Welcome to a new chapter of Naruto: This Beautiful World. I do not own anything but the story itself.

As Sasuke readied for school the next morning, he knew it would be a day of explanation. He and Naruto fled the scene after checking up on Jennifer, holing themselve's in their room's for the entire night. He sighed as he pulled his school outfit over his bare chest, looking out the window at the sun. As Sasuke was pulling on his shoe's, a slight knock was heard at his door.

"Geez Naruto, can I get dressed?" Sasuke asked as he pulled his bedroom door open, but it was not Naruto. It was the girl that Sasuke had rescued from the forest, looking up at him with her beautiful maroon colored eye's.

"Uh... are you the one who rescued me?" the girl asked, Sasuke not knowing what to say for the moment, due to the girl was naked. Sasuke frantically turned away, taking one of his shirt's with the Uchiha insignia on it's back from his hamper, then pulling it over the nude girl's body.

"Hey, you shouldn't be walking around like that, it's not lady like," Sasuke reprimanded, still slightly embarassed. "And yes, I'm Sasuke Uchiha. Do you know your name?"

"No, but it sound's like something I'd like," the girl answered as she strolled into Sasuke's room, taking a seat on his bed. "Can I be called Sasuke like you?"

"No, that would be silly," Sasuke responded as he tied his hanging lace's on his shoe's. "But I guess I could pick a name for you or something... even though I'm not good at this type of thing."

"Don't worry, I know I'll like it," the girl answered as she hung off the edge of the bed, swinging her leg's back and forth. "Especially if it came from you, Sasuke." Something about what the girl said reminded the Uchiha of Sakura, who he had finally accepted as his girlfriend after ducking her for so long when he was in the village earlier. But he couldn't name her Sakura, Naruto would joke too much about that. Well, he named the girl he found Hikari so...

"How about Akari?" Sasuke asked, the girl looking up with a delighted smile.

"I'm... Akari?" she asked as Sasuke nodded, smiling as the girl jumped up and down on Sasuke's bed. "I'm... Akari!"

"Hey Sasuke, you ready to go yet?" Naruto shouted as he busted into Sasuke's room. "Oh... didn't know you had company Teme! Well, is this the other girl you were telling me about?"

"Hello, my name is Akari," Akari introduced herself, climbing on Sasuke's shoulder's.

"Akari, sound's suspiciously just like another girl that live's in this house," Naruto remarked, giving Sasuke a sly grin. "Look who's a little jealous of my find! Well if your name's Akari, what's your last name?"

"Um... well if I was named by you, shouldn't it be Uchiha?" Akari asked Sasuke, who hesitated at the moment. The old him would have laughed at the idea, shunned it almost instantly.

"Yes, you're an Uchiha, as I am," Sasuke answered, Naruto looking back at Sasuke with sheer shock, but it changed to a small smile almost instantly. "Be strong and courageous, than you shall live up to your Uchiha name." Akari nodded, as Hikari passed the room, looking in on Naruto as she did. But this Hikari was different from the normal one, she carried with her a secret sinister smile...

As Naruto came home that night after an exhausting day of school, he found Hikari sitting on the roof, looking out at the dying sun with a bright smile on her face. He suddenly had a flashback to the day he found the ninja with his chest blown out, the wonder that still surrounded that incident.

"Hikari, could you be a monster?" Naruto whispered as he looked at the girl, her long red hair blowing in the wind.

"Naruto, you've returned home!" Hikari cheered as she leapt from the roof, landing on her feet, which shocked the shinobi as well. She wrapped him in a hug, Naruto unable to return the hug at the moment. "What's wrong, is something wrong?"

"Hikari... do you...?" Naruto began, but was interrupted by the sound of a beast roaring in the distance. "What the hell was that? Hikari, stay here while I go check it out." Hikari nodded, as Naruto took off toward where the sound was heard. As he did, a giant beast creature was hovering above the forest, looking toward Takeru's house, where Hikari was located.

"Is this thing after Hikari?" Naruto wondered as he watched it for the moment, wondering when it would make it's move. As the creature swung a wing at Naruto, he allowed himself to be pummeled by the beast, using Kawarimi no Jutsu to escape damage. As he did this, he body flickered above the beast, with two clone's gathering two Rasengan's in his palm's as he floated down toward the beast. The beast let out a loud roar, the sheer force of the shout enough to repel the incoming Naruto. Naruto looked up as the beast tried to land on him, Naruto doing a barrel roll to avoid it. As he finished, he began to send several shuriken and paper bomb's at the beast, who roared as it used it's wing to deflect most of them. As Naruto distracted the beast, behind the beast, the real Naruto had gathered enough chakra for his True Wind Style: Rasen-Shuriken. With the eye's of the Sage, Naruto threw the Rasen-Shuriken at the unsuspecting beast, who was... unaffected. Naruto gasped, as the beast roared in his clone's face, causing it to disperse. Naruto gasped as the creature turned around, sending some type of energy attack from it's mouth at him, half the forest in a white glow as the blast enveloped Naruto's body.

Meanwhile, Sasuke was explaining what was going on to Mari, Ro, and Takeru, who still seemed quite confused.

"Well, all I get is that Jennifer is some type of super scientist, and you guy's are some super ninja," Takeru answered as Sasuke sighed.

"Sure whatever, but..." Sasuke began, but was able to sense the chakra of Sage Mode from his location. "Naruto's using Sage Mode? Something is very wrong if he went to that level to fight... Mari, please look after Akari!" Sasuke took off, leaving Akari with Takeru and the other's.

"Ow, I'm going to feel that later..." Naruto moaned as he pulled himself up from the dirt, rubbing the back of his head. "What is that thing, and why can't I pierce it? Wait, where's Hikari?" Naruto scrambled to his feet, taking off in the direction he last seen the creature headed. As he ran, he spotted the creature hovering above someone, about to attack someone. It was Hikari, who was bent down looking up at the creature in fear.

"Hikari!" Naruto roared as he raced to get there, the creature gathering the same attack he used on Naruto not too long ago. As the creature unleashed it, Hikari was picked up out the way, the attack being met with an arrow made of chakra, which caused it to explode.

"Hey Dobe, looked like you could use some help," Sasuke shouted out as he stood with his Eternal Mangekyo activated, using his Susanoo. "Let's not play any game's, I'd rather not use up all my chakra."

"Let's do this Teme!" Naruto roared as he unleashed Sage Mode, standing beside his best friend to protect Hikari.
