Lucifer Castle – Northern Wing – Forbidden Room.
The three maids were lost in their thoughts, each absorbed in the movements of their lord and their own ideas about the current situation.
"Where's the bathroom?"
A voice sounded behind the trio, making them jump in alarm as they turned to see who had spoken—only to gasp in shock.
Hilda quickly glanced at the bed beside her.
He's not there… she thought, turning back to see the young man who was supposed to be unconscious and showing no signs of waking.
"N…Na… Naruto-sama…"
Yolda swallowed imperceptibly, staring in surprise at her lord, who was standing tall and radiating health.
Yes, it was Naruto the trio was now staring at. But his eyes—once a beautiful golden hue—were now dark and deep, completely different from before.
Naruto: "That must be the bathroom…" he said, looking at the extra door in the room. He walked calmly over, opened it, and confirmed it was indeed a bathroom.
Naruto entered with a yawn and went to the sink. He turned the faucet, splashed some water on his face, and began to wash up.
As he wiped his face with his arm, he noticed he was wearing a strange long gown. He smirked dryly for a moment but gave it no importance, then unwrapped a toothbrush, added some cream, and began brushing his teeth.
At the bathroom door, Hilda and the others could only stare in astonishment as their lord carried out basic hygiene.
Yolda broke into a nervous sweat. Something about this felt wrong.
Naruto spat, rinsed his mouth, then wiped the remaining water away with his arm.
Naruto: "Bath…" he said calmly, extending his hands to each side.
The trio, still stunned, quickly understood the order and rushed to him.
Yolda moved behind Naruto, while Matsui knelt in front. They began lifting his gown upward with delicate care, revealing his bare body and his impressive manhood—already hard as stone.
Matsui licked her lips.
Yolda blushed faintly.
Hilda: "The tub is already filling…" she said professionally, though the cute blush on her cheeks weakened her composure.
Naruto: "No, wash me. I won't get into the tub." His golden eyes now glimmered with faint amusement.
Matsui was the first to start removing her clothes.
Naruto: "Wait." He stopped her, to the trio's curiosity.
Naruto: "You'll do it in front of me." He smiled and went to sit on a bench.
Matsui nodded.
Naruto: "I had a funny dream… and now I want something real." He smiled as Matsui began stripping, one garment at a time.
Though blushing, Hilda quickly felt something was wrong with her lord. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but he was acting strangely… Still, it was his command.
Yolda, without hesitation, also began to reveal her sexy body for her lord's eyes. She didn't think it was enough, but if he wanted to look, touch, taste—she would never refuse. That would be her greatest honor, and her mother would be proud. She refused to lag behind her younger sister.
Hilda was slower to undress than the others, but minutes later, the trio stood fully naked before Naruto, who now had an impressive view, since they were hiding nothing.
Naruto: "Hands behind your backs."
They obeyed, and the action made their breasts stand out even more.
Naruto: "Come closer, Yolda. As for you two—" he gestured to Hilda and the maid he didn't yet know—"take care of my friend." He said it calmly, making Hilda swallow nervously. This isn't how it's supposed to be… not before marriage, at least.
Matsui approached with a smile and no hesitation. Besides, Rizevim-sama had ordered her to look after Naruto-sama. To Matsui, Naruto was her idol and role model. Pleasing him was an honor she could boast about to her friends.
She knelt, eyeing the hard mast she had once helped to clean. Without hesitation, she took it in her hand and ran her tongue along it.
Hilda exhaled deeply before summoning her courage and moving forward.
Yolda, at Naruto's side, looked at him curiously—until he grabbed one of her breasts, making her moan, and pulled her into a hot, tongue-filled kiss.
Yolda savored her lord's refreshing tongue and moaned at his dominant touch, which made her feel hotter. The fact that they were sharing saliva only intensified the sensation.
Naruto enjoyed the warm breaths of the others tending to his manhood. Their hot mouths felt good on him.
"Hoho… sorry to interrupt. You didn't close the door."
A voice startled the trio of maids, though they didn't stop their tasks. Naruto, devouring Yolda's tongue, didn't let her pull away to see who had entered.
