(A/N) Hey everyone how is it going? Got a new laptop should go a bit more smoother now, but my connection pisses me off a bit going on and off. I know chapters are taking me forever to release got to do drivers education, as well as work. So hope this chapter will be worth the wait. Anyways there isn't really much left for me to say, so lets get this on the roll shall we?
( Chapter 6 )
( Konohakagure )
'What's with the paper work?!' Tsunade glares at the papers hoping a fire will sprout to existence. 'I finish a pile and two take it's place!' Tsunade shuffles through the paper work, 'Village complaints, new missions, more complaints, and...' Tsunade stops on a certain paper as she pulls it out from the pile. 'Jiraiya has actually sent in a report? Must be in a place with no women to spy on, perverted bastard.'
Tsunade leans back as she holds the paper in front of her reading through the report. 'Akatsuki movements have come to a complete stop. They've seem to of have vanished from the world.' Tsunade's eye twitches slightly, 'They always appear to be off the face of the world. What else is new you pervert?' Tsunade looks toward the bottom of the report noticing a small drawing of a chibi Jiraiya on top of a beaten toad. 'P.S. I also have a message from Naruto. I should be right outside of your window right now. P.S.S. Don't beat me up will ya?'
Tsunade lays the paper on her desk as she leans back. "Get in here Jiraiya and tell me what Naruto's message states, or we'll have to prepare for a certain ninjas funeral."
Jiraiya opens the window as he hops in rubbing the back of his neck. "No need to get angry Princess Tsunade." Jiraiya leans against a wall as he crosses both his arms.
Tsunade leans forward placing her chin on her the back of her finger tips as her elbows rest on the desk. "I know Akatsuki is always as if they are off the face of the earth, but Naruto how ever is not on this earth, and I want to know how he's doing Jiraiya." Tsunade narrows her eyes glaring at Jiraiya promising pain. "Will you tell me what he has sent or do I have to force it out of you?"
Jiraiya's spine shivers through out his entire body as he regains his composure. "I'll tell you as I would rather not have to take another visit to the hospital. Even though the nurses there are very good looking." Jiraiya leans off the wall as a thick book smacks the wall where he was leaning.
"Cut the crap or I'll send you there in a body bag." Threatened Tsunade in a non-yelling voice, yet very intimidating.
'I swear she's more angry than she usually gets. Maybe it's her time of the month' Thought Jiraiya as he runs through hand signs for the summoning technique. "Summoning Technique!"
Gamakichi pops into existence as he no longer sports bandages looking healthy as ever. "Who's summoned me? I was fixing to go raid the food storage. This better be good!"
Tsunade's eyebrow twitches as she recalls this amphibian. "I heard you've received word from Naruto. Would you be so kind as to enlighten me about how he is doing? Remember what happened last time you lied to me." Threatens Tsunade as she tightens her fingers letting loose a slight pop from her knuckles.
Gamakichi and Jiraiya shiver at the pop from her knuckles both the beating, or in Jiraiya's case, beatings they've received from her. "Yes, I do recall that incident. I'll make sure it never happens again." 'Crazy old hag' Mentally added Gamakichi.
Tsunade nods, "Good, now would you care to enlighten me on the news from Naruto?"
Gamakichi takes a small puff of his pipe as he nods. "I would be delighted to."
Jiraiya's eye brow twitches slightly with his eyes closed. 'Bastard doesn't treat me with that kind of respect. Why doesn't anyone show me respect? I'm a nice guy aren't I?' Questioned Jiraiya to himself with a small Jiraiya chibi crying in his mind.
"Well to be honest. There isn't really much for me to say. He's doing fine. He's not hurt or anything speaking for his health, but he does send his regards. He hopes you aren't beating Jiraiya to hard for his mistake in sending him here." States Gamakichi.
Jiraiya twitches grinding his teeth together, 'My fault? He thinks it's my fault he was sent there?! Damn, brat had to go and sneeze on me while I was putting on the seals! It's his own damn fault!' Ravaged Jiraiya in his mind.
Tsunade nods, "Is there anything else?"
Gamakichi takes another lazy puff, "Nothing, to much besides Naruto's training."Gamakichi slightly turns his head toward Jiraiya as he pulls out the scroll handing it to him. "He has wind affinity since his chakra paper split in half. However he's an idiot, and doesn't know how to use this for his training."
