Blame the Demons that Raised Me
Chapter Two The Start of Revenage, Simple Things
~Grubby~
Ooo~! I get to travel with the mastah once again. Ooo~!
"Mastah mastah I smell death!" I cheered as we minions follow the overlord.
"Yeah..it's the village's graveyard... we're digging them up we need bodies that still have flesh on them." The mastah commanded.
"Yes yes! Diggy Diggy!" I shouted to tunnel minions, when they leave I jump in hole and bash open wooden box with me lucky forge hammer. It break into little pieczies and mastah come look in. He gave nod and I grab body then toss it to above hole. I do that over and over many bodies take back to minion cavern.
Hole gets filled when we return to minion cavern. I see minion eating off bone. "No fair! No fair! Gimmie!"
~Naruto~
I watched as the main digger minion pounces on another minion. They started fighting over what I'm guessing was left of Mizuki.
I felt a bit disturbed and creeped out but I had other things, more important things, on my mind. I watched as most of the minions, aside from Gnarl and the two fighting, tossed the bodies into a hole, which I'm surprised I never really noticed.
"Gnarl was this always here?" I said as I stood next to Gnarl.
"Yes my lord it's for the cavern heart, soon from the resources and materials we will have gathered the minion elements will be re-awakened within the cavern heart and then we will know how to make new hives among many other things. My lord."
"Like what?"
"Well, sire, for one, it can tell us how to make new hives, give you new spells, allow those spells to be upgraded: refined, made more powerful; and do the same for your basic human abilities and so much more my lord, I won't live through the long list of things this ghastly beauty can do."
"Wow that thing can do all of that? Impressive."
"Indeed, our most powerful weapon and tool aside from the overlord himself."
"Have they always been guys?"
"Mostly, though we personally don't care about the sex, just the evilness within the selected individual. I believe that's the last of the bodies. What is next dark master?"
I walked up to the glowing scroll which was floating above a shallow pound that was now half way filled with the decaying bodies of the dead. The smell in the cave was putrid but this is only the first part. I tried to ignore the horrid smell now living in my nose as I tried to figure out the next thing I needed to make the heart at home.
"Hmmmm hmmm aha! Water!.. fresh clean water. A forest this big must have streams and rivers running all over it." I said as I turned around to see Gnarl looking up at me, I just noticed how hard it is to tell what that guy is thinking.
"That can be arranged without your impressive self. Is there anything else?"
"Hmm...hmm...fire…light them on fire. Might want to use tree branches and twigs and make sure that it's not just the top layers either."
"Ahh I see, I suppose we do the torching first. We'll find a way to do that too without you, you have better things to be doing. Is there nothing else my lord?"
"I don't think so..hmmmm...no there's nothing else that needs to be done."
"Then you should take a much needed rest sire. You've had quite the day. A room has been prepared and is waiting for you."
"What? You want me to sleep down here? In this place?"
"I can confess that it is not the best and not worthy of your greatness but the room is by far the best in this cavern. It also is far away from the putrid smell of the dead bodies. I know the smell can be overwhelming at first. Also it's far better than your rat hole in the that dirty room you've been living in. "
"...good point, so where it is?" I asked, a part of me wanted to go back to the room I was secretly living in but I guess actually having a place to call home got to me more.
"Come with me oh most vigorous one."- A minion in a weird hat with black fur around his neck and his waist said to me. Looked at him for a second and noticed that he had a glass eye and sports a small cane with a skull on it. There were also a few colorful things just beneath the skull but for the life of me I couldn't figure out what the hell they were.
"Uhh...minion...what are those little things? On your staff?" I asked the weird minion standing by the tunnel.
~Quaver~
"Those are Gnome hats me lord, don't they look rather fetching? I think they do mhm." I exclaimed not expecting a confirmation from him as I slid down a small slope to a long hallway with other tunnels branching out.
"W-What's a Gnome?" The master asked me as he reached the bottom, sounded like he couldn't even fathom the miniature vexation.
