"I lose" Naruto said as he put his hands up
"You really should consider sacrificing your pieces or else you will never win this game." Shikamaru said lazily as he cleared the board
"I do not like the idea of sacrificing that is for the weak." Naruto said confidently
"Naruto there are times when you have to do this, we are ninja and the pawns of the Hokage. The Hokage is the overseer while the younger generation is the king we protect and you are the queen that has the most power. If you want to be the Hokage then you will have to learn to sacrifice or else you will lose everything." Shikamaru said in a serious tone, these things he had learned since childhood and were grained into his mind
"I will consider it when the day comes but only as a last resort." Naruto hesitated and answered
"That's good enough; do you want to try again?"
"Sorry, I got a date with Hinata." Naruto said with a smile as he disappeared
After several minutes of cursing Naruto finally regained his cool and checked his scrolls when he realized there was a dark tattoo on his hand.
'What is this?' Naruto wondered as he looked at the tribal pattern tattoo
'Is it that woman's way of marking me or is it the sword?' Naruto mused but he couldn't be sure as he tried to put in chakra but it didn't respond
'Not worthy' the words rang inside him again and Naruto gritted his teeth deciding to look at it later when he had grown
"Now where is this?" Naruto muttered in annoyance as he looked at the walls around him, he was standing in a hall way and as he looked at them with his chakra enhances eyes Naruto found the Uzumaki symbol
'Did I end up in Uzu or some Uzumaki hideout?' Naruto pondered as he moved along cautiously, even if he was knowledgeable about seals it was not enough against the Uzumaki clan
'They are cowards, even till now none of them have the balls to confront the world.'
'No, I shouldn't let my annoyance on them. They still have clear enemies like Kumo and Iwa; unless they became stronger than two ninja villages combined even I wouldn't want to come out.' Naruto thought calmly to the reasons his clan hadn't appeared and walked watching the things left behind by them
'The walls are really sturdy and enforced by seals but what kind are these, I can't understand them.' Naruto put his hand on the wall and analyzed them through feel and vision but they were gibberish.
The Long track which seemed endless finally made him understand one thing, "Damn what the heck?" Naruto said in disbelief as he had just been caught in a mind maze and had been going around the same area for an hour as he believed the hall way would look the same
"Seriously this is some high level stuff to break through my seal and my mental defense." Naruto admired the fuinjutsu technique as he held both his hands
"KAI" The chakra inside him burst forth and cracks appeared in the area around him from the pressure, the scene wavered like a mirage and he could see a door on the side
Naruto decided to enter and from his peripheral vision he saw the damage repair itself, "This must be an important place." He muttered as he opened the door, there he saw it was an open ground and a door at the other end.
Naruto flew to the place to avoid any traps and landed beside the door, suddenly a face appeared as he touched the knob.
"I have been waiting for so long, finally an inheritor." The face muttered in excitement
"Whose inheritance?" Naruto questioned calmly
"You don't know, yes you don't seem like an Uzumaki. A HALF BREED tainted by the commoners, who dared do this act." The face roared in infuriated tone
"Shut the fuck up or I will break you." Naruto threatened, he didn't like how the bastard just cursed his father
The thing shut up and calmed down, "It doesn't matter now, it's been done and you are the only one to come down here in 500 years. This is the inheritance from the Blood soaked Jasmine also known as the Heavenly Star Destroyer, my name is Cloud and I am your guide."
"What kind of being would call herself the star destroyer?" Naruto stopped himself from ridicule but he did completely not believe this until he saw proof
"Mortal child, we are the fragments from the age of immortals. Things you cannot even imagine took place in the golden age and the strongest still exist but kkkkkk."
"Shit a rule has been applied so I can speak, just know they exist and you don't want to meet them. Now enter at your expense, inside are many trails and only when you finish can you get the final reward. It is something you will that will help you become the strongest in this pitiful world." Cloud spoke in a prideful tone
"What is the first test and do I have to do all of them in one go." Naruto calmly asked as he had been given some miraculous opportunity and he had already met the so called immortal
The first test is of the elements, you have to defend yourself using the opposite element only and you can pass one test and take the rest later. If you wish to leave I can teleport you outside also there is this junk that crashed here 12 years ago can you clear it away, it might be useful to your kind." Cloud spoke in a formal tone like he had been programmed to say the instructions in such a manner
"Thanks, do you know what this is?" Naruto said as he showed his hand, on the back of it was the dark tribal tattoo
"I see, boy you are more important than I assumed. Take care and for that you need power, you don't have enough as it has a restriction put on you. You can use the weapon as an indestructible weapon but you won't be able to use its abilities. " Cloud explained in respectful tone as he looked at the sign fervently
"Why, I saw a human using it."
