And we're back, again I apologize to anyone who was disappointed with how brief my initial ENO arc was. As I stated in the previous chapter, I do have a plan for them to return later. For those of you who were making suggestions on who to join in ENO, know that our original trio will have accompany when they return. Anyway lets get started.

Disclaimer: I still don't own Naruto or SAO

Floor 1 Labyrinth: Boss Room

Naruto couldn't believe his shitty luck. It had only been just over a year since he escaped the game that had become his reality for far too long. Now Kazuto, Sinon and he were trapped in another game, Sword Art Online. They had all beta tested the game and loved it. They had each played solo so that when the official game was released they would know as much as possible together.

Unfortunately no one could log out now and all 10,000 players had been trapped in the death game. Over 2,000 people had died in both the game and the real world. Now they were standing outside the boss room hoping to prove that this game was in fact beatable and restore some hope. Forty-eight players had shown up and been divided into seven groups with six players each. Naruto, Kirito, and Sinon had made a party with Lisbeth, and a hooded girl named Asuna, and an small girl named Argo.

Naruto had met Lis the day the game was released. He taught her the basics of the game and helped her obtain her first level up before realizing they were trapped in the game.

Sinon had done the same as Naruto on the first day. She picked someone who seemed like they didn't know what to do and showed that person the basics. That person was Asuna. Naruto had met her the previous day, albeit briefly. No one had really seen what the girl was capable of except Sinon, but she vouched for her.

Argo was an info broker that Naruto and his two friends met during the beta and was mainly entering the dungeon as support to cover Sinon.

It was almost time to enter and Naruto was thinking about the events since waking up from his last death game.

Hospital:

Naruto began to slowly open his eyes, as his vision began to clear he heard some shuffling and muffled speaking. He began to sit up before realizing that he was too weak having spent a little over six months in bed. So he decided to make his presence known, "Can I get some help over here?"

"Naruto?!" he heard Kazuto and a girl yell. Then he saw his friend and the girl come around the curtain.

The blond stared at the girl for a moment before realizing who she must be. "Shino?" he asked.

She smiled brightly and nodded as she walked beside his bed and helped him sit up against the headboard. She then took off his nerve gear helmet and hugged him as she started crying.

Naruto smiled as he hugged her back, "Hey, why are you crying. Look at me, I'll be fine after some physical therapy."

"I really thought we lost you in there Naruto-kun." She then froze as she remembered those last moments in the game. "Actually, I'm curious about something," she said as she started pressing her index fingers together.

The blond grinned before lightly flicking her forehead, "So then ask silly."

"Um, what exactly were you trying to say before you...died?"

Naruto froze as he realized what she was talking about. He looked up to see Kazuto grin before walking away. "You traitor!" He then noticed Shino eyeing him expectantly and mumbled something.

"What was that?" she asked leaning closer.

Naruto took a deep breath, "I love you...or at least I think I do. Maybe it's too soon to tell," he said before looking up and seeing the shocked look on her face. "I know you have a past and that you're not ready to talk about it yet, and I am more than willing to wait till you're ready. Since we're going to be friends, I have plenty of time to wait." Shino looked down and away from him, "And if you decide to just be friends, then I'll still be happy either way."

6 months ago:

Naruto had just walked out of school and noticed that Shino was nowhere to be seen when he heard a sound from around the corner. After rounding the corner he saw that the source was a group of three girls that had a fourth surrounded with the apparent leader pointing a finger gun at the fourth which was Shino.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing?!" he yelled as he ran towards the group and protectivly placed himself between his friend and the group.

After calling their bluff of being friends with Shino and scaring them off, he consoled his friend and walked her home. Once they arrived she told him her story of how she had killed a man.

"I can't pretend to understand the affect that had on you Shino, but the way I see it, you saved not only your mom but everyone else in that bank. Did you kill someone? Yes, but the more important question you have to ask is 'how many lives did you save?'" he had told her while she sobbed into his shoulder. She even showed him her personal therapy of holding a toy gun while holding off a panic attack as long as possible.

