remember Naruto and Claymore are anime/mangas, and the following work is has no.

this work is a product of two lazy people with lots of pre-planing (on paper that was lost), whose pen names are knoit911 & DeanAngel

In the holy city of Rabona:

"Apprentice Naruto, come here," Father Vincent, a bald elderly man wearing priestly robes called. "I would like you to follow me to a meeting." Naruto hastily replied with a 'hai oyaji' to his sensei's calling.

They walked in silence with Naruto following the man who had been his mentor for the past few years. They eventually entered a room with two other priest already inside. Naruto was surprised to see Father Antaeus and Arebel already there.

Antaeus began with "It's happened again, what should we do?"

Arebel continues on with "Why such a thing..." Father Vincent stood up and the other two priests said his name. Father Vincent stated that "We have no other choice but to call for their help." Interrupting, Naruto, who was clueless as to who they where talking about asked, "call for whose help." Father Vincent answered with two words, "A Claymore."

"But the Law of the city..." Arebel began.

"This is not the situation to worry about the law. If we don't do this, it's the end of us." Father Vincent remarked.

"Wait, wait," Naruto started, "What law, what is a claymore, why is the law against them?"

"I forget just how little you seem to know Naruto," Father Vincent began.

"Those silver-eyed witches, a cross between human and youma, a monster" Father Antaeus asserted,

"Our Law prohibits such monstrosities from entering this holy city."

Naruto, eyes shadowed for a moment after that statement, looked up and fueled with memories of his past he stated with passion and pain in his voice "Why, so what if they are part yoma, they are still Human as well. What did they ever do to deserve such treatment?" Tears flowing down his eyes he continued "Hated for something that was probably not there fault to begin with, a burden you people can't understand," and in a low voice almost to himself "a jinchuuriki."

This place had been his sanctuary from where he came from-a place to find peace within the hell that was himself. Naruto knew why he was here, in this temple he now called home, it was to find peace within him. After he lost control of the Kyubi when fighting the Akatsuki and Orochimaru he could only thing of one thing...his lack of ability and control. Unexplainable (aka:a plot bunny), the only thing that could help him was trying to make a better Kage Bunshin, a Kage Bunshin that could still exist after getting hit. When he had finally completed the task he set out before him, the task that was the only thing that he thought of as the anger and distrust over himself consumed him.

The Akatsuki happen upon his creation, and mistake it for him when they knocked his clone out. Without their resident Uchiha, that was conveniently killed by the Hebi, (Sasuke and friends) they had little ways of knowing the difference. With the clone strapped to the blood stained alter as a sacrifice the Akatsuki began their justu to bring about unending war to the continent.

It was through this damned ritual that brought the lesser yoma from hell to roam throughout the world. The sealing ritual was ruined by the super clones presence and the statue was destroyed and Youma that where previously in another dimension where freed and the destruction of the Clone placed Naruto in to a centuries long coma.

A jinchuuriki, that was the only thought that could run though Naruto's head for the coming days, well other than ramen that is. Some one like him, someone who had to carry the social burden that is inherent with that curse. Realizing that the only way for him to find the other jinchuuriki would be to find something out of the norm...well, something about being a ninja helped in that endeavor.

It turned out rather easy for him to spot the intruder trying to sneak into the premises without others noticing. It was even easier to henge into a bug and listen into the conversation between his mentor and the women. Something about that conversation let Naruto understand that he would have to leave his sanctuary and journey with this claymore. The claymore innately understood where true power came from, the will to protect their precious people. It was true what Father Vincent had said, the claymore had seemed much less selfish then he himself. The priests only concern was for their survival, even to the point of breaking the laws of the city to save themselves.

In the following days that came Naruto came to fully understand why they had to call the women who were known as the claymores. There was a demon that rampaged throughout the temple killing the holy men, and only the claymore was able to find it.

A few days later Clare gathered all the priests together to see if there was any trace of youki within the priests that were assembled. When she finally ended with Father Vincent she realized one priest was missing. The blond haired one. Thus she asked Father Vincent if he knew where he was.

"Hmmm, do you mean Naruto? He is not a full priest yet and doesn't come here at night." he answered.

Clare immediately realized from his wording that the blond haired boy, Naruto, did have access and that meant ... Raki was in danger!

It wasn't until the next day did she find out that the Youma wasn't Naruto, but in fact a corpse.

"I am Yuske Yurimeshi of Tokyo come here to be Baptized." stated the man. Naruto carefully recited from memory the prayers ingrained into him, baptizing his fellow man and making another follower of the god of Rabona. After the man was baptized and left Father Vincent appeared.

"Welcome back Father Vincent, where where you, and why was I needed to help with the baptizing?"

Father Vincent replied, "I was off at the gate of the city seeing Clare and the boy Raki off."

"They already left, why didn't stay here longer for more rest and food?"

"Yes, they said that the were ready to go on"

"In that case Father Vincent, I would like to follow and travel with then, in hope to repay the debt that I feel we priests owe them."

"Well if you do truly feel that what you are saying is true, then there is nothing I can do to stop you. What I can do is make you a journeyman priest, and help us spread the message of our God."

Earlier

"We are in your debt, Father" Clare said.

"What are you talking about? We are the ones were saved." retorted Father Vincent. "In fact, we are the ones who are in your debt."

"Oh Raki, take this sword with you and support the woman." stated Galk.

As Clare left she thought to herself 'That blond may not be a Youma, however something was off about him.'

-(ScenE cuT)-

For several days Naruto followed Clare admittedly unusual scent until he came across another town. Mindful of his priestly duties before meeting up with Raki and Clare he went to tell and convert people to his God. In one case he ended up telling a follower about the city of Rabona and it's wonder.

As the day's end approached Naruto decided to head to an inn for the night and search for Raki and Clare the next day. As he walked to the inn he encountered Raki just outside of it.

"What are you doing here, Naruto?" exclaimed a confused Raki.

"Well guess what it Father Naruto now! I was so inspired by the power that you an Clare showed, that I couldn't just stay cooped up in that place forever. By the way, where is Clare?"

For a moment Raki looked saddened and worried "Clare is hunting a really dangerous youma called an awakened being."

"I'm sure that she will be fine with with the greatest of the gods help, for he will guide he to victory and stuff. Besides i can tell she is strong and she is still alive. After all she understands and has true strength."

Then the innkeeper came out and said to Raki that he should come back inside and noticing the Priest Naruto the innkeeper mentioned him to come inside when he was ready.

Just then Clare appeared walking through the arch entry. She looked ready to fight "Get away from Raki, Awakened One."

(yes we know a cliffhanger like this will piss you all off, stay tuned to this fanfiction it will be updated in a week) (p.s. All chapter will be over 1k words and we left the Rabona God's name out on purpose – next chapter you will find out why ; )
