Blame the Demons That Raised Me
Flamingo Message: For those wondering about the Hinata thing I could have sworn I put in a quick line in one of the previous chapters but after running over them myself, I guess not. Ahem, nothing is or was going to happen with Hinata, Naruto thought it'd be a waste of time so he didn't go on the date, preferring to strengthen himself. Also, he's not interested in any form of a romantic relationship.
Chapter 13: Gaara's Master
~Naruto~
Naruto had Kisame prepared for a blood bath, he knew he wanted the powers of one of the few people who got close to killing him.
From Kisame, want he wanted was his jutsu, particularly his summoning jutsu, his ability to breath under water and like the last two humans, his physical prowess.
When Naruto entered the trading arena, he first took notice of the key objects of Kisame's portrait. There were three key items, Kisame's hands, Kisame's gills and Kisame's body. Two of the three items, Naruto had experience in taking but the gills were a new one.
The thing Naruto did first was paralyze Kisame, not wanting him to whip out an extremely powerful water style jutsu right off the bat. Kisame's magically hands were cut at the wrists, they fell to the cold dark floor as Kisame remained frozen in place. Kisame's neck was then cut open, his body staying in midair as his head fell to the floor. Naruto cut the area encompassing Kisame's gills. With each item freed from their original owner, Naruto brought each of them to his portrait.
After enough time had passed, the objects were integrated into the portrait of Naruto and awhile after that, Naruto was back in the Netherworld. Naruto got out of the blood-filled tub, letting the bath be handled by the hybrids before getting back in it to be washed. As he was being washed he felt the hybrids be careful around his neck, they went slower and seemed more through. After the bath, Naruto looked into the water and examined his neck which had three lines on the side, he guessed that the gills were closed for the time being.
After his cleaning, Naruto went up to where Gnarl was, being told to do so by his minions.
"Lord, during your blood bath there have a series of disturbances. It seems that all the ninjas that have eluded you are headed this way. Not just the surviving members of the clans but Danzo's followers and those- what were they? Anbu? They too are all headed this way, you must stop them before they come any closer."-Gnarl
"Hmm they all joined forces to take back the village huh? Well how many are there? How many in total?"-Naruto asked somewhat impressed.
"Around the size of an army, though they may think twice about attacking upon your intervening. I'm sure they bow down to your power begging for mercy in no time at all."
"Heh, so where's Gaara?"
"I'm here brother."-Gaara said as he appeared before the Cavern Heart.
"We're going out Gaara."-Naruto said as he turned to walk out of the Cavern. Gaara followed his big brother and they came to the remnants of the Leaf Village on the border. There were large amounts of ninja spread out before them standing on the buildings. The two males noticed the varying uniforms, most likely pertaining to the various clans of the Leaf.
"Should we kill them now?"-Gaara asked as he stood on the wall.
"Good question. Let's see." Naruto held out his minion gauntlet and tried to crush a ninja's heart. The gauntlet however shook and Naruto drew his hand back.
"What is it doing?"
"It's giving me a sign that these people will be serving me therefore we can't kill them. So, I have to get them to a point where I can make them to serve me."
"What do you need of me?"
"Make sure no one passes this wall."
"Understood, anything else?"
"Depends, you said you were going to look in on being my advisor, any ideas?"
"I would need to know how you bring people over to your side." Gaara said as sand launched from his gourd to knock attacking people away.
"Simply put, I'm able to see if they want to fight me or harm me and things like that, and as long as they do I can't make them obey me. However, even if it wavers for just a second I can use a special skill and they will see my greatness. Though I could use a spell I recently learned from Dimmer, but the same rule still applies and then spell is more voluntary."
"I see, perhaps it would be best to find out why they want to harm you in the first place. Also, it would be best to handle this situation with diplomacy."
"With what?"
"Not getting angry brother. Keep a calm attitude when trying to convince them."
"Ohh, fine I'll try I guess. Hey morons, I mean Leaf Village ninjas! What do you want from me?" Naruto spoke loud enough for the army of ninja to hear.
"We want you to return our families Naruto, I don't know what you're planning but it ends now."-A ninja said, being in front of his clan.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Brother."-Gaara
"I'm not- Ugh who are you?" Naruto said more respectfully.
"Shikaku Nara, the jonin commander." -Shikaku stated.
"So, you're in charge huh? Nara? You look like Shikamaru, are you his dad? You are, aren't you?"
"Yes, I am and I want him along with all the men, women and children that that woman enslaved back to normal."
"That woman? You mean Noemi, well she works for me too, though she does it of her own freewill. Sorry, I can't free them from what she did, even if I wanted to. Though-"
"This is a waste of time! We should just kill him, for lord Danzo!"-Root Member
"Oh, you want to kill me? You want to avenge your 'not so great' master? Well come on, try it." Naruto said as he leapt off the wall. As he fell, Naruto pushed off of said wall and launched himself towards the Root Division. Landing before them Naruto stood up, using a magical hand to rid himself of most of his armor, which felt a bit tight anyway. "Go on, kill me. I won't even fight back."
The members of Root wasted no time in attacking the overlord. Using their various skills to impale, hack, slash, stab, and do anything else they could think of, were determined to kill him. The Overlord, though he felt the pain, was mostly unaffected by their attacks. He ended up being pinned to the wall by several swords and was then subject to the combined mid to long range jutsu of Root. When their assault was done, they believed him to be dead but Naruto didn't even pretend to play along. The Overlord used a part of his strength to pull himself off of the wall and then force out all of the bladed objects lodged in him with magic.
"Long story short, you can't kill me. I'm immortal and truly all powerful. If it was up to me I'd consider beating you all to the last inch of your lives, but I'm instead showing diplomacy. So, well we both want something guess we have to meet an agreement or something, right?" Naruto asked that last part more to Gaara than to Shikaku.
"Correct brother."-Gaara confirmed.
"Naruto-"-Shikaku
"It's Overlord." -Naruto strongly corrected.
"Fine, Overlord, perhaps we should have a formal discussion with you if you truly are as powerful as you say. All we want is for our families and loved ones be returned to us."
"I get that, but they are busy working on something big and they won't stop until they complete it."
"To meet on an agreement there has to be a compromise. You have to do something for us."
"Hmm, work for me. Work for me and I'll Uhh let Hmm oh I got it, you help me, without any type of treachery until the sun fully sets on each day and I'll let the ones already working for me have the nights off. They won't have to work again until the sun fully rises as will the rest of you."
"Not exactly what I was thinking."
"Hey I comprised, it's a generous offer too. Don't be a hypocrite and-"
"Remain calm brother."-Gaara from on top of the wall, knocking back any ninja trying to take advantage of the distracted Overlord.
"Fine fine, well then what were you thinking? That I just give you everything you want?"
"Well no I didn't expect but wait brother? How do you two know each other? I thought the chunin exams were the first time you two even knew of each other. Was that and this all a plot and you two are really working for Orochimaru?"
"No, I don't even know who Orochimaru is. All I know is that I want a rematch with him, where I put his head on a pike. As for Gaara, all you need to know is that since our fight, we're brothers. Now back to the situation at hand, perhaps you should think twice before declining my offer."
"When the sun sets every night we all get to spend time with our families correct? Is that without you hovering over us?"
"If you're not planning on betraying me, you have nothing to worry about. I really don't care about what you do with your families unless you or anyone else is planning on betraying me, I'll kill you. No, I'll kill the ones you love that are serving me. That's the loved ones of the betrayer."
"What? You can't-"
"You only need to worry if you plan on betraying me, don't you? That is what I said isn't it?"
"It is..."
"So, do we have a deal?"
"Can we leave with the ones we love?"
"No. Wait...as long as you come back when the sun rises to do your job for the day."
"Am I'm right in assuming there's no payment."
"You're working with the ones you hold dear and get to spend the nights with them, I think that'd be value enough. But I suppose I will reward true loyalty."
"I have a personal question to ask you Naruto, uh Overlord."
"And what is that?"
"Why did you do this? How did you do this?"
"Why? Well I suppose I wanted to rule the Leaf Village. You got lucky I wanted to destroyed it just as much as I wanted to dominate it. There was a fifty-fifty chance of either one. I suppose you should actually be thanking Gaara, our fight put me in a merciful mood."
"You killed a great number of villagers."
"I know and that was me being merciful, I could have destroyed the entire village. I could have left this nothing but a flat land but I didn't, did I? You have a good deal, go talk with the heads of clan or whatever, come back tomorrow. If you take my deal I want each of the clan leaders and their clans to bow before me, those who don't well hope my brother will be able to keep me in a merciful mood." Naruto then looks at the number of ANBU to the far left then to the Root to the far right. "Root, Anbu, same offer, work for me and well don't both of you do the same things? I'm not too familiar with either of you but I'm sure there are many similarities."
"Why would we follow the one who lead to the down fall of our great village?"-Anbu head
"First off, Uhh I Hmm that's not a half bad reason actually. I may have caused a lot of trouble but I also saved this village from an invading force, are you all saying you wouldn't sacrifice a few Leaf lives if it meant the safety of all the rest?"
"Our Hokage was a great man, he cared deeply for this village and we will not let a little child defile the Hokage name."
"I'm the Overlord not the Hokage, same job but different title and I dare you to call me a little child again."
"You don't know the first thing about ruling, all you care about is yourself."
"Fair point, but I was willing to compromise for the jonin commander, so if you swear your loyalty, I'll uhh well what do you want me to do?"
"Dropping dead would be nice."
"You wish, now don't try my patience what is worth your loyalty?"
"If you want the loyalty of the Anbu Black Ops then you have to prove your loyalty to us and Konoha. Release the prisoners we know you kidnapped a few people and also restore the Leaf Village to how it once was. If you really are all powerful then that shouldn't be too difficult, would it?"
"...if I do then you have to swear your eternal loyalty to me and only me, you will be my Anbu shinobi from this day forward and do whatever I say. Do we have a deal?"
"You have to do those things first, before we swear anything to you. Though I can think of a few words to say at you."
"You remind me of me, but less blunt. Alright let's get this over with." Naruto jumped high into the air, landing onto the wall's top then jumped again. Being so high up let Naruto look down on the destroyed village. The Overlord closed his eyes and envisioned what the village used to look like, before the attack. He put his hands above his head as magic gathered between them. A ball of magic formed just as Naruto reached the plaque of his jump. The Overlord began to descend as the magic builded on itself. It was the size of Naruto's head when the Overlord opened his eyes, seeing that his spell was complete the Overlord threw the ball of magic to the ground.