After a few more seconds, Naruto broke the heated kiss, still kneading Yolda's breasts, and glanced past her shoulder.
There stood none other than Rizevim, smiling.
Naruto: "You did that on purpose. If you heard moans, you should've turned back. But instead, you walked right in…" he said flatly, exposing the lie.
Rizevim only grinned.
Rizevim: "You can screw them later. We need to talk. Besides… you just woke up." His tone was half amused, half exasperated. His friend looked like a damn incubus.
Naruto grabbed Hilda's head, making her gasp, and shoved himself deep into her throat as he released.
Her eyes flew wide open, tears spilling as the hot liquid slid down her throat. It was too much.
Hilda pulled back, coughing, and Matsui quickly took her place, her throat bulging as Naruto pushed deep.
Rizevim: "Damn! You're going to kill them…" he couldn't help exclaiming in shock.
Naruto's eyes glowed with darkness as he glared at Rizevim, who blinked before smirking maliciously, realizing what it meant.
Naruto: "Are you going to keep watching?" he asked, sliding a hand down Yolda's backside, pulling her close, and claiming what was his.
Rizevim: "We really need to talk." He let a bit of his aura leak out—and Naruto's aura instantly flared in response, faintly visible.
Naruto blinked, confused at his own instinctive defiance. Normally, Rizevim's antics never bothered him.
Rizevim smirked.
Rizevim: "You need answers too." His smug grin made Naruto sigh.
Naruto: "Fine, fine. I'll take a quick bath. You girls wait here. And don't tell anyone I've woken up." His tone was calm, and they all understood.
Rizevim turned, closing the bathroom door behind him.
Naruto went to the shower for a quick rinse, while the three maids remained hot and frustrated—even the timid Hilda.
Matsui quickly entered the shower to help wash his back.
Yolda followed.
Hilda, meanwhile, licked her lips, savoring the lingering taste of her lord. Almost unconsciously, her hand drifted to her flat belly, rubbing it gently.
20 Minutes Later.
Naruto emerged from the room dressed in light brown trousers, a white shirt, and strange masculine sandals.
Rizevim was waiting, and the two began walking down a dim corridor of the castle, one without lamps.
Naruto: "Why…?" he asked curiously.
Rizevim: "Why do you feel more aggressive? More warlike? Out of control—or a sensation very different from your usual self?" He listed calmly. Naruto glanced at him from the corner of his eye, then nodded.
Rizevim: "It's simple. You were dying. After holding back the Heavenly Dragons long enough, you started to fall unconscious, with your magic nearly drained. A Fallen took advantage and struck you with a light spear through your chest. Father saved you. I was there, but since you were literally dead and out of magic, your Phoenix power couldn't revive you. Father didn't think you would survive. You lost too much blood. But the war began, so we sent you back here for treatment. You needed blood… there was none available except the preserved samples of my late mother." He explained calmly.
Naruto's eyes widened.
Naruto: "You mean…" he exclaimed.
Rizevim: "Yes. I ordered them to save you by any means. You're too fun to lose. Lilith's blood now runs through your veins. You nearly died several times trying to adapt—it almost killed you. So I allowed them to inject a bit of my blood, and then the blood and essence of my mother within you finally stabilized and adapted. Father always said our blood was literally poison, but seeing it with my own eyes… it was spectacular." He grinned—only to nearly trip as Naruto stuck out his foot.
Naruto: "I'm not happy being your experiment." He spat coldly.
Rizevim: "Meh. At least you're alive, ungrateful brat." He dismissed it and led the way until they arrived at a chamber. Rizevim opened it, and Naruto stepped in, raising a brow at the familiar figure resting on a large bed.
Naruto: "Leviathan…" he muttered in disbelief.
Rizevim: "That's right. You don't know. She's the last Original Maou left. I hid her for you. After all—you cursed her. That curse helped her survive." He explained casually.
Naruto snapped his fingers, and Leviathan's eyes opened—blank and lifeless—but she didn't move or rise.
Naruto turned his attention fully back to Rizevim.
Naruto: "Tell me everything." He said seriously.
