Floating up above in the sky was for all normal reasons a white-haired teenager with glowing green eyes, but that wasn't normal. The teen wasn't normal as he floated up in the air looking down at the city he had found himself in this time. They wore what appeared to be a black jumpsuit with silver boots, gloves, belt, collar, and 'DP' symbol on his chest. On his back was a small backpack and on his belt was a small silver tube that contained an item he would protect with his dying breath. For in that tube was the Infinite Map, a map that could take anyone, anywhere and anywhere in the known and unknown multiverse.
This white-haired teen was known as Danny Phantom and as he floated in the sky he thought about his past. He couldn't really remember much from before the accident, and then their was the other accident that lead him to where he was now. The first accident was the Fenton Ghost Portal to the Ghost Zone that ended up half killing him making him a halfa. With his new found powers Danny had single-handedly fought back against the ghost's that came through to cause havoc, though this resulted in his ghost half being labeled as evil. Thinking back he hadn't really changed into his human half since the other accident that had taken his parents away.
The other accident was caused by him… his evil future self had gone back in time to make sure his own creation but that had backfired greatly. The halfa had seen his entire family go up in smoke and flames as a boiler containing some sort of sauce exploded while they were strapped right next to it. It was after this accident and Dan's capture that Danny had been taken by in Frostbite and his people in the Far Frozen where he eventually healed before deciding to take a page out of Dani's book. He knew that his clone would be fine on her own and after some talk with Frostbite managed to set up a way for her to visit him.
As such this had led him to where he was now floating invisible above the 'Hidden Leaf Village' in the 'Land of Fire' in another universe. Now smiling he thought back to how he had arrived during a huge fight a few years ago where all the people in the village were fighting against a giant fox demon called the Kyuubi. He tried to help and had managed to overshadow the giant fox just long enough for it to be captured. Also during that time he had found out he was stronger than it somehow and right as it was about to be sealed away he had left and went back into the Ghost Zone to find Clockwork.
Now here he was 11 years old floating over the village and with that he flew towards the forest before setting down on the ground and summoning a ring made of what appeared to be moon light before it split. As it did Danny felt it change him back into human for the first time in months, and could feel his power diminish but it was still there humming below the surface. Looking at a pool of water he saw himself wearing a black t-shirt with silver highlights on it, black jeans, and sneakers that were both silver and black the 'DP' symbol on his chest still showing. His hair was black with a white streak on it, and his eye's… while one was ice blue he had another that was ecto-green.
Though he was still reminded of his ghost forum he could never change into what he looked like before, he still had a human side. Apparently his ghost side had bonded with his human half a bit due to it being so damaged and this is what he ended up with.
-|:-:|- Time Shift - Backwards -|:-:|-
Danny sat in the Far Frozen in his ghost forum while some of the yeti like ghosts walked around various machines and such. On the side was Frostbite looking at a computer terminal trying to figure out why the halfa couldn't turn human at the moment. "Great One, it seems that the damage taken by your human side was… too great to survive for any human." This caused the halfa to whip his head towards the yeti ghost hoping that he wasn't now stuck in ghost forum forever. "Please don't tell me… please Frostbite tell me I'm not…" He looked at the yeti ghost who continued to look at the computers cream before smiling and speaking.
"Fret not Great One, it seems that you're still half alive… remarkably your ghost half is attempting to heal your human side. Though the only down side to this is that if you ever turn human again much of it will seem to look like your ghost side. Your hair will still be black though, and you will have a signal blue eye, but the rest of you will change." Danny looked at the yeti ghost for a moment in shock before finally taking a breath in relief, he could live with this and it also allowed him a chance to have a new life.
-|:-:|- Time Shift - Forwards -|:-:|-
That was one of the good things that had happened to him in the past few months as he walked through the forest towards the village while trying not to make too much noise. Being hunted by Skulker for a long time had made it near impossible for him to make that much sound when he walked or tried to relax. His mind drifted to the Infinite Map that had apparently changed as well as he remembered Frostbite explaining a few things to him about it. Turns out that due to him risking his life to protect the map from Vlad it had chosen him to be it's new protector. Apparently Frostbite was just watching over it for the new protector to come and Danny was that protector. The map now showed whatever world he wanted and it's center changed to show where he was on it. Along side that he could use it's power when it wasn't on him to travel, and only he could use it, unless he gave someone else permission. Now his mind started to drift towards Clockwork and what he had learned from the time ghost about this world.
