Disclaimers: I dont own Naruto or Ultimate Marvel (unfortunately, lol overused statement much :)
Due to a number of reviews and a great many people favouriting and alerting this fic, I've decided to update it ahead of my intended schedule. This chapter might seem a little strange in structure, cause I originally intended to make this chapter Tobi's first appearence while the Nimrod fight would have been part of the first chapter. But I've decided to stick with this idea of the second chapter, hope everyone enjoys it as much as the first.
The Ultimate Saviours
Chapter 2: Crazy new world
3 minutes, that's how long it took Tobi to learn everything he needed to know about this world. Its history, languages and technology, but more importantly the power it had to offer. This was a world occupied by ninjas, or what the people called super humans, yet it was ordinary, weak people that ruled it. While everyone in Tobi's world had the power to become ninjas, only people that had modified their genes and bodies could attain true power in this world. But strangely and most puzzling, it was the people that didn't have power that decided what kind of world this place should be.
'Its an injustice for the weak to rule, this "Magneto" person had the right idea, though I'll criticise his lack of subtlety,' Tobi thought.
The time distortion was exactly what Tobi needed to leave the Shinobi world behind and find a new place to conquer. By reducing this world to ash he could rebuild it from the ground up, and the mutant situation was the key to it. But right now Tobi was more interested in getting information on an entirely different topic. He now sat in the house of the first person to find him. She didn't speak the language the "French" did, because she wasn't originally from Paris. Of course Tobi had manipulated her a little bit with his eyes, but Tobi had mainly been able to get answers because of his brilliant yet downplayed ability to act.
"WOOOW! Paris is really grand at night," Tobi had put on his high-pitched "nice guy" voice, the idiot persona that had tricked so many Akatsuki members.
"I'm glad you like the view, Gwen had the same reaction when we first got here," the middle aged woman said.
"I did not," the dark haired girl muttered.
She had dyed her hair, Tobi could tell from the roots that she used to be a blonde, and that her hair was once longer. The older woman however looked the same as she always had, though she had lost a bit of weight recently because of a lack of eating. May Parker was a woman who had lost so much, and today Tobi intended to find out exactly why she was so depressed.
"Thank you for taking me in Mrs Parker, it was really nice of you to tell me everything that was going on, though I wonder you seemed pretty quick to help me, why is that?" Tobi asked.
"It wouldn't have been decent to just leave you to fend for yourself in the streets, my husband and nephew had taught me to help other people, especially strangers," May said.
"Hmmm, interesting, most people don't trust one another where I come from, our villages are separated by gates and symbols, yet we all have the same language. Why did you leave your home though Mrs Parker? What happened to your husband and nephew?"
May lowered her head slightly, causing Tobi to wave his arms around frantically.
"Oh you don't have to say anything if you don't want to, it was too rude of me to ask you such a thing…"
"My nephew died recently," May said, burying her face in her hands.
Tobi waited patiently, allowing the woman to cry. He felt a small tinge of sympathy for her; she was another victim of this cruel unchanging world. She had lost her precious people because of the ignorance of those that claimed to be in power. Though May Parker was just like the other people of this planet, Tobi sensed an inner strength in her, a quality of her personality.
"He was a hero, Spider-man they called him, he followed the doctrine my husband set, "with great power comes great responsibility."
Manhattan
The area was suddenly covered in smoke and the smoke quickly passed to reveal hundreds of clones of Naruto. Kitty widened her eyes at the sight while the two boys beside her whistled.
"Impressive show whiskers, but can you do this?" Bobby asked as he changed his hands into gigantic ice knives.
"Mutant targets confirmed Robert Drake, Katherine Pryde, surrender or…"
"ODAMA RASENGAN!"
Naruto and four his clones suddenly slammed an improved version of the Rasengan into the back of the Nimrod. Rogue gasped as the Rasengan's Chakra pelted through the sentinel's barriers. The attack struck the Nimrod's armour, creating a dent and throwing the Sentinel forwards. Naruto and his clones ran at the other Nimrod, which quickly turned to face them.
