UZUMAKI NARUTO,
SEVAAL OF KONOHA

Hello guys its me Raiden here. I would like to introduce my second Fanfic I've ever done. It is a crossover between Naruto and Shadow skill. If any of you have not watched Shadow Skill, I highly recommend it! It is an awesome anime/manga although the action is a bit lax sometimes it is still good.

Now don't get worried I'm still going to be updating The Fox Of Sound, but I needed a change of pace, and this seemed like the best idea instead of taking a break for a bit. I will be updating my first story before I move at the end of the month. Right now I'm currently packing to move up to Pennsylvania just north of Philli and twenty minutes from jersey.

So here we go, this is going to be a Naruto small harem Fanfic just like the first fic I wrote just with different people in it this time. Hope ya like and don't forget to review at the end. This one is rated M for Mature due to sexual content, mentioning of blood, gore, and violence beyond measure, and crewed humor.

Well anyway this story is about Uzumaki Naruto learning the fighting skills of an ancient culture. Along the way Naruto will meet many different people and very tough opponents. He will discover happiness, sorrow, love and betrayal. His road to becoming the greatest warrior the world has ever seen will be long and hard but in the end he will find that its not the goal or destination that is important, it's the journey and lessons learned along the way to reaching your goal.

DISCLAIMOR: I do not own Naruto or Shadow Skill, or any of the techniques used in this story. Only those labeled in the glossary as OC or OCS are mine. All others belong to the original creator.


CHAPTER 1

ANCIENT BATTLE TECHNIQUES OF KURUDA!

Our story begins one cool summers day with a small child wondering around the forest outside his home village searching for a decent meal. "Damn villagers never letting me buy any food." the boys stomach growled,"I gotta find some food soon before the sun goes down."

Continuing to walk around the woods a little longer the boy notices something moving around in the shrubs "Finally! DINER!!" the young child threw his kunai hoping to hit what would soon to be his diner. Suddenly something screeched "Huh? That doesn't sound like AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!"

The young boy was suddenly falling through a steel panel that had comes lose beneath him. He seemed to fall forever, at least thats what the boy thought. After falling for a minute or so the child finally reached bottom making a nasty crunch as he hit the hard earth. His body went into shock and quickly passed out due to the extreme pain that his body was feeling.

Hours later around midnight the boy starts to stir."Ugh, my whole body hurts. What happened to me?" the child thought about the events that led up to his current situation and then it dawned on him "That's right, I feel down a long whole in the ground while I was getting diner."

"Oh well I can't do anything about it now. I guess I could look around until I find away out of here. I gotta find some light though." using the moonlight above the boy looked around the chamber he was in trying to find a torch or something.

Stumbling over a what he thought was a lamp at one time, the child fashioned a torch out of the rusted metal, his undershirt and the oil that was left in the urn."I hope this works." said the child.

Picking up some stone off the floor and another piece of metal, the kid struck the two objects together trying to create sparks so as to ignite the oil soaked cloth.

After several tries the kid was about two give up, when on the last try by a sher stroke of luck, he threw the metal on the ground next the torch making it spark a great deal catching the cloth on fire "YATTA! I FINALLY DID IT!" yelled the kid,"NOTHING CAN STOP UZUMAKI NARUTO!"

Now our hero finally gives a name. Walking around for a bit Naruto finds nothing of interest or even an exit, all he notices is that the ruins are really old, if he had to guess they were at least a thousand years older than Konoha.

Stumbling around for a little longer Naruto hears a click and then some grinding "Kami I hope I'm not gonna fall threw the floor again." said Naruto as he braced himself for a crash landing. A moment later when nothing happened to his body, Naruto looked up to see that the wall that was in front of him had opened up.

Moving into the room Naruto sees a vague outline of a person in the corner with what looked like a large scroll standing up beside the figure "Hey! You awake over there?" asked Naruto. Getting no response he moved in further. Once being within ten feet of the figure, Naruto figured out why the person was not responding: the figure was a skeleton.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" screamed Naruto sounding more like a little girl than a boy. Getting over his state of shock from seeing a skeleton he moved over to examine the body "Huh looks like this guys been here for awhile. I wonder if the scroll here can tell me how long though?"

