Dante: Alright. Here we are with the next update on my list. And speaking honestly here...thank you to all of you who continue to like the stuff I write. It honestly makes me happy when new stories like Underworld's Excalibur and Rise Of The Golden Spirit actually get a good start. As such, imma try and keep the quality upto standard. Also small retcon I need to do. From now on Shirouko's hair will be described as Auburn. And to the one reviewer who asked about people putting Ko onto a characters name when it's a female version. It's highly common for a female in Japan to have Ko as the final character in their name. Now let's get right into this.

Small note: Read the Authors note at the end. It is important to the story.

(Story Start. Theme: Last Stardust)

It had been a couple days since Naruto had arrived in Fuyuki and honestly...he found himself bored. In the other world, he had the constant threat of being killed due to his line of work, yet now, he was patiently waiting for everything to start. His eyes wandered around the city as he sensed multiple mana signatures throughout it. Caster and her master had locked themselves up in the temple while the others were scattered around town. Except for that one tailing him.

Walking around the city, Naruto eventually found himself sitting down on one of the steps to an old abandoned building as it started to rain. The long coat he wore, a gift from Akame, was slightly drenched as his head hung. He was trapped in his thoughts until he noticed the rain suddenly stop falling onto his unprotected head, as only part of his body was covered. Looking up, he found himself staring into the unnerving gaze of Caster's master.

"What are you doing out in the rain?" The teacher, Souichiro Kuzuki, asked as Naruto looked over the man.

"Nothing that concerns a teacher in a green suit." Naruto answered before his gaze traveled back to the ground.

"Do you have a place to stay?" Souichiro suddenly asked as Naruto raised his head.

"Come again?" Naruto asked confused.

"Do you have a place of residence? A place to sleep? Food?" Souichiro listed off as Naruto stared impassively at the man before letting out a chuckle.

"Why does it matter to you?" Naruto asked as the man just gazed at him.

"You seem to be around the same age as my students." He plainly said as Naruto shook his head.

"Congratulations Four-eyes you can see." Naruto said, snarkiness, just dripping from his voice.

To his utter lack of surprise, Souichiro's face did not change at the remark. That same blank face remained as Naruto's eyes drifted to his back.

Behind him floated Caster. A small dagger held in her hand as the upper half of her face remained covered. Leaving only those lips that Naruto found slightly alluring in sight.

"I suggest you watch your tone little boy." She threatened as Souichiro's gaze turned to her.

"Caster. That is a rude way to speak to a guest." He said in his usual dead tone before he gripped Naruto's arm and pulled him to his feet.

The agent of the Grail looked confused as he stood under the same umbrella as the master of Caster before said man turned around. His gaze drifted over his shoulder in a silent message. He started walking away as Caster floated pass the teen, her clothes unaffected by the weather which had mattered Naruto's hair down.

Once Souichiro reached the roadside he gave one last glance to the teen and stood at the side of the road as Caster vanished.

"What's your end game?" Naruto asked as the glasses wearing teacher shook his head.

"Simply trying to do a good deed." He said, infuriating Naruto slightly before walking off down the road.

Souichiro had found himself stopping at some traffic lights further down the road before his gaze went to his left side. Standing next to him was a soaked Naruto, his coat missing as he was drenched.

"What happened to your coat?" The older man asked as Naruto looked straight ahead.

"I put it away...it was a gift...something I'd rather not have ruined." He said calmly as the light turned green.

Both men walked in silence, their footsteps echoing throughout the surprisingly empty street. No words were shared until they reached their destination. Ryuudou temple.

Once inside, Naruto was handed a towel to dry himself with as Souichiro escorted him to the bathroom. The teen nodded his head at the mans generosity but quickly realized the situation he's in.

'Sitting in this temple already has me being placed under Caster's thumb...those soft looking and slim thumbs.' He thought to himself as he raised a brow. "That's a strange train of thought." He said to himself

Once done, he exited the bathroom and walked around the temple to find Souichiro sitting in a room, seemingly alone. A tea pot in front of him as a cushion was placed across from him. The man was in a dark green loose fitting yukata as his eyes remained closed.

Entering the room, Naruto walked over to the cushion before he sat down. Sitting in a seiza position, his stare went undeterred as the glasses wearing man opened his eyes and stared him down.

