Magic Marksman Naruto

Chapter one Meeting the white witch

Naruto ran around one of the street corners of Konoha's downtown district doing his best to get home as the yelling grew louder behind him. Today was his fifth birthday and while he had spent the large majority of the day with his jiji he had been strictly told not to leave his house after dark and he had agreed, until he got hungry and he had wanted some Ichiraku ramen so he had snuck out of his house to avoid the people in the funny masks that usually guarded him though he didn't know why they did but he guessed it had something to do with why everyone else in the village always seemed so mad at him. So anyways he ended up in this mess because he had taken a wrong turn on his way to ichiraku's and had run into several drunks who upon seeing him had tried to attack him which led to the chase he was now going through. As he ran he didn't notice the women in white with a strange pumpkin doll with two locks around its neck walk past him. The drunks didn't notice her either as they ran after Naruto screaming and cursing at him while the other villagers simply ignored them.

"I wonder why their chasing him? Well he looked like he needed help so shall we go Halloween." The women asked the pumpkin doll.

"Can I kill them master?" the pumpkin doll Halloween asked.

"No but feel free to cut them up a little okay" she said with a smile which was returned by the pumpkin doll as it turned around to chase after the drunks and help the boy. She put a finger up to her mouth and Hmm'd for a moment. "Maybe I'll take up another student he certainly seemed to have the energy for it."

Naruto looked up in fear as he found himself trapped in an alleyway. "Crap I knew I should have turned left."

"Ha we got you now you damn brat!" he heard a voice yell from behind him. Naruto turned around and saw the drunks who had been chasing him. There were four in total and he knew he wouldn't be able to get away.

"Prepare to die demon brat!" the leader yelled as they all started to run at him wielding broken glass bottles. Naruto closed his eyes to scared to do anything else as he listened to the men get closer before hearing several sounds of men getting through around and one screaming in pain. Naruto opened his eyes and was surprised to see a short pumpkin doll only coming up to about the men's knees standing in front of him with two short swords on black around the edges with the center of the blade being white and the other blade looking exactly the same except with the color placement swapped and then he looked up further to see all of the drunks on the ground and one had a rather nasty looking cut on his chest. The part that surprised him the most however was when the pumpkin doll started to talk.

"Evil doers beware the cursed puppet Halloween has appeared!" it shouted in victory raising it's right hand up in a victory sign. Halloween then turned to look at Naruto and he had to admit that the name Halloween really did fit the puppet its head reminding him of the jack o lanterns that he saw being put out. "Hey kid you okay."

Naruto just stared at the puppet and finding himself unable to speak due to the strangeness of being saved by a pumpkin just nodded.

"Good now we just need to wait for master to get here and then we can sort everything out then in the meantime." Halloween looked at the thugs and all of them looked at him "I'm going to play a bit more."

The puppet then proceeded to beat up the drunks until they were unconscious and covered in bruises and cuts, nothing life threatening though since his master had told him not to kill them, and he was to bored to continue.

"Did you have fun Halloween?" a women's voice asked from beside Naruto causing both the boy and the puppet to jump Naruto screamed in surprise while the puppet cursed. Standing next to Naruto was a women dressed in a white robe with what looked like a matching white cape and long blonde hair. She had a kind smile and Naruto had never seen a women who had been so pretty and she had a kind smile on her face as she looked at him.

"Not really master those guys sucked I was hoping for more of a challenge." Halloween replied.

"Oh well maybe next time." She said as she looked at Naruto. "Hello there my name is Edea Florence and who are you if you don't mind me asking?"

It took Naruto a moment to respond due to still getting over his surprise at her sudden appearance "I'm Naruto uzumaki future hokage of konoha dattebayo." He said gaining some his exuberance back at the end due to the dunks and his surprise no longer being a factor.

Edea giggled a little at his antics. "Well it's nice to meet you Naruto do you know why those people over there" she gestured to the beaten up drunks and Halloween smirked victoriously as he recalled beating them to a pulp, "were chasing after you?"

Naruto shook his head "Nope I was just trying to go to ichiraku's so I could get some ramen to eat."

Edea frowned a bit but she contributed it to just the fact that the villagers were drunk and therefore stupid she'd find out more later she supposed "would you mind if me and Halloween came with you we've been traveling for a while and I'm quite hungry."

"Sure!" Naruto said smiling "It's this way." He pointed and ran past the beaten drunks very little mattered to Naruto when ramen was on his mind.

