the curse with a journey to go on

Naruto heard the door ring letting him know someone was in.

"I was sure I close that door, who's here?" Naruto ask as he went to see who was in his shop.

Looking around he saw no one, "hmm? Maybe they left."

"How would you think that," a mysterious voice said as Naruto turn around to see who it was.

Naruto saw standing in front of him was a 6 ft tall man, had a buff masculine body, jet black hair, eyes as dark as night, pale skin, natural red lips, wearing a very fancy and expensive suit on top of it a black fur coat, a gold emerald necklace with a gold emerald ring on his finger, on top of his head was a simple but fancy black bowler hat.

"Excuse me sir we're close," Naruto said as the man was looking around the shop.

"Huh? A shop you say, well nothing impressive here it's all... so... Tacky wouldn't you agree?" The man asked Naruto and Naruto was not amuse.

Naruto did not like his hard work being called tacky as it wasn't at all, "sir I told you were close."

The man kindly giggled but kind of look worried, "oh please forgive me good sir, I didn't mean to be rude I was just running from that warlock of the waist, I heard he was looking for a familiar bluebird."

Naruto's eyes widen, 'bluebird.'

Naruto had of course heard the warlock of the waste, he was banished many years ago after using his quirk for bad, it was unlike any kind of quirk as many people were afraid of him and even though how long it was over 50 years ago they say he is still out there terrorizing people.

"Look I have things to do, you can take the back if you want," Naruto said as he had no interest of getting into this type of drama.

"Oh really, what's that I hear?" The man asked because the back doors certainly felt like someone was hitting them.

The sounds of growling and disgusting Black ink could be heard which made Naruto jump.

"Quick! Let's take the front door," Naruto said as they quickly ran to the front door but two ink monsters dressing purple and white suits and wearing mask we're all right in front the door, "oh no."

"It's a shame you had to stumble across the warlock of the waist, haven't you boy?" He said as Naruto turn around and realize who this man was.

He was seeing ink coming down from his shoes and realize this man was the warlock of the waste.

Coming at Naruto like a phantom, Naruto tried to ran away but the man faced right through him and was now at the front door.

"The best part of this ability you can't tell anyone, send my regards to keigo will you please?" He asked before snapping his fingers with a note into Naruto's pocket.

The warlock disappeared into the darkness as the door slam and the bell ring.

Naruto was on the floor covering his face, after a short moment of heavy breathing he got up, feeling his face and feeling his hands, "what the?"

Naruto headed to the Mirror that was in the changing room and got a chance to look at himself.

He looked like he had age by over 82 years which would make him look like a hundred year old man.

His face was covering wrinkles, his nose was big, even his own hair despite wearing hair dye was Gray.

Giggling, "oh this is all good too good... This is all just a stupid dream."

Naruto went into the backyard and just paced back and forth, "it's all nothing more but a dream, it's a dream that I wake up from very soon, it's all just a dream, wait did I already said that?"

Naruto and disbelief thinking this had actually happened to him, Naruto had decided to go back upstairs even though it was hard due to his legs now being weak.

He managed to get up on to the second floor and headed straight into his bedroom.

"Sleep... Yes sleep is what I need," Naruto said as he got into bed hoping this will all be over.

By morning

Naruto had woken up and felt hard but managed to get onto his feet, going into the mirror hoping this was all nothing more but a bad dream.

Keeping his eyes closed until he got to his mirror, "all right... Remember it was all a dream Naruto... The warlock of the waist would never come to you at dark after all why were they waste their time on someone like you?"

With a Big Bright smile Naruto open up his eyes and saw himself and a big frown was now on his face, "crap... It wasn't a dream after all."

Heading back to bed and putting the blanket over his head.

Later

Naruto heard a door knock and it was one of the workers, "excuse me Mr namikaze it's late past noon, we have to open up the shop now."

"I have a cold, I really don't feel well today, please I don't want any of you to catch it," Naruto was lying of course but did not want anyone to see him like this.

The worker sounded very surprised, "wow you aren't kidding, you sound like a 100 year old man, all right, take care of yourself Naruto."

"I will thanks," Naruto said and after a minute he got back onto his feet and went to look himself in the mirror again.

After a moment Naruto smiled, "well on the bright side my clothes finally suit me well."

Naruto had realized though staying here is not going help him especially he was sure no one would believe him.

Naruto knew he had to find a way to break the curse and find a way to reverse himself back to normal.

Putting on this hat and a long Brown coat with his blue scarf, getting a bag with some food in it that he kept upstairs in his room.

Naruto peek out his door to make sure no one was around, taking one more deep breath, "well here I go."

Heading out of his room and going downstairs, taking the back entrance out.

