Chapter 4- The Kinky Rider and the Lazer-blasting Saber

"My master has ordered you to be taken to him. Please, do not resist too much." The Purple-haired woman told him, as she brought forward her weapons.

Naruto cracked his knuckles together, and he asked, "Is that so? Then I'm afraid I won't make this easy for you," he told her.

The woman flailed her chains, twirling her daggers around in her palms, adjusting them, so they were ready to ensnare him.

"Then I am sorry to tell you this will not be pleasant," she told him.

And within an instant, she rushed forward. Naruto had to hand it to her, the woman really was fast, about as fast as Lee was during the Chunin exams. Rushing towards him, she tried to end things quickly with a heavy kick to his cranium.

But unfortunately for the woman he had exceeded such speeds long ago, as he easily dodged to the side. Attempting to deliver a harsh fist to her backside.

And to the woman's credit, she was able to weave out of the way of his blow. Twisting in the air as embedded the tip of her chains in the ground to give herself even more momentum to spin around to counterattack and try to catch him by surprise. He had been expecting it, as he ducked out of the way.

But it seemed the woman was getting even more used to him, as she landed on the ground and flailed her chains towards him. Nearly striking him in his head had he not closed the distance to swiftly jab the woman within her solar plexus as she was sent tumbling to the ground by the force.

As Naruto was left standing over the woman, "Looks like it's my win, Purple-chan, do I get a prize?" He teased, the violet-haired woman getting up from the ground.

She wiped the small amount of blood that had started to form from her lips, much to her surprise. Although she did take his request into account, she realized he could have furthered his assault on her. She answered, "I will admit, you are beginning to surprise me, and I will take heed of your request, I will offer you one bit of information, a question you wish to be answered."

Naruto was actually surprised at this discovery, as he realized this could actually be a good opportunity to gather some sort of information on these strange people whom he kept coming across. Smirking, "Alright, a little game I see, first to three wins. But the first question I want answered is who are you exactly?" He asked, getting straight to the point of the matter.

Medusa thought about it, standing up from her more crouched position. This could also provide a worthwhile opportunity to gather information. Especially considering this man was staring to pique her interest given the fact he was able to actually lay a finger on her. Even in her weakened state given her lack of a capable master that was an impressive feat for someone she had once perceived as human.

As she raised her chained weapons once again. Realizing that there was more than met the eye with this particular figure. "Very well, I am known as Rider, a servant within the Holy Grail war," she answered, not even bothering to keep up the usual rules about keeping the war a secret. She had already shown that she wasn't human, so there was really no point in hiding it.

Naruto's eyes widened for a fraction of a second. Before he narrowed his eyes at the information. So there was some sort of war going on? That would trouble things. Nevertheless, that only posed even more questions. But then he turned his attention back towards the purple-haired woman, 'Rider' she had called herself, as he smiled. "Rider, huh? I really doubt that is your real name."

He saw right through her. And the blindfolded woman didn't even bother hiding it, answering, "It is not, perhaps you will live long enough to find out my real one," she told him, before crouching down and using her long legs to spring herself high into the hair. She used the night sky to conceal herself as she gained her distance, launching one of her chained daggers straight toward his figure.

Naruto dodged, stepping out of the way, as the blade carved itself deeply within the street road he was standing upon. It gave a noticeable dust cloud within the air as it cracked the ground in a spider web-like pattern. Another chain was sent at him, this time with a much greater force.

But that hadn't been Rider's goal, as what she truly intended to do was use the two chains still embedded within the roar as a sort of slingshot to catapult herself down to the ground at breakneck speeds. Nearly breaking the sound barrier as she crossed her arms and legs for even greater aerodynamics, she raised her leg to deliver an even more monstrous strike toward his figure. As she prepared to slam her thigh and heel against him, such a heavy blow would be sure to outright knock him out, if not kill him were it to strike upon his head.

Unfortunately for her, she missed, striking the ground with all of her force, destroying it to bits. Naruto was far too prepared for such an outcome, already expecting it given this unorthodox woman's fighting style, as he just barely got out of the way. Reading a punch on the woman after she had delivered such a devastating attack, the woman was able to prepare herself to intercept it, as she crossed her arms against his powerful blow, but even then the force was far too much for her.

Her chains were still in hand as she was sent flying back, she used the momentum to flip into the air. But not before she pulled against her weapons, the long whips still embedded within the ground, as they were sent out of the ground and towards him. Showing the woman's complete and utter mastery with such a strange weapon.

Not expecting this, it was his years of experience that he was able to dodge just in time. But what he hadn't expected was for the woman to continue her pursuit. As when she had been knocked back she had been able to change her direction and springboard herself off of one of the nearby buildings.

It was on pure instinct that he was able to brace himself, throwing up a rushed arm guard as he crossed his arms to block Rider's punch. Recoiling for the surprising amount of strength the woman was able to produce. Rider was able to then pivot herself quickly, as she spun her entire body, delivering a harsh kick to his side.

Naruto's eyes widened at the pain of the unexpected blow, but as he tried to counter attack the woman was agile enough and smart enough to fall back. A pleased smirk across her face, as Naruto looked at her irritated.

"It seems I have gained a point as well," she said in a haughty tone, not expecting to enjoy this fight as much as she was. As she recalled her whips, switching her daggers once again into a reverse grip, "And it is my turn to ask a question," Rider said, somehow looking at him even though she had that blindfold on.

Naruto sighed, realizing he had indeed lost this round, asking," Alright, and what would you like to know about me, purple-chan?" he inquired.

As Rider pointed her dagger towards him, "I want to know what exactly you are, and how are you able to match up evenly against me?" she asked the only real question that had been plaguing her mind.

.Naruto smiled. "Well, normally I'd say I'm just a normal Ramen chef, but I think that won't satisfy you. Even if you did sort of skimp out on my question, 'Rider', if that is your name," he accused, and at that, the woman gave an innocent-looking expression. Too innocent, as she knew she had been caught red-handed. Before he pulled out a kunai from his sleeve, I guess you could say I'm sort of a shinobi," he stated, the kunai within his hand would help him even the playing field, especially given his opponent was armed and he was not.

"A Shinobi, huh?" Rider mused, unable to comprehend how such a man, wearing orange no less, could be one of the elite secret warrior legends within the myths. But, then again, fighting him certainly was a challenge, and he had shown himself capable of fighting hand-to-hand with a servant. And even though she was severely weakened by the lack of a proper master, she was certain she would still be able to kill any ordinary human. Especially with her Monstrous strength skill, which the man seemed to be tanking when she landed a few heavy blows upon his body.

She wanted to know more, but she supposed she would have the chance to when she inevitably ended this game of theirs. Well that, or when she captured him and brought him to her deplorable master.

No matter, the game had only begun.

