The Shinobi Gifted with Capabilities

Chapter 2

Location: The dark void

There was complete darkness in the void. There were no lights, no sounds, and not a single sign of any creatures living in it. But if you look closely, you might be able to see a silhouette walking through the endless void.

"Arghhhhhh! Hagoromo!" Naruto screamed in the darkness.

It's been 3 hours since he passed the portal and he was sure that there's still a long way ahead of him.

"Seriously, I thought portals were made for instant teleportation… not a long walk till I reach the destination!" whined Naruto.

"Remember, Naruto, that what you're doing is not just a normal teleportation using space and time jutsu. This one is completely different," Kurama replied to the young Naruto. "You're traveling onto another dimension here. You should be grateful of my father for creating such a stable portal for us to pass through. If it was a portal made of unstable release of energy, then I don't know what price you would have to pay for that. Your body wouldn't be able to sustain the sudden change and would probably change its form, unpredictably." Kurama continued sounding rather proud of his father.

"Geez... You're not helping at all," Naruto answered back.

"I agree with that kid... Kurama has always had a gigantic ego stuffed in his head!" Shukaku said in jest, making fun of him Kurama for being obviously too proud.

"Yeah, I know... Wait! Is that you, Shukaku?" Naruto questioned, quite surprised with realizing the presence of another one other than Kurama, in the void.

"Yeah, it's me. The one tails Ichbi, Lord of racoons!" Shukaku pronounced.

"Here I thought I would meet you in the other dimension?" Naruto was now confused.

"I have my own ideas, Naruto. I think what my father meant by meeting them in another dimension, was meeting us as a whole by the time you arrive there," Kurama predicted.

"Ah… I think I understand now... Meeting Shukaku means were about 7/8 far away from our destination right?" Naruto said, putting the puzzle pieces in his head that made him realized how everything was suddenly making a perfect sense.

"Hmmm... I don't like this idea, though..." cried Shukaku. "It means I have the least chakra of the 9 bijuus..."

"Heh! Suits you, stupid racoon!" Kurama ranted.

Naruto stopped them before the unnecessary banter between the bijuus continue.

"Guys, we're now in one body. Please cooperate for your own sake..." Naruto told them.

"Fine..." both replied.

"Now that I'm your jinchuriki, does it change anything?" Naruto asked. "Hopefully, he would get some useful power from Shukaku...something Kurama couldn't" the boy mumbled quietly to himself.

"Naruto, I can hear you!" scolded Kurama.

"Right... I forgot that we are sharing the same mind now..." Naruto reminded himself to close links if he wanted to fume about Kurama.

"Actually... yes, I would be giving you the same powers as Gaara. Controlling sand or making it as long as there's earth around," Shukaku said. "Also, with your new rinnegan, it might be possible to make an iron sand out of it..."

Shukaku doubted the second theory though.

"You mean, I could use the sunaton (sand release) and jiton (magnet release)?" beamed Naruto, feeling suddenly excited of the prospect of gaining new powers.

"Yeah... I guess so…" Shukaku said, still doubting about the jiton.

The three of them continued to talk like that for another three hours, most of which was spent by Kurama and Shukaku fighting about who is better, or stronger and so on...

"Please stop... I beg you two to stop just for a while... My head hurts so much," Naruto begged. "Why are you two always fighting"

"…probably because of their strong pride?" a female voice suddenly spoke.

"Matabi, its you." Kurama stated, clearly not surprised about the presence of the female voice with them.

"Yes, I'm the two-tailed cat Nibi, real name Matatabi," she said.

"It's great to meet you again, Matabi!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Yes, pleasure to meet you, Naruto!" she purred back.

"Well, does this mean we're about 3/4 away from our destination now?" asked Shukaku, still not believing the thought that Matabi has more chakra than him...

"I guess so…" Kurama replied.

"Sooooooo, Matabi?! Do I inherit yours, too?" Naruto asked hopefully.

"What? My whisker marks? My fur? If it's my power you're talking about, then you're right! You are now able to control the blue flames of me or you have an easy access to katon (fire style) high-leveled jutsu or not. Let's just say that you're a walking match of fire right now!" she explained.

"Yes! I have always wanted to use katon when I was younger!" Naruto beamed.

