I know few of you have protest about Naruto being OP. And sadly it was true, he are broken character just like Gilgamesh. Did you ever see Gilgamesh having hard time in fight? The only time he have hard time is when he fight Shirou in Reality Marble and that because his pride is too damn high so he not unleash Ea at the moment they entering Reality Marble!
Naruto is like that, fighting one on one. He won't have hard time, good fight yes. But hard time? Won't be too long, he will have at first but then he slowly going to overpower his enemy. In Cannon he also like that, all his enemies win first before Naruto able to adapt to their fighting style and he win
Heck! Even I think Gilgamesh can fight Caster, Lancer, Rider, and Berserker at same time and winning! Gilgamesh are the most powerful Servant no doubt about that!
Naruto also like that, if Gilgamesh have Gate of Babylon as his Noble Phantasm, Naruto have his body and skills as Noble Phantasm. Just like Enkidu who use his body, Naruto body is his Noble Phantasm, why I make his Ninjutsu Noble Phantasm? That not Magic, it Noble Phantasm in form of attack or support. It become that because Naruto not from Nasuverse and all his power source from different energy
But unlike Gilgamesh, Naruto will have hard time to fight against 3 or 4 enemies at same time due to his close combat nature. If he fight against Berserker, Archer and Saber or Lancer, Naruto chance to win only 50% except if he entering Kyuubi Mode
Anyway! I want to tell that the first three Chapter have been edited! Hooray for that! XD you can thanks Armun-Tiger for that :)
Previous Chapter Summary
Manaka awake in morning then start to think about Naruto identity. After thinking of moment she conclude that Naruto is Gilgamesh
Naruto who hearing that only laugh and shrug it off much to Manaka dismay as she start to get more curious about Naruto. However the blonde now certainly interested to Gilgamesh. Naruto also review all information and investigation that he gain, such as Shirou Emiya as Kiritsugu adopted son, about Illyasviel, about Archer than in fact is Shirou Emiya from future, how to kill the current head of Einzbern family and else
Archer meanwhile start to thinking about the World where he summoned and find out it wasn't his timeline, however that not stop him to trying kill Emiya Shirou from this World if the Shirou in this world still latched to his ideals
But his thinking is interrupted when he feel Angra Mainyu aura from inside the Homuhara Academy and much to his dismay he didn't know anymore about his situation
Sakura Matou who start thinking about her morning about her Sempai and his status as Master suddenly confronted by Shadow, it awaken something inside her that will become problem later
Meanwhile it revealed that earlier before Archer and Sakura got contacted and sense the Shadow, Naruto removing the piece of Angra Mainyu that coating Bazett. But before it got sealed the piece of Angra Mainyu shrieked for help, prompting the black piece of Grail Angra Mainyu inside Sakura reacting to it
That night Naruto and Manaka patrol around the city again, while Naruto find severals thing about Matou family he dislike, like Shinji who arrogant, Sakura who remind him of Hinata and Zouken Matou who no longer Human. In middle fo his thought, Lancer visit him and both of them prepare to duel
Meanwhile Naruto clone who assigned to watch Ryuudou Temple see Shirou who hypnotized by Caster to visit the temple, he start to think what he should do with him
Chapter 5. Naruto vs Lancer and Invitation for Party!
Naruto and Lancer step forward, both of them staring to each other eyes while circling each other much like when Naruto clone meet with Lancer at first time
Naruto tightened the grip on his trench knives while Lancer do the same to his spear before they gone from their own place in speed, destroying the floor where they stand before
They appear in front of each other, Naruto with his trench knives that covered by 1M wind blades while Lancer with his long 2M spear
GAAAAKIN!
Naruto trench knives redirect Lancer stab that aimed to his head down to below. Naruto take step forward and move his other trench knives then deliver slash to Lancer face
Lancer pull back his face and dodge the slash, it was barely but it not reach his face. He grip his spear tightly before swing it to Naruto who jumped while flipped in air
Lancer seeing this quickly charge to Naruto who just landed with unbelievable speed as he blur in blue flash
'Fast! He faster than me!' Naruto thought with wide eyes. He barely able to bend his body and dodge the stab attack that Lancer launched, however Lancer attack manage to graze side of his stomach, drawing blood slightly
Lancer seeing this grinned. When he didn't hold back, he is fast. He can said with proud that he are the fastest Servant in this War! He cocked back his spear before launch it again
"Oooraaa! Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora!" Lancer let out battle cry as he deliver multitude stab attack. His hand blurred with very fast as he move his long spear to strike Naruto like it part of his body instead weapon
Naruto clearly have problem with that. The speed that Lancer display is rivaled Beserker or even faster! The difference is Lancer attack more accurate, fatal and flawless! It was clear that Lancer are very expert in wielding his weapon! As expected from the Child of Light!
SWOOSH! SWOOOSH! SWOOSH! CLANG! CLANG! SWOOSH! CLANG!
Naruto move his hands along with trench knives to parry Lancer attack however mostly he have to dodge since it was clear the strike not just fast but contain quite powerful, not as strong as Heracles but Lancer weapon is more deadly and durable
He bend his body to dodge another stab before move the trench knives and parry another attack but he forced to dodge another one
'This is going nowhere! I got pushed! His speed is quite something else! Even faster than Lee or Gai!' Naruto thought as he barely block another attack
"What's the matter Saver?! Having problem?! Hahaha! Keep dodging for me!" Lancer laughed as he keep move his hands with grin
Naruto who hearing that flash him smirk before he clench one of his trench knives more tight "You..." Naruto murmured "WISH!"
BANG! BOOM!
With fast, Naruto one hand punch the edge of the lance using his trench knives when it launched to him, the spear direction changed and it hit the ground
Lancer eyes widened in shock seeing this 'Damn! His power is huge! Stronger than me!' He stumble down due to Naruto strength that push his weapon to the ground. Naruto not let this opportunity slide as he immediately jump and swing his other trench knives
Lancer seeing he can't pull back his head, fasted his body to duck. It better to hit the ground rather than got silced by that. However as soon he duck, Naruto leg already in front of his face
'Shi-!'
CRUNCH! BANG!
A sound of broken bone echoed in midnight as Naruto enhanced Chakra kick hit Lancer bare face. Lancer soared away from the impact, the kick hit point blank and it launch Lancer away like some baseball just got striked into Home Run
However Lancer proved his Battle Continuation as he flip himself in air while fix his posture and landed in floor with grin through his bloody nose, forehead and teeth
'Damn! That blonde broke my nose! I almost collapse due to the impact! Several bones in my face also cracked!' Lancer thought with pained face before he grinned while fix his posture as he take stance "Heh! You good! Really good!" Lancer stated
"Talk less, act more Lancer..." Naruto responded as he twirl the trench knives before he blurred in speed
Lancer immediately move his red eyes as he try to track Naruto and he find him. He thrust Gáe Bolg to one direction and Naruto appear in there, blocking the spear with one of his trench knives
Both of them try to push each other in strength, as spark created due to their impact. And at same time both of them push each other away before grip their weapons and delivering multitude attack
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! GAAKIN! CLANG! CLANG! GAAKIN! CLANG! CLANG! GAAKIN!
Invisible long blades meet with long crimson spear. Naruto and Lancer move their hand in fast motion, the Bravery, Chakra burst and Instinct of Naruto raised his parameter to the point his hand rivalled Lancer fast strike. Lancer not even bothered by it as he also move his spear and trading blow with the blonde
Dodge, block, parry, strike! Dodge again, block again, strike again! Jump! Move! Duck! Stab! Swing! Block!
