Azure King: Hello all! This is another new story that I wanted to do, My Next Life as a Villainess, all routes lead to doom. its silly, its cute and funny…kinda like Helltaker, wink wink I have a fic for that too. so i decided to do one of this, don't worry Naruto isn't a girl. but he will have some fun with them ehehe. Anyway it took me two days and thanks to a friend and lots of caffeine this was done. Not bad if I'm being honest, but enjoy!

CHAPTER START!

A young boy groaned in pain as he lifted his body that was laying on the ground, moving his head to see grass on the ground… and some blood. Gingerly touching his face he felt six bad cuts in his cheeks… great he has more than… wait. The young man's eyes widened as he moved his head upwards, but the moment he bent his neck, his head was already throbbing, forcing him to lay it back down. If he was hurt this bad, then he must be involved in one hell of an accident.

Just like back in… school… wait!

The young man looked around erratically to see a field around them, and a giant mansion just a few yards away. It all came back to him… and boy was it a lot of information that was flooding in. "Lord Nathan! Lady Katarina!" Maids and butlers rushed to the young man who looked to the side to see a face-down girl.

And… Nathan? That wasn't his name… no wait… yes it was. But his real name was…

"Naruto…" he sighed before falling and losing consciousness.

Days went by, as the young man fell asleep but at least in the dawn of the morning, he opened his eyes. The young man struggled to move his body due to the time being unable to move, "Kuso…" he moaned out from the strain, using an unfamiliar word for the house to ever hear.

"Lord Nathan, you're awake!" One of the maids gasped, rushing over to his bedside. "Thank goodness you're alright." She sighed in relief.

"What… where am… I?" He said with tiredness in his raspy voice. He tried to sit up, but pain greeted itself once more. "Ergh…!"

"Please, Lord Nathan. Do not get up." The maid said worriedly, gently pressing him back down. "You and Lady Catarina still need rest."

"…What happened?" He asked the maid before him to help gently push him down on his bed, "Is everything ok?"

The maid seemed to be worried as she nodded, "Yes, Lady Katarina was playing with Prince Geordo, she got hurt and you tried to save her but the impact caused you to cut your beautiful face."

"Is… that so?" He muttered, before sighing. "I see… and I've been unconscious since…"

"Yes, we were worried as Katarina woke up first but was in a daze," the maid explained as she looked at Naruto's scars, "Unlike her, it's almost a miracle that these scars look more like animal whiskers than deformities…"

'Whiskers…' He thought to himself before another memory, or rather a whole lifetime's worth of memories came flooding back. 'That's right… I'm still me no matter how I look at it…' Perhaps the fact that those markings were back or the memory that returned, he smiled…

It was hard to believe but he wasn't this… Nathan that these beautiful maids were talking about. Well he is, but at the same time someone else entirely, he was in his third life after all.

"Do you need anything at this moment, Lord Nathan?" the maid asked.

"Mind getting me something sweet to eat, after that keep an eye on my sister." He ordered kindly as the maid bowed and left, making the young man sighed.

"My name is Naruto… Uzumaki Naruto…" he said aloud as if making sure himself that the whole flood of information wasn't wrong.

"Lived in Konohagakure, hated by the village at one point because of Kurama, fought in the Fourth Shinobi War, yep… it's all there. I'm still me." He spoke softly as something sad reminded him. "I died when the final battle with me and Sasuke got me killed."

"Then let's compare my second life…" he whispered but stopped when the door opened to show a lovely young woman walking to them. It was a woman or rather a young lady at least fifteen walking to him with a stoic look. Setting a plate of warm muffins.

"Lord Nathan, I brought you the sweets you requested. Joana left to attend to Katarina," She softly explain,

"Thank you, Anne. You can resume your original duties now, if I need you I will let you know." he nodded softly. Strange… How did he know the maid's name? This was the first time they met, oh right, it wasn't just the new memories that he has but his old ones, or is it more accurate to say current ones? She is one of the servants who recently joined the staff a year or two ago, on task… to be Katarina's maid. Right, she was also his maid but he didn't want to burden her with too many problems and gave her to his sister.