"...a very tiny thing about as big as my toe nail but they can still steal your socks or anything they can get their hands on in a few quick moments." I said as I swiped dirt off of his clothes.
"Oh...sounds like a pain...so I haven't really asked this but where are you guys from anyway?"
"Oh well thank you for asking me my lord. We come from the dark depths, formed by madness and chaos, we also love to spread it. ...the Netherworld master." I said with a heavy sigh, what kind of land is this? I suppose in some retrospective it's a positive thing these people know nothing.
"The Netherworld?"
"My my times really have changed, I believe it's what one here would call hell, but our Netherworld is so much more refined. Or at least it was before they showed up." I grumbled out as I walked.
"The uprising I take it?"
"Yes a band of heroes attacked the overlord in his dark tower they took what they didn't destroy and when his corrupt soul reformed in the netherworld, they were already there, trashing the place, they made it a nice place to be with flowers and grass ugh the travesty. Turns out the first attack was just a way of keeping him in one place for a while. Thu somehow discovered how to sorrow to the Netherwolrd, we were too distracted by the previous Overlord's glorious take over to notice until it was too late. And on top of everything for some barbaric reason they even stole my harp, it was gift from an even older overlord." I whimpered at the thought of loss. "It was beautiful even throughout the years of unyielding performances."
"I'm sorry to hear it..."
"Oh kindness is not becoming of an evil overlord, master, but... much gratitude." I said with a bow and a smile.
"...your welcome." He said after taking a moment to think. "So uhh what did they destroy?"
"Oh what didn't they destroy would be an easier question. They dismantled the hives so the overlord couldn't summon any more minions-"
"Hives? Like bee hives?"
"Same concept but not exactly. More of a constant spawner for the overlord regardless of where he is."
"That sounds pretty cool. I'm sorry for interrupting."
"You're too kind master." I had a smile but I tried to look upset, it wasn't working I'm starting to take to him.
"Well you guys are my friends aren't you?"
Friends? My my he is definitely different than all of the other Overlords aside from the fact that he actually talks.
"...more like servants my lord, anyone of us will willingly die for you and most of us probably will."
"Oh..." He seemed disappointed, I've never seen a look like that or that tone of voice or any voice of an overload for that matter.
"Yes so don't get too attached to too many minions, can't have you mourning every single minion that dies. It's far too common in the field of battle."
"I guess so..so what else was destroyed?"
"Hmm lets see, the spell catalysts though you will get those back when the tower heart, well cavern heart is all powered up. The best part about the cavern heart is that it will grow as you do and it has all the knowledge of your predecessors which is why we had to save of the water it was soaking in. The water absorbed some of its limitless properties."
"I can see why you guys are so fussy about it I would be too.. Is this it?" The master said as we came to a stop, there was a wooden door next to me.
"Yes though usually the overlord would have…a better bedroom this is the best we could do under these conditions." I said as I pushed the door open. From left to right, there was a potted plant, a large bed then a desk. One the back wall was a shelf with books in it, and in the right wall was a stolen portrait.
"I like it...though I'm used to have a window...anyway wake me up when the sun comes out I don't want to be late for school..I guess..should I even go?"
"Why don't you sleep on it me lord and if you need anything I'll be right outside your door." I bowed as I left the room, closing the to stand outside of it.
~Third person~
Naruto awoke in the middle of the night he left his room, which was far away from the throne room, which was emitting a foul order. Nevertheless, he with Quaver by his feet, walked all the way back to the throne room.
"Ah you're up, did the heart wake you? Quaver said he tried to do it himself but you were a very stubborn sleeper." Gnarl said as he and all of the minions stood staring at the cavern heart, under it where the burning remains of the corpses.
"Oh and yes I think.. How did you know?" Naruto said as he glanced down at Gnarl
"You're about to witness something extraordinary my lord. The final element is about to be added. I had the diggers redirect a nearby river they should be here at any moment."
