"Ohh bloody hell, did anyone get the name of that Akamichi?" With a groan the blonde haired shinobi sat up, holding his head. Looking around he notices that he is in a forest with the moon shining above him. Looking ahead, he sees a human shaped indent in the tree in front of him…
"Oh shit! The Hiraishin!" Naruto suddenly recalls, with great sadness, the events that led up to him colliding with the tree. He and Kurama had discussed the last resort plan well before going into battle. In fact they had discussed the possibility when Naruto discovered the true meaning of the ancient seal that could open a doorway to hell. Yet, even though he had been prepared for the eventuality, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of sadness. Kurama had been with him since the day he was born. Even if they didn't talk much with each other till a couple of years ago, Kurama's presence was something his body was too used to. To find it suddenly gone, Naruto felt like he was hollow. Like a part of his internal organs had suddenly disappeared, leaving behind an empty void. Putting aside the feeling, Naruto recalled his Shinobi training to the forefront of his mind. He was in alone, injured and in a potentially hostile environment. Who knows where his Hiraishin had taken him.
Closing his eyes, Naruto concentrated on his body, running a surface diagnostic scan to find his status. He could sense his chakra, swirling in his core like his namesake. It responded to his probe with an ease he had never before experienced. He realised that with Kurama gone, he would have a much easier time recalling his chakra and controlling it even if he wouldn't have access to the immense amount he had before. He might even be able to do some genjutsu at this rate. Reaching for it, he tried to call it to the surface and grimaced. The fight with the Ten Tails had required for intense amount of chakra to be channelled: demonic, sage and normal chakra. It looks like the combination had left his chakra coils slightly damaged. If it was a normal shinobi, they would require an extensive operation to heal them. Luckily for him, his Uzumaki regeneration would take care of it in a day or two as long as he didn't channel too much of it. This meant that he would have to lay low and scope out the surroundings using stealth. He could use some techniques but not ones that would be needed if it came to open confrontation. Looking down at his tattered and blood soaked clothing, he found another reason to keep out of sight. At least until he found some new clothing.
Grimacing, Naruto got up and did a small stretch to get the kinks out and ease his sore muscles a bit. Seeing that he had no idea which way civilisation was, he pulled out a kunai and made it stand on the ground on its pommel. With a twist of his hand he let it spin before it fell flat on the ground, pointing in a direction.
"Right! Fate tells me to go that way. But knowing my luck with directions, that way probably leads to a lion's den soooo…." He turns in the opposite direction from where the kunai was pointing, "I should go this way!" and with that, he started jogging at a brisk pace.
Within two minutes of jogging, a disgusting smell hit his nose. "Gah! What the hell! This place smells like those new horseless carts in Spring Country. Only instead of there being just one or two of them, it smells like there are thousands." Leaping up the branches of a nearby tree, Naruto climbed to the top to get a better vantage point and was shocked by what he saw.
Buildings that reached the sky, perfectly paved roads, bright lights illuminating writings, some in Kanji and some in an unfamiliar language. Blinking Naruto tried to rack his brains as to figure out where his technique had taken him. Unbidden, a note from his maternal grandfather's journal came to mind. He had talked about there being an infinite number of universes. About how for every choice we made, there was a universe somewhere out there where a copy of you made the opposite choice. He had gone on to say that there are some universes where everything was exactly the same except that instead of waking at say 6 am they would wake up at 5:59 am that day. Then there were universes where human life didn't exist and the planet was controlled by blue skinned beings who had a deep connection with the planet. Basically saying that anything that could be imagined, was reality in some universe.
Looking around at the obvious display of amazingly high technology and words in a different language, Naruto could rule out a universe where he woke up a minute earlier. "All those different energies present in the cavern must have caused my technique to point to somewhere else. I would have tried summoning by now but I need to wait for my channels to heal first. Till then, I guess I need to find myself some clothes." Flinching at a sound coming from his stomach he amended, "and food. Hope they have ramen. Henge (Transform)."
Naruto transformed into a brown haired male with a similar build to himself. He would be taking measure to make sure that he wasn't caught but it didn't hurt to be extra careful just in case a wandering shinobi heard the sound emitting from his stomach.
Slipping into the shadows, Naruto made his way to the nearest building and quickly scaled the walls till he reached the roof. Crouching, he let his eyes wander along the streets until they caught sight of a small shop with a sign indicating food. The lights were off inside the shop so he assumed that there wasn't anyone inside. Leaping off the roof he used a low powered wind technique that let him glide along the thermals and land on a wall near the shop.
