Chapter 2: Time in Suna

(Reality Shift)

Sunagakure no Sato

Few Hours Later

"So what are you gonna do now, Naruto?" Asked Gaara noticeably calmer than before they had their short fight. Currently both of them were sitting on the rooftop staring at the sunrise. The rooftop looked clean as if a battle never happened on top of it.

The reason Gaara seems a lot calmer now is simple. After beating into Gaara unconsciousness, Naruto entered Gaara's mindscape through the seal. Then a lengthy conversation happened and Gaara and Shukaku, soon they both agreed to at least be civil with each other and will try to work on their relationship.

Of course he had to threaten Shukaku with absorbing his soul if he didn't calm down. But other than that it wasn't anything special.

Thinking back on the battle he was right, it was an extremely lengthy battle. If any other ninja was participating in the fight they would have collapsed from exhaustion. Gaara being a Jinchuriki with a ton chakra and Naruto's large amount of chakra plus stamina was the only reason they could fight so long. But what Naruto was mainly thinking about is how he fought. In all of his past battles he would rush in without thinking beforehand, coming up with plans on a whim like a badass. While he was training he realized he needed to change his fighting style if he was going to take on his father. Which he still believes could never be cruel and manipulative. But it's better to be safe than sorry.

Right.

So he decided to change his fighting style to a more reserved one. Where he would switch between attacking and defending instead of going full-on attack. He is still making up plans on a whim, but he's using the knowledge of his previous reality to prepare himself when facing against different opponents.

He also noticed that a severe lack of experience from him. Yes, he had experience from fighting crazy battles in his last reality. Perfect examples would be Gaara, Sasuke, Kabuto, Nagato, and Obito. Even though he was clearly stronger than Gaara, Gaara had more experience from his multiple fights with assassins.

You may think that's stupid but let's looked at the logic here. Naruto clearly fought stronger opponents than Gaara. But Gaara has been fighting for years at least starting at the age of six till now when he's eleven. That's five years of life-or-death battles. While Naruto himself has only been a ninja for four years and three of those were used for training. Gaara has been fighting way longer than Naruto, even when he is living his second life. Including the fact Naruto is trying to change up his fighting style so he doesn't have experience in using it.

Naruto broke his thoughts and decided to answer his friends question. He wanted to rebuild his friendship with Gaara and ignoring him is not a good way to accomplish that.

"I might spend a few days in Suna. You know….. getting to know my new friend?" Joked Naruto with Gaara's question with a grin on his face. Gaara nodded to the answer not really acknowledging his pathetic attempt at a joke.

"I can definitely agree with that course of action." Gaara said with a grin on his face. He too wanted to get know Naruto a little more, you really can't blame him Naruto is his first friend. Naruto nodded before standing up preparing to walk around Suna. But he stopped and looked at Gaara, his expression then turned thoughtful before changing to shock.

'I've never seen Gaara grin in my reality. Damn, this really isn't my home.' Naruto quickly shook the thoughts from his head before focusing back on Gaara. Who was staring at the sunrise, smiling peacefully. Then Naruto had a wonderful idea that could really help Gaara in the future.

"Gaara you're the Kazekage's son right? Doesn't that mean you have the Magnet Release bloodline. If you do see if you can somehow convince the Kazekage to teach you how to use Gold Sand or Iron Sand." Naruto said before jumping off the roof. Gaara thought about the question before following Naruto.

Sunagakure no Sato

Few Minutes

It was pure and utter chaos in the Market District of Suna right now. People were running around like headless chickens screaming their heads off in absolute terror at the scene before.

"IT'S THE APOCALYPSE!"

"HIDE YOUR CHILDREN!"

"I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE, I'M STILL A VIRGIN!"

"PLEASE SAVE US KAMI-SAMA!"

"IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD!"

"YOU'LL NEVER TAKE MY SOUL SHINIGAMI!"

You're probably wondering what is happening.

Well you see Naruto and Gaara were walking along the streets of Suna. Not caring that people were gawking at them in shock. Most likely think how Naruto wasn't being crushed to bits by Gaara's sand.

The two were having an interesting conversation about the idea of making up jutsus for Magnet Release. But Naruto decided to try and get Gaara to laugh by telling some jokes. One of his jokes worked and Gaara actually chuckled which led to the villagers freaking out. Having never heard the 'demon' laugh or even chuckle before was an anomaly to them. Even more than the thought of the Fourth Kazekage cheating on his wife. Which has been speculated because of the differences between his three children.

Seriously Gaara is a redhead with green eyes while Temari is a blonde with green eyes, and Naruto doesn't know what the hell Kankuro is but he has black eyes. Now that he thought about it Kankuro's eyebrows were black so maybe he has black hair. The Fourth Kazekage who has auburn hair and black eyes. Then Karura had sandy brown hair and indigo eyes from what Gaara has told him about his mother. So where the hell did the black hair, blonde hair, and green eyes come from? The only logical answer is Rasa cheated on Karura.

