Chapter 1

Naruto, the badass

The last year!

"Earth, a magic and mythical place, where human were born and where humans die. Earth, the land where souls live amongst the people, either as spirits or as guardians. The rules, nature's rules, that prolong and reset the lives whom have long passed and lived, to give life in a different means of birth. However, this earth, one that housed these spirits, was anything but calm and peaceful, instead of war and hatred being installed into the kids at a young age, a fear of the unknown was there instead. Sure, mass fighting and unwarranted death was everywhere, in nearly every land, but there was something much more frightening, much more dark, lurking in the shadows of the world.

"These being of evil was known by only a few humans, but were named by the guardians that slay them. With masks are white as snow, and emotion of only hunger and hatred, these being were known only as Hollows.

"Not much was known about hollows, only that they are former Pluses (deceased Human souls) who lose their hearts to despair or regret, or remain in the Human World for too long. Without the guardians', or Shinigami as they go by, assistance, souls that had not moved on peacefully eventually become dangerously obsessed with fulfilling their goal for stayomh, even if the means to fulfill them renders the soul empty: for example, killing anyone who comes near a loved one in order to keep them from hurting that person. In doing so, the ghost warps into a Hollow and, ironically, often makes the focus of their obsession into their first victim. The process by which a soul becomes a Hollow usually takes months to years to complete, reflected by the length of the soul's Chain of Fate, which usually resides in the center of their chest, and connects to their bodies, if present. The Chain of Fate slowly corrodes over time, coinciding with the degradation of the soul's ties to the living world, leading to the birth of the hollow!"

"However, not all was doom and gloom for the humans, as their guardians, respectfully know as Shinigami, tended to deal with the hollows as soon as they appeared, striking down the monsters with blades forged from the soul. These Shinigami, whom were located in a separate plain of existence, are unearthly beings living in a world ruled by a different logic than the World of the Living. They possess high Reiryoku and a body of Reishi which allow them to slay hollows. Additional, they are invisible to those without spiritual powers, meaning that no human could lay witness to their godly powers."

"And that's about as fair as I care for this crap." a sharp, yet unprecedented, tone snapped in the quite and empty halls of the forgotten and lost Royal Library of Alexandria, a place of history thought to have been long lost to the tides of history. "I mean seriously, what the hell were these Egyptians smoking when they wrote this!?" throwing the priceless book across the hall like a ball, the lucky and fortunate man, whom discovered such a shocking thing, simply scoffed at the words he read. "Why is everything linked to these stupid ghosts?"

You see, the seething man was not someone who was knew to the idea of ghosts, he had witnessed plenty of them in many of his trip around this world. Afterall, what is a ninja to do when he was all but stranded in a large body of sand with only the books to keep him company.

It had been over a whole year since Naruto had was found and 'rescued' by some English travels, found only hours after his sudden and rather painful entrance into this world. Unknown with what to do with him, seeing as he knew none of their languages or customs, the family of 3, parents with a daughter, took the blonde in, housing him until they could figure out what to do with me.

Soon enough though, Naruto was brought to the local police, a bunch of asshats who knew nothing about nothing, in hopes of finding his real family. Turns our, Naruto's dead parents weren't on system, how weird, who could of predicted that? After that, all the police said they could do was search the records about me. Obviously, the found nothing, and why would they?, different dimension and what not.

So, all but cast aside, the only teen was given a response of unhelpfulness, leaving him with the family of 3.

At first, the blonde couldn't help but be spiteful to himself, he had somehow been falls and juked by the Uchiha, leaving him stranded in an unknown land, with no food, no money, and no change of clothes. Of course, the anger didn't linger long, but then again, neither did Naruto. After half a year of mooching and working, the teen had decided it was time to find some information, or alteast a way, on how to get back home, if there was any. With a tearful goodbye, the teen had went straight into England, the language in which he learned from the Johnson's. The trip was quite... uneventful, apart from being assaulted nearly daily, England held no interest to the teen. And so, he had jumped ship after gaining enough money from odd jobs, before heading back to the place arrived in. /p

Which was where Naruto was right now, researching in hopes of finding something, anything, related to dimensional travel, but all he had found was ghost stories./p

"Maybe I am looking at this wrong." the blonde whispered, he had hardly any food left, so he would have to return to the surface soon, as he glanced to the thrown book. "Maybe these ghosts might be able to help me, all I need to do was find someone gullible enough to house me until I can meet some." Feeling the floor shake, the blonde looked to the side, it would seem a dust storm was on its way. "Well, I better pack up, these ghosts aren't gonna find themselves." Snatching up his bag, the teen crouched down before leading upwards with a chakra kick, shooting through a whole the size of stranded bed. "Next stop, Japan!"

Yelp that's the end of that short lived chapter, I hope you didn't mind the rather abrupt ending, I was trying to fill in the back story of him getting to where he needs to be, atleast without boring the souls of the reader XD

Anywho, I'll be back tomorrow (no promises) with the next update, so Cya for now XD
