(warning
LONG ASS CHAPTER!!)
///////////////
Naruto Shikaku and Kakashi have made it to the land of Iron with little difficulty. The place was covered in snow and it was freezing. Naruto and Kakashi had their cloaks on to keep them warm while Shikaku wore the Hokage Cloak. He wasn't Hokage...but he stood in for Tsunade.
Naruto shivered as wind blew past them and it started to snow. Nartuo"s ears were against his head and his tsiled wrapped around him. Kakashi shuddered. Naruto looked at him and felt bad and wrapped some tails around him and the other around Shikaku and walked between them.
"Thanks." Shikaku thanked him.
"Y-yeah. Thanks " Kakashi shivered.
"D-dont mention it!" Naruto smiled happily.
No tails were wrapped around his skinny yet fit body and it started to snow. Naruto blew warm air into his hands and rubbed his arms. Kakashi wrapped an arm around him. Naruto smiled weakly and thanked him.
Together they walked and eventually s three headed dog shaped cave came into view in the distance. It was a building...where the summit was.
"Is that the place?" Kakashi asked going serious.
"Yes it is." Shikaku answered in a serious tone.
"Haaah! Finally a building! I hope it's warm!" Naruto smiled happily.
Gaara was seen walking in the distance towards the same place. Naruto smiled and waved.
"Gaara!" Naruto called.
"Naruto?" Gaara blinked and turned his attention to him.
His siblings groaned lightly.
"Gaara...we must keep moving. We are dye to arrive sometime this afternoon...not the next day." Temari sighed.
"Yeah dude...come on." Kankuro moved forwards.
"Naruto...I'll speak with you later." Gaara sighed and walked forwards.
"Aww...okay." Naruto frowned.
"Naruto I know this is exciting for you but please restrain yourself. This isn't a time to fool around, or dt distracted by small things like reunions with friends." Shikaku eyed him.
"He's Right hun." Kakashi sighed. "This is a serious historical event that's playing out right before our eyes. You must show respect and restrain your excitement. Truth be told. I'm excited myself." Kakashi gave a faint hidden smile under his mask. "If I can control it you can as well." He gave a thumbs up.
"Alright." Naruto gave a happy nod.
They approached the structure and Naruto could practically feel the strong amounts of Chskrs from a few people. He shuddered and suddenly felt fear overwhelm him. Kakashi blinked and admired the structure as they walked in. He looked at Naruto and noticed his ears still down, despite them being warm sense to the fires and soon to be air conditioning.
They walked through hallways guarded by samari. Naruto admired their cool looking armour and walked forwards. They entered a room with a samari general like man, two others at his side. There flags hung on the walls with symbols for the different hidden villages. The one for the Hidden leave was dead center of the room.
Shikaku took his seat and Naruto and Kakashi stood beside him. There coming in was Gaara. Naruto's ears and tails grabbed attention though, the Mitsukage, the Kage for the land hidden in the waves was staring at him. Smiling softly. The two accompanying her stood and walked over. Kakashi went on guard and Naruto raised a brow, his ears perked up as they stopped in front of them.
"Are you a jinchuriki?" The serious looking one with the eyepaych asked rudely.
"..." Naruto blinked. "Yeah. So what?" Naruto asked.
"Why is something like you in a meeting as imprtant as this one?" He asked.

"Watch it water boy." Kakashi growled.
"What are you going to do about it spike head?" He asked.
The smaller one with the glasses smiled slightly. "I like the ears. Freaky...but I like em." He smiled.
"I like your huge sword." Naruto smiled.
Shikaku stood and separated the two that were about to fight. The man eyed Shikaku. Kakashi growled at him. Naruto and the glasses kid looked at them with worry. Then the Mitsukage stood and cleared her throat as she walked over to grab their attention. Her chakra was immense and Naruto felt his heart rate increase. He took a step back and is ears lowered a little.
"Now now boys please don't fight. I'm sure my guardment no ill intent." She smiled. Besides that. I find it hard to believe a jinchuriki would look so good." She chuckled.