Deciding to take a look in the scroll, Naruto searched around for other urns filled with oil and moved them over to where he would be reading so he could use them for light. Getting everything in place, he finally sat down and opened the scroll and began to read.

"To whom ever reads this scroll,

My name is Gau Ban, The 60th Sevaal also known The Black Howling. The small forces that I am in command of and myself are taking refuge in a land far from Kuruda. We do not know what this place is called but the monks here have taken us in, but I fear that the beasts that are following us here may kill them as well as my people.

We are the last survivors from the attack from the nine Demon-Beasts. Each one, besides the one that can control sand, has more than one tail. It seems that the more tails they have, the stronger they are. The strongest is the ninth which looks like a giant red fox. The monks say that the demon fox is called the Kyuubi no Kitsune in these lands.

I have asked the monks what country we are in but it seems there is no formal government and there for no country. I ask that whom ever reads this can, please bury my comrades and myself if we are not already buried. And as payment for doing this for us I give you and your people the contents of this scroll.

While here the monks taught us how to seal objects with in paper. Inside the seals contains scrolls on my country's three different styles of martial arts and how to perform them. In the other seals is a book on Kuruda's history, My brothers Dais's Black Wing, and my old training gear from when I was younger.

Use the training gear as a base to make others for your people if you see fit and use the Black Wing to protect yourself and your loved ones, and finally use the Book of history so that my people will live on forever in the hearts of your people.

I fear that I am not long for this world. I can already feel the tremors caused by the Demons foot steps heading our way. Good luck stranger and I hope what's going to happen to us will never happen again to any human being in existence.

P.S. If you found this place by mistake, pull the barrel away from the wall opposite from me. It will open up a secret passage to the outside.

Looking back at the pile of bones behind him, Naruto sheds a tear for those that died by the Kyuubi's hands "Well Gau-san, you don't have to worry anymore. That beast was killed by my villages strongest Hokage! And I will see that you are finally put to rest." Rolling up the scroll and throwing it over his shoulder Naruto opens the secret Passage way and grabs Gau's body pulling it along up to the surface.

Getting to the top of tunnel Naruto can see that the sun is starting to come up "Wow... I didn't think I was down there that long. Oh well I guess I better get you buried and head to the old mans office.

So Naruto began to dig. Hours later Naruto had dug a pit deep enough to put Gau's body in and covered. Before he left though, Naruto constructed a crewed headstone that said this:

Here lies Gau Ban

The Black Howling


Around mid-day Naruto finally made it back to the Hokage's tower. Waiting at the entrance to said tower was an ANBU member with gravity defying, silver hair and a dog mask "Naruto, where have you been? Hokage-sama is very worried about you and has the three teams out looking for you."

Naruto grinned sheepishly and scratched the back of his head "I kinda passed out in the forest last night trying to find some food." Naruto then looked down,"Why do the villagers hate me? What did I ever do to them?" asked Naruto.

The dog ANBU got down to Naruto's level and put a hand on his shoulders then gave Naruto a light squeeze "They are just fools Naruto. Do not let them get you down, someday you'll be able to show them just how amazing you are and they will finally treat you right."

Naruto looked into the black eyes of the mask "Thanks Kakashi-nii-san." said Naruto giving the ANBU a genuine smile.

The silver haired nin stood back up "Don't mention it Naruto.... Wait? How do you know who I am Naruto? ANBU identities are supposed to be classified so only the Hokage and head of ANBU know who we are." stated Kakashi, slightly confused.

Naruto laughed "You don't think I'm that stupid do you? I may not be a ninja yet or started the academy for that matter but even a civilian would know it was you Kakashi-nii-san. I mean how many other people have hair that is silver and defies the very law of gravity? You really should use a genjutsu or something to hide it when your in your ANBU uniform." said Naruto as he walked into the tower with Kakashi behind him.

"sigh,Yeah I guess your right Naruto." Kakashi was upset that a six year old figured out his identity just by looking at his hair. Was it really out of the ordinary to have silver hair and have stand up with out help from jells or mouses? He had tried everything he could think of to keep it down, but no matter what his hair seemed to have a mind of its own when it came to style. Even when wet it seemed to only droop a tiny bit.

