Hey everyone, welcome back. I was surprised and happy to see the love this story was getting and the reviews giving me recommendations. I will still take more recommendations for women and other things, but give me reasons for using them. It's easy to just say 'give him Anko and Tsunade!' but I want to know why he should get them and I don't mean just because they are hot and/or have large breasts.

Anyway, this will show Naruto getting some needed knowledge, items, skills, him getting his first subordinate, and of course his levels from last chapter, which I'm sure a few of you may have forgotten about.

Oh, and I am changing a few things of the Naruto-verse to give Naruto a potential lover that is both kinky and not kinky at the same time. It will appease a request I have gotten REPEATEDLY for her and thus will work as I have an idea for something for Naruto that could have worked without me doing this, but this solves one request.

Oh yeah, I know there is no Civilian Council and I frankly don't care as it gives more people to bash, even if most are technically OCs, and can be used in one way or another.

OH! I am not doing the experience count. I know it doesn't seem as much like an RPG without it, but with so many different games having different counts for each level and me having to come up with the amount he would get from different events and enemies, it would slow the update speed VERY VERY MUCH! So, I apologize if that is a problem, but I am not going to do experience point counts.

WARNING: This WILL BE AN OP NARUTO FIC! While he won't be defeating Orochimaru for a ways into the story, he is definitely going to be beyond any Genin, and I DO mean ANY Genin, and he will beyond quite a few Chunin before the Chunin Exams occur. So for example the Wave arc: He can keep pace with Zabuza for a time, but can't beat him, while Haku can be defeated by Naruto.

Well, hope y'all enjoy this, let's get to what y'all are here for.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, Overlord, or a few things here, would be nice if I did, but I don't.

Chapter 2: Heritage

Hokage Tower

Naruto frowned slightly as Hiruzen brought up his heritage as during his time in the tomb he had made some connections about him and his potential family and it had shocked him that he had never noticed or realized it, "I assume you mean about me being the son of the Fourth and the Red Death?"

Naruto stated and the two widened their eyes, "How did-?"

He started and Naruto shrugged, "If you take away my whisker marks and age me a bit, then I look like the Fourth and the only noteworthy Uzumaki to ever be in the village were Mito Uzumaki and Kushina 'Red Death' Uzumaki, so it wasn't like it took a lot of thought to figure out."

He stated and the two smacked their foreheads while muttering how stupidly obvious it was before Hiruzen straightened himself, "Well Naruto you are partially correct." He stated and Naruto raised an eyebrow, "You see, Minato Namikaze, the Fourth, was your father, but Kushina was a surrogate mother to you as it was unknown if your real mother could have children so they used an operation to put her egg into Kushina and then fertilized it with Minato's sperm. What I am saying is, you technically have 2 mothers, and have DNA from both, but Kushina is technically not your real mother."

Hiruzen stated and Naruto blinked, "Huh wasn't seeing that coming. So who is my actual mother?"

He asked and Hiruzen sighed, "We don't know much, all we do know is that her name was Hyppolita and she didn't come from any known clan or anything, so we know next to nothing about her."

He stated and Naruto nodded, "And I assume all three are dead?"

He stated sadly and Hiruzen sighed, "Your father and mother are, but we don't know about Kushina. You see Naruto, the night you were born, the Kyubi attacked and…"

"And my father sealed it into me. I figured, I've seen the seal on my stomach and I know it's some hybrid of a storage and containment seal meant to keep something strong in and then you count in the night of my birth, the Fourth dying while allegedly killing the Kyubi, the villagers disliking me, and the fact that Mito Uzumaki was reportedly the one who kept the Kyubi from aiding Madara when he fought Hashirama Senju, which means that she probably helped him and possibly others with containment seals, and that gives you my father using me to contain the demon."

Naruto stated and Hiruzen and Danzo blinked owlishly before nodding, "I suppose that is fair and I never realized how foolish the people of the village must be to not make the connections of your family and the Kyubi."

Hiruzen stated and Danzo nodded before clearing his throat, "Anyway, Naruto about your family: The Namikaze were actually the owners of the land that Konoha was built on and were close friends with the Daimyo and as such the different businesses here that weren't belonging to the Namikaze had to pay a tax to the Namikaze family. With you as the heir, you stand to inherit 33% of the village, but the damn civilian council and those two fools of advisors have ruined the buildings in hope that if someone ever should come for the businesses, then they could buy them cheap."

Danzo stated while growling since he was friends with Minato, Kushina, and Hyppolita and hated the fools for using their legacy like this. Hiruzen nodded, "Not only that, but they have attempted to dig into the Namikaze and Uzumaki clan accounts multiple times but the Daimyo put them under his jurisdiction to keep them safe."

Hiruzen stated and Naruto nodded, "Good to know, so either of you know where an appropriate place for me to set as my base is?"

He stated and Hiruzen nodded, "Yes, Kushina's homeland of Whirlpool would serve you well, it was brought down in the second shinobi war when three villages and some minor villages banded together and attacked all at once and was the seat of power for quite a few Overlords. You should find some suitable buildings, fortifications, and other things there that will serve you well… once you fix them up of course."

He stated and Naruto nodded, "Where is it? Also, I need permission to leave and still take the graduation exam in six months. Oh! And is there a clone jutsu that specifically requires a lot of chakra but not a lot of control?"

He asked and Hiruzen blinked before nodding, "Whirlpool is about a week's journey from here, I'll send a notification to Iruka, and yes there is one. Hang on a second."

Hiruzen stated before rising and grabbing a scroll from a safe in the wall and opening it to the specific jutsu before handing it to Naruto. Naruto read it over, seeing it was the Shadow Clone Jutsu, and noticed the part that informed him that they give memories and can act autonomously before he looked to Hiruzen with a sweatdrop, "Uh, Jiji, why don't you use this jutsu for paperwork so you can get done faster?"

Naruto asked and both looked at him with a twitching eyebrow before slamming their heads into nearby objects while muttering how stupid they were. However, that only lasted a few seconds before Naruto was swallowed by a hug from Hiruzen, "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!"

He shouted repeatedly and Naruto chuckled slightly, "No problem Jiji, though I was wondering if you had any books on defense strategies, politics, diplomacy, economics, seals, and basic leadership skills and any low class jutsu and chakra exercises that I could learn?"