Naruto hid behind Kakashi. Kakashi sighed and relaxed knowing full well that their Kage had the situation under control.
"Sorry about him shying away. He has recently been through an awful ordeal. He doesn't do well with people who have immense Chakra." Kakashi chuckled slightly.
"Oh? He thinks I'm powerful?" She smiled.
Naruto nodded slightly. She smiled back gently.
"Thank you boy. I appreciate the compliment. I would give you a kiss but...it might melt you away...literally." She winked and went back to her chair along side her guards.
Then can the Tsuchikage. He was a small old man but Naruto didn't judge be his looks. He could tell he was heavily experienced and powerful. Naruto stood at Shikaku's side and Kakashi on the other and they waited. The olderan was accompanied by two others. A female. And a large male. They stood at his sides but glanced a Naruto. The Tsuchikage turned to scan the room too see that one more Kage had to show up...the Rikage. He noticed Naruto and the tails and scoffed.
"A jinchuriki! Here! This must be a joke Hokage. Wait...where is the newer one. I heard that the new Hokage was female." The Tsuchikage stated.
"We were attacked by the Akatuski. And their leader destroyed the village. She grew weary by exhaustion and fell into a coma." Shikaku stated." I'm standing in as her temporary replacement until she wakes." Shikaku breifly explained to the elderly man. "And Naruto Uzumaki is a highly skilled genin." Shikaku looked at him. " In fact he would make an excellent Anbu if he wishes to be one." Shikaku stated.
"HAH A GENIN!? YOU CHOSE A GENIN AS YOUR GUARD!?" Tue Tsuchikage cackled.
"I'll have you know he escorted the Hokage to the village, completely mastered Sage mode, created his very own s classed Justin based off of the Rasengan that he created within a week. Took on the leader of the Akatuski and nesrl best him until someone got in he way but even then he sacrificed himself to save his own village. This boy is a rare and powerful Uzumaki. Son if the Forth Hokage. And has more experience then Kakashi Hatake who has fought in the third great night war. Naruto has 100 times more Chakra then I, and is at a Hokage level of power." Shikaku explianed.
Everyone except for the three from the leaf were shocked. They stared at Naruto in pure shock. No reaction was proper enough to express how amazed and dumbfounded they were. Naruto lowered his head a little bur jumped as the door slammed open.
There he was...

The Rikage.
He walked to his desk and by his side were a female and a male guard. They stood there as the Rikage took a seat. Naruto shuddered and was shaking lightly. This man was completely mad. Like pissed off. He seemed to be a raging man who could be ticked off by literally anything. He glanced around the room. Then at Shikaku.
"Tsunade isn't here?" He questioned.
"She has fallen into a coma. Gaara stated.
"And the tailed kid. Is he a jinchuriki?" The Rikage gazed at Naruto.
"Yes." Gaara asnwered before Shikaku could.
"Tch...pathetic. look at the freak. He's hidious with those tails an ears. He looks like a stick...he looks frail." He chuckled.
"Don't be fooled." Test Mitsukage chuckled. "He is quite the man."
"I'm sixteen." Naruto mumbled.
"Who cares about age?" She giggled.
Kakashi narrowed his eye and looked at her with a WTF lookes but calmed down. The Kage got settled down and the guards walked behind the banners and sat down at their desks. Naruto sat down and held his head. The Rikage saw Naruto still. The way the banners hung he could be seen by the Rikage Gaara. Kakashi held him close and pulled him to a hug to realise he was shaking.
"Naruto calm down. Your safe." Kakashi smiled, whispering gently.
"W-what if they try to hurt me?" Naruto looked at the Rikage, whispering.
"They won't." Kakashi said quietly.
"Now to get this meeting started." The samurai general spoke up. "Time to discuss the matters of which you all came to terms with discussing." He spoke. "I will be your overseer. I will moniter the summit, my men will protect the summit. And I will decide final vertics." He spoke.
"Now..." Gaara sighed. "Onto business...about the Akatuski." He spoke.
"A massive threat! Someone by the name of Kisame Hoshigaki attacked the cloud! And tried to kidnap brother Lord killer Bee! Our jinchuriki!" The Rikage boomed.
