Kingdark: Welcome to the third chapter of Naruto, Demi-God.
Chapter 03
TUTORIAL SEQUENCE INITIATED
This tutorial will tell you a little bit about contracts and how they can be useful to you.
Offer immortality with a contract, gain a soul in power in return…
As a Demi-god, you can offer contract to people, offering them something they desire. In return if and when they die, you will gain authority over their very soul. When a contract is being made, it will set the conditions as it is being discussed and there will be rarely any loopholes unless you (the Demi-god) can trick the Mortal to agree with them. The contract can edit itself as needed so it will always reflect the conditions that were agreed upon. There are two steps in making the contract binding and permanent.
The first step is that you as the Demi-God must complete your side of the bargain. Then, the mortal must accept, use or activate whatever boon you have given him. If the mortal refuses, the contract defaults to your advantage, the item is taken away and you will gain authority over them in their life. If both sides have completed their sides of the bargain, then upon the death of the Mortal, you will gain immediate authority over their soul. It doesn't matter if the Mortal comes back to life in a form of immortality, the moment they die, you will own them.
You can absorb the mortal's soul to increase your own power, you can forge it into being your servant for eternity, you can forge the mortal's soul into a weapon or you can have it be reincarnated into whatever form you wish. You will not lose ownership of them as long as they retain their memories at some point in their life. For example, you as a Demi-god can create an identical copy of yourself that you will possess if your current body is destroyed. You can do this with some effort but nothing unusual to speak off.
For a mortal to do this on the other hand, it requires a significant amount of effort. The first step is that they will require fresh semen of themselves as well as freshly drawn blood. The second step is that they are required to channel chakra into the mixture for nine months which represents the time a baby needs to be born. The third and last step requires them to put in one hour for every year they wish to age their clone. If they are distracted at any point, the technique will complete and if they are unlucky enough, they will end up with a baby version of themselves, which will have some embarrassing consequences of its own….
The moment that the mortal dies and occupies a new body, the contract will be completed and you will own the mortal period. In the end, you will always come out the better because the moment they sign and the moment you fulfill your end of the bargain, their soul is yours.
That concludes the end of your second tutorial!
Evaluation time!
Day of evaluation, 5.00 in the morning, Naruto's apartment / bedroom.
Naruto woke up and he frowned. "Okay, once is pure chance, a second time is coincidence and you don't want to wait for it to happen a third time…" Naruto muttered. He didn't believe in coincidences, so it was best to nip this in the bud and figure out what that weird dream was supposed to mean.
"Kuro-chan." Naruto stated. A glance at the clock informed him that he had still plenty of time but he couldn't be idle for too long. Kuro appeared from where he had been napping.
"What is it Naruto?"
"I had a weird dream last night and another just now." Naruto followed that up by summarizing what the dream was about this time and what he had dreamt about before.
"…That's creepily accurate." Kurama remarked. Having woken up half way through Naruto's explanation.
"You mean it IS accurate?" Naruto asked. Another look at the clock told him that he was cutting it close. 5.15.
"Go and take a shower and get something to eat." Kuro instructed. "I'll discuss it with Kurama and we'll brief you when you're done washing and eating.
"Okay." Naruto agreed easily.
While Naruto was showering, he considered the dream he just had. The implications that it had were enormous. If people knew he could offer them a form of immortality and he kept the technical loophole after a single death to himself… He shuddered. It occurred to him suddenly that he could use his healing hands to revert someone to a younger age as well. "Well, no, not reverting really but more… Healing whatever damage that aging has done to them. The fact it will make them appear younger is just a bonus. Also… Oji-sama has been complaining occasionally about his age, so if I can help him that way…" That would be good. Naruto knew. But it could also be troublesome. Because if that became public knowledge…
"People have gone to war for less!" Naruto knew.
