Then the moment was over.
"What?! Where?!" asked Naruto as he discovered he was somewhere besides the ninja village he'd expected to find.
It was a deep cavern. Very deep. Very dark. Actually pretty chilly. He could hear what moving off to his right. "Where the hell am I now?!"
His eyes slowly began adjusting to the dark, and he realized there WAS a dim light. From somewhere.
Toltiir whistled a quick tune as things continued to play out. Due to the local gods being real twits and having all these rules - he had to maintain a minimal 'footprint' - so he'd done everything MAJOR prior to Naruto popping into this cavern.
Gift Of Tongues would make things easier. Eye Of Thoth as well. Stumbling around in the dark could be funny, but the current plan was for something more insane and more fun. So giving Naruto the ability to have glowy eyes in the dark Foxfire Eyes (Toltiir decided to make the color of the glow dependent on his mood - more difficult but more amusing) was part of what he'd planned. Of course, Naruto could just see in the dark at this point. Any further abilities would have to be unlocked.
Besides, with his mate (Hinata) and his rival (Sasuke) both having eye powers - it was only fitting that Naruto have something in that regard himself.
So Naruto's eyes were currently a light red and slitted like a fox's eyes. His fangs were a little more pronounced too. Just a touch. Most people of this world who saw him would decide he was a Shifter, and most likely some sort of Sorcerer.
Everything else was in place. It was just a matter of the ingredients meeting each other.
Though frankly he hadn't expected them to be in the Underdark. He'd left the tag in an alley in Waterdeep.
"Mpf," said Hinata, beginning to stir.
The floor of the tunnel wasn't exactly comfortable, but Naruto didn't see a lot of alternatives. He set Hinata out and considered his next move. Water. Water was good. He didn't have a cup or bottle so he'd have to cup some in his hands.
The sound of voices echoing down the tunnel caused him to stop and consider. Maybe they had a medic or something that could help Hinata.
As soon as her eyes opened and focussed on him, Naruto explained his plan. "Hinata. Stay here. I'm going to see if I can find a doctor to help you."
Hinata immediately took in that Naruto's eyes were glowing faintly, the cavern, the chilly air, the water going in a stream nearby and came to a conclusion. Naruto has escaped with me? Is this an elopement?!?! A doctor?! What happened?!
By the time Hinata had come to that conclusion, Naruto was already sneaking towards the noise. Once he got a good look at it, it took another moment or two to realize what he was seeing and listening to was:
