Chap 04:

Naruto lay at the bonfire and he woke up to a feeling of something being off, he took nothing of it when he saw nothing nearby. He sighed and got up only to see the Hollows he had killed were gone but others identical ones had shown back up.

"Ah hell… this is going to a bitch if it happens each time I rest at a bonfire."

Naruto then looked and noted that the Hollows seem to have no idea he was there. He smiled and snuck up behind the crossbowman then stabbed the Hollow in the back killing it before he saw one Hollow trying to attack him, he acted on instinct and parried the blow before disemboweling the hollow. Another hollow snuck up on him, but he rolled back between its legs and backstabbed it.

Naruto turned and saw a few glowing runic lines along the ground and he walked up to one and the image of some blonde dude with a robe on, but it faded away before he could do anything.

Naruto sighed then turned and figured he had best moved forward. He idly noted three hollows who had tried to firebomb him, but a house blocked their firebombs. He idly noted his soul meter had risen to {349}, and sighed.

"Damn, what did I do to deserve all this bullshit…? Oh well. Hey Orochimaru, got any tips for me besides don't die?"

"Naruto-kun maybe you should look for a way to take out those fire tossers… not that I doubt our surviving being burnt alive, but you only got ten sips of that Estus stuff based off the counter I see… best not to waste it."

Naruto sighed and nodded "Okay okay… sheesh like you could do any better I got no throwing knifes or anything like that."

Naruto turned and noted a distinct feeling like he needed to get past those shield and spear hollows to get what he needed.

Naruto sighed and walked downstairs shield held high, and the hollows that had been behind the wooden barricade came rushing towards him, he acted on instinct and knocked the incoming weapon aside and disemboweled the hollow. He sighed seeing the meter go up to {421}, "Well, least I found out what the meter was… best try to deal with those shield guys…".

Naruto turned to face them and he stepped halfway out and brought his shield up, waiting for the hollow to make a move. Eventually he rushed the hollow but his shield knocked the knife aside with ease as a spear point punched a hole in his side twice before he retreated and shut the door to his shields original place before he drank a sip of Estus to heal.

Naruto sighed and got ready to go back out and try killing the shield user he had struck before. As he opened the door he got ready to defend and attack.

He circled the hollow for a while before he struck and it lets it's guard down to strike then he ran to back and slashed it six times killing it notified as his soul counter rose to {521}, before he turned and ran from the other one to try luring it to where he could trap it, but it just circled back and forth by the deal shield/spear using hollow.

Naruto sighed and stepped out of the small space he had and got ready to fight. He swung his knife and it bounced of the shield of the hollow, before he reacted on instinct and knocked aside the spear of the hollow before disemboweling it.

Naruto sighed and noted his soul counter rose to {642} and he nodded. He went up and punched the crates open before descending the staircase and noting the open doorway then walked through.

"Well, now… You seem to have your wits about you, hmm? Then you are a welcome customer! I trade for souls. Everything's for sale! Nee hee hee hee hee!" was what he heard, as he saw a man who looked like he was barely there closer to the foes he had just killed and then he approached noting the menu pop up {[Purchase item] [Talk] [Leave]} and Naruto sighed before he said, "What you got for sale?"

Then he saw a menu pop up and smiled, {[Repair powder 500 souls | held 0] [Throwing knife 10 souls| held 0] [Firebomb 50 souls | held 6] [Lloyd's Talisman 500 souls | held 4] [Orange Guidance Soapstone 100 souls | held 0]}. Naruto noted an odd thing, there were a few more symbols at the top. He tapped the on showing a sword crossed over a shield and a new menu popped up. {[Dagger 300 souls | held 0] [Shortsword 600 souls | held 0] [Scimitar 600 souls | held 0] [Rapier 600 | held 0] [Hand Axe 450 | held 0] [Club 150 | held 0] [Reinforced Club 350 | held 0] [Spear 600 | held 0] [Short Bow 1000 | held 0] [East-West Shield 400 | held 0] [Small Leather Shield 600 | held 0] [Buckler 800 | held 0] [Leather Shield 800 | held 0] [Heater Shield 1000 | held 0] [Warrior's Round Shield 800 | held 0]}

Naruto decided to get the Scimitar, and a new menu popped up {Purchase for 600 souls? [Yes] [No]} he thought "yes." And he saw the menu return to the purchase options, but found {[Scimitar 600 souls | held 0]} had changed to {[Scimitar 600 souls | held 1]}.