"Ohh." Naruto stood just behind the elder minion as he looked at the cavern heart which was soon covered with water. The stream poured down upon the scroll and waves of magical energy flowed into the scroll. Red energy from the fire, green energy from the boiling corpses, blue energy from the water and brown energy from the surrounding dirt. Then Mizuki's evil life force was absorbed into the scroll as well, adding a brand new element to the cavern heart, chakra.
The scroll released a nearly blinding light as the masses of energy combined with it and was accepted.
The glowing scroll started to spin in place and unravel itself. It wrapped itself up into a ball which expanded to fit the size of the empty pond. With another bright light the scroll had been shaped to the form of a massive hollow sphere.
There was one more ray of light, symbolizing the completed formation of the new cavern heart. This light carried with it a wave of power, felt by Naruto and all of the minions.
The stream rained down upon it but the water slid down into pond in four small parts, now being the only thing inside it.
"Woah..so that's a tower heart?" Naruto asked as he looked at the glowing sphere.
"More or less, but it's not ready yet, it still needs to be charged with power probably both magical and chakra based."
"I don't know about the magical part but the chakra part will be easy…all I have to do is kill people well ninjas right?"
"I love your enthusiasm young lord but you can't just start killing people no no people will want to kill you and you can't die, you're doing such an evil job."
"I guess your right, thanks,...well least it smells a whole lot better.."
"Oh you better get to schooling my lord..I'm sure the answer will come to us in time because evil always finds a way." Gnarl said as he figured Naruto was running late.
"Ok...I do kinda want to go but I'm probably gonna get in trouble.."
"I wouldn't worry about that, we cleaned up the after math of your well executed revenge, couldn't just leave it like that, would have been disastrous for the future."
"Oh thank you." Naruto said as a minion tugged on his arm.
"You're welcome. Now get going, my lord. If you do run into trouble, we'll do what we can to aid you."
~Naruto~
Being evil, being a monster as Mizuki said I was, doesn't seem all that bad, i now have friends who have been the nicest things to ever really talk to me and they actually mean it. I may be the evil monster that everyone thinks I am but only to those that deserve it, like Mizuki, Iruka and the whole fucking village. These minions however, they really care about me and they actually want me around and even if they say that I should be evil, I can't help but feel like I shouldn't, well at least not to them.
I stood outside of the school and took a deep breath, I could feel rage start to build but I had to keep myself calm, Gnarl said no killing. The idea never really before crossed my mind but now, I know how it feels and I don't hate it, not one bit. In fact, just thinking about it makes me feel all warm inside.
I entered the classroom, I was treated the same as last time with people snickering and making fun of me behind my back. I sat in my seat and kept to myself like usual.
"Morning class let's get-Naruto? Naruto! You're alive!?"-Iruka blurted out in shock and surprise as he saw me.
"Yep." I didn't care about this, I didn't care that he seemed happy about it. Since I can't kill him or anyone else, I just want to get through this day as fast as possible.
"Well I'm glad your alright are you alright? Do you need to go to the medical wing?"
"I'm fine." I growled out though he didn't seem affected. I'm not falling for anymore tricks he doesn't actually care for me he just wants to keep me in line. Well one of these days I'm going to rip out his heart.
"I'd like to talk to you, right now actually. Sorry class, stay put. Naruto." I let out a groan as I left my seat and went out in the halls with him. "Naruto what happened? I tried to find you but I couldn't. did Mizuki get the scroll?"
"Time to lie young lord, probably best if they don't know the truth." Gnarl recommended.
"Uh yeah and I tried to stop him but he beat me..I uhh had to use the shadow clone jutsu to make it out."
"...can I see it?"
"Sure I guess, shadow clone jutsu." I said as I made a two fingered cross, I created five full clones of myself before crossing my arms.
"You actually did it...I'm impressed."
"I still can make more. I needed more to take- make a good get away from Mizuki."
"I believe you and you know what. I think you've earned this with this whole Mizuki fiasco. And with the shadow clones. Congratulations Naruto Uzimaki, you graduated from the academy. I'm so proud of you." Iruka took off his bandana and handed it to me after finding it difficult to put it on me himself. "Also can I ask why your dressed like that? What happened to your usual clothes?"
