Chapter 1: Welcome to Planetos
'Today just keeps getting better and better.' Naruto sarcastically growled in thought as he laid in the water. Bruised and cut up as he's currently fighting against his teammate, possibly former friend and rival: Sasuke Uchiha.
Today started like any other day for Naruto as he slept in his rundown apartment… Well he tried to sleep in would actually be the truth if it weren't for Shikamaru knocking at his door. Naruto didn't know what was going on until his old academy friend dropped the bomb: Sasuke left the village. The Nara was asked by Granny Tsunade to gather a recovery team to drag the Teme's ass back. The blonde accepted the mission, quickly changed and got stocked up with every bit of equipment he had in his possession just in case of anything.
Once leaving his apartment, the two gathered Choji, Kiba and his nin-dog Akamaru, and Neji to complete the team. Naruto hoped both Shino and Lee could've come along, but Shino was on a family assignment out of the village while Lee was still recovering from Granny's operation on his left arm and leg. Despite the little set back, the group was about to head on out and stop Sasuke from leaving the border when Sakura stopped them at the gates.
His female teammate begged him to bring Sasuke back, stating that she tried to stop him last night, but failed in the process. In response, Naruto promised her that he'll bring him back no matter what. And with that the group set out to bring Sasuke back.
It was quite easy with the team to reach those that took Sasuke since Naruto and his friends pushed themselves to the limit to do so. Coming in contact with the Sound Four; the recovery team learned that the Sound Nins' mission was bringing the teme back to Orochimaru to make him strong enough to not only be the Pervy Snake's next vessel, but also strong enough to kill Sasuke's older brother, Itachi, for the murder of his clan. There were no strategies used, rather both groups dropped off one by one as the Sound team kept handing Sasuke's container off to distance themselves.
Naruto didn't know what happened to each of his retrieval teammates as he saw each of them off while he kept pressing forward. He wished that they'll be okay. Just when he was about to finally snag Sasuke's container, some bone guy that was apparently the leader of the Sound 'Four' showed up and snagged him away; making Naruto give chase once again. In an open field, Naruto fought against the arrival and was losing ground until Sasuke broke out of his container… changed for the worse.
Naruto tried to give chase, but the bone guy kept stopping him… until Rock Lee arrived. The Uzumaki was surprised in seeing his friend and wanted to know what happened. In an enthusiastic manner, Lee explained that Tsunade helped speed up the recovery (with his Flames of Youth helping out) and along the way over here saw the others were fine for the most part. As Lee kept the bone guy busy, Naruto went off and renowned his wish for his team to be alright.
Eventually making it to the Valley of the End, the final battle site between Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage and co-founder of Konoha, and Madara Uchiha, former leader of Uchiha clan and co-founder of Konoha. Once there, Naruto was shocked to see Sasuke's curse mark progressed so much before they confronted each other for the fight of their lives. They brawled and gave it their all as they traded punches and kicks, jutsu and techniques and neither one faltered.
As this went on, Sasuke explained further on what he must do before meeting up with Orochimaru. The duck-butt told Naruto that he must gain a greater power and finally avenge his family to kill his older brother in the end. The price for gaining the Mangekyo Sharingan, the ultimate piece of arsenal in his family's arsenal, is to lose something very precious to him. And that is by killing Naruto with his own hands.
Far too long into the fight, Naruto was beaten up like a used training dummy as Sasuke's curse mark gave him so much power. So Naruto subconsciously drew in much of the Kyuubi's power and used it to fight back. But even that wasn't enough after the beat down the blonde laid onto the dark haired asshole. Somehow the Uchiha got the upperhand and defeated Naruto as he is now floating in the Valley's river.
'I need to beat him.' Naruto growled as he struggled getting back up, but couldn't. He felt so weak after using up his reserves. He didn't have enough to unseal his stored weapons and possibly even summon some Toads for help.
"Little runt... You are so... damn... weak!" A dark voice growled out inside of the blonde's head. "Be grateful for letting me do what comes next." The Kyuubi soon filled Naruto's reserves with the fox's own chakra, seeing it wrap around the teenager like a cocoon. "After all... I'd rather see the damn Uchiha finally die by the end of this fight instead of you."
As this went on, Sasuke had his back turned from his fallen friend. Thinking that he has won and was about to depart so he can get to the Snake Sannin much sooner. All of a sudden, the Uchiha stopped in his tracks, sensing something foul and dark from the river. Turning back, he saw his former teammate rise from the water with a reddish orange cloak helping him up.
