(Dark Tower…)

Gnarl paced back and forth watching Naruto, waiting for the Three-Stooges and Jester to return with that Regeneration Potion… "Honestly, it doesn't take this long to get a simple Regeneration Potion ready…" The old Minion grumbled under his breath just before the four other Minions returned with a glowing green vial in hand.

"I made it Gnarl! I made it! See! Green!" Jester called out and Gnarl took it from the annoying Minion, tipped it over and let a drop hit the ground… Nothing BAD happened so he nodded his head.

"Alright, seeing as it isn't acid Jester, I'll give this to the Overlord… IF it works I'll see about raising an new Jester from the Gray Hive while you can have a promotion." Gnarl said and Jester grinned, crossing his claws as he watched as Gnarl waddled his way over to Naruto before leaping onto the throne. "Master, this Regeneration Vial shall heal your broken limbs, possibly even your neck given some rest." Gnarl explained and Naruto gave him a flat look while opening his mouth as best he could.

Gnarl then poured the potion into the blond's mouth slowly, stopping every so often to ensure he didn't drown his Master or something stupid like the others might do. Waiting as Naruto finished the first gulp, Gnarl poured more of the drink for him before soon enough he had finished the entire vial. Throwing the vial back Gnarl heard Jester duck and catch it, shouting about it being his only Vial while Gnarl then backed off as Naruto closed his eyes and slowly fell to sleep.

"Alright, now be quiet so the Master can sleep and won't beat us." Gnarl ordered and Jester stood rigid, before slowly moving down to the Minion pit with the Three-Stooges following and snickering into their little claws behind him. Gnarl stayed behind one moment to look at their new Master before nodding his head. "Sleep well Master, you'll need all the energy you can get… after all…" He said then grinned toothily while rubbing his tiny claws together. "An Overlords work is never done…" With that said Gnarl waddled down into the Minion Pit, leaving the blond haired boy behind to sleep and dream…

A hand burst out of a collapsed building that had been set ablaze. An arm then followed the hand as a familiar dark figure pulled he from the ruins of the building, growling out angrily once he was free. "Gnarl…" He growled out before turning towards a Tower in the distance and growled out angrily. "My plans will not be ruined by you… or your new Overlord… I will have MY power, my Tower back whether or not you or that blasted Heart want it…" With that said the man pulled himself out of the rubble and then panted out a few breaths of air.

"Gather strength young Overlord… for once you have regained my power for me, I shall bury you! And take back what is rightfully mine…" Growled out the man with his eyes still burning red. Groaning in pain, the man stumbled off, grunting and groaning as he knew he'd need to find another Unicorn to feed off of if he wanted to survive long enough to get back what he felt was truly and rightfully his all along…

(Morning…)

A pair of blue eyes fluttered open and a groan escaped Naruto's throat as he leaned forward with a hand over his head. "Ah Master, it's good to see you're finally awake." Gnarl piped cheerfully before hopping onto the Throne and then waving Jester over and pointed to his Neck Brace and splints. Nodding, Jester checked the blond boy's wounds and grinned before giving a thumbs-up to Gnarl.

"Excellent, it seems that Jester, or should I say Doc, is more than good enough to be Master's new primary Physician as your wounds have all healed nicely, Sire." Gnarl said with a smirk as Jester widened his eyes, before throwing his Jester hat to the side and stomping on it with an insane glee obvious in his eyes. "Anyways, welcome to the Dark Tower Sire." Gnarl said before the Three-Stooges entered. "These are three of your Minions, they will obey your every whim and command. They would steal for you, kill for you, bleed for you, even die for you if you wish it." Gnarl explained with a grin as the Three-Stooges gave a rather silly and uncoordinated bow to the blond's amusement.

"Now then, Giblet, Gubben, Moldy, help Master out of those clothes, they are not fit for the new Master." Gnarl stated while pointing to the blond. "Jes… er… Doc, Fetch the Master some appropriate clothes… I think something in Black leather armor would do well for an Assassin…" Gnarl said then mused and Doc nodded his head before rushing off with an almost eerie glee in his eyes as he jumped into a blocked off room. Gnarl then moved as Giblet, Gubben, and Moldy went to work, first removing the blonds Splints, Bandages, and then the Neck Brace allowing the blond to breath and realize his neck no longer hurt to move.

