The lost gem
All Naruto could see was the endless blue ocean all around him from his boat why was he sailing a boat alone in the middle of the ocean? Because sometimes life can kick you where it hurts.
...flashback...
"What the hell do you mean I'm banished!" shouted Naruto outraged from what he was just told. He just got back from a accomplishing his mission to retrieve his teammate sasuke who tried to direct to the snake sannin orochimaru, the mission almost cost the team there lives and naruto had to fight him with a little help from the fox.
He had just been cleared out of the hospital and was currently talking the the hokage tsunade and his surrogate grandmother who unfortunately was giving him bad news.
"I'm sorry naruto but while you were recovering the council had a meeting" said tsunade with a pained expression "they found out about you using the kyuubi's chakra to fight and beat the last uchiha and believe your to dangers to stay in the village" she said at the verge of tears "they did this without me knowing and by the time I found out it was already to late. I'm so sorry naruto"
All naruto could door was star at her crying form trying to contemplate what was happening, after everything he's done they still hate him why? He didn't ask for this fox but there still expecting him to do bad. But he couldn't do much now can he but find comfort for the women in front of him.
"It's alright granny I'm not angry with you it was out of your hands" he said walking around to her.
tsunade turns to hug him after a moment they separate "so what happens now?" asked Naruto.
tsunade takes a breath "you'll have today to pack all your things before you are escorted outside of the lands borders and after that your on your own" she said in a sad tone.
"but where will I go?" asked Naruto.
tsunade waited to say this next part carefully "to your mother"
Naruto was confused "my mom? shes dead old hag"
smiling at the insult she would miss before answering "at first I thought so to but after your banishment was decided I looked around and found some information left behind by the third"
Naruto was confused by this news "the old man?"
Tsunade nodded "Yes apparently your father left behind a letter with details about your mother"
"my dad, Who his he?" said Naruto wanting to know the truth.
Tsunade thinks for a moment and decides it's the best time to tell him sense there was no point hiding it anymore "Your father was Minato Namikaze the fourth hokage" she said waiting for the boys reaction.
Naruto for his part was shocked his dad was the fourth? and the one who sealed the fox in him, at first he didn't believe her but when he thought about it he did look like him a lot but why? didn't he know how the villagers would act?
"I know it my be shocking and it brings more questions but jest know as the hokage he had to protect the village and couldn't ask such a thing from another family. And as a father it was the most difficult thing he ever did" said tsunade seeing the look on his face,
Naruto understood, he wouldn't want anyone els to suffer like he did "It's ok granny I don't hate him for it but I would still punch him hard if he was here"
"And I'm shore he would understand" she said agreeing with the idea.
"But where is mom, and why did she leave?" asked Naruto wondering if he really was abandoned but inside he was happy there was still family somewhere.
Tsunade sighs "I dont know all I do know is what Sarutobi learned from his investigation along with other info left by your father about her whereabouts"
"and?" he asked.
The hokage pulls out a file "It's all here, or at lest what he could find. You can us it to find all the answers to your questions"
Naruto reached his arm to his chest "So where am I going?"
Tsunade looks at a sheet from the file "According to this your going out side the elemental nations but to the out side world they call it the Bermuda triangle"
"The Bermuda triangle, that's weird" Naruto said confused.
"Indeed, and apparently we live in a separate time zone and the only way out is throe a vail that opens once a year" she said making shore he understood.
"And when will it open next?" Naruto asked.
"in a few days" she said waiting a moment "and there's one other thing. When I said we live in a different time zone I mean out there one month is one year here"
now that got his attention "What the hell!? There's no way I'd agree to that crap! What about all of you?"
"Naruto you would be safer out there then in the nations away from any dangers" said tsunade thinking about the Akatski and danzo's root "And the chance to find family and so happiness from this mess makes it better because all I want is for you to be happy somehow" she said crying thinking shill never see him again but knowing he could be happy gave her hope.
Naruto thought about it and understood she wasn't taking this better then he was so he pulled her into a hug thinking it's what they both needed now "I'll miss you granny"
...end flashback...
