Naruto: Magix Chronicles
Chapter 4: The Voice of Nature
Naruto is enjoying a nice nap on a tree while it's a nice day out today after he set up camp at the spot he found yesterday. He can hear the birds chirping as they fly in the sky. Being a sage, Naruto can knows how to connect to nature, it was all very peaceful to him. "Man, this so peaceful, I could relax here all day."
Unfortunately, wish not granted, the communicator Tsunade gave him began ringing. Naruto groaned because he is aware that this around the time for Tsunade to start nagging him again. He turned the communicator on and a hologram of Tsunade appeared.
"Hey, Grandma." Naruto greeted her.
"What is the status on your mission, Naruto?" Tsunade asked sternly. Naruto frowned when Tsunade immediately went to the point.
"Well, I have a lot to tell after last night." Naruto said.
"I'm listening." She said.
"Well, I managed to deliver the first message to the Alfea headmaster and she told me she'll inform the Red Fountain headmaster to allow me to enter around the evening while the other students are at their rooms." Naruto informed her. Tsunade looked satisfied by his answer.
"Excellent, but what about Cloud Tower?" Tsunade asked.
"Delivering the message to Cloud Tower might be tricky. They don't really give a house warming welcome to outsiders. I might have to be stealthy to deliver the message there." Naruto said. Then raised an eyebrow and decided to ask Tsunade something. "Say, Grandma, I have a question."
"What is it?"
"How come I have to deliver these scrolls in the first place? I mean, we know Orochimaru is here. Why can't we just make our move on him now and search for him?"
"Because the headmasters will be valuable allies to us." Tsunade said while drinking her tea. "You see, Naruto, the headmasters of the three schools, Faragonda, Saladin, and Griffin were members of an old peace keeping order called the Company of Light. Their knowledge about other worlds and their magical abilities will come useful in our battle against Orochimaru now that he has his own connections with magic." Naruto nodded.
"That does make sense, I guess." Naruto replied.
"Anyways, back to your mission." Tsunade said. "Have you found any information on Orochimaru's activities and who is new allies are?" Naruto nodded.
"Yeah, Orochimaru have found out a way to bring ninja back from the dead without using the Reanimation jutsu. I fought one of them last night, Kimimaro, but he got away." Naruto explained. Tsunade was shocked by this news. Clearly Orochimaru has begun some new experiments in order to build an army.
"Plus, it looks like Orochimaru has already gotten some allies to help him already. If you ask me, I think Orochimaru is trying to build an army." Naruto said. Tsunade began a thinking pose.
"Could be, I might have to send you're team much earlier than expected. Once you deliver the second scrolls to the Red Fountain School I will send you you're team over to help you deliver the last scroll to Cloud Tower. Afterwards, you will begin on your true mission and capture Orochimaru. Remember to keep me posted on yours or any of Orochimaru's activities." Tsunade explained. Naruto nodded and saluted.
"You got it, Grandma, you can count on me." Naruto said having a big grin on his face. Tsunade grew a smile of her own.
"I know you will. Good luck." She said before signing off. Naruto then got back up on his feet while still standing on the tree.
"Alright, since I'm suppose to deliver the message until the evening, some training good pass some time. So let's get started!" Naruto said excitedly. Then he heard his stomach growl. "But first, a little lunch break."
He then jumped towards the trees and into the deep forest.
Meanwhile to Bloom and the girls
Bloom and the girls were all in Safari attire and were all walking in the swamp outside of the outskirts of Alfea. They and their classmates were all part of an assignment by their nature professor to learn how to connect to nature and listen to it as well. To complete the assignment, they all need to meet up at a field outside of the swamp before sundown and they are forbidden to use their magic or else they fail the assignment.
They all began walking through the swamp and had to walk through with water and mud, much to their disgust.
"This place is totally disgusting!" Stella said.
"Whatever happened to, 'mud does such wonders for the skin'?" Musa quipped causing the others giggle. Tecna then noticed some bubble coming out of the water
"By the looks of these bubbles, I assume that were are standing on the back of a subterranean Sludge Slug, they're not friendly." Tecna said. "Not to worry, I'll take care of it." She was about to cast a spell but Bloom stopped her.
"Tecna, don't! We can't use our magic. We got to listen to nature." Bloom said. "Just use your senses." Stella then sniffed something in the air.
"Smells like old socks." Stella said. The other girls sniffed the smell too.
"It's some kind of gas! Take cover!" Musa said.
The girls quickly ran out of the swamp and hid behind a log. They then looked at the air bubbles that were coming out of the swamp.
"What is that stuff?" Stella asked. Bloom then picked a small stick with her right hand.
"Let's find out." Bloom said as she threw the stick at one of the air bubbles. "Get down, girls." The bubbles popped and released blue gas.
"That was close." Flora said. Tecna then looked to Bloom
"I guess my calculation were incorrect. You were right to stop me, Bloom. If I have finished my spell, the sparks of my spell would have blown us all into smithereens" Tecna said while feeling a bit down but Bloom cheered her up.
"Don't worry, Tecna. Everyone makes a mistake once in awhile." Bloom said.
"Yeah, otherwise we all would be barbequed by now." Stella said causing her friends to laugh.
Meanwhile in Cloud Tower
The Trix teleport them back to their room. They decided to skip their next class by sneaking away by turning themselves invisible without the teacher knowing. Icy then turned to see Kabuto standing against the wall with his usual smug smirk on his face.
"Kabuto? Haven't you ever heard of knocking?" Darcy asked rudely.
"Now, now, no need to be rude." Kabuto said waving his finger. "Also, shouldn't you be in class right now? I mean, what would be the point of you three to learn anything if all you're going to do is skip your classes?"
"We have much better thing to do than school work, Kabuto, and you know it." Icy claimed.
