Title: The Messenger of Heaven

AN: This is the first chapter please enjoy it. To the old readers of this story not much was changed or added. Many voted to add Touka and the SKM heroines so I did. I also heard about your complaints for adding a Naruto character so I won't. After this one, AN will mostly be compromised of either wise or unwise sayings of my own creation, helpful information and other stuff. Some rants here or there, though.

Warning this is rated M for a reason and if the "Koihime Musou" crossover hadn't tipped you off then I'm going to say it. There will be suggestive sentences and lines of the sexual kind. So if you don't like those stuff, don't complain to me about it. I warned you already.

Summary: Even after the Fourth Shinobi War and the Elemental nations were starting a new era of peace, trouble seems to never stop gravitating towards our favorite blond shinobi as he is sent to another world due to unforeseen circumstances. Suddenly finding himself with the role of being the Messenger of Heaven, how will he fair bearng a duty similar to his dream while finding a way back home. If he ever wants to go back home, that is.

Chapter 1: Prologue – The Start of it All

_-Konoha-_

*Sigh*

"Man, it's been a long time since something exciting happened. Maybe I should take a D-rank mission? Wait, what? The hell's wrong with me? How bored am I that I even thought about getting a D- rank? Something's got to be wrong with me." Naruto mumbled to himself while taking in the sight of all of Konoha and sitting down in a relaxed meditative position on top of the Fourth Hokage's Monument.

The blonde mentioned was now 18 years old and gone was the cheeky brat, now in his place was a young man who has lived through the good and the bad of life and has been molded by years of experience. Nah, just kidding. The brat is gone, but the cheeky part is still there. His face was much leaner and defined. His hair was cropped shorter. He was currently wearing a black uniform-style jacket with an orange zipper that ended slightly below his hip and featured several buttons on the waist and sleeves to allow him to fold up the left sleeve and rear coattails, orange pants with the length that reached the area above his ankle, black open-toed combat boots, a red armband with an Uzumaki swirl, cloth wraps that covered his right arm and both feet and still shows his fingers and toes, there are two ninja pouches strapped to the left side of his lower body, the cloak he got from Ma and Pa (The elder sage toads) was customized to be a cape. He wore his hitaite on his forehead while the Toad Sage hitaite was customized to look like a shoulder pad for his right shoulder. Lastly, the Toad Summoning scroll was strapped to his lower back, just like his teacher's.

After the shinobi alliance have won the Fourth Shinobi War, he was hailed as one of the heroes of the Elemental Nations. His name was known throughout the land and not many dare to cross his path. Stories about him are already becoming like that of legends. He strikes fear to those who dare to oppose him or to those who would be foolish enough to rouse his ire. But right now he was facing one of his strongest arch-enemies, boredom. He didn't know what else he can do with his life except maybe to become hokage which would not happen until after a few more years after Kakashi's term according to Tsunade. But come on, he was a man of action. He wasn't suited for peace. Being always in life or death situations would do that to you. He really needed to release some pent-up stress and the accumulated awesomeness contained within him that keeps on building up every second.

He thought about hanging out with his friends, but figured they're too busy with their own lives. Well, it's a given that they would be busy after the Fourth Shinobi War.

