The Diary of Naruto

A/N: Finally... I'm saying thanks to you guys who are sticking with me until this far. Some of you may have the thought of dropping me, and I completely understand. I do. I'm just unmotivated to write, that's it. So, I'm kindly and with all of my sincerity, ask you fellow authors or readers who are interested in this project to help me in making it better. Please, only the first Person to PM me gets to get my reply. That means if you do not get, then I thank you for your willingness in helping me. Details will be talked about later at PMs. If this message sounds rude, I apologize.

"How is he?"

"…What do you mean?" a female voice answered to the earlier male voice who spoke.

"You know what I mean. Is he competent?"

The woman's luscious lips turned to vivid frown, obviously not finding her male companion's statement proper. She giggled, hiding her true emotions. "Fufufu… of course he is, the tome… it's accepting him right? He die when he touched the tome but he didn't."

The man let out a small grunt which is audible to the woman's ears. Hearing his lack of words disheartened her, she then sighed. "Why won't you have faith in me? Surely, you can do so much?"

The man did not answer the woman for a few seconds, he finally spoke. "I have no faith in anyone." Then, in a blink of an eye, he disappeared from the woman's view.

The woman stood there in silence, not moving nor blinking. Inside this empty dimension, where no other being except her and him resides, there is but a feeling of disappointment inside the woman's heart. As a woman, she longed to be yearned for, by someone so… distant. Someone who will come and possibly save her from this prison. But, she knows that is nigh impossible.

She sighed, eyes drooping low. "Haa… there is nothing I could do is there? Then I shall entrust the tome to you…"

She looked up, beyond the darkness, lies a light.

"Naruto-kun."

"Naruto!"

"Gah! You crazy cat, don't scream at me like that!"

Naruto yelled the first thing in the morning, to a very obnoxious and cheerful cat girl… thing. Seriously, if he was told that a place where girls have animals ears on their head and tails, he would not believe any jack that they say. But, seeing it for himself, he takes them all back. It has been two days here ever since he arrived in Gensokyo, the ever so peaceful place where Gods, demons and other atrocities that never came up to the human mind lives.

He'd be smoking grass right now, but it looks like that's not an option. The cat girl… thing, is in fact a nekomata. Her name is Chen, and, for him, she has a troublesome relationship with her master or masters for that matter. So, Chen is the servant of her master's master. Meaning that she is Yukari's property. Just like Ran, she has her Youkai traits visible. The two perky brown cat ears on her head and the two tails that are currently swinging behind her. He'd be using a dispelling seal but it won't work.

"Hehehe! You're so fun to make fun of, anyway, Ran-sama is calling, and breakfast is ready!" she then jumps outside the room he's sleeping in, closing the sliding door. Naruto stared at where the cat girl… thing was standing. After a few seconds, he shook his head.

Looking at his new found pair of wings, a frown etched itself onto his face. With his right hand, he touched his left wing. It felt weird; it's feels like touching something that should not exist there in the first place. He wallowed in his sleep the previous day, knowing that he'll just have to deal with having wings for the rest of his life. The thought scared him, being able not to do something about something is… off for him.

But that doesn't mean that he'll just give up. He'll find the woman who did this to him and ask her a few questions… after breaking her pretty face. Seriously, he'll whack a head with a book or something…

He stood straight, jumping out from his futon. Book. He searched for his bag immediately, rummaging its inside. He took a few seconds, not finding what he's looking for, but that soon ends. seeing the familiar leather cover, he grabbed the rectangular object and bringing it close to his eyes.

Naruto's Diary

It's written as that, but he'd lie if he told anyone about him owning this book. Remembering his previous memory brought a frown to his face, it all happened so quickly yet he has a lot of questions. With a curious intent, he opened the cover of the book, and to his confusion, a set of writings are already written.

It seems that this is my master. I am your possession, nothing less nothing more. But with me, you will be who you are, your true self.

"What?... what do you mean?" he asked, incredulous.

