Naruto: After so long we are finally back
Sasuke: Let's start
Naruto: You're no fun at all
Usagi: Konsu does not own the Sailor Moon series or Naruto
Ino: 3, 2, 1...Action
"Ino, hey Ino, wake your fat ass up!"
No sooner had Naruto said these words, Ino's fist connects with his chin, sending him flying high in the air.
'Ouch, a sleeping uppercut, has she been taking lessons from Grandma?'
As Naruto's body drops from the sky, Ino sits up, rubbing her head slowly. Groaning painfully, she blinks hearing a loud thud. Turning around, she saw Naruto on the ground, scrunched up in pain. Cocking her head to the side, Ino stares at Naruto strangely, wondering what happened to him, and she voices this out. Naruto answers in a painful groan.
"Nothing at all, nothing if you don't count a pig's huff hitting my chin."
Ino wasn't stupid. She could see the connection easily. The bruise forming on Naruto's chin, the slight pain in her right fist, and the word pig all fit. Standing slowly, she approaches Naruto, smiling sweetly at him, hiding her anger.
Naruto shivers at the smile. There were only a few times when a girl has ever smiled at him in such a dangerous way. That smile usually spelled danger for him. There were only four women who ever smiled at him like that and they were: Sakura, Tsunade, Anko, and Ino. It was usually Sakura who gave him such a smile before she usually knocked him on the head. Tsunade only smiled at him like that when she was scheming something stupid for missions. Anko, well, it was only twice, and the first time was when she threw a kunai at him during the Chunin Exams. Ino however, Ino she was just violent, as violent as Sakura.
A shadow covers Ino's grinning face, giving her appearance of a demon in Naruto's mind. Ino giggles, and the next minute, only Naruto's painful screams are heard from the forest.
"GYAAAAAA!"
Five minutes later, a smoking Naruto is seen twitching on the ground with Ino staring at the remains of the Hokage Tower sadly. She couldn't understand how this could have happened, how any of this could have happened. Their entire village, destroyed in seconds by an attack from nature. Ino wonders how many survived, how many died, and how many needed medical help. Thinking of the last bit, Ino turns to Naruto anxiously.
"Naruto, we need to get back to the village, I need to help the surviving villagers."
Naruto sits up slowly and gives Ino a long sympathetic stare, and scratches the back of his head nervously, wondering how to go about answering. Seeing Ino's confused stare, Naruto decides to be blunt, seeing how tact wasn't his strongest point.
"We can't go home Ino, because we're not in our world anymore."
It took a few moments for Ino to process what Naruto said, and she responds calmly, in a very condescending tone.
"This is no time for jokes Uzumaki."
"I'm not joking, if you don't believe me, then follow me."
"I'm not going anywhere."
"What, why?"
"Because you might try to prank me or something, I won't fall for it again."
"That was once, damn it Ino, now is not the time. If you don't want to leave, fine. Just use one of your family mind jutsu things and look at my memories."
Ino now knew this was serious. For one, Naruto hated anyone picking through his mind, which is why he hates psychiatrist. For two, Naruto would never let her of all people peak into his mind, knowing she would try to find something to blackmail him with.
'Oh well,' Ino cracks her knuckles and approaches Naruto slowly. 'If the fool wants to take the game this far, then let him, but he better not cry when I find some juicy dirt on him.'
Smirking at the thought of blackmail, Ino places her hand on Naruto's head and closes her eyes in concentration.
'Yamanaka Secret Arts: Mind Diving Jutsu!'
The world around Ino fades, and she feels her consciousness slipping into Naruto's mind. A bright light hits Ino's face, forcing her to snap open her eyes. Blinking slowly, Ino found herself in a strange room surrounded by three large gates. The first one was a gate with the Uzumaki Swirl on it; the gate was cracked open enough for her to walk through. The second gate to her right had a golden crescent moon symbol engraved in it. Strangely, the gate was wrapped in glowing silver chains, and even stranger, it was cracked open, not enough for her to walk through, but enough for her to peek inside. The final door, it was huge, at least a hundred times larger than the other two. There were many engravings in the gate, engravings she didn't recognize at all. Strangely, there was no opening in the gate, no signs of it ever being able to open, but she knew there was a way. Curiosity getting the best of her, Ino approaches the gate, but before she could take even two steps, a voice stops her.
"Don't go near there."
The voice came from behind. Strangely it sounded like Naruto's, but there was something different about it, very different. There was a regal feel to the voice, laced with an undertone of arrogance and power.
'Sounds a lot like Neji.'
Turning to her right, Ino saw a silver mist exiting the gate with the crescent moon. Behind the gate, she saw a cold crystal blue eye glaring at her in apprehension.
