Naruto: Overlord Arisen
Chapter 1: The New Overlord
Demonick: Hey guys I'm back and with my new story Naruto: Overlord Arisen. First I have to give a shout out to Lord Farsight and his story born of wickedness as well as 26 Lord-Pain's NU: Dark Lord Plus for the inspiration from this story. Yes there will be some parts in my story that will be from theres but I will not reveal what they are. Also Here with me as always is Phenix.
Phenix: Hey guys what's up.
Demonick: Also with me are some of the minions mainly Doc, Giblet, and Gnarl, however there will be others popping up also.
Gnarl: Master Don't you believe that it's time to begin the story already you don't want to make the viewers upset by delaying it.
Doc: I have to agree with Gnarl on this Master we really should start the story.
Giblet: Master, Master, Master! *jumps onto demonick*
Demonick: *backhands Giblet away* I guess you're right Gnarl. But next time do NOT question my decisions now lets get on with the show!
Naruto dashed through the forest at a breakneck pace, jumping from tree branch to tree branch with practiced ease, the large scroll on his back not deterring him whatsoever.
"Damn it! I hope Iruka-sensei is ok, but I have to get the scroll back to the old man first." Naruto mumbled to himself.
You see, Naruto, even though most would disagree, is actually a rather smart individual. His problem lied with the fact that while he knew all the history and what not of the village, he just found it all so boring that he couldn't stay awake! Now though he was pissed at himself. Just that day he had failed the academy, but Mizuki had told him of a makeup test that he could take so that he could become a genin for the village. Naruto had been so distraught at the time that he immediately latched onto Mizuki's words not once thinking them over until he had already procured the scroll from the Hokage's tower. By this point he had already deducted that it was a trap meant for him from the beginning so he prepared himself for the upcoming confrontation. He had been ready for the traitor when Iruka showed up completely destroying his plan and ending him in the current cluster fuck that he was in.
His musings were soon cut off though as he dodged to the side, avoiding several shuriken that would have embedded themselves in his back.
"Give up Kyuubi brat!" Mizuki said as he appeared in the clearing. "There's no way that you can beat me!"
"Fuck you!" Naruto rebuked the white haired chunin.
Both parties were preparing to fight when a small brown impish creature ran out of the forests. The creature gazed at Naruto for several seconds before elatedly screaming out, "Master," and running to the startled blonde. Soon the open field they were standing in was filled several more of the hooping creatures as they shouted, "Master Master," when an old gray creature stumbled out after them. Said gray creature took stock of the situation before speaking.
"Enough!" It roared. "Stop pestering the master you stupid browns! Can't you tell he is confused!" The creature shuffled over to the blonde before once again speaking. "Master it is good to finally see, we have been searching for you for a long time."
Naruto was stunned from the sudden turn of events before finally recovering enough to reply. "Wait, what are you talking about. My name is naruto Uzumaki and I am nobodys master. Also who and what are you?"
The creature blinked for a second before speaking in a tone that sounded like he had just remembered something after forgetting it a long time ago. "O' I'm sorry master, my name is Gnarl and I am the minion master, and these creatures surrounding us are known as minions. We are the property of the Overlord, hailed from the Uzumaki lineage, and you being the next Uzumaki in line, are the new Overlord." Gnarl spoke.
The entire time they ignored the gaping Mizuki, who had just recovered from his shock, in favor of their current conversation.
"The hell did you do you fucking demon?!" Mizuki yelled.
Gnarl, hearing Mizuki's sentence, became enraged at the peasant's audacity to question the Overlord, someone vastly more superior to him. "How dare you insult the Overlord you useless peasant! You should be grovelling at his feet for forgiveness for this slight, hoping to all the gods in existence that he decides to be merciful to you!"
Mizuki laughed at the aged minions words before finally speaking back up. "Me. Grovel at his feet? Preposterous! He is a demon who deserves to be killed like one!" Mizuki then unstrapped and unfurled the remaining fuma-shuriken from his back before spinning it. "Now die!" He said as he launched the spinning projectile.
Naruto ducked beneath the weapon before jumping back and readying himself to assault his ex-sensei, but was stopped by Gnarl.
"Here master, take this." Gnarl spoke as he handed Naruto a spiked gauntlet with a gem in the center of the palm. "Equip this gauntlet Sire and command the browns to attack him by sweeping your hand towards him. No one opposes the will of the Overlord!"
