As Naruto sat in the forest looking over the scroll of seals, he found a unique looking one that had a pair of strange weapons on it above a shield with an odd tube inside it, on the bottom a length of some type of ribbon like emblem held the single word, Vangola.
Touching the seal that held the odd emblem, five items popped out making him blink, wondering why anyone would seal these types of things up.
What popped out was rather unremarkable as there was a simple pair of mittens, a cloak, headphones and a small case that when he opened it he saw a pair of clear contacts.
Looking over the items, Naruto fitted he mittens on himself to see how they fit, and was shocked when they transformed into a pair of red and silver gloves that were form fitting to his hands and arms, on the back of the hand was a light blue orb with an X glowing inside it, alongside an emblazoned IX on top of it, flame like patters glowing along the gloves as it transferred into what looked like a pair of bracers on his arms.
The cloak was simply a long brown cloak with a simple broach on it, the letter I emblazoned on it. Pulling it on, Naruto was surprised that a set of flames suddenly sprouted licking the bottom of the coat going to his knee.
The contacts and headphones were simply that, what just appeared to be a simple pair of headphones and contacts, however when he put them on and in, he found that they were anything but. The contacts seemed to show a meter in front of his eye with neither bar filled, the headphones, not noticing anything different, simply did nothing.
The last thing that had pooped out, a pair of boots, black in design, with what looked like flames and X's on them in various places along the boots.

What most didn't know was that unlike they all believed Naruto knew full well what he hosted and who his mother was, along with his maternal family, who the village had tried to keep hidden from him.
Unlike most others, Naruto had a very durable body, after several hundred attacks, Naruto barely ever felt the attacks and started to fall asleep during them. His body became as hard as metal and hot as fire when he fell asleep while being attacked, one time however it was very different, a flame grew on his forehead as he calmly opened his eyes to stare at the men that attacked him.
He soon learned that this mode that he had somehow entered was a state that was passed down through the blood of his maternal clan, though they called themselves a family, far more than a clan, having changed their name to Uzumaki after they married into the clan.
It helped to have a giant talking fox in your stomach when you suddenly pass out and are summoned to him.
Learning of his family and its history from the fox, Naruto soon gained full control of this mode, the hyper dying will mode. After he gained full control, one day Naruto got very upset and was coated in flames that were flickering between sky blue and orange.
He eventually learned that this mode was a more advanced version of the hyper mode that he had full control of, and thus was harder to master. It kept his calm mind and clothes, as he learned that the initial form had a way of destroying the clothes of the user. The only difference between the two modes was that the more advanced form let him have full control of the flame as it coated his hands to a massive degree.
He always had trouble with this mode, mastering it at the least, being unable to enter it fully without being in danger or getting upset like he had that one day.

As he pulled these items on, Naruto never noticed the large whole that had opened behind him while the world around him froze as if time had stopped and left him able to move. Looking up after he noticed the lack of noise around him, Naruto felt a pair of hands suddenly grab him before it pulled him back with a powerful tug, causing him to fall into the whole.

The wonderful land that was filled with kind and loving people had been turned on its ear after the good king that ruled over their land was poisoned and died.
The king, before he breathed his last, spoke one last prophecy to his three daughters and the people of his lands.
"There will be a dark time ahead of us, one will come and save our land. A wizard, the likes of that this land has never seen before. He will be the one that shall save us, and vanquish the rain of a dark witch that shall terrify this land of ours." He spoke to them "watch for this man, my children, he shall fall from the heavens one day. One of you will marry him and become his queen for his kingdom."
As the king spoke his last, his form paled more before he finally died, letting his soul rest finally. The tears of his daughters were shed over his body. The entire land attended the funeral for their king, the noble and kind man that he was. The man was loved by all in the land, and he cherished the entire land as his family and friends, never turning one away from his presence.
The land soon after, had fallen into a great depression, the people growing in fear of the dark witch that had started to take over the land.

