Why is My Life So Screwed Up?
Summary: All I wanted to do was learn some stupid Fuinjutsu, was that too much to ask for?! But nooooo, I had to get sent to another dimension entirely! Why?! I probably somehow managed to piss of Kami a ton to make him do this to me. Wait, I think a guy with pink hair is running towards me. I also think he's on fire… RUN! AHHHHHHHHHHH! BYE, SEE YA', GOTTA GO! WHYYYYY DOES THIS HAPPEN TO ME?
Chapter 1: Damn Fuinjutsu!
Fairy POV (Narrator)
It was a beautiful day in Onibus town, no one could complain. The birds were singing, the trees were swaying to the wind and life was good. The city itself was bustling, citizens and traders going about here and there, buying and trading at other people's stands. Very recently, a dark guild called Eisenwald had taken over the train station and had tried to kill everyone by broadcasting Lullaby's, a flute created through dark magic, song to everyone in Onibus. Fortunately, a group of mages from Fairy Tail, a legal guild, had stopped Eisenwald from committing mass murder. It was revealed that Eisenwald's master, Erigor, was actually also trying to target the masters of the legal guilds while they were having their annual guild meeting in Clover. A few days after, the whole episode was forgotten and everyone was having an awesome da-
BOOM!
The populace of Onibus stopped in their tracks and swung their heads all over the place as they heard the skull-rattling explosion. Children started crying, fatalists were declaring the end of the world, and a certain few mages were having way too much fun for their own good.
"I totally caught you Erza!"
"What are you talking about? I didn't feel anything!" Two figures were running, one had pink hair, the other had red hair. The redhead suddenly stopped and turned around to face a grinning pink-haired boy. He blinked as his face slowly morphed into that of fear as Erza's turned into one of glee. The boy suddenly turned, let out a very unmanly scream, and ran. And when I say run, I mean bolt, like, no one could compare. Except for Erza. She caught up to the oddly-haired boy easily, picked him up by the scruff and threw him into the distance. While all this was going on, the bystanders were watching the spectacle unfold, some with confusion, some with amusement, and some with fear of Erza's ungodly strength.
The red-haired 19-year old turned around to face 3 people, scratch that, 2 people and a floating cat.
The blonde of the trio sighed, "Did you have to throw him that far? Now we're going to have to catch up with him before going back to the guild. Master's also gonna be mad at us for damaging so much." She stated as she looked around at the damage, she looked to be around 17 years old.
"I say we just leave match-stick here and go back. He'll find his way back to the guild. I hope not though, there'd be less stupidity in the guild then", said the black-haired boy, who also looked to be around 17.
Erza clicked her tongue, "I agree with Gray, we were supposed to leave yesterday but because Natsu and Happy got into so much trouble with that hotel. We had to rebuild it afterwards."
"Natsu was the one who rampaged!" Happy protested weakly.
Lucy shuddered and went into slight PTSD, "So much fish…"
Erza sweatdropped as Lucy got over her temporary trauma and glared at Happy with the intensity of a thousand enraged Natsu's. Said blue cat ducked behind Gray fearfully, "It wasn't my fault, I just saw the hotel's fish supply and my cat instincts took over, I swear!"
"Aaaanyway… we should head back to the guild, I'm sure Natsu will be back there soon enough." The redhead rolled her shoulders.
Gray just yawned.
Meanwhile…
Natsu was delirious from his crash landing…
"Ahahah, floaty stars…" Natsu twitched multiple times while lying on his side with a massive bruise on his head, smoke rising up from him as if he was the element he commanded.
Back with the Antag- *cough* I mean Protagonists…
Lucy felt that that would not be the case, she looked back at the demolished office that no one had paid attention to while Erza and Natsu were playing tag. Hold up a second, that was tag?! Erza freakin' flung Natsu away. Not to mention they destroyed another building.
Gray sighed, "Alright, if we're gonna go then let's go already, I'm getting bored in this town." And with that silent agreement between everyone, they headed towards the train station while Natsu, through his slightly unstable state, was oddly glad that Erza had flung him away like that. That is, until the hill he had landed on formed a landslide from the force with which he crashed. "Urgh!" Natsu's cheeks bulged and his face turned green as the motion sickened him. (Author shakes his head in disappointment, "I somehow expected more from you.") Natsu slowly sped up with the landslide and slowly got covered in a ball of organic matt- "AHHHHHHHHH!"
