Title: A Fox Among Wolves

1. Prologue

Loneliness. Naruto's heart clenched as he remembered everyone that he has learned to love in Konoha, as well as the few friends he ever had in the entire Elemental Countries. Ever since becoming an immortal hanyou after battling Uchiha Madara 200 years ago during the Fourth Great Shinobi War, he is cursed to see all those he come to love wither and die of old age. Love and friends come and go as time continues to take hold on their bodies. Again, his heart clenched as he looked down at Konoha from his perch on top of the Fourth's head.

"Your heart is reaching out again kit. Are you alright?"

Naruto turned to his companion, a bright red fox with nine tails sprawled out behind her. Kyuubi was released during his battle with Uchiha Madara when he unknowingly absorbed all of her youki through the seal in a blind fit of rage. It didn't hurt Kyuubi at all but it had the drawback of releasing her out of her jail with only a tail of power. It took a decade for her to recover her strength and has always been there for him during their self-imposed sojourn across the Elemental Countries.

Deciding to answer her. "I'm doing well Kyuu-chan." Seeing the skeptical look from his companion, he chose to elaborate. "I mean I'm doing ok despite the constant bout of loneliness. Everyday I stand here as an unseen guardian; looking down the people of Konoha and protecting them from outside threats. I see my friends start their own families, show love to their mates, play around with their children, grow old, and eventually die. We are the only two true immortal in this world Kyuu-chan; I have no one to call my mate since they just grow old and die. I have to accept this curse of mine but there is nothing I can do when I get lonely." He finished with a sad smile.

Kyuubi nodded her acceptance and looked back down the traffic that is Konoha. Ever since she was released from her jailor, she has come to see Naruto as a companion. Being a demon lord and the strongest of the Bijuu, she has never come to grips with having emotions. All she had ever experienced through her years of existence were rage, hate, and anger – all these stem from the darkness in the humans that surrounds her. However, traveling with Naruto for the past 200 years has showed her that her life doesn't have to revolve around destruction. She has come to respect her hanyou companion; she doesn't see him as beneath her ever since he absorbed all her youki during his rampage making him her equal in power.

She again stole a glance at her companion and couldn't help but admire the changes that happened after the integration of her youki. The once innocent looking face is now chiseled giving him a more mature look. The sudden influx of her youki through his system washed away the years of malnutrition that he suffered during his early years as a pariah of Konoha. He grew to an amazing 6 feet in height, well-toned body; muscles that give way to a runner's physique to compliments his skills in both speed and agility. He doesn't look a day older than 18 due to his hanyou transformation. Despite all his changes, she can never understand why he needs to hide his foxy appendages under a genjutsu even when they're all alone.

Being immortals didn't give them much of a choice when it comes to taking up residence in Konoha. Despite being known as the Savior of the Elemental Countries, telling them of his hanyou transformation will only bring out the worst in humans – fear of a being that is more powerful that any of the shinobi world can ever hope to compare.

While his furry companion is deep in thought on the changes that happened in their lives, Naruto is traveling down memory lane as he kept his constant vigil of his home. After Kyuubi explained to him what happened after the battle, it took him years to accept the changes, denying the fact that he is no longer classified as a human being and that he will still be alive when everyone he knows is dead. He finally accepted everything when the last of his friends died and took the life of a sage.

He traveled across the Elemental Nation, staying in each country under a henge and learning everything he could to utilize his limitless powers. His first stop was Wind Country to learn everything he could about Fuuton (Wind) considering that Wind is his primary element. After learning everything he could, he moved on to Lightning Country to learn Raiton (Lightning), Water Country for Suiton (Water), and finally to Earth Country for Doton (Earth). It took him roughly 70 years of constant learning and travel to master them.

