(This Story is a continuation of Naruto: Underneath the Underneath. You can read it without reading UTU, but i highly recommend that that you do. Naruto's backstory and his mannerisms ARE A DIRECT RESULT OF THE PLOT OF THAT STORY!)
"Wake him up."
"I woke up a few minutes ago." Stated Naruto as he tested his restraints, his eyes covered by a thick cloth and his body chained to a chair. 'Chakra suppressors huh? Is that why can't I activate the rinnegan? And why can't I feel Kurama?'
"Well good, that will save some time." Stated a familiar voice. "Care to explain why we found you with a whirlpool and Konoha headband? I doubt you have dual citizenship."
Not fully contemplating what the man interrogating him meant, he decided to give up nothing. "My mother was from whirlpool, my father was from the leaf."
"I'm sorry to hear that they are both past. It's a shame when parents can't watch their children grow." Stated the interrogator, sympathy in his voice. "Though I question, are you a yamanaka?"
'A yamanaka? I'm the Godaime hokage! How does this man not know me? Or are they trying to get me to spill secrets?' Wondered Naruto as he continued to contact Kurama. "As far as I know, my father was civilian born. Though I've been told I look like a Senju."
"Hilarious, though I suppose you would look like Tsunade if you had straight hair and brown eyes." Stated the interrogator, almost as a forethought. "Who sent you to infiltrate iwagakure."
"I came of my own accord." Stated Naruto as he contemplated his predicament. "Your leader attacked my supply line to Namigakure. I came to retaliate."
"Wave? I sent no Attack to wave..." Stated another voice, one that Naruto immediately recognized.
"Onoki!?"
"You know me by voice alone I see." Stated the kage who hovered behind the blonde. "Tell me, what happened to this so called supply line that you say I had attacked."
"Cheap trick Kitsuchi. You know I killed that old man in Kumo. Take this blindfold off." Stated Naruto dismissively. 'I see, he's trying to get me off my rocker. But why though?'
Naruto's blindfold was removed and he was shocked to see Onoki staring him in the eyes.
A much younger Onoki.
"What did you just say?" Questioned the sandaime Tsuchikage calmly, hiding the shock he felt when he had called out for his not yet born son.
"You heard me, I killed Onoki at the Chunin exams invasion. Put my fist through his torso." Stated Naruto, his eyes staring through Onoki and into the man behind him, there was something familiar about him.
"I don't have time for your insanity." Dismissed Onoki as he turned to leave. "Kill him."
"Hey not Onoki, when does the side effects of that 'Displacement of Time' shit wear off?" Questioned Naruto. "I want my stomach to stop flip flopping."
Onoki froze, his mind racing. "Get out and seal the room."
Onoki turned his head and roared at the interrogator. "Now!"
It was several minutes later when onoki finally moved, taking up an eye level position in front of the blonde. "You said that someone, obviously of iwa, used the Displacement of Time on you... What year did that take place?"
Naruto, finally beginning to see the possibility that something was terribly wrong, answered. "482."
"I see." Stated Onoki, his eyes showing sympathy. "That vile jutsu sent you back 35 years. It is 447. And that's not all, that jutsu removes you from your timeline and adds you to another."
"So you're telling me that you really are Onoki of both scales?" Questioned Naruto.
"Yes, but not the one you knew, or apparently killed rather. That jutsu is of the highest level secrecy. The fact that you even know it's name tells me that whoever became the kage of this village saw you as a big enough threat to sacrifice their life to remove you from existence." Stated Onoki with a look of disgust on his face. "They would have been thirty five when they cast it. It is an old Uzumaki fuinjutsu that takes away the life lived by the castor and sends the target back and away. I am extremely sorry about this. But this world is not your own, there will be differences in this world, events that haven't happened, history that has been changed from what you know. Even the very timeline may be skewed."
"Why should I beleive any of this? I've been the Godaime Hokage for four years before this happened. As far as I know, Kitsuchi set this all up and is holding me for ransom." Stated Naruto as he tried to activate his doujutsu again, meeting the same futility.
