Okay, so like I said, this is the story I've been meaning to make. This is a Shaman King/Naruto fic that stays in the Naruto World, without the SK characters showing up in the fic. In fact, the story takes place thousands of years before the Shaman King world, despite the fact that television and cameras exists in the Naruto world. Of course, there are no cars or any of that kinda crap.

There is a character named Rei in the story… This Rei is somewhat of an OC that is actually another form of another character… or characters… yea. Just know that he isn't completely an OC.

For those of you who've been spamming me about SSOE, It says it's on Hiatus. As for everything else, I said I'm busy already. SO LISTEN FOR ONCE. =(

If you're going to bitch about it, go do something else with your life and time, and DEAL WITH IT. I DON'T HAVE FREE TIME 24-7!

Sorry about that, I'm getting pissed off about all the annoying spam crap. Anyway, back to the point.

As the author, I'll be distorting the power of the Shaman powers slightly, okay? This means that he will gain the bloodline limit or kekkei genkai of the spirit he is using for Integrate, as well as gaining their knowledge on jutsus for the duration of the integration.

In the case of oversouls, they will be the same as in the manga, and will be based off of the ghost, the shaman's thoughts over what the O.S. will look like, and of course, the medium used for the O.S.

As for Furyoku, it'll raise as the user trains, much like muscles or chakra. However, if they DO die or are NEAR death, their Furyoku will rise immensely.

Ghosts and Spirits CAN'T touch physical objects, but since biju are pure energy and a soul, as long as they know how to, they can switch between being tangible/visible and intangible/invisible, and if they mastered it, they can touch physical objects while being intangible/invisible, but they will be too physically weak to attack. All they'll be able to do is lift things, and touch people. (touching in this case would be like putting a hand on their shoulders or poking them)

Meanwhile, as the inventor of shamanism, Rei can use all forms of shamanism, as well as a bit of ninja techniques. However, those that were formed in other countries(like the Dao Shi, the corpse herders)will be invented later in the story, or not at all. I might also create my own types.

Now, I have something to ask… but I'll ask it at the bottom, kay? So make sure to read the bottom. The things I have to ask are polls. Polls about Haku, and about the ghosts he should have. Not to mention if he should get the fox contract…

Lastly, the character that invented the Shamanic Arts is named Rei Konokyu, or Spirit, Son of Nine. Imaginary Cookie for those who figure out who he is…
Clue 1: Juubi the ten-tails split up to become multiple "–tail" creatures.

Clue 2: Read every line that Rei has in the story. There are few clues in plain sight.

Clue 3: His first name.

DISCLAIMER: do I even need to say this? I do not own Naruto or Shaman King. If I did, then Hao would be on Yoh's side, with Horohoro as the sidekick. Manta would have been killed off on the first chapter, and the bad guy would have been the patch. As for Naruto, I'd basically change everything… put more jutsu in as well, since EVERYONE DEPENDS ON ONE OR TWO SKILLS FOR ALL THEIR ATTACKS. (Itachi=Mangyekyo Sharingan, Sasuke=Sharingan+Chidori, Naruto=Kage Bunshin, Sakura/Tsunade=Chakra in Hands, Jiraiya=Toads, Kiba=dog, Shino=bugs, Tenten=Weapons, ETC.) So far, Zabuza, Haku, and Danzo are my faves for that reason… although, Demonic Ice Mirrors was kinda overkill…

Naruto: Shaman of the Fox

Ch.1

Naruto's age: 5

"…follow my voice…"

Hearing that, the sleeping child dressed in pajamas got up, rubbing his eyes. This boy, who was named Naruto, got up, and noticed that he was in a sewer. Had the mean people of the village thrown him into the sewers again after beating him again? If so, he'd be glad they did it while he was sleeping, but this time, he had no wounds on him whatsoever, and there was that huge voice… out of curiosity, Naruto began to head towards the voice.

After a small bit of walking, Naruto found himself in front of a giant cage door that held back what seemed to be eternal darkness. It seemed as if there was absolutely nothing there, until a giant figure came forth. "Finally we meet, kit…"

Naruto gasped, seeing the creature he heard about in books that the Hokage read to him. Although he was young, he was no fool. The legendary beast that almost burned Konohagakure down into the ground, the strongest of the nine biju, and the lord of demons... "K-Kyuubi…"

"Yes, I am Kyuubi no Kitsune. Got a problem with that, gaki?" Kyuubi growled, but Naruto just began crying. However, Kyuubi did not feel any fear from the boy, but rather, anger and grief. The biju was confused as to why, until Naruto's voice was heard… muttering that he really was a monster and a demon. "Kit, if you were me, then what would I be? Who told you that?"

"The villagers…" answered Naruto, beginning to stop his tears at hearing that. Kyuubi's eyes widened. Since the boy was holding the demon back, Kyuubi had thought that the boy would be known as a hero, but obviously that wasn't the case. Ever since the biju had been sealed into Naruto, the boy's furyoku had kept rising, still being sealed deep within him. It was then that Kyuubi remembered.

Everyone had furyoku, but nobody could unseal it without being born with it unsealed, or if they had been unlocked by a spirit possessing them. Sadly, there were not many spirits that have not passed on, for not many found reason to stay within the war-filled world around them. Those who do stay either have not decided to yet, or have some kind of reason to stay. If they had not been unsealed, the furyoku would only rise after dying or being near-death. So why was it that this boy's furyoku had kept rising?

Quickly, Kyuubi dove into Naruto's memories for the first time, and began looking through the child's memories. After a bit of time, Kyuubi began to cry at the carnage that was Naruto's life, and stopped looking. The child had been beaten so many times in his life, there was no way to keep track!

Kyuubi looked at the child, and spoke. "Kit… I'm so sorry. I had not known that something like this would have happened…"

After seeing the boy's confused look, Kyuubi began explaining how the Yondaime had sealed Kyuubi into the boy, and that the boy was only the prison, not the prisoner. Kyuubi would have told Naruto who his parents were, but anyone, even demons, knew just how many enemies the Yondaime had. After the explanation, the room went silent, before Kyuubi spoke. "Kit, now that I know of your life, I know that you have not been having the pampered life that I thought you've been having… so I want to make a deal with you."

"What kind of deal?" asked young Naruto, for all stories that the boy had read that involved making a deal with a demon ended up with the contractor's soul being taken by the demon, and he'd be damned if he didn't find peace in the afterlife, especially with the terrible life he's been having in his current life.

"You see, I have a son…" began Kyuubi, before hearing a gasp from the boy. "Shush, you! As I was saying, I have been unable to spend time with my son for these last five years, seeing as how I've been sealed within you. In fact, the boy probably doesn't even know where I am... and not to gloat, but my son is a true genius. He had begun to invent a style of techniques called Shamanism, which takes use of a hidden energy called furyoku, which exists in all living creatures. However, almost everyone's furyoku is sealed away, without any of it being able to be used. Those who do have furyoku unlocked can see spirits and ghosts, but are unable to tap into the energy let alone use them. However, my boy's style allows you to control the furyoku in order to use many special techniques, similar to the jutsu that ninja use nowadays. However, the main point of shamanism involves using spirits, or ghosts. The main two parts of shamanism is called Integration and Over Soul. Integration is putting the soul of a spirit or ghost into your own body, allowing you to gain its skills and knowledge. Meanwhile, Over Souls put the souls into objects, creating what you could call a super weapon. Of course, you have to have enough skill and furyoku to keep either of them going on for long. If you allow me to summon my son so that I may at least talk with him, then you may be able to convince him to teach you Shamanism… of course, I'll teach you how to be a great ninja as well. So, what do you say? Would you like to become the first Ninja Shaman of the humans?"

"That'd be awesome!" Naruto yelled happily, and Kyuubi smiled. There was a flash of light from inside the cage, causing the boy to close his eyes. However, when he opened them again, there was a red-headed woman in Kyuubi's place, who was wearing a Chinese-style robe that was covered with fox. The woman, who was obviously Kyuubi's human form, walked out of the cage, leaving behind a swirling mass of dark red energy, much to Naruto's confusion. "What just happened?"

"The seal does not prevent my soul from moving out, but rather, just my chakra. Since my human form is small enough to get past the cage, I did, but my power had to stay behind." Kyuubi replied, before walking up to Naruto. Slowly, the beautiful woman took the boy's hands in her own, and began to glow red. However, this energy was calmer, unlike the youki that demons use in place of chakra. This energy was Kyuubi's furyoku, her spirit energy. The energy soon spread onto Naruto's body, before diminishing. Suddenly, another flash of light came forth, and a ten-year old boy who was wearing a red tunic and shorts appeared, looking confused as to why he was here. Said boy had crimson eyes with long crimson hair, similar to Kyuubi herself. He also had a necklace made of a bunch of beads. Immediately Kyuubi rushed forth and hugged the ten-year old, crying. "Rei!"