To his surprise, words began to appear on the book, written neatly in black ink. It's familiar, it's his own handwriting! How did-

I will answer all questions, but I have my conditions.

"What is it…?" he can only reply with a question.

…Be useful and use me, I shall reveal everything around you but only you must know. No one else. Not the people you are currently living with, not your enemies and not your friends.

Naruto blinked, not sure of how to answer. He narrowed his eyes, replying. "…Fine, but make sure that you keep your word or else I'll throw you to a shredder." He threatened the book and words quickly came up on the book answering his reply.

Haha I see, then, until the next time… master.

The book snapped shut by itself, leaving Naruto in shock. His wings flutter showing what he's feeling, confusion, shock and surprise. But most importantly, he is troubled. Sighing, he muttered. "Haah… great, now I have a book that writes on its own, what next a giant flying pig?" he shook his head. "I better get to the dining room, Ran is waiting."

With that final statement, he stood up from the floor, bringing the book with him to where his destination is. Already out of the room, he can smell the nice smelling fragrance of whatever is being cooked by Ran. He figured out that it would be Ran, since Yukari doesn't struck him as the kind of person who would cook.

A growl came from underneath him, and he looked at his stomach. Grinning he pat the rumbling thing. "I know buddy, I know… and I'm not talking to you, you stupid furball." His reply is a slight high pitched frequency ringing on his ears. He winced, but managed to shook off the feeling later.

He's approaching the kitchen, and quite near too. He can smell the aroma even better from here! And oh boy, he's looking forward to Ran's cooking… entering the dining room, he noticed that food are already spread on the table. There are rice, some fried goodies, veggies and miso soup. He would prefer ramen but hey, this is the perk of being a freeloader.

Chen noticed the human is present on the dining room, she pouted and proceeded to hit him with her knuckles repeatedly on the back. "You're late! I was the one who prepare the table, see?" she gestured towards the plates and bowls.

Naruto chuckled. "Hahaha, sorry, I need to get something from my bag." He waved the book in front of the cat youkai.

Chen tilted her head at seeing the book, she asked. "What's that? Can I read it?" she asked the only male in the house curiously.

Naruto blinked, not prepared by the question Chen is asking him. "Eh… er… well, you see, this is my diary and… yeah." He said lamely, showing the title of the leather covered book.

Chen squinted her feline eyes so that she can get a clearer view of the title. "Hmm… are you really speaking Japanese? I can't read it…"

Naruto found himself in confusion, but he remembered that something weird happened and now he can read in whatever language this book is written on. "Ah, yeah, you see… well…"

Do not say anything, lie.

He gulped inwardly, knowing who just spoke. "I… am studying another language, yeah that's it." he managed to put up a cover, but he doesn't know how long can he put it up. He's decent at lying, but it's different when you're lying at a person you just met a day ago and a person who you're trying to get away from.

Chen remained skeptic, but she soon shrugged. "I see… I'll go ask Yukari-sama about that later then, for now, Ran-sama told me that to wait for you to arrive so that we can start breakfast." She took a seat on one of the chairs.

"Huh? Then where is Yukari-"

"Right here~" he looked up to see the blonde haired woman inside one of her gaps or portal or whatever. She stepped out from the portal and Ran came out of it shortly later, they both landed neatly on the dining room's floor. Yukari yawned deeply, looks like she's still sleepy. "Huaaah~… Ran, I'm sleeping again after I'm done eating, could you explain what we were talking about to Naruto-kun?"

"Yes Yukari-sama." Looks like Ran deal with her master's antics every day, he almost pitied her… almost. The two women sat down at their respective places and he soon followed. He took the far seat, seeing that he's a guest. Sitting down was a bit of problems, due to the wings on his back. He'll find better use for them…

"Itadakimasu~"

After the cheers from the different people of the room, they proceeded to dig into their foods respectively. Naruto took a bite of his food and he must say, Ran is a very good cook. The fried things are actually chickens, and the vegetables are stir fried with a perfect tinge between saltiness and spiciness. The soup's excellent, making him eat in a faster pace than before.

