Chapter 13

Morning: Dark Tower

Morning rose once more at the Dark Tower for a new day has come, Naruto woke up from the first light of dawn and got ready before descending to the throne room. Everyone is refreshed and had a good nights rest, especially Yugito now that she is no longer on the run and to constantly keep a distance from her pursuers ever time she takes a break. This dark sanctuary of hers is perfect and she feels grateful to have the next Overlord as her ally.

She was summoned at the throne room, escorted by the minion master Gnarl, informing the girl about the proper etiquettes of being a quest, such as to not speak unless spoken to, answer honestly and all that nonsense. But Yugito listens regardless until they reached the throne room. Naruto waits for her while sitting on his throne, which basks his Overlord aura in the area, accompanied with his servants Scanty and Kneesocks who stands in front acting as his personal guard, the Black Heart herself stands by the left side of the throne and the NPC Naomi sits on is lap acting like a cute pets as she lets him stroke her long crimson hair.

"Now bow before Lord Darkborne, the one true evil and Champion of the Dark Goddess Yami" Gnarl exclaims out to all before he kneels before Naruto.

Everyone kneels down, except Naomi who is still on his lap but he doesn't mind. Naruto sighs at this and held out his gauntlet clad hand.

"Gnarl, that's not necessary" said Naruto "We are all friends here and I know they are loyal to me."

"But it'd be disrespectful, sire." said "Plus, an Overlord..."

"Should be feared and worships like Yami herself, I know." said Naruto "But can all this be reserved to my subjects and enemies?"

"Forgive me, but what am I?" said Yugito calling out tom wonder what role she plays in Naruto's reign.

"An ally" said Naruto as he stands up, causing Naomi to jump off much to her displeasure. "But the way I see it, I think we're could be considered siblings."

"Siblings?" said Yugito

"you were a Jinchuriki of the Nibi, correct?" said Naruto

"H-Hai" Yugito was startled to hear that Naurto knows about that. "How did you..."

"Because I too am one...well the only one" said Naruto as he channel Juubi's chakra into the air, the sensation felt so familiar to the PokeGamer especially when its could not compare to Nibi's own. "On that very night, all 9 beasts were fused together to resurrect the Juubi which now resides me."

"Oct 10th, Hai I remember that night." said Yugito "Both a miracle and a curse, Matabi-chan and I were friends, but she was also the reason why Kumo hated me."

"Such as the curse of Jinchuriki, to be sacrificed to hold an unnatural force to be reckoned with and be ostracized instead of praised as a martyr." said Naruto frowning "and being a Gamer is no different, thanks to the corrupt influence of the Censored Justice."

"And now you hold the burden for the other 8 while you contain the combined forces that would start an apocalypse." said Yugito, her skin run cold from fear when her words invade her imagination. To imagine what Naruto could do with the Juubi against the Hidden Village...no the entire world. He could destroy the world if he could control such raw terrifying power inside of him. But then a realisation came to mind...he couldn't simply use the Juubi's power, not fully. But when he can, Kami help those fools who dare challenge him.

Naruto didn't notice the look of dread on Yugito's face, and even if he did it wouldn't matter anyway, Overlords are feared anyway and it makes no difference if he has a beast of mass destruction inside him or not.

"All caused by my bastard father" said Naruto "He saved that pitiful village and left me to pay the consequence of his Heroism. I was but a tool in his game, he used me his own son to save that Yami-forsaken village that became a bane of my life and made my entire childhood a living hell!"

Naruto seeps out Juubi's malevolent chakra, choking the air of it's evil aura, all succumb to it like a dark miasma weighing them down. Such wrath pars with the Dark Goddess herself, and poor Yugito who took much of the chakra collapses on all fours in a penitent position.

"I am sorry" said Yugito trying to fight of the weighing miasma caused by the Juubi's chakra triggered by the Overlord's wrath. But suddenly the chakra flow stops and Naruto started to laugh.

"I didn't call you here so that I can blame you for my so called curse" said Naruto "Juu-chan is wonderful company, a real tease when she wishes to be, but wonderful nonetheless."

"Wish Matabi-chan is still here with me." said Yugito feeling a little jealous of Naruto, she had the Nibi for a while before Naruto was born. And she got lonely when the Biju was painfully stripped out of her body on that very night. Years of loneliness, even before she discovered her Gamer powers and made new friends out of Pokemon.

Naruto noticed the look of sadness on Yugito's face, even though Jinchuriki would despise the beasts inside them for their horrid lives, in time the demon and host would come to get along, and it's proven with Juubi and the Overlord.

"That can me arranged...in a way" said Naruto as he reach out his hand to gesture Naomi to approach him. The NPC didn't hesitate and cuddles into him and he responds by wrapping his arm around. "Naomi-chan was created by the remained Chakra I extracted from a Psudeo-Jinchuriki I'm yet to face again. And despite the Biiju's gone, their chakra still remains in their hosts, granting them abilities that benefit their new Gamer lives."

"Wait, so you're saying that I might have Matabi's chakra inside me?" said Yugito

"That's right, and if you want I can create for you an NPC with the Nibi's remained Chakra." said Naruto

Yugito was in awe at the offering, but then she grew suspicious as there must be a purpose of the Overlord's generosity...that's what she calls it.

