Hello everyone it is me again. I've managed to get the wifi now so i was been able to write this chapter.
Some elements of certains animes such as Sword Art Online may be added in this fanfiction.
I hope you'll enjoy this chapter.
I don't own Naruto and Hyperdimension Neptunia.
Chapter 3: Timeskip
5 years had passed since the day Naruto was taken in by Blanc and a lot of things happened in that timespan.
As promised, Neptune and Vert indeed worked really hard to increase their nations' Shares, thus they were allowed to see Naruto in Lowee.
Neptune had given Naruto one of her puddings and they were surprised as they saw Naruto eat the pudding in a single gulp.
Neptune wanted to berate him since he was not enjoying the taste of the delicacy, but after seeing him asking for more pudding, the purple-haired girl relented to his wish immediately.
As for Vert, she tried to hug Naruto (and by hugging I mean put Naruto in the pair of her large breasts), but Blanc was quick to take Naruto in her arms since she didn't want Naruto to suffocate from the titty monsters or turn him into a pervert.
Noire, the black-haired CPU was the only one who came to visit him everyday since she had been doing well for her nation ever since before Naruto arrived.
The girl had once given Naruto a fox plushie and the boy loved it immensely.
As Naruto reached the age of 5, he developed a little pranking habit and quiet personality. One day, he made a prank on Blanc along with Rom and Ram, and let's say that Blanc was never able to catch Naruto much to her surprise.
Blanc taught Naruto how to read as she gave him a children's book and started to read with him, along with Rom and Ram.
Eventually he was able to read perfectly and shared Blanc's passion for reading books. Not as much as the CPU though.
Then one day, when they thought that Naruto was old enough to understand some things, Vert gave the boy his parents' legacy.
He cried and closed himself in his room when he learned that his mother and his father died the day he was born.
Naruto had always wondered where his parents were when he saw kids his age playing with their parents. He had asked Blanc about the matter but the CPU said that they would tell him when he was old enough.
Naruto closed himself in his room for a few days and it took the combined efforts of Blanc, the CPUs, and the Candidates to calm him down.
Eventually, the blonde did calm down and asked the CPU what they knew about their parents and the story behind their death.
Now that he was old enough, he understood why he wasn't told about this since he wouldn't understand why and what happened.
Naruto was surprised that there was a monstrous nine-tailed fox living inside him but that didn't dishearten the boy.
"Remember, Naru-kun," Noire said in a solemn tone. "You're not the Kyubi, okay? You're just his container and if one day some people said that you're the fox or anything, ignore them. Kyubi and you are not the same."
"I get it, Noire-nee-chan. Besides, Kyubi itself will probably get mad if I tell people that I'm Kyubi since I'm weaker than them."
"Saying that it'll get mad is an understatement, Naruto." Blanc chided softly. "Kyubi will destroy anyone that dares to say that."
They laughed before then Naruto looked at the gifts his parents left him.
"I promise that I'm gonna be a shinobi stronger than you two, kaa-chan, tou-chan." the blonde declared as he took the scrolls into his hands.
The blonde CPU squealed happily before she took Naruto in her arms, suffocating him between her breasts much to Blanc's annoyment.
Since then, Naruto had begun reading the scrolls his parents left him.
From his mother he was given the scrolls of Fuinjutsu, Shadow Clones, since Uzumaki had a lot of Chakra reserves and normal clones wouldn't be possible for them, and the Uzumaki style of Kenjutsu which had one-sword style and two-sword style
Along with a pair of two swords named the Elucidator, and Dark Repulser.
The dual wielding from what Noire told him was a skill that was very hard to master and only Kushina was able to master that skill perfectly from what Minato told her.
Therefore, Noire could only teach him the basics of sword-play.
Of course she did that with a wooden sword as she didn't want Naruto to hurt himself.
However since she was sometimes busy, she couldn't teach him more than a few basics.
The boy was then determined to learn the rest from the scroll that his mother left him with Noire observing him from time to time.
As for his father's gift, he was left with his signature jutsu from what was written in the scroll, it was said that the first technique was what gave his father the moniker of the Yellow Flash, the Hiraishin and the second technique was what he created and named by his mother, the Rasengan.
Naruto felt elated to have the honor to continue his father's legacy, but then he was downtrodden when his father mentioned that he needed to learn Fuinjutsu at first to be able to understand how Hiraishin works.
At least the Rasengan was learnable though once again he must be disappointed by Histoire.
He was told that unless he unlocked his Chakra network, something that only him from Gamindustri had, he couldn't do much.
Histoire told him that his best bet was to go to Konohagakure to unlock and learn to control his chakra.
This was then shared with the CPUs.
Histoire told them that there's a few people who could help him for this but they lived in Konohagakure, and it was too dangerous for him to go there now.
Especially when she learned that the village's hatred for the Kyubi and the boy didn't disappear at all.
Speaking of Konohagakure, Danzo made a lot of kidnapping attempts against Naruto, but all failed miserably.
