Another new fanfic. This one is another crossover with FFX series. Here, Naruto is set out to embark on a powerful journey, in a world that Sin is kept sealed, but can only be held off for so long

The Legend of Hope Chapter 1: In the beginning

Konoha: 12 years prior...

Kyuubi. It is said to be the legendary nine tailed fox demon. A creature so powerful, that with just one of its tails, it could wipe out mountains. This of course, was nothing compared to the god demon known as sin. Sin destroyed many things in it's wake. But the religion of Yevon kept it sealed off. Machina wasn't as forbidden as everyone thought it was...just ones that were meant for harm.

It's no surprise that sin escaped its seal. Kyuubi, trying to do the world a favor by eliminating Sin, failed badly in the process, and landed near Konoha, where as he reverted back to his human form. A young man, with fire red hair.

Konoha was one of the hidden villages in Spira. Being that is was, it's 'mayor' was a Kage. A champion f the village. In this case, it was the Hokage. This Hokage, was the fourth one, of Konoha's existence. He examined the fallen body of Kyuubi, when Kyuubi chuckled.

"Thank you kind sir" Kyuubi said to the Hokage, before falling asleep.

Later, Kyuubi woke up to see Arashi (The fourth) there, holding an infant child.

"No surprise that you are still living with these wounds, Kyuubi" Arashi said. Kyuubi smirked.

"I don't have much time left. I was foolish to think that I could stop Sin. I am a defender demon. I wanted to help out against Sin. But I failed. The least I can do, is seal my soul into another, to give them my powers" Kyuubi said. Arashi sighed.

"I'm sorry, great demon, that I can't be of any help. But if you're sure, then I don't object" Arashi said to Kyuubi. Kyuubi smiled.

"The Kit. He'll do. A child, who is unaware of what exactly goes on around him for the moment, such as a kit, is perfect. They won't use their powers for evil. Rather, only to help" Kyuubi said. Arashi smiled.

"A wise choice sir. I would like no other, except my own for this. Others may try to eliminate or use your power. Not me" Arashi said. Kyubi began to glow gold. It was ready to seal itself inside Arashi's kid.

"One more thing sir. Allow your son to become a summoner, when he feels like it. I have a feeling that he will be the one to defeat Sin. And make sure that he doesn't have a final summon, as it will do more harm then good" Kyuubi said, before vanishing completely inside of the infant. Arashi smile.

"Naruto, my son. I shall raise you with Kyuubi guiding you. I know, you'll make me proud" Arashi said. It was a bad, yet good day. He lost his wife, while she gave birth, but gained a son, and a new ally.
