As Naruto's training progressed under Ramona's guidance, he found himself standing beside her in a vast, ethereal landscape within subspace. The realm was a dizzying array of swirling pastel nebulas and floating platforms, each step echoing with the sound of a thousand distant whispers. Naruto, clad in a form-fitting black tank top and sweats tracksuit that provided him agility and comfort, watched in awe as Ramona demonstrated the fine control required to navigate this mysterious dimension.
Ramona, dressed in her signature battle outfit—a tight, dark teal tank top under a cropped bomber jacket adorned with patches from her travels across dimensions, and tight black jeans tucked into combat boots—looked every bit the seasoned traveler of the arcane and mysterious subspace. Her hair was pulled back into a functional ponytail, strands defying gravity slightly as if underwater.
"Subspace isn't just about moving through different places," Ramona began, her voice echoing around them like a cool breeze. "It's about understanding and feeling the space between things. Think of it as... not just going from point A to point B, but understanding every particle and wave you pass through."
Naruto nodded, absorbing her words while trying to mimic her stance—feet slightly apart, relaxed yet ready to move at any moment.
"So, how do I start?" Naruto asked, watching a comet of blue and pink fire slowly drift by, illuminating Ramona's face with a soft glow.
"First, feel the subspace around you," Ramona instructed, closing her eyes. "It's like tuning into a new sense. Let go of what you see with your eyes and sense with your mind."
Naruto did as she suggested, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. Initially, all he felt was a slight breeze and the warmth from the nearby astral bodies. But slowly, the area around him began to resonate, a symphony of energies dancing at the edge of his perception.
"Good," Ramona said softly, opening her eyes as she watched him tune in. "Now, create a portal. Imagine the fabric of this space as a curtain. Gather it, twist it, then pull it apart."
Concentrating hard, Naruto visualized as she instructed. He pictured the space in front of him twisting like a cloth, his hands moving to mimic the action he imagined. Gradually, a small rip in the space appeared, glowing with a fierce, incandescent light. Excited, he pulled it wider, and the portal expanded.
"Exactly like that!" Ramona exclaimed, a rare smile breaking across her face. "You're a natural."
As they continued, Ramona took a moment to reflect, her gaze drifting across the cosmic vista. "I used to explore these realms with someone very special to me," she shared, her voice tinged with nostalgia. "It was from him I learned much of what I'm teaching you."
Naruto listened, sensing her melancholy. "What happened to him?" he asked gently.
Ramona looked at him, her eyes reflecting the starlight. "Life in subspace... it can be unpredictable. We parted ways—a necessary choice. He continued his journey; I started anew in the real world. But I keep those lessons close to my heart."
Understanding her sentiment, Naruto nodded. "It sounds like he was a great teacher."
"He was," she agreed, then punched his shoulder playfully. "But don't think you're off the hook. I expect just as much dedication from you."
Naruto grinned, rubbing his shoulder. "I wouldn't expect anything less."
They spent the next hour practicing. Naruto created portals with increasing ease, and for the first time, he transported them both to a small, floating island a few kilometers away—a feat that left him breathless with excitement and fatigue.
"You did well today, Naruto," Ramona said as they sat watching a galaxy slowly spin in the distance. "I think you're ready to start exploring on your own soon."
Naruto's chest swelled with pride at her words. "Thanks, Ramona. I couldn't have gotten this far without you."
Reluctantly the two parted through different portals, leaving the serene chaos of subspace behind, with Naruto returning to the loud, vibrant chaos of the Loud house.

In the bustling household of the Loud family, Naruto and the siblings decided to kick off a new season of their YouTube channel, "Loud and Proud," which features the misadventures and chaotic daily life of the large family. Inspired by the unique dynamics and ever-present chaos in the Loud house, they plan to showcase everything from pranks and challenges to personal achievements and family outings.
Lincoln, ever the organizer and director, outlines the first episode: a mega-vlog featuring a typical day in the Loud household, aiming to capture the essence of each sibling's personality and quirks. Ater the hiatus it was decided to do a reintroduction as a refresher to old fans and an introduction to new ones. The challenge is set for each sibling to create a segment that best represents them, which will be stitched together into one comprehensive vlog.