The woman took her master order as she bowed and left the room quietly for the sake of her young master. The second she closed the door the young man place his arms behind his head and lifted his left leg over his right.

"I somehow reborn into a kid's body, as an orphan yet again~!" He mockingly flicked off the ceiling as he had to live in loneliness again after gaining lots of friends and family that he had in his previous (First) life. Although it was a bit harder to get used to a peaceful world and time compared to his old one, attending school was hard due to his unique looks. The whisker marks, the blonde hair, and blue eyes made everyone around him afraid and judge him.

While no one outright attack him (save for really dumb bullies and delinquents), the only friends he had were with two girls that were always there for him. Right...he died right around the time they discovered a little secret to their favorite game…

"Damn…" he sighed, before chuckling at a memory of a show that kinda made sense now. "Why don't you come back from your second or third life? Then we'll compare notes? The church you get that pass on being a dick…" Naruto murmured as he spent the day remembering everything in his life as well as he can.

THE NEXT DAY

XXXXXXXXXXX

"Ok, this body is way weaker than the last two." He said waking up earlier than any of the servants as he walked around the backyard of his home. He had slept enough so waking up early and getting used to a new sleeping schedule would be best to start as soon as possible. "Well, nothing that a good bit of exercise and training can't fix…" He muttered to himself. "Though I'll have to make sure no one sees me…" He quickly ran full sprint from one end of the mansion to the other, ignoring his undeveloped muscles screaming in pain and chest on fire from the lack of preparation for the sudden workout. He repeated this process just when he saw the dark sky start to brighten, no doubts the maids were about to start cleaning.

"Damn, morning already?" He got out as he slowed himself down. Trying to control his coughing and the pain from his body from the spartan training he forced it to do. "Great… so much for my first day working out. I have to get back before-"

"Lord Nathan, where are you?!"

"Too late…" he deadpanned with a sweatdrop. What a way to start the day. He thankfully was able to hide his coughing at last when he saw his sister's maid walking towards him. "Good morning Anne." He smiled warmly at the woman who blushed at the kind look he gave her. "Sorry, I wanted to stroll around the house after I woke up. I figured it would be fine since it was just outside the house."

The maid seemed to be conflicted on the words her master said, true he was in the right and her station she couldn't even argue against it. But at the same time, he just recovered from his injuries so she was also in charge of making sure he didn't do it again, "I…" She started but stopped dead in her tracks.

"Hm? What's wrong, Anne?" Naruto or… rather Nathan, inquired as he tilted his head with that same kind smile.

"I- I Understand-" She stopped when she felt his hand touch her own, she saw a sad look at her lord's face. "Nathan?"

"You can speak your mind, Anne, please." He asked as the woman seemed shocked at the request. "If it helps I can make it into an order?"

Anne shook her head, the fact that the young lord had to make the request a second time would be a big disgrace to her job. "No, it's just… I worried you might have been hurt. And I cannot go against your words, I apologize if it-"

Naruto looked slightly embarrassed at the reminder as he scratched the back of his head, making her slightly agape at the sight of Nathan who's usually so composed and does something uncivilized. "Aw right, crap…" He whispered the last word as he needed to control his rough tone of words. "I appreciate your concern, Anne. I truly do, it's just I felt my body was not okay after sleeping for so long. I just wanted to make sure if I could at least walk normally." He lied as most of the truth was there but enough to keep his maid to accept it.

"I see." Anne nodded, though her lips were still pursed in concern. "But… if you wish to continue your… physical therapy, you should at least have someone accompany you to note your progress."

