Hi everyone, this is your author speaking please keep your trays in the upright position during the flight and don't wave around any bombs while on the plane. Okay, now that i've got insanity out of the way. This is my first attempt at a true crossover and I decided to go with a big one. This is a threeway crossover between Naruto, Supernatural and the Dresden Files.
An explosion ripped what had been solid earth into a giant crater exposing an extensive system of tunnels along with two teens. One stood on the lip of the crater while the other crouched within the center with one arm raised above his head to ward off falling rocks.
A woman with bright pink hair and wearing a red dress and kneel high boots ran out of one tunnel and froze seeing the teen standing on the higher ground. "Sasuke..."
Mere moments afterwards an orange and black blur shot out of a different tunnel and came to an instant stop beside the other two teens, looking up at the raven haired teen looking down on them. "Sasuke."
Where the woman's voice had held longing and disbelief the blond man's in held an uncharacteristic seriousness to it.
A small breeze shifted Sasuke's partially opened white obi and his black eyes locked with the blue of the blond man. "Naruto, why are you here?"
"I have to talk to you. About the Uchiha Massacre."
The pink haired woman's eyes shot to Naruto, this wasn't part of the plan. They were here to take Sasuke home not press the one button sure to trigger a fight.
"Naruto! What the hell are you doing!"
Having scolded her teammate the pink haired girl turned back to her old flame. "Sasuke, please come back to the village we can.."
Sasuke wasn't standing where she was looking anymore. He was standing right beside Naruto with his arm draped over the blond boys shoulders, his elbow crossing the blond's exposed throat. However fast the raven haired teen was Naruto made a show of proving that he could match it. He was mirroring his former teammate's position with his arm up and across Sasuke's throat with his hand resting on the opposite shoulder.
"What would a failure like you know about that day that I don't?"
Naruto slowly turned his head and blue eyes locked with onyx ones. "Everything, I've even talked with Itachi about it."
Sasuke's eyes momentarily widened in surprise before returning to normal with a slight look of resentment. "When I had you at my mercy before, at the valley of the end, I let you live on a whim. Now for trying to drag me back to the village by using my family, I'll kill you."
Sasuke quickly unsheathed his katana and was ready to plunge it into his blond teammate's spine and to end him forever. Similarly, Naruto had unsheathed a kunai from his sleeve and his hand shot towards the other teenager's spleen.
Twenty feet away with his head just barely peaking out of a pile of rubble was an orange mask with a single eye hole. The man inside the mask, known to very few as Madara Uchiha, was cursing quietly to himself. They were both much faster than they should be at this point in training and he needed both of them for the plan. However, the Uchiha could be forgotten about for now, Itachi would just have to do.
Oppositely, he couldn't afford for Naruto and more importantly the Kyuubi to die. He wasn't a young man anymore and was not waiting 9 years for it to regenerate.
Acting quickly the single black eye in the mask turned red and Naruto started to disappear into a twisting blur. Sasuke tightened his grip on his blond opponent and was subsequently pulled into the swirl of color with him and they disappeared into Madara's private dimension.
Giving a simple 'that was a thing' shrug Madara sunk back into the ground and left even as Orochimaru of the Sannin and his henchmen showed up and everyone started tearing apart the ground where he had last been seen.
Time lapse: 2 years (Naruto and Sasuke age 18)
"So, you're sure this will work?"
"Well I've been working on it for 6 months. I certainly hope it does. If it doesn't I'm sure we'll just end up spliced into a wall somewhere and die horribly. So no worries."
"Is that all?" Sasuke sarcastically rebuked.
"Well technically speaking having two atoms trying to occupy the same space in the same time might also blow apart the universe. Or something like that, I never was very good at science."
