?: Enjoy…
It was a week since Konoha was destroyed by Pain's invasion, and it'll take a couple of days, if not weeks, to fully rebuild. Naruto needed a vacation, and told the council about his desire. The council granted Naruto's request and agreed that their hero deserves one. So their hero goes on vacation while Tsunade heads to the Kage Summit. Afterwards, Naruto told Link, Kenshin, Shino, and Hinata about his upcoming vacation. Sasuke found out about it when he accidently overheard Naruto talking about it to Kenshin. So the next morning, Link gathered his squad. Naruto arrived with Kenshin and Sasuke. Sasuke, still dressed like he was when he killed Danzo, wanted to match swords with Naruto, but since he had recently defeated Pain, he patiently waited until Naruto was back to full strength. Hinata arrived with Shino.
"OK, Naruto requested a vacation, and the council agreed and turned it into a C-rank mission. So, where would you want to go Naruto?" Asked Link.
"I've never been on vacation, so I don't know." Said Naruto in a confused tone.
"I know a fair amount of beautiful areas," said Link. "I'll take you to one of them."
"OK, that's fine."
"OK…Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"
A black, imp like creature with something resembling a crown on her head appears.
"What is it?"
"One of my student's needs a vacation. Midna, can you teleport us?"
"OK. Do you have a destination in mind?"
"Unfortunately, no we don't."
"I see, well, I'll take you and your squad somewhere nice."
Midna opens a portal directly above them, and everyone vanishes in the sky.
A portal above opens. Below the portal is a forest, and everyone rematerializes.
"Thanks, Midna."
"No problem." She says as she leaves the group and dispels herself.
"Where are we?" Asked Naruto.
"According to my released kikaichū, we're in…" began Shino before pausing. "That's strange."
"What is?" Asked Sasuke.
"It seems…that we are still in the outskirts of Konoha."
"Eh?" Said Naruto as he surveyed the area. However what really got his eye was someone that strangely looked very similar to him. He and the other 'Naruto' stood there for a second and stared at each other. Naruto looked upon his doppelganger and started noticing some big differences. The other Naruto lacked the whisker marks, had green eyes, and eight golden kitsune tails and golden kitsune ears. What made things even MORE confusing is that there was a girl with him…and that girl was like a female version of him with all the same features!
"AH! It's another imposter of me!" Quickly unsheathing Teikiatsu, Naruto swings his blade.
"Demon Fang!"
"What the!" Said the other Naruto as he dodged the ground shockwave. "What gives?"
"Um…Naruto, don't you think this is kinda familiar?" said the girl beside him. "Seems like we got another case of doubles again."
"Why do you look like me?" Said Naruto while he held Teikiatsu parallel to the ground, pointing at the other Naruto and the girl with him. "And what's the deal with the girl too?"
"Seriously, we have GOT to talk to Kami-jii-san about all these crazy dimensions and stuff." Sighed the other Naruto. "Come on Natsumi-chan. Might as well do what we did last time."
"Eh, why not." Said the girl named Natsumi. "Guess we're probably gonna be calling you Kitsune Naruto again for a while, huh?"
"Why do I always get stuck with that when it's other people coming to OUR world?" K. Naruto grumbled as he and Natsumi flicked their wrists, causing two strange devices to appear.
"Hey what are you…" Naruto stood fast, unsure of what was going to happen.
"Well, our full power might just kill them."
"Right, so we'll hold back…for now."
"WIND OVERDRIVE ACTIVATION!" screamed K. Naruto and Natsumi. The entire group looked on as the two were encased in a green wind, and in mere seconds they were now in a completely different wardrobe. However they were both wearing the same haori.
"What the!" Said Naruto as he leapt back.
Naruto didn't want to do this, but he dispelled a shadow clone that was gathering natural energy that he left at home to enter Sage Mode. Also, he was insulted that the two were holding back.
"Ok how does Shikamaru say this…oh yeah, it's troublesome. Natsu-chan, you wanna take this one?" K. Naruto asked as he looked on at the other Naruto.
"Why not. It's gonna be the same thing as always. We fight, big confusion, then we're at home eating." Natsumi replied. "Oh well, WIND OVERDRIVE!" The wind around Natsumi exploded as she now stood in front of Naruto in a light green aura.
"Alright, if that's how you want it…" Said Naruto, as he gathered chakra to spiral into his right palm, and manipulated the wind chakra to make four rotating blades and added Senjutsu chakra, before raising his hand with the palm facing the sky.
"Futon: Rasenshuriken!" Naruto said as he threw it.
"Hmm, throwing the Rasen-shuriken. I like that!" K. Naruto said as he watched the spinning blade come forward. "Might have to figure out how to do that as well."
"Great now he's getting ideas. Doesn't matter what world they're from, Naruto is still Naruto." Natsumi sighed as she prepared to counter. "Oh well…TEMPEST DANCE!"
The two supercharged wind elemental attacks collided, resulting in a stale mate. Naruto powered out of Sage Mode as K. Naruto and Natsumi reverted back to normal.
"Ok so the attack thing is over, you can see we're not evil, yadda yadda." Natsumi said. "So let's just get to the introductions ok?"
