Through my short life I was called many things: demon spawn, bastard child, jerk, moron, failure of a shinobi, threat to the world… But you know-I don't care. In the end we decide ourselves what we are and where our loyalties lie.

"You should give up… on me giving up!"

I don't care who I have to fight… If he rips my arms off, I'll kick him to death. If he rips my legs off, I'll bite him to death. If he rips my head off, I'll stare him to death. And if he gouges out my eyes, I'll curse him to death…

I'm not gonna run away, I never go back on my word! That's my nindō: my ninja way!

Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze. Wandering sage.


Those who betray their orders are trash. But those who betray their comrades are worse than trash!

Kakashi Hatake. Hidden Leaf Jonin.


I will put my life on the line if it means that I protect those who are dear to me. That means you will go no further!

Minato Namikaze. Fourth Hokage.


I want to end this cycle of hatred called shinobi's life. I don't want to see any more bloodshed. I had enough of it during wars. Writing books is more fun.

Jiraiya of the Sannin. Wandering sage.


This village is my home. The villagers are my children. All of them are my family.

Hiruzen Sarutobi. The Third Hokage.


Shinobi are people who endure to achieve their goals… but depending on what they choose as their goal they change…

Hashirama Senju. The First Hokage.


Even though you have been separated, you shall always be together. Until eventually that time shall come when you will become one… You each carry a name… And with a different shape than you had up to now, you will be shown a righteous path, different from the time you spent inside of me. What is true power… …Until that time…

The Sage of Six Paths. Used to be the member of the Hayabusa ninja clan.

Three years. I can't believe it has been three years already since that damn war. It feels like it was yesterday. The sounds of the battle, the cries of the wounded, the smell of the dead. All in all it was a nightmare came true but now…

-Kakashi-sensei!

We now can hear a loud greeting of a certain knucklehead ninja named Naruto. Everyone knows about him, right? Just moments ago he greeted his old friend and sensei Kakashi who was writing his diary's entries.

The 4th Shinobu World War was really devastating. But in the end the Shinobi Alliance prevailed and developed into a new world order. It was a work of progress of course - there were still a lot of tensions between the Aliance members, but at least they were willing to negotiate.

As for our heroes- a lot of things have changed. Naruto, for example, was more mature. He has grown up both in height and in skill. His jutsu repertoire has increased, as well as hand-to-hand combat and sealing arts. Naruto was a sealing master now, worthy of his clan. As for genjutsu… Yeah, not his best… At that moment Naruto was dressed in his usual attire with a sage cloak, a big scroll strapped on his back and a protector with a sign "Sage" on his forehead. On his waist there was another protector with a leaf pattern.

Kakashi stayed mostly the same. The same lazy attitude, the same addiction to Icha-Icha… But at the same time he became stronger. His Sharigan improved to a point it could produce Susanoo for 15 minutes.

"So, Kakashi-sensei, what is our objective? I still got things to do."-Naruto asked impatiently.

"Sigh, what kind of things, Naruto?"- Kakashi wondered. He could guess of course, but other members of their international team haven't arrived yet, so he had time to chat.

"Well, you do know that I'm an author now?"- A little pause and a slight grimace of pain. -" All right, all right, Kurama, we are authors now."

Oh, Kakashi knew all too well. After Jiraya's death his Icha-Icha books were continued by Naruto. For this work Naruto took a pseudo name Arashi Uzu. Let's just say that Kakashi was thrilled, Sakura and Tsunade were less than amused and Sasuke was indifferent. The funniest moment in the situation was that Naruto still hadn't gotten laid, but his books were still a success. A moment, which was still a mystery for those who knew. So, yeah, Kakashi knew all too well.

"So, if you want a new chapter soon, we should get to business as soon as possible."- Naruto continued his speech.

"Our objective is to retrieve a VIP from captivity. Before you ask-no, I don't know who it is, only that the VIP is important to the family of the Fire Daimio."-Kakashi answered.

POOF

"Kakashi-san, Naruto, bro, I'm sorry but Tsunade-sama ordered to send on this mission only you two. Some problems occurred in the Iron country again. So you are working alone."- Newly arrived Konohomaru reported. (Konohamaru isn't important for the further story so we move along)

Our two heroes sighed. Something was fishy.

After his report Konohomaru departed.

Kasumi was tired. Really, really tired. It was 2 weeks since the 5th Dead or Alive tournament. For two weeks she was searching the world for any clues about the M.I.S.T. program, about Rig, Donavan, but found nothing… As if they disappeared from the face of the earth. And it irritated her to no end. Those who know Kasumi personally will say that it's extremely difficult to piss Kasumi off. But if somebody will manage to accomplish this task… Well, ask Raidou.

It also didn't help that Mugen-Tenshin ninja hunters were still after her. Even after she patched things up with Hayate and Ayane, they were still coming by the order of her former ninja clan elders. Damn politics.

At that moment Kasumi was moving on the roofs of Tokyo to meet Ryu Hayabusa. He needed her help for some reason to deal with some Black Spider ninjas. To say that Kasumi was surprised was like stating the obvious. Ryu was called an ultimate ninja for a reason. There were no challenges he couldn't overcome, no enemies he couldn't defeat and no evil plan he couldn't foil. He was ultimate in every sense of this word.

Whatever reason Ryu Hayabusa had … it had to be important. So Kasumi sped up.

Victor Donovan was grinning behind his mask. In front of him were files on six people. One of the described was a young blond male with whiskers (I don't need to tell who was described, I hope.)

"Are those people really so important to us? I know you said they are very powerful but why not just clone them?"- Donovan asked another person in the room. Said person was very imposing, scaring and felt like a completely twisted being. This was good for Donovan because he was completely twisted too.

"You already know the recent history of my world, Victor. The people in these files went through these events. They survived the worst battles you could ever imagine and came on top. Even if we clone them it won't give us much. The originals will always be stronger than the copy. No, we need to experiment on them directly in order to realize how to transplant their powers to Rig. This way is risky, of course, but at the same time it's the most rewarding one.

"I can see your point. But tell me, what is your personal gain in this, ninja?"- Donovan pressed for an answer.

"My, I thought you understood already. I wasn't called Snake Sannin for nothing, Victor. I gain several bodies to transfer my soul into. I must say I'm quite interested in both Dragon ninjas. It's ironic, really. They both accomplished so much during their lifetimes, but they don't know about each other since they live in different dimensions. I want to watch at their faces when they both figure out the common history of their clans."- Replied the ninja with long black hair and a snake-like appearance.

Both evil scientists smirked. Their plan was set in motion. Now they only had to wait for their pawns to arrive.


And cut. The idea of crossover between Naruto and DEAD OR ALIVE series was bugging me since hospital. I hope it will transform into a good story but I need your help. Please review and leave your suggestions. I need to know whether this story is worth to be continued.

Ps. Cookies for those who will guess who is the VIP Naruto and Kakashi must rescue. A little tip. This character was briefly introduced at the very beginning of the Naruto series right before Zabuza Arc. The second tip is in the text.
