Chapter 17

Academy Hall

After hearing the name of her foe, Hinata draws out her Claymore Rebellion and prepares for a fight.

"Royal Ann, huh?" said Hinata as she tighten her grip "I don't have a name fight now, but I am more capable in fighting you, Cherry!"

Royal Ann smirks under her mask and charges at Hinata hastily for the kill.

"Commence PvP"

PvP active

"Let's see how much blood I can get from you!" exclaimed Royal Ann as she crosses her wakizshi to perform a cross-cut.

CLANG

Hinata blocks the 2 swords and flips over Royal Ann, then Hinata pulls out Ebony and fires, but only for the Royal Ann the dodge the bullets with a few back flips. Hinata frowns and activate her Byakugan in anger and make her aim more accurate as she pulled out Ivory after sheathing Rebellion back on her back.

To keep the Royal Ann in distance, Hinata keeps firing her pistols at her, but the Royal Ann is quick, dodging bullets as if they were nothing but leaves in the wind, and even deflecting them when any of the bullets got close to hitting her. The floor and walls are partially getting riddled by Hinata's bullets but none hit the Royal Ann.

Damn, how in Yami did she manage to get this fast? Thought Hinata keep firing until her opponent got dangerously close to her. She jumped back when the Royal Ann attempted to slash her, there she put away her guns and redrew Rebellion from her back.

"Fine, you want bloodshed, then I'll spill yours!" exclaimed Hinata as she charges at the Royal Ann, she allowed her opponent to make the next move, which was intended for her to activate her Witch Time.

Time slows down for Hinata, but strangely her opponent wasn't affected by the time slowing spell, it only makes it feel like the Royal Ann is at normal speed. How can she be unaffected by Witch Time

CLANG

Clang

the 2 Gamers clash blades within Witch Time, the sound of clock ticking echoes in the slow atmosphere, hued in purple with lighter purple shapes of clockwork and clock faces in the background. But to them, they are fighting at normal speed while in real time they are non assistance to the naked eye. The Royal Ann is catching up to Hinata's speed caused by the Witch Time, but how is the real question.

The Witch Time lasted for a full minute in real time, but it to them it felt like hours, the jumped away to catch their breath from built up fatigue and exhaustion. Both leer at each other, Hinata is still puzzled at this.

"How did you get this quick?" said Hinata

"Who said I was quick?" said the Royal Ann as she pulled out what appeared to be a stop-watch. "I just needed the right tools for the job."

Time-Stop

Description: A rare power-up item which slow down time for a 1 minute (RLT) but will feel like an hour in usage. Useful against a massive horde of enemies and can counter other time-altering techniques.

"A power-up?" said Hinata in shock to see the stop-watch in the Royal Ann's hand, said power watch suddenly crumbles into dust after it's use.

"That right! So if you think of pulling that time slowing trick on me, I'll pull out another Time-Stop item on you."said the Royal Ann before smirking at Hinata while pulling out another power-up which resembles a pair of oversized cherries with cute beady eyes. "And trust me, I've got plenty more under my sleeve."

Hinata frowns at this, doesn't know what the cherries will do and she has to prepare for the worst. The Royal Ann pulled down her mask and starts eating the big cherries completely until they are come, for a few seconds nothing happens until suddenly the Royal Ann started to multiply into 4 clones. This startled Hinata as she did not expect this, not even she has the skill to create physical clones similar to the infamous Shadow Clone Jutsu.

Double Cherry

Description: A power-up that allow the user to duplicate themselves into multiple copies. The number of clones varies on the ripeness of the power-up.

"Oh yeah, I sure got the best Cherry" said the Royal Ann with praise. It was dumb luck, but I need to be sure to check the cherries before collecting them.

Yami give me strength thought Hinata as she prepares for a hell of a fight against her opponent. And where are you, Naruto-kun?

Outside the academy, the remnants of Ombré surround the perimetre of the academy to form a barrier around the building so that Hinata and Royal Ann can fight in peace. Iruka feels uncomfortable doing this without Naruto's well being, but it's an order from Yami herself.

"They sure do put us in a difficult position, choosing between our new lord and our dark saviour" said Iruka while signing and keeping still on his position to channel his chakra. "I hope Darkborne-sama will understand."