So, breakfast went along fine… but what comes after it is what makes him sweat.

"Ah, I see that you're here Naruto."

He closed the door to the living room behind him, looking at Ran with an uncertain glance. He's been called here, by Yukari but she's of sleeping so she's sending her Shikigami to do her job. Ran gestured towards the empty place opposite where she's seating on the floor. "Please, take a seat Naruto."

Naruto felt strangely nervous, nothing that he had ever felt in his life. He's used to having Iruka-sensei asking him to come to his office, but when a nine tailed fox asked you to sit in front of her for a talk, it's different. Especially with his conditions, but Ran, Yukari or Chen for that matter does not need to know about that… at least not yet, maybe.

He took his seat directly opposite of Ran, trying to get his bearings straight but damn was it hard to do. Now he's sweating nervously while trying to maintain a straight look on his face. Ran saw his front and giggled, somehow making the boy even more anxious.

"It's fine. No need to be so nervous, Yukari-sama only asked me to explain a few things about danmaku." She let out a word that he had quite heard a lot of times on his first day here at this house. Coughing, she continued her explanation. "Danmaku is a combat style that we use here in Gensokyo. While you learned some about Gensokyo's history from Yukari-sama the other day, now it's time for you to learn on how to adapt living in Gensokyo."

"Danmakus are of course fueled by magic, it's a form of energy." He wanted to interfere in that moment but decided to leave it for the later. "By using magic, we could create these projectiles called bullets. Of course, it's not necessarily bullets, some other projectiles like knives, nuclear suns, giant rocks are also valid. But please note that danmaku is a non-lethal weapon, so the user must balance each of their corresponding attack."

He's kind of get what Ran is saying but it's still not clear… about magic and what the heck is a nuclear?

"Here, I'll show you a demonstration." When she says that, an all too familiar gap opened behind her. She gestured for Naruto to get inside the gap, to which he did. Now he's outside of the house, standing on a clearing with little number of trees that grows in it. Ran appeared a while later from the same portal.

She then turned to face one of the trees. With her arms outstretched, a red sphere almost similar to a ball of light shoots out of it in incredible speed, but due to his early ninja training, he is still able to see the projectile as it crashed on one of the trees. It leaves a rather decent damage, not destroying the tree, probably just scraping its bark while leaving a scorch mark on where it was hit.

The ninja stood agape, clearly in awe at the display Ran just did. It's impressive to say the least, and he's even more impressed at the way that these things are non-lethal. People could fight, but without getting each other killed. It's… fun? Yeah, that's the right word, fun.

"Now, do you understand? Oh, danmakus are not used just like that, we have these," she pulled out three cards from her sleeves. Each card has different names and different pictures… almost like a pattern with the danmakus at display. "These are called Spell Card, it enables to fire danmaku but in a more… complex yet organized way." She showed him one of the three spell cards, the most left out of the three.

"Now, what I'm about to demonstrate is quite dangerous if you're not behind cover. But I'm sure that you'll adapt to it." That was the only form of warning he got from Ran. Before he could react, the Spell Card on Ran's hand glowed white, and the Shikigami unleashed what she was about to show him. "Shikigami's Shot: Ultimate Buddhist!" all that happens next is what caused Naruto to go wide eyed. All of this… lasers, bullets or whatever you call them are literally everywhere! He ducked as soon as his body could react, shielding himself by using his wings as cover.

Thankfully, none of the lasers or danmakus hit him. Even though the damage isn't that much, having that much things aimed at you is still scary. When the shooting cleared, he raised his head to check if everything's quiet again. Ran approached the boy, giggling. "It's fine now. That was a weaker version of the attack, I'm not that surprised when you reacted that way."

He blinked, realizing his posture he scrambled back to his feet, embarrassed that he was caught hiding. Ran noticed the tinge of redness on his cheeks, and she couldn't help but notice how it suites his face. Coughing to a fist, she spoke again. "That was an example of what will happen in a Spell Card Duel, now… any questions?"