The day he left was a sad day for many, all his friends were there to say there goodbyes along with giving him there parting gifts. It was a surprise to see sasuke there to, it terns out while he was recovering he realized what he did was crazy and how it cost him dearly so he gave naruto a scroll on fire jutsu.
Jiraiya and Tsunade gave him his inheritance knowing heed need it. It consisted of scrolls on jutsus along with some money and some books on sealing jutsu all which the sage sealed in a scroll for safe keeping.
Kakashi was there apologizing for not being a good sensei but told him the secret of the clone technique.
Sakura was crying, so Naruto comforted her saying it wasn't her fault so she promised she would get stronger for him
With everything packed and the goodbyes and hugs were given he left to the port town in wave where he met old man Tazuna to his surprise seeing the brig named after him.
they where all happy to see him but depressed from hearing about what happened but Naruto cheered them up when he told them where he was going so Tazuna helped him get a sailing bot and told Naruto how to get to the vail from the story's he heard.
So Naruto staid the knight before his journey and finely read the letter from his dad.
-dear Naruto-
If your reading this then my worst fears came true and I'm dead I'm sorry if I sealed the kyuubi in you but I could never ask anyone els to use there child.
And that's why I trusted you, I knew that if anyone could handle the fox it was you but I had many enemies so I gave you the last name of our allies the uzimakie's but I fear the villagers might not understand and I won't blame you if you hate me.
so I'm hopping you'd find your way to your mothers home you see son your mother wasn't human I met her when I was patrolling outside the village from reports of bandits. by the time I got there half of them was already beaten and that's when I met her I knew she was different when I first lade eyes on her but I could tell she was a good person.
So after it was dealt with I walked her to the village she told me she came here on vacation after hearing about this "triangle" at first I was skeptical Until she showed me her shapeshifting that she used to blend in along with other things she could do.
She explained how she was something called a crystal gem from some place called beach city and they protected humanity that was good enough for me, we spent time together and she was something special I never met anyone like her and each day we got closer at first we just hung out and later we started dating. She always found someway to make me smile and that's how I fell in love with her and her with me then one day this went on for three month's until one day she told me she was pregnant, at first we were both shocked and frightened about being parents but that was soon replaced with joy more so your mother but she told me that to give birth to you she would have to give-up her physical for so I quickly tried to find a way to help her and with my research I developed a seal around it I'm hoping it works and you'll have a mother there for you just no that I love you and I hope you have a great life -love your father Minato Namikaze-
Naruto finished he re-read it twice with tears in his eyes. this just gave him more questions, he wasn't human so what was he then? what's a crystal gem? Whey did she leave? And were the heck was this beach city!?
Naruto rubbed his head irritated "This crap is just crazy" he decided it was better to sleep know and figure this out later
...time skip...
It had been days sense he set sail and found his way throe the vail in time and not so surprisingly he was lost after that. Seriously he was no sailer but it did give him time to go over all the books and scrolls he got plus the clone jutsu helped loads shame it couldn't help right know.
Naruto stands at the front of the boat to look around "Ok" he spins the map around trying to read it then pulled out binoculars to look further ahead "I'm so-o-o lost, I mean what was I thinking learning how to sail overnight? This is ridicules" he said, he had no idea where he was and he wasn't anywhere close to his destination and he couldn't sail around forever, was it to much for his dad to leave something on how to get to beach city or whatever?.
He searched some more about to give in until he saw something in the distance. He turned the boat and sailed closer, it took some time but he eventually was close enough so he looked again to see, a spiral shaped tower, in the middle of the ocean? He thought it was an island, maybe there might be people who can help him! he gathered his things and sailed closer and closer to the tower until he heard running water like a waterfall Naruto tried to get a better look but soon regretted it because it was an island but it was below a huge waterfall surrounding it!
Naruto tried to turn the boat around and sail away but he was already being pulled in by the currant "Oh come on! Can't I get a break already!" he was running out of ideas but one. He thought he could reach the ledge so he grabbed his things and got ready- "I really don't want to do this" -and jumped "Oh Craaap!"
...p.o.v. Change...
