Naruto stood up with legs wobbling and stumbling out of the capsule he'd been put within. Blinded by the sudden light he found himself in, he shook his head and rubbed his eyes, blinking until he was able to see again.
And upon seeing his surroundings, Naruto knew he was in trouble. Where the hell was he?!
The rocky mountain ranges surrounding him would have been a massive, natural stronghold, but at his current height, it might as well have been the walls of a Gods' stronghold, built from much of the surrounding rock and stone. This was somewhere he had never seen before!
Stumbling back, he caught sight of his new body in the bright, actually reflective surface of the capsule. Clearly, that redhead giantess had done it to mess with the Uzumaki further.
Naruto looked at himself. His newfound, synthetic body had tousled white hair, thin eyebrows a very pale skin complexion, golden eyes with slitted pupils, and pronounced cheekbones. Other than that, he was completely bare naked.
What annoyed him was between the skin tone and eyes, and even in somewhat of the facial structure with his cheekbones, he looked almost like Orochimaru. Not exactly, but close enough to be seen as related to the bastard...would certainly make convincing people of who he was harder then he would have liked....
Ok. So he was tiny, stuck in an unfamiliar place and an artificial body, not so much as clothes on his back, no idea if he could use any techniques, and the Kyubbi was in the clutches of a madman.
Yeah....this felt like the perfect time to panic. Still, he had learned long ago that if you had time to piss and moan about a bad situation, then you had enough time to pick yourself up and find a way to fix things. So that was what he had to do.
So, that was what he was going to do. First thing first: where was he?
Suddenly, the ground shook and the former blonde fell over at the unexpected quake. As he scampered to his feet, another one came. Over and over in a rythm of one after another.
Naruto looked up as he braced himself as best he could against the rhythmic quakes that, due to what he had seen earlier with that redhead, he realized had to be footsteps.
The problem being, with everything shaking, he had no exact idea where the quakes were coming from. It didn't help that he was completely inexperienced in how well stone could transmit vibrations! He was mainly used to forests!
As the steps got closer, Naruto's jaw dropped as he suddenly found himself in shadow and had to turn around behind him and crank his head up as much as he possibly could, all to see...