"Well, you don't seem to be doing a good job doing it. You and your lackey had numerous chances to get the Ring of Solaria, and they all failed." Kabuto said.
"Hey!" Icy said. "The last time we almost had it within in our hands, if only-"
"If only you didn't fall for those fairy's little prank after they replaced the ring with that." Kabuto said while pointing at a purple duckling clinging onto Icy's leg while calling her his 'mommy'.
It turns out the egg Flora sent had a spell on it. She replaced the enchanted egg with the egg of that purple duckling and sent that egg to Stella ring case after the Trix stole it. When they told Naruto about it, he found it to be hilarious.
Icy however wasn't happy. Since the duck looked at her first when he hatched, he now thinks Icy is it's mother, much to her dismay.
"Look, that guy Naruto and those loser fairies have gotten lucky so far, but I assure you the next time we will succeed." Icy said as she picked up the duck and threw it to a wall.
"Also tell us, why are you here other than to insult us?" Stormy demanded.
"I have a new assignment for you three." Kabuto said as he goes on. "You know that hunting troll that was with your ogre when he went to Earth? Well, I got word from one of my spies hiding out in Red Fountain that he his being sent to the city by a team of Specialists and taken in to the authorities."
"And we should care why?" Darcy asked.
"Think about it," Kabuto said. "Once they bring him in, they will interrogate him or have his mind read by a mind reading spell. If that were to happen, he could end up exposing all the secrets of our plans to the authorities and our plan to seize the ultimate power gone." Icy began thinking on what he was saying then looked back to her sisters.
"He could be right, if that troll tells the police about we are doing, we won't just get expelled, we could get sent to prison for being involved in this." Icy said to her sisters.
Stormy then looked to Kabuto. "So, four-eyes, what do you want us to do?"
Kabuto then took out a devise that shows them a holo-image of a Red Fountain ship. "The troll will be aboard on this ship with the team of Specialists around the afternoon. With the accompany of two of my agents, your mission is to capture the troll, destroy him and erase every part of his existence before anyone else finds him first."
Icy grew a smug smile on her face. "Sounds easy enough. This way no one will know our little secret."
At the Skies (Later)
Sky, Brandon, Timmy, and Riven were all up in the skies flying in a hover-jet with Riven piloting it, Sky and Brandon working the other controls. Inside their ship in a cage was the troll that Knut brought along when he came to Earth. Timmy then came back to the others.
"How's our prisoner going." Brandon asked.
"A little cranky, but he's behaving quite calmly" Timmy said.
In the sky, just above their ship, was a large white bird with a man on top of it. The man was wearing a black cloak with a straw hat. He open up his hand his hands and small white birds flew down and landed on the ship. An evil grin slowly came to his face, as he did a hand sign and the birds exploded.
The explosion caused the ship to shake. "What was that?" Timmy asked.
"Don't know, but it sounded like it came from outside." Brandon said.
"That's impossible!" Riven said. "If you knew how to fly this thing then you should know there is nothing picking up on the sensors." Then another explosion happened on the ships engine and it caused them to crash land into the swamp.
Meanwhile, Naruto was enjoying some fish he caught and cooked until he saw the Red Fountain ship going down with smoke coming out of it. Curious, Naruto took his last cooked fish as he jumped into the trees to check where the ship crashed.
Bloom and the girls were walking during their hike through the swamp until they saw the ship as well. They saw where the ship crashed and rushed right over where it landed. As they got over there, they see the boys getting up from the ground after they got out of the ship and the ship itself has a big hole on the top.
"Are you guys okay?" Flora asked.
"Of course, isn't it rather obvious." Riven said with a smirk. He then noticed Musa smiling and giggling at him.
"What Riven means to say is, we're fine." Sky said. "Anyways what are you girls doing out here?"
"We're on a field exercise for nature class." Bloom said. "But what about you guys, what are you doing out here." Brandon noticed the hole in the ship and footprints leading into the swamp.
"Oh, well. we were just transporting an important package to-" Sky was explaining until Brandon interrupted him.
"The troll got away!" Brandon exclaimed.
Not wanting to blow his identity, Sky addressed his friend by his name. "Prince Sky!"
"Wait, you guys were transporting a troll, and you let him escape?" Tecna asked while she and the girls panicked a bit.
"We didn't let anything escape. There was an accident, the ship malfunctioned." Riven explained.
"But not to worry," Sky assured the girls. "He's handcuffed in Addle Shackles, they work like tranquilizers. He shouldn't have gotten too far."
"Guys, look what I just found." Brandon said as he picked up the shackles. As they began to grow worried about the troll, they heard something rustling in the trees. The Specialist took out their phantom weapons to get ready what was coming, but instead they heard a familiar voice.
"Huh, what happened here?" said the voice, one that was familiar to the girls.
"Naruto? Is that you?" Flora asked. Then the blond whisker faced ninja jumped out of the trees, landed with grace and gave the girls and specialist a grin and a finger salute.
"Hi ya!"
"Naruto, hey." Bloom said and gave a sheepish wave.
"Hey there, Bloom, what are you all doing out here." Naruto asked. Stella then explained to the ninja about their assignment for their class. Sky then walked up to Naruto and extended his hand out to him.
"Hey, Naruto, it's been a while." The disguised prince said. Naruto shook his hand.
"Yeah, it has."
"So, what brings you out here, Naruto?" Timmy asked.
"Well, I was enjoying the scenery out here," Naruto said. "The nature out here is beautiful, not to mention I can feel the incredible energy that flows through it."
"Wait, you can feel nature?" Flora asked in surprise.
"Yeah, I can feel its energy everywhere; the ground, the sky, even the water. It's very relaxing." Naruto said before getting back on topic. "Anyways, as I was saying, I was in the area until I saw that fall from the sky." He pointed at the crashed jet.
