Chapter 11

Catacombs: Floor 1

Naruto and Noire descends from the stairs which will lead them to the dark temple catacombs. Inside is pitch black, not even Naruto's Sharingan can see through it but fortunately there are unlit sconces hanging on the wall.

"Best we venture on in the dark, grab a torch" said Naruto as he reaches up for one, which is difficult due to his height but managed to grab one. He sets it alight with his fireball spell and illuminates a small area around him, but then suddenly all the sconces on the catacomb walls start to light up, illuminating the entire wall. Naruto was startled at this and dropped his torch, looking around to see what caused this when he heard a sound of shifting stone. He turns to see Karin, she just recently lifted her foot off what appeared to be a pressure plate that blended in the stone floor. "Karin?"

"He, he, he, oops" said Karin sheepishly as she accidentally turned on the lights.

"What are you doing here?" said Naruto as he then noticed that Compa isn't here with him. "And Compa?"

"Kaa-san, sent me instead. She said that you might need me more because of my abilities of sensing Chakra." Said Karin nervously at the Overlord, while blushing as she starts to be more honest. "But truthfully, your chakra is fascinating. Even more powerful and dangerous than Soras. I know because I sensed Sora's Chakra before and he has nothing on you…so I…er followed you and snuck in to help."

After hearing this, Naruto rubbed his head and groaned, not because Karin snuck in but because Juubi is teasing.

"Aw, the little Uzumaki girl has a crush on you, Naruto-kun" teased Juubi

Naruto frowned with a deadpan expression as he cut off the mind link with Juubi, apparently her childish teasing not fits with that chibified form. However, he can still feel her laughing at him and sighed at this. Just ignore her, Naruto.

Naruto returns his attention to Karin, who is more nervous when his ocean blue eyes fixes are her magenta eyes.

"Come on, then" said Naruto as he and Noire venture forth, he opens a messenger box to send a part invite to the magenta haired girl.

Karin noticed her messenger box appear before her, it reads.

[Naruto has invited you]

Karin was shocked at this and rushes to Naruto

"You're letting me come?" said Karin, her eyes shine with happiness.

"Not like we have much of a choice" said Naruto "The entrance is sealed shut for good, leaving us trapped until we reach the reach the exit. Meaning that we'll to go through traps, monsters and potential mini-bosses. So, stay close to us and well get out in no time."

"Oh," said Karin sadly, after hearing Naruto's reasons she felt like a liability to him and was forced to invite her to his party.

"Besides, this may be good for us" said Naruto continuing. "I can't say that you're only a little girl since we're about the same age. Plus, I saw you handle yourself in combat and you were under Compa's wing, meaning that you have experience in medical jutsu.

"Hai, Kaa-san trained me when she took me in" said Karin "She even help me discover my Gamer powers."

"Yes, I saw it." Said Naruto "You're a puzzle type"

"Hai," said Karin demonstrating by creating a purple blob in her left hand and a blue/red pill on her right.

"Karin-chan," said Noire, deciding to add the suffix to be all friendly around the girl. "How did meet Compa?"

Hearing this made Karin feel afraid, Noire noticed this and tried to apologies but Karin gathered the courage to speak.

"I was raised in Kusa, my mom escaped from the attack from Konoha lead by a man named Danzo Shimura. I was only a toddler when it happened. My mom became a Medic-nin for Kusa, but the medical procedures were…horrifying" said Karin as she rolled up her sleeves to show faint, nigh visible bitemarks. "Mom and I have a unique ability to transfer our chakra into people only by biting us. It was painful and drains our energy each time it was used. She died from chakra exhaustion but the Kusa didn't care, leaving me an orphan at the age of 8. They replaced her with me, and forced me to be bitten by the wounded, ignoring my pleas."

(Flashback: 3 years ago)

"NOO, Please, AAARGHHH!" screamed an eight-year-old Karin when a wounded Kusa ninja sank his teeth into her arm. He bit too hard that he draws blood.

This continues again and again, Karin is dragged to another wounded ninja after another. Each bit into her, draining the chakra out of her.

"Come on, girl. Keep going" said the Kusa doctor stationed in the infirmary. Dragging the poor girl towards the other wounded ninja.

"NO, No more. You killed mommy?" screamed Karin started kicking and screaming, unaware that she is secreting multi-coloured blobs from her palms.

The doctor snarls and starts slapping her.

"Ungrateful brat, don't you care that we have so many wounded in this infirmary?" shouted the Doctor as he slaps her again. "We were happy to take you in despite being a sticking Gaijin, and this is how you pay us? Yeah, I get it. You mother died, but she died during her duty as a medic-nin, and you best know your place and do the same, understand?"

Suddenly screams of death are heard from outside the infirmary, the Doctor heard this and look afar and noticed that blood seeps out from under the door.

"Kuso, we've been breached!" said the Kusa Doctor pulling out a surgical knife and bonesaw. He may be a doctor but he was a ninja first before he trained into the arts of healing. He signals the other ninja who are also stationed and also the healed. "anyone able-bodied, At arms, now!"

"Hai" said the Kusa ninjas as they pull out their weapons and prepare their jutsus. Even the ones who were healed up by the unwilling Karin. "You stay with me, I need you to heal anyone who are harmed."

Poor Karin is scared and feels uncomfortable as the doctor has a hard grip on her arm.

"DEMONIC INFERNO!"

Suddenly the infirmary bursts into flames, many of the Kusa ninja were caught in it, the Doctor was blown away from the force and loosen his grip on Karin. The girl tried to run away but the Doctor grabbed her by the ankle and forced her to fall over.

