Floor 10

"Switch"

Naruto ran towards the green… plant? monster thing. It looked pretty disgusting. It was a green man that were a little shorter than Kirito. The only article of clothing they wore were rags that were only enough to hide the space between the beasts upper thighs and hips. It had three long leaves that seemed to grow from its scalp. With one rough thrust the man plant was destroyed.

The three "Beaters" had grown close over the past 9 floors. Especially Naruto and Asuna, they were even closer than when Kirito first joined the group if it was possible. When they weren't training, doing missions or hanging out with Kirito they were together. It was as if they were stuck together like glue. In all honesty Kirito was sort of jealous. Not that he had a crush on Asuna, he was jealous of the fact that even in this death game they were able to find each other and love each other. He wanted something like that but for now he would have to settle with his dream's. Right Naruto and the team getting ready for what promised be a tough fight. He knew the whole team was ready, they had all been training to complete exhaustion on numerous occasions.

He knew for sure that he was ready for whatever was going to be thrown his way. He personally was at level twenty four while Asuna was at level 22 and Kirito being at level 23. On a scale of 1 to 10 his "Shinobi skill" was pretty good. He had a 7 in ninjutsu due to the fact that he already knew some elemental ninjutsu and was allowed to use it in the game another reason he gave himself a 7 was the fact that he was allowed to use both of the kekkei genkai that the current Mizukage could (A/N: If you didn't know the kekkei genkai are Steam release and Lava release). Sadly his genjutsu skills were still nonexistent. It's not that he didn't want to learn the art he just couldn't control his chakra enough in the game. Even his control in real life would only allow him to use weak E-D rank genjutsu but his chakra reserves would allow him to cancel almost any of genjutsu. In taijutsu he would give himself an 8. He had chosen the the taijutsu style named the "Toad Style" in honor of his late Sensei Jiraiya the previous Toad Sage of Mount Myōbuku. It was basically a fighting style based on the way the toads fought. With strength in their legs they were able to hop (or in his case jump) away from danger and also using his legs he propel himself towards the enemy.

"Guy's, I think we should head back the raid is later today and I'd like be rested and ready." said the brunet of the group.

"Yeah you're right" agreed both of the 16 year olds. They turned towards the exit and started they're way to the entrance of the dungeon.

"ROOAAAR" The sound of an angry plant behind them startled everyone. All of the plant men had made noises like that, a roar sound. The only difference was that this one was a lot louder and deeper. Before they could turn around they were all forced against the wall by what seemed like thick vines. With their arms tied together they couldn't even reach for their weapons. Naruto however didn't need his weapon.

"Yoton: Moe Daeki" he forced out a fiery red liquid from his mouth causing it to burn through the vines. This was one of his kekkei genkai the lava release, it allowed him to release the mixture of fire based chakra and earth based chakra. The only problem was that it took more chakra than it should again due to his control. He had it a bit under what his control was in the real world. He wouldn't dare try and use "Yoton: Moe Daeki" to try and burn through his teammates binds. The jutsu allowed him to spit out a small amount of lava. Even if it was a small amount in this game a small amount could very much kill them.

The blonde finally took a good look at their attacker. It looked almost exactly like the other plant's but taller and obviously buffer. "Leaf tank" was what it was called and it had a star next to its name meaning it was a rare spawn. He decided he had enough of these green guy's and used the new jutsu he had learned recently. It was for his kekkei genkai Yoton. He slowly went through the hand seals and took in a deep breath, he could feel the burning liquid getting ready to leave his body.

"Yoton: Tsunami o nenshō" a large tidal wave made of pure rock and fire burned into the plant. It made another strange noise

"REEEECH" yelled the plant before the large amount of lava covered the plant completely enveloping it. The sign that told him what he got was shown in front of him he got a poisoned dagger. He was a bit disappointed because of the fact that he didn't get anything really useful but nonetheless finally he was happy he could finally leave with his girlfriend and buddy.

Kusa no Machi Floor 10

"Man those are some crazy skills Naruto" Said Kirito

"Yeah but I have to keep training if I want keep my promise" he muttered to himself. A while ago around the 8th floor some people in a newly formed guild. The guild was named The Moonlit Black Cats in the guild were five people. They all were almost killed when they were attacked by a group of monsters. Almost because right before the first person was killed the beaters defended them and killed the monsters. Keita, Sachi, Tetsuo, Sasamaru, and Ducker were all extremely appreciative of the of the trio. During lunch one of the guild members had decided if they couldn't even beat those low level monsters than what was the point of even trying to survive. The blonde being a good hearted man forced them to promise that they would survive and he promised that he would defeat the final boss and set them all free.