"Mom!" yelled the boy who was now known as Rei. He hugged his mother back, before parting. "Where were you all this time? And where are we now?"

"For your second question, we're inside the body of that boy there. His name is Naruto Uzumaki, by the way." Kyuubi spoke, gesturing towards Naruto. Rei looked confused for a moment, before it hit him. A jinchuriki… the boy was the jinchuriki for the leader of the biju. "As for your first one… well it's obvious I've been stuck here since the boy was born, but as for WHY I've been sealed… I… was kinda… forced to attack Konoha because of a genjutsu…"

"…"

"…"

"This might take a bit of explaining…" Kyuubi then began to explain to the two boys on everything that happened up to this point. She had been taking a nap in a hidden area, when Madara Uchiha, the man who forced her to attack Konoha all those years ago, appeared again to force Kyuubi to attack Konoha for the second time. Luckily, the Yondaime had been there to seal her into a newborn child, who was Naruto, saving the village. She spent five years stuck in the boy, before meeting Naruto for the first time.

"Mom… you really didn't know how people treat jinchuriki…?" asked Rei. "You do know Kumogakure's the only place that welcomes jinchuriki, right…?"

"Hey, I don't spend time learning about jinchuriki! I never thought that someone would try to seal me in a person!" Kyuubi protested, making both boys sweat drop. Before they could say anything else, Kyuubi changed the conversation. "Anyway, you know how you invented that shamanism style? Well I explained it to the kid, and he wants to be a Shaman… do you think you can teach him?"

Rei put his finger on his lip, beginning to think, before he spoke. "Well… I finished inventing the art of shamanism, so might as well try it out on the side of the spirit companion's perspective… okay! I'll teach the kid, but I have two questions to ask first." Then the son of Kyuubi turned to Naruto, and spoke. "Naruto, being a Shaman is a great task. You have to use your powers for the sake of good, and you must help lost spirits find their way to heaven by filling their goals. You also have to take good care of all and any spirit that decides to become one of your spirit partners… are you willing to do all that?"

"Of course!" replied Naruto, slightly offended that Rei would even consider that he would use shamanism for evil.

"Shamanism is a secret that I am not willing to allow just anyone to know. Do you promise to never teach anyone on even the very basics on shamanism to ANYONE, even if they are your friends, your lover, or your children?"

"Well, if you don't want me to, I won't." Naruto answered.

"Well then, I'll be glad to teach you. By the time you wake up, I'll have unsealed your furyoku, and have materialized in reality. Don't panic if you feel too awake to be morning. Either way, Rei Konokyu, also known as the Spirit of Elements. My true form is a giant fox like mom's, but I tend to enjoy going into the form of a giant monster to freak people out." smiled Rei, chuckling as he held his hand out. Naruto's eyes got an excited shimmer as he shook the older boy's hand, before getting frightened by an evil glint in Rei's crimson eyes. The evil glint alone was pretty creepy, but when said eyes are blood red with slits for pupils, that's pretty scary to a little kid. "By the way, if you ever see hands popping out of the ground, dragging people in only to stop at their necks, it's me using a jutsu called Earth Release: Headhunter Jutsu. Speaking of which, make sure to get mom to teach you that technique as soon as possible, because I'm not going to Integrate with you or even become an Over Soul for you until then."

Hearing this, both of the other people sweat dropped, but nodded. Just then, Naruto realized something, and frowned. "Wait! I'm not going to wake up with you in my room, am I?"

"Oh you will, but don't worry. Since my mother and I are pure energy and soul, all I have to do is suppress my energy slightly, and I'll become just a soul, making myself invisible to all except those who can see spirits. It's a part of shamanism that'll only work for biju like me or mom." Naruto sighed in relief after hearing this, since he did NOT want to be questioned by anyone, especially by the Hokage on why there's a stranger following him around, or at least living in his apartment. That'd be awkward, eh? "So for now… goodnight!"

"Say wha-" Naruto never got to finish that sentence, for Rei's fist knocked the little boy out cold, with a sweat dropping Kyuubi in the background. When he woke up, that'd be a bit of a problem…

~Timeskip no Jutsu-until morning~

"WAKE UP, GAKI! MORNIN'S HERE, SO GET YER ASS IN GEAR!" yelled a familiar voice, waking the five-year old boy up from his sleep. Just as Rei had told him, Naruto felt no symptoms of being tired at all, but rather felt like he had been awake for hours. Naruto opened his eyes, seeing Rei holding a bunch of leaves… while floating above his bed. "Good! Now go get dressed and wash up. While you can see me, anyone who can't will just see a bunch of leaves floating over your bed, and I don't want to waste time answering questions to random people. Get ready for training!"

