Hello everyone this is Evilcassie01 here again churning out another story. As all of you know I haven't really updated my story in a while and just so you guys know I am a very sporadic writer some updates will be small and others will be big and updates will come randomly. Not informing you of this is MY BAD so there you've been told. Also could anyone please give me the links to some good English to Japanese translation sites it would be appreciated.
Anyway this is a mainly Naruto story with a slight crossover with Princess Mononoke an absolutely awesome movie if you haven't seen it go watch it. In this naruto will be powerful as he will be in all my stories in some form or another also he will have no Kyuubi sealed in him, but don't worry it will make an appearance. Now I'll need your help due to the fact I don't know whether to make the Kyuubi male or female this will be up to you but this doesn't mean it will be in the pairings. Poll closes for chapter 3.
"speech"
'thought'
"powerful spirit, demon, summon speech"
'powerful spirit, demon, summon thought'
Now then I don't own Naruto or Princess Mononoke if I did I seriously wouldn't be writing fanfiction now would I.
CHAPTER 1
The great forests outside of Konoha were know for there lushness life as well as for the fact that the Shodiame Hokage grew them using his Mokuton (wood release) techniques in conjunction with his brothers mastery of the water element. Another thing that the forests of Konoha and Hi no kuni (Fire Country) were known for were the Kodama, small tree spirits that were said to be good luck as well as a sign that the forests were healthy if in a large number. It was said that if you ventured deep into the forests that could could hear them as if it were raining.
There was a myth that surrounded the forest that in the deepest depths of the forest, were the oldest tree resides on a small island the Shishigami (Forest Spirit) resided. He was said to be both the giver of life and the taker of life. During the day the Shishigami resembles a great stag with many antlers, bird like feet, and the face of a baboon. At sunset Shishigami becomes Daidarabocchi (nightwalker), A huge God in a humanoid form that appears to be made out of stars with a long, pointed face and tentacles-like spikes on the back. Only the Hokages were to ever know the way to the grove of the Shishigami and it was widely believed the Shodiame got his Mokuton abilities from the Shishigami for his help in defending its grove.
This is how we find the Sandiame Hokage Sarutobi Sasuke as he navigated his way to the grove. He always found it so peaceful there, the air was always clearer and the stars would shine so brightly in the grove. It's waters fresh and its food bountiful it was were he came so just relax and be normal to let his hair down as his student used to say. It was also here that he came for the council of the Shishigami who seemed to be as old as time yet still held his youth, Sarutobi always found him paradoxical in nature.
As dawn broke and the sun set the sky aflame Kodama of all shapes and size came to sing as in greeting to the forest spirit returning to his home. From were the moon shone still Sarutobi could make out the form of the Daidarabocchi as he almost glided back to the opening above the grove. As he descended a great gale settled over the area as each platform of leaves spiralling up the great tree seem to shake as some invisible force stepped upon them to reach the ground. Sarutobi stood in front of the tree as a human shape began to materialise in front of him. As the figure became more corporeal Sasuke decided to have a look at the man know as the Shishigami.
His clothes consisted of midnight blue pants that most shinobi wore although they lacked the various hidden pockets that others had, on them were small white stars that seemed to have an inner glow, on his feet were a pair of wooden zori with a single stilt like base (1). He also wore a deep red hakama top with the front open to show the six-pack he had (think Sasukes from shippuden only a deep red colour) he had an earring on his right ear that resembled a root curled into a circle with a small deep purple and green crystal set into the centre. In his hand was a simple wooden cane with a silver cap on the top also inlaid with curled up root with a crystal in the centre. He had a pipe in his mouth much like Sarutobi and his hair was a golden blonde set into several braids each with a small bit of wood curled around the tips of his hair for each braid. His features were regal as though a descendant of kings and his smile could woo women from teenagers to one foot into the grave. His eyes were a stunning sky blue irises with green on the outer edge that were filled with warm and unfathomable wisdom.
"Aaahh Saru-san if I knew you were coming I would've cleaned up" The forest spirits voice was a deep baritone full of mirth. It was times like this that Sasuke cherished no "yes Hokage-sama" or "yes Sarutobi-sama" it was always informal with Naruto and he thanked him for that. "Maa maa Naruto-kun I just need a break from the paperwork and to relax" Sarutobi reasoned with the man, Naruto just chuckled as said "what is that all I'm good for, just a guy who put you up for a week to get away from the stress, Saru I thought I was more than that." at Sarutobi's embarrassed look Naruto stern face cracked and he howled with laughter "oh god..laugh..your..cough..face hahahahaha..ooo Saru I haven't laughed that hard since you told me of the time you saw the beating Tsunade gave Jiriaya for groping her" with that he cracked up again from the memory while Sasuke just shook his head at the seemingly childish man. No matter how many times they met he never got used to Naruto's personality.
After he calmed down Naruto asked "Oi Saru when are you gonna bring them students of yours with you like you promised it gets lonely here and I ain't got some in an age SO I've decided to come back with you to the village." with that Sasuke choked on his pipe "Na-Naruto your not supposed to leave the forest who will pro"
"I've got that covered I'll pass over protection to the wolf and boar clans besides I haven't stepped foot out of this forest in over 200 years I wanna see what else is out there as well as get laid, you know how long its been since I tapped some eh? 207 years 7 months and 26 days, do you know what that kind of deprivation does to me?" Sarutobi just watched the ranting spirit with a shake of his head whilst all the comments just seemed to wash over him "Ok ok I get it you want sex but can you please drop it if your that desperate we will head off now." as soon as the words left his lips Naruto summoned a large snow white wolf as well as a white four tusked boar "Moro, Okkoto the forest is under your protection while I'm gone do you understand?" both of them bowed and replied "Hai Shishigami-denka"(2) with that he turned on his heel and took a drag on his pipe before exhaling the smoke and smiled at the Hokage "well what are you waiting for Christmas? Lets go Saru" with that Naruto headed off into the forest the way Sarutobi came leaving the aged Hokage with only one thought 'What the hell's Christmas?'
