The Unwanted Uzumaki

A New Companion

Naruto stepped through the portal that he had opened up within his room within Fairy Tail and though he had said his farewells before he did so, he didn't expect for the goodbyes to be so painful. Though since he didn't want to dwell to much on the feelings of sadness that were bubbling up within him, he decided that it would be best to focus on the future and not the past and since he plans on returning to Fiore in the future; he knows that he will meet with his friends once again. 

As Naruto fully came back into the world that he was born into, he saw that he had entered the Elemental Nations in the same room that he had drawn the design that had allowed him to travel to Fiore. Though he assumed that this would be where he entered in, it was nice to see that his theory was proved right. When Naruto was sure that all his companions had made their own way through the portal, Naruto allowed it to collapse in on itself before making his way from the room so he could see that state that the library was in after his time away. 

Thankfully, when Naruto did so; he saw that all five of the prisoners that he had were keeping up with the maintenance that the building needed which told him that they were at least behaving for Ryu. Making his way through the library, Naruto saw that the slaves had cleared away much of the debris that was making it impossible to enter in some of the rooms on the lower floor which meant that it would now be possible for him to search for new Celestial Spirits within these rooms. 

Once this thought had finished running its course through Naruto's mind, he heard a noise coming from inside one of the rooms that had been unblocked thanks to the hard work done by those Naruto had imprisoned. 

Wondering what this noise could be, Naruto made his way towards this room and since at the moment he wasn't in danger; his Celestial Spirits decided that they would allow him to do so on his own. Thanks to the cleanliness that was within the library, Naruto was able to make the trek towards the door that was keeping whatever was causing the noise contained in a rather quick fashion. 

Though Naruto knew that there could be danger hidden behind the door, he was lost in his excitement at the possibility of meeting a new Celestial Spirt and as such; he rushed in his movements of opening the door to the room. By doing this, Naruto was able to see that Ryu was within the room and from the way that the room was put together; it was clear that Ryu has been training within it. 

Ryu wasn't the only one within the room since there were also two Celestial Spirits, one of which Naruto was already familiar with. The other spirit was one that Naruto was having difficulty telling the gender of since the form of the being seemed as if it was constantly changing. Upon hearing the noise that Naruto caused from opening the door, all three figures turned towards him and from the smile that jumped upon Ryu's face; Naruto knew that the other male was quite thrilled by his return. 

Immediately, Ryu was sprinting towards the blond Mage that had entered the room and once he reached Naruto; he flung his arms around him. "Thank the heavens that you have finally returned! I have missed seeing you around the library!" Ryu cried out as he continued grasping Naruto in a bone crushing hug. 

Though Naruto was hoping that the hug would end extremely shortly so he could breathe fully once more, he too missed Ryu dearly which is the cause for him returning the embrace even though he wished it too end. Thankfully, a few seconds after Naruto had returned Ryu's hug with one of his own; Naruto felt the release of the embrace which allowed oxygen to rush into his lungs once more. Once Naruto had regained his breathing ability, he responded to the words that Ryu had spoken. "I have missed you dearly as well Ryu and though I will miss Fiore and those that I have met within that world, I am quite pleased with my return as well. Though I see that you have made a new friend while I was away."