He carefully got down without being seen by taking the back way.

The snow on his feet was horrible it wasn't like how he was when he was 18, "dang it's hard to walk as in 100 year old man."

Struggling to move with each step he took, a young man had came over, "excuse me sir but do you need any help?"

Naruto shook his head, "no thank you but I appreciate it."

Naruto continue on his way and start to think, 'wow someone was actually nice to me, maybe being old isn't that bad.'

Continuing his way he found a carriage full of hay, "excuse me sir do you know where this goes? I'm heading to the land of waste, if you're going anywhere near there is it all right I hop on along?"

"Of course," the man said as Naruto got onto the back and right off as he was able to finally relax for a bit or he would if it wasn't for the cold air going through him.

"Even with the extra clothes I put on I still freeze," Naruto was complaining to himself as being old was not easy.

Once the carriage had finally came to a stop, Naruto was on a farmer's land and over two hills from a mile away, over those two hills Naruto knew he would find himself in the land of the waste.

Continuing on his way but stopped to The Coachman, "excuse me I want to say thank you for giving me the ride."

"No problem," Naruto said as he continued on his way to the hills.

A young farmer woman came out and yelled at him, "OLD TIMER! DON'T GO THERE THAT'S WHERE A BUNCH OF VILLAINS LIVE!"

"I appreciate your concerned but I have to go here," Naruto tried to yell as he continued on walking but even speaking was hard.

"Dang being old isn't easy, no it is not easy at all," Naruto said to himself as he continued to went up the hills.

After some time he finally made it and decide to rest on a stone Frozen in ice, looking over the view of the city he was living in, "have to say I never thought I would realize how beautiful the place was from up here."

Taking a bite of an Orange and looking around, Naruto realize he could not continue on with these legs of his.

"I'm going to find a way to reverse this bloody curse, I have to find something that will help me walk," Naruto said to himself as he was looking around.

Naruto suddenly noticed there was a large branch in the bush, "hmmm? I could use that as a cane."

Getting up with his weak legs, he headed up to the bush and with all his strength he has a 100 year old man, "come... on! You... Stupid... BRANCH!"

Finally it was pulled out of the ground but it was not a cane or a branch, it was a scarecrow and its head was that of a turnip.

"Oh... What is a scarecrow doing here? Were you taking a nap here or something?" Naruto ask but realizing why was he talking to a scarecrow?

"Well I guess I should be getting on my way, Mr turnip head, farewell," Naruto said as he continue up the way.

However he heard someone coming up the hill with him and when he turned around he noticed the scarecrow was following him, "what the? You're not a normal scarecrow are you?"

The scarecrow came over to him and in his hand was an actual cane, throwing it right to the side to Naruto, "for me? Thank you Mr turnip head."

Turnip jump up and down back and forth, "I'm sorry but I don't understand what you're trying to tell me, if there is anything you could help me more with could you help me find a place to sleep tonight."

Naruto was just surprised how fast the day was going as truth be told he couldn't focus how long it's been.

Naruto had only noticed now that the sun was going down and it would soon be dark.

turnip head was hopping back down the hill, "goodbye mr turnip head."

Naruto continue on his way up the hill, suddenly Naruto felt the ground shake as if an earthquake was about to begin.

"What the...?" Naruto's eyes widen as he saw what was coming as he quickly turned around and notice a giant moving robotic machinery, it was known as hawks moving eyrie Castle.

"This really cannot be!? HAWKS MOVING EYRIE CASTLE!?" Naruto yelled as he had remembered seeing this before during his times when he was on the far side some people were able to see this place in close by from the waist it was in only before it went back into the fog.

Naruto didn't got a good chance to look at it before but now he was, it had a face like a bird with a big beak that open up wide, it was made out of multiple things of buildings but also look like they were made out of different types of nests, it had steam pipes going all the way up and smoke was coming out.

The worst part was it was coming directly at Naruto, Naruto closes eyes but then open them realizing it had large feet and it was walking over him.

"Oh thank goodness," Naruto said as the familiar scarecrow with a turnip head came back.

Suddenly it completely stopped, turnip head was jumping up and down right next to a door.

Naruto had realized what turnip head was trying to say to him, "wait you want me to go in there right?"

turnip head continue to jump even more, "I'll take that as a yes, well... This might be the place where bluebird live but I doubt he will steal my heart since I'm ugly."

Naruto got to the door, "thank you for all the help even if you are my least favorite vegetable mr turnip head."

Naruto what inside as the castle once again started moving, heading inside he saw a lit fire and a chair, "well looks like no one is here or home for now."

Naruto decided to take a rest on the chair and little did he know someone already had their eyes on him.