"Uhh I ran into some new friends and they gave me this armor as a gift."
"...I see...well if you run into any trouble, any trouble at all. You can always talk to me you know that right?" Iruka's smile, it made me sick, I wanted to punch him so hard right now.
"Yeah." I said with my arms crossed, the clones exploding into smoke behind me. "Whatever." I said as I headed back into the room, having the bandana in my grasp. I took my seat and put the bandana on the table. Well least I graduated.
~Grubby~
With new heart formed, I can power makeshift forge and make weapons. But I no have recipes for new weapons and I have heard of brand new toys, I want to make those but I no know how. But da mastah knows so I go to him. I go to where mastah is, da scool. I hide in the bushiez and wait for mastah. I see others but no mastah, I wait more, then I see mastah I move to next bush then next. I hide in bush master walks next to.
"Mastah?" I call and make mastah stop and turn to me.
"Hm? Oh uhh which one are you again?"
"I, Grubby, mastah."
"Right Gr-grubby? Well what are you doing here?"
"Grubby came to help bash."
"Oh well that's nice I think but I think I'm good..but aren't you just a digger?"
"Nooo mastah I also in charge of forge, make weapons for you. I make your bashy bashzies, slicey slicezies and mashy mashzies."
"What The hel-...ohh ohh ok..oh ok thanks Gnarl. Well then he needs weapon scrolls and probably some actual weapons to model after or something. I know they have a storage unit somewhere around here where they keep that kind of stuff. I'll just go there, that place is bound to the things he needs I think it's in the back. Should I take him with me?"
Ooo~ I haven't been able to break lots while we landed here.
"Ohh he would? No can't have that, I'm sorry Grubby but you're gonna have to stay here-" Aww no bashzies with da master. "-or come back later, if I get any scrolls on weapons I'll drop them in the hole you crawled out of..where is it anyway?"
"Follow me." I said cheerfully moving to bush to bush back to hole.
"Ah ok..I'll be back." Aww the mastah left. Miss him already, best return to minion cavern.
~Naruto~
I'm surprised that a minion just came here, I knew they went places but I figured they'd stay in the cavern. Even more shocking is that, that minion, Grubby, is a weapon master of sorts that's interesting, do all the minions have special skills like that? Well there's uhh a musical one and a physic one so I guess anything's possible with these little fellas.
I walked back into the school, ignoring the gossips and went to where I believe they kept the weapons. Though I ran into a guard so I asked him if these are where the weapons were and he said they were. Then he said that I shouldn't be needing them but I ignored that part. Without a good excuse to give him and finding that fighting him probably won't work in my favor, least not in the long run. I used my best technique, the one that no man can step up against.
"Sexy Jutsu!" I transformed myself into a smoking hot babe version of me and it worked like a charm. The guard was out cold and by the sound of it Gnarl had to take a breather too. I reached into his pockets and pulled out a key and unlocked the door.
I opened the armory up and took a few scrolls as well as weapons. When I went to grab one it disappeared before I could actually touch it. "What the hell? Gnarl?"
"Ahem yes lord? What happened my lord?"
"The scroll I was about to touch disappeared. Doesn't that only happen to life force?"
"Ahh yes- it happens to both your life force and your loot, objects of desire. Fear not, it's probably somewhere around here in an empty storage room. You won't have to ever carry a thing if your intention is for it to go to the cavern. However, heavier objects- ah we'll cross that bridge later. I suggest you take what you can before that guard wakes up."
"Right okay. Hmm well I want you and you and this little thing and that one and one and umm maybe this one." I reached for different scrolls and weaponry, each one disappeared the moment my hand neared it. "But I don't want you." I said as I reached for one and actually touched it. My eyes widened and I opened the scroll, it was about large shurikens. "Actually I do want you." I said as I closed the scroll, which disappeared a second later. "I should probably get going now."
I left the storage unit and returned the key after re-locking the door.
