Well. This is my first contribution to this forum. I have seen many Fics with this theme in other places, and I love both series so I decided to start my own version in Spanish. It is not original, but I hope you enjoy it. Clarifications: This Fic is set at different times in each series. In the Naruto universe, The Fourth Ninja War ended the moment Naruto and Sasuke defeated Madara with the help and sacrifice of Obito. The villages now maintain a momentary peace as they recover from the conflict against Akatsuki, and Naruto returned to his Shinobi life, happy to have his friend back, and with a future that promises to sit in the Hokage's room. In the Equestria universe, Princess Twilight Sparkle continues her studies in her library in Ponyville after her adventure into the human world through the magical mirror of Star Swirl the Bearded. Now she continues her studies about Magic and together with her friends they fill her Diary with their discoveries about friendship. Chapter 1: Small complications Celestia, ruler of Equestria, was in her room while thinking of a letter with the report her faithful student had written about her trip to the other world through the mirror. It seemed incredible that she had been in a parallel world and used the Elements of Harmony even with the parallel versions of her friends. Her little student had surpassed her. After a few minutes of musing, he decided that the new princess was ready to resume his studies at Starswirl the Bearded. She walked to the library with a firm step and hoping he was doing the right thing. Twilight Sparkle was in the Ponyville library while rereading “The Dark History of Unicorns” for the fifth time, Spike was lying in his basket when suddenly from a burp he spat a scroll with the royal seal. “A letter from the Princess?” She wondered as she levitated toward her with magic, "go back to sleep, Spike" “After what happened the last time the princess sent you a letter? If I remember, you caused all the ponies to end with their Cutie Marks exchanged” “That was a mistake, and you know I don’t like sarcasm, Spike” She replied annoyed as she opened the letter. My faithful student: You have come a long way in your studies on the Magic of Friendship, and your skills in living your adventure with mirrors impressed me. Now I think it is the right time to continue your more advanced studies, this is a level that only Star Swirl The Bearded reached, so I am confident that you can overcome it. The following is an advanced teleportation spell. It is derived from the magic of dragons, so it will take a lot of practice. This spell will allow you to instantly transport any object to any area regardless of distance, space or shipping time, making it very useful for transmitting messages and equipment. The following scrolls contain all the necessary details. Love Princess celestia The alicorn and the little dragon looked at each other and a happy smile appeared on Twilight’s face. “Spike ... Do you know what this means?” “Hum...” “The Princess trusts me enough to start me in a study at the level of Star Swirl The Bearded!" She shouted euphorically as she took it with her magic and spun it while she jumped, "Now I am going to start investigating magic from its origins and to propose my own theories!” “Good for you Twilight. But I would take care, if I were you. Do you remember what happened the last time you tried new spells?” “You already told me that, Spike. But don’t worry, tomorrow morning I will study every aspect of these scrolls and take care of doing it in a controlled environment. Now, to sleep, tomorrow is a great day!” Twilight’s happiness filled her. She lay back on the bed and fell asleep thinking of herself in a Starswirld-like outfit and teaching a group of Unicorns who curiously resembled Trixie. It seemed that things were going to go well from then on and nothing could go wrong. Konoha: two months after Fourth Shinobi World War. At the village, inside a modest shop called Ichiraku Ramen, a 16 years old, yellow haired and supernaturally gifted ninja was eating a enormous noodle with pork bowl. He was resting after a long afternoon of training, he was practicing his Kyuubi mode, so he could keep transformed in his fox form more than fifteen minutes without disappear. His relation with Kurama was great. They were like brothers: they quarreled, they laughed and they talked naturally. Now, finally could relax and enjoy a good cup of Ramen or two, when… "Naruto…" said a tired voice behind him. When the young turned to see, he found a middle-aged, silver-haired man with a mask that hid all his face except his left eye. "Ah… Kakashi-sensei. What’s up?" "The Hokage, Tsunade-sama, has requested your presence tomorrow morning in her office" "Mmmhhh…- protested the boy. Lately granny Tsunade is bothering me a lot with those diplomatic missions. I cannot train properly!" "(Sigh) Naruto. You are the hero of the war and of Konoha. You are an example for all the ninjas in the world; it’s obvious you have to accomplish some duties on behalf of village’s future. Don’t you want to be Hokage? Sasuke is taking his duties seriously" "He cares to do these missions even less than I do!" "Maybe. But it’s possible that the one of you both that take more seriously those missions would be the more fit to be the next Hokage" "OK. I’ll go tomorrow" Said Naruto before such words. "Glad to hear it!" Answered Kakashi with a happy but hid smile while going out Ichiraku, “Oh my God! I sincerely hope that this knucklehead changes his attitude when he becomes Hokage” "Old Ichiraku!" He heard from inside the shop, “Another bowl of ramen with double pork! I’ll have a very long day with granny Tsunade!” “In progress!” “Although it’s possible he doesn’t change at all; I hope Shikamaru will still be here.” "All right! It’s time! Let’s see what these parchments say!" Warning! Perform this spell in open places and, if possible, in high places for not committing transfer or teleport errors. "Well… in this case, we should try this spell on top of Rarity’s boutique. Let’s go, Spike!" Both friends went to Carousel Boutique where Rarity was making her last collection, Country Fashion, which she was thinking to give to Applejack and her family to their displeasing. It was not because the creations were ugly, but the brilliant colours and brown boots made them look like Manehattan stereotype of cowboys. Anyway, Rarity let Twilight and Spike to go up in the roof where they spread the parchments and began to read the correct formula of cast the spell. The view was perfect because the environs of Ponyville and Everfree Forest were visible. "Mmmhhh…” said Twilight with a worried tone “The spell itself don’t seem to be difficult to cast. The only problem is that the object you want to transport go to destination and go back”. "With what thing do you want to try it?” "Oh, Spike! There is no way I try to transport something at first try. What would happen if something gets wrong?” "I would say you try to fly instead of walk in the ground” Said a voice at her side. "Spike! I told you…” When she turned, she found herself face to face with a very smiley, light blue coated mare with rainbow-colored mane. "RAINBOW! What the Tartarus are you doing here?!" "I’m just passing by, looking at what you’re doing. And as far as I heard about that spell, it will be awesome. You have to try it!" "Rainbow Dash. There is no way I cast a spell without previous practice of every single step. Simply that is…" "Come on! I wanna see you transporting one of those Ponyville Apple Cider barrels to my home in Cloudsdale. Or teleport each tome of Daring Do from Manehattan Post Office directly to your library so I could read them before their release" "I don’t think the Princess sent me this spell to...” "Just cast it!" "Ok, fine” surrendered the alicorn while taking position, “But… what things would be it able to transport and where?" "I’m one step ahead of you…" Commented Spike while showing out an enormous book called “Encyclopedic Atlas of Equestria” "Spike! This is a very important book for the Library! What would happen if somepony foreign comes to Ponyville and…?" "You have three other copies of the same book; I have given them to you as presents for three years straight and you always kept them! What would we lose if only one of them gets lost?" "Agh! OK… let’s see…" First step: Place the object to transport with prudent distance away from transporter and/or companions… "Checked!" Second step: Visualize object’s destination place. I suppose this place near the Boutique is as good as any other to practice. "Checked!" Third step: Create a stream of magic around the object to transport or the effect would not be instantaneous, or there will not be teleportation to indicated place. "Well, here we go! Called out Twilight while her horn began to shine and a whirlwind of magic formed around the book" "It’s gonna be SO AWESOME!" Cried Rainbow Dash while observing the events, "I’m already looking myself reading the new volume of Daring Do in which she will fight against the alliance between Ahuizotl and the Poninjas of the Manehattan Marefia!" "Do A.K. Yearling send you teasers of her books?" Asked Spike. "Every now and then we write each other. But once I thought I saw her in the Everfree Forest with a pack of timberwolves behind her. I went there flying and…!" "RAINBOW!" Shouted an already tired Twilight while trying to keep the flow of magic constant. Though, by a strange coincidence the whirlwind didn’t appear in the little plot of grass near the Boutique as it should be but… Naruto was before Tsunade, the Hokage of Konohagakure no Sato. He was looking at the sky from the Hokage Office building while she was commenting him the details of the mission. "…and Killer B, Jinchuuriki of the Hachibi…” continued the young-looking lady, “…is trying to run for Raikage inciting an Enka-rap based revolution among the youngsters of Kumogakure. This has caused A, the current Raikage, to ask you, given you were his disciple and friend of his brother, to convince B to change his mind and avoid future complications. Between him and the Kazekage, rumours have begun about Jinchuurikis doing coups-d’état in their respective villages" "What!? You called me for this?! Do you know how much time takes to travel to the Land of Lightning? At this rate all my training will go through the toilet and I will not be able to perfect my…" "LISTEN TO ME WHEN I SPEAK TO YOU, BRAT!” Yelled Tsunade while taking him from the shirt, “You shall do what I command or I shall send you back to the Academy where you will practice genjutsu till your formation as ninja be complete!" Grumbling, Naruto pulled away from Tsunade’s clutches and went to the stairs. "OK; I’ll send ya a message with a falcon when I finish the mission and I be on my way back to the village, you crazy old lady" While walking, Naruto felt a little tugging in the neck. "It’s OK, granny! I will do your stupid mission! You don’t have to…! What?! WOWWOW!" Naruto was shocked when suddenly saw himself absorbed by a kind of whirlwind that threw him into a space in which he only was spinning. He heard far away the voice of Tsunade yelling his name. The kaleidoscopic/surreal/psychedelic tunnel made him stumble around till he finally stopped and felt he was flying. He looked downwards and realized that he really was in the air, with the village nowhere to be seen and a great forest that every second grew larger and closer… Chapter 2: A Ninja in EverfreeSomething has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.Chapter 3: Stripes and suspicionsAuthor's Note (I apologize in advance for the bad rhymes. I am not a poet. Even less in English) Chapter 3: Stripes and suspicions Twilight along with Spike had returned to the rendezvous point, obviously they had found no trace of the book and were frustrated. When she noticed that the afternoon was turning red and Celestia was starting to drop the sun, Twilight decided to end the search earlier. With none of the other ponies nearby, she began to inspect the remains of the Timberwolves. He hadn't done it before out of fear that somehow, they would revive again, but this time she didn't think it was dangerous since most of the day those branches were lying there, and they didn't move from their place. She tried to find some clue as to what thing could have done that to a group of predators that might be a problem for them, although she really didn't expect to find anything. That's why she was surprised when she discovered a small object that as soon as she saw it, she knew it was not part of the animal: a four-pointed piece of metal in the shape of a star. The alicorn didn't really know what they were, but she had the impression she had seen them before. She