Chapter 2

Konoha: Civilian District

BOOM!

Screams of panic echoes in the civilian district of Konoha as Konoha Orphanage suddenly exploded in flames this afternoon. Everyone inside just spontaneously combusted the moment the flames covered the entire building, but not after they screamed in pure horror and agony. This immediately alerted the Hokage and has sent any available ninjas with Water Jutsus to douse the flames before it spreads onto other buildings. The buildings in the civilian are partially old, been around during the founding of Konoha, and they are fire risks.

The Anbu squad soon arrives to aid the local chunnin and Jonin to help douse the flames, water jets burst out of their mouths as they douse the embers and shrinking flames. It takes them a while to make the flames to go but they need to deal with the smoke and heat from within.

The firefighting is being supervised by the ANBU commander with a dog mask and silver hair, making sure that no one is in harm's way during this emergency.

"Keep the civilians away from the danger zone," said ANBU Commander INU noticing a small group of curious civilians, some are children. "Stand back, now!"

The civilians obey, with good reason when suddenly one of the ANBU got caught in a flash fire when a gas line burst from underneath and engulfed the poor bastard. INU shielded his masked face from the flash and heat of that sudden burst. He turns to a Tiger masked ANBU and pulled him by the collar.

"Tora, why wasn't the gas line turned off?" exclaimed INU angrily at TORA.

"W-We did, INU-Taisho" said TORA nervously at his commander. But it seems that the Orphanage has a backup."

More flash flames burst out from the floor, forcing the ninjas to back away.

"Damn it, everyone get back!" said Commander INU preparing to perform a jutsu with his hand signs, a massive flow of chakra shroud him. "Get back now, unless you want to get caught in the jutsu's range!"

Everyone responded to this and move away to a safe distance, the ANBU commander just finished his final hand sign and prepares to cast his jutsu.

"KAMUI!"

A miniature blackhole appears right into the centre of the burning orphanage and it starts sucking the flames, the burning debris, even the oxygen that keeps the flames alive. The commander kept very still and in contact at the burning view. Behind the dog mask, the commander's left eye is a glowing red with a shuriken-like mark around the pupils.

He winces in pain around the eye, blood is seeping out just recently the moment Commander INU used the Jutsu Kamui to dispose of the burning orphanage, which is on the verge of exploding.

"Come on…just a little further" grunts INU in pain, his left eye is pulsing in agony, prolonged use is not good as the black hole will implode too soon. He needs more time, but time is not being cooperative. "Guh…no"

Spoke too soon, the black hold imploded right in the middle of the disposure of the fire hazard. Many flames and debris are gone, but the gas main remains and now exposed.

"GET DOWN!" exclaimed INU to warn the other ninjas and curl up in a ball, because an explosion is about to happen.

"EARTH STYLE: EARTH DOME JUTSU!"

But before the explosion could happen, a giant dome made of earth covers the burning orphanage. The explosion happened, but the shockwave, the flames and the burning debris is blocked and absorbed within the dome. The Commander looked up to see a person in a red conical hat with a white sign with a Kanji of "Fire" written in red. His clothes are white and red haori under a red kimono with a white scarf and obi.

"That was a close one, wasn't it Kakashi?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Sandaime Hokage of Konoha, currently out of retirement due to the death of the Yondaime Hokage 10 years ago, during the Kyuubi incident. Commander INU, or Kakashi Hatake known to all in Konoha, removes his Dog mask to reveal another mask but only his eyes are shown, his left is bleeding but shows a Sharingan with 3 tomoes. Kakashi bows to the Hokage.

"Hokage-sama, I didn't expect you to show up," said Kakashi "I had everything under control"

"Clearly you don't," said Sarutobi taking out his pipe while the earth dome crumbles and buries the smoking debris. The shinobi and ANBU approach the debris and starts dousing it with their water jutsu. "Don't think I haven't noticed you using your Mangeyko, Kakashi. You know how dangerous that technique is."

"I didn't have a choice, the orphanage has it's own gas supply, we just recently discovered" said Kakashi "I order my men to turn off the gas supply to prevent an explosion, that is until this happened."

