Hello, everyone. Firstly, I would like to test this story out and see where it will go since I have been meaning to do a crossover between Mondaiji Tachi Ga Isekai Kara Kuru Sou Desu Yo? and Naruto. So, shockingly I had this idea for a few days and decided to test it out.
If you're confused by the premise of the opening, I can understand. The only thing I can say is to read the light novels of Mondaiji tachi and its sequel, Last Embryo. If you want an extensive understanding of the main character. Other than that, I have no way to convince you to read unless you're interested in continuing to read further. If so…
Please enjoy.
Ja'ne! ArtLotus out!
A Problematic Adventure in the Elemental Nations
Chapter 1: Can a Museum Lead to Somewhere Else?
To start the story firsthand, it all started with a visit to a museum.
Shortly after his arrival back to his hometown after five years chronologically in place of three in the Little Garden, one of the Problem Children known as Sakamaki Izayoi had nothing to do. Despite his predicament, he had met Tokuteru Mikado which caught him by confusion, though the God of Thunder will explain his own predicament in time. The Problem Child accepted his proposal before he sorted out to venture throughout his hometown with Mikado tagging along. They start a mild conversation throughout his hometown, one of the topics which detailed that it had been five years since his departure from his world unlike the three years he spent in Little Garden just before his return to his world.
The two of them spent the whole afternoon before they got to the point of visiting a museum; a place that Sakamaki Izayoi admitted was one of the places he liked to visit only because of the historical events told from the artifacts hidden inside.
There, they looked around the whole area. The two of them split and let themselves be entailed by the artifacts displayed. Even Mikado himself was interested in reading some artifacts that had been displayed for the public to see.
"Hm?" Out of the corner of his eye, the blonde could see the light glinting off some sort of metal. He turned away from his sightseeing a bit and headed to where the light originated. There, he approached a cubical glass which displayed a pair of oddly looking knives. The design of the pair consisted of three-bladed knives. Around the handles of the pair of knives were kanji if he could guess since the kanji were slightly faded.
The blonde looks down at the description displayed in front of the display and raises an eyebrow. There was not much description about the display except that it was found by a place far from here. It was a coincidental finding.
Looking back at the pair of knives, Izayoi gazes at it for a moment before he hears people chattering and he guessed that the people had begun to walk inside the museum after the storm left by the Minotaur. Forgoing any needs to look at the display, the blonde turns around to begin his trek to look at other displays.
"Where are you going?" Izayoi stopped as he looked up at Mikado, smiling at him. "I saw you staring at this display for a while." Mikado chided as he walked past the blonde to stand in front of the display. "If I'm not mistaken, this artifact is particularly weird…" Mikado explained as he kept gazing down at the rusty three pronged blade. "I have never seen anything like it, including the kanji displayed."
"Yeah, me neither. Although the archeologist found it by accident somewhere and decided to display it here. I didn't know if it was worth anything." Izayoi added as he stood next to Mikado who had a glint of mischief in his pupils.
"Well, what if…" Mikado muttered, stretching his hand to touch his index and middle finger against the smooth display of the cubical glass.
"What are you…!"
A bright light instantly shines out from the display. The source; originating out of one of the pair of three pronged knives.
On instinct, Izayoi successfully pulled Mikado out of the way with a pull of his wrist but it was only enough time to pull the blue haired out of the way.
"Tch!" Izayoi clicked his teeth before his whole world was engulfed in white.
Violent winds replaced the soft soothing air conditioner and Sakamaki Izayoi had to open his eyes at the blinding light that immediately blinded his eyes before it receded.
"What?" The blonde looked down and was completely captured by the new terrain greeting him. A vague sense of deja vu as the blonde reminisced about the first time he fell through the skies above 1000 feet. That was by far no means of any coincidence than his current predicament. As he fell, his eyes scan through the terrain before he heard loud explosions erupted at a few areas far away from him. He squinted his eyes to get a better look from his position before his eyes narrowed in concentration and he easily flipped his body in mid air, evading a couple sets of kunai and shuriken deliberately thrown straight at him.
