Whaz up ladies, gents an' other! I've said this too much recently, an' I'mma say this one, last time: I'm sorry for the late update time. This's the only warnin' ya'll're gettin' in this story. All'o my stories're part of a single universe, the lore bleedin' through the cracks'o reality an' characters torment the ground with their feet as they dance to the beats'o their own hearts. If anyone really gives a shit, can ya'll please look through my earlier chapters to see what's missin' in these more recent ones? I noticed a drop in favorites and follows and I reread my earlier chapters with a revelation hitting me: I lost touch with somethin' from the earlier chapters of my stories. Naruto an' all'o the universes I add into mine aren't my property.

"Tell us who you are!" Came the shout of a pissed Tsunade, her fist flying into the Kitsunin's stomach as he flew back into the wall of the darkened room, arms bound behind his back with chains and cuffs around his ankles to stop him from running. With a groan of pain, he fell out of the indentation his impact had made into the stonework, falling to a kneeling position before vomiting up his lunch along with a lot of blood. After he stopped puking, Naruto looked to the lookalike of his niece with a glare, his violet eyes unnerving her with their unearthly glow of power.
A dark, sick chuckle left him as he rose to his feet, arms and legs flexing in readiness. "Ashes to asses," Went his demented singsong as he started to loosen the chains. "Dust to fuck!" He growled out dangerously, making Tsunade leap into the air with her fist cocked back in preparation to punch her favorite blonde brat's attacker. "You shouldn't have hit me like a GODDAMNED TRUCK!"
Before Tsunade could land her punch, however, Naruto broke the chains and cuffs with a powerful pulse of Killer Intent coming soon after, sending her flying backwards. Taking his chance, Naruto flew through handsigns and ended it with a slam to his stomach, removing the seal the wood-user had placed on him. He chuckled again, his laughter growing into insane cackles as he released all of his Killer Intent on the village he had landed in. "I hope you're ready to pay for your actions, girly," Came the Jinchuuriki's threat. "Because you've messed with the most powerful of the Jinchuuriki, and WE'RE BOTH PISSED/PISSED!" Having roared that, Naruto vanished, reappearing in front of her with his claw-like hands lunging for the buxom blonde before him, said woman's eyes wide with shock at the power he exuded before Kakashi leapt out of the shadows with an intercepting punch to the redhead's face.
"You're not," Kakashi said sternly. "Hurting the Hokage, impostor!" His words made Naruto begin cackling again, his pain fading away from his large reserves of youki.
"Impostor, am I? Well, hehehehe..." Naruto said cruelly, his eyes flashing red for a minute before fading back to slitted violets, making the grey-haired cyclops flinch in recognition of those red, slitted orbs filled with depravity. "I guess the actor must be paid his due before he can play the part, right?! So, wannabe Vinur Morðingi," The bewhiskered fox-lover lost his depraved sneer to simply glare at the one he saw pretending to be one of his possessions. "Are you going to pay how I ask or am I going to have to take away everything you protect before I get answers?!"
They stood there, eyes locked on each other in anticipation for the other's next move. It was the Sharingan-user who made the first move, this being one of guarded openness. "What do you want to know?" Eye still serious and his body readied to attack or defend, Kakashi loosened up a little as the fox-like invader did the same.
"Where am I? Why do you look like my possessions? And why is there a blonde wannabe trying to look like me?!" Naruto's accusation of the blonde whirlwind being a wannabe was met with a hateful glare from Kakashi, his Killer Intent leaking at this invader's hostility towards his student.
"Our village is called Konohagakure no Sato, I don't know what you mean when you say we look like your 'possessions', but I do know that Naruto isn't a copy of anyone and that your attacking him was unwarranted on every level." The redhead growled lowly at the use of his name in reference to anyone else but himself.
"Bullshit! I've been to Konoha and this place, although realistic and almost indistinguishable from it, isn't the village that abused me. Oh, and that blonde you use my name for is weak! Barely any youki was used when I attacked and he still lost his arm because of his inability to create a Rasengan on his own." Out of the shadows strode Jiraiya, a menacing glare on his face as he looked at the fox-like ninja wearing his village's insignia on his brow.