"So maybe… Maybe I should do it with a contract anyway and specify his absolute silence on the matter? I don't want to own his soul." On the other hand, Naruto would live for a very long time and he really didn't want to see people he cared about dying and be beyond his reach.
"Well, I may as well just see if I have another dream similar to the two before and go from there. Maybe I can interact with it and get it to show a tutorial I have need for… Although I don't think I can, but I will try anyway just to be sure." Shrugging, Naruto finished his shower, dried off and hurried to get a quick bite to eat.
5.30
Cursing, Naruto hurried to his kitchen to get a bite to eat and to get ready. Even though he still had thirty minutes, he still needed a few minutes to get to the training ground.
"So what do you think?" Naruto asked. Another look at the clock told him it was 5.40 so he still had ten minutes before he HAD to go.
"The stuff you told us is accurate." Kuro told him.
"It's possible that it is a safety measure to randomly tell you things. Maybe to see if we would claim something different." Kurama added.
"Not that we would of course." Kuro added immediately.
"So I can essentially do something that people refer to as the devil? Sell your soul for a deal to the devil? That's something I don't want connected with me." Naruto said with a frown.
"If you are fair in your dealings, it shouldn't matter." Kuro replied.
"Besides, if people want something badly enough they won't care what they have to pay in order to get it.
5.35
Naruto frowned in response but he knew he couldn't hesitate for too much longer. "You know what? I'll deal with this after I get back." Naruto decided. Kuro and Kurama then jumped on his shoulder and Naruto exited his apartment after locking his door and activating the many security seals he had placed on the door. Before Naruto left his floor, he did one last equipment check to see if he had everything he could possibly need on hand and then he hurried out of the building towards the training ground.
5.45
Naruto arrived with roughly fifteen minutes to spare. He noticed that both his team mates were already waiting.
"You're on time." Sasuke remarked. He sounded vaguely surprised.
"…I had a weird dream so just leave it at that." Naruto answered shortly.
"What sort of weird dream?" Sakura asked. "Lots of nude that had you waking up with a wet spot in your trousers or different weird?"
"A different kind of weird." Naruto answered before he could help himself. Then he flushed. "I don't want to talk about it. Not about that anyway. Just let it go."
Sakura opened her mouth to reply but Naruto held up his hand to keep her quiet. "Besides, we have a spar with a jounin to prepare for."
"Right." Sakura agreed. Although it was clear she wasn't happy to let such an excellent opportunity for teasing go.
If there was one thing that Naruto had learned about girls if they were unhappy with you then it would be that you had to bribe them. In Sakura's case he happened to know that she loved explosions. The louder and more powerful, the better.
"I do have a bundle of custom made explosion tags I crafted last night. They aren't powerful enough to hurt anybody but that's the point. Worst case scenario you'll end up looking like you were sunbathing in the desert. It'll be painful but it won't kill you." Naruto said calmly. The tags were tied up and he held them up in his right hand.
"You're forgiven!" Sakura said happily as she attempted but failed to snatch the bundle of tags from hm.
"ah, ah!" Naruto said, keeping the tags away from here. "Are you going to drop it?"
"Yes! Fine. Forgotten, just give them to me!" Sakura said quickly.
Naruto lowered his hands and Sakura immediately accepted the bundle of tags and put them in her equipment pouch.
"Sakura!" Naruto said, getting her attention. "Those seals should be safe, but safety protocol should still be followed. If you got any other kind of seals in your equipment pouch, make sure they don't touch." Naruto told her.
"They shouldn't do anything, but shouldn't is the keyword here. Seal interactions are weird and unpredictable." Naruto informed her.
"What could interact if they do interact?" Sasuke asked curiously.
"That depends on the kind of tags she has in her pouch." Naruto answered with a shrug.
"But knowing her like I do, it's safe to assume it would be grade D explosion tags since those are the only ones that academy students can purchase. Grade D explosion tags are very solid. Like really, seriously solid. They have been improved, redesigned with countless of safety measures on it so it could only be activated on purpose. And if they explode in your equipment pouch…" Naruto paused. "Well, you'll be in a lot of pain but after a couple of months of recovery you should be fine. I think."
