cap 1.
Being reborn is a bitch, Naruto thought when he first gained awareness. Thankfully he didn't gain his grown mind as birth, which would undoubtedly drive him insane before he reached one. As it was he gained the memories from his previous life over time.
The amount of memories started slowly at first, but began to pick up late when he mind become more developed and used to the insane stress his young mind was under, it got even more stressful when he come to the clones memories that he also gained.
It was hell as in his previous life he used that technique very often, as in each battle he used absurd amount of clones, that more often than not got killed in some brutal manner. It was humiliating to say it at least. At last he was able to see his failing from so many different point of views, even if they was all him in the end, so that he could improve on them. He also gained a new respect for life, and a casual relationship with death.
To be honest living the clones life had been very painful, they could still feel pain for a few seconds before their death, they could feel fear. He didn't know why he didn't get the painful memories in the life before, but he was sure it was Kurama being a softy and shielding his mind from them.
It altered his view on many of his battles, with him feeling death's darkness claim him so many times.
Though for some reason the memories stopped suddenly after the defeat of the Jubi, after red-eyed jerk did something that has hidden in a cloudy mist he couldn't quite remember at the end of the fight.
Was he killed in some lest attempt to be come the ruler of the world by the mad man?
He didn't know.
Anyway back to being reborn in a new world.
The place is a wasteland. The earth could hardly grow crops and was almost unable to sustain the humans living here. Those that was had trouble getting by in this unforgivable world. It was a sad thing.
Had Manda sent him far into the future so he didn't have to deal with him. Was this the future under the Moon Plan? Or the future without it?
This could be the past or an entirely different world for all he knew.
And that was the problem, he didn't know.
It was kind of sad to see, but at last the people wasn't unhappy. Some were, but that was unavoidable. Naruto knew for some the right of having more than his next man was a matter of right, they suffered as the culture wouldn't allow that self-entitlement. But the general mood of the humans are that of happiness as they work against the world for their right to live.
It made Naruto smile, for all the bleakness in the world the people was relatively happy. However as always there was people who took their self-entitlement too far, they want more for less effort. They become bandits and attacked the settlements for resources and sport.
It was a challenge to take care of them.
As not only was he reborn a child, but also a fox. He wasn't even reborn as a human, but as the animal that his partner Kurama had a similarity to. He was sure it was the world's own twisted humor playing.
Are you aware how hard it was to take care of humans when you was about one foot high?
But the most interesting thin about this world wasn't the bandits, or the bleakness of it. To be honest it was mindbogglingly boring. The same scenery all the time, with no trees or anything to mix things up a bit. Almost no plants to look at. The same rocky and dusty landscape anywhere.
No the most interesting thing was the huge tower the grew through the sky and seemly out in space without showing sign of stopping. That was the biggest suture he ever seen, and likely would ever see if the legends about the place was right.
It was said the tower was build by one man, that found a star pretty or something. So he began to build a tower to reach the star. He was laughed of by the people around him, but he keep building and defiling common sense and according to legend reached his goal to reach the star.
Apparently if you could climb the tower yourself you could get anything you want. Money, power, glory, beautiful woman, followers, anything you desire await you at the top. Anything.
But no one who went in ever come out again.
It was a legend born of the feeling of unnatural power and the sayings of a monstrous guardian.
Though Naruto wanted none of those things anymore. He may once have wanted recognition, but he gained it once. He had nothing to prove anymore to anyone.
He needed none of those things.
He had gained what he wanted in the previous world or life.
He lived though hardships once, now he simply didn't care. His previous life was so hard as it was, because he cared for how others view him. Now born an animal, he didn't care for what in the humans eyes he was.
Even after gaining the ability to transform into human form, or any form really, he didn't care for their views of him.
He was a sage, he was a warrior, he was a ninja. He had more power than what the humans he found had in his paw than they had in their whole body.
If he wanted he could easily take over the world outside of the Tower.
But he didn't desire it.
But he was bored.
There was no challenge in hunting bandits anymore, and they was becoming a rarity after he began hunting.
He was good at what he did.
The world was boring, and he had no intention of settling down as a farmer. If he did he was sure he would lunch his invasion of the world a week after.
So in search of something interesting he sought out the tower.
He would climb it, from the outside if he had to.
Reaching the giant door to the entrees of the tower he couldn't but be impressed.
