A/N alright I know I said I was going to go through all the worlds with individual chapters, but after my computer crashed I found that it was quite difficult to do so since all my notes for this story were electronically saved, unlike my notes for Chuunin of the Leaf, which I never got a chance to finish. Please forgive and forget.


Chapter two- A Walk down memory lane.


Today was the day. The day that destiny's would be unveiled. They knew their duty, their paths were set, and in this morning they prepared for war…

Naruto woke up early on this day. It felt like a couple of months to him, though here time had not passed in the slightest. He set his materials on his futon and knelt down looking over them. He checked all of the kunai and shuriken he had specially made on Coruscant, which would never break when compared to normal weapons of the Elemental countries.

'Hehe, had to sneak out of the Temple to have these made. By the time they were ready to be picked up it was even harder to sneak out, they were getting used to catching me.'

Next was a small silvery tube he had obtained right before he left. He held the thing gently, not only for the power the weapon held, but for the fact that it had been held by someone he had managed to grow close too. She had been sweet, innocent, and so wonderful of a person.

"FLASH BACK"

Naruto didn't know what was happening, but he felt something. Riko was training with him now, the blue Twi'lk helping him learn how to sense through the force. She would occasionally make a quick motion near him, his job was to sense that motion before it truly happened and counteract it. But right now he could swear there was a sound from the hall… was that a light sabre.

As he looked towards the door she made a jab at him, turning quickly he grabbed her hand right before it connected with him. She had a very pleased look on her face. She was clearly concentrating on the training completely.

"Youngling, you did well! I believe if we keep working on this you will be ready to be a padawan before the month is up. I would be honored if you would be my pa-"

"Riko-sensei" he interrupted, "didn't you feel that? Something's in the hall." His face was a little anxious, he didn't know what he had sensed, it just felt wrong.

"No," she frowned, opening herself to the force more fully, walking close to the door, "Master Windu always advises us to stay focused on the here and now." Naruto had that feeling in the force again and could see the young girl pale visibly. She quickly pulled open out her weapon of choice, the light saber, and stopped dead.

To Naruto it looked as if there was a small dot of blue light from her back, but she had been rammed through with the light saber of for blue. As the door was knocked in, courtesy of the force, and 

the young woman, truly a girl still, was buried underneath it, her unlit sword flying to land at Naruto's feet. The boy just stared on in awe and fear at the sight, bending down to retrieve the fallen weapon as if it would do him any good against a trained force wielder. In the hall was a man, cloaked in darkness, his hair hidden by the hood of his Jedi robes, along with much of his face. The only clear sight was that of his black and yellow eyes.

As the man slowly walked up to him, Naruto could feel the power of the Kyuubi forced into his body, a little voice in his head telling him to move. As the Sith Lord before him lifted his weapon Naruto stumbled back, grasping the metallic tube. As the blade decended it hit nothing but air, as Naruto had fell backwards into the nothingness of the Kyuubi's portal.

"END FLASHBACK"

He hadn't even turned the blade on to see the color, but he still kept the weapon nearby in case he had need of it soon. He might have been an emotional wreck right now if the Fox hadn't taken him to the Land of Spira, a place where he had been able to face the ghost that might have haunted him…

Turning his mind back to the task at hand he took up his next items, three scrolls he had kept in his possession. One scroll was gifted to him by the Lady Yuna. That scroll contained the secrets on how to wield a Zanbato as well as seven of the most powerful techniques known to sword bearers. The other two he had written himself, one on the night he had fought Mizuki, it contained the three jutsu he stole from the scroll. The other scroll contained any information the Kyuubi was willing to give him on his bloodlines. He wished the Fox would give him everything, but the damn fur coat wanted things to be 'interesting.'

He had managed to awaken two of the bloodlines with the help of the fox, the first on the night of the Mizuki fight. Naruto was told by the fox it was called the 'Refiner,' and that he would receive a huge boost in stamina, chakra, speed, strength, and all of his other senses, though they would be 'refined' over a course of a few weeks. He would start noticing things after a few days in his own world.

The other bloodline took a bit more to pry loose.

"OOOO FLASHY!"

Naruto looked up at the tower before him. "The flying Spaghetti Monster's noodlie appendages!"

"What!!" asked the fox, not nearly as distracted as Naruto.

"Sorry, so where are we?" asked the boy as he adjusted his robes, he still had them from Coruscant, they seemed to be made of a wear resistant material and were very comfortable.

"This my stupid little friend, is Earth, at the base of the Tower of Korin. There were once people who lived at the base of this tower but they have long since passed away. In fact there is probably only a couple hundred beings on this planet now, though that is a story for another day when I actually give a damn. Right now all you need to concentrate on it climbing that and getting a sip of Chōshinsui!"

"But I want to know a little more!" said Naruto, pouting to the demon in his stomach. Truly it was an award winning pout, one that would leave little girls weak in the knees

"Um, gaki?" asked the nine tailed demon, a little worried.

"Yes?"

"I don't give a flying fuck. So start climbing!"

"Fine! Just tell me where the stairs are!" to this the fox just started to chuckle, then break into full out laughter, "HEY! What's so funny baka fox?"

"Nothing, nothing!" reassured the fox, "It's just that there are no stairs."

"What? But I thought you wanted me to climb this thing?" he was starting to get a little worried. After what the fox had done to him on Coruscant and Spira he wouldn't put it past him to make the boy climb on hands and feet alone. Oh how right he was.

"You know gaki, you said you wanted to be the Kamikage, that you would take any training I suggested, and, after that experiment with freefalling from the Falcon that you could handle anything that I could throw at you. You also made a Soul Pact that you would listen to my advice. If you disregard what I am telling you then I may be able to take over your body right now. Now I want you to start climbing and you're going to like it!"

Naruto hated it when the damn fox spoke, it had an annoying way of getting its way no matter what Naruto wanted, "FINE! But I won't like it!"

-N-I-N-E-T-A-I-L-E-D—F-O-X-E-S—A-R-E—S-E-X-E-Y--next day at noon--

Korin was amazed at the boy. Sure he had started to slow down a bit, but he was still going steady. As Kami over the Earth he could hear the thoughts of all beings on the planet below, and when two new ones popped out of nowhere at the base of his tower he was interested.