"I don't know who you are, but I should warn you, approach that gate and you'll be in pain."
Ino places her hands on her hips, and glares at the teen behind the gate.
"Is that a threat?"
"No fool, I just said it was a warning."
"F-fool, who the hell do you think you are?"
From behind the gate, Ino could see the boy grin, showing off his toothy, yet very arrogant grin.
"The hell I know," The boy's grin drops, his face behind the shadows becoming serious once more. "You have a purpose here right? Then go do what you came for and heed my warning girl, that is, if you don't want that soul of yours crushed for intruding." The boy laughs and Ino could hear his soft, almost soundless footsteps walking away.
Ino huffs and turns away from that gate, to stare at the large gate once more. Now that she was no longer distracted, she could sense something off about the gate. There was a strange sensation of fear suddenly overtaking her. Ino found to her horror she couldn't move, she couldn't breathe, she could no longer think. Ino's vision swarms as she notices a strange aura surrounding the large gate.
Suddenly, Ino heard the arrogant voice once more.
"That's why I told you to leave, Idiot Girl. Don't make me have to do this again."
A strong silver gust hits Ino from behind, pushing through the Uzumaki Gate. Ino cries out as she hits the ground. Snapping her head back towards the gate, she saw it close quickly with a loud slam. Wincing at the noise, Ino groans and glares at the sky.
'Wait, a sky?'
Yes, it was a sky, a large bright blue sky. Slowly sitting up, Ino glances around to find she was on a grassy field. Very confused at this point, Ino knew something was wrong. Usually she would have ended up at Naruto's brain from using the Mind Reading jutsu, but somehow she made it to some strange place with gates, and now she was inside of one.
"Damn, what's going on?"
"This is my mind Ino," Ino jumps at the voice and she turns around to find Naruto glaring at her in annoyance. "Geez, what's taking you so long to find that memory?" Grumbles Naruto.
A vein throbs in Ino's forehead in her rising anger, but when she spoke; her voice was filled with the same annoyance as Naruto's.
"Well excuse me for being held up by that split personality of yours." Shouts Ino jabbing her thumb where the gate is.
Naruto turns to see what Ino was pointing at, but found nothing but the vast grassy plain.
"What are you talking about Ino? I don't have a split personality," Ino was about to argue with Naruto when she notices the gate was gone. Opening her mouth to voice out her disbelief, she found once again she couldn't speak, but not because of any power or because she was shocked, but because Naruto was continuing, ignoring her. "Since this is taking too long, I'll just show you the memory."
The world around them suddenly fades, and Ino suddenly found herself back in Konoha.
"It's too bad, I wanted to be the one to crush this little shit village."
Ino turns around to see Memory Naruto, glaring up at Memory Sasuke, her wide eyes matching his. Naruto walks to Ino's side and speaks softly.
"This is what happened after that massive earthquake."
Ino could only watch in horror as the battle took place before her eyes. When Kakashi died, she muffles a sob. Finally when the sky shattered, revealing the eyes, and finally the vortex that pulled her, Naruto, and Sasuke through it, she shuts her eyes, and appears in the outside world once more. Holding her chest, Ino stares up at the blankly staring Naruto.
"Believe me now?" He smirks.
"Yeah, but what was that freaky vortex? I don't remember any of it, but my body, it's full of so much fear, it won't stop shaking."
"It'll stop soon," Naruto turns from Ino and stares off into the distance. "This world is strange Ino. I only ventured out once, but there are so many different things here," Naruto's expression was sober. "So many strange devices and forms of transportation," Ino flinches seeing the excited grin spreading across Naruto's face. Her friend turns her way, his excited smile somehow stopping her quivering body. Naruto leans in close to Ino's face, his grin widening as he speaks his excitement, and what he says next causes Ino to sweat drop in disbelief
"Hey, hey Ino, since we're stuck here anyway, let's enjoy ourselves in this strange new world."
XxXxXxXxXx
- Four Hours Later -
- The High School -
Naru Osaka sighs heavily. This day wasn't looking good at all. After waking up, she found she had fallen asleep with her glasses on while studying and broke them in her sleep, earning an earful from her mother. She burnt breakfast, earning another lecture from her mother. After she picked up some bread from the store near her house, she ran to school so she wouldn't be late, but along the way, she nearly ran into a kid and in her attempt to dodge him (something she really wish she didn't do), she dropped her bread in the muddy water. After cursing the child mentally and giving him a small smile, she took off for school once more, only to arrive late to class and receive detention.
'This really sucks.'
