Disclaimer : Naruto is owned not by me but we all know that if you don't then you have problems. Cause if I did… well let's just say some of what would have happened is going to show itself later in this fic.

Before the Fall

If you're looking for canon in both where this fan fiction goes in the story and ships you may as well stop now. That bull shit from the Manga and Anime will not fly here. The butterfly affect will be felt.

It was the first new day in the new life of one Usumaki Naruto. It was the day after he got his new apartment from his jiji. It was something new to him, before he would have a curfew and someone to answer too. But now, it was up to himself on what he would and wouldn't do. Being the type of kid that he is, why we find him in the "old" section of the village. Old as in ruins, overgrown, falling apart, and far away from the main village. Do to the section that connected it to the rest having been destroyed sometime during the founding of the village. The place was left derelict and forgot about. Being Never explored, through a misunderstanding it was and old family compound at the time of the founding. Nobody knew it wasn't, but it was the last standing parts of a large base of operations from before the fall.

Naruto had loved going to this place. It was somewhere he could go during the day and he wouldn't be looked at as something bad. Even tho he has never found anything good (i.e. weapons, tools, and scrolls with jutsu) he did find a few sealed chest with some cloths and one or two books he couldn't read. Not knowing it was a completely different language. Which would not have mattered, do to nobody teaches him how to read anyway. Naruto would collect anything he found and place them in one of the few still standing homes. He had learned long ago (1 year) to never bring anything back with him or it would be taken.

That was why today was as going to be the best day. It would be the first time he would spend more than 1/2 an hour here. Do to the time it took to get there and back and the time he had to be back. Today he was going to spend as much time as he wanted. There was one building he wanted to explore but he never did do to never having time to do so. But not anymore, this time he would get to. This building always caught his eye. Unlike all of the rest of the buildings which were a mix of stone and what looked like rusted metal. It looked like it was all stone. Though when he had been in it he had found out it was stone and a real dark colored wood that made up the framework. The inside flooring was some shiny black tile still had a high shine to it after all this time. Stone pillars all over the place and just the entry way. He never explored the place do to the size of it. Just the entry area was almost bigger than the first floor of his jiji's office building. So he had left it alone until he would have time to look at it. Once he was in the building, which told 20+ minutes to get into (the main reason he never explored more of the building), he did a once over the entrance area to make sure he had not missed anything from his previous looks. Not finding anything he began to do what his jiji had told him once.

"When exploring a new place pick one wall and move along it sooner or later you will get back to the same spot. It makes it harder to get lost that way. And always leave markers so you know where you have been and where you have not." said his Jiji

So having used for all of the other buildings that he had been in. He began to explore the vast building. He would end up spending two weeks exploring finding significant stuff. Like on the first day he found a room with clothes which somehow still looked new. Day 5 was what looked like some workout area. It had open area, a track, and what looked like practice dummies along one wall. Not much else was found other than what he would find in other buildings. That was until day 15.

Day 15 started out the same as always find the spot he had stopped at and then continue. Naruto was getting dispirited because he could see the entrance area just down the hall he was on. It looked like he had this last door before he was back to his starting spot. Opening the door he lost all hope that there was some amazing treasure to be found. All he could see was a small cabinet in what looked like a bedroom. A low lying table off to the side with some bedding on the other side of the room. Just to make sure he did not miss anything he went to the cabinet and opened it. What he didn't know at the time was this find would change his life.

This is a new challenge that I had thought up not that long ago. It's one of two that I have on my profile. I'm working on the other as well first chap of the other should be up soon.

Looking for a second writer for both. I'm not good with fluff parts of writing, need someone for that. I could as you can see get the idea, direction, and pace. But fill in the rest to fatten it up not so much.

And yes more from AA will be posted just trying to think what I want to put out but it looks like more Chained world for now and maybe some other Ranma + Nabiki stuff. Trying hard to stay away from the Pokegirl stuff do to LEMONy goodness or I may try cleaning it up…. Not going to happen.
