What can I say? I don't like being predictable, and a predictable ending for this story is Naruto returning and everything is right with the world, AKA and they all lived happily ever after. C'mon guys…you can't honestly expect me to end all of my stories like that. I need to spice it up, keep my readers on their toes. So, I have no regrets ending the story like that ;)

I wrote this epilogue immediately after writing the last chapter because I knew, I just knew, that that last chapter would get more than a few people pissed. And it did! Its kinda funny, to be honest. I planned on releasing this on my next update day but I couldn't help myself.

This is a crossover with Overlord (I do not own). I usually won't say that but I'm saying it because of those reading this that haven't read or watched Overlord. You can keep reading when it comes around to Naruto, since Shika is still within his own universe, but I don't want to confuse anyone not familiar with those names. I didn't throw around complicated words or anything you guys won't understand, I'm just saying.

This is more like chapter eight but I'll just call it an epilogue.

EPILOGUE

What happened to the Night?

Location: Unknown

He could feel wind thrash around him.

'How long have I been falling?'

'Where am I?'

'What's that noise?'

Thoughts slowly churned in his sleepy mind but no answers came. Naruto closed his eyes and whined under his breathe as he clamped both hands over his ears; if felt like he had been drifting through the vacuum of darkness for a thousand years and a day, but with only a second passing at the very same time. It was a disorientating feeling, even for the hunter ninja, as he curled up in a foetal position and seduced sleep back to him, his only solitude in the silence and emptiness of the dark, where he would see his family again.

Family…

Never…

His clothes flapped as the air heated up slightly, making the already sleepy Nara man groan, and instinctively turn in the air, belly facing the ground and arms and legs spread apart to slow him down, and his bright blue eyes beheld the chaos of fights occurring below him.

An insect-like girl, or what he thought looked like a girl, was using an extremely long weapon to whip around two other females. The Nara's eyes furrowed and his face turned neutral as he kept observing the fight, many miles above it and falling down from the sky like a light stone.

The moon shone above him, and the rays gave him a bit more light, enough for his veteran eyes to see what exactly was going on. The insect girl was winning; throwing around bugs and insects at the other two girls, one slimly built with a blue ribbon around her forehead and the other was a behemoth of rippling muscles heaving what looked like a battle axe or a war hammer, he wasn't sure. This was done so tactfully that Naruto mentally applauded the girl, only for his mind to freeze when he saw the slim girl do something, a last ditch attack that would hopefully save her and her muscled friend.

The girl ducked into her shadow and resurfaced close to the insect girl, not too close or even too quickly, if Naruto was going to be honest, but it threw him in a loop; the girl could use shadow manipulation. His eyes narrowed when the insect girl slashed the slim shadow user, casting her against a building and breaking the wall.

Just then a crystalline sword came down from out of nowhere and stabbed into the ground, a figure flickered into sight and Naruto tried to suppress his smirk when he saw that the girl was wearing a newer, never seen before, version of a hunter ninja mask. It brought back warm memories of his comrades back in the Konoha Hunter Ninja Corps. He had declined Captain of the Corps so many times but the Sandaime had thrust the position of deputy captain onto him, as a 'friendly order'. Naruto felt his stomach clench and, like a small explosion, shadows sputtered and flickered around him, briefly shading the moons light but it was passed off as a cloud passing over the moon. Naruto mentally fist pumped himself when his cloak manifested around his body, fully intact.

His attention was again drawn back to the fighters beneath him; now the hunter ninja masked girl was using strange abilities to thrash the insect girl, crushing the latter into a heap of breathing limbs, all with the help of the shadow manipulator and the large woman. The air stilled dramatically and the masked girl took a step back unintentionally, long since jumped off her crystal blade, and clenched her fists when another masked man swished into the area. He was in a pinstriped suit, very tall from what he could see and in a mask that was painted white but with the facial appearance of a sinister gentleman from the Iwa daimyos court, smiling evilly with his eyes curved up in glee.

It was a hunter ninja mask he had seen on one occasion from a Kiri hunter.

