Naruto Legends
-AN-
Hey there! Welcome to my first fan fiction. Well…this isn't exactly my very first fan fiction but this is the first one I've tried my hand at writing in a long time. Well being a Naruto and Mega Man fan I decided to try my hand at writing something no one seems to have tried yet a Naruto and Legends crossover I've put some thought into this wondering how such a event would go with the Naruto characters I've chosen to partake in this story. I'll like to mention even though the summary should have told already mentioned but however I'll repeat that this story is taking place during the first Mega Man Legends with a group Part 1 Naruto characters involved. This should be a fun experience for both me and you the readers who choose to take part in this venture and bare witness to my take on how this venture could go.
DISCLAMER: Of course I don't own Naruto or Mega Man Legends. Naruto is Masashi Kishimoto's work and Mega Man Legends is Keiji Inafune's as well as the rest of the MM series.

Chapter 1: Break In
It was decided; tonight he would leave the village with the Sound Four sent by their leader Orochimaru to retrieve him. The snake sanin had offered him power, the power to finally achieve revenge on his older brother, the man who betrayed his clan and the village just to test his strength believing that the Uchiha clan were nothing, but a shell of their former glory.
Sasuke Uchiha had already tasted a sample of this power; the curse mark of heaven on this neck had time and time again given him more power when he needed it. Even though felt costly, he at first thought it was all he needed. However that was not so, a certain "dobe" as he called him was quickly if not already surpassing him, and had defeated an opponent he had been unable to defeat after the Chunin Exams were interrupted by the joint invasion of Suna and Oto. The Uchiha was sure at first that the blond prankster would never surpass him, sure he is strong and proven time again that he could keep up and was better than that pink hair kunoichi who was always all over him, and only became a kunoichi just so she could be with him, and try to get him to fall in love with her.
Sasuke continues to walk down the path from his home to the gate, he had thought Konoha would help him achieve his revenge on his older brother for his crime, but he was getting impatient. A offer a short cut to great power had been placed before him and that "dobe" was getting stronger munch faster than him, so if the blond idiot could progress so quickly at such a rate why not he? The heir of the once proud Uchiha Clan. So after molding over the offer, and being convinced multiple times in the past few weeks that he appears to be slowing down, he had made his decision. Do what his treasonous older brother had done after his crime, leave Konoha and obtain the power to avenge his clan. Then after that he will find away to restore his clan, he wasn't sure how, but he would find away.
Little did he know this would not be so, as he continues on his dark path to power he saw a figure standing in his path. It was the last person he wanted to see, his annoying fan girl of a teammate, Sakura Haruno who had a sadden expression on her face once she spotted his back pack.
"Why are you out here in the middle of the night?" Sasuke asked, in his usual emotionless tone.
Sakura glanced down knowing that he wasn't happy to see her, and responded "I knew you would come this way…if you were to leave…"
-Minutes later-
Sakura spent the past few minutes trying to convince Sasuke to stay in the village by speaking of past memories of the times they spent together as Team 7, but the Unchiha wasn't about to change his mind. All of this was leaving Sakura in tears.
"Deep inside my heart I've already decided on revenge…for that is the only reason I live…I will never be like you and Naruto" Sasuke spoke, putting much emphasize on the last few words.
"…" Sakura was in tears again while listening to his explanation on why he was doing what he was doing this. She almost couldn't say anything more, but she wasn't about to lose the boy she fought to impress and gain the affections of, at the cost of her friendship with her best friend Ino so long ago.
Even though she and the pale blond kunoichi were finally starting to patch things up after their match during the prelims of the third part of the chunin exams, she wasn't about to let up on her fight for his heart, especially after what he told her that first day when team 7 was born.
"Do you really want to go back to being alone? You told me how painful it was to be alone! Right now I know your pain…!! I may have friends and family…BUT…if you were to leave…" Sakura continued to cry "To me…to me…I would to be as alone as you…"
He kept silent, his thoughts went back to those of Naruto and Sakura's smiling faces wondering what she meant by her previous words, but regardless of what she said, he was not about to be swayed into staying and gave his reply "From here on out…we begin new paths…"
Hearing this Sakura's determination reignited as her facial expression turned to a mix of sadness, anger, or frustration depending on one would view it "I…I…love you with all my heart!!!" she shouted.
