(A/N) Yo, so I got some reviews in and tons of ideas. Which I'll probably follow. I've got tons of ideas mixing them together forming a plot. Although I'm new at this so I'm gonna take it a bit slow, so I don't make it to speedy or bizarre. So kinda bare with me on this still figuring things out. As to the relationships I've got an idea for a POSSIBLE harem thanks to many ideas I've received. I still need to figure out how to reply to the reviews. Man I have no idea how this thing works.
I do wish to say Thanks to all those who've reviewed so far. Helped give me tons of ideas. I don't feel like saying to much till I get a decent story plot going. Don't want to get it all mixed up by saying something. Now lets continue on with the story.
"Do I gotta repeat this?"
'I wonder about wonder bread.'
Tiger Uppercut Technique! (20 dollars to who ever can guess where that is from...not really but you know.)
"Mehehehehe! Only you can prevent fox fires!" (I have no freaking idea why I put that in for Kyuubi...)
'Being an oversized fox isn't all that. You get tired of finding humans stuck between your toes you know?'
Chapter 2
( 3 Hours later at Konoha Hospital )
"Internal bleeding, broken ribs, arms, and legs, bruises all over body.." Within the hospital a staff doctor could be heard reading off a patients injury list out loud. "and...DEAR LORD! NO MAN SHOULD EVER! EVER! HAVE THIS HAPPEN TO HIM!!" Doctor looks toward the patient who's in a full body cast remaining motionless due to lost consciousness. White hair could be seen sticking out from the bandages. "No man should ever be kneed there by the Hokage. That is why I had a sudden urge to shiver and cover my crotch." The doctor stood up straight saluting the unconscious man. "Jiraiya of the Sannin. You truly are the strongest man to survive that type of blow. However I do not damn well envy you." Slowly the man walks out, but turns around to face the the unconscious Toad Hermit giving one last salute before leaving.
( Hours Later )
Slowly Jiraiya's door opens as Kakashi slowly peaks in. "Jiraiya...you awake yet?" Receiving no answer Kakashi slowly creeps in with a crutch as he sits in a chair next to the bed. "Tsunade really beat the shit out of you didn't she?" Kakashi slowly eyes the man surveying the damage done to him. "Not even I thought Tsunade was that pissed to do what she did. Not even my Sharingan eye would of been able to see it coming." Kakashi slowly looks down as he shivers dramatically.
( Flashback )
Roughly 30 minutes after Jiraiya's annihilation began Kakashi remained sitting under the tree reading his prized orange book. However curiosity got the better of him as he lowered his book and turned toward the beating. 'I wonder how Jiraiya's holding up.'
Upon turning to the brutal beating Jiraiya can be seen crawling toward Kakashi. "Ka-Kakashi! H-help me! I'll give you...all of my Icha Icha books!" As soon as Jiraiya finished that statement Tsunade grabs his ankle pulling him back into the clearing. "KAKASHI! HELP ME! COME ON DAMMIT!!" Jiraiya claws the dirt as he's dragged back in.
Kakashi's visible eye turns into an upside down U as he waves at Jiraiya. "Sorry, did you say something?"
"TRAITOR!!" Back in the clearing Tsunade stomps on Jiraiya's back creating a crater. Quickly grabbing him with both hands on the collar again hoisting into the air. She leans next to his ear whispering something only Jiraiya can here. Jiraiya's face turns pure horrible as if the devil himself was right in front of him. "N-NO TS-TSUNADE! YO-YOU WOUL-WOULDN'T DARE!" He begins to struggle quickly to get out of her grip. "You wouldn't would y-you?"
Tsunade moves her face back in front of Jiraiya as she shows a devil's smirk to all to see, causing shivers among everyone. Before anyone could turn away she quickly places both hands on his shoulders thrusting her knee up crushing Jiraiya's crotch.
Crack.
A loud high pitched girl scream could be heard through out the whole village. Every man within the village for unknown reasons covered their crotch, shivering at the loud girl screech.
Kakashi quickly covered his crotch shivering uncontrollably. His book on the floor long forgotten as he lays on the ground shivering, rolling around on the grass. 'Oh my g-god! Ho-how could she do that?! Ev-even I could feel part of the blow!' Kakashi continues to roll around on the floor.
The Boar and Bear anbu both hold onto their crotch for their life. Their anbu masks cracked when Tsunade's knee made contact. With out looking at the Boar anbu the Bear struggles to speak, "I..wa-want my 2...ryu. Th-there is..n-no way he..sur-survived that." The Boar nodded slowly even though he couldn't see him do it. "When..we get back..to Headquarters."
Sakura's and Shizune stopped dead in their tracks. Their jaws dropped as their eyes turned into saucers. Tonton even stared at her master with wide eyes. "Puoh..."
"Di-did she..just do that?!" Sakura screeched to Shizune holding her facial expression.
"L-Lady Tsunade...just..crushed Jiraiya's pride." Sakura only nodded to Shizune's statement. Shizune quickly shook out of her shock as she ran toward the man practically dead on the ground. All the way calling out Jiraiya's name before she reaches him and taking him to the hospital.
( End of Flashback )
Kakashi shivers uncontrollably at the flashback. 'I never want to see something like that again.' Kakashi puts an Icha Icha book on the small table next to Jiraiya. 'For your sake. I hope you stay unconscious for a few weeks. Tsunade is still a bit pissed and hasn't told us, but Shizune why.' Kakashi rubs his chin in thought. 'Although we all need the next sequel to the Icha Icha series, so you should wake up soon Jiraiya.'