The shimmering orb hit the land and a wave of magic rolled across the earth, restoring buildings, roads, signs, and everything else that had been ruined following the invasion. Naruto landed on the ground in a wide stance, he slowly stood upright as the ninjas looked around in shock.
"He did it..."-Shikaku said in amazement, the buildings all around him looking as good as new.
"It's not possible..."-Anbu Head.
"Now, about those prisoners."-Naruto saw the various Leaf Village prisoners and teleported them around him. Asuma, Kurenai, Iruka and the two ninjas that were with him. "There, I released the prisoners and I restored the village, now swear your loyalty to me."
"I-I-...it's- you shouldn't be able to do something like this it must be a genjutsu, just a powerful genjutsu."-Anbu head, not wanting believe that someone could be so powerful.
"No, it's all real, all I had to do was restore what everything was, actually not as hard as I thought it would be. Now, we had a deal."
"Naruto? Naruto, what are you doing?"-Iruka said from his spot amongst the other prisoners that were on sitting on their knees.
"Being diplomatic. I kept up my end of the bargain now it's your turn, all of you by the way. Take a knee, bow your head and say, 'I swear my eternal loyalty to the Overlord, whom I willingly give my mind, soul, and body to'."
"Naruto, you have to stop I don't know what those people said but they're just using you-" Iruka said before he lost his voice to Naruto's magic.
"Now while I'm still feeling merciful, kneel."
The Anbu head looked back at his fellow Anbu but stood before the Overlord and took a knee. Naruto looked up to see the various others shinobi join behind their leader do the same and bow their heads.
"I swear my loyalty to the Overlord, whom I willingly give my mind, soul, and body to."- The Black OP's core announced in unison.
The Overlord gave a dark chuckle as he looked at the Anbu Black Ops core, which was now under his command. The Overlord then turned to Shikaku, who was staring at him with the various clan leaders around him. The Overlord then turned to the Root division.
"You guys, I think you would benefit greatly under an immortal leader." Naruto said as he moved to towards the Root organization.
"We only listen to Danzo and you killed him, he must be avenged."-Root leader, clearly at a lost but not knowing anything better.
"That physically will never happen but...if you really want Danzo, I could bring him back. But then you would still only be loyal to him, won't you? What did he do that made you all so loyal to him?"
"We can't talk about that."
"Really? Was it that important? I figured you guys would be bragging about how much better he is than me."
"We physically cannot talk about Lord Danzo."
"Really? Why not?"
"He put a seal on all of us that prevent us from doing so."
"Show me." The Root members opened his mouth and Naruto teleported himself before the Root member. The Overlord looked at the seal on the Root member's tongue and held the wet appendage. Naruto used magic to painlessly peel itself off of the tongue and float away. The ninja's eyes widened as the seal flew away. "Now, tell me about what he did."
"H-he he made us form bonds then made us kill the other, but that was only one of the many tests he made us go through to make us emotionless. Lord Danzo said that emotions as nothing more than a sign of weakness." The Root said, surprised jay he could say so much about his former lord.
"He's a fool, look at what I'm able to do, and I'm well, I'm not shy about showing how much I hate everything." Naruto looks into the eyes of the Root agent, searching through them before he resumes speaking. "Tell me what is it really that you want."
"We would do anything for lord Danzo."
"Even obey me alongside him? Well above him. If I brought back Danzo would you swear your enteral loyalty to me?"
"We would still obey lord Danzo..."
"As well as me, not that I have that many things for you to do anyway but still."
"If you did such a thing and we would still mainly obey and serve lord Danzo then yes."
"Perfect." The Overlord stomps his foot on the ground and Danzo's rotting corpse pops up from the earth. The Overlord looked down at the corpse and ran a hand over it. The body rejuvenated and the eyes opened. Danzo got to his feet as he looked at his body then to Naruto. "Ahem and like the Anbu, on one knee, bow your head and say 'I swear my loyalty to the Overlord, whom I willingly give my mind, soul, and body to' then you can go back to obeying Danzo, I don't really need two special divisions."
"I swear my loyalty to the Overlord, whom I willingly give my mind, soul and body to." The Root division stated while on one knee with their heads bowed before the two. Immediately after they swore their loyalty, Danzo's body caved in on itself until it was just a pile of decrepit bones and rotted flesh.
"What? What happened to him?"-Shikaku asked as he approached the Overlord, looking at the two other groups of ninjas. Neither the Anbu Black Ops nor the Root Division showed any kind of caring towards what just happened to Danzo as they remained motionless.
"I brought him back-"Naruto lied. "But I never was actually gonna keep him alive."
"You said they'd mostly obey Danzo."
"No, they said that, I said they'd have to swear loyalty to me before anything else."
"You said it yourself you don't need two divisions."
"True but I'm pretty sure I can just merge the two."
"...What's wrong with the Anbu? And the Root?" Shikaku said as he observed the stationary ninja.
"They swore their loyalty to me, they are just waiting to see what your final group does. So, already decided on accepting my deal?"
"I believe I could convince the others or I would try further if I actually trusted you anymore."
"I restored the village and returned the few prisoners I had, then I resurrected Danzo. I kept my word. Your... all of your clans have the best deal of the three, not only do you get to spend time with your loved ones but it is completely out of my hands, it only goes south if one of you fucks it up. Even then it's only that person's family or friends that pay the price."
"...there is something more to it than that isn't there? Aside from working from sunrise to sunset...on what?"
"I'd tell you but I don't trust you. You'll know once I know you're truly loyal to me. Now, run along and converse with the leaders." Naruto said prompting Shikaku to leave his presence, which was replaced by Gaara's. The sand genin jumped down from the wall to be at his lord's side.
"Things are going well. I commend you on keeping yourself in check."-Gaara
"Yeah though I rather beat them into submission."
"Would that work?"
"Probably not but I never tried it."
"Brother, to make this go by faster perhaps you should introduce the families of the leaders. It is possible that actually seeing the ones they hold so dear so close but still out of reach will help them reach a favorable conclusion."
"Can't hurt, can it?" Naruto said as he looked to his right and Shikamaru, Hinata, Shino, Kiba, and Ino appeared. Their respective parents took quick notice of their children. Naruto watched as the influencing adults stared at him then at their kids as they conversed. "Maybe I should threaten to kill them."
"Brother, I don't believe that will be necessary." Gaara said as he looked at the leaders, conversing.
"Hmph, I wish they'd hurry up, I still have one blood bath to do today."
"Perhaps they need another push?"
"I'm sick of debating! The Inuzuka clan will never submit to this freak! No matter how powerful!"-A female Inuzuka shouted before jumping away from the crowd with a large dog by her side. She was joined by a number of other Inuzukas.
"And there's the one who's fucking it up." Naruto said as he looked towards the Inuzuka clan with his arms crossed.
"Mother don't do this."-Kiba speaking from the line of other genin.
"Kiba, I don't know what he has done to you or the others but we will fix it. No matter what." The bold Inuzuka stated.
"I've been nice enough, haven't I?"-Naruto asked his little brother.
"One more push brother." -Gaara
"Fine, this is your last chance." Naruto opened his palm towards Tsume and she was forced towards him. He did the same to Kiba.
"What is this? I can't move."-Tsume said as she struggled against Naruto's magic.
"From deep within the heart, let loving honesty meet wrathful punishments. Let 1,000 words and 1,000 actions war against each other within your minds." Naruto said as he took hold the Inuzukas' heads and slammed them into each other. The two were then pulled apart and allowed to fall to the ground.
Within that second horrible things were done to the loving Kiba. Kiba said how he truly felt towards his mother, that he didn't like how she scared off his father, that she was too strict but he also confessed that he loved her deeply and respected her the most out of everyone he knew. Of course, for such words Kiba was severely punished. Tsume reprimanded him as she used a kunai to smooth out every part of his body. Tsume kept cutting away , leaving the Inukuka appeared genderless and without any skin. To them it lasted for hours and hours, but Kiba never died only begged for mercy which was also given its fair share of torture. Even when Kiba was left unrecognizable her job wasn't done, Kiba were fully restored and stated with kind words. He forgave her and told her he would never stop loving her then hugged her. Tsume gutted her son for that, sawing the kunai across his stomach and chastising him for things he long forgot about. Organs were removed after being slowly mutilated, his cries falling on helpless ears. Tsume tried to break the genjutsu by biting her tongue when she could finally muscle through but nothing changed, they were trapped. One of the many punishments was Tsume taking advantage of Kiba's insecurities enough to make him cry but then she forcibly stripped him down and started once again, further damaging their minds.
Kiba couldn't help himself, whenever enough time has passed he would start acting nice to his mother, even trying to consolidate her which always ended in pain one way or another. Even when his beloved Arkumaru was toured before his eyes, then the same torture being acted upon him, he remained pleasant after he finally stopped crying, weeping and or bleeding.
Naruto stood above Tsume, who was trembling on the cold ground. They were just let go and allowed to fall but Naruto saw it all, and only planned on keeping some of the waves of information he got from the two Inuzukas.
"That was my last act of mercy, though it did give me a few more ideas."
"Yo-you're a monster..."-Tsume's voice shakily spat out.
"Yes, I am. Better to agree to my terms or well, this won't just happen to him but to everyone else, starting with your beloved beast. You all are quite fond of your mutts aren't you?" Naruto said as he glanced at the large wolf growling at, trying to be threatening. Naruto then looked up to the hesitant Inukuka clan.
Naruto went over to Kiba and whispered in his ear. Kiba then got up and went over to his mother, offering her a hand. Tsume was put under a genjutsu so when she looked up at Kiba, she saw him in a familiar desperate need of repair. Tsume screamed, wracked with guilt and fear as she tried to crawl away.
"Mother? What's wrong mother? Please let me help you."- Kiba said as he followed his mother.
"Nononono! Stay away from me! You're not real, you're not real...it was a genjutsu...it didn't...I didn't..."
"But you did you ugly bitch, if what want this nightmare to end get on your knee and bow. Now!" Naruto demanded and making Tsume jump in her skin. Tsume got on one knee and bowed her head.
