Skyfire

Summary: Kyuubi and Alduin are swapped at the time of the sealing, just as the Dovahkiin is about to kill Alduin, making Naruto the jinchuuriki for the dragon. When unexpected problems arise connecting the two worlds, how will Naruto and the Dovahkiin handle their intertwining fates? Especially when they aren't exactly on the same side.

A/N: Yeah, there'll be some language barriers here and there. This generally will follow two storylines in the first few chapters (Skyrim and Naruto) until they collide. I won't put any language barriers in Naruto's mindscape, cause that makes very little sense to me. I could give you reasons why and stuff, but I'm a bit tired after finishing this chapter. So... Yeah. Any questions not related to revealing the entire plot, you can ask me.

The Akatsuki will play a role here as part of the more defined 'villians.' I hope to stray this story away from 'good' and 'evil' that both of these worlds set up, but the Akatsuki pretty much can't be seen in a good light (nearly all of the shinobi world was against them). I could go on arguing to myself about perspective and personal goals for peace (Nagato or Obito vs Naruto), but that'll hardly be enjoyable for you guys (unless you want that?)...

Sorry that I'm not giving a long-winded summary of who exactly Minato, Kushina, Alduin, Kyuubi are etc... I assume you've read/played some of each world to know what's going on. Actually no, I'm not too sorry... If that's the case, you should go check out the story and play the game all the way through the main storyline. Trust me, my fanfiction will pale in comparison to the real deal...

The main PoV will be Naruto's with a little of the Dovahkiin here and there. Alduin plays a role, and Kyuubi will come in more later. As for pairing... probably a single girl from the Narutoverse, but I'm open to suggestions. Also, feel free to suggest fanfics for other stories that you think I should try (in PM please).

Anyways, on with the story!

Ch1: Backwards

"I WILL NOT BE SEALED!" A giant orange-red fox with nine tails swooshing behind it roared as it struggled against its chains. The chains were courtesy of a redhead Kushina Uzumaki's kekkei genkai that allowed her to shoot chains from her back and bind the fox.

The Kyuubi no Kitsune was not a beast to be taken lightly, often causing massive destruction, so confining the Bijuu was the top priority for Minato Namikaze. All the blond Hokage felt at the moment was fear for his son Naruto's future and a sense of duty towards the village. His son may be ridiculed, alienated for being a jinchuuriki, container of a demon such as the Kyuubi, but he hoped the retired and soon to be unretired Sandaime Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, would be able to look over Naruto. He was dying, the Shinigami nearly claiming his soul, but he still had to seal the Kyuubi.

His wife, Kushina Uzumaki, looked at the giant fox in fear as it stuck a sharp claw towards the baby Naruto. Both widened their eyes and rushed to action.

Blood spattered on the ground.

But it wasn't Naruto's. No, his parents had intercepted the attack by jumping in front and letting themselves get stabbed instead. They forcefully dug their heels into the ground, trying to keep their son safe.

Naruto was unharmed. The Kyuubi was inches away from killing him, his parents' blood dripping onto his chest.

Minato grunted in pain. "I'm going to start the Hakke no Fuuin Shiki now. I'll seal our chakra into him, but it'll be a while before we can see him again," he managed to say.

The redhead Uzumaki gave a solemn smile towards her newborn son. "Don't be picky. Eat lots and grow strong. Make sure you bathe every day and stay warm..." She gave a small cough and blood trickled from the sides of her mouth. "Also, don't stay up late, you need lots of sleep. Oh, and make friends. Remember everyone has strengths and weaknesses..."

She paused for a second to gather herself, eyes watering. "So don't get too depressed if you can't do something well." It reminded her of herself, really. Everything she should have done, but failed to do so. Naruto... Naruto would get things right. "Respect your teachers and upperclassmen at the Academy. Put your mission wages into a savings account. No alcohol until you're twenty... Too much can ruin your health. Another prohibition is women. I don't know much about this as a women, but it'd only be natural for you to take an interest in girls. Just don't get with the bad ones." she closed her eyes in a smile.

"Be wary of Jiraiya-sensei, ya know. He doesn't consider the three prohibitions much." Minato remembered his sensei fondly. Whatever Kushina said, he'd be a great influence on Naruto. "Have a dream, and the confidence to make that dream come true."

Tears began dripping off of the redhead's face. "There's so much more I want to pass onto you, Naruto-kun. I wish I could stay with you longer."

She wiped the tears away. "I love you."

