HeliX: Hey there. How are all of you Naruto and Sonic the Hedgehog fans? I know this story doesn't have any characters from Sonic the Hedgehog in it, but I'll be using elements from the game, Sonic and the Black Knight, like the talking Sacred Sword Caliburn/Excalibur, the Sacred Swords of the Knights of the Round Table from the game, Arondight, Laevetin, etc., and Excalibur Mode, I'll also have Nimue, the Lady of the Lake, look like a certain pink haired kunoichi, as a reference to how she looked like Amy in the game. I'll tell you who the characters that will receive Sacred Swords are, and which one they'll get, they are as follows, Naruto (Caliburn/Excalibur) duh, Sasuke (Arondight, Lancelot's Sword), Kiba (Gawain's Sword[s]), Hinata (Laevetin, Percival's Sword), Neji (Lamorak's Sword), and Itachi, then Sarada, (Galahad's Sword). If you are confused as to why I am giving them these swords, especially Naruto, because one can only draw Caliburn from his stone if they are descended from the king, it is because I am going to make the original Knights of the Round Table their ancestors, and members of their clans, Arthur Namikaze, Lancelot and Galahad Uchiha, Gawain Inuzuka, and Percival and Lamorak Hyuga, they inherited the swords. Naruto will also add other shinobi who are skilled with swords, aka kenjutsu, to the roster, like a certain Demon of the Bloody Mist, and the other members of the Rookie 9 and Team Guy will become knights as well, they will be trained. For those of you who may wonder why Naruto will be good at kenjutsu by the time Mizuki gets to him, think about it, Caliburn can talk and knows how to use a sword, being a sword himself, and Naruto can use Shadow Clones, so he used them to learn it quickly. I think I've wasted enough of your time, so our blonde prince can tell you the disclaimer.
Naruto: Sure, GunHeliXmon does not own Naruto/Naruto: Shippuden or Sonic the Hedgehog, they belong to Misashi Kishimoto and Sega respectively. If he did own them, I would get games similar to Sonic and the Secret Rings, Sonic and the Black Knight, and Sonic Generations, along with movie versions, and I would fight, befriend, and sometimes race Sonic. And Dragon Blade Chronicles would get a movie, believe it!
Caliburn: Let's get this show on the road!
Naruto: Believe it!
In the Hidden Leaf Village, located near the center of the Land of Fire, a young boy was running from a couple of older men.
"Hahahaha! Losers! You'll never catch me! You'd never even have the balls to do the prank I just did! I'm Naruto Uzumaki, and I'm gonna be a better Hokage than all of them, believe it!"
The boy, now known as Naruto, had blonde hair, blue eyes, whisker-like marks on his cheeks, and wore an orange jumpsuit with blue shoulders, white wool (I think it's wool, I was never sure) on the collar, and a red swirl on the back, which he didn't know was the symbol of the Uzumaki clan, his mother's side of the family. On his head he wore a pair of green goggles with blue lenses, and on his feet, a pair of blue shinobi sandals. He was also the son of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, who sealed a beast of great power known as the Nine-Tailed Fox, but whose name was Kurama, within him, his father had intended for him to be seen as a hero, but instead he was seen as a monster, or more specifically, Kurama himself.
Then men chasing him were Chunin (I don't know if the ninja who chased him after he did the graffiti in episode 1 were Chunin or Jonin, I never got a look at whether their vests were lighter or duller, lighter colored vests are worn by Chunin, and duller ones by Jonin) level ninja, and they were chasing him because he had just pulled a prank bigger than any of the pranks he's ever done before, he had just vandalized the Hokage Monument in graffiti.
"Naruto Uzumaki, get back here!"
What the Chunin didn't realize is that they had just lost Naruto, he was camouflaged in front of a fence! He pulled down the camo tarp, and was caught by his academy teacher, Iruka Umino.
"NARUTO! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?! GET BACK TO CLASS OR I'M GONNA TIE YOU UP AND DRAG YOUR ASS THERE AND HUMILIATE YOU IN FRONT OF THE ENTIRE CLASS!"
"Yes sir, Iruka-sensei, sir!"
