AN:This is just an idea that had been in my mind for a while. I don't know if i'll continue it as i have other fics to work on.

Side note, i should really stop writing new fics tbh.


Chapter 1

''Sensei!'' Naruto called out to the man to the left of him as they traversed through the dense forest in an attempt to catch up with their target.

Their target, which happened to be flying up ahead on a large clay bird while barraging them with small explosives. Small glimpses could be seen every now and then when they would be passing by a clearing.

Blue eyes narrowed as Naruto spotted another small clearing up ahead. Deciding to take his chances he channeled a small amount of chakra to his feet before propelling himself forward.

''Wait! Naruto…'' Kakashi began only for his words to fall on deaf ears as he watched his student quickly gain speed.

Reaching the clearing he flashed through a set of hand seals with speeds that would make Kakashi proud while simultaneously shocked that his student was capable of nature transformation. Taking a deep breath he aimed upwards before shooting out several small wind bullets.

''Fuuton: Vacuum Sphere.'' He intoned as he watched his jutsu travel upwards just as their target flew above them.

Kakashi caught up to his student and watched as the small wind bullets Naruto had shot out created holes in one of the clay bird's wings.

A small smirk graced his features as with their enhanced eyesight they could see the shocked expression their target wore as the clay bird destabilized.

Deciding that he could question Naruto later, Kakashi quickly moved towards the location he estimated their target had crashed, Naruto right on his heels. They arrived at the area and spotted several trees that had been destroyed as a result of the crash. The large clay bird laid there in the middle but their target was nowhere to be seen.

Creating two clones Naruto sent them towards the crashed bird where they quickly got to work as they removed some of the clay that kept Gaara, the fifth Kazekage and the reason they were after them in the first place captive.

Having dug out Gaara, the clones quickly returned while carrying him before Naruto commanded them to look after them.

Just in time too as Kakashi ran through a set of seals, a thick, dirt wall rising into existence as the bird exploded barely a second later. Even from behind it they could feel the heat as the explosion chipped off the sides of the wall.

Sensing a build-up of chakra from beside them they looked only to come face to face with a small clay animal. Understanding what was happening Naruto and Kakashi jumped away, the former sending a mental command for his clones and Gaara to do the same.

The small animal exploded with enough force to render the remains of the wall to dust along with a small crater with it.

Naruto's eyes darted from side to side before spotting their target hiding behind some bushes and waved his arm in his direction. Kakashi was about to ask what it was that he did but silenced himself as his sharingan managed to catch a thin blade of wind flying in the direction he had waved.

Dust kicked up as the wind blade impacted the ground used previously by their target who had come out of hiding.

His long blond hair that was tied in a ponytail was covered in dirt and small amounts of blood. Blood which also leaked out of his mouth though he still held a smirk. One of his arms was missing and the black cloak he wore was in tatters.

''That was unexpected, un.'' Deidara muttered after narrowly escaping death. His lone visible eye was staring intently at the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki who had displayed feats they weren't aware of such as elemental manipulation or the fact that he was supposed to be much more emotional and easily goaded.

One look in those blue eyes of his and Deidara knew he had made a grave mistake previously taunting him as his eyes spelled death for those who would oppose him.

The arrival of several chakra signatures behind them got everyone's attention as team Guy appeared, each of them looking a little roughen up but otherwise they seemed fine.

''Yo Kakashi, everything alright?'' Guy greeted his fellow Jonin and rival.

Deidara cursed as he knew his chances of survival had basically plummeted dramastically with the arrival of an extra team. Narrowing his eyes in though a smirk crept its way onto his face as he thought of something that might allow him to get away.

While they were still distracted by the arrival of the new team he snuck his hand into his back before retrieving some clay just as their attention went back to him they saw him ingesting said clay and his body warping.

''Art IS A BANG!'' Deidara screamed and Kakashi yelled for them to get back. His eye began changing to its Mangekyo state just in time as Deidara blew up in a massive explosion.