The boy had a being of great power sealed within his body, one that was on a level equal to the warrior Goku when he arrived on Namek all those years ago… and the boys hidden potential was nothing to scoff at either, though he suspected he would never be stronger than even half of what Goku was capable of when he first became a Super Saiyan, even with the Others power added to his own.

Right now, as he entered the home stretch to the towers top, the boy was starting to grasp something the Other was telling him, on how to stick to objects by filling the part of your body you wanted with Chakra… another name for Ki perhaps?

Reading further into the boys thoughts he found dreams, ambitions, fears, and anger. The boy wanted to be a God in the Shadows… a ninja perhaps? Though the only ninja he had heard of were pretenders that Goku had defeated easily when he was a boy. He was feared by and afraid of his own villagers, yet he wanted the love and attention of them anyways. None of it made sense to his furry old head.

Quickly scratching behind his cat ears with his wooden stave, he walked down to greet his first guest in nearly a century. Or would it be 'guest's', there is a voice in his head after all?

As the boy pulled himself up he seemed to be cursing something, "Blackmailing, evil, know-it-all foxes from hell." After that he just seemed to be lying there as if he was dead, only the quick sound of breathing and the raising and lowering of his chest saying otherwise.

"Congratulations!" he said walking over to the boy. Apparently the boy had been expecting someone up here or he might of reacted a little differently. Korin was a little disappointed, he was hoping to get a little more reaction.

Naruto opened his eyes at the voice, "WHAT THE-!" he only got that far because he jumped straight up and bonked his head on the ceiling of the stone temple. That was more like what the biped cat wanted.

"Hello there!" he asked in his scratchy voice, "I am Korin, Kami over the Earth. And you, my friend are Naruto Uzumaki."

As the blonde haired enigma glared up at the cat man he said scathingly, "Thanks! I didn't know!"

"Well then, you seem to have a pleasant attitude. I think a nice walk down the side of the tower would do you well… No you seem quite interesting… Perhaps you would like to tell me why you have visited me today?"

Now Naruto would normally have his usual loud brash and annoying self, except the fox didn't quite agree with this idea. Well fuck, would you mess with god? Would you like to piss off the invisible man in the sky who can smite you with the gunk he pulls out from under his eyes in the morning… I-thought-NOT!

Instead he got down on his knees, grumbling all the way, and bowed before the cat man, "Kami-sama! I humbly request that you would give me a chance to drink from the true Sacred Water, Chōshinsui." Sure, he was only mimicking words that had been said by the Fox as they had climbed the Tower, but he felt he pulled them off pretty nicely. Him and the Fox had had a lot of 'bonding time' while climbing the Tower, and, in that time, since it was the first actual alone time the two had had, the fox demon had told Naruto some of his plan.

"No." was the only word he heard.

"What?" asked the Uzumaki, a little dazed at having climbed the tower and been denied.

"I said 'no' you may not yet drink from Chōshinsui. I need something from you in order to justify it."

"URG!" yelled Naruto as he pointed at the cat, "Come on?! I climbed all the way up here using just chakra and my own body, but you won't let me drink a little water?" huffing, he turned his back to the god, "Fine, as long as you ain't now pedophile freak… what'cha want?"

"Nothing much. Just don't call me a pedophile and tell me please about that amazing thing you have sealed inside your body."

It was said so nonchalantly that Naruto didn't even miss a beat, "HA! That stupid fox ain't nothing special, just a stupid demon that's-" At this point Naruto's eyes were bulging, the Kyuubi in of his majesty was growling at the boy for his stupidity, and Korin… he just scratched behind his ears with the wooden stave again, purring gently.

"What's wrong? Not used to people talking so calmly about it?" Korin couldn't help it, he started reading into the boys mind again, he was so much more intriguing than the sentient beings on Earth 

were… in fact he found the same to be true with what he remembered of Goku and Vegetta's descendents, perhaps it was just those of power that were like this, those who knew the workings of power.

"Yeah," he said cautiously, "Since the only people who talked to me about it were in the middle of a life or death battle, one of which was trying to kill me after tricking me into stealing a powerful object… so yeah, no one's been able to talk calmly about the fox."

"Well, if you want to drink from Chōshinsui, then you need to tell me about it. In return I will let you drink from the water and help you on your way to become Kamikage."

The fox boy just stared at him for a few seconds…

-d-o-y-o-u-r-e-m-e-m-b-e-r-n-e-o-p-e-t-'-s-- Sometime later.

"And that's when I started to climb… That pretty much covers it. I don't know too much about the fox itself… it hasn't even said a word while we've been talking. It seems a little touchy about its power, I mean it flipped out on me when I mentioned trying to use its Aura…"

"Now that, Naruto, is a very interesting story you tell… one I don't know quite what to make of it. The power of the fox is truly impressive compared to the power of normal humans trained in the ways of Ki, what you call chakra. Though I have seen beings with much, much greater, it is still powerful. At this point, if you were to release the full power of the fox alone, directed at the planet itself, it would be destroyed. At the very least your Elemental countries would be nothing but a dent in the ground filling with water. But enough of this, it is time."

"Time, time for what?" Naruto wasn't stupid, he had just gotten so caught up in talking of the fox that he had forgotten why he came here in the first place.

"Why, time to drink of the sacred waters, Chōshinsui. If you don't want it anymore than just tell me and I will send you on your ways."

The boys eyes widened as he remembered why he was to climb the tower in the first place. "Right, right, well, we better get started then. The Kyuubi had told me that this would take a little while, though I don't know why."