Stella noticed Naruto was holding a stick with fish sticking out of it. "Naruto, what is with the fish on a stick you're holding?"
"Oh, this?" Naruto asked. Stella nodded. "This is lunch." He then took a bite out of it, although Stella was a bit disgusted. Naruto then noticed the hole in the ship. "So tell me, what broke out?"
"Well, we were transporting a troll to be turned into the authorities until we crashed." Brandon said.
"A troll?" Naruto asked curiously. Then Timmy walked up to him.
"You know, a troll, the same blue monster we fought back on Earth." Timmy explained.
"Oooh." Naruto said curiously.
"Yeah, so you girls get back to your little exercise, and you whiskers, go back wherever you came from and just leave this to the Specialists." Said an arrogant Riven as he pointed and addressed himself with an equally arrogant smirk on his face.
"So, tell me, when will the Specialist get here?" Naruto said with a smirk. Riven just growled.
"Oh, snap!" Musa laughed while Stella and Bloom giggled.
"What do you say, blonde?" Riven said in angered tone while pointing at young ninja.
"You heard me, tough guy." Naruto said in a stern tone. Timmy and Brandon were surprised by Naruto's action. Riven is one of the toughest guys in Red Fountain's sophomore class, and the ninja wasn't threatened at all by their teammate.
To make sure a fight doesn't break out, Brandon then stepped in. "What Riven means to say is that you girls should get back to your class, and Naruto, you should let us handle the troll. After all, bringing the troll in to the authorities is our mission which means it's our responsibility to get him back."
Naruto just shrugged. "I can respect that."
"But what if the troll runs into the other girls from our class?" Tecna asked all worried.
"Then stay out of our way and let us handle it" Riven said. "Come on guys, we're wasting time here."
As Brandon and Sky followed Riven, Timmy was about to follow but had to ask Naruto something after he talked back to Riven. "How did you do that, Naruto? Talking back at Riven like that and yet remain so calm."
Naruto just shrugged. "I've known a lot guys like that. Anyways, good luck finding the troll, and you and your teammates make sure to keep Riven out of trouble." Timmy snickered a bit.
"I don't know we can do something about that last one, but thanks, and see you later." Timmy said before trying to catch up with his teammates.
Naruto then turned to the girls after the Specialist left. "So, what are you girls gonna do?"
"We don't know really, maybe we should help out." Bloom said.
"After that crummy 'tude Riven gave us?" Stella asked.
"Yeah, he was rude and clearly did not want our help. I think we should get back on our assignment and let Riven deal with the troll." Flora said.
Stella turned to Bloom. "Flora's right, Bloom. If Riven want to get eaten then I say bon appetite, right? " Stella said jokingly.
"That's not what I mean to say, Stella." Flora said.
"Something strange is going on here, did you guys notice the hole?" Tecna asked getting their attention. "Especially the burn marks on the outside of the ship."
Naruto got a look at the hole when he got closer to the ship. "Tecna's right, the hole was caused by someone from outside of the ship. Someone helped that troll escape, first they attacked the ship and caused it to crash, then they create that hole in the ship to help it escape."
"If so, then we should probably investigate." Flora said.
"Wait, you mean investigate, in there?" Stella said a little fearful.
"Come on, Stella! Where's your sense of adventure?" Naruto said cheerfully. The girls were surprised how ecstatic he is. "How does this sound; since we all know about that troll roaming around the swamp, why don't I tag along and help you girls investigate."
"Really?" said Bloom now all ecstatic herself.
"Yeah, after all you girls can't use your powers or else you fail your assignment, you might need someone to protect you." Naruto said. "Now then, before we start, are there any questions." Musa raised her hand.
"Yes, Musa?"
"Do you even know where the troll could be?"
Naruto did a thinking pose. "I…have a general idea where he might be heading. But we got to start somewhere, right?"
"Alright! Let's get moving." Bloom said.
As they began walking, Bloom noticed something about the troll's footprints. The more she looked the next one while walking, the footprints are getting less deep in the mud as they go on until further ahead there were no footprints to be left behind.
"Guys, take a look at the troll's footprints." Bloom said. "They are getting less deep in the swamp."
"So, what could this mean?" Stella asked.
"It means the troll is getting lighter for each step he makes." Naruto explained. "That is why the footprints are getting less deep in the mud as they go."
"Well, why are there no foot prints once they entered the swamp?" Musa asked.
"This looks like the work of a anti-gravitational spell." Tecna said. Everyone then turned to her. "Someone cast it on him so he walk above ground so there will be no footprints left behind. This could also be a problem, if there are no footprints to follow, how are going to track him down."
"Then our only option is to listen to the voice of nature to track him." Bloom suggested.
"That's right, our assignment is suppose to listen to the voice of nature, maybe our senses to it can help us?" Flora said.
Naruto smiled. Glad to hear even in the magic dimension, there are people who are able to sense nature like he and Jiraya could. Naruto then decide to put his Senjutsu training to the test and decided to sense it without going into Sage Mode. Naruto closed his eyes and try to sense him. When he did, he actually felt something, he can't explain it but he got a feeling that he knows where to go.
Naruto pointed in the direction in front of them towards the swamp. "He's that way." He said.
"How are you so sure?" Tecna asked in a curious tone.
"My senses are telling that is the right path." Naruto said smiling. "I just know it."
"He might be right, girls, I feel that might be the right path too." Bloom agreed. Flora also nodded which means she agrees too. Musa and Stella both nodded to take their word for it, but Tecna was still uncertain. Since Tecna is from a highly advanced technology based world, she is not used to being around nature.
"Alright, follow me." Naruto said in an excited tone. Soon the girls soon followed Naruto through the swamp. They can tell, Naruto has much more experience being in nature, so it's probably a good move for him to lead the way.
