Gods and Mortals
Sasuke dodged another brutal kick from Rai, the Lightning God, before retaliating with a quick Black Lightning Sphere towards Rai. However, the God just jumped over the attack, before landing on the tiled floor with the utmost amount of grace that only a God could achieve.
Both Naruto and Sasuke had been dragged off to a temple-like place. It was both yellow and a grayish color that was very…nothing could describe it better than bland. It was split in half by these colors, easily noticeable by one meaning lightning and one meaning wind.
They had been separated, only to see each other during meal times, and at the evening sparing where they would both spar against each other once, and then tag team both of their sensei's, Rai and Kai. When they met both boys couldn't help but crack a joke at the twin Gods rhyming names.
They were punished severely for it. They now knew, that joking around with these two Gods wasn't a go, unless they were teasing each other, or getting into fights, which they usually did.
This led us to where we currently were, the evening, during one of the tag team sparing sessions. Naruto and Sasuke were fighting admirably, even using strategy, something that Naruto found rather insulting he would have to use. However, they were still getting destroyed. It was if they Gods were slowly basting a turkey, which they were then preceding to beat the living daylights out of.
As soon as Rai touched down he took off, pummeling Sasuke with a flurry of coordinated, yet very simple punches, that easily sent him stumbling. He lifted his foot for a front kick; however Naruto appeared just in time catching the foot.
"Now Sasuke," Naruto roared, and his best friend nodded.
Sasuke jumped over Naruto both fists covered in black lightning.
"Lightning God's Dual Chop," Sasuke roared as he straightened his hands, to that of a knife before swinging them toward Rai's neck; however both were blown away by a black gust of wind.
"Weak," Kai said, before charging the two.
Both boys growled before returning the charge. They sent a barrage of kicks and punches towards Kai; however the God seemed to laugh in their faces as he dodged each and every attack they threw at him.
'Fine then. Let's show them some of our techniques from being a ninja,' Sasuke thought to himself.
He forced Magic to build up behind his eyes, activating his Sharingan. His usual onyx eyes turned a burning crimson with one tomoi in each eye.
'Sucks that I have to restart my Sharingan maturity process though,' Sasuke grumbled in his mind.
Kai raised his leg, easily landing a front kick square in Naruto's chest, sending the blonde flying all the way into a wall. He wasn't done though, as he sent a roundhouse kick towards Sasuke. Even with his Sharingan activated, without it fully matured Sasuke had no chance to even see the strike coming. He was sent crashing into a wall to the left of Naruto, unconscious, as was his blonde friend.
"They've improved, enough for us to actually have to dodge instead of only blocking their strikes anymore," Kai said.
"Have they, or are we being to lenient on them," Rai said.
"Well, we could start helping them with their other Magic. But, there's two things I want you to know if we start this," Kai said.
Rai looked at his twin with a questioning look on his face.
"Firstly, as we both know they each have one more Magic they can learn naturally, going by our first analysis, however we ere wrong. They both have two more Magic they can learn. Sasuke's was hidden, as he can only use it proficiently with those eyes of his activated, and the boy, Naruto. He can learn Heavenly Body Magic, but that's not all."
Rai saw how his brother's face grew even sterner, if that was possible, and knew the next information he was going to receive would not be good.
"You can't sense it, because we separate the boys in our own territories; however Naruto he has three Magic pools. As you know humans have their regular Magic pools, and both boys have an immense amount of that. Then humans have their Second Origin and its size is usually even bigger than the normal amount, and it usually stops there. However, whenever Naruto sleeps, or is knocked unconscious a third, even greater pool of magic appears from his signature. It's gigantic, easily comparable to our own. It doesn't seem to have any malicious intent, so I didn't question Naruto about it, however it does have a slight demonic sense to it so it does worry me," Kai said, finishing up his rambling.
Rai took in all this information, wondering what it could mean.
"So in a nutshell," Rai said. "We have to teach Sasuke how to use Arc of Embodiment and Illusion Magic, and we have to teach Naruto how to use Energy-Make and Heavenly Body Magic along with this dark Magic Naruto has?"
"That's pretty much it," Kai said.
Rai nodded, before dragging Sasuke of two his chambers for his rest. Kai quickly followed suit.
XxX
As Naruto was sleeping he dreamt of the past, more specifically, the meeting with the angle.
(-Flashback-)
Naruto and Sasuke clashed with the man again. However, as they both threw forward their Chidori and Rasenshuriken they were both hit in the back of the back, specifically their spinal cord, with something very sharp.