With Naruto

"No, please" begged the last Censor Knight before he fell by Darkborne's blade, the sound of cutting horribly echoes in the dark air in the Forest of Death. The floor is littered with foolish Censor Knights and unfortunate Poketrainers, the aftermath of an ambush by the Censored Justice which backfired because they weren't expecting Darkborne to be there, but he did. Unfortunately Kizashi fled like a coward and left his men to die when his ambush attempt failed because Darkborne is there to hunt them down.

This pissed off Naruto though, once again Kizashi fled from his grasp, even when Mebuki practically offered her own husband to the Overlord.

"You may not know this, but this is NOT the first time you escaped me Kizashi" said Naruto after he wipped off bloody viscera from the saw cleaver's serrated teeth. The lifeforce from the fallen wisp around him like an eerie whirlwind and spirals toward the main jewel on the back of his gauntlet. "And soon, your soul will feed my spawning pits."

Yellow prays to the fallen Poketrainers who didn't escape fate, it saddens her to see her own perished by the cruel self-righteous bastards.

"I swear to Arceus, they will pay" said Yellow

"Your old teacher seems hesitant about the offer" said Naruto as he wipe the blood from his Saw Cleaver and sheathe it away. "Considering that he and his little commune has been living here for a while, in the most dangerous place in Konoha."

"Blue-senpai once paid a price for being arrogant, many times to be honest" said Yellow "But his most regret is provoking Kanto's new government when they prohibited pokemon training. Blaming pokemon battles for Team Rocket's crimes and promoting violence and animal cruelty. Tou-san and Kaa-san had to gather trainers from Kanto to Galar to start a revolution."

"Wow, had to be there to see the battle"

"According to Blue, it was one of the most devastating events in Pokemon History" said Yellow "Kaa-san and I had to leave Kanto and started a new life in Kumo, I thought we were save but then the Censored Justice reached Kumo and influenced the Lightning Daimyo and the Raikage. A-sama was a good man but he was a fool to listen to their lies."

"It wouldn't matter anyway" said Naruto "Once Blue agrees to the agreement, the many deaths of your fellow Poketrainers will not be in vain and help liberate the Pokemon regions from the CJ."

"Thank you" said Yellow with a smile.

Naruto nods at Yellow, but then he turned away and frowned at how convenient this plot from the Censored Justice is. He may have glimpse from it from his encounter with Kizashi at the Toxic Swamp, but how he got the information tonight is rather bizarre.

(Flashback)

WARNING: INTRUDER UNAUTHORIZED PERSONAL IN THE DARK TOWER!

Naruto immediately arrived at the tower through a nearby waypoint gate and arrived at the throne room. He draws out his Saw Cleaver and raise his gauntlet to command his minions to search for the intruder. Gnarl slowly paces towards his master and collapses to grovel at his feet.

"My Lord, this is terrible news. The Dark Tower has been breached and the intruder is nowhere to be seen."

"How did this happen?" said Naruto

"With utmost difficulty, your security is impressive Darkborne-sama"

Naruto suddenly turns to confront the intruder, the minions guards along with the Demon Sisters surround the intruder, who is cloaked in a shroud, with the only feature identifying her is her voice. She lowers down and held up her hand in a surrender.

"Forgive me for breaking and entering, but due to Konoha has many eyes and ears around, this place is safe to talk and be honest with each other." said the Intruder "I would introduce myself, but I have a feeling you know who I am, we've met under different circumstances...as the wife of Kizashi and Sakura's mother."

"Mebuki" Naruto muttered the name of his intruder.

Naruto frowns the intruder and pull down the hood to reveal the face of Mebuki Haruno, formerly known as the Cherry Blade. Seeing her suddenly brought back terrible memories that he tries to hard to forget, but again torments him just like the others in Konoha.

"Hello, Naruto" said Mebuki

"You dare show your face to me" said Naruto

"I see that you're still sour around me." said Mebuki

"You'd be sour when you have nearly all of Konoha as your enemy" said Naruto "And what's worse than having enemies is losing friends."

"You're refering to my daughter, correct?" said Mebuki

"What do YOU think?" exclaimed Naruto angrily when Sakura was mentioned. "I do not want to think about my pre-gamer life, but you had to me here."

