AN: Hey all and welcome to my first Fan Fiction attempt, just as an FYI this will be a very slow process for me as I'm trying to get into the rhythm and nailing down my stories progression so please be kind.

this is just the prologue for now but review on any faults that you feel I made or what you liked.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or ramen

We find the wandering immortal sage walking down a dirt path in the forest of Fire country with the face of someone at peace with themselves but if you looked closer you could see a man who has gone to hell and back for those he cherished with the strength to oppose a god if he so chose to but more importantly you would see a tired soul someone who has done what he has dreamt of, fulfilled the goals placed upon his shoulders by those who put their dying faith in his hands and has finally been allowed to take a break from his labours and to rest.

Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, the Nidaime Rikudo Sennin, and the Jinchuuriki to the nine Bijuu of the elemental nations, but to those of the younger generation he is known as the Hero of the Fourth Great Shinobi war over a one hundred and fifty years ago, the blond himself hasn't been seen in the public eye since the end of the war but he has been keeping a watchful eye over the peace he and his comrades had sacrificed everything to achieve and has decided that he is no longer needed deciding that its high time he took a vacation of sorts but his walk down memory lane was cut short as he arrived at his destination where we re-join the story.

"It's been a while since my last visit here…" he said in a sombre tone overlooking a monument built for the true heroes of the war, the monument itself was a large rectangle obelisk with the names of those who fought in the war, it was Naruto's project over the years to carve the name of every last shinobi who fought against Madara's army so they would not be forgotten "…and also my last so I thought I'd make it special" he said unsealing a bowl of ramen "itadakimasu" as Naruto ate his ramen with a far slower pace than he was known for as he looked over the names of his precious people for the last time, the names of his parents Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze, his Godparents Jaraiya and Tsunade, the Konoha twelve Lee, Tenten, Neji, Shikamaru, Ino, Choji, Shino, Sakura, Kiba, Hinata, Sasuke… 'Even after all you did you fought by our side one last time as team seven'.

His thoughts were halted by the sound of dripping only for him to notice he was crying, not from regret or guilt from their deaths but from the happy memories of his time with them, he had long ago made his peace with their passing and moved on and he didn't want to end up like kakashi staring at a stone for hours on end dwelling on the past… "well at least I don't read that smut of his constantly" he chuckled drying his eyes, standing up bowed low to the Monument "I promise you will not be forgotten I will keep you all alive in my heart and my soul, goodbye… kaasan… Tousan…everyone, goodbye" after that Naruto turned and left back down the path with a purpose, after it's not every day you travel to another dimension for a new life, and a new adventure.

Looking closer at the last Uzumaki standing at a height of 1.8m you could see the his golden hair has developed some highlights of the trademark Uzumaki red styled similar to that of his father held out of his eyes by a unique headband with three symbols the center for the shinobi alliance the left for konoha and the right for uzushio, his Sapphire eyes now with slitted pupils along with darker whisker marks on his cheeks, his dark blue shirt underneath a custom coat like his fathers that has light blue flames along the hem with a dark purple tree in behind the flames and stitched in the leaves of the tree is the kanji for 'will of fire', his black cargo pants are adorned with gold bands around the ankles and held up with a dark yellow belt with a buckle styled after the kyubi's head, finished off with a pair of dark gray combat boots.

~~~~~ 3 days later ~~~~~

Since Naruto was last at the memorial monument he has been busy on his latest project that would have had any seal master gaping at the complexity and size, this particular seal is designed to transport living organisms through dimensions to another one that has similar life forms to that which is being transported this is accomplished by Naruto using his sage mode to sense them to form a link then using his vast reserves to make a bridge or tunnel to travel through in an instant, it was based off his father's Hiraishin technique but given that his chakra is quite dense it acts as a marker dropping the requirement for the special kunai although they can be useful, there are only two downsides to the seal itself the first being that it requires a large space to be drawn as it easily spans 20 metres across, the second is that once the seal is out of chakra and completed the jump it burns away from the strain of cutting a hole in dimensions thus rendering it impossible to make it back via the seal for another jump, although for Naruto he considers this a plus as it would be disastrous for someone to use a seal like this for their own gains, we now find the blond meditating to sage mode to create a link to start the process.

"ok now all I have to do is find another world that hopefully has humans and not life threatening, should be easy… maybe" he deadpanned to his line of thought 'really didn't think that part through… no use complaining now it will just take a whi-' he paused as he got a rather strong link to two very different places one felt as if there was conflict with two, no three forces fighting for control but not actively so one energy none too different to yokai of the bijuu with the other purer but the third energy felt like the second only tainted 'Hmmm that could be interesting, let's see what this other world has before a choose…' in the second world he sensed faint scaring from war that he knew all too well but the scars were not recent meaning that this world was currently experiencing peace but strangely there was a large amount of lightning element he could feel like when he visited the city of snow country 'dammit I can't choose which to follow hmmm, oh! I know I'll flip a coin if its heads I'll follow the first one if its tails then it will be the other' quickly making a clone to toss the coin for him it disperses to give him the result, raising an eyebrow at the result he says "That was interesting , oh well time to get a move on" he furrows his brow in concentration powering up the seal it reaches its peak and in a flash of white light he and the seal are gone, to begin a new life and start a new adventure…