Slowly, bloodthirsty grin formed on Lancer face
Damn! Damn! Damn!
He can't believe this!
How long?! How long he have fight as good as this?!
There no deception, no lie, no trick, only battle of warrior that show their power, technique and skill!
He can't believe how fun is this!
He actually feel depressed when Bazett killed and he turned into nothing but scout! He didn't have wish to Grail, he only want good fight! And even that is not granted thanks to his new Master!
But here! Here he now... Trading blow and blow to someone who very skilled and strong warrior! Not just normal warrior but a leader! A King! A Emperor!
To trade blow to someone like Saver is honor for his warrior pride...
Lancer cocked back his spear, Mana fill it while Naruto also do the same, the wind that circling his trench knives become more wild
Both of them roared before thrust each other weapon, crimson aura meet invisible greenish wind aura
BAAAANG!
Their weapons collide to each other, Naruto and Lancer put strength to their attack and trying to overpower each other, the wind around them blow strongly, the impact destroy the floor beneath them. After a moment of clashing eventually a large impact appear in middle of their attack and each of them get pushed back by it, indicating they are equal
Naruto skidded in ground while maintain his stance, the grin that plastered ever since the beginning never left his face and the same thing could be said to Lancer as he grinning in enjoyment
Lancer stare at Naruto with slight pant. That, that was the most exciting clash he ever feel ever since this war started! It really incredible! And it feel so good!
Naruto meanwhile have similar thought. Lancer are good, he maybe not battle maniac but he do enoy some good fight sometime. He can tell Lancer give hime quite wound, he can feel there many cuts and stabs wound from his trademark with Lancer when he change blow against the spearmen and he can tell the blue haired man condition is actually worse than him
"Damn blonde! You are strong! Very strong!" Lancer stated with big grin
"Your skill is good too, as expected from Cú Chulainn, the Son of God Lugh..." Naruto responded with nod of respect make Lancer surprised
"You know?" The spearman asked
"Well, I see your battle with Saber. Your Noble Phantasm, Gáe Bolg is terrifying..." Naruto chuckled "A spear that stab heart, that is dangerous..."
"Aww you see it already! No fun blonde!" Lancer fake pouted though there still grin on his face "Very well then!" Lancer roared as he take stance, more potent and crimson Mana swirling around his spear as he glare to Naruto with challenging grin "Then, I won't show any sign of mercy! Emperor! I shall claim your heart!" He declared
Naruto who seeing this narrowed his eyes, slowly he stand firm and dispel both his weapon make Lancer narrowed his eyes back "Then come to me Cú Chulainn! I will take that attack of yours! I will block it with my own hands!" Naruto declared back with stern look
Lancer in response merely grin more fierce at that. He strengthen his stance and grip his lance more tight "Very well, your Majesty!" There no sarcasm in that voice, it was filled with respect and acknowledge "Prepare yourself!"
Manaka who staring from far have her eyes widened slightly in horror. When she see the aura that Lancer spear radiated she knew it was filled with intense Mana, filled with demonic aura. The spear that will pierce heart... If Naruto hit with that he will dead... However she knew actually Naruto won't dead... He can't dead! Naruto are her Emperor... He won't die because simple spear like that
Lancer feet is ready, more red aura burst from his spear. He glare to Naruto before he moved and leap to Naruto
"Gáe... BOLG!"
SWOOOSH! FLASH!
Naruto see it. The crimson flash that launched to him, it faster than bullet. He can see the demonic spear along with Lancer launched to him, aiming to struck his heart. He stand firm as he see the spear near and when it near, he moved
STAAAB!
Manaka and Lancer eyes widened, the Master of Saver gasped as she brought hands to her mouth. Lancer meanwhile have his eyes wide due to shock
Gáe Bolg is spear that stab the heart. No matter who is it, it will stab. It can't be blocked, even if it reversed the spear will bended itself to pierce your heart
It take very skilled or strong Noble Phantasm to block it. Arturia Pendragon manage to flee from it because her luck but even that will need a week to be healed
However Naruto know that there some hole on it... It spear that stab the heart, even if Naruto dodge it he still going to be wounded
So he take his gamble... If the spear will curse you if it not stab your heart, then let it stab you so you won't cursed
Stab, doesn't mean you will die... If it not deep enough
"You..." Lancer murmured with wide eyes and shock as blood from Naruto plastered on his face
Naruto only grinned as he caught Gáe Bolg with one hand. The spear manage to stab his heart, but it not deep enough to kill and only hit the surface of it.
"Now I see it more close, your spear is beautiful... Bright crimson like blood with torn... It like a beautiful rose..." Naruto praised with grin as blood dripped from his mouth "And it possessed by honorable warrior too..." He chuckled
Lancer who hearing that blinked before slowly grin formed on his face "That the first time someone speak about Gáe Bolg like it was some jewelry..." Lancer chuckled back as he try to pull Gáe Bolg back 'Huh? What the...' Lancer eyes widened when he feel he can't pull back Gáe Bolg
"Ah... You won't come and going home without souvenir Cú Chulainn..." Naruto exclaimed as he rise his other hand and Lancer can see there something on Naruto fingertips. It was faint... It was invisible at first but Lancer can see there some red aura that almost can't bee seen...
And that thing clearly not friendly...
'Shit! I can't pull Gáe Bolg back!' Lancer thought with shock. He stare at Naruto who grinned at him, his hand glowing with Chakra, indicate he enchant his hand with it
And for moment Lancer swear Naruto eyes flashed crimson red with slit instead saphire blue
"Kaze no Yaiba! (Blade of Wind!)" Naruto roared as he swing his other hand, the wind soared as it gaint red hue from Kyuubi Chakra
SLAAAAASH!
Blood spurt out like rain from Lancer chest as the sharp invisible wind cut through his armor. Lancer eyes widened as blood spew out from his mouth, his vision immediately get blur as he fell to his knee. He noted the cut was deep, so deep in fact it almost cut him in two
Kaze no Yaiba actually can cut through iron or steel like it was butter... That was solid A rank attack, however when Naruto use it by using Kyuubi Chakra it increased and that attack clearly more fatal if you get it from point blank like what happen to Lancer
Slowly Lancer lose his grip on Gáe Bolg and fell to his knee, allowing Naruto to pluck out the spear and drop it to the ground
"U-Ughh..." Lancer coughed some blood as he rise his head and meet Naruto who look down to him "D-Damn blonde! You are strong!" Lancer chuckled dryly
"You also not bad Lancer... You are fast, you maybe can become one of few faster warrior in my era..." Naruto responded with chuckle too.
"Only few faster? I'm fast and I can only become one of few? If what you said true then your era clearly something..." Lancer remarked before his hand moved to Gáe Bolg again much to Naruto surprise
'Battle Continuation? Ah I should expect it from this man. He are fierce warrior after all, remind me of Lee. Change the color into green I can mistake him as Lee descendant...' Naruto thought with chuckle inwardly
"Not yet..." Lancer murmured "I still can fight..." Lancer eyes suddenly become twisted and he snarled "NO! Don't you dare! I've been waiting battle like this for long time! Don't you dare to pull me back!" He growled and it was clear he angry so much
Naruto who hearing this narrowed his eyes, it seems Lancer Master wish him to return seeing the spearman lose. Manaka meanwhile seeing the situation approach both of them and stand behind Naruto
"You! You bastard!" Lancer cursed "I swear! The moment your Command Spell gone I will kill you!" He spat with so much hatred that Naruto never heard before
"That's enough Lancer.." Naruto cut him fiercely make the blue spearman turn to him "You can return and rest, this battle is over..." He stated
Lancer who hearing that gritted his teeth, he clearly not like the situation! Not a bit!
