Check me out on Wattpad and RoyalRoad under MikaMathews.
"Where are we?" Tsunade asked, looking around her. They were in a large unfamiliar house with a roaring fire, the flames were burning a rich red. She felt their power, as clearly as feeling a Tailed Beast's power. The house's design was strange, clearly foreign. In the room with her were the very grumpy Elders, Jiraiya, Naruto, Danzo and Kakashi. All looking as confused as could be. "How did you get here, Jiraiya, last I knew you were at the border of Lightning country."
Her fellow Sanin frowned. "I do not know, Naruto and I were settling down at camp and... then everything went dark, like a genjutsu was stronger."
"That would be my doing." They all jumped as a strong, feminine voice drew their attention. From within the fire, a woman emerged, her hair in a brown veil, her face a stunning foreign beauty. However, one feature stood out more than the rest, making them all gasp. She had no eyes, instead, she had firey pits of red flames. " My name is Hestia, in my world, I am the Goddess of the Hearth and Home. Welcome to this place, created by our joined minds."
Tsunade stepped forward. "A goddess, you expect us to believe that?"
The woman turned to Naruto and snapped her fingers. Suddenly Naruto bent over, holding his stomach in agony. Red mist emerged and formed into... the Nine-tailed Fox. " Why don't you ask him, he knows of me."
The Fox nodded, ignoring the ninja all falling into stances of combat. "She is right, in her world there is no chakra but there are gods and goddesses, not unlike the Shinigami who sealed me away into the brat. Her power is far greater than my own, I would listen carefully." The Fox sighed, flexing its limbs. " It is good to be free, even a little."
The Goddess, for Tsunade, was now convinced, stepped forward and with a wave of her hand created chairs for them all. "Please, sit." They all obeyed. "I will be direct, I have come to take Naruto to my realm for training."
"NO!" The Elder screamed, only to cringe when the fire behind Hestia exploded.
"I understand your fears, but do not worry, Naruto will be safe with me and come back wiser and stronger than ever. He will be trained by Chiron, the trainer of Heroes, and alongside countless heroes and demigod. He will not be blessed as a demigod, but he will be empowered by our training and more advanced world."
Naruto, who finally recovered, barked out. " Why me?"
Hestia was quiet for a long moment. "Your mother, Kushina, was a friend of mine." Naruto gaped. "I never knew she had a child, only that she died. I came to look at Konoha, but I saw you and knew who you were. You have her spirit, her light... I loved Kushina like a daughter. She was fierce and kind, it was through my protection she came to the Leaf and was not killed when the Uzumaki were decimated. We met often, but the war made it hard and so I did not see her for some time before she passed.
When I read your soul, Naruto, I saw you held her burden, that of Kurama. Yes, the Fox has a name and is not evil. He will tell you the truth of the attack, isn't that right?" The Fox nodded, grumbling to everyone's shock. "I also saw how badly Kakashi and Jiraiya had failed you. They taught you nothing, Jiriaya threw you down a cliff! No, I had to intervene. Had things gone differently, I would have all but been your aunt, Naruto.
Time passes differently in my realm, Naruto will be gone for four years, til a destined event in my world. He will be a warrior, powerful and well trained. You have no choice, it is time for someone to care for the boy and damn it will be me. However, I thought it best you were warned."
They all surged forward, to challenge the goddess, only for Darkness to take them all and the ninja to all wake up in the council room sans Naruto. The air tingled with power and they knew they were screwed...
Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.
This was fun.
Love, your Ninja Overlord,
Mika.