''Kamui!'' Kakashi said the same moment Deidara had exploded as space began to distort in front of all of them. Surely enough, Kakashi was able to keep the explosion contained as he sent it all to a different place. To where? Even he himself didn't know.

Unfortunately however, he didn't notice the small crack that had formed the moment he began sending the explosion away. Naruto on the other hand did as easily could tell that it was bad news as he could feel himself getting sucked into the crack. A quick look to his side he could see the rest was experiencing the same problem but were unsure of the cause.

His brain quickly figured out that if someone didn't do anything then Kakashi would lose his balance and therefore unable to send the rest of the explosion away, no doubt resulting in everyone's death.

Closing his eyes with a resigned sigh he kept his eyes on the crack that seemed to be increasing in size as dirt began to get swallowed up. ''Sensei, tell Baa-chan i'm sorry.'' Before Kakashi could ask what he meant Naruto darted forward. He paid no mind to the screams belonging to team Guy.

''Keep focusing Kakashi!'' He yelled at the man as he was expecting him to stop. A second later he reached the crack before, much to everyone's shock, he jumped right in.

''Naruto!'' They all called his name after having seen him disappear in front of his eyes. Neji activated his Byakugan in hopes of seeing him but got nothing.

By now Kakashi had managed to send the blast away though he clenched his fist as he had seen what his student had done.

''Naruto…'' He mumbled as Guy's students ran past him to where Naruto suddenly disappeared. A hand touched his shoulders and he looked behind him to see Guy looking at him, a serious expression marring his face.

''I know what you're thinking but it was his choice. He sacrificed himself to ensure our safety. We should think were he was sent of to once we get back to Konoha and inform Hokage-sama what happened.''

Kakashi sighed and nodded. ''You're right Guy. It's just…'' He trailed off as Guy nodded, understanding what he meant.

''I understand but for now we have to deal with the Kazekage, speaking of which.'' He turned around to where he was laying. The clones that previously had been guarding him had dispelled the moment Naruto had disappeared before their eyes.


Sitting behind her desk in the Hokage's office was Tsunade Senju, the fifth Hokage. Currently she was looking over several requests belonging to clans and merchants regarding an increase in funding.

She scowled a bit as some of the request were borderline absurd, the fact that several merchants were demanding more guards for their shops only agitated her further.

Thankfully she was saved from destroying the desk in front of her as her assistant, Shizune walked. She raised an eyebrow at the expression she wore before Shizune mentioned team Guy and Kakashi had returned.

A moment later both teams entered and she allowed her eyes to wander each of them before furrowing her brow as she looked them over once more.

Guy, Lee, Neji, Tenten, Kakashi, Sakura, Naruto…

Wait! Naruto?

Her eyes scanned everyone in the room with increasing speeds and her breathing quickened in response to her distress at not seeing the spiky haired blond in the room with them.

''Kakashi! Where is Naruto?'' She practically demanded while doing her best to calm her rapidly beating heart.

Upon the mention of his name everyone present lowered her head as she released a gasp. Her hand came up as her worst fears seem to have come through.

''...No..'' She muttered before shaking her head. ''He can't… He-''

''Tsunade-sama! Naruto isn't dead!'' Kakashi quickly spoke as he didn't want to wait and see what was going to happen.

''Not dead..'' She repeated as she sighed in relief. Her breathing calmed down to its usual pace. Before leveling them with a glare that promised death should the next answer be insignificant. ''Tell me… Where. Is. He?''

Here Kakashi scratched the back of his head, wondering how he should break it to her. ''Honestly Tsunade-sama? We have reason to believe that Naruto has been swallowed up in a dimensional tear.''

Silence. That is what met his answer as Tsunade looked at like he just told her a joke.

''A dimensional tear?'' She repeated. ''Kakashi, you know the punishment for lying to your Hokage, correct?''

