Naruto: Overlord Arisen
Chapter 2: Welcome to the Dark Sanctuary
Demonick: Hey guys I'm back with the next Chapter of Naruto: Overlord Arisen, some new information for everyone regarding the story and my pen name, and some new commentators. With me as always is Phenix.
Phenix: Hey guys what's up!
Demonick: Also with me is Gnarl, Giblet, and Doc.
Gnarl, Giblet, and Doc: Hello Sire!
Demonick: Regrettably Huntress…
Huntress: Hey I take offense to that and it's good to see you too.
Demonick: Yet you sneer at me when you say this. *sigh*, and lastly is another good friend of mine Xxknight81xX81. Who I will refer to as knight.
Knight: It's good to be here man.
Demonick: Yes, yes it is indeed.
Phenix: Well now that introductions are out of the way get onto the news.
Demonick: Fine fine well first off is that Knight will be a permanent commentator and that I have a list of some of the girls that will be in the harem. First is Hinata, afterwards some OC's of my design and some not will join him along with Tayuya, Kushina, Fem Gaara, Kyuubi and some more that are still undecided. Secondly I have a poll up on whether or not I should change my pen name yes or no are the only options. and Lastly I am here to inform everyone that I have a plan for how I will write my stories. First I will be swapping back and forth between this one and Priest of Jashin. So more than likely I will write somewhere ranging from 3-6 chapters for one story without updating the other, then switch to the other write those chapters and post them with the same amount of chapters so that i can make them even.
Gnarl: That's great information Sire but maybe we should get to the story.
Demonick: I suppose you're right Gnarl; however, before we do I have a couple more things to ask. First can someone tell of a good english to elvish translator or possibly start up a Tropes page or something for Priest of Jashin. Secondly I need to find a place that has a graphics tool or something so that i can post the pictures of all the characters to deviantart so everyone knows what they look like. Any way On with the Show!
Naruto stood facing a beautiful redheaded woman with an hourglass frame and 9 flowing fox tails. They both starred at each other for several moments, small smiles on both of their faces, until the woman spoke.
"Hello Naruto-kun. It's good to see you after so long, I was beginning to think that you had forgotten about little old me." She said.
"You know I could never do that Izako-hime, you're one of my most precious people after all." He said in a soft voice.
"I know that Naruto-kun, I was just teasing. I see that you finally learned of your bloodline."
"Yea, I take it that you already knew. Not that I hold it against you or anything, i'm sure you had your reasons for not telling me."
"I had my suspicions, but I was never able to be entirely positive until I saw that Brown minion run over to you and call you master. Although that could be in part to the fact that your mother never embraced the title of Overlady while I was sealed inside her."
"Maybe, but speaking of Kaa-chan we found her today. She...She was strapped on to so many machines. I just couldn't stand the sight, especially after what you told me about her." Naruto spoke in evident grief.
"Naruto-kun I'm sorry you had to see such a thing, but you need to remember that this is the ninja world and that it could have been much, much worse."
From there their conversation continued for several hours covering everything that had happened to Naruto since the last time they had talked. Finally though It was time for him to leave as his body began to fade from the mental landscape.
"Naruto-kun if you can find a body for me to inhabit I'll help you and your friend with training. Also if you want I can make those 2 hostages of yours loyal to you and you only, I just to get a grasp on the conscious. And please visit again soon, it gets lonely without anyone to talk to." Izako said.
"Of course Izako-hime." Naruto replied with a smile before he disappeared.
-Real World-
He awoke on his stone throne to the sight of Gnarl shuffling his way over to his left side until he noticed Naruto's glowing eyes trained on his form.
"Ahh Master it's good to see that you're awake already, I was just coming to wake you and Mistress Hinata so we could begin our trek to meet the Gnomes and to begin your training." Gnarl spoke in a calm tone
Naruto nodded his head slightly to Gnarl's statement before shaking Hinata awake. Hinata finally awoke after 3 more tries before sitting up on the throne's arm.
"Good now that you are both awake we can begin. Sire, Gimby and his Browns are going to stay here while the rest of us begin our journey." Naruto and Hinata nodded their heads so Gnarl continued. "As we travel we will determine your classes and then we shall begin your training in using and unlocking your mana."