"Wait a minute, did you just say 'yes sir' as in you'll listen and come quietly?"
"Yeah, I did. I just thought that maybe I should listen for once in my life. I don't want to get tied up and hauled to class to be humiliated in front of my friends and classmates, ya know? And to make it even better, I'll clean up the graffiti and apologize to Old Man Sarutobi after class, no complaints."
"Okay, who are you and what have you done to my favorite little knucklehead?"
"C'mon Iruka-sensei, it's really me! Jeez, if I had known you wouldn't believe me, I wouldn't have said anything, and I was gonna spare you from being the first victim of my Sexy Jutsu. I thought that if I did all those things, you would take me out for ramen later. Sorry! Hmph!"
"Oh, now it makes sense, okay then, if you do all that, I'll take you to Ichiraku's and you can eat as much as you want!"
"Really? You mean it?"
"Heck yeah I do! I always have fun eating with you!"
"Alright! Let's hurry up and get to class, I got graffiti to clean!"
"Oh yeah, Naruto."
"What is it Sensei?"
"What did you mean by sparing me from being the first victim of your 'Sexy Jutsu'?"
"Heh heh heh, about that…."
Back at the academy, Naruto had a lump on his head and a slight black eye. A young, purplish-haired, white-eyed girl named Hinata Hyuga was worried about him when she saw the small injuries.
'Oh Naruto, what did you do this time?' you see, Hinata has had a crush on our little demon holder for quite some time, ever since he stood up for her to a group of bullies, although his scarf was ruined and he was beat up miserably. Actually, it was more than a crush, she was in love with him, and unbeknownst to her, Naruto secretly felt the same way about her.
Naruto got the strange feeling that someone was staring at him from behind, so he looked back to see Hinata looking concerned for his health. So, blushing, he waved at her. She saw this, and also blushing, waved back.
"Okay class, today I want you to practice the Transformation Jutsu, all you have to do is turn into me."
"Alright! This is a piece of cake! Believe it!"
"SIT DOWN YOU BLONDE IDIOT! IF YOU DON'T I'M GONNA PUMMEL YOU!"
~Gulp~ "Okay Sakura."
"Okay, please line up in alphabetical order."
So the class did as Iruka said, and one by one, they all transformed into a likeness of Iruka, all the way to Naruto.
"Alright it's my turn! I'm gonna get this, ya know? Transform!"
In a puff of smoke, Naruto disappeared, and in his place, stood an exact, lifelike, perfect copy of Iruka, and then Naruto grabbed Iruka and started to spin, and when they stopped it was impossible for the class to tell which one was which.
'Heh heh, thanks for the help, Kurama."
"Anytime, Naruto, anytime, although I am disappointed that we didn't get to showcase that Sexy Jutsu of yours."
'Some other time Big K, some other time."
"Okay, be sure to use it against your father's teacher, Jiraiya, and his only living student, Kakashi Hatake, okay Orange Storm."
'You bet, fuzzbutt.'
"Whiskers."
'9k.'
"Ooo, that's a good one, can't top that, since 9k literally means nine thousand, but in this terminology, it is the number of tails I have, and the fact that my name starts with a k. Nice."
'I thought you'd like it, I should probably end the Jutsu now.'
And in another puff of smoke, Naruto was back, and everyone else in the room just stood there, jaws dropped, at the fact that Naruto Uzumaki, dead last, the one with the lowest grades, pulled off a flawless Transformation, even Sasuke Uchiha and Shino Aburame had their jaws dropped.
"Heh heh, what?"
"Class, I think we all know who's getting his first A today."
The students just nodded their heads dumbly, and little did they know, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was laughing his ass off at what he was seeing through his crystal ball.
The next day, after Naruto had cleaned the graffiti, apologized to Sarutobi, and eaten ramen with Iruka at Ichiraku's, and trying to convince him to let him wear his ninja headband the day before, the class was getting ready to take the academy graduation exam, which Kurama explained was just a way to see who could become possible Genin, and that the real exam to determine whether or not they became ninja was done by their Jonin instructor. It had consisted of a taijutsu test, and target test, a genjutsu test, and finally, a Clone Jutsu test. Naruto had passed the taijutsu, target, and genjutsu tests fairly easy, thanks to the coaching he received from Kurama, but when the Clone test came around, they were both nervous, the point of the exam was to pass every part, if you failed one you failed the whole thing, and the Clone Jutsu was Naruto's worst, it was the only one he couldn't do, he had too much chakra, they'd either materialize alive but with bad details, or dead and disperse almost instantly.