"I'm sorry. I talked too much..."

Her husband shook his head. "It's alright." Minato tried to add a grin, lighten the mood, but he couldn't manage it. "Naruto-kun. My advice as your father is... the same as your mother's."

As sad as he was that he wouldn't get to see little Naruto grow up, he had to begin the sealing, needing as much time as possible before the Kyuubi could escape. Fuuinjutsu was a delicate art, not one to be rushed. One mistake, one blurred line in the seal matrix, and it'll either become worthless or induce unwanted, unpredictable results. Minato didn't have time to be careful. There was no time to think, only to do. And he had to save Konoha.

"Hakken no Fuuin Shiki," he muttered, and the fox began to be sucked in to Naruto.

The Yondaime Hokage didn't notice his mistake in the seal as the two parents fell over, dead.

Sovengarde- same time

"Yol Toor Shul!"

Alduin roared a futile shout, a terrifying stream of fire bursting forth from his maw. The fire scorched the grounds of Sovengarde, but the last Dragonborn had barely avoided the searing heat. The dark-scaled dragon was in his last seconds, as the Dragonborn stood in front of him, bringing a sword down towards his face. That was when he knew he was bested by a mortal, despite them possessing the soul of a Dovah. It was humiliating, the firstborn of Akatosh defeated by a mere imposter, someone who claimed to be Dovah yet couldn't speak their language properly.

He roared, not words this time, merely pure anger. The Dragonborn, a tall Nord dressed entirely in heavy, black ebony armor wasn't a burly man. He was a farmer before he was dragged into this mess, caught as a 'Stormcloak' on his way to Skyrim to sell his crops in Helgen. From then until now, Alduin had been his life. He had long sought a way to kill the damned dragon, and his sword was inches away from the beast's head.

Without a word, he slammed it into the dragon's great head, causing Alduin to roar wordlessly again. The Dovah growled; the Dovahkiin would NOT take his soul, he had to protect that. Despite his strong will, despite his need to survive, Alduin felt his life force being sucked away by some force. He tried to grab onto it, to stay alive, but it felt futile. A vortex was dragging his entire being into an impossibly small portion of air. Was his soul being eaten? Surely, it was. What else could have been going on?

Even for a god amongst mortals, it could be impossible to know the full truth. As he disappeared from the world, all trace of himself being sucked into the singularity, he couldn't feel any more. The great World Eater slipped from conciousness.

But that wasn't the end.

The Nord watched the sky, a wild grin spreading across his lips. He had true reason to be overjoyed now that Alduin, the World Eater and bane of his exitence, was gone. "And might he never come back!" He exclaimed, wishing immediately to celebrate with his few travelling companions. And Lydia, though he hoped they could be a little more than 'Thane and housecarl.' Finally, his life was free from all the 'Dragonborn' pressure and crap. He could go back to a simple (simpler, he amended) life with his new friends and adventure around with no goal in mind. Or he could join the Companions, a thought that often crossed his mind. It wasn't like he could go all the way back to boring farmlife after this neverending, gutwrenching excitement.

The air shimmered from the singularity, bright white light penetrating his vision. His newfound joy slipped away in an instant, and the Nord readied his sword for another fight, instincts telling him that something wasn't right. The white light subsided to a red mist that oozed out of the spot in the air and swirled around, gathering some kind of shape. He watched in fear as it grew higher and higher, nearly the size of four houses stacked on each other! Then he saw the face, and the eyes.

Red irises, oh how he hated them, with a slitted black pupil glared at him, an enormous menacing smile on the beast's face. Then, the red condensed into orange-red, and the being could now be thought of as a giant fox, nine tails swinging behind it. Giant. Enormous. How in Oblivion could he kill that, tired as he was. Still, he had to try.

"What have you done, YONDAIME!" The fox roared to the Dragonborn.

'The fox said something,' the Nord realized. That booming voice, nearly as loud as Alduin's, was not blind noise. Yet he couldn't understand it. The language wasn't familiar in the slightest. Yondaime? What in the name of Talos was that?

The warrior inside him screamed for him to attack before the fox figured out what was going on, but his logical side told him to find out for himself where Alduin went. Surely, the giant fox, which he still couldn't believe he was seeing, hadn't come out of nowhere, right? It'd know where the dragon went. If it didn't want to eat him or devour his soul.

