Naruto exhaled and steeled himself mentally. Here goes nothing.
The moment his foot crossed the portal and made contact with surprisingly firm thin air, it lit up with a brilliant flame of golden chakra making him raise an eyebrow at the involuntary transformation.
The Ouroboros Dragon watched as his body crossed the portal. With each part lighting up in golden flames as they made contact with the dimension void until he was engulfed entirely by the golden light. He looked like a human-sized lantern amidst the colors of the Dimensional Gap.
Naruto stood—in all his bad-ass fox glory—in a pose worthy of a model as he took in the details of the Dimensional Gap.
Colors… He thought with a dry look, unaware of the hazards the Kurama cloak protected him from.
The last time he was here, he was too busy fighting for his life to take in the scenery… on both counts.
Ophis nodded her head in approval behind him when he stood in her house, fully intact and whole. She wasn't about to tell him the Dimensional Gap rips everything apart into pieces. If he was to help her, surviving the dimensional void was just the tip of the iceberg.
Naruto tried to sense the entire place with Sage Mode but it was so vast, his sage-enhanced sensory abilities couldn't cover it, even with Kurama's chakra boosting it. The void felt empty and silent, except for the supermassive source of energy standing behind him.
If Naruto Uzumaki hadn't fought a goddess all alone, he would have surely pissed his pants, sensing the energy of the little girl behind him. It was unlike anything he's ever sensed. It was like a massive snake was looming over him.
Ophis moved closer and tried to grab Naruto's billowing cloak, watching the tattered spots with red edges. It was intriguing, it was like he was wearing fire.
The blonde ninja felt his hair stand on edge and he turned around quickly. "Is this your home?"
Ophis withdrew her arm back to her side and nodded.
"So, uh, where's the intruder that evaded your home?" he inquired, looking around for said intruder.
"You survived. Now, it's time to call the intruder," she said, her tone lacking emotion.
Naruto's eyes widened uncontrollably when another signature, much more massive than hers entered his senses.
There were two of them? And it felt nostalgic but he couldn't wrap his head around it.
The new energy was moving so fast and before he knew it, tremors shook his entire form as if a meteor landed on a continent. He didn't know how but he felt winds and earthquakes as something enormous landed behind him.
Naruto didn't like this at all. He was between two massive energies. It was like standing between two Ten-Tails.
He heard the beating of wings before a hot breath washed past him. He looked at Ophis who was looking past him, her head angled to the highest degree possible, for her little frame, to look up.
The massive beast sniffed the blonde twice as he slowly turned around.
Naruto's cross-shaped pupils landed on a huge scaly snout of a dragon. A hill made out of bones protruded upward on top of the snout.
Massive, green-slitted eyes blinked twice before the dragon stood up to its full height, in all its glory, and tilted its head at the glowing chakra being that felt human. The Dragon of Dragons had never seen such powerful and refined Chakra… except for that one time.
Naruto's jaw dropped when he saw the dragon in its full glory and pointed a shaky finger at the dragon. "G-g-great H-hot Sauce Thug?!" he yelled, his voice reverberating through the dimensional void.
Great Red, Narrowed his eyes at the insolent creature. One of the mongrels that snake recruited to cast his magnificent self out, no doubt. This one would make a fine snack today.
The dragon unfurled its mighty wings in a threatening manner and growled at the blonde shinobi.
The chakra-being still stared on at the magnificent beast in a stupefied manner, hands still shaking.
"Did his presence alone petrify him?" Ophis thought in disappointment.
Great Red opened its maw wide, his entire mouth glowing red, fire bubbling deep within his throat, begging to be unleashed before—
"Cut the act, Great Sauce!" Naruto yelled, waving his fist at the great dragon.
'Great Sauce?' DxD thought. Who dares address him with such degrading titles?
There was only one person with enough balls to call him that. The dragon lowered his head and squinted his massive eyes at the blond.
"Wait…" he trailed off staring at the human below. "Chakra boy?!" Great Red bellowed with surprise all over his draconic face.
"Haha! You humongous bastard!" Naruto laughed like he just met an old friend.
Great Red threw his head back and laughed uncontrollably. "Bwaahahahaha!"
Ophis was a dragon, a powerful old dragon who rarely displayed emotion, nah, she didn't understand human emotions but today she was surprised. Very surprised. She understood what it means to be surprised.
"So you were the pest she was talking about? You red Bastard." Naruto chuckled, wiping tears from the corner of his eyes.
Well, Ophis never called him a pest but when did Naruto Uzumaki let a chance to diss creatures that can kill him slip?
"What did you say, you microscopic bastard?!" Great Red roared slamming a claw forward.
(Scene Change)
"I-i can't find Naruto." Gaia stuttered as the earth ball spinned furiously.
"Don't panic, maybe he's hiding somewhere or maybe you can find him... yet." John proposed.
The policeman was upset; The blonde stood him up. When he thought he finally had the perfect chance to convince the blonde.
"Sage Mode… I didn't take Sage Mode into consideration," Gaia whispered and began her search anew.
Martha was busy trying to pack her long, overflowing hair into a neat ponytail when she asked, "What's Sage Mode?"
"Sage Mode Is what he calls it. In layman's terms, Naruto can tap into the power of Nature and in this state, he becomes one with Nature and his presence is undetectable."
"So a hermit is among the growing weird list of what Naruto is. The guy can summon a gigantic fox for crying out loud! Are you sure your brother ain't a god?"
