Okay, so Ominous is amazing seeing as almost always when I update, he's the first one to review. Yeah, the reason that I said that last chapter was bad was I think that the last part was a bit rushed, seeing as I wanted to get it over. Yeah, I'm not good with dialogue but apparently I can make a decent boss fight. And I might focus more on having Naruto fight bosses until the actual story starts. So last chapter Naruto was six and he completed his first dungeon. Again, a time skip, but not a year later. And most of you are probably thinking 'Why Elemental Remix! Your writing his amazing and all but why another dungeon chapter after you did one for the last two chapters? The reason why is because I got positive feed back and through all the stories that I read not one has Naruto gone to Kumo, he'd gone to Suna before he got into the Academy in some stories, but never has he gone to Kumo. I want to try this out and this is an experiment to see if you all like it!

Chapter Five

Skyline Archipelago

Naruto was excited, although a little bummed out but he was still excited. It had been nearly 6 months since the Hyuuga kidnapping fiasco, and Sarutobi had offered to take Naruto to Kumo with him so they could discuss the treaty a bit more in depth personally. The reason that Naruto was bummed, was that Sarutobi had told Naruto that he had to dye his hair brown, he had to wear grey contacts, and he had to cover up his whisker marks. He was forced to basically abandon everything that he liked back home, all because of the lame excuse that, "Kumo knew your parents and didn't like them so I want you to change your looks just in case that anybody might remember your parents and make the connection, it's for your protection if you want to go."

So he Naruto was, wearing black shorts instead of brown and wearing a navy blue hoodie instead of his normal black and burnt orange one. Underneath he had a light blue shirt instead of a orange shirt. Naruto however was allowed to keep his sandals seeing as everybody and their grandmother wore them. So here was Naruto travelling next to Sarutobi, using his mind to use his menu. To anybody else looking, the boy was spacing out or just found something interesting to look at but to his own eyes, he was currently reviewing his own skills.

Naruto Uzumaki Level 15

Points to spend-0

'Trainee'

Strength-40

Agility-40

Endurance-60

Vitality-60

Intelligence-24

Chakra-7500

Control-75

Naruto was proud of his stats, they were much higher than anybody's his age and although that wasn't saying much seeing as there were more people older than him than there were his age. Although he was much better than most genin who were a few years ahead of him although he wasn't better than him by much.

Skills

Mind of the Gamer Lv ?

Gives the gamer the ability to think clearly and uninhibited in the heat of battle or any where really, this skill negates negative de-buffs such as confusion and insanity. The mind can handle more strain and process information faster than others.

Eye of the Gamer Lv ?

The gamer has a good eye, and with that good eye the gamer can see the name, stats, and level of any shinobi. The gamer can also spot things easier and has a perfect memory, as well as a slower sense of time than everybody else

Body of the Gamer Lv ?

The body of the gamer allows the gamer to continue on and start using chakra and health in the stead that they run out of stamina and use stamina and health in the turn that they lose all of their chakra. The chakra and stamina of the gamer replenish faster and one night of rest can fully heal any wounds.

Those three abilities were the abilities than Naruto had dubbed the 'Gamer's Trio' because they all had something to do with him, the gamer and he hadn't needed to learn them, they just came naturally to him. They were all super useful and Naruto used them on a daily basis, even if sometimes he didn't realize it. But then Naruto looked at his non combat skills, while they weren't the greatest in the world Naruto had quite a few.

Cooking, Sealing, Drawing, Gardening, Chemistry, Sewing, Carpentry, Stealth, Pickpocketing, Survival Skills, Explosive Making,

That was just the tip of the iceberg on what the game could do, but Naruto hadn't had the time to delve into all of that or even get the proper level to go into all that. He had found out that it was possible to get Space-Time ninjutsu, and he was excited to implement that into his already impressive arsenal. Looking over the skills that he'd picked up from the spider boss he'd killed six months back, he remembered getting pumped up for the skills that he'd read. They sounded cool and could do a lot in the heat of battle, including but not limited to holding the enemy in place, launching himself across the battlefield faster than he could jump, setting invisible traps almost instantly, and the works.