"Yes, I knew that already." Sasuke replied impatiently.
"I was getting there." Naruto snapped back.
"Now, if you don't mind? Let me finish and you'll have your answer. Like I was saying, MY tags are not solid so it's more likely that it will be them, so the end result…" Naruto paused and really considered it.
"You'd end up like a tomato. It would hurt like a bitch and would likely take a few weeks to recover from. But it shouldn't do any permeant damage unless you're stupid enough to keep it near you're eyes in which case you'll end up blinded permanently."
"Blinded?" Sasuke asked.
"Only if they activate on your person and really close to your face." Naruto repeated.
"But aren't they supposed to be thrown at a target, i.e. really close at their face." Sasuke pointed out.
"You're missing the point." Naruto replied impatiently. "You asked me what would happen if they interacted with another seal. If you throw one of my tags at someone, it should just be a really bright flash followed by a loud bang. It should cause temporarily blindness and perhaps a feeling of disorientation at worst." Naruto explained. Any further conversation was cut off because that's when Kakashi arrived.
"Greetings my dearest students." The man said cheerfully.
"Because you've impressed me by a lot yesterday, I'm skipping the usual test I've given my previous genin students and I'm going straight for a serious test." Kakashi informed them.
"This particular test hasn't been used very often. In fact, it has only been used a total of three times in the past. The test itself will be in the form of a real life scenario under controlled conditions with a few possible complications." A pause.
"The scenario itself will happen in training ground forty four. In this fictional scenario, you will have infiltrated enemy territory and they will have gotten your trail. You've sabotaged something assassinated someone, whatever. The bottom line is that you pissed them off and they will throw a lot of resources at you to track you down for capture or execution. Naturally, you wouldn't be executed but will get a painful beating instead." The three genin exchanged uneasy looks. A beating was better than being killed but they would prefer not being beaten at all!
"For whatever reason, you will lose contact with your jounin sensei, that's me obviously, because he has left to distract the enemy in order to give you an advantage in some way. The jounin-sensei, that is to say myself will try to meet up with you at random times when the timing fits. My last orders to you would be to find yourself a place to fortify and to hold out for as long as it takes. The exercise will end when reinforcements arrive. They will then evacuate you from the training ground. At this point the exercise will have ended. With me so far? Good." Kakashi said with a nod.
"During the time you are stuck in the training ground, the enemy will be sending enemies after you. At first they will be at a level where you should be able to defeat them with your hands tied behind your back. Then they will be a bit harder and harder still until the enemy is sending real jounin after you."
"…Are you fucking serious?" Naruto asked incredulously. "We can't fight multiple jounin."
"You shouldn't be fighting them." Kakashi answered. "The goal of the exercise is to survive. If you manage to hurt them, even a little that would be extremely impressive. Lure them in traps, disable them, do whatever it takes. But you shouldn't take them on in straight head to head combat. That would be foolish to the extreme. The training ground is large enough that if you prepare multiple hide-outs that you should be able to avoid enemy forces for a long time. Now… If I may continue?" Kakashi asked pleasantly. Seeing no response he took that as confirmation.
"During the time that the scenario is active, you will be given additional missions through carrier bird that you have to attempt to complete. Not only that but to increase the likelihood from straight out impossible to very unlikely, you can 'hire' homeless nin in the form of your classmates. But you should be cautious because they could be spies that were hired by the enemy instead." Kakashi explained.
"Now, let me make a few things absolutely clear. Every enemy you will face will be a realistic puppet. Everyone except for your classmates. If you fight them, do not use lethal force and if they are seriously injured, you will have to send a flare up in the sky which will end the scenario immediately if you can't deal with their injuries." A pause.
"The beating will come after you or they have recovered sufficiently enough that you wouldn't be killed."