Naruto shuddered at the name and looked at him.
"Any information on this man is much needed!" The Rikage hissed.
"More importantly...why are they targeting Jinchuriki." The Tsuchikage stated. "Ours have been taken...and vanishes into the claws of the Akatuski.
"Ours too." The Mistukage confessed.
"They were after my asked beast and I was killed once they had it. But thanks to Lady Cheo. And the hidden leaf and their Jinchuriki, my close friend Naruto, I'm alive and here today." Gaara spoke.
"They destroyed our entire village and nearky killed Naruto. We were able to retrieve him. This happening just a few days ago." Shikaku spoke.
"Bringing him here was a mistake." The Tsuchikage growled.
"Leaving him there would be idiotic!" The Mitsukage raised her voice." Village destroyed! Hokage under a coma! Low forces and tense security that could easily be set off with a diversion. Leaving him there is like bait for a shark!" She stated. "He wouldn't be able to run. Hide. Or defend himself after what he just went through if you say it happened days ago!" She calmed down." It's a smart decision. Bringing him along. He is protecting by five Kage. Nine guards and an army of samurai! And he isn't in the land of fire which would throw the enemy off. Smart thinking Shikaku." The Mistukage smiled, congratulating him.
"Thanks." Shikaku returned her smile in respect.
"If he was captured he can tell us about them! How many they have in their ranks! And their power levels!" The Rikage stated. "I demand Naruto to come out and provide information!" The Rikage stated.
"You keep shouting you're gonna scare the fox off with all nine tails between his legs." The Tsuchikage chuckled.
Naruto gripped onto Kakashi. He shook majorly as he feared of being put on the spot with people who could easily kill him with one blow surrounding him. Kakashi rubbed his back gently.
"The boy has suffered far to much." Shikaku frowned. "He needs a break."
"THEIR IS NO TIME FOR BREAKS! THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER! TAILES BEASTS ARE VERY POWERFUL AND WE NEED TO KNOW EY THEY ARE COLLECTING THEM!" The Rikage slammed his fist into his part of the table.
Naruto jumped and sweat rolled down his face.
"K-kakashi I don't feel so good." Naruto spoke.
"Shh...your fine." Kakashi spoke.
Gaara looked at Naruto and frowned. "Naruto needs his rest."
"As much as I want to agree with you two...I have to agree with the Rikage. We need intel." She sighed
"I agree with the woman." The geezer man chuckled.
"Naruto Uzumaki present yourself." The general spoke.
"Kakashi..." Naruto stood and looked nervous.
"Your fine. Just tell them in complete honesty and you should be alright." Kakashi smiled a faint hidden smile.
Naruto nodded and stepped into veiw, behind Shikaku. All eyes were on him and his ears stuck to his head like glue and his tails were flat, dragging behind him, twitching lightly.
"Step forwards." The samarai spoke.
Naruto nodded and walked to the center of the room and sat in a chair, facing the five Kage. They all eyed him with curiosity and anxiousness. Wanting information.
"Now Naruto. How many are in their ranks?" The Tsuchikage asked slightly rudely.
"..." Naruto closed his eyes and his fingers moved as he counted in his head." Six"
"Names?" Gaara asked.
"Deidara...Kisame Hoshigaki, Zetsu, Itachi Uchiha, Tobi...and I think...Kabuto?" Naruto said.
"Why do you think Kabuto is involved?" Shikaku raised a brow.
"Wasn't getting Orochimarus right hand man?" Gaara questioned
"He was." Shikaku nodded.
"Well...when. uhm. When I was kidnapped...after half of my tailed beast was extracted. Not that it affects him considering he regained his strength.." he mumbled the sentace. " I saw some files as I was being dragged into a room before I was tortured. And on those files i-"
"Who kidnapped you?" The Rikage asked.
"I-itachi." Naruto shuddered and gripped his arm, clearly uncomfortable." Like I was saying on the files I saw Reanimated army. Naruto stated. "The only one with that power was Pain bt we got rid of him." Naruto stated." That leaves an old and dead member, Orochimaru. But Kabuto would know it considering he helped him with everything. I suspect Kabuto is a new face among their ranks." Naruto explained.
