Reviews corner
Monsterkillers124: gotta go back and fix that. As for the elemental abilities, those mostly come from power-ups and I didn't want to just have Naruto get those kinds of abilities on his own. Don't worry power-ups are in the plans
Davidab931: that's a mean way to start a review, glad you like the fight, though I think it might be a bit on the short side. You'll find out in this chapter
Blazes207: should find out in this chapter
Landon Turoski: thanks
R reyes: here's more
Enoch: Kurama has a part to play. Just not yet
Guest (Nobody style): glad you found the fic. I kinda have it set up so Peach COULD end up with him as I am unsure of who would be with him. It is a possible harem but it is most likely going to be one. I didn't really have a plan for adding Booette or Chompette. I will see what I can come up with
Crofty666: technically Bowsette wasn't planned, she was just a spontaneous idea I put in. none of the other ettes were planned in
Djinn: thank you
AnimeFan419: maybe
Psudocode Samurai: she is the meme that Nintendo accidentally made and a lot of people want to be made real. None of the other ettes are planned but who knows, I might do it. Nice idea
Sly Dragneel: who knows, the crown is mysterious to all. Love that anime
Jc375884: thanks
TimberlineWolf: Bowsette was a spontaneous whim and I like that I got it. We will see later on. As for Daisy, I had no plans for her but I might introduce Naruto to her at some point
Guest 2: glad that you came to like the fic after the second chapter. Naruto will still get his chakra abilities but the super crown has given him abilities that he doesn't know yet. Power-ups are planned. And there are a few good harem MCs just not that many.
.3950: already got ideas for those abilities but thanks for sharing. Might use them
Guest 3: here's more
12Ookami12: so impatient are ya
SPark681: keeping it up
Kilare T'suna: I know the video you are referring to and it actually came to mind as I was writing the speech between Peach and Bowsette, it's what inspired a piece of dialogue the Bowsette had
Planar-Walking-Entertainment: here's more and the next chapter for Chaotic Maelstrom is in the works
Lauren Thorn: they might
Killjoy3000: god point, might just change it now rather than later

Chapter 3: small tour
*knock knock knock* "Naruto! Are you home? Come out of there! It's been four days since you've been in class and you can't keep skipping it!"
Iruka was tapping his foot in front of Naruto's apartment door. Skipping class wasn't something that was new when it came to the blonde but it had been four days since Naruto was last seen and Iruka knew that skipping for four days would hinder Naruto's chances of graduating more and more.
After another minute, Iruka sighed as he shook his head. "Naruto, if you aren't going to speak to me then just know that you need to show up in class if you want any chance at graduating." he began to walk away as he thought about the boy. Normally when Naruto skipped class, he could catch the boy fairly easily. He would just anticipate where Naruto would most likely go and cut him off. The thing that was bugging him was the fact that Naruto hadn't pulled any pranks recently. When Naruto skipped class, he would usually pull a village-wide prank and run away from the Chunin, jonin, and even the Anbu. but it's been quiet. He then thought about the last time he had seen the blonde and it was just before Mizuki came back saying that Naruto had attacked him before running away. This was odd as it wasn't in Naruto's nature to attack someone for no reason. Even when someone would bad mouth him, Naruto would just wave it off.
Iruka chose to head to the one place he knew Naruto would pop up no matter what. Ichiraku Ramen
~Ichiraku Ramen~
Iruka was closing in on the stand and he caught a glimpse of blonde hair. Knowing only one blonde that goes to the stand he smiled and made his way to it. He moved the flap as he called out "Naruto, where have….." he paused as he saw that it wasn't Naruto, but Ino. "Ino? I didn't know you ate here."
Ino brought up the noodles that were already being eaten by her and swallowed before she glared at the older man. She pointed her chopsticks at him as she grumpily said "blame Naruto for this. He forced me to eat ramen before and I hate him for it!"
Iruka tilted his head as she saw her take another bite. "If you hate him for that, why are you eating it?"
