The World Returns!
Beta: Bratja Rosa
Beta 2: Old man of the mountain/Darklord331
A quiet town. That is how Naruto would describe Morrioh in a nutshell.
It was a sleepy town without a lot of trouble; occasionally there was some problems here and there but nothing that would warrant being on the side of dangerous.
Naruto Uzumaki, age 16. He had been in Morrioh most of his life as a child when his mother moved them away from Tokyo and her ex-husband. He never knew the whole reason but for some reason she grew to really hate him and never wanted to associate with him after a particular incident. Naruto never asked knowing it just upset his mother from time to time.
However, the blond teen knew that due to him inheriting his father's hair and the weird birth marks on his face, people often thought he was a punk kid with a bad attitude. While partially true, it was more due to the fact people kept asking him if his hair was real. When he admitted it was, they didn't believe him and started calling him a thug and a bully even though he never did anything.
Over time, he just got used to it and this lead to his bad boy look and persona.
However, today was just another day, he was wondering the streets when he saw a small street vendor off on the corner.
Walking up he saw that the man had a variety of stuff scattered all over the place and each one seemed to be from different regions of the world.
"Ah an inquisitive mind!" Naruto looked up and saw a smiling dark skinned man with white hair, "Anything catch your eye young one?"
Naruto narrowed his eyes but continued to look.
"Not really, I mean most of this looks like junk."
"Ah but it isn't all of this stuff is from different parts of the world and are valuable to certain collectors."
"Yeah if that is true why not sell to them?"
"Because they don't understand their value."
Naruto rolled his eyes, sure that was a good enough reason.
But he noticed something shiny, reaching down he pulled something out of a small pile of disks and saw it was CD. But it was strange it was thicker than any disk he had seen before and it had some weird inscription on it. He was not entirely sure what it meant but he was sure it meant something.
"Hey what's this thing?"
"Ah! That thing, funny story I happened upon it from a traveling man who was carrying a set of those in a briefcase." He rubbed his hands together, "That man was very insistent he wouldn't sell it to me but in the end he did. Why are you interested in buying?"
Naruto looked at the disk for a few more minutes and turned to him,
"This doesn't look like any DVD or CD I have seen what am I supposed to do with this?"
"Ah it is not a disk like those you see but a special disk with a special gift."
"Really?" Naruto sighed he was really regretting stopping at this stand.
"Yes you see all you have to do is hold it to your head and if the disk accepts you, you will gain a gift beyond imagination!"
Naruto rolled his eyes,
"Right and unicorns will fly over the rainbow. But I would feel bad if I didn't buy something so how much?"
"2000 yen."
Naruto's eyes widened,
"That's highway robbery for something that might be a fake!" Naruto stamped his foot, "300 yen!"
"Not a chance 1000 yen."
"Oh come on, how many people have even bothered to buy from you! Most people would see this as just shit! Come on you have to be reasonable here 500 yen!"
The man frowned,
"I do see your point but sadly that disk is special."
"Yeah you said IF it accepts me which means if it doesn't then it is worthless to me. So 500 yen and not a cent more."
The man sighed,
"Very well I shall accept 750 yen."
Naruto gained a tickmark.
"You really are testing me," he sighed before pulling out the bills necessary and handing them to him. "Here 750 and don't ask for a cent more."
"Thank you sir you won't regret this. I have a good feeling you will be blessed by this!"
Naruto rolled his eyes,
"Sure, see you around."
Naruto walked away from the stand not noticing the man sighing.
"Damn finally got rid of that thing. Now maybe that crazy bastard will leave me alone. How was I supposed to know he would chase me to the ends of the earth for this stupid thing."
The man quickly closed his stall and started packing his belongings before rushing out of town. Little did the man know, he would never be seen again due to the man in question that was hunting him down.
Naruto arrived home with a bored expression on his face.
"Naruto is that you? You were gone quite a while you okay?"
"Yeah just got sidetracked."
"Okay are you hungry there is some dinner on the table."
"Okay thanks I'll eat it after I put my stuff away."
Naruto walked up the stairs to his room before putting his bags on the bed and then putting the disk on the desk table.
Naruto frowned at it and for some reason he could feel something from it. He wasn't sure what but there was something almost humming from it.
He shook his head and went downstairs, he figured he was just hungry there was no way that disk did what he said right?
Eating his food, his mother, a beautiful red hair woman with green eyes smiled,
"So how has school been today?"
