Story Start!
Naruto wasn't having a great week.First, his student quit, a student who he had high hopes for overall. Sure she was very lacking in many areas, and she was practically talentless... the girl had zero talent, but she was a hard worker and would achieve whatever she set her mind on through sheer hard work. He didn't care if his students had talent, skill, or ability.
It was a teacher's job to give those to a student.
Second, the Otsutsuki.
'Himawari better still be alive when I get back.' Naruto floated towards Earth at a high speed.
His little output of too much chakra had led a duo of Otsutsuki right to this Universe, they had sensed powerful chakra. The Dimensional Gap served as a great outlet for his chakra, but when he used too much chakra and shrank the Dimensional Gap, that made the outlet for his chakra smaller and thus made it easier for the Otsutsuki to sense this Universe's location. Usually, a slip up here or there was not a problem.
Bad luck though.
This time, a pair of Otsutsuki had been only 1 Universe away from him when his chakra surged, which meant that they were close enough to easily sense him.
He had spent the last 3 days fighting them, and what sucked was that they weren't Side-Clan Otsutsuki, they were Main-Clan Otsutsuki. They were powerful Otsutsuki older than he himself was, who had absorbed and stolen the power of multiple universes each. Not to mention, as Main clan members, they worked as a pair and when the 'child' was in danger the 'parent' would give their soul to them to eat. The transfer of power would multiply their power greatly, making them a severe challenge.
Naruto landed on the top of his mountain and powered down.
He could use chakra without attracting them, but if Naruto allowed his power to surge outside of his body or just out of control for even a second, then that would attract them.
Naruto's clothes were in tatters.
His left arm was heavily damaged, to the point that his muscle and bone was visible.
His legs both had horrible burns on them.
His chest had a hole blasted through his right lung, and blood flowed out of his mouth freely because of that unfortunate injury, and he was walking with a nasty limp because of the broken bones in his legs.
"... Those who were... horribly strong... damn, wish Sasuke was here. Taking these bastards on myself, without my teammate... not counting you Tailed Beasts in me of course..." Naruto bonked himself on the head, since he wasn't completely alone. The Otsutsuki worked in pairs when they were higher ranked, and because of that he had been fighting two monsters all by himself.
He had spent the first 2 days fighting the two of them as a pair.
He had spent the 3rd day fighting the Super Otsutsuki, who was the fused version of when the Child ate the Parent. If he had Sasuke with him, he could have taken both of them, Super form or not, down in maybe 10 minutes at the most. Well, fighting these two had been horrible more so because they were just a really bad match up for him. These two Otsutsuki had abilities that were tailor made to defeating him.
Countless planets had been destroyed by the battle.
"Uuuuuuh... the Midget Dragon is here." Naruto complained under his breath when he saw familiar tiny footsteps leading up to the temple, small footsteps in the dirt that could only belong to one tiny person. "Great, this week gets better... that midget timed this so..." Naruto sighed and walked towards where she would be waiting for him.
