Been a long time since I have started a new story. Maybe going on what, 2 years? I had honestly given up on this whole ff deal and went to gaming and writing in other mediums, but was surprised at the support and so here I am, back in action for the time being. Maybe longer. More in the AN below. But for now, please enjoy my attempt at a Naruto/Power Rangers crossover.

DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING BUT MY OWN IDEAS. NARUTO AND POWER RANGERS BELONG TO RICH COMPANIES

WAVE COUNTRY: ELEMENTAL NATIONS

'Ooh. Whoa. Dude. That was brutal. I don't know where I am.' a man out of place and time stated as he took a moment to take in his surroundings. He slowly turned to where a small explosion just occurred. Being lost and alone didn't change one important thing. He was a ranger, and someone might need help. He took in a deep breath and then exhaled it. Gaining a bit of focus he took off toward the direction of chaos. Meanwhile...

A few short moments ago a battle raged quite fiercely, but eventually a masked man with a blue forehead protector with a reinforced silver metal plate with a leaf adorned his silver haired head, Hatake Kakashi nearly managed to finish a fight with the mercenary known as Zabuza: Demon of the Hidden Mist right before his effeminately portrayed partner Haku failed to intercept and deflect the lightning powered chakra blade. His master was still fatally hit. The masked wearing ninja saw his orange wearing student Uzumaki Naruto and his pink haired student Haruno Sakura cradling their third and final teammate Sasuke. Naruto slowly stood up, his emotions running wild as he began walking toward the boy who's fault his new teammate, and almost friend died. Kakashi gripped the front a broken Haku's neck to finish their other foe as he quickly drew a kunai as he was all but out of chakra, but was stopped as his orange wearing student screamed out, "Stop sensei, hold up! We are better than this!"

Naruto felt a small attachment to the Haku boy. Naruto, not having a lot of companionship back in his hometown found himself not wanting to see Haku die despite what he did to Sasuke. He had not quite lost his innocence just yet. He emotionally latched onto Haku as A real friend, although they only knew each other for a few days, and now today as enemies. It hurt, but Naruto played the part of fool well, and he knew Haku was the one he saw in the forest getting healing herbs for Zabuza as plants were a small, relatively secret hobby of his. Naruto forced his heart to harden slightly and with eyes cold, he said, "He has to pay for what he did to Sasuke, but let it be in the Konoha prison. Or at least let T and I have a crack at him. We may learn a thing or two. Zabuza may have had many secrets that might benefit the leaf," Naruto stated, trying to at least save the young man's life, if nothing else.

Zabuza, who's blood was quickly draining out realized just how dangerous the blonde maggot truly was. He was impressed and managed to look up to Haku and say, "The blonde brat will do great things. If they agree to let you live, do not try to fight them. Follow him. As my last request as your master, please follow him to greatness, and help to purify my legacy my son Haku."

Haku, while still in Hatake's hands managed to warble out, "As you command...my father," and Zabuza died able to make amends before going to meet the shinigami. Haku's fight left him as he looked to Kakashi and stated, "I have given my word to follow the orange one. My word is my bond, but it is up to you whether you want to send me to the Shinigami or have me work side by side with Naruto...sama..." He forced out sadly.

A weasel like voice cut through the moment of silence, which left Team 7 quite livid. "So, Zabuza really was a little bitch huh? I also no longer have a rent a merc contract to finish paying out. Leave now, leave the girly boy, and I might just let you live. But if you think of trying anything..." the miniature man out of a bad gangster movie said, he did a cutting motion across his throat. Hundreds of men walked out of the wood works holding nearly all of the villagers hostage.

Naruto's eyes nearly bulged out in shock as did his still conscious teammates. Kakashi was ready to pull his team out, not ready to lose another team like his childhood team. Naruto took a single step forward, "Monster!" Naruto screamed. "You touch a single one of them... any of you... I will kill every single one of you bastards!" much to the shock of his pink haired teammate and sensei.

