A/N: Well, here is the second part, or continuation, to the last chapter that ended with Naruto landing in a 'strange, foreign' land. I also changed the power levels to something better, in response to many, not really that many, reviews saying that Naruto seemed far stronger than Natsu at the stated timeframe. Basically, I'm trying to allow him room to grow by the time Canon Fairy Tail starts, but I think I can make it work. Here's the chapter.
Naruto: Aura Mage
Naruto crashed back first on the concrete, the weight of a body landing on him as he wrapped his arms around it to hold it in place. However, as he wrapped his arms around the body, he felt lumps on the person's chest, and squeezing them, he heard a stifled moan that sent blood to his cheeks.
"Kuso, I just felt up a girl, now I'm going to be killed for being a pervert." Naruto thought as he pushed the body off of him, a faint bluish white line connecting to his palm, and spun around on his back to put his feet under and stood up. Dusting himself off, he saw the mist starting to dissipate.
Hearing something, he leaned backwards to avoid a punch that would've connected with his head with considerable force, especially since he heard the wind whistle from the punch. Continuing with the backwards motion, he did a back handspring to avoid the follow up sweeping kick as he landed on the railing of wherever he was.
"Identify yourself, or face the might of a Konoha shinobi. Zabuza, is he one of yours?" The silver haired one said, Naruto snorting at the accusation.
"No, you foolish shinobi, I'm an ally of the Hidden Leaf Village, what is the situation?" Naruto asked, vaguely noticing out of the corner of his eye that his look-a-like was helping the girl he threw off of him, up. Wanting to conserve energy, he released Chaos Mode, Kuro landing lightly on his shoulder with barely any noise.
"We sent no requests for back-up, now identify yourself before I'm forced to put you down." The silver haired man said, Naruto noticing that the mist was almost fully gone; the man with a giant sword, Zabuza, breathing heavily, and one shoulder was bleeding heavily.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, son of Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze, and once again I state, I'm an ally of the Hidden Leaf Village, now cease the interrogation or we'll be forced to fight, as I don't plan on becoming a prisoner without ever doing anything." Naruto stated, only to flick his wrist up, a sword in hand, to deflect several shurikan that fell to the ground. Looking at where they were thrown, he saw his look-a-like with his arm outstretched.
"Be careful, gaki, or you may find yourself-" Naruto started before vanishing in a burst of pure speed, Kuro swinging his tail at the silver haired man, who blocked with his forearms, his breath coming in short bursts showing his fatigue from the battle. Naruto, however, reappeared beside the younger blonde, his sword slicing into his arm. "Without a hand to screw around with!" Naruto voice dropping several decibels to an icy tone.
"Fine, if you won't give your real name, I have no choice but to capture you for interrogation." The silver haired man announced, and then a squeaky chuckle could be heard from one side of the bridge they had chosen for a battlefield. Looking towards the annoying sound, the small group saw a small man with at least 300 men behind him.
"Well, well, what have we here? You're both still alive, oh well, I plan to kill you all anyways, this just means I'll have less to pay when everything is done and over with." The short man said before motioning for his army of mercenaries to attack.
"Well, Kakashi, it looks like I no longer have to kill the bridge builder, so I guess we can work together now. Hear that Haku, you can stop fighting now if you want." Zabuza said, Haku not hearing as she had fallen unconscious, as he grabbed his massive sword with one hand, charging alone at the advancing army, which began to doubt its chances against the famed 'Demon of the Mist' as he swung his sword, killing several frontline runners who couldn't dodge in time.
"Hey Naruto, I'm going to help the old man before he gets himself killed, okay. Try not to get yourself killed while I'm gone, okay?" Kuro said before hopping down from the edge of the bridge, enveloping himself in wind as he shot a small ball of condensed wind at the army, which exploded into sharp wind blades upon impact.
