Ninja Academy: 5 minutes earlier

CLANG

Metal clashes in the moonlit halls of the closed ninja academy as Hinata managed to block multiple blades of Royal Ann and her copies produced by the Copy Cherry power-up. Luckily Madame Butterfly came to help when her giant arms sprout out from portals between her tenant and shields the still nameless gamer.

Madame Butterfly then swats away the copies and forces Royal Ann to jump back, a couple of copies puffs into smoke as they took most of the damage from the demon's arms while the rest staggers to get back up on their feet. Royal Ann pants heavily as she is getting tired, but then suddenly her head suddenly twinges in pain, she drop her swords and held tightly to her agonizing head.

"A-AGGHHHH!" exclaimed Royal Ann as she staggers while clutching on with her head.

All around the Royal Ann is now getting dark, she the pain is excruciating as if her head is about to split open.

Is...is this suppose to happen? Thought Royal Ann painfully Am I getting the answers I'm seeking?

Flashback: Hidden Memories

Memory 1

Children are playing in the park, their parents are at viewing distance but are conversing with each other as they're assured of their children's safety in a group. But all aren't huddled in said group as there are a couple who are alone.

Young Sakura is among the couple, being bullied for her huge forehead which she hid away with her bangs. Children still torment her and tease, poking her forehead and laughing at it. Sakura tries to fight back but the bullies out number her and push her down on the ground.

The tormenting would continue when suddenly…

"Leaver her alone!"

The bullies turn then turned their attention to the one calling them out. A young blonde boy with slightly ragged clothes, a white shirt with a red spiral and black pants, a pair of green goggles over his forehead. He stands there, confronting the bullies to stop tormenting the poor girl.

The bullies look at one another and then laughed, they leave Sakura for now and turn their attention on the boy.

"You should walk away while you can, orphan" said the lead bully. "this doesn't concern you."

"I said leave her alone" said the boy, standing his ground and not moving an inch.

The bullies laugh again at the boy's foolishness as they hound around him.

"Well don't say I didn't warn you!" said the lead bully as he then throws the first punch, only for blonde to dodge it and grab his arm. The boy then pulls the lead bully and punched him in the face. "Gah!"

The punch was hard and true, forcing the bully to fall on his arse with a bloody nose, he was shocked by this as the blood drips from his nostrils. He then looked at the blonde and snarls angrily at him.

"GET HIM!"

The boy prepares for the fight, to him its normal as he commences the brawl from the other bullies, earning some punches by the bullies, the boy retaliates by kicking their shins and bloody up their noses, knocking them off their feet and landing on their asses like the lead bully.

The bullies then run away to call for their mothers, running like the cry babies they are, the boy sighed at this, rubbing his bruised whiskered cheek as he approaches Sakura, who was at awe when the boy came to defend her, and fought of the bullies for her.

"Are you alright?" said the boy with a smile.

"Hai" said Sakura as she turned away "Though I could've handled those jerks myself."

"Sorry, I thought you would like some help" said the boy

"Well, I appreciate it, even though its unnecessary" said Sakura "I'm Sakura by the way."

"Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki" said the boy as he offered his hand to Sakura

"Naruto?" said Sakura "you mean the orphan that's been causing allot of trouble around Konoha.

Naruto frowned sadly and looked away, Sakura then felt guilty as she upset her defender.

"Sorry, I..."

"It's ok, I'm use to it" said Naruto "It seems where ever I go, trouble happens."

"Well...you shows me that you're no troublemaker" said Sakura "You helped me, although I didn't need it at first, you shows those jerks good."

Naruto smiled at Sakura, only for Sakura to blush and look away.

So this is when I first met Naruto, helping me from those bullies thought Sakura from viewing the first memory. Naruto was given a bad reputation, tou-san and Kaa-san told me to stay away from him, but I never listened to them. I still hand out with him and we became friends.