Jiraiya nods as he takes the scroll placing it in a pouch. "I know that brat makes a fly look like a genius, so he has an affinity for wind. This will go perfect with his training." Jiraiya reaches into his back pouch as he pulls out another scroll. "This is the second part for Naruto's training. I had a hunch his affinity was for wind seeing as how I couldn't really teach him any other elemental techniques besides that fire element technique." Jiraiya sighs as Gamakichi takes the scroll placing it in a secure spot. "Makes my job harder seeing as how I'm not really a wind user. The only one who is in Konoha that I know of is Asuma, and I don't think he wants to give up his secrets so easily."
Gamakichi nods as he turns back toward Tsunade taking a small puff of his pipe. "Hokage Tsunade."
Tsunade sits up in her chair, "Yes, what is it?"
"I do have a small observation from when I saw Naruto." Spoke Gamakichi in a blank voice.
Tsunade leans forward intrigued. "Oh? What is it? Nothing serious is it?"
Gamakichi waves his amphibious hand dismissively. "No, this is just my opinion." Gamakichi takes a small puff before he continues. "I think the knucklehead is a bit homesick by looking into those eyes of his. I believe he misses everyone deeply especially you, Jiraiya, Shizune, Sakura, and Kakashi. If it would be to much to ask if you could have everyone write a letter for him? I believe he doesn't know if everyone truly misses him or something. Never know what that knucklehead is thinking for as long as I've known him."
Tsunade nods with a small smile, "Of course. I'll get right on that. I will have a scroll for you next time you come for Naruto with all the people he knows about. I'll force them if I have to."
Gamakichi nods slightly. "That would be appreciated. Now I think it's time I took my leave. It was nice seeing you again Lady Tsunade, and you too you old perverted bastard." Gamakichi disappears in a puff of smoke before Jiraiya could retaliate.
"What's wrong about me? Is it so hard to get a decent amount of respect around here?" Grumbled Jiraiya.
"The day you give up peeping is the day you earn respect." Deadpanned Tsunade.
Jiraiya has a small look of horror on his face, "Never! I'll never give up peeping!"
Tsunade leans forward resting her chin on her fingers in a business stance. "Any news about the Akatsuki?"
Jiraiya composes himself as he clears all emotions, "As the report said they have vanished. I could usually keep a small amount of information on their movements, but now it's gone. I don't know if they've disbanded with Naruto gone or what. They may have heard about Naruto traveling into another dimension and are working toward going after him."
"Have you made any progress on bringing Naruto back?" Questioned Tsunade.
Jiraiya nods his head, "I've made some progress, however the sealing is not complete yet. I still need some time to get all the seals I put on Naruto correct, or who knows what will happen this time."
Tsunade nods understanding, "Good, but I want you to finish as quickly as possible. I want you to bring him back within a month tops Jiraiya."
Jiraiya sighs, "You know you aren't the only one who misses him, Tsunade."
Tsunade sighs nodding, "I know that, but it's to quiet around here with out that blond haired idiot."
Jiraiya chuckles to himself, "Yea, it's boring with out that brat. I'll bring him back as soon as I can Princess. Don't you worry about that."
Tsunade nods with a slight smile, "I know you will Jiraiya."
( Besaid Aurochs Locker room )
Wakka stands with his team as their hands are all together. "What's our goal?!"
Tidus and the team all shout together. "Victory!"
"I can't hear you guys, ya! What's our goal?!" Shouts Wakka.
"Victory! Victory! Victory!"
Wakka, Tidus, and the Aurochs begin shouting together, but a small knock interrupts everyone.
Wakka looks over at the team with an arched eyebrow as Tidus shrugs. Wakka paces toward the door as he opens it.
"Uh...someone order three cheese pizzas?" Spoke a young teenager with three boxes in front of him.
Wakka turns back around looking at his team. "Hey! Did someone order pizza?!"
Keepa raises his hand in the back, "Yea! Three cheese pizzas?"
"Yea, That will be 28Gil please."
Keepa squeezes through as he hands the teenager 30Gil. "Thanks really appreciate it." Keepa takes the pizza as he shuts the door placing the boxes on the bench. "Anyone else want some?"
