(Phobos' Castle)
"What happened to you?" Phobos asked seeing Cedric, his second in command and strongest warrior, he had a small circular wound on his chest, it was odd to see him injured as the snake monster had a fast rate of healing.
"A boy with magic." Cedric said surprising Phobos "He might be a relative of your very bloodline." he said to him.
"That's impossible, there are no other descendants of my blood." Phobos said as his missing sister was the only one possibly having powers "There are very few people who can wield magic in Meridian Cedric." he said to him as he was well aware of the Mage.
"It's the truth my liege." Cedric said as a guard soon came to him "Here is a painted sketch." he said to Phobos handing him the paper.
Phobos saw the picture and had to admit, there was a resemblance 'I can see why he thought we could be related.' he thought as besides the whisker marks, he had blonde hair and blue eyes "What powers did he wield?" he asked him curious to what powers this person had.
"He made an invisible sphere like wall around him that sent me flying and then a ball of pure magic." Cedric said motioning to his still-healing wound.
"Hmmm that sounds like air magic." Phobos said to himself "Make wanted posters, I want this boy alive." he said to Cedric as he left 'This is quite interesting.' he thought as there were few magical items of power outside his control, such as the Mage Ring or the Star of Threbe, but the star was lost when it was used to find his mother and the Mage Ring was still in possession of the Mage, who he is very sure is still very much alive 'Cedric would have noticed the ring.' he thought as Cedric's eyes were valuable in on themselves given he could see magical power made him valuable in determining the worth of other magical items or finding them.
The prince sat in silence his mind trying to wrap around this conundrum.
(with Caleb)
"This is amazing." Caleb said as he just saw Naruto empty Phobos' armory and placed it all in a scroll.
"Easier than you think, so why do you need to get caught?" Naruto asked Caleb.
"It's a smokescreen, Phobos is going to publicly execute me." Caleb said as Phobos was dramatic like that and whenever he caught someone in high standing in the rebellion he made an example of them "But he'll try and torture me for information first, in between that time I will be in the dungeon where my informant will give me information." he said as he was glad Phobos was so lazy he left tasks like that up to idiots.
Naruto nodded in following seeing the logic and the risk "When do you want me to come to your rescue?" he asked him curious to when he should come save him.
"Give me 20 hours." Caleb said to him as he was sure that was the minimum and maximum he could get away with.
Naruto nodded as he left to deliver the rebellion the supplies he stole.
(Infinite City)
'Man this place is large.' Naruto thought extremely impressed this was built so far underground and that it did in fact stretch for miles.
Naruto followed Caleb's instructions of where to bring the supplies, he emptied the contents of the scroll he used leaving them out.
Naruto decided to train as he waited for Caleb.
(Naruto's seal)
The nine tails looked at his host with new eyes, he hated Naruto, but given what he could be, he wanted to see for himself as Naruto hadn't proven to be like his previous hosts "I assume you want information on the Rinnegan." he said as Naruto was reading a scroll that Ashura wrote.
"What do you want in return?" Naruto asked not as dumb as the nine tails thought he was.
"I don't want you to bring shame to the Six Paths." the nine tails said in pure honesty "You have inherited a legacy, one that is far too precious to let someone like you fuck it all up." he said once again being completely honest as while his host was admirable compared to most of his species, he was still a next level dumbass.
"So what can you tell me that these scrolls can't?" Naruto asked him.
"Show me the scroll." the nine tails said as Naruto opened it for him to see "That scroll is accurate, but it is one sided." he said to him seeing the confusion in Naruto's face "Think of it like your rasengan, you were able to push it further with elemental chakra correct?" he asked getting a nod "The truth is chakra and ninjutsu can also be pushed via different methods, one of Nagato's pain's had the ability to create weapons correct?" he asked getting a nod from Naruto "Instead of adding or creating a weapon as part of the body, why not make it separate, make yourself into a shuriken launcher, fire projectiles, or even make your own weapons separate from your body." he said giving Naruto this one hint wanting to see what he would do next.
Naruto thought to himself as he had seen Nagato's pains have an excessive amount of rods leave their body, he wondered if he could do something similar.
(Infinite City)
'Ok let's see if I can do this.' Naruto thought taking out a kunai wanting to see if he could make one.
Naruto focused on his opposite hand seeing it break apart in a mechanical fashion before a kunai appeared in his hand and noticed some off details 'The handle is thin, the blade is blunt, and is this…' he thought before putting the blade down and started channeling his chakra and soon saw the blade heat up 'Chakra metal.' he thought as it was the same as the chakra rods Nagato used.
Naruto attempted the technique again making another imperfect kunai, but this time it was the same iron as all kunai were made with, he flared his chakra getting no reaction 'Ok better.' he thought to himself as it would suck if he had similar issues with chakra rods that could be exploited like with how he did to Nagato with sage chakra.
