Maelstrom Overlord Christmas: Part 1
Land of Fire
Winter has come, and the snow slowly falls, many snowflakes dance down to the earth and merge with the rest on the ground. Tonight, is Christmas eve, where everyone is festive and gay in their own usual way but not all are eager to celebrate when evil roams these lands, causing chaos and torment in the Land of Fire. The Maelstrom Overlord, recently coronated with that title and crown is having a long winter walk in the dark frozen forest, while raiding a few houses on the way and slaying meddling ninja who dare try and attack him. But alas, despite the chaotic fun he had, it still doesn't help him with his foul mood when he knows of day is coming today.
He HATED Christmas, just like his predecessor he remembered the cold horrible childhoods wandering in the cold streets while everyone is happy and warm in their cozy homes, singing their festive songs. But Naruto only lived in a rundown apartment with no heating, broken windows and no lights. He only had thin blankets that barely kept him warn throughout winter.
When carollers come by door to door, they sing by the front door for figgy pudding or a cup full of cheer. Naruto did it one, but was only given a bucket of ice water thrown at him and a door to the face.
When everyone wakes up on Christmas day, they rush down to the tree to find presents underneath, they rip open the gifts to receive what they desire, but Naruto hardly receive any gifts, only 2 from anonymous people, one in black and purple wrapping and the other in gold and white. But that isn't enough to thaw the cold thoughts of this holiday for he had no one to share in the day.
And finally, the feast, with the main roasted turkey or goose, but Naruto was lucky that Ichiraku was kind enough to open on that day, so he can have some Ramen.
Yep, Naruto hated Christmas with all his might, and being the new Overlord didn't help him wonders or help forget the terrible childhood in that specific day. Every carol is like a dreaded white noise ringing in his ear, the colourful lights would blind his eyes, the decorations would make him puke. And the festive food doesn't look so appetizing to eat.
"It's one day, one day and it'll be over" said Naruto said to himself, he must tolerate every Christmas in his entire life. The Singing, the merriment, even the…goody goody benevolence that radiates from the holiday.
But then, as he exits the forests, he realises that he wandered into the realm of the Dark Lord, a blackened and barren land that even turns the snow black. The Uruks, Drows and Ologs are even enjoying themselves despite that tomorrow would hold. Naruto is confused at why would evil creatures under the Dark Lord's rule would be merry. He shrugs and continues his walk, the foul denizens of Yami noticed Naruto and greet him with "Merry Christmas" but Naruto merely grumbled in a response and walked away.
It's disgusting to see even the dark creatures would celebrate this holiday, which is known to be a joyful and happy time. He scowls at this and hastens his pace, but then he bumped into someone and he nearly collapses until he steadily catches his footing.
He turns to react angrily at who dares to bump him until he realizes who bumped to.
"Hinata-chan" said Naruto as he saw his fiancée Hinata Hyuuga, wearing a beautiful lavender winter coat with white furred colour to keep warm and holding a few wrapped presents, some were toppled onto the soft blackened snow. "Oh, forgive me."
"No, please…no need" said Hinata reassuring her beloved while the Drow maid caught to the princess and helped her pick up the gifts. "I was just doing some last-minute shopping for tomorrow, I can't wait for Christmas"
"Yeah, I'll be more glad when it's over" said Naruto not that excited about it.
Hinata noticed Naruto's disheartened expression and hesitant, but she gathered all of her courage and presents him a sealed scroll.
"N-Naruto-kun, i-if you don't have anything planned. K-Kushina and I would like to invite you over for Christmas, t-that is if you want to, of course." Said Hinata nervously, deep down she wanted to have Naruto over for Christmas but when she noticed his expression when Christmas was mentioned, she is worried that he would not be happy and enjoying himself throughout the holidays.
Naruto was shocked at this, sure Hinata would like to spend some time with him due to them being betrothed and all, but to spend Christas with her is something else. He is hesitant to reach out for the invitation scroll and slowly takes it. He gulps as he is more hesitant to speak out to Hinata.
"I…I'll be there" said Naruto before walking off, his mind is debating, one side is telling that he did the right thing because Hinata will be happy, but the other side is saying that he's an idiot. He growls at these subconscious throughts and needs to find a way to forget about it. He accepted the invite and he's going, end of story.
But then another thought came to mind.
"What am I going to give Hinata for Christmas?" said Naruto with realization and panic.
