Disclaimer: I own nothing, if I did Naruto would not be an idiot, Sasuke would have gone back to Konoha after offing Orochimaru, Naruto and Hinata would be dating, and Sasuke would have gotten the stick out of his butt and realized how much Sakura cares for him.
Summary: Naruto/Kamen Rider Crossover Naruto's Father had another reason to seal the Kyuubi no Kitsune into his son. He was the only one he was sure of that could withstand the demon's influence due to the Legacy of his Mother and the Uzumaki Clan. For within them lay the Seed of Evolution.

Zenith: You're starting ANOTHER STORY!
LCR: I couldn't help it! Blame for finally centralizing their crossovers and letting me find all those hidden gems that I would have missed.
Zenith: You are unbelievable you know that. It's been how long since you updated Tails of a Fox huh? Or War Torn Tribe? Or how about any one of your OTHER stories?!
LCR: (hangs his head) A little over seven months for Tails of Fox, (Zenith gives him a stern look), I know… I know! Bad Author, very BAD Author. But I promise I'll get back to Tails of a Fox as soon as I get this chapter out.
Zenith: You better otherwise I will tell Myu that you abandoned us (sadistic laughter echoes from the back round) and from what I heard she has new Katana that she is just dying to try out.
LCR: (Gulps) Frak Me, I better get back to work then. (He then turns to the readers) So while I get back to work her for your enjoyment is the next little piece of insanity that I have written. And thanks to Kamen Rider Chrome for Betaing. I hope you enjoy it

Forest Clearing near an old guard post
Konoha
Naruto smiled smugly as his two shadow clones puffed out of existence. It had taken him what seemed like forever to get the technique down. He admitted that when he first read the name Kage Bushin no Jutsu, that it would just an even harder version of the stupid Bushin technique. But as he worked at it, he found it to be increasingly easy. Unlike the Bushin, he didn't have to keep such a tight rein on how much chakra he pumped into it. With the Kage Bushin the more he put it the better the clones turned out. "If this doesn't get me that Hitai-ite, I don't know what will," he said eagerly as he began to run through the seal sequence again. Just as he was forming the final Ram seal, a wave of pain coursed through his head driving him to his knees. "KUSO! Not again!" he groaned as he cradled his now throbbing skull as the pain slowly diminished.
For as long as he could remember, he suffered from headaches, and not the normal kind. But mind numbing, nails on a chalkboard, someone going at your head with a sledgehammer kind of headaches. The pain was so bad that one time he even got hospitalized for it. He remembered because it was the night of the Uchiha Massacre and he somehow ended up being bunked with the Emo King himself, Sasuke Uchiha, not that it mattered much since Sasuke seemed to be totally out of it for most of his stay. He had just been lucky when the ANBU Dog found him when he collapsed in that alley. If any of the other villagers had found him… he quickly silenced that train of thought. If he was to be a Hokage he had to focus on the mission and push his petty problems to the side. Refocusing on the task at hand Naruto returned his attention to the scroll making sure he had the seal sequence down for the Kage Bushin.