Naruto began working on the powers of the Asura Path's powers.
(with Haku)
The paperwork was done, with a little help from Yan Lin they made their way into the system and also they were all emancipated able to do things for themselves, but a catch was they had to have a legal guardian in a position in case of emergency and they put Yan Lin in that position.
The basement where they currently resided was a bit small, and they all agreed they needed to make funds fast, Yan Lin hired them as waitresses and Tsume worked in the kitchen as out of all of them only she could cook.
Yan Lin was kind enough to lend them some old clothes she had and some money to buy some as well.
"I swear nothing fits." Tsunade said almost tempted to use bandages on her impressive bust as even in this world bras snapped holding her cleavage, she had on a small magenta no-sleeve shirt showing off her toned stomach and model curves under a navy blue combat jacket her G-cup sized breasts on full display, she had a lovely and sensual heart-shaped ass under green skinny jeans.
"You think you have problems?" Tsume said as the clothing while somewhat restricting wasn't her issue, it was the smell, the city itself was so full of pollutants that she needed to stop using her enhanced sense of smell and was now forced to adjust, she was wearing a red shirt under a leather biker jacket that hugged her curvy body nicely and fully showed her large FF-cup breasts, black skinny jeans that showed off her nice legs and thicc thighs, but were tight on her bubbly ass.
"I honestly can't tell if this world is worse or better than ours." Konan said as the elemental nations was the same size as the US, and while the civil disputes throughout history were grand, they were small by their standards, what made things scarier was how people could hurt each other much worse than if they had chakra 'Nagato would not like this world.' she thought to herself, she was wearing a black no sleeve shirt under a black jacket with the symbol of her headband on both her shoulders in red revealing much of her large EE-cup breasts cleavage, and her athletic and curvy body, wearing black combat jeans which fully displayed her round supple ass.
"That's a matter of opinion." Haku said to Konan "If you think about it, we're simple minded focusing on neighboring lands and borders rarely people becoming like Orochimaru." she said as Tsunade gave her a brief history on her time of being dead, she wore a teal t-shirt which was tight on her upper body showcasing her large EE-cup breasts and well built curvy body, she wore a knee-length pink shirt, but under it was tight acrobatic shorts that were tight on her firm ass.
"She makes a point as with us it's nations against each other, here it is countries with smaller squabbles, some grander than others." Tsunade said having looked into this world's history like Konan.
Konan had to admit she made a point as each of the Akatsuki could level a village to the ground with ease, it was no different than some of the attacks in this world's history.
"What's your opinion on the guardians?" Haku asked them.
They had been silent on the issue for a long time now.
"They're newborn pups at best." Tsume said as they literally just received their powers and abilities, they had no prior training compared to them.
"True, but they are powerful." Konan said as if she would have to place them, she'd say low to mid chunin.
"Power doesn't determine battle, skill does." Tsunade said to her as that was how it was.
"They won't stop because we tell them to." Haku said as being rebellious was what it meant to be a ninja "We will have to either train them or let them fail all on their own." she said to them.
Sadly they all knew that was the truth.
(with Naruto)
'Gotta regain some chakra.' Naruto thought as he was sweating profusely, his attempts at using the Asura Path varied with each attempt as making kunai a simple tool he often used was trickier than one would think 'And I have five more paths, plus the elemental abilities, and wood style.' he thought having a lot on his plate.
(Naruto's seal)
"Ok in the past two days you've called me here more times than you ever have in my entire life." Naruto said to the fox.
"I never called you here till we came to this world brat, you always came to me for chakra." the nine tails said to him flatly "Regardless, as small as it is, you are making progress with those eyes." he said as while Naruto was correct in his earlier assessment of himself, he made much more progress than he realized 'If he keeps up his progress he should master the Rinnegan in as early as six months.' he thought to himself remembering Naruto's wind training, remembering it took him a month's time "Listen close so I can explain the Rinnegan's elemental properties." he said seeing Naruto look at him "Fire is simple find some leaves and dry them up and the advanced version is placing your hands in water and making it into steam, for earth place your hands on soft soil and make it take shape try harder soil for more of a challenge, for lightning use lightbulbs too little power they flicker to much and they bust want harder try using batteries, and finally water you can manipulate existing water from a stream or even a bowl to make it take shape the more solid it is the more control you have but an extremely advanced technique is drawing moisture from the very air." he said as he said the last one bitterly as it was a training method the second Hokage used, it was what made him such a legendary ninja as while not possessing wood style, the fact that he could conjure water unlike other ninja with his element made him the best.
Naruto listened closely as while he couldn't do that in the Infinite City, he would hold onto that information.
The nine tails was silent as Naruto left, he contemplated Naruto's entire existence and the differences between him and his two former hosts 'Is he really the one?' he asked himself for whoever knows how many times.