They even tried to hold children as hostages but it failed thanks to Blanc's intervention, and a little girl named Abnes who somehow caught the ROOT's attempt which alerted Blanc for her noisy attitude.
It was at this moment that Vert recalled something important that happened to her a week ago and she had tried to cope with it first.
The blonde CPU asked them to wait for her here and hastened to go back to Leanbox.
Not long than 30 minutes later, Vert, in her CPU form, returned to Lowee with a girl with an orange-brownish chestnut hair on her back.
"V-V-Vert!? You have a sister!?" Noire stuttered out as she pointed at the girl around Naruto's age.
"I do, but I don't know how this happened." Green Heart said as she reverted to her normal form.
The CPU candidates then swarmed the meek girl who was hiding behind her sister.
"Asuna, don't be afraid, they're your fellow CPU candidates." Vert gestured softly.
The girl nodded at her sister before coming out from her hiding spot.
She introduced herself but she felt out of place since her fellow candidates were much more mature than her until her hazel eyes saw a blonde-haired boy sitting on a black-haired girl's lap.
Naruto noticed she was staring at him before he jumped from Noire's lap and jogged at the girl.
"Hi, I'm Naruto Uzumaki, nice to meet you, Asuna-chan." The blonde introduced himself calmly as he offered a handshake.
The hazel-eyed girl slowly took his hand and shook it.
"H-Hi, I'm Asuna… are you a Candidate too?"
"Nope, I'm a future Shinobi, y'know."
"Y'know?"
The CPUs snickered at the verbal tic.
"...don't mind it, it's a slip on my part…" The blonde took his hand before rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.
"I-I think it's cute…"
Naruto beamed a smile at the meek girl.
"Thanks! I think you're cute too, Asuna-chan."
As soon as that was said, the CPU candidates felt something uneasy in them and unconsciously glared at the boy.
Then for unknown reasons, Naruto was able to detect the change of the girls' emotions.
"Uh…did I do something wrong, Ram-chan, Rom-chan, Uni-chan, Nep-chan? Why are you mad at me?"
The sisters were caught off guard and tried to cover it with several reasons though their sisters knew why.
But then they were confused as to how Naruto was able to sense their emotion.
Even Histoire didn't know the reasons behind this.
But, she speculated that perhaps it was because of the Kyubi sealed in him or his Uzumaki bloodline.
They nodded in acceptance for now as they couldn't clarify it now because there were no Uzumaki left and Uzushio, owned by them, was destroyed in the Second Ninja War.
Histoire then threw the blonde a few questions such as when did he realize he could sense someone's negative emotion.
Naruto answered that it was a few days ago when he met Mr. Badd when he was planning to train alone at the park.
Flashback
Naruto was walking toward Lowee's park as his big sister Blanc was busy. Rom and Ram wanted to go with Naruto, but they were caught in the middle of a quest with Nepgear, and Uni right now, and Naruto was too young to take part of a quest much to his disappointment.
As Naruto walked to the park, he bumped into a man who was a little fat and he was wearing a pair of glasses.
"Hey, watch where you're going brat."
The man told him coldly.
"S-Sorry sir i was in my thoughts."
He said but he noticed that the man had a lot of negative emotions. Not emotionless like the people wearing blank masks he encountered before, but more like anger, and sorrow.
"Hmph." The man then took a closer look at Naruto, it was rare to see a child his age unsupervised by their parents even in Lowee.
"What are you doing there alone brat?"
"Weeeell... I wanted to go with my big sisters but they were busy so I came here alone to play~"
Naruto told him with a cheerful voice.
"Can I ask you a question, mister?"
"What is it?"
"Why are you so angry and so sad?"
The man's eyes widened greatly. How did this brat know he was feeling? Did he... No,that wouldn't be possible.
"I... lost my daughter because of that White Heart's fault. Had she saved her that day, she would have survived."
The man growled angrily.
"But... I know she wouldn't be negligent about something like that. What was the monster you told me about?"
"The Lizardman."
Naruto thought and frowned about it. He knew of the Lizardman's attack from Lowee's fields. But that doesn't make any sense. From what Blanc told him, she crushed every lizardman she saw in her path...
"Unless..." Naruto muttered.
"Unless what brat?"
"What if one of the Lizardman escaped unknowingly from her? I mean I don't believe that my sister would be negligent like that would she?"
The man pondered about it.
Now that he thought about it carefully, why would she let his precious daughter die without any reason like that? That boy might be the answer to his many questions as he made a valid point.
He didn't know why but he felt that this boy had something special.
From everyone else he would just toss these thoughts away but from him he didn't think he would.
That, and the fact that he heard the boy calling her 'sister'.
Was he wrong all along blaming White Heart?
He then made his choice.
"Brat, I have something to ask. Can you take me to White Heart? I must see her. She may have the answer I seek from her."
End of flashback
After that, Blanc told the man named Mr. Badd the whole truth about that quest incident.