Naruto was standing on a large clearing made complete of white marble. All around him were miniature towers made of the same material, some destroyed from Sasuke and his first few months together. Crawling over every surface for miles were small scribbles in blood. They climbed up every side of the towers and down the other side in an ever going pattern that had taken months worth of blood loss to create. It was the largest single sealing project anyone had ever attempted, except for that guy who blew up Swamp country trying to lead into gold we don't talk about him anymore.
The brush in Naruto's hand was made out of black hair, from Sasuke, that was bound around a stick with numerous strands of blond hair. He made a final swirl and slowly started to rise as to not smudge any of the drying seals. Before he made it to an upright position he started to sway and then to tumble like an axed tree.
In a burst of speed Sasuke was there, catching him and holding him up.
"Easy there, brother."
Naruto looked up with bleary,bloodshot eyes, barely able to focus.
"He isn't sending food anymore, Sasuke. I'm not going to get any stronger. Put me in the circle then use your sharingan to force the furball to put his chakra through the seal. You remember the seals right?"
Sasuke nodded slowly, once they had stopped fighting and he chose to believe what Naruto had told him about Itachi, the elders and the Uchiha clan he had been able to see that Naruto was as much family to him as anyone in the clan had ever been.
"Yeah, I've got them."
Sasuke and Naruto disappeared as Sasuke carried his brother, in all but blood, to his spot in the sealing pattern, unknowingly Sasuke's foot smudged a small section of the newly painted blood seal as his feet kicked off the ground. Once Naruto was laid in his area Sasuke jumped over to his own and turned on his Sharingan. His eyes turning red and the three spokes spinning quickly.
Naruto let his head roll towards Sasuke and opened his eyes.
"Do it."
Sasuke began to focus his chakra through his family's prized eyes and drew out the Kyuubi's chakra while Naruto focused on keeping it directed rather than grabbing Sasuke and squeezing the life out of him like the Kyuubi wanted.
Foot by foot and then mile by mile of seals lit a bright red until it blinded the two teammates. A buzzing sound filled the air and Sasuke barely heard Naruto screaming at him to start the hand signs. The raven haired shinobi quickly but precisely went through the required hand signs and slammed his palm to the seal, pumping his own chakra into the seal. A mile away a small smudged section of seal fizzled out and exploded just as the seal reached full mass and shot the two shinobi out of the pocket dimension, breaking through the barrier that had held them captive, and into another.
For a brief moment both shinobi were weightless and formless, flying through stars and light, through sound and time as if they were physical locations. Then they saw a massive wall, taller than the Hokage tower and seemingly grown from crystals and covered in blood. At the base of the wall were thousands of grotesque figures with claws, tentacles, flippers and things that neither shinobi knew how to define. They were nightmarish creatures of the night that without seeing neither Naruto nor Sasuke would've ever believed to exist.
These creatures suddenly stopped and turned towards the two flying, currently formless, shinobi, then with terrifying hunger they began to jump, fly and reach for the two. The two were moving much too fast however and simply sailed over these nightmare creatures without harm, when they hit the wall however there was harm and great deals of pain. The force of their collision echoing through the surrounding area as if the strike of a great gong but the wall held solid and the two clouds of shinobi were stopped. With neither of the two having any control over their new bodies they were forced to simply watch as the wave of creatures from before ran and jumped over each other in terrifying determination to get to them.
Just as the first set of jaws was about to close upon their insubstantial forms there was a flash of pure light. In their minds eye they saw a scrawny, scruffy looking man smiling at them benignly from a cluttered house full of books, alcohol bottles and posted notes. The next second that memory was wiped from their mind and the light again grew too bright to look at. When it cleared they were by the wall again but instead of monsters out of nightmares there were billions of people in armor and armed to the teeth. They were beautiful; with alabaster skin and black armor, their faces inhumanly perfect and for a moment they were all staring in shock at the two shinobi clouds.
Naruto and Sasuke merely stared back as they were also shocked, neither had even imagined this many people existed never the less could be in one place at once. Movement attracted their attention and they turned their 'eyes' towards it. There standing among the soldiers was a man, at least they assumed it was a man, he was so covered in cloth that it was impossible to tell.