~Grubby~
Da mastah returns and tells me of the gifts he bestowed upon me. I go to minion cavern and find gifts in one of the empty rooms. I have fun times, play with tools by stabbing Quaver.
It great fun but no tool for bashies, make me sad. I bite at scroll but they no work then Quaver take it and pull down.
"Imbecile...woe is me, being the smartest minion is a blessing and a curse."
"Me no get but shut up anyway Quaver."
"Ugh...hmm this language is more complicated than drunken dwarven, let's see. Oh dear I can't make any sense of this, we might have to wait until the master returns to figure out what these things say."
"Shut Up QuaVer!"
"I'll take my leave. I need to write up songs of praise for our dark lord anyway."
"Shut up Quaver!" I shout then see no Quaver."Heheh." I giggled the go to play with tools with minion buddies.
~Mortis~
I slowly can feel that a rioting calm is upon us, a new heart, a new master, in a new land. Calm is not the correct word but any other of the sort would make me sick.
The cavern heart, as we've labeled it, is working well, it appears to be deciphering the words of the scroll it used to be. Though I don't leave the cavern like Grubby or Stench, I have noticed a change in the air. There are now totem holders, for manna, health and minions. We have put the totems there ourselves, which we had one of each. However, there seems to be another place holder next to the mana totem, though what could go there escapes us.
Though aside from that, there's just a feeling of greater evil in the air that is quite welcomed among all of us.
~Gnarl~
When the master finally returned from his schooling, I informed him of the difficult to comprehend scrolls, which were then explained marvelously to Grubby and myself. He also re-wrote the scrolls in a much clearer language. After that I asked him about the writing on the cavern heart, that on the other hand, he found was much more difficult. He explain that since it was a massive ball in the air and that the jutsus were already complicated and seemed a bit jumbled, he found it difficult to fully understand them himself.
"From what I've been able to make out, this is really heavy duty stuff. I think I saw something about sealing another's chakra…how the hell do you do that?"
"And what exactly does that mean? I've come to understand that chakra allows one to do assortment of things from substitution to body manipulation to making full body clones..but sealing it?"
"Would stop the person from doing those things forever. Well maybe not forever or maybe for just a week or something. I'm just guessing it's a long time since it's a forbidden jutsu."
"Sounds wonderfully evil.."
"Not as evil as the line right above it, it sent a chill down my spine. Actually they both kinda did."
"What was it?" I asked with my own spine had a small rush of eagerness.
"Stealing someone else's chakra."
"Sounds like it could come in handy."
"Yeah but it would take a lot of time to master such a dangerous technique."
"I can imagine but not impossible I hope?" I inquired, such a skill would be a shame to pass up.
"Ah well no..."
"Marvelous, though do you think you might want to practice your skills more? Being overlord isn't an walk in the park..more of a walk through burning villages and constant screaming in your ears, much more calming if you ask me."
"I'll take your word for it...I was wondering about something, actually a few things.."
"Yes sire?"
"If you been around here for so long, how did you not notice chakra before?"
"We're not natives my lord, we've come from a very different land-"
"The Netherworld.."
"Exactly, the only reason we're here is because we were driven out of our previous residence then hunted as we traversed the lands. And to avoid the same here, in this land, we've hidden ourselves underground."
"Oh, sorry to hear it.."
"Nonsense my lord it takes more than that to keep these slaves of evil down."
"That's good er evil to hear. So another question I had is..how many types of minions are there?"
"Just four, reds, browns, greens and blues. Each with their own special abilities."
"Oh ok..so I'm guessing we're gonna need those guys cuz I've only seen one green one blue a bunch of browns but not even one red.."
"Yes well we need life force for resurrections and summoning. Each minion can be summoned with their respective life force. Meaning we need red life force for red minions, blue life force for blues and so on and so forth."
"Ok..where would I find red, blue or green life force?"
"Well red minions are fire based creatures being able to wield it in a long ranged attack, absorb it and are resistant to it. Blues are magic and water based often lay about bodies of water but are very weak physically not that good in a fight at all but can resurrect fallen minions so they do have a use; they are also the only minions that can survive swimming in water. They are quite a number of them here but there back on the boat."