"The only fire jutsu I can use right now is..." Naruto activated the mangekyou rinnegan in reality. "Amaterasu!" he yelled, focusing his chakra to his eyes, thinking of burning the ground. He was concentrating on the task at hand but… nothing happened.

"What?! I can't use Amaterasu!? What's happening?" Naruto panicked. He really thought Amaterasu was an awesome technique to use.

Meanwhile, the other bijuus were dropping sweats on how stupid Naruto could be. Matabi decided to help the poor boy from confusion.

"Naruto, Amaterasu is a flame made out of darkness... You wouldn't be able to notice the flames when there's not a single light in this void..." Matabi explained to the clueless Naruto, shaking his head as he realized his own stupidity. "Right…" he said.

Another three hours had passed.

Naruto didn't have to worry about Shukaku and Kurama fighting each other now. Now that there's Matabi along with them, he didn't have to exert too much effort scolding the other two.

So for the next three hours, Naruto spent his time making clones to study his new powers, while he walked through the void. He made 3000 shadow clones easily and ordered them to be divided into three teams: one team in charge of studying his new eyes, the second was tasked to study Shukaku's, and the last team was focused on studying Matabi's.

The real Naruto was counting seconds waiting for the sanbi to arrive. Three… two… one…

"Hi, Isobu! It's been awhile right?" Naruto asked before Isobu could even think of what was happening. Brushing it off, Isobu kindly replied.

"Yes, it's been a while I guess..." he said as he tried to see Naruto's face, only to freak out when he saw the kid's face with a smile so wide it almost reaches his ears.

"Why the heck is he smiling like that," he asked his fellow bijuus.

"He wants to know the kind of power the he will inherit from you," Kurama said.

"Brash kid..." Isobu said thoughtlessly before heaving a sigh.

"I will give you powers to control the waters easily and access to suiton high-leveled jutsu or not. You will now be able to make tsunamis, if you train properly…" Isobu informed Naruto proudly. But then, Naruto looked dissatisfied face with the information.

"What...? Not enough? Hmmm…" thinking quickly, Isobu added more. "I will also give you the power to summon my shells and corals for defense if needed. No one would be able to escape you if you trap them in a giant shell dome that is indestructible!" finished Isobu. He looked down to see, expecting Naruto to be grinning with excitement, but it was the other way around. Naruto still seemed unhappy about what he had just told him. He almost lost it, until Naruto slowly changed his expression into a face-splitting grin and started laughing like a mad clown.

He then saw Naruto summoning another 2000 shadow clones, dividing them into two: one for the coral and the shells, while the other was for suiton. Isubo sighed in relief, while the other bijuus were clicking their tongue at him.

Another three hours later...

Isobu blacked out, taking all the humiliation with him.

Naruto was walking along the void, discussing a few things with the bijuus. He was mostly asking about their powers and combination moves, as well as sharing ideas such as the kind of dimensions that they would experience. Their thoughts went around the ideas of arriving at a place where you can gain powers if you eat a disgusting looking fruit, or a place where giant robots fly with guns and light savers, or a place where shinigamis exist, and so on.

While they were talking to each other, Naruto received the memories from a few of his clones who were studying the mangekyou sharingan powers. One was stomped by a giant made out of chakra with wings, while the other one had been tortured through tsukoyomi (moon reader) something about not being able to eat ramen for seven straight day and nights. He stiffened at that. And lastly, he found out that the last team he sent out was destroyed by a rip in space, kamui... A kamui. That was definitely a kamui (God's authorization ). Naruto was confused. Wasn't that a mangekyou jutsu that only Obito could use? How could he use it if all mangekyous special abilities are all different? He thought.

"Well, I can explain that," said a new voice in his head. It was Yonbi, the four-tailed monkey (more like a gorilla), real name Son Goku.

"Goku!" Naruto beamed, realizing who the owner of the voice was. Goku was one of the bijuus Naruto shared the same childish personality, which of course, others think isn't a good thing at all. They fist-bumped each other, remembering all the memories they had went through together.

"Anyway, is it true that you know the reason why I have the access to kamui?" Naruto then inquired the monkey lord.