"Oh, that? Well… perhaps it is better for you to drink it first and then I shall tell you the secret of the water." In a few minutes the cat god returned with a small tray, a plain tea cup and pot sitting on it. Pouring a glass Korin spoke, "Now your going to want to drink it all at once or you won't feel the full effects, and if you drink it once then you can never try again. Here," he said handing Naruto a full cup, Chugging it down swiftly naruto put the cup back and his eyes bulged. With two big eye smiles Kami then gave his blessings, "Hopefully you survive!" Then Naruto fell down into a fetal position from the massive amounts of pain. Brining up a chair Korin sat in watch, a silent vigil through Naruto's long night…

-T-H-E-F-O-X-E-S-P-O-I-N-T-O-F-V-E-I-W



As the powerful poison that was Chōshinsui, flowed through Naruto's veins the Nine-Tailed-Fox prepared his chakra for what he was going to do. The first night Naruto heard of the fox he was so distraught that the path between the Fox demon and Naruto's chakra's opened completely, allowing undiluted demonic power to flood into his body, altering his genes in a way. Since it was such a brief burst of power all it did was turn on one set of chromosomes, the ones that he was genetically predisposed to, The Refiner, changing it from a recessive gene to a dominate one . Any less power or amount of time active and Naruto would likely have never awoken the Refiner or been able to even talk to the Kyuubi… he would have been normal you could say.

The Kyuubi knew this, and as such, knew that he could use his chakra to activate and change the kids other possible bloodlines. The only problem being that he couldn't force his chakra directly into the kid like that and it would takeyears of meditation to get Naruto into such an open position again anyways. By then it would be too late, bloodlines needed the body to be in a state of constant change for bloodlines to become active, thus birth, puberty, or through a third more powerful party. The Kyuubi was that party in this case, though he needed a medium to work through. The Poison that ran through Naruto's veins was that medium.

"First thing, let's get a closer look at the Refiner. The kid may think I know a lot about it, but I only glimpsed at it that night." Needless to say, he was less than impressed, "My GOD! The kid's crawling out of the shallow end of the genetic pool! Lets see what I can do here… interesting. Well he'll be tall, strong, fast his senses will be beyond anything even I could do, he will run on like the Energizer Bunny, and his chakra will be like a waterfall… I could go farther than this, but I want to work on the others. Let's just add this then, a time frame, otherwise it'll all come on him too fast and he'll die from the strain."

Now the Kyuubi looked at his other two bloodlines. One was something that was incomplete and would have taken generations before it even became anything. The other on the other hand was his father's bloodline, one that seemed to skip a generation or two. "Damn, a chakra based bloodline! These are rare... and none I have ever heard of does this. If my chakra control didn't suck like shit then I would be able to do something more with this, but as it is should wait to mess around with it, I don't want to cripple the kid. Lets move on."

Looking to check on Naruto's body he found that his chakra, as it always did, just seem to keep him alive and fight the poison. "I don't want the poison to all be destroyed though, or I won't have any medium to work through. The kid will be in a little pain but I think I should tone down my chakra a little… He'll live through it, he's tougher than I was at that age.

Next was the Doejutsu. Having been able to use chakra to alter his sight while alive the Fox already knew how to do this pretty well. "It seems that mixing the enhanced senses of the Refiner with the chakra power of his father's bloodline would have eventually created a bloodline, though it would have taken thousands of years before it would have awoken as anything more useful than a change in color. But with me working behind the scenes it will be great!"the great fox started to work his magic now, talking to himself as he worked, "I've had great ideas for this thing ever since I read it in his 

genetics. A doejutsu that is completely malleable to what I want it to do! Forget the Uchiha, and the Hyuga, and the training of the Jedi, and that damned sage with his ringed eyes - I have this! A doejutsu that will beat them all, without ever being any of them."

Silently the fox worked from this point, concentrating on creating an eye that would evolve with the owner. Once again so as not to open a can of worms by hurting the possessor. When It was done the foxed looked over once more. "Beautiful…"

"Looking on at Naruto one more time he realized that Naruto would awaken soon, his own chakra now fighting against the weakened poison as well. "Shit! I haven't even touched the other bloodline!"

Racing over through Naruto The fox began to alter the boys genes, trying in vain to activate the bloodline. "GOD DAMN IT! His body is developing an immunity to me touching his genetics! With me so focused on the eyes I didn't even notice it. While that portion remained weak to my influence the others were being strengthened!" Flying around like a he was possessed… which is kind of ironic if you think about it, the Bijuu could feel himself forcefully removed from its containers blood and back behind the seal.

Staring out through the boys eyes all that was heard was a simple, "Damn that was close!"

-K-I-L-L-F-U-R-B-Y Back to the baka

As Naruto awoke all he could feel was a dull aching from… well from everywhere really. The only thing that actually hurt were his eyes. Looking up he could see Korin, still looking without expression as he had since meeting the boy.

"Well that's interesting." Were his only words, simple and straight to the point as usual.

"And what would that be." He asked as he covered his eyes in his arms, the pain slowly dying away, though too slowly for the blue eyed shinobi. He felt like he could feel the ground all around him, and it was starting to make him sick.

"I think It would be best if you looked for yourself, there's a pot of clean water over there." He said pointing over to a row of blue stone pots.

Lifting off the wooden cover of one of the pots Naruto peered inside, looking at his own face… it was the exact same face, the same whiskers, the same tanned skin, the same blue and black eyes with triangular iris', and the same… 'Wait a minute, that ain't right!'

Yes, now Naruto's eyes were changed to signify his new bloodline limit. The Iris remained the same natural blue except now the iris was in the shape of a triangle. In addition the whites of his eyes where black as midnight and the pupil itself was so small it was near impossible to see.

Looking at the eye only brought on a further bout of nausea as he felt the ground all around him. Hell he swore he could even feel the pot he looked in, even Korin now that he thought about it.



"Fox!" he said out loud, not caring how crazy he might have sounded to Kami before him. "Fox what did you do to my eyes? And how do I make it stop, or else I'm going to be sick?"

"Nothing much gaki, just gave you a bloodline that can tromp anything else I have ever seen."You could practically feel the pride in his voice, it was the same feeling as when he talked of his own powers.

"So whats it do then?" he asked trying to get used to the feeling he was having.

"Well imagine being able to feel the entire world around you, every person, every building, every single stone. What have given you is the ability to FEEL everything around you, just like you were actually touching it. At this point it will be like your holding something that had a thick layer of silly puddy around it, vague blobs than actual shapes, but that will change as the eye grows. The more it grows the clearer everything will be. Just don't think it will all be easy though, I made this eye so you will have to train your ass off for it to even be used practically. If you are not aware of what you are feeling, or what your supposed to be feeling then the eyes will be useless to you. Also, and this is very important, you do NOT see things, you are feeling them. As such you can't tell your friends from your enemies… for the moment, as things become clearer for you, you will start to recognize peoples shapes and sizes, and hopefully, though this may be hard for you, follow where they are by sense alone. This is all I will tell you for now, I want you to figure out the rest by yourself."