"Deny this as Konoha or not, Naruto's not weak and I think I understand why you recognize us but don't know us-" A snarl answered the perverted Sannin as he approached the redhead, making him slam his fist over the fox-loving Jounin's head with authority. "DON'T INTERRUPT ME!" It was in that moment that Naruto felt a glimmer of hope.
Falling onto his ass, Naruto shook his head before staring at the Sannin before him. "You hit like Ero-Sennin would...What's your theory, old man?" A flinch was the immediate response at the jab at his age before he took a calming breath and continued.
"I think you accidentally ended up in another universe, one similar to yours in the case of the inhabitants but differing in the respect of events. When you fell on Naruto, you were confused and you recognized those around you with familiarity but the fact we didn't side with you let you know we're not your version of us. Due to these confusing factors and the fact there was someone who sounded and looked like you, you lashed out in confusion and anger. Do you think this could be the truth?"
Silence answered the Toad Summoner, Naruto's eyes wide with a minor amount of understanding and shock. It was a few minutes before Naruto clenched his fists and punched into the wall, cracking it and leaving a large indent which was followed by several consecutive punches full of rage and confusion. A roar escaped his throat, slamming his fists together in a strike on the wall. "DAMN IT! I NEED TO GET BACK! THEY MIGHT NEED ME, THEY COULD BE IN DANGER! Ég tilheyri ekki hér , tilheyri ég þeim...Ég tilheyri ekki hér , tilheyri ég þeim..." He stopped attacking the wall as he fell to his hands and knees, concern in his eyes for his kur and his possessions.
"What could have caused this, Jiraiya-sama?" Kakashi asked curiously.
"An unimaginably sudden increase and decrease in power." Tsunade answered in place of her teammate as she got up from the ground. "If all of the Bijuu were to release all of their power at once in an instant and then immediately suppress it back into themselves, there would be a short state of calm before things started disappearing from the location of the Bijuu. It's been theorized for teleportation technology, but no individual being has enough power to do that, so most scientists have dropped it. However..." She looked to the redhead at the other end of the room, his fists clenched and drawing blood as growling whimpers of confusion and powerlessness left him. "It looks like it's possible. The amount of power needed for this would have to be immense to cause the release of energy to start this, but the amount of control over that power would have to be impossibly greater than the amount of power to cut the output off so quickly to create the level of forced-equilibrium that the rest of the world wouldn't have a chance to breath."
"That thing!" Naruto snarled out, his body shuddering as his aura took the form of a fox around his body. "That thing's the cause of all this!"
"Come again?" Jiraiya asked.
"...An unknowably monumental serpent...we saw its head over Kirigakure and it released a lot of energy, but I think that was unintentional to the point it didn't even know it was letting that much out although it looked at me like it wanted something to happen. It did so for a few moments, the whole country shook! And then it was gone and its power was gone too. You said that the sudden lack of power would cause a teleportation effect resulting from the whatever trying to find equilibrium or some mumbo jumbo like that, right?! What if the amount of energy released were made to match an individual being's level of power? Do you think that could somehow make only one creature be transported?!" Naruto said this like an idiot, but a genius idiot as well. He wasn't a brilliant strategist or a perfect scientist, but the fact that he hadn't heard anybody else disappear or heard anybody calling for his possessions before he had been transported made it seem like he had been the only victim or the first if there were any others.
Jiraiya and Tsunade exchanged a look of thoughtful contemplation before shrugging. "It's a probability. We'd have to contact scientists studying this subject and if that's the case, we'd have to find a way to duplicate the situation to get you back to your universe. Until we find a better guess, we'll need you to stay in the village and undergo testing to see if there are any differences in your universe's human anatomy from our's so we don't end up killing you. Now, don't think this is because we don't want you dead, this is so we can rid our universe of you for the safety of our loved ones and the casualty rate we'd suffer if we try killing you could be too great a risk...So for now, you stay in the village and remain under the watch of our shinobi!"