"Well, Kakashi, shall we dance?" Naruto asked rhetorically as Kakashi charged him, throwing a straight punch which Naruto grabbed before throwing Kakashi, sending a fireball after the man which he dodged with a Substitution. Coming at the younger male again, Kakashi sent a mid level kick which sent Naruto skidding back, the pain not registering on his face as blocked with his sword on the next two punches.
Counterattacking with his sword, he spun around, dragging his sword across Kakashi's midsection before he puffed away in smoke that obscured Naruto vision before he sent flying by a Great Fireball Jutsu colliding with his back, and would've burned the flesh had Naruto not lowered the temperature with his aura at the last second.
Front flipping due to the explosion to right himself, Naruto hardened his skin just in time for Kakashi to throw a punch at his gut which the boy was unable to block, however, due to his skin being hardened, he didn't feel the punch, unlike Kakashi who grabbed his hand in pain as he had felt the bones flare up with heat upon impact with the Aura Mage.
"Haha, not so powerful now, are you?" Naruto taunted as he vanished in pure speed, he sword already in mid-swing as he reappeared behind Kakashi, the sword sinking into his shoulder as he winced in pain, the wince turned into a full out cry when Naruto created a second blade which he dug into the Jounin's other shoulder before making the edge's jagged as he pulled them free, the blade resembling saw blades as he chuckled at the blood before shaking his head free of the sadistic thoughts.
"What's wrong with me, I've been savoring the pain ever since I used Havoc Forme, I wonder if it's a side effect since I become more beast-like?" Naruto thought, and because of this, he wasn't able to block or harden his skin for the next attack which sent him flying into the stone edge of the bridge. Then, before he could focus, Kakashi made several hand seals too fast to track with normal eyes, and a giant dragon made of water came up behind Naruto, aiming to envelop his body and drown him.
Throwing his hands up to try and block the attack, he felt a sharp freezing sensation as icy water washed over him before scattering across the bridge as the water dragon began to freeze. Kakashi looked surprised at the sudden showing of Ice Style, despite the fact that another user was not 25 feet away.
"Ice Make, but I haven't met any Ice Makers, unless," Naruto mumbled as he turned to look at the girl. "Hmm, Ice Make is rather rare, of course, I'm not in Fiore any longer, but rather another dimension where I never left, ugh Kami above, am I that obsessed with the color orange." Naruto growled under his breath as he pushed himself to his feet.
Holding his arm behind him, his formed his Aura into a sphere as he vanished in a burst of pure speed to appear above Kakashi, who was too stunned at seeing his sensei signature move to dodge as Naruto thrust his hand down, the sphere of pure aura grinding against the Jounin's body as he was forced face first into the stone underfoot. "AURA SPHERE." Naruto shouted as he back flipped away, Kakashi's body going limp as he passed out from the fatigue and pain.
Naruto started to go and help Kuro, only for a fist to plant itself in his cheek, throwing the boy into a stone barrier that was destroyed upon impact, the stone chips digging into his body. Looking back at who had punched him, he saw Shinobi Naruto shrouded in a red and black cloak of pure chakra.
"Kyuubi." Naruto mumbled before vanishing in pure speed, S. Naruto vanishing as well as sparks flew all over the place, Naruto's blades clashing with S. Naruto's claws. After several attempted strikes, Naruto got the idea of holding S. Naruto in place by crossing his blades as S. Naruto tried to break through his guard before Naruto used him as a handhold to front flip and bring his heel down on his shrouded shoulder, the chakra burning his foot as he made contact. However, he endured the pain and shoved his heel down, being rewarded with a crack from the younger boy's shoulder.
Infuriately, because of his awkward form, S. Naruto broke through his guard, dragging his claws across the red/orange/blonde's leg, before spinning around on his heel to plant a straight kick in his chest, sending him rocketing into the surrounding forest as he gave chase.