"I know what you want Lancer but if you force yourself now it won't useful..." Naruto said before he sigh a bit. He perform several hand seals before his hands glowing in green light, then he place it on Lancer chest
To Manaka and Lancer shock suddenly all the Lancer wound closed. Not much but it slowly and surely gone, Lancer can feel the pain on his chest faded away! And surely the wound on his chest is healed!
After a moment Naruto remove his hands and he stare at Lancer "There, the wound already closed. You not completely healed but at least you won't die due to blood loss, the internal injury are too deep. I suggest you rest for one day even with Servant regeneration ability that wound still something..." Naruto remarked as he stand
Lancer who seeing this only can gawked, he not believe what Naruto just did! He glance up down to Naruto for moment before asked "You can kill me with your last attack... If you stab me in heart or slice my head it will be over... But you cut me in chest... Why?" His tone is low but enough for Naruto to heard it
Naruto who hearing that merely flash Lancer foxy grin as he put back his Emperor hat "Didn't I said we only going to battle until near death situation?" Naruto asked sincerely before his face turn to stern "I'm Emperor Lancer, the moment I speak. My words will be solid, and I won't go back on my words..." He said with steel in his voice
Lancer who hearing that have wide eyes for moment before he chuckle slowly and it turned into full blow laugh
"Damn it blonde! I really like guys like you!" Lancer exclaimed "If you were woman, I will fall in love with you!" He joked lightly before he grip his spear and use it to help him stand "Very well, your Majesty. This battle is yours... I admit my lose.." He give bow to Naruto, indicating he respect him so much. He then stand firm again "But next time, I will show you the true power of Cú Chulainn!" He declared with bloodthirsty grin
Naruto in response merely grunted before he turn around, his coat waving in air "I will waiting Cú Chulainn..." He glance to Manaka and nodded "Let's leave Manaka-chan, we done here..." He stated
"Of course!" Manaka nodded back and turn to Lancer "See you next time Lancer-san..." She said politely before follow Naruto
Just when Naruto about to walk away with Manaka, Lancer called him "Wait! Your Majesty!" Naruto paused on his way and glance to him over his shoulder "Sorry for bold like this but, can you tell me your name?" Lancer asked politely
In Lancer eyes, Saver is a King. A perfect one in his eyes... This King that not just sit in his throne and let his warrior fight. But Saver is a King who stand at his soldier side and fight with them, the King that lead his army in battlefield
A King that reach his throne by working hard and be friend with all his subordinate...
That's why he show so much polite and respect to him... This man is warrior but he also King...
Lancer actually will be very honored if he serve under Saver kingdom... That's why... He want to know who Saver is...
Naruto who hearing this only silence. His face is pure stoic and Lancer for the first time didn't see any sign of prankster and joker person that trick him few days ago. His face show elegant and royalty like true King
"I'm afraid I can't do that Cú Chulainn..." Naruto remarked "I won't mind giving you my name but your Master is something else..."
Hearing that Lancer grit his teeth inwardly, he knew well what Naruto mean... With people like Kirei hearing... Who know what that priest will do?
"But... I give you some riddle... The moment you break it you will able to find my identity..." Naruto stated make Lancer eyes widened "I'm Hero that hidden in Leaf Village..." He told him
"Hero that hide in Leaf Village?" Lancer repeated in confused tone
Naruto didn't reply, instead turn around and place his hand on Manaka shoulder. And in orange flash, both of them gone like they never there
Lancer who seeing this blinked, he didn't sense Naruto or Manaka anymore. They also not close to him anymore which mean 'He use time/space manipulation! Shit, what kind of Emperor that able to do that?!' Lancer thought with wide eyes
He fell silence for moment after Naruto gone. His mind processing what Naruto said about his identity
'Lancer, do you find Saver identity?' Kirei voice boomed in his mind and Lancer hold the urge to snarl
'No, Master. I did not...' Lancer replied with disdain in Master words
'A pity... You will tell me if you find out right?' Kirei voice held no emotion but he seems amused and it clear he did that to annoy Lancer
'Maybe... If you asking me then yes, I will tell you...' Lancer answered with smug grin as he knew his Master actually not often speak with him
'Very well then... I will ask about Saver identity later... For now rest until you back to prime condition...' Kirei replied in emotionless tone before the communication cut off
Lancer who hearing that stare down at his chest. There no blood anymore however he knew damn well inside his lung is sliced and his flesh clearly slashed by Saver. He blanched at the pain before he entering astral form so he can regenerate faster
'While resting maybe I can think about Saver identity... Yeah that was good plan now... Let see which Hero that have moniker of someone that hide in Leaf Village...' Lancer thought as he close his eyes and start searching from Throne of Heroes
Meanwhile with Naruto at Ryuudou Castle when the original fighting Lancer
Naruto stare at Shirou who keep walking and getting close to Ryuudou Temple. His brain still worked as he try to make his decision is he going to help Shirou or not
Pro, if he help Shirou he will troll Caster and annoy her further! And when they meet seeing his annoyed expression will bring soooo muchh fun!
Con, Caster clearly going to target him more than before. Naruto know the woman secretly gather Mana so she can act and fight to the fullest, and no doubt she will target him immediately after that
'Eh? Where the fun if there no danger?' Naruto thought with shrug and annoying grin
Naruto jumped from his position, he materialize himself in front of Ryuudou Temple entrance where it dozens meter away from Shirou position who walking to the entrance
He grinned before he runned to Shirou
"BOOOOOY!" He yelled before he kick the ground and jumped to the front of him, he have big grin plastered on his face that remind you to certain thick eyebrow jounin
Shirou who seeing Saver run to him have wide eyes further. He try to speak or yell but thanks to Caster spell, he can't do that!
"DYYYYNNAAAAMMIIIICCCC!" Naruto take pose in the air before extend one of his leg "ENNTTRRYYYYYYYY!"
HIT! CRUNCH!
A sound of broken bone and flesh got pummeled echoed in the night as Naruto kick planted to Shirou face. With fast, Shirou immediately fly away from his position due to kick and soared far away from Naruto
BOING! BOING! BOING! BOING! BOOOM!
He bounced to the ground in comical way like pinball few times before ended crashed to one lamp, his eyes swirling comically, dirt and bruise covered him. Oh and complete with extra comical bump on top of his head
Naruto who seeing this grinned in satisfaction. He approach Shirou and see he now try his best to stand, as soon he stand Naruto give him nice guy pose complete with the grin
"Nice!" He said with flash from his teeth
"NICE MY ASS!" Shirou yelled in anger to him "YOU BROKE MY NOSE DAMN IT!" That kick was hurt! Shirou really feel that! His nose is bleeding heavily and it clearly broken!
"Ah! Shove it will you?! You suppose to thanks me! I just rescue you from Caster spell!" Naruto responded while waving his hand in dismissive manner
And Naruto swear he can hear Caster scream bloody murder to him and swearing that enough to make Anko Mitarashi blush
Shirou open his mouth to yell again but he blinked when he realize, he does free from whoever that cast spell on him. He can speak and move freely again!
"You can do that in softer way..." Shirou grumbled as he hold his nose
"Oh pooh! Cry baby... Brave yourself! You are man..." Naruto responded before he approach Shirou, his hand glowing in green aura "Stay still and let me heal you..." He place his hand to Shirou face and
CRUNCH!
"AGGHHH!"