Naruto's grin widened.

(With Shirou)

"Hello, my name is Illyasviel von Einzburn, onii-chan," the white-haired girl introduced, staring straight at the red-haired boy.

"That's amazing," Rin couldn't help but gasp as she looked on at the Berserker Class servant. Using a simple Magus technique to read all of his parameters. "In terms of raw ability that thing outclasses saber by a lot." At that comment, the dark knight couldn't help but twitch a little, but she couldn't argue, especially given her current weakened state at the moment and the monstrous strength she could see rolling off of this servant.

Shirou couldn't help but let out a surprised gasp from his lips at the thought of this information. But what Rin's Archer class servant said next utterly shocked him. "It's incredible," Archer couldn't help but marvel. "That one servant can fight the other six combined, and win," he assessed.

Rin nodded, coming up with a plan of her own. "Meaning we will need more than physical strength to beat him," she surmised, gasting a small glance towards her servant, although she was careful to keep her gaze upon their opponent, she couldn't be careless enough not to. "Archer, I think you should stick to your class's primal methods."

Archer had been thinking along the same lines, but even still he had to ask, "What about defense? I doubt you could stop it if it charges." No one could, at that size, and with his supposed strength this servant would be bound to defeat them should they attack him head-on. Illya only giggled, laughing as she watched her prey realize just how bad of a situation they were in.

Rin couldn't help but grimace at that thought, knowing such an outcome would only lead to their downfall should Illyasviel order as such. As such cast a side glance towards Shirou, and his darkened saber, assessing their worth– mostly Shirou's– to see how useful they would be in their upcoming battle. "There are three of us here, we will be able to hold him off at the very least," she told him, although she didn't know with certainty if her statement would be true.

"Understood," Archer nodded, before enacting his orders and transforming into his spirit form to take off.

Rin watched him, seeing as how Illyasviel was letting them converse, whether it was out of stupidity or just confidence she didn't know, but she would use this opportunity the best she could. "Emiya," she spoke up, drawing the boy's attention from the giant beast of a man. "It is up to you whether you run away or stay and fight. But, if you can, try to run far away," she warned, they would never be able to take Berserker on, and she wasn't sure any human could stand up to a servant.

"You two done talking?" Illya inquired, noticing the three were now more than ready for their battle. "So then, can I get started," she said, as Saber narrowed her eyes. "... time to kill you," the Einsbern said in a sickly sweet voice.

"Okay, go get them Berserker," Illyasviel ordered, as the beast's muscles skyrocketed, almost lighting up at their use as before he was otherwise stalked still.

Steam almost seemed to permeate off of him as a show of strength, as the fire within his veins started. Likewise, several cracks in the pavement around where he was standing, almost upheaving a small crater just by his pure strength. The beast raised his arms, giving both a guttural and unearthly howl that struck fear in everything that heard it.

"ROOOOAAAARRRR!"

It yelled as this monster of a man couldn't be human enough to be called a 'he'. As the wind started to howl around him, Rin was forced to shield her eyes from the subsequent dust that followed.

And then Berserker did the most unexpected thing… he lept. He jumped high into the air, at speeds not many would be able to predict from such a behemoth. Saber readied herself from their impending attack, "Shirou, get back!" she told him, not wanting to let her master get hit in the crossfire. As Berserker somehow spun within the air, only adding to his already increasing velocity and momentum.

Rin was ready as well, grabbing a few mana-infused gems from within her pouch as she threw them into the air, giving the two just enough time to run away from the beast's likely landing spot. Berseker was forced to block, not out of fear that they would hurt him but more out of instinct than anything. The large explosions from the gems were just enough to send the beast in another direction. Flurries of both blue and white flames permeated around them at the release of Rin's gems. But the two masters were soon to realize that while they were running, the beast used the opportunity from Rin's gems to blast himself towards the direction they were headed. The smoke dissipated as he hit the ground, and he let out another gut-wrenching howl from his near-fanged lips.

"No, way, that had no effect," the Tohsaka couldn't help but be surprised by the man's supposed invulnerability. That had been one of her best attacks, one that would surely do damage to even the strongest of humans. But it seemed that servants were almost another thing entirely. As Berserker leaned forward, carving even more into the ground as he did so. He pushed with a significant force, sending him towards them at speeds nobody would have expected. "Emiya!" Rin couldn't help but cry out. But it was already too late as the beast was already upon them, his large sword raised high up into the air intent on cutting them down.

But, as he swung, Shirou's saber class servant was just quick enough to discard her rain jacket. Speeding towards them just fast enough to intercept the attack with her midnight blade, a mighty clang resounded out at the clash of the two near-divine metals.

But even still Shirou was taken aback as he fell onto the floor from such a class. Seeing his darkened knight stand above him, a fierceness within her yellow eyes. She let forth a loud grunt of exertion. "HYYAAA!" she howled, as she pivoted around, using the force of the mighty shockwave she created to send Berserker spiraling back.

Rin and Shirou couldn't help but let out a gasp of amazement as they stared at the Saber at their side. As the Alter summoned a black and red visor to cover her eyes; but that didn't stop her from staring down at her opponent, who had seemingly shielded himself from his attack, as he charged for another clash.

Divine steel met each other in a flurry of vicious blasts, as Saber tried to use her smaller stature to try and get the advantage as she pivoted around the berserker aiming for the holes in his defenses. But it seemed her efforts were for naught, as even with the madness enhancement likely attributed to his class the berserker was equally as skilled, if not more so, to predict and block her every attack.

"He's strong," Saber couldn't help but gasp, probably even stronger than she was. She got a slight amount of distance from the beast, assessing the situation for what it was.

But as soon as she tried the mad berserker only let loose another unearthly howl, as he went in for another round. Saber had to block several blows, a high slash, a strike aimed at her chest, a parry aimed at her weapon followed by a counterattack. It was a great number of strikes, that struck fear into the very air itself as thunder cried out.

Berserker aimed high, she dodged back, as the beast's large weapon carved a hole within the park ground around them. Embedding his blade within the soil as a saber used the opportunity to stand atop it so the best would remain unarmed. He aimed a mighty slash that would strike his neck he was powerless to stop it.

"Got you!" Rin couldn't help but cry out at the clear victory of the saber. But what she didn't expect was for the beast to release his grip from his blade, bending back far and quick enough to avoid her own killing strike. As he used the momentum to do a backflip, using the opportunity to kick her with both feet to send her back as he sent a flurry of even more kicks and punches her way that even she had a hard time blocking.

It was strange, even in this man's clear madness he still held an unexpected amount of thought and tactics. And an agility that not many could surely match given his monstrous size. "Incredible, even in the grip of madness you still have such skills," Saber couldn't help but gasp out, narrowing her eyes upon his massive figure. He must have been a rather marvelous person within his lifetime to have gained such mastery of the sword that his skills wouldn't even dull upon his summoning.

