Authors Note: I added a part that was never there originally. You have to read the chapter to find out where and what it is. This part plays well into the future of the story so if you miss it, then you'll have no idea on what's going on with Naruto from chapter three onwards.

- Chapter One: Revelations and Summarizations -
'Wake up brat!'
"Gah!"
Within the confines of a bedroom, a blonde figure suddenly sprang up from their bed, sitting up and looking around in what was known as clear panic. He had a pair of blue eyes, a trio whisker marks on each of his cheek, and an arm completely wrapped in bandages, his right hand to be surprised.
'Idiot don't be so surprised. It's your jutsu that sent us here after all… wherever here is.'
Right.
Now he remembered…
Because of how things were more than a few years following the Fourth Great Shinobi War, he'd no choice but to leave his home and everything he once knew in order to keep the Elemental Nations from drifting into another war so soon after the most recent one, all due to the fact that not only did he have all the Biju's chakra sealed inside him in one entity that was and was not the Juubi - due to the fact that while it was a form made out of the nine tailed beast's chakra, it was Kurama who was in the driver's seat - he also the full power of the Rinnegan thanks to the fact Sasuke's eyes were implanted into his eye sockets as per his deceased friend's final request because he didn't trust his eyes in the hands of anyone else who wasn't he, Naruto.
Of course, …
This lead to serious ramifications once it was found out that he had such a huge amount of power stewing within him, a power claimed by Madara and Obito Uchiha during the war.
Nobody wanted to be subjected to the same horrors they already lived through during the war.
They feared the potential threat he could become.
They feared him, and didn't trust that he could keep all the power he had in check, that he would eventually be driven mad and attack them, so the only solution was to seal his chakra with the tightest seals they could find, chuck him up in blood prison, and throw away the key and he was to do it peacefully. It's an ultimatum that was given by the Rai, Tsuchi, and Mizukage. It was either this, or they would drive through Konoha with their forces until they got what they wanted. And because The Kazekage wasn't going to stand by this, he, Gaara chose to be on the side of Konoha and thus, it would be two villages against all three.
The Fifth Great War.
And because he didn't want any of his friends to suffer any more than they already did through another war, to lose any more family because they were fighting to protect him, just as he didn't want to get locked up in blood prison - again - the only solution was to pack up his things and leave this place with an experimental space-time jutsu willed to him by a man who he couldn't save during a mission back when he was still a Genin.
Konran Seichuu
The jutsu was incomplete until he got his hands on the sealing matrix and added his own alterations. It was like an incomplete solution he completed on his own after looking through it; and when he was done, he may've also taken the liberty to make a few alterations to the Jutsu's name.
FūinUzumakiŌgi:Konran Seichuu
It was how he got here.
The Space-Time Jutsu, once it got working with the right set up and equipment, was one that theoretically allowed him to manipulate the forces of the Randomized Chaos Theory to force open a doorway to another plain of existence, a portal to another dimension whose barrier was thin enough to break through, and it seemed that this was the dimension that fulfilled said role. But that begged the question…
Where was he?
'Unfortunately, brat, it seems like that's not even the cusp of our current situation.'
'What?'
'Your coils were damaged the moment we broke through.'
'WHAT?!'
'I was busy trying to keep your body from falling apartwhen we were moving between spaces.' Kurama explained. 'And if I hadn't done that, you'd be in an even worse state than you are right now. Be grateful that you aren't a pile of ooze. We can deal with your damaged coils later, once I figure out how to fix it.'
'Later? What the hell do you mean later? How am I supposed to defend myself if I come face to face with an extremely powerful enemy? How am I supposed to survive?'
'You do what Shinobi do in this current situation, you adapt. Just because I said that your chakra coils are damaged doesn't mean that you can't use chakra. Are you forgetting about that Rock Lee boy? At most, all you're restricted to do is summon enough Chakra to grant you eight or so Shadow Clones, and maybe a normal Rasengan but I think that is it in a nut shell. Any beyond that would be impossible until I try to fix the damage to your body, that is… if I can.'
Great.
Naruto snarled.
Just great.