"Yeah…" Naruto laughed in a deadpan manner, wondering if the maid would die of shock watching a noble suddenly training like an olympian who was being chased by a demon. He was pretty sure that it would happen, "How about this? When you wake me up, I will do my exercise. Before you wake up my sister, check up on me and you can see me if I am okay. That way, you can still do your duties and I can move about." He suggested as the maid seemed to think on it before nodding.

"Very well, if that is what you wish, then I will abide." Anne bowed to him. "Now then… it's time for your morning bath and after that, your breakfast."

'Whew, close one.' Naruto mentally sighed in his head, it would have been a problem if he had to lie and train in secret. This way even if servants see him he can at least use a plausible lie to continue it. He couldn't help but smile at the victory… and then wrapped his arms around his maid! "Ehehe thanks Anne~!"

"Lord Nathan!" She blushed profusely at the sudden physical contact.

"H-Huh?" The young man snapped out of his thoughts.

"W-What are you d-doing?! E-Embracing me in such a manner?!" Anne stammered but didn't do anything to remove him. It wasn't because she liked it… not at all! It was because it was improper for a servant to touch their master in any way besides what they were told.

"What's wrong? Am I not allowed to hug you like this?"

"I-It's not that, i-it's-" Anne couldn't form any more words. The more she tried to explain herself, the redder her face turned. And… was steam coming out of her head?!

Naruto gave a small laugh before releasing her, sparing her from having a meltdown, "Sorry, I'm just happy you are so nice."

Anne took the time to compose herself and dust her apron off before adjusting her bonnet. She cleared her throat, "Y-Yes, well… be thankful that I am lenient. Now come, your morning bath is being prepared." She said, before turning around and quickly leaving with a brisk pace.

...Just one more~

"Wait to join me?" Naruto turns and winks at the woman who completely turns red, including her clothes before- *Thud* "Shit…" Nathan murmured at the little mistake he made, well he wanted a workout. Carrying a pretty lady would be a decent start to his old strength level.

"Ok being a rich kid does have some good stuff." He said enjoying the large bath they made for him. The blonde looked at himself in the mirror, he was eight if what he could tell seemed to be correct. He looked nearly the same as he usually did in his past life, although his blonde hair is a bit on the dark side, not as bright as he was used to but it wasn't anything too major.

He touched his face feeling the texture of his skin, which was surprisingly smoother and softer than his other two previous lives. He smirk when he felt his whisker marks, or scars, that he recently gained to make him look more like his old self. His bright blue eyes were also odd considering his last past lives it was a darker shade, but it was all for the best. Grabbing a small suit that the butlers and maids had after he asked them to not dress him up, he walked out of the bath where two maids bowed to greet him. "I'm done." He said as the women smiled at him.

"We are pleased, your father and mother wish to speak with you."

Naruto for a moment froze. "Mother… and Father…?" He got out.

He… had parents, the first life that he had his mother and father were long dead before he ever learned about them. In his second life he had no idea if his parents were alive or just ditched him, but now…

"Yes… is something wrong?"

The young man shook his head, focusing on his Shinobi training and calming his emotions down. Making sure to not put his hopes up as the last few lives fate screwed him over, these parents might be evil people using him as a political pawn… God, he loved Code Geass, if teachers had something like to teach kids how to be sneaky with words he would have been a goddamn genius!

"No, it's nothing," Naruto answered. "What do they want?"

The maids looked a bit sad at his words, "They wish to know if you were okay. Katarina is still going in and out of a daze when waking up, but you were asleep for so long. Isn't that the role of parents to make sure your life is fine?"

Naruto once again froze. This version of his parents. They were… worried about him? "Oh, right sorry… had a bit of an unsettling dream. I dreamt I was alone for…" He looked up with sad eyes, "For a long time…"

"Oh lord, Nathan…" The women whispered at his pain before they moved forward and were held in a caring embrace. "We're so glad you're okay now, you're not alone." They promised to ignore Naruto's eyes comically.

'Wait… what's going on?!' Naruto cried out in his thoughts. 'Why are they being so nice to me?! I feel like crying now!'

