Chapter 10 My job is…
Naruto is now going back to Gensokyou as he prepares himself for a trip
"You are going?" Asked Reimu
"Yeah… I need to do that Job Changing quest." Said Naruto
"And is there a reason why you are packing?" Asked Reimu
"Oh, this… because I have no idea how long I need to do the quest so this is a precaution." Said Naruto
"I see… Oh, and by the way, it was decided who will go to the Final to watch you." Said Reimu
"Really? Who?" Asked Naruto
"You have to wait and see…" Said Reimu as she going back to fix dinner
And on the day after, Naruto going to the forest outskirt of the human village. Before he could open the gate, he then heard
"You are here again?" Asked a voice
"Oh… Mokou?" Asked Naruto looking at Mokou
"Honestly… the Lost Forest is not a playground. This place full of Yokai, don't you know?" Asked Mokou
"Well… this is the only place that isolated to the human village after all." Said Naruto
"You're saying like you are not human…" Said Mokou
"I highly doubt that most of the residents of Gensokyou are human at the begin with…" Said Naruto chuckling
"Point taken…" Said Mokou "So are you going to train?"
"Yeah… So can you…" Said Naruto
"Yeah yeah… I'll make sure no one is here." Said Mokou waving her hand
"Thanks…" Said Naruto smiling as he going inside the Gate.
"That idiot…" Said Mokou scratching the back of her head walking away
(Konoha)
"Hokage-sama… Can you tell me where's Naruto? I expected him to ask me to train him but he didn't even come to find me at all." Said Kakashi
"Kakashi… you do know that the council is going to order you to train Sasuke right?" Asked Sarutobi
"Yes… but I want to at least give him some scrolls to train." Said Kakashi
"While that is good and all… but Naruto had already had a plan." Said Sarutobi
"What do you mean by that Hokage-sama?" Asked Kakashi
"Before you came here, I already ask Naruto about his training for the month and he said he already had something in mind. Even when I asked him, he doesn't want to answer at all. He didn't trust me because of the Kyuubi secret." Said Sarutobi
"So he really did know. But still…" Said Kakashi
"Kakashi… I know that this is hard, but all we can do is wait until the final." Said Sarutobi
"… Yes, Hokage-sama." Said Kakashi
"Now go… won't want the council breathing down your neck because you're late to train Sasuke, won't you?" Said Sarutobi breathing his pipe
(Naruto)
Naruto is now fighting one of the armored knights as he is now having a hard time with just his Dagger
'Great… this thing wearing armor so my dagger can't penetrate.' Though Naruto 'I guess there's one thing I can do.'
Naruto putting his Dagger away as he then speeds up to the knight as he tore the armor apart.
"This enemy is nothing much. It's more like… a doll than a monster. But the armor making it tougher for me. Not to mention the condition too…" Said Naruto
You can't leave until you finish the dungeon
Warning: Potions, shop are restricted. You won't receive status recovery when leveling up.
"This job changing quest is harder than I thought it would be. I need to be careful." Said Naruto
"You should have got something to fight power to power in the first place." Said Kurama
"I know… but first I need you to boost me up. After all, I need to deal with the other welcome community." Said Naruto looking at the knight group start to marching to him
After Naruto got boost up by Kyuubi, he's capable of crushing the knight with just his fist and then looting a Gold coin pouch and an old chest plate armor.
Naruto senses suddenly pick up hostile as he pulls out his dagger stabbing upward killing…
"A ninja? There's actually a ninja here?" Said Naruto surprise as he then had to dodge a fireball aim at him
"Even a mage?!" Said Naruto
'This is bad. Knight for the tank, Ninja for stealth, Mage for long-range magic attack… I need to be careful. One slip up and I could be dead.' Though Naruto as he then suddenly caught an arrow sailing at him
"Oh for the love of… archer too?!" Said Naruto crushing the arrow
Naruto then brings up his Dagger as he speeds to them slicing them all. After that, he then marches to the magician as he killing them.