Back to the matter at hand Kakashi felt a small tug on his vest "What is it Naruto?" he asked.

Standing in front of the office doors Naruto looked up to Kakashi "Could you do me a huge favor Nii-san?" asked the blond.

"Sure Naruto, What is it?" said Kakashi.

"Well since I'm gonna be talking to Jiji for a long time could you do some shopping for me? I would go after we talk but the villagers never let me in the shops. I have some money stashed in a hollow leg of my bed at home so you don't have to pay." said Naruto.

"No problem Naruto, but you don't have to worry about the money I'll pay for it." said Kakashi giving Naruto one of his famous eye smiles. That is if Naruto could see through the mask."Now what would you like me to get?"

Naruto thought about it for a moment and then eyed the scroll on his back "Two weeks worth of food, a few sealing and storage scrolls, books on basic chakra control, sealing, and weights. Also could you get a tent big enough for six people?"

Kakashi thought about it for a second "Sure Naruto I can get all that. But why do you need all of it besides the food?"

"Well since my birthday is coming up I was thinking about camping outside the village for a while until after it was over. I also thought I would start on some light training before I enter the academy in a few months." said Naruto hoping Kakashi would buy it.

Kakashi knew Naruto was not telling him everything but he decided to let it go "No problem Naruto. Where will you be camping? That way I can set up everything for you and when your done you can go right there."

thinking of whether he could trust Kakashi with this information with out it getting back to Jiji "Go out the east gate and head about a mile into the forest. Look for a makeshift head stone that has the name Gau Ban on it. I'll be camping there."

Kakashi ruffled Naruto's hair, told him good-bye and said that he would meet him at his apartment in a few hours to take him to the campsite. Disappearing in a puff of smoke, Kakashi was off to get everything that Naruto asked for, and a few other things that he thought the youngster might want or need.

Turning around to face the double doors of the Hokage's office, Naruto knocked on the giant doors."Come in." said the man behind the door. Naruto walked in and sat down in front of the Hokage's desk waiting for the old man to notice who was there."Out with it! This better be about Uzumaki Naruto's where-abouts."

"It is, he's right here." laughed Naruto.

"NARUTO-KUN!" yelled the aging Kage as he ran from behind his desk to hug the small boy."Where have you been all this time? I was worried that one of those damn villagers finally got you."

Naruto wiggled out of mans embrace and caught his breath "Ojii-san I'm fine. But there's something I have to talk to you about."

The old Kage motioned for Naruto to go sit on one of the couches. Sitting beside the boy Sarutobi told Naruto to tell his tale.

So Naruto went on for the next few hours talking to Sarutobi about what happened, what he learned from the history book so far and what his plans were."So that's about it Ojiisan, I plan to move out there by the old temple where no one other than you and Kakashi-nii-san can find. But theres one thing I was wondering about and was hoping you could help me with."

"What is it Naruto-kun?" asked the aged Kage.

"Could you find out anything about how long ago this Kuruda place existed? The book doesn't have any dates written down." said Naruto standing up.

"Sure thing Naruto-kun I'll get right on it for you." Sarutobi messed with Naruto's hair,"Now you better be going before Kakashi decides to leave with out you."

Naruto gave his foxy grin and ran out the door "THANKS JIJI!" yelled Naruto as he left the office.

Sarutobi went and sat at his desk as Naruto was leaving. The old man had a knowing smile on his face and reached out to grab something that was not there. But fortunately something appeared where he reached: Kakashi.

"Kakashi I have a mission for you." said the Hokage.

Kakashi nodded "What do you want me to do Hokage-sama?" asked Kakashi.

Sarutobi smiled "You are to watch over Naruto until he starts at the academy. Help him out where he needs it. And I take it you heard the last bit of the conversation?" Kakashi nodded,"Good then you know he is living out there now. Since that area is nothing but swamp and unlivable mountain land I want you get Tenzo and have him make a house for Naruto out there."

"Yes Hokage-sama." said Kakashi before disappearing.


A little later at Naruto's apartment, Naruto was just arriving when two figures appeared behind him. Turning around as fast he could Naruto looked up to see two ANBU behind him.

