The Unknown King

So I was looking through the archives and found only a small handful of NarutoxToriko crossovers. one being just an issued crossover challenge.

Note please that this is in fact NOT and answer to that challenge as I am not following several of the things it lists such as the banishment of Naruto from Konoha and owninghis own resturaunt.

This is instead a fic of Naruto in Toriko's world. So expect there to be several differences and OOC actions from Naruto.

No I will not be adding random characters from Narutoverse to Toriko's world so if you're expecting something like Akatsuki members joining the Bishokukai or Sasuke eing a member either. I will only add Hinata in as the official and only pairing and she will be his combo partner and wife. I have plans for this to all make sense.

Kurama and the other tailed beasts are a mosh posh of what I what to do with them. For Kurama I think it's best to simply make him Naruto's gourmet demon similar to Toriko's red ogre thing and such. Hinata will not have a gourmet demon like most cooks but will have her own skills like higher teir cooks do.

Other tailed beasts may appear as wild beasts or not. one or two definitely will but the rest I don't know

For the most part this will be following the normal Manga's storyline and for the most part I will only write chapters that have Naruto added in. Doesn't mean he's not doing his own thing when the focus isn't on him. The manga focuses mostly on Toriko and Komatsu and brings the other heavenly kings in whenever they're needed to capture an ingredient or the story involves them somehow. like how Coco Sunny and Zebura were only really brought in to gain a particular item or their skills were needed. and when they come back they usually have had a shit ton of things done off screen like how Zebura having a a lot of his full cours full all of a sudden

That said this starts right after the gourmet pyramid arc and Zebura is free and death falls arc. so The skills Toriko has at that point will be all that's used until the next point they interact again.

now given the manga's usual style of hopping from one fight or interaction to another I won't be writing all of it but instead will highlight the more important parts like in the Sunny vs Tommyrod fight I willwrite about his hair getting cut up to the point his hair turns golden before breaking away again.

The main thing is that I will mostly only be writing the parts Naruto and/or Hinata are involved in. I feel Hinata would be good friends with Komatsu as fellows chefs and combo partners to heavenly kings .

One last thing to note, any beasts/ingredients I add in that aren't seen in manga/anime are of my creation

I own neither Toriko or Naruto

off we go

Toriko Sighed as he finished his 256th plate in the gourmet hotel, sitting back he sipped at his BrothWine. A delicate acoholic beverage that tasted of several different soup broths. He had been perusing the ingredient list that the IGO president had given him for training and frowned seeing one particular ingredient that even for him would be difficult alone, much like the others on the list. While Zebura had been sort of willing with helping gather the Mellow Cola he doubted he'd be interested in this one, same could be said with Coco as last he heard Coco had been off completing a similar list the President had given them. Sunny was a no go as well despite the chances of his being interested in this particular ingedient. Toriko had a feeling Sunny was in the middle of his own training as well and probably didn't want to be bothered.

" You alright Toriko?"

Toriko looked over at his combo partner Komatsu who was dressed in his normal cooking uniform and pushing a trolley laden with a few dozen more platters. This time much to Komatsu's confusion the majority of them were of several variations of ramen.

Toriko smiled wide seeing the food and waved at Komatsu to sit with him even as he began slurping down the noodles.

"I'm alright Komatsu." He spoke around a mouthful of noodles. "Just worried about this one ingredient I've got to catch. Ever here of 'Gold Ramen' of the gourmet mine?"

Komatsu's eyes grew starry as he held his cheeks in his usual fashion. " The Gold ramen!? The legendary Ramen with Noodles said to be pure gold that float in a silver soup stock! I've only heard stories about how it's savoriness and delicate noodles are second to none! It's been said it's so delicious that anyone who tastes it automatically adds it to their full course menu!"

Toriko set the last empty bowl ack on the cart as he sat back. " Yep and that damn old man gave me just that ingredient on my list. Trouble is the place it's in. The gourmet mines are a place rich in various minerals and resources used by many famous artisans such as sharpener Melk and pot maker Koribou. Several of their creations use the metals mined in those caves. that's only for a certain distance in though. Just like anywhere it's got it's own beasts inside with an average capture level of 55 or so and the caves boss supposedly is a giant monstrous slug with six Tails that spews out a dangerous acid said to be able to melt a thick slab of steel in seconds."

Komatsu's face paled and sweated as it seemed to stretch down in a grimace. " I-I can only imagine what would happen to a human..."

Toriko couldn't help but tease the shaking cook as he said nonchalantly. " Last human that was hit by it apparently was a puddle of slime before said slime was eaten by the slug."

Toriko had to hold back a laught as he saw the dark cloud of despair over Komatsu forming.

Waving his hand for the check Toriko chuckled as he leaned forward to lean on the table. " Don't worry though. Given the ingredient I do have a person in mind to help. it's been awhile but he owes me a favor and I'm sure soon as he hears what the task is he'll agree. Problem is though if it's been long enough to even try contacting him."

Komatsu blinked in cofusion. " What do you mean? Coco, Sunny or even Zebura should be able to help right?"

Toriko shook his head in disagreement. " Last I heard they're all busy or in Zebura's case well... Anyway This guy has more of a stake on it anyway."

Komatsu deadpanned at that. "You just don't want to deal with Zebura again."

