To be honest I've read a lot of Naruto crossovers with Sekirei, but I've never read one where it's reversed. By reversed I mean the ridiculously chesty aliens with superpowers fight in the world of ninjas who aren't really ninjas but also super powered individuals; without further ado, my latest story.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Sekirei. To be honest I don't even know who owns Sekirei I'm sure it's someone, but it is not me. Nor am I a Japanese man by the name of Masashi Kishimoto so… Yeah I got shit.
Namikaze Minato sat at his desk looking at three individuals who could all easily be proclaimed as legends. His teacher, Jiraiya, as well as his two teammates, Orochimaru and Senju Tsunade, compromised the team known as the Sannin, Konoha's premier ninja team who had no peers. They had been trained under the Sandaime Hokage and even were amongst three of the five individuals who had lived after fighting Hanzo, the ruler and strongest ninja in all of Amegakure.
Even their skills outside of fighting were renowned. Orochimaru could easily be considered the smartest man in the Elemental Nations as well as the leading experiment in almost every scientific field. Tsunade was the world's finest medic and doctor. Even Jiraiya was an author, despite his major novels being of a less than decorous nature.
They hadn't moved at all through his pensive thoughts as per protocol for Konoha shinobi. "Rise," he said with a firm tone that represented his power and position, "and report."
Jiraiya stepped forward. Generally, if the three legends were to every gather, a very rare occurrence, then Orochimaru led and delivered the mission report. This mission was completely different though. It was given to Jiraiya by the Elder Toad Sage himself and therefore his teacher led the mission.
"We reached the crash site of what the locals in Tsume no Kuni (Claw Country) thought was a falling star. As the elder toad predicted, it wasn't. It was a ship of some kind from space and within it were no more than one hundred and seven fetuses all still alive in some kind of fluid along with one full grown adult who was suspended in the fluid as well."
Minato frowned. This had never happened before and if he were to be brutally honest he had absolutely no idea on how to handle it. "What do you suggest we do?"
This time Orochimaru stepped forward. "If I may be so bold," his long tongue licked his pale lips as he waited to be acknowledged with Minato granted with a dip of his head, "I believe that bringing these specimens into the village for study would be of great benefit to the village both for scientific research and as a deterrent."
The anticipation of having something like this spaceship in the village was displayed in the snake summoner's eyes. The yellow irises seemed to glow with an animation Minato nor Orochimaru's teammates had ever seen and it was horrifying.
Minato was still rather overwhelmed, but he was still a brilliant leader and knew that listening to his soldiers would be the best idea in this case. "How on earth would do you plan on bringing something that large into the village?"
"Reverse summoning would do it." Jiraiya said as he turned to his student, "We could have Manda or Gamabunta do it easily. Although I would suggest having it studied outside the village and on a need to know basis."
On the edge of his vision, Minato saw Tsunade give a silent nod of agreement. The Sannin had agreed after finding the ship that it would be something for the three of them to be involved in and them alone as it was certainly interesting to any scientist or doctor when you find seemingly flash frozen bodies inside a large metal hull.
"Fair enough. I want the three of you to devote all of your time to this project. Until we know if this ship as you called it is a threat I want the three of you to monitor and study it alone as an S-Class secret for the safety of Konohagakure."
Those were the last orders Namikaze Minato would give to the three as several months later the Yondaime Hokage would sacrifice his life for the village due to the machinations of a masked man.

Orochimaru stared out of his latest lab's window. In the distance, he watched with mild delight as a burnt orange fox rampaged through his home. He really did hope that it didn't crush his underground labs; it would be such a setback to lose all of the data housed in there.
He may have been more worried if he wasn't spending almost all of his time on the ship. The data he gathered here was fascinating; never before had he encountered such unique genetic structuring. How he wished that Tsunade would work harder and find a safe way to bring them out of stasis without killing them. It would be quite the boon to his research if he could talk to that adult one.
His gaze shifted from the window to the aghast countenances of his 'teammates'. How immensely he reveled in their woe. Clearly Jiraiya was fretting over his student, Minato, and Tsunade was bound to be worried about that young girl she towed everywhere with her, Shizune, he believed. Not that he could actually care about her, unlike Jiraiya's student she had no inherent talent that would make her an interesting test subject. It was difficult for him to call them that when he felt no connection whatsoever, but they were involved in this research along with him so he would have to shovel his hate a little longer.
The whole project had delayed his plans a little longer in general. Ever since he had been driven from the position of Hokage by that so called genius of a blonde that his idiot compatriot taught, he had planned to leave the village. He had even stepped up his experiments on the shinobi and citizens of Konoha, something he hadn't done before Minato had usurped him of his prize.
An eternity seemed to had passed before the berserk rage of the tailed beast had subsided. Orochimaru inwardly smiled to himself. With such a drastic change to the village's life the research they were doing would certainly become more valuable. It would make things more… interesting.
Shadow of Fate
Sarutobi Hiruzen was a tired man. He had seen much in his years; at times it felt like it was too much. Tonight he felt that weight. His successor, Namikaze Minato, a genius who would only come once a generation, left an empty chair that night and a son who could be considered all but abandoned.
It would be a harsh existence for the boy that was for sure. While not uncommon for children to lose their parents due to wars or the occasional disease, it was very rare for a child to be left to his own devices on the day of his birth and bearing a bijuu no less. It would be a miserable existence for Uzumaki Naruto indeed.
The sound of the office door being opened alerted him to the five presences that he requested for consultation, his students being, despite their heavily evident faults, learned and wise ninja in their own right as well as his council, Homura and Koharu. The council had been established under his first stint as Hokage and they had advised Minato for the few years he held office.
"So that is the boy?" Right down to business as always. Orochimaru was always interested more in the future than the past, even if it happened less than an hour ago. Jiraiya was uncharacteristically reticent but that was to be expected considering the circumstances and Tsunade had her hand on his shoulder in a show of support.
"Yes this is Uzumaki Naruto."
Homura turned to his fellow student of Tobirama, "What are you going to do, Hiruzen?" They had fought together for so long that all formalities had been dropped between them, but the Sandaime would proudly admit that he preferred it that way.
In answer to the question he didn't know. Mito-sama was the first Kyuubi jinchuriki and it was well-known as she took the burden to end the fight between her husband and Uchiha Madara. After that it was given to the only other Uzumaki who had potent chakra like Mito so that the beast would not rampage in the wake of her death, Kushina. Kushina's identity as a jinchuriki was only revealed to those she told; it would not be that easy with Naruto. The people would need an answer as to where the beast went after the attack. The village also needed a deterrent to the other villages in the form of a jinchuriki. "I-I don't know. The people deserve to know where the Kyuubi is after all they have suffered tonight and we need the other villages to know that Shodaime-sama's gift to our village has not been lost, but I feel as if young Naruto were to bear a harsh burden that I do not wish upon any person let alone a child."
Koharu looked at him with a stern gaze, "You are right Hokage-sama, the people do deserve to know what happened to the Kyuubi and it is in the best interest of the village for us to have a jinchuriki as a deterrent."
"I will not have my godson be used as political fodder for the village!" for the first time that Sarutobi had seen him that night Jiraiya showed emotion. Clearly he was holding in much from the deaths of Minato and Kushina as well as Naruto's unique scenario but until now he didn't show it.
"Calm down Jiraiya! Naruto isn't the only one who will suffer if we put him first. The whole village could be put to war again if we don't be careful."
The white-haired man stared at the sleeping form of his godson for a few moments before storming out of the room. "Sensei," the soft voice of Orochimaru rang out through the room, "the village deserves to know."
"I know." That wasn't the issue that Hiruzen was facing internally. He felt the pain of having to give the boy of life of suffering for crimes he didn't commit. Minato left him in quite the position. "Homura, Koharu, I want you to alert the populace that the Yondaime sacrificed his life for the village today. He sealed the beast away into this boy, Uzumaki Naruto, so that we could live for tomorrow."
As his former teammates left the room he beckoned his remaining students to stay, "What are the three of you doing in the village?"
Orochimaru gave a coy smile and Tsunade a knowing smirk, whatever the reason for their presence it was bound to be interesting. The remaining three shinobi left the room to discuss their research with the reinstated Sandaime Hokage and never noticed the other presence in that room.
The sleeping form of Naruto was overshadowed by the form of a young man in a mask decorated by a flame pattern around its single open eye hole.
"Things are getting very interesting. Aren't they, Naruto?" The baby continued to sleep as the masked man went on, "I have big plans for this world and I hope you live to see the world without lies. It would be a fair trade with Minato-sensei; his life for his son's eternal happiness."
His hand reached to touch the child's hair, "Rin-chan would have loved to see her sensei's child." Without another word, his body seemed to distort and twist itself into the hole in the mask and then there was nothing.
Shadow of Fate
It had taken several more months of study but the team was ready. It was time they thawed out the adult body. Orochimaru was ecstatic at the prospect of a live specimen as he could only learn so much from the frozen ones.
He turned to the only other person he thought mildly capable in a lab, Tsunade, "Are you ready?"
She nodded and sent through a series of handseals before her hand adopted a green hue. She applied the appendage to the body of the purple haired woman and the solid blue stasis fluid seemed to evaporate.
If Orochimaru was not a trained killer with sadistic tendencies who had long since schooled his emotions he would have let out a juvenile squeal of excitement. It was almost time to see if all this research paid off.
"Where…" Her voice was weak presumably from fatigue. The cryogenic process would have been akin to waking up from a long nap and if the bodies in the ship were indeed human then they would suffer from similar effects.
Jiraiya's hand went to the unknown woman's as she tried to raise it. "It'll be alright. We're here for you."
"Are the others… Did the others make it too?" Concern was the only discernible emotion written on her face at the moment. If she was feeling others she was a very good actor.
"Yes although in their current form we decided that it would be a wiser to awaken you, as you are in a more stable form, to see if the process would work." Tsunade said as several beads of sweat dripped down her forehead. Orochimaru was not above noting the skills of others and in his eyes Tsunade could be considered almost a transcendent being. He would truly have given anything to have her body and not for the self-indulgent reasons that Jiraiya bore for the same wish.
With the rest of the fluid removed from the woman's body, Tsunade began to heal the fatigue away through her medical ninjutsu. The purple-haired woman slowly and as Jiraiya noted, very methodically, brought her torso up into an upright position.
Her gaze fell upon those around her and Miya for the first time in a long time observed those around her. There were four of them: one was very pale and sported an eerie smile, another was a very beautiful blonde haired woman with a green jacket, the next was an extremely tall man with a mane of long white hair, and the final was an elder individual with sharp eyes but a grizzled face as if he was always expecting the worse to happen.
She was still in the ship and she could still see the other one hundred and seven fetuses in the ship. That was good; as long as they were still alive they still had a chance. "What do you want with me?"
"We are less interested in you and more interested in why you're here. Anything else can be filled in later, but first and foremost we must be sure that you aren't a threat to our home." The elderly one in the white robes and hat was clearly the one in charge. Miya would concede that he had a fine point; any leader must ensure the safety of their people first and foremost. Unfortunately if they were to attack her they would find that she held a similar idea in mind.
"I am a Pillar for these Sekirei and if you are willing to grant it we are in need of your help." She tried to move forward to couple her request with a physical show of modesty but Tsunade wasn't quite done and instead Miya lurched forward in pain while she clutched her stomach.
"Sensei," Jiraiya started with a sad look in her eyes, "we have to help her."
Sarutobi looked outside into the night sky. It was always something happening in this village and what was even worse is he didn't even start this whole problem that stupid blonde bastard did. Then he had the courtesy to go die. Oh how he picture his successor in his white coat with a smug look on his face. Sarutobi, not for the last time that night released a sigh; it was going to be a long second term as Hokage.
Shadow of Fate
Miya was an alien and according to Tsunade an alien with almost an exact match in anatomy and genetic code to humans. She had told them that they fled their planet long ago with seven other ships but the others had yet to make it or hadn't made it at all.
In fact, it seemed they shared quite a bit of similarities with the inhabitants of the planet that they had landed on. They too had special abilities unique to each one that could be separated into four types: weapon, fist or close combat, elemental, and brain.
Their abilities were more specialized than a shinobi's though. While a shinobi may start out with no amount of talent for fire techniques he could develop it as well as other abilities over time, but a Sekirei was limited to their specialization although their innate sense for that particular talent would be much greater.
They also had very strange relationships. A Sekirei would bond with their Ashikabi through a kiss, a process called 'winging' as the Sekirei would grow wings. When this happened the newly winged Sekirei would become stronger and would be able to use his or her Norito by reciting a unique chant.
Now that it had been established that the race presented little to no threat but a great amount of research, Sarutobi was being pressured by his students into letting them stay here in Konoha. That would go over well. He could hear it now, "First we fight a demon and then this?" Yeah that was just what he needed now that he was back in the office.
"Honestly sensei I don't see what your problem is with it. Our idea is great." Tsunade said with her arms crossed beneath her bust and her head turned to the left. She always was too stubborn.
"Tsunade, you know as well as I that I can't just introduce a clan into existence in Konoha that no one has ever heard of. I don't even think that we can introduce clans to the village in general since it hasn't been done since the founding of the village. Do you know what kind of political outrage that would cause?"
She honestly did know, but Tsunade didn't care. She had always faced her problems in a head on kind of manner. "And I've told you that you that I don't give a damn about politics. These… Sekirei are both people, like you and me, with no home not to mention with the abilities that they have the potential research they offer us." She opened her eyes and uncrossed her arms from her chest, "Grandfather would let them in. He would always be willing to give people a second chance."
The Sandaime's eyes went to the first picture on the wall of a man clad in red samurai styled armor with a stern look on his face. Sarutobi felt that the picture did very little to capture the man's true nature as he was rarely stern but kind. "I know. I remember my first teacher fondly; he taught me a lot about what it means to lead a village with the Will of Fire."
"So did my second sensei, your great uncle Tobirama, taught me differently though. Where Hashirama-sensei taught me about how people of the leaf village need to be led Tobirama-sensei taught me how to defend that village from threats and these Sekirei can easily fall into the category of threats to this village."