Kakashi slowly rises up and uses his crutches to walk to the door. He looks back at the poor man in the bed. 'For what it's worth I'm sorry for not helping you. Though I'm kinda glad I didn't that could of been me there you know!' Kakashi gives him a slight salute. 'You are a man among men Jiraiya.' Kakashi slowly walks out of the room for the man to recover.
( Inside a small hut )
"Ok, so let me get this straight. Guardians protect summoners who travel Spira to this place called Zanawho." Stated Naruto.
"Zanarkand." Corrected Wakka.
"Zanarland, whatever to receive the final summoning to defeat this Sin guy?"
Lulu nods approving Naruto's statement.
"So you both are guardians of this old hag Yuna, right?" Naruto lowered his head in thought with his arms crossed thinking.
Wakka and Lulu blinked slowly as they stared. Wakka burst into laughter patting the blond on the back. "That's a good one, ya!"
Lulu softly chuckles to herself.
Naruto quickly snaps his head back up squinting his eyes back and forth between the two. "What? Why are you two laughing huh?" Wakka laughs harder patting Naruto on the back. Lulu shakes her head chuckling softly before reganing her composure.
"Wakka? Lulu? Is that you in there?" Voiced a female outside. Her voice was soft to Naruto's ears. Wakka, Lulu, and Naruto turn their heads toward the entrance as a light tan hand brushes the drape to the side. She had light brown hair to her shoulders. Her hair was not straight it was cut to get it a slight messy look at the bottom. Her dress was odd to Naruto. It was White around her torso with no sleeves, along her arms was white silk with pink tips hanging down lowly, a yellow sash around her waist with green vine design flowing through with sakura petals, and the sash held up a blue long skirt reaching her feet which had pink vines and sakura petals flowing. She wore black boots for the matching outfit. However the most peculiar trait about this female is her eyes. Her eyes are different colors. Her right eye is deep sea green while her left is a deep ocean blue. Naruto was quite taken back with her beauty though he didn't voice it.
Lulu nods her head softly greeting the young girl. "Yuna shouldn't you be out celebrating with the villagers?"
"Yea one kid is enough for me and Lulu to handle, ya. Don't need another especially with this knucklehead." Using his thumb to point to Naruto without looking.
"Hey! I'm not a kid! I'm an adult I'll have you know! Wait? You called me a knucklehead you bastard! I'm not a knucklehead!" Voiced out the slightly raged blond.
Lulu rubs her temples softly letting out a sigh, as Yuna looks slightly puzzled at the blond. "Who's he Lulu? I haven't seen him in the village before." The blond was now in a headlock thanks to Wakka receiving a nuggy, while protesting loudly.
"That would be Naruto Uzumaki. He just arrived here earlier though doesn't know why or how he was able to come here." Lulu stands up as she straightens out her revealing dress. "I'm a bit hungry. Would you like to accompany me to the food table outside, Yuna?"
Yuna nods her head accepting Lulu's invitation.
"Food? Where's food? I want some food!" Voiced out the free blond. "Can I come with? I'm a bit hungry myself here."
Lulu walked over to the door before turning around. "Why don't you go with Wakka? I'm sure he can show you around as well."
"Hey! Why you sticking him with me, ya? I don't want him you take em." Protested Wakka, but immediately agreed after receiving Lulu's glare promising pain.
Lulu walks out followed by Yuna after she takes another look at the blonde before leaving.
"Seems like it's just you and me you old coot." Naruto walks toward the exit.
"Hey, hey! I ain't old I'll have you know. I'm 23 years old, ya!" Naruto and Wakka exit the hut noticing the moon in the sky. "Seems late, ya. Lets get some food and head for bed. I have to leave with Yuna in the morning to begin our journey, ya."
Naruto nods slowly walking. Few seconds later it hits him like a ton of bricks. "EH?! That was the summoner you were talkin about back there?! She wasn't an old hag! I thought all summoners were an old hag! Not some cute teenager!" Yelled the stunned blond.
Wakka bursts into laughter taking Naruto into another headlock. "Ya, that was Yuna alright. What's this about her being cute? Don't be gettin any funny ideas now, ya?" Grinned Wakka as the blond struggled out.
"What's with you and the headlocks?! Always a headlock! That's real original!" Grumbled the angry Naruto. "Don't worry I'm not planning on anything. Now lets go I'm hungry!" Wakka watches as Naruto sprints off to the food table noticing all the young female villagers staring at him.
'Oh ho ho, this should be good. I should of told him to put on a shirt.' Wakka grinned slightly as he follows behind Naruto.
Naruto looks over all the food. 'So many different kinds of sea food! Fruit...I don't like fruits that much, but they are better than green foods. I suppose I'll have some.' Naruto reaches over placing some food onto a plate. Looking on the other side of the table he notices two young females whispering to each other while staring at him. Naruto raises an eyebrow as he stands back up. Both girls squeal as they notice his exposed chest. His chest is well built for his age. Little fat, but only due to his obsession with ramen, with cuts showing his abs. His body is that of an agile one.
"Is there something on my face?" Asked Naruto as his eyes try to find something on his face. Both girls squeel and run off giggling to each other. 'That...was weird.' Naruto hears Wakka's laughter from behind as he turns around to greet him. "Are all the villagers this weird? Or is it just me?"
"It's just you, ya. You should put on a shirt, or the girls may keep staring at you."
Naruto grins sheepishly scratching the back of his head. "Eh he he, kinda forgot I don't have a shirt on, but I don't have any shirts. I came here without one."
Wakka nods, "Why don't you go over there to that hut." Wakka points to a decent sized hut. "Me, you, and Tidus will be staying there tonight. I'll get you one of mine, ya? I think that'll do."
"Sure thing, but who's Tidus?" Questioned Naruto.
"Eh, just another knuckle-headed blond like you. You two should get along fine." Wakka walks off slowly before voicing out. "Get going, I'll be there in like two minutes, ya."
