Chapter 1

Naruto sighed as he leapt from tree to tree, this was taking way too much time. He had expected to reach his destination by this point. But then again, as he landed on another tree branch and pushed off it, using his chakra to propel him farther. He did not actually know where his destination was. The feeling he had been getting ever since he had reached the Wave Nation had been wanting him to come somewhere. He could not shake it no matter how hard he had pushed himself while training. Nothing could distract him from the feeling at all.

Finally, after finishing the required training for the day, Naruto took off towards wherever it was this feeling was telling him to go to. By his estimation he had crossed nearly the entirely of the Wave Nation, which was really only a very large island. Still the feeling told him to go farther.

On Naruto leapt bouncing from one tree branch to another. It was a skill he had learned recently. It used what Kakashi, their teacher, had taught them about chakra control. And with it, he could push more chakra into his foot, causing his leaps to triple in distance. Finally he came skidding to a halt at the edge of a large beach.

"Where do you want me to go?" Naruto yelled out in frustration.

As he gazed across the beach he saw something several hundred feet out in the water. He could not quite make out what it was, but with the tide nearing its lowest point, Naruto hurried out till he was standing near the water line. It did not help to much, but from here he could just make out what it might be. It looked to just be a stone pillar very thick.

"That must be what I need to see," Naruto said, as he looked out at it.

Looking down at the water than at the distance between himself and the object Naruto realized he could not hope to swim it. Even if he could, it was well above the water level by about three feet. Meaning unless he was lucky and a wave threw him on, climbing out would be rather difficult, plus with the waves like they were, he would just as likely be hurt in the process.

"It is not like I can walk on water," Naruto growled out, then stopped as a rather recent memory returned to him.

It was of Kakashi fighting another ninja, Zabuza. It taken place almost entirely on water, with both Kakashi and Zabuza walking and running about on it. Meaning it was likely another skill where a ninja used chakra to stand on, or stick to some object.

"I doubt I can use chakra to stick to the water, but what if I use it to repel the water," Naruto said, looking up and down the beach for a calm spot he might try out his idea.

No luck, the entire beach was being hit by wave after wave. Well, that met there was no use for it, might as well take the idea and just run with it. Leaping into the air and over the water, Naruto being to push a fair bit of chakra out of his feet. It was the same amount he would force out when leaping away from a tree.

The result was a little surprising. Naruto landed on the water, but rather than sinking in, he began skidding across the surface. Throwing out his arms, Naruto was just able to balance himself as he shot off the crest of a forming wave and flew through the air.

Naruto let loose a yell of joy as he came down again, and sped off across the water. The chakra was acting like large skids for Naruto. He was speeding across the water, not taking a single step. It was speed unlike anything Naruto had yet felt. And he loved each second of it. Using the waves like jumped he shout high into the air, before coming back down and was off again.

For Naruto, he was rather surprised he found this new ability to be as easy as it was. But he was not complaining, he was not walking on water like Kakashi or Zabuza, but he was sure he was closing in on the right idea. Slowing the amount of chakra that was pushing out of his feet, Naruto slowed to a stop. Then adding more chakra to the amount, he took off again.

Naruto probably would have spent the rest of the day having fun, but the feeling returned only a few moments later. Turning he came towards the pillar, now four feet out of the water. Leaping out, he landed on the top of the large pile of stone.

"Now why did I want to come here for again?" Naruto asked himself as he stared about the stone.

While some would say Naruto rarely paid attention to anything, they would have been wrong. Naruto paid close attention to much of what everyone said, as well as what was going on around him. Wither he chose to use this information or not was another matter entirely. It was why Naruto was such a feared prankster.

But because of this, Naruto soon found just what he was looking for. It was a large stone door, with writing on it. Naruto could only guess what the curvy writing upon the door said. Though he was not bad with language skills, this was unlike any writing Naruto had ever seen, not one character matched those that he had grown up with. But as he stared at it, a phrase came to mind, like someone whispering it to him. He could not believe it was the right phrase, but then again he was lead to this spot by his mental wants, he might as well try it.

"To the last of the old world, I have come," Naruto said, speaking the phrase and feeling rather foolish.

And to his complete and utter amazement it worked. The door seemed to melt away, pulling apart revealing a large set of stone steps. At the same time, the feeling returned, directing Naruto to go down the steps as well.

"Weird stone pillars. Flowing stone doors. And now steps that lead down into the depths," Naruto said shaking his head, "It is official I am going crazy."

Not that that let Naruto stop himself from going down into the tunnel. Step after step he descended going increasingly deeper, down well below the water level. The deeper he went, the more Naruto hurried. He knew that it would not be long before the tide would turn and flood this place. He was only happy that there seemed to be enough light to see, no matter how deep he went.

Finally as he became sure he had not actually gone deep into the tunnel, but rather been caught in some sort of illusion he reached the bottom of the stairs. He noticed it was a great deal brighter now, and as he looked out over the room that he entered into his eyes looked onto two objects.

The first, was a large diamond or pearl which giving off a soft glow. But behind it, was another gem four of five time the size of the first, this one a sapphire. This one was shining brightly filling the room with its light. The glow itself seemed to change, shifting creating different hues and patterns in the gem itself.

"Well I am not sure why I was summoned here, but I am glad I came," Naruto said hurrying forward.

As Naruto got close three other things came into view. They were three swords, each stuck in a stone pillar. The gems, Naruto noticed, were sitting on their own pillars. Moving away from the gems Naruto leaned forward and grasped the handled of the nearest sword the one with a Ruby set in the handle. He felt suddenly a little winded, as the pillar disappeared, and in its place with was a scabbard covering the sword, the same color as the ruby.

Naruto grinned a little at this, noticing there were more marks on this sword, just like that of the door. Naruto grin only increase as he drew out the blade from its sheath. Even with his less than amazing novice knowledge about swords, he could tell it was something special. It seemed to reflect too much light, the blade was not even slightly rusted, and the edge looked to be prefect still.

Putting the blade back into the sheath, Naruto gathered up the other two blades. These two were the same blue as the sapphire that still stood in the middle of the room. He then wrapped the three together in wool blanket, one he had brought with him in case he should have to spend the night somewhere while searching for this place. Setting the blades aside he then approached the gems. But before he could touch them, a sound reached his ears. It was the dripping of water.

"Oh. No, the tide is coming back in!" Naruto yelled.

Naruto was pretty sure that the tide had not reached the same level as the top of the pillar. But it was possible the waves had begun to flow over the top. Which was more than enough reason for him to get going. Pulling off his backpack, he grabbed out another blanket and wrapped it around first one gem then the other and shoved them into his backpack. Closing the backpack, he put it back on before scooping up the bund with the swords and took off up the stairs.

Naruto did not hear anything over the pounding of his feet as he climbed ever higher. And the light glow that had been about the place was still there. But as he got higher he noticed rather great lack of water. It made him wonder if he had heard the dripping of water. Still though he could not allow himself to slow as he pushed his feet to climb faster. Till finally he heard the unmistakable clash of waves.

"Almost out," Naruto said, mostly to himself, his legs burning from the speed and length of his climb.

It still seemed to take another half a minute or so before the light began to brighten. At which point Naruto's feet came down onto wet steps. But he did not slow, keeping up the speed till, to his great relief, Naruto burst out of the top of the pillar and into the light of day.

After the still and quiet of the cave, it was nice to see the sun and feel the wind on his face. He turned and saw that the tide was still fairly low, about two feet below the top of the pillar at the very highest. Sighing with relief, Naruto allowed himself a few moments to breathe, and his legs to rest.

He did not stay still long though. This adventure had been done during the little bit of time he had off. And it would be good if he got back to his job and soon. After all they had someone to protect, which made Naruto wonder a little bit about Kakashi's logic of having him take a break, or anyone of their group. But then again Kakashi was his teacher for the moment.

Leaping off the pillar, Naruto began pushing chakra out of his feet again. Landing on the water, Naruto began flying forward towards the land. Soon he hit a large wave and leapt off it as he neared the beach, landing on the sand before stumbling, his legs still drained form the climb. Sighing he took several deep breath before he began slowly walking forward, heading back to their client's house.