Or their genes came from their grandparents.

Going with his better judgement Naruto decided to stop investigating the matter.

"Yo Gaara aren't the ANBU or some chunin going to stop the chaos?." Naruto asked turning to Gaara who just shrugged.

Even though ANBU are the elites of the entire ninja force within a village. They not only complete high level missions they also secretly act like guards. Protect the village from the shadows, always watching incase of an attack.

"Where are we going anyway?" Naruto asked, even though he has been in Suna before but he's never explored it.

"The training grounds." Gaara said as if it was obvious.

"Why?"

"So I can beat you."

"Wait what?"

(Reality Shift)

Training Ground

Few Hours Later

Naruto breathed lightly as cuts littered his body, prominently on his arms and legs. Gaara stood on the other side of the sandy field his body also littered with cuts. He looked as calm and composed as always, not even showing signs of fatigue. Usually a small spar wouldn't tired him out so much thanks to his godly stamina of being an Uzumaki and a former Jinchuriki. But during the fight Naruto would constantly pulsed his chakra through his body when ever he was injured.

In his reality Naruto has seen Gaara control people by using the sand inside of a person's blood. The sand gets there whenever he injured and would then force some of his sand into his opponent. In response to the technique Naruto wasn't sure if Gaara created it yet so he would pulsed his chakra to mess with Gaara's control over the sand that was possibly in his body.

He had made liberal use of the Body Flicker Technique to evade Gaara's surprisingly fast sand, which for some odd reason kept getting faster as the spar went on. Naruto has a sneaky suspicion that Gaara wasn't serious when they fought on the rooftop the night before. On the inside Naruto was cursing Shinigami like a sailor. Of all the information Shinigami downloaded into his brain which consisted of history of the world, exercises to increase his physical, mental, and ninja capabilities. His Kenjutsu style the Dances of the Water Spirits, information on the Rinnegan, and some jutsu's. Shinigami never thought to give him the information on how to use the Flying Thunder God Technique. Naruto completely understood why, he had seen it personally in the Fourth Shinobi War.

Kakashi had used his connection to Obito through his transplanted Sharingan to access Obito's Kamui Dimension. Shinigami most likely didn't want to take the chance of the same thing happening with the Flying Thunder God Technique between him and Minato.

Or Shinigami is just a big troll.

So now Naruto is currently developing his own Jikukan Ninjutsu. He already understands the mechanics behind the Flying Thunder God Technique, it takes the principle of the Body Flicker Technique and improves upon it.

"Yo Gaara let's go again." Naruto called out to Gaara ready to start another spar. Gaara nodded as his sand shifted erratically ready to be used.

They readied themselves to start again when they both tensed at the sudden arrival.

To the left of the two children is a stern looking adult with auburn hair and dark eyes. He is wearing a black jacket, pants, and sandals on his hip is a silver cannister. This man is Rasa of the Gold Sand the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure no Sato.

He is also Gaara's father and a S-rank ninja.

Apparently in this world S-rank ninja are way stronger in this reality than his and are considered rare existences. Naruto hasn't seen it personally but from the few ninja he has eavesdropped on are always by the mere mention of a S-rank. And Naruto can understand there nervousness, he his practically shaking.

Rasa's presence is crazy, it's like a vicious animal staring at him as if he was food. Naruto had no delusions of him being able to take on Rasa in a fight, he would be crushed in a second.

The man looked at Naruto noticing the movement of his body, before impassively facing Gaara. Who was able to hide his unease thanks to being in his father's presence often

"Gaara it's late, why don't you go home and get some sleep." Rasa said to Gaara in a tone that clearly said it was an order. Gaara gave Naruto a questioning look who just nodded and walked away. Even though he didn't want to be with Rasa it would seem suspicious if Gaara suddenly defended him from anything. Rasa rounded on Naruto as soon as Gaara was out of hearing range.

"Who are you boy?" He said the word boy like an insult, while it may seem petty that an adult is insulting a child he has his reasons for being rude.

"My name is Naruto Kazekage-sama." Naruto said with respect while bowing his head, forcibly holding in the stutter that almost escaped his lips.

Rasa didn't even bat an eyelid at the title. Of course the boy would know him, being a kage and a S-rank nin anyone with ninja training should know him. And it was obvious the kid had ninja training considering his spar with Gaara he was watching.

"No last name?"

"Correct, i'm an orphan." He answered with the half-truth, he is an orphan but he knows his last name. Naruto being an Uzumaki is something Rasa doesn't need to know. Since the name Uzumaki is often associated with potential. He'll constantly be monitored by Suna ANBU to make sure they can stop him if he becomes a threat to the village. Even it seems messed up, the world is just like that.

"Alright run along."

