Naruto:Legend of the Armor Ninja
Chapter 1
Donning The Armor
An:Here is another one of my preferred fic for writing a crossover, this one is a fusion of a Naruto and the Ronin warriors show. Now before we get into things this is not a true crossover, I am just taking a few parts of the Ronin warriors universe and tweaking them to fit into the Narutoverse. This story is partially inspired by the Fanfiction Armor of the Ninja Mage written by DragonMasterFlex, but enough of that remember that the graduation age is 16 and now on with the story.

"WAAAAAHHHH!"
The scream cut through the forest fallowed by a crash and hoarse roar that reverberated off the trees.
Coming to the scene we find a massive bear that stands at least 10 feet tall covered by coarse brown fur chasing a human male wearing of all colors orange. The boy that the bear was chasing looked to be around 15 to 16 years of age that had an above average build, the teen stood at average height of 5'7. the boy's hair was a spiky mess of blond that was short, his eye's were two pools of cerulean blue but his most unusual feature was three marks on each cheek that resembled whiskers. The blond wears a orange jumpsuit with black shoulders patches on his feet are a pair of blue sandals, this person is Naruto Uzumaki the Kyubi Jinchuriki and the most hated person in the village tho that Anko lady comes a close second.
Until recently he didn't understand why people hated him but he found out a few days ago the reason, they hated him for holding the Kyubi. He had found out that the held the fox when Mizuki had tricked him into stealing the Forbidden scroll and nearly killing Iruka-sensei, tho he had gotten him back by a mass ass whooping by Kage Bunshin(Shadow clones) and he was till in the intensive care unit in full body cast, and had developed a severe fear of the color orange.
Ah well enough on that now you are probably wondering why he is running from a bear in the woods well that is not his fault... well not entirely his fault. The reason for his being here is that he was dared to by a classmate Kiba Inuzuka, he wasn't going to it but Kiba had started to goading him so he let his pride and gut override his brains apparently that happened pretty often.
So went into the training ground 44 thinking how dangerous could a forest be, well the answer came about 5 minutes later when the bear saw him apparently it was very dangerous. And this where found our young hero screaming his head off and running for his life.
As the teen dodged a swipe from the bear he couldn't help but think ' Man if I survive this I am going to kill Kiba!', Naruto had been running from the pissed animal for the last ten minutes he didn't know how much longer he would be able to hold on.
Naruto had been lucky so far with only getting a few scratches but that luck had just run out, the bear arm blurred forward striking Naruto in the shoulder with the back of it's paw sending him flying.
While in flight Naruto actually felt his shoulder pop out of it's socket, the blonds flight ended over ten feet away from the bear. As soon as he hit the ground the forest floor under him glowed a pale blue for a split second before it vanished beneath him.
"AAAHH!"
Screamed Naruto as he fell down the hole until a few seconds later he impacted the floor right on his separated shoulder popping right back into place. "ARGH!" and it fucking hurt, the container of the Kyubi rolled on to his back clutching his right shoulder.
After a couple of minutes Naruto stood up wincing at the fading bruises and cuts thankful for his fast healing, the teen looked around the place where he was.
What he saw shocked him to say the least, he was standing in the center of a cave but this was no ordinary cave. The teen noticed that the walls were smooth meaning that the cave was not natural but man made, the next thing Naruto saw was as soon he stood up several torches light up around for what he saw next amazed him.
Sitting around the circular room against the walls were five armors, each one was seated on a simple throne made of stone sculpted out of the rock around it. Each armor was different from the other in design and color but they shared a look much like the armor worn by the samurai of Tetsu no kuni.
Above each of the armors was a kanji along with another on the throne itself,
The Red armor had the kanji for Rekka(Wildfire) above it and one for Jin(Rightness) on the front.
The Green had kanji for Korin(Halo) and Chi(Wisdom).
The light Blue had Suiko(Torrent) and Shin(Virtue).
The darker Blue had Tenku(Heavens) and Inochi(Life).
The Brown had Kongou(Hardrock) and Gi(Justice).
Naruto was amazed about the condition of the armor were in it was as if they were just made and polished, even Naruto with his near non existent knowledge of armor could tell that the ones surrounding him were master works.