"Please follow us to your parents." They said taking his hands as they gently guided him like a kid- Crap he was a kid! No wonder his skin was so smooth and soft. He practically had the skin of a baby! He just literally saw his own body and completely forgot that he was young, no wonder Anne and the maids all see him as a kid. Nonetheless, they made him head towards the main hall where they moved the staircase where they reached two adults who were also moving towards them. "Lord Luigi and Lady Millidiana

Naruto looked at his mother with a soft blush on his face, she has hip-length brown hair except she has her hair strand hanging on the left side and light blue eyes. She has sharp slanted eyes, it gives her a stern yet sexy vibe… oh god his mother is hot. He turned to see his father, a tall man with dry blonde hair with blue eyes. 'Guess my darker shade comes from them.' He thought to himself with a soft smile. "Uh, greetings mother and father." The young man said before taking a knee, shocking everyone.

"Lord Nathan! You're not a commoner, you don't need to kneel to your parents." The maids whispered as Naruto's eyes shot wide open.

"Nathan, I was right!" His mother shouted rushing towards him, "You still need rest, you never did something like this before!" She cried holding him to a large bosom…which were soft…guess soft skin runs in the family…

"Mmmmmmm…" Naruto muffled out as his head was buried in her cleavage. 'This… can't be real… can it…?' Naruto thought to himself, but with slight reluctance, he pulled away. "Mother, sorry I… had an unsettling dream and believe…" he trailed off using anything that can sound good. "I had a nightmare that you hated me for harming my sister." He explained as the young step away from her, before bowing his head. "I didn't mean to offend you, I just felt scared." The young man explained/lied as well as he could to his parents. He felt a bit of pain for doing that to two people who seemed to be loving to him.

"Oh, nonsense. I could never hate you." His mother said before his father also walked to him and took a knee as he patted his head.

"My brave boy, never feel scared. We will always love you, please also understand your sister was only hurt lightly. All because you did your best to save her." He explained kindly to the young man, "Let us see your sister and help show the noble act you have done."

"I… saved her?" Naruto got out in confusion, before remembering the girl he saved. However, before he could respond they pulled him to where his sister was at. Opening the door they saw a girl who looked empty until the second Naruto stepped into the room… something turned on inside her head as the daze expression.

"Owwie…my head…" she suddenly complained as she whimpered from the

"Oh dear, she's still out of it…" The mother said worriedly.

However, Naruto's eyes widened as he saw the girl, "Is she-?"

Before anyone could say anything the girl looked at everyone that was starring at her, "Oh no, I'm sorry everyone!"

Naruto noticed Anne and the other maids and butlers looked positively shocked at the mere word of apology from her lips. "Katarina, my sweet doll are you ok?" Luigi asked as Naruto watched as the girl looked alarmed when the man rushed to her as did their mother.

"I'll excuse myself…" Naruto said as he slowly backed out comically as his parents soon went from overly worried parents to suddenly talk sweet compliments to each other. "Miss…I mean Anne?" Naruto requested his maid to follow behind him. "A word?"

When both reach the hallway, Naruto spoke, "Sorry to ask this, but it might be from my injuries, so don't tell my parents." He said with a serious look which the young lady looked alarmed.

"I-I beg your pardon?"

"My sister… you looked shocked as did the other staff, when she apologized… she never did that before, did she?" He said, covering his mouth with his hand in a thinking look. 'And if that's the case… then…'

"L-Lord Nathan, with all due respect, what is it exactly that you are implying?"

Naruto sighed as he didn't want to pull this card, but he didn't want to seem like a dick… wait… there was one anime move that always worked! He pushed her gently to the wall before slamming his arm to the wall next to her…locking his eyes above her despite the height difference the power inside his eyes made the maid's heart dance around!

"L-Lord Nathan?" Anne stuttered.

"Anne, you're the only one I can ask for this… please answer me… Anne…" he breathed out in a hushed tone from many anime males who did the legendary move known as… The Wall Slam!