Crashing through a tree before rolling to a stop, Naruto barely had time to harden his body as S. Naruto brought a punch down on his stomach; however, the demonified shinobi was granted super strength due to the chakra as blood still erupted from Naruto mouth as if he didn't do anything.
Reacting accordingly, he spun on his back, sending three quick kicks into S. Naruto's chest before he was finally lifted enough for Naruto to get under him and ram his hardened head into the boy's chest, his ribs creaking from the impact as Naruto's skull protested the move.
Going with the force, S. Naruto flipped in the air to wrap his legs around Naruto's neck, twisting his body to try and snap the boy with multitone hair's neck. However, Naruto smirked as he tried a new move he thought of and had wanted to test as multiple needles formed from the hairs on his body, and by proxy, his neck. The little needles slid into S. Naruto's skin without any resistance as he howled in pain, grabbing a tree branch as he brought it down on Naruto head.
Due to S. Naruto legs on his neck, he couldn't see the attack coming as the branch cracked over his head, a migraine to end all migraines planting itself firmly in his head before he roared in pain, and sunk his teeth into the demon boy's leg, drawing red hot blood before bracing himself as he elongated his teeth with aura, and clamped his teeth down as hard as he could, ripping a chunk of the shinobi's leg out.
The boy roared louder than ever as he released the Aura Mage, a tail forming behind him as his wounds began healing. Vanishing a burst of enhanced speed, S. Naruto appeared in front of him, bring his leg up in a standing split as his neck snapped back, the boy's body lifting 10 feet into the air before S. Naruto appeared beside him, spinning to gather power then bringing his elbow down in Naruto's shoulder as the joint protested for a second before popping out of its socket. However, S. Naruto didn't stop there as he grabbed his arm and planted it behind his back before landing full force on the limb, shattering it as sending a mouthful of blood out of the boy's mouth.
"His strength, it far surpasses mine right now, I need to go into Chaos Mode, Kuro where are you!" Naruto screamed, the shinobi pausing for a second before swinging his tail around with the force of an ogre's strength, the limb of pure youki sending the smaller fox deep into a tree behind Naruto before he fell to the ground beside him.
"Haha, you called?" Kuro chuckled before blood sprouted from the word chips embedded in his body. Coughing heavily, he saw the nod and smiled before turning into blood red sparks that wrapped Naruto in their embrace as steam erupted from his body due to the increasing heat and the cool climate. If one listened close enough, they would've heard the snaps and cracks of bones fixing themselves. When the light show finally ended, Naruto stood in all his Chaos Mode glory.
Smiling his foxish grin, he produced two katanas before swinging one clean through a tree as he grabbed it and threw it at S. Naruto, lighting it aflame with his magic as S. Naruto destroyed it with a powerful punch, rushing the Aura Mage, who grinned and weaved around the coming swipes and punches before flipping over a sweeping kick and sinking his twin blades in the offending limb's ankle and kneecap, the demonic shinobi roaring in pain as he grabbed Naruto arm, twisting it around to try and snap it. However, this time, Naruto was ready as he released his grip on the blades, allowing his body to rotate in the air due to the applied force from the demonic shinobi before slamming a heel into the younger boy's gut, another roar of pain erupting from his lips.
Reacting quickly, he was ready when Naruto S. returned the blow, a straight kick causing his ribs to creak as blood spouted from his lips, covering the shinobi's face as he released the mage, swiping futilely at his face to remove the obstruction. Finally, the mist managed to wash it away, and the youki wielding shinobi turned to his opponent, just in time to catch a high kick to the cheek, sending him into a tree, where Naruto pinned up by choking him, wincing as the evil chakra burned his hand.
Trying to endure the pain, he reached behind him and formed an Aura Sphere, only for it to turn a swirling blood red, and frozen white, his two elements swirling together as Naruto shoved the ball of condensed magic into the shinobi's stomach, right over the seal that held the Kyuubi at bay.