"It didn't even hurt! What the hell you yelling about?!"
Shirou blinked when he hear Naruto said that. True, he didn't feel any pain, there the noise but there no the pain...
"S-Sorry, it kinda out of reflex..." Shirou said sheepishly
Naruto only rolled his eyes before he remove his hand, he observe Shirou face for moment before nodded "There good as new..." He said with smug tone
"Ah... Thank you Saver..." Shirou responded in sincere tone and Naruto blinked
"I'm a enemy Servant and you thanking me?"
"Yes its true! But you the first one that not attempt to kill me in our direct encounter..." Shirou said with sheepish smile
Naruto who hearing that blinked again before he chuckled "I see, well if you want to know Boy, I don't have wish to Grail and I'm Servant Saver. Killing Servant maybe in my list but Master is something else, except you arrogant bastard. If not then you save..."
Shirou who hearing that actually surprise. Not just Saver help him instead attacking him like all Servants but he also didn't have wish to Grail, something that clearly surprise
"Is that so... Maybe we could be friend Saver?" Shirou offered, Saver seems like good guy. This is the first time he encounter Servant that not willing to kill Master so he are good in his list
Naruto let out chuckle at Shirou suggestion, this kid is too good... Too kind... He almost remind Naruto of himself...
"Well, my Master is not agree with that kid. You see my Master is someone who have to see something interesting, if not there will be problem. We will fight sooner or later kid and it won't be good if we become friend. I, myself actually won't mind since I have experience where I have to kill my friend in past but you is another thing..." Naruto replied with bitter tone
"What? You kill your own friend?! Why?!" Shirou demanded and can't help but shocked at that
"Because he raise rebellion army in my Kingdom. I have no choice to execute him..." Naruto sighed "If I didn't execute him then it will cost thousands innocent people died. I, maybe going to save one of my friend over hundred people if I can but one friend over hundreds of my friend is another case... I won't sacrifice hundreds of my comrades just for one friend..." He stated bitterly before stare at Shirou with elderly look "If we be friend it will only make you harder when we fight and I don't want you hesitate to finish me if you can and it will cost dearly to you..."
Shirou who hearing that utterly shocked. This is the first time he heard some story like that, he actually angry when Saver kill his own friend but when hear his reason he can't help but reluctantly agree. It not just about him, but it about people who also around Saver. If Saver decide to back down then the people around Saver going to fall
'But he killing his own friend!' Part of his mind yelled
'To save his other friends!' Another part of his mind retorted
'Had my imagination and dream fool me so much? Have I been too drown to my ideal that I not even think about that? What if the barrier in school actually Shinji doing?' Shirou thought with realization! If what he thinking is true then, the people in school mostly will die!
Issei, Fuji-nee, Sakura, Mitsuzuri! And everyone! The barrier will suck them dry!
No! Shirou can't have that! He can't have them die! Not on his watch! If it was Shinji doing... Then... Then...
Shirou really wish it not Shinji doing...
"H-How... How you dealing with it when you know you will kill your friend?" Shirou stammered to Saver
Naruto who hearing that only silence. He knew Shirou must be thinking about Shinji. This kid is... Too... Plain... Too... Pure and... Too sad...
"It not good kid, trust me. And it will leave scar..." Naruto remarked bitterly "But remember... Remember what going to happen if I not stop him? More of my friends going to die, just because I'm not kill one friend..." He said sternly before sighed "Remember this Shirou-kun, to save one life another life must be sacrificed. You can't save anyone, not even Gods can save everyone... It was basic rule in the universe, just like you have to wait for three minutes to create instant ramen... No one can change that... Then what make you can?" He asked in steel tone as his blue eyes pierce Shirou gold eyes
'What the connection between instant ramen and saving life?' Shirou thought with sweatdrop, however he can't deny what Saver said is true. It like what Kirei said, there must be villain so hero can born and to save one life another must be sacrificed. The hero have to kill the villain in order to save everyone...
However before he able to said anything suddenly Saver jumped away from him just in time to dodge numerous swords that rain down to where his position before
"Shirou!"
Shirou turn and see Saber dashed, armor and her invisible sword is ready
"Saber!" Shirou called in joy
Saber immediately stand in front of her Master, she rise her blade and glare to Saver
"Saver!" Saber growled "You will pay for what you did to Shirou!" She dashed to Saver with Prana Burst to her leg and rise her sword
"Wait! Saber!" Shirou called as he try to stop Saber but the King of Britain ignore him
Naruto clicked his tongue he enchant Chakra to his leg before jump back and perform few hand seals with fast "Fūton : Shinkūgyoku! (Wind Release : Vacuum Sphere!)" Naruto spew out numerous bullets of sharp wind while he make distance from Saber
Saber who seeing this have her eyes wide slightly but keep dashed. Doesn't matter, she still have her Magic Resistance. Such thing won't affect her too-
However suddenly an image of her body pierced by numerous attack and creating hole on parts of her body flashed in her mind
She immediately follow her instinct and stop dashing before rise her swords and block the numerous bullets, but one attack graze her skin and it drawing blood from it make her eyes widened in shock
'That... That not Magic! It was something else!' Saber thought with wide eyes 'f that bullets pierce me... I'm done for...' Saber gritted her teeth as she rise her blade
Naruto only flash her grin under his hat before his instinct screamed. He duck under slash from Archer before pulling kunai and enchant it with Chakra then block attack from Archer Bakuya slash
"Archer! Nice night isn't it?" He greeted
Archer response merely push Naruto away before delivering multitude slash with one sword but Naruto block it, however Archer focus his strength more and swing his sword to Naruto again. The blonde block it but Archer strength proved superior from the clone and he easily push away Naruto who blown away much like when he first against Lancer, Naruto bounced to the ground first due to impact but he flipped and balance himself
"Yes, its nice night..." Archer said with cynical smirk
"It will be more nice if you not blow me away..." Naruto replied in same tone
Saber also step forward and take stance with her sword, she glare to Saver while fix her posture. Ready to charge to him
"Wait! Wait!"
Archer and Saber turn to Shirou who running to them, his expression show worry and concern
"You can't attack him!" He exclaimed much to Saber and Archer shock
"Kid, have you hit your head or something?" Archer asked wiht furrowed eyebrow
"Shirou! He just hypnosis you using spell and lure you to here! You can't just let him go like that!" Saber said with growl to Shirou, she knew Shirou is kind but this is another thing!
"Its not him! It was Caster!" Shirou argued make Saber and Archer surprise "She use some spell on me not Saver, in fact Saver here is the one that release me from that spell... If not because him, I will be hypnotized and already entering the temple..."
Saber paused when hearing that. She turn to Saver with stern look "Is that true?"
"Why you asking me? You just want to slice me moment ago and now you questioning me why I save your Master? Aren't you suppose to take advantage in your situation now?" Naruto asked with deadpan tone and Saber right eye twitched
"He's right, rather than questioning we should attack him first then interrogate him later. He still enemy Servant regardless if he save your Master..." Archer added with knowing look make Saber glare to her that clearly spoke 'shut up!'
"If you did save Shirou then I must say thank you. Though I don't know why you save my Master but at least I have to express my grateful to you..." Saber responded sternly
"Maa. Not need to stiff like that, just doing something that interesting..." Naruto said while waving his hand "Anyway, its been quite late. I suggest you go to sleep now since the Boy over there have to school tomorrow..."