But before he had gone too far off the beach, Naruto felt something strange. It was a light pressure in his head, yet he did not feel any pain or discomfort. Before Naruto could figure out what it was, it stopped.

"What is going on now," Naruto asked himself.

Then, without any warning an assault began on his mind. It drove right into the very center of his mind, and began sorting through everything he was. A second bigger entity then followed this first one as Naruto felt Kyuubi's mind, the demon that had been sealed in him not long after his birth, rise to fight this first attack. Only Kyuubi's mind was smashed by this second being, before its own mind was torn apart and viewed.

It was both painful, and painless at the same time. And there was nothing Naruto nor Kyuubi seemed to be able to do to stop whatever it was that was attacking them. Their very identity was being examined; past and present being laid bare for all to see. Naruto, though he did not see all of it, did learn a far bit about Kyuubi including his given name, Kurama.

Finally the two attackers pulled back, allowing Naruto to realize what was going on again. He had fallen face first into the ground, the bundle of swords off to the side, his pack with the two gems still safe. He then focused inward and found Kyuubi, and the two entities as he entered his mind for the first time.

He appeared to be standing in front of a large gate, the walls around him massive creations made of stone. As he turned about, rather than seeing what was likely that of his mind scape, he saw two figures. The first was a man, tall thin. His face was angler, with slanted eyes like a cat, and long black hair he tided back in a ponytail. Behind him, three times taller at its shoulder than the man, was a massive sapphire blue dragon.

"Who are you?" Naruto asked, his voice echoing weirdly off the walls.

"My common name is Eragon, Brom's son. This behind me is Saphira," Eragon said with a small bow, before adding, "I must say I am sorry about the attack on your mind. But, there was no other choice we needed to know just who had rescued our souls from their resting place."

"Your souls?" Naruto asked confused.

"The gems that you placed in your backpack contain our souls," Eragon explained.

Before Naruto could reply, he heard a loud growl behind him. Turning about, he saw two large red eyes peering at him through the bars. Naruto could barely breathe, as he looked at those eyes, the darkness hiding the rest of the creature. Those were the eyes of Kyuubi, Naruto knew it.

"You two should not be here, you are not of this age," Kyuubi growled out, the eyes coming closer, till the head of Kyuubi was in the light, a massive fox head with teeth bigger than Naruto's own body.

Eragon chuckled, "You are not entirely incorrect."

"Saphira and myself come from an age long since forgotten to your world. Tens of thousands of years ago, we lived and struggled as Naruto or you did in this world. Now, we and the swords you carry with you, are the only remanence we know of our world," Eragon explained.

"And what do you want form me or of the world?" Naruto asked a little nervous.

"Nothing, it has just been so boring down in that room that anything after thousands of years of nothing would be more than adequate. As for what is in it for you, if you help us explore your world, we will help you on your way to becoming the next Hokage," Eragon said, a small smirk on his face.

"You are bluffing, how can you help me become the next Hokage?" Naruto said, then unable to help himself asked.

"I can teach you a great many things. Sword play, government, tactical advice. That is just to name three. I have also fought and lived through a massive war that threatened to enslave everyone," Eragon explained.

"How can you teach me sword play, when you are a gem," Naruto asked.

However it was Kyuubi who replied, "Trust him. His power and knowledge is older than even my own. Even as a gem he and his dragon Saphira have been watching this world for ages, studying and learning."

Naruto turned to look at Kyuubi, a little stunned by this pronouncement, and he saw in Kyuubi's eyes a glimmer of hatred. But a few moments later it vanished as Kyuubi focused his eyes on Saphira. The room around them seemed to shake as the two stared each other down before finally Kyuubi looked away.

"So that is who you are," Saphira said, speaking for the first time, "To think she is still alive after all this time. If only sealed away like we were."

Eragon smirked, as he turned to Naruto who was completely lost and said, "When you awake use your Shadow Clone Jutsu. I will channel my energy through your body. I will then make a good story up to explain my appearance and the swords."