"Just six!? We should find out where their hideouts are and slaughter them!" The Rikage boomed loudly.
"!!" Naruto jumped at the loud yell.
"Show some restraint. Besides. These must be powerful beings. Aren't they?" The Tsuchikage asked.
"Yes...very." Naruto looked almost tramatized when he answered that.
"We can't rush into things!" The Tsuchikage stated. "This must be well planned out. With several back up plans."
"You were kidnapped instead of killed? What did Itachi want with you?" The Mitsukage asked out of Curiosity.
Naruto looked at her and he gripped his arm tighter. Kakashi and Shikaku blinked and went silent. They looked down and sighed, knowing Naruto would need answer that unless his life were in danger. Naruto shook his head.
"I-i...w-wont say!" Naruto looked dreaded to the think about it.
"So six enemies with almost all the tailed beasts. This doesn't seem well." Gaara sighed, clearly stressed.
"...how are the beasts collected?" The Rikage asked.
"...a giant statue." Naruto answered.
"Is it in of iself s sealing jutsu?" The Rikage asked.
"Yes and now. It is ment to hold massive sealed items. But it seems like it's alive...ts wooden. But it's like it has a mind of its own." Naruto looked at him.
The Rikage nodded and thought about it. He sighed and leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes in thought. The others were thinking about the situation. Naruto felt akward for still sitting there. The Rikage stood and Naruto jumped lightly in his chair. The man made his way towards Naruto.
Shikaku tapped his leg and Kakashi walked into view and seemed hostile and was ready to do anything he was ordered. Gaara did the same with his siblings, they would happily defend Naruto in Gaara's honor.
The Rikage stood towering over the Sixteen year old. He eyed him with a foul look. Naruto looked up at him and his tails were limp. His ears pinned to his head. He gripped his arm tightly.
"Tell me boy...have you killed anyone?" The Rikage asked.
"W-what kind of a q-question is that!?" Naruto felt scared.
"That's uneeded information." The Mitsukage stated bluntly and snapped her fingers, her guards walking, armed, at her side.
"AMSWER ME PESK!" The Rikage yelled.
"Yes!" Naruto shakily answered.
"Were some villagers?" The Rikage asked.
Naruto looked away. "Y-yes."
"We're most Ninja?" He growled.
"Y-yes..." Naruto teared up. "P-please don't ask m-me a-another question related t-to me k-killing..."
"Back off!" Gaara growled.
"This summit is getting interesting. The Tsuchikage chuckled.
"Did you enjoy it" The Rikage asked rudely.
"...!?" Naruto shuddered and shook his head no.
He was half wrong...apart of him...loved it.
"RIKAGE THATS ENOUGH!" Shikaku yelled.
"Bee lived his life with the beast like you and hasn't killed a single person. Even when it was hard to control. This means you are weak." The Rikage hissed.
"YOU WANT TO FUCKING DEAL WITH A DEMON INSIDE OF YOU AND RUINING YOYR LIFE SND NOT KILL ONE SOUL BE MY GUEST!" Naruto yelled, his eyes turning red.
"Tch...you are nothing but a burden to your village. It was destroyed because of you. Your temporary kage made a poor decision to bring you here. You have no right to be amount us Kage." The Rikage said coldly and headed back to his seat.
"Says the one who acts like a five year old." Naruto folded his arms.
"...!" Tsuchikage snickered.
"Hmhmhm. Oh dear!" Mitsukage giggled.
"Naruto..." Gaara shook his head.
"..." Shikaku was stressing heavily.
Kakashi was ready to defend Naruto. "..."
The Rikage fumed and turned to face him. He growled and chakra fumed through his veins. Naruto gee fangs and claws and his attitude completely changed from shy nervous and fearful to angry, Fearless, and hostile.
"That's enough!" The samurai general yelled. "Everyone take your seats. Naruto your information was very valuable. I thank you for sharing this, even though you must be mentally unhethy due to these recent events."