"He right! Saber we can let him go for now, he not bad guy after all. We can fight him next time, think it as reply of gratitude..." Shirou offered to Saber. He didn't want to fight the one that just save his life after all, if they going to fight it will be later
Saber who hearing that slowly turn to Archer as if demanding some suggestion. Archer notice her look and only shrugged in response as if told her 'It your decision'
Finally Saber sighed and give reluctant nod "Very well. I think I can deal with that, we will cease fire with you for tonight Saver..." Saber stated
Naruto only snorted at that. He actually can gone and flee from them without much problem if he want but yeah, let them have the fun okay?
"I feel so grateful..." Naruto remarked sarcastically make Saber glare to him
Saber then turn to the temple with narrowed eyes "Now since we here already, why don't we check on this temple?"
"Eh? I won't do that if I were you..." Naruto suggested "Unlike all Servant class, Caster is one of hell in defense. Attacking her in her own territory could be said suicide, you will need plan at least to deal with her..." Naruto answered
"And how you know that Saver? And also why you in here at first anyway?" Archer asked skeptically
"Well, I already investigate this place few days ago. And for why I'm here... Well I just patrolling this area, we are in War so such thing is common... But if you want to visit Caster, be my guest..." Naruto responded to Archer with shrug. He then stare at Archer eyes sternly and that moment Archer on instinct hold his breath
The blue eyes that meet with his gray orb as if the eyes of King who judging someone... Archer who seeing that eyes can tell Saver is not normal Servant... Not just he possess strong power and skill but he also a King... Just like Saber...
'This man... He... He almost like Gilgamesh... Who is he?' Archer thought with wary as he observing Saver
Saver who seeing Archer inwardly can't help but feel pity. To think Shirou Emiya, kind boy who always helping people in his school turned to this person... There nothing in his eyes... It was hollow... And filled with pain... Pain of betrayal... And pain of hollowness... It was the pain of someone that forced to see how his ideal and dream throwed back to their face... The one that betrayed by their own ideal...
'To see one young man like that turned into someone like this...' Naruto let out sigh outwardly before turn away from Archer who narrowed his eyes at Naruto seeing he do that after see him "Anyway, I won't stop you to try check on Caster Temple, but you must know that attacking to some Magus stronghold is stupid. Especially the one that summoned as Servant..." He pointed before he pull something out from his robe, it was tri-pronged kunai and he toss it to Shirou
"Eh?" Shirou caught the kunai before he blinked and see Naruto with confusing look, Saber and Archer at his side also give the Emperor a look
"That was special tool made by me... If you in life threatening condition channel Prana then throw it to the ground..." Naruto remarked "Think that as extra gift... But remember you only can use it once and it will only work once..." He explained. It was lie of course but with Rin on his side, Naruto sure if he told him it can be used few times the Tohsaka Heiress will use it for her advantage
"Eh? I-Is that so... T-Thank you then Saver!" Shirou said sincerely with smile
Saber who hearing only narrowed her eyes. She can't sense anything from Saver weapon, it not Noble Phantasm only simple kunai "Wait Shirou, it could be trap..." Saber warned as she glare to Saver
"Well, actually that's not. And don't bother to ask me what is it, it a surprise and I only going to give you one. Now if you excuse me I will leave. Ja Ne, Archer-kun, Shirou-kun and Saber-chan!" Naruto said before he jump away and gone in astral form then active his Presence Concealment
"Wait! Saver! You!" Saber growled as she about to after Saver but then her eyes widened when she can't sense him anymore 'What?! How he did that?! Did he teleport away? Ridiculous! That hazy blur clearly show he entering astral form! But how I can't sense him anymore?!'
Archer who seeing this also have similar thought. Saver presence suddenly gone when he entering astral form which mean...
"He have Presence Concealment..." Archer murmured with wide eyes. What the hell?! Not just Saver is one of hell fighter that could go toe on toe with Berserker but he also have trait of Assassin! What next?! He can use True Magic and riding?!
Oh if only you know Archer...
"Presence Concealment?" Shirou asked in confused
"It was skill that possessed by Assassin-class. It the capacity to hide one's presence as Servant..." Saber explained "But how Saver possess it?" She murmured in clear confused and shocked tone.
Judging by Saver who just can't be detected she assume that at least it was A rank, the user won't be able to be detected as long he didn't intent to attack but he can be noticed if he prepare to attack
'Saver clearly the most dangerous one in here... He possess strength that on par with Berserker but he also possess Presence Concealment! It almost like super powered Assassin! Could it be he trained as Assassin when he were alive? But what kind of Assassin that become Emperor?' Saber thought with confusion and frustrate
"Saber?"
She broke out from her mind as her Master call her. She turn to Shirou with her usual calm look
"You okay?" Shirou asked
"I'm fine Shirou. Anyway, we should strike this temple now while we here..." Saber suggested as she glance to Ryuudou Temple
"But what Saver said is true, it could be trap! Attacking some Magus in their own stronghold without proper plan is dangerous!" Shirou argued
"In battle nothing is certain.." Saber argued back "Traps will always happen, I still think it would be best to go now. We also already in here, why don't we attacking?"
"Well this one is very obvious trap..." Archer remarked cynically "I, for once agree with the boy. Even if he fool but rushing thing won't be good, it better if we retreat for now..." He pointed, ignoring glare from Shirou
Saber who hearing that scowled, didn't like the situation. However when she turn and see concern on Shirou eyes reluctantly she nodded
"Very well, if you two think like that. We will retreat for now..." Saber said with sigh before she turn to Shirou and glance at the kunai "What you going to do with it?"
"Well... I going to use it if something urgent happen. Saver seems good guy..." Shirou answered as he grip the weapon Saver give to him
Saber who hearing that only silence. True as this far Saver didn't do anything to them, he like neutral party and she can tell Saver have his honor. He not seems type of guy who will go back on his word very easy
Archer narrowed his eyes at the weapon, that was only steel. No, he can tell the steel of that kunai is high level. It even harder than gold... Other than that he can't sense anything from it...
And just like that, they glance to each other before decide to go home...
'If I recall Caster should possess Rule Breaker... Maybe I can make deal with her...' Archer thought with narrowed eyes 'But...' A feeling of Angra Mainyu aura crawl to his spine and he shuddered 'That feeling before... Could it be that why I got summoned here? Damn it! On other hand I want to kill this Boy for his stupidity but on another hand, it was clear that the Shadow can't be ignored...' Archer grind his teeth under his calm face as he began to mulling over what he should do
With Kirei Kotomine
Kirei who observing the battle between Lancer and Saver through his Servant eyes frowned
This Servant Saver is strong... Very strong... According to his observation this one clearly stronger than Arturia Pendragon aka Saber. No, not the current Saber who got her status lowered due to Shirou Emiya not being proper Magus but the Saber who fighting in Fourth Holy Grail War
Saber is noted to be the strongest Servant other than Gilgamesh of course during that war and this Saver clearly stronger than her
Saver Master, as Kirei said seems not act so much in Saver battle. It as if she only act as sidekick and watching the battle, she didn't appear to be someone that able to become threat
Then again, Kirei himself is Priest and yet, he are very trained killer... Appearance could be deceiving...
But what more make Kirei worried is Saver eyes...
While he didn't meet Saver directly and can't tell what kind of person he is due to that but the eyes when Saver glance to Lancer when the spearman ask him about his identity is the look that very familiar to Kirei...
It was the eyes that Gilgamesh often give when he judging someone...
Eyes of King... Of Lord... Of Emperor in Saver case...
No doubt this Saver class is not to be underestimated... He are strong, to take Gáe Bolg head on like that... It need very good Instinct and Luck...
