This is a story I had in my head for a while, what if Naruto was chased into the forest of death at a young age and discovered something, something powerful. Something ancient yet more advanced than his time. Something big. Along with another surprise.
Chapter 1
"Get back here, demon!" a drunk man in a mob yelled with many others in the mob doing the same as they chased a young 5-year-old boy with blond hair, dark ocean blue eyes that are terrified, six whisker marks, three on each cheek.
He had a small, malnourished body from all the mistreatment he received over the years. The clothes he's wearing was a simple white t-shirt with a red flame symbol on the front a red swirl on the back, he was wearing black shorts along with black shoes.
He kept running as fast as his legs could take him, before he entered a forest at the edge of the village, making the villagers stop as well as they knew what the forest was.
"That demon's dead now for sure, no way can it survive in there." a citizen said as the cheered loudly in the night before they were silenced by being knocked out by Anbu and taken to Ibiki by the order of the Hokage, who stood behind the mob with a glare directed at them with killing intent.
"Snake." Hiruzen said, causing a female Anbu with purple hair in a spiky ponytail to appear before him, kneeling.
"Go into the forest of death and find Naruto." Hiruzen said with a commanding voice that has some worry hidden in his tone, making the Anbu nod her head before she leaped into the trees and took off into the forest.
WITH NARUTO 10 MINUTES BEFORE
Naruto panted as he continued running as fast as he could, moving to the sides to avoid running into the tree's as he ran.
He looked behind him to see if any of the mob were still after him, but to his relief, they weren't.
But his relief was short lived when the adrenaline that was pumping through him went away, finally letting him notice his injuries he obtained before he got away from the mob.
Both his arms and legs are fractured and being used to the extreme like he was doing, about to break. His left hand was broken in six places, his ribs were bruised, fractured and broken. He was also pretty sure he had some internal bleeding from where he was hit by some chuunin in the mob since he was feeling an immense amount of pain.
He wasn't paying attention to where he was going and ran into a large cave opening that goes deeper into the ground at a sharp angle. He was sent tumbling rapidly, crying out in pain as he hit many sharp and blunt rocks as he fell deeper and deeper into the cave.
After what felt like hours, when really it was minutes, he finally tumbled out of the cave and landed on something hard and smooth. Before he could think what he was on he started to slide downward, Naruto started panicking and tried to get a grip, but his hands kept slipping and were numb.
As he was sliding, Naruto looked around quickly looked around to see anything he could grab onto, but what he saw were 2 giant statues, one on either side of the thing he's on, which he was guessing was another statue.
He fell off what he was expected to be the head with a weak scream of fear, as he fell he could have sworn he saw a faint glow of cyan from what he was guessing the eyes of the statue for a brief moment before the glow was gone, he then heard a weird sound below him before he landed in a seat that had comfy padding, making his landing less painful.
Before he could try to get out, a cover materialized over the open spot he was in, trapping him inside. He tried to get up, but his injuries finally caught up to him as he started to black out.
As his vision faded he saw what looked like a big computer screen light up a light green color with many complicated things appearing, as his vision was darkening he heard a female voice speak.
"Hello runner, I am Ada." Ada said as Naruto lost conscious.
UNKNOWN TIME LATER
Naruto woke up with a groan as he rubbed his head and looked around him to see he is in a seat with a console in front of him that's just like he saw before he passed out.
"Good to see you are awake, runner." Ada said, causing Naruto to jump slightly in the seat before his body was hit with a dull pain and soreness everywhere.
"Where am I?" Naruto asked as he tried to look out the glass around him, but couldn't see anything.
"You are in an Orbital Frame named Jehuty." Ada informed him as the glass cleared up completely, allowing Naruto to see.
"Woah." Naruto breathed out as he saw the large cavern he's in, everything looked like it was a massive room that has part of the ceiling opened in a giant hole that looked like a chute going upwards at an angle.
Naruto looked around before he noticed the two statues he saw before, the one on hir right looked like a black bipedal jackal with wings and the one on his left looked like a pink human wearing armor.
He looked up to see he was in one that was agua color with gold. He looked at what he guesses were more Orbital Frames and noticed the two were being held in place by some kind of harness that hooks up over the shoulders and travels down the collar to meet in the middle over the chest along with the arms of the Frames inside the harness in a 'T' pose.
He looked up to notice that Jehuty was the same way before he looked down at the screen.
