Korra yanked Naruto back onto the side of the used-to-be doorframe, which had now become a foothold of sorts.

Naruto looked down the hallway, which was now a fifty foot fall. "Woah..."

Korra nodded, and pointed down where Naruto was looking. "Yeah, I know! We tipped the building!"

Naruto looked at her. "What? Why?"

Korra thought strategically about how to answer that question without making herself sound like a complete idiot. "There was a lever. And... Meelo pulled it, and then the building started going underground. So, we all tried to keep it above ground. Obviously, it's hard enough that we they can't do it for long, so let's go!"

Korra jumped down, and landed on another doorframe that had the door open, when she looked back up to see that Naruto was still standing there. "Well? We need to get you out of here!"

Naruto shook his head, and looked up into the hallway he personally had come from. "Not yet. When I passed by the all those rooms to get to this one, I heard a faint humming from inside one. And when I was in sage mode, I felt a large power source somewhere here. I don't know what it does, but I need to get to it." He looked back down at Korra. "You go on ahead! I'll meet you outside!"

Korra was about to argue, when she suddenly instead nodded. "Ok, but don't get captured again!"

Naruto pointed to his chest confidently. "What? That's impossible! Cause I'm the guy who defeated Pein!"

Korra rolled her eyes, but a smile crept onto her face. "Then what are you waiting for? Get going!"

Naruto nodded, and narrowed his eyes, as he jumped onto a wall, and began running up it.

Korra watched him till he went out of her site. She then looked down, and continued her descent.


Naruto jumped and ran, and jumped and ran down the various hallways this base contained. 'Why does every evil lair have to be a maze of some sort?' He thought to himself. 'Why can't they just make it straight forward with a big sign on each door?'

But he couldn't dwell on unimportant things right now. He had to find that power source. He didn't know why he did, but he did.

He was about to jump to another wall, when his sage mode abruptly ran out, and he had a sudden surge of lose in energy.

Naruto crumbled off his foothold, and began falling.

Luckily, he recovered his wits in time to throw a kunai with a wire attached to it, and when it stuck to the wall, he gripped it firmly.

Naruto breathed a sigh of relief.

And then he climbed up the wire to continue his wall running.


He began hearing a faint humming sound, just like when he passed through this hallway before.

He gritted his teeth, and hurried along as fast as his chakra-infused sandals could take him.

And then... there was the door.

He stopped at a locked door, which had a sign on it. 'CAUTION. DO NOT ENTER.' He smirked. "What do you know? Bad guys do have signs on their doors."

Naruto tried turning the door handle. It didn't turn, so he decided the door was locked for sure.

He kicked at it, and nearly fell over 20 stories. No luck.

He grabbed a kunai from his bag. It had a paper bomb on it, so, he umped back to the other wall, and threw it at the door.

It sizzled, and exploded like they all do.

Naruto jumped back to the door, and found that it now was open.

He ran inside.

He was ready to either fall and have to throw another kunai with a wire attached to it at the wall, or land gracefully on a platform or foothold of some sort.

But neither one was needed.

When he entered the room, his feet landed on a metal walkway that led to the center of the room.

This was the only walkway to it, and as he looked around, he discovered that this room was unaffected by the tipping of the building.

He did the only thing Naruto Uzumaki would do, and he walked forward to the dangerous part.
