Chapter 9

Konoha: Evening

The many hunts have begun within the dark nights of Konoha, from both the Gamers and the Censored Justice. Naruto left the nexus to test his new ability, his Darkness Origin which grants him the power of Darkness itself. Recently he discovered one skill called Veil, which grants him to merge into the shadows literally and even drag his prey into the pitch blackness of Yami's realm where true nightmares for those unfortunate bastards would begin.

Right now, it's been about 20 minutes since Naruto is outside and right now pursuing a fleeting Censor Knight under the guise of a simple Konoha Genin, a young lad who believe that he is doing the right thing and was recently initiated in that elusive Order.

Naruto chuckles literally in the dark as he is catching up to the poor Censor Knight, halfway emerging out of the shadows, his upperpart shrouded in pitch blackness of the Dark.

Shadow form

Description: When merging in darkness, it also shrouds the user's body in physical darkness to obscurer his identity from his enemies, useful for stealth and intimidation.

Pair of glowing red eyes beam out from the head of Naruto's Shadow form, eyes that resemble a broken ring with a line halfway across from above. Eyes of Yami herself leering menacingly at the terrified Censor Knight as he runs for his life.

"Kami please spare me! For Yami's evil is after me!"

"HA HA HA HA!"

Naruto merges into the shadows again but keeps pursuing him with another technique he discovered while using Veil.

Dark Shift

Description: Travel swiftly in the shadows, but only when there is darkness in the area and no light to be found.

Dark Shift is useful indeed but has a limit to how far darkness is spread as his prey turned to where lights can he found, streetlights that turn on in the evening to illuminate the village. Naruto stops where the shadows end, peeping his shadow covered head out of the darkness with a narrow leer at his prey.

The Censor Knight stops near a lamppost, under it's orange light and sighs in relief.

"Ha, not even Darkness can face the light" the Censor Knight smirks in triumph, puffing his chest in arrogance. But Naruto simply laughs at this as he emerges slightly until his arms and chest are visible but still covered in darkness. He points up at the lamppost which caused the Censor Knight to look also. "Huh?

As the Censor Knight looks, another shadowy figure is seen perched on the lamppost but away from the light's reach. The Censor Knight trembles at this when the shadowy figure pulls out a kunai and stabs the lamp's bulb, destroying the light protecting him. The other lampposts are apart, but it leaves a dark opening for the shadowy figure to pounce down and kill the poor CJ rookie.

"AHHH!"

Screams are heard, but it would be too late for anyone to respond as shadowy figure starts mutilating the Censor Knight horribly, like a ravaging beast who only hunts for sport. Naruto emerges from the darkness and approaches the shadowy figure who is in fact a Shadow Clone also is using Shadow Form.

"It's a good thing my Shadow Clones can use Origin: Darkness too" said Naruto, while in Shadow Form his voice becomes distorted and demonic. Unlike true Darkness such as Yami, who's voice though dark too but also beautiful. "Search for more CJ scum to hunt, I want them to know that they are not untouchable."

"Got it, boss" said the Shadow Formed Shadow Clone as he leaps up on the broken Lamppost and scourers the rest of Konoha in the dark.

Naruto sighs calmly as he misses this, slaying Censor Knights with ease and spreading fear on their elusive Order. Suddenly he noticed a perched crow with a single familiar red eye with three Tomoes, Naruto smiles underneath the Shadow Form as he knows who's crow that is.

It's about time for me to reintroduce myself to Izumi thought Naruto It'll be brief, then I'll turn my focus on Hinata…I hope she wouldn't mind waiting a little while and who knows maybe she might join me on this special quest together.

Meanwhile

"Come on!"

Censor Knights from Kumo's Branch are hot on their pursuit after their target.

"Quickly, she's getting away!"

The person they are after is a young teenage girl long blond straight hair that is bound with taut bandages, dark eyes red lipstick covered lips. She is wearing short-sleeved black and purple blouse and black pants, both of which had a design like clouds on them, purple fingerless gloves and a chain of blue beads wound around her left hand.

She is wearing a hitai-ate with a symbol that resemble 3 clouds overlapping, showing that she is also from Kumo, perhaps turned traitor or incriminated by the village and trying to escape. She is barely armed only a kunai holster strapped on her side, but next to them are three red and white metal balls with a black rim around it and a white button.