"Explain why you brought me here." Naruto demanded as his illusion faded.

"Caster believed...that having an unknown variable under watch...would be better than letting him roam." He admitted calmly as he stared down Naruto, his eyes catching the four star pupil in the boys left eye.

"I already explained to that woman I mean no harm. Not like it matters though." Naruto admitted, raising curiosity within the man.

"Caster...leave." He ordered his servant who materialized beside him.

"You can't be serious master!" She panicked only for her words to die. She stared into her masters eyes trying to find some form of lies within, yet she was horrified to find none.

She had to make a decision this early into the war. To ignore her master and leave him alone with a dangerous target. Or follow his order and risk losing the war before it truly began. The blue haired woman was thinking of ignoring her master's command but eventually decided to do as he said. The reason being, if Naruto truly wanted them dead, he would've done it already.

'He hasn't moved from that spot since he sat down. No movement to indicate that he is going to attack.' She thought to herself, analyzing the teen in front of her before she bowed her head with a groan.

"As you wish Master." She said calmly. Standing to her feet, she left the room, Naruto's eyes drawn to her form as he looked over the hooded servant.

Once she was gone, Naruto's eyes were still locked onto the door. Souichiro noticed this and decided to bring it to attention.

"Has my servants looks gained your attention?" He asked calmly as Naruto directed his attention back to the man.

"Not really. I will admit that she is very beautiful but I personally don't care about any of the servants at this moment." He answered truthfully.

The two sat in silence as they drunk tea that Caster had made. Though, Naruto was skeptical as he sipped his cup.

"I wish to know something." Souichiro started as Naruto raised a brow, enjoying the silence originally.

"And that question is?" Naruto pressed as the glasses wearing keep quiet.

"Caster said you knew things. She said that you knew a lot of things. So I wonder, just how much do you actually know?" He asked as Naruto scoffed.

His eyes closed for a brief second, a frown forming on his face as Naruto found his future vision to be...foggy. A glance here and there showed him standing in the same room as a couple of other masters...yet...it didn't feel right. Opening his eyes, he stared the teacher in the eye.

"I do know things...but I don't feel as though I should answer you." Naruto responded, making the older man close his eyes in thought.

"I only ask one thing..." Souichiro started, trailing off in the end.

"What is it?" Naruto responded calmly.

"Will Caster stay safe?" He asked, shocking Naruto slightly.

Naruto closed his eyes, trying to think of how to say this to the man before he decided to be blunt.

"Your a fool to think Caster would be safe. She is a servant within this War, thus...she must perish if someone else is to win. Only if you were to win the war, would she be safe." Naruto explained as Souichiro let out a breath of acceptance.

"I see." The elder man said calmly as a silence fell between the two.

The two sat in silence, Naruto's illusion reappearing as he stood to his feet.

"I will allow you to stay here." He suddenly said, getting Naruto's attention. "In return, I want you to do two things for me." He added as Naruto crossed his arms.

"And what makes you think I'd take that offer?" Naruto countered as Souichiro stared at the wall in front of him...unmoving.

"You will be given a place to stay. A roof over your head...food...and a warm bed. I think it would be fair to at least hear me out." Souichiro said as Naruto glanced away and scratched his head.

"Fine. I'll hear you out." He said as Souichiro stood to his feet.

"You will be enrolled as a student at the near by school, after school each day you will help out around the temple. With whatever chore Caster gives you." He started as Naruto glared at the mans back.

"There's no way in hell that I will go through with that!" Naruto screamed as Souichiro stared at him.

"You are in no position to be resisting my offer. If you try to attack me, Caster will strike you down." The man threatened as the teen realized his words.

'Trapping me in a situation where I have to go through, or Caster takes care of me...smart man.' Naruto thought to himself bitterly. While he could easily take Caster out physically, her magic would be his downfall.

"What's your second offer?" He asked as Souichiro looked the boy in the eye.

"Should anything happen to me, I wish for you to protect Caster in any way possible." The man asked as he stared Naruto down.

A nod washis response with a silent groan let out by the teen as he stood to his feet.

"Let's get this straight. I'm only doing this because your giving me a place to stay." Naruto gave his reason to accept, allowing Souichiro to nod calmly.