Badd then apologised for his mistakes he was about to make.
Luckily for him, he didn't commit any crimes so Blanc forgave him after some... scolding.
Mr. Badd thanked Naruto for what he had done for him and decided that should Naruto need it, he would help him with anything he could, and left to his home.
Blanc was happy for Naruto as she told him that Mr. Badd was the first person outside of her, the CPUs, and the Candidates to place his faith on Naruto. Mr Badd was quite hard to convince to change his ways, and he did what Blanc failed to do with Badd.
XxXxX
Timeskip: 7 years later.
Naruto was now 12 years old and apparently, he had some perks as a Jinchuriki, such as he didn't need outsiders' help to unlock his chakra.
It was around a year after Naruto was informed about his burden that there was a blue and red pillar of light soaring to the sky.
The CPUs were alarmed with the huge amount of unknown power appearing all of the sudden but when they found out who caused it, the CPUs calmed down.
It was then Naruto told them that when he was training with his sword, he felt something warm flowing inside his body and Vert who knew what that meant since Minato was the same when he first unlocked his chakra, tried to have Naruto do the leaf exercise by placing a leaf on his forehead and kept it staying there without touching it.
The result? The leaf was torn into miniscule pieces and exploded.
That was the time Naruto was told that he had unlocked his chakra, they speculated that Jinchuriki's chakra coils must have unlocked themselves because of the Biju inside them.
From then on, Naruto started to do chakra control exercises mentioned by his parents, making sure to not miss any important details when he did it.
It took him quite a while since he had a lot of chakra, but eventually he managed to learn up to kunai-balancing without any problems.
He had spent the time training his body and mind alongside his skills in Kenjutsu, Fuinjutsu and the Rasengan.
It took alot of years, but Naruto managed to convince everyone to let Naruto become a Ninja in the Elemental Nations so he could continue his parents' legacy.
Vert suggested that Naruto brought Asuna with him to Konoha when the genin exam will take place in a few months since in order to be able to take missions from a village from the Elemental Nations, he needed to have at least a team.
Blanc proposed to them that she bring Naruto to Konoha when the time will come while discussing something with Hiruzen.
The rest of the CPUs agreed with Blanc, though they didn't need anything from Konoha except their promise of Naruto and Asuna being safe.
For now all they can do is to enjoy their time together.
XxXxX
A couple days later, four goddesses fought each other in what seems to be a battle of death.
The four goddesses glared at each other preparing the next strike.
"I won't let you have your fucking way!" White Heart said glaring at Purple Heart who closed her eyes.
"I hope you can entertain me a little bit." Black Heart proclaimed a little cocky.
"At least you should feel honored to be able to face me." Green Heart summoned her spear.
As everyone was ready to strike, Purple Heart then spoke.
"Alright, I'll play with you for a while." She then opened her eyes. "Come and get it!"
"Shut up bitch! This is for killing Naruto! I'm going all out"
White Heart then charged toward Purple Heart. She struck with her axe but Purple Heart dodged by jumping in the air.
"You're wide open!"
Purple Heart then attacked White Heart from behind as she summoned her claymore.
She struck White Heart who blocked the attack with her weapon.
The Lowee's CPU then swung her axe but missed Purple Heart by an inch. Then their weapons clashed with each other until a voice joined them.
"Don't forget about us!" Black Heart suddenly charged at Purple Heart who couldn't block the attack completely and was knocked back.
"You've met your end today" Green Heart followed up with a thrust which Purple Heart dodged narrowly.
Weapons clashed with each other as the two CPUs tried to one-up the other.
Finding an opening, both Black and White Heart pincer-attacked the Planeptune's CPU from behind.
"You're mine!"
"I'll finish this!"
Both CPUs said as Purple Heart clicked her tongue before she tried to jump away from Green Heart who she clashed with.
Seeing her grip on her claymore weakened a bit, Green Heart took her chance.
She delivered a roundhouse kick, and her spear was enveloped with green energy before thrusted at Purple Heart.
"This is where you shall perish! Disappear!"
Green Heart declared as the CPUs charged at Purple Heart altogether.
"GAH!"
The three CPUs attacks reached her and Purple Heart was down.
"It is high time you receive your comeuppance, Purple Heart. No... Neptune!"
Green Heart said with venom in her voice.
Purple Heart gritted her teeth, injured.
"How careless of me... To think you three would join forces..."
"Oh come on. You know what would happen when you killed Naruto-kun. It only makes sense to avenge him and to lower the head count at times like this."
Black Heart said arrogantly.
"It'd be a pain if you end up being the last one standing. So we're gonna beat you down first!" White Heart were not really happy with the outcome of this fight however.
"Tch... If only Nepgear were here... i shouldn't have abandoned her!" Purple Heart muttered although the others seemed to hear her.
"Too late for regrets now! Prepare to die!"
"Please rest assured, Neptune we won't torture you. Expect a swift and clean death."