"The names Namikaze Naruto, formally known as Uzumaki Naruto, Chunin rank and Rokudaime-to-be." Naruto replied courteously. He was a little shocked at first, but he shook it off.
"Hmm, eastern style intro. Ok we can do that. I'm Uzumaki Naruto as well, Chunin rank, First Prince of the Kitsune clan, and second in command of the Illumina Knights." K. Naruto said.
"And I'm Uzumaki Natsumi, Chunin rank, Eighth Princess of the Kitsune Clan and Naruto's twin sister." Natsumi said with a smile. "But yeah the whole east-west thing is confusing so if it sounds weird when everyone else introduces themselves, it's no big."
"Who are the Illumina Knights?" Asked Sasuke.
"It'll take to long to explain all by myself, so why don't I take you five with me back home, where my kaa-san will explain it?" K. Naruto said.
"That or we'll just get Kasumi-chan to explain all of it." Natsumi added.
"Yeah but won't she do that 'Why do I have to explain everything! You guys know all of it as well' bit?" replied K. Naruto.
Natsumi knew he was right, but didn't really care. "Since when have we ever cared about that?"
K. Naruto agreed, "Good point."
The others said nothing as they followed their hosts, but could only think…"Where the hell did we end up?"
"This is your house? Wow it's bigger then my mansion!" Naruto said as he stared at their destination.
"It always happens. This isn't the first time I've seen this. We had another Naruto show up a few years ago and his reaction to my house was almost the same as yours."
-Flashback-(A/N These flashbacks will contain segments from Neokenshin and RasenganFin's first crossover project to avoid character confusion)
"Naruto…that is one BIG house!" Sasuke said with wide eyes.
"You aren't kidding! This place is like three times the size of mine!" Naruto said.
-End flashback-
"Ano…now I'm confused. They are three of me!" Asked Naruto.
"As if one wasn't enough!" Said a slightly annoyed Sasuke, as everyone walked in. Of course, Hinata was blushing up a storm. 'Three Naruto-kun's?' she thought to herself.
"Trust me, there's WAY more. But trying to explain would probably give you guys a headache." K. Naruto said. However Natsumi had her eyes on a different thing.
"Uh, Natsu-chan, why are you glomping Hinata-chan over there already?" Naruto saw this and wasn't sure whether to be miffed…or a little excited!
"It's because no matter what dimension she's from, Hina-hime is always adorable when she blushes over us!" Natsumi said. "That's right Hina-hime, you are so cute! But we'll fill you in more about everything so you won't be too confused."
"Hey son, who is this?" Asked a familiar blonde figure as the group got in the house. At his appearance, Naruto fainted. "What's with him? He sure looks familiar…"
"Uh reality-check…HE'S ME!" Screamed K. Naruto. "Seriously, I think hanging around all our uncles has kinda made things confusing for you Otou-san. Oh before I forget, this is our father Arashi Uzumaki, the Yondaime Hokage, blah blah."
"So, can we wake sleeping beauty up here or do we leave him on the floor?" asked Natsumi.
"Oh gee, another one?" Arashi asked, palming his face, referring to another Naruto that he met.
"Yes another one! By the way," said K. Naruto. "Who's that guy in green?"
"My name is Link. I come from Hyrule…" Link replied before he saw a different look on K. Naruto.
"Wait a minute…you're the Link?"
"Well, that's my name…" Link shrugged.
"This doesn't make any sense! By any chance, do you possess the Master Sword?" asked K. Naruto.
"Why?" Link asked.
"Well…"
-Flashback-
"Master Sword?" Tenten asked.
"Yeah, this is it." Naruto said, pulling out a blade of unparalleled beauty and perfection.
When Tenten saw it, her eyes grew to the size of dinner plates, then squealed at a pitch that only dogs, and oddly kangaroos, can hear.
-End Flashback-
"There's another Master Sword! But…that's impossible!" Link said as he pulled out his sword.
"Ah but there is…the other Naruto has it." Said K. Naruto. "Ok this whole dimension thing is confusing as hell. But I guess if it works for the whole 'multiple Naruto' thing, than it works for just about anyone."
"Oh where am I?" Asked Naruto as he awoke from unconsciousness. "Last thing I remember was…"
"Seeing me." Said Arashi. When Naruto glanced at him again, he almost fainted…again. Fortunately, he didn't.
"O-otou-s-san?"
"Yes it is me…Arashi Uzumaki!" Arashi replied. "So, wanna see your mom?"
"Arashi! Wait a minute…my father's name is Namikaze Minato." Naruto replied.
"Eh that's how it goes in dimensions. I'm probably named Minato Namikaze in a bunch of other worlds, Arashi Uzumaki in some, who knows." Arashi replied. "Just don't think on it too much."
"Oh…ok…makes sense." Naruto said as he got to his feet.
"What is all this commotion about!" Said a slightly annoyed kitsune as she entered the living room, followed by four more girls. Three had Kitsune features like K. Naruto and Natsumi, while one had cat ears and a cat tail. This time Naruto's eyes were as big as dinner plates when he saw the older Kitsune. "Oh….another Naru-chan! And another Hina-chan too?" She walked over to Naruto and already had him in a death hug. "Go ahead, you can start crying now if you want Naru-chan."
