What's Beyond (English version)

_Unknown room_

*Snarl* Naruto was groaning as he woke up from his slumber. He didn't know how long he passed out, but his body felt stiff and his entire being hurt. But that didn't stop him from sitting on the bed. 

When he opened his eyes for the first time, he had to close them again immediately, the sunlight filtered through a window, shining directly into his eyes.

He had to blink one, two, and even three times first to adjust to the light, after that he began to observe his surroundings. 

The first thing he felt was that he was naked, he didn't feel any clothing on his body, but he did feel that some bandages covered his chest area. Where am I? - I would say it with doubt, I didn't recognize the room - How did I get here? - his last memory was getting out of the water and seeing the shadow of a boat 

So he was already forming the theory in his head, and it was that the people on the boat he saw pulled him out of the sea and saved his life, but that only generated more doubts in him but you are being the most important. Why? What did they gain from that? What did they want? And many more questions

But he was taken out of his thoughts when he heard the door being opened, it wasn't done abruptly or quickly, it was done very calmly, as if it didn't want to wake him up. 

When the door finished opening, he could see a very beautiful woman, dressed in a pink nurse's outfit, which was low-cut and you could see the front part of her chest, who had large breasts, almost the same size as Tsunade's. She had a miniskirt that barely reached her thigh. Was blonde and with light blue eyes 

 Naruto stared at her until she turned her gaze to him. Seeing him up, she first opened her eyes in amazement, or that's what it seemed to her. He ran out screaming at a certain -Marco- 

That only raised a doubt: Who was this Marco?

He got his answer, it seems that Marco is a tall, muscular, blonde man with a somewhat sleepy look on his face. He wears an open purple jacket and a light blue sash adorned with a gold-colored belt. He has long dark gray pants and black sandals; wearing on his left leg what appears to be some type of straw decoration

Oh, so you're awake boy - I would say with a calm and peaceful attitude - we found you lying on a makeshift raft, if you can call a piece of driftwood a raft - I would say this last funny 

…

…

…

Hey, brat, weren't you taught to be respectful and introduce yourself to at least those who saved your life? - although his question seems to be hasty, he still has the same calm attitude 

Naruto didn't know what to do, he was on what he thought was a ship, he didn't know who the person in front of him was. I was looking around the room looking for escape routes.

Brat, calm down, if we had wanted to hurt you, we would have done it while you were sleeping - He had to reassure the boy, he was not a Yonkou general for nothing, he noticed the young man's tense body, like that of a ready warrior and he could see in his as he looked for ways to escape - Look, I see that you don't trust me, so how about I be a vote of confidence and show up? My name is Marco, as you should have already guessed. I am White Beard's first general

White beard? - Naruto didn't know Whitebeard, well in general he didn't know anything and no one from outside the barrier of the elemental nations. So someone being called that was novel or maybe it was a nickname? Like when they called their grandfather the Kami no Shinobi 

I... I am - Naruto was hesitating what to say. What comes from under the sea and passes through a thousand-year-old barrier? Who knows? And that he is a "traitor" of his "home"

Look kid, I'm not asking you to tell me your life, I just need your name, a way to call you - Marco could see the boy's doubts, and he wasn't going to pressure him to talk. Everyone has a right to their secrets and as long as it wasn't anything that would endanger the crew everything would be fine - also calm down, this isn't an interrogation. I'm just getting to know you 

…

…

…

Still with doubts, Naruto responded, he did not want to lose a possible source of information and even an ally - My name is Naruto Uzumaki - he hoped that would be enough. 

I understand, it's a pleasure to meet you, Naruto. Could you tell me what were you doing in the middle of the sea? Please 

I tried to go sailing, emphasis on I tried. When I went on a trip, a storm hit my boat and it was destroyed and I fell off it, almost drowning. If it weren't for my will to live, I would have died.

Marco just nodded, he was good at reading people and apparently his story wasn't entirely a lie, but it wasn't the whole truth either. Where did he lie? I didn't know and that's why I was going to keep an eye on him. 

*Toss toss* Now, if I could ask my own question - I would express wanting to get at least the basic information 

Go ahead - this was good for him, if the boy asked questions from them he could more or less gauge the personality of this boy 

A moment ago you told him that you were one of the commanders of white beard TRUE? - he would ask for confirmation from Marco, which was given with a nod - but who is White Beard?