"Make it end, make it end."
"Repeat after me or this will be the least of your worries. 'I swear my loyalty to the Overlord, whom I willingly give my mind, soul and body to.' Say it."
"I-I swear...I sw-swear...I-I can't... Inuzuka's never surrender..."
"You had your chance. Kiba, give mommy dearest a hug." Naruto demanded, Kiba got to his feet and went over to his mother. Kiba knelt before his mother and hugged her, the genuine embrace was oddly warm and sweet to most but utterly horrific for Tsume. The woman screamed bloody murder before committing just that. She plunged a kunai in Kiba's gut, slashing across his waist. The young Inuzuka screamed in shock and released his mother, looking at the bleeding wound. Tsume toppled Kiba and slashed from his left shoulder down to the right-hand side of his hip.
"You're not real! You're not real!" Tsume shouted as she forced the gash open, exposing Kiba's inner workings.
"I'm real mother! Please stop! It hurts! It hurts!"
"You're not real!" Tsume was about to reach inside but was stopped by a younger female, who held Tsume's arms.
"What have you done to her?!"-The young female Inuzuka asked hysterically.
"You were there- oh yes you are her daughter. Well, let me show you." Naruto had his palms open towards he two, pulling them with a strong invisible force.
Tsume's and Hana's wolfs attacked Naruto, bitting his arms but he ignored them.
"From deep within the heart, let loving honesty meet wrathful punishments and 1,000 words and 1,000 action wage war within your minds." Naruto stated and slammed the females' heads together but letting go before they actually touched. The two females feel backwards, Hana in a state of shock while her mother was pushing the limits of insanity. Hana, looked over to Kiba, to see him bleeding out profusely then to her mother, who was mumbling to herself incoherently. Hana finally looked up to the overlord.
"O-on behalf of my m-mother and the Inuzuka Cl-clan...I-I would l-request hearing that sentence one more time."
"Ah a sensible Inuzuka, good. Get on one knee and bow your head and say 'I swear my loyalty to the Overlord, whom I willingly give my mind, soul and body to."
Hana followed those directions, followed them in her own traumatized way. Naruto looked up at the prideful Inuzuka's and motioned them to do the same. There was a small commotion amongst them before a select few followed suit. The majority of the Inuzuka clan however did not bow, so Naruto sighed, and turned to the other clans.
"So, is anyone going to join the Inuzuka clan? Those who aren't should start kneeling." Naruto could see that the clans were conflicted but turned to their leaders, who turned to Shikaku.
"What exactly did you do to them?" -Shikaku
"I made her kill her children over and over again, well not kill, torture. She tortured her beloved kids, in ten thousand ways, in that one second. Now, seeing that none of you are bowing, is it wrong of me to assume that you rather test your abilities against me?"
"You are indeed powerful, probably one of the most powerful people I've personally seen. However, you've threatened the Leaf Village that can't be forgiven."
"I don't want your forgiveness, but fine, I'll just make you obey me." Naruto said as he raised his hand before he noticed Iruka squirming his way towards him along the ground. "What the hell are you doing?" Iruka made his way to Naruto's feet and despite his annoyance, the Overlord returned the chunin's voice. "What could you possibly want to say to me now?"
"Th-that I forgive you." -Iruka stared with a weak smile.
"Excuse me?"
"I forgive you, for everything you've done. I know it's not your fault. You've been forced to be this way."
"No, I haven't. I chose to be this way because of you. Well technically it was because of Mizuki who was pretending to be you at the time. He called me a beast, a monster and made me realize what I was. I embraced that and killed him. I beat him to death and stole the Scroll of Sealing."
"Mizuki was troubled like you were, he held a unfair grudge against you. You were not, are not the nine-tailed fox, you are two very different beings. I do fear that whoever gave you that armor is only using you for the tailed beast's power."
"You already told me that and turns out you're wrong, that power is why they chose me but they also picked me because they knew what I could become."
"Did they even give you a choice Naruto? I bet they just had you do what they wanted and made you feel like they care."
"That's where you're wrong again. All they've been doing is making sure that I'm the strongest ninja in all the lands. I'm already immortal and I'm basically the most powerful ninja in all the lands already."
"Then why are you doing this? Why would you-...I know why, I know exactly why you're doing this."
"Of course, an Overlord needs subjects."
"Or a lonely orphan just wants to be loved, like we all do."
"Wh-what?"
"You want these people, no the entire Leaf Village to finally care about you since you never got so much attention when you were just you. You want the love of the community that shunned you, I also think that fellow over there is part of achieving a part of something you never had. I knew you weren't evil Naruto, all you want is a family, a loving community and to feel like you matter."
"...Iruka..." Naruto's hands became tightly made fists as he glared at Iruka.
"Whatever those people told you, don't believe it Naruto, you can come back from this, you're not evil you're just lonely as any kid would be in your situation. I'm guessing that's where Gaara comes in, he's like you isn't he?"
"Shut up Iruka."
"It's actually kind of sweet that our making your own family to keep you company."
"Shut up! I'm evil! I've always been evil and I will remain evil no matter what you say!"
"They put that word in your head Naruto, but that doesn't make it true. I don't believe you're evil, you're just a troubled kid who was taken advantage of."
"You...I hate you..." Naruto said with rage before he teleported himself and Gaara to the Minion Cavern, though in two very different areas.
Gaara was left alone in the throne room while the Overlord resides in the Minion Cavern Catacombs. Naruto sat in a dark corner, he didn't want to believe Iruka, not again. He was evil, he wasn't just some pathetic forgotten boy that no one cared about. He was a dark and terrible being, everything he did was pure evil though what Iruka said about making a family, he couldn't help but feel that he was right. However, if Iruka was right then he wasn't evil, he was just a strong boy throwing a tantrum. If he wasn't evil, then the minions wouldn't want him, they'd leave to find a more fitting master to obey.
"Lord? Are you down here? Ah, there you are. I too like to mull around in dark crevices. However, lord this is unlike you, is there something you need to talk about?" Quaver interrupted his master's thoughts as he entered the Minion Cavern Catacombs.
"No...maybe..."
"It is because of Iruka again?"
"Yeah..."
"And what did he say this time?"
"He said that I wasn't evil...that I was just a troubled orphan..."
"And what about that has troubled you so? Seems like you would kill someone if they ever called you that."
"Iruka is...different...I want to but I also don't I guess...it's complicated."
"I can imagine but back to the matter at hand, why are you down here Overlord? You have a village to conquer." Quaver said as he walked towards his lord, standing in front of him with a smile.
"Iruka said...that I'm not evil, that I just want a family...to be loved, I thought I got over his bull but he managed to get me again..."
"Ah I see what the true problem is lord, you don't know what it means to be evil."
"Great so I've been fucking it up since day one."
"I mean that in a more literal sense lord, someone who is truly evil will put their needs above everyone else's and will do anything to make sure they get what they want. Many evil doers, lord, all want the same thing, they want to be happy, whether it's having an enormous amount of money, or to be the most powerful or to be the best looking regardless of their ambitions, or to just simply exact revenge. It is not what you want lord, it is what you are willing to do to get what you want."
"Okay..."
"Still having qualms about your black heart? You love us lord, don't you, your servants of evil?"
"I guess, you are like my family...the first people who really thought I could be something."
"This includes Dimmer and Gaara doesn't it?"
"Yeah...well Gaara is more of a brother I guess, actually, I don't know what he is but brother is a good title."
"However, if I recall correctly you used Dimmer for a blood bath correct?"
"Yeah..."
"If he meant so much to you why would you put him through that ordeal?"
"I uh well I didn't fully enjoy it but I needed a few traits that he had. I had to do it, to make me stronger, honestly it was Mortis's idea."
"Do you regret such an action?"
"No...I mean he's fine, right?"
"Quite lord, I know Gnarl can be overbearing when it comes to evil, but you yourself needn't worry, to be good means to do things for others and expecting nothing of it. If you find yourself asking if 'I'm evil or not' ask yourself 'why am I doing this? Do I gain anything from this?' And remember lord It is not what you want, it is what you are willing to do to get it."
"You deserve something for putting me through these stupid things."
"They're not stupid, you're young, you're just now discovering yourself. More issues will arise throughout your life just know that we minions will always be by your side."
"Even if I go good or something?"
"Most likely."
"Really? Even if I made you guys help out people, you'd still serve me?"
"Well...yes, it is better to do something we hate with an Overlord than to do something we love without one."
"Oh, what if I wasn't the Overlord?"
"You will still be Overlord in our hearts, mostly because if that was the case, you not being our lord, it would mostly be because you are dead and not coming back for a very long time if at all."
"Hm. Well I'm not going to die anytime soon."
"No, you're not. With your perfect body, we don't have to fear the typical curse of the Overlord."
"The what?"
"Oh, just that we can never hang on to our beloved evil doers for too long but we don't have to worry about that. Even though, Danzo's dying wish could've have sealed you within his corpse." Quaver's last words were more to himself yet spoken quiet clearly.
"Thanks for reminding me to make Gnarl give me more overlording stones. I don't ever want to be out of commission."
"There's the lord I bow to, I do enjoy our talks. Oh, and while I have you lord, I would like to give you some advice regarding Gaara."
"Alright, what is it? I have no idea as to what I should do with him."
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know...I mean I know he's my Uhh assistant or something but.."
"Yes, my lord?"
"I don't know I can't help but feel like he's meant to be more...I don't mean to get weird on you though. What's your advice?"
"I was going to inform you that Gaara is in the same boat you are. He is new to all this but he is also very special, most of the uh guests an Overlord takes tend to be on the more bossy selfish side but Gaara, why he's the cream of the crop lord. Meaning he cares a big deal about you, he looks up to you."
"Really? I didn't think the law of attraction worked like that."
"It doesn't as far as I know, I believe your fate and Gaara's would be somehow entwined even without us minions."
"So, I should try to be nicer?"
"No no no lord, don't try to do anything, just feel it. You're the Overlord, do whatever you please and whenever you please. Don't fret about what other people think, including us but honestly lord, we think you are fantastic and always will."
"...thanks Quaver..."
"Anytime lord, now I believe you still have few things to do. And if you really want to do something with Gaara try doing something you both would enjoy."