Naruto stared at Rasa before just walking away. As soon as Naruto was out of eyesight Rasa acted.

"ANBU!" Rasa yelled and silently a masked ninja appeared beside him.

"Yes Kazekage-sama."

"I want you to watch that boy he has made a connection with our Jinchuuriki." Was the only explanation Rasa needed to give the ANBU.

"Yes Kazekage-sama." The ANBU disappeared from his sight soon Rasa walked back to the Kazekage Tower get some paperwork done. It always piles up when he isn't looking and no matter how hard he tries he can never finish it all.

Curse those infernal papers, curse them to hell.

(Reality Shift)

Random Hotel

Few Minutes Later

As soon as the door to Naruto's room closed various symbols on the walls and floor lit up. The light soon died down showing no remains of the symbols.

Naruto flopped on the bed and let his tense muscles relax. He knew there was an ANBU following him through deductive reasoning. Naruto knew why too, him a random boy made a connection with his jinchuriki, his weapon, his tool to throw away if the situation calls for it. Something that Rasa didn't want for some reason. It made the walk to the hotel seem longer than it actually was.

'So that was a S-rank ninja, scary.' Naruto thought to himself.

Even though Naruto has encountered S-ranks before, they never showed there true power being to arrogant in their abilities. In this world they aren't afraid to do anything to win and guarantee their survival. Which is most likely why Rasa was trying to intimidate him, he's afraid of Naruto for some reason.

His Akatsuki while powerful never fully showed that power. There were always stories of Deidara destroying armies with his explosions, yet Naruto never witnessed it. Plus almost all of them were taken down by ordinary ninja like Sakura and Shikamaru.

He looked around at the kanji around the room that was only visible to him considering he set them up.

Those are Privacy Seals a seal birthed by the combination of the Sound Seal and the Illusion Seal. It makes a barrier around a certain area that prevents sound from escaping it and anyone from looking inside of it.

He signed to himself knowing he has some form of privacy and took a nap.

Few hours later Naruto's eyes fluttered open and he yawned. Rubbing his eyes he got up and walked over to the desk in the hotel room, he sat down in the chair and unsealed a scroll from his arm and unrolled it. The scroll had various kanji on it known to the ninja world as seals. He put his hand on one specific seal formula and a large paper appeared in his hand.

The paper was littered with hundreds of different seals to form an entire a seal formula with one specific purpose. Months of study, research, and meditation allow him to progress towards his single goal.

To make his own Jikukanjutsu similar to the Flying Thunder God Technique and Kamui.

The principle behind the Flying Thunder God Technique is surprisingly simple. It works by using an anchor saturated in their or in other words Minato's three-pronged kunai. The user then uses the anchor and pulls themselves towards at high almost invisible to the naked eye. Evidently by the yellow flash which is actually Minato's hair moving at high speed. There there is another seal within the formula that disengages and separates the molecules of the user, allowing them to travel through walls. Then there is another seal that puts the molecules back together when the user reaches their destination. This is also why Minato can't use this technique long distances, because the longer the molecules are separated the harder it will be to put back together. If it doesn't well it ends in death as simple as that.

Naruto's own Jikukan Ninjutsu won't have the restrictions like the Flying Thunder God Technique and Naruto knows exactly how to do that, but he is missing a piece to the puzzle.

Streets of Sunagakure no Sato

Next Day

When Naruto woke up the next day he expected to get have breakfast and travel around Suna. But what he wasn't expecting was a small blue swallow staring at him through his window. Everywhere he moves it eyes follow with rapt attention that could be considered obsessive.

Naruto really should be suspicious of the bird possibly belonging to a ninja, and was sent to watch him. But the bird wouldn't sit out in the open and watch him with no form of subtly. O he just decided to ignore and get on with his day.

As Naruto walked out of the inn towards one of the many public training grounds available for civilians, he noticed the bird on top of the roof of a building next to him. He just ignored it as it followed him through Suna.

Naruto caught quick movement on the rooftops next to him. His mouth set into a thin line when he realized he was being watched most likely by ANBU. Well he's going to have to tone down his training, Rasa doesn't need anymore reason to watch him.

He came upon the training ground which is nothing but a sand plot with some trees. The swallow flew over to one of the branches and landed on it, continuing to watch Naruto.

He stood there doing nothing before three puffs of smoke appeared around Naruto. Out of them appeared three Shadow Clones, the clones spread out over a far distance. Each of them acted, one pulled out shurikens and the other two started handsigns. Naruto readied himself for the attack.

"Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique."

"Water Release: Water Trumpet Technique."

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique."

Dozens of shuriken, a stream of water, and a medium sized fireball soared towards their target. Naruto who threw his hand out dramatically causing his cloak to flutter making him look awesome, yelled the last part of the jutsu just to appease the ANBU watching.