"I thought I'd be getting a proper greeting this time around."
The blonde thought before he glanced at the set of kunai and shuriken thrown at him. Letting out a small smile, the blonde leaned his body forward so he was dropping head first.
"Since this is the proper greeting, I'd better come up with one." Approaching the ground at an alarming rate, the blonde leans back to pull back his fist and punches his fist forward—
Not a second later, a humongous size explosion erupted; sending large chunks of earth everywhere—!
A considerable distance away…
"What?" A pair of blue eyes glanced at the loud sound of the explosion. The impact of which could be felt reverberating through the earth. An alarming sign—since his students had left towards the same direction of the explosion.
"Minato-sensei!"
"Got you now!" A shout resonated as Minato Namikaze turns back his sight forward to the unnamed ninja charging down at him with a kunai.
Minato lightly evades to the left before slashing the side of the enemy's neck and looks towards his student, Obito Uchiha.
"Obito! Go ahead and complete the mission with Kakashi and Rin! I'll handle things from here!"
"But Minato-sensei!" Obito shouted towards him before gritting his teeth and contemplating his decision. Before long, he sent one last glance at his teacher before he sprinted away, leaving Minato to face the large group of enemies.
Sensing his student had gotten away safely, Minato readied himself.
"I hope that explosion doesn't mean anything...If it is…I should be quick about it!"
Somewhere else in the forest…
"—Did you sense that, Kakashi?" A genin by the name of Rin Nohara looked up at the humongous cloud of dust and debris that fell to the ground. The location of which was not too far from their position.
"Rin, focus." The chuunin who goes by the name, Kakashi Hatake, glances at where the explosion originated. "It's best not to get caught up by other things now. It may lead to our downfall, and if we're ineffective in action, what good will we be?"
"...Right!" Rin nodded before the two of them continued on their mission thereby fighting the enemies in front of them. But then, a red cloud of smoke billowed out in the skies. Strangely, it was where the explosion occurred.
"They need us!" The enemy looked towards his colleague before the two of them looked towards the two children in front of them. One of them smirked, "How about we play a little game of chase?" With that, he and his partner disappear from their spot to head towards the signature help by their force.
"Rin, let's go!"
"Wait up!" A voice said as Kakashi and Rin looked back. They were greeted by their third team member, Obito Uchiha. After catching up to them, he took a couple of breaths to calm down. "Huh…Where are you all going?"
"Obito, where is Minato-sensei? I thought you were with him?" Rin asked, a worried expression on her face.
"Minato-sensei said I should help you complete the mission. I wanted to stay back and fight more but he said he can handle it himself."
"Without you, he's more than capable of doing it himself." Kakashi said coolly as Obito glared at him.
"What was that?!" The Uchiha chirped.
"Come on. We can't waste any time. They're getting away. Just follow me." Kakashi sternly said as he sprinted away followed by Rin and a sighing Obito.
Nearby…
"Mm…—Not too shabby. Although I expect a much better fight than that. You overwhelmed little ole' me with your numbers here, and yet you can't get a nick out of me?"
The amusing voice of one Sakamaki Izayoi bellowed—standing over the dead and crippling bodies of his enemies. The headcount was over 15. The blonde did not mind killing and such when it is needed only. This time around; he did not have to inquire any further about the reception he got for his arrival. It was savagery; as dozens of people conjured spells of various kinds—lightning, fire, and a lot of earth-based spells.
He waited.
He did not dove into action as he was really curious about his enemies' abilities. Each one seemed to have a different type of element. If not an element, different spells for each element. It was intriguing to see the spells be given life—and countered against it easily.
Oh, some of their spells hit him directly. It was not because they had him trapped and he could not move. Even though he had been trapped at the moment.
He chose to stay still to evaluate the spells.
Some spells were destroyed when they met his hands. Especially close quarter combat. His hands primarily intervene their spells in close combat and incapacitated them without any issues with precise strikes to their heads or stomachs. Afterwards, the enemies kept coming at him with killer intents of various degrees. He incapacitated a lot of people and crippled them into unconsciousness. However, some refused to back down and launched an all out attack of projectiles. It was the same kind of knives that had a paper following behind the flying knives.
