Anyway, once i do that, i will begin Prince of the Underworld 2...not sure what to call it. Go figure.

Naruto opened his eyes to the sky as he lay down on a caravan wagon. He smirked at the small thought that he had become….lazy. Ever since he met Toph five years ago, his life had gotten better. Sure, when he tried stealing from her family, she was the one who caught him, but she said that she liked him so she did not turn him in.

After that, they began to meet in secret, with Toph sometimes bringing food for him, but that was not to last because he father found out one day. But thanks to her quick thinking, she made sure her father could help her and her new friend. She did not want to be alone the rest of her life with no friends, so she was able to make Narutp her personal servant and the word servant was used very loosely. Why, well he didn't do shit!

Ok he did do a few things for her in public and in front of her parents, but other than that, they just hung out or played games like kids do and it seemed to make her father happy. So yeah, the two really connected, and Toph even believed him when he said they he was from a different world.

So, since he was not going to be able to use jutsu like those cool ninja from back home, Toph brought him to both the badgermoles, who taught her true earth bending, and to Master Yu, who taught the basics. He really didn't like the guy and neither did Toph, but he was a good teacher, well not as good as the huge animals, but still good.

At first, he had a rough time trying to learn earth bending since Master Yu figured that was not his natural element, but in the end he was able to do it to a high a degree since the young blond had so much energy. It also made Toph's father very happy that he could earth bend to such a degree because he would be able to protect his daughter more easily now.

There was another thing that happened right after he met Toph and was accepted into her family. That was in the form of a small nine tailed fox. Its name was Kyuubi and it knew Naruto because had been sealed in the boy since he was born. That bit of info through the duo through a loop and it made Toph really believe Naruto when he said he was from a different world because the Kyuubi was an old spirit creature that disappeared to another world a very long time ago. Heck he also taught Naruto the fice basics of an old art called chakra bending….that was just bending the energy with the body. So far, he was only able to walk on walls and water.

Kyuubi explained his attack on the village, saying that the darkness of his old world drove it mad and it was easily controlled by a man with an orange mask. Now that the fox was in this world, it was calm and kidlike since it was a small fox now. Since then, he and the fox became quick friends and they were both lazy, who knew?

Still staring at the clouds, his smile turned into a frown. He was ten now and he had left the world behind for a simple rumor, a rumor that took him away from his best friend.

Flashback

Naruto kneeled in front of Toph's father, a questioning look on the man's face. "Sir, I thank you for putting up with me for so long, but I have heard something….something about my old home and I wish to check out its validity."

Lao smiled sadly at the boy he had come to see as a son. "I see. What was your home called?"

Naruto hesitated for a second before he said, "Konoha."

Lao's eyebrows shot up. "You lived in those old ruins of the past?"

"Yeah, I was born there before I was taken away. I wish to see if it is still there or not."

Lao knew the boy must be searching for his parent and sighed, "Very well, you may go. Just know this, you will always be welcome back, Naruto."

"Thank you."

End Flashback

"Kyuubi, do you really think those ruins are still there?"

From his position next to the blond, the small fox lifted its head. "It has to be for this caravan to want to travel there." That was another thing, Kyuubi talked like a normal human and that freaked people out that he laughed each time.

Sighing, Naruto got up and called out to the old guy driving. "Hey old man, what are you looking for in Konoha anyway?"

"Oh, mostly for sightseeing." The old man replied with a smile. "The others are going to find artifacts from the old world." Yeah, obviously, he just traveled though time and not to an entirely different world. So that meant the old darkness of the world had messed with Kyuubi when he traveled through time.

"Oh, like what kind of sight do you wanna see?"

"Good question." The old man said was held his chin, making Naruto face vault. "Oh! I do want to see the monument known as the Hokage Mountain."

"Fire Shadow Mountain?"

"Yes, that is where they carved the faces of their great leaders. And not many know this, but that city was where the fire nation was born, hell I am pretty sure they forgot their roots. The old fire nation was a respectful place and now the fire nation is what it is today." The old man said sadly.

Kyuubi looked at Naruto and saw the blond looked sad at that.

A few weeks later, they arrived at the ruins of Konoha and indeed they were ruins. Somehow, it had been preserved pretty well. Although, the most preserved thing there was the mountain. "Wow old man. You were right!" Naruto yelled.

"Of course I was boy!" The old man shouted happily. On the mountain were the 6 faces of the Hokages. The first four were very familiar to the blond from his memory as a small child. However, the last two he didn't know of. One of that of a shoulder length haired woman with a diamond shape on her forehead. The other was a really old guy with bandages on one of his eyes.

"Well, let's go see what is there!" one of the caravaners shouted as they spread out to search for ancient artifacts.

And so they did. Naruto decided to go to a large broken building near the mountain. On his way, he saw the old ramen stand that he used to get free food from. Finally, he made it and made his way inside the old building. Walking through the old hallways was like a dream for the blond. He had really missed this place.