Sakura is now the head of the Konoha Hospital. She is busy directing the hospital staff along with the help of her assistant Moegi. Sai is now an Anbu, always watching the hokage in the shadows and doing S-rank missions from time to time. Kiba is training to become a clan head and he also joined the hunter-nins. He is to become clan head once Tsume decides to retire. Shino is also training to become clan head, but apparently he is an academy teacher for now. Surprisingly enough, the bug-expert nin confided in Naruto that he was actually quite fond of teaching academy students. Hinata, surprisingly is the current clan head of the Hyuuga. She's been working on uniting the main family and the branch family with the help of Hanabi as her advisor in training. Lee is now a Jounin-sensei much to the ire of his students' parents. Tenten is the owner of the weapons shop her parents left her when they died in the war, although because of the peace her shop seems to be in the red. Ino is an assistant to her father in the Torture and Interrogation force. Chouji has taken from being a ninja and decided to take over their family's barbeque restaurant at the moment. Shikamaru is now the Jounin-commander. He replaced his father when her mother forced him to, though he was still lazy as always. Sasuke was still in probation with his chakra sealed. The probation would last for about three more years and after that, he would be evaluated if he is still fit to be a ninja. The last time he talked with his brooding friend, the Uchiha had said that he'll take on the job of Jiraiya which means just wandering around and reporting back. Naruto was glad that Sasuke decided to become an ally rather than an enemy. All in all his friends have something they do while he was still lost on the road of life and he hasn't even been promoted yet.

"I can't believe I'm still a Genin after all this years." He sighed. His life was pretty dull now compared to before. "Maybe I should focus on becoming a Chuunin."

He was broke off from his thoughts when he heard something. "Oi, Naruto, if you don't stop talking to yourself, people will think you're crazy." A voice said from behind him.

"It's about time, Kakashi-sensei! Just because baa-chan chose you to be the sixth Hokage doesn't mean you're allowed to be late." Naruto shouted from his position as he stood up.

Facing Kakashi and pointing at him, the blond continued. "And I'm not going crazy. I'm talking to myself because somebody made me wait for freaking two hours before he came and another god damn hour to show up! I sensed you from that tree you perverted bastard! You were reading that book of yours the whole time! You said to meet here at six o'clock am sharp, not nine!" He finished with a huff as crossed his hands.

The scarecrow showed an eye smile while saying. "I'm glad to see your sensing skills haven't dulled a bit. For my excuse I was helping an old wom-" Kakashi was about to say before he needed to dodge a kunai that almost nicked his left cheek."If I didn't know any better I would think that you wer-" He continued only to be interrupted again by a poof from behind. Turning around he saw another Naruto about to punch him on the face. He was too late to react so he shut his eyes waiting for the inevitable. He waited, but instead of feeling a punch, he felt that his pocket was much lighter. He opened his eyes to see Naruto holding his beloved treasure dangling it above his other hand which already had a charged rasengan on it.

"Hehehe. You see this Kakashi-sensei? Once I release my grip "poof" you can say bye-bye to this book. This is a fitting punishment for your crimes. Tell me sensei, will this kind of thing still happen again?" The blonde shinobi said with a smirk.

"No! Please forgive me Naruto-sama, it won't happen again! Please give me back my precious! I'll even back out from becoming Hokage just don't let the book get harmed" Kakashi pleaded. He was holding on to Naruto's leg with tears flowing from his eyes. Poor fellow.

"I'm not sure Kakashi-sensei. The hokage offer sounds tempting, but maybe I should just shred it so you would learn your lesson" Naruto said then chuckled. This will show him not to bother people with his tardiness.

"Please Naruto! Please! Please! Please! Please! Please! Please! Plea-"

"Alright already!" He tossed the book to Kakashi who caught it and hugged it like a deranged lunatic.

"Yes my precious. Everything's going to be alright." He said creepily

"Kakashi-sensei, you really need to fix that habit of yours. By the way, do you remember that move I used on you? I think the last time I used it was during the C to B rank mission to wave, how times have passed. Anyway, what did you call me for Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked

Kakashi hid his book in his pocket again and coughed.

"About that Naruto, we have been ordered by Tsunade-sama to go to Uzushio to locate and retrieve an artifact said to belong to the former Uzukage of the Uzumaki clan. We must do this secretly without others knowing about it." Kakashi replied.

"Why couldn't Baa-chan just talk to me herself for such an important mission? I could've gone to her office earlier, you know. And why was I even chosen?" Naruto asked.