(Author grows tick-mark; head expands Naruto-style, "SHUT UP WHEN I'M TALKING!")
In another dimension, Iruka sneezes. 'Some young, fine lady must be talking about me. Ah, the joys of life.' Iruka puts on a grin that freaks out his class. It was never good when he grinned.
(Well now that we've seen Iruka in the Naruto world, we might as well stay in this world for a while.)
Ninja POV (Narrator)
"Nice Naruto, I'm surprised that you've managed to get so far in seals considering how low your IQ is! I think you're at least as strong as me in everything except seals!" A spiky white-haired man complimented a blonde-haired kid sitting over a scroll drawing some complex symbols and lines.
Naruto scowled at the jab at his intelligence but beamed at the compliment of his strength. "Thanks, ero-sennin! Now do you think I can finally try that dimensional sealing technique that I've learned the theory for over a thousand times?"
Jiraiya adopted a more serious look, "Kid, seals are dangerous, especially ones that have to do with dimensions, that's why I'm having you learn very carefully."
Naruto sat up and stretched, "Yeah, yeah, I know, but isn't 57 times over kill?" Sweat formed in small beads on Naruto's head. Jiraiya sighed and took out a storage scroll, unsealed the contents, which were papers recording Naruto's progress in sealing, and examined them in silence for about 15 minutes. After what seemed like decades to Naruto, Jiraiya looked up with a confused look on his face. "When did you do this assignment, I wasn't planning to give you this until a year later." Jiraiya showed Naruto a worksheet that was completely filled with Naruto's surprisingly neat handwriting. The blonde yawned, "You don't remember? I'm not that surprised, we had reached that town and I asked what to do while you went to get 'provisions', you were drunk from drinking sake and you just pulled this out and threw it at me before heading into town. Why?" Jiraiya gaped before looking from Naruto back down to the paper multiple times. The man cleared his throat, "Naruto, I was only able to figure this out a month ago. You realize that fact declares your knowledge of seals?"
Naruto shrugged, proud that he could do something his master did only recently. "It took me longer than the other ones but not more than 2 hours to complete it. Of course though, you didn't ask about my progress because you were hopelessly drunk and the moment you came you crashed down to sleep."
Jiraiya chuckled sheepishly, "Huh, I guess I should probably drink less and pay more attention to your progress." The reason Naruto wanted to learn the dimensional sealing techniques was because it was much more effective than scroll sealing as you didn't have to carry around a scroll to carry things around. The technique ripped open a portal to another dimension and allowed you to store things there. Basically, because worlds are huge, you had tons of storage space wherever you went; you could even seal your whole house inside to have anything you wanted. The difference between scroll sealing and dimensional sealing is that the scroll seals the items inside itself, therefore, if the scroll got destroyed, you wouldn't be able to recover the items sealed within. The problem with the dimensional sealing technique is that you have to be careful as you could only use the technique in this dimension, because if you fell into the pocket and the portal closes, you were screwed. Naruto mainly wanted this sealing jutsu to store all of his ramen so that he'd never run out of it.
Jiraiya sighed once more, "Alright brat, you can start trying out the technique tomorrow; after all, it is 1:00 AM." Naruto cursed that he'd have to wait even more to be able to actually try something for once. 'Oh well, a few more unconscious hours won't feel very long at all.' And with that, the two spiky-haired humans set up their sleeping bags to have their rest for the night. AS he was lying down, Naruto couldn't help but feel that something was going to happen soon. It was common knowledge for ninjas to never ignore their instincts but Naruto forgot that due to selective memory and sleepiness.
Outskirts of Kurohoshi Town – 11:00 AM (Naruto World)
Naruto and Jiraiya had got up at about the same time, so Naruto gathered some fish from the nearby river for Jiraiya to cook up for breakfast. When Naruto went back to their campsite, he found an already smashed Jiraiya leaning against a tree snoozing. Naruto shook his head in disappointment, 'Why is he my teacher again?' Naruto started cooking up the fish himself as he waited for Jiraiya to wake up, which to his anger, would be hours later. 'I guess I'll start practicing the technique now, I know the handseals and everything so it should be easy enough.' Naruto took out the papers that had the theory of the technique down and looked them over for a final few times. Slowly, he tried the handseals while channeling a small amount of chakra to his hands and a few moments later, he saw one of the most amazing things occur right before his eyes. Wind buffeted his clothes slightly as a small rip appeared in the air and slowly widened. The hole expanded until it was about the size of Naruto's torso. The leaves had started gravitating towards the hole as the air pressure slightly lessened and air was swept into the nothingness. A floor formed in the pocket, but in the middle of the process, the rip in space-time imploded and winked out of existence. Naruto jumped back a few feet as his shinobi instincts put him on guard with a kunai in his hand.
