"Welcome to the Land of Dead"

Sapphire blue eyes fluttered open, only to be met with a consuming void of pitch black. Feeling the oppressive weight of nothingness close in on him, Naruto Uzumaki had to ask, "Where am I?"

His hand brushed through golden locks, blue eyes looking around, searching for a landmark.

A figure caught his eye.

He wasn't sure why, but part of it was her beauty. Immaculate blue hair—tied up into hoops of some sort—covered her head, giving her an almost ethereal appearance. Her eyes were deep, deeper than any ocean he had seen. Even her clothing, which was so different compared to everything he had seen, drew him in like a moth to a flame.

Beautiful.

Was the only thing he could think about.

'Wait... Land of Dead, is this another hidden village? Pervy sage didn't mention one.'

"Hello, Who're you? What is this place? Why am I here?" asked Naruto, his pupils were staring blankly at the void in front of him.

"Hello to you too. To answer your questions, I'm Aqua, Goddess of Water, worshipped by the people of Axis Order. We are in a place between heaven and hell. As to why you're here, that's because you're dead." explained Aqua without an ounce of care towards the person, about how he'll feel.

'You're dead… You're dead… You're dead…' These words echoed inside his mind and shocked Naruto to his core.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M DEAD!" Yelled Naruto, his emotions high, out of control, the thought of dying this early didn't even appear in his mind.

"I can't die. I still have to be Hokage and I haven't brought Sasuke back to the village yet!" Exclaimed Naruto wide eyed. His eyes started to grow moist at the thought of missing all of his precious people. He didn't even got to know who his parents were.

Seeing the blond's sad look, the goddess decided to play her card at the right moment. After seeing Naruto recover from his debacle the water goddess spoke "Yes. You heard me right. Your death was pointless one at that and rather a funny one at that."

Being called his death a pointless one saddened him a lot. He had a look of confusion on his face. Did the Akatsuki managed to capture him? Did they extract the Kyuubi? Or had some enemy village tried to poison him? He looked up at the goddess and was hesitant to ask a question, though he managed to get a little braver and asked "C-can you atleast show me how I died?"

After defeating Kakuzu, Naruto was walking around the village, hands behind his head, his feet taking him to eat some ramen. Checking out of the hospital was a pain in the ass, like Shikamaru would say 'it's troublesome'.

Roaming around the village he came across his favourite spot, Ichiraku Ramen, the place that serves his favourite food. Unknown to him, a pair of white eyes were observing him from a distance, stalking him, taking notice of every step, every move he was making.

Naruto was greeted by the cheerful faces of Ayame and her father Teuchi.

"Welcome to Ichiraku Ramen, how may we help you?" said Ayame with the ever loving smile on her face. "Oh! It's you Naruto, What can I get for you?" She was delighted to see Naruto, having recently heard that he'd defeated a powerful opponent, she was glad to see that he was okay. She loved Naruto like a little brother, having served him Ramen since he was a little kid.

Naruto was happy to see the faces of his precious people, greeting them he ordered his regular bowls of ramen. Soon the owner of those white eyes got near the stand, and sat beside the son of the Fourth Hokage.

The blonde jinchuuriki recognized the familiar Chakra, and cheerfully called out for her, "Hey Hinata! Wanna grab a bite with me?"

After hearing her crush inviting her to eat, ' It's kind of a date with Naruto... Naruto inviting me to eat with him. I think this is the perfect moment to confess him..' thought Hinata.

"S-sure N-Naruto, I would l-love that." Hinata whispered, her breath escaping her, heat welling up in her cheeks tainting her pale features.

"N-Naruto... I, I was wondering if I could talk to you?" Hinata got out, her shyness having crept forward for a moment.

Naruto rose a brow, his chopsticks mid-way through the action of shoveling more noodles into his mouth. With a large slurp he pulled the noodles up and swallowed them. He thumped his chest helping the noodles go down, "Uh sure, what's up Hinata?"

"W-well N-Naruto... for the longest time... I've always watched you... Watched you for many years... Why? I don't know why, but whenever I look at you... I feel a wave of courage within me.. It makes me feel like I can accomplish something if I try.. It-It makes me feel like I'm worth something..." stuttered Hinata, her hands fumbling with with the hem of her oversized jacket, "... I- I love you N-Naruto..." She closed her eyes, not sure if she would be able to take the look he sent her way. Not sure she would be handle the rejection from someone who she held so dear.

Slackjawed from the confession received from the Hyuuga Heiress, he was thumping his chest hard to swallow the noodles which were stuck inside his throat. The whisker faced Shinobi began choking on his noodles. His breath stopped, eyes dropped, he began to cough—heavily. Hinata was frightened from the reaction she received but panic rose within her, she was scared.

Ayame and Teuchi gathered around Naruto to see what was wrong with him. The blond shinobi looked helpless, his face started turning blue, his breathing stopped, and just like that the unpredictable ninja died due to his precious food ramen.

"I died because of ramen..." Naruto said dejectedly. He was sad that he didn't get to reply to Hinata's confession. She was the first person to ever say those words "I love you… Naruto." What was so special in him for her to love him. He may be powerful but he didn't know love. He could not understand the love that she held for him, the closest thing he knew to love? his failed crush on Sakura.

He could not say that he loved her, though at the same time he couldn't say that he didn't. Love, was something that Naruto just didn't understand.

Something like Death wasn't going to hold him down for a long time. He knew that he was going to die in the future but he didn't expected right now. Naruto recovered and pushed forward, his eyes locking with the Goddess, prompting her to continue her tale.

"Haha… that was the funniest death I've ever seen happen to a human. Dead, by his beloved food." Aqua replied in her smug tone.