While Naruto had broken off looking at the armors to search for an exit he missed each of the armors eye's lighting up white, he went on oblivious to this until the armors themselves started to glow.
Spinning around Naruto looked at the incandescent armors started to walk backwards into the wall with his back pressed up against it. The armors glow increased until the five suits broke into thousands of small balls of light that flew right Naruto, the Uzumaki only had time to throw up his right forearm in defense. As soon as the lights touch the boy's arm his sleeve disintegrates up past his elbow in brief flash all the light vanish.
Naruto blinks rapidly to clear his vision hen he felt tingle running down his arm, when the teen looked at his arm he nearly yelled out when he saw them. On his arm running down on top of his forearm were five of the kanji that were above the stone seats.
Sighing Naruto shook his head at all weird stuff that happens to him, as the blond teen grumbled his ears perked up at the sound of stone being scraped against stone. Turning towards the sound Naruto saw part of one the walls starting to open up revealing a set of stone stairs leading upward.
Deciding to go with the flow for now the young blond started up the stairs, when he reached the top of the stairs he see's what looks like a trap door.
Opening the door a bit of sun light stream in, popping his head of the he finds himself in a clearing in what he thinks is the same forest as before. Closing the hidden door Naruto attempts to get his bearings straight but before he can do that the blue eyed boy hears a low growl.
" It's not a hungry animal, it's not a hungry animal." Naruto repeats his mantra under his breath.
Turning around Naruto realizes he is right it is not a hungry animal oh no, it's two, a few feet behind is an adult pair of black panthers that are looking at him like he looks at ramen.
Not moving he puts his hands up in a warding gesture " Nice kitties you wouldn't eat me now would you?" Said the blond with nervous tone all he got in answer was snarl " Then again maybe you would.".
With that Naruto took the old stand by ' Run like hell.' plan, with that he tore ass out of there wondering what Kami he had pissed off to deserve this.
In his haste to flee Naruto never noticed the approaching hill until it was too late, so he went head first down the hill tumbling with the panthers taking up the rear.
When he reached the bottom of the hill he flipped on to his back, just as he did that the male panther had just leaped off the hill and was mid way to Naruto.
'Am I going to die.' thought Naruto.
Before the big cat could complete it's jump a shadow nearly three times larger then the panther slammed into the feline sending it flying into a tree at the edge of the clearing.
While the panther was shaking off the blow Naruto looked at what tackled the panther, the blur turned out to be a large white tiger with black stripes. The cat easily stood over 47 inches at his shoulder, it's tail flicked back and forth in agitation. The feline was large but Naruto could tell that massive animal was still a juvenile of it's species and that it was only going to get bigger.
The tiger gazed at the two smaller felines before he let loose a roar "ROOAH!" the challenge nearly shook the surrounding area, the black furred cats lowered their heads and skulked away from the clearing.
The white tiger turned towards the blond Ninja, Naruto closed his eyes hoping that he wasn't on the menu. The next thing that Naruto knew he felt a rough and warm object on his face, he opened his eye's to see the tiger licking him.
" Hey quit it … come on … stop it tickles." says Naruto while laughing pushing the cat away.
Once the cat stops but is still only a good six inches from him " Your not a mean tiger are you?" in response the tiger shakes it's head.
Raising his eyebrow at this Naruto asks " You can understand me can't you?" this time he gets a nod.
Looking surprised that he found an animal out side a Inuzuka dog that can understand a person he reaches up and starts scratching him behind his ears "Your smart guy huh." as soon as he does this the tiger starts to make a deep rumbling purr.
Getting up Naruto brushes the dirt off his pants looking at the canopy up above " Lets see it's around 2'o clock in the afternoon that means that way is west." he points towards the area where the sun was moving " Then that means that way is east which is shortest way out of here.".
He looks at the tiger " Thanks for the help buddy!" as he starts to walk away but something pushes into him nearly knocking the teen over, Naruto looks to see the tiger had butted his head into his side.
The striped feline looked up at him with an amber gaze that held far more intelligence then a normal tiger would have.
Putting his arms behind his head Naruto stared at the animal " You wanna come with me don't yea?" the tiger nodded giving him the kitten look. Naruto smirked but decided to put on show " Weeell I always did want a pet so I guess that's a yes huh." before he could react the white and black striped tiger jumped up on him with his paws on his shoulders licking the whiskered teen.