"You can't hide from us anymore, Yugito! You may not have the Niibi anymore but you're still a threat to Kumo."

"Leave me alone!" exclaimed the woman known as Yugito Nii, now former Kumo Kunoichi who went AWOL thanks to the Censored Justice. "I was just having fun with my new abilities and friends."

"Pokémon are under the protection of…"

"Bullshit! They were created for us to train and battle!" exclaimed Yugito, she is sick of hearing the same excuse those CJ bastards from the Kumo Branch were making. "There is no controversy, you damn fascists!"

"Enough of this"

One of the Censor Knights pulled out a spool of ninja rope and lassos the poor blonde, causing Yugito to collapse the moment her ankles are bond. As she collapses, one of the balls unlatched from her holster and bounces, the center button presses on the ground and the ball opens.

Light beams out from the opened balls and takes form of some small animal, the creature a small kitten with black fur and red stripes on its legs and forehead, also its muzzle is red matching the stripes.

Litten, I choose you

"Meow?" the black and red kitten mewed in confusion as it was released from the red and white ball, then it noticed the Kumo Censor Knights and began to hiss angrily at them.

"Litten, use Flamethrower!" Exclaimed Yugito while the Kumo ties her up.

The cat-like creature known as a Litten growled angrily and spew out flames at his master's pursuers. One of the Censor Knights, the one who is tying Yugito up with rope, didn't react on time before the flames engulf him.

"AH AAGGHHH!" the bastard screams in agony as the flames burn him completely. And out of panic, the enflamed knight runs off to douse himself, but the damage is already done. A few seconds later, he collapses as a charred-up corpse.

The Litten dashes to Yugito and starts gnawing on the rope to free his master.

"Good boy" said Yugito, now free from her bonds. She stands up and sighs reluctantly while she faces the rest of the group taking out two more balls. "I don't have a choice now…"

BANG!

Suddenly she sounds of gunfire was heard and another Censor Knight collapses, blood seeps out from the head from a gunshot. This surprised Yugito and her Litten when a figure in a black body suit and a short purple jacket appears between her and the Kumo Censor Knights. Her face is concealed by a butterfly eye mask but her other features such as the indigo hair and cream-colored skin is shown.

In her hands is a pair of M1911 pistols, black and white with a gold engraving inscribed "Ebony" on the Black one and "Ivory" on the White. Hinata Hyūga, masked up and decided to help Yugito, aims her guns Ebony and Ivory at the Kumo Censor Knights.

"Alright…" said Hinata with her guns aiming at her enemies. "What's the big idea chasing a poor girl like her, huh?"

The Kumo Censor Knights murmur at each other and draw out their Censor Swords, weapons forged and designed to deal with Gamers.

"I suggest you go home, girl, we are here for the traitor"

"You don't fool me, CJ Bastards!" said Hinata as she fires her pistols, but the Censor Knights dodge and deflect the bullets with their swords, the one that got shot before was caught by surprise so hitting the rest will be tricky not they are more alert and most likely to evade any range attacks like gunfire.

"Quick, call for back up!"

"Hai"

One of the Censor Knights pulls out a scroll and opens it, the contents of the scrolls are a detailed summoning seal which he drops on the ground. The Seal glows and more Censor Knights appear to assist their comrades.

"Damn" said Hinata, realizing that she got a little carried away and put away her guns. "Time to leave"

Hinata runs off, but not without grabbing Yugito.

"Quick, follow me!" said Hinata as she runs off.

"H-Hai" said Yugito as she runs off, while doing so she grabs one of her metal balls and aims it at her Litten. "Litten, Return!"

The metal ball shoots a red beam at the Litten, causing the Litten to fade in that red light, teleporting the creature back into the ball. Hinata saw this and was impressed.

"Interesting creature, you have there." Said Hinata "Not any cat I ever seen."

"It's not a cat…I'll explain later." Said Yugito

"Hai" said Hinata as she waves her free hand around in a circle and created a portal. "We'll hide here for a while."

"Huh?" said Yugito before she is dragged into a portal by Hinata and bother were never seen again. The Kumo Censor Knights stop the moment the 2 female Gamers are out of sight, the group's commander curses under his breath as he held his head in anger.