(with Naruto)
'What other abilities can I work on.' Naruto thought to himself as he felt the 'Deva Path' was out of the question given he was underground and could accidentally reveal the city if he caused an explosion 'Wait a second, I can attract too.' he thought remembering this path had the ability of attraction and repulsion with gravity, he tossed a kunai a fair distance and focused "Universal Pull!" he said seeing the kunai wobble a bit lifting off the ground for a few moments falling back down and staying still.
Naruto attempted this a few more times till the kunai was at his foot 'Why was the Almighty Push so much easier.' he thought to himself guessing it was due to him seeing Nagato use his Pain to perform it so many times.
Naruto sat down to think and list why this was so difficult 'Maybe I'm using too little chakra.' he thought as he started out small when he was trying 'Maybe the weight of the item?' he thought wondering if he used so little chakra that wasn't proportionate to the weight of the kunai.
(with the guardians)
Will Vandom 'leader' of the guardians was lost in thought ever since yesterday, her thoughts were focused on the new arrivals they had in the form of Tsunade, Tsume, Haku, and Konan, but mostly she was focused on the blonde man who they saw when the portal became more clear, he was closing the portal like the heart had done and that alone made her curious.
"...he was so handsome." Cornelia said to Irma as they walked to school talking about the same boy that was on Will's mind.
Irma saw Will and smiled "Wanna tag in?" she asked as dealing with Cornelia was a chore.
"Hey guys!" Hay Lin said coming with Taranee.
"How are your new guests?" Cornelia asked bitterly as ever since she saw their chests she became jealous.
"You know I bet if you suck up enough they might give you tips." Irma said both seriously and sarcastically.
"Really?" Cornelia asked her in hope, not getting a response she became lost in her own little world.
"So how are your powers?" Will asked a bit jealous as compared to the others she had no elemental power, she was just bearer to the heart.
"I keep making things in my house grow." Cornelia said in annoyance.
"I sneezed again." Hay Lin said as she destroyed her room again as a result.
"No problems whatsoever." Irma said as her only problem was water clung to her body making drying so much harder.
"I ugh made some flames bigger." Taranee said as when her mom was cooking, she would not stop talking and as a result of losing her temper, she made the flames over the stove rise.
Will was a bit jealous as having no element made her feel a little left out of the special group she was part of.
(next day)
Naruto gave Caleb more time than he needed 'It's well fortified.' he thought to himself seeing Cedric in the distance carrying a girl 'Wasn't that the girl that helped me shut the portal?' he thought to himself having seen her on the other side of it with her amulet as the both closed it.
(few minutes later)
'Not many options for stealth.' Naruto thought as the number of guards was large and the castle didn't give him many options to hide, following Cedric was the true challenge as snakes could taste the air so he had to keep his distance, he made it to the dungeons and soon found a giant hole, he jumped down and soon regretted it "What the hell died!" he said as even his apartment never smelled this bad.
"Naruto!" Caleb said in relief.
"Plan went down the drain?" Naruto asked him curiously.
"Yes and no." Caleb said to him.
"Great." Naruto said sounding both serious and sarcastic "Naruto Namikaze." he said introducing himself to Will.
"I know your friends mentioned you." Will said nervously shaking his hand.
"Glad they made it through." Naruto said to her in slight relief and then spotter Blunk picking his nose "What the hell is that?" he asked curiously.
"A pasling, they're smugglers." Caleb said to him.
Naruto actually found that interesting.
Blunk looked at Naruto and saw his necklace, he jumped at him trying to grab it, before wincing as Naruto threw him against a wall.
'He might be able to tell how valuable something is…maybe.' Naruto thought seeing pick up some fish bones to use as a comb "Ok time to leave." he said wrapping Blunk in ninja wire as tossing him was enough contact, he grabbed Caleb and Will and began walking up the wall getting surprised yells as they didn't expect this.
Once Naruto made it to the top he put them down.
"That was so cool!" Will said as she was in awe, he could walk up walls.
"Will/Naruto!" a collective of voices said as the group of three looked to see many girls approaching them.
"Good to see you." Naruto said as they all shared looks of acknowledgment glad that they were all alright.
"Here you go girlfriend." Irma said handing her the heart.
(?)
Xin Jing saw the opportunity…and took it.
(with Will)
Will saw the heart shine when it made contact with her and soon it shot a pink beam directly at Naruto.
"Ahhh!" Naruto screamed in pain.
Everyone was shocked looking at the heart and seeing the pink light change from pink to blue to red to gold till it became an iridescent of colors and exploded outwardly.
The ninja all ducked for cover when the heart shot out more beams, but they hit each of the guardians transforming them to their guardian form, but they all looked normal.
"What the hell was that!?" Naruto asked very drained.
'THAT BULLSHIT NECKLACE STOLE OUR CHAKRA!' the nine tails said in anger as he could give a shit about Naruto's chakra, but that thing also stole his.
