Chapter 2: Camelot
"Ouch, what the hell, man?" he asked himself.
"Naruto, be careful. I cannot sense these people. And, I won't be able to sense danger, too."
"Don't sweat it, Kurama."
Naruto then looked around the room. But it was dark. He couldn't see clearly. But, suddenly, someone lit the torches up.
Four Knights were surrounding him from his four corners. All of them had their swords in front of them and they put both of their hands on their sword's hilt. Naruto was a little confused. He had no idea what they were doing. Or are they statues?
They then started to move. They all charged towards Naruto, with their swords ready to slay Naruto.
"Woah, guys, stop." he said as he evaded the first attack. But the other Knight was already behind him to attack. He had no option left, but to jump.
So, he took that option to dodge. But there was another one in front of him, waiting to strike him from the air. This time it was too late, he couldn't dodge it anymore.
So, he used his sword to block it. But, the force propelled him back as he landed softly on the floor.
His sword was still unsheathed. He didn't want to use his sword against his comrades.
"Guys, stop it. It's not time to be joking around."
"You think we are joking around! We were ordered by the King to kill you." shouted a Knight, who seems familiar to Naruto, as he dashed towards Naruto.
Naruto was a bit shocked that the King ordered them to kill him.
'Why would he do that?' he asked himself.
His question was answered by the sword coming towards him. He evaded to the left. But there was a Knight already waiting for him.
This time he had to fight back. If he doesn't, he will eventually get killed by the Knights.
He caught the Knight's sword with his palms and broke the swords into pieces. Before the Knight could even surprise at him, Naruto had already delivered a kick towards the Knights armor, which sent him back, knocking the man out. The other Knights were stunned by that.
Naruto quickly jumped up. He was sticking and sitting on the wall like glue.
"Don't worry. I didn't kill him." said the blond.
The Knights' attention went back to the blond.
Naruto jumped down again. But he jumped pretty far away from them.
"Guys, I am serious. I don't want to draw my sword against my comrades."
But the Knights didn't listen. They roared as they ran towards Naruto.
"Guess I have no choice." said Naruto as he took out his sword.
He dashed towards the Knights. Soon, he blurred out from the place and reappeared behind the Knights.
He sheathed his sword. The two Knights' armor broke into pieces as they fell down to the ground unconscious.
Only the Knight in purple armor remained. He was shocked.
Naruto turned around towards the Knight. "I don't know what's wrong with you guys. But, please stop. I don't want to harm you guys." said Naruto again.
"You don't need to anymore, Naruto." said someone from the dark. He knew he had heard this voice somewhere before. But, he still doesn't remember the owner of the voice.
"Huh?"
Someone then came out from the dark. It was no other than the King. He was still in his blue armor. His sword was attached to his waist.
"Artoria?" asked Naruto.
"You do not address the King with the first name." said the Knight in purple armor as he knelt in front of his King as he took off his helmet.
"Oh, right, right." said Naruto as he followed his lead.
"That's okay, Lancelot." said the King.
"Lancelot?" he thought for a bit. "OH, you are the guy from the battle. I remember you now!" shouted Naruto as he jumped up pointing at the Knight.
Lancelot was annoyed by him.
"But why? Why do you want to kill me?" Naruto asked the King.
"Idiot," thought Kurama.
"It was just a test." the King replied back.
"A test?"
"A test to see if you are an assassin from barbarians or not."
"Why do you think that I am an assassin from barbarians? I am sure I don't look like those ugly things."
"Yes, you don't look like them. But, we heard that barbarians took human children and trained them to become assassins."
"Oh, I see."
"If you were to be an assassin, I would even be dead by now since you can easily beat one of my best Knights, Lancelot."
"I am sorry for failing you, my King." said Lancelot.
"It's okay, Lancelot. I know you went easy on him. You also believed in him, right?" said the King.
But, Lancelot didn't reply.
"Oh, really? You believed in me? I am so touched." Naruto said childishly as he crawled onto him.
"Shut up!" he shouted back.
"Huh? I am hurt. I thought you liked me?" said Naruto.
"I told you to shut up." he shouted back, being annoyed as they two started to have a childish fight.
They then heard a laugh from their King. And the two stopped their fight.
Naruto and Lancelot's childish fighting made him laugh.
For Lancelot, it has been so long since the last time the King had laughed. He rarely showed emotions since then. But, today, he looked more lively.
"Lancelot, you can now return to your room." ordered the King.
"Yes, my King." said Lancelot as he walked towards the exit.
When Lancelot had left, the room was quiet.
"Huh? Where did the others go?" asked Naruto.
"They were never real. They were made by Merlin's magic."
"Oh, I see."
"More importantly, there are some things I wanted to ask you, Naruto."
Naruto listened to him carefully.
"During the battlefield, something fell upon me and Lancelot. But it didn't hit us. It crashed to the ground. But, you appeared only after that."
"You are asking me that I am that thing?"
The King nodded. "At first, I have never noticed you in the battlefield. You only happened to appear after the fall."
"Um .. well, actually, I was just passing by when I saw the battle. And I saw that one of the barbarians was running towards you. So, I came to help." replied Naruto. He felt bad lying to the King. But he couldn't tell the true story. He had no choice left, but to lie.
"Hmm ... I see. So, what about sticking to the walls?"
"Sticking to the walls?" he asked confusedly.
"While I was watching you fight with Lancelot, I saw that you can stick to the walls."
"Oh, that? Well, I am not a mage. But, I can do a few tricks like that." Naruto replied. He already knew that mages exist in this era. So, he used it as a reason.
"Oh, I see. That ability is quite handy."
"Come on, Naruto, follow me." said the King as he walked towards the exit door.
Naruto did the same.
"Um ... where are we going?" asked Naruto.
"To the tailor, of course, you can't wear those clothes all the time since you will be joining the round table. Besides, you don't look like you have some extras."
Naruto was dumbfounded by his answer. It was the truth after all.
"Wait, what do you mean by joining the round table?"
"Oh, right, I forgot to mention. From today on, you will be the fourteenth Knight of the round table."
His jaws dropped. He knew what the Knights of Round Table are from the basic information Hagoromo gave. They were all powerful, strong Knights, recognized as the King's equals. Naruto was a bit surprised that he was able to join.
"Come on, we have other things to do after this." said the King as he continued walking.
"Right, my King." replied Naruto as he followed him.
"You don't need to address me as 'my King' just because you became a Knight of the round table, you know."
"Right, right."
'I hope I can believe in you, Naruto.' thought the King.
It was an ordinary day for an ordinary person. But for Naruto, it was special. He met a lot of new people. He got to know with the other Knights of the round table, too.
At first, he was surprised that Lancelot was one of them. But when he thought about that, of course, Lancelot would be one. He was the only other Knight, who defeated many huge barbarians along with the King and Naruto.
After dinner, the King told Merlin to show Naruto his room. This time Merlin showed him his real room.
Naruto was now lying on his bed. Thinking about today put a smile on his face. He was glad that the King was good to him and he became friendlier with the King. He gave him a place to stay in Camelot and gave him the title of 'Knight'. Naruto became the King's left-hand Knight while Lancelot was the King's right-hand Knight.
"Kurama, what do you think about this era?"
"For me, every era is the same. There is always war. Humans can never find peace." replied the fox.
"I don't think so, Kurama. One day, I believe peace will come."
With that said, Naruto closed his eyes...