Ino swallowed another bite before she grumpily grumbled out. "Because it's delicious. Stupid Naruto, ruining my diet." she took another bite out of her ramen.
Iruka then saw that Ino wasn't the only one there. "Sakura? Hinata? I suppose Naruto got you hooked on Ramen as well?"
Sakura had finished her bowl already so she was just drinking tea now. She shook her head as she answered "not really, it's good for lunch but I came here looking for Naruto, like Ino. Hinata actually likes ramen a lot, so I guess she could have come here for it but turns out that she was looking for Naruto too."
Iruka was confused about all three looking for Naruto and asked "why were you looking for him?"
Ino finished her bowl and placed it on the counter "I was looking for him to rub it in his face that he lost this week in our competition since I got three new flowers to add to my garden."
Sakura shook her head "always trying to one-up each other in your little contest."
Iruka couldn't help but give a dry chuckle as he thought about that statement. 'like you two when you are after Sasuke. At least Naruto and Ino's contests are less violent.' he sighed before looking towards Hinata who had several bowls stacked next to her. He sweatdropped as he had another thought. 'She could give Naruto a run for his money.' he looked back towards Sakura and asked "why were you looking for him, Sakura?"
Sakura folded her arms as she spun in her seat so she could lean her back against the counter "we have a test coming up and I know for a fact that Naruto won't get through it if he doesn't study so I was looking for him to help him out."
Iruka then gained a look that said he had something he wanted to ask. Thinking about the best way to word it, he looked towards Sakura. "Speaking of which. You helped him out for the last test. Did you make sure he could remember all that he learned?"
Sakura smirked at this as she remembered the last study session. "With all the studying we did and how he could recite the chapters about the Hokage by heart, I know for a fact that he passed."
This surprised Iruka as he remembered that Naruto had failed the test. But with what Sakura had said, he should have had no trouble with it since most of the test had to deal with the four Hokage and their achievements with some basic ninja-related questions thrown in. 'Then why did he not answer them all correctly?' Something wasn't right about this and he felt the need to look into it but at the moment he needed to find the boy. He looked at the last girl and asked "what about you, Hinata? Why were you looking for him."
Hinata sighed sadly as she remembered the last time she saw him. "When Naruto came into class a few days ago, I could tell that something was bothering with him. He may be able to hide it from most people but I could tell that something was wrong."
Ino perked up at this as she looked to the Hyuga. "Now that you mention it, I noticed the same thing. The smile he gave looked like the one he usually has but it kinda felt...off."
Sakura nodded as she also had the same thought about the blonde boy. "Maybe it has to do with the light bruising he had on his eye?"
Iruka was a little stunned to hear that Naruto had some bruising on his eye. he chose to file that little bit of info for later before he sighed as he just found out that something was bothering Naruto and he didn't even notice.
"Welcome, Iruka."
Iruka looked up towards Ayame and noticed that she was looking around for something. or rather someone. "Something wrong, Ayame?"
Ayame sighed sadly as she didn't see her favorite blonde. "I was hoping that Naruto would be with you. I wanted to talk to him since the last time he was here, he was hurt. Both physically and emotionally."
Iruka was now worried "when was the last time you saw him?"
Ayame sighed sadly before she spoke, "about four or five days ago."
Iruka thought about what had happened during that time and remembered when Mizuki had told him that Naruto attacked him before running away. 'Four days and no one has seen him. Not even Ayame.' "so no one has seen him in days?" he saw that all the females shook their heads. "Oh no." he bowed to Ayame, giving his goodbye before he left. He began taking a brisk pace towards the Hokage mansion. The only person that sees Naruto the most, besides Ayame, would be the Hokage and that is mostly because the elderly man kept an eye on Naruto a lot. 'If Ayame hasn't seen him, then he might be in trouble.'