Four people had just appeared on top of a platform in front of the tower the first was a toll maroon colored woman with dark cube shaped hair waring a black and crimson bodysuit with big thick shads covering her eyes, she was called garnet.
The second who was called pearl was a slander cream colored woman with a pointed nose and a pearl like her name on her forehead, she was waring clothes that made her look like a ballerina,
The third was a short woman was amethyst with bright lilac skin and long pail lavender hair waring an off shoulder tank top and black leggings with star shaped cut outs and if you noticed she had an amethyst gem on her chest like her name sake.
The fourth was Steven universe he was the shortest of the group a young boy with curly black hair waring a salmon-pink t-shirt with a yellow star in the center with blue jeans and sandals along with waring a burger on his back. He looked up "wow, the sea spire" he said amazed at the site.
The other three on the other hand looked distort at the condition it was in there was pieces falling of for crying out loud!
"It wasn't like this a hundred years ago" said pearl clearly upset at the mess.
Garnet observed the area "I'm sensing structural instability" she said in a calm tone.
Steven looked over the edge "oh ya that's never good" he said not noticing the ground beneath him was cracking.
But pearl did "Steven!" she called out.
The ground broke off and Steven was about to fall but he was quickly rescued by pearl and carried back to the group.
Pearl was holding him close "alright hold on, were taking Steven back" she said holding him tighter.
"oh my akin stomach" came a sound from Stevens bag so he pulled out a stuffed toy "Oh mr queasy ha-ha" he laughed playing with it.
Pearl didn't look amused "Steven! This place is your heritage, I want you to stay and help but you really got to take this seriously, can you do that Steven?"
Steven gives her a thumbs up "You got it dood" he said with a funny face.
Pearl narrows her eyes "yes" she knew she would regret this "Know let's go we can't wait for any surprises" she said trying to get back on track.
Amethyst waves her of "psh, what could happen out here? Where in the middle of the ocean"
"Oh Craaap!" yelled a voice above them.
They all looked up shocked to see a sailing boat fall down the waterfall but they all had there eyes on what looked like a boy jumping to them but almost failed if he hadn't grabbed the ledge.
"He needs help!" said Steven running to him but garnet stopped him so she could do it. She walked to the boy and pulled him up.
"Oh thank kami I made it!" he said before realizing there was other people with him "um hi"
They all got a better look at him, he was a short boy waring an orange jumpsuit with blond hair with white tips blue eyes with tanned skin mixed with some other color that seemed familiar to them and on his face was what looked like whiskers.
"Hi!" said Steven answering him.
but pearl was suspicious "who are you? And what are you doing here!?" she demanded.
Naruto looks at the pale woman "you know it's rude to ask for someones name without giving your own first right?"
Pearl flushes in embarrassment at his words while Amethyst chuckles at her "well I'm pearl"
"Garnet" she said no point in hiding it.
"yo name Amethyst" said the short one
"and I'm Steven!"
"Oh! Well I'm Naruto uzimakie the most unpredictable ninja ever, believe it!" said Naruto in confidence.
Steven went star eyed at the clam "Wow your a ninja!?"
"Ha you bet!" Naruto said proudly.
Pearl narrowed her eyes at the self proclaimed ninja "yes that's all well and good but that doesn't explain why your here"
Garnet finally put him down "I was just trying to find directions thinking this was an island but when I got close I saw the waterfall but I was already being pulled in so I jumped" he said nerves from the look she was giving him but his eyes widen "Oh no" he said looking over the edge "Oh come on! that was my boat and now I'm trapped here!? I mean a tower at the bottom of a waterfall in the middle of the ocean? Who dose that!?" he said sagging his shoulders "how am I going to get to land know"
Steven couldn't stand seeing him upset, Steven could tell Naruto was nice so he walks up to him "Hey it's alright, if you want we can take you to land" he said paring Naruto's shoulder.
Naruto's spirit was back in an instant "Really!? You can help my?"