While Naruto was busy wondering what the hell was going on, Hinata just stared, not sure at what she was looking at. Here she was staring directly at…herself? Except this version was well…gorgeous!
"Speechless…yeah that seems to be a trait of a lot of Hinatas." Said Kitsune Hinata. "Don't worry, the shock goes away after a while."
"I…I…it…" Hinata barely finished her sentence before she was already on the floor, out cold.
"Hina-chan, you are still so cute when you do that!" Natsumi squealed. "Makes me just wanna cuddle up to you!"
"Natsu-chan!" K. Hinata said in embarrassment. "Hmm, hey Ten-chan, doesn't that sword look familiar?"
"Yeah, hey, that seems to be the Master Sword that the other Naruto had. Guess there's multiple versions of it too." Tenten replied. "If he'd like, I can upgrade the Master Sword."
'Déjà vu...' Thought K. Naruto.
"Evidently, my sword is not as one of a kind as I thought…" Said Link.
"Wow, Tenten, you look different." Said Naruto, comparing her to the Tenten he knew.
Tenten looks basically the same, but as a cat hanyou, she has a black tail with a white tip, with a red ribbon tied around the end. She also has black ears with white tips. Her hair is no longer in buns, and it now reaches to her mid back. Also, she is wearing a red choker with a bell on it.
"Oh this? Yeah I like the cat thing a little better, meow. Hey, I notice that you both have swords. May I see them?" Asked Tenten.
"…" 'Maybe I should leave…' Thought Shino.
"Oh this?" Asked Naruto as he pulls out his sword, Teikiatsu. He hands the sword off to Tenten, while Kenshin also hands over Zangetsu.
"These are well made…not as well made as the Master Sword though, they need sharpening, but I can do that… I wonder if I can try to upgrade them along with the Master Sword…" Tenten said.
"Upgrade?"
"Yeah, upgrade the three with my Illumna power."
"Illumina power?" Asked a curious Link.
"Well you see, my Illumina Power of Metal allows me to channel everyone's elements into my Masamune." Tenten replied, unsheathing her blade. She handed it to Naruto so he could examine it. Naruto noticed right away that inscribed on the tsuba was Masamune-Sword of Sacred Light. What he didn't notice was that the sword and his seal were resonating with one another.
"Each element that I fuse into my blade gives it a different effect. Also I can use the Light element to fuse two other elements together."
"And what does each of these elements do?" Naruto asked.
"Well say I use the Earth element, it transforms my blade into an indestructible hammer of stone. Or if I use the Ice element, I can freeze anything I want. I can also transfer my power into shuriken, kunai, or any type of projectile weapon." Tenten said. "My favorites are using Water and Wood together, since Water allows me to drain life energy, and Wood lets me drain chakra. I can then transfer the energy or chakra to myself or my friends. But that's the kiddy stuff. I much prefer using Gravity Gatling. Ever seen millions of kunai, blades, shuriken, senbon, and just about any other sharp object flying full speed towards you?"
"Uhh…I dunno. Is it that bad?" Naruto said nervously.
"I'll have to show it to ya before ya go." Tenten replied.
"Now just how are you going to combine your power into the swords?" Link asked.
"Like this." Tenten said, concentrating her power. "Luckily I don't have to go Bankai this time."
"This is where it gets interesting!" K. Naruto said, tapping both Naruto and Link on the arm.
Tenten closed her eyes and held the Master Sword and Teikiatsu straight out. She focused all of her Illumina Power into both blades, and both Naruto and Link began to see nine colored lights swirl into the blades. "GRAVITY FUSION!" she said, as she finished channeling her power into the blade. When she was done, Link could see the Master Sword looked much different. It now looked as if it was constantly pulsing with energy. Naruto's blade also took on a new appearance. The blade itself widened, and angled up slightly at the tip. The handle extended slightly, giving it more of a grip. The blade color was now more polished and looked to have a swirling wind aura around it.
"Whoa! The Sword has never done that before!" Link said. "Just what did you do?"
"Point it at a target and you can launch some light energy at your enemies. Now Kenshin, let me see your sword."
Tenten once more, channeled her Illumna power into the blade, so much in fact that the sword changed in appearance. It became a black daitō, a Japanese Long Sword. The crossguard had four prongs that bent in the shape of the Manji Ban, meaning Full. Attached to the hilt was a broken chain.
'It can't be…' "Tensa Zangetsu." Muttered Kenshin.
"I don't know what my Illumna power did to your sword, Kenshin, so I am sorry if I have weakened it."
"No need…this sword…Tensa Zangetsu…it's harder then diamond. I don't think anything can cut through it."
"Naruto, your sword is unlike anything I've ever seen before. I don't know what my transfer of Illumina power did. The design is completely new, but I think it reacts to your chakra nature."
"That's alright, can I test it?"
"Maybe later, right now we should introduce everyone." Tenten said. "And I think we'd probably wanna wake Hinata up first."
While introductions were made, an unexpected occurrence occurred. Everyone went into Naruto's mindscape, where someone unexpected introduced herself.