~Naruto~
Our favorite male blonde slowly opened his eyes as he regained consciousness. 'What happened to me?' he tried to remember what happened before he lost consciousness until he remembered his fight with Bowsette and how she had mopped the floor with him. His eyes shot open to the sight of a familiar canopy. He heard something sparkle and turned his head to see the Princess sitting at his bedside with her eyes close and clasping her hands as if she was in prayer. There was a sparkling glow around her that seemed to spread from her own body to his. It was then that he felt a serene warmth surround him and he slowly sat up. "Princess Peach?"
Peach heard the voice and opened her eyes to the sight of Naruto sitting up in his bed. "Naruto! Thank goodness you are awake. After your battle with Bowsette, you had fallen unconscious and I grew worried when you had not regained consciousness after a day."
Naruto felt some dread at her statement as the way she said it made it seem like he was asleep for more than a day. "Wait, how long was I out?"
Peach placed her hands on her lap as she told him. "You had been asleep for almost three days. I had spent most of my time using my magic to heal you as I was worried you might not wake up."
Naruto went wide-eyed at being told that he had been asleep for three days. Not once had he been out that long. None of his previous beatings were enough for him to be unconscious that long. All he ever needed was a good night's sleep and most of his injuries would be healed. He wanted to freak out but instead, he chose to get up and bow to the Princess. He had been showing more respect to her as she was an actual princess and he had seen enough Princess movies to know that he should always treat them as such. He didn't show this much to the Hokage because it felt weird to even think about it. "Thank you for everything you did for me, Princess Peach."
Peach smiled as she got up from her seat and walked over to the boy. Once she was in front of the still bowing boy, she brought her hand up and cupped his cheek before she gently lifted his head so he could see her. "Please just call me Peach, Naruto." she may have only just met the boy but she had become very fond of him. Her fondness for him had actually grown during the time she had been healing him as with her magic she could feel that there was a sadness in him that he had hidden well. As she used her magic, she did not just try to heal his wounds, she had also tried to soothe the sadness he had. She felt it was wrong for such a kind-hearted boy such as him to have sadness that had made her cry when she felt it. 'He should always be smiling.'
Naruto blushed as she cupped his cheek but he didn't try to hide it as he smiled up at her. "Thank you, Peach." he stood up straight as she let his cheek go. He was about to say something when a knock was heard at the door
Peach looked to the door and asked "who is it?"
"It's a me, Mario."
Peach smiled as she moved over to the door and opened it to show her long-time friend and savior, Mario Mario. "Welcome back, Mario. How was your time in New Donk City?"
"It was good. I heard that Bowsette had attacked again but you had not been kidnapped his time."
Peach nodded as she moved to the side for Mario to come into the room and gestured to Naruto who was standing by the bed. "It was thanks to Naruto here that Bowsette had not taken me this time. He had entertained her enough that she had chosen to leave after the battle."
Mario looked to the boy and nodded. He walked up to the boy before bringing a hand up for a handshake.
Naruto looked at the hand for a second before bringing his own hand up to shake it
"Thank you for helping the Princess and entertaining Bowsette while I was away."
Naruto was confused at several bits of dialogue that went between the two. The way they had talked about the attack, it was like it was nothing major. Like it could happen and they would just say it was a typical Friday night. "Uh….you're welcome."
Mario smiled at the boy before his eyes noticed the crown on top of his head. This caused him to freeze at the sight as he recognized what it was. His eyes kept shifting from the crown to the boy's face and his eyes were not deceiving him.
Naruto noticed his shifting eyes and let go of the frozen man's hand. "Yeah, it's the Super crown. It fell on my head and I can't get it off." he began to tug on it as if trying to remove it but it just remained in its spot.
Mario looked back to the Princess with wide eyes and with the unspoken but clear question. "Is that REALLY…?"
Peach nodded as she moved over to stand behind Naruto. She placed her hands on his shoulder as she spoke. "Naruto here had found his way to our world through a World-pipe and had accidentally gotten the crown on his head. Much to our surprise, it had chosen him to be its wearer."
