Naruto Chronicle
Just when a short but dangerous mission seemed to be over, the unexpected side effect to his own actions sent him to another world. Will he ever make it back home and fulfill his promise and dreams?
Chapter 1 : Accidental Trip to Yuko's Shop, New Journey Begins
Just Outside of the Shrine Where Mouryou's Body Used to be, Right After Said Demon was Defeated
Shion spoke seriously, "I must continue the line of priestesses that will suppress demons like Mouryou." She turned to Naruto and asked with a smile, "Will you help me Naruto?"
Not noticing the shocked looks on the others' faces, our hero ignorantly gave a foxy grin and replied in the 'Nice guy' pose, "Mojiro-dattebayo (Of course)! I'll do whatever it takes!" If his fellow shinobi (ninja) weren't shocked before, they were definitely floored now, what with their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets and jaws dropped.
All of a sudden, a strange glow was coming from the now volcano where the duo just managed to take down the ancient demon with their combined attack. It was so bright that it enveloped everyone, blinding them completely. When the light was gone and the shinobi were again able to see, they couldn't help but notice that the blonde shinobi and the one they were hired to protect were missing.
Sakura called out in a shouting voice, "Naruto! Where are you? Stop playing around and come out!" She thought to herself for a moment, 'They couldn't have run off to… No way! Even if the baka (idiot) was going to do that, Shion-san wouldn't go with him… or would she?' Inner Sakura screamed in anger, 'CHA! He is so dead when I find him, shannaro!' With that last thought, she looked angry in the same manner when she usually was about to pummel Naruto to the ground.
Kakashi commented with a stupid look on his face, "That young priestess and Naruto are bolder than I thought. Maybe they're getting busy already," he let out a perverted giggle at the thought of that, only to be punched by the irritated Sakura. "Che, mendokuse (troublesome). Let's search the area for them. We will get in trouble with Tsunade-sama if we go back without him, not to mention the problems that would ensue if the village where the priestess resides hears of her disappearance," Shikamaru remarked. Kakashi got back up from the painful punch that could've cracked his skull and said seriously, "Indeed, let's look for them." With that, the Konoha-nin plus Temari were off to search for their nakama (comrade) and Shion, not knowing that they would not see them again for some time.
Meanwhile, the couple was plummeting through the stream between dimensions, not knowing what's up or down as they saw strange colors and images of different places pass them by. Shion cried out in panic, "Naruto! What's going on?"
Naruto replied while extending out his hand, "I don't know-dattebayo! But I'll protect you with my life! Take my hand, and don't let go no matter what!" Surprised by the endearing words though it wasn't exactly the right moment to react to them, Shion simply nodded and took his hand as they continued to fly through the stream like crazy. That is, until they saw a flash of light that blinded them as they headed towards it.
They went through the portal and crash-landed onto the ground with a thud. It was raining. Naruto rubbed his head with one of his hands as he muttered, "What the hell hit me? And why do I feel like something's on top of me-tebayo?" Turning to see that his new female friend was the extra weight on his back, he called out, "Oi Shion! I know we both just landed, but could you please get off me! You're heavy-tebayo!"
Said girl who was recovering from the strange trip and sprawled out on her crush immediately got off him, with a blush on her face as she replied indignantly, "How dare you speak to a lady like that! And I am NOT heavy!" Noticing that he was not listening to her as he was looking at their surroundings, she held her snappy remarks and did the same, not recognizing anything around them. They both stopped at the sight of a strange woman in front of what appeared to be a traditional Japanese home, along with the figure of a young man their age in glasses, as well as two little girls, respectively with blue and pink hair. "Ara, we sure have a lot of visitors today."
Naruto immediately took a defensive stance in front of Shion, kunai in hand as he asked in a suspicious tone, "Who are you? There's something strange about you, and it's not chakra that I'm sensing. Did you bring us here?" Shion also stuck her head out from behind her fellow blonde and commented, "I feel something strange from those two girls too."
Yuko replied in her usual nonchalant yet mysterious tone, "Relax. I am not here to fight you. The attack that you used, combined with the young priestess' power, had a strange reaction and opened a temporary rift between dimensions, bringing you both here." Naruto asked in confusion, "How did you know about the Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere)? And tempo-wha? What're you talking about-tebayo?"
