35Chapter 1 Feeling a Surge
Emptiness.
That is what I felt after the final collision between me and Kaguya, the Rabbit Goddess.
I didn't know where I was.
All I know is that I was surrounded in an endless black void.
I didn't know how long I was there.
The only comfort was that I got Kurama with me to keep me company.
The downside was that no matter where I went it was always the same thing.
Endless darkness.
Strangely enough I gained a new power.
The power over electricity and lightning.
I was able to use it in ways never been used before.
But I wasn't complaining. I actually quite liked it.
Oddly enough the strangeness continued.
I heard a voice that was not Kurama's telling me that my body changed on me.
Saying a wasn't a human anymore.
I was something else.
It said I was a spirit.
The voice never simplified what that was. Only that it was a being with tremendous power.
As time went on with me learning my new powers while also keeping myself fit, I began to wonder how many days went by.
Weeks?
Months?
Years?
Decades?
I never knew the answer to my question.
Then one day all that changed when I saw a bright light appear before me and I felt myself being pulled towards.
I was thinking,
"Is this the day I leave the void?"
Before I could think anything else, the light grew brighter and brighter.
Til suddenly.
I was out.
Unknown Location
"Spacequake confirmed at the point."
"Its presence has been confirmed as well!"
"It seems like an entirely different one."
"It's here..."
"Yeah, but far ahead of schedule."
In a city
The streets were devastated because a phenomenal called a spacequake.
Spacequakes are disturbances in space that destroy everything in their wake. The first one appeared on the Eurasia border 30 years ago, killing millions and laid waste to cities, towns, and villages when they touch down. Afterwards, there was numerous spacequakes all over the world for half a year, with most of them hitting Japan. There were no more for 25 years, but five years ago, they started hitting mostly around Tenguu City, and they're been on the rise ever since.
Like right now.
Standing in the middle of the destruction was what looked like a lightly tan skinned young teenage boy that stood 5'6 having spiky blonde hair with ocean blue eyes and three whisker marks on his cheeks and a strong lean yet muscular build wearing a yellow sleeveless shirt that had orange pauldron with electrical conductors surges sticking out the back of them, a silver lightning bolt emblem on the chest and a black scarf around his neck, only the ends of the scarf looked like plugs, black pants with extra pockets, armored red combat gloves, and armored red combat boots.
The boy looked around the area in confusion and wonderment.
"Whoa! Where am I?" The boy asked.
"My guess Naruto, we're finally out that void and into an advance human world." A gruff voice said in his head.
"True. It's definitely not our world, that's for sure Kurama. Does that mean we somehow entered a all-new dimension?"
"I wouldn't doubt it. Considering that collision we had with that granny rabbit, we must've punched a hole in space and time and we got sucked in." Kurama theorized.
"Good thing while we were being sucked in I saw Kaguya get destroyed by the force of the power. So I know that the Elemental Nations are safe." Naruto said.
"Too bad you don't have the Rinnegan. Then you could've possibly made your way back home." Kurama said.
"As long as my home is safe I'm content with this. And anyway I think it's for the best, I wouldn't really trust myself for having that kind of power and getting a stupid god complex. I shudder to think about me having one." Naruto said shivering at the thought.
"Hehe, true. Let's leave the god complexes to those rotten Uchihas." Kurama smirked.
"True." Naruto chuckled. It was then he got a good look at what he was wearing. "This is certainly some unique clothes I'm wearing."
"I think it looks good on you." Kurama complimented.
"Thanks." Naruto said.
Feeling something in the area Naruto turned his head to see someone on the ground a few ways from him.
It was a 16 year old teenage girl that stood 5'3 having long flowing blue hair reaching down to her back that had a small flower pendant tied in one of her bangs with amber brown eyes and a slender body with D-cup breasts wearing a school uniform form consisting of a black blazer with a red emblem and an R over a white button-up shirt and a red ribbon under the collar, a blue miniskirt, thigh-high black socks, and brown shoes.
And she was staring right at him in shock and amazement.
"Um... hi." Naruto said awkwardly waving his hand.
"D-D-Did you come out of the s-spacequake?" The girl stuttered.
"Spacequake?" Naruto asked.
Suddenly his danger senses went off making Naruto ran towards the girl grabbing her and leaped out the way as energy beams fired at where they were standing at.
"Wha!" The girl exclaimed.
"The hell?" Naruto frowned looking for who attacked them.
He then saw several girls flying in the air wearing what looked like some black combat wiring suits each holding high-tech weapons.