"Leave the finishing blow for me! I promised him I would kill her."
The three Goddesses declared.
"I'll never lose. Even against the three of you, I'll be victorious!
Purple Heart exclaimed.
But before she could make a move, Black Heart already made her move along with the other CPUs.
"Infinite Slash!"
"Hard Break!"
"Spiral Break!"
All three CPUs struck Purple Heart who couldn't block their EXE Drive Skills and finally...
Purple Heart was defeated.
"N-no...this cannot be...Is this...where I finally die? It... can't... be..."
She then disappeared dead.
...

XxXxX
"Nooo! I lost you guys!" a girl whined.
Blanc gave an indifferent glance at Neptune.
Noire and Vert were smiling in victory.
Nepgear tried to cheer Naruto up who pouted while eating puddings.
Asuna stared at Neptune in a disapproving look since the CPU killed Naruto in the game.
"Hmhmhmm... One down, two to go. But victory shall be mine." Vert said glad that Neptune had already lost.
"Get real! With Neptune out of picture, none of you stand against me." Noire said simply.
"Aw c'mon, it sucks when you all gang up on me just 'cuz I'm awesome! You're all cheater bully-eaters!" the aforementioned girl shouted.
"As if you were better. You basically backstabbed Naru-kun." Blanc pointed out. "And besides, we all inadvertently had the same goal in mind."
"Meh..."
Neptune pouted cutely.
"Surely Naruto-kun will forgive me right~?"
She stared at the pouting Naruto who stuck his tongue out of his mouth.
"Blah! That wasn't fair, Neptune... You killed me the instant you saw me in the game! Next time I'll beat you up!"
Naruto declared with determination.
Neptune couldn't say anything else feeling 'betrayed.'
Kinda deserved this though.
"That's what you get for killing him in the first place." Noire said as Blanc nodded in agreement.
"Times like this should give you a glimpse into who you are as a person, and how you act in your daily life." Vert sagely said.
"Aww... I wanted to play too..." said Nepgear, who stopped patting on Naruto's head.
"I'm as sorry as a cat Nep Jr. It's a four-player game, so..."
"How come Naruto-kun were able to play on it then?" Asuna asked.
"I-I let him borrow my own avatar. N-not because I wanted to let him control my avatar or anything!" Noire told them suddenly.
"Awww... And why not?"
Naruto asked her with his famous puppy and innocent cute eyes with crocodile tears.
"Gh..."
Noire was cornered, unsure what to respond to with a slight blush on her face.
"Just a second. I'll win this run real quick!"
Blanc said with her eyes burning with determination. Everyone could see the flames from her eyes.
"Okay, one more game! If I let you all win every time, it'll make Planeptune's CPU look like a loser!"
"Hey not fair Neptune i wanted to play too!" Naruto whined
"Me too..." Asuna followed.
Neptune just outrightly ignored the two of them.
"Alright, round two fight!"
Neptune said as her avatar reappears in the game.
However, her avatar doesn't move at all, nor react at all.
"Huh?"
Neptune was confused of what's going on.
"The battle is not initiating. What is this buggy screen?"
Vert wondered, also confused.
"Only Purple Heart is showing up. None of ours are even loading..." Blanc then glared at Neptune. "Neptune, did you break the game?" She asked very seriously.
"I did nothing of the sort!" She said a little offended by this accusation.
"I selected my titular character and pushed the START button like always!"
"So it's a freeze bug, no?"
Asuna asked. Noire then said.
"I have the game myself, but I've never had this happen to me."
"If it's a bug…then I might have a solution for them." Nepgear said with a hand on her chin.
She then brought out some helmet thingy, surprising Neptune who didn't know her sister was so good with electronics.
The Green Heart CPU's eyes widened as she found the thing Nepgear brought out similar to that one anime.
"Nepgear!" Vert called out suddenly, surprising the poor sister of Neptune. "May I try to use it to dive into the game?"
Said sister chuckled sheepishly.
"Um…well, I just finished its development this morning… it's untested and… I don't think anyone can use it…"
A mischievous grin crept onto Vert's face.
She was about to reach for the headpiece until a pair of tanned arms took it first and put it on his head.
"I'm going iiiiinn!" Naruto exclaimed cheerfully, drawing a horrific look from Nepgear and the CPUs.
"Naruto-kun! Did you not hear what I just said!? It is untested!"
Those words didn't reach the blonde since his consciousness had dived into the Purple Heart's Avatar inside the game.
"Oh, wow." Naruto gasped as he felt his voice was of Purple Heart, not his usual one.
His eyes traced his surroundings in awe.
"So this is how it feels like to be inside a game, huh?"
Naruto smirked with Purple Heart's face before voices calling his name.
"Naruto-kun/Naru-kun!"
"Whassup?"
"Nooooo! Don't talk like that in my Goddess form! I sound like a hooligan!"
"You're in big trouble, mister! Did you not think before jumping ahead!?"