-|:-:|- Time Shift - Backwards -|:-:|-
Danny sat in an armchair reading a few books that Clockwork had given him to read about chakra and how to control it. There were also a few scrolls that he had studied and now he could do various techniques with his own chakra. In human form he had a lot of it, more than most people as if he was a jinchūriki, but unlike them he had near perfect control over it all. Apparently his ghost half counted as one according to the time ghost side gave him much power along side his own abilities. "I see you have found out about the jinchūriki and have figured out about the limit of your own power Daniel."
Danny quickly jumped in surprise upon Clockwork coming up behind him and speaking as such scaring him. It was only after he almost blasted the time ghost due to reflex that the halfa finally spoke to him. "Yeah… I'm still wondering how I have so much power though, and how I can have so much control over it. According to these books and scrolls of yours the high one's chakra is the harder it is to control it… but I have near perfect control over it already… I guess I want to know how that's possible." The halfa looked up at the time ghost who smiled before gesturing him to follow, and as such he did.
When the two came to the central chamber of the time Ghost's home though Danny saw himself overshadowing the Kyuubi in one of the mirrors. Clockwork looked at it with a small chuckle before looking back at the halfa and speaking to him. "You have overshadowed one of the legendary beasts of this world you're researching… as such it has jump started your chakra network and due to the mingling of people on your world for so long alongside that none of them have used it for a long time it has built up in all of you, making your reserves higher than anyone else. This fact combined with the fact that you accidentally turned on the portal means that your own chakra reserves have grown stronger than others Daniel."
Danny looked at the time ghost for a moment seeing where he was going with this before finishing up for him. "As such I trained my powers so I have near perfect control over them and this in turns allows me to control my chakra with the same level. That and the fact that chakra and ecto-energy are closely related to each other but not exact means I'm practically stronger than anything else in that world right?" The time ghost nodded while Danny rubbed the back of his head in confusion due to actually figuring that out in record time before the time ghost spoke again.
"That is correct Daniel… your ghost forum will also enhance your chakra skills as well, and no you are not the strongest. You just have slightly more power than the Kyuubi that's all… now I think it's time for an age adjustment." Danny turned around and looked at the time ghost for a second his face showing confusion but before he could do anything Clockwork had finished what he needed to do. Now the halfa was 11 years old and glaring at the time ghost before speaking at him anger clear in his voice. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR? I'm almost done with puberty and now I have to go through it again."
The time ghost chuckled and Danny let out a sigh knowing that he wasn't going to be turned back before a thought hit him. "Say Clockwork mind telling me why I'm all of a sudden starting to figure out what people are going to say before they say it, along with how I've been able to figure out what you're going to do at times before you do it?" Again Clockwork smiled and the halfa looked at him for a moment before realizing what was going on and going wide-eyed in shock.
-|:-:|- Time Shift - Forwards -|:-:|-
That was two weeks ago and now Danny knew that since he spent some time at Clockwork's place he had developed a slight Omniscience power. Though it wasn't as powerful as the time ghost he could at least get some knowledge on people before they do something along with limited site into the future. A smile appeared on his face when the Observants found out about it and had thrown a little fit but got over it soon enough. Apparently they weren't really worried about it upon seeing Dan's thermos being in Clockwork's tower and it wasn't long before they figured out that Danny wasn't going to let Dan happen no matter what.
By now the halfa could see the village just on the horizon and picked up his pace a little getting more quiet as he did so. That was until he suddenly jumped into the air and managed to do a flip before standing upside down on a branch as a shuriken stuck itself in the ground where he was a few seconds ago. His mind instantly raced as he picked up the vibrations of three others due to his ghost half and smiling. Apparently his time in the Ghost Zone had given him the ability to detect energy signatures, and suppress his a bit. Even now he was suppressing his chakra enough that they could feel it, but they couldn't tell how much he really had, something he was really great for right about now.