"Mutant gene not detected, hostile behaviour still shown, engaging defensive measures," the Sentinel said, the flaps on its chest opening.
The Sentinel raised its arms, firing a multitude of energy blasts. Naruto ran as fast as he could, jumping to avoid the blasts that killed his clones. He got four more of his clones to gather and sent the others after the Nimrod. Holding his hand out, Naruto began gathering Chakra, while his clones swirled the Chakra around and poured the wind element into its centre. The rest of the clones attacked the Nimrod, which was quickly joined by its damaged friend.
"We're not letting him have all the fun are we?" Bobby asked.
"Definitely not," Johnny grinned.
"Wait you two, leave the machines to me," Kitty said.
"Kitty wait," Rogue's warning came too late as one of the Sentinel's barriers knocked Kitty back.
Kitty got off the floor, wiping the dust off her shroud.
"That's weird, that's not usually the reaction machines get around me," Kitty said.
"Obviously they've learnt from past mistakes!"
Kitty looked to her side, seeing the dark haired boy with the sword. She stepped back in shock as electricity surrounded his blade. Sasuke traded only a sideways glance at the girl before running at the Nimrods. The machines threw both Bobby and Johnny back, leaving room for Sasuke to charge. Jumping forward, Sasuke swung his sword downwards at one of the Sentinels. The sentinel quickly flew out of the way, firing an energy blast at Sasuke. He crossed his arms in midair, preparing an electric field to at least insulate himself from the blast. Sasuke suddenly felt someone grab him from behind. Kitty wrapped her arms around Sasuke, fazing him through the Sentinel's energy blast.
"I don't know who you or your friend are but we don't have time for this, we need to retreat right now," Kitty said.
"Let go of me Pryde," Sasuke growled.
"How do you know my name?" Kitty asked.
"He's seen inside my mind Kitty, he's read my memories, but I've also seen his memories too and I've taken some of his powers, I'll provide us with some cover," Rogue said.
Rogue ran forward, looking at the Sentinels. She thought of the black flames, the flames of Amaterasu that would burn any object the user would look at. But much to Rogue's shock nothing happened and the Sentinels resumed their assault.
"THAT COVER WOULD BE REAL GOOD ROGUE!" Kitty yelled.
"I don't know what's wrong, I have access to the knowledge of Sasuke's abilities but I cant use them," Rogue said.
"Its because you haven't carried out the necessary requirements and I'm betting from your life you never will," Sasuke said.
"Necessary requirements? Got no idea what that means, but I do know is that its required and necessary of me to cut these Sentinels up," Iceman grinned as he slid towards the Nimrods.
"Give me the sexy Tricia Helfer Cylons and I'll be happy," Johnny said.
Iceman slid down his ice slide, brandishing his transformed arms. He flew straight towards one of the Nimrods, intending to cut the machine apart. But suddenly and unceremoniously the sentinel clotheslined Bobby, taking off his right hand. The hit knocked Bobby off his slide and straight into Johnny's arms.
"This must be a really embarrassing moment for you," Johnny grinned.
"Get him out of here Johnny, meet up with us at the rendezvous point in twenty," Kitty said.
"Sorry, the what?" Johnny asked.
"Its on Bobby's phone," Kitty sighed as she turned to the Sentinels.
Sasuke deflected several blasts with his sword as he ran towards Rogue. He grabbed her by the collar of her shirt, lifting her off the ground.
"Damn it those idiots are going to get themselves killed," Kitty broke off into a run, intending to dive towards Sasuke and Rogue.
"Kitty wait," Johnny called to her, but his voice was a blur to Kitty.
She was inches from reaching Sasuke and Rogue when the second Nimrod suddenly appeared over them.
"Lethal force authorised," the sentinel said as it opened a hatch on its chest.
"ROGUE GET OUT OF THERE!" Bobby yelled.
"FUUTON: RASENSHURIKEN!"