Wakka stomps his right foot in an angry stance pointing at Keepa. "You ordered pizza?! Right before our game?! What's wrong with you, ya! You ruined the mood Keepa!" Shouts an angry Wakka.
Datto walks toward the bench reaching for a pizza. "Yea, I'll take one. I was a bit hungry."
Botta and Jassu look at each other shrugging, "Eh." both turn back toward the bench as they lean in taking a slice of pizza.
Tidus pats Letty on the back. "Don't wait to long! Else all the pizza will be gone Letty!" Tidus quickly paces toward the bench as he takes a slice in each hand biting out of both at different times.
Wakka watches as Letty joins in. He notices his whole team eating the pizza stuffing their faces before the game. Wakka turns around and smacks his head into the wall leaning his head against it. 'How did I end up with this team again.'
"Pizza! Pizza! Pizza!" Chanted the Besaid Aurochs as they stuffed their face with Wakka sulking in the corner.
( Blitzball Stadium )
"Come on! What's taking forever!" Complained a loud Naruto. "I want to see this blitzball everyone is talking about! Lets get on with it already!"
Lulu glares at Naruto while she sits to the left of Naruto with Yuna on his right. "Will you keep quiet? You're embarrassing Yuna."
"Eh?!" Naruto turns toward Yuna, "Is that true?! Am I embarrassing to be around?!" Questioned Naruto with a slightly pouting face.
Yuna turns toward Naruto leaning back slightly waving her hands slightly. "No! No, of course not, Naruto."
Naruto grins as he gives Yuna a nice guy pose with his thumb.
Lulu shakes her head with her hand lightly against her forehead. "You'll only encourage him, Yuna."
Naruto crosses his arms as he plomps down in his seat with a smug look. "What's that suppose to mean?"
Naruto searches around the stadium as he notices a VIP box. Upon noticing it he notices a strange looking man standing at the edge towering over. All Naruto could make out of him was his unique light aqua hair with two long pigtails, and the dark blue torso robe. 'Who's that guy? Is that even a guy? I'm sure he and that Deidara, chick or dude, would get along perfectly.'
Naruto nudges Lulu grabbing her attention. "Hey, who's that guy up their?" Naruto points toward the said man.
Lulu glaces up toward Naruto's direction before she looks back at the stadium. "That is Maester Seymour Guado. He is the leader of the Guado tribe and a Maester of Yevon."
Naruto nods with his arms crossed. "His name is Seymour Guado, got it. So what's the guado tribe and what's Yevon?"
Lulu sighs shrugging her shoulders. "The Guado are a race of demi-humans who live in Guadosalam. Yevon is our teaching for us to atone for our sins of the past. We use Yevon's teachings, so that maybe one day, we will have atoned for our sins and Sin would vanish from Spira."
Naruto nods, "I see, so the Guado are a race of weird looking people and Yevon is some religion thing. Got it."
Lulu shakes her head as she sighs. "Quiet down the match is starting."
Naruto grins, "It's about time!" Naruto leans forward with his hands grabbing the seat as if he was a child at a circus.
Naruto stares in awe at the stadium as the large metallic objects begin to spin in a perfect sphere. As their speed increases water bursts from four large reserves as the sphere begins to fill. 'Whoa...That's so cool!' Naruto watches the teams swim into the sphere of water. "Hey, there goes Wakka and Tidus!" Naruto pointing out the obvious.
Yuna nods, "Yup, should we cheer them on?"
Naruto looks at Yuna with a slight shocked face. "Should we?! Of course we should!" Naruto stands up amongst the other crowds cheering. "Wakka! Tidus! Kick their sorry asses!" Naruto blinks as he leans down toward Yuna whispering slightly. "So uh...who are they playing against again?"
Yuna chuckles softly, "They are playing against the Luca Goers."
Naruto gives a large smile and nod, "Thanks!" Naruto stands back up covering the side of his mouth with his right hand with his left pumped up in the air in a fist. "Hey! Kick those sorry Luca Goers' asses and show them who's boss!"
Naruto notices Wakka and Tidus turning toward him giving him two thumbs up and grins.
Naruto looks to his left and right noticing Yuna and Lulu both sitting. Naruto turns toward the right as he grabs Yuna's hand pulling her up earning a yelp as she jumps. "Hey why are you sitting down?! You should be standing cheering for those two goofballs!"