Upon reaching the door to the Hokage's office, he held his breath before opening it. What he saw is what he should have expected, but he was kind of hoping to see the old man, not an empty room with a rotting desk near the window. He sighed as he walked around it, taking in the sights until he came to six picture frames.

Seeing a picture of the old man brought a smile to his face even if it was faded. Taking the picture off the wall to take a better look it is, he was surprised to see a safe behind it. "Eh?" He eyed the safe before he tried opening it and thanks to year of wear and tear, it opened just like that. Inside was the hilt of some sword. Sure it was broken but a good souvenir. He also picked up a piece of paper that was addressed to him! Quickly opening it, he read the contents.

Naruto

If you are reading this, then I am dead. I am the old man that took care of you when I could. Hopefully you can understand what I am writing because in the safe behind the picture with the blond man is your father's stuff. Now, that hilt you probably took is the Rajin, the lightning sword that the Second Hokage created. Unfortunately, when he retrieved it, it broke. So, if you can fix it, you can use it.

Good luck.

The Old Man.

"Still looking out for me, even in death." Naruto said with a sad smile before walked over to his father's picture. "So, your my dad huh?" He said a she stared at the picture for a minute before putting down on the rotting desk. He didn't feel like thinking about the past and how he could have changed it. Opening the safe, he was meet with a scroll that said 'chakra exercises and the rasengan', a picture of his parents, and two headbands. One with a leaf symbol on it and the other just had a swirl mark on it.

Quickly putting them in his backpack that brought with him, he left to search the rest of the ruins.

Walking around town, he came upon the Hyuuga compound. If he remembered correctly, this was the home of those white eyed people. White eyes….that reminded him of Toph. He hoped she was doing ok.

Shaking his head away from those thought, he knew she was ok, she was Toph after all! He made his way into the compound and looked around at all the destroyed buildings and ruined flower beds. He walked through the hallways, occasionally going in the rooms. He came upon a room that belong to a girl and he blushed when he saw her picture. There was a name on the picture frame and it read 'Hinata.' Her younger pictures reminded him on Toph, but a timid Toph. Heh, Toph was not timid, not by a long shot.

Soon, he came upon a large room. There was a desk near the back of the room. Walking up to it, there was a note on it. It said something about a young boy creating new fighting style that combined their style with something new, but the idea was rejected. Now that got the blond's attention. A new fighting style would be awesome. So, rummaging around in the desk, he found a scroll that had the new hyuuga style in it. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was an incomplete bending style that bent lightning! "Earth and Lightning? Heh, no one will ever see that coming." He said as he made his way back to the caravan, but before he did, he tripped over something.

Looking to see what it was, he found it was a corpse with a black cloak with red clouds on it. Deciding that he liked it, he took that as well and along with the figure's straw hat( Itachi's hat.) The body also made the blond look closer at it and the image of the one friendly Uchiha came to mind. Shaking his head, he headed back.

The next few days were spent with the caravan, Naruto helped out where ever he could and it was much appreciated because he was an earth bender. This still made Naruto smile though because these people had become like family to him in the weeks that he had spent with them.

One night, when he slept, he had a strange dream. In this dream, he was watching a younger version of his self be chased by the old villagers until that ghost came and helped him. He watched as his younger self disappeared to the time he was now in and then the scenery changed to nothing but white and the ghost was now just a shadow as it turned to him.

"Now that you have returned, I can speak with you." The old Sage said.

"Wait, why did you do all of this, not that I didn't appreciate it." Naruto interrupted.

"Simple. In your time, you were not treated like you were supposed to, and in this time you are treated like a normal human." The Sage explained. "Although, you may have been the Child of Prophecy, that time was beyond help."

"Oh."

But do not fret, you journey has only begun. In this time, you shall help the Avatar save the world. You also have a special power. It is to fuse with the Kyuubi to Fire Bend."

"But….Fire Bending is bad right?"

"Only when it is used for the wrong reasons like the Fire Nation is doing now." The Sage said. "Also, you have my blood in your veins, my power is yours but it will only reveal itself when the time is right."

"I see. Oh and thanks for helping me all those years ago."

"It is no problem Naruto, just know this, the other Eight will be coming for you through time. They are controlled by those with the cloak you picked up earlier." The old sage warned. "It would be advantageous for you to turn them to your side."

"I will do my best." Naruto said before the dream ended for him.

However, in the plain where the Sage resided, he sighed. "The Child of Prophecy and the Avatar, this would will see much change and maybe for the better."

From his position on the top of the caravan wagon, Naruto's eyes shot open to see dawn and black smoke. His eyes widened in panic as he quietly flipped down and peered over the top to see most of the caravaners dead, with Fire Nation soldiers all around. The blond did see that the old man was still alive and that one of the soldiers was yelling at him.

