One track mind lost to the directionless wind...
Naruto lost forever?
Prologue
Questions unlike any other would surface from time to time in the mind of one Uzumaki Naruto. Things as they were he would grumble on their meaning and come forward with no conclusion or anything of that kind whatsoever. Yet for some reason this was the one moment in his life were he had never come up clueless.
Peeling at the edges of the Konoha leaf on his forehead protector he was thinking. Thinking without interruption. This was something that very few beings in Konoha were to be let part of. Ony Iruka-sensei knew of these moments of weakness as he had labeled them as. He would never let any one else know of them.
After waking up the following day he had been unable to step out of the bed he had slept in for the last three years give or take a few days. 'I am a ninja as of today... My duty is to protect Konoha. But why do I feel so empty?'
Shrugging at his futile thinking patterns after recognizing them for being such he set about plowing through his usual morning routine. He didn't notice anything being off until he glimpsed the date on the milk carton. 'Hmm the date is bad on the milk...' Carefully getting rid of the carton he finished his cereals with only water.
That was all he could do though. Looking at the watch adorning the wall of his neighbours wall through the now opened window he flinched reminded once more...
The moment had differed from what he had been used to. The general distaste visible in the eyes of the villagers had taken upon a different shade of hatred. Visible only to Naruto.
The kid that had thrown the forst rock and admonished for doing so by his mother had come back with his father. Now there were more people. Silent people.
They're eyes said somthing else though. When he thought of it so had the eyes of the childs mother...
Shaking in the remembrance Naruto forcibly ejected the searing tears from moments now longer applicable to himself...
Outside the weather was nice. Sunny green and blue with things bathing in it...
Naruto saw none of it and he experienced none of it.
"I WISH YOU'D LEAVE ME ALONE!"
Sadly the implications of this mental breakdown would not be revealed to the citizens of Konoha...
The Kyuubi could only take so much pain from his vessel before being forced to act. Being a demon born from a nexus of hellish energies he could do many things. Yet the sela on Young Naruto's stomach forbade most of them. What he could do to Naruto wasn't equally limited...
Blackish flames licked the outlines of the already crisp body of the former Naruto. They were visible only to those sensitive to ruptured soulmatter being projected though. The pain had forced the Kyuubi to act and release the perfect soultwin thereby halving the amount of soul within Naruto to the plains of the lost. Soul matrix however rarely stays lost...
Chapter 1
Ryouga Hibiki was not the most stable of beings to begin with. Living a life full of strife and very little stability would do that to you. However that was nothing to the fullblown hatefest Naruto had lived in. That was also the final factor summing in on the failure of the lost ones soul to keep inhabiting its designated vessel. Naruto Uzumaki had found his new home!
Waking up in a tropical rainforest full of dangerous animal beings and devoid of any chakra mastery what so ever Naruto had gone about stark raving mad for three days straight before settling down. He had also noticed the change from Amazonian type rainforest to bamboo type rainforest at that moment. He had blessed the gods for his still remaining stamina too.
With new eyes he had looked over the scenery ahead of him with squinted eyes. "Sticks of bamboo!"
Idly looking at the bamboo-equipped ponds he didn't really pay attention to the Panda bear raging in his direction...
Infact he didn't register said Panda tripping over him and yet once more falling back into the springs from which he had emerged!
SPLASH!
"Huh? What was that." The black and white blur disappearing into the water below was not enough to garner his attention however the redheaded wonder coming up next did...
Sakura had nothing on her...
With one fang poking out and two eyes waving about lazily taking in the full appearance of said redhead Ranma-chan didn't think. That also resulted in following violent sequence taking place...
"PERVERT!"
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
Naruto's world would as of that moment take a turn for the worse...
SPLASH!
Yes Ranma-chans instinctual reflex wasn't perfected to the point of pervertbashing glory yet. Naruto in Ryougas body was as of that moment cursed...
Cough, cough! "Oh man she's cuter than Sakura! I got to talk to her! Be a man Ryouga! Naruto I mean Naruto! Yeah... Eh. Why am I in my Sexy no Jutsu?"
A couple of awkward seconds of selfrealization later...
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"
Some warm water...
"OK! I got it. Hot water turns me back. Cold water turns on the jutsu! I am definitely becoming a genius ninja! I can feel it!" With fangs in place of the former cat hairs the grin speak volumes of his character as he sets of asking questions.
Some time later
"Ok. You don't know where Konoha is. Well goodbye then!"
A week later still no working jutsus...
'Grrrrr. I can't find Konoha. And my chakras all bad. I am only able to project it raw at best when focussing... And my name is either Ryouga and I am really stupid and childish or I am still Naruto great and becoming greater than anyone else. Naruto definitely. However there is no place called Konoha...'
Two slight figures very much alike if not for the difference in hair color. Ones head is red and the others is silvery white. Both have their hair spread out tapering to their backs wet and glistening. They are a silent duo both carrying ridiculously large backpacks.
"Ranma I must confess something."
"What? MOM!"
"Very well DAUGHTER! You are engaged to marr-"
"WHAAAAAT! AGAIN!"
"If you'll let me finish. This one you'll have to honour onlike the other ones..."
"You really think that matters...?"
"Shut up and do your duty!"
BOOOM!
"Ha got you! Got no time for this nonsense! I am getting bac to China! I knew saving those firecrackers would be clever. HAHAHAHA! Idiot OYAJI!"
TWACK!
The twohundred pound backpack lingering on the back of Ranma's head looked a bit to violent for the crowd who quickly ran off...
Now the scene coming up is familiar to most of the Ranma fans worldwide... However the only difference being the event of Genma Saotome showing up as female and being felt up aswell and not reacting in the same manner as Ranma. Infact mentioning it to one Nabiki Tendo ending up with Double clobbering after both partaking in similar ventures. Meaning both Genma and Ranma end up getting clobbered repeatedly for being perverts...
(I got tired at this point...)