After a while, Naruto managed to kill them all as he is looking for the item.
"Most of them are money pouch so I guess it's better than nothing…" Said Naruto tiredly as he drinks a bottle of water and eating bread
"Be careful Kid. There's a nasty one behind the door." Said Kurama
"I know…" Said Naruto standing up as he opens the door
Inside is a throne room with an empty throne in the middle of the room. And then, a red armored knight walking out from behind the throne as it looking at Naruto with deep, cold red eye
"Like you said Kurama… this guy is no joke at all." Said Naruto as he could only laugh at this situation
The knight drawing his sword out as he walking in front of the throne as a word on his head appeared: 'Blood Red Commander Igris'
'A dark red name?! Yikes… this guy must be a quite high-level one.' Though Naruto
The knight then charges at Naruto with his sword as Naruto crouched down to dodge as he cleaving through the pillar easily.
'Seriously?! What kind of strength is this?' Though Naruto shocked as he then suddenly had to dodge another strike as he rolling back.
The knight already in front of him as Naruto dodge aside as he stabs his dagger upward to the torso.
'Damn it… Like I thought, I can't penetrate his armor with just this. I need to find another way.' Though Naruto as he skids back and putting away his dagger
The knight saw that as he putting away his sword and throw away his cape as well.
"Chivalry? This guy doesn't take me seriously at all?!" Said Naruto
The knight then speeds up to Naruto shocking him as he putting his guard up to block the attack as he was slammed into the wall.
Naruto uses his strength to kick the knight off as he panting.
"This is crazy. This guy even has his armor on and he's faster than Lee at 5th gate. His punch is even stronger too." Said Naruto
"It's more than that. I think he's even stronger. Strong enough to be at the Gensokyou resident level." Said Kurama
"Great…" Said Naruto as he using 'Sprint' and 'Accelerate' to speed up.
Naruto and the knight trading blow after blow with their fist across the whole room as he then delivers a kick to his head. But the knight not only didn't feel it but he also grabbing Naruto leg and throwing him to the throne
Naruto coughs out blood as he slowly slides down not moving. The knight appeared beside Naruto as he recalls his sword back and swings down upon Naruto neck.
Naruto then suddenly wake up as he grabbing the sword sending shockwave upon impact.
"I… Won't… Lose… my life… HERE!" Said Naruto stabbing his 'Rasaka Dagger' at the knight eye making him scream out
Naruto takes that opportunity to take out a kunai wrapping with explosive tag and then stabbing the other eye. He then grabs the 'Rasaka Dagger' as he kicks the knight away drawing the dagger out and the kunai exploded.
He then used 'Sprint' and 'Accelerate' again to speed up and then thrusting the Dagger upward under the knight helmet.
"Kurama… boost me now!" Said Naruto
"Already on it!" Said Kurama boosting Naruto up as Naruto punching upward to pressing the Dagger deeper inside the helmet. Naruto gritting his teeth as he using all of his strength boosting with Kurama chakra as he pushing it deeper.
The knight struggle for a minute and then dropping down with white steam out of the helmet.
You have killed the 'Blood-red Commander Igris'
You have level up X3
Naruto could only sigh out in relief as the alarm appeared.
"That… was close. It was pure luck that I managed to win against this guy. I think this guy could fight Meiling equally and not fall behind either." Said Naruto
"Let's see… Loot, loot…" Said Naruto as he checks the drop
Item: Leather Pouch
Inside contain 1.500.000
"Oh wow… this is nice." Said Naruto
Item: Red Knight Helmet
Rank: S

"YES! S-rank equipment. Oh, this is so cool!" Said Naruto immediately equipped it
Item: Dominator's Touch
Rank: B-

Allow you to control object
"This skill is… quite vague. I don't understand at all." Said Naruto
Item: Health Stone
A stone allows you to leave the dungeon immediately ending the job quest. Warning: If job quest end, the dungeon will be destroy
"A health stone? But isn't this the Boss room already? Unless… the quest is not over yet?" Asked Naruto looking around
Dark portals suddenly appeared inside the room as an alarm go off
Job changing quest will now begin. The longer you last, the more point you will have to land you on a higher-tier job
"Wait… last?!" Said Naruto looking at the counter appeared
Good luck
00:00:01
Many knights stepping out of the portal as they slowly marching to Naruto
"Huh… so this is the real Job changing quest. Sure hope these things are not like Igris." Said Naruto as he uses 'Stealth' to buy time
But the mage didn't feel like letting him do so by using 'Detection'.