It'd be rude not to give his betrothed a gift just after receiving an invite from her. He is an Overlord, the word "Lord" is in the title and he must act like one.
"Damn it, the day I despise, and I have to get involved" said Naruto holding his head with annoyance. "But what do I give her, I don't know much about Hinata-chan. I never have a proper chance to know of her likes and dislikes, hell I never even had a proper date with her. Come on, Naruto think. Who else do know about Hianta…Ah, of course."
Naruto rushes as fast as he can through the blackened snow and enter through the frozen forest, there a waypoint gate is posted for him to return back to Nethertower…but that's just one stop as he is going to see someone who knows about Hinata…even back when they were younger.
Neji Hyuuga
Fort Maelstrom
Things are rather festive in the Fort, a giant tree is posted in the centre of the fort courtyard, the Spawns are preparing for the big day tomorrow while the true denizens are busy merrymaking with singing, games and
Shikamaru and Ino are cuddling by an open fire in their shared home, wrapped in a warm blanket and simply snoozing in their present warmth, over their time in this fort the 2 are becoming girlfriend and boyfriend, but not yet ready for the next step due to their age.
Shino is busy hibernating due to his mutated insectoid physiology shutting down from the cold, also he doesn't really celebrate Christmas that much.
Kiba is out in the forest, running around in his lupine form with Rahzar, Jyabra and Akamaru, they all howl under the full moon while their paw press deep in purple snow.
Choji is at the kitchens cooking for the Christmas feast, which is a joyous and busy time for the bulky boy. But as an Akimichi, cooking is their specialty as they need to make high calorie meals for them to consume in order for chakra to be replenished. Choji is slowly roasting a nice fat Outland Turkey under a fire, rotating on a spit. Chopping up vegetables and stirring up the gravy and stuffing, he is quite busy in the kitchen and has quite more to do before tomorrow.
Tenten is also busy, forging weapons and armour in the blacksmiths. Christmas Eve is no excuse for her to slack off in the Fort, even though Shao Kahn is gone, and Naruto practically owns this dark nation now while putting Mileena on the throne as his representative.
Rock Lee is boasting loudly and merrily high up in the rooftops, jogging on the spot while singing various Christmas songs. Lee is very enegetic for tomorrow, can't wait and too excited to even calm down or go to sleep, Neji is trying to get his friend off the roofs as the snow can make it slippery and hazardous to stand on, even for ninjas.
"Lee, come down here now!" said Neji, howvering in midair with his raven wings spread out and keeping him airborne. "I know you're excited for Christmas, but you'll end up breaking your neck or other body part if you fall off."
"How can I now be so excited for the following day!" said Lee jumping high up and lands with a headstand, singlehandedly. "The time to be merry and gay, the feasting, the singing, the presents, Oh Kami the Presents!"
"Which you'll not get if you don't get down and do as you're told" said Neji crossing his arms. "You want me to get Tenten again?"
This causes Lee to panic and nearly slip off.
"Please don't, I'll be good" Lee begs to Neji
Neji rolled his eyes at his energetic friend and at his fear of Tenten, Tenten can he stern but fair at Lee nowadays but when he does something stupid like going up the roof whilst it's snowing, then you best behave or face her wrath. As Neji descends down to the ground he tucks his wings in and lands softly on the snowy earth. Lee follows through, climbing down carefully as the ice and snow does cause surfaces and walls to become slippery.
Suddenly the Fort gate opens, catching Lee and Neji's attention as Naruto enters in.
"Naruto" said Neji as he approaches the Overlord. "I wasn't expecting you to visit us, especially when it's around this time of year. Shikamaru is inside asleep, I'll just go get him for you."
"Actually I came see you, Neji" said Naruto
"Oh?" said Neji "And what can I do for you?"
"It's about Hinata-chan" said Naruto
"Hinata-sama, is she alright!" said Neji with concern
"Hai, she's alright" said Naruto reassuring the Hyuuga "It's just that…I need to find her a present for Christmas."
"But I thought you hated Christmas" said Neji tilting his head in confusion.
"I do, but Hinata and Ka…ahem, the Dark Lord of Yami has invited me to theirs for Christmas and it's be rude to refuse an invitation. Especially when it's personally sent by your fiancée." Said Naruto blushing at the end. "But I don't know what to give her for Christmas."
"Well I think having you along would be a nice gift" said Neji smiling as Hinata is happy that her little crush enhanced into love. The Love for Naruto.
