General Information. "Recommended"
I first had this story on another site, but I moved it here because I just like it better. I own nothing but the plot idea.
If you read the description, in case it wasn't clear, this is a Naruto and Yugioh GX crossover, with some 5ds, and original Yugioh, Naruto will be the next supreme King of Darkness.
He will use cards, mostly spells and traps, and monsters as summons. He won't be spamming monsters, but a rough strength chart would be.
0-1000- gennin
1100-2000- chunin
2100-3000+ -jounin+
The pairing will be a harem, this is just a beginning list, with some commentary, I may change it later, note that some girls will be locked in.
Hinata - because I like her (locked)
Ino - deserves to be more than a fangirl
Sakura(maybe) - mine will NOT be a fangirl, I promise
Nozomi & Natsumi - Won't be incest, like my other story(locked)
Tenten - I like her as well
Haku - (fem) no guy is that pretty (locked)
Karin - same as Ino
Samui- like her as well
Kurotsuchi- add interesting conflict
Akiza - (Yugioh 5ds) cause she's a boss, also an idea for her popped into my head that would be an interesting plot point. (Locked)
Luna - (5ds) Psychic girl would be cool
Alexis/Asuka - (GX) one of my favorite characters (locked)
Tea - like her
Dark magician girl - a must-have in any Yugioh related harem
Yubel - cause why not?
As I said, I might add more, I might not, I don't want to make the harem too big. Also there might be lemons in the future, maybe.
Also, some characters might be a bit OP because of changes in their lives.
I really hope that you enjoy the story!

In the village hidden in the leaves, on top of the Hokage Monument, more specifically the Sandaime's head sat a boy with shoulder length golden blonde spiky hair, electric blue eyes, and three whisker like marks on each cheek. He was wearing blue shorts, a white tank top, and black flip-flops. Ten year old Naruto was having a bad day, no surprise there, he rarely had a good one. His life had been one long stream of misery since he was four, when his "parents" decided that it was time to train his siblings; Nozomi, Natsumi, and Menma, they told him that he would start his training next year, exactly one year to the day, he asked if he was going to start training with his siblings. He could still remember.
Flashback
"Daddy, can I start my training with the others today please? A young Naruto asked his father.
"No Naruto, your siblings need the training more than you, you can start your training next year." Explained Namikaze Minato the Yondaime Hokage of Konohagakure no Sato.
"But that's what you said last year! Why can't I start training like them?!" Naruto asked while pointing at his siblings, who were going through katas with his mother Kushina.
"Naruto, I'm not going to say this again, you are not starting your training this year, now go to your room." Minato was starting to get irritated now.
"But you promised, and you are always telling me to never go back on my word, well that goes for you too!" Tears were gathering in Naruto's eyes.
"The reason that your siblings need training is because they are going to need it when they become ninja, you are never going to be one, so you don't need training, they are better than you, so go to your room now!" Minato yelled at his son and stormed out into the back yard.
Naruto just sat there with tears in his eyes as his father walked away, he had just been told that he wasn't going to be a ninja, the thing he wanted more than anything.
Flashback End
After that day, he had avoided his family, and they just plain forgot about him, even the extended family of the Sannin and his parent's students forgot about him, they forgot his birthday, to make food for him, and to bring him along when they do anything. He used to always play with his siblings when he had the chance, but then they started to put what they learned from their parents into their games, he couldn't keep up anymore, so they started to leave him behind, until they started to forget about him too, well, until they needed someone too put down. To understand why they were becoming ninja and Naruto wasn't one would have to know what happened on the day of his birth.
When the quadruplets were born, the same day, a masked man came and held newborn Naruto hostage and kidnapped his mother, she was the container of the Kyuubi before Naruto, so the masked man ripped it out of her and set it to attack the village, the mountain sized fox rampaged through the village, until his father arrived to fight it. After a long battle, his father decided the only course of action was to seal it away, and the only thing that could contain a bijuu was a newborn baby, and only an Uzumaki could contain the Kyuubi, the strongest of all bijuu. However, Kushina was the last of that long extinct clan, until that night, so Minato took baby Naruto and performed a sealing ritual called the 'Hakke no Shiki Fuin' to summon the Shinigami to seal the fox away into Naruto, making him the third container of the monstrous fox.
Flashback
Minato Namikaze had just passed out after sealing the Kyuubi into his son, Naruto, and was ready for what was to come, the price of having summoned the God of death himself, his soul was to be taken. As the death God descended, a purple skinned creature with horns on it's head, black eyes, a tanto clenched in it's sharp teeth, and clad in a white kimono, it looked upon the mortal that had summoned it, then to the child it had sealed the demon into.