Marco just opened his eyes, how come he didn't know Whitebeard? If everyone knew his father to a greater or lesser extent- Do you seriously not know who White Beard is? Did you live under a rock all your life?

(Oh, if you only knew) - those were Naruto's thoughts - The truth is that I don't know him, the town where I lived was far from the life of the sea, so to speak. I am the first to go sailing - he would tell another half-life, it was true that within his town he was the first to leave the barrier that covers Elemental Nations 

And what do you know about sailing? - he asks, a little curious, and with hopes that the boy is not an idiot who goes crazy. 

Nothing…

Nothing?

Nothing…

Marco just put his hand on his face and wondered what wrong he had done in this life? Is this his punishment for having sex with that church sister? I didn't know it, but if that was it, -God- has a very twisted form of justice. 

*Sigh* Very good boy, I'm going to explain the basics to you - I would say with a slight migraine - Well, the world is divided into 4 seas East Blue, North Blue, West Blue and South Blue, we are in East Blue, near Loguetown, and dad is looking for possible new recruits. I belong to the crew of white beard, one of the Yonkou 4. The strongest man in the world. The other 3 are, The Strongest Creature Kaido, Big Mom or Ling Ling and finally Akagami no Shanks, do you follow me? - Naruto just nodded, until now he was understanding - Ok, White Beard is a pirate, one of the strongest and because of that, his influence in the world is that he earned and maintains his title of Yonkou. 

Wait, you mention Yonkou, but what is a Yonkou? - I would say with doubt about the meaning of that word 

I was already getting to that, you need to learn patience boy - I understand Naruto's personality better now - A Yonkou or Emperor of the Sea, are the 4 most powerful pirates of the current era. I imagine that another question you have is: Who gave them those titles? - Naruto just nodded - well, those titles are a cough for the world government, a corrupt organization that runs almost the entire world. There are still continents that are not united to it, either by its power or abilities. 

Naruto was just taking in everything Marco said, there was a lot to process. Well, the quantity of information was not too much, but its quality was. After a minute thinking everything through, he spoke again 

I understand, at least the basics 

Well, now I have another very important question. Could you answer? - Naruto just nodded, it was the least he could do- How did you heal so quickly? When we picked you up your entire body was destroyed, some bones were broken and you were about to suffer hypothermia, but not even 3 days have passed and you are already up. Those wounds were enough to keep you lying down for at least a week. 

Now Naruto was a little nervous about that. What was he going to say? My dad sealed me with a demon when I was barely 2 hours old, which gave me improved regeneration - I... healed quickly... yes... Haahaahaahaa (this is Naruto's laugh, I am inspired by Gelaro's laugh, the version of Gelato that It's Hehehehea) 

Marco only raised an eyebrow, it was true that he healed quickly, he could see it through his eyes, but then why was he nervous? Well, that wasn't his problem anymore. 

Okay boy, I'm going to send for clothes for you, dad wants to talk to you - He's sure dad wants him to join - So wait until the nurse you saw arrives with a change of clothes and guides you towards the bow of the boat - He finished as he left of the room 

At the same time the blonde nurse arrived with a change of new clothes, left her on a chair and also left to let him get dressed. Taking the clothes, he headed towards what looked like the bathroom in the room. Already standing in front of the mirror, he could only open his eyes as wide as he could.

(What the hell? What had happened to him? Where is my blonde hair? My blue eyes? And why do I look like a redhead with purple eyes?) Those were the thoughts that were going through his head. 

I could explain that 

(Kyubi, what happened to me?) 

Kit Did you really think that all that chakra you expelled from your body would have no consequences? - now Naruto remembered that moment - If you were anyone else you would have died, but thank Kami that you are not just anyone. If not an Uzumaki 

(Yes I know that, but what does it have to do with my change?)

That's what I was going for, brat - I would say it irritated by the interruption - *sigh* Brats who don't know how to wait, I'm going to give you a brief Genetics class. All human bodies have DNA, a molecule inside cells that contains your genetic information responsible for development and functioning. Do you understand me? - Naruto just nodded, it wasn't something that difficult to understand - THEk, not to go on too long, in genetics there are recessive and dominant traits. In your first genetic information, the recessive traits were those of your mother, while the dominant ones were those of your father. But by using all that amount of chakra plus mine, it mutated your DNA, awakening your recessive traits from your mother. 

