Author's Note: I changed the beginning a little. Barely, but still, I think it flows a lot smoother like this.

"...It was an accident."

Sakura face-palmed, "God-damnit, Sasuke."

The world had been saved from Kaguya, Madara, and Obito, and Naruto was praised throughout the Elemental Nations as the hero who saved the world.

He'd even managed to beat that Teme, Sasuke's, ass and convinced him to let go of his stupid revolution crap.

Peace between nations had already been achieved, there really was no point in having a revolution after the goal of the revolution had already been accomplished.

Seriously, it was almost like Sasuke thought that every single resident of the Elemental Nations was a war-hungry maniac.

Anyway, so yeah, peace had been achieved, everything was going along just fine, and there was no doubt that Naruto was going to be the next Hokage!

Only…it turned out that he was too immature or something to be the Hokage at the time and he needed to get wiser before he could put on that awesome hat.

Pffft, whatever.

So, Kakashi, the sixth Hokage, gave him two choices. Travel the world like Sasuke or stay in Village, do missions and gain experience the way shinobi usually did.

At first, the choice was obvious. There was no way in hell he was going to do the same thing that Sasuke did. He could just imagine the smug look on that bastard's face when he found out that he, the great and amazing Uzumaki Naruto, had copied Sasuke of all people.

However, the more he thought about it, the more appealing that option became.

The years spent travelling with Jiraiya had been few of the most fun years he had ever experienced. It's not like he hated the village, on the contrary, he loved it. It's just that he wanted to travel for a while.

So he told his sensei and left to once again travel all around the elemental nations. He made a huge a list of places that he wanted to go to and set off, but within a mere month, inside an ancient Ōtsutsuki shrine, he ran into a familiar face.

"Huh? Sasuke? Watcha doin' here?" Naruto casually greeted his wayward friend.

"That's my question dumbass. I decided to travel the world remember? Finding me outside of Konoha shouldn't be that surprising. More importantly, are you here for a mission?" Sasuke asked.

"Not really, I also decided to travel the world," Naruto responded.

Contrary to his expectations, Sasuke did not flash him a smug grin, but even then, he could feel that "I am above you, obviously you would follow my footsteps" look coming from Sasuke. Naruto clenched his fists and tensed his muscles to punch Sasuke in the face, but before he could even cock back his fist, Kakashi-sensei's voice rang out in his mind.

"Above all, you need to learn patience and discipline, only then can you become Hokage."

"Dammit," Naruto quietly whispered to himself and relaxed his fists.

Sasuke waited until Naruto was done cycling through multiple different faces and emotions before he waved his hand to gestured at his surroundings and asked, "What are you doing here Naruto? This doesn't seem like your kind of place.

Naruto allowed his eyes to wander around the room, and noticed that entire room was bare, gloomy, and the only visible point of interest was the Ōtsutsuki clan symbol on the wall.

"This does seem your kind of place though. All doom and gloom, not to mention that chakra leaking out from that symbol that feels kind of like your Six Paths chakra," He pointed out.

Sasuke's eye subtly twitched.

Naruto continued, "Anyway! I thought that travelling the world would be fun and stuff, but it turns out that I've already been almost everywhere. It's so boring! I even made a list of all the places I wanted to visit, but it barely took me around half a day to get to all of them."

"How many places were on that list?" Sasuke asked.

"Uhhh, let me check," Naruto rustled through his pockets a bit before he took out a small, folded up piece of paper, "twenty-five," he answered after a few seconds.

Sasuke sighed, "Naruto, travelling the world doesn't mean getting to all your destinations as fast as possible. You don't need to use your Kyuubi chakra mode."

He scowled,

"By the way, that still doesn't answer the question of why you're here."

Naruto frowned and squinted his eyes, "I knew that! I've travelled the world before too, ya know? I spent the next two weeks just walking aimlessly and grew so bored that I used my sage mode to sense if there was anything interesting going on. I sensed the chakra leaking from this symbol and rushed here, I didn't realize you were here too since that chakra is so similar to yours," he paused and sighed, "But it looks like there's nothing here either, it's just a symbol leaking chakra. I'm so bored!"

Sasuke turned towards the symbol and asked Naruto, "And you don't think a symbol leaking chakra is odd?"

Naruto opened an eye, "Of course I think it's weird, but this is the Ōtsutsuki clan we're talking about. Anything that has something to do with them is weird."

He waved his hand as if there was a fly in front of his face,

"Plus, it looks harmless."

The two spent a few beats in silence before Naruto smashed his fist into his palm and let out a megawatt smile,

"I got it! If there's nothing new to explore here, then I'll just go and explore different dimensions! Come on Sasuke! Help me out!"

Sasuke sighed again and glared at Naruto, "No. Travelling through dimensions is too dangerous-

"Aw, come on!" Naruto interrupted, "It'll be fine! Just once? Please? Pleaaaase!"

Sasuke's eyes twitched rapidly while he simultaneously debated the pros and cons of Naruto's plan and ignored his incessant begging.

After a few minutes, Sasuke opened mouth, "Fine. But-and you have to agree to this condition- I will only do this once. Got it? Only. Once. You don't bother me about this ever again. That's the deal, take it or leave it."

Naruto jumped around in excitement, "I knew you'd see it my way, Sasuke! Thanks!"

Sasuke let out a tiny smile at Naruto's enthusiasm before he wiped it away so that the blond wouldn't notice.

He activated his rinnegan and started gathering his chakra,

"Ready?" He asked.

Naruto smirked let out an enthusiastic, "Of course"

Sasuke responded with a smirk of his own and started teleporting Naruto to a relatively close dimension that he could easily access, but unfortunately for the duo, the symbol that they had previously disregarded as harmless, acted up and interfered the with Sasuke's teleportation technique.

Sasuke fought with all his might to shut off his teleportation technique but the intruding chakra simply wouldn't let him,

"Shit! I-I can't stop the technique! Naruto! You have to be careful! I have no idea what dimension you'll end up in. Try your best to find a way back!"

Naruto grimaced before a full-blown smirk overtook his face, "Don't worry Sasuke! I'll be back in no time! I was the one who said I was bored, so who knows? This may end up being fun!"

Sasuke responded with a cynical grin of his own before the technique exploded and sent him tumbling back. He rose to his feet in an instant, in hopes that maybe the technique hadn't worked after all, but when he scanned the room, Naruto was nowhere to be seen.