"I'll do everything you say if I can go back home to my kur, but I'm not going to let humans I don't recognize at least somewhat to watch me. Let he shinobi and civilians I know watch me and I'll behave as much as possible..." Naruto had a look of acceptance and comprehension of what was going on, but he had a bit of an uncertain glimmer in his eyes no doubt resulting from being thrown into a world where those he called possessions didn't know him for who he was.
"...We'll see what we can do as long as you don't kill Naruto!" Kakashi said this, eye stern in protective instinct surrounding his one of his remaining students.
A growl was Naruto's answer before it subsided to a harsh mutter, "Fine! But you'd damn-well better keep your end or I'll make your lives a living Hell!"
Tsunade glared at the redhead for threatening her before she let it go to allow reason into her mind, saying levelly, "Tell us who you're familiar with and I'll see about setting up a schedule to let them take shifts so they're able to tolerate you without lashing out. They know about your stunt of causing his arm to be obliterated, after all."
"That's fine, girly!" He said, voice raised in aggression. "Just make sure they're the ones watching me instead of ninjas I don't recognize at all, okay?! Believe me, my own kur can barely tolerate me for too long before lashing out at me. If you can get them to watch me, I'll be fine being tested and being under surveillance, alright?" After a few minutes of explaining to them the shinobi, civilians and others he knew, he fell silent. Turning around, he charged his entire body with youki and called out his first original jutsu, "Tsurga!" With his body charged, he spun into a twister of claws, blades and fists and drilled through the wall until he turned upwards and dug until he reached the surface on a mountain not far from the village, sunlight hitting his face and blinding him momentarily to reveal the Village Hidden in the Leaves.
Nothing changes, does it? He thought rhetorically before he transformed into a casually-garbed version of himself with goggles on his forehead and a pair of orange camouflage pants while his shirt was the color of a storm. With that finished, he strode into the village after climbing over the wall silently, looking at the buildings and filing away their names for later use to compare to his Konoha's shops and the like.
Several minutes later, Hokage Tower, Tsunade's Office
The Konoha Eleven had come as requested by Tsunade, her face a mask of seriousness. Each of them had looks of curiosity but they were hidden behind eyes of concern for Naruto and a need for answers. "Okay," Began the Hokage plainly. "The cause of Naruto's hospitalization is the target of your mission, however, you're mission is not to kill him-"
"You mean you know what did that to him and didn't tell us?!" Came Kiba's heated accusation, getting a stern glare from the Slug Princess which made him back down apologetically but nonetheless infuriated.
With a sigh, Tsunade continued with composure expected of someone in her position. "Yes, I know what did this and so does Sakura, however you all need to understand something before you're told what he is..."
As the Hokage gave them the rundown of what they were getting themselves into, being Naruto's friends, teammate and classmates, the Kitsunin walked up the Hokage Tower's walls to the window outside of his niece's alternate's office, a blank stare on his face before he caught sight of the shinobi who would be keeping surveillance on him for the time being. This feels so weird, so wrong! I know these humans, these people, yet they're nothing but strangers and anything except familiar...Headaches are going to be keeping me up for a while.
"Kit," Kyuubi said calmly, wisely and consolingly. "We're in the same boat on this and we'd best go along with what these versions of your possession's say until we get an understanding of this world. If we're to encounter the...," A low growl of hatred left the ninth Bijuu before he continued. "Would be you and I, don't attack. I know I said to kill them, but if we do so we might incur the wrath of the rest of this world's wannabe Bijuu and regardless of whether they're real or not, they're still bound to be powerful and more than a fair fight all together."
Behave, don't do anything drastic and keep my head low with my ears folded. No problem. The problem's that these aren't my possessions yet they look and act like they are! How am I supposed to deal with them? Act like everything's normal or do I treat them as strangers? My baby sister, my former playmates, my niece, my temporary students, my former wards and my challengers...They're not them but they Are! Looking at them, all I see are my possessions but when I pay attention I feel such confusion and separation...Rarely am I ever to ask you for advice, but what am I supposed to do Kyuubi?!
