Disclaimer : I don't own Naruto or KonoSuba


The heavy clunk of a wooden wheel sounded out behind Naruto, causing his head to snap to its direction. He trembled in excitement; A new world that no one from Konoha had seen before, all his to explore.

Even in his excitement though Naruto would not let himself be caught unaware. He did not need nor want another goddess to laugh at him over his death.

Naruto and Aqua appeared near what looked like a town. He felt this town's peaceful energy, so much like Konoha that he couldn't help but of home caused a feeling of sickness to swim inside of him—there was no place like home after all. The blond shook his head to clear the sad thoughts clouding his mind; now was not the time to feel depressed. He had been given a second chance to live, to grow old, to gain some recognition.

While Naruto was looking around he noticed Aqua and found her kneeling while hugging her head, screaming and crying at the same time.

"Are you okay?" Naruto asked Aqua in a sincere tone who had tears spilling down her face, he hoped that she wasn't mad at him for bringing her here.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" screamed the bluenette,pulling at her hair. "You… it's all because of you." whispered Aqua angrily as she pounced towards the blond to grab him.

She tried to headbutt him but Naruto was doing his best to keep her away. Slowly he was failing in the task, his body not quite adjusted to his new surroundings, "Calm down geez. Why are you acting like this? All the people are looking towards us. I don't want to cause any commotion. Why don't you try to go back? You can do that right? You are a goddess after all."

Aqua tried to strangle the blond with teary eyes, "What are you talking about? I'm troubled because I can't go back! What now? I'm stuck here because of you! What should I do?" as she said that, Aqua fell into panic in tears, pacing around while hugging her head.

The blond shinobi was watching her with blank eyes, he didn't feel an ounce of pity to her. As she calmed down a little bit, Naruto said "Now you've calm down, let's find some information about this town."

The blond tried his hardest to remember, 'Okay let's see, what did Pervy sage say to do when you want information?'

"Listen well Naruto, when you're in unknown place you'll find information in brothels…" here Jiraiya gained a lechourous look in his eyes thinking about all the women that he'll woo, but a moment later he became serious and continued, "If you can't find any brothel then look for a bar, there's a bar in every town."

Naruto asked Aqua, "Goddess, is there any bar here where we can find information?"

"Don't call me Goddess, my name is Aqua, use that when trying to speak with me. Also how would I know if there's a bar in this town. This is my first time appearing here. I know the common knowledge of this world but not the situation of this town. This is just one of the many existing planets and a small town at that." Aqua huffed while giving Naruto a pointed look.

He didn't notice the glare pointed towards him as his focus was dedicated to scouring his surroundings. He may be a cheerful person, but he was a shinobi foremost, he was in an unknown place gathering information may prove useful in future.

There were a lot of people on the roadway, some with pointed ears while some had more animalistic features. He was in awe to see people with inhumane features, he had had few share of those with Inuzuka's back home, or the shark guy–who was with Sasuke's brother–tried to capture him during the mission. As his eyes scanned over the large crowd, he took notice that some people were carrying staves on their persons and others were armed with swords and shields.

The stave-wielders were outfitted with an odd sort of pointed hat that made them stick out amongst the crowd. The ones carrying swords stood out even more to him in their full body armor. Their clunking metallic forms and cold visage reminded him of the samurai he had seen in some Princess Fuin movies.

Naruto and Aqua started walking around the town searching for a bar. While walking around he felt gazes of a lot of people on him, not the glares that he received in Konoha mind you, maybe they were looking at the whisker marks on his cheeks, but there were people with animal ears around so why would they look at him like that? He hoped that they weren't looking at his awesome Orange tracksuit at all. Definitely not his Orange tracksuit.

He noticed a middle aged woman, who looked kind enough, he approached her and asked, "Excuse me Miss, could you help us find a bar?"

"A bar you say, aren't you young to go to bar? Or by bar do you mean the adventurers guild?" replied the woman with a smile like a mother would at her children.

"Um...Miss what is a guild exactly?" Naruto questioned, his body filling with uncertainty. Could a guild be some type of high class bar like the ones that Pervy Sage used to take him to?

"Oh… you don't know what a guild is? You must be new here then?" the polite lady asked both of them with a soft smile, a hand covering her mouth when she spoke. Naruto also noticed that she was looking strangely at him. He wanted to ask her but he kept his mouth shut.

"Yes. We're travellers and we came from a far away land. We just reached this town..." replied Aqua not knowing the name of the town even though she managed this world but this town was blessed under her fellow goddess Eris.

