Please read this!
What's up people? Sorry it took so long to make this one, but I have a good reason. If any of you have played a custom robo game, you know that, no matter how fun the game is, the battles are repetitive as hell. So a lot of the time was trying to not make the battles too similar.
I have a lot to talk about in this one, so please bear with me.
When this chapter appears on the site, the poll will be closed and I'll be working on the winning fic, which is the Ulquiorra one. It's funny because, when I started the poll, I wanted to close it during spring break. Talk about timing!
Taking that entire month to do this made me realized why people update their fics the way they do. Would you guys prefer I update like everyone else does or that I continue the way I do? I honestly won't mind if you want me to work the same way as the people who have more experience than me.
I also decided to show you a list of the fics I have in mind for later:
-The other 2 fics that were in the poll. (The poll was really to decide which fic would get that specific scenario)
-A Naruto-ff12 crossover
-a Naruto-Skyrim crossover
-2 more Naruto stroies (one of them being a "Naruto gets banished, goes to the west and becomes emperor" scenario)
-A Naruto-bleach crossover
-A Naruto-One Piece crossover (Before getting your hopes up too high; It's a Naruto gets executed and comes back as a One piece character scenario... who the character is remains a secret)
and the two challenges given to me on the Harry Aizen reviews
somethings I'm curious about:
1) On 1 of the challenges, Harry has to have the abilities of Itachi, Madara, Obito, Sasuke and Kakashi. And that's only bloodline related.
I am asking this: Can I remove Kakashi from the list? Harry will already have the chidori so the Raikiri is kinda...Redundant i guess is the word i'm looking for, if it's even spelled right.
Harry will have Obito's mangekyo and I'm sure you all know it's the same as Kakashi's.
I don't intend on giving summons, since they're not given by blood. (for example, Sasuke having the bird summons doesn't mean Harry will have them)
And the Rasengan? *smirks* let's just say Kakashi's not the only way to learn it.
2) In the DBZ fic that was in the poll; do you want it to remain just Goku or would you prefer one of the 2 following options:
-Just Hatchiyack (I saw plan to eradicate the super saiyans recently)
or
-Naruto is split into 9 villains and merged back togetther (Like in tremor230's fic: the many who were one.)
3) Should I make a "Fic" where I put author's notes for messages and questions I have to give/ask you for when I'm working on the next fic/chapter?
I have been wanting to tell you all these things i wrote above, but couldn't because I had no fic to update.
Little quick note before the fic:
The prologue and part of chapter were made when I had writer's block on harry Aizen, so they may seem more fast-paced then the rest of the story.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Custom Robo: White Maelstrom.
Naruto was not having a good day. He received a mission: to team up with four fellow ninja and bring the deserter and his teammate, Sasuke Uchiha, back to Konoha, the village hidden in the leaves. Naruto was the pariah of the village while Sasuke was the last of his clan; the village hated Naruto and spoiled Sasuke rotten.
On a part of the village's country there was a place called the Valley of the End. That's where Naruto caught up to Sasuke and fought him. The fight seemed to have lasted for hours; whenever one had the upper hand, the other would suddenly catch a second wind and overpower his opponent and the cycle repeated itself.
"Let's finish this, NARUTO!" Screamed Sasuke as he prepared his strongest attack: the Chidori or the thousand birds.
"I'll bring you back, EVEN IF I HAVE TO BREAK YOUR ARMS AND LEGS!" Responded Naruto with his voice being more feral due to the Chakra from the Kyubbi sealed within him. He prepared his own strongest move: the Rasengan or the Spiraling orb.
Both shinobi charged at each other with the intent on putting an end to this fight. Both attacks clashed, causing destruction around them.
As a last resort, Sasuke sent the lightning clad fist directly on Naruto's navel, unknowingly striking the seal. Naruto mustered all of his remaining Chakra to his free fist and decked Sasuke as hard as possible. Due to exhaustion and the hardest punch he ever felt, Sasuke succumbed to unconsciousness.
Naruto, however, had another problem. The seal was reacting in a strange way.
Within his mind rested the almighty Nine-Tailed Fox. The seal was meant for Naruto to absorb its power and make it his own. But Sasuke's desperate attack caused the seal the speed up in its process.
"What is this feeling? Oh no… the amount of power at so fast a pace is creating a rip in the time and space continuum." Realized the mightiest of demons.
