Author's Note: Hey everybody, this is my first attempt at a cross-over fanfiction. I'm mainly writing this story for fun, but also to test and hopefully further improve my English skills (so please forgive me for any grammatical or spelling errors). This story begins at the beginning of the game Halo 4 when the Master Chief is being sucked into the planet Requiem, but is transported to an alternate universe (the one of the Naruto story). Please enjoy.
DISCLAIMER: I own neither Naruto nor Halo!

It was too late to get to an escape pod. John knew it. He knew that only a miracle could save him now. The FORWARD UNTO DAWN was being sucked into the planet along with the Covenant ships. But in opposition to them the FORWARD was only half a ship with no kinetic barriers and therefore being obliterated in the process. The Master Chief held onto the first somewhat big piece of metal he could grasp, luckily since the ship was about to
explode right beneath his feet.
"Now!" Cortana shouted in John's head and he reacted in the same instant, pushing himself away from the ship with all his force. Four seconds later the ship finally exploded and the force of the shockwave pushed John even stronger towards the opening in the planet. Huge pieces of metal came flying towards him and he had to use his reflexes to a rare maximum. But then he saw it. Something, that looked like a shiny rift in reality itself.
"Watch out John!" Cortana cried "We don't know what it is!" But the Master Chief already knew that it was too late.
He was floating towards the rift with incredible speed, no evading it possible. He closed his eyes and prepared for... He didn't really know what he prepared for. Death most likely. There was a bright light which John could even see with his eyes closed. Then he suddenly felt like he was falling through an atmosphere. He opened his eyes only to see that he was about to fall about a mile towards a huge forest. Now he knew what to prepare himself for. The impact. And when it came it came hard (That's what she said!). Strangely the impact didn't hurt as bad as John had expected. His armor didn't even lock down. After a couple of seconds to regain his senses, John pushed himself off the ground and gracefully jumped into a standing position.
"Cortana! How are you?" John asked aloud. The answer could only heard by John himself of course.
"Of course I'm okay. The better question is: How do YOU feel?" Cortana said.
"I'm fine." John answered "Where are we?"
"You may not believe it, but I have no idea..." Cortana answered clearly uncomfortable with the situation.
John looked around the crash zone. He couldn't believe all the gear he found when he made two piles of it. One pile for Weapons and one for armor-abilities.
"Nice gear you have there. You are the luckiest soldier in the universe." Cortana exclaimed.
John wasn't too sure of that, but he hoped Cortana was right. First he started installing the armor equipment, which actually was a lot. He got a Jetpack with a built-in thruster pack, an active camouflage chip, a hologram projector, an armor lock shield extension and an attachment for his helmet which granted him some sort of heat vision. Thanks to Cortana the whole installing process was rather easy and was finished quite quickly.
Then John took a look at his weapons. His combat knife still was in its place. On the ground before him there was a DMR, a UNSC Sniper Rifle, a MA5C Assault Rifle, a M6D Magnum pistol, a shotgun, a Battle Rifle, a Rocket Launcher with two rockets, a Spartan Laser and even a type 1 energy sword. The icing on that load of firepower consisted of a whole lot of ammunition and at least a dozen each frag and plasma grenades. His only problem was how he would be able to transport all of these weapons.
"Unknown contacts inbound! Closing in fast." Cortana interrupted his thoughts "I recognize five contacts. John you have 2 minutes at most until they get here."
John reacted on instinct. If said contacts were Covenant forces (or worse) he had to make the most out of these two minutes he had. The Chief used his Jetpack to hide all weapons within the crash area, mostly in tree trunks and bushes. He only kept the Magnum, the Battle Rifle, the energy sword and some grenades for himself. Then he got to cover within a huge bush.

