A/N: SURPRISE!

Weren't expecting an update from me now, were you?

Well, you can thank my new system for that, even if I'm using an old computer.

That's right, I've got an update schedule now, and my little break gave the manga more time to get ahead. Then again, I didn't PLAN on getting sick as I have, so that was unexpected.

But I'm bakc!

AND SO IS THIS FIC!

ALRIGHT! This fic is now in SECOND PLACE for the most reviewed Overlord fic on this site! WE ONLY NEED SIX MORE REVIEWS TO BEAT IT! Let's get it up to number one, guys! We can do it!

HELLO CHAPS~! Miss me? VIVA LA REQUEST YEARS! Well, I've been gone awhile, but I'm back. Lets just say there were...issues with my health and such. But those are behind me! I fear not the flamers nor the flames that they bring, for I am back and I am here to STAY!

Sooooo, time to answer your questions!

Q: Naruto and Shaltear have a KID?! Already?! How?!

A: This chapter explains it. The method was suggested by a reviewer and is a tad...unconventional. She has a MASSIVE impact on the story however!

Q: So are Naruto and Ains allies?

A: I'd say frienemies at the moment. They've agreed to work together for the moment in regards to Carne village, but they don't trust each other.

Q: Well, Nigun's gonna get his ass kicked from the get go, isn't he?

A: Very much so, yes.

Q: Just how serious is this story going to be? I'm all for humor mind you, but can we expect plot?

A: PLENTY of plot. Its only more lighthearted at the moment because Naruto and Ains are finding their way in the world. It'll be a serious story, but at the same time, it'll have its moments of levity and silliness as well. Not to mention BRUTAL beatdowns on anyone fool enough to cross Naruto or Ains.

Q: Are you going to go into the events of the manga?

A: Into the manga and beyond! I enjoyed the anime a great deal, but I'm not about to let myself be limited by it. The manga seems FASCINATING and while I have yet to finish it, I'm quite eager to do so and see what is to come. I've been told the events of the Lizardmen arc are particularly interesting...

Q: Can we anticipate Naruto conquering nations, here?

A: Well, Naruto doesn't hold much interest in anything but his family and friends for the moment. If provoked he'll certainly rain hell down on the one responsible, but as for conquering just for the sake of it, well...he doesn't like that. This may or may not lead him into conflict with Ains.

NOW THEN!

LET THE CRAZY TRIP CONTINUE!

AND A DISCLAIMER! I own no lines or references to TFS, or any other movies, manga and anything else! I am only responsible for the idea! Believe me, I WISH I owned Naruto and Overlord, but as I do not, I can only humbly write about them and hope that my ideas inspire others.

Sooooo...onward!

Do try to keep up, my beloved fans =D

He Who Grants Life/He Who Grants Death

Journal Log Entry: #3

I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of this leading bit, but I'm writing it all down to be sure.

The old, reclusive me would have just bulled past Carne Village and ignored them. Obviously, I didn't do that. With a bit of help from Ains-still not entirely sure if I can trust this guy-I managed to reassure everyone that everything was fine, and the danger was past. They didn't relax until we started asking for information in exchange. Fortunately, what little they did know proved far more than what we did. They seemed chuffed to see that Neji unharmed and in one piece. He's something of a hero in this village now. Perhaps I should let him visit again once his wounds heal...?

Ah, but I digress.

Here, I'm jotting down the accumulated knowledge I've managed to glean thus far:

Carne Village, as well as the Great Forest and the tomb I investigated are part of Re-Estize, which is adjacent to the great mountain range that runs north and south of something called the Baharuth Empire. Supposedly these countries are on bad terms with each other for some reason or another and often clash on the plains which border the two countries near the capital city of E-Rantel. That's the closest city, by my guess. So, then there's the Slane Theocracy, lying to the south of bouth countries.

That's a lot to memorize, ya know!

Now, initially, the knights we drove off were believed to be from the Baharuth Empire, going by their crests, but Ains believes it was staged by the Slane Theocracy and, you know...I'm inclined to believe him. Striking at one country to stir up the other and start a war? This kind of backstabbing was pretty common in the shinobi hey-day. Makes me glad I bothered to capture one of the bastards. Naturally, I gave said bastard to Esdeath. Needless to say, she produced results.

Poor sod broke after only five minutes.

Turns out the Slane Theocracy has been very bad as of late.