"I shall have a letter penned and sent to Hiruzen. It is up to you to believe me. You are currently being held in a stronghold three miles southeast of Iwagakure. I shall have my fastest bird deliver the letter." Stated Onoki as he got up and channeled chakra into the door, unlocking it and allowing Naruto to smell the fresh air. "I'm sorry this happened to you hokage-dono. Please allow your history to stay in your timeline. This will be my only act of kindness. Just know that the jutsu that was used on you has been used on members of this world as well. There is no known way to get back to your world."
And with that, Onoki disappeared out the door, leaving Naruto in the interrogation room unwatched, and from what Naruto could tell, he was completely unguarded.
Breaking the chain around him and removing the remaining restraints, Naruto found that he had eight chakra suppression tags around his body. "Ok, that's excessive..." Once all of the seals were removed Naruto channeled some nature chakra and found that the stronghold had actually been abandoned, though he could feel a large group of ninja on the outskirts of the far wall.
Naruto attempted to Hiraishin away, but was unable to find any markers other than the ones in his kunai pouch, which he flashed too. Deciding that it wouldn't be a good idea to wear his kage outfit, he sealed his possessions into the seal on the back of his palm. Naruto checked once more and found that the ninja were heading back into the stronghold, so he entered sage mode and fled out the nearest wall, blowing through the brick and mortar, then heading south as fast as he could.
"S-sir... I believe it was wise to let that man go. When he removed the chakra suppression seals his reserves boosted to well above yours, and when he left his reserves exploded." Stated the man that had interrogated Naruto.
"You're dismissed Mr. Morino. You will keep this secret." Stated Onoki as he floated into the air and began moving toward the village. 'Kitsuchi... What could have caused my son to use the forbidden jutsu. And on a kage no less...'
-Six hours later-
Naruto had been running though all the possibilities in his mind as he ran through the woods. It weas quickly becoming obvious that Onoki had been telling the truth, and that this truly was the past, or a past. After Naruto accepted that, he began concocting his next step. Obviously he would work to get back to his world, but if Onoki was correct, then he would have to wait for Jiraiya to pull him back from the other side. That would mean that Naruto would most likely be stuck here for an unknown amount of time. 'But what if, what if I am stuck here?'
That thought made him stop in his tracks. 'Maybe I'll give it a month? If I'm still here in a month, then ill settled down and start building a new life... Fuck, Jiraiya needs to hurry up with this seal.'
-Konoha-
Team Sarutobi stood across from Hiruzen, having been summoned just moments ago.
"I just received a notice from Onoki. He claims to have just captured and released a ninja claiming affiliation with our village. He says the young man is extremely powerful and loyal, and that he would not be in our records." Stated Sarutobi, gaining various looks from all three of his students.
"What ninja would we have operating near Iwa? They bowed out almost a year ago." Stated Jiraiya. "Is there any chance it was one of Danzo's men?"
"How powerful is he?" Questioned Orochimaru. "We did just get suna to bow out of the war after sakumo took down Chiyo's division, he could boost our ninja count while we try to take down Ame and Kiri."
"His identity is unconfirmed, though if he were Danzo's, then he wouldn't have been found." Stated the third.
"I don't like it. My informants haven't said anything about a rogue nin that was loyal to konoha, and we haven't sent anyone out there." Stated Jiraiya. "And Iwa is still neutral bordering on enemy with us, if they had one of ours in custody, why would Onoki release them."
"Did he give a name?" Questioned Tsunade. "I'd like to check against hospital records. His parents might have been nin-"
She was interrupted as Jiraiya took off out of the window of the office, Orochimaru and Hiruzen following him. By the time Tsunade caught up with her sensei, they were all standing at the gates, behind her was a small gathering of shinobi. But it was what was in front of her that had jiraiya so tense.
A tall, extremely muscular, blonde young man was staring down Orochimaru with a smoldering glare. His tight black muscle shirt and baggy pants somehow made him look more menacing.
"I assume you are the one Onoki specified." Stated Hiruzen. "I'd appreciate it if you didn't direct that killing intent at my pupil."
