Sorry I haven't been updating recently, but I'm working on three stories at once with limited computer time. I going to start this story to help keep you guys occupied. So please enjoy. This takes place in a world that is somewhat like the one in the Golden Compass in terms of daemons, technology and some other stuff too. Note, I've never actually read the book. Please forgive me. I also changed some facts in Naruto. For the sake of the story, all of the daemons are the same gender as their human.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or the Golden Compass.

Before the Adventure begins…
Konohagakure, or Konoha, s a highly populated village with cobblestone roads, white brick buildings with red tiled roof0tops, tall chimneys, and it is surrounded with trees. In this world, your spirit walked along side you in the form of an animal, though its form would not be decided until the age of ten, give or take a year or two.
Konoha was lead by its Hokage. The village had four, but the Fourth was killed, so the Third took his place. The fourth only left one thing for the village. His son, Naruto Uzumaki. Most adults ignored him, but the children around Naruto's age did not.
The Third died, and a new Hokage lead the village. Her name was Tsunade. By this time, Naruto was nine. Now we shall join Naruto and his daemon, Byakko.
Naruto was in class with other children. all of which were quite bored. A common event that happened during class was passing notes. A teacher could not detect it because the daemons were allowed to walk around freely. Naruto had sent Byakko to give a message to all of his friends. The note told them to send their daemons to Naruto if they wanted to play hide-and-seek. Byakko had returned in the form of a fennec fox. Behind him was Ookami, Sasuke's daemon, Kuniko, Kiba's daemon, Konchuu, Shino's daemon, Kochou, Chouji's daemon, and Tonakai, Shikamaru's daemon. Naruto grinned. Then he bent down and told Kuniko to tell Kiba to set off the trap.
When Kuniko returned to Kiba, Kuniko whispered into Kiba's ear. Akamaru, a very real dog on Kiba's head, whined in protest. Kiba only smiled. He reached into his desk and pulled out a very real skunk. Kiba dropped it rudely.
The skunk, which had enough of being pushed around, walked to the front of the classroom and raised its tail.
"SKUNK!" the children screamed. The room was soon fill with the toxic odor. Everyone ran from the room. The boys ran to the field where they soon met with Neji and his daemon Zenkei and Lee and his daemon Kinezumi.
"Great job, Kiba! We won't have to go to school for a week!" Naruto exclaimed. Kiba took a bow while everyone clapped.
"Some more people are coming to join us," Zenkei said. He landed on Neji's shoulder in the form of a hawk. His form was settling. Kinezumi's form was settling, too. He would only switch from chipmunk to squirrel.
Some more children showed up, including Sakura and her daemon Taikou, Hinata and her daemon Usagi, Ino and her daemon Buta, and Tenten and her daemon Jia-Jia. Jia-Jia was settling into the form of a giant panda.
"Well, it's Neji's turn to be it so… HIDE!" Byakko yelled. All of the children and their daemons fled to the forest. Neji and Zenkei sat in the grass and counted to one hundred.
"Alright, Zenkei. I'll go right and you go left." Neji instructed. Zenkei nodded, turned into a horse and ran into the forest. Neji followed him.
Zenkei searched through the trees in the form of and eagle. "Look out, look out where ever you are," he sang. He heard some rustling in the bushes and saw Jia-Jia being pushed out.
"Get out of the way!" Zenkei heard a girl's voice say rudely. Jia-Jia shook it off and looked around for a new place to hide.
"Peek-a-boo, I see you," Zenkei called. Jia-Jia jumped and looked to Zenkei. She shook her head and mouthed the words 'Don't tell'. Zenkei pondered the thought. Then he wolf-whistled. Jia-Jia looked utterly shocked.
"Zenkei! Stop looking at yourself and search!" Neji's sharp voice called. Half the forest started at Neji's voice. Zenkei smirked and mouthed 'You owe me' to Jia-Jia. Jia-J-a nodded and found a new hiding spot.
Tenten and Jia-Jia won the game of hide-and-seek.
…
At the age of thirteen, Sasuke and Ookami, who took the permanent form of a black wolf, left the village. Naruto and Byakko, who took the permanent form of a red fox, left with Jiraiya and his daemon Gamabunta, who was a large orange toad. When Naruto and Jiraiya returned, Naruto was fifteen. At the age of sixteen, Naruto, Byakko, Sakura, and Taikou, who took the permanent form of a panther, stood on the grey cobblestone road that lead to the exit of the village. They had seen something, but they weren't sure what.
Two limping figures approached them. They were Sasuke and Ookami. The two looked like they were just in battle and they could collapse at any moment. They were given immediate medical care.