The ground was getting closer so Naruto slightly opened his cloak, gliding down safely and touching down with the silence of a ghost. As his toes touched the ground he melted into the ground in the shadow of a chunk of earth and his presence disappeared as well, even as the masked man sharply looked in his direction before he proceeded to using similar strange abilities to fight the masked girl. It was obvious that he was superior in skill to the girl and Naruto decided to leave because it wasn't his fight.

As he turned to investigate the new place he had been dropped in he felt a pulse in the shadows and his eyebrows shot into his hairline as the same shadow manipulator leaped out of a shadow directly in front of the new masked man, her eyes narrowed in focus and her right hand carving a path forward, tightened in a fist. This was stopped when the masked man grabbed her by the neck, bashed his forehead against hers, drove his knee into her belly and stabbed his segmented tail into the girl's abdomen numerous times.

Naruto closed his eyes in frustration and sighed.

"Family is family." The words of his father echoed to him. A memory of when Naruto was five and playing checkers with Shikaku, under the watchful gaze of the other clan members.

'Family is family. Damn it, dad…' Naruto thought as his shoulders slumped, gritting his teeth when he heard the female shadow user smash back into the stone walls beside his muscled friend, who was long since unconscious with severe burns from a 'magic' fire attack.

She was a shadow user and that meant that she was family.

Evileye panted as she held her broken ribs, one eye open under mask and glaring at the smug suited man. "Who are you…?"

"I am the-"

His words ended when he felt a massive, crippling weight drop in the surrounding. It took all in his power to maintain composure but he couldn't stop the cold sweat falling down the side of his head. Three feet in front of Evileye rose a blonde with black tipped haired man, looking down to the ground and his mouth set in a straight line. The man that had risen from a shadow was in a black cloak, covering his neck and his shins but leaving his black sandals exposed. The man's shaggy hair hid his eyes, even casting a shadow close to the bridge of his nose, and this made the servant of Nazarick even more cautious. He saw a twinkle in the darkness where his eyes were and a pair of the bluest eyes he had ever seen in all his life opened and it was like an explosion of invisible energy shook the very earth, only pushing against him but saving Evileye from the brunt of it.

"I know this isn't my fight," Naruto began slowly, loud enough for Demiurge to hear him and deep enough to send violent tremors down his spine. The Nara cocked his head to the unconscious bodies of the two girls and two shadows dutifully slithered out of the ground and began attending to them, he looked over his shoulder at Evileye and a clone gently clasped a hand on her shoulder, startling her, and slowly pulled her back a few steps. She didn't have control over her limbs as she moved backwards with the clone. "But I was passing by and I noticed you were attacking a member of my clan," Demiurge could not move, not even to gulp, as Naruto looked back to the ground and continued speaking. "I will probably regret this, stranger, but…" he said with another deep sigh, before his eyes snapped up to Demiurge and the man finally beheld Naruto's whole face. Dark, heavy shadows surrounded his eyes and cast down his pale cheeks. The scene was all the more chilling when Naruto tilted his chin up slightly and the servant of Ainz Ooal Gown felt a hand on his left shoulder, and a blade to his neck. "Trouble and stress is my destiny, I guess." And the clone dragged the blade back, slashing a deep line through the masked man's neck and finishing it off by pushing off the assassinated man's head off his shoulders.

All the while the black Adamantite knight, Momon, and the Beautiful Princess, Nabe, watched in the thicket with wide eyes as Demiurge was killed.

They felt the killer intent that shadowy man had let loose and the simple fact that it was palpable made them both curious and cautious. Momon, who was actually Ainz Ooal Gown in disguise, began whispering orders to his battle maid servant posing as a magic using adventurer alongside him.