Without warning, Naruto punched Sasuke across the face. Sending him across the river and slamming against the rockwall hard. The Uchiha held his face in pain as he heard Naruto roar out in pain with the reddish orange chakra slowly burning him. Back onto his feet, Sasuke looked and saw what has become of the Uzumaki.
'He truly does look like a fox now.' Sasuke thought as he inspected his former friend's change. Asides from the odd slitted red eyes and darker whisker marks, the reddish orange chakra formed around the blonde and formed a pair of ears and a singular tail to help add into the vulpine appearance. 'Where the hell is this power coming from?'
Things soon went by so fast as Naruto leapt from his position and slammed against Sasuke before making him feel like a ragdoll. Flinging the Uchiha across the river several times and slashing against the teme with elongated claws. Even attacking with the ethereal chakra appendages to make things seem one sided.
"I'm bringing you back!" Naruto roared out with fury in his eyes. "Even if it's on a fucking stretcher for all I care!"
The beatdown lasted several more minutes until Sasuke felt he had no choice but to tap further into his curse mark, changing his appearance into his 'stage 2' form. With his hair turning greyish blue as it reached towards his lower back, lips turning purple with fangs poking out, and a black star-like tattoo right onto his darkened face. Once things settled after his transformation, Sasuke felt truly incredible, resulting in him madly laughing.
"Such power! It feels so great!" Sasuke yelled out as he darkly smiled at the vulpine blonde. "Now I can't wait to feel a whole lot stronger once I kill you and gain the Mangekyo Sharingan!"
"You won't feel so special once I'm finished with you!"
*Darkly Chuckles* "Then I'd like to see you try Naruto! Since there's no way I can lose now!"
Dashing towards each other with clawed hands aimed against the other, they soon clashed. Naruto seemed to have the upperhand as he shoved Sasuke into one of the stoned feet of the valley. When the dust cleared, the vulpine blonde was surprised to see an odd bat-like wing defending the Uchiha… since it was Sasuke's wing that was formed from his back. Naruto realized too late as he was knocked back dozens of feet away by Sasuke's new appendage before another grew out of his back.
'This is taking too long. I need to finish this.' Was the Uchiha's thoughts as he felt his reserves quickly burning out all of a sudden. 'After all, this is too new and I don't have proper restraint just yet.'
With Naruto, he got up from his position from the valley wall and soon felt his left arm pretty numb. He tried to move it with his right hand, but flinched on the pain. 'I probably sprained or broke it in that last hit. *Growl* Come on you stupid fox, help me and fix this!'
"That power of yours!" Naruto snapped out of his thoughts and eyed Sasuke across the way. "By using it, you're taking a big risk… Aren't you?!" No response was given so the Uchiha decided to speak more. "You know, I find this setting quite fitting as the name applies: The Valley of the End! For we shall end things here and now between us! And only one of us will leave here alive!"
Quickly forming hand seals, Sasuke poured so much of his chakra into this last attack that he's sure that he'll kill Naruto and finally gain the power that is rightfully his. Once that was done, he grasped his left hand as the attack came forth and covered most of his upper arm with the blue turned greyish black electricity. All due to the vial curse mark he was using. He looked towards his opponent as he readied himself for what's to come with the sound of a thousand birds crying out all at once.
As for Naruto, he felt the fox fully heal his left arm with the bones snapping back into place and the stinging sensation soon after. Holding out his right hand, Naruto concentrated and formed his signature technique. Though as he eyed it, while pouring what reserves he has from both his regular chakra and the fox's, it changed from a bright blue to a purplish black sphere of chakra.
Neither of these changes confused either combatant as they waited for the right time to strike. Both stared each other down as they were so focused that everything else seemed to drown out. Even the roaring waterfall right beside them was drowned out as Sasuke stood on Madara's stony foot and Naruto on Hashirama's.
With an unspoken word, an unannounced call rang inside of them, causing the two to leap at each other in the air. Their respective attacks were reared back so at the very last moment they bring forth their powered hands to hopefully land their desired hit. Both roared with fury as they drew closer and closer until they came so close at the very center of the valley.
"CHIDORI!"/"RASENGAN!"
