Blame The Demons That Raised Me

by Flaming Flamingo of Faggotry

Idea originally from the halfa wannabe Who started Rise of Legions, but without a confirm nor a deny but a request to do I'm making it my own, mostly. My own idea for the story: Naruto, chosen to be the minions' new overlord, with revenge in his heart towards against the Leaf Village, Naruto strives to become a definite power in the world. WRN:blood, lots of death, vulgarity, etc.

8. Red Sky In The Morning

Blame the Demons That Raised Me

Chapter Eight: Red Sky In the Morning

~Third Person~

"Blood magic? What's that?" Naruto asked curiously.

"Very powerful magic my lord. If used defensively such as a seal or as a barrier it is indestructible and if used offensively is devastating." Gnarl responded in kind.

"You don't say." Naruto said with interest.

"Yes sire, but it's high level stuff not to be taken lightly."

"Alright so what did you have in mind?"

"Well while I was looking through the Big Book O' Evil for our possible overlord in the sarcophagus, I came across a passage about a delightfully wicked woman, who would bathe in the blood of sorcerers, demons and other magical creatures, to absorb their powers."

"Woah that's so awesome so you actually think that I will be able to do that too?"

"It's not that simple my lord, you cannot just simply slit their throats and let it pool just anywhere."

"Fine just tell me what we need."

"For one, an enchanted bathtub which we happen to have that in the Netherworld."

"Wow, really? Cool."

"Indeed, it was acquired by a late master who came across it and took it, though since blood magic is hardly a requirement for Overlording it was nothing more than a way to get cleaner than ever before. Since the tub wasn't evil in its use, it was left as it was in the Netherworld."

"Well glad that I don't have to go hunting for that, what's next?"

"For one, preparing your body as absorbing the powers and abilities of another creature is no easy task, well on a wide scale. However, before we get too into that I should mention that in order for the blood bath to work, you would have to soak for a number of hours my lord and you cannot get out or the whole thing is ruined and you'll have to start all over again. I would imagine."

"Oh...so how many hours plate we talking? Two three...four?"

"If you were at a higher level possibly yes but, for your level I wouldn't dare approach it without doubling that."

"Huh?...so...you mean eight?"

"Indeed, I do. Though more hours are a safe bet."

"That's too damn many, I have other things to do than to sit in a tub all day! It's-"

"If you do not have the patience for such a spell my lord then you should not dare to approach it as it can easy have disastrous results. That is on the off chance you survive, you would be left with4out your magic possibly even without your chakra not that it would matter as the damage done to your body would be beyond repair and that is not mentioning the damage it does to your internals."

"..." Naruto had crossed his arms and looked off to the side, having nothing to say.

"I'll tell you a little more about it my lord, while in the tub you will be focusing on the trait or power you want the most out of your victim and you will have to do so for the entire time. Should you break focus the blood will turn bad and it will destroy you but not kill you. I suggestion you take time out of your days for meditation."

"...find anything on the coffin?..."

"Indeed, I did my lord it was trip down memory lane in fact. A long time ago I put a hero on the verge of death in a sarcophagus to keep him from dying. However, long before that when I was still causing mayhem myself my overlord came across that sarcophagus. I won't prattle on with the entire story, I'll just say that it has the power to maintain and mend any form that is in it."

"...but...so?"

"So?...on its own I don't believe it can do that much however, I looked for into the world of possibilities and it can be used for a spell of necromancy. However, I also believe you should travel to our converted land as it is rich with magic."

"Why?"

"Because there are sure to be relics there that can boost your magical capabilities far more than simple training can. If you find one and bring it back here or to the Netherworld, it can only help you."

"Oh well how long will that take?"

"It depends on how fast you find the right relic, I would imagine that there are several. I doubt that you'll find them all, but do not fret I will inform you when it has been two weeks as you should do some training for the Chunin exams."

"Well that's good to hear...better get started..."

"I believe this will help you in more ways than one my lord, least overall."

"Yeah it will boost my magic."

"That and you want to destroy the leaf village, do you not?"

"Yeah."

"But you do not have a plan do you."

"I-! I...I don't..."

"Well you're about to attack the Shining Justice, like your Leaf Village but on a much larger scale."

"I imagine they'll have some tough people..."

"You would be correct, but as you said my lord, you should get going."

"Right, anything I should know about your land?"

"If I think of anything I'll inform you, my liege. Now, do remember how get to our land? It's through the Netherworld which will send you to a weak point in the Golden."

With that Naruto took his leave, going down to the lower level, using the portal to go to the Netherworld then using that to go the minions' former land. Naruto appeared in a flower field on top of a hill, he could see a village not too far off so he decided to walk towards it.

"I'm afraid neither I nor the minions will be as much help as the Golden can completely change the landscapes and it would transform any minion into a fluffy vibrant abomination, I'll ask Dimmer if he can lend aid. In the meantime, go into town and learn what is going on." Gnarl said through Naruto's mask.

"Fine." Naruto said as he walked down the hill then through the flower field and finally into the town. Inside, he saw people walking around and wooden houses with straw roofs. Naruto looked around as he walked down the main street, people wore bright smiles and everything was clean, nothing looked out of place except for him. The ground was soft in his boots, he could see that there were flowers flourishing by every household.

People acknowledged his existence but Naruto did not return the favor. He kept walking in silence until he decided to ask someone about the latest things happening in the village. He learned that the townsfolk were preparing for a large festival as an important person was visiting their town. Naruto asked more figuring he should learn what he can even if it hasn't quite peeked his interest. The townsperson told him that the last time the town was visited the town was given a gift and soon everything became nice and happy.

Naruto pressed on that, asking what kind of gift was it and what was it like before. He was informed that things were very said as the tow was poor and defenseless leading to bandits and thieves robbing them weekly if not daily. As for the gift, that particular townsperson did not see what it was aside from that it was glowing and was told that it was hidden somewhere within the village. Naruto raised an unseen eyebrow and asked what the object was but, all he was told was that it brought the town good luck ever since. Naruto grumbled to himself as he walked away, but then he was given the task of ruining the party to be. Naruto didn't even have to ask the townsperson, one glance he could tell that the party was taking place in the street.

There weren't that many party supplies, but Naruto went to each one and destroyed them. He could see the angry and distain on the people's faces but, then a colorful wave washed over them. The people returned to their more cheerful disposition and began rebuilding what was broken.

Naruto looked at the people with questions in his mind, one of which was soon answered.

"Greetings master." The voice belonged to Dimmer, who was speaking through the mask as he has just been fetched and brought to Gnarl.

"Dimmer? Do you know what that was?" Naruto asked out loud, being somewhat ignored by the towns people.

"Yes, it was a special precaution in case an overlord or something unsavory happened, it would return the people back to the happy state they once were in."

"Ok so how do I stop it?"

"Perhaps bringing my creation over to your ways, so instead of keeping everyone happy saps they become unfriendly and mischievous."

"Sounds easy enough, where is this magical object."

"I believe it is in the Mayor's house, unfortunately I do not remember where all the other crystals were hidden so I can't help you as much as I would like. Forgive me, my lord."

"Yeah...don't worry about, thanks for the help. Now, where the Mayor's house?" Naruto asked himself, as he began walking, carefully scanning the town. After a decent walk, Naruto came to a very nice house, it was larger than the others and had a mailbox that said: Mayor's House. Naruto walked over the well-kept and virtually flawless lawn to the front door. Naruto kicked the door down and two people came running out, the mayor and his wife. "Hey mayor guy, where's the magical gift you were given? I want it."

"I don't see why not, you seem like a trustworthy young man." The mayor said before he took of a glowing unicorn horn out of his pocket. Naruto took it with a grin but as he held it, examining its craftsmanship, he got lost in its beauty. Naruto stared at the unicorn horn, his desires to do anything else fading. Though he was saved from his trance by Gnarl, who had called out his name several times, only getting louder each time. Naruto's head shot up and he avoided looking directly at the magical horn.

The young overlord thought about what would be his best choice of action, the horn was indeed powerful and using evil presence would take too long. After some more thinking, Naruto decided on using the Nine Tailed Fox's power. With a calm mind and closed eyes, Naruto drew on that dark power, he focused on letting some of the dark chakra into his mental barrier. He opened his eyes to see that he was in his version one state, he looked back at the horn and felt nothing. Seeing that he was unaffected he gripped the horn with both hands and focused, sending his chakra into it.

The process itself was too long and Naruto definitely had to concentrate as he could feel the unicorn horn fighting back the evilness. With the eventual completion of his task, a black wave ran over the entire town, changing everything. The town entered a poor state, with rotten buildings, cracked down unkempt streets, decaying plant life including crops, and an awakened populous. Seeing the true state of his beautiful town, the mayor cursed in spite and anger.

Naruto looked at the unicorn horn now, the chakra around him fading, he smiled and tossed it up and down. It was a mixture of black and red with a dark glow.

"Well done master that is sure to keep the townspeople forever miserable but the Shining Justice will be hell-bent on returning it back to its merrier form." Dimmer warned.

"Master send it to the Netherworld, the Shining Justice won't be able to reach it now with the Netherworld's new defenses." Gnarl stated.

Naruto nodded and the unicorn horn disappeared in his grasp. Unable to see a single living flower in sight, the young overlord began walking out of the town.

For two weeks, Naruto fended off the Shining Justice, who were no match for him, collected and corrupted thirty unicorn horns and took over five towns but fully destroy two just to know how it felt. The many others that he corrupted were left untouched as he truthfully wanted nothing to do with the magical land. During his trip, Naruto came across a large castle with a large gate in front of it. It appeared to have been abandoned a long time ago, but unlike the towns it was untouched by Shining Justice. The walls had cracks in them, foliage had taken over from the ground up, no one was taking any type of care of the large castle.

"Oh, my is that? It is. It's Castle Gromgard, I thought it would have been torn down by now. Go inside see if you can't loot any useful items." Gnarl said with a hint of nostalgia.

"Ok but what's Castle Grom..gard?" Naruto asked as he used magic to lower the drawbridge.

"It belongs to a young overlord like you but if I'm remembering this correctly, he was indeed older than you by a few years. He wasn't as evil as you are, my lord but he got the job done, he had revenge in his heart and eventually it came to pass. I suppose he is long dead by now but there still might be a few useful objects laying about, so get to it my lord."

Naruto went into the castle, seeing rusted suits of armor on the sides of the door along with cracked filled statue of hooded men, and a large stone table in front of him. To his right there was a short hallway that led to a kitchen, Naruto walked passed it, staying in the main hall. Up a short flight of mirrored stairs, one leading left and one leading right but both ultimately leading to the second level.

Naruto stood at the top of the small flight of stairs, to the fair right was a dead end with two large doors opposite of each other. To his near left was a corridor leading to a stairway and a weird door with a golden hand marking on it. Naruto took a moment to think then put his Minion Gauntlet to it and with a rumble the door rose from the ground, revealing a hidden path.

Naruto entered the corridor and found a surprisingly well-lit back room. Naruto looked around the candle filled room, a he kept to himself as he searched the place.

"I do remember Lord Gromgard, it was a shame he died when he did. He ruled his land, well once he dealt with his father, then he really ruled the land." Gnarl informed Naruto through the mask.

"What's so special about him, was he super powerful or something?" Naruto asked as he found a stairway he walked down it and found a large metal object pouring hot liquid into a small pool of the same liquid.

"No, not really. That is a forge my lord, it appears to be well kept too, I wonder who has been using it." Naruto continued walking and when he reached the base he saw a small red minion, hammering something. "A red? I was sure that all of them were cutified, appears that some have made it to a safe place."

"Guessing it's safe since it belongs to a semi-evil overlord? And apparently one that has been dead for a while." Naruto said as he walked towards the red, who was looking at him with a grin.

"New master?" The red asked.

"Yeah, I'm the new overlord, where are the other red minions? Or are you the only one?" Naruto asked before the red walked passed him, telling him to follow. Naruto followed the red minion until they came to a small band of nine other reds with a weird red structure in the back ground.

