perverted potion prankster Naruto

Seriously, are you okay Irina?"

"I'm seriously okay Xenovia, you can stop worrying about me so much. I'm fully recovered and ready to go on missions again." Irina was happy that Xenovia had taken her back to the Church so that she could recover, and even helped her move while her legs weren't working properly. She was thankful for her partner, and she was thankful for the other members of the church who prayed for her.

News of what happened to her did spread around.

Thankfully, she was not a nun or she would have been excommunicated from the church. She was an Exorcist, and while she had a stricter sense of rules she had to follow, her virginity was not one of them in the case of being forced. She was held to a higher standard, but being forced to lose her virginity on a mission was not the same thing as going out and acting the part of a slut. The priests came and visited her, and talked to her to see if she needed to take some time off of missions to mentally recover, and even the nuns were more gentle with her than they usually were.

Xenovia felt guilty about passing out.

"If you need some time-"

"I'm fine to continue the mission Xenovia, and next time when we meet that bastard we're going to lose... win... we're going to win and I'll get to kick him in the nuts extra hard." Irina shook her head after she accidentally said lose instead of win. Sometimes the words that came out of her mouth were a little different than what she wanted to say, and she needed to remind herself that her job was to capture him. "Do we know where he went?" Irina asked as she smiled, a wide smile.

She was excited to get back to work after spending 3 days recovering, any mission right now would be great, but another chance to capture Naruto would be far more appreciated. She had her duties to attend to, and she couldn't sit in her room sulking about what happened to her any longer. She shouldn't do that, or focus on how good it felt, because those thoughts that she had been having were downright sinful.

She needed to capture Naruto to put those sinful feelings in her heart to rest.

"Very well, but our next mission isn't going after Naruto. Since as of now, nobody but a select few people know about his Philosopher's Stone, he has been dropped in priority. Since he lives in Rome, it is unlikely other factions will be able to speak with him." Xenovia stated. So long as Naruto lived in Rome, around Vatican City, no small fry devils would be able to get to him, and it was doubtful that the higher ranked ones would even have the knowledge.

That would mean that there was a spy in the church that was VERY close to their priests, gathering information.

"Anouncement to those in Vatican City. The Saint Asia Argento has been labelled a Witch and Excommunicated from the Church, if you see her on the grounds after 10:00 PM she is to be escorted off the grounds."

"What? No... no seriously what?" Xenovia asked when she heard the announcement. She had never met the Saint in person, but she had great respect for her healing powers. She had trouble imagining a situation in which THE Saint Asia would get herself labelled as a witch and booted from their faith.

Irina seemed just as surprised.

To be labelled a Saint was not small thing, but for a saint to be labelled as a witch was an even greater shame.

-With Asia-

'Did I do the right thing?' Asia thought as she walked off of the grounds of the Church with all of her belongings in her suitcase. She lived in the church, and because of that she was now homeless. She had no place to call her own, but she had been given enough money to last her 2 weeks so that she could get a job of her own. She was 17 years old after all, she was an adult in the eyes of orphanages, so they couldn't send her to one of those.

She healed a Devil.

When Naruto was out for his challenge with the exorcists chasing him, she found an injured devil and healed him. That devil then proceeded to murder an Exorcist from the church, all because she had healed him. She just saw him there, on death's door and begging to be saved, so she used her Sacred Gear to heal him just as an Exorcist got there. Her act of healing the Devil had been seen, and his act of murdering an exorcist had led to her being labelled a witch.

"Hello there stranger, do you need somebody to talk to?"

Asia saw a tall, brown haired priest with glasses, and she blinked for a moment.

"... Naruto?" Asia asked curiously, her head tilted when she saw that perverted twinkle in his eyes. Even disguised as somebody else, that passion and twinkle in his eyes never vanished, and just his laid back and happy demeaner seemed to stay with him.

Naruto didn't seem surprised that she noticed it was him.

"Can't walk around here freely without somebody noticing it is me, so I used a potion to take on the form of a priest I saw. I heard the announcement, and saw you leaving the church, figured you would want some company." Naruto stated to her as he placed an arm over her shoulder. He didn't know what she did to get labelled a witch, but it did make him feel sad for her. "If you need to cry-"

"... I won't cry... I did something, and I'm being punished for it."