"Shit! The Mage forcing me to appear. Look like I have to deal with them first." Said Naruto
Naruto was about to speed up but a knight then hit him on the back makes him jump back
"Damn it. These things already came out of the gate this much." Said Naruto as he using 'Bloodlust'
The skill brings out the effect as Naruto starts to tear them apart.
"My HP and MP are still low from fighting with Igris. And I even have to maintain the 'Bloodlust' skill as well.
"Kurama… can you boost me up?" Asked Naruto
"Your body can't handle much more pressure kid. If I give you my chakra now, your body will break down for sure." Said Kurama
"Gah…" Said Naruto as he was hit by a hammer at his side making him fall down
"This is bad. My body not responding at all." Said Naruto as he trying to stand up
"Hang on Kid. I'm healing you as fast as I can…" Said Kurama
The knight starts to gather as they rapidly beat Naruto up. Naruto tried to defense and attacking them but the number was too great.
As Naruto is now at his last leg, one knight then swinging his sword to him cleaving him breaking the armor on him
The wound not too deep because he skids back as he holding his wound. Naruto is now on his knee as he holding his bleeding wound.
"Gah…"
"KID!" Said Kurama as a knight prepares to swing his sword down
"KID. MOVE NOW!" Said Kurama but Naruto is too hurt to hear
But a miracle happened as Naruto then suddenly being transported away.
"Kid! Snap out of it!" Said Kurama
"W-What? Where am I?" Asked Naruto
You have failed to complete the daily quest. You have been transferred to the penalty zone.
"Wait what? Oh yeah… now that I think about it, I was too excited about the job changing quest that I forgot about the daily quest." Said Naruto
"Hah… be glad that your idiotic save you for once." Said Kurama sighed out in relief
"Yeah… but first, 'store'." Said Naruto as 'store' appeared
"Let's see… Fatigue recovery… ah, there it is." Said Naruto purchased it as he drinks all down with a gulp
And just in time, the centipedes appeared.
"Alright… since you guy putting such hard work to welcome me back, then let me take all of your EXP!" Said Naruto draws out two daggers
(Konoha)
"What do you mean you don't know where he is?!" Said Jiraiya slamming his hand on the table
"Exactly what I meant Jiraiya-kun. Naruto said he had his own training schedule and after that, I can't find him at all." Said Sarutobi
"But how am I suppose to train him with the Kyuubi chakra?" Asked Jiraiya
"Then maybe you should have been there for him in the first place… like me, who should support him more. And besides, you don't need to teach him to control the Kyuubi chakra at all, he already can use it at the Chunin Exam."