She had little doubt that he was using all of his abilities, and she could only wonder as to what his Noble Phantasm was, and if she would be able to match against it. She would have to think of a new strategy to go about this battle should he use it.

"Archer, fire support!" Rin called out, and it was not long before a mighty arrow came down from the rooftops several hundred feet away. Berserker was unprepared, as he charged for the darkened saber once again.

The Alter was ready, however, as she got into her stance as he charged forward. She needed to attack aggressively, this beast was clearly too powerful for her if she would always be on the defensive. But first, she needed to lead him away from her master, as it wouldn't do for her to let her only source of mana at the moment to be caught in the crossfire.

Several more arrows were sent towards the beast, not a single one seemingly wounding Berserk.

It seemed he truly was a monster.

(With Naruto)

The two rocketed towards each other like two speeding bullets, Rider flailed her chain towards him, as he blocked with his kunai. The two pieces of metal slid along each other as sparks flew into the air, mainly carving pieces out of his weapon. Rider's chains were constructed purely out of magic and thus greater than the normal iron and steel that was his kunai. But with all his strength he pushed the chain back, Rider needing a few seconds just to get over her surprise.

But after that she was more than ready as she twisted her body, angling even more of her chains towards him like a spinning top. They were precise too, as he was forced to dodge each of them with needlepoint accuracy. Weaving his way between both of the two chains as Medusa launched towards him.

Hastily grasping onto her leg, he was able to heave the woman out of his way and towards the other direction. But it seems Rider was just conserving and using her momentum, as with a flick of her wrists she was able to send her weapons straight towards him again, this time at even higher speeds.

But Naruto had expected as such, as he stopped in all of his movements, the silver chain rushing towards him. Naruto stretched an arm forward, grabbing it straight out of the air, as his entire body recoiled from the blow.

To the woman's credit, she did seem surprised, as her eyes widened behind her blindfold. Naruto pulled… he pulled hard, as her body was sent towards the blonde at quicker than she could react. She only had the decency and forethought to realize that she could not allow herself to drop her weapon. That was her only real advantage as with her high speeds Naruto had been able to counter with his much greater reflexes and vision.

But as the woman tried to land a blow upon him, Naruto was too quick, weaving out of the way as he dealt a harsh fist against her shoulder. Medusa gritted her teeth from the pain, as well as the realization that she had indeed lost another point in their little game.

"That's another one for me, Purple-chan," he noted down, also enjoying this little game of theirs. He could see that this 'Rider' really didn't want to fight him, at least to the point that it would lead to his demise. This meant that this 'master' of his had some kind of hold over her, whether it be with some sort of blackmail or the like he didn't know.

Another thing he noticed was this woman's clear restraint within her body, as if she were holding herself back, and that she was more powerful than this. But in all actuality that didn't make any sense, as this woman had proved that she was trying to take him down. And even with this little game of theirs, he could see that she was truly giving it her all to defeat him. Still, it proved to be rather unusual, as when he had been ready to land a blow upon the woman her mind seemed to react in time but her body was sorely lacking in the capability to dodge himself. Even with her high agility and speed, she seemed to be incapable of doing some of the things her mind willed her to, and that proved rather perplexing.

Maybe he should ask her about it? Or maybe he should inquire as to why exactly she was serving her master as she was?

But even then those things wouldn't help him at all, and while his younger self might want to gather information on this woman. He realized that he had to look towards the bigger picture. What was the Holy Grail War? What was a servant?

But even then those sorts of questions wouldn't help him in what he really wanted to know…

As he dropped Rider's chains out of his grip, the woman helped herself off of the floor. "Alright, for my second question, I would like to know the details of the sort of energy you are using, why does it seem like it makes up your entire body?" he asked flatly. That seemed like the best question he could ask at the moment, and it was what would answer some of the questions he was having. Why was it as if this woman were entirely composed of said energy? Why were Jack, Kiyohime, and that Sanson guy the same? And why did he detect similar but smaller energy within Rin, Sakura, and even Shirou? It just didn't make sense.

It seemed Naruto's question caused Rider to become slightly taken aback, not expecting him to inquire about such a topic. It was Mana, that was what he was likely experiencing, that much was simple. But it was the fact that this man did not know of it that surprised her, which meant that he wasn't a Magus, or at least didn't have any training to do so. Likewise, it meant that he hadn't even heard of the Magus organization as well. Just who was this Naruto Uzumaki, how was he able to go toe to toe with servants if he wasn't even a magus and hadn't heard about Mana at all? And why did the name Shinobi ring through her mind so much?

Nonetheless, she answered him. "What I believe you are referring to is my Mana. Or magical energy that usually flows through the internal structures within Magus known as magic circuits. The reason my body seems to be made out of it is because I am a servant, a spirit from the past brought back as a familiar in servant form," she informed, as Naruto's eyes widened. Servants? Spirits from the past? Was that what Kiyo and Jack were? Familiars? Like the toads? And if so did that mean someone was able to summon them? If so, why would they?

Another thing she brought up was something called Magic circuits. Internal structures that carried this Mana through the human body. That sounded awfully a lot like chakra, save for the fact she said 'some humans' possess such structures. Unlike chakra, where everyone had a chakra system, even if they were underdeveloped in some people. Which explained why he couldn't detect this energy in all people.

Magus? Was that what Rin, Shirou, and Sakura were? Were they sort of like Shinobi in that aspect?

He had too many questions to get answered at the moment, and at the moment none of them mattered given he was currently supposed to be fighting at the moment. But he was sure he would get some information later on, if not from this Rider herself.

As it seemed the woman was recovering from the blow he dealt her. "That was a cheap shot, you know," she hissed, almost like a snake as she nursed her shoulder.

Naruto merely smiled, "Hey, I'm a shinobi after all, it's what we do," he answered simply.

And at that Medusa couldn't help but upturn her lips, his expression almost becoming infectious. Before her smile turned into a small grin, "Well then, maybe I should do the same?" she said, as she rushed towards him.

Naruto did the same, and they fought, a flurry of blows being pushed up against them, to the woman's credit, she was able to dodge and block them all. Throwing in a few of her own as they did the same. To any others, the scene might look like a dance, albeit a rather violent and fast-paced one. As it seemed each of them almost knew what the other would do, fighting for as long as each of them had, as they ramped up in speeds not many could follow.

A punch here, a kick there, a block, and a counterattack, it was like they were following a unique rhythm of music. They were getting used to each other's styles, Rider was a very keen tactician, and an even better fighter when it came to hand-to-hand combat. It was as if the longer this fight went on the more she was able to read him, the more she understood how he moved, how he fought, everything.