Having taken her seat in the back, Naru then had to witness the same thing she witnesses every day since entering high school, no, since their last year in middle school. Watching her old friend, Usagi Tsukino chats happily away with her friends, her guard, her senshi, the Sailor Senshi. Naru knew Usagi was Sailor Moon, she's known for years now. She also knew Usagi was the reincarnation of Princess Serenity. She never really understood how this came to be. Well, actually she did. Since a few months back, she began having dreams of a time long past. The dreams were more like memories of someone who wasn't she, and yet was, memories of a time during the Silver Millennium. With those dreams, came power and a lot of it. While the dreams started three months ago, she only discovered her power a few weeks ago and has been experimenting as of late, testing the limits of her seemingly everlasting power.
But that wasn't the point at this particular moment, what was, something Naru would never admit loudly, was that she was jealous of the attention Usagi have been giving the senshi, angry that she was forgotten, and heartbroken that it seems like the friendship that they had as children didn't carry on to their high school years. Naru deeply misses her friend. She knew without a doubt if Usagi had never become Sailor Moon, the two would still be friends. Somewhere deep within Naru, she could hear a faint voice, whispering if only Serenity wasn't the heir of the moon, they would still be friends.
Destiny and Fate had really screwed Naru over in more ways than one, and she was very upset.
With detention long over with, Naru makes her way home for the day. Lost in thought as she makes her way through the park, Naru doesn't notice the group of thugs walking her way.
This is when things get worse.
Bumping into the head thug, Naru cries out and falls on her butt. Rubbing it, she glares up at the thug and immediately wish she hadn't when she saw his crazed glare.
'Oh great, this is just wonderful.'
It was such a cliché setting, Naru sighs heavily. A girl in deep thought walking through a park and bumps into trouble. It happens all the time. To complete the cliché moment, all she needed was some handsome guy to come and save her, but it wouldn't happen, such things doesn't happen in real life. Well it does, but she was no Sailor Moon after all.
"Girl, that hurt y'know," The Head Thugs grabs Naru by her arm and violently yanks her up. Crying out once more, Naru glares into the thug's deranged arrogant angry eyes. It was only for a moment, but Naru seriously contemplated driving her free hand through the man's chest and slaughtering his companions. The mere thought of doing this, excited and disturbed Naru greatly.
"Let me go." She cries.
The Head Thug shakes his head laughing.
"No, no, you hurt me and now I'm gonna hurt you," His grin turns lustful. "I might reconsider if you become my woman."
This was really a bad day, but no longer for Naru, but for the man. Naru was now seeing red; she was going to kill this man and his laughing companions. She was going to kill them, if it wasn't for the timely arrival of an idiot blonde, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, holding her in his arms, his hand gripping the man's hand tightly.
Naru could only blink slowly. She didn't know when it happened, but she was somehow in the arms of a very attractive blonde with the most beautiful blue eyes she has ever seen in her life. It didn't help those blue eyes of his were the same shade and depth of Usagi's or that they held the same powerful gaze. Naru blinks once more, this time in realization.
'Wow, I just had a cliché moment. Is this what they call the Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask Formula? If it is, I like it.'
Oblivious to Naru's thoughts, Naruto increases his grip on the man's fist, and to his surprise, breaks his hand. The Thug cries out, and his companions rush to his side, checking him over. Naruto laughs a bit, not sure what happened, but he was sure he lost control of his strength for a second.
'Strange.'
"Um, can you release me please?"
"Huh?"
Naruto looks down at the blushing Naru and grins awkwardly.
"Sorry," Naruto sets Naru down. "Are you alright?" He ignores the screaming thug, more concern over Naru's condition.
"Thank you, but I'm fine." Naru dusts off her clothes and gives Naruto a gentle smile. "I think you may want to run." Naru points at the thugs to see them gathering, each holding a knife, each glaring murder at the smirking Naruto.
"Me run? I promised myself long ago I would never runaway again, besides, these guys aren't even worth the thought." Naruto cracks his knuckles, grinning wildly and charges the group, beating them effortlessly.
Naru watches on smiling, and her smile grows hearing their painful cries. The smile slowly drops seeing a few officers approaching. Raising her hand to warn Naruto about them, she suddenly stops and lowers her hands, thinking something interesting was about to happen. Like she thought, something did, and she laughs behind her hand watching Naruto punch one of the officers in the face, knocking him out. Deciding to have some more fun, she shouts out at Naruto.
"Blondie, you should really run, you just hit a police officer."
Naruto takes a minute to register what she said, a minute too long however, because the next thing he knew, he was on the ground being handcuffed. Mind finally registering what was happening, Naruto screams out.