Yuna looks around not knowing what to do. "Um.."
Naruto chuckles to himself as he notices Yuna's predicament. "Like this!" Naruto covers the sides of his mouth with both hands as he takes in a deep breath shouting. "Go Wakka! Go Tidus!"
Yuna looks at her hands as she blinks repeatedly. She then places them next to her mouth. "Like this?"
Naruto nods with a large grin. "Yeah! Now just shout!" Naruto turns back and mimics Yuna. "Go Wakka! Go Tidus!"
Yuna takes a deep breath for her as she slightly raises her voice. "Go Wakka! Go Tidus!" Yuna chuckles slightly.
Naruto laughs out loud. "That was good for a first try, but you need to work on being a bit louder!" Naruto gives her a thumbs up similar to Lee.
Yuna nods as she goes back to cheering for Tidus and Wakka.
Naruto turns to his left as he reaches for Lulu.
"Touch me with that hand and I'll break it." Threatened Lulu.
Naruto recalls his hand back as he holds it with his opposite hand cowering in fear slightly hunched. "Y-yes ma'am."
( Few Minutes Later )
Naruto rubs his stomach from hunger. "Hey, I'm going to go down and see if I can get a snack to eat. I'm getting hungry from all this shouting."
Lulu just nods her head as Yuna is to busy shouting to hear Naruto.
Naruto shrugs as he squeezes through the crowds reaching the stairs. Naruto palms himself in the face as he walks down the stairs. "I forgot to ask if they wanted something." Naruto sighs as he walks down the stairs.
Naruto walks around the area as he notices it virtually empty. 'Guess everyone is up watching the match. More food for me then!' Naruto smugs, but turns to curiosity as he notices a tall man leaning against the wall a few feet away as he paces. he has a large red trench coat with dark blue stripes going down the center of his coat. His coat is only tied at the waist leaving the coat open at his chest and below the waist. His left arm is held inside his coat while he has dark blue gloves on with matching loose pants, shirt. and boots. Strangely he has a pale white almost gray cloth covering his neck covering his mouth with brown straps for design on it. Naruto notices his eyes down cast covered with dark black shades. 'Those glasses and coat remind me a little of Shino.'
As Naruto passes directly in front of him the man speaks up in a low tone voice. "This is not your story. Leave."
Naruto turns toward the man as he notices he's still leaning against the wall. "What the hell are you talking about, old man?"
"You do not belong here. This is not your world. You should leave this place immediately." Spoke the man again remaining passive against the wall.
Naruto grinds his teeth. "Why should I listen to an old fart like you?! I don't have to listen to an old bastard like you."
The man chuckles to himself as he pushes himself off the wall. He turns and walks toward a nearby set of stairs without replying back.
Naruto grumbles. "Bastard Old Man telling me what to do! Why should I listen to him grumpy old fart." Naruto stomps back toward his set of stairs as he lost his appetite.
( Near the match's end )
Naruto sits in his chair as he grumbles to himself. 'What the hell was that all about?! I was minding my own business and he had to go and ruin my appetite!' Naruto looks over at the score board as he notices their is only 30 more seconds left in the game with a score of 2-2. Naruto looks at the game as the announcer shouts speaking Wakka having an all out offense. 'No idea what he is talking about, but it must be good if it's about Wakka!'
Naruto turns to his right as he looks up. Within his sight he notices a the man known as Seymour standing near the edge. 'Why, do I get a bad feeling about that guy?' Within a second another man quickly paces over to him whispering in his ear. Naruto is unable to see Seymour's expression but is able to make out a nod. 'I should keep an eye on him if we meet up later.' Naruto returns his vision back toward the game cheering for Wakka and Tidus with 15 seconds left of the game.
( Blitzball Match )
Botta hurls the blitzball toward Letty as he catches it swimming toward the opposite teams goal. Abus rushes head rushes toward Letty, but Letty quickly hurls the blitzball forward toward Tidus. Abus kick tackles Letty after he tosses the ball gritting his teeth in frustration.
Tidus catches the blitzball in one hand as he dodges to the side quickly avoiding a tackle from Balgerda. 'She's pretty cute. To bad she's on the other team.' Tidus swims forward as he prepares for a shot, but time slows down as he notices the chanting around him.
"Wakka! Wakka! Wakka!"
