Chapter 8
Naruto's apartment
Shirou leans forward on the couch with a can of Nuka Cola in hand and concern in his mind. Reading Akenomyosei's Shinobi Scroll, discovering who he was also revealed something else that his Father didn't like. He can tell by the silence and calm demeanor, but Naruto was far from calm. The Auburn-haired Overlord sighs took a drink from his can.
Maybe I should tell Tou-san about my past too, from what I can remember and what could possibly happen on my end. Thought Shirou to himself. ChaosSonic once said that some of the points in life like my sealed memories are all fixed. Damn it, it's so hard to talk to him about this.
Shirou suddenly recall what chaos told him about mana circuits linking from his first training.
"Mana circuits are basically a person's experience, if you like them you will share memories or experience."
Shirou then realized that's it I must link my mana circuits with his. My relationship with my father from my fragmented past was a good one. Plus, I rekindled our relationship with our mutual alliance. This will work for both of us, grow strong together against our enemies.
Shirou stands up from the couch, finishes up his can and tosses it in the bin.
"I might as well go look for him then" said Shirou which he suddenly he receives a call.
Chaossonic Calling
Shirou answers the call.
"Chaos-sensei" said Shirou "I assume that you're ready"
That's right, I need you and Naruto back to the Nexus. But make sure you're rested and eat hearty for this training will be tiring afterwards
"Understood" said Shirou before ending the call. "Right now, where would you be?"
Gates of Hell
Naruto is not having a good day. Ever since his recent discovery about his father being the Yondaime Hokage, the infamous Multigamer AND the fact responsible for Konoha's hostility against him, Naruto is clouded with anger and depression. Now he sits by the counter his head rest from a powerful influence of intoxication, normally kids wouldn't be allowed to drink underage, but Naruto is a Gamer and the Overlord, so all laws have no hold on him, one of the quirks of being Yami's champion. But not only that, Naruto was in fact drinking ROOT BEER, which is non-alcoholic but apparently and strangely has its effects on him.
"Hate my life now" Naruto slurred pathetically "I thought being an overlord would be a fresh start in life, to help me forget the past tragedies from my miserable childhood. But then suddenly I find out that I'm the FUCKING BASTARD of Konoha's FUCKING Hero. The "Legendary Yellow Flash" Minato Namikaze."
Rodin merely listens while resuming his shift in his establishment, pouring more root beer. The Demon Bartender was amused at this discovery and couldn't believe it.
Damn, and I thought Noire was bad thought Rodin But then again, I think the kid needs it after what he learned. Maybe he needs some cheering up.
Naruto groans pathetically as he remains in this position while grabbing a fresh glass of Root Beer. Suddenly the lights dim down, and beautiful music begins to place, time for Hinata's beautiful performance.
Naruto turns to watch her, for something about her is alluring. Sure, one of the reasons of being here is her but he is more drawn to her by her beautiful singing.
Song: Calling to the Night Playing
Through the night to the day
When everything is gone
Carry this soul away from the dry lands
In the sun we see fighting over lines
All our dreams and wishes we sent home for safe keeping
Fighting for what's right
Calling to the night
To dream again in the light
Waiting for a storm to rise
Feel the isolation fleeting
Calling to the night
To be or not to be fighting here
Leaving without you, leaving my soul behind
Calling to the night
Colors of kodachrome fade with time
Calling to the night
For us, for every single life
All the ashes of men remain as a perfect memory
Calling to the night
But the heart will remain
As a silhouette of time
Hear the ringing echoes in the splitting horizon
Calling to the night
Naruto applauds clumsily at Hinata, she blushes with embarrassment and looked away.
"Hey, you wanna drink?" said Naruto as he offers "My treat"
Hinata blushes deeper at Naruto's offer, but it would be rude to refuse him. She approaches Naruto and sat next to him.
"You sang wonderfully, if would be a shame if you don't wet your whistle now and then." Said Naruto "So what will you have."
"Just a water, please" said Hinata nervously.
"Water?" said Naruto, still drunk and now shocked at Hinata's choice of beverage. "Sure, water is important, but I insist on something else. It's my treat, and we are all Gamers."
"Water is fine, for now" said Hinata "Just to hydrate myself."
"Ok" said Naruto as he shrugs while turning to Rodin "A glass of your coolest water, please."
"Sure thing" said Rodin as he takes a glass and wills it with water. "Here you go, Hinata"
"Thank you, Rodin" said Hinata as she took a few swigs from her glass and wipe her face with a handkerchief, manners and Etiquette are still in her due to her being from the "Noble" Hyūga Family.
"Can I ask you something?" said Naruto "How do you get such a beautiful singing voice? I mean, I hadn't heard it before in my life.
"Well, I did practice." Said Hinata "But in truth, I hardly sing since Tou…Hiashi forbade me from it. Saying that it's a waste of time and I should be training to be a Hyūga ninja or I'll be…marked into the Side Branch or married off into another clan to politically strengthen the Hyūgas."
Though drunk on root beer, Naruto is still listening and focused on Hinata for being with her made things clear to the Overlord, even her beautiful voice is audible for his intoxicated brain.
"Bah, fathers are the worst" said Naruto drinking his root beer "I had a few encounters with them. And I am happy to face them again."
"What do you mean?" said Hinata
Naruto sighs as he put away his glass.