"Because she just found out about it while browsing through the old files and from the description in the file it contained an unknown energy and held an even mysterious power. Second, she also said that you might find something of importance, clan scrolls, heirlooms and similar stuff there while we're searching for the artifact." Kakashi said. "Now, go get ready for the mission. We'll meet at the main gate at 3:00 in the afternoon. Be sure to pack more food than just ramen" He eye smiled then disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

*Sigh*

"At least I won't be bored anymore" Naruto said to himself. He then made a hand sign before he too disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

_-Naruto's Apartment-_

Naruto readied all the things he needed on top of his bed. Kunai, shuriken, ninja wire, ration pills, 3 sets of his clothes and a bunch of cup ramen. He sealed them all in a scroll and hid the scroll in the seal tattoo on his palm. Looking at the table drawer beside his bed, he bid the three pictures of Team 7, Jiraiya and his parents. After that he went out and locked the door. Scanning his surroundings a bit, he searched for the nearest roof and set off. He jumped through the roofs heading towards the main gate.

_-On the way to the main gate-_

After a few roof jumps, the blonde finally came near the main gates. Deciding to slow down a bit he jumped to the ground and settled on walking. While taking a stroll a scrunchy old voice has called out to him.

"Hey you, the blonde kid" an old woman called out to him. Judging by her attire she looked like a fortune teller.

"What's up, obaa-san? Is there something you want?"

"Would you like your fortune told young man?"

"Umm, I'm kinda busy at the moment and I don't have any money so..." Naruto scratched his head

"Don't worry young man. It's free." The old woman said with a smile

Thinking that it wouldn't do him any harm to have his fortune told, he thought he'd just go with it. Plus it's free.

"Alright obaa-san, lay it on me."

"Very well young man, give me your hand." The old woman said as she gestured her hand for his.

As the old woman held on to Naruto's hand, she closed her eyes and muttered words that the blonde shinobi didn't understand. After a couple of seconds, the old woman suddenly opened her eyes and her face became serious.

"Hmm, you have a very interesting future ahead of you, young man."

Curious, Naruto decided to inquire the fortune teller. "What does it say, obaa-san?"

"It's a secret." The old woman smiled wryly

"C'mon, 'baa-san. Don't leave me hanging here."

"Well I don't want to ruin the surprise so I'll just give you a hint. Listen carefully."

The old woman coughed before continuing.

"You, who has been encumbered throughout life
Will find yourself forced to carry another burden
You will experience more hardships and strife
And may even find yourself disheartened

A goal will be set to give a finish line to a race
A dream to sustain yourself through the madness
Joyous moments are nothing more, but a flash of light.
To temporarily illuminate the incoming darkness

There are others who will accompany you in your journey
Occasionally bumping into one another
The bonds you form will help you down the path less lonely
but eventually, you will lose them and

In the end, even if you overcome the darkness
Your victory will still bring defeat
Cherish the short intervals during the quest you have with others
but be prepared to walk alone in the end."

The old woman finished by closing her eyes and breathing a sigh of relief.

"Be prepared to walk alone in the end..." Naruto turned around to think. He did his thinking pose for a moment and after a while he gave up. "Hey obaa-san, what did you mean about..." He turned to face the old woman, but he was shocked to see her gone. He thought about trying to find her, but it was almost time to meet-up with his sensei. He just took a note in his mind to find her after his return.

_-Konoha's Main Gate-_

Naruto stood near the entrance waiting for Kakashi. It's been a long time since he was sent out to the field. He remembered the last time he went out of the village was six months ago because of a special mission requested by Koyuki, The current daimyo of Spring Country. It was a request that he would star as the male main character in her new movie The Icha Icha – Yuusha (Hero) which was the last book Jiraiya ever published. At first he wanted to decline because he thought that there would be better actors than him, but Koyuki insisted leading to Naruto admitting defeat. Because of that reason, he was tricked by Koyuki that they were going to practice their roles in the movie at her house. That was the first time he saw a naked girl without being smacked. It was also the first time he lost his virginity. He tried to hold back a nose bleed as he remembered what happened.

