AzureKing: Hello all, and I finally got this crossover that I've been wanting to do for so long. I love the anime and have been trying to keep up with the light novel to keep myself from going crazy.
Anyway it's a Naruto harem and as always find out as we read it. Enjoy the chapter~!
CHAPTER START~!
"Ahhhh…." A blonde man in his late twenties exhaled in relief while entering a small apartment that only he lived in. "Man… today sucked." He groaned, throwing his suitcase on the floor unceremoniously before plopping straight down onto the bed face first. Just another day in the life as a blue-collar worker, trying to make ends meet and provide for himself to the best of his ability… or at least that's what he tried to do, but today just wasn't his day.
Today was the busiest day of his life! After years of studying and hard work in college he became a carpenter who owned a small, but successful carpentry workshop that focused on both Western and Japanese style aesthetics… but mainly Japanese. Considering the blonde's background, it wasn't that surprising and after studying many textbooks of historical Japanese culture he was able to nail down the style almost perfectly! This had the positive effect of attracting various customers and while he did receive quite a lot of orders, it was usually on the level where he didn't have to work himself to the bone to complete them… but today…. TODAY WAS CRAZY!
SO MANY REQUESTS THAT HIS STUPID, yet cute, SECRETARY BOOKED AT THE SAME TIME WITHOUT CONSULTING HIM!
While he was happy that his little company, which had a total of 10 workers including himself, earned so much money that they are now able to take a month off work due to sudden rush of orders, but it didn't change the fact that he and his colleagues had to work nonstop for almost 24 hours straight! Besides the incredibly short power naps he barely managed to get any sleep!
The blonde adult sighed as he went to the kitchen and pulled out a cup of ramen and some juice from the fridge. "I kinda wish I was back home…" He muttered to himself before turning towards a mirror that was hanging on a wall to see his face. His peach skin had the healthiest of tan due to often having to work outside and three whisker marks adorned his face, which despite his age, made him look quite handsome. Finally, his eyes were clear blue in color.
"It all seemed so long ago…" He muttered again, his eyes gaining a nostalgic look in them.
This person is non-other than Naruto Uzumaki, a former shinobi of Konohagakure, former jinchuriki of the Nine-Tailed Fox… and a former hero during the Fourth Shinobi War! The blond then sighted sadly as he remembered how he died by the end of the war. He and his best friend Sasuke had battled the mother of all chakra, Kaguya Otsutsuki, and after a few close calls they managed to seal her back into her prison inside the moon. Unfortunately, before the two best friends could celebrate their victory Black Zetsu, Kaguya's evil spawn of a son, launched a sneak attack against Sasuke. Tired from the battle, the Uchiha wasn't prepared for the unexpected attack and would have most likely died…. if Naruto hadn't taken the hit for him. Before black Zetsu had the chance to gloat over the successful kill, Naruto had mustered what little remained of his chakra and destroyed the evil spawn with a powerful rasengan to the head.
The blonde adult went to his mailbox slot and smiled as he got his royalties from his other means of income. "It got really weird in the end…" He mused as he took out his notebook to note down his recent money flow.
The blonde man remembered how before dying he released his jailed friend Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Fox, and made Sasuke swear to let go of his hatred and to protect their friends. The last Uchiha agreed without hesitation and held his hand when Naruto finally passed away in peace...
…
…
…
"Before that DICK took me away." Naruto said with a twitching eye. "Asshole."
Oh yes… how could he forget? It was as if it happened yesterday.
After he died he met the Death God itself, who by the way is a biggest prick in Naruto's opinion. The god told him how impressed it was with Naruto's choices in life and his final sacrifice. It was so impressed actually, that it decided to grant him a second chance in life… but in a different world instead of bringing back to his old home. So that meant no Konoha, no being Hokage, no ninja friends, no best friend that is Sasuke or any of his other precious people.
It did bum him out for a while after he was reborn in another world, but luckily he was born in a small family with two sisters and very kind parents. He lived a pretty average life while occasionally making a friend there and there, but it didn't have any exciting adventures like in his previous one. Well, there was that one time where he discovered… SHIT! HE ALMOST FORGOT!
"I got to go!" Naruto quickly stood up from the kitchen table and shoved the rest of the noodles into his mouth. "BURRRRB~!"
He then quickly went to his smartphone to see the date. "Damn, it really is the last day."
For those who don't know, not only was the blond man a blue-collar worker, but also a big gamer who spends his free time playing the most popular VRMMORPG game called Yggdrasil!
The blonde moved towards the spare bedroom that had a single, but big and comfortable chair with high-tech computer screens and a keyboard attached to it. It was one of those hardcore gamer chairs with latest gaming gadgets.
"Since this is the last day, I might as well go out with a bang." He shrugged to himself and soon jumped into the chair. After getting into a comfortable seating position the former shinobi placed a VR headset on his head and watched as a thin hologram appeared before him. "Activate game, character model, Uzumaki Naruto." He recited, and a moment later, his vision exploded with thousands of colors that sent him into a new world.

In empty rocky area that had a loud waterfall and an old forest nearby, three golden rings suddenly appeared and slowly descended towards the ground. There stood a lone figure of a tall man, wearing almost ancient looking, thigh-length white haori that had a seal engraved on the back in human blood that said 'Death God'. His lower region was covered in light metal and leather armor that samurai used to were, ensuring that he made almost no sound when walking. One of the most noticeable features about the tall figure was a bushy tail of a fox sticking out just above his rear end. Another noticeable feature was its head, which wasn't human at all and instead was that of an orange colored fox with both eyes shut while crescent scars ran over them.
"Heh~ looking awesome as always. *sigh* Too bad all of it would be going away after today."
The fox hybrid said to himself before facing the waterfall with a cocky look. He closed his left hand as if gripping an invisible katana. "High Speed Cast." With those words his body soon started glowing with green energy. "Air Slash, Katana!" He roared while moving his left hand to slash upwards, splitting the waterfall in the middle. Soon after, the entire area was showered by small water droplets, temporarily creating a small rainbow in the process as well. Naruto smirked as he balled his hand into a fist. "Hell yeah! Still got it!"
He then used his other hand to pull up a game menu. After pressing on the inventory icon and scrolling through the item list, he soon pulled out a red ring with a certain guild's emblem on it.
"Hmmm… I wonder if Momonga is still around…" He pondered. "Knowing him, he probably wants to stick around till the very end." Naruto said with a smile before getting ready to transfer to the base of his old guild. "Should surprise him that I am here as well."

Meeting room of the Great Tomb of Nazarick

"Sigh… I wish HeroHero could've stayed to chat some more…" A large talking skeleton said to itself sadly. This was Momonga, an undead necromancer and the leader of one of the strongest guilds in Yggdrasil, Ainz Ooal Gown. He wore an elaborate, jet-black academic gown adorned with golden and violet edges. He also had a dark red orb floating under his ribs that emanated a feeling of dread. To complete the look two tiny, glowing red dots were ominously radiating from the inside of his empty eye sockets.
Momonga looked at the empty seats of the other 40 members of his guild and sighed in resignation, feeling tired and saddened by the loneliness of his empty meeting room.
He too will have to leave soon…
Suddenly, a bright flash appeared in the middle of the huge room and after it faded a grinning, orange furred humanoid fox creature was left standing on top of the meeting room table. "LADIES AND GENTELMEN! ANNOUCING THE ARRIVAL OF THE MOST BADASS AND AWESOME PLAYER IN ALL OF YGGDRASIL! GIVE IT UP FOR, NARUTO UZUMAKI!" The fox exclaimed loudly while repeatedly bowing in every direction.