Right now he was laying down cuddling with Asuna on the couch with both of them wearing sleepwear. In his room Kirito was already asleep saying that he was tired. NOCK NOCK

"Who's at the door" Asuna asked, it was weird they weren't expecting company. They got up and went to the door to answer with Asuna taking the lead.

"Um who are you" Asuna asked, at the door stood a tall grey pony tail haired man with red eyes, They were completely red with on black pupil and five lines that branched out of it and made it look like a sun. He looked old but not so old that its weird to see him playing this game. The man wore silver heavy armor with black pants that matched Naruto's old one's. To go along with that outfit he had grey standard warrior boots.

"I'm here for Namikaze-sama" Naruto had finally reached the door and had heard the part about Namikaze.

"Mmmmmm… where have I heard that name before" she put her index finger on her cheek. The blonde in the room was extremely nervous, if Asuna were to remember what Kayaba had said on their first day in Sword Art Online about "Heir To the Namikaze Clan" then he would have to fight the onslaught of questions. Some of those questions would force him to explain his profession to her now rather than later which he did want to happen (the latter) The grey haired man pointed at Naruto.

"There he is" The man said, this gave Naruto a sheepish look.

"Sorry Asuna-chan I forgot to tell you I have two last names Uzumaki, and Namikaze"

"Mr. Namikaze can you take a walk with me" asked the man. For the first time he looked into the man's eyes.

"The Sharingan" Naruto whispered

"Is everything alright Naruto-kun" Asuna asked when she saw Naruto's distress.

"No everything's fine Asuna-chan" he didn't want to bring Asuna into this trouble because if that really was the sharingan than he would be in for a hard fight. He quickly gave Asuna a peck on the lips and was on his way with the man.

Naruto and the man walked down the street in silence. Neither attempting to open a conversation making it awkward.

"Ok who are you how do you have the sharingan and how do you know me" naruto asked angrily, who the hell was this guy.

"Who doesn't know the hero of the leaf" That ticked Naruto off. He quickly pushed him against a wall, and put one of the poison kunai at his throat. The man put his hands in the air as he sensed the danger.

"Woah woah how about you put down the weapon and let me explain"

"Five minutes" he answered in a low voice.

"Well my name is Akihiko Kayaba but I come from the hidden leaf village and my real name is Akihiko Yamanaka. Using my clan jutsu I created this game, unfortunately I was also forced into a genjutsu by Madara Uchiha. He did this because he followed you when you first came to the new land and when he found out that the only force in the leaf that had a chance against him could be put down beforehand without the need for him to actually fight he jumped for it. I can only control myself when in the game but outside I'm at his mercy" he said at the end with a frown. It truly was a shame so many people killed because of his game, a game he created for people to be closer. He felt like the whole world had separated and if he could make this game than he would be able to bring everyone closer together. In the end he was just a puppet for those accursed eyes.

"So it's true that Madara truly is still alive and he took control of this game to me, but that still doesn't explain why you have the sharingan"

"It's a sign that he's my master"

"Okay well i guess I'm going to trust you but the moment you start any funny business I'll end your life" before they could continue Akihiko went to the ground and looked like any of the Hyuuga Branch clan member when someone uses their curse seal.

"I-It's Madara I have to go" he promptly did so and signed himself out of the game, leaving the blonde to an empty street. 'I guess he really was telling the truth if he was forced to the ground like that' was what he thought as he walked back to the apartment with his hands in his pocket.

Outside Boss Room Floor 10

He didn't know why but Naruto could feel a large amount of deja vu. Him getting ready to fight a strong boss and a strong leader prepping everyone. Today he decided for an outfit change, not that it was much of a difference. Now he wore a trench coat that matched his fathers, it made him feel powerful but of course that might be due to the buffs the coat had them being +2 strength and +! Stealth. The new leader, like Diabel was a beta tester and just like him no one in the raid knew of his being a beta tester. However unlike Diabel the man was a red head and had dark skin. His name was Yamato, and just like his friend in real life Yamato the man was a natural born leader.

"Alright guys get ready, remember the rules I put down and listen to me out there, we all know this isn't a real game anymore so who's ready" he yelled. There was a loud yell of "HAI". With that the entire raid force rushed towards the room and stopped when everyone had. The inside was a huge rounded room with grass everywhere and an enormous tree in the center. As soon as everyone was inside the vines at the side of the door grew and blocked the exit. The huge tree opened his eye and unfortunately in the place of where the eye should be sat the almighty rinnegan. This pushed anger through Naruto, to him it was like they were making fun of Nagato. That was NOT alright in his book, Nagato was a man who had strived for world peace even if he went down the wrong path to try and reach his dream. In the end Nagato was a better human than most of the villagers the sage had tried to protect. With all this in his head he was the first to charge the huge tree. His attack was enough to knock everyone else out of their stupor.