So to summarize, did I become a purer Uzumaki? - that was what he understood best 

You could say one way, but let's simplify it. Before you were 75% your father and 25% your mother, but now it's the other way around: you are 75% your mother and 25% your father. you are still part Namikaze and that cannot be removed naturally 

Is that going to bring changes to me? - it was a reasonable doubt, I didn't want to suddenly change my personality or something like that 

Yes and you already have them. And no, you are going to change his personality 

How do you know that? 

I'm in your damn head brat, I know everything you think one way or another 

*I swallow* Naruto had to swallow nervously - When do you say everything? That's all? - I would say it with a lot of nerves 

Yes brat everything, although I must say I never expected you to have those thoughts about the ramen cook and let me tell you that you are completely sexually depraved - She was enjoying this like you have no idea. 

I... I... yooooo- Naruto was too nervous to answer anything. 

Hahahahahahahahahahaha calm down brat, it's normal to have those thoughts, it comes with age. I would be more worried if you had them with that Uchiha or worse none - Despite his mockery, the Kyubi recognized that it was a natural part of every living being with sufficient consciousness, it could not be avoided - but jokes aside, to finish my explanation. No, you are not going to receive any changes in your psyche, that is stupid and even if you were to have them they would not be immediately. That would take time to manifest, there would have to be enough neuronal changes for that type of change. What you did get was a physical change, outside of the obvious change in appearance, because I had something to do with your change, you had improvements. DON'T INTERRUPT ME! - He had to say it before he started asking obvious and stupid questions - well your physical improvements were the following 

A denser and more powerful chakra, if before you had chakra to compare yourself to a lake, now you have to start comparing yourself to a seaA better healing factor and a slight regenerative factor 

What is the difference?

*Sigh* A healing factor allows you to heal yourself, excuse me for the redundancy. That is, if you cut a finger, heal that finger. Now you will remove that finger, with the regenerative factor the finger will grow back - he finished his explanation - Now don't go crazy, because if, for example, they destroy your entire heart, you'll die. 

But I already survived that - I would say confidently, Sasuke had already done something similar to him 

YOU IDIOT BRAT! - It was the scream that hit Naruto - YOU DIDN'T REGENERATE ANYTHING, I CURE IT FOR YOU *inhale and exhale* calm down, calm down, calm down *sigh* the Uchiha only pierced your heart, which is still just as bad. But it didn't destroy him completely, making him only have to heal something that was still there. Well, where was I going?

Greater density in your muscles Greater resistance to your organs and skin Increased physical as well as neural characteristics 

Wait a minute, didn't you say I wasn't going to have a mental change? - this had him very confused 

Exactly, having a neural improvement does not make you change your personality, it allows you to think faster but not differently. - she was already getting bored of this talk - but the last change was the growth you obtained, you went from measuring about 145 cm to reaching 160 cm. Congratulations brat, you stopped being a dwarf. 

Naruto was stunned, again in a short period of time he obtained a lot of information and he had barely been awake for a week... excellent. What else was the world going to throw at him? 

[Don't push your luck Naruto]

Naruto had to snap out of his reflection, he heard a knock on the door. Des heard a woman's voice, surely it was the nurse who brought him his clothes. 

Boy, not to be rude, but what's taking you so long? - It had been almost 10 minutes since he entered the bathroom 

I go... I was just thinking about this whole situation - and that was true, I was still thinking well about everything that had happened in less than a week 

Good, but if you could please hurry up, the captain wants to see you - White Beard asked that they send him as soon as he got up. 

Yes... I've already dressed

Thus, after a minute, Naruto came out dressed in long brown pants, a white short-sleeved shirt and a vest of the same color as his pants. 

Hmmm - the nurse would remain silent looking at Naruto, specifically his clothes 

This… Is there something just? - He was already uncomfortable with the look I was giving him. 

Eh... no, those clothes just don't fit you well, you should look for a type of clothing that fits you well... - he was waiting for me to tell him his name. 

Naruto, my name is Naruto 

Okay Naruto, let's go. 