Naruto's eyes watered at what he said, much to the relief of his sensei, meaning this was said out of love of mankind rather than being influenced by the 'evil' entity within Naruto, but his determination shined through like a supernova. An animalistic gold and purple flicker of aura appeared around Naruto, then vanished as quickly as it appeared. That flicker was the only sign a hidden figure needed before he knew... he knew what he needed to do and why he was brought to this strange place. Before a single person moved, a purple blur appeared and slammed into the ground at the center of the group. A burst of wind knocked everyone back. A man in purple snarled as he stood slowly and told the civilians, "Go back to your homes and lock the doors. I don't like the fact that a what, pre-teen, or teen has to say what he just said much less CONSIDER it. I trained my own team of young warriors a few years older, but he shouldn't have to bloody his hands at such a young age. The look in his eyes tells me he has every intention of doing exactly what he promises, and he doesn't look like someone who goes back on his promises. His body is wound tight, and in a martial arts stance. His clothes hide it, but I can see a bit of the musculature of a real deal warrior... So let me break this down for you all... Try to take a single life and I will help the little man in orange break a few bones. Clear?" the man stated with an impressive amount of venom. No killing intent, but the fear he created was quite palpable.

"Who the hell are you supposed to be?" the short pudgy pile of mucus asked. "Because I might have a place on my payroll for someone who can make an entrance like that," said knowing the new arrival could be as much of a headache as Zabuza.

The man in purple sighed as he really wasn't the monologue type but felt he'd better make his position known. "Someone who doesn't like fighting. I have done enough fighting in my life, and abhor the idea of taking a human life. But I am not someone who will sit idly by while you threaten an entire town. From the little I have picked up, these guys with the Hitai-ite are some sort of ninja, and are trying to protect this town from you. I don't take bullies lightly. So I will only say this once. Leave now... before you really make me... MAD!" he roared.

Even Naruto took a step back, not knowing anything about this new arrival, but liked what he saw so far. This guy was no joke. He carried himself in a loose stance, but his muscles showed he was ready to strike. Kakashi realized the same thing and was glad Naruto had the good sense to step back.

The Villagers snuck off little by little. The thugs too curious/scared to make a move. Gato was not happy however and snarked, "Fuck it. Kill him, then kill them all. Wave is mine."

"Ah ah ah," the new arrival stated in a slightly deeper menacing voice. "I warned you. I will step into the arena and show you the power of the Spirit of the Wolf!" RJ concentrated and summoned a purple enshrouded wolf spirit and unleashed it upon twenty of the thugs before it vanished. He then took off at an incredible speed. One Kakashi could barely keep up with now that he covered his Sharingan back up, and even then, he wasn't sure the man in front of him was going at his full speed. He considered uncovering it again to see what he could learn of from this new arrival, but his chakra was too low to even consider it.

The 'purple' man's brown hair blinded a thug that tried to sneak up on him as he spun around and smashed his elbow into the first thug's face. He then leaped forward and descended upon another thug's chest with both knees.

Naruto stepped forward and crossed his fingers and narrowed his eyes as he called out, "Kage Bunshin!" and fifteen clones went to start attacking the rest of Gato's tyrants. Naruto however stayed back and watched his clones. He wanted to jump in, but thought better of it upon seeing his teammates various conditions behind him. He could not trust Haku as he didn't know him yet, although he really wanted to. Kakashi was barely standing, so he opted to stay back and watch this new warrior and how he fought. No movements wasted. Each strike non lethal, but meant to cause great distress. Naruto was impressed. He tried not to drop his mask of idiocy so soon so he could actually sneak off and learn in private as he figured out a trick with the Kage Bunshin with his fight with Haku. He remembered seeing the same scene play out from another angle. That of one of his shadow clones.