"Hey didn't this happen last time?" asked K. Naruto as he looked around. That's when he saw a very beautiful woman standing before the group. Of course it wasn't too hard to tell who she was due to the features.
"Yes I'm the nine tailed demon fox, but the presence of Masumane has purified me, so call me by my true name, Destiny."
"Destiny? That's a good name for you, seeing as how you indirectly influenced my destiny." Said Naruto.
"Wait, you didn't know her name?" asked Natsumi. "Ok you're a weird one."
"Yeah, before we get any further…is she in some form or fashion either claiming you as her son, her brother, or her boyfriend?" K. Naruto asked directly. "Yeah it sounds crazy, but trust us, we know what we're talking about."
This definitely had everyone twitch, especially Destiny. "Um, well…I guess he's kinda like a little brother to me?" she said nervously.
"Ok, that's better! Yeesh I remember that one Naruto we met, and he was dating the Kyuubi. That was freaky." K. Naruto said as they all twitched before disappearing from the mindscape.
After everyone introduced themselves, and after a lengthy discussion about the Illumina Knights, Naruto went into the back yard of the mansion, where Kenshin was standing with Tensa Zangetsu drawn, while Sasuke was shocked to see his brother and a female Uchiha that he never saw before. He ran up to Itachi.
"Nii-san!" Said Sasuke as he hugged Itachi crying.
"Itachi-nii-kun, that must be the other Sasuke that Kasumi-hime told me about." Said the Uchiha girl. "So he's an alternate me."
"Looks that way Shiori-chan." Itachi said. "Though this one definitely doesn't seem like you at all."
"I can't believe that you're here! Tell me, did anyone besides yourself and the other Sasuke survive?" Sasuke replied.
"To tell you that, I have to tell you the truth about the massacre. You see, Fugaku discovered plans for a coup d'état that involved the whole of the clan, besides your mother, father, Sasuke, and myself, an old war hawk named Danzo, Uchiha Madara, and Orochimaru. The deal was that if the coup succeeded, the Uchiha would gain ultimate power. Danzo would get the Sharingan, and Orochimaru would get my body. After a seal that prevented me from betraying Konoha, courtesy of Akane, I joined Orochimaru's ranks as a spy, forever loyal to Konoha, although he didn't know this. Soon afterward, I massacred the whole clan minus our immediate family, but Fugaku lost his life from Madara while he protected our family. Mikoto traveled to Waterfall, where she spent some years healing. I was presumed dead. After joining Akatsuki, I was placed under Orochimaru's command, as Uchiha Izumi. Years passed, and when Kasumi was captured by Madara, I did my best to save her. Unfortunately, Madara learned that I was still working for Konoha. I fled Akatsuki, and now I am here."
"Where's Mikoto-sama now? I want to visit her." Sasuke asked.
"Why, she is here at the Uchiha Complex." Itachi replied. "I think Konan-chan was helping her with something."
"By the way, who is she?" Sasuke asked, gesturing at Shiori.
"I'm you silly. Well a female version of you." Shiori replied. "I'm the twin sister of this world's Sasuke."
"A twin! But how…"
"I'll explain later, or rather, she'll explain. Right now, go and see your kaa-san." Itachi said. Sasuke immediately rushed off to see his mother, a person that he gave up hope for ever seeing again.
"OK Naruto, go all out!" Said Kenshin, as he held Tensa Zangetsu at the ready. "Gladly!" said Naruto, as he unsheathed Teikiatsu.
"Here goes!"
"Demon Wave!"Said Naruto.
"Getsuga Tensho!" Quickly countered Kenshin, as a black arc shot out of Tensa Zangetsu.
The two attacks canceled out.
"Demon Fang!"
Kenshin jumped over the ground shockwave. As he was falling…
"Time for a new technique, made possible by Tensa Zangetsu. Getsuga Tensho!" In a blur of motion, Tensa Zangetsu sent out a black Getsuga Tensho in an omnidirectional attack.
'What?' Thought Naruto, as he was bombarded from all sides, leaving him in a world of pain.
"Tempest Strike!" Naruto leapt forward while spinning in order to slash him around his whole body. Once Naruto landed behind him, Kenshin counter attacked.
"Heavenly Tempest!"Kenshin slashed forward twice, then he leapt into the air, while spinning and slashing all around Naruto.
"It's time…for me to try something new…prepare yourself, Kenshin!"
Naruto uses Shunshin no Jutsu to quickly appear in front of Kenshin.
"Sword Rain! Tiger Blade!" This combination attack severely wounded Kenshin, as he backstepped after the attack landed.
After a long and fearsome fight between the two, Naruto believes that Tenten's Illumina upgrade didn't do a thing to Teikiatsu, besides making it more powerful while Tensa Zangetsu gave Kenshin unbelievable speeds and reflexes.
"Wait a minute, enter Sage Mode for me. I have a feeling that whatever Tenten did to your sword, it has something to do with your transformation."
