Chapter 1 The Call
January 23, 2026 at 12:19 AM
Day 28, the month of the Goat, the year of the Horse of the 7th cycle of the era of Hidden Villages.
Lightning Country, Turtle Island, Bijuu Secret Temple
“Yes! Yes! Hurray! I can't believe it, Kira Bee! I could do it! Do you see? I could do it! Yoo-hoo! See how I can!” I was juggling with my new nine limbs, or rather the "handhands."
And at first I almost broke my whole head, not knowing how to adapt them to obey! I'm incredibly cool! And now, the main thing, after attracting the attention of Kira Bee, is not to screw up. So. A large stone cube. The cube is smaller. A truncated pyramid. A pair of Captain Yamato's pieces of wood and a headless statue, which Bijuu stole from the central hall of the temple. Carefully…
Oh pa!
And now we will put all these objects on top of each other...
“Well done, Naruto Uzumaki, you've mastered the Golden Veil of bijuu coolly,” The jinchuuriki of the eight-tailed one praised me, and my sensei, as always, read enko a rap.
Yes! I did it! Now that the connection mode with the tailed one is mastered at the proper level, I don't crumble stones just by touching my chakra! It's so cool!
“Damn boy, you're using my power!” Kyubi growled hollowly in his inner world, pinned down by the torii.
I immediately find myself next to him, or rather, in this mode, part of my consciousness is always there, taking the chakra from the demon for the technique. I was angrily pierced with a hateful red-eyed gaze. However, it hasn't scared me for a long time. Probably since I met him at the age of twelve, when I came here during a time of mortal danger, and demanded strength so that we could survive. And I've seen a lot of hate-filled looks in my life since I was a kid.
My demon, Kyubi no Yoko, is a nine-tailed fox, sealed into me at birth by my parents, who passed away after that. So dear and as lonely as I am. I believe that one day I will be able to make friends with him, no matter how naive it may sound. Moreover, the example of Kira Bee is before my eyes: he is constantly with Gyuki-san, the eight-tailed octopus demon. They are friends and talk, and he is the only jinchuuriki who was able to cooperate with his demon, bijuu.
My furry one got very thin, because in order to master the fusion, I had to divide it into a "good" and a "bad" chakra. And since the fox demon, in fact, consists of a chakra, now, after the separation, it looks so shabby and as if it had been starving for a month. Yes, and I had to uncork him, pulling him out of a relatively spacious cage for that battle for supremacy.… Now his neck, back, paws and tails are pressed by thorns.
It's a pity, but what can you do if it is completely inadequate in its divided form because of the "bad" chakra bubbling in it. Pure hatred remained in him. And we have a war coming up, and because of that, I have to study in emergency mode. And to mock the creature that had been with me for all sixteen years of my life like that. But I am the "boy from the prophecy", I was predicted to change the world, so no one cares how and by what means I will change this world. It's either friendship with a demon, or saving the world.…
I would have chosen everything together, but…
“I'm sorry," I touched his black, wet nose. “Not angry. You must admit, the Golden Cover mode is incredibly cool. Even Kira Bee can't do that. He can only use the first and second levels of biju transformations, but I got something else altogether. I remain myself and glow like the sun, but how much power overwhelms me, and I can make additional handhands from the chakra. You have a beautiful chakra, Kyubi. It's not so bad to be your jinchuuriki, despite all the disadvantages.”
He just growled, and then he grinned angrily.
“What the?!”
A strange-looking huge, no, gigantic Fuin seal suddenly appeared in the black field of the inner world, glowing with red light. It was so big that I could sit on it, and the whole fox down to the tips of his nine tails.
“Naruto!” in the outside world, the same crap, but many times less, and only around me.
Captain Yamato and Kira Bee are running towards me, and then the darkness and the feeling of flying. I was ready to see the face of the Toad Sage or Teacher Fukasaku, or his wife Shima-san.: they always called me to Mount Myeboku at the wrong time for another prophecy, training, tasting a new dish made from beetle larvae — I need to emphasize.
But I was definitely not in the world of toads, with whom I signed a draft contract four years ago. The psychedelic colors of Myoboku with its mushrooms, giant burdocks, waterfalls made of shells and the pink-green sky could be recognized even when you were on the push in the house of the toad hermit. There were bright colors everywhere. And the place where I appeared feels more like the underground hideout of the late evil one, Orochimaru.