Everyone rose at that point and readied themselves for travel. After several minutes of preparation the group departed for their destination. As the group walked down the dark, dimly lit cave Gnarl decided to begin the explanation on the class system and how it worked.
"Sire, mistress I believe it's time we determined what classes you are aligned to. So I would like for you to explain to me what you can do such as your skills and what you are proficient in." Gnarl said from the front of the group.
Naruto and Hinata both thought over Gnarl's words before Hinata spoke up.
"Well Gnarl I'm decent at my family's taijutsu style and my Byakugan, while not being able to see tenketsu like the rest of my family allows me to see much farther than my family ranging up to 10 kilometers. I also have basic skills with medicinal herbs and basic knowledge on most forms of nature and geography. I am also rather stealthy thanks to my training at the academy and some personal training."
Naruto allowed for several seconds of silence before he began to speak. "I'm rather skilled with knives and hidden blades thanks to my earlier life." 'And some additional training' Naruto thought to himself getting a soft chuckle in his head thanks to Izako. "I am also very stealthy and am skilled at picking locks and pickpocketing. I am able to craft several different things including maps and traps along with a few professions and some things i am capable of performing."
Gnarl thought over their words for several minutes before he finally came to a conclusion concerning their classes. "From what I can gather from what you have just told me… Mistress Hinata, while we don't have an official term for it in the dark races class system, the equivalent among the light races would be the ranger class. Master for you I would say that the Assassin class fits you the best, actually come to think of it that also makes you the first assassin class OVerlord. Now how to explain the class system." Gnarl mused for minutes before finally speaking again. "The class system is used to explain each individual's skills and talents. We have the light classes and their opposites the dark classes. The light races 3 main classes the Wizard, Fighter , and Rogue classes. There are of course several other classes, but these are the main classes that you will encounter. Now the Dark Races also have 3 main classes which are the Warlocks, Barbarians, and Assassins. Just like the light races there are of course more classes, but you don't need to know them currently."
" Then what about Hinata-chan's class?" Naruto asked.
"...I guess I have to say that I wasn't entirely honest with her class." Gnarl stated to receive a glare from both Naruto and Hinata, but N=Gnarl continued anyway. "The best way to explain Mistress Hinata's class would be to say that it is a universal class just like the monk class, but like I said Sire you don't need to know about them as of right now."
The group continued walking in silence for several hours with only the occasional sentence from Naruto or Hinata to break the silence. It was after another hour of pure silence that Gnarl decided now was the best time to start on a new topic of conversation.
"Master," Gnarl started so as to obtain Naruto's and Hinata's attention, "I believe it's time that I began teaching both you and Mistress Hinata how to access and use your mana stores." When Gnarl noticed that he had their complete attention he continued. "Accessing your mana is actually a fairly simple endeavor. The first thing that you should do is focus on yourself by erasing all the thoughts floating through your mind. Once your mind is clear start searching for a soft, blue glow. You'll know when you found it if when you reach out to connect to it you feel an electrical pulse travel throughout your body or you feel as if it is humming. After you find it you should reach out for it and once you connect to it you will be able to use your mana whenever you want."
Naruto and Hinata instantly began Gnarl's instructions and within seconds Naruto felt his man coursing through his body, although the feeling for it was vastly different than what Gnarl described, his felt unnatural almost as if it were a after Naruto began channeling his mana, Hinata's mana began flowing throughout her body and soon began to meld with his own mana, he assumed it was because of her succubus heritage. Neither had it in them earlier to tell Gnarl that they had already accessed their mana, but they figured it was for the best.
"Gnarl I have to make a confession." Naruto said to the minion master who looked at him inquisitively. "I actually unlocked my mana when I was 6 and have been practicing with it ever since, although I don't know any spells." Naruto spoke, gaining wide eyes from Hinata and a raised eyebrow from Gnarl.
"You too Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked.
Naruto was surprised by Hinata's question and responded in kind.
"Wait what do you mean by too Hinata-chan?"