Naruto tried to show interest in the reds, who were jumping and cheering at the sight of his maliciousness, but he was far more interested in the strange object just a few feet away.

"Ah the Red Minion Hive, glad to see it's here though, sadly it appears to still be broken my lord we need some way of reviving it as well as adapting it to chakra. Grab it and the forge with your new-found minions and let's have you return, I need to do some reading and you have training my lord."

"Right." Naruto had the ten reds grabbed the defective Hive and before he could tell them way to go, they started walking to a newly formed portal gate. The Red Hive was sent on upon it and it quickly disappeared, the next to get teleported was the forge the reds had and finally Naruto was transported back to the Minion Cavern.

"Welcome back master, the Red Hive is in the Minion Borrows in the Netherworld, safe and sound so, no need to worry about that. I suggest you get back to training and might I add keep up the 'new justu' I recommend naming them, easier to keep track of. In fact, there's a separate room for you to see how you do your special justu. I have named you telekinesis, the Ragdoll Justu as your opponent becomes your personal rag doll."

"What's a rag-doll?"

"A doll made out of rags, very poor quality and they are often abused but unlike your opponents, easy to put back together."

"Oh ok,...I had a thought..."

"Yes, my lord?"

"Well like the health totem which needed bodies, living bodies does the hive need the same, just one with magic and one with chakra?"

"Hmm that's not a bad idea, but before you do some unnecessary kidnapping, let me console the Big Book O' Evil and confer with the elder minions."

"...alright, I'll be in the training room. I'd go out but I'm pretty sure Kakashi will be trying to give me a lecture...or have me watched."

"He did want to talk to you if I remember correctly, consider it flattery my lord, they are finally recognizing your power."

"I have a question, is there a protection spell over the cavern?"

"There is not."

"Why not? I don't want Kakashi or anyone else finding me here."

"Well for if the putting up such a spell would definitely show a correlation between you and what happened with the small village, which is doing just fine by the way, and as a better answer, you won't be living here once the tower is fully constructed, in fact this will be turned into a secret port for the boat if we cannot find a more suitable place for it. This is merely a hovel my lord, not suitable for someone of your standing and I do understand your worry but it is just unnecessary. Always think ahead my lord."

"...I'll keep that in mind, thanks Gnarl." Naruto said as he walked away, thinking the transactions of his life. Naruto went to the training room, feeling that most of his natural abilities were fine, he trained with temporary enchantments. He used such magic on weapons, mostly for attacking, but he did dabble with using it defensively.

Offensively the weapons, mostly kunai and paper bombs, would chase the target and aim to kill, defensively they, only kunai, would intercept anything that would cause harm to Naruto, going as far as to gather and form a makeshift shield in front of him.

He also briefly trained with the green ability, since he could only use it once, he had clones help him with its pros and cons. With their help, he found that the green was naturally faster than the others but if not attacking from the back, didn't do any extra damage. He had five minutes before the side effects became too extreme, his being that he became a walking zombie. His vitals were solely protected by his armor but, he knew one wrong move and he would be dead.

After he healed himself, and deemed his training over for the day, Naruto went to his private quarters for a rest. The next morning Naruto got up, had breakfast, bathed in the magic as his suit was being adjusted in the cavern's forge. When Naruto came back to the forge, all clean, including the black leather that he usually wore under his armor, he was greeted with a new suit. The new suit was pitch black and opposed to the previous silver, the suit had shoulder spikes and spiked shoes, small ones that pointed upward from the base of the shoes. One shoulder had the symbol of the minions on it, the minion face, but the other one was bare, not having the leaf symbol on it. The new mask was black with orange slash markings where the cheeks would be. Once again there were three prongs at the top of the mask but these were sharper and wider than the previous one. The major difference aside from color was that the masked wrapped around the rest of his head, protecting it almost completely, aside from the few holes for the eyes, ears, mouth, and two small holes for the nose. The headgear also had a latch in the side so Naruto could reveal his face, for whatever reason, without taking off the entire thing,

Naruto was slowly suited in the armor, it was much heavier than the previous, Naruto figured it was created that way deliberately and he had no objections. The only other color the suit had was the jewel in the black Minion Gauntlet, which now had a clear protective covering.

Once fully suited he found it a difficult to move around at first, so he trudged over to the training room to do the basics. Knowing that if he over did it, he could be out for a week or so, Naruto took his training very lightly and mostly focused on just getting use to his new suit.

"Master, the Red Hive, needs both magical and chakra based flames, you are able provide the magic but, some else needs to provide the chakra. The hive itself was rebuilt with the volcanic minerals in the fiery pits of the Netherworld so, all that's left is to activate it and it will be able to create new and improved minions for you to use as you see fit." Gnarl stated though Naruto's new mask.

"I have just the person in mind, Sasuke ...but I have no idea of where he is, Kakashi took him somewhere during the second stage of the Chunin Exams." Naruto said out loud.

"Well when you tore out his blue locks a few stands found themselves in you Gauntlet, we took them out and put it in the worldly portal, all you have to do is go to it and focus on your target, we also did the same with your other teammate."

"I doubt I'll ever need Sakura enough to want to find her, I doubt she's even good life force." Naruto exclaimed as he headed towards the observatory, in the lower level. He went to the observatory; the room was barren except for a large elevated pool and a book case to the side. The pool had a bird's eye view of the Leaf Village.

"Where's Sasuke?" Naruto asked as he stared down at the pool. The water rippled before showing him the hospital, specially a two-storied tower. "Which room?" Naruto pressed and was shown a door with a number of Anbu members, three outside the door and five inside. "Those guys look serious, I'm not sure if I want to mess with them yet, could put me in some hot water.." Naruto said as he thought to himself.

"Probably but, perhaps all you need is a good disguise." Gnarl suggested.

"Yeah you're probably right." Naruto said with a smile before leaving for the hospital. Naruto disguised himself the moment he left the cavern, not wanting the one day everyone sees him an Anbu squad is taken out. Even so Naruto, now as a beautiful blonde female, didn't waste any time on his way to the hospital.

When the curvy blonde entered the hospital, she went over to the receptionist where a young woman was working. The blonde asked the lady where Rock Lee was or if he was even there, calling herself a friend of his. The receptionist told her where to go, feeling somewhat insecure, but also told her to sign in. The young blonde, censored by light clouds, smiled before walking away.

The young blonde quickly made her way to Lee's room, but saw Lee fast asleep in his bed.

"Gnarl?" The young blonde asked as she closed the door behind her.

"Yes, my ample master?"

"Ugh Gnarl, you sound like a creep."

"Forgive me my lord, it is a very convincing justu."

"Yeah that's the point, anyway Lee is apparently a taijutsu master from what I witnessed, skills I wanted. I was thinking of using him as my first blood bath victim but since these hives may need human sacrifices, why not use him for that too? He could be used for the Brown Hive, right?"

"Excellent idea my lord, bring him to the Minion Cavern and the same goes for Sasuke as well."

"Kay. shadow clone jutsu." A second beautiful blonde lady appeared, and grabbed Lee, bursting through the glass window as the original quickly headed to Sasuke's room. A third beauty took Lee's place in the sheets, without a detail misplaced. When the original young lady reached the hallway just intersecting Sasuke's, there were two guards standing by. The young woman, wondered why Sasuke would even need so many guards, it seemed a bit much but, she already came so far. "Yoo-hoo, can one of you strong young men help me, I'm afraid I've lost my way." The guards braced themselves as one of them neared the seemingly helpless female.

"You're not supposed to be here." Guard #1 stated.

"Oh, I know but, I've gotten all turned around you see. I thought I remembered where the room was but, I was wrong." The lady said slowly coming into view, her beauty and apparent innocence dawned into the first guard.

"Oh, uh well then who are you looking for?"

"An old friend, she was badly injured and was sure she was here." The lady said, taking a few steps towards the guard, wrapping her arms around his neck. "You'll help me out, oh won't you?"

"Uhh I uhh I'm not supposed to leave my post."

"Oh, I see, then what about your friend?" The young woman asked looking at the other guard and catching his eye. There was a moment of silence as the two men looked at each other, wanting to help the beautiful young lady but, knowing that they shouldn't. "Will no one help me is it because I'm ugly or something?" The young girl started to cry as she fell to her knees, her hands over her eyes.

"What no? You the most beautiful girl I have ever seen." Guard #1 said trying to console the distraught female, getting on his own knees. The second guard quickly joined with the first and agreed with him.

"I can just ask you nice gentleman a question?"

"Of course, miss."

"How many of you are there?"

"There's ten of us why?"

"Well if you can't help me maybe they can? Where are they?"

"Uhh I probably shouldn't tell you..."

"Oh please, pretty please I really need the help. I fear for my friend, and I'm afraid to go alone, please help me." The woman said pursing her lips and batting her eyes.

"Well there are five in the room down the hall behind us, three are in plain sight but two are hidden, there are also one guarding the door itself and two on the other side of that hallway."

"Thank you kindly, perhaps you could get them maybe? I can wait here but I insist one of you stay here with me so, I don't get lonely."

"I'll watch over her." The second guard said as he held the young lady's hand.

"Oh, what a gentleman." The lady said, as if to be swooned by the acts of the Anbu assassin.

"Like hell you will!" The first guard tackled the second and the two began fighting. The young lady smiled and was about to get up when she noticed three other Anbu members coming her way. When the trio arrived before her, they looked at her than at the two wrestling Anbu members.

"What's going on? Whose-" the third Anbu asked, looking at the two fighting Anbu before getting cut off.

"Oh, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, you see I got lost looking for my friend I didn't mean to cause any trouble." The young lady said, looking away from the trio of Anbu, with guilt in her voice.

"I see, and what happened with you two?" Anbu #3 said to the duo who had stopped fighting. The two were trying to think of answer that wouldn't blame them or the hottie they had come across.

"May I interrupted for just a quick bit I'm looking for room 602, do you have any idea of where that might be?" The lady asked as she stood in front of the third Anbu member, who backed up slightly, almost reaching for his weapon when he truly noticed the curvature and soft skin of hers.

"Uhh...that's not a room in this hospital..."

"Oh, dear me, I'm such a fool, no wonder I got so lost. Thank you. Is there any way I can thank you?" The lady said as she wrapped her arms around the secretly blushing male.

"That's n-not n-necessary miss."

"Oh, but I must, oh I have an idea." The lady smiled cutely before the hallway was filled with clones of her, and the closer ones had their arms around the few men. The five males were overwhelmed and knocked out from the fatal attraction. With them out cold, a horde of the attractive beauties rushed into Sasuke's room and did what they did best. However, two Anbu members fought back, destroying the clones, until all that was left was a small group of five, excluding the original.

Next thing they knew the window broke, and the original had Sasuke in her arms as she dashed away. The clones exploded and the remaining Anbu members followed after her. The gorgeous woman smiled as she looked back at the two Anbu, before creating ten clones each holding their own Sasuke. At first, the group stopped and ran at the Anbu but, then just before contact they all spread out, none of them heading the direction the original previously was.

The real one, who had ducked into an alley way, changed her form back to Naruto and Sasuke's, into a sword. Naruto saw the Anbu chase the fakes, he wondered why they were not effective by his jutsu, he figured that they had to be women. He headed back to the Minion Cavern, with thoughts of a new sexy jutsu, so he won't have to waste precious chakra again.

When Naruto made it back Sasuke was put in a daily decent bed room, in the same room as Lee.

"Great we have them, but don't they need to be awake for this?" Naruto asked.

"Not for the blood bath sire, just merely alive. Now, I know you expressed interest in Lee's physical prowess and wanting it for yourself, but I believe that the first victim should be Sasuke."

"Why?" Naruto said a bit angrily.

"The sharingan, my lord from what I overheard it is quite useful."

"Not you too, I thought you were the one person that thought I was better than that miserable talentless fool!"

"I do my lord, I just think it would be a worthwhile opportunity to steal the one thing that makes him special."

"...I guess you have a point, if I have the sharingan people might start thinking that I'm special too..."

"Shall I prepare the bath my lord?"

"Yeah, though I thought you were against me doing it so soon?"

"I was against you being impatient, remember you will be in there for the remainder of the day and then some."