After he witnessed the damage done by the knives above the skies, he set out to rearrange the terrain which propelled every knife back towards their users. Because it became too much of an annoyance.
Which led him to the present time.
There is a fine line between the strong and weak, so much so as the unforgiven and forgiven ones. Though he had asked one of the crippled male amongst the others, he was thoroughly cursed by the man when he tried to ask a question about the assault on him in an attempt to see if his intention was intentional or not. His attempts at communication went south. With a light kick to the head of the crippled male, he incapacitated him. He was careful not to kill when he did not need to, and he did not feel any ounce of mercy to him and his squad. All in all, he was glad he had finished them off. A life for a life.
His eyes wandered through the giant crater: an evident of his landing on the different world he was in. The blonde had thought about asking one of the crippled squad members but he shot down the idea since he would most likely be refused to have the answer.
"Though…" Izayoi looks at the crippled squad around him before he walks ahead and stands in front of a male that was groaning in pain.
"What…?"
"Where am I?"
"...Are you stupid? You don't even know—" The crippled man paused immediately as a foot stepped upon his chest and slightly brought it down. "Ack!"
"Are you stupid for not answering the question in the first place? I will repeat my earlier question. Where am I? And what is going on around here?" The blonde added a new question before lifting up his foot to give the man some space to breathe and possibly answer his question.
"...Y-You're at the border of the Land of Fire—We're trying to ambush Konoha's Yellow Flash and bring him to his knees."
"Who are you associated with?" The crippled smiles at him before bringing himself to spit but was stopped by the foot stepping down on his neck. "Would you like to die slowly? It seems you're not taking care of yourself pretty well."
"—I-Iwagakure! All of us are from Iwagakure!"
"Where is this exactly? Yes, it's the border of The Land of Fire but what is the entire nation revolving around it?"
"The Elemental Nations!"
"—Why did the strange looking weapon teleport me here?" Izayoi asked himself before he lifted his foot and just as the crippled man was to release a relief sigh, he was broken out of his thoughts when a foot stepped down on his knees, breaking them apart.
The man screamed as all the others who had witnessed the scene were transfixed to the loud painful scream that one of their squad members had released. Some knew they would not be able to fight anymore if the blonde in front of them casually broke bones with a step of his foot. But others were feeling the opposite.
"You Konoha scum!" One of the Iwagakure nin shouted at Izayoi from his position on the ground nearby. "You'll pay for that!"
"Scum? Speak for yourself. You can't face me to back up your words."
"I don't need to." The crippled man slowly moves his broken right arm and clasps the right palm with his left. He then began to make a dozen hand signs before lightly slapped his palms over the ground.
"Earth—" However he was stopped by a stone hitting his neck, breaking his concentration and making him hunched back in pain, heaving with rough breath. He cupped both hands over his neck to lessen the pain.
"Don't think you can activate your spell or whatever it is that all of you are calling in this world." Izayoi stated absentmindedly, recalling about the term 'Jutsu' coming out of some Iwagakure nins just before they casted their powers or he interpreted them as 'Jutsus'. Looking over at the man doubling in pain after having been struck by a stone, the blonde carefully looked around before catching sight of two newcomers, wearing the same outfit as the other Iwagakure nins and also wore the same symbol on their headbands.
"W-What happened here?!" The newcomers stood on the very edge of the giant crater and looked upon the destruction in their sights. Their comrades, both alive but barely and some were dead.
"I–It's him! H–He is the one!" An Iwagakure nin weakly pointed his finger towards the blonde standing in the center of the crater.
"Him? How?"
"Why don't you see it for yourself?"
"What?" An angry response came from one of the pair as he glared at the blonde smiling amusedly at him.
"You heard me. I did all of this, so it is right that you want to get some payback, right?" The blonde smiled nonchalantly, making the pair of Iwagakure nin scowling at him and were about to charge towards him but stopped by one of their crippling comrades nearby.
"Don't let your guard down...He's something else…"
Hearing the message, the two of them looked at each other before prompting to disappear, leaving the blonde to look around, knowing that they did not run and was planning something to attack.
"The question is what…?" Izayoi thought to himself whilst scanning his surroundings with few glances. Suddenly, he sensed it.
Turning around, the blonde evades the set of shuriken thrown at him out from the trees before he lands and is prompted to block a kunai from slicing his face with his forearm against the enemy's wrist.
"We'll pay for what you did, bastard!" The Iwakagakure male cursed at the blonde before pulling back his kunai and engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the blonde. Unfortunately, the Iwagakure male was caught by surprise at the prospect of the blonde keeping up with his attacks and countering every hit. Cursing out of his breath, he pumps chakra to appear visible and coats it along the blade of his kunai.
"Oho?" Izayoi raised an eyebrow at the sight before he continued evading the attack coming at him vertically and horizontally. "Do you have any tricks other than this? Apparently, you're not entertaining me enough." He commented which made the Iwagakure male glared and scowled at him before smirking at him. Taking the sight as a sign, the blonde sensed the presence behind and he immediately began to think before countering. As the blonde blocked a few slashes easily, he waited for the right time before he instantly gripped his opponent's wrist and pulled him backward, replacing his spot while he took his spot.
"What?! Ack!" The Iwagakure male was surprised as his partner pierced his chest with a kunai. "W-Why?!" His partner asked before the kunai was removed, causing him to fall to his knees while harboring ragged breath, one of his lungs punctured.
"You're slow on the intake, that's all." The remaining Iwagakure nin look up at the blonde before deciding to charge at him with a war cry.
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" A loud voice interrupted the fight as Izayoi watched the fireball engulf the Iwagakure nin and blow him sideways. As the body hit the ground, the blonde could smell the burning corpse before three children appeared before him. If he had to guess, they had to be about 11 or 10 years younger than him. "Did you see that? I got him good!" Obito commented, looking at himself proudly as Rin nodded at him while Kakashi nodded before attempting to collect the item for their assigned mission from one of the Iwagakure pair.
"What are you kids doing here?"
"What? Who are you calling kids, huh?" Obito asked, turning towards Izayoi and glaring at him for his remark while Rin looked at the blonde and was surprised at the handsome face greeting her. "We're old enough to be adults! We're already adults ever since we became genin!"
"Don't be so short-tempered, kid. To me, you still look like a kid."
"What did you say?" Obito was angered by his remark again. "Why I ought to—"
"Excuse me, mister…?" Rin voices out which catches Obito's attention and he quickly silences himself while Izayoi turns to her. "Did you do this?" She gestured to the crater where they stood. "Were you the one who made the explosion not too long ago?"
"Oh, that? Yeah."
"Wait, you made that?" Obito asked with a surprised look. "Did you use a lot of explosive tags all at once?" He asked before looking at the crippled and dead Iwagakure shinobi lying around them from various areas of the giant crater. "Because this place looks a lot worse…"
"Explosive tags? No, It became like this just because I landed here."
"You landed here?" Rin asked in surprise.
"Wait what? You landed here and that's what made this whole thing?!" Obito exclaimed gobsmacked.
"Yeah." Izayoi replied blankly.
"That doesn't make any sense!"
"Nor it makes any sense of why you're interacting with a stranger in the first place, Obito, Rin."
Both Obito and Rin look towards Kakashi holding their main objective in his hand while he walks towards them. When the white haired chuunin stood in front of them, he faces the blonde.
"He could be an enemy in disguise." Kakashi deduced as he crouched into a fighting stance.
"What am I thinking?" Obito asked himself before entering a fighting stance together with Rin. "We let our guard down but not this time, blondie!"
"But Kakashi...If he's an enemy, which village is he aligned with? He cannot be with Iwagakure if this has to say anything…" Rin looks towards the wreckage left behind by the blonde's landing. "We're not trapped in a genjutsu... and this is not a setup for a genjutsu whatsoever."
"I noticed," Kakashi replied before narrowing his eyes at the blonde in front of him. "...Which village are you? Kumo? Kiri? Or even, Suna?"
"Does it matter?"
"It is if you value your life."
"Value my life? That's almost laughable."
"Why is that?"
"I don't think you understand the situation you're in. You should be concerning your well being instead."
"Why—"
"You know why. Since you're wet under the ears, why don't you take a look around before you deduced if you can take me on. That's a key point."
"I've already looked around enough. And it is not possible for anyone to make this just from landing."
"You believe that, right?" Obito said to Kakashi. "Come on, that's a lie right? There's no way he could done this."
"But...the damage and not to mention the enemies he defeated…" Rin said with a reluctant look.
"I know. That's what makes the observation all the more confusing." Kakashi said.
"What's there to believe then?" Obito remarked.
"Will you shut up for a bit?" Kakashi asked of him.
"What?"
"—With this much time handed to me on a silver platter, I could have already knocked all of you unconscious." Izayoi stated which gotten a surprise out of Obito and Rin except Kakashi who hid his expression well. "—or worse."
"How would you know?" Obito asked pointing a finger at his direction.
"I'm aware of our surroundings more than all of you. Act fast." The blonde replied before Kakashi disappears surprising Obito and Rin.
"Huh?!" Obito felt himself being lifted and he glances towards Rin. He barely saw her but someone had lifted her up on their shoulder.
"Earth Style: Earth Dragon God Blast!"
Instantly, Obito and Rin look up at the dragon made out of earth, flying towards them.
"H-Hey, it's heading towards us!" Obito warned their captor.
"And I thought you weren't afraid. Am I wrong to believe that you were posing as an adult?" Both Obito and Rin look towards their captor in time to see that it was the blonde that they met. "Don't worry too much, kid. You'd think this is my first time rumbling around with this?" Directing his question towards Obito, the blonde drags the sole of his feet and turns around, facing the earth dragon.
"Y-You're insane! You're going to get us killed!"
"M-Mister…" Rin voices out with fear laced in her tone. Rin looked towards the blonde over her shoulder and she was surprised that she was greeted by a face that showed no signs of fear or hesitation in the face of danger. She was then caught by surprise as he looked at her and offered her a smile before facing the earth dragon charging solely towards them.
"Just watch." Izayoi offered a piece of advice to Obito and Rin who were confused but kept quiet.
"How are we in this situation?!" Obito thought. "I can't use any of my jutsu or it'll hurt Rin! What am I going to do? And I can't reach for my pouch for any weapons!"
"Earth Style: Clay Barrier Prison!"
Immediately, a dome acting as a prison rises and imprisons the three of them.
"What?"
"This jutsu! I feel my chakra being absorbed little by little…" Rin mutters.
"Me too…But we can't give up yet!" Obito said as he looked at Rin who looked back, nodding at him soon after.
"Who says anything about giving up?" Immediately, Obito and Rin felt themselves moving and they were instantly outside of the prison that had been destroyed by the blonde before they shifted.
"Huh? Wha! T-Turn around!" Obito exclaimed in fright as he sees the earth dragon just in front of him while Rin gasped.
But instantaneously, Obito and Rin felt their world spun before the sound of an explosion erupted near their ears and right after that, they were feeling like they were falling.
Landing on his feet gently, the blonde let go of off both Obito and Rin who landed on their feet and were holding their heads in a dizzy trance.
"W-What happened? I can't think…" Obito held his head with both hands.
"H-He destroyed them all."
"Huh? What was that, Rin?" Obito asked looking towards Rin. "I didn't hear you."
"He destroyed the prison and the earth dragon just with his feet." Rin look up at Izayoi while nursing the side of her head.
"Okay...what?!"
"That's about right as it can get." Both Rin and Obito turns around to face Kakashi and their sensei, Minato.
"Minato-sensei." Obito and Rin called out.