"impressive craftsmanship" he muttered seeing the gate made of stone with the Tower reaching some shining ball crafted into it. "There are a lot more to the legend of the Tower than they are saying if this gate if any clue. It must have taken much more than a single lifetime to build the tower, and make such an impressive gate"
He was in a child-like form, much matching his age as a fox. He was but a child barely reaching his teen years. He wore simple pair of lose white chines pants with hole to his tail and simple a long sleeved shirt.
He was proud of them as white clothing was a rarity in the outside world.
On his had two long fox ears sat, turning and listening for any signs of life inside. His long yellow hair reaching far down his back without the spikiness it had before, he didn't have any tools to cut it with. Blue eyes every bit as blue as the unending sky and shining with an inner light that was a sight to behold.
Unlike before in his previous life this body looked frail and delicate. Very feminine even. Cute and adorable was words that jumped to the mind when looking at him. Normally he wouldn't use such a transformation as his primary form, but this was spacial case.
It wasn't just a transformation, if he so chose he could be older and more manly. But this was what he would have looked like if he was born human in this world, except the fox parts. He believe he would spit on whatever gave him this new life he had been grated if he didn't use it.
He had a belief that it was Kurama who did it since he was reborn a fox.
But you don't spit on the chance of a second life.
God know such a thing wasn't grated for everybody, though granted there was a lot of people that should have been dead appearing in that last fight for some annoying reason.
But he preferred not to think much about that as it was getting more and more weird as that fight went on. Not to talk about the whole undead wave before the fight.
But enogh about that.
He could feel it, the feeling of being observed. And the feeling was coming from that gate. An entirety far stronger than any he felt in this new world was looking though the gate at him.
Naruto couldn't help it, he could feel his blood heat up. He was more excited than he could remember being in this bleak world.
Putting two hands on the gate he gathered his power and Pushed.
He may have been a bit too excised and put in a bit too much power, as the doors flew up and banged into the wall with an earth shattering bang. The sound wave resounding though the first floor of the tower.
For a figure standing in the middle of the hallway just inside the gate just grinned at the sound and sight.
The figure vaguely resembled that of an humanoid rabbit and was carrying a staff with two blue balls at the end.
"Interesting, three irregulars within an hour." The rabbit spoke in the silence after the opening of the gate.
"So you must be the monstrous guardian of the Tower" Spoke Naruto as he stepped inside, not looking one bit ashamed at the way he opened the gate. The door closed itself after he stepped fully inside.
The being bowed mockingly "I would assume that is me, I am Headon, the guardian of the lowest floor of this Tower" twirling his staff he studied the new intruder "The first sought the stars, and the second sought the first, what do you seek child?"
"An challenge" grinned Naruto.
"An challenge you say" mussed the Being, Headon. "What kind of challenge?"
"Any and all"
"well child, you come to the right place than. This Tower is nothing but full of challenges. But what challenge to you seek specifiably, for what reason do you wish to rise through the Tower"
"The challenge of the journey. I seek the impossible task. I seek the top."
"What do you seek at the top, money, absolute power?
"Satisfaction, and a new challenge to replace the old"
"I see... you seek nothing but challenges. You care not for glory, money nor power."
"Those are nothing that I can't gain with my own two hands. What I seek is purpose, betterment of self and self satisfaction. And an unending challenge is what I want"
Twining his staff faster Headon spoke "This is new. One not seeking the top, but the journey. Well you found it child. Welcome to the Tower. The way to climb is very simple, on each floor you will have to go through tests to go to the next floor, if you pass all the tests you eventually reach the top. The higher you climb the harder the tests will be"
"Then I suppose you have a test for me?" Asked Naruto smiling.
"Indeed. Though my test will be a little harder than what you will face in awhile. The Regulars usually start on second floor after all" Headon said as he lead the way deeper into the first floor.
"Is that because that I am what you called an irregular?"
"Yes, the difference between an irregular and a regular is the way they are chosen. You see, I look for candidates for the Tower, those I chose become regulars" Headon explain.
"And I guess we who chose ourselves, like me, are irregulars. You being the guardian have to test if we un-chosen are worthy of the right to enter the tower, am I wrong?" Mussed Naruto as he followed Headon.
"no you are not. But be warned the Tower is a dangerous place" warned the Rabbit ominous.
"All the better" grinned Naruto. He looked up, he could feel two persons looking down at him, observing. One of them was seriously strong, but not as strong as the rabbit walking before him. He smiled up at them and gave them a cheerful wave. He could sense their surprise.