The strange fuin seal that appeared around me in my world continued to surround me, slightly highlighting the blackness of the stone walls. I know something about fuinjutsu, but it's going to break himself leg! There is not a single clear symbol or hieroglyph, and the geometry, similar to a nine-pointed star, is baffling. After this strange summoning, my concentration was disrupted, so the Golden Veil technique was interrupted, but it's for the best.
Fuck! Did the Akatsuki who started the war find some way to kidnap me? It's very, very bad. The bright glow of the seal began to decrease, and I noticed that there were also multicolored candles around, just at the corners of the rays of this "star" inscribed in a circle.
A figure began to approach me from the darkness. I tensed up. Is my abductor alone?What the fuck? Are the Akatsuki laughing at me?
“Kabuto? Idiot, don't you value your life?! I warned you that I would meet you again and I would definitely kill you!”
"And?" Kabuto rounded his mouth, staring at me from behind his round glasses. However, no. I got it wrong. This guy who came closer to the light is definitely not Yakushi Kabuto, even though he looks like Orochimaru's assistant.
“Oh... uh, I see that I got confused”, I smiled broadly at the kidnapper, relaxing his guard. “You just look like someone I know. The same round glasses, height and build. However, his hair is lighter and longer than yours.…”
The bespectacled man looked strange, he was standing with his head slightly bowed, frowning, as if he was listening attentively to the sound of my words.
“What a strange demonic language. Similar to our Chinese or Japanese…” finally, he gave out, it seems, saying this phrase in a foreign language, and, strangely, I did not sign the contract, but understood it.
“What? What kind of demonic language?” I was surprised to realize that I could speak this language too.
Unlike the tongue of toads, this does not hurt the cheeks, only it is somewhat unusual for the throat to pronounce certain sounds. Fukasaku-san told me that the conscription contract not only gives the right to summon warriors from their world, but also teaches the conscripted the language of people. When I was studying the art of the hermit on Mount Myoboku, I spoke to everyone in toad, as I was called there myself. It seems to be the same situation here. But I didn't sign any contract.…
“The contract is signed with me,” Kyubi chuckled from his inner world. “And you are an integral part of this agreement.”
I was lost, not knowing what to say to such a setup from my furry henchman.
“Do you speak English?” The guy with round glasses distracted me from coming up with a decent answer to this red-haired asshole.
“It looks like it," I didn't deny it. “Can you enlighten me how I got here? And if you did it, then bring me back, we actually have a war coming up and I have to save the world.”
“You too?!” The guy's eyes widened. “So you're not a demon? I actually summoned a demon.…”
“What do you mean, "too"? And why would you want a demon? You can't handle him stupidly”, I asked, appreciating his skinny figure, which didn't have a drop of chakra. And what does he hope for? To help the mythical Rikudo-sennin?
“I... I... I'm sorry..." the bespectacled man sniffled. “I have… My godfather died because of me.… He fell into the Arch of Death, and I thought… I wanted to save him. I wanted to get my only loved one out. And only a demon can do that. I found a grimoire in the Black library. And I decided to try it.… And then you showed up.”
"Yeah,” was all I could say.
I guess I understood this guy too well if there was a way to save Jiraiya.… If my godfather, teacher, and almost grandfather hadn't been definitely killed at Fukasaku-san, but had disappeared or fallen into another dimension, I probably would have also done everything possible and impossible to get him out. But I didn't like the name "Arch of Death" at all, but I don't know how to get back yet. And if Kuby said that he had signed a contract, then it means that I have to help this bespectacled man.…
“Okay, don't be sad, man," I sighed. "Perhaps I can help you, since you've summoned me."
“Really?” He looked at me in surprise. “You're a Muggle.… I don't feel any magic in you…”
“We'll figure it out as we go along," I shrugged. I still didn't understand some of his words. “I am Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto, the Shinobi of Konoha— a village hidden in the Foliage, from the Land of Fire," I introduced myself.
“And I am... Harry Potter, a wizard from the city of London, the country of England. He graduated from the fifth year of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and transferred to the sixth,” He held out his hand to shake mine.
Well, I got bored with adventures while I was learning to merge with Kuby on TurtleIsland, I hope this mission will be interesting.…
