"This is a new story"-Speech

I hope you all enjoy it -Thoughts

It was been awhile- Personas, demons etc.

????'s POV:

"Ah, welcome, it has been some time since we had a visitor."

Those where the words I heard when I could finally focus my thoughts. Looking around I saw I was in a carriage of some sort, the interior a dark blue color. In front of me, a balding man with a huge nose sat, his bloodshot eyes staring at mine, seeming like he was looking at my very soul. To his right, a young woman, her platinum blond hair done up in a bun., her eyes, closed, almost like she was sleeping. She was dressed in a Kimono the same dark blue as the carriage we where riding in….wait, I wasn't in a carriage before, me and sensei were riding in the back of a straw carrying wagon.

"Do not worry, right now you are dreaming."

The old man said that almost like he was reading my thoughts, weird. Anyway he began to speak again, so I better pay attention I guess.

"I welcome you to the Velvet Room young man. As I said, this is a room outside of what you call reality, between mind and matter. It has been such a long time, since we last had a visitor, in fact I believe are last visitor was before the rebirth."

Rebirth?

"Anyway, I am getting ahead of myself, I should as least introduce myself. My name is Igor." The old man then moved his hand toward the lady with us. "This as I assistant, her name is Diana." at the mention of her name she opened her eyes. Odd, I never met anyone before with gold eyes.

"Welcome, it is a pleasure to meet you." she said in a soft, but firm voice. Wow, she has such a pretty face, wait Igor's speaking again, I guess I'll pay attention again.

"Now would you do us the honor of telling us your name?"

"My name?" Hmm…this guy sure looks weird….but I get the feeling like I can trust him…. I guess I'll humor him and tell him my name. "My name is….Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki."

"Ah, it is a pleasure to meet you Naruto." Igor say with a flourish.

"Yeah, sure, I guess. Anyway, what am I doing in this place?"

" Who can say." Was Igor's answer.

" What do you mean old man, you live here, why would I be brought here?" I said standing up.

"Calm down young man." Igor said as he motioned for me to sit back down. When I plopped down in the seat after a moment, he began to speak again. "What I mean is that I am uncertain as to the circumstances that have brought you here. All I can tell you is that soon you will enter into a contract of some sort. And soon you will awaken to something in which you will need our assistance. If you are in need of more knowledge, there is a way."

"Ok, I'll bite, what do I need to do."

"Just answer this question." Igor said as he waved his hand in front of him, out of nowhere a table and a deck of cards appeared. "Tell me, do you believe in fortune telling?"

Fortune telling? What the hell? Oh well, I'm only dreaming right, I'll go along with it. "Yeah, I guess I believe in it a bit."

"Excellent ." Igor said as he waved his hand again. Like magic the cards spread out in a diamond shape. That is some cool jutsu. Maybe I can get the old man to teach me it. "Tell me, don't you find it interesting that each reading uses the same cards, yet no two readings are ever alike." Igor said as he flipped one of the cards, on it was a picture of flames and a pair of hands. "Hmm, the Magician, in the upright position. This card represents beginning a new journey." Igor said as he grabbed another card and turned it. This card had a picture of a moon on it. "…..Hmm, this is the moon, in the upright position. This card represents, mystery and hesitation." Finally, Igor flipped the last card, is was an odd guy, dressed in a top hat. " I see, the priestess, in the upright position. This card represents self-discovery…wait a moment." Igor says as he touches the card, another was stuck to it. "Hmm, strength, in upright position….very interesting."

"Ok old man so what does all that mean?" I said, getting a bit impatient.

"Easy young one, calm down and all will be explained." Igor said as the cards suddenly disappeared. "What these cards mean are, soon you will begin a new journey. On this journey a great mystery will be imposed on you, through this mystery you will discover something about yourself, and through this discovery you will discover the true source of your strength. Igor said as he folded his hands in front of his face.

Suddenly, everything began to blur in front of my face. "Hmm.. it appears that I am almost out of time." Igor said as he waved is hand one more time, a dark blue key landed in my lap. "In time, you will need to come here again. At that time, use this Velvet Key." Igor said as I pocketed the key. Just as the key was in my pocket, everything went white. " Until we meet again." were the last words I heard from him.

Somewhere near Konoha:

"Kid, hey kid….HEY!!!! NARUTO!!!! WAKE UP!!!"

Opening my eyes I was greeted to the sight of Jaraiya, the toad sage, and full-blown pervert. Rubbing my eyes, I mumbled to him.

"Geeze, ero-sennin do you have to be so loud? I was finally able to get some sleep."

"Kid, sleep is the last thing you need at the moment, you've had plenty of time to rest anyway. Besides, we're almost there." Jaraiya said as he pointed forward. Following his finger I looked ahead, sure enough I saw the tall wall that surrounded my…..home.

"Konoha huh?……It has been awhile since I was….home. I sure hope the old man is doing OK."

" I just got a letter from sensei yesterday. I let him know we were on are way back, So he should be fine." Jaraiya said the wagon was checked in and was let through the gate.

"So, I really am back huh." I just hope that things have changed since I left all those years ago….for whatever reason. I thought to myself as I absently rubbed my wrists.