Amethyst shrugs "Shore don't see why not"
But pearl was still suspicious "Amethyst we don't know anything about him he can't just come with us" she looks to the leader "Garnet say something"
Garnet contemplates this fast "enough look we don't have time to debate about this it going to be midnight soon so we need to get to the top of the sea spire now"
Pearl considers this and sighs in defeat "Oh alright" she looks at Naruto "but I'm watching you" she said giving him the watching gesture.
Naruto was trying to be patient with her but if she was going to be this way then so be it. He razes his arms "hey I'll behave so don't get all grumpy with me pointer nose"
Pearl stuttered "po-pointer nose!?"
Naruto chuckled "Ya careful were you point that thing before you pock someone's eye out" he said making her glair more.
Except Amethyst who could barely hold her laughter "Ha-ha-ha-ha! Pointer nose haven't that of that one" she said giving him playful punch to the arm "your alright kid" he had spunk she liked that.
Garnet had enough of the distraction "enough we need to move know"
They all nodded and fallowed her and pearl was keeping a closer eye on the boy.
They all ran over to a gap in front of the tower entrance but garnet signaled them to stop.
Amethyst didn't see a problem "What's the holdup? We can clear this easily"
"Ya I can jump that no problem" said Naruto getting ready to do just that.
But garnet holds him down "no the magic that sustaining the whirlpool creates a vortex that will pull us below" she warned so she picks up a large rock surprising Naruto how strong she is and hopes she's not as strong as granny but steps back when she throws it and it stops mid flight being pulled straight down below.
"a killer vortex wow" he said summing it up "Shore why not, just some more crapy luck and I can say this is a bad day. And that's saying something"
"language" scolded pearl.
"what? Can you honestly say my lucks been great today?" asked Naruto.
Pearl didn't answer realizing his point "so we can't jump?" she said getting back on topic.
Steven has an idea "oh wait" he said putting the bag down and opening it.
"that's a backpack?" asked Naruto finding it strange.
"it's not just a backpack. It's a cheeseburger backpack!" Steven cheered.
Naruto razed an eyebrow confused "what's a cheeseburger?"
Steven and Amethyst were both shocked by this "how can you not know what that is" she asked.
Naruto shrugged not seeing the big deal "we never had something like that back home" he said noticing Steven tying together two shirts "what are those for?" he asked him.
Steven showed him "they were for keeping warm but check it out" he said tossing one end throe the hole above the door on the other side. Steven holds on tight taking a deep breath and jumps.
"Steven!" the three shouted in horror.
Steven was dangling and getting deeper "He's getting sucked down" said amethyst.
"We have to do something!" said Naruto watching with anticipation but stops when he sees a determined look like his.
Steven runs up the wall "cheeseburger backpack!" he cried outreaching the top and faced the others showing them he's fine but tried to hide the sweat and panicked look.
Naruto looked impressed "not bad"
"Steven waitago!" cheered amethyst but the other two didn't shore her enthusiasm "common guys" she said pulling a whip out of her chest.
Naruto at first thought it was a jutsu until he saw her, gem? Naruto grabs his jacket.
Amethyst repeats the proses and grabs the other two "Steven style" she cheers and gets them across.
Pearl was the first to recover from her stopper "never do that again" she told him.
"sorry" said Steven but notice Naruto wasn't with them and sees he was still there "guys what about Naruto!?"
Amethyst looks back "whoops"
Naruto calls out "don't worry, I got this!" he puts his fingers in a cross sign "Shadow clone jutsu!" he yelled and the others are amazed when they see more of him appear in puffs of smoke.
"Alright guys! You know what to do" said the real Naruto so the others all jumped up landing on each others shoulders. Then they tilted forward to reach the other side but they were starting to be pulled down so the main Naruto quickly grabs onto there backs and uses them like a human ladder.
When he reaches the top he sighs in relief "thanks guys" he said dispelling the jutsu. He looks to see the shocked faces of the others "what?"
"h-how did you do that?" asked Pearl.
"that was awesome!" said Amethyst.
Garnet staid silent but wonders the some.
"I told you I was a ninja" said Naruto.
Steven was exited "that was so cool! Can you teach me how to do that pleas!"