'In the meantime, try not to access your sage mode.' Kurama advised. 'I'd say call upon my Chakra to help hasten the recovery but even I don't how your body would react to it without the proper network flow.'
The blonde punched the nearest wall he could find, causing a small crack to form with his enormous strength.
"How the hell am I supposed to adapt when there's no one here to teach me how to?"
"You're fixing that crack."
What?
The blonde blinked.
He looked to his left…
'What the hell is that?'
"Oh, don't mind Mr. Popo son, I'm sure he doesn't mean that."
"Says you."
'And you know what, I'm not even going to comment on what I'm seeing right now. Just call me when you have an idea on where we are and what we're going to do from now on.'
Mr. Popo, a rather large dark skinned open chested male with a strange outfit, put his hands behind him and turned, leaving the room just as a green skinned old chrome male - with a pair of antennae on his head - walked in holding a staff and wearing an outfit with characters unrecognizable to the blonde printed on the front of said outfit.
"Hello, I'm the Guardian of this planet, but you may call me Kami."
'Kami?'
Naruto blinked.
"Not one to sound like a jerk or anything but you don't look like a 'God' to me."
"Oh?"
"And I've fought and defeated a lot of people who foolishly claimed the title of 'God'." Nagato and Madara were a good example on those kinds of people. Nagato more than Madara. "Heck, even before I got here, I fought and defeated the 'Rabbit Goddess'. So, if you're looking for a fight-"
"That's a pretty strange way to thank someone for their hospitality."
Naruto crossed his hands over his chest.
"Yeah? Well if you didn't go and introduce yourself with such a pretentious name, Kami, then I might've been more grateful."
Kami sighed.
"Well then let's start over for I believe we got off on the wrong foot."
"You think?"
"Allow me to properly introduce myself…"
Kurama sighed.
What he hadn't told the blonde Jinchiruki was that in the process of keeping his body together, a certain amount of DNA manipulation was needed, and because the Uzumaki part of his DNA was the one with the much more regenerative qualities, well let's just say that Naruto was more pure-blooded Uzumaki than any of his ansestors; yeah it was a shame that Minato's DNA had to be deleted from the equation all together, and this meant that Naruto was now no longer a son of Minato Namikaze… but it was for the sake of survival.
Minato would understand.
What concerned the Biju, however, was that in manipulating the blonde Jinchūriki's DNA, he may have also forced the activation of a Dormant Gene within Naruto's DNA that had far more Regenerative Qualities than the Uzumaki gene, in fact, from what he studied, it would seem that this Gene was what seemed to be the origin of the Uzumaki Gene within Naruto; the Uzumaki Gene seemed to have mutated from this Gene in particular. The fact of the matter was that breaking through the wall that separates all reality wasn't exactly what destroyed Naruto's Chakra coils… that fault laid at his paws because he messed with something he didn't understand as much as he thought he did.
Who'd've thunk?
He was still surprised that after the whole DNA manipulation thing, Naruto still looked remotely the same, aside from a few red rooted strands on the back of his head that he was sure the blonde wouldn't notice because of how miniscule they were; either way aside from that, the fox Bijū was sure that in time, things would be pretty much the same as they always were with him and Naruto.
What's the worst that can happen?
"That…"
Naruto frowned.
He knew the old man wasn't lying, but he found the tale told to him to be quite out there in terms of where story telling went and he didn't even know where to start.
"Is quite the tale."
He thought his life was as adventurous as one's life could be but apparently, he was wrong. And to top it all off, was the fact that straight out of the old man's mouth was the fable of the 7 wish granting orbs that summon A Wish Granting Dragon with the power to grant any wish once summoned with the right words, after said seven Orange Star Balls were gathered. And no…
He wasn't joking.
"I know."
Kami smiled, having conjured up a chair to sit down.
"And it would seem that I'm not the only one with interesting tales to tell."
Oh…
And there was the fact that he could read minds. It was how the green skinned man knew his name without him even bothering to give it in the first place. It was one of his many techniques, also an issue he still had with the man because quite frankly, not only was it rude to impose on his privacy like that without his permission like that, the fact that the green skinned Kami had managed to somehow sneak passed Kurama bothered him quite a lot.