Ran was unanswered for the first few seconds, then Naruto raised his hand. "Uh… Yeah, not to sound rude but… I know that you're showing me this to help but…" the boy is clearly having a hard time in learning. "In what way… and what is magic?" he asked, a little bit too innocently.

Okay, too innocent.

Couple of minutes later…

"…There, now, any questions?"

"So Magic is like chakra, these… spells are jutsus and in order to use these spell cards I must create my own danmaku through my own imagination. Oh, and one hit KO spells are forbidden." He made a confused expression, wings fluttering. "Why did last one apply when I don't have a single clue on how to make a spell card?"

"Nothing." Ran dismissed the boy's question. "Yes, that's about what you will need to know. So, would you care to try a little bit of danmaku?"

Naruto paused. He's seriously thinking, this… Spell Cards and Danmakus are news to him. Heck, he just learn what they were a few hours ago! And not to mention that he's not the sharpest tool in the shed, but that doesn't make him the dullest one either. Yet, doubt still lingers. If he were to learn this absolutely great and downright awesome way of fighting, what will become of his ninja skills? Even if he's… fled from Konoha, he still has a mindset of a ninja and to leave it aside is just wrong in his books. Still, learning something new might just be the only thing that will keep him alive in this place, with or without his ninja training.

He closed his eyes, only for him to open them a millisecond later. Giving the Shikigami a signature grin, he jabbed a thumb on his chest. "Of course, I ain't gonna give up and I won't go back on my word, dattebayo!"

"Okay, the first one is simple. Close your eyes, and imagine something inside of you somethi-"

BAM

"…I can explain!"

He shouted fast enough to be considered as a lie. Not wanting to test Ran's patience, he began talking. "I haven't really talked to you or Yukari or Chen for that matter but… I'm a ninja." He saw Ran blinking, he frowned. "I'm a ninja, believe it or not. And… uh, if what I can remember from your explanation, I can't do magic… maybe. It's because… I already have a different type of power inside me." He lifted his right arm, to which a gentle azure flame flickered to life. "This is chakra, and what I can tell, it's different than magic…"

…Something tells the Shikigami that she's going to have a lot of hard time teaching the boy… and, she did.

Somewhere murky, damp, moist, and dark. A long hallway of endless corners, accompanied by the sound of dripping water and metal pipes all across the narrow ceiling, a malevolent energy sparks about. Something… vile, something out of this world. It's growing, stronger than before. The only being that lived inside growled, its massive tails representing its power straighten in a hostile manner towards the matter of force that it frequently felt.

"This… what are you?… I won't let you corrupt this boy, he's mine…" the beast from within growled, as if speaking to the inanimate being that the beast is feeling.

It's only been a while, but the rate this foreign power is spreading is almost ridiculous. It had tried its best to stop the foreign interference from spreading. Chakra, willpower… that's about what the beast can do. Anymore, it would damage its host and that is the last thing it wanted… without reasons at least. But still, this is dangerous. The beast can't do anything other than to suppress the power by keeping it at a minimum… that is if its way of restraining it is working.

If not… then it would need to have a direct talk with a certain boy.

"Hm?"

The beast was brought out of its musing, its red slitted eyes flickered towards the source that has caught its attention. In front of its being stood something, something akin to that of a pillar only a smaller… a pedestal. The beast narrowed its large eyes, trying to figure out what is being done in here. On that pedestal something must be placed… and that something must be-

Me.

The Nine Tailed Demon Fox turned back, but it was too late.

…

The Kyuubi is gone.

He felt… strange. Naruto patted his stomach, trying to ease out whatever he's feeling. It's not hurting… he's not dizzy… he's most certainly not drunk… but… there is a feeling of something missing, something inside of him. He can't really figure out what's happening, so he could only shrug the feeling off from his shoulders.

He has been given a task by Ran, and that is to create his very own form of danmaku. It was impossible at first but that is also the reason why he's packing up. Oh no, he's not bringing his travel bag with him, he's bringing only his book and whatever he's wearing. Right now. Earlier, Ran told him to go North towards a shrine, what shrine he doesn't care. But most importantly, she said that someone in there might help him in his current situation.

There goes his other problem, finding the damn shrine. He's not dumb enough to know that there aren't creepy crawlies out there out for his blood, or hungry animals –Though he preferred the later, both are the same –He still needs to fucking learn the map that Ran gave him, not that's a problem…

"Think Naruto… think, what will help you in finding a shrine in a place where you've no idea of… and doesn't want to mess around with…?" he furrowed his brows, thinking deep. He noticed that a certain part of his body is active, and the ground he's sitting on is missing…

Wait.

He looked back, or what's behind him to be exact.

Guess he might have to take back about those 'wings' comment…

Without further thoughts, the boy grabbed his book and opened the window to his room, leaving right here and then towards where he was supposed to meet this certain someone. But, being an idiot he is, he's in more problems now.

"How the fuck should I fly?!"

Well, gravity is a friend of his so… he'll stick with tree jumping.

Later…

"Haah… okay, I take back what I said, tree jumping in a different dimension, plain sucks."

It's not the trees, it's not about the location. Oh no, but it's about the group of little girls with wings chasing him at six O'clock! "Whoah! That was a close one you pricks!" he yelled back, irritated at the situation he's in right now. Four… no, six little winged girls dressed in pajamas are chasing him. And they're fucking flying, great.

"You're a trespasser, we can't let you in our ground!"

"Yeah!"

"Ya tell'm!"

"We ain't talking shit!"

"Wha- Grr…" Naruto growled in anger as he quickened his pace. Only a day here and he's chased by… fairies, if he's not mistaken. These beings are, what Yukari called them, annoying little pebbles that has the lifetime of a squirrel. Heck that last phrase was dedicated to them here, from what he heard. He needs to escape them and fast, if these fairies swarm him… he'll be in a lot of shit, and shame.

"Gah! You fuckers, just stop it will you!? I'm trying to find a freaking shrine in the middle of nowhere and I don't have the patience to deal with all of you!" his anger had somehow managed to cause all fairies that are chasing him to stop shooting bullets at him. He took a stance from the tree branch he's on. "If you're gonna fight then let me show ya how I fight!" he pulled out a kunai from his pocket. "Okay, come at me you annoying little fu-"

"Eek! He has a knife!"

"Aaaah! Another maid, another maid!"

"He ain't playin' fair, sista'!"

Naruto was dumbstruck, or what would most people say dumbfounded. "Heh? What the fuck? That's it?! Hah!" he exasperatedly waved his arms at the fairies, pointing his kunai at them. "Seriously? Aw come on, at least fight a guy when he's armed!" he spit at the wind, clearly frustrated at the loss of a battle that he hadn't even fought. "Stupid ass fairies…" he grumbled under his breath.

"Now… to find that shrine…" he got back to the task at hand, the reason why he's not in a safe place and out here in the forest. Damned fairies and their annoyingness… now he knows why Yukari called them pebbles, only good for show. Anyway, he's been wandering for about a few minutes and those fairies started chasing him. They said trespassing? He has no idea where he's at in the first place! And a shrine… shit, Ran didn't tell him what's the name of said shrine. Great, could this get any worse?

"MASTER SPAAAAAAAARK!"

"Holy cow!" Naruto nearly fell off the branch he was landing on earlier, with an alarmed face, he looked at where he had just seen a giant rainbow laser of doom shooting up from the sky. It's a good thing that the place is where he's facing at, why?

"Holy laser, here I come!"

Cuz he's going that way.

Next Chapter: Encounter with the main heroine and the other heroine and… is that a loli?

A/N: Wow… just before my freaking exams… -deep breath- -release- I have to thank you guys for keeping up with me, I really do. So, I'll be absent for the few weeks, Hatsune Miku is coming to my country! Yes, you, to all my other viewers who's country is near the equator and starts with the letter 'I'!
