Happily Eragon and Naruto continued chatting, however they were also both also trying to work the other out. I mean it's not usual that strange men are found in the desert – nor is it on an average day that you find someone falling into your home… which is in a desert.

Ambling through the many cavities and caverns Eragon still couldn't get away from his feeling of awe. At how large and confusing Naruto's 'home' was, how extravagant and well-furnished it all was, and last but not least. The man himself- he hadn't really told Eragon anything unsubstantial. Only of farming methods, people and other everyday things.

Eventually however they came to a stop. "Whoa!" He was hurtled into Naruto's back when he suddenly stopped. "Why did you…" he began to question. In front of him was one of the most large and regal looking doors he had ever seen. Making even the dwarves work look like they were carved by children.

"What's this about?" Eragon questioned somewhat impatiently.

Naruto looked a little disgruntled and annoyed before he replied "I thought you wanted to free your dragon." Eragon looked a little confused before putting it all together and blushed lightly. 'I've been getting too comfortable with him' he scolded himself 'I barely know the man, don't even know anything about his past! He could be with Galbatorix for all I know... I hope not though' he hardened his features in an attempt to look emotionless and uncaring.

"Then it would be great if you could show me how she could be freed" Naruto's only response was to hrumph* irritably. Sliding the door open Eragon peered around the room once again awed. Naruto however moved single-mindedly to a strange table with protruding… things in front of a large black, blank screen.

After staring at the strange room and screen for a while Eragon got bored, he strolled up to Naruto, who was fiddling with the strange buttons and pieces of metal wire that hung from random places on the table. "What's this?" he questioned.

"Well obviously it is how I' going to free your dragon. Now get out of my light" he growled, Eragon looked mildly affronted for a second.

He watched as Naruto skirted around the table, fiddling with wires and seeming to connect ones of certain colours to a box below a large blue button. He didn't want to interrupt whatever strange thing was going to free Saphira, but he also in his own Eragon-like way was filled with questions. 'What was he doing? Why was he doing it? How would it help? What exactly were those objects?' But knowing that worrying wouldn't help, or as Garrow always said 'A watched pot never boils.'

Eventually however Naruto's fiddling was done. He quickly tweaked one of the metal strings to ensure it was connected securely, before turning to his acquaintance/Trespasser "It's done. She should be able to fly freely now, though I suspect you would be able to find out by yourself in say… 10 seconds?" Eragon was stunned and confused by what Naruto said for a second… until.

"Bam" A thundering footstep was heard echoing through the tunnels connecting the caves.

"Bam, Bam, Bang" The footsteps became closer and faster.

"Bang, Bang, Bang, Bangbangananbabaang" The noise of the footsteps slowly merged together into a thundering clamour. Though even through the terrible din that was being made Eragon could still hear Naruto when he muttered "Well hello 3.2.1."

"CRASH!" a large blue winged lizard charged into the room, subsequently flattening and crushing the grand door underfoot. The blue winged lizard flew at Naruto its wings catching air as it hurtled across the room. Naruto though didn't appear to be startled, looking almost as if he expected it to happen.

"Saphira!" Eragon called apon seeing the lizard. 'Saphira!' he once again hissed to Saphira 'STOP! He's the one who freed you' Saphira halted her assault of Naruto and changed her course to hurtle towards Eragon.

Mind-Shouting 'Eragon!' looking ecstatic and showing her feelings through the mind link, Saphira landed and nudged Eragon all over, looking for injuries. She quickly noticed there were none and could smell no blood in the air, she was still concerned though. 'What happened? Why are you here? Who's he?' her questions bombarded Eragon's brain, giving him a headache.

'One thing at a time' he mind-murmured angrily, hissing at the pain. 'Well anyway we're here because we needed to free you. I convinced him to help, and then he did. I still don't understand how but he fiddled over at that table' at this Saphira glanced at the table where Eragon had pointed and saw its strange metal wires. 'And then you got out and prodded and poked at me.' He ended with an annoyed sigh, peering out at the partner to his soul.

'Young one, I am sorry for mothering you, but I was worried. And who exactly is this strange and helpful man?' She enquired softly and caringly.

'Huh? Oh yes Saphira this is Naruto. He lives here.' Saphira's face was suddenly blank before becoming questioning. However now that she looked around… the orange-two legs* had gone. 'Eragon… where is the other two legs?' Eragon peered around.

"I don't know. Can't you sense or smell him, he couldn't have gone far." In answer Saphira raked he eyes across the room, sniffing for the strange orange two legs scent. 'I can't hear him and I don't know his scent well enough to search for it. I'm afraid we'll have to find him by walking.' Saphira mind muttered.

Annoyed and grumbling Eragon set of to find the disappearing man, wondering idly exactly where and why he had gone. "Naruto" he called "Naruto! Where are you?" Searching through the hallways, he scampered back and forth- checking random rooms, hoping his strange acquaintance was there.