"I see, did you discover what caused the fire?" said Sarutobi

"Iie, the fire just suddenly happened"said Kakashi

"You guess an attack, Kakashi?" said Sarutobi

"It's a theory, the orphanage was funded well to have a fire alarms installed. Everyone should've left the building by the first sign of a fire." Said Kakashi. "But this fire happened so fast, not caused by a natural cause or an accident."

"I see, well I have to ask Hiashi to send one of his Hyuuga to investigate the scene" said Sarutobi

"The sooner, the better, Hokage-sama"said Kakashi "Whoever or what caused this is still out there."

Meanwhile with Naruto

Naruto is walking in the streets of the Konoha's civilian district, far away where the fire started. He is heading to Ichiraku Ramen. Ichiraku Ramen is literally the only place Naruto is served fairly, everyone in the shops are unfair…no, downright cruel to Naruto with their high prices and selling faulty merchandise to him while other customers are getting fair customer service. But not the Ichirakus, they are nice to Naruto and they don't see him as a monster like the others do.

"Hey guys, are you open?" said Naruto entering the Ramen shop.

"Hey kid," said Teuchi Ichiraku welcoming Naruto. "Just in time, I just opened up."

"Sweet" said Naruto as he took his usual seat and waited for the Ramen cook to make his usual. Teuchi knew what Naruto wanted since he always come here, and while the Ramen is being cooked, Naruto decided to use Observe on Teuchi to pass the time.

Teuchi Ichiraku

Bio: Owner of Ichiraku Ramen, the best Ramen in Konoha. Teuchi is unlike the villagers in this village, he doesn't see Naruto as a demon and is happy to have him around his shop, especially since he is the best customer and is happy to feed the young boy when he is hungry.

Relationship: Friendly (60% discount on Ramen)

"I'm back, Tou-san"

Naruto turns to see a teenage girl with long brown hair and brown eyes walk in the Ramen shop with a pair of shopping bags. Naruto smiles at her while he greets her.

"Hi, Ayame-chan" said Naruto while the Observe scans Ayame and revealed her Bio.

Ayame Ichiraku

Bio: Daughter of Teuchi Ichiraku and co-chef of Ichiraku Ramen. And like her father, she is friendly to Naruto, but so much to see him as a little brother. And also, she is an amazing cook, as if she has a hidden talent for it.

Relationship: Like (10% Exp and HP Bonus)

"Hi, Naruto-kun" said Ayame smiling at the blond. "How are you?"

"Oh, the usual," said Naruto calmly, Ayame frowned slightly at this because Naruto is hated nearly by all in Konoha and only a literal few are treating Naruto fairly. Teuchi hid a frown while in the middle of making Naruto's Ramen.

"It's not right, the way they treat you unfairly" said Ayame

"I'm getting used to it, Ayame-chan," said Naruto, he appreciates the concern Ayame is giving him. "They aren't worth wasting the energy,"

"But what about you being Hokage?" said Teuchi

Naruto frowned as his eyes shift away. The mention of the word "Hokage" feels discriminating and controversial to the blonde, especially when you're in a village that wants you dead.

"I don't if the village would ever accept me as their Hokage to begin with, even if I have to stop an extremely powerful ninja with a purpose of destroying Konoha." Said Naruto. "And believe me, no one likes me, they want me dead."

"It's disgusting, hating you for no reason" said Ayame while heading to the back room to put away the shopping.

Teuchi shifted his eyes from Ayame's words and Naruto knows why, Ayame is never told about Naruto being the Jinchuriki. And as said before, Teuchi doesn't see Naruto as the Kyuubi that terrorised Konoha 10 years ago, but he doesn't want Ayame to know about it so she wouldn't share the villagers' opinion.

"Here you go, kid" said Teuchi giving Naruto a large bowl of delicious Miso Ramen.

Naruto split open a pair of chopsticks and prayed "Itadakimasu" before chowing down on the Ramen. After that bowl, Naruto order another bowl, and another bowl after that one.

HP Increase: 55

EXP Increase: 55

This surprised Naruto when 2 message boxes appeared, informing him of a slight increase of his HP and EXP. Then another message box appears and explained everything to him.

Visiting Ichiraku Ramen on time every day at Lunch and Dinner will give place a slight bonus. So, make sure you get plenty to eat but only if you can afford it.

5 Large Miso Ramen (2R) = 10R

Naruto rummage to start counting his money until a message box appears.

