I do not own any of the anime/games/such that get featured on any story that I do. I also do not do "Reading" stories without the author's permission as well as having said author as my beta reader. So you should have no excuse to use on me for doing this story.

The gennin were chatting amongst themselves about what they learned about their other and about themselves, as Yuki finished the first story and set it into a bookshelf he had created to catalog all of the alternate worlds this group now knew of. All of a sudden, a swirl warped space above Yuki's head as a book fell out and bounced off Yuki's head before landing on his lap.

Now naturally, this got everyone's attention.

Naruto was the first one to speak up "What's that?" His voice much more subdued than what you'd think would be expected of him, and those that knew him would be shocked, well, except for the gennin in the room as they had been with him the entire time and had gotten use to the gradual changes brought about by that last story.

Yuki picked up a note that came with the story and read it "Its a request. Looks like we have our next story."

The genin all rushed to their seats as the looked at Yuki in anticipation.

Yuki cleared his throat. "From what I've gathered of this world... I'd better give some back-history. This takes place after Sasuke defected. Naruto had promised Sakura, who still had a crush on Sasuke, to bring our resident avenger back to Konoha. Had I not interfered with reading about these worlds to you, Naruto would have failed during their clash at the Valley of the End. However in this world Naruto succeeds. Another difference is that in this world, Sakura's mom is on the civilian council and acts like the screeching banshee Sakura is often portrayed when she's being bashed."

Sakura didn't like the sound of that "Umm... what is bashing... in this case?"

"Bashing is an act of portraying a normal character in a subpar and demeaning light, such as making Naruto physically dumber, making Sakura as a dumb screeching fangirl, or making Sasuke that gentle mix of stupid and psychotic that only he can pull off so well..." Yuki answered.

Shikamaru spoke up "So what should we expect from Sakura's mom in this?"

Yuki thought for a second "Eardrum shattering screeching, thinking that she's superior just because she's on the council, blind hatred of Naruto, either because of the Kyuubi or because she lost out against Kushina due to her being a Minato-fangirl, it changes depending on which world you look at, and an inability to see the big picture, which often comes down to trying to pass laws that are stupid and only benefit the civilians with terms that are not only beyond unreasonable but sometimes near impossible."

Sakura flinched, yea, that didn't sound good at all.

"Which leads to this story. Which is a crossover."

Shikamaru spoke up again, he was wide awake for once, which was surprising, however hearing about the intricacies of multiple alternate dimensions and their interactions with each other was interesting and actually had him slightly motivated to learn more.

I said slightly motivated.

He's still a Nara.

"A crossover is when two separate dimensions blend together, this usually happens with numerous alternate dimensions to various degrees, but never the entire thing. I can be anything from blending of the worlds, placing certain characters of one world as residents of the other, placing concepts from one into the other, or even something as simple as dimension hopping. In this world in particular it is the last one.

Before I begin a history of this new world so to keep your future questions shorter. It is a world called Remnant. Where the Elemental Nations are the sole continent on the planet, Remnant has four. Vale, Vacuo, Mistral, and Atlas. They have a different naming style than the Elemental Nations so you may find names that sound weird. Instead of Chakra, they have an energy called Aura. If Chakra is the energy born of the body and mind coming together, then Aura is energy born of the soul itself. While chakra has many uses, Aura's main purpose is to shield and heal the body once awoken. Each person's Aura also comes with a distinct ability that is unique to that person, although some can be passed on through families like a bloodline. This ability is called a Semblance. To give you some examples, the main focus of the original world is on a team called RWBY, an anagram using the first letter of each member's first name.

Ruby Rose has speed as her semblance. She can move as fast as Lee can without his weights, however she leaves rose petals in her wake when she does so.

Weiss Schnee, which when translated means White Snow, has Glyphs as her semblance. Kinda like being able to project fuinjutsu anywhere within her sight or under her if not within her sight. These Glyphs basically allow her to do whatever she wants them to do. I do not know the limitations to them unfortunately.

Blake Belladonna, meaning Black Beauty or Black Pretty Woman, has Clones as her semblance, Not like Naruto's shadow clones though... think of them like solid afterimages without the speed.