The two powers clashed and everything seemed to go white for a brief moment until a kaleidoscope of colors emanate from the combined contact. Their chakras seemed to merge, creating a large sphere of dark purple chakra until it went completely black as the far reaches of space itself. Everything seemed to warp inside of the blackened sphere as the two teenagers kept up with their attack, pumping more and more power into it to gain dominance over the other.
"NARUTO!"/"SASUKE!"
With one final push, Sasuke was able to pierce Naruto's chest and seemingly grazed his heart. He smiled at this before he gasped out in pain as Naruto's clawed hand slashed at the Uchiha's neck, pouring out so much blood that it sprayed against the blonde's face and much entered his throat. Not wanting to lose and to let Orochimaru gaining Sasuke's eyes; Naruto swung his left arm and slashed at the Sharingan eyes, causing them to burst.
As this occurred, an explosion of pure power detonated from within the sphere; sending Sasuke out and impaled against an extremely sharp piece of earth. A result from the confrontation earlier. The 'last' Uchiha gasped out in absolute pain as he was now dying with his goal forever gone. With one last struggled breath, Sasuke cursed Naruto for what he's done before he left this plane of existence as his body turned back to normal.
Back inside of the sphere, things started to twist and turn as Naruto screamed out in pain with energies pulling him practically everywhere yet nowhere all at once. He didn't know what was happening to him, but he felt every fiber of his being burn red hot like Tenten's weapon furnace… no it was much worse than that. There was only one thing that came across his mind as everything in his vision went dark.
'I'm sorry Sakura… I broke my promise… but at least Sasuke won't be in that pervy snake's clutches… I just hope you can forgive me on that.' He thought as everything around him seemed to collapse.
Back on the outside of the sphere, the blackened anomaly exploded in a shock wave before it started to inwardly swirl like it was eating itself. Wasn't long until no sign of it remained with it fully disappearing. Not long after this occurred, Kakashi Hatake and his nin-dog summon Pakkun arrived onto the scene with rain now starting to pour.
"Damn… What in Kami's name happened here?" The leader of Team 7 muttered as he inspected the damage of the historical site. As he inspected things, his uncovered eye soon landed upon the 'last' Uchiha's corpse and ran up to it. "Did Naruto do this?" He wondered as he carefully pulled the body out of the sharp rock.
Once freed, he laid the body onto the ground before doing a proper inspection. He saw the varying cuts and bruises before seeing the destroyed eyes and slashed throat. With a saddened look, Kakashi pulled out a storage scroll and sealed Sasuke's body inside for better transport back to Konoha.
"I'm sorry Obito. It seems I've failed you once again." The grey haired shinobi said into nothing before looking at Pakkun. "Can you possibly find where Naruto went to?"
"I don't know Kakashi." Said the nin-dog summon as he kept sniffing for a trail. "Things seem fresh, but the rain is going to make things hard now. Though my best guess is that he's floating down the river as we speak."
"Then let's find him and bring him home… He… He did a lot and I'll do everything I can to defend him from the council for what happened."
"True and best bet the others will defend him, given what happened as a last resort." Kakashi nodded as he and Pakkun left the valley. Silently hoping Sakura would forgive Naruto the most, despite the pink haired kunoichi's supposed love for the 'last' Uchiha.
If the two stayed behind a little longer, or at least looked back, they would've seen a man appear from a swirl of space/time. Slowly revealing himself to be an orange masked man with a red cloud pattern printed on the black cloak. If one were to look into the eye socket of the swirl mask, they'd see a blazing Sharingan eye as it scanned the area.
*Sigh* "Well things got fucked up now, didn't it Zetsu?"
Being called out by this, an odd plant-like being seemed to grow out of the ground with a venus fly trap covering the being's head. Once out far enough, the covering opened up to reveal a white/black face with green hair. And like the shirl masked man, the being wore a similar cloak.
"Indeed it has Obito. And now the rails to our plans have been derailed." Zetsu commented towards his partner. "So what are we going to do now?"
"Without the Kyuubi Jinchuriki, it'll be much harder to complete the Moon's Eye Plan to reform the Juubi."
"We might wait for possibly a decade for the Kyuubi to reform if Naruto Uzumaki died. Or we might have to go for Plan B."
Obito rubbed the sides of his head in slight frustration, knowing that things might take too long if they go with the former idea. "We'll have to go for the later once the time comes. Nabbing the corpses of the Gold/Silver Brothers and Minato Namikaze will have to happen so we can extract the Kyuubi's chakra. Even having to take that one kid from the Fire Temple since he's currently alive as a pseudo-Kyuubi Jinchuuriki."
