Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I own nothing , this is purely a fanfic for enjoyment. Cross-over from various games , books, anime, manga, and movies. The familiar characters you see here belongs to their respected authors and owners.

Hello my name is Zed, an eighteen year old collage student and somewhat of an otaku, I have black hair, brown eyes and 5'6 in height. I have a lean build with a bit of fat due to my lazy nature. I am a fan of games especially Rpg, over the years, my love for games took root in fantasy manga and novels. These stories are a world on itself, I even tried my hand at writing

fanfiction. One would assume with my vast knowledge of game resources and fantasy novels that writing a story is easy, I tell you it's not. Writing a story is a new world in itself, stories are fickle and almost the good ideas are already posted out there but nonetheless I feel like writing my stories even if they're not popular. Now enough about little old me, and let's get on with the story.

In a land far far away, where ninja's with supernatural powers reign supreme, there live a nine tailed fox who was destroying a village, the village hidden in the leaves known as Konoha. The desperate leader of the village had to seal this monstrous beast in his newly born male child at the cost of his life to defeat the nine-tailed beast, known as the Kyuubi no Yoko who at the time was being controlled by an orange masked man.

This is the story of Naruto, but this fanfiction isn't about Naruto, but the world in it. This is an alternate universe where Senju Hirashima never married Mito Uzumaki and the nation of Uzu or more commonly known as the hidden village of whirlpool never fell to the united front of hidden villages he'll bent on destroying this village for its village secrets such as sealing techniques and their bloodline.

Unfortunately, the secret of chakra control exercise such as leaf balancing, tree walking and water walking never became widely known and became known as Uzu village secrets. The basic academy 3 techniques was nonexistent in this world and thus, resulting in the invaders being thwarted. The efforts of Kumo, Suna, and Iwa failed miserably, but Konoha remained on neutral stance.

In this world, only the Uzumaki's hold the secret arts of sealing a Biju and to this day, the biju from one tails to eight tails roam the land, while the Kyuubi no Yoko or the nine tailed fox was sealed within Uzumaki Mito and was being prepared to pass it into the fiery red head girl successor known as Uzumaki Kushina. This world is the world I ended up in on a faithful Halloween night, my name is Zed, and this is my story.

It was an eventful day for me, it was Halloween and I dressed as Rokudo Mukuro in the first season with no box weapon of Katekyo Hitman Reborn. I was wearing a sleek jacket, a handmade custom made plastic retractable trident, along with a red contact lens on my right eye and a copy of vongola mist ring. I was also wearing a wig that screams pineapple which is my trademark as it got me more candies and chocolate that night. I really should watch my weight after this evening.

The night went pretty normal that is until when I went home and a portal suddenly appeared right in front of me sucking me inside.

My body was in excruciating pain as I felt my body rearrange themselves and twisting at the strain. After what I felt like an eternity, I was spit at the portal exit. I was sure I was about to die as I saw blood everywhere around me. My small pain endurance finally gave in and so I passed out in what looks like a dirt road.

After what feels like days of being unconcious, I finally managed to wake up. I took in my sorroundings, I was in a bed in a plain room wearing a hospital gown, "Yup, looks like I'm in a hospital or clinic." I thought

"Knock, knock."

"I see your awake kid, you seem pretty out of it, from the reports they found you wearing oversized clothes with a strange design, a retractable triedent and a ring, strange, very strange, at least your not a shinobi, no Self respecting ninja would carry a trident, too bulky, it is probably the reason why you got sent here and not some cell, your too eccentric to be spies from the other hidden villages, thank your lucky stars." explained the doctor.

"Excuse me doctor, ninja?, hidden villages, you sound as if we're in the elemental nations?." I asked confused, my voice sounded different and younger.

"Kid, I'm not going to mince words, someone must have screwed of with your head, yes, we are in the elemental nations, currently you are in the village hidden in the whirlpool." Said the Doctor.

"I see." I took a moment to digest that information.