"I mean that in the past, I had to a lot of shit against the bastards who either lost their children or wanted to protect their children from a Demon like me." Said Naruto "Also, I found out why Konoha hated me, and my father was to blame"
"Who was your father?" said Hinata
Naruto scoffs in laughter, but it wasn't meant to antagonize Hinata. Luckily Hinata knew Naruto would be rude.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you" said Naruto "Especially when I'm drunk on, can you believe it, root beer."
Hinata is still nervous but mustered up her courage and confidence she developed with her training and performance in the Gates of Hell.
"T-Try me" said Hinata
Naruto raised his brow at Hinata and impressed with her.
"Alright, come closer" said Naruto moving his finger in a come-hither gesture.
Hinata blushes as she moves closer to Naruto, he then moves his lips toward her left ear and whispered the name of his father. She widens her pearl-like eyes and looked at Naruto in disbelieve, this only made Naruto laugh.
"Told you" said Naruto whilst laughing. "But it doesn't matter now, the bastard's dead now and martyred by this bloody hell hole."
Naruto took one gulp from his glass sighs deeply with satisfaction, he turns to Hinata.
"I'm sorry, I did mean to be rude" said Naruto "I like you and your singing is beautiful. SO I was wondering, if you do mind…"
"what?" said Hinata
"Well I was wondering, if you want, we could hang out" said Naruto "Do quests, train together and start out as friend? I have no one right now and HATE being alone now."
Hinata blushes in shock at this, her lips tremble and started fidgeting her hands, she hesitates to speak but Naruto is patient as, while still intoxicated, understands her reluctances.
"It ok not to speak now" said Naruto as he stands up and place his pay on the counter. "Right now, I have things to do. Hope to see you again"
Naruto took Hinata's hand and kissed it, and that caused Hinata's blushing to overheat and shut down, her head lands on the counter. Her face red like a cherry and her eyes swirling in dizziness, overwhelmed with embarrassment and the fact that Naruto kissed her, though only on her hand. Naruto chuckled at this and wobbles out towards the front door.
But as he is about to open it, Shirou walks in and both Overlords stand face to face.
"I told you to leave me" said Naruto
"Chaos-sensei called" said Shirou "His training session is ready and is waiting for us."
"Really?" said Naruto "Then let's *hic* go"
"I don't think so" said Shirou stopping the blonde "You're in no position to train right now. You're drunk."
"Only on Root Beer!" exclaimed Naruto while wobbling around until he loses balance and collapses on the floor. "Now I know why Noire is like it *hic*, still puzzle me how she and I can get drunk on the stuff. There isn't any alcohol in it. Oh well"
Shirou sighs at this and picks up the intoxicated blonde and carries him over his shoulders.
"Come on, Naruto" said Shirou until he also noticed the faint Hinata on the counter. The auburn-haired teen frowns and looks over at the intoxicated Overlord. "you got her drunk too?"
"Who, Hinata?" said Naruto over Shirou's shoulders. "Nah, I only kissed her hand and it overwhelmed her. So adorable, especially when I suggested that we start out as friends and not to pressure her with the further up step."
Shirou inwardly sighs and smiles at this, relieved that his past mother is ok.
"Alright, lets get you detoxed and rested." Said Shirou while leaving the Gates of Hell "Chaos-sensei will not be happy with us being a day late…but I could use a day off myself."
"I love you, sochi" Naruto slurs deeply, now that he is further away from Hinata.
"Oh, shut up" said Shirou, though touch by Naruto's drunk words. Love you to, Tou-san
Next day: Naruto's apartment.
Hangover effect: active
Naruto groans as he woke up in his own bed, the hangover pounds his head like a Taiko Drum and every sound would be loud like a pair of cymbals crashing into each other.
"Ow, my head" said Naruto as he carefully and quietly gets out of bed. Suddenly the smell of something cooking hit his nose and he leaves the bedroom to see Shirou cooking breakfast in the kitchen. "Morning"
"Ah, you're awake" said Shirou "How are you?"
"Not good" said Naruto holding his head painfully, the sizzling is so loud in his ears, comparing to a sound ten thousand maracas obnoxiously rattling around him. "Yami, my head."
"Still hung over, huh?" said Shirou as he prepares a place. "Well this might help; a full English Breakfast works wonders for a hangover."
"Really?" said Naruto as he starts to eat this foreign breakfast, though greasy it is delicious. "Mmm, such flavor."
Hangover canceled
Shirou then said "oh would you look at that"
Naruto then asked "Seriously Shirou how did you become a great cook?"
"Well it was thanks to Madam Ayame if I could remember as while my memory is fragmented, I do remember that you and all your mistresses homeschooled us in our gamer abilities and that you even gave us pointers and were there for us when we needed trouble." Shirou said with happiness
That made Naruto happy that he will be a great father then his normal father just made him endure hell. Then he realized what Shirou said
"Wait fragmented? What do you mean?"
That made Shirou a little sad "One of your kids basically, he is exactly like how Ryo acts, you even treated him like what a father should."
"Who is he?" said Naruto
Shirou frowns at this and sighs.
"I rather not say, actually I cannot say" said Shirou "After our last encounter, he managed to make me forget his name so that I couldn't seek him out for revenge."