"Damn it, they entered Limbo." Said the Kumo Commander "Send the Sentinels to scan the area, they can't go far"

"Hai"

Another scroll was opened with the same summoning seal, this time a group of hooded figures appear, wielding golden staves with glowing blue crystal balls with rings orbiting it. They leap up onto the rooftops and wave their staves around, causing the crystal balls on top to beam out what resemble search lights.

"They can't hide in Limbo from us" said the Commander "The Sentinels will find them…in a matter of seconds."

But as the Sentinels scourer the area within Konoha, they do not realize that within the shadows and I mean literally within them a few Shadow Clones of Naruto, all also shrouded in physical darkness of Shadow Form watches the foreign foes from the same despicable order that the Overlord all so despise.

One by one the slowly emerge from the darkness with no sound in their steps as each sneakily approach their chosen prey quietly, like Ninjas should be. Sentinels are easy to kill if unseen, and unseen the Shadow Clones will remain until they slit those hooded bastards' throats open.

"Fortune smiles upon us in this dark night, more CJ scum to slay for our boss's glory and pleasure."

"FeEd!"

"Oh, it seems the darkness can speak now." Said one of the Shadow Clones "And it wants to eat"

"Hai" said the other Clones.

Sentinels who fall by the Clones' blade are then dragged into the dark and teleported into in the shadow realm where their corpses will be consumed by the insatiable Darkness. Oh yes, the realm not only occupied by the Dark Goddess herself, for what is a Queen without subject?

Emerging from the Dark, slithering out are long dark creatures that resemble menacing eels with sharp elongated teeth that hunger for flesh, the drag the sentinel corpses to feast on what their Queen's Champion have offered to them.

"Hai!"

One my one, the Shadow Clones stealthily approach the Sentinels, though unsure what or who they are searching for. But whatever they want, Naruto's Clones will not allow them to find it. With stealth and the night on their side, they continue to slay more Sentinels and drag their dead of dying corpses into the darkness for the Dark Children to consume.

With limited satisfaction, the Children of Darkness gain their aid to the Clones by emerging from other parts of the area where Darkness is seen, grabbing the other Sentinels and drag them in the dark to be consumed by the Children.

"AlL ArE GoNe…BUT We StILl HuNgER!"

"Oh, don't worry, they will not be the last" said the Shadow Clone, speaking to the Children of Darkness. "I thank you for your aid, and boss will promise you more flesh to feed on."

"We HoLd YoU To ThAT PrOmISH, DaRKbORE…Or the DARK WilL Also BE YouR DeaTH!"

Quest complete: One with Darkness

Suddenly main Shadow Clone felt something change on his person, he removes the Shadow form and reveals to be wearing the DarkBorne Gear, he smiles with glee and laughs triumphantly.

"HA HA, DARKBORNE RISES AGAIN. ALL FEAR HIS MIGHT!"

One by one, the shadow Clones except one dispels in a puff of smoke, the remaining one grabs a Sentinel Stave and figures how to use it.

"Let's see what they are looking for then" said the Shadow Clone, figuring how to use the Sentinel Stave until he figured it out. He shines the light around, granting him sight of Limbo, there he sees 2 girls hiding in the corner, one he is familiar to immediately, but the other is unknown to him. "So, it's about to happen, I better let the Boss know about this."

The Shadow Clone snaps the stave and shatter its crystal so that no one will use it. He calls to the Children of Darkness to destroy the other staves before he dispels into smoke.

With Naruto

The experiences from the Shadow Clones were transferred to Naruto the moment they were dispelled, a smile creeps on the Overlord's face as the information flooding his mind is pleasing indeed. Naruto is currently on top of Roof where he once met his fellow Gamer, Megami II for the first time. Now history literally repeats itself, and once again revisiting the only Uchiha he befriended and would call a comrade.

"Ah, finally" said Naruto as he immediately dons the Darkborne Gear. He grips on the lapels of his dark coat, enjoying the touch that yearned for.

"Good news then" said Megami, wearing the same Gamer Gear she wore the first time they meet as Gamers. a beautiful indigo kimono with black raven patterns on the hakama while a tattered and torn like Uchiha insignia on the back with another one in the form of an iron broach. Her face is covered by a beautifully carved Noh mask with some horns and black tribal lines on the cheek and on the center of the forehead.

