This is an idea I've had running on my head for a while now. It's an AU where instead of the story beginning on Naruto's 3rd academy exam it begins when he is 10 years old and failed his first academy exam. It's an 'Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion' crossover with some elements of Ninja Gaiden included.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything cause' if I did I'd be swimming in money while yelling: "I'M RICH BTCH!"

LEGEND.

PROLOGUE.

On the deck of a seagoing ship a young man, who could not be older than seventeen years, was looking westward. His unruly and not so long blond hair was flowing with the wind, his blue eyes not straying from the land before them, a continent that he had not seen in a little over three years. He sure was taller than the day he had left and stronger too, having to fight a war like the one he had been involved with had a tendency to do so.

When he was twelve years old he had departed on a quest to obtain something that belonged to his lineage. He still did not know who his parents were or if he had parents at all but that old bat Muramasa had convinced him that it was his duty to travel to the lands beyond the great eastern sea to recover the 'Eye of the Dragon'.

'I hope the old bastard's still alive' He thought while a smile formed on his face then he snorted "An easy errand my ass!" The crew and passengers of the ship only looked at him and smiled. Some actually laughed at him.

'As soon as I hit the port of Kirigakure I'll send a message to that pervert-missing-a-screw-on-the-brain-sensei of mine to meet me in the land of the Waves.' His smile now grew wider.

'Those four are there, can't wait to see them again. Especially HER! And boy do I have a tall tale to tell them!'

Uzumaki Naruto was returning home.

He started snickering when he thought about finally accomplishing his original goal 'Now that I'm strong enough to not give in to the urges of the Fox and I can control its power (mostly), I'll return to Konoha and take the Old man's job! Just as I promised!'

But now the young man renowned as the 'Champion of Cyrodiil' began reminiscing about the path that he had started walking on that faithful day.

He started thinking of the day everything changed.

A/N

Well here it is: my first foray into the world of fan fiction. The prologue was a little short but hey, it's just the prologue. Also it'll be an epic length fic, God willing.

So feel free to post any criticism (constructive) or suggestions.

Thank you for reading!