"Hello Naruto. Glad to see you're done talking to Hokage-sama. Are you ready to go?" greeted Kakashi.

Naruto looked at the other ANBU nervously "Who's he nii-san?"

Tenzo shook his head "How rude of me. I am Yamato, the Hokage asked me to follow you and Kakashi-sempi for a mission."

"Oh okay." Naruto smiled at the two elite shinobi,"Did you get the storage scrolls Nii-san?" Kakashi nodded."Cool. Could you help me seal some things away? Then we can get going."

Kakashi followed Naruto inside as did Yamato. Walking through his front door Naruto saw that all his things were gone "Where'd all my stuff go?" asked a worried Naruto.

"Don't worry Naruto. While you were in the Hokage's office Kakashi and I sealed up all of your things into a few scrolls. We need you to come in here so that if anyone was watching would think your home." explained Yamato.

Kakashi saw that Naruto was confused and decided to answer his question before Naruto could ask "What Yamato means by that is that we sealed your things and need you to come inside so when we leave the villagers wont follow or know where to look for you."

"How are we going to leave with out getting seen by the villagers?" asked Naruto. Yamato grabbed Naruto's shoulder and disappeared in swirl of leaves, and re-appeared in front of the camp site.

"That's how Naruto-kun." said Yamato.

Naruto almost feel to ground once Yamato let go of his shoulder since he was not used to moving that fast. At least not yet. Getting his balance back Naruto looked around the camp "Awesome."

Kakashi Finally appeared in front of the group that he would be in charge of "Alright you two you need to get some sleep because tomorrow we have a lot of work to do."

Naruto looked at Kakashi confused "What do you mean Nii-san? There's not that much work that needs to be done."

Kakashi shook his head "Not true Naruto. Tomorrow you start training on chakra control since you already know how to mold it. While your doing that, Yamato and I are going be working on your house."

"My house?" asked Naruto,"What about the tent?"

"Well Naruto-kun, Hokage-sama asked me to make you a home to live in out here since you wont be living in the village anymore." Yamato saw that Naruto was going to start yelling so he continued,"Hokage-sama said you were going to be staying out here a lot anyway and that it would be safer for you to life outside of the village. Don't worry about going through the gate anymore though cause we found out that that temple runs underneath the village."

"And that means all we need to do is connect my house to the temple and then the temple to somewhere in the village, right?" asked Naruto.

Kakashi eye smiled "Correct Naruto, you're quite smart for a kid your age."

Naruto got a sad smile on his whiskered face "Thanks you guys, you gotta be smart to survive what I go through on a daily basis."

Everything was silent for a moment "You wont have to worry about that anymore Naruto-kun. Kakashi and I will make sure of it. Now lets get some shut eye. Why don't you go ahead of us Naruto-kun, I have to talk to Kakashi for a moment." Naruto ran off into the tent and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

"Kakashi-sempi what are we going to do about his house? I can only create wood structures, I can not provide pluming or electricity." said Yamato.

Kakashi pulled out a medium sized scroll and let Yamato read it "That is book written by the fourth, it's a book of seals he created. It is a gift from him to me, and now I'm giving it to Naruto."

Yamato was kinda confused at the moment "That's good and all sempi, but that doesn't answer my question."

Kakashi took the book back and sealed it away into the scroll he got it out of "In that book are seals that produce electricity and water. All we need to do is set up the seals and then everything will work on its own. I did the same thing with my home so I don't have to pay a water or electric bill each month."

"Oh..." that is all Yamato could say.

"Well lets get some sleep, tomorrows gonna be along day." said Kakashi walking into the tent.


The next day, both Kakashi and Yamato woke up around five am to start work on Naruto's new home.

"So what you think we should do sempi? We can't exactly build a house in the middle of the woods outside of the walls. It would be to easy for it to be attacked." said Yamato.

Kakashi walked away from Yamato, moving closer to the entrance to the temple "We're not going to build it out in the open. It's going to be underground."

"What do you mean sempi?" asked Yamato.