"Well the Hyuuga clan begins teaching us how to access our chakra once we turn 7 so we can begin out jyuuken training. During the training to unlock my chakra I unlocked my mana in the process and have been using it ever since."
"Hmmmmm." Gnarl mused. "I see. Then who taught you how to access your mana Sire. I can understand Mistress Hinata unlocking it while being trained by her family, but your story isn't even there."
Naruto remained quiet for some moments before speaking while releasing a good deal of his presence. "If I tell you, you have to swear to never reveal that information to anyone under the pain of death. Understood." Naruto said, his eyes glowing an ominous dark-blue, borderline black.
"We swear we will never reveal anything." They both vocalised though with great difficulty because of the amount of presence crushing down on them.
"Good, Hinata you might not know this, but I didn't always use to live in Konoha. In fact i used to live in a winter woodland. It wasn't until my 10th birthday that I moved to Konoha. However as I grew up in that forest I had 2 people teach me everything that I know. My stealth skills, sensory skills, and everything else I know is all thanks to them. The first person was a Drow." Gnarl looked shocked at Naruto's words as he continued. "Her name was Noctina, Noctina Elhärdzukan." Gnarl was speechless by this point. Everyone in the Dark Sanctuary knew that name. Noctina Elhärdzukan was a drow priestess of the highest caliber, having mastered spells and forms of dark magic that hadn't been seen in millennia and would cause most to cower at the mention of her name let alone her presence. At least until the day she was exiled 143 years ago. "She taught me most of what I know, and it's because of her I have one of my most prized possessions. However, the second person is someone I have known then I knew Noctina. Her name is Izako Manamatsuri, or as you all know her, Kyuubi the nine tailed demon fox."
To say Gnarl and Hinata were surprised was an understatement. They were completely flabbergasted. the Kyuubi, the being that destroyed Konoha, was the second person that helped shape Naruto into the person that he was today. And from what they were hearing it sounded like her and Naruto were very good friends.
"Izako-hime taught me quite a bit and gave me my other kost prized possession. Also she said that she would be willing to help us out with anything that we needed if we could find a body for her to inhabit or figure out a way for her to manifest herself into the physical world."
Gnarl tried to process this information the best he could before finally speaking.
"I understand Master, don't worry, this information will go to the grave with us." Gnarl paused for a second then continued. "I don't guess either of you know any spells." He stated.
Naruto and Hinata shook their heads 'no' to signify they did not getting Gnarl to smirk.
"Good, then let me teach you your first spell. It's called fireball."
-Konohagakure-
In konoha things were not running quite as smoothly. The village was in uproar once the news that Mizuki had stolen the forbidden scroll spread across the village. And things only got worse when news that in the process he had also kidnapped the Hyuuga heiress and killed the Kyuubi-brat spread. Currently the sandaime sat in Konoha's council chambers with the civilian, Shinobi, and Elder councils discussing the situation at hand.
"Hokage-sama we must do something!" A civilian councilman wailed. "We must retrieve the scroll and the Hyuuga heiress!"
"Hokage-sama I must agree, we need to find the scroll and my daughter, no matter how weak she is. Kami only knows what will happen to her and I dread to find out that she spilled information on my clan's doujutsu because she was tortured." Hiashi said.
"And what exactly do you want me to do? The ANBU have been out searching for her and Mizuki since last night and it's only recently that they found poor Naruto-kun's body." No one missed the evident grief in his voice and Naruto's name.
"Feh! Who gives a damn about the fucking demon. Were better off with him dead anyway." Another civilian responded with disdain.
Within seconds the entirety of the Shinobi and Elder councils glared at the council member who had just spoken causing him to begin trembling in his seat.
"I suggest you hold your tongue civilian if you know what's good for you." Hiruzen growled.
"you idiots may not realize it, but we are quite vulnerable right now since we no longer have our jinchuuriki to act as a deterrent for war while the other hidden villages still have their Jinchuuriki" Shikaku Nara voiced from his seat.
"Yes Nara-san is correct….Hokage-sama I propose that we kidnap one of the other villages jinchuuriki to take as our own." Danzo said.