"What's the catch?" said Yugito

Naruto chuckles at this and calmly paces around his guest, still with Naomi in his embrace.

"Glad you're not so gullible, true this offer comes with a price but it's not too dear" said Naruto "You see, you're not the first Jinchuriki I met, the two I met serve a...rival of mine, my Uncle who goes by the Gamer name Akenomyosei or the Demon Prince. All I ask is that you serve me and be loyal, then in return I'll revive the Nibi as your NPC for you and much more."

"More?" said Yugito

"If you are need of assistance, I will be happy to help." said Naruto "That first time I helped is because you were with Hinata, who I am about to help train her into a strong Gamer."

"So it was just coincidence" said Yugito

"No, if it were a coincidence then I would've already know the outcome" said Naruto "We never met originally, your arrival is new when I started this quest. So think of it as fate working in both our favour."

Naruto then loosen his hold on Naomi and makes his way out.

"Give time to think about it, there's no rush" said Naruto

"And where will you be doing until then?" said Yugito

"Iruka has informed me that the opening exams are starting" said Naruto as he makes his way for the tower portal. "another quest for me to start and so little time."

"I see" said Yugito nodding with understanding.

"But in the meantime, my servants will make you visit here most pleasurable" said Naruto before he phases through the portal and teleports to Konoha. "Ja ne"

Hyuuga compound: Hinata's room

Hinata woke up early this morning, she was informed by Hizashi of the Academy Opening Exams that the mixture of nervousness and excitement sprung her out of bed. Today will be the moment where she'll be training with Naruto, and the thought of her and him next to each other while in lesson causes her cream coloured cheeks to blush red. But right now she has to focus, the opening exams are new in the academy but she was informed on what to do with them.

"Ok, you can do this" said Hinata "I will show how strong and confident I am to Naruto-kun" Hinata with her fists pumped with determination, but sadly her nervousness returns with a vengeance when mental images of Naruto watching and worse, judging her plague her mind. "But he'd be watching me, oh Yami he'll be watching."

"You can do it, Hinata-chan" said Madame Butterfly. "And Naruto will support you, he saw you fight in the dungeons last night and you gained the courage to fight by his side against Cocytus. SO don't you worry, for he and I are with you."

Words of kindness is exactly what Hinata needed to chase the fears away, she thank her demon and gets herself ready to leave for the academy, ironically that the next quest as a gamer would be at the same place.

Haruno Residence

Kizashi Haruno is just at the end of a meeting with Fugaku Uchiha via the Magic Lantern Jutsu, discussing about the incident of their secret meeting room deep below the Academy, they are deeply concerned about Cocytus and the Wight infestation getting out of hand. But of course they are also discussing about their own personal and private matters that is outside the jurisdiction of the CJ, especially when it involves the future of their certain children.

"The Entrance Exam is rather unusual, not to mention controversial" said Kizashi

Controversial or not, it's still the law despite many of us lost the vote against it...how did a mere Chunnin like Iruka managed to persuade the council got me puzzled" said Fugaku

"Are you going to investigate this?" said Kizashi

"No time, unfortunately. The Wight infestation and the issued curfew on Konoha has put the Police force on overtime" said Fugaku "I had to stay in the Precinct overnight and more."

"Damn, I don't envy you one bit." said Kizashi "Sasuke-kun will be very disappointed since he wanted you to walk him over to the Academy."

"It can't be helped, unlike you however"

"Acctually, I'm busy too" said Kizashi "Mebuki will take Sakura-chan to the Academy instead, I have another mission given by the Grandmaster."

"Sightings of PokeGamer refugees?" Fugaku assumed.

"Correct, many from Kumo to Kiri managed to flee the nation and sentinels reported that they made refuge in Training Grounds 44"

"This is getting out of hand, the attack on one of our meeting rooms, the wight infestation and now sightings of PokeGamers in Konoha...something is not right but I can't place my tongue on it" said Fugaku

"I know, but we'll figure it out, don't worry."

Fugaku's projection suddenly starts to yawn and rub his left eye with his balled fist.

"This overtime is draining me, I better get some sleep."

"We'll talk later, Censore Iustitea"

After that, Kizashi cuts off his Magic Lantern Jutsu and he starts to yawn also, suddenly a knock on the door is heard and a girl's voice speaks out from the other side.

"Tou-san, Kaa-san and I are leaving for the Academy."

"Ok, good Luck Sakura-chan" said Kizashi

Uchiha Clan compound

Izumi is peacefully sleeping in her bed, she is off duty for the day as she worked too much in her double life, as an ANBU of Konoha and as an elusive gamer loyal to Darkborne. But sadly her slumber ends when a certain annoyance in her life has come to spoil it for her.

KNOCK

KNOCK

The rattling on her door echoes in her room, the teenage Uchiha's eyes shone red from her Sharingan, a reaction the Uchihas make when they are angered or annoyed, but she sighed and allow her red eyes revert to calm pitch black. She shift her eyes to the door and speaks out to the one who rudely awoken her.

"What is it?" said Izumi

"Onee-chan, can you take me to the academy?"