"OK." Said Naruto, as he entered Sage Mode. Naruto then reversed gripped Teikiatsu, and gathered senjutsu chakra into the blade. He slashed the blade forward a full 270 degrees. To everyone's shock, at 150 degrees, something flew out of the blade. It impacted with Kenshin, who screamed in pain, as his chakra network was destroyed by the cellular level, tearing him to shreds.
"Oh no, Kenshin!" Cried Naruto as he went to Kenshin's remains…only for it to blow up in Naruto's face,
"That was mighty impressive, Naruto. It appears that when Teikiatsu is reverse gripped in Sage Mode, you can launch a low powered Futon: Rasenshuriken out of your blade."
"I hate your Bunshin Daibakuha…"
"Kaa-san?" Asked a hesitant Sasuke, as he entered the complex.
"I'm here. What is it Sasuke…wait. What happened to your kitsune features?" Mikoto replied, before she realized who she was talking to. "Oh you're not my Sasuke-kun. But it still doesn't matter. Come here and give your mother a hug."
"How did you know I wanted to do that?" Sasuke asked as Mikoto embraced him.
"You're not the first Sasuke from another world that I've met. And apparently from what I've heard, I didn't survive in a lot of other worlds." Mikoto replied. "That's probably why you miss me so much."
"You bet I do." Said Sasuke before his emotions overwhelmed him and he hugged his kaa-san back.
"Sasuke, you wanted to see me?" Asked Shiori as she went back inside.
"Yes. I don't mean to be rude, but where the hell did you come from?" Sasuke asked, hoping to get some answers.
"Natsumi and I are twins of this dimension's Naruto and Sasuke. Naruto, after noticing that girls are naturally faster than men without training, decided that he will train in speed as a girl. So after talking to Akane-oka-san, she gave him some pills that would make a Henge last a little longer. Naruto used his Oiroke no Jutsu to transform into Natsumi. Eventually, Natsumi developed her own personality, and became a separate entity. At the valley of the end, Sasuke, using his Sharingan, copied Natsumi's high speed form. Wanting to train in high speed movements like his brother, he developed his own Oiroke no Jutsu, and with Akane-oka-san's help, assumed the identity of me! Time passed, and eventually, I wanted to be my own person, and Akane-oka-san was able to grant my wish! So here I am now."
'Hmm, interesting…' Thought Sasuke, before he noticed that on her finger was a ring.
"Are you married?"
"Yes I am married to Sasuke's fiancée." Shiori replied. "But it's only by Kitsune Law that I am. Otherwise everyone else sees us as just dating."
"Whoa whoa whoa wait a minute…you got married to a girl?" Sasuke couldn't believe what he was hearing! Apparently this girl was married…to the fiancée of this world's version of himself!"
"Kasumi-hime didn't really mind." Shiori replied. "Plus it was Sasuke-kun that came up with the idea. We both love Kasumi-hime with everything we have, so it's only right that we both get to be married to her. I just got to go first."
Sasuke stood there completely speechless. In this world, not only was his mother alive, but his older brother is engaged to a former Akatsuki member and said member was never evil at all. He was engaged to one VERY beautiful kitsune girl, never lived a life of revenge, and became a kitsune himself. Then there was the fact that this world's Sasuke created a female version of himself, which ended up developing a mind of her own, getting a seal to make her real, and married the girl he was engaged to! So all in all…he was confused as hell!
"I seriously have to quit hanging around Naruto." Sasuke sighed.
"Hey Sasuke," said Naruto as he walked in on Shiori and Sasuke's conversation in the Uchiha complex. "Uh why the heck do you look like your head is gonna blow up?"
"Because I'm trying to comprehend the fact that I'm talking to a very cute female version of myself that happens to be married to a girl!" Sasuke snapped back.
"Ok, whatever. Look, you wanted to match swords with me, right?" asked Naruto.
"Sure. Let's take this outside. I don't want to destroy this place." Sasuke replied. "It'll probably help me figure more about what's going on in this world."
"We'll fight with our swords…but you aren't allowed to use your Sharingan…actually, it's getting somewhat dark…want to pick it up tomorrow?"
"OK."
Hinata on the other hand had things going a little different for her.
"Ow…why does my head…hey when did I get back home?" she woke up to see that she was back in her own bedroom. "That other world…it must have been a dream. I have to find Naruto-kun!" She jumped out of her bed and quickly ran to the door, only to be stopped by her father.
"Hinata, my office, now." Hiashi said in a cold tone. Hinata froze, wondering just what was going on.
"What…what did I do?" she said to herself as she slowly walked to Hiashi's office. She had taken her time to allow her father to get seated and prepare herself for what to come.
"Hinata, I've been keeping check on you. You've disappointed me daughter." Hiashi said as Hinata nervously stood before his desk.
"Otou-san…I…I…" she started stuttering again, something she hadn't done in years.
"Your training has become lackluster, you do not follow the strict teachings of the clan, and you've brought shame on this family as heir!" Hiashi boomed, bringing Hinata to her knees. "I've had it with you. As of right now you are banished from the clan and will be branded with the Caged Bird Seal immediately!"
Hinata immediately felt her spirit hit rock bottom. She couldn't believe just what she was hearing. "Otou-sama please! I…I can change! I've done so much!"