"Wait already?! Who trained him to use it?" Asked Jiraiya
"I don't know… when I asked him, he doesn't tell me who is it at all. He told me that he learns to do it by himself." Said Sarutobi
"That's impossible!" Said Jiraiya
"I know… but Naruto refuses to tell me because I was hiding the info about him being the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki. Right now, he got more and more distrust to me and if I have to bet, you as well Jiraiya." Said Sarutobi
"Why do you think that?" Asked Jiraiya
"There are many things I don't know about Naruto since he was holding back a lot. I only know that Naruto could easily Chunin level considering his match with Gai student Rock Lee." Said Sarutobi
"What about it?" Asked Jiraiya
"Naruto boosting with Kyuubi chakra managed to keep up with Rock Lee at his Fifth Inner Gate. The two clashing at each other for a while and then Naruto emerges victoriously." Said Sarutobi
"That's impossible. Just boosting himself with Kyuubi chakra shouldn't let him be that fast." Said Jiraiya
"Yes… that was the thing that confuses me the most. But I can't find any other explanation at all." Said Sarutobi
"Then what should we do now? I can't teach him if I don't know where he is…" Said Jiraiya
"You will have to wait for him… like Kakashi. He also came to ask me about Naruto a few hours ago. Right now, he's training Sasuke." Said Sarutobi
"I guess I have to do that then…" Said Jiraiya as he scratching the back of his head as he goes out of the office and to the hot spring
Sarutobi could only sigh as he wonders where could Naruto be. Not to mention the headache of the rumor Suna is allied with Orochimaru as well.
(Naruto)
Naruto is now sitting on a corpse of a centipede as he drinking a potion bottle. He now has three minutes until he going back to the job changing quest.
"Now then… I guess I should prepare for the job changing quest. Won't want to get my ass kick again." Said Naruto as he searches through the 'store'
"'Knight Killer' sound good… but it's too expensive for me now. Can I have something else work against armor with lower price?" Asked Naruto as he swipes through the pages
"Huh… what's this?" Asked Naruto looks at a certain 'sword'.
"Hmm… the damage is not bad, and it's fit my currency just fine. But still… I don't have much experience with a sword at all." Said Naruto
"Just buy it, kid. Better than nothing." Said Kurama
"Yeah, you are right." Said Naruto as he bought the sword with 2.300.000 "Let hope this will make a difference" as he inspects it
Item: Red Queen
Rank: C+
Type: Sword
A sword that belongs to a devil hunter. It had been customized with a flammable motorcycle-like shift gear. When revved up, the blade will emitting fire thus causing higher penetration damage (Can rev up 3 times)
Naruto then putting the sword behind his back as he then takes out the 'Dominator Scroll' as he learns the skill in it. After that, he immediately knows how to use it as he tried to lift up the centipede body but didn't work because the skill level is too low.
The clock starts to count down from 4s as he mumbled: "This is it. My last chance. This is all I can prepare. Now I have to leave it to my skills… and luck."
The clock strike at 0s as Naruto returns to the dungeon.
"Geh… the number is this much." Said Naruto as he drawing his sword out
"Now then… let try revved this sword up." Said Naruto as he revving it up as the fire started to emit out
The knight charging at Naruto as Naruto then swinging his sword cleaving through the knights easily as the fire wave cleaving the one behind them as well
"Wow… this thing really is good." Said Naruto as he putting it on his shoulder "But it kinda hard to control."
Naruto cleaving through them as he starts to getting used to 'Red Queen' mechanism and taking down the knights start to get easier.
'But still… this is weird. Even though Igris and the one from outside of the room give me EXP. Why aren't these things didn't? It's like the snake… summon…' Though Naruto as he trails off
"Wait… could it be…" Said Kurama as he starts to realize it
"MAGICIAN! IT'S YOU BASTARD!" Said Naruto as he leaps up by his sword throwing his Dagger to one mage killing it as the Knights broke down
'As I expect. These bastard are the one going out of the portal last so it must be them.' Though Naruto as he then using 'Stealth' again
The Mage using 'Detection' reveal Naruto location but they also reveal themselves as well.
'5 of them left…' Though Naruto as he recalls his Dagger back by 'Dominator Touch' as he leaps down to where Red Queen is as he grabbing the handle revving it up
He grabs the handle with both of his hand as he dashes forward cleaving the knight on his way to the Mage and then stabs the sword down pushing himself forward and slicing the Mage to piece.
Naruto holding his hand up recalling 'Red Queen' to him as he grabbing it, leaping high by stomping the Knight as he then holding 'Red Queen' up and then strike another Mage with high piercing speed killing it.
