In a world of snow and grey, alternative between colorful and colorless, sat a child with long white hair and crimson eyes. She looked to be 10 or so years but eyes could not judge her age as human, she was not.
A homunculus, the ultimate homunculus of the Einzbern family, she stood as the pinnacle of such craft but she was not created artificially. Her birth was natural and through love but her life was all without it.
Illyasviel wore collared, purple long-sleeved shirt with a light purple scarf to match, a long white skirt and purple boots.
She was staring blankly as the snow fell outside the abandoned castle; it reminded her of her home. A home that was only filled with harshness and showed no care for her wellbeing.
Illya was a cheerful child on the outside most of the time but inside she was lonely as she had no one to really call family. Her father had abandoned her for another and here she was in the country where the boy stayed.
"The war will soon be under way and my life will wither away. I wonder what this brother of mine is like. What do you think, Herc?" Illya muttered as she looked at her loyal servant, Hercules
'No response like usual, no fun isn't he.' Illya thought as her attention went to her phone, it wasn't anything special to her but today something special had taken place
'Someone manipulated space to such degree and whatever magic that was to send a phone and combine it with mine.
What is there purpose?
Who are they?' Illya was hesitating and hadn't opened her phone since she witnessed the phenomenon
Illya stared at it for awhile and looked at Hercules to find the courage, and opened it. She found an app that was not present before and clicked on it.
'Heroes chat group, what is this?' Illya was confused but continued and opened it, where she saw a list of messages and voice recordings from different some people while many in the group had yet to take part
Illya listened to Naruto's recording about the purpose of the group and was shocked as it meant they were communicating with such a high being.
'He can travel through dimensions and seemed very confident in his knowledge, and power. I can even feel it though his voice.
He is a nice person.' Illya thought as she was soothed by his voice and felt some measure of hope in her little heart
"Maybe he can help me but what will it cost, can I sell the secrets on my body." Illya muttered as she thought about the issue as it wasn't something simple, she was the Holy Grail and would lose her humanity once 5 servants died
'Let us just test out the waters as he already seems to know what I am.' Illya thought as she her name, Holy Grail
"Hello, Lord Seventh. It is an honor to be included in this group."
"Hello, little one. It is nice to meet you as well. Any requests as I am kind of free."
Illya understood as she kind of expected higher beings to have actually nothing to do or go around destroying pointlessly.
"I have a problem as you know; I am a homunculus and the Holy Grail for the current war. This means my body will die once 5 servants are dead so I require assistance." Illya wrote and then sent a voice recording on what a servant is
"Servants are spirits made into special familiars of the highest rank that are bound to the Master. They are called from the Throne of Heroes, where there real body exists. Though the servants are summoned, they do not posses their complete power usually as the master is not strong enough or the Grail."
"That sounds really interesting but I am really sad about your situation. It is pretty much human sacrifice by a different name and I will help you but to do that I need a body scan."
Illya looked at the answer and was happy as her initial opinion was correct; he was a kind person and didn't even ask for compensation.
'If he scans my body then all the secrets will be his, well it doesn't matter. They aren't really that valuable to someone of such caliber.'
"Okay"
----------------------
"Then don't be alarmed" Naruto answered as he connected to the world Illya was part of, through the phone and sent his chakra.
The little girl was covered his energy and felt, warm and safe like the times with her father that she felt tears on her eyes.
Naruto lost his childishness for a moment as he felt her pain and loneliness; she was a lot like him but even till now she only had servants by her side without any love.
A father that abandoned her, this pissed him off so much that he punched the table in annoyance.
"Piece of shit" Naruto muttered as he took a breath and calmed down while the time reversed and the table was fixed
"What happened?" Kurama fell from the air as he had jumped when Naruto punched the table and asked
"Just some scum in another world" Naruto muttered but he knew that his knowledge was biased and based on feelings inside of Illya not the real fact
'What could be the reason?'
Kurama nodded and went back to playing on his phone as it was something unique to him.
Naruto looked at him and just shook his head while trying not to laugh as Kurama look like a child.
"Thanks bro" Naruto muttered as he felt much better
Kurama looked at him for a sec and nodded
'Her body has many abnormal things and producing a lot of energy, which is not exactly normal according to Illya. Majority of her body is these magic circuits.' Naruto took in all the information from the scan and thought about it
From the scan, he understood how to replicate the process but it was quite useless as clones were much better and Orochimaru made them. Magical circuits could be useful as a secondary source of power though he wasn't sure about its use as the source was a little girl with not much power.
"Thank you for your cooperation, I will work on your problem and I hope if someone already knows then they should also respond. I have gotten some knowledge from the scan so I will gift you with a seal of mine along with chakra. I can't teach how to use magic so that is the only way as you don't seem strong.
With the seal, you should be protected from most damage and with chakra you can enhance your body to higher levels beyond normal human capability. It also lets you use magical like abilities to use illusion and elemental abilities but you can try that on your own as they are less important." Naruto wrote down, he gave her ability to safe as the seal would interfere with anything that happened but he wasn't sure so he to go research this stuff seriously and required some geniuses
Naruto made a clone and it disappeared as it appeared in Orochimaru's lab.
"Thank you for the assistance and for this wonderful gift."
"Good, also stop the war as it is the best way to avoid this problem for now or else I might need to visit but that could have negative impact on your world." Naruto answered truthfully as he wasn't really sure what would happen if entered another world like that, what if it tried to reject him
Unlike the dimensions he had been to, which had been dead with no system, this one actually had one and much complex one than his and it usually led to some serious shit according to the novels he read.
'Maybe I have been affected too much by those fictional stories. I should layoff, they aren't even that interesting.'
"I will try."
