My update is pretty late this time, too. I am a bit busy these days. I don't have much time to write. Future updates will be also slow. Sorry about that. Anyway, enjoy the story.

I don't own Naruto.

I don't own Fate/Stay Night, too. :)

Chapter 4: Forming Alliance

"We aren't too late, are we?" said Naruto. He then dashed towards the Servant to slice her arm.

But, the girl dodged it and it only made a scratch on her arm. She jumped towards the woods and run away.

"Man, the fight hasn't even started yet," said Naruto disappointedly as he walked back to Shirou and Saber.

"Master, your hand, it's bleeding," said Saber.

"Don't worry about it. It will be fine," said Shirou.

"But, ..."

"Shirou is right, Saber. His wound has even started closing up." said Naruto as he pointed the hole in Shirou's hand.

When she looked at it, it was healing really fast. She could see the hole becoming smaller and smaller.

"Hell, your healing ability is as fast as mine." said Naruto.

Naruto then sensed someone coming towards them.

"Someone is coming." said Naruto as he went into his fighting stance.

"Wait, guys, It might be Tohsaka." said Shirou. It appeared he was right. They could see Tohsaka running in their direction. Naruto sheathed his sword.

"Shirou." said the girl. "Your hand ... it's already closing up." She couldn't believe his wound had almost completely healed.

"So, Rin-chan, what are you doing here?" asked Naruto.

The girl was caught off guard by that question and slightly blushed.

"Worried about Shirou and came to save him?" teased Naruto.

"No! It's not like that. It's just ... I want to see that he is dead or not. So I can kill him myself if he is still alive!" shouted Rin.

"Alright, alright, jeez. Can't even take a slight joke?" said Naruto.

"Anyway, Master, we have to go home. It's dangerous to stay here." said Saber.

"Okay, so what about Tohsaka? She didn't bring her Servant today. She is also in danger after what had happened. So, who will escort her to her home?" asked Shirou.

"I wi-"

"Wait!" shouted Rin. "I will come with you." she said with a slight pink on her cheeks.

"Huh?" asked Naruto.

"It's... It's not like that! Both our identities have been exposed. So, I just thought that we should form alliance until we discover whose Servant she is." said Rin.

"No, Master. She is an enemy. We shouldn't form an alliance with an enemy. She will betray us later on." said Saber.

Shirou went into his thinking pose.

"Come on, Don't be so mean, Saber-chan. She won't betray us. Besides, I don't even sense negative emotions coming from her. She is pretty clean." said Naruto.

Shirou thought about it for a while.

"I think Naruto is right, Saber. We should form an alliance with her. That would be the fastest way to discover who that Master is." said Shirou.

"Come on, Let's discuss the strategy at home, Tohsaka." Shirou said with a smile. Tohsaka's eyes lit up. Shirou started to walk in the direction of his house followed by Tohsaka.

"But... but...Master, it's-" said Saber.

"Come on, Saber. Don't be so tense. Have faith in our Master." said Naruto. "Besides ..." Naruto whispered something into her ears. Her eyes widened and her cheeks turned pink.

"Let's go. We might lose them if we keep talking." said Naruto as he started walking.

Saber nodded and followed him.

"So, you also sensed that, too, huh?" asked Tohsaka.

Shirou nodded. "When I entered into the schoolyard, I had that strange choking feeling." said Shirou.

"That might only be-" said Tohsaka.

"A barrier!?" interrupted Naruto.

"Yes, Naruto. More importantly, once it is activated, it will suck out the should of everyone at school. Eventually, ...they will die."

Naruto and Shirou's eyes widened at it and shouted "I can't let that happen!" at the same time.

"I don't plan on just watching, either." said Tohsaka. "The barrier still looks incomplete, so we might be able to delay it."

"Delay? But how?" asked Shirou.

"Imm ... I think destroying the sigils will delay its activation." said Tohsaka.

"Sigils?" praised Shirou.

"Yes, whenever barriers are created, sigils are also created inside it. And it will spread out, making the barrier stronger." answered Tohsaka.

"Wow, Tohsaka-chan, you have learned a lot in just one day." praised

"What do you think I am doing, staying that late in school?" she asked back. "Anyway, by doing so, we will be able to lure out the Master who is behind all this."

The others nodded.

"Alright, so meet me after school on the rooftop. We'll search and destroy them."

"Okay ... um .. so you are going home?" asked Shirou.

"Of course I am! Are you expecting me to stay here!?"

"No no no. It's not like that. It's-"

"I will escort her back, Don't worry, Shirou." interrupted Naruto.

"Nah, it's okay. Archer will here soon enough." said Tohsaka.

"Oh, if u say so... I will be going back to my room." said Naruto.

"I wonder how that guy is doing by now." Naruto whispered to himself, laughing like an evil.

"Um .. Naruto, why are you laughing?" asked Tohsaka.

"Uh, um ... it's nothing. I am gonna sleep. It's pretty late now. Good night, Shirou." said Naruto as he rushed to his room.

"Um, Okay. Good night, Naruto." said Shirou.

When Naruto reached his room, he laid on his bed. He put his hand on his forehead and started to think about what happened today.

'Man, I shouldn't have shunshinned with her. Since chakra is so much more potent and powerful, that might have taken a lot of mana from her.' thought Naruto.

Soon after they reached home, Saber collapsed due to the amount of her mana loss. Naruto had to carry her to her room. Since Shirou can't replenish mana for her, she had to sleep to minimize the mana loss.

'Good Night, Saber.'

Saber was still lying on her bed although she had woken up. She was deep in thought.

'That technique, even with that small technique, it took a lot of my mana.' thought Saber. 'But, Naruto, he doesn't even seem to be affected by that. I am so weak. I have to become stronger. Or else, I will fail again.' She gritted her teeth.

She had already failed to protect her country when she was alive. Now she is a Servant. She has to protect her Master. She didn't want to fail as a protector anymore.

'Naruto, he is strong, stronger than anyone I have ever seen. But, if he would even be defeated, how strong is that Madara that he spoke of.' thought Saber.

When her wounds were healed the previous day, she came looking for Naruto to thank him. But, she overheard the conversation of Naruto and Shirou.

'I will need to train harder. My sword skill can still be improved if I train harder. One day I will catch up with you.' thought Saber.

She turned around to make herself comfortable.

'Good Night, Naruto.'

With that final thought, she closed her eyes.

"I see, so that's your plan, Master." said Saber.

Shirou nodded.

"We are going to find out who that Master is." With that said, Shirou left for school.

He was walking towards his school. He then saw that Tohsaka was also on her way to school. She was wearing her school uniform, which is a red shirt and a knee length black skirt.

"Oh, Tohsaka!" he shouted as he waved at her.

"Shirou?" she said as she walked towards him.

"You alright? You seem a bit down." said Shirou.

"I am Okay... It's just that ... Can I asked you a question?" she said.

"Sure, go ahead."

"Um ... are all the papers at your house explosives?" she asked.

"Huh? Explosives? I am never seen a paper that explodes." said Shirou confusedly.

"You don't know!? So whatever you do, don't EVER touch them. It's will kill you immediately."

"Um ... okay, thanks for worrying about me. But which paper are you talking about?"

"The ones at the entrance."

"Oh, that?"

"You know?"

"I don't know. But, I saw some strange papers at the entrance today. I think ... it's Naruto's doing. He told me that he will set some traps around my house. So that might be one of them."

"Grhhh ... really!? My Servant almost got killed because of that."

"umm ... sorry?"

"I am going now. Meet me at the rooftop after school." she said as she stomped her way, towards the school.

Unknown to them, someone was watching them through the crystal ball.