Finally there's Yang Xiao Long, meaning Little Sun Dragon, has a semblance that lets her take the damage she receives and turns it into strength, going from gennin level strength to around Tsunade level at its peak. It also seems to activate and increase her strength when she's angry, and a sure fire way to get her pissed is to cut or damage her hair."

Each time he named them off and listed their semblance, a short clip of their fighting styles and semblance in action was played on the screen "As you can see, they are also a lot more advanced, their world's specialty is weapons that shift from one weapon form to another." He also explained firearms to them and Tenten was drooling as he looked at them.

"There are three more things. First is that there is another race that lives on this planet. They are humans that have animal features called Faunus." The screen showed some Faunus, like Blake with her bow off, Velvet the rabbit Faunus, Adam the bull Faunus and so on.

"From what I can tell, all of the animal types that exist are all mammalian in origin, and they share something in common with Naruto, as well as other Jinchuuriki. Despite being overall physically better than normal humans, Faunus are discriminated on, often seen as second or third class citizens, or worse."

He then went on to explain Dust and its uses, along with the Schnee Dust Company and their role in the Faunus discrimination.

Finally he explained about the fragmented moon and the Grimm, showing the different documented types and what Grimm actually do.

The gennin didn't look to good after hearing that.

"So lets begin the story 'Shinobi to Knight' starting with the prologue"

Naruto Uzumaki was done.

He didn't want anything to do with Konohagakure anymore.

This shocked everyone that was listening, what exactly happened? Naruto loved Konoha!

Sasuke had ran away from the village, seeking power from that snake bastard Orochimaru.

Some of the gennin couldn't help but glare at Sasuke, and after that last story, the Uchiha was starting to fell conscious about it.

But Naruto wouldn't let him, Sasuke was the first person he had truly formed a bond with, and yet, the Uchiha had attempted to sever that bond.

Naruto won the fight, he had defeated Sasuke, and had received a large scar from Sasuke's Chidori technique near his heart.

Everyone had wide eyes and looked at Yuki for clarification. Yuki merely showed a clip of the original fight from start to finish where the blond had lost. The girls were crying and holding onto Naruto. Naruto himself was pale and shaking, and Sasuke was pale and disgusted at the curse mark's second stage.

That and he could hear Naruto's voice in the back of his head calling him gay.

He was nearly unconscious when his sensei, Kakashi Hatake, found the two of them, quickly using a rather basic medical jutsu to stabilize Naruto's wounds, which were worse than Sasuke's.

Naruto somehow had the energy for a snarky comment, pointing out to Kakashi he was late again, which made the Jonin give Naruto his trademark eye smile before replying that he was right on time for once.

"For once..." Yuki remembered one world where the 'Kakashi being late to his own funeral' thing actually happened.

With a bit of effort, the lazy Jonin carried the two genin back to Konoha.

When they arrived back at the gates, Naruto had regained consciousness, just in time for Sakura to thank him profusely for bringing Sasuke back, although she nearly broke some of his bones with her hug, which had her fussing over him a bit afterwards and apologizing.

Naruto mumbled something about Sakura "never knowing her own strength..." which got a blush out of Sakura as she internally cursed her past actions at denying such a great guy in the first place.

Kakashi had smiled at that scene, being glad that Sakura had matured so much already, acting very much like a sister to Naruto, who quite obviously stopped crushing on her a little while ago, since he acted more like a brother with her.

Now Sakura was happy that she could be much more with her 'Naruto-kun' as she rested her head on his shoulder. Ino was on his other side holding his hand, Hinata was curled up on the boy's lap while Tenten sat in front and leaned against the blonde's knees.

After that, they put the two boys in hospital (though Sasuke was heading straight for the T&I department afterwards and would have a nice long chat with a certain snake mistress) where Tsunade personally healed Naruto's injuries.

That got a shiver out of everybody, they knew just how sadistic Anko could be from that last story.

Not only because she saw the brat like an actual grandchild (and Naruto very much saw her like an actual grandmother) but it was her duty, as his godmother, as Godaime Hokage, and as his cousin.

Her own grandmother was Naruto's Great-Great-Aunt after all, Mito Uzumaki, the wife of the Shodaime Hokage.