"So this is the new jailor..." It spoke in an ancient and powerful voice.
"Now for the soul," And as the God reached towards Minato, the baby cried and a tendril of shadow shot up and stabbed through the Shinigami's hand. The God looked puzzled. "What is this?" It took it's hand off the spikes and it's gaze turned back to the child, as if looking for something.
"This power, could he be..." It paused. "He, hehehe, hehehehe, HAHAHAHA!" The God roared out a laugh, "So he is the next actor in that ongoing play, the next destined to become the dark king," The God mused to himself.
"This is going to be fun." He looked to Minato. "You're lucky mortal, your son has earned you a pass this time, it doesn't really matter if I take your soul now, I'll get it eventually, a few decades doesn't matter to me much." He started staring at the boy, with new found interest. "But you, to dare strike me, and such control over your power as a newborn, you have caught my interest boy."
The God waved it's hand over the child and watched as a glow came over him and a picture formed in the air of a constantly changing video, showing the child, at various ages, an old man, a young boy, and a man in his prime, with his name at the top; Naruto, the God watched as the image shattered like a pane of glass, and scattered into the wind.
The God spoke again to the child, "Be grateful, I have given you a great gift, you would have been bound to the same fate as your predecessors, but I have shattered your fate. You are no longer bound by it, you are the one mortal in the universe that can truly choose their own destiny, you may even be able to change the fate of others. I look forward to seeing what you do in life, future Supreme King of the Gentle Darkness..." With that, the God sensed the mortal's friends approaching and shimmered, vanishing, leaving the passed out man and the crying newborn alone.
Flashback End
Naruto took the news of not being a ninja hard, but he was able to figure out why, the seal on his stomach, what happened on his and his sibling's birthday, it didn't help that the villagers always called him demon boy or fox boy, he was the jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Kitsune, and judging by how his parents were stressing sealing and suppression in their training, they were training his siblings to be his wardens, to keep Naruto on a leash in case he lost control, he guessed that they were afraid that since he didn't have Mito's experience, or the chakra chains, that he would lose control to the beast and go wild.
Konoha Street-Clan District.
Right now Naruto was on his way to hang out with his friends, even though he didn't have many, he treasured the ones he had. There was Sarutobi Hiruzen, Hyuga Hinata, Yamanaka Ino, and Haruno Sakura, plus he had his two surrogate mothers, Uchiha Mikoto and Hyuga Hisana, then there was his surrogate siblings, Uchiha Itachi, and Hyuga Hanabi. He met the girls at his third birthday party, and they had been friends ever since. He met Mikoto when he was eight, wandering around the village, she knew who he was and started asking why he was there all alone, so he told her what his parents had done, she was about ready to storm the estate, but he stopped her, so she settled for being his new mom. It was through her that Naruto met her son, the famous Itachi, they got along because they were both prodigies, though nobody noticed Naruto, and Itachi started seeing Naruto as a second brother, but Sasuke didn't like Naruto and the feeling was mutual, Naruto was at least willing to try getting along with him, but Sasuke let his pride get in the way. Speaking of pride, Naruto could only go over to Mikoto's house when Fugaku was gone, since Fugaku was a prick about his "Uchiha Superiority".
Anyway, Naruto was on his way to the Hyuga compound to see his friends, they had decided to have a day to play together before the girls were put into the academy. He got to the compound and the guards let him right on in, a lot of the Hyuga weren't as bad as people thought they were, sure the elders and traditionalists could be jerks but most of the Hyuga were stand up guys, even Hiashi was like a marshmallow around Hinata and Hanabi. As Naruto was walking along, he started feeling like a rabbit being stalked by a wolf, a pair of glinting pale eyes boring into him, then quicker than you could say Hiraishin, he was tackled by a small black-haired missile by the name of Hanabi.
Naruto picked his head up, shook the cobwebs from it, and looked down at the glaring Hanabi, who looked more adorable than scary.
"Baka Nii-chan! When you make an engagement with a group of ladies, then you always arrive early in case they need your help with something!" She scolded cutely.
"Since when was that a thing?" Naruto asked smirking.
"Since I just made it up!" Hanabi yelled while flailing her arms around.
Then a new voice cut in, "Come now Hanabi-chan, Naru-chan can't play with you and the girls if you don't get off of him."
