AN : Yes...I haven't finished my other story but this fic seemed good in my mind so I hope it's good enough on paper...uh...on the internet. This a Naruto X Persona 3 Crossover. Seriously, I love the game although I haven't finished it and haven't bought FES(Cause the don't sell it in Brunei.Hmph!) . I don'tknow a lot of the game but I'll try to make things similiar to the game and anyone out there who knows indepth detail of the game would be gladly appreciated. Plus I would be making up some of my own Personas. I may also change some Personas appearance as well and add in my own techniques.

"Speak"

'Thinking/Persona'

"Demon/Spell/Jutsu/Summon Boss"

Disclaimer : If I owned Naruto and Persona 3, I would be stinking rich and there would be more occult stuff in the anime.

His head hurt. It hurt like hell. He felt something pound against the back of his head. He could have sworn someone hit him. He turned around to see everyone writing notes. He turned to the front only to get hit by a piece of chalk.

"Naruto! Pay attention!"

Said academy student groaned and clutched his head. Iruka just stood in front with an angry look on his face. There had been no disruptions. It seemed like the Pranking Emperor was having an off day.Naruto grinned weakly at the academy instructor.

"Sorry, Iruka-sensei. I'll try to pay more attention."

Iruka and the rest of the class were shocked. Usually, the blonde student would cause something close to an uproar but his voice was meek and if Iruka listened properly, there was a hint of pain. "I'll let it slide for now, Naruto."

Iruka turned around once more and started to explain about the elemental countries, casting a watchful eye over Naruto. Every few minutes, Naruto would groan and rub the back of his head. It was almost lunch when Iruka shouted out. "Naruto! I can see you're feeling unwell. Do you need to go to the nurses office?"

Naruto looked up from his notebook and gave a weak smile. "Don't worry, Iruka-sensei. I'm fine." Everyone raised an eyebrow at this except for one meek girl.

"A-anou...N-N-Naruto-kun..."

Naruto turned around to see the Hyuuga heiress with a concerned look in her pure white eyes. " N-N-Naruto-kun, you s-s-should t-t-take care of yourself. Y-you c-c-could c-c-collapse at any t-t-time..."

Naruto just gave Hinata his signature foxy grin and nodded. It wasn't a secret that Hinata had feelings for the fox boy. Everyone knew except for the crushee. Naruto stood up and packed his stuff.

"Iruka-sensei, excuse me."

The blonde walked out of the door and headed over to the nurse.

"Say 'Ahh'."

Naruto was in the middle of his checkup clad only in his orange and blue boxers. He had a good looking body for a 13 year old. It wasn't musclebound but it showed that he was lean and fit. "Tho...hanythin rong wif me?"

The nurse took nodded to Naruto to close his mouth. "I don't know what's wrong with you. You're the prime symbol of physical fitness! Whatever it is...it has something to do with your mind...tell you what...head over to the Yamanaka shop and ask for Inoichi. He'll help you out. Just say Mikan sent you."

Naruto nodded and put on his clothes. Once he was outside, he frowned. It was clear that the Yamanakas hated him because of the Kyuubi sealed within him.

Yamanaka Flower Shop - 4 p.m.

Naruto went in the shop causing the 'ding' when the door opened.

"Welcome to the Yamana-...Oh, it's you, Naruto. What do you want?"

Naruto frowned inwardly at this. Ino was always a bitch toward him but he didn't care. He had more pressing matters to attend to. "I'm here to see your dad, Ino. I've got something I need his help with."

Ino nodded and went to the greenhouses at the back of the shop. A few minutes later, a man seemingly around 30 entered and narrowed his eyes at Naruto. " What the hell do you want!?"

Naruto kept a stoic look on his face and merely said," Mikan sent me." Inoichi raised an eyebrow at this but gave it no heed. Inoichi made a gesture asking Naruto to follow him into a room. "So, you feel something pounding at the back of your head?"