The rip absorbed Naruto. Any human would be torn apart, but the demonic power he absorbed through the seal made him a half-demon and allowed him to survive the transportation. But when he would regain consciousness, he would be in a world he never knew…
Chapter 1: A new world and friendship.
Naruto grumbled as he regained consciousness, he opened his eyes and saw that he was in a forest. The weird thing was that the grass felt artificial. He got up and touched the trees, only to find their made of metal.
"An artificial nature… where am I?" He wondered.
Suddenly, his brain started giving him information and memories that weren't his. Had it not been for his favorite technique, the Shadow clone jutsu, allowing him to make solid clones of himself and made him able to process memories from multiple perspectives at a time, he would be brain-dead by the amount of memories he was receiving.
It was not until a few minutes of registration that he realized the memories belonged to Kyuubi.
"So the seal made me consume it whole, both its power and knowledge. " He could not come up with anything else since the fox's knowledge already improved his intellect to narrow it down to one conclusion. The power boost wasn't as amazing as he thought… until he felt where the power was. He turned back to where he woke up and found a dark red cube. He could feel the demonic chakra oozing from it. When he was about to pick it up, he noticed something off with his hands.
"Claws…Did the absorption give me more fox-like features?" He asked himself as he reached for his head and, sure enough, he felt two fox ears while he looked over his shoulder and found he had a new tail.
"Hopefully he had a way to hide them, if he ever took a human form." He said as he searched in the memories of the fox. Fortunately, he found that suppressing the amount of youki below one tail's worth, none of the features were visible or tangible. The last thing he needed was for his new life to be even worse than the previous one. He also found that he could make clothes out of youki and made an orange shirt with black pants.
He picked up the cube and put it in his pocket and, with his new sense of hearing, followed the sounds that led towards civilization.
"At least, it will be a fresh start in life." He told himself, hopeful, as kept going forward. He was far from upset with this new development; he had an opportunity to live without anyone wanting his death.
He soon found a building that reminded him of the academy. While it was nowhere near as big, it had children running around and having fun. Except a blue-haired girl, about 10 years old if he had to guess, who was being picked on by her peers. The girl seemed to have a strange aura around her and made everyone around her react negatively toward her. He saw three adults, with white coats and paper mask on their mouths, walking towards the girl. He was enraged when he saw they were trying to drag her somewhere against her will. He knew he had to step in.
The scientists thought this was an easy job: take the girl to the lab and find out why she is so different from the rest of the kids.
"We really need you to come to the lab with us." One of them said.
"I don't care! I don't even know you; I can follow someone I don't know. Stay away from me!" She yelled.
The other two grew impatient and tried to drag her to the lab.
"LET ME GO!" She screamed as tears went down her cheeks.
The scientists holding the girl then felt a foot on one shoulder each. They looked at their respective shoulder and found a blond boy looking quite angry.
"Let her go." He said.
"Don't try ordering us around, kid."
"Then, you leave me no choice."
Naruto decided to take a page from Sasuke's book and grabbed the scientists' wrists that held the girl and kicked their faces. (Think of what Sasuke did to the Demon Brothers during the Wave mission.)
The other kids around were confused. Why was this grown-up defending the weirdo? She was weird and shouldn't have friends.
"You brat." Growled one of the scientists.
"We'll settle this the right way. Get your robo prepared, kid." Another said, assuming that the boy had one. All three of the adults were surrounded with a blue aura as they took a battle stance.
Thinking the man was talking about the cube, Naruto followed the fox-like instinct and focused his mind into it.
Robo battle
Naruto looked at himself and saw that his body became metallic. He then felt like he was launched and dropped on the ground. He struggled to get out of his cube-shaped cage.
"Wait a minute, cube-shaped? Did I become what was in the cube?" He analyzed. It made sense; he could feel all the demonic power in his, or rather his robo's body.
"I see. So this is how the people of this dimension fight: through the robos in their cube. I'm the only one who's even trying to help her, so I can't afford to lose." He told himself.
He finally broke free of his cube and looked around. While the nature he verified looked real and was artificial, this place looked downright man-made, proving this world was a lot more advanced, technologically, than the shinobi realm. He then took a closer look at himself. His whole body was dark crimson red, like the Kyuubi's fur, his right arm was a claw that looked like it could tear anything to shreds, he wasn't sure about his left arm but he imagined it was an advanced version of the needle launcher Shizune used back in the ninja world, he looked over his shoulder and saw 9 metallic tails, waving around freely.
