Chapter 2: A Ninja in Everfree

Twilight stopped the flow of magic when she realized that the whirlwind had taken the book but had not reappeared where it should. Instead she just watched as her own whirlwind disappeared and she seemed to have lost one of her precious books.

He was about to yell at Rainbow Dash about her lousy idea when she interrupted her by pointing her hoof at the forest.

“Look at that!” Twilight turned around and saw the same whirlwind that she had created over a part of the Everfree forest and that something was falling at full speed from it.

“Well ... it seems that the experiment was not a complete disaster. I only had certain DISTRACTIONS” Looking at Rainbow and Spike who smiled nervously- and it seems that the book appeared in another location. Now we are going to have to go get it.

“Do you want to go to the Everfree Forest, where lots of strange creatures live, to find a book you already have?”

“Yes” Alicorn answered frankly “Come on, Spike?”

“Uuhmm… I would honestly prefer to take Applejack if we are going to Everfree Forest. Since she saved me from those Timberwolves, I prefer that she accompany me on dangerous expeditions”

“And we could take Fluttershy”- added Rainbow “She knows about wild animals, and it would be very useful if we meet other of those adult dragons.”

“If so” Twilight concluded “We should take Rarity...”

The baby dragon and the pegasus exchanged glances.

“What do you want to take Rarity for?”

“I do not know. Maybe it can be of help, right?”

“If you're going to take Rarity, I suppose there is no other option than to take...”

“Hello girls!” A pink pony shouted, a brand of balloons on her flank and hair as wild as her character that appeared out of nowhere next to them “Are you planning an adventure? Because if they plan an adventure, they should let me know. Because if they don't warn me, how could I accompany them during their adventure? And if I don't accompany you during your adventure ...”

“Yes. I think we will all go- Rainbow concluded as she flew from the ceiling to the ground in an attempt not to go crazy”

The four began to go to each other's houses (Obviously Rarity was the first since they were still above the Boutique) to invite them to share the adventure.

"What I do not understand ..." Thought the princess as they walked "It is because my book looked bigger. It seems that a couple of pages came off, for a moment I thought arms came out of it"

---

At the top of the Hokage's tower, Tsunade watched as the purple whirlwind faded as she placed a huge, heavy book on the spot where Naruto had been.

"A space-time jutsu?" She thought as he approached the book and took it from the ground. “Equestria: Glossary and Atlas”

As soon as she finished reading the title, she hurried to her office.

"Shizune!" She called as she strode into the studio

“Tsunade-Sama?”

“Call Kakashi and the rest of Team Seven, as well as Shikamaru and the village mapping experts. We have an emergency”

---

Naruto Uzumaki opened his eyes and clutched his head as he complained about the blow.

“Ugh ... what the hell?”

When he got up he found that he was in the middle of a strange forest, but it was nothing like the forests around Konoha. The trees were smaller, and the vegetation was thicker, it really looked more like a jungle than a forest.

“Damn old Tsunade!” He thought aloud “You made me fly away from the village without even letting me prepare anything for the trip. Now I will have to go back to Konoha and...”

“Brat...” A voice whispered from inside him. As soon as he felt it, the boy closed his eyes, “Naruto!”

The boy opened his eyes again but was no longer in a forest but in his inner sanctuary where he was with Kurama.

“What happens?”

“Didn't you notice? You were caught in a kind of space-time technique”

“Huh?”

Naruto vaguely remembered that kind of purple whirlwind and then the next thing he remembered was that he was flying in midair.

“So that was a space-time jutsu like Obito's or Kakashi-sensei's?”

“Yes…” he replied with a serious tone “But it seems that he did more than transport us from one place to another. I can no longer feel the Chakra of any shinobi nearby. And in fact, I don't feel any chakra at all. Instead I can feel abundant natural energy around us. It is as if we are again on Mount Myoboku”

“So, we are on the toad’s mountain?”

“I told you I can't feel any Chakra, you idiot! And this forest... I'm not sure if we are in fact in the Land of Fire or if we are not even in any country.”

“Well... We will have to get out of this forest and find out.”

“Be careful, this forest is strange, you will not be able to move easily”

Naruto started jumping from one tree to another holding chakra on the soles of his feet. It wasn't long before he ended up tangled upside down in a bunch of vines. The way he was hanging made his first test with Kakashi-sensei come to mind.

“I told you that you were not going to be able to move so easily!” Said the fox chuckling.

“Oh, shut up, ball of fur!” He replied while taking out a kunai.

“I would think twice about letting you go, look below”

Naruto gasped as he realized that there were three creatures on the ground made of wood, but shaped like huge wolves that looked at him, growled and looked at him with yellow eyes that did not show good intentions.

“The hell…! What are those things?” He exclaimed as he waved his arms and became nervous at the bites that closed near him.