"Please Neji, I'm serious" exclaimed Naruto, making Neji jump in fright. "There must be something"
"Well…she does like cinnamon buns" said Neji "and she her hobbies are flower pressing"
"And?" said Naruto needing to know more, more ideas on what to give Hinata on his official first Christmas with his fiancée.
"That's it, that's all I know…Hiashi doesn't really allow the Side Branch to mingle with the Main Branch" said Neji frowning at the mention of Hiashi, even saying his name puts a foul taste in his mouth.
"And she hates that, too right?" said Naruto
"Oh, you have no idea" said Neji "Being taken to Yami as the Dark Lord's "prisoner" is more than a blessing than a cruel fate worse than death. I wouldn't be surprised if she wanted him death."
"THAT'S IT!" exclaimed Naruto, making Neji jump again.
"Please stop that!" Neji reacting to Naruto unpredictable outbursts.
"Sorry" said Naruto bluntly "I think I know what to get Hinata-chan for Christmas, how about you help me. It'll also be your present from me, since we are practically family now"
"What are planning" said Neji, not liking what Naruto is thinking
"Well…you might not like it, and to be perfectly honest…neither do I" said Naruto rubbing his head awkwardly
Later
"You're right, I don't like this" said Neji as he and Naruto quietly breached the walls of Konoha. "This is suicide, returning to the village that caused us misery in our childhood just because you want to give Hinata-sama a present, which you didn't tell me what you are planning to give her."
"Trust me, once we arrive at our destination you'll understand" said Naruto as he hid in the darkness of the alleyways.
Konoha is quiet at night, but doesn't mean outside is void of anyone whatsoever. Jonins and ANBU are out on patrol as the night can be a vulnerable time when everyone is asleep. But Naruto is wise to the dangers of Konoha at night, hell he could write a book about surviving the village at night.
"Hmm, security is rather thin tonight" said Naruto suspiciously "but we need to stay alert at all times"
"Where are we going anyway?" said Neji
"You'll see" said Naruto as he and Neji carefully navigate through the streets and alleyways without getting caught by the ANBU and Jonin on patrol. "Just stay in the shadows, keep your Chakra flow as low as possible and keep quiet."
"Hai" said Neji, not deciding to judge Naruto's streets smarts.
Hyuuga Compound
"Are you fucking kidding me?" whispered Neji angrily at Naruto "Here of all places!"
"It's exactly what I needed to be to get Hinata-chan her present" said Naruto
"And pray tell me what are you going to give her?" said Neji
Naruto pulls out his sword and frowns in a murderous impression.
"His head" said Naruto until he earned a smack on the head.
"You baka, Hiashi is part of the Konoha Shinobi Council" said Neji "You'll cause a outroar in the entire village"
"So, what if I am" said Naruto "Konoha is my enemy.
Neji held the bridge of his nose and groaned at this madness but suddenly he heard crying from inside the compound and activates his Byakugan. As he searches for the sound of the crying, he sees a crying bundle in a cot. Neji knows who that is, and this gave him an idea.
"Naruto, I think I know what to give Hinata-sama instead of Hiashi's head" said Neji smiling evilly "Plus it will hurt the bastard bad."
"What is it?" said Naruto
"Follow me" said Neji as he prepares to infiltrate the compound. "The compound is almost empty, only side branches on patrol…no problem whatsoever."
"And Hiashi?" said Naruto
"Not in either, might be a late council meeting or something" said Neji
"Ookay, I'm confused" said Naruto
"You'll see" said Neji smirking
Naruto groaned as Neji got him back, but he ignored it for now and follows the Hyuuga in the compound.
Hyuuga nursery
Naruto and Neji broke in the compound and quietly heading towards a room, nursey with baby equipment and toys. Even sound cancelling seals on the walls to block background noise, it is a well organised nursery, but for who is the question.
"A baby?" said Naruto "You want me to give Hinata-chan a baby? Look, I can do that already, but she and I decided to wait for a little while befor having children. Taking children is no execption."
"It's not like that, trust me" said Neji as he approaches the cot. "This baby is special, she's Hinata-sama's sister"
Neji picks up the bundle from the cot and shows Naruto the sleeping baby girl.
"This is Hanabi" said Neji "By the time she learned to stand, she'll be the new heir of the Hyuuga Clan due to Hinata-sama's absence in the clan."
"So, what are we going to do to her?" said Naruto
"correction, what are YOU going to do to her" said Neji as he gives the Overlord the baby. "I'm only making a suggestion. You'll make the choice. Kill her, give her to Hinata-sama, I don't care as long as it hurts the bastard for robbing me of my father and placing that damn seal on me, which is thankfully off me."
