 It's been eight months since Naruto was stuck inside of the prison.

Another day of being stuck in here.. Naruto was snapped out of his thoughts when a white humanoid being seemed to come out of the floor. It had green hair and yellow eyes. Naruto widened his eyes and shook with all of his might, trying to get away from it. The humanoid grabbed Naruto and transported him to some odd place.

When he looked up, he saw a strange, brown, wooden humanoid object that sat cross-legged, with shackles that bounded its ankles and wrists together, and had several odd protrusions that came from its upper back. Its eyes were covered with a white blindfold.

In front of the being, however, sat an old man with waist-length, spiky gray hair

In front of the being, however, sat an old man with waist-length, spiky gray hair. He had a gaunt face with wrinkles. His eyes, however, were shocking and oddly mesmerizing. They were a light purple, with several concentric circles coming from the small pupil in the center.

"Where am I?" Naruto asked. The place was oddly depressing. The ambiance was so dark and had a feeling of finality to it. And that man who sat in that chair.. he had a stem coming from his back that was connected to the odd statue. In the aforementioned statue was something that looked a bit like the First Hokage.

"You are in the realm between life and death." The man answered Naruto. The man was so old, but he radiated such an air of power.

"You're death?!" Naruto shouted with wide eyes.

"I am an Uchiha ghost." The man identified as Madara answered.

He can't be an Uchiha.. I've never seen an Uchiha who looks like him.. Naruto thought.

"Your a rogue ninja, aren't you?"

"I am Madara Uchiha."

"You can't be Madara! He died a long time ago!"

"So you're more likely to believe that I'm death." Naruto went quiet after Madara came up with his retort. "If I wasn't continuously siphoning chakra from the Gedo Mazō behind me, I would've died."

"Why did you take me here, old man?" Naruto asked. Madara seemed slightly irritated that he was being called an old man, but he still answered nonetheless.

"To sever the fate of this world; to create a world of only peace and love. If you want to leave, so be it. But it will not be without a price."

I guess I have nothing going on in Konoha.. I should stay.

"Fine." Naruto replied. Two beings sprouted from the ground; they both looked like they were crafted in the image of the one who took Naruto. However, one had random white sprigs that grew from its hip, and the other one did not have hair; its face was a spiral design.

"These things will help you train. They are called Zetsu." Madara explained. 

"We are the ones that are in charge of you!" They both said in unison. Naruto's eyes sparkled as he said, "Now I can be strong enough to protect the people I love!"

And so, for the next 2 years, Naruto trained under Madara and Zetsus' tutelage.