Two more shuriken came out and Danny expertly dodged them, only having them miss him by a few centimeters and his enhanced smell caught a small whiff of a toxin on them. Then speaking in perfect Japanese that carried no accident he spoke to the three coming after him. "If you're done trying to kill me at least know, that I'm just a traveling ninja whose home has been destroyed and I'm the last from my clan too." His mind raced and he quickly spoke out the cover story that Clockwork had told him to say as he dodged more shuriken that was thrown at him.
Sure enough three people came out of the shadows around the tree canopy each wearing a different mask and looking directly at Danny who was still upside down on the tree branch. A dog, cat, and goat mask on each of them told the halfa that they were ANBU agents the best of the best when it came to killing people. For a moment they all just looked at each other not moving an inch or backing down while waiting for the other to make a move. After a moment though they went back into the shadows and Danny knew they wanted him to follow.
It was quite easy to follow them due to the fact that he had enhanced hearing, smell, and energy sensing abilities. Soon they all arrived at the main building of the village and the one in a dog mask gave Danny one more look before nodding and all three disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Shaking his head Danny walked into the building to talk with the hokage knowing that the agents have probably already alerted the place to his presence.
-|:-:|- Scene Shift -|:-:|-
The hokage sat at his desk doing paperwork while waiting for the boy that he had been alerted about by the ANBU. Apparently they were all impressed with the boy's stealth skill due to the fact that they had been behind the boy for thirty minutes before they realized he was in front of them. This also worried them and when one tried to incapacitate him the boy had jumped and managed to stand on a tree effectively dodging the attack before telling that he knew where they were. As such they brought him to the village and at the moment were keeping an eye on the strange boy at this very moment.
Sure enough the door to his office opened and in walked a boy with a small pack on his back, and the hokage had to blink. The boy had a streak of snow-white hair on him and two different colored eyes that looked around confidently but showed that he had seen and down things others haven't. The hokage had seen some strange things before but he had the feeling that this boy was special and like nothing had seen before like Naruto. "I see that there has been no incidences on your trip so far, Daniel-san… I was informed by my agents about your arrival."
The teen looked a bit stunned that his name had been said but the hokage who smiled before the teen spoke. "It was as well as one can expect sir… I was hoping I could come and stay in your village for a bit. Though you can't trust me I will do my best to follow your rules despite coming from another nation outside the elemental nations." The hokage looked at the teen who spoke confidently and looked him right in the eyes, unafraid of the person who could easily arrange his death with a simple gesture.
"I see… please take a seat and tell me a bit about you… the letter I received was a bit uniformity on some of the information about your homeland." The teen was quiet for a bit before looking around the room at the hidden agents and getting the message the hokage sent them away. With that done the teen looked at him for a moment before taking a breath to calm himself and spoke. "What I have to tell you can't go beyond the walls of this room… as you know I come from a different nation than the elemental nations. The village I come from is on the borders of a nation called 'The Land of Life' and one called 'The Zone of Death'."
The hokage nodded in understanding of why he wanted this to be keep hidden, such nations were probably allied with each other and had peace and didn't want any of the Elemental Nations to invade. "Unfortunately my village was destroyed in a cataclysm and I'm one of only three survivors you could say. I have a sister that is traveling and may show up randomly at times, and then there's the missing one known as Vlad Masters, aka Vlad Plasmius who is to be killed on sight. All three of us… aren't allied to one of the two nations due to our connection to both life and death… were what's known as halfa's. Though there is no one really dead in 'The Zone of Death' both sides don't really get along but they're not going to war with each other any time soon."
The hokage nodded again in understanding of wanting to keep this knowledge hidden, to be from two different nations was hard enough. "Such knowledge was forbidden in both nations and as such to just even speak of it was to be sentenced to death. I found out but was never able to tell my family about it… us halfa's are allowed to tell people but I never did due to my parent not liking those from 'The Zone of Death'." Danny went quiet thinking about what Clockwork had told him to say to the Hokage who continued to stare at him before letting out a sigh and speaking.