Shion spoke as calmly as she could, but couldn't hide the worry in her tone. "What I think she means, Naruto, is that we're not in the Elemental Countries anymore. But how did you know abou-" Naruto started rambling in panic as he held his head with both hands, interrupting her, "NANI (What)? How are we going to get back? I still have to keep my promise to Sakura-chan to bring Sasuke-teme back, not to mention my dream to become Hokage-dattebayo! Is there even ramen here? We're stuck here forever-dattebayo!" He went on for a while, not listening Shion's attempts to get him to stop and explain to him at all, while Yuko had an amused smile on her face at the blondes' antics.
She finally spoke after a few minutes, interrupting them, "There is a way to bring you back to your home, but in exchange for that there will be a price." That got the blonde boy's attention as he stopped and asked excitedly, "How? How do we get back? And what's this price that you're talking about-tebayo?"
Yuko replied calmly, "This is a shop that grants wishes. For every wish, a price of compensation of equal value must be given," Shion was about to ask what she wanted in return, but was stopped by Yuko holding up her hand as she continued. "Naruto, you have already paid more than enough to earn your wish to return to your home, what with your horrible childhood and all those you helped without expecting anything in return," Naruto looked shocked at how much the stranger knew, as she turned her attention to Shion. "I cannot however, say the same for you because of the many lives given up for the sake of your survival. You are currently unable to afford the cost, even if you were to give up your most valuable possession."
Shion stared at the only thing that her mother left her, contemplating what to do. Naruto said angrily, "How dare you-dattebayo! You know my name and so much about me, yet you ask Shion to give up what her treasure and say that she can't go home? I'd rather not go home, or she's coming with me-tebayo!" Shion held an expression with a mix of shock and curiosity at her fellow blonde's words, wondering what past Naruto had.
Yuko gave Naruto a look as if she was staring into his soul, making the blonde flinch as she spoke, "So you would even give up your chance to go home immediately, just so she may go with you?" Naruto prompted replied with a "Mojiro-dattebayo!" not noticing the look of appreciation on Shion's face as she whispered with a blush on her face, "Naruto…"
Yuko looked as indifferent as ever, only thing different being the small smirk on her face as she said, "Very well. I will accept that as the price. You may head home with her, in exchange that you are to travel with her until you finally return to your home." Hearing that, the blonde duo's faces brightened.
Watanuki, who has been keeping quiet the whole time, finally spoke, "Yuko-san? How're you going to do that? You can't give the black Mokona to them. You need him to keep track of those guys that came here before them." Wondering what the young man meant by that, Yuko simply replied calmly, "I did not say that it was the only way to travel. Maru, Moro, please bring me the key."
The two young girls cheerily complied in a childish manner as they went inside the shop. After hearing some shuffling sounds, the two returned with a tiny key in hand and handed it to the witch. She handed it to the blonde, who accepted with his hands.
The young shinobi stared at the key inquisitively as he held it up. "How is this dinky thing supposed to get us home? It looks like a key, but what door does it open?" Shion sweatdropped as she replied, "I don't think that's how it works Naruto. It's not like we fit it through an invisible door out of nowhere."
Yuko nodded in agreement as she said, "That's not exactly true. Try channeling some of your chakra into the key and focus on making it bigger." The duo looked mystified, but with a shrug, Naruto complied and did as he was told. Shortly after, the key's size grew significantly, into the shape of a sword.
Naruto looked surprised and excited as he began to swing the weapon around, while Shion looked on, every bit as intrigued. Yuko continued, "This is the Keyblade. By focusing your chakra on the tip, you can open a doorway to another world. It also doubles as a weapon." After trying exactly that, they were surprised to see a door appear in front of them. Naruto stopped and asked excitedly, "Ne neechan (big sister), why can't I just go back to our world right away with this-tebayo?"
Yuko smiled at what he addressed her as she replied, "That's simple. Without knowing exactly where the world is, you will simply open doorways to other worlds at random. You may contact me with the key by focusing your chakra while thinking of contacting me, and we will be able to speak to each other. Your wish has been granted. I believe it's time that you get going?"
Right as they were about to leave with Naruto opening the door created with the Keyblade, eager to get going, Shion turned to Yuko and asked, "You know exactly who we are, when we would get here and what we want. This is too much of a coincidence. How did you know?" Yuko replied calmly, "There are no coincidences, only the inevitable. I believe you should leave now, your friend is calling for you." Turning to see Naruto doing exactly that, Shion promptly bowed at Yuko in thanks and ran after her protector, as their new journey home has begun, not knowing what could be on the other side.