After a few moments, there was only one person that remained standing of Gato's forces. The little turd himself. Naruto walked forward, keeping a wary eye on the man in the purple gi top and black martial arts pants who took in a deep breath again, and released seemingly to decompress after such a fierce battle.

To everyone's surprise the man calmly stated, "Not even a workout." Naruto made his way to the little man who had fallen over and drew a small blade. The new arrival gently but firmly placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder to which Naruto slashed out on instinct. The man simply tilted slightly to avoid the blade.

Naruto was slightly taken aback by how easily the man avoided his attack, and went into a sloppy stance. But before he did, the man held his hands up in surrender, "Whoa, whoa little dude. I just think their might be a better way. Only kill when there's no other option."

"Naruto, stand down. We owe this man for stepping in and aiding us. But might we ask your name stranger?" Kakashi asked cautiously.

Gato took this as his chance to try to sneak away. A certain duck haired teen who had regained consciousness minutes before stayed silent and lying perfectly still decided to make himself known and flung a kunai into the meat of Gato's calf causing Naruto and the stranger to jump out of the way. The escapee however screamed out in agony.

"Dammit Sasuke. Now we're going to have to carry him back... unless you've got a spare prison scroll sensei?" Naruto asked, his joking demeanor fighting off the relief at seeing the teammate he thought perished only moments earlier.

The stranger sighed and slowly faced the remainder of the group, ignoring the cries of pained anguish from the thugs as the new arrival left them all alive. He then answered, "Um... how about you all introduce yourselves, and tell me how come kids are being trained as child soldiers please."

Nearly everyone including the slightly bleeding out Gato sweat dropped at that.

His answer left the Konoha shinobi suspicious, but Kakashi spoke, "We are shinobi of the leaf. Konohagakure no Sato. I am team captain Hatake Kakashi and these are my students who will not give out any further information until we know a little more about you. I am thankful you came to aid my team and could likely still kill us all, but seeing as you seem somewhat against killing, I am willing to speak semi candidly."

With a small nod the 'purple man' acknowledged, "Name's Robert James. But you all can call me RJ for short. As for anything else... I think I may have been thrown to a parallel dimension to my own. I don't know your level of technology, or mystic arts in this world, but in mine it's rare, but not impossible."

It took all of Kakashi's willpower not to roll his visible eye as he didn't want to antagonize this individual before regaining a good deal of his chakra, not to mention their prisoner freed himself long ago, but made no move to escape or harm his team. Kakashi was slowly gathering what little chakra he could in case he needed to move fast for either one. RJ then stated, "I'm a pretty good judge of character. And you with the gravity defying hair can lower the killing vibe my friends. If I wanted to hurt any one of you, I could have taken you out before revealing myself to those bozos on the ground. Oh yeah, and the boy in blue has made no attempt to leave, but he feels as if he is on fight or flight but leaning more towards flight, but something is keeping him put."

Haku's eyes narrowed dangerously. He didn't like being called out, but RJ was taking no chances that someone could be hurt when it could have been avoided. He then waited in anticipation for the next question. It came from the Orange wearing nin. "RJ," he said carefully. "If I may, how did you learn to fight like that. I have seen a 'few' different styles, but nothing like what you did before."

RJ was by no means stupid and decided that if he was to gain trust and find out where his path was to take him, he needed to be candid... to a point. "I have studied various martial arts since I could walk starting with the basics of shark form from my father, tiger from my mother, Phoenix from a former enemy, Tiger and Dragon from my former master, Mau, and then I found my own inner animal which I resonated with. My personal style is the Wolf. It's a combination of Kenpo which is the base of all of the styles I mentioned... at least in the special school I attended. The other is Muy Thai. A fierce and brutal style meant to break bones. I also leaned another style, but don't use it, no matter the reason unless a it's a planet wide emergency and I need speed fast. It's out of respect for the master who passed away many years ago. Jeet Kun Do. I was next in line to lead my school of Kung Fu Phai Zhau practitioners, but my students Casey, and 2 of our friends Lily and Theo proved they were children of prophesy and saved our very world. I stepped down, but stayed around in case they needed me."