Ains doesn't seem surprised by it, though.

He's bloody HARD to read.

So, right now we're trying to decide if we should continue our little alliance or go our separate ways. I'm under no illusion as to what might happen if we do; we'll likely end up going to war. Can't say I'd like that. At this point, I just want to keep my world safe. I don't want to lose anyone else, and fighting Nazerick would surely risk that.

On another note, I've gotten a few odd looks from the villagers.

Nemu and Enri in particular.

...I think the younger one's actually afraid of me.

Apparently Dark Elves aren't well known in this world.

I don't blame them; I probably look terrifying. At least Ains had the foresight to hide his true appearance. Still, the villagers are nothing if not gracious and they seem more than willing to

I may not be able to save everyone, but I'll be damned if I don't try.

Why do I feel like I'm forgetting something...?


(...An Undisclosed Location...)


The sky sang.

A single roiling note coiled through the air as pure chakra and magic writhed and twisted within one another in a seething maelstrom of energy, seeking balance and finding none. This writhing nexus of twisting power coalesced, broke apart, and swirled together again, seeking balance and cohesion, but unable to find either. Although Naruto and Shaltear's final attacks had indeed vanished from their sight long ago, indeed, streaking far beyond the horizon itself, it had not dissipated. These twin energies thrust upon one another were far too powerful to simply fade into oblivion, too mighty to simply expire against one another.

It was here, leagues away from any form of civilization, that a once-in-a-lifteime miracle occurred.

Each combatant had thrown their all into their final assault, flung the entirety of their beings at one another in a desperate attempt to end their struggle. A true vampire and dark elf, each possessed of near-omnipotent power. Neither had given it any thought since their parting. Perhaps had they known what their foolishness would unleash about to birth, they would've been more careful in unleashing such primal forces. For magic is a strange thing, and it does not die quietly, sometimes not at all.

An ageless arc that defies logic, shatters the shackles of sense. Like chakra, it knows not the bounds of reality nor those of time, and does not trifle fools.

At length, something happened.

Something incredible.

A miracle.

Instead of consuming one another or dying in a blinding blaze of brilliance, the writhing energies finally gave up on their battle and chose the path of least resistance. They began to merge. Fuse. Unite. Become one. The seething storm of power inexplicably shot down through the clouds to crash through the trees, shrinking and diminished all the while before eventually coming to rest against the foliage below. Nestling into the tall grass with a quiet rush of air, the teeming membrane continued to contract, gradually assuming a new shape entirely.

Were one present, they would witness something spectacular.

In place of the writhing energies lay a new entity.

A little girl.

An ethereal beauty in every sense of the word, she seemed almost perfect to the unwitting eye. Truly a superior creature, her tiny frame sheathed in bits of leaf and twigs that somehow seemed entirely too little for her petite form. Hair the color of the palest snow framed a cherubic face from which half-lidded eyes stained a strange red-blue-but-not-quite-violet shone. The lone flaw-should one dare demean it as such-was the tiny fang peeking over her lower lip, a clear sign of what she was.

For a fleeting moment she lay there in her impromptu cocoon, sleepily stirring as though from slumber.

Pale eyes the color of violet skies turned upward, regarding the faint horizon in confusion. She knew not who or what she was, possessed by only the basest of memories. Flashes of sight and sound, a woman with red eyes and a pale countenance, a man with stark blue eyes and wild golden hair. An intrinsic bond linked her to them and she immediately felt drawn to them both. Her childlike mind didn't understand much beyond that, but it was enough and she immediately made her own rationalizations.

The red-eyed woman was Mama.

The blue-eyed elf, Papa.

Turning her head, she sniffed once, scenting the air for any sign of them.

For lack of anything better to do, she turned toward its source.

Then she started walking east.


(...Meanwhile...)


Naruto felt his patience slipping.

With each passing hour that the sun dipped lower and lower in the sky so too did his temper rise. Soon it would be evening and still, the villagers showed no signs of leaving their post. The air was rich with the scent of upturned earth and freshly picked flowers, salty with tears. Quietly, he cursed his new body and the enhanced senses that came with it. Even here at a distance, he could perfectly hear their wails and lamentations, the sound of children sobbing and those of the loved ones mourning those they'd lost.

They still hadn't left the graves.