"I'm sorry for making you remember the bad times when Sakura ended her friendship with you. But please do not blame her for she is in the same situation as I am." said Mebuki "After a decade under Kizashi's influence, my mind became a prison of my own body thanks to the seal created for me as a leash."

Mebuki bend over to show Naruto a tattoo-like mark on the back of her left shoulder, resembling a black rectangle, a mark Naruto remembered too well.

"It looks like that accursed Censor Trap I use to have...or will have in this timeline" said Naruto "although it's similar, but it's not the same."

"That's right, this seal's purpose sends in subliminal messages repeatedly transmitting into my brain, telling me to be a loyal wife and obey his commands. A personal slave for his own desire, he should've banished me in another dimension but instead he listened to his own cock instead of his brain, he always admired and lusted for me, even when my reputation as the Cherry Blade was well fears across the Land of Fire."

"I am fully aware of Kizashi's sick desires on why he didn't banish you like Fugaku banished my own mother." said Naruto with annoyance, the urge of drawing his weapon on Mebuki is tempting, because he bear no fond memories involving this woman, especially during his pre-gamer life. "Now state your business now or so help me I'll turn Kizashi into a widower and Sakura mother-less!"

"I understand your aggression, and believe me I deeply regret it" said Mebuki hold out her hands high so that Naruto would not attack out of spite. "I came here with a peace offering, to prove my loyalty."

"What offering?" said Naruto, though his hand caresses the hilt of his saw cleaver, so eager to strike Mebuki down on the spot.

"Kizashi has located the a refuge of Poketrainers within the Forest of Death, their leader known as Blue is well known in the Pokemon Regions." said Mebuki "Kizashi usually stays in his study and uses his Magic Lantern Jutsu for his gathered meeting with his fellow members of the Censored Justice, so not to arouse my suspicious, but instead allowed me to eavesdrop on his meetings."

"And you thought I might just this information to my advantage?" said Naruto

"You need allies and an army, Darkborne" said Mebuki "Poketrainers are skilled with their Pokemon, and I did notice that you have one as a guest in your tower."

Mebuki noticed Yugito coming down the stairs, the alarm disturbed her sleep and caused her to panic and had to hide, but when the alarm is off she hesitantly went down to see if Naruto apprehended the intruders.

"Everything is alright, Yugito" said Naruto a reassured tone. "You go back to sleep"

"I'm wide awake now" said Yugito as she stands next to Naruto. "What's going on?"

"This "traitor" here has informed me that there is a refuge of Poketrainers within the Forest of Death." said Naruto "The leader of the refuge is named Blue."

Yugito widen her eyes at the mention of her old mentor's Gamer name.

"Blue-senpai is in Konoha?" said Yugito

"So I've heard" said Mebuki before turning to Naruto "Look, whatever happened between us in the past is all in the past, I was under the watchful eye of Kizashi. But I will accept any form of punishment, but please don't be hard on Sakura."

"Sakura's already had it hard with she's got parents like you and Kizashi, " exclaimed Naruto with his arms crossed, he didn't want to get his pre-gamer life involved but seeing Mebuki before him brought back painful memories.

"She and I were friends, played together when we were younger, and then you took her away and the next day she wanted nothing to do with me, saying that she cared only for her precious Sasuke-kun, and that only brought all that unintented hatred onto her from the very beginning."

"If you wanted to hate someone, hate Kizashi"

"I already do" said Naruto, though his patience is slowly reaching its end "Look, I'm fully aware that Sakura is not at her right mind but you just sat there and allow it to happen."

"I was..."

"I don't want to hear any more of it!" exclaimed Naruto, his patience has finally ended. The Overlord's wrath causes the interior of the tower to rumble from a terrifying quake which brought everyone to their knees. "Consider yourself lucky that I'll put your peace offering under consideration, and I will allow you to leave my tower alive."

Mebuki suddenly sighed at this and lower her head as she bows to Naruto.

"But do not think this will be enough for redemption, now leave."

"Hai, Darkborne-sama" said Mebuki bowing a to Naruto a bit more before leaving post haste.

Naruto sighed at this, he tries to calm down by massaging his temples.

Yami-damnit thought Naruto as the anger in him slowly vents away, allowing Juubi's chakra to sooth and calm him down. That was frustrating, to face that woman again...but under different circumstances.