"Are you alright, Naruto-kun!? I was planning to have Neptune here to dive inside since it's her avatar ingame!"
"Naru-kun! I can't believe you'd actually act like idiot Neptune over here!"
"Naruto-kun! I'm glad you're okay!"
"You shouldn't act rashly, Naru-kun!"
"W-wait girls! The messages pop out at the same time and it's covering my vision!" Naruto said as he re-read them starting from the first one.
"Uh…" He gulped hard reading Blanc's message after Neptune's before moving to Vert, Noire, Nepgear and Asuna.
"W-well…anyway! I'm fine!"
"Don't think you're getting away, Naruto-kun! We're gonna have a TALK after you get out!"
"...yes, sis…"
"And I'm going to join Blanc-san in talking with you." Asuna followed.
"Yes…"
The blonde sighed before he began to walk around the net-dungeon.
Naruto encountered some bugs and defeated it rather easily with Purple Heart's in-game status.
However, he felt much more tired than usual on his shoulder.
"..."
"Naru-kun? What's wrong? Why did you stop suddenly?" a concerned Noire asked as a message window popped up in front of the blonde.
"My shoulder's aching…"
"O-oh…"
"What caused it? I've never felt like this before just from a few movements…"
Naruto rubbed his shoulder and rolled his arm before he noticed the jiggly flesh on his chest.
The CPUs noticed where his gaze was drawn to and Blanc couldn't help but feel jealous of him since Naruto knew how it felt like to have big breasts.
Curiosity took over his mind before he willed his weapon to disappear and had his hand touch the excessive fat on his chest.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" A panicked Neptune called out in embarrassment.
"This thing is soft… but why do they have to make my shoulders ache like this?"
Naruto began as the touching turned into groping.
"Feels like a giant marshmallow…" The blonde said in awe.
"Naru-kun! Stop that this instant!" Noire warned before Vert followed.
"Naruto-kun is in that age already? My~ If you want to know how it feels, onee-chan here can let you touch mine."
"N-Naruto-kun! That's indecent! S-stop doing that with Onee-chan's body even if it's just an avatar!" Nepgear continued with a prominent blush on her face.
"Awawawawa, Y-Y-Y-You make me look like a pervert!"
"I-If you want to touch some breasts, I-I-I'll let you touch mine!"
The CPUs, Nepgear and Naruto went wide-eyed from Asuna's offer.
"W-W-What are you saying, Asuna-chan! You're being indecent!" Nepgear went atomic red.
"NARUTO!"
Said blonde and the others snapped out from his groping from Blanc's voice alone.
"Y-Yes!"
"Hurry and finish your job! We're gonna have our talk after this!"
"Yes ma'am!"
Several minutes later, after quickly exploring the dungeon, Naruto found a bug called Bahamut and dispatched it easily.
"...how do I get out now?"
"Uh… Nepgear?" Noire turned to the Candidate.
"It's not gonna be like in that anime where if we took his gear off, he'll be dead both in real life and in-game right?"
"You're watching too much anime, nee-chan…" the sister sighed before she pulled out the device off Naruto's head.
The blonde's eyes opened slowly before he realized that he had returned to the real world.
"Well…that's one thing that I want to do again…"
"Oh? Which part? The groping one?" an unamused voice asked.
Naruto froze before he was greeted with a smiling Blanc when he turned his head toward the voice. Her face was shadowed and only her glowing red eye was visible.
Asuna too had a smile on her face but it didn't reach her eyes at all.
"Naruto-kun, let's talk?"
His face went pale before he nodded fearfully.
With the rest of the CPUs and Nepgear, they could only pray for the boy's sanity after this.
"At least now there aren't any more pesky viruses in my game. C'mon let's start playing again!" Neptune said in excitement only for Nepgear to interrupt.
"Um… Actually, Neptune…"
"What's up, my darling sister?"
"Ummmm… It's really hard for me to tell you this, but…"
"The game is no longer playable." Blanc stated bluntly as she had just finished "The Talk" with Naruto who greatly paled.
"What?"
"What a shame, but it's the truth. Nepgear looked into it, but most of the characters' data has been erased" Noire sighed in disappointment.
"W-wait! You mean I could be stuck in the game for real like in a manga I've read before?!" Naruto asked as he paled in that thought.
"..." Blanc just glanced at him. Naruto gulped.
"What?! That's so not cool! Naruto beat up the virus, right?!" Neptune asked with a little panic in her voice. Vert let out a small sigh.
"He may have, but that will not fix that which has been destroyed."
Neptune pouted.
"Ughhhh… That is beyond the beyond of lameness…" she said.
"I-i'm sorry Neptune…" Naruto apologized thinking it was his fault.
"H-hey that's cool Naru-kun. You didn't know that!"
The CPU of Planeptune panicked as Naruto thought she would accuse him for breaking the game.
"Come on Naruto. Cheer up. At least it was Neptune's only game that broke."Noire said, trying to cheer up both Neptune, and Naruto.