Of course it was their right to mourn; he just wished he didn't have to see it firsthand. To be reminded of his failure and the counterattack that would surely arrive. The idea of waiting for the enemy to come to them was beginning to prove tiresome, and he found his mind beginning to wander.

For all his efforts, people had died here, today.

He hadn't been fast enough, hadn't been strong enough.

Oddly enough, this thought didn't bother him as much as it should.

Was it a side effect of coming to this world? Were his emotions gradually diminishing?

No, that wasn't quite right.

Carefully considering his own feelings he found that they hadn't changed; rather, he still cared for Esdeath and all those in his kingdom in equal measure. It was when he considered the village of Carne that his emotions grew more muddled. It wasn't that he particularly disliked the townsfolk-on the contrary. He pitied them their weakness. They didn't know how to defend themselves, so it was only right that they would look to them for guidance. But at some point between now and then, he had come to view them not as simple NPC's, but something he wanted to safeguard and protect.

As if they were cute little animals.

Disturbed by this thought, his mismatched gaze swept towards a nearby tree and the one standing beneath it.

Ains Ooal Gown.

The lich caught his gaze and inclined his head ever so slightly, the faceless facade of his mask reflecting nothing of the emotions within.

Once more, Naruto found himself struck with a faint sense on unease.

He'd agreed to work with him on a whim, but that didn't mean he trusted the lich-much less the armored woman with him. She hadn't spoken so much as a word since they'd entered the village proper. Worse, she and Esdeath kept shooting ugly looks at one another, silently itching to renew their battle. He wasn't sure he'd be able to stop them both if they chose to take up arms again. Too much blood had been shed for them to bury the hatchet without a fight; they stood over an abyss and he knew the slightest nudge would send them plummeting over the edge.

If the latter hadn't wandered off, he was almost certain they would have come to blows.

Still, Ains had been nothing if not courteous thus far, and Naruto found himself obliged to do the same. He'd even gone so far as to give Enri a pair of Goblin Horns to protect herself from further threats. And yet despite all his kindness Naruto couldn't help but wonder if he had some ulterior motive for being here. Arriving just as the village came under attack-his timing was uncanny to say the least. The possibility that he might actually be a player from YGGDRASIL wasn't something he could discount, but if he was up to something, what could it be?

Surely he couldn't be-

"Ah, darling!"

Drawn from his brooding by the sound of a familiar voice, Naruto raised his gaze and found himself quietly chuffed to see that Esdeath had finally returned from her short-lived absence. In fact, she seemed to be making a beeline for him across the town square, heedless of the strange looks her presence drew. Naruto nearly laughed, despite himself. Here was something-someone-he actually understood and knew how to deal with-none of these vague concepts about reality and the way this world worked. Cut and dry, simple and clean. In the short time that he'd come to know her he'd realized she could be exceptionally blunt. There was no need to try and mince words with this one.

That suited him just fine.

"Its been a few hours." he asked, pushing himself upright from his seiza sitting position. "Where did you go?"

The massive, frozen boar strung over her back was all the answer he needed.

"I was hunting for our dinner." she informed him with a merry grin, depositing her hard-won prize and a bushel of branches at his feet. "As you forbid me from cutting down that impudent whore for insulting you, I was forced to find...other outlets of stress relief." Her cutting gaze seemed to stray past him for a moment, alighting on Albedo's stoic form with hateful intensity. The armored woman returned the glower a thousand fold, a hand tightening around the haft of her ax and Naruto coughed quietly to hide a shudder.

'Stress relief, eh? Well, as long as you don't go on a rampage...

Within short order they perched themselves upon a small log and had a fire of sorts going. Thus, they settled in to enjoy a short-lived meal. The meat itself proved exquisite once properly cooked, a pleasant distraction from the mournful goings-on of the village. It also gave him time to reflect on his next course of action. He didn't want to be wrapped up in any of this three-kingdom business, he just wanted to keep his precious home safe, and perhaps learn more about this new world in the process. Did that entail allying himself with others? The idea of endless politicking, trading and bartering with others, did not appeal to him.

"You're chewing on the bone, darling."

Realizing he'd since chewed all the meat from the boar's leg in his musings, the blond felt a wistful smile tug at his mouth. Abashed, he discarded the bone into the fire and watched it splinter and crack in the flame.

"The village has food, ya know." he admonished lightly, shifting his legs closer to the fire. "You didn't have to do this."