"Where do you think you're going?" said Doctor, his face is badly burned but his mouth was sliced cheek to cheek which formed a cheshire grin. The sight of it scared Karin as she tried to kick him off. "Do your duty, heal me!"

The Doctor tries to pull Karin closer for him to take a bite, but then he stops as he sees 2 figures enter the burning infirmary. He snarls as he got up and held Karin hostage, for he knows exactly they are.

"Gamer scum, you dare set foot here!" exclaimed the Doctor when Compa and IF revealed themselves through the fire and smoke. "No matter, Kusa will become a major hidden village when the news of your deaths is caused by us. GET THEM!"

The Kusa Ninja who remained standing charges at IF and Compa, the brown-haired girl in the long sleeved blue coat pulled out a pair of Katars and starts attacking the enemies, her movements flow like a fluent dance, she dodges and slashes with ease and grace, as if a dancer is performing in front of a live audience but the true spectator is Karin as she watches in awe at IF's beautiful combat moves.

Compa's form of combat is different as she is mostly a medic, she aims her giant syringe at the incoming enemy, she fires laser beams and/or jabbing them with the needle to inject poison of any kind, but mostly paralyzing toxins.

The Kusa ninjas never stood a chance, they fell on the ground, bleeding but still alive. The Doctor curses under his breath and steps back, still with Karin in his hands.

"Damn you!" roared the Doctor as he sank his teeth and bit Karin hard on the neck, the girl screams in pain and can feel her chakra getting sucked up by the Doctor. The burn mark slowly heals, his Cheshire Grin closes and replaces with a smile-like scar. Compa watches this, pure hatred and fury boils within her as she charges at the Doctor, hoisting her Syringe like a lance and plunges the needle through his neck. The Doctor was forced to let go of Karin, both his hands and teeth are loose from their grasp on her.

IF rushes to catches Karin as she collapses, she lulls her sweetly with assurance while Compa begins her punishment on the Kusa doctor. She starts jabbing her syringe all around his body, injecting pain, toxic concoctions she has. Causing his skin to burn off, his blood boil, tendons break, etc.

"ARGH!" the doctor screams in beyond agony.

"You call yourself a man of medicine?" said Compa "Using a poor innocent girl as a tool while you should've heal these people yourself. You're no better than HIM."

She turns away from the screaming doctor and approach IF and a weakened Karin, Karin slowly and weakly shift her magenta eyes to the creamy pink haired woman. Compa softly placed her hand on Karin's head and said sweetly to her.

"It's going to be alright now, I'll take care you" said Compa before she looks up to her comrade IF. "Iffy, can you search the area for Green Sister's remains."

"Hai" said IF sadly while gently giving Karin to Compa, she was about to leave until Karin grabbed her sleeve.

"Please…find my Mom…please!" said Karin, her magenta eyes seep out tears, tears of Sorrow and Sadness. IF saw this and nods sadly, causing Karin to let go of IF's sleeve.

Later on, in Uzushio Ruins

Compa, IF and the now rejuvenated Karin are at the ruins of Uzushio, they prepared a mass funeral for the fallen citizens of this fallen village, who were mostly from the Uzumaki Clan. Karin's mother is buried among her fellow clansmen, along with the remains of Green Sister, sister of the Green Heart Vert.

Karin kneels in front of her mother's grave, crying and saying her goodbyes while Compa and IF pay their respects and silently weep for the loss of a friend.

I am sorry, Uzume thought IF and Compa We couldn't protect her, we are sorry

(Flashback ends)

"…and after that, we left the ruins of Uzushio" said Karin "It saddens me that my family perished along with my mom. But I have a new mom, Compa-kaa-chan but I still call her Kaa-chan. Also, Iffy-baa-chan, is nice too…but don't tell her I call her that. She insisted that I call her Iffy-nee-chan…calling her Baa-chan makes her feel old."

"Oh Yami," said Noire covering her mouth in shock and sorrow.

Naruto is silent, sorrow floods his mind when he heard of his Clan's fate, a part of him died that day any filled with the desire of vengeance and his hatred of Konoha burns even more. But Konoha isn't the only one, Kusa has sealed their fate when they abused his distance relative along with the murder of one. He tightens his bare fist and hasten his pace.

So Konoha, Kusa, all will be punished for their harm on me and MY Clan. Thought Naruto, unaware that he leaked Juubi's black chakra for a moment, scaring everyone around him, but then the black chakra mixes with an orange aura, creating swirling spiral patterns within the flow. But that's not all, Naruto's bare hand slowly starts to form a dark orange tattoo of a spiral on the back.

Noire noticed the tattoo and widen her eyes at this, she recognised the mark on Naruto's back hand.

Is that…Uzume's Mark? Thought Noire as she stares at the dark orange spiral tattoo. What did Uzume do to Naruto-kun?

Naruto inhales to keep calm, the time for vendetta is later and he's in a middle of a quest.

"Let's just go," said Naruto venturing on, not giving his party a change to compose themselves.

Naruto and his party walked across the corridor and reached big room, it starts illuminate by the iron sconces hanging on the walls. As the room lights up, it reveals a small hoard of Reds huddled by a bone fires with burning monk corpses as kindling. They are dancing with the flames, chanting an incoherent dialect. Naruto only unsheathed his Uchiha Katana and fired a Gudodama at the bonfire, catching the Red's attention.

"Alright, you red vermin!" said Naruto slowly approaching the Reds, Noire and Karin follow. "You're going to be taught a lesson in loyalty and betrayal. And to suffer dire consequences for the latter."