"I'll keep that in mind." Naruto said as he got up, the Overlord looked down at Quaver before teleporting to the Throne Hall.
"Brother."-Gaara, surprised and relieved to see his lord.
"Brother..."
"Are we going back to the Leaf to make them suffer?"
"No, I'll deal with them tomorrow. We are going to the Daimyo, I want large sums of cash."
"Before you go lord, I suggest a protection spell to keep those ninjas at bay."-Gnarl
"Right." Naruto turns to the Cavern Heart and holds out his hands. With his and the Cavern Heart's magic Naruto created a barrier that grew and grew until it encompassed the entire Minion Cavern. "Good, now lets go."
"Understood, do you know where the Fire Daimyo is?"-Gaara asked as he looked to his powerful brother.
"Uh...no but, I know who will." Naruto teleported himself and Gaara to the Netherworld Throne Room. Naruto sat in his chair as Gaara stood to the side. Moments later, an image of Kakashi appeared.
"Ah Naruto good to see you again."-Kakashi said with a bow.
"He neglected your title."-Gaara said with hidden surprise as he glanced to his lord.
"Yes because I took control of him before the Chunin Exams, told him to act normal."
"Interesting, can you do that to all your underlings?"
"Yes. Now, Kakashi do you know the Daimyo of the uh Land of Fire?"
"Not personally."-Kakashi stated.
"Well do you know what he looks like?"
"Yes."
"Do you know where he is?"
"Not at this moment but he's probably in the Land of Fire's capital city."
"Okay and where is that? You know what just get me a map, and mark it, then contact me." The Overlord demanded causing the jonin to bow before disappearing. "Guess we have time to kill."
"Brother, later, after you have taken over the Daimyo and the Leaf Village, what shall we do then if we're not to deal with the Leaf Village?"
"Our work is never done Gaara, after we deal with these things, the next thing on my list is to find the other seven that are like us."
"They will be part of our family, I have to admit, I prefer it to be just the two of us."
"...it won't be as simple but it will still be worth while...brother."
"I have faith it will."
"If you're really that bothered... perhaps we should do something... just the two of us."
"I would like that, what would we do?"
"I don't know what do you want to do?"
"Destroy my place of birth."
"Well...alright, but it'll have to wait."
"That is fine brother."
"Naruto, Naruto, there you are I have a map of the five great shinobi countries and marked the capital of each country." -Kakashi said as he reappeared in the Netherworld.
"Good work, show it to me." Naruto said as Kakashi reveled the map. The Overlord held out his hand and by the time his eyes glanced down, the map was in his grasp. "You are dismissed Kakashi."
The Overlord opened the map and examined it. As he tried to figure out how to get to the capital, the map started to shudder in his hands. Out of curiosity, Naruto let go of the map, which flew up high into the stone ceiling. The map grew and widened before stretching itself downward a few feet away from the Overlord.
Looking over the large map, the Overlord took notice of the fire capital. The spot was marked which had was also glowing. When Naruto stood up, the map rolled to the top and the Nether Portal activated. The Overlord glanced to his brother and they both headed for the portal.
Just outside the city a waypoint gate appeared. Both Naruto and Gaara emerged from it, with Gaara just behind him. Naruto walked off of the waypoint gate and walked a few steps to the main entrance. Gaara stood by Naruto before Naruto took a step forward and immediately stopped.
"It is such a shame lord."-Dimmer
"What is?"-Naruto, I going the guards pointing their spears at him.
"That you have to do everything, you deserve to enjoy a leisurely trip now and then. To let me drive you to such establishments in style lord and let you not have to worry about a thing."
"Its faster to teleport and you're not really built for two."
"You can upgrade me sire-"
"I can do what? Explain I thought I could only do that to weapons and minions." Naruto said as he tossed the guards to the side.
"Brother, who are you talking to?"-Gaara
"Dimmer."
"You can upgrade more than just that with the Cavern Heart fully charge you can upgrade all your rooms aside from rooms like your treasures and weapon inventory. You can upgrade me by upgrading the stable, you can talk to the stable minion to do such a thing."-Dimmer
"Fine, I'm curious now anyway." Naruto said before he created a clone, who teleported to the Cavern Stables.
~Clone~
The clone entered the stables to see Dimmer sitting on a pile of hay in a poorly made wooden pen and a stable minion standing to the side in rags.
"Going for a ride mastah?"-Stable Minion
"I want to upgrade the stables..."
"Yes mastah." The stable minion pulls out a scroll and opens it up fully to expose the upgrade. The scroll read: stable upgrade one, 1,500 ryo.
"Alright so you want 1,500 ryo huh? Alright." Naruto held out his hand and a sack of coins appeared in his hand.
"All mastah, has to do is touch it to obtain the upgrade."
"Oh." The bag of coins disappeared back to the Treasury as Naruto knelt down. The Overlord touched the sentence which glowed before a check mark appeared beside it. Naruto looked up to see that the stable had changed, it was still made with wood but looked decently built. Dimmer also had a change as he now had the appropriate gear instead of the bare necessities. A new title appeared on the stable minion's scroll, stable upgrade two, 3,000 ryo.
Naruto touched the sentence and it was accepted, before he looked up he saw that there was another upgrade added to the scroll.
The stable itself was now re-enforced with steal, Dimmer had bits of armor on his body and there was a brand new pen. In the pen between Dimmer and the stable minion was a black half buggy. Naruto was amazed at the new additions and quickly upgrade the stable for a third time, paying the 4,500. The third upgrade changed the stable's color, now being of black wood, Dimmer having full armor and the buggy now having a covering with open spaces as windows. The fourth upgrade was 6,000 ryo but it was bought immediately, turning the full yet crude buggy into a refined red and black stagecoach.
Naruto sighed as he looked around but he caught something as the stable minion, in a simple suit with a top hat and cape, closed the scroll. Naruto had the Stable Minion keep the scroll open and saw that there was another upgrade but it was written in pink.
"Why is this in pink?"
"I believe the heart had some extra magic and is channeling it to give one an extra upgrade on the stable."-Dimmer
"Oh, cool." Naruto touched the mystical sentence, paying the 7,500 ryo. The stage coach in particular had become a large carriage befitting a king. It was black with real glass windows, that had red curtains bundled at the top of the window. There were gold lanterns positioned just one either side of the windows. There were six strong black wheels with gold rims re-enforced with metal.
"Why don't you hop inside lord? Let me give you a proper entrance to this city capital."-Dimmer
"Well I did drop 22,500 ryo on this so, why the hell not. Do I get in or talk to-"
"Going on a trip Overlord?"-Stable Minion spike up as he put the scroll away.
"Yes, I'm going to the capital."
"Just you my lord?"
"...no, Gaara's coming with me."
"Yes, very good, please step inside the carriage."
Naruto looked up from the fancy dresses minion to see Dimmer already attached to the carriage and said carriage had its rear end towards him. The next thing he knew he was inside the carriage and across from him was Gaara. The inside of the carriage was more impressive than the outside with its small candle lit gold chandelier in the center of the ceiling and the cushions on the royal seats that had yellow laced borders. The walls had a beautiful design carved into them but Naruto attention was pulled away from observation by his brother.
"Where am I?"-Gaara asked as he looked around, sitting just to the left of the door.
"We're back in the Minion Cavern, we're riding there, even though we were just there. I mentioned that I was riding with you and here you are, couldn't have you just standing there bored waiting me."
"What are we in? It appears to be what the Daimyo would be in but seems far more regal."
"It's just uh uhh oh it's a carriage, and a royal one at that. Dimmer wanted me to ride in style so I upgraded him a few times and this it maxed out. It does look nice so I can't complain that much, the only real down side is that it's a bit slower than just teleporting there but this is really comfortable." Naruto said as he laid along the cushioned seats. Having his hands behind his head with his eyes closed.
"I never believed I'd experience such luxuriant travels." Gaara said as he looked out his window, which had two small windows just besides it.
"Yeah neither did I..." Naruto said as he opened his eyes, staring at the ceiling. There was a beautifully painted portrait, it took a few moments but the Overlord saw that it was of him, Gaara and the minions. "I can do whatever I want...guess that means I should want for more stuff huh?"
"There are many things in this world that we have yet to experience or know about, but it is just a matter of time."
"I guess, so after this, wanna destroy Suna?"
"So soon?"
"I'm in a good mood."
"I see, and brother, yes I do."
The ride to the capital city wasn't that long, only a few hours, and the two didn't feel the road's effects on the carriage as it raced through the Land of Fire. Dimmer ran through the capital entrance, the Overlord banner waving proudly at the top of the carriage. He ran until he came to a tall building. There was a gate preventing just anyone to enter the official office but it was easily broken down with a magical charge from the dark unicorn.
The carriage came to a stop and the young duo was notified of that. The door opened from the outside, Naruto walked out and walked down the small steps leading to the ground.
Gaara followed his brother and the two looked up to the tower before glancing at each other. The two walked up the staircase as people came to check out the commotion. Naruto walked passed them until he entered the circular lobby of building. Looking up he could see the guardrails of each floor, he could easily just float to each floor if he wanted to.
"Uh excuse me but do you have an appointment?" The receptionist said with some hesitation. The Overlord plunged his hand into their chest and pulled out the heart.
"Where's the Daimyo?"-The Overlord asked the burning heart.
"Thirty second floor, his door has his name on it." The receptionist stated.
"Good." Naruto held onto the heart as he floated into the air, bringing Gaara with him.
"Hey Gaara Uh never-mind the Daimyo is the only one who can really give me what I want."
The two land on the thirty second floor, the Daimyo's office was guarded by two shinobi, who were thrown over the side.
The Overlord entered the office of the Daimyo, which had a number of people inside.
"Who are you?"-one of the assistants asked.
"I know you, you're that Naruto fellow, you were in the Chunin Exams. And that is Gaara of the Desert, isn't it? What business do you have with me?"
"It Overlord now, and you will call me such or I'll toss you out that god damn window."
"You can't speak to the Daimyo like that, show some respect."-An assistant reprimanded.
"Like this." Naruto said as he opened his palm in the direction of the assistant, who was flung out of the window. The glass shattering at the force of impact, the assistant just fell and fell until hitting the court yard, the four other assistants gather around the window.
"You-you murdered him..."-Assistant 2.