Esdeath beamed, brushing a bit of food from his cheek.

"I wanted to. Besides, I enjoyed the hunt."

"Wait, but you left your weapon here-oh." the realization hit as he beheld the blood on her hands. "You took that thing down barehanded? You're seriously scary sometimes, you know that?"

"Would you have me any other way?" the huntress flashed him a small smile as she tore off a fresh haunch of meat for herself.

"No," Naruto relented with a rueful chuckle, "I suppose not."

They ate in quiet contemplating for a time after that, the silence broken only by the crackling flame.

"How long are we to remain here?" Esdeath asked at length.

"Until someone comes, I suppose." Naruto shrugged halfheartedly. "I can't just leave this village alone after an attack like that."

"But surely there is no need to sully your hands-

A spark of anger kindled to life in Naruto's heart and he shot her an arch look.

"And if I want to sully them? Then what?"

Abruptly, those harsh orbs cooled.

...then I will follow your lead and shield your back from those who would harm you."

Her sudden deference humbled Naruto.

It was times such as these that reminded him just how unfalteringly loyal the denizens of the Great Forest were. Whether it was part of her inherent programming or not, Esdeath was loyal to him. Even if she'd been no more than data and code until a few days ago, in this world, she was real. Breathtakingly, painfully real. Everyone in Konoha was. And he'd nearly bitten her head off for that very aspect. What kind of ruler was he when he snapped at those who only wanted to lend him their aid?

"I'm sorry." he apologized, dipping his head in remorse. "I didn't mean to be cross with you."

Esdeath gazed into the fire, her azure orbs tinged orange in the flickering flames.

"The strong live and the weak die." she said, after a moment's contemplation. "And yet you once told me its the duty of the strong to protect the weak. I confess, I did not see the purpose in that. Why must we concern ourselves with those who will inevitably perish? I think I understand now." to his quiet consternation she scooted across the log towards him, taking his hand in her own, eyes alight with fierce fervor. "Everything in this world belongs to you. The land and the sky, even these puny villagers, all may only die at your discretion."

Well.

Naruto certainly hadn't meant that, but it would be too troublesome to explain otherwise.

At any rate, his mind was decidedly elsewhere.

'The duty of the strong is to protect the weak.'

The words made him stiffen.

"I said that?"

He hadn't uttered such drivel in years. Not since everything had gone to hell.

"You did." the bluenette confirmed quietly, her crystal eyes turning to meet him. "Granted, you were rather intoxicated at the time but I took your words into my heart and remembered them. Whether or not you choose to help these villagers or leave them to their despair, I will follow you. Regardless of whatever decision you make. After all...

"After all...?"

Inexplicably, Esdeath grinned.

"You're my darling."

Naruto sighed.

"Seems so."

He realized what he'd unleashed a heartbeat later.

Oh shit.

A hand rose, absently caressing his cheek as she locked him in place with the other. Naruto stiffened anew. He knew he could break her grip with ease, but for reason he found himself unable to do so. Instead his body betrayed him and he remained rooted where he sat. It was only when he felt a strange chill in his legs that he realized she'd frozen his feet. That she'd been able to do so at all rather baffled him, and served as a stark reminder that for all her appearances, the icy goddess was more than capable of been subtle when she wanted to be.

"Darling," Esdeath purred, her voice veritably vibrating with lust, "You're not going to run away from me, are you?"

Naruto swallowed thickly.

"Oi, oi, oi?! What's with that look?"

The silence proved telling.

Her kiss was sudden and fierce, her mouth pressing roughly against his with cold desire, and nearly undid him right then and there. His hands twitched, longing to reach up and hold her. Mastering himself with an effort, the whiskered elf pulled away.

"Okay, that's enough. Esdeath, no." he warned, then repeated the warning, recognizing the glazed look in her eyes. "No. No. Now is not the time for this. There are people here. Esdeath, don't you dare!"

"I'm sorry, I can't quite seem to hear you...

"NO JUMPING MY BONES!"

In the end, she scarcely managed to steal another kiss before he finally broke free of his icy shackles and bolted to his feet. Then, before she could try and snatch him away gain, he made a beeline for Ains and Albedo in the vain hope that Esdeath's dislike for the latter would cool the flames of her desire. As luck would have it, his plan worked out swimmingly for Esdeath made a noise of discontent and reluctantly trailed after him, pausing only to extinguish the fire, their half-eaten feast left forgotten in the ashes. In that aspect, he was lucky indeed.