The Reds only snarls at Naruto and starts throwing fireballs at him, but Naruto dodges them and counterattacks with a flurry of swipes from his katana. Noire and Karin joins in also, the Black Heart draws out her sword and slices them all while Karin blows them up by matching the blobs in 3 or more in a row.

The attack caught the attention of more Reds as they charge from the numerous corridors, Naruto notice this and starts firing gudodamas at them, each impact from the gudodamas took out a handful of Reds, the rest of them were then taken down by Karin and Noire.

Battle victorious

[Karin Levels up]

"YATTA!" cheered up Karin as she starts jumping within joy, Naruto couldn't help but smirk slightly at Karin's cheering. Levelling up by one is nothing for Gamers, but Karin might needs some cheering up are reminiscing the tragic past in Kusa.

Karin giggled this level up help made her unlock a power-up.

[Power up unlocked: colour bomb]

Colour bomb causes a selected colour blob to detonate all blobs of the same colour. Beneficial for combo colour attacks and multiple kills. Power-up created in a 5-row attack.

Karin smiles at her message box before she closes it.

"Come on, let's go" said Naruto until he heard faint whispers in his mind, the whispers aren't from Juubi as he would recognise her voice. The whispers are unfamiliar to him, drawing him in. "Come on, this way!"

Naruto rushes to another corridor, which leads him a stairway to the next floor.

Floor 2

Naruto and his party reached the second floor, this whispers in Naruto's head are getting louder and clearer.

Over here…I'm right here

Naruto place his hand on the corridor wall, his eyes closed so he can focus on the whisper. Noire and Karin are confused and getting concerned for Naruto.

"What's wrong?" asked Noire "Are you ok?"

"Shh, I'm trying to listen" said Naruto, scraping his gauntlet clad hand on the wall as he kept walking. As he gets closer, the whispers now turn into a voice, a trapped echoing voice, then he stopped as the wall his clawed with his gauntlet felt strange. He knocks on it, and notices it being hollow. "There!"

Naruto steps back and fires a Gudodama at it, breaking the wall and revealing a hidden room. He enters the room along with Noire and Karin. The 2 girls looked in awe at it, for the room contains 4 items each on a pedestal. The first is stone column glowing in red, the other is another column but glowing in blue. Naruto knew exactly what these columns are, they are the blood and mana runes. The changes of finding these ancient runes here ceases to amaze him.

But that's not all, the third is a spell rune but sparkles in electricity. And lastly, the last item is not a Rune but a strange black block shaped like a cross with glowing purple lines and what looks like a N in the center of a glass in the middle of it which the 4 cross points contain about 4 disks. Noire knew that that is.

"So she's here all along" said Noire, her voice is in whispers.

"Who?" said Karin

"The Purple Heart, Neptune" said Noire and gave Naruto a look of catution. "Naruto-kun, when you meet Neptune…please be careful."

"Err…ok," said Naruto, confused at why he should at first while he turns on the idol. He then gets engulfed in purple light.

(Purple Heart's mindscape)

Naruto after pressing the console Naruto is now in the Mindscape which is now a gray landscape area like with Noire's.

Naruto then asked now "Where is Neptune? Noire-sama said to watch out but why?"

Naruto then sees a girl falling toward him and hears "MOVE! MOVE! MOVE! MOVE!"

This was surprising to Naruto which he moved out of the way. "OK, YOU ARE GOOD TO GO!"

"Wow, you are really prepared. Now I can fall without fear. NEPUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"

There was then a crash on the ground in front of Naruto

"You OK Neptune-sama?" said Naruto look over at the dust clouded crater.

"Don't try this at home fanfic readers I am what you call a professional."

"I take it you are fine" said Naruto, he has no idea what Neptune is talking about.

Naruto now sees a fair skinned girl with light purple eyes and a matching shade of hair. It's shoulder length with somewhat messy bangs with many strands sticking up and few framing her face. She wears two gamepad-shaped hair clips in her head, and she is wearing a big white hoodie-like dress with purple striped cuffs, lining, and a purple hood. The outfit had pale, ice blue and light lilac accents. As well as a zipper section, two big round pockets, a big zipper with an N on it, and strings resembling a plug. Around her neck she wore a simple white choker. Her lilac shoes have blue and white accents and were also worn with blue and white striped stockings.

"Don't worry since I am the protagonist of the HyperDimension Neptunia game series I am pretty much used to falling at this point."

"Um."

"Only those that play the HyperDiminsion Neptunia series or watch the anime will get this since I break the 4th wall on occasion but in seriousness yes I am the goddess Purple Heart and while I can't help get rid of the Censor Trap I can at least join you on your quest if you want." As Neptune said that she had her hand out for a handshake

"Well since I am going to need some allies to get the reds here I will accept"

Which Naruto then shook Neptune's hand and Neptune then said "Nepu." with a smile

The Message then said Neptune been added to the party.

Neptune then added "In order to gain my favor though I want you to do one thing once we get out."

"What is that Neptune-sama?"

"I want you to get 3 things before a certain event when Lowee or what you call Kumo brings their ambassador to Planeptune, and I know it is called Konoha but it will always be called Planeptune to me."

"And what are these items?"

"2 share crystals that are hidden in Planeptune and pudding, it has been so long since I had pudding."

Naruto sweatdropped at that last part of Neptune's request.

"Please tell me you are not sending me to get your groceries Neptune-sama." Said Naruto in a deadpan expression.

"I see anything else?"

"There is also another thing, I want you to find other pieces of this." Neptune then pulled out a piece of what looked like a collar "This is the fragment of the Sega Hard Girl Saturn, the Sega hard girls were one of the creations of one of the 4 Maker Goddess, who were the children of Yami with a Maker class gamer, Saturn was my counterpart and I want to bring her back by fixing her fragments of her collar."