"About the same, two kids picked a fight with me and I ended up beating them both up."
She frowned,
"Naruto."
"I don't start them but I'm sure going to end them."
Kushina sighed,
"I know sweetie and I don't blame you but please you have to try and reach out to someone in that school. Make a friend."
Naruto put his fork down,
"You say that but no one would do that for me. Honestly, I just stopped trying after the last few attempts nearly got me put in the hospital."
"Naruto."
"I'm done." He pushed his plate away and walked back to his room.
Kushina frowned, she really wished that he would try to reach out to someone. She was worried her son would continue to retreat into himself, which was very worrisome. Especially since his girlfriend broke up with him and started dating another guy from the school. That set him into an even fouler mood than before.
'Oh will no one show my son some love?'
Entering his room Naruto looked at everything in there and saw a picture on his desk. There he was standing there smiling with his girlfriend at the time. A beautiful blue hair girl with lavender eyes. She had a very busty body and was considered a true natural beauty.
Naruto however could only stare in anger and contempt.
He told his mother that she broke up with him but that was far from the truth.
'No point in worrying about it.' He put the picture face down on his desk before going back to the dresser with the disk. He picked it up and snorted,
"Put it to your head and you'll be granted a great power," he said mockingly, "What a joke, but what the hell, might as well try worse thing that could happen is it scratches me."
Naruto put the disk to his head, but the minute it touched his skin suddenly he felt something.
"What the hell!"
The disk was sliding further and further into his head.
'Shit I got to pull it out!' Naruto tried grabbing the edges of the disk but it didn't respond and just went further into his head.
Soon it disappeared from his grip and the disk was firmly lodged into his head.
'Fuck, what the hell-'
Naruto's eyes rolled into the back of his head and he fell backwards, luckily he fell back onto his bed.
In the middle of a room was a blond hair man hidden by the shadows. He was sitting there looking over a map of some kind.
"Tell me, your Stands power can remove the power of a Stand from someone correct?"
A man hidden in the shadows responded,
"Yes it can, I can remove the stand and the memories of the person in two different disks by the looks of it why?"
"Oh I was curious; you see I was thinking about something a while back. If you were to remove a stand from someone and pierce them again with the arrow, would they regain their stand or would it not work? I'm curious to see if this process is possible."
"Hm, it is an interesting theory but who would we test this on because so far all of your followers are not dispensable at this time are they not? So wouldn't it make more sense to keep them in place?"
"I was thinking the same thing which is why I have a proposal." He gave a thin veil smile, "Why not remove my Stand?"
The man gasped,
"Dio you can't be serious!"
"I am you see there is no harm if it is done to me. You see; if my stand is removed into one of those disks all I have to do is try the arrow again. If I regain my stand, you have a copy of my stand to use as you see fit. In case something happens to me. But if it doesn't work then no harm, no foul. We can always put the disk back into me."
"Hm, I see so removing it and seeing if the process works?"
"Yes, don't you find this experiment quite interesting?"
"Yes I do. If you approve and we can make sure the old bat doesn't try anything, I'm more than willing to help you with this little experiment."
"Excellent now lets see, if it really can work."
Naruto woke abruptly.
He sat up from his bed and was sweating.
Looking down he saw he had his covers over him, his clothes were gone minus his underwear, and he was not laying on top of his bed. His bag was laying next to his dresser like always and his clothes were neatly folded on his dresser.
"Shit, what was that?" Naruto pushed the covers off, "Man it must have been a nightmare that's all."
Stepping on the floor, Naruto walked to the shower and after removing his underwear, he stepped under the hot water.
The water started cascading down his body and could feel his tension disappearing, his body was calm, and his mind was clear.
He reached for the soap and conditioner bottle but it slipped out of his hand.
'Shit,'
Naruto reached down for it but soon it stopped before it hit the floor.
'What the hell?'
He looked at the floating bottle in confusion and he just slowly watched as it came up and was put into his hand.
"What the actual fuck?"
Naruto turned behind him and saw nothing.
He turned pale,
"Fuck me, are we being haunted?"
He shivered, Naruto really didn't want to think that was true. He always had a fear of ghosts since he was a child. More, he feared the idea of something that can hurt you but you can't hurt them. That was more than enough to put the fear of god in him when he was growing up.