"Absolutely not! We are already enemies with Iwa and have an unsteady relationship with Kumo at best, we don't need any more enemies." Hiruzen replied with conviction. "...I have already talked to Iruka about this also. He is deeply saddened by these events and as so we have decided to wait on team placement til next week, Iruka is going to announce to his class the tragic news of last nights events in the hope that at the very least all of the children will learn to take their careers as ninja more seriously, so be prepared to discuss these events with your children. For now this meeting is dismissed." With that Hiruzen disappeared in a shunshin to his office where he started sending out commands to all of his ninja to tighten security of the village so as to not allow another repeat of the night before under the penalty of treason. The remaining councilmen and women were already funneling out of the building by this point all wondering how to discuss the topic with their children.
-Academy-
Iruka's class was gathered in their homeroom awaiting the arrival of their former instructor. As they waited conversations began to fill the room causing different sec's of conversation. While all of this was going on throughout the room all of the clan heirs and Sakura had gathered into a group and were discussing events.
"Oh man I can't wait to get our sensei's!" Kiba exclaimed.
"Troublesome, settle down Kiba, you're just going to have to wait like the rest of us." Shikamaru sighed.
"Shika's right dog boy, besides I already know that Sasuke-kun and I are going to be an amazing team!" Ino squealed the last bit.
"Cha, as if Ino-pig! It's going to be and Sasuke-kun!" Sakura yelled/screeched.
"Hmm." Sasuke grunted.
"I'm not really all that worried about it, I'm wondering where Hinata is." Choji said in between bites of his chips.
"Yea now that you mention it where is Hinata, she's normally the first person to get here." Ino asked.
"Don't know, but maybe Iruka-sensei will know." Kiba replied.
Just as Kiba finished the door slid open revealing a tired and worn Iruka. All noise ceased allowing for Iruka to shuffle over to his desk in silence. As Iruka sat behind his desk all of his students noticed the red rings around his eyes and the bags beneath them too. The remained in silence for several more moments before Ino finally spoke up.
"Iruka-sensei what's up with you, and do you know where Hinata is?"
Iruka began to shake at Ino's question before he finally spoke.
"Class, I...I have some bad news. Your former sensei Mizuki had betrayed the village." Iruka paused as the class broke into gasps and hushed muttering. "He, in the process, also tricked your former classmate, Uzumaki Naruto, into stealing the forbidden scroll in the guise of a makeup test so that he could become a genin. Mizuki then stole the scroll from him and…..and killed him. Afterwards he kidnapped Hinata and fled the village."
The class was stunned. their former loud mouthed classmate, or so they thought,, dead and another classmate kidnapped, it just wasn't real.
"You...you're kidding right Iruka-sensei?" Kiba stammered.
"No...I'm not….team placement had been cancelled til next week under the orders of the Hokage. You're all dismissed.
The class simply stood and made their way out of the classroom, trying to come to terms with what they had just heard with the exception of one raven haired male. As the last student left Iruka finally broke into tears.
"Naruto, Hinata I failed both of you. I'm so sorry."
-Back with Naruto-
"Yes Sire you and Mistress Hinata are doing just fine now that you have formed the mana in your hand, see in your mind the mana heating up until it combusts and once it does there are 2 ways to launch it first you can point out your arm and let it launch that way or you can throw it like you would a ball." Gnarl told Naruto and Hinata.
Both of them nodded and visualised the magic just as Gnarl said and in no time the magic combusted becoming a fireball. As one they thrust out their arms, and by extension their hands, causing the fireballs to go streaking through the air and collide with the wall a few dozen feet away.
"Great job Master, Mistress with a little more practice you'll have mastered this spell." Gnarl was interrupted from his sentence when several scratching and squeaking sounds started springing up all around them. Soon multiple red eyes could be seen staring at them which then scurried into the light revealing a big rat with several scratches and blotches of red covering it's body.
"Sire you and Mistress should be careful. these filthy vermin are dire rats and it's a distinct possibility that they are diseased so you should avoid being injured by one at all costs. I would recommend using the fireball spell to kill them and if they get to close the browns will take care of them."
