Here it is: the first sequel to Shinobi's Lament! Not gonna lie, I'm pretty giddy about this. I mean, SL is going to be the biggest series of stories from me. Doing multiple stories of the same character going through multiple different dimensions sounds nice.

Speaking of which, I have updated my profile with the current requests of following sequels. Please give them a read and give me your thoughts on as many of them as possible.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.


SL: Fate/Dominance

A woman with long black hair and blood red eyes gazed upon a multicultural town from her position atop the cliff. She wore a black military uniform with a red cape and hat. The town she was gazing upon was Fuyuki City, battlefield for the Holy Grail war. But that wasn't the reason she was looking at it.

"You really love that view, don't you, Archer?" Archer didn't budge as her master stepped up next to her.

"Of course I do." Archer said. "I have always enjoyed what is new, and Japan didn't have all that technology back in my time. What a shame..."

Her master chuckled. "There will be plenty to tryout in between the conflicts of the war. Come along now, the remaining opponents have almost arrived to Fuyuki."

Archer turned to her master. "Are you preparing your next summon for the Silver Faction?"

"The circle is ready and most of the remaining Command Seals have appeared on my arm with each of my opponents summoning their Servant." He rolled his right sleeve and revealed the six sets of three silver Command Seals. "Now, all I need are the catalysts."

"To think that a single man could become the Master of seven Heroic Spirits..." Archer smirked. "You make for an interesting Master, Naruto Uzumaki."

Naruto smirked in return. "I do believe Caster said the same thing. Now then..." Naruto opened a rift. "Shall we?"

Archer nodded. She glanced at Fuyuki City one more time before stepping in the rift.


"One of your familiars has returned with one of the catalysts." Caster, sat upon her throne, said as Naruto and Archer appeared from the rift.

Caster was a woman of immense, perhaps peerless, beauty. She had long black hair and black eyes along with pointed ears. She wore the darkest of dresses and her presence exudes a pleasing aura. It was to be expected, for Caster was a queen who indulged in many luxuries.

But while she was most definitely easy on the eyes, Naruto will always find Elisabetha and Lisa more beautiful.

"Excellent. I will summon the third Servant shortly." He was about to walk out of the room when he stopped himself and turned to Caster. "By the way, Caster, how are you enjoying your Noble Phantasm?"

Caster smirked as she caressed the armrest of her throne. "It feels absolutely rejuvenating to sit upon my Gardens. I was impressed that you could take me to the necessary materials so quickly and even hide my Noble Phantasm among the clouds above the city."

"I have many powers, Caster. I am not one of those little modern day magi." Naruto walked out of the room.

"His existence is a slap to the face of the gods." Archer smirked.

"Yes. A man so powerful that he can alter the world around him." Caster smiled. "What better Master can we ask for while facing another faction?"

"What about that 'Chakra' of his?" Archer asked.

"It is not a complete replacement for Prana, but it works fine nonetheless." Caster closed her eyes. "Remember that he said that he would fix that problem."

"He did, but the question is how." Caster hummed in agreement to Archer's words.


Naruto stepped in a room with a large magic circle, combined with Fuinjutsu, drawn on the floor.

"Here is the Catalyst, Dracula-sama." A Zetsu fazed through the floor and handed Naruto an object.

Naruto's eyes became gleeful as he saw the catalyst, one half of a horned helmet. He placed it in the middle on the circle.

"Here goes..." He placed his hand on the circle and focused chakra throughout the entire circle. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"

The magic circle glowed in a blinding light. After a moment, the light dimmed down and an armored figure stood before him. An armor of steel with red linings and a horned helmet. Despite not being of a large stature, it would still be very intimidating.

"I am the Servant Saber of Silver." Saber said. "Are you my master?"

Naruto smirked. "I am. Welcome to the Fourth Holy Grail War, Mordred Pendragon."

"You know who I am, which means you found an ideal catalyst." Mordred noted.