The NPC maids placed around the meeting room started clapping loudly at Naruto's arrival…. even thou their expressions remained blank due their limited AI. May curses befall upon the shitty devs for not giving NPCs more elaborate expressions!
"NARUTO!?" Momonga exclaimed in surprise and quickly stood up from his seat.
The blonde looked at the talking skeleton with a kind look and smiled sheepishly. "Hey there, Momonga! Missed me much?."
The skeleton climbed on top of the meeting table and with haste moved closer to his friend. Although the face did not show it, the undead being was very happy to see him.
"You came!" He said with a wide smile… well… since the undead's expression couldn't change, a happy face emoting appeared next to the skeleton's head to express his happiness. "But didn't you say that you would not be able to make it since you had too much work?" Momonga asked while a confused emoticon face appeared next to him.
"It's the last day before the game shuts down, of course I would come back for one last run." Naruto replied with a friendly smile. "Anyway, work is done… for now, so I came to say goodbye." He then jumped off the table and started moving around while fondly patting the chairs surrounding it. "Wow… I can still clearly remember the many meetings we had here."
"Yeah, it brings backs a lot of good memories…well, since it is our last day, might as well spend it at the seat of our power. What do you say?" Momonga suggested.
"Sure, I always liked how awesome the throne room looks like." The beast ninja said… before realizing something. "Hey, since the game is ending, mind if I look more human?"
The skeleton moved his bony finger to his chin and after thinking for a bit, nodded in agreement. "Sure. I don't have a problem with that."
Naruto's hair and head glowed a bit as it changed shape and form into the same one he had back in the real world… with some exceptions of course. "Phew… much better. Still feels weird every time I do that. It's like I'm doing plastic surgery on my face over and over again. Although, too bad it's not a full change." Naruto groaned while poking at his remaining fox ears. "It sucks that I can't transform these away. At least the girls in the guild loved these things "
"Haha… it's not that bad." The walking undead tried to comfort his friend.
"Well, whatever. It's the last day anyways, so I'll let it slide." Naruto shrugged. "I'll go to my room to check on my stuff for one final time and meet you at the throne room afterwards."
Naruto then quickly walked through the guild halls and along the way he passed a room designated as cafeteria. It was filled with maids standing around the dinning tables and various cooking equipment. While he was still confused as to why the guild required a cafeteria since none of them could actually eat, but nonetheless, he can fully appreciate the amount of detail his fellow guildmates put into their work. He stopped at the entrance of the cafeteria and smiled at the NPC maids. "Good work as always ladies." He joked, knowing that they weren't going to reply to him. He then wondered if she was still around. Opening up the menu page he quickly got Ainz on the line. "Hey Momonga, since we left the management of guild protocols to you, do you know where my NPCs are?"
["Ah right, most of the NPC's you made are doing scouting procedures just as you have designated them to do since the last time you were here. Since it's not too far from the guild, I let them do what they're supposed to do."] Momonga said on the other line.
"I see." Naruto pondered. "I guess we can call them all back. Do you mind sending out the message?"
["No problem. Better hurry up and get down here quick. It's almost time for the server to shut down."]
Naruto nodded to himself as he quickly entered his old room and saw the many weapons and items he had stored over the course of the game. "Man, can't believe all of this is gonna go away…"
There stood the ten best weapons that he and his closest friends from the guild had created. Each one made for Naruto for special reasons… well, it was more like Naruto was begging them to make these weapons in exchange for owning them favors. Back when the guild first started creating its own items, Naruto wasn't as experienced as other members and didn't know how to create powerful, but balanced weapons. The guild members agreed to help him out with the condition that he would be the one to gather all the required materials. At first, it was a bit of a hassle as the materials were either rare and hard to come by, or, they were quite common… but the huge numbers that were required meant long hours of non-stop grinding.
But in the end, it was well worth. Each time a weapon was made, it made Naruto feel like a special connection was made with the guildmate that helped him.
He tapped on each weapon and watched as magical seals appeared around them. He then brought up the item description tab and carefully read through the weapons' info. When he reached the last weapon Naruto paused. The last weapon was a katana… although, one wouldn't be able to recognize it at first glance since it was covered in thousands of small, almost thread like chains leaving only a portion of the sheath free and its handle as well. "The first ever item to be made with a World Item by our guild… it was also the last weapon I asked to be made for me. Still haven't gotten around to naming you..." Naruto gripped the sheath and watched as the small chains coiled themselves around his arm. "Guess that won't be happening now…"
After making sure he didn't miss anything he finally left the room. With a clumsy smile he was prepared to see this game's ending.

"Ah, the best Icy Wine available in the game." Naruto commented before taking a sip from the wine bottle. "Ahhh, refreshing." He said in appreciation and glanced at Momonga standing next to him. "Not drinking?"
"No thanks. I figured I'd rather avoid bad status effects from the game alcohol, especially since the game will end soon. Besides, I'm an undead, remember? If this was real, the liquid would go through my bony neck." Momonga declined politely. "Also, you do know that it is impossible to get drunk in this game, right? We can't even taste anything. The way you keep pretending that these drinks are real sometimes make me wonder if you get drunk before you log in into the game." Momonga commented… only to sigh in annoyance a moment later when he heard Naruto fake burp out loud. This blond bastard sure knows how to grate on peoples' nerves when he wants to. "So, how are things at work?"
"I got 20 different requests at the same time…" Naruto sighed before taking another sip from drink. "Don't get me wrong, the business is great, it's just that my cute secretary had to book all of them at once… and you know what the worst part of is?… SHE DID IT AGAIN! WE ALREADY BARELY MADE IT IN TIME TO COMPLETE THE ORDERS! AND NOW, WE WILL HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN AFTER VACATION! THE GUYS ARE GOING TO SKEWER ME!"
"Ouch…"
"You have no idea dude…" Naruto said and then looked at the clock display to see how much time was remaining. "Man it sucks that I was the only one who showed up for the end. It would've been nice for Touch-Me, Tabula, and the others to at least send goodbye messages."
"I know, but the others had to leave due to personal reasons." Momonga reasoned, although, he was feeling really sad for not being able to see his friends for one last time.
"Well at least you got me." Naruto raised his bottle after standing up. "Sit on the throne of this guild and let's take one last picture. Let's share one last moment of awesomeness!"
"I can do that." Momonga nodded as both of them went to the guild throne and the undead king sat on it in the most epic way. Afterwards he brought up the game menu and switched it to camera mode.
"Standby…" Naruto ordered as the NPC combat maids, Pleiades, went to the sides of the throne room along with the NPC butler, Sebas. "All those raids and battles… and instead of going out with a bang, we go out with a whomp whomp." The fox hybrid said as he sat next to Momonga on the floor. "Still, if there's ever going to be Yggdrasil 2 or something similar, be sure to hit me up and I'll join your next team."
"I'll definitely do that." Momonga said after getting the camera ready. "Okay Naruto, smile!"
Naruto did just that as he smiled widely with one of his eyes closed and made a peace sign.
*CLICK!*
"Perfect Picture." Naruto chuckled.
"Like always…" Momoga agreed. He then looked to the side and noticed Albedo standing not too far from the throne. He remembered how Tabula claimed that she was one of the best NPCs he had created and decided to take a look at her bio. After finally reaching the end of it he could only sigh in disappointment at his guildmate's bad sense of humor. He had put so much detail into her… only to make her a bitch.
Since the game is ending, he might as well modify the description a bit and used the staff of Ainz Ooal Gown to gain administrator access to her programing. By the time he was finished it was close to midnight.
"…" Naruto lifted his head and turned to his leader. "… I guess… this is the end..."