A long pause.
"That means you will end up killing highly realistic soldiers. If you don't feel ready for this yet, tell me now."
"I'm good." Naruto said.
"Seconded." Sasuke agreed.
"What my boyfriend said." Sakura confirmed.
"Alright." Kakashi said with a nod. "Let me recap and fill you in on the details. Team seven, that's the four of us were operating in enemy territory. What we were doing is irrelevant, the point is that we were caught in some way and we retreated back into the territory that we prepared if we had to retreat. I will help you with the preparation of a base or two and then I will leave to 'distract the enemy…' Which I will really do, but you can't count on me to actually help you directly." Kakashi explained.
"After this briefing is over, I'm giving you exactly one hour to gather what supplies you think you'll need and then we'll move to training ground forty four. The exercise will start exactly tomorrow at six am. So that's a little less than twenty three hours which is not as much as you would think to setup several bases with emergency exits. You are to hold out as long as possible until reinforcements arrive in the form of a Konoha invasion force. This invasion force will be in the form of Kage bunshin that various jounin will have created in order to get enough numbers to make it an actual army. The projected time is that you'll need to hold out for a single week but it's possible that it'll take longer… Or shorter."
"Couldn't we just try to exfiltrate the area on our own?" Sakura asked logically.
Kakashi shook his head. "The training ground borders will be surrounded by enemy forces. If you can actually push passed them then that would be very impressive but any missions that you would have been given would fail by default. Only do it if you feel you can't hold out any longer."
"What about surrendering?" Naruto asked shrewdly. "I mean, if this enemy force captures us, they can force Konoha into some pretty nasty deals. So killing us wouldn't be realistic."
"Konoha could deny any knowledge of you and could offer to kill you themselves as proof." Kakashi replied emotionlessly.
"…They would really do that if this were a real scenario?" Sakura asked worriedly.
Kakashi paused and he sighed deeply. "Only if you messed up badly enough. If admitting to you would hurt Konoha enough then… Yhea. They would sacrifice you in order to preserve Konoha itself."
"That's…" Sakura said awkwardly… Her teammates ignored Sakura's discomfort to cover their own.
"Now, as I said before, your old classmates will wander into the forest and will pretend to be homeless nin. You can hire their services by offering them money, a home or just blackmail them if you get the leverage. Your classmates will be told off the scenario and there will be no hard feelings, no matter what happens. That being said, don't use deliberate lethal force on your old classmates. Break a few arms or legs if you have to, but don't kill them. As we speak, Konoha Engineers are placing specialized camera's as well as doing a maintenance on the p.a.s (public announcement system) to monitor the scenario. This is because the scenario can be ended at any time if someone gains a dangerous injury. Follow me so far? Good." Kakashi said with a nod.
"Like I said previously, you will be receiving missions through a carrier bird but it will be up to you to decide if the mission will be worth the risks. Since the training ground is surrounded, the missions should be restricted within the training ground."
"Should?" Naruto asked with a frown.
"Should." Kakashi repeated. "You could gain a mission that would result in them sending everything they have after you. At this point it would be better to throw everything you got at them to break through the siege. That, or figure out a different way to get passed them… Or you could decide to call an end to the scenario."
"How?" Sasuke asked sharply.
"Two ways." Kakashi answered. "Well, no three actually. The first is to let yourself get captured but unless you have good reason, you know the price for doing that. The second is by sending out flares in the sky. The third is by going to the tower in the middle of the forest and finally the fourth, yes I forgot the fourth there are FOUR ways of ending the scenario. The fourth way is to break through and go to the Hokage tower. All three of you." Kakashi explained.
"Is everything clear so far?" Kakashi asked.