"Right...and I'll have nothing to do during that entire time?"

"You will be focusing my lord, like with the unicorn horns you corrupted, I believe it will be a lot like that. Just focus on all the traits and powers you want from him. And those traits can be whatever you want but you must take the sharingan, the mark on his neck as it gave him great power so it should do the same for you and lastly, why don't you take his jutsus? That will be everything that he has that you don't. Now, if you will excuse me, preparations are in order, I suggest you get some rest." With Naruto took Gnarl's suggestions as walked out of the room, going to his private quarters for a quick nap.

Later, Naruto was awoken by a minion, who then guided him to the Netherworld portal and then to the enchanted bathtub. Naruto at least knew he wasn't going to be cold, the bathtub was on a large black stone platform, with streams of lava pouring down into a lower, unseen area. The area itself was very warm but not incredibly hot, not even slightly uncomfortable.

Inside the bathtub were purple flowers and just above the tub was a black pot, attached the ceiling, oozing a light mist that fell upon the tub; along the edges of the tub were lit black candles that flared as Naruto approached them.

"What's with all this?" Naruto asked looking around.

"The necessities my lord, the incense above will help maintain a level head as well as slow down time for you. The flowers are there to bring out the powers contained in the blood, they provide the magic. They give life to the blood which is also what makes it incredibly dangerous, as it will be fighting back. Now, the candles are for you, when they burn bright like they are now, then you are safe but should they shrink it means you're in danger and should put everything you have into focusing. They will also tell you when you can get out, if there is now wax left then you may get out."

"Ok I can get that but why would I want time to move slower?"

"It'll only move slowly for you, and it's so you're not overwhelmed by this, even experts do this, mostly so it doesn't feel like the full or te-eight hours. For example, an hour to you might be two or three in reality."

"Don't you guys have a clock or something to let me know when it's time to get out?"

"Uh no we don't have those but, it wouldn't do any good in this particular situation, the magic candles have that job, large candles take more time to burn out."

"Okay, have you had all this stuff the entire time?"

"Not the flowers, they do not and cannot live in the Netherworld, they are from our land, and with you adding some discourse and mayhem into that land, they have been easy to obtain. Are you ready?"

"So, uh where's Sasuke?" No sooner did Naruto finish his question did a four-man group of minions walk towards him carrying Sasuke. The former hospital patient was put over the edge of the tub, so his upper body was dangling inside it. "Okay so we gonna cut off his head or some-" before Naruto could finish his sentence, Sasuke started violently vomiting up blood into the tub. "Well that's gross but whatever works, I guess. What'd you do to him?" Naruto asked as he waited for the tub to full up with blood.

"Just a little potion my lord, while it's in his system he will vomit up all his blood, this is the most effective way to do this."

"Ew, so have anything on where the other hives are?"

"No, my lord, afraid not and neither do any of the reds. Still, we are very fortunate to have found the Red Hive, but now, I suppose we'll have to start from scratch. It won't be too bad, they change form with each overlord anyway. All we need are the remaining minion elements from both this land and our former land."

"Browns are earth, right? Blues are water and Greens are uh poison?" Naruto said before he noticed red life force falling from Sasuke, which the minions grabbed and gave to him.

"Correct my lord." Gnarl said as he watched Naruto revive Sasuke, who had mostly filled the tub. "For browns, we would need something of the earth, for blues we would need something of the water and for greens we need something extremely poisonous, in my judgment the Forest of Death would be perfect for gathering buildings materials for the Green Hive. I believe that is enough my lord, minions give him the antidote." Gnarl said and one of the minions stabbed a needle into Sasuke's hindquarters. In a few moments, the flow of blood slowed before completely stopping. "Can you heal him my lord, his insides are nothing more than blood stew."

"Not until he officially dies."

"You heard your master, kill the boy and make it fast." Gnarl snapped at the minions, who did just that by beating him. When Sasuke's was good and dead, Naruto revived him and was given his life force. After that the still mostly bald boy was carried away, back to the dungeon. "I'll leave you to undress, after which I shall be nearby keeping an eye on you, make sure you don't die prematurely." Gnarl said as he walked out of the room, Naruto not wasting the moment to get undressed. Naruto looked into the blood-filled tub, it didn't look like much but, he knew better than to drop his guard. He carefully got into the tub. Once he was fully inside, with the blood level coming up to his neck, he felt the effects of the incense.

He blinked several times, his body feeling strange and his vision getting blurry. He sunk deeper into the tub, until it was just below his nose. It was not at all what he had imagined but, then he remembered what Gnarl told him, so he focused his mind on the few abilities of Sasuke's that he wanted. He wanted the sharingan, his fire style and the gift Orochimaru gave to him, Sasuke didn't deserve it. It was hard to tell if it was working or not but, Naruto kept repeating those desired things in his mind. Naruto found himself falling asleep and he fought it at first but, it wasn't long before his eyes were closed and he was in a different state of mind.

Naruto's head darted up as he opened his eyes, he was in a dark area. Soon lights appeared, large flames that floated in the area, acting as a perimeter. Something behind him caught his eye, so Naruto turned around and saw a large portrait of himself, it was just outside the circle of flames. The Naruto in the portrait was in his armor but not in his leather undergarment nor was in wear his mask. The Naruto in the portrait had pitch black eyes, his hands at his sides, and a pitch-black outline. He appeared to be ungrounded but, it was hard to tell, the background was barely defined.

Naruto found it very strange especially since he was still completely naked but then something and someone else demanded his attention.

He turned around to see Sasuke, who was also naked, and a portrait of Sasuke; both of them had all their hair back. The distant portrait was of a fully clothed Sasuke but he was facing the left, so only half of his body was visible. He had the sharingan activated, making his eyes a bright red, the curse mark was activated throughout his body, which was a glowing purple, and the last obvious thing was that he was using a fire jutsu, which was bright orange. Both tower sized portraits, the one of Naruto and the one of Sasuke, were hovering in the air across from each other.

Naruto then turned his attention to the Sasuke in front of him, his head was hanging down, he looked like he was fast asleep. Naruto approached the paler male very cautiously, not knowing what to expect.

"You're jealous of me aren't you Naruto?" Sasuke said with a superior tone, still having his head down.

"Jealous? No, I'm not jealous of you, I just don't see why you're so important." Naruto growled out.

"It's obvious, it's because unless like you, I matter. You're just a pathetic orphan with no one who cares about you and nothing to your name, no family, no friends, no reason to existence."

"Shut up! I've had enough of your know it all attitude!" Naruto said before he tackled Sasuke to the ground, but a second later he was forced off. Naruto tumbled along the ground trying to regain his balance and when he did he glared at Sasuke. Now Sasuke all most matched the Sasuke in the portrait, with his sharingan activated and the curse mark covering his body.

Naruto got to his feet, more than ready for a fight but also thinking about the fight he had with Sasuke awhile back. He was aware that Sasuke was probably faster than him and possibly even stronger.

'This won't be an easy fight.' Naruto thought to himself, reading himself. He ran at Sasuke, who dodged them each and every attack effortlessly. Sasuke was smirking at him while he evaded all the punches thrown his way. His cockiness only made Naruto angrier but he knew he wasn't getting anywhere with his current fighting style. Naruto jumped away from Sasuke, thinking it was better to have numbers on his side, though unsure if he could even use his jutsu or magic.

Naruto tried anyway, putting his hands together with both index and middle finger up and summoned four shadow clones. However, as did he, so did Sasuke but he had eight clones.

"You're pitiful Naruto, you have no skills and all you do you is rush into a fight with no course of action. You're just a big baby, who'll though a tantrum if he doesn't get his way, and you wonder why no one ever wants to be around you. That's all you can do isn't Naruto? Just complain and flail angrily." Sasuke said as his clones rushed Naruto's, easily beating them, then turned their sights on the original.

"That's not true-!" Naruto said as he tried to dodge the mass of clones but they were too fast for him.

"You blame the world for your own failures, yet you fail to see; that, that's all you'll ever be, a failure." The Sasuke clones and the original Sasuke stated, while the clones ganged up on Naruto. They punched and kicked him, keeping him the tight circle they had formed around him. Naruto could barely think before he was struck again and forced into another clone, who just strike him like all the others. "Face it Naruto, you'll never be as good as me, you'll never be anything worth anyone time, and the only reason you have those demons is because they prey upon weak souls, and yours, yours is the weakest most pathetic soul there is."

Naruto was eventually allowed to collapse on the floor, face down and bleeding from his countless injuries. His body was broken, his mind unable to even come up with a counter statement, all he could do was lay there and listen to Sasuke's words. "I was sought out for my natural gifts, you were sought out because you were an easy target, a nobody with nothing, all alone. You have no power, no skills, no decent jutsu so, they had to help you make you feel special when it was actually just a reminder that you are nothing. Of course, no surprise that you're too stupid to understand that. Give up Naruto, you can't win and you never will be Hokage."

"H-hokage... I d-don't want to be hokage..." Naruto choked out as he struggled to get up. "I wi-...I will be the overlord...an unstoppable force...an unrivaled warrior..." Naruto said as he got to his feet his bruised body shaking from the pain.

"You really think that, you fool, you'll never be anything remotely close to that, you're just some weak, pathetic, poor excuse for a ninja." The Sasukes stated as they began beating Naruto again and this time when they finally stopped, he did fall, instead he called upon the Nine Tails' chakra and destroyed all the clones with a burst of chakra. The original Sasuke, was a ways away, spectating. "The demon's power, even now you're nothing without it."

"No, not the demon's gift, it's mine and this is why I was chosen, why I was picked over you! I have powers far beyond anything you could imagine! I...I didn't take you as seriously as I could have in our fight during the second Chunin Exams, I was holding back." Naruto said with calm strength as the chakra around him healed his wounds. "This is just the first stage and it's all I need to beat you and kill you!"

Naruto raced through the dark room, out matching Sasuke in speed, he landed a punch that sent Sasuke flying through the air. Naruto kept up the pressure, not letting Sasuke fully regain his footing, he clawed, kicked and blasted him with his chakra covered body. As Sasuke laid on the ground, not appearing to have a single wound, Naruto approached him, walking on all fours.

Sasuke got up and blocked Naruto's next attack, surprising the chakra enhanced overlord. Sasuke was still sent tumbling backwards but, that action had Naruto surprised. The overlord was now pondering how it was possible that Sasuke could ever comprehend his vastly increased speed. He stared at Sasuke, who was getting to his feet once more. He watched the lad, glaring into his red eyes. Then, then and there, it finally dawned on him that those eyes, the sharingan, never left him. Sasuke's eyes were the fastest part of him and now, since enough time has passed, Sasuke must have finally caught up with him, well least for now enough to block and possibly dodge his attacks.

Naruto narrowed his own eyes, he couldn't let this drag on for much longer, he had to take out those eyes. Naruto attacked Sasuke again, who once again blocked the attack. This time, Naruto jumped on the fallen Uchiha, driving his knees into the boy's stomach. Naruto pinned Sasuke's hands above his head with one hand. Naruto raised his other hand and brought it down upon Sasuke. However, he stopped as he noticed his portrait, the eyes were shining a white light.

Naruto opened his closed fingers and instead of destroying Sasuke's eyes, he gauged them out, one by one. Naruto jumped off of Sasuke, holding both sharingan in his hand then ran over to his enormous portrait, putting those eyes where his eyes where. He turned around to see the eyeless Sasuke running at him, probably trying to stop him but it was too late. Naruto chuckled until he saw Sasuke jump at the painting, realizing that they could be taken from the pairing, Naruto acted fast. With superior speed, Naruto knocked Sasuke down, sending him plummeting into the ground.

A dust cloud formed upon Sasuke's impact, and Naruto took the time to reflect what he knew about this bizarre world. He looked at flames as he descended, they had diminished in size by a noticeable chunk but the light they cast was still strong as when he first saw them, if not more. He remembered what Gnarl said, about the brightness reflecting his well-being but, now he figured that the size was reflecting how much time he had left in this world.