"You're right. I should count my blessings that my save data and console are safe and sound. So let's change into our brighter moods and keep on playin'!"
Neptune cheerfully said.
"I want to play too!"
Naruto said with fire in his eyes.
"Me too!" Asuna said with her eyes burning with passion.
"Calm down you too." Blanc said with a sigh. But she enjoyed this moment.
"Although I want to play too. How about a party game? That plumber just released a new edition of his party game series."
"Maybe we could tackle an online game together?"Vert suggested.
"Yes please!" Asuna exclaimed as she loved playing online games.
She looked at Naruto only to see him looking at Histoire who just entered the room.
"Pardon me everyone."
Histoire with a tired sigh.
"Hi Histy!" Naruto greeted.
"Why hello there Naruto-kun." Said tome replied with a smile.
"Nice timing, Histy! We're out of those dry, crackery things. Can you go get more?" Neptune asked.
A twitch.
"I'd rather have something sweet."
Another twitch.
"Girls?" Naruto called out but was ignored.
"Why don't we eat the special Lastation cookies I bought?" Noire suggested.
"Not a bad idea. But if cookies are on the menu, I would prefer a pot of black tea over green,"Vert added.
"Naruto-kun?" Asuna asked as Naruto went paler and paler.
"Girls!" Naruto said a little louder.
He was ignored again.
Only Asuna noticed.
"Oops! I'll go make a new pot, then!" Nepgear said.
"A-Ah! Nepgear! Let me do it for you!" The whiskered blonde said and the Candidate nodded at him.
Histoire sighed exasperatedly as she watched Naruto leaving the room.
"Hey, quite loafin', Histy! Our mouths demand sugary treats! Oh wait, it's rematch time!" Neptune ordered.
Histoire then had enough.
"All of you… knock it off!" Histoire yelled to them, surprising everyone in the room.
"Whoa! Why the badditude, Histy!?" Neptune asked, visibly surprised.
"Heavens, my heart nearly leapt right out of my chest…" Vert said.
"SILENCE! I must raise my voice! Days after days, You four along with your brother and sister meet up only to play games! You are CPUs!" She paused letting them sit properly before continuing. "How is it proper for the CPUs meant to rule the world to play and lollygag their lives away?!"
"Huh? Histy… are you… angry? Like, for realsies?"
Neptune asked, a little afraid.
"N-Now now, Histoire-san. Please calm down." Nepgear tried to placate the tome.
"I will not do such thing! Nepgear, you are partly at fault as well! I understand Naruto-kun playing games due to his young age, but you Nepgear, you spoil them so much that they don't work!" Histoire scolded.
"I… I'm so sorry!" Nepgear apologized.
"Hmph! It is painfully clear that Neptune is a lost cause, but you are so smart and serious, so why?!" Histoire asked with a sigh.
"W-Well…" Nepgear wanted to say something. But find out she couldn't.
XxXxX
A bit later, Naruto returned to the room after he heard the shouting quiet down a bit.
"There you are, young man." Histoire greeted with her arms crossed in front of her.
"Ah! It's the traitor that left us to our peril!" Neptune said as she pointed at Naruto.
"No, I actually tried to warn you but all of you didn't even care about it."
"I can testify to Naruto here." Histoire added making Neptune to pout. "Anyway. I heard from the girls here that you used an untested device that could be dangerous, mind explaining why you did it?" Histoire asked in a rather dangerous voice which made Naruto gulp loudly.
The blonde tried to answer before the purple-haired CPU interrupted.
"Darn tootin'! I mean, even CPUs need to take staycation for a bit. Working us any harder has gotta be against some kinda goddess labor law standards things!" Neptune said, trying to reason with her.
"How many years do you think have passed since that battle?! Enough! You three…" a small scolding glare at Naruto who immediately paled. "Sit down right now! Today is the day I will pound you two into your thick skulls exactly what it means to be a CPU!" Histoire ordered.
"Buh-whaaa?! Raincheck, please! And why just us? What about them?!" Neptune asked who was joined by Naruto.
"Yeah why me? I'm not even a CPU!" Naruto said but a glare from Histoire shut him up. "Shutting up now…"
"Pardon us Neptune, and Naruto. I believe we shall be taking our leave now." Vert cheerfully said.
"I'm sorry Naruto. But think of this as your punishment for what you did earlier.". Asuna said, joining Vert's side.
"You better not give Histoire anymore trouble, you hear me?" Noire said with a little smirk but felt sorry for Naruto. Somehow.
The two of them flew away in their HDD form with Asuna in Vert's arms.
"I'll leave Naruto-kun to you Histoire." The Lowee's CPU turned to her surrogate brother. "As for you Naruto-kun… This is your punishment." Blanc simply said as she took off in her HDD form.
"Aw man! They're quicker to run away then I run toward the fridge! So lame… Don't abandon us!" Neptune whined.
"Big sis don't abandon me there!" Naruto whined as well.
