Hello readers! How are you folks doing? Cause I am doing pretty well myself, and I am taking my time to review my writing to see if I am leaving any sort of mistake while writing this story. I would also appreciate it if you can leave a comment, or review of what I could put into the story. I know that I've said it in the story once, but it would be pretty fun to see what kind of ideas you can provide for me as I continue the story. Now let's get this story moving!

Chapter 4: They come together! The start of a crazy adventure!
Narrator POV:
"Okay, let me get this clear," Naruto said very slowly, "you're a god, who comes from another world called Tamriel."
"Yup!" Sheogorath said happily.
"A god who in particular, is known as the god of madness," Naruto said while looking at him with a critical look, "got promoted by the more powerful gods known as 'The divine council' to help maintain stability, where gods and goddesses cannot directly intervene due to laws."
"That's right!" Sheogorath said with an even bigger smile.
"And I, Naruto Uzumaki, am chosen among the ten thousand people, to protect other worlds from super villains." Naruto said very slowly with a violently twitching eye.
"You're correct! So, what's your answer?" Sheogorath asked excitedly.
"My answer? Isn't obvious? THE ANSWER IS HELL NO -TTEBAYO!" Naruto shouted as he flipped the table that stood between them to the left.
"What!? Why not!? Don't you want to grow strong? You're being given the chance to grow up as total badass of a hero, and you don't want it?" Sheogorath exclaimed in fake shock.
"Of course!" Naruto said, "I want to be Hokage and a badass, but do you expect me believe you're a god!? How would I know you're not crazy?"
"You're right!" Sheogorath said out loud, "if that is the case, then here's my proof!"
With a snap of his fingers, did a portal appear on Naruto's mirror. Although the mirror was only a meter in size, Sheogorath knew that Naruto is big enough to fit through it. Without any second thought, Sheogorath grabbed the young man by both the collar of his shirt and pants, and threw him through it.
"Aaaaahhhhhh!" Naruto screamed out in terror.
"I'll see you on the other side! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Sheogorath said as he laughed out loud.
Ryuuzaki POV:
'Why do I feel like that mad man did something absolutely stupid yet again.'
As I continued to make food for Natsu, who is eating everything with gusto.
"Mmmm! The meat is so tasty! What did you do make it taste so good?" Natsu said happily.
"All I did was add salt, pepper and herb butter to the steak Natsu," I said with a sweat drop.
Before our interaction could proceed any further, Sheogorath suddenly came through the backyard door with a smile on his face.
"I'm back you two!" He said happily as sat down on a chair, "so, how is your time in my mansion doing for you two? Is it good? Or is it perhaps amazing?"
"This place is amazing Uncle Sheo!" Natsu exclaimed, "the food is awesome, the living room is so big; the bedroom is so big! Do I get to sleep in one? It looks so comfy to sleep in, please?"
"Of course you can! But finish your food and do a little bit of exercise while you're at it, don't want you getting all fat and lazy." Sheogorath said before laughing a bit, "oh by the way, did you meet Naruto yet, he should be here by now."
…. Wait, what did he just say? Did he really say Naruto? As in Naruto Uzumaki? What the in the blazing depths of hell is this guy thinking!?
…. Oh wait, multiverse theory, I forgot about that.
"Uh….. I believe your advisor is at the drop off room," I said with strained chuckle.
"Oh, if that is the case, then everything is getting along swimmingly." Sheogorath said satisfaction.
In a blink of an eye, Sheogorath's face was instantly covered in whipped cream from what Natsu and myself guessed is banana cream pie. Time had seem to have stood still as I looked at the scene with a big grin; Natsu was not doing any better, he had almost choked on his mashed potatoes from what had happened. I turned my head to see who was it that threw it, and I saw it was done by Naruto, who is currently laughing at his stunt; Mirajane on the other hand, looked rather pleased at the display of her boss getting creamed by a kid.