The two turned to the voice and saw Hisana, Hinata and Hanabi's mother, watching them with a small smile on her face. As they were getting up, Naruto couldn't help but think about how Hisana's feelings about him had changed, when he first came over to play with Hinata, Hisana didn't like him. Because she and Kushina were mortal enemies from the academy all the way to the present, since they had such conflicting personalities they never got along and eventually it turned into hate. But after a while and hearing about Naruto's life, Hisana started to treat Naruto just like Mikoto did, like a son. Speaking of Mikoto, she was also there, she didn't have anything to do, what with Itachi on a mission and Fugaku training Sasuke, she decided to come over and watch the kids play. Mikoto and Kushina used to be best friends until Naruto't treatment caused Mikoto to drive a wedge between them. Thought she and Hisana got along fine, mostly because Mikoto always tried to be the mediator between Kushina and Hisana.
"There you are Naruto-kun, we've been waiting!" Said a young platinum blonde girl, it was in a short cut, this girl also had pupil-less baby blue eyes and was wearing a yellow sundress.
"Please tell me that you didn't buy into that early thing that Hanabi's spouting off Ino-chan!" Naruto fake pleaded.
"Please," the now named Ino said in a haughty tone,"I was the one who taught it to her."
"Of course you were." Naruto deadpanned.
"Please Ino-chan, you shouldn't tease Naruto-kun like that." Hinata told her friend, Hinata was a girl with indigo colored hair in a short princess cut, the pale, milky, pupil-less eyes that her clan was known for, and wearing a pale blue floral kimono with white obi.
"Aw come on Hinata-chan, it's not hurting anyone." Sakura told her bluenette friend. Sakura was a girl with emerald green eyes, long pink hair, and was wearing a red Chinese style dress.
" I know but still..." She began.
"Don't worry about it Hinata-chan, I know she's just having fun." Naruto assured his shy friend.
He was very grateful that his friends were there for him, though if his mother knew that he was friends with the "Spawns of the pale bitch" she would have a cow. Hinata was really shy when Naruto first met her, but Ino and Sakura helped to break her out of her shell, she still had her shy moments but at least she didn't stutter in every sentence anymore. There was a close call in losing Ino and Sakura to the dark side of the romance, the dreaded, fangirlism. When they first saw Sasuke, they started to turn, but a swift smack from Hinata broke them out of that, and they saw what a jerk he really was. Naruto had a pretty good way with the ladies as well, not in the fangirl way, they were all taken by Sasuke and Menma, but hanging out with only girls let him have a keen insight into the mind of a girl and taught him how to be respectful of them and their feelings, something that Mikoto and Hisana were thankful for. Becoming friends with Sakura was hard at first because Sakura's mother was an adamant Naruto hater, but eventually, he won her over, though needless to say, her mother had no idea.
After playing with his friends until about nine o'clock, Naruto decided that it was time for him to go home, so he started on his way, Hisana and Mikoto let him go alone because even if the villagers were idiots and hated him for what he contained, they wouldn't hurt him, at least that's what Naruto told them, in reality, the villagers were not above beating him on their "fox hunts" there hadn't been any mobs in over a year, and he was able to get away from the odd civilian that came after him, most of the ninja understood the difference between him and the fox, but there was still a few that liked to torment him.
As Naruto was walking, he started to hear the telltale footsteps of a growing group trying to silently follow him. He got ready to run, he had to carefully plot out his route or he could get cornered in an alley, then he'd have nowhere to go. After quickly plotting out a route, Naruto took off as fast as his legs could carry him, he heard the mob pick up speed as well, some of them yelling. As he was running, he realized that he couldn't get away, he was just too young to get away from them, he was going to get caught, he needed help! Anyone! He just needed someone to help him!
"Take a right up at the weapon shop."
Naruto would have questioned where the voice was coming from, but right now, he had bigger things to worry about, like getting away. So he took the right and found himself in an alley that he could easily maneuver through due to his size, but the mob would have to go around. He ran out on the other side and found his way to another alley, he didn't know what to do, the only way out was back the way he came or out the one exit that the mob was coming up on, he was trapped!
"There's a manhole beneath you, open it up and climb down."
Naruto looked and, sure enough, there was a manhole beneath his feet, so he opened it up and climbed down.
"Don't forget to put the cover back on!"
'Thank you voice in my head!' Naruto would have forgotten if the voice didn't remind him. So he placed the cover back on and descended into the darkness.
Konoha Sewers.
'This is starting to get weird.' Naruto thought as he walked along the stone path on the side of the sewer line, his eyes had adjusted to the darkness to where he could see a bit, but he still needed the voice to guide him.
"Get over it and keep walking" The voice told Naruto, it had been guiding him for a few hours now, he didn't know where it was taking him, but it was his best chance, he thought that it might have been a Yamanaka, given their mind and telepathy techniques, but this voice didn't sound human, it sounded like many voices speaking together, with the dominant voice sounding like a teenage girl. Whatever this voice was, it was clear that it wasn't leading him to his house, he should have passed it a long time ago.