Neptune is so happy that she couldn't help but glomp Naruto in a hug, causing the Overlord to blush when the side of his head is pressed on the Purple Heart's breasts.

(Mindscape ends)

Naruto returns to the catacombs, and Neptune is revealed still hugging him with his head pressed on her breasts. Naruto feels awkward and he can feel Juubi laughing at him.

"Neptune-sama, can you please release me." Said Naruto, as he did notice a look of hidden jealousy from Noire.

"Neptune, get off him now!" exclaimed Noire

"Hey, you wanted to do this, too Noire" said Neptune, sticking her tongue at the Black Heart, still holding Naruto in her embrace.

Noire was taken back at this and quickly denies it.

"N-No! Of course not!" exclaimed Noire

"Well Mr. Shadow and Chaos begs to differ" said Neptune

What on earth is she talking about? Thought Naruto and can she please let go of me!

Noire and Neptune kept bickering and arguing at each other while Naruto is trying not to blush more and ignore Neptune's soft breasts still pressed on the side of his face, and the Censor Trap didn't help because Naruto is getting lewd thought now and it's hurting his head.

"Ow, my head!" exclaimed Naruto as his head feels like a thousand senbons were jabbed there.

Noire noticed Naruto's look of pain and discomfort and stares at Neptune.

"Let him go, NOW!" said Noire

"Ok, ok!" said Neptune as she released Naruto, she then noticed Naruto held his head in pain. "What's wrong, Naruto-kun?"

"My head, it hurts" said Naruto "Just stay back, please"

"It's the censor trap, isn't it?" said Noir

"Hai…apparently I was thinking something…inappropriate when Neptune was hugging me too close to her chest." Said Naruto, suddenly getting another headache when he mentioned it again. "Kuso, I hate this thing!"

"here, take these" said Karin as she placed 3 tablets on Naruto's forehead, the pills' colours connect and they flash.

Naruto's headache instantly vanished, no longer in pain.

"Thank you" said Naruto smiling at Karin

Karin smiled and nodded at Naruto.

Naruto sighed at this and approaches the runes and idol.

"Now how on earth do I get these to the Tower?" said Naruto until Noire approaches the tower items and place her palm on each of them. The moment she touches the items, they digitize and vanish in a flash. "What did you do?"

"exactly what you wanted" said Noire "I can send items to where my Idol rests."

Receiving Call: Gnarl

Naruto received the call and heard Gnarl's voice

"Master, I've 3 tower items suddenly appear in front of the throne room. What happened?"

Naruto replied though telepathy, like how he can speak with Juubi in his mind.

"Relax, Noire send them there due to lack of waypoint" said Naruto

"Hmm, makes sense, it'll take forever for Grubby to dig a waypoint in there" said Gnarl "Very well, just hold for a moment for us to install the runes back in their respected place."

"Right" said Naruto before he cuts off the call and waits.

It took Gnarl 2 minutes for the runes to be placed, and Naruto suddenly feels the notice.

"Whoa" said Naruto as his heart rate's more elevated, he feels more enegetic, more euphoric. He feels great, ecstatic and completely relaxed. "Oh Yami, this feels great! WHoA!"

"Naruto-kun, are you ok?" said Karin

"Of course, I'm alright!" said Naruto with self-praise, he then suddenly received a messege from the messenger box.

Spell Unlocked: Lightning Whip

"Lightning Whip" said Naruto until his gauntlet sparks out, he flicks his wrists and he created a whip of pure lightning. Lashing it on the wall, he laughs with amazing. "HA ha, yes!"

"Wow, he looks so happy" said Neptune "Like a child with a new toy"

"Shh" hushed Noire

Naruto suddenly calms down but still relaxed.

"*sigh* wow, what just happened?" said Naruto

Gnarl suddenly called back.

"There we go, sorry I forgot to mention this but every time you receive a blood/mana rune, your body gets in a sense of euphoria. It's only temporary but you do get a permanent change in your internal body functions." Said Gnarl

"No problem, Gnarl" said Naruto "I liked it, that's the most amazing thing I felt."

"Oh *chuckles* you have no idea, sire" said Gnarl doing a lewd chuckle, foreshadowing what the young Overlord will have to endure in the future.

"What was that?" said Naruto, not clearly getting what Gnarl meant.

"Oh nothing, I'll just leave you on your quest." Said Gnarl before he hung up.

Naruto is confused on what Gnarl meant, but he shrugged as it will have to wait for another time. He turns to his party who are waiting paitently for him.

"Let's go, where done" said Naruto until he noticed Neptune's Idol is still here. So he took it and placed it in his Inventory.

Floor 3

Naruto and Party ventured on to Floor 3, which they go through an array of booby traps and enemies, not just Reds but Nin-Rats and Nin-bats.

But they are merely cannon fodder compare to the new enemies they recently encountered. After going through a network of corridors, they reached a room that contains a stairway leading to the fourth floor. But in that room is occupied by a moderate group of figures, chanting to a pyre with a crude suit of dark armour tied to a pole in the centre of the burning pyre.

They are human, but shrouded in tattered cowls and ragged straw hats and straw helmets, wielding monk staffs and flutes. Naruto used Observe only to identify them, reading their stats is still blocked from the Censor Trap.

Fanatic

Bio: Corrupted Monks that worship a dark cult, extremely hostile to anyone and everyone.

