AN: What's up world! Here is my first attempt at a Fanfiction. It's actually quite a nervous feeling that you get when you finally do it.

Anywho, Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Sekirei

"Let me be the first one to say that I have no idea what's going on."

Whatever type of person they were expecting, this certainly wasn't it. They had long ago reluctantly accepted the adjustment procedures that they went through to make sure that they could assimilate into human society. Today started out as just another grueling day when Minaka, the head of MBI, came in and cancelled all adjustments. He excitedly stated that a recent development as happened and to come out near the shore of the island to meet someone. When they had finally got there all that awaited them was a blond man. Minaka rushed to the man, conversed for a bit, and rushed off while enthusiastically waving back at the group.

Miya, a soft-lavender haired girl, narrowed her dark eyes in harsh scrutiny. She didn't trust this man. To be fair she did not particularly trust any of these humans. She watched as they subjugated her and the other growing Sekirei to years of restless tests, experiments, and adjustments. Truly, she came to have a certain disdain for that word, the very process itself telling them that they were flawed and needed to be fixed, that they needed to bend to the rules of this world. With every passing day she gained a new level of distaste for this world and its inhabitants.

So now that she is presented to another one of these humans, as if he were something spectacular that deserved special attention, she was more than willing to pass him off as another ultimately inconsequential man. His own admittance of obliviousness only furthered that thought. She would give him the special attention that Minaka felt he deserved if things went south and she had to fight for her little bird's survival. She mentally noted to make sure she'd kill him first just to spite them. She would make it public. She would make it quick.

"Apparently, I am supposed to train you guys. But to be honest, the only other times I ever helped anyone before was by giving them little tips here and there. I never actually trained anyone full time."

Miya's displeasure grew even more. The hubris of these humans almost reached an insulting degree now. She took a step forward and angled herself between the man and the little birds in her care.

"You're supposed to train us? Throughout our whole experience here we have been told that we are too strong for humanity and had to be scaled down in power just to live amongst them. Now they want us to be trained by one of them? Not to sound overly rude, but you could understand why I am inclined to refuse." Her words may have had some sense of civility in them, but her stance and gaze held a different tone. One she was sure the man could understand perfectly.

"Hey now," he placated, putting both hands up in a surrender. "Trust me when I say I don't want to be here either." He put his hands down and turned to his side to look at the ocean surrounding the island. He took some time to admire the way the evening colors reflected off the water.

There was something in that action that gave her pause. Her close proximity allowed her to see his downhearted expression. She could see the fatigue in his face, and how his downcast eyes seemed to be watching a scene unfold that only he was permitted to view. He turned right back around with a joyful and carefree look placed back on for all the world to see. The entire series of events took only around fifteen seconds, but it told her all she needed to know about this man.

The way he earnestly greeted them, the way he naturally turned away to hide his true emotions, and the way he easily placed a smile back on his face when he faced them again all told of a man that carried a burden. He must have been used to leading others and that caused him to hide any emotion that would hurt the group morale. The way his eyes danced with despair when he tried to turn away from them, the pain in his eyes honestly surprised her. Taking in everything else that she was able to gather about him in that short time she could guess that he had a hard life, had been a part of something life changing, and just when he thought he was able to find happiness it was all ripped away from him.

She could think of no other way a man could give an expression like that. She may not know all the details, but yes, she knew everything she needed to about this man. Those eyes of his unnerved her, and she never wanted to see them again. They just looked so… so…

Lonely.

Maybe he deserved a chance to prove himself.

"Alright!" He said as he turned back and sat down on the sand, drawing her out of her thoughts. "Let's start with the basics. Since I will be spending the majority of my time here on this island with you guys, I should probably get your names. I'm Uzumaki Naruto! Now sit down, relax, and introduce yourselves."

They were silent for a moment, most of the girls still unsure of what to think of the man, but they followed after Miya wordlessly acceded and came close to him and sat down, never breaking eye contact along the way. She sat at the far right with a silver haired girl taking up the spot next to her. A redhead came next, followed by the only male in the group and a purple haired beauty.

"I'm Miya, Sekirei 01."