"You can log out if you want. I'll stay here until the last second." Momonga offered.
"No way… we are both gonna see through end together… and not just as guildmates… but as best friends as well..." Naruto said resolutely while smiling at the undead.
"Well… alright then….….. Naruto….. thank you." Momonga replied gently. It felt… nice… to have someone you can call a true best friend.
…..
Both of them then closed their eyes and waited.

Naruto yawned as he moved his hands to remove the gaming headset on his head… hmm… weird, he didn't remember putting on a hat when he logged in. Strange, the hat felt as if it was made of fur which was soft… and also pointy. Deciding to take off the mystery hat he pulled hard at the pointy ends of it…. and barely managed to contain himself from screaming as it felt like he was trying to rip off his scalp!
Quickly opening his eyes and jumping up in alert, what greeted him wasn't the usual sight of his gaming room, but the very same throne room before he closed his eyes for the final countdown. He then directed his attention the side and saw his fellow guild member showing no visible reaction… forgetting that his friend is a skeleton and is incapable of showing them… "The hell?" He exclaimed and tried to open up the game menu… but there wasn't one popping up!
'Okay, don't panic, don't panic. I'm sure it's some sort of glitch that occurred when they shut down the servers.' Naruto thought to himself. But with each passing second he grew more worried and scared. 'Okay, what in the hell is actually going on!?'
"Oi, Momonga, wake up! Snap out of it!" Naruto shook his friend.
"Hmm? What is it Naruto? Can't you see that I'm thinking about work tomorrow?" Momonga groaned. Totally weird to see a giant skeleton do that.
"Seriously dude! Snap out of it! We have a big problem!" Naruto exclaimed while continuing to shake the giant skeleton.
"Huh?" Momonga finally started paying attention as his red beady eyes glowed momentarily. "Naruto? What's wrong?"
"Hey, the deadline for the servers is today at midnight. Right?" He asked as he looked around… and noticed that the status or control screens that he was used to seeing in his normal POV were no longer there.
"Yeah, why?" Momonga asked… in a surprisingly deep and royal like voice.
"Look at yourself, what do you see?" Naruto asked, before noticing the voice change. "And why is your voice so manly now!?"
"WHAT'S THAT-" The undead king was about to angrily retort until a faint green light suddenly envelope him.
"What the-? Was that a calming spell?" Naruto whispered to himself, knowing the generally useless spell.
"I'm sorry. What did you want say?" Momonga asked, but in a much calmer manner.
After hearing his friend's inquiry Naruto was snapped out of his musings. "Look at your field of vision. What do you see?"
Momonga looked forward and stared into the distance. There was nothing in his field of vision other than what was in front of him. What could be wrong with that?
…
…
…
…
Wait… nothing in his field of vision… nothing in his field of vision?... NOTHING IN HIS FIELD OF VISION!
"No status… no controls… no nothing!" Momonga realized.
"Exactly! What the hell is going on Momonga!?" Naruto cried out while frantically looking around.
"What's wrong my lords?"
The two comically stiffened up upon hearing a feminine voice. The number of female players in the guild could be counted with both hands so they can easily remember which voice belong to which female… and this voice was from someone they didn't know! They slowly turned to the side to see no one else except for the female NPC standing before them.
The name of this NPC was Albedo and if someone was asked to describe her in a single word they would definitely say, perfection. She had waist-length jet black long hair, golden eyes with slits in them and the face of a goddess. The pure white dress she wore accentuated her hourglass figure perfectly. The two horns sticking out her head did nothing to take away from her beauty and the dark crow wings behind back made her look like a divine being. Needless to say, she was a beauty that would make even the most stone-cold men droll in desire.
"My Lords?" She asked again while looking straight at them… but Naruto had this strange feeling that her gaze towards Momonga was much more intense. He also realized that the other NPCs were also staring at them.
"GAH!"
Naruto glanced back to see the green glow of a spell calming down his skeletal friend once again. Strangely, the NPCs didn't seem to notice it. "Um… Albedo… could you explain what has happened?"
The woman looked down in shame. "I-I'm sorry lord Naruto, but I have truly no idea on what you mean by that."
'No way… the NPC's are talking? They're alive?' Naruto wondered. 'That doesn't make sense. The NPC's limited AI prevents them from taking any action besides the basic ones designed by the shitty devs! They are technically capable of more, but you would have to spend years upon years of careful programing just to make them do something more flexible. Plus, everyone knows that custom made NPCs are incapable of speech!'
"Sebas." Momonga said in calm, but firm voice. "Please step out of the tomb and confirm the surroundings of Nazarick. Pleiades Maids, please guard the 9th Floor. If there are any intruders, deal with them."
"Understood, Lord Momonga." Sebas nodded.
"It will be done." Yuri Alpha added before Sebas and the maids left to carry out their orders.
"Strange… they're recognizing orders that aren't specific to YGGDRASIL." Momonga muttered to himself.
"That is weird… on a side note, all of our five senses are working here as well." Naruto commented before cupping his chin. "Hmm…. wonder what else has change. I need step out and do some testing. Try to do some experimenting on your end as well."
Before his follow player could agree, Naruto already moved ahead. "Uh… sure…" …Now, what do next? The skeleton thought before his eyes landed at Albedo's bountiful chest… well… Naruto did say to do some experimentation, right? "Um… Albedo? Could you come over here for a bit?"
XXXXXXXXXXX
6th Floor of the Great Tomb
XXXXXXXXXXX
"Whoa, Blue Planet did an incredible job with the sky effects." Naruto appraised while looking at the beautiful night sky of the 6th Floor. Blue Planet was an avid fan of nature, so much in fact that he made the entire floor have a fake day and night cycle. He even added beautiful forests, deserts, jungles, lakes etc. Naruto then looked towards the huge colosseum like structure in the desert like area.
The Amphitheatre. This was where players fought and the golems were set to act as spectators while their guild members watched leisurely from a VIP room.
'I wonder if they're also there...' Naruto thought as he approached the said arena. After taking a deep breath he called out. "Aura! Mare! Are you two here!?"
In response to his loud shout, a large reptile landed before him and sitting on its back were two children.
One was a tomboyish looking child with dark skin and pointed ears, signature traits of the dark elves. She had golden hair and heterochromia eyes with the left eye being blue and right eye green. She wore reddish-black dragon scale leather bodysuit covered by a white and gold vest embroidered with the sigil of Ainz Ooal Gown. Below it, she had a matching set of white trousers and gold-plated shoes. Around her neck was an acorn necklace that emitted a faint golden light. She was also equipped with a whip around her waist and a giant decorated bow on her back.
The other young child also possessed dark skin and pointed ears, had golden hair and heterochromia eyes, but in his case the right eye was blue and the left eye was green. He wore a blue dragon scale leather full bodysuit, covered by a white and gold vest embroidered with the sigil of Ainz Ooal Gown and a forest green-leaf cloak. Below, he had a matching short white skirt exposing his thighs, and around his neck was an acorn necklace emitting faint silver light. His slender hands were donned with shiny white silk gloves and he held a twisted black wooden staff.
The two children were Aura Bella Fiora and Mare Bello Fiore, twin Guardians of the 6th Floor created by Bukubuku Chagama.
"Greetings, Lord Naruto!" They greeted their master dutifully and with child-like joy. Naruto by instinct almost patted their heads… until he realized that they were probably older than he was and he also felt afraid that it might have been insulting to them. Most of his friends in the guild did like making odd contradictions on their characters. Take the dark elf twins for example. They were created by Bukubuku Chagama who made both of them crossdressers.
"Have you two been behaving?" Naruto asked while walking up to them. "Has anything… felt strange or different?"