"... Pfffft! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Natsu laughed heartily at what had happened to 'Mad Sheo'. I have to admit, it was absolutely hilarious! Never had thought that the mad god would literally get his just desserts.
Sheogorath, slowly and carefully removed the cream and bits of pie crust from his face. He looked at Naruto a shit eating grin, clearly impressed at how he was caught off guard. I have admit that even I didn't hear Naruto, or Mirajane enter the room. More importantly, where on earth did Naruto get a pie? Was it Mirajane who gave Naruto a whole pie? If so, where did she get the pie?
… I can only guess that there is another kitchen here in this large mansion, but other than that, I'm going to have to talk too Naruto in planning pranks to help get back at Sheogorath.
"Now then," Sheogorath said as looked at Naruto after clearing up his face of pie, "how about we finish up your meal and have a group talk amongst each other and get to know one another ok? Oh, just letting you know, I will be in going to meet up with my superiors and talk to them. Later!"
With that, Sheogorath disappeared, going who knows where. The three of us looked at one another, trying to figure out what to do first. I decided to make the first move, and try to make sure no one amongst us try to make an enemy out of each other. With those two, I just hope that they get along smoothly, and maybe become awesome friends.
"Alright, allow me to introduce myself: The name's Gen Ryuuzaki, it's a pleasure to meet you," I said with a smile. Hoping that it'll ease Naruto, knowing that he had a less than stellar life in Konoha.
"The name's Natsu Dragneel!" Natsu said excitedly, "oh yeah! You hungry? We have steaks, mashed potatoes and steamed greens!"
"Blegh! Forget the greens! They're gross!" Naruto said with his tongue sticking out.
"But you have to have some greens, if you don't, you won't grow big and strong. By the way, you forgot to give us a name." I pointed out loud.
"Oh! The name's Naruto Uzumaki! Future Hokage of Konoha, -ttebayo!" Naruto said with his chest puffed out.
"That sounds so cool!" Natsu said excitedly.
"Yeah cause' it is -ttebayo!" Naruto said with pride.
'… Well, it looks like these two will definitely,' I mused thoughtfully, ' and here I was worried that they won't get along.' I continued to watch the two talk and laugh with one another.
After getting all the food made for all of us, we decided to converse with one another during the meal. I got to know them bit by bit, and they got to know me as well. We had some things we had in common, like our love for pranks; although the two pretty much practiced it fervently. We had a bit of a good laugh at some of Naruto's adventure of applying itching powder and stink bombs into the the HQ for the chunins and jounins in Konoha.
I think me meeting these two, might actually be what I needed in my life. But if I'm going to be on an adventure with these two, how am I going to be able to help them? Let Sheogorath shove unknown items into my system?
Narrator POV:
(Unknown Location)
In all of his time as a living individual, Igneel has seen my many things, and meeting a mad god from another dimension was one of the many things he has experienced. Does he regret meeting Sheogorath? Not really. Why? It's because Sheogorath is a powerful individual who had a good sense of humor and is a headache, since he causes chaos without intentionally trying to do so.
So when he saw the lunatic after 400 years, it brought both nostalgia and an oncoming headache for Igneel. What surprised him the most, was the fact Sheogorath had come to pick up Natsu. For what reason exactly? Well he's about to get his answer.
"Alright Sheogorath," Igneel said, "what is it that you want with Natsu? And who're the other two individuals? You had cut my observation the moment that Naruto made himself known."
"Ok, ok, hold up my scaly friend! Give me a moment here! I need to get the others here, they should be arriving any time now." Sheogorath said, as he tried to pull the other three into the pocket dimension.
In just seconds of saying that, three figures appeared. One as large as Igneel, and two as humans began to form. As the light died down, the nine tails found himself looking at a large fire dragon and three human figures below them. One he did not recognize, the other two however, Minato and Kushina got him wanting to kill them immediately, but he knew he can't do it with other two around.
