"Come on gaki it's just a little longer" A tall man with very long and spiky white hair dressed in an odd red long vest over an olive green shirt kimono and matching pants he had an odd headband with little horns that had the kanji for "Oil" engraved on it

"Hai Ero-sennin" came the cheerful response from a boy with spiky blond hair, blue eyes and a strange orange/blue jumpsuit

"Don't call me that gaki!" The old man yelled irritated befor adopting a smug look "you should be proud you're being taught by the great Toad Sage of Mt. Myokuban Jiraiya of the Deensetsu no Sennin" he claimed while in a Kabuki pose

The boy just ignored his remark "Whatever you say Ero-sennin" he said before looking arriving at the very top of the mountain, looking around he discovered a bottomless ravine and almost no vegetation around them "is this the place where you were gonna help me summon Ero-sennin?"

"Insolent brat" Jiraiya mumbled a bit "Yes this is the place Naruto, You're gonna have to listen to me in everything I tell you to ok?" the Gama-sennin said to the boy who nodded in response "Good now I want you to use the power of the fox" he said wisely

Naruto nodded for a bit before realizing what the man had said "What! You want me to use it's power are you nuts! I'm not getting anywhere near that, that foul, wretched power of his! the last time I used it's power I lost control of myself and I felt terrible you want me to do that again?"

Jiraiya sighed "Look brat lets be frank you're a Jinchuuriki, you're supposed to wield it's power so the fox wont be using it on everything else like konoha, believe me brat if it were me I would tell you to never use it and to lock it in the deepest corner of your being so it never sees the light of the day again, but let's face it you're going to be in tough battles that's the life of a jinchuuriki and to be perfectly frank you're too weak! You need it's power" he yelled at the blond

"So that's it.. I'm nothing but a human sacrifice? Very well I refuse to be one! I'll use my own power to overcome obstacles I wont use that damned chakra but my own I'll only use that which I gained myself and not that beast's power I refuse to be associated with it from now on!" Naruto yelled

Jiraiya sighed "I was hoping not to resort to this but you leave me no choice" he said before pushing Naruto off the cliff much to the blond's shock "You'll have to use it's Chakra to summon if you wanna live this out Brat! I believe in you" he yelled as Naruto fell to the dark depth of the ravine

In the ravine:

Naruto was desperate, he wanted to live but he was dead set into not using Kyuubi's Chakra he instead tried to do a Kuchiose no jutsu at his highest pure chakra capacity without using the fox's chakra, but due to its purification the chakra while potent was very limited

Naruto managed to summon his biggest toad yet but it was barely bigger than a human "What in the? What's going on!" the grey toad said "why the hell was I summoned falling!" he claimed before looking at his summoner

"Sorry I tried to summon the biggest Toad I could with my Chakra but I only managed to summon you!" yelled Naruto

"Sorry to not be of help syoukanshi-san(1) but only a Toad the size of Gamabunta or Gamaken could help you in this situation please forgive me!" The toad said before dispelling himself

Naruto began sweating and looking around frantically he head then an Idea, he took out a kunai and some ninja wire and he made an anchor of sorts which he threw at a tree root on the wall and tried to grab it to stop falling

"Aaaarrrrghhh!" Naruto yelled in pain as the force of the pull not only dislocated his arm but he also hit the side of the rock wall like a sack of potatoes he screamed in pain for a while before unconsciousness took him and his body fell into the unknown depths of the ravine

Outside Ravine:

"Come on Naruto, don't be stubborn an use it" Jiraiya was getting worried "Please gaki don't die out of stubbornness" he pleaded to no one

After a while of waiting in the edge he realized it was already getting dark "Kami... what have I done" he whispered as a single tear rolled of his cheek before he ran way from the scene towards konoha to deliver the news of the decease of the hokage's golden boy 'I'm sorry Minato...Kushina...'

?:

"Ughhhh wha- what hit me?" Naruto groggily woke up "Arghhhh uh? Where the heck am I?" he yelped in pain as he realized his dislocated shoulder however the shoulder pain woke him up and realized he was in a very dark place

Naruto looked up and saw a hole in the roof on which the night sky was visible, on closer inspection he realized the "roof" was a false floor made out of dried roots, leafs and trash accumulated over the years obviously it had cushioned his fall "Kami that was close" he whispered at seeing the actual height of the ravine "It's nothing short of a miracle I survived.. now where am I?"he said figuring he had nothing better to do until his arm healed to try to climb the rock walls he decided to take a peek at his whereabouts