Naruto walks off grumbling about a head locking human uragantang. Naruto eats his food on the way as he tosses it into a nearby fire walking into the hut. Upon his arrival he notices a blonde in a bed with a strange outfit. He wore a very small vest that went halfway down his chest and split down the middle. It had a white hood on the back with the sleeves going to his elbows. He had a dark blue over-all to cover his torso with the same dark blue shorts under. His right side of the shorts had a peculiar red design on it while the left was cut showing what seems like the bottom of his boxers. He had on yellow and brown shoes, but the weird part was his left arm. On his left arm was a brown gauntlet with iron on his knuckles with a red design between the gauntlet and a blue shoulder guard. 'That must be Tidus.'
Naruto walks over and sits at the edge of a small bed letting out a sigh. Tidus sits up scooting over to his edge of the bed. "Heya."
Naruto turns toward Tidus. "Hey, how's it goin?"
Tidus lets out a sigh as he lays back down his hands behind his head. "Not so good. One minute I'm in Zanarkand and next I'm here, but they say Zanarkand was destroyed a 1000 years ago."
Naruto follows Tidus's motion in his bed. "Same here. I'm in Konoha, next I wake up here in Besaid. I suppose we are similar in a way." Grinned Naruto.
Tidus laughs slightly, "Yea I suppose we are. Names Tidus. What's yours?"
"Naruto Uzumaki! Konoha's Number One Knuckle-headed Ninja!" Exclaimed Naruto with a smug grin.
Tidus laughs out loud before speaking. "I'm Tidus! Number One Blitzball Player of the Zanarkand Abes!" He too wore a smug grin.
Naruto and Tidus laugh together as they lay in bed. Sortly after, they hear talking outside the hut. Both sit up as they look at each other nodding their heads. Quietly they stand near the entrance listening in onto the conversation.
( Outside the Hut )
"Wakka, what are you planning to do about them?"
"It's raining blonds Lu! I don't know what to do with them! For all I know a female blond is going to pop up with an orange shirt and join us!" Claimed Wakka.
Lulu gives Wakka a mild glare. "Wakka this is no laughing matter. You brought them here. You fix it."
"I know Lu, they just kinda remind me of Chappu, ya know." Wakka confessed.
"Wakka, he's not coming back. Chappu is dead. No matter how much they look like Chappu, or act like Chappu, they are not Chappu. He's dead and isn't coming back. You should remember that Wakka.
Lulu walks off as Wakka scratches the back of his head with his free hand as he heads toward the hut.
( Inside the Hut )
Naruto and Tidus suppress their laughter as they hear Wakka's joke. Naruto leans over to Tidus whispering, "What's wrong about an orange shirt? Orange is the best color ever!"
Tidus whispers back, "Keep your voice down will you! Besides Dark blue is the best color ever!"
Naruto snorted back whispering, "Yea..if you like to show part of your boxers through your pants."
Tidus glared back at Naruto, "Those aren't my boxers!"
Naruto and Tidus hear Wakka mention they remind of him of Chappu as they drop their argument. After hearing Lulu degrade Wakka they quickly retreat back to their beds as he walks toward them.
Wakka brushes the drap to the side as he tosses Naruto a vest. "There now put that on I'm tired of seeing you walk-in around half-naked, ya."
Naruto grumbles as he puts on the vest. It's a plan vest with no sleeves. The vest is an orange color with black trim around the outside covering his back while the front vest covers most of his chest leaving only the middle showing.
"I know you like orange, so I found an old orange vest in a chest I have. Don't lose that vest, ya." Wakka walks over to another bed across from the other two laying down.
Tidus and Naruto look at each other as they nod silently agreeing not to ask Wakka about that conversation outside.
As they lay down to sleep they hear loud snoring noises. Tidus and Naruto sit up and stare at Wakka. Both sweat-drop thinking the exact same thing. 'No way I'm gettin any sleep tonight.' Both lay back down as they put their pillows on their head for sleep.
( ?? )
"Leader, I've found out that the Kyuubi no Kitsune Jinchuuriki is no longer in Konoha. Apparently Jiraiya's seals may of sent the Jinchuuriki elsewhere in the world, killed him, or into another dimension. Apparently no one knows which has happened."
A shadow figure appears, "This is puzzling. I want you to inform Itachi and Kitsame to continue their search for the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki."
"As you command Leader." Both figures blend into the shadows at the same moment.
Seconds later another figure looms out of the shadows with an orange mask and a red eye blazing from the right side. 'Appears the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki has most likely left this dimension. I'll find you Kyuubi. You will not escape me.' The shadow figure slowly blends into the shadow as his red eye slowly fades into the shadow.
( Morning in Spira )
Smack.
Smack.
"Wake up sleepy heads! It's morning, ya."
Naruto and Tidus rub their heads as they slowly get out of bed grumbling.
Wakka points toward a small sink with a mirror. "Freshen yourselves up. I don't wanna smell yall's breath anytime soon, ya." Wakka starts to head out the hut. "I'll be outside waiting with the others. Hurry up and don't keep us waiting we got a boat to catch." Wakka excused himself from the hut.
Ten minutes later Tidus and Naruto step out of the hut as they both stretch and yawn. "What time is it?" asked Naruto while he stretched.
"6:45 A.M. our boat leaves at 8:30, so we got some spare time, but I don't want to miss it. Now come over here you knuckle heads I got some gifts for ya." Tidus and Naruto turn toward Wakka as they pace themselves to him. As they walk toward Wakka they notice he holds a strange sword in his right hand. The blade appeared to be made of water as it flows in a slow current. In his left hand is a decent sized wooden box roughly two and a half feet long.