"Yep, now I demand a daily tribute of wealth for me not laying this city and the rest of the nation to dust. I could force you but I'm giving you a chance to do this of your own free will."
"I see, and how do you expect me to just give you a set amount of every day like some debt collector?"-Daimyo
"Like how you give money to the Leaf Village, which is under my control-"
"They wouldn't elect someone as young and ill-mannered as you Hokage without me, Jirairya was going to be new Hokage of the Leaf I just have to talk to the council about it."
"Jirariya? Who's that?"
"The one of the three Sanin...now if that is all-"
"Nice try, but I'm not leaving until you agree to pay me what I want, now since you're rich why not 1 million ryo?"
"1 million? I don't pay that much to the Leaf Village at all!"
"Yeah well you annoy me, so I bumped up the price."
"That's absurd!"
"Oh, what am I doing? I'm too relaxed." Naruto stretched out his form, cracking his neck and rolling his shoulders before getting down to business. Naruto walked towards the Daimyo, who was poorly protected by his assistants.
The Overlord put the Daimyo under a genjutsu, a jutsu mentally trapping the Daimyo with the horrific Nine Tailed Fox. The Daimyo suffered the assaults of rage rarely seen by mortals, it wasn't real but it was hard to tell if that made it better or worse.
Naruto crosses his arms as the Daimyo stared at the nothing, his blank facial expression concealing the abuse he's suffering. Naruto looked back to Gaara, who looked at him in return.
"Does the Sand have a Daimyo?"
"Yes, but he's not one to spare a penny to the sand village, which was the main reason for the invasion."
"Do you know where he is?"
"I do not, but I'm sure the Fire Daimyo could tell you about the other Daimyos."
"Oh, I didn't think it was a tight circle, I wonder if I could visit all of them today. Each giving me a million ryo, oh that would make today redeemable." Naruto said with a smirk as he looked up and out the large window behind the Daimyo.
A disturbance caught the evil duo's attention, it was a group of ninja.
"You will not get out of here alive."-Ninja
"I'm immortal." Naruto stated as he held up his hand, making a tightly closed fist. The ninjas were smashed together and grew closer and closer, bones breaking as pressure forced their bodies together. Blood came from their various orifices as Naruto opened and closed his fist repeatedly. After the fifth fist, Naruto released them, letting the mangled bloody pool of bodies fall to floor. He glanced over to Gaara who was staring at the blood pooling around the forcibly conjoined ninjas. "You can kill the next ones. Guess I should release him for now, see if he's more willing to my demands. Release." The Daimyo's body tensed and shot up in alertness, he quickly noted the three things in the room, the Overlord, the bloody mess, and Gaara. The older male looked back to the blood mashed together ninjas. "Hey, do we have a deal?"
"What? Oh y-yes y-yes, we have a deal...it was 1,000,000 ryo correct?" The Daimyo asked in a slow shakier voice.
"Correct."
"And you want that in ca-cash or check?"
"Hmm good question." Naruto thought to himself before he heard Gnarl's voice.
"Greetings lord, I believe an old friend is coming to aid you."-Gnarl informed.
"Huh who-?" Naruto asked before a chest appeared beside him, it was golden with various jewels incrusted in it and the word Overlord across the top. Naruto knelt down and picked up the rectangular shaped chest. The lock on the front was in the shape of a minion's head, a classic symbol. Naruto tilted it from one side to the other before holding it with one hand and opening it with another. The interior had purple fabric but was otherwise empty. "Uhhh oh..."
"Wh-what's that?"-The Daimyo asked worriedly.
"Shut up." Demanded the Overlord. "...Loot Goblin?...uhuh...Alright." Naruto glanced down to the Daimyo who was avoiding any type of eye contact." You, you will put 1 million ryo in here in cash or jewels."
"That box doesn't look like it can fit some much ryo."
"I didn't ask your opinion!-actually let's test that, you have a bank in this city right?" Naruto said as the Daimyo swallowed the lump of fear in his throat.
"Ye-yes..."
"Good." Naruto raised an arm and with a quick whip of the hand, teleported the three of them in front of the bank. "How much money is in here?"
"I can't recall the direct amount but around 36 million..."
"All of that is currently in the bank huh?" Naruto said, getting a nod from the Daimyo. "Gaara stay here, make sure the Daimyo doesn't go anywhere, oh and feel free to kill anyone who tries to run away." Naruto said as he walked into the large capital bank.
"Understood." Gaara said as he glanced at the Daimyo, making a shiver go up his spine.
The Overlord entered the bank, the various people in the line looked at him. The Overlord glared at them and at the security standing in plain daylight. The Overlord looked to one of the guards and used magic to force him over. A hand entered his chest and removed his heart without leaving a mark on his body. "Where's the money kept and who has keys or whatever is needed to get it?"
The guard just pointed to one of the tellers, who was then teleported before the Overlord. The Overlord then obtained a new heart and had the vault keeper open the vault. The Overlord stood before the opening vault, the hearts disappearing as he used both hands to hold the Loot Goblin's chest. The Overlord walked into the vault, looking at the gold bricks and wrapped up blocks of cash. The Overlord smiled as he never saw so much money in one place, of which would be all his.
The Overlord opened the chest and set it on the ground. The Overlord uplifted bars of gold and stacks of bills on top of the golden chest, and watched with glee as the chest released a yellow glow, consuming the money. It was only a matter of seconds before that sum of money was gone, leaving so much more to be devoured. The Overlord piled on the stacks of cash and gold bricks where got consumed almost as fast as they were piled. The entire vault was cleaned out within four minutes, though it was a non-stop process, The Overlord was hardly tired, and the constant telekinesis made only a dent in his mana pool but nothing to be worried about.
The Overlord walked out of the bank, the box having lived up to its name, the Loot Consumer. There was still a fair amount of people inside the bank, the Overlord thought a few more people would have tried to escape if not all of them but he was wrong. The Overlord didn't pay much mind to it when he exited the bank, only then seeing the blood and on the pavement.
"Did you have fun brother?"-The Overlord asked cheekily as he walked down the staircase, collecting the 38 brown life force.
"It was somewhat enjoyable. Crushing the lives of those who are stronger would be more meaningful but I'm not ungrateful, brother." -Gaara replied.
"Why don't you wreak havoc inside, I need to talk with the Daimyo anyway."
"Thank you, brother." Gaara said as he walked up the reddened staircase and into the bank.
"Now, old man, you were concerned that this box, the Loot Consumer, couldn't hold a million ryo...it just ate what was it? 36 million ryo? And did so in just a few minutes."
"Then you are satisfied..."
"What? Oh that? That had nothing to do with what you owe me, that was just to make my point. You have till the end of the day to give me a million ryo or what you suffered will be far worse. If you don't meet the deadline, I'll destroy the lives of everyone in this city and then just plunder the country side." The Overlord exclaimed as screams of terror could be heard from inside the bank. "Just like what my brother is doing. Oh, hold out your hand."
"Okay..." The Daimyo held out a shaking palm which was then stabbed with a enchanted kunai, which disappeared immediately after the fact. "Ah! What was that?" The Daimyo said holding his wrist and clenching his palm.
"A way to make sure you never ran away. Now, about the other Daimyos, I need to know what they look like and where they are."
"You are going to bankrupt the five great nations?"
"Hm, didn't think of it like that but yeah, why the hell not? Now, talk."
"You may be a monster with incredible power but I can't doom the entire ninja world..."
"Fine, if you won't do it willingly, I'll just rip out your heart and double the price." The Overlord said as he bared his clenched fingers and took a step closer to the backing away Daimyo.
"You... even if you find them, and even control them you'll never get what you want, there are organizations built to take out people like you and they will succeed." The Daimyo said as he backed away, his voice and eyes filled with fear.
"Really now? They can kill an immortal? Stop the all-powerful? I don't think so, but I'm in a good mood, I'll let you keep your heart. It's just 2 million ryo now and you can tell me where the Sand Daimyo is? You see I'm going to destroy the Sand Village so he will be useless in a matter of hours."
"Is the Leaf Village going to suffer the same fate?"
"No, I own the Leaf Village. I'm done debating with you, you're either with me or against me and you know what will happen if you're against me."
"...2 million...very well...I'll give you 2 million ryo...and about the Sand Daimyo, he resides in the capital of the Land of Wind, which is-"
"Just mark it on this map." The Overlord said as he held out a miniature map in his hands, showing it to the Daimyo. The Daimyo accepted the map and was then handed a pen with fresh ink on it. The Daimyo marked the map before handing it back.
The screams stopped from within the bank and Gaara walked out of it, not a discoloration on his attire. The Overlord took the map as he demanded a description of Sand Daimyo. After which, the Daimyo was dismissed and given the Loot Consumer.
"You're giving him that strange box? Why?"-Gaara asked as he stepped down to the Overlord's side.
"That strange box is the Loot Consumer, a special treasure chest that is bottomless and puts money directly into my treasury. It was a gift from the Loot Goblin."
"What is or perhaps who is the Loot Goblin?"
"Apparently, a goblin that rewards evil deeds with large sums money, he resides in the Netherdeep but that is not too important, I have no reason to even care about that area. So, we should be going."
"To where?"
"Suna. Well, should we find the Daimyo or the destroy the city, I have a feeling you already have an idea."
"I rather we destroy Suna however, it can be a celebration after you persuade the Wind Daimyo to obey your demands."
"A celebration huh? I like that, now to- oh that was fast, was just about to- well doesn't matter now." Naruto said as his dark carriage appeared just before him and Gaara. The two entered, Naruto entering first then Gaara. Naruto took his seat when he looked at his hand to see that the map was gone, he guessed it was in the claws of the conductor.
"Brother, when are we going to find the others? The ones that are like us?"
"Hmm, soon, after I deal with all the annoyances of today. Ugh and I still have one more blood bath to do."
"I wouldn't worry Overlord, you'll be victorious." Gaara stated as the carriage raced onward.
The Land of Wind was reached within a few hours, not even sunset yet when the chariot arrived in the Wind's capital.
The Overlord entered the large office with Gaara by his side, the building was different but it made no difference. Stealing a heart, the Overlord found out where the Wind Daimyo was. Gaara was told to keep the area secure and too kill who ever tried to escape. The Overlord made his way to the Daimyo, disposing of the guards that tried to stop him, collecting their life force as he walked.