"They're on a boat?"
"Oh yes, they prefer to stay around water and also they were guarding the large sea vessel while the minion cavern was undergoing heavily construction."
"Ah well I'd like to see them but please go on about the other minion types."
"Yes…well I believe I was about to tell you about the browns. Browns don't have a type they're just the most common minion and the easiest to harvest life force for. These minions are the front liners. They're hardy, strong but not very bright but then again very few minions are. They are going to be very useful as they are the strongest and most durable of all the minions. They also like to dress themselves up in armor and pick up things to hit other things with. Now for the greens. Green minions are poison based with a passion for climbing on an opponent's and stabbing them in the back. They're immune to anything poisonous and when placed on a guard maker can turn invisible; they'd be very stealthy if it wasn't for their horrid smell."
"I've noticed, and I have a few questions one is what's magic? Two, what's a guard marker?"
"A world without even the knowledge of magic, these are dark times and not the desired evil kind. Guard markers... you don't have to worry about for now. Magic, I suppose, is like chakra in a way you can do incredible things with it in the blink of an eye but often one doesn't need sign language to make a basic attack happen. The only time real work has to be put into it is if you're making a ritual of some kind or a curse or even a summoning...but you won't have to worry about that just yet. But unlike chakra most people aren't born with it though some might be gifted with it, it doesn't come naturally most people have to learn it."
"I could learn how to do magic?"
"I should imagine so..it's mostly based on emotion and other times on desire and on some high level magics, incantations. Regardless, with enough training, you could perform a spell in no time. Even more so now that the cavern heart formed and running, it'll be easier for you to perform a simple task of..performing a.. fireball for starters."
"I want to learn that..this magic thing sounds interesting.."
"I suppose your ninja training can wait..follow me."
~Naruto~
Gnarl took me down to a wide room, it was very big with lots of space but there were crudely made targets throughout the room.
"Now for an inexperienced young master, the best thing to do first is to feel the magic within you. And try to concentrate on forming a ball of it in your hands." Gnarl instructed as he stood off to the side.
"Ok." I closed my eyes and had my hands facing each other with spread fingers and a few inches apart. I tried to feel the magic inside of me, mostly all I could feel was my chakra, is there a difference. "Gnarl. Would magic feel different than chakra?"
"Hmm possibly so possibly not. Just try to sense the more foreign feeling that will mostly be the murmur of magic.."
"Gotcha." I tried to concentrate once more and this time tries to look deeper within myself.
"If you're having difficulty try to sense the feeling when you were next to the tower heart. You had very little trouble then."
"Oh ok, yeah I think I can feel a little bit of that."
"Excellent now expound on that, er, try to bring that feeling to life..within your hands..adding an emotion like anger or rage would help."
I didn't say anything I just thought about Mizuki said and how the villagers have treated me or more importantly how they looked at me. "Tell me what is your angriest moment so far my young lord."
"When Iruka sensei wouldn't forgive me, he knew it wasn't my fault and he still said he hated me! And that's not fair! I haven't done anything that bad for him to hate me so much!"
"Bravo young master, you should open your eyes now." At Gnarl's suggestion I opened my eyes and saw a ball of fire within my hand. "Remember that feeling master it'll come in handy. Now try to make another one in your other hand."
I just nodded as I put my hands flat in the air, the palms facing the ceiling. I took a deep breath and while closed my eyes once more. I remembered his face and the words he used and I opened my eyes once more. I was amazed that it worked again and so soon.
"You're a natural my lord, now why don't you have some target practice, you can pretend it's your former sensei' face."
"Yeah right in the face.." I growled out as I pulled on arm back, figuring out which target to hit. I chose one of the targets in the second row. I tossed the fire ball and it made a direct hit, making the target burst into flames. "Ahaha! Die Iruka!" I threw the other one at the next target in the second row, which also bursted into flames. "Burn you son of a bitch!" I threw another one just a second later, I tree two more before Gnarl spoke up.