"I'm Karasuba, Sekirei 04." The silver haired girl stated. Naruto gave her a nod. She looked him up and down and gave an unimpressed scoff.

"Um, hey, I'm Matsu, Sekirei number 02." Her timid voice caused him to soften his gaze.

"Mutsu, 05." Mutsu barely got the words out of his mouth before he picked up a long pebble and started prodding the sand with it. It was clear that he would rather get the whole thing over with so he could take advantage of the free day they have been given.

"Kazehana, Sekirei 03." She blew a bit of her hair off her face before sighing.

Miya was interested with how he was going to reach out to all of these personalities.

"I was kind of hoping you would tell me more about yourselves without me asking you. That was a little too much to hope for I see. I guess I could understand since I didn't either, but man, your replies are dry as dry can be."

He fell forward to lie on his stomach, a playful grin now taking residence on his face as he held his head in his hands.

"All I want for you now is for you to tell me what you know about yourselves, like your strengths and preferred weapons, all that good stuff. Let's start with you, the guy with the personality of a dead fish."

Mustu narrowed his eyes at that remark. He almost felt offended. "We have not been allowed to do any real physical activity until recently. We had to be adjusted properly so we don't destroy everything. We've just had enough time to know the basics." Naruto nodded at that, and just continued to stare at the boy.

"The basics being what exactly? Do try to be specific. Dead Fish."

"What's the point in giving my name if you aren't going to use it?" Mutsu asked in mild annoyance.

"What's the point in acting like you're just floating around in life like a dead fish? Also, what does any of that have to do with the basics of what you know about yourselves?"

The other Sekirei had various levels of amusement showing after that back and forth. They were starting to like him already. He was different from all the scientist that litter the place. He had a bit of a spark in him. Almost made them want to hang around him more.

"I am a battle type Sekirei. I use earth attacks and I prefer to fight with a sword like Karasuba and Miya."

"Thanks! Now you wannabe gangster girl." He said looking straight at Karasuba. Her tired eyes glared at him.

"hn," Karasuba gave a hum of disapproval at being picked next. "I too am a battle type of Sekirei. I like to fight, and have all that go against me whimper at my feet.

That got a decent laugh out of Naruto. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You are one of those types, I didn't mean to laugh. I swear it's not you, it's me. I just never saw how those types started out. After fighting what seemed like a whole organization of those types of people, I kind of grew curious if they were always like that, or if there was some school out there that teaches people to have some sort of complex. Now I know the answer."

He decided that he should cut her off before she could respond to that in any way.

"What's your story purple haired beauty?" He asked in a hurry.

"hmm?" Kazehana perked up.

"While you are beautiful, I actually meant the other one," and she immediately deflated.

"Please, refer to me by my name from now on. I would appreciate that. As for my basic details, I use a sword."

"That's it?"

"That's it."

"No likes or dislikes?"

"No."

"Lame, what about you Princess?"

"Are you talking to me now?" Asked Kazehana. She didn't mind the name, but the way he said it was a little bit too sarcastic for her liking.

"Yup, tell me about yourself."

"I am a Wind type Sekirei. I don't really use any weapons since I mostly rely on my wind abilities."

"Really?!" His excited energy took them all by surprise. It was true that he seemed to be relatively cheerful since they have seen him, but his whole posture was calm and relaxed. Now it seemed like he was trying to keep himself from bouncing around.

"Yea, I don't really use weapons."

He laughed at Kazehana and jumped up to his feet. "No silly, I was talking about your wind abilities!" He walked over to her and pulled her up with surprising ease; she felt weightless in his arms. It was a feeling that she was most welcome to. He ordered the others to stand up and follow as he dragged her closer to the water. They stopped right by the edge of the tide.

"Show me!" He said eagerly. A smile lit up her face, and a sudden mix of pride and anxiety pulsed through her. His joy was strange in how very contagious it was, and she was happy that it was her that cause the shift in his demeanor. It was not a grand gesture on his part, but the intensity of his emotions was powerful. Her heart sped at how he was looking at her like she was something special, as if her powers were something to be marveled at and not controlled or feared. It was completely different from how all the scientist treated and looked at her. She hoped that she could live up to whatever his expectations were. Seeing how thrilled he was, she didn't think that she could handle him looking at her with disappointment.