_-Flashback-_

A naked Naruto was lying on a bed, blushing red like a tomato with a naked Koyuki on top of him massaging his chest.

"Wha-what a-are you do-doing Koyuki-chan?! I don't think that any of this is part of the script!" He panicked. He didn't know what to do.

Koyuki leaned slowly to his left ear and whispered seductively. "Don't worry about it Naruto-kun. It's not exactly on the script, but it's close. Just enjoy the ride. I know I will, Yuusha-kun~."

_-Flashback End-_

After that encounter that lasted for four hours he was complimented by Koyuki for his larger than average size and his monstrous stamina. Another one happened when Koyuki suddenly dragged him to her room after the actual shooting. Good thing the movie only showed skin and not actual sex. He couldn't handle the embarrassment if it was.

There was also a time when he was visited by Shion, The head priestess of Demon Country. She came with the intention to know more about Naruto's home. She booked a mission for him to show her around the village. Let's say, the only tourist spot they went to that day was his apartment, specifically, his bedroom.

_-Flashback-_

Naruto was looking at his fridge to see what he could offer Shion, while she was waiting in his bedroom. After confirming the contents of his fridge, he went to tell the priestess.

He opened the door to his bedroom and said. "Shion-chan, what do you want to eat? Don't expect anything fancy now. The only food I have ar-"He was cut short when he saw Shion naked sitting on top of his bed in a seductive position (She was hugging her one leg while letting other one dangle. Imagine that). He was so shocked that he was rendered speechless.

Shion stood up and strutted slowly towards Naruto sexily swaying her hips with predatory smile and a hint of lust in her eyes. She stopped in front of the blonde and put her hands on his chest as she closed in to the blonde's face. His and her face were only inches apart that they could feel each other's breathes, watching the rise and the fall of their chests. Her hand made its way towards the zipper of the blonde's jacket then she slowly unzipped his jacket and said. "What I want to eat is you Na-ru-to-kun~." She finished with a wink

_-Flashback End-_

That was a very satisfying day for him and for her. The day after that he received many complaints from his neighbours about a loud noise and that they couldn't sleep. Shion had sent him a message two months later that says he still had his promise to keep. Good thing, he hasn't planned being a father yet.

But the most memorable one so far was his encounter with Ayame. It was on his birthday and Ayame had invited him to her house. What he expected was a surprise party or something like that, but what he got was a different kind of surprise. Not that he was complaining. Far from it, actually. Of course this happened when Old man Teuchi was in Suna running another branch of Ichiraku's

_-Flashback-_

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

"Ayame! Are you there!?"

"Ahh! Naruto-kun! Wait a sec!"

He then heard hurrying steps and some shuffling noises.

*Click*

"You can come in now!"

"Hey, Ayam- Woah!" He expected some kind of surprise with people suddenly jumping or using shunshin to scare the crap out. He expected many other possible outcomes and even made a list on his mind, but this particular one was not included in that list. Ayame was there in a dogeza position as if she was welcoming her husband from work while wearing only a naked apron.

"Eh- ah-uhmm, what's going on?!" He managed to sputter out.

Ayame looked up at Naruto and just chuckled. She stood up and made her way to him. "What would you like first? Dinner, bath or perhaps… me?" The ramen chef said as she put her hands and held on the blonde's already hardened length through his pants then started stroking it gently.

"Ugh-ah-hah. A-ayame, I know today is my birthday and all, but you didn't have to go this far." Naruto said with hitched breath while blushing madly.

"Don't worry Naruto. We're going much, much further than whatever you can imagine." Ayame whispered in a sultry tone while she swung her hands around the blonde shinobi's neck and put her mouth to his ear near enough to make him feel her heated breath.