Wire Techniques- Razor Web Level 4

Using both hands, the user whips the wires around the battlefield, latching onto everything from trees to rocks and using them to create a web of razor wire that can cut the player just as much as they enemy.

Wire Techniques- Wired Launch Level 5

Using one or both hands, the user latches onto something within the range of the wires and either pulls it to the user or the user towards it. Depending on the strength stat, the speed of the launch will increase or decrease.

Wire Techniques- Spiders Walk Level 5

Allows for the user of the technique to walk on the razor wire without getting hurt. This allows for the users to create webs of razor wire that the user can navigate in safely.

Wire Techniques- Steel Whip Level 4

Curl several strands of razor wire together to make a thicker and more durable strand, and although it isn't the fastest technique in the world, it does a decent amount of damage and can even cause (Cripple).

Naruto was proud of those techniques because if he tried, he could cut a tree in half with the razor wire, and he could do it from almost 100 meters. Truly the Wire Techniques were deadly and versatile. And although Naruto was no where near a master at the techniques, he was good enough to use the techniques in battle without hindering himself. Naruto let his eyes wander from the skill screen long enough to look at Sarutobi who mearly smiled back. It was nice getting to spend some time with his grandfather figure, even if he really wasn't paying attention.

Turning his attention back to his screen Naruto looked again at his other skills, all of them were nice, but Naruto had kind of left them off for the last six months when he was training, preferring to train his new skills, mainly his new bloodline which was Ice Release. His Ice Release was mainly defensive, yet Naruto had thought ahead and had developed some offensive moves for the ice bloodline.

Nothing really special just some ice spikes and a trapping move. But Naruto had found that he could make special ice mirrors that he could step into and travel from mirror to mirror at a speed that was higher than what Naruto could move on foot. Although the chakra cost was a little high for Naruto's liking, and so he'd declared to himself that it wasn't battle ready unless he was truly desperate. There wasn't much change other than the fact that he'd reached level fifteen and he'd gotten an achievement for it and the best part of the achievement {Fifteen before the Academy} was that all of the stat points he'd been carrying on him at that point was doubled from 25 to 50 and he'd leveled out some of his skills by increasing his control to 75 where Naruto deemed it an acceptable level for the academy, and then increased his strength, agility, and finished the rest of the points off on intelligence.

So Naruto was pretty happy with his stats, and he'd found a pretty handy skill, that he found was absolutely cheep in battle.

Pause Feature

When the gamer pauses the game, all time stops and only the gamer can move. Although the gamer cannot interact with the environment while he is paused.

Naruto figured that by just using the pause feature he could warp around the arena and around attacks simply by thinking 'pause'. It was so cheep, and Naruto figured that he would keep that little ability secret as long as he could, which he figure would be about the time he entered the chunin exams or when he got into a life and death situation. Or just use it in dungeons seeing as he didn't care about fighting monsters fairly or with even the tiniest bit of honor.

"Naruto you've been strangely quiet, a ryo for your thoughts?" Sarutobi asked Naruto who turned his head and mentally shut down his menu.

"I'm trying to remember if I brought those extra packs of instant ramen or not. I don't remember if I brought forty or fifty." Naruto replied, shaking his head.

Sarutobi shook his head smiling, Naruto never changed. Naruto however since using that excuse had gotten off track with his thoughts. Now he really was wondering if he'd brought those extra packs of ramen! Naruto pulled out a little book with a plain brown book, this was his checklist. He had a different checklist for different scenarios. Going to Kumo, was not one of the scenarios and was a sort of spur of the moment thing. Literally the old man had come to his apartment and asked if he and Kakashi wanted to join him in the trip to Kumo.

Naruto accepted using the excuse that he'd always wanted to see different villages, although it really wasn't an excuse because it was true. Going to different villages was a good learning experience, seeing how different villages ran things and new places. Naruto was going to take every chance that he could get to learn new things.