Naruto was simply dumb founded by what he was told. Suddenly he realized he COULD feel everything. Looking at Korin, who was once again scratching himself he realized that he could feel the general size of Korin and that there was something there, but that was it. The only abnormality was the fact that his stave was taller than he was and almost felt like a chimney off of the god.

"Woot."

"FLASHBACK-- Billy NNOO- would you look at that. Ain't that purdy.-- END"

Naruto hadn't been able to come up with a name for the bloodline yet, but he felt like he was on a major breakthrough with his next level.

Moving on he picked up a giant four pointed shuriken, a yellow crystalline orb sitting in the very center, and looked over the other two objects near it, the first was a giant sword, which took up most of the room on the bed, two green orbs set into it near the base. The second was and arm protector that had been specially designed for him, glittering with several purple orbs, two yellow ones and a single green one.. They had all been gifted to him from the only other ninja he had met while planet jumping.

Flash-bang-back-boom



"Now Naruto, are you sure you wouldn't like to stay here and train with me? Truly I think you could reach your full potential if you followed my regimen." Asked Korin as he walked Naruto to the side of his Tower.

"No," he began, "The fox says that there are other places we need to go, more training I need to begin before I can start to specialize."

"Very well, but at least let me give you a kinto cloud to help on your journey. If you are ure of heart it should let you fly on it and take you where ever you request of it."

"I am sorry Kami-sama, but the fox-teme says that I won't need to fly to get where I am going… what! NO! I am not jumping off again! Fine, Fine! Just shut your trap. Sorry Kami-sama, but the fox says we need to leave now."

Waving goodbye to the cat man Naruto simply jumped off the side of the large construct. Feeling the air rush around him he let himself relax so the fox could start to use its chakra and open a portal to another world. That was the requirement for the fox to be able to use chakra, Naruto had to be relaxed. Sure it couldn't effect his body in any way, since there was no direct link, but the fox knew some things like this, how to make a portal.

Feeling the fox's chakra slowly enter his body he noticed that it was moving a little slower than usual.

"Um… fox, you should really hurry up, If you don't make the portal soon I might touch down…"

"I know…"

"And that would be bad…"

"I know…"

"And would really hurt…"

"I KNOW…"

"And we would die awful terrible deaths as soon as we hit the ground, likely splattering against earth sending limbs and my insides all across the country side in a flood of red blood…"

"Don't try and tempt me… Your body has started to build a resistance to my chakra, so its slow work. Hell I spent so much time on the Doejutsu for you that I couldn't even properly activate your fathers bloodline. The best I could do was to make it so you MIGHT activate it naturally."

"What! I went through all of that pain and you didn't even activate both bloodlines well what the hell am I-"

"PREPARE FOR IMPACT!"



With a start Naruto looked down to see a strange red cloud right below him, the portal. Hitting it didn't hurt; it was the sudden loss of motion, the effects of inertia, and his neck being flung back violently that hurt. Gritting his teeth he made himself remember to thank the fox for slowing him down before transporting them. Slowly they began to sink through the cloud until Naruto could see the planet below, a city made with traditional Japanese buildings and red singled roofs. Off to the side was a mountain that looked even more majestic than the Hokage's Monument, with whole bodies carved into the stone as it followed several winding paths.

Now, Naruto could see all of this, because he was sticking out of a cloud, and where do clouds reside? In the sky, very good. Well he had experienced inertia today, time to face gravity and see if he could stand up to its test.

He didn't yell as he plummeted down, near the base of the mountain, since he had fallen from higher heights in Coruscant. All he did was hope that he hit a low laying trail.

As the mountain beside him sped by he saw the trail he hoped he would hit… just as he flew past it. As he did though he saw someone jump too him, with his eye's still active he felt as something small came flying towards him, though what it was he didn't know. Now he felt a rope tighten around his body and his desent suddenly slow down. Swinging inwards he hit the side of the mountain with a thud and was slowly dragged upwards.

Reaching the top he was thrown to the ground, the ropes that bound him where loosened and he heard the concerned voice of a female, "Are you alright? You must have fallen from one of the trails to have been going that fast?"

"Yeah, thank you, though I would have been fine after a while." He responded while rubbing where his arms had been tired by the rope and where his shoulder hit the mountain. Looking up he saw her, a beautiful creature. She wore strange footwear (Sneakers) and long socks. Her shorts, which lived up to their name, were a light tan kaki material. She wore a tight green shirt which showed off her, maturing breasts in a way that was very pleasant to the eyes. She had a head band around her short cropped black hair, with a few eagle feathers sticking out of the back, and had an tan-white arm protector on her left, while the other simply had a striped green arm warmer, and was holding a giant four pronged Shuriken. On her back was a second one, a much nicer one. She had several pouches around her waist and Naruto already knew what they were for. "I am Naruto Uzumaki. Are you a shinobi?"

Getting a sly grin on her face she just did a couple of eye smiles, "Yup, the Names Yuffie Kisaragi!"

For some reason Naruto couldn't help but blush…

"END OF THE BACK FLASH"

He remembered the time he spent with her in Wutai fondly. It was a time he could live among shinobi peacefully, practicing Wushi with Yuffie's students on the outskirts of the city and at the 

beaches. Naruto also knew that he had fallen in love with the black haired kunoichi. They would often walk the streets together late at night and eventually Naruto was introduced to Cloud Strife, a mercenary for hire that Yuffie was close friends with, and Vincent, the man who had designed the arm protector for him.

He had, during one of their 'walks' told her about his scrolls, which she was quite interested in. Of the techniques he had there she had labeled the Rasengan as the only real ninja technique, since it was the only one that could be stealthy, deadly, and quick to execute when needed. The summoning was largely impractical, though if used could destroy a whole island such as Wutai without the need of an army. As for Balefire… she just thought of the implications and shuttered. When he mentioned to her about his scroll full of sword techniques she simply told him, one of those sly grins on her face, that he should have someone how to use a sword.