"Hello?!" He called loudly. The fox turned its giant head on him, eyeing him curiously. The word the odd-dressed man said seemed laced with curiosity, a peculiar thing from someone trying to seal a Bijuu. 'Wait,' the Kyuubi paused to look around, 'this place is in no way similar to Konoha... Maybe I've escaped the cursed Uzumkai fuuinjutsu?' He growled at the thought.

The Nord saw the growl, and it made him think twice about the fox. It was likely the beast was evil, like Alduin, deserving only death. But the fox was also his only lead to find where in Oblivion Alduin went. Choices rattles in his mind.

"Where is Alduin?" He asked, toning his voice down to a whisper. Was it his imagination, or did the fox raise an eyebrow? Not that it had them.

"Al-du-in?" The fox repeated, tasting the syllables. What the hell was Alduin? And how was it connected with himself? Should he kill the mortal now? No, there was no threat from this weirdly-dressed man... yet. Knowledge was the top priority right now.

Kyuubi pointed at the man with a sharp claw, the bloody one, inadvertently making him jump. "Alduin?" He repeated, trying to see if that was his name. He pointed back to himself. "I am Kyuubi," he growled. This situation was annoying him, especially after his village attack. Madara Uchiha was in the back of his mind, mocking him. He would destroy that foolish man who should not be able to hold a Bijuu, much less the greatest, to his will. Wretched humans. Still, he knew he must deal with them. And now he had to baby-talk to a foreigner.

Seemingly understanding, the man started waving his arms dismissively. "Not Alduin! NOT Alduin!" He shouted back.

Kyuubi groaned. This was going to be an ordeal.

Sovngarde was about to become an even more interesting place.

Konohagakure-six years later

"Demon, get back here!" A boy around the age of eight shouted. He was looking at a six year old who was trying to escape him by running across the playground. It was dark, around 8:30 at night, and it was confusing why both would be out so late.

The one he was chasing? Naruto Uzumaki. The whole village knew of him as a 'demon,' yet he had not figured out why. Some would call him 'evil', 'fox brat' or other such offensive names. The rest ignored him. Already, he was living in his own in a ratty old apartment, confined to a small portion of Konoha where he was safer. Or at least Jiji, the reappointed Sandaime Hokage, told him. The Hokage had expressed great concern for the blue-eyes blond, especially since he was Minato's son. He couldn't force his surrogate grandson to have the militaristic upbringing of far too many jinchuuriki. No, the Hokage wanted a normal life for the blond Uzumaki.

Still, he couldn't stop the civilians' hate. A few thought Naruto actually was the Kyuubi, and others heard from their parents that he was a good-for-nothing demon, scroudrel, or even murderer. That was why he was running. The boy in question and pointed him out on the street and given chase across Konoha to the small park. He had heard from his mother that a demon in the shape of a blond, whiskered boy had killed his father.

Some kids felt strongly about their parents.

"W-why do you call me a demon?" Naruto yelled as he ran away. His whisker birthmarks were now faint lines, thinly stretched across his cheeks. It seemed that they were disappearing more with each passing year, but no one, not even Sarutobi, was aware.

"You killed Tou-san! Now you gotta pay!" The older brown-haired boy exclaimed.

"I didn't kill anyone!" Naruto shouted back. It was true, he didn't. He only fought back, and even then he tried not to severely hurt anyone.

"Liar!" The elder boy called.

Before Naruto knew what was happening, two kunai impaled themselves in his back. The older kid had thrown them? 'But why?' He cried to himself. The pain was so intense, like his body was being torn apart. Blood was gushing out of his back, splashing scarlet red on the ground.

The Uzumaki fell forward, landing with a thud om the grass. The kunai were buried so deep, and in such vital areas of his body, that it was hard for anyone to hold it together. Much less a six year old. Overcome by shock, Naruto passed out, much to the other boy's joy.

He landed with a splash.

'Water?' Naruto wondered, looking around. There was no more pain from the wound; the kunai weren't stuck in his back. He stood up shakily, water up to his ankles, which was strange since he felt entirely dry.

Looking around, he noticed that he was in some sort of boiler room or sewers. Large pipes crisscrossed the walls and stretched through tunnels. It had a red tint to it, as if the water was tainted with blood. The walls were reddish too.

"Hello?" He called, wandering around. Had the boy dumped him in a sewer? He couldn't make heads or tails of it, deciding that it was too vivid to be a dream.

