Gotta admit, I look pretty swag, though.

"Ehh?" Kouta blinks for a moment, but decides seeing another one of himself really isn’t the weirdest thing thats happened. "I do like the look, but I could go without the cape is all… How about you-me?" Effectively as strong as a demi-god, still a huge dork. Never ceases to amaze.

[youngestmonkey]

"It’s worth a try!" The other Kouta agrees, reaching out to have his fingers curl around the base of the lockseed. He closes his eyes, ignoring the hollow whining of the void around them. Hase. Hase, are you… Are you there? Please, let us find you.

[orange-sanjou]

"Okay!"

Doing the same, focusing his power with his other self, he feels a jolt. In fact, both of them would. There was another presence here… Faint, yet not… There, but gone. Was it Hase?

The lockseed the two Koutas were holding onto would vibrate slightly and glow. Should either of them open their eyes, they would see a faint outline of another spirit grabbing onto the lockseed.

They found him. Or did he find them?

One thing was for sure, it was indeed Hase Ryoji’s spirit.

The lockseed, upon the spirits contact with it, changed colour. The brown shine on the front gleamed a stark obsidian, and the black outlines turned gold! The lockseed’s number also changed, from LS-01 in black to LS-X1, in the same shining gold that the outlines turned into.

Did the two Kouta’s overstay their welcome? The Kouta that still had his cape on, felt a tug to throw him out of this void, he only held on because of the changing Pinecone Lockseed… Perhaps the rift between was weakening for him…!

"Learn to forgive myself…" Naruto said as he looked up at the sky then back down at the waves listening to what Kouta had to say. It felt like he was talking to the sage himself, but then again Kouta probably lived longer then Naruto and put up with things he could only imagine.

Naruto watched as Kouta grabbed a leaf and turned it into a small golden bandage before handing it to him. “Amazing…” Naruto said looking down at the leaf before holding it closer to himself, feeling the warmth it radiated. “Perhaps you are right Kouta or maybe I was too harsh on myself for thinking my friends would not forgive me for doing what I did.”

"I only wished to protect them and I never gave them an explanation for leaving. I think it’s best if I go see them again and start by asking for their forgiveness for leaving without a proper farewell."

[orange-sanjou]

"Well, they are your friends, after all. They'll understand you for sure!" Kouta grins. "You do that whenever you feel ready, Naruto."

He looks over the land. "Its a beautiful world out there, I'm sure of it."

[crocus-procella-deactivated2019]

Naruto listened to what Kouta said and it was a sad tale indeed. It seemed he became who he was by sacrifices, and even if Naruto wanted to say they were worthless, it seemed like Kouta lived with it and made the most of what he could. “There were sacrifices on my end as well, and if I gave into the darkness that the ten tails is trying to cast on me, then everything I’ve done would be a waste of those that sacrificed themselves for the greater good.”

"I wish to train some more to get a hold of this power and I believe the key to that is to visit the waterfall of truth. I did it before and erased the darkness inside me, but its managed to take hold again, and if I want to harness the true power of the ten tails then I must do that."

[orange-sanjou]

The wind picks up a little, a short breeze, to be exact. "Mm." Kouta nods.

"The only advice I can think of for you right now, is learn to forgive yourself. Cuz you're not a bad person!" Kouta held out his hand for a leaf that was brought up here due to the wind.

"Life always has stories hidden away. Even in leaves." Kouta closes his hand over the leaf and under it, through his fingers a faint glow can be seen.

After a short moment he opens his hand again, and within it, is what seems to be a small golden, metallic looking leaf badge. He hands it to Naruto.

"Sometimes, especially in the leaves. Heheh.." What could he mean by this? Kouta is one mysterious person.

[crocus-procella-deactivated2019]

"I’m doing my best to control the beast, and honestly I hope that in time I will be able to control it and go back to my friends, but until then I must keep myself hidden from them. If any of them should find me, then I fear it’s only a matter of time before more come after me to use my power for evil, and not what it was intended." Naruto said.

"I don’t know what you went through in your dimension Kouta, but it sounds to me like you embraced what you became and learned to live with it." 