“Don’t know! But I wouldn't let them get close”

“How useful” He said sarcastically while clasping his hands.

“Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!”

Instantly two shadow clones appeared next to him and helped him free himself while holding him away from those animals' fangs.

“It does not seem that they will let us go” Said one of the clones

“No. Shall we separate?”

“It's been a long time since we've exercised our muscles” objected the original with a smile and making fingers snap, “Let's show them what we are made of”

The three began to run down the tree and the wolves awaited their arrival.

The first of the clones crawled between them and distracted them by throwing shurikens at the area near their necks. But for wolves that size, piercing weapons only caught their attention.

Two of the animals turned around and began chasing the attacking clone while a third instinctively continued to stalk the original along with the last clone. Too late, the original Naruto had already kneaded the chakra in his double's hand in the shape of a small miniature cyclone.

“Rasengan!” The clone screamed while hitting the animal with the technique, which ended up being sawdust on the ground. One down.

The decoy clone held its position dodging as much as it could, but a claw finally caught up with it making it disappear in a cloud of smoke. After all, they were two huge animals used to fighting in the woods.

Anyway, the distraction took effect, because the original Naruto, as soon as he knew that the resengan hit the target, took the Kunai with which he thought to cut the lianas and with a jump he nailed it directly to the neck of the second wolf. The impact was accurate and critical, the animal collapsed turned into a pile of wood and branches. Two down.

There was only one opponent left, and this one confirming that there was nothing left of his prey worth devouring turned around to confront the other two. Naruto exchanged glances with his double and joined his arms repeating his Shadow Clone Jutsu. From facing two, the Timber Wolf happened to find himself facing eight clones along with the original, who were staring at him defiantly.

He tried to back away from numerical superiority, but the clones immediately surrounded him.

“Eat this!” They all shouted together as they coordinated their attack in groups of two.

“U ...!” Two clones kicked him aside, some branches fell off

“Zu ...!” Two others returned him to the center and raised him a little in the air, a leg came off

“Ma ...!” The third group raised it two more meters vertically, the whole animal creaked from the damage

“Ki ...!” The last group raised it three meters more, the The animal's torso cracked, the original Naruto was waiting for him in the air for the coup de grace

“Naruto Rendan!” The final kick completely destroyed the animal, leaving only pieces with a certain shape that fell inanimate and without being a danger to nobody.

“Yes!” The original shouted while the other clones disappeared, “No animal can against Naruto Uzumaki!”

“Are you done, brat?” Kurama asked with a bored tone

“Yeah, and not because of you.”

“Did you need my help at any time? Then don't bother me! Anyway, I was trying to detect someone or something other than the fauna and flora of this place. It seems that this forest is full of creatures that would like to kill you or just want you to leave them in peace”

“I realized that” he replied sarcastically as he looked at the previously animated remains of the wolves, “Did you notice anything that is more intelligent than these animals?”

“Actually yes. Two kilometers to the north I found a being with thoughts that do not seem evil, or at least not from a simple animal.

“Well done, Kurama. Two kilometers to the north?” He started walking forward with a firm step, “Here I go!”

“That's the south, idiot”

“Ah!” He corrected his course and smiled, “I guess I'm distracted”

“Why doesn't that surprise me?”

---

Twilight and the rest of the girls, along with Spike, were already inside the Everfree Forest, trying to figure out what all that commotion was that sounded a moment ago.

“Did you hear that?” Fluttershy asked with a tone of evident fear

“I think half of Ponyville heard it” Applejack assured “Do you have any idea what it could be, Twilight?”

“It's the Everfree Forest. It could be anything. Hurry up and find the book!” She pulled out a small map from his backpack with the Everfree forest drawn on it, “If my calculations are correct, the book should have fallen a few Kilometers southeast of Zecora’s hut”

“Are we going to visit Zecora?” Pinkie asked, “Because I brought my Party Cannon, and maybe we could have a…”

“No, Pinkie!” Rainbow replied annoyed “We are not going to visit Zecora. I'm not going to listen to those rhymes over and over, and it's enough that we have to do all this to find a book”

“I agree with Dashie on that matter” Rarity added as they walked, she was wearing a hat with camouflage tones and in her bag she had other clothes, “entering the forest is an exercise that I would rather avoid unless it was important. what is the deal with that book, anyway?”

“Why is the deal ?!” Twilight exclaimed with a horror face, “That book shows the results of my first attempt at the first advanced spell that Princess Celestia sent me! If I don't have every result, every experiment, every spell, I could mean that I don't take it seriously! And if the princess thinks I don't take it seriously she could send me back to Magic Kindergarten! AND I DON'T THINK OF ALLOWING IT!”