The blond heard a constant dripping in the background as he waded through the tunnel, searching for a way out. He followed the pipes to a much larger room, one where the roof was taller than the Hokage Monument. As he moved closer to the other side of the giant room, he noticed bars stretching to the top, like a prison cell. But this cell was for something enormous. A tag with the kanji for 'seal' was barely visible two stories in the air on the gate to the jail.

"Huh," the little kid murmured, clearly confused.

A sudden wave of anxiety washed over the blond. Something was wrong. A red eye opened from the darkness inside the cage. Wide-eyed, Naruto skidded back a foot in shock.

From the blackness in the prison, Naruto heard an ear-splitting roar. "Stin zey nol daar kaask meyus joor!" (Free me from this cage foolish mortal!) A deep voice commanded. The dragon had woken up after six years of slumber, disturbed by the boy's footsteps. He was not happy at his situation.

Naruto backed up more at the demanding, deep voice. Seconds later, he regained some of his bearings, curiosity piqued. "Huh? How'd you get in there?" Naruto wondered aloud. He wasn't sure what that beast was (it was too dark to tell), but he was aware that it was trapped.

The dragon walked closer, exposing more of his head than just the blood red eye. It had dark, overlapping scales that covered it as far as Naruto could see. Two wicked horns stuck up from the back of its skull, and sharp teeth lined its mouth. The two blood red eyes glared at Naruto with a demonic, evil look, slightly unnerving the blond.

"Stin zey nu! Voz Zu'u fen frein hi voth yol!" (Free me now! (or) Else I will melt you with fire!)

Naruto looked panicked for a moment, horror spreading across his face, then he snickered. The thing was behind bars, right? It couldn't be too dangerous, could it? That was likely his childish, foolhardy side talking, but he was, truthfully, a young child curious of the world. He also had a stubborn streak when it came to submitting in the face of danger.

"You don't look too threatening on the other side of these pillars," he pointed out. To prove his point, he walked towards the bars and waved his hands around, taunting the dragon. It roared and turned its head sideways, shoving it through the bars. Trying to close its jaw's on Naruto's upper body, it fell only three feet short, futilely snapping its mouth closed repeatedly on the air. The blond was unphased, grinning foxily, happy that he predicted his safety.

"Zu'u fen du hin sil!" (I will devour your soul!) Alduin threatened, a feeling of death washing over the room. He had enough of the clueless mortal child in front of him. Though it would be nice for the boy to tell him why he was locked up, he was sure that the kid neither understood Dovahzul (Dragon Language) nor was he actually the one who caged him. No, he was looking for the Dovahkiin. The World Eater was sure that if anyone bested him, it was the imposter rather than a puny average mortal. Still, he had a shred of curiosity of why he was in a damp sewer, not dead.

"Devour my soul?!" Naruto squeaked, a high pitched gasp.

"Hi mindoraan dii tinvok?" (You understand my language?) Secretly, he prefered the boy to not understand him. That way he could devour the blond's soul or glean some satisfaction by turning him into a pile of ash.

"I guess so," Naruto replied.

"I am Alduin, World Eater, most mighty of all in the world!" the dragon introduced, slightly more conversationally. It was still loud, threatening, and definetly held some ill intent, but it was an improvement in Naruto's eyes.

It only took a few seconds for Naruto to register that the language the dragon was speaking in changed. "Your name is 'Destroy Devour Master' and you... eat worlds?" He gasped.

"Foolish mortal!" Alduin growled, though he didn't expound upon the topic.

"Uh..." the blond stumbled. "What exactly are you?" He got a closer look at the jailed dragon. Large, leathery wings acting as forearms, two legs, maybe fifty feet long at more than three times his height, yeah, he wasn't too familiar with dragons. The whole being looked like a demon, and Naruto was all too familiar with that word. Maybe it was that or his naturally curious and kind heart that made him overlook the reason that the thing was in jail.

"Don't you know a Dovah when you seen one," He roared, making Naruto step back from the force of his voice. "Impudent fool, let me out of this cage at once! The one who put me here deserves to die!"

"Die?" Naruto wondered, thinking it was a bit harsh. "I don't even know how you... or I, I guess... ended up here. The last thing I remember was pain in my back." He twisted around to see if there were any kunai sticking out of it, surprised to find there weren't. "But I guess it's not hurt any more."

Alduin considered his options. The boy was useless, a mere idiotic mortal child that could do nothing for him at present. The blond knew nothing at his predicament, but he still made the legendary dragon think. Alduin had lived for a long time, and was familiar with most of the languages in the world. So why, though he somehow understood perfectly, did this boy speak some foreign language? And he didn't know about dragons? The most godly of all beings? No, this was a puzzle he had to solve if he had to get revenge on the traitorous Dovahkiin. And they dare claim kinship with the Dov, even if only in soul? Ridiculous.

