Naruto wasn't sure what to expect in the temple, maybe for it to be full of monsters? He wasn't really a hundred percent sure. Though, he had expected it to be so very dark since there were no lights or anything. But, he was surprised to see that as soon as he entered the temple that there were torches that had lit up. Narrowing his eyes, he kept on walking; he had to figure out if there was anything in here.

Naruto walked over to the wall and picked up one of the torches, maybe if he was lucky he'll find something on the walls that would lead him to a way to save the world from this King Pein. Sighing softly, the young man scratched the back of his head, not really sure what he could be doing.

"I'm no hero." He said with a frown, this whole adventure was bigger than he was that was for sure.

"Naruto, you cannot give up now. You just started this adventure. The whole world is counting on you."

"Never said I was giving up Hinata. I never give up, not ever." Said Naruto with a smirk before he kept on moving.

He could faintly hear Hinata sigh, though he had a feeling that she was just as nervous as he was. Not that he couldn't blame her; this place was a little creepy. The sounds of water dripping, the sound of insects flying around or the cricket's music echoed through the temple. It was a little eerie that was for sure.

"Do you sense any enemies Hinata?" asked Naruto as he his grip on the torch tightened.

"No, I don't at the moment Naruto. I'm not sure if there are any enemies."

"Hm…"

"What?"

"Well, I was told that this place was full of monsters, beasts that were close to destroying Konoha… but, for some reason I just don't see any…" calmly said Naruto, he had been expecting at least one battle in here, something that would allow him to get a good grip on what he was about to face while he was in here. Though it just seemed like there was no battles to be held in here…

Narrowing his blue eyes, he kept on walking, wanting to be sure that there were monsters or not in here, if there weren't than did that mean that someone had released them? That would explain the strange amount of beasts in the forest.

As he walked, Naruto wasn't sure what to do, it seemed like no matter what he did that there was nothing in this temple that could give him a single clue as to what will stop this Pein fellow. Turning his head, the young man wondered why this was so- "huh? What the fuck is that?" shouted Naruto with shock as a giant spider creature started to come down from the ceiling of the temple. Naruto quickly grabbed his sword and held it tightly in his hand.

The spider crawled toward Naruto, causing the young man to jump back and swing his sword, hoping that would be enough to stop the beast. But it just kept on coming closer. Looking at the torch, Naruto wondered if he could heat up the blade and make an attack? That could work…

The spider swings its leg at Naruto, causing Naruto to come back to his senses, just barely getting out of the line of fire. Rolling onto the ground, he pushed himself to his feet before placing the torch onto his sword, hoping that a heated blade would stop this thing. Growling, Naruto looked around the room, and saw some vines growing. Smirking, he ran towards them. "Naruto what are you doing?" asked Hinata in confusion.

"Trust me Hinata, I got a plan. This thing is toast." Looking up at the vines, he saw that there were no torches up there, so that was out. Growling, he ripped off some of the vines, tied up the torch to his sword, not too close to smother the flame, but far enough to heat up the sword. "This fucker is dead." Said Naruto as he threw the sword on the higher platform, when he turned around, he saw the spider charging.

The spider was closing in and fast, Naruto knew that he had to do this while he had a chance. Taking a deep breath, he jumped into the air, the spider crashed into the wall. Naruto flipped through the air, his arms spread out as he flipped through the air. Naruto never knew that he was this light before. It was as if these clothes had made him as light as a feather. Once he had landed on the spider's back, Naruto pushed all of his strength into his legs for a jump.

"Naruto, what are you doing?" asked Hinata in confusion.

"I'm going to bring on the heat." said Naruto with a smirk before he jumped into the air, landing on the plat form. When he had landed, Naruto could see the sword embedded into the wall, the blade red, and as the fire caused the steel to heat and grow hot. Naruto knew that this was his chance to beat this thing. "Ever hear the expression 'like a hot knife cut through butter'? This is where you're the damn butter!"

"That doesn't make sense!"

Naruto pulled the sword from the wall; the vines had burned off from the movement and the flames dancing into the air so they made the flames burn the vines. He jumped off of the landing and soared through the air. Flaming sword held up high into the air as he said "die mother fucker!" as soon as he had said that, he thrust the sword downward through the spider's skull. Flipping backward, the young man pulled the sword from the beast and sheathed it once more as the spider turned into dust.

"That was amazing Naruto!" said Hinata with awe in her voice.

