Reading Prologue: Journey to a New Beginning

We come inside a nice red luxurious theater room where a tan skinned man having spiky black hair with golden brown eyes in a black coat-like cloak with a hood over it covering his face with black gloves and boots was walking around it making sure everything was set and ready for what was about to happen.

"Alright I got snacks, drinks, the screen is nice and polished, all seats look comfortable, I think I got everything situated." He said before nodding to himself. "Right! Time to bring in the guests." The man raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.

Suddenly in flashes of light the chairs in the room where filled with people and anthropomorphic animals.

With the people there was Naruto, Hinata, Sakura, Shikamaru, Choji, Ino, Neji, Rock Lee, Tenten, Kiba, Shino, Kakashi, Kurenai, Asuma, Guy, Tsunade, and Shizune along with Tonton, and a big dog sized Kurama.

With the animales there was Sonic, Tails, Amy, Knuckles, Shadow, Rouge, Silver, Blaze, Cream, and Cheese.

"What the?" Naruto gasped.

"Now that's a ride." Sonic muttered shaking his head.

"Hello." The man said getting everyone's attention.

"Who're you?" Tenten asked.

"And where are we?" Blaze also asked.

"Well my name is D-nasty." The man introduced.

"*Snicker* D-nasty? That's such a stupid-" Kiba chortled before a rock hit him in the face. "OUCH!"

"I don't want to hear that from someone whose name literally means fang, dog-boy." D-nasty scoffed.

"He has a point." Shino said.

"And you did deserve that." Ino said.

"As for where you all are, you're in a special world where you are to read a story." D-nasty said.

"What kind of story?" Cream asked.

"A story about Naruto's adventures in your world." D-nasty said pointing to Naruto before pointing at Sonic and the gang.

"Huh?" Everyone said confused.

"Don't worry it'll all be explained. But first I have a surprise for you, Naruto." D-nasty said.

"What?" Naruto wondered.

"This." D-nasty snapped his fingers as flashes of light appeared beside him to show Minato and Kushina beside him.

"Dad! Mom!" Naruto said happily getting up and hugging both his parents tightly as they hugged him back just as tight.

"Hello, son." Minato smiled.

"My baby boy." Kushina tearfully smiled.

Those that knew Naruto were happy for him being able to be with his parents while Sonic and the gang were confused but able to tell the love the three had for each other.

"Are you guys here to read this story too?" Naruto asked as his and his parents seperated.

"Yep. D-nasty explained it to us." Kushina grinned.

"We're actually curious on what we'll read." Minato chuckled.

"Alright then, if everyone can get seated I can further explain things." D-nasty said.

Everyone got situated in there seats as D-nasty stood before them before telling them to introduce themselves to everyone and they did before D-nasty got the ball rolling.

"Ok. It was decided by me and a friend like I said to gather you all here to read/watch this story in a different universe about Naruto going into Sonic's world where he has tons of adventures." D-nasty said waving his hand as a thick burnt orange book appeared in it labeled "Adventures of the Orange Flash".

"Orange Flash?" Tails asked.

"Kinda explanatory. Given Naruto's dad nickname if Yellow Flash and his mom's nickname is Red Death. So since red and yellow make orange and Naruto's favorite color he's given a name of his own." D-nasty said.

"Cool." Naruto grinned as Hinata and Kushina giggled as Minato chuckled.

"Now as you read what happens in the story will show up on the screen for you all to watch." D-nasty said pointing to the screen behind him. "As you watch there's food, snacks, and drinks alike for you all to enjoy. Some of them are your favorite. So yes Naruto, Kushina, Hinata, and Sonic. There's even ramen, cinnamon rolls, and chili dogs."

"YES!" Said people cheered making everyone chuckle.

"So who wants to read first?" D-nasty said.

"I'll have a go at it first." Tsunade said.

"Okay." D-nasty said tossing the book at her as she caught it and opened it up.

"Here we go." Tsunade said reading. "Prologue: Journey to a New Beginning"

On a desolate land, one could see craters, kunais, shurikens and other signs of destruction. If you strain your ears, you hear large sounds followed by the earth shaking. If you're wondering what's going on here, then the answer will be war, one that will decide the destruction or salvation of the elemental nations.

"Looks like the story starts off from where were at war three months ago." Minato frowned.

"You guys were in a war?" Knuckles asked.

"Yeah. We barely won." Shikamaru said.

"How do you like that. We were in a war ourselves two months ago." Knuckles said.

"Let me guess evil dictator trying to shape the world in his image?" Asuma asked.

"Correct. Same thing for you?" Shadow asked.