"It's a shame that someone so young would have to go through so much." Kami commented, resting both his hands on his staff. "Fortunately for you, it's made you a much stronger person, hasn't it?"
"Humph!"
"How precious."
Naruto crossed his hands over his chest, turning away from Kami with a huff.
"So now that you've made it this far, and have nowhere else to go, what're you going to do?"
Hmmm… Naruto thought, that was a good question.
What was he going to do?
Well…
He could leave a life of peace, there was that option. Since he was in a new world, he could live the life of a peaceful traveling hermit, exploring new places every day to see how different this world was from his, explore new things as Kurama was working on fixing his damaged chakra coils… or he could settle down and give up fighting all together, but even he knew that was going to turn boring sooner rather than later.
"Still giving it some thought are we? How 'bout I give you a helpful nudge?"
Naruto glanced at the old crone.
"I'm listening."
"You fight for the sake of others correct? For the sake of those 'precious' to you."
Naruto nodded.
"Then why don't you use your gift to become a guardian of this planet?" Kami suggested. "I may not be long for this world, so it wouldn't hurt if I had a student to pass on some of my lessons to, like Piccolo does with his student."
Naruto scratched his head.
"Well…"
It wouldn't hurt to learn a thing or two from the old man, who clearly didn't have long for this world. He could learn from this man the basics of this worlds language, and maybe a way to use his Chakra without having to be restricted from the damaged coils. He knew who Piccolo was, from the old man's tale, so it wasn't pretty 'out there' that like his darker half this one knew the basics of how to utilize energy the way the guys from the story did.
'I say go for it. It's not like you've got nothing to lose by trusting him, and besides if what he says is true, then you need to be able to defend yourself from these Planet Busting monsters with an equally destructive force, until your chakra coils are fixed. Looks like for the meantime, we're going to have to manage with this energy they call 'Ki'.'
'What about Sasuke's Sharingan and Rinnegan?'
'What about it? To activate a Doujutsu you need to send a small amount of Chakra to the eyes through a very special network that was amongst the shattered mess I now have to find a way to fix. And you can't use any of the abilities granted by those Doujutsu without activating them-
'So, I guess that's a no then? Damn it! And I just got used to Teleporting with the Rinnegan.'
Naruto sighed.
"Then I guess it looks like I have no choice do I?"
He looked at the old man sitting in front of him.
"Hope you're ready to face the music gramps 'Cuz it looks like you're gonna have to put up with me for a while!"
Kami's smile reached his eyes.
"Oh, believe me, I'm sure I can easily handle whatever you throw at me son as after all: this ain't my first rodeo."
"Believe it."
"But that doesn't mean your excused from fixing the hole you damaged."
"Aww…"
(Many Years Later…)
Aside from the fact that his body stopped aging physically two years ago, things actually turned out quite well for Naruto, despite the fact that he couldn't seem to stretch beyond his 5" 8, a stark contrast to how short he was back during his Genin days.
Ha! Suck on that Kiba and everyone else who said he was short!
In any case, however, in terms of how his progress went, he would say that for a guy without the use of his Chakra, he was doing quite well, especially after he unlocked the ability to use Chi like most people in this world seemed to do following his consumption of The Divine Holy Water once it was clear that he was able to unlock his Chi the normal way.
A mistake he won't make again.
And thanks to that, unlocking his Chi, and overcoming the negative side effects of this forced explosion of raw power, his body was able to move and react in a way much different than what he was used to with the help of Mr Popo - who was a rather great help quell his ever rising and ragingly overwhelming power - and once he got used to the feeling of this new strangeness, well let's just say that with the help of Kami, King Kai, and a wonderful dimension called the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, a place where one day is the rough equivalent of one year - as in one day in the outside world is one year in the time dimension - he was able to master heck of a lot in a short bracket of time, especially after Kami had made some alterations to the rules of the chamber making it possible for one to last more than two outside days.
He spent roughly a total of 15 years in the time chamber.
Unfortunately, Kami saw that he was spending too much of his time there and decided to reset the rules with the upgrade of adding one extra day and one more person, but that's it.