Tidus looks around as the clock slowly ticks time away eight seconds left. Tidus grins slightly as he throws the ball in front of Wakka setting him up for a volley shot. 'This is your game, Wakka. Go out with a bang.'
Wakka notices the volley set up, but is shoulder tackled by Bickson on his left. Wakka groans in pain as he grits his teeth. 'He set me up for a shot! Can't let him down!' Wakka elbows Bickson as he floats to his side as he groans in pain bubbles floating from his mouth. Wakka ignores the pain from all the hits he has taken as he gets into position.
Wakka side kicks the ball with all his might as he breathes heavily from the pain.
Four seconds left in the game as the blitzball curves toward the Luca Goers' goalie Raudy on his right. Raudy floats toward his right as he reaches out to intercept the blitzball.
Three seconds left in the game a third left in the distance toward the goal the blitzball curves in a loop in the water as it changes course toward the right side of the goal as a petal was blown in the wind.
Two seconds left in the game, Raudy panics as he quickly swims toward the opposite direction as he dives as much as the water will allow him toward the ball.
Tap.
One second left Raudy taps the blitzball with his finger tips as the blitzball spirals into the corner of the goal.
BUZZ!
Wakka, Tidus, and the Aurochs all stare at the goal with all the same thoughts going through their heads. 'Did he make it in on time?'
( Meanwhile in the Audience )
Naruto leans forward griping the rail. 'I know it when in before the time ran out!'
Lulu waits patiently in her seat with her eyes closed.
Yuna slightly leans forward just a tad. 'Come on. Come on!'
Boom!
Naruto fumbles his stance. "Whoa! What's going on?!" Naruto catches Yuna by her shoulders with an 'eep' from the quiet girl.
Lulu grabs onto her seat holding herself in position. "Naruto do you sense anything?"
Naruto helps Yuna regain her stance as he glaces around quickly in the stadium and sky. Naruto's eyes pop out as fiends pour in from every direction. "Shit! How did I not sense all these fiends! There is so many I should if sensed them, dammit!" Shamed Naruto in frustration.
Yuna looks around in a panic. "Wha-What do we do Lulu?" Questioned the scared girl.
Lulu notices a few exit routes with few fiends. "We should make sure everyone reaches safety and exit the stadium. We don't need anyone being killed."
Naruto nods as he forms an all familiar cross seal in front of him. "Make sure everyone gets out safe. Got it! Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!" Shouts Naruto as roughly a hundred Narutos' pop into existence. "You know what to do!" All the shadow clones nod, "Yeah!" All the Narutos' except the original jump off half fighting off fiends while the other half guide people to safety.
Lulu and Yuna stare in some what awe as all the Narutos' jump around in a fray making sure everyone gets to safety and fighting off fiends.
Yuna glances around blinking her eyes, 'Where did they all come from..are they all real?' Yuna continues to bombard herself with questions in a daze.
Lulu shakes her head with a slight smile. "You're full of surprises, Naruto."
Naruto scratches the side of his face with a slight blush looking up. "Erm.. I suppose I am." Naruto glaces to the side as he notices the red cloaked man standing with watching the scene. "Lulu, I'm going to stay here and fight off some of these fiends, and try to find out how they all got in here."
Lulu nods, "Very well. Yuna and I shall meet up with Tidus and Wakka. After you are done rendezvous with us after wards. Is that understood?"
Naruto nods, "You got it!" Naruto turns around and fixes to jump, but loses his footing hearing Yuna.
"Good luck, Naruto. Don't get hurt." Concerned Yuna.
Naruto grins slightly giving her a thumbs up. "I'll be fine!" Naruto leaps off toward the man in red as Lulu and Yuna run off toward the arena entrance.
( Naruto )
Naruto's eyebrow twitches as he lands on the ground in a crotch position. 'What's with all these fiends?!' Naruto leaps off as he slashes a flying fiend as he heads toward the red cloaked man. 'I kill them and they keep comin' back!' Naruto slashes through another as he nears the man. 'But these fiends...they're so weak. From what I've been told this place doesn't have fiends inside. Where did they come from?'
Naruto lands next to the man as he continues his gaze out toward the arena. Naruto opens his mouth to speak, but a large shadow consumes him as he notices the cloaked figure turning toward him. Naruto notices pyreflies floating together as they meld into a large sword in his hand. 'What the...'