"Is there any way out of here or to wake up the Frames?" Naruto asked as he looked around before he saw the computer screen in front of him have new things appear, he then felt vibrations.
He looked around before he looked up to see the room lighting up with lights being turned on, the harness holding the Frames light up with lights as they activated.
"Whats going on?!" Naruto asked frantically as he looked around, trying to find a way out.
"Calm down, nothings going to hurt you while you're in the cockpit." Ada said as the harness on Jehuty started opening with a groan.
"Place your hands on the controls." Ada advised him as he looked around the cockpit before he saw two black spheres that looked like they were put in halfway on the armrests where his hands would rest.
Naruto slowly placed his hands on the spheres, hoping that his hand won't hurt. When no pain came he let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding.
He then looked up as the harness finished opening the arm area, letting Jehuty's arms fall to its sides before the chest harness opened, letting Jehuty fall a little bit, causing Naruto to scream.
His screaming stopped when he felt the fall stop and looked around to see that they were floating.
"Awesome." Naruto said with wide eyes as he continued to look around and saw that many of the lines that are on Jehuty's body are now having a pulse pattern of bright blue energy flow through them at a few seconds interval.
Naruto looked up again when he heard the groaning of another harness and saw the one on the black Frame was opening.
"Um, doesn't it need someone in it to keep it floating?" Naruto asked nervously as he watched as the black Frame fall for a few seconds before it started floating as well, it had the same blue energy pattern pulsing through it like Jehuty.
"No, Anubis is able to pilot itself if needed." Ada said as Anubis stayed in place while its wings opened a little bit, making it look like a dark angel with its arms crossed.
"Alright?" Naruto said uncertainly as he looked at Anubis before he looked at the pink Frame as the same happened to it with the same blue glow flowing through many of the lines in a pulse pattern.
It turned toward Jehuty and did a curtsy before it returned to a stand-up position and floated there.
"What do we do now?" Naruto asked as he looked around, his answer was a screen to appear before him that said training simulation.
"We get you familiar with the controls and movements of an Orbital Frame while we wait for Anubis and Dolores to start up." Ada said as she brought a few more programs and windows up.
"What do you mean 'startup', they're already up and moving." Naruto pointed out as he looked around at the two floating Frames before he looked back to the screens in front of him.
"Yes, but what I mean is their A.I.'s, which are like me, to start up." Ada said as she finished bringing up the needed programs for the training.
"Okay." Naruto said as they begun the first training session.
AT CAVE OPENING
Many Anbu and Jonin were around the cave opening with long ropes as many holds onto the ropes as some ninjas wall walk down but end up running out of chakra due to the length they were walking or running down before being hauled up and another ninja take their place.
Hiruzen watched this with a concentrated look with the same female Anbu standing behind him to the side.
"It's been two days since we started this and were not getting anywhere, Hokage-sama." the Anbu said as she watched as well.
"We can't give up yet, not until he's back up here." Hiruzen said before continuing.
"Those idiots overdid it this time, I'm starting to believe the civilian council is just calling for meetings on Naruto's birthday just to get me away from watching over him to make sure he is safe." Hiruzen said as he looked at the large cave opening.
"That's what many of the ninjas that like him say as wel-" the female Anbu was saying before she was cut off by many of the ninjas start freaking out and getting ready for something.
Hiruzen jumped and landed close to the edge along with the snake masked Anbu and peered over the edge to see what looks like a small pinprick of aqua light at the bottom.
Before he could give orders, Hiruzen and the other ninja saw many streams of the same aqua color fly through the air and along the ground before going into the cave opening at high speed, taking bits and pieces of the ledge into the fall.
Some ninjas got it by the streams and got knocked over or into the pit, but caught themselves with chakra on the walls and got out quickly before they could fall further.
Hiruzen looked down the ledge to see the pinprick light slowly grow bigger at a steady rate before it started getting bigger faster.
"Everyone move now!" Hiruzen yelled while jumping away as the ground started shaking that grew quickly before it started to feel like an earthquake.
Many of the ninjas jumped and stuck to trees and moved to where they could be shielded by the tree and still see.
After about half a minute a blinding light flashed out the cave for a second before everything went silent.
When a jonin was about to check it out, a light blue blur shot out and straight into the sky, followed by a black blur and after that one was followed by a pink blur. Among the whirling winds, they all heard the sound of laughter.
Hiruzen and the others simply looked up to see the blurs flying around at high speed just above them through the trees.
"Was that, Naruto?" Hiruzen wondered out loud with a raised eyebrow.