"What time is it…?" asked Naruto, as he jumped out of bed. He looked over at the clock, seeing that it was still 6 A.M. When he turned to point this out, he was greeted with the sight of Rei's eyes burning with passion, muttering something about training until he dropped. While he saw this, Naruto swore he just heard some deep voice yell "YOUTH!" at the top of their voice from somewhere outside. Not wanting to piss Rei off, Naruto took his clothes out of his closet, and went to take a shower. The moment he finished, he got dressed and rushed back into his bedroom, seeing Rei come in holding a bowl of cereal. Cereal… that Naruto didn't have. "…where'd you get that?"

"Stole it from some of the dickwads that kicked you out of their store, according to your memories." answered Rei as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. He sat down on Naruto's bed, and began putting a few leaves in his pocket, before continuing. "All I did was go to the store, turn physical, push down the section with cereal, turn intangible, grab one of the boxes in secret, and finally go home, escaping from the distraction. Now, eat, so we can get to training."

"Okay, Rei-niisan..." spoke Naruto, beginning to eat. It seemed that his new teacher was extremely random for a lack of better words…

Suddenly, Rei popped out of the table, holding a yellow whistle. "When we are training, you will call me Rei-SENSEI, or Sir, understood, maggot?"

Naruto's eyes widened as he caught the evil glint in Rei's eyes, and understood completely. Rei had been being this annoying dictator persona to piss off Naruto for being too slow… "Yes sir, Rei-sensei, sir!"

"Now, before we begin, I need to make sure you know something." began Rei, looking into Naruto's eyes. "One of the conditions that you need to fulfill for my training… you must not reveal your Shamanic abilities until I say you can. Why? So we can piss more people off."

The five-year old quickly sweat dropped yet again, wondering if his sensei was completely sane or not, until he shook his head and ate his cereal. When he finished, he put the bowl in the sink before stretching a bit. Rei motioned for Naruto to follow him toward the leaves, before speaking. "Okay, now listen. Since we won't be doing any integration or over soul training until you learn the Headhunter Jutsu, we'll begin with the basics on shikigami summoning. Shikigami are basically Over Souls that use your furyoku, but no soul. So we'll begin with the basics: Leaf Sprites."

Rei put his hands together, and landed as he turned physical. He rose his hands, crossing them over his chest, and several leaves began to float, being surrounded by green energy. When Rei spread them apart, the energy grew short, cone-like arms and legs, as well as two ear-like points. Two yellow dots that seemed to be eyes opened up just above the leaf on one side, and all of them flew forward, doing the dishes. It took less than a millisecond for the transformation to happen, and less than a second for the sprites to reach their destination. As the sprite continued to do the dishes carefully, Rei explained, looking extremely proud of his invention. "Those are Leaf Sprites, the most simple kind of shikigami, and the ones with the widest range of possibilities as well. From chores to hard jobs, from light punishments to assassination, with the enough skill and enough leaves, they can do it all. Like all shamanism techniques, the technique itself, not counting the medium, is invisible to those who don't have the shamanic sight, unless you add some chakra to it. Despite their small size and cuteness, each sprite has the strength of an average civilian adult male. Only, they are MUCH more useful, seeing as how you can summon them as long as you have at least a small amount of furyoku and there are leaves nearby, they can fly since they are mostly energy, and best of all, they have no souls, so they can't nag at you!"

"AWESOME!" yelled Naruto, looking extremely eager to learn how to do this. Not wanting to get mauled by the young boy, Rei began to teach Naruto on how to use them.

"Drawing out your furyoku for making Leaf Sprites is similar to drawing out chakra, yet different. I know you don't know how to work with chakra yet, but you'll learn later tonight from my mom. Imagine a red orb of energy inside of you, and grab onto it with your mind. Then, imagine another orb of energy in the object you're thinking of, this one being the same color as the object you're using. Then pull the red energy out of your orb and into the orb of the object. Make your energy become a spiral with the other energy, and give it a command such as 'attack the enemy' or 'bring me my sword' in your mind, for the shikigami to follow. Note that you can only give one command to each set of sprites, no matter how many there are. It sounds simple, but it's pretty hard. Try to make one Leaf Sprite and keep it floating around for ten minutes, before moving on to two, then three, and so on. The command you will give it is 'Protect me'."