He asked and Hiruzen thought for a moment before nodding and grabbing a decent stack of books and five scrolls. Naruto looked them over with his eye; NOTICE: Bonus of Prodigy Apprentice is not counted due to these not being training from someone: Castle Defenses Through the Ages: +5 to Tactics and Engineering; The Political Battlefield: +5 to Politics and Diplomacy; Diplomatic Relations and How to Utilize Them: +5 to Diplomacy and Politics; Economics: How to Build Your Economy to Great Heights or Bring it Crashing Down: +10 to Economics and Leadership; Common and Uncommon Seals of the World: +10 to Seals; Shadow Weapon Jutsu: Using shadow clone jutsu on a weapon of any kind and is very effective when used on throwing/thrown weapons; Clone Explosion Jutsu: Overload the chakra stored in clones causing them to explode violently; Chakra Breath: Utilizing your chakra, you can either hold your breath or make it so you can slow your breathing to varying degrees depending on the amount of chakra you put in and continue feeding it; Beginner Chakra Exercises; Intermediate Chakra Exercises.

Naruto was impressed with the examples and was happy to utilize these techniques as he had heard from Itachi about a friend of his who was ruthless and cunning with just the Shunshin jutsu. He was also grateful that his inventory didn't count books and scrolls, outside of storage scrolls which weighed more than a normal scroll, as weight in his inventory, "Thanks Jiji, I look these over tonight and head for Whirlpool tomorrow, but I assume that I can't go alone."

Naruto stated and Hiruzen nodded, "That is correct Naruto, Danzo and I both will pick someone to accompany you and ensure nothing goes wrong."

He stated and Naruto nodded before he frowned slightly, partially at seeing his option to use skills for a bit of conversation and chose it before saying what came to his brain, "Jiji, I think you should let Danzo-Jiji resume his Root program, but refined in a way that it isn't cruel." Naruto stated to the older men's shock, both that he knew of Root and was saying to reinstate it, and Naruto sighed, "Itachi and I were close and he told me about some things in the village as a way to ensure I knew a bit about the world and Root was one of them. You should allow him to use Root as both a security force, since the Uchiha are essentially gone at the moment, and an espionage group which is what they excel at. In return, he will allow you to approve of the targets and he won't do the emotionless training unless the subordinates request it and will focus on making them elite saboteurs and guardians of the village. Anyone visiting our village will think twice about any funny business if they see actual patrols of highly skilled ninja and this would also alleviate some of the Anbu's work load and stress level and give us more ninja for missions and village protection."

Naruto stated reasonably, while thanking his new intelligence and his leadership, planning, ingenuity, and tactics skills, with planning, tactics, and ingenuity apparently being inherent but needed a boost at the moment. Both men blinked before looking to each other in silent communication on why they could never come to that agreement before looking back to Naruto and Hiruzen nodded, "That… is acceptable Naruto. Thank you for that."

Hiruzen stated while not believing how easily he could have compromised with his old rival and made Konoha stronger. Naruto grinned before he remembered, "Oh! Jiji, is there a ninja or weapons shop I could go to? I have quite a few items from the tomb that I would like to sell since they aren't all that good and I have the best on me at the moment. I also have some venom and webbing sacs from the spiders as well as a stinger and pincer of the queen. Oh, and is there a place I can exchange money? The tomb had some treasure in it, but it was in the form of coins."

Naruto asked and clarified and Hiruzen nodded before writing down an address, "Yes, Higurashi's should be acceptable to you and be able to stock your supplies if needed and here is a place where you should be able to exchange whatever you have and the person there works for the Daimyo and thus cannot be against you due to the Civilian Council not being able to influence them. Oh and here is permission for you to carry your weapons in the village without my Anbu or others trying to stop you. As for the sacs, you can give them to Inoichi Yamanaka and/or Shibi Aburame and they will put them to good use. As for the pincer and stinger, you can sell those to a weapons or material shop and they should be able to give you a fair price or you can even keep them and perhaps find someone who truly wants it and get a larger reward. Also Naruto, should you come into a decent amount of money, come see me and I can show you your properties and ensure the money goes to the right people to spruce up the locations."

Hiruzen stated and Naruto nodded before Danzo spoke, "And if you need anything discreetly brought into the village, or Whirlpool when you get it running, or something found and/or retrieved then contact me and I can have the Root retrieve it and get it in place to be delivered."

Danzo stated and Hiruzen spoke again, "And if there are any buildings within Fire Country you wish to buy, then I can get in touch with the Fire Daimyo and get it done without the Civilians or the two Elders interfering."

Naruto nodded, "And I'll be happy to invest in other areas of Konoha including ones that are outside of the areas I own property in. Plus aid in anything else the village needs in supplies, minerals, and metals once I get my home up and running again and begin making alliances with other places."

He stated and both men nodded with smiles, "Jiji, I know my parents probably had a rule about me taking the name of my father, but is there a way around that now?"

He asked and Hiruzen frowned in thought, "Perhaps, you can take the name when you become a Genin if you can achieve a fraction of what your predecessor possessed. You will have to have at least one escort just to be on the safe side."

Hiruzen stated and Naruto nodded before Hiruzen gave Naruto three letters and a key to his new home and Naruto shook their hands and left the office while the two former rivals sat there in silence for a moment, while feeling the awe and surprised feelings from the Anbu guarding the room. Hiruzen lit his pipe and looked to his old friend and rival, "He is going to make Konoha even stronger."

Hiruzen stated and Danzo nodded, "Indeed. Now, shall we discuss business?"

He asked and Hiruzen nodded, while giving a hard look to his Anbu, who gulped and got the silent threat that nothing was to be spoken about what was said in the room or they would pay dearly for it.

With Naruto

Naruto was walking down the street towards the address Hiruzen gave him while ignoring the looks from people, both civilian and ninja alike, and idly noticed a few women and girls blushing as they looked at him. He frowned as he instinctually knew their different sizes and such and decided to consult the book on how he knew this and how he knew different ways to push their buttons and make them putty in his hands.