"You're a smart boy, now stop, directly to your right is a ladder leading up to a maintenance hatch , it leads to an old escape tunnel from the Shodaime Hokage's era, which has been long forgotten, now move along the passage to the end, above you will be a wooden trapdoor, bite your finger and wipe some blood on it."
Naruto did just what the voice told him to do, and proceeded down the path that looked like it was made by a mokuton jutsu, he didn't try going against the voice because he heard that some mind jutsu users could crush a person's mind with their telepathy. He eventually got to the end and found the door, he bit his thumb and wiped his blood on the door. Suddenly, an ancient sealing array came to life on the door, and after a minute, disappeared and the trapdoor flipped open with a soft 'thunk'.
Naruto climbed out and looked around, it was nowhere near as dark as the tunnel, so he could see everything, and it was then that he realized he had gotten into some deep shit. He was in the Hokage's vault, the vault, the one that held every dangerous artifacts ever to come into the village, the one that only the HOKAGE was allowed to enter! He knew this because he saw all the traps placed on the door, all the locks, and THE sacred scroll, that held every dangerous and/or secret technique in the village!
"Calm down and listen to me, in the back of the vault, the very back, is a small cubby that holds a number of small artifacts, I want you to reach into the very back and grab a necklace on a black cord, the pendant is about the same size as a playing card."
Naruto reached in and, sure enough, there was the necklace, he saw that one side had a golden eye on it and the other had a black base and it looked like sparks were swirling around in a whirlpool pattern, but it looked like it had two sections, one side looked like it opened into one thin compartment, only enough space for one piece of paper, and the same on the opposite side. Then, he put the necklace around his neck, and booked it back through the tunnel.
Namikaze Compound.
After being guided back to his house, Naruto flew into is room, locked the door, and hid in his closet, heroic no? He was sitting in the dark, breathing hard and his heart pounding, the dark always calmed him down, but not tonight.
'I just stole from the sacred vault! I could get executed if anyone found out about this! And I did it all on the words of a voice in my freaking head!'
"Calm down Naruto-kun."
'Calm down! How can I calm down!? And how do you know my name, WHO ARE YOU!' Naruto raged in his head.
'Giggle' "We will meet face to face in time Naruto-kun, for now, just go to sleep, and keep that necklace safe, we will talk again soon, and my name is Yubel..." With that, the voice faded away and left Naruto's mind.
'Wait!' But Naruto was too late, the voice has faded, then he took out the necklace and looked at it, he had two choices, he could either go to his parents and tell them about what happened, or keep it to himself, and keep the necklace safe like the voice asked. After thinking about it, he realized that if he went to his parents, they wouldn't believe anything about his story, and the necklace was from the back of the vault, they wouldn't even believe it came from there.
-Play: Fairy Tail Past Story-
Naruto couldn't help but think about his life, he wondered if his family would even care if he got killed by that mob, he didn't even notice the venom that had entered his voice, nor one of his eyes flashing a menacing golden color before returning to normal. He thought about how his life was being decided for him, how eventually his friends would become ninja with lives and responsibilities of their own and leave him behind to waste away in a dismal abyss of a life, he wondered if this Yubel could help him.
"Yubel..."
He took one last look at the pendant and whispered to himself as he fell asleep;
"It almost looks like, a card..."
The next morning.
Naruto woke up the next morning still partially freaking out about what he did the day before, after all, it was kind of a big deal. But, if the necklace was all the way in the back, then chances are, that nobody would know it was missing, and nobody would believe that a ten year old got into the sacred vault and took the necklace by himself, since they wouldn't know about Yubel.
Speaking of Yubel, Naruto wondered what would happen when they finally met, would she kidnap him, would she take the necklace and kill him? He had no idea, but there was no use worrying about it now, then he realized that today was a "special" day, it was October 10th, his birthday... yay... He hated his birthday, his friends tried to make it better, but the bad feelings outweighed the good, what with his parents completely forgetting about him, everyone else doing the same, the villagers putting on a festival to celebrate the Kyuubi's defeat and celebrating the "miracle triplets" as his siblings were called, yet another day of being ignored.
He walked out into the hallway only to run into his younger brother Menma, "Watch it loser!" He said as he walked down the stairs.
His sisters Natsumi and Nozomi came up next, Natsumi commented first, "Why don't you just disappear? Nobody wants you around anyway."
Nozomi followed up with, "Yeah, why do you even bother anymore, just leave."
Naruto was sick of their shit, "Fine..."
They all looked up at him in confusion, a cold chill settled in their spines as they looked into his golden eyes. Wait, weren't they blue?