On the other side of the bedroom door is Izumi's little brother Sasuke, he is dressed in white shorts and a dark blue turtle neck shirt with the Uchiha emblem on the back. He is up early so that he can take the academy opening exams and he wanted his sister to take him, even though Izumi herself wanted to rest today from her double life.

Izumi got up regardless and opens her door to confront her brother, she looks at her brother tirelessly and void of emotions, she really needed sleep.

"Sorry, but I can't" said Izumi before she flick Sasuke between his eyes. "I had a busy night and I need rest. Go ask someone else."

After that, she closes door on him.

Sasuke is not happy, crossing his arms and sulked at Izumi's rejection. He mutters under his breath and walks away with a huff. After a quick breakfast with only his mother Mikoto since Fugaku is still in work. Sasuke makes his way for the Academy, although he wished that his big sister would take him there, as an excuse to spend some time with her, but sadly that isn't the case.

"She's always working at evening and always tired" Sasuke mutters to himself. "I mean sure I understand that she's an ANBU, but she could at least spare some time with me.

"Going alone, Sasuke

Sasuke turns to see his new neighbour Saigo no Ha, a man that could belong the Uchiha Clan it not possible an older version of the young Uchiha boy, if they only knew who this man truly is.

"Hello, Saigo-san" Sasuke bows to, what he doesn't know, his older counterpart. "Hai, Onee-chan is too tired, Kaa-san has housework and Tou-san is at the station."

"Hai, it's not easy for them to hold such responsibilities upholding the Uchiha Clan's strength" said Saigo "But I assure you, you will understand it soon once you become a ninja"

"Wish they would at least have time to take me" said Sasuke

"Well I'm taking Julien and Angelica to the Academy" said Saigo "Why not join us, we're going the same way."

Even though Saigo no Ha as just been the Uchiha Clan's neighbour for a nearly a week, Sasuke suddenly feels safe to be around the man. He nods and accepts his older counterpart's invitation and they both walk together so they can regroup with the others known as Julien and Angelica. Little do they know that they are being spied on, up on the rooftops is Shirou Emiya with a pair of binoculars, watching the 2 Sasukes walk across the street, then he looks further to see the main reason why he is in Konoha and in this timeline. Julien Ainsworth and his toy Angelica.

He snarls under his uncurled lips, the temptation of ending the bastard is too great, but knowing that would compromise his quest involving his future father and current Overlord of this timeline.

"Soon" Shirou said as he begrudgingly watches his nemesis walk away, and he too has to move also, for he has an exam to take down in the academy.

Ninja Academy: Yard

Candidates have come from all over Konoha from known ninja clans to simple civilian families, all have come as an act of duty or to achieve their dreams of being ninja. Naruto stands among the crowd, dressed in his Orange Tracksuit and Green Goggles.

Never thought I'd be in this again, Naruto thought as he sighs disgustingly at his attire, the thought of it makes him sick that he was to wear it to fool the everyone in Konoha. Then again, it's for the best since they don't know who I really am, deception is key being a ninja, and the fools do not realise it.

Naruto chuckles that Konoha does not realise that they were deceived, the ultimate prank for Naruto to play. Even Juubi chuckles at the idea since she has little love...sorry immense hatred for Konoha.

"Not only that, within their midst is their eventful doom once your armies return to invade"

We need to deal with some complications first before strike, Juu-chan Naruto thought while he looks around. Among the group of faceless nobodies, he noticed a handful of familiar faces within. The first is a wild looking boy in a grey furred hoodie and a small white puppy on his head, his head of covered by his furred hood but his face shows many traits representing his ninja clan, including the pup on his head. Never thought I'd see Dog-boy again.

Kiba Inuzuka

Description: Son of Koga and Tsume Inuzuka, a wild and arrogant bastard which is much the displeasure to be from Naruto's childhood, once friends in the early years but it was short lived however when he be started bullying him afterwards. Luckily Naruto didn't see him much as he never wanted to, thank Yami.

The pup on his head is Akamaru, his Ninken companion which was given by his mother to raise and train with. With Akamaru, Kiba can be a formidable opponent once trained and mastered the ways of the ninja.

Kiba howls wildly with excitement as he is getting impaitent, Akamaru yips at his master/partner in agreement. Naruto looks away so that Kiba wouldn't notice him. There he notices a couple of familiar faces, each a companied with their fathers who are talking to each other like old friends.

One next to him is a quiet boy with messy hair in a high collared coat and pair of pince-nez sunglasses. His expression is void of any emotions, Naruto thought he was weird back in his Pre-Gamer life, but that is nothing when his Observe revealed something about the boy much worse.

Shino Aburame

Heir to the Aburame Clan who form a symbiotic bond with Parasitic Beetles by becoming human hives for them.

Naruto felt his spine run cold for a moment, the thought of having thousands of parasitic insects crawl up inside your body and make it a home. A demon is enough for Naruto to be called a home is enough, for the Juubi is pleasant company to have over a swarm of parasites feasting on your chakra.

Naruto looks away from the creepy Aburame boy and turns his attention on another familiar face, another face that doesn't help the Overlord's mood one bit.

One is a skinny lad with dark hair tied into a pineapple style ponytail, he has a bored or tired expression on his face, muttering under his breath which could come out as "troublesome." He is hearing a short light rey jacket with ninja mesh underneath and a pair of dark grey pants, colours quite ideal for ninjas to blend in the dark.

