Naruto was stumbling through the forest on his way back from fighting with Nagato, leader of Akatsuki. He had to admit that it was an amazing fight, and that he was one tough person with that Rinne'gan of his. Their fight had torn apart a good portion of the forest surrounding the village, speaking of he needed to hurry back so he could heal and help them rebuild. He suddenly heard Kakashi calling for him, trying to find out where he was, when all of a sudden he felt a stinging sensation in his chest. He looked down to see the tip of a blade sticking out of his chest. He slowly turned around to see an ANBU with 'Ne' on the mask.
"Why?" He asked, coughing up blood as he fell to his knees.
"You have become a threat to Danzo-sama's plans, and a threat to Konoha altogether." The man replied as he disappeared in a Shunshin.
Naruto looked ahead and, as his vision blurred, he saw Kakashi appear in front of him.
"Bye…sensei." Naruto said as his head fell, never to return to an upright position.
Naruto awoke to a blinding light and immediately covered his eyes. After a few minutes he slowly uncovered his eyes to find himself in a white room. He sat up and looked around. He saw a chair next to the bed that he was in, a lamp on a nightstand next to the bed, and a red door on the other side of the room. There were no windows or vents yet he could still smell fresh air, it just didn't make any sense. Then he realized that he was stabbed in the chest and looked down to see why he was still breathing, only to find that there wasn't a mark, not even a bandage over his chest. He looked down further and saw that he was naked. If he didn't freak out because of there not being a wound, he definitely freaked out about being naked.
"AAAAHHHHH!" Naruto screamed as he frantically searched for something to cover himself besides the sheet, when the door suddenly opened. Naruto shot his head over to whoever it was that had entered his room, thinking they were the ones that removed his clothes only to stop when he saw a beautiful woman standing there. There stood the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. She had white hair that flowed down to her waist, bluish/white eyes that strangely reminded him of a very hot fire, and a beautiful, slightly angular face. She wore a white kimono with pink and red sakura blossoms and a red obi. She was also about 5' 6" and had a bust about one size smaller than his baa-chan, which put her at about a large D-cup. He only knew that because his ahem…sensei had him help with his research many times during their travels.
"Naruto-kun it is quite inappropriate to stare." The woman said, captivating Naruto with her voice.
"Oh, um sorry ma'am." Naruto said as he blushed and looked away.
"That is alright. I find that I have that reaction no matter who I meet."
"Yeah, well still. Sorry, it's just, you're, like really pretty and stuff." He said, his blush deepening. When he suddenly remembered where he was and had no idea what was going on. He shot out of the bed and pointed at her while yelling. "Who the hell are you and where am I? Are you with the Akatsuki?" he had also forgotten that he was naked.
"Well in order of your questions I am Kami, creator of life. And no I am not a part of this Akatsuki."
"K-K-Kami-sama!" Naruto said as his mouth dropped and he had a dumbfounded expression on his face. Kami just giggled at his reaction from behind her hand. Naruto immediately collected himself, turned sideways and huffed while mumbling "It's not that funny."
"No I suppose not, it's just that it has been some time since one of my own creations has had the audacity to, as you would say, "Show me his awesomeness." She said pointing below his waist. Naruto looked down wondering what she meant, only to see his unclothed self, scream in terror and jump back into the bed and cover himself. "You know I do not recall making you that large." Kami mumbled as she stared at him. Unknown to her because of Kyubi and the constant attempts at his life as a child he heard her and blushed again as he sank his head further under the blankets.
"Kami-sama?" Naruto asked looking over the sheet at the literal Goddess in front of him. "Can I have some clothes please, and could you step out while I change, or at least turn around?" to answer him she just waved her hand and a set of clothes appeared on the chair. They weren't his normal clothes but he would just have to deal with it for now. He may have been stupid, but even he was smart enough not to piss off a god when they are standing right in front of him. He then looked to Kami and saw that she had turned around. Satisfied that she wasn't looking he quickly changed into the new clothes. He now wore a pair of black pants and combat boots, similar to the ANBU, a red shirt with a black Uzumaki spiral on the back and a sleeveless vest. It sort of creeped him out that they were just the right size, but then remembered who had given them to him and didn't really care.
"I suppose that you are wondering as to why you are still alive, am I correct?" She asked Naruto as she turned around upon hearing the rustle of clothes stop. He nodded. "It is quite simple really. I require you're assistance on a certain matter. I do not have control over the mortal realm, I just create the creatures that live there, they decide how they live. I have a small amount of influence on the world other than creation, but the gods have all become worried about a certain point in time, where great change is supposed to occur. However because of a great amount of corruption in the political offices of this time period, it is making this change more difficult than need be." She paused to see his face scrunch up, thinking about what she was saying.
"So, you want me to kick their asses to help this change happen, right?" Naruto asked slowly trying to make sure he understood what she was asking.