continued the search and found several more nailed to different parts of the previously animated bodies. When she finished picking up the sixth when Rarity appeared, her steps were elegant and really clean, so it seemed that she carried out the search "clean and orderly". Then Applejack appeared, covered in mud and leaves contrary to Rarity. In a few minutes Fluttershy arrived at a slow pace and trembling from head to toe as she looked nervously everywhere, Pinkie Pie, with her leaping step and her happy gaze, and Rainbow came flying and landed on the ground, none showed any signs of success. "Did anypony had luck?" "Nah-ah," Rainbow replied with boredom, "It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Can't we just give up on that book?" "I'm not going to give up on a book! But still ... I found something more mysterious" she said as she showed them with her magic the six clues she found. Each pony looked at them closely and even Rainbow was interested. "What are those things?" - Applejack asked 'I have no idea. I found them stuck in the Timberwolfes, and they can't be part of them because these things are metal " "They are shurikens!" Dash jumped in enthusiastically and grabbing a "I read about them in some comics. They are great!" "And ... what are they for?" Rarity asked without understanding. "For this...!" - screamed the pegasus as he threw it with his hoof against a tree. She was not used to throwing them so the shot went backwards and cut some of Pinkie's hair before digging into a tree opposite the one she was trying to launch. "Mmh... well at least get the idea." "This is not a toy, Rainbow," Twilight reproached, tearing the star off the tree. "This is a weapon! And whoever has faced the Timberwolfes used them to defeat them." "So is there some sort of shurikens-throwing pony around here?" Spike asked as he looked everywhere. "Whatever it is. Something strange is happening. First my book disappears even though we saw it appear through the portal that I opened here somewhere. And now we find someone or something that uses strange weapons to defeat Timberwolfes in the forest?” "I thought it was good that those Timberwolfes were dead," Fluttershy said in her soft voice. "I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I just find it strange that of all the places where there are Timberwolfes, we find these three here, with these weapons that I don't think any normal pony would use." Pinkie picked up one of the Shurikens and threw it, with such a prodigy that she pierced a falling leaf, cutting it in the middle and nailing it to a tree behind just in the middle of the trunk. "I would use them!" she said cheerfully as everyone looked at her stunned "Anyway, we couldn't find the book" - Applejack intervened somewhat tired- "It's getting dark and I really don't want to stay looking for some prodigious guy with these weird things beyond Pinkie." "Yes ... I guess you're right," Twilight gave up. "I will have to write to the princess about this new spell having certain side effects. Spike ... do you think you can write her a ...? "- She saw how he yawned and settled on her back with a sleepy face-" Oh Spike ... I think we will have to leave that report for tomorrow " The ponies all laughed as they headed out of the woods back home. Meanwhile, in a hut in the middle of the forest Naruto slowly opened his eyes and the first thing he felt was that his head hurt a little, as well as his right arm. He saw the wound and discovered that it was bandaged and that his vest had been removed to leave it on a coat rack near the bed where he was. Then he realized that he was inside what looked like a small house carved out of a huge tree. He was lying on a soft bed and surrounded by what appeared to be potions and ointments. In the center of the house was a bubbling cauldron, and the walls were decorated with the same masks that he remembered seeing outside. "Ah, I see that my strange visitor has woken up, I am glad to see that you are now healed up! - said a deep voice in a corner of the house" When Naruto paid attention he distinguished a creature similar to a mare but with black stripes, rings on the neck and ear along with a firm mane. "AAhhh ... A talking striped horse?" Naruto asked a little confused but not surprised since it was not unusual for him to see animals that speak "I see that you can speak ..." - The wise one replied with a serious look at the comment- "but good manners for you are difficult to reach. I am a zebra, in case you don't know, my name is Zecora and thanks to me you can stand up now on your own " "That is better. Now, who are you and where do you come from, could I ask?" She said with a smile "I am Naruto Uzumaki, and I come from the Village of Konoha" - He answered pointing to the symbol in his bandana. "Konoha, you say? I've never heard that name. And I've never seen any of your kind before, do you come from a land I don't know?" "Have you never seen a human before?" "Brat, I told you that we are not in the Country of Fire. Better ask him where we are before asking where we are going" "Ah, right! - He said to himself in front of the zebra's confused look-" Could you tell me where I am? " "Don't you know where you are? I feel more and more curious about your story behind. But since you ask me, I will tell, that you are in the Everfree Forest, in the land of Equestria, does that ring any bells?" “No...”- And he felt the denial of his partner inside him- We don't know where we are or where we should go. "We" you say. Are you coming with someone else? "It is ... difficult to explain." He hastened to say, trying to change the subject. He did not consider it prudent to talk about Kurama with everyone- “Anyway. Thank you for helping me to heal my wounds.” The zebra was smart, and was curious to learn more about its strange visitor. But she understood that it would be unwise to ask too much, so she changed the subject by approaching the bed. "You were lucky, deadly is the hydra poison, but you are also a strong creature, and I was able to suppress it with my own ointment" "Do you always have to speak in rhyme, stripes?" The boy asked with obvious irritation. “It is in my nature; it is something that I am. But speaking normally like you. If I want to, I can. But what is this?” -She exclaimed when he removed the bandages- “The wound is gone. Just a few hours of rest and you healed on your own?” "Yes... well...” - He said with a humble smile and scratching the back of his head - I usually heal myself pretty quickly. Do you think there is someone who can help me go home?" "I know someone who can help you. Although she is quite far away. Princess Celestia is the governor of Equestria, she could help you get on your way." "And where do I find her?" “Far away, in the city of Canterlot she is. Her student, Twilight Sparkle, nearby she lives. And I could help you meet her, if you want” “Hey, that doesn't rhyme!” “As I said, normally, I can speak. The town of Ponyville outside the forest is where you and Celestia's student meet” “Ok!” - He exclaimed jumping out of bed and taking his vest- “Come on!” The zebra looked him up and down and then looked out, it was already night. He looked back at her and shook his head. “Cautious I don't think it is. The forest is dangerous at night, and you will make a bad impression if you suddenly appear. Wait until morning, get a rest, and you will tell Twilight everything, to solve this mess” “But I'm not tired!” The boy protested "Naruto ..." - His inner companion told him- "You are not tired but I am. The venom of that snake quickly weakened you and I had to give you my chakra to stay alive. Maybe you recovered your strength, but I spent a lot of energy keeping your heart beating. Also, would you prefer to arrive at night to a town full of horses as if you were a ghost and knock door to door asking for a particular mare? More discreet would be to arrive in Kiuby mode to greet them myself " "I see ..." Naruto wailed while opening his eyes, he had closed them momentarily to speak to his Bijuu- I guess there is no other choice but to stay for tonight. "Were you talking to yourself again? It's disturbing. Is there something strange that your mind makes messy?" "No. This is how he is." - Kurama said to the zebra with his telepathy, her eyes turned wide. “For Equestria! Who spoke to me right now? Is it you who confides my mind?” “It's not a joke, Zebra. And it is not your imagination. My name is Kurama, and maybe we can talk since you saved both my life and my human pet” “Hey!” The following hours were spent chatting between the three of them, they told their story to the zebra, and the zebra in turn heard more than she spoke. At one point Naruto began to feel hungry, so Zecora gave him a couple of apples and roots that he had stored, Naruto gladly ate the first ones, but with the second he had to try a little to swallow them. When it was late at night, Naruto decided to sleep on the floor by the fire while Zecora recovered her bed, which she thanked them both very much. At Canterlot Castle Luna, princess of the night, watched her work with pride as she watched her subjects go to sleep and was saddened to see so few who admired her night. As was her custom, she spread her wings and drifted into the night breeze as her horn shone with her active magic and her eyes sparkled as she watched the dreams of her different friends. She did not enter directly into her dreams, but she ensured that it was not nightmares that clouded her rest. However, tonight there was something that disturbed her. As she got closer to Ponyville, a strange presence became more apparent to her. But instead of sleeping, during the night his strength increased and his spirits rose. She couldn't know what it was, but it was there. An unknown force that did not speak to her with a dream of his own, but felt it as an echo among the voices of his subjects. She approached to investigate, but every time she tried to find it the echo disappeared, as if it somehow sensed her presence and hid it from her view. Frustrated by such a failure, she returned to Canterlot where her bedroom awaited her, where she could relax a bit before returning to her daily duty. Great was her surprise when she found her sister waiting for her with a serious and worried look instead of that benevolent smile with which she generally associated her. "Sister, what are you doing awake at this time?" "The same as you, Luna. I think about strange events" "What? So ... did you feel it too?" "I only got to sleep for a moment when I was awakened by a strange vision. In it, I saw a creature of unmatched strength demonstrating its enormous power. I could not see its shape, but its energy was very powerful, it did not seem like magic. Although I did not see evil in him, I felt great fury and anger that emanated when I tried to get closer " "I don't know what to think" - Luna answered while looking at the night sky- "I felt a strange sensation of euphoria, of joy, of freedom as I approached Ponyville. Although I thought it was a dream of one of my subjects, later I I realized that whatever it was, he was happy about my nights, he was not asleep at all, but he kept awake and grew as the night progressed " "Good heavens! This is something that we must solve" -concluded the princess of the sun as she returned inside and headed towards the doors- "I don't know what it is that arrived in Equestria or because. But if we don't find this creature soon, and we find out what that wants, it could pose a great threat. Tomorrow I will go to visit Twilight Sparkle and see if she noticed anything too. If this force is as great as in my vision. The Elements of Harmony may need to be used again" "I'll go with you" "No!" -She said firmly- "I need you watching from here, if you see something that escapes our view. You will be the only one who can warn me while I'm away" "As you wish, sister" - Luna answered with evident annoyance. Seeing this, Celestia reached out and put a hoof on her shoulder "Do not feel bad, sister. If something, whatever it is, appears. I will notify you and will make you come immediately if we need you" "Very ... well ..." - Luna said as she returned to her night sky and took flight again. This time Luna didn't hear anything like the echo, but there was something about him that seemed to please her. In many years he had not felt something similar, it made her feel as if her night was special. There really was something that enjoyed its darkness. Deep in the Everfree Forest, Naruto and Zecora fell asleep while inside Naruto, Kurama smiled at their finding. "I see ..." - He thought with a certain emotion and a slightly mischievous smile- "There are beings in this world capable of feeling me despite being inside a Jinchuriki. It