Looking around himself, Naruto saw that he was in the middle of the air, floating as it were. He saw a series of misty peaks around him, the clouds above him letting what looked like snow fall around him before it traveled back up to the clouds it came from.
Suddenly, as he turned around to look below him, he started to fall at a sudden rate. Looking wide eyed as he plummeted towards a shore line, passed the bell flowers and melody lilies. The scroll clutched in his gloved hand as he plummeted.
In an effort to amuse him, flocks of water bird flew out around him, as he passed the water, butterflies flew off of trees. The reeds in the water blew slightly over to release music, the tall curly grass that rose out of the water, being brushed against by the leaves that the wind blew, caused harp music to fill the air.
A cacophony of music ringing throughout the air, even as he fell at a tremendous speed, Naruto had to admit that the music was rather nice, as if the land was greeting him and welcoming him to itself.
Bracing himself, Naruto subconsciously encased himself in the ultimate dying will, softening his impact as the flames created a barrier around him that scorched the ground. Slamming into the ground, still at a relatively fast pace, his body formed a large crater that was soon filled with water.
Looking around as he stood up slowly, Naruto saw movement in the bush in front of him. Unsure of what was awaiting himself, Naruto held out his hands as the flame sprouted on his head.
"Who's there?" Naruto asked calmly although his body felt as if he had went a few hundred rounds with the spandex wearing Jounin that he had seen training several times over the years.
A loud squeak erupted from, obviously, a female as it was far too feminine to be male, before a series of fireballs shot out of the bush causing him to look shocked as he was blasted back by the first four before he could regain his bearings and started dodging them.
Making his way closer, to the source of the eruption of fire, Naruto kept dodging them, slightly sore from the first four that had hit him dead in the chest with enough force to send him flying several feet backwards in slight pain.
As he neared the bush, he saw a flash of red before the fire shot out. Not expecting the latest of the fireballs, Naruto shot up his hand only for it to be coated in a flame that somehow caught the fire that the female had sent at him. Looking at it amazed, Naruto soon squashed it, just before he jumped to avoid several more.
When he jumped however, he accidently cleared the bush when he was trying to jump to the side, causing him to land directly on top of a woman only three years older than himself, if he had to guess. A large floppy hat that was on her head fell to the ground as he eyes widened in shock, a blush forming on her face as she gazed up at the male that landed on her.

Theodora was out for a walk, when she saw a flame covered being slamming into the ground near her location. A large gout of steam rising from what she had to guess was from the fire hitting the water near where he was.
Going to investigate, she was shocked to see that a fire had suddenly grown on the male's forehead and seemed to not even harm him. In her surprise however, her magic got out of control and shot at him repeatedly.
The first four slamming into his chest making her cringe, hoping beyond hope that she had not truly harmed the man. Smiling lightly to herself, she saw him stand back up after all four hits, and steadily make his way, dodging, to her.
What surprised her the most on the other hand, was the fact that he somehow caught her flame in his hand. No one had ever been able to do that before, not even her father had. She had learned from an early age that her magic was highly unstable and worked very hard to control it and keep her emotions in check so that it didn't run amok like it was just now.
As she gazed up at him, she could feel that he was rather toned from the way he was straddling her waist, his hands on either side of her face, their lips oh so close to touching, leaving feather light touches every time they breathed in and out.
She saw that the flame that had occupied his head was gone now and his eyes seemed to change, his pupil turning a slightly lighter shade of red, while his iris turned slightly darker, though was still a vibrant shade of crystal blue that seemed to just beckon for her to get lost in them as she stared, her blush growing larger as she noticed that she was rather not minding the fact that she was pinned by the mysterious man above her.