Memory 2

Sakura and Naruto hang out in the park, though Sakura was discreet about it because her mother wouldn't be happy to see her with a "menace" she called Naruto. But throughout the days she spend with Naruto, she doesn't view Naruto a menace, sure he pull pranks at the villagers and run away from angry ninjas, but she noticed that their hatred of Naruto runs skin deep, as if they hated his very existence. And an age old question hatches in her head: why?

"Did you do anything to the village to hate you, Naruto?" said Sakura

Naruto shook his head and looked down with sadness in his eyes.

"No, though there were accusations that I do not understand" said Naruto

"Like what?"

"taking away their loved ones, but I never harmed anyone." said Naruto

"You harmed those bullies" said Sakura

"But that's different, I'm taking about murdering people" said Naruto "But I never killed anyone, how can a young boy like me be capable of murder? But that's not all, their hateful eyes, they don't see me as a murderer but as a monster."

"Monster?" said Sakura

"They called me many hurtful things, demon-brat is the most common" said Naruto "They treat me like a monster that needs to be slain, but I didn't do anything."

"That's stupid, you don't look like a monster" said Sakura "A childish baka, definitely, but not a monster."

That cheered Naruto up and he gave her a graceful smile, this causes Sakura to blush and look away.

Baka, why does your smile make me blush? Thought young Sakura

The memory fades into black, and Sakura also blushes at the smile from Naruto, whenever he smiles she reacts to it, and still unsure why she blushes from it.

I was wondering the same thing why, it's only a smile.

"Oh but it's more than that, it shows that he likes you"said Inner Sakura

Well duh, we're friends thought Sakura before she frowns. That is, that I first thought.

"I see that you're realising" said Inner Sakura

Hai, but our secret hangout didn't last long, eventually Kaa-san found out...warning me that Tou-san might notice us.

Memory 3

"Sakura, you've been told!"

"But Kaa-san, he's not what you believe he is" said Sakura

Sakura was found out, luckily by Mebuki. Even though she was influenced by Kizashi she still has some independence within her or else people within Konoha would suspect Kizashi of something heinous, which the Censored Justice will find out that he deceived them. Mebuki brought Sakura to her room to be told off.

"Sakura, that BOY is not to be trusted and be avoided at all cost" said Mebuki "There is something about him I wish to tell you, but cannot due to the law place by the Hokage. Being around him will put you in danger, as the villager's hatred of him is strong and they'll harm anyone who is affiliated with him."

Mebuki sighed at this, it pains her to scold her daughter, but its for her own good.

"When the time is come, you'll come to know the truth about Naruto, and you'll understand why he is hatred and should be hatred."

"I'll never hate him, I saw who he really is and he's not a bad person." said Sakura

"It's sweet of you, but you're still young" said Mebuki as she leaves the bedroom. "This is your final warning, stay away from Naruto...or I'll have to tell your father. And he's not resilient like I am."

The memory fades to black, Sakura frowns at this memory as she was forced to never see Naruto again. But despite the warnings, she never heeded the warning her mother gave her.

I couldn't do it, I wanted to see him smile thought Sakura with a blush. So I snuck out against her wishes and saw Naruto.

"Little did we know that Kaa-san was spying on us" said Inner Sakura "They saw us, and told Kizashi."

Memory 4

A young Sakura sudden wakes up only to find that she cannot move, her eyes opens but halfway because a bright light is beaming down at her face, she tilt her eyes so that her face is away from the blinding light and looked around to see that she is not in her house any more. Unable to move, in an unknown room and no sign of her parents...this causes fear to invade her very being that she's starting to panic.

"Kaa-san? Tou-San?" Sakura calls out while she struggles to get up but her restraints are strapped tight around her ankles and wrists. "Kaa-san! Tou-san!

Suddenly the sound of doors opening is hear, along with footsteps, the lighting of the room is minimum so whoever is entering the room is still unknown to Sakura, and this only heightens the fear in this poor girl.

"Finally awake, Sakura" the familiar voice of her father is heard as he reveal himself to the light of gurney the room, this relieved Sakura but now she is confused. "How are you, still drowsy from your meal?"