"Who are you waving at child?" asked Headon.
"The observers" Answered Naruto.
"So they didn't leave" Headon stated.
"They also observed the previous two?" Asked Naruto.
"They observed one, an interesting child that one was" said Headon mysterious. "Enough talking, now for the test"
Suddenly before them was deep hole in the floor. You couldn't see the bottom of the hole in the poor lightning, and Naruto was sure even if it was good lighting he still wouldn't be able to see the end. The hole was from one wall the the other wall and more than 100 feet across. On the other end there was a floating blue disk.
"I prefer simple tests" stated Headon "Your goal is to touch the disk, and you pass. Needless to say if you fall you will eventually die when you reach the bottom. It may take awhile however as it is a long way down"
Naruto raised and eyebrow and asked amused "Do the Tower have a basement or something?"
"Or something" answered Headon.
Looking Naruto observed that the walls had no foot holes so he could climb across, he could feel the walls give off their own neutralization field like that cliff the super pervert pushed into in his old world so he couldn't wall walk over. He didn't know if he could jump such a distance.
"You can always give up now child, but when you have jumbled there are no way back." Commentated Headon sounding smug and a lot more menacing.
Naruto just looked amused at the Rabbit. "You are kind of an asshole aren't you?"
"You give up?"
Naruto scoffed "Of course not"
He stepped forward slowly, but began to pick up speed as he went, soon he was running, then sprinting. Then smiling he went chakra to his legs, strengthening them. He had but one chance of pulling this off.
The first problem is the take of at the start, you see when you are power jumping with supernatural energy to aid you the ground has a tenacity to cave in when you take of because of the sheer force of the jump, that make you lose about 20% of the power, and the power loss increase the more powerful the jump.
So you will have to use some supernatural energy, in this case chakra, to support the ground for it not to cave in. The strengthening is a process is relatively simple, but when you are also running fast to get forward momentum the short time to do it make it hard to do.
When you touch the ground you have to send out a wave of energy, then use it to strengthen the ground at the same time you also gather power in your legs for the jump.
In short you have to keep track of containing the energy sent in the ground so it do not spread it too thin, you have to make sure the ground properly absorb the energy instead of it being uselessly inactive, and you have to gather energy in your legs in a way that your legs don't explode. All this had to be done in less than a second.
Mess any of the three things up and the jump will end in failure.
Do it right and it seem like you have wings.
And flew was what Naruto did.
Next problem was wind resistance. Something that Naruto was able to manipulative his chakra to get arid of most of it. It was the first time he done something like this, but luckily he knew a lot about the wind. It was awesome to wind natured.
But still he knew he wouldn't be able to reach the other end if he didn't minimize what his chakra couldn't take. He turned himself into a spinning ball of yellow doom in an attempt to cut himself through the air and make himself as small and round as possible.
He may have keep it hidden from his friends but once he learned memories of his clones went back to him, those that Kurama didn't block because said clone was murdered brutally, he went to read. He didn't tall anyone as he didn't want to ruin his reputation, and he was seriously afraid baa-chan would die of heart attack if she knew.
But he read up on his chakra nature when he was learning it under Kakashi-sensei.
But he still fell short of the other side.
Coming out oh his spin he began you make various aerial maneuvers to maximize how high he got and the length of his jump. Something learned through trial and error.
Finally arriving where he was closet to the other side, his tail grew in size and shape. Becoming a makeshift hand and lengthening toward the other side.
He didn't make it.
As he begun his descent down the deep, Naruto didn't show a shred of fear. If anything he grinned. This was what he searched for.
Kicking his body into overdrive he sent a wave of power through his body desperately searching for a solution. Looking back he could see Headon smirk smugly at him, Naruto gave back a toothy grin.
Thinking of his favorite attack, the Rasengan. A technique he usually in the past could modify to overcome enemies. Can it be used somehow here?
Naruto grinned, yes it could.
Instead of using his hand to make it he detracted his Chakra at his foot. Instead of a ball appearing under his foot a disk appeared. Then just a he sat down his foot he forced the chakra on bottom of that foot to spin the opposite site of that of the disk.
Both was rather unstable things since it was the first time he made them, but that was fine, he just needed to flung in the general direction of where he wanted.
It worked, but not the way he imagined it to. He sat down his foot, the spinning of the disk was stopped from affecting him by the spinning of the chakra of the bottom of his foot. The force of the disk, meet the opposite spinning force of his foot in a fierce fight of power.