Later, Gourmet train~~~

Komatsu watched out the window as they rode along in semi silence. Well, he was silent mostly, you couldn't exactly call the mannerless scarfing of all food within reach that Toriko does silent by any means.

Komatsu turned once a lull had been made between arrivals of food before asking. "Toriko, who is this person we're going to get anyway?"

Toriko wiped his mouth with his napkin before answering. "Well before I tell you, I should start off by saying that there's information about the heavenly kings that only the upper staff of IGO knows. For instance, the fact that there are not only four Heavenly Kings, but there is in fact five."

Komatsu's eyes widened in shock. "F-five?" inside his head he pictured a dark figure standing in a circle with Toriko and the others with a question mark inside.

Toriko nodded sipping his Whiskey. "Yeah, he's been with us since our training days with the prez but refused to be brought into the limelight. He asked us not to mention him as he really didn't care to be treated like we normally do just by association and wanted to build up his own name from scratch."

Komatsu blinked as the figure from before had his head bowed slightly. " Wow, he sounds humble. Kind of like Coco in a way. but surely he wouldn't be getting praise just by association would he?"

Toriko snorted at the comparison to Coco before shrugging. "Well the rest of us actually had a small head start in our careers when the president reccomended us to several clients and news about us began to spread quickly from our connections to that geezer. But he decided he wanted to start like a normal Bishokuya (forgive for spelling) and went on his own path. Last I talked with the prez I was told he got his own ingredient list to capture but there's no telling if he actually di any of it. After all, he's still on his honeymoon."

Komatsu blinked surprised. "H-honeymoon? He's married?"

Toriko nodded as more platters were brought to their dining cart. "Yeah, in fact the wedding was just before you first came to hire me to capture the Galala Crocodile. He had invited everyone over but Zebura couldn't of course given he'd been imprisoned already by then."

Komatsu's little mental image now had a dark feminine figure standing beside the first figure. "W-wow. So what's he like? of the others you all have rather... personalities so what's he like?"

Toriko gave an annoyed look at him. "Oi oi, don't try to hide you said ... about us now. Anyway if I had to say... well I guess if you took traits from all of us you'd get a better picture of it. My 'gluttony', Coco's 'gentleman', Sunny's 'brashness', well... brashness towards disgustin' things. His brashness covers more than just ugly things. And to top it off he has Zebura's 'love of battle'. That's basically how I'd sum it up."

Komatsu's figure somehow had Sunny's affronted face, a tuxedo on it's body, Zebura's arms ready to strangle something, and a large belly to show Toriko's food intake.

The two felt the train stopping and Komatsu looked outside and gasped. " G-gourmet love town?"

Gourmet Love town had been a popular area for honeymooners to travel as every part of the city was centered around dishes meant for lovers and newly married couples, along with several attractions and various entertainments plazas to cater to the various tastes of the arriving married couples or soon to be married lovers.

Toriko pulled the young chef from the window and out of the station before the train left with Komatsu still on it. " Yep, this is where last intel said the two were. I visited once before but vowed to never return unless I had to or got married myself."

Komatsu had a questioning look on his face.

Toriko explained. " All the food here is 'specially cooked and eaten food' that only a couple in love can eat. If a person alone tries it the food turns plain and loses all taste. And in certain cases like say a loveless marraige..."

A loud slap interrupted their conversation as they were pushed aside by a bawling woman followed quickly after by a man with a large red hand mark on his face screaming out apologies. Toriko looked at the direction they came before pointing to a table. "Well in those cases that happens."

Komatsu looked and grimaced hearing the voices of the ingredients as he saw on a plate a pile of rotten unrecognizable food. From all he got from the voices he got a sense they were saying something along the lines of 'unworthy' and 'liar'. "It rots?!"

Toriko nodded. "Yep, that's why couples try to come here often as it's a test to see if they're really in love or not. I'm told that the more in love a couple is the more delicious the food is. If the couple stays together after coming here they usually lead happy lives. If not well..."

another pointing of a finger showed the man and woman from before arguing in front of a legal department whose sign declared they handled divorce papers exclusively.

Toriko sniffed the air as they walked around before his nose finally caught it. "This way Komatsu! I recognise that ramen stench anywhere!"

The combo rushed to a large pavilion where dozens of couples were dancing to a slow waltz. The smell of various delicious meals were also being pumped into the pavilion to keep the appetites of the dancers from going away just yet.

Toriko nudged Komatsu before pointing at one couple in the center of the pavilion. As Komatsu looked Toriko bellowed out startling the dancers with his loud voice. "I found you!"

Komatsu was able to get a god look now as the dancers parted aside a little. The couple that Toriko had pointed to consisted of a man with wild blond hair similar in style to Coco's own with amazingly bright blue eyes with a healthy tan skin. The most distinctive part of the man was the six whisker mark on his cheeks giving him a fox like appearance. Along with a woman with midnight blue hair, a heart shaped face, and lavedner white eyes that gave the distinct impression she was blind.

Toriko could only smirk seeing he had their attention. "Mister and missus Uzumaki!"

So that's the first chapter for my new fic. What do you think? Please leave a comment. Flames will be put out via Terry's piss and vinegar of my blood.

For fans of my other story King of Beasts, rejoice! I will add another chapter this coming weekend!