"Excuse me doctor, do you have a mirror I could borrow?." I asked and he came back later with a small mirror.

"I'll let you rest for now, I'll come back later." Said the doctor as he left.

I examined myself, I look really like Rokudo Mukuro and I'm de-aged from what I can tell, around ten to twelve years old.

"I chuckled at the thought about me turning into a chibi Mukoro, if I really was Mukiro I'd have my right eyes glowing." I thought, and as I went that thought process, I felt a twinge in my right eye and what I saw shocked me, in the mirror I saw my right eye turned to red and hand a kanji for one. This means I had indirectly and acquired the power of my custume, Mukuro's "The Six Paths of Reincarnation (六道輪廻, Rokudō-rinne)."

I fainted at the sight once I saw my right eye change.

Time skip 4 hours

"Urghh." I said as I slowly came to wake up.

I saw the mirror at my hand and I stared at my face at the mirror for ten minutes.

"Knock, Knock."

"I see your awake, my name is Seto Uzumaki, the academy instructor. The Uzukage sent me to inform about your odd case. Test result said that you have a low genin chakra levels which is impressive for a civilian, now normally we don't let outsiders into our village, much less our shinobi program, but we just suffered and are slowly recovering after the war, so we are accepting refugees and making exceptions. Of course you will be compensated if you join and the Uzukage will give you a monthly stipend for spending untill you are a gennin, what do you say... what was your name again?." Asked Seto.

"It's Zed, and yes I would like to join, by the way, Uzumaki-sensei, will we learning jutu's in the academy?." I asked him to which he smiled and responded.

"Unfortunately you will only learn the basics of geography, intelligence gathering and we will teach you how to properly throw kunai and shuriken. We may have accumulated some jutsu scrolls from our enemy but those are only accessible for chunnin rank and above. Most ninja techniques are considered clan secrets you see, so work hard if you want to learn some jutsu's, it's really a good motivator for our shinobi program, I'll send someone to escort you to your new home and boarding house Zed-san since the doctor said you're all healed." Said Seto as he left.

"Hmmm, so no basic academy justsu's?, I must lucky then since I practiced the hand signs for those academy three back home since a Ninja was my back-up costume." I thought.

Since I had nothing better to do, I meditated and tried to access my chakra. It took 1 hour to access it, but it was really worth it. The feeling of chakra is both soothing and at the same time it feels like I'm in a buzz. Then realization hit me, "Omg I have chakra, awesome." I thought

The next day, I was given some new clothes that fit me and I also got back my ring and retracrable trident that were returned. I looked at both items intently as they became real, very real and not just a plastic imitation.

I was given a tour around the village by Seto Uzumaki's helper and we also shopped for groceries and some extra clothes for me. The tour was accomodating and after an hour of the tour, I was sent to my gennin dorm/home.

I couldn't sleep right away, I was so excited, I still have to experiment on my Rokudō-rinne, So I spent all my extra time to master the basics which I successfully did because the techniques are instinctual. I was content with my day and prepared myself a meal then slept.

The next morning I woke up and did my daily routine, my stipend was mailed to me along with my class schedule that's supposed to be two days away which gives me two days to practice. I mostly jogged around the city to increase stamina while sticking leaves on part of my body to increase chakra control which I copied from my memories in the Naruto manga. The people were friendly enough and accommodating. I also practiced Henge, Kawarimi and the clone technique indoors as not to give away my abilities. Sadly Kagebunshin is out of my reach because it's very chakra intensive and I didn't know it's hand signs. Just like that, two days passed by.

Time Skip 1 year.

