Chapter 3

"W-where are we?" panted Naruto. He and Luffy were standing in the middle of another small clearing in the forest, where both were hunched over, hands on their knees, breathing hard from their running. "I thought we were going to Foosha Village, remember?"

Luffy grinned. "I have no clue where we are!" he proclaimed shamelessly.

Naruto sweat dropped. "Does he have no shame, whatsoever?" Naruto stood up from his current position when he heard the bustling noises of a town, turning and seeing a small white speck near the ocean. "Could that be it?" he wondered.

"Hey, Luffy," he pointed to the small town in the distance. "Is that it?" Luffy turned around and beamed. He grabbed Naruto's hand (again) and started running as fast as he could. Naruto wasn't gonna move this time. Oh, no he wasn't. He wasn't about to be dragged for another mile. No, not him. But maybe Luffy... He stood stock-still, not moving an inch. Luffy paused to turn around and looked at his face, his eyes brimming with curiosity.

"Hey, Naruto-nii, why are we stopping?" he grew uneasy at the wild and slightly evil grin on his new 'brother's' face. "N-Naruto-nii?"

Naruto let go of Luffy's hand, charged chakra into his feet, and grabbed Luffy around the waist securely with both arms. Then, he leaped into the tallest tree he could find, which was a nearby redwood that was about 40 feet up. Luffy yelped and squirmed as Naruto started to jump from tree to tree. Naruto looked down and gave him a comforting, yet still with a twinge of evil humor, smile.

"It's faster this way. And you won't get so tired. Just tell me which direction to go." speechlessly, Luffy nodded his head.

Naruto landed with a small thump near the medium-sized well Luffy pointed out in the middle of yet another clearing of trees, this time pines. It was located quite close to the village, since most people got their water from there. He dropped Luffy off of him and, pointedly ignoring the small 'oof' that Luffy gave out, he strode over to the rim of the well and peered downward. Luffy also told him that it had rained the day before, which was probably why the well's water was so high he could see his reflection in it. He blinked owlishly at the image in the water. Staring up at him was a boy, NOT a young man around 15-16, but a boy who looked to be around 8 or 9 years old (Naruto IS younger than Nagato, after all.). The hair was a bright, almost yellow, blond, with some streaks of dark red outlining the spikes on his head. He looked back at Luffy, who was whistling a tune and pacing around, not looking in his direction. Turning back to the well, Naruto flashed his Rinnegan on and was pleasantly surprised at what he saw. His Rinnegan, instead of a light, lavender, purple, was red with black ripples instead, and his pupils were like Kyuubi's: slitted. They looked pretty cool, in his opinion. He smiled. Naruto would find a way to learn his awakened Uzumaki techniques later. He would also test out his jutsus. Naruto looked down at himself. Deciding to check if his seal was still there, he lifted his shirt. Yep, there it was, in all of its glory. A single spiral with some designs around it. Kurama was still with him (In this fanfic, Naruto is already friends with Kurama before the war, so he is on good terms with Kyuubi.). Then, he noticed what he hadn't before. Somehow, his clothes had changed, too. Probably the dimensional jutsu changing his clothes so he looked more like a native here. He was wearing a dark blue mid-sleeved shirt with dark red jean shorts which were rolled up like Luffy's. Thankfully, his necklace from Tsunade-baachan was still on him- it was a beautiful green chakra crystal with two silver beads on either side of it. All three pendants were strung onto a thin leather cord, which was currently wound around his neck. "Thanks, dimensional jutsu." he thought happily. He frowned slightly, though, when he found a new addition to his range of clothing: a black, threaded, leather cord around his right wrist. Was it a tracker of some sort? Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Luffy walking towards him. He turned to Luffy and said,

"Let's go. To Foosha Village!"

Makino, a barmaid with dark green hair and big brown eyes, wearing a yellow kerchief, and orange blouse with black sleeves and a light blue skirt with white-soled, orange sneakers, placed a plate filled with meat in front of Luffy, who was excitedly talking to his new friend, Naruto. The boy was blond with a blue shirt and red shorts like Luffy's. He wore a necklace with a green crystal and 2 beads and a threaded leather cord around his right wrist. He had easily hit it off with nearly everyone in the village, and he was very inspirational, too. Even their cranky Mayor, Wood Slap (Yes, the Mayor's name is literally 'Wood Slap'), listened to him. He would be a good addition to their large family. She leaned across the counter, getting his attention, and asked,

"So what would you like to eat, Naruto-kun?"

When he heard this, he replied almost immediately. "Do you have ramen, dattebayo?" Makino nodded, raising an eyebrow at the verbal tick but saying nothing and smiled kindly while gently putting a light blue bowl of miso ramen in front of him. She giggled as she watched Naruto take a huge sniff of the stuff before sucking it all up like a vacuum cleaner. Soon, it was gone. He grinned.

"BEST. RAMEN. BOWL. EVER!- Besides Ichiraku's." he muttered at the end, feeling a bit homesick. "Damn, but that ramen was GOOD! Did Makino make it herself?" He wondered. But before he could ask her, he heard a large commotion outside.