"Why are you attacking us?!" Naruto demanded.
"We weren't aiming for the girl. We were aiming for you." One of the girls said.
"Why me?" Naruto questioned.
"You're a spirit. A being that's not fit to be in this world." Another girl said.
"Who the hell are you to decide who should be in this world?!" Naruto growled.
The girls didn't answer before they flew forward and started attacking him.
"Tch." Naruto began moving and dodging all their attacks while still holding the girl in his arms, when he got his baring's Naruto leaped into the air and landed on top of a building. "Fine you want a piece of me? Then come on!"
Setting the girl down Naruto moved his right hand towards the lightning bolt emblem as it shinned before pulling a sword out from it.
It was a sentimental long sword with a double-edged silvery blade and a lighter edge. His guard was a gold circle with two small gold protuberances or 'wings' on the sides of a pulled back gold spiked cross-guard with a red semi-circle at the curved bottom as a gold ornate ornamentation is under red semi-circle part of the cross-guard while the grip itself is white and thin, with a golden decorated top and a pointy sword pommel. (Picture Caliburn from Sonic and the Black Knight)
"Let's dance!" Naruto said as the plugs of his scarf started to emit electricity before forming electrical dragon wings under them, that allowed Naruto flight as he flew up in the air towards the black wearing girls.
Naruto collided swords with one girl before grabbing a sword from another that tried to strike him so he gathered electricity in his right leg before kicking the two girls away in a arc of shocking energy. Two more girls came up and started firing from guns making Naruto flap his wings and fly through the air dodging the blasts. He suddenly stopped as more blasts came to him, but Naruto was ready as he spinned his sword around blocking all the shots.
When the shots ended Naruto focused lightning energy into his sword making the blade glow yellow with electricity coming off it and charged at the girls striking them on the chest giving them a little shock that made them scream and fall down. The last three girls flew in engaging Naruto in a series of slashes from their sword trying to hit, but Naruto saw all their moves coming. Gathering electrical energy into his left hand Naruto thrusted it in front of the girls emitting electrical sound waves that paralyzed the girls making them unable to move and Naruto put into more electricity into the waves pushing the girls to the ground.
"There. That wasn't too tough." Naruto grinned.
"Naruto, look out on your right!" Kurama exclaimed.
Heeding his partners advice Naruto flew backwards just as a slash came to where he was at. Looking to see who attacked him, Naruto saw it was another girl in the black suit with a pair of sensors in her hair wielding a hi-tech energy sword.
However she seemed more attractive than the others.
It was a 16 year old teenage girl that stood 4'9 having short silvery-white hair arranged in a bob cut that had three hair-clips in the left part of her hair with blue eyes and a slender body with medium C-cup breasts.
"Not bad." Naruto whistled.
"No time for gawking! She's coming!" Kurama said.
"Oh, right!"
Naruto nodded pulling his sword up and meet the silvery-white haired girl in a slash, each trying to overpower the other with their swords. They then pulled back before flying all over the area continuing to meet each other in a deadlock. When they went for another one Naruto leaped upwards making the girl miss her attack and Naruto swift-kicked her across the head making her spiral in the air.
The girl righted herself up and growled before firing a energy beam from her sword at Naruto who dodged to the left.
"EEEKKK!"
Naruto turned his head to see the blue haired girl from before screaming as the beam headed towards her. Realizing this, Naruto vanished in a lighting arc and reappeared in front of the girl and slashed at the beam, splitting it in two.
"Are you alright?" Naruto asked looking to the girl.
"I'm fine. Thank you." The girl thanked.
"No prob." Naruto said before looking at the silvery-white haired girl to see her charging at him. "Time to finish this then get out of here." Making his sword disappear Naruto surged his body with electricity like he was powering up, before crossing his arms over his chest as the lightning bolt emblem shinned. He pulled his arms away from his chest as the electricity around his body went to the lightning bolt emblem forming a orb of the power in front of it and then fires a massive beam of yellow electricity from the chest at his opponent.
The girl had no time to act as the beam hit her knocking her away from Naruto and the blue haired girl. Naruto relaxed his body as the electrical power faded from him.
"Whoooa." The blue haired girl said in awe.
"I forgot, with all that's happened we didn't introduced ourselves." Naruto said turning to the girl and stuck out his right hand. "Hi there, I'm Naruto Uzumaki."
The blue haired girl blinked before realizing his was right. Shaking her head she grabbed Naruto hand and shook it. "Nice to meet you, I'm Shiori Itsuka."