He didn't just sit idly and let the days pass him by though, he was training like a man possessed. He began to work on the stages of the Rasengan under the tutelage of the fox and some help from Yuffie, who gave him one of her preferred shuriken, with a quite useful stone know as the slash-all material, in the center. According to her all he had to do was channel some chakra into the stone and the shuriken would fly true and fast towards all the enemies in his sight, and since it was mastered it wouldn't be stopped by anything. He didn't know what that meant, mastered, he most certainly wasn't a master at anything to do with the large shuriken, but she said that the sparkling inside the orb meant it had been mastered.

She had originally given him the shuriken so he could practice the first part of the Rasengan, to give your chakra spin. To do this the Yondaime wrote to first practice making your chakra spin horizontally, then at different angles. Naruto had gotten this part easy by using the shuriken. And by placing chakra in his hand at the same time he managed to make the giant shuriken even more deadly, since it would spin like crazy, but wouldn't leave his hand until he sent it flying. They had experimented with so much that they were almost sad to move on to the second part of the 'Spin stage.' For this Naruto's task was to burst a balloon, as suggested in the scroll. Since he had so much practice with spinning his chakra from the shuriken he was able to complete this step in a single night.

At the end of the night Naruto went to give the fifteen year old girl her weapon back and she simply refused, saying she wanted him to have it. Then, taking out a single yellow orb, she placed it right in the center, telling him all about the new Slash-all-Shuriken!

The second step had required him to add power to the spin, which, to his surprise was quite easy compared to how it was described in the scroll. It had told him to use a solid rubber ball and add spin to it in the same manner as the balloon until it too exploded. But when he did he found that the ball was quite easily destroyed. So he moved on to something harder, feeling that he needed to challenge himself. Now using a well shaped rock was much more difficult, something that he had had to work on until he left the island and world all together

He had also been trained extensively in the art of the sword by the man Cloud. Since the scroll Naruto had was for how to use a Zanbato, Cloud felt that he was better off teaching Naruto the basics 

for sword fighting in general and making sure the boy could handle the weight of one before he let him start training with his prized weapon, the Buster Sword. At the end of a month in the mountains with cloud he had managed to win away the man's sword and his choice of any two materia he wanted to go with it…

Then there was his bloodline, which had been aptly named the Oboegan. Yuffie had really been rooting for something a little cooler, but Naruto didn't want to just call it 'the doejutsu' any longer. The Oboegan had, ironically, been best trained in Yuffie's Wushi classes. Since there was so much movement in the classes, which simply taught the forms of martial arts, not the practical fighting, Naruto was often tested on keeping track of many people and objects, the latter was especially true in the advanced classes taught by Yuffie's father, where he had them using real weapons and made them add all sorts of jumps and crazy moves to make sure they were flexible enough to advance on the practical fighting with the other full shinobi in Wutai, of which Naruto had met none. Needless to say he had progressed, though he had made himself not look in a mirror to see how far he was, a… personally test if you would.

Finally the day came when Naruto was to leave. The Kyuubi had told him the night before, when he had mastered the second stage of the Rasengan. That night Naruto had received two gifts, both of which he would hold close to his heart until the day he died.

The first was the arm brace, designed by the red clothed Vincent, a masterful man, who had made the gauntlet to absorb four different elements, and outfitted it with six different material that Yuiffie had hand selected.

The second, while less practical for an aspiring shinobi like himself, was much much better of a present to him; a quiet and heart filled kiss from the young girl, four years his elder. That night he held her close to him while they lay on top of Mt. Wutai.

The next morning Naruto took leave of this world like he did any other, by falling or jumping. Strangly it wasn't a jump that sent him over this time, as he waited for the Kyuubi to tell him the portal was ready, not quite trusting the mountain to be tall enough after his little problem leaving Korin's tower an age ago. No it was a push, or, to be more precise, a glomp.

FLASHBACK NO JUSTU! -- Hey look! Its Gizmo… looks thirsty, someone get him some water!

Standing there on the brown rock of Mt. Wutai Naruto looked down at the sprawling Shinobi city below. As he felt the Kyuubi prepare the chakra necessary for the interplanetary portal. Closing his eyes he activated the Oboegan, not daring to look behind him and lose the resolve to actually leave. These three months here had been paradise to Naruto, but he knew he couldn't stay here. He had a home, no matter how strange it might seem to others, in the Hidden Leaf. He had dreams, ambitions, and obligations in Konoha as a shinobi, something that he could never achive here.

As he felt the for the girl he could feel her sadness, and a touch of anger right next to it, not hidden by it like some emotions could be. That had been one of the new abilities he had managed to 

unlock from the Oboegan, the power to feel emotions. Right in the center of all her emotion though, was something Naruto could only describe as commitment. The girl herself was blurry, like she was covered in a thick layer of clay. He could tell that there was a human there, though gender itself seemed to slip past him, let alone who it actually was. Most people felt like this too Naruto's doejutsu now, not just letting him know there was something there but telling him it was humanoid or not. He couldn't quite feel what they did either, only that a person was doing something at all.

He knew though, that she was crying, he didn't need any bloodline to tell him that… he was crying too though, so it was almost expected on the young girl.

"It's ready kid." Spoke the kitsune, even it was feeling a little saddened, but knew that Naruto couldn't stay here. Testing Naruto's resolve he asked, "You know… we could stay here if you want. You would never grow old and you could train forever undisturbed by the meandering villagers or by shinobi life in general."

"No… I must leave." He said out loud, to answer the fox, convince himself, and let Yuffie know it was time. "I have an obligation to my village as shinobi, and no matter what the villagers have done too me I have an obligation to go back there and prove them wrong about me." He heard a little sob from Yuffie, who had been appalled by the treatment he had received from his own people, "I have to go, otherwise," he began to turn and looked at Yuffie with his eyes now open, the Oboegan active, a small sad smile playing with the tears on his face, "how will I become the Kamikage and create the village of Wutai were I would rule from!"

That had been something they had joked about when he told her his dream, that he would build a village named Wutai in remembrance for her and would rule the world from there as its benevolent Shinobi God.

