This is my try with the friends on the other side, this shall be a whole new fiction but it will make up for me not swapping Kiba and Naruto in my other fiction, so while I do this one, allow me to point something out, none of you ever review to give me opinions... obvious, but I feel I could point it out to help me, I ask for your opinion on my stories, not how to improve my writing... also, for those who have trouble reading my fictions cause you can't tell where I stop narrating, and where they start talking, I shall inform you, I place three spaces between them... considering hitting enter twice everytime I wish for someone to speak, when I already do that when I change speakers, would increase the size of the chapter... and that would get tiring to listen about everyone saying my chapters are seaming shorter, considering I would complain about that as well... I really don't prefer stories like that, but some aren't that bad, I just deal with it when it's a story I wanna read, but I will not be doing that with my stories, I am sorry, but if you look above, then you will notice, there is a capitol A, and a small capitol A, clicking the big one increases the size of the letters... that might help, but either way, this is the first chapter to Naruto Uzumaki: friends on the other side

enjoy...

====three years after Kyuubi attack, two weeks after Naruto got kicked out of orphanage====

Naruto was walking around the village, he was told he had to learn to live in the harsh world alone, or he was never gonna amount to anything... although the owner of the orphanage had a long and well thought out speech, that both of them knew was full of BS. But back on track... Naruto had been introduced to the real world harshly, mainly cause the drunken bastards that saw him while he was looking for somewhere to sleep, thought it would be fun to show the brat how adults spend their time... and if you can't guess what happened... for the sake of keeping this fic rated Teen, you can ask in a pm

Naruto was miserable and alone, and he was feeling like crap,considering the other day he was beaten with a broom for getting too close to someone's lawn... although the lady who did it had to walk a block back home... which confused the boy greatly... and it made him mad, he was now sitting down in an alleyway, waiting for someone to come and hurt him again, he had given up, he just wanted to be left alone, but no one ever did, and so, when a couple grown men walked into the alley he was in, Naruto glared at them, and he kept glaring at them, even while they mocked him.

That's when he heard something in the back of his head, although it seemed dark and suspicious, he listened

'I have a way out' Naruto doubted it, but he would listen anyway 'I have friends that could help you' now Naruto was curious, what friends would a voice in the back of his head have? But as the men became annoyed with being ignored, and pulled out kunai knives to deal with him, he just shrugged and accepted the help 'and now, my friends, are your friends from the other side'

and just like that, Naruto's shadow morphed and stood up, which confused the men, considering the boy didn't, but as the shadow punched the man on the right, and said idiot started bleeding, the other two men started attacking, but something stranger happened

from the ground appeared an orb, and Naruto grabbed it, and pulled a staff out of the ground, the staff went to about his waist, which was really short, but everything worked out, considering something stranger happened, the bricks on the wall started to look like faces, weird faces, and they sang...

"are you ready?"

the man who got punched was the one who replied

"ready for what?"

"are you ready?"

and with that, a giant head appeared behind Naruto, as several shadows came from his mouth, all three the men tried to run, but as they ran, they fell to the ground, and when looking at their shadows, you would see that they were being dragged to the giant head, and they were sucked in, all the while screaming at the top of their lungs in fear

what chunnin, junnin, anbu, and the Hokage all saw when they arrived, was a wall with three faces on it, and their names written right bellow them, almost like a grave, and then they saw a little boy, sitting off to the side, holding a black cane, that was stomach high on him, dressed in rags, and sitting there, as if he was waiting for something, Hiruzen Sarutobi, picked Naruto up, and took him to his office, where Naruto slept the night away

===next morning===

Naruto woke up to yelling

"that staff obviously belonged to one of our husbands"

a pink haired banshee... how fun, the brunette seemed smart at least, the gray haired man in the weird get up seemed stupid though

"i shall have him inform me of how he got it when he awakens then, and if he did steal it, I shall hand it over to you"

"you do realize he will just lie about it right?" never mind, the brunette was just as much a bitch, just less loud

"and you don't think I can tell when i'm being lied to?" the boasting gray haired man sounded stupid...

"i got it from my friends" the little boy's answer concerned the Hokage, confused the white haired idiot, and annoyed the two grieving widows weren't there three guys my friends ate?"

that got the attention from both old men, the Hokage taking charge

"what friends are you talking about Naruto-kun?