So what do you think? Pretty strange start with a mix of elements from Tsubasa Chronicle and Kingdom Hearts huh? I'm totally open to ideas of what world they should go to first. The only restriction, if it qualifies as one is that you suggest worlds where the whole story's done and over with, so that I don't have to second guess if the plot of said worlds get too far ahead of the canon plots. Besides that, any game or anime works, assuming I know enough about them. It's not going to be picked by votes though, I'll just pick one world that I like to start with and go onto another after. With that said, all that's left is to ask you to please read and review, thanks!
Edit : Well without a world picked out yet, I don't want to start a new chapter just to disappoint you to find that it's only a stinking author's note, hence why I'm answering your reviews here. First of all, yes I'm going for accurate canon characters, to the best of my ability anyway. The –dattebayo thing, if more of you ask me to stop typing it altogether, I'll probably do it. It's just that nobody's bothered to mention that it's excessive so far, so I want to keep close to the manner in which he speaks. For those of you who've never heard of Tsubasa Chronicle, it's a world-hopping story in a nutshell. If you care to find out more, just go look it up. I may or may not have more Tsubasa characters show up, so don't worry about it too much.
Unfortunately, I don't know most of the games and anime that you guys have suggested so far. Xenosaga's a good idea, but I've only beaten it once and watched it once, and I can't say with a straight face that I can make that work without mucking it up. I by no means am an amateur in games and manga, it's just that you've hit most of the ones so far that I didn't find interesting enough or had time to get around to trying yet. The list of what I know is too long in my opinion, so just keep making suggestions until I come across something. I really don't want to pick one from what I like right away because they're probably overdone. I want to do one world by fan request before I do something I want, so please think hard people.
Yes, Shion is in the harem (gah, still hate using that word), but whether I add on more Naruto ladies to it is questionable, especially Sakura and Hinata, since if you've been reading my other fics, you'll notice that I'm very much against them with Naruto. As for anybody else, I'll consider them when the time comes, but that's unlikely in the immediate future since it'll be a while before I let them return to their own world, or an alternate reality where the Naruto cast exists. But the good thing is that yes, I plan to have him gain one or more girlfriends from each of the worlds they go to all over the space / time continuum, hopefully in a way that makes sense and not make them want to jump him like dogs in heat with no good reason. Well I think that covers all the reviews so far, please come up with more ideas, original ones, but hopefully not TOO original that I've never heard of them. Thanks!
Edit 2 : Well I know it's only been about a day since I edited this thing, but I only got ideas from one other person so far. FF10's not a bad idea, but its plot's a bit weird for me to insert it anywhere in my head to make that work yet, so I'll save it for later. The Pokegirl thing, I don't know what that's about, I'll assume you're talking about the Pokemon continuity. I have only one idea for that so far, and it'd be quite weird, so not just yet, since I don't want to start off like the Tsubasa anime with them in a monster world right away. It could be the next world after this one though. That'd be interesting, so I'd keep it in mind.
I'm going back and forth between DBZ and Bleach, because I've seen both ideas done, although the Bleach crossovers are far more commonly seen. With the girl in the Bleach continuity, I can't put him in that world yet, since he wouldn't stand a chance in a fight there in his current state. I'm not necessarily talking about his power, but rather his speed. So I'm thinking DBZ would work.
But then, I thought : with all that godmoding power and speed and few female characters that can fight on the main characters' level, who would be the best choice and when in that continuity can I stick him in where he would stand a chance? I mulled over that for half an hour before I came up with one spot where things can work, and allows time for Naruto to mature as well. I'll leave that hanging in the air for you guys to figure out where until my next chapter comes out, which shouldn't take TOO long. But hey, it's decided. We will start with DBZ first, Bleach and Pokemon in the definite future, with FF10 there too, but that one only comes once an idea where to stick him in pops into my head. Thanks for the help, or rather the lack of it from most of you except bobby6killa and the others who actually gave me game and anime suggestions. The effort is most appreciated, thanks! Now I've got to finish chapter 6 on my other Naruto fic before I jump into this. See you in chapter 2, and I still take other world ideas for later, so keep R & R-ing, thanks!