The year I spent at the Uzu academy was, how do you say it? normal, surprisingly so as I kept my grades average, the class was abnormally energetic as it spawned plenty of Uzumaki children, they posses too much energy. I kept my distance, but a certain Ichigo Uzumaki kept me in the spotlight often than I would have liked. My taijutsu was simply atrocious, but thankfully Ichigo pitied me and taught me the basics of his family style Uzumaki taijutsu with the condition that he supervise my training which was Hell, the kid can sure dish out a training menu that rivals Maito Guy, Uzumaki's sure are scary. Slowly but surely my taijutsu improved, I even studied some seals in their library surprisingly, they weren't so tight lipped about it since mostly Uzumaki genes can comprehend the stuff, Kukuku.., obviously they haven't met me, that thought quickly put my place as it was indeed mostly gibberish, but I was persistent as a bug and I improved much to my shock and the librarian's as I manage to make a personal storage tattoo and a gravity seals which I inscribed in bead form. The gravity seals from my gravity bead was studied from the gravity seals Mito Uzumaki produced which was not as advanced as I would have liked and it was only in the half finished of her product.

The librarian had connections to a seal master who owns a shop and heard of my discovery. It was my ticket to an apprenticeship, even though I was an academy student. My gravity beads were patented earning me a portion of profit, which was a large share as the gravity seals was such a big hit and Uzumaki's equals a training nut.

I gifted Ichigo with a set of gravity beads as a token of friendship and as a thank you as I have gotten pretty good on my Taijutsu and since ninjutsu were rare, everyone and I mean everyone was a Taijutsu adept. Plenty of civilians dropped of the shinobi program and couldn't handle the exercise.

I didn't neglect my other skills and I trained them in secret. Since a couldn't practice tree walking and water walking in the open, I settled for the kunai balancing chakra exercises and chakra string exercise which proved useful and entertaining. It was really fun controlling and lifting shuriken like a telekenisis. It was hard, I can only do 3 shuriken or kunai and throw around and guide it around 10 meters around me. It was certainly better than when I started the plausible theory.

Overall it was a productive year and our graduation test finally came. I passed, sadly, there was no team of gennin with a Jonin, you were on your own and you were freely given freedom in the field. Apprenticeship weren't that common, but the teachers are picky of whom they choose. You were free to take on missions whom you are confident with and groups sometimes form when a Jonin or chunnin forms a cell team for harder missions. It was a pretty laid back type of deal, kind of like a guild type system from the manga 'Fairy Tail'. What about me?, I have an apprenticeship to a seal master. They're pretty respected of their trade and the lifeblood of Uzumaki's, that and their longevity.

Kushina Uzumaki is a jonin of from Uzu, she had just gotten a mission, a bodyguard escort mission in one of their local seal merchants towards Konoha. She was allowed to take up to 3 gennin for her teams.

"I know, my cousin Ichigo and his new wife Aiko would fit the bill." She said as she looked for her favorite cousin.

One would ask how a twelve year old was already having a relationship, the answer is simple, you are already viewed as an adult in society and you are free to elope or have relationship early because ninja careers are short. Ninja's are lucky to die in bed of old age nowadays, these are the current age the elemental nation lives in.

"Ichigo, do you know anyone else competent enough, to be our fourth member of our team?." Asked Kushina.

Again, since missions are given freely, your performance is closely and easily monitored by how much you complete and how many people you impressed and since Uzu is a close community, it was pretty much a guarantee that everyone will know everyone and also because apprenticeships are the on way you learn jutsu so everyone is encouraged to be close, promoting friendship and loyalty towards the village.

"Oh, I know, my sparring buddy Zed is a good candidtate, I heard he landed on a sealmaster's apprenticeship on Zonko's Seal shop, who knew a non Uzumaki would be interested in seals and good at it, It was certainly a shocker to find out when the new gravity beads came out, he was the one who made it based of Mito-sama's half finished version.

"Ahh."

"Well, anyways, let's go get this Zed character so we can get this show on road, hope he is good, don't want to let a new gennin die, at least you guys have experience, from the rumors I heard, your teamwork with Aiko is gaining popularity, chop chop, let's go, were burning daylight." Said Kushina.

And so the group went to find Zed to drag him on this bodyguard escort mission.

To be continued.