Naruto nodded. "I found what was left of your helmet."

"I see." Mordred placed a hand on her helmet. "Father did slice it in half in our last battle."

"And you will have your rematch." Naruto said. "For your father was summoned as the Saber of the Red Faction."

"So that's why you summoned me." Mordred realized. "You wanted a counter for my father."

"Would you rather not have been summoned?"

"Never. I shall claim victory over my father and make him realize his mistake."

Naruto smirked. "Excellent. For now, you should get acquainted with the rest of the Silver Faction."


A man wearing a black trench coat over a similarly colored suit typed away in a laptop.

"Kiritsugu." A white-haired, red-eyed woman walked in the office. "Are you still searching?"

"I have to, Iri." Kiritsugu Emiya said. "The news of the Silver Faction by the church threw everything off balance. Now, we have to work with those who were supposed to be our enemies to defeat this new unknown." His eyes narrowed. "Just what is it that caused this so close to the war's beginning?"

"The excess of Prana within the Grail?" Irisviel von Einzbern asked. "No wish has been granted for the previous three Holy Grail Wars, right? Perhaps all that Prana is the cause."

"Maybe." Kiritsugu leaned back against his chair and closed his eyes. "But this remains a problem. Instead of six, we have thirteen Servants to worry about."

"But surely we'll be fine, no?" Irisviel smiled. "The Einzbern family has both you and Saber to count on to bring them the Grail."

Kiritsugu smiled. "Right. We can't fail now." He opened his eyes. "Not when our wish is just around the corner."


"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"

A blinding light emanated from the magic circle once more.

A tall figure appeared. Clad in black armor and wearing a hat with long red feather falling down his back.

"Hmph, I have been summoned in the Rider Class." Rider smirked. "There is no Class more suited for me. You, who called upon me, who are you?"

Naruto crossed his arms. "I am Naruto Uzumaki, the sole Master of the Silver Faction."

"The only one, hm?" Rider shrugged. "It matters little. So long as I get a decent challenge."

Naruto smirked. "There are seven Servants in the other faction. Ignoring Caster and Assassin, surely one of the remaining five has a chance of being a challenge, no?"

"That remains to be seen." Rider crossed his arms.

"Quite. For now, Saber is in the training area. Perhaps a spar with him will be enough for now?"

"I will be the judge of that."

"Follow me, Rider-san." Zetsu walked out the room, with Rider following it.

"Dracula-sama..." Another Zetsu appeared from the floor. "About Rider-san..."

"No need to worry." Naruto said. "he is but a fail safe."

"A fail safe?"

"If one of the Servants of the Red Faction gives us any difficulty in finding it, like when they are in their astral form. Almost no energy flows between Master and Servant at that point, so I am unable to sense them accurately. Or hell, if I just take a Servant's soul for my own. So, I will fill the Grail with a sacrificial Servant. And what better sacrifice than someone bound to betray us?" He smirked. "Someone like Lu Bu Feng Xian?"

"Ah, I see!" Zetsu grinned. "And you know when he'll betray you, because you can sense negative emotions!"

"Indeed. At any rate, the last Servant of Red, Caster, has been summoned. While no energy flows between him and his master, his desire to kill is great, making him easy to find."

"Speaking of Servants..." Another Zetsu appeared. "Here you go, a stone from a certain prison."

Naruto took the stone, which had been a part of the prison made for this dimension's version of his beloved niece, who also happened to be this dimension's version of Carmilla. How odd that two of his most loyal followers were the same being in this dimension. Granted, there was no such link between them and Dracula in this dimension.

He placed the stone down and began the summoning.

When the light of the summoning dimmed, his eyes widened.

"I am Servant Lancer/Assassin of the Silver-" Both ladies stopped talking and turn to each other. Their eyes widened and unadulterated rage shone in their gaze. They each drew their weapon: Lancer a long grey spear and Assassin a staff.