Naruto turns around as he notices a large drake emitting a loud roar looking down on him. "Holy shit!" Naruto leans back as the drake's foot stomps where he once was leaving a large crater. "What's with the over grown lizard!" Shouts Naruto while pointing.
"Leave him to me. Your daggers would do nothing to his armor." Spoke the man as he releases his arm from his cloak.
Naruto smirks slightly as he readies a hand combat stance. "Daggers aren't the only thing I can fight with. Don't go breaking any old bones, old man. I still need to kick your ass for earlier."
Said man lets a small hmph emit. "Auron." Spoke the man as he readies his sword on his shoulder.
Naruto tightens his fists. "Naruto Uzumaki."
Auron and Naruto leap toward the drake as it emits a powerful roar.
The large drake pulls it's head back as flames being to emit from his mouth. Naruto and Auron both leap to his sides avoiding a massive fire breath from the lizard as the floor and rails are stained black with ash.
'What's with the fire breath! Giant Lizards with fire breath don't go together! It's like some cheap movie about a giant lizard with fire breath!' Naruto leaps forward aiming horrid chakra enchance punches at the drakes legs to immobilize him.
Auron leaps in slashing at the drakes neck leaving a large gash as small pools of blood spring forth. The drake emits a painful screech as it swings it's tail at Auron. Auron ducks under the tail leaping back out of reach of the drake.
Naruto leaps back as he looks at his knuckles. 'Damn his skin is harder than a rock!' Naruto glaces over as the drake turns toward Auron exposing his gash on the neck to Naruto. 'Eh?! That old fart was able to cut him that easily?!' Naruto looks slightly down. 'I really need to work on my chakra control attacks if I can't puncture this lizard's skin.'
Naruto notices Auron reaching for a large sake jug on tied to his waist. 'He's going to take a drink while we're fighting? What's with him?'
Auron takes a drink of his sake as he lowers it back around his waist. "Enough." Auron swings his sword in front of him toward the ground as he leaps off above the drake. Naruto notices the drake using one of his front legs to intercept Auron with a swipe.
"Dammit!" Naruto charges forward as he leaps over the fiend. Naruto front flips over the drake as he extends his right leg. Naruto descends quickly as his heel crashes into the back of the drake's skull. Instantly the drake's leg re-tracks to hold it's ground as Naruto presses off the ground away from the drake.
Naruto turns back around as he watches Auron stab through the drake's spine with his sword. Force of the impact causes the ground to form a small crater under the fiend as it slowly emits a low growl before laying motionless on the ground. Auron leaps off landing a few feet away from Naruto as the fiend disappears into pyre flies.
Naruto grins slightly. "You're pretty good old man."
"Hmph, age doesn't define skill." Slightly humored Auron though Naruto couldn't tell.
Naruto nods as he raises his head toward the blue sky with a smile. "Yea, I'll have to agree with you there. Old Man Hokage was ancient, but he was the strongest person I've ever meet in my life." Naruto's smile slightly wanes as he recalls his memories of Sarutobi and his death.
"Hmph, no time to recall the past. We must assist Yuna and the others." Spoke Auron as he turns pacing off toward the rest of Naruto's group.
Naruto grits his teeth slightly. "I know that! How do you know about Yuna and the others?!" Shouts Naruto as he races to catch up to Auron.
( Lulu, Tidus, Wakka, and Yuna )
"What's with all these fiends?!" Shouts Tidus as he swipes through a dingo. "We didn't even get to see if we won or tied!" Protests the angry dirty blond.
Wakka leaps up grasping his blitzball. "Hey hey, I'm angry just like you, ya. We got other problems to worry about."
"Gah!!" Yells Tidus as he charges through weak dingos' in rage.
"Tidus! Wakka!"
Tidus leaps back near Wakka as they both turn toward the source.
Lulu and Yuna jog toward them as they form a small circle as fiends surround them.
"We came to offer some assistance." Speaks Lulu as she eyes the fiends.
Wakka looks back with a smug look. "Is that so? Seems to me you brought us more company." Wakka turns his head back toward his side of the defense.
"This is no time for jokes Wakka." Lectures Lulu.