"What's with the strange sword and box you old coot?" Questioned Naruto.
"Hey hey, I told you I ain't old. I'm 23, I'm young!" Wakka lefts his right hand with the sword out to Tidus. "This is for you. It was my brother Chappu's sword, but he forgot it when he left with the Crusaders. I want you to have it."
Tidus reaches out grasping the sword with his right hand. He holds it up flat with his left hand tracing along the water blade. "Thanks Wakka. I'll hold onto this for a long time." Tidus gives it a few practice swings. "It's light and easy to swing."
"Ya, it has a water enchancement, so whenever you strike they'll feel the water damaging too. Use it well, ya" Tidus nods as he sets his sword around his waist.
Naruto eyes gaze back to the box. "So I take it that's for me?" Naruto points at the box while blinking.
Wakka laughs slightly, "Ya, this is for you." Wakka hands Naruto the box as he lifts it up inspecting all around the box. "Just open it knuckle head."
Naruto snorts at the comment as he slowly opens the box. As he opens it he notices two daggers are held inside with red fluff holding them from moving. The daggers are identical as both blades are a light violet color. The blade itself is about a foot long and about two and a half inches wide. The handle is a standard kind, light matching brown to go with the violet. Naruto sets the box down on the ground as he takes both daggers in his hands.
"Those were Chappu's before he joined the Crusaders. I don't know much about the daggers themselves, but he would say that when he got emotional he would feel different holding onto the daggers. I think he said he felt more powerful. I can't remember." Stated Wakka as he watches Naruto hold them.
Naruto holds the daggers as he practices with them. "These are great. Longer than a kunai, but I can easily adapt to it!"
Wakka pulls out a black leather belt from his back pocket. "I almost forgot this is for you too Naruto. It will hold your daggers for you, so you don't have to carry the daggers all the time."
Naruto places the daggers back inside the box as he receives the belt. He eyes the belt noticing it's a fairly simple belt with two holders for the daggers on each side. He places it around his waist as he grasps the daggers back from the box. Afterwards he slips them into the holders unable to feel the daggers' handles poking him. "It's great! I can't feel the handles poking me! Thanks for the daggers and belt you old coot!"
Tidus laughs as Wakka sighs heavily, "I get you a gift and you still call me an old coot. Shows how much you appreciate it." Naruto grins sheepishly as he rubs the back of his head. "We have to go meet Lulu infront of the Besaid Temple to wait for Yuna. Lets go you won't like her when she's angry at you." Naruto nods as Tidus flinches slightly from having rushed into the temple earlier.
Naruto, Tidus, and Wakka stroll toward the the temple as Naruto has a smug grin on his face the whole way. Upon their arrive in front of the temple they notice Lulu standing facing them waiting. "Wakka you're late."
Wakka scratches the back of his head with a small grin. "Sorry Lu, I had to go wake those two knuckle heads up." Tidus and Naruto scowled at that remark.
Lulu nods as she crosses her arms under her bust. "Yuna should be coming out right about now. Wait a bit longer." Naruto, Tidus, and Wakka nod as the spread out slightly finding a relaxed stance as they wait. Roughly five minutes later the temple gates open as Yuna struggles pulling on a gigantic luggage. Wakka and Naruto laugh slightly, Lulu sighs while Tidus gaps at.
"Yuna this isn't a vacation. You don't need all that luggage." Lulu shakes her head slightly.
Yuna gasps softly to catch her breathe. "But these aren't my things. They are gifts for the temples."
"We are going to be on a long journey you don't need to bring those Yuna."
"But-"
"Yuna."
Yuna releases her grip on the luggage as she nods slightly leaving her luggage on the ground.
Wakka takes a step forward. "Now that's settled let's head to the dock to catch our boat." Everyone nods in response as they head toward the exit.
( Outside Besaid )
"Take as long as you'd like Yuna."
Yuna turns to Lulu and nods slightly as she stares out at her village home.
Naruto fidgets as he looks around watching Wakka praying at a stone tablet and Tidus after he talked him into it. Naruto walks over next to Lulu staring out at the village. "If you don't mind me asking where are we heading?"
Lulu continues to gaze out at the village. "Kilika Isle for Yuna to pray at their temple for another aeon. After which we will take the boat to Luca so Wakka may participate in his last championship."
Naruto nods at the information. "I know I'm not a guardian and all so why are y'all taking me along Lulu?"
Lulu turns her head back to notice everyone waiting on them. "Why don't we talk more when we get on the boat. Appears everyone is waiting on us." Naruto nods in response.
"Sorry guys didn't know yall were done."
"No problem. Lets be on our way now. Don't want to be late, ya?" Wakka turns down a path away from the village as everyone follows afterward.
( Little ways outside of Besaid )
Naruto looks around as he notices pillars of ruins as they walk the dirt path. Upon a pillar Naruto notices a blue sphere. He walks over toward it as he looks at it. "Eh? I can't read what it says!"
Hearing Naruto Tidus walks toward Naruto as he looks at the sphere. "You're right, I can't read this either. What do you think it means?"
Naruto sweat drops slightly, "How am I suppose to know if I can't read it?"
Tidus lets out a nervous laugh, "Yea I suppose your right."
Naruto stands up as he looks down the path, "EH?! They left us behind! What the hell!"
Tidus looks down the path after hearing Naruto. "You're right! They left us behind! I bet it was Wakka that bastard!"
Naruto and Tidus jog little ways before Naruto stops dead in his tracks. He notices a small pebble vibrate on the ground. "Tidus! Get your weapon ready! We got Company!"
Tidus complies as he draws his sword as Naruto draws his daggers holding them reversed. A loud thump could be heard as it approached quickly growing louder with each thrust. Moments later a blue beast lands infront of them with a loud thud.