The oh so haughty tone of the goddess in front of him pissed Naruto off so much that he wanted to strangle her to death.

"I've two options for you. I can send you to heaven or hell based on your actions in your previous world, or I can send you to entirely new world with your memories intact. You must choose wisely." addressed Aqua to the shinobi in front of her.

'Can she even do that?'

"Can't you just send me back to my own world?" asked Naruto. He just wanted to go back, there was still threat of Akatsuki looming around.

"No can do, it's impossible for me to send you back to your world. You only have two options either to move to heaven where you can live peacefully, but you can't be a ninja anymore, doesn't that sounds boring to you. Or move to the new world where you'll be able to make new friends, go on adventures with them. With enough power you can also become the new king, people will respect you. Wasn't that your goal? To make people notice you."

Naruto gained a faint smile at the mention of his dream.

"The way you died was lame. We can't do anything about that now though… I was wondering, do you still want to be a hero? Do you still want people to look up to you? Do you still want to be seen as 'Naruto'?" Aqua's questioning gaze loomed over to the blond Uzumaki, whose face looked like he was having inner struggle with himself. When he was younger, he wanted recognition from the populace, but now the chance to get some from the villagers, that he swore to protect, would never come back. Could he, could he do the same in another world? With different people, different problems?

"In the world where I'm sending you, there's a threat of the invasion of Demon king's army, the world is in pinch. Because of this, many people before you have refused to be revived in that world. And since humanity would die and out and perish at this rate, it was decided that somebody who died in another world be sent there. Somebody like you who died young and doesn't know when to give up. So won't you go there and defeat the Demon king?" Finished the goddess with an innocent look on her face and winking at the blond.

As soon as Naruto heard that there was an evil army—being an honest person at heart—he couldn't leave an evil entity to rule the world. "Will I be able to keep all my powers?"

"Yes, you'll keep all of your powers intact, even that Nine tailed Rabbit…"

Inside Naruto's stomach said entity growled at the mention of his ears, it was not his fault that his ears were like that. Blame Rikudo Sennin for creating him and his brethren.

Naruto stiffened at the mention of his burden, he looked anywhere but Aqua's eyes. "How did you know about him?" Asked Naruto.

"I'm a goddess after all, I know a lot about you humans, I just hate to interfere with your lives doesn't mean that I don't observe you people going on with their lives." replied the blue haired goddess in her smug tone.

The blond Uzumaki could feel the smugness in her tone, she gave off the same feeling Sasuke did when he used to talk with him. He couldn't shake that feeling, to be looked down by Sasuke was enough, he can't let anyone do that again, even if the person in front of him was a goddess. He was going to show her why he was called the Unpredictable Shinobi.

"What about the language? How am I going to learn it?" Inquired Naruto.

She gained a thoughtful look in her eyes, getting up from the seat she moved towards the Uzumaki and summoned a paper out of nowhere and presented it to him.

Naruto gave a glance on the paper and noticed that it was written in his language. He realised it contained the rules and 'what if' about the new world or certain dimensions.

The water goddess then presented some cards in front of Naruto and said "You can choose a weapon of your choice from these cards. It will give you firepower to defeat the Demon king."

"I don't need any of these weapons, my own fists are good enough." Was the instant reply of the blond. He was being honest, he didn't need any weapon it's not like he didn't know how to use different weapons than Kunai and Shurikens, but he never felt like using them, only weapon he once used was the Demon Wheel Shuriken, but that was a long time ago during the fight with Zabuza.

"Oh… you think a pathetic being like you can defeat the Demon king?" Questioned the beauty with a teasing voice.

Naruto was getting ready to strangle her, who the hell did she think she was, calling him pathetic and all. Suddenly Naruto gained a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"I can choose anything I want right?"

She nodded without looking at the whisker faced boy, not knowing anything about what was going on in his mind.

"You" said Naruto in husky voice, at least he thought it was."For my weapon— I choose you. Being a goddess you must be very powerful. With both of us there we can easily defeat the Demon king." Was the instant reply of the blond. In his mind he was thinking how he was a genius to choose her. 'Maybe that'll teach her not to mess with Naruto Uzumaki… heh! Dattebayo!'

The water goddess was shocked, she couldn't even form a proper sentence, "I don't think-"

Suddenly they both were surrounded by a bright light, and out of that appeared a beautiful woman with blonde hair, who looked more like a than the first Goddess, she had wings just like an angel from fairy tails and a golden Halo above her head. Naruto was speechless as he observed the beauty in front of him. He was sure if Pervy Sage were here he'd try to woo the angel without any care in the world.

"Your request has been accepted Naruto Uzumaki. Lady Aqua, I shall now take over your work from this point onwards. So do your best and take care." The angel said with a kind smile.

'Eh?' was the thought of water goddess.

A magic circle appeared below both of them, green light making them float, while Aqua was throwing a tantrum.

"You can't do this to me. I'm a goddess. It's against all the laws." yelled Aqua. Naruto was getting more and more frustrated by her yelling but decided to ignore here in favour looking at the angel. Noticing that she was being ignored "You'll pay for this Naruto Uzumaki, mark my words." Cursed Aqua. A devilish grin appeared on Naruto's face as she began cursing more and more.

Thus began the quest of Naruto Uzumaki-most unpredictable shinobi, a former Child of prophecy and unknown to him son of the Fourth Hokage-into a new world to defeat the Demon king and his evil army.

I would like to thank my fellow author Plagued Ambition, without him I wouldn't have written this story, and also Abnormal Writer for writing the first ever Naruto x Konosuba crossover. Well he gave me inspiration to write this fic.

Please leave nice and long reviews.