"Good." Kakashi said again, seeing that no questions were coming. "I have here, a letter of the Hokage that confirms that this scenario is genuine as well as a few passphrases you can use to end the scenario immediately. Using these passphrases will halt the puppets immediately. Don't use them as an distraction and only in an emergency or if you think you have genuine reason." Kakashi warned them. Then the man smacked his fist on his hand in a way that clearly said he had just remembered something.
"…Before I forget, since you can only take so much supplies with you and since supplies could be lost if a base is destroyed, there will be supply drops once a day at a random time. This drop will be followed by a blue flare in the sky and after that you'll have thirty minutes to retrieve them. Don't count on getting every supply drop though because the training ground is very large and going from the bottom to the top, takes at least forty minutes at top speed." Kakashi informed them.
"Any questions?" Kakashi asked.
"Yhea, I've got one." Naruto said thoughtfully. "Do we have any spies or operatives among the enemy forces? It would be realistic that we would have such a thing." Naruto said slowly.
"Huh." Kakashi remarked. "You know, I don't actually know. But I will find you during the exercise to inform you. I don't think I need to say this, but I think it's obvious to say that this is a very serious and dangerous exercise. Naruto. Sakura. Sasuke." Kakashi said. Looking at each genin as he said their name.
"The seriousness of the scenario aside, you can take comfort in the fact that Konoha will have eyes on you at all times if the camera system works as advertised." Kakashi told them.
"Any additional questions?"
"I've got one." Sakura said quietly. "Why… Why are we given such a dangerous exercise? I mean.. I haven't heard anything like this happen before…"
"She has a point." Naruto admitted.
"What blondie said." Sasuke agreed.
"Because of that!" Kakashi answered. "The three of you put your personal differences aside effortlessly even though you don't really like each other."
"What gave you that idea? Naruto asked confused.
"Sakura is my b-" Sasuke said before interrupting himself and starting again. "Sakura is my one and only. I didn't really care one way or another about Naruto, in the academy if I have to be honest. We just put up a mask in public. I recognized what Naruto was doing, so did Sakura and I'm guessing that Naruto…"
"Ehm.." Naruto said. "Of course I realized that Sasuke and Sakura were pretending like they did in class." He said unconvincingly. Sasuke, Sakura and Kakashi stared at him, entirely unimpressed.
"…But I still put my own opinions about them aside when I realized they were very different in person." Naruto continued, admitting to his obvious lie after a fashion.
"…I just returned the favor and we just… clicked." Naruto said with a shrug.
"My point stands." Kakashi repeated. "You put aside your differences, regardless of what you felt about each other. That much is true isn't it?"
"Yes." Naruto agreed slowly.
"Hn." Sasuke nodded.
"Tch." Sakura said.
"Right then…" Kakashi muttered. "If there are no further questions…? Okay, I will shoot a flare in the sky, which will alert the relevant people that our briefing is over. We will have exactly sixty minutes to get supplies before Konoha nin will block entrance to the market and shops. This is your last chance to ask any questions." Kakashi offered.
"Okay then." Kakashi slowly grabbed an item in his pouch and aimed it at the sky. "I will fire at mark."
"Wait!" Naruto said quickly. "what sort of supplies should we be taking? What will you be bringing? You can get your hands on higher level explosion tags or even chakra pills! What's our budget?"
Sasuke and Sakura looked at each other and facepalmed.
"Talk about forgetting to ask the obvious." Sasuke muttered.
Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto brought out what items they had with them and they made a list of what they should have at minimum. A few minutes later each had memorized what they should buy on their own budget to be fully supplies and what to buy with Konoha's budget. Kakashi worked with them and eventually they declared themselves ready.
"I will fire at mark." Kakashi repeated.
"Three… Two… One… MARK"
Kakashi pulled the trigger and several flares were launched into the sky. The genin of team seven were gone the moment that Kakashi had begun his countdown. "Cheaters…" Kakashi muttered fondly. Then he himself used a shunshin to get the relevant supplies himself.

"Report!"
"Sir. We have broken the last of the rebellious =redacted= and they have submitted to our command."