"No, Inoich-san. More like in my mind. When I sleep, the poundings become more intense. Sometimes, it comes to the point where I feel as if I'm on the brink of insanity."

Inoichi just sat there looking at Naruto. "Fine. I'll help you. Only because Mikan asked me to." Inoichi started doing handseals. In a few seconds he stopped and yelled," Seishinraikou No Jutsu!" He felt his mind enter Naruto and was greeted by darkness. Complete darkness. It somehow unnerved the experienced shinobi. Only those who had experienced pain almost everyday would have darkness. He then felt his feet and ankles wet and saw a stream of water. He looked up and noticed for the first time that he was in a sewer.

He started walking around to hear something pound against metal. He turned around the corner and saw a demon. However, it was not the Kyuubi no Kitsune. Instead it was a gold four-tailed fox with red tips on the ends of its tails. Inoichi eyed the gate and saw a circle with a six-pointed star on it. In the middle was the kanji for "Seal." The gold fox noticed Inoichi and shouted out,' Hama!'

In an instant several papers surrounded Inoichi with the kanji for expel and banish. In a flash of light, Inoichi was thrown out of Naruto's mind. Naruto looked at Inoichi expectantly as if asking he found out what was wrong. "Gomen, Naruto, but I can't find out what's wrong with you."

Naruto could tell he was lying but he didn't press the matter further because he knew there was a good reason.

Academy - Next Day

Naruto shuffled in class and dropped in a seat beside Sasuke. Sasuke looked at Naruto, worry marring his features. Naruto had helped Sasuke greatly getting over the pain of the Uchiha clan being slaughtered by his brother. Sasuke was arrogant but he neede some sense beaten into him so Naruto did just that. After a few eeks, they somehow became best friends much to the chagrin of the Sasuke fan club. " Yo, Naruto. You okay?"

Naruto turned his head towards his brother and nodded weakly accompanied with a small grin. Sasuke was about to ask him something when they were interrupted by Iruka."Class, today we have a three new students joining us so try to make them feel comfortable."

As soon as that was said, three students came in. The first one was a young boy with a cap on his head, a white tanktop and a jacket with a furry collar, black boots and a silver necklace. He stepped up to the front and gave a smile towards everybody which practically screamed 'class clown'. "Yo! The name's Iori Junpei! Nice to meet ya!" He walked over and found an empty seat at the back.

After Junpei came a girl with short brown hair which curled at the the sides. She was wearing a normal white buttoned shirt, a pink jacket wrapped around her waist, a black skirt and a white heart-shaped choker. She gave a giggle and introduced herself. "My name's Takeba Yukari! I hope we can work well together!" She gave a small smile and a short bow which instantly captured every guys heart save for Sasuke. Naruto and Junpei. She walked up and sat beside Junpei.

The next one seemed...quiet. He walked up and instantly every girl had hearts in their eyes except for one Sasuke-obsessed fan and a meek heiress. He had short blue hair covering his right eye. He wore a black choker which had the kanji for "Arcana" , dark blue pants ,a simple white buttoned t-shirt covered by a black jacket which had some kind of emblem which was red , white and black and earphones in his ears. "Minato Arisato." He gave a short bow and joined the other two. Everyone was slightly surprised at his introduction. He just casually ignoring the cries of girls asking him out.

Naruto gave a small groan which was unheard by Sasuke. " Naruto! Seriously, if you're not feeling too well just go home!" Naruto once again gave a small smile and said "No need, dattebayo!"

His head had started pounding more. It was more intense than before. When the blue-haired kid went in, his head started throbbing like mad! Lessons had started and Iruka was explaining about the Hokages of Konohagakure. He looked over at the three new kids and saw they were whispering with each other. Minato sensed someone watching and looked at Naruto. They stared at each other for a while when his head started pounding even more until he fainted.

"NARUTO!"

Everyone jumped at the sudden outburst and looked over where said blonde fainted.

With Minato and the rest

"Yo, Minato, you think that guy has one?"