"Indeed" said Naruto "Would you be kind to allow me a favor before we start your quest?"

"Of course, what is it?"

"There is someone I know, a Gamer like you and I, would be helpful to assist us."

"Oh?" said Megami, intrigued at what gamer Naruto is referring to. "Who is he?"

"She doesn't have an official Gamer Name yet, and I can't risk revealing her true name without risking her own life." Said Naruto

"She just started, and you want to take her into a dungeon…where a great threat might possibly be hiding?" said Megami "I don't know…"

"Trust me, she'll proof herself. And she'll be safe with me if things get rough." Said Naruto reassuring his Uchiha Ally.

Megami is reluctant about this, to send a new unnamed Gamer to join them. But if Naruto's faith is true, then she might consider it.

"Alright" said Megami "She'll join us."

"Excellent, just hold on for a moment" said Naruto as he makes his leave. He recollects the memories from the clones and noticed a minor difference from the sentinels at Konoha.

Those Sentinels aren't the ones I encountered before, did you notice Juu-chan? Thought

"Hai, good observation, Naruto-kun" said Jūbi "Remember what that meeting we spied on beneath the academy?"

Hai, which ironically reviewing again with Izumi-chan thought Naruto The Censored Justice isn't just influencing Konoha, but also Kumo.

"And undoubtedly Iwa, Kiri, Suna and the other Hidden Villages" said Jūbi

And with the Daimyos wrapped around their little fingers thought Naruto Also the dreams about them chasing the little girls…

"Hai, I remember, from that night after your training with Izumi after you infiltrated the dungeon beneath the academy…which you will do again."

Hai, but this time I will not hold back since those Eradicators can do jack shit against me, thanks to the Anchor you placed on me. Thought Naruto smirking evilly, and no Censor Trap to fuck me up again.

Jūbi chuckles at this.

Still, remembering those dreams and not mentioning it at the same moment in this exact timeline…it feels weird. Thought Naruto

"Perhaps someone is reminding you." Said Jūbi "Perhaps the dreams are indeed important to begin with. Along with someone that seems familiar to my Neko memory."

"Yeah…but why though?" said Naruto he still doesn't understand the meaning of the lucid dreams, despite what he saw from the memories of the clones which relates to the topic. "What would the Kumo Ninja be after…wait a minute"

Finally, he gets it…. Baka.

Land of Fire: Kumo CJ camp

Well hidden in the dense forests of the Land of Fire, fully camouflaged and out of unwanted sights, the Kumo Division of the Censored Justice has sent a squad within still enemy grounds. A commander of the squad is in his own tent, relaying his report to his superior through a Magic Lantern Jutsu.

"You lost her?"

"We had a minor nuisance within Konoha that got in our way, but I have sent in a group of Sentinels to discreetly comb the area. We'll find her and bring her back to Kumo for Judgement."

"*Sigh* It's bad enough that she lost her Biju years ago, but to be a Gamer too…it's unspeakable."

"Yugito was Kumo's finest Kunoichi, Lady Patricia. It would be a shame to lose her."

"What choice do we have, her influence will corrupt Kumo and more Gamers will sure to rise. Find her no matter what."

"Hai, Lady Patricia"

"Now if you excuse me, I need to prepare for a peace summit for our alliance with our village and Konoha."

"I don't like this, unifying branches. Our ideologies differ to theirs."

"I know, but the council believe that a new Overlord might one day rise, and we need to band up. Konoha's branch is the beginning, we need to band with the rest of the Branches on the Hidden Villages."

"I understand"

"Just focus on getting Yugito back in Kumo and dispose any objects discreetly."

"Hai, I will not fail you."

"See that you don't, Censore Iustitea"

"Censore Iustitea"

The Magic Lantern Jutsu ends, leaving the squad commander alone and held his masked face, all CJ members must remain anonymous while on duty, so not to compromise their order if they get captured by the enemy.

"This is indeed troublesome, first both of our Biju's taken by some unknown force rendering our Jinchūriki powerless, and now one of the former Jinchūriki becomes a Gamer."

Suddenly a scout enters the tent and kneels to his commander.

"Report has the Sentinels found her?" said the commander.

"No sir" said the scout with hesitation in his voice. "In fact…the entire squad of Sentinels are nowhere to be seen."

"What?" said the Commander.