"I want you to find out all you can about him. You can ask your sisters for help but I want to know who that is as soon as possible." Watching as Naruto regarded the much shorter Evileye for a brief moment before he passed her, allowing her shadow to return back to normal and only passively paying attention to the quiet thanks she was telling him as she trailed after him. Naruto knelt down beside his clone, ordering it to return to where it came from and smiled warmly when Tia opened her eyes to look up at her saviour, her groggy mind trying to understand why she couldn't see past the shadows covering Naruto's eyes, thrown over his face by his shaggy hair. He placed his pointer finger on his lips to tell her to keep quiet before he, Tia, Gargaran and Evileye were dragged into the small pool of darkness beneath them.

One Week Later

Konohagakure no Sato

Shikamaru hummed and scratched his chin, briefly looking up to his opponent to see if he could spot any weakness in her posture. A quick smirk flashed on his face and he moved the pawn on his furthest right twice. He sat back with a mildly smug look on his face and observed the blonde girl grumble under her breathe.

"Shika, I don't want to play chess." Suzu whined pitifully. Her ears drooping and her large eyes becoming even larger as she hit Shikamaru with the full brunt of her dreaded puppy eyes.

The genius rolled his eye, reached over the board and poked her forehead, making her pouted even more. "You need to work on your strategy, Suzu. Lady Fifth asked me to teach you and that is what I'll do."

"But-but I'm a practical learner, you know that!" she shouted in outrage, crossing her arms like a child.

"…Fine, we'll spar. Are you happy?"

"Yes." Was the reply and it was accompanied with a large, toothy grin as she tilted the board to the ground, throwing off each chess piece and making the lazy Nara grumble, especially when his mother peaked her head out of the front door and gave him the 'you're going to pick those up by yourself because you're my son and she's a guest' look accompanied with a crack of her knuckles that made the sleepy genius gulp. The girl crossed her legs and placed her elbow on her knee, perching her head in the palm of her hand. She stared at her Nara friend, making Shikamaru raise an eyebrow, until she asked. "How's the eye?"

He scratched his chin and became more aware of the black eye patch over his left eye. "I'm still trying to get used to perfect chakra control." She motioned for him to go on and he shrugged. "I need to keep it covered or else it'll drain my chakra; Konan-sensei sent a letter yesterday and said that it would do that until it gets used to my chakra and adapts with it. She said I can visit Rain when I'm ready for formal lessons but I'm not sure how Asuma-sensei would take it, or even mom and dad when they hear about it. Plus…" he leaned to her conspiratorially and whispered. "I think Konan-sensei eats guys…I'm getting this vibe from her." The sleepy fourteen year old smirked when the Kyuubi holder giggled into her hands and sat back again.

"Can I have a peak?" she abruptly asked when she calmed down and Shikamaru face palmed.

"I just told you that it takes a toll on me if I leave it exposed for too long."

"Just a quick look, I promise."

"Fine." he grunted and slowly unslung the eye patch, making sure to close his left eye as he dropped it on the empty chess board before them. The boy took in a deep breathe and as he released it he opened his left eye.

Tsunade had said that the rinnegan had mutated when it came in contact with his Nara bloodline, alongside his chakra and his chakra network but the latter of the two were much slower than the first. Instead of purple being the colour of the 'whites' it was black and the concentric rings from the iris to the socket were purple, the purple was both noticeable and made the godly eye more intimidating. After the implant surgery he could feel many things change in his body, slow changes that he was still trying to adapt to, like his muscles were strengthening and anytime he watched a jutsu being performed with the eye he got an deep understanding for how it worked, thus making it easier to store in his brain. He could also see chakra networks but that became tiring when he tried to read, with all the wisps of chakra floating in the air, so he covered the rinnegan with a seal reinforced eye patch that covered the constant burst of chakra from his eye that he was unable to control. The eye patch made sure no one could sense he had an implanted doujutsu; now he knew how Kakashi felt.

He closed his eye and covered it back up with his eye patch, scoffing slightly at the starry gaze his friend was giving him. "Words…cannot express how cool that looks."

"Well it's not easy constantly trying not to will something to blow up, but thanks." It came steadily, but he felt that the eyes were able to create flying bombs, or missiles, if he wanted to. Covered eye or not. Suzu twiddled her fingers silently and looked at the black haired boy. "Yes?"

