Story One
"The Will of a Warrior"
AU. Uchiha Madara conquered the Elemental Nations and all of it's surrounding lands. As an enemy of the world, Uzumaki Naruto and the remnants of the shinobi alliance are banished into an entirely different dimension. Hope is lost to nearly all but Naruto - who will go to any length to return to his home, and take back what is rightfully his.
"Warriors of the shinobi alliance, you are hereby banished from Heaven. Under the law of the new God of this world, I will strip you of your powers, chakras, titles and alike, and you are sentenced to a life of eternal suffering. Beyond the light of this realm, I will send you. No more will you ever disturb the peace of my Heaven again."
Scattered.
That was one word Naruto could use to describe the fate of his people. As Madara has sentenced, they were divided amongst the stars and stripped of their chakras. It was indeed a miserable existence. People became shinobi so they could gain power, that was what it was all about at the core of the soul. Sure, were there more honorable reasons above it all? Yes. Some wanted to protect their loved ones, homes and freedom alike.
So once years of hard work, sweat and blood were taken away from you so easily and in mere seconds, the reality of being as weak as any other civilian was a harsh.
It had been four months since then. Naruto had been only a mere teenager, now he was a teenager that had no special attributes. Reality was a cruel master. And everyday, the nightmare would turn and it would bother his sleep. When he had awoken from his banishment, the blonde found himself in the middle of no-where drifting at sea - left for dead. What a meaningless way to die in his opinion.
Luckily, he had been saved by a passing ship.
The Captain of said ship was certainly ominous. His comrades had called him, "Dragon."

END
This is a Naruto X One Piece crossover idea that's been in my mind. And no, I'm not abandoning my other story. I'm just on a writer's block, like a million others.