Now Sakura is more confused when her father was talking about her meal and how it could it make her feel drowsy, suddenly more footsteps were heard and it reveals to be Fugaku Uchiha and a young make teenager with auburn hair tied to a ponytail and yellow eyes void of any emotions. His attire is similar to that of an ANBU, but the ANBU mask which is hooked on his waist void of any animal features, but the eyes and mouth is covered by black straps.

"Tou-san?" said Sakura who is now getting scared. "What is going on?"

Kizashi sighs sadly while be paces by the gurney which Sakura is strapped to, he remains silent at first until he finally speaks and turns to his retrained daughter.

"Why, Sakura?" said Kizashi "Why did you disobey me again?"

"We were only playing" said Sakura "You said I should make friends."

"That BOY is an exception, he is a menace and a threat to our village and to society." said Kizashi "And if it weren't for the Hokage's decision, he'd be disposed of ages ago and we wouldn't be having this conversation again. Time after time, against my wishes you're still hanging around with that boy…and you leave me with no other options. If my words don't reach you, then another motive will...Foo."

The teen named Foo nods and approaches Sakura, he starts performing hand signs.

"Begin the process" said Kizashi

"Hai, Kizashi-sama" said Foo as he performs a jutsu. "Ninja Art: Mind Possession Jutsu"

Foo suddenly collapses after the jutsu performance and Sakura jolted for a moment before she remained silent, her green eyes loses the shine of emotions to show that she is now possessed by Foo.

"Foo, are you in there?" said Kizashi

"Hai" said Foo/Sakura, both voices speak in sync. "Mind Possession is success...uh..."

"What's wrong?" said Kizashi

"Strange, her mind is resisting...but it's impossible" said Foo as he is struggling to keep his possession on Sakura. "Wait, there's something else in her mind, it's fighting me, I can't...uh...hold...AGH!"

Foo cancels his Mind Possession Jutsu and his mind returns to his body, suddenly Sakura's eyes open eyes and bloodshot with rage as she starts to scream like a feral beast, her hands claw up while trying to break free from the retrains, she turn her head and glares furiously at Foo.

"GET AWAY FROM ME YOU BASTARDS!" roared Sakura before she turn her leer at her father. "AND SAME GOES TO YOU!"

"Kuso...and I thought bringing Fugaku was a waste of time."

"Good thing it wasn't" said Fugaku as he approaches Sakura, he activate his Mangekyō Sharingan. "If she's like her mother, then this will be a simple fight."

"Go easy on her, she's still my daughter." said Kizashi getting a little concerned on what Fugaku is intended to do.

"Have some faith, Kizashi" said Fugaku as he leans down until his eyes meet Sakura's. "It'll be over before you know it. Mangekyō Sharingan: Tsukiyomi"

Sakura froze suddenly when her gaze at the Mangekyō was direct, as it was literally seconds in real time, days happen within her mind. Her mind scape inverts with black space with red outlines. Sakura and her Inner self are struggling to resist Fugaku as they did against Foo.

"You can try again, Foo" said Fugaku as he moves away from the mentally incapacitated Sakura.

It breaks Kizashi's heart for him to resort to this controversial method, but he must for the sake for his daughter.

"You will stay away from that boy, Sakura" said Kizashi "You will forget the friendship you forged with me, he is but a nuisance to those who want to live in peace and order. And if he tries to speak to you, pay no mind but punish him if he persists in trying to be your friend in which you are not his friend."

Kizashi then smiled in triumph.

"You were NEVER his friend Sakura, he is an obstacle getting in the way of your future with my son Sasuke." said Fugaku "An obstacle between 2 alliance between 2 families, do NOT let him stop you from getting in your way with Sasuke."

"N-No" very little resistance is trying to fight back but Foo's altering her mind is winning. "Naruto-kun"

Memory fades to black.