"Huh? What is my lord talking about?" Aura asked with a confused expression. "Everything is still the same."
"Really? Nothing feels different whatsoever?" Naruto asked again as the twins looked at each other and shook their heads perfectly in synch at the question. The fox hybrid could only cup his chin in slight wonder, it seems that the NPCs haven't noticed a change in anything. "Well whatever, do you guys wanna help me with some training exercises? I need to test out a few things."
"L-Like what, Lord Naruto?" Mare asked.
"Well, I just need to work out for bit, been out of the game for a long time... so to speak." Naruto said while choosing his words carefully in case something could trigger them. Aura nodded dutifully as she pointed at the colosseum.
"Sure, we were heading there anyway." She said before bowing to Naruto. "Of course, you lead the way my lord." She said before grabbing her brother's head and forced him to bow as well since all he was doing was standing and staring blankly.
Naruto didn't mind that thou as he walked towards the Amphitheater with the dark elf twins following close behind, well, more like Aura was somewhat forcing Mare to follow. Once they entered it Naruto took in the sights. It was a large arena surrounded by several layers of auditorium. This oval complex had a length of one hundred eighty meters on its long axis, a width of one hundred fifty meters on the short axis as well as being forty meters tall in height. It was modeled after the Colosseum of the Roman Empire and the audience would have consisted of numerous golems that acted as spectators, but as of now it was empty. The sky shown in the Colosseum could change depending on the time of day, even showing an actual sun with the appropriate daylight effects.
There was also the VIP Lounge: a six-story complex where members of Ainz Ooal Gown would sit and oversee the invaders of Nazarick fight for their lives at their leisure. Naruto wasn't sure whose idea was it, but the main reason it came to fruition was that someone once made an off-hand joke about a famous site in Rome.
"Yep. Same as before." Naruto noted as he scanned the area and looked up at the fake sky. "Blue Planet-san's sky is intact too." Looking at the sky Naruto was again reminded on how much his guildmate was obsessed with nature. Then again, who could blame him? The real world was so polluted that it was almost unbearable.
The Real World, the one he was reborn in, was incredibly polluted and the fact that the government was very corrupted didn't help as well. Almost all of government decisions were made not by politicians, but by major corporations big shots that were backing them. Naruto had a theory that the said corporations knew that the planet is pretty much screwed, but simply didn't care and wanted to milk both the planet and the human population for all its worth before everything goes to hell.
But all of that didn't stop Naruto from doing what he could to make himself a better life. That was the main reason why he had a small, but well-trained group of builders who were equipped with the best hazmat suits money could buy. They could work for long hours outside in the polluted world without having to fear of suffocating when stepping into a dangerous zone… which same couldn't be said for the other companies who bought mass produced equipment which was prone to fail even on first time use.
It wasn't cheap to get the best equipment available and Naruto had used up all of his life savings when buying them, but it paid off big time. With the advanced hazmat suits, recycling and processing machines Naruto and his crew ventured into various danger zones to gather and recycle materials that can be used for building and craftsmanship. They still had to be extremely careful thou, since nowadays craftsmanship has become a dangerous field of work. If a single scratch or tear goes through the suit, a person could become bedridden for days in the best-case scenario.
When his team had successfully completed their very first order it felt like they had won a major battle from an ongoing war… and the victory came with great rewards! While the money received wasn't that great, but the fame that came afterwards most certainly was. The very first client spread the word about a small company of craftsmen that dared to venture out into dangerous areas to gather materials and create high quality items. The word had spread fast and since then the company had a steady stream of orders coming in. With all the money made Naruto and his colleagues were able to purchase good apartments and still had enough leftovers to actually indulge themselves. For Naruto of course, the extra pocket money went to the gaming set and Yggdrasil.
Stiil, he never allowed himself or his coworkers to take it easy during the job. Despite all of the success, all of it could be easily taken away by a simple mistake made while working in a highly polluted environment. Naruto also often felt sad during work because of how much of nature was destroyed. It always hit him even harder when he would remember how beautiful Elemental Nations were and the connection with nature he once had as a sage.
So needless to say, Naruto can understand a bit of Blue Planet's obsession to see the blue sky. Naruto used to see it regularly in his old life, and now he felt bad for taking it for granted.
Before the fox hybrid could contemplate on his thoughts further, a flickering portal opened up and Momonga stepped out of it. "Oh, Momonga." He greeted. "Did you find out anyth-… why do I get this strong feeling that you are ashamed of something?"
"Crap! You can sense it?!" The skeleton shouted out before the calming spell kicked in, making him stoic once again. "Uhhh… I'll tell you in a moment. I see that Aura and Mare are here with you."
"Yes, lord Momonga!" The tomgirl saluted while her brother tried to hide behind Naruto. "Mare~ pay your respect to Lord Momonga!"
"Its quite alright, in fact I want to do a little experiment. Aura, Mare, mind fighting something of mine while I talk to Naruto?" The undead inquired.
"Of course!" Aura quickly agreed with a big smile on her face.
Taking out the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown, he pointed it at the open area. "Summon! Primal Fire Elemental!" He called, making a red gem attached to the staff glow. A tower of fire exploded from underground, soon taking shape and form of the said elemental.
"Huh, I thought they would look bigger than that." Naruto said offhandedly as Momonga moved towards him. "So… why the shame?"
"Ugh… ah… um…I kind of groped Albedo's breasts." He said truthfully since it's best not to lie to Naruto. The fox bastard somehow could always tell when he is being lied to, even when in the game. Of course, since Momonga is now technically a fully undead skeleton and doesn't have a face, maybe he coul-…
"Ha, well I do remember that she had a setting added to make her a bitch, so it shouldn't be too much out of character for her, right?" Naruto chuckled as remembered how he helped Tabula make Albedo by hunting down some of the rare materials he needed to create her. During the creation process itself Naruto remembered taking a peak at her settings.
"Actually, before the game was shut down… I might have… accidentally… on a small miscalculation… have done something to Albedo that changed her views on me…"
"…. Well, I can't really blame you. The game was shutting down, so messing with some settings isn't that big of a deal. So, what did you change?" Naruto inquired with a smile… but the dark aura behind it made it clear that it is hiding a sinister intent.
"Well…um…" Momonga shifted around uncomfortably.
"Look, if it makes you feel any better, I promise not to get mad… too much." Naruto said before looking through his inventory for something- ah~! Momonga took a step back in slight fear as the blond took out what looked like a makeshift baseball bat and leaned it against the wall. "So, I will now ask again. What… did… you… CHANGE?"
"I uh… might have set Albedo to be completely in love with me…"
WHAM~!
"Ah it broke…" Naruto sighted as he slammed the baseball looking object down against the skeleton's head with all his force, only for nothing happen as Momonga simply stood there while shaking cowardly… with bits and pieces of the broken object surrounding him. "Damn passive skills." He chucked the broken part behind his back… bonking the fire elemental on the head and making it confused for a moment.
"I-I'm sorry, Naruto-" The skeleton stuttered while the passive calming spell was working in overdrive to keep his emotions in check.
"*sigh* What's done is done, just… promise me that you will not fret over what you did too much. We both know how often you like to overthink and blow things out of proportion." The fox ninja stated as he knew how the poor Overlord at times blamed himself too hard if he believed that he made his friends upset or hurt in some way. Even when he wasn't at fault at all.
"Lord Momonga, Lord Naruto, did you see that!?" Aura asked happily as she and Mare ran towards the two lords, albeit tired, but still enthusiastic.
"Uh, yes! Yes I did. Good work you two." Momonga nodded. "Here." He reached into a pocket dimension and pulled out a glass pitcher and two glass cups. He gave them one each and poured water into them, which they gladly drank.
