I do not own Naruto, nor do I own Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Naruto had almost completed the secret ninja test that Mizuki had given him, now all he had to do was learn one technique from the scroll he had acquired.

"Lets see, shadow clones... Nah, I suck at regular clones I'd probably suck at super special clones even more. that one would kill me if I used it, same with that one, and that one, that one uses human sacrifice. Jeez, if I didn't know better I'd think Mizuki was trying to kill me." Naruto commented as he looked through the scroll for a technique to learn.

"ah ha!" he exclaimed as he found one he thought he could learn, "Absolute territory, converts chakra into field of energy, mainly defensive but can be used offensively if one is creative, almost impenetrable. invented by Uzumaki Shinji? now I gotta learn it."

naruto studied the scroll and memorized the hand seals for his technique. then once he was sure he was ready he started technique, "ram, rat, boar, turtle, ram, tiger, hare..."

Umino Iruka was worried for his student, for him to have acted so out of character in stealing the scroll of seals and committing treason, Iruka just knew that Naruto must have been tricked by someone. he figured Naruto would go to one of the more distant training grounds, either to learn one of the techniques, or for whomever had tricked him to pick up the scroll. he was just breaking through the tree line for his third choice when he heard, "snake, tiger, ram, turtle! Absolute territory technique!"

a feeling of dread erupted in the pit of Iruka's stomach caused him to stumble and freeze, the same dread that was being felt by the entire village, though most were unaware why they had the feeling.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, The Sandaime Hokage instantly recognized what it was, "oh no, Naruto, I don't think you realize what you just did. fortunately the Sandaime could feel where the AT field was coming from and was on his way instantly.

just after Naruto finished the technique Mizuki erupted from the tree line throwing shuriken at Naruto and shouting, "the beast is getting loose, kill it before it breaks out all the way!"

Orange hexagons appeared and intercepted the shuriken almost three meters away from Naruto. naruto spun to see where they were coming from and saw Mizuki, "Hey, I finished the secret test. can I have my headband now?"

Iruka broke out of his stupor at that line, 'of course, Naruto would trust Mizuki enough to be tricked like that.' then shouted, "Naruto! there was no secret test, Mizuiki tricked you into stealing that scroll for him, don't give it to him, he's a traitor to the village!"

trying to shock him into inaction, Mizuki announced, "Naruto, do you want to know why the village hates you? why you were always scorned, or ignored-"

Iruka interrupted, "Mizuki don't! the Sandaime forbid it!"

Mizuki continued, "-it is because YOU ARE THE NINE-TAILED FOX! the Yondaime couldn't kill it, so he sealed it into a hu-"

this time he was cut off by the Sandaime's fist appearing through his chest, " you knew speaking of the fox's sealing carried the death penalty."

shaking off the corpse of the traitor, Sarutobi turned to Naruto, "Naruto, you are not the fox, you merely contained the beast, but now I suspect you killed it."

Naruto was shocked, not just at his grandfather figures callous execution of Mizuki, but at the revelation that he contained, or possibly killed, a being that had almost destroyed the village.

Sarutobi walked up to Naruto, " Naruto, did you read the whole entry for the technique you used?"

"yeah, mostly, I only skipped the unimportant parts... ok, ok, I skimmed it."

"naruto, you do realize that that particular technique converts all of the chakra in your body into the AT field, also known as the-light-of-the-soul. it could have released the fox, but since we don't seem to be fighting for our lives right now I think its safe to say the fox is dead. now lets go back to my office, you need to learn how to fold your AT field back up. I have some scrolls written by the inventor of the AT field and his wife. Iruka you come along too." then as they were leaving he spoke to the cloaked figures that were moving into the training ground, "ANBU clean up the trash."

once settled into the Hokage's office, and behind several security seal arrays the Sandaime started, "Naruto lift up your shirt. I need to check on the seal that holds back the kyuubi, if it is still there." with the shirt lifted the Sandaime applied chakra to Naruto's stomach, but no seal of any kind appeared, " it's just as I thought, the kyuubi, being nothing more than a mass of chakra given shape, was consumed by the AT field creation technique. Naruto I believe you will end up being a very powerful AT field user."

he turned to Iruka, "I want the academy records to reflect Naruto passing the exams, he was able to infiltrate a secure building and extract something that should have been damn near impossible for a jonin to do. And I am invoking the same laws that were used to pass Rock Lee last year. Naruto no long has the use of chakra, but can still compete at the same level as his peers, so he excused from the Jutsu portion of the final exam."

"At once, hokage-sama." Iruka responded as he left to ensure his favorite student was allowed to become a genin.

Sarutobi began, "Naruto, what you did was a very risky thing, I understand you trusting Mizuki, he was your sensei, but when you saw the danger of all the techniques placed within that scroll you should have realized that what he said was untruthful. You never should have learned, much less used, the Absolute Territory."

"I know, oji-san, but I was just so excited to see a move made by another Uzumaki I had to learn it. it didn't seem that dangerous."

"That technique was added to the scroll of seals because it takes all of your chakra and turns it into the AT field, you will never have any chakra again, even the most basic of jutsu are now beyond your ability to use. You have gained an incredibly flexible ability, but most of your training before now is useless. I have some scrolls for you to learn from, some of the things are very basic and instinctive, others will take you a long time to learn. the first you need to learn how to do is refold your field, so that it is not covering the whole village."

Naruto took a moment to study the first technique written down, focused himself for the split second he could manage, and the feeling of dread that had blanketed the village hidden in the leaves since Naruto had first created his AT field lifted.

Sarutobi nodded, "Thanks, Naruto, now in order to use any of the other techniques in that scroll your field needs to be unfolded, so please do not practice any of them until I tell you. The field creates a Killing-Intent-like feeling in anyone that doesn't consider you a friend or ally that is also within the field's radius. as you can probably guess, that doesn't include many people at the moment. I plan on fixing this as soon as possible, your standing in the village will jump dramatically once I announce that you killed the Kyuubi. it'll take a few days to set up a village announcement, but I should be able to get it done before your team placements.

so the first chapter of my first story is done. I got the idea after looking through the other Naruto/Eva crossovers, there isn't another one where the AT field shows up in the Naruto universe. I don't know if I'll make this a full story, just a one shot, or have chapters that are scenes that I imagine up with this beginning in mind. feel free to use this idea for yourself, I'd be happy to read one that is done by someone that is a better writer than me.