They were almost at the place where whatever it was hit the ground hard enough to be heard and seen even from the Hidden Leaf Village. The fifth Hokage had sent them immediately to investigate the crash site. Sasuke Uchiha had a bad feeling leading his Anbu squad into this area since he had never heard of a technique that could cause such an explosion. Well except for the Ultimate technique of Deidara, but that man had been dead for some years now. However, if any Ninja as strong as Deidara was the cause of the Impact Sasuke's worries were totally justified.
"Sir! I don't recognize any strong source of chakra near the crater." the sensoric Shinobi of his squad said.
Sasuke was relieved, but stayed cautious. He had learned to never ever underestimate an opponent the hard way. When they finally arrived at the crash site no trace of a human being could be found except for some fresh footsteps right next to the crater. Sasuke scanned the area carefully and only one thing ticked him of. One little branch of a huge bush was scattered. Then he saw a golden reflection somewhere between the leaves only for the
shortest of moments, but it sufficed. He formed his hand signs with superhuman speed.
"Fire-style! Fireball-Jutsu!" he shouted and the bush went up in flames.
The next thing Sasuke knew was a fist thrusting out of the bush, closing the distance of at least 5 meters with such an incredible speed that he couldn't possibly react fast enough to evade. The punch landed right in his face almost crushing his skull and sending him flying backwards right through a couple of thick trees. When Sasuke regained his senses and held
his face in hellish pain the dust started to clear and opened his vision to a creature unlike anything he or any of his squad members had ever seen. In the middle of the clearing there was a warrior in green full body armor.
He was at least 3 heads taller than Sasuke and held something in his hand that was probably some kind of weapon, but Sasuke couldn't possibly think what the long metal rod could do to qualify as a serious weapon. The green person raised the rod so that it pointed directly at Sasuke. Only now Sasuke would recognize a little hole at the end of the rod. He didn't know what it could do, but he didn't even want to find out.
He quickly jumped to his feet and high in the air and not a second too early. At the same moment he jumped he heard a loud bang and could see three deep holes in the tree right where he had been only half a second ago.
"Don't let him hit you!" He shouted to his squad mates. Two of them had already initiated a counter attack.
Fast and accurate. Perfectly from two sides and normally sealing any target's fate. Only that this warrior wasn't just any target. The warrior's reaction was so fast that even Sasuke's Sharingan couldn't follow it. All that could be heard was the breaking of jaws and ribs and almost in the same instant it was all over. Two squad mates down heavily wounded, leaving Sasuke only with two Shinobi. However the strange soldier did not seem to intend to kill the wounded Ninjas. Instead he now seemed to focus on the Ninjas who were still able to fight, mainly on Sasuke though since it appeared that his leading position was no secret from this person any more.
Sasuke activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, not going unnoticed by the green warrior who immediately dashed towards him. Sasuke didn't have time to use his Amaterasu or Susano'o. He was lucky enough to evade the punch at the last moment and he only realized HOW lucky that escape was when the indeed big and thick tree almost exploded behind him.
'Such unbelievable force' He thought 'If that fist hits me again it might kill me.'
Even though he didn't want to admit it, this green soldier who seemed like he could only use Tai-Jutsu was one of the scariest and strongest opponents Sasuke had faced in the last three years. He suddenly wished he could switch this unknown enemy for someone like Deidara who was very dangerous, but at least a lot slower. Knowing quite a lot of strong Ninjas, this person's reaction time was still way off the charts, even for a Special Jounin ranked Shinobi.
His two remaining squad mates tried to keep the warrior at a distance, totally forgetting about the powerful ranged weapon the stranger wielded. One shot to the knee of the first Ninja
and he went down heavily wounded and unable to continue the fight. The other Shinobi jumped high in the air ready to attack. Pink hair flowed through the wind under the Anbu mask.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The pink haired attacker definitely was female. Flat chested, but female. Her fist started glowing in the air and John knew this was a bad sign. He ducked and just when the fist hit his neck his armor lock over-shield activated. The female Ninja bounced off the Master Chief's kinetic barrier and flew backwards into the air again.
John didn't waste a second. He disabled armor lock and instead activated his Jetpack to fly after her. While thrusting upwards he had already grabbed his combat knife and and swung it towards the woman's gut. A loud cry was what broke the silence of the attack.
"NOOOOO! SAKURA!" John recognized the voice as the man who seemed to be the enemy team leader so he ignored it and managed to bury his knife deep in the woman's stomach. When he landed he caught the unconscious Shinobi in his arms and laid her on the ground. Once he looked for the last enemy standing, he already found himself at a need to evade a gigantic glowing bolt that had been shot by some sort of even more gigantic exoskeleton, which had formed around the dark haired man. Looking at the attacker, John realized yet another unusual thing about the Ninja, besides him having unlogical superpowers. His eyes were a mixture of red and black, but the really weird thing was that they appeared to form a pattern. The Master Chief did not have any time to analyze this any further, since he had to evade several more bolts that were just waiting to impale him. Finally the rain of pales stopped, but instead John could see the man making strange sings with his hands.
"CHIDORI!" was all John heard the Ninja shout.
A blade of pure electricity formed around the Shinobi's hand and John knew that this blade would easily cut through his shield and armor, not to mention his body, if it hit him. On reflex he did the first and probably best thing that came to his mind.
He drew his energy sword and used his thruster pack to push himself towards the enemy who himself rushed towards the Master Chief. At this Moment not even Cortana could guess which blade and thus which warrior would be victorious. As the swords clashed the clearing was being covered in a bright light.

A/N: Thanks a lot for reading the first chapter of my story. Please tell me your thoughts about it, I really wanna know if I'm doing good or bad for my first fanfiction :D
Some explanations:
The story starts at the beginning of Halo 4. The rift that John is sucked in sends him to a parallel universe, the one where the story of Naruto takes place. Since in this other universe the human body relies on chakra to function, the Master Chief of course is theoretically able to use chakra, but was never trained in Nin- or Gen-Jutsu (obviously) so he will instinctively and without knowing use his chakra to make himself even stronger (like Sakura/Tsunade) and faster (like Rock Lee/Gai). Then of course there is the equipment that has a bit less restrictions than in the game, since I wanted to keep it interesting.
These are the only reasons why John could keep up with a Ninja in the first place (His weapons, armor and superior modified genes give him a little edge though).
