"Projection, those you've seen me use that. I can remake Noble Phantasms of a certain level that I've seen and understand. I typically stick to swords and a bow. I can teleport short distances, though it isn't actual teleportation... and more along the lines of me running to the spot I want to be, and then cutting out the step of running there from cause and effect."
Chloe was explaining her abilities to Naruto, since he was her Master in this Grail War, it would be important for him to understand her abilities intimately so that he could make his plans around them. It wasn't like she needed to hide her identity from other servants, since she had no historical weakness that they could take advantage of.
She wasn't killed by cheese in the head by Mebd.
She didn't lose a race by being distracted by a Golden Apple like Atalante.
She wasn't killed by poison like Heracles.
She wasn't cursed when eating dog meat like Chuculain.
She had no legend to renact a weakness from, and thus her identity being exposed meant absolutely nothing to her. She didn't have a conceptual weakness that caused her to instantly be killed, or weakened in battle.
"Huh, I can use Projection too, but I normally use it to do stuff like this-" Naruto stated as he created a clone of himself by copying his body, and projecting a copy of himself next to his main body. Chloe watched with some fascination as he controlled both himself and the puppet body, that was a perfect replication of himself down to the very last hair. His clone could also move, and she could sense a large amount of mana in the clone, making it hard to tell if it was real or not. "-It can last for as long as I need to, as long as I can concentrate on it. I control it's actions though." Naruto moved his arm, and then he made the clone move the opposite arm, and they high fived each other.
The clone vanished moments later though.
"Useful skill." Chloe stated as Naruto placed his hand on his chin, before he pulled it up his face, and she watched as his face changed to be a perfect clone of her own face. Then, Naruto changed his clothes to match her clothes, before finally she watched as his body shrank to match her body. She watched as he used Shapeshifting magic to take on her form, and she clapped her hands as she walked around the image of her own body. "... but your Command Spells are showing." Chloe knocked some points off for that.
He looked at his hand, before his Shapeshifting ended.
"... Hmmmm... I did shapeshift them though, I guess I can't make them vanish with magic... Well, guess that just means I have some room to grow." Naruto continued to walk with Chloe through the mall. They walked into a fashion store, and Chloe watched as Naruto reached into his pocket, and pulled an eyeball out of it. It was small, no larger than the eye of a large toad. Naruto blew on it, before it vanished as if it had never been there, and he placed it near the door. "Okay, next stop."
"Not without doing a little shopping we aren't."
-30 Minutes Later-
"So... why place an eyeball in the store?" Chloe asked as she showed off the current outfit she was trying on.
For a girl with the bare minimum of curves on her body, she really liked to go for the sexy look when it came to outfits. She hadn't picked a single outfit so far that did not accentuate some part of her body in a seductive light.
"Can't you just use Projection to make clothes?"
"Projection fades away after a few minutes if I'm not paying attention." Chloe mentioned to him. There was silence, and she twirled around to show him her body in the clothes she was wearing. She didn't say it out loud, but she looked to him with eyes pleading for an opinion.
"You look good... and the fact is that a Servants can only do battle at night. Masters and Servants will want to explore, look for good places to set up barriers, and find advantages during the day. Servant clothes stand out though right?" Naruto mentioned, since it would be pretty obvious something was wrong if a girl dressed like Chloe went around town. He could imagine a knight wearing armor would attract a lot of attention too. "Clothes stores are one of those things a good Master will take their servant to so they blend in."
"A better Master just keeps their servant in Spirit Form though." Chloe pointed out.
"The best Master tries to develop a bond with their Servant, bonding with a Servant makes them less likely to want to betray you and transfer your Command Spells to a new master." Naruto finished off the argument. Chloe was silent, but she nodded in agreement and conceeded his point. She went back into the changing room, before she came out in regular girl's clothes.
Cute, not sexy girl's clothes.