Nodding in understanding, Zetsu sunk back into the earth before stopping. "What are we gonna do about Itachi? With his little brother now dead will make him go a bit… off."
"Yeah… That'll complicate things." Obito said as he walked away and slowly went away via space/time jutsu. "We'll deal with him when the time comes. For now keep doing your duties."
With Obito gone, Zetsu let out a sigh as he left to do his thing before thinking one last thing as he gazed at the barely visible moon in the sky. "Soon mother, you'll return soon. I swear it."
-Unknown Location-
*DONG*
*Groan* "Kami… My head…" Naruto moaned out as he slowly grasped his head. It throbbed in pain from the exhaustion from his fight against Sasuke, if his memory served him right, to the odd bell ringing loudly in his ears.
*DONG*
The blonde genin moved, feeling branches snapping and the rough rocks underneath him, as he tried to get back up. Much of his energy was gone, though it'll return once fully rested, but Naruto willed himself to stand. Several moments passed as he steadied himself up by using a tree for leverage.
*DONG*
"Where the hell am I?" He gazed at his surroundings and saw a small dirt path alongside a broken creek. The blonde teenager hobbled close to the water so he could check if it was possibly usable. With his roughed out voice, he realized he was quite thirsty and needed to properly check for any injuries that he couldn't see.
*DONG*
*Sigh* "Well this feels slightly good." He muttered to himself as he splashed himself in the face and used a clean part of his jumpsuit sleeve to wipe off the grime. Once that was done, he checked the water and realized, after checking his surroundings a bit more, that he was in some sort of a deep crevice. Naruto knew he wasn't going to do any 'reflective checking' at this time, until he could find a brighter area to do so.
Before going any further, Naruto checked his weapons pack to see how much he had left in his arsenal and inventory.
"Okay… So I've got my all of my storage scrolls intact, so that's good. A handful of smoke bombs, ration and food pills, my notebook, Gama-Chan and my ID with me… but no money. *Sigh* Shouldn't have emptied my wallet before leaving… Then there's my 'Gutsy Ninja' book… and Pervy Sage's copies of Icha Icha." With the last one, he groaned out as he realized Jiraiya must've slipped in that trilogy set without him looking the other day. "Eh~ I could maybe sell it to someone for some coin."
"Hmm…. About…. Several dozen kunai, senbon and shuriken each, a good dozen or so of exploding tags and several dozen feet of wire. So that mean's I'll need to either buy more or have to make some once I'm home." He listed off before looking around once more as a dark vibe radiated in the air. "I'll need to use those sparingly, but for now…"
After popping in a food pill to refill some of his reserves, Naruto pulled out one particular scroll that was labeled 'weapons' and unfurled it a little bit to reveal his first weapon in his little collection. Biting his finger a little, to draw out some blood, he smeared it slightly with a resulting *poof* to reveal his first earned sword: the Kubikiribocho. Naruto smiled a little when seeing this as he lifted it up slightly so he can put away the scroll before hoisting it up onto his shoulder.
When Team 7 were heading back to Konoha that morning, Naruto got up extra early so he could head over to Zabuza and Haku's grave markers. He did this to pay his respects, especially since he didn't know when he'd return to do this again. Before leaving, Naruto heard a faint whisper in his ear… literally sending a chill down his spine. It was very familiar to him as he heard it once again as it seemed a little louder. He didn't know if it was real or not, but he definitely heard Zabuza, the Demon of Kirigakure, telling the blonde to take his sword.
Not wanting to be rude, Naruto took it with little hesitation… and a bit of effort with how bloody heavy it was before sealing it in a spare storage scroll. After that day, the blonde did what he could to practice with the Kiri sword as it was great weight training, but kept it a secret from the rest of his team and the rest of his village. He would've yelled out in glee that he got such a badass, legendary weapon… but that would've disrespected their memories if he did.
Though why he never used it on previous missions and in the Chunin Exams, he'd never know… Possibly felt that he wasn't ready to use it quite yet. Yeah that was probably it.
"I wonder how they're doing now in the pure lands above." Naruto spoke out as he looked up the thick, cloudy sky. *Sigh* "Welp… Time to get moving."
