A/N: Hello Everyone, I've always wanted to write a compelling story about Ryu Hayabusa from the Ninja Gaiden in the Narutoverse. I have a pretty good idea of where and how I want this story to go and hope you all can review and give me feedback both positive and negative. The story will of course have a few OCs and additional characters from the Ninja Gaiden and DOA Franchise. The story will also be focusing more on Ryu and his interactions with the characters of Naruto. Most events from the anime will be the same with some added tweaks and changes to fit the story. Then of course the story starts off 10-11 years before The Nine-Tailed Fox attacks Konoha.

Ryu, The Legendary Super Ninja
Chapter 1: The Dragon Ninja is born.
A dark stormy night set in a Village not to far from Konoha, this village was known as the Hayabusa village and many great Ninja gathered from Konoha to honor a very special occasion. Jo Hayabusa was at his wife's side as they were about to welcome a new member to the Hayabusa village.
" Push honey push!" Jo said with encouragement as his wife screamed in agonizing pain.
" What the HELL do you think I'm doing!" Shigure retorted to his husband before she began screaming again in pain.
" Shigure stay calm and take a few deep breaths. " The doctor said as he tried to calm down the arguing couple.
" Guys can I suggest something?" A familiar voice said as it echoed into the room.
" Minato you shut the hell up right now before I smack you!" Shigure screamed hearing his voice.
" Don't worry I'm here too Shigure, I'll keep these boys in line." Kushina said smiling trying to comfort the Kunoichi giving birth.
" Thank you Kushina, these boys could never understand what we women go through, ahhhh! " Shigure said before going into immeasurable pain.
" Keep pushing Mrs. Hayabusa, I believe I can see the baby. " The doctor said excited.
" Thank god get this baby out of me!" Shigure said as she began taking quick short breaths.
As minutes passed of more labor and torture, a child came out, crying as the doctor had him in his hands.
" It's a boy you should be proud Mr. and Mrs. Hayabusa." The doctor said as he handed the newborn to the mother.
The baby stopped crying as the new mother began rocking him back and forth as the baby started to suck on his tiny thumb.
" He's so cute, aww, you wanna see your daddy little guy?" Shigure said as she softly rocked the baby.
" I-I-I don't want to hold him yet." Joe said as he nervously stared at his son.
" Aww come on Jo, this is a moment to rejoice, you're a father now." Minato said as he tried to give confidence to his long time friend.
" Jo it's your son, I'm pretty sure he want to see his daddy." Kushina said adding encouragement to Minato.
As Shigure handed her newborn to her husband his entire body started to shudder. As he started rocking his son, the baby started smiling and laughing as his father rocked him.
" He has your eyes babe, he's so small yet so precious." Jo said as he was perplexed by his son's beautiful jade green eyes.
" Yeah and he definitely has your beautiful looks Shigure no way he looks like your caveman of a husband." Minato said joking around with his good friend.
" Stop it boys, let's celebrate this moment, I want to hold my little nephew too." Kushina said as Jo handed the newborn to her.
" Say hi to your uncle and aunty little guy" Kushina said as she began rocking the child as she and Minato made funny faces.
The four in room began sharing laughs and happy conversation before noticing the baby fall asleep. Then the big question had come up.
" Jo, what are we going to name him?" Shigure said as she held the sleeping newborn.
" How about Minato? " Minato said before Kushina hit him upside the head.
" Hm, how about the character from Mr. Jiraiya's book he's working on?" Kushina said trying to help.
" What was it again naruko, Nareto, Narato?" Shigure said trying to recollect the name."
" No, that doesn't sound right or good, we need to give him a good strong name. Jo said confused trying to think of a name.
" Hey Jo, what if we ask your Father? I mean he could probably give the little guy a great name." Minato said suggesting it to the group.
" Before that, how about we introduce the little guy to everyone else, they prob wanna see the little guy as much as we did earlier." Kushina suggested before Jo ran off.
" Good idea everyone should see the newest member of Konoha and the Hayabusa village. " Shigure said as Minato and Joe took the rollable bed into the main room.
The main room consisted of many prominent member's of Konoha including the 3rd Hokage himself, his students Tsunade and Jiraiya, as well as the White Wolf Sakumo Hakate.
" Welcome Konoha's newest member everyone!" Jo and Shigure said overjoyed.
" Congratulations Jo and Shigure, he strongly resembles each of you." The Third Hokage said as he smiled looking at the newborn.
" So happy for the both of you, he looks more like you though Shigure just from what I see right now." Tsunade said glad to see the couple with their child.
" Please tell me you didn't name him after my book, I'm not even done finishing it." Jiraiya said as he stressfully place his hand on his head.
" Don't worry Jiraiya-sensei we thought about it but Jo talked us out of it." Shigure chuckled.
" You should be proud Jo, I look forward to seeing how he and Kakashi grow up, I definitely see them in the future training like we did as kids." Sakumo said chuckling getting Jo to chuckle too.