Naruto slid the gauntlet onto his right arm as instructed, causing the gem in the palm to glow a faint burnt orange. He then swept his hand forward causing the browns to sweep towards Mizuki who was caught off guard by the sudden surge of brown minions. Sooner than he could react though the minions had surrounded him and began to jump on the stunned chunin, dragging him to the ground where they began to kick, bite, punch, slash, bludgeon him to within an inch of his life. It was also during this time frame that Iruka managed to catch up to Naruto and Mizuki only to be caught by surprise at the sight before him. Naruto saw Iruka and commanded the browns to stop their beating and drag the unconscious and barely living chunin over to where Iruka was standing, mouth agape.
"So Iruka-sensei how did I do?" Naruto questioned.
Iruka snapped out of his delirium at the sound of Naruto's voice and answered the blondes question after asking for him to repeat what he said.
"After everything that's happened tonight... I would say you pass with flying colors Naruto, Congratulations. Make sure you report for team placements tomorrow morning at the academy." Iruka replied with a small smile.
"Thanks Iruka-sensei and I will, don't worry."
"Actually Sire that might not be possible." Gnarl voiced from behind the blonde.
Naruto and Iruka turned to the gray minion before Naruto spoke. "And why is that Gnarl?"
"Because Sire, we have nowhere that we can rebuild the tower after it was destroyed by the light races and...and herrrrrr." Gnarl said as he added a growl at the word her.
Naruto was caught off guard by that tidbit of information but continued with his questions none the less.
"What do you mean by light races and who is her?"
"...The light races are the races that claim to be more civilized than all the others. They consist of the Elves, Dwarves, Humans, Halflings, and Faeries. And as for your other question well…...for that you need a more in depth history of the Overlord dynasty. Also master it's very faint but I feel 3 more chakra signatures similar to yours, I believe they are your relatives. We should check it out soon Sire."
Naruto stood in shock at hearing that he may have some living relatives; however, he broke out of his shock to address the situation at hand. "I agree Gnarl, but can we atleast go and talk to the old man first?"
Gnarl contemplated his masters words for several minutes before finally coming to a decision.
"I...guess that is ok Sire, but afterwards we sould check out the first and closest of the 3 chakra sources. Once we have finished those goals we need to meet up with Doc and Giblet and start searching for the tower heart.
"Wait, who's Doc and Giblet?"
"I'll tell you later Sire, let's go speak to the old man first like you asked."
Naruto accepted Gnarl' answer and began walking back to the Hokage tower with his army of browns, carrying the still unconscious Mizuki, Gnarl, and Iruka in tow. As they re-entered the village Iruka spoke up.
"Naruto what are these things and why are they following you?" He questioned
"How dare you speak to the Overlord so casually. You will either address him as master or Sire, otherwise you will pay the consequences!" Gnarl said in outrage at Iruka''s casualty with Naruto.
"It's fine Gnarl, he is allowed to address my casually like that. And as for your question Iruka-sensei, these things, as you called them, are known as minions and they belong to the Uzumaki dynasty of Overlords and I, Naruto Uzumaki, am the next in line to become Overlord." Naruto said as they entered the Hokage tower and began ascending the stairs, the browns lifting Mizuki's body even higher in the air to carry him up the stairs with them, no one noticed the pearl white eyes that had been following them since they entered the forest, nor the fact that the owner of the eyes darted up the stairs after them and hir around the corner of the second to last step as to not be noticed.
Naruto knocked on the Hokage's office door and received an audible "enter" from the other side. He next opened the door and shifted inside, none noticing the little child that dashed up to the closing door.
"Hey old man, I brought your scroll back and I also brought a traitor with us too." Naruto vocalised, pointing down to Mizuki in the process.
"Thank kami! Naruto-kun i'm glad to see that you are doing fine, but what are those things that followed you and Iruka-kun into my office."
Gnarl stepped forward, in front of Naruto, at this point and began speaking. "We," Gnarl said pointing to himself and the browns, "are the minions and we belong to the Uzumaki dynasty of Overlords, originally established here in the elemental nations by the Black Baron of the house Archon."
This is how the meeting progressed with the Hokage asking questions and the other party answering as needed before the newest topic of conversation arose.
"Old man," Naruto spoke gaining everyone's attention, including the white eyed spy standing right outside the doors, "according to Gnarl we are going to have to leave the elemental nations because of the so called light races and her." Gnarl growled at the mention of her along with the rest of the browns.