A few minutes during their walk through the swamp, Naruto, Bloom, and Flora were all feeling that the feeling nature is giving them to find the troll is getting stronger. Stella was not enjoying their trip through the swamp because it is full of the things she can't stand; mud, bugs and all kinds of swamp creatures.
"AAAHHH, it is official, I can't stand nature!" Stella yelled in frustration while scraping mud off her arms and cloths.
"Chill, Stella, its nature out here, you know. Someone is bound to get dirty once in a while." Musa said while shaking her head.
"Yeah, and trust me you'll get use it." Naruto said. He then noticed the gaze Flora has been giving him. He could tell, she is curious about something. "Flora, is there something on your mind?" he asked the fairy of nature. The others also turned to Flora when she was about to give her answer.
"Yes. Naruto, you said that you have the ability to feel nature's energy. How are you able to do that?" Flora asked. That got the other girls curious too about Naruto's ability.
"Indeed, you must have received some kind of training in order to do that, care to explain?" Tecna asked.
Naruto sighed. "Alright, but you need to promise not tell anyone." He requested. The other girls nodded.
"Don't worry, we promise." Bloom said.
"Okay, much as you're going to find hard to believe but, I'm actually human from Earth." Naruto said. This got the girls shocked about this.
"Wait, you're human?" Stella asked. Naruto nodded. Ms. Faragonda did not tell her that Naruto was a human from Earth when she was assigned to meet him on Earth.
"Well, I'm actually a human from a different version of Earth and my people have powers just like you." Naruto said which shocked them even more.
"That does explain you're abilities and why we never seen anything like them before." Flora said. The she wanted to get back on topic. "But what about your ability to sense nature?"
"I was getting to that," Naruto said. "You see in my dimension on my Earth, my people and I are a group warriors with ability to manipulate a inner energy called chakra. Chakra is the combination of physical energy and spiritual energy, and it is life force of every living thing in my dimension, and we have the ability to change it to allow us to perform our own version of spells called jutsu."
"It sounds like your ability to manipulate chakra is very similar to our ability to use spells by using our magical energy." Tecna said while imputing new data on chakra into her database. Naruto nodded.
"Please go on, Naruto." Flora said.
"Right, now where was I?" Naruto asked while thinking.
"You were talking about how you can sense nature." Bloom answered.
"Oh, right." Naruto said as they jumped over a big log and the ninja helping Bloom jump down from it and went on walking through the forest. "As I was saying, I learned a unique kind of ninja art called Senjutsu. Senjutsu is the art of drawing in natural energy and mixing it in with your chakra. Once you do, you enter an empowered state called Sage Mode which dramatically increases the power of ones jutsu, strength, speed, stamina, durability, and perception." He explained.
The girls were very shocked by what Naruto told them. The one who is the most shocked about this was Flora. She is the fairy of nature and not even she has heard about these abilities Naruto possesses. Naruto chuckled a bit. "You're all surprised, I can tell." he said.
"Have you ever used it before?" Stella asked.
"I have, only when I face a really powerful foe." Naruto said. "You'd be surprised on how many powerful warriors there are in my world."
Flora began a think pose while they were walking and had to ask Naruto something. "Naruto, I'm wondering, do you think you could teach me Senjutsu?" she asked the ninja with a great amount of hope in her voice. She assumed her powers might get stronger and closer to nature like Naruto if she can learn how to use it.
Naruto blinked a few times because he wasn't expecting that question. "Um…well…Flora, to tell you the truth, I don't know if I can teach you how to use it. Senjutsu is very hard to master and it can be very dangerous if used incorrectly." He replied to Flora.
"Oh, I see." Flora said a little disappointed but then got her smile back to assure him she wasn't upset. "Do you think you can, I don't know, show me it sometime?"
Naruto smiled back. "Who knows, you might see me using when the situation calls real soon." They then continued walking and some part of the forest with brown plants with venus flytrap heads. Flora then stopped them for a second.
"Stop, I recognized these plants." Flora said. "They're called quietus carnivorous, they hates noise, so it is best that we stay quiet while we're near them." They then heard a yell for help not far where they are.
"Stella, was that you?" Musa asked. The blond princess shook her head.
"That wasn't me." She said. They then heard it again and went straight ahead to the source of the voice they heard.
Elsewhere in the forest.
"HELP!" Timmy yelled out. He, Riven, Sky and Brandon are all being hung in the air by vines from the quietus carnivorous plant.
"Man, it's gonna be embarrassing if someone finds us like this." Brandon said. They then heard some rustling in the forest and out of it came Naruto and the girls. Seeing the position the guys are in caused Naruto to snicker a bit.
"Having a little problem up there." Naruto joked. Unknown to him, some vines began moving and grabbed his ankles. When Naruto felt it, he looked down, and the vines lifted him and held him up upside down. Naruto crossed his arm while pouting.
"Okay, I probably should have seen this coming." Naruto said. Bloom giggled at this. The Specialist were snickering about his situation right now. Naruto turned to them. "Not one word."
"Anyways," Riven said to the girls after enjoying a laugh out of Naruto's expense. "You girls get out of here, these vines belong to some deadly, blood-thirsty, man-eating monster plants." He said while the vines squeezed him tighter.
"They only hate loud-mouths, so you better keep it down." Musa said to the stubborn Specialist.
"I probably should have followed that advice a little sooner, huh? " Naruto said. The girls giggled a bit. Then he turned to Flora while hanging upside down. "Hey, Flora, you mind telling these plants to let us down before all the blood rushes to my head."
Flora nodded and went over to the vines. "Everything is okay, little plants. You can relax now." Then vines let Naruto and the Specialists go. Then the gang all quickly walked out of the forest.
As they were walking, Sky looked at Bloom and gulped a bit. It was a little obvious to his teammates that he had a little crush on Bloom but was a little uncertain after he saw her dance with Naruto at the dance. Bloom noticed Sky looking a bit down.
