Chapter #3Start of his quest, a new ally and teacher by: Dylan M "Who are you?" Naruto asked
"We are the Elder Gods." one said to him "We require your aid, we have been observing you for quite some time now, Our enemy is called "The One Being", a single councousness that aims to unmake all life to insure it lives up to its name."
"Alright, I'll help you." Naruto said, knowing that if this One Being and those that fallowed it succeded, all existance would ceacse to be.
"Thank you Naruto. Before you begin your quest, you should know that there are more than one realm. In order they are: Earth-realm, Neather-realm, Outworld, Chaos-realm, Order-realm and Edeinea, Take care."
With that, the elder gods sent Naruto to Seido, the Order-realm.
As soon as he got there, Naruto heard something that sent chills running down his spine.
"Darrius, our Master Plan is compleate, all we need do is inact it."
"Good." Darrius said "Soon Seido's laws will spell its undoing."
"What of Hotaru?"
"He cannot stop what he dose not understand, our plan cannot be stopped without seeing and understanding our Master plan." Darrius said coldy.
Naruto fallowed Darrius and the others with him and, as soon as he had a clance, snatched the plans. Darrius gave a cry of alarm and outrage at the unfimilare theif and chased him. Naruto spotted some of the guards of Seido and ran up to them, out of breath and despratly trying to tell them of the plan to overthrow Seido.
"Where's....Hotaru? I...Have...something important...to tell him about...what Darrius is up to." The guards nodded and soon Hotaru stood befor Naruto.
"Mr. Hotaru, Sir, I found out that..."
"You are in obstruction of the laws of Seido, Toss him into the Neatherrealm!" Hotaru said and his guards obeayed him and Naruto, kicking and screamin that he could explaine, was tossed into a red portal. As soon as he landed he saw some gastly creatures, they looked human but had ugly faces, spikey jaws, and blades protruding from they'er wrists.
"Well, well, well. Lokk what we have here. You look like you have never seen Tarkata before, so allow us to teach you of our kind." one said. A while later, Naruto was hanging from a giant skull by ropes made of flames and the Tarkata stabbing at him with they're blades, trying to get him to scream, but he just grit his teeth and bared the agony, it wasn't all that diffrent from how he was treated back in the Leaf villagewhen he was five, anyways.
Minutes became hours and the Tarkata were starting to get bord. Suddenly a figure in yellow lept seamingly out of nowhere and begain to fight the Tarkata, breaking lims and crushing skulls in they're wake, Naruto caught a glimps of whoever it was and his heart lept, the one who was fighting his tormentors looked like a...!

By mere chance, The Shirai-Ryu warrior, Scorpion had seen what the Tarkata were doing, as he reconized the figure they were "amusing" themselves with, his rage flaired to life. it was only a young boy! He jumped in among the Tarkata's rank and proceaded to slaughter the vile creatures, if they enjoyed death and torture so much, they deserved this. Scorpion caught the eye of the boy and in that instant, felt like they knew the other was an ally, Scorpion finished off the last Tarkata and took the boy down. He had passed out due to blood loss.
"I need to get you out of here." Scorpion said and took a way out of the Neatherrealm only the Shirai-Ryu knew of. He emerged in the territories of the Shirai-Ryu clan. For days, Scorpion nursed the boy back to heath, he was aided in this by an unknown power, a red energy that seemed to come from the boy's body, but didn't belong to a human. Scorpion then looked into the boy's memory, and her gasped in shock. This boy was a ninja-in-training?! He learned of Naruto's, as the boy was named, training habbits; that he worked until he passed out and got right back to what he was doing when his streanth returned, his past, that he drew upon the streanth of those that protected what the cared for frequently, the promise he made to Sakura, the battle at The Vally of the End, how the villagers took it upon themselves to banish him. Scorpion was surprised to learn of the Nine-Tailed Fox sealed inside of the boy.
Naruto would make a fine member of the Shirai-Ryu.

After he didn't-know-how-long, Naruto awoke to see the ninja who saved him looking down at him.
"So...Do you want to continue the path you've chosen?" he asked, Naruto didn't need to know what this man ment and nodded, he new teacher first taught him the
History of the group he was going to be part of. The Shirai Ryu was formed many years ago by a Lin Kuei warrior named Takeda. He eventually grew tired of the Lin Kuei and left the clan. However, leaving the clan is punishable by death, and Takeda was sought after by Lin Kuei assassins. He left China and returned to his homeland in Japan, where he offered his services to the lords and generals. His art gradually spread throughout Japan and developed into the art of ninjutsu. In addition to teaching his new art form, he also taught modified versions of Lin Kuei tactics, as well as revealing many of their secrets. This only further infuriated the Lin Kuei when Takeda's teachings became well-known with many followers throughout Japan. His followers became known as the Shirai-Ryu. The Shirai-Ryu and Lin Kuei became tremendous rivals. Takeda's clan mocked the Lin Kuei by dressing in similar outfits of yellow color and teaching modified versions of their own secrets. He managed to avoid many assassination attempts well into his later years. He was eventually killed by poison in his tea. It was never known if Lin Kuei was responsible for his death. The animosity between Lin Kuei and Shirai-Ryu continued after his death, as the Shirai-Ryu became more prominent. Naruto traned under Scorpion for months, and the later was stunned at the boy's growth in the was of the Shirai-Ryu, he fought well with his jutsus from the village hidden in the leaves and the Nine-tailed fox's power, both added to his training under Scorpion making him a force to fear. Soon, Naruto was a full member-in-training and wore the Shirai-Ryu uniform with pride in his progress. He still had to compleate his training, but after receving his teacher's premission, took time off his training to find new member of the clan and test his skills out in the real world. indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