''It's true Hokage-sama.'' Neji butted in. ''We saw it with our own eyes. Naruto told Kakashi to apologise to you for him while he was busy defending us from an explosion that would've killed us. We couldn't even ask him what he meant before he shot forward. First we thought he was going to kill himself by running towards the explosion but instead he ran slightly to the side of it. Then, before we could react he was suddenly gone. Not even my Byakugan could pick up anything.''

Tsunade looked at the rest who nodded, confirming what Neji said was true.

Kakashi picked up the story. ''Tsunade-sama, we have reason to believe Naruto acted to save all of us. While i initially didn't notice during the time i was sending the explosion away whatever it was that swallowed up Naruto would've killed us has he not done so. Once i was done we all noticed that we had moved several feet closer to the explosion than when we started. A few inches more and i would no doubt slipped, therefor breaking my concentration and the explosion would have swallowed us all.''

''So what you're saying is that Naruto once again sacrificed himself for the greater good? Hmph, at least this time it was on his own choice.'' Referencing to the fourth Hokage sealing the Kyuubi in Naruto.

''Anyway, this might not be completely bad.'' She mused as she grabbed an empty paper and began to write. ''While dimensional travel isn't anything new, the circumstances surrounding Naruto's case are. Usually it happens with a person attempting a jutsu such as Kuchiyose no Jutsu… I'm sending a letter to Jiraiya and order him to come back. He should have more information regarding these matters... This isn't completely terrible for Naruto either as without him the Akatsuki can't continue their goals unless one of their members is well versed in the dimensional travel.'' She tapped her fingers on her desk before looking up at those present.

''Take the rest of the day off. Kakashi, Guy i expect a report on my desk by tomorrow.'' She received two nods from both Jounin. ''Dismissed!''

''Didn't you hear me Kakashi? I said you are dismissed.'' Tsunade looked at the Jonin who was still present.

''You did Tsunade-sama but i want to ask something else.''

''Hoh? And that is?''

''During the mission Naruto displayed a mastery of the wind element. I'm wondering if Jiraiya-sama mentioned anything of it as he didn't use any elemental Jutsu during our test.''

Tsunade quickly shook her head. ''No he didn't. Jiraiya said he had only improved the basics along with his taijutsu. Aside from that he tried to increase Naruto's control over the Kyuubi but had stopped after a certain incident.''

''I see. Would you mind i would be present when Jiraiya-sama returns?''

Tsunade waved her hand dismissively. ''No that's fine. You have first hand witnessed his usage in wind manipulation which will help.''

Kakashi bowed his head in thanks before with a poof of smoke he was gone. Indicating the usage of a shunshin.


A groan escaped Naruto's mouth as he slowly regained consciousness. The first thing he realised as he moved his limbs was that every bone in his body hurt. So much that he had to bite back a scream that threatened to escape his dry throat.

The next thing he noticed was that he was currently laying in what he would aptly name the most comfortable bed he'd ever rested on. Nothing could compare to the comfort he felt as he just laid there. Not his own bed in his apartment nor the bed's he had slept on during missions or the rare occasions he and Jiraiya would stay at a hotel during their training trip.

Though the constant beeping that was reaching his ears was something he could do without really.

So, with much effort his eyes slowly fluttered open, only for him to close them quickly as he was assaulted by a light that was way too bright for the moment.

After a few seconds he once more opened his eyes, this time much slower. As his eyes opened he was greeted to the sight a blank ceiling with the only thing on their being the lights.

But, it looked different. A lot different from any hospitals he's been in.

Eyes darted downwards he noticed the room he was in was also much more… How'd he say, modern? Technologically advanced?

Regardless though it surpassed anything he had ever seen, even Snow Country didn't have this kind of technology the last time he'd been there.

He then slowly turned his head, ignoring the small ache he felt when doing so as he stared right at the source of the beeping noise he had been hearing.

He raised his eyebrows as he looked at the strange screen that displayed some numbers and a weird pulse that went along with its beeping. It took him a few moments before he noticed it was attached to him, realizing that it was beeping along with his heartbeat.