"What? You are going to lie to Kakashi?" Naruto said, a little surprised.

"More like creatively avoid telling the truth, but yes. We need to see your Hokage, Hiruzen, before we reveal to others what I truly am," Eragon said.

"I am not sure if I should trust you," Naruto said, looking at Saphira then to Eragon.

"Good to see you don't trust everyone you meet without reason," Eragon said before he tapped his foot.

The tap of his foot caused a surprisingly loud echo, and the world to blacken before Naruto's eyes. Moments later, Naruto found himself opening his eyes again, and this time he was back on the edge of the beach, the swords still next to him. He could still feel Eragon's, Saphira's and Kyuubi's mind lightly touching his own.

Standing up Naruto stretched a little bit, his body weirdly stiff, and his legs still sore. Then flashing through a set of hand signs, he went to make a clone of himself. But instead of a clone of himself appearing, one of Eragon appeared. The man stood just as tall as Zabuza, his features much more evident, along with some others Naruto had not noticed before, like the pointed ears.

"It is good to be out and about again," Eragon said stretching some, experimenting with his new body.

"We can summon the others later," Eragon said, bending over and picking up the bundle with the swords in it.

Naruto watched in amazement as Eragon moved with a speed and precision that should have not been possible, and drew one of the swords form the bundle with ease. Then without warning, Eragon drew the sword from the sheath, and brought it through the air with such speed Naruto could barely track it.

"Oh, good," Eragon said, "Still as prefect ever."

Eragon turned and placed the sword back in the sheath, before grabbing the other two. The second blue one strapped across his back, while the first was at his side. The belts forming around those spots so Eragon could carry. Naruto guess that it was probably Eragon controlling the clones image that allowed him to do this. As Shadow Clones, the Jutsu that Naruto had used, made a clone out of highly condensed chakra, which gave the clone physical form.

Once this was done, Eragon held out the final sword to Naruto, "Here take this one."

"Why me?" Naruto asked, though he still took the sword and sheath.

"As my apprentice in swordsmanship, you will need a sword that can stand against my own blade," Eragon explained, "You see, though you have just begun your journey as a warrior, you hold a great deal of promise. And I would like to aid you."

Naruto nodded, but found that he could not hang the sword at his side like Eragon had, so instead used a makeshift belt to hang it across his back in place of the backpack. Eragon then took the backpack, and from it, drew out the gems that contained his and Saphira's souls. Carefully hold them, Eragon began speaking, the smaller of the two gems sunk into Eragon's hand.

Eragon's body shock and shimmered, then regained definition. Naruto noticed on the back of Eragon's palm, the gem now showed, but its brilliance had been greatly reduced, to a light glow. It was also at this point that Naruto noticed thick growths on Eragon's knuckles, that had a scale like look to them. However before Naruto could look to close at them, Eragon moved his hands, and put Saphira's gem back into the back pack. He shifted it lightly and carried it at his side like a sling.

"Okay let's get moving," Eragon said, gesturing towards the way Naruto had first traveled to reach this point.

Naruto nodded, and took off at a slow jog. Eragon was soon beside him keeping up with surprising ease. They moved along in silence Naruto tiring slowly while Eragon kept along Naruto slowing as Naruto slowed.

Naruto glanced over at Eragon, "How fast are you really?"

Eragon looked over at Naruto, who had slowed to a walk by this point, "I could keep up with a charging war horse if I wished, and I could keep up that pace for several hours. For shorter burst I am even faster."

Naruto nodded, "So you are at least as fast as our teacher Kakashi."

"Possibly," Eragon admitted, "I think we shall find out soon enough."

"By the way, what were those things I saw on your hand earlier?" Naruto asked.

Eragon chuckled, "During the war, I lost my first sword and I found myself facing armored enemies. So, in the time between when I got my own blade, made just for me, I adjusted my skin with magic so I could punch clean through a shield yet feel nothing."

Naruto looked at Eragon in surprised, "Does it work?"

"Yes, I punched clean through a man's breast plate. I kept them later even after I got my own sword," Eragon explained, "My fingers have lost some of their flexibility but that is not too big of a problem."