"I can understand how you feel… we have such a rule here to, and only I along with the person it pertains to can speak of it. Any other who dares to speak of it is sentenced to death instantly… it is for the boy's own protection, but this hasn't prevented the village from finding ways around that rule. As such he doesn't have many friends and most of the village hates him no matter how much he tries to prove them wrong." Now it was Danny's turn to sigh for Amity was in all ghost's are evil lumping him into that group as well.
"I guess I was lucky then… I found out and only my older sister and friends knew about it and they accepted me. My parents and teacher found out as well before they died, but… I'm afraid of what certain parts would have done with that knowledge. Even now I know you can tell I'm suppressing my chakra at the moment so that no one knows how much I have but can still tell I have it." The hokage nodded in agreement glad that the boy whose family could be traced to two different nations had a good life before an idea entered his head.
Looking at the boy in front of him who is in some sense in the same boat as Naruto an idea came into his mind. If he played his cards right then Naruto could have someone to talk to besides himself about the Kyuubi and another friend. "Hm… would you be interested in possibly helping an old man out with a certain problem?" Danny looked up confused for a moment before getting an idea on what the old man wanted and nodding. "Let me guess… this same person that you have a rule to protect him for barely has any friends and as such you want me to help him by being a friend correct?"
The hokage nodded his face an unreadable mask to anyone except those that knew him for the longest times. "That is correct Daniel-san… the person's name is Naruto Uzumaki and he is a jinchūriki, I believe that you know what that is already." When the halfa nodded and said nothing the hokage continued on with his train of thought. "In turn for residence and protection from the council here in Konohagakure I want you to try to befriend him. The boy is easily recognizable due to having what appears to be whiskers… I'll leave you to try to figure out what one of the nine beasts he has sealed inside him." With that Danny got up and quietly left the room knowing when he was dismissed and went to find Naruto. But before he left fully he turned around once more and looking at the hokage he asked one question. "I take it that I'll also be bunking with him as well for a secondary condition along with having one or more ANBU watching me for the time being?"
The hokage nodded and having the confirmation required Danny went and turned around leaving the room to go find his room-mate. This was also the exact time that the ANBU agents reentered the room and one decided to appear in front of the Hokage and ask a question. "Sir do you think it was wise to let the boy go about the village and bunk with Uzumaki Naruto?" The hokage turned to look at the masked agent who was kneeling before letting a smile appear on his face and speaking. "You heard what Daniel-san said, he is in a similar situation to Naruto… it is only natural that I want to send him to the boy. They both have something that separate them from the norm… now onto more pressing matters if you happen to come across one known as Vlad Masters, or Vlad Plasmius know he is a kill on sight. Apparently he's considered an enemy of Daniel-san… and if you see a girl with black hair and blue eye's or white hair and green eye's let her pass, she is his twin sister."
With that the agent nodded and went back into hiding while the hokage went back to the paperwork and keeping the council at bay. But instead of having one boy to look after he has another to look after at well, one that has a similar life story to Naruto's. His mind then drifted towards the mysterious letter that had described the thing including cover story to him along with the reason for it. Whoever this mysterious Clockwork-san was he was certain that the had Daniel's best interests at heart by asking him to do such. He then had to stifle a chuckle upon realizing that the halfa had not slipped up the entire time and was confident with his own ability to lie, and he had good reason for the hokage actually would have bought the lie if it wasn't for the letter.
-|:-:|- Scene Shift -|:-:|-
Danny walked down the street ignoring the looks that a few people gave him for his strange clothing and appearance. He could tell that at least two ANBU agents were falling him at the moment as expected, like he really needed their protection though. In his head the halfa went over a few medical techniques, along with some others that he had learned as well, just in case their was an emergency. Besides a few close combat techniques he also knew long-range, and a few forbidden skills that weren't forbidden where he came from.