By this point the rats had begun advancing on their position in numbers and with great speed; however, it wasn't enough as Naruto and Hinata took Gnarl's advice to heart and began flinging fireballs left and right trying to exterminate as many rats as possible, although they were kind of curious about what the little browns orbs were that dropped after the rats died. Soon enough the rather sizeable army of rats had been cut down to only a handful at the most, all of which scurried away from the small group and avoided the burning bodies of their brethren probably because of the interesting fact that if the barely even touched the flames they too would combust because of their extremely flammable fur.
"Gnarl what are those small brown orbs?" Hinata questioned the minion master.
"Ahh yes. These small brown orbs as you put it are actually called life force and are what is used to create more minions. Sire have the browns gather the life force by sweeping them towards it, from there they will gather all of the life force."
Naruto nodded his head and commanded the browns to begin gathering the life force. As the first brown returned and Naruto came in contact with the life force, he became disoriented and fell to one knee as the browns continued to bring him the life force. As Naruto absorbed the last of the life force he stood back up.
"Ah I'm not surprised you fell sire. Most Overlords take time to become accustomed to having the life force stored in their bodies; however, because of that fact you can tell how many of each type of life force you have that you can use." Gnarl voiced off to naruto's left..
Hinata who was at his right whispered in his ear. "Naruto-kun are you ok, do you need help?"
"No I'll be fine just a little disoriented is all, but that doesn't matter let's continue on, we still need to meet up with the Gnomes."
"Ok Naruto-kun if you say so." Hinata responded back.
"I agree with Sire, We need to meet up with the Gnomes as soon as possible." Gnarl vocalised from the back of the group until the browns started scrambling all over the place and muttering unintelligible sentences.
"Gnarl what the hell are they doing?" Hinata questioned as Naruto's eye started twitching in annoyance.
"The minions only do this on one occasion and that's when a tower object is nearby...Master try pulsing your mana, if there is a tower object nearby you should be able to detect its magical aura."
"Should I try to do so too Gnarl?" Hinata asked the minion master who merely stared back at her in incomprehension. "I mean wouldn't the both of us pulsing our mana be a good idea so we can be certain of the exact location of the object."
At her second explanation Gnarl nodded his head and answered. "O' Yes I suppose that would be a good idea."
Neither Naruto nor Hinata needed any prompting as both pulsed their mana and within seconds had a reading on the magical aura of the tower object. However both pulsed their mana a second time, not believing where the aura was coming from, receiving a raised eyebrow from Gnarl. When they once again received the same message from the aura they both turned and stared at Gnarl in disbelief.
"Where is the object Sire?" Gnarl questioned.
"Gnarl you're not going to believe this, but the object…." Hinata trailed off.
"Is right above us." Naruto finished.
Gnarl stared at them in surprise before looking up. And behold above them was a blue pillar being held up by several pieces of ivy that were interconnected.
"Sire maneuver the browns beneath the object then once they are in position you and mistress need to shoot the ivy with some fireballs, that should burn through the ivy and allow the object to fall so that the browns can catch it."
Naruto listened to Gnarl's advice and directed 6 of the browns with them to stand beneath the object before he and Hinata freed the hanging object with several fireballs.
"Gnarl which tower object is this?" Naruto questioned while he and Hinata examined the object that was now being supported by the browns.
"This is a mana pillar Sire, but enough of that. Come on and follow me Sire, afterall you said so yourself, we need to reach the Gnomes." Gnarl said as he continued to hobble down the cave, followed by his Master and Master's Mistress.