A few months after that, the beta test for SAO had been released and all three split up to discover as much as possible. The only times they had really met was for the boss rooms. Back then, the monsters were easier and they could respawn, even though their equipment retained and wear and tear. Then the game was released and at the end of their first day they had been given the shocking news.

Town of beginnings main square:

In a flash of blue light Kirito appeared back in the starting town, "A forced teleport?" He looked over and saw Klein, the player he had taken to teach the basics.

"Naruto, what's going on?" a girls voice asked from behind Kirito. He turned and saw his friends avatar which looked almost the same as in real life, the only major change being that his hair was longer and his eyes were the same violet as his mother's had been.

Sinon stepped up next to the group with a hooded figure a few steps behind her. "None of us know but look up there," she said pointing to a red 'attention' sign in the sky. "I have a feeling that we're about to find out."

Everyone watched as the sky became red and a substance that looked like blood began leaking from the digital ceiling high in the sky. The substance formed into a giant hooded figure and turned out to be Kayaba Akihiko. He told them how they were now stuck inside his game and how he simply wanted to be in control of his own world. He then told everyone to check their storage for a gift from him before disappearing.

The group of six each pulled a mirror out and in a flash of light, suddenly everyone looked like they did in real life. Afterwards the panic set in and the three beta testers drug their new friends quickly away from the crowd towards the exit. Klein declined the offer to join them in going to the next town, opting to meet with his real-life friends and stick with them. The hooded figure had disappeared in the panic.

Sinon said that she was going northeast to continue gathering wasp stingers. Naruto tried to convince her to stick with him and Kirito but she declined stating that splitting up would be more beneficial. After hugging her friends and promising to contact them every day possible the girl ran off at full speed.

Lis happily accepted the offer to join the boys in running to the next town and the three took off at full speed, killing any monsters in their way with quick combos and teamwork.

A few hours later:

Naruto and co. could finally see Horunka Village which was their destination. They had been walking for the last ten minutes and Kirito and he were planning on doing the quest 'Secret Medicine of the Forest' before getting some rest.

"HELP!!!" the trio suddenly heard from the left and ran at full speed to find the source of the distress call. Naruto and Kirito had their one-handed swords drawn while Lis and drawn her one-handed mace.

When they reached the clearing sheets the call had come from, they froze as they took in the scene in front of them. There was a young girl with shoulder length black hair blocking the vines of a Large Nepent using a leather shield, her health dropping with every hit. Naruto recovered quickly and rushed in with Kirito right behind him. The blond held his sword behind him with the tip carving a path from his starting position as it glowed. "《VERTICAL》" he yelled as he swung upwards and countered the vine.

"NARUTO, SWITCH!" Kirito yelled, jumping in with his sword angled down to the side glowing as soon as his friend jumped back. "《SLANT》" he called as he dug his blade into the plant monster and drug all three way from the bottom right to the top left.

During Kiritos's attack, Naruto had managed to grab the girl and jump back, getting her safe. "Lis, switch with Kirito now and counter the next attack! Then I'll switch in and attack, that's how we'll take it out!"

Lis nodded, "Kirito, switch!"

The boy jumped back as she jumped in and used her maceskill, countering the next attack and even getting a good strike before Naruto ran back in. The battle carried one like this for five minutes until Naruto finally finished it off with a Horizontal Arc》. He even got two 'Nepenthes's Ovules' which was exactly what they had been coming to the village for.

After getting the girl to calm down enough to talk, they found out her name was Sachi and she started with her five high school computer club friends. They had been brought to Horunka immediately following the announcement from Kayaba via party teleport by a beta tester named Coper who ran here as soon as the game started before being teleported back. After the first ovule had dropped, Coper had activated a trap to perform a monster pk, player kill. Afterwards the girl had fallen asleep and the group decided they would bring her along if she wanted and teach her how to be strong so that she would never have to watch helplessly as someone died in front of her. Naruto even convinced her the next day to switch or her sword with a glaive he purchased for her. She spent the next few days with them learning her new weapon, but ultimately she decided to go off on her own one night while everyone was asleep.

