AN: Here we go. I'm back. Just graduated from University & looking for a Job.

The world is not as it seems.

We all go about our ordinary lives, engaging in our daily rituals and never bothering to stray a way from the routines and habits that restrict our own freedom. We never bother to look beyond ourselves, nor do we strain out ears to hear that single extra whisper that could be a cry for help. We do not try to step beyond the lines of limitations that we have set for ourselves. We, humans, as a species generally do not try to venture outside of our own world. But we have to learn that our world is a bubble. A bubble encased in laws and rules that we have built for ourselves based on ignorance. We think that we're the only ones here, engaging in our petty wars and squabbles for silly things like money, wealth and power. We kill, murder, lie, cheat, steal, rape and do a dozen other horrible things to each other….

Because nothing could threaten us.

We were dead fucking wrong.

The world was a lot bigger than we think.

And we still insist on ignorance.

You see, we shinobi, as a rule, are very proud. We have gained mastery over the art of deception, manipulation and hell, using chakra we could manipulate the very earth on which we live on. But despite all this power that we wield, despite all these great ninjutsu achievements we have designed…. We just refuse to believe in the existence of beings that goes beyond our understanding. After every fantastical thing we have seen… the tailed beasts are the least of our worries.

I have seen things.

I have seen dragons breathe death on entire cities. I have seen children screaming in terror, as the spirits of tormented souls possessed their parents. I have seen demons rip warriors asunder as if a child was picking legs off of an insect. I have seen gods wave a finger in annoyance and seen entire ships blown away. I saw insects the size of houses carrying off beasts to lay their offspring in them. I have seen stars fall and I have seen stars rise. I saw the dimension gates opening and seen the life of entire civilizations rise and fall. I have seen men fall, die, betray one another and live to see another glorious day on the battlefield. I have seen the rejection of this world and the twisted form of the nether that awaits for the fate of those cursed destined ones.

I have seen other things.

I have seen the kindness of orcs. I saw that witch doctors and witch hunters can cooperate in the face of adversary. I have seen dragons bent on destruction but I also have personally met dragons filled with wisdom and the yearning for peace. I have received help from murlocs and scorn from elves but both of them were no different from the shinobi that I have met in my own world. I saw a god dressed as a beggar help two orphans live day to day in the bustling city, the heart of an empire. I have seen gods fall in love with men and seen women beautiful enough to make you weep at a mere glance into her eyes. I have seen the rough seas with the beasts that lurk within and I saw the mermaids that were able to put them to slumber with their voices alone. I have seen the Great Wyvern Flock of the Western Plains rise as one to dance among the Thunderclouds. I have seen the Aurora of the Northern Mountains with fairies dancing among them. I have been to the Frozen Throne and I have met the spirits of its previous champions.

I fell in love with an immortal but I knew that my heart belonged to another. I have seen the Tailed Beasts cower in fear at the mention of a name. I saw men bow to terrible power and step on the kindness and gentleness of others. I saw shinobi war with one another and yet, learn to understand one another. I have seen the underground caverns of the dwarves and the hidden forest of the drows. I have seen the Castles of Vampires and I am one of the few who could say I survived my journey to the Wandering Jungle. I have met great leaders and I have met terrible ones. I have seen the swarms of undead and dark things stand at our castle gates… and I have seen the bravest of soldiers tremble.

Yet I saw the youngest of children stand in front of their family with their arms outstretched.

I have seen things… and experienced more than most can say.

All for the sake of my mission.

When I was twelve I was sent to this world to fulfill a destiny… to experience what could happen and what will happen.

To make sure it doesn't take place.

My name is Uzumaki Naruto, son of Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina. I am the Host of the Kyuubi, the Nine-Tailed Fox. I am the Jinchuuriki of Konoha. I have killed kings and I have stepped in the house of Hades twice. I am friends to dragons and undead, an honorary orc war council member and sometimes, a drinking partner to the queen of the drows. My best friend is a murloc and my two other closest friends are an orc and a half-drow, half-human girl.

I am a Shinobi.

And this is my story.