Naruto spoke again as he walked past them and toward the library, "I will leave... But when I come back... I'll break all three of you." He didn't even say it as a threat, just a simple fact.
The triplets just dismissed it as him being stupid, he wouldn't really leave, he didn't have it that bad.
Right?
Later, at the party.- Namikaze estate backyard
Naruto was currently sitting off to the side, watching as his "family" showered his siblings with presents while he got jack. He would have been able to at least bare it if his friends were there, but Ino was being forced to help run her family's stand in the festival, Mikoto had to stay home and take care of a sick Sasuke, Itachi was still out on his mission, Hisana wouldn't be able to get through the door without his mother going full fruit fly on her and the girls, while Sakura was imprisoned in a family day at her house, and Hiruzen was on a diplomatic errand to the fire daimyo' s palace.
Then his father decided he wanted to say something, "Attention everyone! I have an announcement to make!" Everyone stopped to pay attention, even Naruto. " I have decided that my son Menma will become the heir to both the Namikaze and Uzumaki clans! And I hope that my three wonderful kids will become great ninja and live long and happy lives."
'What! But that's my right!' Naruto thought angrily, "Hold on, THREE! That son of a bitch completely forgot about me! How dare they!" Naruto could feel a dark power building up inside him, he had felt this before, when he got angry, he felt this power bubble up. He could still remember when it came out during Hinata's kidnapping, he was walking through the forest when he came across a Kumo-nin carrying a knocked out Hinata. He had gotten in the way and told the ninja to put her down, he didn't know what happened, but one moment the Kumo ninja is running off about turning Hinata into breeding stock for her Byakugan, then Naruto got angry.
The next thing he knew, trees were broken, the ground was cracked, and the Kumo-nin was impaled against a tree by a shadowy spike, then he blacked out. He knw at that moment that he had to keep this power suppressed, under control.
"Set it loose..."
'Yubel? What do you mean, the last time I used this power I killed someone!'
"This power, this darkness is a part of you, everyone has a dark side, but most suppress it, some try to defeat it to gain it's power, but those who learn to accept their darkness as a part of themselves become truly strong."
'Accept my darkness?'
"Yes, darkness gets a bad rep because of what people have done with it, but it depends on the user, even the greatest hero can use darkness, and the most evil villain can use light, it is not the power itself, but the people behind the power. Quit restraining yourself, let go..."
Naruto didn't know it, but during that whole conversation, only a single second had passed in the real world, 'Let go and release my power, don't restrain myself...'
-play: fairy tail released power-
"Yeah..." Naruto said as his eyes shifted to gold and he gave a dark smirk.
Black smoky shadow rolled off of Naruto and climbed high into the sky, it was then that everyone was frozen by this power, the experienced ninja were caught off guard and captured in it too, even the Hokage and his wife.
Naruto just looked at them with cold blue eyes and walked straight past them toward the house, he passed through and kept walking straight to the Hyuga compound.
-end song-
The next morning
Naruto was sitting next to a koi pond in the Hyuga gardens, watching the fish as he thought about his new power, it felt so amazing to let it free, he finally felt whole, Lima a part of himself had been locked away, and was now loose.
He had stayed at the compound for the night, Hisana had been happy to help him through this. He heard something and looked to the side to see all of his friends looking ready to comfort him.
"Naru-chan..." Hisana said softly as Mikoto looked ready to blow a wall of the Namikaze compound way with her yelling at the Namikaze family.
"Naruto-kun, I am so sorry that this happened." Sakura said while putting her hand on Naruto's shoulder.
"It's fine."
"No it is not fine!" Ino interjected, "Those people pretty much disowned you and they didn't even seem to care!" It was true, by removing Naruto from the position as heir, they had effectively disowned him.
"Naruto-kun, there was something that I wanted to talk to you about," stated the ever stoic Itachi, "you seem more at peace than I have seen in a long time, I think it has something to do with that dark power we heard that you released."
"Dark power? What power Naru-chan?" Mikoto asked.
"I can help with that."
"Yubel?" Naruto asked, confused.
"Who said that!" Sakura yelled as the adults jumped into taijutsu stances.
"I will show you, Naruto-kun, do you still have the necklace?"
"Naruto-kun, what necklace, what's going on!?" Hinata asked.
"Yeah, I still have it," Naruto said as he pulled out the pendant from his shirt.
"Good, then open the compartment with the eye on it and take out what's inside, then all will be explained."
"Naruto don't, it could be a trap!" Itachi said.
"Please guys, just let me do this." Naruto said as he found the clasp and opened the pendent, inside he saw...
"A card?"