That sounds like the curse I placed on Fugaku thought Naruto
"Why would he betray his own?" said Naruto
"We never got along, but deep down he hated me and the rest of my siblings" said Shirou until he chuckles. "But there is one that he's more terrified of than the rest of us. And it taught a valuable lesson when I saw what that arsehole did."
"Like what?" said Naruto
"Involved a pink teddy bear" said Shirou "An argument got out of hand and ended up with it torn apart."
Shirou shudders in fear at the scene.
"Never have I felt such murderous intent from her, and I was next be Overlord" said Shirou, a cold chill run down his spine and his skin covered in goosebumps. "Luckily I didn't anger her, but to see her this angry, Oh Yami."
Naruto feels a bit nervous now, to hear about his future daughter be more terrifying and even scare Shirou to death. And now he can image what scene will be like. Shudder the thought.
"L-Let's just finish off this breakfast and be on our way" said Naruto
"hai" said Shirou, glad that Naruto dropped the subject before he starts having flashbacks. But he could still hear the voice of her younger sibling, all playful and creepy.
Onii-chan, where are you?
Shudder the thought, which SHirou did.
Nexus
After breakfast, Naruto returns to he nexus to start his next training with Chaossonic. Shirou joins him also as he too might learn what the world maker has in store for the Overlord.
"Ah now you two showed up, Kaito owes me 10 bucks American and more of that story now." Chaos said as they entered the Nexus
"Wait Chaos-sama you knew we were going to be late?" Shirou asked
"Yes as I figure that since Naruto was sulking about what he discovered that Minato was his father just like in most mutiverses."
This caused Naruto to ask, "You knew the 4th was my father!?"
"It was only a guess,, as the thing is with the multiverse some elements can be like what they are here or different the thing is as I said before every part of the multiverse is different that was what the mirror of Probability shows, as there are different Overlords and some of them are versions of you that YinShadow has created for your destiny with the Overlords, one where you ruled a city of darkness plaguing the Shinobi Nations just like what you plan now but destroyed Konoha in the progress, the one where Iruka was from. The next where your hatred of Konoha was so great and plotted to destroy it after your tolerance to the village finally halted, gaining a unique elemental release in the progress. And there is the recent other one where both Minato and Kushina were descendants of the 4th Overlord becoming both the Dright lord and Dark lord and as their son, you set to make the choice for the Overlord's rule."
Naruto and Shirou was at awe at what Chaos had said
"Hell, there was the world both Yin and I made where even if you were not the overlord you were still an ally to the overlord with you as a Kitsune Hanyou, a trsuted friend and ally to one of my favorite Overlords, the InuOverlord. But that is a story for another time, my point is your father and uncle might have ruined your life but we chose our own destiny we let out past shape us, but we don't let it define us we embrace our past and use it to shape our future." Chaos said with pride
Naruto felt moved and ready to be an overlord to make Konoha suffer from under his foot.
Chaos then said, "So now your training, the mirror is already active now I want you to fight both Shirou and your mirror doppelganger."
Naruto and Shirou which said "wait what?"
"You heard me I have a feeling you know about the Shadow clones' potential that any information you take will head straight back to you, right Naruto?"
Naruto which said "Yes but …"
"And that is why you can use that to your full advantage, to be the strongest Ninja ever, that pedo-snake never even realized the potential of learning every jutsu was right under his nose the whole time, the shadow clone Jutsu."
That was when something clicked in Naruto's brain "You mean if I used by clones to study the forbidden scroll then I can learn everything in there?"
"Correct, as there was a reason why the jutsu is forbidden, just no one realized it's potential. As for fighting Shirou, I planned on you linking your mana circuits together and so far the best way to do that is for you to fight each other. However, I want your clone to fight him and you to fight the Mirror's reflection."
"Ok then." Naruto shrugs his shoulders as it makes no difference, plus the idea of using the Shadow Clones full potential is indeed beneficial.
"Oh, and I will give you a lesson on mana transfer later."
"Wait why?"
"Never mind, I guess I will tell you since you asked, tell him Shirou."
Shirou then said a little embarrassed "Mana or Magical power is prone to merge with the fluids (such as blood, sweat, tears, saliva or semen) of the magus, and these fluids are good at holding in magical energy for some time even after leaving the body. Because of this, by drinking a magus' blood, one can replenish one's magical power. But sometimes semen is just as effective."
That caused Naruto to redden "Which means Sex."
"Trust me with the mana transfer, we are only doing it if you are in deep danger and food doesn't work." Said Chaossonic before looking at the 4th wall to the readers of this fic. "and ONLY THE BLOOD VERSION, NOTHING ELSE YOU CRAZY YAOI FANGIRLS."
Shirou and Naruto sweat drop Shirou asking, "Who are you talking to?"
Chaos quickly said "Just something I had to clarify to make sure on something. Now then time to go to the training grounds."
Chaos opens a door and a field that seems to be hanging with a Mirror on the side of the entrance covered
Chaos which said "The training grounds are like the hyperbolic time chamber from the DBZ world, only you don't age but it still works the same. So, Naruto care to start?"
Naruto did some hand signs and said "Right Kage Bunshin no Jutsu."
Creating a second Naruto in front of Shirou.
Chaos then said, "Naruto when you are ready, go to the Mirror and I will uncover it."
Are you Ready?
Yes
No
Naruto pressed Yes and Chaossonic pulls down the covers. Naruto stands in front of the mirror and looks at his reflection.