Seeing his vessel's conflicting emotions and uncertainty, a trait the daiyokai kitsune had found to be almost nonexistent in the Jounin, he said honestly, "I don't have the answers, Kit, and I doubt I will have them any time soon. That doesn't mean you can't find them yourself. Even though these aren't your possessions, kur and allies, they're still here and you should at least figure out a way to keep off their bad side. Besides that, I can't help you. On that note, your niece's copy is glaring at you..." Focusing back into the window, he found Tsunade to be sending a bone-chilling glare at him, making him glare back with his aura coming into visibility in the form of a transparent, ethereal fox encasing his body before vanishing at the sight of the pinkette's fist coming flying at his face.
Leaping off of the wall, Naruto channeled youki out of his feet, keeping him aloft while Sakura just stood there in shock with the window broken from her punch. "So," Naruto said emotionlessly, an unnatural phenomenon for both the Bijuu in his stomach and himself. "Have you explained to them their mission, girly?" Saying this, he looked to Tsunada with an empty stare which received him a nod. "Good," He muttered in relief. "Who has first shift?"
Out from behind the Hokage strode Tenten, her eyes a fierce glare while underneath that hatred swirled the eyes of a curious woman wanting to learn the secrets hidden within this stranger who remained in their air like a demon before her. "Let's get this over with..." Muttered the Weapons Mistress, Naruto nodding at her words before dropping to the ground quietly and craterlessly which was followed by him strolling off, Tenten following after him angrily.
Tsunade could only groan and rub her temples, exasperation and confusion floating through her mind. This is going to be a long time before we get him back to his world... She thought begrudgingly, anger at him for hurting her favorite knucklehead and for making his stay in their world somewhat pleasant after having hurt aforementioned knucklehead.
With Naruto and Tenten
Unstable would be the word that came to mind defining the atmosphere surrounding the two shinobi strolling through the streets at the moment. The last known Uzumaki remaining silent whilst the Weapons Mistress stewed at the fact she was stuck with the bastard who'd had the gall to hurt one of her friends. I didn't think this through very well. Naruto thought to himself disapprovingly.
"Not surprising, really. Although I must say the first one to take shift is somewhat attractive for a human of this village, her name not lying about her appearance by human standards..." Even the Kyuubi's lecherous words, as honest as they were, felt forced and awkward coming out of his mouth as well as unnecessary to the situation.
Internally gekkering unamusedly, Naruto 'said', Doesn't help me in making this easier for her or me, Níu Hala! I need to make this at least tolerable for her and the others if they're not going to try their hands at killing me. Wait, Tenten likes weapons and aspires to be like my niece to prove she's just as great a kunoichi as the great Tsunade. At least, our Tenten does...Oh fuuuuck!
With an uncomfortable, pitying chuckle, Kyuubi said, "Sadly, I think it's going to come to that, Kit. Better start now before you lose your chance...Now, I'm going to try to rest, the presence of that wannabe making me restless and sick to my stomach!"
Rest well, I guess...This is going to bite duuuust! Naruto growled under his breath after finishing his thought, the woman beside him not hearing it but noticing a mild change in the atmosphere around him. He looked to her now, his slitted, violet eyes meeting hers briefly before he looked away again. In that instant of eye contact, she'd seen something in his eyes that hadn't been there before and it seemed to be fighting for freedom from the cage that held it captive. This something pulled at her in a way she didn't recognize, her emotions being left alone as well as her thoughts yet a strange feeling of longing being in her person.
Although not of the sexual kind either, it felt interestingly similar while at the same time noticeably different from that sort of feeling. Deciding to make the first move, not wanting her opinion of Naruto to be corrupted by this poser and not wanting this entire experience to be stiff, awkward silence filled with aggression, she asked forcefully, "Nice weather we're having, isn't it?"
Oh wow that was smooth, Naruto thought sarcastically, choosing to remain silent but nod with a grunt of agreement. I guess I need to teach her how to start conversations when I get back or at least make sure she knows how to because that wasn't even close to passable. Looks like we need to change tones, maybe we should go to the poor District or-as the quote-unquote 'better people' call it-the Orange District. Hopefully, if I play my cards right, I can get her to at the very least try to sympathize with me and make moves to convert me or help me see the 'error of my ways' like the staff at that shop she works at...