The attack sent Naruto S. through the tree, spinning in mid-air to crash through several more trees before skipping across the water to slam into a support beam on the bridge. Naruto huffed as his magical stores began running low, his memories of his mother telling him that this world didn't have Ethernano in the air like Earthland did.
"I… need to fin… finish this!" Naruto breathed out as he saw his opponent, trying to formulate a plan on the fly, a skill his father excelled at, of course, he had Kushina to hold the enemy off while he thought, Naruto, however, didn't have that luxury.
Naruto saw the boy begin crawling out of the shinobi shaped indent in the stone, several large stone falling into the water as he pushed them off of him. The boy smirked as he saw his prey, straight ahead down a long, clear tunnel formed from his flight.
Tensing his legs, he rocketed at Naruto, who groaned before grabbing the attacking boy, and choke slamming him into the ground. Pacing his hand over the seal which began to glow an unholy black, he sent a mental message to Kuro.
"You ready for this? If it works, it could end up corrupting you; then again, it could make you more powerful. I won't force you to do it, but if I don't do this, I'll have to kill him, and something just feels wrong about killing yourself, even if it's not really me." Naruto thought to Kuro, who sent a mental nod back as Naruto breathed heavily, trying to focus all his energy into this last task.
"Secret Aura Art: Aura CLEANSING!" Naruto roared as Naruto S. looked confused as the youki surrounding him began to swirl up the arm of his prey, his power was being robbed by, by, by this weak, pathetic piece of crap!
That thought seemed to capture the corrupted boy's mind as he began to squirm, pain lancing through his body as Kyuubi's negative influence was erased from his personality, the demon fox groaning as his chances of escaping were once again squashed by a blonde.
As the last of the youki released Naruto S. from its clutches and vanished up Naruto's arm, the Aura Mage and shinobi alike fell unconscious. However, in doing so, Naruto released his Chaos Mode, thereby freeing Kuro who appeared in a small puff of smoke, coughing the offending material out of his lungs. Looking down at his partner, her sighed before placing the tip of his tail to the back of Naruto's neck, right where the spinal column and brain stem joined together, and pushed the excess magic into his body, the boy's magic reserves refilling slowly but surely as Kuro sat and waited for the mage to awaken.
Finally, the boy's eyes opened, and he sat up with a start as energy flooded his body. Hearing a faint oof, he turned to see Kuro on the ground, thrown off of him when he sat up so suddenly. Looking around, he saw Naruto S. lying down, the youki gone, and breathing evenly, indicating everything being okay. Sighing in relief, he pushed himself up, his muscles protesting the strain as he stood up, wobbling on his unsure legs as blood began flowing downwards.
Getting his balance, he began walking towards the bridge, carrying the younger boy over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes, slowly working up into a jog as he was rather far from the original battlefield. Arriving at the shore, he tensed his legs, leaping at the bridge, aiming for the indent left from his fight, his shoe catching the edge as he used it to jump straight up, one hand shooting out to catch the railing as he hauled both himself, Naruto S. and Kuro over the metal, his muscles already making their complaints known.
As he struggled to pick himself back up, he became aware of the cold press of metal on his neck; looking ahead, he saw the teme still down, the girl was still guarding the bridge builder, the ice wielder was crouched over a body, Zabuza's most likely, so that left Kakashi the eternal bother. Where before his muscles protested, new life surged through his veins, and thoughts were scarce during the fight with the shinobi boy, a plan immediately jumped to mind, and, he enacted this plan.
He hurled Naruto S. at Kakashi, who was forced to move the kunai to catch his student, which is when Naruto struck as he slid beneath Kakashi's guard, standing up behind him, a fireball forming in his hand, which he held up to Kakashi's head, making the heat evident.
Even without looking, he grabbed the attacking clone by the neck, a stream of blue running down his arm to the fusion point on his neck, ice forming from his hand as claws made of ice sprouted from his hand, which skewered the clone.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu, a jutsu where one forms a solid clone from their chakra, is able to return memories to creator upon dispelling, a forbidden Konoha technique due to the high cost of chakra per clone." Naruto rattled off info like a book, Kuro's eyes widening.
