Chapter 2- Still Jolly After All These Years- Iwrestledabearonce
XXXXXXXXXXXX
The trip ended up taking four weeks because Naruto wanted to train a little since he had mastered the vision within 10 days…of coarse to do that he didn't sleep for those 10 days. But still it was worth it in everyone's eyes since from his point of view he could now see perfectly for him…he actually preferred it over his original sight. He learned how everything responded differently when his chakra hit it and things lit up so he could see vivid colors.
From Naruto's Master's standpoint it was better simply because they didn't have to make clones or carry him, although Naruto still made clones to improve him self. He would even have them spar with each other while on the move. The result was his reserves were up there with any Kage and his control was at least low jounin.
He had also started developing his own style of Taijutsu. Which he dubbed Kaze Dansu, or wind dance. In this style used quick but powerful jabs with his hands and feet to throw his opponent off balance and quick movements almost like gusts of wind to get inside and opponents guard. Once He was inside the guard or the opponent was off balance he would throw a strong hit in with any part of his body (Head, hands, feet, knees, elbows ect.) to do real damage.
The style was overall very well rounded but its two real defining traits were the unpredictability, Naruto could do anything in terms of movement he would recklessly be shooting forward for a spiraling head but one instant and then he would defy gravity and be flying backward while getting ready to attack with a sliding tackle.
The other interesting trait was his defense. Naruto never blocked if he didn't absolutely have to. This negated the strength of an opponent for the most part. Also he was becoming so adept at dodging that soon even the Hyuga's field of divination wouldn't work against him.
Also on the trip they had replaced Naruto's cloths with a simple black outfit. Now they were on the last day of the trip and approaching the ruins of Whirlpool. Naruto for some unexplainable reason felt a growing connection with the place every step and was growing happier by the second.
As they crested the last hill and finally saw the ocean Nartuo was completely awestruck. He gazed out over the water looking for the village which he figured must be on an island however he couldn't see any islands "so where is the island… is it hidden by some genjutsu?" Naruto asked anxiously "HA Island? No boy the village isn't on any island" said Kitamasu This left Naruto very confused because he didn't see how it could be anywhere except an island.
When the group reached the shore they decided to have lunch. It was a short affair without much talking, since all of them wanted to get to their destination. After lunch the trio walked up to the water and just stepped on (They taught Naruto how to water and tree walk) Naruto the followed his Masters for a while until he noticed a spinning motion. Seeing that neither of his Senseis seemed to care he paid it no attention. That is until it became quite a serious swirl.
Naruto then realized that he was walking on a whirlpool. He turned around to make a mad dash back but Katasune grabed him and just shook his head before starting to walk again. The further they got the lower they went and the faster they spun. Finally after many many revolutions they reached the center and stood looking at each other while spinning and descending. The got lower and lower for many minutes than finally the spinning stopped and they were in a smooth slide slipping down.
At the bottom they were deposited into a large pit full of soft sponge type objects. After all the spinning and sliding Naruto was quite dazed but he soon regained his complete conciseness and Spread out his chakra as far as he could which was almost the entire dome, all but a small section way north. To say that he was awestruck would be the understatement of the century. He was in a giant dome made of a shimmering substance that was almost completely transparent. There were several gaping holes in the dome where Whirlpools seemed to enter the dome.
Inside the dome was and entire city and surrounding country. At the center of the city and dome in general was a gargantuan mountain. It jutted up into the 'sky' like a pinnacle going straight to Kami. The lower mountain side was dotted with villas and houses and further up there was one large house that wrapped al the way around the mountain and seemed to bee at least 7 stories tall. The city had two large walls they were about 250 yards apart and the outer wall was about 50 meters thick where the inner wall only seemed to be 25 meters. However possibly the most amazing thing about the whole city was that the buildings were all made of what seemed to be crystal that clouded on the inside to stop people looking in.
The surrounding countryside seemed to have a bit from each country of the world. There was thick forest, desert, rocky mountains, and a deep valley that seemed to have perpetual rain covering it. There was a canyon and a mist covered section.
"Welcome to The Land of Whirlpool we will say at our home….the large house on Mt. Kyushibihu." Called out Kitamasu and Katasune together. At this all three rushed as fast as they could towards the city. They made it their in about 4 minutes, and were at the entrance to the house in another 5.
They entered the house and walked into the kitchen. After that his masters took Naruto on a partial tour of the house. There was a huge Library, 2 huge dojos, and an indoor pool room. There was also an entertainment room. There were over 29 bathrooms and 13 guest rooms. The final room they showed him he guessed must be his. There was a huge door shaped like a fox head.
They walked into his room and once again Naruto was awestruck. THE ROOM WAS FUCKING HUGE!! In the center was a bed that was alone about half the size of the apartment he had in Konoha. In one corner there was a wrap around couch with a T.V. In another corner there was a desk. In the corner opposite the T.V was a giant hot tub. The final corner had two doors one to a bathroom and one to a closet that was already full, he decided he'd check that out later.
