Chapter Six: Forbidden Realm
Chimera and his team jumped into the woods, telling the others they were searching for Naruto. In actuality, they were waiting while Naruto made a Shadow Clone with enough chakra to sustain itself for a few days.
"New what do we do?' Anko asked as the Shadow Clone rejoined the group.
"I think we should−" he started to say, but a numbness crept into his right hand, the hand he summoned with.
"Chimera's, what's wrong with you?" Asuma asked. Naruto lifted his hand into the air and looked at it.
"My summoning hand just went numb. You guys go ahead and tell them I had to take care of some personnel business." Asuma and Anko looked at each other and left with one last glance towards Naruto.
Naruto summoned a Void in front of him and stepped in. He arrived in the Valley of The End and jumped down the water fall, using his chakra to slide down it. He ducked inside a cave hidden halfway down the flow.
Hidden inside were stone statues of all the Chimera creatures, armor, and scrolls with techniques far to advance for him to even attempt them.
He walked up to a stone alter and cut the crook of his elbow open. His blood flowed onto the stone and he used it as a summoning.
A Void opened and the lord of the Chimera, Chisetsu, fell to the floor at Naruto's feet. The Void closed, and Naruto ran to Chisetsu, noticing a huge gash on his side.
"Chisetsu, what happened to you?"
"A rebellion in my realm. Your timing saved me from dying a painful death." Naruto performed a set of hand seals and a Void moved over the wound. The wound closed and the hair re-grew. The blood was removed, which unmated even more hair.
"Who tried to kill you?"
"It was my son, Suizetsumei. He killed his mother and almost killed me."
Naruto looked at the alter and made a decision.
He stood up and dipped his fingers in the puddle of blood. He traced the runes on the alter with the blood. It dried instantly. A pale red light spread through the rest of the cave, lighting up all the other runes in the cave.
A red Void opened in front of Naruto.
"Stay here Chisetsu, I'm going into the Chimera world. Be right back." before Chisetsu could try to stop him, Naruto was already jumping into the portal.
Naruto dropped down into a giant forest of huge red woods. Armored creatures soared through the air and ran over the land. A creature with the head of a beautiful woman, the body of a lion, and wings of an eagle dressed in black armor landed in front of him.
"Impossible, humans can't enter the Forbidden realm." she said to a bull man next to her.
"Human, who do you represent?" the bull man demanded.
"What do you mean 'represent'?"
"Do you support Lord Chisetsu, or Lord Suizetsumei?" the woman asked.
"I support Chisetsu." they both growled.
"Who are you, to refer to Lord Chisetsu as a normal summons? He is our rightful ruler!"
"I'm the guy who summoned Chisetsu in time to stop him from being killed by Suizetsumei. You can call me Naruto Uzumaki." they both gasped and bowed. Creatures came out of the woods and sky and the word of who he was spread quickly.
All the creatures started to bow to him, making Naruto feel awkward. He removed his mask and sealed it away.
"Could you get up? I feel kinda awkward." all the creatures stood up at once.
"Lord Naruto, I am the command of the Sphinx, Sophia. This is Hoshimaru, leader of the Minotaur." Sophia explained.
"We would be honored if you led us into battle." Hoshimaru said.
"Um, what battle? I mean," he said, stopping what he presumed was a long monologue from Sophia, "is, I know about Suizetsumei nearly killed Chisetsu, and that he killed his mother, but that's about it." a new creature stepped forward.
He resembled the pictures of the dinosaur the Raptor Kakashi had shown him. Only folded over its back was a set of bat wings and he had a spike on the end of his tail.
"We are about to engage in a battle against the creatures who back Suizetsumei. Suizetsumei himself will be there, and Lord Chisetsu was going to face off against him, but he disappeared."
"I summoned him a little while ago." Naruto told the creature. "He was injured and said I saved his life. Suizetsumei must have attacked him when he had his guard down."
A wave of chatter ran through the crowd.
"Lord Naruto, will you lead us into battle?"
Naruto closed his eyes. If Suizetsumei was strong enough to almost kill Chisetsu then what chance did he have? He didn't have any techniques to use. Well, except maybe for one. it was the only move in the cave he might be able to use but the only way to use it was dangerous…
"I'll see what I can do for you." they all roared in excitement. The raptor turned to them all.
"WE ATTACK THE CASTLE AT DAWN!" the roar got twice as loud as the raptor jumped into the air and flapped away.
"Sophia, I have a question. Why did you call this the Forbidden Realm earlier?"
Sophia turned and gestured for him to get on her back. He got on and she shot into the air. She carried him to a mountain cliff and into a cave that looked exactly like the one in the Valley of The End.
"This is the Alter of Genesis, the birth place of the alliance between your clan and the Chimera. The first three Uzumaki warriors helped us usurp the evil lord that controlled our world and place Chisetsu in power. In return, we gave your family powers."
She walked up to a scroll and took it down with her mouth. She gave it to Naruto who opened it. It was a detailed report of a battle and how three warriors used normal weapons to kill thousands of tainted Chimera. A woman with a dagger, a man with an ax, and a single little boy with a sword slaughter an entire army.
"Wow, my family's amazing." he rolled up the scroll and put it back on the wall.
"Yes they are, which is why we want you to lead us. We are drastically outnumbered and with less weapons and training."
"Don't worry about numbers, I'll take care of that. Just leave me to meditate. I'll be there when the battle begins." Sophia bowed her head.
"Of course Lord Naruto. Good luck." Naruto started making hand seals as a dome formed over him. He started to chant as he slipped into his mindscape.
