I do not own Naruto, the elements of One Piece, or any other show, anime or game I send Naruto into okay.
Chapter 1: Return of a Hero.
Naruto let out a low groan of pain as he slowly rose up from the ground.
"Oh man what hit me?" the blonde asked before he remembered what happened.
Pain's attack, the killing of his godfather, his rage, and then…
Naruto immediately shot up and looked around trying to figure out just exactly where he was. The thing was he didn't seem to be anywhere. All he was standing was complete and total darkness. There was absolutely nothing around him. It was like he was standing in the middle of a black hole. Minus all the gravity.
"Hello?" Naruto yelled, "Where is everybody?"
A female voice chuckled and said, "We are right here Naruto-kun."
Naruto spun around to see three people. Three very large people.
The first one was a woman with long black hair and white skin. She wore a kimono with a diamond and star pattern and had a sense of royalty about her.
The second was also a woman with long red hair and a kimono with a skull and fire pattern.
The final one was a man wearing a samurai outfit with pale skin and long white hair. He also held a dagger in one hand.
"Who are you supposed to be?" asked with one hand resting on one of his swords.
The man chuckled and said, "How can you ask such a question? You only saw me about sixteen years ago."
Naruto looked at the man strangely before saying, "Shinigami? Then that must make you Kami and Yami!"
The three nodded. Naruto immediately began to fear for his life. The boy then quickly bowed before the three deities.
"No need to bow Naruto," Yami said, "We are here to ask for your help."
Narut looked at the red haired goddess and asked, "What for?"
Kami answered, "There is a great evil coming. One that threatens not only this world but many others."
The woman waved her hand and the darkness around them began to shift and change. It showed a large vastness with multiple stars in the background. In front of Naruto was large planet covered in dark green clouds. Before Naruto could make his surprise known he noticed a large dark cloud heading for the planet. Upon closer inspection Naruto thought he saw large ships flinging he smoke. The dark cloud hit and covered the planet drenching it in darkness. Naruto heard screaming from the planet and there was a sudden rushing feeling. Naruto saw multiple dark monsters fighting through soldier sand tearing them apart with their own hands or with powerful weapons. Finally after killing their armies the soldiers gathered up the inhabitants before a figure wrapped up in a cloak makes his way forward. The figure took out what looked like a tiny square shaped casket. The man opened the box and a blast of red and black fire shot out and hit the people. More screaming was heard before the sound of tearing flesh. The smoke cleared revealing the residents had been turned into monstrous creatures.
The image faded returning to the original black.
"What was that?" Naruto asked stumbling.
"That was an army of darkness that has been "infecting" and ravaging planets for the past few days," Shinigami said, "unfortunately the heroes of their dimension were corrupted and eventually joined him in the pursuit of power. To make matters worse we fear they may have found a way to travel between dimensions and will further spread this vile plague in an attempt to take over the multiverse."
Naruto was staring wide eyed at the god of death.
Naruto shook his head to clear the cobwebs and said, "Are you saying you brought me here because I'm the only one who may be strong enough to stop this guy?"
The deities all nodded.
"You have proven you cannot be corrupted through all the madness you were put through as a child Naruto," Kami said, "This makes you stronger than most. On top of that you have all you've learned and those powerful new eyes of yours."
Naruto looked confused at them for a second making the three realize he didn't know he had the enhanced Rinnegan. Kami formed a mirror in her hand before holding it up to the boy. Naruto was shocked when he saw his eyes were now with rings and had a silver star in them.
"These are just like Pain's eyes," Naruto said as he looked at his reflection.
"Yes," Yami said, "The were a little creation of my sister called the Rinnegan. When the whole incident with the biju fusing inside that statue happened the stress behind it all allowed you to awaken it. On top of that the Juubi's chakra caused it to mutate. Unfortunately we don't know the full extent of its powers yet."
Naruto looked at the woman before saying, "Wait what about Hinata-chan and the others? Won't I have to-"
Kami interrupted the boy and said, "Relax we're working on a way for them to come to you should they need it."