"Same thing, but with a evil organization." Kurenai nodded.

"Looks like no matter where you go there's gonna be guys like that everywhere. Typical bad guys." Naruto and Sonic said at the same surprising each other before grinning. "Jinx! Double jinx! Tripe jinx! Quadruple jinx! Infinity jinx!" They both ended up laughing.

"Looks like Naruto made a new friend already." Shizune giggled.

"The same for Sonic." Amy giggles as well.

Currently two men were facing another across the battlefield, their opponent was none other than Uchiha Madara who is the progenitor of the Uchiha clan and the reason for the war. He had sealed nine of the bijuu within him with one of them being only half while the other half is under the possession of his opponents. He seeks to claim the other half so as to complete his plan, which is to use the moon to cast an illusion on the entire elemental nations and to rule as he sees fit but his opponents won't make it easy for him.

"Using the moon to cast an a illusion all over the world so you can rule? Jeez, that plan sounds all kinds of crazy." Rouge said crossing her arms.

"I betcha it's something Eggman would've come up with. Given the fact he made something like Infinite." Silver commented.

"Too true." Blaze agreed.

"Let's take him down once and for all Sasuke!" said a boy with blond hair, his name is Naruto Uzumaki, a ninja of the Hidden Leaf Village and the jinchurriki of the Kurama the nine tailed fox, he currently possesses the ying half of Kurama's chakra and is currently in his six paths mode which was granted to him by Hagomoro the first Sage of the six paths and the surrogate father of the nine bijuus. Naruto's body is covered in yellow chakra, a circular design over his stomach, the whisker like marks are much thicker to resemble a trigram and six magatama are present around his collar. The darker designs give the appearance that he's wearing a body suit beneath the yellow coat and there are six black balls floating behind him.

"Not a bad look." Sonic grinned.

"Hehe, thanks." Naruto chuckled.

"Wow! It kinda looks like when you, Shadow, and Silver go super!" Cream smiled.

"Chao chao chao!" Cheese agreed waving his arms.

"But what was the thing the story said about a jinchuriki?" Tails asked.

"Basically it's people who have being like Kurama here, a large chakra tailed beast sealed inside them." Kushina said pointing her finger at Kurama.

"That's me." Kurama grinned.

"Whoa." Knuckled muttered.

The boy next to him silently nodded in affirmation, it's his best friend and former team mate Sasuke Uchiha, he had defected from the Hidden Leaf Village in pursuit of revenge but had returned to aid the others, He had also met Hagomoro and now possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan in one eye and the Rinnegan on the other "It's not going to be easy Naruto, especially since he possesses the power of the bijuus,"

"So Sasuke's betraying butt is in the story." Sakura frowned as did everyone else from Naruto's world.

"I take you have problems with him?" Shadow asked.

"He helped in the war, but when it was almost over he pulled a fast one and tried to rule it himself when everyone was weak." Tenten said.

"Naruto here had to kill him to protect everyone from Sasukes rule and wrath." Hinata said holding his hand making Naruto smile back at her in thanks.

"Sasuke was always a flight risk." Neji scoffed.

"And all for revenge." Rock Lee sighed.

"Sounds like a character with a wonderful personality." Sonic said sarcastically.

"You can say that again." Choji nodded.

"Don't worry about that, I just got a trump card for that problem so all I need to do is get close to Madara-Teme for it to work," said Naruto with a smirk.

"I hope you know what you're doing,"

"Of course Sasuke, this is me we're talking about,"

"Exactly my point," Sasuke deadpanned at the blonde.

"Whatever, let's just beat this guy up and then head so that I can have a bowl of ramen at Ichiraku,"

"Heh, I can be a knucklehead sometimes." Naruto chuckled rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.

"Tell the truth." Tsunade teased.

"But you can't deny sometimes it's one of his desirable traits." Sakura giggled.

With that said, Naruto charged forward with Sasuke close behind as they targeted the progenitor of the clan and the cause of the war. "Shadow clone jutsu!" Naruto spawned a few clones that dashed ahead of him with kunai drawn to attack Madara.

"It's best that you surrender, your death is inevitable," said Madara as he held his shakujo at the ready before the clones drew close, then he started defending against the attacks easily due to the power of the rinne-sharingan, one of the clone stretched out a chakra arm to grab the Uchiha but it was blocked another clone threw his kunai only for Madara to twirl the staff to knock it into the air before grabbing it and throwing it back quickly to dispel the clone. A few more clones attacked at the same time with the Rasengan, Madara quickly used Kamui to disappear from the attack and appear elsewhere only for Sasuke to come in from behind with a blazing chidori in his left hand and his tanto in his right.