-Later On-
"That is every clothes store in Fuyuki... and next stop, the Tohsaka house." Naruto stated as he started to walk, they were in the residential area now, so why not sneak towards the Tohsaka residence. "Then the Matou, and then the Einzburn castle."
"The Einzburns don't live in that old castle, instead they just live in a normal house." Chloe pointed out, since there was no reason to stop and visit that old castle. "Mom married Dad in this timeline, gave birth to me, and then some time later adopted Shirou. Dad travels the world, and Mom keeps 2 servants in the house for protection." Chloe explained, since she saw no reason not to share that either. It would save them a trip, not having to go and visit a useless old castle that nobody lived in.
Naruto raised an eyebrow, before it clicked with him.
She called herself Chloe, but she was actually Illya von Einzburn, just from a different timeline. She knew about the household that she came from.
"Changes of Illya being a Master?" Naruto asked her.
"100%, I've got exceedingly amazing magical circuits, large amounts of mana, and a high aptitude as a master. The Holy grail picked her for sure, but she hasn't summoned a Servant yet." Chloe was sure of it, so sure that she would stake her life on that bet. If there was a Fuyuki grail war, then Illya was a master in it. She doubted her mother would qualify for the role, or even want it.
They kept walking before they got to the Tohsaka household.
It had a strong barrier around it, one that would make it obvious if somebody broke through it. It was subtle, but good work to say the least. Naruto reached his hand out, until it was just inches in front of the barrier.
"Projection." Naruto created a clone of himself.
The clone didn't pass through the barrier, instead, the clone formed on the inside of the barrier without passing through it. Chloe watched as the clone walked towards the house with Naruto controlling it, before a hole opened in the barrier as the clone came back holding up a gem stone. He used the gem stone to open the hole in the barrier, and they were free to walk in like they owned the place. Naruto just took out another toad eye, turned it invisible, and then placed it on the brick wall surrounding the room. He had the clone go and put the barrier gem back as he and Chloe walked out of the barrier through the hole.
The barrier was restored fully, and the clone disappeared.
"So... the plan is to not let anyone get the grail, but what stops the other servants from killing each other?" Chloe asked as she walked with a skip in her step. She was powerful, but there were servants stronger than she was. She had an excellent master, and thus her abilities were at their peak, but she was not famous in the world, and thus she got no boost to her power from being famous.
Fighting to subdue was harder than fighting to kill.
"We can kill up to 5 servants, it's only the 6th servant dying that the grail starts to get manifested for real. So, we find the strongest servants, who will put up the greatest fight, and we kill them so that we can subdue the weaker ones later." Naruto didn't had the most detailed plan for how to stop everything perfectly, but if he took out the strongest servants, then there would be no way for the grail to manifest so long as he could subdue the servants that remained. "Worse comes to worse, we manifest the grail, you and I take it to some far off location, and then we destroy it." Naruto had that backup plan in mind too.
If the grail was going to manifest, he might as well just manifest it and destroy it somewhere the release of magical energy wouldn't hurt anyone.
"Plan A, kill problematic servants but don't let the Grail manifest. Plan B, win the war, but destroy the Grail." Chloe could see the value in both plans. Plan B would be way easier to accomplish for her, but Plan A would result in the least amount of deaths. Her Master was on par with a Servant physically at least, though his inability to use his Demi-Servant Noble Phantasm was a problem. Still, he didn't want to kill anyone, which was what made Plan A so much harder.
"Plan C, the enemy servants are too much to handle, so we go into hiding and never let them find us. If you die, I can resummon you, but if I die, you go to the Grail." Naruto would rather run away in shame than let the grail go into somebody else's hands. If the battle became impossible to win, the least he could do was remain alive and hidden so that nobody could manifest the grail.
"Any Plan D?" Chloe asked with a seductive purr to her voice.
She got cozy up against his arm
"Plan D... I guess Plan D is to find the Greater Grail and kill the person who the Lesser Grail is hidden inside of."
"That's my Mom, I'm not killing my Mom." Chloe pointed out.