Money Unlocked

Ryo: 100R

Naruto sighed shamefully as he only got only 100 Ryo on him, but he paid Teuchi anyway.

"Here you go" said Naruto paying the Ramen cook.

"Cheers," said Teuchi accepting the money. "Oh, you best be careful, kid. There was a fire at that orphanage, not fire minutes ago."

Naruto smirked inwardly at this, he was the one who caused the fire, right when he was in that Tower hidden from plain sight. Naruto then feign ignorance and put on a mask of shock at the comment.

"A fire?" said Naruto in mock shock.

"That's right," said Teuchi clearing the counter. "Personally, I never liked that old hag who run that pathetic excuse of an orphanage, it should've been knocked down and renovated. But those poor orphans, they never stood a chance the flamed caused them to spontaneously combust."

"I see," said Naruto before he stands up from his chair, but Teuchi continues.

"and this wasn't the first time it happened, though" said Teuchi, this caught Naruto's attention. "5 years ago, numerous fires were caused all around the Land of Fire, if you can see the humorous irony. Survivors who witnessed this went insane, rabbling about fiery red demons with black Ram horns and glowing underbellies."

Naruto raised his brow at this, it seems that his hidden attack on Konoha revealed some useful information. And this conversation is also got someone elses interest.

"Master, can you hear me. It's Gnarl" The voice of Gnarl is echoing in Naruto's head. "The Tower Heart has linked you to the tower so we can communicate. The Human gave you the description of the Reds. Everything will be explained later, but I suggest that you ask him for more about the Reds."

Gnarl does have a point; the Reds are part of the Overlord's army and they will be beneficial to him. So, Naruto decided to use his Silver Tongue skill on Teuchi to get more information, and due to the relationship status with Teuchi, the Silver Tongue skill is successful.

"And what happened to those survivors?" asked Naruto

"Kami knows, the Fire Daimyo and the Hokage kept it a secret from the civilians" said Teuchi "But Sarutobi did somehow told me one, when he got drunk during his birthday. All I know is that the survivors are confined in some hospital funded by the Fire Daimyo. Also, the Daimyo and Sarutobi are old drinking buddies while I use to work as an ANBU bodyguard over the years… (ah, good times)"

"Also, Sire, I suggest that you return to the tower for your training. There are some active waypoints in the village, I'm sure you know where to find them with your "gift"."

Map updated: Waypoint locations

Naruto opens up the map of Konoha's Civilian District and saw blue dots randomly around the map, along with other symbols like an Orange Spiral next to an icon that looks like a bow of Ramen with chopsticks. He looks down at the Legend icon list underneath the map to see that these icons represent.

Legend Icons

Blue Dot: Waypoint Gate

"Fire" Kanji: Hokage

Ramen Bowl: Ichiraku Ramen

Kunai: Higurashi Ninja Supplies

Orange Spiral: Naruto Uzumaki

Tower: Dark Tower

A Waypoint Gate is nearby, very convenient for the blonde for and after having his Ramen.

"I gotta go, I need to start training" said Naruto getting up from his seat.

"Training?" said Ayame curiously. "Are you planning to be a ninja, Naruto-kun?"

"Uh huh," said Naruto responding Ayame's answer with a nod. "I need to be a ninja if I want to be Hokage."

Ayame only giggled at Naruto, admiring his enthusiasm and determination.

"Okay then, have fun" said Ayame as the Blonde take his leave. After Naruto left, she turns to her father. "Er, Tou-san, can I be excused?"

Teuchi nods at her daughter and she rushes to the back room.

"Poor girl, her "heritage" must be hard to resist," said Teuchi while a message box reads Ramen Master appears. Teuchi presses Exit and sighs irritably. "It's a real nuisance, but at least I used it well to start my own Ramen Business."

Dark Tower: Evil Gardens

Naruto immediately returned to the Dark Tower and started his training in a section known as the Evil Gardens, where it's behind the throne room and outside but within the tower walls. The flora around is dark, sinister, but beautiful as it's deadly with it's red and black roses, overgrowing but thriving vines on partially broken statues with amputated arms and pure horror frozen on their faces, also with rusting kunai, shuriken embedded in them and/or kusarigama chains wrapped around their necks.

