"Well... I'm ready."
Naruto took four steps backward and put on his most powerful smile to prevent tears from escaping his eyes.
A magic circle created by Yasaka hovered around Naruto's feet. Naruto gave them all one last glance and for some reason, it lingered on Yasaka. He was going to miss those golden orbs. A white light engulfed his form slowly and when the light surrounding him intensified, Yasaka rushed forward and placed a sheet of paper in his pocket.
"Come back to me in one piece," she whispered into his ear and kissed him on his cheek. Dangerously close to his lips.
Naruto's face resembled the color of his mother's hair.
"Another win for me," she said with an eye smile.
Fwip.
Naruto Uzumaki disappeared from Kyoto under the orange rays of the setting sun. A rainbow appeared in the sky for some reason, beautifying the sunset on the horizon.
Yasaka heard her daughter's muffled cry and sniffs. She pulled her daughter close and patted her head gently.
"Naruto-kun will come back to us one day... He promised, remember?"
Kunou didn't trust her voice so she nodded rapidly.
"Naruto..." Remembering the last night Naruto spent with her, the last conversation with Naruto, the last time he was in her room.
(Unknown Location. In the blue yonder.)
Naruto closed his eyes when the light became too much to bear for the safety of his beloved blue orbs. He experienced weightlessness all of a sudden and opened his eyes to a clear sky.
"Whoa, the sun looks so big!" Naruto exclaimed.
That was the first thing he noticed.
"Why is It so big...?"
His feet were upside down and he was fast approaching a bed of clouds. He flinched as he went through a group of clouds. A surreal experience for him as he's never touched or seen one so close before. That's when his brain interpreted the situation at hand.
"Oh, fuc—No way! Oh shit."
Naruto dived through the clouds as gravity drew him back to the ground at frightening speeds. Naruto fished the sheet Yasaka crumpled into his pocket. "Payback's a Vixen." He read the words written in red out loud. He gripped the paper till his knuckles hurt.
"Yasaka!" He screamed with majestic fury as his descending speed increased even further.
"Ok, calm down Naruto. I'm free-falling, I'm over the ocean and there are huge ass structures below in the distance... Maybe a city, That's pretty cool... Now, what would Kaka-sensei do?"
Naruto hung his head in shame when he couldn't think of a plan.
"Gah, I'm hopeless!"
Inside the darkness, a single eye snapped open all of a sudden.
A familiar sensation struck Naruto. Almost like Deja vu, Naruto saw a little kid falling deep into a cavern with stinging pain around his forehead and a sense of dread and death. The sound of his erratic heartbeat filled his ears.
Ba-dump.
Ba-dump.
Ba-dump.
Darkness filled his vision.
.

"Oi, Kozo!" A voice boomed suddenly.
That voice...
Naruto recognized the familiar sewer that was his mind. He turned around and, for the first time in months, he was gazing at a red, slitted eye.
"Ku-Ku-KURAMA!"
Naruto rushed forward, tears streaming out like a broken faucet. His arms stretched out wide as if they could fit the mountain-sized fox. Naruto leaped at the orange mass of chakra given form and sentience. His target: its black snout.
Swish.
An orange-furred tail sent him crashing into a wall.
"What the hell, Naruto? I was asleep for a while and I woke up to you free-falling from the Sky?! This isn't time for that! I thought you would've found a way back home, Baka!"
"Kurama!"
Naruto ran towards the beast crying. He shrugged off everything in favor of hugging his partner. Kurama let Naruto hug him this time around. From Naruto's behavior, Kurama noticed the boy's been through a lot and just let him cry to his heart's content.
He glanced at his brothers and his huge eyes Narrowed at the sleeping form of his siblings.
(Unknown Location)
"We deserve a death sentence for our failure, Cao Cao-sama."
The group of five kneeled in the presence of their boss. The leader of the Hero Faction.
A handsome young man with short black hair and blue eyes dressed in ancient Chinese attire stood up from the throne he sat on and went past the group.
"Stand up my brother, this is but a minor setback."
A long staff levitated towards him and he snatched it out of the air.
"Where are you going, Cao Cao?"
A two-meters tall man with a well-built body with shoulder-length gray hair asked.
"If you want something done right, Heracles, you have to do it yourself," Cao Cao said before he left.
(Unknown Location. In Naruto's mindscape)
"So that's what happened so far."
"Yep. You're proud of me right." Naruto beamed.
"Tch." Kurama rolled his eyes.
"Hey! I handled the situation very well on my own. You're proud aren't you?" Kurama remained silent. "You're just afraid to admit it," Naruto added.
"So, where are we?" Kurama asked."
"A spell that can take us back home is somewhere in there and I... No, WE are going to find it and free everyone from the effect of Mugen Tsukuyomi." Naruto's eyes were filled with determination.
"What's the name of this place?" Kurama question.
"Naruto rested on Kurama's soft fur on top of the beast's head.
"Well, this place is called... what was it again?"
Kurama sighed, feeling a massive headache coming. He might as well perform brain surgery on someone one day.
"What did Yasaka call it again... something to do with a garden?" Naruto pondered. "No, that's not it. It's something with a..." Naruto forgot the name but it'll come back to him eventually.
"You're hopeless, Naruto."
"Hey! I'll remember the darn name. Just gimme some space here!"
"Go die in a ditch, Naruto!"
"Whadya say, you overgrown fox!"
"Uzumaki Naruto... You never change."
"Don't distract me, Kurama, I'm brainstorming here."
Joy filled Naruto's entire being today. His friend, Kurama, was finally awake. The story of a shinobi and Bijū on a quest to find a way back home continues.
Both human and Tailed Beast were in for a wild ride.