He stopped his investigation when his instincts told him to avoid an incoming attack; he did so by jumping to a higher platform to find out where his opponents were and saw that all three were in front of him, on other platforms. The strange thing was that, unlike him, both of their arms were in the advanced kunai launcher form.
"Maybe my right arm is close-range oriented because I'm more of a brawler than a long-range type of guy." He theorized. It was possible, if this realm used these metallic bodies to fight, then they probably do not work out like a shinobi does.
Two of them shot their left arm's projectiles at him; he jumped to another platform, ignoring the explosions caused by the attacks, and charged at the closest one of them, who shot his right arm's projectiles in his direction, making him jump to the ground floor and try to catch them off-guard by hiding behind the platforms.
One of them was foolish enough to jump on the platform Naruto was hiding behind, the hanyou jumped up to him and struck him with his claw, making his enemy fly backwards, looking quite beat up already. One of the other two launched projectiles that were positioned on his back, Naruto waited until they were close enough and jumped out of the way and the projectiles exploded.
"I don't have any explosives on my back. Wait…Maybe that's what my tails are for!" He thought. Testing his theory, he sent one of his tails to the one that shot the explosives. The target jumped away from his position; but when the tail stuck the platform, the tail broke it into tiny pieces.
"Just like how Kyuubi can destroy mountains and make tsunamis with a single tail flick." He thought. "Let's try my left arm."
He aimed his left arm at the one he struck with claw, who apparently had a hard time getting up, and what Naruto saw surprised him: his left arm shot a purple Rasengan! The spiraling orb struck the downed opponent and exploded upon impact, the other two were hit by the edge of the explosion. When the explosion ended, he saw that the intended target was down for the count, but also that the other two received minor damage; something Naruto noticed.
"So the attack itself is powerful; but the further my opponent is to the core of the Rasengan, the less they get injured. That makes sense." He thought. No attack was powerful when the blunt of it was dodged.
"What is he?" Thought the remaining scientists, flabbergasted. "His Robo is unbelievably powerful, stealthy and he knows when to strike. No kid should have that kind of fighting prowess.
Naruto took their moment of astonishment as an opportunity to strike. He kicked the closer one in the face, making him fly back at the impact, and wrapped one of his tail around the other one's ankles and threw him to the invisible wall around the battlefield. He saw that the one he kicked was trying to get up, making Naruto charge at him and finish him off with multiple claw strikes.
"Two down, one to go." Naruto thought.
The last opponent got up and launched the explosives on his back at Naruto. Said former shinobi jumped out of the way and charged at his last target. The scientist then shot his right arm's projectiles and Naruto dodged and went behind the platform to his right. His opponent panicked and looked around, frightened at the boy's stealth.
Once he was behind his opponent, Naruto used one of his tails to trip the scientist, but kicked him upwards before he hit the ground, struck him to one of the further walls with his claw, again before he hit the ground, and finished him off with a Rasengan.
Victory
Once the blue aura dissipated from Naruto's and their bodies, the three scientists flew a few feet back, making Naruto raise an eyebrow in confusion.
"So being defeated gives mental backlash to go into unconsciousness, which means the robos must have limits to prevent killing. The people of this realm are quite intellectual." He thought.
Every kids around were shocked, this grown-up came out of nowhere, defended the freak and defeated three adults on his own.
Naruto walked up to the blue-haired girl the adults tried to take away and asked:
"Are you alright?"
The girl nodded.
"Yes, thank you." She answered, shyly.
"Excuse me." Said a voice behind Naruto, making him turn around and see a man about as old, maybe a few years younger, as the Third Hokage, along with a crimson red-haired girl and a rusty blond-haired boy. Both guys were wearing blue uniforms and the girl was wearing a yellow shirt with "Police" written on it; making Naruto understand who they were, thanks to the Uchiha clan.
"I never thought your clan would be useful for something, teme." Thought Naruto before asking the Police. "Can I help you?"
The three of them were surprised at his politeness.
"You already did, young man." The older man said. "Marcia's older brother was part of our forces and, since he disappeared, we are watching over her. We would have stepped in, but you did the job for us. What's your name?"
"My name's Naruto; it means maelstrom." He answered.
"That's a weird name." The blond boy of the group said.
"ROY! Don't be so rude to someone who stood up for someone else!" Lectured the redheaded girl.
"Sorry, captain Mira." He apologized.
"I find the name quite fitting." Laughed the older man. "A maelstrom is unpredictable. And I'm sure none of the kids expected anyone to stand up for Marcia."