At this point, Twilight had her eyes almost glued to Rainbow's after an invasive approach to the faces of each pony.
“OK, Twilight! You made your point!” The pegasus replied with some fear.

“Good! Then let’s go! To find my future approval!” She shouted as she began to gallop with the other ponies behind trying to keep up with her.

At this rate, the six mares along with their accompanying dragon followed the path without suspecting that they were actually moving away from the target. When they got to where the remains of the Timberwolfes were, they started to get nervous.

“What do you think happened?” Rainbow asked Twilight.

“One of two: either these Timberwolfes destroyed each other to try to catch something or, and I think this idea is a bit disturbing, that something destroyed them”

“Too much destruction to be a single book, don't you think?” Rarity said.

“Who said the book did this? But still, we're close to the area where it should have fallen, so stay alert. Separate yourselves and look for it, if it starts to get dark and we can't find it, we will meet here and return to Ponyville”

“What if we find what he did ... this?” Fluttershy asked.

“Well ... I guess we should do what we always do, right?”

“Run as fast as we can?”

“I was going to say, meet the other ponies and face the problem together, but yes, that works too. Now go!”

They started looking for each one on their own, except Twilight, who had Spike on his back. As they checked, Spike was silent and thoughtful for a long time.

“Is something wrong, Spike?”

“No, I was just remembering that...”

“Yes?”

“Remember that swamp with that huge hydra that we faced so long ago? What if that hydra is still around here?”
“Oh, don't worry, Spike” Twilight answered as she looked through some bushes again, “That hydra is too far to get here, it's about two kilometers northeast. Zecora lives near there and it never bothered her, I don't think it's dangerous for anyone”

---

“¡WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHGGGG!”

Naruto ran over the water of the swamp with everything his legs gave him while a huge four-headed snake chased him, throwing bites every now and then. It was really funny for Kurama, since he saw everything from inside Naruto, but he was not amused.

“You said that an intelligent being lived two kilometers to the north!”

“I told you that it was a being that had no bad intentions and that, therefore, it was not an ordinary animal. And besides, you strayed from the road about forty-five degrees fifteen meters from where I told you the exact address”

“How was I to know that that small stream that seemed clean was going to come from here?” He answered while dodging another blow from one of the heads, “I was supposed to be heading north. How was I to know that I would stray so far?”

“Only you can think of following a random stream to a swamp. Now, get done with that thing and head over to where I told you!”

“I will not be able to defeat her with a couple of clones and a rasengan. I need you to lend me chakra”

“Hmph ... humans...!”
Naruto suddenly started to glow and soon a flaming chakra mantle enveloped him. Once his Kyubi mode was complete, Naruto turned around and faced the hydra as it continued its pursuit sending head after head.

Naruto jumped on the neck of one, then another, and another, in this last one the boy raised his fist and with a great speed plunged it into the nape of the snake so that he would not use it again.

The bad thing is that the animal was clever, and while Naruto attacked the third head, the fourth took the opportunity to launch an attack with his mouth open. The hit hit the target, although not completely. Naruto's reflexes allowed him to dodge most of the attack but still the hydra's fangs reached his right arm squeezing it and sinking into the flesh.

"That hurts, you bastard!" He screamed as a rasengan formed on her left arm using chakra arms to form it.

The boy returned the attack with the same brutality causing two of the four heads to be knocked out. Naruto jumped out of the head unconscious and fell to his feet in the water using his chakra to keep from sinking.

"Let's get this over with!" He said as two more pairs of Chakra hands formed on his arm that began to form a colossal sized rasengan but mixing it with his wind nature to form a more powerful technique.

“Fuuton: Rasen Shuriken!” He shouted as he threw the huge wind shuriken against the huge body of the hydra and it was thrown backwards before the explosion of cuts and energy.

The battle was quick, though violent. Once he saw the rest of the monster sink into the swamp waters, Naruto returned to his natural state and noticed the two large marks on his arm produced by the snake's fangs.

“You became careless, Naruto” His partner scold him, “during a real battle you would never have let them hit you like that”

“Oh, shut up! Anyway, where is that person that did you talk to me before”

“Less than a kilometer to the east. Go straight and no more detours!”

Naruto started jumping from tree to tree, this time being careful not to trip over anything, although he felt something strange: From time to time the vision blurred and his arm hurt more than he wanted to accept. Believing it was a passing problem, he quickened his pace until he reached a certain clearing in the forest where the vegetation was denser.

Once he went down to the ground, he walked a little more until he reached what looked like a huge tree with a door in the middle and decorated with several strange masks that gave him a bad feeling.

“Finally, someone who can answer some questions about this crazy forest! Now I will know how to get to the village... now... I will ...”

And the boy suddenly collapsed, his vision blurred and his forces leaving him. The last thing he could make out was a blur of white and gray, and the world moving without him even trying to make a move.