"You think she's telling the truth?" asked Juubi

I know she is, Kizashi's memories back when we tried to curse him back in the Toxic Swamp confirms his intentions. But I never expect it to happen so soon." thought Naruto before he turns to Yugito, noticing her look of concern and worry. Then again, Mebuki makes another point, I need allies, and my other allies will not be here until later due to our time-travel.

"But do you think she can be trusted?" said Juubi

Not at first, thought Naruto If she wanted to get on my good side, she has to do more than just barter information to me about the CJ's plans, a LOT more. And that goes the same for Sakura, if she wants to be my friend again.

"Yellow, are you ready to see your Senpai?" said Naruto

This got Yugito's attention and her face brightens.

"Do you believe her?" said Yugito asking about Mebuki's information.

"It doesn't matter if I do believe her, all that matters is if we see for ourselves" said Naruto "Plus, it could be useful for you to train your pokemon."

"But what about Hinata?" said Yugito.

Shit, I forgot about Hinata Naruto mentally cursed. He opens up his menu box and starts recording himself as a video message for Hinata.

Message Recording

Hinata, sorry for the delay but I've been given a quest and I wont be back until tomorrow morning. If you want, you can still use the academy to train on your own, I notified Iruka of my absence and he's fine with you training solo if you wanted.

Shirou will be assisting me with this quest along with the Daemon Sisters, so the Dark Tower will not be receiving any calls of assistance, so try and stay out of trouble.

Ja ne

"I'm sure she'll be fine for a night without training" said Naruto before turning to Yugito "Go get ready, Yellow"

"Hai" said Yugito as she immediately heads up to her room, and about 20 minutes later she came down in her Poketrainer Yellow Gear and her pokeballs strapped on her belt.

"Right, let's go to the forest of death" said Naruto as he heads for the tower's portal and Yugito follows him.

Forest of Death: PokeTrainer Refuge Camp

Naruto and Yugito are now at the forest of death, but searching for the PokeTrainers is no easy task for they hid themselves very well luckily Yugito knows how to track, or rather track one particular trainer, an icon of a Blue "B" is sighted on the mini-map of her hub, she had that there so that she would one day reunite with her mentor and guardian Blue after the years apart.

"Senpai" said Yugito softly as Blue's icon is on sight of her mini-map.

"Are we close?" said Naruto

"Hai" said Yugito "In fact, they know we're here"

And before Naruto could react, he and Yugito got caught in thick vines and lifted up in the air, Naruto didn't react so not to make things complicated, and he can get out of the bind if he wanted. Suddenly the flora in the forest starts to move and rise from the ground, revealing large reptilian beasts with large plants grown on their backs.

#003 Venusaur

Seed Pokemon

Type: Grass/Poison

Description: The plant blooms when it is absorbing solar energy. It stays on the move to seek sunlight.

#389 Torterra

Continent Pokemon

Type: Grass/Ground

Description: Groups of this Pokémon migrating in search of water have been mistaken for "moving forests."

"Fascinating beasts" said Naruto as he observes the huge grass type pokemon while bonded by one of their vines.

"Final Forms of starters" said Yellow who is staying calm since the vines are only tight enough to hold her and not harm her. "They use to be cute when they were bulbasaur and turtwig."

The Venusaurs and Torterra frowned at Yellow and caused the vines to tighten, Naruto grunts and struggles to breathe.

"Ugh, I think they heard you, Yellow" said Naruto

"Release them now!" an unknown voice suddenly commands the pokemon to let Naruto and Yugito go. Loosened the Overlord and Yellow drops and lands on their feet, Naruto took a deep breath and stretches himself after the binding given by the mighty grass types. Exiting through the foliage are a group of people in hats and shirts and shorts, but all bear the same symbol like a tribe insignia, Yugito knows the symbol well to be a pokeball, representing the Pokemon regions.

However, the one who spoke out is a young man with spiky brown hair and brown eyes wears a dark blue jacket, black pants and a yellow and green yin-yang medallion.

"Yugito, I heard from Kumo that you the CJ caught you" said the man in blue as he approach Yugito, as he got close he pulls her into a hug. "Praise Arceus that you're here."

Yugito smiled as she returned the hug.