"Naruto look ahead, tell me what do you think that is?" Sarutobi once again snapped Naruto from his wandering mind again, and Naruto looked head on the path. Around him was the typical rocky path that was the center of Lightning Country. But in front of him, Naruto could barely see the front gates to Kumo, or just Village Hidden in the Clouds. Everything was built on rocky spires, and there were bridges leading to and from different rocky spires. Many of the buildings were either build in the spires, or on top of them and the tops of the spires had been cleared out to make was for large circular fields.

When both him and Sarutobi and, and the Anbu that were their escort reached the front gates, the chunin that was on duty greeted them and let them into the city, nobody batting an eye. Naruto looked around at everything in amazement, it was all so brand new for him. Unlike Konoha where everything was build from stone or wood, most of Kumo was built from stone and glass. In a ninja village, things were made from glass.

That meant that the Raikage trusted his ninja not to break anything, or the punishment for breaking things was that it came out of your wallet and many of the ninja learned to use the flat training fields that sat at the top of the biggest spires as to create more room. Sarutobi looked down at Naruto and smiled before reaching down and rubbing the top of Naruto's head.

"I'm going to meet with the Raikage, so you have two choices, either stay with me and be on your best behavior when we meet with the Raikage, or you can wander Kumo as long as you have two Anbu with you at all times."

Naruto didn't give it a second thought, "I'm going to wander until you get back."

"If you get lost remember that we are staying at the hotel right next to the Raikage tower. The Raikage tower is in the middle of the village and you cannot miss it Naruto, be safe and be respectful. You might be a guest but this is not your village, so respect others." Sarutobi smiled before turning and walking toward the Hokage tower where he would be meeting with the Raikage.

Naruto however turned and began walking through the buildings and along the bridges of Kumo, enjoying the scenery of Kumo. Sure Konoha had it's massive forests that were pretty, but it got old fast and nothing was really cool after a while. But all of this was completely new and Naruto wanted to see as much of it as possible. Yes he was aware of the two Anbu who were trailing him, they were his protection. And he was aware of the Kumo Anbu who were also trailing him, they were watching him for the Raikage to make sure that he didn't cause any damage.

Naruto wandered around for a couple hours, he bought some candy from a vendor and then went on his marry way. It wasn't until now that Naruto had found himself at the edge of one of the training grounds to Kumo that he saw the message.

Welcome to Skyline Archipelago

Average Enemy Level ?

Rewards- ?

Naruto literally stared off into space for a while, just looking at that message. He didn't know where the dungeons outside of Konoha were, so running into one here was really good right? Naruto hoped so because as soon as the Anbu weren't looking he through all caution to the wind, Naruto thought 'enter' and he disappeared from the world as if he was never there. Entering the dungeon was strange because normally everything didn't go black, and he didn't have the strangest feeling of falling when he normally entered.

Except when the light came, he found that he was falling! Clouds passed him by and Naruto found himself heading for islands, except these ones were floating in the sky. Naruto began flailing his arms and legs, as if that would slow him down, but when he was about to hit the ground Naruto slowed in mid-air and he landed on the ground just fine.

Clouds were rolling by, a soft breeze was also going by, the air was warm. Everything was just lovely, enough to make Naruto tempted to lay down in the grass and forget that he was actually in a dungeon.

Welcome to Stage 1- Plains

"This place is nice... OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT THING!" Naruto shouted as he looked at the giant bird in the sky that flew above him. It was a giant bird with pitch black feathers and a long curved beak. The eyes were blood red and the claws were knotted and twisted but the talons remained razor sharp. The bird opened up it's beak to reveal rows upon rows of razor sharp teeth.

Hell Bird Level ?

Health- ?

Dungeon Effect-

Due to the special dungeon, you will not get an enemies heath or their level. Although due to the dungeon effect, all time stops outside of the dungeon. The pause feature and tree walking also cannot be used in this dungeon.

Naruto stared at the birds and flicked his wrists, allowing a few lines of razor wire to come falling to the ground. Naruto kept his eyes locked onto the bird before he whipped is arm in the direction of the bird and manipulated the wires with his chakra. The razor wires quickly wrapped around the hell birds wings and then Naruto pulled. The bird went down without problems, after it's wing fell off Naruto walked over to where it shattered into pixels and picked up the loot.