-Back in Konoha: With Sasuke (Nightcore: In the end Black veil Brides)-
Sasuke could be seen walking across the expanse of Konoha. After hearing about the death of a classmate and how another was kidnapped, he decided that the best thing he could do was walk around the village. He quickly discovered this to not be true as it gave him time to think about what had happened, but the more he thought about it the more he came to a realization. Something about the story there were told was off. At the time he had been shocked at the news, but now that he had time to ponder over it he discovered a flaw in the story, there was no way in hell that Mizuki could beat Naruto plain and simple. He had seen Naruto's training regime several times before so he knew that Naruto was far better than he let on and was most likely the strongest person in the entire academy, and that included the teachers! Then there was the problem with Hinata. Sasuke and the rest of the class knew that she had a Konoha sized crush on the blonde. So much so that she would follow him around from time to time. However he had also seen Hinata's training both with and without her family, and while it was not as difficult as Naruto's She was easily the second strongest in the academy right after Naruto, her only problem really was her self-confidence! And he would say without a doubt that while the training with her family was tough, it had nothing on the training she did by herself. She trained almost exactly like Naruto meaning not only was she stealthy, but she was also very fast, strong, and agile. And that's why he knew something about the story involving Naruto and Hinata was off and he was willing to bet that wherever he found Naruto that Hinata was going to be right there beside him, neither of them would be taken down so easily, at least not without way more collateral than there was which would have alerted every ninja in the village especially if Naruto used either his blades or the Kyuubi's chakra. Yes he knew about the Kyuubi after watching her train Naruto out in the woods once and he had no problem with that fact, honestly he thought that all of the villagers were idiots for confusing the container with the kunai sealed inside of it so to speak. But that was neither here nor there, he had to discover was had actually happened to his classmates. Even if it meant leaving the village to do so.
-Elsewhere in Konoha-
Sakura Haruno was, to put it mildly, confused. Just earlier today she she was all pumped and excited to find out who her Jonin sensei was going to be and who her teammates were, and now here she was sad and confused about what she had heard about her former classmates. She had actually liked Hinata as a really good friend even if they didn't speak that much. Then there was Naruto. Initially she hadn't liked him because he was loud and obnoxious, but over time she became accustomed to his personality and, even though she would never admit it, she found his pranks quite charming and funny. As all of these thoughts raced through her mind, she finally arrived at her home and walked through the door only to run straight into her mother.
"O' hi honey, sorry I can't stay and talk but I need to go help your father at work. And please watch Miyuri, she's in her room currently." She said as she rushed out the door closing it behind her.
At hearing what her mother had asked of her she shivered. Don't get her wrong she loved everyone in her family, but her little sister by 2 years, Miyuri, scared the ever living shit out of her. Sakura decided to go ahead and check on her sister as she contemplated on her family. Typically Sakura and her sister were home alone most of the time because of her work-a-holic parents, both of which worked in the cryptanalysis department of the villages R&D department. There were actually times where her parents were so focused on their work that they forgot to buy the necessities needed for the house. It was at this point that she arrived at her sisters door and with a gulp knocked on the door.
"What?" The voice from the other side demanded.
"Um...uhhh...do...do you need anything M...Miyuri-chan?" Sakura stuttered out.
For several seconds there was no sound, but finally Miyuri opened her door to stand in the entrance and address her sister.
Miyuri stood at 5'7 with an hourglass frame, full C-cup breasts, shapely hips and ass, black ass length hair with silver highlights, silver iris's surrounding the pupils of her eyes, high cheekbones, pale red lips that were covered in lip gloss purple on the top and black on the bottom, and pale somewhat tanned skin. All in all she was a beauty to behold.
"No sister I don't' need anything so leave me alone." Miyuri replied as she began to shut her door.
"O'. Ok then…also my classmate Uzumaki Naruto was reported to have been killed and…...and my other classmate Hyuuga Hinata was kidnapped by the same person that killed Naruto…...I just figured you'd find it interesting." Sakura said, getting her sister to stop closing the door for a brief moment before she shut it all the way.
"I see. I thought you didn't like the boy and thought that the other was weird. Regardless leave me alone, I don't want you to disturb me." Miyuri commanded.
Sakura dejectedly said "hai" before trudging into the living room of their house.
Inside Miyuri's room Miyuri had just seated herself on her bed while gazing out the window towards the darkening sky and began to speak to herself.
"So you left the village have you Naruto-kun. Well you better come back soon, you still have a promise to keep." She muttered to herself with a faint smile gracing her lips before she returned to her previous activity, making new weapons and poisons for her dolls/puppets.
-Konoha: In general-
All across Konoha Iruka's former class was arriving home and began questioning their parents about what they had been informed of. While most of the civilians told their children not to worry about it and that it was unimportant, the shinobi parents explained to their children that that was how the world of Shinobi worked, with betrayals and death. As the day dragged into night all of the clan heirs learned 2 important lessons. 1. Todays friend could be tomorrow's enemy and 2. Keep your friends close but never expect to get scot free every time because eventually you will lose one of them. Today was a really sad day for the village indeed.