Looking at the beauty below him, Naruto looked into a pair of onyx colored eyes that seemed to analyze him as they moved across his face, though seemingly remained locked on his own eyes. Her creamy skin, and light complexion accentuating her black hair that was held by a pin to the left side of her head in a wave like pattern.
He could also see that her full lips were covered by a vibrant red lipstick that made her even more beautiful to him. Her eyes wide as she looked up at him, the blush growing on her face, for reasons that he couldn't figure out at the moment.
He could feel what seemed to a pair of skin tight waist high pants, underneath him, her white blouse covered partially by a red jacket.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to land on you." Naruto said as he stood up and held out his hand to her, a smile on his face as she looked down shyly from his gaze while accepting his hand.
"I saw something fall from the sky covered in fire, was that you?" she asked cautiously not wanting to upset the being in front of her, seeing that he could catch her flames.
"Oh, that, yes that was me. I didn't want to hit the ground with how fast I was going and the only thing I could think of to soften my landing was use my dying will to cushion the blow. However I wasn't expecting to be hit in the chest with four fireballs. Care to explain that?" Naruto asked her trying to calm her as he looked at her patiently.
"My magic, I'm sorry, I have a hard time controlling it when I get scared or angry. I didn't mean to hit you; I hope you aren't hurt by it." She said to him getting a kind smile from him that set her nerves to ease.
Bringing up a hand and gently placing it on her shoulder, "don't worry, it was unexpected but I have had worse than that." He told her, the blush that had receded on her face, growing once more as she heard his words.
Opening her mouth to speak, the two heard a loud shrill cry from somewhere in the forest around them. Looking around, the two heard it once more causing the woman to balk; not wanting to deal with the thing that she knew was coming at them.
"Quickly, come with me. I shall make this short and explain more lately, there is a prophecy about a man falling from the sky and saving our land of Oz. if you don't stay alive, the wicked witch will win and control the entire land. You are the only one that can stop her." She said to him.
"Right. I will help you, with this land, I promise that to you, but I will not run from the face of danger." Naruto said to her causing her to look fearful for him as she heard a louder cry come at them. Turning to face what was coming at them; Naruto saw a large black baboon with bat wings flying at them, claws outstretched as if it were going to claw something or someone.
Glaring at the monkey, Naruto balled up his fist while it started to get licked with flames, before he could throw a punch however, the woman jumped in front of him as the monkey clawed at him, reacting without thought, Naruto grabbed her around the waist and spun taking the attack on his back, leaving several claw marks on his orange jumpsuit as his new cloak flared out and above the attack.
Eyes wide as she didn't feel any pain, the woman turned to look at Naruto, only to see that he had already turned around to face the baboon with a fierce glare on his face as his entire arm was covered with the flame from before. Thrusting his fist out, a beam of fire shot from his fist singing the monkey and forcing it to fly away after several injuries that Naruto had inflicted upon it.