Fanatic Healer

Bio: Once wandering performers but granted healing powers by playing their flutes, their heads are concealed by their straw helmets to hide their twisted corrupted appearance.

And among that group is a man who looks more human than the rest, he has long white hair, a diagonal scar across his face and a pair of yellow eyes. While the fanatics chant to the burning pyre with the empty dark armour, this man praises out loud.

"Oh, great Demon Prince. The True King of Shinobi, speak to us." Said the Head Fanatic "What is it you wish for us to do now!"

Suddenly the flames roar high, causing the fanatics to seize their chanting as the Dark Armour shrouds in a malevolent chakra, and glowing eyes appear through the helmet's slots.

"Furido, have you found what I seek?" said the Demon Prince

"Hai, but we have a problem" said Furido. Naruto did some homework on this guy after going through the archives room. He was a Konoha Jonin and former member of the Fire Guardians, formally named Kazuma, but he went religious and plotted a coup against the Hokage because he believes that the Kages are "False Kings" of the Shinobi Nations and it should be ruled by the "one True King". A crazy fanatic, but even he can be dangerous if underestimated.

"Problem, what problem?" said the Demon Prince

"We have found the item but it the room containing it is sealed up by a specially made door that is impenetrable. Plus the rumoured Runes are nowhere to be found." Said Furido

"Kuso, my meddling brother hid them very well."Said the Demon Prince in anger."I swore he told me that he hid the first Blood and Mana Runes in the Fire Temple Catacombs. No matter, at least the Red Hive has been located, inform me when made progress on breaking down that door that's blocking your path."

"Hai, my King" said Furido when the pyre is burned out, cutting off his contact to this anonymous Demon Prince. He turns to the fanatics and gives out the orders. "I need volunteers to come with me, the rest will continue the search for those Runes. The master demands them and we will not leave here until All of them are found.

"Brother Furido, what will you do?" said one of the Fanatics

"There is another reason I volunteered for this quest, and I believe it will not be in vain" said Furido as he and a few chosen Fanatics leave the floor.

After Furido left, Naruto saw and heard everything. He discovered why the Reds were on a rampage in the first place, apparently a cult infiltrated the catacombs to steal the Red Hive and the Tower Runes. Luckily Naruto found the Runes thanks to Neptune's guidance, but the Hive is in danger fallen in the wrong hands.

"We got to hurry" said Naruto unsheathingSting and Uchiha Katana

"Hai/Hai" said Naruto Party

Naruto jumps out of the dark and instantly killed one Fanatic with a black in the back, this alerted the other Fanatics.

"Surprise, A-holes!" said Naruto carefully not triggering the Censor Trap

"Heathen, Usurper!" chanted the Fanatics, they accuse Naruto for wrongly stealing the Overlord throne for they believe that the Demon Prince is the true heir of the previous Overlord, Jareth the Goblin King.

Frankly, Naruto doesn't care and starts summoning his Gudōdama and randomly fires them at the Fanatics.

The Fanatics retaliated, charging with their weapons at Naruto and his Party. But the Overlord will not stand here and let them make the first strike. He uses this as an opportunity to test his new spell, he lashes his Lightning Whip at the first Fanatic who come close and electrocuted him. He then lashes at another, and another. Noire and Neptune team-up (with the Black Heart's reluctance) and starts slashing the enemies with their signature swords.

Karin doesn't stand there either, she joins in the battle, she plants her blobs on the Fanatics and blew them up. The tested her Colour Bomb power up to see the effects, and it doesn't disappoint. She first plants a blob of the same colour on each Fanatic and activates the colour bomb to trigger the blobs.

The battle was satisfying for Naruto and his party, for every Fanatic in this floor is down for the count. Naruto claimed their souls as collateral and searches for any useful loot to use.

"This is getting more serious now, first Akenomyosei, second the Censored Justice, now this strange Cult plotting to steal what is rightfully mine. S***s getting weird." Said Naruto, ignoring that he triggered the censored trap, or even cared. "I will not let those b****ds get that Red Hive, then I'll torture that Furido on who and why that Demon Prince is against me."

"According to them, the Hive is at the next floor" said Neptune "and they can't get in the room that contains it."

"So, we're getting close" said Naruto "Let's go, but be warned…we'll be expecting a fight."

4th Floor

After dealing with the rouge Reds, the ninjaized vermin and sinister fanatics from some cult who infiltrated the catacombs. Naruto and his Party reached the 4th floor of this death-trap of what you call temple catacombs.

As they walk across the corridor, no hidden traps or ambushes were made from any enemies. Which made the Overlord very suspicious, enough to slowly unsheathe the Uchiha Katana and Sting. Noire and Neptune understands Naruto's cautious behaviour but they sense nothing hazardous in the corridor but draws out their swords too, best to be cautious even when you're not in danger.

"It's too quiet in here" said Naruto shifting his eyes cautiously, he then opens a connection to Jūbi. Jūbi, can you sense anything?

"nothing malicious yet, but I do sense a strong chakra source at the end of this Corridor"

"Then that must be the door for the room containing the Red hive" said Naruto before calling out to his party. "Hurry, we found it!"

"Right/right" said Naruto's party.

They rushes to the end of the corridor, ignoring the other turns to other corridors and rooms of this floor as they are tracking a strong Chakra signature in on particular spot. They reached it, and what they see before them is a door with curved lines spiralling out like a maelstrom. Naruto places his hand on the door but he moves it away as the chakra on it felt sharp, like it's spinning rapidly around.

"Interesting form of defence" said Naruto as he tries firing Gudōdama at the door, but they were bounced off. Next his Lightning Whip and Fireballs, but no effect. "Very interesting form of defence.