Shikamaru Nara

Son of Shikaku Nara and next in line of the Nara Clan. Despite his lazy attitude, Shikamaru is a prodigy and could easily be a born leader if his lazy attitude didn't get in the way. He may not look much, he is an excellent thinker but rather avoid complications rather than get involved.

Naruto scoffs at the lazy prodigy and turns to the boy next to him, he is a chubby looking lad who is enjoying a bag of BBQ flavour crisps, He has messy brown hair and swirls on his cheeks, like his father who is also has a large figure, he is talking to Shikamaru as they are good friends.

Chōji Akamichi

Son of Choza Akamichi and next in line of the Akamichi Clan, some would underestimate Chōji due to him being overweight, but little do they know that his size and weight has a purpose for performing his clan's family jutsus which. He takes pride of his clan and his appetite and he does not take insults about his weight well.

Naruto once witnessed Chōji's reaction when an an arrogant bully called him "Fatso" and it didn't go well...for the bully. Chōji has a few tricks up his sleeves along with a few more bags of BBQ crisps in his forest green jacket. Naruto then turns to the only girl in the group.

Unlike her father and other boys who are in their own conversation group, she distance herself and doesn't get involve, her pupil-less green eyes looks around as if she is looking for something or someone, Naruto has a good idea who.

Ino Yamanaka

Daughter of Inoichi Yamanaka, a fan-girl of Sasuke Uchiha and love rival of Sakura Haruno. Not much about her since she is more interested in being Sasuke's girlfriend than being a Kunoichi of Konoha, but despite her "fangirl phase" her clan is well known and can be used for interroations and recon missions.

Naruto doesn't share any good memories with the platinum blonde girl as she is but another bully in his childhood, especially when it involves her "Sasuke-kun" and bullies him just get the Uchiha's affections. Suddenly another girl arrives in the Overlord's sight, a girl he knows very well and also embarrassed at the fact that he had a crush on.

Sakura Haruno

Daughter of Kizashi Haruno, the "Spring Samurai" of the Censored Justice. Born from a civilian family but well known in Konoha through Kizashi. Sakura was Naruto's former crush in his pre-gamer life, but as he gained insight his opinion on Sakura changed for the better. Not sure yet if he'll view Sakura as a foe or friend, considering that Sakura is also the Daughter of a Gamer "Cherry Blade."

Naruto frowns at Sakura, not maliciously though but with caution. He faced her father before and he believe that Sakura's cruel attitude over him was influenced by Kizashi, manipulating her just like he secretly manipulated Cherry Blade into being his wife, just because he desired her. And to make matters worse, Kizashi and Fukagu planned an arranged marriage between their children just to strengthen their alliance in and out of the Censored Justice.

Right now Sakura and Ino are once again insulting each other, both had it bad over Sasuke, who is now leaning on a tree, either brooding or sulking. But in during their little spat, Sakura suddenly felt a sudden jolt of pain in her head for a second, but she just blames it on "Ino-pig's" annoying voice.

Sasuke Uchiha

Son of Fukagu Uchiha and heir of the Uchiha Clan.

Naruto discreetly leers at the sulking Uchiha, even in his pre-gamer life he doesn't like the arrogant brat, even when after his clan was massacred in the Pre-Game. Orphan or no, Sasuke hasn't changed in the Overlord's eyes.

Then suddenly Sasuke is accompanied with 2 that are unknown to him, not even the Observe could identify them.

No available data

No avaliable data

Naruto frowns at this when suddenly a familiar voice spoke to him.

"Julien Ainsworth, he's the other reason why I am here in this timeline"

Shirou Emiya is here and now standing next to his future father.

"My Observe has nothing on them, I don't like it."said Naruto with a worried frown.

"A minor disadvantage, but fortunately...or rather unfortunate depend on the circumstance, I know them" said Shirou "So let me deal with them and you can focus on your quest."

"Think you can tell me what to do, eh?" Naruto teases his future son. "You may be my successor, but in this timeline I'm the boss here."

Shirou chuckles at Naruto and they wait for the exams to start, luckily they didn't have to wait long because Iruka Umino suddenly arrives with the Hokage. The candidates and some parents all silence themselves so that Sarutobi can speak.

"young candidates, I welcome you all on your first step of becoming Shinobi of Konoha" said Sarutobi "Now, as you all know there has been an update in the Academy's educational system, before you all can start your studies in the art of ninjutsu. You must prove yourselves that you are ninja material."

Suddenly one of the candidates raise their hand, it belongs to Hinata who is accompanied by Hizashi and a disguised Blanc.

"Ano...is there a reason for this update?" said Hinata "I thought that everyone can learn to be a ninja."

"Normally that be the case, that is because back in the third shinobi war the council got desperate and decided to allow civilians to partake in the ninja academy, and before that it was only exclusively to those in ninja clans." said Sarutobi "Originally it worked, but we were rushing things and that only caused inexperienced Genin to die within their first year as ninja. So a compromise is issued, thought of my Iruka-san here."