Everyone was brought out of their surprise when they heard the sound of soldiers coming.
"Ok, bullshit for another time lets get the fuck out of here and wonder what happened later." Tsunade said as there was a time for treatment and time to keep everyone alive.
"Haku Konan we need cover fire." Naruto said as having seen both in action they had the longest range.
Konan nodded preparing some paper bombs as she and Haku had limited options as these creatures had thicker skin and wore armor, meaning their non-lethal attacks were next to useless.
Tsunade kept a close eye on Naruto she had seen him look tired when that beam struck him and given how much it took to slow him down that was alarming 'Chakra depletion?' she thought as she saw the colors the heart had taken, blue was chakra's natural state, red was the nine tails, orange was his sage mode, and she didn't know how to explain what came after 'He has such large reserves though.' she thought as Naruto had a large amount of chakra and it took him a long time to reach the point of chakra exhaustion from having treated him in the past 'Must be in the 80-90% range' she thought taking a guess for his exhaustion 'Is it in the heart…or?' she thought to herself curiously.
"We need to buy time!" Haku said to the others.
Tsunade clenched her fist 'Better keep it low key.' she thought as they were on the bottom of a castle and said castle was at the edge of a cliff, she punched the ground and caused a small tremor making all the guards following them fall over.
"Awesome!" Cornelia said as while jealous of her chest that was pretty cool "Earth!" she said closing some gates.
"I can't smell shit in this castle, it smells like one giant hell hole!" Tsume said in anger as Kuromaru growled in agreement.
'Great I'm low on chakra and we have no idea where we're going.' Naruto thought before Blunk pitched in he knew where to go, given they had zero options they followed him.
They all soon made it to some crevice with bars.
"On it!" Taranee said her finger becoming a blow torch.
Tsume was impressed by that as she did it so naturally, it made her re-evaluate her earlier assessment on the girls skills 'Can I?' she thought to herself raising a finger and focusing on achieving the same results, she began assisting Taranee.
"So who is he?" Cornelia asked looking at Caleb.
"He's the rebel leader." Will said deciding to cut some conversations short and speed things up.
Tsunade raised a brow as he confirmed, he didn't seem that old and given she had seen Kakashi make jonin at the age of 12, she was skeptical and slightly concerned what his qualifications were.
They all heard a roar and saw Caleb take off.
"You guys pry those bars open, Tsunade and I will back up Caleb." Naruto said as given their history with Orochimaru they were best suited.
"Snakes are cold blooded." Haku said making ice appear.
Naruto nodded as they chased after him.
"You know he's kinda hot when he's barking out orders." Irma said to mostly herself.
"I think his whisker marks are adorable!" Hay Lin said brightly.
Tsume rolled her eyes, Naruto was often seen as cat like with those whiskers, which was truly dumb in her mind as he was nothing like a weak cat, she had seen some of his battles in the village and despite fighting mostly like a drunken brawler, his technique had a similarity to her clan, especially when he used his nine tails chakra, she wondered how well her clan taijutsu would fit Naruto.
(with Naruto)
"I am so sick of this snake shit!" Naruto said firing a barrage of senbon.
"How are you doing that?" Haku asked curiously.
"Power of the rinnegan I can make weapons, I started with kunai and senbon." Naruto said as he had to try less with the senbon given they were thinner.
"He took one of my punches and got up." Tsunade said wondering if her de-agement decreased her strength, she knew her reserves were intact, but her physical abilities may have been a fraction of what they were 'That or his skin is on par with a summon.' she thought to herself as her strength was in that category.
"You, who are you?" Cedric asked Naruto flicking his tail knocking out the senbon that pierced his skin.
Naruto was curious as to why he had been singled out "Ok I'll bite, my name is Naruto Namikaze." he said to him.
Cedric didn't know the name and it sounded human, but these humans seemed different than the guardians, especially their powers.
"Ok we did some damage but we gotta go!" Tsunade said as she heard more soldiers coming and saw Hay Lin "You can't fly can you?" she asked curiously seeing Hay Lin appear.
"No, but I can." Konan said right behind her.
"Take Naruto." Tsunade said as Hay Lin took Caleb "Know any ways to move fast?" she asked Haku who grabbed her by her waist and started making mirrors a fair distance away.
(with Konan)
Konan looked at Naruto and saw how pale he was 'He's drained.' she thought as his body must be sore as even with the time since he fought all the Pains, he had been under major chakra strain before his chakra was drained, either alone was manageable, but both was a heavy strain on ones body 'Yet he still chooses to fight.' she thought to herself as his will was impressive as no matter the odds he still rose above them.
They all soon made it out of the castle and were in a swamp.
'Man, I feel exhausted.' Naruto thought to himself needing to build up his chakra back up as he was running on fumes.
As the group closed in on the portal they ground shook and soon rose a monster with irregular body parts.
The ninja watched as the girls engaged it, they spoke no words but worked off each other as if they knew or expected the others move.
The ninja women were impressed guessing they had more potential than they realized.
"Portal now!" Naruto yelled looking at the now encased monster.
They all dashed toward the portal and as they made it through a giant fist grabbed Irma.
"I got you!" Naruto said making clones and grabbed the fist "Will seal the portal now!" he said activating his rinnegan and began sealing it, lightning shooting out of his eyes.
"O-On it!" Will said in urgency as she raised the heart, as she sealed the portal she looked to Naruto's eyes seeing the lightning shooting out.
Both Naruto and Will shut the portal and when it did the fist that captured Irma turned to stone.
"Damn." Tsunade said as space time ninjutsu had risks, being caught in the middle for example often spelled certain death 'But petrification?' she thought now a bit more concerned about portal travel, she walked to Irma and saw she was fine "How you doing?" she asked Naruto as he looked like total hell.
Konan looked at him "Take our chakra." she said as the Preta Path absorbed chakra, she had most of hers as did Tsunade, Haku used a some as well.
Tsunade had forgotten that part still unuse to Naruto being able to use all of the Pains abilities.
The guardians and Caleb watched as the group all put their hands on Naruto and he absorbed it.
Naruto then shot up as if given an adrenaline shot "Man I feel better!" he said feeling he got some chakra restored.
"We better change back." Will said holding the heart before they were all engulfed in light.
"Oh my god!" Cornelia said in delight as she was still in her guardian body, but wearing her normal clothes.
"Ummm someone wanna fill me in?" Naruto asked as all the girls panicked as they looked at themselves and felt their own bodies.
"They were less…developed when we left." Tsume said to him as they seemed to go through a large growth spurt.
"We have a lot of things to fill you in on." Konan said as she heard his stomach growl "After we eat." she said unable to blame him as Meridian reminded her of home, so little and few resources, she doubted Naruto ate anything at all.
(1 hour later)
"My such manners." Yan Lin said with a smile as Naruto ate her food with gusto.
"I won't lie this food is on the same level as Ichiraku." Naruto said to Tsunade as she almost did a spit take at that compliment.
They listened to Yan Lin explain Phobos' search for an heir to Meridian that was here on this side of the veil.
(30 minutes later)
"What the hell are you doing?" Tsume asked him curiously seeing making ingots of silver, iron, and steel.
"Work and advertising." Naruto said to her.
"Advertising?" Konan asked curiously.
"I am putting pervy sage's books online and hardback." Naruto said to her "I have clones doing certain things to gain attention." he said to them.
"Gain attention how?" Tsunade asked curiously before Naruto brought them up the stairs and turned on a small tv "Oh god please tell me you didn't?" she asked seeing many under dressed women were being arrested for wearing erotic clothing but somehow disappeared in a flash of smoke as they pushed out flyers for a book online and that would hit stores in the near future.
"In all honesty he bears no risk." Haku said to her as it was kinda smart as well as his location choices, like the subways, downtown, public places filled to the brim with people.
"I mean how much does this stuff sell for?" Tsume asked looking at all the ingots he made "And why not gold?" she asked him curiously.
"The rinnegan is unable to make ALL metals." Konan said as she once asked Nagato that question years ago.
"Yeah, but I did steal gold and a few jewels from Phobos' treasury, you'll need to handle selling the metals." Naruto said as when he followed Cedric he spotted the treasury and stole a chest sealing it into a storage seal went to see what sales were like, Yan Lin showed him her computer and got to work on learning and with her assistance he published the book, Yan Lin knew of a spell that could translate languages to another the user knew, with her assistance he now had all the books in english and japanese, he kept the price firm and fair, $20 per book and given Jiraiya had a bit over half a dozen if one person bought all it would be good, the first books sold about a thousand copies, the second seven hundred, the third five hundred, fourth two hundred, fifth a little less than a hundred, the fifth a dozen, and the others none yet, he looked at Tales of a Gutsy Ninja and while slow it was in fact selling well 'Wonder how I can advertise this.' he thought to himself, before he collapsed onto the floor.
(few hours later)
"You've put serious strain on your chakra system, you need to take a rest." Tsunade said as she had studied the ability to drain chakra, while it did replenish a person's reserves it wasn't a cure all to chakra strain or exhaustion as if a person kept going the symptoms were often worse "Listen rest and recover alright tomorrow is Saturday and no school so just relax." she said having already told him about their NEW lives here.
Naruto nodded and decided to get some rest in the motel they were at as there were to many of them to stay at the Silver Dragon.
"We sold all the metals and the gold you stole." Konan said to him as they went to scrap yards, metal processing plants, and even jewelers who would melt them down for jewelry.
"Yeah bit shy of a three million dollars." Tsume said as a clan head learning money values was easy "Also here." she said tossing him a smart phone as Yan Lin had put in all their information for them "How much are the books making?" she asked curiously.
Naruto slowly opened his phone taking his time as he showed them the monetary gain which was five million.
"You only informed an entire city how did you make that much?" Haku asked curiously wondering if everyone was a bigger pervert than she thought.
"Yan Lin set me up with a contact in Japan." Naruto said to her as she only asked for 5% on the Japenese sales which was a steal to him "I'm gonna need to up my strategy for sales." he said with a chuckle.
"Naruto you are exhausted and semi rich now, sleep." Tsunade said to him as Yan Lin got all their mail and they all now had credit cards "Listen we're taking the girls shopping alright." she said as they were paying while the girls were acting as their tour guides as the girls' new bodies meant they barely fit into their old clothing.
Naruto felt like arguing, but everything was handled or being handled as it had been less than a day, but he was making a lot of money.
(next day)
"Ok I have to ask, how can I get those?" Cornelia asked Tsunade.
Tsunade was sick of that question, she remembered when Ino and Sakura saw her 13 year old form they asked her a myriad of questions "Carbo loading and physical training." she said as that was pure truth, she often stuffed herself as Naruto did with ramen, she worked her body almost as hard as Naruto does now 'Hell if he learned chakra control he would've surpassed me in strength.' she thought to herself.
"You don't want to try more colors, you seem nice in everything?" Hay Lin asked Haku as Haku seemed to favor more functional and baggy clothing.
Haku felt a bit bad as Hay Lin seemed truly genuine in her praises, but she liked clothes that would aid her in certain situations in combat
"You may want to get more protective clothing." Tsume said to Taranee as fire users often got certain materials or at least covered their clothing in protective substances, similar to Haku using oil on her paper to make them water resistant.
Taranee looked at what Tsume was wearing wondering what something more freeing would be like given she wore baggy clothes, she did like her guardian outfit and the thong she wore felt so freeing.
"So Konan where's Naruto?" Irma asked her curiously.
"Asleep, he has pushed himself hard in recent days and needs today to recover." Konan said to her.
"He didn't look so good last time." Will said to mostly herself.
"Trust me, he's strong, he's to strong willed to let something like this keep him down." Konan said to her.
"Hey can I ask you something about Naruto?" Will asked curiously.
Konan raised a brow wondering what the redhead wished to know and waited for her question not giving her a 'yes' or a 'no'.
"When he closed the portal, his eyes…" Will said trailing off.
'Did she see the rinnegan?' Konan wondered to herself as Naruto could turn it on and off at will and still use the abilities no matter if it was active or not.
"I saw…lighting leaving his eyes." Will said to her.
It took Konan a second to realize what this was 'Right, she is the only guardian without an element.' she thought having found that to be odd, she guessed Will would see the appeal in learning an element the others didn't have "We will begin your training tomorrow or if not then next weekend, I apologize." she said to her as she was unsure what her group's plans were.
Will looked excited about the prospect of training.
They heard yelling and soon saw Tsunade and Tsume crying.
"Why are they crying?" Konan asked Haku wondering why they were making a scene.
"Apparently this world has rules for 'minors' drinking." Haku said as it was basically rules for civillians in their world, but given ninja weren't a thing here or at the very least a popular job where their headbands could get them most things despite their age, they needed to follow the rules.
"...Are they that stupid not to realize they could use a henge?" Konan asked as Haku nodded.
(Hidden Leaf)
Temari was very angry right now, the Akatsuki had struck again, harming the Leaf even worse than her village, what made matters worse was that Naruto had vanished, she had been on her way to the Sand prior to the attack and had only come here by a stroke of luck, the hidden Leaf had a Sand messenger hawk that was keyed into three people, it was her and her siblings, when the village was destroyed it happened upon her as it flew there, Gaara had given it to Tsunade as a way to help Naruto or if the Akatsuki were planning something, when it came to her she rushed back making it back in under an hour, she ran into Kakashi and went to Pain's hideout at the top of a high hill, where they saw an Akatsuki vanish with Nagato's body.
Temari and Kakashi looked around for clues and thanks to Kakashi's sharingan they learned that the space around the hill was compromised, given her knowledge in seals, they sealed the perimeter and began analyzing the chakra, Kakashi stated it was made of Nagato and Naruto's chakra.
Katsuyu had informed them that the Akatsuki member that stole Nagato didn't have Naruto, explaining just before her smaller extension on Naruto vanished along with them.
'Compromised space, did they teleport somewhere?' Temari thought to herself as Kakashi left to the Leaf to get more supplies as they used their blood in place of ink.
(30 minutes later)
"I'm going to say this once, you are trespassing, so leave or be torn to shreds." Temari said spotting three Kumo ninja 'They picked a hell of a time to come here.' she thought to herself, they weren't impressive minus their leader.
"I wasn't aware a Sand ninja had so much pull in their allies territory." the leader said as she saw a large amount of concerning signs on their way here "Apologies, I am Samui, that's Omoi, and that's Karui." she said introducing her team.
"This Sand ninja is a direct aid to the Kazekage, diplomat to the Leaf, and a jonin, I've been given special permission upon my visits and am free to use my time as I see fit, so yes I have pull." Temari said to them seeing the other two tense a bit.
"What happened to the Leaf?" Samui asked seeing the destruction from here.
"The Akatsuki's leader attacked and was defeated by Naruto Uzumaki." Temari said to them.
Samui was silent "We would like to talk to this Naruto Uzumaki if possible, would you say he has intimate knowledge of the Akatsuki?" she asked her curiously.
"He's fought multiple members, personally killed another, and defeated their leader." Temari said seeing their shock.
"We need information on a particular Akatsuki, Sasuke Uchiha." Samui said seeing Temari's eyes raise for a short instance.
'So that idiot really joined.' Temari thought to herself "The Leaf has dated information Naruto is the only one in the past few months battled Sasuke and come to a draw." she said as the last time they met was when Naruto had left the Sand.
Samui was slightly tense, she looked at the destruction and guessed the Akatsuki leader caused that, for someone to match that was insane, but if Naruto and Sasuke were equals the short time span made her see the man her two teammates wanted to kill may have been more powerful than she realized 'We know he defeated the Bee in his 8-tails state, but we received reports it was an even battle.' she thought to herself wondering if Sasuke Uchiha could reach this level of power.
"So where is this Naruto guy?" Karui said impatiently "I mean if he's so great then I'm sure he wouldn't mind lending a hand to help us stop this Sasuke guy." she said tauntingly..
"...I wouldn't bad mouth the man who is close not only with the Kazekage, but the Hokage who I'm sure you remember is stronger than your Raikage." Temari said as it was a simple fact.
"We meant no disrespect." Samui said giving Karui a quick glare "Our village was attacked by Sasuke Uchiha and he took out master." she said to her knowing she'd put the pieces in place.
Temari felt a small moment of sympathy given she was the same way with her brother.
Samui soon noticed something 'Containment seals?' she thought to herself as those were meant to act as containment for prisoners, but they were here and she assumed Temari wrote them, she looked around further seeing a hollow tree made of paper and a strange device in it.
'Oh shit.' Temari thought as this one was smart unlike the other two, if she learned anything about Naruto being missing or how he disappeared certain situations would become complicated.
"You know him don't you." Karui stated looking at Temari "Sasuke Uchiha." she said glaring at Temari.
Temari gripped her fan and then tensed as she saw Karui use lightning chakra on her sword 'Shit!' she thought as lightning chakra was the worst thing this contained area needed, lightning chakra was the absolute last chakra one wanted near contained chakra in a seal of this nature as the person was sending energy that interacted with the chakra which would cause untold results and Karui was unleashing a lot of it.
"You need to stand down, right now." Kakashi said in a no nonsense tone which was rare given how upbeat he was, he had a kunai drawn understanding the same thing as Temari, to his utter dismay Omoi drew his blade and did the same as Karui.
"We have come here peacefully not to instigate conflict with two villages." Samui said to them before the literal air began to crack.
"Everyone-!?" Kakashi was saying till the air broke and created a vacuum.
Karui and Omoi already having drawn their blades stabbed them down to the ground, Samui while only having a tonto wasn't quick enough and was pulled in.
'Shit!' Temari thought as she as well was pulled in.
The portal soon closed leaving Kakashi with Omoi and Karui.
Kakashi took a deep breath and grabbed the two cloud ninja by their necks "You had better pray that you didn't damage this area or the chakra, because I can promise the Leaf and Sand will see this as a declaration of war." he said seeing them sweat bullets in fear from this colossal fuck up on their part.
(with Naruto)
Naruto's eyes shot open and immediately activated the rinnegan which then glowed.
Temari and Samui soon shot out of his eyes and shot up soon landing.
"That was different." Temari said to herself "Nice teammates a real pair of fucking dumbasses, what moron would send those idiots on a diplomatic mission?" she asked seriously wondering.
"The Raikage." Samui said having often questioned his judgement at times like this.
They were interrupted by a mumble, Samui especially as they looked down to see they were on top of someone, more accurately Temari was sitting on the person's lap, while Samui…was sitting on their face in a rather erotic position, they both hopped off and soon saw Naruto.
Temari was glad to have found him and Samui was staring at the rinnegan as the Cloud had a familiarity with the Sage of Six Paths.
(1 hour later)
"I've been gone 2 hours?" Naruto asked her curiously "Oh shit." he said to himself in realization.
"What?" Temari asked curiously as besides being in a new world nothing could shock her.
"Temari I've been here a little over 3 days." Naruto said to her seeing her surprise "I've been reading upon seals and I think given our time differences, 1 day here is close to 1 hour back home." he said to her.