Naruto looked up at the woman and sighed figuring that he didn't really have a much of a choice. Besides how many times do you get to say you were given a mission by Kami? He had to make sure that he didn't say that because he didn't want people to think he was insane.
"So," Naruto said, "When do I start?"
All three immediately replied, "Immediately."
A portal opened up behind Naruto and the blonde was subsequently pushed in by Kami.
Naruto stumbled on the other side and found himself in the middle of a large monastery.
Naruto turned around and looked at Kami who came through the portal.
"Where are we?" Naruto asked.
Kami answered, "This is where you will be training."
Kami then entered the monastery. Naruto followed her quickly and found himself in the middle of a large chamber where there wer multipel wodden statue in the sides.
What caught Naruto's attention were four figures sitting in what resembled thrones in the back of the monastery.
Three were males one was a woman.
The first man was tall thin and was wearing a mix between ninja wear and samurai armor. The armor was on his chest, shoulders forearms, and shins. The one on his sheens had multiple bandages wrapped around them. He also had long pieces of cloth running off the metal sash around his belt and long silver hair tied in a ponytail that went down past his back. His eyes were even silver. In his left hand he held a long katana that was perfectly made for his height.
The second man wasn't as tall as the first. He had a loose gray sleeve with a blue on the en dof the sleeves. Over that he had ona wide shouldered blue gi with red ropes tied bound around both shoulders. He had a brown leather sash wrapped around his waste with a long gray and red striped sheets coming down and long gray hakama pants with small metal boots. His face was covered in white make up with red going down the side of his mouth and tall hat with long black hair. He had blue eyes that burned with incredible fire. Unlike the others he held no weapon.
The third man was large and muscular with tan skin. He had on a black and gold gi with no sleeves over a red mesh shirt and bandages wrapped around his whole arms, his neck, and his lower legs. On his feet he had on old style socks with old style wooden sandals. He also had large gold balls in the shape of a belt wrapped around his waist. He had no hair on his head and had gold makeup running up his face. His eyes were yellow and portrayed no emotion. In one hand he held a large gold kunai.
The only woman of the group was tall and slightly slender. She wore a green long gi that had a long tail in the back tied by a red sash with a red rope in a bow on the back. She had shoulder tied to her gi with brown rope. Over her arms she had dark green mesh with dark green forearms and light green fingerless gloves. On her feet she only wore bandages around her feet, ankles, and shins. Her hair was done in two hoops on the side and long braid in the middle. Her eyes were green and had a commanding look. She had a large kanabo set on her shoulders.
The four beigns turned to Naruto and Kami. Slowly they all bowed to the deity.
"Welcome Kami-sama," the tall pale man said, "What brings you before the ninja tribunal?"
Kami said, "A great evil has risen. One the tribunal will not be able to fight. I wish for you to train this boy. Help him become strong enough to fight."
The woman walked over to the boy and looked him over Naruto started to sweat as he knew that a woman could be down right dangerous if they were angry.
"He does not look like much," the woman said.
Kami looked down at her and said, "He is much stronger than you thing. Now I'll leave you to your training. Good luck Naruto. You'll need it."
Before Naruto could ask what she meant the goddess was gone.
Naruto turned back to the tribunal and said, "Okay I hop I'm not speaking out of term when I say this but…who exactly are you people?"
The four looked at eachtoher.
The man in make up stepped forward and said, "I am Juto-Shisho ninjutsu master of weapons."
The very thin man stepped forward and said, "I am Kon-Shisho ninjutsu master of spirit."
The woman stepped forward and said, "I am Chikara-Shisho ninjtus master of strength."
The woman then pointed at the large bald man and said, "He is Hisomi-Shisho ninja master of strength."
Naruto raised an eyebrow at the names.
"I see you have questions," Juto said, "We shall explain over dinner. Come."