"The update are 4 entrance Exam, there you will be evaluated within a series of tests by myself, the Hokage and 3 from the Shinobi Clan council...civilians hare no jurisdiction so they are excluded."

You can imagine the headache I endured when those pompous fools reacted to this Sarutobi thought in annoyance. When the update as issued in, the civilian representatives were not happy that they aren't involved with the judging. And to be frank, they have no experience in being ninjas to begin with.

"Excuse me, but what tests are there?" said Ino when she held out her hand.

"Tests of Knowledge, Skill, Combat and Accuracy" said Iruka "These 4 exams will determine if you all have what it takes to be a ninja, and waste little time on those who aren't. The results will determine if you are qualified to learn in the academy or not. But don't worry, the exams are annually so you can try again if you haven't passed."

Murmurs suddenly fill the area with concern, mixing with doubt and worry that the exams would either be unfair or hard, perhaps both. Naruto remains quiet and so does Shirou, even though he never had any ninja training to begin with, but his Assassin Class might benefit him since there are similarities between them.

Hinata is worried, but the thought of Naruto keeps her strong, especially when there's a certain reward if she succeeds.

Eye on the Prize, Hinata, thought Hinata as she took it a bit literal when her Byakugan is turned on, accidently seeing through Naruto's clothing and peeking at underneath. She immediately shuts off her Byakugan, but the damage is already done. Oh, Yami...I just saw his…

Blanc noticed this and gave Hinata a discreet smack on the back of her head.

"Focus, you can oogle on Darkborne later" Blanc whispered

Hizashi chuckled at his niece and stands calmly to listen to Iruka and Sarutobi.

"Does anyone have any questions you want to ask us?" said Sarutobi

Naruto smirked and held out his hand, he asked with a rather rash tone.

"Yeah I got one" Naruto exclaimed, his tone is like what he was back in his pre-gamer life. "Can start now?"

Everyone laughed, not just because it was an ironic joke of it being a question, but the fact that Naruto was acting foolish, but little do they know is that is what Naruto wanted them to think. Deceive them and make them lose their guard, Shirou was taken back at this at first but realised what his future father is doing. The auburn haired stayed anonymous and blend in, trying to ignore the harsh comments about Naruto.

"Ha, he's gonna flunk the entrance exams"

"Yeah, there's no way he'll be a ninja."

"He's got no family, a clanless orphan has no change."

Sarutobi sighed at Naruto and shook his head, Iruka palmed his face and sighed, both look at each other and nodded.

"If you excuse me, it's time for me to leave" said Sarutobi to the candidates, "all I can do now is wish you good luck."

After that, the Hokage vanishes in a swirl of leaves via shunshin jutsu.

"Now then, if you all can follow me please, we can start the first part of the exams." said Iruka

The candidates left their parent's side and followed Iruka into the Academy, they watch their children enter and wait for a while before hesitantly leave for home.

Written Exam

The candidates follow Iruka to a classroom in the second floor labeled "3-1" where its mostly used for written tests for the Chunnin Exams. But as they enter, they have no idea what to do next.

"Alright, you will be given a card with a number on it. That number represents your seat in the classroom." said Iruka as he gives each and everyone a number card. He discreetly Naruto, Shirou and Hinata their card where their seats are close to each other but also discreet.

Naruto sits on the second row in the middle column while Hinata sits next to him, she couldn't help but blush as she is literally next to him. Shirou behind at the third row. Naruto looks around and noticed that those he know are at random seats and far away from him, which is good because he wanted to concentrate on passing the opening exams. Suddenly a message box appears in front of Naruto.

Optional quest: Who's the fool?

Pass the Opening exams while posing as the "foolish loser"

Reward: Surprise from Iruka

Naruto slightly raised his brow at the optional quest, first time he ever had one for a while, but the rewards for it intrigue him quite much. But it's quite convenient for him since he wants to fool the village and keep his persona Darkborne a secret until the right moment.

"Like I said before, there will be 4 parts of this exam" said Iruka "And the First Exam will test your knowledge as a Ninja, meaning you will be taking a simple Written Exam."

Not surprising to him that the candidates would moan and groan at this for written tests are the bane of all adolescent students, hell the word "exam" would leave a bad taste in your mouth.

"Alright, alright shut up!" Iruka exclaimed with annoyance, he heard it all before and he never once got over it. "Listen, the exam is to test your intellect, it takes brains to be a ninja not just brawn and skill, now listen because I'm about to say this only once."

Iruka started explaining the rule of the written exam while writing it down on the chalkboard.

"You will be given an hour on the written exam, 20 questions are needed to be answered correctly before then. However, other teachers of this academy will be here so that there would not be any cheating whatsoever, if any cheating spotted then you will fail the exams and will forfeit your changes in studying the ninja academy."

Many nervous looks are shown in the crowd, especially when academy teachers arrive and surround the perimeter of the classroom. A few approach Iruka who passes them each a bundle of test sheets, they passes them all the candidates. Naruto noticed that one of the teacher who is passing the test sheets, a person he has the displeasure to know, a certain silver haired bastard Mizuki.

Like in the Pre-gamer life, Mizuki will try to sabotage Naruto, but fortunate for our Overlord he has a secret ally within the Academy. Iruka is aware of Mizuki's deception and betrayal and decided to feign ignorance so that the bastard wouldn't know he's been exposed, and let his arrogance become his downfall.