Two days before the boss fight:

Naruto was exploring the labyrinth in hopes of finding the boss room. His friends were all back in Tolbana town resting and preparing for the meeting the next day. According to his friend Argo, someone had finally found the boss room and was going to stage a raid on it. Naruto was hoping to find it himself to make sure their were no changes from the beta. Suddenly, his stomach started grumbling. "Guess I should make my way to the safe zone and grab a quick bite. I still have a few hours before I plan to head back."

Fortunately, he had already mapped out that section of the dungeon and knew his way there. When he finally made it, he noticed someone else just entering. Based on the persons figure, he assumed it was a girl but he couldn't tell for sure because of the cloak they were wearing.

He leaned against the wall a few feet away and slid down to relax while he ate. "Hi there," he said as he navigated his menu. "Having any luck today? I've been trying to find the boss room here for about five days."

The player shrugged their shoulders and started to get up.

Naruto sighed, "You know, this area is plenty big enough for the two of us. You should rest, if not you'll be exhausted for your trip home."

Three person stopped and turned slightly looking over their shoulder, "Home?"

Naruto grinned, 'Definitely a girl and definitely exhausted.' He stood back up and stretched before taking a small bite of his bread and putting it back. "Well yeah, from this point it'll take a good hour and a half to get to the closest town."

She turned back forward, "Then it's a good thing I have no intention of going home."

Naruto looked at her confused, "What about potions, repairing equipment and sleep?"

She stopped and he saw her fist clinch, "You don't need potions if you don't get hit, I stock piled multiple rapiers, and I can sleep in the safe zone."

He thought about what she said for a moment, "Well I can't argue with that logic seeing as I've done the same in the past. So how long you been here if I can ask."

Naruto heard her release a heavy sigh, "Three, maybe four days. Can I go now, I need to keep moving." She began walking away rather shakily while holding a hand to the wall.

Then she started to fall, Naruto moved in front of her and caught her before she could hit the ground. 'She's gonna die if she keeps going like this,' he thought as he started making his way for the exit.

The next morning, the day of the meeting, Naruto was awoken to the sound of stirring from the bed across from his inn room. He had carried the girl all the way back to town, rented a room for the night, and laid her on the bed before sitting in the window sill and passing out. Finally, she seemed to be waking.

He decided to speak before she could jump to conclusions. "Check your inventory and you'll notice you still have all your stuff, also your still wearing all your equipment."

The girl stiffened before slowly sitting up and looking around, "Why?"

Naruto chuckled, "Because it would be rude to take advantage of you while you were asleep."

She shook her head, "No, why did you save me? You shouldn't have. For that matter, how?"

Naruto shook his head, "I carried you on my back, had to take a lot of breaks but I wasn't about to leave you there to die knowing I could do something."

"And why would you care about me? You don't know me," she growled through clenched teeth.

He finally had enough of her pissy attitude. He flipped of the window sill and crossed his arms as he gave her the coldest glare possible. "First of all, you may not remember me, but if I'm correct one of my close friends showed you the basics on the first day! So she would be pissed if she knew I let her work go to waste. Second, if I was going to leave you there it would be the same as if I killed you myself! If you wanna go get yourself killed, fine! But it ain't happening on my watch! I don't care about myself, I fight to make sure that every person capable can make it back to their loved ones!" He then walked out and slammed the door before she could formulate a response.

A few hours later Naruto, Kirito, Sinon and Lis were sitting in an amphitheater for the meeting about the boss fight.

Sinon had found out that she could dye her hair and it was now blue again. She had also gained a descent number of throwing knives and was becoming quick with them. Sadly, due to their low durability they were only good for one shot each.