As the Overlord's reflection is formed in the mirror, it remains identical for a few seconds before the mirror darkens. Naruto gets ready for anything, suddenly a chained kunai flies out from the mirror, but Naruto dodged it, but what he didn't expect is a few fireballs flying out also. The 2 fireballs were dodges barely but Naruto didn't have time to dodge the third one which sent him flying towards one of the bookshelves, luckily the shelves are protected by a magic barrier to prevent theft or vandalism within the Nexus.
Exiting the mirror, Naruto now sees his dark reflection emerging. He is dressed in gear identical to ANBU shinobi but the flack jacket is made of dark leather. Pieces of armor comprised with a pair of graves, a pair of asymmetrical Overlord gauntlets and a left pauldron. His face is concealed by on iron face mask and a dark circlet under his blonde hair. But there is a difference in features between the 2, the reflection's body is younger than Naruto's and his body is covered in glowing blue tribal markings.
The reflection pulls out a fiery longsword in one hand while twirling the chain dart in the other.
Boss Fight
Naruto: The Maelstrom Overlord (V3)
Naruto sighs at this and changes into his Darkborne Gear since he inside the Nexus. But also, during this training/boss fight, Both Narutos' names are changed into their chosen aliases to avoid confusion.
Name change: Naruto - Darkborne
Name change: Naruto - Maelstrom
"Now this feels better" said Darkborne as he draws out his Saw Cleaver and gets ready to his other, currently called Maelstrom. But before he could start the fight, he curious on what his reflection's choice of weapons are. He uses Observe to scan the weapons in Maelstrom's hand and it gave him the results.
Sword of Inferna
A sword used by Inferna, fire bending Amazon warrior who was notorious for her raiding and massacres. She met her end in a fight against Rock Giants.
Chain Dart
An ideal shinobi weapon/tool for infiltration and recon missions. Famously used by Hanzo Hasashi Aka Scorpion of Shinrai Ryu Clan, now extinct and massacred by their rival, the Lin Kuei.
Interesting, though the sword is alright, but the Chain Dart looks more interesting and useful thought Darkborne as he's more intrigue to the Chain Dart than the Sword of Inferna. The Demon's Scar is enough for a fire elemental weapon he'll need.
"Right then" said Darkborne as he poses for battle. "Shall we begin?"
"Sure, why not?" said Maelstrom as he swings his sword hard and caused flames to roar at Darkborne, but Darkborne dodges the attacks and charges at the dark reflection. He unhinges the saw cleaver open and swings it at Maelstrom.
CLANG
But Maelstrom blocked the attack with his fiery sword, then he channels his chakra into his free hand, causing it to engulf in a toxic green haze. Darkborne noticed this and jumps back before Maelstrom could slash him with the Poison Claw jutsu.
"So you want to fight like a beast huh?" said Naruto as he channels his free hand with Red Phazon and activates the Chaos claw. "Then let us fight like beasts!"
Maelstrom smirks under his mask and poofs into smoke, Darkborne was fighting a clone the entire time when suddenly.
"GET OVER HERE!"
Darkborne felt something pierce through this shoulder and hurled up into the rafters. He looked up to see Maelstrom above him, he threw his chain dart and was caught like a fight on a hook.
"Damn it" said Darkborne as he grabs the chain and yanks on it, forcing Maelstrom to fall off along with Darkborne onto the ground.
CRASH
Both versions of Naruto crash onto the floor and onto the tables, luckily the tables magically repair themselves after Darkborne and Maelstrom recover. Darkborne painfully removes the chain dart off his shoulder and feels up with his Blood Estus Flask. Maelstrom pulls out a vial of red liquid that resembles blood, but it's in fact a healing potion. Both drank their concoctions and continue for another round within the Nexus.
Now back in action, Darkborne raises his Gauntlet to summon his minion hoard of Browns, Reds and Greens. Maelstrom does the same, but he held out both hands each containing gauntlets, and not only did he summon his own minion hoard, but he also summons a small garrison of generic featureless warriors. Darkborne uses Observe on the summoned warriors.
Spawn: Militia Level 1
Spawn: Archer Level 1
Darkborne and Maelstrom leer at each other for a moment, each waiting for the other to make their move. But suddenly their impatience got the better of them and both yelled out.
"ATTACK/ATTACK!"
Both hoards charge in for battle and crashes into each other, not just the minions (and spawns), Darkborne and Maelstrom join in with their weapons primed and ready for action.
Now watching over at the distance, Chaossonic observes the fight between Darkborne and Maelstrom, and is quite clad to see that both are using their aliases to avoid confusion. He relaxes with a nice glass of Nuka Cola and some snacks he purchased earlier from the Gates of Hell, glad Rodin has a delivery service. He then turns his attention on another battle/sparring session in the Nexus but away from the one near him. Shirou is right now in the middle of a duel against a hardy enhance Shadow Clone of Naruto, the clone will not go down easy as it's chakra flow is immense along with some high defense and endurance seals placed on the clone. This results in the clone comparing to the real thing, if not stronger, but it's still a clone and it will dispel once its purpose is fulfilled.
With Shirou
Shirou was dodging Darkborne (clone)'s attacks as he resumes his part of the training, he summons a pair of daggers with the yin and yang design, Darkborne (clone) clone used observe on the Fate Overlord's choice of weapons. Results he found are quite interesting as the daggers also have lore in them, just like his own weapons in his arsenal.