seems that they were alerted when they noticed that I recover at night, and be whoever they are are powerful, and ... nice ... This strange land may be quite interesting" At the same time that all these events were taking place in Equestria, dark forces were also moving along the borders. Far to the south, in a kingdom already destroyed and forgotten, a creature of great wickedness and voracious appetite met the formerly a great dictator. "So ..." - The queen said as her subjects looked at her guest with some respect, even fear- "Knowing that the princesses do not know about you or your ... return. Are you proposing to me, an alliance?" "Before it could be said that we were kings among mortals. Now look at us: Miserable and barely remembered as a bad dream. We must show these ponies who we are, and make them fear fear of darkness once again" "And what would you give me in exchange for our help?" "What price would be fair?" "Twilight Sparkle, along with her friends, between our fangs. Along with Canterlot and most of Equestria. My subjects need to feed." "Done. In return ... you will help me once again conquer what my Empire was, and you will leave that little pet princess rat for me" "You have my word" "So, that's how a pact is formed. A King with a Queen" From inside the infested castle the laughter of the two new allies began to sound. Eager to carry out their plan, knowing that this time they will succeed. The next morning. Two hours after sunrise "Good Morning!" Naruto shouted, startling the Zebra and making her fall from the bed. "Time to go for that princess, Dattebayo!" “I admire your decision” - Zecora answered as she got up annoyed and headed towards a lot of layers, “But I'm afraid that if you enter the town like this you will cause a commotion. You will wear an outfit similar to mine, so even if you attract attention you can keep a low profile " He threw at him a brown cape that was in good condition and incredibly fit despite the boy's size. “Uhmm ... Ok” -he said while putting on his clothes. The cloak included a hood, but the boy did not put it on They left the hut and walked through the forest without saying a word to each other until they spotted the town. Naruto felt like he was in some kind of dream country. He was used to seeing strange towns dedicated to the perfection of his military might, or gambling cities where there was hustle and bustle. However, he found a small village of humble houses, where different ponies of different colors were in charge of living their lives peacefully. He swallowed when he saw such a large number of equines come and go, and was more surprised to see as many strange beings as unicorns and pegasi in the same place. Everyone talking and living their life quietly, this was not something he could see every day. "Not as you imagined, I see, but once you meet them, they are a great company. I will take you to Princess Twilight Sparkle's house, you will be able to tell your situation, and she will be able to ask Celestia about a solution" "Okay," he said, putting on his hood, which would hide most of his face, and would only be possible if he looked closely, "Let's find that princess then" Several kilometers away, Princess Celestia flew at high speed as she continued to think about her strange vision and what her sister had told the night before. Chapter 4: Various encounters of several typesSomething has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.Chapter 5: A night meetingIt was late afternoon, and Ponyville was going on with his usual routine, although this time there was a new guest. Naruto decided to let the ponies that were supposed to keep him under surveillance take him on a tour of the town that took them most of the day. It was a really curious experience, as he tried to get used to remembering places, names of ponies and the food of the place of which the apples were the closest thing he knew to the food of his world. At the same time, being the new inhabitant of that world strangely made him feel at home, the ponies looked at him with as much fear as the inhabitants of his village did a few years ago. Being as stubborn as he always was, it was difficult for him to remember the names of his companions, so it didn't take long to create some nicknames to remember them. Pinkie pie, Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle and Rarity became "crazy pink", "rainbow hair", "smarty", and "Curly", to the amusement and dislike of the above. Introducing the remaining two ponies was somewhat ... complicated. The four ponies (Spike stayed in the library, ordering the Twilight books) and Naruto went to Sweet Apple Acres so that the boy could meet Applejack, whose presentation was most normal. Incredibly, Applejack was not surprised to see him, give it that she was accostumed to see rare thinks happening in the town. "Applejack. I present to you Naruto Uzumaki, a visitor from a distant land. Naruto, I present to you Applejack, one of my best friends and one of the most honest ponies I know" - Twilight introduced them trying to praise them both. "Nice to meet you," Naruto said as he held out a hand. However, he was surprised by the fact that the pony was so strong that it completely shook him by waving his arm. "The pleasure is mine" -answered Applejack while shaking him- "Any friend of Twilight is also my friend" "Y .. yes ..." -Naruto tried to say as he finished receiving the greeting and ended up lying on the ground, he got up somewhat excited- "Whoo! Boy, do you have any strength" ("Reminds me of Centipede Brows") "Thanks, product of my hard work at Sweet Apple Acres. Want to see the plantation?" "Actually ..." - Naruto said thinking for a moment - "I would like to work here, it will be a good training if it makes me this strong" "Well ... I suppose there is no problem. Here we always accept the help of those who offer it. We will pay you of course" -answered the pony, doubting when she saw it- "But it is something hard, are you sure you can do it?" "I'm not going to lose anything trying ..." "Well, I'll wait for you here tomorrow morning then" - Applejack concluded with a smile- "I hope you don't regret it. Now, what will we do now?" - She asked the rest of the group who was surprised at how willing the boy was to work. "I was hoping that we can introduce Naruto to all the ponies and then ..." "Then throw him a welcome party!" Pinkie interrupted her with her inexhaustible energy. "Yes ... that" - Twilight finished- "We should go see Fluttershy before we go through the treehouse. That's where Naruto is going to stay." "Ok let's go" The six of them drove all the way to an area far from Ponyville that was getting a little closer to the Everfree Forest. In the middle of a small hill was a solitary house surrounded by birdhouses and windows. In a small tree with several nests was the yellow Pegasus singing with that sweet voice that everyone liked. Unfortunately, no pony told Naruto that with Fluttershy one had to be tactful. "Hey, good afternoon!" - He shouted as they approached, greeting friendly but with force- "My name is Naruto Uzumaki!" The pony turned around, saw that strange creature approaching her screaming and simply passed out from the scare, falling from the air. 'Hey? Did I say something wrong? "- Naruto wondered as the other ponies approached with concern and Rainbow slapped her face. "Hey, Fluttershy, wake up!" - Twilight ordered as he patted her face a little and everyone surrounded her. Little by little Fluttershy regained consciousness "Eh ... what happened?" - She regained his sight- "Twilight? Girls? Why did I pass out?" "Sorry I scared you, my name is ...!" - Naruto said sticking his head in the circle. Immediately after, Fluttershy passed out again and Rainbow, annoyed, pushed the confused Naruto away while saying. "It is better that we introduce you to her ... we could be doing this all day" To sum it up, they had to revive it one more time and then they were introduced not without some fear from the pony. Naruto liked her, she reminded him of Hinata, a shy one who for strange reasons passed out from time to time. After that, they went to Twilight's house where they gave her the so-called "welcome party" that Pinkie offered to all the strangers that came to Ponyville. There, Naruto was able to eat some sweets and relax, which he did not do very often. They sat down and started chatting about each other's activities, Naruto listened attentively although he sometimes got lost in the chat. "And what is your occupation?" - Applejack asked the boy after telling him about his work at Sweet Apple Acres. "Occupation?" "Yes. Everyone here has something we specialize in, and it is from that ability that we work in our different areas. "Hence our Cutie Marks" - added Rainbow proudly showing the mark on her flank- "So, what do you do in your world?" "Ah! Well ... we have no marks on the butt" - Pinkie laughed at this comparison- "But I am a ninja in my Village" "REALLY?!" - Rainbow and Twilight shouted at the same time for their different reasons. "Yeah, and I'm pretty strong too! I usually do missions for the village that range from protecting certain people to kicking bandits in the butt sometimes. "Awesome!" -Said the pegasus. "Although ... lately I haven't had many important missions since the last Ninja War" "War?" - Twilight asked for interest in everything she could know about the world of Naruto- "War between whom?" "Well ... among other ninjas, I suppose. Although the latter was very strange, we were fighting against revived dead and some species of white clones out of a tree." 'Living ... dead? "- Fluttershy repeated with some fear. The other ponies had a hard time believing what they heard even though Naruto was very serious. "Yeah. But the war is over and now there is peace, although old Tsunade is sending me on diplomatic missions so often that I can't train properly. Ah! That reminds me ... Can I ask you a question? Why don't they have ninjas or at least soldiers? " "Why should we have them?" Rarity asked. "Uh ... because you could be under attack?" - Naruto replied again- "And don't you live near a forest where there are wolves and giant snakes with many heads?" "We have no enemies requiring soldiers in this town, Naruto," -Twilight explained, understanding heis point- "The races in Equestria live in peace and we can deal with whatever comes from the forest. "Uh ... because you could be under attack?" - Naruto replied again- "And don't you live near a forest where there are wolves and giant snakes with many heads?" "We have no enemies requiring soldiers in this town, Naruto," Twilight explained, understanding his point. "The races in Equestria live in peace and we can deal with whatever comes from the forest. "And don't they have a Ninja Village or a city that protects them in case someone from outside attacks them? "More than once Equestria was in danger and many times Princess Luna and Princess Celestia saved the day. But beyond the Changelings we banished a while ago, lately there is nothing strong enough to be a threat to the country. I see... "Is that the way it is in your world, darling?" Rarity asked her while she took some punch. "Do they fight other kingdoms and go to wars? "Eh ... it is not something that happens very often. Although it is true that the ninjas trained in a village that is supposed to be the main military power in the country" - He replied vaguely remembering his lessons at the academy- "Every village has a leader we call "kage" who is the one who protects her and is generally the best ninja in the whole village! "- Explaining that, he stood up with his fists firmly." That's why when he returns to my village, I I will become Hokage! That is my dream!" The ponies were stunned by this statement. Naruto's world seemed very different from his, it was a world of fight and violence although it seemed to be something very precious for the boy. There was a certain confidence in Naruto that lifted their spirits, Twilight thought it would be their imagination, but really that human had something strange that he had not felt when he went to the other world through the Mirror. "Well ..." - Rainbow said trying not to be left behind- "We are not ninjas. But we have the Elements of Harmony." "The what?" They then explained to Naruto what the Elements of Harmony were and how each element helped them defend Equestria through the "Magic of Friendship". Each one explained to him what was his Element and they told him about how they defeated Nightmare Moon and Discord at the time. Once the explanation was finished, Pinkie proposed the game "pin the pony's tail", which made them resume the party and they continued until late at night when each pony went home and Naruto slept on the floor of the library, although