"Also, here take these. They may be rare but you guys deserve it." Naruto passed them two bags of the rare Hassan's Chocolate Valentine which he received during the one-time collaboration event with FGO. "Be sure to enjoy them."
"Uwhaaa… they look so yummy!" Aura exclaimed with her eyes sparkling.
"T-Thank you lord Naruto and Lord Momonga!" Mare said and opened the bag. His eyes also began sparkling when he saw all the tiny chocolates he can choose from.
"You know, I thought you would be more scary, Lord Momonga." Aura commented before looking at Naruto. "And I thought you were gone forever, Lord Naruto… just like the others." The young elf muttered the last part silently. She was glad that besides their great ruler, another one of the Supreme Beings decided to stay with them.
"Oh?" Momonga spoke with an amused tone. "I could be more scary if you like~" The Overlord stated, trying his best to sound as evil as possible while the female elf quickly shook her head.
"No way! I like the way you are right now way better!" She quickly protested while Mare looked at Naruto with a shy look.
"Something wrong?" He asked, moving towards the boy with a kind smile.
The crossdressing male shook his head. "N-Not at all, I'm just… I'm just happy to see you again, my lord. It's been so long since we saw any of the other Supreme Beings here." He stopped as he felt Naruto's hand pet him gently on the head, comforting his very soul by such a mere gesture. Mare could only smile bashfully at him as the boy was delighted to have the 'Kindest Supreme Being' at their side once more.
"Oya? I'm the first one here?" A boastful, yet elegant voice was heard as another portal opened up to reveal a female Floor Guardian. She was a vampire of short stature and had the appearance of a buxom fourteen-year-old girl. Described as a true beauty, she has pale shiny skin, seductive crimson-red eyes, and fine facial features. Her silver hair is tied in a ponytail through a large ribbon on top of it all, allowing others full view of her face.
She wore a soft black evening dress with a big heavy skirt and on her upper body she wore lace embellished ribbon and a short tailored jacket. Her hands were donned with long lace gloves, exposing none one bit of skin. While her breasts may appear to be big, they are actually fake and her real breasts are almost completely flat, one could say they are A-cup at best. She covers this up by using an excessive amount of breast pads. This draculina was none other than Shalltear Bloodfallen, Floor Guardian of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Floors, created by Peroroncino… and by extension a bit by Naruto (IE he assisted in getting the needed materials).
"Well if it ain't Shalltear." Naruto quickly recognized her.
"My, my, not only do I get to see the personification of beauty that is Momonga, but also the personification of my desires, Lord Naruto." She swooned, her cheeks slightly dusting red while her face was alit with joy from seeing another Supreme Being that stayed with them besides Momonga.
"Shalltear, why don't you give it a rest?" Aura sighed exasperatedly at sight of the vampire clinging onto Naruto like a tramp. Wait… was she sniffing him as well?!
"Che…" Shalltear scoffed in annoyance before smirking at the young elf. "Oh? What's this? I didn't expect a child to be here! Truly, Mare, how can you stand being saddled with such a burden of an older sister?"
"Like you're one to talk when it comes to your fake boobs." Aura fired back hotly. Oh it's on now!
"How dare you! My breasts are amazing! Unlike your flat chest." Shalltear pointed while blushing once more, but this time out of embarrassment.
"True, but I'm only 76 years old. I still have room to grow. Unlike your undead body which can't grow anymore." Aura shrugged. "I bet the reason you took so long to get here was because you were busy putting more stuffing into that fake chest of yours."
"Why you little-!" Shalltear snapped and the two of them started bickering comically.
"Just like Peroroncino-san and Bukubuku Chagama-san, always arguing." Naruto sighed as his skeleton friend nodded agreement.
"It's… scary on how dead on it is." The overlord commented with crossed arms.
"What a ruckus…" A loud gruff voice complained, making everyone turn to see an enormous being of 2.5m. It had the appearance of an insect walking on two feet - a fusion between a mantis and an ant. The creature possessed a tail that was twice as long as his height and was covered in sharp spikes like icicles. His strong jaw looked like it could easily snap bones with a single bite. Two of his hands were holding a silver halberd, while the remaining two hands held a mace emitting black light and a crooked shape sheath which seems to be for a broadsword. Finally, his shoulders and back looked like uplifted icebergs. Each time he deeply exhaled it looked he was breathing out artic cold air. This was Cocytus, Guardian of the 5th Floor and the creation of Warrior Takemikazuchi.
"Cocytus, good to see you." Naruto acknowledged, remembering the insect as one of the few NPCs that he would take with him during difficult material farming events and when he needed a heavy hitter to back him up when his guildmates weren't around.
"Lord Naruto." Cocytus greeted. "I had thought you would not return."
Naruto scratched the back of his head. "Yeeah… I've been hearing that a lot lately…"
"You came, Cocytus." Momonga nodded approval.
"I always answer the summons of my lords." Cocytus bowed to them.
"Everyone, I apologize for the wait." Another voice was heard and they all turned to see the owner of it walking not too far behind from an approaching Albedo. He was a demon with dark skin and nicely combed black hair. He wore round glasses and behind them were eyes so squinty that they weren't normally visible. His pair of eyes lacked eyeballs, in fact, shining jewels with numerous small cuts took the place of his eyeballs instead. Wearing a British suit with a tie, he is dressed like a gentleman. Behind his back is a silver tail, covered with metal plates and six long spikes at the end. This was Demiurge, Guardian of the 7th Floor, created by Ulbert Alain Odle. "Oh, this is a surprise. I didn't expect Lord Naruto to return."
"Heya." Naruto greeted casually as the demon man gracefully crossed one arm across his chest and bowed respectfully in return. "I guess most of the guardians are here?"
"Yes. Gargantua remains deactivated and Victim is unable to attend." Albedo explained. "Now then, everyone! …too our Supreme Leaders, the ritual of fidelity." She said firmly before all of the gathered Floor Guardian knelt on one knee with a hand placed over their hearts.
"The Guardian of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Floors, Shalltear Bloodfallen. I bow before the Supreme Ones."
"The Guardian of the 5th Floor, Cocytus." He said as cold steam came out of his mandibles. "I bow before the Supreme Ones."
"The Guardian of the 6th Floor, Aura Bella Fiora," She said and her brother added. "A-Also the Guardian of the 6th Floor, Mare Bello Fiore," Then both of the finished in unison. "We bow before the Supreme Ones."
"The Guardian of the 7th Floor, Demiurge. I bow before the Supreme Ones."
"And I, Albedo, Overseer of the Guardians of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, bow before the Supreme Ones." She said. "Other than the Guardian of the 4th Floor, Gargantua, and Guardian of the 8th Floor, Victim, all of the Guardians have come here before you. We offer our complete loyalty to you."
"Thank you all for coming. Raise your heads." Momonga ordered while releasing a black aura.
Naruto always wondered why his friend liked putting on the act of an evil overlord, but it would be best to act normal as they did back in the game. He rather not fight all of these insanely powerful NPCs without his best equipment on hand.
"Now then, onto the topic at hand. For some reason the Great Tomb of Nazarick has been caught up in an unknown situation. Sebas, can you tell us what you saw outside the Tomb?"
"Of course. As per Supreme Ruler's orders I scouted outside of the great tomb and have discovered that we all have been transported from our Great Swamps, to a foreign grassland with flatfields as long as several kilometers around us." Sebas informed.
"Eh? No sign of humans, monsters, or any settlements within range whatsoever?" Naruto asked, remembering the basics of surviving in a foreign territory that he had learned from his teachers back in his old life.