Making a dull turn, Naruto started strolling through a few nondescript alleys with Tenten following behind, her curiosity now risen and her interest in the secrets this faker held becoming a more prominent feeling in her body before she reminded herself of who or rather what this guy was. Even if what Tsunade-sama said is true, how can we trust this guy? He says he's from another world, one like our own, but how can that be? Naruto's not a murderer or psychopath like how she said he fought at Training Ground 7. This guy, She thought as she jumped and flipped off a few boxes after him, her view of him ending when he landed behind a taller-than-her brick wall that seemed to act only as a divider between property lines. Running up and dropping to land feet-first on the other side, she saw him look at her from another alleyway, his back against the wall behind him and his arms crossed, violet eyes staring into her nurtured earth-brown orbs before he strode on down the alley which got her following after him.
He seems smart but not genius-level intelligent like Shikamaru or his father. Same goes for Naruto, he's as sharp as a knife but not sharp enough to cut through armor. And his posture, movements as well as altogether personality seems to be that similar to an animal. Like how he got over those hoards of boxes and that wall, he lunged forward like a predator about to catch its prey before rolling and then climbing up the wall by sinking those sharp, claw-like nails of his into the best spots for support. As she followed him to the end of the alleyway, she noticed that his shadow looked like a multiple-tailed fox of relatively large size, the shadows of people passing in the crowd probably causing this illusion along with the fact that he was crouched on all fours. His whisker marks were broader than Naruto's, more defined and looking like actual whiskers than just markings. Sharp, fang-like teeth shown and bared before a snarl left him, the crowd outside the alley not hearing it over the chatter and ignoring his presence with the misconception of him being a dog or something like that. Claw-like nails suck into the dirt, his slitted, violet eyes focused on several rats that were at the moment foaming at their mouths and hissing like mad.
The foaming-at-the-mouth rats went at the fox-like redhead, making him snarl at them and actually lung his head at them, mouth open in a threatening manner, followed soon after by him catching one in his mouth with the continuation in the form of him biting down on its stomach, killing it quickly, and then eating it messily. After he did that, he snarled menacingly and was quickly swarmed by the rest of the plague (Name of a group'o rats, not an actual sickness that can't be stopped by normal means for all'o ya who don't know the difference!) which began biting into his flesh and getting eaten by the feral-looking, Jounin-vest-wearing bastard.
Before Tenten could make a move to help him however, the rats were sent flying off of him and in all directions, many of them landing in the crowd, as he roared in pain and anger at being attacked by such weak creatures. It wasn't that he had anything against rats, in fact he found them pretty tasty as well as entertaining to play around with, but being attacked by them even when they knew it was futile made his rage grow. The crowd, now realizing he was there after freaking out at the presence of rats falling on them, ran away with a lot of the rats being trampled in the process. However, plagues of rats are large, and where once there were only fifty or so there were now a hundred replacing the deceased and wounded.
A playful, innocent chuckle came from the roof across from their alley, getting them to look up and cover there eyes from the light of the sun. "I'd figured the 'monster that beat the demon' wasn't something to made light of or underestimated if it were able to beat Konoha's demon, but everyone who talked about it didn't say it was strong, just crafty enough to outwit another monster. Taking this into account, I needed something to see if this was true or just gossip and oh-ho! Was I right!" Dropping down from the rooftop and landing with the grace of a well-trained shinobi, the stranger was revealed to be a young boy clothed in a pair of ripped and worn jeans as well as a string-cut shirt, the long sleeves of which had the feathers of several small birds and his jeans being attempted at being sewn back together with shredded newspaper strips and plastic beercan pack-strings.