Naruto quickly scans his opponents appearance. He has white hair tied in a small pony tail flowing down with his hair, a horn that appears to have been cut off on his forehead, the blue beast has white hair on his chin making a small gote, with two braids folded up to make a thick braid on both sides of his head, and a yellow necklace around his neck. He has on black straps on his chest with a skull in the center with a lighter blue under cloth on his waist covering his abes. He has on brown with dirt yellow toga on his waist held up with a red sash and a green design flowing down. A small white ring on his left shoulder with two feather designs on the back of his shoulders and a blue wrist bracers. 'This isn't an everyday monster is it?'
Naruto and Tidus quickly ready themselves for an assult as the Blue Beast lets out a massive roar as his claws dig into the dirt. He pulls out a javelin from his back with a normal spear on the top but with two quarter moon designs on the side sticking out reversed. 'Damn he's got a weapon. This isn't going to be good.'
The Blue Beast thrusts his javilen into the ground as he uses it to thrust himself off the ground toward Naruto and Tidus. Instantly he swipes at them as they dodge to the sides. Naruto on his left while Tidus on his right. 'Tidus and I don't have any teamwork training! This is gonna be rough I don't want to do any techniques and hurt him. I'll have to use nothing but taijutsu and kenjutsu!'
During Naruto's thoughts Tidus luges forward swinging his blade horizontally as the Blue Beast easily deflects with his javelin motioning the other side smacking Tidus on his left arm. "Gah!" Tidus scrambles back after receiving the blow thinking to himself. 'He's harder then the Sin Spawns. Should of known with the way he looks. I'll have to be more careful'
Naruto notices Tidus's injury as he charges forward to draw the beasts attention. He swipes with his right dagger causing the beast to block with his javelin as he uses his left dagger to swipe at his neck. Beast leans his head back avoiding the attack as he uses his right hand to thrust a claw at Naruto. Naruto quickly ducks releasing the held javelin as he kicks back out of range holding his daggers in a defensive postion. The beasts eyes gaze the blond searching for an opening.
Tidus stands behind his back as he notices a chance to strike. He firmly grips the handle with both hands as he charges forward with a yell. "Back in the fray!" Hearing his yell the beast quickly dodges to the left as Tidus's thrust misses. Instantly the beast reels his right hand into a punch as he strikes Tidus across the face sending him to the ground few feet away.
Instinctivly he places his javelin near his face as he turns around blocking a dagger with a loud Clingas his right hand opens up into a spear like motion thrust it forward stopping milimeters from Naruto's throat as his left dagger stops milimeters from the beasts heart.
Both remain motionless before Naruto grins. The beast feels a dagger against his neck as the blond infront of him disappears in a puff of smoke.
"Hey Hey that's enough!" Tidus, Naruto, and the Blue Beasts gaze turn toward Wakka's voice. "That's enough let him go Naruto."
Naruto narrows his eyes at the beast as he relunticly with draws his dagger placing them both in his belt hoisters. "Mind filling me in?" Tidus nods as he stands next to Naruto adding in his two ryo. "I thought he was with yall in the temple chamber." The beast slowly walks off toward the direction they were heading.
Yuna walks forward bowing slightly, "I apologize, that was Kimarhi. He's very protective of me since birth. He's strange not even we know what's going through his mind. He hardly talks." Stated Yuna with a small smile as she stands back up straight.
Tidus chuckles softly, "Strange? Try crazy I wonder why he attacked us." Tidus pats his clothing dusting of the dust.
Naruto waves his hand dismissively at Yuna. "Don't bow for me. I hate having people bow to me and I don't bow to anyone. No worry nobody got hurt no need to be sorry. He was probably testing us to see if we had any bad intentions against Yuna. I suppose we passed." Shrugged Naruto.
Wakka grins slightly, "I think you're right. You're not as dumb as you look, ya?" Teased Wakka.
Naruto scowls at Wakka's comment. "I'm smarter than I look! You should remember that you old coot!"
"That's enough." Intervend Lulu, "Kimarhi went ahead of us we'll meet him on the boat. Let us be on our way." Wakka and Naruto glare at each other before agreeing as they party trails off.
( Besaid Jungle )
Halfway through the jungle Naruto begins to fidget from boredom as he looks around the area. He notices they are heading toward a series of waterfall with bridges connecting small island masses to cross the river.
Rustle.
Naruto quickly shifts into alert mode as he hears ruffles in the nearby bushes. He narrows his eyes hearing two sets of ruffles on both sides. Wakka turns toward Naruto as he notices his hands grasping both his daggers. Naruto notices his gaze as they both nod their heads. Wakka nudges Tidus as they whisper to each other.
Low menacing growls.
Lulu and Yuna creep toward the center as Naruto, Tidus, and Wakka form a circle around them. Naruto darts his eyes around. "I sense two." Tidus and Wakka nod. Tidus and Naruto draw their weapons as Wakka holds out a blitzball under his arm. Lulu has a small moggle doll on her shoulder while Yuna holds onto her staff tightly. Naruto notices Yuna's tight grip on her staff. 'She reminds me of Hinata. Just no fainting or stuttering.'
"Don't worry Yuna. They won't get passed us." Yuna turns toward Naruto and nods slowly.
Naruto holds his daggers reversed as he would hold a kunai. "Do you know what they are Wakka? This is your isle after all."
"Dingos, they are wolf like fiends. Kinda weak, so should be easy to take them out. You and Tidus can handle them. I'll watch the sky for fliers those are my kind of customers."
Immediately afterwards two orange dingos charge out from the bushes on Naruto's and Tidus' sides. Naruto uses his right dagger to parry a claw strike taking a step back to avoid a menacing bite. Tidus horizontally slashes at his dingo causing it to jump back to avoid the blow.