Naruto followed the strange people. When they told their story Naruto was completely shocked. In this world they were the strongest ninja alive. He was surprised that ninjutsu or the ninja arts were split up into stealth, speed, and power instead of what Naruto had learned. He was even more shocked that chakra was split into physical energy, Ki, and spiritual energy, chi. He looked at them in utter surprise when they told him that they had been alive for thousands of years and they looked barely older than Asuma or any of the other jonin.
When they finished their story Naruto odl his starting with the tale of the Sage of the Six Paths. He explained his life, the fight wit Pain, and all the other powerful warriors he fought and beat. Though the boy was embarrassed when he remembered his loud mouth life when he was weak. Juto looked interested when he mentioned his abilities in the weapons forge.
Juto was especially interested in the way Naruto's ninja world worked.
"So this chakra," Kon said, "is a mix of physical and spiritual energy that courses through all things in your world and can be aligned with a certain element or more than one. There is also elemental chakra that if used too much can turn a person to stone while youki, or demon chakra, can actually kill a person if used too much."
Naruto nodded and said, "Right."
Chikara said, "And these kekkai genkai are mutations caused by youki in very small amounts."
Naruto nodded and said, "Yes. Unfortunately most of them learn to rely on them too much and let their other skills diminish."
Hisomi shook his head at the sound of that.
"So what exactly am I going to be learning under you?" Naruto asked.
"I will be teaching you how to harness great strength far beyond what you have now," Chikara said.
Kon said, "I will be teaching you how to harness your spirit and use it to its fullest as well as summon your avatar."
Juto said, "I will be helping you with powerful weapons and then how to use them to their fullest. Hisomi will teach you how to fully utilize speed and stealth to its fullest potential."
Naruto nodded. He had a feeling these skills were something that he was going to be needing in the near future.
"Now to bed young Naruto," Chikara said, "We will start your training first thing in the morning."
Naruto smiled at the woman and rose up heading to his bed chambers guided by those wood statue things.
The next morning: Trainign with Kon
Naruto stood in front of Kon both of which were sitting in a lotus position. The only difference from yesterday was that Naruto had a gold medallion around his neck and he wasn't wearing his trench coat since it was torn to pieces in his transformation back in Konoha.
Naruto decided that while he trained with the masters he would leave a few dozen shadow clones back at the bed chambers practicing with the six parts that he remembered pain using and a book he found in his pocket, probably left by Kami, entitled "The Idiots Guide to the Rinnegan."
"The spirit," Kon said, "Is only as strong as the will of the warrior. When one focuses his spirit it manifests on the body as special markings. When you gain access to your spirit your body becomes much stronger capable to taking more damage and attacking much more fiercely. The avatar is the animal that represents you. For example, the wolf represents ferocity and speed. Of all the avatars the dragon is the most powerful representing incredible strength and will."
Naruto was listening with rapt attention.
"We shall start with simply summoning your spiritual energy. Reach deep inside yourself and focus."
Naruto placed his hands in a ram sign and closed his eyes. Naruto sat like that for about ten minutes. Kon got up after that time when he thought that Naruto had actually fallen asleep. Finally the boy started to glow a dark color. Pure white gold edged markings shined on the boy's body.
Kon looked shocked as Naruto shined. The glow and markings receded before Naruto opened his eyes.
"That was interesting," Naruto said, "Did it work?"Kon nodded and said, "Very good my student. Now we shall focus on how long you are able hold that energy. Should you lose that focus in the middle of combat the results could be deadly."
Naruto nodded and got right back to focusing.
Noon: training with Chikara.
Chikara and Naruto stood on top of a large mountain staring each other down.
"Strength does not solely rely on the size of ones muscles," Chikara said, "Most people find strength through augmentations and artificial ways. I shall teach you how to harness true strength."
A green glow came over the woman.
"Focus yoru chi and harness its power," Chikara said, "Focus it into one point and upon impact release!"
The woman then proceeded to slam her fist into a boulder smashing it into dust with one blow. Naruto's jaw hit the ground when he saw that.
'Whoa!' the blonde thought, 'Grandma Tsunade has got nothing on this girl. I wonder if she can do that to a mountain?'