The woman nodded before moving away from the boy, "Y-Yes, your sister was… Uhh spoiled is the only word I can safely say. Even if she made the mistake, Katarina would often say she had our jobs if we so much as tell her it was indeed her fault. She only pretended to be apologetic when her parents were around, and even then it was… clearly something that she did not mean."

Naruto hummed to himself at the correct assumption of the shock expressions, his sister might have hit her head so hard that it caused some kind of lapse in her memory or caused her personality to shift around. Wow, he might have gotten lucky to regain his memories when she got a new chance at being kind. Luck never fades from his life… excluding being judged for his looks and circumstances beyond his control.

"Anne, thanks sorry for that, I couldn't help myself…" he smiled weakly as the woman blushed at the implications.

"It's perfectly fine. Though, please try not to do that again… if ever…" She said softly, regaining her composure. "I will return to the room."

Naruto waved goodbye as he walked to the long hallway where he took the time to realize the place he was in. No electricity, the words they use including himself seem way too polite to even if casual, and lastly the way the maids were very professional he heard only of those kids back in the Victorian era. "Where did I go this time?"

He thought long and hard, but as much as he tried to rack his brain for answers, and the mental pain that accompanied it, nothing came to mind. "Damn, I need some kind of hint." He wanted to tear his hair off if he could figure something, ever since waking up he felt something was on the tip of his tongue! That annoying feeling you know something was in your face, yet you didn't see it when it was so obvious to everyone else.

"Oh Young Claes…" A maid bowed to him as he nodded to her…"Don't forget tomorrow the Prince and Princess is coming tomorrow. So please sleep early if you can." She reminded the boy who comically stood still as she went on to her duties.

Naruto blinked, "Beg pardon… Prince and Princess?" But something else caused them to realize the odd feeling in his head. Claes wasn't that… oh crap baskets.

In his old life, he had two close female friends who never judged him on his looks and introduced him to anime. The first was their favorite games, usually towards girls, but due to Naruto not knowing anime before meeting them, it was an otome game. An otome game was usually a game geared towards women who want to romance with a boy. Despite some apprehension, it was a cute game. While he didn't like to be the girl of the relationship when playing the game, the story and lore was something for those three to enjoy and joke around.

That game was called Fortune Lover, where the main character/heroine, Maria Campbell, who is a commoner entering a school for nobles where she got in due to her rare light magic.

'You've gotta be kidding me… I got isekai'd into Fortune Lover?'

Well, not Isekai'd as the teen was happy for the fact he didn't get reborn as a chick. But will that mean if he did turn into one and go for women, would that make that a hypothetical version of himself gay or straight? Hmm… wait, that wasn't the problem!

"I'm fucking Nathan~!" Naruto whispered/yelled to himself at the realization of who he was!

Just before he kicked the bucket in his last life, the trio got a revamped version of the game where they introduce two new male characters. Nathan Claes was the twin brother to the game's main villain who was a kind boy on the outside but was a devious man who wanted to control the country to eliminate the corrupt nobles in the shadows.

"I'm so screwed~!" He whispered/yelled to himself again, "Wait, remember…" He took a moment to think as he reached his room where he took out some paper. Writing a small Japanese symbol for 'Fortune' he took the time to remember the important bits of the game.

Okay, so he was Nathan and the girl, Katarina, is his twin who in the game was a pretty spoiled brat. She got an arranged marriage to the Prince, the Dark-hearted Prince, of the game when a childhood injury caused her to use it against the prince to get them engaged to each other. She pretty much dies in nearly all the normal and bad routes for the prince, only able to live when she was exiled for the best ending losing her status of a noble. "But will that mean it will happen to Katarina if she's now the polar opposite to what the canon one was?' He said but sighed at the problem, "Well if she acts like canon Katarina I can at least try to get her exiled, but if she continues to be like this I can try to prevent her doom flags." He nodded to himself, and the idea started to sprout until another realization hit him. "Ok, but…" Naruto took a moment to remember his counterpart routes only to barely remember. "Damn I forgot that my friends did his route when I did N's."