The other three Mages start to see the danger as they gather their power to combine all the knight to one big golem.
"Desperate measure huh? Fine by me…" Said Naruto as he revving the blade up to 3 times as he dodging the Golem hit.
After at 3 times, Naruto dashes right under the Golem as he cleaving up as the fire sword slicing through the Golem like a hot knife through butter.
The Golem broke down as Naruto up in the air as he then shot toward the remaining Mages as he cleaving through them killing them all.
Naruto standing up putting the sword on his shoulder as he looks at the scene as he thought: 'It's over… right?'
All monsters had been slain. The quest will end now. You will be able to choose a job
"Finally… I'll get a job now. I'm getting stronger." Said Naruto
A job will be granted upon player's action had been analyzed
"Huh… does that mean I'm not allowed to choose?" Asked Naruto
Wherever the player go, the reaper follow
The player's path is littered with corpses and the smell of blood
As the player possess strength, he does not leave anything to his teammate
And overcome everything with his own strength
Your desire for strength burns strong enough
To call upon those who wander the valley of death
And the army of death who follow your command
Shall create a path
Where your thread will be the law
And you would never need another help again
"What the? Is this… my job?" Asked Naruto shocked
Your job is 'Necromancer'
"What the fuck… WHAT THE FUCK?! I HAVEN'T EVEN TOUCH A SINGLE INT STAT AND YOU GIVING ME A MAGICIAN CLASS?!" Scream out Naruto frustrated
"C-Calm down kid. I mean… look on the bright side. From what I know, Necromancer is a class allow you to summon an army of the dead. So basically, you can make your own army, isn't that good enough?" Asked Kurama
"Are you joking?! This is a magician class! If I don't have high Int like in the RPG games, then how am I suppose to use this class?" Asked Naruto as an alarm popped up
Will you accept this job?
"Wait… I can refuse?" Asked Naruto
"I don't know… let's hope you can choose another one if you refuse though." Said Kurama
"Okay… then I refuse." Said Naruto as another alarm popped up
'Necromancer' is a special 'hidden class'. Do you still want to refuse?
"Hidden class? Does that mean this class has some kind of unique ability?" Asked Naruto deeps in though
"Kid… I think you should try it." Said Kurama
"Eh? Why? I don't even know how to use this class at all?" Asked Naruto
"You already saw the example. The Mages from before using the same thing." Said Kurama
"Oh yeah… summoning is similar." Said Naruto
"The Mages didn't have the close combat ability. Imagine, if you who had a close combat ability combine with this class power…" Said Kurama
"I could become a one-man army by myself…" Finished Naruto
"And not to mention your power is like a game. The summoned can become stronger if you use them many times too. And each of the armies will have different power, it could become a great advantage to you." Said Kurama
"I see. So that means… this won't be solo leveling anymore huh?" Asked Naruto as he accepted the job
Your job had been chosen
Base on the amount of point you obtained, you will be given a chance to promote.
