Chapter 2: Being Sent to Another World

"Predicament? What predicament?" asked Naruto. Hagoromo thinks for a moment on how to respond to the boy without frightening him as much, but he believes the boy needs to know what he's about to learn. "Naruto, I'm afraid that you have been pronounced dead or missing from your own world" said Hagoromo. Naruto, looking shocked, yells out "wait I'm dead?!" Hagoromo nods in affirmation. With that revelation Naruto can only look sad because there's nothing he can do to reverse this situation, but there's something that is bothering him.

"Hey, I gotta ask you a question, what was that power I just released accidentally on the villagers?" asked Naruto. Hagoromo responds, "that power you released is accidental magic I believe." "Accidental magic? Are you saying that I have magical powers?" Naruto asked. Hagoromo nods in affirmation, "yes my boy, you have awakened your magical core due to all the repressed anger you have held your whole life being released due to the situation you were in." Naruto looked surprised and was about to do some victory pose, when he had to ask, "wait are there people also like me?"

"People with a magical core like yours are rare in your previous world, so I'm afraid that you may be the only one to be known to have this power" Hagoromo responded. Naruto after hearing this felt rather gloomy considering that he's the only one to have this ability. However, Hagoromo managed to uplift Naruto's spirits with what he is about to say: "But there's another world where people have similar powers such as yourself." "Wait really?! There's a world where I can meet people with the same abilities?!" Naruto asked. "Yes, and that is where I'm planning to send you to," Hagoromo responded.

"Why? Why would you do this for me?" Naruto asked. The Sage of Six Paths responded: "Because I believe you deserve a second shot at life after being treated like a plague your whole entire life, and I also believe your potential could be fully realized if taught properly." Naruto thinks to himself for a moment, and ultimately he accepts as he believes that if the villagers who have wronged him his whole life won't accept him as a person, then he should find the people who would accept him. Before he could go any further he thinks about the people who at least didn't hate him; "Old man third hokage, Iruka sensei, big sis Ayame, Teuchi… I wish things didn't have to come to this, but I believe in order for me to find my place in life, I have to move forward and never look back, even if it means I'm going back on my word" thought Naruto. So Naruto nods in affirmation to the Sage about his acceptance to be sent to the new world; Hagoromo smiles and starts the process, but there is one thing left; "Before we begin, Naruto, there is one thing I must do" Hagoromo responds. "What is it?" Naruto asked before he was rendered unconscious.

In Naruto's Mindscape

Hagoromo explores Naruto's mindscape, which appears to be a sewer of some kind, with multiple paths, as if it were a labyrinth leading to somewhere… sinister. As Hagoromo explores the mindscape of Naruto, he finds what or who he's looking for. As the Nine Tails wakes up, he comes across a ghost from his past. "Father?!" exclaimed the Nine Tails. "Hello Kurama, how are things with you?" Hagoromo responded, smiling at the Nine Tails, now known as Kurama. "How are you still alive?! But other than that it's great to see you again!" exclaimed Kurama. Hagoromo chuckled, still remembering how Kurama was when he was only a little fox pup. "Now I'm sure that you may have lots of questions for me, but I'm afraid I only have a limited amount of time so I need you to listen to me" responded Hagoromo seriously. "What is it I should know?" Kurama asked. Hagoromo responded: "I need you to take care of Naruto, help him with his journey to the new world, please?" Kurama scoffed with bitterness, "Why should I help my pathetic excuse of a jailer? You know how much I loathe humanity after I was forced to be jailed inside Mito, so once again I ask why?" Kurama responded rather annoyed. "Because I believe Naruto will be different. I sense that he will be the one to help usher an era of peace, and not only that, I believe he can change people to become better than what they're, so once again I ask will you help him?" Hagoromo asked. "Ugh…fine I'll help that brat out" Kurama begrudgingly agreed. Hagoromo smiled and responded with this: "Thank you Kurama, you truly are kind."

Back in the Other Plane of Existence

"Ugh… I feel like I got ran over by a herd of bulls" Naruto responded after waking up from that knockout. Hagoromo chuckled, "my apologies, I had to take care of something regarding your problem, so anyways I believe it's time for your new journey to begin" Hagoromo responded. So Hagoromo opens the portal, which begs the question as to where it leads. As Naruto gets up and is about to enter the portal, he does one final thing; "Thank you Hagoromo for giving me this new chance at life, I promise I won't waste it, believe it!" Naruto responded smiling when in actuality it looks like he's holding back his tears. Hagoromo smiles nodding in agreement, and so Naruto goes to the portal. "Good luck Naruto, that world will really need your help" Hagoromo responds to himself as Naruto enters the portal.

Inside the Portal

Naruto didn't expect much in the portal, but it seems the portal is much more than an entrance. As such, instead of expecting a nice and quick entrance to the new world, Naruto is falling down a gauntlet of fragments showing vague images of other worlds. However, Naruto did manage to find certain fragments that hint at different universes, with one being where he did become the Hokage, one where he led an army of white armored men while wielding a laser sword, one where he's perched on a rooftop watching over an unknown city in the night dressed as some winged creature, etc. Naruto is screaming, fearing for his life, as he is falling down the fragments of the multiverse, but luckily it is over as a portal opens which will lead him to the new world.

The New World

It was a bright sunny day in the month of July, somewhere in Scotland lies a castle overlooking a lake. On the outside, the castle may appear to be in ruins but in actuality the castle is perfectly fine as it has been made to be a secret to prevent any outsiders trespassing on the grounds. Inside the castle, an old man dressed in a strange robe is walking the castle grounds with an old woman wearing a pointy hat by his side. "It sure is a lovely day isn't it Minerva" said the old man. "Indeed it is Albus" said the old woman now known as Minerva. The old man, Albus, smiled and was about to say more when he noticed something strange up in the sky.

The portal opens, showing Naruto falling down. "Ahhhhhhh!" Naruto screams as he is about to fall down. Albus watches what is going on in the sky as he notices Naruto falling down. Rushing quickly, Albus encants a spell to save Naruto from plummeting to death, "Wingardium Leviosa" Albus said as he conjured the spell to help Naruto to get down safely. As such, Naruto is let down safely, but it seems due to what happened, Naruto passed out. Both Albus and Minerva check up on the boy, and Minerva can only ask this: "Who is this boy Albus? Better yet how did he manage to get here?" Albus only responds with "I don't know Minerva, and as much as I want to know as well, I believe we should get the boy to a bed and let him rest up, then we can ask him questions."