"Hey hey hey, we got better things to fight against than ourselves. These guys ruined the game! They aren't getting off easy!" Glares Tidus at the fiends.
"There are so many of them. Should I summon?" Questions Yuna.
"No there are still innocent civilians here they could be accidentally pulled in the cross fire." Denied Lulu.
"This doesn't look good, ya! I can't handle all the air fiends, Tidus is low on stamina from the game, same as I, and both of you are exhausted from the fiends on your way here!" States Wakka.
Tidus slashes at a dingo that charged kicking the corpse away before it vanishes. "So what?! We'll show them not to mess with us!"
Lulu casts a Thunder spell on a flying fiend. "For once, I agree."
"That's really touching, but in case you forgot we're a bit surrounded right now, ya." Humors Wakka.
"Brace yourself!" Interjects Yuna as all fiends charge in.
Wakka grunts as he throws his blitzball with all his might volleying off of fiends into their neighbors as he uses his fist against nearby ones. Tidus slashes at fiends closing in on Lulu and Yuna as they both cast spells against the fiends or replenishing their strength.
Wakka grunts in pain as a dingo claws his back. "You want some of this too?!" Wakka turns around with a fist as he smacks under the dingo's jaw breaking it earning a loud yelp.
Yuna gaps at Wakka as she turns her back to the fiends as she casts a prayer for Wakka to heal.
Lulu pants as she spots two dingos' lunging at Yuna. "Yuna!" She grits her teeth as she quickly casts a Fire spell. 'Dammit, I can only take out one!' Lulu's Fire spell bursts onto one of the dingos burning it's body to ash with a loud yelp.
Yuna turns as a dingo's claw reaches out a foot and a half away from her. Hey eyes widen as she tightens up her muscles and closes her eyes. 'Can I not follow my father's foot steps?' Yuna's grip on her staff tightens as she waits for the inevitable.
"Rasengan!"
A loud yelp echos through the stadium as a large gust of wind howls through. Yuna peaks open an eye as she notices a large blob of orange infront of her with bright yellow on top.
"Sorry I'm late! Everyone alright?!" Concerns Naruto.
"Hey we really could of used your help earlier you know!" Angers Tidus at the belated blond.
Naruto grins sheepishly. "Don't worry leave everything to me!"
( Meanwhile elsewhere in the stadium )
"It is time" Voices the long blue haired man.
Said blue haired man a prayer with his hands as the sky turns the colors of death. Red blood replaying the pure blue sky as dark purple and black rot the sky.
( Same time with Naruto and others )
Naruto looks into the sky. 'What's going on? What's this feeling...so much sorrow...sadness and regret.'
Yuna looks toward the source as a large chain with a hook attached to the end drops from the sky filled with death. "It's a summon!" Voices Yuna.
Everyone turns toward the source as the chain halts before raising.
Naruto's eyes widen at the pitiful summon. 'Pain...so much pain...I can feel it's pain and sorrow. Why does it feel so much pain?' Questioned Naruto in his mind as the pitiful summon is exposed with a screech filled with sadness.
Naruto beats when a large pulse shoots through his body. His breathing becomes heavy as everything around him slows to a crawl. Voices stuffed as they reach his ears as the pulse emits again. Naruto slowly looks down as his vision blurs his daggers pulsing again. 'What...what's going on?'
Ba-dump
Naruto slowly reaches for his daggers unable to think clearly as the pulse beats again.
Ba-dump
Slowly his fingers curl around the hilts as he instantly throws his head back as his mind is invaded with foreign memories.
( Invading Memories )
Naruto opens his eyes as he shakes his head. 'What...happened?' Naruto slowly sits up as the blazes of fire erupt all around him. Screams filling the void. Naruto looks down as he notices he's standing on a stone path looking towards his east, west, and south he notices strange buildings on fire as people run through him. 'They can't see me? Where the hell am I?!'
Naruto looks straight into the air as he spots a large dragon flying through the air fire blasts raining down on the village. "What the hell is that?! What the hell is going on, dammit?!" Naruto notices the dragon screeching to a halt as it stares toward the north. Naruto casts his eyes toward the north as he spies a large castle with a man-built sword reaching the sky. How ever the abnormal part of the castle is the large angel feathered wings from the castle. "Those wings are moving...are they for real?"
Naruto paces toward the castle as he finds himself in a plaza void of people all sound silenced.