Raising his mental shields Danny began to wonder why Clockwork had sent ahead a letter in the first place before shaking his head of the thought. It was never good to wonder why the time ghost did what he did, it would only serve to give him a headache later on. With this thought in mind he began to wonder about the village keeping an eye out for someone with whisker marks. His mind then began to activate it's limited Omniscience powers and he let the information come to him about the teen.
He kept walking despite the information and using his own energy sensing powers managed to not bump into anyone while this knowledge was put into his head. Internally he smiled upon figuring out that Naruto held the Kyuubi and with that he knew he had to find the jinchūriki. Some ninja passed overhead going out on a mission and with a sigh Danny jumped into the air before heading across town by rooftop to find something to eat that wasn't ecto-energy. He also needed the exercise if he didn't want his skills to get rusty after all he had an appearance to keep up as a wandering ninja who lost his entire village.
Soon the halfa found a small ramen shop and really glad that he had some ryō from Clockwork got himself a bowl and began to eat. "One bowl of ramen please." Another person spoke and turning his head a fraction of an inch to look at them Danny saw a kid with blond hair, an orange track suit of sorts, and ironically had whisker marks on his face. In the back of the halfa's mind he knew that Clockwork had something to do with this meeting if anything before the woman spoke. "Ah Naruto, nice to see you again, one bowl of ramen coming up."
With that she went to work alongside the man and Danny continued to eat with his chopsticks ignoring Naruto for the time being. Though every now and again he could tell that the orange clad person glanced at him now and then. Even the people who operated and no doubt owned the shop spared him a glance now and then. He couldn't really blame people for looking at him though, after all how often did one see a kid with black hair, and a snow-white streak of hair going threw it with two different colored eyes.
Then as Naruto glanced at him once more Danny decided he shouldn't take it any more and spoke. "You know it's impolite to stare at others Naruto Uzumaki." He then heard Naruto choke up on the ramen he was eating in shock before looking at him in surprise. "WHAT! How do you even know who I am, I never seen you before in my life." Danny said nothing as the blond practically yelled glad that he had enough time to prepare but still dazed by the yell due to his enhanced hearing before letting out a sigh and speaking. "I was told about you by the hokage what else… it's also kind of hard not to spot a kid with whisker marks on him."
With that he finished and paid for the food he got before leaving all the while hiding a smirk as he waited for Naruto to come after him. Sure enough, five seconds later the blond had finished paid for his meal and was coming after him, so right as the teen was about to reach him Danny spoke. "My name is Daniel Phantom, but please call me Danny and apparently I'm your new roommate. Also before you ask, because I know you will I'm not from the elemental nations but the hokage has offered me residence in the village." Naruto who was in the middle of jump to reach up to him heard this and practically face planted into the dirt in shock.
The halfa turned to look at him for a split moment wondering if he should do something and upon seeing no movement picked Naruto up by his collar with ease. The thought that he didn't have to hide all his abilities here went threw his mind as he held the blond up before setting him back down on his feet. Meanwhile Naruto was in shock not only about apparently having a new roommate but also about the fact that a scrawny person about his own height had just picked him up with ease. That was until they started to wave their hand in front of his face causing the blond to blink for a moment before yelling out loud enough for the village to hear him. "NEW ROOMMATE!"
crai22: Well here is my attempt at a Naruto and Danny Phantom crossover for everyone to enjoy after some accidents happend obviously. The worst was accidently deleting it while cleaning out my computer of old files, but thankfully I had sent a version of the first chapter to 'One For Insperation' who collaberated with me inorder to make this story. So that only means I lost about three to four chapters worth of work on this story and I now have to dig threw large lost archives of PM's between the two of us inorder to get the few ideas I had down.
Danny: You know at times I have to worry about youre sanity.
Naruto: Just give him a break he has a lot on his plate what with midterms happening at the moment, in fact it's even surprising he's getting the time to even work on this story at the moment.
crai22: Thanks Naruto, now onto the other stuff I own nothing except for the idea and events that I made happen in the process of writing this story people. Also sorry for any spelling mistakes but no matter what computer I use Fanfiction just doesn't want to spellcheck things for me for some reason.
Miota: At least he is remembering the disclaimers now and we don't have to remind him.