"So, what now?" said Neptune

"I don't know, there must be a way to open this do…this…" said Naruto as he held his head as he is feeling a little bit woozy.

"Naruto-kun, are you ok?" Noire with concern

"Hai, Hai, I'm…oh dear" said Naruto as he nearly faints which Neptune catches him.

"I got you Naruto-kun" said Neptune, she noticed Naruto's eyes are rolled back and his tattooed hand glow orange. He is in a trance, Uzume's mark is reaching to the door as the curved lines are glowing dark orange.

(Dreamscape)

Naruto then sees himself in what looks like a ruined city and looking at 2 people which he unknowingly has his Sharingan out watching what happens

One person who is a fair-skinned girl with red-orange hair and long blood red hair in pigtails worn in pigtails located near the bottom of her head, held by hair that has been knotted. The hair has a few black clasps and a pink gradient nearing the bottom. She wears a very small black tube top under an opened white jacket with a bright orange, black, and white tie. She also wears a pair of pleated shorts worn with a pair of thin black suspenders, and open to reveal her orange underwear, and black fingerless gloves over a pair of orange and black sleeves, matching socks, black shoes and a pair of black leg warmers with buttons on them.

The other person who is also a girl resembles the red head but has empty, dark blue eyes with a light red hue and long, dark blue hair. Her attire is inverted and covers more of her body, being black with accents of pale grey and indigo.

The red head then said with a smile "I never expected they'd try to revive me like this. As usual, Nepsy just never gives up, does she?"

The indigo haired one then said "However, I'll be the one to be reborn. I won't just hand it to "Me.""

"I don't plan on giving up to "Me" either. Since you've died and once gotten outta the delusion, you feel this share energy too, right Kurome Ankokuboshi?"

"What of it? Even if I've gotten out of the whirlpool of delusion, and lost the benefit of negative energy, my hatred for gameindustry won't disappear. As long as there is hate for gameindustry in our heart, I will exist. You can't possibly win, you're only a fragment of me, not even a fully realized person. Your chances are zero."

"Then I Uzume Tennoubshi, will change that zero!"

Both Uzume and Kurome jump back

*"The VISION of TELATIVITY" by nao for the song to be played here*

"I am not letting you out of this alive, Dream Roar!" Uzume then rush toward Kurome, then at the last few seconds jumps feet first off, her then takes out her Megaphone and yells "YAAAAAAAAAAAA!" which the soundwave was strong enough to cause a crater a yard wide however Kurome was still ok with little damage.

Kurome which replied "Could you disappear already? Dream Striker!" cracking her knuckles then rushing toward Uzume. Then punching her each punch sending like a mini shockwave. "Disappear, disappear, disappear, DISAPEAR!" at the final disappear she threw a big punch which caused a big shockwave.

Then Uzume said "One v one you and me fool. Dream Combo!" Now Uzume cracking her knuckles now then rushing toward Kurome. Then punching her each punch sending like a mini shockwave. "Ora, ora, ora, ora, ORA!" at the final Ora she threw a big punch which caused a big shockwave just alright.

Uzume thought to her self Nepsy, Gearsy … Umio. Just you wait, I'm fighting for this chance you've given me with my bare hands!

Kurome then said "Sink into the whirlpool of delusion, Fantasy breaker!" Kurome then threw her own megaphone on the ground and her right hand had a spiral drill like aura and lunge toward Uzume hitting her with the drill then spins and an explosion hits Uzume.

"… Tch! Guess with havin' your existence on the line, you're pretty desperate to win!"

"Of course I am. I've waited decades for this day! I won't give it up to the likes of "Me!" Dream Denying Strike!" Kurome then activates her megaphone she picked up which emitted a noise which turned into mini shockwaves. "Die, die, die, die, DIE!" Kurume threw her Megaphone up in the air then punched Uzume twenty time each punch like a shockwave, "I'll show you despair" which she then catches the megaphone which next to her were blue holographic speakers "FLY AWAY!" she shouted in her megaphone causing the speakers to charge a blue laser and launch at Uzume hitting her. "VANISH!" Kurome then punches Uzume causing a big explosion!

Uzume was however alright "Time to use the move I just created, Special Dream Rasengan Combo!" Uzume then activates her megaphone "ORA ORA!" the noise then turned into mini shockwaves hitting Kurome. Uzume then her Megaphone up in the air then punched Kurome twenty time each punch like a shockwave, "I'll give you a special dream" which she then catches the megaphone which next to her were orange holographic speakers "BLOW AWAY!" she shouted in her megaphone causing the speakers to charge an orange laser and launch at Kurome hitting her. "FEEL THE POWER OF MY DREAMS, RASENGAN!" Uzume then had her hand out charging what looks like a spinning orange orb with a blue center which hit Kurome.

Naruto Has learned Rasengan

This battle then ended wake up with Neptune hugging him causing him to blush.

"H-Hai, I'm okay" said Naruto rubbing his head while breaking out of Neptune's embrace. What was that? It felt so real, and who is Uzume?

Naruto then realized that a message box from before mentioned a Jutsu, he then looked back at the door.

"I wonder" said Naruto as he opens his tattooed hand and channel his chakra into his palm. The chakra swirls around like a tiny tornado, but it starts to move around to form a perfect swirling orb. He stares at the orb and then at the door before he plunges it and roared out "RASENGAN!"

The Rasengan is plunged into the centre, creating a spiralling crater on the door and causes it to break apart. Naruto pushes it in deep until he can get the door to completely break open, the result was a success.