Minato just gave a small nod. Yukari looked at everyone one more time. "It seems like almost everyone can use personas. That Naruto kid has one...he just needs an evoker and something to speed up his 'awakening'."

"Yeah, but I wonder why here of all places?"

Yukari was about to give him an answer only to be interrupted by Minato. "It's because the Dark Hour seems to be even more deadly here. It's amazing that no one has the Apathy Syndrome yet. We just need to be careful. Besides, Akihiko-sempai, Mitsuru-sempai and Shinjiro-sempai have evrything under control over at the seniors. Ikutsuki-san is checking the teachers. Kororamaru with the animals. Fuuka with the civilians. And Aigis with the rest."

Junpei and Yukari just sat there eyeing the scene." When do you think it will happen, Minato-kun?"

"..."

"..."

"...Tonight..."

Naruto's apartment - 11.59

Naruto was in pain. His headaches were now on a whole new level. He looked over at his clock and groaned. He had strated to sleep late due to the headaches.

Ding!...Ding!...Di-

Naruto opened his eyes and saw that his alarm clock died. Everything had started to look greenish and there was blood splattered on his wall. Hestood up and drssed up in his clothes drawing out a kunai. He walked towards his door and was greeted to the sight of the moon which had turned an eerie yellowish green colour. He heard a squirming sound and saw a black goop with a blue mask heading toward Naruto. He was shocked to see something like that but thrust his kunai into the mask and it instantly dissolved into into red and black shadows.

Naruto took a few steps back and jumped down from the building. He saw a fe coffins leaning against walls. Naruto blinked. Sweat had started forming on his brow. He sprinted toward the Hokage tower in hopes of the old man still being there. However, he was stopped by a large...thing. It was large. It had four long legs bent making it look like a spider, it had two arms holding katanas and it was wearing a similiar blue mask.

Naruto ran forward and gave a battle cry. He tried to hit the creture only to be blocked repeatedly by the katanas. It just wouldn't let up! Naruto was getting tired quickly and was suffering chakra exhaustion from using kawarimi constantly. The creature lifted up one of its swords and was about to swing it down only to be interrupted by a katana which instantly cut off one of its arms. Naruto looked over at the wielder and saw Minato in a relaxed position with his blade on his shoulder.

"Can you get up?"

"H-hai." Was Naruto's shaky reply.

"Good. Yuka-chan. Heal Naruto and give him an evoker. I want to end this. Junpei. Keep the Fool busy."

"Hahaha! Come on, you blob! The great Iori Junpei will beat you up! Yeehaw!"

Minato sheathed his blade and took out two cards. and started flipping them. "Arai Karuto!"

In that instance, the two cards turned into several shards with a resounding "crack". "I summon the Master of Strings. Your master needs your flames. Orpheus! Kasai Heki!"

After MInato said it, a figure appeared behind him. It was tall and had white hair and a white harp. Its face was black and it had red eyesIt gave a resounding roar and created shot a ball of flames toward the creature. As soon as it made contact, the creature was set ablaze but it was far from over.

Minato sharply turned towards Naruto. His eyes showing something dangerous. "Use the evoker! Shoot your head!...NOW!"

Naruto could only gape at the trio's power and he looked down at the gun in his hands. He gave a gulp and pointedit towards his head. As soon as the cold steel of the gun touched his head, his eyes glazed over and he yelled out his persona, "Koganeyajuu!"

With a bang and a crack, Konohagakure was shaken off its foundation by a roar.

Author's Note : Fidgets I think it was okay...Now there are some things here which you don't recognize because I will be adding my own moves, spells, techniques and yadda-yadda-yadda. No likey? Then, just accept it. Because it's my fic and I have a right to it.

Translation :

Arai Karuto : Wild Card

- Minato draws out two or more cards which hold an arcana or persona and fuses them together. The result would be a persona or two would appear and combine two or more attacks into one.

Kasai Heki : Fire Burst

- Orpheus or any fire using persona creates a ball of flames which explodes upon contact.

Koganeyajuu meana Gold Beast.