"That may work in our favor for getting home." Samui said before noticing how quiet it got with Naruto.
"We have a way, but we have a problem." Naruto said informing her that his rinnegan was key, but given his lack of knowledge.
"Getting home is a pipe dream." Temari said as traveling dimensions and reality were extremely rare in terms of sealing even for masters, asking Naruto to find a way would be difficult.
"I always knew those two would get me killed." Samui said in annoyance thinking of her teammates "Can you give us a rundown of this world." she said looking out the window.
(1 hour later)
"Hey, are you alright?" Temari asked as he didn't have that same unlimited energy he always seemed to have.
"Been a crazy few days, learned who my dad was, became a new six paths, it all kinda adds up." Naruto said to her.
"You met the fourth Hokage?" Temari asked shocking Samui and Naruto.
"You knew?" Naruto asked in surprise.
"Naruto that's how jinchuriki are chosen, blood relations to kage." Temari said as that was the likely case.
"She's correct it is often village leaders that use a blood relation for them to handle the tailed beast." Samui said as that was the technical method if not villages with tailed beast often picked children with the most chakra or used someone no one would complain about such as orphans like her master.
Naruto sighed as he forgot that when Gaara told him about that as he was born with Shukaku.
"Yeah I mean it never struck you to ask why you were chosen?" Temari asked as she always assumed it was a secret on the Leaf's part, she and her siblings just never ran their lips given what he had done for them "I-I'm sorry we thought you knew." she said to him.
Naruto sighed as he could sense her honesty and in reality, he should've asked those questions himself.
"So you're a jinchuriki as well." Samui said in realization 'He isn't trained like Bee, if he used the nine tails chakra…' she thought having seen a tailed beast lose control before.
"So Temari, who is she?" Naruto asked looking at Samui.
"A hidden cloud ninja with a pair of dumbasses for teammates." Temari said to him simply.
Before Samui could answer Tsunade, Tsume, Haku, and Konan came in and were shocked seeing more ninja here.
(2 hours later)
The group had to go shopping again for their new additions along with asking Yan Lin to make forms for them as well.
Samui was wearing a black t-shirt it was tight on her model like body and showed a healthy amount of her G-cup bust, she wore grey charcoal jeans that was tight on her round ass, and low-heeled shoes.
Temari wore a purple no-sleeve shirt that showed off her FF-cup breasts and had a tight form-fitting open hoodie around her smooth athletic body, she wore a medium-length combat skirt and while it hid her nice firm ass one could still make it out, and she got herself some stockings that would act as leggings for her as winter was coming.
(later at the Silver Dragon)
"So Sasuke joined the Akatsuki." Naruto said a bit downcast as Samui explained the situation.
Tsunade sighed 'That damn ignorant fool.' she thought to herself as she had an inkling WHY Sasuke was part of the Akatsuki, the ones who knew Itachi was a plant was a short one, it was the elders, Jiraiya, her sensei, and herself, while it was true the Uchiha had been given a raw deal, but they wanted to try and take over the Leaf, part of their plan was using Naruto and forcing him to unleash the nine tails thinking their visual prowess would control it, while other plans involved attacking the other clans as the Uchiha had intimate knowledge of the leaf so they knew much if not everything like the anbu, given Sasuke knew word would spread regardless, so she explained what she had been told to the group.
Naruto was silent not sure how to answer or feel about this.
Samui asked which of the two would win in a fight.
"Naruto…but something has me concerned, Sasuke killed Itachi, meaning he has the mangekyo sharingan, but it also means he has Itachi's eyes." Tsunade said as she explained how she had studied the Uchiha eye transfer, it combined both separate visual prowess into one making the mangekyo into eternal mangekyo, the risks were no longer present with the eternal variant, the user would no longer go blind, but it also increased their chakra capacity "And Sasuke has been under Orochimaru's care for years." she said reminding Naruto that Orochimaru used performance-enhancing materials on Sasuke to increase his chakra and abilities.
Temari had heard of materials and experiments like that, she doubted Orochimaru would use anything harmful on him.
Samui paused as the Cloud had tried certain things like that such as research for the tailed beasts, the previous jinchuriki of the 8 tails was a subject of many such tests it was why his health deteriorated and they had to develop a cure, but to no avail.
Tsume looked to Tsunade as there was something she didn't say, drugs such as those often had similar results, much like when someone ate too many food pills, or the Akamichi specialty food pills, and other such items 'A shortened life…and death.' she thought to herself as if she had to guess Sasuke was doing all sorts of things to himself to make himself stronger.
Konan had briefly seen Sasuke and knew that would likely be Naruto's greatest challenge as he was just like Madara.
Haku felt sadness, Sasuke was a ninja with honor when they fought on the bridge all those years ago, and she wondered how he had lost himself to the darkness so deeply.