The portraits, were odd, until he figured that it reflected what he had and what he wanted, he had everything he normally did, aside from his armor which he voluntarily took off. Sasuke's hair was just recently taken from him, and even so it wasn't part of his DNA. More importantly, the things he wanted from Sasuke, the sharingan, the strange markings, and his jutsus, they were all much more vibrant than the rest of the picture. At first, he just waved it off, but now he understood that those are the things he wanted and must take from Sasuke then give to himself.

Naruto landed within a few feet of where Sasuke was, now the things on his mind was how. How he would steal the things he desired. He figured he didn't have much time left so he focused on one thing at a time. The curse mark, how Sasuke got it; Orochimaru bit his shoulder. Shortly after that happened, pain raced through Sasuke's shoulder until he passed out, but when he woke up it spread from his shoulder over the rest of his body. The re-occurring word, was all Naruto needed so he raced toward Sasuke.

Naruto jumped on Sasuke, wrapping his legs around him and holding his head so his neck, and curse mark, was fully exposed. Naruto sunk his teeth into the boy, marking sure that he had the curse mark within his maw. Naruto tore that piece of flesh off of Sasuke before kicking him into the ground. Naruto ran to the painting then up it, to the glowing part. Naruto knew that Sasuke had jumped after him, so he used his chakra tail to force him into the ground. Naruto placed the curse marked flesh where the painted Naruto's shoulder was, before thinking about the last thing he wanted.

Jutsu, the last thing he needed and Naruto knew that hand signals where the key. He looked at the flames to see that they were definitely smaller than before yet burned bright. He stayed where he was, only turning around to watch the eyeless plain Sasuke, looking up at him. Naruto's tail once again attacked the boy, who was powerless to stop it. Sasuke's wrists were bound and he was brought to Naruto's face. With a quick and powerful claw, Naruto severed the arms of the boy. As Sasuke fell, Naruto twisted the arms until they popped off. With just the hands in his tail's grasp Naruto went to the portrait's hands, matching both of them with the hands. With nothing left to do, Naruto eyed the flames as they slowly shrunk.

Since he was still there, Naruto figured that he now just had to guard the objects he stole until the time was up. It was easy enough thing to do, Sasuke no longer posed any sort of a threat. He glanced at Sasuke's portrait to see the once vibrant colors start to fade, he glanced at the flames to see them as almost completely gone. And finally, he observed his own, the various body parts he placed were starting to sink into the portrait. Wanting to watch from afar, Naruto had his chakra tail going through Sasuke's left thigh breaking the femur then dart to the other thigh bone, breaking that one as well.

Naruto then pounced on Sasuke, sitting on him and watching the objects be integrated into the portrait, first were the eyes, which became permanent and glowed a bright red. Next, was the curse mark, which upon its absorption, sent jagged lines throughout the painting's body, which could be seen through the glimpses of flesh. Lastly, were the hands, upon their joining, the portrait's own hands changed to make the Tiger hand signal, and an inferno appeared behind him.

Naruto's eyes opened, he was back in the tub with nose just above the blood line. He felt exhausted, he glanced to the side to see only the waxy remains of the black candles, he glanced down at the blood bath itself to see the once purple flowers had lost their color and he glanced upward to see the black pot, unsure if it was still doing its thing or not. Naruto sat up, groaning as he did so. He turned his head and heard the door open.

He knew he wanted a real bath to wash off the blood but, he didn't think he would be awake for it so he just stayed where he was. With his head resting on the round edge of the tub and his arms at his side, his eyes closed once again.

Naruto awoke, feeling different yet still the same. He was in his bed, in his private quarters. He was unsure if he had been successful, though being alive was a hunch to answer yes. He got up and got dressed, noticing that there wasn't a trace of blood on his body. Naruto assumed he was cleaned before being put into his bed. Once in his leather, he closed the wardrobe and noticed his black iron suit floating to the side.

It but all took a single touch for the armor to appear on Naruto's body. The instant it did Naruto fell to the ground, having not worn it for some time, he had forgotten about its extra weight. Naruto struggled to picked himself off of the ground for some time before managing it. Once up he slowly walked to the staircase leading down to the main level. Once there he found Gnarl, who greeted him and congratulated him on his triumph.

"Thanks Gnarl, it was different than what I thought it would be."

"Oh, and what was it?

"I was more like a fight in a dark area where I had to actually take the traits from him, and then there were these portraits. And Sasuke was all healed and stronger than usual so, it was hard at first and I almost gave up since he was playing mind games but, I used the power I kept hidden and easily destroyed him." Naruto boasted.

"Hmm I see how interesting, well I expected nothing less from you my lord, now you should have his abilities, so I suggest you get familiar with them quickly."

"What's the rush?"

"The final part of the Chunin Exams is in just fourteen days my lord, you were asleep for some time. Speaking of which so are our guests, they are currently heavily restrained but, I believe a magical hand could help them forget this whole mess. As well as coax the Uchiha into aiding our cause which is activating the Red Hive my lord."

"Ok so first the mind control then training, got it. Wait, where are they?"

"The Netherworld, my lord."

"... okay." Naruto said as he headed down to the Netherworld portal, upon arrival in the throne room, he saw Gnarl by the throne. "How'd...you...but..."

"Don't doddle my lord you have evil deeds to do."

"Right..." Naruto said, puzzled on how Gnarl got there faster than he did but leaving the question unvoiced. Naruto was walked down to the chambers where the 'guests' where. The two were shackled to a bed, covered with chains.

"Naruto? What's going on? Get me out of here!" Sasuke said in anger struggling against the chains.

"I've heard that one is quite feisty my lord, they had to knock him out a number of times." Gnarl exclaimed, as the evil duo approaches the helpless Uchiha.

"I'm not surprised, I think he's in his top form, oh well first things first." Naruto said as he extended his hand over Sasuke's head.

"What are you doing Naruto?" Sasuke's worried voice was met with merciless silence before electrical streams rained down from Naruto's hand. Sasuke went absolutely still, though sounds of his discomfort and struggling could be heard. Naruto stopped, pulling his hand back, and waited. The wait wasn't long, soon Sasuke hailed the Overlord and soon he was freed from his chains. Sasuke got up and stood in front of Naruto, his head lowered and his body swaying side to side.

Before leaving, Naruto used the Evil Presence Spell on Lee, who then stated his loyalty to him. Lee stayed bound as the other three males left. Naruto and co. went to the Red Hive, Gnarl informing the slow lord that those under his control will naturally follow him if not given a command and are able to. Naruto, who was wondering why Sasuke suddenly followed them and was now currently behind him taking small steps, was glad to have an explanation for such behavior. When the trio reached the Red Hive, Gnarl told the overlord what must happen.

"In order for it to be fully activated and adjust to chakra, it must be consumed by the intense flames of both magic and chakra at the same time. I believe that jutsu, Sasuke used against that Orochimaru fellow will suffice, and your fireballs will be enough as well, just keep it up until Sasuke's jutsu stops." Gnarl said before he walked to the side, not wanting to be caught in any cross fire.

"Got it, alright Sasuke, remember that jutsu you used against Orochimaru?" Naruto asked as he face the mind controlled boy.

"Yes, it was my Dragon Flame jutsu." Sasuke stated.

"I need you to do it now and against that hive over there, give it everything you got. Got it?"

"Yes, my lord." Sasuke said as he set out to do just that. As Sasuke quickly formed the hand signs, Naruto watched, stating each one in his mind and in order. Naruto turned his attention to the hive a few inches away with lava in the back ground. He activated the blue ability and a large fireball appeared in his hands. The moment Sasuke used his dragon flame justu, Naruto barraged the hive with his own flames, one right after another. Normally it would have been no problem but, with the heavier suit, it didn't take long for his arms to get tired. Naruto tried to push through it then he tried alternating, and letting one arm rest but it wasn't working.

He spotted a red, observing them. He demanded the red to come over to him. The red did so and Naruto snapped its neck, the gem in his Minion Gauntlet turned red and Naruto was filled with energy. Feeling completely rejuvenated, Naruto unleashed a barrage of fireballs with unparalleled speed. Even when Sasuke's jutsu stopped, Naruto's arms kept going, though luckily, he had just ran out of mana at the time. The Red Minion Hive glowed brightly and changed its form into something that mimic a coiled, four headed, dragon, with glowing open mouths. Each dragon head faced a different direction, one east, one south, one west, and one north. On top of the renewed five-foot-tall hive was a hole that glowed like the other four openings.

Naruto forced himself to stop moving but even so, his body was violently shaking. He felt as if he had the strongest sugar rush in his entire life. It would have been better if he knew the reason to his own glow. His body, armor and all, gave off an orange glow. Not wanting the unexpected to happen, Naruto ended the red ability, his body immediately went back to what it was and he noticed how sore he was. Though he was always aware of the pain in his body, he had too much energy to care at the moment.

"Congrats master, you have fixed the hive, summon new reds my lord, I'm curious to see what they will be." Gnarl said, approaching his overlord. Naruto nodded and with the Minion Gauntlet, called upon new minions. Out of the Red Hive, three new reds leapt, already joyed to be serving their lord. The new reds looked very similar to the current reds, they had red skin, curved black goat horns at the side of their head, three toes, a tail and small spikes throughout their body. However, these new reds were a full foot taller than the others, had a bulkier build to them as well as five fingers, had more pronounced lips, also had puffier cheeks and larger stomachs, both capable of storing larger amounts of fire in them than the previous model.

"Alright show me what you can guys can do." Naruto demanded with curiosity. At first the hybrid reds did what typical reds did, throw fire balls, but then they made hand signs. These reds were able to create a lasting ball of fire and with different hand signs were able to launch a barrage of fire projectiles. The next and final tricked they performed was creating a short stream of flame that ran along the ground that wrapped around the few remaining reds in a wall of fire. With the same hand signs, they also made a wheel of fire that were hurled at the last pure reds. The reds were hit by the flame, unable to absorb it as it was actually super-heated chakra instead of actual fire.

To prove their superiority, the newly created reds turned to the red, Naruto had just resurrected and encouraged it to attack the larger hybrids. Naruto motioned for the pure red to go on so the red acted without a second thought. When a fire ball was thrown their way, it was instantly absorbed. The hybrids finished off the last pure red by spewing fire from their mouths.

"Impressive not only can they create fire but they can bend it in ways that regular reds never could." Gnarl said as he observed them even more carefully than Naruto, who was too focused on his new minions to respond.

Once all the reds in the small area were vanquished, Naruto expressed his pride in the new reds but, demanded them not to turn on the minion master, Gnarl. Gnarl appreciated the gesture, but told his master that it wasn't necessary.

Naruto was just starting to walk away, Gnarl told him that more minions would be needed to carry the hive to where it properly belongs. Hearing that, Naruto summon five more hybrid red minions and the eight hybrid reds carried the hive off to their spot in the Minion Burrows. Naruto was then told to deal with Sasuke, erase his memory, then send him on his way if he didn't want to kill him once and for all.

Naruto agreed but, first decided to have a training session with his temporary slave. His training was on fire style, having never actually used hand signs before he found it difficult, especially with his current suit. Naruto trained with Sasuke until the evening, not just on accurately wielding hand signs but, on executing the jutsu he had obtained as well, learning their limits and how much chakra they ate up. Naruto was about to call it a day when Sasuke asked him if he wanted to know the in's and outs of his sharingan.

Fighting his exhaustion and soreness, Naruto pressed on. Sasuke was a better sparring partner than a minion as he was unafraid to hit the overlord, though would never do anything that would actually end up greatly hurting him. Naruto called it quits at night, his body was too worn out to continue any further. Sasuke was told to enter a deep sleep, which he did, and Naruto went back to his private room. He trudged up the staircase and collapsed on his bed, breaking its support legs so the bed hit the cavern floor. Naruto just swore and fell asleep.

The following morning, Naruto did some more training with Sasuke, first on justu then on the sharingan and eventually on the curse mark. Sasuke didn't know all that much about the curse mark but, he informed his master the best he could. Sasuke told him that it would cause him pain and it fed off of his chakra, even to the point of trying to take him over.