"Yes, I want you to help end the corruption. However I must take away a few things from you. First and foremost the Kyubi. Should you lose control during this crucial point it may make the change harder or even impossible."
"Well you can have his fuzzy ass. I was looking for a way to keep him quiet forever anyway." Naruto said nonchalantly.
"Very well. Shinigami-kun." She said, and all of a sudden a…man with a black robe, long white hair, a butcher knife, purple skin and a demon mask appeared.
"You called milady" he said in a deep, almost demonic voice.
"Yes, I did. I would like for you to remove the Kyubi from the boy."
"Yes milady." He reached out with his right hand and pushed it into Naruto causing said boy to gasp in pain as he felt the shinigami's hand enter his body. He could feel him searching his soul for the fox. He suddenly felt the man's arm grasp something and it started to pull out of him. A few seconds later he saw the hand emerge with what seemed like soccer ball sized glowing red orb and fell to his hands and knees.
"Is that all you required milady?" at her nod he gave a slight bow and disappeared.
"Damn, that hurt. I wonder if this was the kind of pain that Gaara felt when Akatsuki extracted Shukaku." Naruto muttered as he struggled through the pain and stood up.
"Yes, I apologies for that. I believed he would have warned you first. Next I must take away your chakra as the people of this time do not have such a luxury." At this Naruto, forgetting that he was in the presence of Kami herself started yelling at her.
"What? Why do I have to give up all of my Jutsu? It's how I fight, without them I'm near useless. My taijutsu is barely average, I don't know how to use a sword, I don't know how to do much else. How the hell am I supposed to fight?"
"Are you quite finished?"At his nod she continued. "Good. Now I did not say that I would not be putting you there without anything, I do have a couple of gifts for you. The first is this." She said as she waved her hand again and a katana appeared on the bed along with a scroll. Naruto looked at it for a minute. It had a red sheath and looked to be about 25 inches long. The handle was black with red diamonds. Naruto slowly unsheathed it a few inches to look at the blade. It was black with a fire like pattern where the actual blade was. He quietly sheathed it and set it back down and picked up the scroll and opened it. The top of it said Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu. He glanced at the first couple techniques and then closed it.
"Thank you for the katana Kami-sama. What is its name?" Naruto asked.
"It is called Shodai Kitetsu. It is a cursed blade, though I believe that with you sheer amount of luck you will be fine as its owner." She said not missing the scared look in his eyes when she mentioned that the sword was cursed. "My next gift is this." She said bringing a box around from behind her. "In the time I will be sending you to there are people with strange powers. Some can shift into animals, turn their bodies into amazing weapons and even control the elements even better than any Jutsu ever could. People gain these powers by eating a Devil fruit. It is a cursed fruit that, once eaten grants amazing abilities, but at the cost of the ability to swim. Once you eat this fruit you will no longer be able to use Jutsu." She said opening the box and presenting it to Naruto who peered inside. It looked like a normal fruit except it was a light blue and had strange squiggles on it.
"So which fruit is this?"
"This is the Air-Air Fruit. With it you can control the very air around you. It's temperature, direction, or like your wind ninjutsu, its sharpness. You would literally be turned into the wind. This is the power of a Logia type Devil Fruit."
"Alright, I'll eat it." Naruto said as he reached into the box and grabbed the fruit and took a bite. Almost as soon as he took his bite he felt like throwing up. It was so disgustingly bitter, yet he still swallowed it.
"That…was …disgusting." Naruto grunted out.
"And my final gift to you. What replaced chakra, Haki. Not just any type of Haki, but Houshoku Haki." She said as she reached out to Naruto and placed her hand on his head. Naruto felt power fill him for a few seconds and then it faded away. "You are ready to go now. Do you have any questions?"
"Yeah, just one. How am I supposed to use this stuff? I don't know how to use a sword let alone this Haki stuff."
"I have already taken care of that."
"What do you-" He never finished as he suddenly blacked out, the last thing he saw was a smiling Kami.
Silvers Rayleigh, the "Dark King" and "Right Hand Man of the Pirate King", was walking near the shore of the Lawless Zone when he saw a raft about 30 feet out with a person on board. He was curious as to who was stupid enough to travel these seas on a raft and called out to him.
"Oi, you on the raft!" the man didn't respond. "Oi, can you hear me?" again the man didn't respond. Rayleigh sighed as he took off his coat, shirt and shoes. He then jumped into the water and swam to the raft. When he got there he found himself looking at a young man no older than 16. He had blonde hair and three strange whisker-like marks on each cheek. He had on a red shirt with a vest and black pants and combat boots. He then noticed the sword laying next to him and immediately recognized that it was the Shodai Kitetsu. He then made a snap decision and brought the raft to the shore, picked the young man up, grabbed his sword, and took him to Shakky's Bar.