Well… "Better make sure to keep things calm." He said spending the whole day taking notes on what to remember.

"There!" Naruto said while doing some basic round kicks. Despite this being his second day, he was already getting stronger. But that might be due to the world's unique power, magic, that could be helping him. He stopped as he heard footsteps walking to his area, the young man quickly grabbed a towel to wipe his sweat and fix his appearance when Anne came to see him.

"Hey Anne~," Naruto said with a soft flushed face from his workout making him still warm. "How's Katarina?"

The woman bowed kindly as she looked…was she embarrassed? Naruto wondered at the odd look of slight shame and shifting her shoulders around, "Is… she back to normal?" Naruto sighed wondering if his plans on exiling his sister might be needed.

"No, she's…maybe you should see?" Anne mumbled as if the idea was a big problem.

Naruto raised an eyebrow, "Oh trust me, I'm ok, nothing shocks me." He confidently chuckled as-

"I stand corrected…" He said with wide eyes when he saw a green dress, that it was almost farmer clothing, Katarina who was currently using a hoe to dig up the soil. "Uhh…Katarina? What are you doing?"

The girl 'yipped' at the sudden voice coming from behind, "Uhh, Na-Nathan!?"

"What… are you doing?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well uh," she frantically threw her hands about, "I wanted to get better in magic so I figured making a farm would help!"

"You're making a farm… to better yourself at magic…" He said, pondering on her words. "As in wanting to grow magical herbs and the like?" He echoed looking at Anne who merely sighed in an exasperated manner. Ok, it seems that his sister is indeed a different person… a very weird person.

"Oh right," Anne spoke aloud, "Lady Katarina, you need to get ready for the prince! He's-"

"Oh, here he is…" Naruto deadpanned at the sight of his mother with the head maid, along with two adults he never saw accompanying… huh?

Naruto made his gaze to see a well-dressed and handsome young man, he had almost shiny golden hair that was short, with a small low ponytail that was on the back of his head. Wearing a white, almost silverish, suit with emerald green parts to it, on his neck is a white ascot. He had a look of confusion on his face when walking to see Katarina in what would be commoner clothing. "Miss Katarina?"

"Oooh~" Was the sound of Naruto's mother moaning in despair as she fainted when she believed her daughter's chances of high status were all but gone. The head maid thankfully caught her as Naruto was watching Prince Geordo talk to Katarina, he missed what they first talked about, only watching Geordo shake before letting out a chuckle.

But something made Naruto worried as the prince got one knee and lifted his hand to her, "Miss Katarina, I have come to present myself to you formally-?" The young man's words trailed off to a question when watching Naruto move between them with an apologetic smile across his face. "Mister Nathanthan?"

"Ehehe, uh forgive my prince. But my sister is still recovering from her injuries, so I-" He stopped when another girl walked to him, gesturing her hand. "Uhh-"

Geordo smiled almost in an odd show of victory as he lifted his hand to show the girl. It looks this girl was an exact match to the prince, save for the fact she wore a dress similar to the boy's suit but instead of green it had red color in some parts of the dress, with a gold cross on her neck, and long blonde hair that cascaded in a shiny show of lovely beauty. "Ah Nathan, this is my younger sister, Gabriele, she is also here for well- Maybe you two should talk about it?" He kindly suggested

"Would you be so kind as to show me around the house?" The princess asked Naruto kindly with an unusual bored look in her eyes.

"Uh… yes, of course." Naruto blinked, "Please, follow me." He mentally sighed as he lost this round, if he prevented the prince from offering himself for the mistake of giving Katarina her scar, there was no need for most of the plans he made when Maria came into play. He looked back at the girl who followed him into their home, he couldn't figure it out but she seemed familiar and not because she was blood-related to the prince. "So this mansion was in my great grandfather's day, you know?" He said taking one of his conversations with his father about their home to somewhat entertain the princess.