"GAH, I'M BEING ARRESTED!"
Laughing at Naruto's plight, she gives Naruto a small grateful wave.
"Thank you for the help, you really lifted my mood," Giving Naruto one last smile, she walks away, ignoring Naruto's shouts for help and his cries that he was innocent. A strong sensation suddenly washes through Naru and she stops cold. Information suddenly enters her mind and she turns back to the struggling Naruto.
'An invader? He's from another dimension?'
Closes her eyes, she could feel similar presences to Naruto all around. One was near, very near and she glances at a tree to see a shadow, but it was gone the moment her eyes landed on it. There was another presence slowly moving to the north, it being pursued by three familiar senshi. A little away from them was another, it steadily gaining distance, it with another invader. There was another invader, vastly more powerful than the others and the boy in front of her. This one was different however. It was appearing and disappearing at a rapid rate, almost as if it was being chased by something.
"Sailor Pluto is probably chasing him." A voice whispers in the back of her mind.
Naru hums contemplating this as she walks away from the idiot and the cops. Deciding to check on the invader being chased by the Senshi of Water, Wind, and Death, Naru vanishes in the wind, leaving Naruto to his fate.
"GAAAH, GET OFF!"
Naruto throws the officers off him with a burst of strength and breaks out of the cuffs effortlessly. Breathing in a deep sigh, thinking he can now deal with them without any trouble, he hears a scream, destroying his hope of finishing things without any trouble.
"Ahh, he just beat up all these officers, someone call for help."
"Damn it!" Shouts Naruto loudly.
As if this was a summoning, five officers appear on the scene. The three officers glare at the stun looking Naruto. The three officers turn their gazes on their down companions, the unconscious people on the ground (the thugs), and finally back at the sweat dropping Naruto, he somehow knowing they have completely misread the situation on one part.
The moment Naruto saw them reaching for the batons attached to their waist, Naruto decides to do the right thing and run before he causes any more trouble.
"GET BACK HERE!"
The officers chase after the escaping blonde, he easily losing them. It's unfortunate that he didn't notice the officers calling for back up. Entering the city, Naruto weaves pass all the people on the sidewalk, trying to gain as much distance from the officers as possible, not realizing he had already lost them. Which is why he was shocked when he spots three officers in his path. Knowing he was going too fast to stop in time without running into them, Naruto kicks off the ground into the air and flips over the officer's heads. The moment his feet touch ground, he sprints off in another burst of speed.
"GET BACK HERE!"
Naruto turns back to the officer and shouts back.
"NO WAY, YOU'LL ARREST ME!"
This was quickly growing tiresome. There was no escaping them. Too persistent, they were far too persistent for their own good.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" Shouts Naruto.
Having enough of this game of Arrest the Ninja, Naruto focuses a little chakra to his feet, and leaps high in the air, stunning all who saw him. Landing on the edge of the building he was next to, Naruto glares down at the police and laughs at them.
"Ha, you can't catch the Great Naruto; he'll run circles around your ass."
"Are you seriously taking about yourself in the third person?"
Ino's hands were on her hips as she glares at Naruto. She's been tracking Naruto since she caught him in the park fighting the civilians. When she learned he was beating the police, she had to stay behind for a few minutes to alter their memories. By the looks of things, she would have to do the same with the officers down below.
Altering memories took a lot out of her; she was going to have to make Naruto her slave for the next few hours until she fully healed.
"Never mind, don't answer that," Ino walks to the edge of the building to stare down at the officers. Placing her hands in a seal, she focuses on her chakra. Releasing her seal, she places her hands together once more, but in a way so her index fingers and thumbs were touching the other. Bringing her hands up so she was staring between the gaps, she moves her hands so the officers were in her line of sight. Once she got it, she smirks and activates her jutsu.
Yamanaka Secret Arts: Memory Shift
A flash releases from the hole her hands made, blinding the officers briefly. When they were able to see once more, they blink, wondering why they were staring at the top of a building, when the reason came back to them.
"Why were we searching for a cat again?"
"Don't know."
"Let's return to our post."
"Right, I hate cats anyway always running away."
"You chase cats."
"My daughter's."
"Bummer."
Back on the roof, Naruto wipes some sweat from his face. It was unnaturally hot. Naruto didn't know much about this world, which was a lot because he knew nothing at all, but he was sure this intense heat wasn't a natural thing. Ino who was extremely sensitive to chakra knew the heat was the cause of a jutsu, and she knew exactly who the cause was.
'That's right, Sasuke made it here too, but who are those three overwhelming cold chakras with him?'