The Overlord entered the Daimyo's office, surprising the man and his client.
"Who are you? I'm in a meeting right now."-The Daimyo said as he stood up, slamming his palms on his desk.
"Does your client have lots of money?"
"What is the meaning of this? Guards!"
"They're dead, so I'll just assume yes." The Overlord walked over to the client and ripped out their heart. "Go gather all your money and bring it to the Daimyo by the end of the day." The Overlord ordered, which the client went to go do at once. "Good, now for you."
"What did you just do?"
"You're going to give me 2 million ryo by the end of the day."
"What!? 2 million ryo!? Are you out of your mind!? I'm not giving you 2 hundred ryo let alone 2 million!"
"So, your heart is forfeit then? Fine by me." The Overlord said as he moved closer to the Daimyo, standing before his desk.
"No! You stay away from me! Don't come any closer! Perhaps we can make a deal?"
"And what are you willing to give me?"
"Uhh um what about 50,00 ryo?"
"What? No. I'm ripping out your heart."
"You can't do that, I'm a Daimyo- gah!" The Wind Daimyo painfully looked down to see the Overlord hand in his chest, tightly clutching his heart.
"I'm the Overlord, I can do whatever I want." The Overlord stated as he ripped out the man's heart, watching the flaming organ in his hand. The Overlord stood up on the desk from his kneeling position. "Now go get me...all of your money. Meet up with that other guy so he and you can put all your money in this." The Overlord glanced down to a Loot Consumer by his feet on the desk. "Then for the following days do whatever you have to do to get me my daily 2 million ryo."
"Yes, my lord...what do I say to people who question my actions?"
"Tell them...you crossed the Overlord and are paying the price. Now, go." The Wind Daimyo stood up and took the Loot Consumer on his way out. The Overlord smirked under his mask before he teleported to Gaara, standing beside him in his circle of sand. The floor around them was littered with blood and life-force.
The Overlord stomped on the ground, a glowing circling appearing around them and in the center of it was the face of the minion. From the glowing summoning circle, brown minions emerged and gathered all the wind life-force, there being a total of 120.
"What are they doing to those corpses?"-Gaara asked.
"Taking their life force, only I and the minions can see, well unless you had a helmet of your own, they're just balls of light but with them I can create more minions."
"Oh interesting, you told me about life force and how every living thing has it and hinted to that it appears life force is based on the environment."
"Environment and range of jutsu. Well we're done here, let's go to the Sand Village. I believe a celebration is in order." The Overlord said as he turned around to walk out the front door. Gaara walked behind him with a massive internal smile.
When all the life force was collected, the minions returned to the summoning circle and sunk into the ground, with all the minions gone, the circle shrunk into nothingness.
The trip to the Hidden Sand Village was a breeze for the brothers of evil, and only took about an hour for Dimmer to reach. Gaara was keenly looking out of his window, seeing part of a familiar wall.
"We're here..."-Gaara, seeing the familiar sands of the Sand Village.
"You ready?"
"Yes, I have wanted this for some time, my only regret is that my father isn't alive to suffer the loss of his precious village."
The Overlord just smiled at that statement as they entered the sand village. "Stop the carriage." Naruto said as he turned his head to look forward, Dimmer immediately stopped. "Back up, to the entrance." The Overlord's wish was granted and when it was the Overlord stood up.
"What are you doing brother?" Gaara asked honestly.
"This is your big day, should be perfect." The Overlord said as he exited his royal chariot, being followed by an intrigued Gaara. The Overlord stepped out and was greeted by a platoon of guards surrounding his vehicle. The Overlord ignored what they were saying while he waited for Gaara to join his side. When the red head did, he could see a paleness creep up on the faces of the guards before him.
"Lord, don't sully your magnificent hands with these peons, you have the entire village to deal with, let me take care of these fools."-Dimmer said, turning his head to his master.
"You think you can handle them?" Naruto asked, feeling skeptical.
"I assure you my lord, I will send them on a painful journey to the afterlife for you and have their life force remain fresh in the carriage awaiting your return."
"Alright but if you get overwhelmed just rush into the city and find us."
"Understood my master."
"Let's go, Gaara."
"We can't let you enter the city." One member of the platoon of six said as the rest of the platoon stood in front of malevolent entities.
The Overlord looked to Dimmer, who rose his front half before stomping his hooves and firing a beam of concentrated evil. The beam struck the sand shinobi at the end before sliding to the side, slicing the sand ninja in half.
"Hmph, sorry for doubting you, I'll have you take care of those guards too then." The Overlord, referring to the shinobi rushing towards them from the cleft between the mountains.
The Overlord teleported himself and Gaara to the top of right hand mountain, before he created four other clones. The clones went to the center points of the ridge, one at the north, across from the entrance, one at the west, one at the east and the original hovered at the south. The four clones rose their hands up parallel from the ground. After a gathering of magic, the various Overlords were connected by a green stream that shot out from the south clone then went to one clone to the next. Maintaining the fully formed ring of magic, the overlords in unison lowered it to the ground, the ring encompasses the entire Sand Village as it descended to the ground.
The original stood with Gaara, on the outside of the magical ring which had descended. Gaara turned to his brother, knowing that there was reason for such a theatrical move.
"What did you do brother?" -Gaara
"Made sure no one can escape. We're going to kill everyone."
The thought sent a rush of joy up Gaara's spine, making a wide twisted smirk crawl on to his face.
"A delightful notion brother."
"How do you want to do it? Transform ourselves into our beasts or just go down the streets murdering everyone we come across."
"The second one brother, I want to savor their destruction, let their screams and terrified faces appear in the blackness of night to aid my slumber."
The Overlord smirked under his helmet as he looked to Gaara. The Overlord then looks down at the village hidden in the sand and began to take off his armor. The Overlord stood beside his eager brother in his leather under suit with only his helmet minion gauntlet and cod piece.
"You really want to strike fear? We let them know we're here and why and that there's nothing they can do to stop us. They can only try to run into a dead end."
"Then let us do that brother, I suspect you already have a way?"
The Overlord rose his hand then slammed it on the edge of the mountain his was on, a crack appeared then spread then went down the front of the mountain. The sound of earth breaking truly caught everyone's attention and what they saw was a massive crack stretching down the mountain side. It was a jagged line that shattered the mountain side. The earth parted to a degree before it reached the ground. People flocked to see the disturbing sight and when enough people came out or gathered in horror, the Overlord stood up straight with crossed arms.
"People of Suna, I am the Overlord, this is my brother, Gaara, and we are your executioners. Today is the day you all die for your actions against my disturbed brother. Any words or pleas of mercy will be ignored, run, flee but you won't get far, for the only way out is your death. Any words to add brother?"
"Today is the day I paint the sands red with your blood, today is the day you all will disappear!" Gaara announced as sand erupted from his gourd. People immediately began to run, the only ones who didn't were the trained ninjas. The Overlord watched with a smirk as the square of three were met with a wave of sand.
"If you really want to savor it, you can crush them slowly, see if you can hear their bones pop and shatter from here." The Overlord suggested as the sand shinobi were trapped within sand coffins. Gaara took the advice and slowly closed his raised fist, hearing the shinobi scream in pain. As they screamed, from the side of his eye, the Overlord saw a group of puppets flying through the air towards them.
That squad of puppets wasn't the only one, soon there was a full army of various puppets and humans before them. Gaara and the Overlord looked upon them unimpressed, as the first group were being crushed to death. The triple sand burial was interrupted when pairs of puppets sprayed the sand coffins with water. Both the Overlord and Gaara watched in silent surprise as the sand coffins melted to the floor, becoming useless to one tail jinchuuriki.
"What happened?" The Overlord asked, somewhat confused.
"They made my sand too heavy to control but that won't be enough to stop me." Gaara stated as he glared at the sand ninja.
"A little challenge will make this more interesting but they have ruined the start of our celebration." The Overlord said as puppets and ninjas raced towards.
"Such an insult. It cannot be allowed." Gaara said with a twisted smile and with playfully menacing tone.
"First, I hate these little toys, I thought they cool at first but now I just find them ugly and in the way." The Overlord said as he made everything in front of him freeze in whatever position they were in. The other hand was raised before it became a tightly held fist. All the puppets broke into many pieces that rained down on the ground below. "Second, I think it's a little too crowded, this is an exclusive party, isn't it?" The Overlord said as he looked to Gaara, whose smile grew and grew.
"You're a playful one brother but I can't say I disagree. Sand Tsunami." Gaara put his palms together as a wave a sand began to raise high before him and his brother. The army of sand shinobi were forced into the ground before them as the wave began to curve. The Overlord released the mass as Gaara's sand crashed into the village. It ran over the ninja and the buildings as it spread itself out within the village. When the wave leveled out, it was as high as half the height of the buildings. Gaara jumped down from the ridge and landed on the sand where he put his hands on the new sandy floor. "Great Sand Burial." A series of shockwaves ran over his sand, shaking the very land around him.
The Overlord teetered back and forth, surprised by the magnitude of Gaara's jutsu. When the shaking stopped, only lasting a few seconds, life force littered the top layer of Gaara's sand. The Overlord jumped down to join his rising brother.
"Impressive I didn't know you could do that."
"You inspire me brother. I suspect you'll summon your demons to collect the life force? There is life force isn't there since I killed all those people?"
"Oh, there is a lot of life force here, it is everywhere but a clone can do the collecting we can move on." The Overlord said as he created a clone to do the summoning of minions. The two brothers walked across Gaara's sand, they didn't get far before the latest Kazekage and an even larger force of shinobi stood before them.
"Gaara...and you're that Naruto brat." -Baki stated as he looked at the brothers.
"Brat? I'm the overlord! I didn't get this title by being a brat I got it by killing countless people and speaking of countless, there are a lot more of you than I thought." The Overlord looked at the horde of ninja and groaned.
"You will feel the wrath of the Sand Village, both of you will not escape with your lives."
"Don't be so distraught brother, think of it as there is so much life force for you." Gaara said, not losing his sadistic smile as he eyed Baki.