Breaking from his thoughts, he noticed he was approaching his former crush's, as his new intelligence showed him he shouldn't chase a girl who was just going to beat on him regardless of what he felt towards her, Sakura Haruno's, mother Mebuki Haruno, who was one of the more tolerable members of the Civilian Council. Deciding to be courteous, he stopped, "Hello Mebuki-san."

Naruto stated and Mebuki turned to see Naruto and widened her eyes at him, and had a minor blush, "Naruto-san?! What happened to you?"

She asked and Naruto nervously chuckled, "A lot, but don't worry I'm fine."

He stated and Mebuki frowned and nodded, "Alright, just be careful. You're too young to be risking your life so much."

She stated and Naruto snorted, "No offense Mebuki-san, but I plan to be a ninja, that means I am not too young for anything once I graduate. I'll be expected to kill and other things that are not 'appropriate' for my age, so there is no reason to worry about it since it will probably happen at times."

Naruto stated before bidding her goodbye and walked off while Mebuki was stuck on the 'not too young for anything' part he stated as she did find him cute and his scar did give him a more mature look. Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, or trying to anyway, she went about her business.

Back with Naruto, he found the money exchange area and traded his 75 gold pieces for 50,000 Ryo and began walking towards the weapon shop only to be stopped by a Jonin with long raven hair and pure crimson eyes, "You there! You aren't supposed to wield weapons unless you are a ninja or a samurai."

She stated, while admittedly the boy had some looks to him for being young, and Naruto merely blinked at her, "Oh, one moment miss." He stated before pausing, "I am going to take a piece of normal paper out of my pocket, please do not attack me for doing so."

He stated before pulling the paper out and handing it to the woman who read it over before blinking in surprise, "I see, I apologize then."

She stated while handing the paper back to him and he nodded, "It is no trouble, I am more surprised no one tried to stop me sooner. Well, I better be off. I am sorry for taking your time, Jonin-san."

He stated before walking off while the woman looked after him before Anko came out of a nearby restaurant and walked up to her, "Kurenai-chan, what are you doing?"

She asked and the now named Kurenai blinked before turning to her, "I saw a young man walking around with weapons and stopped him, but he had permission from Lord Hokage to carry them so I let him go."

She stated and Anko raised an eyebrow, "What guy?"

She asked and Kurenai frowned, "Blond hair, whisker marks, scar from his head to under his ear, wore a chest piece, carried a sword, shield, and crossbow, while wearing gauntlets and dark orange pants."

She stated and Anko blinked in surprise, "Wow, so the kid got out alright."

She stated with a smirk and Kurenai frowned, "What do you mean?"

She asked and Anko smirked, "I saw that kid go into the Forest of Death and followed him. I then saw him avoid animals like a pro, take out a spider with one kunai and then strip it clean, take down a large tiger by himself, and then he took out a nest of spiders by himself."

She stated casually while Kurenai was shocked. Back with Naruto, he had found the shop he was looking for, but paused at hearing a very loud 'WHAT?!' from somewhere. He shrugged it off and entered the shop to see walls of weapons and racks of clothing all throughout the store. Reaching the counter, Naruto tapped a small bell to get someone to the front and waited a few moments. The door to the back opened to show a large burly man and a girl with her hair in buns. The man wiped some soot off and approached the counter and looked at Naruto with interest since he hadn't seen weapons or armor like that in a long time and the girl was doing the same, "Yes, what can I do for you?"

He asked in a gruff voice and Naruto blinked a few times, "Well, the Hokage told me I should be able to get some equipment here and sell quite a few items here that I came across."

He stated and the man raised an eyebrow, "You a ninja?"

He asked and Naruto shook his head, "Not yet, but I have a trip coming up that requires me to have an escort and I am allowed to carry weapons within the village. Plus, it would be better to have the equipment now and be used to it before I become a ninja so I won't have to when I am an actual ninja."

Naruto stated and the man nodded understandingly, "True and fair enough kid. So what kind of items are we talking about?"

He asked and Naruto began setting crossbows, axes, swords, shields, different pieces of armor, the tiger skin, claws, and teeth; and a piece of ore he found at one point. The man widened his eyes slightly at the arsenal the boy had, as did the girl, and let out a whistle, "Damn kid, that's quite a bit. It will probably take me a bit to go through it all, if you want you can look through the shop and see if there is anything you want or could use."

He stated as he saw a few items were in better condition than others and a few looked as if they hadn't been used in years. Naruto nodded and turned to look before pausing for a moment, "Out of curiosity, is there any materials that you would want to get? I am going to be traveling quite a bit and I have a bit of the Devil's luck when it comes to stumbling on things of value, so are there any materials or rare things that you would be interested in?"

Naruto asked and the man frowned slightly before giving a mental shrug, "Yeah, there are a few items that I wouldn't mind having if for no other reason than to test it in a forging process or because it is rumored to work wonders in certain metals. Here, take this list just in case."

He stated before digging in the counter and handing Naruto a hand written list that he glanced over before stopping with a large smirk on his face as he saw three items: Pincer of a Spider Queen, Stinger of a Spider Queen, and a Queen's Venom Sac. Smirking further, he began digging in his bag and took the stinger and pincer out while deciding to see what he could get for the Venom sac from the two clan heads too.

The man was shocked that the boy had two of the items he wanted already, "Kid, what the hell were you doing in the Forest of Death?!"

He asked in shock while the girl gaped at Naruto and Naruto chuckled slightly, "A bit of training, and looking for something that belonged to a relative of mine."

Naruto stated cryptically and the man widened his eyes slightly before schooling his features since he figured Naruto didn't want the information to get out yet, "I see, I take it you also have the Venom sac then?"

He asked and Naruto nodded, "Yes, but when I informed the Hokage, he stated the Aburame and Yamanaka would be interested in the Web and Venom sac so I want to know what they would use it for as it may aid the village in some way and there is the fact they may have something that I want and/or need and can get it through giving them the item."

He stated and the man nodded as that was fair, while he would probably only get one weapon or a set of throwing weapons, the Aburame or the Yamanaka would be able to do something to benefit the village as a whole, "Fair enough kid, since you got me these two items, I'll give you 50% off your purchases today if I get them."

The man stated and Naruto smiled and nodded before shaking the man's hand, "Deal."