Head shaved to a soft fuzz the color of baby blue and skin darkened grey-pale. Short stature for someone of the appearance like that belonging to a nine year-old and his feet and hands wrapped in several different materials as makeshift bandaging and gloves/shoes, he wasn't an intimidating sight. What was a bit of an intimidation factor would have to be the numerous tattoos over his body, his dark skin tone letting the tattoos blend in or the dark ink for the tattoos letting his skin blend into them. One tattoo was incredibly prominent even if it was nearly impossible to see. A pair of rats, the length of the respective rat's tail wrapping around his forearm while the body went up his bicep and shoulder for the eye of the rat to overlap with his own!
Suddenly, a look of surprise and honest apology came across his face. "Introductions, of course! How rude of me? My name is Horikawa Awakiroh, Genin of Kusa, head of my clan and for the time being your opponent, Sir..." He had said these things with a slight bow, one arm across his torso formally with the arm extended open-handedly as he made a gesture to give their names.
"Uzumaki Naruto, head of the Uzumaki clan, Jounin of Konoha and for the moment your opponent, Herra Awakiroh." Naruto said this with a nod of respect, still crouched on all fours before Tenten gave her name.
"Tenten, Chuunin of Konoha and uninvolved in this fight, Awakiroh-san." The way she said this was formally but not exactly respectfully since this kid had come out of nowhere and claimed to be a clan head even though he was just a Genin.
"Now that we're all on the same ground...let's kill each other, Herra Awakiroh!" Saying that with a bloodthirsty smirk, Naruto transformed into his six-tailed fox form and charged at the twerp who had seemingly caused the rats to vanish. Aforementioned boy nodded in agreement before waving his arm quickly in front of himself and causing several animals to appear out of nowhere, the tattoos on his body of corresponding animals glowing a strange light that didn't really have a color but more-like glowed an emptiness to the world that would be filled with time.
"Tomma Levande Djur no Jutsu!" Called out the boy, the beasts convening on Naruto and knocking him off the ground and into several stalls, most of which sold kitchen ware and food which brought pain to the fox. Sailing through the stalls with unintended flips, flails and sprawls, the Kitsunin regained his footing with a sinking of his claws into the ground before snarling and Shunshining to Awakiroh's side.
Opening his maw, Naruto's voice could be heard even when his lips made no movement. "Hala Dýrið Boltinn Tækni!" From his maw flew an orb of youki, the size not being very impressive but strong enough to make this fight more interesting. And it became just that! Appearing out of nowhere, a large ram headbutt Naruto in the face, causing the orb of youki to be fired off into the running-around-in-terror crowd not far from their confrontation.
"Stop," Tenten called out to them as they're attacks hit civilians. "Don't fight here!" Her words were heard by none as the screams of a terrified crowd drowned out her voice. Naruto leaped above the scrambling-for-safety mob, channeling youki out of the soles of his feet which made the very air seem like solid ground, and began scanning the stampede of humans below him when he was struck by a glowing fox the same size as his five-tailed form.
"Raseri Räven no Jutsu!" Came Herra's voice as he Shunshined right in front of the Kitsunin with a blade of glowing energy readied to slice Naruto's head right off when said redhead vanished from sight. Slicing a civilian as he came to landing instead of his target, Herra turned around to block an incoming strike which he blocked pretty effectively but he wasn't prepared for the innumerable others that shredded all of his glowing creations and started tearing away at himself.
"You think you're tough shit," Said Naruto, his voice sounding echoey and multiplied which made the crowd scream even more at the knowledge that the 'demon' had finally lashed out while Tenten and Herra noticed flickering images flying around the frantic crowd. "Do you? Have you ever trained until your bones shattered and waited for them to regenerate in an even more agonizing manner? Where were you when you were blowing off your limbs like I was when I was trying out new techniques?! Did you fight off years of hatred to get to this point?! IF NOT THAN YOU'RE NOT READY TO FIGHT ME!"
All of the flickers stopped and Herra found a half-fox-half-human foot(paw?) was embedded all the way through his abdomen, his spinal cord and vertebrae crushed along with his abdominal organs. Eyes full of shock, fear and attempts to comprehend what just occurred belonged to Herra as the world faded to black...