A small pond covered in lilipads and algae, a couple of croaking poisonous bullfrogs catching scurrying mice and flying starlings to eat whole. And a large, intimidating tree with black leaves and a stone bench in front of it.

A fine garden for an evil Overlord, and a best way to pass some extra time too since gardening is Naruto's favourite hobbies.

Gnarl the Minion Master was waiting for Naruto to start the training.

"Ah, good we can start your training" said Gnarl as he saw Naruto arrive at the gardens. "Please take a seat on the bench, we can start with some meditation"

Naruto tilts his head in confusion at this.

"Meditation?" said Naruto "Why do I need to do some meditation?"

Gnarl noticed the confusion on Naruto's face and chuckles.

"Because sire, this part of the training will help increase your focus and concentration when you're using magic, jutsu and minion control." Said Gnarl, "An Overlord isn't just some strong warrior, he is focused, skilled, magical, and it takes a lot of magic and chakra to use powerful spells and Chakra. Unfortunately, we cannot increase your Mana reserves since we need the Tower's mana runes, but we can help you with your Chakra control, especially when you have an infinite source of Chakra inside you.

So, if you don't mind, please sit down and start meditating."

Naruto is still unclear about the purpose of meditation in this Overlord Training, but Gnarl is the only wisest of the minions (since the entire minion tribe has no wisdom in them whatsoever), Naruto sat on the bench and gets into his meditating pose. At first, Naruto thinks this is utterly ridiculous and decided not to train with Gnarl, until suddenly he can feel his mind clearing up and leaving the real world, the voice of Juubi echoes in his ears and swore he can feel it's slender feminine arms caress his bare chest from behind, despite being fully clothed.

"Hello, Naruto-kun"

Naruto suddenly wakes up, but no longer in the Dark Tower's Garden but in some vast ancient temple. the temple floor is flooded, walls has unique, beautiful carvings that tells an ancient story, but it is partially covered in moss and vines with bloomed flowers. In the centre of the temple is the Juubi, in its humanoid form, tails chained to stone demon heads on the walls. While it's wrists and ankles are bonded. It raised its head to look at Naruto before it channels its chakra to shatter the bonds restraining it. It crawls towards the blond circles behind him before placing its feminine claws gently on his shoulder.

"Just in time, I have a gift for you here" said Juubi recently blinked its single eye. "Clearly you have some… minigames locked up in here for you play. Beneficial for your meditation and chakra control"

Juubi stretched its left hand and the area changes into a courtyard with pulleys, conveyor belts and trapdoors. A Message box appears in front of Naruto and Juubi.

Minigame: Juubi's Ninja Execution

Start Minigame

Naruto was a bit surprised at this, but he couldn't help but press Start as he couldn't say no to a minigame. Suddenly the mechanisms around the courtyards suddenly turn on, revealing beaten up Shinobi from all the Hidden Villages from Konoha to Iwa. Juubi slight tighten her grip on Naruto's shoulder and unconsciously massaging them and a pair of black Gudodamas appear hovering next to Naruto.

"Okay, allow me to give you the tutorial of this little game I made up for you" said Juubi "You will remain in this spot and use only these two Gudodamas to execute as many Shinobi Prisoners within a time limit. This will help you improve your control on the Gudodama you just recently learned.

Now about the Targets, since you'll be a war against ALL the Shinobi Nations, I thought it would be…appropriate to design the targets as the Shinobi of the Hidden Villages. Each has an individual score point.

Genin: 1 Pt

Chunnin: 2 pts

Jonin: 5pts

ANBU: 7pts

Sannin: 12 Pts

Kage: 20 pts

Plus, there is some bonus Hero Targets worth 50pt, but they are tough and great resistance against the Gudodama.

The time limit is 10 minutes, try and get as many you can. If you beat the high score, I'll give you a special reward.

SIDE QUEST: Ninja-cidal maniac

Naruto decided to check the score of this minigame and the results are jawdropping.