"Is there something wrong, Brandon?" Bloom asked still not knowing the princes name switch with his squire.
Sky looked at her like nothing was wrong and gave her smile. "No, I'm fine. It's just, good to see you again, Bloom." He said nervously while grasping her hand. Bloom looked at their joined hands and blush. The fairy and specialist let go with both of them blushing while Sky was holding her hand. Then a voice caught them by surprise.
"Say, why are we whispering?" Bloom and Sky nearly jumped when they saw the voice behind them was a grinning Naruto with hands behind his head.
Bloom walked up and gave the ninja a playful slap on the arm. "Naruto, don't do that." She said while passing Naruto, who just shrugged at his own antics. Sky then walked up to him.
"Are you always this sneaky?" the prince asked. Naruto gave him a smirk.
"Would you believe me that I always had a mischievous side?" Naruto said. As Naruto walked ahead, Sky just smiled and shook his head.
"I think we should all look for the troll together from now on, safety in numbers after all." Bloom said. Naruto, the girls and Specialists agreed before they continued their search. Timmy then walked up to Naruto while they were walking.
"Naruto, hope you don't mind me asking, but which realm do you come from." Timmy asked. Naruto sighed.
"Sorry, but, I can't really tell. It's kind of personal." He said. Bloom was a little surprised. Naruto told them but won't tell the boys. She figured it must because of that mission of his, and might be because he doesn't trust the Red Fountain boys fully.
"But what I can tell you guys is this; there is someone from my home world who shouldn't be here and he is up to something big." Naruto said in a stern tone. "My mission is to find out what he's up to, and put a stop to him."
The Specialist eyes were widened, even Riven. Naruto is the same age as they are, and yet he already has a big assignment in his hands. They still had to wonder, where he came from and what are his skills.
They soon made it out of the forest and made it to a large river with circular wood stumps floating on top. The river had a big gap between them and the other side of land. Naruto could just use his chakra manipulation to walk on the water, but he doesn't want to risk showing his powers to the Specialists so soon. Despite showing some of his skills and his mission already to the girls already, he is still on a secret mission and doesn't want to reveal more secrets of his world.
They then decide to use the floating stumps on the water as stepping-stones to make it across the river. For Naruto, it is relatively easy since it's similar how he jumped from tree branch to tree branch back in his world. The stumps were a little wobbly to stand on but they were able to keep their balance on them. They also had to be careful while they are jumping. If they stay on the stumps too long, they might fall off. The stumps also move by the current, so they need good timing when they needed to jump to the next one. The one thing they really needed to watch out for were the small whirlpools that are in the river.
Stella almost fell off of the stump she jumped on but Brandon managed to catch her in his arms before she fell in the water. "Oh, thank you." She said while blushing.
The gang kept on hopping on the stumps, as they were getting closer to the other side of the river. Riven tried to hop on the next stump in front of him, but he missed and fell in the water. He was then being pulled in by a whirlpool. Tecna then grabbed his hands and tried to pull him out of the current but it was starting to pull her in too. As the others made it across, they were seeing what was happening and were in shock.
Naruto knew he had the power to save them, but that could cause him to reveal his powers to the young Specialists. Naruto knew that they seem trustworthy but he still had to follow Tsunade's orders to stay undercover. So he had to make a decision; help use ninja arts to save his new friends, or follow Tsunade's orders and not use them. Naruto decided to do what he always do, save his friends when they are in need.
He then jumped in and began hopping on the stumps at lightning speed. When he reached the whirlpool, he used his chakra to stand on the water, picked Tecna and Riven out of the water and hopped back to the other side where the others are. After Naruto got back up on his feet, everyone looked at him with widened eyes. Naruto's reply to their reaction was…
"What?"
"Naruto, you were just able to stand on top of water, how did you do that?" Sky asked.
Naruto sighed. "Okay, look, I'll explain on the way."
Naruto began telling the specialist about his and his peoples abilities to manipulate their chakra and had to explain what chakra is. He explained to them by concentrating his chakra into his feet he was able to walk on water, trees and walls just by using the right amount. He also explained jutsu to them as well, as well as the three forms of jutsu, Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and Taijutsu. Both Timmy and Tecna were both recording more about the abilities of Naruto's people.
"Okay, to make sure we are on the same page, you are basically a ninja trained in some kind of combination of martial arts and magic training." Brandon said. Naruto nodded
"In a way, yes." Naruto said. Sky put his hand on Naruto's shoulder while having a smirk on his face.
"I have to say, Naruto, you're full of surprises, aren't you?" he said. Naruto smirked back.
"I get that a lot." The ninja replied.
As the group continues walking, they heard a roar and some girls screaming for help. "You guys heard that?" Naruto said.
When they heard it again, Bloom recognized one of the girl's voices. "That's Amaryl!"
They rushed in where the voice came from and looked behind a bush to Amaryl and her friends backed into a corner by the troll.
"They're they are!" Musa referred to the girls. Riven looked over at the troll.
"And there's the troll that got away." Riven said while pointing at him. Naruto looked over at the troll.
"Hey, isn't that the same troll that attacked us while we were on Earth?" Naruto asked the others. Bloom looked at it too.
"It is. It's the same troll that was working for Knut. We have to save those girls before it is too late." Bloom said.
"Don't worry, I have a plan." Brandon said. He then looked over to Naruto. "Naruto, you distract the troll. While you are doing that, Brandon (Sky) and Timmy while pin him down while Riven and I put the shackles on him." The ninja nodded.
"You can count on me." Naruto said excitingly. Brandon looked at Bloom and the girls.
"In the meantime, since you can't use your powers to defend yourselves, you girls get those other girls out of the fight." He explained. The fairies nodded.
"No problem." Stella said all cheery.