To everyone's surprise, it was Sakura who made the next suggestion. "Um... Hello RJ." she looked to her sensei who nodded his assent. "My name is Haruno Sakura, and I believe it would be wise if you came to our village." During this time, Naruto made his way over to Gato. He wanted to end the evil little troll but figured that would not go over to well with RJ who kept him in his peripheral vision. Kakashi tossed Naruto a prisoner scroll to which Gato was promptly sealed before he had a chance to complain. Naruto thanked his one caring former academy teacher silently for teaching him how to use different types of storage seals recently. RJ, having worked with sealing techniques himself didn't really say anything. He then asked, "Why would I journey with you to your village?" He was genuinely curious what the girl would say.

"Hokage-sama is known as Shinobi no kami, and the Professor. He might be able to help you make sense of things," Sakura supplied. RJ tilted his eyebrow a bit and asked, "Fire Shadow?"

He took note that Naruto had rejoined his group and nodded enthusiastically. Pride on his face at the very word Hokage. RJ also noted, 'So, they use a broken form of an English/Japanese hybrid language here. Cool beans.'

After only another minute, Kakashi fell over, exhaustion finally taking over, but before anyone had time to move, RJ had already scooped him up and asked, "Your team captain is not ready for a journey and needs rest. Is there somewhere we can set him where he can comfortably rest?"

After a moment of hesitation, Naruto led the group to an old bridge builder's home. The bridge builder Tazuna recognized the men who saved his village. The boy in too much orange, and the purple stranger. The others he barely paid any attention to. Haku fell into a sad silence. He, Tazuna let them enter and helped them get situated. RJ quickly explained what occurred, and asked to be made aware when Kakashi awoke. While he couldn't shake it, he felt a feeling of hurt and anguish in Naruto like he felt in his friend Jarrod from years past. He needed to train this boy and help him find the light before darkness consumed him. He glanced at the boy in dark blue and realized the same thing. That boy was already on his way to becoming the next Dai Shi. His and his students greatest enemy in times past. RJ eventually made his way to the roof where he sat to meditate for a bit.

Naruto waited until after Sakura and Sasuke were asleep and silently snuck Haku outside. He stated, "I am going to Bury Zabuza. He showed he wasn't a total tool in the end. You are free to join me. You can escape. We both know you could tear me apart if you wanted. But you also avoided killing Sasuke like we thought you did. You aimed for non vital spots and had more than one chance to remedy that. I won't forget what you did for my team."

Haku took a long careful moment to decide what he would do as he really did consider making a run for it, but wondered where he would actually go, or end up. Zabuza was the one with all of the connections, although Haku knew of a lot of them, they would likely try to take advantage of him without Zabuza being present, especially when word of Zabuza's death got out. He then stated, "I don't want to be tortured, and what not. I am not naive enough to think Konoha would accept me with open arms. My master's wishes be damned. I have to live for myself now," the slightly older boy stated not hiding his single tear as they reached Zabuza's body. Fortunately no one had touched his sword yet. Haku, while thinking someone like Zabuza would love to be buried with their sword, the Kubikiribocho was too valuable, and too dangerous to be allowed to be left unguarded. He removed his now former master's harness and tied it around him and mounted the sword. He silently helped Naruto bury his master then turned to start on his own journey until Naruto called out to him.

"Wait. I can vouch for you with the old man, especially since you didn't kill Sasuke like we thought you did. You could have used lethal force that entire time, but you didn't. The hokage is like a grandfather to me, and I will do what I can to help ease your transition into Konoha. Plus Konoha honestly has a fetish for bloodline users. Unlike the Mist, the leaf would be far more willing to accommodate your unique qualities."

Haku rolled his eyes, "And use me as a breeding machine, I think not. You might be a little to young to know about this, but hidden villages use the CRA. Clan Restoration Act to make me marry multiple wives. I will only take one wife and that will be for love... if I marry at all."