Demonic Plumage- Material

The black and evil feather that came from a defeated Hell Bird. Used in crafting and making armor, when crafted into armor, weapons, or clothes, the Demonic Plumage adds 1% life steal for every Demonic Plumage added. Demonic Plumage are a special item and can only be farmed in Skyline Archipelago in the Kumo training grounds. So farm up while you can!

Naruto smiled, life steal sounded like it was really good and after reading the description he could only want to start farming the damned birds from hell even more.

Life Steal- Effects

When life steal is applied to armor or weapons, every hit onto an enemy will sap a percentage of health from the enemy. The higher the percentage the more health drained from an opponent, the amount actually taken is the percentage of the amount of damage that you do. Striking an opponent after your health is full will give you over-heal which will add onto your health up to ten times as much as the normal health. This over-heal does not go away until you are struck by an opponent or do something stupid to lose health.

Life steal sounded so useful! Naruto couldn't help but want it. It was like sending a fat kid into the candy store telling him he had unlimited funds and the shop just got a fresh shipment of new candy in. Except Naruto wasn't fat and it was the game telling him that these plumages could make it so that unless somebody one-shot him, or they were fast enough that he couldn't get a hit off, then he was going to be basically immortal.

Naruto eagerly looked around for more birds, but was disappointed when he could find any of them so Naruto waded through the long grass of the island that he was on. The dungeon effect although slightly annoying was nothing that Naruto could not handle, he could simply climb with the wires and his crystal claws, and he was a bit disappointed when he saw that he wasn't allowed to use the pause feature.

Naruto quickly reached the edge of the island, only to see that there were several more islands near by that were almost in jumping distance. So Naruto used his wires and launched himself over to the other island. This was much like the last island, with the tall grass, but it was a bit more hilly and had a few trees on it. Naruto took a few steps into the island and immediately was attacked by the birds of hell. Naruto decided that since he was getting swarmed by the birds, he activated one of his best defenses. "Ice Release: Dense Ice Armor!" Naruto was then enveloped by a thin layer of ice, which was causing a slow fog to roll off of him.

Although the ice surrounding him was thin, it was incredibly dense enough to match steel in strength. But it left the joints untouched so as to leave Naruto with enough mobility to actually move around. And that was were Naruto's crystal defense came in, although not as defensive as the ice, the crystal allowed Naruto to move his joints in and he used dense crystal to protect his joints and leave him with a mask of clear crystal that he could breath out of but would protect his face.

Naruto released his razor wires, which were sent straight at the birds who somehow dodged them but the wires gave chase to the birds and eventually all of the birds were defeated. Naruto picked up several more of the Demonic Plumages and he went his merry way happy to have gained almost 7 of them. He was going to get home after the trip, which would last about three days in Kumo and a week of travel back to Konoha, and after he got back he was going to make himself some fancy armor that had a ton of life steal.

But Naruto wasn't going to get ahead of himself just yet, he still had to defeat the enemies in the dungeon and then the Mini-boss and the Boss itself. And considering the birds, he knew it was either going to be a bigger birds or it was just going to be something that flew. Most likely something that flew seeing as Naruto couldn't help but notice that there were flying snakes coming at him.

Flying Snake Lv ?

Health?

Naruto sighed, why couldn't life make things easier for him? Oh well, if it did that then nothing would actually be fun for him and so Naruto again whipped the wires in the directions of the snakes, who expertly dodged them and kept coming at Naruto full speed. Naruto's wires gave chase but the snakes managed to evade his wires.

Deciding to use his head for once, Naruto figured that the wires would not work on the snakes and so when the first snake came into range his hand shot out and grabbed the head of the snake, crushing it and killing the snake. Naruto dodged the rest of the snakes that swooped down to try and bite him, before launching his wires at them. The snakes who tried to turn around in midair couldn't and were shredded by the wires.

Every second Naruto was only thanking himself for picking up the skills to use the wires, versatile and deadly a combination that Naruto loved. Naruto picked up the drop from the snakes and read the item description.

Celestial Snake Skin

The special hide of a flying snake, this celestial skin can only be found in the Skyline Archipelago in the Kumo training grounds. Can be applied to weapons, armor, or clothes in the making process. Using one Celestial Snake Skin will give an item 1% extra speed bonus.

Naruto smiled, but then quickly frowned this meant more farming. And then his mind wandered back to the dungeon effect. Naruto again smiled, he was ready to run himself into the ground with farming! God he was going to leave with all the ingredients that he possibly could. So Naruto, not finding anything on the island continued his search.

He liked this dungeon, the whole atmosphere was a whole lot better than the first dungeon which was just so bleak. But this one was bright and vibrant and just full of life and Naruto enjoyed it. Naruto immediately ran towards the edge of the island and jumped off the edge, before using his wires to grapple to another island. Naruto was enjoying himself, he didn't really have any responsibilities here and he could mess about, killing enemies as he pleased.

Naruto laughed a bit before he let the ice armor dissipate and he spun in place a couple times before landing on the ground and on the soft grass. He just stared at the sky for a bit, it seemed like hours but in reality it was just a few minutes. Naruto smiled before getting back up, and he sat cross-legged on the grass while trying something.

He'd seen some of the other ninja's wielding swords like katana's or ninjato's and Naruto wanted to learn how to use a sword but he couldn't find anybody who would teach him, so Naruto instead had been working on his own style. He didn't know what to call it yet but he was going to find something within his life time to call it.

Holding out his hands, Naruto focused his dual bloodlines and made dual swords. In one hand, a slightly pick slightly translucent sword, it was similar to a scimitar yet the blunt edge was completely straight and from the tip the blade came out into a sort of wave, before half way down the sword it came down and then resumed to be a wave again, but before the second 'wave' on the sword could go completely up, the blade turned at a sharp angle to meet up with the flat edge. There was no hilt or cross-guard, only a handle and the blade. (If you need a visual, look up a Chopper from Dark Cloud 2, kudos to you if you've played that game)

In his other hand was an exact copy of his sword but it was a foggy blue and slightly translucent in color. This was his Sword Creation ability.

Sword Creation lv 4

An ability to create different types of swords with an Ice or Crystal bloodline release, other bloodlines can create swords from their respective elements but cannot really create the sharp edge of a true blade. The first blade that is created when using this skill is normally the best blade to use.

Naruto smiled, it was an amazing ability because basically if Naruto got disarmed he could just create another sword without the worry of trying to get his blade back. Getting onto his feet, Naruto spun one of his blades in his hand and continued on in the dungeon, time might not have been moving outside but it certainly was moving on the inside of the dungeon. He didn't want to be here any longer than sunset in the dungeon.

Using his wrists instead of his hands, Naruto still managed to fling himself from island to island and after about two hours he had yet to find anything that would identify itself as the second floor to the Skyline Archipelago. That was until Naruto found himself staring at a large doom in the distance, it was in an island that seemed to be near the center of the dungeon. Naruto immediately began moving towards the dome, in a timely fashion yet also collecting any ingredients from monsters that he could ending up with almost 50 feathers and 30 snake skins.

Naruto stood in front of the dome, the entrance was right there a giant glass door that curved right along with the dome itself. Naruto pushed on the door with his knuckles and was the surprised when he phased right through the glass! Naruto fell into the dome and then landed on the ground with a grunt. He picked himself and his swords up and dusted himself off before he looked around. Welcome to Special Level 2, The Aviary. Naruto looked around, he wondered what kind of things that he could pick up in here.

Naruto walked along the path, tall metal walls surrounded him, and it wasn't long before the stone floor turned to metal as well. He appeared to be in a maze yet Naruto didn't let that get him down, he would just stick the right and NOT FALL DOWN THAT PIT. Naruto wind-milled and fell backwards, but his swords were lost in the black pit. He sighed, it was almost 500 chakra to produce those swords. Yet it had been enough time that he was completely full on both energy and health.

Naruto looked around and didn't see anything behind him or the sides. The only way around the pit was either jumping, which wasn't going to be an option seeing as the pit followed the hallway and turned a corner. So Naruto looked up and a devious smile crossed his face, there were floating loops for him to latch onto with his wires.