"Wind Style: Air Slash" He yelled as a large slash of chakra enhance wind cut a vine that was attacking a random player. Before anyone could go further a vine impaled a man and then another and another.

"Retreat" was heard throughout the boss room, The group minus three jumped back just barely dodging the few vines that tried to kill the rest. Cutting the vines only seemed to do at most 5 points of damage and with a monster that had 20000 health points that wouldn't be enough. Not even with his chakra enhanced speed could the blonde out run the vines. But they seemed to have a limit to their length 'Kinda like Shikamaru's shadow' he thought.

Another two people had died and the boss's life wasn't even passed the ¾ mark. This was going bad, he saw Asuna as she entered the the area where the vines could reach. She ran at her top speed and jumped as high as the distance that the vines couldn't reach on the ground, and to his surprise the vine's couldn't reach her. That is until she came down. She came down and hit the tree's bark, this attack alone did twice the amount they all had done together since they started the fight.

"Ahhhhh" yelled a familiar female voice screamed.

"Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" The boss room was attacked by antire raids of shadow clones, in reality they were all decoys so that the original Naruto could save his chestnut haired girlfriend. He quickly brought her back to what he called the "Safe Zone". From that attack she earned a poison debuff that wasn't fatal but it slowed her down and made her lose a little bit of life every five minutes. All around him people were staying as a far away from the tree as possible not wanting to end up like their fallen comrades.

"Asuna you can't be doing that you could have gotten yourself killed please, just stay here" He made two more clones to stay by her side while he went to fight. He had to beat this boss fast, because if he didn't Asuna and most likely everyone would die.

"Suiton: Dāku-numa" The ground underneath the tree turned to water.

"Raiton: Kyōryokuna Ima" The body of water was shocked by the lightning of his Raiton Jutsu.

"Kirito!" He said calling over his fellow "Beater".

"I have an idea, just follow me"

The blonde ran at the tree with great speed that was only matched by Asuna who specialized in speed. With Kirito behind him the blonde ran on branches that were off the ground, apparently for now they were clear. The huge tree was still gathering its bearings which meant that it couldn't protect itself from the onslaught of attacks courtesy of Naruto Uzumaki and Kirito, the attack's brought its health down to 50% and it also put the tree back on track. Just like any other boss they had fought, the tree changed its attack pattern by adding in mobs that helped it and a new attack (It's the green guys from earlier). The invasion of green plant men was enough to get the cowering men of the raid to help attack. Some even going to attack the boss. The new attack killed off a few men. Every few minutes a bunch of razor sharp leaves would rise up and be launched at the players. Naruto looked black at Asuna and noticed her health going below green and entering orange. He sliced the head off another plant-man .

'I have to finish this now' he thought as he jumped onto the wall and used chakra to stick. He ran up the dome shaped ceiling until he was standing directly over the tree, the vines didn't even try to reach him knowing that they had no chance at reaching him. He made a clone and made a "Kaze Bōrusupairaru" and had the clone use "Katon: Raitā", together it made a ball of spinning fire. While it wasn't as powerful as the Rasengan it was still pretty powerful. He liked to call this combo:

"Katon: Bōrusupairaru!" he yelled as he released his chakra from the ceiling and pushed himself towards the larger tree. He pushed the ball down and down deep into the core of the tree but the attack was being blocked by the bark and the jutsu started to falter a he was stabbed by a vine and then another. 'Come on HARDER', and with that the tree popped out of existence along with the tree's minions.

Just like the first floor everyone was cheering and happy except for Asuna and Kirito who were trying their best to heal their fallen comrade. Finally after what seemed like an eternity for Asuna Naruto started coughing.

"H-How many did we lose" he coughed out which made everything deathly quiet.

"Fifteen men' said a man quietly, 'Fuck' another fifteen innocent people were murdered by the akatsuki. Naruto knew that he had to get out of there soon because right now the akatsuki could be attacking the hidden leaf. Right now they could be hurting his precious people and he could not and would not just stand and allow that.

Unknown Location (real world)

Madara Uchiha smiled at the sphere he had stolen from the Konoha

"Good job Naruto-Kun"

A/N: Hey people yes I know I'm late but I had projects to do so don't blame me blame the educational system of America. I will be going deeper into that encounter with the Moonlit black cats and they will eventually become an important factor in the story but for now they are just a memory. Another thing is that no Akihiko Kayaba is not an evil guy in this fanfic because I always thought they could have done so much more with his character. Ummm yeah ask any questions through personal messaging or ask it in the reviews and thank you guys for getting me up to 100 follower. Review, Follow and Favorite .