"Cool, it would appear that attempting to copy the Shadow Clone, actually caused its enhanced learning abilities to copy instead, this could help me in the future, especially since it isn't an actual aura, and there fore won't occupy one of my spaces." Naruto said, a smirk forming on his face before he snarled at something, slinging his hand over the pair, well four, and a wall of ice formed at his command.
Before Kakashi could ask about it, Senbon imbedded themselves in the ice, cracks spider webbing across the thin sheet. Naruto could've formed a thicker, and better, shield, but that would've used more magical energy that he couldn't really spare.
Allowing the ice to crack a fall, Naruto glared at the attacker, only to find the girl from before with her hand outstretched, her eyes wide in either fear, or disbelief. Taking advantage of her momentary lapse of concentration, her wrapped the hand wielding a fireball around Kakashi's neck, allowing the fire to snuff out, but still, his hand was heated from the close proximity to the flames as Kakashi hissed through his mask before he was hurled off the bridge, still clutching Naruto to his body.
Using the mental connection, Naruto sent a message to Kuro, who nodded imperceptibly to anyone but Naruto, then jumped off his shoulder, a small ball of condensed air forming at the tip of his tail, which he fired at Kakashi, sending him and the blonde soaring through the air and into several trees which toppled finally from all the fighting.
"I sense uncertainty, little girl. Is there something you wish to say before your life is taken from you?" Naruto growled out, Kuro mirroring his expression as the aura wielding pair set themselves into their respective stances.
"Another one, I… I found… another Ice Style user!" The girl squealed almost fan girlishly before she vanished in a burst of speed, reappearing in front of Naruto before wrapping him in a friendly hug that suggested closeness of many years, rather than two almost strangers.
"Umm, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't have this Ice Style that you mentioned. I'm from a separate universe, where people use powers like yours through magic. People who use ice like you are called Ice Makers." Naruto admitted as the girl lightened her grip.
"Oh, so I'm still alone in the world, but I saw you use ice, does that mean you are an… Ice Maker, as you said?" The girl said; her tone sounding borderline depressing as Naruto wiped his face, only for his hand to come away wet with… tears?
"Not exactly, but that's a bit much to get into right now. I take it from your previous hopefulness that you don't have anymore family members like yourself." Naruto asked, his hand rubbing a small circle in the girl's back as tears rolled down her face.
"No, I don't have anyone left. My Tou-san, he… he killed my mother, and he tried to kill me, but I killed him first, that's when my powers manifested. After that, I felt like a killer and tried to end my life, but Zabuza-sama found me, and raised me, he gave me a home, and attention, and even affection. But… but now… he's dead, I have nowhere to go, and no one to turn to, I'm just a broken weapon once again." The girl cried out her pain as the tears rolled down in miniature waterfalls.
"Oh, you poor dear, to have lost your parents at such a young age, I lost my parents recently, yesterday in fact. But, I suppose if you want, we can be lonely together. I don't have any family left, other than Kuro, my battle partner, and he doesn't really count as family since he's part animal. So, how about it, Hyo-chan, do you want to come back to my world with me, there are plenty of Ice Makers for you to get acquainted with in Earthland." Naruto asked as he sat down, extending his hand to the little girl, who looked at the limb as if it were a snake.
"Family, you want me… to be part of... of your... family, even after… after I attacked you, you… want Haku to be your sister?" The girl now named Haku mumbled to herself before jumping at Naruto, hugging him once again, tears streaming down her face as she squeezed the boy as tight as she could, his bones creaking underneath the onslaught of affection.