Lancer was a young lady, teenage years probably, with horns on her pink-haired head and a...dragon tail? She wore a black and white dress with diamonds, the ones on the playing cards, on it, with some also being on her skin. That dress, along with those boots, seemed befitting a jester.

Assassin, on the other hand, was a fully-grown, mature woman. Her outfit was quite revealing, with the biggest article of clothing being her skirt, which went down to her ankles but did not cover her front, revealing her stockings and her underwear that was attached to her bra by leather straps. She also wore nothing to cover said bra and wore a veil over her eyes.

"You!" Both ladies cried out at the same time. "What are you doing here!?"

"That's a surprise." Zetsu said. "And they were summoned from the same catalyst! Does that mean they're both..."

"Yes, I believe so." Naruto said before he stepped forward. "Elizabeth Bathory, calm down!"

Lancer and Assassin turned to him. "You meant to summon me?" They asked.

"I meant to summon Elizabeth Bathory, yes, but I did not expect to summon two Elizabeth."

"Then get rid of her!" They pointed at each other.

Zetsu just kept chuckling, finding some sort of amusement in this debacle.

"That's enough you two." Naruto crossed his arms. "I ended up summoning the two of you, so you two will be my Servants, like the rest of the Silver Faction."

Assassin stood at her full height. "You summoned the entire Silver Faction?"

Naruto rolled his sleeve and revealed his Command Seals. "I have. All that's left is Berserker."

"That's impressive." Lancer laughed haughtily. "But of course, someone who could summon me must definitely stand above the worthless pigs of the world!"

Assassin frowned at her younger self. "I hope you won't have us fight side by side."

"And have you two kill each other instead of the enemy?" Naruto raised an eyebrow. "At the very least, you are to tolerate each other's presence until the Red Faction is defeated."

"Tolerate the presence of this hideous monster?" Lancer scowled at Assassin.

"Your presence is equally revolting, little brat." Assassin turned her nose.

"Oh my god..." Naruto sighed. This was going to be a long day...


"Still nothing, Kirei-kun?" A man dressed in a red suit asked. "Surely this 'Silver Faction' can't be completely invisible?"

"Unfortunately, no one has made any contacts with the church about being Masters of the Silver Faction." A young, brown-haired man, wearing a blue uniform and a cross around his neck, said. "Either they do not know the proceedings, or they don't care."

"Not caring about standard procedure for the Holy Grail War? How arrogant."

"And yet, amusing." Both men turned to the third man in the room. A man with bright blond hair and red eyes, wearing golden armor. "Following every rule gets dull and unappealing after some time. There will always be a rule breaker, Tokiomi."

"Perhaps." Tokiomi Tohsaka concedes. "But do you approve of someone breaking the rules in your gardens, King of Heroes?"

"Of course not." The King of Heroes, Gilgamesh, said. "They will be punished accordingly, but I will look for entertainment in those mongrels' audacity."

"I fail to see how this is entertaining..." Kirei Kotomine said before he turned back to Tokiomi. "But, I did bring some good news. The Silver Faction did summon their Lancer and Assassin at the same time, with their Rider being summoned just before them."

Tokiomi's eyes narrowed. "Only one Servant left, then..."

"Leaving the Mad Dog for last." Gilgamesh scoffed. "Such a boring Class of Servants."

"Assassin will keep an eye out, not only for the Silver Faction, but the others of the Red Faction as well."

Tokiomi nodded. "The Grail can only grant the wish of a single duo. We will have to face the others afterwards, if infighting isn't already guaranteed."


The hulking giant standing before Naruto was his final Servant. His skin was as dark as charcoal and only wore armor on the lower half of his body.

"Are you Darius III?" Naruto asked.

Berserker nodded.

Naruto smirked. "Perfect. I summoned you as one of my seven Servants because one of the enemy Servant, Rider of Red, is someone familiar to you. A man by the name of Iskandar."

