Hi this is my first fic and I'm already scared of reviews. This is Naruto in a different world which is kinda like Rurouni Kenshin but not. Anyway on with the first chapter!


Tale of the Wandering Swordsman

Chapter 1. A meeting that will rock the earth

20 years ago in a far off world where almighty beings called Bijou ruled the land with terrifying powers that could level an entire country with merely a swish of their tale. But through all their hardships, there was one shining ray of hope, one key to freedom but to get that key one must sacrifice their own life and stay in the Shingami's stomach for all eternity to keep the victim of the powerful technique in there as well.

Only one person was up for the task, and was going to sacrifice himself to stop this pointless suffering and death. To do this, he challenged the king of the bijou, the king of the foxes, the demon that was more powerful than Kami. Kyubii the nine tailed fox.

That person faced that demon head on without batting an eye, without showing any signs of fear, knowing that he could win, he had practised the technique and was confident he could do it blindfolded.

Unfortunately, the key that everyone hoped would bring peace did not fit the lock. The Kyubii was far too big and powerful to fit in the Shingami's stomach, so the Shingami offered a different deal which has been clouded with mystery ever since that fateful day.


Now in the 21st year of peace we follow the tale of a wandering swordsman.

"Hey! Get back here!"

"No way!" The boy shouted running through the crowd like it was all you could eat day at whatever ramen store this town had. Then he suddenly turned into an alleyway.

"Yes! Got him now, that alleyways a dead end." The policeman smirked in triumph. Only to cry in surprise and sadness when he was nowhere to be found.

"Good I lost him" Said the boy on top of the roof still eating the cup of ramen he stole. Then pulled out a map out of nowhere and started consulting it. "Now, if I was there then I went that way so I'm here or did I..." He mumbled, jumping down and making his way towards the main street where their was a massive crowd and he noticed that nearly everyone had been looking at him in fear but seemed to be used to it.

It was very easy to distinguish him from the crowd because of the bright orange robe he wore and his golden yellow hair. If that didn't make it easy enough, he had a 2 metre sword hanging from his waist so he was lucky that the policeman had gone otherwise he would be on the run again.

Suddenly the map spilt in two and the boy was surprised to find that instead of Nibi Valley, there was a girl with long black hair going down to her waist with pale skin and D-cup breasts wearing a purple top and blue trousers.

"Hey," he shouted as realization dawned on him that a famous valley did not turn into a girl. "What was that for?" The girl did not seem to hear and snarled her teeth.

"Fight me!" She said holding her sword directly in front of her.

The boy just stared at her in confusion. "Why?"

" Don't play games with me," She said as she raised her sword. "With a sword like that you're defiantly the Oni Kenkaku (demon swordsman) and you will never hurt this town again!" She swung her sword down towards him then looked up expecting a sword to greet her but all she saw was a flat man laying on the ground. A huge anime sweat drop went down her the side of her head. "This is the Oni Kenkaku?"

"Nope!" He said as he lifted his head. " I'm Naruto Uzimaki, nice to meet you," He replied as he walked over and shook her hand. "and why did you attack me! That really hurt."

"Why didn't you defend yourself" She countered.

"Because I can't." Naruto said simply but she didn't looked convinced at all and was looking at the long, scratch that, very long sword.

"Then why do you carry that thing around. Isn't it really heavy?"

"Nope!" Naruto calmly replied "And as a bonus no-one bothers me because of it, except you that is."

"So do you know how to use it?" She inquired.

"Nope!" Naruto said again for the 3rd time. "But I can swing it around." Naruto demonstrated by drawing the sword and swinging it around the busy main road until the policeman saw him. "Ah! Hide me quick." exclaimed Naruto ducking behind her until the policeman gave up and walked away. A slient phew came out of Naruto's mouth. When The girl decided to speak up.

"Are you gonna stay there all day?"

"Can I?"

"No."

"Ok." Naruto got out of his hiding place and faced the light. "Anyway I better get going can I stay with you?"

"Staying in this village would mean getting rid of your sword"

"Why?"

"Because the guy who I thought you were was the Oni Kenkaku who has been the ruler here since 13 years ago and has placed a ban on swords so if anyone is caught having a sword that person will die?"

"So how come you have a sword?

"Because I hide them very well."

"Ok. No-one will let me stay with them because of this guy who is the ruler has placed a ban on swords and if anyone is seen helping me they will be killed."

"Right." She confirmed, nodding her head.

"So all I have to do is beat this guy up then I can get a place to stay" He said smiling.

"What?" She couldn't comprehend what he just said. She had been training for thirteen years to beat him and this guy strolls in and expects to beat him without even knowing how to use a normal sword never mind a 2 metre one. "Are you crazy? You don't even know how to use a sword."

"Did you not see my awesome swinging?"

"I counted 22 openings and 2 self injury's."

"Whatever, I'm gonna beat him." Naruto started walking.

"Its the other way." Naruto walked the other way. The girl wished him good luck "You'll need it."

"Thanks." The girl started walking away 'Naruto sure is weird but theres something about him I can't put my finger on' Naruto's shout broke her train of thought.

"What?" She asked him.

"I forget to ask your name."

"Oh. Sorry its Hinata Hyuga." She outstretched her hand.

"Nice to meet you, Hinata Hyuga." He grabbed her hand and shook it. "Hope this isn't the last time I see you."