'Okay, here's hoping for a miracle.' He formed the handsign for the Jutsu, and, "Clone Jutsu!"
In a puff of smoke, a pale, dead illusory copy of Naruto appeared.
"Naruto, YOU FAIL!"
"Come on Iruka, cut him some slack, he did pass all the other aspects of the exam, and he did manage to summon a clone."
"Yeah Mizuki, but everyone else made at least five clones, and he only made one, and a dead one at that. I'm sorry Naruto, but you've failed the exam for the third year in a row, I know you tried your hardest, but this is an all-pass exam, you either pass all aspects, or you fail the whole thing, better luck next year."
After class, all the students who had passed were being congratulated by their parents, except for two, Sasuke and Hinata, Sasuke because, he, like Naruto, was an orphan, except he actually knew his parents, and Hinata because, her clan thought she was weak and useless, so they just leaned and sat, respectively, against the tree that Naruto always hang around at on the swing. The three of them just stayed there and watched, somewhat jealous of the other kids having their parents congratulate them, no matter how embarrassing, each for their own reasons.
"Hey, look over there, by the tree, the last Uchiha and the Hyuga heiress are hanging out with that kid." A woman who came to congratulate her child said to another.
"Isn't he the boy who,"
"Shhhh, we can't talk about that here."
Later, Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata were hanging out on top of the apartment building that Naruto lived in, watching the sunset, Naruto had put up a powerful genjutsu that was hard to detect and even harder to dispell to hide them from the prying eyes of the Hyuga clan and the shinobi council. Mizuki walked up to them and sat down next to Naruto.
"So, I'm guessing you put up a genjutsu to hide Sasuke and Hinata from the higher ups, considering no one has tried to take them home yet. You know, you'd be a very powerful shinobi, you really should've graduated, Hell, I think you'd get put on a team with Sasuke and Hinata here and be a team more powerful than the Sannin, and maybe even the Senju brothers."
Naruto knew that Mizuki was trying to trick him, Mizuki hated Naruto, and the Leaf Village, he was probably trying to convince Naruto to do something that would get him into bigger trouble than his pranks, and possibly help Mizuki destroy the Leaf in some way. But Naruto listened anyways.
"I know of a way for you to graduate even though you failed the exam, all you gotta do is sneak into the Hokage's office and steal a big green scroll, learn a Jutsu from it, and report back to Iruka to receive your headband."
Sasuke and Hinata perked up at the mention of a possibility that their friend could graduate, especially if it means that they could be on a team together. Naruto knew it was a trap, the scroll Mizuki had described was the forbidden scroll that contained all the secret Jutsu that belonged to the village, even certain clan Jutsus, but he could learn them all, because he had a demon fox who could give him any power he asked for, especially since they're best friends. So he decided to do it, he new Hiruzen was a pervert, so this was the perfect opportunity for him to showcase his Sexy Jutsu.
"Okay Mizuki, you have a deal, but Sasuke and Hinata will be going with me."
"But why would you want them to go with you?" 'Damn, he's ruining my plan.'
"Because, even though they already graduated, they could use some of the Jutsu in that scroll."
'This kid is really messing up everything, but oh well, once they get arrested after I steal the scroll from them, the Leaf will lose the last Uchiha and the Hyuga heiress, so not only will the demon brat probably be killed, but the village will lose two members of two of the most powerful clans they have, they will have to banish them, and label them as rogue ninja, then Lord Orochimaru can have the Sharingan and the Byakugan! Ha! I'll be killing three birds with one stone!' "I can't argue with that, you always were smarter than you look."