Naruto looked around and squinted his eyes, he managed to see in the dark however slightly, he was in a cave of some sort it was slightly humid and deeper into the cave there was a green glow "Wait what? A glow? What the hell?" Naruto said shocked to see light coming from deep in the cave

Curiosity overtook him as he limped his way into the depths of the cave following the mysterious glow, as he turned a corner of the cave he discovered the source of the glow

There was a series of strange crystals imbedded into the roof and some scattered in the floor of the cave curious he neared on of the crystals on touched it, much to his surprise the crystal glowed brightly and he felt a comfortable warmth spread through his body before hearing a voice

"follow me" said the voice in a barely audible whisper but to Naruto it sounded like a bewitching command various crystals lit up following a path deep into the cave and Naruto was compelled to follow it

The cave he realized, was flooded inside with many large caverns with tiny lakes but he still followed the glowing crystal as he advanced he came across something that nearly made him jump out of his skin

They were small beautiful girls all long hared with pretty colored eyes and long pointy ears, they wore white robes which clung to their drenched skin making them look even more beautiful they had flowers and vines in their hair but they were all looking sad some were crying others weeping many were sadly combing their hair and at the sight Naruto couldn't help but feel a little sad

"Korrigans, poor cursed maidens, leave them be, do not look at them with pity and they'll be harmless, keep going" said the voice once again making Naruto unconsciously nod and ignore the sad creatures

As he advanced in the tunnels he came unto another small cavern wich held yet another odd creatures these looked like little balls of fuzzy hair with small feet and three fingered hands protruding from their roundness they were of many colors of fur but they all had big bright colored eyes overall they looked cute

"Bauchans, little hobgoblins mischievous creatures that enjoy pranks ignore them, keep going" The voice once again called and Naruto just nodded and kept going inspite the little balls of furr looking at him and some following him

Finally Naruto came to a point where while there were still crystals ahead they weren't glowing as brightly as before looking around he took notice of a straight rectangular piece of rock wall with an odd complex symbol it appeared to be made out of continuous twisted and curved lines that gave the outline of a tree and its roots mesmerized by it Naruto reached a hand and touched the "roots" of the tree only to reel his hand back in shock

Like the crystals the lines began glowing a green light but the cavern began to tremble a little scaring some of the Bauchans that followed Naruto, the wall then split in half and a wooden door was revealed it had another of those swirling line symbols only this time it seemed like three spirals connected at it's ends in a circle

Shrugging Naruto pushed the door open and entered the room which was illuminated by more crystals it was a small room, a wooden carved shelf that held some items of clothing and other stuff sat on the left side of the room, directly in front of Naruto was a chair and a table made of wood on the left of the table lying against the wall was a carved wooden staff that ended in one of those crystals and on top of the table laid a thick book which immediately called Naruto's attention

The book had a thick leather cover with more swirling lines engraved on it but a single figure was in the front of the book, the image was that of a beautiful woman with waving long hair, wearing robes that seemed made out of plants and flowers on her hair, trees were encasing her in a complex sphere made in the same pattern as the odd swirls

"The book of Vortigern, your heritage, heed it's call" Naruto once again heard the voice but this time he was too entranced by the odd book to listen to it

Compelled by a mysterious force Naruto took the book and opened it marveling at it's contents Symbols of all kinds were written in the yellowish pages with drawings and odd symbols once again but as Naruto took a good look at the first page he realized something he never though he'd be capable of...

He managed to read the words written there

Konoha:

Jiraiya had calmed down a bit he took a bit of thinking and then he realized it Naruto was still alive

He knew the boy was still breathing for several factors, the first one being that there was no rampaging gargantuan nine tailed demon fox stomping on konoha's buildings, the second reason what that he took a look at his name on the summoning scroll which was still red(2) the next reason was that the seal's key was still active as Gerotora still had it intact after relaxing a bit he decided to go back to the ravine to see if he could somehow get Naruto out of there

And the final reason was that he was still alive with his manhood intact

-Flashback-

"You did WHAT! are you out of your idiotic MIND?" yelled the third Hokage to the cowering form of Jiraiya who hid behind an Anbu which had passed out on the killing intent being released by the Hokage "How dare you throw your godson down a Ravine!"

"I-I w-was tr-trying to g-g-get him to s-s-summon u-using the Kyuubi's Chakra I didn't realize he was as stubborn as to not use it in such a situation" the Densetsu no Sannin stuttered nervously

"Of course you didn't! if you had been taking care of your godson the way you were supposed to you would have known of his never-back-down attitude, you moronic excuse of a man, and what were you doing with him in the first place when Kakashi was supposed to prepare him for the Chunnin exams in a month!"