Then as if on cue there was a loud explosion in the distance behind them, Sasuke and Sakura both spun around and stared in shock at the origin of the loud noise. Sasuke had planned on leaving without much of a hassle, but now someone besides Sakura will definitely see him trying to leave, thanks to this turn of events.

Naruto woke up jerking into sitting position in his bed, wearing his comical pajamas and night cap. Though still a little groggy he began quickly searching for the source of the loud noise that echoed through his apartment room nearly causing him to wet himself. Once he failed to see anything he got up and made his way toward his apartment window
"Is there some kind of party someone forgot to tell me about?" Ran through his mind.
Since at times like these with security being so high, he doubted there could be another huge invasion. At least that was the logical answer, but upon taking a look out his window Naruto was stunned at the site outside. He saw smoke rolling through the sky
"No fireworks could do that!" He yelled mentally. What was even worse was where it was coming from
"Grandma …" he whispered in fear then turned to get changed, the source of the smoke was coming from Hokage Tower.
WWW
Naruto was now leaping from roof to roof heading towards the tower, pleading silently for Tsunade to be safe. After a few minutes he arrived on the ground in front of the structure staring up at the top where the smoking was rising from. Seconds later two other shinobi arrive behind the bright hair blond.
"Naruto? Well this is a surprise…I would have expected you to still be asleep, even during something like this." Spoke the blonds' one eyed Jonin sensei.
"Oi! Kakashi-sensei! What the heck is going on?!"
"Troublesome…we don't know yet, we just got up like you." Shikamaru the recently promoted chunin sighs afterwards at his troublesome fellow shinobi. "Just out of bed and he's already gunoh…how does he do it? And I was having such a nice dream too." he complained in his mind, which apparently showed on face.
"If you were dreaming about watching clouds, you can do that later! We gotta check and see if grandma is ok!" Naruto shouted and started to march off towards the entrance.
"Wait, Naruto!" Kakashi warned "We don't know the exact cause of the situation yet!"
"Isn't that what Kage Bunshin is for?" The blond grinned and did the required hand seal.
"This is a welcoming sign."Kakashi took Naruto's sudden show of strategic intellect as a sign of hope.
However as Naruto began to perform the jutsu the door of the tower bursts open. A shinobi rushes out catching Naruto off guard causing him to topple over, the newly present nin stops short in front of the three shinobi who stood before him. The present Konoha shinobi were immediately prepared for battle Naruto however was still getting up.
Kakashi mentally sighed at Naruto's lack of concentration on keeping his senses up, but would worry about that later since the enemy was present. Kakashi and the rest saw a man with a black hood over his head with a mask hiding his face and wore normal, but worn mizu-nin chunin clothing.
What stood before them was a nuke mizu-nin, he seemed actually pretty formidable in appearance and was holding a forbidden scroll under his right arm, and apparently it was what he came for.
"So…you managed to sneak in and rob the Hokage's forbidden scrolls, but now you're good as captured or maybe even dead." Spoke the masked Jonin in a dark tone.
"Tell us what happened to the Hokage you bastard!" Yelled Naruto, as he begins to use "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Twenty Narutos appear lining up with Kakashi, and Shikamaru between them to help encircle the nuke-nin.
The nuke-nin raises an eye brow in surprise at the thirteen year old loud mouth blond's ability to use a Jonin technique such as Kage Bunshin.
"You're definitely the gifted one, now if only you weren't a loud mouth, I might actually take you a little more seriously" spoke in a somewhat deep mocking tone "But alas…you're still a brat." He ended flatly.
The nuke mizu-nin smirked as he watches, mentally chuckling at the blond and his small clone force growl at his insult. "As for your Hokage…she is ok as far as I know, she was on the top floor room when I blew it up as a means of escaping."
Naruto and his clones withstood all they could of the man's taunts and insults, they simultaneously took out their kunai and threw a barrage at the enemy in a attempt to shut him up and hopefully even take him down, however the nuke-nin showed great acrobatic skill leaping into a backwards somersault and landing onto the side of the tower's front walls, then with chakra enhancing his physical abilities rockets off the side and over the Konoha-nin's heads then landing softy in a crouch, and dashes away towards his escape route.