"That human was probably dying, he didn't know it. The weapon unless it joins with the user only allows the use of its powers according to the life force used so the human would have probably died within two months of using it. You have to wait for some time for it to merge with your body then you can use it but remember the restriction placed so you won't get the abilities." Cloud said matter-of-factly
"Is that so? Thank you for clearing my doubt."
"I will take the test later for now get me out." Naruto said as he knew the team could be worried
"Place a drop of your blood here so I can be connected to you, when you arrive here I will know and guide you." Cloud instructed and Naruto cut his finger, and placed it on the door knob
"Done, see you later Inheritor." Cloud said as Naruto disappeared
'What is the Immortal Queen of Destruction thinking?'
'I thought the Otsutsuki King was her champion, did she decide on a new one.' Cloud mused as he returned back to his frozen state
Naruto appeared in an open place instantly and he looked around, there in front of him was a white pod.
"A saiyan pod" Naruto muttered in disbelief as he flew towards it but stopped at the last moment, he saw many fuinjutsu seals intersected with the pod and from them he could see it was a time static seal
Above was still another ceiling so he assumed the pod must have crashed through and landed in the seals but what was it actually protecting.
Naruto looked around but nothing, "Boy you don't have to worry the seal will be undone when you touch it and everything important has been moved away a long time ago but the seals were still working."
Naruto nodded and opened the pod; his breath was taken away, "Gine." He muttered in surprise as he saw the woman whom Bardock loved with all his heart and was the mother of his children, seeing her he felt some heaviness in his heart and love
"Am I also inheriting his feelings?"Naruto said in disbelief as he touched her sleeping face; she looked as beautiful as ever.
Naruto took her out of the pod while putting the pod into his scroll; he decided to try healing her so she might wake up. With his golden chakra covering her in its warmth for several minutes Gine finally stirred from her long slumber which to her meant no time had passed since that day 12 years ago.
Gine opened her eyes slowly and the first thing she saw was Naruto who was looking at her with genuine care, she tried to move but her body seemed to be slow.
"Who are you?"
"Naruto Uzumaki, Bardock's successor." Naruto answered honestly he felt happy to hold her in his arms just like he did with Sakura and others
"Where is he?" Gine's voice softened as she asked the question but she already knew the answer
"His soul fused with mine so he is gone from the world. Please do not worry I will take care of you in his stead." Naruto said gently
Gine couldn't stop tears come out at the news and she hugged Naruto tightly to get a measure of comfort while he embraced her and patted her back.
After a while she calmed down and sat beside Naruto, "Are you okay?"
"I am fine for now, where are we?" Gine said in a controlled tone as she wanted to know more about the place before continuing to grieve in a safe place
"This is the land of my ancestors and you are in a different dimension so you don't have to worry about Freeza." Naruto supplied
"What should I do now?" Gine sounded lost; she was away from home and from her family
"Follow me and we will beat Freeza and rebuilt the Saiyan race as Bardock wished." Naruto said confidently looking into her eyes with fervor
Gine felt lost in gaze, it reminded her of Bardock who always showed confidence no matter what happened.
"Yes, I need to take revenge and my sons are still out there. How do we get to my dimension?" Gine stood up and asked as she remembered her little sons
"I don't know how but I have seen people who might be able to so. For that they said I need power beyond what I have now." Naruto muttered with a sigh and he could tell Gine was too weak, she was slow like most of the saiyans and her strongest attack could barely destroy a small mountain
'She will need to work really hard to fight by my side as now she would lose to any jounin, who are too fast for her to react to.'
"You are thinking I am too weak aren't you." Gine said with an aggressive look
"Yes, you are weak but you can train so it doesn't matter." Naruto said calmly as he stood up and looked at her; both were of similar height of 1.6 m
Gine nodded sadly as she knew she was weak, she had never been a fighter and now she just decided to take the mantel.
'I need to do this for Kakarot and Raditz, they need me.'
"When do we start?" Gine said with a determined look
"When, we arrive at my house." Naruto said as he touched her cheek with a dazed look, she looked attractive with such a pose
"Sorry, let's go." Naruto snapped out and teleported them both to the place where Sakura stood