"Asia, it's okay to cry when you're sad, even if you're being punished for something. Here, hold Pork-" Naruto passed Pork to Asia, and she held him between her breasts. She smiled and hugged the growing pig, and she looked at Naruto and just focused into his blue eyes. His transformation was slightly off in that his eyes stayed the same color, she actually knew the priest that he was disguised as after all. "-he is a good therapy animal. Still, I'm here for you if you need it, and I'm going to be with you. This place is boring without you, so want to come with me to Japan?" Naruto asked her as he changed the subject.

He had materials that he needed to gather in Japan to further his research into the creation of a monster that he was going to base off of... well he didn't need to go into details. He had a lot that he had to do for his research.

"Japan... but I don't speak Japanese..." Asia looked at Naruto as the passed the border of Vatican City and entered into the Rome territory. She saw Naruto drink a potion as his body transformed back to normal, and he shrunk several inches so that his clothes would fit more him comfortably again. "... I mean... are you okay with a witch..." Asia stopped when she realized who she was talking to.

He was a Magcian, a Mage, an Alchemist.

If there was ANYONE in the world who would accept her, or had no reason to dislike her for her label of witch, it was the guy that literally practiced magic and the creation of monsters. Her was her friend, but she wasn't ignorant to the fact that he created abominations that spat in the face of Heaven.

"Nah, you ain't a witch, you're a White Mage, a Healer. I'm a Black Mage, I do bad things, so having somebody like you around would be great... though... I wouldn't say no to you being my assistant either." Naruto grinned at her. "So, want to come with me to Japan? First, we need to stop by Kyoto, and then we're heading to Kuoh." Naruto explained that they would be going to two decided places in Japan.

Asia didn't know where either of those were in Japan.

She felt a wiggle in her pocket, and her Mini-Shelly came out of her pocket and climbed up to the top of her shoulder. It jumped on top of Naruto's shoulder, and started to snuggle up to him. Naruto grabbed Mini-Shelly and placed it back on Asia's shoulder.

"... I would love to come... what is in Kyoto and Kuoh?" Asia asked, since she didn't know what to expect or what Naruto needed.

"I need Nine Tail Fox Tail Fur, and Kuoh City, according to my territory map, is the shared territory of the Gremory and Sitri clans. I need to get some materials from a Gremory to make an Anti-Magic monster." Naruto had a borrowed map of the Heaven and Hell owned territories of Earth that belonged to the Christian Faction. He might have borrowed it from a priest, who was never going to get it back.

He stole it.

Still, he needed it for his research into Anti-Magic Monsters that could negate a Devil's ability to easily wield their magic. He for sure needed to get some tail fur from a nine tails in order to create the... well had a clue what he wanted to make, but it was still just in the development process in his own mind.

He could always just make a potion with it.

"A devil... you want to visit a devil?" Asia asked, a little startled.

"Oh yeah, the Gremory families natural ability is to possess large magic reserves, and have skilled control over them. My idea is to take that DNA, and reverse that magical ability and turn it into a potion I can mix with a monster... so that instead of granting others great skill and power, contact with the monster will make it impossible to control magic and drain magic away." Naruto leaned forward and started to go into great detail of what he planned to do.

Asia felt a little better as she giggled, Naruto showing off his passion and just being there for her when she needed a friend was great. She was still horribly sad about what happened, but having somebody with her was great on it's own.

"Why though?" Asia asked him.

"Why not, it sounds fun to make. Ooooh, the thought gets me excited just imagining how much work this is going to take! I'm tempted to just skip Kyoto and go straight to Kuoh first." Naruto could barely contain his excitement at what he was going to be able to make. "Okay then, lets go!" Naruto grabbed Asia and started to march towards the airport's general direction.

Asia was taken by surprise.

"So soon!?"

"The sooner the better, no use wasting what little money you have, and I'm pretty damn broke too. Lets get going!" Naruto pulled Asia along. There was no time to waste on such petty things like staying in a hotel or finding a place in Rome to sleep for the night, not when his objective was in another country. "... Oh, actually... I have a better idea than a plane. Oh, this is going to be so much fun." Naruto stated as he looked out into the distance.

There was a much more fun way to travel to Japan.