At a steady pace, as he was in no rush, Naruto went about to find higher ground so he could try and navigate his way back home. Though as minutes passed, he felt creeped out in seeing varying grave markers lying about. Made him wonder if he woke up in a rundown cemetery while questioning himself on how he got there to begin with.
All thoughts halted as the blonde saw a cloaked man coming into view. Being a bit precarious, Naruto slowly went up to the man and called out to him. "Umm… Excuse me!"
Hearing the boy's voice, the cloaked man wiped his head around to reveal his stony face. The man loudly hissed as he lunged towards the blonde genin. Alarmed at this point, Naruto dodged as the man tried to get closer, but a well placed kick knocked the man away. The blonde's instincts yelled out to strike the man down and he did. Swinging the decapitating knife, he knocked the man down with a deep gash into his arm.
"The hell are you?" The shinobi asked as the man stood back up and tried to get in close, but failed as Naruto swung once more and this time sliced the man's head right off. As the body tumbled onto the ground, the teenager checked the man to see a peculiar site. What was stony skin was quite right as it appeared to be scales(?) covering his entire being. "How did this happen?"
Footsteps were soon heard, causing Naruto to look towards the side seeing several other stone men coming his way. Seeing their companion dead on the ground, they hissed at the newcomer and pulled out some weapons: knives/daggers and crossbows. The blade wielders ran towards Naruto while the crossbow wielders took aim. Not wanting to be harmed, Naruto took a swinging at the blade wielders to take care of them before picking up a pair of daggers and threw them at the crossbow wielders.
With them now dead, Naruto checked on their corpses to see if there was anything of value for him. Unfortunately, all that he got out of this little moment were some knives/daggers, a crossbow and a handful of arrows. Not wanting to waste some valuable resources, he took them with him before moving onwards.
-Elsewhere-
"What a day. What a day." A man muttered as he walked through the foliage. He appeared to be in his mid-late thirties with darkened short hair to compliment his Dornish features. From the olive skin tone with a thin beard that fitted along his jawline and around his mouth. He was currently wearing a leather tunic with matching boots and a dark yellow material around his arms and legs. The only thing he properly had on him was his trusty spear at the ready for anything unusual. "Everything was all fine and dandy until that freaky storm came out of nowhere."
He and his shipmates were passing by this place on their way to Meereen, as it was the quickest way by boat. It was mostly clear skies, despite the smoky sky Valyria offered to anyone coming close to its borders, when all of a sudden a freak storm came out of nowhere. Everyone had heard stories about the place with it's historic downfall, with volcanoes destroying the surrounding areas and reshaping it at least 400 years ago. But they never expected this to happen at all.
When the man traveled around Essos for five years as he was a teenager, he avoided this place out of worry. He was brave enough, but was precarious due to what rumors he kept hearing about Valyria since it's downfall. Of monsters and demons rising from the ashes of the once great city of the world.
Hell he wasn't going to step foot onto this place even after the storm settled, but an odd occurrence appeared like the gods took a star and threw it down from the heavens. Almost everyone saw what happened and thought they would've heard a loud bang once it fell… but they heard nothing. Nothing at all. Only seeing a quick flash of light coming from the stormy clouds to hit straight into the middle of the island.
The Dornishman's curiosity soon took hold of him and he wanted to check things out for himself. His paramour pleaded for him to not go, but he told her that he'd be fine and come back to her. So after a soul searing kiss, the man from Dorne took a small boat and rowed himself to shore while his crew went to fix up the ship from the storm earlier.
Along the way towards his little goal, he came across several stone men and dealt with them accordingly. It saddened him slightly on doing this, but these men were infected with Gray Scale and it would've been better to kill them off than for them and others to suffer this fate. Though it came to one point he possibly found where the 'star' landed, but it appeared to have moved.
Picking up the trail, the viper was going to catch his prey sooner or later.
-Back with Naruto-
"Where the hell do these guys keep coming from?!"
Naruto kept swinging his Kiri sword several times as he took care of the little horde of stone men. He was finally able to get to higher ground, which soon overlooked the ocean on one side and a large mountain range on the other. The blonde admitted it was quite the site to behold as he gazed at the odd ruins that seemed to blend with the mountains. Of course it seemed to piss him off that he possibly ended up on a deserted island of all places.
While passing through additional ruins, he kept coming across these men and kept taking care of them. It seemed to be no end of them. At least he kept getting more and more stuff because of it. And with the daggers and knives he kept getting, he could either melt them down to resupply himself on ammo or sell them once finding civilization.