Madara grabbed Sasuke by the wrist to prevent the chidori from getting any closer and used the shakujo to block the tanto, Naruto was coming in fast with a large Rasengan and three smaller Rasengan orbiting around it.

"Take this, Planetary Rasengan!" shouted Naruto as he launched his attack.

Madara swung Sasuke around to use him as a shield but failed to notice the smirk on the Uchiha's face as he substituted with one of Naruto's shadow clones who then grabbed on and held him in place as the jutsu made contact and sent Madara flying before he crashed into a nearby mountain.

Sasuke moved in to use Amaterasu to finish him off, Madara summoned the skeletal ribcage of Susanoo to block the black eternal flames and formed a skeletal arm to grab him.

"Nice moves." Blaze said.

"Yeah. Even that Sasuke guy has some skills." Rouge said.

"Sasuke was one of the strongest people we had." Kakashi said.

"Even if he turned on us he was a powerful ally to have at the time." Asuma said.

"You are an annoyance, be gone from my sight," Madara threw a black chakra rod which stabbed Sasuke in the chest and tossed him with the skeletal arm to a far distance.

"That had to hurt." Everyone winced at the hit.

"Sasuke! Dammit, without him to help me distract him, I don't how I can use it without him being on alert," thought Naruto as he gritted his teeth.

"Do you have a backup plan kit?" asked Kurama from within the mindscape.

"I do but you're not going to like it," Naruto send his thoughts to Kurama who frowned upon receiving it.

"Are you sure that you want to do this? Doing this both our lives in serious danger and a single slipup could lead to death,"

"We don't have much options Kurama and this could end the war in one shot,"

"Okay kit, just know that we're in this together until the very end,"

Naruto and Kurama looked at each other and grinned while chuckling.

Naruto smiled warmly at the support of his lifelong friend "Thanks partner," he turned to face Madara "Let's do this, Shadow clone jutsu!" several clones appeared and charged at Madara again.

"You're all that is left to stand in my way, once I'm done with you my moon eye plan will be complete," said Madara with a sadistic smile.

"Not if I have anything to say about it, everyone's counting on me and Kurama so I can't afford to lose!"

"We shall see, Fire style: Great Fire Annihilation!" Madara took a deep breath and unleashed a massive blast of fire at Naruto and his clones. Naruto willed the six Guodama to float before him, then he melded them together into one before expanding it to form a shield which the clones took cover behind it right before the fire made contact.

Madara dashed forward and went around the shield to launch another attack only to find neither Naruto nor his clones there. He felt a sudden jolt of pain and looked down to see a fist buried in his gut which came from a shadow clone, then the other clones quickly followed up with attacks of their own "U….Zu….Ma…Ki!" Naruto dived in from above with a Rasengan in hand "Naruto Rendan plus Rasengan!"

"Shinra Tensei!" Naruto and his clones got blasted back from the eye technique and was sent flying away from Madara, Naruto recovered in midair and skidded to a stop and raised his head to see Madara stretching out a hand for his head.

"Geez, I'm on the edge of my seat here through this battle." Amy said.

"I agree with ya, Amy." Tails nodded in agreement.

"Kit watch out, He's trying to use the Deva path of the Rinnegan to draw out your soul!" Kurama shouted out a warning. Naruto grabbed the hand by the wrist and quickly caught the other one which lashed out and held them in place. "You've got to end this quickly, you don't have much longer in this form,"

"What will you do now Uzumaki? I can sense that your chakra is almost depleted," said Madara.

"You're right, which is why I'm going to defeat you by doing this!" A chakra burst out from Naruto's back and was holding a slip of paper with seals drawn on it, then it smacked the seal on Madara's chest. Then the seals glowed a bit, then they crawled of the paper and infused themselves on his body.

"My chakra is going berserk, what did you do to me?!" shouted Madara, he felt as if something was trying to tear its way out of his body.

"It's a special chakra disruption seal that I made during the beginning of the battle, I had my clones create the seal while I kept you busy throughout. It messes with your chakra, something which is very important for a jinchurriki. I've given the bijuu inside you a chance to escape and there's nothing you can do to stop it!"

The one thing that he learned from Pervy sage and his parents is that seals have endless possibilities, he started learning about them after the Jiraiya's death and studied harder after he met the chakra construct of his father. Madara cried out as eight red tendrils of chakra shot out from his body and into the distance.

"Haha! Alright!" Naruto cheered.