"And why would that be Gnarl? And please explain what you mean by light races and her." The hokage asked Gnarl.
"Let's start with the light races then." Gnarl began. "The light races are the races the live above ground, with the exception of one of the races, and are the self proclaimed most civilized of all the other races. They consist of the Dwarves, the one race that lives underground that is considered light, Elves, Humans, Halflings, and Faeries. Next is herrrr….To understand this bit I need to give you some basic history about the previous Overlords. As I said earlier the Overlords were started by the Black Baron who was part of the house Archon. What i didn't mention was that the Black Baron is not originally from the elemental nations, he was actually from another country to the west known as Albion. Also when he died the title of Overlord went to the youngest of his Nephews, William Archon Black, who from his line all other Overlords and ladies are descended. But then we had her. She was the 10th Overlady, Jennifer Arjechon. She was made temporary Overlady when the Overlord before her mysteriously disappeared. Eventually though the old Overlord returned and she lost her position. Now she hunts down all the Overlords and Overladies so that she may reclaim the title of Overlord by exterminating the true bloodline of the Overlord. To accomplish this though she had to fight and defeat your ancestor, the Overlord from Nordberg. In the aftermath of the battle as he faded from this plane of existence and began entering the next he cast a powerful spell that locked her away in the Nether tower. However over time the spell has faded and now she is free to leave the Nether tower as she pleases. Sire, if she catches you she will kill you without any remorse. My recommendation then is for the Hokage here to create a false story saying how the traitor Mizuki killed you before escaping with the scroll while in actuality we will return the scroll to him, bring Mizuki with us and turn him to our side, and leave the village to enter the Dark Sanctuary and begin building another Dark Alliance so that our forces may grow.
As the discussion inside the hokage's office continued, the white eyed spy could no longer take the suspense and hearing that her crush may be leaving the village for good was too much for her to bear, so she barged into the room to the shock of all those inside.
"No!" She yelled before bowling into Naruto's stomach and bawling her eyes out. "Please Naruto-kun don't go, and if you do please take me with you!"
Naruto was stunned by the sudden turn of events and at the fact that one of his classmates, Hinata Hyuuga, was crying into his chest, but he was able to return to his senses before Gnarl could speak. "Woah What's wrong Hinata-chan and how did you know I was here in the first place?"
Hinata became somewhat sheepish at his question but replied none the less. "Ano…...well I saw you steal the scroll earlier and wanted to make sure you were ok." Hinata's body tensed as she prepared to answer his other question. "As for your other question I…I don't like my family. they constantly berate and beat me in the excuse of training and I...I..I feel drawn to you Naruto-kun!" hinata rushed the last part, her face turning several different shades of red as she did.
Gnarl voiced his opinion before anyone else had a chance to comment. "I'm not surprised that you feel drawn to him little one, I can feel your latent raw demonic energy drawing towards his from where I stand currently."
Gnarl's statement caught everyone by surprise and prompted a question from Sarutobi.
"What do you mean Gnarl? Young Hinata-chan here is 100% human, no traces of demonic chakra at all." Hiruzen stated.
"No, she isn't. She's part human, in reality she is a tiefling, a succubus tiefling to be exact…Sire I recommend we bring her with us as she will be of great help later on as tieflings can become much more powerful than their sires, besides later on you will need to have children to continue the bloodline of the Overlord, and from what I can see she is quite enamored with you already."
Naruto and Hinata blushed crimson at hearing Gnarl's statement about children but Naruto listened to his advice and pondered it before speaking to Hinata.
"Are you sure Hinata-chan? Are you sure you wish to come me even knowing that we will more than likely be putting our lives in peril on numerous occasions, because if you accept there is no going back."
Hinata thought about Naruto's question for several moments before coming to her decision. "Yes Naruto-kun I'm sure I want to come with you. I want to help you in any way that i can plus I need to do this so that I may become stronger and this is the best way to do so." Hinata finished with conviction.
"Verywell." Naruto began. "So it is said, so shall it be. Ut dicitur, sic erit. Naruto said surprising everyone at his sudden shift in dialect, almost as if it was second nature to him. But the most surprising turn was when Hinata mirrored his actions to the letter.
"So it is said, so shall it be. Ut dicitur, sic erit." She said before they both took kunai from their pouches and slashed their hands, letting the blood pool in their palms before shaking hands, sealing the oath they had just pledged to one another.
"What...what in the world was that?" The Hokage asked in shock having never witnessed an event such as this.