After that, all of the memories of us with Naruto were...gone thought Sakura The first thing I remembered was that I woke up in bed as if nothing happened. And when Naruto came to greet me...I...I...Oh Yami!

Memory 6

SMACK

Naruto was slapped and knocked back, he was confused when he held his sore cheek and looking a Sakura.

"I told you to leave me alone!" exclaimed Sakura "Here I was trying to find Sasuke-kun and then you came to bother me!"

"But Sakura-chan..."

"Shut it, don't you ever bother me again of so help me I'll give you a damn reminder!" snarled Sakura as she picked Naruto by the scuff of his neck. Her green eyes matches those of the villagers of Konoha, full of hatred. Naruto was shocked when he saw them, he didn't want to believe it, his first and only friend is now like the rest of Konoha. Sakura drops Naruto and turns away, Naruto was frozen in shock, eyes weep and never again will Sakura see him smile.

But deep within Sakura, Inner Sakura screams and begs Sakura to stay friends with Naruto, constantly banging within her psyche but Kizashi's influence is strong as Sakura walks away from Naruto, believing that her friendship with never existed.

Memory fades in black.

End of Flashback

Royal Ann regained her senses when the pain has ended, but suddenly her eyes widen in pure terror and denial.

"How could I?" begged Sakura with tears suddenly seep out from her eyes as the memories locked away. But the time of sorrow has to wait when Hinata tries to cut her down. The pink haired Gamer reacted on time and jumps away, only for her to make a run for it. "I would never..."

"But you did, Naruto-kun was our friend and we drove him away like filth...all for that damn Emo brat."

"But I never like Sasuke, I like Naruto-kun, he's kind, considerate..."

"And yet, our "beloved Tou-san" made sure that we never see him again." said Inner Sakura "This is the truth, Sakura...the horrid truth in which Kizashi refuses to accept. He doesn't his daughter mingle with a "menace of society", only to be groomed as a future bride of the Uchiha."

Sakura tightens her eyes and fist in anger, as much she wants to deny the truth, believing it to be a lie, the truth is still the truth. But now is not the time for anger, denial and sorrow, for she remembered that she's still in a middle of a fight with Hinata.

The Royal Ann then reacts from a surprise attack from Hinata, block the claymore with her Wakizashi.

CLANG

"Attack me while I'm grieving, that's low even for you Hinata" said Royal Ann, she frowns at Hinata and pushes her away.

"You grieve at your own time" said Hinata

"...You right" said Royal Ann as she then opens up her menu bow and starts pressing on it.

PvP Match cancelled

Result: Draw

"Ja ne" said Royal Ann before running out of the hall.

"Huh?" said Hinata as the Royal Ann makes her leave and gives chase. Hinata pulls outEbony and Ivory and starts shooting at Royal Ann. The Royal Ann scowls at Hinata following her and pulls out another Copy Cherry, she eats it and creates a handful of copies.

"Slow her down" Royal Ann commands her clones.

"Hai" said the copies as they stop and charge at Hinata.

Hinata however kept on firing, not caring if the copies are in the way, the hit the one at a time until they vanish into smoke. The Royal Ann noticed that her copies were vanquished already and she scowls at her attempt to slow the Hyūga down. So she pulls out a handful of shurikens and starts tossing them at Hinata. But Hinata shots them out of the air, causing the flying metal stars to break into shrapnel and scatter all over the walls and floor instead.

"Get back here!" exclaimed Hinata "You wanted a fight so stop running and finish it!"

"I've got what I wanted, consider it a draw" said Royal Ann as she pulls out a pair of smoke bombs.

"Oh no, Gamers do not draw. it's win or lose!" said Hinata

"Well the way I see it, this match is mine then" said Royal Ann before slamming her smoke bombs on the ground and disappeared in plain sight. "All I wanted is answers, and to get them is by fighting you. And since you accepted out little spar, you helped me achieve my quest. So thank you, young Gamer. We'll meet again when you have a name of yourself"

"Get back here!" exclaimed Hinata but it was too late, the Royal Ann is gone, and soon the Hyūga Gamer will forget about night when Royal Ann is far away.