_-Flashback End-_

What happened then was something Naruto really hadn't imagined, okay, maybe imagined once or twice. It was the most brilliant experience he ever had in his whole entire life. You know that phrase that Ayame said? The Dinner, bath or me thing? Imagine those three combined together. Still can't imagine it? The clue is 'Ramen'. Damn, what a weird fetish he got.

He had to admit though, that he was the one always getting approached, but having so many years deprived of love he wouldn't really know how to approach someone.

While deep in his thoughts, he suddenly heard a poof, breaking him from his chain of memories.

Kakashi then appeared from the smoke. "Naruto, you ready to go?" Kakashi asked.

"Yeah, let's go." Naruto replied as the gate opened.

_-Outside of Konoha-_

Naruto and Kakashi was currently tree jumping towards Uzushio, east of Konoha. It would take a three day trip to get there or shorter depending on their speed.

"Hey, Kakashi-sensei, what are we looking for anyway?" Naruto asked.

"It is supposed to be some kind of magical mirror."

"What does it look like?"

"Tsunade-sama described that it was made of bronze and is covered with swirled designs."

"What does it do?"

"I don't know and Tsunade-sama doesn't either. But she said whatever its power is, it could be a dangerous tool in the wrong hands. Reports say it can even match or surpass The Sage's tools. Kakashi said eerily.

"If that's so, then what are we waiting for? Let's go faster." Naruto sped up getting ahead of Kakashi.

Kakashi just sighed and followed Naruto's lead.

_-Night time, Near Uzushio-_

The two shinobi were already more or less halfway to Uzushio, but because it was already late they decided to set up camp for the night. Kakashi and Naruto were sitting around a campfire that both of them prepared. The former reading a book and the latter just staring at the campfire.

"Hey, Kakashi-sensei" Naruto said breaking the silence.

"What is it, Naruto?"

"I've been curious. You already finished all of Ero-sennin's books right? So why are you still reading them?"

After hearing the question Kakashi sighed and tilted his head up to look at the stars.

"Ah right, I think I haven't told this to you before, but Jiraiya-sama was a true hero to me. I don't read them just because of the story and the actions involved in the story. I truly idolized him, you know? He was a man's man. Never afraid to speak out and stand out from others. Not afraid to get hurt doing what he does. People may call him a pervert, but he was one of the kindest man I know if not the most. Most keep pointing out his bad habits, but I can't keep count of all the heroic things he has done. There was also a time after your father's death that I wanted to kill myself. I kept thinking that I already failed my team so why should I keep on living. How do you think I got over it? He helped me out through my slump. He introduced me to Icha Icha at that time. For me he was the truest man there ever could be. So that's why I still keep reading his books. To remember his legacy."

Naruto was awed at how his teacher described his god father. True, that he always keeps on berating Jiraiya for not training him and always going out for his 'research', but when he actually thought about it, the three years he spent with Jiraiya not including the training or the research part was as a family. Jiraiya kept treating him like a son, which was what he really craved at the time. Jiraiya truly cared for the blonde and strived to pass on everything he knows. It was a given because he was his god father, but still… What had he truly done for Jiraiya in exchange for that kindness? Achieve peace? No, that was because of the efforts of everybody. So… what did he really do for his god father?

Tears threatened to fall out from the eyes of the blonde ninja.

"I'm sorry, Sensei." Naruto said in a low voice.

Kakashi, hearing his student, turned to him. "Hmm? What for?" He asked genuinely curious.

"You know... For trying to destroy your book earlier."

"Mah, mah. As long as you understand." Kakashi replied with his usual eye smile

"And hey, if it won't bother you, can I borrow your Icha Icha books sometime." The blonde asked while blushing.

This earned a chuckle from the copy ninja. Instead of answering, Kakashi stood up and just pulled out a scroll from his jounin vest and tossed it to Naruto. The blonde caught it while having a confused look.