Indeed, it was a card, it had the picture of a creature with purple and black skin, half silver and half blue hair, a third eye, claws on it's right hand, and a monstrous looking left arm, one foot looked like a regular human ons, and the other looked like a dragon foot, last but not least, it had two large dragon-like wings on it's back.
" What is that freaky looking thing?" Leave it to Ino to be as blunt as a mallet.
"That's not very nice, little girl." The creature said as it somehow appeared next to them.
"Who are you! And why does Nii-san have you in his necklace?!" Asked Hanabi, summing up everyone else's questions. This led to Naruto explaining how he got the necklace and the whole voice in his head thing.
"I am Yubel, and I am a duel spirit, Naruto's spirit to be precise." She explained, giving more questions than answers. "Before you start, allow me to finish speaking, I inhabit the card that Naruto is holding, back in ancient times, even before what the Rikudou Sannin would think was ancient, people used to play a game, a game called Duel Monsters." And so Yubel explained about the game, it's rise to popularity, and it's dark roots deep in the shadows of Egypt, and the heroes who worked with spirits to beat the evil back. That is until the Shinju showed up and blew everything to hell, starting humanity over again. She also told about how she was the guardian of an even more ancient entity, the Supreme King of Darkness.
"Wow, that's a lot to take in." Itachi said, his stoic face broken for once.
"Wait a minute..." Sakura spoke up, "If you are the guardian of this Supreme King, and you're Naruto-kun's duel spirit, then..."
"Nii-san's a freaking King!" Hanabi yelled in excitement.
"I am?" Naruto asked, still trying to take it in.
"Yes you are, I usually am with the next King long before this, but you were harder to find, you look different from the others before you, and it also didn't help that the vault was blocking my communications." At this, Yubel huffed in irritation.
"Why were you locked up in there anyway?" Mikoto asked.
"Tobirama Senju found me and the others and stuck us in the necklace, he sensed our shadow energy and got paranoid." Yubel explained.
"Others?" Hinata asked, confused.
"I wasn't the only one sealed away, there are tons of other cards in the other compartment of the necklace, take a look." And when Naruto looked like Yubel suggested, there was a small storage seal in the compartment. When Naruto opened them, six small leather rectangular pouches and one thinner black metal case popped out.
"The leather cases contain regular cards, while the black one contains certain... 'special' cards, you are nowhere near ready for those ones, but I can start training you on your shadow powers and how to use the cards whenever you're ready, after we fully awaken you of course." Yubel explained with a smile.
"Fully awakened? What does that mean?" Hisana asked.
At this, Yubel took on a more serious face. "The reason that I couldn't find you was because your energy was out of whack, I suspect it was the Kyuubi's doing, he has created a dark version of you in your mind that has all of your supreme King powers, you'll need to confront them to awaken you."
"Well then, let's get started!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Hold on Naruto-kun, this could be dangerous, are you sure you want to do this?" Itachi asked.
"Yes, this feels like something I have to do." Naruto said with conviction. The others saw the look in his eye and realized that nothing would stop them, the girls were the first to respond.
"Naruto-kun, be careful!" Ino told him.
"Don't you dare lose to that furball!" Sakura said.
"If you lose, I'll beat you up!" Hanabi said, adding her own two cents.
"Please be okay..." Hinata pleaded.
"I will, and thank you, for everything." Naruto said as he God into a meditative position on a stone in the center of the pond and Yubel returned to her card.
"Okay-sama, would you help me put up a genjutsu around the garden?" Itachi asked his mother.
"Of course." So Mikoto and Itachi got to work weaving their most powerful genjutsu.
Meanwhile, in Naruto's Mindscape
Naruto appeared outside a gigantic, Gothic looking castle, he decided to open the door and enter, and as he walked in, he saw that the main room was a cathedral sized throne room, with black marble floors, white Greek columns lining the sides, a blood red carpet leading to a raised Dias at the end, and a black spiked throne in the center. If Naruto had looked around, he would have noticed the Egyptian tapestries lining the walls, and five dragon paintings on the walls, or the long red dragon statue twisting around the ceiling, maybe even the three statues around the throne. But he didn't notice any of those things, no, his attention was drawn to the figure sitting on the steps of the dias, it was another Naruto, only this one had menacing golden eyes and a cruel smile on his lips.
"Well well, you're here. Call me Haou." The now named Haou said.
"So, you're my dark half?" Naruto asked.
"Yep, and now... DIE!" Haou said as he fired a blast of darkness. Naruto just stood there as it enveloped him, Haou thought that he had won, so WHY wasn't he out! The , he saw, Naruto was completely fine, still with the same expression on his face.