'He' was covered in a head to toe cloak with a deep hood that hid his face completely but what caught their attention was when he pulled out a long stick and thrust it at the pair. The movement was controlled but there was an almost frantic twitch at the edge of the stick as the figure fired a beam of light at the two shinobi, just before the light probably would've erased them from existence Naruto's seal sputtered back to life and tugged the two shinobi back to their original breathtaking speed, stealing them from the masked figure and his army as well as the monsters who seemed determined to kill them.
***********************Supernatural/Dresden Files Universe**********************
A sound like roaring thunder tore through the forest, scattering birds and driving vermin under ground as it tore through trees. The ground shook as two teenagers landed harshly on the pine needle covered dirt. The blond in the tattered remains of an orange jump suit rolled bonelessly along the ground until he collided with a tree stomach first, wrapping the boy almost completely around it. Oppositely, the raven haired teen landed on his feet before his legs gave out on him and he tumbled gracelessly along the ground and bouncing off the edge of a rock that overhung a large gorge. He reached out and slapped his hand onto the rock suddenly stopping what was sure to be a lethal descent.
Slowly, he used the last of his chakra to crawl back over the rock and flop lazily over the edge. Laying there bonelessly he stared at the blue sky and marveled at its beauty. For two years he had seen nothing but endless white and his teammate, the things he had just seen on the trip here not counting in his mind. He had never truly appreciated the sky before, the freeness it provided but his stint in the pocket dimension had changed much about the vengeful teen.
While before his ultimate goals had all involved death now he sought life, there were still those who needed to be punished but two lives were important to him above all others. Itachi's and Naruto's. Both, in their own way had, sacrificed and done things for him that no others could even dream of. Both risking their lives for an unworthy,ungrateful brother.
Sasuke shook his head and started to roll over. I must have a concussion, I'm not normally so sentimental.
Making it to his hands and knees he spotted an orange and black blur half wrapped around a tree and stopped in his tracks. Naruto wasn't moving. Sasuke froze in panic watching and praying for that smallest movement that meant Naruto was breathing, after several panicked heart beats his prayers were answered.
A low coughing breath rattled Naruto's lungs as it passed broken ribs. Sasuke was by his side in an instant, not bothering to notice that his chakra was harder to draw than usual, laying his brother down and using what basic medical knowledge he had to check on him. Three broken ribs and malnutrition but they had known about that for a while. What they both needed was water and food then to make their way out of this forest to a hospital.
Sasuke took off the torn remains of his once pristine white shirt and tore it into strips and before wrapping it around Naruto's chest, tightening it despite the blond's moan protests. He would rather have those bones not moving around any more than necessary.
Gently picking the blond up he started walking into the forest. The trees were different than he was familiar with in the elemental countries. They were smaller with tiny needles about the size of senbon and branches that couldn't be jumped through without unnecessary pain.
After walking about a half mile Sasuke found a small clearing and put his teammate down, pulling out his katana he quickly cut some smaller branches away and put them over his the blond. It would serve well enough to hide him as well as keep him warm if it got cold before he got back.
With that done he headed back the way he had came, on the walk over he had noticed some rabbit tracks and intended to track them down for dinner. Three hours later he walked back into the clearing, turned out the tracks were pretty far from where they made their home but he eventually found them and killed them with senbon to the head. It had taken him a few throws once they started moving, a year without anything more than a spar, and 6 months without that, had made him rusty.
He used the rope he previously wore around his waist to tie them together and slung them over his bare shoulder. When he entered the clearing he expected to find Naruto still buried but recovering quickly and in demand of food. What he found was his disguise brush pile torn apart and no sign of Naruto.