"Master right before I got here I heard the leader of those pathetic thugs call the kid a demon I just thought that you should know since it seemed interesting." Halloween told her before she left to follow Naruto.

"That is interesting to hear, more reasons to take him as an apprentice he seems so interesting yet innocent at the same time don't you agree." She asked.

"Not really, he seems like just a brat to me."

"Well let's get a move on before we lose our little tour guide and hopefully my newest vict…I mean apprentice if everything goes right."

Halloween just watched as his master went to follow the blond boy with a small laugh and he couldn't help but bring himself to worry for the poor boy. Several hours later after Edea and Halloween had watched Naruto eat nearly twenty bowls of ramen before he was finally full and he didn't have to pay for it since it was his birthday to Edea and Halloween's surprise afterwards she had Halloween take Naruto home while she went to talk with the Hokage about something. She made her way through the halls of the hokage tower as she approached the office door and knocked on it a low enter was heard from the other side. She entered the door and found herself in a quaint little office space with a desk and some shelves along the wall containing scrolls and books of different subjects.

"Is there a reason that you are in my village Edea Florence the white witch?" she heard a voice ask and she stopped looking around the room and at the man sitting behind the desk. Hiruzen sarutobi the third hokage was dressed in the standard hokage robes with the hat on the desk next to him. He was an old man with a large bald spot on his head and hair gray hair going around his head he also had a short beard and very kind eyes that showed wisdom and age in them along with quite a bit of wariness as he looked at her.

"I was just passing through possibly looking around for a potential student and I managed to find one so I was hoping that you would let me teach them." She said not at all intimidated by the man in front of her.

Hiruzen looked honestly confused "We don't have any witches in the village so can I ask who you are planning on teaching since I'm sure you are well aware that it's not every day that a witch comes into a ninja village and ask to teach an apprentice especially given the bad blood between witches and shinobi."

"Not all witches hate your kind and those that do have more than enough reason to hate you since it is you shinobi that nearly eradicated our kind until the four great witches came into the play and even then the war ended in a draw with only a third of the amount of witches surviving the war and with chakra becoming more prominent the amount of new witches has decreased as well. In case you forgot many witches feel justified in the things they do because of those reasons but we are getting off topic you asked who I wish to teach and I would like to teach one young Naruto Uzumaki." She said.

"I unfortunately cannot allow that Edea." Sarutobi said.

"Oh why not if you don't mind me asking especially after the many times I have saved your shinobi over the last few years even aiding you in the war a few years ago against iwa even though the other witches chose to stay out of shinobi affairs. I'm sure allowing me to teach little Naruto wouldn't be that much of a bother especially since he's an orphan." Edea questioned.

Sarutobi sighed it was true that Edea had helped them during the third great shinobi war and when all the other witches that had been sought had straight out refused to do so and in some cases killed the ninja that had been sent out to talk to them. It had been during the war that she got her title the white witch only being rivaled by Minato namikaze and Kushina uzumaki the very parents of the boy she was asking to train. Still if he allowed it he would have the entire council breathing down his neck not just the civilians but the shinobi side as well due to their mistrust of witches even if it was the only one that helped them during the third shinobi war. He leaned back in his chair and took out his pipe lighting it before he spoke again. "Naruto's situation is delicate and many shinobi and civilians distrust witches and for good reason as well given how powerful your kind are. Letting you train Naruto would have multiple negative effects for him and lead to more distrust aimed at him."

"Why is he so distrusted then why does your village hate him and why do they call him a demon I already have my own ideas and I won't mention them but if you're worried about people finding out I can take care of that and ill even agree to stay near the village while training him so you can watch over him, though I would like to be outside the village maybe a mile or two outside of the village. I'm sure that is reasonable." Edea said giving him a small smile that scared him to the core.

Sarutobi thought it over for a bit the pros were decent for Naruto he would get training and someone to take care of him for however long Edea's training lasted for and he would be away from the villager's glares and mistrust that was aimed at him daily. The cons though we're should he be found being trained by a witch that mistrust would grow and the council would use it as grounds to try and punish the boy severely. Finally he came to his decision. "Can you really prevent anyone from the village from finding out that you would be training him as well as keep him safe?"

"I can."

"Then as of right now Naruto is your student take him as far as you feel necessary to train him but stay within fire country please. I won't ask for progress reports or the like since I want Naruto to stay safe and if you don't send me letters he can't be found and he won't be in as much danger there are people in this village that would use any means necessary to have Naruto under their control. I leave his safety to you Edea, please take care of him."