Ino thought she should tell Naruto about this, but knowing him he would rush towards the battle the moment Sasuke's name was mentioned. She couldn't have that. They were in a bad enough situation already with them being in a new world. Ino really didn't need Naruto going Sasuke crazy on her right now.
"What's with this heat?" Groans Naruto.
"Who knows, but let's get out of here." Answers Ino quickly she focusing chakra to her feet and leaps across the building and over the street, high in the air. Down below no one saw her, but some could spot an abnormally large shadow passing over the ground. Some thought it was a big bird and looks up, but saw only a blur. Ino lands on the opposite building across the street and turns to Naruto, only to find him already heading her way, directly for her. Screaming, Ino waves her arms in panic, something she realizes was very stupid the moment her eyes met with Naruto's.
'Wait, why didn't I move?'
Ino would have to get her head checked out later because of her brief moment of stupidity.
"Gah!"
CRASH
Ino would also have to see a doctor, because she was sure her back just made a nasty crack.
"Ugh."
Ino groans painfully, her eyes slowly opening. Blinking slowly, she saw the bright blue eyes of Naruto gazing down at her, a crimson blush covering his cheeks. Feeling some pressure on her chest, Ino glances down to see Naruto's hands groping her breast, grinning like the man he fondly called the Pervy Sage.
"So soft."
Ino face slowly turns red, not just from embarrassment, but from rage.
"Y-y-y-you." Stutters Ino angrily, a vein pulsating violently on her forehead and clinched fist. "WHERE THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE TOUCHING?" Ino's fist connects with Naruto's face, sending the poor boy soaring far into the sky, he screaming all the while, his form becoming a star in the bright sky.
"I'M SORRY!"
XxXxXxXxXx
- Sometime Later -
Naruto was sitting on the bench, looking very annoyed as Ino bandages his head. The girl was also annoyed. Not only was she groped by Naruto of all people, but she had to bandage him up as well. It wasn't her fault the idiot had landed on the woman's side of a public bath house.
'Okay, maybe it was. I did hit him after all.'
However, it wasn't her fault that the women and girls in the bath house decided to beat the crap out of the idiot. Oh no, that was all on them. Well, not entirely. If Naruto wanted to, really wanted to, he could have escaped without allowing them to hit him. Then again, considering who Naruto has a deep crush on and how many times he allowed her to hit him, Ino thinks he did allow them to hit him, which proved a theory she had about Naruto long ago.
'He's a masochist.'
Sighing, she finishes wrapping Naruto's head and asks a very important question.
"What are we going to do Naruto?"
Naruto tittles his head back and glares at the cloudy sky. The heat from earlier has long since faded and with it, so did his excitement about being in the new world. There were many things to consider. The one that stuck out the most was how they were going to return home and if they could, how? There could possibly be a hint in the few dozen of the scrolls he and Ino scavenged from the pile of rubble from the destroyed Hokage Tower. Doing things this way would take quite awhile unless he used the Shadow Clone Jutsu, but even then, he would have to understand them. Naruto groans remember what Ino had said earlier after they had found a few complicated scrolls filled with complicated info about a complicated jutsu.
"There is no way you can understand this, I'll hold onto it."
"I can understand them!"
"From what I know of you, and trust me, I know a lot. You trying to understand this would be like a snowball trying to survive in hell...damn impossible."
Naruto was really going to have to get Ino back for calling him stupid, and he had a few ideas on what to do too.
'Getting back at Ino can come later; right now I need to figure something out.'
To better understand a way to get back to their world, Naruto needed to desperately understand this world and how it flows. There was a strong possibility that there were some people in this world who can help them get home. Maybe like some awesome dimension jumper who can create folds through reality with some cool jewel or someone who can jump from one dimension to another by ripping through reality as if they broke the sound barrier.
'Heh, like someone like that exist. That's almost as crazy as the myth about a woman wearing a sailor fuku who can control time.'
Yeah, like that was possible
"Do you think your summons can help us?" Suggest Ino hopefully.
Shaking his head no, Naruto explains why.
"I tried summoning them earlier, but I got nothing, we're completely cut off from out world Ino."
Seeing the despair beginning to shine in Ino's eyes, Naruto suddenly speaks his earlier thoughts.
"We need to learn about this world Ino, do you have any ideas how we can do this?" Ino gives Naruto a blank stare. "I mean, you were one of the smartest girls back in the academy, I'm sure you must have some idea how to gather information." Ino cracks a small smirk.