That was a blood oath, an old form of magic if there ever were any. What it does is bond two creatures of magical origin by having them say a phrase in their common tongue then have them repeat it in sylvan, or as your people know it, Elven. After repeating the phrase they both slash their hands and let the blood pool in their palms then shake each others hand finishing the oath, and look at their hands, they are fully healed indicating that the oath has been made and acknowledged." Gnarl said.
"Ok i understand that, but how did Naruto enter the contract then, regardless of what you told us earlier about his bloodline they were all still human so how could he enter let alone create a blood oath with someone else since he isn't a being of magical origin?" Hiruzen pondered out loud. "Ahh I see you caught that tidbit of information, you are quite shrewd human, but you see I didn't explain his entire bloodline, only parts of it. He is indeed a being of magical origin, one of the strongest of them actually, it just hasn't begun to manifest itself yet, but allow me to say that when it does the world will tremble at his voice and crumble at his call. But that is neither here nor there, we need to leave and we need to do so now while we have the perfect opportunity so will you help us or not?" Gnarl questioned of the aged leader of Konoha.
Hiruzen pondered Gnarl's question for several minutes to review the pro's and con's of both decisions before finally coming to a conclusion. "Yes i will help you so Iruka I'm sorry but we will have to alter your memories of this event, as for the rest of you get out of here at once, you were never here."
Naruto and Hinata nodded their heads before saying goodbye to Iruka and leaving the room, Gnarl and the browns, still carrying Mizuki, following behind. As soon as the group left the building Gnarl began speaking. "Master now that we have free reign to leave when we need to and the backing of both a major political and military power we can move onto our next objective and I believe the little succubus here can help us."
"Gnarl!" Snapped Naruto. "You will address her as Hinata or Miss Hyuuga unless I tell you otherwise, understood!"" Naruto finished his eyes glowing a deep amethyst blue slowly turning black. Gnarl nodded his head yes, pleased on the inside that it seemed that his Masters bloodline was already decided to continue. "But yes I do agree with you that Hinata-chan will be of great help for this little quest; however, I want you to lead us in the correct direction until you believe she can direct us with her byakugan."
Gnarl nodded his head and began walking followed by the browns, Naruto, and a now confused Hinata.
"Naruto-kun," began Hinata, "while i appreciate you standing up for me like that, what was he talking about?" She implored.
Naruto continued walking for several moments before finally speaking up. "Hinata-chan, our current objective is one of great personal importance to me. According to Gnarl there are 3 people within the Elemental Nations that have chakra signatures very similar to mine indicating that there is a distinctly high possibility that they are my relatives. One of which is somewhere here in Konoha…...Hinata once we get close enough could you please use your byakugan to direct us the chakra source." Naruto said, traces of hope and grief evident in his voice.
"Yes Naruto-kun I will, especially if it will get you back some of your family." Hinata whispered quietly in his ear.
Naruto smiled very slightly before whispering into her ear just as quietly. "Thank-you Hinata-chan, this means a so much to me."
"Sire we are very close to the chakra signature. I believe that Mistress Hinata should be able to direct us closer to said signature." Gnarl spoke from the front of the group.
Naruto and hinata blinked before looking around the area. During their conversation they had walked out of the village and into the surrounding forests to arrive in a small clearing. Currently they stood in the center of the clearing a rusted and mottled iron hatch embedded into the ground beneath them.
Hinata regained her wits and swiftly activated her byakugan. Immediately her vision was filled with a large chakra source that was almost directly beneath them.
"Ok I see it, I believe that it's about 75 meters beneath us. We need to be careful though there are several other chakra sources in the building so be prepared for a fight."
"Ok then, thanks Hinata-chan," Naruto stood up and walked a little to the side of the hatch, "our plan of attack will be to move throughout the base, causing as little disturbance as possible, and to reach our target. Hinata will take point since she had her Byakugan and will be able to alert us of anyone that tries to attack us, Gnarl and I will keep in step behind her to form a triangle while the browns will form a circle around us as an initial defense force. We'll keep some browns up top to watch the hatch and Mizuki of course. Any questions?" Naruto asked.
Nobody questioned Naruto's plan as it sounded fairly logical and straightforward and cause the least amount of trouble for them overall.
"Ok everyone let's get started." Naruto walked back over to the hatch before opening it and jumping down into the darkness below. Hinata, Gnarl, and the browns followed soon after before taking the formation that Naruto had described and traveling down the dimly lit corridor with Hinata at the lead. The group stealthily traveled throughout the base without any troubles until they finally arrived at a steel door 20 minutes later.