"No signs of their bodies, but evidences state that they were taken down, blood stains and broken staves."

"So, we have another problem, someone who doesn't want us to find Yugito" said the Commander gritting his hidden teeth with annoyance. "send in another squad, tell them to patrol discreetly within the area, I want Yugito found now!"

"Hai, Commander" said the scout as he stumbles to leave the tent.

The commander held his head and massages his left temple, he leans onto the table with a map of Konoha displayed. Markers pinned to indicate the area they are searching, the area is partially covering the Clan District, and the Hyūga Clan compound is within that area.

"Grr, it's quite tempting…but Yugito comes first" said the Commander as he leers at the map diagram of the Hyūga Clan Compound. "I could be a Hero if I bring in a Hyūga to have our own Byakugan and strengthen Kumo completely. Damn villages got 2 famous Doujutsus."

Fallen Leaves Abyss

Hinata and the Kumo Kunoichi named Yugito are walking across the desolate lands of the Fallen Leaves Abyss, the Limbo form of Konoha. The Kumo blonde is rather nervous about the area as the sounds of constant battles are heard all around, luckily, they are on a path where a battle just ended, only fallen bodies litter the place…but will rise again since this is a place between life and death.

"Come on, it's not far off now." Said Hinata "You'll be safe there"

"How would you know?" said Yugito

"It's one of the safe Havens for Gamers, and the only one I know about." Said Hinata

"Why would you help me?" said Yugito "I'm a Kunoichi from Kumo"

"And you're a Gamer also, I can tell by those strange red and white balls you have." Said Hinata

"Oh, you mean my Pokéballs" said Yugito placing her hand on her 3 small Pokéballs. "They're my friends, ever since…that night happened, I was a little lonely, and the rest of Kumo saw me as nothing but a broken weapon."

"Why is that?" said Hinata

"I'm not sure if I can trust you to tell you." Said Yugito "You might reconsider helping me."

"I'm not judgmental, if you that's what you're worried about" said Hinata

"Still, I rather not say." Said Yugito

"Ok, I'll leave it alone." Said Hinata "My name is Hinata, by the way."

"Yugito" said Yugito, though reluctant to tell a stranger her name, but it'd be rude not to. "Yugito Ket … I mean Nii."

Hinata smiles, glad that acquaintances made a good start though she sensed that Yugito was hesitating when she said her last name as if she was hiding something in that. But suddenly their peaceful trek though these hostile lands have come to a halt. Crossing their path, a squad of hooded figures wielding scythes slowly advance toward the 2 female Gamers.

Hell Prides

Bios: Members of the Seven Hells Army loyal to the demon prince Mundus. These demons were born by the corrupted pride of man

Threat: Low

"Damn it, stand back while I deal with them" said Hinata as she draws out her Rebellion and charges for battle.

"H-Hai" said Yugito nervously as she kept her distance, but also make sure that no other forms of danger approach her from all direction.

Hinata starts battling against the Hell Prides crossing her path, heavy swings from her demonic claymore following with gunfire, during her employment in the Gates of Hell she learned how to strap her guns Ebony and Ivory to her ankles and use magic to pull the trigger. That way, she can use both weapons at ease and with no complication.

She swings her sword first, then high kick to aim Ebony to blow one Hell Pride's head clean off. Yugito is at awe at Hinata's skill, she hesitantly brushes her Pokéballs while debating to use and aid the Hyūga Gamer.

Gotta Catch'Em All song plays

She saved my life, I might as well return the favor. Thought Yugito pulls out a Pokéball, it slightly expands twice the size and tosses it.

Litten: I choose you!

The Pokéball opens and beams out Litten.

"Meow" Litten mewed, causing a small ember to flicker out from its mouth. Then it proceeds to clean itself like any other feline creature.

"Time to aid help" said Yugito as she wipes her Hitai-ate sideways, causing the Kumo engravement to change into a shape of a Pokéball with cat ears. "Litten: use Ember!"

"Meow!" said Litten as it spits out embers at the Sin Prides. Ember is merely a standard fire-type attack, but it seems to cause good enough damage against the demons. Enough to stagger them, the embers help Hinata see exposed openings to exploit and strike efficiently with ease.

"Thanks" said Hinata as she gives Yugito the thumbs up, showing her appreciation.