The room had a black carpet and ceiling along with two of the walls being black. The other two walls were red. Or the walls there were many different designs including a large fox, a falcon, and a leopard. Each of these took up a wall while there was a picture of them curled together on the ceiling. The pictures were all done in gold.
They went back to the Kitchen and had a quick dinner of chicken and rice. After this Katasune told Naruto to go get changed into something nice from the closet. And to meet them in the main hallway. He said that they had some stuff to talk about.
Naruto while confused about his orders followed them and went back and picked out a dark gray suit with an orange shirt and white tie. He was surprised that everything fit perfectly. After getting changed he headed back to find his master standing in front of one of the doors he didn't go into before.
Kitamasu and Katasune both looked very solemn as they opened the door and beckoned him inside. He entered into a huge chamber that must have been carved out of the mountain itself. There were three chairs all facing the center of the room where there was a pedestal. The trio entered and all sat down.
After several minutes of silence Kitamasu decide to break the silence with a world shattering statement "Naruto we haven't been completely honest with you. We are not human" Naruto Choked at this. This was not what he had expected. "What do you mean you're not human?" he asked confusedly. "We should probably start where at the beginning for you. Do you know the story of the Kyubi?" asked Katasune
Now it was Naruto's turn to give an earth shattering statement "Which one?" Naruto asked. This confused the Masters "What do you mean which one" asked Kitamasu. "Well I know the bullshit story Konoha feeds everybody that Yondaime killed the Kyubi and sacrificed himself to do so….And I also know the true story about how he actually died sealing it into me as an infant." Naruto said matter of factly.
"WHA?? HOW?? WHEN?? WHAAAA??" The two masters asked to shocked to speak. "Well when your hated and beaten everyday of your life you grow up fairly quickly. I'm a lot smarter than everyone gives me credit for it wasn't that hard to piece everything together…now how does this have to do with you not being human?"
"Well to tell the truth were from a parallel dimension where the kyubi was freed with no complications. We were split in half by another freed Kyubi from another dimension. He is the one who sealed your eyes. Unknown to most of man kind there is an interdimensional war going on right now"
"Ok I'm confused what is everyone fighting over?" Naruto asked "Well there are these things called life stones although they are technically fragments of the original lifestone which was broken by an evil Kyubi/Naruto many dimensions away. The explosion shot fragments across every dimension and since then good and evil have been battling trying to get all the fragments." Kitamasu stopped to breath
Katasune picked up where he left off " you see whoever controls the whole life stone or even just the majority of it gets incredible power. Our side, the good side wants to seal the power away so that it never tempts anybody again. The evil side or order, short for order of death, wants it to rule all dimensions." Katasune needed a break so Kitamasu agreed to finish up the explanation.
"Right now were tied dead even and this is the last dimension as far as we know so whoever wins this dimension will most likely win total in our final battle. We would like to induct you into our halls as a protector, short for protector of life."
"I would love to help in this quest" naruto said with out a second of thought. "wait" said Katasune, before Kitamasu added " you become immortal at least until the war is over, however you can add two people no questions asked into the Protectors and you can make suggestions about possible candidates for our group"
Naruto thought about it…and as he thought his face set into a look of sheer determination "I'll do it" he said with utmost conviction. Both of his masters said they would transform into their natural form for most of the time except when teaching him and they transformed into two sleek foxes each with 9 four tails and 1 short tail. One was red one was brown go figure. "we will begin the initiation and then start training immediately." They spoke in unison.
The foxes beckoned Naruto to come forward to the pedestal they than handed him a beautiful golden knife. It had a foot long blade and a 7-inch long handle. The cross guard looked like two foxes running in opposite directions.
The two foxes spoke in unison again but this time it was with a demonic tone "Do you swear loyalty to the good of all people" "I do" "Do you swear by your blood" "I do" and with that naruto cut his wrist in a cross pattern and guided completely by instinct he dripped his blood onto the pedestal. The pedestal flashed once and went dull.
Kaitamasu then smiled at Naruto and said "That's it but know this Naruto. The fragments have way of finding their way to us so you don't have to give up you goals to support this, just when you find a fragment or an order member with a fragment you need to fight do you understand?" Naruto thought about it for a moment before smiling at Kitamasu and Katasune and he said "I understand that perfectly"
"Now lets get training we only have 6 years and we have a lot to cover" yelled Katasune at Naruto who just smiled and nodded while running back to his room to room to change.
Kitamasu looked at his other half and grinned "I think he's gonna go far eh?" "Indeed …indeed he is"

AN: I had planed on putting the first part of training in this chapter but I couldn't do it
I no Naruto seems to be older than 6 but he's had to grow up faster and he won't change much in that sense in the 6 year training
Anywho what do you think of this idea I put in the story? I want some input
sooo…anyone who figures out one of the little tricks I did I will tell you a single pairing of your choice….if anybody figures out both of the tricks I'll tell them all the pairs!! Start searching
Read and review please )