"Naruto-kun the chakra signature that we are searching for is directly behind that door; however, there is another chakra signature in the room with them, probably to keep an eye on whoever is behind the door in the first place." Hinata whispered to the blonde.
Naruto nodded his head before signaling for Hinata to get behind him. After Hinata took her new position he walked up to the door and began to open it slowly so as to not alert the person on the other side. As the door opened Naruto took immediate notice of one fact, and that was that there was now a masked ninja, tanto drawn, charging straight at the door. Naruto knew he only had several seconds at the most to react so he quickly and forcefully opened the door before rolling under the masked ninjas guard, and legs, and popping up behind only to give the ninja a swift kick to the back, knocking him off guard. Naruto then brought up his right arm and swept it towards the reeling ninja. The browns swept towards the ninja at their master's command and jumped onto him causing him to stumble around even more before he finally reached Hinata. Hinata took the chance provided for her and took her family's jyuuken stance before dashing forward and striking him several times with her chakra empowered fingers, and as luck would have it, or maybe not, she coincidentally struck the ninja in his head knocking him unconscious.
Naruto stepped forwards and took the downed ninja's tanto for himself, also letting hinata and the browns take any weapons they might need, and sheathed it, placing it on his back for easier access. Knowing that the coast was clear for now Naruto still decided not to take any chances and posted several browns at the door as and advanced warning system. Now with the chance to do so, Naruto walked up to the medical table the was situated in the middle of the room with which a red-headed woman lay. The woman of course as already stated had red hair that looked to reach her mid-back, she also had a hourglass frame that most women would kill for. Naruto also took notice of the several machines that the woman was hooked up to, he presumed they were to keep her both alive and sedated.
"Sire," Gnarl started, "This lady right here was the previous Overlady before you, even though she never officially took the title, Uzumaki Kushina, your mother. However Sire it looks like these machines are keeping her alive so I would not recommend moving her as we have no way to keep her alive if that is indeed true."
Naruto was conflicted by this point, here was, apparently, the woman that gave birth to him lying on a medical table with several machines hooked up to her. On one hand Naruto wanted to rip all of them off of her and try to wake her so that he could finally talk to the person that gave him life, while on the other hand if indeed what Gnarl said was true he didn't want to risk the chance of her dying if he did rip all of the machines off her. Naruto just stood there for several minutes staring at his birth mother in silence before his mind finally came to an appropriate decision, at least in his mind.
"Gnarl I want you to memorize this location like the back of your hand, because once we have all of the equipment needed to maintain her I want you and some of the minions to come back and retrieve her at once…...Now let's get out of here we don't need any more guards finding out that we were here, and bring that guy over there with us, we might have some use for him later on especially as a spy. Besides we still need to find the tower heart correct Gnarl."
"Yes indeed we do Sire and might I say excellent idea with bringing the ninja that Mistress Hinata knocked out with us as i could not agree more that he would make an excellent spy." Gnarl spoke.
"Yes you may Gnarl now let's go." Naruto proceeded to do a 180 before walking towards the door before stopping. "Don't worry kaa-chan, we'll bring you back to us, that's a promise on my title as the new Overlord." It was with these final words that Naruto walked through the door and back to the entrance of the base with Gnarl, Hinata, and the browns along with their new package following behind him, none knowing that Naruto's statement would soon be carried out.
As the group exited the base and closed the hatch Gnarl took the lead before speaking up to Naruto. "Master now that we have finished all of our objectives it's time that we go and meet up with Doc and Giblet. That way we can start our search for the tower heart and I can begin giving you and Mistress Hinata the lessons you will need to survive in the Dark Sanctuary." Gnarl, at this point, had already begun walking further into the forest and was being followed by everyone.
Naruto and Hinata followed behind the aged minion master in silence before Naruto remembered the promise that Gnarl had made to him earlier.
"Gnarl. Earlier you promised that you would tell me who Doc and Giblet were when we had the time. Well now we have the time and also can you tell us what the tower objects are and other things such as what they do." Naruto asked in an inquisitive tone.
"Ah yes, I did didn't I." Gnarl mused to himself. "Ok then Sire, as you wish. But first let's start with some general information on the minions so that you have a better understanding of what I tell you about Doc and Giblet."
Naruto simply nodded his head in agreement.