"Have…have…they found Naruto's…body yet…?" Shikamaru noticed how she dropped the affectionate 'Old man' title and called him by his name. The boy put on a brave smile and shook his head. "Are you ok? If you need anything-"

"I know." He said, his smile wobbled. "You here for me, thank you…again."

The girl stood up and walked around the table between them, pulling her friend into a tight hug. The young Nara allowed the girl to hold him, silent and his eyes looking to the ground with his eyebrows furrowed. He chuckled in amusement when the Kyuubi jinchuriki smacked a wet kiss on the top of his head. She had seen it in several 'Madam Kazahana' movies when the man was depressed then a kiss from his lady friend would pull him out of it. She hadn't used it before but from her first try she could say that it was a success.

"What was that for?" he said and the girl gave him a large, cheesy smile.

"I thought I saw some ramen in your hair."

The genius shook his head disbelievingly and allowed the girl to drag him onto his feet. He let the kiss slid and changed the subject, much to the girl's frustration. "Did you accept Jiraiya's apprenticeship? He did say he'll teach you how to better use Kyuubi."

"Nope, I don't trust guys in wooden sandals." Both teens shivered and shook off their hands when they trembled. Shika wordlessly agreed with her. "I'll stick with those I already have. I'll learn the rest by myself if I have to." She stood and watched as Shikamaru bent on one knee in front of her. She could feel her heart beat increase and her face flushed an embarrassing shade of red. Suzu almost died when the Nara reached into his pocket and slowly pulled his hand out, only for her jaw to drop when the boy removed the transparent leather bag and began picking up the chess pieces on the ground, all the while sending her a sly smirk. The flustered girl shared his diverted smirk and pointed a finger at Shikamaru, who was still on his knee picking up chess pieces. "Two can play at that game."

"What was that?" Shika asked sharply, a knowing smile on his face that increased when his Kyuubi holding friend smiled toothily at him.

"Oh nothing." She picked up her sheathed blade and perched the heavy one edged weapon on her right shoulder. "How about that strategy spar?"

Shika dropped the bag of pieces onto the chessboard and walked towards the clan's training ground together.

He was still going through a comprehensive list of the things in the vault, sent by Naruto's banker. The young Nara had seen the contents of the fairly large metal vault and, besides the money stashed in multiple safes lining the left side of the room, there were several notes Naruto had written on potential new Hiden art jutsu and assassination techniques, breaking down other jutsu and documenting his shadow campaign in the West neatly stacked around the vault, even labelled. There were souvenirs from the west like the armour of a centaur, the iron, fan-like wings of a fairy, and many more. The last things, to note, that Naruto willed to his younger brother was a summoning contract for five hundred of the shadows he had collected in all his years as a shinobi, also allowing Shika to collect more if he wanted.

It made the younger brother to the famed assassin feel a great warmth in his heart that his older brother, the person he strove to grow up to be, trusted him with all he owned. Shikamaru just needed time to sift through it all, thankfully Naruto's banker, who was now his banker, had keyed Shikamaru's blood, chakra and retina to the security system of the bank vault Naruto had paid 'good' money for. That way the boy could walk into the bank, ask to be taken to the Nara clans section of the bank and allowed into Naruto's-Shikamaru's vault.

Naruto was proud of his younger brother, Shika knew that, but the teen had now made it his ambition to make his brother even more proud.

Suzu bumped her shoulder against the pensive Nara and cocked an eyebrow. "What's on your mind, Shika?"

"Do you think big bro Naruto is happy…?" the girl smiled warmly at him and threw her arm over his shoulder in a friendly gesture she was known to show. Shikaku and Yoshino had explained what a Chakra/Time Lock seal was and what happened as soon as the object inside was unsealed; the user's chakra had stopped flowing because the seal was tied to the user's chakra network. It was the hardest thing in the world for the two parents to both explain and accept that their oldest son was dead; the proof was the last fuinjutsu seal Naruto used.

Naruto's burial ceremony had been a few days ago, and empty casket burial because they still couldn't find his body, and everyone he had affected, both in and outside of Konoha, attended to pay their respects to the dead hunter ninja of the Nara clan.