Before he could appreciate this further, the blond found the tiny gremlins moving about him, removing his tattered shirt, his old pants, then his sandals, leaving him in only his boxers. Then with a jump from whatever hole he'd been in, Jester jumped out with a bag in hand, he then tossed it to the Three-Stooges. The three looked inside of it then at one another with OOOhhh's from all of them before grinning and jumping on Naruto pulling the new clothes on instead.

"Master, Evilness truly suits you." Gnarl said as he aided the Three-Stooges in placing the blond's new clothing and armor on. "Now, let us go forth!" The Minion master called out as they finished with the blond's lower waist then moved on to his upper body. "There are many nefarious deeds to be done!" Gnarl called out as they finished with his upper body and the Minion Master held a Hittai-ate and then tied it to the blond haired youths forehead… "I can feel the land quaking with fear already…" Gnarl said as he took a couple steps back from the blond, leaving the boys glowing blue eyes to gaze through shadows ominously…

His clothes consisted of Black Tabi, a pair of Black Shinobi pants with wrappings over his right thigh, a tight black sleeveless shirt with a mask pulled up over his lower face, black leather bands over his biceps, a red sash tied around his waist to hang mostly over his ass with an old brown leather belt over that which had a Skull buckle, and a red scarf around his neck and shoulder with a clip over it to hold it down.

His armor was a little different being made of black leather folds with red at the trim of each piece of armor. First was the knee high pair of Sandals/Greaves over his feet that split his toe like the Tabi only had an open heel and toes, while over his stomach and waist was a Cuirass with three Tassets hanging down to cover his hips, thighs and groin, a pair of Kurokote were placed over his arms with places for concealed Senbon at the back of each forearm, a silver manacle over his left wrist had a glowing sphere centered into it, and last Pauldrons were attached to his Cuirass under his scarf, the Pauldrons and matched the rest of his folded black leather armor with red trim.

Last he wore a strange Hittai-Ate of the same design as the Nidaime-Hokage's which was placed over his face, but this one had a spike pointing up from the middle, then two from the sides pointing back much like the Helmet the man who attacked him wore only the spikes were shorter, with three spirals making a triangular symbol on the forehead, while a pair of long black ties fell behind his head to his back leaving his spiky blond locks to point up and his glowing blue eyes to gaze out through the shadows.

"As we are sure Master, you are most likely a Ninja so we felt it would be better for a more Ninja like Armor than what we would normally give you. That is our lightest armor without using Magic, and without our Smelters that is more or less impossible." Gnarl explained and the blond looked down at himself, seeing only a pair of glowing blue eyes and spiky blond hair of his original self.

"I look… different…" Naruto mumbled looking at his visage then grinning under his mask as he chuckled. "But I got to say, I really like this outfit!" Naruto said before clenching his fists and looking at his Kurokote and Gnarl grinned.

"We are happy to serve you Master. But perhaps I should explain what is going on right now. I am Gnarl, the Minion Master and Devoted Servant of Darkness, in case your eminence has forgot." Gnarl said while walking over to an archway and walked down a flight of stairs while Naruto checked the Senbon slots on his gauntlets and groaned seeing none of the needles were present for a weapon.

"Master! Follow! Follow!" One of the Three-Stooges called out before grabbing Naruto's right arm and pulling him after Gnarl as the tiny Gray stood beside a strange pit with float rocks.

"This cavern is the Spawning Pit, Sire, this is where new minions are born, and live." Gnarl explained while waving his arms out and Naruto took notice of the area besides the pit in the center. He saw numerous archways all over the room, four to be precise, one with a lava field, one with a desert area, one with a waterway, and the last had a swampy green look. Rocks of all types were around the main area however, with all kinds of carvings in them and even some knocked down pillars, beyond those was a door to the back of the area, which looked to go outside.

"Now that you are here, you can call forth Minions from this Minion Gate." Gnarl explained while the Three Stooges then jumped up and into the Minion gate. "Use your mind Sire, the tower is linked to you, and you to it, just as we Minions are. We are part of the tower and as such we are also part of you, so call the minions with the power of your mind!" Gnarl exclaimed and Naruto twitched, anyone in Konoha could tell you he didn't have much of a mind but that didn't mean he wasn't going to try.