" Hehe stop hehe okay stop." unfortunately the two lost their balance with the tiger falling forward on to him.
After getting the 300+pound tiger off him Naruto thought of something " Humm guess if your coming with me that means you will have to have a name huh?".
Rubbing his chin Naruto looked deep in thought until he opened one eye and said " How about Shiro?" the feline shook his head.
"Byakua?" another no.
"Tora?" instead of a shake he got a deadpanned stare " Right too literal."
" Errr oh I know your white and you have inner fire so how about Byakuen(White Blaze)?" the tiger looked thoughtful about the name until he finally gave a nod.
"Alright then Byakuen lets get out here before something tries to eat me again.".
20 minutes later the two had finally gotten out of the forest without any further trouble.
Naruto was walking with his hands behind his head with Byakuen at his side, before they could move more then 20 feet from the forest's edge the two heard a slight creak from behind them.
Spinning around with Naruto falling into a rough Taijutsu form while Byakuen bared his teeth. Standing on a tree branch at the training ground was ANBU wearing the Kuma(Bear) mask.
Immediately dropping his stance Naruto tried to make himself as small as possible " Guess this means were gonna go to Jiji's?" all he got was stare form the masked Shinobi.
Hiruzen Sarutobi sat at his desk grumbling about the amount of paper work that had piled up on his desk until his intercom had buzzed.
"Sir there is an ANBU here to see you should I send him in?" asked his secretary.
Pushing the button on the machine to respond " What is it about?".
" The Uzumaki sir." as her curt reply in an annoyed tone.
" Let them in then.".
The door opened up to show the ANBU Kuma and right next him was Naruto in a ripped and torn jump suit with a large white tiger sitting on it's haunches next to him.
" Now Jiji there is a good explanation for this and it isn't my fault." that caused Sarutobi to groan when ever Naruto used that line it meant trouble, he wished he hadn't stopped drinking right about now.
Several minutes later Naruto with Byakuen and the Hokage were sitting down at the Old man's desk, the reason that this had taken minutes was because a Chunin had come an screamed like a little girl at sight of the tiger.
Sarutobi drew deeply from his lit pipe hoping that the tobacco would bring him at least measure of calm " Okay Naruto can you please explain why one of the ANBU caught you exiting the forest of death with your -" waving his hand towards Byakuen trying to find the right word " Friend.".
Smiling Naruto spoke in upbeat tone trying to put a positive spin it as possible " Well it all started earlier today Jiji when I ran into Kiba, one thing lead to another we started ragging on each other then Kiba gets the bright idea to dare me to go into this training ground 44. I kinda let my pride get to me since he started egging me on, but not to good idea in hindsight cause I almost got eaten twice. The first time was by freaking bear which I lost then two panthers which Byakuen kicked their asses." to accentuate this statement Naruto punched the air with the large cat nodding sagely about his part.
The third Fire Shadow resisted the urge to bang his head on the desk " Naruto that was one the most" sputtered the monkey summoner until his brain picked up a fact " Naruto you said that there was a bear chasing you how did you get away?" the elder man knew the bears that lived in the forest were persistent and wouldn't give up easily.
That stopped Naruto's rant on stupid panthers "Eh oh that well he just chased me a bit and on a lucky shot he clipped me knocking me in to a hole but that's where it got really weird, down in the hole was a cave with five different colored samurai armors." he then held up his right forearm, Hiruzen looked at limb which held five different colored tattoos for the prime elements " When I was trying to find a way out of there the freakin things started glowing then they broke up into million little lights and when I could see again the armors were gone and I had the tattoos on my arm." Naruto said as he recounted his adventure in the cave.
As Naruto continued his story raised his eye brow at the mention of the armors, there was something about the armors that tugged at the back of his mind. Shaking his head to cast aside those thoughts until later the elderly Hokage looked at the two in front of him, at the boy who had become like a grandson to him. Part of him wanted to hate the boy for what happened to his wife but just couldn't do that the boy was innocent, and the fact if he did Biwako would mostly likely smack him up side the head from beyond the grave for being an idiot.