-Back with Naruto (Nightcore: Until the end Breaking Benjamin)-
The group once again found themselves surrounded by a pack of dire rats for the 5th time within the last 2 hours, except for this time they stood in the nest of the rats. They were determined to kill them off once and for all. However this time they may have gone in way over their heads as a giant dire rat scurried out of a hole in the wall.
"Master we may be in trouble, that is a Dire Rat King, but if we can kill it all of the dire rats in the area will disperse and for the most part leave us alone." Gnarl voiced from beside his master.
"This is going to be a pain…...Hinata I want you to pelt the king with fireballs for as long as you can. Gnarl, I want you and the remaining 4 browns and Giblet to hold of the minion rats, I'm going to help Hinata-chan slay the king." Naruto commanded.
"I'll do my best Naruto-kun, but I'm almost out of mana." Hinata acknowledged.
"Of course Sire." Gnarl acknowledged also.
"That's fine Hinata-chan just keep going until you can't anymore…...GO!"
Everyone dispersed with Naruto and Hinata dashing to the left while Gnarl and the Browns dispersed amongst the room to kill the rats.
The browns charged the dire rats and began clubbing and stabbing them left and right, killing some and enraging others, but overall doing their job as a distraction force. Meanwhile Naruto and Hinata were throwing fireballs and the giant rat who, surprisingly, was able to dodge the majority of the flaming balls of magic. In spite of that the king was becoming enraged by this point and released a deafening screech before charging the blonde and bluenette. Both rolled in different directions Naruto the left and Hinata the right allowing the Rat King to rsm into the wall and collapse it revealing 2 tower objects and a group of 6 more Browns. The rat king recovered fairly quickly though and scurried out of the hole it made, but a red glow out of the corner of its eye caught its attention causing the King to whip its tail at the source of the red glow and subsequently sending Hinata into the far side of the room where she connected with the wall, releasing a sharp cry of pain, and collapsed on the ground.
Naruto's eyes widened at the sight of seeing his friend harmed in such a brutal manner. "Hinata!" After several seconds of no response Naruto bowed his head and began to growl. Suddenly Naruto disappeared then reappeared behind the Rat King sending a large black fireball at it. The fireball connected with the King and elicited a dark grin from Naruto who was now standing to the side of the Rat Kings head tanto drawn and black flames traveling its length, strangely he didn't notice the silver scaling along his arm nor the fact that his eyes were glowing a dark ominous black.
"Suffer!" Naruto shouted as he decapitated the King with a large black arc of flames that spewed from his tanto.
As copious amounts of life force spilled from the now dead King, Naruto came back to his senses sheathed his blade and sprinted over to his downed friend.
"Hinata!" Naruto exclaimed as he began shaking his downed friend who began to moan and grumble and after several more seconds opened her eyes.
"Uhh, what hit me?" Hinata groaned as Naruto helped her sit upright.
"The rat King whipped you with its tail and sent you into the wall. After watching you get hurt like that I flipped…...The Rat King's body is still burning over there." Naruto told his friend.
Hinata turned her head in the direction Naruto was pointing and was met by the glorious site of the King's body burning in black flames.
"Thank You Naruto-kun, but why are the flames black?" She questioned the blonde who was unable to respond.
"That's because of his bloodline awakening even if it was only temporary." Gnarl answered.
"What bloodline Gnarl, you never mentioned one to me earlier." Naruto asked the minion master with a frown on his face and anger beginning to boil in his stomach.
"I'll inform you of more about it later when it truly awakens Sire." Gnarl said to placate his leader.
"Fine, but you owe me an explanation for this Gnarl." Naruto said as he commanded the browns to collect the dropped life force and after they finished gathering all of it to retrieve the 2 tower objects along with freeing a 6 other browns.
"Sire those objects will help us greatly once we retrieve the tower heart. The round one is a spell stone while the one that resembles the mana pillar is a health column." Gnarl said in a somewhat excited voice.