The women noticed her hesitance and continued, "Ara ara… Since you came to this town you must both be aiming to become an adventurers. Welcome to the town of novice adventurers, Axel. For your earlier question a guild is a place where most adventurers get their quest, earn some Eris." the woman stopped letting them take a moment to absorb the information.

"Follow the road and turn right. You'll notice the signboard for the guild." Finishing her speech the lady waved them and proceeded to do her own business.

"Thank you Miss." echoed the loud voice of Naruto through the streets, which was heard by most people on the street.

'Hmm… this town's name is Axel and is known for the novice adventurers… why was I brought here? I'm not a novice.' He glanced sideways at Aqua who was still mumbling some stupid things. 'Maybe it's her that is novice, not me.'


Adventurers Guild

The walk towards the guild building was slow. Naruto was looking all over the place to gain some more knowledge about this town.

Like the lady had said he could see it The Adventurers Guild. A place where adventurers takes job, an organisation that supported adventurers. The job agency of this world, like the Mission hall back in Konoha. He mentally hoped that there were no D-rank missions here, he had enough of them to last whole lifetime. The place was small compared to Hokage tower.

But it also had homey feel, which was plus point for the blond. It was rather a small establishment and had fragrance of different cuisines drifting from within. The unfamiliar aromas wafted through his nostrils from outside the building. If Chouji were here he'd have stomped into the building to eat without a second thought. Speaking of Chouji–he missed him. Heck he missed all of them. Sakura, Kakashi-sensei, Iruka-sensei, Pervy-Sage, Granny Tsunade, Team 10, Team 9 and Team 8 and Hinata.

'Hinata' the blonde thought, he looked down with hurt in his chest—water in his eyes. Thoughts of her weren't leaving his mind anytime soon. Oh God he didn't want to get depressed now. Not when he's entering the guild.

Naruto slapped his cheeks, shook his head a little and put a grin on his face to hide his depressing thoughts.

They both entered the guild. From the inside it was spacious, he observed there was a bar, a mission board, and an enquiry center. The people here were drinking, eating and enjoying themselves. In short it was rather a merry atmosphere for Naruto.

'I think… I'll like this place.'

"Ah welcome~ Please approach the counter if you're looking for jobs. If you're here to dine, please take one of the empty seats." The pair turned their heads to the owner of the voice. They were greeted by a red haired waitress who was smiling at them with warmth.

People started looking towards them. A frown marred on Naruto's face, 'Are they still looking at my whiskers?'... Before he could continue his inner tirade he was interrupted by the voice of his companion.

"Oh my! They are looking towards me. It must be the holy aura coming from me, they must've discovered that I'm a goddess." voiced the resident gullible goddess, who looked like a beauty if only she stayed quiet. And true to her words people were looking at her.

The walk towards the counter was slow. Naruto was taking in the sights before him, seeing their postures and mostly avoiding their gazes.

At the counter they were greeted by a lady. Naruto glanced at her; the way she moved, the way she smiled...It made his heart flutter. Shoulder length blonde hair, tied in a bun-like fashion. Warm golden eyes in which he can see a spark of intelligence, she was tall–taller than him. She had smooth milky skin, which drew down to a large bust which both of his teachers would approve of. He didn't want to look like he was ogling her, but the woman ahead of him was beautiful. She looked like a model, worthy of being on Icha-Icha cover.

Naruto shook his head, he shouldn't be having any indecent thoughts about the woman he just met; he didn't want to turn into Pervy-Sage.

"Good morning! I'm Luna, how may I help you?" The lady behind the counter (Luna) acknowledged. Naruto felt her eyes dart over his body, she was taking note of their clothing. It made him feel like he was being judged.

"We want to join this guild. We came from far away, and we are both adventurers and I didn't know anything so…"

Naruto knew that he couldn't tell her that he died and was transported to this world, if he told them that he was from another town or a faraway place he'll gain more information.

"I see. There will be registration fee. Will that be okay?"

'Registration fee' the blond took a step back, shook running through him at the new information. He turned to look towards his companion who also look flabbergasted.

"...Hey Aqua you have cash on you right?" The Jinchuuriki asked her because he didn't have any of his own. Even if he had any, the currency used in this world was different from the one in his world.

Naruto hoped that Aqua had some on her, because she was a deity and she can easily make money right?

Said bluenette shook her head negatively. "I was transported here all of a sudden, how would I have any money on me?"

"Sorry we don't have any money with us now. We'll come back to join later." Answered the blond in an honest tone and with that they both left the guild.