Naruto, having confided in Lincoln about his experiences up north decided it might be interesting to do a segment on subspace. More and more mystics were coming out and being discovered.
"Okay, everyone! Let's make sure we highlight everything that makes our family...well, us," Lincoln announced, rallying his siblings who gathered in the living room, which was buzzing like a backstage at a theater.
Luna, with her choppy purple hair reflecting her free spirit, tuned her guitar by the couch. Her attire was a perfect reflection of her rockstar persona— a black band t-shirt paired with ripped jeans and studded belts, her look completed by chunky bracelets that jangled as she strummed a chord.
Luan, ever the comedian, was already setting up her pranks. She wore a yellow and white striped shirt with a wide, mischievous grin, her brown hair tied back with a flower scrunchie that barely contained her bubbling enthusiasm. "This is gonna be the funniest vlog ever!" she chuckled, placing whoopee cushions strategically on the seats.
Lisa, the child prodigy, was in her standard green sweater and glasses, her brown hair neatly combed back. Next to her latest experiment on the coffee table, she adjusted her thick glasses and noted, "I shall quantify the exact formula for maximum familial hilarity and incidental chaos."
Leni, the fashionista, was choosing outfits for her segment—a fashion tutorial. She fluttered around in a light pink blouse and a flared skirt, her blonde hair perfectly styled in soft waves. "O-M-Gosh, this will like, totally be the best vlog ever," she gushed, holding up two sparkling accessories, unable to decide which looked more 'vogue'.
As the camera started rolling, Lincoln directed, "And...action!"
Luna was the first to go. "What's up, guys? Luna Loud here, bringing you the soundwaves of my soul!" she greeted with a rocker's salute. Behind her, posters of famous rock bands and her own lyrics papered the walls, setting the perfect backdrop for her musical tutorial.
Next up was Luan, who couldn't wait to showcase her pranking skills. "Prepare to laugh your socks off—or should I say, whoopee them off!" Luan quipped, a split second before Lincoln unwittingly sat on one of her cushion traps, the camera catching his surprised yelp and subsequent laughter.
Lisa presented her scientific experiments with typical aplomb. "Observe, as I demonstrate the volatile reactions of household chemicals—under controlled conditions, of course," she clarified, donning safety goggles and igniting a small, colorful explosion that drew 'oohs' and 'ahs' from her siblings.
Leni's fashion segment was equally dazzling. She paraded in front of her 'runway' (the hallway), accessorizing on the fly and offering tips like, "Always pair heavy with light, darlings—like this heavy belt with a light scarf!"
Meanwhile, Naruto's part took a different turn. Standing in the backyard, he began, "Morning to night to all the viewers, Naruto here, and today, I'm diving into a brand new subject. As everyone know the world of mysticism and special adepts is expanding as every generation more gifted people are being born. So today we're diving into a subset of abilities that come up north from the country of Canada. Let's talk about subspace abilities!"
As Naruto focused, the air around him shimmered slightly, visually distorting as if heat waves radiated off him. "Subspace is like another dimension. With guidance from someone who I met up there by the name of Ramona I been learning to navigate it."
The scene shifted dreamily to a surreal landscape, representing Naruto's subspace vision. "Here, it's not about where you are but where you want to be," Naruto's voice echoed as the visuals showed a distorted version of the Loud house, elements floating as if underwater, serene and beautiful.
"Through these doors," Naruto continued, gesturing to floating doorways in the dreamscape, "lie paths to anywhere. The key is focusing on where you want to go."
Back in the real world, Naruto concluded, "It's tricky, and sometimes you might end up in the wrong place like a bathroom or even someone's house so its not recommended unless you undergo strict training. Oh and as an addition your path way needs to be opened by a user so not just anyone can just tap into this. Wouldn't be reasonable to expose something like this for anyone to use after all."
As the day wound down, the siblings gathered to watch the footage. Lincoln edited the clips together, creating a seamless flow from Luna's chords to Leni's fashion tips, Luan's laughter, Lisa's explosions, and Naruto's intriguing introduction to subspace. This worked well for a part one while the other siblings would be a part three as just subspace in itself would making an expansive part two do to it being something new and undone on the site.
"Looks like we've got ourselves a hit. What do you think, Naruto? Ready for more subspace adventures?" Lincoln asked, looking over at Naruto, who nodded, a determined glint in his eyes.
"Yeah, definitely. There's a lot more to explore, and with Ramona's tips, I think I can really get a handle on it," Naruto replied, his mind already racing with possibilities.
The episode ended with a promise of more chaos, more music, more science, more fashion, and more mystical adventures into the subspace.
As the camera faded to black, Lincoln's voice could be heard, "Tune in next time for more adventures with the Louds, where it's always loud but never boring!" The screen cut to their channel's subscribe button, a fitting end to a day full of loud and proud family antics.

Lincoln, clad in his usual orange polo shirt now adorned with a 'director' badge he made himself, was becoming quite the filmmaker. His keen eye for detail and knack for storytelling helped him seamlessly weave the chaos of the Loud house into captivating episodes. His camera, always at the ready, captured both the planned segments and the spontaneous moments that only a house full of eleven siblings could provide.
"Okay, team, for our next episode, I'm thinking 'A Day of Firsts'. Everyone tries something new, and we capture it all. Thoughts?" Lincoln proposed during their family meeting in the living room, the air filled with the buzz of excited chatter and the occasional bark from their dog, Charles.

Luna was sitting cross-legged on the floor, her electric guitar resting against her leg. "Dude, I'm totally down. I've been wanting to try this new music software to mix some tracks. Could be rad for the viewers!"
Her segment would later show her navigating the complexities of the software, her face a mixture of concentration and exhilaration. Each click brought a new layer to her music, and her usual vibrant attire—a band tee and studded belt, today accessorized with neon bracelets—mirrored the energy of her tunes.

Meanwhile, Luan, with a mischievous sparkle in her eyes, was already plotting her set of firsts. "I'm gonna perform stand-up comedy at the local café tonight! First time without my dummy, Mr. Coconuts. Just raw, unfiltered me."
Her segment featured her pacing nervously backstage, her usual colorful outfit replaced with a more subdued black and white ensemble, aiming for a professional look. The butterflies in her stomach were invisible to the audience who later roared with laughter at her jokes, showing Luan that she could shine on her own.

Leni, flipping through a fashion magazine, chimed in, "I'll design my first piece from scratch! No patterns, no help, just pure Leni creativity!"
Her part of the vlog would be a whirlwind of fabric, glitter, and occasional confusion. Dressed in a chic, hand-made dress by the end of the day—albeit with a few mismatched fabric choices—she stood proudly in front of her creation, a testament to her unorthodox yet undeniable talent in fashion.

Naruto, his segment planned last, decided to take a significant step in his subspace training. "I think I'll try to reach a new location through subspace...somewhere I've never tried before. Maybe I can bring something back, like a souvenir from the beyond," he mused, intrigued by the possibilities his powers held.
His training sessions were intense, with Ramona guiding him through their dream-like conversations. The backdrop of these sessions—a kaleidoscope of swirling colors and shapes only visible in subspace—provided a stunning visual for the viewers. Naruto's outfit was simple, a black and orange tracksuit that allowed him ease of movement as he practiced forming and stabilizing portals.
"Remember, focus on the destination, feel the space around you," Ramona's voice guided him, her presence in the subspace conversation both comforting and empowering.
With a deep breath, Naruto focused, and for the first time on camera, he successfully opened a stable portal and stepped through it, disappearing from the regular world and reappearing with a small, glowing stone—a piece of subspace itself.
As each sibling ventured into new territories, they supported one another, their bonds strengthened by shared experiences and individual growth. The episode "A Day of Firsts" was well-received, showcasing not only their talents but also the genuine support they had for each other.
Lincoln wrapped up the episode with a heartfelt conclusion, "And that's what being a Loud is all about—trying new things, pushing boundaries, and having a blast along the way. Thanks for joining us on these firsts, and don't forget to like, subscribe, and turn on notifications for more adventures!"