Trying not to focus he cleaned his hair and body before getting dressed for the day, grabbing his bag, he walked down the stairs and ate a quick breakfast. His mother had left him an note stating she had gone to work and that she wouldn't be home until later tonight and tells him to stay out of trouble.
Naruto smiled, it was nice someone cared.
Then he sweatdropped at the end of the note,
I swear you better make one new friend starting today or I'm going to pummel you like tomatoes.
Naruto flinched at the thought. His mother still had some mean hooks when she was agitated and personally it was a fear of his to make her madder than she got. Something not even his father dared to do when he was around.
Walking to the entrance he frowned and saw one of his shoes was further away than the other.
"Damn it, got to gra-"
His shoe floated over to him and was next to his other shoe.
Turning his head,
"I-I-is there someone there?"
Something was floating there, he could see it, there was something just floating in the air but he couldn't make it out.
"Look I know your there just show yourself!"
The being didn't respond, so Naruto ignored it and put on his shoes.
"Got to get to school can't be late."
Walking out of the house, he proceeded down the street before arriving at his first crosswalk.
As he was about to cross he felt someone grabbing his shoulder, turning around he frowned.
'Great it is him.'
"Naruto hey buddy how you doing?"
"What do you want Kiba?"
"Oh come on man I'm just wanting to talk to a dear old friend. I can do that right?"
Kiba Inuzuka, an annoying asshole that Naruto knew and unfortunately had to stomach. When he was dating Hinata he had apparently wormed his way into their lives and after a period of time was having an affair with her behind his back. After he learned of this he stopped hanging out with him but he always made it clear he wasn't going to let him get away. More so, he was going to make him get use to the situation at hand because with Hinata by his side he could easily make Naruto out as the villain if he really wanted to.
So he played along to avoid more trouble or even legal trouble if it got out of hand.
"What do you want?"
"Well you see, lately I've been finding myself low on funds and I seem to recall that your mother gives you quite the allowance. So being the good soul you are, I know you would be willing to part with your money if that means I can have a bit of peace of mind you know?"
Naruto narrowed his eyes,
"You know Kiba there was a lot of things I stomached with you but this is not one of them. Go spend Hinata's money if you are that desperate. But leave me alone." He saw the crosswalk changed to green and he was about to cross. That was until Kiba put his hand on his chest and then slugged him across the face .
"You little shit I was trying to be nice but it would seem you failed to hear me. I said give me the money you got or this gets ugly."
"Not a-"
Naruto got kicked in the face while he was down forcing his head to bounce off the pavement.
Everyone nearby was shocked by the brutality with one even recording what was going on.
"I'm not going to ask again give me the money."
Naruto spit blood in his face,
"No way."
Kiba growled,
"You just had to make this difficult fine how about this," he leaned down next to his ear, "Hinata is claiming that you took her virginity did you know that? She is telling people that it was consensual. But if I were to tell her otherwise, she would tell people that you took it unwillingly. Do you know what that would mean for you?"
Naruto growled,
"You are a heartless bastard, but then again she isn't anything more than your stupid doll. Go ahead, do it see if I care anymore. After all the shit you have pulled and how you harass me for shits and giggles and lie to everyone about what really happened, I don't care. Go ahead and say I raped her, see how long that story floats when the investigation goes on. I can promise you, you won't have a leg to stand on."
Kiba gritted his teeth and his eyes turned feral before he stood up and stomped on his face.
"You stupid little prick!" He stomped again, "You are too cocky for your own good! It is about time I teach you some fucking manners you little fucker!"
Naruto felt the foot connect with his jaw again.
He could feel blood in his mouth and his mind was starting to black out.
'Figures he is going to knock me out, lie to everyone, and then steal the money out of my bag.' He could feel his bag was being tugged on.
"Let go of the bag!"
He stomped on Naruto's crotch making him scream in pain.
"I said let go!"
Kiba stomped on his throat making Naruto cough and soon his grip loosened.
"See was that so hard," he kicked him across the face sending him to his side. "Now then lets see what you got."
Naruto wobbled to his feet but he glared at him. All he could do is see the back of his head, one hit that is all he wanted, he wanted to send this asshole flying.
The thought, the feeling, the sensation, it was growing and all he could do is think,
'FUCKING WORTHLESS SCUM!'
Soon, Naruto felt something behind him again, turning his head slightly he saw it. The ethereal being appeared and it had golden armor around its body a square like helmet, and red eyes by the looks of it. The being was brawny and seemed to carry and aura of great power and speed in it.
