Hi! Thanks for all the review and follows guys and girls! Really makes me happy to continue writing this thing! This has officially been my most successful story in terms of overall views! Thanks! J

It was a little bit after midday, so Frederick did have time to develop his abilities and make some more abilities… He smiled. He was living so many people's dreams by being in this world…he would have to make it worth it.*

The late afternoon treated Frederick gently. He undertook great practice and patience. He perfected numerous justu in just one day. In truth he felt that if he had to fight a skilled opponent he would be able to hold his own. He needed experience but in abilities and natural gifts there was no doubt that Frederick would have an advantage.

As it became night Frederick decided to lie upon the ground and watch the sun set. He used to spend nights with Sophie like this when they lived in New York. They would go to the top of Frederick's apartment building and spend hours just watching the stars together. Frederick would always watch the brightness of the stars reflect off of Sophie and her perfect appearance. Sometimes she would complain that he would spend too much time looking at her instead of the stars but Frederick didn't care. He always felt something so perfect should always have someone admiring it.

Frederick took a deep breath. Here he was in the world of Naruto; he had been captured by the very organization he admired yet disliked. He knew that they were just being used. Frederick couldn't talk to Pein yet. He wanted to tell him how all of this was a mistake, but two things held him back. The first was that he feared that if he altered the time line to desperately things could become unpredictable. The second thing was that Frederick didn't feel that he was at the level to be able to protect himself if and should the akatsuki take it badly. That was why Frederick had converted so much of his energy today to training and advancing his power.

After Frederick stared at the stars he decided there was one more justu to attempt. It would be the most dangerous and most powerful justu yet.

Frederick began climbing the tallest tree he could find. Considering his taijustu was complete garbage he was proud that it only took him about ten minutes. That was when Frederick jumped off the tree to perform his new justu at the land below him. With considerable distance between him and the ground, fear tugged at the brims of Frederick' heart; thankfully he hadn't started falling yet; the last thing he wanted was to be reminded of his leap of faith in New York that had brought him to this world.

Immediately Frederick began making hand signs.

"Ultimate Fire Technique: Flame Death Blast Justu!"

Frederick then took a deep breath as he fired off a considerably large fire blast to the ground. In moments the entire forest was on fire. Frederick didn't know how he felt about the justu; in truth he had intended for the flame blast to be larger, consist of more power, and incorporate a more earthy back to it for greater power but what he had produced was enough.

Frederick then started falling readily towards the lake. The air brushed past Frederick at intense speeds; he felt the sensation of his NYC jump and suddenly he felt sick to his stomach. Frederick had never been scarred of heights before in his life; perhaps the fall killing him changed his mind set.

Finally Frederick fell directly into the center of the water causing a huge splash. Frederick's body ached in pain after falling from such a height but he was alive.

As Frederick swam above the water for air he noticed three figures standing together by the shoreline. It was none other than Itachi, Kakuzu and Pein.*

Pein had been collecting information on the jinchuriki of Konoha; specifically the Kyuubi when Itachi walked in.

"Leader-sama; after observing Frederick's rapid progress I would think it to be best for him to try and enter of fields of fire."

Pein looked at Itachi in complete surprise.

"Itachi, has he really come along that well? Is he truly that powerful? No one has ever been able to cross the fields and fulfill the legend… not even you could cross!"

Itachi eyed Pein with a grim expression.

"The dangers of that place are unspeakable; however I am confident that he can succeed."

"Let's go see this progress then."

As they walked, Kakuzu followed them; mentioning how he had wanted to see the potential of the young money maker.

That was when they saw him performing the powerful fire justu. Itachi began speaking of how the entire day Frederick had been developing powerful justu both new and old; his power was substantial.

Itachi looked over to Pein.

"I believe he is capable; do you agree?"

Pein nodded his head; many powerful ninja had tried to cross the fields only to fail. It had been said that any ninja who could cross the fields of fire, climb the ancient mountains and approach the caves of flame would receive unbelievable justu in the art of fire.

"Follow your schedule with him Itachi; when he is ready guide him to the fields. For your sake I hope he survives."

Kakuzu had been very quiet during the entire conversation; in truth he didn't know much of anything about any legends regarding a field of fire. He did know that a powerful fire ninja meant burning down many homes and getting Kakuzu lots of free, easy money. He began to scheme for how he would be able to convince Frederick to follow his ways. Perhaps by finding out more of what interests Frederick would lead to success. Money buys all, and even though he wouldn't spend a cent; he knew just how to get people to give him what he desires.

Sorry for the short chapter but I couldn't really concentrate tonight and it's already three A.M. hahaha. I'll get something up tomorrow. Let me know if I mis edited anything in this chapter, I'm too tired to double check J