Lis had changed her outfit, she now was wearing what looked like a maids outfit with leather armor underneath. She also had a better war hammer and had begun focusing on blacksmith skills. She had been a huge reason why the boys had been able to afford better equipment since she fixed the groups equipment for free.

Naruto and Kirito would have looked like twins if not for the different hair colors. Both wore leather trench coats, dark red and grey respectively. The boys had both received the 'Anneal Blade' in exchange for the Nepenthes Ovules the day after saving Sachi.

Naruto had taken the lead in leveling awhile ago thanks to the fact that he slept half as much as the others due to his six years of ninja training. He also never took days off with the rest of the group. His main focus had become a mix of strength, speed and agility. Thanks to focusing on more areas of battle, Naruto had fallen behind Kirito in speed and reflexes but he was fine with that. His higher strength stat meant he could counter heavier attacks without losing as much health as Kirito would.

Naruto had been ignoring most of the meeting since he already knew the boss abilities and fighting pattern. Then he noticed a boy with spiky hair, Kibaou he called himself, land on the stage. He began blaming beta testers for the over 2,000 deaths since the game began. Just as Naruto was about to go down and break the guys nose, a dark skinned man named Agil stood and made his way down. Agil pointed out that the free guide book was created from info gathered by beta testers.

Naruto noticed the girl he had saved stood up next and looked to him and his two friends. They all shared a glance and nodded before she spoke, "I was completely lost even before finding out about this death game, but their friend, a beta tester," she said motioning towards Sinon. "She split from them and took me elsewhere so she could show me the basics before Kayaba made his announcement. Afterwards she started dragging me along with both of them dragging someone each towards an exit, I assume they were going to take us three to form a six person group to start power leveling, I broke off though and stayed in the town of beginnings for the first two weeks before giving up on outside help."

Lis stood next, "I don't know whether Naruto and Kirito were beta testers. Personally, I don't care, Naruto showed the basics to me day one and Kirito and him have been helping me since that day. As far as her comment about forming a party, it's true. Kirito invited someone who he taught to join us but he declined. Afterwards we invited another player to join us in Horunka village but she also declined. Without their help, I'm not sure that I would have survived."

Diabel, the player who had been leading the meeting before the interruptions, coughed loudly gaining everyone's attention. "Most of you here know me, I've helped a lot of you level up." Most of the crowd gave a short applause, "Well I'm also a beta tester, I apologize for hiding this from you but with the negativity towards us beta testers, I was scared that some of you would avoid me and then if something would have happened to you I would have felt guilty knowing that I may have been able to prevent it. Would you three please join me down here?"

Kirito, and Sinon hung there heads as they slowly approached the stage followed by Lis and Asuna. Naruto smiled, nodded, and leapt down in one fluid motion. "High guys, I'm Naruto, sidenote that's actually my real name," he said rubbing the back of his head. "These are my friends, both in this world and the real one, Kirito and Sinon. Without going into details, this is actually my second time being trapped in a game with only one life and they willingly entered that game to help me escape. Anyway, that's not important right now, what is important is that you'll find beta testers who are douche bags, and regular players who are douche bags."

Outside the boss room:

After the meeting the groups had been made and the Naruto's group had been placed on mob duty since they could quickly dispatch the Ruin Kobold Sentinels that would spawn with the boss. Kibaou's group was also on mob duty. Afterwards, Naruto, Kirito and Asuna would focus on the boss until each hp bar was depleted. Then they would retreat to their group and prepare for the next mob.

Naruto was drug from his thoughts by the sound of metal meeting cement. He looked up to see Diabel addressing the crowd. 'Guy makes for one hell of a leader' he thought with a smile. His group jogged into the room with the rest of the raid group. The darkness lifted as the boss, Illfang the Kobold Lord, landed in front of them and four health bars appeared next to his head.

Then the three sentinels spawned in front of Illfang. "Naruto, you and your group pull the mobs attention so the tanks can distract the boss!" Diabel yelled.

Naruto nodded, "Right, Sinon you're up!"

The blue-haired girl pulled out two knives in her left hand and one in her right hand that she drew back, aimed for a moment, and threw at the lead sentinel saying 《Single Shot》. As soon as it hit, all three looked towards their group, "Here they come, Argo and Lis, cover me incase they get close! You three know what to do!"

The forward group nodded, "Kirito, you two work together on one. I'll take one and we'll meet up to help with the third one if those three haven't already finished it!" They nodded and all three met the sentinels charge. As Naruto approached his target, he saw it got hit with a knife that stunned it and left it wide open. He smirked at the assist as he flipped his blade to a reverse grip at his side and finished it off with a slash across its throat. He looked back to see Asuna rushing their sentinel with amazing speed and driving her rapier into it's throat with her 《Linear》 skill, finishing it off with one shot. He then saw Kirito counter the last sentinel and rushed to his aid hitting it without a sword skill at the same time as Kirito, leaving an 'X' on it before it burst into polygons. "Now, lets go get the big guy!" As they approached, the boss shifted his focus to them, "Kirito counter his first hit, then get ready to switch!" Kirito took the lead and countered with a 《Vertical》 afterwards yelling switch, Naruto hit him with a 《Serration Wave》 applying a small stun, "Now, switch!"

Before he could blink the girl sped past him, "《Parallel Sting!》" she shouted driving her weapon into it twice in quick succession. "Switch!" she yelled.

Naruto and Kirito speed past her. Illfang recovered and swung for their chests, Kirito slid under the massive sword while Naruto jumped high over it. "Now Kirito!" Kirito performed a 《Horizontal Arc》 at the bosses waist. Naruto spun in a fast motion yelling the same while spinning leaving diagonal slashes from hip to shoulder. Once they finished, the tanks came back in to get the boss' attention as four more sentinels spawned, Naruto noticed this and yelled out, "There was only suppose to be three sentinels! Be careful, there may be other changes!" Then his group knocked three sentinels towards their group in the rear while Sinon hit the fourth with a throwing knife.

The battle continued on with damage and defense untilthe boss reached his final bar prompting six minions to spawn. 'I'm really not liking these changes, who knows what else will be different, Kirito thought as he finished a minion.

Just then a roar sounded through the room and as Diabel rushed forward to finish the boss twelve more sentinels appeared around the players. Illfang threw his sword and shield and pulled out a, "That's not a Talwar, it's a Nodachi! Diabel get out of there, the info is useless right now!" Sinon yelled. Several players including Agil, Kibaou and Diabel looked towards her, but it was too late as the boss jumped off multiple pillars before landing and slashing the leader across the chest and blasting him away with another slash.

Naruto rushed forward, "Kirito heal him and then get in here, my group cover him! Everyone else is on sentinel duty! I'll do what I can to hold the boss!" He charged in, deflected a few blows and jumped deflecting another blow. Then he prepared another Horizontal Arc. The boss recovered before he could hit and punched Naruto in the gut, blasting him away.

Asuna's eyes widened, "Naruto!" She jumped high and caught the blond in mid air. As she landed, they looked over to see Diabel refusing the health potion from Kirito.

"You were after the last attack bonus, the rare item for the player who gets the final hit," Kirito said with tears in his eyes.

"Please, you guys have to beat the boss for everyone." Diabel began fading before bursting into polygons.

The group noticed a shadow fall over them and looked to see Illfang ready to sweep the whole group. Kirito jumped up and deflected the first shot, only to be blasted into Sinon by a second attack. Just before the boss could finish the entire group, Agil countered the third swing. "You guys regroup and heal, we can hold this guy off for a moment."

Naruto and Kirito nodded to him as Sinon and Asuna gave each a health potion. Afterwards the whole group turned to Naruto as he equipped a second blade, "Sinon aim for his eyes or his throat! Argo stay with her incase anymore sentinels spawn! The rest of us will focus on damage, be mindful of his quick recovery and be ready to switch at a moments notice!" Everyone nodded and rushed into position.