Naruto nodded, "So, what shall I learn first?"

Eragon chuckled, "Sword play. Then when we return to the Leaf Village, I shall begin teaching you other things."

"Very cool," Naruto said, a large grin forming on his face as he tried and failed to draw the blade from his back.

Eragon looking sideways chuckled at this, and stopped for a few moments to adjust the straps and soon Naruto could draw the blade with only a small amount of trouble. His shorter arms creating the biggest problem. Naruto looked at the ruby red blade, he noticed a mark on its surface.

"What does this stand for?" Naruto asked pointing to the mark.

"That is the swords name, Zar'roc, or Misery in the common tongue," Eragon explained.

"You named this sword Misery?" Naruto asked confused.

"No, the sword was forged for someone else. Taken from them, then later given to me as my first sword." Eragon explained before tapping the blue sword at his side, "This was the sword I named. Its name means fire. But if I speak its name in the old tongue, it will burst into flames."

Naruto blinked, "Really, can I see?"

Eragon nodded, and drew out the blade form his side, then holding it a little way from himself he spoke, "Brisingr!"

Along the length of the blue blade sprung blue flames. Naruto jumped back in surprise as the heat washed over him. Eragon grinned and swung the blade a few times before the flames vanished and he returned the blade to its sheath.

"That was amazing!" Naruto said, looking at Eragon in awe.

"That it is, and a bit of a pain," Eragon said with a small chuckle.

Naruto nodded as he carefully put Zar'roc back into its sheath, before pointing to the blade on Eragon's back, "And what is that swords name?"

Eragon did not draw the sword, but rather touched the pummel where the large sapphire sat. He seemed to get a faraway look in his eyes as he took the hilt in his hand, before letting it go again. Naruto wondered a little bit at this before Eragon finally spoke.

"This was my father's sword, Undbitr He lost it in battle many years before I was born. I found it many years later I returned to my homeland. Ever since then I have kept it at my side," Eragon said with a small smile.

Naruto nodded as another question entered his mind, "You speak of battles and times long since past. When were these battles?"

"If I am correct, nearly fifteen thousand years ago," Eragon answered, as if he was talking about the time passage of a year or two.

"Fifteen thousand years!" Naruto yelled out.

"Yes, no need to yell it out," Eragon said, a light frown touching his features.

"But that is impossible!" Naruto replied, still louder than normal.

"I can assure you it is true," Eragon said, with a small sigh, "But we don't have the time to talk about it now, I shall explain when we return to the Leaf Village, both to you and your Hokage."

Naruto nodded, looking at Eragon with renewed curiosity as they continued onward. It was about an hour later when they finally reached the place Naruto and his team were staying at. It was a small wooden house, which belonged to the daughter of their current Client. Kakashi was standing outside talking to their client, and slightly older man by the name of Tazuna. Inside the house, Naruto could just make out his fellow team members Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha.

"Ahh, Naruto," Kakashi said looking away from Tazuna as Naruto got closer.

"Hay Kakashi," Naruto said, waving, "I met a rather interesting person out on my break."

"Indeed," Kakashi said, giving Eragon a hard look, taking in the slender frame, as well as the twin swords.

"It is nice to meet you Kakashi Hatake," Eragon said, bowing a little bit to Kakashi, "You student here speak highly of you."

Kakashi gave Naruto a sharp look, and noticed the sword on his back, before turning his gaze to Eragon. Eragon kept his face calm and serene as he returned the gaze.

"That is good to hear. Though, I might ask your name," Kakashi asked, "For the life of me I cannot say I have ever seen you or anyone like you before."

"That is quite alright I am not from around these parts. And you may call me Eragon," Eragon answered.

"It is a pleasure to meet you," Kakashi said, has face remaining impassive, "Though I might ask, why is Naruto carrying that sword? I am assuming is yours."

"In the time that I have been with him, as little as it is, I have found he hold great potential. And as such I wish to train him in the art of swordsmanship. As he does not have a sword of his own, and I have three, I figured he could use one of mine." Eragon explained.