Gathering up as much energy as she could, she held her hand forward. A breeze picked up and was soon turned into a gust that swirled around the two of them. Then it all shot forward, a ball of wind energy tearing through the surface level of the ocean and headed out towards the horizon. All the water in its path shooting to the sides to make two water walls climb up to sky. The wake from the huge blast took a few moments to fill that gap and when it finally did, the two waves crashed into each other with a loud thunderous roar.

Naruto's jaw dropped. This woman may be the strongest wind user he knew, and that meant a lot with how much he got to see people like Temari in action. Mutsu had said that they were just getting a handle on their abilities right?

"If this is how incredible you are now, I can't even imagine how amazing you'll be in the future."

He didn't really mean to say it that loud, and to be truthful he didn't, but their superior senses allowed them to hear his quiet murmur. That comment combined with the way he was now hugging Kazehana and spinning her around made them a little envious. She wasn't the only one who could do great things. The other Sekirei quickly found that they wanted to also prove themselves to this blond man, the only one to ever look at one of them with true wonder, almost childishly so. While everyone else probed and prodded, adjusted, he showed them in the small amount of time he knew them that they wonderful.

"I was questioning my apparent need to train you guys, but the fact that you have an elemental affinity makes this all worth it. That was great Princess!" She tried. She really did, but she could not bring down the smirk that was now on her face. If it was possible, he looked even happier than before. The way he called her princess this time was much more caring than the last time. She felt like she had a one up on the others, bragging rights for who was best.

"I have an elemental affinity too remember? I told you that use earth based attacks." Mutsu stepped forward to show the enthusiastic man.

"Hey! Stop interrupting the moment! No one cares about your earth powers Dead Fish." A dark cloud hung over Mutsu as he sunk into the background.

Naruto may have had a little bit of a bias when it came to wind abilities.

He felt that they didn't need to know that.

"Your turn Matsu, tell me all about yourself." He said gently. The others noticed how she was the only one whose name he actually said.

"I am a brain type Sekirei. I am not really up for fighting, but I am really good with technology, and I can learn anything really quickly!" Naruto chuckled at her eagerness and walked up close to her.

"Is that so?"

"Um, yes?" He chuckled again.

"Not sure?"

"Um…um… I…" He continued to look amused at the poor girl, before he patted her on the head tenderly.

"I'm jealous. I wish I had an ability like that. I'm not the smartest person out there, and there have been many times where I wished I was smarter. I can tell that it's going to be great having you around Matsu!"

She blushed. She was obviously not used to that type of tenderness and attention. She was starting to get a bit hot actually. Good Lord, could she be reacting? Already? She just met the man, so she doubted that she was, but maybe, maybe he could be her chosen one. He could be the one that would always be there for her to live a life full of happiness. It wasn't a bad thought. She was becoming giddy at the idea of it.

"This was all short notice on my part, so that's all I really had planned to do today. I have some other stuff that I need to do, so let's meet up again in two days. I should be done by then. I was told that today was a day off for you guys. Go out and enjoy it."

With that he gave a friendly wave and walked back into the facility. Miya watched as he left. He had peaked her interest. He amused her mildly, enough that she decided to forgo on those murder plans she had for him, but he was only a mistake away from being added to her kill list.

He may be worth following. She got up and made her way in the same direction.

He needed to see Takami. He had too many questions and too few answers. Turning down a corridor Naruto counted the doors before entering the 14th room on the right. If he was not mistaken, this was Takami's office.

"And what can I do for you, Naruto?" He shut the door and looked at her. His reason for rushing was forgotten as he took the time to appreciate her silver hair and attractive features. There had to be something in the water here that was responsible for the unnaturally large number of stunning beauties that resided here. He made a mental note to store some to bring back to the elemental nations. Also, if Takami's knowing expression was anything to go by, he definitely had be staring at her for way to long.

"I'm flattered. I truly am, but I am seeing someone at the moment, so don't get any ideas alright? Now what is it you need?"

He scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. "Heh, no need to worry, I am a taken man as well. I didn't mean to stare. I just get mesmerized sometimes. I promise that I never make any moves that would sacrifice my self-respect."

She kept her look of poise, but she was actually quite taken aback by his statement. It was rare to run into a gentleman such as him. She wondered how he came to be one. From the way he acts and talks most of the time, he seemed more like the playful type, but the second she made a lighthearted comment about her own modesty, he spat out a gentleman's reply like a memorized line as a defensive reaction. She internally laughed at the thought that he must of had a female friend or two that probably beat manners into him.

"Anyway," he stated. "I have a few questions that I never got to ask before. First of which, what is a Sekirei, and why am I training them?" Takami nearly fell out of her chair at that one. He had spent the whole day with them and didn't even know what they were?

"I take it Minaka never explained then." At his nod she continued. "Simply put, the Sekirei are an advanced, physically superior alien race. Their ship landed many, many years ago, but we only found it a few years back. Inside we saw Miya, eight embryos, and ninety-nine fertilized eggs. We integrated their advanced technology with our own and created the corporate powerhouse that is MBI."

He looked like he took all that information in stride. His only notable action was when he raised his eyebrows when she stated that they were aliens. When they met she knew he was different, and had probably seen some extraordinary things, but what could he have possibly seen that made the mention of aliens not worthy of reaction?

"Anyway, we soon found that they physically were too powerful in almost every aspect. Their bodies and senses perfect in almost every way. Their fully matured muscles could very well crush a normal human, albeit unintentionally, like by giving a human a hug for example. So using our new combination of technologies we created a way to adjust their bodies, and make them able to live among us without being walking devastations incarnate."

Naruto hummed in understanding. "I figured they were something similar to warriors with how they described themselves, and after seeing some of their talents first hand I guess it makes sense. They kept saying Sekirei over and over again, and I didn't want to ask what that meant and look stupid, so I just acted like I knew what that was." He laughed pretty hard at that. "Is there anything else you could tell me?"

"From what we have gathered, it seems like the major goal for most Sekirei is to find the one that they are destined to be with. A person to love and cherish who will cherish them in return." She stopped when she noticed him get a little sad at those words. A small smile playing on his lips.

"A person to love who will love them in return huh? Sounds nice." He brought a hand to his sleeve and rolled some of the fabric between his fingers. "That's something we all want isn't it? I guess despite everything, they aren't that different from us at all. Wanting to be loved is such an innocent goal, but I think it's the innocence of it that makes it so wonderful. I hope they all find the one they are destined to be with."

He liked Takami. Although he has not been on this island long, he could tell that she was one of the most caring of the people here. It was like she was a mother and these Sekirei were her children. The tone she uses when she talks about them is much more affectionate than anyone else on this island. Something about her made him feel relaxed, he felt that he didn't have to hide so much of himself in front of her. He got the feeling that she would nonchalantly accept him for who he was, regardless of what that person was like or how behaved. It was an alluring quality of hers for sure, one he hoped she never lost. He would make anyone who tainted such a person suffer. Even with all the people he has met in his life, it was rare to find someone who was so accepting.

Takami herself wanted to know more about the man sitting in front of her. This wasn't the only time she has seen him get lost in his own little world. It was a habit that he had that was starting to so more and more. What could he be thinking about? Why did he always look so tired and lonely when he was with her? Her natural curiosity frequently went into overdrive when it came to Naruto. "Hey there, you alright Uzumaki?"

"Hm? Yea, just thinking. Would you mind being there the next time I meet the Sekirei, I would like to have you there while I talked to them."

"I could do that."

"Thanks."

"Anytime."

They sat in silence. It was a comfortable and tranquil silence. Unknown to them, a lavender haired girl had been listening and made her leave from the other side of the door, her opinion of the blond man changing more from her initial thoughts. She had pegged him as a just another MBI employee that wanted to change them, but now she knew that there was more to this man, and she hoped he might actually make their time here more pleasant.