"It's good to see you again, Blue-senpai" said Yugito

Yugito and the man named Blue broke out from their embrace and he turns to Naruto.

"seeing my former protege here, I can safely suspect that you're not a threat anymore" said the man "My name is Professor Gary Oak, specialized in Poke-Biology and formally known as Poketrainer Blue."

"Darkborne" said Naruto with a simple bow.

PokeTrainer Camp

Blue allowed Naruto and Yugito pass through the giant grass type pokemons lurking in the parameter. Naruto looks around to see makeshift tents made of sticks and thatch, but small as they look, a Gamer should know that the interior appears big than it should be than.

The Poketrainers within the area are busy at work, gather provisions and setting up the accommodations, with or without their pokemons' assistance. But it seems the pokemon aren't having any problem helping their human partners, especially when the heavy lifting is been done by the humanoid fighting-type pokemon.

"I got to say that it's good to see you, safe and sound too" said Blue

"I had help and gained new friends" said Yugito as she returned the hug. "Darkborne-sama here disposed of the CJ pursuers when I escaped Kumo."

Blue turns to Naruto and offer his hand in friendship.

"And for that, I must thank you for assisting my protege" said Blue with his hand out.

"It was no problem" said Naruto as he accept Blue's hand and shakes it with his gauntlet clad hand.

Blue noticed the gauntlet and widen his eyes at it as he suddenly realised who Naruto is.

"So, Yami has decided to crown another Overlord" said Blue "By Arceus, never have I had the pleasure to meet one in person, even my Grandfather had that pleasure for meeting the previous Overlord during his travels as a Poketrainer."

"Well I'm flattered that someone outside of Konoha knows who I am" said Naruto "Although I do not appreciate your warm welcome when you ordered these beasts to bind me in vines."

"I apologies, but I can't be too careful when it comes with strangers" said Blue "The Venusaur and Tortera are our camp's form of defence."

"I see" said Naruto "Although fools would dare tread in the forest of death, with the deadly fauna lurking in the trees and bushes."

"Which is why we chose this place as refuge, this closed training ground has a reputation in which we took advantage of."

"Clever" said Naruto "But you luck is about to run out I'm afraid."

"What do you mean?" said Blue

"Is there a place where we can talk in private?" said Naruto

"My tent, this way" said Blue as he leads Naruto and Yugito to his tent.

Blue's Tent

Blue invited Naruto and Yugito into his tent, though small on the outside, the interior is similar to a simple cottage, especially when some of his pokemon are out of their pokeballs. His Alakazam is meditating with its spoons in hand. A purple beast with large mouse-like ears and a long horn is wrestling with a sentient boulder, and a by a camp-fire is an orange skinned dragon-like beast with a flame tipped tail curled by the fire and peacefully sleeping.

"Hn, looks like my pokemon are doing fine during my patrol" said Blue

"Including these 2?" said Naruto looking at the 2 wrestling pokemon.

#034 Nidoking

Drill Pokemon

Type: Poison/Ground

Description: It uses its powerful tail in battle to smash, constrict, then break the prey's bones.

#076 Golem

Megaton Pokemon

Type: Rock/Ground

Description: Its boulder-like body is extremely hard. It can easily withstand dynamite blasts without damage.

"Hai, they're sparing buddies" said Blue paying no mind with his Nidoking and Golem. "So tell me, what's the problem?"

"Kizashi knows your here and is on his way as we speak" said Naruto

Blue widen his eyes at the mention of Kizashi's name and frowned.

"Kizashi, of all the self-righteous bastards I met in my journies, it has to be him." said Blue palming his face, trying to calm down. He then turns his attention to Naruto. "And you're sure? We hid ourselves well within the darkest parts of this closed up training ground."

"I'm very sure," said Naruto "When I had the displeasure of facing the man, I unintentionally peered through his mind. It was brief mind you, but his intentions were clear. Plus it connects to the source I was given."

"I see" said Blue as he frowned at this and starts to rub his left temple at this. "Damn it, and I was just getting comfortable. and Kizashi of all people"

"you know him?" said Naruto

"Who doesn't?" said Blue "It's because of him we Poketrainers are on the run, he formed that damn law against Pokemon battles, put the every region's elite 4, gym leaders and professors out of the job, mine included."