"Sure" said Yugito who also responded with a thumbs up. "Litten: use Ember again!"

"Meow!" said Litten as it spews out embers again.

The Embers flies out from Litten's mouth and hit the Hell prides again, suddenly flames start to spread on the demons' hooded cowl and cause panic on their masked faces.

"Good, now use Fury Swipe while they're panicking!" said Yugito

"Meow" said Litten as it dashes to the scattering group of Hell Prides, it leaps and bear it's claws to slash with an attack called Fury Swipe.

SLASH

SLASH

SLASH!

Litten swiped 3 time(s)

One of the Hell Prides collapse, this gives Hinata the change to finish it off with a shot through the head with her Ebony.

"Thanks" said Hinata

Yugito gave Hinata a thumbs up, the blonde is happy to fight this way, ever since she was forced to hide her true purpose in Kumo. But no more as she is for the first time in her life ever since she got her Litten at the age of 10 which is usually when Pokémon gamers get their abilities and Pokémon, she was truly free.

I will make my parents proud, may Arceus bless them wherever they are. thought Yugito before she reaches out arm and points out. "Ok, use Fury Swipe again!"

"Meow!" said Yugito's Litten as it dashes at the Hell Prides again and slashes with the Fury Swipe.

SLASH

SLASH

SLASH

SLASH

SLASH!

Litten Swiped 5 time(s)

The effect from that move is enough for several Hell Prides to collapse on the ground, but Yugito isn't finished.

"Now finish them with Flamethrower!" said Yugito

"Roaw!" Litten growls as it hunches aggressively before it spews out flames to burn the downed Hell Prides.

The hell prides fell as Yugito then said "Fire Fang" on another Hell Pride.

Litten's body becomes surrounded in a light-red aura. The inside of Litten's mouth then becomes covered in flames and it bites down on the Hell Pride.

Yugito's thought I will achieve my dream of being a Pokémon master just like my dad!

Litten's fire fang was enough to hurt the Hell Pride Hinata then stabbed it in the face being sure to kill it.

The piles of corpses now litter the area beneath their feet, each with Red Orbs and small bundles of bank notes and coins hover above them. The Red Orbs fly towards Hinata to be collected while the money goes to Yugito.

750 red Orbs Collected

700 Poke Collected

"Sweet" said Yugito as the money known as Poke gather in her hand. "I almost forgot why being a Gamer is great."

"Uh huh but working for Rodin-san is more fun" said Hinata "Come on, we're nearly here."

"Ok" said Yugito before turning to her Litten "Litten: Return"

Yugito's Litten returns to its Pokéball and strapped to her belt. The 2 Gamers venture on through the Dark Leaf Abyss.

Gates of Hell

Naruto sits by the counter with a fresh glass of Nuka Cola in hand, waiting patiently while enjoying a fresh beverage and listening to the smooth jazz playing in the background. The establishment is empty now with only Darkborne as the lone patron for Rodin to serve.

"So how was your true taste of darkness, kid?" said Rodin

"Liberating, it gives my titles true meaning now that I can literally use the Dark against my enemies." Said Naruto as he takes a swig from his glass. "For what would be the point of being called Darkborne and Yami's Champion if I do not use the Darkness."

Rodin didn't need to answer that as the question is indeed rhetorical, and the Demonic Barkeeper's silence is enough to answer a question that didn't need answering.

"Anyway, Hinata should be back by now" said Naruto "Even in the Abyss, it wouldn't take long to get here."

"Well she is a Gamer now, she might get sidetracked with enemy encounters." Said Rodin "And the Abyss is infested with foes that want her dead."

"Hm" not surprising to Naruto anymore, encounters and ambushes from enemies are very common to gamers and could be quite distracting and rather annoying. Like Naruto's past battles against the Wights in his formerly rundown apartment before he refurbished it. "Hope she's alright though, considering that she only started her new life."

"She'll be alright, since she had plenty of training with the right teacher" said Rodin as he was partially referring to himself. But Naruto might have an idea who else taught Hinata how to be a Gamer.

"You and her both" said Naruto when suddenly a couple of footsteps are heard from the front door. Naruto turns and smiles to see Hinata back safe in the Gates of Hell with Yugito who looks nervous while looking around.