Kirei concluded that is very obvious Saver have those two as Personal Skills, and he also have Prana Burst much like Saber...
And there another thing too...
Like Lancer, Kirei do noted that Saver eyes is flashed into crimson with slit for moment. And unlike Gilgamesh red eyes, Saver red eyes is more feral and like beast
Not just this Servant have ability as Assassin but he have skill of warrior and if he true then possibly Saver also have Mad Enhancement seeing that red eyes
This Servant also possess speed that rival Lancer, class have strength that stronger than Saber class, Presence Concealment, clone ability and stealth like Assassin class and lastly he also good in throwing projectile like Archer class...
It decided, Saver is opponent that can't be underestimated... His Master won't act much, Kirei can tell that and she will leave full battle to Saver...
"What bothering you Kirei?"
Kirei turned to see Gilgamesh step out from the shadow, during these few days Gilgamesh actually not go out from Church since he playing some game in his place. Final Fantasy VII if Kirei recall
"Nothing for you to worry... It just about Saver..." Kirei said
"Oh? That extra Mongrel who lying about his status as Assassin..." Gilgamesh remarked "What about him?"
"He are... Very skilled... His speed rivaled Lancer and his strength surpass Saber... And his skill also clearly surpass them..." Kirei answered almost like robot
"Hoo?" Gilgamesh eyes narrowed at that. Anyone who possess strength and skill surpass his Saber is something else, granted if it Berserker he won't care. That class is nothing but mad dog "This Mongrel that skilled huh? Hmm perhaps maybe there something for this Saver class" He mused
"And my King... There time when I see his eyes through Lancer eyes, I can tell his eyes is similar like you..." Kirei continued make Gilgamesh blinked
"What you mean by that Kirei? Are you implying my eyes is on same level with that Mongrel?" Gilgamesh asked coldly as he feel offended
"No my King... What I mean is Saver possess same look like you when he judging someone... I think his tittle as Emperor isn't a fluke..." Kirei explained with his face remain unchange ever since the beginning, he not even bothered by Gilgamesh silence threat
Now that get Gilgamesh attention. If it someone else who speak like that he will sneered and punish the man for such offended words to dare sully his name, but someone like Kirei is something else. He knew Kirei won't lie and while Kirei is empty man who not feel anything but Kirei knew his place and who he looking to...
"Lancer also seems hold him in high regard. He even call him 'Your Majesty' to him with high respect..." Kirei continued
"That Dog recognize him as King?" Gilgamesh asked with narrowed eyes. He had see Lancer from far, true both of them never meet but he can tell that dog is lack of respect even if it toward his true Master. And to think this man make that dog respect him like that, this Saver maybe not just pretender. Perhaps like Iskandar the King of Conqueror, while true that man can be too laidback but he still King that the King of Heroes respect
His ideology is good even for Gilgamesh standard and he one of few people that manage to impress him. He not half baked King but also true King, while not as great as him but he have his own reason and Gilgamesh can tolerate that
"I see... That quite interesting..." Gilgamesh murmured after moment of thinking before grin appear to his face "I guess I will visit this Servant by myself and see what kind of person is he..." He remarked. He will judge this Servant either he worthy his attention or not
"You going to looking for him tomorrow?" Kirei asked
"No... This Servant can wait..." Gilgamesh scoffed "I still have something to finish and I intent to finish it in three days..."
In another words, Gilgamesh want to finish his game first before visiting Saver. That was what Kirei thought
"Give me description of this Saver-class Kirei..."
"He have bright spiky blonde hair, blue eyes, whisker marks, and he wearing orange..." Kirei told Gilgamesh make the King of Heroes blinked
"Whisker marks? The one that plastered on fox or cat face?" Gilgamesh asked in almost deadpan tone
"Yes..."
Well... Isn't that very strange? What kind of Heroic Spirit that have whisker marks on his face?
'Hmph! Regardless, I will see what kind of person is this Mongrel later. For now I have task to finish...' Gilgamesh thought as he turn around
He already start playing Final Fantasy VI when Lancer moved from his summoner to Kirei... It almost a week and he intent to finish this game in a week...
Such trivial task is very fitting for a King...
Back with Naruto and Manaka
Both of them appear via flash to their residence, and as soon they appear Manaka immediately latched on Naruto and place her hand to caress the wound on his chest
"Naruto! Are you okay?" She asked worriedly
Naruto only nodded, while true it hurt so much to have your heart pierced even if it only surface but he fine. Sasuke have destroy his right lung and creating hole on it, another Chidori pierce just few cm above his heart
And there Neji attack too, he close 64 fatal point of his Tenketsu! And damn bitch reopen it fucking hurt! Even if it with Kurama Chakra!
And there against Orochimaru in Forest of Death
And there against both Idiot Brother plus Mizuki in his tiger form
And there against Kabuto too! That freaky glasses cut the tendon on his heart! Fuck that! It hurt!
And there still soo many fatal wound he received! It so many that it make him forget! He got that all when he twelve! Fucking twelve!
So a little graze to surface of his heart isn't too hurt. And Kurama healing plus his own also helped, the wound already healed though it still there. Naruto noted it will take half day for it to be healed
"Ah poor my Emperor... I knew it won't kill you but still..." Manaka trailed as her fingers touch Naruto chest, she let the blood wash her hand and she stare at it for moment
Before she brought to her face and lick it... Like it was soup...
Then she moaned like she just eat some 5 star grade hotel food...
Naruto really start to getting uncomfortable...
"Even your blood is so tasty... My Emperor..." Manaka whispered in dreamy tone as she leaned to Naruto and rest her body to his chest
"Manaka-chan..." Naruto sighed as he grab her shoulder and slowly push her away "We can have you act like that later, for now what you want?" He asked. He knew Manaka won't be satisfied with the battle that battle, not enough. After witnessing his fight against Berserker Manaka will want to see more "Except having sex of course..." Naruto added as he see sparkle and gleam on her eyes
Manaka openly pouted at that "Why?"
Naruto who hearing this really have to think hard. Manaka isn't like other people, if he explain about Servant-Master relationship even if it in warm way a people like Manaka won't take it well... And it also can ruin the path he readying for her...
"Manaka-hime... You obsessed to me..." Naruto pointed and Manaka shamelessly nodded "I don't want to have sex with someone that obsessed Hime. If I did it at least I want the person who have sex with me is genuine in her feeling..." He stated firmly and its true. He actually didn't mind to have sex with Manaka however if he do that with Manaka in her current state of her mind it will become problem... Really problem...
If Manaka want to have sex with him, she must love him... A people like Manaka only can be changed properly when they feel that one, not love that come from obsession but love that come from sincere feeling
Love after all, is the strongest emotion that living being can feel... And it even can change Saint into Murderer, and also can change Psychopath into Saint... Never underestimated it because it fire is very hot that it rivaled flame of God
Manaka who hearing that taken back by Naruto statement. Love... She never feel that... No she not lying... She really never feel that emotion... Manaka while putting mask on public but all of them is totally mask
She never love any of her friends in school, she never have silly crush, she never love her parent, and neither her sister... She never love anyone...
The mask she build... Is never mean to feel anything but her own joy...
It because if everyone see her true nature there no one will accept her... Except another one like her or another one that twisted in their own way...
Normal people won't accept her... That was the fact...
But here Naruto... Naruto is anomaly for her... He are normal one... He have sense of moral, code of honor, and just like majority people he can display kindness without need to put a mask
But he accept her... Even when they just met he not show any sign he disturbed by her... He not disgusted to her... He, normal man... Well maybe not too normal but at least he are okay for the World, accepting her... He wish to guide her... To save her... To fix her path...