But as even more time went on Naruto seemed to be breaking every expectation she had placed upon him, even from the very beginning. He wasn't weak, he wasn't powerless, and if she had to put it into words. This 'Naruto Uzumaki' would be like the Greek heroes of old, strong, keen, powerful, and determined. But even then there was more to it, as he seemed to be the pinnacle of these aspects; if she were to put it into words, she would say he was almost similar to that of Perseus, the mighty hero and child of Zeus himself. But even then there was something different about him than that man.

For all her immense tactical genius Naruto seemed to have an unpredictability that seemed to counter every single prediction she had made. A punch there, a kick there, and then he might follow up with a palm thrust or even something completely different. It was as if we were deliberately setting patterns that she would instinctively follow and trace, but right as she was about to capitalize on it Narto would change things up, trying something new and performing in a completely different style. It was baffling, a testament to Naruto's immense skill, and had she not been a servant, one of the fastest and most agile servants within the entire Holy Grail war no less, she would have surely been defeated by the blond shinobi before her.

She realized she needed to try and mix things up, as purely doing hand-to-hand would surely spell her downfall, she was already losing in their little game. A game which she was far too invested in to stop now, Naruto Uzumaki had piqued her interest, and for the dangerous snake-like rider, that was a bad thing to do.

Although, in the back of her mind, she did realize that she must complete her mission, that was something she would have to worry about in the future. She was actually having fun right now, as strange as it might seem.

But she needed to turn the tables in her favor.

And she saw the perfect opportunity, as Naruto swiped towards her head, intent on knocking her out, she was able to lean back and dodge just in time. Naruto only being able to hit upon her long silky smooth purple hair in her wake, as Rider flipped, using her forearms to springboard herself off the ground as she flipped within the air.

Her shadow was cast down from the moonlight, as she flew through the air at an impressive height. Naruto stared up at her, readying for her next move. And move she did, as with a single outstretched palm she cast down several chains, each one summoned at her side. This was one of her abilities, as her weapons were merely extensions of her body, namely her hair. Which allowed her to create multiple copies to overwhelm her opponent, sending a multitude toward the blonde down below.

Naruto's eyes widened, not out of any fear of such an onslaught, but more on the lines of how similar the attack was to his mother. Sure, they were fundamentally different, but his mother also had the ability to fashion chains from her body as well.

Unfortunately for Rider, these chains seemed to not be as durable as the adamantine his mother's were made out of, as with the dozens of whips launched at him, several were cut in before they could reach him. Although to their credit, they weren't durable enough to be cut with just a kunai alone, as he manifested a pair from the seals he had etched within his sleeves. No, he needed to channel wind chakra within his blade, a dangerous and razor-sharp amount as not a normal amount would do.

Now, usually, such a move would be frowned upon, even for an experienced wind user like Asuma or the sand kunoichi Temari. Channeling wind chakra too finely would cause the user's technique to backlash and cut up their own hands. But he was the shinobi's leading Wind ninjutsu expert, and as such he had created several techniques not many could manage. This one was much the same, as it was a more advanced training exercise had created to attain an even greater mastery of his affinity. In some ways, this technique required such precision and skill, that it was like thousands of tiny microscopic blades were battling against each other, almost like a weaker, more precise version of his own 'Wind style: Rasenshuriken.'

But the fact that Rider seemed unperturbed as when he was about to slash at another chain, another appeared before him. However, the way it did so was what made it special, as it was as if it had manifested out of thin air.

Unknown to him, this technique that Rider had used was something of a novelty for Heroic spirits like her, as all servants were capable of it to some extent. It was the spirit form, which was virtually undetectable for people without enhanced sensing abilities, and truly her version of it was some of the best, only outclassed by the assassin-class servant itself. You see since her chains were extensions of herself, her hair, and therefore a part of her body, she quickly found out that she was able to transform her chains into her spirit form as well. Rendering them virtually undetectable until the very moment she needed to manifest them for them to do some physical damage.

To Naruto's credit, he was able to slash at the initial invisible chain that had struck at him, even managing to get a few more. But the sheer unpredictability of such a technique made it nearly impossible to dodge all of them, as such, he was promptly captured by one of them as it wrapped around his wrist. And even when he tried to slash himself free that proved unfruitful. When he had done so Rider had predicted as such, positioning her chains at just the right able to snag his other arm as well.

Unfortunately for her, the other chains backfired, as he was able to narrowly dodge them and thus it left the rest of his body unperturbed. Although she had succeeded in what she had wanted, the twin chains around his wrists bound his palms together. The chains coiling around him stretched up to the sky, almost as if he were a prisoner.

No, he was a prisoner.

As both Saber and Berserker continued fighting, Illya followed after them, leaving the two young masters alone in the park they had been standing in.

"Listen to me, you need to get away from here, now!" Rin spoke pointing at the red-haired male, following the Einzbern not long after. He could only barely hear her, as he was too engrossed in the fight that he had previously witnessed.

He didn't know how long he stood there.

Saber, and Berserker, were both powerhouses, people within their class. Servants? Compared to humans they were all basically nothing.

He was useless, he couldn't do anything against such monstrous bloodlust, the very thought of it shook him to his very core.

Falling to his knees, sweat poured down his face, he realized he was powerless. He couldn't even move.

But, if he couldn't even stand up to a monster like that… How could he become a hero of justice? How could he prove himself to be worthy of Saber? How could he save everyone?

It was these thoughts that remained within his mind, even as he felt an immense drain within his system. Why was he so tired, why did he feel like he wanted to sleep? Like the weight of the world was upon his shoulders. He felt terrible, but he hadn't been wounded in the slightest. He only felt this way when he had overworked himself practicing his reinforcement magic.

Shirou realized he needed to get up, and go out and help Saber, but the strain was almost too much for him.

…just what was Saber doing out there?

XXX

(With Saber)

This wasn't working.

Berserker was a formidable opponent, one that not many within the Grail War would be able to match up against given his overwhelming strength. What's worse, the mad servant only seemed to be gaining in strength as the minutes went by.

She wasn't stupid, she knew at this rate she wouldn't win this fight.

The only reason she was keeping up for so long was the nature of her current skills, 'Mana Burst' being one of them. Now, unlike most servants with the skill, her's was unique in nature. The skill's basic quality allowed for one servant to charge up one's mana into their own body or weapon to increase performance as the energy was immediately expelled. Leaving a pure boost in speed and raw power in its wake. Of course, this was only temporary, and the drain upon the skill was immense.

Her mana burst was slightly different, as instead of instantly expelling said energy into her body she retained it for a short while, allowing herself to gain a smaller increase in speed and strength over a much longer period of time.

Not exactly the best when facing the beast known as Heracles, but it did allow her to match him much longer than she would should she be her unaltered counterpart. As such, given her current weakened status, it allowed her to become much stronger when it came to boosting her parameters, even with a weaker master.

