Chapter III: Freedom

"Quite amazing pieces of architecture, isn't it?"

Ocean blue eyes looked up to pale green, shielding his eyes from the bright yellow rays of the sun. The man beside him had auburn red hair and tanuki like markings on his eyes. A kanji for love colored in red was etched on the left side of his forehead. He wore a crimson robe whose sleeves extended up to his hands. A gray holster vest hugged the upper portion of his robe and had two gray buckle belts that locked onto a large a gourd that he carried on his back. It was partnered with a simple black trousers and a pair of black open toed sandals. The man was of above average height, standing around five feet and nine inches.

Naruto stared at the man for the minute before looking away and answering, "...yeah."

Now that he had managed to have a good look at the structures below the cliff, he noticed that they all had that godly feel to them. They were all very large and could still be easily seen from his distance, which was fairly far. There were seven of them overall, each of them having unique features that makes them standout even to modern society's advancements. It was quite amazing to see a number of different terrains in one location .The accuracy and precision of the structures were outstanding and the materials that made them were of very high quality. Truly the architects behind this majestic work of arts were true geniuses.

"So...have you decided?" The auburn haired man looked at Naruto. Said eleven year-old glanced at the much older man beside him and had a look of contemplation displayed on his face. He had originally planned on going home immediately after he finished his job but due to certain circumstances he ended up finding this place instead. The discoveries he had on this accidental find were mind blowing, both literally and metaphorically. On one hand he won't get to see Erza for another month or two and on the other, he would get much much stronger and attain the potential power to protect his sister and figure out who killed their parents.

Nodding his head in decision, Naruto gave his answer. "I'll do it, Gaara-san. I'll prove my worth to my ancestor."

A ghost of a smile appeared briefly in the now named Gaara's face, "Good decision," the gourd carrying man gazed on to the shorter boy's eyes before steering his gaze towards the seven structures. "Now what do you want to go through first?".

Naruto lifted his hands and pointed his index finger towards the northeast, overlooking the large pyramid structure. His finger pointed towards a marvelous building that had a good number of vaulted layers and was surrounded by a large body of water that only enhanced it's appearance more. Each layer, which were actually a terrace, had a beautiful stretch of flowers, plants and trees that enveloped the building. The greenery itself was surrounded by a majestically structured water system that served as a watering system for the plants. The building was quite a sight to see itself. Intricate designs were carved on it's walls and the golden and silver-ish metallic designs that hanged on it's pillars were a magnificent sight to see.

Gaara frowned for a second before nodding. The boy was really determined in his decision even though he had warned him of the dangers of trials that he would encounter in the different structures. The boy was deserving to be called that man's heir.

"I believe that you are aware of the dangers of facing the seven wonders?" Naruto nodded fiercely in response, his eyes blazing with determination. "Then follow that path." Gaara said while pointing to a rocky pathway that would soon converge with the desert terrain near the large pyramid. The path then would turn to slightly structured stone paths which would lead to a large gate that blocked the way to the vaulted structure.

Naruto nodded his head and looked as the spiritual embodiment of Gaara started to fade. But before his head faded with the rest of his body, the man still had one last thing to say.

"The gates of Babylon await you."

...

Well that's done. That was a very short snippet on how Naruto obtained the Aesir. I was going to include the next few paragraphs but it wasn't all that nearly done so I had to remove it from this preview. Anyways I do not know when I will update the chapter fully but I will take down this chapter and add the new one once I finish the complete chapter.

Thanks for Reading,