Sasuke grabbed both Kitty and Rogue, jumping as far as he could. Kitty caught a glimpse of the blonde haired boy in midair. He threw a spiralling shuriken at the sentinel, hitting it head on. Much to the collective shock of the former X-men, the exploding shuriken tore through the machine's armour. Hundreds of Chakra blades cut apart the sentinel as the resulting explosion of the Jutsu threw Naruto and the other sentinel back. Naruto landed in the arms of Kitty, who immediately phased into the ground. She phased straight into a subway car, hitting the wall with her passengers.
"Your all lucky I've got layers on," Kitty groaned.
Naruto's eyes swirled as he lied in a heap at the hooded girls feet. Sasuke stood up, pointing his sword at Rogue, much to the shock and terror of the other passengers.
"Give me back the Sharingan," Sasuke growled.
"I can't just give it back Sasuke, its more complicated than that," Rogue said.
"All right that's enough you two, and could one of you tell me why that guy's looking at us as if he has no idea what we're saying?" Kitty asked.
"Sasuke why are you talking funny and why are you pointing your sword at that girl?" Naruto asked.
"He's speaking Japanese, but he doesn't even look like a native to Japan," Kitty said.
"Its not polite to point you know," Naruto said, pointing at Kitty like she did.
"Look if you understand any kind of English then get this, do…as…I…say…and…you'll…live!"
"Baaa…kaaa!"
Kitty knew enough Japanese to hit Naruto across the head for what he said. Naruto was now sprawled out across the floor, a bump extending from his head as Kitty turned away with a huff. Rogue sighed, seeing that Kitty's temper hadn't changed. But her "mission" still applied, she needed Kitty to help her. Sasuke and Naruto however were not part of the plan, yet Rogue felt strange feelings that she must have absorbed from Sasuke. These feelings told Rogue to believe in Naruto, yet at the same time she felt a sense of sorrow and regret that she couldn't explain, and also anger that she felt was justified despite knowing that it wasn't. Rogue walked past Sasuke and Kitty, walking towards Naruto as he got up.
"Well, it seems women aren't so different here than they are in Kono…mmmff!"
Naruto, Sasuke and Kitty's eyes were as wide as saucers as Rogue pressed her lips into Naruto's. But it wasn't just a quick peck; she had actually put her tongue down his mouth as well. Rogue pulled her mouth away from Naruto, the Sharingan fading from her eyes. Naruto blinked in confusion before standing up.
"Why did you do that?" he asked.
Sasuke and Kitty both widened their eyes, but Naruto didn't seem to notice.
"I mean sure I saved you guys and I know I look cute but there was no need to kiss me and the tongue was a little much. Sure your hot I'll give you that, hell hotter than Sakura but I'm not attracted to you, there's a sweet girl back home waiting for me and I'm sure your nice too but she actually said that she…"
"Naruto you're an idiot," Sasuke interrupted the blonde.
"Take that back Sasuke, hey wait I can understand you," Naruto said, stepping back in shock.
"ITS CAUSE YOU'RE SPEAKING THE SAME LANGUAGE IDIOT!" Kitty yelled.
"I'm speaking the language I've spoken all my life, and…you're a girl?" Naruto asked, only just seeing Kitty's feminine qualities.
Again Kitty punched Naruto, causing Sasuke to sigh. The more things changed the more they seemed to stay the same. They exited the subway station and with Kitty's help managed to reach the rooftop they were meeting the fiery guy and the iceman. Bobby was pouring water onto his stump, using it to regenerate his lost arm. Johnny was still in his fiery form, floating centimetres away from the ground. Rogue leaned against the side of the building, while Kitty removed her mask and hood.
"Now that we're safe I've only got one thing to ask you Rogue, what the hell were you thinking?" Kitty asked.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get anyone hurt," Rogue said.
"Wait, you mean you caused that riot?" Naruto asked, stepping in between the group.