The fire dragon, despite possessing a power he didn't recognize, knew he had good enough strength to give him a tough fight, but he refuses to acknowledge it being possibly superior to his strength. After all, half of his power has gone into the stomach of the Shinigami. As for the unknown figure… He definitely has power; power that could almost rival The Sage of Six Paths himself.
He'll hold himself back, for the sake of not trying his hand. If anything, Kurama knew that this human looking man brought them here. Reason? He'll figure it out soon enough.
"Ahhh! Welcome everyone! I hope that your trip here didn't cause any headaches I hope," Sheogorath said, "you're probably wondering what is going on exactly. Well here's your answer: I've brought you all here to inform you that the three individuals, Natsu, Naruto, and Gen have been chosen by yours truly to become defenders of the multiverse that I've been tasked with saving, in this case, the dimension that three will be saving is know as Gamindustri, both parallels of course, from the forces of evil that seek to destroy and recreate in their image."
The information Sheogorath gave to the four of them brought absolute silence. Multiverse? Saving dimensions? Villains who seek to destroy and recreate it in their image? And it's going to be done by two kids and a pre-adult?
"Are you out of your damn mind!?" Kushina screamed with shock and rage, "you're gonna send my baby, to another dimension, to stop bad guys who have the power to destroy worlds!? And you think I'm gonna let you do what you want!? You must be desperate for a beating -ttebane!"
"I agree with my wife," Minato said with a hard edge in his tone, "I do not know how difficult it is to bring balance to these dimensions, but you should consider the fact that you are doing is essentially suicidal. You are putting the children with a heavy responsibility that is practically to heavy to carry."
"I agree with the two Sheogorath," Igneel said with a growl, "humans are very fickle creatures. Some are strong, while others are weak in either mind or body. The task you are giving them will break them, and I won't let my son, Natsu go through this. I may have faith in him, but I won't let you put him in danger."
"Hmph," Kurama huffed out, "although I don't like Minato or Kushina, I agree with them. How would I know what you say is true? You could be saying this to lower our guard and take advantage of it to do more sinister things."
"You're right, you don't know whether or not what I say could be true," Sheogorath said, "which is why I'm giving you the opportunity to see things in the children's first person view. You'll see me and them have discussions, and see their daily lives. With that, you can determine if what I say is true."
The four of them mulled it over. While it was true that Kushina never got to see her son, Naruto, grow up. Kurama, Igneel and Minato however, always had a first person view of their hosts life. It would give them ample opportunity to see what exactly is true, and what was false.
"... Fine, we will accept your offer. But you'll have to provide them with the training need for this mission, got it?" Kushina said reluctantly. Still not completely happy knowing her son was going to face great danger.
"Excellent! Now, question: do you two have any techniques you're willing to impart to your son, Naruto? He'll definitely need it if you want him really survive." Sheogorath said.
After choosing the techniques that they wanted to impart too Naruto, they gave Sheogorath the scroll hoping that he keeps his promise.
"Alright! Now if you excuse me, I'll get they're training started immediately!" Sheogorath said, "oh! Before I go, how about you four try to get to know one another? It'll help in the long run, after all, you might need to work together in the near future."
With that Sheogorath was gone, leaving the four alone.
"... Well, we should probably get it over with then. The name's Igneel, King of the Fire Dragons." Igneel said.
With that, did they begin their discussion. Although Kurama wasn't being very sociable, he answered some of their questions. The one thing Igneel, Minato, and Kushina could think of right now, is that whatever Natsu, Naruto and Gen were going to face is one where it'll test both their strength and perseverance. He hopes that they'll come out of it being fine.
Meanwhile….
"Wait, we're going to Gamindustri, specifically Hyperdimension and Ultradimension!?" Gen exclaimed in shock.
"What in the hell is a Hyperdimension and Ultradimension, what is it -ttebayo?" Naruto said with confusion.
"Uh… What he said," Natsu said, utterly confused.