"Naruto, Naruto, Naruto, you must not know who you're talking to," Ino stands and speaks out loudly, arrogantly. "Not only was I the smartest girl in the academy, I am a Yamanaka, and gathering information is what we do best." Naruto had to stop from speaking out. Not only was Ino the second smartest girl in the academy, possibly third considering Hinata was too shy to speak out even back then, but Sakura was the first. It went without saying Ino would not only kick his ass into the ground if he said this to her, but she would more than likely he beat him to the level of what Tsunade did to Jiraiya when she almost killed him
Yeah, Ino was psycho like that
"So, what's the plan?" Asks Naruto slowly.
Ino rubs her chin, and grins, and answer appearing instantly.
"The Library," Naruto blinks at Ino's excited shout. "The library is always full of information. We find the library, we get the information we need, it's simple."
Naruto groans pathetically. Having always hated the library, Naruto really didn't want to go. It was like eating vegetables for him, he avoided them at all cost. Well, he did, but after his talk with his mother in his mind, he's been eating them, only a little bit, but he has.
"Sounds like a plan." He responds after a few minutes of silence.
Ino nods slowly.
"An excellent one if I say so myself, and it just so happens I know where the library is."
Naruto was really doubtful and it showed on his face. Growing annoyed at his expression, Ino decides to blow his mind.
"You see," Ino starts in a joyful sing a song voice. "While you were messing around, I was gathering information properly like any properly trained ninja would in a foreign land," Naruto's eyebrow twitches, knowing this was a jab at him. "By using my Mind Diving Jutsu, I was able to discover a few tidbits about this place. Apparently were in a place called Tokyo, Japan," Naruto nods, having heard the name being said a few times around the city. "Thankfully, the mind I dived into belonged to some nerd whose mind could be on par with Shikamaru's, and unlike that lazy bum, she goes to the library nearly every day."
Ino failed to mention that this nerd's mind was similar to Naruto's in structure, but with only two gates instead of three, and unlike before when she went snooping around, she went straight to business, not wanting to meet any split personalities. Unlike the chained door in Naruto's mind with the Moon Planetary Symbol, this one had Mercury, and it was half way open with no chains bounding it.
'As much as I wanted to see what was behind that gate, I have a feeling I would have been killed if I stepped even one foot in that direction.'
Pushing this in the back of her mind for now, Ino walks off with a shout.
"Come on Naruto, we're burning daylight?"
Naruto groans again, a little weary about Ino's perky attitude. Following after her, he eyes her critically. Something was very wrong Ino, Naruto knew this, he didn't know what, but he was sure it had to do with her overly excited and happy attitude. Pushing it to the side for now, Naruto follows after Ino silently.
After twenty minutes of walking through the city, the two arrives at the library. While Ino was grinning like everything was right with the world, Naruto was sulking like his puppy died five seconds ago. Entering the building, the two walks up to the front desk where a young woman was sitting, reading a magazine in boredom. For a moment, an image of Tenten sitting behind the desk at a weapons shop reading a magazine with the same expression flashes through their minds. The woman taking notice of the two sighs deeply in irritation and sets her magazine down. Clearly wanting nothing to do with them, the woman eyes them, more importantly, their clothes with an almost amused glare.
"Nice clothes."
Hearing the amusement in her voice and annoyed at the rudeness they were showed earlier, Ino was about to start an argument with the woman she now thinks of a bitch, when Naruto speaks up, grinning broadly.
"Thanks," The woman blinks at Naruto's proud response, she silently wondering if the kid knew she was insulting him, but sighs, deciding to put him off as an oblivious idiot. "Do you think you can help us out here, we need some information about this place?"
Boredom growing by the second, the woman points to the right.
"Walk in that direction and you'll find all books on information from the best way to talk to a girl, the ins and outs of a girl, how to treat a girl, how to make love to a girl, the best sex," As the woman goes on with a growing smirk, Naruto becomes redder and redder, clearly embarrassed. Ino on the other hand was becoming angrier by the second, her face red because of her rage. Becoming fed up with the woman, Ino grips the desk tightly. The desk cracks from her grip, and the woman stares down at it, and then at the glowering Ino, she breaking out into a cold sweat.
"Information, not that crap you were feeding Naruto, I want to find out real information, like the History of Japan and all things connected to it. Maps, technology, culture, everything, you hear me?" Ino leans into the woman's face, her eyes darkening greatly, showing how stressed and serious she currently was. "Everything!" She repeats slowly as if the woman was slower than a snail.
'Bet she is?'
The woman for her part was silent, trying to absorb everything that had happened. Once she did, she cracks a small smirk. Still a bit pale, she answers, the dull tone she's been speaking in since she met the duo still present.