"ISKANDAR!" Berserker roared.

"Even in this state, you remember him..."

"Grail...Iskandar...fight..." Naruto heard in his head. Since taking the souls of the Yamanaka Clan, he had telepathic powers, obviously, but these powers were as easy as breathing with the Master-Servant bond, so much so that Berserker could somewhat relay his thoughts.

"Your wish upon the Grail was to face Iskandar again..." Naruto realized. "You will have your fight, I will give Iskandar the challenge if I have to."

Berserker calmed down at his Master's words.

"The Holy Grail War will begin shortly. Everyone of the Red Faction has finally arrived in Fuyuki. The battles will begin soo-" Naruto stopped himself, looked over his shoulder and smirked. "Right now... Red Lancer's Master is impatient, it seems."

Naruto stepped out.

"You've all sensed it, I gather." Naruto said, seeing all his Servants in the throne.

"Of course." Rider scoffed. "I may decide to answer the challenge."

"Wouldn't recommend it if you want a worthy challenge." Naruto said. "The enemy Servant is Lancer, Diarmuid Ua Duibhne. While he is faster, he is nowhere near resilient enough for your might."

"The First Spear of Fianna?" Mordred asked. "I would enjoy facing a fellow knight."

Naruto nodded. "Other than Rider and Berserker, you're the only one who can face him and win. Who knows, maybe others from the Red Faction may answer the challenge."

Caster smiled. "What a volatile first battle."


Irisviel and Saber walked on to the docks where Lancer was flaring his presence. Saber was a woman with blonde hair and green eyes. She currently wore a black Tuxedo.

The two of them stopped when they found the Servant. From the two spears wrapped in purple bandages, a long red one and a short golden one, in his hands, they realized he was a Lancer. He was a man with roughly combed-back black hair with a teal body suit.

"Are you a Servant of the Silver Faction?" Lancer asked.

Saber shook her head. "I was summoned by the Red Faction."

Lancer sighed. "What a shame... My lord, thy bidding?"

"Let us wait, Lancer." Saber and Irisviel heard a voice echo throughout the docks, but found no one else. "While defeating another Servant would be beneficial, defeating the Silver Faction is our priority."

"Glad I answered the challenge, then." Saber, Lancer and Irisviel looked up to the many containers at the side of the docks.

"Yo, name's Naruto Uzumaki. I am one of the Silver Faction's Master." He gave the two finger salute.

"And where is your Servant?" Diarmuid asked.

They heard footsteps until they saw Silver Saber step up next to Naruto.

Mordred looked at Red Lancer first, then at Saber. "Father..."

"The time will come, Mordred." Naruto thought. "Remember, you decided to answer the challenge."

"Right." Mordred thought before jumping down the containers. "Shall we get started, Lancer of Red?" She asked, her sword at the ready.

"Yes." Diarmuid took his stance. "Let us have an honorable duel, Saber of Silver."

Mordred charged forth and deflected the thrust of Gae Dearg before dodging Gae Buidhe. She went with an overhead strike that Diarmuid blocked with both spear.

"Amazing." Irisviel thought. "Saber of Silver fights fiercely while keeping an eye out for both spears."

Mordred deflected Gae Buidhe on the ground, using a foot to keep it planted on the ground, and blocked Gae Dearg before sliding her blade along the length of the spear, striking for Diarmuid, who was forced to let go of Gae Buidhe to avoid the attack.

Diarmuid clicked his tongue at the loss of one of his spears.

Mordred charged with Prana Burst and swiped at Diarmuid, who blocked and slid back on impact.

Prana Burst was an ability that Naruto found much akin to the Futton Jutsu: Unrivalled Strength. Mordred used her Prana to gain extra strength, endurance and speed.