Naruto's segment, in particular, drew curiosity and awe, his subspace stone becoming a symbol of the mystical journey the viewers and Naruto himself were on together. As the screen faded to black, the Loud siblings gathered around, watching the premiere together, their faces lit with smiles and the glow of the screen, already brainstorming the next batch of adventures for their channel.
"Who knew subspace could be so cool?" Lincoln remarked as Naruto ruffled his hair.
"Or that I could make an entire dress?" Leni added, twirling in her fabric masterpiece.
As laughter and chatter filled the room, the Loud house felt a little louder, a little prouder, and a lot more adventurous.
0000000000000000000000000
The living room was buzzing more than usual as Lincoln and the sisters reviewed the footage they had gathered for the latest vlog episode. The change in atmosphere was jarring—going from the serene, whispering cosmos to the loud, overlapping conversations of the Loud siblings.
Naruto now seemed to bear the faint essence of subspace—a shimmering quality to the fabric—paused to acclimate.
"Hey, Naruto, come check this out! You gotta see Luna's face during Luan's prank," Lincoln called out, waving him over with a chuckle.
Naruto walked over, a smile spreading across his face as he watched Luna's dramatic reaction on the screen, her eyes wide with surprise and mouth agape—a stark contrast to her usual cool demeanor. The siblings erupted in laughter.
As they continued to review the footage, Leni's fashion segment came up. Her choice of mixing bold patterns and neon colors was audacious at best, and the scene of her trying to teach Lily how to walk the runway—only for both to trip over a long scarf—sent the room into another fit of laughter.
"Leni, you're a genius," Luna said through giggles, "Who else could turn a runway fail into a comedy gold?"
Leni blushed, pleased, "Thanks, guys. I guess I do have a knack for the unexpected."
Naruto watched, fascinated by the dynamics. As more and more memories came to mind he realized his previous life hadn't afforded him many light-hearted moments. Here, laughter was abundant and free-flowing, and every sibling had their quirks celebrated.
The group's attention shifted when Lincoln started editing Naruto's training segment. The footage of the swirling portal and Naruto's focused expression as he manipulated the energies was captivating.
"Wow, Naruto, that's incredible! It's like watching a superhero movie!" Lincoln exclaimed, impressed by the visual spectacle.
"Yeah, it's pretty cool," Naruto admitted, feeling a mix of pride and nervousness about showcasing his abilities so openly. On one hand it fostered more understanding because predictability there were discrimination against those who were gifted by traditionalist and a lot of religious sects accusing them of being in league with the devils so it was a tough balance to navigate.
As the afternoon waned into evening, the siblings planned future segments. Inspired by Naruto's progress, Lincoln proposed more ambitious ideas.
"What if we do an episode where Naruto tries to teach one of us about subspace?" Lincoln suggested, already brainstorming the possibilities.
"That would be awesome! I want to try," Lana piped up eagerly, always ready for a new adventure.
"Me too," Lucy added quietly, intrigued by the concept of other dimensions.
Naruto paused, the weight of the suggestion sinking in. Finally, he nodded. "Yeah. Let's do it. It'll be fun teaching something that I was just a student of not too long ago. But we'll save something like that as a Mid finale or end of the season. I want to have a far greater mastery before I do something like that."
The day's shoot wrapped up with plans set for their ambitious projects, and as the siblings dispersed to their respective rooms, Naruto had called up Ramona to express the idea.
"You think they're ready for something like subspace?" Naruto asked, unsure but excited at the prospect.
"They might never be truly ready, but if they're your siblings I'm sure they'll be tough." Ramona assured him, her voice full of confidence.
"Night, Ramona. See you in subspace," Naruto said as he got ready to turn in for the nigh, a smile lingering on his face.
"Night, Naruto. Keep practicing," her voice echoed from the other side of the phone.
In the quiet that followed, Naruto sat back, the events of the day replaying in his mind. Training, laughing, learning—it was all part of life here in the Loud house, and he wouldn't have it any other way. As he turned off the lights and headed to bed, the possibilities of tomorrow's adventures in both the real world and subspace filled his dreams.