[orange-sanjou]

"Mm.. I understand how you feel... But, you'll do what you must for their safety." Kouta nods.

Kouta's tone becomes rather sombre as he explains the fight for the fruit of knowledge and the near destruction of his world. "To become what I am.. To earn the Golden Fruit, I wasn't the only one to make sacrifices. All of my friends did too.. To be as I am now, with any regret would be an insult to the memories of my fallen friends, and also the living ones."

He looks over the cliff and takes a deep breath. "Although, as I've said before, I think there is far more to what I have been given than I think." Turning back to Naruto, he smiles. "You'll get there too, Naruto."

[orange-sanjou]

Gotta admit, I look pretty swag, though.

"Ehh?" Kouta blinks for a moment, but decides seeing another one of himself really isn’t the weirdest thing thats happened. "I do like the look, but I could go without the cape is all… How about you-me?" Effectively as strong as a demi-god, still a huge dork. Never ceases to amaze.

[youngestmonkey]

Kouta’s fingers close around the lockseed, the rough surface sending nostalgic, melancholy even, jolts through him. He sees Hase’s face, smiling widely. Or is it terrified, the vision he saw not long before the poor boy’s life ended? 

There is, indeed, a pull inside him. Deeper into the abyss. Swirls of black, tendrils that search almost bashfully, barely touching the outer corners of his consciousness. 

"I feel it. I feel him.”

[orange-sanjou]

"Really!? Then I was sort of right!"

Backing away from the darkness making his way over to his counterpart, he gets an idea.

"Although; what I felt like I could see.. I think it was missing something." He explains that he pretty much the same thing as his counterpart, feeling like there was much more to the visions.

"Hmm... What if we both hold onto the Lockseed? Perhaps our combined power could make this easier?"

[crocus-procella-deactivated2019]

"Yeah, it’s harsher then it sounds Kouta…" Naruto said as he did his best to explain it. "Basically a giant vine grows out of the ground and uses the moon as a reflect to cast an illusion that traps everyone in cocoons and drains their chakra. I’m not about to do that." 

"And it’s not so much being away from my friends, but the creature sealed inside me, it’s much more powerful then the other bijuu combined, and being sentient, it’s trying to get me to do things I usually wouldn’t do. I have to tame the beast so to speak."

[orange-sanjou]

"Wow..." Kouta is lost for words, who would think to do such a thing to people? It was no better than what an old enemy of his wanted.

"Mm, that really does set you apart from others that might have been in your position." Kouta nods. "Well y'know, the bonds you share with your friends will be able to withstand anything you've all done together, plus even more more beyond that, and you better believe it!"

After a couple minutes she hands it back “Whatever it is, it’s alien, or at least partially alien and didn’t really want to talk to me”

[orange-sanjou]

"Well.. That would explain a lot." There is another secret Ruby would be able to figure out; its that the ID plate can slide off.

"Ruby, Ruby Marten" She replies, gently taking it, from the moment she touched it, she knew that this piece of tech was different from anything else. Somehow almost alien in origin.

[orange-sanjou]

Kouta waits patiently, so as not to disturb her. It is very correct to say that there are parts of the Sengoku driver that are rather alien. It could be said to an error margin of 1:2, success to failure that around 60 percent of it is not of Earth. But of the pieces that are..? Well, its safe to say that whoever made this device is a super-genius!

"Can I hold it, it’s easier for me if I can actually hold the tech" She asks, it’s cool that he wants to learn more about it.

[orange-sanjou]

"Mmm, sure, I don't need to be using it right now." Kouta hands it to Ruby. "The names Kouta, by the way."

Nice goofy grin there, fruit-boy.

[crocus-procella-deactivated2019]

"Maybe you have a point there Kouta, but there’s also people out there that wish to have me do things that aren’t exactly for the benefit of our world." Naruto said staring down at the waves below. 

"Some people, well more followers of the goddess Kaguya think I’m the second coming and wish to see me enact the Eye of The Moon Plan again to help cleanse this world, but I refuse. This world has suffered enough, and I don’t need to add to it."