Getting tired from using his sword, he sealed it back up into the scroll before pulling out a pair of daggers he pilfered earlier. They weren't all that great appearance wise, but his eyes could tell they can work quite well until they needed to be sharpened later on. Moving forward, Naruto caught site of some stone men guarding something down a certain pathway. He tried to get their attention, but no avail as they seemed ignorant of him.
"Come on… Get over here assholes." Naruto muttered as he tried, yet failed, to get those men to move from their spots. "Okay… If you wanna to be bitches and guard things, I can definitely deal with you."
Pouring chakra into his feet, he walked up the stone wall to get high enough for a dive bomb attack. Positioning himself correctly, he stopped the chakra flow to fall from up high with daggers on hand. In swift motions, he slammed the blades into the men's skulls before kicking the third man away. Pulling the blades back out, Naruto dashed towards the final stone man and punched the man in the gut before kicking him off of the cliff and into the waters below.
"Now let's see what you guys were guarding."
Stepping over the dead bodies, Naruto soon reached what the men were guarding: a rotting looking chest. Stabbing a dagger into the lock, it easily broke to let the shinobi be able to open the lid to reveal…. "Holy Shit! GOLD COINS! YATTA!"
The blonde never seen so much gold in his life as he had the widest grin on his face. "Man oh man, I can't wait to cash this in! Oh I can only imagine how much Ichiraku ramen this'll get me and I can finally move out of that stinking apartment!"
Pulling out a storage scroll, he opened it up and carefully drew a seal that'll store the rotten chest. Though he needed to summon a clone to help lift it up so it can be placed on the drying seal. But while he waited, he checked the coins… and saw that he didn't recognize the markings.
"Must be some foreign currency… or something really old." He muttered as he inspected some of them. "Though what's up with dragons being the main design." Wanting to deal with this later, he and his clone placed the chest onto the seal marker and got things taken care of before moving forward.
After going around some corners, Naruto came across a ruined archway that seemed mostly intact. Though once he gazed through the opening, he saw a peculiar site several dozen feet away from him. The genin went down the stoney steps with curiosity filling his very being. He wanted to see what the oddity was.
Once coming close enough, he saw it seemed to be an odd metallic statue with ordinated cloth around it's waist, appearing to be kneeling a good dozen feet from a large pair of doors. Naruto guessed that it was 9 or so feet tall if it would've stood upward. Near it laid a giant halberd with an extremely long pole that could've been the same length as the statue if it stood. But an odd feature of the statue was the sword sticking out of it's chest.
His curiosity soon got the best of him as his hand was being pulled by an unseen force, making the blonde reached out towards the weapon. Naruto didn't know why he was doing it. Even as the Kyuubi's voice soon yelled out into his head.
"Don't touch it!"
But it was too late as the moment his fingers grazed against the pommel, the weapon turned to ash.
"The hell?" He asked as he soon felt the air filling up with malice. His eyes soon landed upon the statue as it started to rumble and metallic creaking soon followed. Without warning, it's right arm shot towards the halberd and grasped it before the other arm shot out, causing Naruto to fly into the air before skidding on the wet ground.
-Insert Dark Souls 3 OST: Iudex Gundyr-
"Dammit that hurt!" Naruto growled out as he looked towards the statue. It quickly rose up before pulling it's weapon out of the ground as it slowly made it's way towards him. Feeling quite worried now, he pulled out his 'weapons' scroll and unsealed his butcher sword back out for this one.
Seeing it's opponent now armed, it stalked forward until it swung it's weapon to cover a vast range. Having no time to dodge, Naruto brought his sword up to block the swing, but it was too strong of a blow. He tried to hold his ground, but the following swing sent him flying to the side. Not wanting to fall off the edge of the cliff, Naruto slammed the blade into the ground to keep himself on the battlefield.
"Kami… I need to bloody move away from that guy."
Getting back onto the ground, Naruto quickly pulled the sword out and started to run with the statue following not far behind. It kept slamming the halberd down too fast for comfort, making the blonde fall onto the ground several times. When it tried to get in close, the genin rolled out of the way to avoid being chopped by it's blade.
Feeling annoyed by this now, Naruto ran in close and started slashing the statue several times, but it didn't do much when it the Kubikiribocho blade bounced off of it's armor. It did slash through the opening around it's waist, showing that it's possibly it's weak spot. Naruto attempted one more strike, but he was backhanded away from the armored golem.