The only caveat was that she was constantly spamming the skill, and even if it was at a lower cost than most Mana bursts were, it was still taxing on the body, hence her current master's dysphoria.

Although in all actuality, unlike other sabers, she didn't care in the slightest how she might be taxing him on his mana. He was her 'master', and reluctantly, she was his servant. He had called forth a summons and she had been the one to answer, unlike other kinder servants. If he could not handle her immense costs then he shouldn't have called for her in the first place. That's why, even as she was being ravaged by the mad servant known as Berserker, she didn't back down. No, she charged at him at full force.

Ducking under an overhead swing, she used her smaller size to get up close to the beast to deliver a mighty slash with her darkened sword. Which didn't even seem to phase the madman as he only roared out, trying to grasp swipe upon her with his free hand as she was just barely able to dodge.

The berserker followed up, charging at her with a harsh fist, she was forced to block, using her darkened armguards to block his attack, but even then her body waivered under the stain, unable to conquer over such monumental force. Trying to hold her ground, she was able to barely try to block the harsh swing of the mad beast's blade. But even so, with such force, she was only barely able to keep her footing, sending her careening back.

Berserker followed up, charging with a roar as he leaped into the air after her with strong legs. Grasping onto one of her free-floating limbs she was helpless to stop him, he merely spun within the air, throwing her down with monumental force.

It was with a harsh crash that she skidded along the dirt ground, landing as she formed a giant crater within the secluded graveyard they were now located within. Her body, broken, armor, clearly worse for wear. She rose, still not done with this monumental battle.

And it seemed the mad-berserker wasn't either.

"So, Beast, it seems you have lost your honor in your madness as well," Saber remarked, readying her blade. Her visored eyes glared down at the mad berserker, his anger broiling from this point forward.

"Unfortunately for you… I never had any to begin with." Not letting the beast get an opportunity to best her, she readied her blade. Preparing for a monumental attack, she would never beat Berserker otherwise, he was just too powerful, just too fast for her to face him now.

That did not mean she would not win…

Even if it cost her a master, she would defeat this beast. There would always be others, and if he survived, even better. Perhaps he wouldn't be as useless as she had first perceived?

Nevertheless, she readied her blade, raising hit high into the air, it absolutely bursting with power and dark energy. Even Berserker realized that he could not let her get her attack off, lest it spell his doom. And, with a mighty slam upon the ground, he sent a powerful shockwave her way while simultaneously rushing towards her.

But, as he neared her, just inches apart, the Altered Artoria gave a mighty shout, one that preluded the severed heaven itself.

She swung, a powerful blast swinging with her as well.

"EXXCCAAALLLIIIBUUUURRR….!"

Light engulfed them all.

Earlier.

(With Rin)

Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang.

Several shots of mana were fired from Rin's fingers, although each seemed to be blocked by Illya's bird-like familiars who hadn't even been visible to the naked eyes.

"Gosh, you scared me," Illya spoke in an eerie child-like voice, not even meeting Rin in the eye as her back was completely towards her. Her familiars manifesting from thin air, as Rin grimaced, this wouldn't be as easy as she had once hoped.

"Attacking an unarmed girl without warning, what are you, an animal Rin?" Illyasviel spoke, a smirk across her face as she beheld the sight before her. The magus girl still aimed her palm toward her, not letting her guard down. "Or maybe… this is just the tohsaka's way of fighting," she mocked, trying to provoke the girl even more than she had already.

Nevertheless, Rin wasn't falling for any of it. "Ha! What are you talking about? You're the one who started the fight!" she accused. "Once begun we do anything to win, right?" That was the way of Magus after all. "Or are you going to start from the beginning and introduce yourself like a well-mannered girl," she goaded. But inside Rin realized the gravity of the situation.

If she took down Illyasviel right now while Saber was distracting her servant that would allow both of them to be left standing from that indomitable berserker. It was the safe method, easier in many regards as it would completely undermine the reason for taking down a servant as they fell with the master.

Not that it wouldn't be difficult, she could see that plain as day. And currently, Illya is a powerful magus in her own right. She wouldn't be able to get a shot off on her while her familiars were close to her, which meant she had to get in close, or to get rid of those 'birds' Illya liked to keep at her side, not easy.

"A well-mannered girl?" Illya mocked, "Well, I might have considered it if you were that boy you were with. But I don't feel like it with you, you don't interest me the slightest bit." she said, turning away, but not before giving the Tohsaka one final glance. "Besides, what do you want me to say to the girl who's going to die here in the next few minutes?"

Rin wasn't having any of it, as she sent her mana blast towards the white-haired 'child', although each one was blocked by an almost invisible barrier. As the illuminated white birds flew towards her, sending blasts of light her way so powerful she was forced to try and retreat for better positioning. Sending a few red blasts their way which only seemed to do nothing as they chased her at speeds not many could manage.

She was much the same, "Ahhh!" a scream tore from her lips, as one of the white and blue blasts hit her at her side, sending her careening into a nearby ditch in the forest they were located within.

Her familiars were autonomous in nature, Rin realized, as she was still on the dirt and muddied floor. They would pursue their target all on their own, plus, given they kept throwing shots at her without a need for Illya to supply more mana. She could only deduce that they produced their own.

Not good, not good at all. They were almost like Magus in of themselves, and surely they were High-performance, built for combat. But surely, they had to have some kind of weakness, one that she could exploit, all things did.

"Gosh, what nimble prey," Illya giggled, as she walked up towards the downed magus. Before she brought her hands up to her head and plucked a few hair strands from her side. "I think I will add two more just for you," she mocked, as the white hair at her fingertips began to morph into two more white bird-like familiars that flew throughout the air.

'Oh, come on!' Rin mentally cursed, realizing this would get much harder. But, she would have time to complain later, as she had a fight to continue. If they flanked her, surrounding her at all sides given their numbers this would all be over. Which meant… She took out a few gems within her pockets, one green in color. She readied herself, rushing back towards the white-haired girl, ready for another fight.

"A frontal assault? That's foolish Rin," Illya spoke in amusement, perhaps she had gone mad within the battle? But soon, she realized the girl was far more clever, as the girl ran around her side, panting from the exertion.

Rin stopped in place, tossing the green gem Illya's way. What she was prepared for was another explosion, what the Einzbern was not prepared for was a giant green glass-like barrier to form in the space between them "Gandr!" the magus spoke, activating her spell.

And, as the white birds sent several blasts of light her way, Rin used her barrier as a sort of cover. Forming two black balls with a red eerie glow within her palms, she sent them toward Illya's familiars taking two out as she did so.

But, what she was not prepared for, was a giant sword-like structure to come barreling through her barrier, one similar in design to Illya's bird-like familiars. "The familiars changed shape!" Rin realized this was just unfair!