"You're a champion?" said Naruto

"No, that honour was given to my friend and Rival Red" said Blue as he turns to Yugito "Who happens to be the father of my protege here. No, I was a professor of Pallet Town's Pokemon Lab, my love for pokemon was inherited by my grandfather, the previous Professor Samuel Oak."

"Professor Oak was considered the "Charles Darwin" of Pokemon, whatever that means" said Yugito

Blue sighed and shook his head at Yugito.

"Once again, you fail to understand that reference" said Blue shaking his head in disappointment. "nevertheless, if Kizashi is come here, then we'll be ready."

"But where will you go?" said Yugito to her former mentor.

"I don't know, but once we're out of the Censored Justice's range, we'll set camp in a secluded area" said Blue

"I might be able to help you with the moving arrangements" said Naruto "You see, I am planning to build a city for Gamer fugitives running from the CJ and I thought that you and the rest of the Poketrainers would be happy to by the new residence theres."

"A city?" said Blue

Naruto as he perform hand signs swiftly and casts a genjutsu around the area, the tent interior suddenly changes into what appears to be a street of a tall dark Gothic city, but in high on view is the dark tower standing tall and proud.

"It's a working progress, but a group named the Remnants of Ombré have planned this the moment they arrived here." said Naruto "A city that honours their former home and suitable for yours truly. New Yharnem, the dark city of the Hunt. There you can be save from the CJ and be yourself as Gamers by fighting your own."

"Interesting, I have heard of metropolises likes this" said Blue as he looks around the scenery of the genjutsu. "And I thought the cities of Unova and Kalos were amazing."

Naruto suddenly cancelled his genjutu and they returned back into the tent.

"We just started the construction, but there are plenty of vacancies for you if you're interested" said Naruto

"Not only you've given my a warning but a permanent home also" said Blue crossing his arms as he took some thought on the offer. "It's tempting, but out of experience, offers like this doesn't come cheap. What's the catch?"

"Your loyalty and alliance, and your involvement in an upcoming war" said Naruto

"War?"

"Censored Justice has been in power for far too long, and has put Gamers in hiding ever since the last Overlord has been erased from history."

Erased by that accused unicorn who use to lead the Censored Justice in time thought Naruto as he remembered encountering the spirit of Sparkles in the Nethertower, spreading his disgusting Golden Plague all over the nethertower's insides. At least I had the pleasure of eradicating him, and avenging my predecessor.

"And was grateful for it by helping you level up via the Overlord's dream" said Juubi

Naruto mentally nods in agreement with the Juubi, meeting his grandfather in the form of the dream's caretaker was a surprise, and sad to see him in that state, forgotten by all but him. But Naruto will make sure that his memory will be resotred after he find and retrieve his armour and learn more about how he came to power, and he only managed to get the helm for now, the rest is out there, along with the chapters of the his forgotten past.

"So allow my to clarify, in return for a safe home for me and my fellow Poketrainers, all you ask is from is to swear our fielty to you and assist in your army?" said Blue rhetorically while he thinks about it.

But as Blue took time to think about it, his Alakazam suddenly alerted telepatically.

Master, the psychic scouts have informed me Alakazam said through telepathy. They sense a large group approaching the camp, and one of them is Kizashi

"Shit, they're here!" said Blue as he was cut out of thought and rushes out of his tent. NidoKing, Golem and Charizard rush out to assist him. "All trainers to battle stations, the enemy have found us!"

Naruto growlled angrily as he never expected Kizashi to arrive this soon, he draws out his Saw Cleaver and joins Blue for the incoming battle.

"Damn it all!" exclaimed Naruto "Yellow, gather all who aren't able to fight and help them escape.

"Hai" said Yugito as she makes haste to help the fugitives evacuate the camp.

(End of Flashback)

"So what now?" said Yugito "It seems that our quest is clearly a failure"

"It wasn't a quest," said Naruto

"Huh?" said Yugito

When Mebuki came to tell me about Kizashi's intentions, it was not declared as a quest." said Naruto "we came not as Gamers on Yami's behalf, we went because I want you to see your old teacher again, and me to get the chance of slaying that son of a bitch. Anyway it changes nothing for the time being, it's all up to Blue if he wants to take the offer or not."