"It's good that you two are safe. While you two were with him, we took care of the remaining ones. I'm sorry that I took too long to get here. I could have prevented them in the first place."
"It's not your fault. This person helped us." Rin shakes her head before gesturing towards Izayoi standing behind her and Obito.
"Yeah." Obito reluctantly nodded.
"I watched." Minato smiled at the two. "I also know that you completed on retrieving the mission objective."
"Yeah we did! I took one of them out!" Obito boasted as Minato smiled at him before looking at Izayoi and approaching him.
"By the looks of it, you're their teacher?" Izayoi start up the conversation.
"Yes, I am. I cannot express my thanks enough for rescuing them." Minato smiled in appreciation.
"It's nothing. Although I am pretty confused by all of this right now. Do you know any villages near here?"
"Yes. It's Konohagakure." Minato answered as the other blonde nods in understanding. "...If you want, you can come with us after we finished our mission."
"Minato-sensei!" Obito and Kakashi stand next to Minato.
"What?" Minato asked before he motioned Izayoi to give them a minute. Minato ushers his three students away from Izayoi and out of ear's way.
"We can't let him. We don't know anything about him. We don't know his ulterior motive." Kakashi said glancing at Izayoi for a bit.
"Yes. He might be leading us on!" Obito added. "He might kill us when we least expect it!" He voiced out as Minato looked at his two students with a trouble look before looking at his third student.
"What do you think, Rin?"
"Me? Um...What Kakashi and Obito said are true. I can't deny the authenticity of it but…" Rin paused as Kakashi and Obito turned to her. "What if he is not bad? He did save Obito and I earlier. We're the ones who didn't notice the ambush before it's too late, and he was the one that reacted to save us rather than leave us." Rin nodded to herself as she gave her explanation to her team.
At hearing her explanation, Minato smiles.
"Her explanation is sound. What do you think about it now, Obito, Kakashi?"
"I found it hard to trust a stranger with my life." Rin frowned a little at her crush's answer.
Obito look at Kakashi before replying to say the same but the Uchiha look at Rin and Minato for a moment. "Hm...It's not like he would be a part of our team, right? Since blondie over there doesn't know where he is apparently, we should help him get to Konoha, at least."
"And the Lord Hokage can speak with him." Rin added as Minato. "He also seems lost, Minato-sensei. We need to help him."
"Alright." Minato gave an easy reply before he walk past his students towards Izayoi while the three students followed him from behind.
"So it seems you've already held a conference about me?" Izayoi spoke as Minato nodded.
"The majority of them said we should help you since you looked lost around this parts of the forest and until we arrive at Konohagakure, you'll stick with us for the duration. When we arrive at the village, you'll speak with the Hokage and tell him about your situation." Minato explained as Izayoi nodded.
"Reasonable enough. This Hokage is the leader of Konohagakure, am I right?"
"Yes."
"I'll give it a shot to explain the best I can." The blonde shrugs his shoulders nonchalantly, knowing he could use someone to lend an ear to his problem.
"Good. In the meantime, you'll be with us. But…" Minato paused as he pointed his three-pronged kunai in front of Izayoi. "If you dare so betray us in the end, I will not hesitate to end your life." He said with an amount of power in his tone.
"Good threat?" Izayoi answered smiling nonchalantly, much to everyone's surprise including Minato. Meanwhile the blonde looks over at the three-pronged kunai wielded by Minato. "So he's the owner of those weapons? Those seals must have a connection to teleport something…" The blonde thought, his gaze lingered at the seal around the handle of the three-pronged kunai. "With that out of the way, mind introducing yourself and your students?" Izayoi gestured his hand towards Minato and his students.
"My name is Minato Namikaze. This is Obito Uchiha, Rin Nohara, and Kakashi Hatake." Minato gestured his hand toward himself and the three of them before gesturing it toward Izayoi. "Yours?"
"The name's Sakamaki Izayoi."
Minato put away his weapon before offering a hand to the other blonde.
"It's nice to meet you, Sakamaki-kun."
"Likewise, Namikaze."
Izayoi accepted the handshake.