"Uzumaki Barrier Technique: Seven Rotating Crimson Petals."

Immediately red chakra burst forward from Naruto's hand and formed a red flower in mid air with seven petals. The flower then started rotating at high speeds becoming basically a blur of red. The three jutsus sent by the clones collided with the spinning flower, instead fighting against the shield it was deflected and fizzled out of existence thanks to lack of chakra.

Seven Crimson Rotating Petals is a Kekkaijutsu that takes the form of a crimson flower that spins violently that deflects attacks towards the opposite direction. As for naming it an Uzumaki Technique which he whispered so the ANBU wouldn't hear, Naruto found out the Uzumaki Archives was burned to the ground most likely by the Uzumaki to save their secrets. So Naruto took it upon himself to rebuild the archives by making up jutsus the first on being Seven Crimson Rotating Petals.

Still it's going to take years for Naruto to come up with enough jutsus to even make a fraction of the Uzumaki Archives but he is making some progress.

Of course the clone weren't idle, as soon as they're attacks were deflected they acted. Soon black flames sprouted from their fists and they charged the original.

'Blaze Release: Dragon King's Fist.' Is the shared thought between the clones. The black flames of Blaze Release burning fiercely in their hands. Naruto drew Yoishigure in response to the attack that confused him.

"Blue Saber." Water chakra traveled up Naruto's sword and continued until it reached a few inches from the tip. The chakra soon materialized and formed a blade of water. Not hesitating for a second Naruto sliced through the midsection of the clones causing them to dispel.

When the smoke cleared Naruto's confused face was shown. Why did his clones use something as secret as Blaze Release out in the open when they know there is an ANBU watching them. He closed his eyes and shifted through the memories and had to fight down the twitch in his eye.

His clones used Blaze Release to basically feed the ANBU so it would return to the Kazekage and report to him. He just hoped the idea worked which it most likely did.

His clones are geniuses.

Kazekage's Tower

Few Seconds Later

"Are you sure about this?" Rasa asked staring at the ANBU with his usual stern look.

"Yes Kazekage-sama."

Rasa stared at the ANBU silently regarding what he said.

"You may go continue watching the boy." Rasa commanded the ANBU who silently nodded before Body Flickering out.

Rasa stood up and looked out the window giving an amazing view. His thoughts went to the redhead boy that somehow befriended Gaara. Which is something he can't allow, Gaara is suppose to be the perfect Jinchuriki like the Eight-Tails. Having emotional connections will hinder that outcome from happening. Rasa doesn't want Gaara to die, he may not show it but Rasa cares for Gaara like any father should. Throwing Gaara away will be spitting on the memory of his wife Karura who still holds a place in his heart. Even though he wasn't faithful to her Karura was still faithful to him even with knowing Kankuro wasn't her son.

Gaara is a Jinchuriki and he was destined to be a ninja of Suna from birth. Not only because he is a Jinchuuriki but also for being the kage's son.

His thoughts went back to the boy. Black fire? The only thing that comes to mind when thinking of it is Blaze Release. So the boy not only befriended Gaara but also has a bloodline. Just great if he keeps going the way he is the kid might need to be eliminated. It pained Rasa to possibly order the death of a kid that hasn't even hit puberty but his job as a kage only entails one thing.

Protect the village at all costs.

Training Ground

Same Time

The girl watched the boy train with his clones that are somehow able to affect the physical world. Maybe there elemental clones but something like that is for chunin to learn not a boy who isn't even a genin.

She had seen the boy talking and training with Gaara before Kazekage-sama interfered. Her thoughts turned a little bitter at the thought of that man. How can she not he always ruins her chance of forming a connection of Gaara.

And this boy had done something she tried to do for years yet could never succeed. Now she has to make sure he has no hostile intentions for Gaara.

On that day Temari of the Desert decide to look out for her brother.

End

Boomshakalaka the second chapter of Reality Shift. I'm deeply sorry this took so long to get done but I got a major case of writer's block so I had to push through it and get this down.

In this chapter I explored a little bit about S-rank Ninjas in naruto fanfiction the only S- nin are usually the Akatsuki and some Konoha nin and not many from the other villages. Also it annoyed me how the Akatsuki were taken out, killed by Sasuke, buried by Shikamaru (I call bullshit on that), committing suicide, and Juzo Biwa's idiotic ass. The only ones i'm satisfied with is Nagato's and Kakuzu's deaths. So not only the Akatsuki but also S-rank nin will be getting a boost in power, there will also be more I'll even give a list next chapter about the power levels of the character.

Since there are going to be Original Jutsus in this fic I will release a sort of list with information about these jutsus and techniques.

I'm also thinking of changing the 'Uzumakicest' tag since Naruto won't be paired with just Uzumaki. I will take one and I mean ONE recommendation for the harem (see down below).

Next is a chapter for Uzumakicest.