That night Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata all snuck out of their bedrooms and headed for the Hokage tower in the center of the village. Once they got there, they jumped up to the window of the Hokage's office, Hiruzen was working late finishing paperwork, the worst thing about being a Kage. The window was conveniently open, so they climbed in, tiptoed to the Hokage vault, which was open since the elderly Hokage was looking at some older scrolls from inside it. They found the forbidden scroll, grabbed it, tied it to Naruto's back, and attempted to sneak back out the window.
"Stop right there you three!"
They turned around to see Hiruzen standing there, looking right at them with seemingly real scowl on his face, Naruto could see through it since Kurama could sense people's emotions, and started walking toward them.
'Damn, we're caught, so much for helping Naruto graduate! Hinata looks like she's about to faint too!'
'Oh dear! What do we do?! The Hokage discovered us and we're going to be in trouble, I'm sorry Naruto!'
'Ha! This is perfect! Now I can finally show off my Sexy Jutsu!' "Transform!"
In a puff of smoke, Naruto has replaced with a beautiful blonde girl, who was completely naked, but her feminine parts were hidden by smoke. Hiruzen was surprised to see Naruto do this, and after seeing the nude beauty before him, he passed out with a tremendous nosebleed.
Sasuke just chuckled at what Naruto had just done, he didn't pass out, he had seen Naruto do this Jutsu before, and so had Hinata, but neither of them expected it to defeat the Hokage. Naruto deactivated the Jutsu.
"Come on guys, we don't have time for laughs, we need to get to the training area where Mizuki said to go, right outside training ground 44, the Forest of Death."
So the trio set off in the direction of the place that was nicknamed "The Snake Mistress's Playground" so they could learn some new Jutsu.
When they got to their destination, they sat down and opened the scroll, and inside was a wide assortment of Jutsu. But what really got Naruto's attention were two things, one, a technique called the "Shadow Clone Jutsu" which requires a large amount of Chakra, and creates physical copies of the user, instead of just an illusion, but also allows the original to receive the memories of a dispersed clone, gaining their experience, making it easier to learn new things, and the other, was a seal that read "Namikaze clan's great treasure of the Leaf." Now this intrigued Naruto, considering that he had a large amount of Chakra, and that he was a Namikaze, so he decided that it was finally time to tell his two closest friends the truth, about his parents, about his past, about everything.
"Hey, uh, Sasuke, Hinata, I have something I need to tell you guys."
"What is it Blondie?"
"Yes, what is it Naruto?"
"Well, the thing is, my father was the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze,"
"Well that was obvious."
"I-it was?"
"Yeah, me and Hinata figured that out a long time ago. You didn't really believe people would take your resemblance to the Fourth as a coincidence, did you? The civilians might, but a few of the shinobi population didn't."
"Oh, okay, but I also,"
"Have the Nine-Tailed Fox, whose real name is apparently Kurama, sealed inside you and are on good terms with him?"
"How did you,"
"You talk out loud when you communicate with him."
"Wow Hinata! You didn't stutter once!"
"Yes, I've built up a lot of confidence hanging out with you and Sasuke."
"Okay, but what you might not know is that my mother was Kushina Uzumaki, the previous Jinchuriki of Kurama, aka the Red Hot Habanero."
"Wait, you mean to tell us that our mothers and our fathers were all friends with each other?"
"Yep. I also learned from Kurama the truth about the attack 14 years ago."
"Really, what happened Naruto?"
"Well Hinata, it wasn't Kurama's fault, he was being controlled by a man thought to have died a hero, Obito Uchiha, who was able to control him using the Wood Style that the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju possessed, just like Madara Uchiha before him, which, just like Madara and that old war hawk Danzo Shimura, he gained by implanting himself with Hashirama's cells. But he got them from a genetic copy of Hashirama and Madara, known as Zetsu, a member of the Akatsuki, allowing Obito the potential to gain the Rinnegan, which you obtain by having Senju and Uchiha blood. The thing is, Obito used to be one of my father's students, and Kakashi Hatake's best friend."