Staring into his blue eyes a sly smile came on to her face, "Well," she said, her voice straining from all the crying, "I guess I'll have to make sure you keep your promise then."

Naruto didn't know what he felt first, her sadness and anger disappearing to be replaced by that feeling of commitment in whole, or her jumping on top of him, sending both of them over the edge of the mountain where they had been standing. Rocks and earth and faces carved in the mountain side sped past them as they hit the red mist that appeared out of nowhere and was soon replaced by the messy room where Naruto's journey had begun, ten seconds earlier.

Landing with a thud Naruto could feel his sword and shurinken fighting with his kunai to see what would stab him first. But that didn't matter, as right now all he could concentrate on was the feel of her warm body in his arms and her wet lips against his. Unlocking their lips the two looked into each other's eyes until Yuffie finally buried her head into his chest and fell asleep.

"ENDING NO JUTSU!-- awe, isn't THAT CUTE!BUT IT'S WRONG!

Done looking over his equipment he began to change into a spare set of robes he had made in Wutai, in the same style of the Jedi. His under clothing was complete black pants and a black kimono top 

that was very flexible and easy to fight in, just like the Jedi he had seen in Coruscant wearing, with matching black boots. Here he tucked his light saber at his belt and placed two of his ninja pouches, one carrying his alloy kunai and shuriken, the other had his three scrolls which had needed to carry on his person until he had a safe place to hold them.

Then he produced the silvery arm protector, that Yuffie had had made for him, and placed it on his left forearm. Next he brought out his traditional brown over robe, these would be able to hold more equipment, conceal his true identity if he pulled up his hood and could make hitting him harder with the way the cloak billowed when he moved. Over top of that he strapped on the Buster Blade over his left shoulder, one of the two orbs sparkling with a mysterious glint that proclaimed it mastered. The he put on the Slash-all-Shuriken, which went on near his right shoulder. Lastly he placed his hitai-ate around his forehead in the traditional fashion.

Sure, adding more weight to the outer cloak could be a liability, but for the moment the risks were outweighed by the benefits. If he ever needed to remove the cloak he could simply draw his sword and throw the shuriken as a distraction while he removed its added weight.

Taking some standard kunai and shuriken he placed them inside his robes pockets for use if he needed it. Walking out the door, after kissing a sleeping kunoichi goodbye, Naruto prepared for a whole new adventure.

Taking the first step down from his house was pretty interesting for him, It just seemed to remind him of his first time leaving his world for another…

"ffffflllllASHSHSHSSH bACK!"

"Now remember what I said," came the voice of the Kyuubi no kitsune, as Naruto stood in his home, just having learned of the fox, his possible bloodlines, and what he would be training in other worlds, "I need control over your chakra for a minute. Just relax and let go… good, next stop Coruscant."

And with that… nothing seemed to change. Hearing a sizzling sound from his feet, the Uzumaki looked down. Now he saw the portal, because where his hardwood floor should have been was burnt away by the kyuubi's demonic chakra. Below him, though, was not the earth as he would have expected, but a city made entirely out of metal and glass. "Wow, It almost looks like I would fall right through."

"Um… Gaki?"

"Yeah?"

"That is the portal, it is real."

"Oh! Ok, so since I'm… standing… on it…"

"I swear, one of your brain cells just turned to the other one and simply told him 'it is dark in here, and we may die'"

And with that Naruto fell to the city below. Sure he screamed as he fell, but hell, it was still quite a view. In the permanent sunset of the city the gases in the atmosphere made the most 

beautiful sky that had ever been seen, full of oranges and reds and pinks and yellows of all shades. Between the reflective black glass of the tall buildings Naruto could see a temple of sorts, with four tall while towers surrounding a single dome of gold, so beautiful in the setting sun that he stopped screaming just in time to hit the durasteel platting of the landing bay outside the home of Senetor Skywalker-Amidala.

He,ho,flashbackend,hum

Those were some good times!

Looking at the sun as it was cracking over the horizon he threw up his hood and began to walk towards the academy.

It was strange walking around the village, with no able to recognize the boy in his now tame clothing. Sure he missed the orange jumpsuit, I mean who wouldn't, but he liked this feeling he got. It was almost like being accepted.

It was also strange having his Oboegan activated as he walked through the dense population of Konoha. He could feel every single one of them, big ones, small ones, angry ones and happy ones. He could feel killing intent at times when there were raised voices, though never directed at himself. He could also feel people climbing around on the lower roofs and even the sides of some buildings. Naruto knew that they must be ninja, though he could never see any of them. 'Perhapes it's the ANBU I'm feeling. That would explain why I can't find them with my own two eyes.'

Soon the Uzumaki of Konoha arrived at the building he was looking for, a five story building that held every class of shinobi that came to konoha, along with rooms to hold the Chuunin and Jounin exams. On top of the academy was a green house that held all of the plants used for the kunoichi's courses and a little garden where students could relax, spend time together, or eat their lunches.

Entering the building Naruto quickly went to the room where he had spent the past year trying to become a Shinobi of the Leaf. Only a few of the students were there yet and the only ones that seemed to stand out were Shikamaru Nara and Shino Aburame, who were currently playing a game of Shougi.

Shino was a quiet one, to say the least.He always wore a white-green coat that he kept closed tight, and had a pair of scythes that knew how to use in his coat sleeves, though how they stayed there was a mystery. He fell right in the middle of the class, dead center too. The only time his position ever changed was when some of the 'fangirls' decided to make fun of him and taunt him, and brag about how good Sasuke was. So, without saying a word to them Shino let his grades raise up, first academics, then physical, alternating the two periodically. To the teachers it was quite funny, that though everyone thought Sasuke better, Shino had such complete control over his mind and body to manipulate his grades that the Uchiha never had, frustrating because he was a student that refused to give his all, and simply amazing that the boy seemed quite content to do this for revenge when the students in the class were quite ignorant to what he could do. Perhaps Shino just thought it was funny… Shino seemed like the kinda guy that liked to laugh.