"With all do respect sir, he was the one that directed it at me first." Stated Naruto as he looked over them. 'Wow, Pervy-sage looks young. Tsunade and Orochimaru look the same. Go figure that.' "With pitiful killing intent like that, I could beat him to death with a blade of grass."
"You are an unknown being that was moving at the village at a high rate of speed." Stated Orochimaru. "You're quite lucky that I didn't kill you."
Naruto ignored the snake summoners spike of chakra and instead focused on the third hokage. Naruto knew he would have to gain the man's trust, and other than the Hokage's password, that would be a tall order. On top of that, konoha was still at war with Kiri and ame. If Naruto was correct, then Jiraiya being in the village ment that the trio had not yet fought Hanzo of the salamander, which also meant that his would be father was most likely not yet in the village, nor was his mother.
That was why Kurama wasn't responding to him and why he couldn't use his rinnegan. Kurama must have either stayed in his time or was sucked into his previous host. Without Kurama, Naruto didn't have a strong enough link to the sage, and most likely couldn't use the first four forms of his doujutsu either. That would mean that Kurama was still in Mito. That meant a new problem, without Kurama, Naruto would need to stay in sage mode to use his fighting style. Thank god he still had Hiraishin and sage mode.
"Hokage-Sama, Onoki of both scales said he sent word. Did he inform you of myself?" Questioned Naruto as he visibly relaxed, confusing most watching, as they were all completely on edge.
"Indeed. He claimed you were completely loyal to my village. Strange coming from another kage." Stated Hiruzen. "You appear to be well trained. Who trained you."
"A toad, a slug, a swordsman and a monkey." Stated Naruto, drawing an arching eyebrow from the sandaime. "Oh! And a scarecrow! Can't forget him."
"I see." Stated the professor, his mind wandering. 'The toad contract only has three names on it, and Jiraiya's the only living summoner. The slug contract has only ever been in Senju hands. And a swordsman. Not many konoha nin use swords, that's Kiri and Kumo... And the royal family of uzu. And a scarecrow? The hatake perhaps, but sakumo and Indi are the only two left.'
"Sensei. He feels dangerous." Stated Jiraiya. Only three people ever felt dangerous to hiruzen's student, and that was Hiruzen himself, danzo Shimura, and sakumo hatake.
"I want you three to take him in, but leave him alive." Stated Sarutobi before he raised his voice and looked out at Naruto. "I advise you impress me. I'd like you to answer some questions once you've recovered."
Before most could blink, Orochimaru appeared behind the blonde and aimed a kick at his head, only for Naruto to catch his leg effortlessly, smashing Orochimaru into the ground before backhanding him across the cheek, sending him bouncing away like a child's ball.
Jiraiya and Tsunade simply stated in awe. The blond had just effortlessly handed Orochimaru his own ass, and the snake summoner still wasn't getting up. He hadn't even moved his feet. But it was something that Jiraiya saw that made him quake in his sanders.
Just as Orochimaru had launched his kick, the pigment around the blondes eyes changed from smooth tan to dark orange. Even though he couldn't use sage mode, he knew that happens when Fukasaku used in in their spars. "No, that's impossible..."
"It's not the first time we have seen Orochimaru get overconfident." Stated Tsunade as she entered her battle stance.
"No. I won't fight him. Not only would he defeat me effortlessly, he is a rank higher than I am." Stated Jiraiya, confusing Tsunade.
Hiruzen Sarutobi simply nodded. "Tell me Jiraiya. As an elite jonin, how is this young man a higher rank than you?"
"Whatever his summon is, he has become a master. I no longer doubt he could kill all of us if he wanted to." Stated Jiraiya, his hands shaking.
"What has gotten into you?" Questioned Tsunade, watching him shake like a leaf. "So what he has a summon, all four of us do."
"Jiraiya is correct. Anbu! Bring him to integration." Stated Sarutobi as he looked over the young blond, who was staring at the Hokage monument. "Please come along." 'A sage? I too saw the pigment change in his eyes... Toads... Hmm.'