Naruto sighed and got used to the feel of the Scimitar in his hands and smiled before he found the knife icon had switched to a scimitar. He then thought he wanted the knife and found his hand automatically reached to the pouch on his back and pulled it out while putting his knife away.

Naruto smiled and walked back into the building as he tested switching weapons out and found a minor delay in them. He sighed then saw a hollow, smirked and approached it, he let it get close and moved his arm consciously to a ready position and when it swung at him, he batted the axe it used aside and stabbed the scimitar clean through it then kicked it off his blade on instinct.

Naruto smirked noting his meter which had dropped down, when he got the scimitar, to {42} was now at {114}. He then turned to the hallway nearby and decided to explore it. He walked down and past the junction there and saw four unclothed hollows.

He smirked and let them approach before he ducked under the swing of one and stabbed it clean through the head from the bottom then spun around using the corpse as a club while bashing two hollows then kicked the corpse and other hollow away and slashed the throat of one hollow he blocked before he spun around and parried the second strike from the one he kicked and stabbed it through the chest. His health had dropped to {HP: 502} from {HP: 573} before he turned and blocked one more strike though he did take some damage dropping his health to {HP: 441} from {HP: 502} and swung his scimitar cleaving the head off and smiled then nodded. He noted his meter had risen to {134} after the first kill and the second kill brought the meter to {154}, the third brought it to {174} and the fourth had driven it to {194}.

"Good quality and feels natural in my hands."

Naruto smirked and walked up the ladder they had been guarding. At the top he saw a body with a flame over it, walked up to it and grasped the flame revealing [Throwing Knife 10]. He thought "Ok." And noted the pop up faded away and he saw a small ledge he might be able to jump onto. On a whim he rushed to the ledge and jumped, landing on the wooden ledge and smiled. Once inside he noted a set of stairs and curiosity took over making him go up them.

He came to an opening in the lean rail and explored the side first, finding a flame and body on the rail then approached it and grasped the flame revealing [Light Crossbow 1] [Standard Bolt 16] "Ok." The popups faded, and he walked back inside and dropped onto the firebomber past the ledge killing it. He noted the meter rose to {254}, before a hollow rushed him and he blocked it then slashed twice killing it, before he saw an Axeman jump strike him and he blocked it then killed it via three slashes to the chest. The two additional kills quickly rose the meter to {374}.

Naruto sighed and walked back to the bridge and brought the crossbow up, idly noting the scimitar was replaced by the crossbow, and took aim at a firebomber then pulled the trigger. The bolt flew and missed the firebomber, three more bolts followed, and Naruto gave up using the crossbow idly noting the return of his new scimitar.

Naruto took a deep breath and rushed across the bridge barely making it before a firebomb where he had just been.

Naruto noted the hollows that had been inside and brought his shield up barely blocking an axe swing from a rushing axeman, and another axeman managed to get in a lucky strike reducing his HP to {349} from {441}.

Naruto parried the next strike and stabbed the hollow in the gut, but he did take more damage reducing his HP to {281}. He sighed and drank a sip of Estus raising his HP to the full {571}.

As he set the Estus Flask in his satchel the door to his left was kicked open by a swordsman. The swordsman rushed Naruto who while startled still was able to block the stab and returned a quick three slashes carving a z pattern in the abdomen of the hollow.

Naruto sighed and walked out noting the hollow firebombers above him and smirked then investigated the nearby house, hoping the owner didn't mind him searching for supplies.

As Naruto stepped inside the house he was met with a hollow, who likely was the owner, who rushed him. Naruto blocked the strike and slashed two times, killing the hollow he noted the soul counter (going to be abbreviated as SC from now on) had risen to {634}. He sighed and walked up noting a large chest and flung it open revealing a flame, which when he grasped turned into [Black Firebomb 5]. He had a distinct feeling to save these for when he might need them.

