I may be biting off more than I can jew with this one but FUCK it! I've had this idea in my head for a long time so I'm doing it anyway! Since there's only so much space or the summary I'll just restate/add to it here.
Naruto, having lost his live early into his training trip with Jiraiya finds himself reborn as Corrin from Fire Emblem Fates. Over the course of his new live the young prince slowly regains memories from his past live and eventually he starts to yearn for a way to see his old world, even if he no longer has a place in it. In his search he comes across a fabled artifact that may just grant his wish an while it can indeed take him to a new world it is not the one he was hoping for. Trapped withing the world of Awakening along with a few Hoshidans and Nohrians Naruto joins Chrom, Robbin, and Lucina in their quest while looking for a way to return himself and those caught up with him back to the world of Fates.
Just to note I am planing for this to be split into two stories. The first with focus on the story-line of Awakening while the second will focus on Fates. Also, like in my other stories I will be making this one into a harem story (Probably). That said it'll probably be a smaller harem then the other stories. As it stands I only have two, maybe three girls planned for the harem. It's possible that that number will grow as I write the story so feel free to leave suggestions and I'll think them over. Just keep in mind that I don't want Naruto to be the father of any of Awakening's child units and that the selection from Fates will be sparse in the first story.
With that out of the way I hope you all enjoy the story.

"I don't like this" a young woman with icy blue hair pulled into two think pigtails while leaving enough to frame her face spoke with a worried look on her face. "We've already retrieved the blossom, it'd be best for us to return before anything can go wrong" the woman said to her two companion, who like her hid everything from the neck down under off-white cloaks.
She was named Flora, one of Nohr's second prince's personal servants, and her worries were well founded as she followed her liege through the semi-crowded street. To start with her concerns was the fact that the prince had even left the fortress in the first place. While the other royals had long given up on trying to keep the young man confined in his fortress that in no way meant that they wouldn't be punished upon their return, especially given where the prince had lead them this time. In his quest to find a way to see his old home world the blond prince had traveled to Hoshido in pursuit of a powerful artifact, even coming within half-a-day's journey of the Hosidan capital, Shirasagi. It had been many years since the blond had lived in Hoshido and the name he went by was different from his birth name so it was unlikely that he'd be recognized by any random passerby, but Flora couldn't help her nervousness in this situation despite her best efforts in hiding it behind her usually calm expression.
"If you're so worried then why don't you run off to get the others? Safety in numbers and all that" a man half-a-head taller than the prince, not including the fluffy ears poking out from his burnt orange hair, told the woman in an off-handed tone without even bothering to look back at her. The man was named Kurama and in their past lives he and Naruto had been bound to one another against their wills. When the blond had met his untimely end and had his soul launched into this new world Kurama had suffered the same fate as a result of the connection they had, being reborn among the Hoshidan's Kitsune clan. Though fate had a funny way of working as a few years back he and Naruto had crossed paths once more. They originally wanted nothing to do with the other but one thing led to another and now Kurama found himself tagging along with the prince where ever he went.
"That would defeat the purpose of splitting up in the first place" Flora retorted as she stared at the back of Kurama's head. "We'd draw too much attention if we walked in one large group" the maid reminded the fox.
"Then just be quiet, we'll be out of here and on our way ba-What are you doing?" Kurama was saying as the walked along only to stop and jerk his head to the side with a light glare in response to Naruto stopping.
"What do you think that building's used for?" Naruto asked as he stared into the distance, his red eyes narrowing a bit due to the sun hanging over the large building. Its beautifully crafted walls stood tall over the neighboring buildings with its roof consisting of a half dome while leaving the rest open to the elements.
"Oh, that building over yonder? That there is the Yoake opera house. build nearly twenty years ago it was" a stall owner answered for the blond after he'd leaned over the wooden counter to get a better look at what the man was fascinated with.
"Opera house?" Naruto questioned as he turned at the hip to look at the man. It was obvious from the stall owner's grin that his curiosity in the opera house was normal. Guess he came off as a typical tourist as the moment.
"Yep! Queen Ikoma loved the grand opera house in Nestra so much that the King had this one build for her. It's said that she came to this town frequently to enjoy its splendor" the man told the boy. Leaning a tad bit closer to Naruto the man added, "It's still visited quite often by the Hoshidan royalty. One of them even performs from time to time, and wouldn't you know it she'll be performing there today! Aren't you the lucky one!". As the man finished what he had to say his right hand cam up to pat the blond's back with audible thuds.
As the man's hand was coming down for a sixth pat both he and the prince were taken aback when Flora came over to the blond, wrapped her arms around Naruto's left arm, and began to hurriedly pull him away with a serious look on her face.
"Now what?" Kurama asked, mostly to himself, as he and the stall owner looked on in slight bemusement.
With a playful snort the man straightened back up. "Ah, to be young again" the man retorted with a wishful smile on his face. Though for Kurama the idea of Naruto finding a lover sent a chill down his spine.
'It's bad enough dealing with one of him. No way in hell am I going to put up with lot of little Narutos' the kitsune thought to himself with a slight grimace as he took off after the two.
Meanwhile Flora was doing her best to lead her lord out of the city, her eyes dating back and forth on the look out for anything that might hinder her. Unfortunately it was her liege that would prove to be her biggest hurdle.
Planting his feet firmly on the group Naruto was quick to stop Flora from dragging him around. She may be an excellent maid but she could do very little to overpower the blond when it came to physical strength. "What's the rush?" Naruto asked the woman who turned her head half-way to look at him out of the corner of her eye.
"You heard what that man said did you not? We can not stay here any longer" Flora told the young man. Her liege could be troublesome at times but even he had to understand the severity of the situation. Tensions between Nohr and Hoshido have only been rising in recent years. Surely that alone would be reason enough to make him understand.
