Chapter 2

'So I am definitely not in our world anymore.' Naruto concluded as he sat on top a building, looking down at the city below. He had arrived in Tokyo by taking the train or riding on top of it as he remembered seeing something similar in Land of Spring.

He had managed to find a map and it was completely foreign to him. The structure of the land was different; the continents were smaller and more than he remembered.

'Now how do I get back? Does anyone have power over space or something?' Naruto questioned as he was feeling depressed. He was far from home and had no way to return, there was no good news except the fact that the fox had disappeared as well.

'Hopefully it doesn't return home either or rampages in this world because I am not sure if I can stop it.' Naruto sighed as he watched the night scenery while eating a sandwich that he had swiped

He had no ID and was unsure of where to go, no money so he had ended up turning to stealing.

As he was finishing his dinner, Naruto sensed a strong life force and looked at the streets to find a large strange looking man.

A large dark skinned man with a blonde Mohawk; it was an unusual sight to behold. Naruto was weirded by the fashion of this man but didn't comment as he didn't know much about the subject either.

'At least I am not that bad.' Naruto thought as he decided to follow the man that was heading for a bar at the far right corner

As Naruto neared the place he could feel another stronger force from inside. The name of the bar was Illusion and Naruto was curious about the person inside as they had the largest energy source he had felt till now.

'Guy was physically stronger but this person has a larger reserve of that energy.' Naruto thought as he decided to enter

Naruto dropped onto the streets and transformed into a normal person, he walked out of the alleyway and entered the bar.

It was a peaceful place unlike those party joints and the customers were enjoying the soft music while talking, dancing or drinking.

Naruto looked towards his target and found a woman dressed in male clothing while the man he followed was sitting in front of her.

"Come on love, why won't you give me a chance." Birdie asked as he looked at King

King stopped to look at him and responded, "Have you looked into a mirror? Let's forget about your looks and go to the main point, I am just not interested and you will never be the one even if I was. So stop disturbing me or else I will send you to the hospital."

"I have been nice to you for too long that you actually think you are good enough to fight me. Do you even know who am I?" Birdie exclaimed loudly as he smashed the chair causing the place to quite down

Naruto was about to interfere when King moved, she kicked Birdie on the shoulder with an axe kick and he was down on the floor with his bones creaking.

Naruto saw that unlike Birdie, King utilized the energy properly and strengthened her attack while Birdie's attempt was instinctive.

��Stop causing trouble or I break your limbs this time. I know who you are and it matters not." King said as she jumped back to her side and indicated for everyone to continue with their activities

Birdie was enraged but he was sure that he will be in a world of pain so he walked away and Naruto followed.

"I will definitely make her pay. No one gets away with hurting Birdie. I will just inform that bastard Balrog and she will come running to Birdie." Birdie planned as he left the bar

Naruto felt that the man was truly incompetent and not really important nor evil to a degree that he should care.

'It will be a waste of time to follow him.' Naruto concluded and went back inside, and sat down in front of King

"Hello, my name is Naruto. May I know your name?" Naruto said in a friendly tone

"You have guts and strength to attempt the same thing or you are just not right in the head." King said in a calm tone as she looked at him and her eyes widened

'What power, how did I not feel it before?' King was shocked as she felt the strength emanating from Naruto as he didn't have good control

'An enemy or just an admirer.'

"I just want to be friends so I don't need guts for such a thing. I want to ask what that energy you used was." Naruto replied as he analyzed King and knew that she was not a threat

"Ki, the energy formed from the physical force of a body and requires extensive training to acquire unless you are a blessed individual." King replied as she didn't feel any danger from Naruto. She had lived in a very dangerous city before and gotten used to such people so she was good at judging people.

"Thank you for the honest answer and I am sorry to disturb you but do you know the Ki users in this world and where to find them. What kind of abilities do they have?"

"I know some not many and I can't share their information as it is private. If you want to see different abilities then wait for the King Of fighters tournament." King said in calm tone as she readied a drink

"King of fighters?"

"King of fighters is a tournament, which gathers the strongest fighters from all around the world. You can see many strange abilities in this tournament so I will say it is your best guess. The last tournament finished on a bad note but it made it a worldwide phenomenon so it will be even bigger this time.