"Last night while we were sleep, I had a few clones working on a space for the house." Kakashi motioned to a tunnel next to a torch,"Why don't you go take a look at what you got to work with then get started. I'm gonna go get Naruto up and start him on chakra control."

Yamato nodded and entered the cave Kakashi made "See you in a few sempi."

Moments later, Kakashi was walking up to the tent to find that Naruto was already up and making food. Taking a spot behind a tree so as not to be spotted, he watched Naruto for a bit to see what he would do.

Naruto was boiling some water to use in his ramen cup before he started his morning work out. While he was waiting for the water to boil, Naruto decided to take out the scroll he got from the temple the other day and check out some of the things inside it.

Opening up the scroll, Naruto unsealed the black wing, Gau's old clothes for training, and the scrolls on Kuruda Taijutsu. Looking at the training clothes, to Naruto it just seemed like a tight black body suit with closed toe boots, and blue leather stockings for the arms and legs. So he put it on to see how it fit on him.

He had to admit, it made him look more muscular, and he felt a bit heavier, but not that heavier. Looking around for where he put black wing, Naruto noticed a piece of paper on the ground. Picking it up he read,"To add weight to the suit, just concentrate a little bit of soma into an area of the suit where you want to build muscle."

"Soma?" questioned Naruto,"I guess he means chakra, lets see what happens." focusing chakra all over his body, Naruto was not ready for what was about to happen. As soon as he focused his chakra,"AAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he slammed into the ground and went all the way through down to where Yamato was creating the house. And continued on to make a crater ten feet deep where he landed.

"Owowowowowow!" yelled Naruto,"HELP I CAN'T MOVE!"

Kakashi appeared right by his side and was trying to lift him up but with great difficulty "Kakashi what happened?" yelled Yamato with a bit of urgency in his voice.

"I do not know. Naruto just took out a scroll and started unsealing things from it, including this suit. And when he put this suit on his chakra spiked and then he went right through a ceiling that's fifteen feet thick." said Kakashi.

"Naruto what did you do that made this happen?" asked Kakashi falling down on his ass tired of trying to pull Naruto up.

Naruto sighed "I put this suit on and read the instructions for it. They said to focus your chakra into the suit to add weight to it. So I did and now I'm here and it hurts."

"Well then Naruto just stop focusing your chakra and that should do the trick." said Kakashi standing back up.

After a few minutes, Naruto was finally able to control his chakra enough to stop focusing it. Which was actually harder than he thought it would be. Standing up he dusted himself off and got out of the crater "Sooooo what Kakashi-sensei, Yamato-sensei?" Asked Naruto, who was still a bit sore.

"Sensei?" questioned Kakashi and Yamato pointing at one another.

Naruto shook his head "You guys are helping me train right, and teaching me a few things while I'm in the academy?"

Kakashi was dumbfounded, Yamato could barely speak "Y yeah but but but..." stuttered Yamato.

"Then you two would be my sensei's. I mean what else do you call someone that is teaching you?"

Kakashi dropped his head in defeat "Well I guess you got us there Naruto." Kakashi turned to Yamato,"Looks like you and me are Naruto's sensei's."

Yamato looked like he was about to cry "But sempi, I've never been someone's sensei!"

Kakashi gave him an eye smile "Of course you have Yamato. You helped train the past few recruits that joined ANBU. That was you being a sensei, and as our first assignment to you as your sensei's Naruto..."

Naruto got an excited look on his face before it completely dropped and was replaced with look of terror "You will climb out of this pit through the hole you made in the ceiling only using your feet." said Kakashi.

"Yamato will demonstrate for you, and monitor you while I'm finishing up our home. Now get started."

so Kakashi walked off to handle all the sealing that needed to be done on house while Naruto was being taught the tree climbing exercise. Or in his case rock climbing exercise.

"So Naruto, do you know how to channel chakra?" remembering what happened moments earlier Yamato retracted his question,"Never mind that, What you're about to learn is an ability that all genin should learn but are not taught at the academy. This skill will allow you to walk on any solid surface by using chakra. You could walk on walls, and ceilings without falling off. Now watch closely and I want you to try when I'm done."