Two days had past fairly quickly. Naruto watched as they all gathered around him and Takami, their eyes questioning. He was wearing his own clothes now: a long sleeved dark shirt zipped up to his neck, and grey pants that tucked into was looked like some type of combat books. On his left sleeve he wore a green braided string with miniature symbols inked across the material, and on his thigh he wore a black pouch. Over the whole outfit he wore a high-collared orange coat with black flames on the bottom, the sleeves were cut short as well. Finally, on his forehead, just under his bangs, was a long black cloth with a metal piece in the middle of it. It was what he was wearing when he first had met Takami. The Sekirei were wearing what Takami called the "Disciplinary Squad" uniform. It consisted of a tight black leather top, a mini skirt, and black stockings. He noted that they lined up in the same order as last time. Maybe they put Matsu in the middle to keep her surrounded and protected since she was the only one not battle capable. While watching them he idly hoped the decision he was about to make would not come back to haunt him.

"Why is Takami here?" He was beginning to think that the only look that Miya had was that impassive look she was currently sending his way. Did it take too much energy to form another expression. She didn't even look bored, just blank.

"She is here to answer everything that I can't." He had to hold his hand up to stop any more questions. "After sleeping on it and coming more into terms with my situation, I decided that it would be wrong of me to ask for you to tell me all about yourselves without being willing to talk about myself as well."

That got a few looks from the people gathered around the beach.

"I was never one for subtlety so I'll just say it. I am not from this dimension."

No one was sure what to do with that small bit of information. Most of the Sekirei looked at him in confusion, and Takami looked like she was having trouble processing what he said, probably trying to figure out how it was scientifically possible before she made any statements, but Miya knew. There was no doubt in her mind that he was telling the truth. His eyes held no deception, and he didn't show any other signs of lying. The biggest reason she believed him though was because of how well it put the pieces together. That was why he looked so astonishingly lonely. What is more lonesome than being the only person in the world that didn't belong?

"I knew you were different from us, but another dimension? Wha, where? how?" It seemed that Takami had forgone trying to solve the answer herself and what trying to figure out what question to ask first.

"Takami, could you tell us how you found Naruto?" A soft voice asked out. Takami wasn't the only one who wanted answers. Matsu hated when things confused her.

Taking a deep breath, Takami decided that she should take her time and start from the beginning. "Several weeks ago we went digging around the island to see if anything else from your ship got separated from the crash. The metal from the ship dated back hundreds of years, and even though you guys were inside and placed into something that simulated cryogenic stasis, we could not rule out the possibility that any attachments to the ship may have disconnected and been buried due to the passage of time. We eventually found something not too far from the ship." She sighed and took that moment to let the Sekirei take in what has been said so far. They were listening with rapt attention.

"Some digger found a large crystal, about the size of small house, and notified me and Minaka about the finding. We had to use lasers to slowly cut away at the crystal. It was giving off an energy very similar to your ship so we thought there maybe another Sekirei inside. After the first few cuts we started to see a figure appear. It took weeks, but about 4 days ago he completely cut him out. He was missing an arm, and he appeared to be dead. Then life just surged through him. He started breathing and his blood started pumping. We used your technology to give him a new arm by forcing a rapid acceleration of cells to grow from the stump. His muscle and bone composition was stronger and more dense than a regular human's but larger than those of the Sekirei. It showed that his whole body was able to take damage and he was physically very explosive. The discovery caused us to believe that he could possibly run at dizzying speeds as well. We came to the conclusion that he was probably a Sekirei solider. So when he woke up, we told him that we needed him to train you guys."

Naruto saw the looks on all their faces and stepped forward.

"I should start by saying that I am 100% human. I am a soldier though. I come from a village of soldiers. I'm my world those like me are taught from around eight years old how to fight and kill. I was from one of the biggest 5 countries in the world, and each country had its own village of warriors, each with their own set of values and skills. My village was unique in that it preached that power should be used to protect others. My team and I were told two things while growing up. 'We are those that endure,' and that 'those who break the rules are trash, but those who abandon their comrades are worse than trash.' These are messages that I would like for you Sekirei to believe in and accept as well."