Iruka was in a state of utter disbelief as he caught up with Naruto; there was his favorite but albeit most troublesome student in his entire class sitting on the ground with the FORBIDDEN SCROLL of SEALS, open on his lap reading it without a care in the world and as if nothing was wrong. "Naruto just what the hell do you think you are doing!?" cried Iruka as he landed in the clearing.
"Hey Iruka-sensei, I was kinda hoping that you would get here a little later. I only just got my one jutsu and still need to perfect it so if you can just give me another minute…" said Naruto sheepishly with his trademark grin.
"Naruto what are you talking about? You are in a lot of trouble now return the scroll to me so we can go back and get this settled with the Hokage," said Iruka sternly as he held out his hand for the scroll.
"OH COME ON! You're not telling the old man is cancelling the test because I got the drop on him with my Sexy no Jutsu. Mizuki-sensei said that I could use any jutsu in my arsenal as long as I got the scroll, brought it here, and learned one jutsu from it. Now you're telling the Jii-san won't let me finish because I gave him a little nose bleed!" stormed the irate prankster at the seemingly unfairness of it all.
Iruka at this point was confused, Naruto never acted like this when he got it trouble. Usually when he got caught he would try to get away or way lay his attacker and hide out until the coast was clear. This however was more along the line of how reacted when he was treated unfairly. "Naruto what are you talking about? There is no test," he said carefully so as not to upset the kid any further.
"But Mizuki-sensei told me so himself. He said it was a special makeup test offered to students who only just failed the Genin Exam. He said that it is offered to only one student every year hand chosen by the Hokage himself," said Naruto desperately.
"Naruto there is no test," said Iruka sadly as he kneeled down to the boy's level.
"But why would Mizuki-sensei lie to me?" he asked hollowly as he fought off the onslaught of tears.
"Because you are the perfect patsy demon brat!" cried Mizuki as he appeared in a tree branch above the clearing. The pair quickly ducked down as the traitorous teacher let loose a Demon Shuriken that just barely grazed their backs. "Of all the people to figure me out, I have to say that you were not on my list Iruka. You of all people should be glad that the demon is finally getting what he justly deserves," he said with evil smirk.
"Mizuki just what are you doing?!" called Iruka as he and Naruto returned to their feet and maneuvered his student behind him.
"Money and power Iruka; Money and power. Orochimaru is offering a lot of money and positions of power in the new village he is said to be founding for the specialty jutsus of Hidden Villages. I figure that I could take the scroll, learn what I can from it before turning it over to him and getting the rank I DISERVE, instead of babysitting a bunch of little brats," he answered coldly. "And what better way to make a clean escape than to pin the whole thing on the little Fox himself."
"Shut up Mizuki. You'll only sign your own death warrant if you keep this up," said Iruka angrily as the former teacher was encroaching on dangerous territory. He looked back towards his student who was looking confused.
"B…but Mizuki-sensei, you said…"
"I know, it really is sad; you had all that power and now you are nothing more then a shadow of your former self," said Mizuki.
"My former self?" asked Naruto.
"Yes," said Mizuki before he smirked coldly. "But that's right you don't know, how you attacked the village eleven years ago."
"Mizuki stop, the law…"
"The law doesn't apply to men like Naruto and me. Those who seek power will do anything to achieve it," interrupted Mizuki coldly before focusing on his former student. "Think about it, October 10th eleven years ago. The Kyuubi no Kitsune attacked the village, but despite what Iruka taught you, the Yondaime could not kill it. So he sealed it away in a child born only a few hours before."
The weight hit Naruto like a boulder. "No, you're lying. Iruka tell me he's lying!" cried Naruto.
"He can't Naruto because it is true. YOU ARE THE KYUUBI NO KITSUNE! Now, DIE!" cried Mizuki as he let loose his Demon Shuriken that circled around Iruka to hit Naruto. Naruto was too stunned to dodge.
"NO!" cried Iruka as he moved his arm to shield Naruto as his arm became encased in black leather-like material with a red gauntlet. The weapon clattered against it sending out sparks before it fell to the ground, dented.
"So, it's true. The myth about your family is true Iruka and yet you are still a Chuunin," Mizuki laughed coldly. "Orochimaru-sama is right; this village deserves to be destroyed. If they hold back someone with such power."
Iruka growled coldly as the armor vanished from his arm as he turned to face Mizuki. "Get out of here Naruto and get that scroll back to the village and tell the Hokage that Mizuki betrayed us. I'll hold him here."
"B…b…but Iruka-sensei"
"A ninja must finish his mission. You have more then proved yourself now let me do my job," said Iruka firmly. "GO!"
With that Naruto ran off. Mizuki smirked; he would catch the fox brat later. He pulled out his second Demon Shuriken that he had on his back as Iruka pulled out a Kunai. He smiled. As long as Iruka wanted him alive, he would not go all out. And that was fine with him. Without another word they charged each other.

Naruto panted as he raced back towards the village. How could he be so stupid? Mizuki used him like a fool. Some ninja he was. How was he ever going to be Hokage if he could be fooled so easily?
"Even the best of us are fooled young Shinobi. It is only the truly foolish that don't learn from these things," said a calm voice.
Naruto looked up and saw a man standing before him on a tree branch wearing a white shirt and pants. His skin was tanned and his long brown hair was neatly set to frame his face. The only thing that was unsettling and strangely out of place about him were his eyes, which were golden yellow and slitted like a snake's. "What?" he asked of the stranger, feeling startled by his presence.
"A fool does not learn from his mistakes, and you, young Shinobi, do not seem like a fool," he said with a warm smile.
"Who are you?" Naruto asked as he clutched the scroll to him tightly.
"No one who you need to worry about at the moment, and certainly not someone who is interested in that scroll. What interest me, young shinobi, is you," he said with a mysterious and knowing smile, as if he was in on something others could only guess at.
"Me?"
The stranger chuckled warmly at the blonde's remark. "Is that so hard to believe? You are unique my young shinobi, make no mistake about it, and have much potential but then so does everyone but only few can reach it fully." He then gave Naruto a look that made him feel as if he was being X-rayed. The Old Man had given him this look also but the intensity of this one was far beyond anything he used. "But your potential is not what brought me here tonight. Despite what others may think when they see my appearance, I am a friend to this village. To that end…" with that the man seemed to vanish into thin air only to appear in another tree's branches now holding the scroll, "I will return this to your Hokage while you go save your teacher."
Naruto was shocked and made to pull a kunai from his pouch with the intention of retrieving the scroll. But froze when the man made a gesture, "Before you continue with that action young shinobi consider this, 'Those who abandon the mission are scum, those who abandon their friends are worse'. Now you can attack me, retrieve the scroll and continue your mission and in the process leave your teacher without any reasonable backup and possible death; or you can trust someone who has given you no reason not to trust them and save your teacher."
Naruto clenched his hands angrily at the stranger's cold logic before pulling an about face and rushing off to save his teacher. As he did the man could only smile, "He is ready." With that he raised his right hand which bore a blue birthmark shaped like an S on the back of his hand and motioned as if he was releasing something. The mark glowed briefly before returning to its natural state. The man now satisfied turned and began to make his way to the village and snickering at the shadows that were following him in the brush. His brother could be so overprotective sometimes.

Iruka groaned as he rolled to the ground from Mizuki's latest attack. He had underestimated him and was to the point where he was considering using his full power. But Mizuki was too fast and relentless to give him the opening to attempt it.
It was to this situation that Naruto returned to, hiding out in the bushes. He may be a knucklehead but he was not stupid. Mizuki was strong and his best hope to help his teacher was to catch Mizuki off guard. "You surprise me Iruka. You of all people defending that… that thing, the monster that stole your parents and yet here you are keeping me from ending its threat once and for all. Don't you hate it for what it did? Don't you want it dead?" asked Mizuki with mock curiosity.
"Yes," said Iruka with cold resolve forcing the hidden Naruto to pause in shock. "Yes I hate the Kyuubi for what it took from me and I wish it had died eleven years ago."
Naruto had to bite his lip to keep from crying out even as tears streaked down his cheeks. "And Naruto may be a troublemaker and a prankster, but HE IS NOT THE KYUUBI!" yelled Iruka with stern finality that shook Naruto from his sadness.
"If that is the way you feel Iruka, then DIE!" cried Mizuki as he let loose his Demon Shuriken at a defenseless Iruka. For Naruto time seemed to slow as he watched the deadly weapon chart its destructive course. Suddenly Naruto's head seemed to split open with ungodly pain and the last this he could clearly recall was being engulfed in white light.

Naruto's Mindscape
The sewer that represented Naruto's mind shook at the howls of the Kyuubi. But these were not the howls of anger or rage that those who had encountered the beast knew so well. But an unfamiliar sound, fear and pain.
"Release me bastard!" cried the Lord of all Bijuu from behind it's four story tall gate sealed with a paper talisman as glowing chains of white metal etched with archaic symbols snaked around him and bound him tightly to the wall and ground.
"The child and this world has suffered your presence long enough beast. It is time you remember that you only were allowed to roam for so long because of our discretion. And for you that discretion has ENDED!" said a glowing presence that stood opposite the beast's cage. It made a small gesture and the chains went taut and slammed the Bijuu King to the ground with a slam that could shake mountains. They then quickly began to siphon off its violent red chakra slowly turning it blue. "And now let my Seed bloom," said the being as his glow brightened before engulfing the entire sewer in its brilliance.

Iruka had just enough time to close his eyes as Mizuki's weapon came in range. He waited in agony for the biting sting of death but it never came. All that came was the sound of creaking metal. Slowly he opened his eyes and looked up is shock at something he had only heard of in legend. Before him was a man that stood almost 6' 2" in a black body suit with a metal chest piece colored a forest green with a black stone set directly over his heart. A silver helmet that had a pair of orange eyes and two golden horns sticking out over them covered his head. At his waist was a highly stylized belt with a buckle on it resembling a whirlpool that had a green stone set in its center and two large buttons on his hips. In his gauntleted hands was the bent and irreparably damaged Demon Shuriken that Mizuki had intended to end his life with.
"I don't know who you are bastard but you just made the biggest mistake of your life." With a roar Mizuki rushed the warrior intent on making him pay for his interference. However, the warrior never let him as his hand moving so fast that it would make a Hyuuga blink, deftly caught the offending fist like a parent would a spoiled child. Without a word the man squeezed causing Mizuki to cry out in pain before he shoved him away. Cracking his neck slightly the warrior quickly ran through a seal sequence ending in a Ram seal. Silently two clones of him puffed into existence. The trio took a fighting stance bringing their right foot forward as their horns fanned out with an audible *SHING* sound and a glowing symbol that resembled their helms appeared on the ground below them. The energy from it quickly raced up their right legs causing the seal to disperse and once it had the three ran forward and taking a flying leap landed a triple flying kick right at Mizuki's chest causing him to crash through several yards of trees before finally stopping.
The trio landed with in a crouch and quickly the two clones vanished in poofs of smoke. The original stood up and panted before turning towards Iruka. He didn't know how but he could tell that the warrior was smiling. Without a word the warrior's belt glowed brightly enveloping him before vanishing. Iruka was shocked for there in his place was Naruto grinning with his trademark grin before he collapsed into blissful unconsciousness.

Hokage's Office
Saurutobi sighed heavily as he puffed on his pipe and put away his viewing crystal. It had happened, the one in a million possibility had occurred. But that just showed that Naruto knew how to beat the odds. He then looked over at the returned scroll that had appeared on his desk. He knew that Naruto had encountered a man before returning to Iruka and had seen those eyes. Those he knew from so long ago but had warmth in them that was absent even then. With a sigh he returned to his desk to await their return. He knew a lot of questions would need to be answered and he was not looking forward to answering many of them.