LEADERBOARD

Kaguya Ootsutsuki: 4'000'000 pts

Hagoromo Ootsutsuki: 3'750'000 pts

Black Baron of Greenvale: 3'950'000 pts

Hamura Ootsutsuki: 3'500'000 pts

Indra Uchiha Ootsutsuki: 3'200'000 pts

Infernal God: 3'100'000 pts

Fourth Overlord: 2'875'000 pts

Hashirama Senju: 2'750'000 pts

Madara Uchiha: 2'750'000 pts

"How on Earth can they manage to get this many in such a short time?" said Naruto as he saw the scoreboard." Said Naruto until he realised something. "Wait, even the Overlord's know Gudodama?"

"No, they used their magic, remember that the Overlords were around before Kaa-san's time" said Juubi

"Oh right" said Naruto

"Anyway, do you want to start the game?"

Yes

No

Naruto immediately pressed Yes and a time suddenly appears with 10 minutes on the clock.

Naruto tries to make his Gudodama to strike the revealing targets on the mechanisms, but he is having trouble controlling them, as if they are on inverted control. Eventually he manages to get them to go where he wanted them to, but it wasted seconds of his limited time. The Gudodamas are flying and hitting the targets like a barrage of cannonballs, although some targets takes more than one hit to destroy them.

Naruto frowns as he is trying to hit as many as he can when the clock has only 5 minutes left. He harnesses more chakra to increase more Gudodamas but cannot make more, only 2 is all he can produce.

TIMES UP!

Score: 10'563

Naruto deadpans at this and drops his head in anger and shame.

"Is that all I got in 10 minutes?" said Naruto "I really do need training"

Juubi gives the blonde a reassuring rub on his shoulders.

"That's the purpose of the minigame, it's designed to show you how much you good your control of the Gudodamas is, I noticed that you had some trouble on making them function." said Juubi

"But that about the Gudodama that destroyed the farm on the previous quest?" said Naruto

"That was only a happy accident when your developed the ability to use this jutsu" said Juubi "You only produced two Gudodamas while Kaa-san could easily produce dozens at once, fuse them together, reshape them into terrifying weapons or simply rain them down on mere cities, kingdoms and even obliterate nations. There is no shame in that first score you made, Naruto-kun, it takes time to master the Gudodama, and fortunately time goes fast when you're having fun. And to make you feel better, I will give you some exp per 1000 points you made."

For your first time and effort, 500exp gained by Juubi

"Now then, shall we try again?" said Juubi to Naruto

Yes

No

"Oh goody, I'll just freshen up the vic…per I mean targets for you" said Juubi

Time-skip: 6 minigames tries later

Naruto has been playing/training in the Minigame 6 more times, and every go he makes, he makes good progress. Although Naruto is still far away from reaching the top 10 on the scoreboard, he did notice how different his control on the Gudodamas are. They are faster, denser, and increased in numbers from 2 to 3. It's slow progress but it's getting there.

The minigame is getting more fun and Naruto is getting more determined to reach the score despite not reaching his first million points on his score.

Second Game Score: 11'233

Third Game Score: 12'445

Fourth Game Score: 12' 332

Fifth Game Score: 12'677

Sixth Game Score: 15'224

Seventh Game Score: 15'444

Playing 6 more games in a row is starting to drain Naruto's mental energy as his mental body is showing fatigue and collapse on his knees. Luckily he finished the seventh game before he could drop down. Juubi notices this and decided to end the minigame once and for all, the area returns to back to the Temple area and Juubi is back in chains.

"That will be all for now, Naruto-kun" said Juubi "We'll continue your training on developing your chakra control and your Gudodama control also. But if you have more Jutsus unlocked and learned, I'll create more minigames for you to test them on. Ja ne"

Naruto regained conscious and suddenly feels tired from Chakra exhaustion, he tries to get up but he is having trouble since the low chakra level in his system betraying him.

"Damn, that was intense" said Naruto slowly getting on his feet, but struggling to stay in balance. "I need a nap."

"Of course, sire" said Gnarl "that's understanding since you've been in a meditated state for 3 hours straight. We'll resume the next stage of the training after your nap.

Later on

MP Restored

Naruto is back in the garden and ready to do his next part of the training. This time, it will be physical since Naruto is equipped with Sting and a Kunai. Gnarl beings explaining this part of the training to him.