Channeling each other out, but creating for a brief second it become solid disk of energy that he could stand on.
Fast taking advantage of that he jumbled upwards and toward where he wanted to be. But he was still too far away to use his tail. So he did the same trick, which he was sure he would take lot of time to perfect as he could feel the waste of power in it as it was now.
But it wasn't bad for a first try.
He had honestly expecting the thing to explode.
Finally reaching the other side he stood before the floating disk, without hesitation he reached out and touched it. All the while throwing a smug look over his shoulder at the Rabbit and a wave to the observers.
He disappeared in a blue flash.
"...What an interesting child" Muttered Headon as he turned his head upward like he was listening to something "A great change is forming, but that is perhaps also the will of the Tower"
Up over the roof two figures was looking down in a square hole in the floor, having observed what was happened.
"Well this one is much different than the other one" Muttered a very short gray haired man. "This one is very abnormal compared to Baam"
"Another cutey have appeared!" Declared the woman, who had black hair and red eyes. "have to keep an eye on this one also, but first to get Baam!"
Taking the man under her arm she ran of into parts unknown much to the man's protest.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Uff!" Landing hard on the ground Naruto rolled to his feet. The first thing he took note of where he appeared was it was Earth under his feet. Not stone or tree, not even that gray dead earth of the outside, but honest to god healthy Earth. Next was the plants, some kind of tall yellow grass. Then the light, healthy light that wasn't damaging your skin.
It appeared that he appeared on a savanna that somehow grew inside the tower.
"This tower is awesome" Muttered Naruto as he also took note of the fresh air "But weird"
Noting a lot of other people that wandered around on this seemly endless plane, he wondered if one of the was one of two other irregular was one of them. Than he wondered what he should do now.
"bzzzz"
Turning his head towards the sound he found some kind of orange cube.
"Mike test. Mike test. One, two three! One, two, tree! Hallo everyone!" The voice sounded cheerfully.
'What an interesting cube. Is it the cube speaking or another person behind it?' Looking around he could find multiply cubes floating around the plane. 'Likely someone using it to speak through. It seem the tower is much more advanced than that of the outside. Interesting'
"'Regular members' who has entered the tower this is the Second Floor and I serenity welcome you to Evenkhell's Floor!" The voice didn't sound serene, but rather understandingly happy.
And who was Evenkhell?
"Evenkhell's floor is also called the Floor of tests! The reason being the level where you are judged worthy of climbing this Tower!"
'I see. Headon's test was about entering the tower, now it is about climbing it' Thought Naruto thoughtfully 'And what's with that weird emphasis on 'Regular members', are Irregulars disliked or something?'
That could be bad that he was sure one of the observers from the first floor could kill him easily, and the other had some weird analyzing ability.
"then~ minor details aside, shall we start with a simple test first?" It was not a question the speaker expect answer to as he began speaking a second after again "You might as well get a good warm up exercise!"
"The first test is very simple and I will begin announcing the rules so listen very carefully. The numbers of regulars on this floor totals 400, your task is to bring that number down to 200. The method? By any means" the voice still sounded cheerful as it did as it started. "the moment the number reach down to 200 this test will end."
'Well aren't this interesting?' Mussed Naruto as some of the people on the plane tried killing another nearby while they still was distracted. Some succeeded.
"Then~ good luck"
Naruto could almost hear the smiley at the end. Somehow it annoyed him to no end.
Casually dogging a trust of some kind of giant needle weapon. It was nothing but a point and a handle, the weapon itself was about a one a half meter long and blue in color. Just as casually he disarmed his assaulter but took the weapon for himself and stabbed the man down through where the heart was likely to be.
He gotten quite cold towards death killing bandits, and see the remaining of the Bandits killing games.
After the man fall the killing around Naruto began in the earnest. Screams and the stink of blood erupted all around them.
"Ah~h, the first hint of fresh air and it dirtied with blood so soon. Such a shame" Muttered Naruto as he decided to just explore his surroundings instead of going on a killing spree. He already killed that one person he needed to kill to have done his to pass the test. Now he just had to avoid being killed himself and fulfill his curiosity with exploring the new place.
Avoiding various attacks both ranged and close combat attack from those who got close he ran around just enjoying the feeling.
He manged to conform that this was indeed inside the Tower as after a bit of observation the roof was fake, and even the unending walls was cleverly painted. He didn't get to the walls in his little run though, they was too far away.
