World Hoppers

Chapter 1 – The Avatar World (Part 1)

I own Yoru, and NOTHING ELSE. But my imaginary lawyers are doing their best!

THERE WILL BE NO PERMANENT PAIRINGS! THERE MIGHT BE ROMANCE, BUT IT WON'T LAST BECAUSE NARUTO AND HIS TRAVELING COMPANION WILL HAVE TO LEAVE AT THE END OF THE ADVENTURE! This has been a public service announcement.

POLL AT BOTTOM! I know! A poll, already? But you'll see what it's about. See ya there!

(Valley of the End)

Two sixteen year-old boys stood on opposite sides of an all too familiar gorge.

"Sasuke!" a Kyuubi enhanced Naruto roared, a blood red Rasengan swirling in his palm.

"Naruto!" the deformed Sasuke screamed, a violet chidori crackling in his hand.

Their attacks met, and the combined demonic powers ripped a hole in space-time. The destructive orbs of power slid off of each other, Naruto's heading for Sasuke's hitae-ate, and Sasuke's making a beeline to Naruto's heart. Each jutsu hit its mark, closing the hole. A beaten Sasuke fell from the air, his energy spent.

Several minutes later, a white-haired jounin from Konohagakure no Sato appeared. The jounin, Hatake Kakashi, surveyed the landscape. Finding no trace of his blonde student, he sighed and retrieved the Uchiha. 'Tsunade-sama's not gonna like this…' he thought.

(Meanwhile)

"Fuck. Sigh Well, might as well make some changes while I heal his ungrateful ass. Hehehe…" (A while later) "Done! Wait, what the fuck?!"

A robotic voice droned, "Changes to the host body have been sensed. Conclusion: Prisoner is attempting to manipulate the host. Responding action: Prisoner will be stripped of chakra and memories, then disposed of."

"What?! NO!! Fuck!! Shit!! What do I do?! WhatdoIdowhatdoIdowhatdoIdoAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHH!!" The Kyuubi screamed as he felt his power and memory disappear.

(Several hours later)

"Ugh… What hap- …Where am I?! What's with all the doors?! Why is my voice lower?! Where's Sasuke-teme?! Am I dead?!" he screamed, noticing that he was no longer in the Valley of the End, but in a long hallway lined with doors and that certain aspects about him had changed.

There was the occasional mirror, and he rushed to it. Everything about him seemed to be different. His hair, once bright blonde, was now a deep orange that was very similar to the color of the Kyuubi's fur. His eyes were extremely surprising. There were five rings around his pupil, each a different color. The outside one was white, and they gradually darkened to his black pupil. The eyes of Pein. The eyes of the Rin'negan.

His clothes had changed from his horrid orange jumpsuit to a crimson kung fu suit that was torn off at the right shoulder. An image of the Kyuubi was depicted on the back, it's tails spiraling towards the left shoulder where they met and formed the left arm. His right arm was the biggest shock. It was the arm of the Kyuubi. "WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO MY FUCKING ARM?!" he screamed.

Feeling a presence behind him, the modified gennin spun around to confront the would-be adversary. It was a boy around his age, with white shoulder length hair, piercing white eyes with what appeared to be a musical note for a pupil, a long black coat, dark grey shirt, black slacks, white fingerless gloves and steel-toed boots. "Tell me who you are!" Naruto demanded. A piece of paper appeared in the young man's hands and he began to write. "Hey! I'm talkin' to you!" the once blonde boy shouted.

The mysterious person handed the paper to Naruto. It read, 'I am Yoru. I cannot talk, so I'll communicate with you via writing.' Naruto was about to write something when Yoru snatched it out of his hands, wrote again, and handed it back. 'I'm not deaf, asshole.' Was added.

"Oh. Okay. I'm Naruto! And uh… Where are we?" Yoru shrugged. "Thanks. That was helpful. By the way… what's up with your eyes?"

'What's up with yours?' Yoru retorted in writing.