Konoha's Night.

Those that came to tell Naruto their last goodbyes had to stay at the gate for a little while, seeing as their numbers would have easily packed the graveyard and spilled out to most of Konoha; Naruto had many allies across the continent. While his family, his clan and his close friends were allowed in for the ceremony. After that the people were let in to console the grieving family of the Night as well as see his grave, to wish him happiness wherever he was. It was a very hard affair for Shikamaru but his friends had been there for him. If not for them, and the blessing of his dead brother, Shikamaru would have fallen into crippling depression. Suzuyi Uzumaki made sure her friend never had the time to be sad.

"I'm sure he's very happy, Shika."

Tsuruji Countryside

Re-Esteze Kingdom

Naruto was happy…somewhat.

The Nara adjusted the straw hat on his head and made sure his thick brown gloves were on well before he turned back to the small house behind him and shouted through the door. "I'm going to sell some of my tea leaves in the market. Let's go." He squinted up at the sun as he scratched his chin, still very curious about the place he had encountered. His attire hadn't changed much; long sleeved black shirt and pants with sandals besides that he didn't wear his black cloak anymore but kept the summons of about five hundred shadows sealed in his eye patch. The black eye patch he wore over his right eye to cover his new doujutsu. Naruto had heard from Tsunade that even though the eyes were connected to the brain by nerves they could be replaced by a simple procedure as long as it was done right; pulling the eye out and placing in the new one while constantly using chakra to both sever the old one and connect the new one. Naruto had done this a day after arriving, making sure that Tia and Gargaran had overeaten so they could sleep like logs, allowing him to sneak away, draw suppressing seals on the ground with his shadow and perform the self-surgery.

The house behind him was made out of earth and wood. It only had two small bedrooms, no bathroom and an outdoor kitchen. There was a humble garden at the side of the house where Naruto grew tea leaves, boosted by the growth spells the girl named Evileye used on them every once in a while in an obvious attempt at impressing him. The building was just a temporary place Tia and Gargaran were kept to heal of their wounds, sped up by potions and the limited medical ninjutsu Naruto was able to use, an ability that marvelled the fellow ninjutsu user. Naruto decided to sleep outside out of respect for the girls.

The assassin had chosen to stay in the countryside because the air was fresh and rejuvenating, like it should always be, and this helped with the healing process.

That morning, about four hours after sunrise, Gargaran had left for the royal palace to report to the leader of the group, who he was yet to meet for some strange reason, while Tia had chosen to stay behind to 'observe' the other shadow user, notwithstanding the fact that she was still yet to fully heal of her wounds.

He also found out that she had a twin, an identical twin to be exact. Who also just so happened to be a shadow user as well.

"Why do I have to go, Old man?" called Tia from inside. The younger shadow manipulator stepped out of the house in her usual garb but with the difference of white bandages wrapped around her torso and on her forehead, the blue ribbon was tied on top of it.

Naruto smiled at the familiar name, hefted the basket of leaves up and tossed it to her, which she caught with a low grunt. "You need to get out more. Holing yourself her forever isn't healthy." He pointed out. "And your sister said she didn't trust me to be alone with you so she wants you to stay with her in the capital."

Tina was a very talkative girl. Naruto could guess that there was little to nothing she could keep secret. She reminded him of Shika, always marching into his room to talk to him about one thing or the other.

Naruto didn't really mind; his first priority was understanding the new world he was in, the second was living an easy, stress free life, as much as his destiny would allow, that is. Tia slung the basket in her elbow and walked behind Naruto towards the stone road that led to the kingdoms capital, where Naruto flagged down a passing caravan. He shushed the girl behind him as he looked up to the owner of the caravan. "Can we please accompany you to the capital? She'll pay." He said as he jabbed a thumb over his shoulder to the girl lugging the basket behind him. Naruto still didn't have any money on him; he left it all for his younger brother. No regrets.