"That is fine. We played you...and forced you into this situation, and yet you are remaining calm for it. As such, I am sorry for the way I planned this." The man apologized, getting a scoff from the white haired teen who stood to his feet.

"I'm going to turn in for the night." Naruto said as he walked towards the door. "You've got a good heart." With those words, Naruto left the room, shutting the door and walking away to give the man his privacy.

As he walked away, he missed the slight smile that formed on the mans face, something that seemed off.

(With Naruto)

As he walked down the wooden halls, he eventually stopped and let out and irritated sigh.

"If you plan on summoning Assassin, I would advise you to do it quickly. And make sure you leave no strings attached." He offered to the Caster servant who materialized behind him. Her hood down, showing the bright blue hair she had.

Turning to stare the woman in the face, the blonde found himself...oddly at peace. She just had a strange aura about her that seemingly calmed him.

"About your conversation with Souichiro-sama..." Caster started only for Naruto to click his teeth.

"Drop it. I only wish to turn in for the night and not have to put anymore thought into the subject." Naruto was quick to shutdown their talk before it started...though it was mainly due to his own reasons.

'Why can't I bear to talk to her...I was never like this with Akame and the others...if only they were here.' He thought to himself, trying to take his attention from the blue haired servant behind him.

"Follow me." He heard her say plainly. Looking back, he watched as she passed him and stopped just a bit further down the hall.

Stopping at the pointed eared woman's side, Naruto watched as she kindly opened the door for him. A expressionless facade on display as she showed him the room.

A small table laid in the corner with nothing on it, a cupboard to the side to store his clothes and a futon rested in the middle of the room.

"Seems pretty barren." Naruto said to Caster, who simply turned around and walked away.

Ignoring her, Naruto walked into the room before he climbed into the futon and closed his eyes ready to rest.

(Later that night)

Naruto awoke with a jolt. Sitting up slowly, sweat dripped from his brow as he looked over his body. A nightmare...that was what awoke the agent of the grail. Had it been any other type, he may have ignored it and gone back to sleep, yet this one seemed more realistic. He had been alone...his weapons broken...his spirit shredded as above him stop a dark figure. Dark skin with black markings covered the figures body as it's golden eyes stared into his own. A familiar sword appeared within the figures hands...a copy of Murasame...the sword of Akame. A small shout was let out from Naruto before the blade pierced his throat. A soft hand covered his throat, shocking the teen who jumped from the bed. Caster...was kneeling next to him. His eyes instantly went to her hands, looking for any sign of her Noble Phantasm Rule Breaker.

"You were muttering to yourself. When I checked, you were tossing and turning. Trying to escape an assailant by the looks of it." She muttered as she released a sigh. "I have no intention of utilizing Rule Breaker on you. You can calm down." Despite her words, Naruto kept as much distance as he could.

"Thank you for your concern Caster...but it is unneeded." Quick to wave off concerns, that was the grail's agent.

"I've come to inform you that Assassin has been summoned." She recited as though she had practiced the lines before. "And...due to your words earlier...I double checked the spell and found no false ties that could allow for tampering with the summoning. All is safe." Hearing the hesitation in her words brought no relief to Naruto, though for now, he chalked that up as her refusing to give him credit.

"If your so confident in yourself then you can leave. I would rather get more sleep before tomorrow." The white haired man said as he got back into his bed, Caster standing and moving to the door.

"Your so infuriating sometimes." He heard her whisper before she left the room, his face becoming one of ease as he heard her footsteps vanish.

(Morning)

When Souichiro came to take his new charge, he found him missing. The clothes that were cleaned for him gone as the futon laid rolled up in the corner of the room. A small note saying that he would be back was left on the desk.

In town, Naruto was on top of the buildings, one arm wrapped around his leg as he gazedaround. Looking to the sky, another vision struck him. A blonde haired servant fighting against a beast of a man.

"It seems Saber was summoned last night." He said before his body was cracked.

The cracks shattered, leaving nothing in his place within town. After his disappearing act, a dark skinned, white haired man walked onto the building and stared at the spot Naruto was at before looking out into the open.

'Who the hell was that?' The man thought to himself before he vanished in a blue haze.