"Oi! Get back here you coward!" Yelled the blond and his clone squad as they pursued their target, leaving the young chunin and one eyed Jonin nearly deaf due to their loud battle cries.
"Really…he could stand to use his indoor voice outside" Kakashi mumbled just loud enough for Shikamaru to hear who sighed and nodded agreeing with the Jonin, while checking his ears for anything wrong when just then five ANBU arrive.
"Fantastic timing"Kakashi mentally grumbled sarcastically.
WWW
Just outside the gate in hiding waiting for their master's new body the Sound Four watched in surprise as the smoke from the Hokage rose into the sky.
Sakon was infuriated, due to this turn of events the plan was ruined and someone would spot Sasuke trying to leave for sure.
"What the hell could have happened in there, how could Hokage Tower blow up?" Of course Sakon could look at this as a good thing, since if things worked out well Orochimaru's old teammate now enemy Tsunade might have died. However for their plan to retrieve Sasuke quietly and bring him back to Orochimaru-sama's lair? This wasn't good the Konoha shinobi by now be awake investigating the incident.
"Well hopefully that old bitch is dead" Spoke the fiery red head Tayuya, who was just staring at the site.
"What did I say about your language?!" snapped the large Jirobo.
"Fuck off!" The red head snapping back.
"Quiet both of you! They'll hear us if you start arguing over something so trivial!" Sakon commanded, just speaking loud enough to gain their attention.
Tayuya started mumbling curses, while Jirobo just went back to watching the village's activity escalate slowly.
Kidomaru tried to stifle his laughter which was barely notable due to the lack of available light. Sakon simply went back to wondering what they should do.
"He better show up soon, or it's our heads on the chopping block for sure."
WWW
Back in the village, another of the rookie twelve joined the active shinobi outside. Ino Yamanaka daughter of Inoichi Yamanaka was startled awake like many others by the incident at tower, the blond girl couldn't do much due to her current lack of jutsu besides Shintenshin no Jutsu and a few tricks she knows, but she really wanted to help.
Her father even though as protective as he is of her decided to place trust in her, he decided to allow her to go spot anyone suspicious among the masses in Konoha (big whoop was her thought). While he went to investigate Hokage Tower.
Ino could only see people sticking their heads out their windows, or running out onto the streets staring in horror at the tower trying to figure out what could cause this disaster. Ino could have sworn she heard a few of them screaming something about the demon doing it.
That didn't make any sense in the least to her, first of all what demon? And if such as demon was around where was it hiding this whole time? The only demon she knew of was the Kyuubi, but the Yondaime's killed it many years ago so…what were they talking about…?
Ino continued her search leaping from one roof top to another until she spotted something that she couldn't ignore. Sasuke and Sakura stand no more than a few feet apart from each other.
WWW
Sasuke and Sakura were stunned by the sudden event, Sasuke would have taken this opportunity to escape while Sakura was distracted (not that he couldn't do anything about her anyway), but this explosion has caused a stir in the village, raising people from their sleep. Cursing this event Sasuke knew now people could easily catch him in the act of trying to leave, Anbu and other ninja could easily track him down. So he was left with no choice than to look for an opportune moment to escape when no one could stop him.
Sakura on the other hand was of course horrified by this event even thought it potentially could stop Sasuke from leaving, but this was not exactly ideal especially since the new Hokage could be in a life threatening state at this very moment. Sakura wasn't quite sure what to do now, besides keeping an eye on the Uchiha.
"Sakura?! Sasuke-kun?! What are you two doing here?!" Yelled a girlish yet loud voice, which both teens couldn't help, but recognize.
Sasuke could do nothing, but groan at this voice; if it wasn't Naruto then it couldn't be anyone else, but...
"Ino?" Asked Sakura, looking to see her best friend and rival who landed a few feet away.
"Like, what's going on? Why are you two out over here?" Ino asked, glancing between her friend and her crush.
As crazy as her thoughts were sometimes she knew better than to jump to conclusions. This definitely wouldn't be a date…it's too late! And these were some of the most reasonable people she knew, but why were they just standing here? Ino continued to glace between the two, quirking an eye brow at the lack of response.
"Hn" Sasuke just grunted.
"Not exactly what I wanted…"Ino thought.