Naruto knew Tsunade was his cousin, but he didn't care.

She was still Tsunade Baa-chan to him.

Just like his godfather Jiraya would always be Ero-sennin.

After Naruto was healed up enough though, apparently the civilian council started throwing a fit, so Tsunade had to go pacify them, but Naruto came along since it was about him beating up their oh so precious 'Last Uchiha' after all.

Everyone scowled at that. It seemed that the stupid and bitter civilian council trope was a lot more common than anyone thought.

When they arrived, they were greeted by the banshee that was Sakura's mother, a member of the civilian council.

The woman blamed Naruto for her daughter distancing herself from her, on top of the usual hate because of the nine-tailed fox.

In all honesty though, Sakura had just become extremely annoyed with her mother's non-stop whining, and her and her father had moved out (her father even divorced her mother), since they were tired of hearing her rambling on about Sakura not being with the Uchiha yet.

Yes, the reason Sakura had been after him in the first place, was because her mother encouraged it.

Mebuki Haruno wanted it to happen so she could live the rest of her life in ease from all of the Uchiha clan's money.

"Wouldn't happen anyways, because had Sakura married Sasuke, then she wouldn't be a Haruno anymore and Sakura's mom still wouldn't have access to anything." That comment just brought disgust to just how shallow and stupid this Mebuki was in the story.

And in all honesty, Sakura was starting to realize that Sasuke was way too revenged obsessed to have that kind of relationship, but she still cared for him as a friend.

Before she had left though, she had enlisted Naruto's help to pull a revenge prank on her mother (this was a few months ago), which ended with her mother waking up bald.

Naruto was all up for it obviously.

This got a few snickers from everyone.

Besides, even though he was the biggest prankster in the village (second to only his own mother, who was an even bigger prankster back in the day),

Naruto was both preening at the info that his mother was a great prankster and took it as a challenge to become an even bigger prankster than his mom... after he found out just how big of a prankster she was so he knew where to start.

nobody could ever prove it was him unless he actually signed his name.

Plus the only person who could catch him was Iruka-sensei.

Seriously, even the ANBU couldn't catch him while he ran away from them... in broad daylight... wearing a kill-me-now orange jumpsuit.

His stealth skill was actually beyond that of ANBU recruits.

Yuki and the gennin had a moment of Deja Vu at that. He was pretty sure that's exactly what Yuki had said when he first explained it.

Heck, the Sandaime had been considering making him an ANBU after the chunin exams were over, before he passed away fighting Orochimaru obviously.

Honestly, Naruto should by all rights be at least a chunin by now, if not an ANBU recruit.

And Naruto was back to preening at the praise.

Back to the main point though.

Tsunade was very much ticked off with the civilian council, to the point she lifted her desk and threw it at them, knocking a few of them out.

The shinobi council was extremely grateful for that.

As were the gennin.

The civilians had constantly been shouting for Naruto's head, or in the civilian's words 'the demon brat' 'the devil spawn' 'the fox incarnate' etc etc, you get the idea, they had a lot of names for Naruto besides his actual name.

Naruto had grinned when Tsunade turned to him and offered him a an extra pay for a D-rank, on top of the A-rank pay from getting Sasuke back, if he pranked all of the civilian council members here and now.

Needless to say they all ended up with something or other scribbled on their faces with permanent markers, some of which even having some rather... scandalizing things since Naruto had been feeling especially rude towards them.

Thus quite a few members ended up walking around with dicks drawn on their faces, or in Mebuki Haruno's case, an arrow pointing to her mouth that said 'Insert dick here to shut up whore'.

Tsunade decided that Mebuki Haruno would be dragged back to her home by an ANBU and would pass over the red light district, and he wouldn't be blamed if he 'accidentally' left her there instead.

It took the most stoic of the gennin not to fall over laughing like the rest of the gennin when they heard that.

After that, the day quieted down, Naruto visiting the others from the retrieval team in the hospital, checking up on Choji, Neji and Kiba since they were worse off than him, although he did have a god-like healing factor to help him (he also met Kiba's older sister Hana, who had been taking care of Akamaru, she was nice), and Shikamaru got off the easiest, getting only a broken finger from his fight against the sound kunoichi, although he did rant about he always seemed to be fighting women... and that he needed Temari to help him to win the fight against Tayuya.

