Naruto appeared on the Spawn Point. He sees an edge and aimed his Hero Shot and began to ink a path before he fell and when he landed, he noticed a tiny sponge. Naruto blinked a few times.
"That there is a sponge!" Cuttlefish stated, which made Naruto think he is a bit crazy.
"I know it is a sponge, Cap." Naruto replied before adding "What should I do with it?"
"Oh yeah…" Cuttlefish said sheepishly "If you hit it with your ink, it will enlarge."
Naruto nods and hit it with his ink. The sponge immediately grew in size and it was completely orange, dripping with ink. He went up it in his squid form and when he gets to the top, he sees two of those pod robots charging at him. Naruto splat both in no time before they could get close and managed to ink the sponge. He made it to the top of the sponge and sees two Octotroopers, though they had two tentacles than a normal one. Naruto began to fire but found he was out of range. However, one of the Twintacle Octotroopers fired at Naruto and while he missed, Naruto began to fall when the purple ink hit the sponge.
'So they shrink when other ink hit them.' Naruto thought as he fell off the sponge before turning to it and refilled it with orange ink. When he got to the top, he jumped to the platform and off the sponge. Then he came around the left side of the wall and splat the two Twintacle Octotroopers. He hit the next checkpoint and inked a sponge and went up and inked another sponge before finding another platform and splat the Twintacle Octotroopers in a surprise attack as well as the box. Then he began to continue to go up another two sponges and went to the launchpad on the top platform and went flying to the top left and lands on another checkpoint at the farthest side of the stage.
Naruto jumped down and landed and began to ink the ramp in front of him and went up it before landed in a circle. He sees a sponge in the middle and two Octoballs, who spotted him and began to roll towards him. He began to ink the sponge and when it was good size, the Octoballs hit it instead of Naruto and the Octoball on the left went into Naruto's ink and got splat by Naruto. Naruto went to the left side to sneak up on the Octoball but couldn't find him behind the sponge and went to the right and see the Octoball in his ink so he splat him. Naruto began to head up the sponge and inked the wall before heading up and got to the top.
"Oh, I nearly forgot… Enemy attacks causes sponges to shrink!" Cuttlefish told Naruto late.
This made Naruto face palm to the ground before getting up "Why didn't you tell me the moment you told how to go up the sponges!?" Naruto demanded.
"It… slipped my mind." Cuttlefish chuckled nervously. This made Naruto face palm again before he got up.
"How does that work?" I asked as I heard it from my computer. My appearance was now different, though.
I looked like an Inkling now. I had peach skin and my hair was similar to Naruto's, with the ponytail, but my color was white with the tip of my tentacles being purple. My eyes were neon green. I wore a zip hoodie but it was the color of black with the white "DE" symbol on the top of the arms. I also wore Octoling Boots. I had the Octoling Goggles but not on, revealing I have Octoling markings around my eyes.
I looked at the camera "Oh, this is my Inkling form. Though it is the mix of a Inkling Boy and Octoling, I wanted it to be good. I just hope one day in the future, the creators of Splatoon 1 and 2 make an Octoling Boy. Even better, being able to play as an Octoling with DJ Octavio as your mentor like Cuttlefish is."
Naruto rolled his eyes before inking the sponges to form a bridge. When he made it to the other side, he sees three purple ink warping in when they came out as Octoballs. Naruto fired, knocking the Octoballs away from him and into the circle platform. There, he splat them one by one when they got into his ink and when he finished them and popped the balloon, a launchpad appeared and he was sent flying. When he hit another checkpoint, he jumps to the ground and splat the two pod robots and when he got on the orange inked sponge, he noticed it was on a metal fence surface.
'I wonder…' Naruto thought before swimming up to the top of the sponge and sees two Octotroopers. He began to wave his hands at them, which got their attention and they fired and missed Naruto while hitting the sponge, shrinking it and allowing Naruto to go through the metal fence. He destroyed the box down there and it revealed a Sunken Scroll. Naruto stored it and went up to the revealed Launchpad. He went flying out of the metal fence and landed on solid ground in front of the sponge. He shot the sponge and made it go to its' full size. Naruto went up it and splat the two Octotroopers and inked the wall to go to the top. When he made it up, he sees a launchpad and went to it.