Naruto calmed down and sighed. "I'm glad to provide." Naruto stated and walked over to Kakashi.
Everyone sat down and the Rikage calmed himself to a degree. Everyone took their seats and Naruto sat down. Kakashi held him close and tightly. Naruto closed his eyes.
"Now. How will you deal with the Akatuski?" The Samurai asked.
"..." Everyone went into thought again.
"..." Naruto looked at Kakashi. "Am I a burden to you?"
"What!? No! Your my lover. And you bring happiness to my world." Kakashi pulled his mask down to gently kiss him. "You aren't a burden...your a blessing."
"Honest?" Naruto asked.
"100%." Kakashi smiled gently.
"Hello hello!" A voice rang loudly over the hallway.
Everyone went alert and serious. The sensory type ninja in the room gasped at the sudden strong chakra coming just down the hallway.
"Two are in the building! If you find them you get an award!" The voice announced before vanishing.
Naruto growled and kakashi went alert. Every guard we're suddenly at their Kages side protectively. Kakashi exposed his sharingan. The Rikage stood and growled.
"I'll investigate!" He then punched through a wall and ran down it, his guards at his sides.
"At least use a door." The Mitsukage rolled her eyes, letting out a light groan.
"One's coming!" The eye patch man hissed.
The ground shook violently signalling that he is in battle with an Akatuski. Naruto went tense as all the banners we're suddenly sliced in half. Naruto growled and his tails flair out visiously. Then...standing in the middle of the room was Tobi. Everyone growled.
"Hello Kage. I come bringing a messange." He spoke in a deep serious tone. "I've come to tell you my plan." Tobi stated. "And my true...identity."
"Spill it!" The Tsuchikage growled out.
"My real name is Madara Uchiha. And I have been collecting the tailed beasts to revive the ten tails." He spoke.
Everyone went dead quiet. They knew the name Madara all too well. Especially the Tsuchikage.
"Didn't he die!?" Kakashi growled.

Second Wind, legend of Pandemonium (Finished/Incomplete)
The developers of the worlds leading VRMMORPG Edge Online have decided to shut down its servers after over a decade. Shugireth Darkstar, the leader of Pandemonium, Edge Online's top guild, suffers from a deadly disease and his end is near. He hasn't left his VR pod for 5 years, as the medical nanodroids at the hospital takes care of him. Without Edge, he will die, because his physical body has already been all but destroyed by the sickness. Seeing no light at the end of the tunnel, Shugireth Darkstar, the Master of Pandemonium, stubbornly stays behind as the servers shut down... If that was all, we could end this story right here. However, that was only the beginning of the legend of pandemonium. The prelude to the movement, if you will. Shall we see what happens next? -------------- Some notes from Me (The author, gasp surprise): I first wrote this (100k) as an experiment. I saw the advice about having foils for overpowered MCs, and I watched quite a few lectures on writing. I wanted to test things out for myself and see if I could carry a story through other ways than only relying on physical conflict like some thrillers do. Thus this might lean a bit towards slice of life with a romance subplot, but I don't want to give my story away so read it if u want to know more. This was basically never intended for anyone else's eyes but my own, and written to explore writing as a process. This wasn't my attempt at writing a good book, but it turned into something that I think might interest some people, so I decided to pop it up here. It is slightly old so my style and writing skills have advanced considerably since I first started this thing. Having said that, I think it's pretty readable, but I am very interested in how other people will receive this. Please feel free to criticize it and just in general shoot me some feedback on what you think. It contains light Litrpg elements, not heavy table spam, it's just the basis of the world. Although I like that sort of thing, this was written before I even knew of Royalroad and hadn't considered litrpg much. Some of you may recognize that it was slightly inspired by Overlord. Also, the Tags for sexual content and traumatizing content are there as a precaution on all of my stories pretty much, even if my story does not contain any of that at the moment. I can't really know what the future will bring, but in the case of this story I do know a little bit, since I wrote 100k words before posting it here. And I just posted it on a whim because I figured some readers on Royalroad might enjoy this story.