Naruto smiled as he saw a cute little child brighten up as she found a friend in him, it was something to be celebrated. Naruto stood up as the day's work was done and he was just sitting in the office by habit as the earlier years had been hard and he to get used to things.
Appearing above the building, Naruto looked at the city that could be called his home base and was satisfied. His path was righteous and the world was happy, no evil existed beyond a certain limit as humans always had nasty desires but now they never dared to act on it as judgment was swift.
It was something he had hard time against but walking the road of life and connecting with the world on a deeper spectrum made him realize that his way was doomed to fail from the start. He had just been deluding himself with the hope that people would learn to appreciate others and what they had, and not fight and cause death.
The world showed him the truth that no matter how far you go down in history, humans are not worthy of complete freedom. Giving them an ultimatum is better than allowing them to run around causing damage.
Putting in them jail will hardly work on most but once they know that an attempt at the crime will give the death, none would dare. It caused hatred by people but this world already operated on the concept of strength so it was not too hard except his own inner self collapsing under the guilt.
The support of his loved ones and results brought by the sacrifice of his old principles was what brought him up to rise to what he became in the end, the Immortal King of the world with a childish persona as he quite enjoyed doing things and not being the moody brooder as that role was taken by his shadow while the role of lazy ruler taken by his other shadow.
"Shika" Naruto called out in a calm tone as he stood looking at the sky covered in the seals that bonded the world with his powers for protection, he left nothing to chance.
The scene was beautiful as he did make sure it was spectacle and a special site for the people.
"So what does his highness want?" Shikamaru appeared from his shadow with a lazy attitude like always until things turn actually serious
"I want to talk about something I am working on at the moment and need your council." Naruto looked at him with a wide smile
"Please tell me it is not something troublesome."
"No way, why would you think such a thing? I am always making it easy on my slaves." Naruto replied with a chuckle
"You made me work on something pointless the whole week and did you just call us slaves."
"Shika, it was your wife and you must be hearing things." Naruto said as he patted him on the back and caught him in a hold as they flew into space at full speed, causing Shika to pass out from the excess speed
"Were you trying to kill me?" Shika separated from him and floated in space as he became part of the darkness
"Of course not, just checking if you got used to it or not."
"Please just ask next time"
"No promises but let's get back on topic." Naruto muttered as he lay on his back and floated slowly while looking at the planet that was like his heart or some other organ as the sun was becoming his heart as his sight changed to protect the whole solar system
"I have connected to other universes and am conversing the important figures of those worlds but I am only able to use voice and words as the video are not working. This is challenging but I believe for the greater I need to sacrifice my enjoyment a bit and need a way."
Shika just stared at him and shook his head; he knew to never leave the man alone with a TV remote but who could stop him from playing around.
"Why not use the Magic lantern body technique to produce a holographic version of yourself in their world or just work Katasuke on a holographic function."
"Shika, you wonderful friend of mine that stares pointlessly most his time that I think you have some brain problems, I love you." Naruto muttered as he hugged him tightly and disappeared after almost crushing Shika's body by mistake
"Asshole, careful with your strength" Shika cursed as his bones fixed themselves into place since the force applied had caused fractures
---------------------
"A surprise to see you here" Shion spoke as she chained down creatures of the dark world with her purifying energy that slowly killed them and drew out their essence
Hinata walked though a portal wearing casual clothing as she looked down at the abomination that tried to invade their world.
"Are they still being so foolish?"
"I don't know but at least it gives me some work so I don't become like our dear husband. I just saw him playing around with a phone like the children."
"Can't blame him, he is too excitable and staying on this world has caused him boredom while the adventure is just in sight."
Shion nodded as she understood while they were the strongest beside Sasuke Uchiha, all of them didn't have the same desire as Naruto. He wanted challenge as he had lived through a life of risks and turmoil, the peace and predictability just fill his desire.
He yearned for adventure, something new and something that required him to struggle and force him to go full power.
"I see and I am sad for dear but he fears too much."
"Tell me, did you see death when choosing that path." Hinata asked in a hopeful tone, she wanted help her husband even so slightly
Shion closed her eyes and shook violently, "DEATH TO ALL THE UNIVERSE, THE HORDE IS COMING. THE SAVIOR CANNOT LEAVE OR HIS EXISTENCE WILL BE TAINTED BY PURE DARKNESS."
Hinata was shocked by the scene of her powers going out of control and quickly took care of the demon with a chakra blast while forcing her chakra into Shion.
"SHION, RELAX"
Shion closed her eyes as blood was seeping through the eye lids caused by the overload and took in deep breaths.
"It's not a good idea, the world won't survive if he went too far and I can't tell when they will come. Also our deaths will not be good for him as it seems they will be permanent."
"I see then he needs to know" Hinata replied feeling tired as the world never gave him the break he needed or it was his own desire calling out to the darkness
"I already know, do you think I would have stayed without some actual proof. The King is not someone that can be ignored, he is a universal threat and my powers might not be enough is what I fear."
----------------------
"Katasuke, how are you doing? Anything new." Naruto said as he walked into the lab
"Lord Seventh, I am honored by your presence and I do. Please." Katasuke replied with a jovial smile as he didn't think the Hokage would come personally
"Good, I want to know the progress into holographic tech."
"Sir, we haven't worked on that yet"
"No problem, work on it now as it's off great importance." Naruto replied with a smile and patted his back, giving him a energy boost much required
-------------------
"Hello, seventh. You looking strong, can you come to my world or summon me to yours and we could have a good fight." Monkey King
---------------------
A.N Hope you enjoyed.
Later chapters will have characters conversing with each other.
Naruto won't be the one always giving a solution but the main one because of his resources.
Illya from Fate stay night
I will showing how the group affects them and the fights they take part in
The King needs to be a threat or else it makes him look stupid and the other immortal beings even more so, if they can just sit around with same level they had million years ago.