"So you can fend off Zelle but not Degen?" Illya realized, referencing the forms of her familiars that they took, as her other bird-like familiar morphed into a sword as well. "And here I thought this was going to be fun. How disappointing," she frowned. "Well, this is the end for you. A disgraceful hind deserves to be skewered."

As she launched the final sword Rin's way, the girl realized it was moving far too fast for her to react.

Luckily for her, several crimson arrows were launched toward the girl's weapon as well, disrupting and killing the familiar as well. Illya was shocked, but she soon realized that it was Rin's servant that had interfered with their duel, that was just like the Tohsaka, and Magus in general.

As a loud cry erupted into her ears, Illya's eyes widened, as she rushed to the scene.

"EXXCCAAALLLIIIBUUUURRR MORGAN!"

Bright darkened light engulfed them all.

XXX

Death and darkness permeated the land, what was once a lustrous and overgrown forested area was now anything but. The graveyard they were located in was utterly decimated, destroyed, and upturned in her Noble Phantasm's activation.

Berseker was not much better, as his torso was utterly sliced in two, a large who within the middle. Half his body blasted away, his arm, completely severed, and nearly his neck as well had it not been for the slight amount of flesh and metal still on his body, yet he wasn't undamaged.

Lifeless eyes stared back at her, his tongue still out as if his expression were able to morph into some level of surprise that he could feel within his madness. Yes, it was as if the beast were somehow carved out of stone, as his body lay shrill unmoving, and his last expression upon his face.

Yet, Saber stood there, triumphant, her visored eyes looking upon her decimated opponent, just as she intended. Yes, truly, Berserker was a worthy foe, but he could never hope to match up against her blade, she was sure of it.

That was the scene both Rin and Illya came across as they walked up to the newly made clearing. Both had shock evident on their faces, none having thought such destruction was possible, especially from such a servant.

That's when it happened, Hercules's body started to twitch, at first it was subtle, just the slight moving of his fingers, as his body began to mend itself back together. 'A rejuvenating Noble Phantasm!' Saber realized with wide eyes, not having been capable of predicting such an ability.

The Beast rose back in an instant, ready for another battle. Sadly, saber didn't know if she would be able to still take him on, she had used a great amount of her mana on that one attack, an attack she was sure would defeat her opponent. But now it seemed she wasn't so sure. Nevertheless, she raised her sword, not letting herself fall.

"RAAHHHH!" Berserker roared, charging at Saber with all his might, his body seemingly restored, as he raised his fist high into the air. Saber did the same with her sword, prepared to meet him in a mighty clash, one she wasn't sure she would win. That was, until, a voice stopped him…

"Berserker stop!" Illya commanded, causing the mad servant to stop in his movements just inches apart. All of them looked towards the white-haired girl, surprised that she no longer wanted to continue this battle, except Saber, whose eyes remained on the giant servant.

Illya looked on, observing the situation for what it was… 'Excalibur Morgan?' while she didn't know the context of the last word she used, that had been the name the saber class servant had called out, and there was only one person who could hold such a sword, despite her supposed appearance. And to think the famed king was capable of such destruction, she had even taken out six of the berserker's lives with that one attack! And there was still that pesky Archer she had to deal with,

No matter, she was sure her Hercules could defeat them in time, but that was something she currently didn't have. Having to face two servants powerful so early in this war would be a nuisance. She would have to leave, but not before she addressed the one person she had come out for tonight…

"Saber!" a voice shouted, rushing to the scene. They all recognized him to be Shirou, Saber's master, as the darkened girl felt the familiar strengthening of her mana at his even closer proximity. But, given the fact she had expelled so much of the boy's already, to put it simply it was evident he had seen better days.

Sweat poured down his forehead in large doses, almost as if they were streams running back into the ocean. His clothing was torn in some areas, as mud and dirt caked his garments as well as his skin, emphasizing that he had struggled to get here.

He could barely stand, his knees were buckling, and it was obvious from his harsh breaths that he could barely go on any longer. But even still he persisted, as he still pushed forward to get to his servant, wanting to help her in her battle, "Saber! Are… are you okay?" he asked, as his servant looked surprised to see him even move, no doubt from the strain of her stealing most of his Mana.

"Oh? I don't think it's her you have to worry about, Onii-chan," Illya interrupted, as she gained his attention.

"What… what do you mean…?" The red-haired boy asked, trying his hardest to not collapse to the ground.

Illya smirked, "Well, Onii-chan… I'm sure there will be a time when you and that saber of yours are alone, and that will be my perfect time to strike," she told him with a smile. "You should revel in the time you have left…" as she then looked to her servant, snapping her fingers. "Berserker, we are leaving," she spoke, having put some level of fear within her older 'brother' she had done what she needed to. And she couldn't risk Heracles losing any more lives, at least not at this point.

Rin stepped forward, prepared to block, her, "Hey, don't think I'm going to let you get away so easily," she spoke.

As the Einzbern slightly looked towards her, barely giving her any mind, "Oh? And what makes you think you can stop me? That Archer-class servant of yours? Onii-chan, who is barely even capable of walking? You, who wasn't even able to match me in the forest? Or is it that Saber class servant? Who I'm sure won't even be able to do another one of those blasts of hers," she told her, listing off the situation they were in. Rin realized the same thing, as things were now she wasn't sure how things would turn out.

And, judging by Saber's appearance, although she appeared to be no worse for wear, only having a few chips and scratches upon her armor, there was a faint trickle of sweat running down her face. And for the woman who seemed to show no emotion whatsoever, that was as if she were put on one knee in the face of her exhaustion.

"Nonetheless, I'm leaving, and you're not going to stop me," Illya told her, as Rin did so, as they were now none of them could afford such a costly fight, and it would be better for the both of them to continue this when they had the better opportunity to do so. This was a battle royale after all, and there would be times to attack them when the other's defenses were low.

As Illyasviel left all their eyes were on her, and once she departed Berserker did as well, but not before the beast huffed in Saber's direction. A warning, saying that he would be sure to get his revenge.

All was calm in the destroyed cemetery, that was, until, Shirou made his voice known. "Sa…Saber!" he said, rushing towards his servant, before he collapsed to the ground.

"Shirou!" Rin shouted, rushing towards the boy, as he lay on the ground, his consciousness fading. All the while, Saber stood there, not bothering to glance at him, as she looked off in the distance.

Where Illya had taken her leave, for some reason, she could feel as if her battle was not the only one taking place that night.

(With Naruto)

"I guess it's your point…" he resigned himself to his fate.

A satisfied medusa landed on the ground and walked towards him briskly. A beautiful smile across her face at the sight of her captive within her grasp. "No, it looks like it's my win," she corrected, arrogance and enjoyment clear across her face. As she walked around him, encircling him like a snake would her prey. "I'll admit, you were quite good," Rider stated, placing a hand to reach upon his chin.