Naruto stated before he turned and paused again, "Can you make any clothing I need resistible to weapons? Because then I could sell this Cuirass too."

He asked and the man frowned slightly before nodding and Naruto nodded and began looking over the clothing with his eye and seeing any stats or other things he gained from wearing them. He was focused on it to the point he didn't notice that the girl came up to him until she was behind him, "Can I help you miss?"

He asked as he kept looking over the clothing options and the girl blinked a bit at being sensed by a guy younger than her but shrugged it off, "I was wondering why you have vines wrapped around the sword and shield along with the crossbow?"

She asked and the man paused to listen in on this as Naruto kept looking, "Well, because I didn't have the items needed to hold them. I got them while fighting for my life and thus had to work out something to hold them to my person, so I used the vines to make makeshift holders."

He stated and the girl widened her eyes that he was in combat to get them and that he was able to rig that and Naruto chuckled, "That's nothing; for a weapon, before I got these, I made a spear out of a spider leg, vines, tiger fangs and claws, a good sized rock, and a spider stinger. It was actually pretty useful, but I had to sacrifice it when I killed the queen of the spiders."

He stated and both were shocked at him being able to rig such a weapon and Naruto kept gazing at the clothing, "So, if you have those weapons, why aren't you getting any proper holders for them?"

She asked and Naruto shrugged, "Because depending on how much I have after I buy clothes, I may trade these for better armaments and thus would gain something to carry them by buying the new armament."

He stated before grabbing a few articles of clothing and moving to the next rack while the girl nodded, "I guess that makes sense."

She stated before she noticed what he was grabbing and was surprised since he was grabbing actual good ninja clothes and not just something he thought looked cool or would look good on him like other people had.

Naruto spent another few minutes looking over the clothing options before going to a changing room. A few minutes later, he came out and the girl blushed a bit while the man looked impressed. Naruto wore a crimson wife beater, a dark blue vest over his torso, his shirt pieces over his arms still, his gauntlets were still on his hands, steel toed and soul boots that went to his mid-calf that were under a pair of black cargo pants, a belt with many pouches that had the Leaf Emblem as the buckle, a black hooded trench coat that had the Uzumaki spiral on the back in crimson, a pair of pauldrons that were in the shape of fox skulls, his kunai pouch on his leg, and had a simple black mask that had life like flames coming from the bottom to just under his eyes.

All in all, he looked professional and dangerous and the girl was drooling slightly since the clothing showed the muscles he had. Naruto went to a full body mirror and looked himself over before nodding to himself and going back into the changing room. A few minutes later, he came out in a long sleeved black shirt, dark blue pants, a pair of boots, a belt with a kunai for the belt buckle, his gauntlets, and a small mask that covered half his face that was dark blue.

Again the girl blushed as the clothes were form fitting and Naruto moved over to the mirror again and looked himself over before nodding again. He went back to the changing room and got the first set of items and took them to the counter while adding the cuirass to the pile to sell, "How much are these?"

He asked and the man looked it over before doing the calculations in his head, "25,000 Ryo, but since it's half off for you its 12,500. Also, the items would get you about 10,000 Ryo and the clothes your wearing will cost you 7,500."

He stated and Naruto smiled and nodded before he began looking over the weapons. He gazed over the weapons looking at the level requirements and damage counts while wondering what he could use to fully work to his advantage. He noticed a large blade that his eye identified as a Zweihander and saw that it actually gave him +5 to defense and had a damage counter of 25 and only needed to be level 7 to use. Weighing his options, he nodded to himself before taking it off the wall, moved to the counter and added his sword and shield to the sell pile while putting the Zweihander onto his purchase pile before he went back to the wall of weapons and kept looking before he grabbed some Kunai, Shuriken, Senbon, some actual bolts for his crossbow, and a few storage scrolls. Off the top of his head he knew he would be cutting it close with his money, but he knew he could always get more from his storehouse as well as getting more items to sell.

Taking the items to the counter, Naruto paused at seeing a pair of scimitars that were level five weapons with a damage count of 15 apiece. Frowning to himself, he decided to grab them and bring them up too. Setting them down, Naruto then added his old Kunai and Shuriken to the pile to sell and waited as the man began calculating everything. A few moments later, the man nodded, "Ok, for everything, with the discount and what I am going to give you for the equipment that you're trading in, the total is 40,000 Ryo even."

The man stated and Naruto smiled and nodded before he paid the man and sealed his swords into a storage scroll and his crossbow and ammo into the other with his Shuriken, Kunai, and Senbon going to his mission clothes' pouches. Naruto shook the man's hand, "Thank you for this, Mr?"

Naruto asked and the man grinned, "Moro Higurashi and the girl here is Tenten, my apprentice."

The now named Moro stated and Naruto nodded, "A pleasure. Now, how long would it take to add some extra padding and weapon protection to the other set of clothes?"'

He asked and the Moro frowned, "Normally, at least a week, but I can expedite the process and get it done by tomorrow, but it will cost more."

He stated and Naruto nodded, "Do it, I'll pay whatever the cost."

Naruto stated and Moro nodded before a thought came to Naruto's mind, "Do you suppose that I could take some lessons from you on forging? I can't begin for a while, but at the very least it would help me keep my weapons better maintained."

He asked and Moro frowned as the kid obviously had potential if he was able to jerry-rig together some miscellaneous items into a usable weapon, but he already had Tenten as an apprentice. However, the boy only wanted part time lessons so he could theoretically work him in at times. With that thought in mind, Moro nodded, "Alright kid, I can give you a part time apprenticeship. Here."

He stated before he gave Naruto two designs for a simple knife and how to make a bar of steel and Naruto grinned, "Thanks, I'll look you up when I get back from some family business."

He stated before heading out while Moro smirked at Tenten still blushing and slightly drooling from when she saw Naruto. Chuckling to himself, he closed her mouth before heading back to the forge and Tenten went to the counter to think about the blonde boy she had just met.

With Naruto: Hours later

Naruto was walking towards his family home with more money in his pocket as he took some more from the small treasure horde and traded it in and bumped into one Hinata Hyuga on his way to the Aburame compound. After a short interaction, Naruto had realized two things: 1) she liked him more than a friend and 2) she had a hidden side that he was able to see that got his attention and decided to set a few things in motion later on that could make his future interactions with her very interesting and also realized the same thing about Tenten.

