"Talking"
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 Month Later
"Are you okay?" Naruto asked the twitching woman in front of him, who was trying very hard to hide the obvious pain she was in.
"Of course, I couldn't be better! Thank you for meeting with me, Youkai God-san." Katerea Leviathan responded her smile tight.
"Yeah, no problem. What did you need again?" Naruto asked. They were seated in the middle of the Leviathan estate, previously home to Serafall Levithan. Serafall had vacated the estate when the underworld had been purified, as most devils did, but Katerea Leviathan had decided to make her new home here.
"Y-yes, I hoped to discuss the c-church moving into your t-t-t-territory," Katerea said in response, slightly shaking and stuttering as her fist tightened.
"Y'know, we can have the meeting somewhere else if you want. It's probably pretty painful being in the underworld still." Naruto said kindly, gesturing to all the pure natural energy flowing around them.
"M-maybe for the l-lowly fake Satans, but I a-assure you, I don't even n-notice the poison, Youkai God-san!" Katerea said, looking in obvious pain despite her words.
"Cool… anyways. What do you mean by the church moving into my territory? I've had a couple of angels come to get autographs, but I haven't seen anyone moving in nearby." Naruto said questioningly.
"Not your K-Kyoto territory, I am referring to the underworld. D-Did you really permit them to come down here?" Katerea asked, showcasing no emotion on her face as she struggled to stay composed.
"No, I didn't give anyone permission to come down here, mostly because this isn't my territory. I don't care what goes on in the underworld." Naruto said dismissively.

"O-Of course, it is very kind of you to help us devils keep face! Allowing us to publicly rule the u-underworld when everyone knows it's yours is very generous!" Katerea said, completely missing his refusal.
"This has happened enough times by now that I'm just not even going to try and argue," Naruto sighed, "But no, I didn't give the church permission to be in the underworld. I've never even really talked to them aside from signing autographs."
"I-I knew it! Those dirty good-doers are invading your territory and setting up a base, Youkai God-san! Worry not, the Old Satan Faction will help you expel them!" She said, slamming her palm on the table as she stood up, then jerking her hand back as her hand smoked slightly from the positive energy stinging her.
"If you want them gone, then you gotta do it yourself. I'm not helping with anything, since this isn't even my territory. I don't remember giving you permission to be down here either, y'know?" Naruto said, leaning back in his chair as he felt a headache forming.
"A-Actually, I spoke with your secretary, Kami-sama. I had assumed she told you." Katerea said, shrinking back at his words.
"My secretary?" He asked.
"Yup."
"That was meant to be a question! What do you mean my secretary?" Naruto said in exasperation.
"Lady Ophis, of course." She said as if the answer was obvious.
"Sooo… you spoke to Ophis, who said she's my secretary and that you could live down here?" He asked incredulously.
"Yup! Her exact words were, 'I don't care what you do anymore, I'm going to help the Youkai God now.'" Katerea said, holding up her finger as if she were a student answering a question.
That sounds less like her giving you permission and more like her trying to get rid of you.
"And where is that sentence does it say she's my secretary?" Naruto asked.
"Well, I kind of assumed that part, but she said she would help you! I doubted that someone of her stature would be in a position any lower than a secretary!" Katerea reasoned, looking more and more like a lunatic with each passing second.
"Yeah, well, this sounds like your problem and not mine. What was it that Ophis said to you? 'I don't care what you do?' Yeah, that's how I feel. You do you." Naruto said, standing up to walk away from the busty woman.
"Wait! I'll suck your dick if you help us!" Katerea shouted behind him.
"That's… enticing, but I'm good." Naruto kept walking down the hallway towards the exit.
"You can pound me all night!" Katerea shouted as she walked behind him frantically, twitching as she was stung with every step.
"Nope. I'll pass."
"W-wait! I'll marry you!"
"Still passing."
"I-I'll have your children!"
"You're moving backward now."
"I'll be your sex slave!"
Naruto sighed as he walked out the front door of the estate, ignoring the woman as her shouts increased in what she'd give him.
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day
"Where were you last night, Yasaka?" Naruto asked as he ate a bowl of rice, glancing at the Youkai Queen. She, along with Grayfia, was uncharacteristically absent from his bed the night before.
"Ah, my apologies Kami-sama! I didn't think you'd miss me so much!" Yasaka said as she wrapped her arms around his head, smothering him in her breasts, "Grayfia and I were dealing with the church in the underworld! Don't worry, we kicked them out in your name!"
"Rhy pid ou du phat?" Naruto's muffled voice said from within her breasts.
"You're new sex slave asked us to, Kami-sama!" Yasaka said, releasing him from her hold, "I know she's just a sex slave, Kami-sama, but I need to build a strong relationship with all your women if I want to be your harem manager one day!"
Naruto sighed as he glanced at the chair next to him, "So, that's why you're here now, huh?"