You had exceeded the expected play time
You didn't use the Health Stone
Final Health is above 50%
All enemies have been slain
Kill the Final Golem
Mastering another weapon
The total points have exceeded the feat limit
You have been promoting from 'Necromancer' to 'Shadow Monarch'
You have been promoting from 'Shadow Monarch' to 'Abyss Ruler'
"A double promotion?!" Said Naruto shocked
You have obtained bonus stats
You have obtained the title 'The one who overcame Adversity'
You have unlocked Darkness, Shadow, Mental affinities
"Wow… this is AWESOME!" Said Naruto screams out with joy
"Indeed. It seems that thanks to the bonus points, you had advanced… twice." Said Kurama surprises
"Huh? I can hear some sort of scream… a scream of pain." Said Naruto as he looks around seeing some kind of black fog rising up from the knight corpses
Shadow extraction can be used on this target
"Of course. Necromancer ability… duh." Said Naruto smacking his head
Please select the command phrase for Shadow Extraction
"If the necromancer is a commander job, then the phrase will be…" Said Naruto as he thinks a little bit
"… Arise." Said Naruto in a deep voice
And instantly, a grudging sound was heard as black shadow hand raise up from the corpses as the shadow starts to come out and form a body standing in front of Naruto. (About the sound, imagine like Resident Evil zombie sound)
"Huh… this is… sort of cool." Said Naruto looking at his 'army'
"So according to my skill, I can extract 40 shadows and save 30 of them. These things are good… but I wonder if…" Said Naruto as he looking at a certain 'Red' Knight
Shadow can be extracted
"Bingo. But first, I need to release the weakest first. So sorry about that." Said Naruto canceling 11 shadows
Naruto walks toward Igris as he said: "Blood Red Commander Igris. If I had this guy…"
"I have to admit, that's a good idea. With how strong this guy is, you will have a great advantage." Said Kurama
"Arise…" Said Naruto as the black fog start to raise up then suddenly a strong force pushing him canceling the skill and a message that said he had failed appeared
"Tch… As I thought, this won't be easy. The skill inscription did say that the success rate depends on the target stat and how long the target died. This guy a boss monster and it's had been over 4 hours since he died." Said Naruto
"Arise." Said Naruto again as he tried again but failed
"You have only one chance left kid. You have to think of something." Said Kurama
"Something…" Said Naruto looking around as he spots "Throne…"
"What?" Asked Kurama
"… Stop protecting the one that left that throne. And try to assisting me to protect the people who are dear to me. Arise." Said Naruto raising his hand up
The surrounding starts to shake as Igris sound echo through the room as he raises up.
"Blood red Igris… no too long. Let just call you… Igris." Said Naruto
Due to naming, the shadow had been upgraded.
"Yosh. Your name is now… Igris." Said Naruto as Igris and the other bow down to him
"Take good care of me… okay?" Said Naruto chuckling dryly
After that, Naruto leaving the dungeon as he returns to the shrine.
"Where have you been?" Asked Reimu
"Eh? Didn't I told you that I'll be doing the job changing quest?" Asked Naruto
"It took you two weeks for that?" Asked Reimu
"Eh two weeks?" Asked Naruto
"Must have been because the time inside the dungeon is slower than outside. I suggest you have to be careful in the future kid." Said Kurama
"Yeah…" Said Naruto
"Anyway… so did you get it?" Asked Reimu
"Yeah… I did." Said Naruto
"So… What job is it?" Asked Reimu
"Eh…" Said Naruto scratching his cheek
"Out with it." Said Reimu
Naruto could only resign his fate as he leading Reimu inside as he told her about his quest and then… his job.
"Necromancer? Are you trying to have Yuyuko and Komachi breathing down your neck or something?" Asked Reimu deadpanned
"Eh… but it's cool." Said Naruto
"Well… forget it. Komachi pretty much laid back and Yuyuko probably has no problem with that at all." Said Reimu
"Eh… that's all?" Asked Naruto surprises
"It's not like your power is not normal. In Gensokyou, many others also have abnormal abilities. I'm sure you know that already…" Said Reimu calmly drinking her tea
Naruto could only sweatdrop at that statement. But it's true, he never heard of someone who could manipulate Fate in the first place. How the heck Remillia could even do that?
"Anyway… since you are done with that quest, what are you going to do now?" Asked Reimu
"I don't know… maybe I try this key first." Said Naruto bringing out a key he got from the Forest of Death
"You need to rest Naruto…" Said Reimu looking at him
"O-Of course Reimu." Said Naruto putting the key away
Reimu then grabs Naruto by the hand as she then brings Naruto outside of the garden. She then put Naruto head on her lap as she said: "Now sleep. You have done more than enough for today."
Naruto couldn't help but agree to her as the sleepiness start to take over him as he slowly closing his eye as Reimu rubbing his hair gently smiling at his sleeping face as she mumbled: "Don't worry other so much… idiot."