While the others hid behind the bushes waiting for the ambush, Naruto then jumped into the trees and was jumping across them until he got behind the troll. "Hey, big tall and ugly, remember me?" he said getting the troll's attention.
The troll turned, see's Naruto and tried to attack him with his massive fists but Naruto leaped over him and dodged. The monster turned again but the same thing happened. Naruto was too fast for him. Bloom and the girls help get Amayl and her friends out of there while the Specialists wait for their move.
"What? No hello? No hi-fives? I am shocked, shocked I tell you." Naruto said in mocked hurt tone.
The troll tried to attack Naruto again, but Sky and Timmy grabbed his legs and pinned him to the ground. Brandon and Riven held on to its arms to hold it down. Riven tried to slip the shackles on the troll, but it quickly broke free from their grip and sent the boys flying. The troll tried to get away, but Naruto quickly jumped high and gave the troll a bombing double kick. Naruto then did a cross hand sign.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Then four duplicates appear out of smoke and held down on the troll's legs. The others were awed by Naruto's ability to duplicate himself. They still wonder what other tricks does he have up his sleeves. Naruto then turned to Riven.
"What are you waiting for, Riven? Put the shackles on him, quick!" he called out to the fuchsia haired specialists. Riven quickly nodded and ran toward the troll and Naruto.
Then out of nowhere, a barrage of needles hit Naruto's clone and they vanished. Some of them were heading towards the original but Naruto blocked them with arms before they hit any vital spots on his chests. Then someone in a black cloak jumped out a tree and gave Naruto a flying kick. The blow caused Naruto to hit the ground and skid a little.
"Naruto!" Bloom said.
Naruto then got up and got a good look at this person. His attacker is wearing black long-sleeved shirt and pants with a dark blue haori with white trimmings. The ninja had long black hair tied in a long ponytail with his long bangs tied with metal cuffs at the end. The most unique trait was his mask. His mask was white with a blue patterned wave on it. The mask also had to curved eyeholes on it. Finally on top of the mask was the Japanese kanji for ice.
Riven then stepped forward to this masked person. "Alright, buddy, I don't know who you are, but you're soon gonna wish that you haven't got in the way."
Riven then took out his phantom-blade saber and charged at the masked person, but he managed to dodged the Specialists barrage of attacks at lightning speed. While Riven was dazed by his speed, the masked man appeared behind him without the Specialist knowing. When Riven turned the masked man gave him a hard kick in the gut, sending Riven right into a tree.
Naruto then took out two kunai knives and began his attack on this new foe. The masked ninja took out sword from the cover tied to his back and began clashing with Naruto. They seem to be even and as they were clashing, Naruto wanted some answers from him.
"You're a ninja, aren't you?" the blond said. "Who are you?"
"I am sorry, but I can't tell you that." That masked ninja said in a calm and gentle voice. Naruto felt a familiar vibe from his voice, like he has seen him somewhere before.
The two shinobi backed away from each other in readied fighting stances. Timmy took out his laser gun and started blasting at the masked ninja, but the ninja then suddenly disappeared without a trace. Sky, Brandon and Timmy formed a group circle to look at all surroundings. Sky turned his back and finds the masked ninja in center of their circle. The ninja put his sword back in its holder, jumped, and did a spinning kick at them.
Naruto then threw some shuriken at the ninja, but he took out his sword, twirled it, and deflected the shuriken. He then ran towards Naruto and picked up the Addle Shackles that Riven dropped as he kept charging. Naruto charged at him too. As he tried to punch him, the ninja leaped overhead, and handcuffed Naruto with the Addle Shackles. While the specialists were down and Naruto unable to move, he escaped at lightning speed.
The Specialists got back up on their feet and look to see that masked ninja and the troll both got away. Sky walked over to Naruto, who is unable to move thanks to the shackles. Naruto was a bit annoyed about it though.
"Why can't I move?" Naruto asked the prince.
"It's the Addle Shackles. They work like tranquilizers." Sky said.
"Fascinating." Naruto said sarcastically. "Can you please help take these off?"
Sky nodded, helped take the shackles off of Naruto's wrists, and extended his hand to help Naruto get up, which he took. Sky still had to ask Naruto some questions about what just happened. "Naruto, any idea who that guy was?" Naruto put his finger on his chin and began to think.
"I don't know, but I can tell he is from my world." Naruto stated, this got the others attention.
"How can you tell?" Sky asked. Naruto then took out the needles that ninja threw at him.
"He used these." Naruto said. "They're called Senbon, they're throwing needles used by the ninja in my world. Plus we wore one the masks of the elite ninja tracking squad, the ANBU Black Ops."
"So that guy was a ninja?" Brandon asked, Naruto nodded.
"How did he get past our defenses so fast?" Timmy asked after remembering what that ninja did after they formed a circle to observe the whole area.
"He used Silent Killing, an advanced technique that allows a ninja to get past an enemies defense without making a single sound." Naruto said. "Who ever that guy is, he's dangerous." He said while pulled out more needles out of his arms.
Their discussion would have gone further until the girls showed up. Bloom the walked up to Naruto with a concern look. "Are you guys okay?"
"We're fine." Naruto assured her. "I can tell that guy wasn't fighting serious, so we didn't get too badly hurt."
"Why would he hold back?" Riven asked. Brandon began to think about it.
"He was probably stalling time for the troll escape." He suggested.
"You think he might be the reason your ship crashed?" Flora asked. Riven waved his hand at that.
"What do you mean by that? The ship just malfunctioned." Riven said. Tecna shook her head.
"No, it was sabotage. Someone attacked your ship from the outside to take you guys down and help the troll escape." Tecna said. This shocked the Specialists.
That is when Amaryl and her friends came in and walked up to the Specialists. "I thought you guys went to school for bravery not botchery." Amaryl said to them before she and her friends while laughing at them.
"That's the thanks we get?" Brandon said while keeping that smile of his.