Naruto took in all the information given to him but, practiced with it anyway. He wanted to understand it for himself, control it and bend it to his will if he could. Naruto focused on the curse mark, calling it forth with his chakra and soon enough he could feel its presence spread. Though unseen, jagged black lines spread across his body, he stopped it several times and maintained it for full minutes before letting it spread any further, to make sure he could control it. With the curse mark, he had enhanced abilities like with his brown ability, but this also included justu power. However, it excluded pain tolerance that the brown ability provided.

Naruto could make himself just a little faster than he would be with brown ability but, he felt power was lacking since he wasn't unrestrained, with the brown he could throw caution to the wind allowing the full force of his increased power to be used but, now since he still feels pain, he can't his body won't let him.

Despite preferring to use the brown ability, he knew he could use both enhancements at the same time. Naruto trained with Sasuke for one more day, learning all his justu, including the Lion's Barrage, with the help of his sharingan quickly studied Sasuke's fighting style.

After the third day, Naruto had Sasuke fall into a deep sleep, telling to forget everything that has happened since he woke up in the Netherworld and to not wake up until he has completely forgotten everything about the minions, about him being overlord, the training they did, the Netherworld and Minion Cavern. After that Naruto told the sleeping Sasuke that when he wakes up to return to how he normally would be, the balder boy merely nodded.

Naruto then transformed himself into a stunning vixen and carried Sasuke out off of the Minion Cavern. It was a star filled yet partially cloudy night. The blonde beauty had Sasuke over her shoulder, wasted no time in speeding through the forest, leaping from branch to branch until she entered the Village Hidden in the Leaves. She returned to the scene of the crime, the hospital, in fact she was on the roof looking at the pillar with a broken window. The window she had jumped though a little over a week ago, still wasn't fixed instead having wooden boards cover it.

A part of her told her to find a different place, that part was playing it cautiously and paranoid, another part of her told her to tossed him through the boarded window, that part was playing it recklessly and prideful. The walking knockout activated her brown enchantment and threw Sasuke through the boarded-up window, she had no reason to play it safe. There was clatter and obvious sounds of Sasuke's body colliding into several objects.

The incredibly sexy female started to turn around when she was contacted by the minion master.

"Why not just kill him my lord? Save yourself the hassle and all the running around?"

"If Sasuke dies mysteriously who do you think they'll point the finger at? Me. And I can't have that just yet."

"I see your point. Say my lord, perhaps before you return, we put that form of yours to good use." Gnarl suggested, only earning his master's suspicion.

"And what do you mean by that?" The allure lady said with pouting lips.

"That a pretty face especially one as pretty and as well-crafted as yours can open many doors. You make men weak in the knees with such a jutsu, I'm sure you maybe also be able to get some information out of the more knowledgeable men."

"Hmm, you may have a point, however I don't even know where to start." The fem-fatale said, starting to think to herself.

"Well you should probably think of an alias to call yourself."

"Ohh uh, hm I guess uh I'll go with Noemi, if it ever comes up." Noemi said as she kept off of the hospital roof. "Not that it will I mean how often will I really be using this? But whatever it you find someone who could be of use to me I'll see what I can do."

"Hmm, master while you're in disguised, I think it's time for another stealth mission."

"I'm all ears." Noemi said as she stopped upon a nearby roof.

"I want you, to go to the library and steal any useful information, minions have not dared to go to it as it is typically too dangerous to sneak in and out of, even for Stench."

"I've never been in the library...I've known about it but I'll be damned if I've actually been inside." Noemi said as she raced towards the public library. When she got there, she found that it was closed for the night. As she pondered for a bit before using magic to open the doors, she walked inside and, using a fireball for light, looked around. In order to make things go by faster she created a mass of clones that also searched the place for potentially useful documents. Before the night was done, though not every scroll was taken, there were noticeable gaps throughout the library, several were historical, a few where about the clans of the Leaf Village itself but, those weren't all.

When she left, Noemi used magic to re-lock the doors before heading back to the Minion Cavern. On her way, she received tips from Gnarl, exclusively about her looks. Gnarl told her that her body is like

treasure, wonderful and glorious but since it's all on display it's not as interesting as a treasure chest, where you have no idea of what the actual treasure is. The pig tailed blonde thought about it and agreed, but informed her advisor that it would take time to find the perfect attire.

When Noemi returned to the cavern she turned back into Naruto, who was informed that it was nine days until the Chunin Exams final stage would be held.

"Master I have a question that I have been mulling over."

"What is it Gnarl?" Naruto asked as he looked down at the Minion master.

"When you crushed the red's neck some time ago, did you act upon the Gauntlet's call or your own?"

"...huh. I never even gave that a second thought, I did it."

"I see well then why don't you crush the neck of one of the stronger reds? If it is actually up to you. I believe that the stronger the better, don't you agree?"

"Yeah, so where are they or at least one of them?"

"The closest one is in the cavern's forging area."

Upon hearing that, Naruto went down to the cavern's forge and found a hybrid red bathing the molten magma.

"Hey red, need you for something." Naruto said and the hybrid red jumped out of molten materials and went over to his overlord. Naruto grabbed the hybrid red, squeezing its neck with the Minion Gauntlet and when it eventually died dark red essence seeped into the gem, turning it into a bright red color. Two cracks appeared on either side of the gem, they spread and branched out through the Minion Gauntlet. The gauntlet itself, was warm to the touch as the dark red gem emitted its power.

Naruto, like before found himself with boundless energy but when Gnarl confirmed his internal thoughts, that this wasn't normal, Naruto ended the ability. The gem changed to yellow, and the cracks ceased their expansion, though were still noticeable. Per Gnarl's request, Naruto took off his suit so, there could be an examination of the armor of its new-found limits. Just before Naruto took off the Minion Gauntlet, he tried to resurrect the hybrid red with the blue ability but it didn't work, as the normal blue wasn't strong enough.

The next day, Naruto woke up in his private quarters in his leather under clothes. Naruto's went down and had breakfast, before going to Gnarl, who was in the main hall.

"Morning master, did you sleep well?" Gnarl asked as his master approached him.

"Yeah, I guess, how's the suit?"

"We need a special metal to blend with our own so you can properly use the new red ability otherwise, you'll have to reframe from using it as it would end up destroying your suit including the gauntlet, which helps you channel your impressive powers and control minions."

"Yeah ok...hmm well maybe uhh, I'm not sure what will suffice."

"I'm not either, perhaps you should mediate and ask the Cavernheart, it's been awhile since you've done that, hasn't it?"

"Yeah.." Naruto said as he walked over to the Cavernheart and held out his hand, almost touching it. He calmed his mind and mentally posed the desired question.

Just a few seconds later, Naruto had a vision, of the Executioner's Blade. It was superheated by a hybrid red then broken by Grubby, who had severed most of the blade from the handle. The next thing Naruto saw was him, holding the seemingly useless former blade, stab someone. Naruto pulled out the blood-soaked handle to see that part of the sword had regenerated, he hacked away at the person in front of him and his sword began to grow back.

That was all Naruto was shown, it wasn't a long vision so it didn't take that much out of him. Naruto told Gnarl what he saw and Gnarl had the Executioner's Blade sent to Grubby soon after. Naruto decided to trained as he waited for his suit to be fixed. He worked on his speed and evasion, with a group of shadow clones attacking him. During this training, he used his sharingan so he could get better acquainted with it, more so than he already was. The clones did the same and during this training, Naruto was made aware that he couldn't use any of his minion abilities but he could still use magic, though it was more work.

During his training, Gnarl requested his assistance in making the scrolls he stole actually readable. Naruto found him to the scroll room and with silence, concentration, and magic, turned the documents into simple English. Before Naruto went back to training, Gnarl informed him of the silver colored life force from the sounds genin, and how there is nothing close to sound type minions.

"Well can new minions be created? Like a whole new species?" Naruto asked Gnarl as they headed out to the main floor.

"It's been eons since the four minions tribe were all but one, which if I remember this correctly it was browns, they were the first. Or was it blues?"

"Well if you don't remember that, do you remember how each tribe was created?"

"Oh yes a powerful and creative Overlord, like yourself, merged minions with the three elements at his disposal: fire, water, and poison."

"Okay so I'm guessing I'm to start with browns and so how do I merge elements with minions?"

"I'll have to consort the Big Book O' Evil further. Why don't you go back to training my lord? It will still be a while before your suit is ready." Gnarl said as he stood by the Cavernheart.

"Okay." Naruto said as he went back to the training room.

Later that night, Naruto got his suit back and it looked the same as it did before, pitch black, but had a shine to it as it was recently polished. Naruto was fitted in the suit, a little heavier than before due to the extra metal. Naruto was handed his sword, which was just a handle and bits of metal.

"The sword came in good use and a few sacrifices had to be made-" Gnarl stated as he stood by his master.

"What do you mean?"

"-but now your suit should accommodate the new power though. You also might want to go on a small killing spree my lord if only to restore your once glorious sword." Gnarl suggested as he looked at the stump of a sword.

"Hmm, fine. I'll be going to your world then, I can kill whoever I want there."

Naruto went to the more magical world and went to a Golden heavy village. Naruto attacked the people, letting their blood restore his only sword. One by one he slaughtered the joyful people of the large town, before he would stab his unsuspecting victims over and over until they collapsed but as his sword grew he began slashing them, as it was all it took.

Soon enough, the Executioner's Blade was fully formed, and there was still a large number of potential victims remaining. Per Gnarl's request, he searched for and found the Unicorn Horn, then corrupted it. The large town changed, what was once pretty and clean became rotten and grotesque.

Naruto started for some time, getting use to his suit once again and using his favorite sword. To his surprise, he ran into a few knights of the Shining Justice, each with their own platoon of men. Naruto however, found this to be a great chance to test out his new ability. The gem turned a dark red and this time the suit stayed intact.

Naruto was filled with energy, his own body trembled in a poor excuse to expel the extra energy. As the Shining Justice charged toward him, Naruto created a fireball, it was only the size of his palm but it radiated great heat. Naruto tossed it at the approaching horde and was amazed by a geyser of flames, which cremated them. Only ash was left of the men and their horses, the attack also sent cinders in the air which fell on several houses. It didn't take long before houses were ablaze and the people hiding in them ran out.

Naruto smiled while he flung the rice ball sized balls of flame all around the town. He leapt from building to building however when he fell through the roof, he was holding a fireball in his hands. He hit the second floor and the ball flew out of his hand. The next thing he knew he was engulfed in flames, however he wasn't in pain, he hardly felt a change in temperature. As the geyser died down, Naruto created a fireball then dropped it on the ground beneath him. Scorching flames consumed his being but, he barely felt a thing, not even his armor was heating up.

"This is awesome so fire can't damage me." Naruto smiled to himself.

"Yes, however that goes for all reds my lord, they can also absorb fire as well. Why don't you try that? And try to see how much you can absorb at once."

Naruto nodded and held out his hands, soon enough the blazing inferno was absorbed. Naruto looked at the rampant fire scorching the few remaining building and held his hands, absorbing all of them within a few short moments. Naruto let out a sigh of accomplishment before burning the last of the buildings to the ground. Naruto also practiced his fire style justu, finding it unsurprising that they were much more powerful than they usually are.

Naruto smiled, unaware of how brightly he was glowing. He took a single step and then exploded, leaving his battered body in a crater.

Naruto slowly picked himself up. Feeling completely drained, Naruto began climbing out of the crater around him.

"Master are you alright?"

"I fucking exploded." Naruto growled out as he finally got to his feet.

"Indeed, yet you have survived, impressive."

"Why did I explode?" Naruto groaned.

"I'm not quite sure perhaps it was a buildup of sorts. You did just absorb a large amount of flames my lord."

"Well maybe if I do it again I'll get all my energy back."

"Perhaps you should rest my lord, you don't want to overdo it again. You remember last time, don't you?"

"Yeah but don't worry, I just want to get a hang of this before the Chunin Exams I only have a few days left." Naruto said as he tried to re-activate his hybrid red ability. To his surprise nothing happened. "What the hell? Did it break again? No, it looks intact."