Mario still had one burning question on his mind but he saw the princess make a small gesture telling him that they can discuss it later.
Naruto tilted his head upward to see the smiling face of Peach before he remembered a question he wanted to ask. "How are the people in town? Are they ok?"
Peach smiled at Naruto before nodding. "Yes, they are alright. If you'd like, we can go visit the town."
Naruto nodded as he wanted to see if the Toads in town were ok.
Peach then walked to the door, gesturing for the men to follow her.
~later~
It had taken a while for the horse carriage they were riding to get to the town.
Naruto thought it was odd since it didn't seem that far away with how fast he had gotten there during the battle but he figured it was because he was more worried about helping the Toads than he worried about the distance. He was glad when the carriage stopped and they got out. He was expecting to see the town in shambles and still in pieces but instead, the town looked like it was brand new. Like there wasn't an attack just a few days ago. "Wha…? But how?"
Peach giggled at his dumbfounded look before answering. "We have had to rebuild so much that we are able to completely restore the town relatively quickly."
Naruto still thought it was odd how fast the repairs went but since he didn't know anything about how to rebuild a town he shrugged his shoulders and just accepted the answer. But that did bring up something he wanted to know. "You said that your people are used to it and with the way you and Mario spoke, it was like the attack was a game, why?"
Peach sighed as she began to walk into town, with Naruto and Mario following her. "Bowsette was once a tyrant with intentions of ruling the whole Mushroom kingdom. At that time, the attacks were far more dangerous and we were always trying to defend as best we could. However, after a certain incident, she had begun to mellow out her attacks and would never intentionally harm anyone. It is why most of her forces were slow and only captured Toads to set them aside. She had told us that she does it now because it is a form of entertainment for when she has nothing else to do. Now the most grievous injuries that we have to deal with are bruises, cuts, and a few burns and with the magic we have, those can be healed quite quickly."
Naruto could not believe what he was just told. He stopped his walking as his two companions moved further ahead of him. "So…..that attack a few days ago was…..?"
Both Peach and Mario turned to smile at the blonde boy with Peach saying "a typical Wednesday afternoon."
Naruto face-faulted at such an answer. 'That was just a typical Wednesday?!' he shook his head as he felt that since this wasn't Konoha, things must be different for them. He began to follow the two as he looked around at the repaired town. As he walked through the streets behind Peach and Mario, he finally got a look at the town. Compared to how it was during the attack, the sky was a bright blue with white clouds. The grass in the distance mountains looked so full of life with how vibrant the green color they had. And instead of the goombas, koopas, and bullet bills, he saw smiling faces of Toads in different colors.
The townspeople saw the princess walking with the celebrity hero Mario but it was when they saw the new person with them that they all smiled and began to wave to him.
Naruto saw all of the toads begin to wave at him and he began to shrink in on himself since he wasn't used to such treatment. He brought up his hood in an attempt to hide his face and raised his hand to give a small nervous wave to everyone.
Peach turned her head and saw how he was trying to hide himself from everyone's view. She spun around and stopped walking as she waited till he was right in front of her. She smiled at him as he looked up at her. She brought up her hands and slowly lowered his hood before using her fingers to cup his chin and bring his face up. "No need to hide here, Naruto. They are all grateful for what you did for them. You had never met anyone in my kingdom before, you are in a different world entirely and yet you jumped into battle to save them. You do not need to be ashamed of doing that. Instead, hold your head up high and be proud of what you did." she then cupped his cheek and ran her thumb over his whiskers. "I am also grateful to you for what you did for my people. That was a very brave thing you did."
Naruto looked her in the eye before his eyes shifted to Mario who stood just behind Peach and saw the man nod his head. He looked back at the princess before mumbling out "Thank you… and you're welcome "
Peach nodded with a bright smile before she took a step back and clasped her hands on her lap. She then turned around and began to walk again. "Come Naruto, I wish to show you around 'Toad town'."