Sasuke stood to the side, his arms crossed as he watched the confrontation. Kitty told Naruto about everything the news had told them. Rogue had suddenly attacked the authorities and attracted the attention of the Sentinels, mutant-hunting robots.
"I had to get their attention," Rogue said.
"Get their…ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I don't know if you noticed this but when we get their attention they shoot as us!"
"Shoot at you, you make it sound like you don't even need to attack them for them to shoot you," Naruto said, looking at Kitty.
"I did what I was told to do, I'm really sorry guys," Rogue kept her back to the group, unable to look at them.
"Who told you to do this? If I protected you I want to know why you started the fight in the first place?" Naruto asked.
"He told me to take the bus to New York…he told me they'd find me and that Kitty would rescue me, he told me to kiss you too Naruto," Rogue whispered.
"Wait, she kissed this guy?" Bobby asked, shooting a glare at Naruto.
"Who the hell told you to do this?" Kitty asked.
Rogue turned away from the building's edge and uttered one word that silenced the group.
"God!"
The expressions on the group's faces were beyond shocked. Only Sasuke remained composed.
"God told me that you'd save me Kitty, that you'd save all of us, this is all part of his plan," Rogue explained.
The group remained silent for a moment, but only a moment.
"Ha! Bobby dated a crazy chick," Johnny said.
Naruto turned to Sasuke, giving him a look of uncertainty. Sasuke stepped away from the wall, sighing as he rubbed his head. He walked a few centimetres away from the group before falling to his knees. Naruto rushed over to Sasuke, leaving the group behind.
"Sasuke, are you okay?" Naruto asked.
"OF COURSE I'M NOT OKAY!" Sasuke screamed.
Sasuke punched the floor in frustration, drawing his sword from its sheath. He gripped it tightly, drawing blood from the palm of his hand. Kitty and Naruto approached him cautiously. Naruto sighed as he looked away.
"You've seen what kind of world this is, yeah that's it isn't it…we're not in the elemental countries anymore we're not even in the same plain of existence," Sasuke explained, glaring at Naruto.
Naruto rubbed his head slightly; the flood of information he gained from Rogue kissing him had been like the information he gained from his shadow clones. He hadn't even been completely aware of it until he actually stood still and thought about it. They weren't home anymore; they were in a world on a continent called America. It was a country that had recently taken responsibility for creating a race of supposedly evolved humans known as mutants. After a mutant tried to destroy the world, the American government passed a law that made it legal to shoot mutants on sight if they didn't conform to the demands of the authorities. Riots had been started and hundreds killed because of hate and fear.
"A place worse than our own, a whole world where people can be destroyed simply because they have power that others don't. Its one giant big FUCKING UCHIHA MASSACRE!" Sasuke yelled.
"But that's not the worst of it," Naruto muttered as he turned to Kitty and her group. "The people that can do something about this don't, why?" Naruto moved forward, looking Kitty in the eyes. "Something's happening in front of you that's clearly wrong and you can do something about it, BUT WHY DON'T YOU!" Naruto yelled.
"BECAUSE WE'VE HAD TO BURY FRIENDS!" Kitty snapped, shocking Naruto slightly.
He overcame his shock and firmly gripped Kitty's arms.
"And instead of honouring those deaths you turn your back to those in need, you're a damn coward," Naruto said.
Kitty grit her teeth together before punching Naruto across the head. Johnny and Bobby backed away in fear as Kitty clicked her fists together, approaching Naruto's downed form.
"I don't know how things work in your "world" but here its different, I'll give you a little taste of reality: people die and that's it, there's no distinction between good and evil here. People try to play hero and they get themselves killed, there's no version of these events were we get a happy ending, and don't you dare try to tell us otherwise, once you understand our loss then you'll know, the good and the heroic and brave, they are the first to die," Kitty explained, gripping the collar of Naruto's jacket.
"But, everything that's going on around here, its wrong, just pure wrong!" Naruto whispered.
Kitty lowered her head slightly, hearing the pain in Naruto's voice.
