"Listen carefully Naruto, I'm going to get out of this city and head to the next village. You should come with me too." Sasuke said gravely. Naruto stared at Sasuke with an awkward expression.

"Sorry Sasuke...I can't, my friends need me. B-But hey! Why don't you come with us?" Naruto yelled happily, Sasuke looked away and narrowed his eyes.

"Listen Naruto, I know this place better than you do. It would be wise if you come with me." Sasuke explained serenely, crossing his arms.

Naruto chuckled, "That doesn't matter to me Sasuke. In the end, my friends need me. I told you Sasuke, my friends and I stood in the line for ages to buy this game. I can't leave them. Kiba will kill me! Why don't you just come with us? I-I mean they wouldn't mind or anything." The blonde explained shaking his head. He wanted to go with Sasuke...but he couldn't! He couldn't just leave his friends behind! He wanted Sasuke to come with them to. Although, he knew Sasuke wouldn't.

"I guess I'll see you around sometime. Don't get yourself killed dobe." Sasuke said as he turned around and began walking, his hair foreshadowing his eyes. If it was just one more person, I wouldn't have minded but there are more than just one or two, Naruto has a lot of friends.

"Sasuke..." Naruto mumbled under his breath. "Don't get yourself killed either teme!" Naruto shouted back making Sasuke stop.

He glanced over his shoulder before smirking, "As if." And with that Sasuke left.


One month later

A month had passed since the players found out they were stuck in the death game. Over two thousand people already lost their lives and the first floor has yet to be cleared.

A meeting was to be held to figure out a way to defeat and find the boss.

I can't believe I can't find the boss. Sasuke sighed inwardly as he sat down.

"The boss' hideout has been located, however, in order to defeat the boss you need to party up with at least six members." Sasuke looked around; everyone had partied up beside him that is. Great, there's no one I can party up with...wait, it looks like someone is alone like me. He promptly stood up and headed over to the white hooded figure.

"We should party up, since it's required to." Sasuke stated coolly. I feel so awkward...This is awkward.

"Okay..." The hooded girl replied faintly. Sasuke nodded and sent a party invitation to her which she accepted. He took a look at her HP gauge and saw her name was Hinata.

"This is not fair! The beta testers left us beginners to die and refused to help us starters. If there are any beta testers in this meeting it will only be fair if you give up all your items and money, otherwise you won't be trusted by others again." A guy dressed in black with purple...makeup on yelled.

Sasuke clenched his fist and narrowed his eyes.

A guy wearing a black mask with white hair rapidly stood up. "No, that is not true. The beta testers cannot be blamed for the tragedies of the fallen players. The betas did their share by distributing their knowledge through this manual that everyone has access to. How do you find that unfair? They have done their share and helped us, they didn't need to but they did." The masked man calmly explained.

The purple guy with makeup frowned and took out the book, "The book states that the boss' name is IIIfang the Kobold Lord, he also has minions by the name of Ruin Kobold Sentinels. On the last bar of HP, the boss will discard his weapon and equip a Talwar and use a different combat style." Sasuke inwardly sighed, stood up and left as the rest of the players present did.


Hinata sat down and took out a piece of bread from her basket. I wonder how the others at home are doing. I'm so scared but I've got to grow stronger and beat this game. I cannot be a weakling here. The lavender eyed girl sighed and took a bite of her bread.

Sasuke who was passing by sat himself down next to Hinata. Hinata's eyes widened from under her white hood as she hastily moved away from him. He only shook his head.

"Um...Do you want some?" Hinata asked in a soft whisper offering him some bread. Sasuke being hungry nodded and took the bread. Before he could take a bite of his bread Hinata quickly prevented him from doing so.

"No!" Sasuke looked at Hinata questionably. Hinata bit her lip under her white cloak and looked away.

"You haven't said Itadakimasu." She said barely above a whisper; however Sasuke caught it and laughed. The indigo haired girl simply blushed under her cloak which she was thankful for at the moment.

"D-don't laugh!" Hinata whisper yelled a frown marring her face. Sasuke stopped laughing, said itadakimasu and bit down into the bread, savouring the taste. He had to admit it was delicious and not only because he was starving.

"Did you make this?" Hinata hesitantly nodded. A barely present smile formed on his face.

"It's good"


Hinata and Sasuke were walking towards the boss' location, (The others ahead of them.) Sasuke was formulating plans to defeat the boss' helpers and discussing them with Hinata. The group entered the first floor boss room where IIIfang the Bobold Lord was expected to be along with his minions.