Jiraiya was still scared of his sensei but he still conjured up the courage to tell him how Hatake had blown off Naruto's training in favor of the Uchiha and how he took care of Naruto after meeting him in the hot springs along some stupid Jounin that was "training" the brat

"That son of a bitch! Preaching about teamwork when he himself abandons two of his students I'm going to demote him to Gennin after the exams" The third exclaimed with an aura showing why he was revered as the strongest Hokage ever "and you you are not off the hook, luckily I can still sense that Naruto is alive and I cant spare anyone until after the Chunnin exams and the incoming invasion but you will pay, if Naruto comes back before or to the Chunnin exams consider your pelt safe for a while but if he doesn't, I'll remove your manhood and BAN your books from fire country UNDERSTOOD!"Yelled the Hokage provoking a quick nod from Jiraiya "and don't even try to escape or go get Naruto I'll need you here preparing for the invasion and I'll have you on such a short leash you wont even be able to blink without my permission"

-flashback end-

Jiraiya knew he was screwed but at least he was still alive and he trusted Naruto would come back for the exams he really did trust him his manhood depended on that after all

Underground Cavern:

Naruto was simply fascinated the book spoke of ancient warriors that wielded the power of nature itself to aid them in battles which reminded him of the Shodaime Hokage, he read about the ancient religion and worshiping of the old gods, the real gods

As he neared the end of the first chapter he heard a voice behind him "Naruto dear child I am glad you came at last" he quickly turned around and gaped as he faced the very figure on the cover of the book

The woman was as pretty if not more so that depicted in the book her long waving brown hair was covered by white roses and wrapped in vines a white dress made of silk with Autumn leafs on her shoulders, arms, collar, waist and the end of her dress, her eyes were the brightest green he had seen and she glowed, she was followed by little birds and animals perched around her and her face held a kindness he had never seen in his life with exception of Sandaime-jiji "W-who are" Naruto stuttered

The woman lightly laughed which sounded like a choir of angels in Naruto's opinion "I, Naruto, am Gaia, mother goddess of the earth and nature and one of the first gods, and you my child are here to claim your heritage as the descendant of the last Druid, King Vortigern" the woman spoke with a heavenly perseverance on her voice

Naruto was aghast he had just met Gaia! The goddess of Nature mentioned in the book and she told him he was descendant of the protagonist of the book? "Wait you're really Gaia? As in Gaia Mother Nature, Goddess of Earth, Mother of the gods? That Gaia?" he asked

Gaia laughed lightly again "Of course my child " she said before becoming serious "But I'm afraid we have things to discuss you see the world is in danger" she said as Naruto widened his eyes "A mortal man of great power is trying to become a god, normally this wouldn't affect us since it would be the delusions of a madman however this man has the means to become one and his ways are wicked and filled with blood, once he becomes a god he plans on subduing the whole humanity through illusions"

Naruto was shocked to hear that, A madman claiming the title of god and enslaving all mankind? he wasn't going to allow that "B-But Gaia-sama why don't you and the other gods stop him?" he asked fearing about the man's intentions

"You see Naruto that is the problem, this is still a man, and we are forbidden to directly act in the affairs of men, hat is why we used our champions the druids unfortunately the druids disappeared long ago before the time of the sage of the six paths even, long ago a man found this book and he managed with our help to use part of the book's knowledge to battle and defeat that wicked man, however he didn't managed to kill him as the evil one escaped and while weakened, he is still as powerful as ever thanks to his accursed eyes, the man who used the book was Harashima Senju the first Hokage and your distant cousin" she said to the boy's shock

"I'm... related to the Shodaime Hokage?" Naruto asked with a soft whisper

"Barely my child, you see your mother hailed form a clan that was distant relatives of the Senju both descendants of the sage of the six paths who himself is descendant or Vortigern, but that's beyond the point, You my child have the thickest druidic blood I've seen in ages and I was afraid you would have to face that man alone, but now you are here, now I can teach you the ways of the ancient Druids"

"B-But Gaia-sama how can I a child, face a Man that not even the Shodaime managed to defeat" Naruto exclaimed worried

"Naruto the reason you can read the book is because you are a descendant of the last great Druid blessed by all of the first gods, you can wield the powers of old even greater than those used by the Shodaime since he couldn't read more than a bit of the book, you can read it all but be aware Naruto that book only contains the way of the Nature and Druidic teachings of Nature, you will Need to find the other books hidden through the world that hold the knowledge of the other Druidic disciplines" Gaia said while putting a hand on Naruto's shoulder "Now my child put on those robes grab a hold of the staff and follow me we will have to shorten the time to learn to only a month if you wish to help save your homeland"