"Yeah, also a lot of work and not the kind I want to do by hand, we'll be here all day. Time to show them how hopeless their situation is. Let's invite some party guests of our own." The Overlord said as rose one hand and held the other out. The Overlord stepped on the ground, making a pentagram appear before he chopped off his hand and thrusted his bleeding wrist into the pentagram edge. "From the blackest pits of the underworld, from the punishing flames of hell, I summon thee'. Demons, destroy the lives of these pitiful weaklings!" The Overlord shouted as the pentagram flowed a dark purple and his arm began losing color due to the blood being sucked out from it.
Demons of all kinds emerged from the portal whether they walked, crawled, floated, or flew out. The Overlord bit his bottom lip to keep himself from letting out a pained groan as blood was being drained out of his body in great quantities. Gaara stood amazed at the sky filled with various types of winged demons and the ground became overrun with ground with even more demons.
"I didn't know you were capable of this brother, there are so many of them."
"Hm, now my demons kill them, kill them all." The Overlord demanded as he pried his wrist from the summoning circle. The Overlord stood to his feet as his army of demons attacked the ninja of Suna.
"Your hand brother, are you going to be alright?"
"I'll be fine." With a quick movement of his gloved fingers, the Overlord's ungloved hand appeared in his gloved one. The hand was reattached, the black tendrils sewing it back in place. The Overlord clenched and unclenched the fingers of his newly attached hand before observing his demons.
The weakest demons, armed only with their teeth and claws often jumped and slashed their claws at the body, until it fell or they were fatally stopped. Claws made their way through flesh and teeth found temporary homes in the still living bones of shinobi. The ones that had tentacles would choke and throttle its victims, human or puppet, it would squeeze the life out of them then move one to the next.
The lowest level of airborne demons attacked in pairs as they were the smallest aerial demons, the size of a large child. They used the distracting ground forces to swoop down and attack the distracted ninja. These ninja, were ones that just dispatched of a demon, or just broken away from one or were saved by another ninja. Those ninja were then bitten at the neck or mauled while being carried high into the sky, where they were eventually dropped.
The mid-tier ground demons had weapons and used them, a few had special abilities of their own that they used to get the upper hand. Similarly, the mid-tier airborne demons could take on humans all on their own and descend upon with great fury. These demons varied in size, one was utterly massive and blocked out the sun with others were the dive of its talons. Something the mid-tier had above the low tier demons where their durability and evasiveness.
Blood and bodies fell, human, puppet and demon-alike, it was a fierce battle, the humans had more numbers but the demons had power and unpredictable abilities. Some humans fared better than others and the same could be said for the demons however what tipped the scale was the Suna's Wind Division, with their combined might a large-scale wind scythe jutsu was released upon the horde.
Wind ripped through flesh as it rode down the battlefield, slashing and tearing bodies apart. The second combined effort was directed upward at all the air borne demons who met similar fates as the ones on the ground.
"My demons!? Those bastards! The first time I really get to use that spell and ugh they're gone just like that."
"They will pay with their lives brother."-Gaara
"Yes, they will but, not before I test out the ones you helped me create." Naruto said as he looked to Gaara, who returned the favor.
"The Wind minions? I've been curious when you would see them, I have also been curious about how the minions fare in real combat, most of the minions seem like servants."
"They are both, fighters and servants to the Overlord." The Overlord said before using the multi shadow clone jutsu to create an army of himself. The army's primary goal was to collect all the life force from the area but a few couldn't help themselves and bypassed the folding fan wielders.
The Overlord looked over his shoulder to see his clones running about, collecting life force while one clone told the first clone what to do. All the minions summoned were swapped out for the newest minion, the wind based minions. Fifteen wind minions emerged, four of them were the first created while the others were freshly spawned from the hive. The wind minions went to their truest master, the original, who was standing beside Gaara.
The wind minions were uniquely different from the other minion tribes, they had wings, large fleshy wings for arms with four claws in the center of them. Their legs were small but their feet were large. Their talons were large and sharp, four were pointed forwards while there were two in the back of the foot.
Despite their avian-like qualities there were still notable similarities to the other tribes. Their heads and faces were mostly the same despite having shorter ears, black eyes and a smaller nose. Their large bodies were also the same as the others just their skin was a silver color.
The five-foot-tall wind minions stood beside their Overlord, being just a little shorter than their always changing master.
"So, you guys can fly huh? Hmm you look like you could even fly me around. Heh, on to the matter at hand, you are resistant to wind type jutsus and wind type magic, right?" The Overlord received a nod from his avian minions. "Well then let's put you to the test, show me what you can do but work together, these aren't opponents you can take lightly."
The silver winged minions flapped their arms, pushing themselves off of the ground. The silver minions flew towards the wind Division who combined their power once again. This time however, all their jutsu did was keep the minions in place, teetering to the side as they kept their positions. Before the jutsu fully washed over them, the minions inhaled a deep breath of the chakra infused air. It was only kept in their mouths for a moment before small spherical bullets shot from their mouths. The bullets pierced the raging wind and the casters within moments, in such high volleys each of the folding fan wielders where struck several times.
The silver minions flapped their arms, gaining height before they started to whistle. The Wind Division fell to the ground as the many of the Suna shinobis stared up at the minions, unable to move the smallest inch. The silver minions flew over the shinobi, whistling in sync with each other. Their tune of choice was a powerful genjutsu, the Phantom Sound Chains, which imprisoned all who heard it.
Having their minds protected by the mind ritual, Gaara and the Overlord, were protected from the genjutsu. The two however did feel headaches but it ended the second the silver minions stopped whistling.
"My head, what was that?"-Gaara asked.
"That was a genjutsu, that must be what all the whistling was." The Overlord said as he watched the silver minions take in deep breaths of air, enough that their bellies expand. "Remember the ritual that protects you from Shukaku? Well it also protects against any type of genjutsu. What we feel is the chakra hitting the magical barrier that protects our minds, it's annoying but better than actually getting affected by the actual genjutsu."
"Interesting that's good to know." Gaara said as he watched the silver minions fire Drilling Air Bullets down at the stationary shinobi, each silver firing one powerful wind bullet, which exploded in ripping currents upon impact. "That jutsu...it's Shukaku's how do they know such a powerful technique?"
"I have no idea how they get what jutsu but I can't complain, though I guess it is a shame they only know three but for being hybrids it's still pretty cool."
"Hybrids? Oh, yes. Gnarl informed me that they used to be magical but now they are both magical and chakra based."
"Yep."
"We also studied the wind minions and now that your using them in battle, I believe I should inform you what we found out about them. These...minions are able to fly as you saw, they have sharp talons that they like to use latch onto others with then spin themselves around. Gnarl has called this the vortex effect as it traps their victims in a breathless vortex. They are skilled fliers with great accuracy but brother they are far sighted and should be kept in the sky or at a safe distance. If an opponent gets too close to them and they are not aware of such, they won't see them. Luckily if they know that they are in a fight and they can't see the opponent, they will use that genjutsu to immobilize the target before drawing back to properly attack them. They are best kept at a distance and we have also been experimenting with their strength, they can carry one minion with their talons but they are much slower and won't be able to use their vortex effect."
"Neat anything else?"
"Yes. These silver minions work differently with each minion. With Browns, they will carry a brown and hurl them at a target when the brown is going to perform a close combat attack, this increases the power of the move. With Greens the silver minions will try to drop them on top of a target so the greens can use their backstab attack. With Blues the silver minions are less aggressive and will fly to recently deceased minions so the blue can heal them. With Reds, the silver minions are much more aggressive and often boost the red's Phoenix Flower Jutsu with either of their two wind jutsu. The reds and silver minions are a deadly combination however since the silvers like to be high up, if it is knocked down this often kills the red minion and would also kill whatever minion it would be carrying regardless if the silver survives."
"I'll still love to test that out but for right now, I believe it is your move, kill them."
"Gladly brother." Gaara fully turned to face the hordes of Suna ninja before he put his hands on the ground. The sand shinobi began sinking into the ground below them.
"Wait, where's your family or the people you knew more personally?"
"What about them, brother? They are about to be dead."
"Yes, but they're in a genjutsu, don't let them die like that. They should be fully aware that you are the one killing them. You want them to look at you with fear and horror in their final moments. I mean it's a much more personal kill that way."
"...I like the way your mind works brother, I do want to see them fear me as they slowly sink into the earth. Can you call the silvers back so they can release those weaklings that knew me?"
"Sure." The Overlord said as he rose his minion gauntlet, calling the silver minions to him, the avian minions turned around and flew towards their master, circling over his head just a few feet before landing around him. Gaara told the silver minions what he wanted them to do and what the people in the small circle of connections looked like. Temari, Kankuro and Kazekage Baki were released from the genjutsu. Temari was very injured from the assault from the silvers' first attack the Wind Sphere even though she shifted her body so none of the bullets that struck her were fatal. The silvers were then commanded by the Overlord to retrieve Baki, Temari, and Kankuro, who were to be dropped before Gaara so he can painfully execute them. The silver minions eagerly took to the air to make their master proud.
The three were brought before the dark brothers but only Temari was brought over without complications. Both Kankuro and Baki struggled, Kankuro tried using Crow to attack the silver minion who picked him up but Crow was blasted to pieces by another silver minion. Baki however received the vortex effect for attacking the descending the silver that tried grabbing him. The minion dived down with his talons open and was cut by Baki's wind blade. From behind, a silver grabbed Baki, digging all of its talons into Baki's shoulders. As Baki was lifted off of the ground and carried into the air, he was spun around. The silver holding him was spinning itself as it rose into the air, with such speed that made the air around them hard to breathe in. Baki was starting to black out from the lack of air and dizzying speed before it came to sudden halt. Whiplash was the least of Baki's worries as he was experiencing extreme vertigo.
The silver minions holding ninjas flew towards their master, locking onto their position before dropping off their cargo. Baki was on his fours where he kept himself from vomiting as the ground spun around him. Kankuro was also on his forests but he was trying to plead for his life with Gaara, his sister chimed in trying to overcome her pain.
"Please Gaara, we're your big brother and sister, don't do this."-Kankuro
"Listen to your true brother Gaara, this Overlord isn't related to you at all, we're your real family."-Temari
"We may be blood relatives but I have never considered either one of you as my brother or as my sister. Brother, I feel that you have something in mind for these two before I kill them."-Gaara asked with his arms now crossed over his chest.