The reactions he got from the girls and Mutsu were varied, but for some reason it was Miya's gaze that held his the most. Her impassive eyes taking him in as their ever judging nature showed him some measure of respect. He could tell that she was something like a leader to these Sekirei, so her approval of him meant a lot. Telling them about himself looked like the right move so far. He did not mind telling these guys about himself. Seeing as he was from a different dimension he doubted any information he gave them would be of any use for anything other than fulfilling their curiosity. They also did not seem to recognize his forehead protecter as a symbol of being a shinobi. He was wearing it when he first met Takami, and she still described him as a soldier. So he decided to use the terms warrior and soldier instead. They were more familiar with those and it gave the same general idea of what his job entailed.

"Long story short, every major village has a world recognized leader called a Kage. For example, my village leader was called the Hokage, and a neighboring village had a Kazekage. In order to become a kage you had to be one of the strongest warriors in the village." He paused and looked towards the water again.

"I had a fairly difficult childhood so I made it my goal to become the Hokage so that people would people would finally accept me and so I wouldn't be so alone. After officially become a soldier of the village, I teamed up with Haruno Sakura and a douchebag named Uchiha Sasuke." He smiled at his own story. It was obvious that the people he just mentioned meant a lot to him. Miya could tell with how he eyes shined with joy and the thought of them.

"I loved Sakura-chan about as much as person could possibly love another person. She had pink hair, and a lasting beauty that put all the planet's greatest wonders to shame." He sighed and immediately everyone knew that Sakura, in particular, was someone who was very precious to him. It wasn't just that it was the first time any of them heard him use a honorific. It was how at peace he was when he was talking about her. He voice sounded so loving and distant, like thinking about her was pleasant and painful at the same time.

Takami and Miya were both more perceptive than the rest, and they both noticed how that look on his face took shape like it has been placed there many times before. Was that emotion showing from the fact that he had been taken from his home? It wasn't likely. The way he tried to conceal his pain and remember the joy at the same time was practiced, like he had got used to the idea of never having her but just wanted her to be happy. When he talked about her, he talked like a man that had slowly resigned to keeping the woman he loved happy from afar. He started talking again and cut that flow of thoughts from continuing.

"Sasuke on the other hand was a pretty boy, and I hated how everyone instantly loved him. His whole clan was killed by his brother one night though, so while everyone he met praised him, he was still one of the only ones that could understood being alone like me. However, he eventually left to get stronger, and we all separated for three years to train. Sakura and I ran into him a bunch of times later but never could catch him. It wasn't until a war took over the whole continent, and we all had to get together to fight an organization that wanted total control of the world that we finally were able to be reunited. Bastard always had to make everything hard." He smiled at them but they could hear the sorrow in his words.

It was odd to them. They have never seen anyone who has ever just laid everything out to bare. In the Sekirei's experience humans only hid things from them. Even Takami had to admit that she never met anyone that was willing to do that before. Though he never ask for it, they all resolved to never tell another soul of the Uzumaki's past. He may be trusting of them but they were not trusting of others. It took a lot to give away so much of yourself to strangers like he just blatantly did to them. That earned him the respect of all those that were present.

"To finish, we won the war, I became Hokage, Sakura and Sasuke got together and had a kid, and I did the same when I married what has to be the kindest, most devoted, and warmhearted woman in the world, Hinata Hyuuga." They all wanted to feel bad about how that ended, but the absolute elation he had on his face when he mentioned his wife and family took that pity away. His story had ended with a happy ending.

Or at least it was supposed to…

Until he came here…

After all that Takami watched as Naruto answered any questions they may have had, and told them stories of his time in the land he called the Elemental Nations. Stories of peculiar people he met along the way, like a man named Bee that only spoke in raps and two friends that would do the strangest acts in the name of youth. Then he asked them to spar.

And that's it! Let me know what you think. I'm want to eventually become a writer, but I realized that I have little to no practice writing, Especially when it comes to writing from a 3rd person perspective. I specialize in poetry and flash fiction, mostly because I am good at writing scenes that only have one or two characters, its intimate and personal, but outside of those scenes I'm pretty bad haha.

So yea, there is my first ever chapter on Fanfiction. Please review and give me tips on how I could improve my writing. Thanks!