Red Lair

The door is now open, pieces of it were blown away and scattered all over the floor. Naruto enters the room which is very hot and steamy, small lava streams and geysers were formed in the room, which is inhabitable for the Reds to thrive. In the centre of the Hovel what appears to resemble a miniature volcano with multiple vents.

Naruto slowly approaches the structure and starts to place his gauntlet clad hand on it when suddenly…

"LOOK OUT!"

Jūbi's warning alerted Naruto when a giant flaming curved sword was about to decapitate and smoulder him, but he dodges rolled away and jumped back with Sting and the Uchiha Katana drawn out. Naruto now confronts giant red beast shrouded in flames, primed with a pair of black ram-like horns, a long dragon-like tail and clawed feet with a pair of agile reptilian legs. This demon roars with flames in its mouth and illuminate its blank fiery eyes.

"So, this is one of the Minion Demons created by the Demon Prince" said Naruto staring at the monster standing in the Overlord's way to the Hive. "well them, time to send it back to Hell."

Naruto and his Party pull out their weapons and prepares to fight the beast that guards the Hive. The Red Demon roars and swings his flaming curved sword in the air, creating a ring of fire above it, the flames are trailed by the direction of the fiery sword.

The battle just started, the Overlord's party charge in to fight the fiery demon so that they can reclaim the Red Hive with ease. Naruto used the beast's size against it, meaning that it has a huge opening close and out of its reach.

Neptune and Noire draw out their swords and starts slashing at it, letting out their signature moves for critical damage.

"Cross Combination!" said Neptune as she threw a fury of swipe with her sword, each swing was heavy and causes so much damage on the beast.

"Tornado Sword!"Noire as she spun her body to her swing a cutting edge, she slashes hard at the Demon's abdomen.

The Red Demon roared as his wounds seep out bright molten orange/white lava blood, this causes Naruto to back off but he isn't worried.

"Kage Bushin no Jutsu!" said Naruto creating 2 clones to assist him, the first Clone starts firing Gudōdamas at the Demon while the second Clone lashes out the lightning whip, the Demon roars as it swings its fiery sword at the Clones and Hearts.

Naruto notices that Karin is hesitant and scare but focusing on her preparations for her pill combos. Naruto understands this as Karin is here in case either him or the Hearts fall in battle. So staying away from the fight is the wise tactic and should be used as a last resort for medics like Karin.

"Neptune break!"said Neptune as she dashes through the Demon with each slash at them, inflicting more damage on it, causing it to bleed out lava until a puddle surrounds its feet.

The lava starts to spread and slowly eat away the floor.

"Lacy Dance"said Noire as she jumps up and starts kicking the Demon's head following with some slashes in between.

The 2 clones kept using the jutsu and spell they were assigned to cast, while Naruto tries find a way to get close to the demon now surrounded by a huge pool of its own lava blood. Then he notices that the floor is forming holes where the lava-blood has flooded, slowly draining the blood down. This gave Naruto an idea.

"fire the Gudōdamas on the floor, break the floor!" said Naruto as he sheaths his weapons and starts firing his Gudōdamas on the floor.

"Hai!" said the 2 clones, copying their original.

Neptune and Noire notice this and wondered what is Naruto doing, then it hit them as they saw more holes forming on the floor.

"Neptune, with me!" said Noire as she jumps up

"Got it" said Neptune as she too jumps high

Both raise their swords up, channelling their share energy into it and called out their final more.

"32-bit Mega Blade!"said Neptune as she created a giant digital sword in the sky, the blade aimed for the floor. It soars down and plunged into the floor.

"Fall Slash!" said Noire raising her sword high and swung vertically to unleash an energy attack, which the impact causes the floor to quake.

The Floor is slowly forming a hole, in which the demon is right in the middle of it. Everyone backs off and lets the monster fall into the deep pit. And with that, Victory is theirs.

"NEPU!" cheered Neptune jumping up and posing a peace sign at…us? Wait a minute…what? "We did it, folks."

"Neptune, stop talking to yourself" said Noire shaking her head at her follow Heart.

"Sorry," said Neptune sheepishly, forgotten that she's the only one is aware outside this story.

Suddenly the sound of slow clapping echoes in the room and everyone turns to see Furido with his volunteered group of fanatics now hoisting the Hive.

"Spectacular performance, I applaud for your cooperation for keep the beast busy while we get this Hive out." Said Furido "Thank you, but now it is time to say goodbye."

Before Furido would leave, Naruto tossed a Kunai and it wisped by him, hitting a Fanatic between the eyes but grazed the leader's cheek.

"You're not taking that anywhere" said Naruto as he leapt over the pit and stood in front of Furido with Sting pressing his neck. "That hive is mine."

"I'm afraid you're mistaken, boy" said Furido as he grabbed Sting by the blade and moved away from his neck, not caring that his hand is bleeding. "The Hives, along with the arcane Tower Runes are heirlooms to the Demon Prince, son of the 4th Overlord. The TRUE King of the world, and as a devoted servant to the Prince, I will not let some Pretender claim what isn't his by right."

"Ironic, Gnarl informed me…" said Naruto until Furido

"That miserable old imp is a lying traitor, calming that "my king is not the true successor overlord." Even that heathen brother of his would dare have my King rise in power, that is why he sealed them up. Including the Demons, he created to protect them from false Overlords like you."

"Well looks like this So-called Prince failed." Said Naruto "I killed this "Guardian" and now I'm leaving here with the Hive, despite your protest."

Furido only chuckles at Naruto

"Such arrogance and nativity of young children" said Furido "You think a mere fall would kill a Demon. The Demon Prince isn't known for creating WEAK Demons."

