I have it for Harry Potter and since I got an idea for Naruto to... Here it is. ALL one shots that I may or may not continue! My only rule is to notify me if you take it on. I keep the right to continue my stories as genuine stories.

Main universe Naruto
Crossovers

secondary universe: Final fantasy 9 (and other aspects from other FF games)

Kingdark
I got this idea from 'just one more level' by Stephen-Warner.' It's been a long time since I played the game, but I both own the game itself and I am checking youtube out to verify facts.

+++ Quina is either dead or somewhere in the world. I haven't decided yet. Stupid frog thing...

+++ Shinobi / Ninja are more powerful then in the anime to balance the magic thing out.

+++ Any magics in the game can be practiced by anyone although you cannot be good at everything.

+++ Kyuubi gives Naruto a permanent 'regen' that grows more powerful as he taps into Kyuubi's power.

+++ Other 'fantasy' items, equipment, abilities or spells may be used from other fantasy sources.

Time Naruto: After the valley of the end.

Summary (Naruto takes the place of Quina)

Naruto's power brings him into the world of final fantasy 9. It is only after he completed his 'job' there that he can return to his home. What this job is he doesn't know.

START BELOW

Naruto glared at the small pond. His life had turned upside down these last few weeks. His promise of a lifetime to Sakura down the drain. The people he cared for either thought he was dead or that he had gone rogue. It meant that he couldn't return home. Not easily anyway.

And that meant that his dream to become Hokage was pointless too. It was only because his rescuer knew some limited magical healing spells that he was as healthy as he was now.

He hadn't thought much of it at first. Isolate villages sometimes discovered chakra and thoguht it was magic too. So he had thought it was the same here.

But when Qu-sama had shown him some of his... Stronger spells he hadn't know what to say first.

Oh, who was he kidding? Naruto had barely seen what the Qu-sama could do before he had begged to teach him some of that. Naruto was still Naruto and thanks to his clones, he was able to master anything that Qu-sama taught him very quickly.

Blue magic spells were gained by directing your magic to 'eat' or 'absorb' a weakened monster. A blue mage 'eating' a monster like this not only regained health, magic, loot and even some knowledge in return. So Qu-sama had send him into the marsh to kill a few of the weakest monsters in the area. It had taken Naruto hours before he had mastered the most basic spell. And when he finally did, he had learned his very first spell!

It was a weak healing spell. 'Aqua breath required him to use the water around him and use it to heal small wounds and give them some new energy. And since his clones were all good for one spell each...

No matter how much he tried, he couldn't get more then one spell out of his clones. He had tried and tried but failed each and every time.

When he finally brought it to Qu-sama he simply laughed at him.

"My very foolish apprentice;" The Qu began. "You are simply not strong enough yet to get more then one spell out of those copies of yours. I have seen you creating dozens of them! So imagine a basic offensive spell times a dozen!"

Naruto could have smacked himself for not thinking about it. He had of course worked not only on the spells they knew here but also on his ninjutsu library. Being a member of team seven, under the man that supposedly knew a thousand ninjutsu meant that his personal library was fairly big. Naruto couldn't learn ninjutsu with a glance like Sasuke could. But he made up for it with spamming clones and have them practice it until he could do them in his sleep.

Whenever Kakashi used a new ninjutsu in missions, he showed the hand seals to his team one time and depending on how powerful the ninjutsu was to either be careful or to only practice during team meetings.

Kakashi also taught his team how to create their own ninjutsu based on the ones they already knew. Many water ninjutsu had similar seals. The only difference in them was that this and that hand seal was reversed. It was through this that Naruto would be able to create his own ninjutsu. Especially if he created a dozen or two clones to try and create something specific.

While Kakashi had his flaws you couldn't say that he abandoned his team. One of his most important lessons was to keep the extent of the ninjutsu you knew a secret for as long as possible. This was mostly aimed at Naruto himself and Sakura. It would be a very strong advantage if an enemy attacked and expected them only to know Kage Bunshin and the basic academy ninjutsu.

So Naruto decided to first completely master what he already knew.