Taking a deep breath Naruto held his left arm towards the Gate and then closed his eyes. Thinking of the Three-Stooges Naruto flexed his hand three times and heard a strange sound each time. Opening his eyes he was slightly shocked, yet proud to see three Minions now standing before him. "Ah look at them, their so happy to have a Master to serve again… their all ready to Loot and Pillage at your command, it warms my black heart to see them so attentive and ready…" Gnarl said and Naruto raised a brow, though he knew what an Overlord was, he wasn't so sure he actually was one himself. "Now then, since I will have to arrange for a new Gray to replace Jester, and since we have no weapons since the Betrayer stole them, I shall answer any questions you might have about this place, the Minions, or even why you're the new Overlord…" Gnarl stated with a Grin and Naruto wondered if the little thing could read his thoughts somehow.

"Where exactly am I, Gnarl?" Naruto decided it would be best to figure THAT out before anything else, it wouldn't do not to know where he was incase he needed to leave for home after all… though… Gnarl said this WAS his new home and though it was a pretty run down, he could admit it could be nicer than his own already run down apartment with the help of these Minions…

"Ah, this is the Dark Tower, milord. Created by your ancient Ancestor, the first of all the many Overlords throughout history." Gnarl said proudly with a wide grin while Naruto's jaw dropped at that bombshell, he LITERALLY owned this entire place!? "He was a powerful Sorcerer mileage, he created this Tower, it's Heart, and even the Minions within it all with his Powerful Magic!" Gnarl said with a grin and Naruto sat down, then looked around and openly gaped, to create all of this, his Ancestor must have been some kind of a god!

"Alright… What is this Heart you and that guy were talking about last night?" Naruto then questioned and Gnarl chuckled lightly before answering.

"The Tower-Heart, milord, it was created by your ancestor to allow us to teleport anywhere we have explored before, channel magic into the Tower's main functions and then excess magic to the Towers current Owner, and even Chose the Next Rightful Overlord from all of his Descendants. However, when one isn't available the Heart will pick someone with a great evil in their soul to lead us until a true Overlord is ready for his true destiny!" Gnarl explained with a grin and Naruto nodded his head slowly, and then had an idea as he realized something.

"So it's… uh… what was that word Shikamaru used… Senti… sentiment… no… Sentient? Yeah! That's it. This Heart is somehow Sentient then Right?" Naruto questioned and Gnarl nodded his head to the blond before frowning at him.

"Someone has been holding your education back Lord…" It was a statement, and for once Naruto nodded, if these things were technically family it wouldn't feel right to lie to them after all… and they DID want to help him… "Then Retrieving the Tower-Heart has more priority than ever before!" Gnarl said suddenly and Naruto looked at him with obvious confusion. "Sire, the Tower-Heart is linked to you just as it is to us, as one of the True Overlords you are able to call forth it's full power… That Traitorous Fool who attacked you thought that he deserved the full power of the Heart… bloody Heroes, bah!" Gnarl said then spat out angrily.

"Right… What are you and the Minions then, Gnarl? If you don't mind me asking at least…" Naruto questioned and Gnarl frowned for a few moments.

"Don't bother saying please or thank you to us Lord, we are Servants and Soldiers. We live quite simply to do your bidding." Gnarl stated and Naruto blinked then nodded his head slowly. "Good, now then. Minions were originally created from different Creatures. Imps, Goblins, Dragons, and especially Gremlins! The original Master made us after a series of Experimentations went awry, his attempt was to make a perfect balance of the species that he could control. Instead, he made all of us Minions." Gnarl explained and Naruto nodded his head slowly before taking a thoughtful expression.

"You mentioned a "Hero" Bloodline before Gnarl. What is that exactly?" Naruto questioned, wondering what kind of "super cool" super ability he got from his ancestor.

"Well… Let me think now… Ah yes. The Hero Bloodline was the first to be seen on this world Lord. It manifested itself as an unusual combat prowess, enhanced strength and speed, otherworldly endurance, a high regeneration factor, and of course the ability to focus and use Magic!" Gnarl explained, leaving Naruto to realize his physical abilities were actually his bloodline, depressing the blond as he never thought they were that cool. "However, the original Master destroyed this Bloodline, even though he had it himself. He said it was to ensure only his descendants could ever use the Tower-Heart, even though he was correct, the Tower-Heart found a way to transfer the bloodline to normal people when it needed a new Overlord." Gnarl explained and Naruto nodded his head slowly then began to think some more on what was next.