"Interesting," Kakashi whispered saying mostly to himself, before he said louder, "If you wish to train Naruto you should take it up with the Hokage."

Eragon nodded, "I shall, till then I shall give Naruto basic instructions. And if you should wish, I would be willing to help Tazuna here with his troubles."

"It would be useful having another person around that could aid us, right Kakashi Sensei," Naruto said giving a wide grin.

"That it would, but I rather know for sure that we can trust him," Kakashi said, looking first at Naruto then at Eragon.

Eragon only smiled at this, "You are smart, but the worry is missed placed. I mean you, your team, nor your client and his family no harm. At least unless you decide to attack me that is."

"And your skills? Would they be equal to an A-rank Rogue Ninja?" Kakashi asked.

"If I were to not hold back, I am more than a match for even a small army of Rogue Ninja," Eragon said, his face becoming impassive again.

Kakashi looked at Eragon closely. Naruto watched, and was sure Kakashi was sizing up Eragon. Naruto was more than sure that Eragon was in no way bluffing, but it would be kind of hard to convince Kakashi of that. Finally though Kakashi nodded, and walked away from Tazuna.

"Very well, I shall test your skills," Kakashi said.

"Is this necessary?" Eragon asked.

"Yes, I rather know for sure you can take care of yourself," Kakashi said.

Eragon nodded, "Very well."

Eragon stepped out onto the path, and looked at Kakashi, "Attack when you are ready."

Kakashi looked a little surprised at the lack of a combat stance. And for that matter Eragon did not loosen the blades in their sheathes so they could easily be drawn. Was Eragon really that incompetent? Before Kakashi could decide however Eragon made the first move.

Eragon struck with a speed no one, not even Naruto had truly expected. One second he had been standing thirty feet from Kakashi, the next, Eragon was right next to Kakashi delivering a palm strike to Kakashi's chest. Kakashi did not react, he did not have time to, before he was sent flying, he chest aching with the force of the blow.

Kakashi was able to just land it, skidding across the ground several feet. And as he looked up he saw Eragon was once again taking a rather lazy stance, his hands at his sides, the swords still in their sheathes. So rather than wait for another blow like that Kakashi took off towards Eragon, to try and return the favor.

Not one hit landed, Kakashi no matter how hard he tried, could not land a solid blow on Eragon. Eragon either blocked, redirected or straight out dodged the blows that came his way. Naruto was in a state of stunned joy, hoping soon Eragon would teach him that. Tazuna on the other hand was looking hopefully at this, if he had someone else protecting himself like Eragon his mission would be a successes.

Finally Kakashi out of annoyance and growing want to beat Eragon, drew out a Kunai. Eragon rather calm look changed slightly to one of slight annoyance as Kakashi made increasingly dangerous attacks at Eragon. Thus as Kakashi made a lunge, Eragon struck. A blow to Kakashi's wrist caused Kakashi to drop the kunai, and, before anyone could even home to react, Eragon's hand had grabbed the blade and held it up to Kakashi's neck.

"My win," Eragon said, before dropping the blade in the ground.

Kakashi was more than a little stunned. He could see most things, and all but the fastest people he could track normally. But that last move, the speed he had only seen a few times before, and even then it had been by Taijutsu masters. Yet, Kakashi knew this man was no master of hand to hand combat, so how was he able to move that fast.

As Eragon came to stand by Naruto, Naruto asked, "Why did you not use your swords?"

"Kakashi does not have a blade of his own, nor would it be safe for me to use these against him. Well not unless he wished to end up dead after the first attempt to block the blade. Come Naruto, let's begin your lessons," Eragon said, before he took off into the forest, his leaping strides taking him out of sight in moments.

A few moments later Naruto followed. Tazuna looked at Kakashi as the Jonin came over. He chuckled and grinned at Kakashi, "Man if I had any reason to worry about before. I think that is over now."

Kakashi could only nod, as he looked with his one revealed eye down the path Naruto and Eragon had gone. His only wonder was just who had Naruto had found out on the Wave Island. After all, he had never met anyone that strong before, at least that strong and who had not made a name for themselves.