"My only suggestion would be to crush their bones slowly and unlike last time, there is nothing to interrupt it."-The Overlord said before the two were grabbed by the sand. First the legs were crushed then the arms before they began to sink into the earth below. After their bodies were a few inches submerged in the sand, the sand condensed and crushed whatever bones it covered. A few inches deeper and they were crushed again, all of it was music to Gaara's ears. It ended when the only thing above the sand were Temari's and Kankuro's heads, which were now lifeless behind the eyes. Gaara stared down at them before his eyes slid over to Baki, who just recovered from his vertigo.
"Ugh, what? Gaara you killed them!...your own family?...-" Baki
"They were never my family, the Overlord is all the family I need and the family I deserve, you are nothing but a bug that will be squashed." Gaara said as sand attached itself to Baki's limbs.
"I will not allow you to continue if your rampage, Gaara. Even if I have to kill you, I will protect the Sand Village." Baki said before breaking away from the sand by releasing a great wave of wind. Baki lunged towards Gaara with his wind blade, Baki lifted his hand so it aligned with his face. Baki aimed to strike Gaara's heart to put him down permanently.
His attack was interrupted by the Overlord, who delivered a strong knee to his stomach. Baki acted fast before shock took him and thrusted his blade of chakra wind into the Overlord's heart. It was at that moment that this was the same person who survived Gaara's sand coffin, and then killed himself to resurrect himself stronger than ever. Baki fell to his knees as the Overlord removed his own from Baki's gut, though Baki's arm was still through his chest.
Baki gasped for air two times before looking up to see the Overlord looking down at him, he was so still it was hard to tell if he was still alive or not. Baki pulled out his hand and was horrified to see the Overlord's flesh healing itself. Gaara was livid, standing behind his master who had taken the mortal blow for him. Gaara walked to his brother's side with rage in his mind. Sand rose and pierced Baki's form, starting with his joints the all long his limbs. Gaara glared at Baki, his smile replaces with a dark scowl as Baki watched a stream of sand burrowed itself down his mouth. Sand filled Baki's insides, to the point that his body began widening, his screams were muffled as his horrify end was met. When it was done, Baki having suffocated to his death. The enlarge sand bag fell forward and Gaara turned to his brother.
"Are you alright brother?" Gaara asked eying the healed wound that was visible to the world.
"Yeah I'm fine but what's with you? Where did that come from?"
"Forgive me brother I just don't like see you being hurt, it is a grave insult especially when you were protecting me. He had to pay for such an insult my lord."
"Well I'm immortal so it not of any consequence to me, though I am surprised that it healed so fast; the healing capabilities must be included when taking the physical prowess. Now for all those others." The Overlord said as he crossed his arms and looked at the hordes of Suna ninja partway in the sand.
As Gaara sank the Suna shinobi in the depths, the Overlord gathered the lifeforce from Temari, Kankuro and Baki. The life force from the Suna army was collected from The Overlord's clones, who were watching the battle from the sidelines just as interested in the fight as the original. All the thousands of life force was collected within a few minutes, by the hundreds upon hundreds of clones . When that was done, the clones dispersed , the information flooding into his mind made the Overlord pause for a few minutes.
Gaara looked to his brother, who told him about the recycled information he was receiving and the effect it was having in his body. Gaara waited for his brother to feel better as he over looked the battlefield. The area behind them was elevated from the sand tsunami, while the area around them was covered with bodies of humans and demons, and the area in front of them was leveled out which no sigh of anyone ever being there.
The Overlord gathered himself and started walking with his brother to find more victims. As they did, to make their mission easier, the Overlord called for his silver minions. The minions hovered overhead as their master commanded them to find and locate large groups of people for them to kill. The silver minions flew through the sky, keeping their eyes open as they searched for the villagers.
When one found a sizable group, the minion would circle the area. The Overlord took note of the independent silver minions that found targets. The Overlord headed over to the silver on the far left, knowing that that was the direction of the only entrance into the village. Not wanting to waste time the Overlord teleported them to the entrance. There he and Gaara blocked the exit of the tunnel, which was filled with people trying to break out. Upon seeing the duo, the villagers became even more desperate but it was to no avail as Gaara filled the cleft with sand. The hundreds of shinobi that tried to stop him were just as swept away with the current.
Gaara had the sand slowly apply pressure to the making the villagers gargle out sounds of anguish and despair. The gathering of life force partook after the painful execution. Gaara grin had slowly returned as his life-long dream was being realized. The Overlord teleported them another silver minion, find themselves in a rally of officials trying to keep the public calm. However, with the officials were shinobi at the ready, just having spotted the minion circling high above them.
"What is that?"-Sand shinobi asked, peering up at the sky, seeing the black silhouette of a strange creature.
"A sign of your doom."-The Overlord said, startling everyone around him. The Overlord was attacked but was immediately protected by a shield of sand.
Gaara then used it to swarm the rally, getting experience with his sand tsunami and great sand burial. However, these people were only waist deep in sand when they were subjected to unimaginable force.
The Overlord turned to his brother wanting to ask him something but disregarded it and instead collected the life force by walking through the field of suffering.
"Well done brother, just a few more to go now." The Overlord said upon returning to Gaara.
"Thank you, brother if you don't mind I would like to level this entire villiage. I suspect many are hiding inside their homes, I would like to see them crushed beneath my sand."
"Go for it, would make collecting lifeforce a bit easier but you're sure about doing it all
in one fell swoop?"
"Yes brother, your way was very enjoyable but now I want this village to disappear forever."
"Then so be it." The Overlord stated as he teleported himself and Gaara to the mountain ridge overlooking the village.
"Since we arrived on this mountain I've turning the rocks and minerals into my sand, there is enough to completely fill in this village, no one will ever believe it even existed." Gaara said as he put his hands on the mountain, within moments sand erupted from along the ridge, pouring into the village. Buildings were met with fierce waves from all sides, making them shake in place. The sand level quickly began to rise, filling every street, every nook and cranny before piling on top of each other to overtake every building.
It took some time but Suna was completely buried in sand, and Gaara wasted no time with the greatest sand burial. The ground shook violently as the village was crushed under its ultimate weapon's power. The quake was unparalleled in power but it only lasted for a few seconds. The sight before them was nothing but a desert plain, Suna was completely destroyed and everyone in it had no chance of surviving.
Gaara looked at the sight before him, he sported a cruel and wide grin at the state of his former residence. Suna was gone as he could clearly walk across his sand to the other side of the mountain ridge with no effort. Gaara rose to his feet and turned to his brother, who saw a slightly different sight. The Overlord saw life force hordes of it from the people who hid in their homes but he also saw gold piles upon piles upon piles from all the destroyed homes. The Overlord took a step forward before using the multi-shadow clone jutsu to collect the spoils of Suna's destruction.
"I'm glad that killing them like this didn't disturb your way of collecting their life force." Gaara said as he went his master's side.
"I wasn't worried, but seeing all of this a lot of people tried to hide in anyplace they could find. I'm glad we did it your way especially since I also get all the gold from the houses you've destroyed, I thought I was giving it up but I guess not."
"Then I am glad I ended it on such a high note, shall we return to the Minion Cavern now?"
"Yeah."
"What of your minions?"
"They'll find their way to the Netherworld."
With the destruction and desecration of Suna, the Overlord and Gaara rode back to their home in the comfort of their carriage. Upon entry, the life force from the Suna shinobi that Dimmer killed was harvested. The Overlord sat in his typical spot and looked out the window. Gaara took his seat next to the Overlord, still wearing a devilish grin on his face.
"Still excited brother?"-The Overlord said as he glanced down to his brother.
"It was quite the day, I will never forget it. Killing my birthplace with you will forever be in my memory."
"Well I think that is a wonderful way to end the day, course I still have one thing left to do that can't wait any longer."
"Your blood bath?"
"Yep, once I do that, I think I'll be satisfied enough for a rest."
"We have accomplished a lot today master, I believe you deserve a rest either way." Gaara didn't get a retort from his lord, who instead looked out his window.
When The Overlord returned to the Minion Cavern, he instructed Gnarl to prepare Guy for the bloodbath. Gaara told his master that he would be awaiting his return in the private chambers.
From Guy, The Overlord wanted his physical prowess, taijutsu skills and his strong body type. Naruto appeared in the special zone for such an exchange.
Naruto stood across from Guy, who had his head hung down. When Naruto got in a fighting position, Guy looked up.
"Hello lord."-Guy
"Uhhh hi...ok so just give me everything you got ok?"
"Understood sire, eighth gate of pain open!" Guy shouted as he was filled in an enormous amount of power. Naruto wasn't even able to blink before he was stuck by Guy's foot. Guy threw a punch that sent a wave of compressed air to Naruto.
Naruto couldn't move so in the moment activated his sharingan. With his god like speed and strength, Guy easily best and battered The Overlord. The Overlord's immortal body prevented him from completely being destroyed or worse so, when the blood bath was over, Naruto was safe from the potential ill effects that he would have had to suffer through.
Naruto opened his eyes, staring at the lava flowing down the chamber before he growled to himself. He rose from the tub and let himself be washed but nothing could improve his mood. He knew Guy had to be strong but to not even land a punch on him was just infuriating. Naruto dressed himself in his under clothes, using magic to will his armor and himself to his private quarters.
"Were you successful master?" Gaara said from his comfortable position in the bed
"Shut up Gaara."
"I know this will not aid your mood but honestly speaking I prefer your body like this, it is more like mine. Despite being slightly larger than it was originally."
"Hmph." Naruto grumbled as he got into his bed with Gaara.
"I want to thank you, Naruto."
"For what?" Naruto snapped.
"Full-filling my wish, destroying Suna meant more to me than the death of my father. I can sleep more peaceful then before now that those two things will be gone forever." Gaara said as he closed his eyes, having an arm on Naruto's chest, his head resting on the Overlord's shoulder.
"Uhhh...don't mention it...it was fun, I guess..."
"I would also like to thank you for allowing me to join you, I had no idea this was the life I'd live. Truthfully, I can't say that I don't like it, you have to be the best thing that has happened to me. I do think that this is what love might be. This feeling in my heart, so warm, so pleasant.-"
"Go. To. Bed. Gaara."
"Hmm as you wish, master." Gaara chuckled happily as he observed his deathly still Overlord.