"SILENCE! Your task now is to listen intently to my lecture. Starting with you two. The primary duty of any CPU is…"
XxXxX
Meanwhile, as the double Ns was lectured by Histoire, in a small alleyway, someone was forcing something into a girl's mouth.
"Come on! Take it! I know you want it!" the voice said with a chuckle.
"N-no! What are you doing! Please stop!"
The noises attracted several bystanders but they ignored it.
XxXxX
An hour later, Naruto was seen walking with the CPU of Planeptune patrolling the park.
"Nep-chan! Why are there so many monsters here!"
The blonde swung his sword at the Dogoo slime, killing it.
"Ehehe! Oops!"
"What do you mean 'ehe'!? Look at them! We've been going at it for an hour and their numbers didn't dwindle at all!"
"Let me handle it then! CPU form! Let's go!"
In a flash, Neptune's form transformed into an adult one with dark-lilac purple hair and blue eyes. She wore a black skintight leotard with purple segments and silver pieces along it.
"Now, Naruto-kun, please stand back and let me handle them all." She said with a confident smile as the blonde did so.
The CPU raised her one handed sword before yelling her signature move.
"Neptune Break!"
The monsters were all wiped out with that single move before Purple Heart turned around at the whiskered blonde.
"...That's lame…who put their name into their technique?"
The CPU would have face-faulted if not for her sword holding her weight at Naruto's harsh comment.
"N-now, now. Isn't it cool to have your name in your techniques?"
Naruto deadpanned at the CPU.
"Nope. That's lame and it even gives out your identity to your enemy."
The purple-haired Goddess blushed at the remark, not thinking about it at all before naming her technique.
"Uh…" The pair then turned to the noise and found a girl with long heather blue-hair and blue-green eyes framed with eyeglasses in a black business attire. "Where am I?"
Both Purple Heart and Naruto glanced at each other before the latter approached her.
"Hey, you alright?"
"Yikes!" The girl jolted from his voice before looking up at Naruto. "Oh…sorry for that, I'm saved…" She released a relieved sigh seeing there were no more monsters.
"Can you help me? I've been lost for a long time…"
Purple Heart then floated forward.
"I remember you… Histoire told me that there was a Citizens Group coming the other day, but why are you here? If I recall correctly, Histoire told me that all of you should stay together."
Naruto quirked a blonde brow at the CPU.
"You really need to step up your work, Nep-chan…"
Said Goddess sheepishly rubbed the back of her head. "Sorry…"
"GAHHH! Th-th-the CPU!" the girl took a step back in surprise seeing the Goddess.
"Nope! You're not running away again!" A hand circled itself around her neck.
"Choking!... You're choking me!"
"Ah, Whoops!" The Goddess let her go before said girl nursed her neck.
"W-What is a CPU doing out here?"
"Well, isn't it obvious? I'm working hard to make Planeptune safe and sou–"
"Don't trust her, if it's not for Histoire. Nep-chan wouldn't be here right now and would still be in her room playing games." Naruto interrupted, drawing a surprised look from Purple Heart.
"Gah! N-Naruto-kun? Y-You're damaging my reputation here…"
"I-I agree with him though… because if you were truly doing what you said… I wouldn't have formed my group…"
"Ugh… the two of you have a pretty razorblade tongue…"
Naruto and the girl high-five before the latter continued.
"Not for me, I wouldn't be this way if it's not because of all of you CPUs."
"Eh?"
"I told you before that CPUs shouldn't exist and we only need rules and guidelines, correct?"
"Yes?"
Naruto began to move away from the girl whose personality changed all of the sudden.
Purple Heart, though she didn't show it, began to tense as her hand slowly moved to the side, ready to call her weapon.
The girl then smiled.
Until a black smoke began to rise from the ground and ensnared the pair in front of her.
"W-What's this? It's draining my power!"
Naruto meanwhile channeled his chakra onto his legs before he pushed off of the ground.
Purple Heart wasn't in the same boat since she felt her power leaving her body and reverted to her normal form.
She was slowly dragged down to the black portal underneath her.
"W-Whoa! I-I'm getting sucked into it!"
"Nep-chan!"
Naruto created two shadow clones, one trying to apprehend the girl while the other trying to inform Nepgear and Histoire.
The blonde dashed toward the klutzy CPU and caught her hand as he was now too being pulled into the hole.
"N-Naruto-kun! Let go or you'll get dragged in too!"
"Hell no! I'm not leaving you behind!"
The blonde forced more chakra into his legs but it was futile.
Soon, the two were pulled inside the black hole and the girl was gone before Naruto's clone could capture her.
"Dammit!" The clone growled as he looked around the park before he poofed in a smoke.
XxXxX
With Nepgear in their home.
"It's getting a bit late… maybe I should have come with them…"
"Gear-chan!"
A ragged voice of Naruto called out.
"N-Naruto-kun!? What's wrong? Why are you alone? Where's onee-chan!?"