Anyway, Naruto went to the Aburame compound and requested an audience with the Shibi and got it. Shibi had been surprised, by Aburame standards, when Naruto revealed his 20 something venom sacs and web sacs, the queen venom sac, and the queen web sac. Shibi had politely offered to take half of the first two and the web sac for some tactical and strategy guides, a few bolts of extra strong spider silk, and 10,000 Ryo. Naruto had promised to bring more should he get them, much to Shibi's appreciation.

Naruto had then gone to Inoichi Yamanaka and offered the same things while ignoring his former classmate Ino trying to talk to him to get info out of him as Inoichi was Ino's father and Inoichi and Naruto had concluded their business when Ino returned home and was curious to why Naruto was there.

Naturally, Naruto ignored her and Inoichi accepted Naruto's request to not tell Ino since she was a well-known gossip. Thus, he left an irritated Ino behind in her compound while he had several Herbology books, a few of the more exotic plants in their possession, and another 5,000 Ryo for his trouble.

At the here and now though, he was entering his new home and recognized the security seals on the gate as blood seals and bit his thumb before swiping blood on the seal opening the gate before it closed itself. Naruto frowned at seeing most of the landscape run down, but wasn't surprised since it hadn't been maintained in 16 years and new his first objective would be to learn the Shadow Clone Jutsu to get this place in a more habitable arrangement, even if he may not be staying here a lot.

With that in mind, he entered the house to see a simple living space and a hallway that led to a dining area that was probably near the kitchen. Naruto walked to the dining table and set the items down to read and went to the Shadow Clone Jutsu first. Thanks to his intelligence and new control, he got the Jutsu down in 20 minutes and sent his clones out to clean, catalog, and sort out everything in the house, and sent a detachment to do the same for his new storehouse, another to begin practicing forging, and another to pack what there was in his apartment, while he sat and looked to the three letters in his hands.

Deciding to do his father first, he set the other two down and opened his father's, "Naruto, if you're reading this then I and your mother are dead and you have reached a point that I specified to Hiruzen or have proven to be a natural prodigy and Hiruzen is allowing you to see it ahead of time. I hope you know that I am Minato Namikaze, the Yellow Flash and Fourth Hokage and I am sorry for having to seal the Kyubi into you, but it was attacking the village and I had no other choice but to seal it into you. I am not naïve to believe that everyone honored my request to see you as a hero and I understand that if we meet somehow, that you decide to slug me for it. Getting to a more upbeat topic, in the study at the house are the instructions on how to use my two signature techniques and the list of locations that I own in both Konoha and Fire Country.

Now, something I am sure you're gonna like: Our Clan's bloodlines. We have two special bloodlines unique in their own way; the first, and natural bloodline, is called the Adamantium Body which allows us to adapt to weights, gravity seals, physical exercises, and more, faster than others. Our bodies naturally remember stances, pushes itself to adapt to hardships, and makes itself stronger than we think possible with the only limits being what we set for ourselves. The other bloodline, which we gained from our ancestors when they were Overlords, is called the Magic Body: It allows us to gain an Elemental Affinity for any element that we know a spell for and from a journal of one ancestor, there are several spells centered on the elements. Combine that with the Adamantium Body and you get a deadly combination. Live life to the fullest, find love even if that means being with multiple persons, and protect that which you hold dear.

I love you son, signed your father: Minato Namikaze.

He read and Naruto smiled slightly with tears in his eyes since he knew his father loved him, but he was kind of upset at him calling Kyubi an it. From what he remembered, Kyubi knew how to use chakra, could plan attacks, and seemed intelligent. If something has intelligence than it is someone not an it. He would call Kyubi an it for now since he had no idea if Kyubi was male or female as many women were just as, if not more, deadly and dangerous than males, but if he met Kyubi then he would treat it as a person and try to know what to classify it as since he felt it was insulting to call Kyubi it.

Inside Naruto, Kyubi stirred slightly since it could hear its host's thoughts and it smirked slightly, "That's one point for you kid, but only one."

Kyubi thought as Naruto set his father's letter aside and opened his mother's, "Naruto-kun, I am sorry I was not able to meet you as there can be no other explanation for you reading this letter. I was part of a small clan called the Corvus Clan that was barely able to survive the years as we all dwindled with time with mostly us having males that were skilled in combat and thus were primary targets on the battlefield. I am sorry to say that as far as my clan goes, you are the last of it. Now, as I am sure you were told, you have a surrogate mother and that brings me to the topic of a unique ability that could in theory be called a bloodline. It allows us to take in abilities and DNA from an individual we are in contact with at or near birth. Since you are my and Minato's son, your person was Kushina thus you have Uzumaki blood in you but are not blood related to Kushina or at least it would be a distant relation beyond what anyone would count as family beyond having some relation from possibly hundreds of years ago. We received this ability from our ancestors as they were direct descendants from the First Overlord who had the unique ability to draw strength from his loves, followers, and even defeated opponents and it changed over the years.

Our true bloodlines are what made us terrors on the battlefield: One was known as the Mind of a Weapon, which allowed us to have the uncanny ability to be somewhat familiar with any weapon we picked up and learn very quickly how to use the weapons. Our best swordsmen had only trained under a master for a year before they were extremely skilled in its use. Our second Bloodline is called the Scholar's Eye: This allows you to recall anything you have seen or read at a moment's notice and know what it means and what can be done with it, thus making us very intelligent and skilled individuals with the right topics and subjects learned. Basically, it stimulates our brain to allow us to remember everything our eyes have seen and then lets our minds go through different options, procedures, tests, theories, and other things that others would overlook, ignore, or just not realize and thus made us a knowledge super power. Now, you may be wondering why this hasn't been activated for you yet, well the reason is that is has actually been activated but you haven't connected it to your mind yet. All you have to do is send chakra to your eyes, but brace yourself for a headache since it will be hit with an influx of knowledge. Unfortunately, that also means you will always remember any of the unpleasant views the village may have given you because your father sealed Kyubi into you. If you meet Kyubi, try to be friendly as I don't think Kyubi has had many people try to befriend it or try to even be civil around it. Also, apologize for me calling Kyubi an it as it was the best choice to not offend Kyubi since I would if I called it by the wrong gender.