After the monkey had flown away, Theodora looked shocked that the male had risked his own life just to save her own just as she was about to do for him.
Watching as he turned around, he gave her a hard stare causing he to flinch as he spoke, "what were you thinking lady?" Naruto asked with a hard tone.
"But… if you die, then there will be no hope for Oz." she said in a small voice as she looked to nearly be crying.
"Look, lady, I understand that you wish for my help in restoring your land, but I don't need you to risk your life for my own. I don't want it either, I rather you be safe than dead because of me." He told her.
ZZ
"I understand I am sorry for that." The lady told him.
"Sorry, that I got hard on you, I just really don't like others being hurt because of me. My name is Naruto Uzumaki, what is your name?" Naruto asked her causing her to blush as her eyes widened.
"The… Theodora, witch of the west." She said shyly to him.
"So a witch, I can accept that, but I don't really think that you are one." Naruto told her causing her to huff at him.
"I am too. I can prove it too." She said to him, a ruby red fire appeared in her hand as she held it carefully, controlling it so that it didn't go flying off.
"You are way too cute to be a witch my dear. I would accept that you are a special girl that has powers that many of the villages would dream of." Naruto told her getting her to blink as her flame vanished in her hand.
"What do you mean?" she asked him as they started to walk.
"Well, let's start with where am I first; I don't know any place where I am from with this kind of wildlife." Naruto said to her.
"Um, you are in the wondrous land of Oz." Theodora told him getting a nod.
"I understand that, but what I am not sure of, is there any place around these lands called the elemental nations?" Naruto asked her getting a shake of the head. "Dang, well, it seems that I have been transported to a different land entirely. Where I am from, we have ninja rather than witches and wizards. The way you generate your fire, many of them would be jealous of you and want to either learn your secrets or force you to bare their children so that they too could have the power, which I don't think is possible as I saw your ring glow shortly when you made that ball." Naruto told her.
"I see." She said slightly shaken by the way of his land.
ZZ
After setting up camp, which was just a simple blanket and his cloak that he had lent for her a cover as the blanket was being used so that she didn't have to sleep on the ground.
"So if I understand this correctly, this land, Oz, had a king who was killed by one of his daughters, your sister. Your other sister, Evanora, chased her out of the city, and you have been looking for the wizard that your father had prophesied to come to this land, and you believe that I am this wizard." Naruto said to summarize getting nods from her at each of the points.
"Correct, you are the wizard, aren't you?" she asked hoping beyond hope and believing beyond belief that this male was indeed the wizard that would save her land.
"I am sorry, but I am not a wizard, I know what my people call jutsu, though I only know a few. I did however promise that I would help you this land, and I will uphold it. I never go back on my promise. So if you wish to think of me as this wizard, then so be it." Naruto said to her, causing her to frown and look sad at first but perk up after hearing that he would help her anyway.
Standing up, a small box fell from his pocket. Looking down at it, Naruto raised an eyebrow, not knowing that he even had it in the first place. Opening it up, he saw a pair of earrings inside with what looked like four slender feathers on either one. Looking up as he heard a small gasp, he saw that Theodora was looking as well and had taken her jacket and hat off, letting her hair down as well.
"Would you like them?" Naruto asked her getting a blush from her. "They would look better on you than me anyway." Naruto told her as he walked over to her, moving her hair out of the way as he placed them on her ears.
"No one's ever given me a… gift before, simply because they wanted to." She said as she shyly looked into his eyes.
"Never? Why, you're a pretty girl, I don't see why anyone would want to not give you something." He said causing a slight smile to form on her lips.
"That's kind of you to say, but you don't know much about witches do you?" she asked.
"No, not really. But we are more alike than you may think if I am right. " Naruto said before he held out a hand to her.
Blinking as she looked up at him, tilting her head so that she could get a better view of him. "Don't tell me that you never been asked to dance before either." Naruto spoke seeing her look.
"No one ever did." Was her very quiet reply.
Smiling at her, Naruto grasped her hand before he pulled her up causing her to lightly gasp at the soft feel of his hand holding her own, having taken his gloves off and stored them within his cloaks inner pocket. "It's time to learn." Naruto said before he positioned his and her hands to what he saw others do.
"What?" she sounded out to him.
"Relax, I never done this either. Just go with the flow and feel it." He told her as he smiled to her getting her to melt in his arms.
Stepping forward, she pressed her entire form into his own, despite only being three years apart; they were the same height, having learned that he was only 15. News that shocked her as she learned it.
As they danced, and Naruto spun her around, her back touching his chest, he felt his lips seemingly gravitate to her neck as he placed a gentle kiss on her skin getting a sigh as a shiver of pleasure thrust itself through her body.
As they spun around once more, their lips seemed to be inches apart once more, giving her the pleasure of feeling his lips feather touch hers once more during this day.
Neither of them knew what or how it happened but the next thing they knew was that they were pressing their lips to the others, hungry for more of the sensation that was gracing each of them. His hands snaking around her waist as he held her close, hers pulling his head closer to her lips, giving her more of the feel that she was receiving.
After several seconds, which felt like hours to the two, they separated leaving a smile on their lips as they gazed at the other. "I'm sorry, that was terribly for…" she started to say.
Before she could finish what she was saying, Naruto pulled her to him as he placed his lips to hers, causing her to get lost in his embrace. Before long, the two once more separated as Naruto walked over to the small makeshift bed that he had set up for her. Laying her down on it, he was surprised when she suddenly pulled him down with her, causing him to land under her as they seemed to twist around the other, his back touching the blanket as she grinned above his form.
"The prophecy, it also said that one of the daughters would marry the man that came to this land." She told him as what he could only guess was love started to shine in her eyes as she stared into his.