"…Fine. Apparently I have the Rin'negan, an extremely powerful doujutsu that nobody knows anything about. All we know is that it lets you have six bodies that are controlled by your mind, each body can have a summon and that summon will have the Rin'negan, and it gives you an affinity for all elements."

'So you're a Namikaze.' Naruto looked confused. 'Only the Namikaze have the Rin'negan. My eyes are known as the Otogan, because they let me see sound waves. Unfortunately, this is a two-part kekkei genkai. The other half makes it so that almost any sound that I make is turned into a destructive force. What kind depends on the words and notes, and with what force is determined by the volume and octave. High and loud makes a slicing force, low and loud makes an explosion, which is why I can't talk. Now, what's with your arm?' Naruto reluctantly explained about the Kyuubi, feeling that he could trust Yoru. 'Oh. That sucks. Well, you should probably wrap that up so that nobody sees it. It's kinda scary, and people might get the wrong idea.'

They continued on like this, one asking a question and the other answering, and vice-versa. Occasionally Yoru would have to summon a new piece of paper, but gradually, the two began to get to know each other. "…Wait a minute. Before, you said that the damage you do is based on the volume! Why don't you just whisper?"

'I never learned how to talk. I only know how to sing, and people made fun of me because of it. I was the prodigy of my clan, which was, according to you, over one thousand years ago. Anyway, since I was a prodigy from a young age, my parents only taught me how to sing and play instruments. They insisted that I didn't need to know how to talk normally. It must not seem like much to you, with the whole demon situation. Wait, isn't that the symbol for your village?' Yoru pointed to a sign on the door behind Naruto. It had the symbols for Konoha, Suna, Iwa, Kumo and Kiri on it.

"Hey, it is! Wait… does that mean… that these doors lead to different worlds?!" the former Jinchuuriki shouted. Yoru looked surprised, and they tried the doorknob. It was locked. "Huh… maybe you have to wait a certain amount of time before you can go to any world again… Let's try another door! …How about this one? It's got a swirly, a moon with a swirly, some fire, and a circle in a box on it!" Yoru shrugged, indicating that he didn't care. "Then it's settled! Let's go!" he shouted, throwing open the door to reveal a small village covered in snow. They walked outside, and the door shut behind them. The duo turned, but the door they had come through was gone. "FUCK! How am I going to get back to Konoha now?!"

Yoru handed him a paper that read 'I've heard about these things. You go somewhere through a magical door, the door closes then vanishes, and you can't get back. There must be someone around here with a planet-saving quest. We help them and once the quest is successful, we'll be able to go back.'

"…Okay, I'll trust you on that one." He turned to the staring villagers. "Hi! Is there anyone around here with a quest to save the world?" he shouted.

A young girl, around fifteen, pushed her way through the crowd. She dressed in blue and her dark brown hair was braided. "Who are you?! Are you from the Fire Nation?! Tell me!" she demanded, going into a strange stance.

"Well… where I come fro-" he was cut off by a hand over his mouth. The white-haired young man handed her a piece of paper.

It read 'We're not from the Fire Nation. We're from another world, and we can't get back unless we help someone save this world. Please excuse my friend, he's an idiot.'

"Do you have proof that you're not from the Fire Nation? And say something this time!"

He grabbed the paper back and wrote some more before handing it back.

'First, I can't talk. Second, how can someone have proof that they're not from somewhere? It doesn't make sense.'

She looked sheepish and apologized before taking them to an igloo on the other side of the village, which was around one hundred feet from the other side. They all headed inside, where a man around their age and a bald boy with an arrow on his head sat. "Hey Katara! Who are these guys?" the younger boy asked.

She lightly blushed and turned to them. "I'm sorry, I never got your names! I'm Katara, this is my aniki, Sokka," she motioned to the older boy. "And Aang, the Avatar."

"I'm Namikaze Naruto, and this is Yoru. He can't talk, so if he hands you a piece of paper, it's what he's saying. We're from another world, so you'll have to explain stuff to us, like where we are."

"We're at the South Pole, mister alien." Sokka commented.