"But aren't you the least bit curious" Naruto asked in kind. The moment the words left his mouth Flora knew what he was planning.
"Absolutely not!" the maid snapped at the blond with a loud voice as she turned to fully face the blond while still holding onto his arm. Speaking to her lord in such a manor was unbecoming of her, especially in the middle of a busy street, but now was not a time for pleasantries. If Garon found out that she allowed the prince to go near the Hoshidan royal family then she... her clan would be... "Forgive me Lord Naruto but you must not go to the opera house" Flora said to the prince in a hushed tone as on-lookers started to go back to what they were doing, her hands tightening around his arms a little more as her grey eyes drifted down to the ground between them.
"Flora..." the Nohrian prince spoke as his free hand cam up to gently lift up the maid's chin. "No one will know who we are. We can just blend into the crowd, sit through one song, and then leave without anything to worry about" Naruto told the woman as she stared into her conflicted eyes. "I promise, nothing bad will happen" the prince added with a reassuring smile after a moment of silence between the two.
Gently biting her lower lip as her eyes drifted over to the side Flora knew this was a horrible idea, but there was only so much she could argue without saying something she shouldn't. Looking back at her prince Flora's expression softened in defeat as she let go of his arm. Bringing her hands up and around the blond's neck the woman grabbed the hood laying limply on his shoulders and lifted it up and over his head. "Don't allow anyone to see your face" the young woman instructed as her hands moved to her own hood.
"Right!" Naruto told her with a quick nod and a small grin.
Just as the stall owner had said the opera house was packed by the time Naruto and Flora had arrived. Had the two of them taken any longer they may not have been enough seats for them, a fact that hit Flora hard. Perhaps if she had been able to delay the prince then he'd have be forced to give up at the entrance. Hoshidan solders stood at the ready here and there with others stationed out of sight no doubt. Given who would be present it really was no surprise to see soldiers on guard.
Above the normal stands and off in the distance from where Naruto and Flora were taking their seats Naruto spotted one of the people whom he'd been on the look out for, or at least he assumed she was one of the Hoshidan royals. She could easily be described as beautiful with long black hair kept in a ponytail by the golden sun tiara she wore, bangs that swept from the right side of her forehead to the left, and chest length strands left to frame her face. Her white outfit was made from cloth worthy of envy with a rather high collar died blue on the inside, arm length cloves, and other finesses such as shoulder guards and a golden flower on her chest.
Around her was a handful of guards though the most noteworthy of them were the two women standing one either side of her.
The first was had quite the figure and didn't seem to care about showing it as her attire only really covered her chest and legs, with her shoulders, midriff, and a noticeable amount of cleavage on full display. Her hair was a nice shade of violet with a good portion kept into a duel bun by a large ornate comb.
The other didn't have quite the same womanly figure as her companion but it hardly affected her appearance. She had dark blue, slightly curled hair kept into a ponytail tail that hung over her right shoulder. Even from this distance Naruto could see that she sported quite the scar on her face, being a large, thin X between her eyes. Going off of her outfit Naruto would guess that she was a kinshi knight.
"That would be Queen Mikoto" Naruto heard Flora's voice, jerking his attention away from the woman. Apparently he'd been staring as the woman had easily spotted what had caught has attention.
"So that's the queen huh" Naruto commented under his breath as he looked back up at the viewing box. There was this odd feeling he had looking at her but he hadn't the time to think too deeply about that as the audience's chattering died down and the curtains were pulled open. Walking to the center of the stage was a sight that had Naruto's checks flush pin for a moment.
Once more beautiful would be the perfect way to describe this woman. Her hair was reminiscent of Flora's with its light blue color though it was much, much longer than the maid's, easily reaching down to her knees. Two portions of her flowing hair were kept in cylindrical hair clips half-way down while a strand curved down and between her golden eyes before rejoining the rest of her hair behind her. She wore fingerless white gloves that covered her arms completely with a blue and gold embroidered design on the portion covering her shoulders. Her white dress stretched down to her ankles and ending with frills while a slit went up her left side, ending just above her hips and showing off her bare left leg and white clad right leg. Cris-crossing over her torso was a blue ribbon of sorts going up from her waist to under the white cloth she wore around her neck. She didn't have much in terms of jewelry save for the pendant that hung down past her chest.
"And... she is...?" Naruto asked.
"Princess Azura" Flora told him as the song started. Hopefully he'd be satisfied with just knowing her name. If she had to explain anything more then it'd only lead to unwanted questions. Fortunately for Flora, Azura's singing and fluid movements kept Naruto's mind busy. Though for as soothing as the song was it would seem that neither of them could fully relax. Something in the atmosphere kept the two cloaked figures on edge. Taking a glance around with a keen eye would have one spot a large portion on the guards becoming more and more nervous as the Hoshidan princess sung.
"My Lord..." Flora whispered as she scooted a little closer to her prince, her hand moving under her cloak to hover over her hidden knifes.
"Yeah... I know..." the blond responded as he palmed the handle of the sword kept under his cloak. "Something's not right" Naruto said in a hushed tone. It wasn't clear how they should react. No one was suppose to know that they were here so the next logical conclusion to make was that this had to do with the Hoshidan royalty present. Leaving might draw unwanted eyes but they might get caught in whatever was about to happen if they stayed where they were.
However, thinking about it would do them no good as before they could come up with a solution the stage was stormed by several men pulling daggers from their sleeves. Azura's song quickly came to an end as several guardsmen from backstage came out to her aide and the crowd became an uproar of terrified screams.
Without a second thought Naruto was out of his seat and running down to the stage with his blade ready to rend flesh. It didn't matter if he had to keep his face hidden, he couldn't just sit back and do nothing.