The two servant kept trading blows for a while. Naruto glanced up to the crane. Thanks to the link of Prana between Master and Servant, he knew that one of Kirei Kotomine's hundred Assassins was atop, observing the battle. Not to mention Iskandar and his Master on the bridge between Shinto and Miyama. There was also the Matou Master and his Servant waiting for the right moment to strike and the Golden King being nearby. Red Lancer's Master had no such link with his Servant. The link of Prana was with someone else.


"The first battle of the war has begun." Kirei reported. "A Lancer and a Saber are fighting, with another Servant watching the battle from up close."

"Their Statistics? Can you see them through Assassin's eyes" Tokiomi asked through the magic-enhanced communicator.

"I can see them clearly. Lancer's speed is superior, with Saber's strength and resilience being superior, as well as possesing a skill that amplifies her physical prowess. Saber also disarmed Lancer of one of his two spears, putting Lancer at a disadvantage. I suppose this should be expected of the Strongest Class. Saber is definitely the bigger threat. The same goes for the observing Servant, Whose statistics are mostly A-ranked, possibly another Saber."

"I see. Any Masters?"

"Two of them are unconcealed. One is a woman of silver hair accompanying the observing Servant and the other is a blond male but is not Lord El-Melloi, possibly one of the Silver Faction's Master."

"So only one Master has the wisdom of hiding..."

"No." Kirei said. "While the woman is worried about the collateral damage, the male seems unburdened. Either he firmly believes his servant will win, or, even in defeat, he has nothing to worry about."

"Such arrogance... It was to be expected of the Silver Faction... Wait, you said a woman of silver hair."

"Yes, a red-eyed caucasian. Her appearance is almost inhuman."

"An Einzbern Homunculus." Tokiomi said. "They created another artificial human? It seems Kiritsugu Emiya is not their only pawn..."

"Is she the Einzbern Master?" Kirei asked.

"Whether she is or not, she will influence the war greatly. Always keep an eye on her."

"Understood."


Mordred and Diarmuid stood face to face.

Diarmuid smiled. "While there is no honor in a battle fought without an exchange of names, I offer you my regards. You seem to have hardly broken a sweat."

"You've yet to compare to what I have fought in life." Mordred said. "But your prowess with the spear is commendable."

"That's enough, Lancer." Red Lancer's Master commanded. "Stop dragging out the battle. Defeat Saber of Silver with haste. You may use your Noble Phantasm."

"Understood, my lord." Diarmuid said as the bandages disappeared from Gae Dearg.

"If Gae Dearg is now released, then I must double in caution." Mordred thought. "Its ability to negate Prana will pierce through my armor."

"Do not allow Diarmuid to reach Gae Buidhe." Naruto thought. "We both know its ability is the more dangerous one, if he strikes skin."

Mordred braced himself.

Diarmuid took his stance. "I shall go for the kill now, Saber of Silver."

"If that is so, then I give you the same courtesy." Mordred claimed.

Both Servants charged forth and clashed blades. Neither were getting the upper hand, as Mordred did not allow her armor to be struck and Diarmuid did not leave any openings.

"I see that victory will not be achieved so easily." Diarmuid said.

"Are you disappointed?" Mordred asked. "You are facing a fellow Heroic spirit and a fellow knight. Victory will not come at the snap of a finger."

Diarmuid smirked. "Your words strike true. What about you? Will you fight at full strength?"

"Apologies, Lancer of Red, but my Noble Phantasm is reserved for my favored opponent in this war."

"Then I will have to pick up the pace, I see."

"Why are you talking so much?" Red Lancer's Master was growing impatient, unknowingly revealing his position to Naruto. "Finish the battle already."

"What impatience." Naruto said. "You are not the one fighting. Your opinion matters little when you make no effort."

"Silence you fool!" The Master growled. "I do not recognize neither your face nor your name. You are but a third-rate Magus!"

Naruto smirked "Third-rate Magus? What an affront. Perhaps I should go atop the warehouse and strike you down."

"WHAT!?" For but a moment, there was panic in his voice.