That brought the laughter back as Shikamaru sulked at his future girlfriend/wife being brought back up, although those weren't his words.

Lee got almost no injuries, mostly thanks to Gaara's timely intervention in helping in the fight against Kimimaro.

Once the day was finished however, something happened.

Sasuke had somehow managed to escape detection when he woke up and ran away again in the middle of the night.

Except he had also done something horrible before leaving.

He had seen how the Hyuuga girl, Hinata, looked at Naruto, how she loved him so.

He hated Naruto, the blonde boy always seemed to come one step ahead of him, and he despised this, so he decided to hurt him, although indirectly.

So he raped her.

The blood-lust and killing intent suddenly skyrocketed as everyone glared at Sasuke. Who had wide eyes and was ghostly white. Yuki spoke first, grounding out his words through gritted teeth "Sasuke, if there's one thing I absolutely hate, its rape. I actually have that Sasuke's soul bound into an eternally healing body so that I can torture him any time I need to vent. And if you ever decide to do the same thing, you'll be joining him." Sasuke nodded frantically.

And he made sure she would have something to remember him by.

"No he didn't get her pregnant, from what I was told, he branded her with the Uchiha symbol."

Most people thought that Naruto didn't know about Hinata's crush on him, but he knew, he just wasn't sure how to respond for the longest time, but after talking about it with some of the others (Read: Sakura and Ino) he decided that maybe he could give it a shot, and who knows, it might just work out.

Then he had learned of what had happened, and his world started to fall apart.

The Hyuuga's wouldn't let him go see her, because they had blamed Naruto for this, something that Sasuke had been hoping for.

Then came the hardest news of all.

Somehow, someone had managed to make Tsunade sign a form which basically stated that Naruto was to be exiled from the village.

Jiraiya had been extremely disappointed in her.

Everyone was downtrodden upon hearing that, while secretly glaring at Sasuke some more.

Naruto only had three days to leave the village, but he knew that the people would try and do something to him if he left on the last day, so he decided to leave in the middle of the night.

Jiraiya had given him a parting gift though, a scroll which contained a few jutsu, as well as everything he needed to know to learn a new type of fighting techniques, Senjutsu.

It pained Jiraiya that he couldn't train his godson himself, but at the very least, he would give him everything he would need to become a great shinobi, he'd even revealed Naruto's nature affinities for him, being a strong wind affinity, and a secondary water affinity.

And so here was Naruto, jumping from one tree branch to the next in the middle of the night, a large scroll on his back, his blue eyes having lost some of their usual spark.

Now everyone knew what those opening lines meant, a somber air filled the room as the gennin listened on.

He didn't know where he was going.

He just knew he wanted to be out of Fire Country as soon as possible.

Perhaps he could go to Wave, go and see old man Tazuna and his family.

His thoughts were interrupted by a booming voice in his mind.

''I might have a few suggestions on what we could do kit.''

Naruto smiled as he replied ''Lay em on me fuzz ball.''

'Fuzz ball' as Naruto called him, was actually the great Kyuubi no Kitsune, the demon fox that had been sealed inside of him at birth by his father, hoping that Naruto would be seen as a hero by the village, but sadly ended up being seen as the demon incarnate.

Unlike what those in power thought, Naruto knew who his parents were, the Kyuubi had told him after all, and even showed him what they looked like, while telling him as much as he could about them, such as the fact that Kushina, the Kyuubi's previous container before Naruto had been called by two distinct nicknames, the first being the Red Hot Habanero, due to her fiery temper, which Naruto figured was where he got his hot-headedness from, and the Red Death, due to her skills in Kenjutsu, and that his father, Minato, seemed to always be afraid of Kushina while she was pregnant with Naruto, her mood swings were apparently very dangerous.

The most important thing the Kyuubi had shown Naruto though, were his parents' last moments, and their last words to him, which had made him cry when he first saw them.

They truly loved him.

Yuki played a clip of their last moment for Naruto, who took them to heart.

This was something he had wondered for the longest time, if his parents even loved him, and he was so happy to learn that they did.

