Yo all

Yo all! This is another story idea that I had and wanted to see if it will be any good. Originally I had to decide which one to start writing first, this one or my other story: Cold as Death. Well like my other one it's a WH40k x-over(I have that on the brain for a while). And yes I am also working on the next chapter of "Cold as Death" as well. I just had so many ideas floatin around that I had to write it down. On with the story!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Warhammer40k, believe me if I did Sasuke would have died a long time ago.

For the Greater Good

Chapter 1

A heavy mist rolled lazily over the large bridge, an ominous aura permeating the entire area. Through the mist, two figures could be seen fighting. A cry shattered the relative peace that had settled over the bridge.

'Chidori'!

Kakashi yelled the name of his signature technique as he charged towards Zabuza. The former Mist-nin watched with growing horror as Kakashi charged at him with the intent to take his life.

'Damn it Haku where are you!'

ELSWHERE ON THE BRIDGE

Naruto stood frozen in horror at what the fake hunter-nin said to him.

"Please Naruto, kill me." Haku spoke softly. Naruto managed to stutter out.

"K-kill you? Why would I? I don't-" Haku cut him off

"Please Naruto. I have failed in my duty and am of no use to Zabuza-sama now. I ask you to please end my shame." Naruto growled.

"Why would you possibly serve a guy like Zabuza! How can you be treated as nothing but a tool!" Haku smiled sadly.

"Zabuza-sama saved my life, gave me a purpose. For that, I would give my life for him. Please Naruto, kill me." Naruto looked at him for several seconds and sighed heavily.

"Y'know, in another time, would could have been friends." He murmured Steeling himself, Naruto pulled out a kunai and lunged forward. Haku smiled softly.

"Thank you. You will be an excellent shinobi one day." Naruto made no attempt to respond as he brought the knife up for the kill. Suddenly the air filled with what sounded like the chirping of birds. Haku froze in horror. 'Zabuza-sama!' Haku quickly blocked Naruto's attack and teleported away with one of his ice mirrors. Naruto stood for a few seconds before realizing what Haku planned to do. Spinning around rapidly, he took off running in the direction of Kakashi's fight.

"It's over Zabuza!" Kakashi yelled over the harsh chirping sounds of his jutsu. He closed in on the nuke-nin when Haku suddenly jumped in his path. Kakashi's eyes widened. There was no time to alter his course. Right as Kakashi was about to make contact, an orange blur shot in between the Copy-nin and Haku. Blood splattered onto Kakashi's horror-stricken face. Naruto stood in front of Haku, Kakashi's fist shoved through his chest. Haku's eyes widened.

"W-hat! Naruto!" Naruto coughed up blood and turned his head slightly to Haku.

"Couldn't let you do it." He croaked out. Kakashi felt his stomach churn.

'No! no please, don't let another one of my teammates die!' he thought frantically. Naruto turned back to the Jounin and gave a sad smile.

"Look after Sakura-chan for me, k sensei?" He coughed up more blood and then sluped over onto Kakashi's blood soaked arm. Kakashi slowly laid the orange ninja's body onto the ground.

"Goodbye, Naruto." He muttered softly, tears running down the exposed side of his face.

Haku was still frozen in shock, trying to understand why Naruto had sacrificed himself for one such as him.

Zabuza regarded the scene emotionlessly. Slowly the mist began to lift. Over on the other side of the bridge, Sakura began to make out the shape of a body. She squinted and then gasped in horror.

"SASUKE-KUN!" she screamed and dashed over to where he fallen teammate, completely ignoring the scene unfolding around he, or the fact that her other teammate was dead. Kakashi glared after her bitterly. Sakura ran up to the fallen Uchiha and began to sob on his chest.

"Why! Why did it have to be Sasuke! Why couldn't it be Naruto instead!" Now Kakashi glared at her with open hatred. Suddenly a clapping sound filled the air.

"Well well. So sorry to break up this little sob fest." Everyone turned to see the short figure of Gatou, with an army of thugs at his back. Zabuza growled.

"What are you doing here, Gatou?" The seedy business man smirked.

"I just came to make sure that you did your job right….and to kill you of course." Kakashi narrowed his eyes.

"It seemes you've been betrayed." He muttered. Zabuza nodded, glaring at Gatou.

"Indeed. Kakashi, you and I are no longer enemies. Do me a favor and look after Haku." Haku's eyes widened.

"Wait! Zabuza-sama! ZABUZA-SAMA!" but the Demon of the Mist was already off, a kunei clutched in his teeth. Gatou's eyes widened in fear.

"Kill him!" he shrieked and ran to the back of the large group. All the thugs brandished their weapons and waited for the shinobi to strike. Zabuza charged through the group, slaughtering anyone who came in his way, never taking his eyes off Gatou. Finally he cut his way to where the man stood.

"Wait! Don't do this I'll give you anything I-" He never got to finish as Zabuza sliced his head clean off. Everyone stood frozen as the local tyrant's head rolled across the bridge. Zabuza collapsed, as all the wounds he received from the thugs finally took their toll.