"Boss and Nep-chan are in trouble! We met this leader of Citizens group at the park and suddenly a black smoke got us out of nowhere and–"
*POOF*
The clone burst in smoke.
Panic marred her face before Nepgear left her room and looked for Histoire to inform her about what happened.
XxXxX
With Naruto and Neptune.
The two were now free-falling.
"Well…this is a predicament…" Neptune said with a hand under her chin before turning to Naruto beside her. "We're falling, aren't we?"
"...How in the world are you not panicking?"
"But… I mean, this always happens, so I'm used to it. Something like this won't even make me panic." Neptune smiled at the blonde before she noticed the grin on his face.
"I see. You're used to it, huh?"
"N-Naruto-kun? S-somehow…I have a bad feeling from your look."
"We've been falling for 30 minutes now and the velocity is no joke."
"W-W-wait, wait, wait! This is bad, isn't it? It's super bad, right?"
Seeing her now panicked look, Naruto grabbed Neptune's hand before pulling her closer.
"Hold on tight! You're gonna be my mattress, Nep-chan!"
"Wait, what!?"
Neptune's eyes widened greatly before she noticed two girls at their landing destination.
"Well, hello there, that twin-tailed girl is someone that we know~"
Naruto sweatdropped before the two crashed landing on the two girls.
"Owwieee~"
"That…hurts…somehow…" Neptune said with her heart twirling around in a spiral. "You're cruel…Naruto-kun…"
"You're a CPU, Nep-chan… your body is literally stronger than mine…"
"But still…"
"Areeee~~? You two are still alive… Are the two of you alright…?"
A girl in pyjamas with light purple hair tied in a braid to the back asked with a carefree tone.
Neptune and Naruto looked up and found a pair of magenta-colored eyes looked at them in wonder.
"'Sup? Oh, yeah, a fall like this is nothing! I'm what you'd call a seasoned sky-faller!"
"More like a seasonal sky-faller!" Naruto retorted on top of Neptune.
"Ohhhh, a seasonal sky-faller…"
"Hey, Naruto-kun! I've got a reputation to keep here!" Neptune pouted at the whiskered blonde. "Anyway, my name's Neptune and this is Naruto-kun!"
"Nice to meet you!"
"Neptune? Naruto? I'm Plutia…nice to meet you~"
"Plutia? Too many syllables! Can I call you Plutie instead?"
"Oh? Sure… then I will call you Neppy too…"
Plutia then turned to Naruto who was watching their interaction.
"Do you not have a nickname for me…?"
"Ugh…" Naruto put a finger under his chin. "How about Tia?"
"It has a nice ring, I'll call you Naru-kun then~"
The blonde nodded before he fired off his question.
"By the way, Tia, where are we? I don't think I've ever seen this place before."
"Here? We're at Planeptune, it was recently chartered not long ago…"
"Planeptune?" Neptune sat up on the 'thing' under her as Naruto moved to the side. "Nuh-uh, I know Planeptune like the back of my hand but I've never seen this place before."
"Whaaaaaat? Really…? But I'm telling you the truth…"
"Yup…" Neptune and Naruto began to look around. "This is some kind of hidden camera reality show thing, isn't it?"
The CPU of Planeptune put on a smug look.
"You've picked the wrong girl to play a prank on. Ain't no way you'd be able to trick Planeptune's CPU!"
"Whoaaaaa! You're Planeptune's CPU too? I mean I am one too…"
"H-Huh? D-did Histy pick a new CPU when we're out patrolling?"
The two sky-fallers then felt something underneath them moving before Plutia could continue.
"How long are you gonna chat while sitting on me!?"
"The ground talks!"
Both Naruto and Neptune jumped to their feet, the former's eyes widened seeing the twin-tailed CPU with different attire.
OST playing: Neptune Segashite
"Aaaah, I'm sooooo sorry that I forgot about you Noire~ I was having so much fun talking to Neppy and Naru-kun~"
Said Noire turned to the pair of sky-fallers.
"As for YOU TWO! Falling out of the sky, really!? It's absurd that you fell on me like that!"
"Correction!" Naruto raised a hand, unflinching from the glare that Noire threw at him. "It was Nep-chan's fault that she redirected our landing spot here when she saw you, Noire-chan."
Noire turned to glare at the sheepish Neptune before turning her eyes in wary at Naruto.
"Wait, how do you know my name?"
Naruto smiled.
"Because we have a Noire too in our dimension."
The screen cuts with the screen showing Neptune, Noire, Vert, and Blanc dancing.

Mata raishū…
The screen is cut out for the black screen with a purple text "To be continued...?"
I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
I have one question for you readers and authors.
Since this fanfic will eventually become a harem, should Blanc, and Vert joins the harem too ?
It is up to you to decides as you have planty time to do so. We were thinking about Neptune/Purple Heart too but we need to worry about the Victory Arc first.
Be ready for the next chapter. Have a nice day!