With Royal Ann

Sakura hastily leaps from rooftop to rooftops, her eyes strain to keep the tears from leaking as she wants to focus on escaping and get far away from Hinata, far enough for the memory seal to take effect, to be forgotten as she is not ready for enemies to remember her.

"Fuck!" whispered Sakura as she grit her teeth at herself.

Now that she's far enough, she stops to take a break, she pull down her mask, huddles by a ledge and continues to cry.

"FUCK!" exclaimed Sakura as tears pour out from her tightly shut eyes, she roars in self-hatred and drowning sorrow as the truth brought her nothing but tragedy. Her life was a life fabricated by Kizashi, her true happiness and friendships taken away and now hope of said friendship is considered impossible. "HOW COULD I DO THIS TO HIM?!"

"Sakura" Inner Sakura said sadly, if she we're real, she'd be crying also.

She cover her face in sorrow and shame, then things she did to Naruto, harsh words said to him, her friendship of him censored and forgotten, only to be replaced by harsh bullying and cruelty.

"Oh Yami, he must hate me now." Sakura said when tears stain her palms, the true does hurt her, but to fully shatter her friendship with Naruto, it's a horrible scar on her person. "He was so kind to me, still clinging to hope that we'd be friends...until all hope died out within him, and it's all my fault."

"You're not to blame, it's those bastards Kizashi and Fugaku that stole our friendship with Naruto-kun" said Inner Sakura.

"That still doesn't change the fact that my cruel actions on him completely destroyed that friendship, only because Kizashi doesn't like Naruto-kun."

"I think there is more to it" said Inner Sakura "He was very precise on us avoiding Naruto-kun, he knows something, something about Naruto-kun that we don't."

"Another quest?" said Sakura

"Not right now, for we still got our seminar to fulfil." said Inner Sakura "And then, we'll figure a way for Naruto-kun to forgive us and renew our friendship."

"And this time, Kizashi will NOT get in the way, for HE is an obstacle getting in our way." said Sakura as she put her mask on and makes her way back home.

Meanwhile at the Hyūga Crypt

Hinata and Kizashi returned home, stealthy so that Hiashi and the Hyūga guards do not notice. They regroup at the Hyūga crypt so they can discuss what has happened, Blanc and Vert were also in the crypt as they were also concerned for Hinata.

Praise Yami, you're alright" Vert said as she rushed to Hinata and pulled into a deep hug, Hinata was not expecting this and blushed the moment the Green Heart's buxom chest press on her cheek. Dumbfounded and confused, Hinata could not bring out the words at what is going on.

"O...O...Of course I'm alright" said Hinata "Why wouldn't I be?"

"So you don't remember everything inside the academy?" said Hizashi for he witnessed the battle between his niece and the gamer Royal Ann.

"Remember what? I was just waiting for Darkborne-sama to arrive for my training but he never showed up." said Hinata

"So you don't remember Royal Ann?" said Hizashi

"Who's Royal Ann?" said Hinata, still confused at her uncle's words.

"I see, it doesn't matter" said Hizashi "You go straight to bed"

"H-Hai" said Hinata as she leaves the crypt, still confused on what is going on.

Hizashi waits for Hinata to be out of hearing and seeing range before he sighed and rub his temples from stress.

"Yami help me, that was stressful" said Hizashi

"What is going on, Hizashi" said Blanc "And who is Royal Ann?"

"She is Cherry Blade's daughter" said Hizashi "Cherry Blade has given us a quest, approved by Yami herself to should the academy with a barrier while Royal Ann and Hinata partake a PVP match."

"What!?" exclaimed Blanc, the white heart rage is like feeling 3 times the earth's gravity, forcing Hizashi to drop on his knees as the sensation weigh him down. "And you allow this?"

"It was approved by Yami, we had no choice" said Hizashi "I don't know why Yami allowed that traitor to make that quest and approve it, but it's done."

Blanc growls at this, she doesn't know why Yami would allow the former Cherry Blade to request her mission.

"Perhaps I'll see for my self" said Blanc "I'll consort to Yami-sama"

After that, Blanc vanishes into a swirl of darkness to enter Yami's domain. Vert sighs at this and makes her leave, leaving Hizashi to slowly recover from suffering Blanc's wrath.

"I hope for your sake that Hinata-chan is fine and whatever reason Yami has for approving Cherry Blade's mission can pacify Blanc." said Vert with a slight frown. "My wrath be not compare to Blanc's but it's something you should fear, Hizashi."

"I'll accept any punishment you'll have in store for me" said Hizashi

"Now don't be melodramatic, It's not I'm sending you to the Shadow Realm" said Vert shaking her head at Hizashi "But I'll think of a suitable punishment regardless."

Hizashi nods at this and remains in the crypt alone, he looks at the grave of Eva and sighed.

"I bet you be furious at this too, Eva" said Hizashi "I may not know you, but I know your counterpart and I know that a mother's love doesn't differ."

Hinata's room

Hinata has no idea what just happened that night, her recent memory was altered into believing that her PvP match against the Royal Ann never happened, or that said Gamer never existed. But she had a feeling that something happened but not sure what, the confusion is hurting her head as she tries to remember but to no avail.

"Grr, is what they said true?" said Hinata while she gazes at the mirror "If its true then why can't I remember it."

"Because it was wiped clean from your memories" Madame Butterfly appears from the mirror's reflection and stares back at Hinata. "This Royal Ann doesn't want be known yet, meaning that she's a new gamer like you."

"But why would she fight me?" said Hinata "And who is she?"

"I don't know either, it seems I was forced to forget also" said Madame Butterfly "But I wouldn't worry, maybe there will be a time where we'll remember her and never forget."

"I hope so, no knowing my enemy is frightening thing" said Hinata as she gets ready for bed. "Good night, Madame Butterfly."

"Good night, Hinata" said Madame Butterfly as she watches Hinata fall asleep and quietly hovers above her while as a shadow. Her purple lips an inch away from the Hyūga's cheek as she tries resist kissing it. And pleasant dreams"

With Naruto

Naruto decided to retire not in the dark tower but at his apartment, so that he can be in Konoha and in-case Hinata is ever in trouble. The days spending with the young Yuga has caused our Overlord to be defensive with her, and not only because of the quest.

To be lured away from Hinata is very humiliating to Naruto, something that an Overlord would be considered unheard. He'd rather stay the night in his apartment than enjoying the pleasures of the dark tower.

"Damn you Mebuki, playing me like that" said Naruto sitting on his couch while leaning to blankly stare at the ceiling. "And when the opportunity to off Kizashi like that..."

"Looks like she knew you'd go to the Poke trainer refuge and get Kizashi" said Shirou who is also in the apartment. "Taking advantage of this so that her daughter can fight Hinata."

"Hai, but how could I not see through it though." said Naruto placing his hands over his face and groans with annoyance. "I had so much insight in my status."

"Perhaps not enough to see through veteran gamers like Cherry Blade" said Shirou

"That could be it" said Naruto sitting up as he sighs calmly. "She knows I don't trust her, and with desperation she had to lure me away for her daughter's fight, knowing that I would interfere."

"Is Hinata alright?" said Shirou

"A little confused, but she'll be fine" said Naruto, he then turns his head towards Shirou

"That's good to hear" said Shirou as he suddenly yawns "It's getting late"

"Yeah, I'll get some sleep also" said Naruto as he heads to his bedroom. "Night, Shirou"

"Night" said Shirou as Naruto leaves the living room. Shirou's body suddenly winces in pain while his body vibrates from a digital seizure. "Damn it, not again."

Shirou drops on all fours, his eyes tighten and his teeth grinds while the seizure trembles through his body.

Damn it, again?