"Zabuza-sama!" Haku screamed and ran over to where the nuke-nin lay. Zabuza turned to look up at him.

"Haku…….please do one thing for me." Haku nodded

"Anything." He whispered.

"Please, find your own path. Cease to be a tool and live your own life." Haku froze at his words.

"B-but Zabuza-sama! I just.." Haku couldn't finish. Zabuza looked up at him one last time, and then closed his eyes for good.

"No! no please wake up! PLEASE!" Haku yelled, and then unable to take it anymore, fainted. Kakashi walked over to the bodies and sighed.

"Well, I guess that's it then." He sighed.

"AHEM!" Everyone turned to see the remaining thugs still standing there, looking rather pissed.

"Oh yeah, crap." Kakashi sweatdropped.

SOME TIME LATER:

Soon after,an army of villagers arrived,being lead by Inari. After driving the thugs away, everyone celebrated the death of Gatou. They were all, however, heartbroken at hearing of Naruto's death. They all agreed to return later to the bridge and collect his body, determined to give him a hero's burial. On another note, Sasuke turned out to be alive and fine…..but the only one who really cared was Sakura.

AT THE BRIDGE:

Naruto lay haphazardly stretched out on the bride, in a pool of his own blood. The bridge lay in a deathly silence as every one had left it to go celebrate. Almost everyone. Someone who had been watching the entire battle decided to make himself know.

Footsteps echoed over the empty bridge and slowly a figure made its appearance. The air shimmered and seemed to melt away, revealing a rather curious sight. The person appeared to crouch as he walked over to Naruto. His entire form was covered in strange black armor. A large shoulder pad hung on his left shoulder, expanding all the way down to his elbow. His helmet was rather odd as it stretched over his face all the way back across his head, where there should have been eyes, two vertical red dots ran up the middle of his helmet. The most odd thing about him ,however, was his feet. Two large hooves took the place of where a normal person would have feet. The outlandish-looking figure surveyed the body before him.

'What a shame. He had potential to be great, unlike most of his annoying race.' The figure thought somberly. He turned to look at the rest of the carnage. Naruto moaned faintly, causing the figure's head to snap back towards him. He crouched down next the boy, and began to check for a pulse.

It was there, albeit very weak.

'Extraordinary! That wound should have been fatal! But then how….?" After debating in his mind for sometime, he remembered the boy's condition.

'Well, he won't be alive for long unless I do something." Making a quick decision, the mysterious figure pressed hind to a small antenna on the side of his helmet.

'Strike cruiser Silent Vengeance, this XV15 stealth unit 46, call sign 'Hidden Assassin. Do you copy, over?' the stealth unit waited for a few seconds before a reply came through.

'Copy, Hidden Assassin. What is your report' Hidden Assassin paused for a moment before answering.

'I have conducted a thorough investigation of this planet. The technologies of this place are limited, but the natives here display astounding powers. The local militaries are adept at manipulating The Warp to their own ends.'

'And the Imperium?' the voice over the radio questioned.

'Strangely enough, three is no presence of the Imperium on this planet. I cannot find even the smallest trace of them here.' There was a stunned silence at the other end.

'Very well, this is excellent news! Well done Zan'kaiz. We shall begin to act immediately.' The newly identified Zan'kaiz hesitated and cast a glance over at Naruto's prone form.

'There is one other thing, sir.'

'Oh, what is it shas'vre?'

'There is a human here. He is heavily injured and requires medical attention. He has great potential and there is……..something about him. Some unknown force. Requesting to take him on board sir.' Zan'kaiz held his breath at the pause on the radio.

'Very well 'Hidden Assassin'. Permission granted. He will be taken to medical facilities immediately. We are sending an Orca to pick you up. For the greater good.' Zan'kaiz switched off his radio and looked back over to Naruto.

"Well human, things have just gotten a lot more interesting for you." The Zan chuckled. He crouched over and grabbed Naruto roughly. Picking him up, Zan'kaiz moved out into the middle of the bridge. Zan stared up at the sky expectantly, barely making out the hum of engines and the drop ship slowly descended from the sky to meet him. Zan'kaiz cast one more look out at the bloodied form of the bridge, and then made his way towards the now rapidly approaching Orca.

"All for the Greater Good." He muttered as he began to ascend into the ship, with his cargo. Giving a quick glance at the blond haired ninja slumped over his shoulder, he nodded again.

"All for the Greater Good."

AN:) Alright here we go, first chapter. Ya I know it's weird for me to be starting another story after barely starting another one but hey, I couldn't get the idea out of my head. Well hope ya like it. If you hadn't already guessed, Naruto was taken by Tau. I'm sure most Warhammer40k lovers made the connection as soon as they saw 'WH40 x-over' and 'Greater Good'. I had thought about making it with Eldar, but to be honest…..I would be confusing myself since Eldar confuse me so much. Well anyways Don't worry about me updating Cold as Death as I am currently typin the next chapter. In fact I prolly typing it as your reading this. Well folks that's all I have to say except to review review review! Must have reviews! Ok all, Peace!