"Is that so…" Gabrielle answered, with a bored tone in her voice. This might be more difficult than he thought. "I'm surprised it hasn't broken down yet…"

"Eheh yeah…" he said with a strained look on his face. Damn, she was kinda… rude, unlike the black-hearted prince who knows how to keep a good poker face she seems to be honest to a damn fault.

"Well can we stop by the kitchen? I need something sweet to eat, oh maybe you like it. It's never been made before!" He said slowly getting excited about the idea that this could make her interested.

Tilting her head, she didn't seem to say no and merely followed Naruto to where he went. Watching him get plates for them as he pulled out something she never saw before watching him take out a large cake, it was tall yet it wasn't multi-layered like some she had with her brothers. Slicing a nice size she saw it look like a standard cake, it didn't give her any excitement as if he made it, there was little doubt it was-

…

She didn't believe it, it tasted wonderful! It wasn't top tier like her chefs' ones, but it was so unique that it was too delicious to complain about.

"It's so… so…"

"Sweet? Delicious?" Naruto grinned widely.

"New!" She said with a cheery smile, "It tastes similar to a cake, but it has this honey-like flavor and it's so bouncy!" She said poking the treat gingerly and watching wobble around.

"Well, it is a cake." Naruto chuckled in amusement.

She shook her head, "No, it's close but it's similar…" she muttered softly, "It's funny, I was so sure nothing was going to surprise me, and yet you did." Gabrielle giggled as Naruto enjoyed her sweet smile. "Hmm, ok, Nathan?" He looked at her with a nod to make her continue what she was going to say. She walked up to him and did a curtsy to him, "I will be honored to be yours…I, Gabrielle Stuart, would be your fiancée."

…

"WHAT!?" Naruto shouted losing his cool for the first time since he regained his memories. "Wait, wait! That doesn't make sense, Katarina was the one who got hurt! Why me?"

Now it was her turn to look slightly shocked, "Eh? Do you mean you don't remember? I was the reason I got you those scars." She said as Naruto's eyes widened… "When my brother went to see Katarina, I tagged along since I was heading to that place anyway to get some stuff for my hobby." She explained as she continued, "Actually I joked saying that I wanted those berries in the tallest tree that would be perfect for my collection."

Naruto nodded as if the memory was finally entering his mind, "I remember Katarina shouting that she will get it for you to make Geordo interested in her, and I did it because…" Naruto realized that his counterpart was probably doing the same, but he couldn't say that. "I did it because I wanted to know your hobby?" He lamely finished thinking it was a weak excuse but it seemed to work as the girl looked stunned for a moment before a small smile spread across her lips.

"…Hmhm," She hummed in amusement at the answer, "I still didn't hear you say your answer to my question? I mean, you don't have a fiancée currently nor I, it seems natural that we are to say yes given we like each other's interests at this point."

"I…" Nathan started before she got him, she used his own words like being interested in her own caused her to lock his place. Any possible way for him to get out is now doom, wow… so this is what the meme's called Task Failed Successfully? Losing to Win? "Umm, yes Princess-" he stopped when she place a finger on his lips.

"If we are going to be wed one day, drop the titles… Nathan~" She winked as the young man blushed… how can a young girl make his heartbeat like that!?

A WEEK LATER

XXXXXXXXXX

Naruto smiled as he raced to the field around him, "Lord Nathan, please don't move ahead without me!" He turned to see Anne rushing to his side.

"Sorry Anne, but I'm in a rush!" He quickly apologized, as the last few days were rather erratic. Ever since he and also Katarina, got engage with both the Prince and Princess of their land the two kids always drop by every day to visit them. While it wasn't too bad, it also was a chance to see if Katarina changed.

AND BOY…DID SHE!