"Yes! It's because you gained the chakra of Kaguya who happens to be the first mangekyou user. Now…while most people think that there are only 3 abilities to mangekyou and a special ability for the container, but that's not entirely true," Goku started explaining. "It's just that when one generation passed the power, it becomes weaker, leaving all the possible powers to be unlocked forever. Your friend Sasuke is the complete explanation of it. He is strong, of course, but he wasn't able to gain any of the special abilities till now. So, since you now have the first mangekyou, you have more than kamui as your special ability," Goku finished.

The other bijuus were just gawking at son's knowledge… but then they got disappointed when they noticed that Goku was only reading through the pages of a book written by their father.

Naruto was gawking as well. He was thinking about the kamui alone being a technique that enables him to destroy one whole army, but then are there other techniques that could surpass it?

"That's really some badass technique!" he said excitedly.

After a few minutes of thinking quietly of how awesome he was, Son decided to break the silence by telling him about the powers that Naruto can inherit from him.

"First, as you know, you would now be able to control and summon lava out of nowhere and could even make volcanoes in high practice, which is called yoton ( lava style)," Goku started on. "Also you would have an easier access to doton (earth release) high-leveled jutsu or not."

Naruto just nodded. He already expected the kind of power Son would pass on to him and it was cool and good to use, but he was still too shocked with the mangekyou that he just gave up reacting altogether.

Three hours later...

Naruto managed to get out of his shock by leaving another two thousand shadow clones to train in both for yoton and doton. He also sent a chakra message to the mangekyous to try and find out more of the abilities of the mangekyou, if there is any. He was now waiting for the arrival of Kokuo, the gobi , five-tailed horse.

Matabi was briefing Naruto about Kokuo's personality, because although he had seen Kokuo during the fourth ninja war, he didn't get a chance to have a talk to him unlike with the other bijuus.

"It wouldn't be bad to know how to get closer," Naruto thought.

"By combining water and fire-natured chakra to create Boil Release, Kokuō is also able to increase the temperature of chakra to its boiling point," Shukaku informed him. "This ability forms the basis of what is referred to as "steam-based ninjutsu" granting itself, or its jinchūriki, overwhelming physical strength. When in use, this ability causes the jinchūriki to emit copious amounts of steam from their body. That's the power of Kokuo."

"Interesting... Steam? Boil? I really don't understand the basics though..." Naruto whispered.

"Most people don't know what steam can do so you don't have to feel weird about that," Kokuo replied.

Out of nowhere, the steaming horse-lord came out from the back of his mind to his vision system.

"Kokuo? Nice to meet you!" Naruto said gleefully.

"Same here. It's a real pleasure to see you win the war, Naruto," Kokuo congratulated the kid. "I will tell you how to use my techniques by leaving your two thousand clones here. By the time you master it, you would know the true beauty of steam," he claimed.

Following the orders of the horse-lord, Naruto immediately made two thousand clones in the void and ordered them to listen to Kokuo's orders.

"Are there any more you want? Naruto asked kokuo

Thinking for awhile Kokuo answered. "Yes, it's something about your kurama-mode…"

"What!?" Kurama roared upon hearing Naruto's question. "You got some problems with me?"

"No... Not really a problem," Kokuo said, "…but in order to make my jutsus more effective, I need to make a new bijuu cloak for him..." Kokuo finished.

Kurama calmed a bit.

Another 3 hours later...

Kokuo finished his talk about a new bijuu cloak and all the other bijuus were left with their jaws hanging down. Naruto himself was just as shocked as the others on this new information. It was an interesting thought for him. He had always thought weird of him having a different form of Kurama, with which in the past, jinchurikis were transformed into a bijuu itself by mastering or gaining their trusts.

Kurama was fuming about this because he thought that a bijuu cloak would be his special trademark, something that would make him different from the other bijuus, but then, Kokuo just had to find out about his secret and spill it to everyone.

"It does makes sense, though…" Son spoke.

"It would definitely be easier for you to have access in this form... I wonder if I can make a cloak myself," Isobu wondered.

"The only way to find out is by trying right?" Naruto said, asking for permission to the bijuus and of course, they all nodded except for the giant fox that was still fuming and crying, hoping that it won't work at all.

Naruto made five clones in reality and formed a circle around each other.

