Chapter 2: First Encounters
Four teenagers began to walk the spiral walk way that leads to the small town of Balamb which Naruto found to be very relaxing at the moment. He then noticed a few people wave at Zell as they passed by anyone in town and figured that he was well known here. Although he did find himself to be bit out of place in this strange town as he saw people were dressed differently than he. However he then saw that Zell ran a few steps ahead of the group before stopping to wave them over.
"Zell I know you want to visit you mother." Said Squall as he got the groups attention. "But I want to get back to Balamb Garden so we can know the results of our field exams."
The tattooed blond then slumped over as he was about to knock on the door of his house. "Yeah... I kinda forgot about that and your right about that Squall." Said Zell as he looked at the team once again with nervous grin on his face. "Besides I wanna know if I passed too and all that studying must have paid off or I back to Instructor Trepe's class."
"Who is instructor Trepe?" Naruto asked since he was a little be confused at what Zell was talking about.
"Your kidding right?" Asked Zell. "Oh man, your really not from Balamb Garden are ya. Instructor Trepe is the one you were talking to before we left the docks."
This time it was Naruto to be a bit shocked. "Wait wait wait wait... You mean the person you guys were learning from is her?" Naruto asked as he was very shocked at what was told to him. "I mean sure Kakashi sensei was a little younger than me when I became a genin and he already made jounin. Then there is Itachi who made Anbu Captain at 13 or 14... but they were prodigies."
"Whats a jounin?" Asked Selphie as she saw Naruto stop talking and looked at the three like they grew an extra head.
"What do you mean by whats a jounin?" Naruto asked back as it was their turn to give him the same look he did with them. "Oh kami what where did I end up after using that blasted seal. As much as I want to tell you guys what jounin means and I really do (Liar). But I thought we were supposed to get back to Lamber Garden or something."
"Oh man... I forgot that we have to walk back to Balamb Garden." Wailed Selphie as the notion of walking a long distance made her cheerfulness go out the window. "I sure hope being late to see our results don't count against us."
"Looks like we're going to have to run all the way back." Said Zell as he knew the distance of getting back on foot would make them arrive in the late evening. "If we walk back to Garden, we might as well stay in a hotel for the rest of today."
"Do what you want." Said Squall as he began to walk to the town entrance. "But I am going to get back to the Garden to get my test results. As this is important to everyone who has been selected to take the field exam."
"Wait a sec." Naruto interrupted the gunblade wielder. "You mean that battle you guys just face is your exam for some kind of promotion?" Naruto asked as he saw the three SeeD candidates nod their heads. "Well, its not like the chuunin exams back home. But still..." The blond wanted to say more on the subject. But saw, that Squall was getting a little impatient in waiting any longer. "I can get you guys back to your whatever it is called quicker than running."
"Really!" Said Selphie with stars in her eyes.
"Dude, you serious about that?" Zell chimed in with the magic user. "Cause that'd be freakin sweet and we wouldn't be so freakin tired to run back."
"If he can really get us back to Balamb Garden faster." Thought Squall as he looked at Naruto. "I suppose it will be okay, since he offered to get us back home and I really do want to get my exam results." He finished his thoughts. "So how are you going to get us there?"
Naruto the let out his infamous fox grin at the three candidates. "Okay... uh... Selphie right?" Naruto asked as he saw her nod her head. "I want you to hold on to my waist as tight as you can and you two grab on to my wrist very tight. Now listen to me on this... don't let go until I say so okay."
The three SeeD candidates did as they were told with each one of them feeling a tad bit uncomfortable. Then without any words of warning they were gone in a brown and yellow flash that sped toward Balamb Garden. After a few seconds of feeling everything zooming pass them for just a few seconds. They found themselves int the parking lot of Balamb Garden without any sort of injury until they vomited behind one car.
"Sorry about that guys." Naruto chuckled a little as he watch the three vomit. "People who aren't used to traveling through that jutsu do throw up. I forgot to warn you guys about that part."
"Not a problem Naruto." Zell spoke up first as he was getting up. "But you did get us real fast like you said. So no biggie, though if I had to travel like that again. I'd sooner ask to join Seifer little group than do that again."
"I'm never going to do that again." Said Selphie as she picked herself up from the ground.
"Aheheheh, again sorry about that." Naruto replied as he scratched the back of his head. "It was like that for me when I used it too." He then walked up to the yellow and green van as he pulled out a tri-pronged kunai from the bumper.
After parting ways with the three Seed candidates to learn about their test results from some place. Naruto had begun to read his book of Icha Icha that Jiraiya had given him for his 17th birthday this year. As he began to wait for Headmaster Cid who was to be speaking with him from what Quistis had told him. Naruto kept reading each page as he had a faint blush on his face because of some of the material Jiraiya had used for his books. However his attention soon was taken away from his book as he had just seen a few garden student girls in their uniforms walk by and he could not help. But noticed how short the skirts were for the girls of the place. Even Naruto had to admit that the uniforms did give him ideas as he began to takes notes on a notepad.
"Ero-sennin this place is full of inspiration." Thought Naruto as watched the girls walk past him before he stopped to think about something. "Hmm... I should summon Gamakichi when I can find some place private to find what whats going on back home."
However the blond sennin did not have the time to think as he then noticed a few people with coming toward his direction. One looked to be the same height has Sandaime Hokage back when he was alive. However the man looked more middle aged compared to the man that was his grandfather. This man had short brown hair as he wore glasses over his own blue eyes that seemed to have a gentle twinkle in them. He was wearing light brown slack pants with black shoes on his feet. Along with a sky-blue button shirt under a deep red sweater-vest. This man seemed to have a friendly feel to him as he walked closer. The on in a strange yellow hat on the other hand seemed to make Naruto a bit wary.
"Ah I see you are the young man that has helped our students at the Dollet City battle." Said the man with glasses as he had to raise his head slightly to see the blonds face. "I do not want to think of what would happen if you had not been around the area mister..."
"Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto." The blond jinchuuriki answered. "But just call me Naruto."
"Very well Naruto." Said the man as he smiled. "I am Headmaster Cid Kramer. Now that our introduction have finished, I would like to ask which Garden you came from."
To this Naruto paled as he did not know what the man was talking about as he had to think of a believeable excuse. "W-Well you see I uh came from a isloated village as he were taught out to defend ourselves."
Cid looked at the blond for a moment as he accepted the story with a nod. "I see you are from a village like Shumi and tend train protect your village, am I correct."
"Yeah." Naruto replied. "But I wanted to venture out into the world to see things. So I tend to travel through thr forests than normal people do now and well I eventually had to travel out in the open. Until I ended up in Dollet City were your people were fighting. Then I saw four or more like three of your students fighting off that giant monster. They did not looke to be up for such a battle like that, so I decided to step in and handle it from there."
"I see..." Cid said as he closed his eyes for a moment before looking at the blond once more. "But still you were able to defeat such a beast with one strike. Shows that you posses great skill that you have gained in your training from your village."
"Aa thanks." Naruto replied as he scratched the back of his head. "But still I must say that your students must really posses a great deal of curoage to be fighting a beast like that."
Cid had accepted this comment with a pleased look on his face. "How long are you going to be in the area Naruto?"
"Mmm..." Naruto then went into a thinking pose for a few moments. "Well I am going to be in the area for a good long while Jiji. Why do you ask?"
"Well as a thank you for helping the students. I would like to invite you to stay in Balamb Garden for until you decide to leave." Answered Cid.
"Well it's not like i got any place to stay and the money to go to an Inn. So why not." Naruto said as he grinned
"Excellent." Cid Said as he clapped his hand. "Now would you come with me so I can assign a room for you."
"Sure." Replied Naruto.

A couple of hours later (Balamb Garden)
A young woman wearing a light blue sleeves button shirt with a long white skirt and had a green sash went around both her arms. As it went slightly around her back. This young woman had short brown hair that mach her eye color perfectly. She was however walking with a few children that were taken in by Balamb Garden. These children began to ask her many requests as they walked together. All which she could barely make out to hear as they talked over the other loudly. She then came to a stop in her walk as she had spotted a person that she had never seen in Balamb Garden.
The person was male looking to be 17 years of age as he had shoulder length blond sun-kissed hair along with his paling tan skin on his face that is decorated with three whisker marks on both cheeks. He had on a back pants with matching sandals and a white V-neck shirt that is under neat a short sleeves blood red coat that had dancing black flames on the bottom. With a strange looked circular windmill design on the back. He also had on a pair of arm black arm warmers as both having tthree kanji writing for sword on them and a long tailed black headband that has a metal plate with a spiral design. However most people fail to notice was the very large scroll that hung off his back.
