Hey guys and girls.

So the last place we left off was where Naruto had met up with Princess Alisha. Find the mark of the one who aided the Shepard resting on Naruto's left hand.

Completely excited to find the mark on Naruto's hand, and knowing that it wasn't lies or rumors, she has asked for Naruto's assistance. She feels that now that she has half of the puzzle, she can find the other half being the Shepard.

But Naruto wants non of it. He seeks only one thing. Clear his parent's name and retake his throne. But after Alisha struck a deal with him, things have taken a turn. The deal. Soldiers for Naruto's cause for his cooperation.

Not only that, but Naruto has been visited by the Outsider and has had his Void powers awakened. He even has awakened the power of the Void that has slept within him. And he now has the ability to use Blink. A short range of teleportation.

Enjoy.

Disclaimers: I own nothing.

Chapter 3: Heads In The Clouds.

Waking up to a new morning, Naruto found Alisha still sleeping. Simply shaking his head as he assesed his gear, Naruto got his weapons ready. Looking to his mark, he found the tribal circle tattoo encompassing the mark. He knew this power was incredible. But it was not what he saw it. He more saw such power to be a hinderance rather a convenience. A curse. A means of holding him back from his true potential. On top of that, if he knew correctly, they'd likely put a bastard who will be their puppet on the throne. From there, a new royal bloodline would be made.

Not only that, but the kingdom of Konoha was one of the most strongest in all the kingdoms. So should they decide to pull the strings, lands will become bloodied and a new age of terror would ensue from there. SO time was very much against him. Gettting Alisha up, Naruto and her mounted he only horse there was, wih Naruto of course being the one who steered the horse. Feeling Alisha wrap her arms around him and hold him close, gave Naruto's cheeks a slight dust of red, but he dismissed the feeling and commanded the horse to move.

The only reason he was doing this alliance with Alisha, was because he needed soldiers. People willing to help him take back his birthright being the throne of Konoha. But as they galloped to a set of rocky mountains to which Alisha stated was a gateway to where the Shepard was, Naruto thought back to what his fiance, Hinata said to him. She called him a monster. And to never see her again.

That was a rather nasty dagger to plunge into him. It still felt a nasty feeling within him whenever he thought of that. But he soon was brought out his thoughts when they came to a cave inside the mountain.

Dismounting, they went inside and soon found the place to be extremely dark. But that was when Alisha created a torch with some of the leftover items in the area and soon they were on their way. But as they moved along, Naruto placed a hand on his head as he heard a small whisper. Looking over to Alisha he got her attention.

"You talking to me?" questioned Naruto only to have Alisha shake her head.

"Nope. You probably imagining things." replied Alisha as they pressed further.

But once again Naruto heard a few more whispers with his vision getting a bit sharper. What the heck was going on? Colours soon began to distort while the noise in his head began to grow stonger. Alisha soon stopped and ran over to Naruto's side when she turned and found him holding onto the side of the cave.

"Naruto, you okay?" she asked while Naruto shook his head.

"I don't feel good. Feels like I can hear every voice in the world." said Naruto as he eyesight became more and more sharper with the colours becoming more and more distorted.

But soon enough, the noise stopped and Naruto found his eyesight to be ten times that was a normal human's. Looking to Alisha, he found her to be a yellow colour while he could also see her cone of vision. A voice sounded in his mind, but soon faded to be nothing.

Blinking his eyes, he found them to be back to normal. Giving it a small amount of concerntration, he found his vision stronger and everything going back to what it was when it first activated. And of course, what Naruto thought could be a supernatural being speaking into his mind.

"Naruto. Are you okay?" asked Alisha.

"I am now. But for some reason. My eyesight is more stronger than what it was. Also, I can see nearly everything ahead of us." replied Naruto as he looked around before deactivating the power and finding himself back in the dark cave.

"Hold on. Let me see something here." said Alisha handing over the torch to Naruto and pulling out the Celestial Records.

With a few notes etched into a few added pages, she scanned over the notes and soon found some of the abilities and powers that the Cursed Child held.

"Ah yes. According to the records I uncovered, the ability you have now is called Dark Vision. It gives you temporal access to increase the ability to perceive all things around you and grants temporal nightvision. However, as the vision is increased, the colour perceptions dull and you can only perceive a few colours." said Alisha.

To Naruto, this was proving to be incredibly useful. The ability to raise one's own sense of perception for a small price of losing colour indication, seemed a good deal. Even if it was temporal.

Alisha dismissed the torch and grabbed onto Naruto's sleeve and ensured she was kept close to him, even though she was slightly flustered from being up so close to him. But soon, they found themselves in an Oasis like layout with what was a tree in the middle with a pedastel. Deactivating his Dark Vision, Naruto kept a slight watch over the area as Alisha went about her litte ritual of admiring the artwork.

To Naruto, there wasn't really much to care about. All he saw was a rock and a tree in an open grassy area that was a bit cliche. But soon they were heading through a rocky entrance that emerged from the waterfall when Alisha touched the stone.

Naruto had to give he ones who crafted this thing. They sure knew how to make a cool entrance. But if he knew one thing. This was meerly a means to an end. He was just helping Alisha to get a few soldiers to aid him in battle. That was it. But for some reason, he could feel a sense of sanctuary. Like he could feel at peace, and be safe here. Looking to the marking he had on his left hand, he found it to be glowing a wonderful cyan blue with a small glow about it. It was like even the Void could feel that this place was meant to be kept safe. And safe it was kept.

But soon they stepped out and found them to be way up high in the sky. Looking around, the only thing they could see, was like a form of Elysium. Soft grass, crunched under their feet as a cool breeze pulled on their hair.

"It's the land of the Seraphim. I can't believe we found it." cried Alisha as she dashed about with happiness.

"Someone pinch me. I may be tripping hard." said Naruto as he looked about.

But he soon broke into a sprint when Alisha began to lose balance when she stepped wrong near the edge. Seeing the rocks under he feet about to give way, Naruto used Blink just as the rock gave way. Alisha found herself dangling on the side while Naruto left her by her wrist.

Giving it a valiant pull, Naruto yanked Alisha back up to the ground.

"Next time. Don't go running about." said Naruto as he breathed in and out rather sharply.

Pulling someone who will die and make you lose your only shot at getting an army would cause for a surge of everything you have. Alisha knew Naruto was right. In her absent mindedness, she discarded all sense of safety. She should've known better that she will most likely be entering into a world she had never known before. But then again, they felt nothing when they walked through the entrance. Must work similar to Naruto's Blink ability.

Without further delaying it, they pressed on and soon found that there were some ruins which seemed to match the ones in the Celestail Records. Naruto was really beginning to wonder as to how much longer until they found this Shepard. To him, every minute he spends playing hide and seek with a person that may not exist, the more his parents suffer. He had to get as much help as soon as possible.

And scene.

So Naruto and Alisha have found the exact whereabouts regarding the land of the Seraphim. And not only that, but Alisha nearly died because of being careless. If Naruto hadn't grabbed her and pulled her up like he did, someone would be scrapping her from the side of who knew where.

As well, Naruto has gained a new power. Dark Vision. And yes, it is the same Dark Vision that Corvo uses.

As well, Naruto is getting restless about finding this Shepard. The sooner he find this guy, the better he'll be in a position to help his parents.

Chapter 4: Trouble In Paradise.