Sighing Sarutobi went on to the second problem " We can deal with that later Naruto first we have to decide what to do about your friend." Said the older man while looking at the large white tiger.
"Eh? What are yea saying Jiji?" asked Naruto sounding confused.
" Hm well it might not be a good idea to have a dangerous animal such as him around." stated the elder man.
At that Naruto jumped out of the chair nearly knocking it over as he stood to defend his new found friend " Dangerous Jiji! He saved me plus he's my friend and he can help out on missions, he's also he really smart probably smarter then any old Inuzuka dog." ranted the blond " So can he stay please Jiji?" said Naruto as he gave him the puppy dog eye's along with the tiger giving the kitty eye's.
While trying not look them in the eye as he thought about it, Byakuen didn't seem too dangerous and he did seem to have a higher level of intelligence than a normal animal.
Finally relenting Sarutobi said " Fine he can stay." he was cut off from the rest of his speech by the two celebrating " But there are a few things that have to be settled first." Sarutobi said getting their attention.
" First is that you are still in trouble for sneaking into the forest of death and so is Kiba so we will have to go and speak with him and his mother." this caused Naruto gulp.
" Next is that Byakuen must be checked out by a veterinarian to see if he is healthy or has a sickness luckily we can do both while at the Inuzuka compound." his tone chipper as he saw the two partners slouch in defeat.
20 minutes later the the trio arrived at the Inuzuka compound, the compound isn't any thing really special with several house's of differing size and a large kennel of to one side. Standing outside of the house in the center was woman in her mid-30's that stood around 5'4 with messy brown hair, like all Inuzuka she had twin red fang-like markings under her eyes along with slit pupil's. She was wearing a standard Jonin out fit with flack jacket that showed off her toned body, this is Tsume Inuzuka the clan head of the Inuzuka, to her right was a large black and white wolf-dog that was missing his left ear while wearing an eye patch over his right eye this is Kuromaru the Ninken partner to Tsume.
" Hello Hokage-sama the message you sent said that you had something to discuss that my son had a hand in?" said the Jonin kunochi as she gave a hard look at the person standing on her left who seemed to very nervous.
This person was none other than Kiba Inuzuka the son of Tsume and the closest person that Naruto had to a friend. Like his mother Kiba had red clan marking on his face and wild brown hair, he wears a pair of black pants with black sandal's, on his upper body he had gray undershirt with a black leather long sleeved jacket. Kiba stands three inches taller than his mother at the height as Naruto's 5'7. Next to Kiba is his Ninken Akamaru who is white with brown ears the dog is large standing at the shoulder was 40 inches.
As the adults talked Kiba and his partner slid their way over to Naruto and the big tiger that was with, seeing that the brown haired boy shrugged at this didn't matter. When he was next to Naruto he whispered to the blond " What the hell Naruto why the fuck did ya have to go and squeal on me for?".
Returning the whisper but with a harsher tone " I didn't squeal I got caught on the way out and no way in hell am I going to take the whole blame for this plus I owe you an asskicking!" said Naruto as the two's head drew closer to talk unnoticed.
" What for?"
"Because I almost got eaten twice cause that stupid dare."
As the two boys were talking they didn't notice a person walk up behind them until said reached up grabbed the sides of the their heads only to slam them together hard enough to make an audible sound.
*Bamm*
"Fucker!"
"Son of a bitch!"
Both teens spun around to face the person who did that and give them piece of their minds only to stop in their tracks, behind them was Tsume who looked pissed beyond belief.
"You morons!"
*Wham*
Tsume punched both of them right on the bumps made from her slamming their heads together " Do either of you have any idea what could have happened!" yelled the irate matriarch of the Inuzuka.
Not receiving an answer Tsume went on " Kiba! If he had gotten hurt or worse you could have been brought up on charges for endangering or killing a fellow Konoha Shinobi which would have meant you being thrown in jail and having your Shinobi license being pulled!" as he was being berated by his mother Kiba just couldn't look her in the eye's, he knew she was right and didn't even want to think about that he could have cause his friends death.
After sufficiently chastising her son the furious women rounded on the blond " And you, you could have been crippled or killed just because of some pride is that worth it!" like Kiba Naruto was unable to meet her eye's, while staring at his feet Naruto wondered why she cared if he lived or died not many did.