"GAH!" Naruto yelled out as he soon impacted the nearby wall. Falling to the ground, he saw the statue coming closer with it's ax held high. "Well crap… Seems you'll be finishing off what Sasuke teme couldn't."
Just when the halberd was about to come down, someone yelled out and gained the statue's attention as a spear sailed through the air and pierced the golem's neck. Turning towards the source, both Naruto and the statue saw a man in a leather tunic with a shield in one hand and another spear in the other. The man hotly glared at the giant before he ran towards it, leaped and struck the being in the opening in its arm.
"RRRRAAAAAAAWWWW!" The golem bellowed out as it's available arm pulled out the spear in its 'injured' arm and tossed it to the side before trying to pull out the one in it's neck.
Coming up to Naruto's side, the Dornish man went to see if the blonde was alright. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah I am and thanks for the little save."
"What the hell are you doing here boy?!" He questioned as he gazed to the side as the golem tried to pull out the second spear the Dorne man acquired earlier, with the shield from one of the stone men. "This place is not meant for the likes of you!"
"Well sorry if I so happened to show up here without knowing how I got here in the first place!"
"Excuse me?!"
Naruto was about to respond when his eyes widened and pushed the man out of the way as the halberd came crashing down onto the ground. The two rolled in their respective directions before coming to a stop. As the Dornish man got back up to defend himself and hopefully save the boy, the armored golem was already close by.
"Damn… And here I thought the Mountain was taller, but you take the fucking cake." The man muttered as the moving statue literally towered over him. He was ready to take the strike with his shield firmly held when explosions impacted the golem, making it turn around towards the source.
"Get away from him asshole!" Naruto yelled out as he formed a handsign and summoned several clones beside him.
"By the Seven…" The spear/shield wielder muttered in surprise as he saw the copies appear from smoke before leaping at the golem. Striking it with daggers on hand as each copy tried to pierce its armor to no avail. It swung several times, causing them to seemingly die as they literally went up in smoke.
"Hey ugly!" The real Naruto called out as he held up his large sword with both hands with a cheeky smirk. "Think you can catch me?!"
Taking the bait, the golem jumped into the air as it tried to crush the blonde. But he dashed out of the way as he pumped his legs with a lot of chakra. It kept on swinging, but Naruto dodged every time.
"Oh calm down ugly!" Naruto taunted before dodging yet another strike. "Oh look at you and your big swings! Yet you can't hit me at all!"
The Dorne man could only watch in slight awe as the boy was quickly moving away from the larger being as he performed odd acrobatic moves each time. The boy even got on top of the golem's weapon before delivering a chakra empowered kick across the head. With it detracted slightly, the blonde slashed at what openings it had. Hell, the man could only wonder how the boy was holding such a big bladed weapon that even he would have a hard time wielding.
Though not wanting to be left out, the Dornishman looked towards the side to see his spear. Running towards it, he grasped it and ran at the golem as he delivered quick strikes against the openings. Both man and teen worked in tandem to try and take down the golem until it soon bellowed out an unholy sound.
"RRRRAAAAAAAWWWW!"
The two humans got away and gained a surprised, yet worried look on their faces as something seemed to burst out of the golem's left arm and helmet. Sending both armor pieces away as gallons upon gallons of black substance leaked out and formed something from possibly one's nightmares. Part of the substance attached itself against a nearby tree and pulled it out of it's roots before it formed into a claw-like appendage to replace its lost limb. By the time it finished leaking, the two saw what appeared to be an inky snake with glowing blood red eyes.
"Oh hell no!" The shinobi yelled out. "Not another giant snake! Why do I have to deal with those almost every damn time!"
Not wanting to comment on that, the Dorne man quickly moved out of the way from the monster's gaping jaw as it tried to take a bit out of him. With the unsuccessful attack, the ink monster swung its mighty tail around, causing Naruto to block it with his sword before having to jump out of the way from the tree claw coming his way. With no time for evasive maneuvers, Naruto swung his blade hard, impacting against the hardened trunk and branches to at least hold it off.
The spear/shield wielder went towards the monster's side and started to slash and bash with his weapons. Little could be done in terms of damage now as the inky monster seemed to regenerate at a fast pace. Before anything else could be done, the monster bellowed out a roar once again in pain as it was shot across the battlefield, courtesy of Naruto's Rasengan.