Bringing out his wires, he curled them all up with his chakra into thicker strands before latching onto one of the loops with on of the two whips. He then tested to make sure that he was safe and then swung to the next loop that he then latched onto with his wires leaving him stuck between two of the loops. Naruto then flicked his wrist and the wire attached the previous loop came off and he swung to the next loop before rinsing and repeating until he was able to reach solid ground around the corner.

Naruto began mumbling under his breath about the stupid game and it's stupid traps wanting to kill him. He continued on and stopped quite a ways away from the next trap which happened to have colored tiles. Red, blue, yellow, green, orange, and purple tiles were on the floor. Naruto stepped up to the tiles and then his foot sunk a little bit, causing Naruto to jump back.

Yet instead of the floor falling underneath him, some of the tiles just lit up. Naruto reluctantly stepped back onto the switch and then the tiles lit up in a certain order making short little tunes with it. Naruto only guessed that he had to follow the pattern or else something that he wouldn't enjoy was going to happen.

So building chakra into his legs, Naruto jumped from tile to tile each one lighting up as he landed on it. Naruto managed to make it all the way across in good time and continued on down the path of hell as he now dubbed it seeing as there were traps. About ten traps later and Naruto was getting a bit pissed he just wanted to go back to the islands and farm monsters instead of almost dying like this.

Luckily, the path of hell ended shortly and Naruto was able to enter a large circular room with large walls. Like the path of hell the walls and floor were made from metal and in the wall there were four holes in the wall that something of decent size would be able to get through. Naruto walked towards the center of the room and waited for the mini-boss to show up.

He heard the flapping of wings and looked around the room, and then at the holes trying to find which hole the mini-boss was going to be come flying through. Then Naruto looked up and a large figure crashed through the roof, and Naruto shouted, "Ice Release: Frosted Dome!" Naruto hid underneath a dome of ice as a shower of metal and glass came crashing down on top of him, as well as a lizard.

The lizard had wings, the lizard-man had wings! And a shield and a sword but it still had wings! Damn Naruto wanted wings, he would have to see if he could find a way to make wings that would allow him to fly with his dual bloodlines. Naruto formed his swords and the let the barrier dissipate before he looked at the flying lizard man. Both of them brandished their swords and then the dashed towards each other intent on ending the other.

Braz Level ?

Health- ?

Naruto didn't know how strong this mini-boss was so he wasn't going to be taking chances with it. He struck as fast and as hard as he could with his unorthodox fighting style, trying to catch Braz off guard. But the lizard man wasn't having any of it, and countered or parried with his sword while also blocking with his shield. Naruto could tell that Braz didn't have any particular fighting style and instead chose to hit as fast as he could in a random pattern on that Naruto couldn't figure out and he was quickly forced onto the defensive as the lizard man's strikes got stronger and quicker than his.

But Naruto had advantages that he wasn't going to just forget, and so he jumped back and brought his wires to the party forcing Braz to take a few hits from wires that he didn't immediately detect. Naruto didn't let up though, he quickly tossed his swords in the air, sending them spinning a few feet above his head while he preformed a few hand-signs.

"Crystal Release: Crystal Storm!" Naruto shouted before hundreds of crystal shards appeared behind him ready to skewer the boss in an instant. The crystal flew and the so did the mini boss. Naruto was busy aiming his crystals as Braz was busying dodging all of his crystals. But then Braz disappeared into one of the holes and Naruto let the crystals fall to the ground, no use keeping them up and wasting chakra. The flapping of Braz's wings and the howling wind outside filled Naruto's ears. Then Braz came swooping in from behind and Naruto fell to the ground.

Oh noes! What happened to Naruto? You'll just have to see what happens in the next chapter. Sorry about this chapter coming so late than the others did, I just lost a bit of motivation with school and everything and I wanted to do one more dungeon before the next major time skip and I hope that you like this one, I drew a bit of inspiration from Antiquity from Chrono Trigger and the sky palace in Twilight Princess!