"Yup! Please treat me well, or rough, or however you want to!" Katerea said next to him, giving him a salute.
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 Months Later
"Are you sure I should be helping you with this, Rias-chan?" Naruto asked as he followed the red-haired girl and her peerage, consisting of just a busty half-fallen named Akeno and a young boy named Kiba, through a dark forest.
"Of course, Kami-sama! I value your input over everyone else's! Since you're so cool, I know you'll be able to help me find a cool familiar!" Rias said as she walked like a soldier in front of him, leading them through the forest.
"Ah, I see you've come to get another familiar, young heiress! Allow me to offer my assistance!" A loud voice shouted from above, and a man in a white tank top with a red backward hat jumped down in front of them from a tree.
"The name's Zatouji, the Poke- ahem, the familiar master!" The man shouted, leaning back and giving them a thumbs up. He was completely ignored as the group walked past him.
"W-wait! You need my guidance to catch a powerful Poke- familiar!" The man shouted, running up behind the group.
"Sorry, Zatouji, but we don't need your help this time. Kami-sama will find the most powerful Pokemon for me!" Rias shouted, ignoring Zatouji's deadpanned look.
"Sorry, man, but I've started to like crazy people less since coming here," Naruto said apologetically, then glanced at Rias, "By the way, what's a pokemon?"
"Fufu, she meant a familiar. My master is so cute with her anime obsession." Akeno said, giggling as her hand covered her mouth.
"Shush, Akeno! Not in front of Kami-sama!" Rias retorted with a red face.
"Anime?" Naruto asked cluelessly.
"A show based on a manga, like the one about you, Kami-sama. That's actually how Rias got into anime, as she loved your manga so much and could only reread the same two chapters so many times." Akeno supplied helpfully.
"Akeno! Shush! Sorry, Kami-sama, I'll be sure to punish her when we're back home." Rias said with a red face as she puffed out her chest.
"Oooo~ So naughty, master~ Fufufu~" Akeno giggled.
I feel like she'd get along well with Kuroka.
"Fine, but don't come crying to me when you can't find anything good!" Zatouji huffed, pretending to run away and then not-so-subtly hiding in a bush to trail them.
"So, Kami-sama, which type of familiar should we look for?" Rias asked, looking up at Naruto with stars in her eyes.
"Uh… a cool one?" Naruto said.
How would I know? I've never seen a familiar before.
Luckily, Rias was too infatuated to notice, and the stars in her eyes got even bigger, "You're so wise, Kami-sama!"
Akeno giggled at Rias's infatuation while Kiba looked confused. The group continued on until Naruto heard a faint stomp coming from their right and he pointed in the direction, "I think there might be something over there."
"Idiot, there's nothing over there! Now they'll all see how inferior you are to me!" Zatouji not-so-quietly whispered from his bush.
"Great job, Kami-sama! Let's head that way!" Rias said. They all headed in the direction Naruto heard the stomping and said stomping suddenly became much more noticeable. It increased in volume until it sounded like they were in an earthquake.
A large figure came into view and the group walked into a large clearing in the middle of a forest.
"So, you've come to challenge me, Youkai God?!" A voice roared down at him. He glanced up at the giant red dragon staring down at him.
Tiamat:
[Great Dragon King]
Lvl: 600
STR: 890
DEX: 450
CON: 850
INT: 190
WIS: 250
CHA: ?

Tiamat is one of the Five Great Dragon Kings.
"Nope. I came to see if you were a familiar. Is this a familiar?" Naruto asked, glancing back to the quivering Zatouji in a bush.
"Me, one of the Five Great Dragon Kings, becoming a familiar?! You have a strange sense of humor, Youkai God! Now, let us commence battle!" The dragon roared, staring menacingly down at the group.
"If you want to stand a chance against me, you need to get a bit faster and smarter." Naruto deadpanned.
"What? What are yo-" The dragon was cut off by Naruto's shadow clone slamming a Rasengan into the back of her head. Her head slammed into the ground and she let out a grunt of pain.
"Woah, two Kami-samas?!" Rias said, looking as if she was on cloud nine.
"Yeah, I can do that. I sent him out earlier to look for any familiars. This dragon is a bit too slow to keep up." Naruto said as Tiamat dragged herself to her feet.
"You sneaky bastard! I won't fall for that silly trick of yours twice!" She promptly fell for his trick again as the same clone slammed a second Rasengan into her head.
"Did you think I'd just go away or something?" The clone asked, staring incredulously at the groaning dragon. Said dragon swung her tail backward, forcing the clone to dash back and land in a tree.
"Fine, maybe your trick worked twice, but it won't work agai-" Tiamat was cut off by another Rasengan slamming into her head.
"I actually sent out a few clones to look for familiars. You should focus more on fighting and less on boasting." Naruto said helpfully as he looked at the dragon lying in a crater. Tiamat let out a roar as she took to the sky, flapping her wings and glaring down at Naruto.