When he was launched, he landed on a nearby platform and sees a large field up flying sponges and three Octocopters patrolling the top of the platforms and a Twintacle Octotrooper patrolling behind a wall. Naruto splat the first three sponges, gaining the attention of a single Octocopter that began to fly towards him. He splat that one and went to the right sponge and splat the other two. Then he inked the two sponges to the right and middle and jumped to the middle. Then he inked the left sponge and then he sees the Twintacle Octotrooper firing at him. He managed to dodge but he had to ink his sponge or he would fall. So after inking it more, he jumped to the right sponge and jumped onto the platform and splat the Twintacle Octotrooper while he wasn't looking.
He inked up a ramp hit the checkpoint and found four Octotroopers on sponges but there was a turret for him to use. Naruto grinned and went into the turret and began to pilot it.
"Here we go… Let 'em have it!" Cuttlefish shouted.
Naruto fired the turret at the right and it not only splat the Octotrooper but it enlarged the sponge. He fired at the middle right, then middle left, and then the left. Once all four were splat, he took aim at the middle and fired, enlarging the sponge while popping a balloon. Then he took aim at the flying Octocopters and fired, splating both at the same time, clearing the way to the Zapfish.
"Oho!" Cuttlefish chuckled with a smile "Now go and grab that Zapfish!"
Naruto got out of the turret, inked a path to the edge of the platform and began to jump sponge to sponge in his squid form. When he made it to the final platform, he inked a path up to the zapfish and freed the zapfish from its' container and grabbed it.
Naruto exit out of the kettle and looked at the Sunken Scroll he had.
'The Terrifying Biology of the Inkling!'
'Limbs: Can leap up to 1.5m.' 'Brain: Simple and hedonistic'
'Bones: None.' 'Eyes: Can spot prey from 100m away'
'Defense: High-pressure, high-capacity ink sack'
Naruto eyes widen at the biology shown before him.
'I have no bones, at all?' Naruto thought as he looked at himself.
"Agent 3, it is time to head home." Cuttlefish said on the comms.
Naruto nodded his head "I'll be there, Cap'n."
Naruto began to walk away, heading back to home.
Hello everyone and that is another chapter done. I hope you are liking the series so far. Anyway, have a nice day.
Callie and Marie: "Staaaay fresh!"
…
Meanwhile…
Callie and Marie were returning to home when they couldn't help but think about Naruto.
'Perhaps I'll ask for a date?' Marie thought to herself 'Don't need to rush forward into things.'
'Maybe I'm skip the dating and get out what he can do.' Callie thought as naughty thoughts filled her brain, making her blush which didn't go unnoticed by Marie.
"Hey Callie?" Marie called, getting her cousin's attention "What are you thinking about?"
"That's none of your business, Marie." Callie replied and looked away.
"You're thinking of Naruto, aren't you?" Marie asked, getting a sigh from Callie.
"Yeah, I am…" Callie muttered in sadness "I can't help but feel so sad for his history. I just can't help but feel that I should-"
"Help him." Marie finished with Callie saying the same thing, making her look at Marie "I feel the same."
"You have a crush on him, don't you?" Callie asked.
Marie sighed "I guess we both do. We may be opposite of each other, but we can both agree that Naruto needs us."
"What were you planning to do?" Callie asked to her cousin in curiousity.
"Well," Marie said while blushing a bit "I was thinking of going out on a date with him, keep the whole relationship thing slow so we can get the know each other."
"Really?" Callie asked before blushing "I was thinking opposite."
"Oh Callie," Marie groaned at her "were you really going to skip the whole date thing and get laid with him off the bat? We know NOTHING about him, aside the fact he's not from around here and he has had a terrible childhood!"
"Well, we can agree that we need to support him." Callie said as she and Marie finally made it home. They knew they were going to support Naruto, in more ways than one.