"Kill a baby?" said Naruto raising his brow at Neji's suggestion of infanticide "Geez, when did you get so dark, Neji?"
"The moment you took me here, in this forsaken place" said Neji "So, are you gonna kill her or what?"
Naruto is rather hesitant of the idea, sure he killed many during his trials as Overlord, but killing a baby?
"No, it'll be up to Hinata-chan" said Naruto "let's go"
"Good, I can't stand this place" said Neji
"But first, let's fuck him up a bit" said Naruto smirking evilly as he raised his gauntlet and summoned a few Reds in the nursery. "Burn the room, start with the cot"
"Yes, Master" said the Reds as fireballs appear in their hands.
Naruto and Neji leave through the window with Hanabi in the Overlord clutches, the Reds starts setting he nursery on fire by starting with the cot. Naruto thought of a twisted idea of Hiashi thinking his baby daughter spontaneously combusted in a freak fire happening in the nursery, leaving nothing but ashes. No body to bury, it's cruel but perfect for kidnapping a baby without anyone searching for them.
As the flames spreads in the compound, the Overlord and his ally use this to leave Konoha quickly while all the attention is focused on the fire. And the snowfall is starting to get thick, which obscure any view of anyone leaving.
Outside of Konoha
Naruto and Neji leap onto the trees to hasten their pace away from Konoha while they have Hanabi in their clutches. The sleeping baby is oblivious of the situation as she is still asleep in Naruto's arms, the Overlord laughs with excitement as he caused some chaos within Konoha and got away with it. Even Neji is laughing as the thought of Hiashi mourning for Hanabi's death is hilarious, sweet payback for the death of his father.
"I felt to liberated from that" said Neji "Whatever you were planning to give me for Christmas, I think that as the best gift you've given me. Some payback on Hiashi by kidnapping Hanabi and faking her death."
"Not what I was planning, but at least it worked well in the end" said Naruto while looking at the sleeping Hanabi. "Still, I hope I know what I'm doing"
"I'm sure you'll be fine by giving Hanabi to Hinata-sama, Naruto" said Neji "She could use a fellow Hyuuga around, and I need to stay at the fort to defend Outland"
"Hai" said Naruto as he continues jumping tree to tree. "We all have our duties, Me as Overlord, you as a soldier of Fort Maelstrom, and Hinata as Princess of Yami and future queen to me. But what of Hanabi?"
"What is up to Hinata-sama" said Neji "She is her gift from you"
Yami
The nights are getting darker, especially around Yami. Hinata is in bed at her sleeping quarters but too nervous to sleep, she is nervous about Naruto arriving here for Christmas and the thought of him not enjoying himself is killing her.
Oh, I hope Naruto-kun comes, and I hope he's alright spending Christmas with me is fine. Thought Hinata
KNOCK
KNOCK
"Hinata-sama, are you up?"
"Hai, Artorias-san" said Hinata while the door opens to reveal Yami's captain of the Guard, Knight Artorias in his armour. "Is something the matter?"
"Just to inform you that your Present to give to the Overlord has ready, shall I send it to you?" said Artorias
"Iie, leave it as it is for now, I'll give it to him when he gets here" said Hinata
"Of course," said Artorias bowing to Hinata before leaving.
Hinata is getting more nervous until she felt something touch her hand, she looks down to see Kitana holding her hand. Kitana is with still currently in training by Hinata to be part of Naruto's harem as a Harem sister. Already ranks as a Sex Slave, Kitana wanted to feel like she's a princess and asked Hinata if she can be high up to feel royal again. And since it's coming around Christmas, Hinata agrees to train Kitana to become a Harem Sister.
"Sorry, did I wake you?" said Hinata to Kitana
"Are you worried about Naruto-sama?" said Kitana
"A little" said Hinata
"I'm sure he'll enjoy the visit while you're here beside him" said Kitana "He likes you"
"And I like him" said Hinata "But I don't want to make him unhappy"
"If he is, at last you know what makes him unhappy and make sure it'll never happen again" said Kitana as she wraps her arms around Hinata in a cuddle. "It's getting late, we should get some sleep and prepare for tomorrow"
"Hai" said Hinata as she returns to sleep, cuddling in her sex slave's arms. "And in time, you'll be part of our Harem, Kitana-chan"