Hearing the creak of a branch behind him he quickly unsheathed his sword while spinning, senbon flew out of the tattoo on his arm and he slashed at eye height with his sword. When his spin finished his eyes grew wide. Swatting his senbon out of the air was something that looked like it had come out of one of Orochimaru's labs.
It stood eight feet tall and its skin was an earthy brown that clung to its bones. Hair grew in clumps along its arms and legs and it's fingers ended with sharp claws. It's head was that of a man but with a short snout and large antlers growing out of its head, the edge of each antler stained dark from the blood of countless kills.
Sasuke's sword managed to catch the creature on its retreating arm but the lightning coated blade bounced harmlessly off the creatures dark skin. Both combatants leapt back examining the other. Sasuke's eyes zoomed in on the spot where he knew his blade had hit, examining the location in detail but seeing nothing. Not even a scratch existed to prove his special chakra conductive blade had ever touched it.
At the same time the beast's too intelligent eyes roamed over the young shinobi, taking in his dress and weapon. If it had seen the senbon from before that been summoned into existence at this child's command it might have been more weary but the hunger was growing and its mate had already claimed the first catch.
Suddenly the creature moved, it was only due to Sasuke's sharingan that he was able to track it as it closed on him. Flashing through hand signs Sasuke brought his pointer finger to his lips and blew a chakra enhanced breath. As the air left his mouth the chakra leaving his fingers grew super heated and ignited his breath into a large flame that expanded rapidly catching numerous trees on fire as it charged towards the stunned creatures face.
Blinking suddenly as it restarted its brain the beast leapt back away from the encroaching flames and tried to escape it. It let out a howl that reverberated throughout the clearing as the flame licked at its foot and the skin instantly blackened and cracked open oozing dark blood. Crying out loudly in pain it leapt into the tree and jumped from one tree to another, leaving deep gouges in the thick trunks as it left.
When the flames dissipated Sasuke caught the barest of glances of the creature as it shot through the trees of its homeland. With a determined frown Sasuke took a step forward and promptly fell on his face. He hadn't noticed it before but it felt like his chakra was being drained, his mind flashed back to his fight with Yaoi during the chunin exams. The fake Konoha shinobi had been able to absorb other people's chakra through physical contact. The very air seemed to suck on his chakra in a similar, if slightly slower, fashion.
For several minutes it was all the ex-avenger could do to lay on the ground as all of his energy left him. Just as consciousness was about to abandon him he felt a strange sensation, it was as if his chakra was withdrawing from his arms and legs and instead settling in his core. As it did this he started finding it easier to breathe, his breaths were still labored and he felt as weak as a kitten but the draining feeling slowed to barely a trickle. It took a few minutes but he could feel his chakra slowly replenishing itself but still clinging protectively to his core.
As soon as he could he got up and started stumbling after the creature, chakra be damned, he wasn't going to leave Naruto this time. With bleary eyes but a determined frown Sasuke made his way after the creature by following the deep claw marks left in the trees and when those disappeared, the blood it was unknowingly dripping on the ground.
The creature was fast but Sasuke had been trained in the shinobi arts by one of the best shinobi in living history, tracking something that was panicked and not hiding its tracks as well as it could wasn't a problem. In all likely hoods it was returning to it's home.
Please be there Naruto.
It took another 40 minutes for the creature to reach a large cave. By the time Sasuke reached the the mouth of the cave his stamina was flagging and his muscles burned in ways they hadn't since he was a genin level shinobi, the occasional spar was no match for actual training and activity. Kneeling down beside a tree he starred at the cave and listen for any sign of activity while he recovered his lost breath.
Finally, recovered enough that his panting breathe whispered out Sasuke quickly moved inside, cautiously switching from shadow to shadow until he was deep enough that the light from the entrance no longer existed. Occasionally, he would catch a glimpse of blood smudged on the smooth cold stone.
Suddenly screeching to a halt he cocked his head and listened, there it was again, the sound of claw on stone echoed lightly through the caverns.