Naruto sighed and walked back out suddenly feeling three odd feelings up ahead but as quick as it came the feeling was gone. Naruto noted he had a firebomber and two others hollows, an axeman and a swordsman. As he walked up the stairs the firebomber approached and Naruto two handed his scimitar and slashed the hollow across the chest twice killing it. As he noted the meter rose, he saw the other two hollows leap and strike him. He blocked the swordsman's blow but the axeman nailed him dropping his health to {HP: 436}. Naruto sighed and dodged back slashing as he cartwheeled back, damaging on hollow heavily as the other leap at him. He sighed and slashed both hollows as they tried to strike him together, the wounded hollow fell but the other lurched back and Naruto saw his opening and sliced the hollows head off.

Naruto sighed as he noted his SC was now at {814}, he smirked and decided to get rid of the firebombers attacking the bridge. Though he did walk over to the house the three hollows had been in front of and he responded "Yes" to the {Open} prompt, he noted the {Used Master Key} prompt and snorted.

He explored inside and saw an archway nearby and went through it, noting the chest it held. He smiled and responded to the prompt to open it, noting the flame disperse revealing [Gold Pine Resin 3]. He also saw a group of hollow, who might have been able to overwhelm him. He walked back to the door and decided to check out the area nearby. Noting a tower and he walked up it slowly and stealthily to ensure he can quickly kill the foes, if any are up there, and have only the hollow group he saw before.

At the top of the tower is a crossbowman who he backstabs and kills. He idly noted the counter next to his health rise to {01}, and smiled "Yatta! I found more humanity!". He smiled and walked down before luring a hollow up the steps to fight him, and when the hollow struck, Naruto knocked aside the sword and stabbed his new scimitar into the hollows gut before kicking the hollow off the blade. The SC rose to {921}, as a spartan approached him and he smiled when it struck before knocking the spear aside and ramming his scimitar into the hollows gut and kicking it off as the SC rose to {1111}. He smiled and walked along the path baiting the hollow remaining into attacking him and knocking the blow aside then stabbing the hollow in the gut and kicking it off, idly noting the SC rise to {1207}. He smirked and was about to proceed then at odd feeling told him something ungodly in comparison was nearby.

He walked to the nearby steps going down and saw it. It was a massive knight and it wore rusty almost burnt looking armor with a massive sword it wielded with one hand, and a shield that looked oddly like a flag of some kind imprinted into metal. He was about to walk closer when Orochimaru spoke up "Naruto-kun, best avoid it until you know you can kill it. It looks calm and as though its weapons and armor weigh nothing to it."

Naruto nodded and walked back up the steps before looking up and seeing a hollow with a barrel in front of it.

Naruto walked up the steps and rolled to the left just as the hollow rolled the now alight barrel at him and nearly hit him. As he stood up the hollow rushed him before he parried the blow it went for and struck hard into its head piercing it and ending the hollow. He wiped his blade clean and walked up the steps before feeling something even stronger then the, as he dubbed it, Black Knight. He shrugged it off and walked up the winding stairwell until he found a foggy doorway and went through it. He felt two pulses of flame like souls and climbed the ladder then killed the two crossbowmen with ease after they shot him twice as he came up the ladder he noted the SC rose to {1447}.

Naruto sighed and drank some Estus feeling the wounds close up, and drank more until his health was at the full {HP 573}.

Naruto then climbed back down the ladder and he saw a large beast drop down after he walked halfway across the bridge. Stopping and turning back around he ran until he reached the ladder, then he started to climb and narrowly avoided the beasts massive club. He reached halfway when the beast struck him and took his health to {HP 286}.

He rose to the top and dropped onto it, taking away a fourth of the red bar that appear, and he smirked then raced up the ladder and took a hit nearly killing him, reducing his health to {HP 34}. He sighed and drank some Estus as the beast stood down there dumbly looking up. He decided to see how effect the black firebombs were but as he got one out he then got knocked off the tower as the beast jumped up and the force of the jump knocked him off the tower and into the forest below, as a tree top impaled him through the stomach he knew no more and felt darkness.

Okay that's chap 4. Now then I know I made it seem like Naruto would always reach a bonfire, but each chap always starts at a bonfire, death or the next in line bonfire is the only way to end a chap. Okay by now you guys must know the next phrase. Please read and review, and leave comments on what weapons and such Naruto should get. Also I have a poll up for deciding the ending of the first Lordran, Naruto's travels arc. Please check out my profile for the poll.