Naruto then takes his leave, abandoning the now derelict camp of the poketrainer. Yugito is hesitant since there is a lot to bury in graves, but with the Censored Justice now knowing the camp's location, it's too risky in case more will come.

"May Arceus and the Legends guide you" Yugito said her final prayer and joins Naruto. "So what now?"

"Now we head home, get some rest and get back to my current quest" said Naruto "unless you want to join with Blue and the other Poketrainers."

Yugito shook her head at that suggestion.

"As much as I wanted to, it wouldn't be safe for me and Blue-sempai wouldn't live with himself if I joined him on his dangerous journey" said Yugito "He knows that I'm safe with you as your ally."

Naruto smiled at Yugito's answer, for he is starting to enjoy her company, even though it was only just short by a few weeks. Plus, Hinata would be happy to know that her new friend is staying with them. Speaking of which.

"I'll just see if Hinata is safe and sound" said Naruto as he opens up his status menu and check his party since Hinata is still active as a party member, but as he look at her status he noticed something strange about. Her HP and MP is decimated, chunk of it were taken off from the bars, but they are also being replenished and then slowly depleting. Naruto frowns at this and there is only one reason why Hinata's party status is acting up.

She's in a battle.

But fighting who?

With Hinata

Gunshots echo the now riddled halls of the academy, for right now Hinata is chasing the Royal Ann and her remaining copies created by the Copy Cherry power-up. The Royal Ann however is pulling out shurikens and starts tossing them at Hinata. But Hinata shots them out of the air, causing the flying metal stars to break into shrapnel and scatter all over the walls and floor instead.

"Get back here!" exclaimed Hinata "You wanted a fight so stop running and finish it!"

"I've got what I wanted, concider it a draw" said Royal Ann as she pulls out a pair of smoke bombs.

"Oh no, Gamers do not draw. it's win or lose!" said Hinata

"Well the way I see it, this match is mine then" said Royal Ann before slamming her smoke bombs on the ground and disappeared in plain sight. "All I wanted is answers, and to get them is by fighting you. And since you accepted out little spar, you helped me achieve my quest. So thank you, young Gamer. We'll meet again when you have a name of yourself"

"Get back here!" exclaimed Hinata angrily but her rage is in vain. Suddenly she her head feel strange and palms it. "Huh? What?"

The weird sensation in her brain is temporary, as if she is starting to forget something, but she has no idea what. Suddenly the sensation ends and she looks around, now confused at what's going on since the area around her is now badly damaged by bullet holes and debris.

"W-What?" said Hinata "What happened here?"

Darkborne Calling

"Huh?" said Hinata as she suddenly received a call from Naruto and answers it. "Hello?"

Hinata are you ok?

"Hai, why wouldn't I be?" said Hinata

Because I noticed your stats are acting weird and assumed that you were in a battle. I arrived at the academy only to find the Remnants of Ombré forming a barrier around it, please tell me you're not in the academy.

"Hai, I'm still in the academy" said Hinata now getting confused. "I don't understand, what is going on?"

With Naruto

"I would like to know too" said Naruto as he is now on the rooftops overseeing the academy, with him is a grovelling Iruka, whos head is hung in shame and eyes closed with fear of what Naruto is about to do. "The Remnants of Ombré has some explaining to do, just go home and i'll see you in the morning."

I'm still confused, but I'll go home since its late. Night

"Goodnight, Hinata-chan" said Naruto

Call ends

Naruto sighed with relief that Hinata is fine, he watches the Hyuuga girl sneak out of the Academy and head for home. He wait for Hinata to be out of sight before he lifts Iruka by the tuft of his shirt and leers at him directly. His blue eyes glows red with the Mangeykyo Sharingan, which Iruka suddenly shudders in pure terror, the last thing he wanted is to anger the Overlord and with good reason.

"Oh merciful Yami" Iruka whispered.

"You better have some good reason for trapping Hinata-chan, Iruka!" darkly said Naruto. "Or else you better pray Yami is merciful."

"Forgive me, my lord" said Iruka, "But I was just doing a quest."

"And what quest is it that would risk facing my wrath?" said Naruto

I'll show you" said Iruka "Please, let me show you and hope you understand."

Naruto's frown narrows at Iruka, but curious on why Iruka would place a barrier around the academy with Hinata inside. He releases the Head Remnant and drops him on the rooftops.