As they walked towards the deck of the ship, he began to look at the ship. He expected it to be more elegant or presumptuous, like golden doors, everything finely carved, the best woods to decorate, but not everything is more Homely? Yes honey that's the word you're looking for 

Excuse me this… - waiting for a name 

Rebbeca, my name is Rebbeca 

Well Rebbeca, you and Marco called Barba Blanca -dad- Are you two his biological or adopted children? - For him it was a bit logical, Marco and Rebbeca were somewhat similar, only Marco had stronger colors in his hair and eyes 

Rebbeca only smiled a small smile, in a way she was right - No, dad did not adopt us legally, but in his own words - Anyone who belongs to my crew is a son of mine and part of my family. We are all children of the sea - that is why all pirates under the flag of White Beard are considered his children - I would say with great affection towards the man who took care of her like a daughter. 

Naruto now understood or believed he understood that man's thoughts a little better, there was nothing so ostentatious or glamorous about him, because he was not interested in such banal things, he only cared about one thing. The well-being and care of its people 

_ Ship Deck _ 

Naruto followed Rebbeca throughout the ship until they reached the deck. The first thing he noticed was a large chair in the middle, the door leading to the back of it, making him look in front of it. 

So he followed Rebbeca until he was in front of the chair and he had to open his eyes in amazement. In the same chair sitting was an old man, but in shape, with big muscles and the most impressive thing was his height, he is over 6 meters [ 6.66 M to be exact] and that left him amazed 

The Kyuubi is the same, she had no words, even the tallest man in the elemental nations does not even half this guy 

This is my captain and the man I look up to as my father Whitebeard or Edward Newgate - those words from Rebbeca confirmed the beliefs that this man was the captain 

So you're the brat that my boys pulled out of the sea, no - those were the first words intoned by Whitebeard towards Naruto, the man's tone of voice was thick and firm. 

Yes, I'm glad to meet you, I'm Naruto Uzumaki - Naruto was a little scared, the slightest mistake and he can take a hit from this man 

Where are you from Naruto? - Naruto was nervous, he could answer the same thing as Marco, but he was sure that wouldn't be enough, so taking a breath he prepared himself. 

*Sigh* Where am I from? That is a very difficult question to answer... before I could tell you that I come from "my" Konoha village, but even at that time it would be a lie - Naruto was very - reflective lately - in my home I was always despised, hated and cursed for a cause out of control, so even though I lived there, I couldn't call it home

I know this is no consolation, but I'm sorry for what happened to you because of me - She felt a little guilty, Naruto didn't ask to be her jailer. 

(Thank you Kyubi) - and it was true, with that apology he may not recover anything, he recognized that it was not his fault

Because of that I escaped from that village, grabbed a boat and began to sail the sea. But it seems that bad fortune smiled on me and I crashed into a storm, which left my boat destroyed - yes, this was a shit week - So where do I come from? It is not a question to which I have a subtraction 

White Beard was silent, he could see that they were either missing information or they lied to him about certain things, but one thing they didn't tell him a lie about was that he didn't know his place. And also that he was just a lost boy looking for the same 

Gurarararara - Naruto just raised an eyebrow at the old man's laugh - you're an interesting brat huh. I asked you, where do you come from? And you give me a reflection of your life and that's fine, many times we need to do that to be able to move forward, but then if you don't know where you come from, tell me where are you going? 

Naruto was confused. What's with that question? Where am I going? - I don't know either - and he was honest with that subtraction 

Gurarararara you are an idiot brat gurarararara. You don't even know where you come from, but you don't know where you're going either. So why did you go into the sea? 

…

…

…

Haa…haa…hahaahaahaa - Naruto started laughing like crazy - I don't know, haahaahaahaa maybe to find that scrap haahaahaahaa 

Gurarararara you are a funny brat. So if you want to find those subtractions, join me and be one of my children - White Beard had liked this boy 

Well, haahaahaahaa, but I won't be one of your children - he would say, still breaking into laughter. 

Oh no? So what do you plan to be? - I would be just like Naruto, laughing while talking 

I will be his old grandson (haahaahaahaa) you are already too old for (haahaahaahaa) to consider you a father - even though he looked like a clown he couldn't stop laughing 

GURARARARARA Marco I like this brat. Does he dare to call me an old man? And not happy with that, Grandpa? Gurarararara - Whitebeard was actually happy, this brat was very interesting - Welcome to the Newgate Pirates then little grandson gurarararara 

Happy to be welcomed grandpa haahaahaahaa 

This is how Naruto began his pirate journey