"Master, Grubby had killed your new red in order to restore your sword, which he then had to break again to add its metal to your suit. I was going to tell you after your training but now seems like a good enough time."

"Ugh, fine. I'll just have to make a new one then... where's the closest portal back?"

"I believe there will be one appearing soon. And I must say you certainly are taking this better than I thought..."

"I'm too drained to be mad right now." Naruto said as looked around, walking out of the crater. "Though I am more than unhappy, Gnarl."

"Of course, master. Return to cavern for a rest then you can make another red, I do have something to show you once you do."

"Fine." Naruto said as he then saw the portal gate, he walked over to it and got on top of it. He appeared back in the Minion Cavern, he walked up to the private quarters for a quick rest.

When Naruto woke up he went to the Netherworld, created two new hybrid reds, having a total of ten then met up with Gnarl as the advisor was eager to show him something.

Gnarl took Naruto down to the third level, which was wide and was divided into two categories, both with its own banner. Magic, which had a blue banner with white letters and was to the left. Jutsu, which had and orange banner with black letters and was to the right.

The young overlord and his old minion, stood in the door way, the wall across them was separated in two. The left side had a long blue sign with the word Spell in white, Jutsu was in black and to the right in an orange sign, there was a small gap in the middle, separating the two categories.

"This my lord is your personal hall of upgrades and might I just say it was not an easy thing construct as you kept learning new abilities and your suit could only truly channel magical energy, now this broad room can finally be of proper use to you. As you can tell by the banners overhead and the boards on the wall, this room upgrades your magic and your jutsu, have a look."

"This is the largest room; well aside from the throne room...it must've taken you guys forever to build this..." Naruto said taking a few steps into the room.

"And it's only going to get bigger luckily now it will just incorporate any new techniques you develop, that are either spells or real jutsus. For now, master, just look. I'll tell you how to upgrade them in a moment."

Naruto stood before the list of spells which had each spell he knew, including telekinesis, the mind protection ritual, and the blood bath ritual. Naruto looked at the list from top to bottom, with what he has on the left and what it upgrades to on the right.

to Flamethrower, midrange stream of flames, easily burns opponents

to Enchantments Lv.2, mid-term duration, can handle multiple commands simultaneously/one immediately after another, Max is two.

to Telekinesis Lv.2, larger objects are easier to move

to Bloodbath Lv2, enhances power of taken attributes

Spells/Ritual to Durable Defense, any type of protective barrier is more powerful

to Target Lv2, adds an additional stream to the Evil Presence Spell, able to convert two people at the same time.

Naruto mused over the new possibilities, most of them sounded useful. Naruto then walked over to the list of jutsus on the other side of the wall.

Clone/Multi-Shadow Clone to Clone Lv 2, can take an additional hit. Max Limit is increased.

to Transformations Lv2, overall more convincing/more effective whether on self/other people or objects, independently (one thing) or simultaneously (multiple things).

to Fireball Lv2, increases strength, size, and range

Flower to Phoenix Flower Lv2, More projectiles and increased damage

Flame to Dragon Flame Lv2, now naturally midranged, increased damage, longer duration.

's Mark to Jumping Parasite: Faster, produces more chakra and can be used a short distance away from intended target, can work on two victims at once.

to Sharingan Lv2, third Tomoe is activated in both eyes,

- Eye of Insight is enhanced, enhanced perception, can track faster opponents,

-Hypnotic Eye is enhanced, stronger hypnotism takes more effort to break free, more accurate when predicting/mimicking opponents and their moments.

Naruto smiled at all the jutsu before him, just thinking of all the destruction he could cause with them.

"Not bad but what about the Evil Presence Spell? I didn't see it in the list of spells."

"That is an unique spell which adjusts itself according to your alignment, the more you follow the path of domination the more it will work towards subduing people, if you were to follow the path of destruction it would be more efficient at killing people. It's upgrade is in the form of the Target Spell which boosts the Evil Presence Spell, either allowing you to control multiple people at once under the path of domination or further increasing its power under the path of destruction."

"Oh okay, cool, so how do I upgrade them anyway?"

"Well you don't get nothing for something my lord, in order to upgrade any jutsu, you need to sacrifice a number of chakra orbs you have collected. As for upgrading you spells you need, well typically an object of great magical prowess unfortunately there isn't one at the moment."

"That's disappointing, but there's gotta be something, right? So, what kind of magical object would it be anyway?"

"They differ but something they all have in common is that they have great magical powers."

"Hmmm like the unicorn horns?"

"Indeed, yes however removing them now will leave those lands defenseless against the golden."

"Hmmmm...well maybe we should ask Dimmer how he made them."

Naruto and Gnarl went up to Dimmer's pen, where he greeted them.

"Our lord, wishes to know how you made those carriers of light magic which we call, the unicorn horns."

"Oh, those things? Of course, it is quite easy my lord. I simply used the riches soil, purest water, and cutified slugs. I had my horn covered with the soul and water. As it dried it absorbed some of my horn's magic. Once it was dry, it was taken off, being a hollow mold of my horn. Cutified slugs were then stuffed inside it, then water was poured in and finally the rich dirt was used as a cap. After that the makeshift horn was shaken up. All that was left was sunshine. It sounds like a lot but it really isn't, they are actually quite easy and better yet you can make molds of the molds, though they won't be as powerful but, they still get the job done." Dimmer informed as he stood before his master.

"So how would I make the opposite of that? The evil version if you would say." Naruto asked.

"I'm delighted you would ask, I knew you had your reasons. Well I suppose that it would be the same process just a difference of ingredients, instead of the richest soil, it would have to be soil where nothing can grow, instead of purest water, polluted and contaminated water would do, the more wretched the better and lastly, normal slugs would do."

"And by normal he means magical, speaking of getting ingredients, the Blue and Green Hives have been formed, now they need the power of both chakra and magic to be of use to you." Gnarl added.

"Ok so what do I need to do?" Naruto asked as he looked at Gnarl.

"For Dimmer, you need to gather the corrupted soil from our land, as well as polluted water and to find and corrupt the slugs of our land."

"I know a heavily polluted pond in this village, no one even goes there anymore cuz it's so polluted."

"Wonderful, if it's that grimy the Greens will be able to find it in no time. Now-"

"Greens? I thought they was just one?"

"Not any more my lord, remember that animal you killed in the Forest of Death, well Mortis was able to use the life force from it to resurrect some fallen greens."

"Alright good looks like I will finally be able to train with that ability, so what needs to happen for the hives?"

"The Green Hive needs poison from both this world and ours, while the Blue Hive needs water, the magic aspect we have, the Cavernheart's pool, but we need special water from this world, just regular water won't do it."

"What has to be special about it?"

"It has to be able to change people's disposition."

"I'm thinking hot springs, there's chemicals or herbs in there to help people relax and there's a lot of it. But the hot springs are made to soothe people will that work?"

"Indeed, it will, I'd get going if I was you my lord, you have quite the list of items to procure. I suggest you go to our realm first, as it will take some time to prepare the hives."

Naruto nodded and left the two, going to the Netherworld to go to magical world. Once there he went to where the farms were and collected the unusable soil, having put it in a bucket first. With that done he asked Gnarl where the slugs would be and was told of a cave which was their breeding grounds.

Naruto, having no clue as to where the cave was, started walking. He went with the motion as he traveled across the Golden, with no idea if he was getting closer or father away from his destination. To Naruto's surprise he eventually came to a large cave which was probably full of soldiers. There were two soldiers guarding the entrance and what appeared to be a railroad track going into the cave.

As Naruto approached it Gnarl suggested that it would make a good stealth mission and upon hearing that Naruto agreed. Using his green ability, Naruto snuck passed the guards, being carful of where he steps and how fast. Naruto turned off the invisible aspect of the ability once he was farther away from the two guards. He followed the railroad track and walked down the gold cave, he saw that the first rail track branched off into three others going into smaller caves. There were hefty guards walking from right to left, guarding the three tunnels. Naruto turned invisible once again and of the tree smaller caves in front of him, Naruto took the center. He walked down it and found a large pool of green slime, inside it was a massive slug. He also saw that on the other side of the mother slug was a rail track leading to another area.

"That's the mother slug, master, she's the one creating all the slugs, she's a big one ain't she? It seems that the Shining Justice is harvesting her children for more of their own unicorn horns. We can't let that continue my lord. Convert the mother slug to our ways and help it break out, I'm not too particular of slugs and neither are the other minions so the cavern and Netherworld are off limits but I'm sure we can find a place for it to reside. Least now we can also stop those namby pambies from using the slugs." Gnarl exclaims through the mask.

"Ok." Naruto said quietly and used Evil Presence on the massive fluffy slug. It worked for a while but the slug broke free and spawned a horde of slugs. When Naruto tried it again, almost instantly the smaller slugs bumped into the mother slug, bringing it to its senses.

"That won't work, master. This slug is smarter than any other I've encountered. You must eliminate the small ones first. Also, be on alert as I'm sure the soldiers are aware that something is afoot."

Naruto created a large fireball and tossed it at the large group of fuzzy slugs. The baby slugs were easily killed but the mother stayed strong. Naruto used Evil Presence once again but, when he thought that, that was enough the slug broke free. A new horde was created, a large horde and this one seemed to be aware of Naruto's presence. A smaller group of the large horde went after Naruto, who set them ablaze. He burned all the small groups that came after him before setting the larger horde on fire, when no more would go after him. Naruto knew that now the weakened mother slug was his for the taking and he used Evil Presence for a final time.

Naruto saw the mother slug relax so, he stopped. The bar above the mother slug, was now green. Naruto turned around to see the heavy soldiers, looking around. With a touch of magic, Naruto set the two men flying into the slug pit. Naruto then ended the green ability and built up his chakra.

Naruto entered his version 2 form and began changing the landscape, golden walls became grey and dank, it spread fast across the cave. All Naruto would have to do is extend his arms barely having to physically touch the walls to change them. It wasn't long before the cave looked like an actual cave. Naruto chakra arms grabbed the large mother slug, converting it to what it once was. The mother slug was changed from a fluffy creature to a slimy grotesque abomination. The guards tried to stop him but found themselves dead in an instant.

Naruto changed back to his normal form then activated the blue ability to heal the effects of the green ability. He turned to see the small tunnel he had taken, noting that the mother slug could never slip its way through it. Naruto amassed his chakra for his version two state but found it taking longer than usual. Not wanting to waste time, Naruto settled for his version one state and with a pair of chakra claws, mimicked Kiba's Fang over Fang. Naruto dug a much larger hole, one big enough for the mother slug.

Naruto stopped as the wall that once housed three tunnels now had a massive hole in it, the middle whole was gone and the ones on the sides were soon to collapse. Naruto watched the mother slug come towards him, going through the path he made.

The mother slug followed Naruto out where a portal gate appeared just outside the cave. Naruto reduced his chakra level so it was normal, he stood to the side and the mother slug went over to the gate and was teleported away.

Naruto was about to step on the portal gate when Gnarl told him that he needed to find poison for the Green Hive. Naruto exclaimed how he had almost forgotten about it then asked where he would find a suitable poison. Naruto was told to go to Castle Gromgard, to see if there wasn't any poison there that might have been lost to time.

Naruto began to walk away but was told that he could teleport there with the portal gate, so he eagerly stepped on it and found himself in Castle Gromgard's spawning pit. As he looked around the rest of the castle he was told that the mother slug was already being led to the Forest of Death, to make its home below the surface.

Naruto managed to find what he was looking for in an old dusty brown box in the kitchen, several types of poisons. With Gnarl's approval of the find, Naruto returned to the Minion Cavern. Gnarl told his master that the Green Hive was being fitted with the poison as they and all that he had to do was to get the water for the Blue Hive. Naruto was off, heading over to the hot springs, he didn't have to fetch a chakra based poison as Grubby found a jar of the stuff that the old man was keeping.

Naruto, not wanting to spend too much time amongst the people, leapt from rooftop to rooftop over to the hot springs. There he was a bit stumped as he didn't have anything to hold the water in, not that he knew exactly what would happen he willed the water to go to the cavern. Naruto didn't have to ponder for long as Gnarl told him that he had to redirect the flow of one of hot springs.

Naruto was just about to walk towards the hot springs office when he heard a barely familiar voice.

"There you are!" Naruto turned his head to see Ebisu, coming towards him.

"Oh, it's uh you. What do you want?" Naruto said as he turned around, having his hands behind his back.

"I have been looking all over for you, Kakashi sensei asked me to be your teacher, and though there might not be much time left. I can still fulfill his request." Ebius said as he stood in front of Naruto.

"What could a loser like you possibly teach me?" Naruto said.

"You disrespectful little- ahem I can do many things like walk on water for instance."

"...can you walk on air?" Naruto said angrily, hiding his curiosity on walking on water.

"Whatever do mean?" Ebisu asked before he was uppercuted and sent flying through the air.

"I don't need another master!" Naruto called out before he turned his attention back to the hot spring. "... I should probably do this later, if people know I'm here when the water drains, they'll come for me and I'm not ready for that just yet."

"Understandable, so tonight then you will drain the hot springs." Gnarl said.

"Yeah until then, why don't I go to the upgrade room and train with my Green ability, I also want to know why it took me longer to build up chakra than usual back in the slug den." Naruto said before he returned to the Minion Cavern.

Naruto went to the upgrade room to upgrade his justu, which each costing him five chakra orbs of his twenty-seven chakra orbs. He upgraded his clones, his Vampire's Mark and his Sharingan. He was delighted to see the wall change instantly to accommodate, showing him what was the next upgrade was.

-Clones lv3 would allow him to remember everything his clones did, their memories, thoughts, actions and everything they knew he would.

-Jumping Parasite to Flying Parasite

Steal multiple people's chakra at a medium distance. (Max: 3 people)

-Sharingan lv2 to Sharingan lv3

Unlock Genjutsu: Sharingan

Though now each new ability would cost him ten and he only had twelve, Naruto spent it on his clones, which he figured would be the most used while also being one of the most beneficial.

Naruto spent the rest of the day training with his new abilities, and that night went out using the green ability, which he saved just for the occasion. Naruto went to the hot springs and snuck inside, looking for an empty pool he could drain. When he came to a spot with only two people in it, since it was the least crowded pool there he decided it was time to get busy. Having not been seen, and not wanting anyone to notice the future smell, he transformed himself into Noemi, cursing himself for not thinking about it beforehand.

Noemi made herself visible, stunning the females in the bath. They were also stunned by her beauty for a mere second before welcoming her inside. Noemi walking into the pool and approached the two. She tossed two papers bombs, which landed across the pair's mouths and starred there. She performed the Jumping Parasite, and the pair clutched their stomachs. Their cries of pain were muffled and before they could even fully double over, their stomachs were housing a cabbage sized orb of chakra. Noemi rose her hand pulled it back, the orbs tore themselves from their host and floated over to the woman five feet away.

Noemi then used her magic to lift the two out of the water and on to the stone floor. Next, Noemi called upon her minions, so they would now where to go, specifically the blues. Noemi walked out of the pool and watched as a vortex ensued. Noemi decided that while she waits, the people, there must've been around thirty or so, were blissfully unaware. They all had chakra that she actually could use, not to mention unlike the orphans of the

village, where the orbs were small and only counted as half of a real one, these full adults would be one for one.

Knowing this she created fifteen clones to go out and gather all the raw chakra of the people. Noemi then looked at the females in agonizing pain, and walked over to one of them to snap her neck. Three orbs of Brown life force fell from her lifeless body, the other woman was next with the same result. Noemi collected it then remarked sniffy of how easy it was, then thought about it and was surprised that she wasn't as exhausted as she thought she would be.

She would have reflected more on that if not for the lack of hot soothing water in the pool, there was just a hole and a damp rocky floor. Gnarl then told her about the hot spring raining down upon the Blue Hive the same time as the Cavernheart's pool was.

All she had to do was wait, as she did so she got the memories of a few clones, those that had used the Jumping Parasite and disappeared. She was amazed to remember every detail like she herself was there. It was disorienting but she soon regained herself, she tossed the two dead females over to the hole and waited for Gnarl to give the ok.

The remaining clones went after as many people as they could until one clone was remaining. It was at that time Gnarl got an idea and informed his master.

"My Lordess."

"What's up?"

"I was just thinking while we wait for the Blue Hive to adjust to the elements, perhaps it would be better if at least one person survived."

"Why?"

"Because, the whole reason we did this at night was to shift the blame off of you but, now that you are a young voluptuous female, I think it would be wise for someone to report seeing that instead of well the real you."

"...good point, well luckily this technique doesn't kill, just leaves them in complete agony." Noemi said as she got rid of the last clone and made twenty more, now knowing how many people were left. The clones quickly fawned out to collect from the good frightened people.

"Ah then let your clones deal with the peasants the Blue Hive looks like it's ready to be used, return to the Minion Cavern. We're all eager to see what these new blues will be able to do." Noemi jumped on the rooftop before activating the paper bombs on the female duo. The bombs exploded and covered the hole that the Blue had created, the young blonde fled the scene with a smile on her face. She knew that there were a number of survivors who would never forget her face. As she fled she kept an ear out for the police, who would no doubt be own on their way.

Noemi, hearing ninjas approaching yet not wanting to deal with the police at this point and time, activated her green ability. Standing as still as she could, she became invisible, she watched as the ninja police were now in sight. She waited for them to pass her by but one of them got too close. In paranoid fear she backed up, but she earned the attention of the ninja who stared at her. Noemi braced herself for combat but it never came as the ninja left her presence. Noemi looked at herself, still transparent in her own eyes, and began walking. To her surprise, she remained transparent, invisible to others. She headed back to the Minion Cavern, halfway there she reached the conclusion that as long as she remains passive in her movements she'll stay invisible.

When Noemi returned, she told Gnarl to find tinted glasses. During which she reverted to Naruto and was told about the success of the Blue Hive. Naruto went to the Netherworld to the Minion Burrows. He went to the blue minion area, which had a large water fall, which branched into smaller waterfalls upon hitting a platform with the Blue Hive on it. There was a stone path leading up to it which Naruto took, when he got there he summoned four clones. The hybrid blues were similar to the hybrid reds as they had a medium build, were a head above Naruto's own waist and had five fingers. However, the hybrid blues had webbed fingers, toes, and ears along with a webbed dorsal fin going from the back of the head down to the waist and continued on down a long fin-like tail. They also had gills on the sides of their necks, and rows of sharp teeth.

He told them to show him what they could do, which was healing jutsu, water manipulation, creating a water wall and water prison. However, they themselves were also unaffected by the water jutsu they threw at each other. Naruto, having an abundance of blue life force brought life to twenty-five hybrid blues.

After snapping one of the hybrid blue's neck, which was then resurrected per Naruto's demand, the overlord went to the Green Hive. His gem glowed brightly with a darker blue color but Naruto had the gem return to its normal yellow color as he wasn't going to train right then and there. The Green Hive was fully formed with the appearance of several murderous Venus flytraps. It was then that Naruto realized that he didn't have any green life force to create hybrid greens. Naruto informed Gnarl, by speaking it out loud, hoping that the old minion would find a place where he could collect some.

Gnarl informed his master that life force even chakra based life force is mostly based of where the person resides and their special skills. Naruto had Gnarl explain what would meet the requirements for green life force and Gnarl went down the reflectively short list after which Naruto asked if there was any place like that in the village. In fact, there was one perfect for green life force, a forest filled with bugs and poisonous flora. Naruto went to the Observatory to get a better look at what the place was then asked who lived there and was shown the big user, Shino Aburame.

That's all Naruto needed before he took his leave for the second time that night, this time he remained himself as he figured his Noemi character would be hunted for. Naruto had no idea as to where he was going, he was just heading for the apparent forest when he got there he found several houses. Most of them had lights on and Naruto wondered if that meant that they were more than just battle ready.

Naruto activated his green ability and quickly snuck up to a nearby house, peering into the and finding a couple still awake. Naruto turned invisible and knocked on the door, staying on the side as he made his sword appear. When the door was answered, Naruto forced the person back then both of the adults to remain absolutely still. With his sword in hand, Naruto slashed at the duo but then remembered that it would have been stronger if he did it from behind. So, he did and after a simple walk around, Naruto stabbed at the two in the base of the spine.

Green life force fell to his feet, each adult having four orbs. Naruto released the two from his telekinesis and their bodies hit the floor, blood leaked from their wounds.

Naruto thought of what he could think of to draw out a few others so he could kill them quickly. Naruto transformed himself into a young child, one extremely similar to Shino only younger. After turning off his green ability, he had a clone of the child run out while another turned off all the lights except for the one in the living room, which was where the original and the dead bodies were. Five others were created and hid in the shadows, one of them having the Executioner's Blade.

Help did come in the form of three pairs of adults, who saw the transformed Naruto crying over two dead people. It didn't take long for the him to have the support of the Aburames, being consoled by two as the other four examined the bodies. It was at this time that Naruto's smell was noticed, Naruto took that as a cue and paralyzed all of the Aburame members. His clones ran out of the dark and attacked the unsuspecting adults, stabbing them with kunai, and the Executioner's Blade. A total of twenty-four orbs were gathered from the group.

Feeling that a total of thirty-two was a good amount of life force, Naruto left the house after dispersing his clones. Naruto made himself into Noemi and fled while she laughed loudly; again, with the intention of putting it all on Noemi. Noemi went back to the cavern with great haste, where she quickly turned herself back into Naruto. Naruto went to the Green Minion Hive in the Minion Burrows which was in the Netherworld.

There, he summoned ten hybrid greens. The hybrid greens had a number of similarities to their hybrid brothers, having a medium build with more pronounced lips, five fingers, larger cheeks and larger stomachs. However, there were a few differences, the greens had long sharp nails and a strong set of legs.

After having them display their powers, Naruto snapped one of their necks then resurrected that one himself. Feeling that he has done enough for one day, Naruto went to sleep, with plans for tomorrow.

Naruto had a few helpings of ramen before his training. At first Naruto trained in the training room, making three pairs of clones, each with a hybrid ability but, was told that it was restrictive for the clones with the hybrid green ability.

Having been told that, Naruto told his clones that they would train in the magical world. Once he was in the Netherworld, Gnarl reminded him of Lee, who was still in the dungeon. Naruto told his clones to go train without him as he had to deal with Rock Lee.

The three pairs of clones, plus the one Naruto himself was training with, went on ahead while Naruto told Gnarl to prepare for another blood bath. Gnarl agreed and informed his master that he will be notified once all the preparations are ready. With his limited free time, Naruto went to check on his clones, perhaps join in for a quick sparring round. When Gnarl told him that it was time, Naruto went back, creating a normal clone to soar with the one he, himself was sparring with.

It wasn't long before Naruto was stepping into the tub of blood and magical flowers, he concentrated on the things he wanted to steal from Lee, which was his physical prowess and taijutsu knowledge. Naruto repeated those things to himself as he slightly sunk into the blood, soon he was in a familiar dark area lit by distant yet large fireballs.

His portrait was the same as before, he was in his armored suit. Lee's portrait was him in his green jumpsuit with a blue glow around his body and a yellow glow around his head, specifically his forehead.

Naruto entered his four-tailed form, wanting to end this as quickly as possible. However, Lee went straight for opening the fifth gate, boosting his own abilities. Lee was first to attack, landing a punch on Naruto, sending him tumbling back. Naruto activated his sharingan just before he regained his footing, a bit surprised by Lee's speed and knowing that it could make things more difficult. The moment Naruto stopped himself Lee appeared behind him and struck him in the back. This time Naruto used his tails to slow down his momentum. Once he came to a near stop, he looked behind himself but didn't see Lee. As he turned his head forward his cheek was met with a fist.

Wanting to put an end to this back and forth, Naruto created a series of clones that jumped out of his body. The clones huddled around the original, stopping his movements and to draw out Lee. Lee appeared when he punched a clone, three of the fifteen jumped out of the mass, as well as the real Naruto. Those four Narutos observed Lee as he took on the twelve clones, all of which with their own sharingans.

