Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Final Fantasy VII, all characters, locations and story belong to Masashi Kishimoto and Square Enix respectively. I only claim this fan-made crossover story and any possible original characters and locations; so don't sue!!

A/N: This is my second attempt at a fanfic; my last story was Bending Chakra which I decided to cancel. This story takes place in the Shippuden timeline while Naruto is training to form the Rasen-Shuriken and after Dirge of Cerberus. Main villains are Genesis Rhapsodus and Akatsuki , maybe Sephiroth if I can figure how to bring him into the story. NaruHina Cloud/Tifa.

Chapter One

It was a day like any other in the Hidden ninja village of Konoha, "Tsunade-Baa-Chan!! why do I have to go on a mission now!! I'm supposed to be training to bring back Sasuke!!" exclaimed our favorite hero who also happens to be one of the noisiest ninja in the village, Uzumaki Naruto!

"Quit your whining Naruto! You're a ninja, this is your job! And besides this is a B ranked mission at best" Tsunade thought to herself 'Boy, he sure is easy to fool' as Naruto cheered up. "Now if you're done interrupting let me continue, according to the client his village has been undergoing strange occurrences these past couple of days"

"Strange occurrences? Like what Hokage-sama?" Rock Lee questioned.

"Apparently some of the villagers have gone missing and there have been sightings of suspicious men in armor that glows in a blue light. Among other things there has also been some seismic activity in the area where the men were seen," Tsunade paused for a while then continued "but perhaps the strangest thing is that they think an angel is leading those men and kidnapping the villagers."

At hearing this last part Naruto was ticked "An Angel!! Tsunade-Baa-chan is this a real mission!!" well, things were going normal for the day but now he felt as if he was going on a wild goose chase.

"Of course it's a real mission you idiot!! you're to go to this village and find out what happened to the population there! And stop calling me that!!" Tsunade yelled out as she threw a map aimed at Naruto which hit him right in the forehead; surprising accuracy, and strength, for an old woman, than again she is the Hokage. "Now the three of you will depart immediately. Rock Lee is in charge of this mission."

"Hai, Hokage-sama!" Lee replied "Come Naruto-kun let our youth lead us to victory!!"

"L-let's get going" Hinata said as stood up from her chair near the back of the office.

"Oh hey Hinata didn't see you there, you must be going with us on this mission too right?" Naruto grinned his foxy grin at Hinata who blushed and quickly turned around to hide her face; 'wow I didn't even know she was in here and why is she turning red? Did I say something wrong?'

'Naruto-kun... you didn't even see me, well I shouldn't complain I didn't even speak through this. But a mission with him...' Hinata was both saddened by the fact that Naruto had failed to notice her and also excited that she was going on a mission with her love.

As the the team of hard workers took off to start their mission Tsunade sighed a breath of relief as she reached under her desk to pull out a bottle of sake 'That Naruto, he's so clumsy, but one day he'll become one of the greatest ninja around just like his father' she brought the bottle up and took swig of it and promptly spit it out "Nani?! this is just water!! Shizune!!" even for a leader she still has some habits that just can't die.

Elsewhere in some dark gloomy cave the members of the Akatsuki gathered in their astral projected forms and discussed the same strange occurrences the Konoha ninja have been sent to investigate "Zetsu what information do you have on this?" Pain, the "leader" of the Akatsuki, asked the man who looked like he was encased in a venus fly-trap.

"They don't seem to be ninjas and they use strange weapons" he paused "their base is located underground and there is a pillar of light centered in the middle" Zetsu's other half finished.

"Has their leader showed up yet?" Pain asked.

"Yes he has, he looks very strong" Zetsu's lighter side answered.

"Good, I think it's time we paid this mysterious guest a visit, Deidara, Tobi, go and have a chat with him, convince him to join us." Pain gave the order to them in a dark voice full of authority.

"Us? Are you sure about this?" Deidara was unsure if they were the ones that should go to recruit this strong newcomer.

"Come on Senpai!! we're strong enough to go by ourselves" Tobi tried raising the spirit of his partner but only succeeded in angering him. As the two projected form left no one noticed Tobi give a glance at Pain which shook their "leader" slightly.

End of Chapter one.