Appearing outside the guild Naruto looked furious, he was glaring towards towards Aqua who was besides him. She really was useless. If she said she was a god… shouldn't it be easy to make money appear? What kind of God didn't know how to do that? Naruto's opinion of her was pathetic at this point of time.

Aqua stared like a creep towards Naruto's chest or what was hidden inside the jacket. Discovering the gaze on him, he looked upon Aqua and instantly took a few steps back.

Naruto covered his chest, like a lady would cover her modesty.

Not taking his reaction towards her, she held a hand in front of him, who couldn't help but looked in confusion towards her and asked, "What?"

"The necklace...I know you've got one around your neck. One which we can sell and have more than enough to settle down. We could buy a mansion or two even," Aqua started to ramble, her thoughts drifting away into a fairy tale life where she was a princess.

Those were Naruto's observations, and from the goofy expression on her face he figured he wasn't too far from the mark Though her words had struck deep, it was faint but a fire had been lit.

"What?" Voiced out Naruto, his emotions going haywire. At this point anger was bubbling inside Naruto, she just told him to sell his necklace, one of the few memento from his world, the only thing which was given to him by Granny Tsunade. How could a goddess be cruel?

"Huh… didn't you hear me? I'm saying we should sell that necklace thingy. It will fetch us some money. From what I've seen in your world it'll bring us three mountains worth of money." uttered Aqua, who was in her own dreamland not knowing that her owner(?) was enraged at her.

"Why'd you bring up my necklace? Don't you know it's important to me? I won this in a bet against...Nevermind," Naruto trailed the expression on Aqua's face showed she wasn't understanding him. He didn't have it in him to argue anymore and turned off, his feet thrashing at the road.

Naruto could feel a stinging around his eyes, people were moving out of his way while his cheeks started to burn. The heat started to rise from his chest...

He wasn't that type of person to hold a grudge on someone for longer periods of time. Now that he's mind is cleared, he thought it wasn't Aqua's fault, she didn't know the gem was special to him.

Recalling that he had to earn some money for joining the guild he started to look for a job. In Konoha all he did was D-rank missions, so it will be easy to do the same chores. Earlier when walking towards the guild he remembered there was a construction work going on, by working till the end of the day both-He and Aqua-will be able join the guild.

As he got there, he could see that all of them were hard workers in their own right. Approaching the man who looked like their boss he introduced himself. "Hello mister, I'm Naruto Uzumaki! Do you need some help? I'm in need for some quick money because I'm an adventurer and having recently arrived in the town I've decided to join the guild."

"Sure you can help us lad. We needed a extra hand." Answered the man continuing his own work.

A grin appeared on his face. Taking a deep breath he gave a shout of motivation to others, "Let's work!" the boss ordered his men in gruff tone. The men's lips curled up, few were sporting a grin on their faces, while some were frowning looking at the teen wondering how a teen like him could be a help to them.

As the sun started to go west, the blond noticed that it was the end of the day. His hands were sore, his body tired. He felt like he was a genin fresh out of the academy again. He had done a lot of work today, earned some money-which people here call them Eris-now he can go back and join the guild.

Naruto still didn't know how to approach his companion, he wasn't sure where she was now, maybe she'll be still at the guild or somewhere around the town? He was hoping for the former because it will save his time to look for her.

Sprinting towards the guild he came to halt at the sight of its door. He caught a glimpse of blue hair just outside the building. He was nervous, not aware how to approach her. What if she was angry at him? What if she cursed him for all eternity? It was within her powers right?

"H-hey…" he started of with a bit of stutter. "I'm sorry for what happened earlier. It was rude of me to ignore you and run away earlier." trailed Naruto nervously scratching the back of his head.

"I forgive you. As a goddess I must take a pity on poor creature like you, though it might have been your first mistake. I'll let it slide this time." her tone reeked of superiority, she was looking down on him and the one thing he hates is being looked down or underestimated. Naruto didn't know what to do with this woman, she sometimes acted just like Sasuke and he hated that. "Look, look, look, I got some money for us to enter the guild."

Naruto was flabbergasted at hearing her say that, 'How?' was the first thought that entered his mind. He was confused, shellshocked at her bizarre statement, not knowing what to speak he questioned, "Where did you get the money?"

"I got it from a priest, who is follower of Axis faith, and he believed me when I told him I'm goddess Aqua." She lied to him while giving a charming smile, which could've fooled anybody but not him, because as stupid he may be he is a trained shinobi–apprenticed to Pervy Sage himself who was his village's spy master and taught him how to detect lies–so she couldn't fool him.

