Chapter one

A task of great importance

"I wonder how that shadow clone is doing the third asked me to leave behind," wondered a blond twelve year old. As he looked up at an older man Duncan If Naruto remembered correctly.

"Seems odd to be taking in one so young," chuckled the man, He turned to look at Naruto a bit of a twinkle as well as a hint of sadness.

"I'll have you know I am Naruto Uzumaki, the next Hokage believe it!" announced the boy. Duncan gave of a good hearted laugh. At the boy's outburst,

"Such spirit, we may make a warden out of you yet," the man laugh died down a bit.

"So where are we going?" Naruto as he continued to look up at the sword and dagger on the man's back. The man's uniform was simple enough breast plate, and shoulder, arm guards and a long almost white robe the dripped down over his boots. He stopped a moment and a small stone boor frame came into view the gate looked normal small symbols, Time here will move much faster than in your world if the blight is stopped you may come back to find no different in your home. I promise you this if you live you just need to come here and you will go back to your home," said the bearded man as he turned to look at the boy "until then come with me,"

"Yes sir," nodded Naruto, as the two walked into the world side by side.

Ostagar

Naruto brandished his dagger as he ran threw his stances, he looked up at the ruins why he was to train here of all places, Naruto wondered, well beside the fact Naruto preferred it here the since he had not taken the Joining he was often looked down on so Duncan usually brought Naruto here to train with all manner of weapons. Naruto kept it to himself about his shadow clones and surprisingly learned about the memory tick. Duncan was surprised when he learned Naruto could use every weapon he was given to a descent extent. The man was very proud and Naruto was inspired to do more he kept training at a consent rate wanting to please the man even more. Naruto had all but mastered every style of fighting Duncan could teach all he needed now was to wait to grow to full size to finish his styles. The blood was worth it each time Duncan had swatted him to the ground, The frown on Duncan's face was combated by the happiness in his eyes each time he saw Naruto get back up. Duncan vanished from time to time, but still was around enough to teach him the history of this world he was taken to.

"The kings, the elves, the dwarfs, mages, and the darkspawn," whisper Naruto as he looked over the books in the area outside the wilds. He really wished he knew what Duncan was up to the man would often disappear for weeks on end leaving Naruto alone. Entering his second year here Naruto decided to start exploring more than just the ruins. Naruto met little issue Wolves were great even in packs but Naruto's skill with just a single blade was better. The final wolf leaped at Naruto as his blade slipped right threw the wolf before being flung to the side. Naruto took out a grey rag and whipped the blood of as he took the fur of the wolf and after leaving the meat out in traps he continued on into the forest. The ruins there were ruined, not much to look at a small box laid broken but nothing inside Naruto turned to leave when he spotted a girl around his age with black hair. Naruto smirked as he leaped over to her he landed in front of her and giving her a quick bow.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, pleased to meat you," he smiled up at her before returning to his upright position. The girl gave no clear reaction but did not speak, Naruto smiled anyway, before looking around. "You here by yourself, you must be really strong to go around and not have any trouble," Naruto complimented The girl gave a wry smirk as a small fire came to life in her hands the boys eyes went wide for a moment. The girl seemed to step back a moment when Naruto exploded in excitement,

"That is so cool where did you learn that I mean no chakra, and no hand signs what is it?" asked Naruto. As he looked at her hands in wonder "Magic?" asked Naruto as he looked at her hands refusing to touch them. The black haired girl seemed to smirk a little as the fire became brighter Naruto took a step back to give her room as she played with the brightness the girl that give girl a bit of a sinister but innocent look as she played. Then she lost control for a moment and a single spark fell on Naruto's clothing the girl panicked and the whole flame went out of control. Naruto Batted the flames on his cotton shirt as the fire leaped with the girls panic, Naruto called on a few hand signs and a small drizzle appeared. Basic elemental justsu taught in the academy to put out small fires very use full and little control needed. The girl's eyes got big as Naruto smiled,

"It's okay no harm done," he smiled as he waved his hands out dismissively, hoping the girl wouldn't get to worried and run away.

"Snap" the stick was silent but Naruto caught as an arrow shot out at them drawing his sword as the girl backed off. A small group of fully armored men each with the same uniform heavy but similar to Duncan's; each wielded a bladed weapon and shield with the exception of two. Naruto recognized the armor Templar, which would make the mage… "OH great" as three men had their weapons drawn and the mage vanished into the wilds. The group quickly surrounded him, swords drawn Naruto put his hands up but kept on his toes. "this could be a problem" Thought Naruto.