grateful to have at least a roof and a fire provided by a baby dragon. Deep inside, Naruto missed his world and the Village, wondering what was going on now that he was gone. In Konoha, it had only been a couple of hours since Naruto had left and Kakashi Hatake along with Sakura Haruno and Sikamaru Nara were in the Hokage tower with this news and with a surprised look. "Naruto ... disappeared? ' Sakura exclaimed in disbelief. "That's right" -Tsunade replied- "We don't know who did it or why, but it seems that Naruto was kidnapped with a space-time technique. With Sasuke out of the Village and the relations between the countries finally coming to fruition we can't let this be known " "What a bummer" -Shikamaru complained scratching the back of his neck- "That Naruto always getting into trouble from which we have to get him out" "None. At first I thought that maybe the toads of Mount Myoboku had summoned him, but I immediately sent a message and they have no idea of his whereabouts" "And what can we do?" - Sakura said impatiently- "If Naruto disappeared, the Village will find out sooner or later" "And in the worst case," Shikamaru continued, showing his concern, "Some idiot could accuse some other village of causing this and they would respond angrily. That would lead to an answer and another war could break out for no reason." "I know" -Tsunade agreed- "That's why I need you to investigate this, Shikamaru" - Handing him the book- "Have all the cartography experts review this book and consult with ancient maps if there is any place called Equestria" "Agree" "And what do you want me to do, Tsunade-sama?" - Kakashi asked- "I'm not sure what I could do if there are no clues to Naruto's whereabouts" "I will need you to assemble a team. Kakashi. A team that includes large Chakra accumulators that I will include myself in" "Chakra Accumulators? Wait ... you won't think of ..." "There is no other alternative. I'm sure Naruto was sucked into a space-time technique and the only way to find it, if we don't find another way, is to use that technique ourselves. I need you to gather enough ninjas with resources to generate enough Chakra, and send us all with the Kamui " "It is something risky" -Kakashi answered touching the Sharingan of his left eye while he thought about the possibilities- "Sending many people with that technique could mean a journey of no return. And we would not know if we will reach the dimension where Naruto went or if will be there once we get there " "If we get to the dimension where it is, Naruto could use the Kiuby's energy to give you enough power to return. It's decided. You have a day to prepare everything, get going!" Princess Luna raised the moon a while ago although she was still thinking about what Celestia had said to her when she arrived in the afternoon of her trip to Ponyville. Flash Back: "Sister! What did you find out?" -Exclaimed the Night Princess when she saw her relative enter the balcony from where she usually raised the Moon. "It is fascinating, Luna. The creature we are looking for is not physically manifested, but I think it has something to do with a certain visitor in Ponyville." "Visitor?" "A young human named Naruto Uzumaki. It seems that by mistake he came into this world by accident and is now in the company of my student" "Twilight Sparkle? But tell me ... that being we feel, is it really dangerous?" "Dangerous, surely. But we do not know if it is a threat to Equestria, for the moment I know that that being appeared at the same time that the human appeared in this world. If the creature is the human or the human is the beast, I do not I know. But for now I think we're safe, the boy is something ... particular " "Did it make such a bad impression on you?" "It's not that, it's just that he's not someone ... ordinary. He is extravagant, and he really doesn't seem used to dealing with royalty or someone with higher authority" "Really ...? - Luna said with enough interest. "Now ... I must lower the sun, continue your daily routine, Luna. Tomorrow I will contact Discord and we will begin to investigate to see if we can return him to this world. But keep an eye on Ponyville, okay?" End of Flash Back "Of course I will," Luna said to herself with a look hungry for adventure and launched herself into the darkness of the Night as she projected her power observing Ponyville's dreams. Naruto slept, and Kurama felt the night awaken his strength like all Bijuu. Carefully he extended his influence outside and felt the same force he had felt the night before soaring through the skies. "It seems that is the so-called Princess Luna" - he said to himself as he sat down- "And he must be looking for my presence again. Very well, let's see if I can please her." He clapped his ... claws together, and formulated a seal as he ejected Chakra outside. Since Naruto suppressed his cage to give him freedom, it was easier for him to manifest himself, and with the brat's mind in a subconscious state, his actions would be without interruptions. What he was trying to do was not easy, since he did not have much practice and acted from inside a Jinchuriki, but it should be possible. He also did not like the idea since such a technique had taken his free will and made him attack Konoha against his will, but there was nothing to lose trying. If his theory was correct, the Night Princess dominated the night and reacted to his emotions, even if they were manifested with the simple meeting of the Chakra, so a Genjutsu, an illusory technique, should work to attract the princess. If she fell for his technique, he could come face to face with her without having to manifest outside the boy, which he couldn't do without awaking him. It was like creating an artificial dream, although the one who controlled it was Kurama himself Princess Luna was already flying near Ponyville while looking for signs of any suspicious activity, she suddenly felt a strange force. It seemed to be a dream like any other, but there was something ... strange about this particular one. She set her sights on the Twilight Sparkle treehouse and tried to enter that dream. Without knowing how, she entered a kind of dark chamber where the moon shone above her head, but there were no walls or trees in an infinite nothingness barely illuminated by the light of the satellite "Hello?" she called, and her voice echoed - "Is anyone here?" "A thousand pardons, princess" -Kurama's voice echoed around her, "I'm not used to letting others in here." "Who are you?" -She asked defiantly while looking everywhere looking for something "They call me Kyubi," Nine Tails, although it is not my real name. I am a Bijuu, a Tail Beast" "Show yourself!" "As you like..." Her surroundings suddenly altered and she was now in a stone room lit by torches but still with the moon and now a starry sky as a ceiling. In front of her Kurama materialized, but he did it in a size just a little bigger than Luna, so as not to scare her. The alicorn stepped back slightly upon seeing the demonic figure of the fox. He simply smiled at her reaction. "I usually give that impression. At least you don't see me at my full size, I'm actually much bigger." Luna, as a reflection, began to speak with the traditional royal canterlot voice "SO IT IS YOU, THE CREATURE THAT MY SISTER AND I HAVE BEEN FEELING, THE ONE THAT HAS A GREAT HATE INSIDE! WHAT BUSINESS DO YOU HAVE IN EQUESTRIA?" "Don't provoke me, Princess Luna! - He answered with a voice that seemed to be a roar- "I, THE MOST POWERFUL OF THE BIJUU, WILL NOT BE DISRESPECTED, EVEN BY ONE OF THE RULERS OF THE SKY!" At such a display of pride and power, Luna lowered her voice and looked at her opponent. He kept his gaze locked on her eyes, never giving up, never showing weakness. Finally the princess decided to lower her gaze, if she was really going to deal with that creature, better not to start on bad terms. He decided to change the topic of conversation to try to reduce the damage. Showing interest about your surroundings. It really seemed like a dream, but somehow she couldn't control it. "How can you do this? Only I have the power to control dreams" "This is not a dream" -Kurama said with a smile as he sat down and also lowered his voice- "It is a Genjutsu, an illusion, I created it specifically to attract you and to meet us face to face" "Did you ... want to meet me? "Of course. The Bijuu recover and show more power during the night, the fact that here someone specifically can create the night caught my attention" "Where exactly do you come from? What do you want? Where are you exactly?" "I come from the same world as Naruto. What do I want? I didn't think much about it. Seeing this world with my own eyes maybe would be something better than seeing them through a Jinchuriki. As for where I am, you could say that I am inside Naruto, I was sealed inside the boy when he was a baby. I have lived with him ever since. " "You don't seem to have bad intentions" - Luna said suspiciously- "Although it is not the first time that someone fools us" "I do not wish this world any harm, and I could not anyway. Naruto controls the seal that holds me inside, unless he lets me out, I cannot physically manifest beyond expelling Chakra" "Are you a prisoner then? And what is this Chakra you are talking about? Is it something like magic? "It may be similar, but it is not the same" -He said, ignoring the first question- "The Chakra is the vital energy of our bodies, the Bijuus like me are huge masses of living Chakra. Perhaps what you call magic is not is exactly the same as the chakra, but there are certainly huge masses of natural chakra in this world " "You really surprise me" -answered Luna as she sat on the floor- "You are wise, and powerful. You almost remind me of Star swirld." "Starswirld?" The bijuu and Luna started chatting for the rest of the night, they really came to understand each other. Kurama at one point feel comfortable enough to open himself and mentioned how he had his bad side and that hatred along with resentment ruled him for many years. Luna confessed at the same time that she also had her dark period, and decided to tell her about her time as Nightmare Moon and her exile for a thousand years on the moon. They were amazed at how much alike they were: They both had a moment of darkness in their hearts, they had both been exiled and imprisoned differently, one still was, and they were both saved by someone special who would later become their friend. Without realizing it, they began to forge a friendly relationship in the short time they spent together. When it was finally time to drop the moon, Kurama felt it and told the Princess. "I have to go, Kyubi" - Luna asked "Call me ... Kurama" - he replied while formulating the seals to release the technique- "Will we see each other again?" "Of course, just ... let's not resort to getting caught up in illusions next time" -she replied with a smile as the illusion disappeared and Luna appeared in the sky, floating on a cloud. "Until then ..." -said Kurama inside Naruto as he leaned back- "Mmhh ... it's ... attractive, for a pony. But... it's a bit of a screamer" It really was amazing, that world really was special. It seemed surprising to him because no one, except perhaps Naruto, had been able to understand him as that alicorn had done in such a short time. While flying, Moon thought the new friend she had done, and to some extent felt a strange happiness. It really was good to see someone who understood her and enjoyed her night. As Luna returned to Canterlot, Sombra wandered around Ponyville observing in the gloom and trying to unravel that mystery. Luna was distracted by something, and at the same time he had felt a force that he did not know where it came from or how strong it was. There was something else in that town that even the King himself knew he should watch out for. When he returned to his post in the Everfree Forest, he smiled with satisfaction to discover that the Changelings had captured their targets and were ready for the next step. They should wait with some time to be able to perfectly copy their ways, but the Forest would provide the necessary refuge to do so. As the two hostages squirmed and moaned trying to wriggle out, Shadow put them to sleep with their dark powers in a nightmare as he watched them in the moonlight. One was a small gray pegasus, blonde hair, slimy eyes, and a bubble cutie mark. The other was a mint-colored unicorn, cyan hair with a bit of white, yellow eyes like her companion, and her Cutie Mark was a lyre. "Two ponies, just as you asked for" -Chrysalis explained with satisfaction- "They don't attract much attention, and according to my drones, they go unnoticed among the rest of the town." "Excellent" -Sombra replied- "Just a little more time and we can continue with the plan. We will need some time for your Changelings to copy them perfectly, and I need to confirm something before continuing" "Something happened?" "It's just a hunch, but I think these ponies aren't alone in this town. There's something else out there ..." Chapter 6: Striped complicationsSomething has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.