In Kirigakure
Laying there with eyes full of terror, failure to comprehend anything, and a void of intelligence, Naruto's body didn't even twitch as Anko moved him through the village to a safe place. What did you see that would do this to you? You never show fear, even when you're scared. Nothing on Earth could've done this to you...so what did? Her thoughts were interrupted by a jovial Isaribi who was practically bouncing every step of the way, making any guys nearby start gawking at her bosom which was met with Anko's snakes slithering into the shadows to paralyze them.
Catching sight of the older purplette, Isaribi waved when she saw her adoptive father's body hanging limply, lifelessly in her arms. "What happened?!" Isaribi demanded, her biological mother and adoptive grandmother looking to her solemnly as she answered.
"I don't know. We were talking about your training while we watched yours and Fuu's fight, when he just...petrified all on his own!"
"That doesn't make any sense, though! He's devoid of fear. Death doesn't scare him and he's never frightened! IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO TRAUMATIZE HIM ENOUGH TO DO THIS TO HIM!" Naruto's daughter shouted, the knowledge that something had terrified her father into petrification making her animal instincts start going wild. Sounds became cannons firing incessantly on her eardrums. Colors and shapes lost individuality, becoming formless meshes of nothing. Odors were sharp, cutting away at her mind and causing her nose to feel like it had been snubbed off. The very air was starting to hurt her skin, the sunlight feeling a hundred times hotter and burning her soul. Flavors of death, decay and disease began filling her mouth until she felt ready to vomit.
Fear didn't do this to her. This wasn't natural and she knew it. I'd better take out the source of this hurting! Emitting her killer intent, she began forcing all she could muster into it to make whatever was doing this to her to stop so she could operate properly. Unfortunately for her, what was doing this wasn't a human or a creature on the Earth itself...it was something she couldn't truly see but could sense and was suffering for that fact.
Unknown location
"What have you done?!" Demands Sleipnir, his voice full of rage and disgust. Maniacal laughter answers the warrior horse, his eyes hidden from view and the laughter grows louder. Looking where Sleipnir appears to be, a pair of violet orbs can be seen clearer than day. These orbs blink and water as the laughter intensifies to newer heights.
"You very well know what I've done," Answers back the cackling being with violet eyes.
Unknown location
(Cue: My Darkest Days-Save Yourself/Miki & Kaito-iNSaNiTY) Wild winds flew through locks of hair, the violet eyes of which stared at the being creating this wind. "The Serpent's Sin of Envy and the Wizened Serpent of the Skies, Quetza." A psychotic smirk crossed the male's face, his eyes glinting with mischief equal to that of gods. That expression was met with a snarl of warning from the female before him.
"Don't push it," She said dangerously. "Buddy. I'm on my rag and I don't need stupidity making me short!" Making a move to leave, she intercepted a punch from the psychotically smirking male with her open palm. "Only one more warning, kid: Don't push me..." Her aura became visible, a heavenly silver with a shimmer to match as it formed wings around her.
His smirk grew until his jaw audibly cracked and his cheek tore revealing sharp, broken bones and sharper teeth. "I'm not 'pushing it', Girly...I'M FUCKING DEVASTATING IT!" Letting out that cry, he began cackling insanely before letting his own aura come to view. A rabid orange vulpine, the fur laced with golden yellow and scorching red. The apparition's visage formed around his own, emphasizing his savage nature alongside his tragic history if the damaged areas on the apparition's appearance were anything to go by.
"THAN BRING IT, KIDDO!"
"YOU GOT IT, BITCH!"
Their warcries heard, they rammed heads before leaping back and preparing an attack made to inflict greater harm than necessary for a regular opponent. But they weren't regular, and they were far from being opponents using attacks necessary for short fights! "Spíral Hnöttur!" Called out the male, a glowing, spiralling orb of energy forming in his clawed hands.
"Guawysvern Darastrix Pazienra!" Roared the female, her aura engulfing her in a bright light before dissipating and leaving her a different creature entirely. Behind her head swayed long, whip-like horns more akin to antennae or wrongly-placed-whiskers, and at the back of her bottom jaw joint were blue feathers. Feathers and scales overlapped, their colors being majorly blue, white and silver. Down her spine rose finned spines, the position of which changed when she chose it. Powerful, regal and majestic wings spread from her back, the way she stretched like that of an awakened animal preparing for the day.