Chikara motioned for Naruto to come over to her and pointed at a rock.
"Do what I just did," the girl said.
Naruto focused his chi and felt power flow through him. The boy cocked back an arm and unleashed a brutal right hook that smashed the rock into pieces.
"You are a fast learner Uzumaki-san," Chikara said with a slight smile, "Now try it with these."
She snapped her fingers and foru large golems made entirely out of rock rose up from the ground.
"Crush him!" the woman yelled as the four monsters glared down balefully at Naruto.
'Crud,' Naruto thought.
Afternoon: Training with Juto.
Naruto looked at Juto as they stood with a large chamber.
"As you know Naruto," Juto said, "A weapon is more than just a tool. It is an extension of the body. You know yoru swords though all the time your have worked with them. I shall show you how we came across our weapons."
The man snapped his fingers and a large dragons head rose from the ground that then opened its mouth revealing a large amount of flames.
"That is one of the coolest things I have ever seen," Naruto said with a shocked look on his face.
"This is the Dragon Forge," the master of weapons said, "Those worthy will receive gifts from the flames. The unworthy will be burned by the inferno."
Naruto gulped loudly.
Naruto slowly approached the roaring fire. As soon as Naruto was close enough to the flames they burst forward engulfing Naruto.
Juto gained a shocked look before a grin took his face. When the flames resided it revealed Naruto with three different weapons.
One was a large Chakram that more resembled a fire wheel with large spikes coming off the edges, and looked like it was large enough to cut a fully grown man horizontally in half.
The second was a long black scythe with a jagged silver blade and the kanji for moon on the front of the blade while the back had the kanji for sun with the kanji for earth, water, fire, lightning, and wind going up the shaft.
The third was a large staff. The staff stood about as tall as Naruto was with large spiked iron balls on the ends with a chain connecting the two. (the lunar staff only made of wood and steel from the Ninja Gaiden series).
"Very interesting," the weapons master said, "I have nto yet seen the forge give more than one weapon to someone."
Naruto looked at his new weapons intently. He then asked, "So…are we going to practice with these or not?"
Evening: training with Hisomi
The moon was high in the sky and lit up the deep canyon that Naruto now stood in front of. There was a long rather rickety looking bridge.
Naruto looked around for his teacher, but couldn't find the man anywhere. The boy turned to leave when he ran right into the man making him cry out in shock.
"You know that is a good way to kill somebody!" Naruto yelled as his heart rate went back to normal.
Hisomi said nothing and pointed at the bridge.
Naruto looked at it and asked, "You want me to cross the bridge?"
Naruto turned to face his teacher to find him gone. Naruto spun around and saw Hisomi standing on the other side of the bridge. Naruto blinked before rubbing his eyes to make sure that he wasn't seeing things only for Hisomi to appear in front of him yet again.
Naruto tried to get his heart back under control again and yelled, "Don't do that! What are you trying to do make me have a heart attack?"
Hisomi pointed at the bridge.
Naruto sighed before he made his way to the bridge. Naruto focused his chi and the white and gold markings returned. The blonde then started to make his way across the bridge and slowly started walking knowing that he probably wasn't fast as fast as Hisomi was. About a quarter of the way across the bridge Naruto's focus lapsed and a board on the bridge creaked unrealistically loudly.
A loud roar came from down below and a large serpentine dragon shot up through thick mist that covered the bottom of the canyon.
Naruto cried out and thought he was about to get eaten when Hisomi appeared in front of him and held out a hand to the dragon. The man bowed followed by the dragon bowing its head. The dragon then returned to the canyon below.
"Whoa," Naruto said looking at his silent teacher, "Same time tomorrow?"
Over the next three months Naruto trained with the Ninja Tribunal.
Kon was happy when Naruto quickly grew to where he could hold his spiritual energy for a long time thanks to his incredible chakra reserves. Eventually Naruto learned how to control his spiritual power to where he could actually fire blasts from his hands and eyes. Something that took him quite some time to do. Eventually Naruto also learned how to form his avatar which was a dragon like the other members of the tribunal.