He was a god, and now he was behind huge bars. Come to think of it, he had room to fly and the cell was clearly meant for a being far bigger than he. He pondered. Why could they understand each other? Maybe there was a way to benefit the both of them.

"Joor," he said, much quieter now that he calmed down from his fight with the Dovahkiin. "I will do one thing for you if you free me."

Naruto scratched his head. One thing? That didn't sound like much. Although, he wasn't the kind of person to leave a sentient being utterly helpless behind bars. Even if he was supposedly a 'World Eater.' Naruto didn't take too much seriously, and he didn't think about the consequences of his actions.

"You've got a deal!" Naruto exclaimed. "As long as you train me to be a super-awesome shinobi! That way, Konoha will recognize me!"

If the World Eater had less pride, he would have questioned the meaning of the human's sentence, but he assumed that train meant the same thing between their languages.

"Leave me now," Alduin commanded, "and find some other mortal with the key to this gate."

Naruto nodded, then stood there for a half minute, unsure of what to do. Scratching his head in confusion, he wondered, "how do I get out?"

Alduin snorted, refusing to answer, and instead slunk back to the darkness of his cage.

Konoha- Later

Hiruzen Sarutobi may have been an old man by ninja standards, over sixty years old by now, but he was as sharp as ever. There was a reason that he was once, and somewhat still, known as the Professor. It was partial due to his magnificent knowledge of ninjutsu, though some of it could be accredited to his genius when it came to solving puzzles. So, when the old man in white robes with a red and white hat saw Naruto in the hospital bed, out cold, he knew something was wrong. No one had ever gone as far to physically stab, or throw, two or even one kunai at Naruto. No, what beatings occurred were usually in moderation, and they never escalated to something life-threatening. He would have to have a talk with whoever did this when ANBU found them.

This, oddly enough, was not what puzzled him. As an old kage who had experience with jinchuuriki, he was aware of their unreal regenerative powers. Coupled with the vitality in Uzumaki blood, and those two stab wounds should have been well on their way to be healed right now. Though, to his worry, the two wounds were still very much open on Naruto's back. Why wasn't the Kyuubi healing him?

"Hokage-sama?" A voice behind him asked. Hiruzen wasn't startled, as he had heard the ANBU coming. He sat up from his chair beside Naruto's bed and pulled out his pipe. With a small fire jutsu, he lit it and blew some smoke at the newly revealed ANBU.

He was wearing a dog mask, letting Hiruzen know that it was Kakashi, the one who he was expecting. "Kakashi," he breathed. "I would like to know why you weren't guarding Naruto-kun when he got injured."

The ANBU held a solemn look under his mask, invisible to the Hokage. Guilt washed over him in a wave. "I'm sorry, Hokage-sama. I was busy visiting an old friend, and I didn't have the strength in me to leave."

This only helped the Kage feel worse about the situation at hand. 'So, Kakashi was mourning Obito, and Naruto was left unguarded.'

"I don't blame you, though you should feel some shame about Naruto-kun's situation. I do, however, blame this world for the pain and suffering it likes to cause to those with noble hearts." 'Mine included,' he added with a sigh. All of his students had left Konoha. Orochimaru to betray it, Tsunade because she couldn't bear the pain, and Jiraiya who felt his mind was better spent on a spy network and his books.

Kakashi was internally surprised, but he made no show of it, not even underneath his mask. Ever since Minato's death, he had felt dead inside. "So why did you want to see me?"

"This year's class at the Academy is finishing in two weeks, and the next year with little Naruto-kun is beginning. You're going to take a team of genin and test them."

"You want me to take a team?" He asked, now evidently showing some emotion. A hint of remembrance.

"I don't need you to pass them unless you feel that they can live up to your standards." Kakashi tipped his head a few inches in agreement. he removed his dog mask and placed it on the table next to the Sandaime. He had one visible eye, a mask and his hitai-ate covering the rest of his face.

"By your leave, Hokage-sama."

Hiruzen dismissed him with a wave of his hand. "You can go." The ANBU, now former ANBU, disappeared with a shunshin. As the Kage looked at the doorway where Minato's student had been, he took another long breath on his pipe and let out a small smile. Kakashi may not have known it yet, but he was sure that the Hatake would become a great teacher. All he needed was the right team to encourage him. As he stared off into space, tired since it was late at night, he failed to hear a quiet yawn.