'Interesting…' He inwardly mused before going back to inspecting the room he was in. It was kind of empty aside from the bed, the weird machine next to him, a few paintings on the wall, a nightstand next to the bed and that was it really.

The sound of the door opened gained his attention as he turned and looked as a young woman walked in. She had light brown hair and forest green eyes which were focused on some papers she seemed to be reading.

She was quite a beauty if he would compare her to some kunoichi's back home.

He cleared his throat in an attempt to get her attention which worked as the young woman looked up from her papers. He saw her eyes widen briefly before she swiftly turned around leaving him alone, blinking as he wondered what just happened.

His unasked question was answered when the door leading to the room he was in opened once more a minute or two later.

Immediately a blush formed on his whiskered cheeks as his eyes took in the inhuman beauty of the woman that had entered the room.

She had blonde hair a shade or two lighter than his own set in a single ponytail that went down her legs, a few strands framing the side of her face. Exotic golden looking eyes which stared at him with almost smothering intensity. She was clad in a red hakama with over it a white haori which did nothing to hide her voluptuous figure or her larger than average chest.

Man, if Jiraiya were here the man would've died from a nosebleed ten times over.

However, what got his attention and caused his eyes to widen to their extremes were the nine bushy looking golden fox tails and the two fox ears that peaked out from between her hair.

Yet despite that it only added to her beauty and the words left his mouth before realized what he said.

''...Beautiful.'' His eyes widened as he understood what he just said and, judging from the slight pink that dusted her pale cheeks so did she.

Before he could apologize however the blonde woman spoke up, having pushed down her blush at the unexpected compliment he had graced her with. ''Tell me, what are you?'' Even her voice was soft, soothing even and Naruto felt a shiver run down his spine.

He opened his mouth to reply before stopping himself upon realizing she said what, not who. ''Excuse me?'' He asked her with curiosity lacing his voice. ''What do you mean, what am i?'' He expected her to ask for his name, not what he is.

He saw her narrow her eyes slightly at him, like she thought he was playing with her. ''Exactly like i asked, what are you? I can sense you have chakra in you but i can also tell you aren't a Youkai. While i can sense a deep darkness coming from your stomach area i can tell it's not your own either. So tell me, what are you?''

''I'm… human?'' He said though it came out more like he was questioning himself. He panicked slightly upon her mentioning she could sense the malevolent nature of the Kyuubi that's sealed inside of him. He initially wondered if they had some relation between the two but quickly shook that idea out of his mind as there was no way that could be possible.

The woman in front of his gave him a scrutinizing stare for a few second before she eventually nodded. Unable to find a lie in his words though that didn't meant she was done with him yet though.

''Very well. What is your name?''

''I am Uzumaki Naruto, pleasure to meet you miss…'' He trailed off as he wasn't aware of her name.

''Oh!'' The blonde woman held an embarrassed blush as she realized she hadn't even introduced herself. ''I am Yasaka, leader of Kyoto and its Youkai.'' She gestured to her nine tails that calmly swayed behind her back.

Naruto couldn't help but stare at the appendages with awe as he wondered how they soft they were as they looked really soft.

''Ahem.'' He heard her speak and got out of his daze. An embarrassed blush sporting his cheeks as he was caught staring. Though for some reason the woman in front of him was blushing as well.

''Ah! Sorry Yasaka!'' He apologized but the woman merely waved her hand, making it clear she was fine. Though inwardly she was somewhat surprised by the lack of ''sama'' or ''dono'' suffix he had added to her name. It was quite refreshing from everyone else she had heard it from.

An awkward silence then filled the room as Naruto and Yasaka were left staring at one another.

''So… what now?'' Naruto eventually asked.