Rizevim: "Did you know Michael is gay and curious? Once, Father saw him shove a finger up his—" He stopped when he noticed the collar that had been around his neck was now in Naruto's hand, tightening.
Rizevim broke into a sweat, wondering when he had stolen it.
Sighing, he began to explain in earnest.
Phoenix Territory – Streets – Clothing Shop.
Trying on dresses, Marianne was searching for something less tight to accommodate her pregnancy.
She hummed while examining the garments, but none seemed to satisfy her.
The shop attendants kept bringing clothes, while the maid accompanying Marianne inspected them before handing them over.
Suddenly, the entrance bell rang, and two armored guards entered. The Phoenix symbol gleamed on their chests.
"Lady Phoenix, Lord Phoenix has forbidden your leaving the castle. Please return with us immediately."
One of the guards declared calmly. Marianne recognized him as Zack, one of her son's trainers when he was younger.
Marianne frowned.
Marianne: "It seems you've forgotten who leads this clan…" she said coldly, staring at the guards. But they did not waver; their orders were absolute.
The maid beside her instantly moved into a defensive stance.
Zack stepped forward.
Zack: "Please, my lady. Don't make this difficult. I'm only doing my duty." His tone was soft but firm.
The shop attendants froze, unsure what to do.
"Yes, it seems they don't recognize their superior."
A voice, unfamiliar yet strangely recognizable to some, echoed suddenly.
Zack felt a powerful grip on the back of his neck, then was yanked backward with force.
BOOOM!
A small explosion shook the shop, shattering glass. Marianne was not frightened, though. Her eyes shone as she saw the "stranger" who had appeared to save her from humiliation in her weakened, vulnerable state.
"...Naruto."
Marianne's whisper spread through the shop like wildfire.
Without looking back at his mother, Naruto strode outside, facing the small unit of stationed guards and Zack, his former trainer.
Bystanders turned to look and gasped as they recognized none other than the "benevolent one" returned—Lord Naruto Phoenix.
Naruto wore a dark suit that made him strikingly handsome in the eyes of young women, yet intimidating in the gaze of men. To many young men, he was an idol—an example to follow.
Naruto: "It seems you've forgotten who you're dealing with—my mother, the one who gave you life and a future." His calm words carried a cold edge as he glared at the frozen guards.
"L…Lord Phoenix…"
Naruto narrowed his eyes.
Naruto: "Lord what? You dare give me excuses?" His tone sharpened as a strange energy began to radiate from him—visible to all.
From the ground, Zack rubbed his neck and spoke.
Zack: "We were only following Lord Phoenix's orders…" he said, hoping to calm his former pupil.
A powerful presence exploded outward, a strange heat flooding the area.
Naruto: "Does that mean my mother's word is inferior? Since when?" His voice, heavy with authority, swept over the guards and onlookers alike. Everyone understood: their young master placed his mother's word above all, even above Lord Phoenix himself.
Zack opened and closed his mouth like a fish, unable to respond under Naruto's piercing gaze.
"What's going on here?!"
A shout drew everyone's attention to the newly arrived Lord Phoenix, flanked by guards, Phoenix generals, and two elders. They had come to investigate the overwhelming presence shaking the territory—only to freeze in shock at the sight of Lord Naruto himself.
Naruto calmly turned his gaze to his father, who now stood with the highest-ranking Phoenix officers.
Lord Phoenix stiffened, stunned to see his son alive and well.
Naruto: "Whose word weighs more—my mother's, or my father's?" he asked coldly, to everyone.
The two elders behind Lord Phoenix scowled, while the generals swallowed hard. They knew well what the young master was capable of. He had faced enemies they could only dream of surviving against—and he had even held off the two Heavenly Dragons. His power was absolute.
Silence engulfed the scene.
Lord Phoenix frowned.
Naruto: "Kneel."
His calm command echoed through the square.
The spectators dropped to their knees without hesitation, children included, smiling as they did. Naruto was someone they would follow without doubt. As he said—he and his mother had given them life, and they owed them.
The guards, including Zack, knelt with bowed heads.
Naruto turned his gaze to the generals. They knelt reluctantly, but it didn't matter—they would be replaced.