'Love?' Manaka thought with bitter... Does she love Naruto? A part of her mind told her that she not... A normal psycho will declare that she love him so much but part of her moral that still there tell her that she not...
She just obsessed to him... It not love...
Naruto of course notice the conflict in Manaka mind as he can see even if Manaka still smiling like angel but the light on her eyes dimmed. He release the grip on her shoulder slowly before stare at her eyes with softer look
"While true I won't mind to have sex with you, but I mind it for you. Woman virginity is Sacred Manaka-hime. I don't want you throw it just like it some garbage... Even for someone like you it still Sacred one... You have to do it to the person you love..." Naruto told her softly. Though inwardly he grimace at the way he talk, he never good explaining something like this topic, if only Jiraiya or Kakashi here. It kinda awkward seeing he are man but talking like this to woman
Manaka who hearing that blinked once. She seems pondered what Naruto said before slowly giggle escape from her mouth "You know, I found it strange for you talking about woman like that..." She pointed and Naruto hold the urge to blush in embarrassment
"Yeah, I also feel awkward saying something like that. But the point is, you can't sacrifice your first time over obsession..." Naruto remarked awkwardly as he give sheepish grin to Manaka
Manaka response only another giggle as she stare at Naruto before her eyes fell to his chest "Oh my, it already healed..." She murmured as she rise her hand and wipe away the blood
"I'm healing fast Manaka-chan,..." Naruto chuckled before he review his situation
He now already knew all Servants and their own Master... During observing through his clone that commanded to watch the Ryuudou Temple, he find a man who reek of Mana. It signature almost similar like the Boundary Field that covered Ryuudou Temple, and only one person that can creat that field... Caster...
However to Naruto shock that man actually not Magus. He can't sense any Mana or Prana from him but his eyes... And his posture when walking... That man is killer... High trained one... He resemble someone from Root... A man that trained to be killer ever since he were child...
To think someone like that is teacher and live in this city... Well not surprising since there Yakuza who reside in this town too...
Naruto can't imagine if that man is Magus too... He will be strong... Very strong... Luckily he not...
'Right... Now I know all the Master in this war save for Lancer... Rider controlled by Matou, Saber by Shirou, Archer by Tohsaka, Assassin and Caster by Souchirou Kuzuki, Berserker by Illyasviel von Einzbern...' Naruto thought as he recall the info he gain this far
50 Kage Bunshin... Each of them not become clone but something like Servant... True their endurance only E- but if they entering Sage Mode it will become C- and hold their ground quite good... Their power will become B with Agility also A
He grinned inwardly at that thought... He no doubt are the strongest Servant now and can beat anyone... Well that wasn't surprise actually seeing he are broken character. Naruto of course aware of this, he are Emperor of his World, the Ninja that fighting someone who create the whole new World easily. True he not as strong as his prime but he still strong enough to fight against Uchiha Madara on his prime plus Rinnegan toe on toe. And that damn blasted Uchiha is fricking strong that can summon planetoids down like it some child play
'Though I won't use Kage Bunshin to fight enemy except they outnumber me so much... Where the fun if I always fight and win? No... There won't be any fun, while true my goal is to destroy Grail but at least I can have some fun eh? I been dead for hundreds years after all...' Naruto thought with satisfaction before he turn to Manaka "So what you want to do now?"
"I don't know... I find it was very interesting today, the battle against Lancer is quite good..." Manaka answered with hum "Surprise me!" She demanded
Naruto who hearing that only hummed back, his face turned to thoughtful one "Hmm... I actually want to hide this until there only few Servants left but... Well, I guess I can use this event for opening..." Naruto stated
"Huh?" Manaka asked with confused look
"Well for now let's go to rest!"
"Eh?! What about the surprise?!"
"I will tell you tomorrow!"
"B-But!"
"Himeee-chaaan..."
"Aww, you can't use that eyes to me! It cheating my Emperor!"
"Himee-chaaaan..."
"Fine! Fine! I will wait until tomorrow!"
"Yosh!"
That midnight 2.15 AM, Emiya Residence
Saber eyes suddenly flutter open from her sleep. She quickly stand and her armor ready
When she sleep she suddenly feel something crossing the Boundary Field on Emiya Residence, it enter without permission and it make the Boundary Field alert them
She leave from her room and see Shirou also just leave from his room, he still wearing his sleeping outfit and his face seems still need rest
"Saber!" Shirou called "Something entering Boundary Field!"
"I know, stay here Shirou. Let me and Archer deal with this!" Saber stated before she dashed, her invisible sword ready
"Wait! I'm going with you!"
Saber didn't bother to reply as she knew her Master is damn stubborn. When she and Shirou arrive they see Archer already in living room waiting for them
"Archer! Who the intruder?" Saber asked
Archer who been called turn to her and he have strange look on his face "Well... Apparently it was girl and she does alert the Boundary Field, but after that she went to front door and-"
KNOCK! KNOCK!
Everyone turn their attention to the door that been knocked. Archer and Saber share a look and they nodded to each other, the silver haired man tracing bow with arrow ready on his hand, aimed to the door and Saber slowly approach the door
As she near the door she didn't sense any danger either hint the intruder will attack so she open it
To her surprise, she granted by view of girl around 8, she have short bright orange hair and brown eyes. She wearing formal green kimono with white flower design and red obi
The girl seeing Saber smiled before bow down to Saber "Hello Saber-sama, my name is Misaki. I come on behalf of Saver-sama..."
Saber who hearing that blinked, once, twice. She stare at the little girl with narrowed eyes, this girl no doubt is Servant. She can tell she not Human, but why there another Servant?! Is it ability of Saver?!
Meanwhile Shirou in background who seeing the girl seeing no harm decide to approach them
"Ah? Saver? Misaki-san, you know Saver?" Shirou asked in surprise seeing this
"Yes, I'm Saver-sama familiar, you can say something like that..." Misaki exclaimed with polite smile "Don't worry Saber-sama, Archer-sama, I won't harm any of you. I swear on Saver-sama honor..." Misaki said as she see Saber and Archer still tense
Hearing that Saber slowly lower her stance. As much she knew, Saver are honorable man and if this girl really saying that then it should be fine though she still prepare to attack anytime
"And what make us think it was Saver who send you? You could be someone from Caster allies..." Archer remarked skeptically
Misaki in response reach something from under her kimono chest and pull out tri-pronged Kunai "Saver-sama give one of this to Emiya-sama, only he possess this item. Will it good enough for the proof?" She asked in polite tone
Archer staring at the kunai and notice there no different from the one that Saver give and slowly nodded "What Saver message?" He asked
Misaki who seeing them smile politely before speak
Meanwhile at Ryuudou Temple
"An invitation?" Caster asked with blink of surprise under her hood as she stare at the red haired girl around 8, wearing violet kimono adorned by red rose in front of her. She actually resting in her room but Assassin call her and said there someone wish to talk with both of them
"Yes, an invitation... Saver-sama wish to invite you two in feast that he will make..." The girl answered with nod
"Oh? And why should we come? It actually can your Master plan to ambush us in there..." Caster scoffed. She really hate Saver, not just he messed with her but he also dare to thwart her plan today! Thanks to him she can't have Saber!
She swear the moment they fight, she will tear him apart. Stab him with Rule Breaker and make him into her personal slave!