''Well~'' She took a couple steps till she stood next to his bed before peeling off the covers covering him. ''Oh my…'' He heard her mumble in thin-veiled amazement as she looked him over. Taking note of the muscle his body had despite appearing not even older than eighteen. ''...Not even a single scar except this one.'' He shivered as he felt her soft fingers trace the scar left behind when Sasuke had impaled him with his chidori covered fist.

''Ah, i always heal quick hehe.'' He told her as Yasaka nodded her head before continuing her inspection of his body. ''So, do you think i can leave? I really hate hospitals.'' He grumbled and she giggled softly which sounded absolutely beautiful to his ears.

''Yes~ but! I'd like to offer you to stay here.'' Seeing his expression she explained. ''We found you covered in blood and your clothes in tatters in one of the many fields here in Kyoto. While you explained you usually heal quickly you can never be to sure, correct? I'm also a bit more curious about you.'' The look she sent him caused his cheeks to heat up but he didn't seem to notice. ''You said you were human but it's impossible for a human to use chakra. I myself have some theories which have to do with your sudden appearance in my territory but i won't indulge in those until i can get a better idea of who you are, Uzumaki Naruto.''

Naruto's choice was clear the moment she said he was in Kyoto. There was not a single place like such in the Elemental Nations. Combined with the extremely advanced technology they had here and the surprise of these… Youkai that he, a human was capable of using chakra he knew he was no longer anywhere in the Elemental Nations. No doubt the weird phenomenon regarding the tear that happened back with Kakashi and the rest was enough proof that he was in, as weird as it sounded, a completely different world.

Strangely enough he didn't feel particularly sad about that fact. If anything he felt like a massive weight was removed off of his shoulders. A weight that had been placed by the Akatsuki's presence looming over his existence as a Jinchuuriki. But here, in this world there was no such thing. While he doubted this world was without its own conflicts at least they didn't involve him.

Letting his mind wonder he turned and looked at Yasaka to see her gazing expectantly at him. He flashed her a smile before he spoke. ''I would like that very much, thank you.''

Yasaka clasped her hands together as a beautiful smile stretched onto her face. ''Great! I'll let the doctor know you're okay to leave. I will also send someone with some clothes that'll fit you.''

Thanking her once more he watched as she turned around, her tails swiftly moving with her with such grace and he could hear her footsteps as she left his room.

Releasing a deep breath Naruto let himself fall back into the bed he was laying in. He didn't get to enjoy it for long however as seconds after his head hit the pillow he was called into the familiar surroundings which belonged to his seal.

Frowning, he stared up at the ceiling of the hallway he found himself in. A part of his body submerged in water though he paid it no mind. Instead he released a audible groan as he stood up before he began traversing through the ankle deep water, his destination being the location he could sense the fox was at.

It took a couple of seconds but he finally arrived before the enormous golden cage that kept the Kyuubi at bay. Worry began to fill his mind the second his eyes lay prey on the deteriorating seal that kept it closed off before he shifted his attention to the pair of large crimson pupils that stared at him.

''Naruto… Do you have any idea what you have done?!'' The Kyuubi spoke as it growled at him.

Naruto furrowed his brows before nodding hesitantly. ''Yes? I entered that weird crack that had formed when Kakashi was dealing with the explosion… Why?''

In response the Kyuubi growled louder before sending out a wave of his malevolent chakra. Naruto stiffened in response before calming his mind to his best ability in order to counter the feeling of death that had assaulted him. ''Look down foolish boy!''

The Bijuu screamed and Naruto did what it said only for his eyes to widen even more than when he had first lay his eyes on Yasaka. There, in the ankle deep water and staring back at him was his own reflection. Though there were several differences that warranted his reaction.

The first thing he noticed was that his eyes changed from blue to deep purple and his pupils had thinned into slits. The second thing he noticed was that he seemed a bit taller, older even as his face had gotten a tiny bit more angular.

However, the main change that gotten most of his attention were the now two blond fox ears on the top of his head along with the two golden tails similar to Yasaka's own.

''..What.''