Perhaps a little too lucky.

"Treat them with kindness, Albedo." Ains was saying as they drew within earshot. "Acting is also important."

Naruto slowed.

What in the...?

Drawing closer, he caught Ains's eye.

"Your subordinate seems a lively one." he remarked with an air of bemusement.

Esdeath's laughter rang out behind him, drawing a sigh from the blond.

"You have no idea. So, any word on-

It was then that he spied the lich cradling a familiar wand in the folds of his robe.

He recognized the item right away.

A Resurrection Wand.

An uncommonly valuable item even in the world of YGGDRASIL, it was capable of reviving anyone who had perished, albeit at a lower level. He himself had dozens of such wands stored in Konoha's vault. They were very useful for reviving the occasional minion and worked on all but the floor guardians themselves. He'd all but forgotten about the item until this very moment. That Ains had such a valuable tool out and at the ready made him wonder-perhaps even hope-at what the lich intended. If he was planning to use that...

"You're going to revive the fallen villagers?"

The undead was silent for the span of a single heartbeat.

...I am not." he declared flatly.

In another life, such a statement would've caused Uzumaki Naruto to fly into an indignant rage and spout a slew of gibberish.

Now, he merely arched an eyebrow.

That worried him.

"What? Why?"

"A magic caster who deals death, or one who brings life." the lich ruminated aloud, masked face inclining in thought. "Which is more likely to attract attention?"

The answer was obvious, even to Naruto.

Obviously, someone, anyone for that matter, who could revive the dead even in an admittedly limited capacity would be hounded to the ends of the earth. To be able to rule over life and death at a whim...such a power could easily restore one's family, cherished loved ones, or be used for less savory means. Whomever wielded such power would likely never know peace as long as they lived. There would always be someone longing to use, or even abuse such a gift. From an objective view, Ains reasoning made sense. But Naruto had never been one for reason.

"Just for that reason, we shouldn't...?"

By comparison, he didn't hesitate.

He simply didn't give a damn.

"Fuck that."

He knew all too well the pain of losing someone, the aching loneliness that came from having ones loved ones wrested away without warning. The difference being that it hadn't been quick for him; instead he'd watched his precious people wither away to nothing over an eternity. He had time to adjust to that, no matter how much it might've warped him. Enri and Nemu...these girls hadn't had that opportunity. They'd lost their parents suddenly and without any time to say goodbye, just like so many others in the village. And for them to be denied that on something so meager as a whim...

Summoning a Wand of Resurrection from his inventory, he indicated the broke ground with a flourish of his wrist and began channeling mana until a faint blue glow arose within. After another thought, he added a minor teleportation spell atop it. Wouldn't do to bring them back to life only to have them suffocate underground now, would it?

"You may regret doing that." Ain's voice rose in quiet warning over his shoulder.

Naruto glowered back at the lich, refusing to be swayed from his course.

"Maybe, but its not my way to turn my back on innocents."

Arrowing towards the graves, he uttered:

"Revive!"

With that declaration, he cast the die that would ultimately seal his fate.

It came as something of a shock to the entire village when their loved ones simply appeared above their graves, hale and hearty, if a bit pale. Thanks to his relatively proximity, Naruto found he had a prime view of his handiwork A handful of seconds dragged by as husbands, wives, parents and children alike gawped at one another, unable to believe their eyes. Five. Ten. Twenty. Belatedly, it occurred to the Sage that he might want to step back before they came to their senses and all hell broke loose-

"Gah!"

Needless to say chaos ensued.

He was only distantly aware of the wand dissolving in his palm; he soon had to fling that very hand up to keep himself from being mobbed. When all was said and done and he'd managed to wriggle free of the delighted thrown, he found Ains waiting for him. Somehow, he knew the sorcerer was smiling, even with that damnable mask of his. He just knew. His every word seemed to radiate quiet satisfaction.

"I did warn you." the lich reminded him.

"Ah...I'm tired. Acting is exhausting!"

Unfortunately, the day was far from over.

"Lord Ains," the village chief's voice rang out, "Lord Naruto!"

"Esdeath, kill me now." the blond groaned.

"I'm afraid I can't comply with that order."

"Traitor!"

