A New Master
AN: Hey Guys this is a Naruto and Kenichi the Mightiest Disciple crossover, obviously, but the main thing I want to say is that each chapter will focus on either Naruto or Kenichi. For example this chapter is focusing on Naruto. The chapters will not go back and replay a previous written scene in a new perspective, so each chapter will be new, and lets you see both sides of the characters I'm developing, their inner thoughts and how they portray themselves to others. There will be no Yaoi relations or scenes (unless its canon) so no NarutoxKenichi pairing. But there will be pairings
Last thing Naruto will not be godlike, the elder has the ability to kick his ass in this story (to start with, things may change) the same as he can to the other masters of Ryozanpaku.
Book cover is done by a person named novadash.
Chapter one:
Naruto
The war was over, but it was costly, the field was alive with flame and the stench of burning corpses. Akatsuki was finished, and the Tailed Beasts sealed away forever. Naruto laid in a pool of his own blood, no Kyuubi to heal him in seconds, but his body still recovering unbelievably fast for a human, even a shinobi.
His clothes were little more than scraps, his modesty barely covered, but he could be naked for all it mattered, none were alive for miles around.
He stood up and looked around the field, his eyes quickly seeing his friends, dead by various means, Sakura was decapitated, her skill in the medical arts made her difficult to kill, but that was something nobody could heal.
Hinata, Sai, Lee, Tenten, Shikamaru and countless others. Dead by the actions of a madman. Looking to his feet he saw Tobi's Mask, mocking him.
'I may have won the battle, but lost more than the war.' Naruto thought, looking around him, the last of his wounds closing and stopping the blood flow.
Turning around he walked away, not to Konoha, but to Uzushiogakure. There had to be something the legendary Sealing Arts could do.

After a few weeks of searching among the ruins and finding nothing of note, Naruto was all but ready to give up. He searched most of the island and it was stripped barren, understandable considering how long it has been a ruin, but the anger he felt to those who desecrated his clans ancestral home was there.
He was undoing some protective seals surrounding a cave in one of the few cliffs on the islands, each time before similar situations have turned up empty. His skills in Fuinjutsu have increased tremendously just from breaking down the seals. The most amazing thing was a repair matrix written into the seals.
In essence the seals will repair themselves overtime after being broken, unless completely removed. It must have been a shock for scavengers to be caught unaware by previously disarmed seals.
This place gave him hope though, unlike the rest of the area, there was no skeletons or ruins near this area, in fact he almost walked past it if not for him deciding to use sage mode to find any hidden locations.
After the final brushstroke, and application of chakra, the seal was completely undone. Standing up and stretching his sore muscles, he tried to peer into the cave, but could not see far. Packing up his sealing equipment, and grabbing a torch from his backpack, he entered the cave.
The cave appeared natural, but there was no sign of any wildlife, such as bats, ever living in it. No skeletal remains, feces or any remnant to indicate wildlife. It made him weary and highly cautious.
After walking to a divergence in the tunnel path, he closed his eyes, and began to feel the world around him. Rock had barely any living life in it, besides bacteria and mold, so it was hard to see which was the right way, but something was bright down the left tunnel, full of chakra, so that's where he went.
Naruto walked into a large circular room, obviously man made, full of tables covered in scrolls and books, along with a giant and immensely complex seal on the ground, with a skeleton in the centre.
Looking around, and making his favorite hand sign, Naruto and his clones got to reading the scrolls.
~ANM~ANM~ANM~ANM~ANM~
It took a day or two, maybe longer as time was hard to track underground, but Naruto finally figured out what the seal did, who the person was and what he they tried to accomplish.
The seal was exactly was he was looking for, a time travelling seal, and the person was an Uzumaki who created the seal in hopes of saving his clan and village from its destruction.
He made one error, the cost it demanded.
After looking it over, the seal demanded and insane amount of chakra to power it, so much that even most Kages could not use this seal. Naruto was even unsure if he had enough chakra without the Kyuubi.
Thankfully he still had shadow clones and sage mode to essentially gather 10 super charged clones to power it, and when they run out, he would then power it.
Naruto hoped it was enough, the seal was not large enough to fit more clones. And once started nothing else can enter or leave the seal.
"Summoning no Jutsu" Naruto cried, outside the cave.
A large toad appeared, orange with purple marking and a blue vest.
"Yo" Gamakichi called out, then saw Naruto. Naruto had to dodge as kichi tried to swat him. "Naruto you ass, no message, no visits, everyone is worried sick about you." Finally he managed to hit Naruto, and squash him under his hand (is it a hand? Looks like one.) and smirked.
Kichi was suddenly flung into the air and landed on his head. Naruto was seen half buried in the dirt, pulling himself out, himself smirking.
"Yo Kichi!" Naruto called out cheerfully. Kichi rolled over and rubbed his head before getting ready to jump back into the fight. Naruto just looked down and said. "Not now Gamakichi, there's something I need to say and ask for a favor.
That stopped the large toad cold. Naruto was rarely serious, especially during their little fights.
"Sure bro, what's up?"
"First off I'm sorry for not calling or anything sooner, I've just been busy, and that's why I called you today. I need you to take this scroll to Konoha." Naruto handed a scroll to Kichi. "And this one is for the Toads." With that he handed Kichi another scroll.
"Bro, what's going on?" Kichi asked, he never saw Naruto this serious, unless he was fighting, or about to fight. Well and defending ramen, but that was something else entirely.
"Something stupid, if it works I will see you again, if not, this is goodbye." With that Naruto turned back to the cave, tears forming in his eyes, he turned so Kichi did not see them.
Kichi just sat there dumbstruck, he never saw Naruto like this, he just nodded and left, a plume of smoke indicating his departure.
Naruto wiped his eyes and steeled his resolve; it was time to see if the seal worked.
~ANM~ANM~ANM~ANM~ANM~
Naruto opened his eyes, a large bronze foot wrapped in bandages quickly filled his vision, before pounding his face and sending him flying into a wall. Sensing a follow up attack he quickly pushed himself to the side and saw a large man smash his fist into the wall and dust and rocks flying all over from the impact.
The man was wearing red shorts and a yellow vest, with bandages wrapped around his feet and shins and hands and forearms. His hair was silver and spikey, with some sort of red headband around his head. Naruto could feel and see the power this man wielded. His muscles were larger than any he saw before and his aura was frightening.
Steeling himself, he prepared to counter the next attack, as during his analysis, the man swing around with a vicious kick.
Before he could roll around the kick, a hand grabbed his would be attacker by the ankle.
"Apachi, Is that any way to greet guests?" the man named Apachi blinked, his aura receding and his body relaxed, despite the fact his foot was still up in the air.
"Apa?"
Naruto looked at the man who stopped the kick, a man who was as tall if not taller than Apachi and just as muscled. He was wearing a green kimono that was tight against his body, and had long blonde hair and beard. Naruto was dwarfed by the pressure this man exuded, even when he was apparently relaxed.
"Hello, my name is Uzumaki Naruto." Naruto bowed to the new man. "May I ask where I am?" at this the blonde haired man released Apachi's foot and chuckled.
"You are at Ryozanpaku Naruto. My name is Furinji Hayato or more commonly called the Elder, either is fine with me." Naruto looked confused, this man couldn't be older than 30 surely. Almost in response to his thoughts, Hayato chuckled. "Despite my appearance I am over 80 years old."
Naruto was shocked. He never met anybody this old who looked so young, even Baa-chan paled in comparison with her genjutsu.
"Ryozanpaku? I am afraid I have never heard of it, may I ask which country we are in?" This time the Elder looked confused.
"We are in Japan, surely you must know where that is as you are speaking Japanese." Japanese? He had no idea his language had any name for it.
"I'm sorry I didn't know this language had a name, may I ask where Japan is In relation to Fire country, or the elementary countries are?"
"I'm sorry young man, I've explored the world, even the hidden locations, and have not heard of such a place." During this talk Apachi was staring like a little child, it was honestly freaking Naruto out. "Please come inside, I will gather some maps and we can have some tea, let us see if we can find your home, or a place you recognize."
Naruto followed the two as they walked to a building in the distance, it reminded him of some of the older clans compounds in design, looking around it reminded him a lot of a small compound, even with a small training area to the side.
Copying the Elder's in removing his footwear, and noticing Apachi just wipe his feet, he entered it a large hall area. The only thing of note was a low table and not much else.
"Miu, we have a guest, please prepare some tea." Called out the Elder, a girl popped around a corner, her hair long and blonde flowing down her back, with a strand in front of her face, reminding Naruto of Ino. She had a Apron on and a tight purple outfit. Naruto couldn't help but notice the girl's generous curves.
"Ok grandpa." With that the girl happily moved into another room.
"Please take a seat, I will go look where I place those maps of mine." And with that the Elder walked deeper into the building. Following Apachi and sitting across from him, an awkward silence followed.
"Apachi is sorry for hitting you earlier." The man's child like voice broke the silence. Naruto smiled, In response to the apology and for breaking the silence.
"It's ok, I did rather rudely enter your compound." The large child like man smiled in response, matching Naruto's grin in size and brightness.
"Ah it's nice to see Apachi making friends." Naruto turned to notice the Elder walking back, with a small chest carried in one hand. Miu followed behind him with a tray with what he guessed had tea.
The elder took a seat at the end of the table, and opening the chest and looking through it. Miu set the tray down and began to pour the tea. Naruto was forced to close his eyes, otherwise he did not know if he would ogle her assets as she leant forward to pour the tea.
"Here's your tea." Naruto turned and found the girl holding out a cup for him.
"Thank you, mine name is Naruto, a pleasure to meet you."
"My names Miu, and it's nice to meet you to Naruto." With that the girl took the tray, leaving behind the teapot and going elsewhere.
"Ah, here it is." With that the Elder passed him a scroll.
"That's a map of all known explored area's large and not much detail on the smaller countries, but it might give us a start of where you're from."
Naruto opened the scroll, in front of him was a world he never saw before, nothing looked familiar. And these names, what's Africa?
"I'm sorry, nothing here seems familiar, names or shape of the landmasses." The Elder took drank some of his tea, and appeared deep in thought, Naruto placed the scroll to one side, and grabbed his cup for a drink.
"These are maps of the Continents; these are more detailed, so maybe something is on these." With that Naruto was handed several more scrolls, looking through them, once again nothing seemed familiar, although he did notice one place called Naruto in Japan.
"Nothing, nowhere on these looks familiar." Naruto was starting to feel depressed about it, and it mirrored in his voice.
"Well, If you don't mind, can you answer this question. Are you a Master in Martial Arts?"
"Martials Arts? You mean fighting techniques?"
"Yes I suppose that a decent comparison, but an addition to that question, if so, whats your motivation for using your fighting techniques." Naruto thought about this, it was rather personal, but this person has tried to help him.
"I don't know what a Master is, but I was ranked as S-rank and fought and defeated several S-rank opponents, which is our highest rank. Well besides SS, but only one has ever achieved that in our history. As for why, it's to protect those precious to me." Suddenly Images of his friends bombarded his mind. "Excuse me, I need a minute to myself."

AN: I was planning on covering the entire introduce Naruto to Ryozanpaku this chapter, but it's gone on longer than I intended. This is mainly to test the water's and see how people respond to it before spending the time on longer chapters.
Next chapter, meet the other masters and see what Naruto future will holds. (As is the title isn't spoiler enough lol)