Your father and I love and are proud of you no matter the path you walk in life. Love Mom.

Naruto read and he had more tears flowing from his eyes before he put the letter away a moment and activated his eyes while dealing with the headache and then sat there a moment to let his mind process the information, while inside him, Kyubi looked at the ground a little depressed since what Hyppolita said was true as everyone was either intimidated, terrified, or overly respectful and stumbled over themselves to either kill, get away from, or please it in some way.

Back with Naruto, he smiled at the knowledge flowing through his mind as he grabbed his… carrier's letter, "Hi Naruto-kun! I'm Kushina Uzumaki and I was the one who carried and gave birth to you, so I guess we could be related someway if you got Hyppolita's ability from the Overlords, which by the way my clan is related to a few of those too so you have an even bigger connection to the Overlordship if you ever became it. Anyway, I don't know if I am dead or not, but if it is the latter then I am deeply sorry for whatever reason it was that I left and will try to make it up to you if you find me in the future… even if that means being something other than a mother or sister figure for you, which I wouldn't mind since I know you would be a real looker in the future. Anyway, if you did get my Uzumaki DNA, then you probably have the three Bloodlines of the Uzumaki, our knack for seals, our abnormally high levels of chakra, and possibly our love of ramen, which I still say is a gift from Kami.

Anyway, our three bloodlines are ones that are varying between Uzumaki. The first is our longevity, what that means is we live a long time, we age slowly, and we are fit even longer than other people. My Grandpa was over 100, looked 40, and fought like he was in his 20s. The next Bloodline is the Chakra Chains ability where you create chains of pure chakra that move on your thought and instincts alone and are able to suppress a Biju's power while also being able to hold off another person's chakra if your capacity is higher than the target's, which it will be because of whom you are. The last is our ability to sense chakra levels as well as people's emotions and the range grows as you train in it.

Well that's about it, I hope that I'm not dead and you do find me, especially if you're as handsome as I think you will be. Signed, Kushina Uzumaki."

Naruto had to chuckle slightly at that and the kiss mark next to her name and then remembered the fact he hadn't checked his book in a while and knew there might be something to benefit him more from the other books if he upgraded first. With that in mind, he opened his game book and was surprised it went to a Notes page, "Kyubi cannot see this and is unaware of the game you are in. Kyubi also cannot hear any thoughts regarding the game or book, so there is no issue with you reading this at your leisure."

He read and was actually a bit happy about that since it wouldn't do any good if Kyubi thought he was taking things in a chance to harm it. The book then flipped to a page where at the bottom of the page had a small doodle of himself doing a thumbs up over an experience bar where he had the number 5 on the left and a number 6 on the right. He then blinked as he saw the bar fill up rapidly before hitting the 6 and the option to spend now or continue was given and Naruto hit continue and watched as the bar filled up to seven and he repeated the previous choice. He watched as it filled another 4 times bringing him to level 11.

The book then flipped and went to an achievements page, "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! You retrieved the Overlord Gauntlet from the Tomb! Unlocks Overlord Item Quests (see gauntlet), Overlord Inherent abilities, and the next Overlord Mission.

Naruto nodded to himself with a smile as he was glad he had another way to increase his abilities besides leveling up. His book then flipped to his stats page, "You have 40 stat points: Five for each Level and an extra 10 for hitting the first 10th level and these have been updated for the bonuses you have received.

Strength: 35 [while a direct reference to how strong you are physically, it also helps you carry more, withdraw the side effects from heavier armor, the amount of damage you deal with melee attacks, and other items]

Dexterity: 20 [affects balance, acrobatics, throwing weapons, long range weapons, likelihood of tripping or failing one of the previous items, and more]

Demonic Chakra Capacity: 30 [Same as above but Demonic]

Naruto frowned as he looked it over and decided to add 20 to Charisma bringing it to 35, and then split the last 20 between Strength and Dexterity bringing them up to 45 and 30 respectfully. Naturally, the book then flipped to skills, "Congrats: You can now alter your Inherent Skills! You have 50 points to spend!

Naruto nodded to himself as he looked over the options before him and decided he was gonna make some more majors. With that in mind, he spent 20 points to move Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Weapons, and Economics into his Majors leaving him with 30 points. Deciding that he was going to need specific ones soon, he put 10 into Magic, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu bringing them up to 20, 20, and 15 respectfully.

Before anything else could happen, two scrolls popped out. Blinking he looked to the book and it began explaining, "You have unlocked the beginner stance and exercises for the Wing Chun style of Taijutsu and the Basic Genjutsu: Camouflage, which allows you to blend into your surroundings and the effectiveness is based off your skill in Genjutsu."

Naruto was interested in his scrolls, but also knew he had perks to do first and then some reading to do. With that in mind, he let the book flip to the perks, "Please keep in mind that your bloodlines do not count as perks since you just need to train to unlock and utilize them. Now, you have 5 Perk Points: 3 that you kept and 2 that you gained from leveling up (I did say it would be harder to get these).

Naruto nodded at that as it was fair, he was going to be a badass, but he wanted to strive to at least get some of his badassness. Clearing his thoughts, he read over the available perks, "Like Father Like Son: You are your father's son: +15 to sealing, Ninjutsu, and economics."

"Magical Heritage: You are a descendant of all the Overlords and have access to their magical power! +20 to Magic."

"Shadow Clone Master: You are skilled enough with Shadow Clones that you don't suffer from backlash when they dispel and can use them and their knowledge gathering side effect to great heights without worry of the damage and can sort the information easily. You're also able to use them in training to help you speed up the process and learn in weeks what would take years. Note: This will kick in immediately while the others will take effect fully the next day."

"Bulk Up: You are tough, sturdy, and can easily increase your body's sturdiness and strength: +15 strength and constitution."

Naruto nodded to himself and took these four and kept the last perk point for later. Naruto then tapped confirm levels and felt his boost slowly kick in and figured it wasn't going to take full effect until tomorrow like his Perks would. With that in mind, he decided to look over his quest log while creating some extra Shadow Clones to read his books and scrolls, "Quest updated: Beginning of the New Overlord: Mission 3: Claim the Minions: Objective 1: Go to Whirlpool.