After having searched for 20 minutes and quickly tiring out, he pulled his hand roughly through his hair in annoyance, feeling it wet and sticky from sweat with random shrapnel from hitting into doors and walls. Eragon staggered tiredly through a large ornate stone door "This is the last one!" he screamed- mostly to himself "If he's not here I'll find my own way out!" A chuckle startled him from his rant.

"Well I thought you'd be gone by now" the voice whispered happily "Why haven't you anyway?" Eragon turned, face to face with Naruto, who had a cheery smile apon his face.

Growling Eragon turned to the annoyingly cheery man "I couldn't leave. And also I still want to talk to you." A booming laugh filled the room as Naruto shook his head to and fro in amusement. Immediately starting to trot out of the room down the winding tunnels in an unfathomable direction… ending up in the room where Eragon had woken up… Which was directly in front of the room where Naruto had freed Saphira… "Barzul!"He muttered angrily, not noticing the chuckle that crept out of Naruto's mouth at seeing Eragon's reaction and show of directional skills.

They both strolled from the hide filled room to the kitchen like room that was joined to it, settling on one of the chairs around the strange stew filled pot. As Eragon became more unperturbed and peaceful he sent a simple mind message to Saphira telling her that he had found 'The strange orang two legs' and that he seemed to be no threat. Getting a relieved and happy reply from Saphira Eragon turned to his fellow man and decided to start a conversation with him.

"So Naruto… Why do you live down here?" Naruto seemed to consider the question; a sharp and hardened look coming to his eyes as he pondered whether or not to give the correct answer to the question, though it went unnoticed by Eragon. "Well recently… well sort of recently I decided to follow my ancestor. Going where he went, traveling where he travelled… you know eating what he ate? And well that lead me here" he was smirking wildly by the end.

"Fine" Eragon countered "But why are you here. In this tunnel like house?"

The smirk of Naruto's face grew "Well he made this place."

Eragon was shocked "What? The last sighting of an inhabitant of the Hadarack desert, excluding the various wandering tribes, was hundreds of years ago… when the sage of six paths disappeared" now it was Naruto's turn to be shocked.

"What? You know about that?"

Eragon almost let out a triumphant smirk at gaining information on the mysterious man "I read about it!" he was very proud of his research "So is he your ancestor you were talking about?" He chortled once again when Naruto nodded "Yes… but exactly what do your stories tell of him?" Eragon was startled, It was his ancestor so shouldn't he know the most about him?*

"All I read was that he cm from a strange foreign land and saved us from a humongous maddened evil dragon" Naruto nodded. That did seem to be the kind of thing he would do. They sat in silence for a while before Eragon's stomach rumbled, he embarrassedly put his head down, startled up when a bowl of the same delicious stew he had stolen before was paced in front of him. It gave him time to really take notice of everything.

The stew was made of some sort of rangy, thick and tough meat with strange small green herbs that he had never seen nor heard of before, cooked to perfection. Naruto appeared to be watching him as he ate, careful not to spill any as he drank it from the bowl.* It appeared though that Naruto didn't want the silence to continue as he asked "So when are you leaving?" Eragon gulped down the rest of the stew before settling down on his stool. Looking awkward he uttered a small "As soon as possible if it's alright?" not wanting to offend the man he added "I was also hoping you could maybe come with me… I am hopeful that I'm right in the assumption that you have at least some of the power your ancestor had" Naruto nodded "And maybe you could help me with taking down Galbatorix"

Naruto only looked puzzle. 'Who was Galbatorix? Why was Eragon fighting him?' "Who?" Eragon was shocked, how could someone not know about Galbatorix? "You know evil tormentor and dictator of these lands!" Naruto's face was still blank "You know the malevolent king that the Varden are fighting!" Unsurely Naruto nodded*. "So do you want to come and help us?" Eragon questioned.

"Well I can't spend all of my time at home can I" he chortled.

*Hrumph… umm am I the only one to use this as a word? Anyways it's an irritable sighing noise.

*You know in the books when Saphira calls new things something she has that weird dash thing that's like a little /. Does anyone know where that is? Or is it really a dash? And I said orange two legs because most of Naruto I covered in orange, not yellow (his hair)

* I changed the swear! never fear :) i ended up just reading a fanfic and getting it from that :)

*Eragon still doesn't know Naruto's not from around here, so he think Naruto was born in Alagaësia and due to him being related to him would know more than himself about him.

*PEH who needs spoons. Go to France then they drink from bowls. It's cool!

* He nodded because he can still see things above ground; he just won't know their names.

A/N- I've put out a poll on what our opinions are on whether or not Naruto gets a dragon! Though it will be A LOT further down the plot (: P)

anyway sorry about the wait but I've been procrstinating :L, and I probably (90% sure ) i wont get another chapter out for the next 2 weeks as I'm revising for and doing my first mock-exams :P, though i might use writing as a form of procrastinating from revising instead of (as i usually do) procrastinating from writing L()