The group started making conversation and laughing, congratulating the couple on their new child and comparing him to the new parents. As they made jokes and small talk Jo spat out some congratulatory sake forgetting one important detail.
" Everything ok Jo?" Minato asked as Jo looked as if he had just seen a ghost.
" We forgot to tell my father! I have to go tell him the good news!" Jo said as he zipped to go visit his father.
Jo quickly zipped out of the room navigating throughout the Hayabusa Village, until reaching a remote area that was in the corner of the Hayabusa Village. As he slowly approached the quarters, he entered a candle-lit room with a man with long shimmering white hair in the center meditating in a white shinobi garb. The man emitted a calm aura of stoic silence that filled the room.
" Father?" Jo said as he was slowly entering the room.
" I take it there has been some good news son, I'm guessing I'm finally a grandpa now." Jo's father said with a tiny smirk.
" Yes, I would have come sooner, but, I got caught up with some of our guests, I apologize father." Jo said humbly bowing to his father.
" Don't worry son. " He said as he put his hand out comforting his son.
" Have you given him a name yet" He then proceeded to ask with a unique curiosity.
" No not yet, we thought of a few, but to no success." Jo said as he waited patiently to hear his father's response.
" Hmm, I see, I sensed him being born about half an hour ago and what I sensed was something I couldn't even fathom son."
" What do you mean father?" Jo said very confused.
" The boy is destined for great things, I sense something within him, something truly powerful, he has the ability to do great things." Jo's father said before coughing.
" Father!" Jo said as he quickly tried to come to his aid.
" Don't worry I'm fine, I'm not that old yet, but, as I was saying, the child once he has fully matured I believe will be more power than me Makoto Hayabusa, my father who founded the Hayabusa Village and Konoha with Hashirama, and even Hashirama Senju.
" Father how can that be, Hashirama and Grandpa Saito were 2 of the 3 most legendary and most powerful ninja of their time, to even think that a shinobi could match that strength is unfatomable." Joe said in shock to his father's previous statement.
" Son, it's already happened before Hiruzen and I have done many things in order to forge a new generation your generation, you, Minato and, Sakumo are the future and your children with be the future, and I can't be any more proud of you son."
" Thank you father, I know that our relationship has never been the best, but, I thank you for everything that you have taught me." He said as he hugged his father with tears coming down his eyes.
" Son I'm just so proud of you, and I believe I have a name for my grandson." Makoto said as he hugged his son.
" What name father?"
" Ryu, Ryu Hayabusa, the boy is destined for greatness he shall bear the namesake of the Dragon and the Dragon Lineage."
" Ryu? Ryu. Ryu! It's a great name father thank you I will inform the others of the news."
" Sadly though son I will not be able to see him grow up and become the great warrior I prophesied him to be. My age I believe is going to catch up to me, but do not worry, son, you shall teach him like I have taught you." Makoto said as he put his hand on his shoulder in comfort.
" Thank you father, I will inform the others of the good news." Jo said before bowing to his father.
As Jo navigated through the village back to where the celebrations were going on, he thought to himself.
Ryu, Ryu Hayabusa, my son, I only hope I can be half as great as my father was to me.
As Jo returned, everybody was waiting for his arrival, hoping for some good news. Everybody was in silence as they waited for Jo's news.
" So? What happened? What did your dad have to say Jo? Minato asked as he shaked him in order to get an answer.
" Ryu." Jo said to everyone.
" Ryu? What is that supposed to mean?" Kushina said in confusion.
" Ryu." Jo said again in the same tone.
" I understand, honey, is that the name you wish to give our son?" Shigure said in curiousity.
" Yes my son's name Ryu Hayabusa. I can't be more proud of a father."
" Ah Ryu ok" The group said in unison.
" I think it's a cute name, Ryu. My baby Ryu." Shigure said kissing Ryu on the forehead.
" Ryu eh? my nephew Ryu, I like the name it suits the little guy." Minato said holding his tiny hand.
" All I can say is I am definitely not ready after seeing what you went through Shigure. " Kushina said scratching her head chuckling soflty.
" The Ferocius Dragon Ninja, Makoto I can sense you see potential in Ryu." The Third Hokage said thinking and reflecting on in his thoughts.
" Kakashi and Ryu, these two are the future of Konoha." Sakumo said congratulating Jo.
" Little Ryu, hmm, he has Shigure's jade green eye's like a Dragon, I like it." Tsunade said comforting the new mother.
" Ryu, maybe I should change the hero of my story's name to Ryu haha." Jiraiya said writing Ryu's name in Kanji on a piece of paper.
" Ryu my son, I don't think I have ever loved anbody more than your lovely mother." Jo said holding his son as he slept.
Ryu Hayabusa, the a child prophesied to be even stronger than Hashirama Senju the First Hokage, his adventure begins today.