Anyways, physically, while he was about 24 years old, mentally he was a lot older than that, and it was thanks to the time chamber. Not only was he now able to fluently read and write the characters of this world's alphabet (thanks to Kami) he could say that thanks to his training (Mr. Popo and King Kai) he was now quite easily able to keep up with some of the strongest fighters in the planet. His one on one fight with the extra ordinally powerful Son Goku was proof of that; without any transformation of his own, he could easily keep up with the man when he even went Super Saiyan.
He was that strong.
It also helped that within his training period, Kurama found a way to fix his damaged chakra coils and thanks to that, to the added boost, he was even stronger than before, although for some reason, he wasn't able to access the full powers of Sasuke's Sage Chakra, but that didn't bother him as much as it should have because not completely all was lost. Anyways without the use of his really powerful Chakra, he had to learn how to fire energy blasts, fly, and do many other amazing things with just his Chi, his Physical Energy. His Chakra returning didn't change the fact that he could do all those amazing things, in fact, it added more to his repertoire.
King Kai was a great contribution to that.
A story for another time…
The Kamehameha, Masenko, and Special Beam Canon, those were just some of the few he techniques he learnt that was added into his jutsu arsenal.
He had great teachers.
And more importantly, he had even greater friends, all of which whom helped him overcome the burden that was loneliness. Goku and his son, Gohan - who he was introduced to six months after his arrival - were amongst that list, Gohan more than Goku because of the bond they developed - more like the bond that was forced upon him by Gohan who had taken it upon himself to be his sparring partner - as Goku and Piccolo were a bit more focused on getting stronger, which they couldn't really do with Gohan around - and he didn't mind because he actually liked Gohan, despite how awkward the Half Breed Siyan could be sometimes; and because he made fast friends with Gohan, Chichi instantly took a liking to him, even more so when from time to time he supported Gohan with his studies.
She could be added to his list of friends.
Krillin, Tien, Chiaotzu, Master Roshi, and even Piccolo could be added as well but unlike Gohan, none of them sparred with him on a very frequent basis so he was not as chummy with them as he was with his half breed friend; and on quite a lot of occasions, he even got to hang out with Bulma and the Briefs, so I guess you could add her to his list of friends, especially when the blue haired woman wasn't trying to flirt with him in order to tease him so as to get a reaction out of him.
All in all…
He was living the good life.
Which was why he wasn't going to let some androids wreck it.
He would do everything in his power to make sure that this world was safe from world ending threats.
Believe it!
End.
Authors Note: Started work on this today and I'm quite surprise that I was able to get this done in the very least. Quite a few Naruto/DBZ stories have been floating in my mind and I already began work on the many different versions but unlike the unfinished ones, this one was finished, and I have to say, I did a good job for the first chapter. Now… if only this story gets the very well deserved recognition it surely needs…
In other news…
Naruto's Universe's Timeline: It follows the same timeline as the universe in Rise of the Hamato Clan, meaning things didn't go so well for Naruto except unlike in that one where Sasuke was alive and well, well as well as he can be with one arm, the Sasuke of this Naruto's universe had died by the hands of Naruto in their final battle on the valley. One shall stand and one shall fall after all. It's how Naruto has the Sharingan and of course, eventually, the Rinnegan. His connection to Hagoromo makes it possible for him to switch it off and on unlike Kakashi or Nagato; Sasuke also gave Naruto these abilities the same way Obito gave Kakashi his duo Mangekyō Sharingan.
The Tailed Beasts: They formed into one collective entity with Kurama in charge. So, while they are indeed a Juubi, they aren't the Juubi that was an extension of Kaguya's rage but instead, a much more peaceful and powerful version of the Original Juubi but like I said, Kurama's personality and overall charms is in charge. So, yay for Naruto.
Chakra vs Chi: I'll get to that debate when I'm very sure on where I want to go with it. At the moment though, Naruto's chakra is such that it can allow him the use of Ki techniques without a mismatch in power or strength. If he were to be in a beam battle with say… Goku, the one with the superior stamina and power will win. For all intents and purposes, in this story, Chakra has the same damage points as Chi only it's much more versatile.
I don't want to hear any debate saying otherwise.