Suddenly the Red Demon rises from the pit, with a pair of bat-like wings. It grabs Naruto and roars at him, with the intent to kill.

"The Demon Prince created that Demon with one of the strongest of the Minion Tribes." Said Furido watching Naruto struggle in the Demon's grasp. "The Demon Prince chases the best, and the best he gets. Now die."

Naruto snarled for a sec, but only smirked at the Head Fanatic.

"I'll come back for you." Said Naruto before he turns his Party.

The Hearts, Karin and Furido are confused at first until they noticed a small hoard of Browns burst out from the walls and pounce on the Red Demon, destroying the wings.

Naruto-kun!" exclaimed Noire and Neptune as they notice the Demon is struggling to stay airborne, but still holding Naruto tightly.

"Get the Hive, kill everyone" said Naruto as he wiggles his arms free and creates the Rasengan. "I'll be back"

The Browns completely broke the Demons wings and it falls with Naruto in its claws.

"NARUTO-KUN!" screamed the Party as they rush to the edge.

Furido smirks at Naruto's suicidal action and turns away.

"That's one pest dealt with, kill the rest." Said Furido

"Hai" said the Fanatics.

The Hearts stayed silent at first but then they draw out their weapons while they glared venomously at their enemy.

"You should NEVER anger a Goddess" said Noire as she charges at the Fanatics

"There is no way for a Protagonist to die this soon in the story!" said Neptune

Karin ceased her crying and glared angrily while throwing her blobs frantically, not caring that they match up or not.

"HE'S THE ONLY FAMILY I'VE GOT!" screamed Karin, random Fanatics explode when the blobs eventually match up.

The party is at a frenzy, their desire for revenge is sweet in their hearts and they will obey his last command: retrieve the Hive. Deep down, they want to believe Naruto is still alive for an Overlord is never easy to kill.

And oh by, they are correct.

5th Floor (Secret Room)

Naruto plummets down the pit which leads him and the demon to a secret room, Naruto plunges the Rasengan into the Demon's wrist to make it let go. Naruto is free but he climbs on the demon and starts stabbing it on the chest.

"Strong Demon? The hell. You. ARE!" roared Naruto as he kept on stabbing the demon with Sting.

The Demon roars in pain and grabs Naruto again, this time it threw the Overlord away. Fortunately, they are only a few feet away from the floor…well fortunate for Naruto as he only rolled roughly on the floor while the Demon crashed hard. Naruto stood up wearily and dust himself and looks head to see a vast pool filled with glowing blue liquid.

Naruto approaches it and looks over it, seeing his reflection on the surface.

"Fascinating" said Naruto as tries to reach out for it until the Demon jump back on its feet, the tremor causes Naruto lose balance and fell in the pool. "F***!"

SPLASH

Naruto fell head in the pool and sunk in, the Demon saw this and growled at this. Now assuming that Naruto is dead, the Demon looked around to finds a way out and retrieve the Hive from those who stole it. But suddenly Naruto jumped out from the pool…but he looked different. His skin is now a shade of blue-grey, glowing blue veins on his cheeks, whiskers, eyes and arms. Fangs protrude from his upper lip and his blond hair now darkened and soaked from entering the pool.

But lastly, the jewel on his gauntlet has a glowing blue ring which sprouted out blue veins all around the gauntlet.

"Oh, now you pissed me off!" said Naruto drawing his Sting and Uchiha Katana, unaware that he can swear properly. But right now, he has a Demon to slay. "RAAAARRRR!"

Naruto charges at the Demon and leaps in for the Kill.

While in his inventory the Idol got soked with some of the stuff

With the group

Neptune's sclera became blueish but her pupil stayed the same and she say a game message

[Neptune learned Phazon Blade]

[Neptune learned Phazon Slash]

[Neptune learned Phazon Dimension Cut]

"Nepu! I learned some sweet new moves thanks to Naruto-kun! This is going to be sweet!"

Meanwhile

Up in the mountains overseeing the Fire Temple, is a lone shrine with a pool that contains the same fluid in the Catacombs. And in a lotus position in front of said pool is a young man with short messy spiky white hair and golden blue eyes with ripple-like patterns across the iris and scleras, and a vertical scar across his left eye.

He is wearing a red-grey shirt, black trousers with medical tap on the ankles and a gold Haori with silver accents. Holstered on his back is a longsword with Nordic runes on the blade and hilt.

As he was in a meditated state, he suddenly opened his eyes as something disturbed him.

"The flow of the Phazon has been disturbed." Said the man as he waves at the pool to reveal him a vision. What could've cause the Phazon to ripple?"

The pool shows Naruto jumping out from the pool from the catacombs, drenched in what this person calls Phazon as it warped his body yet kept him in a familiar form.

"Interesting. So, he has come at last, the destined one to wield the Phazon without the consequence." Said the man smiling at the vision. "Finally, the tables have turned. And this will teach Kami and her pawns a lesson, to never interfere in the Dark Protector's affairs.""

Uzushio Ruins

A mysterious figure in the shadows is talking to a what looks like a grey block with a controller with a small screen on it

"Uzume it seems that we have found Naruto, shall I bring him to you?" said the Mysterious figure who had a surprisingly heavenly voice

"Please bring him to me I want to see my little Naruto-kun we been trying to find him since he was taken from us and Kushina-chan's disappearance, me and Yin Kyubi-chan, or should I say Yin Naomi-chan, help find him Umio and bring him to us I am her god mother so please find him, now that I know my mark has been activated I know he is alive." Replied a different voice from the console

The Mysterious figure name Umio then left saying "I will Uzume."