It was mind-boggling how big this place was.
It was totally awesome.
In the end though, he ended standing out of sight of the multiply ranged shooters that was standing on the cliffs and trees. There was almost literally one ranged person in each tree and on each rock. Some even had some sort of machinery that shot small metal objects, bullets, they was called when he asked one of them forcefully. The ranged machinery was called a gun. A very rare weapon in the tower apparently.
So now he had a giant needle like weapon and one of the smaller gun thingy. The former owner of the gun was happy to hand it over once he realized the mistake it was to attempt to shot Naruto with it in the first place. In estrange Naruto didn't kill the guy.
But now he was standing and just enjoying the light. In the outside world the entire sky is dark and forever covered in clouds. It was a wonder humans could survive those hash conditions such as living in near darkness their whole life.
Even Naruto had almost forgotten the feeling of the sun on one's skin, even if the fake sun was 8 light orbs in the sky.
It felt fantastic and marvelous.
"WRIIING!" sounded though the place, again Naruto located the sound as coming from the floating cube thingy "Ah ah. Everybody stop killing each other, the first part has ended."
Again it was that annoying cheerful voice speaking.
"All remaining Regulars stop doing whatever you are doing and listen to what I say. Note, anyone fighting outside of the designated time will be disqualified!"
Apparently there was still people fighting that didn't want to stop. probably too busy killing someone to listen.
"That was better."
That was fast.
"Then, to the 200 individuals that has passed the first round, congratulation on your survival. But let's not waste anymore time and begin at once on the second part of this test. Smite while the iron is hot and all that. Don't despair, it is a really simple test and not at bloody, at last it should not be"
'And that totally lackluster reassurance comfort anyone here' Thought Naruto, but not even the return of the voice could get down the smile on his face due to rediscovery of sun.
"I will now tell you the rules. The goal of the test is to 'make a buddy'. Out of the 200 remaining you have to make two of them into your 'buddies'. In other absurdly simple words, you are to make a team of three including yourself. You will have to be in physical contract when the time run out"
'Well, that is certainly a lot different then the death game before. Now you just have to make 'buddies' out of those you was killing before' Thought Naruto as he grinned, at last there would be variety in the tests.
Then the voice come back sounding absurdly happy.
"Also note, you have the time limit is 5 min. Begin!"
'with that kind of time you would have to chose those nearest you, meaning those you was in the process of killing when you was stopped. The guy in charge of this sure has a twisted form for humor'
Naruto couldn't help but smile amused at that. He couldn't help it, his nature as wild animal slowly gaining human memories, wandering the dark depressing world outside, the mind crushing memories of dead clones, And the memory and feelings of his dark self that he banished deep into his mind at the Waterfall of truth all these years ago has twisted what was once Naruto Uzumaki into something that is past self would be disgusted with.
But honestly Naruto couldn't bring himself to care about his monstrous nature.
In all honestly he felt more complete than he ever did in his previous life, it was like he only lived a half life before. That was another reason why he keep his new appearance as a human, he has changed.
Suddenly freezing so still that there would be no difference between him and a well crafted statue, his energy seamlessly blending in with the world's around him as he stretched more than his six senses to gain awareness of his surroundings.
And awareness he gained.
Sage mode came even more naturally to him than ever before, he effortlessly submerged into the flows of power around him. He suspected it was because of being an animal. He wasn't human after all, or a half human half fox even.
He was an fox that gained the knowledge and the power to take upon human form.
Through most of the power here was owned by something so he couldn't claim that without getting in a tug war of will with something that felt alien, kinda like Headon, something he could ill effort right now.
He could still sense the world with far more clarity than even his eye sight could see it.
Naruto found several Regulars within his new form for vision, but they felt weak, without strength or real potential. He want to pass the tests after this one, after all he couldn't imaging something not happening with the form for humor the cube voice had.
He couldn't find any with above average strength that wasn't already in a group.
'Maybe I can create the strength they need, if they only has the determination and potential?' Thought Naruto as an idea come to him, something that was wicked but at the same time another chance. He just had to find some who suited his needs. 'There!'
Blurring out of sight with a rising of dust the only thing marking where the fox boy stood. Running past a few people searching for buddies but Naruto ignored them till he arrived where he wanted.
Before two wounded people.