(Naruto's Mindscape)
Naruto opened his eyes to a see a giant cage of metal bars in front of him. Flowers and trees shot up from the grassy field around the cage, but died as they got closer. Flames shot towards Naruto but they flowed around him.
"Oh great, its you." a demonic voice said.
"It's good to see you too Kyu." he said. He jumped backwards and landed in a chair that appeared.
"I liked the sewer better, but oh no, you had to change everything." Naruto laughed lowly.
"Look, I came here for your help, so give it to me." Naruto ordered. Now the fox was laughing. Naruto rolled his eyes and stomped the ground. A giant fist hit the fox in the balls.
"YOU BASTARD NARUTO!"
"Now, either give me what I want or else I'll do that until you do." the fox growled. Naruto shook his head and started to stomp his foot again.
"Wait, wait, wait, I'll give you my chakra already!"
"Two tails fox, and no cheating." Naruto faded away as red chakra seeped out of the cage.
(Chimera Realm)
Naruto woke up again inside the dome. With a push of the red chakra, it shattered. He stepped out and looked at the rising sun. The sounds of battle could be heard even in the cave. Naruto took a deep breath and disappeared.
(Battle Field)
Hoshimaru ran over to Sophia.
"We need Naruto now. Where is he?" Sophia looked up in the sky at a red streak flying towards them.
"I think that that's him." the streak impacted in the middle of the battle field. All the fighting stopped as the two armies backed away. Dust and smoke curled up from the giant crater in the ground.
"Let's get this party started!" Naruto yelled as he spiraled out of the smoke. With a push of some unseen force, the dirt and smoke disappeared.
Naruto dropped to the ground with the red chakra surrounding him. His fingernails had grown into claws, his canines had become fangs, and his whisker marks were deeper.
Two red tails floated behind him. A creature landed on the front lines in front of him. He had the body of a spider, with the torso of a Minotaur. He had five eyes and two huge wicked looking battle axes.
"Human, this is a Chimera battle! Who are you to intrude on it?"
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki, the latest summoner of the Chimera clan. And I'm here to stop you." a ripple of uncertainty ran through the army behind the Chimera.
"Ha, then I, Suizetsumei, will crush you and prove how strong I truly am. We've already destroyed most of your army."
Naruto looked behind him. What use to be thousands of Chimera was now a rough one hundred and most of them were wounded.
"Then I'll even the playing field a little. Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Millions of Naruto clones popped into existence around the field. Suizetsumei's army started to run, but a roar from the giant creature stopped them.
"I will crush you and feast upon your flesh human!"
Suizetsumei jumped forward, intent on hitting Naruto. The ANBU simply drew his sword and waved it. A crescent of red chakra slammed into Suizetsumei, sending him flying backwards, but he shot a web onto a near by tree and swung back to his army.
The clones all drew their swords and rushed the army with a battle cry.
Naruto started performed strange hand signs that only eh could perform. A spiraling Void opened high in the air. Naruto launched himself into the air as a second Void appeared where he was standing. When he was between the two, they both shot huge bursts of black energy that engulfed him.
Suizetsumei pulled out a red jewel and ate it. A dark purple aura surrounded him and he exploded to the size of the Kyuubi. The clones ran under his legs and chopped through the opposing enemy.
Suizetsumei raised a mighty leg to squash them, but a blast of black fire hit him in the side, sending him to the ground.
The pillar had disappeared, and now a giant nine tailed fox towered over the field. "You will know the wrath of the Kyuubi Suizetsumei!" the fox lunged forward at the same time as the fox.
The fox slashed Suizetsumei across the chest, cutting his stomach open. The Chimera prince bit into Kyuubi's shoulder and picked the fox up. He hurled the Bijuu through the air, only for all nine tails to wrap around him.
Naruto used him as an anchor and came flying back towards him and delivered a powerful kick to Suizetsumei's face.
He pushed off and landed on his two back feet, which changed to support him. With sickening cracks his back twisted in a way so he could stand up. His neck popped and he looked down on Suizetsumei. The giant creature roared and threw a punch. Naruto dodged it and landed a spin kick to his face.
He started throwing quick punches, while two of his tails kept him balance and the rest help hit him. With a powerful upper cut, Suizetsumei flew into the air. A orb of red energy formed in Naruto's mouth and fired through the Chimera's chest. He disintegrated instantly with a painful scream.
The Kyuubi faded away to show Naruto with his two tails still activated. He drew his weapon and marched into the remains of the enemy army, which fled into the trees. Naruto laughed and dismissed both his clones and the chakra. He bit his thumb and summoned Chisetsu.
"Naruto, did you defeat Suizetsumei?"
"Yeah, he disintegrated before our very eyes." Chisetsu started looking around when a metallic cling caught their ears.
A sword had impacted a rock near by. Chisetsu pulled it out and gave it to Naruto.
"When a Royal Chimera dies, they become a weapon. Since you defeated Suizetsumei, you keep him. I must find my wife's weapon form." Naruto and Chisetsu bowed. Then Naruto turned and bowed to what was left of his army.
Chisetsu stuck his hand through the air and turned it like a key in a lock. A Void similar to the one Naruto had entered in opened. Naruto slid Suizetsumei into his belt and jumped through with one last smile.
(Naruto's World)
Naruto landed on the floor of the cave. He groaned as he stood up. Looking at his waist, he placed Suizetsumei on a rack in the far corner.
"I hope I never have to use you." he whispered, before he disappeared. He put his mask on and dashed through the woods, catching up to the group.
"Well, what happened?" Anko asked.
Naruto looked down at his summoning hand. The feeling had finally returned.
"Oh, I just visited a few friends."
