Chapter 1:

In an open field, grassy field in the small land of Wave Country lies a young man of 16, staring at the sky. He had bright blonde hair, cerulean, blue eyes, tan skin, and very distinct whisker marks on both his cheeks.

The young man was Uzumaki Naruto, Genin of Konohagakure and he had grown in the two years since the start of his three-year training trip with his master, Jiraiya, The Toad Sannin or as Naruto called him, Ero-Sennin. After his attempt to retrieve his best friend and teammate, Uchiha Sasuke, who had abandoned his old home and friends in favor of power and left to Otogakure under the apprenticeship of Orochimaru, The Snake Sannin, Naruto had agreed to be Jiraiya's apprentice an order to bring his friend back one day but, that wasn't the only reason. An organization known as the Akatsuki were out to capture him for he was the Jinchuuriki of the strongest of the Bijuu, The Kyuubi no Kitsune. Being one of the nine and most powerful of the Bijuu, the Kyuubi was the heart of the Akatsuki's ambition, whatever that could've been. So Naruto trained hard for the last three years, growing stronger and smarter but, never losing his goofy nature and happy demeanor.

His training had exceeded all of Jiraiya's expectations as Naruto had learned many new wind jutsus after finding out that he had an affinity for said element as well as water style jutsus to better compliment his arsenal; he also created a few Rasengan variants as time went on. Arguably one of the best additions to Naruto's skillsets, however, was his learning Sage Mode, a powerful mode though he only used this for a last resort due to some of the flaws that come with using Sage Mode.

Though Naruto had a relatively happy time with his training, during his second year, Jiraiya had confessed to Naruto about him being his Godfather and he also explained to Naruto about his parents, Namikaze Minato, the Yondaime Hokage and Uzumaki Kushina, the Hot Red-blooded Habanero and former Jinchuuriki to the Kyuubi. This news, primarily the revelation that Jiraiya was Naruto's godfather, caused a brief three month fallout between the two where Naruto refused to even look at his sensei but, after a long overdue apology (Along with an ungodly number of bowls of ramen one night) Naruto finally forgave Jiraiya. In addition, after hearing of his father and his accomplishments, Naruto decided to honor him in his own way (not including learning his prized jutsu) so Naruto decided on a change in wardrobe that was more like that of his father's. He now wore white shinobi pants, a black jacket, completely zipped, black shinobi sandals, and a orange cloak similar to his father's only it was orange with black flames with a black Uzumaki symbol on the back to honor his mother and clan. He also changed the cloth to his headband from a short blue to a long black with the tassels reaching the top of his back.

Naruto was currently waiting for his sensei to show up thinking back to the conversation and the reason of why he was in Wave in the first place.

Flashback

"Wait, you want to what? Run that by me again, gaki I don't I heard you right." Jiraiya said as he was eating his dinner at some local diner he and Naruto stopped in while on the road

"You heard right, Ero-Sennin, I'm bored with all this traveling, we've been around the Elemental Nations for the last three years now. I want to see the world beyond the borders, to see if there are other ninja out there or maybe a new type of warrior we've never seen before. I want to see it all." Naruto exclaimed with a huge foxy grin on his face., Jiraiya sighed as he rubbed the bridge of his nose, seriously this kid was so complicated.

"Naruto, what you're asking could either be beneficial or a complete waste of time. No one knows if there is anything beyond the borders. In fact, there is no known record of any shinobi even trying such a feet. Honestly, I think we should just head back to Konoha as scheduled." Jiraiya explained.

"But if there is a world beyond the borders it could be a big help to my training." Naruto began

"Or a complete waste of time." Jiraiya countered, Naruto looked down with a frown on his face, thinking of a way for his kyofu to change his mind. Then it came to him, how could he be so stupid? Naruto gave Jiraiya a foxy grin and leaned over the table.

"But, Ero-Sennin what about your research, you could probably find foreign girls who could teach you something new." Naruto smirked when he saw Jiraiya's perverted grin.

"What are we waiting for, gaki? Come on, Wave Country has a port dock we could probably find someone willing to travel with us." Jiraiya stated jumping up and rushing out the door, leaving an irritated Naruto with the bill.

End flashback

Naruto sighed as he watched the sky waiting for his perverted sensei to come back with a ship captain. After another twenty minutes, Naruto heard someone approaching from behind.

"It's about time you got back." Naruto said irritably

"is that anyway to greet the guy who named our bridge after you?" Naruto blinked, that wasn't Jiraiya but, he certainly knew that voice. Naruto turned around to see a grinning Tazuna along with Jiraiya in the background.

"Tazuna! How've you been/ old man?" Naruto exclaimed as he shook the man's hand

"Pretty good thanks to you, gaki. You helped this country thrive again, you know." Tazuna stated as Naruto scratched the back of his bashfully.

"Aww, it was no problem really, just part of the job." Naruto replied "But what are you doing here anyway?"

"Well your sensei told me about your little adventure trip and I have a crew for you if you're interested." Tazuna explained as Naruto's eyes lit up

"That's awesome, we'll take the offer old man." Naruto stated, Tazuna nodded and brought the two shinobi to the giant whit ship with a full crew. After Naruto met the crew members, Jiraiya pulled him to the side.

"Naruto are you absolutely sure about this? We don't know where we'll end up if anywhere and if we do end up anywhere how long do you expect to hang around?" Jiraiya asked

"I'm sure about this, Ero-Sennin and if by the chance we do end up on land, I want to stay for a bit. It will give me enough time to learn everything I can about the area. And if Baa-chan complains just reverse summon yourself to Mount Myoboku and than the village and give a report." Naruto explained, he certainly planned this out well. Jiraiya sighed, Naruto certainly had his mother stubbornness. After a few more hours of preparation, the crew was ready to set sail. Naruto said his goodbyes to Tazuna and his family who had arrived to see him off. Naruto stood at the front of the ship, looking over the ocean with a grin, ready to set sail to a new world.

"Alright, time to set sail to a new adventure! LET'S GO." Naruto shouted as the ship set sail, heading due west.