"There, we'll be safe here for a while until we figure things out." Said Hinata escorting Yugito to any of the free chairs. "I'll give you something to eat and drink."

"H-hai" said Yugito "Sitting down."

Hinata suddenly notices Naruto waves to her, she blushes when she saw him, but much more when he's dressed in his Darkborne gear. She gulps and hesitates for a moment before she approaches Naruto and sat next to him.

"you alright now?" said Naruto

"H-Hai" said Hinata

"So, what happened" Naruto asked

"I protected Yugito from some censured justice members."

"So that explained the Sentinels that were within a certain area of Konoha" said Naruto "They were looking for her."

"That's right, it was scary at first, but the fear slowly turned with excitement when I attacked." Said Hinata "I never killed a real person before, and normally I would be terrified that I committed murder…but I didn't."

"That's one of quirks of being a Gamer, our sense of morality changes" said Naruto "Then again, I wouldn't give a rat's ass at who I kill in Konoha…not what after they did to me in my pre-gamer life…anyway, I'm doing a quest with a fellow Gamer."

"I see" said Hinata "What kind of quest is it?"

"Just a simple dungeon hop, that's all" said Naruto "The problem is that it's only me and her in the party. So, I was wandering if you would like to come along, it would help you improve your skills as a Gamer."

Hinata couldn't help but blush at Naruto's invitation, it'd be like teaming up with him if they were Genin graduates in the academy, to spend more time with her secret crush. She is nervous at this, reducing to her former self the return her habit of pressing her index fingers together…luckily Naruto is aware of the nervousness from the Hyūga Gamer and chuckles patiently.

"I-I…I will join you, Naruto-kun" said Hinata

Naruto smiles and place his gauntlet clad hand on her shoulder.

"Wonderful" said Naruto "But you might want to refrain saying my true name while on a quest, simple Noob mistake."

"Ok…S-so what do I c-call you?" said Hinata

"In this gear, I am called Darkborne" said Naruto.

Hinata nods at this, though hearing that name does make her spine chill slightly.

"I…I don't have a Gamer Name." said Hinata

"Don't worry, I never got mine at first" said Naruto "But I can help you, my previous offer still stands, remember."

"H-Hai…" said Hinata remembering what Naruto was talking about. The offer of hanging out doing quests and training together. Thinking about it made her nervously blush, she couldn't help but return to her former self around Naruto, as if all that confidence building was all but in vain. No, that's it. She is confident, it is just Naruto's presence is too overwhelming…give her time to open and she'll be fine. "Ano, I was wondering, can I bring someone to your party?"

"You mean that blonde gamer?" said Naruto as he looks over to the table Yugito is sitting, holding a foxlike creature with brown hair with a beige mane and tip on the tail. Naruto was about to say more when something about Yugito gave him a strange sensation as if he saw her before. This confuses the Overlord but luckily Jūbi realized who Yugito was and inwardly explained to him.

"Naruto-kun we have to get that girl with us." Jūbi saidmentally

"Why?" Naruto asked

"Cause that girl is was the host of the 2 tails and considering that Ryo is also after the tailed beast hosts, we have to bring her along with us to make sure he doesn't get to her."

"So, she's a former Jinchūriki?" said Naruto, he had his share of encounters with Jinchūriki before. Sora the Pseudo-Jinchūriki imprisoned in the Fire Temple…which he'll revisit later, so he can free Neptune again. And Utakata, the former Jinchūriki of Saiken the Rokubi back with the Forest of Death's Toxic Swamp. Never have thought he'd see meet another who is not a threat to him…or rather not be an acolyte of his recently discovered bastard he calls an uncle.

This is perfect, Naruto could gain one Jinchūriki as an ally before that fool Akenomyosei could influence her to serve him. Naruto turns to Hinata and responds with a smile.

"I would be happy to have her join" said Naruto "a part of four is always best"

Hinata smiles and immediately hugs him out of impulse. She was so happy at this that she didn't think before it was too late, when she realized what she was doing. She broke the hug and backed away with a redder face.

"G-Gomen, Naru…Darkborne" said Hinata, turns out all that confidence is keeping her from fainting, she has improved otherwise she'd be fainting from the overwhelming fact that she hugged her crush.

"It's ok" said Naruto "I was a bit surprised myself, anyway I best be off."