He'd also learned the truth of why the Kyuubi had attacked his village that faithful night, that a man who had called himself Madara Uchiha had been behind it all, having put the Kyuubi under a powerful Genjutsu after extracting it from his mother while she was weakened from giving birth to him.

After learning everything that had happened on that faithful october 10 night, Naruto didn't hold it against the Kyuubi, which led to it revealing it's true name, Kurama.

Naruto and Kurama had quickly formed a strong bond between Bijuu and Jinchuuriki, something which so far had only really been seen with the Jinchuuriki of the Hachibi in Kumogakure.

Yuki then joked "I think Kurama should be happy, that bond didn't come with horrible rapping." Which got a few light chuckles.

He also didn't resent his father for what he did, after all, what kind of man could ask another family to let him imprison a demon inside their child, if he isn't willing to do it to his own child.

Yuki pointed out, "In the original world, that is also true. You still punched him in the gut though for it."

But there was also the fact that only an Uzumaki could properly hold back Kurama.

Back to the present matter though.

Kurama rolled his eyes at his container's nickname for him ''Listen, I know of a way to get us far, and I mean REALLY far, from the elemental nations, it involves a technique, one that just might send us spiraling into another world altogether.''

Naruto, for a 13 year old, surprisingly understood the implications quickly ''Wouldn't a technique like that take a hell of a lot of chakra though?''

He could feel Kurama nod in his mindscape ''Indeed, it would take a lot of my chakra to complete, and I'll end up unable to help you for a few months at best, at worst, a whole year.''

Naruto nodded ''Well one year wouldn't be so bad, heck, having some time when I can't rely on you to lend me some chakra to keep going might do me some good for my training.''

Kurama grinned ''Still plan on being strong, even if you can't be Hokage anymore?''

Naruto nodded with determination ''Heck yeah, even if I can't become Hokage, I'll make sure people will remember me one day-ttebayo!''

Naruto could suddenly feel Kurama give him a dry stare ''You seriously need to get rid of that little verbal tic of yours kit.''

Naruto sighed, he couldn't help but agree with Kurama on this, although that little tic of his was part of he was, it could get annoying at times, although it became less annoying to him when he learned that his mother had a verbal tic of her own, ending her phrases in Dattebane, compared to his Dattebayo.

"Like mother like son."

Naruto stopped tree hoping and crouched a bit ''So, what exactly will the technique do?'' he asked Kurama.

Kurama sighed slightly ''Basically it'll create some kind of ripple across space and time and send us somewhere else.''

Naruto rose an eyebrow ''So it's like an even cooler version of my father's Hiraishin jutsu then, some kind of super strong space-time ninjutsu.''

Kurama shrugged within the seal ''Essentially yes, except we don't need to have something on the receiving end to wherever we go.''

Naruto smiled as he sat cross-legged on the branch ''Alright, go for it Kurama.''

Naruto felt Kurama nod from within the seal and waited as the powerful Bijuu gathered it's chakra for the technique, before he suddenly felt himself lurch forward when the chakra was released, and was greeted by darkness.

Some time later, Naruto awoke in a forest, except he didn't recognize it.

He tried to make contact with Kurama ''Oi, Kurama, can you hear me?''

He didn't get any reply for a moment, before he heard a tired voice in his mind ''Be a little less loud kit, I need to rest after using up that much chakra, you probably won't be hearing from me for a little bit.''

Naruto nodded in understanding ''Alright, see you again soon fuzz ball.'' he finished with a grin, receiving a snort before he started to hear light snoring from within his mind.

Yuki waved off the questions "Don't worry, Kurama's always like that."

He stood up and started walking in a random direction ''First things first, try to find civilization.''

It took him a few hours, but he soon found it, a small fishing village from the looks of it that had some high walls, probably to keep wild animals out.

He made his way to the village, and was quite happy that they let him in without issue, heck they outright welcomed him with open arms.

He did receive a few curious stares from younger children though, who would point at his whisker marks on his cheeks and ask if he was a Faunus.

Naruto had no idea what a Faunus was, but said that he was a human.

Before entering the village though, Naruto had decided to remove his headband, seeing as he wasn't affiliated with Konoha anymore, but he couldn't bring himself to get rid of it, after all, it was gifted to him by Iruka when he defeated Mizuki and stopped him from stealing the forbidden scroll.

As he was walking around the town, he felt something small bump into him, making him look down to see a little blonde girl, probably only 7 years old, down on her butt, probably after having ran into him.

Yuki had to cover his ears from the volume of the collective "awwww!" that sprung from the girls mouths.

Naruto bent down to her level ''Oi, are you ok-ttebayo?''

The little girl looked up at him with curious green eyes before she nodded.

Naruto grinned ''Alright, I'd feel bad if you got hurt because of me, so, what's your name?''

The little girl smiled as she stood up ''I'm Jane Arc! What about you?''

Naruto would have answered her, but he had decided on something.

This place, whatever it was, could be a new beginning for him, so he decided to cast aside his old name, his old identity as Naruto Uzumaki, even though his parents chose that name with love, he wanted a fresh start as someone new.

Naruto begrudgingly nodded, he probably do the same thing if that was the case with himself.

So instead he shrugged ''I don't have a name.''

The little girl gasped ''But everyone needs a name!'' she said before grabbing him and attempted to drag him.

He rose an eyebrow at the little girl who was trying to drag him, letting himself get pulled along after a few seconds ''What are you doing?''

''I'm taking you to see Mommy and Daddy, they'll give you a name!'' said Jane with a big smile.

He was just even more confused at that, but he continued to let the little girl drag him along until they reached a pretty big house near the center of town.

The little girl pulled him inside and told him to wait at the door while she ran deeper inside, most likely to go find her parents.

A few minutes later, a beautiful woman came to see him, she had long blonde hair, and the same green eyes as the girl, she also had a baby in her arms at the moment.

''So, my daughter said she found a boy with no name, I'm guessing that's you?'' she said to him.

He nodded, still a bit unsure.

The woman hummed in thought ''Well, we can't have that now can we?'' she looked at him with a warm smile ''And you know, I've always wanted a son, 7 daughters does that to you.''

Everyone's eyes widened 'Seven Daughters?!'

His eyes widened, was she saying what he thought she was saying?

''So, a name then.'' she looked him over for a moment before snapping her fingers ''I've got it. How does Jaune sound?''

The now renamed Jaune tried it ''Jaune... I like it.'' he finished with a smile.

''You're also gonna need a family name, so, how about we call you Jaune Arc from now on.'' she said with a smile.

Jaune looked up at her with wide eyes ''But isn't that Jane's family name?''

She nodded ''It's also my family name, you can call me Melody by the way, or you can go short and call me mom from now on.''

Jaune looked at Melody with tears threatening to slip out of his eyes ''M-mom?''

She smiled sweetly at him as she bent down and brought him into a hug ''I've seen those eyes before, those are the eyes of someone who's lost a lot, but, do you want to know what the best medicine for that is?'' Jaune nodded ''It's love Jaune.''

The dam broke as Jaune started crying into her shoulder, years of pent up grief and sadness, finally let loose, as his new mother rubbed his back soothingly, the baby in her arms still sleeping soundly somehow.

Everyone was a mix of relief and saddened by this. Saddened that Naruto had to live with all of that and relief that at least the Naruto, or rather Jaune, in the story was finally getting some family.

It was this scene that Jaques Arc walked in on.

Melody looked up at her husband ''Welcome home honey, and say hello to your new son.''

Jaune turned to look at him, wiping his eyes with his sleeve.

He was a mountain of a man, with dark brown hair and blue eyes.

And dear lord he was built like a brick wall.

Everyone had wide eyes at that, this guy was more ripped than Gai-sensei!

It took a few moments before somebody said something, that somebody being Jacques.

''So, we're adopting this kid then?'' he recieved a nod from his wife ''Alright then, I'll go and take care of the paperwork, what's your name son?''

Jaune smiled at his new father ''Jaune Arc.''

And so, it was on this day that Naruto Uzumaki disappeared, and Jaune Arc was born on Remnant.

"And that's the end of the prologue." Yuki said as he momentarily closed the book and looked to everyone in front of him. He then was bombarded by questions, questions that he spent a bit of time answering before he'd get to the next chapter.