"Wh-wh-WHAT!" Haou screeched in disbelief. "How did you survive that! It doesn't matter, you won't survive this!" He started firing a huge wave of darkness at Naruto, and he kept firing, he didn't realize that it wasn't working until Naruto's hand reached out of the darkness and grabbed his wrist. "What! How, HOW! WHY CAN'T I KILL YOU?!"
Naruto just looked at him with a small smile, not a smirk, an actual smile. "You don't get it, I already accepted you."
"Wh-what?" Haou was confused.
Naruto just kept smiling, "I already accepted it, you're a part of me, you wouldn't be here if you weren't. You were expecting me to lock you away, weren't you? Don't worry, I wouldn't do that to you."
"You... " Haou stood there shocked, then, he smiled, and started fading from the mindscape. "You're alright." Then, he fully disappeared.
Naruto stood there waiting to go back, when he didn't he realized that there must be something else for him to do there.
"Well, I didn't expect that." A deep ominous voice said from the side of the throne room. Naruto looked over and saw an enormous metal gate, blocking a dark room, then he walked over to it. "I at least expected the typical, 'No you're not me, I'm nothing like you!' Yada yada. But I certainly didn't expect that." Said the Kyuubi as it walked into the light. Then, the beast's claw shot out of the bars, but stopped short of Naruto's eye by a few centimeters. "Impressive, to not flinch a bit, you're no ordinary fleshbag. So, got anything to say to me, boy?"
"I'm much smarter than people think, even if your claw reached me, it couldn't hurt me, you're still behind the seal. Plus, even if you could, you wouldn't kill me, if I died, then so do you." Naruto said to the fox.
"You're sharp... Now down to business, I propose a deal between us, I recognize that, like it or not, we're stuck together, so we might as well make the best of it."
"What are the terms?" Let it be said that Naruto, even as a kid, was no sucker.
"I want you to allow me access to your senses, so I can experience the outside world for myself, to let me out of the seal should you ever find a way to do it without killing yourself, and a mental link between us, so we can communicate, and in return I will give you tutoring on chakra techniques and fuinjutsu."
"You know fuinjutsu?" Naruto asked.
"My last two containers were sealing masters, I can teach you to be one as well." The Kyuubi said with a smirk. "Now back to what I bring to the table, I can also allow you access to my chakra, however there are stipulations. I get to decide whether you get chakra or not, and I will judge the situation to decide how much you get. Now, do you accept?"
"One more thing, why did you attack the village anyway?" Naruto asked.
"Tsk, that masked jackass put me under a genjutsu with his sharingan, if I had my choice, I would have left and went to the mountains or something." Kyuubi said with an irritated expression.
"Well, thank you, and I hope they we can be friends Kyuubi." Naruto said with a smile.
"It's Kurama, and another thing, you have a lot to live up to kit, the Supreme King, the blood of the Pharaoh, and that annoying lizard's mark, you've got a busy life ahead."
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked before he was ejected from the mindscape.
In the Hyuga gardens
Everyone was talking about what they'd just learned when a stiff wind blew from where Naruto was. They all looked and saw something that they'd never forget. The water was churning as five spectral figures appeared in the shadow rolling off of Naruto, a long red dragon with two mouths, a gigantic blue armored warrior, a golden armored bird-dragon hybrid, a dragon as long as the first made of Crimson, white, and black flames, and last but not least, Yubel herself. After they had faded away, they all looked to see that Naruto was awake, and looked different, his eyes were now a piercing gold, and his hair was definitely unique, it started as a burnt orange color, but turned a chestnut brown about a third of the way down, there was also a fringe going down his face between his right eye and his nose that was a combination of black, gold, and violet, though his whisker marks were still there, but they were darker, more jagged and rough, but it wasn't just his face that had changed, he now had a dull red mark on his arm, which looked like a dragon head.
"Hey guys." He said in a deeper voice than before. Before he was hit with three glomps at once.
"GAH!"
A couple minutes later
Naruto was currently asking Yubel about what Kurama had said before Naruto left the mindscape. "What did he mean by blood of the pharaoh, and this mark? I remember you telling me about Yugi Moto and his connection to the pharaoh, also about the Crimson Dragon, but why do I have the pharaoh's blood, and the head mark of the Crimson Dragon?"
Yubel struck a thinking pose and said, "I already knew about Yugi's blood in your veins, but I didn't think that it would be potent enough to matter much, the mark and your dark power must have amplified the blood's power. Speaking of the mark, the Crimson Dragon chooses those it believes are worthy to wield it's mark, so it must have had it's eye on you. Being a jinchuuriki and the next Supreme King, it must have just decided to give you it's mark after seeing your life. One thing is for sure though, the signers only appear when something big is happening, the same with the Supreme King, so whatever is happening, Naruto is going to play an important role." After that happy thought, Naruto decided that since they were already dropping bombs, he might as well add one more.