(Hours later)

Walking out of a treeline on the other side of town, Naruto found himself at a church. Staring at the statue in front of the door, he closed his eyes before entering. The door opened with an ominous creak, Naruto's sword at his waist as he stared into the holy building.

"Welcome to the house of the lord. If it is Salvation you seek, please leave your blade at the door." A tired voice said as someone stepped into his view.

Brown hair...dead eyes...and a Priest garb.

"Kotomine Kirei." Naruto drawled out.

"It seems you attract all the strange ones Kirei." Another voice let itself be known as Naruto turned to the benches.

Golden hair, bright red eyes and an arrogant personality that made even Naruto sick to his stomach.

"What are you staring at Mongrel?" The blondes said as Naruto's pupil changed to it's normal star shape.

"It's just interesting to see the King Of Heroes...humanities greatest...in debt to an old priest." Naruto taunted as he turned his attention to the priest calmly.

The church remained quiet as Naruto noticed how late it had gotten. Originally arriving at dusk, he noticed as the light of the moon had stared to flow into the church.

"So you know the identity of my guest." Kirei started as Naruto chuckled.

"A priest who strives for what he selfishly desires, even at the cost of the world. How could one like Gilgamesh ever stand beside you." With his taunts used, Naruto turned away and pushed open the door, but stopped to stare over his shoulder. "I would watch your back Gilgamesh...you might get in over your head." With that piece of advice, Naruto opened the door only to feel weight fall onto his chest.

Looking down at his chest, he saw a head of Auburn hair getting him. The owner of said hair backed up with an embarrased smile. Closing his eyes, he walked passed them and continued to walk down the gravel path until he was stopped by a blonde women in a yellow raincoat.

"What class designation are you?" She questioned.

"Come again?" He asked as the woman raised a hand towards him.

"I don't have a class. Unlike you and the others, I am not a servant nor a master. Artoria Pendragon." Naruto responded, shocking the Servant in front of him.

"How do you know that?" She asked, shocked at the reveal of her name.

"I've already explained this to another person today. As such I won't be repeating myself to you." He said before turning around only for his eyes to widen.

"Hey Saber. You and me are gonna be working together for this war." The voice of Saber's master came from behind the two as Naruto and Saber drew their weapons.

"I didn't want to have to put up with this but it seems like I won't be going home for a bit." Naruto said as he drew the attention of Saber's master to him.

"You're the guy from before." Saber's Master said as Naruto glanced behind him.

"I'm not the one you should be focused on right now." He said seriously before someone else pushed into the conversation.

"It's good to see you're doing well Shirouko. But unfortunately for you and your servant there...I'm going to have to stop your progress here and now." Following the voice, Naruto and the others found themselves staring at a girl, roughly the same age as Shirouko, with snow white hair and bright red eyes. A purple dress with a matching overcoat was her choice of dress.

"Who are you?" Shirouko asked as the young girl offered a bow.

"I am Illyasviel Von Einzbern. And this fine gentleman to my right is my Servant Berserker." Swinging her arm to the right, the group gazed upon a mountain of a man that Naruto named in one try.

"Berserker." He said, a bead of sweat going down his cheek at the power behind the servant in front of him.

"That's right stranger. Now do be careful. For he might just drive you crazy." Illyasviel warned as Berserker let out a roar and charged the group.

(End)

This chapter has been a bit over the place but summing it up is quite easy. Naruto now has a place to stay, despite it being under Caster's watch. And he has a single condition, should Souichiro die, Naruto is to look after Caster. Sasaki has been summoned under Caster as per cannon and Naruto is about to be dragged into a fight with Berserker.

Now since you all noticed this. Archer in this is Shirou Emiya as opposed to being a female Archer. The reason being that Archer has already been recorded into the Throne Of Heroes as the potential future of Shiro Emiya. Thus, if this was to repeat then the possibility of a female Archer being summoned would exist. If you have a problem with that, then I'm sorry but that's how this is. But for this, Naruto's existence has been the reason for the split for the two.

Other changes could occur, for instance, Illya's growth and Rin's lack of appearance for now. Anyway, I'll talk with you guys later and thanks to my story developers Blackit Tamer and Spacecore94 as they have been a good help and actually are the ones who have help with the creation of most of my stories.