Naruto looked at him "you already have plenty of guts with that stunt"
"yes and I think we should move on" said Garnet ruffling his hair and moving onward followed by Amethyst.
Pearl past him "it was pretty great" she told him, then looks at Naruto "I guess you did ok to" and moved with the boys close behind.
They enter the tower and find it in bad condition "oh it's worse then outside" said pearl pointing out the damage.
"what is this place anyway?" Naruto asked what was bugging him.
Pearl decides to hummer him "this is the lunar sea spire back in it's hey day it was an o-aces for gems on earth" she said proudly "it's abandon now but if we can get the Luna goddess statue to the top we can save it!"
Naruto was more interested in the first part "Gems?"
Pearl could hear the hope in the question "yes were gems, do you know about them?"
"well not really only the name" Naruto said looking around thinking hill find answers.
"So Naruto where are you from?" Steven asked wanting to know more about the cool ninja.
At first Naruto didn't want to say, but he wasn't in the nations anymore so there was no point "I came from the elemental nations"
"Where's that?" asked Steven never hearing of such a place.
Naruto remembered that they might not no about it his way "Well you people now it as the bermuda triangle"
Amethyst was listening in "The Bermuda triangle, man we haven't been there in forever"
Steven was exited "Wow there's an island there!"
"Last we checked it's civilization was just getting started" said garnet "And that was centuries after we cleared out all the gem technology"
"gems made it?" asked Naruto.
"No the triangle had already possessed a time anomaly" garnet stated "Gem scientists had enhanced it as to extend there research so they could develop more in a short time span"
They see the confused look on Steven "One month out here, one year in there" said Naruto.
"Oh" Steven said.
"Your pretty far from home" said Amethyst.
"Yes which begs the question what your doing outside of the triangle" said pearl "you know about the time difference"
Naruto didn't want to tell them about the fox or his banishment so he decided to tell them the half truth "I came out here to look for my mom"
"Your mom?" asked Steven.
"Ya my dad died the day I was born so I've been on my own for as long as I can remember" said Naruto with the others listening intently "I was told recently that my mom was alive and I gotten a letter left by him telling me where mom was and who she might be so I want to find her so maybe I won't have to be alone anymore"
The gems actually felt bad for him Amethyst could understand being alone for so long before meeting rose.
Steven understood wanting a mom and hoped Naruto would find his
and pearl felt guilty for opening wounds, she may not trust him but she wasn't heartless "I'm sorry"
"It's alright you didn't know" Naruto said.
"Do you know where she is?" asked Steven.
"Ya the letter said mom was from some place called beach city" explained Naruto not seeing the surprised looks on the gems.
"Really? That's my home!" said Steven exited that he could help him.
"It is? That's awesome! maybe you can help me get there" said Naruto exited to have his luck changing.
Garnet nodes her head "We can help you as soon as where done here"
Naruto jumps into action "Then what are we waiting for let's go!"
"Ya" cheered Steven.
They go hire up the tower until pearl finds a headless four armed statue "oh this use to have a had" she said upset "oh Steven once we get the Luna statue in place we can restore all this to it's former glory" she said with hope until some strange looking creatures crawled from behind it.
"Ek!" cried pearl in fright pulling out a spear and cutting down the statue throwing it over the edge
"What was that?" asked Steven.
"Crystal shrimp" answered pearl.
"Man you guys have strange thing out here" said naruto
"You guys!" called out Amethyst who went ahead with Garnet "We got a problem!"
The other three run up the stairs pearl gasped seeing the hole floor covered with crystal shrimp "It's an infestation, and we have to pass thro there to get to the top" she said.
Naruto doesn't see the problem "There bugs so we can squish them" he said about to grab one.
But pearl grabs him "Don't touch them there shards are deadly" she warned.
Naruto steps back "So is there a way to do this"
He watches as pearl makes images "Amethyst if you go over there and use your spin attack" she said projecting an image of the gem in question on the other end of them doing the motion.
"And garnet if you can go up here and hit this spot" said pearl putting her image above them.