Right away Naruto rushed to the pile of leaves, getting to work as Rei watched over him. As expected, the young boy was not able to do anything at first try, but after a while, Naruto eventually got a small string of green energy to appear, although it soon faded away. After seeing that, he got excited and continued to attempt at summoning the energy to cloak the leaf, the patches of energy getting bigger every ten times or so.

Meanwhile, Rei watched in fascination at this, for this technique is taught first not because of how useful it is, but to see the student's motivation to learn. While he created the technique, Rei noticed that learning the technique gets faster the more the learner wishes to learn to technique, and slower the less they care. By how fast the boy was learning, it was clear that not only did he have a clear talent for shamanism, but he had a near-obsession for it as well. 'At this rate, the gaki might as well finish learning this technique's basics in a few hours…

Rei's thoughts proved to be correct, for after two hours, Naruto had successfully created a single Leaf Sprite that lasted for ten minutes. Yet the boy didn't even seem fazed… although that was no surprise, knowing just how much furyoku he gathered up from getting into near-death situations. "Congrats, gaki. Now, move on to two."

"Yes sir, Rei-sensei!" yelled Naruto, crossing his hands over his chest once more, as two leaves began glowing while they floated up. He slashed both hands away from each other, causing the green light that surrounded the leaves to go into the form of a Leaf Sprite, floating around the boy protectively. However, one of the two sprites suddenly exploded after two minutes. "…I guess I need to work on this more…"

"You're making progress, gaki. Keep trying while I go look around the village." Rei grinned, before turning physical and heading for the door. He watched as Naruto made another pair of leaves float up, before smiling and closing the door behind him.

However, Naruto did not let down just because his sensei wasn't there, but instead he began working even harder, desperately not wanting to let his teacher down. After all, there was nobody in Konoha that actually wanted to, while being able to, teach the boy when they thought that he was the Kyuubi. In fact, the only people who did want to teach him were the Hokage, as well as the Ichiraku duo. However, the Hokage was far too busy, and the Ichiraku duo was civilians. In fact, Naruto doubted that even if he joined the academy a few years from now, the teachers would teach him anything. Because of this, Naruto wanted to make sure his sensei was proud of him. Even the boredom of doing one thing repetitively didn't bring him down, although he did wonder what his new teacher was doing at the moment… before concluding that it was probably nothing important, going back to his training. Of course, he couldn't be farther from the truth…

At the Hokage's Office…

Sarutobi Hiruzen was not happy.

At first, he was just pissed off as usual due to the amount of paperwork he had. However, he then began getting notices about a boy with crimson eyes and hair wandering around the village, yet there were no records of him being born in or coming into the village, according to Izumo and Kotetsu. Those two were the only ones who actually took guard duty seriously, despite the fact that even they hate it. Yet neither of them noticed the boy come into the village… the child would have to be questioned. In fact, the old Hokage already sent a squad of ANBU to bring the boy to him.

Suddenly, the door burst open, and the ANBU squad he sends earlier rushed in, kneeling in front of the old man's desk. "We apologize, sir, but we have failed… the boy toyed with us… before sending this message to you: 'If you wish to meet me… then come with your own two damn feet, ya lazy ass! Or at least wait until I get there, instead of sending these dumbnuts at me!' What shall we do?"

Sarutobi could only stare with a sweat drop as he began to speak. "Well, by his message, it's clear that he is still a child, despite how apparent talent, seeing as how he escaped an ANBU squad…"

"…actually… sir… he defeated us…" the ANBU leader spoke, lowering his head in shame along with the rest of his squad. This caught the attention of the Hokage, whose head snapped up. "He… used these strange techniques… to bring the elements themselves to life… from turning leaves into little monsters, to forming the earth to create human-like creatures, all of which seemed to have minds of their own, yet obeyed his every order… what's more… he said he invented the techniques..."

The Sandaime Hokage was in shock. Not only did the boy bring the elements themselves to life, including a sub-element such as wood, but he apparently created the techniques to do so? How could this be? He would have to discuss this to the council… "Very well… you are dismissed."

"Hai, Hokage-sama." Spoke the ANBU members, before disappearing. However, the squad captain just got up, and began heading to the door. After opening it, the man spoke one thing before leaving. "By the way… he called himself… 'Spirit of Elements'…"

To be continued…