His head shot up as he looked the massive Bijuu in the eye with an accusing gaze. ''What did you do to me!'' He yelled with a mixture of shock and.. wonder?

The Bijuu scoffed. ''I didn't do a thing boy! It was your own fault for jumping into that dimensional tear! Who does that? A fool that is who! And now look what's happening.'' The large fox sniffed as it took a few steps forward allowing Naruto to see the Bijuu in its entirety. Raising an eyebrow at what it was doing his eyes traveled over the titanic form of the Bijuu. Then, his eyes widened as his gaze settled on the cause of the Fox's torment.

As there, swaying behind the Bijuu were its tails. All seven of them.

''What happened to your tails! Don't tell me-'' He quickly looked down at his reflection before back Kyuubi's tails.

''Yes! My beautiful tails. Gone! All because of you!''

''Ah-uh-but… how?'' He sputtered as he looked at the Bijuu for answers.

''Traveling dimensions requires a strong body and life force and while your Uzumaki blood helps it's not enough by far. It took everything i had to keep you alive which resulted in what's happening right now. To put it simply boy, you are absorbing me. I don't know how that is possible but it has to do something with the seal that accursed Yondaime used!'' The Kyuubi threw its head back as it roared in anger.

''... How long.'' Naruto asked after a few tense moment of silence. ''How long until i… absorb you as you put it?''

The Kyuubi huffed before it lay down on its two hands. ''A few months, a year maybe. It depends on the rate you are assimilating my chakra and how much your body can hold though it could be much longer.''

Naruto opened his mouth to ask another question but was beaten to the punch as the Bijuu spoke first. ''You're wondering how that fox woman, Yasaka didn't see your new appendages?'' Naruto's eyes widened slightly as the Bijuu was correct. ''Unlike your changed eyes and body which i guarantee she didn't miss, you need to ''will'' your tails and ears into existence for them to show up.''

Naruto rose an eyebrow before he concentrated and felt something shift around his body. Turning his head he watched in awe as behind him two golden tails were swaying, both appearing to be attached to his tailbone. Moving his hands up next he cupped his fox ears though was disappointed he couldn't feel actually any fur, something he wrote off as being due to not being in the real world.

''I see. Thank you for telling me this Kyuubi, you don't seem so bad after all though that might have something to do with the situation we are in. I will go back to the outside world for now… I will come and visit you, if you want at least… perhaps there's something in this world that can keep you alive.'' With that Naruto turned around, missing the slight widening of the Bijuu's eyes at his words before it scoffed and closed.

''We'll see Naruto… But, perhaps you are the one the old man spoke about.''


Outside Naruto opened his blue eyes before looking towards the nightstand next to the bed were now a pair of clothes were laying.

Kicking of the sheets covering his form he slowly stepped out of bed, groaning along the way before stretching his arms above his head from not using them for a while.

Grabbing the articles of clothing Naruto unfolded them to see it was a black kimono and with an orange obi that went along with it. He wondered if it was coincidence that they went with orange or not. While the kimono didn't look like anything special just the feel of it made Naruto quickly realize that it was of very high quality, much like those kimonos he would often see nobles walk around with. Securing the obi he grabbed the next piece of clothing which revealed to be black yukata matching nicely with the kimono he wore.

Glancing down he spotted a pair of sandals quite unlike shinobi sandals these were much more casual and put them on.

Rolling his shoulders once and satisfied with how the clothes felt he exited the room he had occupied, only to almost walk straight into a older looking male who bowed his head slightly towards him upon noticing him.

''Uzumaki Naruto?'' The old man spoke quietly and he quickly nodded his head.

''Yes?''

''Follow me please, Yasaka ordered me to lead you to her as she has to discuss several things with you including where you will be staying during your time here.''

''Alright, lead the way.'' He said with a nod of his head.

He indeed had nowhere to stay especially given that this was a completely new world or dimension though he was unsure what the difference between the two were. So with that in mind he silently followed the older man outside.