Hiashi walked towards her, Byakugan blazing. Hinata could see the anger and rage in his eyes. She saw him make a chain of signs and was in complete paralysis as he placed his hand on her forehead. All she did was close her eyes and wait for the inevitable.
"Hina-chan was right. That was pretty funny." Hiashi laughed as he simply ruffled her hair. "Hinata, you were right, it worked!"
The door opened to reveal K. Hinata and Kasumi both cracking up laughing. "That was definitely too good!"
"I…but…what…what happened!" Hinata was checking herself to make sure she was ok.
"You passed out earlier when you first saw me." K. Hinata said as she helped her other self up. "While you were out cold, I asked Shino about you in your world. He said you had it pretty hard growing up."
"Yeah, I guess I did." Hinata said quietly.
"I find it hard to believe I could be that hard on you, or so cold to you." Hiashi said. "Even if it isn't the same, I want you to know I apologize for what you've been through Hinata."
"I…guess. So I'm not being banished from the clan, or having the Caged Bird Seal applied to me?" asked Hinata.
"Of course not. We abolished that seal years ago. Though if you'd like we can put a new seal on you and teach you the secret of it." K. Hinata said.
Hinata looked a little confused. "New seal?" That's when she saw K. Hinata pointing to her shoulder. It looked like the family crest was tattooed on her arm.
"This is the Hyuuga Unification Seal. It has the exact same ability as the Caged Bird seal, however it doesn't have that nasty pain and controlling side effect." K. Hinata explained. "Plus I think it's time you get to do something you haven't done in a while." Even at his age Hiashi still showed he was quite a powerful ninja. He easily picked Hinata up and set her on his shoulders. "How about a father takes his little girl out to the koi pond."
Hinata remembered that was one of her favorite things to do before her father became cold towards her. "I'd really like that Otou-sama."
"Oh and before we forget…that outfit…its gotta go." Kasumi said. "We gotta get you into something that Naruto would absolutely love!"
The next day…
Sasuke and Naruto had stepped outside to a nearby training ground. Link, Kenshin, Tenten, and for some reason, Shiori, had come out to watch the fight. Naruto drew out his default sword, Teikiatsu, while Sasuke pulled out a sword that was tied around his waist, a katana. Sasuke called it a Sword of Kusanagi, though it bared no resemblance to Orochimaru's and none of its abilities.
"This will be a no holds barred match. Everything is allowed to be used, including ninjutsu and sword techniques." Began Akane, who showed up with the rest of the Illumina Knights, who were eagerly anticipating the fight to judge their level of skill.
Naruto and Sasuke dashed in and clashed blades in a deadlock. Naruto, anticipating this, followed through.
"Fierce Demon Fang!" Naruto overpowered Sasuke's katana and slammed Teikiatsu onto the ground, causing a large shockwave that caused Sasuke to lose his balance along with damaging him.
'What the...it must be a sword technique!'
"Sword Rain!" Naruto moved his sword and stabbed Sasuke multiple times.
Sasuke was slammed back, but then he countered..;.
"Kusanagi no Tsurugi: Chidorigatana." (Kusanagi Sword: Chidori Katana)
Sasuke electrified his sword by casting Chidori while holding his katana.
"My Kusanagi no Tsurugi: Chidorigatana not only enables my sword to cut through steel, but receiving a cut from this sword numbs the area around the cut, slowing your reaction time." Gloated Sasuke.
"Well Teikiatsu, when wind enhanced, has a property that will allow it to cut through anything except other chakra enhanced blades. So there!"
"So our swords are equal in power."
"Did you forget about the five chakra elements? Lightning natured chakra defeats earth natured chakra which beats water natured chakra which beats fire which beats wind, but wind chakra trumps lightning chakra. So you are at a disadvantage."
"It doesn't matter. Even if my lightning chakra gets defeated by your wind natured chakra, I am still stronger then you!"
"We'll see about that! Demon Wave!" Naruto launched a chakra wave at Sasuke, who blocked it with his sword.
"Tempest Strike!" Naruto said as he somersaults in the air, spinning his sword. Sasuke evaded using Kawarami no Jutsu.
Sasuke glanced up, and a thunderstorm was forming. 'Perfect…'
"Now I'll show you my strongest lightning release jutsu. You better prepare yourself!"
"Ok, if that's the way you want it." Said Naruto as he dispelled his shadow clone that was gathering Senjutsu chakra, thus transforming into Sage Mode. Naruto summoned some clones, and quickly formed a Rasenshuriken. "Ready when you are!"
"This jutsu is unblockable. Nothing I know can stop it." Said Sasuke, as lightning began flashing in the clouds.
"Kirin!"
"Futon: Rasenshuriken!"
The two attacks met, but Naruto's jutsu overpowered Sasuke's. He barely dodged the Rasenshuriken.
Sasuke activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, a Sharingan that resembles the atomic star, a six sided star with a circle in the middle. Unlike other Mangekyo Sharingan, it was red with a black background. Naruto quickly unsheathed the upgraded Taifuukire while remaining in Sage Mode and putting away Teikiatsu.