The other, Shikamaru was a rugged looking child, with his hair up in a pineapple style. He carried many weapons with him, with some on his chest, two holsters on his hip (one left one right) and one on either leg. The boy wore a fishnet shirt under a thin jacket and a set of tan pants that led down to his ninja sandles. If there was anyone smarter than Shikamaru, then Naruto didn't know them. The boy could tell you the most obscure facts and histories without blinking an eye, yet try and pry information out of him, like Naruto had one time, and you would be telling him your life's story without even knowing it.



Sitting down at the top of the room, in the center of one of the desks, he waited for the rest to arrive. Soon after himself came Choji Akamichi who went and sat with the Nara. He was a giant of a boy, who nearly stood two feet taller than Naruto and, though it was mostly hidden by a layer of fat, was very muscular. In the style of his father, Choji was also letting his red hair grow long, so he could one day use it as a weapon with jutsu his family had in their possession, and had on a set of reddish purple armor with the family creed of 'Eat' on the front and back.

Next was the Don himself… SASUKE UCHIHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Naruto just grinned a little seeing the withering glares exchanged between the Uchiha and Akamichi, with Shikamaru's eyes thinning a little in distastes.

Sasuke was dressed in white khaki shorts and a blue long sleeve shirt that had a high collar and the Uchiha's white and red fan on the back. He carried no weapon and had no armor, but that said nothing of the skill of the boy, or how dangerous he could be. The boy was ruthless in his spars and had managed to have at least three kids drop out of the shinobi program because of him. Sasuke simpky walked up and sat next to the Inuzuka kid in the row below Naruto, though not because they were friends.

'Perhaps his smell will keep some of the fangirls away. He works nearly as good as the dobe at that.'

Soon after the glaring match between the two another duo entered. Ino Yamanaka, clad in a purple breast plate that loosened into chain mesh near the shoulders for freedom and a lightly plated skort (short's-skirt combo) and had her hair done up into a long ponytail. The second was Sakura Haruno with her close cut hair, dressed in a black and red breast plate similar to Ino's, save that it extended to cover her down to the middle of her stomach. Below that was a simple pair tight red pants that matched the top well. At Ino's shoulder one could see she carried a bokken, while all that looked could see a real sword resting on Sakura's back, sticking out horizontally at her waist, a pink and red Ninja-to.

They were two girls that any man would die to be with, something that the pair knew, and used to their advantage. Even older gentlemen seemed to fall for them when they pulled out all the stops.

Walking up to where Sasuke and Kiba were sitting now they proceeded to kick the Inuzuka out of his seat and sit on either side of Sasuke, flirting in such a manner that would be expected of women twice their age.

Looking around Naruto noticed that the seats were almost all full, with only one seat next to him open in the whole room, Kiba having taken the other one next to him. Looking to see who was missing he let out a curse… 'Please… not HER!' Too late, she entered the room and began to walk towards the open seat, probably having seen it before even entering the building. Yes, the one and only Hinata Hyuga, heiress to the Hyuga Clan of Konoha, and generally know to the class as 'The Bitch.' Something she found hilarious.

As he felt her eyes on him, or rather that of the Byakugan, he saw her release a little smile. He had liked the class not knowing who he was too. Oh well, easy come easy go!... actually he had to through hell to get the class not to recognize him… damn! He quickly deactivated his Oboegan; silently hoping the girl didn't notice his eyes.

Hinata Hyuga was infamous in Konoha. She had made her first kill when most students had still been simply playing with the idea of becoming shinobi. She had been very confident and very 

strong ever since she was six years old and the world had started to notice her, what with the Kumo incident and all. But in the past two years she had also become angry, claiming that Konoha shinobi's were too weak. She, strange as it might sound, did not place herself above others because of her blood, but because she was simply better. She had, for reasons unknown to anyone but herself, trained like no one else Konoha had ever seen. She had become strong because she would not give up, her bloodline only made her stronger.

She had been a nightmare for Naruto. Ever since he entered the class he had had an instant enemy in the kunoichi in training, even though he had never done anything to deserve it. She would put him down and humiliate him for no apparent reason. When they ended up sparring in class she would use her Juken to beat him down mercilessly, even being thrown out of the academy for a month for refusing to stop a fight with him when the teacher commanded it.

To be fair she was like that to everybody to some extent, even Sasuke, and was currently the Rookie of the year, with Sasuke Uchiha just trailing her.

When she arrived on the landing that Naruto and Kib were sitting at, she first towards Kiba, "Send your little pet away. I really don't want any tick marks from an animal."

"Hey! Akamaru does not have fleas! Besides you know I wouldn't send him away for any reason." Yelled the angry dog-boy.

"I know he doesn't have fleas. That's why I told him to send you away. He is more than welcome to stay, perhaps he might even be able to provide a bit of intelligent conversation that seems to be beyond your capacity. Now Akamaru dear, can you please tell your little pet to go back home and wait for you?" Letting out a low growl Kiba stood up and went to lean against the back wall of the class. Akamaru just growled at the girl as he was carried away, giving her an evil eye the whole time.

Now that she had him all to herself she turned to Naruto and juts gave him a long measuring look. He looked at her too, trying not to let his eye's pause too long on certain parts. First there was her hair, a dark blue, nearly black, with went behind her head freely, yet seemed to be made of the finest silk. Next was her obvious white eyes of the Byakugan, veins bulging out signifying that it was active, though they were not as prominent as they might have been, save she had managed to achieve a state of partial activation that would let her leave it active nearly indefinitely, barely even touching on her reserves yet still letting her see anything around her save for chakra and the chakra points. She wore a black sleeveless shirt over a fishnet bra that went up a little higher than the shirt itself and a light purple long-sleeved mini-coat. On her lower body she had a black miniskirt that seemed to cover nothing and everything at once and a bit of binding around her right leg. The girl finished her outfit with her Hitai-ate tied around her neck like a choker and a single ninja pouch directly behind her. ((Inspired by and mostly taken directly from a pic on DeviantART- Hinata- Waiting at Midnight by ramy))

"Well, Well, well. What do we have here?" in a silent mocking voice, "I almost can't believe my eyes. You actually look presentable as a shinobi. You seem like you take on the world right now and actually stand on your own two feet." Now her voice raised and she said scathingly so the rest of the class could hear her, "And, as usual for the wretched ingrates that will now insist on telling themselves and others that they are shinobi,they fail to see what is right in front of their eyes. A person, heavily armed and furtively dressed, with no palpable Hitai-ate, entering and sitting down in a class where he or she had never been seen before and had no business being in. Congratulations Uzumaki-san! You are officially the third smartest being in the room right behind myself and Akamaru!"