"Okay, let's try this..." the original Naruto pulled the chakra of Kurama by turning it into the usual gold-orange colored kurama-mode. Next, the clone next to him pulled the chakra of Shukaku, willing sand to start covering the clone like an armor, then the marks of Tanuki had covered the entire body, and for last, the usual blue cerulean eyes turned yellowish and a four-point black star was formed in the middle of his pupil, matching the black circles in each point.

The original Naruto, the clones and the bijuus all looked shocked seeing this new information come to life.

"It worked!" screamed Shukaku in his usual crazy voice.

"Unbelievable..." muttered Matabi. "It's like compressing a giant into a small human body..."

As it continued, the other four clones pulled their respective chakra and each of them had transformed themselves into their bijuu-modes. He each scanned the clones. The Matabi-mode looked a lot like that of Kurama's except for it's color that is dark blue rather than gold, and has strong flames coming out of it.

Next, the Isobu-mode was dark green in color and has a fiery firewater dripping from all over his body. He looked to his left to see the son Goku-mode colored in crimson red with white shine just like the Isobu's, but instead of it dripping liquid, it was forming lava from where he was standing...

Nodding, he looked to his left to see the last clone, the kokuo-mode. From it, he could see white steam emerging that it was almost impossible to see through...

"It actually worked..." all the bijuus, except Kurama, were cheering, each of them grinning and boasting about their own awesomeness. It was then that another bijuu had entered.

"Hmm? What did i miss?" Saiken, the new bijuu, asked, freaking the rest for his sudden appearance.

"Oh, you wouldn't want to know what you just missed!" Shukaku replied cheekily.

3 hours after Saiken's arrival...

Naruto left a thousand clones to study Saikens power soap bubble in other words, the acid style. He also tried the Saiken-mode, which looks a lot like the son's but its color is grey instead of crimson, and that bubbles come out of his body."It wasn't cool..." Kurama had fainted after finally absorbing the facts about other bijuu modes.

Naruto, on the other hand, was already getting tired. Not in a physical way, since he can't feel any tiredness what with all the chakras and bijuus inside him. It was exhausting him mentally. He had been walking for about twenty one hours already and he was getting real bored of it.

Just as he was about to check on the training clones, another voice spoke on his mind.

It was Chomei, the seven-tailed bug. Naruto remembered her as that one who has a happy personality, much like Fuu's. That's probably the reason why Fuu remained sane what with all the strange things that she had gone through in her childhood.

"Nice to meet you again, Chomei!" Naruto fist-bumped the new arrival, the giant bug queen.

"Naruto, long time no see!" she said in her usual happy tone. "I will let you inherit the powers to fly using futon and give you access to thread release that will give you the ability make silk and strings in all kinds of ways. You can make cloths out of it or you can make a strong string that is able to tie powerful creatures and restricting their movements," she beamed.

"That's actually quite useful..." Naruto gratefully remarked.

He made another thousand clones to study the thread release and another five hundred to practice levitation. He figured he didn't need the futon training anymore since he had already mastered it in during his ninja career.

24hours after Naruto dashed into the portal…

Naruto was keeping himself from being bored by blowing bubbles now, as he continued walking through the dark void. It's something that any sane person would not be able to surpass without being crazy. He hopes that it would end when he meets Gyuki the eight-tailed ox now or later.

And first time in his life, luck was by his side.

"Hey! I'm back!" Gyuki swing his legs. No tails as a sign of greeting. He synched his vision to Naruto's only to see the boy already dashing towards the end of the void where light was glimmering.

"Wait! I didn't even have a chance to explain my powers!" Gyuki cried.

"I'll listen to that later!" Naruto yelled back. "For now, I want to breath the air of my new home!" Naruto jumped in the air heading straight through the portal, surprised at the bright shine that engulfed his body, blocking his line of sight.

A few seconds had passed before he was able to slowly open his eyes.

"Wow..." he awed at the sight in front of him. He is now looking at high buildings, an animal with four round legs made of steel, and a beautiful sky light. He was seeing this in a very high altitude, which made it look more beautiful that he and the bijuus with him couldn't for contain their excitement over this marvelous sight. At this moment, he realized that the place he was standing and looking on was moving in fast speed, but he wasn't too sure. He looked down to see people staring at him desperately . That's when he realized that the thing he was standing on was not a place at all, but a giant shark-faced monster?!

There might be many corrections soooo please review!