"Which is why it's Plan D, for if all the other options are just... impossible. If we get to Plan D, it means we don't have another option. Still, I don't want to do it either." Naruto stated with a wince, his distaste for the plan just visible on every part of his body. Still, Chloe nodded her head with distaste of her own for the plan.
Kill her own Mom to save the world?
Not easy to do.
So she stayed silent as they got to the next location, which was the Matou residence, and it had no such barriers around it like the Tohsaka residence. Yet, the house gave off a creepy feeling, to the point that neither Naruto nor Chloe felt safe entering the area.
"You feel that?" Naruto asked.
"It feels disgusting... I feel like I'm being violated just looking at that house." Chloe actually covered her flat chest and crotch, as if something was going to come out of the house to rape her at any moment. She felt a tingle in every part of her body. The aura of the house was dangerous, sexual, but the kind of sexual that wasn't fun, but instead downright malicious and evil in nature.
Naruto didn't make a joke.
"Make a joke please."
"You violate ethics just by existing." Naruto stated a joke to make Chloe feel comfortable when she asked him to joke. His joke did calm her down, but she still didn't step onto the lawn of the house. Naruto didn't enter the house either. He had a bad feeling looking at the place. He felt as if that if he entered that house to place his Spying Toad Eyes, that something inside the house would refuse to let him leave, and it would become some kind of big fight. "I don't feel safe letting you go in there either." Naruto turned and started to walk away.
If he entered that house, his servant would be stolen from him, and Chloe would forever be violated by something inside until her death, and only then would be be able to resummon her.
Chloe stared at the house, before she joined her Master.
"The Matou family... is perhaps the family that produces the most twisted mages." Chloe rejoined Naruto, and she held his hand when she saw his fist was trembling. She could tell that something really bothered him, and bothered him badly. "Naruto?"
"I can sense Negative Emotions... and that house... it is an evil place." Naruto could sense such a dark and twisted lust around that house. It made him want to physically vomit to think that a young woman lived in that house. "... The likely master for the Matou family is Matou Sakura anyway... and whatever she summons, we'll just have to go in blind." Naruto would rather go blind than take such an obvious risk.
Chloe nodded in agreement.
"... I could always just carpet bomb the house and everyone inside of it. The grail will choose a new master."
"Also, you would release whatever is inside of that house to the outside world." Naruto wasn't against her idea were it not for the fact it could make everything worse for everyone. "Best case scenerio, the house is filled with rapists and you kill them all... worse case scenerio, the house is filled with crest worms and you scatter them to the winds, and they start infecting all the people in Fuyuki." Naruto would 100% support her bombing the place if it was the best case scenerio.
Chloe nodded her head, and glanced back at the home.
"You know about Crest Worms?"
"Yeah... disgusting things. I know a guy who studied them, and then applied the magic science behind them to make Snakes instead of Worms. Tried to achieve immortality with them." Naruto went into a story on it. "... I killed the guy with my Master, he was a danger to the world. Wanted to start wars for fun." Naruto had other reasons for what he had done.
Such as the guy tried to take over his friend's body with his disgusting Crest Snakes.
"Crest Snakes... so..."
"Like looked like long dicks, about 3 feet long, but dicks with teeth. Dick snakes with teeth." Naruto also killed the man who made them for unleashing that abomination on the world.
Chloe was imagining it.
"... Well... some girls do say size matters." Chloe joked to hide how uncomfortable she felt when she imagined what she was imagining. The thought of a dick with teeth that long was just... horrifying to imagine.
She got slapped on the back of the head.
"There isn't any girl who wants a 3 foot long dick, and I don't think any girl wants a dick with teeth in her, no matter the size." Naruto was blushing from her crude joke.
She rubbed the back of her head.
"Just so you know, I don't think size matters, as long as there aren't any teeth."
"Well good, so long as your vagina doesn't have teeth, I'm sure you'll make some dude a very happy guy." Naruto stated sarcastically.
Her jokes did help lighten the mood though.