"Indeed, I am special among the Silver Faction." Naruto closed his eyes. "You won't evade my notice with such a pitiful barrier to hide yourself."

Naruto leaned his head to the right, dodging a sniper round. Everyone's attention turned to the source of the gunshot.

Kiritsugu's eyes widened. The moment he heard that Naruto could sense through barriers, he knew he had to be taken care of. And yet...

"Nice shot." Naruto smirked. "Have one of my own!" He pulled out the Silver Gun and shot at Kiritsugu, who barely managed to hide behind cover.

"Kiritsugu..." Irisviel muttered.

"He's fine, Irisviel." Saber said. "The bullet missed him."

Naruto holstered the gun back in his haori before he glanced toward the bridge. "About time."

Lightning struck in the middle of the docks before a chariot pulled by a pair of oxes landed down on that spot.

The Rider was a red-haired and bearded man with over two-hundred centimetres of height. With his armor, he wore a red cape.

"Everyone, holster your weapons!" He commanded boldly. "I am Iskandar, King of Conquerors, Servant Rider of Red in this Holy Grail War!"

Most people were stunned that he revealed his identity so readily. Ironically, those shocked were all of the Red Faction, his supposed allies, as those of the Silver Faction already knew his identity. The only one Naruto did not know of was Berserker of Red, who had a similar ability to Mordred to hide his Statistics and his true name was never mentioned by the Matou.

"What the hell are you thinking, you idiot!?" A teenage boy with neck-length black hair exclaimed from within Iskandar's chariot.

Iskandar flicked his Master on the forehead before turning his attention back to his fellow Servants. "Fate has brought us together to fight for the Grail. But first, there's something I want to ask." He raised his arms and had the biggest grin on his face. "How about yielding the Grail to me and joining my army? You will be treated as my friends, and we shall share the joy of World Conquest together!"

There was a long silence.

"I'm afraid I'll have to decline." Diarmuid said. "I will only offer the Grail to the lord I have sworn loyalty to. Not to you, Rider!"

"What audacity to step in the middle of a battle!" Mordred growled. "You are no king of mine, I will not follow through with this ridiculous plan!"

Iskandar frowned before turning to Saber. "And what of you?"

Saber narrowed her eyes. "Your proposition is an insult to my pride as a knight!"

Iskandar sighed. "Is there no way to negotiate?"

"SILENCE!" All three Servants demanded.

Saber stood proudly. "As the King of Britain, I cannot bow my head to another."

"She revealed herself so readily." Naruto thought in amusement. As a former knight himself, he knew of chilvary, but had long since discarded those principles with the deaths of those dear to his heart.

"King of Britain, you say?" Iskandar asked before he grinned. "What a surprise. I didn't expect the King of Knights to be a little girl."

Mordred pointed his blade at Iskandar. "Her gender has nothing to do with her prowess, King of Conquerors! My father is a marvellous ruler!"

Everyone's eyes widened at Mordred's claim.

"So, you decide to reveal your identity, Mordred?" Naruto asked. "The final result will be the same, either way."

Saber's eyes narrowed. "Mordred..."

Hatred and Prana began flaring as one. The source coming from an appearing Servant. Clad in a dark shroud, even his armor looked like it was made of the shroud.

"Berserker of Red." Naruto thought.

"Are you going to invite him, King of Conquerors?" Diarmuid mocked.

"He doesn't interested in negotiating." Iskandar shrugged before looking at his Master. "Boy, how powerful is he?"

"...I can't tell." The boy said.

Iskandar raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean? Do you not have the 'Master's Clairvoyance'?"

"Berserker has an ability to hide his Statistics." Iskandar turned to Naruto. "Mordred has one as well, as the other Masters' noticed. However, Berserker's ability is superior, for even his statistics are hidden."