"Jiji?" The blond said, trying to sit up. He groaned in pain and lay his body back down.

"Naruto-kun, don't move," he chuckled. He knew how much the boy hated hospitals after an incident two years ago involving a bully at the orphanage and a few broken teeth. At least Naruto didn't back down.

"Ow," he vocalized the pain, rubbing his back with his right shoulder.

"You were out cold for four hours, how do you feel?"

"Better now that I'm out of that damp, scary sewer!" He cheered, giving his surrogate grandfather a warm smile.

Hiruzen raised an eyebrow, knowing what was coming next. "Oh, a sewer you say? Did you see anything down there?" It was odd that Naruto's mindscape was a sewer, but then again everyone's was vastly different. Hiruzen had never found the time himself to explore his mindscape, though it was the top of a large tree.

"Meh, nothing interesting. Just a dream with some cages and a... Dovah? Yeah, he said his name was Alduin."

He brushed a bead of sweat off of his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief. So, it was just a dream after all, and Naruto hadn't gone into his own mind and met the Kyuubi. Thankfully, he did not have to explain the whole world of a jinchuuriki to an innocent child, and the blond boy still had a shot at a normal life. On the other hand, the recent attack was likely a signal that his life wouldn't be normal. Next time, he decided to have a more... reliable... bodyguard for the boy.

"And what is a Dovah?" He teased, playing along.

"I think it translates to dragon? Yeah... Well, he was stuck in this big red-barred jail with this piece of paper in the middle, and he wasn't happy." Naruto laughed sheepishly. "He even threatened to eat my soul..." Now that he said it, Naruto realized how ridiculous he sounded, which made his laugh grow more conceited until it was just a happy smirk.

"A piece of paper?" Hiruzen wondered. Surely, it wasn't the seal. It couldn't be. The Kyuubi was supposed to be there, not a dragon. Leave it to a child to go around and make things up.

"It said seal, right?" He asked himself.

"How should I know, joor?" Alduin's voice snarled in his mind, shocking the blond out of his wits. Scared, the boy shot up in his bed, only to feel a sharp pain in his back and be forced back onto the comfortable bed.

'This isn't good,' Hiruzen thought to himelf. While Naruto wasn't the kind to make ridiculous stories up, he was still a child after all. This would need further verification. Though, he did have a strong feeling that something happened at the sealing. What, he could not say. Something changed the color of Kyuubi's chakra just before it got sucked into the boy. What if... No, that was insane. blasphemy. Seals couldn't swap what they were sealing, could they?

"Uh, Jiji. Are you alright? You look a bit pale," Naruto pointed up, his voice pained.

"I'm fine... Naruto-kun," he replied slowly, putting on a reassuring smile. "Say, what do you think about joining the Academy in two weeks?"

Naruto pumped a fist despite his situation. "Alright!" He cheered. "I get to be a real shinobi!"

Hiruzen chuckled at the boy's antics, though his thought process was whirling darkly out of control. 'I sincerely hope the Kyuubi isn't gone, but it would explain why he won't heal as fast as he should, or that some other beast was behind the gate. This dragon...' he couldn't believe he thought that seriously, 'will need some looking in to. I'm sure we have something about dragons in our records.'

"One thing, though," the boy interrupted his thoughts.

"Don't tell him about our deal!" Alduin growled.

Scratching his head, the boy added, "oh, never mind. I forgot. Wait, what is going on? Why was he in a cage?"

Hiruzen sighed. 'I suppose I should tell him now.' "You are what many would call a jinchuuriki." Thus, he began the long explanation of sealing and how Naruto likely had a dragon stuck inside a seal on his stomach. Jiraiya would have to inspect closer for some flaws. In the meantime, he wondered just how the hell the dragon got there, and what happened to the Kyuubi.

A/N: I'm ending it here. Not really a cliffhanger, I could have done one if I really wanted to, but then I'd have to go through a whole extra scene of what's happening in Skyrim. Thanks for reading, and please leave a review to help me improve my writing or this story.

Tell me if you want more Naruto or more Skyrim. Or more Kyuubi stuck in Sovngarde. I won't change my plot, but I can add some extra scenes if you all can tell me where.

This won't really be two storylines since they WILL connect at some point. And the Akatsuki's plan is not as foiled as you may think.

Peace out and stay troublesome,