Naruto thought long and hard and then stated, "Then come to Konoha as my trainer. Maybe throw in a few sessions for Sasuke. He has a desire for revenge against someone. He comes from a powerful clan. Last of his clan, but still loved by Konoha. If you are seen as helping him, then you can be under the protection of the Uchiha banner if he agrees." Naruto rationalized.

Being so engrossed in their conversation, they didn't hear anyone approach as a baritone voice stated, "You help me get strong enough to kill my brother, I will vouch for you personally, and demand it. The Civvy council rides my walking stick like it's made of gold. I don't like using my family name as a crutch. I tend to use it to squeeze out a jutsu here or there, but the civilian council are so enamored by the illusion of me being their Savior for some reason. Make me as strong as you are now within the next 6 months and I will put forth every resource I can to help keep you protected. Hell, I see how they look at Naruto. I let them know Naruto got me an additional sensei to help me get stronger. A powerful Loyal Uchiha in the leaf will have them salivating." Sasuke offered.

Both Naruto and Haku glared at him for sneaking up on them, but Naruto finally asked, "Why would you do that for me?"

Sasuke thought for a moment and realized, "I don't like owing people, and I heard what you just asked Haku-san to do. I get lessons even with her, no excuse me, him being your servant. I also don't forget when someone looks out for me... especially with something to help me get my vengeance."

Haku didn't like the idea of training someone to get revenge, but after a few more minutes of talking and a brief breakdown of the Uchiha massacre, Haku reluctantly agreed.

Before another thing could be said, a thunderous roar could be heard and an aura from below the ground poured out and seemed to try to enshroud Sasuke, but instead encompassed Naruto as he shoved Sasuke out of the way. Haku and Sasuke managed to jump back. Naruto grabbed his head and screamed out in pained agony. Kakashi who'd been sleeping woke and flew out of the door seeing RJ racing ahead of him followed by a few moments later by Sakura who had enough sense to close and lock the door behind her. The group sped toward an ever glowing light.

Meanwhile, inside of Naruto's hidden seal, a dark force started materializing overshadowing even the current tenant, silencing even his presence with said power. A deep malicious voice rumbled from deep within Naruto. "I found someone with a darkness in his heart and you got in my way. I shall take your soul instead, so says the the Dai Shi."

Two presences pushed back. The new presence fought fiercely in a battle of wills and power against this other invisible force. That battle allowed Naruto to scream out, otherwise he would have been taken over little by little in silence by this new force. The new voices managed to slightly pull Naruto into his own mind and he screamed on the outside as his body was in agony, but his mind was now internally protected. "Naruto, no time to explain. I'm part of the spirit from the fourth Hokage and your father. I had to put the nine tailed fox into you to save the village. I asked Hiruzen to tell you when you were strong enough to protect yourself from my and your mother's numerous powerful enemies. I need you to trust me," He said as his form and that of a red haired woman faded into existence.

"My spirit was to appear if the nine tails power ever went out of control and you made it to eight tails of his power." Kushina picked up. "I'm your kaa-san Uzumaki-Kushina and I died when your father did. No time to get into details, as we are trying to stop something evil from taking over your body, and I don't mean the furball. I can barely feel him right now. This evil's presence is non corporeal, meaning we can't touch it, but your father's special seal that he used to catch a tailed beast ball might be able to draw the evil out. I can sense Kashi-kun outside of your seal approaching fast. Tell Kakashi before it's too late! If we manage to hold him off, we may not have time before join our true selves in death. We love you Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto. Now move!" Kushina ordered. Naruto stood in his mindscape taking in everything, and only knew something wasn't right, but felt he could trust these two, but didn't think Kakashi would believe such a crazy story. He pointed out, with tears in his eyes, "I just found you," but didn't fall to his knees like he wanted to. He hardened his resolve and said, "But Kakashi sensei won't believe something so crazy."