"It's the way our world has become and the only way we're going to survive is by keeping our heads down. The argument of whether we can coexist with others is over, both Xavier and Magneto failed," Kitty said.
"No one ever fails so long as there are people left to take on their dream," Naruto said.
"And how are we supposed to do that without getting ourselves killed?" Kitty asked, pushing Naruto to the ground.
"I don't know, but I'll figure something out," Naruto muttered.
Sasuke huffed as he crossed his arms together. He put on the angst façade but was actually just as lost as Naruto. So long as they were here, Sasuke couldn't take his revenge on Konoha. Likewise Naruto couldn't become Hokage. Then there was this group of people they had ended up with, a group that was lost without a cause to call their own. Survival was a selfish goal, and though one might survive, they would never be remembered or admired. If anything they would insult the memories of those that died heroically to change things.
'Like Itachi saved the village so that it could live in its ignorance,' Sasuke thought. 'Then there's the "government" of this world. They ignored the sacrifices of the X-men and chose to condemn their people, these "presidents" and "prime ministers"…. they should die just like the Kages.'
"Lets just get out of here, wherever you guys are from your welcome to crash at our place, just until we've found a way to get all the crazy out of you three," Kitty sighed as she picked Naruto up off the floor.
"Crazy? We're not the ones dressed in a red cloak and mask," Naruto's quip was answered with another punch from Kitty.
Tobi sat in May's living room, taking in her story, a tragic story bought on by this world's chaos. The world had become a technological paradise, yet people still had not changed. That made the moon's eye plan all the more vital for this world so that women as good as May Parker wouldn't have to suffer.
"Kami, your boy was very brave," Tobi sighed.
"He was, I read in the papers that someone else is swinging around New York calling himself Spider-man, Peter has inspired others and that's why I know that his death wasn't for nothing," May explained.
"I see, so New York is the centre of all super human activity right?" Tobi asked.
"That's an understatement, everything always seems to happen in New York, I'm glad we moved here," Gwen said, leaning her head back on the sofa.
Tobi stood up, narrowing his eyes slightly as the ground began to shake.
"That wasn't my fault, its not like I said things can't get any worse," Gwen said frantically.
Tobi suddenly sucked May and Gwen into his body, teleporting just as something crushed their apartment. The masked man reappeared outside; Gwen and May popped out of his eye as he looked at what had attacked the apartment. It wasn't a coordinated or deliberate strike. May and Gwen watched in horror as a gigantic lizard crushed what was left of the building with its tail. Tobi looked around Paris, his Sharingan showing him the chaos that had engulfed Paris. A gigantic snake had wrapped itself around the Eiffel tower, while a Chameleon picked up several civilians with its tongue. Tobi looked into the sky and saw not only numerous flying beasts, but a singularity much like the one that had spat him, Sasuke and Naruto into this world.
"A butterfly effect I see, we aren't the only ones that were suddenly dropped here," Tobi said darkly, his friendly "nice guy" voice gone.
These giant creatures were untamed summoned animals, dropped into this "ultimate" universe from the world all summoned creatures came from. Tobi adjusted his mask and gripped the sword on his back.
"Mr Tobi, what are you doing?" May asked.
"The kind of thing your Nephew would have done," Tobi said softly.
He smirked at the unexpected opportunity. Step one of the new plan was earning the world's trust. With that set in his mind, Tobi jumped off of the roof and towards the battlefield Paris had become.
"For the last time, I'm…not…CRAZY!"
"And for the eight time, what your saying is impossible!"
Bobby and Johnny both had their heads low as they listened to Kitty and Naruto argue through the sewers. Rogue remained in passive, while Sasuke's eyebrows twitched.
"This is getting tiresome, one of your friends was supposedly possessed by a god, there's someone out there who actually claims to be a god and a bunch of other things that are impossible, why cant you believe this?" Sasuke asked.
"Because it just isn't possible, look at your clothes, Naruto's at least are sort of like ours, you say that there are whole villages that live and survive on technology based on the warring states era of Japan but that's impossible, how do you people survive without technology?" Kitty asked.
"We survive because we focused on our own development and not technological advancement," Sasuke said.
"They're right Kitty, I saw it with Sasuke and Naruto, they are from another world," Rogue said.
"And your word isn't the most trust worthy, god didn't tell you to do anything Rogue, you've gotten…post traumatic or something, it was bound to happen to one of us eventually," Kitty explained.
"Hell I'm starting to think we are crazy, we end up in a world where someone can be shot on a whim and no one tries to do something about it…scratch us being crazy this whole world must be insane," Naruto stated.
"Sssh- you guys hear that?" Bobby asked.
The group came to a halt and listened to a creaking sound echoing down the sewage corridors. Sasuke gripped his sword while Naruto reached for his Kunai pouch.
"Johnny Lights," Kitty ordered.
Johnny nodded his head, surrounding his arm with fire.
"Agh!" Johnny yelped as a boy walked out of the shadows.
Bobby laughed as Johnny lit his whole body alight. Kitty and Rogue both shook their heads while Sasuke and Naruto remained on guard.
"What's that thing behind you kid?" Naruto asked.
"Oh this, he's my brother Joshua!"
The bobby remained calm as a giant insect creature slithered past him. Johnny and Bobby both fell down, looking at the monster in shock.
"I-I don't see the family resemblance," Bobby said.
"Hi, my names Jason, are you the Morlocks?" the boy asked.
Sasuke and Naruto looked at one another in confusion, while the rest looked at Kitty for leadership.
"No, what gave you that idea?" Kitty asked.
"My friend said these are the Morlock Tunnels," Jason said.
"So much for secret hideout," Johnny sighed as he returned to human form.
"Whoever you people are could you help my friend?" Jason asked, walking back into the tunnels.
Naruto and Sasuke followed, widening their eyes at their new surroundings. The Morlock Tunnels looked more like a small town than sewer tunnels. This place could support a whole settlement, yet it was near empty. Jason walked over to a blonde haired boy. His hair was wilder than Naruto's and a torn and bloodied white vest covered his body.
"Jimmy," Kitty said, rushing to the boy's side.
Whoever Jimmy was had obviously been in a hell of a fight. Bullet wounds and scratches had covered his body.
"He risked his life to save me and Joshua," Jason sighed.
"Come on, lets get him to a bed quickly," Kitty said.
Johnny and Bobby lifted the boy's arms over their shoulders and walked him towards one of the bedrooms. That left Naruto, Sasuke and Rogue with Jason and his brother. Joshua, the insect creature slithered to his brother's side, whispering something in his ear. Naruto listened intently, but his eyebrows twitched as Joshua spoke in a series of clicks and grunts. But Sasuke was more observant than Naruto, he noticed the insect's gaze going over to Rogue occasionally.
"Really?" Jason asked the insect, whom nodded in response.
Sasuke leant against the wall, crossing his arms together as he focused the Chakra in his eyes. Rogue didn't have the Sharingan anymore, but Sasuke still couldn't use his clan's signature Jutsu. Minutes passed and Kitty walked into the room, wearing a pair of shorts and a baggy shirt over her tank top. Naruto's eyes widened slightly at how "feminine" Kitty looked now.
"Okay I want some explanations, some real explanations, Rogue how did you not end up killing Naruto when you kissed him?" Kitty asked.
"I don't know, I was just told to kiss him and somehow I transferred some knowledge to him, language, memories…"
"And news, like how your friend was killed," Naruto said, walking past Rogue and looking Kitty in the eyes.
Kitty lowered her head slightly while Naruto placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"One of your friends died right?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah, one of our greatest friends," Kitty whispered, thinking of Peter.
"So instead of his death inspiring you, you use that as an excuse to not take action," Naruto said.
"No I…" Kitty paused as she stepped back slightly.
She began to think, was walking away like this really something Peter would have wanted? Kitty remembered something Peter used to say when they dated.