But you will need reputation to gain an invitation and I have never heard your name so you will have to enter small tournaments and street fights to gain the acknowledgment of the people." King explained while she had her assistants handle the business as Naruto was more of a concern

'He looks like a rookie not knowing about Ki and with that abysmal control as he doesn't seem like person to throw his presence around. But then his posture shows good combat experience, weird.'

Naruto took in her words and thought about it. The method was something he would enjoy as he likes to fight with people in a playful manner and he can find about what he wants as well without looking around the world.

"Thanks for the explanation and do you know of any tournament I can enter now." Naruto asked as he took a sip from the banana smoothie

"There are two going on tonight in the neighborhood but I will recommend one as the other one is a bit too dangerous. But first you should control your energy as its leaking from your body."

Naruto felt his body and could see that his chakra was leaking from his body in miniscule amounts so he closed his eyes and shut it inside his body.

"Sorry, I just have bad control so it happens sometimes."

"No problem at least it's not bad enough to cause damage to the surroundings. Now for the fight, there is one going close by where you can fight against Zangief to prove your mettle. He is very strong and durable but his fighting style isn't that hard to fight against, even then you have to be careful as one hit from him will be worse than ten hits from me."

"Is that so? Can you win against him?"

King stared at him pointedly and guessed that he meant she was weaker than him so if she can beat Zangief than it won't be a problem.

"6 out of 10"

"So he is strong, I will check him out. Would beating him gain me enough rep."

"No, just beating one guy isn't enough. Maybe he was just a bad match up for you so you need to beat different fighters and find team mates as KOF is a team tournament not solo." King replied with a smile, she was curious now about the boy he reminded her of Terry and Ryo

"Will you join me if I ask?"

King chuckled, "You should work on your reputation first and then we will see. I haven't decided if I will join or not."

Naruto smiled and stood up, "Thanks I will pay you back for this favor."

Naruto left a wad of cash and left, he didn't know about the currency and just put down the money as it didn't matter to him.

'He stole that money didn't he.' King didn't know if she should report him or not for petty crime as it could lead to bigger problem just like what would happen if someone reported Akuma or the Mishima's

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

Naruto walked out of the bar feeling a bit refreshed as he got to talk someone nice and beautiful.

'I wonder how good she is.' Naruto thought as he walked towards the location King had told him

The fight was in an underground ring and fighting Zangief was one of the qualification requirements for the Underworld tourney put together by the Kingpin.

To Naruto the location was very close as he moved at speeds faster than sound by multiples though he felt that he was barely moving at 1% is original speed as his maximum had become mach 5 from Mach 150.

'I don't know what happened and why I lost speed but gained more physical strength.' Naruto was confused and it raised more questions in his mind at the situation. He wasn't surprised at the rise of his chakra since the Kyuubi was gone; it meant the chakra used to contend with the Kyuubi was finally free. His chakra reserves were monstrous and even beyond most tail beasts as Kurama had helped it grow beyond mortal limits that even Hashirama Senju was lower in reserves then Naruto.

'I should probably learn to control my techniques now as the Kyuubi is gone. I will finally be able to use genjutsu if I train hard but first I should make the rasengan with one hand and practice the high speed movement along with elemental control and replacement jutsu.' Naruto's thoughts went to improvement as his mind was filled with thoughts of fighting

He wasn't worried about his world since he didn't know about the threats and assumed they will be worried about him but nothing else and he was working towards returning. Worrying would be pointless so he just wanted to focus without stress as it will lower his productivity.

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

"Sir, please enter." The guard in casual clothing greeted Naruto with respect as he was in the shape of King

'So she must have time when she hid her gender.�� Naruto concluded from the one sentence as no one would dare call King a man with that figure

Naruto nodded and walked downstairs, changing to Kakashi's form as he went through the dark stairs.

It was a party, Naruto could see a crowd of people mixing and doing inappropriate things and enjoying the violence with no rules.

Naruto looked at the cage where a giant of a man was smashing a poor man into the ground, it looked really painful and Naruto heard his spine snap.

The man was dead as he hit the ground but no one showed sign of panic and screamed in excitement.