"Hop on, stranger." the man nodded to the back of the caravan. Naruto helped the younger girl in when she found it difficult to walk up the steps without irritating the healing holes on her abdomen under the bandages. Both assassins noticed that the man was a ceramics merchant, but they didn't dwell on that fact for too long.

An hour later of casual conversation with the trader and they were dropped off in the kingdoms gate, where Tia showed the gatekeeper her Adamantite badge to allow them passage as well as a promise to get Naruto an identity card, or at least a passport.

"Do you want to be an adventurer?" Tia asked out of the blue as they proceeded to a vegetable merchant so Naruto could haggle with him on the price for all his tea leaves.

"No." was the quick reply as he scanned the market.

"Why?" she hurried after him as he moved to the vegetables and fruits section of the vast market.

"Too much work." He eyed the traders there and when a few caught sight of him, seeing him with a girl holding a basket of leaves that immediately assumed he wanted to sell them, and that Tia was his servant but that was kept more to themselves as they waved for his attention.

"What do you plan to do then?" she drew his attention back to her by tugging his sleeve. Looking back on it, he made the right decision to not use his shadow cloak; it would attract too much attention and that was the very last thing he wanted or needed.

"Farm." It was a dream of his to own a small farm to grow crops for personal needs and to sell, but the latter was not too important to him seeing as he had accounted for using his retirement money to sustain himself. At the moment, in this new world, he was poor, that was the painful, brutal truth, so it was either he sold crops or became an adventurer. Being a ninja with his skill set was hard enough, making him the one his clan mates looked up to and mounted pressure on his shoulders. The Nara had even planned to retire when he was thirty. He wanted to blame it on his male Nara genes that made him lazy for strenuous, life endangering activities but deep down he knew he lost the interest of being a ninja when he found no opponent strong enough to fully challenge him. His later years in the west showed him that and the death of the Zero tailed beast cemented it.

"Isn't that worse?" Naruto found a trader he was interested in selling to and walked to him.

"I'm not attacking or being attacked. That's good enough for me." he took the basket from her and placed before the merchant. The man eyed the basket and called his price, Naruto looked at Tia from the corner of his eye to gauge her thoughts on the numbers called, seeing as he was still grasping the new currency and its value, and when he saw her frown slightly he pushed up the price. After five minutes of back and forth between Naruto and the trader they finally agreed on the price, exchanged money for leaves and parted, leaving a promise to return with more next week.

It was a somewhat happy affair for Naruto being in a new world. He missed his family and his friends but he was getting a chance to start over again. His rinnegan right eye negated that thought when he became aware of his eye patch; it had mutated like Shikamaru's and he could feel the potent power flowing through the eye and his body. He didn't know why he had the eye implanted instead of destroying it, not completely, but it was even more reason to not become an adventurer. The main reason he had the eye implant was so that he didn't trust the rinnegan to be forever sealed his Night Dimension without slowly destroying the place, freeing all the shadows and that he also didn't think any other storage seal was able to hold the godly eye for an extended amount of time, like he guess the time limit for the Chakra/Time Lock seal was two days, it was why he saved sealing the eye until the feeling of impending doom was almost too much to bear, that is, when his family had been kidnapped. A clone was sent to Tsunade's office to drop off the eye and did so without her detecting it; he trusted the Godaime to send the letter to Shika after seeing its importance. Back to his own eye, having it in his socket at all times gave him time to monitor it at all times, the body and chakra augmentations were an unexpected side effect and even more reason becoming an adventurer would make him overpowered.

Naruto instinctively looked up at the sun, making sure his straw hat was still firmly placed on his head, when he heard his name being called from behind him. It was midday. He looked down, stashing his money into his pants pocket, and waited for the other members of the Blue Rose to approach, led by Lakyus Aindra the leader of the Adamantite group, alongside Climb, the personal guard to the princess of the kingdom and Brain, a close associate to Climb. The deadly assassin smiled welcomingly and said to them.

"Yo."