Kanshou and Bakuya: Gān Jiàng and Mò Yé (Fake)
"married" twin swords representing Yin and Yang, crafted by the blacksmith Gān Jiàng of Wu during the Spring and Autumn Period of China, this version of the blades was made from Shirou Emiya thanks to his special ability after looking at it from his time from a different special person
Darkborne (clone) is intrigued with Shirou's weapons which he defended against with his saw cleaver. Their blades cross and both struggles to dominate each other with strength. But this gave Shirou a chance for he has a trick up his sleeve. All he needed is just one glance on a weapon and he can craft a copy with ease.
"Trace on" Said Shirou and rushed at Darkborne (clone) which Shirou then has his version of the Saw Cleaver
Both weapons clash and both weapons have like a circuit running through them shocking Darkborne (clone) for a bit as he got hit with partial of Shirou's power and memories though he can't activate them yet and likewise with Shirou.
Shirou which said, "Keep on guard and focused Darkborne just because we are gaining each other's memories and skills doesn't mean that we have to love over them at the time."
"Right." said Darkborne (clone) as he leapt away from Shirou and threw a bunch of Kunai.
"Sword barrier!" Swords suddenly appear as they were summoned to defend him. The many swords gather in front of Shirou, blocking the Kunai's projector.
Darkborne (clone) then was using the Rasengan breaking the barrier and going to hit Shirou then said "Rho Aias: The Seven Rings that Cover the Fiery Heavens." And what looks like a flower peddle with 7 layers of light were blocking Naruto
Darkborne then observes the shield as he is hitting it
Rho Aias: The Seven Rings that Cover the Fiery Heavens (copy)
The shield used by Aias the Great and the only shield capable of stopping Durindana of the great hero Hector.
As both clash this time their hand had what looked like circuits on them exchanging info to each other again.
"Impressive" said Darkborne (Clone) "I must say that you have every unique skill, which I would love to learn. But how are you with minion control!"
Darkborne (Clone) raises his Gauntlet high to summon his minions, Shirou tenses at this and looks at his Gauntlet and raise his.
On Darkborne (clone) were browns, reds, and greens that joined and due to the time jump they follow the Darkborne despite the time jumps both got their minions.
Shirou's is browns, reds, and blues which joined Shirou.
"Interesting you got blues and I got the greens." Darkborne (clone) said
"Agreed." Shirou replied "However I the thing is because of my power and thanks to Giblet and Ricket who helped me with my forging abilities I could do this, trace on"
Suddenly the minions on Shirou's side gain armor and stronger, the reds' horns get longer, and spikes are on their tails, the blues get additional fins on their heads, and the browns gain equipment and blades.
"Ok, now I'm getting jealous" said Darkborne (clone) as he points his gauntlet out to command his army. "Attack!"
Darkborne (clone's) minion hoard charges in for the kill while he charges at Shirou. Shirou does the same but leaves the Blues for obvious reasons, for the Blues' are the medics that can revive fallen minions. But that wouldn't stop Darkborne's clone though as the Fate Overlord watches him charge in with the assault, now drawing two weapons, the Saw Cleaver and now Sting.
CLANG
Crossing weapons once more, The Yang blade of Bakuya clashes with the Saw Cleaver, the jagged serrated edge scrapes horrible on the pure white blade. The Yin Blade of Kansho clashes with the glowing blue elvish dagger known as Sting, the florescent blue glow reflects onto the polished pitch-black blade, as if a darkness is absorbing the dagger's blue light.
Both Overlords (well one Overlord and Shadow Clone) continued their clash right in the center of a battle between minions, which reminds the time of a certain clash between 2 Overlords in the past.
But what Shirou did not know is that Darkborne (Clone) discreetly cast illusion discreetly on him, tricking the auburn-haired teen in believing that he clashes with both weapons. But in truth and within the shroud of deception by the spell, Darkborne (clone) is in fact only wielding the Saw Cleaver in one hand while charging up a Rasengan and fusing it with a terrible mixture of Void and Chaos Phazon, magic and Jūbi's Chakra. It was never done before, but first time for everything. It works then Darkborne might've invented another Rasengan related Jutsu. But what to call it.
"I have a suggestion" said Jūbi whispering in the clone's mind. Jūbi whispered it and made the Darkborne (Clone) smile.
I love it thought Darkborne as he fully charges the Rasengan and gets ready to use it, but he needs to make an opening. Shirou grew suspicious however and kept his guard up always, he continues his fight unaware of what's about to come, but is suspicions forces him mutter under his breath inaudible for Darkborne's ears.
Darkborne (clone) parries to stagger Shirou, opening is found and Darkborne (clone) finally strikes.
"Uzumaki Art!" yelled Darkborne (Clone) as he thrust his hand to plunges the Rasengan.
"Sword barrier!" exclaimed Shirou, his suspicious were true and he immediately summons an array of swords to form a barrier before this new Rasengan could hit him. But unlike any Rasengan, the swirling orb become conical until it completely forms into a swirling drill head.
"Rasen-Drill!"
The Rasen-Drill Jutsu bores through the Sword barrier, shattering them into metal shards that fly around them like dangerous sharp hailstones which the minions were unfortunate to get caught in. Both Darkborne and Shirou were shocked an awe at the results and both thought it as a collaboration.
