'Let's go Naruto the western countries awaits us' said Kurama joyfully 'There is just a small problem. Itachi never said WHERE that boat is' 'Then look into that scroll he gave you perhaps he had written it down. At the same time you can sign that raven contract'
Naruto opened the scroll and found indeed the location to that boat. The only problem he must travel through part of Earthcountry and then through the entirety of Swampcountry 'Oh joy. First I must go through a country which utterly despise Konoha so they will happily hunt me down and torture me to get the knowledge on how to use the Rasengan. If it wasn't bad enough getting through Swampcountry will take AGES due to their special swamps. No one without the correct jutsu can walk on top of the swamps so I have to go around EVERY single swamp and that fucking country isn't known for the lack thereof quite the CONTRARY in fact' ranted Naruto.
'Stay positive Naruto. At least you get to enjoy the beautiful sights Swampcountry has to offer. I have heard they have large swamps more large swamps and even far more very large swamps' Kurama replied and started laughing hysterically 'ha ha very funny. I am terribly sorry that I don't laughed out loud but I am afraid my ability to laugh died from the sheer funniness of your comment' Naruto remarked dryly.
It took Naruto three weeks to finally reach the location and three more days to sail across the ocean. After he reached the west he travelled aimlessly through the land for nearly two month and saw in every town he passed the toll the six century long war took from the civilians. Everyone eyed him suspiciously some even with fear in their eyes.
There was one particular incident he will never forget. During his seventh week a little boy accidentally ran into him and that boy was terrified his mother even begged to spare her sons life and offered her services as payment. It horrified him and at that day he made a vow. Naruto vowed to destroy the warlords who ruled their territories through fear and terror. He vowed to unite the west and bring peace even if it cost him his very life.
But despite his vow he had no idea how to achieve his goal. He was alone well he had a powerful ally in Kurama but it wasn't far from enough he need more allies. The problem was the humans in the west trusts no one that easy due to the long war so it will take a while to gain even one ally.
He continued to travel for one week and in that week he heard a rumour about a monster in the icy mountains every soldier who dared to climb the mountains was never seen again. Kurama urged him to go to the mountains and try to convince this monster to join him. So Naruto started to climb the mountains and cursed Kurama vividly. The icy mountains truly deserved the name it was cold extremely cold.
What Naruto and even Kurama didn't realize was that they were already found by this monster. The icy winds weren't normal winds in fact the winds were infused with small bits of chakra which gave the monster the location of every living being which dared to climb the mountains.
After quite some time Naruto saw a snakelike dragon made of ice flying towards him he narrowly evaded the dragon. When he looked up he saw a young boy around his age facing him with a sword in his hands. The dragon who attacked him circled around the boy in a protective manner.
" Who are you and what do you want here" asked the boy. "I heard a rumour about a monster living here and I came to check if it is true" "Here is no monster I am the only living being here" "So that means you killed all the soldiers who came here" "Yes and you shall be next you filthy lackey"
The boy ran towards him to kill him Naruto jumped out of the way and flashed through some hand signs "Wind style raging storm" Naruto released an enormous wind which send the boy flying and crashing through three trees. The boy quickly got up and continued his attack.
The fight lasted two hours with Naruto as the victor. Naruto panted heavily and looked down to the defeated boy in the snow "Now can you explain me why the fuck did you attack me when I did nothing to deserve that" "Because I will not let you capture me for that bastard warlord Hishikune" "Then let me tell you I have no intention on capturing you. I merely came here to talk to that rumoured monster to try to convince him to help me."
"oh really" replied the boy not convinced "Yes and I am glad I came here because you are strong. I really want your help to achieve my goal" "Oh and what goal you try to achieve" "I want to destroy the warlords and unify the west to one country where peace can flourish"
Hearing this the boy started to laugh hysterically but ended coughing up blood due to his injuries "You lost your mind. You are totally insane or do you really believe you can accomplish that. The world in full of power hungry monsters who will do everything to rule over the world and yet you think you can bring peace"
"From your words I take it that you lost someone very dear to you due to someone in power either that or that person died trying to bring peace to this place. I know of the pain the world can bring that's why I will achieve my dream so that no one will ever have to face such pain" "SHUT UP you bastard. I know you came from the elemental nations. You have no idea of what suffering is. How we normal people suffer how I have suffered and yet you have the sheer audacity to tell me you know of the pain the world can bring"
"You are wrong" Naruto answered harshly "Let me tell you a story of a small boy born in the elemental nations" With that Naruto told the boy his life story when Naruto finished he let the boy some minutes to comprehend all what he have told "So tell me now do I really don't know about pain and suffering"
The boy just looked away "Just like I choose a way what I want to do with my life you have as well.
You can either continue with your pathetic self-pity, you can live your life to your fullest as you see fit or you can help me trying to bring peace" Instead of answering Naruto's question he ask one of his own "You repeatedly told you want to achieve peace but you have never said HOW you want to do it"
"At first I intended to gain powerful allies that is the reason I came here after all. After that it really depends on how strong the enemy is or how many allies I have but it would be a combination of giving hope of a better future to the people and the destruction of the first warlord. After the securing of the first country I hope that there will be people who wished to fight beside me to conquer the other warlords and by doing so slowly but surely conquer country after country and unite everyone under one single country"
"That is utterly insane all warlords are powerful to you really think you can do that?" "Yes I can because I must. The world needs someone to do it and I shall be the one who will do it either with your help or without it"
"I still think it is impossible to do so but I will join you. Even if it is only to say I told you so" "Well then I will make sure that you will never have the opportunity to do so. By the way my name is Naruto Uzumaki" said the blond. "I'm Tohsiro. Toshiro Hitsugaya"
I am sorry if this chapter is rather disappointing since two major events namely Narutos new goal and gainig of his first ally is put together in one single small part but i hope i get better at writing. Nevertheless i hope you enjoyed the part.