"Sure, where will we meet?" said Hinata, not calming down as she is more focusing on the current quest she is about to partake.

"Meet us at the top of the Academy Roof, and don't worry about any more Sentinels" said Naruto with a sinister grin. "I'll be enjoying myself on the journey."

After that, to Hinata's shock and surprise she sees Naruto sinking into the dark floor and vanish into darkness. Rodin chuckles at this and shook his head.

"What a showoff" said Rodin before he turns to Hinata "Anyway Hinata, I notified Blanc and she wanted to talk to both of you before you leave."

"Huh?" said Hinata until suddenly the front door was kicked open. The White Heart is not in a happy mood, and this causes Hinata to gulp.

"What this about you fighting Censor Knights!?" said Blanc

"Oh no" said Hinata holding her face in shame, suddenly realizing one important fact she was given by Blanc. "I was not ready to fight them…Baka"

Blanc briskly approaches Hinata and tugged her cheek, causing the poor girl to react in pain.

"Owowowowowo, Lady Blanc please stop it!"

"I told you during our training to NEVER fight the CJ, you are not ready" Blanc "You could've exposed yourself to them"

"I didn't have a choice, Blanc-sama" said Hinata wincing at the continued pinch on her cheek by Blanc. "She was in trouble."

"Yes, I am aware of what Rodin told me" said Blanc as she released Hinata and make her way to Yugito. The petite brown-haired goddess leans forward to directly look at the now nervous blond. "So, the daughter of RED as come"

Yugito suddenly reacted in shock as she heard her father's Gamer Name and stood up.

"You know my father?" said Yugito

"Hai, that determined little pipsqueak and his yellow mouse had his share of trouble" said Blanc "And I'm glad he chose Serena over the other girls he ventured with. Yami do I hate that arrogant bitch Iris."

Yugito feels calm and comfortable now that there is someone to talk to, especially with an old acquaintance of her parents.

"I miss Tou-san" said Yugito "I accepted the Gamer life to find him and honor his legacy" said Yugito as she still holds her Pokémon, an Eevee in her arms.

"I'm sure he'll be proud of you, wherever he may be" said Blanc

Later

Hinata and Yugito stealthily leave through the street using rooftops and alleyways to reach their current destination. Yugito changed in a temporary gear which is a standard ninja jumpsuit which Rodin sold her so that no one from the CJ Kumo branch could recognize her.

The 2 female gamers get there with problems and arrived at the academy, up on the rooftops, Darkborne converses with Megami II, Hinata doesn't know what the 2 were talking about but it doesn't matter as she and Yugito arrived.

"Ah, you made it" said Naruto "Good, now we can begin our quest."

"Allow me to introduce myself" said Megami "I am Megami II."

"Hello, I don't have a Gamer name, so I don't know what to call myself." Said Hinata bowing to Megami.

"Well since you're a newbie, and the term Noob is more insulting than it sounds…I'll just call you Rookie until you earn your Name. Ok?" said Megami.

"H-Hai" said Hinata

"And you are?" said Megami

"Yug…"

"Ah, Ah, no real names" said Megami halting Yugito with a shush gesture over her masked face. "Simple Gamer rule: NEVER use your real name, it's safer that way."

That's what Silver-sensei said…now I understand. Thought Yugito as she sighs at this, she is reluctant to say it but what choice does she have.

"I'm Yellow" said a disheartened Yugito. "It's Poke-Gamers use colors as their Gamer Names, it sounds stupid, nothing cool like Darkborne or Megami."

"Introduction's done, shall we go now?" said Megami being hastily than before, and Naruto noticed.

"You alright?" said Naruto to Megami as he and her walk to the rooftop door.

"Not really, suddenly information about my father that I didn't know until recently appeared in my head" said Megami "it's like I used a Shadow Clone for recon and its relayed information to me. But I never used Shadow Clone, but this info transferred to me."

"What's the info?"

Megami frowned darkly under her mask, her onyx eyes burn red with the Mangekyō Sharingan, which was strange at first because she didn't gain it yet.

"My father's confession"

This took Naruto back in shock when he heard it, before returning to the past he told Megami about what Fugaku did in the confession, now suddenly that information he was about to extract again from that Uchiha Bastard later again was transferred to Megami already?

Naruto is confused at this and decided to ask Yami about it later, but first they have a quest to do.