"Not within the immediate range, but after using a few low far-sight spells I was able to spot signs of civilization. Fortunately, they are far enough away that we won't draw attention." Sebas added.
"I see. Mare… is there a way that we can blend Nazarick within our surroundings?" Momonga asked the young elf.
"U-Um… I-I could use my magic to create false hills around us and place us within a hill…" Mare offered.
"You would dare spread dirt over the glorious walls of Nazarick?" Albedo growled, looking as if she was about to pounce on her prey at moments notice.
"Albedo!" Momonga quickly spoke up. "No need to make unnecessary remarks."
"Forgive me, my lord. I was careless." She apologized instantly. Both Momonga and Naruto could only sweatdrop at how quickly she can changed her demeanor.
"Mare, can it be done?" Momonga inquired.
"Yes… although…" Mare nodded, but then became a bit unsure in her suggestion.
"I understand. Having one large hill would stand out too much." Momonga nodded in understanding before looking at the butler. "Sebas, are there any hills in the area?"
"None, my lord. The area is barren. We are completely isolated." Sebas answered.
"I see." The skeleton muttered.
"Then just make more." Naruto suggested. "I often seen landscapes that did have either a single or more hills in them. While I admit it isn't the best way of hiding from prying eyes, but until we can come up with a better solution, it will do a better job than doing nothing at all." He explained his reasoning and the undead skeleton man nodded in agreement. "We can also use some illusion magic as well to make the scenery appear more natural."
"Hmm… considering our current situation, those are valid ideas. Demiurge, Albedo, I have a task for you both." Momonga faced the two Guardians.
"Yes, my Lord?" Both of them bowed at the same time.
"I want you two to work with the other Floor Guardians and our intelligence department to build a stronger information gathering network as quickly as possible and to fortify our defenses."
"As you command." Demiurge bowed deeper.
"Finally, before you leave to your assigned duties I would like to ask each of you… what kind of being am I to you all?" He stated his question and turned to the True Vampire. "First, Shalltear."
"Crystallizations of beauty, the most beautiful creature in the world." Shalltear answered while blushing.
"Cocytus."
"Stronger than all of the Guardians, a king worthy of being the absolute ruler of the Great Tomb of Nazarick." The warrior answered proudly.
"Aura."
"Merciful, as well as someone who excels in foresight." The female dark elf answered excitedly.
"Mare."
"Caring and compassionate to those who stand beside them." The male dark elf answered while bowing.
"Demiurge."
"A being who makes wise decisions and acts upon them efficiently. Someone that not even God could hold a candle to. The very personification of the word 'inscrutable.'" The devil stated firmly.
"Sebas."
"The head of all the Supreme Beings and a merciful leader who stayed behind until the end." The butler answered while bowing in respect.
"And lastly, Albedo."
"The ones who rules over all of us. The ones who stayed behind and continued to be the most Supreme Being. And the man who I'm in love with!" Albedo replied hotly while blushing extremely at the last part.
"I-I see…!" Momonga stuttered. "Ahem... and what of Lord Naruto?" He asked as the blonde hybrid raised his hands in panics.
"Whoa, whoa, don't push me into the spotlight like that!"
Shalltear was all too eager to be the first one to speak up once more. "Lord Naruto is the embodiment of every woman's desires and someone I love with all of my being." She said in the same manner Albedo did with Momonga.
Aura glared at the flat board of a Vampire. "I see him as a great warrior… and a loyal and kind master to us all!"
"A being who can handle any ambush and trickery, from even the strongest opponents. Someone who can never back down." The ice clad insect stated respectfully to the ninja.
"A paragon of virtue to us servants who were deemed worthy of serving him." Mare said with a small smile on his face.
Demiurge spoke up next while smiling excitedly at the man. "A being of the most unpredictable nature and someone who possesses same great intelligence as our Supreme Ruler does."
"A merciful and fair Supreme Being who is not afraid to enforce justice." Sebas finished last with a shadow of a smile and a bit more emotion in his words.
"Er-hem, I have heard all of your thoughts and accept them. Continue working faithfully in our names!" Momonga declared before he and Naruto teleported away to a hallway that led to the Throne Room… and a moment later he started pacing around the hall.
"What is with their glorious views of me!?" Momonga panicked before the calming spell took over.
"Gahahaahahaha~!" Naruto could not help but laugh excitedly after hearing the Floor Guradians description of him… and totally missed Momonga's cry of despair.

After the Supreme Beings left, the remaining Floor Guardians started chatting among themselves, discussing future plans and the best ways to please their rules. But it wasn't long before they heard a strong, refined and elegant voice speak up. "Hmph, seems I missed the Lords speech."
The Overseer of the Tomb frowned before greeting the new arrival. "Oh, Lady-"
The woman lifted her hand. "Stop." She interrupted; causing Albedo to frown even more while the others turn to face the woman… some were smiling happily at her presence. "I only came here to check if Naruto has indeed returned."
Albedo's frown turned into an intense glare that was shared among some of the other guardians. "Such insolence! I strongly suggest that you address them as Lords! Do not forget your station!"
Instead of getting angry the woman remained calm. "It seems that you are the one who forgot that I have the same level of authority as you do, Albedo. I was created to view all Supreme Being as equals, with not one of them standing above the other." The woman replied while Demiurge nodded earnestly at her words.
"Yes, that is why Lord Naruto created you. To ensure sure that his and other Supreme Beings goals are upheld in his absence." The demon stated with a large smile. "I do admit your status does irk me at times, but your work ethic and dedication to your duties for the sake of our masters is truly awe inspiring."
"Hmph…." The woman hummed before turning to the only member of the group that was still bowing after the Supreme Beings left. "What is wrong with Shalltear Bloodfallen?"
"Pardon me… It seems that my underwear had been dampened after being in Lord Naruto's presence after such a long time." She said with a faint blush.
"YOU FILTHY BITCH!" Albedo shouted.
"Bitch?" Shalltear exclaimed before a smirk came across her face. "Sorry, Albedo. But to me, if any woman doesn't get wet from that, she must be starving!"
"Like you're one to talk you lamprey!" Albedo crossed her arms to give off a haughty look. "Keep flapping those fangs, see where it gets you! You will be never good enough for Lord Naruto! HE DESERVS A WOMAN OF A HIGHER CALIBER! JUST LIKE HOW I AM TO LORD MOMONGA!"
"I think we'll leave the women to you, Aura." Demiurge said, before the male Guardians started to take off.
"Wait, Demiurge! You're leaving me with them!?" Aura started to panic and pointed at the woman who came recently. "She's the one who-"
"I only keep the order." The woman stated while lifting her head in a noble like manner. "I do not settle childish disputes over childish reasons. I shall return to my other duties."
"If it gets bloody, I'll intervene." Demiurge waved off before moving towards the woman, striking up a conversation with her.
"I still have no clue as to why women fight like that." Cocytus commented. "Seriously… is this really something worth fighting over?"
"Cocytus! You are not helping!" Aura exclaimed.
"Personally, their vitriol aside, I'm interested in seeing the results of their dispute for myself." Demiurge admitted.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Mare questioned.
"Think about it. The Supreme Beings should have heirs, no? Lord Momonga has stayed with us until the end and Lord Naruto was away for a long time. I remembered the other Supreme Ones talking how he had duties of high importance to attend to and rarely visited. After he returned I figured that he was done with them. But what if Lord Naruto and even Lord Momonga leave this place just like the other Supreme Beings did? It would be nice if they would leave behind descendants we could pledge our fidelity to."
"You mean… one of them could be a wife of one the Supreme Beings'?" Mare asked while Aura turned fifty-five shades of red in the span of a second as she thought at the possibility of being a wife too.