Evileye replied to the greeting. "Hello, Lord Naruto." And ushered the tall Nara to a tavern so that their group could talk. No one missed the way the magic user had addressed Naruto. It had been going on since he had saved Tia, Gargaran and Evileye's lives a week ago. The muscled woman teased the petite masked girl about her not so subtle crush on the superior shadow user and Evileye didn't deny it. When the Blue Rose was assembled for a meeting concerning the Eight Fingers and Naruto's name was brought up, the very first thing Evileye would talk about when she was asked for her thoughts on taking them down was on the sheer amazingness that was Naruto. The short girl had even taken it upon herself to visit Naruto every day and stay for as long as possible. She didn't know it was deep infatuation when she had caught herself thinking of leaving the Blue Rose and living with Naruto on the farm he constantly talked about.

Lakyus, though very much unaware of Evileye's intentions, which would come into fruition if Naruto agreed to have her, had her suspicions of Naruto. It was to be expected; a man that controlled shadows like the sun could shine light on the earth seemingly appeared out of nowhere, released a foreboding feeling so heavy it was enough to shake up Evileye and saved her friends with his only reason being that Tia was his clan mate, when she knew very well that Tia and Tina were among the last of their clan. The feeling was made even worse when Naruto declined to be paid for saving her friends, saying that he wouldn't take money for helping family. The only reason Lakyus had even allowed Naruto to take care of Gargaran and Tia was that Evileye was visiting constantly. And also that Tia insisted that she wanted to stay with Naruto for the time being.

Their intentions were plain as day, even to Naruto; they just wanted to see if he was on their side. Telling them his life history was going to be a bonus.

He already had an answer ready.

Naruto sat down with a huff and placed his straw hat on the table before him, raising his finger for the attention of the waitress and requesting for a cup of water, the others ordered for beer. He got comfortable in his chair and silently looked to the leader of the Blue Rose. "You have questions."

"Yes, I do. First off, who are you and where are you from?"

"My name is Naruto Nara of the Nara clan and I'm from…a faraway land, you won't know it." Tia and Tina both narrowed their eyes when they heard him say he was from the Nara clan and Naruto added. "My clan specialize in shadow use and manipulation. My father always told me that even if there is a shadow user that does not bear the Nara clan name he or she is still family, enemy or not. I should remember that. Tia and Tina here," he tilted his head towards the two, who were slowly letting down their guard. "Are family."

Lakyus hummed and pointed at his eye patch. "What happened to your eye?" it looked like a random question but his answer, whether he chose to answer it or not, depended on if he was to remain suspicious or not. The leader of the group was good at catching subtle body language.

"That, dear friend," Naruto began as he leaned forward, perching his elbows on the table and nodding his thanks when he got his order of water. "Is none of your business." He flashed a smile at them and drank down his water as his eye wandered to a group of noisy, young adventurers trooping in and demanding for a higher class mission.

Lakyus glared slightly at him, not intimidated by his smile, but was stopped when Evileye chose to speak. "That…feeling…when you saved us…what was that? It wasn't magic, I would know, and it wasn't ninjutsu."

Everyone paid attention when Naruto scratched the back of his head. "That was my killer intent. I guess I used a bit too much huh."

They were all taken aback by his response, even Climb and Brain that had experienced Sebas' killer intent, to an extent. At that time they weren't sure what to call it but now the name 'Killer Intent' fit it perfectly.

"You mean you can increase it?" Climb said with a small stutter. Evileye was very descriptive about that night. In her own words she said that before the 'feeling' had gone, it felt like she had been dropped into inky black darkness and cursed for a lifetime with a heavy, cold weight pressing down on all sides of her body and soul, constricting her airways but before she could get multiple glimpses of her death at the hands of a demon of the night the 'feeling' was gone. Naruto focused it all on his opponent and she could only guess that before his throat was slit he had seen over a hundred ways of dying in the dark, each one scarier and worse than the last.

"I can, but I'd preferably not do that." Naruto's eye lowered at the memory of him using killer intent on Obito as a child. "I found out that my KI has terrible, negative effects on the psyche. I lost a friend to insanity because of it and I would rather not lose one again." That seemed to lessen Lakyus' doubts about Naruto. The sincerity in his voice and the deep mourning in Naruto's eye…

It was enough to make her regret distrusting him.