"And Naruto maybe you can use your clones to spook them back" she continued with his image before making one of herself "I can use-
"Bagel sandwich!" cried out Steven throwing food out that actually attracts the shrimp.
"Brilliant" praised Garnet.
"All right" said Amethyst.
Naruto turns to pearl "well are you going to finish explaining you big plan?" he asked retorecly.
Pearl was speechless "I-how-" she walks up to Steven "How did you know that would work?"
"Well if I was a shrimp that's what I would door" explained Steven.
Amethyst ruffle his hair "You are a shrimp" she said moving on.
Naruto thought about it "I would move If it was ramen" he said fallowing.
"I would just like everyone to know, my plan would have worked" said pearl in defense.
"Ya shore, whatever you say" joked Naruto.
The group pass an archway to see a gap in there way they were moving further but was stopped by Garnet "Watch out!"
The wall burst open releasing all the water behind it making a fast flowing river "Great now there's this mess" said Naruto who at this point wasn't shocked anymore "So ideas anyone?" he asked.
They all stared right at Steven even Naruto seeing what he would do next "What, me?" said Steven noticing there looks.
"Whatov you got?" asked Garnet
"Come on" said Amethyst "Cheeseburger backpack!, cheeseburger backpack!," she chanted for him "Come on pearl" she said.
Pearl decides it might work "Well alright" so she joins in
"You to ninja your part of this now" said amethyst"
Naruto shrugs thinking why not "Cheeseburger backpack yeah!" he doesn't even know what that is.
Steven looks thro his backpack and pulls out "A raft!" he pulls the string inflating it.
"Wo" they said.
"Don't think we got that back home" said Naruto.
"Steven that's so sensible" pearl said proudly.
Steven throws it in but Naruto saw the problem "But what about the-" he was to late as it already landed but as soon as it did it flowed away and down the waterfall "-currant" they all awed upset at the fail until Garnet used her strength to nock over a support beam making it a bridge "Good idea anyway Steven" she said crossing with the rest.
"Ya we can't all be winers" said Amethyst.
"Ya as someone with more fails then most" said Naruto cheering him up "you get an F for effort"
That confused Steven "Is that good or bad?"
Naruto laughed "Guess you'll find out"
They climbed the last flight of stairs and after a long trip have finally reached the top.
Naruto looked around him and now that's his life wasn't in danger it all looked... kind of beautiful "This place is just...wow"
They walk up to an object in the center "We made it" said an exited pearl "The padistool" she looked up "And the moon is over head, it's not to late to save this pice of history" she said shaking with anticipation.
Naruto shook his head "Man is she always like this?"
"pleas, she's just getting started" answered Amethyst.
Garnet looked to Steven "Steven the statue"
Steven put down the burger to look for it but seconds pass steven looked thro other pockets and Naruto didn't like the worried look on his face "Did you check your back pocket?"
"Ya Steven what's the holdup?" Amethyst asked
Steven stoped shuffling thro the backpack "I don't have it" he said nervously "I must have left it on the bed"
The gems were distressed by this and Naruto looked worried. The gems looked up at the moon seeing they don't have much time left "There's-there's no time" said pearl.
"It's official, leaving the triangle cursed me!" Naruto said panicking at the Implications, even he knew what was going to happen.
"Wait! I have an idea" Steven called pulling out a stuffed toy.
"Your kidding me" said Naruto with pearl agreeing with him.
But Amethyst thinks about it "Could that work?"
Naruto thought about it more "Is there a rule that says we can't?"
They all look to Garnet even Naruto being around long enough knowing she's the leader hoping for her insight but all she did was shrug her shoulders humming un-shore.
Steven puts it slowly on the padistool and steps back. A light shines from the moon and everyone watches in aw as its rising up in the air but then it starts shaking before exploding "Ah!" the shouted in shock.
Naruto looked at the mess "I guess there was a rule about that"
The sea spire started shaking and Naruto could see the ocean closing in on them. Everyone was trying to stand from the quaking "Everyone keep steady" said Garnet before Amethyst knocks her down.