Naruto could not help but find the place amazing. Sure, Konoha had this air of a peaceful village but the town that stood outside of the castle gave off the feeling of happiness. Some things he noticed were that despite how he originally thought that there were only Toads in the town, it turned out there were other inhabitants. Namely some goombas and koopas. But with how they were acting with the toads, he figured that they just lived here without causing any trouble. As he was looking around he noticed a plant that was on the window shelf. It was an odd plant as it had a red bulbous bud with white polka dots and a green vine that ran over the top. He leaned in closer as it was an interesting plant. 'Maybe I can take one of these with me to show Ino?'
"Careful!"
Naruto was suddenly pulled back as a flash of teeth chomped at his face. He looked back to see Mario had pulled him away from what he could now see as a man-eating plant.
Mario sighed in relief before he chuckled "they are called a Piranha plant. They are much bigger than these and can be a real problem but when they are this size they…"
*chomp*
The two males looked to see the plant chomp at a fly before chewing and eating it.
"They are good for that."
Naruto nodded as he mentally told himself. 'Better NOT get one to show Ino."
After exploring the town, they had stopped in the town square and sat on the fountain edge.
Mario had left the two so he can get something for the three of them to eat
As the two sat at the fountain, Naruto saw several different locations in the distance. "Hey, Peach?"
Peach looked at him with a tilt of her head, prompting Naruto to continue.
Naruto pointed to a certain area that could be seen, that looked like it was a snowy mountain but he could see there were several bright buildings on it. Which was amazing since from what he could tell the mountain was very far away. "What's on top of that mountain?"
Peach followed his finger and saw what he was pointing at. She smiled as she began to answer him. "That is the snowscapes. What you see at the top are lodges that are used for when someone wants to go skiing or just to enjoy the snow." she then thought about the many different locations that are within the Mushroom kingdom. "There are many different types of locations within my kingdom, Naruto. Maybe I can show you what it has to offer you sometimes?"
Naruto smiled at Peach before nodding. "I'd like that."
Before anything else could be said someone began shouting
"MARIO~? Mario? MArio!"
Naruto looked towards who was calling out to Mario to see someone that looked a lot like him. The difference was that he was taller, skinnier, and was wearing green instead of Mario's red. The thing that caught most of Naruto's attention wasn't the man though, it was the green lizard thing that was walking next to him. Not only that but the lizard thing seemed to have something on its back
Peach saw the duo and called out to them. "Luigi! Yoshi! Over here!"
Luigi and Yoshi turned their heads to see Princess Peach calling them over. They both walked over to her and saw that she wasn't alone.
Peach stood up to greet them before turning to the still sitting blonde boy "Naruto, this is Luigi and Yoshi." she gestured to the two respectively. "Luigi is Mario's younger brother while Yoshi is Mario's travel companion on many of his adventures." she then looked to the two. "This is Naruto. He was the one to defend Toad town when Bowsette had last attacked."
Luigi shivered in fear as he remembered the attack. He was on the outskirts of town when it happened and he did his best to deal with several of the invading forces but he didn't get to the main battle before the troops all left.
Yoshi nodded as he had heard of the attack and came as fast as he could to see if he could help Mario repel the Koopa army. But when he arrived, the battle was over. He came rushing not only to help Mario but to make sure that the daycare center that several baby Yoshi were staying at was ok. Thankfully, no damage was done to the building. Something he was grateful for was that Bowsette's forces tended not to damage buildings like daycares, schools, or anything that could house children. He was surprised to hear that it wasn't Mario that fought Bowsette this time but a newcomer to the Mushroom kingdom. "Thank you for helping the town."
Naruto was surprised to hear Yoshi speak since he was not expecting it to do that. "Uh….you're welcome." he then saw a bunch of baby Yoshis of different colors pop out from behind Yoshi's head and all stared at him. "Wow. I didn't know you had kids.'' Before he could say anything else, the baby Yoshi's all opened their mouths and shot out their tongues at him, sticking to several spots on his face. "Ah!". he shut his eyes as several of the tongues were now stuck to his eyelids as he almost lost balance at the sudden push to his face.