Lulu, Wakka, and Yuna fall back away from Tidus and Naruto giving them room for mobility.
( Naruto vs Dingo )
The Dingo snarls at Naruto with a bit of drool oozing out of his mouth. Naruto keeps his gaze on the Dingo. 'This is a good time to practice with these daggers. I could easily defeat him with a few shadow clones or a Rasengan, but I need to know how to use these.'
Dingo quickly lungs at Naruto as he dodges to the right using his left dagger to slash his front left leg. The Dingo lets out a cry of pain as it regains it's stance. 'Damn, if I stabbed him with my right I could of ended this, but I can't holding them like this.' Naruto's thoughts ended as the Dingo charged again extending his injured leg swiping at Naruto. Naruto falls backwards as he kicks the Dingo underneath forcing the Dingo to land on it's side. Naruto quickly flips himself onto his feet as the Dingo scrambles to it's feet.
'I need to stab him to end this. I don't want to drag this out. Maybe I could...' Naruto charges forward as the Dingo charges in response. Dingo extends it's right leg to swipe at Naruto. Naruto dodges inside his defence as he flicks his right dagger in his hand holding it the regular way as he thrusts it forward stabbing the Dingo's throat. Naruto quickly pulls it back out as he drops back kicking him again in the gut tossing him to the side as he flips back onto his feet. 'I thought so. I'll be able to flick the daggers back and forth to parry and swipe or to thrust.'
Naruto turns back to the Dingo as he watches the body fade as bubbles of different colors flow into the sky. 'What's going on..' The bubbles fade into the sky as the body vanishes. 'That...was a horrible thing to witness. If I die would my body disappear to?' Naruto turns to his left to spot Wakka fighting an Aerial fiend. 'No time to think I have to help them.'
Naruto places his daggers back into his belt to sprint faster toward Wakka, Lulu, and Yuna.
( Tidus vs Dingo )
"I should of slept in this morning." Tidus lunges forward doing a vertical slash as the dingo jumps back. Following up with a lunge as Tidus scrambles back avoiding the bite. Tidus uses his left hand smacking the Dingo's head with his gauntlet like glove.
'Good thing I play Blitz or I'd be out of breath!' Tidus holds his sword out at his side as he charges forward with a yellow swiping at the Dingo. Dingo avoids again as he lungs for another bite. Tidus dodges to the side as he elbows the Dingo on the head following up with his sword stabbing him on his side.
Tidus jumps back as he watches the Dingo squirm on the ground whimpering. Few seconds later the Dingo stops breathing as his body starts to fade into bubbles. Slowly the bubbles raise into the air disappearing from sight.
"I rock!" Tidus turns back as he notices Wakka fighting an Aerial fiend as well as Naruto rushing to aid him. "Looks like Wakka needs help." Tidus runs toward Wakka with his sword drawn in his right hand dragging the tip of the blade in the dirt behind him.
( Wakka vs. Dive Bomber )
"Lu, I'll show you what I can do!"
"Go ahead." Lulu and Yuna step back a bit giving Wakka a bit of space for combat.
Dive Bomber flies into the air as he dives toward Wakka quickly with it's beak ready to pierce. Wakka dodges to the side as the Dive Bomber makes a turn coming in for another dive. Wakka rolls over to the side avoiding the dive bomber. Wakka kicks back on the ground putting distance between him and the fiend. Dive Bomber stops in the mid air releasing a screech at Wakka as he flies down toward Wakka. Wakka scrambles back as the Bomber uses it's feet clawing at Wakka. Wakka reels his free hand back thrusting it forward smashing his fist into the bird's face.
Bomber floats back slowly dazed. Wakka notices his chance as he reels his Blitzball back as he instantly throws it at the Bomber. "Say your prayers!" The Blitzball sails through the sky at incredible speed as it makes contact with the fiend with a loud smack against the bird's gut. Bomber and the Blitzball slowly fall back down to the ground as Wakka sprints toward the ball kicking it in the air as it sails again to the Bomber. This time a loud smack echos with a crack as it breaks the birds beak killing it instantly.
Wakka catches his ball as the fiend drops to the ground disappearing in the air before it hit the ground in bubbles. "I'm good, ya?" Wakka holds his blitzball under his right arm as he uses his left thumb to point at himself letting out a laugh.
Lulu shakes her head slowly as she lets out a sigh. 'Even while fighting he can act like a child.'
( After Battle )
"Wakka!" Tidus and Naruto cried out as they race toward Wakka.
Wakka turns toward the two with his Blitzball under his right arm. "Hey, you two alright?" Naruto and Tidus reach Wakka as they nod their heads in responce.
"We're fine what about Lulu and Yuna?" Questioned Naruto.
"We're fine, Naruto. Wakka was able to handle the fiend for us." Naruto turns toward Lulu as he watches them casually walk toward them.
"That's good I'm glad no ones hurt." Naruto lets out a sigh of relief.
Yuna nods her head. "Thank you for your concern Naruto."
"You two did good for your first time." Naruto Scoffs at Wakka's remark.
"First time? I've been in way tougher situations than that. This was nothin compared to what I've done!" Grinned Naruto.
"Oh? Is that so tough guy? Well pray do tell, ya?"
"If I told you wouldn't believe me! So why should I?!"
Wakka leans back raising an eyebrow. "You raise a good point. I won't believe a knuckle head like you. At least until I see how strong you are." Wakka laughs as he ruffles Naruto's hair.
"Hey hey watch the hair! I'm not a kid!" Complained Naruto.
"Wakka that's enough. Let us be on our way." Lulu turns around with Yuna as they walk off.