Out of boredom, Naruto and Kyuubi went back to Konoha to find more possibilities of gaining more knowledge. Considering that Konoha has been known to produce Seal Masters, like the Yondaime Hokage and Jaraiya; both he and Kyuubi snuck into the Hokage Tower to visit the Hokage's library that holds all the knowledge of Konoha. He made a copy of every scroll, including the Forbidden Scroll of Sealing with a nifty trick he learned during his travels. With everything sealed away in a large scroll slung on his back, the companions snuck back out the Hokage tower and out of the city.

Naruto skills in Fuuinjustu (Seals) grew in leaps and bounds. Being the son of a Seal Master, the art is practically in his genes so learning seals only took him 20 years, and another 20 years to master the Katon (Fire) Justus that he also stole from the Hokage Archive.

Snapping out of his thoughts, Naruto looked at Kyuubi while the fox was busy checking out the market district when a fight broke out between two merchants over their wares. He's been thinking about the possibilities of other worlds and possibly do something to escape his loneliness and eventually find himself another immortal as a mate. After all, if you are fated to live forever then it would only stand to reason to find someone with the same curse to spend the rest of your life with.

"Kyuu-chan?" he addressed the fox to get her attention. "Have you ever thought of the possibilities of other worlds out there that we can visit?"

Kyuubi, snapped out of her silent cheering of the fight below, snapped her head to her companion in surprise. "What do you mean 'possibilities'? There ARE other worlds kit. There are thousands of them out there. I thought you knew that" she deadpanned.

Looking at her as if she was crazy, Naruto's mind is swamped with possibilities of visiting these worlds and maybe find one to call his home. "Why in the world didn't you tell me this before?" he shouted in frustration.

Giving him his full attention, Kyuubi sat on her haunches, looked at him straight in the eye, and said "You never asked."

Giving her a frustrated look, he chose not to rise to the bait and continued his interrogation "Well?"

With a stint of mischievousness from being a fox, she cocked her head to her side "What?"

"Well, is there a way to visit these worlds?" he growled wanting to throttle the fox in leaving him in the dark.

Kyuubi looked at his companion straight in the eye, weighing his conviction and trying to find some doubt in his statements. Seeing nothing but cold determination that practically pushed his loneliness out of his system; she took a moment to frame her reply. "Yes, there is a way but it is quite risky." She looked at the people below; she continued "Naruto, you have to understand that these worlds are separate from our own. Each world has its own gate, and each gate is guarded by a keeper. These gatekeepers are not as strong as us but the protections on these gates are very strong, it would take both of our powers combined to open one. Kami herself set the protection on these gates and any attempt to breach them will surely exhaust both of our powers and leave us vulnerable for years until we recuperate."

Not deterred by the complications, Naruto's brash nature could help but grin at the idea of going into a new world and staring a new life. With a twinkle in his eyes, he scooped Kyuubi up much to her chagrin and danced around while shouting "Let's go!" over and over again.

Getting dizzy from being twirled around, Kyuubi whacked Naruto on the head with one of her youki-enfored tail earning a yelp of pain from her boisterous companion and freeing her from his hold. "Control yourself kit" she growled. "Didn't you hear what I said? I told you that going through these gates would eat up all our youki and leave us defenseless when we get there. We have nothing to fall back on except our physical enhancements! The risk is too great to even contemplate."

After rubbing his sore head and hearing everything Kyuubi said, Naruto looked up at the sky. He might be brash but he always thinks things through. The possibility of starting a new life in another world is definitely something to look forward to, but knowing that both he and Kyuubi would be defenseless for a few years as they slow recuperate their reserves requires serious thought. What if they landed in the middle of a battlefield, they would be annihilated on the spot. They might be immortal but they can still be killed if dealt with a deathblow. Also, he has to consider that they would be starting over in a new world that they know nothing about. There are quite a lot of factors to plan just make sure that they don't suffer serious problems when they get there and start a new life.

But despite the drawback, starting a new life in a new world is just too good to pass up. This requires serious planning. And he has all the time in the world to come up with a good one. Feeling something that he hasn't felt in years, he scooped Kyuubi up and shunshined back to his cave in the mountains in a burst of purple flames to plan the journey ahead of them.