The brown haired girl then looked down to the children as she smiled. "Okay I believe that is enough play for now." She said as she heard the kids give out groans. "Besides if you are not on time for you next class then I am afraid that Instructor Aizawa will give you detention for begin late."
Hearing this made the kids lose some of the color in this faces before running to their class. Naruto over hearing what the girl had said to them had started to laugh. "Boy I remember how I was like that when Iruka-sensei was my teach when I was at the academy."
The girl let out a giggle at the blonds words. "Yes it may have been a little bit too much." She said as she looked in the direction of where the kids ran for a moment than back to the blond. "But it is true when your late around here in Balamb Garden. Are you a new transfer student to Balamb Garden?"
"Hmm..." Naruto looked at the girl before answering. "Transfer student well you could say that." Said the blond sennin as he went on to tell the girl the same story as he had told Cid earlier. However before anyone had seen him do anything that may have attracted unwanted attention. Naruto had made five clones without the use of hand seals as they just phased from his own body. As he had sent them to walk around the building of the Garden to get used to the layout of his temporary home for now. "You know I never got your name."
"Oh, I am sorry that I did not introduce myself." Said the girl. "My name is Ellone Loire and you are.?"
"I think people say their first name at the begining than their last names." "Thought Naruto before he went on. "Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze."
"That sure is a long name Naruto." Said Ellone as she looked over his clothes. "And I must admit that I have never seen clothes like yours."
"Yeah their custom made clothes." Answered the blond as he felt information start to go through his own head as he felt a little dizzy.
Ellone seemed to noticed as she wonder if Naruto needed to go see Dr. Kadowaki for treatment. "Are you okay Naruto?" She asked with concern.
"Yeah I was just a bit light headed a moment ago." He answered truthfully as Kage bushins seemed to do that a few times in gathering information before he looked at her and noticed something. "Your not a student are you?"
"Ellone blinked a few times before answering. "Why are you saying that?"
"Well your not wearing those cute uniforms like most students here." He answered as his mind started to picture her in a uniform.
"Oh..." She said for a moment. "Well I am just staying here for special reasons."
Naruto looked at her in thinking that was all he was going to get before shrugging. "Well if you say so." He answered before his stomach started make itself known to the two. "umm... you think we could get something to eat Ellone?" Asked as he heard the girl laugh a bit.
"Okay." She replied as they began to walk to the cafeteria.
"I sure hope they got some good ramen there." Said Naruto as he did not see the confused look on Ellone's face before asking.
"Whats ramen?" She asked as then saw the blond stop in mid-step with a horrified look on his face before yelling out.
"NNNNOOOOOoooooo!"
Balamb Garden: Training Area (Night)
The blond jinchuuriki found himself throwing a Grat in the distance in a fit of loathing as he found out this place never heard of his beloved food. Which made the blond walk off in a state of shock at no longer being able to have ramen. While walking back to his dorm with Ellone trying to comfort him in saying that it would not be the end of the world. But it seemed that her words did not even get through to Naruto as he walked into his room to lay down. Once he finally decided to get up off his bed he had noticed that it was night time and that the students would be in their dorms. He then remembered that Headmaster Cid said that the training area is open all hours of the day. So he had decided to let the local monster feel his fury.
He came to another part of the Training Area that was built with a bridge to get across to the entrance. However he had stopped before he stepped on the the wooden bridge as he turned around to see a group of 4 Grats charging at him. The Grats looked like something of a that he could not really explain to anyone before going through a quick session of hand seals and called out. "Suiton: Suiryuudan no jutsu!" (Water Release: Water Dragon Projectile). The blond called out as a colum of water had former behind Naruto as it took the shape of a dragon with its mouth roaring. The water Dragon the charged at the Grats as it colided with its targets as it washed the body away from the area.
Once that was done Naruto then went into another thinking pose. "Maybe I should not use any of my powerful jutsus here." He said to himself really before closing his eyes. "You know it is not very nice to spy on others you three. So come out now."
He then turned slightly as he saw three people come out from the bushes with one being a girl. As one he already met before coming to Balamb Garden as he did not like his attitude one bit and the was Seifer Almasy. The other two were a little new to him as he saw them leave with the gunblade user back in Balamb Town. The girl had short silver hair that reminded him of Kakashi in a sense as she too had her right eye covered like the jounin.
The one next to her was someone he had seen on that same day. But for some reason Naruto felt no real hostility air about the guy as it seemed to be a bit more relaxed and easy going then the other two.
(A/n: Sorry I don't know how to really discribe Raijin. Again I am sorry)
"So you guys including that pretty girl you're with are, going to tell me why you were spying on me?" Asked Naruto as he looked at the two as he saw the silver haired girl turn her head away for a few seconds about his comment. While The blond gama sennin gave himself a mental pat on the back.
"Yeah!" Said Seifer before pulling his gunblade out as he aimed it at Naruto with a smirk on his face. "I think it is time that you know your betters loser. Because you got to have some balls in talking down to the leader of the Disciplinary Committee. Like you did back on the trip back to the shores of Balamb on the SeeD Exam." He finishes as he saw Naruto read an orange book as Raijin had somehow instantly beside the whiskered blond as he started to read from behind his shoulder. However the two seemed to share a perverted giggle as they read from the page of the book. Which seemed to infuriate Seifer even more so. "HEY ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME AND WHY ARE YOU STANDING BESIDE HIM RAIJIN!"
"What...Sorry Seifer." Said Raijin as he ran back to his leaders side next to the short silver haired girl as she looked at the muscular companion.
"Book. Explain." She said as Raijin let out another perverted giggle.
"I ain't tellin." He said as he waved his hands. "Just so I can get a kick in the leg again Y'know."
"Get lost Seifer." Said Naruto as he began to walk the oppisite direction of the bridge. "I don't have the time or want anything to do with what you think. But when you said messing with my betters." He said as he had a smirk of his own. "Please I have defeated people with the same belief as yours."
Just as Naruto had his back fully turned to Seifer. The head of Disciplinary Committee then raised his gunblade as he dashed at the person who disrespected him. However the moment he blade came down on to the ninjas for a strike. Naruto had quickly pulled out a kunai from his weapons pouch that was tied on his leg. As he held the arrogant Seifer's weapon back with no effort on his part. Naruto had then shifted his weight to a little pushed the boys weapon up. Which gave him enough time to give Seifer a knee kick into his stomach as the blow knocked the wind out of him. As Naruto followed up with a high kick to the boys stomach which he kept him in place in the air on his raised foot. Before forcibly brought back down with Seifer in a windmill motion. Once this was done he watched as the two bystanders picked up their leader before leaving the Training Area.
Naruto then went back to the opposite direction of where Seifer was taken to until he heard a loud Roar near by. This made him stop in his tracks as he looked to see a giant lizard with strong looking legs and very short stubby looking arms charge at him fast with its mouth open. Naruto then held his hand out with one being raised as the other being a bit lower. When the monster had gotten close enough to try to take a bite out of him. Then just as the monster was close enough to Naruto, he then held its mouth open to prevent it from biting at him.
"Whew, thank god I beg Sakura-chan to teach me the strength enhanced techniques." Naruto thought as he was holding the mouth of the beast open.
However the monster then raised its heads up quickly as it flung its prey into the air high enough to reach the cieling of the Training Area. Naruto had used the moment to use the tree climbing excersize to stand on the cieling as he saw that the monster looked like it was going to wait for him. He The gama sennin then held his hand out to the side as he formed a incomplete Ransengan as he dropped down to his foe.
Only what the blond did not plan on was that the monster had spun it's body around and effectively used it's tail as a whip. As its prey was launched off to the other side of the Training Area. When he collided with the wall with a loud booming sound that echoed through out the area. Naruto had struggled to get back to his feet if his enemy decided to attack him in his down state. Which he was not disappointed to see the beast charging at him fast again as he unsealed Tensa Zangetsu from his storage seal in his arm warmers. However he did not have the time to react for an attack ash the monster had clamped down on most of his right shoulder and hoisted him in its mouth. As he let out an agonizing scream of pain.
"Blind!" Said a female voice he knew all to well as he looked down to see Quistis Trepe below. Before looking back to see a black mist had covered the beasts eyes.
Naruto took his chance as he stabbed the monster through the mouth with Tensa Zangetsu. Which made the beast throw the blond straight up into the air for a second time. As it used it sense of smell to pick on Naruto's blood to know where he would be falling to. However what the beast did not expect was that its prey had did a flip in mid-air to right himself up while he slashed the air while saying "Getsuga Tenshou!" He called out the attack as a black energy came from the sword as it took the form of a crescent moon. That had a blood red glow around itself before cutting the monsters upper head from its mouth as it fell down dead while blood squirted out.
The user of the attack fell hard on the ground with a unforgving THUD sound. Quistis then ran over to the injured swordsmen to get him to Dr. Kadowaki for treatment. "Hey come on stay with me before I can get you help." She said as she slung an arm around her shoulder.
"Get me to my room please." Said Naruto as he could not raise his head to look at the Instructor.
"I can't do that Naruto." She said in a scolding voice. "Your wounds are serious and they need to be treated at once."
Naruto had looked at Quistis for moment. "Please?" He asked with more serious tone in his voice.
The Garden Instructor then let out a annoyed sigh before giving up. "Fine... just hold on." She said as she began to get him to his room.
Once she reluctantly left his room as Naruto assured her that he would be okay when she comes to check his wound the next morning. Naruto watched the door close behind the young instructor as she looked hesitant on leaving him. He could only smile at the older girls concern as it was the most any female gave him that much attention except Tsunade and Shizune who were his family with a few other people.
The then next day when walked out of his room he was not surprised to see Quistis leaning against the wall in her SeeD uniform. She then noticed that his clothes looked to be the same outfit he was injured in last night. But did not see anything that spoke of any signs of the events that happened last night.
"See I'm fine." Naruto said as he punched his palm with his fox grin on his face.
Quistis did not say anything at him for a moment as she walked up to him and grabbed him by his ear and dragged him away from his room. "I am going to have Dr. Kadowaki like I should have." Said Quistis as she listened to Naruto's rants on saying he is fine. While at the same time they were getting looks from everyone around Garden.
"Hey come on stop it." Said Naruto as he was trying to keep up with Quistis. "I said I am fine and people are watching!" He continued to make an excuses to get out of seeing a doctor. While everyone around him gave him different looks or pity from a few students and glares of jealousy for being with Instructor Trepe.
Just as they were nearing the medical area of the Balamb Garden Naruto then saw one of his new friends he recently made yesterday as she saw and made a mad dash in their direction. "Heeeeyyyy, I hope you're not busy now cause there's something I want to ask you." Said Selphie as she watched the blonds blink. "I was wondering if you two are interested in joining the Garden Festival Committee?"
Naruto then saw Quistis let go of his ear as she went into a thinking pose as he used this chance to get away from her. He then saw the Quistis realized what she had done and found it to be too late as Naruto ran away from her. Once Naruto found it was safe to start stop, he found himself in the cafeteria. Since he no longer had his ramen with him as he did not really prepare such a thing when sealing the juuhane into himself nor did he think that he would be in another dimension for that matter.
"Ahhh that's it I need to get out of here for a while." Said Naruto as he made his way over to the front gates. He then took out a tri-edged out as he stabbed the side ground of the entrance which he used as a tag. However just as he was going to leave via Hiraishin only to hear the voice of Zell call over to him.
"Yo Naruto!" Zell called over as he saw his fellow blond nearly fell fast first on the ground as he ran up to him. "Sorry about that dude, but I was lookin all over for ya."
"What do you need?" Asked Naruto as he looked at the Zell wh grinned at him.
"Well I was wondering if you could take me to Balamb town with that thing you do." Said Zell as scratched the back of his head. "Cause I want to go tell my Ma that I made it into SeeD yesterday."
"I don't know... the last time you nearly threw up on me." The young sage said as he wanted to avoid that kind of thing again.
"Come on man, I'll do anything. I'll even let you in my room to look at my grandpa's vintage weapons." Zell pleaded to his fellow blond hoping to take the bait, then remembered something. "Oh yeah I almost forgot."
Naruto then raised a brow at Zell as he looked to see Selphie coming their way. "Sorry I'm late guys." She said as she took a moment to catch her breath.
"Whats going on Zell?" Naruto asked as he saw the SeeD member grin. "Headmaster Cid want you to attend the Graduation party tomorrow and he asked Selphie to help find clothes for the party."
"Whats wrong with the clothes I'm wearing now?" Naruto asked as he saw the two SeeD members shake their heads.
"Naruto this is a special event for those who have become a SeeD in Balamb Garden." Selphie spoke to the whiskered blond. "You have to wear formal clothing to attend the party and though I like the clothes your wearing. They are just not formal, so Headmaster Cid asked me to take you to Balamb Town to get some clothes."
"I hope she is not as bad as Sakura-chan or Ino" Thought Naruto as he did not want to remember that day. Ino forced him to accompany her back to Udon Country to watch the wedding of Chikara and Princess Fuku. Though it was a mission that he completed with Ino alone that time before going with Jiraiya on his training trip. Ino convinced Sakura to go with her so that she could have someone to talk to as they waited with the bride on her wedding day. However once the three arrived to the country of Udon, Princess Fuku greeted them with open arms. It was then that Princess Fuku said that she would like to have the two girls as brides maids. As she wanted Naruto to be on the grooms best man to which he could not refuse as the man did not even listen to him. However Sakura along with Ino took it on themselves to make sure their friend made sure he wore the right clothes as it became a nightmare on his part. "Well theres no helping it I guess..."
Balamb Town
Though Naruto made wanted to make his Kage Bushin go with the new member of SeeD to go shopping with her. He found that he could not actually do that to the girl as she might have done something and made the clone explode. So he then steeled himself for the nightmare that he had to relive once more in Gaia. Though there were a few clothes that he did not like that she choose for him and in turn there were some things she did not agree with him on as well. However the two teen finally settled on an outfit that looked formal as well as cool in Selphie's opinion to which the blond agreed. Afterwards Naruto convinced the petite SeeD member to let him look around the town of Balamb on his own.
Though he had just finished exploring the small town of Balamb since his arrival in Gaia. Naruto found himself to be enjoying the tranquil atmosphere of the small town though a part of him is a person who lived in the battle. He could really see himself actually retiring in a town that is much like this one for when he gets old. He was then brought out of his thought when he heard the sound of laughter nearby him as he looked down the dock. To see a girl looking to be the same age as himself with long black hair and a sleeveless long blue coat that is held on by straps that go over her shoulders. The girl also wore black skin tight shorts that reminded him of Sakura as this girl also has on a blue buttoned min-skirt over the short. As she also has a thin strapped black tank-top on that also looked a little form fitting that shows her figure. He then noticed that matching arm warmers that matched her coat and a single thin black arm band on her left arm.
[A/n: Sorry this is the best I can describe the character.]
Naruto then kept watching the girl as she sat down low enough on the dock to dangle her feet in the water as he was unaware of the blush on his face. However he then had to look away quickly as she nearly caught him staring at her as he pretended to be looking at the water.
But it was far too late as the girl in question noticed the blond watching her as she played along. She then took her feet out of the water before putting her black shoes on as she then casually made her way to Naruto. Who still trying to make himself not look like he was just staring at her for those few moments and was failing horribly as he kept trying to avert his eyes. She then walked right past him as a way to let him get his guard down.
Once Naruto saw the girl leave the area, finally let out a sigh of relief as he thought to himself. "Prefect... I can fight off as many ninjas as I can. But when it comes to girls, I'm a complete idiot." He thought as he continued to mentally berate himself on his shyness. However just as he was going to relaxed himself once more, he felt a finger tap his shoulder and as he turned around to see who he thought was Selphie. His eyes widen as he it was the girl he was watching moments ago looking down on him with a smile that made his cheek turn a little red.
"Hey I almost fell in there!' Naruto yelled as he pointed his finger at the girl who just giggled at him.
"I'm sorry it's just that you looked a little tense earlier and so I thought it might relax you." Said the girl with a smile.
Naruto then lightly glared at her then scoffed. "By what? Letting me get my clothes wet."
"Oh that would have been a bonus for me." Said the girl as she looked at his face curiously. "I bet getting those marks on your face must have hurt a lot."
"These...?" Naruto asked as he put a hand on his left cheek. "No, there birth marks I had since I was born."
"So Whisker, are you here for the SeeD Graduation party that is starting tomorrow night?" Asked the girl as she failed to notice the blond sulking behind her.
"Why did that name have to follow me? Sobbed Naruto with his head down. "My name is not-"
"Oh darn, sorry whisker but I need to get back to my hotel room." Said the girl as she smiled at him. "Maybe I will see you at the party and save me a dance too."
Naruto then watched the girl walk back to the towns only hotel in the area. "Aw man, I didn't even get her name either." He said as he looked out at the ocean when something came to mind. "Wait a moment, she said saving a dance. Why didn't Slephie say that I have to dance at the party!"

Konohagakure: Hokage's Office
Senju Tsunade sat in front of the remaining members of the Rookie 9 along with Team Gai as Jiraiya standing beside her. "Now as you all saw what happened a few days ago when Naruto left to seal the Juubi." She said as she saw all her ninjas nod their heads. "Well Jiraiya has a theory on what has happened to Naruto and the reason of his vanishing. Before you start asking questions I must ask that you ask the one at a time so the pervert can explain."
"Right, now I have studied the fuuinjutsu that Naruto used to seal the Gedou Mazo." Spoke the former toad sage. "However I discovered that within the complex making of the said seal. I found that there is a time-space factor in the within the seal that requires a great amount of concentration. Which leaves me to believe that is why Akatsuki needed strong levels of ninjas when they extracted the bijuu from the host. Of course this was only when Madara was the one calling the shots."
"So where does that put Naruto in all this?" Asked Sakura with concern for her teammate.
Jiraiya did not say anything at the moment as he looked each person in the room. "I think that the brat was taken to another dimension." He answered as he let the information sink into the group.
"But how can that be possible Jiraiya-sama?" Asked Kakashi sounding skeptical at this information.
Jiraiya then sighed at the people in front of him. "Honestly I do not think it is impossible to start with." He said as he decided to go on. "Well if you look at the Yondaime's Hiraishin jutsu, that too is a time-space element. However that jutsu is limited as it needs the kunai to mark an anchor. The chakra of Yondaime Hokage is that of any person in his time, well maybe more. But since the layer of chakra was so immense because it was being drawn from a jinchuuriki. That it must have been a stronger version of Hiraishin that took Naruto to another world. But we must be patient to confirm that suspicion myself via toad. So if he does make a summons where ever he is, the two sages will reverse summons-!"
Jiraiya did not get to finish his sentence as he disappeared from the Hokages office and left a bunch of hopeful ninjas behind.
Mt. Myoboku
Jiraiya then fell in the water head first in one of the ponds of the Toad domains. While Fukusaku along with Shima sweat drop when they said the man's legs were kicking around in the air.
"I am sorry about that Jiraiya-chan." Spoke Fukusaku. "But we have just got some information for you on Naruto-chan."
"No, its worth it on finding that brat." Said Jiraiya as he smiled at the two sages. "So is he alive?"
"Naruto-chan is indeed alive." Spoke the white haired toad. "But it seems like your suspicion is also correct Jiraiya-chan. Naruto-chan has indeed been taken to another world by the time-space layer in the fuuinjutsu he used."
"Do you think there is a possibility for use to get to him by any chance?" Asked the perverted author.
"Well there is a good but slim chance in doing such a thing." Shima answered a bit hesitantly before looking at her husband nod his head. "We need Naruto to use a bijuu laced tri-pronged kunai as a beacon on both sides of our world and the other. From there we can use a larger seal in Konoha to transport anyone who wishes to go there."
"Alright, then I will head back to Konoha and I want you to summon yourself to Naruto and make him do as he says." Said Jiraiya with his voice filled with confidence. "Once he has given you the extra kunai, reverse summon me again so we can get to work."

Gaia: With Naruto
The blond sennin sighed in complete as he read some of the books in the library that Balamb Garden. He then looked at the the pages on summons. Which he gave into his interest a lot as he is able to summon toads and wondered what kind of summons they had in this world. He kept reading as he learned that there were in fact many summon creatures in the world of Gaia as he became excited with each chapter he read. However his excitement then died down when it was written that the summoner would have a chance at losing some memories. He then frowned at the idea of losing something that could be precious just for power. Which reminded him of Sasuke who followed that path of power with revenge in his heart.
"I wonder..." Thought the blond as he looked at a few pictures of what summon creatures that are recorded in the Garden's data base. "Could it be possible to make a summons contract with the creatures here and maybe there will be away they will not lose those memories."
"I see you have taken an interest in getting a summons." Said a gentle voice that made Naruto turn on his seat to see Ellone Loire.
Naruto looked at the book once more before looking at Ellone. "Not really, I was just thinking of the cost to getting a summons is not really worth it." Naruto answered honestly. "I was thinking of a way to make to a different way to summons."
Ellone was a bit shocked at what she head the blond jinchuuriki said about his work. "What are you trying to do Naruto?" She asked
The blond sage then grinned at the girl with him. "It's a secret..." Naruto answered.
Ellone as she pouted at him. "Come on you can tell me."
"Why can't I ever have any good luck in my life for once?" He thought to himself.