"I-Ino…what's going on?" Sakura managed to ask, her voice showing sign of distress.
"I don't know…Sakura? Are you ok?" The blond asked noticing her pink hair friend's troubled tone, she also happen to notice after focusing on her friend's face that it looked like she had been…crying? This was shown by her redden eyes.
"Yeah…I'm o-"
"HEY! GET BACK HERE YOU BASTARD!" Came a sudden yell from behind the trio startling them. This voice was all too recognizable.
"What the-?!...Naruto?" Asked a startled Ino, looking over her shoulder looking to see what exactly her fellow loud mouth blond was yelling about.
Sakura upon hearing him saw which was usually not normal for her a glimmer of hope, maybe the annoying loud mouth could keep Sasuke in Konoha, but…who was he yelling at?
"Not him…"Sasuke thought, staring toward the direction of the voice. Even though the blond wasn't the sharpest mind in this village, he could quiet possibly put two and two together and realize something was up.
Not long after hearing the voice of the knuckle head blond the trio saw a man running at high speed in their direction. This told them that he must be a shinobi, when the shinobi saw the teens standing in his way he scowled
"As if ten of the same brat wasn't enough…" ran through his mind, then the moment the nuke-nin got close to the gennin shot off the ground and into the nearby trees disappearing from site.
"Who was that?" Ino asking no one in particular.
"I don't know…wait could've that been-"
"HEY! INO, SAKURA-CHAN…! SASUKE?!" Naruto called for the trio a little confused by their sudden appearance. "Come on! We gotta stop him!" As he and his remaining clones fallowed after him.
Ino was left a little confused by the commotion "Uh? What is he talking a-?"
"A nuke-nin." Sasuke suddenly spoke with a hint of annoyance due to their oblivious state."
"He's the one who blew up the tower." Spoke an older voice.
"Kakashi-Sensei!" Sakura yelled in surprise.
Kakashi, and Shikamaru landed in front of the trio, Kakashi's gaze feel upon Sakura and Sasuke realizing that their sudden appearance here was a little unusual, this made him give a quirk with his only visible brow and had a instant urge to question them as to why they were here, but due to the current situation his question would have to wait.
"Great three troublesome people present." Shikamaru sighed. "We better continue before Naruto gets himself in to trouble."
Before saying anything else Shikamaru took a look at Sasuke and noticed his backpack, knowing how unusual this was, he would have said something himself, but decided against it for now.
Kakashi almost sighs, then nods in agreement then starts to continue past the teens.
"Let's go…Sakura, Sasuke you come alone you too Yamanaka we may need a little help." Kakashi gave his command to the three teens, while they might not need too much help and the help of more chunin and Jonin would make more sense this was just to keep a eye on the Uchiha just in case that chat they had earlier might not had the effect he hoped for.
Ino turns to Sakura who was looking at Sasuke whose eyes were staring at the ground, after a few more seconds he looks up at Kakashi then nods and leaps to his jonin sensei's side.
Sakura was relieved when the person of who of her heart's desire stood at their sensei's side. Maybe there was still hope she thought at first, then doubt formed in her heart at the sudden possibility the first chance he got he would escape.
She would have to tell Kakashi-sensei when the Uchiha boy was out of ear shot. Then again he was probably suspicious anyway. Sakura finally took her eyes off her crush and looked to Ino who happen to be watching her to see if she was ok.
"Let's go Ino we should try to help as much as we can, Naruto can't take that guy on alone either. " Came the voice of the Nara clan's heir breaking the girls out of their stare. Both girls looked at the group of geniuses before nodding, confirming that they were ready.

A/N:
Yeah I know I really didn't get anywhere with the first chapter, but this setting up for where we want to go before the story can really begin. Well some of you are probably wondering about the one thing fan fiction is known for allowing fans to do "Pairings" yes there will be there will be pairings, but who is the question well I will assure you no one from the two separate series will be getting together. If you have already seen my profile then you can guess who might be getting with whom though. Well folks for those of you who just read this chapter please review if you wish, good reviews are always helpful they can encourage, but also help in important areas (grammar, spelling, or if I portrayed someone wrong even if I got the name of something wrong). Well see ya later I will try to get the next chapter out soon as possible as long as nothing goes wrong.