The little girl hearing that lost her smile and it replaced by pure stoic face "Don't you dare to sully Saver-sama honor and words Caster-sama. If there one thing that Saver-sama always hold is he never go back on his words..." The girl said sternly
Caster who hearing that snorted loudly, not even feel threatened by the little girl. Assassin seeing the situation quickly step forward to cool down the tension and speak
"My apologize for her rude manner Ojou-san..." Assassin spoke gently "But could you tell us why Saver-san want to invite us in his feast?"
"Apology accepted Sasaki-sama. Oh about that, you not the only one who invited..." The girl said with her smiley face back again
At that Caster and Assassin eyes narrowed
Near Matou Residence
"You invite the whole Servants?" Rider asked in surprise as she stare down at the dark blue haired little girl with golden eyes wearing blue kimono adorned with yellow flower
"Yes! Saver-sama invite all participant of Fifth Holy Grail War. Not just the Servants but if you want the Master also can come, this feast is held as opening for the Holy Grail War. As the extra Servant in this Holy Grail War, Saver-sama wish to held party for 7 Main Class seeing all class already knew each other..." The girl answered with smile
Rider who hearing that furrowed her eyebrow under her eye mask. She knew actually that Naruto isn't Assassin and have heard about the extra class. And it seems her guess proved true
This Saver-class Servant certainly interesting... And dangerous one too...
"You know there will be battle between them... You put 14 people who want to killing each other in one room after all..." Rider pointed
In response the girl smile only widened a bit
"Saver-sama declare that there won't be any battle in there... It feast with purpose to open this War and pure enjoyment before War begin. Though Saver-sama only saying rather than War this more like Battle Royal..." The girl remarked
"And what make you think everyone will follow that order?" Rider asked
If it possible the girl smile get more wide
At Einzbern Forest
"Trust me Einzbern-sama. You won't like it if you think you are invincible because you have Berserker-sama who have ten lives... What Saver-sama do when fighting Berserker-sama is only a fraction of his true power..." The girl with pale white hair, tanned skin and golden eyes said with sweet smile
Illyasviel staring at the girl below her from Berserker shoulder with thoughtful face hearing that.
She actually very surprise when see some little girl entering her forest and wish to speak with her. And what more is this girl is familiar of Saver. Not just Saver is strong and can go toe on toe with her Berserker but he also unique
She actually going to scoff at the girl remark but after witnessing the battle between Saver and Berserker but she must admit that Saver is strong, very strong indeed
"I doubt any Servant or Master going to follow that rule..." Illya snorted
"Its true, that's why you free to come or not. Saver-sama still going to wait for the guest for one hour at best, however the moment you come you won't attack another guest. You can insult them or bad mouth them but there will be limit and there won't be any fight. The moment you accept to that invitation is same like King invite you to dinner, will you spat at the dinner where King held his dinner?" The girl pointed "And any Servants or Master who fight each other in that place will receive death punishment immediately from Saver-sama. He won't hesitate to kill you with all his might and trust me, Saver-sama is very skilled Assassin in his live. You won't even know that you already dead..." She finished proudly
"Oh? Isn't Saver suppose to be Emperor? What kind of Emperor that fight like that?" Illya asked
"An Emperor can clean any Mongrels who didn't respect the Emperor with any way he wish... After all, who will care if Mongrels die even if it killed by dirty way?" The little girl stated sternly as she stare to Illya who sit above Berserker shoulder without flinch under the mad giant glare "Beside, you are princess right Illya-sama? Surely you have manner, when you invited and the moment you accept it surely you know that you are guest in my Emperor place..." The girl remarked
Illya who hearing that huffed her cheeks before glare to the little girl "Of course I know about that! You didn't need to remind me! Hmph! I will think either I will come or not later, I can't give you straight answer since I need to think first, will it be okay?"
"Of course Illya-sama! Berserker-sama also can come if you wish to though it won't be necessary since Saver-sama will protect you the moment you arrive in his place..." The girl answered softly
"Hmm... I will think about that later too! Ah, how about the dress code?"
"Its free, you can wear any outfit and naked too if you wish..." The girl replied with bright smile and closed eyes, missing Illya slight blush "You can wear your combat outfit too if you don't believe to Saver-sama..." The girl finished
Back to Emiya Residence
"Here is the place where you Saver-sama waiting for you... Please come at 09:00PM." Misaki said as she hand Saber some paper and she take it
"You want to held feast at Fuyuki Bridge?" Saber asked with disbelief tone and Archer with Shirou also surprised hearing that.
"Oh, no. That place won't be where we have our feast. That place only the entrance, Saver-sama noted that the bridge structure and design is acceptable for the entrance since it the best road he can find in this city..." Misaki explained "When you reach the bridge, there will be another familiars waiting for you. They will teleport you to real place..."
"I see..." Saber nodded as she accept the reason
"Very well, I will leave then. Sorry for disturb your sleeping time... Good bye, Emiya-sama, Saber-sama and Archer-sama.." Misaki said as she excuse herself with polite bow
"Wait, Misaki. You can come in and take some tea first if you want..." Shirou offered politely
"Ah, I'm sorry but I can't Emiya-sama. I have my duty and must leave, but thank you for the offer..." Misaki politely rejected
"Well if you say so then... Just call me Shirou anyway..." Shirou said as he feel uncomfortable to be addressed like that, he already have enough with Saber
"If you say so Emiya-sama..." Misaki giggled slightly before she give another polite bow and leave
Shirou who seeing Misaki leave close the door before sighed a bit "What a polite little girl..." He murmured "So... You will come to this feast?" He asked to Saber
"It up to you Shirou, while true this is so obvious but I believe Saver won't play dirty trick. As much I can tell during our encounter with him these last few days, he are honorable man and his Emperor title isn't lie..." Saber answered as she stare at Shirou
She still remember there familiar meeting like this in previous war. She talk with her fellow King that time about the Grail, and it actually won't end well for her.
Archer for first time only silence and didn't make skeptical response. He knew what kind of man Saver after their eyes meet... Saver is killer... But not normal killer, he are King just like Saber but he can become more harsh if the situation demanded and won't be lenient. As example, Lancelot kill few Knight of Round Table to save Guinevere, Saber may won't execute him even after that but if it Saver, he will kill him for that..
So he knew Saver have his honor and pride though Archer sure he can abandon it if more important thing demand it...
"Well... I'd like to come, Saver seems nice and good guy. But we have to discuss it with Tohsaka first..." Shirou responded to Saber words
"That acceptable..." Saber stop and turn to the clock and notice it was 2:30 "There still time, Shirou you better sleep. You will need it since you have school tomorrow..." She commanded
"Hai, hai..."
Now I know you want to protest about Gáe Bolg. But as far I read there no anything about my method to avoid Gáe Bolg attack. Logically Gáe Bolg is spear that stab heart, it did stab Naruto heart but only it surface. That method is crazy and risky, and only someone like Naruto will dare to do that
Admit it Naruto most luck is come from his stupidity -_-"
As for Lancer respect about Naruto, Lancer are wild warrior we all know that. Naruto is best king for Lancer opinion because Naruto is Emperor who come with his Soldier to battlefield and lead them
Naruto is Emperor but he also formidable warrior, that's why Lancer respect him that much. Though he will be less formal later, that situation is just to show how much he respect Naruto, thanks for A++ Charisma
And yes! Naruto talk with Emiya and give him Hiraishin Kunai! Naruto decide to give some advice to our Favorite Emiya! There will be more scene about their talk later in next chapter!
And yes too! Naruto start meeting of Servants just like Banquet of King in Fourth Grail War! The place where he will held the event will be secret XD
It involving Hiraishin though, he will use it as transportation...