His bag was thrown to the ground and he saw Kiba counting up the money.
"Well now see we can be friends again, this could have all been avoided if you just helped out?" He walked closely to Naruto and whispered, "Still I think Hinata telling people that you raped her will suffice as punishment don't you think? Don't you ever talk back to me again."
"Your fucking garbage and not worth remembering Kiba." His eyes were wide and he screamed, "Your nothing but a thug and a fucking coward!" Naruto walked by him and over to his school bag ignoring the man and the people around him.
Kiba growled and went to punch him in the back of his head but his hand stopped half-way.
"W-w-What the hell! What's going on!"
Naruto was as surprised as it seemed Kiba couldn't see the being behind him. No one could, but he could see it clear as day. The being had grabbed the wrist of Kiba in mid-swing and it growled at him.
Blurring speed it hit him in the face sending him flying across the street. Kiba landed on top of a car, the driver got out of the car in shock and saw that the boy was bleeding form his nose and was unconscious.
"Shit call an ambulance!"
"What the hell just happened!"
"I don't know but whatever happened he got what he deserved!"
"Yeah he was beating up someone and stealing their money in broad daylight!"
The one that had their phone out nodded,
"Yeah I recorded the whole incident!"
Naruto looked on in shock but soon he saw his money floating around.
'Shit I need to get that back.'
The being reached out and quickly snatched the money out of the sky and put it into a neat pile before putting it back in his bag. The being grabbed it and handed the bag to him.
"Wait are you, are you protecting me?"
The being nodded it's head.
"But, but why?"
The being pointed at him and then pointed to itself.
"So we are connected, you are connected to something in me?"
It nods.
"This is crazy, I need to get out of here."
Naruto jumped to his feet and while he was bleeding he made a mad dash across the road and ran to the school.
People were shouting for him to stop and go to the hospital, but he didn't want to listen. He just ran to escape the madness that was surrounding him.
Arriving at the entrance to the school Naruto saw students walking onto campus and while on the way he had stopped at a nearby store and got some medicine and some paper towels to clean up the blood.
Hopefully this would be the end of the madness for his day.
Walking to the entrance, he didn't see three people in particular looking at him.
One was a young man with black hair in a toupee wearing a modified version of the school uniform. His name was Josuke.
Another was a black hair teen wearing another modified uniform but his hair was near shavened down, and he had the word billion written on his jacket. His name was Okayasu
Next to them was a small boy with long spikey gray hair and the green and black version of the school uniform. His name was Koichi.
The three watched the entrance to the school as lately they had noticed more people were starting to emerge with Stands.
More, those that were shot by a Stand named Chili Pepper, apparently it wanted to use the bow and arrow for its own goals. They weren't sure what it was but he was willing to kill for his own desires considering he murdered Okayasu's brother to get it.
But they noticed something off with the blond hair student.
"Hey," Okayasu pointed at Naruto, "Do you guys see it?"
Josuke nodded, "Yeah there is a Stand behind him but why he is showing it off some flagrantly?"
"Maybe he has a powerful stand that he wants to intimidate us with?" Koichi was being cautious with this new stand's appearance but he could also see that he looked confused. Unlike his friends he was thinking that maybe they should-,
"Well only one way to find out!" Okayasu ran at Naruto, "Hey you!"
Naruto looked up and saw Okayasu charging him.
"Huh?"
"Your another Stand user aren't you!"
"Huh? What are you-" Naruto found himself right in front of him. "Huh what the hell-"
Okayasu hit Naruto square in the mouth sending him flying. Naruto hit the ground with a thud and groaned before sitting up wobbly.
"What the fuck was that about?"
"I'm not done with you!" Naruto saw a humanoid figure appear.
"What the fuck he has one of those things too!"
Soon he found himself in front of him again and his eyes widened in shock and fear.
'Shit I don't know what to do! He, he's going to kill me!'
The golden figure appeared in front of Okayasu, finally materializing for the group to see and it growled.
Within seconds, his right hand was knocked away, and he was soon hit with two powerful hooks across the face.
"What the hell!" Josuke jumped to his feet, "He hit Okayasu so fast,"
Koichi continued, "Not just fast it is strong look he knocked him into the air."
Okayasu hit the ground with a thud and a bleeding jaw before sitting up.
"Bad move asshole!"
