Naruto felt himself becoming weightless while the capsule was falling, he figured the hawk must've gotten tired of carrying him inside the capsule and decided to just drop it and return to the Sound village.
Naruto realized he would have to brace himself for impact, as he knew this capsule was going to make a crash landing and he was proven right; as the capsule crashed right into a rock at full speed, which the impact from the rock caused the cap of the capsule to pop off and launched Naruto out of the rear, sending him flying into a nearby bush, in which he got tangled by a small stem from some leaves.
Eventually climbing down from his landing point, Naruto then looked around the best he could to see where he landed. The sheer scale of everything made his head spin, but he got the bearings.
If there was one thing any Konoha shinobi knew, it was the woods around them. Any shinobi was expected to know the topography and geography of their own homelands, after all. But these trees weren't from anywhere in Hi no kuni or the other villages... they were utterly foreign...
Where exactly had that damned bird taken him?
"Well, it's not like no one's gonna tell me... Might as well start walking and figure out where I am the old fashioned way..." Naruto said to himself as he began to start walking.
After a while of walking around, Naruto still didn't know where he currently was and he noticed it looked like it was starting to get dark and he didn't like the looks of his chances being out in the open at night, but then suddenly he heard a loud splash hit the ground and then before he knew; he was forced onto the ground by a large drop of water, it was then Naruto realized it was starting to rain and he had to find some shelter as he ran through the towering grass as the rain began to pour however, he had no idea where he was running to.
Eventually after finding a somewhat sturdy hollow log to hide in, Naruto then saw what looked like a house with it's lights on and thinking it was better than staying out here in the cold rain, Naruto grabbed a nearby clover and used it as an umbrella and ran to the gigantic house.
But what Naruto didn't know at the time, was that what he saw wasn't a house, but it was really a shrine.
After what seemed like forever, Naruto finally made it passed the door to the shrine, but he was so cold, tired, soaking wet from the rain and exhausted from just enduring everything he went through, he dropped the clover umbrella, as he didn't even care if someone was about to step on him at this moment, as Naruto fell onto his stomach and lied down on the floor and suddenly just fell asleep.
All the while, as this happened Naruto didn't even notice that he fell asleep before a set of gigantic sized tabi covered feet as a miko not only saw him enter the shrine but also collapse before her feet and then, she leaned and reached for the shrunken and sleeping Uzumaki...
"What is this...?" the young woman said, frowning as she picked up the tiny thing and brought it up before her eyes. Examining what it was, she frown deepened. "Well, this being bare of all decency just will not do in the shrine. You, little thing, are coming with me..." she said before carrying the tiny creature through the shrine.
----------
Yawning, Naruto stretched. The body he was stuck in ached still, but the rest had helped.
Huh? Where was he? Inside a building, obviously, but it was completely bare.
Everything shook suddenly and Naruto braced himself before, with a squealing crunch, he looked up just in time to see the roof being pulled off of wherever he was and his current eyes widened.
A birdhouse! He was inside of a birdhouse?!
And looking down at him was a beautiful girl that looked his age with long inky blue hair done in a short hairstyle that was shorter on the sides and back of the head, with a slightly longer top and very short bangs hanging above over her forehead and deep lilac eyes with white, blossom-shaped pupils. Her face was heart-shaped and she had a button nose and full, pouty lips and her skin was pale like alabaster yet still had warmth under it.
She wore the traditional dress of a miko, a white hakui robe with red sode-kukuri cords through the sleeves. Strings called muna-himo were attached to each lapel and tied in front to keep the garment closed, along with a bright red hakama. Finally, she wore common tabi socks and sported a red obi belt over all her other garments.
Seeing movement, faint as it was from the bird house's occupant, she nodded. "I assume that you're awake. My name, little creature, is Kokusen. Now...who or what are you, little one? And how did you arrive at the shrine?" the priestess asked.
Naruto gulped. How was he supposed to answer that when he was too small to be heard? No matter how good at yelling he was, this was an issue...
Seeing the ant-sized being seeming to try waving up at her, the miko frowned. "...Ah..." Kokusen nodded, then pulled out a q-tip, "I understand your issue. Hold on tight."
At that, Naruto blinked, confused. Hold on tight? What did she mean by....OH CRUD! Naruto paled as he was covered in shadow before he was knocked over by the cotton swab at the end of the stick of a q-tip, then was lifted up with it to be before Kokusen's face, then she moved it so the end he was stuck to was brought before her ear.
"In you go. Should be able to hear you that way." the giantess said.
Naruto tried to balance himself after being released from the Q-Tip and ran deep inside Kokusen's ear and when he reached her ear drum, Naruto then shouted as loud as possible as he told her who he was and everything that has happened and how he ended up in her shrine.
After a long while of explaining everything, Naruto walked out to see Kokusen's finger which seemed to have been waiting for him. As he crawled onto her fingertip, Kokusen brought her finger towards her eyes as she then seemed to begin to think about everything she heard from Naruto.