Naruto grinned as well, looking down at the tall woman. "Hey, you weren't so bad yourself, purple-chan" he complimented, adding in her signature nickname.

Rider's eye seemed to twitch, but she soon was able to keep her usual composure. Before her lips formed a small smirk across her face. "Though, I do have to wonder… What exactly I should inquire upon," she said loud, taking her hand off his face as she once again encircled him. "Should I ask what makes you so special? Should I ask what exactly is a 'shinobi'? Should I query as to what the infuriating nickname is supposed to mean?" She mused too many options within her grasp.

Naruto did answer her on that last one, "Oh, I can tell you that last one for free!" he spoke up.

Which causes Rider to raise an eyebrow, "Oh, would you care to say why you are so insistent upon it?"

"Of course," Naruto smiled, before grinning a devilish smile ear to ear. And truly his next words were surely unexpected to the servant before him. "You're panties," he stated flatly.

That caused Rider to gain a blush upon her flawless features, "My–My what?!" she asked again.

Naruto's grin only grew, nodding to himself. "Yup, black lace with purple highlights, Purple-chan," He said as if it were the most simple thing imaginable. "I mean you kept showing them to me so much during our fight, I wondered if you were trying to do it on purpose," he stated, much to her embarrassment.

Rider blushed even more at the fact that she had been called out. Mostly because she hadn't really thought about it, this had always been her usual attire, something she was so used to wearing it would be a shame to go without. She supposed on some level her skirt would be considered short to many, but she had never expected to be flashing Naruto every single time she had tried to land a kick on him.

He was a ninja, and ninja didn't fight fair, and while he wouldn't say he was as perverted as his old master. Or even as much as his first sensei, Kakashi. But he did have a healthy appreciation for the female appearance, not that he would ever do anything with it, given he was still very much loyal to his late wife.

But if he could use the more perverted natures of some people to get the upper hand in a fight he would, he was the inventor of the Sexy-Jutsu, after all. Something he used to even lay a devastating blow on a goddess.

His next comment only added salt to her wounds, "And these chains…" he said, motioning to his bindings. "I never expected you to be so kinky," he teased, as the woman grew even further red.

"I-I… Y-you… Grrrr…" she growled. "I should just kill you now," Rider said, fully embarrassed with herself.

The teasing glint in her eyes only grew, "Ah, ah, ah, don't you remember, you still have to take me to this mysterious master of yours," he reminded, at that, Rider gained a small frown, remembering that dreadful boy.

But Naruto was oblivious to such, as his smile grew even wider, "Although, unfortunately…" he gained an unreadable expression. Unknown to Rider, one of Naruto's clones he had placed nearby dispelled, this one he had specifically designated to gather a large amount of senjutsu chakra. As a familiar orange pigmentation reached around his eyes, "... I'm not going to allow myself to get captured so easily," he finished, using the large boost in strength that sage mode provided to burst Rider's chains into pieces.

It seemed the woman was too shocked to do something, not that she would be able to, as Naruto sped over to her before she could react. Restraining her arms, he placed a kunai right towards her neck.

"It's my win…" he spoke, his tone becoming icy.

And even as Rider tried to break free she found herself unable to, even her monstrous strength skill– albeit she was currently weakened at the moment– proved to be no match for the almost mystical power that was sage mode.

The woman looked down, ashamed. "... I yield." she sighed, she had seen what those blades were able to do to her chains, and given they were all an extension of herself, she had no doubt they would cut right through her.

Naruto nodded, giving a satisfied smile in return, as he let go of his hold on her, removing the kunai from her neck. "Alright, Purple-chan, this has been pretty fun all things considered, but I think I'll have to cut this short, the sun is about to rise soon." He told her, as she sent him a light glare at the nickname he had given her.

Before she recovered, "Yes, and it seems you and I both owe each other a question," she pointed out. And although their game had seemingly ended, they still had yet to divvy up the rewards.

"We do," Naruto smiled, "For another time, I have a feeling this little meeting you orchestrated won't be our last. I trust next time your reason for coming to me will be different, though," he spoke, his voice cheerful although there was an underlying tone. One that she fully understood, it said 'Don't try to attack me again, as next time I won't be so nice.'

As she gulped, she realized there was more to this mysterious man. But even still she answered, "I won't." Her mission had failed, utterly in fact. It was strange, as earlier that night the thought hadn't even crossed her mind. But the fact had proven true, as with this new power boost Naruto seemed to have received it as if he were now put on a completely different playing field. One that she would not be able to match until she proved to find a suitable master.

Naruto nodded, giving her a mock salute as he disappeared into a flurry of leaves. But not before adding, "See you later, Purple-chan!"

And with that he was gone, leaving a frustrated and embarrassed Medusa in his wake. Her mission had been uncompleted. But at least this night hadn't been a total failure, as Naruto Uzumaki certainly proved to be an interesting individual.

With that thought came another one, something that gave the Rider-class servant a feeling of absolute dread. Namely, the fate of her true master, and what would come of her when she reported to that pest of a boy.

But soon that feeling was washed out by a new level of ease, as she thought about the person she had met today and the level of power he had shown her.

'Naruto Uzumaki, you certainly are interesting,' she mused to herself, licking her lips. Before a slight blush upon her beautiful face resided, namely in remembrance of his comments. Many of them she suspected were only said to get the best of her.

But he did guess correctly, or more accurately he was right about her current undergarments.

Maybe she should consider changing them into something less risque… or at least consider throwing shorts on to cover herself more often.

Elsewhere.

"So that's what happened, I honestly can't say there was anything I could have done," Sanson spoke, voicing to a person sitting atop a strange-looking throne.

Her appearance was entirely cloaked in shadow, leaving none of her features to be seen. "I see, well I guess it can't be helped…" she spoke, in her tone there was neither surprise nor emotion. There was just nothing as her voice could be heard, yet it was enticing all the same, almost compelling them to do her bidding. They could only imagine how her voice would shift should she prove disappointed, safe to say he didn't want to evoke such a scenario.

And he could tell that she looked off in thought, completely assessing the situation. "Naruto Uzumaki, hmmm… this should prove to be interesting."

"But even still, Naruto Uzumaki is someone we cannot allow to be alive," another voice spoke, it was a male. As he stepped out of the shadows, revealing himself to the world.

He appeared to be a very pale-skinned male with green eyes, dark and red clothing, and snowy unkempt hair. As he also wore a set of gold armor, with ornate earrings that were so perfect it was as if they were built by the gods themselves. He carried around a strange weapon, almost like a lance, with a strange circular guard that almost resembled a sundial in nature.

The shadowy female looked at him, observing the male for all he was worth. "Perhaps you are right, hero of charity, but what do you suggest?" She inquired.

The white-haired male answered her, "With your permission, I would like to take several other servants to face him, as his a person we can not allow to take root as our plans commence," he explained.

The woman knew that the man did have a point, as she waved her hands towards him, motioning for him to go off, "Very well, take whoever you would like, it is clear that we have built up more than enough servants for such a cause," she spoke.

As Karna nodded, leaving to go gather his force.

All the while the woman watched him, curious to see who would win a battle between the son of the son god, and Hero from the elemental Nations. Only time would tell, but it seemed her earlier statement was correct on the matter,

Indeed… this would prove to be rather interesting.

(AN: this takes place during the last chapter, between the ramen scene and bedtime scene near the ending)

Omake: Naruto's Bathtime Dismay.

"Alright, now that you two are good and fed, it's bath time for the two of you," Naruto clapped his hands together. They were in the bathroom of his upper apartment, him sitting along the toilet as if it were a seat.

The two girls were at his side, and from what he would later find out was a common occurrence; Jack was utterly confused. "Bath…time?" The white-haired girl tilted her beard utterly confused. As if she hadn't ever heard of the concept before, and in all actuality, she probably hadn't.

Luckily, Kiyohime seemed to be more than willing to explain it to her, "Bathtime, a time in which children are encouraged to immerse themselves in water and soap to clean themselves and to smell good," the girl spoke, actually showing some of her near-royal heritage as she did so.

"Thank you, Kiyohime," Naruto told her, happy that the girl was willing to lend a hand in teaching the younger girl. But the smirk across Kiyo's face put him slightly on edge, especially with the next words she spoke.

"Ufufu… Of course, that could be what Papa wants you to think, but we both know he really just wants to see us naked," the young Kiyohime finished, much to his frustration.

Naruto merely palmed his face, already seeing this as going to be somewhat of a usual occurrence. "No, Kiyo, that's not it, I just think you two stink," he told them honestly. They had been running around for who knows how long with no means of personal hygiene. Honestly, with everything that had happened, he had wanted to get this underway, especially after meeting Kiyo and her being nearly attached to him all night. Jack being here was just a bonus, as he could kill two birds.

"We… stink?" Jack frowned, she didn't like to stink. That sounded bad, and her Daddy sounded like he didn't like it. She didn't want to make her Daddy unhappy.

Kiyohime was far more hysterical at his comment, "What? Papa! We don't stink! We just…!" She took a moment, actually noticing the smell around her. Her smell, had it really been that long since she had had a decent washing? She didn't recall having one since she had been summoned and given she had been running around and battling nearly since.

She paled, instantly taking off her clothes as she hopped into the nearby bathtub, turning in the faucet. She began her bath as water poured out.

Naruto only looked at her with idle humor, not paying attention to Kiyo as she entered the bath. It wasn't like it was something he hadn't seen before. He had two children and had given them baths many times.

Jack was far more hesitant, but, as she grasped onto the dark cloak on her shoulders, it with with great surprise that Naruto saw what was beneath.

"Oh, my—- Jack what the heck are you wearing!" Naruto nearly yelled in surprise. The girl looked like a deer and headlight, she didn't know what she had done wrong. But to say Naruto was appalled was an understatement, as what lay beneath Jack's oversized and tattered cloak was something downright illegal.

She wore, what Naruto could only describe, as something he had only ever seen on some of the more infamous kunoichi who specialized in seduction. Well, that, and what he would imagine to be similar to some of the clothing within Anko Mitarashi's closet.

It was a dark, skintight, vest-like cop top that only barely seemed to cover her chest, leaving her entire midsection exposed. She wore bandages along both her arms, as well as a long back glove along her left hand. Showing off the strange purple circle-like markings along her shoulders. Additionally, she wore a set of jet-black stockings, and pink shoes too, which was too bad. No, the worst thing about the girl's outfit was that she wore a set of panties to cover her womanhood, only panties. A set of undergarments that did little to leave anything to the imagination, and judging by how little it covered, it was more akin to a thong than anything.

Even Hinata didn't dare wear such scandalous clothing except on a few short occasions!

Honestly, the only thing he approved up with her attire was the girl's combat sheathes, which were almost like shinobi kunai pouches. But that was beside the point, he was really glad he had gotten Jack some new clothing as well, for both of their sakes. Who knows what could have happened had someone else found the girl, how they might have taken advantage of her?

He was too engrossed within his angered thoughts that he only barely noticed Kiyohime call out to him, "Oh, Papa~!" The dragon-like girl called out, drawing his attention from the stitched servant in front of him.

He was left to witness Kiyohime giving him a rather seductive pose, eying him with a look that would look far more sexy had it been one a far older girl.

"Does my looks happen to… Ex-cite-you~" she trailed. The young girl also seemed to be pushing her non-existent breasts together.

Naruto sighed, instantly flicking the girl on her forehead. "Ow~!" She whinned. He could only deal with one child's problems at a time.

Unfortunately, Jack seemed to take notice of this as well. "Excite… Daddy?" mimicking her fellow servant; as she too pressed her nonexistent breasts together, even through her back vest.

"Jack, no!" Naruto nearly shrieked, palming his face… this was going to be a long night.

End chapter.

An: Just a little scene I thought of including the last chapter, nothing to really make of it.

ShirouSalter- I've been thinking a lot about how i wanted the fight with Hercules to go. Should i keep it like canon? Should I change things up? Well, After finding out more about Salter's personality, both in FGO and SN, I can say I don't think things would play out the same. For starters, Saber and Salter are very different, not just in appearance. For example, Saber LITTERALLY nerfs herself to keep up with faulty masters, its stated numerous times that she does this especially with Shirou. She has to, after all, her mana consumption is usually far too high for any third-rate magus to handle without her just straight up killing them.

But Salter is different, and I don't see her being just as kind. Simply, if she kills her master, so what? she can get a new one, it just means they weren't worthy of her time. Now, that doesn't mean she's heartless, it just means she just puts her goals at a greater importance than the life of one simple master.

I hope to do more justice with her, as right now i'm trying to spark a mix between her Fgo and F/sn counterparts, but of course she's more like herself when she was connected to dark sakura, so she's far more ruthless, as seen with her fight with Berserker.

Naruto is also gaining more information on just what exactly is happening in the city he lives in, he obviously wasn't here for the last one.

He's also geting up close and personal with Rider, although their fight was really a show of pure skill than just power. As given how abhorred of a master she has it would be an absolute curb-stomp if it were. I mean No-blade-works Shirou was able to take her on, even if she pretty much did win.

Anyways, let me know how you guys thought of this chapter, I know this story has been doing AMAZINGLY well when it comes to follows. as always...

Please leave me lots and lots of NICE reviews.