Steven looked around scared "No,no,no"
When the ocean was close enough the ground beneath the foot started falling apart "Alright that terra's it!" shouted Naruto thinking this was it "Sailing SUCKS!" and that was the last word before they were swallowed up by the sea.
It was seconds later until Steven was the first to burst out of the water with everyone els close behind.
Steven looked around sadly at the vast ocean "this is all my fault, I broke it"
"No Steven, the spire was falling apart when we got here" said pearl trying to be supportive "you've done everything well under presor, you did great"
Amethyst waved at him "Ya two outa four of your ideas worked" she said "That's fifty percent"
Naruto smiled at how much they were supporting him and wished others back home was like that. He swam up to the half gem "Steven kids like you and me still have much to learn. I thought I knew enough to understand myself but I soon realized I barely scratched the surface, so what what you need to do is take the failed moments from today and make it a success tomorrow"
Steven and the others speechless at his wisdom "Wo, that was deep" said Amethyst
the corners of Garnets mouth made a smile "Yes Naruto that was well said" and it made Steven feel better "Ya your right, we can't all be winners"
The water next to them started bubbling and they were thinking it was al threat but they calmed down when they saw it was the yellow raft they lost at the waterfall
They paused for a moment not believing it survived Naruto pointed at it "See one fail became a success"
"Woooo!"Steven cheered razing his arms. Everyone climbed on to the raft with three of them cheering "Cheeseburger backpack, cheeseburger backpack, cheeseburger backpack"
Then Garnet decides to give them the bad news "It's a three hour paddle back home"
The clearing stopped at this but Steven try's to bring back moral "Wet bagel anyone?" he said pulling it out of the backpack.
"I do!" said Naruto believing he might as well it was going to be a long trip anyway.
...three hours later...
After a long paddle they finally come to a dock on land "Finally! Real land" said Naruto.
"Yes I suppose it is good to be back" said pearl.
Steven ran in front of Naruto "See beach city just like I promised" he said gesturing his arms to the town.
Naruto looked at it "Like there was ever any doubt?" he walks forward before facing the group "Listen I know me jumping into your mission wasn't in the plan, but I just want to say... Thanks, for everything and for showing me an exiting adventure"
"Ya it's no problem little dood you were a good hang" said Amethyst.
"Well is suppose you warrant...so bad" pearl confessed.
Steven asks what was on his mind "What will you do when you find your mom?"
Naruto stopped smiling he, hadn't thought about it "I don't know part of me wants to ask her where she's been but the bigger part just wants to hug her knowing I have family out here"
Garnet nodded at the answer "Well all the same we wish you luck"
Naruto smiles again "I'll try, and agin thanks for the ride" he walks away waving.
"No problem the crystal gems are always willing to help!" steven said proudly.
Naruto froze at the name 'it couldn't be' he slowly faces them agin "Y-your the crystal gems?" he said narvesly.
The gems were confused "Yes Why, do you know us?" said pearl wondering what was into him.
Naruto was feeling hopeful "Ya my moms a crystal gem!"
"WHAT!" they all shouted in shock this boys mother was one of them, how?
"But that's impossible! If that was true then they would've had to give up there physical form" said pearl trying to think of an explanation.
Naruto was ready with the answer "My dad developed a seal to prevent that, you can take a look yourselves I have his notes"
Steven was more surprised "Does that make you a half gem like me?"
Naruto looked at him confused " your Half-gem?"
"Ya my mom was a gem and my dads human" explained Steven so he pulls up his shirt to show him a rose quorets gem on his navel.
Naruto's eyes widen seeing it "So that's normal?" he said clenching his chest again.
"Ya" steven said confirming it.
Garnet steps forward after getting over her shock and remembering a few thing from the mission "You have one on your chest don't you?" seeing the shocked look on Naruto's face confirmed her suspicion "Every time you saw us use are gems you instinctively clench your chest"
Naruto didn't know what to say, It was true he had it forever and did everything to hide so the villagers didn't think he was a demon. Only a few people close to him knew and they kept it secret.
Steven has an idea "Wait if he's like me then he has the same gem as his mom!"
He said Interesting everyone "so whatever gem he has that's who his mom is!"