Meanwhile with the troll.
The troll began walking through the forest. He then sniffed something in the air, looked up and saw a large white bird in the air with an aroma coming off of it. The troll soon followed the bird with the smell it liked.
Meanwhile with Naruto, the girls and the Specialists.
Sky was sitting on a log looking down while Brandon and Riven were arguing while Timmy tried to break up the fight. Naruto and Bloom noticed Sky looking depressed and decided to help him.
"Hey, Brandon." Bloom said to the prince. "Everything alright?"
"Not really, Bloom." He said still feeling down. "I just can't believe how bad this mission went."
"You're still upset on what those girls said?" Bloom asked. "Don't let them get to you, you guys were very brave."
"It's not just that." Sky said. Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"Then what is getting you down?" the ninja asked.
Sky sighed "Well, we're not real Specialist yet, we're still a bunch of rookies from the sophomore class. Plus this was our first real mission and we messed it up."
"Well, at least you tried to save those ungrateful girls, and stayed and fight. It's better than just standing around and do nothing." Naruto said with assuring smile. Sky smiled back.
"Thanks, Naruto. But our teamwork still needs work." Sky said while still feeling down. "I think the only thing we really do well together as a team, is argue."
"So what? Arguing is normal for teammates." Naruto said. "In my world, I was part of a team too, and I had a couple of teammates I didn't get along with either, but we worked it out in the end. Teams take time to cooperate, and once that happens, things will turn around sooner or later." Hearing that both made Bloom and Sky smile.
Sky is a little jealous that Naruto is more closer to Bloom than he is, but he can respect him because it is clear he has more experience than he does. Plus, Naruto is a really good guy and it doesn't look like he is not the person to take advantage of Bloom or her friends.
The three of them walked over to the others, and Sky was a little surprised to see that Brandon and Riven shaking hands. Timmy must have calmed them down. They then walked up to them.
"Everything worked out now?" Sky asked.
"Yeah." Riven said in a calm tone.
"Riven decided to call a truce." Brandon said. Sky then turned to Naruto while both of them were smiling.
"Well, I guess our progress as a team is off to a better start, wouldn't you say, Naruto?" Sky asked.
"Truth be told, I usually prefer an ever-lasting peace, but a truce is still good." Naruto said. Bloom and Sky laughed at this.
The gang all resume their search for the troll and that masked ninja that helped him escape.
Meanwhile somewhere in the swamp.
The Trix and Kabuto were all waiting for the troll to arrive. While they were waiting the masked ninja suddenly appeared next to Kabuto and a large white bird slowly came down towards them. On top of it was the man that rode on it before.
"Took you long enough, hot stuff." Icy said to the man. The man smirked. Then he took off his hat and revealed to be Deidara.
Deidara looked the same as he did before except with new cloths. He was now wearing a dark blue kimono jacket with a fishnet shirt underneath, black pants, black combat boots. He also had his Akatsuki headband around his forehead.
Deidara then turned to Kabuto. "The troll is heading this way, Kabuto."
"Great, all according to plan." Kabuto said with devious smirk. Icy then went over him resting her arm on his shoulder.
"I have to say, Kabuto, for a pain in the neck, you sure know how to make a great plan." She said. "First have Deidara blow up those Red Fountain dorks ship to crash and blow up a hole for it to escape. Then have me cast that anti-gravity spell so he wouldn't leave any foot prints to follow."
"Not mention using the troll's sense of smell to lure the big lug here." Deidara said while holding a bottle that was releasing the smell the troll is following.
"When will he show up?" Stormy asked impatiently.
"He should be right about…" Deidara was saying until they saw the troll coming to them. "…now."
"Perfect, right on time." Icy said. Then her eyes widened when she heard something calling her mommy. "What?"
She looked down to see it was the same duckling that has been following her. "You again?" Deidara began to snicker a bit.
"Friend of yours, Icy?" he teased.
"Hardly." Icy said as she froze the duck solid while it was still hoping towards her. Then they saw the troll coming towards them. Deidara then closed the bottle. Kabuto walked up to the troll while having his chakra scalpel jutsu behind his back
"Glad that you made it, big guys, but there is just one thing we need to care of." Kabuto said having the troll raising it's eyebrow towards the ninja. "You see, you were heading to the city of Magix to be interrogated, but we can't let our secrets to be exposed, so we are left with no choice but to eliminate you."
The Trolls eyes widened and was about to strike Kabuto, but Kabuto thrust his chakra scalpel on the troll's chest and the troll instantly hit the ground. The Trix to see the troll was not getting up.
"What did you do to him?" Darcy asked.
"I stopped his heart by hitting his chest cavity." Kabuto said. "Now quick, get rid of him before someone finds us."
Icy nodded, then she and her sisters from a group triangle and used their magic to make the troll's body disappear with out a trace. Then the Trix used their magic to teleport themselves, Kabuto, Deidara, and the masked ninja out of the swamp.
Somewhere else in the swamp.
Naruto, the girls and the Specialist continue walking through the swamp trying to find the troll. Naruto, Bloom and Flora were the ones leading them to where the troll might be. Since they are the only ones in the group that is most connected to nature, they can feel it much better than the others can. They finally made it to the area the Trix and Kabuto were and stopped there.
"What is it?" Riven asked. "Why did you stop?"
"The feeling ends here." Bloom said. This confused the others.
"Then where's the troll?" Brandon asked.
"It's gone. This where the troll's presence ends, and I can't sense him anywhere else." Naruto said.
"Naruto's right, I can't sense him either. But I do feel something around here, something cold." Bloom said.
Stella was beginning to get it too. "I sense something too. There is a lot negative energy in the air around here."
"I can feel it too." Tecna said. "I assume someone else was here casted a spell on the troll to make him vanish."