Shirou suddenly stops shaking and slowly gets back on his feet, he breathes heavily while he reaches for the couch and sat down on it.

Damn it, I thought this wouldn't happen again thought Shirou with an angry expression on his face. Especially when I was so close.

Overlord's Dream

As Naruto sleeps, he arrives back at the misty plains of the Overlord's Dream. He heads for the mansion when suddenly the doors open and the maiden welcomes Naruto.

"Welcome, young lord" said the maiden "My I be of assistance?"

Level up?

yes

no

Naruto selects yes and allows the maiden to level up his status.

Level up: 38-40

HP: 1258500 - 1293187

Mana: 6554500 - 7226336

Rage: 5239000 - 5775998

Chaos: 3622500 - 5705440

Void: 3622500 - 5705440

Phazon: 10411111 - 10761040

Shuriken: 120 -130

Kunai: 120 - 130

Only gained a couple of levels in his status, Naruto frowned as he is starting to get strong very slow now that the Censor Knights patrolling Konoha, along the lurking wights are now too weak for him to gain real progress. But worrying about kunai fodder is the least of his concern when Hinata Hyūga is main objective.

He enters the mansion to see if the old man inside can enlighten him with some wisdom, but as he reach the living room, he wasn't there in his usual seat beside the fireplace.

"My master is in the back garden, to gaze upon the full moon" said Maiden

Naruto immediately leaves through the back to arrive at the back garden composed with beautiful pale flowers, only a few with colour, and hovering the flowers are a flock of dark butterflies enjoying their evening snack of sweet nectar. Sitting on the bench, the old man gazes up upon the night sky where the full moon is large and beaming is beautiful silver light at the floral grounds of his garden.

"It's been a while, child" said the old man "Do you ever dream?"

"Not when I need to" said Naruto as he sits next to the old man. "Not when you have a powerful demon sealed up inside me."

"I see" said the Old Man as his eyes remain gazing at the moon. "Beautiful is it not, she'll be full and THEY will arrive."

"They?" said Naruto suddenly a large shadow looms over him and the old man, he looks up to see a giant majestic figure within the night sky, it absorbs the silver moonlight so it can glow into a mixture of jade and leaf green. Naruto was at awe at the sight, a giant butterfly flying within the moonlight...then suddenly he realised something. Moonlight...Butterfly"

"Hai, a moonlight butterfly is coming to Konoha to drink the lunar rays of the moon, right where the dark is at its purest." said the old man. "And only darkness itself will know where that is."

"I see" said Naruto as he suddenly stands up and makes his leave. "I hate to make cut this visit short, but I have to go."

"I understand, Champion of Yami" said the Old man "You have a duty to fulfil, so I will not keep you waiting."

and with that, Naruto leaves the Overlord's Dream, the Old man continues to watch the moonlight and with the Moonlight Butterfly on view, only with moon to eclipse and darken the night sky.

Yami's Realm

Naruto woke up and immediately arrives at the realm of the Dark Goddess Yami, but as he ventures though the darkness, a couple of voices is heard in the distance. The voices get louder as he gets closer, and the voice become more familiar to him as he recognises the angry tone of Blanc arguing with the mighty and dark tone of Yami herself.

"How can you be okay with this? Cherry Blade forsake us when she fell into Kizashi's influence"

"And was free when Darkborne's powers grow ever stronger." said Yami, only her voice is heard while her form is hidden within the darkness of her realm. "I can feel Cherry Blade's faith for me grow strong and also believe that her daughter will carry on her legacy. Plus, when she asked me for help, it opened an opportunity that could not be ignored."

"Is that why you didn't want Darkborne to intervene" said Blanc

"I know he'd be concerned for young Hinata, and know that he'll stop the match for her safety" said Yami "He still doesn't trust young Sakura, and his heart is still fractured from her betrayal."

Hearing enough, Naruto presents himself to Blanc and Yami, the white heart was startled to see the Overlord in Yami Realm this late, but Yami was expecting him and greets him.