The white-haired shinobi gestured to the scroll Naruto was holding. "Those contain all of the books Jiraiya-sama has ever published. Take care of them, okay?"

"But isn't this precious to you?"

"Don't worry. I got two more back-ups at home. As long as I can spread Jiraiya-sama's greatness, it's worth-it." Kakashi then turned around and headed for his tent. "Now get some sleep. From our pace earlier, I could say we'll arrive at Ushio tomorrow night."

_-Uzushio-_

Naruto and Kakashi both arrived the next day at night time. They had figured to split up and search for the artifact so that the search can go faster.

Naruto looked around the ruins of his clan's village trying to find the mirror. He searched everywhere in his vicinity, but was all he saw were ruined buildings and pieces of broken furniture. While searching though, he came across a path so he decided to follow it to know where it would lead. The path was lined with trees and the ground was paved with concrete.

*rustle*

"…Hm?" Naruto looked around. "I think I heard something. Is that footsteps? Kakashi-sensei shouldn't be on this side."

Naruto hid himself above the trees to see who it was that he heard. The approaching footsteps were getting louder and louder by the second. Gradually, a person with white hair wearing a cloak came out of the lined trees ahead and came into view. He was holding a mirror that looked exactly like what Kakashi described.

Naruto jumped down from the trees in front of the cloaked figure. "Wait!" Naruto shouted.

"Who the hell are you? What do you want from me?" The cloaked figure asked

"I don't want anything from you. My business is what you're holding in your hands." Naruto pointed to the bronze mirror held by the cloaked figure. "Hand over the mirror and nobody gets hurt. That thing is dangerous if left in the wrong hands."

Pocketing the bronze mirror the cloaked figure suddenly lunged at Naruto. The blonde surprised by the assault, dodged to the side.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?!"

"You're in my way." The cloaked figure said, he then continued to strike Naruto with straight jabs.

"Whoa! Stop that! I don't want to hurt you, but if you don't stop attacking me, there will be hell to pay!" Naruto said while continuing to dodge the cloaked figure's assaults.

"I don't intend to. Just shut-up and die, you stupid nuisance." The cloaked figure then launched a series of kicks.

'Man this bastard's kick is like a slightly weaker version of Baa-chan's. It still hurts a lot though' Naruto thought as he gritted his teeth and caught one of his kicks. He captured the leg and then spun around while holding the cloaked figure's leg to throw him towards a tree. As the figure made contact with the tree, the tree's trunk shattered and the figure fell downwards.

"Not bad." the cloaked figure said as he stood back up. "I think I may need to get serious." He lowered his body and raised his closed fists in line with his stomach. Suddenly the atmosphere around him changed. The cloaked figure was surrounded by an aura of dark flames and was showing off large amounts of his killing intent.

"You don't have anything to do with this. If you don't want to die, just go away. This is my final warning." The cloaked figure threatened. As he said that, Naruto felt the cloaked figure's power building up to dangerously high levels. But the blonde shinobi isn't someone who would just back away from a fight.

"I don't know your reason for doing this, but now it has got something to do with me. That mirror is practically my inheritance so just hand it over." Naruto narrowed his eyes.

"You still won't listen, huh? Alright, it's your choice." The cloaked figure put his arms in an X shape with his hands closed, the dark flames that surrounded his body started concentrating towards his hands creating an ethereal black sword.

Naruto, not letting the man finish whatever he was doing, gone through a series of hand signs, took a deep breath and let it out in one blow. "Wind Release: Drilling Air Bullet."

The ball of wind made its way to the cloak figure with staggering speed, but before it could hit, the figure made a slashing motion with both his arms. "Yin Art:Twin Dark Crescent Blade." A blade made of black flames was released and had sailed through the air as fast as the blonde's attack.

Both attack hit each other creating a small explosion between them, kicking up dust and creating a smoke cloud that hindered both of their vision.