Red Berserker let out a howl of rage, before ripping a street light from the ground and charging at Mordred, who braced himself. The street light turned red and black in Berserker's hand. Berserker pole-vaulted and struck from above as Mordred blocked. Mordred let the pole slid down to the ground before spinning and striking Berserker, who blocked with the pole, sliding backward.

Iskandar cupped his chin. "The pole should have been cut clean with that strike. But, with his Prana, Berserker seems to be able to enhance what he holds in his hand to become as durable as a Noble Phantasm."

Red Berserker charged forth once more and clashed with Mordred, who met him blow for blow.

"He strikes with surprising skill for a Servant without an apt mind. Such battle mastery with something that isn't a weapon. And he turned said object into something comparable to a Noble Phantasm." Naruto smirked. "Looks like I found myself a soul to collect."

Mordred and Red Berserker traded blows some more before the street light was cut by Gae Dearg, its Prana-negating ability making quick work of the Prana-enhanced 'weapon'. Red Berserker looked at his 'weapon' for a moment, but didn't discard it. He merely ripped off the part that was sliced.

"That's enough, Berserker." Diarmuid said, taking his stance in front of Berserker, both of his spears in hand. Of course he would take the opportunity to grab Gae Buidhe. "Saber of Silver already had business with me. I will not allow any interference."

Naruto chuckled. "Infighting in the Red Faction already?"

"Lancer!" Lancer's Master called out. For some reason, Iskandar's Master was stiff in fear upon hearing the voice. "Saber of Silver is your enemy, not Berserker! Do not hinder him, aid him!"

"My lord, please understand!" Diarmuid pleaded. "I will slay Saber of Silver! I, Diarmuid Ua Duibhne, swear this on my honor! But this beast hold no honor, I will not let it interfere!"

"...With my command seal, I order you-"

"El-Melloi!" Naruto called out, gaining everyone's attention. "Still your tongue before you cause trouble."

"How dare you!" Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald growled.

"Take a look at this battlefield, blind fool!" Naruto spread his arms wide. "The King of Conquerors and the King of Knights both stand here in this battle! Do you think you will get away with trampling the honor of a knight in front of them? Will you cause more infighting in the Red Faction just to satisfy your haste?"

Every knight in the battlefield gave some respect to the bold Master.

"Besides..." Naruto smirked. "...battles should be fought Faction against Faction... Rider!"

A red blur rushed past him, aiming straight for Red Berserker, who barely dodged a stab.

Lu Bu, sitting upon his crimson steed, pointed his halberd at Red Berserker. "Come, Warrior! Give me a real challenge!"

Berserker charged forth.

"Yah!" Lu Bu's steed ran forth and Servants met midway, clashing their weapons.

"How is this possible?" King Arthur exclaimed before looking at Naruto.

Naruto shrugged. "Since everyone spilled the beans, I guess I'll join the bandwagon." He rolled his sleeve, revealing his Command Seals. "I am Naruto Uzumaki, the sole Master of the entire Silver Faction!"

The Red Faction's eyes widened.

Naruto then pointed at Iskandar. "And one of my Servants, Darius III, wishes to face you and your army once more!"

Iskandar's eyes widened before the biggest grin yet appeared on his face. He raised his arms high. "If Darius can summon his troops, then I will gladly meet his challenge with the greatest joy in my heart!"

Naruto smirked. "He will be overjoyed to hear that." Indeed, he could already feel Darius shake in excitement. "Unfortunately, that will be for another time."

"Indeed." Iskandar's attention went back to the fight between Lu Bu and Red Berserker.

Berserker pole-vaulted and struck at Lu Bu from overhead. Lu Bu blocked the blow and used the momentum to make Berserker fall to Lu Bu's left, sliding the street light along the halberd's length. Before Berserker could land, however, Lu Bu swiped his halberd, forcing the street light out of Berserker's hands, before grabbing Berserker's neck with his free hand. Red Hare ran forth and leaped in the air. As Red Hare was landing toward the ground, Lu Bu used the landing momentum to throw Berserker at the container, making the Mad Warrior crash down heavily.