'These people are crazy. No value for life at all.' Naruto scowled in disgust as he walked towards the stage

"Next, is there anyone who dares fight me?" Zangief called out in a loud voice filled with ferocity

"I do"

"Who?" Zangief looked at Naruto with his weird appearance

"Good, I hope you have the strength to back up the confidence." Zangief smiled as he looked at filled with fighting spirit

"I hope you are not just big lump of meat and actually have the strength to back up that confidence." Naruto responded which made Zangief glare at him as Naruto was just a no name fighter in his eyes

"No more chit chat" Zangief said as he bull rushed Naruto to hit him with a lariat

Naruto saw the slow attack and realized that even though he was stronger than King, she would win most of the time because of the speed difference.

"Too slow" Naruto muttered as he passed though the opening and kicked his back

It was the first time fighting an opponent that didn't use Ninjutsu and rasengan was just too destructive so he forgot that his hits are not that strong. His kick carried a large force to kill an elephant but Zangief was beyond that and he was barely bruised by the move.

Zangief was pushed into the cage and realigned himself, 'Fast and strong, I will have to catch him in a hold or else this battle might be lost.'

Naruto stood still and thought more on his fighting style as he didn't want to kill him but he needed to put him down.

'I will have to enhance my strength but need to be careful not too much.' Naruto decided and moved before Zangief could even react.

The whole arena was silent as Zangief was blown away with a hit to hit stomach and broke through the cage, hitting the wall at the back and injuring some guests.

He had a fist deeply pressed onto his skin and his bones most likely broke on impact, and he was barely alive at the moment.

"OOOHHH" The crowd screamed in excitement at a new challenger in the field of fighters, the battle was being recorded and many in the underworld had seen the scene.

Shadaloo, NEST, Mishima and many more, this was asking for trouble as the fight showed that it was clearly one-sided with Naruto showing that it was a mistake.

'Shit, I couldn't control it right. I hope he lives.' Naruto cursed in his mind and disappeared from the scene with full speed, causing the curiosity to deepen as the cameras used in the place were of the highest quality and should have been able to follow a target moving at Mach 1.

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

"What do you think of that, Young Master?" A woman with a sensual body asked as she sat on the left said of man with red hair

"He is good and I will enjoy a fight with him." The man replied as purple flames sparked in his hands and he got up to leave

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

Naruto stopped after he had unexpectedly reached another city in his haste as Japan was quite small and Naruto moved very fast at his full speed.

'Now where am I?' Naruto thought as he saw that the place was less crowded then before

'I should have just gone to King.' Naruto thought as he face palmed after realizing that he had been shape shifting so there is no one who would find him

'Well it's done now. I will go back once I have a look.' Naruto decided as he started walking in Asuma's appearance wearing an orange hoodie and black jeans that he had seen on the way.

Naruto walked all around the city and enjoyed the sites along with the food sold on the streets. It was fun and he got to taste so many delicacies, some that were similar to home and some that he had never seen.

He came across people of different nationalities and heard them speak strange languages. Naruto realized that he looked like one of those people from USA but spoke the language of Japan.

'These guys must have hard time communicating when there are so many languages.' Naruto mused as he ate his chips; he quite liked the place as he realized there wasn't much crime at all since he hadn't seen any across the city

As he was walking nonchalantly Naruto's eye caught movement on top of the buildings, a figure was jumping across them.

Naruto looked towards the location and found a girl wearing ninja garbs; she had low genin level energy and unknown level of power and strength.

'Weaker then Zangief and King.' Naruto concluded with a look and moved on as he wasn't interested in following the girl as it will cause trouble with her clan and clans were very touchy.

"Be careful where you walk." A voice entered his ears as he looked at his path and saw that he almost collided with a very feminine man, who was wearing red clothes and had white hair

"Sorry" Naruto apologized as he moved to the side and started moving

'The guy was very strange and I felt some danger from him.' Naruto thought as he looked back once again and saw that the man also turned back and smiled at him

The man was joined by his companions and walked away while giving him a wave of hand.

'He knows I am fighter.' Naruto was curious but felt it would be too rude to spy on people that didn't concern him

'If he is good then he will most like appear around the tournament.' Naruto concluded and decided to go back