Chapter 1: Small complicationsAuthor's Note Brohoof! Well. This is my first contribution to this forum. I have seen many Fics with this theme in other places, and I love both series so I decided to start my own version in Spanish. It is not original, but I hope you enjoy it. Clarifications: This Fic is set at different times in each series. In the Naruto universe, The Fourth Ninja War ended the moment Naruto and Sasuke defeated Madara with the help and sacrifice of Obito. The villages now maintain a momentary peace as they recover from the conflict against Akatsuki, and Naruto returned to his Shinobi life, happy to have his friend back, and with a future that promises to sit in the Hokage's room. In the Equestria universe, Princess Twilight Sparkle continues her studies in her library in Ponyville after her adventure into the human world through the magical mirror of Star Swirl the Bearded. Now she continues her studies about Magic and together with her friends they fill her Diary with their discoveries about friendship. Chapter 1: Small complications Celestia, ruler of Equestria, was in her room while thinking of a letter with the report her faithful student had written about her trip to the other world through the mirror. It seemed incredible that she had been in a parallel world and used the Elements of Harmony even with the parallel versions of her friends. Her little student had surpassed her. After a few minutes of musing, he decided that the new princess was ready to resume his studies at Starswirl the Bearded. She walked to the library with a firm step and hoping he was doing the right thing. Twilight Sparkle was in the Ponyville library while rereading “The Dark History of Unicorns” for the fifth time, Spike was lying in his basket when suddenly from a burp he spat a scroll with the royal seal. “A letter from the Princess?” She wondered as she levitated toward her with magic, "go back to sleep, Spike" “After what happened the last time the princess sent you a letter? If I remember, you caused all the ponies to end with their Cutie Marks exchanged” “That was a mistake, and you know I don’t like sarcasm, Spike” She replied annoyed as she opened the letter. My faithful student: You have come a long way in your studies on the Magic of Friendship, and your skills in living your adventure with mirrors impressed me. Now I think it is the right time to continue your more advanced studies, this is a level that only Star Swirl The Bearded reached, so I am confident that you can overcome it. The following is an advanced teleportation spell. It is derived from the magic of dragons, so it will take a lot of practice. This spell will allow you to instantly transport any object to any area regardless of distance, space or shipping time, making it very useful for transmitting messages and equipment. The following scrolls contain all the necessary details. Love Princess celestia The alicorn and the little dragon looked at each other and a happy smile appeared on Twilight’s face. “Spike ... Do you know what this means?” “Hum...” “The Princess trusts me enough to start me in a study at the level of Star Swirl The Bearded!" She shouted euphorically as she took it with her magic and spun it while she jumped, "Now I am going to start investigating magic from its origins and to propose my own theories!” “Good for you Twilight. But I would take care, if I were you. Do you remember what happened the last time you tried new spells?” “You already told me that, Spike. But don’t worry, tomorrow morning I will study every aspect of these scrolls and take care of doing it in a controlled environment. Now, to sleep, tomorrow is a great day!” Twilight’s happiness filled her. She lay back on the bed and fell asleep thinking of herself in a Starswirld-like outfit and teaching a group of Unicorns who curiously resembled Trixie. It seemed that things were going to go well from then on and nothing could go wrong. Konoha: two months after Fourth Shinobi World War. At the village, inside a modest shop called Ichiraku Ramen, a 16 years old, yellow haired and supernaturally gifted ninja was eating a enormous noodle with pork bowl. He was resting after a long afternoon of training, he was practicing his Kyuubi mode, so he could keep transformed in his fox form more than fifteen minutes without disappear. His relation with Kurama was great. They were like brothers: they quarreled, they laughed and they talked naturally. Now, finally could relax and enjoy a good cup of Ramen or two, when… "Naruto…" said a tired voice behind him. When the young turned to see, he found a middle-aged, silver-haired man with a mask that hid all his face except his left eye. "Ah… Kakashi-sensei. What’s up?" "The Hokage, Tsunade-sama, has requested your presence tomorrow morning in her office" "Mmmhhh…- protested the boy. Lately granny Tsunade is bothering me a lot with those diplomatic missions. I cannot train properly!" "(Sigh) Naruto. You are the hero of the war and of Konoha. You are an example for all the ninjas in the world; it’s obvious you have to accomplish some duties on behalf of village’s future. Don’t you want to be Hokage? Sasuke is taking his duties seriously" "He cares to do these missions even less than I do!" "Maybe. But it’s possible that the one of you both that take more seriously those missions would be the more fit to be the next Hokage" "OK. I’ll go tomorrow" Said Naruto before such words. "Glad to hear it!" Answered Kakashi with a happy but hid smile while going out Ichiraku, “Oh my God! I sincerely hope that this knucklehead changes his attitude when he becomes Hokage” "Old Ichiraku!" He heard from inside the shop, “Another bowl of ramen with double pork! I’ll have a very long day with granny Tsunade!” “In progress!” “Although it’s possible he doesn’t change at all; I hope Shikamaru will still be here.” "All right! It’s time! Let’s see what these parchments say!" Warning! Perform this spell in open places and, if possible, in high places for not committing transfer or teleport errors. "Well… in this case, we should try this spell on top of Rarity’s boutique. Let’s go, Spike!" Both friends went to Carousel Boutique where Rarity was making her last collection, Country Fashion, which she was thinking to give to Applejack and her family to their displeasing. It was not because the creations were ugly, but the brilliant colours and brown boots made them look like Manehattan stereotype of cowboys. Anyway, Rarity let Twilight and Spike to go up in the roof where they spread the parchments and began to read the correct formula of cast the spell. The view was perfect because the environs of Ponyville and Everfree Forest were visible. "Mmmhhh…” said Twilight with a worried tone “The spell itself don’t seem to be difficult to cast. The only problem is that the object you want to transport go to destination and go back”. "With what thing do you want to try it?” "Oh, Spike! There is no way I try to transport something at first try. What would happen if something gets wrong?” "I would say you try to fly instead of walk in the ground” Said a voice at her side. "Spike! I told you…” When she turned, she found herself face to face with a very smiley, light blue coated mare with rainbow-colored mane. "RAINBOW! What the Tartarus are you doing here?!" "I’m just passing by, looking at what you’re doing. And as far as I heard about that spell, it will be awesome. You have to try it!" "Rainbow Dash. There is no way I cast a spell without previous practice of every single step. Simply that is…" "Come on! I wanna see you transporting one of those Ponyville Apple Cider barrels to my home in Cloudsdale. Or teleport each tome of Daring Do from Manehattan Post Office directly to your library so I could read them before their release" "I don’t think the Princess sent me this spell to...” "Just cast it!" "Ok, fine” surrendered the alicorn while taking position, “But… what things would be it able to transport and where?" "I’m one step ahead of you…" Commented Spike while showing out an enormous book called “Encyclopedic Atlas of Equestria” "Spike! This is a very important book for the Library! What would happen if somepony foreign comes to Ponyville and…?" "You have three other copies of the same book; I have given them to you as presents for three years straight and you always kept them! What would we lose if only one of them gets lost?" "Agh! OK… let’s see…" First step: Place the object to transport with prudent distance away from transporter and/or companions… "Checked!" Second step: Visualize object’s destination place. I suppose this place near the Boutique is as good as any other to practice. "Checked!" Third step: Create a stream of magic around the object to transport or the effect would not be instantaneous, or there will not be teleportation to indicated place. "Well, here we go! Called out Twilight while her horn began to shine and a whirlwind of magic formed around the book" "It’s gonna be SO AWESOME!" Cried Rainbow Dash while observing the events, "I’m already looking myself reading the new volume of Daring Do in which she will fight against the alliance between Ahuizotl and the Poninjas of the Manehattan Marefia!" "Do A.K. Yearling send you teasers of her books?" Asked Spike. "Every now and then we write each other. But once I thought I saw her in the Everfree Forest with a pack of timberwolves behind her. I went there flying and…!" "RAINBOW!" Shouted an already tired Twilight while trying to keep the flow of magic constant. Though, by a strange coincidence the whirlwind didn’t appear in the little plot of grass near the Boutique as it should be but… Naruto was before Tsunade, the Hokage of Konohagakure no Sato. He was looking at the sky from the Hokage Office building while she was commenting him the details of the mission. "…and Killer B, Jinchuuriki of the Hachibi…” continued the young-looking lady, “…is trying to run for Raikage inciting an Enka-rap based revolution among the youngsters of Kumogakure. This has caused A, the current Raikage, to ask you, given you were his disciple and friend of his brother, to convince B to change his mind and avoid future complications. Between him and the Kazekage, rumours have begun about Jinchuurikis doing coups-d’état in their respective villages" "What!? You called me for this?! Do you know how much time takes to travel to the Land of Lightning? At this rate all my training will go through the toilet and I will not be able to perfect my…" "LISTEN TO ME WHEN I SPEAK TO YOU, BRAT!” Yelled Tsunade while taking him from the shirt, “You shall do what I command or I shall send you back to the Academy where you will practice genjutsu till your formation as ninja be complete!" Grumbling, Naruto pulled away from Tsunade’s clutches and went to the stairs. "OK; I’ll send ya a message with a falcon when I finish the mission and I be on my way back to the village, you crazy old lady" While walking, Naruto felt a little tugging in the neck. "It’s OK, granny! I will do your stupid mission! You don’t have to…! What?! WOWWOW!" Naruto was shocked when suddenly saw himself absorbed by a kind of whirlwind that threw him into a space in which he only was spinning. He heard far away the voice of Tsunade yelling his name. The kaleidoscopic/surreal/psychedelic tunnel made him stumble around till he finally stopped and felt he was flying. He looked downwards and realized that he really was in the air, with the village nowhere to be seen and a great forest that every second grew larger and closer…
Chapter 2: A Ninja in EverfreeSomething has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.
Chapter 3: Stripes and suspicionsAuthor's Note (I apologize in advance for the bad rhymes. I am not a poet. Even less in English) Chapter 3: Stripes and suspicions Twilight along with Spike had returned to the rendezvous point, obviously they had found no trace of the book and were frustrated. When she noticed that the afternoon was turning red and Celestia was starting to drop the sun, Twilight decided to end the search earlier. With none of the other ponies nearby, she began to inspect the remains of the Timberwolves. He hadn't done it before out of fear that somehow, they would revive again, but this time she didn't think it was dangerous since most of the day those branches were lying there, and they didn't move from their place. She tried to find some clue as to what thing could have done that to a group of predators that might be a problem for them, although she really didn't expect to find anything. That's why she was surprised when she discovered a small object that as soon as she saw it, she knew it was not part of the animal: a four-pointed piece of metal in the shape of a star. The alicorn didn't really know what they were, but she had the impression she had seen them before. She continued the search and found several more nailed to different parts of the previously animated bodies. When she finished picking up the sixth when Rarity appeared, her steps were elegant and really clean, so it seemed that she carried out the search "clean and orderly". Then Applejack appeared, covered in mud and leaves contrary to Rarity. In a few minutes Fluttershy arrived at a slow pace and trembling from head to toe as she looked nervously everywhere, Pinkie Pie, with her leaping step and her happy gaze, and Rainbow came flying and landed on the ground, none showed any signs of success. "Did anypony had luck?" "Nah-ah," Rainbow replied with boredom, "It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Can't we just give up on that book?" "I'm not going to give up on a book! But still ... I found something more mysterious" she said as she showed them with her magic the six clues she found. Each pony looked at them closely and even Rainbow was interested. "What are those things?" - Applejack asked 'I have no idea. I found them stuck in the Timberwolfes, and they can't be part of them because these things are metal " "They are shurikens!" Dash jumped in enthusiastically and grabbing a "I read about them in some comics. They are great!" "And ... what are they for?" Rarity asked without understanding. "For this...!" - screamed the pegasus as he threw it with his hoof against a tree. She was not used to throwing them so the shot went backwards and cut some of Pinkie's hair before digging into a tree opposite the one she was trying to launch. "Mmh... well at least get the idea." "This is not a toy, Rainbow," Twilight reproached, tearing the star off the tree. "This is a weapon! And whoever has faced the Timberwolfes used them to defeat them." "So is there some sort of shurikens-throwing pony around here?" Spike asked as he looked everywhere. "Whatever it is. Something strange is happening. First my book disappears even though we saw it appear through the portal that I opened here somewhere. And now we find someone or something that uses strange weapons to defeat Timberwolfes in the forest?” "I thought it was good that those Timberwolfes were dead," Fluttershy said in her soft voice. "I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I just find it strange that of all the places where there are Timberwolfes, we find these three here, with these weapons that I don't think any normal pony would use." Pinkie picked up one of the Shurikens and threw it, with such a prodigy that she pierced a falling leaf, cutting it in the middle and nailing it to a tree behind just in the middle of the trunk. "I would use them!" she said cheerfully as everyone looked at her stunned "Anyway, we couldn't find the book" - Applejack intervened somewhat tired- "It's getting dark and I really don't want to stay looking for some prodigious guy with these weird things beyond Pinkie." "Yes ... I guess you're right," Twilight gave up. "I will have to write to the princess about this new spell having certain side effects. Spike ... do you think you can write her a ...? "- She saw how he yawned and settled on her back with a sleepy face-" Oh Spike ... I think we will have to leave that report for tomorrow " The ponies all laughed as they headed out of the woods back home. Meanwhile, in a hut in the middle of the forest Naruto slowly opened his eyes and the first thing he felt was that his head hurt a little, as well as his right arm. He saw the wound and discovered that it was bandaged and that his vest had been removed to leave it on a coat rack near the bed where he was. Then he realized that he was inside what looked like a small house carved out of a huge tree. He was lying on a soft bed and surrounded by what appeared to be potions and ointments. In the center of the house was a bubbling cauldron, and the walls were decorated with the same masks that he remembered seeing outside. "Ah, I see that my strange visitor has woken up, I am glad to see that you are now healed up! - said a deep voice in a corner of the house" When Naruto paid attention he distinguished a creature similar to a mare but with black stripes, rings on the neck and ear along with a firm mane. "AAhhh ... A talking striped horse?" Naruto asked a little confused but not surprised since it was not unusual for him to see animals that speak "I see that you can speak ..." - The wise one replied with a serious look at the comment- "but good manners for you are difficult to reach. I am a zebra, in case you don't know, my name is Zecora and thanks to me you can stand up now on your own " "That is better. Now, who are you and where do you come from, could I ask?" She said with a smile "I am Naruto Uzumaki, and I come from the Village of Konoha" - He answered pointing to the symbol in his bandana. "Konoha, you say? I've never heard that name. And I've never seen any of your kind before, do you come from a land I don't know?" "Have you never seen a human before?" "Brat, I told you that we are not in the Country of Fire. Better ask him where we are before asking where we are going" "Ah, right! - He said to himself in front of the zebra's confused look-" Could you tell me where I am? " "Don't you know where you are? I feel more and more curious about your story behind. But since you ask me, I will tell, that you are in the Everfree Forest, in the land of Equestria, does that ring any bells?" “No...”- And he felt the denial of his partner inside him- We don't know where we are or where we should go. "We" you say. Are you coming with someone else? "It is ... difficult to explain." He hastened to say, trying to change the subject. He did not consider it prudent to talk about Kurama with everyone- “Anyway. Thank you for helping me to heal my wounds.” The zebra was smart, and was curious to learn more about its strange visitor. But she understood that it would be unwise to ask too much, so she changed the subject by approaching the bed. "You were lucky, deadly is the hydra poison, but you are also a strong creature, and I was able to suppress it with my own ointment" "Do you always have to speak in rhyme, stripes?" The boy asked with obvious irritation. “It is in my nature; it is something that I am. But speaking normally like you. If I want to, I can. But what is this?” -She exclaimed when he removed the bandages- “The wound is gone. Just a few hours of rest and you healed on your own?” "Yes... well...” - He said with a humble smile and scratching the back of his head - I usually heal myself pretty quickly. Do you think there is someone who can help me go home?" "I know someone who can help you. Although she is quite far away. Princess Celestia is the governor of Equestria, she could help you get on your way." "And where do I find her?" “Far away, in the city of Canterlot she is. Her student, Twilight Sparkle, nearby she lives. And I could help you meet her, if you want” “Hey, that doesn't rhyme!” “As I said, normally, I can speak. The town of Ponyville outside the forest is where you and Celestia's student meet” “Ok!” - He exclaimed jumping out of bed and taking his vest- “Come on!” The zebra looked him up and down and then looked out, it was already night. He looked back at her and shook his head. “Cautious I don't think it is. The forest is dangerous at night, and you will make a bad impression if you suddenly appear. Wait until morning, get a rest, and you will tell Twilight everything, to solve this mess” “But I'm not tired!” The boy protested "Naruto ..." - His inner companion told him- "You are not tired but I am. The venom of that snake quickly weakened you and I had to give you my chakra to stay alive. Maybe you recovered your strength, but I spent a lot of energy keeping your heart beating. Also, would you prefer to arrive at night to a town full of horses as if you were a ghost and knock door to door asking for a particular mare? More discreet would be to arrive in Kiuby mode to greet them myself " "I see ..." Naruto wailed while opening his eyes, he had closed them momentarily to speak to his Bijuu- I guess there is no other choice but to stay for tonight. "Were you talking to yourself again? It's disturbing. Is there something strange that your mind makes messy?" "No. This is how he is." - Kurama said to the zebra with his telepathy, her eyes turned wide. “For Equestria! Who spoke to me right now? Is it you who confides my mind?” “It's not a joke, Zebra. And it is not your imagination. My name is Kurama, and maybe we can talk since you saved both my life and my human pet” “Hey!” The following hours were spent chatting between the three of them, they told their story to the zebra, and the zebra in turn heard more than she spoke. At one point Naruto began to feel hungry, so Zecora gave him a couple of apples and roots that he had stored, Naruto gladly ate the first ones, but with the second he had to try a little to swallow them. When it was late at night, Naruto decided to sleep on the floor by the fire while Zecora recovered her bed, which she thanked them both very much. At Canterlot Castle Luna, princess of the night, watched her work with pride as she watched her subjects go to sleep and was saddened to see so few who admired her night. As was her custom, she spread her wings and drifted into the night breeze as her horn shone with her active magic and her eyes sparkled as she watched the dreams of her different friends. She did not enter directly into her dreams, but she ensured that it was not nightmares that clouded her rest. However, tonight there was something that disturbed her. As she got closer to Ponyville, a strange presence became more apparent to her. But instead of sleeping, during the night his strength increased and his spirits rose. She couldn't know what it was, but it was there. An unknown force that did not speak to her with a dream of his own, but felt it as an echo among the voices of his subjects. She approached to investigate, but every time she tried to find it the echo disappeared, as if it somehow sensed her presence and hid it from her view. Frustrated by such a failure, she returned to Canterlot where her bedroom awaited her, where she could relax a bit before returning to her daily duty. Great was her surprise when she found her sister waiting for her with a serious and worried look instead of that benevolent smile with which she generally associated her. "Sister, what are you doing awake at this time?" "The same as you, Luna. I think about strange events" "What? So ... did you feel it too?" "I only got to sleep for a moment when I was awakened by a strange vision. In it, I saw a creature of unmatched strength demonstrating its enormous power. I could not see its shape, but its energy was very powerful, it did not seem like magic. Although I did not see evil in him, I felt great fury and anger that emanated when I tried to get closer " "I don't know what to think" - Luna answered while looking at the night sky- "I felt a strange sensation of euphoria, of joy, of freedom as I approached Ponyville. Although I thought it was a dream of one of my subjects, later I I realized that whatever it was, he was happy about my nights, he was not asleep at all, but he kept awake and grew as the night progressed " "Good heavens! This is something that we must solve" -concluded the princess of the sun as she returned inside and headed towards the doors- "I don't know what it is that arrived in Equestria or because. But if we don't find this creature soon, and we find out what that wants, it could pose a great threat. Tomorrow I will go to visit Twilight Sparkle and see if she noticed anything too. If this force is as great as in my vision. The Elements of Harmony may need to be used again" "I'll go with you" "No!" -She said firmly- "I need you watching from here, if you see something that escapes our view. You will be the only one who can warn me while I'm away" "As you wish, sister" - Luna answered with evident annoyance. Seeing this, Celestia reached out and put a hoof on her shoulder "Do not feel bad, sister. If something, whatever it is, appears. I will notify you and will make you come immediately if we need you" "Very ... well ..." - Luna said as she returned to her night sky and took flight again. This time Luna didn't hear anything like the echo, but there was something about him that seemed to please