Naruto nodded as he and Shiori pulled their hands back.
"We should probably get out of here while we can." Naruto said.
"I hear that." Shiori agreed.
However before they could a rainbow beam hit them over their heads before they vanished into thin air.
Unknown Place
Naruto and Shiroi blinked their eyes recovering their sight to see they were inside of some command center with people sitting a desk with computers as a large monitor was up showing the area they were just in.
"Huh?" Shiori asked confused.
"What the?" Naruto muttered just as confused.
"Welcome to the Fraxinus airship."
Naruto and Shiori looked ahead to what looked like the captain's seat and in it was a pale skinned 14 year old girl that stood at 4'7 having very long light coral-colored red hair styled in pigtails tied in black ribbons and is separated by each side in a twintail style with red eyes and a petite body with low C-cup breasts wearing a white uniform shirt with a red coat over it like a cap, a black tie with red sidelines, a red skirt with white cloth-like sticking out, and a pair of long, black boots that reach up to half her thigh with a lollipop in her mouth.
"Who the-" Naruto said before he was interrupted.
"Kotori?!" Shirori exclaimed making Naruto turn to her.
"You know her?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah. She's Kotori Itsuka, she's my little sister." Shiori nodded. She noticed the confuse expression on Naruto's face and knew what he was thinking. "Adopted little sister."
"Ah." Naruto said in understanding.
"What's going on here, Kotori?" Shiori said.
"All will be explained soon. But first, Reinne!" Kotori said snapping her fingers.
A person walked in and it was a pale skinned woman that looked to be in her 20s having long, unkempt, pale blue hair which is tied into a right-side ponytail with blue eyes which seems to be sleepy as there were dark circles beneath them with a pair of circular frame glasses over them and a curvaceous body with E-cup breasts wearing a tan blazer over a white uniform shirt that had a black tie around the neck with a small blue teddy bear that fits in her right breast pocket, a black skirt, tan pantyhose, and black shoes.
"This is Reine Murasame, my head analyst and medic of Fraxinus. She'll be looking over you for injuries, Shiori-nee, while I talk with the spirit beside you." Kotori said.
Shiori frowned at what was going on before a hand was placed on her shoulder making her turn her head to look at Naruto.
"Naruto?" She said.
"Don't worry, Shiori. Everything will be fine, and I'll be right here when you get back." Naruto said smiling.
That made Shiori smiled back at him and nodded in understanding.
"If you would follow me please, we can begin to look to see if you were injured." Reine said.
"Right." Shiori said.
With that the two walked out the room with Kotori watching them leave before looking at Naruto.
"Now for you. Naruto, was it? I have to say you are one unique spirit." Kotori said.
"Why you say that?" Naruto said confused.
"Because it's a known fact that all spirits are female. There's never been a male spirit before." Kotori explained.
"Huh, I guess that means I'm one of a kind." Naruto muttered, shocked that only spirits were females. Which beg the question.
Why was he different?
"Anyway, like Shiori-nee said, my name's Kotori Itsuka. And I'm the commander of Ratatoskr, a organization created for the purpose of saving spirits, who cause spacequakes, through peaceful means without killing them. Like the girls in black that attacked you earlier." Kotori said.
"I see." Naruto mussed.
Kotori then started explaining what spacequakes were to Naruto since he didn't know what they were. Apparently spirits cause them without intention when they come to Earth leaving a trail of destruction, which in turn made people wary of the quakes cause of the destruction and death but the latter was only rarely.
"That's a lot to take in." Naruto said crossing his arms. "Seems like were caught into something again, Kurama." He thought to his furry companion.
"I can only imagine the trouble that's going to follow." Kurama grumbled.
"All too true." Naruto sighed before looking at Kotori. "So what happens now?"
"Now is simple." Kotori smirked taking out her lollipop. "You go out on a date with my sister, Shiori."
Everything stopped for a minute as Naruto and Kurama heard that.
"Eh?/Eh?" Naruto and Kurama blinked.
"Yep! You go out with sister and make her your girlfriend." Kotori beamed.
Naruto was gobsmacked on what he just heard.
"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! OH THIS IS RICH! IN A NEW WORLD AND YOUR GIVEN A GIRLFRIEND?! OH MY RIBS! I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING! I THINK I NEED TO PEE! WHOAHAHAHAHA!" Kurama laughed uncontrollably falling on the ground holding his sides and kicking his legs up.
Naruto could only think one thing.
What did he get himself into?