When she was about to continue Tsume felt a hand on her shoulder, looking over at the Hokage shaking his head " I think that's enough Tsume-san why don't you let me talk with them while you take this time to calm down." even tho she grumbled about the Kunochi knew that it was a good idea to calm since being angry wouldn't help anybody.
Turning back the two newly graduated teens the Hokage adopted a serious face " Now that you know how badly this could have gone I believe it's time for your punishment." the two swallowed audibly at this knowing how creative the man could be in his punishments " Normally I would have you both do 15 D-rank missions with out pay but that is unfair to Naruto since that would now negate his income so instead you both will be for the next two weeks be serving as the personal assistants to Anko Mitarashi on your off hours." the old man let a vicious grin appear on his face.
Both boys felt a chill run up their spines at the name while Naruto could swear he had heard that name some where before.
30 minutes later
Hana Inuzuka reflected on the odd events that had happened over the last half hour, she had been working in the veterinary clinic like a normal day until the door had opened around mid afternoon to reveal her mother the Hokage in his robes and one other person. The Hokage had asked her to examine a newly acquired animal of the young man that had entered with him, to her surprise it a large white tiger.
Hana was quite unlike the rest of her clan even her mother and brother, where the other members had wild hair she had straight hair that was normally drawn up into a ponytail. She also had a calmer personality then most clan members, the 19 year old vet stretched out over the back of her chair which had her beige medic coat on it. She was wearing a pair of tight black pants along with blue sandals and a black tee-shirt that showed off her toned and developed body as she looked over the results of the tests for the tiger Byakuen.
Standing up Hana headed to the waiting room that the owner of the animal was in.
Walking up to him she tapped him on the shoulder making him turn around, Hana would have to admit the younger teen was some what cute tho it would help if he wasn't wearing a torn up orange jumpsuit. Getting serious the vet spoke " Your Naruto the owner of Byakuen right?" the answer that she got was unexpected.
" Well kinda I don't think I own him or something like that he's just my partner but yeah I brought him in is he okay." he didn't want his buddy to be sick.
That made her raise an eyebrow that statement sounded like it would come from someone from her clan rather then a teenager but nothing less "He's fine from what I the tests can tell he's perfectly healthy but we did find something odd.".
"What is it.".
She flipped a page on the clip board " Don't worry it isn't anything bad but it does explain his abnormal intelligence.".
Naruto quirked an eye brow " Yeah I did notice he is pretty smart wait he is a special breed of tiger?" asked the blond thinking that might be the reason.
Hana just shook her head " Not exactly the reason for his increased intelligence is that at least two generations ago Byakuen's family had mated with a summon.".
Naruto blinked at this as he tried to wrap his head around that " A summon like the one of the Sannin's?"asked a confused teen.
Nodding at this Hana went on " Yeah sorta it's not common but it will happen from time to time, in this case a tiger summon mated with a normal tiger to create this. Sometimes the summon will remain in this world just long enough for it happen, the result is like Byakuen the offspring and the descendants of said offspring will normally be bigger, tougher, stronger, smarter and have the ability to use chakra. But don't worry this doesn't have negative affect on the animal." explained the older girl.
Letting a sigh escape from him Naruto was glad that his new friend was fine, after getting Byakuen updated on his shots the two new partners were on their way back to Naruto's apartment.
" Ah come that wasn't so bad was it?" asked Naruto as they walked back to his home, he could almost hear the tiger's grumbling.
While the two friends walked down the street they were given a wide berth as my looked at the massive feline walking with the resident outcast, as the two were heading towards his place Naruto was talking to the large cat about his home.
" Well buddy I think you'll like the place it might not very big or fancy but it's home." Byakuen listened to his friend attentively.
About a block and a half away from his home Naruto picked up the scent of smoke and burning wood coming from the directions of his building, taking off at top speed with Byakuen fallowing him. When Naruto turned the last corner to his apartment only see a sight that crushed him.
There was his apartment building, his home for the last eight years, it held all his possessions, many memories both good and bad. The building was now the middle of a raging inferno, he could see no even attempting to put it out.
Naruto closed his eyes let out a harsh whisper " God Damn it!"