The group set out into an immediate fight. The purple make up guy, who Sasuke found out that his name's Konkurou led the prowling party and gave out orders on attacking and blocking the boss and his helpers.

Her speed is remarkable, at this rate I won't be able to keep up with her blade. Sasuke thought as he watched Hinata fight.

The Boss's HP gauge soon reached the red zone, then this guy ordered everybody to stay put and he stepped out of the group and approached the boss by himself.

Something isn't right, the boss supposed to pull out a Talwar not a Nodachi.

"No Stop! Pull back!" Sasuke quickly shouted. No...I'm too late! Sasuke watched as the guy received a deadly combo from the boss' katana.

As the guys HP rapidly dropped to 0, Sasuke quickly made his way to him and hastily took out a healing potion. The guy shook his head, rejecting it.

"You are a beta tester too...Aren't you?" Sasuke asked him. The guy simply nodded.

"I know you are one to...You can defeat the boss, you have the power...Use it." With that, the guy shattered into many crystals.

Sasuke nodded and stood up, he made up his mind, and with Hinata's help he would defeat the boss.

"Come on Hinata, we are going to defeat this thing." Hinata nodded at Sasuke preparing to fight; she quickly sped and swiftly slashed her sword at the boss, but the boss proved to be fast and attacked Hinata first. Hinata did a quick back flip to dodge which made her white hood fall off revealing her face.

Sasuke and Hinata continued with their strategy however, Sasuke made a slip-up and in result got hit by the boss making him fly backwards and slam into Hinata causing her to fly back as well. This isn't going well; I need to end this soon! Sasuke grunted.

I need to do something. They can't afford to get hit again. The guy with the black mask thought as he quickly ran in front of the pair. "We'll buy some time in the mean time you two recover." Kakashi, who Sasuke discovered his name was said.

The group charged at the boss in an attempt to hold it off for Sasuke and Hinata. After a few minutes the pair got up, nodded at each other and charged at the boss. Sasuke and Hinata gave the boss multiple hits with Sasuke giving the last blow which destroyed the boss.

Sasuke knelt down and took a deep breath after defeating the boss. A bonus item then appeared in front of him called the Coat of Midnight. Hinata had a smile on her face, she and her partner managed to defeat the boss, she was very happy, he was really strong.

Cheers of joy could be heard as everyone had smiles on their face's celebrating their victory. Konkurou however had an unpleasant expression on his face.

"Aren't you forgetting that he let our leader die? He knew the boss' attack pattern yet he let him die! He is a beta tester!" Konkurou yelled outraged, pointing an accusing finger at Sasuke.

Sasuke remembering the guys last words creased his forehead. Kakashi and Hinata were about to speak, however Sasuke's laughter prevented them from doing so.

"Do not compare me to those newbie's. Most of those beta testers didn't even know how to level up, you are even better than them. I'm on a whole new level however. I'm not like the other beta testers, I reached higher floors than them and I knew the boss's attack pattern because I fought monsters using katana skills on higher floors, I know much more than any information breaker."

"You...You are a cheater!" Konkurou said anger clear in his voice.

"Yes! He's a cheater."

"A beta cheater, a beater!"

"Yes he's a beater!'

"Beater!"

Sasuke laughed once again, "That's right, I'm a beater." He stated as he equipped the Coat of Midnight. He started walking away and began to open the gate to the next floor.

"Wait!" Hinata said hastily running towards him. "How do you know my name?" She asked curiously since she never told him her name and yet he knew it.

"Look at your interface for the party screen." Hinata nodded and checked.

"Sasuke...Your name is Sasuke." She smiled and tilted her head. I feel stupid...it was there all this time!

"Hinata, you are strong so I suggest you join a guild you can trust. There are limits to what a solo player can do. If a guild requests you to join them, join it." Sasuke stated tranquilly, then began to dissolve the party and headed to the second floor.

"I will...Goodbye...Sasuke."


Well how was it? ^^

Um... as for the game master ...Who do you guys have in mind? Please tell me in a review and I will consider it. I can't think of anyone beside Madara and Nagato, who do you think should play Akihiko Kayaba?

Another thing, I've gotten reviews saying Hinata would be a better Sachi...Um I'm thinking of not including someone as Sachi in this fic altogether actually. From the beginning I've already planned for Hinata to be Asuna. Furthermore, there will be no one playing as Sachi...I'm thinking of discarding that part of the Anime altogether. I DID say that this will follow the SAO plot BUT with MY twists and stuff as well.

Okay readers! Now this is up to you, who should Sakura, Ino and TenTen play? Oh and Temari too! Tell me in a review please! Thank you! See you next chapter! ^^