"How are you so sure I'm supposed to be an Overlord Gnarl? I thought you said the Tower-Heart was missing." Naruto questioned then stated and Gnarl rolled his eyes before looking at Naruto flatly.

"Simple Lord. The Tower itself has carried a small amount of Charge even without the Heart. I've been watching for a new Overlord for a long time. But every time we found one it seemed as if the Traitor found him first! We are connected to the Tower, as is the Heart, and the Heart wants a new Master as badly as we do, so it sought you out Lord." Gnarl explained and Naruto raised a brow in confusion. "Your eyes don't glow like that because of your Bloodline Sire, it's the mark of a True Overlord!" Gnarl stated and Naruto nodded his head slowly then looked at the gem on his left wrist.

"What exactly is this thing then Gnarl?" The blond questioned while tapping the object and Gnarl grinned towards the Blond.

"First, it's a link to the Tower-Heart, allowing us to transport you back to the tower should you come close to death. Secondly Lord, in the past, your ancestor found that creating life from nothing was impossible. While he could create the Bodies of the Minions there was no true way to create the life-force necessary to give them life." Gnarl started and Naruto had a feeling he knew where this was going. "In short Lord, that object absorbs the Life-Force of those slain by you or your Minions, then transports it to the tower, allowing you to call forth more Minions to your aid!" Gnarl said then with a wide grin and Naruto shuddered.

"You mean it steals Souls?!" Naruto demanded with wide eyes and Gnarl shook his head with a frown.

"No Sire. It merely transfers the Spark of Life within all living creatures to a new Minion. It's not like a dead Creature needs it so your Ancestor created it for that purpose. He figured that if a Minion didn't use it then it was basically going to waste, and he hated wasting anything. He left the Soul alone as it seems even he had some amount of an aversion to trying to taint the immortal Soul." Gnarl explained and Naruto let out a sigh of relief, that wasn't so bad, and Gnarl DID make a point about it being wasted…

"Alright… That's a lot to take in… what did that man… that Betrayer as you called him do to the Tower? I mean, why is it all so smashed up if you guys were so powerful?" Naruto questioned and Gnarl looked around before sighing softly.

"That Sire, is the direct result of the Traitor I told you about. He was a prideful man, always believing himself to be better than others. That led to him killing your… great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather and then he killed his own mistress, and finally you're great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmother in an attempt to gain full control of the Tower-Heart." Gnarl explained and Naruto clenched his fists, eyes glowing brightly with hate. "After that the Tower-Heart knew it couldn't allow him to continue on, it took the power to control Minions, and his Magic away from him before casting him out of the Dark-Tower. He swore that he would regain control of the Tower at any and all costs." Gnarl explained then rubbed his face with one claw.

"At that time the man joined with a Succubus for revenge on us and the Tower, he unleashed the strongest beasts of Hell into the world to run rampant. I believe they are known as Bijuu to your own people, sire." Gnarl explained and Naruto was to say the least, shocked, that the man who had tried to murder him was also the one who unleashed the Bijuu onto the world! "What he didn't know was that your Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Grandfather had already been born. By this time your "Ninja World" was already starting to form with the new Bloodlines being born from the demons he unleashed onto the world. At the same Time, Magic was altered itself; somehow Humans gained an internal supply called "Chakra" and learned how to wield it with Hand Seals instead of Will or through use of Mana." Gnarl explained then shuddered to himself.

"We survived all of this Sire, by placing an illusion around the Tower no one has or ever will notice it unless they have been here before." Gnarl then explained, explaining why no one had noticed the Tower at the very least. "This didn't stop the Traitor however. He went across the Lands slaying hundreds, thousands, and slowly he became more and more corrupted. But without the Tower-Heart it wasn't making him any stronger so he finally decided that the only way to gain the full power of the Tower once more, was to destroy any and all who tried take control of it." Gnarl said then gnashed his teeth together in rage.

"He set out and destroyed any and all who came near the tower, looting it afterwards and taking away more and more of our power until finally the last who was in line to be the Overlord was killed. She was a woman, the first female to ever be declared the next Overlord. And yet she too was killed by our traitorous former Master…" Gnarl explained then had a look on his face as he looked to Naruto. "And since you are to be Overlord next… that would make her…" Gnarl left this hanging but Naruto picked it up easily, his eyes glowing brighter than ever, as streams of blue steam seemed to flow out from his helmet…

"She was my mother… and he killed her… and possibly even my father!" With that and a mighty roar Naruto slammed a fist into the ground, breaking the stone as he shook with barely suppressed rage.