"Observe…my strongest jutsu! If you thought fire release jutsu were good…check out this! Enton: Kagutsuchi!" (Blaze Release: Added Tool Earth Lord
'Blaze release?' Naruto thought as he swung Taifuukire forward.
"Wind Scar!" Oddly, when Tenten enhanced Teikiatsu, it also upgraded Teikiatsu's sister blade, Taifuukire…
The attacks nullified each other, and Naruto brought out Teikiatsu.
"Let's see if you like this!" Reverse gripping Teikiatsu and holding Taifuukire normally, he swung both out.
"Wind Scar!" Naruto swung out Taifuukire out, creating five blasts in the process.
"Futon: Rasenshuriken!" Naruto proclaimed as the reverse gripped Teikiatsu shot out a spiraling shuriken composed entirely of wind.
"Enton: Gōryūka no Jutsu!" (Blaze Release: Great Dragon Fire)
The three attacks intersected, creating a shockwave, and a new technique was released by Naruto.
"Backlash Wave!"
Both Naruto and Sasuke were down, breathing heavily. Naruto had reverted out of Sage Mode and Sasuke's Mangekyo faded away.
"Looks like...we still have…a rivalry with no one being stronger…" 'For now…' Said and thought Sasuke.
"Gotta say, those were some pretty tough abilities." Itachi commented. "And I see you've already gained the Mangekyo Sasuke."
"It wasn't easy." Sasuke said as he rubbed his eyes. "I had to lose my brother to get it. All because of that fool Danzo."
"I see. Then we'll need to train you how to properly use that Sharingan without the side effects." Itachi said.
"Hmm, ok then. So, wanna keep going Naruto?" asked the Uchiha.
"Can't this time. I have something to do…"
"Really? Then we'll leave this match in a draw…" replied Sasuke.
It was dinnertime, and Naruto had arranged a formal date with Hinata, but not before asking K. Hinata a favor.
-Flashback-
"Hinata?" Naruto said to the kitsune Hinata.
"Yes, what is it?"
"I need a favor from you." Sheepishly said Naruto while rubbing the back of his head.
"I'll be glad to assist Naruto…"
"I need you…" Here Naruto whispered his question to Hinata. She squalled.
"She is a lucky girl…"
-End flashback-
Naruto dressed formally, and then he checked the clock.
'It's almost seven…show time.' Thought Naruto as he opened the front door of this world's Uzumaki Mansion.
"Good luck." Said Akane and Arashi.
"Thanks…" Said Naruto as he exited, on his way to this world's Hyuuga Mansion.
Hinata was ready for her date with her Naruto. She was dressed formally, but she kept her bow sealed inside a scroll. No sense going on a date completely defenseless. It was a minute past seven, and someone knocked on the door. Hinata opened it, and she was greeted by Naruto, who had his jaw open.
"Wow…you look…beautiful."
"Thank you, and you look very handsome tonight…"
"Well shall we?" Asked Naruto as he held out his arm.
"Of course." Said Hinata as she looped her arm around Naruto.
"So where are we going?" Asked Hinata.
"With help from Akane-sama and Destiny, I made some reservations at the finest restaurant in town." Naruto said as he led the way though the streets.
"You don't mean…"
"Reservations?" Asked the waiter.
"Yes, it's under Namikaze."
"Ah here we are…reservations for two then. Follow me please."
"Hold on waiter-san…" Said Naruto. "Can we get a private booth?"
"Of course. Please follow me."
The waiter led the two to a booth with a view of the starlight sky.
"Will this accommodate you?"
"Hai…arigatou."
Naruto and Hinata perused the menu. Destiny told Naruto about the various food items that he didn't know. He chose rice with Chicken Teriyaki, and waited for Hinata to order. Hinata didn't know what to pick. So she ordered rice with various meats and vegetables.
When the same waiter delivered the food, the meal was eaten in silence. After the meal was done, Hinata had to go to the restroom. Afterwards, she came back to their booth and sat down, across from Naruto. Naruto grabbed her hand, and both Naruto and Hinata lost themselves in each others eyes. Their lips met in a passionate kiss. Sadly, Naruto let go.
"Hinata," Began Naruto. "We've been going out for a while. I'll never forget the day when you said you love me…"
-Short flashback-
"I used to always cry and give up... I nearly went the wrong way... but you... you showed me the right way... I was always chasing you... wanting to overtake you... I just wanted to walk with you... I wanted to be with you... you changed me! Your smile saved me! So I'm not afraid to die protecting you! Because I - love you..."
-End flashback-
"That was among the happiest days of my life. You were the first to say those words to me. What would make me happier is you…saying yes to this."
"What's the question?"
"Hinata," Said Naruto as he got down on one knee. "Will you marry me?"
Hinata's world stopped. All that was left was Naruto and her. She was dreaming of the day that Naruto would propose to her, especially after Hiashi said the two were already engaged, but only after Naruto popped the question. Now that he had, Hinata's vocal cords were shot for an instant, before quickly recovering and shouting her answer.
"YES!" She said as she leapt out of her seat and tackled Naruto in a hug, kissing him furiously.
Everyone in the restaurant released their transformations, revealing all of the Illumina Knights, Mikoto, Arashi, and Link, among many others. Their waiter dispelled her own transformation to reveal Akane.
