Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Log Horizon. This is a fanfiction used to help with my writing skills and the fact I enjoy writing stories like these. All I own is the ideas and sub-plots used to make this fanfiction and explore Log Horizon and Naruto in a different way. Also, don't own any of the games and anime I make reference to in this story, but still got to give homage to video games since this is technically a video game fanfiction as well.
"Hey, are you alright?" Touya looked at Shouryu who had his hand on Hinata's shoulder. The older player was helping the boy stand up.
"I-I'm f-fine... I-I think... My h-hip g-gave way." Hinata stuttered, tears going down his face. Pure joy was on his face, giving Touya a warm feeling throughout his body.
We really pulled it off. None of them are coming out of their guild hall. Touya thought, looking over to his sister. She was still crying, a smile on her face. "It's alright, Minori. Let's get out of here. You got to taste Nyanta-sensei's cooking."
"I know, but... I can't believe it," Touya raised an eyebrow at his sister. "I-I thought things would n-never change... But S-Shiroe-nii managed to change it." Minori sobbed, a large smile on her face.
"Yeah. Shiroe-nii is really cool." Touya said, seeing Sasuke walking up. "How things are going?"
"Minori and the others are the only ones left with needing to change their guilds." Sasuke said, smiling at Minori and Touya. "I rather do it sooner than later in case Naruto-nii and Shiroe decides to see if they can blacklist whole guilds outside individual members."
"Wait, did you just call Naruto your brother?" Kiba asked in shock. "What the hell did he do to get Mr. Ice here saying that?"
"It's complicated. However, part of it is due to I am now related to him through marriage through my sibling." Sasuke said, before recoiling as Sakura and Ino ran up to him.
"Tell us! Minori mentioned it, but who is this person Naruto is married to?" Ino said, her eyes lighting up.
"Yeah! Naruto's always kept asking me on dates, yet when we end up in this world he got himself married?" Sakura asked, pouting in annoyance. "He has quite some nerve! Such a womanizer!"
"I think womanizer is not the right word for someone like Naruto," Sasuke sighed, slightly pale, "He was using the game's couple system for bonuses between his main character and secondary spell caster he played at the same time with and now dealing with the affects the game effects on this world. Hopefully things will calm down so we can rest. Though, considering Itachi-nee and Naruto-nii's bickering over how to handle the divorce, might not get it."
"Ah, so they are divorcing?" Touya asked, frowning, They always seemed like a good couple. A lot like my mom and dad, in fact.
"Not fully sure since they can't agree on how they will work out details. Personally, I rather Naruto-nii as I know he won't do anything bad to my sister, especially after all she has been through. " Sasuke smirked at Touya, "It's my turn as a brother to protect the family I have and I have a long road to become strong enough to do so."
"Yeah!" Touya grinned, doing a thumbs up to Sasuke. I have to do the same. Minori always helped me back in the old world. Now it is my turn to protect my sister. "Let's go home."
"Agr-Shit! Watch out!" Sasuke shouted as Touya heard a door slam opened. Touya turned around, seeing the Hamelin's summoner, Schrieder running at them. Touya pushed Minori out of the way before he was grabbed by the arm and slammed into the wall.
"What have you done, boy!" Schreider shouted, pulling hard onto Touya's arm. "What did you do to the Guild Hall?"
"Dammit! Shiroe-nii didn't blacklist you?" Touya grunted, glaring at the man holding him.
"What do you mean, you damn cocky brat!" Schreider roared, putting more pressure onto Touya's shoulder.
"Touya!" Minori shouted as Touya let out a shout.
Dammit! He's popping my shoulder out of place! Touya thought, trying to figure out a way to escape the man's grip. This doesn't count for combat either, so there's no way Shiroe-nii can help me out now!
"Let him go!" Shouryuu shouted, unsheathing his swords.
"Stop! If you attack, you'll be teleported out of the building!" Isuzu stopped Shouryuu.
"Heh. You're not going anywhere boy." Schreider chuckled, "We both have nowhere to go. However, it seems you know who the hell has made it so my guild can't get out of our guild hall and I will be using you to get back at them!"
"Too bad for you Naruto-sensei will most likely take you out before you can get to Shiroe-nii." Touya grunted before gasping when he fell to the floor. "Huh?" Touya turned around and instantly grinned. "Akatsuki-sensei!" Touya chimed, seeing Akatsuki now standing between Schreider and him.
"Who are you?" Schreider asked, glaring at the small female Assassin.
"I was sure I added every member of Hamelin to the blacklist." Akatsuki sighed, standing up and looking the man in the eyes.
"Blacklist? Wait, you mean you banned Hamelin?" Schreider asked, glaring at the Assassin. "How the fucking hell did you do that?"
"I just provided my Lord with the names he needed to add to the list." Akatsuki sighed, "However, it is your decision. You can freely use the desk to leave Hamelin now, attack anyone here and I send you to the Cathedral, or you can stay in Hamelin and be blacklisted like your comrades. Once your name is blacklisted, you will not be able to enter the Guild Hall Building again, so I will be giving you this one chance due to missing you."
"You little bitch!" Touya gasped as Schreider lifted her up by the collar. "I'm going to make you pay for-"
"Sadly, it seems you have chosen the fourth option." Touya's eyes widen in shock when a magic circle appeared under Schreider, forcing him to drop Akatsuki. "It seems my brother is not the only one to have gained a 'Raid Boss' mode as he calls it." Touya looked at Sasuke as he held his sword at Schreider's neck. However, instead of the pre-teen kid Touya knew, a full grown man was standing there. He clothes had shifted to match his now older form.