A long, prehensile tail uncoiled from around her body, a feathered, fan-like ornamentation gracing the end of her balancing appendage. Wicked sharp teeth were bared as her opponent neared her legless form, air being inhaled sharply and quickly enough to have a powerful blast ready and in a short amount of time. The male reached her as she prepared to blast him, his clawed hands thrust forward with the spiralling orbs readied to drill through the wind that the amphithere was about to unleash. (Uncue music)
Before their attacks could even reach each other or leave the creature, respectively, a clawed foot made an indent in the grassy dirt and the two being were blown back a fair distance relative to their respective size.
"KNOCK IT OFF!"
With Naruto
"I'm bored now that the fight's over." The Kitsunin muttered irritably, getting the weapons-user near him to grit her teeth with a tickmark forming on her face while she made the attempt to keep calm.
"You killed that Kirinin, several civilians and destroyed property and all you can say is that you're bored?" Anger stewed in the bun-haired kunoichi, making Naruto smirk proudly at his handiwork.
"Even I'll admit I wasn't very nice, toying with him like that, but there are ways to liven up the day...if you catch my drift..." Waggling his eyebrows as he turned around and stared her dead in the eyes, he burst out laughing at the sudden blush on her face as well as her futile attempts to hurt him with weapons she pulled out of the blue.
"DON'T DO THAT YOU DAMN HENTAI!" By now, Naruto was on the ground, holding his ribs and rolling around with tears in his eyes while the enraged student of Gai made slicing motions with her weapons that missed every time she thought she had him. "STOP MOVING!" Doing as asked, the redhead caught all of her blows before they could land an actual hit and rose in the blink of an eye before getting right into her face with a mischievous smile on his face.
"Catch me if you can," He called back to her after vanishing from her sight, waving at her like a playful child inviting one of his favorite friends to play. "Slowpoke, bun-nichi!"
His nonsense nickname and laid back attitude were the final push over the edge for the bun-haired weapons mistress. Finally giving into her rage, she unsealed several of her weapons and began chasing after the sprinting psychopath with the intent to make up for all of the times she didn't hurt him by dodging.
Sufficed to say, Naruto was having fun even if he didn't know what was going on around him. Throughout his entire life he'd lived by the policy that even if the world was harsh, entertainment should be sought out to bring back the true joy of being alive.

That's a wrap ladies, gents an' other! I've been thinkin' 'bout how to lengthen out this story a little bit 'fore goin' straight into the canon arcs unceremoniously and inorganically. Naruto's eyes aren't those of a human, so he can see things that humans usually can't and since he's seen the harsher side of life, he's insightful and enlightened to how the universe spins so his capability to see the giant serpent in the sky makes sense as well as how he saw the village tear itself apart in fear as he heard an' felt the ghosts freakin' out as well as the buildin's they inhabit start rattlin'.
Our boy's sporadic emotional state's due to his many-faced nature and personality that comes from bein' a kitsune. He's not stupid 'nough to think that killin' Leafnin'll solve his problems even if he finds it fun, so he's just enjoyin' himself as much as possible while stayin' within the parameters of the agreement as much as possible. As all ya'll know, Naruto's not a precision fighter and that's no truer than in this story where his position as a shinobi's that of a powerhouse, tank an' charger as well as saboteur/espionage-creator. We can see that in his fight with Herra, since he was usin' confusion to his advantage an' being somewhat destructive.
It's in his nature like his flirtatious advance on Tenten. He's bored after a fight which make excite him in several ways, which leaves him with a hard-on and nothin' to sate it. However, he sees an attractive young woman near him an' he decides to see if she's interested in a bit o' fun. When declined, he decides that he'll just screw some hapless bastard as a sexy chick.
Not much more I can think to talk 'bout, so as always: thanks for bein' here, R&R, constructive criticism, no flamin' my ass (it hurts) an' SEE YA-G'NIGHT!