This managed to get a glare from almost everyone in the room, save Akamaru, was now happy at the compliment, and Shino, who had simply decided not to do anything about the boy, who 

his bugs had recognized, since he had managed to cloth himself in proper shinobi wear and hold himself properly under the weight of the sword he carried, something no one else in the room without an active doujutsu would have noticed save Hinata herself. Not all the glares were for Hinata either, who seemed to simply grow an even bigger smile when the glares intensified. Sakura and Ino in particular seemed to have a problem with Naruto, or more importantly with his choice of weapon.

"And what, might I ask, are you doing with that?" said the pink haired kunoichi as she pointed at the Zanbato over his left shoulder, "I didn't believe even you would have the audacity to walk into this room with a sword strapped to your back. I have trained for five years in order to finally receive my sword," which she seemed to pat fondly, "and you just walk in here one day, never even held a sword I'm sure, and think I could let you insult me as such." Ino herself seemed a little disconcert when Sakura mentioned her own sword, but still held her gaze on the boy as such.

"Yes,yes," said Hinata now sounding like a dainty little 'Alice in Wonderland' girl, perhaps a little upset that Naruto had stolen some of the glares from the room, "what an insult it is too! I mean, bringing a weapon into his class and not telling you that he knows how to use it! How dare he?!" and too this she turned to Naruto and slapped him, letting her nails dig into his cheek, drawing but the tiniest bit of blood. "I think that for such a crime obvious death is the only fitting punishment! Oh Sas-uke!! We need you to brood in the direction of the evil, vile Naruto here, it's the only form of capital punishment cruel enough for such an atrocious crime." To this Naruto let out a little snort, and like magic all glares were on the girl again.

Placing their hands on their respective weapons both of the kenjutsu wielding kunoichi prepared for an all out offensive, while Hinata relaxed into a simple Juken stance, before letting it go and sitting in her seat, the two other girls both a little glad a fight hadn't broken out and confused on why the Rookie of the year backed down.

"Eh-hem! Ladies, would you mind not drawing your weapons on your fellow shinobi, Kiba, please sit down next to Naruto, and would you please stop picking your nose Micky!" Ah, the good old Iruka style, put them down and put them down quickly. Looking over the next generation of shinobi he made sure to get a good look at all the students he knew would go on to be the future genin, chuunin, and most likely jounin. Giving a quick speech he brought out the list of genin teams. Most were just for the fact that they would be on a team and fail together in one clump rather than send a promising student away, but the last three teams were the real deal.

"Team seven… Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, and…

-beer-bee-beer-titilly-beer-beer-beer

In the Hokage's office twenty minutes ago.

-s-s-s-s-d-d-d-d-f-f-ff—g-gg-g-g--sdfg!

The Jounin watched through a projector jutsu, used on the Hokage's crystal ball, as genin started to enter the classroom. First came Shikamaru, then Shino not ten seconds later, quietly setting up a game of Shougi for the two to play. There were some murmured comments on the Nara heir and some asked Iruka if it was true that Shino had been able to manipulate his own grades. In the back three particular shinobi watched, knowing they would be the ones to take on the three real teams. Kurenai seemed quite interested in the conversations revolving around Naruto, but decided to question the Hatake first.

"Why are you reading that?" she asked, looking at the orange book with distate, "I mean its not like anything in there is going to help you with your students."



"Have you seen my students? A Konoha Medical certified insane Uchiha, a love struck kunoichi who wields a sword she learned how to use from Ume of the Death Blossom, and then that last kid… yeah, I think this book will be perfect."

Taking a drag on his cigarette, Asuma decided to add his two sent to the conversation, "Oh I don't think that she means the book won't be useful, but that it might be a little… much."

"Thank you Asuma! I mean really? It may have been written by one of the Sannin, but that doen't mean it will be useful for little genin like these."

"I suppose…" and with that the masked Jounin put his book away, hoping to read a little more before he went off to the classroom, "Let's get a good look at the rest of the kids… who's the robed one? I don't think I've ever seen him before."

Iruka looked a little confused at the boy before noticing a birth mark on his cheek, "That would be Naruto Uzumaki." He said, a little dumbfounded, "Though when I saw him last night he hadn't been dressed like that! I have never known him to use any of those weapons either!" He was a little worried that Naruto might have stolen the objects from the village, though he did not see the bracer or else he might have sent a ANBU to arrest the boy right away. Instead he settled for one of the ANBU in the room to ask around town about stolen weapons, jewels, and clothing. If there had been nothing stolen that matched them then the boy must have found them or already owned them and told no one.

"A sword that big takes real skill to use." Stated one of the jounin in the room.

"Those weapons look way too expensive for a no clan named genin to own!"

"Hush up, here comes the Uchiha! His clan might have had the honor of dogs, but he'll be the strongest of us all!"

"I wonder if he'll be able to reproduce the Uchiha clan for us with an attitude like his."

"The Yuri Twin's are here now too!"

"Shut up Yaku, you perv!"

"You just sicken me you pedophile!"

"Well they really shouldn't act like that, it isn't becoming of Kunoichi, but they have the skills to be great."

"Oh shit!" "HA! He's screwed!" "Hinata 'the Bitch' Hyuga makes her enterance!" "Run Naruto! Run!" This last one was actually Iruka, who had seen how she usually treated the boy. Apparently she decided to spare him today his usual 'punishment,' as she called it for some reason, because he actually looked like he belonged in that class for the first time.

Soon it was time for Iruka to start giving his speech, while the shinobi began to think of reasons to fail this batch of powered up civilians, for that's all most of them were, civilians that knew how to use chakra and were in good shape, and the three sensei's prepared their student's 'tests.'

Picking up he book again, Kakashi started reading, and Kurenai simple muttered to herself as she left, "'Advanced psychoanalysis for the Mentally Incurable by Tsunade' for a bunch of genin! He's hopeless."