Peach covered her mouth as she thought it was amusing to see Naruto get this kind of attention. "That means they like you."
Yoshi was surprised to see all the babies on his back were all indicating liking someone they had not met before. Yoshi's in general were very VERY good judges of character. For the babies to do this must mean that Naruto was a very kind person and someone they could trust wholeheartedly. Since the babies all seemed to like him and how he had protected the town, he gained an idea on how to repay the boy. And it just so happens he could do it right now.
Naruto felt relief when all the tongues were pulled back but he had to wipe off some of the saliva that their tongues left behind. He wiped his face with his hands and got the spit out of his eyes before he opened them to see something was put in front of him.
Peach was a little stunned at what she was looking at while Luigi looked on in intrigue
Naruto looked at the thing in his face to see that it was…..an egg. A very large egg with different colored dots all over its white shell. He looked to Yoshi as he was the one holding it out to him.
Yoshi smiled as he spoke "this is a thank you for helping the town while we were away. The babies all like you so that means that you are a good person. As thanks for what you did, I am giving you one of my eggs."
Naruto was stunned at the fact that he was being given an egg and he didn't know what to do. He looked to Peach as if asking what he should do.
Peach smiled at him as she said "to be given a Yoshi egg is a great honor. It means that the Yoshi tribe sees you as someone that they can rely on and will always help them when they are in need. This is also a sign of everlasting friendship between you and the Yoshis."
Naruto looked back at the egg before slowly taking it. He held it in his arms before looking at the smiling face of Yoshi. "Thank you."
Yoshi nodded as he accepted the thanks and saw the boy hold onto the egg gently.
"Yoshi! Luigi!"
Everyone saw Mario approaching them with a basket full of food.
Mario made it to them as he greeted his brother and best friend "good to see you two." He then turned to the blondes of the group and pulled out some sandwiches for them to eat. Once he saw the two take them he looked to his brother and friend. "Would you like to join us?"
Luigi thought about it for a second before nodding, prompting Yoshi to do the same
The group sat at the fountain as the residents of the Mushroom kingdom asked about Naruto and what he liked to do.
Naruto told them about himself while keeping his treatment in the village a secret as he didn't want to bother them with his problems. After he told them a bit about himself he asked about the Mario brothers which began the tales of their adventures
~meanwhile in Konoha~
Iruka stood in front of the Hokage as he had told the leader of the village that Naruto had not been seen in four days, not even by Ayame.
Hiruzen grew worried at hearing this as it was not like Naruto to just up and disappear without at least the Ramen chefs seeing him. "And you're sure they haven't seen him?"
Iruka nodded as he was now extremely worried for the young blonde. 'Not even the Hokage has seen him. Where are you Naruto?'
Hiruzen's mind was going a mile a minute as he thought about where the boy could be. His mind went through multiple negative scenarios and began to internally panic. He snapped his fingers and a group of Anbu appeared in front of Iruka in a kneeling position.
"Sir?!"
Hiruzen looked to the Anbu in front of him and spoke with authority. "I want you to begin a search for the young Naruto Uzumaki! I want him brought back safely and for any who may have harmed him to be dealt with. Also, I want two of you to tail Mizuki and report to me. but if there are any signs that he is responsible for Naruto's disappearance he's to be brought to me on his knees."
"SIR!" they all said before going to do as ordered
Iruka was shocked to hear that they were going to spy on his friend and made his thoughts known. "Sir? Why spy on Mizuki?"
Hiruzen looked to Iruka and knew that since the blue-haired man was Iruka's friend, he would not like the idea, but he needed to cover all bases. "I understand your concerns, Iruka but Mizuki was the last one to have seen Naruto, that we know of. Therefore he is not above suspicion."