"BULLSHIT!" the soldier shouted. "You came here too find old artifacts that could be deadly to the Great Fire Nation!"

"No. We came to dig up the past for fun. We wanted to learn about the past." The old man said tiredly.

"I don't believe you, old man." The fire nation soldier growled out as he grabbed him by the neck. "This relic of a city is only known to spies! The normal fools of this land should know nothing about this old place, and yet we see 'caravaners' who want to dig up the past for just knowing of the past. All that is just a pathetic lie! You want to steal from the Fire Nation! You want to find a weapon that will end the fire nation!"

"No." The old man said calmly despite the situation. "I want nothing of that. I am an old man who cares not for this pointless war. You and your kin have become so powerful that you fear to lose it and that makes you paranoid." Naruto saw that the old man was truly in trouble and had to do something about it, but the brief look from the old man made Naruto freeze in place. A look that said not to interfere and that he had accepted his time.

"Stupid Earth Kingdom old man." The soldier raged. "You will die for your crimes here!" He brought his fist back and then sent it at the old man's face, shooting out a blast of fire that melted through the old man's face.

Still Naruto could not take it. A grandfather figure died right before his eyes and the Kyuubi, who was right behind him, felt that the blond was losing control of his emotions and that his power could very well be affected. "Oh no."

"ARGH!" Naruto raged as he jumped into the air and then slammed down on the ground, creating a shockwave so intense that it knocked all the soldiers down and upturned some of the earth. "You killed him for stupid reasons!" Naruto shouted as he stomped on the ground while throwing his fist out at an odd angle. The result was the ground spider webbing all around him before spikes shot up to impale most of the fire benders.

The only ones to survive was their leader and a few others who were gawking at the sight of a ten year old boy destroying most of their forces with earth bending to such a degree. The leader, who also killed the old man, growled as he regained his senses and shouted, "Kill that earth bending brat!"

The soldiers complied by all sending fire at the blond all at once. Frowning, Naruto charged forward, weaving through the fire when there was free space. However, there was soon a well of fire coming his way, so he rose the earth up and created a protective sphere around himself.

When the fire died down, all they saw was a boulder. A boulder that looked to be spinning in place before zooming off toward one of the soldiers and flattening him. The ball then changed direction before the earth rose around it, creating spikes in midair that shot off to the soldier, who dodged them.

The ball cracked open before Naruto shot out with giant stone fists and he got in close to punch out the Fire Nation soldiers. He then turned on the leaders, thinking that the soldiers where down for good. He reformed the stone fists into a long spear and ran at the leader.

The leader scoffed at all the useless soldiers and stepped to the side of the spear and shattered it with a well-placed blow. He then kicked the blond back and made his fist go ablaze. "Now you die, Earth Kingdom trash!"

Kyuubi, now over his shock from Naruto's anger and power, saw what was to come and made a mad dash for the blond, but even he knew he would not make it in time for Naruto to go unscathed. The leader sent a very hot fire ball at Naruto, who was just get back up and his back was facing the leader. So the fire hit him square on the back, burning away at the shirt and scorching his back. The force of the fire ball made Naruto hit the ground and hit his head, knocking him out.

"Heh, I guess I will let you live, boy. But...not without a mark." The leader smirked evilly as he lit his finger and made a spiral motion, unknowingly creating Naruto's family symbol on his back. Well, before he was bitten by a small nine tailed fox. "ARGH! Veil creature!" He screamed as he brought his hand back to himself to inspect the damage.

Ignoring the man for now, Kyuubi made his way to the blond. Upon seeing the burn mark, he tried healing it, but it just left a scar. "Oh…I am sorry Naruto." He said a s he put a paw on the blond's shoulder. A sudden image of the Sage of the Six Paths fazed into his mind before he and blond glowed brightly before they both went up in a column of flame.

"W-what the hell is this?" The leader shouted to the heavens. He widened his eyes in fear as the fire disappeared to reveal a giant golden fox staring at him.

"I am both the boy and the fox. You shall feel our wrath." The fox paused before a smile formed on its vulpine features. Tell me mortal, what do you get when you combine Fire and Earth?"

"Ma-magma!"

"Bingo." The giant fox said before it slammed its paws on the ground, which made the earth creep up the leader, preventing him from going anywhere. The fox then roar loudly as a golden stream of fire shot out toward the man. The end result was a statue of the man screaming in terror. The fox then shrunk down to that of a human, still it looked to be glowing with golden energy. It took Naruto's backpack and disappeared.

The golden figure reappeared in a cave that that was on the side of the Hokage Mountain. It then depowered and Kyuubi and Naruto fell to the floor, unconscious.

The still alive Fire Nation soldier slowly got back up and looked around to find that their leader was a statue. Looking around, they found one of their own, cowering in a nearby alley. When asked what he saw, he retold everything. Thus begun the legend of the Golden Fox. A name that most in the Fire Nation will fear for many years.
