Chapter 45 What's going on here?
Back then, they were just a bunch of talentless Genin-level ninjas, he wouldn't admit that he was the only one who had the least talent back then. Though Kakashi was a lousy teacher, he was a great Shinobi and friend. He would be happy to see him now as a teacher protecting his students and that was enough for him.
"Right, Kakashi-sensei?" He closed his eyes and smiled till he reached his front door and his smile disappeared instantly. The doorknob was unlocked and he was hundred percent sure he had locked it.
Magic couldn't get past his defensive seal, the only thing that could work was brute force or explosives, and there wasn't a dent or burn on the door. He gently twisted the knob and summoned four shurikens, which were placed in-between his fingers. The scent of ramen hit his nose as he opened the door to peer inside.
"Who the...?"
"Come on in, Naruto-chan," a female voice from the kitchen cut Naruto abruptly.
"I thought you said you were an only child," another female voice, this one familiar, said.
"Kuroka,"
He swung the door open and walked in heading straight for the kitchen. A woman with long silky beige gray hair was mixing something on his counter with her back turned to him and Kuroka was on one of the chairs sitting in a lax manner.
"What are..."
"Take a seat," again the stranger cut him off.
"Why didn't you tell me you have an older sister?" Kuroka questioned.
Naruto squinted at the stranger, there was something off about her; her presence itself screamed beauty and power but it all felt suppressed. He tried to enter Sage Mode to get a feel of what she was but when potent Nature energy flooded his system, his eyes widened to epic proportions when he finally recognized who it was.
Kuroka sat upright when she saw the changes in Naruto's eyes and kept her guard up. His eyes change when he draws Nature's energy. Whoever this person was, she might be dangerous. With her analysis done, she appeared beside Naruto and created a magic circle.
"I made your favorite," she said as she turned around.
"G-Gaia! What are you doing here!?" he exclaimed.
"Hora, Don't you like me anymore?" She asked with feigned sadness
"That's not the case, I'm just surprised to see you. In the flesh," he replied as he tried to placate her.
"It's good to meet you too. In the flesh," she eye-smiled.
Kuroka watched them both with a raised eyebrow.
"What's going on here?"

After she was finished with her business, she summoned a magic circle which brought her to Naruto's front door.
Expecting to see the blonde man, she found his door wide open with no sign of Naruto. At first, she was sad, she looked forward to annoying him to no end but in her wallow, a noise coming from his room caught her attention. Like a curious cat, she entered the room thinking maybe it was a burglar but found something worse, A naked woman searching for one of Naruto's shirts from his wardrobe. Thinking the worst, The black-haired beauty almost blew a gasket before the woman assured her it wasn't what she thought it was. She, the woman, explained who she was and Kuroka was skeptical at first but she later calmed down. She decided to stay until Naruto came home to verify who she was and now, she had no doubts anymore.
"How did you get here?" Naruto asked as he sat on one of the chairs.
"I'll tell you about that later but first.." She dropped a steaming bowl of ramen and chopsticks on the table.
"And you too, Kuroka." She dropped another.
Naruto inhaled the aroma and gave a nod of satisfaction. He split his chopsticks apart and stirred the broth
"I didn't know you had a girlfriend." The Shinobi choked on his spit and beat his chest.
"Girlfriend? More like a Menace," he stated and swallowed a mouthful of ramen.
"You blonde bastard!" Naruto ignored her jab and kept on slurping ramen.
"That wasn't nice, Naruto-chan," Kuroka agreed with Gaia by gritting her teeth.
"Would it kill you to say 'how have you been' or 'I missed you', hm?" Kuroka asked with rising exasperation.
"Miss you? Did hell freeze over?" he asked her.
"Naruto! That's.."
"Is it that time of the month?"
"What time?"
"That time when you guys have mood swings and..." He did a circular motion with chopsticks in the air.
"You're going to die today." The Nekoshou didn't have a clue about what he meant but when she finally grasped what he meant, she was furious.
Kuroka pointed her hands at Naruto and a purple magic circle hovered over her palms. Naruto beat her to it though.
"Ninpo: Genjutsu!" Kuroka slumped back to the chair, unconscious. Gaia shrugged her shoulders and started a conversation with Naruto.
"I've always wanted to do this."
"Do what?"
"Help you somehow."
"You've helped me plenty." His lips curved up a bit.
"How did you get out?" he asked the burning question.
"I'm still not fully out, this is just the lowest form I could take without letting my grandchildren know about my escape."
"Oh."
"What did you do to her?"
"I put her under an illusion," he explained while staring at Kuroka who was out cold on the Floor, and released a tiny burst of chakra. The black-haired beauty released a groan as the effect of the Jutsu wore off. She yawned like a cat and sat back in her seat.
"Are you gonna eat that?" he pointed at her ramen.
"Yes!"
"Here's another bowl for you, Naruto-chan." Naruto eagerly accepted the bowl and blew raspberries at her.
Naruto kept on making fun of Kuroka with Gaia observing and throwing her two cents from time to time. For the first, the house was bubbling with noise as a Nekoshou turned devil and a Goddess and a displaced ninja conversed into the night and Naruto liked it if the smirk on his face as he teased Kuroka was something to go by. The Uzumaki Mansion would never remain the same and Naruto loved it like that.

(Flashback)
"How do I do this?" Naruto asked himself.
It's been a month since Naruto landed in this strange world and he was about to make a huge leap that could affect himself and the strange world he was currently in.