"Yes, Haku wants to be a part of your family, I mean, I want to be a member of your family. I want to go to this new world, and meet these Ice Makers, and grow up into the daughter my mother would be proud of, I want to grow stronger, to be the most powerful Ice Mage in this land, in memory of my master Zabuza, and to the strange boy Naruto, I will have to make lots of friends, and have many precious people, starting of course with you!" Haku cried as she once again embraced Naruto, this time pulling Kuro into the hug.
Naruto smiled at the girl, before shoving her out of the way as an enraged Sakura descended on her previous position with a kunai, fiery hatred in her eyes as she slammed the metal weapon down, the sharp edge sinking into Naruto's shoulder as Haku gasped.
"What… why?" She asked, as Naruto sent Sakura flying with a quick punch to the gut, being careful to avoid her chest area.
"Aww, what's a little blood between family members, I'm willing to die for my precious people, so don't worry about it." Naruto retorted as he formed stitches through the skin, holding the cut closed so that it could heal.
"Brother, you did this for me, and I don't even know your name." Haku said as she rubbed the tears from her eyes before gasping and shoving him to the ground, throwing her body over his in a protective position.
"What's the mat-? HAKU!" Naruto started before screaming as blood covered his face as a hand encased in lightning was sent through Haku's chest region, blood dripping not only from the wound, but from her mouth as she began coughing up blood.
Looking at the owner of said hand, Kakashi suddenly found himself pinned to the stone, a flaming axe separating his hand from his body, the fire wasn't enough to cauterize the wound, just enough to make the pain excruciatingly horrible, which was how Naruto designed it.
"KURO, TRY AND FIGURE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE!" Naruto ordered his partner, the little fox forgiving him due to the stress of the situation. "Now then, you better hope she comes out of this alive, or I'm going to make you regret ever being born, Kakashi!" Naruto howled as he tugged the axe free, spinning it effortlessly to deflect a hail of shurikan from Sakura before slinging the blade parallel to the ground, a wave of flames flying off the blade. Sakura reached the flames, dropping down on her knees, sliding across the slick stone and tossing another kunai at Naruto, the boy flicking his axe up to deflect the metal, only to grab the weapon in the air, sending it back at Sakura, who did a back handspring to dodge, her hair falling freely as she floated in the air.
Looking at her face, Naruto recognized those eyes, pupils not visible; her entire eyes a pale white. "She unconscious, probably from the stress, but her body says to fight, most likely to kill the one who killed that boy over there; she probably had a crush on him, and now I have to deal with this annoyance, along with a homicidal silver head, and a blonde with an obsession with orange." Naruto grunted out, tightening his grip on Kakashi, who tried to break free.
Looking directly into his eyes, he hissed out his command, the expression and voice reminding Kakashi of when his sensei's girlfriend had her 'lady time'. "You, stay down, or I'm going to remove those legs so you can't run away anymore, got it, Kakashi?" The Jounin nodding as his answer.
Naruto looked back at Sakura, an idea forming in his head as he punched the ground, ice lancing up in sharp droves as Sakura ran into them, and before she could react, the icicles grew through her, joining back together on the other side, holding her still as pain pulsed inside her body. Her hands were separated, so she couldn't form any seals, but her blood had frozen at the puncture points, so she would live, most likely scarred for life, but she would live.
"Grand, the sadistic streak has worked its way out of my system. Now then, next problem, Kakashi, how… about… you… do… me… a… favor… and… STAY DOWN THIS TIME!" Naruto exclaimed as he pulled the Jounin up by his neck, spinning around on the slick stone, tossing Kakashi down the bridge, only to add an extra spin to the attack and send a straight punch at the older man, a fist of ice rocketing from his fist to smash into his chest, at least two ribs were broken from the attack.
"Naruto, she's, it's, I can't, her heart, it got her heart." Kuro announced somberly as Naruto's face seemed to fall, his spirit shattering into a million pieces. Glaring at Kakashi, he seemed to try and will him into death, and Sakura, he just felt sorry for her, she seemed rather cowardly, and probably wouldn't have attacked him in open combat.