Both Kushina and Minata sighed in relief at who his sensei was. Minato quickly said, "Reason for no chidori was because the eye problem, he'll understand." Kushina added, "and his secret confiscated bra of legendary Kunoichi of the sanin, Tsunade's that he lost a bet with Obito to steal was red."

Naruto blushed, but nodded and closed his eyes, not bothering trying to find the fox, he just wanted to get this 'thing' out of him, and he wasn't a Yamanaka and didn't know how to fight off things mentally. He managed to exit his mind, but ended up screaming out. He opened his eyes and saw his sensei coming in fast and said, "Mom and Dad spirit in me. Will be gone soon. Said use seal dad did to catch bijuu dama when kyuubi attacked. It should draw out the evil trying to take me over. It's not the furball!" Naruto ground out, and fell to his knees, then rolled around on the ground in agony as he was assaulted mentally and physically.

Naruto forced himself to still slightly so he could get out the rest of what he needed to say. Kakashi pulled out a kunai dreading what he might have to do if the Kyuubi was trying to escape as nothing else made sense and Naruto's claim his parents were in him was likely just the foxes mechanization... he believed that until he heard, "Dad says no chidori with eye, and mom says Tsunade red bra..." he tried.

Kakashi immediately put the kunai away and pulled out a mini blank scroll, ink and a pen and started quickly drawing out his master's most powerful vacuum seal.

"Protect the leaf... Stop Dai shi!" Naruto roared as a burst of black evil energy soared quickly around Naruto. The blast knocked the sealing supplies away from Kakashi. Sasuke quickly scrambled to recover said items while Haku created a small ice barrier to protect everyone from whatever those strange waves were.

RJ was trying to figure out how he might be able to help, but went stock still the moment he heard 'Dai Shi.' and asked for clarification. "Did Naruto just say Dai Shi," his voice dire.

That dire voice concerned Kakashi. "Do you know of this Dai Shi?" he was careful, and not back to full strength after only a few hours of rest.

"Dai shi nearly destroyed my world. My team and I took the fight to him, and managed to defeat him, but that was nearly 10 years ago. He should not have been reformed. It took the power of our chosen three Phai Zhau newly christened masters to stop him. I am a master in my own right, but I don't know if I have enough power to get rid of Dai Shi from your student on my own." RJ warned.

Kakashi was desperate. Sakura who couldn't give two shits about her teammate, or so it appeared didn't want him to die at the very least and said, "Please help Naruto RJ!"

Kakashi wanted to stop him, but due to that last blast, his supplies were scattered, and if nothing else, he would do nearly anything to save his comrades in arms. He nodded to RJ. Before RJ could do anything Naruto's screams died down, and he eventually ended up on his feet, then began to levitate. A deep voice using Naruto's lips stated, "You were well guarded little orange one, but you shall not escape my power so easily!"

RJ leaped into the air and placed his hands in a muy thai stance and came down upon Naruto's form which had a black and dark purple aura surrounding him. RJ concentrated all of his spiritual energy into the form of a figure as he called out, "I call upon the spirit of the Wolf to free this noble spirit from the evils of Dai Shi!" A purple wolf like creature appeared and ran forward ahead of RJ and slammed into Naruto, Nearly shaking him free.

Dai Shi however had other plans. "Phai Zhau," he roared. "I shall have my vengeance! This vessel is mine! I will not lose this one as I did the one known as Jerrod." Naruto rose into the air and his body began slowly transforming... into something.

RJ fell to the ground and rolled out of a painful spin back to his feet. He lifted his wrist and a purple glow appeared and a device appeared on his left said wrist. He flipped up a switch on said device and after taking a quick look back at those behind him, he knew secrets were a moot point now. He moved his hands in the requisite secret stances of the Phai Zhau and called out, "Jungle Beast: Spirit Unleashed!"

To Be Continued:
