A/N: This is a new attempt at a story i have not thought of before and i hope it is well received. This is based of Dragonsoul94s story which I recomend if you like this type of X-over. If you don't like it don't read it. I don't mind negative reviews but make them have a way to improve rather than just pointing out faults or thing you don't like. I have a plan for this story but I will also take suggestions and may include them if you're convincing enough.

People always think that being a god or some kind of all powerful being would be fun and something to wish for and it is, to a point. Eventually you get bored and tired of messing around with the same world and people or run out of new ideas to employ on said people/worlds. Once you reach this point you start to want for something new, something completely different form before to satisfy your boredom and excite your imagination once more. This is the predicament a certain god of pokemon found themselves wrapped up in.
Arceus was bored, that was true however he was currently looking for a way alleviate said boredom by opening various windows into various dimensions looking for something to do and found many strange places like a world full of pirates with unique abilities,which was skipped over(to strange), a world or rather couple of worlds and interconnected universes full of screaming and glowing people(to scary) before he found a rather interesting world that caught his attention.(take a guess he he)
This world had people with many different abilities some of them akin to the abilities of pokemon. Intrigued by this world Arceus opened the window further and with a quick use of Psychic he began to feed himself information from multiple people all over the world and became more and more interested in the new world he had found.
The people, he discovered, use a form of energy they call chakra as a source for their techniques, know as jutsu. these techniques were based around 5 main elements: fire, water, wind, lightning and earth with varying levels of strength. the majority of the people in this world were standard civilians like those on the world Arceus usually visits but some who train themselves to use chakra and jutsu are known as shinobi or ninja.
As Arceus scanned across the world, he found this world was much more violent than his world and the shinobi we either the cause or those hired to stop it. He visited each of the 5 great nations and looked over them, and in the 4 he saw so far he found a large mix of both good and bad but nothing he hadn't seen already or before. The fifth Village, The village Hidden in the Leaves was the last one for him to look over. He was going over the village when he came across something rather strange and chose to investigate.
Naruto uzumaki namikaze was not having a great day, but then the 7 year old had not had a great day since he was 5 when his siblings training had started and he had been forgotten by his family. Now some might thik of this as oddd how could someone especially a child be forgotten by their own family. Well you see naruto is the son of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, he is also the oldest of the 3 triplets who are their children. His 2 younger sisters, called Mito and Naruko, were the 2 jinchuriki of the kyuubi no yoko or the nine-tailed demon fox.
When they were born 7 years ago the village had been attacked by the most powerful of the biju. There was lots of damage caused by the monstrous being before it was split in two and sealed into Mito and Naruko costing the life or the third hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. During the aftermath of the attack the yondaime hokage gave a speech to the recovering populace, stating that his two children help the beast at bay and were to be treated as heroes for doing so unknowingly. This was the start of how Naruto became forgotten.
Mito and Naruko were the famous twin saviours of the leaf and were so well known and regularly spoken about that Naruto, who had nothing special other than his heritage was slowly forgotten. This only got worse as time passed but Naruto didn't mind to much after all he wasn't even half a decade old and as smart as he was for his age he couldn't understand or comprehend such things beyond recognising that his younger siblings apparently did something special which made him proud of them as their older brother, even as he was slowly pushed to the side.
However things took a jump in the wrong direction for Naruto's slowly dwindling relationship with his family when they became five years old and for Mito and Naruko's birthday their training was started. Of course Naruto asked to be trained to but His parents gave an excuse along the lines of his sisters having to learn to control the kyuubi's power which ment they had to start training them one on one sooner but they would include Naruto next year.
When his sixth birthday rolled around he asked again but was given the same excuse with a twist and he was told the same words as before but they added that they underestimated the strength of the kyuubi's hatred and needed to focus all their attention on preparing the two jinchuriki as best they could for attempting to control their half of the biju's power.
This was what finally got to Naruto as he was very smart for his age and had heard of the shadowclone jutsu which he knew they were strong enough to use or they could have even just given him a scoll with some basic intructions but they didn't.
After hearing this Naruto decided not to push them and went out of the compound to walk around the village, he was doing so, walkinng around with his head down when he bumped into someone. Muttering an apology for not looking where he was going he started to continue without looking up when he heard a voice say. "Naruto?" Looking up in surprise at having his name called he whirled towards the one who spoke his name and was immediatly surprised to recognise the person as Itachi Uchiha, the son of his mothers best friend Mikoto Uchiha. "Naruto," Itachi repeated, "what are are you doing out and about, shouldn't you be at home?" He asked. Naruto who after hearing his name be called again was jolted out of his thoughts in time to hear the question before answering. "Hey Itachi, mom and dad are busy training Mito and Naruko at the moment so I thought I'd just go out for a bit of a wander for a while."
Itachi, being the prodigy that he was immediately realised something was up and after listening to the boy he thought of as a surrogate little brother he didn't have's answer saw problems. First being Naruto's sisters were being trained but not him, which was weird for a clan heir especially as he was the oldest. Next was the fact that his parents either didn't notice or care( he didn't honestly know which he would have prefered) that their six year old son was wandering around the village by himself.
Looking back at Naruto he began to frown at the slightly depressed look on his face and attached it to his sisters being trained and decided to do something about it as Naruto was the closest thing he had to a little brother and Itachi was going to let him be down if their was something he could do about it. Thinking quickly he asked "Naruto could you come with me quickly, its only for a quick chat as I have a mission soon?" Naruto seeing no reason not to trust the nice Uchiha he had met at several parties and gathering before when he had slunk of into the shadows after he was ignored once the pleasantries were done said. "Sure." and with that Itachi put a hand on his shoulder and shunshined them away.
stumbling slightly from the disorientation or the method of travel, he turned to ask Itachi where they went btu as he opened his mouth to talk Itachi put a hand out to shush him and said. "Now unfortunately I have a mission very soon so I can't beat around the bush but I want you to answer two questions of mine honestly okay." Surprised at his sudden seriousness Naruto nodded before Itachi continued, "good, now first question did your parents say they wouldn't train you alongside your sisters?" Almost falling over in shock at the the unexpected question Naruto could only repeat his earlier action of nodding and Itachi's black eyes seemed to gain a twinkle before it was hidden away behind his usual blank expression. "Next, would you like me to train you instead?" If he had been shocked before it was nothing compared to how Naruto was feeling now, who knew just going for a walk around the village would turn into getting an offer for training. He hesitated for about half a second before shouting, "YES" in sudden excitement.
Itachi now smirking let out a small chuckle and his enthusiasm before reaching into his jacket before pulling out a scroll and a box. seeing Naruto's curious look he explained that the scroll was a couple of basic chakra and fitness exercises and the box was some pocky(don't ask why Itachi has a scroll with basic chakra and fitness exercises in it, puny mortals cannot comprehend what goes on in Itachi Uchiha's head and why he does certain seemingly random or crazy things. cough cough telling his younger brother to get stronger through hate and hoping he will then make a better clan once he killed him cough cough).
Naruto immediately leapt at Itachi with a hug and started spouting thank you's at him all to the Uchiha's amusement before he tried some of the pocky at Itachi's suggestion and it was immediately declared the best food he had ever tasted making Itachi smile slightly in surprise, maybe he wouldn't be as ramen addicted as the rest of his family. Itachi let out another small smile before ruffling Naruto's hair and saying "I'll come find you when I'm back from my mission and I'll see how far you've gotten with those exercises okay." Naruto let out a grin and promised to have them mastered by the time he got back before the Young prodigy shunshined away to his mission location. Naruto almost bouncing in excitment immediately opened the scroll and saw a couple of standard workout routines and 2 chakra exercises called the leaf exercise and the tree walking exercise along with instructions for unlocking his chakra and deciding to get started right away as the day was still rather early got to work on the fitness exercises. After he had done some of them he went back to check the scroll and when he fully unrolled he he saw three words at the bottom that brought a couple off tears to his eyes. "Happy birthday, Naruto."
It was getting dark in the sky when Naruto finally stopped after throwing himself into using his best and only present and realised that he had trained all day even through lunch and dinner and was in fact rather tired. he started to turn to go home before remembering that he had no idea where Itachi transported them when he took him off the street to talk to him. After cursing Itachi multiple time both silently and out loud he decided the only thing he could do was look around until he recognised something. By the time he finally got back to his house the sky was black and the streets all but empty except for a few late nighters or drunks stumbling home from bars and parties. He opened the door to his house using a key hidden under a plant pot and went in closing the door quietly after replacing the key, expecting to have his mother come up and start to ask where he was and berate him for being so late he was surprised to find the house in total darkenss and no one up. Not wanting to believe it despite the irrefutable evidence in front of him the realisation hit him hard, he had been forgotten about, by his parents no less.
At first he couldn't get over his shock but when he did a wave of sadness quickly followed by anger rolled over him but he managed to maintain rationality and knew there was nothing he could do and he had been out all day and went to his room to sleep with hopes that maybe this was just an accident maybe they tired themselves out in training like he did and fell asleep with hopes that it was a one time thing.
Unfortunately things did not improve but back to the present despite being all but forgotten after his sixth birthday Naruto still lived occasionally at 'his' house. Really he spent most of his time with Itachi or by himself and normally camped out at night refusing Itachi's offers for him to come to his families house as as grateful as he was he knew there would be problems if word got out that he was staying at the Uchihas even if he was all but ignored by the general populace.
He decided he had wasted enough time and left unnoticed by his family not even needing to sneak out, and went to his and Itachi's usual meeting spot. Once he got there he saw the friend that had become his older brother their with a slight frown on his face causing Naruto to get concerned as it had to be bad if it was slipping through his mask of blankness, which was one of the many things he had taught Naruto over the year they had been training together.
"What's wrong?" Naruto asked as he stopped in front of his surrogate older brother. Itachi's face twisted into one of slight anger and regret and spoke, "it seems that I have been promoted to ANBU," as Naruto opened his mouth to ask Itachi continued halting and answering his question. "To answer your question is yes 'I' have accepted or rather my father has accepted for me and without a proper reason I can't stop it." said itachi remorsefully before continuing, "because of this as I'm sure you've guessed this will be as far as our training goes but I can honestly say there is not much more I could teach you!" He said proudly, "you have taken to everything i've taught you like a sponge to water and your even better than I was or even kakashi was at your age and are more than capable of developing on your own so i think you will get through this, besides it's not like I will stop seeing you but it will be very infrequent I'll probably leave a scroll here every so often so we can keep in contact ok."
Naruto in his part was shocked and saddened at the prospect of all but losing someone else in his life but he knew Itachi had taught him better than to break down and slipping the blank mask on that was now so familiar to the both of them he replied. "Ok."
"Now then, as I said I wont be able to teach as much but there is one thing I can teach you know and that is the summoning technique, and yes to answer what will probably be your next question you can't summon without a contract however, the technique can find you a contract if it is used without one. The best example of this is Jiraiya's toad contract which he gained by using the kuchiose no jutsu without a contract and I will leave you with the jutsu and the option to use it if you wish." He explained in his usual manner before handing Naruto a scroll and shunshining away just like when he first began training with him.
Naruto once again shocked by his no-longer teacher took a few minutes to finish getting over the loss of someone else as Itachi had taught him to conrtol his emotions and looked at the scroll in his hands. Opening it up and reading the instructions he quickly made up his mind to perform the Jutsu since Itachi, who would busy almost all the time now, was the only one who really cared about his whereabouts.
tearing the flesh of the end of his thumb as the scroll said he went through the hand signs before throwing his hand towards the floor and muttering, "kuchiose no jutsu," before he disappeared in a strange flash with his hand never reaching the floor.
Arceus, who had been watching the curious boy for most of the day so far didn't quite know what to think. First he went through the boys memories when he had seen him be left out by what was obviously his family and had been astounded that he had actually been forgotten about by his family but also that he didn't outright hate his siblings. Sure he hated his parents and lots of the villagers from where he lived but the fact that he only wanted nothing to do with the people that were technically responsible for his miserable life was incredible. Now watching him get someone else taken from him but that person actually left him with a promise of not going completely and a possibility for more friends and people to consider family made the god-like being happy for the boy that had captured his attention before he realised what the technique he had been given might allow him to do. After all he did come here to find something to do and it wouldn't be the first time he helped out a human, but this one might even be a companion that meets her standards.
His mind made up, Arceus made a decision that would cause events to go very differently from how they should have in more ways than one.
A quick use of Teleport before the boy finished the jutsu brought both of them to a mountain back in the pokeworld where the boy who was now unconcious from the travel would soon wake up and get more than he ever bargained for on such a seemingly Normal day.
A/N:I hope this is liked and well received and as I said above I'll take all reviews and suggestions but I can't promise whether or not I'll use them in this. next chapter will reveal what and who Naruto's pokemon are going to be along with some bonding/training time. The bit with Itachi probably wont go further unless I get a bunch of requests to do so as I only put him in as Naruto needed a proper friend and Itachi is a badass character but has slightly impaired decision making skills, just maybe :) last note is that I don't plan on giving anyone else pokemon I will keep it exclusive to Naruto and I also don't really have a pairing planned either but if someone gives me a few suggestions I like (hint hint) I might turn it into a poll. Hope this goes well