As his pain rushed through his system, a memory floated up, rising on the pain of loss as Naruto cried, pounding his fists into the stone. A memory of one of his last lessons, of a technique that his mother told him about, and the dangers that came with it.
"It's worth it, I REFUSE TO LOSE SOMEONE ELSE TODAY!" Naruto screamed and pressed his lips to Haku's as he mumbled the name of the attack, before raising his head and body up, and lifting his hands to the heavens, crying out the name of his technique. "FORBIDDEN AURA ART: AURAMANCER'S LAST RESORT: SOUL DIVISION!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, his body seized up, his mouth opening wider and wider until it was wide enough to fit an apple through his lips without ever touching them, then, light seemed to flow from his mouth, pouring down his body before crawling across Haku's body, seeping into the hole where her heart was located, and if one were to look inside of her right then, they would see her body regrowing all its parts, including the skin. Just as it finished, the light seemed to end, Naruto falling on the stone, his body slack with unconsciousness, sweat literally pouring from his body like a wet rag as the move took its toll on him.
Haku looked around, not planning on having lived through the attack as she felt the area, not feeling anything. Hearing something collide with the wet stone, she looked to see Naruto lying on the cold, wet stone, his body slack.
"Naruto? Naruto? NARUTO?" Haku cried as she tried to shake him awake, only for her body to seize up, falling on the boy. Her body was first burning, then freezing, then exploding outwards, followed by a crushing feeling like she was being sucked inwards. "WH- What's hap- happening?" She asked as Kuro seemed to appear out of nowhere, sitting calmly on Naruto's body.
"He split his soul for you, to fix the damage done to your body. The pain you feeling an after effect, due to the foreign presence, your body is sending all available resources to oust the intruder. However, the technique won't let that happen, and your body is slowly being converted to our standard. Sorry, Naruto forgot to mention that one can't just learn magic with a magical core, and now, yours is that heart. Now then, how do we get home?" Kuro said, but Haku's hand on his… shoulder? Caused him to stop and look at her.
"But, but why would he do that for me, we just met, and what will it do to his body?" The girl asked as she tried to sit up, but the effort caused so much pain that she fell back like a dead fish.
"Oh, the first part is quite simple my dear, you agreed to be Naruto's family, something he treasures above anything else, even his own health. The second part however, I'm afraid that is more drastic, one does not simply divide their souls with severe consequences, in this case, that is that he'll lose a majority of his power, and magical reserves. Years of training put behind him, he'll now have to relive, only without a teacher this time, how powerful he is when this is all over, depends entirely on how badly he wants it, I suppose." Kuro answered before returning to the task of getting the trio back to Earthland.
"I didn't tell her that his soul will start effecting her growth patterns, nor that dividing his soul can only be done three times in one's life, then, if he were to divide his soul, either he would die, or go into a coma for the rest of his life." Kuro thought to himself, and feeling something, he looked down, finding his body glowing and flickering.
"Oh, I believe that is our ride home now." Kuro announced as Naruto and Haku's bodies lit up as well. "I just wonder; time flows differently between worlds, so where will we return to, the day we left, or even the year?" He whispered morbidly under his breath as the three bodies vanished in a blink of light.
Back in Earthland
(4 Years Later)
Birds flew about calmly, that is, until three bodies appeared out of nowhere, before plummeting into the ocean below.
A/N: Hey guys, it's a me. Sorry about the late update, but someone decided that it was okay to go loaning my stuff out at school. So first I lost my flash drive with my stories that I have yet to upload, and then the stupid idiot lost the flash drive, so I had to start over from scratch with the chapters I hadn't uploaded yet. Then, my computer has a meltdown, and won't come on for like 2 days. We finally got it back up and running, but then we had Christmas with several different groups of family, and I've had about a week to rewrite everything, sorry guys, not really much of a mass upload this time. Have a good day and happy New Year.
