So here is chapter 2 as promised, hope you enjoy dearest reader. Also really quick, so far I've written in a 3rd person POV, I was considering doing some first person as well to really add depth and such however I wouldn't want to offend someone? I don't know hahaha. Let me know if you're fine with 1st person and if not I guess I'll keep writing in 3rd. Thanks for reading.

The universe decided now would be the ideal time to test him, as it immediately began to rain a dark and heavy rain. *

As Frederick walked through the rain he frowned. It wouldn't be fair to just let him walk through a beautiful meadow or some nice quiet forest. No, instead he was forced to travel through a muddy, cold valley. He looked around, the soil he walked over was simply, muddy. It was dull, brown, and had a sludgy feel to it as it ruined his shoes. He felt his socks completely soaked with water and mud. The entire landscape looked awful, and nothing seemed to move in the still environment; except for the rain that down poured. The walls to his sides were both empty, just mud and dirt; Frederick was surprised they hadn't fallen from this storm or previous storms.

Frederick continued to walk, slowly and carefully; praying that he wouldn't fall into some kind of ditch or pitfall trap. He would be finished.

Then Frederick realized something. He felt more awake then he ever had previously felt in his entire life, and he was only realizing it now.

"There's no way." He thought to himself.

"Could I have chakra? This is the naruto world after all; could I be able to use justu and stuff like that?" He quickly tried to remember any hand signs from the show that he could pull off. Of course the first he attempted was the one that only used four hand signs; the raikiri.

Frederick performed the signs and attempted to concentrate, however nothing happened. He defiantly felt chakra, but he must not have been at the level required to perform the justu. He recalled how long it took to prepare Sasuke to use that justu. Frederick frowned and decided to just carry on his way. He could try justu again later.

Finally Frederick reached what appeared to be the clearing of the valley he was in, only to see it completely flooded with muddy water. The only way to exit this valley would be to swim across the flooded land and get to the other side, which appeared to look like a grassy forest.

Frederick looked at the muddy water in disgust, he wasn't a clean freak however he wasn't one of those people that would go exploring through mud for fun. He reminded himself this was for life, and to fulfill Sophie's last wish for Frederick to live his life.

He quickly dove into the water and swam quickly to the other side. Mud and soil clung to his body and covered it; Frederick could feel his clothes being destroyed. He felt the coldness of the water stealing the heat from his body. The rain contributed to his heat loss until finally Frederick reached the other end of the forest and pulled himself out.

He struggled. Getting through that valley took a lot out of him; the last time he remembered doing something that tiring was the marathon Sophie had convinced him to do with her. He remembered the cute pink headband she had wore, the look she gave him after he had complained about her looking too beautiful.

Sophie had always been talented at everything, making friends, writing, singing; you name it she was great at it. Everything about her made Frederick happy, and he was glad that she picked him to be with her… even though she could have easily picked someone smarter or taller or more muscular. She had always wanted to talk to him…from the most moment they met.

Frederick picked himself up and stood up. He didn't have time to daydream…not now; he had to get to warmth and safety.

He continued walking, running and just moving quickly in short intervals.

The woods, had it not been raining, would likely have looked beautiful. It consisted of lush tress, bushes, grass; everything about this forest looked really nice truthfully. Unfortunately the whole forest was wet from the rain, and just overall, moist. Sophie would have said this whole scene was romantic; two lovers alone in a beautiful forest as rain fell sadly.

Frederick shuddered and closed his eyes for a moment and stopped moving. He thought of her image. He really did think that after her death he would finally be over her but for some reason that wasn't the case. It was as if seeing her again reopened a wound that never did close properly.

Frederick then knelt on the ground; he was freezing from the cold, and remembered a conversation he had once had with Sophie.

They were discussing justu that they would do or create if they were in the Naruto universe.

Sophie looked at Frederick as if his idea was the weirdest thing she had ever heard.

"You want to make a justu where you breathe, and the heat from your breath is as hot as a live flame, but without any flames? What's the point to a justu like that?"

Frederick glared at Sophie playfully.

"It's a good survival justu, think of it; You're in enemy territory and its cold. You don't want to start a fire because what if an enemy sees you, and its warm enough that you can rest without freezing to death and getting hypothermia or some other cold inflicted disease! I call it the fire breath justu."

Sophie was cracking up.

"That's so stupid! First of all a name like that should mean your breathing fire! Next it's such a stupid move, if you're a ninja, you could just take out your enemies and then just make a normal fire!"

Frederick just looked at her while she continued.

"Now personally I would make a justu that turned all dark and grim things pink. Sage Art: Pink Flare Justu! What do you think?"

"Personally, I think I love you."

Sophie just beamed at him.

"Alright Sophie, well I'll show you now that my justu wasn't such a bad idea after all! Fire Style: Fire Breath Justu!"

Frederick took a deep breath and focused.

"If I do have any ninja potential, please let this work!"

Frederick exhaled his breath in front of him and he felt a gush of heat from the spot he had exhaled to. He smiled as he started to feel warmer, and continued to walk forward.

"I told you Sophie, I knew I could do it."

"Do what exactly?" A figure called out to him from the darkness.*