"i asked a question first, and it is polite to answer a question, and it is deemed rude to answer with a question" the old Hokage raised an eyebrow

"the reason there are only two wives here, is because the third man that was there, had no wife"

after nodding, Naruto seemed to take the situation seriously "well, I mean my friends on the other side, when the three men came at me with the intent to kill, my friends came and saved me, they stopped the bad men from coming to hurt me"

"may we meet these friends of yours?" after shaking his head "why not?"

"they can only be summoned by the use of my staff"

Sarutobi handed the boy the staff

"and now I need to learn how"

the gray haired man had enough of waiting "listen boy" which was silenced when Naruto's shadow looked like he was playing with a yo-yo, when Naruto wasn't, causing said idiot to blank

"who are you anyway?" no answer... "hey!, i'm talking here!" that got the younger geezer's attention

"i am the great and mighty, Gallant Jariya! The desire of all women, the envy of all men, and I am also the author of the best novel in the world, Icha Icha Paradise!"

the women both went from wanting the boy dead to wanting the idiot dead... tells you how much said idiot is hated by women...

"so you are the idiot who wrote the damn books my husband read instead of sleeping with me?"

both male adults blanked "huh"

"what books you talking about?"

Jariya was looking at the two widows with caution, so intently actually, he never felt it when his pocket was opened and a book was lifted out of it... and Naruto grabbed it, and considering he couldn't read, he just looked at the pictures... which were too mature for this fiction...

"how is this entertaining?" all four adults looked at the boy "a bunch of girls without clothes? What is so entertaining about that?"

Jariya was angered, first, the boy got the book from him, then he insulted it... "they are not girls you fool, they are hot gorgeous women!" more glares from the widows

Hiruzen on the other hand didn't think Naruto should be getting into that stuff, so he walked over to Naruto, Naruto just ignored the man and placed the book in his pocket...

"that book isn't for little boys Naruto" Naruto shrugged "Naruto..."

"the voice in my head says he likes it... he asked me to keep it for another time, he is the one who called my friends from the other side to come save me"

"Hiruzen backed off "alright then, we don't want to anger your friends" he looked to the other adults "right?" and three nods later, the Hokage, Jariya, and Naruto were all in the office, Naruto held his arm out and summoned a deck of cards to look at, they seemed to be tarot cards

"where the cards come from?"

"my friends on the other side say they never lie... they say I can do with them as I please"

Hiruzen and Jariya were skeptical "if they do not lie, then why not see if you can tell if Jariya lies or not?" Jariya stepped up to him

"well, state a fact"

"not all my books are perverted"

Naruto quickly shuffled the deck, and when Naruto drew the top card, the card was a royal crown

"so what book did you write that wasn't perverted?"

"it was called the giutsy ninja"

Hiruzen decided to state what he found out "so, as long as you shuffle and draw the card, it will tell you when someone is lying?" Naruto nodded "that is great for interrogators, what else can you do with them?"

"i can read your future" Jaiya got a perverted grin

"what about love fortunes?"

"i could"

Hiruzen saw where this was going "no Jariya, you can't take Naruto out of the village"

"when did I say I wanted to?"

"when I realized you wanted to use his new powers to con young women who want to know where to find true love, into posing for your books"

"but what about my research? It would be ten times easier than it is now if I had this kid helping me"

"i don't want to leave anyways, i'm gonna stay here to become a ninja, and prove I can make it in the real world, I hate to be used, and I hate to be told what to do, so I refuse to be used by you"

"then I shall pay you for your services"

both Naruto and Hiruzen asked the same question at the same time "how?"

"by training you young lad, and then I shall bring you back in time for the graduations at the academy, then you can still become a ninja, and under my training, you shall become one of the best, and you shall also be able to learn to use your powers to the fullest. Now, go pack your things, we leave tomarrow"

with a nod, Naruto walked out the door, and walked down the streets, back to the alleyway he was found in, to get his little bag of stuff he had, too bad on the way there, he ran into a little commotion...

===meanwhile===

a Kumo nin was sneaking out of the mansion he was in, although the fact the room smelled like lavenders, and there were stuffed animals in it as well.

Looking at the facts, you could tell that this was not his room... and if you couldn't... please go to a therapist, you may thank me for the idea later... I hope

why would a grown man have stuffed animals?