Lightning just bounced off it but it ran from fire, a natural weakness? Damn, I don't have enough chakra left for anything that can fill these caves. Even if I did I can't cause I don't know where Naruto is. I'll have to stick with low level jutsu for this.
Turning the last corner Sasuke caught sight of two of the creatures hunched over a small table moving animatedly. The soft squelching sounds and the distinct sound of muscles snapping stopped Sasuke's heart as he stared in horror. Blood was dripping in a deluge from the table and forming a wide pool around the creatures feat as they happily ripped into the corpse.
Naruto?
The world stopped, and Sasuke fell silently to his knees as he watched the creatures tear into his friend, his brother. They were eating him. Everything in Sasuke's heart died within that timeless void as his sharingan turned on in response to his emotions and captured every movement of the beasts as they ripped and bit and tore. Unknown to him the three tomes in his eyes stretched and connected to his pupil, the Mangekyo Sharingan being born from his pain. As the ultimate evolution of his bloodline was born the emotion that made it known as a curse raised it's head.
With all the suddenness of a lightning strike the horror turned to rage as Sasuke crossed the distance between the opening of the cavern and the creatures in the blink of an eye. His chakra surged through his body in bouts of agony but compared to the pain in his soul it was nothing. Completely forgoing his sword he slammed a chakra powered punch into the side of one's head and launched it through the air and into the wall, causing the entire cave system to shake slightly. Turning to the other monster he barely ducked in time to avoid getting his head taken off by razor sharp claws.
He retorted with an upper cut that lifted the creature from the floor then a front flip that brought his legs down painfully on the things shoulders resulting in the deafening sound of bones snapping. It roared in agony until it's face first impact with the ground stunned it into silence.
But then the second creature was up and had managed to work its way behind the black haired avenger. Just as Sasuke was about to bring down a chakra enhanced stomp on the back of the downed creatures skull claws raked deeply across his back, spinning him around. Years of training and adrenaline allowed him to use the momentum of the turn to twist with the blow rather than resisting it and obtaining even worse damage.
The second creature worked its way back to its feat and a low popping noise could be heard as its shoulder bones worked their way back into place. The healing reminded Sasuke of Naruto, if to a lesser degree and the young shinobi risked a glance at the table.
What was left on it could be less described as remains and more as scraps, there was little but blood and guts. The torso had been ripped open and the face was gone, the arms and legs were just gone. What had once been clothes had been ripped open and the cloth hung off the table rapidly being dyed a darker color by blood.
Sasuke was barely able to hold back the vomit that tried to crawl its way up his throat, but with supreme effort and thanks to the fact that there was no food in his stomach to help he managed. Flipping rapidly through hand signs Sasuke brought up fingers covered with blood and blew out a huge fireball, within the small covern and with their backs to a wall there was no where to run. Sasuke listened to their screams of agony with a demented smile playing in his eyes. He wanted them to die, wanted to hear them suffer for what they had taken from him.
After several seconds, when he could no longer keep the chakra up to sustain the fire, Sasuke let his hand fall while panting heavily. He looked down upon the smoking pile of burnt flesh and ash that had been the creatures. It looked like one had tried to use the other as shelter, judging by what he could see of it it hadn't been successful. After spitting scornfully upon their corpses he turned and walked over to the table and finally allowed himself to fall down and vomit.
When he had nothing left in his stomach to expel the screaming started, they were similar to screams of an animal that had been terribly wounded but these wounds were far worse than any mortal wound he could've taken. In that blinding white void Naruto had become Sasuke's reason for living, while vengeance was still on his to due list Naruto had become Sasuke's guide. Without him he was lost in a place full of beasts that he didn't understand and horror and darkness.
He was so engrossed with his own pain and misery he didn't notice the sound of ash crumbling as the creature on the bottom of the pile slowly pushed the other off of it. It's arms and legs were severely burnt and cracked. Blood ran freely from its body and its eyes burned red with rage. Slowly it stalked up behind its kneeling prey and raised a claws hand to decapitate what would no doubt be its most satisfying meal ever.