Naruto just smiled. "Did I mention that we're trained assassins?" And everyone panicked. "No no no no! We're not going to kill you!" he shouted, somewhat calming the three. "It was a really stupid thing to say, I apologize. It was a retort to ponytail's insult, but it's true. Where we come from we're shinobi, and we get paid to kill people, among other things, but we really are here to help you do… whatever you're going to do that's supposed to save the world!"

"…I believe you!" Aang exclaimed. "But I'd like to know some things. First, what's with your guys' eyes? Second, is your arm okay?"

Naruto explained about their eyes, and assured him that his arm was fine. "Well can I check, just in case?" Katara asked, reaching for his bandaged limb.

"NO!" he screamed, jerking his arm away from the girl.

"Hey! What's up with you?! She's just trying to help!" Sokka yelled.

"…I don't want to talk about it. I can't show you my arm until I'm completely sure I can trust you. Please, just let it go…" Naruto pleaded.

"Urgh… Fine. But you better tell us eventually!" Naruto smiled and nodded.

"So… Can you tell us some about this world?" the former demon container inquired.

A few hours later, Aang, Sokka and Katara finished telling the otherworldly duo about their world, which had been dubbed the 'Avatar world' whereas Naruto's world was the 'Ninja world'

"That… is… AWESOME!! Do you think you guys can teach us bending? Pleeeeease??"

"Well… Not everyone can learn bending in the first place, and you guys are from another world, so I don't think you can. Sorry." The waterbending girl explained.

"I think we should try to teach them! After all, what's the harm in trying?" the Avatar asked.

Katara sighed. "Okay, here we go. From what I know, which isn't much, your bending ability is usually based on your personality. I'm guessing that Yoru is probably a waterbending type, but I'm not sure about Naruto. From what I know, he could be an airbender, firebender, or an earthbender. He's very energetic and unpredictable, which lends to Airbending, but he likes to fight and is emotionally driven, which leads to firebending. He's extremely determined and has exceptionally high stamina, which goes toward earthbending, so I have no clue. Do you have anything to add, Aang?"

"…No, you pretty much got it. We're going to need to leave soon. We're going to the North Pole so that Katara and I can get a waterbending teacher. She's pretty good, but she can't teach me everything. Maybe she can teach both of us, Yoru! And once we get to the North Pole, we would all get a teacher! Would that be okay?" he asked. Katara nodded with a smile, and he continued. "So she can teach us until we get there. I'll try teaching you Airbending, Naruto. If you can't do that, then we'll try earthbending and firebending, because I'm going to need to learn them too, eventually."

Sokka yawned. "It's getting late. We can leave in the morning. Now, we sleep."

A few minutes later, they had gotten sleeping bags for the shinobi, and the group fell blissfully into the realm of dreams, eagerly awaiting what the morrow would bring.

So how'd you like it? I'll start on the next chapter once there is a clear winner in each poll. I know, I have low expectations.

POLLZ POLLZ POLLZ POLLZ POLLZ POLLZ POLLZ POLLZ POLLZ POLLZ

This is a poll for the type of bending Naruto will get. ONLY VOTE FOR ONE BENDING ART!! The choices are:

A: Airbending

B: Earthbending

C: Firebending

Another POLL!

SHOULD NARUTO HAVE ROMANCE WITH SOMEONE? If so, who? Remember, it will end as soon as they go back to the Hall of Worlds. The love interest will not come with them, and even if they have a love interest, it won't be extreme. It will probably be strong like/love from both parties, but neither will think that the other likes/loves them until Naruto has to leave and they confess. The choices are:

A: NO ROMANCE

B: Yes, Katara

C: Yes, Toph

D: Yes, Princess Yue

E: Yes, Suki

F: Yes, Other. (FEMALE character of your choice, such as Azula, Mai, Tai Lee, June the hunter chick, No O/C's)

Yet Another POLL!

Should I skip most of the episodes, going straight into the North Pole part? Choices are:

A: Yes

B: No

Naruto is not NEARLY calm enough to be a waterbender, which is why it's not in the first poll. The second and third polls are just to influence me. Unless I get a LANDSLIDE victory, I might not go with it.