"This next part of the training will help improve your combat skills," said Gnarl while a Brown in a Jester's hat appears at the Garden. "Jester here will be your training dummy for the rest of the afternoon. Now here is what you need to do…

QUEST UPDATE

Master Gudodama

Make Jester suffer

Naruto smiles as he unsheathes Sting to begin the his "match" on the Minion Jester. Naruto uses Observe on the Minion Jester to see his bio and Stats.

Minion Jester

Bio: Just a simple-minded minion assigned to be the court jester for the Overlord. But honestly, it's just a waste of space and only useful for "Anger Management" for the Overlord. Although incompetent and annoying, he is hardy and can take a punch and a kick from his abusive master.

Status: Half as yours.

Naruto raised his brow at this and starts charging at the Jester and slashes it with Sting. Jester suddenly starts to scream in agony as the metal from the glowing blue swords causes a burning, stinging sensation on every slash. But the slashes keep going on that the training dummy…er, I mean Minion Jester. But the Jester is still alive and kicking, still taunting the young Overlord.

"Ha, ha, I had papercuts more lethal than your cuts" taunts the Jest, although his body betrays him when the true signs of pain is obviously clear to everyone. "The pain is nothing, I once dove in a pool of lemon juice and salt compare to this itchy feeling you're giving me"

Naruto frowned as he raised his gauntlet to summon his minions to assist him. The summoned minions are so eager to punish the Jester for insulting their master, and Naruto happily obliged them to do the honour while stabbing and slashing more at the Jester.

The sight of this is quite entertaining for the Minion Master, he just sits on the stone bench with a cup of swamp bile tea and some beetle biscuits to snack on while Naruto resumes the tor…training from the Jester.

Time-skip

Naruto kept training until the Brown Minion Jester is now black and blue, apparently Minion blood is black. But as it suddenly turns midnight, the training has come to a halt and Naruto is feeling tired.

Quest Ends: Rests at noon

Naruto sighed as he didn't complete the quest, but glad to know that he can start again. He finishes by kicking the limping and wounded Jester away and decides to have Ramen at Ichiraku's for dinner tonight, the tower's kitchens are desolate and cold since the staff in charge of the Kitchens, the Reds, are nowhere to be seen.

"Gnarl, I'm off to get a bite to eat," said Naruto to the Minion master. "Clean up the gardens while I'm out"

"Of course, sire" said Gnarl bowing to Naruto while he leaves the now destroyed Garden, the Gardens is ruined from the aftermath of the training. The cocky jester got too cocky and suffered for it, it tried to run away, hide in the flora but nothing escapes the Overlord's wrath and it results in the pitiful state it's in now. Gnarl turns to the whimpering Jester and shook his head at it. "This may take a while, but it's gonna be quite entertaining to watch."

Ichiraku Ramen

Naruto arrived at Ichiraku Ramen and already ordered a few bowls of steaming hot Ramen. But only Ayame is at the Ramen Bar since Teuchi is out for the night and tonight is Ayame's midnight shift. Ichiraku Ramen still opens late so that Ninjas returning from their mission stop by to have a snack or get a bite to eat before leaving for missions.

Ichiraku Ramen is busy tonight, and usually Naruto doesn't come, not just because it's past hi bedtime, but because the customers aren't that pleased to see him here. But Naruto decided to go in anyway, not giving a damn on what those arseholes think.

Naruto can hear hateful murmurs from the customers, mostly ninjas who came back from their mission. But Naruto only focused on his Ramen and not giving a damn on what the complaining dickheads are saying. However, Ayame isn't happy at what her customers are muttering about, talking behind Naruto's bat and sneaking hateful glares at the boy. Normally she just wanted to whack them with a ladle or a rolling pin, but she must be professional in her work and not ruin her father's business.

"I'll have another bowl, please" said Naruto

"Sure thing," said Ayame until she saw that she has no more noodles left. "Damn, I need to make more noodles. Sorry about this, I need to make some more."

"Sure thing, I can wait," said Naruto smiling at Ayame.

Ayame nods at Naruto and heads to the back room make more noodles. Leaving Naruto alone in the counter with unwanted company. The customers saw this as an opportunity and approach Naruto, all pulling out kunai, tantos and some broke sake bottles to form a make-shift shiv.

"You shouldn't be here, boy" said a random chunnin, attempting to threat Naruto by stabbing the counter. "especially at night."

Naruto remains waiting for Ayame and paid no attention to the now formed mob of ninja surrounding him.