"As much as I enjoy your rage filled episodes. There's more to teach you in the ways of magic."
"Right, so this is fire based are there other styles of magic?"
"Other styles? Ah yes right like your styles of chakra. No magic is what magic does but there is light magic and dark magic, and various kinds of arcane spells but light and dark are the main categories everything else is mostly neutral."
"Ah ok...so what's the difference between light and dark magic?"
"For one, intent, objective and desire. Dark magic is evil magic, meant to make others suffer and is fueled by rage, the need for revenge you know all the things that warm my black heart. Ugh while light magic is all about courting daisies and bringing good will bleh uck I feel sick just thinking about it. Now before I vommit let's see what you can do with dark magic."
"I'm all ears."
"Try to lift the first target off the ground. Here magic is all about concentration and desire. See it happening in your mind and feel it through your body."
"Ok." I closed my eyes as I held out my hands towards the target. I pictured it my mind over and over and could lightly feel something move through my hands. I slowly opened my eyes to see the target shifting in place. "Lift damn you lift." I said as I tried to raise my hands and the target.
"Magic is not about hand signs or movements like what your use to master, it's about feeling, feel it move with your hands. Magic in this case is an extension of your hands you have to will with your mind, body, and soul but not your mouth."
I growled to myself as I tried to calm down. Soon I could feel the energy er magic, so all I had to do was will it to raise in the air but they would budge one bit. "Do you need a feeling to assist your efforts master?"
"I think that would be nice."
"Then imagine that you are weightless like a vulture circling the sky for a bite to eat or the wind in your air as you leap through trees."
I imagined I was flying through the forest, weaving past trees and being stop by no one and nothing. It was peaceful, the sun shining down through the leaves and hitting my face, giving it a warm embrace.
I slowly opened my eyes to see the target hovering off of the ground by just an inch, but off the ground nonetheless. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, wanting it to be higher. As I exhaled I opened my eyes to see it rising in the air, by just another inch though.
"Good master now imagine it being that Iruka fellow..and crush it into tiny itty bitty pieces."
A frown found its way onto my face as my hands contracted, in an instant my hands became fists and the target exploded into pieces that fell to the floor.
"Wonderful, though I have something to tell you regarding the cavern heart."
I calmed myself down and felt a small rush of exhaustion, I took a deep pant as I turned my head to Gnarl.
"Yeah?"
"Now that it's formed, it needs to be powered, typically it would be charged with magic but considering how you have no knowledge of magic and it's not discussed at all in the village; I'm guessing it's not prominent in this land. So the cavern heart will have to be powered by chakra. Least for now."
"Ok...so anyone's chakra?"
"Yes though the stronger the opponent the stronger the chakra essence will be, I should think, but I wouldn't go too far over your head young master."
"...hm well...I can't think of anything sorry… the only thing coming to me is this ramen place I've always want to go to."
"Ramen?"
"It's like noodle soup and it just smells really good."
"I see...have you eaten at all today master? I don't believe you have. I suppose eating now and powering the heart later. How do you make this ramen that you fancy so much?"

After learning of their master's desire, the minions ransacked Ichiraku's Ramen shop in the night, stealing as many supplies as they could. They began cooking in the closed shop and when they were almost done, one went to bring their master to sample the food.
Naruto crawled out of a hole just outside the ramen shop, he took his seat and a bowl of ramen was slid in from of him. His smile couldn't be seen thanks to the mask but it was there and he soon devoured the meal and asked for more but this one to have beef.
Naruto was soon joined by Gnarl, who passed on the strange food.
"Any ideas now lord?"
"Huh? Oh well since you mentioned a boat maybe we could travel to a different village, each one has their own specialty element. How much chakra will the cavern heart need?"
"I'd say being a wise minion..the size of an army."
"How big is an army?"
"Probably...the whole village or several."
"...hmm a part of me doesn't think I can do that for a number of reasons.."
"What does the other part of you think?"
"That I'm going to need help."