Iruka just couldn't believe that Mizuki would have something to do with Naruto's disappearance since he had seen the two act friendly with each other while at school. "But sir…."
"We are shinobi, Iruka. Deception is something we all know how to do and the village's hatred for Naruto is deep. It is not out of the question that Mizuki may hold some form of hatred towards Naruto and is not showing it outright."
Iruka still held onto the idea that Mizuki had nothing to do with why Naruto was gone. But as he thought about the two, there was something that began to bug him. He couldn't put his finger on it but he trusted his feeling that there might be something there. It was then that he remembered what Sakura said about Naruto being knowledgeable about the previous and current Hokage. He gained a stern look as he bowed to the Hokage and dismissed himself as there was something he wanted to look into.
~Mushroom Kingdom~
Naruto had enjoyed all the time he had spent with everyone here and could say that it was the best day of his life. But he then felt that it was time to leave. "Guys. I love being here and meeting all of the people in the kingdom but I think it's time for me to go home." he didn't like the sad look he saw on all of their faces and for some reason, it felt off to say that last bit.
Peach had come to really enjoy Naruto's company but she knew that he had a home to go to and he had stayed for far too long. "Yes, you have stayed here for many days and I'm sure that your parents should be worried about you."
Naruto kept up his poker face but it was hard since it stung when he heard her say that "...Yeah."
With that, the group all went their own ways with the Mario brothers heading to their home, Yoshi going back to Yoshi island, leaving Peach and Naruto to head back to the castle.
Naruto stood in the very room he had arrived in as he looked at the green pipe that he was told would send him back. He looked behind him at both Toadsworth and Peach as they were here to see him off "so I guess this is it?" his grip tightened on the bag that was holding his old jumpsuit and he held the egg to his chest tighter as he felt like this was goodbye
Toadsworth twirled his mustache as he nodded "yes it is, dear boy."
Peach could see the sad look Naruto had and moved closer to him. She looked down at him before smiling "this isn't goodbye, Naruto. You can always come back whenever you wish."
Naruto fully turned to look up at Peach with a look of surprise "wait really? I can!?"
Peach nodded before she brought her hand up to the crown on his head. "This crown grants you the ability to summon a pipe much like this one for you to return here if you wish. All you have to do is wish for it and the pipe will appear in front of you no matter where you are."
Naruto'sfear of not being able to come back had immediately vanished as he was told that the thing that accidentally fell on his head would allow him to come visit whenever he wanted.
Peach smiled as she saw the sadness and fear vanish immediately. "We will see you again, Naruto."
Naruto nodded as he walked towards the pipe, ready to jump in.
"Oh, one last thing."
Naruto turned around and was about to ask what Peach wanted to say but stopped when he felt a pair of soft lips on his cheek.
"See you again, Naruto."
Naruto was dumbfounded as he couldn't comprehend that the princess had just kissed his cheek. After a few seconds of standing there, he shook his head before smiling at the two. "I'll see you guys later!" and with that, he leaped backward and down the pipe
Peach and Todasworth watched the boy leave before they began to make their way out of the room.
Toadsworth chuckled at the whole scene but again kept these thoughts to himself
~konoha~
A pipe sprung up from the ground in the middle of the forest before Naruto was seen jumping out of it and landing on his feet. The trip was faster than the last time he remembered but he chose not to dwell on it much. He turned around when he heard the pipe go back into the ground and disappear as if it was never there. He shrugged his shoulders before looking at the egg in his arms and smiled at it. "Wonder when it will hatch and what color Yoshi will come out of this?" he felt giddy and this thought before he began making his way out of the forest and towards his apartment

New cover art, though it is a prototype so it will most likely change
The Yoshi egg has multiple colored dots as I do not know which color Yoshi Naruto should get
I plan on adding some major game elements but that's for later on in the story
Don't have much else to say so see you next chapter. And if I did forget something, I'll just say it in the next chapter