"Perhaps if I could find a way to control this transformation and hide my powers, I could return to my friends and explain myself better…" Naruto said thinking about what he said.

[orange-sanjou]

"Eye of the Moon? Whats that? Also, cleansing the world? That sounds ludicrously harsh... You don't seem the type to wish for that..." Kouta looked fairly offended at the idea, he had dealt with enemies having similar thoughts.

Kouta smiles and nods as Naruto has a more positive thought. "Thats the spirit! I'm still getting to know my own ability as well, perhaps one day I could do the same, and visit my friends too."

"I could give it a shot. Can’t promise anything though. what seems to be the problem?"

[orange-sanjou]

"Oh- Theres no problem, I'm just interested in learning about this thing here!"

Kouta brings out his 'Sengoku Driver' and shows it to Ruby.

"I think there might be some impressive secrets hidden within it." Kouta polishes the ID plate a bit. "I was given it by a scientist to uhm.." He chuckles nervously "..Help me control an ability that I have." Also, to fight monsters from an evil alternate dimension forest that invades other dimensions, but Kouta doesn't want to make anyone panic.

[crocus-procella-deactivated2019]

Naruto listened to what the stranger had to say and despite his trobubles, he still kept up a positive attitude which is what Naruto honestly should have done, but he still felt guilty over what happened with events and felt like he couldn’t return to his old self just yet.

"My name’s Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki, and I’ve been called many things too, including The Number One Unpredictable Hyperactive Ninja, Konoha’s Orange Konoha, Hero of The Leaf, and most recently Savior Of This World. I’m not too sure if any of them fit me now."

[orange-sanjou]

Kouta remembers his friend Micchy, who had gone down a distressing path, alone with nobody to support him.

While in totally different circumstances, Kouta would assume both Naruto and Micchy felt so much regret for their decisions.

Kouta nods. "Naruto... Alright. Maybe you think they don't fit you now, but they did once. That shouldn't mean they can't fit you again, right?"

"It’s okay, I can talk to tech. I’m different and that’s okay with me"

[orange-sanjou]

"So, you can talk to computers? Huh.." Kouta looks off to the side, the gear he uses is a weird case. To consider it technology, or something beyond that, at the moment, he has no idea. What he does know, is that he can use it to protect people. "So, if someone had some kinda mechanical belt device that... Uhm, held things I guess, you could sorta speak to it?"

"I grew up seeing signals generated by things like phone calls. and in this day an age, it’s just becoming more of a endless jumble"

[orange-sanjou]

"Oh.. Uh." Kouta isn't sure how to react to that. He has gear that can somewhat simulate it, but.. "I don't know how that feels, actually. Uhm. My bad?"

"…….. Okay, crazier might be right"

[orange-sanjou]

"I was gonna try and think of something even crazier than that, but now that you mention it, it does sound weird enough on its own." Even if it has become part of your every day life. "I guess I just like t'be positive?"

"At this point in my life I think I have learned to roll with stuff. No matter how crazy it may seem"

[orange-sanjou]

"Could be crazier, giant fruits could drop onto your head out of the sky!" Kouta...

[crocus-procella-deactivated2019]

Naruto immediately sprang, well hovered to his feet as he sensed something, and it didn’t seem to be of this world, but whatever it was, it had a lot of power, and he would fight anything that tried to hurt his world, though when he heard the chuckling he lowered his guard slightly.

This person seemed familiar as if he’d met him before, but much different as he talked to Naruto and it seemed he had to do the same thing. “Yes, I did it out of the goodness of my heart to protect those that I love. I can’t go back to them and live among them because I am what people fear. I’m the Juubi reborn and make people feel uneasy. I am basically a god and that is why I am living in isolation.” Naruto said looking over the cliff himself.

[orange-sanjou]

"Mm... Can't say I know how you feel about the responsibility, I think as similar as our situations may be, we came to them differently." Kouta breathes a sigh of relief. "There is still so much for us to do, I think."

He smiles and looks to Naruto. "I've been called The Man of Beginning, but.. I don't really think that fits me, ya know? I'm Kouta, Kouta Kazuraba. Whats your name?"