"I was wondering if you had gone soft old man, but I can see that those thoughts were misplaced. You are fulfilling the role of 'Kami no Shinobi' (God of Shinobi) that you earned all those years ago." Tsunade's sarcasm slipped into a more pleading tone, "but this village wasn't built on a totalitarian rule that hardliners like Danzo want. It was built on the ideals of forgiveness and compassion that allowed the first hidden village to win three wars. It's that kind of belief that we have to share with the Sekirei, sensei. It's our job."
Hiruzen looked at the stern portrait of the Shodaime and the smiling face of the Yondaime. She was right. It was Konoha's place as the paragon of the Elemental Nation to help those less fortunate than themselves. "I'll see what I can do."
Shadow of Fate
It was a very rare occurrence for the clan heads to gather. It could almost be considered a taboo amongst clan heads to gather them all together.
Hiruzen sat at the head of the table both representing his position as head of the Sarutobi Clan and Hokage. To his left were the clan heads for the Senju, Tsunade herself, Hyuuga, Hiashi Hyuuga, Inuzuka, Tsume, and the last was the Aburahme who were led by Shibi. On the right was the Uchiha clan, under Fugaku Uchiha, the Nara, Shikaku, Yamanaka, Inoichi, and the last clan was the Akamichi with Chouza as their clan head. At the other end of the table was Miya herself representing the Sekirei.
"Are we already at war again?" The lazy drawl of Shikaku was the first to voice everyone's thoughts. That was the only reason in the history of Konoha that the clan heads were summoned.
The Sandaime shook his head as a negative, "No nothing so grievous. In fact this news could be considered as a rather joyous occasion. Many of you won't know this but several months ago Konoha came into contact with a foreign force that has never been heard of. Calling themselves the Sekirei they asked to join Konoha as a clan and so we gather here to vote on their fate."
Hiashi looked at the regal women at the other end of the table, "Would this be their representative?"
"I am Miya and you could consider me both the protector and leader of the Sekirei."
"Protector?" Tsume snorted, "Why would we let some nobody group into our village if they need a protector no matter how strong she may be?"
"Maybe because as of right now the majority of the Sekirei forces are indisposed as babies?" Tsunade voiced her opinion, "Myself, as well as the other Sannin, were tasked by the Yondaime before his death to look into the benefits that they could offer this village and I can personally attest that they would be nothing but a boon to our forces. Especially as we are already down since the Kyuubi attack."
"That could be the reason we might not let them in at all. If they wish to be a clan then they are going to need land and a compound. While we have the land to give I think that rebuilding our own homes would be of a higher priority." Many bad things have been said about Uchiha Fugaku but no one could deny that he always thought of the village first, however misguided that vision may be.
"I think it would be highly illogical to vote out any potential soldiers or civilians. We need to present a threat to the other villages and more shinobi make quite the deterrent." Hiruzen could not help but to try to repress his smirk. Shibi always broke things down in a logical manner and despite his utter lack of charisma his logic made up for it.
Shikaku turned to Miya, "Do the Sekirei have any special abilities that would allow you to be considered a clan in the eyes of Konoha like how we hold of Kekkei Genkei abilities?"
Miya nodded and began to explain how the Sekirei worked both in terms of power and culture with help from Tsunade. Tsunade watched the apprehensive gazes of the clan heads turn from disapproving to favorable. The comments had been spot on. Konoha needed troops right now and a new clan to show the world would put many ill at ease. The Sekirei couldn't have been found at a better time.
"Shall we vote?"
A resounding sound of 'Aye' throughout the room signified that the time for debate and discussion was over and it was now time for choices to be made.
The nine clan heads turned their focus and pens to the paper placed in front of them and wrote their responses, a yes or no, on the paper before folding it and giving it to the Hokage. In the end it was a landslide seven to two vote that sealed the deal. The Sekirei would join Konoha as a new clan.
Miya smiled. This council meeting was the first step to realizing her dream to see all the little birds that she protected flap their wings and fly to find their Ashikabi.
Little did the existing clan heads know, but there was an outsider who was not welcome hiding behind the wall. Danzo frowned as the heads granted citizenship to these… foreigners. It was disgustingly inconceivable to him to see this happen. While the boost in military power was certainly welcome how could he be assured of the loyalty of these new soldiers. They could be spies for all they knew; had Sarutobi gone senile? In the end, it didn't matter. He would take matters into his own hands and as the roots of the village uphold its mighty body.
So I guess you all know what this means right? Minaka and the MBI will kind of be replaced by the Sannin and Konoha military system. The next chapter will elaborate more on that though. Other than that I can tell you the story will follow canon but will have significant changes, starting with the whole Ashikabi/Sekirei thing.
So I have two Sekirei picked out but I'll probably go up to four based on reviewer's suggestions. So toss in any name you like, but I will warn you there are certain characters I already have plans for so no matter what they won't be used.