New Quest! Finish Your Father's Work: Complete the Rasengan and Hirashin!

New Quest! Find your Carrier: Find out what happened to Kushina!

New Quest! Family: See if any evidence about your mother's clan still exists!

Current Quest: Honoring the Dead: Bury your Predecessor, which is now most likely also your ancestor, in Whirlpool!

New Quest: Fixing Your Inheritance: Fix up all the properties you now own to top condition!

New Quest: Bloodlines: Unlock all your Bloodlines

Naruto nodded to himself as the last would be partially finished since he had his mother's two, Kushina's longevity, and his father's Adamantium and Magic Body. He would train in the ones he had, that he could anyway, but still needed to work on unlocking his sensing and Chakra Chains.

With that in mind, Naruto created some more clones to help in his training so it would speed up before creating and dispelling a clone to inform most of his other clones that they were to join in the training once their other tasks were complete.

Naruto then gazed at his gauntlet and saw the list come out and smirked at the note stating that the list was a game function as well and thus Kyubi could not see it. He then gazed over the list that was in the form of progress bars and saw a note before the list, "?s are the ones that each Overlord has found a different amount of and there is no real knowledge of how many there are. Also, the count is for if the item(s) are in their proper place, so you may have items in your possession but they aren't in the right place yet. Lastly, ALL of these items help you in some way, so do not shrug off anything just because you do not see how it will help.

Naruto nodded to himself, even if he thought some of the items were strange, and was curious to the smelters and tapped it seeing the list of the smelters from worst to best if he had to assume from the names.

Iron

Steel

Durium

Azurite

Arcanium

Sylvanite

Orichalcum

Chakra Metal

Prismere

Master

He raised an eyebrow at the last one and tapped it hoping it would give info, but found that the info was blank. He frowned, but shrugged figuring he would know what it could do when he found it or the gauntlet updated the lists. Relaxing slightly, he decided since he didn't know when he would be back from Whirlpool that he would get some Ramen.

With that in mind he left his clones to their work while he went to Ichiraku Ramen and enjoyed the meal, while flirting with Ayame throughout the meal, much to her enjoyment, and made a silencing seal so he could talk with her and her father Teuchi about his family and that he would probably be drafted into resurrecting the clans, which led to him asking Ayame out when he graduated while informing her he had a date with Niko as well and he may have more later on but he would be sure she was towards the front of the line. Ayame had thanked him with deep kiss, while her father smiled since he figured the two would get together.

After his brief make out session, he asked Teuchi for any cookbooks he had and if he would be interested in spider meat. Teuchi had sent Ayame to get the books while Naruto unsealed the meat and Teuchi looked it over before offering Naruto a free bowl of Ramen for every 10 pounds of meat that Naruto brought him, regardless of the animal, and Naruto had 50 pounds of spider meat and 10 pounds of tiger meat and enjoyed his 6 bowls plus a free one since Naruto was family.

Needless to say, Naruto enjoyed the food, and teasing Ayame when Teuchi wasn't looking since his knowing women skill let him see how Ayame liked to be treated by a lover and was enjoying their little game when Teuchi was looking away, though Naruto believed he did know but unless Ayame complained or he overstepped his bounds then Teuchi wasn't going to interfere.

After the food, Naruto kissed Ayame goodbye and went back to the estate and was surprised to find an item on the table with a note, "Hey boss, this was in a hidden compartment of the throne our ancestor was on. The throne was built into the floor so we didn't bring it, but the design of the item looked important and thought it may have something to do with Whirlpool."

He read and raised an eyebrow before looking over the item: It was a stone plaque with an armored figure standing in the middle carrying a large war axe and had small creatures standing beside them holding various weapons. Shrugging to himself, he placed it in a scroll before deciding to turn in early while leaving the log of the storehouse on his table to look at tomorrow while his clones continued training and he absentmindedly made a clone to inform the other clones to put the books and scrolls on the table before they dispelled.

Next Day

Naruto awoke and popped his protesting joints before he washed up and began eating breakfast while his brain processed everything from the clones and his book informing him of a few things. The clones mastered the Taijutsu, Genjutsu, and Ninjutsu scrolls while doing all the beginner chakra exercises which included tree/wall walking, leaf balancing, and doing the tree/wall exercise with his hands then his hands and feet at the same time. His book informed him his Taijutsu went up 10 points both to training and because he had an actual style now, his Genjutsu went up 5 points, his Ninjutsu went up 10, he could make a pretty crude knife that was at least effective and made one steel bar in the forge his father had on the estate since they discovered a few designs in the office/library of the house, and he gained better natural control over his chakra due to the exercises.

He nodded to himself before reading the cooking books as he finished eating before having a clone do the dishes and some help him finish reading before he packed all the books, scrolls, and such in case someone tried to break in at some point and steal the knowledge inside. Once he was done, he went to Higurashi's to get the mission clothes, while thanking one of his clones for writing two letters for him when he went to bed as he had two people he needed to leave something with.

When he arrived, he was surprised to find Moro already at the counter with his items bundled and ready and Naruto smiled before he took them and asked for Moro to give Tenten a letter from him and he went to the changing room to change into his mission gear with his swords on his back with the scimitars X'd on his back and the Zweihander down the middle of his back. He then frowned as he realized his Zweihander would be slightly uncomfortable down the middle of his back and took a shorter sheath off the wall, while tossing Moro some money for it, before he took a kunai and carved a seal into it to contain the blade in the sheath.

The blades all reached just above his waist and he walked out with his hood over the top of his head and mask on before he shook Moro's hand before he walked out and left for the Hokage Tower. He naturally got stares and glances as he walked, but he ignored them and kept walking before entering the tower where he gave a wink to Niko who smiled and blushed before he went to the office to see Hiruzen relaxing with a certain orange book and a couple clones doing work.

Hiruzen glanced up before pausing in surprise at seeing the person before him before he saw the eyes and relaxed slightly, "I must say Naruto; you do look professional. Come with me."

He stated as he got up and led Naruto through the village to the northern gate where Danzo, a pale boy around Naruto's age, and a female Anbu that made Naruto smile were waiting, "Yugao-neechan!"

