Naruto: The Prince of Lust

"He did," Naruto replies before adding, "but so did the Kyūbi," with a smack to his stomach.

Nearly gasping, he asks, "truly?"

"Yup," Naruto enunciates with a hard P. "He said since all bijū are half nature and half something else, I've been exposed to it for a long time."

Curious thick and gray brows draw together as Pa asks, "something else?"

"He wouldn't say," Naruto asserts with a shrug. "But he said all the bijū have an affinity for natural energy, which is probably why it doesn't feel all that impossible for me."

"There's some logic there, and if true, that's quite the benefit for you," Pa hums. "Let's grab some grub. Ma's cooking the good worms for you today."

His stomach lurches at the thought of eating more of Ma's worm soup. Smiling politely, Naruto shyly admits, "you know, I can just wait for you here- AH!"

Raising his brow in concern, Pa asks, "what?"

"Naru-nii is here," Naruto gratefully declares. "I should…"

"Of course, of course," Pa chimes with a wave of his webbed feet. "Tell him we say hello and thank you."

"Will do," Naruto responds before taking his mediation pose and mentally greeting, 'yo! Perfect timing. I nearly had to eat more of Ma's cooking!'

Naruto can almost sense his future counterparts need to hurl, sounding, 'Ugh… the worms,' across Naruto's mind. 'I'm here for ya man,' Naru-nii sternly promises.

'They say hello by the way,' Naruto readily passes on.

'Cool,' Naru-nii comments. 'It's weird how other people know about me now.'

'I know,' Naruto agrees, shifting in his stone seat. 'Ero-sennin actually took it pretty hard but I think he's better now. I can't tell if it's a good thing or not. Makes me wonder about who else we should tell.'

'Yeah, same here, but I think coming clean is for the best,' Naru-nii slowly and objectively voices. 'Doing this by ourselves doesn't feel right, which only means that some people need to know.'

'Here's hoping,' Naruto mumbles.

'We gotta talk about the Hiraishin,' Naru-nii proclaims. Naruto perks up as his future self adds, 'not sure if we have enough time though, which is pretty funny.'

Naruto chuckles at the irony of not having enough time to talk about a time extending technique before asking, 'what's up?'

'So, you know the time expansion at the heart of the contract? Not the chakra imitating gravity part-"

As a bird lands on his shoulder, Naruto mentally asks, 'the equation? T=To/√1-V²/C²?'

'Yeah,' Naru-nii answers before further adding, 'breaking down the guts of this tech doesn't quite fit with how Tou-chan described it.'

'You know,' Naruto hums recalling that odd feeling. 'At the time I was just super stoked to be talking to Tou-chan so I hadn't noticed, but when I was repeating it back to you, I did think something wasn't adding up. I'm pretty sure I wrote it out right.'

'Yeah, you did,' Naru-nii assures him. 'Looking over it, it should work fine. It's just how tou-chan worded it that threw me a bit.'

'What'cha got?'

'Nothing too difficult,' Naru-nii answers. Like a gut instinct, Naruto doesn't need to really think when he hears Naru-nii orate with technical accuracy, 'T, which is time, equals To, which is the time recorded on earth, over √one minus V², which is velocity-squared, over C². C is, obviously, the speed of light, which is then squared.'

Nodding in total understanding, Naruto allows his intuition to speak the pictures in his head, easily plugging in, 'T is the time I move in relative to others. To is the time recorded of the people on the earth, which is a relatively slower velocity than me. V is the velocity of the earth. C is the speed of light.'

'Right,' Naru-nii agrees before voicing, 'so, if I need your speed—T— within the tunnel created by the gravity function to be faster than everyone else's—To—outside the tunnel, then I need to solve for velocity to make the speed you move at—relative to everyone else—closer to the speed of light so that from your perspective, everyone'll look like they're frozen.'

'Sounds like how I wrote it,' Naruto thoughtfully points out, easily recalling the formula. 'There's also the gravitational function of the Fūin contract which uses my chakra to create a hole in space-time I can pass through—the tunnel—which is going to take a lot of chakra.'

'I think that's the info tou-chan was mixed up on,' Naru-nii voices with mild concern. 'Like, I know he didn't have a lot of time to explain everything, but he didn't even mention how you can make the distance you 'teleport' feel shorter by adding more chakra to condense the tunnel you're traveling through. Imagine how much easier it'll be spending minutes inside the Hiraishin instead of hours to 'instantly' 'teleport' to Suna or somewhere far.'

'You think there's any chance I can see him again,' Naruto asks before elaborating, 'you know, just to tell him?'

'Kami do I wish there was,' Naru-nii sadly confesses. A moment of silence passes between the orphaned blonds before the future Naruto adds, 'I never say never, but…'

'…Yeah,' Naruto agrees with a dour tone. Another bird lands on his shoulder before he moves away from that sore ache in his heart. 'Um, yeah, so, that gravity energy part is my chakra manipulating mass and warping matter around me which lets me pass through solid objects and space in an 'instant.''

'You got it,' Naru-nii agrees as if they're one mind. 'Basically, the laws of nature say that Space is a three-dimensional spectrum that provides us with length, width, and height. Time is the fourth dimension and offers a forward direction to that spectrum, thus a space-time continuum. Gravity is a curve in space-time, which means gravity can bend time and space, so according to this Fūin contract, your chakra, acting like gravitational energy, warps matter around you like a hole.'

'I wonder what the tunnel's going to look like,' Naruto casually muses. 'I'm imagining one of those funny mirrors, you know, the warped ones that make everything look twisted or curved but more circular,' Naruto postulates, tilting his head so the birds momentarily flap away before returning.

'Same here,' Naru-nii chuckles. 'It'll be super heavy moving through that tunnel so you'll really need to train your ass off if you don't want to be crushed to death. The faster you can get through the tunnel, the less chakra you need to use.'