"Like I said kid, everything is on that back wall," The woman's smirk grows a bit. "Well, there's also more detailed books in the isles near the wall. The library is open for twenty four hours, so spend all the time you want researching," The woman hums for a second before speaking once more. "There are restrooms near the entrance, on the second floor near the kids section, and some over there where we keep our manga," Naruto's eyes brighten hearing manga. "We have a cafeteria in the basement, so if you get hungry go down there and grab a bite," The woman's eyes sparkle a bit, her smirk never fading. "Is there anything else, Scary Blonde Girl?" The woman had apparently gotten over whatever fear she had of Ino within seconds, if she had feared the girl at all.
"What's your name?"
The woman reminded Ino of Shikamaru, a lot off Shikamaru actually. The brown hair and eyes practically screamed Nara, but Ino knew better. Thinking of Shikamaru causes her eyes to lower slightly.
'I hope Shikamaru is okay.'
Ino already knew what happened to Choji and she honestly didn't want to think about him right now, she didn't want the dam to break now. Feeling a hand on her shoulder, she turns to the grinning Naruto. She hadn't said anything, but somehow her fellow blonde knew what she was feeling and was trying to comfort her, the thought warmed her heart.
"Ino I'm hungry, let's eat before we start studying."
The warm feeling died instantly. Forcefully removing Naruto's hand from her shoulder, Ino glares at the smirking woman, her eyes shining brightly as if she saw something interesting.
"We're just friends." States Ino firmly, knowing what the woman was thinking. "So, what's your name?"
Grinning coldly, the woman props her head on her hand, and answers.
"The Messenger of Chaos, the name is Isis, it's a pleasure."
Blinking at the introduction, Naruto speaks out before Ino could, he knowing she was going to say something very rude to the very strange lady.
"Riiiight," He drawls out pushing Ino away, giving Isis an uneasy smile. "We'll be over here doing our research."
Isis (24) gives the two a cheeky smile.
"Have fun and don't forget about those books I mentioned."
Naruto answers without missing a beat.
"I won't."
A sharp slap is heard after the answer.
"Perverted Moron."
"I was just joking Ino-san."
Excitement dying down as the two vanish down the aisle, Isis sighs and lifts her magazine once more. Flipping open to a random page, she begins reading, the excitement fading from her eyes, bored once more.
'Until next time, my Little Play Things.'
Over with the two ninja, they had found the section Isis had informed them about, and quickly went to business learning everything they could about the strange world they were in. Well, Ino was, Naruto was busy reading manga, laughing at some nonsense. Quickly becoming fed up with Naruto, she tells him to go somewhere else and let her do all the research.
"Eh, but Ino, don't you want me to help?"
"Leave."
"Suit yourself."
Naruto runs off, leaving Ino to herself. Now with some free time, Naruto wonders where to go, what to do. As he wonders endlessly through the library, bored out of his mind, Naruto hears a scream, multiple screams.
"KYAAA!"
"MONSTER!"
"RUN!"
Hearing the panic, fear, and desperation of the screams, Naruto runs for the source. The screams grew in number the closer he came. Running pass a window, Naruto skids to a stop to stare at what was happening outside in disbelief. There, outside, draining the life out of a man was some kind of demon thing. It was a woman, he knew that much by the large bust it had, but it was red. The demon thing had black chains wrapped over her exposed breast, between her legs, and around her right arm. Covered in tribal tattoos with long ankle-length black hair and piercing black eyes, the demon thing looked every bit like a demon one would expect from hell or the demon world.
"What the hell?"
Naruto had many thoughts about this situation, many he would have to share with Ino later knowing they would piss her off. That would have to come later however, because the demon thing had its claw around a man's neck, draining the life from him. Naruto could see it, he could feel it, the demon was draining life energy somehow, and it was growing stronger.
'Must be a side effect from using Sage Mode so often.'
Whatever the case, Naruto needed to save that man, and he needed to do it now. Clinching his fist, Naruto opens the window and glares at the demon, a wild determined grin spreading across his face.
'This world, I wonder how many surprises it has for me.'
On the second floor, right above Naruto, watching silently was Isis. The woman grins watching Naruto appear above the head of the demon in an instant. The boy throws a vicious kick at the demon's head, catching it by surprise. The demon cries out and releases the man as it's sent crashing into a nearby car. Chuckling, Isis pops a piece of pocky in her mouth and chews slowly.
"Nice kick," She mumbles. "Hahaha, Krue was not ready for that, but don't think it'll be easy, Krue is one of our demons after all," Isis tilts her head sensing a familiar group approaching at high speeds. "One might not be enough, no matter," Isis waves her hand and she vanishes with the blow of the wind, her voice echoing across the clearing, reaching Naruto's ears.