Naruto nodded and took the staff by the table and the clothes that lay on the shelf he marveled at the soft material that the robes were made of and put them as he did he noticed a couple of tears in the fabric, he was about to tell Gaia when he felt something crawling up his robe when he looked down he noticed lots of little spiders that were repairing the damage in the fabric with their silk Naruto was slightly afraid of it but shook his head and continued following Gaia

Naruto followed the goddess through the tunnels that were now illuminated and they came unto a large cavern "Here my child we shall begin your training into a druid but first we have things to do"She said as she took a knife decorated by the same continuous lines "This dagger will purify your blood and put you in harmony with Nature draw your blood with that dagger" she said as she handed it to Naruto who gripped the blade

Naruto gulped and looked at the blade nervously but after the warm gaze of Gaia calmed him he gripped the handle and quickly slashed open his palm the blood flowed free from the wound for only a second before being absorbed by the blade, Naruto Marveled at how the Wound glowed green before closing leaving behind not even a mark, his attention quickly was diverted as the blade and handle of the dagger receded into the guard and the whole device splitting in half taking the form of two bronze discs with the same emblem that was engraved into the wooden door

"Good my child from now on you are my herald, you speak for me and Nature will obey you as long as you respect it Now let us begin your training please assume a meditative position" Gaia said as Naruto nodded and began his month long training

Konoha Chunnin exams stadium- 1 month later:

"People of Konoha! Honorable guests! We are gathered here to bare witness of the young shinobi talents of our villages and how they shall strive to advance in the ranks and become Chunnin in service of peace may the chunnin exams begin!" The sandaime hokage announced before sitting with the Kazekage to his right and with an invisible Jirayia on his left

"Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuuga Neji please come down and take your places your match is about to begin!" came the voice of Shiranui Genma

Neji arrived at the stadium floor but there was no sign of Naruto scoffing at the loser's cowardice Neji petulantly spoke to Genma "Proctor obviously my oponent was too much of a coward to even appear just declare me winner already I was fated to win anyway"

Genma narrowed his eyes at the arrogant Hyuuga "I'm sorry Neji-san but I must give him 5 minutes before deciding what to do with your match"(3) he said before he got a pleasant chill up his spine getting him in calm "though I get the feeling those 5 minutes wont be necessary" he said when the ground shook and roots came out of the ground crating a small dome

When the roots receded into the ground two cloaked figures were standing there one was short the size of a child around Neji's age, the other was a tall wide figure even bigger than Jiraiya of the sannin and apparently much more muscular leafs swirled in the wind when the short figure spoke "Wulver please take a seat in the participants platform" came the voice of a boy

"Yes Naruto-sama" answered the taller figure in a rough masculine voice before the figures simply blurred from sight and appeared in the participant stands next to a startled shino and a shocked shikamaru

"Uzumaki Naruto reporting for the Chunnin exams sir" came the calm voice of the cloaked figure as he began fidgeting within his cloak

"So you came after all? I'm surprised, you should just forfeit right now and save both my time and your humiliation I am fated to win today" Neji haughtily replied

"The is no fate Neji-san, only choice we are the consequence of our actions and the actions of those that surround us as it stands right now in my eyes you are weak perhaps those precious eyes of yours are not as good as your clan claims" came the calm voice of Naruto

How dare he speak to him about fate! And to mock his eyes was blasphemy he would teach this loser how fate was absolute were the thoughts of a furious Neji who was about to start his bloodline

"Calm down Hyuuga wait for me to begin the match" came the response of Shinanui Genma as he felt Neji's intentions "as I was saying both participants are present and as such I declare the first match of the Chunnin exams active, Hajime!" the proctor said as he performed a quick shunshin and stepped to the side of the stadium


A/N: Yes I know this is completely nuts, I am aware I'm using odd European folkloric creature with Greek gods and Celtic druids but the matter of fact is no one knows what the hell did druids actually worship and all Neo-Druids worship Gaia(Greek protogenoi) as mother earth and I always liked British folklore the Korrigan is a Breton creature while the Bauchans are Celtic ones, a third creature was mentioned (try and guess what is it cookie for the first to figure it out) anyway I made it all up so don't expect it to make cultural sense

(1) This Means Summoner I think I actually took it form final fantasy but I have no idea if it is correct

(2) The written name of a summoner is red while the summoner is still alive why the blood blackens once he/she dies(I made that up but it served its purpose)

(3) I figured he gave Sasuke 5 minutes to present his match before disqualifying him when he was told to postpone his match and at the actual match he gave another 5 minutes before Sasuke and Kakashi appeared