"Speaking of which, why is it that all of her peers are teasing and picking on her?" Asked Naruto as the girl named Marcia seemed to cling to him, being the one who stood up for her.
"They think I'm different. That's why they call me a freak." Said Marcia.
"But that doesn't make any sense." Said Naruto. "You don't see the students tease and pick on those who have different skin color. To do this to you for this reason is completely unfair."
The Police were surprised at Naruto's logic. A thought hit Mira.
"Where are your parents, Naruto?" She asked.
"I was an orphan since the day I was born." He said. "I was told that my mother died of childbirth while my father died in a fight." That was not even a lie. He knew (thanks to Kyuubi's memories) that his mother died of childbirth and that his father died sealing said fox in him. But he doubted that the people of this realm believed in demons.
Everyone around was surprised. That's when a stray thought went through the old man's mind.
"Were you treated any differently by the others because of that?" He asked; making Mira and Roy look at him, wondering what he meant by asking that.
Naruto, however, realized that the man asked this for a theory. If this realm's Police do interrogations, then they would see that Naruto's answer was honest, maybe even sugar-coated.
"Everyone back home thought of me as whatever monster killed my parents and, since they were loved back there, took their anger on me for their deaths. Beatings, getting lit on fire, getting stabbed with knives, you name it." He said as he lifted his shirt, showing the scars.
Everyone around was horrified, at the sight and the story.
"He had it worse than me." Marcia thought sadly as she kept a tighter grip on his arm and cried on his sleeve.
"That's horrible! How could anyone do this?" Yelled Mira. "Chief, can't we do something?" She asked the old man.
"The only thing we can do is give Naruto a home, if he doesn't have one already." The Chief said.
"I don't." Naruto said.
"I have a suggestion, though I'm not sure if everyone else will agree." Roy said.
Naruto, Marcia, Mira and the Chief looked at the rusty blond boy.
"See how Marcia is clinging to Naruto? He understands what she is going through, only on a larger scale. Marcia's home is big enough for a family of four; I know that from being Sergei's partner and went to his house a couple of times, by the way. Naruto could stay with her and protect her when we can't." Roy explained.
Naruto turned his head to Marcia, who looked at him with hopeful eyes.
"If you don't mind, I'd be happy to protect you from these guys." He reassured.
"Please!" She pleaded, not letting go of his arm. This was a sight that saddened Naruto.
"So hated by the others, she needs a crutch. I'll have to teach her to stand up for herself and become more independent, when she gets older." Thought Naruto. He was determined to prevent anyone from hurting Marcia.
"Well, that settles it, then." Said the Chief. "We'll supply you and Marcia with food and money for your studies. When you reach 13 years of age, you'll start taking the license test so that, when you reach 17, you'll be able to get the class A license test to join the police, if you're interested."
"And do my part for the world?" Naruto asked, rhetorically. "How could I possibly say no? Good thing I'm already 12."
"I would like to become part of the Police, too." Marcia said confidently. "My dream is to become a better commander than my brother. To do that, I have to learn what he did and then some more."
Naruto noticed the change of tone at the thought of her dream. He smirked at that.
"And I'll help you as much as I can." He encouraged her.
Marcia jumped in joy.
"Maybe we'll become partners! It would be great to become the best tag team of Robo commanders with my first friend!" She said, but stopped at what she said. "We are friends, right?"
Naruto chuckled and patted her head, making her pout.
"Of course we are, silly. What made you think otherwise?"
Marcia, once again, jumped in joy at the answer.
The Chief of Police smiled at the sight.
"He just arrived and has already made changes. This boy will go far when he gets older."
"You said you are already 12, right Naruto?" Mira asked. At his nod, she continued. "So, when is your birthday?"
"October 10th."
"That's not too far off." Roy realized. "Should we have him start the studies a little early, Chief?"
"I suppose there is no harm in that." He answered.
"How many license tests are there?" Naruto asked, genuinely curious.
"Only 4, but you can only do 1 test per year, failures included." Mira answered.
"So that's why you want me to start at 13? As soon as I get out of school at 17, I can join the Police right off the bat." Naruto theorized. He imagined that, in this realm, 17 was the age to graduate from school since they wanted him to join their forces at that age.
"You are quite smart for your age, Naruto." Laughed the Chief. "You have a bright future ahead of you."
The Chief had no idea how right he was.
That's all for this chapter, folks. I would really appreciate it if you could answer the questions at the top. Also, sorry if it's shorter than what I usually do.