Anyways... the man also had a bundle on his shoulder

the man ran for the wall

the man jumped over the wall

the man spotted a small boy with a strange stick...

pop quiz: what is the natural action a person would take, when a man is jumping down on you when you have a staff in your hands?

Use your new found powers to extend the staff, and nail whoever is jumping you...

if a man is jumping down, meaning he is upside up, and a staff extends upward, where is the staff gonna hit?

As the man was descending, Naruto panicked, and extended his staff to try and save himself, so as the man was falling from the 15 feet high wall, and Naruto planted his staff firmly on the ground, the staff extended and nailed the man right where the sun don't shine...

And when a man is hit in the groin, his first reaction is to grab himself... dropping whatever, or in this case, whoever, they were holding... following this path, the cargo of the unknown 'rapist' was falling on the little boy, and landed with a thud, knocking said little boy down, and gravity was not so kind to the man on the stick, seeing as how the staff leaned towards the wall, pinning the man there...

===meanwhile once again===

Hiashi Hyuuga was pissed off, as he jumped out of the gateway, only to stop and look carefully at a vaery strange scene...

leaning against the wall, was a staff of about 10 feet, give or take a few inches, a man was pinned to the wall with said staff, due to the staff being partly in the ground... but what truly was gruesome, was the fact that there was blood, dripping from the man, down the wall, obviously from a crushed pelvis... ouch does not cover it...

but on the ground was his little girl, as well as a boy, and the girl was laying on the boy, almost in tears, while the boy seamed scared... and so, when Hiashi looked at the boy, he widened his eyes and got ready to attack, and launched himself at the boy, said boy was getting up, and what none of them saw, was the pissed off look, as well as the painful grunt, the man made when he removed himself from the staff, so as Hiashi moved to attack the boy, the Kumo nin dropped down from his place on the staff, and decided to kill the boy,

'I was gonna be the one to start up the byakugan in Kumo dammit, how can I if I can't make babies?'

Naruto did something reasonably productive... the shadows around Naruto converged and pulled him and the girl into them, and just in time, as Hiashi started to thrust his hand forward, so when the two kids were out of danger's way, the genderless person fell in the pathway of Hiashi's attack, which blew up his heart. And so I don't get asked questions, Hiashi aimed at a standing Naruto's head, and the poor Kumo dude landed in a crouch, so a full standing Naruto, came up to the man's chest, while the man was crouching down... alright, back to the story

Hinata looked at what her father did, and then Naruto spoke

"i feel sorry for that guy"

Hiashi almost nodded, till he remembered, this boy just traveled by shadows

"how did you do that?"

"i have friends on the other side..."

Hiashi glared, what friends? "whatever, come Hinata, let us return to our home, seeing as this boy doesn't seem to be trying to kidnap you as well" Hinata nodded, and she turned to Naruto

"thank you for saving me" and with that, Hinata gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, and ran to her father, blushing like mad

"Do not get into that habit Hinata, you should focus on becoming stronger, unless you wanna give every single boy that saves you a kiss for the rest of your life"

Hinata blushed crimson, and had thoughts of the blonde boy saving her again and again, and every time, she gave him another kiss, and then it developed into a kiss she seen her mother give her father on his birthday... and she blushed a darker shade of red, and she started thinking of a scenario, where he kissed her, because she saved him... and she was about ready to feint until the boy spoke

"well, I need to go get my stuff, goodbye"

Hiashi rose an eyebrow, why would the boy be going to get his stuff, that is until he realized he was standing there for a few good minutes pondering, as the boy was walking the other direction with a bag tied to his now short cane, and the cane resting on his shoulder

"where are you going?" Hinata was curious why her savior was leaving, maybe he was running away, and just happened to be passing by and saved her by accident?

"i actually have nowhere to live here, but some weird porno writer dude is gonna take me away from the village for a bit to train, then i'm coming back for the graduation at the academy, good luck becoming a ninja"

and with that, the boy left

"does he mean Jariya of the sannin?"

Hiashi was curious, and he even felt like asking the Hokage about it tomorrow... maybe...

===and with that, I end the first chapter===

I would ask what you all think, but I just might have the next chapter up before you even have read the first author note, cause I have it fresh in my mind, and I doubt I will be able to sleep