"M-master?" One of the Three-Stooges questioned and Naruto looked at him from the corner of his Eye before turning back to Gnarl.

"That bastard… he wants evil… I'll give him evil… I'll fight darkness with Darkness… Gnarl! Show me… teach me to be stronger than him, train me to be better than him, help me grow more powerful than he ever was, so that I can rip his fucking worm infested heart out of his cold lifeless corpse, then let those three idiots bathe in his fucking BLOOD!!" Naruto roared out, the three-stooges starting to jump with glee at the very idea of bathing in blood, while Gnarl grinned widely to Naruto.

"And… what else do you want, Master? We will do as you ask regardless but would that truly be all that you desire, Lord? Revenge… while it is a positively corrupt goal in the long term of things it won't really help you or us if you don't have something to do afterwards." Gnarl questioned then pointed out and Naruto sat back for a moment, trying to think of what to say to the tiny old Minion… Looking at Gnarl then to the swirling portal of mystical energy in the center of the room Naruto knew what he wanted and his eyes burned blue fire. Standing up Proud and Tall the dark visage of the Overlord seemed to loom over Gnarl once more and made him give an excited shudder.

"I will rebuild this tower… my ancestors home… I shall reclaim all that was taken from it by that traitor… I shall reign over this land as my ancestors did, long ago…" Naruto stated darkly and the Three-Stooges cheered behind him while Gnarl merely grinned, an evil glint in his eyes. "I will no longer take any abuse from Konoha, or Anyone for that matter! I shall have my Minions serve me well, together, we shall travel the world, gain power and destroy those who would dare appose us!" Naruto said while clenching a fist as his hatred and rage continued to burn in his heart. "In short, Gnarl… I shall become what the village has feared most…" Naruto said darkly while Doc ran into the room and watched as Naruto raised a fist into the air, eyes still glowing as though they were blue flames.

"I SHALL BECOME THE TRUE OVERLORD, A BASTION OF EVIL AND DARKNESS THE LIKES OF WHICH NONE HAS EVER KNOWN!" He screamed to the heavens above while the Three-Stooges clapped and cheered, one seeming to cry tears of joy while Doc then flipped down and beside Naruto at that point and bowed to him.

"All hail, the New Overlord!!" He exclaimed loudly as Naruto lowered his arm and Gnarl grinned a crooked grin while looking at his new Master proudly… Yes… all hail the Overlord indeed…

AN: If some of you can't tell, the "Hero" Bloodline is taken from Fable, Will use is as well, though can also be interpreted as coming from Elder Scrolls V: Oblivion, the Guild Halls, mentioned in the Prior Chapter ACTUALLY reflect the Guilds in Oblivion however, and last, there might be some Mention or actual use of Dungeons & Dragons creatures/races in later chapters. All in all, I'm trying to combine the aspects of Overlord, Oblivion, Fable 2, and D&D together to make a more diverse "Fantasy" setting than what appeared in the actual Overlord game, not that I didn't like Overlord just fine, but it only had about four or five intelligent "Magical" races at best while the rest were normally just monsters. Hell, the Succubus barely had any real plot for being in the game, I'm going to try and make a plot for them besides just Being there… Oh well, Ciao!

Naruto's Cuirass/Tassets look like the black leather armor that Sesshomaru from Inuyasha wears, only made of several plates of Leather with red at the trim of each plate. Note that Naruto's doesn't have the metal armor on the chest or shoulder that Sesshomaru's own has in order for it to be a little more like the Overlords.

In place of what Sesshomaru had on his Shoulder, Naruto essentially has Leather Pauldrons over his shoulders, these look like what Kadaj From Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children had on his own Coat, only with a red Trim added on to them.

A Kurokote is a pair of Japanese Gauntlets that only covered the Hand, Wrist, and Forearm, basically leaving the Fingers and palms bare. Naruto's have a slot on the forearm however to stick three Senbon into, actual Ninja wore these quite often for a Silent Kill or for easy access to Senbon. Naruto's are made of Thick leather Plates folded together with a Red Trim at each "Plate".

His Sandals/Greaves are the same as above, made to be Ninja like they were made to combine a Greave and Sandal together for the Overlord. These are my own creation; they are also made from the same combination of black and red Leather as the items above.