"What kind of blasphemy are you spouting?!" Cocytus snapped, having a hard time understanding the devil's words.
"Think about it. Wouldn't it be nice to pledge our loyalty to Lord Momonga's and Lord Naruto's descendants too?" Demiurge questioned.
"Pledge ourselves to their descendants?" Cocytus inquired, clearly confused. But then it hit him. "Hmm… that would actually be nice… No, it's wonderful! What a wonderful situation!" He shouted out as he was now in his own world imagination. "Ahhhh… and I'll be called Uncle Cocytus! And they would be riding on my shoulders sometimes! And I would have the honor of teaching the children of the ones who I respect the most!" Lifting his arms up high while imagining the children of both Naruto and Momonga cheering him to lift them up.
"By the way, Mare. Why are you dressed as a girl?" Demiurge asked, taking a gander at the male elf's clothes.
"Oh, Lady Bukubku Chagama told me to wear it. Saying something about me being an, 'otoko no ko' or something like that." Mare explained.
"Hmmmm… then perhaps all boys in Nazarick should be dressed like that. This is worth looking into." Demiurge pondered. "Now then, Cocytus, come back to reality, please."
"Truly, what a wonderful thing. Yes indeed…" Cocytus said bashfully.
"Good for you." Demiurge replied. "Albedo, Shalltear, are you two done fighting?"
"Seems like it. But now they're just arguing." Aura sighed as the succubus and the vampire were exhausted from growling and snarling like rabid dogs. Although she could now understand why being a wife of the most powerful beings is a natural response. It was something that was often done in the Elf kingdom from what she had learned from reading in the Great Library, although… she did wonder why there was a section in the library for the Supreme Beings called 'Secret H Collection, members only.' Perhaps there was forbidden knowledge in there? Before she could ponder more about it, she heard the heard the female vampire speak up.
"We decided to finish this another time..." Shalltear panted.
"We will call it a draw for now…" Albedo agreed while also panting.
"I guess the argument is settled… for the moment. Now, don't you have orders to give, Albedo?" Demiurge reminded.
"Yes, of course." Albedo nodded in confirmation after fixing her disheveled dress.

Armory Room

Three days of almost none stop work went by in Nazarick. Momonga and Naruto took the time to get used to their new bodies and their new abilities based on their race. From what Momonga had learned about himself, even though he took on the magician class, since he's Level 100, he should have enough strength to wield a sword, but… the fact that he can't wield weapons outside of his class hasn't changed. Not to mention he doesn't feel fear or unease at all with his new form. Maybe he's grown physically as well as mentally?
"Hmm…" Naruto hummed as he saw the skeleton trying to swing a blade, only for the weapon to suddenly phase out of his hands. "So, it looks like I can't be a caster unless the class allows it, and you can't be a warrior as well."
"Yes…" Momonga sighted in disappointment.
"Well that limits me as well, despite most of my equipment being Rare Gacha items that can be equipment due to stats and not classes. These items do give me a bigger variety of attacks, but they are not on the same power level that other classes are specialized in. I've also been thinking…. what if this new world doesn't have magic? If they see you or me…" Naruto trailed off, cupping his chin at the thought of them being herald as either gods or demons.
"It would prove… difficult." Momonga agreed. After thinking for a bit, he suddenly came up with an idea. "Create Greater Item!" At that point, a white light washed over him, after it faded away it revealed the undead now fully covered in jet-black body armor adorned with purple and golden markings. He also wore a red cape out of respect for Touch Me.
"Wow, looking pretty nice." Naruto joked while looking at the new black jet armor that looked almost similar to the one Touch Me owned. "Hmm… I can tell that this armor is only a relic-class item, but since it was created from your magic and is of a much lower grade, you are able to wear it without suffering class penalties."
Momonga took the sword again and this time was able to grab it firmly without it slipping out of his fingers. He then did a test swing, creating a small gust of wind momentarily. "Hmm… your deduction is correct. If I create a lower grate item out of magic, like this armor, I can use it without class restriction."
"That sounds awesome, but do take into account that this pure magic armor doesn't get chipped or warped by damage. We gotta make some actual equipment in case we need to look like real mortals and not overpower players." Naruto suggested while the metal clad skeleton looked at him.
"You… are adapting to this new world situation rather well. I'm surprised." Momonga stated as he wasn't sure how Naruto is able to deal with the sudden turn of events. Momonga can chalk it up to his new uncaring nature as an Undead, but Naruto is still technically a heteromorphic being with life. He should have a relatively normal flow of emotions compared to himself. Then again, from what he heard the other guild members talk about him, it seemed Naruto's life was quite hectic since his real-life job was very risky. It wouldn't be too much out of ordinary if the blond gained strong mental fortitude because of it.
"Let's just say I get used to strange thing pretty easy." Naruto shrugged offhandedly. "Anyways, wanna actually step out of the tomb and see what the new world is actually like?"
"That does sound pretty interesting. Very well then, I shall take up on that offer." The undead stated before leaving the room while still wearing his creation.
Using their Rings of Ainz Ooal Gown, the special rings that allowed them to traverse between the floors of their guild with ease, the two of them teleported to the first floor. As they made their way out, they were suddenly greeted by three of the Evil Lords that guarded the Seventh Floor.
The first was Jealousy, a feminine-looking monster dressed in a tight-fitting bondage outfit with a crow head.
The second was Avarice who wore a full plate armor that was open at the chest, proudly revealing his abdominal muscles. He possessed two black bat wings and two horns were protruding from its temples. To some, he might look like a beautiful young man, however, if they looked closely at his eyes, they would notice a cold desire in them that knew no limit.
Lastly was Wrath, having the appearance of a fearsome demon with fangs protruding from his mouth and his body covered in scales. He had stout arms and sharp claws, as well as flaming wings and a snake-like tail.
"Whoa, I thought those were on our side?" Naruto said while getting into a fighting stance, but Momonga raised his hand to stop him when he spotted Demiurge among them.
"My lords, why are you two here?" The 7th Floor Guardian questioned. "And that armor…"
'How did he know it was me?!' Momon thought. 'No, wait… the only person who can teleport within Nazarick would have a guild ring. Of course he would know.' The undead quickly answered. "A-Ah, res. There's a special reason for it." He explained in a serious voice… even though the two of them just wanted to go out for some fresh air!
"I see… you wish to inspect Mare's work yourselves without drawing attention. Very clever, my lords." Demiurge noted.
"Eh?" Momon muttered silently.
'He totally has the wrong idea…' Naruto thought. 'Just how did this devil come up with such an explanation?!'
"Uh, yes! Yes indeed!" The undead decided to go along with the ruse.
"And he is using this as an excuse... well, as long as Demiurge believes it, I guess it's okay" Naruto mentally face palmed at how ridiculous this situation was.
"Allow me to accompany you my lords, just in case. One must not be unguarded when treading into an unknown territory." Demiurge offered.
"Very well." Momonga agreed after considering it for a moment.
"You sure? I mean, we can take care of ourselves, y'know?" Naruto whispered silently.
"If it's just him alone, I see no harm in that." Momonga replied.
"Thank you for granting me such a selfish request." Demiurge thanked before standing up and the three of them began walking out of the tomb.
After walking for a bit they soon spotted the entrance to the Great Tomb of Nazarick, and beyond the entrance they spotted a faint glow. After passing through the entrance they were greeted by the sight of a beautiful night sky filled with many bright stars of the cosmos. There were almost no clouds in sight, or harsh weather, only a faint soft breeze and the small lights dancing in the sky.