"Good. They obey every order including to kill?"
"Yes sir. We've been rewarding them with food and other things and we did so especially after they killed a ringleader of the rebellious =redacted="
"Good. Very good. What are our chances of taking control of the cowardly government?"
"Zero still sir. At this point we have a dozen or so that will obey every command given, even if it would result in their deaths. The cowardly government has hundreds. Even though our own are powerful, there is a quality to quantity after all."
"Not really what I wanted to hear, but I don't pay you to be a yes-man to me. How much longer until we stand even the slightest chance?"
"A year sir. At minimum. By that time we would have broken a hundred or so. Hopefully. The subjects you have given me are stubborn but your minions are very talented in finding the more… Powerful creatures. At this point I would ask you to give me three years."
"Good. The first step is to eradicate the cowardly government, second step is to rally the population to us and the third step is to break through the isolation barriers and bring the humans to heel! You are dismissed."
"As you wish."

Konoha, training ground forty four (44)
1800 hours.
Kakashi had given team seven enough money to equip themselves with high quality equipment. They had exchanged their clothes they had arrived with originally with armor that was technically restricted to Chūnin at minimum. But because the scenario would be classified as a class B mission, it was decided to sell team seven anything they wanted within reason.
All three were dressed in what they imagined AnBu would wear.
Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura wore identical armor. In fact, all their clothes were identical. The only way to tell them apart was their height and other body features they couldn't hide very easily.
Kakashi had given team seven detailed maps of the training ground since it had supposedly been scouted out by Konoha forces beforehand, should their mission get compromised and they had to fall back.
Team seven along with Kakashi managed to create several fake hide-outs that could be used in a pinch but were supposed to serve as traps. Thanks to Naruto's knowledge in Fūinjutsu it would make them hard to find, which would make it easier to believe that the hide-outs were real.
"I still can't believe that you managed to keep your talent for Fūinjutsu a secret." Sakura complained.
"I told you already, Sakura." Naruto answered impatiently. "Nobody ever asked me and the few times seals were discussed in class, my attempt to correct the teacher were ignored. It was the first and only time I ever attempted to show off my talents with seals."
"That still doesn't explain how you learned so much about it. Family secrets doesn't really help you, considering you're an orphan." Sakura pointed out.
"… Sakura, I would suggest you back off." Naruto said calmly. "My secrets are my own. We already have the bet going, but I'm beginning to think it was a bad idea."
"Why, because you're admitting I might guess the truth?"
"Because you are taking this too far!" Naruto snapped back.
"The terms of the bet state that I will be truthful. But here and now is not the time for it. Don't push me on this. Please." Naruto added.
It was at this point that Kakashi returned to their current campfire. "Settle down children, I've got more information. Apparently, the Hokage was impressed by something you did and he said that there will be a secret AnBu team operating in the forest. He also said that we can make use of their existence a total of three times. Well, you can make use of them. This can go from scouting out a location, to making a distraction to basically anything you could need in order to complete your mission." Kakashi informed them.
"That's…" Naruto muttered.
"Overkill?" Sasuke added suspiciously.
"Exactly what I wanted to say." Naruto agreed. WHY would the Hokage be even THINKING about sending out his personal army in a scenario like this?"
"They are on rest. Technically." Kakashi answered with a shrug. "I'm told that AnBu hate to be idle and when they heard about the exercise they offered their services because if this was real, then Konoha would have sent black ops in the location as well… Or so I'm told anyway."

Kingdark: My muse was dying towards the end, so I'm ending it at roughly five thousand words. Remember, I've been dropping hints at the game and the unknown fandom throughout the story. You know what the reward about getting both correct are.
Kingdark
Next chapter, Naruto will get inspiration of making a Hammerspace (mark I) through Fūinjutsu in the next chapter. He'll find that getting an idea is awesome and all that, but making it work is a whole different kettle of fish.