"W-Well, it would seems that some knight-like people are headed toward this village." here he trailed off, clearly longing to ask for their aid yet hesitant to dare after all the good they'd done. Naruto exchanged a terse look with the rest. Of course he had been looking forward to raining down hell on his enemies. But at the moment he wanted nothing more than to put the village behind him and simply call it a day. After all this surely that wasn't too much to ask for...?

"I understand." Thankfully, Ains swooped in before he could speak. "Please have the surviving villagers gather around your house. The village chief will come with us to the square."

In short order the five of them gathered in the square to await the coming storm.

Naruto found himself mildly confused to see that these men wore different armor than those who'd first attacked the village. More notably each rode atop a horse of their own and they barely numbered more than a dozen. Their leader was a great bear of a man in red and silver armor, his bearded visage the picture of stoic concern.

Reigning his horse to a halt before them, that slate grey gaze cut down at them.

"I am the Chief Royal Warrior of the Re-Estize Kingdom, Gazef Stronoff." he began by way of introduction, his voice deep, words firm. "I have received orders from the King to hunt down the knight of the empire that have been wreaking havoc in this area by visiting all the villages. You, there! You must be the chief of this village. Who are those standing beside you?"

The village chief flailed his arms, unprepared for such an inquiry.

"These are-

"Do not worry." Ains interjected, stepping forward abruptly. "Its a pleasure to meet you Royal Head Warrior. My name is Ains Ooal Gown. I am a magic caster who came to help this town while it was being attacked. The ones beside me are a pair of adventurers who also happened to be in the area as well and came to aid the village." His masked head shifted incrementally towards Naruto, as if to state: "I hereby declare this hot potato to be firmly in YOUR court" and demurred with a simple gesture, stepping aside beneath Stronoff's scrutiny.

"Ah, I'm just a wandering sage." the blond demurred, "No one special...

"There's no need to be so humble!" the chief exulted. "This wonderful warrior came to aid us, and even brought the dead back to life!"

Urk.

Gazeff's gaze snapped back to Naruto.

"An extraordinary feat, if true."

The dark elf facepalmed.

'This is what I get for being a nice guy?! I'm never going to hear the end of this...what is he doing?!'

To his disbelief, Gazeff had indeed dismounted from his horse.

As the eclectic group looked on he lowered his head and bowed humbly.

...then I thank you for saving this village, all of you! Mere words cannot fully express my gratitude."

Ains and Naruto exchanged a glance.

"Its nothing, really...

"Captain!" an exhausted soldier hastened up from the group before either could finish. "Unknown figures have been spotted around this area. It seems they've surrounded the village and are approaching as I speak!"

"What?!"

Esdeath beamed.

"So the prey finally shows themselves."

Naruto cracked his knuckles.

"Bring 'em on. We'll give them a welcoming they'll not soon forget."

A/N: There we go. I'm really sick at the time of this author's note, so I do apologize for not making this chapter longer. Its nothing serious mind you, just a really bad case of the flu which has me laid out and feeling like absolute crap. So I decided to divide this chapter into two respective parts. I also apologize for not including Nigun's asskicking in this. I felt it ought to be more devoted to Naruto and Ains respective viewpoints, and the potential conflict that may one day stem from it. Shoehorning a fight in at the end just felt...forced, ya know? I pride myself on doing my best when I write, even if I'm feeling sickly, and I did my best to get this out before the Mass Effect craze hits.

NEXT CHAPTER COMES NIGUN AND THE SLANE THEOCRACY, AS WELL AS THAT BIT WITH SHALTEAR, SO I SWEAR ON MY HONOR AS A SWORDSMAN! Wait, that came out wrong...

So...in the Immortal Words of Atlas...

...Review, Would You Kindly? And of course, enjoy the preview! Hope it makes you smile. And Review! Or face the wrath of AINS!

The title of next chapter will be as follows:

"The Ruler of Death and the Sage of Despair"

I think we all know what's coming now, don't we?

Its going to be a nice LOOOOOONG chapter filled with action, humor, and all the good bits!

(Preview)

Nigun backed away.

Slowly.

"Devil! Oni! Akuma! What aaaaaaaaaaare you?!"

Naruto sighed.

"Look, Ains, I know we said he'd get a painless death and all, but...I'm not feeling very nice. Whaddya say we flip for it?"

R&R! =D