With his greatly enhanced strength it only took one hit for him to dispel a clone but as he was on fodder to the one spot, the clones began adapting to his new speed.

The original was biding his time, gaining knowledge all the way. He could see his clones start to dodge Lee's attack and even try to land a blow of their own. There were nine fighting clones left, and they were starting to get the upper hand. Naruto found it very difficult to believe that anyone could be faster than him in his current state, so having the speed to keep up with his current opponent wasn't his problem as much as knowing what he was going to do. Naruto was sure that in time he would have naturally adapt to Lee's vastly increased speed without the sharingan but, he didn't have that kind of time, he only had a limited time in the blood bath itself and he had to get his body use to Lee's blood before the finals, which were only in a few days.

As Lee fought with the clones, Naruto began thinking of how he could obtain the desired traits from Lee. He thought for some time, until he noticed that there were eight fighting clones left. Now, Lee was at a disadvantage as all the clones could easily predict Lee's moves and not only dodge or block them but could strike him first. Lee could barely get a hit in while the clones

Naruto destroyed all his clones, so he knew what they knew. He charged at Lee, his eyes never straying deform his target and already able to predict what Lee's next move was. Naruto effortlessly dodged Lee's attacks and not before long had the taijutsu user pinned to the ground. Naruto's chakra claws had extended, grabbing Lee's wrists and forcing him down. Two chakra tails grabbed Lee's ankles to keep the boy in place. The remaining two tails plunged in the shoulder blades of the struggling genin, they dug deep into his flesh until they hit bone. The tails wrapped around and began crushing he bones in their grasp, and it was longs before Naruto tore the arms right off. Next were the legs which followed the same pattern, they were severed and Lee was limbless.

Though to Naruto's surprise Lee did just lie there, he used what he had left at his disposal. Using his head and bleeding stumps Lee launched himself at Naruto, catching him off guard but still in able to land a hit. Naruto's eyes left Lee for a moment, looming to his portrait. The painted Naruto's while body was glowing, so Naruto knew that he also needed Lee's torso. With his two free tails, Naruto lashed out at Lee, before one of them pieced Lee's neck. Blood filled in Lee's mouth and the Naruto's last free tail went in for the kill. Lee's head was severed from his body and left to roll along the dark floor. Naruto kept from his spot on the ground to his glowing portrait. Naruto put the parts where they belonged on the large painting. He turned his head to see Lee's hard soaring through the air at him, Naruto couldn't believe that Lee would be so persistent. Naruto, with his hands and tails freed up lunged at Lee's head, easily knocking him down and landing not too far off.

Naruto faced Lee, seeing him use his tongue to propel himself, which wouldn't work if he wasn't in his heightened state and somewhat immortal. Naruto caught Lee's head, which tried his best to bite him. Naruto held Lee's head in what he could only describe as admiration, Lee's determination moved him, it was a shame that they never fought but, then again, his fight with Garaa was far more amazing. a tail plunged into Lee's head, then flung it at the portrait. However, Lee's head fell to the ground, Naruto scowled then looked back at Lee's portrait, once again noting the glowing forehead.

Naruto then figured that he had to rid Lee's head of what he really wanted, the brain. Naruto's four tails darted through the air, plunging into Lee's head before it actually hit the floor. The tails pried it apart until the brain was fully exposed and Lee's head was in two halves. The tails lifted the brain up to its spot on the portrait.

The fireballs were still a decent size meaning that a fair amount of time was left before the Naruto would return to the real world. Naruto looked at Lee's painting, it was quickly losing its color, fast than Sasuke's did, he looked back to his own to see everything from the neck down sink into the work of art. When they did, Naruto noticed that the Naruto in the painting became bulkier and even a little taller as he assumed a Lee's typical fighting stance: One arm behind his back with a closed fist, one just below his face with an open palm but closed fingers facing up. When the brain was integrated, that Naruto appeared to have a gate unlocked as through the gaps in the armored suit, his skin was red and veins were showing.

With that done, Naruto was surprised that he was still in the weird world, he wondered if there was a way to get out prematurely. He looked at Lee's painting, he pondered the notion that if he destroyed it, he would go back. He ran towards the depressed portrait and attacked it. It took a number of strong hits but eventually it began cracking like a mirror. After a few good hits, the portrait shattered and disappeared in the air.

Naruto didn't notice much of a difference except that there was no sign of Lee's broken head. He then thought that maybe breaking his own would do the trick however a second thought posed a good counter argument, that he would lose the powers he gained if he did. Not wanting to risk it, Naruto tried concentrating on leaving instead. With nothing else working, Naruto just waiting it out, making a number of clones to train with him as he waited.

When Naruto was finally out of that world, he only was able to sit up before he completely passed out. He came to in his room, once again having been cleaned and having no doubt that his armor was nearby.

Naruto got dressed as everything was there for him including his mask, which now had black lens to prevent anyone from seeing his eyes. Naruto found the suit was a bit lighter than usual as he walked down the stairs, away from his private quarters and then to the main hall. He was greeted by Gnarl, who told him that tomorrow was the Chunin Exam Finals.

Naruto had a quick meal, and went to the magical world to train without worry. He created a massive amount of clones, he had a lot of knowledge and needed around twenty of them to work all of it out, which included discussions and sparing of any kind. Another group of twenty were given the task of working on his magical prowess, while the next twenty were tasked with honing his Minion abilities, every five clones having one Minion Ability. The final batch of twenty were raised with mastering the nine-tailed forms. All the clones had sharingans to help each one adapt and learn even faster. Naruto returned to the Netherworld, with only one thing he wanted to do, complete the Brown Hive.

As he walked around he found the room were all the corrupted Unicorn horns were being kept.

"Hey Gnarl, aren't theses those the horns I had to collect?" Naruto to said Gnarl through he his adjusted mask.

"Indeed, they are, they mark all the places that are now evil and miserable." Gnarl informed.

"They're like the horns Dimmer is making, right? You know the ones for magic upgrades."

"In fact, they are, exactly the same."

"So, could I use these for upgrades? There's like forty or something."

"Unfortunately, not my lord; these crystal-like objects maintain the darkness in our realm without them all the Shining Justice has to do is preform good deeds and the land will be overrun with Golden in no time. That is unless you would enjoy going back and forth stopping every single little thing they do over training and plotting against the Leaf?"

"Not especially."

"You will destroy them in time, master, but that isn't now so leave the unicorn horns alone. In other news, how did your blood bath go?"

"I was stuck there for who knows how long, so I used the extra time to train." Naruto said as he left the room with the unicorn horns.

"Extra time you say?" Gnarl said with intrigue in his voice.

"Yeah, I tried breaking out, but nothing worked. Hey, how many unicorn horns has Dimmer made, it's been awhile since I've seen him."

"Well he made one the first night, two the next night, three the following night then four two nights ago and just last night he made five, so there is a total of fifteen."

"I'll put them to use now then." Naruto said as he went to the Hall of Upgrades in the Minion Cavern. When he got there, he looked over the spells, he could upgrade.

to Telekinesis Lv.2, larger objects are easier to move

to Bloodbath Lv2, enhances power of taken attributes

Spell/Ritual to Brave Barrier, protective barriers are more durable

to Target Lv2, adds an additional stream to the Evil Presence Spell, able to convert two people at the same time.

Each spell cost one unicorn, Naruto sacrificed six and upgrade all of his spells, which changed the moment he did.

Barrier to Solidified Shield, any type of protective barrier is strengthened and naturally last longer

Lv2 to Target Lv3, adds an additional stream to dominate three people simultaneously

Now each new spell cost five unicorn horns, and Naruto with nine horns left could only get two Level three spells. Before Gnarl suggest that Naruto only get one new one so there would be twice as many the next night, Naruto traded five of his magical horns for Telekinesis Lv3.

"Oh, Gnarl were you saying something?"

"Well if you waited for me to finish, my lord. I was just about to tell you that if waited until tomorrow you would have twenty unicorn horns, it pays to save up such useful items my lord." Gnarl stated passive aggressively.

"Oh, guess I got too excited, damn it. Well I'm sure they're worth it." Naruto said as he looked at the new list of spells which was shorter than the previous one.

to Combustion, mid-range fire based attacked that will badly damage and set anything within range on fire

Lv2 to Enchantments Lv3, unlocks long term duration, added command can be given for a max of 3 commands per object.

Lv2 to Bloodbath Lv3, reduced recovery time and armor is provided at the start of each battle

Barrier to Solidified Shield, any type of protective barrier is strengthened and naturally last longer

Lv2 to Target Lv3, adds an additional stream to dominate three people simultaneously

"Wait what happened why is it shorter than before?" Naruto asked with surprise in his voice.

"Do not fret my lord, it just means that those spells are at their highest point, and cannot be further heightened aside from your own personal touches." Gnarl informs.

"Oh, well let's see how the jutsu are faring." Naruto went over to the gallery of upgradable Jutsu, to see if he wanted to upgrade any of them.

to Transformations Lv2, more convincing/more effective; can change and maintain that change on more people, simultaneously.

When he was done with the upgrades, Naruto went to the magical world and told his army of clones to die one by one with a minute in between. Over two hours and thirty minutes, all the clones dispersed into thin air, Naruto was kept busy as he had to take in the constant flow of knowledge.

Ten minutes after that, Naruto created fifty clones and told them to train on his new skills. Naruto went to his private quarters in the Minion Cavern to fully recuperate himself. When he woke up, he walked down to the main hall where Gnarl reminded him about finding suitable materials for the Brown Hive.

"Hmm well the only things that comes to my mind is the Hokage mountain and the weird rock Kakashi took us to a while back." Naruto stated, trying to think of anything else that could be suitable.

"You mean those faces on the wall? Well to be sure, you better go get a sample of the soil while I send a troop to the training grounds, Kakashi seemed quite found of it. Off you go, we don't have all day lord." Gnarl said and getting a nod from Naruto. "Best to disguise yourself so, you don't have to wait until nightfall."

"Right." Naruto said before he transformed himself into Noemi and left he Minion Cavern. Noemi activated the Green ability and turned herself invisible as she ran across the rooftops. She rushed to the monument, going to the top and making a small hole. She cupped some the dirt on her hands, which disappeared. She stood up and left, not wanting anyone to be alerted of her presence.

As she headed back to the Minion Cavern, Gnarl told her that there was a slight problem.

"What's wrong?"

"It's that your sensei is at the stone, he hasn't noticed the presence of the minions but they can't go any further. Also, the soil you brought in will not do as it is nothing more than dirt. The browns want the one Kakashi is guarding, it must have some value, and It does look more intriguing. Hurry to the third training ground my lord; I have dispatched a few Hybrids to assist you if you need them." Gnarl stated as Noemi changed course and rushed over the to the Third Training Ground.

When she got there, she spotted Kakashi in front of the stone. Noemi took this time to let the blue ability heal the rot the Green ability brought up on her true form.

"Stop hiding, Naruto I could smell you a mile away." Kakashi said, not looking over his shoulder. "I need to talk to you anyway, you're surprisingly a hard one to find."

"...I hope I'm not intruding, this just looked like such a nice spot don't you think so?..." Noemi said cheerfully as she walked through the foliage, staying hidden in the trees.

"You're not Naruto. Who are you?" Kakashi said as he turned to give the woman his full attention. Noemi just poked her head out from behind a tree.

"No need to get worked up over little old me." Noemi said in a cheerful and innocent tone but Kakashi took a battle-ready position.

"You. You're the one that has been terrorizing this village. Why? Whatever vendetta you have against the Leaf isn't worth the innocent lives you." Kakashi asked, demanding to know.

"Oh, you don't have to be so mean, I mean why not just be friends instead." Noemi said in a sad tone, but her answer was having a kunai peg the tree just millimeters away from her head.

"Answer me, now and this'll go over smoothly otherwise, I'll just have to put you down right now."

"Oh my, well guess things are going to get a bit of rough and tumble hm?" Noemi said as she pulled the kunai out of the tree, never losing her innocent smile.

To be continued...
