"King, I got an invitation to the tournament of power." Naruto said as he entered the bar

"Well that was direct. And you want to know about the current info plus help to get there." King replied as she gave a drink to a customer

"If you wouldn't mind" Naruto smiled as he slipped into a chair and enjoyed the sight

'Just because she isn't mine doesn't mean I can't enjoy a lovely sight.' Naruto started onto the path of no return, the one enjoyed by his forefathers.

"I have been informed that Ryu will be a participant and even Terry Bogard will be there. He is the one you have to be vary off. With his participation, most people assume the winner is decided unless he makes a mistake."

"Must be one heck of a guy"

"You don't half of it, this guy has done all and been part of it all. From crime lords to fantasy fighters, his power has been tested and increases every battle that he takes part in.

Ryu is close but just not strong and experienced as him." King replied in a calm manner as she observed his expression and smiled

"I like this guy, do you think he will join my team."

"He is a team leader in KOF so highly doubt that." King shook her head; she had also received an invitation but wasn't interested in joining. Even the current KOF, she didn't think it was important as it was highly unlikely that she will get the billion dollar price

'I hope Chizuru doesn't call me up to tell me shit has gone down.'

"Damn, I guess I can try beating him into submission." Naruto said in a soft tone

"What?" King stopped looked towards him

"Nothing, I said that I try befriending him." Naruto smiled as he slipped away to the back and take a shower

"Are you not going to tell him that I am joining?" Ryo asked as he looked at King

"Does it make a difference? Terry will beat you regardless."

"Ouch, that hurt. I thought you believed in me." Ryo feigned pain

"Just learn from this experience and make Yuri concentrate on one thing deeply, she was too scatterbrained last time."

"I am trying" Ryo shrugged his shoulders; he couldn't be too harsh on his only sibling and family. They have always been alone and he is the one she looks up to.

'But I can't let her waste away her talent.'

"She is better than us" King commented to help make Ryo more focused on this task as Yuri was still weaker than them because she learned too many things and gave them up halfway

'A waste of talent, we can't let this continue. I hope she learns more in this tournament.'

----------------------------------------

While the duo were discussing about their sister, Naruto had entered the room and took of his clothes that had seen better days.

'I need new clothes. Actually, I need to buy a house and get a fixed earning.' Naruto thought about the money he got from beating up thugs and the rewards from King

It wasn't much but he still had some from his world, some of the coins were pure gold so it didn't matter if they knew about his currency or not.

Naruto didn't like being a burden so he planned to just ask King to find him a place nearby, he didn't mind buying homes in different places.

The thought excited him as it was quite interesting since he didn't even have a proper home back in Konoha as nobody would have sold him their property.

'I just realized that the fox hadn't made any noise for some time.' Naruto decided to check his soul space and was surprised

It was empty white space, nothing more.

"Where did he go?" Naruto was worrying now, his heart beat increased and continued to run around aimlessly

'Did he stay behind?'

'Did the teleportation send it to another world?'

'Did it kill the fox?'

"Calm down, nothing has gone boom so it should be fine. I should just enjoy the freedom now." Naruto took in deep breathes and realized why his chakra control had increased suddenly

-----------------------------------------

On the outside, Naruto had entered the bathroom n.a.k.e.d and stopped near the sink when he entered the mindscape.

He was not alone as a woman had been using the place.

A woman with short blond hair and blue eyes, a very shapely and attractive form looked at the n.a.k.e.d Naruto with awkwardness as she realized that the guy was lost in his thoughts.

Mary Ryan also known as Blue Mary didn't know if she should be glad or annoyed at the fact that the guy was not seeing her n.a.k.e.d body.

"You are lucky or I would have broken your legs for this." Mary muttered as she walked towards the door but at that time Naruto woke up and slipped as he had a hard time adjusting to normal colors after the endless white

Naruto balanced himself quickly and his eyes stopped on Mary, he had never learned to look away but to stare with appreciation.

'Yes, you are doing a fine job my pupil.' Naruto thought that Jiraiya would say

"Sorry, I didn't know that someone was using it. King didn't tell me about it." Naruto said with haste

"Why don't you look away now?"

"It is hard looking away from such a beautiful form" Naruto replied as he closed his eyes

Mary felt the genuine in his voice but it didn't change the fact that he literally ate her up with his eye balls.

"Perv" Mary muttered as she knocked his shoulder to cause slight pain but only got pain in return

'Didn't think that his body would that hard'

"Are you okay? Please avoid trying to attack me. I know you are strong but unless you charge Ki, your body won't harm me in the least." Naruto advised apologetically which sounded so condescending

'I can't believe even kindness could feel so disrespectful.' Mary thought as she felt it sting when she heard the gentleness in his voice

"Fine just be careful next time." Mary said as she walked out

"What's your name?"

"Mary"

"Naruto"

-----------------------------------

In another part of the city, Naruto's enforced clone had come across another ninja.

"Are you Mr. Uzumaki?" A girl with a ninja suit said in inquisitive tone

"Yes, are you with Guy?" Naruto replied as the only ninja he knew was Guy

"Affirmative"

"And?" Naruto asked as he sat on the edge of the rooftop of a tall building

"I wish to follow you. Guy said I could learn something new and this way we can approve of you as a friend."

Naruto looked at the girl, she reminded him of Anko with her revealing style. She was dressed as a ninja but one that was being sent for that kind of mission.

'I wonder if she knows that.'

"Okay, just call me Naruto."

"Ibuki, would you please have a spar with me?" Ibuki requested as she looked at him earnestly

"Okay but be careful, this will hurt a lot." Naruto replied as he got up and his hand stretched forward, with moves like lightning he caught her clothes and dragged her to him

"Now the battle is over" Naruto muttered as he gave her a bear hug

'It feels really good to hug her small body.' Naruto thought as he increased the pressure

"Do you give up?" Naruto said near to her ears

"That was not fair" Ibuki said as Naruto let go after she nodded

"We are ninja, nothing is fair in battle." Naruto replied as he decided to move on the streets and enjoy some fights to build up experience for his boss