"Ok then Sire the first thing you should know is that there are 5 different primary minion types along with several other secondary minion types, which I will tell you about later as we find their hive's. The five primary minion colors are the browns, reds, greens, blues, and grays. Now for the browns they are the bulk of your minion army as they do the most menial tasks for you. They gather resources and are typically the ones that you want gathering tower objects. That is until we can get some of the dark races to side with us like the Goblins or the Orcs. However Sire you should also note that once you give a brown a task that requires a long amount of time to complete they are only good for that one task because of their menial at best brain power. Now we have the Reds. The Reds are the ranged units of the mions species since they can conjure and throw fireballs over varying distances, depending on the conditions of the area. they can also kill fires that are burning on objects that block your way and can cause those objects to catch back on fire so as to block your enemies from catching you if you are trying to escape from them for whatever reason. You should also take note of the fact that they can cause objects to explode if they have that capability. Next we have the Greens. the Greens are the assassins of the minion forces. they typically sneak around an area and once someone passes them they jump on their backs and inflict critical damage so that your other forces can finish them off, assuming the greens just don't outright kill them from the beginning, also they are naturally very smelly because of a poison that their bodies naturally secrete. It should also be noted that if the Greens stand in one area long enough Sire they will become all but invisible and virtually impossible to detect except by the very best of sensors. Then we have the Blues. The Blues are the healers among the minions. they heal any and all injured minions when they have the chance and they can also raise the recently deceased minions from the grave so that they can continue to serve you, they are also the only minions that are capable of swimming among the primary minions. Finally we have the Grays, which I am a part of. Every gray in minion society has a different job that they complete since we are all vastly more intelligent than the other minions. For example I am the overall Minion Master meaning that any commands that I give the minions they will follow as long as they don't superceed your's or any of your Mistress's orders. Every group of minions also has a hive and 5 primary minions that make up their hives leaders. The leader of the Browns is Giblet, leader of the Reds is Felix, the leader of the Greens is snake, and the leader of the Blues is named Blue, I, as you can guess, am the leader of the Grays. I should also point out that the Grays are the only minion group without any primaries only a leader. Now let's address Doc and Giblet. Doc, as you can guess, is a doctor. But he is not just any doctor Sire, he is yours and your Mistress's doctor since he is the minion with the best knowledge of healing droughts and salves, maybe if we are lucky Sire you will find a Mistress that is even more proficient with them than Doc. Now onto Giblet. Giblet, as I said, is the leader of the browns and as such is the strongest and smartest of them all meaning he can lift some tower objects and other objects by himself if needed to and can do the most basic rudimentary form of math. But his most defining feature is that he is also the minion that will forge all of your weapons and armor once we have the smelters. Now we have the tower objects. There are two main types of objects for the tower. There are the objects of which there are multiple of them such as mana pillars, health columns, spell stones, minion totems, and the different smelters. then we have the items that are unique. Keep in mind Sire that with these items while some may look alike they are completely different in what they are capable of. Now for the purpose of each item the mana pillar increases the overall amount of mana, and by extension chakra, that circulates throughout your body at any given point in time. It also increases your control over it as well. The health column increases your constitution Sire meaning you can drink more before getting drunk, take more damage in a fight before passing out or dying, etc. Spell stones, Sire, have two purposes. They first and foremost increase the amount of mana and chakra circulating throughout your body and increase your control over both, although not by as much as the mana pillar. They also instantly teach you a new spell; however, you will still have to practice the spell if you want to master it. Master While we are on the subject tomorrow I will begin to teach you and Mistress Hinata how to access and use your mana stores, and if we get far enough in the training I will teach both of you a spell. Next is the minion totem. The minion totem increases the amount of minions you can control at one time, nothing more nothing less. Finally the smelters. They are all the same yet different at the same time. While each smelter creates the ingots for your armor and weapons master, they each create a different ingot." Gnarl stopped his explanation for a moment to allow the others to process what he had just said before continuing. "That is all there really is to know about the minions and tower objects Sire. However it looks like we have arrived at our destination." Gnarl said then walked up to the hole in the ground directly ahead of them. "Doc...Giblet are you two still alive down there and if you are I have returned with the master get your ass's up here at once!"
Within seconds 2 more minions scurried out of the inky blackness and stopped in front of the minion master.
"Gnarl you said that the Masters was heres but I don'ts sees him, wheres is he?" Giblet questioned the minion master.