As the group readied themselves to exit the room Naruto suddenly felt a small spark of mana coming from the hole that the Rat King had entered the room from and decided to go check it out.
"Hold up Gnarl. I felt a spark of mana coming from over there...I'm going to go check it out." He spoke.
As he approached the hole he noticed that the small spark of mana began to reappear more rapidly the closer he became to the hole until he noticed something fly out of the hole and hover directly in front of him.
The creature before him resembled a small woman with an hourglass body, shapely hips and ass, moderate sized bust (for her body size), pale lips, blue hair with purple streaks, cheekbones just beneath her eyes, pale skin, black eyes, 1 small fang jutting out of the left side of her mouth, and purple wings with blue vein like lines . For clothes she wore a type of amazonian armor that covered her chest and just below it but still revealed a portion of her cleavage. On her waist she wore armor that covered her hips and the tops of her legs with thin lines stretching of the main body to form intricate patterns on both pieces of armor.
"Master, the creature floating in front of you is known as an Unseelie and judging from the way she looks and the feel of her mana I would say that she is a Shadow Unseelie." Gnarl spoke from Naruto's left, causing him to jump slightly.
"Yes I am. My name is Kari and I am the Queen of the Shadow Unseelie. Who are you?" Kari asked in a near emotionless tone.
"The one who you are floating before is Uzumaki Naruto the 18th Overlord and direct descendant of William Archan later known as William Black." Gnarl told the Unseelie Queen.
"The new Overlord huh. It's been quite some time since we have encountered an Overlord and even longer since we have helped you like we swore to your ancestor Kyle Black. I am very much interested on how you will achieve your goals and it's time that we upheld our promise to your ancestor. Okay Naruto I am going to bind myself to you." Kari told Naruto, who was confused by what she meant.
"Wait what do you mean by bind yourself to me?" He asked.
"She is going to absorb a small part of your mana and effectively meld her mana signature to yours meaning that if you die so does she, but she also feeds off of your mana which over time will make her stronger as the true abilities of your mana begin to unlock themselves." Gnarl told his leader.
"He's correct Naruto, now let's get this underway." Kari said before she inhaled a black light that floated into her mouth off of Naruto's body. "Mmmm." Kari moaned as she collapsed to her knees in bliss. "So he's one of those is he. He is very lucky indeed to be that type, but as it happens to be I have a gift for you Sire." Kari then flew back into the hole and reappeared moments later with a black gem clutched between her arms.
"Oooo. Sire take it, that's a shadow gem and it will help you out greatly with your bloodline." Gnarl told Naruto.
Naruto nodded his head and reached out for the gem which Kari easily dropped into his empty palm. But after a matter of seconds the gem began to glow brightly then melded into his skin causing him to collapse with a pained scream as a burning sensation crawled its way throughout his entire body before centralizing at the nape of his neck where the shadow gem was now resting comfortably. As Naruto returned to his feet with Hinata's help he noticed something off about his arms, primarily the faint silver scaling that ran up and down them.
"What the Hell! What's up with my arms!" Naruto yelled in surprise.
"That Sire is the awakening of your bloodline, which will now be progressing at a constant rate thanks to the shadow gem." Gnarl replied.
"What bloodline Gnarl!" Naruto yelled in rage as his eyes began turning an ominous luminescent black and black wisps began to form around his body.
"The bloodline of the highborn Dragon-kin. However now isn't the time to discuss this, we need to reach the Gnomes...I'll tell you more about your bloodline later Sire I promise.
"...You better Gnarl or you won't be living much longer." Naruto said as he motioned for Gnarl to start walking.
"Of course Sire." Gnarl then began walking off and was soon followed by Naruto, Kari sitting on Naruto's shoulder, Hinata, and the browns. The group walked for for several hours in silence, only stopping occasionally to deal with some stray dire rats, when they exited the cave they had been traveling through the entire time to stop on a ledge above a city.
"This is the home of the Gnomes Sire, the Gnomish city of Taklesh. Now come on, we still have to make it to the bottom."
Naruto followed Gnarl. Feeling anticipation well up in his stomach somehow he just knew that things weren't going to smoothly and strangely...it excited him.