"Welcome, Darkborne" said Yami "What do I owe this pleasure of a visit?"

Naruto is quiet so that he can kneel down and his head down, for he is not yet ready to gaze upon the concealed beauty of Yami, or else he'd suffer from a frenzy and his mind would shatter into madness.

"A premonition" said Naruto "For Hinata's time as a full fledged gamer."

Morning

Meanwhile the crowd gathers by the gates of Konoha, everyone cheers and welcomes the envoys of Kumo and the returning diplomatic squad lead by Fugaku. Just before and during the academy's first semester, Sarutobi has sent Fugaku and the volunteering clan heads to the Land of Iron to form a peace treaty between Konoha and Kumo, but in truth Konoha's branch of the Censored Justice wants to unite with the Kumo branch due to their masses depleting every night.

The Envoy and diplomatic squad traverse on the streets between the greeting villagers until they reach the Hokage Tower, where the Hokage and the rest of the council including the elders stand waiting.

"Welcome back, Fugaku" said Sarutobi as Fugaku steps forward and bows to the Hokage. "I trust that your mission was a success."

"Hai, the Kumo has arranged an agreement and will be happy to form a peace with us" said Fugaku "and to make it official, allow me to introduce the envoys of Kumo"

The Head Envoy steps forward and bows to the Hokage.

"Allow me to thank you for inviting us to your community, and to say that it would be an honour to forge this alliance between the 2 villages." said the Head Envoy.

Sarutobi nods and bows at the envoy before he turns to Fugaku.

"Fugaku, I trust you will make our guests welcome here" said Sarutobi

"Of course" said Fugaku "I already arranged rooms for them in our inn for them to stay and will be protected during the treaty signing."

"Good" said Sarutobi before he turns to the envoys "We will commence the treaty signing at noon, so please enjoy your stay."

"Thank you, Hokage-sama" said the head envoy bowing to Sarutobi before Fugaku leads him and the other envoys to the inn. Waiting until he's out of the hokage's view, the head envoy lower his head to hide his smirk, his long tongue sticks out from his sinister smile and his eyes glow green. "I'll enjoy my stay here, indeed."

"Remember the deal, Trick" Fugaku

"Yeah, yeah, I'll play nice until the treaty is signed" said the Head Envoy "If you hold onto your side of the deal."

Fugaku scoffs at this and continues to escort the Kumo envoys.

EQUIPMENT

Weapon: Sting

Description: An ancient Elven Short sword made of an alloy that glows blue when evil creatures are close, like an early warning before an attack is made by the enemy. This weapon has been passed down from many generations of Halfling Heroes, down from a Halfling Thief who travelled with a Dwarf Prince, to a Halfling hero who ventured through various dangers to destroy an object of pure evil. Any Halfling who possess this legendary sword is forever branded as a legend and a hero to his/her people.

Bonus Perk: Glowing blade (Long-range enemy presence)

Uchiha Katana

A Katana used by the Uchiha clansmen, forged and treated to be stronger than any blade, such like the Uchiha. Ha, such arrogance, but this weapon is indeed strong and will eventually drink in the blood of Uchihas.

Bonus Perk: Sharp (Can cause Bleed)

Demon's Scar

Description: A blade made of entirely out of flames. This chaotic thing, the last flame kindled by a demon prince, is shaped like the claw marks of a demon. It is both a fiery bladed weapon, and pyromancy flame.

Added Skill: Spin Slash – Spin to stoke a fierce chaos flame and use momentum to transition into a spinning strong attack, creating an evanescent lava chamber.

Saw Cleaver

Description: One of the trick weapons of the workshop, commonly used in the hunting business. This saw, effective at drawing the blood of beasts, transforms into a long cleaver that makes use of centrifugal force. The saw, with its set of blood-letting teeth, has become a symbol of the hunt, and only grows in effectiveness the more grotesquely transformed the beast.

Note: Only used in Darkborne Form