"At least that gives us a little bit of space." Naruto muttered before looking at the man fighting alongside him. "So are you doing alright on your part?"
*Grunt* "I think so." The man said as he tried to think of a way to defeat this monstrosity before looking back at the blonde boy. "Though I've got to ask. How in the seven hells are you doing all of that?"
Looking at him oddly, while hearing the monster roar in the background, Naruto soon gave him a cheeky smirk. All the while as the blonde pulled out several knives with exploding tags attached. "With chakra, that's what."
Seeing the monster run closer, Naruto poured chakra into the tags to ignite them before throwing the knives at the beast. Once impacting it's face, they detonated, causing it to bellow out a painful cry. With it distracted a little more, the genin summoned more clones before they leaped at the beast.
"I don't know about this chakra you're speaking about boy, but can you order your… copies… to get that halberd out if it's grasp? I might have an idea on how to finish it off… and I'd like to skewer the beast with it's own weapon." The man said, getting Naruto to nod in response before yelling out the order.
Nodding in tandem, the clones continued their assault with chakra empowered physical blows to knock the beast around. Naruto ran with his sword coated with chakra while the Dornish man soon followed. The blonde slid in close and upwardly slashed at the small opening in the arm to get the armored arm free from the beast.
Dropping his wooden spear and shield, the Dornish man rushed towards the falling weapon and grasped it in both hands before swinging with all his might to injure the beast several times. It roared in pain as the cuts went deep on its face before Naruto leaped into the air and swung his sword down in a decapitating motion. The attack landed it's mark, but the blade was stuck at the monster's neck.
"Keep hitting him!" Naruto ordered the now halberd wielder as he nodded with a grunt. The man kept slashing at the beast and saw the attacks were now working. With this going on, Naruto held out his hand and formed a Rasengan before slamming it down onto the blade. Upon impact, the blade started to move deeper and deeper as cracks appeared on the blade. Both humans exerted in this last moment as Naruto pushed his Rasengan deeper while the halberd went up through the mouth to finally kill the beast.
"RRRRAAAAWWWww…."
With it's final roar, the monster's form seemed to fall apart before the inky substance burned away. Naruto landed on the ground, with his heavily cracked sword, next to the tired man as he dropped the metallic halberd. With a resulting *CLANG*, the two men saw the rest of the armor fall onto the ground with all of its pieces still intact.
"Man… That was one hell of a fight." Naruto chuckled in mild bemusement as the man responded in a similar fashion.
"That it was boy. That it has." He said as he felt somewhat relieved after defeating the monstrosity. Throughout the fight, the man kept replacing the beast with the man who killed his sister and her children. Not a good replacement, but with how big the monster was, it was hard not to visualize it being someone else. "Though I didn't expect to actually encounter an Old Valyrian demon today."
"...A what now?"
"You don't know what that was boy? From the old tales that depict on what possibly remains here?"
"No…. I"m pretty lost on what your talking about."
The man could only sigh a little on this. The boy could either be playing around, be very ignorant, or be telling the truth. But the later could be very unlikely. "How about we make some introductions, boy. After all, we did fight that ferocious beast together."
"Yeah, that would make sense." The blonde muttered before holding out his hand towards the man. "Name's Naruto Uzumaki, future Hokage of Konohagakure."
The man only blinked on the little title there since he has no idea where this Konohagakure is at all. He'll probably get some information from the blonde when the time's right. But for now, he doesn't want to be rude at the present moment as he grasped the boy's hand and shook it. "And my name is Oberyn Martell of House Martell and Prince of Dorne."

AN:
Here's the thing on why I'm writing this story, the idea just wouldn't leave my head!
Ever since season 7 of Game of Thrones started, this story idea has been plaguing my head for a while as I'm writing my 'A Nobody' story. There are a good number of stories pertaining to the show and they are pretty good on what's being done. So I thought I could maybe get into this story as well.
Hopefully I can do well and feel comfortable writing more on this before hitting the start of canon. And just to clear things up, this story will mainly focus on Essos when canon hits before Dany and her army heads towards Westeros… Even though I plan for Naruto to hit Westeros before canon because of a little thought I had to make things interesting.
And for now, I'm going to be taking a break from 'A Nobody' to give my head a rest on that story. Been pushing myself a bit too much on that for a while now.
Anyways, be sure to review this story guys! Would like the criticisms. Please and thank you!