Naruto stated as he hugged the woman who chuckled and returned the hug, "Good to see you too, Naru-chan."

She stated and Naruto pulled his mask off and smiled before turning to Danzo and waved, "Hey Danzo-Jiji."

He stated and Danzo smirked slightly, "Naruto, this is Sai. He is one of my best up and coming Root Shinobi, I'm assigning him to help Cat here to escort you to Whirlpool and after he will continue to serve as your guard if you wish."

He stated and the boy showed a smile that Naruto could tell was fake, "Hello Naruto-sama."

He stated and Naruto frowned, "No sama, no fake smiles, and no trying to take hits for me on the trip if we get into any trouble or combat situations."

Naruto stated in an authoritative tone and Sai blinked before nodding, "As you wish Naruto-san."

He stated while inwardly he was surprised at the authority Naruto could put in his voice and so was Yugao, while Hiruzen and Danzo were smirking. Naruto then turned to Hiruzen and handed him a letter, "Could you give that to Hinata Hyuga please?"

He asked and Hiruzen nodded, "Of course." Hiruzen stated before giving his surrogate grandson a hug, "Stay safe Naruto."

He stated and Naruto nodded before placing his mask back on and took off with Yugao and Sai, while Danzo and Hiruzen began going back to the Tower with Hiruzen planning to call the Hyuga heiress to his office to give the letter.

However, when they arrived they were surprised to see a clone of Naruto there that smirked and left a scroll there before poofing away. Hiruzen approached and read the scroll, "Hey Jiji, in this scroll is about 5000 ryo for 5 stores, I'll trust your judgement on which should be started in the process of being fixed up. Danzo-Jiji, I would like you to be on the lookout for strange/abnormal items that people have no idea where they came from and I'll pay for the info even if it doesn't pan out."

It read and Hiruzen and Danzo chuckled as their new ally was an interesting one and the two began getting to work while also helping Naruto, "Make us and your parents proud Naruto." They both thought as they began sorting the work.

Done. Next time will be the six months (which will have something random from my head I'm sure), the two letters (since I know you want to know), the Genin Exam, and the test to become an official Genin.

Opinion Time: Should Naruto get a team or a solo apprenticeship? If the team is chosen, and I wouldn't mind getting some suggestions on a sensei, then most likely Naruto will have Sai and Yakumo for teammates.

If the apprenticeship is chosen, then Naruto will be on that team with Sai and no new teammate will be with them… technically. What I mean is that Naruto will be getting two apprenticeships: One for Anko and the other with most likely Kakashi, if you want someone else then ok but if they are getting a team under normal circumstance then they lose it and if they wouldn't be getting a team then you need to give me someone to fill Naruto's spot on a team since that would leave the graduates at 8 and they have 3 Genin a squad. While Sai would fall under Kakashi, you guys could pick who Anko would have as a full time apprentice.

Please Note: Regardless of the choice, Naruto will be getting three other apprenticeships for the Chunin exam month long break between test 2 and 3. These 3 are not up for discussion as I have picked them already and I am not changing my mind on them.

So anyway, as you no doubt guessed, Naruto will be getting Kushina as a lover. So he is technically going to be with his mom, while not with his mom, thereby committing incest without committing incest. So like I said above, kinky yet not kinky.

Ok, some things about the three jutsu: The shadow weapon jutsu is somewhat a personal move: I have seen shadow kunai, shadow shuriken, and all that in other fics and people complain about the technical name so I just made it a semi-custom one.

The reason I had the Clone Explosion Jutsu as a basic jutsu is that I have seen and heard several theories that stated it could be used on any clone technique even the illusion kind and the explosion really depends on how much chakra the user put into the clone. Since most people don't have massive reserves of chakra, and only put the bare minimum into the clones, it's hardly utilized as well as it could be by someone like a Kage or Naruto.

Chakra Breath is based on Knights of the Old Republic 2's Breath Control, where you can use it to bypass poison and get through a bar where the main attraction is the vents constantly pumping poison into the air, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' skill where they can last on one breath of air for hours through meditation and dedication.

Yes there is a bit of the Assassin's Creed Games in the renovation and building areas of Naruto's game.

For the currency amount, a Ryo is equal to a Dime and I read in an article that involved Video Game currency that a gold piece from the games would be worth roughly 100 dollars and I cut it down a bit for Naruto to not be crazy wealthy, yet, but he isn't poor either. If I have the whole payments, buying, and selling thing messed up, then oh well because that is the least of my concerns at the moment.

Yes, Hinata will be with Naruto, but she isn't gonna be the stalker, wallflower, scared little girl in this… at least not for long. I have some fun ideas for the Hyuga clan in general, but I am still gonna do the classic Neji beat down and he'll be getting his second chance after the beat down.

Yugao will NOT be with Naruto, I have her in mind for someone else and it isn't Hayate. I apologize if that is disappointing to you, but be patient since I have her listed as a pairing for Naruto in quite a few of my other Naruto fics on my 'to write' list, which currently has 175 just for Naruto and, according to people I've chatted with, over 100 of them are all original ideas. She will be a big sister figure to Naruto and there will no romantic feelings between the two.

So, I have a little game for y'all: Whoever can correctly guess the most of what each of the Overlord Items do/allow (aside from the obvious such as the easy smelters and weapon molds) will get to pick 2 girls for Naruto and I do mean 2, but they cannot be ones that I have stated are dead, meaning not Naruto's biological mother or Mito, even if I haven't officially stated she is dead; they can't be a gender bent Sasuke, Kiba, Shino, Neji, or Elder; or Yugao and/or Anko (I know some have wanted it, but I feel that she is used quite a bit, justifiably so; would work with someone else I have in mind for her; and, like Yugao, I have a few fics on my to write list that have her as a pairing).

Now, I am thinking of giving Naruto Moegi and Hanabi, but they will still be 2-3 years younger than him since I might have Naruto be Konohamaru's Jonin Sensei later on. Is there anyone that is going to throw a fit if I do?

Anyway, I have a poll up for a next Naruto fic, it's a tie breaker but still, and if y'all enjoy this then you may enjoy one of those. It won't be started for a WHILE, but it's nice to have something waiting in the wings if needed.

Well, that should be it. See y'all later.
