A breath in the form of an exhale escaped Naruto's lips. He stirred as disorientation suddenly hit him. He took a moment to gather his bearings and assess the situation.

He could feel a presence near enough. Large enough for it to be a sentient so he readied himself for an attack. A solid thud reached his ears indicating whatever was nearby had fallen.

That was then the creature spoke, muttering something clumsiness resulting in Naruto relaxing his guard slightly.

"Umm, excuse me." It sounded like a little girl. She walked up behind him and shook him. "What are you doing here mister?"

Naruto pretended to be just waking up by yawning and stretching out, leaving his kunai under his side of course. He began sitting up while turning to her and subtly sliding the kunai he had on his person further down his sleeves.

He opened his eyes to get a good look at the person. She was a small and rather short looking child wearing a light blue dress whose style was unlike anything he had seen before. It must be something traditional to whatever this plain was. He also couldn't help but notice she had blond hair and blue eyes like him not to mention her hair went almost to the ground. "Why hello there. What's a little girl likeyou doing out in the forest all alone?" He asked.

"I live here." She said without hesitation. She smiled brightly at Naruto. "I'm Sarah."

"Well Sarah that's a pretty name. My name is Naruto." He introduced himself. "What do you mean you live here?"

She looked at him before saying. "I live here in the forest." He looked her up and down again. Her cloths weren't that dirty so she must have had a home or something around here.

He turned around to leave but she jumped on his back. He didn't notice the small red energy going from his body to hers. "Let's have fun!" She yelled in his ear.

He winced at the volume of the voice. "Sorry, but I have to leave." He said. He let her down but she jumped back up.

"Carry me then!" She yelled again. "Please, please, please." She pleaded over and over again.

Naruto bit his cheek as he mulled over the situation. He supposed it wouldn't hurt to placate the little girl a bit while he gathered his bearings. "You win." He jumped into a tree and started to get as far away as possible.

Sarah was screaming her head off in joy as they seemingly flew through the air. She held on as tight as she could. Just then he saw a large blast of fire shoot up to his far left. He flipped mid jump and started heading for it. With that he began gathering channel nature chakra so we use Sage Mode. With Sage Mode activated he was able to home onto a familiar energy signature.

'Taranee.'

He then sensed another familiar signature. Will. He continued closer seeing a large figure with an even larger element with an unmoving Will on the ground.

Naruto jumped down and sat Sarah on the ground. "Stay here, ok," He said firmly before pulling out a kunai and charging forth.

Power.

That was what coursed through Raythor's veins. A pure unfiltered Europehia that encouraged him to fight. No sense of honor coursed through his mind. His thoughts were clouded with killing the redhead before him that along with his friends embarrassed him time after time again.

She had been a thorn in his side from day one. He didn't know why, but he blamed her for being thrown into the Abyss of shadows. And now he got to kill her. Not Phobos, Not Cedric, HIM.

Raythor raised his sword and smiled a smile that almost broke his face. He brought the object up ready to sever her head. As it descended down something clanged against his blade with enough force to cause the thrust to impact against the earth.

He then noticed a flash to his right and turned his head just fast enough to see a human male readied to attack. He jumped back just in time to see the blonds leg swept right where his head would have been. He quickly spun and landed on his feet with ease. The blond began sizing him up with cold, sharp eyes. The air around him began to chill as the human's intent to kill was made quite prominent.

"You're probably wondering why can't I move?" he taunted him. "It seems the inhabitants of this world aren't savvy when it comes to externalizing their intent to kill. And this is where your life…" he seemed to pause as his attention was drawn elsewhere. That brief interruption was also Raythor needed to gain the ability to move and attack.

Naruto countered by grabbing his wrist and quickly pick pocketing the creature. For their power the inhabitants of this world were was rather slow. Despite the aura of strength this fighter gave off was near rookie jounin level he highly doubted it could keep up with the lowest of chunin. With that he finished with a palm strike, using frog kata to counter sending the creature flying. As much as he wanted to finish that thing off the others were in trouble and helping Will was his first priority. Naruto scooped Will and took her back to Sarah.

"Will…will wake up." He gently slapped her face to wake her up. Wills eyes opened and focused on him. First they flashed in anger because he was so close and she didn't know if he was a friend or foe. Though that look soon turned to horror once she realized she couldn't move.

"I know you don't trust me, but you have to believe me I'm here to help. I've managed to find the antidote." He took out a cream colored pill and put it to her mouth. She hesitated then took the pill and swallowed it.

"Whose side are you on?" she managed to say through the disgusting chalky like taste of the antidote.

"My own."

"My own," He answered as he picked her up bridal style as Sarah jumped on his back. It was another couple minutes before the antidote got the poison out of Wills system. When it did happen she started moving on her own. To her surprise it took almost all she had to keep up with him. He was fast for a normal person. Then again that lightning thing he did was far from normal.

"Your friends are in trouble. I can sense their powers and if the creature they're fighting have any nasty tricks like the one you had they're most likely in trouble." He said as he briefly closed his eyes.

"Kage bushin no Jutsu..." He silently whispered as three copies materialized around him. He couldn't help but smile, this was certainly nostalgic. Will's eyes widened at the implication of such an ability, especially at the ease of which he used it. What the hell was he?

Elsewhere Irma and Taranee had both been attacked and poisoned by Tracker and Sniffer. Tracker was known throughout the country as Phobos's top scout and hunter, a green skin creature with crimson eyes, piano like teeth and massive frame. The ghoul like creature never went anywhere without his flail and tracking hound Sniffer.

A hellhound like creature with cobalt skin and blue eyes.

Sniffer walked over to the guardian of water as its mouth salivate. It opened his maw showing off sharp, elongated teeth with bits of flesh stuck in it. Just before it could make the fatal bite it took a whiff of the air. It whimpered before turning around and running back to Tracker.

"Your partner seems to be the one with the brains between you two."

Naruto dropped down in front of them, separating the downed guardians and their attackers. "Leave now."

Though, the goblin like creature replied by summoning a swarm of bats to attack Naruto. Naruto had a response of his own by fling shuriken and quickly the kagebunshin technique on them to multiple and shred the little creatures. He leaped towards the creature as he readied to attack. To Naruto's surprise the creature used his flail sending out a pulse of demonic energy that halted the blind in his trackers.

"Sniffer. Rip!" it commanded to the formerly cowering canine. The creature took to the air as it opened its mouth and went for Naruto's throat. What it got was his master's shoulder courtesy of the Kawarimi justsu.

The distance from the switch gave Naruto enough time to quickly form duo Rasengans. The techniques hit, sending both master and pet hurtling across the field to parts unknown. He went over to the unconscious Irma and Taranee and scooped them up. It was time for him to join the others.

Hay Lin found herself in a better position than her friends, but not by much. The creature she was fighting was a large and muscular winged-beast known as the Gargoyle. She had been hit with some kind of poison powder earlier that weakened her abilities greatly. A solid blow by the flying creature had knocked the wind out of her. She was now leaning against the tree, helpless as the stone giant towered over her.

She then felt the wind change. It started to swirl like a tornado was coming. She looked in the direction of the change and saw a blond figure making what looked like a swirling ball of wind in his hand.

Several metal objects bounced off the skin of the giant gaining its attention. Just then the Naruto with the ball in his hand disappeared and reappeared in front of gargoyle shoving the ball into his gut. The attack quickly engulfed the creature sending it hurling like it did its compatriots. He then turned to Hay Lin. "Your friends are waiting for you." He told her. Water, Air, and Fire which meant only one more was left

Cornelia looked around. She and Caleb were both poisoned and couldn't move. If only they hadn't gone after that mysterious blond they wouldn't have been in this mess. Suddenly a heavy fog rolled in for seemingly no reason. Then an eerie voice echoed all-around said the following, "Lungs, heart, liver, jugular vein, kidneys, brain, and spinal column. Hmmm, which should I strike first to guarantee death?" They could see Frost hesitate as the voiced echoed from all around them. Frost spun around; trying to track the voice, but when he turned back around his pray was gone.

The real Naruto had received the last of the memories from his kagebunshin. The antidote had been distributed and for the most part those creatures attacking Will and her friends had been taking care of. Sarah meanwhile was still hanging on to Naruto's back absorbing as his energy seemed to wash over her. He sighed in relief that all of the girls were alright. As annoying as this was going to be it looked like their little confrontation was going to happen sooner than planned.