Scene switch

Qu watched as the strange human continued his 'spar' against those weird copies of his. When he had first found the child he had thought it was an easy snack first. But when he realized that it was a human child, Qu had hurried to heal him to the best of his abilities.

The odd thing was that his magic told him that the child was both 'completely human' and 'completely animal' as well. It had been strange until he had done a more advanced scan.

It had surprised him to say the least.

To think that this happy and innocent looking child had a magical beast sealed within. A magical beast that he had put back to sleep and had restrained him with his best sealing magics. Thanks to his efforts the child had now a powerful permanent regeneration spell on him. 'Regen' for short.

Normally the regen spell used the user's magic to restore the user's health. It would require a constant amount of magic if the user wanted the spell to remain active. But thanks to his efforts the regen spell didn't burden his magical reserves instead it constantly drained the magic of his prisoner instead.

Qu had lied when he had said that his clones weren't powerful enough to cast more then one spell. It was because of the permanent regen factor that they dismissed so quickly. Since the clones did not have an ancient creature sealed away the permanent regen spell would drain their magical reserves instead. The moment that the copies cast a spell the regen would activate.

The only way for those copies of his apprentice to cast more than one spell was to master them to the point where they required less energy. If they required less energy the regen spell would have more magic to drain from. And that would mean the clone would last longer and could possibly cast more than one spell.

Qu knew that the child couldn't stay here though. He missed his heir even though he could barely admit this to himself. So he would use the first opportunity to send Naruto on a mission to locate that fool and bring it back here.

It wasn't a well known fact, but Qu's race did not have a true gender. It was only when they reached 'master' status that they chose a gender. This happened only in their own society though. Outside of his race's home they would usually let their friends refer them as their preferred race. If only to prevent to being called an 'it'.

Scene switch

Naruto had continued to master his ninjutsu and the few spells he already knew. The monsters in the area fled when they saw him. Naruto had only ventured around his master's Marsh carefully because those monsters were a lot more powerful.

It was when he was about to leave again that a small group of three nearly collided with him.

"Who the hell are you?" Naruto demanded.

The rat, monkey boy and hat boy all blinked.

"Right back at you!" monkey boy retorted. "hey!" Naruto began, "You are the one intruding in my home so I would think you should introduce yourself first!"

"Fine then." Monkey boy began. "My name is Zidane. This is Freya and the boy with the hat is Vivi. We are looking for the Master Q of this Marsh. We need his seal to unlock the doors to Gizmaluke's cave to get to Burmecia. Or so Freya tells me."

"Don't be like that Zidane." The rat lady Freya complained. "I shouldn't have even told you this much. It is only because of my rank that I might get away with it. Both because of the situation and because I don't have much choice."

Naruto shrugged. "Fine. I'll take you to Qu-sama then. Follow me."

Ten minutes later

"Qu-sama, we have visitors!" Naruto yelled when they reached the centre of the marsh."

Qu exited his home and immediately realized that this was the opportunity he was searching for. He couldn't be seen to be too eager though.

When he saw that a dragon knight was with the party, he concluded that it was all but a done deal.

"What is it apprentice that you are yelling loudly enough to wake up the entire marsh?" Qu noted with satisfaction that the dragon knight stiffened. "Score!"

"Master Qu-" The dragon knight began. "We have come here to ask that you unseal the entrance to the guardian Gizmaluke. Burmecia is under attack and I have been recalled. I cannot afford to go the long way around!"

Master Qu realized that the situation was more serious then he expected. It was a small matter to unseal the door. Now that he thought of it, why couldn't he sense his connection with)"

Master Qu realized something was wrong.

"I'm afraid I cannot unseal the door." He held up his hand to stop any protests. "My connection with the seals on the door has gone. It means that either it was opened from the other side by the royal seal or... Or something has broken the seal through rough force."

When Freya opened her mouth, Qu already knew what she was going to say.

"Be quiet foolish girl!" He thundered. "I couldn't alert Burmecia in any way because it only happened very recently. Then I found my foolish apprentice on death's door and was forced to heal him first!"

Qu took a deep breath. He would never admit that he hadn't realized that the seal was broken.

"Take my apprentice with you. He needs more experience in the world. "

"Now, just wait a minute here!" Naruto protested. "I haven't learned everything you could teach me yet!"