Kirito took the lead and countered the first strike with Asuna zooming past him barely after the switch already preparing a skill. Illfang recovered and prepared to strike her down, "Asuna look out!" Naruto yelled out. She quickly ducked enough that the strike only managed to destroy her cloak.

Asuna lowered her rapier to her hip as it glowed brighter for a stronger skill. "《Triangular》" she shouted blasting the boss three times in the chest faster than anyone could follow. Illfang recovered and reared back for a counter, "Switch!"

Lis sprinted past with her mace glowing, she countered his attack, shoving Illfangs blade to the side, "Switch!"

"Lis, give me a boost with your shield! Asuna follow after me and counter him for me after I hit him! Kirito hit him with everything you have!" Naruto shouted as he ran straight to Lis. When he stepped on her shield, she threw him up as he jumped and twisted, slashing with both swords, "Switch!" He yelled. Asuna flew between Naruto and the boss and countered the next strike in mid air. While Kirito was jumping high off of Lis' shield, Naruto reached for Asuna, she grabbed his hand and yelled 'switch'. As she pulled him down, he pulled her up. The end result was Naruto spinning very fast, to the raid party he looked like a tornado. Kirito began falling performing a《Horizontal Arc》 immediately after Naruto slashed through the boss too many times to count.

Then the boss burst apart signaling that he had been beaten just before a 'Congratulations' screen appeared in the middle of the room. Kirito received the last attack bonus. As Agil was thanking the group, Kibaou spoke up, "Why? Why did you let him die? You knew the bosses attack pattern would be different!" he accused the group.

There was a lot of murmuring going through the crowd, most agreeing with the accusations. Suddenly laughing was heard and everyone turned to see the three friends slowly stand, Kirito looked to his friends and smiled before addressing the crowd, "So you guys think we're beta testers? Well you're only partially right. Most of you here are better than those guys were, not including Diabel, I had a lot of respect for him leading you guys to this point." A few people clapped for his words about their former leaded.

When the applause died down, Sinon picked up where Kirito had left off, "The fact of the matter is this. The three of us are in a league of our own. During the beta, we would solo each floor until finding the boss room. Then we would meet up and solo the boss one at a time so that only we could move to the next floor." There were multiple gasps heard through the crowd. Soloing a boss, just the idea was inconceivable to the rest of the group after what they had just witnessed.

Naruto interrupted her when the crowd looked back to the trio, "We made it higher than anyone else during the beta, fighting bosses and creatures on much higher floors that made Illfang look like he belonged just outside the starting town, that's a fact! So grouping us with the beta testers is an insult."

Kibaou looked shocked, "If that's true, th-then you three are worse than beta testers, you're a bunch of cheaters!" Most of the assembled players agreed and eventually someone called them 'Beaters'.

Naruto grinned evil, "Beaters huh?"

The three looked at each other before Kirito and Sinon mimicked his expression. "Okay, you can call us Beaters," Kirito said as the group approached the stairs.

Sinon turned her head to the side slightly, grin still in place, "Just as long as you don't confuse us for beta testers again."

Someone in the crowd decided they weren't finished with the trio, "That still doesn't explain why you let Diabel die!"

The group stopped and Sinon turned around, "Diabel was an amazing leader who could have made beta testers accepted. But he was just trying to get the last attack bonus for himself. I tried warning him of the change before he died and I know you heard me Kibaou because you looked right at me when I shouted. Diabel died because despite all his redeeming qualities, he was greedy!"

Kibaou glared back, "What did you say bitch?!" Most of the raid group were glaring at the group now.

Suddenly, Naruto vanished and reappeared with his sword drawn back glowing and his hand around Kibaou's throat. "First of all, watch your mouth when you're talking to my friends!" He then shoved Kibaou to the ground and sheathed his sword while waking back to his group. "Second off all, and pay attention everyone, any time you fight a boss, there is an item that can only be acquired by the person who gets the final strike. Kirito, show them," he said as he stepped next to his friend with his back turned to the rest off the group.