her. In many years he had not felt something similar, it made her feel as if her night was special. There really was something that enjoyed its darkness. Deep in the Everfree Forest, Naruto and Zecora fell asleep while inside Naruto, Kurama smiled at their finding. "I see ..." - He thought with a certain emotion and a slightly mischievous smile- "There are beings in this world capable of feeling me despite being inside a Jinchuriki. It seems that they were alerted when they noticed that I recover at night, and be whoever they are are powerful, and ... nice ... This strange land may be quite interesting" At the same time that all these events were taking place in Equestria, dark forces were also moving along the borders. Far to the south, in a kingdom already destroyed and forgotten, a creature of great wickedness and voracious appetite met the formerly a great dictator. "So ..." - The queen said as her subjects looked at her guest with some respect, even fear- "Knowing that the princesses do not know about you or your ... return. Are you proposing to me, an alliance?" "Before it could be said that we were kings among mortals. Now look at us: Miserable and barely remembered as a bad dream. We must show these ponies who we are, and make them fear fear of darkness once again" "And what would you give me in exchange for our help?" "What price would be fair?" "Twilight Sparkle, along with her friends, between our fangs. Along with Canterlot and most of Equestria. My subjects need to feed." "Done. In return ... you will help me once again conquer what my Empire was, and you will leave that little pet princess rat for me" "You have my word" "So, that's how a pact is formed. A King with a Queen" From inside the infested castle the laughter of the two new allies began to sound. Eager to carry out their plan, knowing that this time they will succeed. The next morning. Two hours after sunrise "Good Morning!" Naruto shouted, startling the Zebra and making her fall from the bed. "Time to go for that princess, Dattebayo!" “I admire your decision” - Zecora answered as she got up annoyed and headed towards a lot of layers, “But I'm afraid that if you enter the town like this you will cause a commotion. You will wear an outfit similar to mine, so even if you attract attention you can keep a low profile " He threw at him a brown cape that was in good condition and incredibly fit despite the boy's size. “Uhmm ... Ok” -he said while putting on his clothes. The cloak included a hood, but the boy did not put it on They left the hut and walked through the forest without saying a word to each other until they spotted the town. Naruto felt like he was in some kind of dream country. He was used to seeing strange towns dedicated to the perfection of his military might, or gambling cities where there was hustle and bustle. However, he found a small village of humble houses, where different ponies of different colors were in charge of living their lives peacefully. He swallowed when he saw such a large number of equines come and go, and was more surprised to see as many strange beings as unicorns and pegasi in the same place. Everyone talking and living their life quietly, this was not something he could see every day. "Not as you imagined, I see, but once you meet them, they are a great company. I will take you to Princess Twilight Sparkle's house, you will be able to tell your situation, and she will be able to ask Celestia about a solution" "Okay," he said, putting on his hood, which would hide most of his face, and would only be possible if he looked closely, "Let's find that princess then" Several kilometers away, Princess Celestia flew at high speed as she continued to think about her strange vision and what her sister had told the night before.
Chapter 4: Various encounters of several typesSomething has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.
Chapter 5: A night meetingIt was late afternoon, and Ponyville was going on with his usual routine, although this time there was a new guest. Naruto decided to let the ponies that were supposed to keep him under surveillance take him on a tour of the town that took them most of the day. It was a really curious experience, as he tried to get used to remembering places, names of ponies and the food of the place of which the apples were the closest thing he knew to the food of his world. At the same time, being the new inhabitant of that world strangely made him feel at home, the ponies looked at him with as much fear as the inhabitants of his village did a few years ago. Being as stubborn as he always was, it was difficult for him to remember the names of his companions, so it didn't take long to create some nicknames to remember them. Pinkie pie, Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle and Rarity became "crazy pink", "rainbow hair", "smarty", and "Curly", to the amusement and dislike of the above. Introducing the remaining two ponies was somewhat ... complicated. The four ponies (Spike stayed in the library, ordering the Twilight books) and Naruto went to Sweet Apple Acres so that the boy could meet Applejack, whose presentation was most normal. Incredibly, Applejack was not surprised to see him, give it that she was accostumed to see rare thinks happening in the town. "Applejack. I present to you Naruto Uzumaki, a visitor from a distant land. Naruto, I present to you Applejack, one of my best friends and one of the most honest ponies I know" - Twilight introduced them trying to praise them both. "Nice to meet you," Naruto said as he held out a hand. However, he was surprised by the fact that the pony was so strong that it completely shook him by waving his arm. "The pleasure is mine" -answered Applejack while shaking him- "Any friend of Twilight is also my friend" "Y .. yes ..." -Naruto tried to say as he finished receiving the greeting and ended up lying on the ground, he got up somewhat excited- "Whoo! Boy, do you have any strength" ("Reminds me of Centipede Brows") "Thanks, product of my hard work at Sweet Apple Acres. Want to see the plantation?" "Actually ..." - Naruto said thinking for a moment - "I would like to work here, it will be a good training if it makes me this strong" "Well ... I suppose there is no problem. Here we always accept the help of those who offer it. We will pay you of course" -answered the pony, doubting when she saw it- "But it is something hard, are you sure you can do it?" "I'm not going to lose anything trying ..." "Well, I'll wait for you here tomorrow morning then" - Applejack concluded with a smile- "I hope you don't regret it. Now, what will we do now?" - She asked the rest of the group who was surprised at how willing the boy was to work. "I was hoping that we can introduce Naruto to all the ponies and then ..." "Then throw him a welcome party!" Pinkie interrupted her with her inexhaustible energy. "Yes ... that" - Twilight finished- "We should go see Fluttershy before we go through the treehouse. That's where Naruto is going to stay." "Ok let's go" The six of them drove all the way to an area far from Ponyville that was getting a little closer to the Everfree Forest. In the middle of a small hill was a solitary house surrounded by birdhouses and windows. In a small tree with several nests was the yellow Pegasus singing with that sweet voice that everyone liked. Unfortunately, no pony told Naruto that with Fluttershy one had to be tactful. "Hey, good afternoon!" - He shouted as they approached, greeting friendly but with force- "My name is Naruto Uzumaki!" The pony turned around, saw that strange creature approaching her screaming and simply passed out from the scare, falling from the air. 'Hey? Did I say something wrong? "- Naruto wondered as the other ponies approached with concern and Rainbow slapped her face. "Hey, Fluttershy, wake up!" - Twilight ordered as he patted her face a little and everyone surrounded her. Little by little Fluttershy regained consciousness "Eh ... what happened?" - She regained his sight- "Twilight? Girls? Why did I pass out?" "Sorry I scared you, my name is ...!" - Naruto said sticking his head in the circle. Immediately after, Fluttershy passed out again and Rainbow, annoyed, pushed the confused Naruto away while saying. "It is better that we introduce you to her ... we could be doing this all day" To sum it up, they had to revive it one more time and then they were introduced not without some fear from the pony. Naruto liked her, she reminded him of Hinata, a shy one who for strange reasons passed out from time to time. After that, they went to Twilight's house where they gave her the so-called "welcome party" that Pinkie offered to all the strangers that came to Ponyville. There, Naruto was able to eat some sweets and relax, which he did not do very often. They sat down and started chatting about each other's activities, Naruto listened attentively although he sometimes got lost in the chat. "And what is your occupation?" - Applejack asked the boy after telling him about his work at Sweet Apple Acres. "Occupation?" "Yes. Everyone here has something we specialize in, and it is from that ability that we work in our different areas. "Hence our Cutie Marks" - added Rainbow proudly showing the mark on her flank- "So, what do you do in your world?" "Ah! Well ... we have no marks on the butt" - Pinkie laughed at this comparison- "But I am a ninja in my Village" "REALLY?!" - Rainbow and Twilight shouted at the same time for their different reasons. "Yeah, and I'm pretty strong too! I usually do missions for the village that range from protecting certain people to kicking bandits in the butt sometimes. "Awesome!" -Said the pegasus. "Although ... lately I haven't had many important missions since the last Ninja War" "War?" - Twilight asked for interest in everything she could know about the world of Naruto- "War between whom?" "Well ... among other ninjas, I suppose. Although the latter was very strange, we were fighting against revived dead and some species of white clones out of a tree." 'Living ... dead? "- Fluttershy repeated with some fear. The other ponies had a hard time believing what they heard even though Naruto was very serious. "Yeah. But the war is over and now there is peace, although old Tsunade is sending me on diplomatic missions so often that I can't train properly. Ah! That reminds me ... Can I ask you a question? Why don't they have ninjas or at least soldiers? " "Why should we have them?" Rarity asked. "Uh ... because you could be under attack?" - Naruto replied again- "And don't you live near a forest where there are wolves and giant snakes with many heads?" "We have no enemies requiring soldiers in this town, Naruto," -Twilight explained, understanding heis point- "The races in Equestria live in peace and we can deal with whatever comes from the forest. "Uh ... because you could be under attack?" - Naruto replied again- "And don't you live near a forest where there are wolves and giant snakes with many heads?" "We have no enemies requiring soldiers in this town, Naruto," Twilight explained, understanding his point. "The races in Equestria live in peace and we can deal with whatever comes from the forest. "And don't they have a Ninja Village or a city that protects them in case someone from outside attacks them? "More than once Equestria was in danger and many times Princess Luna and Princess Celestia saved the day. But beyond the Changelings we banished a while ago, lately there is nothing strong enough to be a threat to the country. I see... "Is that the way it is in your world, darling?" Rarity asked her while she took some punch. "Do they fight other kingdoms and go to wars? "Eh ... it is not something that happens very often. Although it is true that the ninjas trained in a village that is supposed to be the main military power in the country" - He replied vaguely remembering his lessons at the academy- "Every village has a leader we call "kage" who is the one who protects her and is generally the best ninja in the whole village! "- Explaining that, he stood up with his fists firmly." That's why when he returns to my village, I I will become Hokage! That is my dream!" The ponies were stunned by this statement. Naruto's world seemed very different from his, it was a world of fight and violence although it seemed to be something very precious for the boy. There was a certain confidence in Naruto that lifted their spirits, Twilight thought it would be their imagination, but really that human had something strange that he had not felt when he went to the other world through the Mirror. "Well ..." - Rainbow said trying not to be left behind- "We are not ninjas. But we have the Elements of Harmony." "The what?" They then explained to Naruto what the Elements of Harmony were and how each element helped them defend Equestria through the "Magic of Friendship". Each one explained to him what was his Element and they told him about how they defeated Nightmare Moon and Discord at the time. Once the explanation was finished, Pinkie proposed the game "pin the pony's tail", which made them resume the party and they continued until late at night when each pony went home and Naruto slept on the floor of the library, although grateful to have at least a roof and a fire provided by a baby dragon. Deep inside, Naruto missed his world and the Village, wondering what was going on now that he was gone. In Konoha, it had only been a couple of hours since Naruto had left and Kakashi Hatake along with Sakura Haruno and Sikamaru Nara were in the Hokage tower with this news and with a surprised look. "Naruto ... disappeared? ' Sakura exclaimed in disbelief. "That's right" -Tsunade replied- "We don't know who did it or why, but it seems that Naruto was kidnapped with a space-time technique. With Sasuke out of the Village and the relations between the countries finally coming to fruition we can't let this be known " "What a bummer" -Shikamaru complained scratching the back of his neck- "That Naruto always getting into trouble from which we have to get him out" "None. At first I thought that maybe the toads of Mount Myoboku had summoned him, but I immediately sent a message and they have no idea of his whereabouts" "And what can we do?" - Sakura said impatiently- "If Naruto disappeared, the Village will find out sooner or later" "And in the worst case," Shikamaru continued, showing his concern, "Some idiot could accuse some other village of causing this and they would respond angrily. That would lead to an answer and another war could break out for no reason." "I know" -Tsunade agreed- "That's why I need you to investigate this, Shikamaru" - Handing him the book- "Have all the cartography experts review this book and consult with ancient maps if there is any place called Equestria" "Agree" "And what do you want me to do, Tsunade-sama?" - Kakashi asked- "I'm not sure what I could do if there are no clues to Naruto's whereabouts" "I will need you to assemble a team. Kakashi. A team that includes large Chakra accumulators that I will include myself in" "Chakra Accumulators? Wait ... you won't think of ..." "There is no other alternative. I'm sure Naruto was sucked into a space-time technique and the only way to find it, if we don't find another way, is to use that technique ourselves. I need you to gather enough ninjas with resources to generate enough Chakra, and send us all with the Kamui " "It is something risky" -Kakashi answered touching the Sharingan of his left eye while he thought about the possibilities- "Sending many people with that technique could mean a journey of no return. And we would not know if we will reach the dimension where Naruto went or if will be there once we get there " "If we get to the dimension where it is, Naruto could use the Kiuby's energy to give you enough power to return. It's decided. You have a day to prepare everything, get going!" Princess Luna raised the moon a while ago although she was still thinking about what Celestia had said to her when she arrived in the afternoon of her trip to Ponyville. Flash Back: "Sister! What did you find out?" -Exclaimed the Night Princess when she saw her relative enter the balcony from where she usually raised the Moon. "It is fascinating, Luna. The creature we are looking for is not physically manifested, but I think it has something to do with a certain visitor in Ponyville." "Visitor?" "A young human named Naruto Uzumaki. It seems that by mistake he came into this world by accident and is now in the company of my student" "Twilight Sparkle? But tell me ... that being we feel, is it really dangerous?" "Dangerous, surely. But we do not know if it is a threat to Equestria, for the moment I know that that being appeared at the same time that the human appeared in this world. If the creature is the human or the human is the beast, I do not I know. But for now I think we're safe, the boy is something ... particular " "Did it make such a bad impression on you?" "It's not that, it's just that he's not someone ... ordinary. He is extravagant, and he really doesn't seem used to dealing with royalty or someone with higher authority" "Really ...? - Luna said with enough interest. "Now ... I must lower the sun, continue your daily routine, Luna. Tomorrow I will contact Discord and we will begin to investigate to see if we can return him to this world. But keep an eye on Ponyville, okay?" End of Flash Back "Of course I will," Luna said to herself with a look hungry for adventure and launched herself into the darkness of the Night as she projected her power observing Ponyville's dreams. Naruto slept, and Kurama felt the night awaken his strength like all Bijuu. Carefully he extended his influence outside and felt the same force he had felt the night before soaring through the skies. "It seems that is the so-called Princess Luna" - he said to himself as he sat down- "And he must be looking for my presence again. Very well, let's see if I can please her." He clapped his ... claws together, and formulated a seal as he ejected Chakra outside. Since Naruto suppressed his cage to give him freedom, it was easier for him to manifest himself, and with the brat's mind in a subconscious state, his actions would be without interruptions. What he was trying to do was not easy, since he did not have much practice and acted from inside a Jinchuriki, but it should be possible. He also did not like the idea since such a technique had taken his free will and made him attack Konoha against his will, but there was nothing to lose trying. If his theory was correct, the Night Princess dominated the night and reacted to his emotions, even if they were manifested with the simple meeting of the Chakra, so a Genjutsu, an illusory technique, should work to attract the princess. If she fell for his technique, he could come face to face with her without having to manifest outside the boy, which he couldn't do without awaking him. It was like creating an artificial dream, although the one who controlled it was Kurama himself Princess Luna was already flying near Ponyville while looking for signs of any suspicious activity, she suddenly felt a strange force. It seemed to be a dream like any other, but there was something ... strange about this particular one. She set her sights on the Twilight Sparkle treehouse and tried to enter that dream. Without knowing how, she entered a kind of dark chamber where the moon shone above her head, but there were no walls or trees in an infinite nothingness barely illuminated by the light of the satellite "Hello?" she called, and her voice echoed - "Is anyone here?" "A thousand pardons, princess" -Kurama's voice echoed around her, "I'm not used to letting others in here." "Who are you?" -She asked defiantly while looking everywhere looking for something "They call me Kyubi," Nine Tails, although it is not my real name. I am a Bijuu, a Tail Beast" "Show yourself!" "As you like..." Her surroundings suddenly altered and she was now in a stone room lit by torches but still with the moon and now a starry sky as a ceiling. In front of her Kurama materialized, but he did it in a size just a little bigger than Luna, so as not to scare her. The alicorn stepped back slightly upon seeing the demonic figure of the fox. He simply smiled at her reaction. "I usually give that impression. At least you don't see me at my full size, I'm actually much bigger." Luna, as a reflection, began to speak with the traditional royal canterlot voice "SO IT IS YOU, THE CREATURE THAT MY SISTER AND I HAVE BEEN FEELING, THE ONE THAT HAS A GREAT HATE INSIDE! WHAT BUSINESS DO YOU HAVE IN EQUESTRIA?" "Don't provoke me, Princess Luna! - He answered with a voice that seemed to be a roar- "I, THE MOST POWERFUL OF THE BIJUU, WILL NOT BE DISRESPECTED, EVEN BY ONE OF THE RULERS OF THE SKY!" At such a display of pride and power, Luna lowered her voice and looked at her opponent. He kept his gaze locked on her eyes, never giving up, never showing weakness. Finally the princess decided to lower her gaze, if she was really going to deal with that creature, better not to start on bad terms. He decided to change the topic of conversation to try to reduce the damage. Showing interest about your surroundings. It really seemed like a dream, but somehow she couldn't control it. "How can you do this? Only I have the power to control dreams" "This is not a dream" -Kurama said with a smile as he sat down and also lowered his voice- "It is a Genjutsu, an illusion, I created it specifically to attract you and to meet us face to face" "Did you ... want to meet me? "Of course. The Bijuu recover and show more power during the night, the fact that here someone specifically can create the night caught my attention" "Where exactly do you come from? What do you want? Where are you exactly?" "I come from the same world as Naruto. What do I want? I didn't think much about it. Seeing this world with my own eyes maybe would be something better than seeing them through a Jinchuriki. As for where I am, you could say that I am inside Naruto, I was sealed inside the boy when he was a baby. I have lived with him ever since. " "You don't seem to have bad intentions" - Luna said suspiciously- "Although it is not the first time that someone fools us" "I do not wish this world any harm, and I could not anyway. Naruto controls the seal that holds me inside, unless he lets me out, I cannot physically manifest beyond expelling Chakra" "Are you a prisoner then? And what is this Chakra you are talking about? Is it something like magic? "It may be similar, but it is not the same" -He said, ignoring the first question- "The Chakra is the vital energy of our bodies, the Bijuus like me are huge masses of living Chakra. Perhaps what you call magic is not is exactly the same as the chakra, but there are certainly huge masses of natural chakra in this world " "You really surprise me" -answered Luna as she sat on the floor- "You are wise, and powerful. You almost remind me of Star swirld." "Starswirld?" The bijuu and Luna started chatting for the rest of the night, they really came to understand each other. Kurama at one point feel comfortable enough to open himself and mentioned how he had his bad side and that hatred along with resentment ruled him for many years. Luna confessed at the same time that she also had her dark period, and decided to tell her about her time as Nightmare Moon and her exile for a thousand years on the moon. They were amazed at how much alike they were: They both had a moment of darkness in their hearts, they had both been exiled and imprisoned differently, one still was, and they were both saved by someone special who would later become their friend. Without realizing it, they began to forge a friendly relationship in the short time they spent together. When it was finally time to drop the moon, Kurama felt it and told the Princess. "I have to go, Kyubi" - Luna asked "Call me ... Kurama" - he replied while formulating the seals to release the technique- "Will we see each other again?" "Of course, just ... let's not resort to getting caught up in illusions next time" -she replied with a smile as the illusion disappeared and Luna appeared in the sky, floating on a cloud. "Until then ..." -said Kurama inside Naruto as he leaned back- "Mmhh ... it's ... attractive, for a pony. But... it's a bit of a screamer" It really was amazing, that world really was special. It seemed surprising to him because no one, except perhaps Naruto, had been able to understand him as that alicorn had done in such a short time. While flying, Moon thought the new friend she had done, and to some extent felt a strange happiness. It really was good to see someone who understood her and enjoyed her night. As Luna returned to Canterlot, Sombra wandered around Ponyville observing in the gloom and trying to unravel that mystery. Luna was distracted by something, and at the same time he had felt a force that he did not know where it came from or how strong it was. There was something else in that town that even the King himself knew he should watch out for. When he returned to his post in the Everfree Forest, he smiled with satisfaction to discover that the Changelings had captured their targets and were ready for the next step. They should wait with some time to be able to perfectly copy their ways, but the Forest would provide the necessary refuge to do so. As the two hostages squirmed and moaned trying to wriggle out, Shadow put them to sleep with their dark powers in a nightmare as he watched them in the moonlight.