"With great power comes great responsibility!"
"Your not the only one whose lost someone, part of losing people is knowing how to move forward," Naruto said.
"Just what the heck do you know about it?" Kitty demanded.
"You were on your own right from the beginning!"
"For the longest time I was alone, but then I made friends and the loneliness went away. Sakura, Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke, they're all my friends," Naruto explained.
"You and I are not friends, we are enemies Naruto," Sasuke said.
But Naruto ignored Sasuke's statement and spoke on.
"I formed bonds and found out that I was never alone, that my parents sacrificed themselves so that I could survive and make my dreams come true. I found out the hard way that someone always loved me, and I've lost people too. The third Hokage who was always like a grandfather to me, his son Asuma-senpai, my sensei the pervy sage who I found out named me, I known it sounds corny but…the old man, the pervy sage, mom and dad…they live in me so long as I keep fighting for the things that they valued…"
"Stop talking nonsense idiot," Sasuke suddenly snapped. ""They live in me", don't be so ridiculous, the dead are dead it doesn't matter what you do for them afterwards," he said.
"Is that why you're willing to kill off the entire village, when your brother sacrificed everything to keep it safe?" Naruto asked.
Sasuke growled as he gripped the handle of his sword. Suddenly, a cloud of smoke appeared between Naruto and Sasuke. When the smoke cleared, Kitty and Rogue looked at what had appeared in total shock.
"GAMAKICHI!" Naruto yelled.
The orange skinned toad looked at Naruto, a smile crossing his face.
"Yo Naruto, I see you've ended up here too, what happened to your headband?" Gamakichi asked, speaking in Japanese.
"Oh that got lost, but I'll find it," Naruto said.
"Naruto, why are you talking funny?"
"Eh, oh I'm still speaking English…I lost my headband but I'll get it back," Naruto switched his voice to a Japanese tone.
"I've been speaking with my dad and the other toads, there's a big problem that we need your help to sort out," Gamakichi said.
"What's going on Gamakichi?"
"We cant get back to the Shinobi nations, we haven't been summoned for hours, in fact its happening to all the Kuchiyose's, the great toad sage suggests that the "barrier between the worlds has been broken"," Gamakichi explained.
Sasuke and Naruto both widened their eyes slightly. They wondered whether this had anything to do with that strange pillar they saw before entering this world.
"Anyway message delivered, who are the hotties?" Gamakichi asked, looking at Kitty and Rogue.
"THIS IS NO TIME FOR PERVERTED ANTICS GAMAKICHI!" Naruto yelled.
"Beasts are slipping into this world Naruto, don't get too caught up in your own problems that you lose sight of the real threats out there. Dad offered a bit of advice, keep your head down until you figure out a way to get back home."
"I cant just turn my back on the problems happening here, in fact I wont turn my back," A determined expression crossed Naruto's face as he slapped his fist against his palm.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes slightly at Naruto. The young man hadn't changed at all. Even in this situation, he still fought for what he saw as the right thing. Yet he couldn't see how wrong it was for the village to have lived off of Itachi's sacrifice. He thought back to his reunion with his brother, when they fought Kabuto. Itachi refused to talk Sasuke down, he said something along the lines of "that is not my role".
'Did Itachi believe that you could "save" me Naruto? How can you save me when I don't even need saving?' Sasuke wondered.
Naruto turned to Kitty and Rogue, flashing his signature grin as he raised his hand into a thumbs up sign.
"All right, that's my promise, I'm gonna change the world and make sure nobody else dies, believe it!"
Next Chapter 3: Spiral Mask
Next time we focus on Tobi as he makes his mark in Paris, plus Naruto and Sasuke settle into the Morlock tunnels.
Hope everyone enjoyed the chapter, I've had some thoughts for this story and I was wondering, does anyone think Naruto and Sasuke should get costumes? I originally intended them to just stay in their ninja garbs but I'll probably at least have them both wear a costume once.
Anyway thanks to anyone whose going to continue reading this story