She gave him a small smile "Don't worry he'll be perfectly safe with me." She said before turning and walking out the door.

Six years later

Naruto looked around the empty room that he and his mentor had been using for the last two weeks it was his eleventh birthday today and he watched as his master congratulated him for completing his training with her. It had been rather awkward to wake up in the middle of the night to the women he had met only hours earlier telling him that he would be going on a trip with her and in his daze from just being woken up had just said ok. He would later come to realize what had happened on afternoon the next day where his teacher would explain what had been discussed with the hokage and he had been excited to know he would be getting trained but had been sad to have been unable to say goodbye. The next six years had been rough since they moved a lot to keep him on his toes as his teacher had said but he had enjoyed every moment of it from his master's intensive training to his arguments with Halloween, they had been the best years of his life.

"Oh you have some presents left for you on your bed I'm sure you'll find them all useful." His master said.

He looked at the bed and saw a white coat (imagine ichigos bankai coat just white like hollow ichigos) a red glove with a ornate gold circle on the back with the yin yang symbol in it and covered his entire hand but his thumb and first finger and finally the pumpkin doll he had gotten so used to seeing, Halloween, at the moment lifeless on the bed.

"The coat is made of memory lapse fiber like my outfit so only jonin and other witches should be able to remember you passing them due to the amount of mana they have and it has great defensive capabilities so you shouldn't have to worry about it being ruined though there are supplies in the box next to it to patch it up, the glove is the completed form of the dimensional gallery it can store more mana and I've designed it to be able to be charged by your chakra and convert it to mana as well as well as tuning it so only you can use it I'm sure you'll have fun with it. Finally my last gift for you is Halloween I'm sure you two will do great together he's your supporter from now on so take care of him. I'm sorry I have to give you your gifts like this but I thought it would be too painful to say goodbye in person." The miniature hologram paused for a moment as his teacher looked away sadly "I don't want you getting sad understand we'll see each other again and you had better be taking care of yourself until then I know how I taught you and you'll do great when we meet again you better have become stronger okay or I'll use you as target practice again" Naruto laughed quietly at that though inside he was terrified his teacher had scary good aim "Until we meet again have a good life Naruto."

Naruto smiled sadly as the message ended before he closed the top of the device that had played the message. He had changed a lot in the last six years he was now just above the average height for a kid his age and he was also a lot stronger and faster. He still had spiky blond hair but there were a few streaks of white in it to show he was his teacher's student and he had nearly grown out of the color orange only wearing a dark orange short sleeve shirt with black cargo pant and traveling boots. He walked over to the bed and he grabbed the coat and put it on it before grabbing the glove and putting that on as well.

"As your master I command you, open dimensional gallery I desire my mana gun colt custom." He said as the yin yang symbol on the back of his glove opened up and in his hand appeared a handgun. He smiled as he felt the familiar weight of the colt in his hand. "Been a while since I held this."

Naruto held up the gun and checked the balance and weight and found it to be as good as ever before he had it return to the dimensional gallery before returning his attention to Halloween. He put his gloved hand around the locks that hung from the doll's neck and focused mana into it from the glove it only took a moment for the doll to spring to life and look at Naruto.

"Hey Naruto where's master?" Halloween asked.

"She left apparently my trainings done and she left you with me to be my supporter." Naruto told him.

"What why would master leave me to be your supporter you're an idiot why should I call you master." The pumpkin said before a hole was shot through his head.

"Who's the idiot now stupid pumpkin?" Naruto said smirking as he lowered the colt he had just used to shoot Halloween. He raised up his hand and focused mana through it before the doll could react and Halloween felt Naruto's mana flow through the locks around his neck. "Is that enough proof for you Halloween."

The pumpkin growled and huffed a fine before facing Naruto "So what now master?"

It surprised him how fast the Halloween had started to call him master but he just brushed it off. "I guess we go home it's only a few days travel anyways."

"So we're going there?"

"Yup back to konoha." Naruto said.

I have finally done it I have written the first chapter of my own fanfic. If anyone can tell me what this is technically a crossover for then I will let them help decide halloween's true form for this fanfic as well as maybe add an oc to it as well if they want to since I'm trying to think of naruto's team (it will be decided by me if no one can guess and it will have another character from the series I am using with this fanfic) for when he graduates the academy which will be next chapter. I really hope that everyone who reads this will leave a review and tell me any mistakes I may have had or anything they would like to see.

Anyways please read and review