Chikara practically beat her lessons into the young blonde's head. By the time the three months had passed Naruto felt like he was able to physically beat Tsunade in an arm wrestling match. Or at least get in one with her and not wind up with his arm shattered. Despite this Naruto couldn't stand a fist fight with Chikara since she was a hell of a lot stronger than the slug sage.
Juto turned out to be quite the weapons master as he taught him how to fully utilize his new weapons. Naruto also managed to convince the man to teach him some impressive new nitoryu and ittoryu sword moves if he proved intel on the snatoryu pat since, surprisingly, the weapons master had never heard of it.
It took a long time for Naruto to get used to Hisomi's method of training since patience really wasn't the boy's strong point. It took a while, but Naruto finally manage to get across the bridge without pissing off the dragon that slept underneath. After that it was downright speed lessons. For Naruto that was much easier and he was quickly able to run side by side with Hisomi.
While Naruto was training his shadow clones were practicing with their new enhanced rinnegan which Naruto now called the Astral Rinnegan.
While it kept all the powers of the original rinnegan it also had some new powers. One of which was the flames of Agni, an ancient fire god. These flames burned hotter than the Ameratsu used by the Sharingan. They also had the powers of the dojutsu that descended from the Rinnegan being the Byakugan's 360 degree vision with no blind spot and the Sharingan's ability to predict the future. Naruto had a feeling that there were more powers, but he decided to leave that alone for a awhile.
While they were practicing Kami sent a mesenger int eh shape of a hawk who dropped off a summoning scroll for Naruto as well as the Uzumaki clan scrolls that had jutsu that Naruto had yet to learn. It also had a summon scroll for the holly wolves, Ameratsu's clan. Naruto decided to put off on signing it until his training was done.
Finally after three months Kami came back.
"Hello Naruto-kun," the goddess said, "Are you ready to go on?"
Naruto nodded and hefted a bag that had his new weapons in it and had his swords on his waist.
"Before we go," the woman said, "I think it might be good for a change of wardrobe. Most people won't like seeing a boy hefting weapons around in some dimensions."
Naruto thought for a second and understood since some people would probably get nervous when you see a boy carrying swords.
Kami snapped her fingers and a cloud of white smoke covered our blonde hero.
When it cleared everyone got an eyeful of Naruto's new attire.
Naruto now had on a black shirt under a leather jacket that had the Kanji for Six Paths on the back. Naruto's arms had on special gauntlets that had three kanji symbols on each. His pants were replaced with logn cargo pants and a pair of boots. Naruto's smirk didn't fade as he moved his arms around before throwing out a kick like he would if he was fighting. There was also a silver ring with a red crystal in it.
He boy smirked to himself and said, "Thank you Kami-sama."
Naruto tookt eh weapons he had in his bag out and sealed them away in his right gauntlet while the three swords he originally had were sealed into his left one.
"From what I understand there are certain dimensions the army is targeting where there are powerful individuals," Kami said, "Your ring is capable of honing in on the dark energy that they use. Once the force there is extinguished your ring will allow you to go to the next one."
Naruto glanced down at the piece of jewelry and said, "Cool. Wait won't it break?"
Kami shook her head no and said, "The ring is made of a very dense metal. It can take a lot of damage. Oh and you might want to try getting bodies for that six path thing Pain used. It will really come in handy in the future.
Naruto nodded at the goddess and his ring flashed red bore it formed a large portal in front of him.
"Bye guys," Naruto said, "See you around…maybe."
With that Naruto stepped forward and entered the portal. Thus beginning a new chapter in the young blonde's life.
Cut! Okay I decided that since Naruto is going against an alien threat that can tear apart in a matter of seconds he would need all the help he can get. So I decided to let him train with the Ninja Tribunal from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Where will Naruto be going first? What strange beings will he see? Will the multiverse be destroyed by this unknown and vile force? We'll you'll figure it out. Bye.