"Thee of pure heart."
Naruto panics looking in all directions for the source of the angelic voice. "Where are you?!"
"One of pure heart."
"Who are you?! Where am I?!" Screams Naruto as he frantically looks around.
"I've been waiting for you. One of pure heart."
"Waiting for me?! What do you mean waiting for me?! What's going on?!" Rages Naruto from the void-less plaza.
"One of pure heart, tell me. What do you seek?"
Naruto raises his hands at chest level slightly out open palmed. "What do I seek?! I want to leave and be back with my friends! They are in trouble! I need to help them!"
"One who's heart is pure, protecting those close to thy heart is what you seek?"
Naruto gaps slightly as he slowly lowers his hands to his thighs. "Yes, I want to save them! They are in trouble. They'll be hurt if I don't get back there!"
"One who's heart is pure, thou heart seeks to defend those who are innocent. You have the heart of a protecter, light shines brightly from you.
"What are you talking about?" Questions Naruto seeing the voice means no harm.
"You seek to protect those close to your heart and those of innocent, do you not? Naruto Uzumaki?"
"How do you know my name?"
"Ive been at your side every since you've been here, Uzumaki. I've seen your heart's desire. Protecting those close to you. Yearning for respect and love."
"You've been at my side? What are you talking about? So what if I want to protect those close to me? You got a problem with that?!" Shouts Naruto at the last question.
"We've fought as one, you and I. I only speak of what lies within your heart, I have no desire to change thou heart."
"Then what is it that you want?"
"I seek...to fight by your side to vanquish those of dark hearts. Foes who'd harm the innocent and the weak. Would you Uzumaki Naruto, take thy sword to fight those who follow darkness? To protect those of innocent and the weak. Would you Uzumaki Naruto fight to protect?
Naruto takes a deep breathe, "I'll always protect those who are innocent and weak. Orochimaru...the Akatsuki..I'll fight them all with my strength! I'll never allow them to harm another of my precious people! I've sworn to protect them all from harm and rescue my brother!" Naruto's fists tighten as they shake from force.
"Take thy sword. Save this innocent Eidolon. Save this Aeon from the pits of despair and sorrow. Save my ally from the pits of agony. This sword shall have this Angel's Blessing to vaniquish those who seek harm. Cast judgement on those who'd stand in the path of righteousness. Cast the judgement of Alexander!
( Meanwhile with Lulu )
'Despair, sorrow, and agony have waved over the air. What kind of Aeon is this?!' Lulu stares at the Aeon. It's reak of death, two large blue plant walls cover the sides, as both arms cross chained in front of it's chest, two human arms hold a chain around it's neck with an image attached, and the right side of it's face covered in bandages with the eye spot dripping with blood.
Lulu turns toward Yuna noticing her breathing has become heavy. "Yuna, are you alright?" Concerns Lulu as she places her hands on her shoulders.
Yuna slowly nods as she stares at the horrid Aeon. Tidus and Wakka don't far much better as they continue their gaze at the aeon. "That's...Maester Seymour's Aeon?" Disbelieves Wakka.
Lulu turns toward Naruto, but instantly shields her eyes as a bright white light blinds her from his direction. "Naruto?!"
Tidus, Wakka, and Yuna shield themselves from the view as they look the other way. "What's going on?!" Shouts Tidus.
"Is that light coming from, Naruto? What's that knucklehead doing?!" concerns Wakka.
'This light is so warm..' Yuna voices to herself.
'What is he pulling off now?' Lulu lowers her arm as the bright white light slowly dies out.
Lulu blinks her eyes adjusting to the light as she looks toward Naruto. Her eyes widen as her mouth slightly gaps which to her is wide.
"N-Naruto...what's happened to you?"
Cliffhanger! I've always wanted to try that and see what responce I'd get for leaving a cliffhanger. -Thumbs up- Sorry it took so long to release this chapter. Gave this one a lot of thought and wanted to make sure it was detailed and everything. Though I hope I did a good job. Kinda twist there eh? So, what happened to Naruto? Big change or little change who knows, but I wanna find out too! Well I think I need to re-detail this discribition. I think I proofread this enough and there shouldn't be to many mistakes. Well let me know what yall think. I don't know if I forgot anything to add, but oh well. Later.
