DxD: A Blonde Boy

Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Issei was lost.



Issei remembered Naruto had asked him a question like this before but he blabbered without giving the question a deep thought. Now, that he was in a situation like this, it was all clear to him now, the reason why he wanted power.

He balled his fist hard and took a deep breath. "I don't really want absolute power. What I want is the power to save Rias from a terrible fate. Power to keep my friends safe. That's enough for me," he said with fire burning in his eyes, looking straight at Naruto's blue orbs.

Naruto stared at him, he stared and stared and stared so much it made Issei cringe. Naruto looked at the uncomfortable boy on his knees in front of him and his stoic expression slowly morphed into a wicked smirk.

"Meet me in that forest in ten minutes, Hyoudou," he said, pointing at the forest in the distance as he closed the door.

Issei stared at the white door in astonishment before he jumped in happiness and he sped off towards his house to get ready.

"Oi, what are you planning Naruto?" Kurama asked.

"Nothing really. Just wanted to help him out. He might be a perverted boy lacking in a whole lotta things but his heart is where it should be. He has a mini will of fire in him, Kurama."

Kurama's eyes widen when he heard Naruto compliment Issei. Ever since they landed on this dimension, Naruto rarely compliments anyone. The last person he complemented was that little kyūbi.

"Hn, if you say so." Kurama grumbled.

"What are you going to teach him?" Chomei asked curiously.

(Scene Change: Inside the forest)

Naruto was in front of Issei and said boy was in a position worthy of a private in front of a General.

"Now tell me, Hyoudou, What are your abilities?"

Issei's eyes shined and he immediately summoned the Boosted Gear into his hands. "I have the Boosted Gear which doubles my powers every ten seconds. Though there is a limit to how much I can boast," Issei explained as Ddraig, the dragon inside him, watched with enthusiasm.

He wondered what the human would teach his partner.

That's a pretty neat ability for a Sacred Gear," he complimented. "If it doubles your power every ten seconds, then, all we have to do is increase your base power," he explained with a hand on his chin.

"I don't follow, Sensei," Issei was lost.

Naruto sighed. "If you had a base form with a power of 10 units, and with your Boosted Gear at its limit, it turns it to 50 units, then if your base form was upgraded from 10 units to 30 units, then your Boosted Gear's limit would also increase. Your base form is directly proportional to the amount of times you can boost. Do you get it?" Naruto explained.

(In the pure world back at the elemental nation)

"Oi, what is this? Why do I feel so proud of Naruto?" Kakashi asked as he was playing poker with Minato and Kushina. Sasuke too felt this swell of pride inside him. "Hn, it seems the dobe's brain cells finally healed from all the damage it amassed from all these years huh."

"Sasuke-kun, you're making progress. That's the longest sentence I have ever heard you speak," Mikoto gushed. Sasuke blushed at his Mom's praise.

Kushina and Minato could help but adopt a smug grin on their faces. "That's my sochi! Go, Naruto!"

(Back inside the seal)

All the Bijūs actually had to cross check if this was the Naruto they knew.

"Wow, he's come a long way hasn't he?" Tears of joy streamed down Kurama's face.

"Yeah!" The rest of the Bijūs chorused with anime tears.

(Back in reality)

"Oh... I get it now." realization dawned on Issei's face.

"First off, I'll build your endurance, next is durability." Naruto paced back and forth, his hands behind him as he talked. "Let's start with the basics… Push ups."

Issei nodded reluctantly. Push ups seemed… unnecessary, at this point. What he expected was a new flashy technique or a new combat technique. Of all the things he expected, push ups definitely wasn't among them.

"Now, don't think I'd go lenient on you, son. You are a devil and you're much stronger than an average human." Naruto barked back in Sensei Mode.

"Hai!" Issei screamed with a salute.

"Are you ready to build some endurance?!"

"Hai!"

"Are you ready to break your limits?!"

"Yeah!"

"Give me a thousand push ups!"

"Hai?" Issei croaked with less enthusiasm.

"Go on then!" Naruto yelled at Issei.

He immediately went to the floor and started doing push ups. His arms were about to give out at his thirty fifth push up before Naruto slapped him with a Raiton enhanced hand on the back.

"Start again."

"What have I gotten myself into?" Issei thought as he cried anime tears.

"Hehe, I've been bored lately, Hyoudou Make sure you survive Gai-sensei's beginners training routine muahahaha!" Naruto stared at the suffering Issei with sick glee.

"1,256!" Issei screamed on top of his lungs as he dropped down on the forest floor after running laps around the forest and he had to dodge the stones Naruto threw at him.

Those stones hurt like a bitch.

The only thing he regretted was not writing his will before coming to the forest to meet his blasted sensei. He had been made to try exercises he didn't know about.

How was he supposed to walk on his fingers around the forest with a boulder attached to his back?

"That's enough for today's warm up, Hyoudou." Naruto crossed his arms on his chest. He stared at the kid's overall state and whistled. The boy's red sweatsuit was in tatters.

What were the clothes of this dimension made from? He idly wondered.

"Now, Hyoudou, I want you to aim your strongest technique at that hill." Naruto pointed at a hill in the distance.

Issei, who was painting on the floor, got up to a wobbly stance. "Aim my strongest attack at that hill?" He pointed at the hill.

"Did I stutter?" The blonde teacher glared at his student.

"All right Sensei. Boosted gear!" He called out. The gauntlet charged up, a pale red energy ball condensing in his hand. Naruto's pupil dilated a fraction at the amount of power in the orb.