"Whoa…" Naruto's eyes widened in awe. "Even in my wildest dreams I could never image a more beautiful sky then this." He commented as a faint, almost invisible yellow glow covered his body for a moment. After it faded small, transparent and faintly glowing yellow clouds materialized around his ankles. A moment later, he was slowly lifted of the ground and flew towards the sky.
'This is incredible! I've never seen so many stars like this!' Momonga thought in amazement. 'The fake sky that Blue Planet-san made on the sixth floor was already pretty amazing, but… this is even more so!'
Reaching into his Item Box, Momonga pulled out a necklace that had a crystal shaped like a wing and wore it around his neck. "Fly!" He said before flying upwards quickly.
"Hey wait up!" Naruto called out as the small clouds glowed a bit brighter, making Naruto fly faster in return. Not wanting to be left out, Demiurge exposed his wings and his face morphed into reptilian one. He then quickly flew up and followed after them.
Momonga kept going higher and higher before finally breaking through the clouds. Taking off his helmet, he saw the bright full moon and the stars that glittered about it while overlooking the planet.
'I wish you could see this, Blue Planet-san. This world is beautiful!' Momonga thought.
"Man, it kinda makes feel a little sad that we don't have our friends here to see this. Touch Me would've loved to experience saving others here, while Nishikienrai would've loved to explore new places while showing off his fighting style." Naruto smiled sadly while gazing at the stars.
"This world… this sky… it's almost like a box of jewels glittering…" Momonga commented while gazing all around him.
"I believe this world shines so that you and Lord Naruto can adorn yourselves with its riches." Demiurge said after catching up with them.
"Hmph… that may be so. Maybe we were brought to this world for that very reason... but… it's not something I should hoard all to myself. Nazarick and everyone in Ainz Ooal Gown should be adorned with this world's riches." Momonga exclaimed after thinking for a bit.
"Dude… that was so corny..." Naruto deadpanned, thinking how the undead is acting like an Overlord again and spouting dramatic spiel… but he will admit that it did sound pretty nice…. and that it also made him appreciate Momonga as dear friend even more.
"If you wish it to be so, then we shall use all the forces of Nazarick to obtain it for you." Demiurge bowed deeply.
"Heh, that does sound pretty exciting… taking all of it for ourselves." Naruto muttered out. While he is not really a bad guy, but after hanging out with a group of players who liked to roleplay as the villains for long time, some things do tended to rub off onto ya.
"Hmhmhm… even if we don't know what's out there?" Momonga chuckled while looking at the moon. "Then again… taking over the world might be interesting."
While the two Supreme Being where deep in their thoughts, they both failed to notice Demiurge's look of awe at his rulers' 'goals', not realizing that they were only joking.
"Still… you think we're the only ones that came here?" Naruto wondered. "Maybe the others came here too."
"I do hope so. While I am extremely glad you are here with me… but-"
"Yeah, yeah, I know." Naruto waved him off childishly, knowing that Momonga would have wanted the whole guild to be together again. "You know… if they are out here in this world, no matter how slim the chance is… we could reach out to them by spreading the name of Ainz Ooal Gown, right?"
"That… might actually work!" Momonga agreed while looking towards his friend. "It might take a long and it might also prove to be fruitless in the end… but if there is possibility that they were also transported here just like us, we definitely have to find them!"
"Hah! Count me in! We'll have to come up with some kind of plan but for now, this is a start." Naruto nodded with excitement at the idea. They then heard the sound of rumbling from down below and they looked down to see four surges of earth rushing towards the walls of Nazarick. "Earth Surge." He noted. "Looks like Mare isn't wasting any time."
"Hmm… perhaps we should check up on him." Momonga offered. "Demiurge, what kind of reward should I give him?"
"I think he would be happy just from being able to talk with you again." The devil suggested.
"If its all the same to you two, I'm going to bed… I'm feeling quite tired from the past few days." Naruto said with a yawn and his friend nodded. "Don't stay up too late." He waved them off.

Hallway leading towards Naruto's room

Naruto walked down the hallway while cycling through the various weapons in his own dimensional inventory box. "Scythe, bows, dual blades…" He muttered while making a mental list.
"Lord Naruto…"
CLING~!
Like a loud pin, the fox-man's heartbeat dropped to near zero when he heard that person. Slowly, almost mechanically, he turned to the source of the voice. "K-K-Kaguya…"
There stood one of the beings he had defeated before and recreated into this new world. The Keeper of Knowledge and Order within Nazarick, Kaguya Otsutsuki.
She was a pale-skinned woman with delicate facial features. She had extremely long, sweeping white hair. She possessed white clear eyes and her eyebrows were cut very short and round. She wore a red shade of lipstick on her lips. She also wore a high-collared hime-kimono which had tomoe running down the center and the edges. The most noticeable feature were the two brown horns that stuck out from her head. While Naruto doesn't claim to have the best memory around, he was still able to recreate Kaguya's appearance almost perfectly. The one thing that he did purposely left out was the third eye she had back in his old life. To Naruto, it simply brought too many bad nightmares when he remembered just how powerful it was when she used it against him.
"Be at ease, Naruto." She said calmly. "You have nothing to fear."
"Um… what brings you here, Kaguya?" Naruto questioned warily after finally recollecting himself when he remembered that she was an NPC that he himself had created. She wasn't the same person as the other Kaguya… but she was still VERY close to it appearance vise!
"I have…" She spoke while taking out a tome and opening it. "Been gathering information, then archiving and cataloging it. Those are some of duties that you have given me when I was created after all. I have attained a mass of information for you to read and look over." She stated firmly while looking intently at Naruto.
"Umm… do I have to do that now?" Naruto asked while now feeling both weary and incredibly scared!
"Yes, you do. I have already done this with Momonga. He-" She was interrupted when her eyes suddenly turned blue, and after a few moments they returned back to their original milky white color. "Hmm, odd, I just received a broadcasted message that Momonga wishes to be addressed as Ainz from now on…"
"Ooh… he already thought of the first steps of the plan himself…" Naruto said as the woman began to write in her large tome.
"Making a note of that right now… finished. Now then, onto your schedule." Kaguya said after putting away the pen. She waved her free hand and made a magical, almost transparent clock appear above the book. "You have forty-eight hours to sort through all of the gathered information. Twenty-four if we take away bathroom breaks and sleeping time." She then firmly grabbed his shoulder while a sweet smile graced her lips. "And… I do hope that after you left us for such a long you will want to spend as much time as possible with us now that you have returned, right? It was quite rude of you to run away like that when all I wanted to do was to discuss Nazarick's current state of affairs after being transported to this new world. After all, I was only fulfilling the duties that you gave me…"
Damn! That was an iron-clad way of guilt tripping him. "Fiiine… let's go…" He agreed dejectedly and went towards his room with a sulky walk.
With his back turned, Kaguya secretly smiled motherly at him. Despite what she had said, it was truly for his own good that she was pestering him this way. Being the keeper of knowledge and order may be part of her main duties… but being someone who provides guidance and advice was something that Naruto made sure was also of equal importance when he created her… and a small hidden part of her wanted to get back at him for being away for so long. She looked at the cover of her tome and smiled mischievously. "Oh dear… this is quite a lot of information to work with. Oh well, it's not like he is going anywhere."
CHAPTER END
AK: I hope you like it as much as I wrote it! Naruto is not going to evil nor as good, he is there as moral gray as some of the things Ainz has done were…dark. So he is going to be that one guy who has a problem and will voice it, and as you noticed we got Kaguya. Please note that she isn't the same one from his universe but a new one created like the other NPC's that he created. And rest assure she isn't the only one to appear I got more incoming.