"This should be an interesting meeting."
Wondering what the voice was and what the voice meant, Naruto glances at all the down bodies with a growing scowl.
"Damn, I need to get these people to a hospital," Spotting a woman watching the scene with wide eyes and he barks at her. "Why are you standing around, these people need to get to a hospital? Where is it?" The woman runs over and gives him the directions. Nodding, Naruto stands and places his hands in a familiar seal. The woman was about to question what Naruto was doing, when Naruto shouts out a familiar phrase.
Shadow Clone Jutsu
Ten clones appear, frightening the woman. The clones and the original gave the woman a strange stare, and quickly dismiss her to tend to the down people. All of them but the original grabs a person and runs off in the direction of the hospital, ignoring the many shocked and frighten stares thrown his and their way. The original had his eyes on the demon, its motionless body still placed in the car. Its eyes however were glued on Naruto, those malicious murderous eyes full of death and destruction. The demon removes itself from the car and roars at Naruto. Naruto draws out two kunai and falls into a defensive stance, ready to battle, when he hears a shout, four of them.
Mars Flame Sniper
Jupiter Oak Evolution
Mercury Aqua Rhapsody
Venus Love and Beauty Shock
The four attacks slam into the demon, sending it crashing through the car and into the building behind it. Shocked, Naruto turns around to see four beautiful girls in sailor fukus glaring at the demon and then at him.
"Whoa."
There was nothing else he could say in this situation. Well, there was, but there was sure fire chance he'll be killed by the women if he did.
"Hey kid get out of here before you get hurt." Orders Sailor Jupiter
Naruto bristles at the comment.
"Who are you calling a kid?" Naruto points to his hitai-ate with his thumb. "The moment I received this, is the moment I became an adult; and besides, aren't we like the same age?"
"Tch, yeah, and what are you suppose to be a ninja?" Jupiter continues, not caring about Naruto's insulted expression. "Don't answer that, just get the hell out of here." She orders once more.
In a not so rare act of immaturity, Naruto crosses his arms over his chest, glares at Jupiter, and responds accordingly.
"Hell no!"
Seeing the demon coming out of the hole, Venus gives Jupiter a small nod.
"Get him out of here; we'll take care of this."
Nodding, Jupiter approaches Naruto, her eyes boring holes into Naruto's unflinching ones. The boy had guts to stand up against one of the sailor senshi. No, he had more than that because he was standing up against Sailor Jupiter as if there was no demon behind him, glaring holes through his back. Jupiter stops in front of Naruto and glares down at him, he a little shorter than she, but still able to glare at her with only a slight tilt of the head.
"Leave!"
"No!"
Jupiter notices the demon preparing to attack and with no options left, she grabs Naruto's hand to forcefully drag him away from the scene, but grasped nothing but air. Blinking owlishly, Jupiter stares down at her empty hand and then at Naruto, who was a few feet away from her, farther away than he was before. Seeing her surprise, Naruto smirks at her.
"Sorry, but, I don't plan on moving from here, I plan on finishing what I started," Naruto glares at the glowering Jupiter. "Don't get in my way." Naruto didn't know who the girls in the sailor uniforms were, but the thought of having anyone interfere in one of his fights really pissed him off. Turning away from Jupiter, Naruto went to face off with the demon, when a hand grabs him by the shoulder tightly. Wincing at the strength of the grip, Naruto whirls around to trade blows with the tall girl, but stops cold seeing it wasn't her.
"Leave."
It wasn't Sailor Jupiter, but Sailor Moon grabbing him, staring at him coldly, and ordering him with the intensity of a ruler.
"Huh?"
A strange feeling wells up in Naruto seeing Sailor Moon. There was something off about the girl. He couldn't place what it was, but there was something very off about her. Why he thought something was off about the girl, was because of the feelings threatening to overtake him as he gazes into her beautiful blue eyes. Naruto could identify the feelings clearly, they were feelings he experienced for a very long time until recently, feelings he could never truly forget about no matter how hard he tried.
Hate, resentment, sorry, rage, and betrayal, all of these emotions flares through Naruto's eyes as he gazes at Sailor Moon. Strangely, these very same emotions flares through Sailor Moon's, her grip on Naruto's shoulder increasing by the second. Naruto's lips slowly curl into a snarl, and Sailor Moon's eyes narrow slowly, a cold gleam overtaking her eyes. Opening her mouth, Sailor Moon speaks once more, her words shocking not only Naruto, but her friends.
"Get out of here Naruto or I'll make you!"
Naruto's face darkens greatly, silently wondering how she knew his name, but responds nonetheless.
"Bring it!"