"Giblet you blind, blundering fool he's right behind me! And don't even think about jumping on him, he and the Mistress Hinata need their rest!"
Giblet completely ignored Gnarl's command and proceeded to jump on the blonde with a scream of"Master".
Naruto kicked Giblet off of himself, after several seconds of shock, and regained his composure.
"Enough!" Naruto commanded, instantly bringing the brown leader and all the other minions to a standstill. "Hinata and I need our rest so for now I want Gnarl to lead us to where we will be staying for the night, Giblet we can talk tomorrow. For now though Gnarl lead the way."
Gnarl was stunned. It had been a long time since an Overlord had taken direct control of the minions and commanded them to do something or not to do something. Naruto was already showing that he was more competent than some of the most recent Overlords and Ladies by far, it was this point in Gnarl's mind that Naruto's command registered to him.
"Of course Sire, please follow me." Gnarl began to walk towards the hole once again, followed by everyone, before disappearing into the inky darkness.
The group walked through the darkness navigating twists, turns, and slopes before they finally entered a medium sized room that was lit with glowing fungi. In the middle of the room sat a throne, that looked to be made of assembled stones. Around the throne in a straight line leading to where they stood was a procession of Browns will iron armor and spears.
"Sire, why don't you and Mistress Hinata take a seat on the throne, but before you go to sleep I believe that we need to cover a few more subjects." Gnarl said to his master.
Naruto and Hinata decided to not argue with the minion master and listened to his suggestion and sat themselves on the throne, Naruto in the middle and Hinata on the right arm, her head leaned into the crook of Naruto's shoulder. Naruto merely raised his eyebrow to show that he was listening and to encourage Gnarl to hurry up.
"First Sire let me introduce you to Gimby." At the mention of his name a brown stood out of line of the Browns and bowed to Naruto and Hinata before taking his place back in the line. "He is the captain of the guard Sire and he is also one of the primary Browns. However Sire the reason I called your attention was because I believe we should address our schedule for the future starting with tomorrow." Gnarl said as he received a nod from Naruto to continue. "The first thing I believe that we should do is determine what class you and Mistress Hinata are, and don't worry I will explain the class system to you tomorrow Sire." Gnarl placated the Blonde and bluenette. "Afterwards we can begin our search for the tower heart and the other tower objects, hopefully along the way we can also find the Brown and Gray hives. We will be traveling to where the Gnomes live so we can begin to assemble your dark army, I will also be teaching you and Mistress Hinata how to access and use your mana to cast spells." Gnarl finished for the blonde giving him time to think over his words.
Naruto considered Gnarl's words. He knew that Gnarl was correct in the fact that the first they should do is find out what their class's are and the remaining points simply made sense. It was with these thoughts in mind that Naruto came to a decision.
"That sounds acceptable, now leave us alone, for now we need our rest." Naruto said dismissing Gnarl in the process before drifting off to sleep, his mind wandering.
Gnarl simply lowered his head in acceptance. "Of course Sire." He said before shuffling away from the sleeping pair.
-Naruto's mindscape-
Naruto stood in the middle of a winter woodland. As he stood there he could hear the sounds of foxes, rabbits, deer, and other animals moving around in the snow, off in the distance he could faintly make out the sound of a stream gurgling down the rocky slope it started at. Naruto smiled as he knew exactly where he was, and why wouldn't he. He had spent the first 9 years of his life here after all. As these thoughts flashed through his mind the sound of a snapping twig behind him caught his attention causing him to turn around the small smile on his face getting only somewhat bigger.
"Hello…..Izako-hime." Naruto said as he turned around coming face to face with a beautiful red-headed woman with 9 flowing fox tails.
Demonick: And there you go everyone the first chapter of Naruto: Overlord Arisen is now up and ready for viewing.
Phenix: Yep and so far it looks like a good story in the making especially since we got 26 Lord pains approval to use some of his ideas.
Demonick: Yes indeed Phenix yes indeed. However that's not the only thing I want to bring to attention before the minions take over the chat. Recently I have been thinking about changing my pen name and was wondering if everyone thinks I should or shouldn't. I won't say what I will change it to if yes but I will say it has something to do with the 4 Horsemen.
Gnarl: That was an amazing chapter Sire the next one will be even better I can already tell.
Demonick: Thanks Gnarl and I hope you understand your lesson, now back to my stories I will be updating Naruto: Priest of Jashin within the next month and a half or I will at least try to.