It was like the whole future villain was replaced with a hardworking girl, unlike the information in the game he could remember. This Katarina was honest, kind, modest, and made everyone generally happy, unlike her canon self. But there are odd moments with her, like muttering to herself daily, often trying her best in sword fighting despite having no real talent in it. Lastly, the whole farming mentality that is making their mother want to rip her hair out, it was that and Katarina being slightly a slob that made his mother gush over him whenever he took his lessons in etiquette better than his sister. Kinda sad, but he wasn't complaining if she wasn't going to get herself killed.

"Be that as it may, you should not be rushing yourself!" Anne reminded her lord about his importance to the family.

He couldn't help but smirk at that, apparently, his counterpart just bought some land with his allowance he has been saving up for some reason. Right now with how Katarina was making him look like the golden child, all he has to do is ask his mother if he can take a ride to the place with Anne or Joana, the head maid, and he can do some of his training without too much worry. They reached a large plot of land with Anne looking at the area, "This seems to be the place you bought, they seem to remove the unnecessary clutter last time I can with your father." She stated as Anne went to her lord. "If you don't mind me asking why did you buy this land?"

Naruto looked at the area with a calculated look, taking a moment to appreciate the land. The fact that he saw rows of tilted ground could be a good chance to farm himself. Unlike his sister, he was not interested in getting his mother angry… well at him. His mother was kinda hot when she lost it… damn his young hormones.

"Er… how should I say this?" Naruto began, as he chose his words carefully. "I got curious about farming thanks to Katarina, but unlike her, I'm not inviting mother's wrath." He admitted that Anne seemed to be impressed with his shared interest in the same hobby as his sister but the fact he was smarter about it. "Also, if it is not too much trouble, can you head to town to see if they have any gardening stuff? Just to look, no need to buy anything next time we can get something." He asked kindly as the maid bowed.

"Yes, Lord Nathan. I will even inquire about the prices of the gardening tools you may need."

"Ah, great idea! You're amazing Anne~!" He smiled sweetly to her, making the woman lose her composure as she coughed into her hand, before leaving and settling her beating heart.

He watched until she just was out of his sight…the second she was Naruto quickly sent a flurry of punches and kicks before smiling at the process of his young body still getting stronger from his intense workouts! Whether it was magic or his body, he was almost back to his normal strength and this was his old shinobi self! "This is awesome, in just nine days I am already nearly back to this old level." He laughed at the convenience of the situation. Taking a small break from the rapid martial arts he did, he placed a hand on the ground that was tilled and frowned. It was bone dry. He remembered that in his past life his female friend learned how to farm from her grandmother that the soil needs to be moist.

"If I remember right…" He muttered looking around and couldn't see a nearby source of water, and currently, he is sure that his counterpart hasn't learned magic so can't rely on that for now. But looking around the area that was full of green and healthy trees, "I think a river or maybe lake would be at least close by." He deduced before taking a bucket nearby.

"I should be able to get a few buckets full before Anne returns." Naruto smiled as he ran full burst to the direction he headed, seeing nothing but trees before beelining towards another direction, "Damn where's a source of water where you need it?" He was about to return until he heard moving water from his right side. Dashing towards it he saw a small stream but figured if he could make a new route for the water to lead to his land it could cut time going back and forth. But it depends if it was a big enough water source, "I got time," He stated he was walking upward to follow the source.

It seemed to be a while until he reached a large lake glistening in the sunlight. He smiled as he took a seat next to the water, enjoying the gentle sounds of the lake.

*SPLASH*

Naruto stood up as he heard a sudden noise that made him stand up ready to defend himself… until he saw from a few yards away from him, a blonde girl in a pink dress who dropped a bucket of water. They looked at each other as Naruto's eyes widened from her beauty even at a young age. This young girl was almost like a princess in looks.

Flower petals seemed to dance around her as she walked towards him, "H-Hello…my name is Maria…" She greeted kindly as Naruto smiled back as he was going to introduce himself.

"My name is…"