Forming a half ram seal, Yamato started walking up the wall of the cavern. Getting to the ceiling Yamato sat down and looked to Naruto."Now I want you to apply chakra to your feet and start walking up. Use a kunai to mark your progress and here is a tip, if you apply too much chakra you will be launched off the surface and you will lose you footing and fall. But if you apply too little,you wont stick at all and will also fall. Now begin!"

So Naruto pulled out a kunai and started his training. He fell numerous times but never gave up.


Around lunch Kakashi came back to the area where he left Yamato and Naruto to train "I think my clones made this cave a bit too big. You could fit the entire Hyuuga clan compound down here. Oh well, if Naruto is anything like his dad was, then he might need the extra space for more houses."

Kakashi smiled thinking of his old sensei. After his father died Kakashi did not have much of a male role model to turn to after that. Luckily enough for him he had his sensei there to help him through everything. Thinking back to Naruto. Naruto did not have that in his life. He went to the Hokage when he was not busy, but other than that, Naruto had no one to turn to.

Kakashi would have to change that. It was the least he could do for his everything his sensei did for him. Making it up where he saw Yamato standing, he could also see Naruto laid out on the ground panting "So how's training going?" asked Kakashi.

Naruto just grunted "He's doing rather well sempi. He has made it half way up the wall so far, I know that may not seem like much but your clones built this cave kinda high. I mean a hundred feet to the ceiling is pretty high don't you think?" answered Yamato.

Kakashi rubbed the back of his head sheepishly "Yeah I was thinking the same thing when I was walking over here, but it's too late now to change anything." looking over at Naruto,"How you feeling Naruto?" asked Kakashi.

"Good." Naruto wheezed,"Just need to rest a bit. This is really tiring."

Kakashi laughed "Well once your rested up, come to the house for lunch. Yamato and I are going on ahead to have a talk." grabbing Yamato and waving goodbye to Naruto, Kakashi started to make his way to the house.

"So what do you need to talk about Kakashi-sempi?" asked Yamato.

"I've been thinking... We should move in and take care of Naruto here. He has no one else to watch over him as you know, and because of the council either trying to kill him, or turning him into a weapon, they wont allow anybody to adopt him. But that doesn't me we can not care for him anyway." said Kakashi.

"I understand if you don't want to do this but I'm doing this either way." said Kakashi looking back at Naruto in the distance.

"Why do you want to do this sempi? I mean I have no problem with living here, this is some of my best work and I would love to live here but I just want to know why your doing this before I say yes." replied Yamato.

"Because he is full of potential and from what he has already accomplished he may one day be the greatest shinobi this village has ever seen." said Kakashi.

Yamato stopped and released a small amount of killer intent directed at Kakashi, causing said ninja to stop and turn to Yamato "Don't give me that Kakashi. I want to know your real reasons for doing this." said Yamato in a serious tone.

Kakashi sighed and turned back around to face the house "I want to do it as a way to repay his father for all he has done for me." Walking away from Yamato, the conversation was never brought up again.


AUTHOR NOTE:

Well there you go folks! The first chapter of my new story! In my opinion, it is a lot better than the first chapter of my first story. Which by the way will be coming out soon, I just got into writing this story and could not stop.

So I'm having a small questionnaire, well two actually. I want to know how many girls I should have in the harem, and what other element Naruto should learn to go along with his wind element. I've already chosen what girls I will put in the harem I just need to know how many you all want. I just ask that you guys make it a reasonable number anywhere from 2 girls to 8 girls will be excepted. So please cast your votes.

And if any of you are wondering, YES, Kisa will be in this also and she is one of the girls that will be in the harem no matter what. And ONE MORE THING! Sakura will never appear in any of my stories as one of Naruto's girlfriends or wifes. I just don't like her, she is too much of a bitch and way too stuck on SASUGAY to tell which one is a real man and which one prefers child molesters with snakes as tongues.(You all know what I'm talking about.)

I plan to make this a Mainly Taijutsu Naruto, so he will be strong in terms of strength, slightly above average Ninjutsu, and like always no Genjutsu. But he will not be a dumb ass like in the series. He will be smart but not overly so and I will not over power him at all.

Anyways I gotta be going. Thank you for reading and please review. Good night everyone.