"To be honest, I was amazed too Hinata…"

Naruto never knew that he would have been able to handle that, he never knew that he could think of a plan that fast or even jump that high. It was amazing, that was for sure. Turning around, he frowned in confusion when he saw a strange old scroll on the ground. Tilting his head to the side in confusion, the young man picked it up and stared at it.

It was brown, and covered in dust from the age. Frowning, Naruto unraveled the scroll, hoping to read the paper… "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu? What the fuck is that?" He just frowned in confusion, wondering just what this thing could be used for. He started to walk around and read. Maybe there was some reason the spider had the scroll. Maybe he was to have it, to take it.

"This scroll is confusing! What the hell is chakra?" said Naruto, not sure if he would get a question in the least.

"Chakra is the combination of physical energy that is within every cell of the body along with the spiritual energy. It can be moulded and used into different abilities. Like creating illusions, walking on water and exhaling fire." calmly explained Hinata from Naruto's shadow.

"How do you know that Hinata?" asked Naruto in confusion, he had half expected her to come out from her hiding place within his shadow, though it seemed like she didn't want to emerge in the least. Naruto frowned for a moment, wondering if she was going to say anything, though it seemed like she had just gone quite. Shaking his head, Naruto set the scroll down and started to practice.

He crossed his two index fingers into a cross sign. Building up energy as he tried to focus on all the times that he had trained which he knew would have been the physical energy that was needed. Then, he trained on all of the times that he had been told to think on the positive, the meditation that his father had been told. Hoping to clear his mind. The cleansing rituals that he had been told to do.

Though, it just seemed like it wasn't doing anything. To him, it just seemed like a waste of time.

"It did nothing…"

"It takes practice Naruto…"

Naruto just sighed, not wanting to keep practicing. Though, he knew that he had to keep going or this whole place could come down. Looking around, Naruto walked to the wall and grabbed another torch for some light. Maybe if he was lucky he'd be able to find something further down into the temple.

When Naruto had picked up the torch, he blinked when he saw something on the wall. Blinking slowly, he squinted his eyes; it looked like it was covered in vines, roots and some dust. Tightly gripping the vines, he ripped them off and had quickly used his sword to cut through the roots. It seemed like the roots were alive, trying to keep Naruto's eyes from seeing whatever it was they were trying to hide. Narrowing his eyes, Naruto kept on swinging his sword, he had to find out what the roots were hiding, trying to figure out what secrets that they were hiding.

Once the roots were gone… Naruto placed the sword back into its sheath and grabbed the torch and held it up close to the very thing he was trying to see.

It was a picture of a beautiful woman.

She had long hair, pointed ears, a strange beaded crown over her hair and in the center, was a swirl much like the one on that strange gate of twilight he saw once. Looking a little lower, he saw that her hair was tied up around her neck; the tie looked like it was made from metal of some kind… Frowning, he tilted his head, and stared at the strange outfit that she wore.

It was nothing but a strange bra with swirls on the center, with a strange net-like material hanging from the sides and cut down the center, revealing the marking on her stomach. Again, just like the swirl on both her crown and the gate of twilight.

Her dress, no more like a skirt reached her ankles, strange patterns were on the material. For some reason, it reminded him of the Konoha symbol. Did that mean this person was a member of Konoha? Frowning, he finally could faintly make out her sandals… from what he could make out; it looked like they wrapped up her leg. The last of her outfit, was the strange cap that she had behind her, well that and the long material that were on her arms. He wasn't sure, if those were sleeves or gloves since her arms were behind her.

Naruto blushed softly when he stared at her face. She looked… "So beautiful…" whispered the young man, he could feel the heat build-up in his cheeks. His eyes shined with her image. It was as if the world itself had shut itself out from him, there was nothing more, than this image of a beautiful woman.

"Naruto are you okay?" said a concerned voice from under him.

Naruto shook his head and blinked a few times to clear his vision. Frowning, he looked down at his shadow as he said "sorry Hinata, I… I guess I was a little distracted for a moment." Which, was true… he was just so distracted, not just by the picture's beauty but… by the thought that he knows her from somewhere… It was the shape of her eyes that has him wondering why he's seen them before.

"You sure that you're okay?" asked Hinata softly.

"Yeah… I'm fine…" he whispered softly before shaking his head and started to walk away. Only to wince in pain, damn it, he was in a lot of discomfort right now. Tugging at his tights, he now knew why they were called 'tights'. Shaking his head, Naruto knew he would either have to go jump in a cold lake or spring or something, or start thinking up clean thoughts. Damn it, why was his godfather such a damn pervert?
