"I'm recommending them because they are the only option available. All other familiars with natural healing capabilities are unsuitable for various reasons.
Even a bad option is the best choice when it is the only option. Unless of course he is willing to change his desire," Zatouji explained before looking at Naruto expectantly.
Crossing his arms to form an X, Naruto claimed, "Nope. I want what I want, and I'm going to get it."
Rias just sighed at his answer before grumbling, "Your stubbornness is probably going to come bite you in the ass right now, Naruto-kun."
"Well lucky for you, I know the procedure to gain a fairy as a familiar," Zatouji declared smugly before raising a finger and elaborating, "It is a three-step process. The first step involves gathering a variety of ingredients. Once you have gathered them all, they can be mixed to create a powder that smells extremely pleasant to fairies. It is the bait. It will draw all the fairies in the region. The next step is creating a sort of shrine or offering with objects important to you. The fairies drawn by the smell will judge you based on this shrine. The third step is basically just waiting. Any fairies that find you satisfactory will come up to you. After that you form the typical familiar contract."
"Sounds simple," Naruto commented thoughtfully.
"It isn't," Zatouji immediately argued before explaining, "The first step is relatively simple, if rather time consuming. The second is the easiest, but the third step is fraught with uncertainty. I have seen devils try to court a fairy to become a familiar for months or even years without success, and others succeed in days. There is no guarantee."
"I don't care," Naruto claimed nonchalantly before continuing with a confident grin, "I tend to shine in difficult situations with little chance of success.
It's when things are going well that things go to hell. This is right up my alley." Whenever life gets too easy for Naruto, his luck turns to shit.
Yet it is always luck that tends to save him when things seem hopeless. It is hit or miss like that.
"Confident without any basis for it. You really are an idiot," Raynare exclaimed bluntly.
"It is fine, Naruto-san. I know you will succeed," Asia said honestly.
"Aww, you are so supportive, Asia," Naruto exclaimed loudly, pulling the nun into a hug and rubbing his cheek against the top of her head. She naturally blushed at the contact. Naruto then lifted his head to glare at Raynare as he added childishly, "Not like that meanie, Ray-chan."
"Ray-chan?" Raynare repeated in disbelief, sounding out the nickname like it was completely foreign. Rubbing her forehead in annoyance, she just turned her back on Naruto as she added, "No…Just…no. I'm not even going to acknowledge that stupid nickname."
Grinning mischievously, Naruto let go of Asia and darted towards the fallen angel. Moving to face her, he said slowly and clearly, "Ray-chan."
Raynare just turned her back on him again, trying to ignore him completely. He tried again, but the cycle just repeated.
She refused to even acknowledge that nickname. The best way to punish an attention whore like Naruto is to ignore him entirely.
It pisses him off more than anything…Or he'll just think of this as a game to see who's more stubborn.
Just sweat dropping at how Naruto has seemingly forgotten what they were talking about, Yuuto turned to Zatouji and questioned, "You said that the first task was time consuming? Just how long does it usually take?"
"I'd say a week. Travel isn't an issue since devils can fly, but most of these ingredients are prized by several inhabitants of this forest.
They'll give them up, but usually require you to perform tasks in payment," Zatouji answered.
Proving he had been listening, Naruto stopped trying to bug Raynare in favor of declaring, "I better hurry then. If I plan to finish by tonight."
"Impossible."
Naruto just grinned at Zatouji's statement and replied confidently, "I'll make you eat those words, ossan."
Zatouji looked annoyed at how he was addressed, but still pulled out a notepad. Writing on it for a minute, he tore it off and shoved it in Naruto's hand as he informed him, "This is a list of the ingredients you'll need to gather."
"Got it. I'll go gather them now," Naruto claimed enthusiastically.
"Wait. You're going to leave us, Naruto-san," Asia asked uncertainly.
"Not at all," Naruto said with a mischievous grin, only confusing the group. How can he go collect ingredients and stay with them at the same time? Grin only widening at their confusion, Naruto crossed his fingers and called out, "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu." A second Naruto appeared beside him in a puff of smoke.
Everyone just stared in disbelief. Naruto decided not revealing this technique before was worth it. He'd only felt confident enough in his chakra reserves a week ago to use this technique again.
He'd kept it hidden though so that he could see all their faces. Totally worth it.
Patting his clone on the shoulder, Naruto explained to the shocked group, "This could probably have been called my trademark technique before coming here. The Shadow Clone Technique. It creates near perfect copies of myself."
"…Such a glorious technique," Akeno finally proclaimed in awe, a blush spreading across her face as X-rated thoughts went through her mind.
Koneko just stared at her dispassionately before muttering, "…Ero-senpai." Akeno didn't even seem to hear the remark or just didn't care.
"How long have you been capable of doing this?" Yuuto asked as he looked over the clone.
"I probably could have managed it a month ago, but not to the level I'd have much confidence in.
A week ago is when I gained the chakra reserves necessary to perform it to my satisfaction," Naruto informed them.
"And these are perfect copies?" Rias asked as she attempted to dissect the mechanics of the technique, already thinking of the possibilities such an ability would allow.
"Near perfect," Naruto answered before clarifying, "They are me. They think exactly like me, except with the knowledge that they aren't real.