"Whoo! That's my baby!" Kushina also cheered hugging Naruto tight who blushed in embarrassment causing everyone to chuckle or snicker.

"Kit, those were the spirits of the bijuu that just came out, that Uchiha bastard is now nothing more than a hollow husk," said Kurama with satisfaction at finally taking down Madara.

"It's over for you," Naruto swung Madara around several times before tossing him into the air, he was about to prepare a Rasenshuriken to finish him off when he heard the Uchiha yell out.

"You little brat! You ruined my plans! If I'm going down then I'm dragging you down with me!" Madara started going handsigns very quickly then he began to glow brightly. Kurama's eyes widened upon realizing what he was about to do.

"Kit get out of there now! He using what's left of his chakra to turn himself into a bomb that will explode over a mile radius! You have to get a move on!" shouted Kurama.

Naruto was about to run when his six paths mode faded away and he was in his ragged orange jumpsuit, he struggled to his feet and started to run but it was that the exhaustion from his previous battles had finally taken effect.

"Oh no!" Ino gasped.

"Not good." Kiba frowned.

"Kit at this rate, you won't be able to make it," said Kurama.

"Dammit, then what should we do Kurama?" asked Naruto while still running.

"Kit, I want you to listen to me carefully,"

Meanwhile, Kakashi, Sakura and Sasuke who was healed by the pinkette were running across the battle towards where they last saw Naruto.

"Hurry, we must get to Naruto to help fight against Madara!" said Kakashi, then they heard an explosion and saw white energy spreading out.

"What was that?" asked Sakura worriedly.

"I don't know but I hope Naruto's okay," said Sasuke, then he saw someone approaching them and recognized who it was "Naruto?!"

"Hey guys," said Naruto with a sad smile which confused them.

"Why are you looking so down? Surely you were able to beat Madara right?" asked Kakashi.

"Yeah I did, but the truth is that I'm a shadow clone," hearing this put shock and fear in the hearts of the members of team 7.

"Uh oh..." Everyone thought in dread.

"W-what happened to the original Naruto?" asked Sakura.

"After freeing the bijuu, the boss was about to finish Madara off when he used a jutsu to self-destruct in order to kill him. The boss was too tired to get away so Kurama performed a kenjutsu which would send the both of them to another dimension in order to escape the kamikaze attack," said the clone.

"Then surely you will be able to come back right?" asked Sasuke, but the clone looked away from them.

"The jutsu is a one way ticket, isn't it?" Kakashi only to receive a nod from the clone. Sakura started to cry as she realized that she would never see Naruto again, just when team 7 had finally reunited.

Sakura frowned at the thought of never seeing Naruto again before she was pulled out of her thought as Naruto's hand was on her shoulder and rubbed it in comfort making her smile at Naruto in thanks and he smiled back.

"That was when he created me and had transform into a kunai which he threw far away from the blast so that I'll meet you and say his goodbyes, as well as give you this scroll," the clone held out a scroll which Kakashi took with shaking hands.

"Who is it for?" asked a tearful Sakura.

"It's someone whom he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, only she can open it," said the clone, then he shook a bit "My time is almost up. Kakashi-sensei, Sasuke and Sakura-chan, I'm leaving Konoha in your hands now. Please protect it,"

"We will Naruto, and that is a promise of a lifetime," said Sasuke. Naruto smiled happily before disappearing in a puff of smoke, the remaining members of team 7 to walk back to the others to tell the sad news that their favorite blond will never be coming back.

"Man, that's rough." Sonic frowned.

"It's always hard to lose a love one." Shadow said.

"Luckily we'll never have to experience that." Hinata said wrapping her arms around Naruto's arm and nuzzled her head into his shoulder.

"No you don't." Naruto smiled at her holding her hand.

Somewhere in a certain mountain, a large blue orb burst from the ground and hovered in the air then five smaller orbs colored red, blue, yellow, orange and green. Then they floated over to the large blue which started to glow.

"We must return to our master," said the blue orb with smaller ones glowing as if in agreement. Then they took off to the sky in a beam of white in search of their mysterious master.

"What was that?" Kurenai asked.

"Betcha it had something to do with Naruto." Rock Lee grinned.

"Suckers bet." Neji and Shino grinned making everyone from the Elemental Nations laugh.

"So what did you think about the first chapter?" D-nasty asked everyone.

"It was nice, Mr. D-nasty." Cream said.

"Chao chao." Cheese agreed.

"Yeah, pretty cool." Sonic grinned giving a thumbs up.

"Makes me wonder what else is in store from this book." Naruto smiled.

"Oh I have a feeling you'll all like it." D-nasty chuckled.