"Hey! I didn't get to gloat about my battle you know!" Yelled Tidus as everyone walked off without him. "Hey, come back!" Tidus chases after them.
( Under the waterfall )
"Hey Wakka." Called out Naruto.
"Ya?"
"Are there any other fiends we should know about here?"
Wakka scratches his chin in though. "Ya, water flans and condors. Those guys are worse than Dingos don't really feel like fighting those right now. Especially a Condor, ya?"
Naruto sighs, "Great so we are gonna fight some since you said that."
"What are you talkin about? We aren't gon-"
"Above!" Points out Lulu. Everyone looks up to see a dark blue blob fall from the waterfall. The blob lands a few feet away from them.
"What's that?!" Yelled out Tidus.
"It's a Water Flan. Lets let out Black Mage handle this." Stated Wakka.
"Hah! I can handle this!" Prided Tidus as he charges forward slashing at the blob. He struggles with the slash as he struggles to pull his blade out of the dark blue flan slowly. "What the hell?!"
"I told you! Lets out our Black Mage handle this!" Stated again by Wakka.
"So, you need someone with Magic Skills?" Questioned Lulu.
"Yea obviously." Quoted Tidus with sarcasm.
"Time for a little lesson. There are four types of magic elements. Fire, Ice, Thunder, and Water these four elements can be used against fiends. How ever each have a strength and a weakness. Such as Fire and Ice. Fire spells are strong against Ice fiends as Fire fiends are weak against Ice Spells. Do you understand?" Lectured Lulu.
"Okay, I understand that, but what about Thunder and Water?" Questioned Tidus, while Naruto listens in carefully taking in the information.
"Same as Fire and Ice. Thunder spells are strong against Water fiends, but Thunder fiends are weak against Water spells. This is a Water fiend, so that means-"
"It's weak against Thunder spells!" Finished Naruto who was listening in.
"Good." Lulu raises her left hand crossing it over her right shoulder as lightening forms around her hand. "Need a good jolt?" Lulu raises her hand straight up then drops it as light strikes down on the Water Flan as it disperses into bubbles disappearing.
"Hey, Lulu. I forgot to ask why do fiends do that when they die? I don't get it." Questioned Naruto.
"That is a question for another time Naruto, but I am glad you're interested. I'll tell you later, but we need to reach our boat." Naruto nods as everyone turns back their direction leaving to the dock.
( Few ways before reaching the dock )
"So all that's left is a Condor?" Stated Naruto.
"What are you talkin about knuckle head?" Wakka raises an eyebrow at the blond.
"Well you said you don't want to fight against Water Flans, which we just did, and Condors, which we haven't yet. So when will we?"
Lulu turns her head toward them slightly. "It's rare to find a Condor out near the dock. However I do agree with you since Wakka said that, and his luck is bad. We most likely will find one. If we do we'll let Yuna handle it." Yuna turns to Lulu with a some what puzzled and not-so-confident expression.
"Are you sure I can handle it?" Questioned Yuna.
"I'm sure you can Yuna. Remember we are here with you every step of the way." Yuna nods slowly as she faces back in the direction they are heading. 'I hope we don't run into one.'
Naruto's hair sways slightly stronger than before. "Did the wind just pick up?"
Wakka sighs as he smacks his head. Lulu chuckles softly as Naruto, Yuna, and Tidus stare with interest. "We just ran into a Condor!" Stated Wakka with his head hung down.
A loud booming screech echos from above as Naruto looks up. "OH MY GOD! THAT'S A BIG BIRD!" Naruto and Tidus stumble back and fall onto their butts due to the size of the bird.
"Yuna's suppose to fight that?! No way!" Yelled Tidus.
"Yuna's not going to fight it. Her Aeon is Tidus." Spoke Lulu as she turns to Yuna. "Are you ready Yuna?"
Yuna nods as she walks out in front of everyone as the Condor floats above the ground a few feet high letting out a massive screech.
"Father...give me strength!" Yuna holds her staff in the air with both hands as a seal forms under her. Quickly her right hand releases it's grip as her left hand swings it behind her at an angle. Four light green spheres fly off into the sky twirling as the clouds part.
Naruto looks into the sky as he remembers his first time on the isle. 'So that's what I saw. It was Yuna!'
Instantly a booming sound can be heard as a small object in the sky rockets toward Yuna. The oval object lands next to Yuna as it spreads it wings. As Naruto looks at the Aeon he notices it's like no summon he's ever seen. It's face is white and with a small point at it's mouth. His neck is red rigged with some form of feathers never seen, his wing trims are purple and a vanilla color, he has three claw like wings on both sides of his body with a loop of golden rings connecting to the last claw on the right side. His chest is a vanilla color as the same red rigged feathers go down his lower body and to his purple bird like legs with a red purple tail.
Yuna gently pets it as she pats it before taking a step back. "Please, fight with us!" Aeon quickly flaps off toward the Condor confronting it with a loud screech.
Naruto turns toward Lulu. "Which Aeon is that Lulu?" Questioned Naruto as he looks back at the Aeon.
"That is Valefor. He's Yuna's first summon." replied Lulu as she watches Yuna.
Condor narrows it's wings as it speeds toward Valefor. "Valefor Sonic Wings!" Valefor winds his wings back as he instantly flaps the foward sending an invisible wind blade at the Condor crashing into it. The Condor is thrown back shaking it's head as it stands on the ground. "Valefor Energy Ray!" Valefor spirals into the air as he leans his head back taking in air. Seconds pass as he thrusts his head forward with his mouth open as a purple white beam slashes across the ground and Condor. Valefor sails back down next to Yuna as the ground and Condor erupt in explosions. As the smoke clears small bubbles can be seen fading into the sky.