Jutsu learned: Rasen-Drill
Collaboration Technique discovered: Iron Rain
Shirou then summoned his two swords again and then said "ENHANCE" and his blade change and his blades got longer with small blades covering the yin and yang layers "Kanshou and Bakuya Overedge"
Shirou then summoned two more of those blades and sent them at Naruto, Shirou which chanted
"Crane wings (Spirit and technique), without opening (flawless and firm)
Spirit and technique (Strength), reaching the mountain (pierce the mountain)
Spirit and technique (Sword), crossing the Yellow River (split the water)
Name (Fame), ending in a different heaven (reaching the imperial villa)
Two rivals / Two great men (We), sharing a life (cannot embrace heavens together)"
Shirou then begins with a thrown pair aimed at the neck, coinciding with the first line of the chant, that is deflected by the enemy, and then closes in for close combat with a second pair. The thrown Bakuya returns from behind to attack Darkborne (clone) and he immediately strikes with the Kanshou in his hand. Directly afterward, the thrown Kanshou returns and he uses the Bakuya in his hand to attack as well, coinciding with the second and third lines. Darkborne managed to block all four attacks, but the result left his defenses completely open. Shirou then sends the final pair enhanced and Slashed Naruto's open defenses in a downward X-motion. "Triple-Linked Crane Wings" Shirou said as he did the attack.
Surprisingly the Darkborne (clone) used a substitution jutsu with Shirou's own minion
"Impressive." Appearing from behind, Darkborne (clone) grabs him the Saw Cleaver by Shirou's neck. "Luckily I remember the basics or else that would've caused real damage."
"Damn it" said Shirou as the serrated teeth on the Saw Cleaver gently press his neck, but not hard for it to break skin and cut him. This is just training after all.
Back with Naruto
"RAH!"
"RAH!"
CLANG
Darkborne and Maelstrom clashes again with weapons, for their battles were fierce and equally devastating. No one better to fight in good odds against the Overlord is with himself from a different realm and reality, even though Maelstrom is but a mere reflection of the real Maelstrom Overlord, but the idea of combat is good all the same. Armor dented and scratched, clothing tattered and torn, exposed skin bruised, cut and stained in blood, their own or the enemies'.
And their weapons are about to wear off, their edge becoming dull as each clash scraps off the sharpness. Serrated teeth from the saw cleaver are breaking off, Uchiha Katana chipped and dull, Sting's blue glow is fading, and Demon's Scar's fire is no longer burning. Darkborne's arsenal is wearing off after the long battle, although time itself is nonexistent within the Nexus and all sense of it is lost to them.
But not only the weapons owned by Darkborne has reached their limit. The chain dart is now blunt and cannot grip any wall, ceiling or object anymore and the Sword of Inferna has lost its flame.
All what's left in their arsenal are the kunai in their pouches and this battle is reduced to a petty knife fight for the Overlords. Their movements mirror each other, which is kind of ironic since Darkborne is fight a reflection from the Mirror of Probability. The movements are becoming predictable and unfortunately left them in a stalemate, no longer are they inflicting damage and only blocking and dodging.
But Maelstrom did notice for a while that his form is on the verge of breaking, cracks are forming on his arms and one wrong move would seal his fate. He sighs inwardly as his end is inevitable and his existence is only for Darkborne's training. He is not the real Maelstrom Overlord for the real one is currently in a version of Outworld after his battle against the evil Emperor Shao Kahn.
But he cannot lose focus now, despite everything he is still proud like an Overlord and will not lose, will my die happy with victory in his final thoughts after the battle.
"YAH!" Maelstrom managed to make an unpredictable move that caught Darkborne off guard and slashed him in the chest. Causing the Gamer Overlord to drop his kunai and grunt in pain, and while after that Maelstrom uppercuts him until he is launched in the air and sent him crashing into the table.
Maelstrom sighs at this and looks at his now cracking hand that starts to shatter into millions to glass shards. He chuckles, then laughs triumphantly.
"HA HA HA, I won!" exclaimed Maelstrom raising his only arm high in might, he can himself crack more until more shards shatter from his body. But he doesn't care, his fake pride is saved, and he won a pointless fight which his only purpose is for Darkborne's training. "Oh, that was fun, sadly all fun things must come to an end. I hope you learn much from our battle, Darkborne."
"I'm not sure" said Darkborne as he gets back on his feet and took a swig from his Blood Estus Flask, healing all wounds.
"Oh, you learned something, alright" said Maelstrom, the cracks are getting worse "You just need to pay close attention and understand the hidden meaning of why we were battling. But it doesn't matter anyway.
Maelstrom kneels and sigh while more shards fall off until he is completely shattered, but not without saying the last words to Darkborne
"Use my current skills well, I'll return stronger."
Maelstrom is now a pile of broken black glass with no reflected shine to them, suddenly glowing veins appear from out of the glass pile and connects to Darkborne. The Glass shards swirl in the wind and blows toward the Mirror until it phases through the reflected glass, causing the mirror to reflect a scene to be viewed.