Not delving into more questions and her stupid answers they proceeded to enter the guild again with money this time.

"Oh my! You're back." Welcomed Luna with a warm visage, Naruto noticed that there weren't any people at the counter and hoped that it wasn't closed at this moment.

"So you've brought the required amount to join the guild I see… since you said that you want to be an adventurer, you should have some a basic level of understanding, but I will explain it from the start…" trailed the blonde looking in their eyes and noticing a confuse look on both of their faces.

"First of all, adventurers are responsible for extermination of monsters outside the town…" Naruto looked elated at the prospect of fighting some monsters, he could feel his blood rush, his heart thump. He motioned her to continue.

"People who get rid of dangerous creatures that might harm the citizens, they are also jack of all trades, taking on odd jobs that require their talents…" so far he noticed that these jobs looked like C-rank missions back home, instead of bandits there were monsters harming people.

"People who earn a living this way are collectively known as adventurers. And among adventurers there are different jobs." She handed each of them a card to fill. He took it from her and looked down to see that it resembled his Ninja-ID card.

"Please look over here, do you see the word level?" the blonde pointed out the word 'level' on the form, "As both of you know, all things in the world have souls. No matter what form it may takes, if you eat or kill a being you can absorb a part of the memory of their soul. This is known as 'Experience Points'."

Naruto's face grew pale at the thought of eating some monsters. Inside he was feeling disgusted, he may have eaten animals before but monsters… he had to think about that. He'll just kill them if they ever fought. Nodding his head at his ingenuity, he motioned her to continue.

"'Experience Points' are normally intangible things, but…" she then points toward another place on the card and continues "With this card, the 'Experience Points' the adventurer has absorbed would be shown here. At the same time the level corresponding to your 'Experience Points' would be displayed." She paused here to look over them to see if they are with her or not and was contented to see that the blond teen ahead of her was absorbing the information rather quickly.

"This show how strong an adventurer is, and how many enemies you defeat would be recorded here. With the accumulation of 'Experience Points', all creatures would grow stronger at rapid rate. This is also known as levelling up… simply put levelling up will grant you all kinds of perks, such as skill points to learn skills. So please work hard to increase your level."

Assimilating all the information, he reminisced the fact that some of his friends own games like this. Oh God! How stupid he was not to notice such obvious facts. He recalled playing them with Kiba, Chouji and Shikamaru, skipping classes, staying at his home and playing games. Those were some good times.

She continued "First of all, please fill in your height, weight, age and all other details in the blanks."

Having heard the blonde, Naruto filled all the details quickly, delighted at the anticipation that he was in some kind of game. He took a quick glance at Aqua to see her filling her card. He questioned himself 'What must be her age? Eh… Nevermind. It's not like I care or something.'

"That will be fine. Please touch this card; it will display the strength of each of your abilities as reference to choose your job. After accumulating some skill points, you can learn skills that are available to your jobs. This is one of the key points in choosing jobs."

She motioned them both to touch the cards. Naruto being a gentleman told Aqua to go first.

When Aqua touched the card the blonde lady in front of him widen her eyes at seeing Aqua's stats.

"Eh? Huh~! What is these with numbers? Besides lower than average intelligence." Naruto let out a snort at that, "and luck which is rock bottom, the rest of your stats are drastically exceeds the average! Especially your magical power, it's very high. Who in the world are you?" Whispered the still shellshocked lady.

Aqua puffed up her chest while displaying her holier-than-thou attitude. "Ah is that right? So it means I'm amazing? This is normal by my standard." She started to boast herself, there she goes again in her smug form. Seeing this Naruto then decided to do the same. As soon as he touched the card a bright golden light enveloped the card. All the guild mates were looking in anticipation at what will happen.

Luna was stunned again when she look into his card. All of his stats were above that of his companion, large magical core, high speed, high combat experience. "What are you? Your stats are out of this world. This is way past amazing..." She screamed not looking scared but a smile which showed her that she was satisfied with the result.

Murmurs started to grow, soon the place was in uproar. All the members of guild were circling around him.

"Maybe he's the one…"

"He can definitely defeat the Demon King…"

"Now we've not one but two Archwizards amongst us…"

"An interesting person indeed…"

Naruto heard the last bits of things and was bewildered at the name 'Archwizard'. Seeing all of their content visages, he let out a blissful smile. He was being accepted here… no more glares, no more forced smiles, no more ignorance. He joined in their celebration.

Maybe now he can be the Hero he always wanted to be.