They was young woman, something that pleased Naruto's male fox instincts even if he didn't expect it. He couldn't tell the gender nor physical beauty from their energy flows at the distance he sensed them. They looked like they fought each other to near death and was now too exhausted and wounded to go look for a buddy, and likely those other regulars who come past had dismissed them because of their injuries.
With good reason.
With near death injuries he meant as in likely to result in death if not treated at once.
They was also weak. Both had no formal training and even their weapons was of a very bad quality. Their clothes also was old and dirty. They had both obviously been poor before coming here. Both their supernatural and natural energy reserves was pitiful small.
One was a bright blond haired with violet eyes. she was quite tall, much taller than your normal human. She could be compared to an amazon with her body type, but without any the strength or presence. She despite being tall had a kind of fragile malnourished body and was clad in dirty clothes from a western culture. Her weapon of choice was a butter knife that looked like it seen better days.
Even if this looked like her last hour her eyes even was full of fire, she wasn't willing to give up even on the verge of death.
The other was black haired with violet eyes. This one was of normal height, but also had a very malnourished body. This one's poor clothing was of an eastern culture. Her weapon of choice was a sharp stone that vaguely was shaped like a knife.
Her eyes also carried a fierce determination even on the doorstep of death, but unlike her blonde haired counterpart her resoluteness was cut out in ice.
They was like yin and yang, total opposite each other in their aura. One boiling, one freezing.
But their aura is weak in strength and power.
It was perfect!
Their eyes locked in on him as soon he showed himself before their eyes. Their eyes was a mixture of hopefulness and defiance. But they didn't beg for help, but kept a form for dignity not many would be able to match in same condition.
They had good eyes Naruto decided, strong eyes. They should be able to handle it.
Noting that he had about four minuets to do this.
"I has a deal I want to make" Said Naruto with an unnatural wide smile. "One you can't possibility refuse"
"What's the deal brat?" Asked the blonde harshly. She wasn't proud of it but she would take what she could get to advance up the tower, but she wouldn't beg, she would no however matter how much it hurt her pride take clarity if that was what that was needed.
The black haired one just observed in silence, but she couldn't hide the hope blossoming in her eyes.
"You have but one risk left to take" Naruto lifted one hand and a violent energy appeared that felt hot and furious, an much a copy of the blonde one's aura as he could make that he made.
Then showing just as much a monstrous nature he had a shard of his own essence appeared that the energy now was twisting around. A shard of what was his soul encased in yang infused chakra.
In his other hand a cold unfeeling power appeared that was encased another small piece of his soul. Yin chakra.
He had become truly monstrous creature. But he suppose that was what happened if someone become aware of his own soul. He could manipulate his own soul, and it was that manipulation that made him able to take human form.
He had shattered limits on his soul long ago when he learned the Shadow clone technique, which split up all his power and what was him, including his soul.
In a way that was what he made in each hand. A shadow clone of his soul without the body.
"Do you accept the power which I offer you? To rise above the limits of what god has given you?" asked Naruto smiling.
There was doubt in both their eyes as they stared, but both steeled themselves. If they had to sell their soul to the devil they would do it.
"Yes!" They said at the same it.
At the sound of each others voice both of them threw a glare at the other.
"Good" said Naruto as he walked over to the blonde first and pressed the yang soul into her body and afterward did the same to the black haired on with the yin soul. Then he dragged them together so he could touch them both when the time ended.
Then he stabbed himself with his needle weapon and made them drink his blood, forcefully.
There was 2 minutes left.
Not nearly enough for the planed transformation to take place, but he could start. He put an hand on each of them and began to fuse his blood and chakra with theirs.
Binding them to himself as well.
It was a painful process, but they didn't scream. Granted he made it slower in order not to make it too painful and knock them out, but it would take longer for it to be finished.
It was lucky that they was weak, as they couldn't fight the invasion of foreign power. Making the mixing of their power run smoothly, or rather the converting of their weaker power into his crude general copy of their power.
If they was stronger the process would likely kill them.
First he moved his blood to work on their injuries so they didn't die of blood loss. Already the wounds was closing ever so slowly. It would take awhile but they wouldn't die from them now.
Now all he had to do was protect them till they healed up, which would be about 15 minutes, 5 minutes if I want to risk them going insane or explode.
Touching them as the time ran out some kind of energy grabbed them, teleporting them. It was a very curios feeling for someone as world aware as Naruto, it felt like he was dragged in between space instead of through it.
As he disappeared he wondered what kind of other challengers that await him inside this marvelous Tower.
The Tower of God!