The scene appears to be of a dark and desolate land with a purple hue, death-like trees and treacherous lands. Out in the barren plain is a fortified fortress with guards with no features but along with familiar face. One of them is Maelstrom, his dimensional counterpart cheering with his allies in the fort courtyard as if celebrating something, he held out two severed heads with the spine attacked. One wearing a skull faced Kabuto and the other with a horned green Viking style helmet with a long brown braided beard with a bladed ring on the tip.
"My victory over the Outlands"
Darkborne looks aside to see Maelstrom appear on the opposite side of the mirror, looking back at his counterpart but not planning to emerge anytime.
"Long story short, I had to prove myself as the next Overlord by challenging the Netherghuls who each hold portions of my power. Inferna and Hakon were slain, leaving only Cryos and Malady…but things got complicated as the other 2 betrayed our traditions and abandoned their duty, so Hakon had to be my final trial, which was extremely hard and painful if you ask me."
"I bet you were alone also" said Darkborne "Hated by Konoha and orphaned by our bastard father, the Yondaime.
"Actually, the Yondaime was Sakura's father, Kizashi, in my world" said Maelstrom
"Oh great!" Darkborne sarcastically exclaimed by the difference. It seems even Maelstrom's Kizashi is also a thorn on his side. But he got lucky since that pink haired bastard died while the one in his world is still alive.
"My Father was the Bright Lord of Hikari, rivalling my mother the Dark Lord of Yami." Said Maelstrom "both in an estranged relationship, tried to rescue me from Konoha's hold, even besieged the village for my sake."
"The must've loved you" said Darkborne
"Hai…well Kaa-san does, not sure about Tou-san. Neither of them wanted to share me due to their feud with each other and they want me to be next in line, be it of light or dark." said Maelstrom "I have goal to unite and rule both kingdoms as the Maelstrom Overlord. A force that will consume the light and darkness. But despite everything, I am considering forming an alliance with my mother over my father"
"Father issues?" said Darkborne
"No, not exactly" said Maelstrom "I have a bad feeling about my father, considering that he uses the light for evil…which doesn't feel right to me."
"So you prefer the dark?" said Darkborne
"Don't you?" said Maelstrom rhetorically "Despite our origins differ, we are allotting the same if you ask me."
"We are born in darkness" said Darkness
"And Darkness is our Origin" said Maelstrom before he fades away, along with the scenery the Mirror.
Origin: Darkness obtained
Naruto sighs as he turns away from the mirror of Probability, he then noticed something strapped to his side, and what he saw awed with amazement.
Maelstrom Chain Dart Obtained
"Awesome" said Naruto as he takes out the Chain Dart and gives it a few twirls before putting it back. But as he winds the chain, he noticed something different about his Gauntlet, it contains another glowing gem aligned with the main power gem and the Primordial Gems.
"Heh, there is a joke somewhere about my gauntlet having many jewels on the back…but I know what though." Said Naruto as if reference is sneaking up on him while looking at his updated gauntlet.
"Next thing you'll get is a floating space throne" said Jūbi
"Huh?" said Naruto, not getting the joke.
"Never mind" said Jūbi sighing with disappointment.

Naruto intrigued at this and noticed there are more gauges on his HUD for the resources which can be hidden. Decided not to try it out without the risk of wasting resources but he is amazed at this new line of minion control.
"I might as well steal the resources than making transactions constantly, I'm an Overlord" said Naruto
"Pfff, seriously Naruto-kun?" Jūbi tires to resist a laugh, Naruto noticed it but pretended to be oblivious. Especially when another line of multiple message boxes appear before him.

What the…I wasn't even in the Overlord Dream to level up thought Naruto by surprise at his leveling up. He looks around and then at Chaossonic who is currently watching Shirou fighting against his enhanced Shadow Clone. Could it be that I'm in the Nexus?
Could be said Jūbi sharing Naruto's reaction.
"Anyway, let's go see if Shirou's done with his" said Naruto as he regroups with Chaossonic and Shirou.
Later
Both Naruto and Shirou finishes off their duels against their faux opponents for their training. Each gained experience and learned unique skills from their opponent's battles. Naruto gained a new tool/weapon from Maelstrom's reflection and new form of minion control called Spawn Control.
Shirou, with his battle experience from his father's enhanced clone, gaining experience with the Naruto's minion control, spell casting and jutsu techniques. He never tried to learn his father Rasengan in the past as it is a very complex Uzumaki Clan Jutsu.
"I took it you managed to finish your battles?" Chaos said to Naruto
"Yah and I got some new powers because of it." Said Naruto
"Good and you also got both Shirou's and Maelstrom's memories also" said Chaossonic "you will be able to use the mirror as much as you like."
"Good, I could use a rematch anytime" said Naruto, still a bit sore of losing to a reflection.
"Maelstrom is not the only one as there is also other versions of you could fight, as I said you can fight multiple versions of yourself, hell you might even fight what I call Main version which was if you didn't become an overlord and censured justice never existed."
"Interesting Chaos I will keep that in mind."
"While you were fighting, did you notice anything similar about you and Maelstrom?" Chaossonic added
Naruto thought about it, remembering what he saw through the mirror after Maelstrom shattered into pieces.
"Well from what I seen in Maelstrom's memories other than being a version of me, we both sometime like to do thing in the dark to be our ally with dark creatures or prefer the darkness and shadows more than the light in a way."
Chaos couldn't help but smile, happy with Naruto's answer. "well then I think we found your origin a little early then, normally it takes fighting 4 versions to understand what your origin is but since that version of you is also an overlord, I am guessing you have the origin of Darkness which will be awaken in 10 mins now."