"You may all begin" said Iruka

The written exam is just the basics, comprised with questions about simple knowledge of maths, history and language at a primary school level. Surely Konoha has the basic forms of education run by the civilian council, which Naruto was obviously denied by the prejudiced council...and not surprisingly by the Censored Justice, fearing that education would be dangerous for a "Demon" to have.

But Naruto isn't dumb, in his pre-gamer life he was denied education at first but was educated anyway when he enrolled at the academy, Iruka even tutored him while earning his share of scolding and detentions...which did help him buck up his studies and discipline. And even though the Iruka before him is from a different reality, he is grateful.

Naruto had no problem with this written exams, plus his insight noticed that his exam sheet was tampered by a well hidden genjustsu seal, courtesy of Mizuki. Naruto used his Sharingan while hiding them with his green goggles to locate the seal and dispel it. The false questions face away to reveal true ones, Naruto then went to work.

3 Insight obtained

Awesome, thought Naruto as he gained Insight for discovering Mizuki's betrayal on his test sheet. He writes on the test while tricking mizuki my fake gestures of confusion from frowning to hair grabbing. Naruto knows the silver haired bastard is discreetly smirking at him but the Overlord is laugh mentally, finding Mizuki's arrogance hilarious, even Iruka noticed and shared the humour.

But despite the deception, the questions are indeed hard and sometimes Naruto didn't have to fake his confusion with those questions. Hinata is nervous with the written exam but being with Naruto helped slightly and also hearing the alluring temptations from Madame Butterfly whispering in her ear.

"If you're stuck, you can always cheat"

But cheating is bad, even for Gamers thought Hinata

"You wouldn't be cheating as a Gamer, you'll be cheating as a Kunoichi" said Madame Butterfly "Yami-sama will allow it."

Hinata is reluctant but Madame Butterfly is right, especially when Ninjas cheat for a living, lie and cheat is what they do. She lower her hear and carefully activate her Byakugan, her pearl-like eyes starts scanning around her field of vision for correct answers, even Madame Butterfly helps within Limbo, looking over the shoulders of the Normies. The young Hyuuga managed, but she's still not confident about cheating...give her time.

While Naruto, Hinata and Shirou casually write out answers on their test sheet, others have other methods in answering theirs.

Kiba uses Akamaru perched on his head to sniff out correct answers from other candidates. Normally its unusual for puppies to know what's right or wrong but Akamaru was trained by the Inuzuka Clan to scent out information that will benefit them, and it also helps Kiba when he also learned how to commune with his Ninken companion just like the rest of his Clan.

Shino's methods are creepy, he uses insects inside of him to spy on the other candidates and gather information for him to answer.

Shikamaru just lazily answers it with his keen intellect, just like Sakura who has book-smarts on her side, which Ino took advantage on when she uses the Clan's Mind Possession Jutsu on the Pink Haired girl. Chōji tries his best answering the questions, his clan jutsus aren't useful with it comes of testing his knowledge.

Sakura however, dispite being manipulated by Ino's Mind Possession Jutsu for a breif moment and then released afterwards, is doing well. She uses her book smarts on the Written Exam, but her concentration gets interrupted by random headaches, not only that she can feel her vision darken as if the lights in the room are failing. But that's not all, she can hear whispers, faint whispers calling her name...or rather singing it.

"Sakura...Sakura~

Suddenly she leap out when she felt a slender hand claw onto her scalp, where the source of her headache is and starts to worsen. She tighten her eyes to enduce the pain while the a clawed unseen hand dig deep into to her scalp and burrow into her brain.

"SAKURA!"

But it all ended suddenly, her headache stops and her vision is back with everything in the light. She was confused at this but shrugged at it and resumed her test.

Sasuke Uchiha is answering with flying colours, that is because he has the easiest questions courtesy of Mizuki who wanted Sasuke to pass the Entrance Exams and have another strong Uchiha in Konoha's shinobi military.

But as the candidates work on the written exam, a series of terminations occur in time and the teachers dismiss those who were caught cheating, CAUGHT and exposed is what Ninjas should not do in their career. Many tried to protest and demand to stay, but Iruka and the Academy teachers threw them out regardless.

The number of candidates were decimated thanks to their foolishness, leaving only the potential left to finish the exam before their time is up.

Stealth and Infiltration Exam

The exam takes place out of the academy and into one of the training rooms where a test site built to resemble of a Daimyo Compound stands their goal in the exam is to retrieve a scroll and escape without detection. Chūnin Volunteers partake to role play as guards on patrol so that the candidates can try-out. Getting caught will result in disqualification. Like the written exam, this roots out the disqualified and shows impressive forms of stealth and infiltration from the remaining potential.

Each candidate are watched by Iruka and the other teachers in the academy monitor rooms, observing the screens linked up by hidden cameras posted in the test site. Getting caught will result in disqualification. Like the written exam, this roots out the disqualified and shows impressive forms of stealth and infiltration from the remaining potential.

Kiba uses his pup to sniff and search out openings and to alert him for incoming dangers when he snuck in the site. Shino Aburame, a boy Naruto forgot about, has an unusual method involving insects, a swarm of parasitic beetles fly to the guards to distract them while Shino hides within the swarm to retrieve the scroll and then out, using fear and confusion as a weapon for this part.

Hinata uses her Byakugan and Madame Butterfly to guide her, all are in her sight and she'll be a few steps ahead from the guards in the test sight.

Shikamaru uses his brain and form a plan on how to infiltrate the test site Ino uses her Mind Swap Jutsu to possess one of the "guards" while she remains out of sight, Chōji was a bit clumsy due to his body size but was lucky to get the scroll and out anyway.

Sasuke calmly infiltrates the test site, but due to his Uchiha status this exam is rigged for him to pass it, any guard would look the other way, make of excuses of that Sasuke was almost caught. Sadly, the same wouldn't go for Naruto, not that he cared as it would benefit him nonetheless. Our Overlord figured that Mizuki would once again try to rig this exam also, considering that the volunteers are old… acquaintances of Naruto's, members of the angry mob that partake in Konoha's "fox-hunts".

Iruka noticed this but did not intervene, he knows that Naruto will be fine and kept his faith in his master. Pretends to see nothing and watches Naruto hide while Mizuki betrays his location to the guards, but as the guard approach Naruto's hiding spot he wasn't there, this surprised Mizuki while Iruka secretly smirked at the bastard.

Mizuki once again searches for Naruto but cannot see him, not even the cameras can search for him and they all have night-vision, heat vision and UV. This puzzles the judges as they have no idea where Naruto is.

The truth is, Naruto is up on the rafters, he figured that Mizuki would expose him to the guards, so he had to hide from the camera's sight, this would cost him points from the judges in the exam...and that is exactly what Naruto wanted.

Naruto scoffs at the sloppiness of the security, and how foolish not to put the most obvious spots under surveillance too. Sticking into the shadows, and away from the guards hunting him he reaches for his destination. Naruto uses his Sharingan to seek out for any cameras and make sure any guards aren't around corners or behind walls.

"Ok, lets to this" said Naruto as he pull out his chain dart to hook on the rafter and rappel down to retrieve the scroll. But as Naruto was about to reach out for the scroll, a rumble of hurried footsteps rumbles on the floor as the entire guard rushes in to the room and catch and possibly attack Naruto. Naruto wasted no time and climbs up in the rafters, however the cameras saw him rappel and climb up his chain, meaning that Mizuki knows how he kept hidden and it wouldn't be hard for the guard to know also thanks to that silver haired bastard.

The Guards pull out their weapons and started chopping at the support beams in the ceiling, attempting to drag Naruto down. Luckily Naruto has darkness as his ally, he uses Shadow Veil to merge into the darkness and simply escape unseen, he leaves the foolish bastards to try and find him, unaware that he left the test site, thus passing the Second Exam.

But due to this being an exam, the performances of stealth and infiltration must be observed by the cameras in the test site, and Naruto was not in view costing him points. Mizuki no doubt left the rafters out of sight so that Naruto would struggle from the exams.

I need to thank Mizuki later before I could get a quest involving his Death thought Naruto with a hidden smirk.

With Iruka

The Head Remnant of Ombré chuckles with amusement at how Naruto made a fool out of Mizuki, to see the furious expressions on Mizuki's face when Naruto escaped the test site unscathed. The Silver haired bastard grit his teeth hard and grinds them tightly until they ache and chip off. Oh, how amusing for Iruka, but he knows well that the other 2 exams are next and undoubtedly Mizuki will plot another scheme on Naruto, just like before in the Pre-Gamer life and in Iruka's former dimension.

"A handful failed the Stealth and Infiltration, espionage is key to a ninja and those who pass have potential" said Iruka before turning to the rest of the teachers. "is the next exam ready?"

"Hai" said one of the teachers, "we got it ready while the 2nd exam was in progress."

"But we need to arrange the matches though" said another teacher.

"I see, call them to the main hall and wait for my arrival." said Iruka

The teachers nod and leave the monitor room, only Mizuki remains with Iruka and this would be the best chance to confront him.

"I know what you're planning, Mizuki" said Iruka

This caught Mizuki by surprise and hastily feigned ignorance.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Lied Mizuki

Iruka chuckled and said nothing else as he leaves the monitor room, Mizuki snarls behind his back but Iruka is aware and smiled in secret. But as Iruka left the monitor room, the fury of Mizuki got out of hand and he smashes one of the screens to vent his anger.

"Curse you, Iruka" growled Mizuki "Get suspicious all you want, but we both know that you never cared about that demon brat."

Ha, if only he knew. Outside the monitor room Iruka eavesdropped for a moment before leaving for the next exam. While he walks through the corridors, he was discreetly joined by one of his fellow Remnants, Hayate Gekkō.

"The candidates are ready" said Hayate

"Good, and what the Ainsworths" said Iruka

"Surprisingly they're still in the group despite them not having a4ny ninja skills" said Hayate as he pass Iruka a clipboard containing the names of the remaining candidates.

"Shirou isn't a ninja either, and even he is full of surprises" said Iruka while he smile proudly. "Like father, like son indeed."

"So, what now?" said Hayate.

"Regroup with the others and keep an eye on those two, and make sure that Shirou doesn't do anything stupid." said Iruka

"Hai" said Hayate before vanishing in a swirl of leaves.

Iruka looks over at the clipboard while heading for the main hall.

Academy: Main Hall

The remaining Candidates line up in the hall, waiting for what they assumed to be the next exam, however the second exam did take its toll on them and signs of fatigue is obvious to everyone, Naruto however isn't tired but decided to play along by sitting on the floor and posing an inpatient expression.

Others are resting, Shikamaru is leaning on the wall, napping and talking to Chōji who is sharing a bag of crisp with his friend. Sakura and Ino are once again fighting their futile battles over the young Uchiha's affections. Kiba is occupied by playing/training Akamaru with a game of fetch, Shino is at a distance, away from people because they are creeped out from his beetles.

And Hinata, well Hinata is hesitant to give Naruto some company but Madame Butterfly persuades her and give her some courage to act. Shirou blends in with the crowd, spying on the Ainsworths like a predator in tall grass, thoughts of ending the bastard and his toy is tempting but doesn't want to jeopardize his future father's quest over a selfish thing like revenge.

Suddenly Iruka arrives and heads for the hall stage, the candidates hastily take a seat and wait for Iruka to speak.

"Thank you all for coming here" said Iruka "Now for the third exam, the exam will start tomorrow morning"

One of the candidates raise their hand, it was Sakura.

"Yes, err Sakura Haruno" said Iruka looking down at the clipboard, he knows who she is from his former dimension, but he must stay in character and pretend he just met Sakura through assembly.

"Is there a reason for the delay?" said Sakura "I thought we'd be taking these exams straight on."

"The preparations for the next exam and the other after that aren't ready" said Iruka "Plus, partaking the first 2 can be tiring for the body and mind. So, it is decided to continue tomorrow while you all rest your body and minds."

The candidates clamour at this, filling the room with murmurs and shouting it rudely interrupts Iruka. Iruka has little patience for this and slams his fist on the podium in front of him and roars out.

"QUIET!"

Suddenly the Hall drops into silence as the candidates stop speaking.

"Rest of the body and mind is crucial for the ninja, now return home and wait for tomorrow" said Iruka before leaving the stage. The group didn't hesitate to leave the academy and head on home, especially when there is a curfew in Konoha and the Wights come out at night.

Naruto takes his leave also, but not alone apparently.

Konoha Streets

Naruto offered to walk Hinata home when Hizashi arrived to take Hinata back but being the nice uncle, he is he allows the 2 lovebirds some time together and kept it a little secret. Hinata is still trying to fight off her shy and nervousness but it's hard when she is literally a foot apart from the boy she liked.

Naruto knows that Hinata is still shy, and that is what he likes about her, her blushes add some colour to her beautiful cream skin. Even her Pearl-like eyes are wonderful to stare at, even if she avert them nervously when Naruto's blue eyes are the ones looking at them.

"You are doing well," said Naruto with a smile. "you have gained much confidence and strength that you never thought you'd had. You mother and father would be proud."

"I'm sure they are" said Hinata her blush deepens from such kind words from Naruto, she can feel getting more confident and comfortable around Naruto more now. No longer will the harsh words of her false father Hiashi torment her, try as he might to belittle her she has friends and true family with her.

The day in Konoha darkens from the dusk, but the sunset creating the orange and blue sky is a sight to behold for the 2 Gamers, even if the pink cloud do partially cover it. They stop halfway at a local park and watch the sunset until the twilight ends and darkness comes. With the curfew on, Hinata and Naruto had home immediately before dangers lurk out along with harsh authority from either ANBU of the disguised Censored Justice.

It didn't take long for them to reach the Hyūga Compound, and no sign of Wights come to attack them. Perhaps the defeat of Cocytus caused the Wights to halt their terror for a moment, but it's best to stay safe for now and not get any hope up.

"Thank you, Naruto-kun" said Hinata with a smile, she looks at Naruto without any hesitation or nervousness to force them away.

Naruto bows like a gentleman and makes his way home himself, but unlike Hinata's trip home it was never safe for Naruto and he knows it. Right on schedule the fools blinded with hatred start them pursue on our Overlord, but Naruto is a few steps ahead and lures them into a trap.

He turns to the darkest alley and merges into the beautiful shadows with his Veil, the mob let their arrogance walked into the jaws of the dark and sealed their fate.

"We heard that your takin the Entrance Exams, Demon!" exclaimed one of the hateful mobs. "You think we would just sit down and allow that."

Naruto laughs in the shadows, but the mob cannot see him, even if they light up the alley with torches and lanterns. However, the darkness is thick, too thick for the light pierce through and the only light to be seen is thousands of hungry eyes of the Children of Darkness.

"I'm already aware of people trying to stop me but make no mistake that I would not retaliate" said Naruto's voice in the dark. "All who oppose me will suffer the wrath of Yami..."

Suddenly the mob gets dragged deep into the dark by the Children of Darkness, their screams echo in the dark until they are silenced by their own death when the children feast on their flesh. Naruto watches calmly while leaving the dark alley and return home, to his newly furbished apartment for tonight.

"All who oppose me will suffer the wrath of Yami and myself."