5 MINUTES BEFORE
"Well, that's useful." Naruto muttered as he finished the simulations and was moving around in the large room while he waited for Anubis and Dolores to start up.
"Are you done doing that?" a slightly deep female voice that held power in it spoke.
Naruto stopped Jehuty before looking at Anubis and Dolores, trying to figure out which one spoke.
"I guess you're done now." Anubis said as she moved her arms to hang by her sides as she moved her wings a little.
"Oh, so it was you that talked." Naruto said before continuing.
"Now we just have to wait for Dolores to start up." he said while looking at Dolores, who at that moment bolted around the room while laughing loudly and whooping as she went.
"Never mind, I think she just did." Naruto said with a sweatdrop as he, Jehuty, and Anubis watched her in silence before she slowed down to hover in place by them, giggling to herself.
"...had fun?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow as he looked at Dolores, who nodded.
"So, do we get out of here the way I came or a different way?" Naruto wondered as he looked around the room.
"We go out the launch chute." Dolores said helpfully while pointing at the opening Naruto came through in the first place.
"That's the way I came in." Naruto stated while he moved Jehuty underneath the opening to look up it to see an extremely small light in the distance.
"Wow, I fell far." Naruto said with wide eyes as he stared up the chute.
"If we are to make it out before it gets dark, we will need to go fast." Ada said as she closed a few windows on the screen in front of Naruto.
"Luckily your wearing a suit meant for this type of inertia and movements." Ada continued as Naruto looked at the screen confused.
"Suit?" Naruto asked confusedly before he looked down to see he was no longer wearing his clothes, but rather a full body skin tight suit that was a dark burnt orange, had dull white pads on the shoulders that travel from shoulder to shoulder and covers his entire chest.
He also saw a full helmet that covers the entire head with the only part visible being his face.
"When did I get this?!" Naruto yelled as he looked at his arms and legs before noticing something else wrong with him.
"A 5-year-old should not have a body like this." Naruto deadpanned as he looked at his lean, sculpted body.
"That is a side effect of having Metatron infused to your body to heal it." Ada informed him, making him stop admiring his new body and look at the screen in confusion.
"Infused?" Naruto questioned with a tilted head, his eyebrow twitched slightly when he heard quiet squealing from Dolores.
"Yes, in order to heal your body, I had to infuse Metatron in it." Ada informed before she continued.
"There was also an unknown power source inside your body, but it changed when the Metatron came in contact with it, causing it to change its energy from what it was to Metatron. Now you have a self-replenishing Metatron source inside you." Ada spoke while Naruto looked at himself in wonder.
"I have also been able to replicate the new Metatron source's energy signature and able to copy it and placed the new copies inside Anubis, Dolores, and Jehuty. Now they have unlimited Metatron." Ada informed Naruto, Anubis, Jehuty and Dolores made movements that showed they were surprised by this.
"Well, guess it's time to get going, don't you agree." Anubis said after she got out of her surprise, the others nodding and they all moved to be under the chute and prepared to fly.
As they were prepared to go, streams of Metatron came from up the chute and was absorbed into the Frames before they launched upwards at high speed and started maneuvering out of the way, over, and around obstacles as they picked up speed, Naruto and Dolores laughing the whole way with Anubis and Jehuty chuckling as they went upwards.
After a few seconds, they shot out into the open air and started to fly around through the air above the opening and around the trees.
After a few minutes, they stopped and lowered to the ground and floated a few feet from the ground.
"Naruto?" a voice called out from the side, making Naruto turn Jehuty that way as the glass covering the cockpit retracts and allows him to stand up while waving at Hiruzen, who jumped and landed on the ground.
All the ninjas were still in shock while staring at the Frames, Hiruzen was brought out of it when he heard Naruto speak loudly from his spot.
"Hey Jiji, say hi to my new friends!" Naruto said cheerfully while gesturing to the three Frames. Anubis nodded her head while crossing her arms, her tail gently swaying from side to side behind her, Dolores did a curtsy, and Jehuty waved to them.
Hiruzen only shook his head with a small smile.
"Only you Naruto. Only you." Hiruzen said with pride in his voice.
"A quick question, Jiji?" Naruto asked as he looked down at him from the cockpit.
Hiruzen looked up at Naruto with a questioning look before he gestured him to continue.
"Where are me and my friends going to stay now since they can't fit in my apartment?" Naruto asked while scratching the back of his head with a grin.