Naruto waited for the smoke cloud to fade, but the figure then suddenly burst out of the smoke cloud thrusting his hand into the blonde's chest. The figure grinned thinking that it's over, but when he looked at the blonde's face, he expected it to be in pain or anguish not a smirk. The clone exploded creating a vacuum of wind in its spot (Wind Release: Exploding clones).

"Hurray for Exploding clones." Naruto thought in his hiding spot.

The cloaked figure was blown away by the sudden force. After regaining his ground, he steadied himself. 'Good thing I strengthened my body with Chi. That attack would've been fatal.' The figure looked for the blond in the vicinity, but saw no one. He felt the wind shift at his back so he turned around and saw the blond with a spiralling sphere on his hand. The figure dodged the attack barely before he slashed Naruto's side. He quickly jumped away as the blonde exploded into another vacuum of wind. The blonde was once again out of sight. His use of clones irritated the figure. Naruto deciding to come out exploded off the ground with a rasengan in his hands, but now with wind covering it.

"Wind Release: Rasengan!"

The figure saw the attack, but was unable to dodge so he did the next best thing. He blocked the attack with his Chi- enhanced bladed hands. The force of both their techniques sent them off in opposite directions and both landed on their feet.

Naruto's eyes suddenly changed, showing that he got into his sage mode. He started charging for a rasenshuriken, while the cloaked figure cocked back his arm and started gathering black energy in his fist. Both released their attacks with a shout. "Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!/Yin Art: Dark Endless Spear!"

The blond threw a spiralling sphere with a shuriken in the middle while the figure thrust his fist extending the enormously enlarged black blade towards the blond. None of them noticed that the mirror had fallen from their clash earlier until it was too late. Their attacks met creating another explosion much larger than the last one and leaving another smoke cloud also larger than the last one. After a few moments when the smoke cloud settled they saw the bronze mirror within a crater, the glass broken and the metal bent.

Seeing this, the figure shouted. "Shit, why now?! How dare you do this to me?!"

"What do you mean me?! You're the one who suddenly attacked me!" Naruto snarled.

"You don't know anything so shut up!"

They both launched again towards each other, one holding a rasengan, another preparing his bladed hand. The fight was disrupted though, when the shattered mirror started glowing.

"Damn, it's already starting." The cloaked figure muttered.

The glowing light from the mirror swallowed both Naruto and the cloaked figure.

"What is this? What's happening?" Naruto complained. He tried to move, but found that he couldn't.

"It's no use. You cannot stop it once it has already begun. The curtain has been drawn." The cloaked figure said.

Naruto struggled in vain trying to move. "What are you talking about?!" Naruto panicked.

"Be swallowed up by the light. That is the punishment that has befallen you. Now view the truth of this world with your very own eyes!"

The light expanded enveloping them both. Naruto just stayed there, fading into unconsciousness.

_-With Kakashi-_

He was searching for the along the ruins of Uzushio and he has found nothing so far. A sudden explosion disrupted his search and saw smoke rising from Naruto's direction. He abandoned his search and headed to where he saw the smoke to find out what happened. On his way there another explosion occurred then a bright light shone at Naruto's direction. He quickened his pace more worried than before.

_-At the path-_

Kakashi saw that a large battle occurred judging by the two craters, one larger than the other and a broken mirror in one of the craters. He deduced that it was Naruto that used the attack. He collected the mirror's shattered parts. Now he only needed to find Naruto and ask him about what happened.

_-Two hours later-_

After all of his searching, he still couldn't find Naruto. He already looked everywhere, but still no trace of Naruto. The only thing he got was the scene where the battle happened and the bright light. Deciding that further searching would do nothing, he left Uzushio and headed to Konoha.

'I'll need to go back and report to Tsunade-sama. Wherever you are Naruto, I hope you're safe.' He thought.

Okay, now that's a wrap I hope you enjoyed it. Please read and review. Criticism is okay because I'm always striving to be better, but flames will be ignored.