"Hold on what's is this what is going on!"
Koichi seemed to hear his question and he tried to shout,
"Wait guys stop I think we-"
"Stand back Koichi we'll take care of this!"
Another humanoid figure appeared and Naruto got scared.
'I don't get it what is going on, why are they attacking me! I didn't do anything to them.' Naruto held his arms in a cross block but his figure appeared between the two of them and slammed its fist into the chest of Josuke making him lurch forward in pain.
'Shit he has a lot of power, I think he hits as hard as Mr. Jotaro.'
Speaking of Jotaro, he was coming to the school to talk to Josuke and the others about some of his findings and possible leads on Chili Pepper when he saw what was going on. But unlike the others he was frozen in shock and fear.
'No, impossible how did that kid get that Stand? Shit if I don't do something he could do something dangerous!' Rushing to the group he shouted,
"Everyone stand down! Don't provoke it!"
"Like hell I'm going to listen!" Okayasu, "He is going to tell me where that bird beak freak is hiding!"
Naruto's eyes widened and due to the stimulation and shock, he was overloaded and unsure what to do.
"Please stop, LEAVE ME ALONE!"
His stand growled and roared to life but Jotaro acted quicker,
"STAR PLATINUM: THE WORLD!"
Naruto closed his eyes but he felt nothing happening, nothing was going on.
"Hey kid."
Naruto turned to see a large man wearing a white outfit with some kind of peace symbol on it and an interior jacket. He wasn't sure what to make of this other than that the man was huge.
"Wha-what is going on!? I don't understand any of this! Why did they attack me I didn't do anything!"
"Geez kid relax take a-" his stand appeared and blocked a powerful punch from Naruto's stand.
"Just tell me what the hell is going on? Why is no one moving, I don't understand any of this! Please just make it all stop I can't keep up!"
Josuke looked down and sighed,
"Good grief Josuke you guys jumped the gun on this one."
Time began resuming, but Jotaro was in front of Naruto and blocking the path of the others.
"Huh?" Okayasu frowned, "Move Jotaro!"
"No," he glared at them making all three jump. "You guys jumped to a conclusion because this kid had a stand. More importantly you attacked him before even asking what his thoughts or if he even knew he had a Stand. Right now the kid is freaking out and if you don't all stop this could turn ugly. Now stop what you're doing NOW!"
The three back up. When Jotaro was telling them back up they listened. Especially since he was the most senior person in their group when it came to Stands and understanding their enemies.
"What the hell?" Naruto stood to his feet. "I don't understand, Stands? Powers? Chili Pepper? Please someone make sense for me please!"
Jotaro sighed,
"Sorry about that kid. You didn't deserve that and your right you deserve some straight answers. My name is Jotaro Kujoh and as you can see I'm a Stand user." He materialized his Stand, "As you can see Stands are the materialization of one's fighting spirit and will. Each one is unique to each person and as you can see those three have Stands as well."
"Okay and that is what this is?" He pointed to the golden figure next to him, staring at them with a dark glare.
"Yes but I'm curious kid how did you get that Stand in particular?"
"Huh?"
"You there can only ever be one version of each Stand in the world. Due to them being very personal and related to the person, so my question, is how did you gain that Stand?"
"I-I-I don't really know how to answer that question. Yesterday I bought this thing from a traveling vendor and he told me if I hold it to my head it will grant me a great blessing. At first I thought he was full of shit and then I saw this, now I'm wondering if this is what he meant."
"Good grief." Jotaro stared at the Stand. "Your Stand is called The World. It once belonged to a dangerous man named Dio."
This shocked the group; they heard about Dio from Jotaro and how he was all powerful and cruel and the Joestar's greatest enemy for over a 100 years. They knew that the bow and arrow that they were searching for created this Stand and gave Dio his power. But if that was the case and this is the same Stand he had, how did Naruto get it?
"Wa-wait your saying that I have a Stand that once belonged to an evil person? But that doesn't mean I'm evil!"
"No but I think we need to talk more in private please follow me. I'll make sure your excused today from school."
Naruto watched as Jotaro started walking away, given he just stated the importance of his Stand he saw no reason to doubt him. So, grabbing his bag he glared at Okayasu once and ran after Jotaro.
Not knowing the life he was about to be pulled into and the circumstances of the many events to come and the trials he would face.
But he had the World and that is all he needed.
Chapter End