Lu Bu grunted. "Pathetic. Without a true weapon, he will never match me!"

Berserker groggily got back up, leaning against the smashed containers. Berserker growled at Lu Bu before disappearing in Spirit form.

"Hmph, running away like a coward." Lu Bu made his steed turn around, pointing his halberd at the remaining Reds. "Can any of you provide me with a decent challenge?"

Kayneth clicked his tongue. "Lancer, withdraw."

Diarmuid looked at Naruto. "You have my thanks, Master of Silver." He said before he disappeared in his spirit form.

"I guess this means the show is over for tonight." Iskandar said before his chariot took to the sky, his Master's cries following behind."

"How boring." Lu Bu disappeared, knowing there was nothing else for him to fight. He was well aware of who the last Red Servant was, and had no problem leaving her to Mordred. He was very familiar with the concept of facing paternal figures.

Saber turned to Naruto. "You are a bold one, Master of Silver. Revealing your status in such a way, I give you my respect."

"And I give you my sympathy, King of Knights." Naruto said. "The Red Faction is pretty divided right now..."

Saber sighed, knowing he was right. She then turned to her son. "Mordred..."

"Father... Do not forget what I said to Lancer."

"...Your Noble Phantasm." Saber realized. "I see... Yes, this battle is inevitable."

"Until we meet again, Father." Mordred disappeared.

"Well, it's my turn." Naruto dusted his pants off and walk away. "May the next battles be as formidable as the ones tonight!"

Naruto walked away from the docks and stopped. He threw a kunai and waited until it hit its mark before bringing it back to him with Jiton. He caught the kunai and looked at what he caught.

A worm...

Naruto smirked. "I see..." He breathed a bit of fire and the worm was burned to ash.

He then turned back to the docks and smirked. "Caster was right. It was a volatile first battle." He glanced to the side. "Amenotejikara."

One of Kirei's Assassins appeared before him. He looked around, surprised in the sudden change, before Naruto grabbed his head and snapped his neck.

"There. That's done." Naruto crossed his arms. "Now, you've been observing me for a while. Who are you?"

A woman walked out of the shadows. She had pale-white skin, glowing yellow eyes and neck-length blonde hair, although it looks roughly cut, like with a blade instead of scissors. She wore black armor along with black heels and stocking, leaving only her thighs exposed. Strapped to her left hip was a dark purple sword and she held a flag in her hand.

"I am the Servant Ruler." She claimed. "I am the one meant to oversee the completion of the Holy Grail War within the Grail's sense of logic."

Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Then you are... the Grail's enforcer?"

Ruler nodded. "You are the one favored by the Grail, as evidenced by the Twenty-one Command Seals on your arm. Of all the Masters, the Grail sees you as the obvious victor. Upon the authority of the Grail, I shall stand by your side and assist in your victory."

Naruto smirked. "I see. I did not expect the Grail to take sides... Is it perhaps caused by the Church taking Tohsaka's side?"

Ruler shook her head. "While they go against their neutrality, I am here before you because the Grail favors you."

Naruto uncrossed his arms. "Very well. Come along, Ruler, I was about to return to base, but I have to take care of a worm."

Ruler raised an eyebrow before she followed Naruto.


Sorry if you think this part is too close to canon. I simply believe that Kayneth would the same thing here than he did in canon, only aiming for a Silver Servant rather than any Servant. Lancelot aimed for Mordred because I'm certain, for all the grudge he had for never being punished by his king, Lancelot hates Mordred that much more for rebelling. Gilgamesh remains unrevealed to the Red Faction because Kirei never 'attacked' Tokiomi and the battles by the warehouses took all the attention.

Le Grondement de la Haine is the proper way of saying it. La Grondement du Haine is butchered French.

That said, this is the end of the chapter. Please give me your thoughts on not only the story, but also on the requests I wrote in my profile!