Yuna pets Valefor as she pats him again before taking a step back. Valefor spirals into the sky disappearing into the clouds. Yuna lets out a sigh of relieft as she turns toward the rest of the party. "How did I do?"
Wakka gives Yuna a thumbs up with a toothy grin. "You do good, ya."
Lulu walks up to Yuna gently ruffling her hair. "You did a wonderful job, Yuna." She shows a rare smile to Yuna receiving one back from her.
Tidus was lost for words his mouth agape. 'I saw him earlier in Besaid...but I didn't know he was that strong!'
"That was amazing Yuna! How did you do that?! Could you teach me how to do that?!" Naruto bombarded Yuna with questions as she stared back blinking her eyes unknowing what to say.
"Um..well..I can't teach you..you have to become a summoner Naruto." Stated Yuna.
"What?! Really? Aw, man!" Naruto's cheerful mood instantly deflated at that comment as he sulks to himself.
Yuna chuckles softly at the young blonds antics.
"Hey hey we gotta go! We're gonna miss our boat if we don't go now." Panicked Wakka.
Lulu nods, "Lets be on our way should be a few more minutes till we get there." Everyone nods as they continue their way toward the dock.
( Besaid Docks )
Upon their arrival to the docks they noticed a small crowd of villagers gathered at the wooden dock. As they walk along the dock some of the villagers give Yuna gifts to help along her path. Such as potions and antidotes. As they reach the boat Naruto looks at it with a strange look. 'That's a boat? It looks...weird.' The boat was in a guitar-like shape with a semi flat deck, and the steering room in a small tower in the center.
Wakka whistles at Naruto. "Hey knuckle head we ain't got all day! Hurry up will ya?" Naruto shakes out of his thoughts as he walks up the ramp onto the boat. Wakka and his team can be seen talking on the other side of the boat as Yuna is hounded by a group of people talking to her. Tidus can be seen walking around the boat causing mischief. Kimarhi stands near Yuna like a statue unmoving. 'What a creepy guy.' Naruto notices Lulu near a wall. He strugs as he walks over toward Lulu. "Hey Lulu. You said we're going to this place called Kilika Island next right?" Questioned the blond as he walked up to her.
Lulu turned toward the voice as she nods. "Yes, well head toward Kilika, then we head to the temple across the jungle. We shouldn't stay for long as we'll head back toward the dock to go to Luca." Naruto nods as he stares out into the water.
"What's Kilika like?" Questioned Naruto.
"Kilika is not so different from Besaid Village. It's above the water as wooden beams hold the huts above. Other than that it's the same as Besaid."
Naruto nods, "After Yuna gets her Aeon from Kilika we head to Luca for Wakka's championship." Lulu nods. "So about my first question. I'm not a guardian so why are y'all letting me come along with?"
"Luca is the second largest city on Spira next to Bevelle. There may be someone who you might recognize or able to help you go home." Answered Lulu.
Naruto gazes out to the ocean, "That's understand able." Naruto thinks to himself 'Though not very likely I'll meet anyone from Konoha there or a seal master.' Naruto sighs softly before asking, "About my earlier question. Why do fiends disappear like that? If I die would I disappear as well?" He continues his gaze out at the water as he spoke to her.
"Would you be able to handle the information I'm about to tell you?" Lulu questioned back.
"I've been through a lot in my life." His eyes some what dulled a pale blue as Lulu noticed. "I'll be able to handle what you tell me."
Lulu nods as she turns her gaze into the ocean water. "Fiends are created from the restless dead. They were once living humans who have died, but didn't want go to the Farplane. They stay attached to the living word through regret as they soon envy the living. If they are left unsent they will turn into fiends to devour the living. The bubbles you saw from the fiend were the pyreflies. They give shape to the fiends allowing them to hunt on the living. That is what a fiend is and why their bodies disappear when killed."
Naruto turned toward Lulu staring at her in deep though before speaking. "You're telling me..when I killed that fiend I killed someones soul?" Naruto shivered slightly, but went unnoticed.
Lulu shakes her head slowly, "No, you do not kill the soul, but you send it to the Farplane, so they may find eternal peace."
Naruto lets out a sigh of relief as he smiles slightly. "So their soul is released to the Farplane so they may be happy?"
Lulu chuckles softly with a smile, "If that's how you wish to look at it than yes."
Naruto grins smugly, "You know when I arrived in this dimension I thought I would be alone and struggle to stay alive, but you guys are making me fill welcomed even with Wakka's immaturity."
Lulu chuckles softly, "I suppose he is immature, but he does have his moments at times."
Naruto chuckles as he smiles turning his gaze to Lulu. "I'd like to say thank you for everything you've done so far Lulu. It really means a lot to me."
Lulu turns toward Naruto smiling softly at him nodding. "It's my pleasure. It's nice to have this journey a bit lively. Though we may go our separate ways at Luca." Lulu returns her gaze to the ocean water.
Naruto tilts his head to the side confused, "Why is that Lulu?"
"Because-" Lulu didn't get to finish as the boat shook heavily as she catches herself against the wall as Naruto uses chakra to stay in position.
"SIN!!"
That's the end of Chapter 2. Man I almost had a heart attack there. Near the end I totally forgot to enter Kimarhi. Was like "Shit I forgot Kimarhi! I wonder if anyone would notice I didn't put him in." Anyways I have plans ahead so review and let me know what you think! I don't want my chapters to be to long because I personally get headaches from reading lengthy chapters, so I don't want anyone else to feel that way. So again thanks for those who review appreciate it greatly! I've proof read this a few times. I think I got all the mistakes if you find one I must of missed it. Well hope you enjoyed this chapter! Till next Chapter Ciao!