Just as it was about to bring down its razor sharp claws there was a flicker of light in the back of the cavern where it and its mate had once kept a private room for sleeping. The cloth that served as its wall fluttered out of the way and a deadly red light bathed the cavern. The creature didn't even have enough time to scream as a clawed arm made of pure red light and bubbles grabbed its entire torso in its palm.
Sasuke stilled completely as the room was lit by this light and a small hopeful smile started to pull at his lips as he heard the creature scream in pain as it was lifted into the air and slowly inch by inch the corrosive properties of the Kyuubi's chakra ate through its torso as the hand started to close. The fingers worked quickly through the creatures body until limbs started to drop as they were separated from the beast's torso. Finally, the poisonous chakra started to disintegrate the thing's neck and worked its way up to the head, skin flaking off as muscle and bone were burnt and fell to the floor in a pile of ash and burning flesh.
The red light flickered once, twice and then was gone. Sasuke got up and charged through the cloth curtain without second thought and found Naruto along with several corpses strung up by ropes around their wrists from the ceiling. Grabbing Naruto in a strong hug Sasuke held Naruto close for several moments before getting control of himself and stepping back to check his friend for injuries.
Even tied to the ceiling Naruto managed to read Sasuke perfectly and try to comfort him.
"It's okay, Sasuke. I'm still here, brother. I'm still here."
Sasuke nodded and his signature calm started to work back into his eyes as he pulled his katana and cut Naruto free. Both simply sat against the smooth cavern walls for a while as they each told the other what had happened. Naruto had only woken up when Sasuke started screaming and when Sasuke brought him to the main room the blond certainly understood why.
After checking if any of the other people who had been strung up were alive Naruto and Sasuke checked the numerous bags they found stored inside the room. There was some type of paper that looked like money, some canned food, which they devoured with gusto, a flashlight, some rope and a small metallic object that seemed to be made to fit in the palm of one's hand.
They took as much as they could and left the cave, now that they had food their chakra was slowly refilling. Sasuke explained the experience he had with his chakra withdrawing to his core when it wasn't being used and Naruto checked his own to find himself a victim of same condition, fortunately he had been unconscious when the chakra had forcibly extracted itself from his limbs. They could flood chakra back to their limbs but it took a second and as soon as they weren't focusing the energy would pull back as if they had been stretching a bungee cord.
Naruto summoned 5 clones and was barely through telling them to scout the area when they burst and all of their short lived memories returned to the blond. Apparently, on a purely chakra construct the area they were in was deadly. Shadow clones were flimsy constructs, often only taking a single blow to be destroyed, and apparently the chakra drain of this place disrupted them enough to cause them to disperse after only a few seconds.
They continued to experiment as they searched for a way out but nothing they did seemed to return their chakra to how it had been in their own world. It took several days before they found a footpath and another two days before they found what looked like a road covered with one solid continuous black brick. Exhausted but in better spirits they started walking along the road hoping to find a town and, kami be merciful, a bed.
Author's Notes
Okay for people who are wondering the "creatures" in this chapter were Wendigo. Normally they don't live together but in this story they were settlers and husband and wife, they ended up eating everyone else in their party and changed together. Also the Antlers, a friend of mine once explained that she didnt like the Windego episode because they had something more like dear heads and a kind of horse legs thing going. I decided to mix this with the supernatural wendigo which resulted in the creature above.
About Sasuke no longer being such a collossal dick, Naruto being able to explain everything that happened with the Uchiha and Itachi and having been stuck around with Naruto for 2 years helped him mellow out a little. He can still be a dick to other people but he's not a homocidal stabby mcstab stab type dick anymore.
Well that's all I can think of right now, Please review and ask any questions you can think of I'd love to hear them. Thanks for reading.