Kirito nodded and equipped the item as his grey trench coat was replaced by a black one. Then he turned and the whole group, Lis and Asuna included, followed him and Naruto up the stair case, "You guys head back to town and spread the word that the boss has been beaten and rest. We'll activate the teleport gate to give everyone access to the second floor."

As the group was ascending the stair case they heard a few people clapping. Those were the ones who realized they were trying to take the public's hate away from the beta testers. As they neared the gate a small figure ran past the raid group and jumped on Kiritos back. "Do you really have to do that Argo? We kind of just finished fighting a boss here."

The whiskered girl merely smiled, "I know," she said with a smile. "You guys were amazing!"

Naruto chuckled and then looked towards the info broker, "You know Argo, I've been curious for awhile at where you got your whiskers. Are they real?"

The girl gave him a puzzled look as the group stepped into the second floor. "Are you telling me that yours are real?" When he nodded, she continued, "Honestly if I would've known that, I would've told you guys during the beta. Those are a very interesting birthmark. So how much are you offering for the info?"

Naruto seemed to think for a moment before glancing to Kirito and Sinon. They seemed to understand the silent question because they both nodded. "How about a spot in the guild we're going to create on the third floor? You'll have exclusive rights to any info, we come across plus our protection and we'll help you train. In exchange, we'll get first rights to any info you come across for free and the guild will pay for the publication of the updated guide books. How's that for a deal?" he asked as he held out his hand.

Argo hopped of Kirito and stood in front of Naruto for a moment before looking up, taking his hand and smiling, "Sounds pretty damn good to me."

Naruto smiled back before he noticed the other two girls looking at him, "I'm sorry, I should have put it to a vote first."

Asuna looked confused, "What do you mean a vote?"

Noticing the confused looks on their faces, Kirito stepped up, "Well Naruto, Sinon and myself had already decided you three would be invited. There's only so much a solo player can do by themselves. Eventually you need a group or a guild to make significant progress in a game like this."

Lis looked unsure, "Are you sure, I mean, I wouldn't wanna hold you guys back."

Sinon took the lead, "Of course we're sure about all of you. Asuna, I need someone to keep the two meat heads covered when their being stupid." Asuna giggled and nodded as the 'meat heads' wept anime tears. Shaking their reaction off she continued, "The reasoning for Argo has already been covered. Lis, with you being an aspiring blacksmith, you'll be invaluable. As soon as we have the money, we're going to get a shop that you'll be able to use and Argo can advertise to bring business. Plus you'll have us to accompany you when you need new materials." Lis smiled brightly and nodded.

Naruto took the lead again, "Every single member of this group is absolutely crucial to how we operate from this point forward and I hope that we'll be able to get a designated tank one day. Honestly the only thing that we could really use right now is a healer." Naruto turned towards the second floor and gazed out at the Mesas that dotted the landscape. "Let's move guys, we need to hurry and activate that portal so we can get some rest before heading out to start clearing the new front line!"

AND CUT!

Mesa: American English term for tableland, an elevated area of land with a flap top and sides that are usually steep cliffs.

As far as Naruto duel wielding, lol at a photo of the guild titans hand and you'll see a guy duel wielding axes. He just won't have access to sword skills.

That's all for this week people. Don't worry, I won't be doing any super long flash backs like that again. So we have the main members of the guild. There will be two more major member but one person won't be joining until much later when they get a permanent building, and I'm not sure when I'll bring the other member in. I haven't decided what floor their permanent guild building will be on yet.

Give me ideas for Naruto's weapons, I'm thinking duel ninjatos.

Nothing else to say as of now besides, please review and let me know what you thought. Also I will only be using the '《》' for new moves from now on. Any moves that have already been debuted will simply be in bold and bosses will be in bold underline. Till next time guys!