"Alright you two," Sheogorath said with a slightly amused and serious demeanor, "there are many worlds that exist beyond our own. Each and everyone of these worlds are special and unique in their own way. For an example: each and every story you may have read or heard in your life, is most likely to be as real as your own world."
"Natsu here," Sheogorath said as he gestured towards him, "is from another world. One where magic exists, and the magic he uses is called Fire Dragon Slayer magic."
"Naruto on the other hand," Sheogorath said, "possesses chakra, a power that converts both physical and spiritual energy, into a type of power that can become inherited due to it being genetic. They're born with an affinity for certain element or elements, and ability known as kekkei genkai. Only the most powerful kekkei genkai are known to persevere through years, and the are powerful."
"The reason as to why I am talking about it, is because I have chosen you three is become Heroes. Heroes who will save worlds and these forces of evil who seek to destroy worlds and forge it into their ideals, some however seek to destroy it out of hatred. Now imagine the innocent lives that will die because of them. I chose you three because you not only interest me, but you also possess the power to make a difference. So what do you say? Will you become the heroes the world needs?" Sheogorath said with a serious tone.
The information that they were given pretty much made them both shocked and nervous. They were chosen amongst the many to become protectors of worlds, saving the many from the cruel and ambitious people who were blind to their actions. If they were aware of their actions and did it nonetheless, showed how heartless they are.
"... Old man, if what you said is true, then sign me up," Naruto said with a glint of determination, "cause I'm gonna go out there and save them! No one, and I mean no one is gonna be destroy anything when I am around! Cause' Naruto Uzumaki is gonna save em, and kick ass -ttebayo!"
"Yeah!" Natsu said agreeing with Naruto, "if Naruto is gonna do it, then I'm gonna do it too! You chose me cause I'm strong right? Then I'll do it! Those bad guys are gonna get their ass kicked like Naruto said!"
"... *sigh* I might as well do it to," Gen said, "who knows, those lunatics might end up targeting my home world, and there's no way I'll let them do it. But the question is: How am I going to do it? I don't have chakra, or magic."
"Oh that won't be a problem," Sheogorath said as he pulled out four vials, "what I have in my hands, are two vials of magic, the other two is chakra. Once you consume them, you'll automatically obtain both chakra and magic. However, there's a risk of physical harm, but know that I'll try my best to make sure you don't die during the procedure."
"... I'll go first," Gen said reluctantly, "if I'm gonna need power to save people, then I might as well get it over with."
"Excellent!" Sheogorath said happily, "then prepare yourself, you're probably gonna be in pain for who knows how long. But good luck!"
With that, Gen consumed the two vials. In just seconds did the two substance go down his system, and did they begin to wreak havoc. He coughed and gagged at how much it hurts his lungs. With his heart is beating erratically, he fell onto the ground, he felt as though his muscle and skin were being torn, and put on fire. Screamed and growled for what felt like minutes to help make the pain more tolerable, but slowly did he begin to lose consciousness.
"Alright, who's next?" Sheogorath said as if he was not really concerned.
The two, Naruto and Natsu, knew that what Gen said was true. If they were going to go and save people, they were going to need power. But what Gen had gone through just now looked painful, and they didn't really like pain, but they knew it was a necessary. After all, there is always going to be pain in order to gain something.
With that, the two went on with it and experienced the same fate as Gen. Knocked out due to the pain being intolerable, and they quickly fell down squirming and screaming until there slipped into unconsciousness.
"Well, it looks like I'm gonna have to wait for them to wake up," Sheogorath said, "Mirajane! I need you to help me carry the three of them into their sleeping quarters. I'm gonna need your help monitoring them, don't what them getting hurt to badly."
"Of course sir, I'll get to it right away," Mirajane said, as she picked up the two young boys.
With that settled, Sheogorath then proceeded to do what he needed to do, prepare them for their first mission. Help save Gamindustri from the forces of evil.