Slinking along the shadows, he crawled down the wall and went through a small gap in one of the windows and into the store. Cupping his hands, he allowed a small harmless flame to grow and illuminate the store. Dropping to the floor, he walked along the aisles looking at the various items when a beeping noise caught his ears. Quickly and silently following the noise he came to a keypad with lots of symbols on it. It looked a lot like one of those security doors in the T&I division that allowed people to go through to high secrecy rooms. "This one is near the main door so I think it might be more of an alarm. Shit. What the hell am I supposed to do now." Looking around he caught sight of a piece of paper near the keypad with more strange symbols on it. Matching them to the symbols on the keypad, he put the numbers in and was glad to find that the beeping stopped.
"Whats the point of having an alarm if you leave the password for it right next to it. They must not be able to remember it." Smirking at his good fortune, he made his way back to the food and grabbed some of the bread that was there. Smelling it he found it smelt like tomato, cheese and some spices. Deeming it good enough, he started to eat the loaf while going towards the other food items.
Once he had eaten his fill, he bit his thumb and swiped it across a seal on his upper bicep, releasing a large scroll. All shinobi had to carry all their items with them at all times since they never know when their temporary homes would be destroyed by the Ten Tails. The scroll he had released was his master scroll, it carried all his other scrolls inside it. Locating the Kanji for food, he released that scroll. Food had been scarce in the later part of the war so he didn't really have much in this scroll, luckily that allowed him to seal the food he had found in this shop into there, which he did.
Walking to the main entrance he saw that unlike shops back home which only had one counter, this place had 14! They must get a LOT of people coming through here if they needed that many counters. Of course he also knew what counter meant. Money. It was immoral yes, but he would need money if he had to stay here in case he couldn't reverse summon himself back home. It would be best if he took the money now instead of later. They would no doubt step up the security when they realised they had been broken into and it would be much harder for him to get back undetected. Going to each counter, he broke the lock on the drawers with his kunai and took all the money out and sealed it into his scroll. Resealing the scroll, he leapt back up the wall and through the window he came in by.
Jumping back into the alley he went into a nearby shop that also had no light on but had a mannequin in the front window with fancy clothes on. Walking around the back of the shop, he pried open the door with his kunai and slipped in. He walked straight to the entrance and searched for another keypad but didn't find one. Shrugging, Naruto assumed that since it was a smaller business it must not have much in the way of security.
Looking at the posters near the clothing racks, he was relieved to see that the fashion was similar enough that he wouldn't have too much trouble putting these types of clothes on properly. He grabbed a wide variety of clothes and sealed them into his scroll before taking another look at the mannequin. The doll was wearing some uncomfortable looking clothing that looked to be made out of high grade material. Smiling with a hint of sadness, Naruto recalled Kakashi's lesson on high society clothing. He had taught Naruto that the more impractical the clothing was to put on, the more important you looked in it. Since this universe was obviously occupied by humans and not blue skinned beings, Naruto decided that human nature would most probably apply here too and grabbed a few of the suits that were similar to the ones worn by the mannequin. The clothing was all just there as back up. He had no intention of staying here for a long period of time but just in case something went wrong, he wanted to have the option to stay for as long as needed.
Sticking to the shadows, Naruto hurried back into the forest and found a clearing in the trees. Getting out his kunai he quickly drew a large sealing circle in the clearing and then went inside the circle. The seal he had just drawn was called the Kakureta na kankyō (Hidden Surroundings), it was a seal that was used when people were nomadic and didn't stay in one place for long. The seal was a two part safety measure once activated. Firstly it bent the light around the outside of the seal so whatever was inside the seal was invisible to those outside it, secondly it had an aura that would make people not want to step near it subconsciously. Sitting inside the seal, Naruto channelled his chakra, a little at a time, for 30 minutes till the seal had enough in it to last for a day. That was another reason he had chosen this seal, it allowed him to input chakra in slowly instead of all at once, this way he didn't damage his chakra coils any further.
Unsealing a tent from his scroll, Naruto put up a few more proximity alarm seals just for an extra measure before he let sleep claim him.
AN:
Hello all! Heres chapter 2 of the story.. just one more chapter before we start approaching the main story line of Fate/Stay Night. That reminds me, thanks to all those people who pointed out the mistake in the last chapter's AN, I've fixed it now but had completely missed it in my proof read.
As for why Kiritsugu had to die? Well he was going to die before the 5th war anyway but by killing him earlier there will be no Shirou in the story. Also, with him dying Avalon will go back to Arturia thus allowing her to be more powerful in the war.
I killed Kurama to make him a BIT more balanced. This won't make him super weak or anything since his chakra control will jump through the roof but at least he won't be too IMBA now.
As for pairings, main one is Naruto/Madea but I might add a few side ones later depending on how opinions go.
Radlek out!