"Congratulations, Hinata!" Said K. Hinata. Hinata, noticing that all of the Illumina Knights had witnessed the events that just transpired, smirking, and noticing that she was still hugging her Naruto-kun, blushed scarlet red and fainted.
"Whoa wait a minute…this restaurant is owned by you?"
"This entire building is a genjutsu." Said Akane.
"Hey…Hinata…wake up! We're engaged now, so you have no reason to faint."
Midway through that sentence, Hinata regained consciousness.
"I know Naruto-kun…force of habit I guess…" She said sheepishly, before Naruto placed a ring on her finger.
"It fits!"
"Yeah, I had a hard time finding the perfect ring in your ring size, so I asked the other Hinata."
The day after his proposal, Naruto was ready to leave, when he was halted by Akane.
"You can leave tomorrow. Tonight, I want to serve you guys a congratulatory dinner. I can guarantee that you will be hesitant to leave upon tasting the main course tonight."
"Alright, sounds lovely. We'll leave tomorrow."
The entire day was spent getting to know team Link and Sasuke better. Before they knew it, it was dinnertime.
"Dinners ready! I made everyone's favorite dish!" Said Akane.
"You don't mean..." Said K. Naruto.
"That dish!" Continued Natsumi.
"But of course!"
Everyone, saved for the dimension travelers, drooled.
"Is this dish that good?" Asked Naruto.
"It's better then good. It's the best!" Said Kasumi.
"I sincerely doubt that it's better then Ichiraku's Ramen…" Boasted Naruto.
"I wouldn't count on that being likely…" Said Choji. "This dish can single-handedly end a Shinobi War."
"This is it?" Asked Naruto. "What is it called?"
"Triad…" Began K. Naruto.
"Teriyaki!" Concluded Natsumi.
"Ramen is better then this…I'm sure." Muttered Naruto, before together with his squad and Sasuke, took their first bite.
chew…chew…chew…
"This is…" Began Naruto.
"The best…" Continued Sasuke.
"Meal that…." Shino.
"I have…" Continued Hinata.
"Ever tasted!" Said Kenshin.
"Amen to that!" Concluded Link, before they all dug ravenously into it.
"We told you…" Said K. Naruto.
"Better then Ichiraku Ramen…" Continued Natsumi.
"For sure!" Said Arashi, before everyone else ate their share.
"Pity you have to leave." Said Arashi the following morning.
"We may come back…" Said Naruto.
"If only to eat that food again." Said Sasuke.
"But we have to go…see how things back in our dimension are going." Said Link.
"I see…well we have to prepare for an upcoming war, so I understand. Take care!" Said Akane.
"Wait a minute!" K. Hinata said, grabbing Hinata. "We got one last thing." In a flash she bolted into the house.
Inside…
"Are you sure this will be ok?" Hinata nervously said.
"Listen, you have nothing to be nervous about. Always know that Naruto is a source of your strength and confidence. Let him be your pillar to lean on." K. Hinata said as she added her finishing touches. "Besides, when your Otou-san sees this, and finds out just what you can do, I think it will really help. Plus your Neji would definitely go for it."
"You're right. I can do this. I'll prove that I am worthy of being the heiress." Hinata said with newfound strength. She looked at her arm and saw the new seal that she decided to take back to her world in hopes that it would help change her clan.
"Just remember, don't show him the secrets until after you perform the seal on Neji and Hanabi. He's always had a fear of Hanabi being branded, but this should break that." K. Hinata said. "Now, there we go. If that doesn't have Naruto drop dead, nothing will."
After a few minutes…
"Ok, sorry to keep you waiting, but we have a surprise for you Naruto." K. Hinata said. "Say hello to your future bride." She opened the front door and Hinata walked out. She no longer wore her purple outfit that hid herself, but was now decked out in a completely brand new look. She now wore a form fitting sleeveless shirt that showed her midriff with a pair of black pants. She coupled it with a new sleeveless cargo jacket with the Hyuuga crest on the back which was a special seal to hold her scrolls and supplies. She also had a special pair of black fingerless gloves to top it off.
Naruto was frozen. "Hi..hi..hi..hinata-chan!"
"Do you like the look Naruto-kun?" Hinata said as she adjusted her gloves.
"If looks could kill, we'd all be dead now!" Naruto replied. "Oh man people are gonna be so jealous!"
"Yeah yeah, let's just go home." Said Link as he summoned Midna.
"Hello Link. Are you guys ready to go back?"
"Hai, let's go home."
"Understood." With that, Midna opened a portal in the sky. Team Link waved good bye to everyone as they disappeared into the portal.
"I'm sure going to miss them." Said K. Naruto.
"With any luck, we'll see them again." Said Arashi.
"See who?" Said a voice.
Everyone turned around, and were greeted by the eight remaining bijuu.
"No one! No one at all."
This crossover with NeoKenshin is completed. There might be more in the works. If you haven't already, read and review his story, A New Life in a New Land, and its sequel, The Bijuu Wars, as well as mine. The next chapter will be filler, because I need to take a break from writing. Laterz