"This is the only time we get to have Ichiraku Ramen and you had to be here, tainting the food with your filthy presence"

"We all can have Ichiraku Ramen anytime" said Naruto calmly while twirling his chopsticks. "And I will not have shit from you guy anymore."

"What you say, boy?!"

Naruto sighed while he stands up and faces the mob.

"I ain't going to run away from you anymore, I figured it out and I believe y'all are idiots who can tell a cup and water apart." Said Naruto

"We ain't talking about a drink, brat"

"I rest my case," said Naruto crossing his arms "I you failed to see the metaphor, then you all are complete idiots."

"Oh, that is it, drag him out!"

The mob then suddenly drags the blond out of Ichiraku Ramen and into the dark alley. They toss him in the dark while pulling out their already bloodied weapons. Naruto only got up but kept his head low in darkness.

"I think we'll end your pitiful existence, demon"

Naruto only chuckled and pull down his goggles before activating his Sharingan. He uses Observe to view their stats.

Konoha Chunnin

Bio: Middle class ninja of Konoha, they have some shinobi experience and served Konoha for only a few years in their service as ninja. Stronger and experienced than Genin, but they have so much to learn. They are only capable for C-B class missions, but don't underestimate them.

LV: 10

HP: 600

Chakra: 600

Exp: 50

Strength: 500

Defence: 600

Dexterity: 60

Intelligence: 60

Wisdom: 70

Constitution: 30

Charisma: 50

Luck: 17

Speed: 155

Skill: Teams- when there are 3 Genin and one Chunnin, all stats get a 10% boost

Chunnin Exams veteran- for every Genin, all stats get a 25% boost

Excellent thought Naruto scoffing at the mob while he draws out Sting and raise his gauntlet high to summon his minions. The group of Chunnin got the shock of their lives when they saw those foul creatures emerge from the ground, trapping them in this dark alley.

"You think I'm a demon in human form?" said Naruto as he raised his head with his concealed Sharingan blazing at the mob. "I have 2 things to say to comfirm your idiocy. 1. I am a human vessel, a Jinchuriki. And 2. What I have sealed in me isn't a Demon, It's a God. Minion!"

Pre-emptive attack!

The minions charge at the Chunnin while Naruto blends in the darkness.

"And it's time to be punished for your sins against me!" Naruto's voice suddenly changes into something malevolent and bone chilling.

"Kill him!"

The mob charges at Naruto concealed in the shadows, but they didn't hit him as he wasn't the the moment he stepped into the shadows. Leaving only the minions who now tackled at few on the ground and stabbing repeatedly with hand me down weapons they scavenged from the dead. Some who are quick and agile managed to evade the tackling minions and counteracted with shuriken and kunai to their heads, instantly killing them.

"The demon can wait, kill these monsters first, they'll die like their Red friends"

"Red friends, so you know where they are?"

Naruto's voice is heard but the mob cannot see him, or sense him. Apparently, Naruto has hidden his Charka signature.

Sweet thought Naruto as he appears to be on the rooftops, watching his minions fight the Mob. However, the battle is short-lived as the surviving members of the "Fox-hunting" mob disposed of the minions. "Typical, but at least they managed to make it easy for me. They are Chunnin, by the way."

Naruto pull over his hood, draw out Sting and jump off the roof and plunged Sting into one of the Chunnin he landed. The remaining mob is startled by this, surprised that a child took down a Chunnin, although that Chunnin was weakened by fighting off Naruto's minion hoard.

Naruto chuckled maliciously while channelling mana into his gauntlet clad hand and forms a fireball on his palm.

"Burn" said Naruto casting his fire spell at the Chunnin.

The Chunnins never reacted fast enough as the spell is fast and suddenly engulfs them in flames, they scream in pain and each try to douse the flames with their water jutsus.

"AAAGGGHHH!" one of the Chunnin runs away, still on fire. Screaming in agony and for help. "HELP ME!"

Naruto smirks while they slowly incinerate to ash. But he must dispose of the bodies, leave no evidence and remain hidden is key of being a ninja? Especially when you're in enemy territory.