No way! Touya thought, seeing Sasuke's status bar. "You're level 100!" Touya shouted, seeing Sasuke's massive HP and MP along with his subclass showing as "The Otherworldly Sage of the Noosphere."
"100?" Schrieder asked, shocked with looking at Sasuke. "Wait! You are an Admin this whole time!"
"No. This is how the world has stopped the ongoing war between my brother and I has been in for 1000 years." Sasuke said, narrowing his eyes at Schrieder. "My level in this mode represents the Ten-Tails that the old Shinju turned into from what my brother told me. However, if an Admin is the same as a Game Master, than that is what the Otsutsuki clan has been forced to become to make up for our sins."
"What the hell are you babbling on about?... Wait... Why can't I move!" Schreider shouted, panic filling his voice.
"I don't think banishment will teach someone like you the lesson you deserve." Sasuke said with a smirk. "Hence, enjoy leveling back up to level 46."
"What?" Touya asked before everyone was blinded by a bright light. "Huh?" Touya blinked, looking back at Schreider.
"What the hell did you do to me!" Schreider screamed, his voice that of a young boy that matched his now young boy body. His clothes hanging off his body. "You really set my level back to 1!" Schreider screamed in horror.
"More than that. You kept your experience. That means you will have to earn the amount it would to reach level 47 to reach level 2 in your current state." Sasuke sighed, putting his sword onto his shoulder. "You might want to stock up your EXP Pots instead of selling them as you will need them."
"Sasuke... How did you do that?" Kiba asked, even his voice wavering in shock.
"You damn bastard! Fix my level! Also, why the hell are you playing around when you could be getting us out of this world!" Schreider screamed, making everyone's eyes widen.
Sasuke was an Admin? Ah, that's right, so was Naruto-sensei... Could they have really fixed all this? Touya thought, a pit forming in his stomach.
"I am not a god, even though my past reincarnations pitifully thought of themselves." Sasuke said, a bitter tone coming from voice. "Also, this world is not a game. The game itself was just a portal connecting this world to Earth. Something Log Horizon has confirmed through both my world slowly becoming part of this one and other important things. It is time others come to realize this as well. Including yourself. Hence as part of the Otsutsuki's Sages, I reset your level so that you might realize this is not the Elder Tales you knew. Though, we cannot be called Admins or GMs like the game as now instead we simply control various things like levels and such to a certain extent since our main job seems to be now the what will be connecting the cities together later." Sasuke sighed while sheathing his sword. "I've also removed you from Hamelin since it would be too cruel to restrict a level 1 person from the Guild Hall Building, so be grateful I am just taking away your levels, not possibly your means of survival."
"Sasuke that was-Eh?" Ino gasped as Sasuke was engulfed by a puff of smoke and returned to his normal size and fell backwards. "Sasuke-kun!"
"You're level returned to normal." Touya said, staring blankly at the trembling Sasuke.
"Yeah... My punishment it seems is I have to level up to match my Raid Boss mode before I can use my powers freely... Till then, using it is exhausting." Sasuke groaned, clearly in discomfort.
"Bastard! I am going to-"
"Zone edvict." Sasuke sighed, another circle appearing under Schrieder before the man turned boy disappeared. "I don't think I will be able to move for the next day or two... So, can someone lend me a hand?"
"Sure!" Touya shouted, running over to Sasuke and picking him up from under the shoulder. "But, how do you have Naruto-nii's subclass back there? And you can control people's levels?"
"I am Naruto-nii's apprentice, of course," Sasuke sighed, "Though, I can't simply do as I please as you can see. I have rules I got to follow, but if they line up like they did there, I can change a person's level or such. But, only as punishment and such, can't up a person's level and not without backlash. Probably won't be that way once I hit the level cap in my normal form. Itachi-nee also can do it as well as Kakashi and Obito, though there's is more limited compared to Naruto-nii and me. Mainly since we were put as the main three for dealing with such issues."
"Main three?" Minori asked, "But, you only mentioned Naruto-san. Who else has such powers?" Minori asked while Touya looked at Sasuke.
And why do you two have such powers? Naruto-sensei gives me bad guy vibes full out. Touya thought before hearing Akatsuki cough and looked to her.
"That's not important at this moment. I believe it would be wise to get you all a hot meal and a warm bath after all you been through. I shall escort you all to the desk with failing to miss that one person."
"That sounds awesome!" Sakura chimed, tears of joy coming down his face. "Also some shampoo and conditioner would be paradise. My hair is screaming for pampering." Everyone began to laugh, big grins on their faces.
Ah, that's right. Hamelin is no more. We should be focusing on celebrating! Touya then smirked, "Alright! Let's see if we can have Nyanta-sensei make cake and sweets to celebrate!" Touya shouted, everyone cheering in agreement with not having anything sweet in a long time.
Endnote-A little note, but kind of need to let you all know I am taking a small hiatus. I am not feeling too good, so I am taking a week or two to rest and recover in hopes of keeping it from becoming something worse. So, if you don't see a chapter in the next week or so, don't worry. Though, I might not be also replying to reviews right away due to the hiatus as part of why is I am avoiding my computer to rest up in my free time outside work. I will be trying to at least post chapters for Alien Chronicles as this volume is almost done, but not making guarantees.