Naruto: "And you, elders? You know the hierarchy. It hasn't changed." His tranquil words shattered their pride, forcing them to kneel as well.
All did so—except for Lord Phoenix.
In the blink of an eye, Naruto vanished and appeared directly before his father.
Lord Phoenix's eyes widened in shock. Shouldn't he still be recovering?
Naruto leaned close and whispered in his ear.
Naruto: "Don't ever do that again—especially when she's in a weakened state. Or I'll forget we're even related." His words were meant only for the two of them.
Lord Phoenix immediately understood. His son's loyalty lay with Marianne, not him. He had been weak, failing to fight for his wife, and never expected Naruto to surpass him—to dominate his own father.
"Narutooooo!"
A feminine cry rang out as Marianne rushed from the shop. In an instant, Naruto turned, appearing before her, and embraced her lovingly. She returned it warmly. Before everyone's eyes, it was the heartfelt reunion of mother and son after months apart.
One thing was certain now: Lady Phoenix was in command—and no one would forget it again.
Zack swallowed hard, cursing internally. What began as a small power grab during Lady Marianne's weakest moment had now triggered Naruto's awakening. Together, he and Marianne were an influence unmatched—and beloved by all.
After the fiasco in the Phoenix capital, the Phoenix "family" returned to the castle, with news of Naruto's awakening spreading quickly, along with what had occurred in the city. Lady Marianne Phoenix retained her power.
Phoenix Castle – Living Room.
Seated together, Naruto and his parents faced each other—though the difference was clear. Marianne sat beside Naruto on the same couch, while Lord Phoenix sat alone across from them.
A maid entered, breaking the tense silence, carrying a tray of drinks. She served Naruto first, then Marianne, and finally Lord Phoenix, who made a subtle grimace. Weeks ago, he had always been the priority.
Naruto calmly sipped his orange juice, while Marianne drank her fruit mix.
Naruto: "So, intimidating mother, father?" he asked coolly.
Marianne scoffed quietly.
Lord Phoenix sighed.
Lord Phoenix: "I only wanted to protect her during this delicate pregnancy. You know how your mother is… I just didn't want her stressed." He exhaled heavily.
Naruto: "That's not what it looked like to me." He countered effortlessly.
Lord Phoenix: "Enough! I am your father, and you owe me respect!" he snapped, finally losing patience. He was the man of the house, after all.
Naruto tilted his head slightly, but said nothing.
Lord Phoenix frowned. His son had slipped completely from his control. Even Sirzechs didn't behave this way toward his own father. How are we supposed to handle this war if he won't obey? Like it or not, he'll have to join us once the Phoenix forces move.
Naruto: "Are you finished?" he asked indifferently, uninterested in dragging the conversation out. To everyone else, he looked like a son angry over his mother's mistreatment. Even his fool of a father thought so.
Lord Phoenix clicked his tongue and stood. Better to speak with Azula instead. Once the Phoenix forces joined the war effort, Naruto would have no choice but to participate. There was no way he'd let his clan suffer.
Without another word, Lord Phoenix turned and left.
Marianne sneered. If only she could kill the bastard without consequences, she would've done it long ago. Trying to take advantage of her weakened state? What did he think would happen once she regained her full strength after the pregnancy?
Naruto: "So you're pregnant?" he asked, turning back to his mother.
Marianne: "I found out two months ago. And no—I didn't reconcile with him. He came to my room drunk and forced himself in…
Naruto: wow… - he exclaimed in surprise before blinking, he felt like he was forgetting something.
Human World – Phoenix Island – Phoenix Castle – Balcony.
Yoruhime and a beautiful blonde standing next to her looked in the distance at a certain goddess who has secluded herself in solitude for the past few weeks.
"What's wrong with her? She used to be so pretty."
The beautiful unknown blonde asked and said to Yoruhime who sighed.
Yoruhime: Your son hasn't visited you in months, we must watch her or she might destroy the underworld that is at war... - she said calmly to the blonde.
"Can I help you?"
The blonde asked.
Yoruhime: better not, she is not in her right mind... Aphrodite... - she answered the time known as Aphrodite as the duo looked at Gaia in silence.
"Naru….