Naruto sighed and smiled triumphantly at his victory. Then suddenly he remembered that he has more Ramen to eat and leaves the alley to resume his midnight snacks. But while he is halfway to Ichiraku, Naruto stops as a lone figure is stood between his path. The streets are dark with the lack of lighting from the street lamps, which appear to be extinguished, until a half moon appears through the dark clouds to reveal the stranger. A young teenage kunoichi in ANBU attire with long raven hair tied to a ponytail and face concealed in a Weasel ANBU mask.

Then behind Naruto appears another young Teenage ANBU, but male, has messy raven hair and wears an Otter ANBU mask.

"Staying up at night and already picking fights with Konoha's finest Chunnin already, Naruto Uzumaki" said the Weasel masked ANBU "You're lucky the Hokage is already fast asleep to even feel that disturbance."

"Indeed," said the Otter masked ANBU slowly sheathing a tanto while the Weasel Masked ANBU does the same. "But you should be up this late, there's a mandate curfew on non-shinobi civilians around Konoha's civilian district. And we're ordered to arrest those who are breaking curfew"

"But that's not the case, children in general aren't supposed to be up at this hour" said the Weasel Masked ANBU

"Hey, I can stay up whenever I want, Itachi-san" said Naruto, knowing the ANBU's codename "You're not my mother"

"No, I'm not. But I do wish me just like her though" said Itachi smiling under her mask. "She was a great Kunoichi, even rivals Tsunade-sama through strength, reputation and beauty."

"As I'm told, but you never told me who she is" said Naruto frowning at the ANBU

"You know well why I can't tell you that, now go back home or I'll have no choice but to incarcerate you and report it to Hokage-sama" said Itachi

Naruto frowned at the 2 ANBU while automatically used Observe on them.

ANBU: Itachi

Bio: One of the ANBU that Naruto trusted and one of the few who don't see Naruto as a demon. Hokage Sarutobi assigned Itachi, along with a few other ANBU keep an eye on Naruto if he ever gets into trouble, but doesn't report EVERYTHING to him. Which is why Naruto trusts Itachi.

Relationship: Neutral

ANBU: Kawauso

Bio: ANBU Itachi's partner and another ANBU that Naruto trusts, Kawauso is skilled in the Shushin technique. And like Itachi, he doesn't see Naruto as the Kyuubi that attacked Konoha 10 years ago.

Relationship: Neutral

Naruto agrees with the bios in the Observe, Naruto trusts Itachi and Otta since they only observe but bails him when he gets in trouble. They are like older siblings to Naruto, always there and taking care of him when the Hokage is out of reach. Itachi speaks highly of Naruto's mother, but never tells him who she is, only that she is a great, powerful Kunoichi that rivals the Slug Sannin Tsunade in strength, skill, reputation and beauty.

But what's more worrying that these 2 ANBU will be constantly keeping an eye on him, making his quest and "Game" more complicated. Especially when he secretly commited arson on the Konoha Orphanage and massacred a whole mob of Chunnin. Sure, Itachi and Kawauso tends to "look the other way", but to ignore a heinous crime like murdering Konoha Shinobi would count as treason. And if they did, then this might change Naruto's point of view about them to a different level.

"Well, are you going to go home or do we have to force you?" said Itachi

Go Home

Refuse

"Alright, fine" said Naruto with annoyance as he chooses to go home. "No need to be hostile on me."

Itachi and Kawauso's Relationship improves

Oh, shut up Naruto mentally cursed at the message box.

While Naruto departs to the apartment, the ANBU remains in the middle of the street and facing each other.

"You think we should tell him the truth?" asked Kawauso

"Too soon, it appears that Naruto is not yet ready to know" said Itachi, who suddenly sees a Message Box in front of her.

Naruto Uzumaki

Bio: Son of ##### and #####, jinchuriki of the "Kyuubi" and Pariah of Konoha. This young boy is hated mostly by all by the foolish civilians and shinobi blinded with anger and grief. He has a legacy that he does not know yet, but isn't ready to know it.

"It's quite impressive that he managed to take down an equivalent of 3 squadron of Chunnin at that level. Like mother like son." Said Itachi

"If only she were here to see it, she'd be proud" said Kawauso

"No doubt about," said Itachi sheathing her tanto, a glow of red beams out through the mask eye slits. "Soon, both of us will avenge her, and all must die for it."