Naruto relaxed his muscles as he walked back to where the rip was and waved his hand in the air. He put the implosion down to the fact that he hadn't used enough chakra since the rip only lasted for 10 seconds. After that he kept practicing with a larger amount of chakra each time, but it was no use. Every time it only got longer by about half a second. Naruto slowly but surely made progress with the technique, but hours and hours passed and he couldn't get the hole to last more than 20 seconds, Jiraiya had also checked up on him after two hours and went to get more supplies. Naruto finally got fed up with the technique and channeled as much chakra as he could into his hands and performed the jutsu. Suddenly, a huge rip formed extremely quickly and everything was being sucked into it. Grass, animals, bugs and trees got pulled into the rip. Naruto tried his best to stick to the ground and peered into the hole.
What he saw wasn't a pocket dimension.
It was an actual world.
There were fields of wheat and other grains; he could see mountains and blue skies. He saw and actual city and others.
Naruto got so amazed that he stupidly lost his concentration, cut the chakra to his feet and got violently pulled into the time-space hole which led to the world. He got pulled in so hard that he flew at about 60 miles per hour and smashed his head into a tree. He groaned and lay there for about an hour as his head had hurt and extreme amount. After the hour passed, Naruto felt his headache fade away and got up. He felt lightheaded and dizzy so he guessed he had a concussion as he tried walking. Naruto groaned once more as he crashed into many trees, probably making his concussion even worse than it already was. As he lay on the ground with his head throbbing again, he realized that his technique had not created a pocket dimension, but it opened a portal to a different dimension. Naruto, now alert and awake, jumped into a standing position and analyzed his surroundings. He was surrounded by vast plains of green and yellow grass, with mountains off in the distance. The view looked just like the one he had glimpsed from outside the portal when it was sucking everything into it. As Naruto looked around, he could see debris back from his dimension lying all over the meadow around him. Far away, he could view a fairly large-looking town where the buildings' style differed greatly from the ones back in his own world. These buildings had a slicker, clean look and were more symmetrical and smoother than the structures in his hometown, Konohagakure. Naruto felt a pang of nostalgia as he remembered his home; he had been away from there for about 1 and a half years on his training trip with Jiraiya and missed the village and his friends greatly. Once he remembered about Jiraiya and the training, he got sick; he had remembered a few sentences about the sealing technique which frightened him greatly. 'Remember Naruto, be careful when having to go in the pocket dimension to place large items in, if the portal closes, you won't be able to get back even if you are a master at this technique' was only one of them and the other was The portal has a maximum length of staying open which equals 2 hours, the creator of this technique made it this way. Naruto went pale, he had been sure it was already more than two hours after he opened it, after all, the sun had moved from where it was earlier by half the sky. 'No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO!' Naruto thought in a panic. He looked around to see if the portal by a slight chance would be there; no luck, he couldn't see the giant damn rip in time-space that had pretty much screwed him over. Naruto quickly tried the handseals to open the portal up and hoped he would succeed, despite what his master had told him.
Nothing.
'Come on, come on! Please work for me!' He thought franticly as he flipped through the handseals once more. Again: nothing! 'Argh, why won't you work?!' Naruto molded the chakra and formed the handseals carefully and slowly now. Ox, boar, tiger, rat, tiger, dragon, bird, ox, monkey. Once more, nothing happened, not even the slight breeze that always accompanied the technique. Naruto fought down some tears from his frustration; this surprised him, he hadn't cried since he was 9, he had learned not to show his tears. 'Why, why, why?!' Naruto banged a tree with his hand crunched into a fist. Naruto pulled up his head to the sky and screamed, "WHY WON'T YOU LET ME GO BACK HOME!" The sound resounded through the whole biome and Naruto fell down on his behind, tears streaming down his face and dripping onto the ground, mixing with the rain that just started.