If Naruto ever had another reason for implanting his rinnegan right eye, it was that he wanted to have a constant reminder of his home with him at all times. Now, after having it in his eye, he realized the advantages; he could feel the other eye and that also meant he could feel his younger brother, Shikamaru, to a much lesser extent.

It gave the prominent Nara assassin hope that he could return back home, if he found a way to pull on the connection even more. The sharingan could do it, why not the rinnegan? He just needed to find a way to truly understand the godly doujutsu. Initially he had given Shika only one eye because having both eyes would be too much strain on the younger boy, keeping the other eye so he could die with it, but seeing as both he and his brother had the same doujutsu from the same former user it would most definitely be connected with each other.

Even if it was going to take him his whole life he would find a way back home.

Meanwhile in Nazarick, the undead ruler of the great tomb mused on the little Nabe had been able to gather. The magic user had reported that Naruto was still a very much big enigma to her but she was able to sense that the power he had welled up in him was so much it levelled with Ainz's right hand woman, Albedo, if not much, much, much stronger. And this was only before the implant of the rinnegan eye, but Narberal Gamma, also known as Nabe, didn't know about that.

"Do you think he will pose a problem to my ambitions?" Ainz asked in a deep voice, his right eye hole flashed briefly as he added. "Your honest thoughts, please."

"He comes off as a friendly person, my lord. I do not think he will actively impede your plans for the great tomb of Nazarick."

The skeleton hummed and placed his right fist under his chin, perched on the armrest of his great throne. "If that is the case…I want you to befriend him. I will do so as well under my Momon disguise."

The battle maid barely suppressed her snarl. "Befriend him? A filthy human?" she hissed in watered down disgust.

"No." Ainz replied as he stood up slowly, making the maid shuffle backwards on her knees and lower her head even more. The ruler of the tomb spoke in a great voice, addressing the gathered guardians of the floors of the tomb, the winged heteromorphic that stood silently by the side of his throne and the maids stationed at the walls of the throne room. Each guardian, Sebas included, were one knee before the great ruler of the tomb, the maids knelt at the walls. The level of importance in his words were not lost to him. "If he holds as much power as you say, then he is not human."

"What is he then, my lord Ainz?" the resurrected and very salty Demiurge asked, Entoma quirked up when the bespectacled man had voiced her thoughts. The great hall was deathly silent as Ainz Ooal Gown, ruler of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, spoke.

"I fear he is…" he began. "…A godkin."

Authors note

Is this the end of a story…or the beginning…?

For me, it's the end ;)

Well that's the end of this story. See? If y'all kept down your pitch forks you would have seen what really happened to Naruto; he's a family guy (HA) so he would do anything he can to get back to his family, all of it centred on his rinnegan eye. Shikamaru has one too. If I ever write a second part for this story, and that's a big if, then yeah, we'll see if Naruto can get himself back home.

Why did I choose Overlord? I like the manga. My other options would have been One Punch Man (I don't own), Tokyo Ghoul (I don't own) or Darwin's Game (I don't own), among others. I mean, I've still got a lot more Naruto's story ideas before I move onto crossovers and other fandoms entirely. My friends give me lots of ideas so I can't take all the credit. But still, is anyone interested in reading a One Punch Man crossover story with Naruto? Or even a Boku no Hero crossover? I have a queue of stories I plan to publish already but if there is popular demand then sure, I can have a story jump the queue.

Back to this story.

Do you think Momon would keep to his word in befriending Naruto or is it just a guise so he can get close to Naruto and stab him in the back? Do you think Naruto is strong enough to be a godkin, especially with his rinnegan eye? (I mean, even if you don't know what 'godkin' means you can guess from the name…'godkin') Is Shika going to be badass? Personally…most likely.

Is Naruto ever going to have some peace and quiet in his life?

Please, let me know in the reviews. See you when I see you.

Foy.