"I have decided. Nothing is can change my decision now. You are not welcome here until you helped them and you have found me my foolish heir Quina." Master Qu nodded and then entered the home again.

Zidane felt sorry for the boy -who hadn't introduced himself yet- but another fighter was always welcome.

"Look err..." Zidane began. The boy blushed when he realized that he hadn't introduced himself yet.

"I am Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto." Naruto introduced himself. "Or, as you folks introduce yourself 'Naruto Uzumaki'"

"Alright Naruto then." Zidane nodded. "We need to get to Burmecia as quickly as possible. Do you have all your weapons and supplies with you?"

"I have everything I could possibly need." The boy agreed. "Alright then. Let's go. It's easy to get lost around here. And the protective magics won't guide me to the exit as easily as before."

For the first time since they had met each other, vivi spoke up. "W-what do you mean, it won't guide you as easily as b-before?"

"Before we met, I was a 'resident' of this place. The magics recognized me as such and would prevent me from going into the deepest parts of the Marsh before I was ready. But now, it will only guide me to the exit one last time as soon as possible. After this, we will have to be a lot more powerful to get t this place."

Seeing that vivi still didn't really understand, Naruto elaborated a bit more. "This place is protected by generations worth of blue magic, cast by Masters of the past. Very few beings can attack this place without being attacked by the more... Viscous creatures around here. Those monsters have a sort of agreement with Qu-sama. They will protect the marsh from invaders and Qu won't go on an eating spree and will only eat the weakest monsters. Since we are standing in the middle of the Marsh without being attacked by the monsters, the protecting blue magics will guide me -us- out of the Marsh. After that... Qu-sama can sense whoever enters the Marsh. So when he feels that we return... He will probably test us by sending some of the stronger monsters against us."

Naruto had started walking at the beginning of his explanation and by the time he finished they exited the Marsh completely.

Scene switch

It took only a few hours to go from the Marsh to the Guardian's cave. And when they got there it was obvious that the once might doors had been forcefully blown into tiny little pieces.

"Are there any other defenses aside from the door?" Naruto asked curiously.

Freya nodded curly. "These caves are a remnant from when all city states were still at war with each other. These caves are supposed to be a complicated maze to prevent any invaders from getting through. Unfortunately, since we have been at peace for generations, we decided that the maze wasn't needed anymore and sealed the wrong passages shut."

Naruto rolled his eyes. "So you are telling me that the previous leadership didn't even foresee an eventual invasion through these caves?" Naruto asked again.

Freya just shrugged. "Our current king tried to see if some of them could be reopened. But since they were sealed so long ago, the possible entrances are nearly impossible to discover. So he ordered several walls to be built to defend against any invaders."

The small party of four entered the caves. The right way was easy to discover. They just had to follow the corpses.

"We should burn them." Naruto told them after seeing what had to be the at least the hundred corpse.

'Why?' Freya asked calmly. She hadn't known Naruto for long, but it appeared he never said anything without having a good reason.

"These corpses are fairly fresh so you wouldn't know about it yet, but if left alone, nature will begin the rotting process. Not only that but leaving corpses lying around like that could spread deceases as well. That's the reason I think we should burn them."

"We can't do that now." Zidane pointed out calmly. "Not only do we need to get to Burmecia to see what we can do, but gathering the corpses and then starting a fire would need someone to remain close."

'Alright then.' Naruto nodded. "I'll send a clone to... Lindblum was it?"

End chapter 1

I figured I would be able to manage it if I just followed the rough plot of the game but with Naruto's influence. It just couldn't be so easy now could it?

When I got this idea (originally from 'just one more level) I had something in mind like: Naruto goes to the world of FF9, learns all kinds of juicy powerful spells combined with spells of other FF games and then goes back home to kick some ass.

But I barely got past the initial introduction when Naruto's character was WAAAAAAAY too out of character.

Sasuke just tried to kill him.

And I write him like nothing is going on. Like he has already processed it or whatever.

No. I either will leave this as it is or I will just try a different angle.

I'm working on a new, better and improved version of the same idea.

Let's see if that will work out shall we?