"Guys, there's something I wanted to tell you, I thought about it for a while, and I think it's for the best." Naruto said after successfully prying the girls off of him. "I think that I should leave the village..."
"WHAT!" Everyone besides Itachi yelled.
"Please just let me explain." Naruto pleaded. "If I stay here, I can't train with Yubel because someone would tell the Hokage and I would never be let out of the house again, plus, I've always wanted to be a ninja, but I'll never become one in this village. I feel like if I leave and go somewhere else, then I can finally achieve my dream!" Everyone was thinking about what he had said, and he was right, leaving the village would be the best thing for him.
"But we'll miss you Nii-san!" Hanabi pleaded.
"I know, and I'll miss you guys too, but it's not like we'll never see each other again." Naruto assured the crying seven year old.
"Naru-chan, are you sure that you'll be okay?" Hisana asked quietly.
Naruto looked each of them in the eye and said, "I promise, and I also give you all my word that we'll see meet again, and I never go back on my word."
Then, Hinata walked up to him, "Naruto-kun, promise me one thing."
"Sure Hinata-chan, what is it?" Naruto asked.
She seemed nervous, but took a deep breath and looked Naruto in the eye. "The next time we meet, you have to take me on a date!" She told him loudly.
Naruto, needless to say, was shocked. "Uh, okay, su-"
"Hold on just a minute!" Ino spoke up. "If you take her on a date, then you have to take me on one too!"
"Don't wave me out, I want a date too!" And Sakura makes three.
Naruto sat there in a catatonic state before opening his mouth. "EEEEEHHHH?!"
At the Namikaze compound, a little past midnight.
Naruto was taking one last look at his former home, he had just snuck in and helped himself to a few things, like scrolls on the rasengan, Hiraishin, various sword styles, elemental jutsu, Kage bushin, chakra control, and a beauty of a scroll on increasing a jinchuuriki's ability to withstand a bijuu's corrosive chakra. He had also taken some rations and basic supplies.
He then started on his way to the secret tunnel that Yubel had told him about, on his way, he thought about the day that he'd just spent with his friends, they had made the most of their time together, and even taken a few pictures, the one that Naruto was secretly partial to was the one of Ino, Sakura, and Hinata giving him a kiss on the cheek. One thing though that he didn't know how feel about, was that the girls were going to put up facades at the academy to make people underestimate them, after all, deception was the shinobi's greatest weapon, they had decided that Sakura and Ino would act like rabid fangirls, cue shudder, and Hinata was going to be a shy wall flower, he just hoped that they wouldn't go too overboard. He was sad that he had to leave them behind, but he needed to do this, he absentmindedly wiped a stray tear from his eye as he came upon the wall surrounding Konoha, careful to keep his shadow cover over him, so he wouldn't be spotted by the ANBU guard.
"See that storage shed placed against the wall? Go inside it and there will be a switch on the bottom right corner of the back wall, push it and the door should slide open, and don't worry Naruto-kun, you'll see them again in time." Yubel assured him from her place in the necklace.
Naruto resolved himself and went inside the shed, and sure enough, there was the switch. As he walked through the tunnel, he was thankful that there was one good thing about Yubel having to wander around the village in spirit form for decades, she probably knew more about the village's infrastructure than the village archives. After a few minutes of walking, he came to a dead end with a few steps leading into a hollow wooden tube above him, as he got to it, he found a door and pushed it open. He saw moonlight flood the area, showing him that the tunnel exit was actually a hollowed out tree.
Oh, the cliché was strong.
After looking around for a few minutes, he found the main road and looked back in the direction of Konoha, he vaguely saw the main gate in the distance, and in that moment, the reality of what he'd done caught up with him. He had ran away from home and was now supposed to face the world, he thought for a single moment about going back.
"Don't you dare kit! You've gone too far to back out now! Plus, you have me and the dragon lady with you, so you're not alone. You'll feel more and more capable once your training starts, now look back down the road, hold your head high, and move forward! A king must never appear weak in his decisions." Said Kurama in his strangely motivating way. Then Yubel decided to speak up.
"The furball's right Naruto-kun, you have us with you, and I know you'll meet even more people on your journey.
'Thanks guys, and I should let you know that I've been planning on traveling around the nations for a while before settling somewhere.' Naruto told his two companions.
"That sounds like a good idea./Whatever..." We're the two responses.
As Naruto started walking down the road, he started thinking, and he couldn't' help but wonder what kind of adventures he was going to have, well, one thing was for sure, his life would never be boring for long.
Chapter End.