"So, what does this Origin do?" said Naruto
Shirou decides to speak up and explain what Origins do.
"As chaos said our origin is our beginning in the root once awaken it will basically integrate with our attacks you saw it with my mage craft, Sword which integrates into my attacks sharpening and fixing objects just as I did with your spear. Your is darkness which can integrate into your attacks be it your Rasengan or adding it to your weapons via dark enchantments on your weapons."
Chaos which added "And since darkness is also the absent of light which includes sight you can turn invisible or possibly create blackouts or even travel by the Shadows. Though there is possibly more that can be shown if you experiment it, we will have to see your possible limits on it."
"What do you have in mind?" said Naruto
Chaossonic paces and thought for a moment, thinking of an interesting way for Naruto to test his new Darkness Origin. Then an idea hatches in his mind this triggers a quest alert at Naruto.
Quest Alert
One with Darkness
Try out your Origin by testing and discovering new abilities related to Darkness
Sneak around in the Dark to Improve your Stealth
Slay a handful of enemies in the Dark without leaving any traces
Winning Conditions: Unlock Darkborne Gear
Seeing that put a smile on Naruto's face, as it loves the gear and knowing that it'll be locked once he leaves the Nexus. But the chance to regain it is pleasing to the eyes.
"Well then, I best be off then" said Naruto
"What about me?" said Shirou
"I need you to stay here, Shirou" said Chaossonic "I need a word in private."
Shirou wanted to protest but Naruto reassures him.
"I'll be fine, I survived Konoha long enough to withstand many threats" said Naruto "Plus, I have my own quest to fulfil."
Shirou reluctantly sighs and said "Ok, I hope we'll meet again."
"Of course" said Naruto as he decided to cheer up his son with a little joke. "We are roommates, aren't we?"
Shirou chuckles slightly as Naruto referred him staying at his apartment a little while ago. He watches his future father leave the Nexus, leaving him alone with the World Maker.
"I know you want to keep him safe, Shirou" said Chaosonic patting the Fate Overlord's shoulder. "And I know you wanted to spend some time with him after your forgotten past by that bastard as there is nothing, I like better then to make my students happy, but we both need to remember that you have a quest to do yourself, for his sake and your mothers but that doesn't mean you will not spend time this part of the timeline." Chaos which gave Shirou a card which looked like a fusion of a C and G combining on top of each other.
"Hai" said Shirou taking it "Julien is still out there, I need to look for him."
"That's right, but right now is a delicate time for Naruto…he needs to be Darkborne before that time comes." Said Chaossonic. "And for Hinata to claim her Gamer name."
Outside the Nexus
Naruto, now back in his orange tracksuit, leaves the Nexus and wonders how to use the Origin skills. He approaches to the darkest side of the building and he suddenly merges into the shadows. This surprises Naruto while emerges out, then a smile appears on his face.
Origin Skill Discovered: Veil
"Interesting, I can literally hide in darkness now." Said Naruto as he use Veil to merges in the dark again. "Let's see what else I can go."
Unaware of Naruto, there is a crow perched above on the rooftops with a lone Sharingan on its left eyes. It watches Naruto become one with darkness, fortunately the crow belongs to a certain Uchiha who is not a threat to our Overlord.
Keeping a distance, The Uchiha Gamer Megami II in her ANBU gear uses the Raven to visually spy on Naruto for she has been looking for him for a while, she was getting worried for the Blonde when she couldn't find him for a while but now relieved that she did.
"Oh good, he's fine" said Megami "And I was right, he is a Gamer like me. Looks like he's busy at the moment, I'll come back later once he's done."
Megami vanishes in a murder of crows.
Meanwhile
Hinata yawns tirelessly from her busy night singing and dancing for Rodin when she suddenly sneezed unexpectedly.
"Huh, that was strange" said Hinata rubbing her nose, suddenly someone bumped into her and ran by. "Ah, that was very rude."
Hinata looks ahead with her Byakugan to see a blonde hair teen girl running away. She look up to noticed her long blond straight hair that is bound with taut bandages, dark eyes red lipstick covered lips. But what shocked her more is that she is wearing short-sleeved black and purple blouse and black pants, both of which had a design similar to clouds on them, purple fingerless gloves and a chain of blue beads wound around her left hand. Wearing a Kumogakure forehead protector, and a kunai holster however next to them are pokeballs.
Hinata could only say one thing "Another Gamer?"
"Hurry! She's getting away!"
Blanc heard another voice and quickly hid into a dark alley, a group of disguised Kumo ninja are tracking Yugito. But Hinata isn't fooled as she already knows that the disguised Kumo Chunnin are in fact knights from CJ Kumo Branch, which Vert and Blanc warned her about.
"Damn it, don't let her get away or we'll get it bad from Raikage-sama."
"Or worse, Lady Patricia of B.A.D.D"
The mention of the name causes the KUMO Censor Knights to shudder in pure dread.
"Come on, she can't be far away."
Hinata is getting worried, to see CJ knights out on the hunt on a fellow Gamer. She then rushes to help the poor Blonde Gamer.
"I better hurry" said Hinata with ease, praying to Yami that she'll get to the blond Kumo Gamer on time before the CJ could catch.