Both of them dropped to the ground, bleeding out profusely.
"What the heck happened," Naruto gurgled.
"The man had backup. At least, it's my guess," Sasuke responded.
"Correct, Sasuke," said the man as he slithered forward. "However, it would be a waste to kill you. No, I will use both of you in the upcoming war. With the Akatsuki defeated, nothing can stand in my way," the man cackled before grabbing both boys by the neck.
As he dragged them away the boys died. The two spirits looked at each other, before the scenery changed. They were in a room, with bleak walls, and nothing particularly interesting about it, except for the girl sitting it front of them.
She was quite tall, about 5'9" with long, flowing blonde hair. It reached her thighs, before splitting into pigtails to reach the floor. She had creamy skin, with hazel eyes, and an angular face. She wore a light blue gown, with a kind smile on her face that radiated warmth.
"Hello, Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki," the girl.
Both Naruto and Sasuke dropped into a fighting stance.
The girl raised her hands in defense, still with that smile on her face. "Calm down, I'm not here to cause trouble, just to help."
Naruto and Sasuke still looked suspicious, but dropped their fighting stance.
"Thank you," the girl said. "Now on to business. As you both probably know you're dead."
The duo nodded.
"Good. Sometimes we have delusional people. Anyway, the Rikudo and I were reviewing you're life to see if you should go to Heaven or Hell, and well we realized that both of you could go to Heaven. But also, Sasuke could go to Hell. Wait, I think I'm forgetting the main reason here," she mumbled to herself.
Naruto and Sasuke sweat dropped at the girls antics.
"Oh yeah! Anyway we both decided that your lives…we're glorious…ly bad. So, we decided to send you to another dimension. In this dimension there is a kingdom called Fiore, where you will be dropped off at. In this place, called Earthland, you will be mages. Mages are basically people who can use Magic. Now don't say Magic isn't real because in this place it is," the girl said, effectively cutting off any arguments the two were about to say.
She giggled. "Anyway, you will both be mages, meaning you can use Magic. Why are we letting this happen? I dunno, ask the boss. Now, back on topic, there are guilds all around Fiore, which are places where mages gather to do jobs, make friends, and earn money. That's about the summary you're going to need. The rest you can learn are by being there, I mean you are shinobi aren't you? Oh, also, both of you will keep any clan bloodlines you have, or any other gifts," she said looking at Naruto.
"The only thing that will happen to those will be that they will be converted to Magic. Meaning the Sharingan is Magic, and Kurama will be a being made of Magic, still impossible to kill, and still sealed inside you," the lady said.
"But I thought Kurama was supposed to leave my body at death," Naruto said.
"Well, that was one possibility. However, since you two bonded Kurama actually chose to die and stay with you when you died," the angel said.
Naruto's jaw dropped.
"Close your jaw, brat. You'll catch flies," said a deep rumbling in Naruto's mind.
"That's it. You'll be leaving now," she said. However, her face turned very dark and ominous. "But, YOU FORGOT TO COMMENT ON MY WINGS," the girl said, her eyes turning cruel.
Naruto and Sasuke didn't have time to comment, only now noticing her beautiful dove wings behind her back, before they were enveloped in a big bright light.
(-Flashback End-)
Naruto groaned as he woke up. It was still night.
'Dumb, annoying angel,' he thought, before getting out of bed and going to the training grounds.
When he reached the platform he saw Sasuke there, practicing an all too familiar technique.
"Practicing the Lightning God Style: Chidori again huh," Naruto asked.
If Sasuke was surprised by Naruto's sudden appearance, he didn't show it.
"Yeah. You come here to practice the Sky God Style: Rasenshuriken," Sasuke asked.
"Yup," Naruto said as he walked down onto the platform, before starting to create a swirling ball of Magic.
The two continued this training for the rest of the night.
Author's Note: Hey everybody, it's Kuma Akuma. Anyway, some of you may be wondering why I gave Sasuke the Arc of Embodiment as a magic. Honestly, I felt like Sasuke just wouldn't be Sasuke without it. I mean, yeah I could give him Fire Magic, instead. But, it's so easily countered these days that unless your Natsu and Zancrow it doesn't matter how strong your fire is. Sure I could have added Sasuke to that group, but I didn't want to knowing the Sasuke would be given a much more versatile range with Arc of Emodiment, plus it helps out later in the story.