"That may have worked more times than I'd like to admit, but now the battle really-" A fist slammed into the side of her face and she plummeted back to the ground.
"You were looking at my clone. I know we look alike, but c'mon." Naruto sighed, crouching next to the dragon's face as smoke came off of his fist.
"I… surrender. You are truly worthy of being my partner, Youkai God! I will become your familiar." Tiamat said, staring up wearily at Naruto.
"What? No, we're here for Rias to get a familiar. You'll be hers." Naruto said as he turned his back to the downed dragon and walked back to Rias's group.
"What?! One of the Five Great Dragon Kings becoming a familiar to a lowly high-class devil? Even worse, one who's just a teenager! You can't be serious!" Tiamat shouted, staring at Naruto. Naruto clenched his fist again as he prepared for a fight to start again, but didn't get the chance to.
"Wait! Listen to me!" Rias said, running up to the dragon. She whispered in her ear.
"Oh? You'll become his wife?"
I have a bad feeling about this.
"His first wife? I'll get to fight him whenever I want once you two are married?"
What's the point in whispering if you're just going to relay everything out loud anyway?
"Hmmph. I do like a good love story, but don't think I'll be convinced so easily, little devil!"
Thank goodness. You're not as dumb as you seem.
"What? I'll get early access to all his new manga chapters? You should've said that earlier! You have a deal, new partner!"
And so, Rias Gremory was the first devil to have a Dragon King as her familiar. Legends say that the Youkai God's facepalm was heard all around the world.

1 Month Later
"Kami-sama, wake up! It's an emergency! Be prepared for battle!" Yasaka shouted as she shook Naruto awake with a panicked look on her face. Naruto jolted out of bed, rustling the naked forms of Kuroka, Grayfia, Venelana, and Katerea as he sat up.
"What's going on?" Naruto said seriously as he rushed out of bed, the women around him doing the same as they awoke.
I've never seen Yasaka look so afraid. Whoever's here, they must be a big deal!
"I'm not sure why, but Ophis is in the kitchen! Even with your power, Kami-sama, it'll be a tough fight! Be prepared for the fight of our lives!" Yasaka said seriously.
"Ophis is here?!" Kuroka gasped, channeling energy through her body as she readied herself for battle.
"What? That's all?" Naruto asked, staring at Yasaka incredulously.
"Kami-sama, I know how powerful you are, but Ophis is still a Dragon God. She won't be an easy opponent!" Yasaka said.
"Yeah, I know she's strong, but her being here isn't a problem. She's always here." Naruto said with a tilted head.
"Thank you for taking this situation seriously, Kami-sama! We must fight for our li-wait, what? She's always here?" Yasaka said, staring at him in confusion. Naruto nodded and walked out the door of his bedroom, ignoring the shouts of alarm from the women behind him as they rushed to give him assistance in the upcoming battle.
Naruto opened the door to the kitchen and saw Ophis sitting at one of the tables, staring at a bowl of rice but not eating it, "Hey, Ophis-chan, good morning."
"Good morning, Naruto-chan." Ophis's emotionless voice resounded in response. Naruto walked past her and patted her on the head before starting to make himself breakfast.
"Y-you actually know her, Kami-sama?" Yasaka asked with wide eyes.
"Yeah, duh. She's been living here for like a year now." Naruto said, looking at Yasaka like she was an idiot.
"W-what do you mean?! I'd notice if someone so powerful had been here the whole time!" Yasaka said shakily.
"I came here to observe the Youkai God. You were not deemed necessary, so I hid myself from your senses. The Youkai God seems to value you highly, so I have decided to reveal myself." Ophis said simply.
"I told you she was here a while ago, but you didn't believe me. You didn't think it was weird that I said 'good morning Ophis' every day?" Naruto asked.
"I, uh, thought that you were speaking to a handmaid. I can't remember most of their names…" Yasaka said with a small blush on her face.
"A handmaid with the same name as the Ouroboros Dragon God?" Naruto deadpanned as Yasaka's face turned beet red.
"So, she's friendly?" Kuroka asked. She got her answer in the form of Shirone entering the kitchen with Konou.
"Good morning, Kami-sama. Good morning, big sister. Good morning, Ophis-chan. Good morning everyone else!" Shirone said as she took a seat next to Ophis, Konou taking a position on the other side and giving Ophis a greeting.
"They look like me, so I allowed them to see me a few months ago," Ophis said simply as the women stared at them in confusion. Kuroka's eyes darted to Ophis's petite body, then to the other girls, then gave a small nod.
"Alright, welcome to the harem, Ophis-chan!" Kuroka said, wrapping her arms around Ophis and stuffing Ophis's head into her breasts.
"Don't call me that, cat. I dislike the balloons on your chest."