"Alright, show me" said Naruto offering a Iruka a chance.

Iruka opens up his menu and selects Quest, he has a few quests he's working on which is no surprise to Naruto.

"Here" said Iruka as he selects the quest and shows it to Naruto

Quest given by: Cherry Blade

Approved by: Yami

Naruto's eyes widen at this, then he look at Iruka with an unspoken question which was expected for the Head Remnant to answer.

"I was close to refusing the quest, but Yami-sama talked me into it" said Iruka with shame on his face. "To think I had to choose between the Dark Goddess who saved me and you, my Lord. But then I thought, Yami's plans could be beneficial for you too. To help Hinata grow strong, but never stop to think that you would approve with this."

"Not when Cherry Blade was the one who gave you the quest" said Naruto as he swiped the quest's message box away. "Personally entering the tower to meet me with intriguing info about Kizashi was no coincidence, she wanted me out the way...so that Sakura can fight Hinata."

"Sakura? said Iruka in shock by the news, "Sakura's a Gamer?"

"I reckon so" said Naruto "But she's also Kizashi's daughter, and we need to be careful."

Naruto turns his head to Iruka.

"Luckily the quest was approved by Yami, otherwise you'd be sending Hinata into mortal danger, jepoardizing MY quest along the way."

Iruka kneeled and lowered his head again, allowing the shame to flow within him.

"I will await your punishment, my lord" said Iruka

"That can wait" said Naruto as he leaves Iruka "We have better things to do"

Naruto merges into the shadows and left Iruka alone, the head Remnant sighs at this and starts contacting the other Remnants in the perimetre.

"Commence clean-up in the academy, I want it done before sun-up"

Hai

Iruka sighed and palms his face, facing the Overlord's wrath was indeed terrifying but denying the Dark Goddess is equally frighting also.

"No wonder Yami chose him as her champion, he even pars with my old master" said Iruka "And he's only at a decent level. Yami knows what pure nightmare he'll unleash when his wrath is at its maximum."

With Sakura

Sakura snuck back in her room, panting breathlessly as the fight against Hinata tired her up. But luckily it was well worth it, she's got the answers she wanted.

"So, did it help?"

Huh?" said Sakura as she turns to see her mother sitting on her bed. The pink haired girl smiled and nodded, and this put a relieved smile on Mebuki's face.

"H-Hai...and"

"Yes?" said Mebuki until Sakura begins to cry.

"How could I have do it?" Sakura sobbed while she cover her face in shame. "He was my best friend, sob"

"Oh, my dear" said Mebuki as she then pulled Sakura into a hug, Sakura continues her crying while her mother pats her daughter's back. "I am so sorry."

"How could Kizashi do this, I was happy. said Sakura welcoming the hug as it calms her down. "Why can't he just accept and be happy for me."

Mebuki frowned, not only at her "Husband" but at herself, for she is partially responsible for what happened to her own daughter.

"Kizashi is a fool, him and rest of the Censored Justice" said Mebuki, Sakura still in her arms. "But it doen't matter now, I have my daughter back. My Royal Ann, such a lovely name for my Gamer daughter."

Sakura blushed and hid her face in her mother's shoulder.

"Thought it would it fit with the cherry theme" said Sakura, though embarrased of the choice.

"Well hold that name proudly, Sakura" said Mebuki now releasig Sakura from the hug. "As I once hold pride in my old name."

"The real problem is Kizashi" said Sakura with a frown. "I thought Darkborne would've killed him by now."

"It was a sound opportunity for the both of us, Darkborne included." Mebuki said with a disappointed sigh. "but I forgot how cunning he is and very cautious."

"SO what now?" said Sakura

"For now, we act nothing has changed" said Mebuki before giving Sakura kiss on the forehead. "Get some rest, you still have the academy in the morning."

Sakura nods at this and gets ready for bed.

Mebuki leaves the bedroom, being careful so that Kizashi would not suspect them, luckily the Spring Samurai isn't home, for the failed attempt of capturing the Poketrainers earned him some deep scars, both on his person and on his pride.

Darkborne may have failed in liberating us from Kizashi's shameful hold. But soon, the name Cherry Blade and Royal Ann will haunt Konoha. thought Mebuki with a sinister grin. And litter the streets with bloodless death.