"So someone got to the troll first and casted a spell to make him disappear." Naruto guessed. Tecna nodded to confirm.
"I assume that whoever made the troll disappear must also be the one who attacked the ship and had that mercenary to help the troll escape." Tecna said.
"Makes sense, but who?" Timmy said. Naruto also began to think who could be behind it.
'Say, Kurama, you think this could be Orochimaru's doing?' Naruto said. Kurama grunted in agreement.
"Most likely. After all the troll worked for those three witches, the Trix, and they are currently siding with Orochimaru. This must have been a basic ANBU retrieval attempt. First capturing the troll, then erasing every part of his existence so no evidence to be left behind." Kurama explained. Naruto mentally nodded.
'Of course, Kabuto was part of Hidden Leafs ANBU Root Foundation. He must have planned the whole thing.' Naruto said. Kurama nodded.
"Yes, to make sure his and Orochimaru's activities remain hidden." Kurama said.
Musa then looked around and found something in the mud. When she picked up, they were little purple feathers. She then showed them to the others. "Yo, guys, look. Do these feathers look familiar?"
Tecna then got a good look at them. "Those look like duck feathers."
"Wait, don't we know someone who is currently being stalked by a duck because of a spell we put on her." Bloom said.
"Icy." Musa confirmed.
"So the Trix were involved in this, but why?" Flora asked.
"Isn't it obvious." Naruto said which got their attention. "We are asking questions that they don't want to be answered."
Sometime later at Red Fountain
The Specialist flew their now repaired jet to where the rest of the girls class is and dropped Bloom and her friends there. Naruto decided to come with the Specialist back to Red Fountain. He still has his mission to do.
After they made it to Red Fountain, Sky helped Naruto to Saladin's office so he can have a talk with him. After he did, Sky and his team were all punished and had to clean the ship and the stables for failing their mission escorting the troll. Though, despite the punishment they got and for failing the mission, they felt like they grown more together as a team.
At Saladin's office, Naruto was talking to the headmaster after he gave the old wizard the scroll. Saladin was shocked by this news. He never thought something this serious could happen after the magic dimension have been at peace for a while.
"This very troubling news, Naruto, but I am more than willing to help this new threat." Saladin said. Naruto smiled to that and nodded.
"Thank you, Saladin." Naruto said. "Do you also think both you and Faragonda could remove the seal that separates my world with the magic dimension? From what I've learned, you and the others from the Company of Light sealed my world off to come here again after First Hokage came in to help you guys with kind of battle."
Saladin nodded. "Yes, the reason for that is because this isn't the first time a criminal from your world came in here to cause trouble. This enemy was so powerful that we couldn't defeat him alone. So we called upon the strongest warrior from your Earth to help us defeat him, and we got the first leader of your village during his prime, Hashirama Senju. After we won, Hashirama saw that it was best that we sealed the gateway from your world to ours so something like this would never happen again, until now anyway."
Naruto was shocked about Saladin's story, but still had to ask him something. "The ninja who came in to cause trouble from before, I want to know his name." he said in a serious tone.
Saladin's face also turned serious. "I'm sure you might be aware by now, his name was, Madara, Madara Uchiha."
Naruto and Kurama were greatly shocked about this. Not only Hashirama was here but Madara too. They never would have thought Madara was capable of traveling to other worlds. Then again Madara is a very crafty man and has been alive for long time before the war. They still wonder why Madara would come to the magic dimension.
"As for your question, Naruto, with the help of Mistress Faragonda, the two of us will be able to undo the seal and allow your world to have access to the magic dimension. " Naruto smiled.
"Thanks, Saladin, we really appreciates this." Naruto said before he headed to the door. As he was about to leave, he stopped when Saladin called out his name.
"Good luck delivering the last scroll to Cloud Tower, and remember to be careful of Orochimaru and his forces. I fear that this is only just the beginning." He said. Naruto nodded and left the building.
Orochimaru's Hideout
Kabuto began doing some more work for Orochimaru's research. He was looking over the notes they scavenged from Madara's old hideout, until a portal opened up and out came Orochimaru with five other hooded people with him. Kabuto immediately walked up to Orochimaru and kneeled on one knee to him.
"Lord Orochimaru, you have returned." Kabuto said in a calm tone.
"Yes, preparation back at our realm is in place. I hope that are newest revived warriors are ready as well." Orochimaru said. Kabuto then stood back up.
"Yes, everything is running smoothly, except that I feel the Trix might be incapable for carrying out our plans. They are over-confident, ignorant, we can carry out our plans much smoother without them." Kabuto said.
"We need those three to keep ourselves hidden while we continue our plans." A mysterious voice said which revealed to be Black Zetsu, only this time he in a much more evolved form. His black half body is now on both sides of his body and there were no green roots coming out of him. Covering his bare body was a long black cloak with sleeves.
"I must say it was very handy of you to leave another Black Zetsu behind when you were in the magic dimension, Lord Madara." Orochimaru said.
"Just remember, I was the one who helped you get here after studying the spells here. You want the knowledge you seek about the magic dimension along with a place in my plans, then remember who helped you and your not the only one in charge of our operation." Madara/ Black Zetsu said.
"In all due respects, Lord Madara, you should take your own advice." Orochimaru said in his smug tone. "You and I are equals in this game since you are not at your fullest strength yet. And in your current form, you're are very aware I can destroy you with ease." Madara/Black Zetsu growled, hesitated to attack but didn't and calmed down.
"Now then, let's discuss a new plan to achieve in retrieving the greatest power of all the known realms. The Dragons Fire shall soon be ours." Madara/Black Zetsu said.
The End.
That is right, Madara Uchiha has returned. I'm sure in the manga that Black Zetsu gets destroyed during the Fourth Great Ninja War, so Madara created another one and sent it to Magix. Unlike the original, it contains Madara's conscious and mind.