"Whoa, just, whoa. That's rough, so your parents are dead, Iruka-sensei's parents are dead, and my entire clan is dead all because Madara and Obito were able to control Kurama? Damn it, wait, Itachi must have known about this, the clan must have heard rumors that must have been raised that the Sharingan could control Kurama, so to avoid being evicted from the village, they must have planned a coup, that explains why my father was always at some sort of meeting, and Itachi must have been given an order to assassinate the clan members who were a part of the coup. But why would Itachi do it? Even if he was ordered, there's no way he would kill family members, especially Father, without a reason. Wait a minute, the massacre occurred on the same day as Shisui died! Shisui had the fabled Mangekyo Sharingan, and an ocular Jutsu that allowed him to subliminally control people, the original plan must have been for Shisui to use his Jutsu, the Kotoamatsukami, to prevent the coup by making the clan members involved give up on it. Someone, I'm guessing old Danzo, must've wanted the clan dead, because of his twisted ideas on how to protect the village, so he must have taken at least one Shisui's eyes, leaving the plan ruined, Shisui must have given his other eye to Itachi, so Danzo couldn't get to it. I get it now Shisui must have committed suicide, most likely jumped off the cliff he and Itachi would hang out at, Giving Itachi the power of the Mangekyo! Because Shisui once told me that the rumors about having to kill your best friend were false, he said that all it takes is to witness, or believe you have witnessed, the death of someone close to you. But that still raises the question. Why would Itachi kill all of the clan, even the ones who weren't part of the coup?"
"That bastard Danzo must've ordered some of his Foundation ninjas to kill off everyone else, and I bet Obito helped, so he could get Itachi to join the Akatsuki, because even if it is an order, killing your clan is a crime that'll cause you to become a rogue ninja. Didn't Itachi also say that he wanted you to hate him, to come after him when you were strong enough, and kill him?"
"Yeah, he did, but I think I know why, Itachi loved his village, he loved me, his younger brother, and he knew about the deaths of the innocents, but he didn't want to waste any time explaining it, so he must've told me to kill him because he must've already been dying! He might have had that disease that slowly eats away at your Chakra, the one that nobody knows how to cure, except possibly the First's granddaughter, Tsunade Senju. It all makes sense now!"
"But, why tell us all this now? Don't you trust us Naruto?"
"I trust you guys, it's just that, I was waiting till we were older to tell you, because I was kind of embarrassed, especially about what I'm going to say now."
{What?}
"Okay, that was weird, you guys just said that at the same time. But anyway, what I wanted to say was, ~Gulp~ I love you Hinata."
"Y-y-you do?!"
"Yeah, and I know that you love me too, because Kurama has the power to sense emotions. But there's one other thing I need to tell you, it's about the seal at the bottom of the scroll, it says 'Namikaze clan's great treasure of the Leaf.' It pretty much belongs to me since I am a Namikaze, and the last one at that!"
"Well what are you waiting for? Unlock that seal!"
"Right, Seal Release!"
So Naruto channeled Chakra into the seal, in glowed, and then in a puff of smoke, out popped, a map.
"A map? Well, let's see where this map leads. Let's go guys!"
So they followed the map to where it lead, which wasn't very far considering it was in the Forest of Death, and when they reached their destination, they found a lake that was surrounded by an abundance of mist. But the map didn't stop there, in fact, it stopped on the other side of the lake.
When they reached the other side, the saw a small cliff, and at the top of the cliff, there was a sword embedded into the stone.
"A sword? Cool! I've always wanted a sword!"
"I'll get it for you Naruto."
"Really? Thanks 'Nata!"
"You're welcome." So she hopped up onto the cliff and grabbed the handle of the sword, when she try to dislodge it, it wouldn't budge!
"Here, let me get it Hinata."
"Thank you Sasuke." So then Sasuke tried to remove it, but it still didn't move!
"Okay, let me try."
"Seriously man? Neither one of us could move it. What chance do you have?"
"Well, it is the treasure of the Namikaze clan, and I am a Namikaze, so maybe it'll work for me."
"He does pose a pretty good point Sasuke."
"Fine, do whatever the hell you want, but don't come crying to me when you can't get it out!" he sat down at the base of the cliff with his arms crossed.
~Shank!~ "What'd you say Sasuke?"
Sasuke looked up to see Naruto holding the sword in the air, with the fog beginning to clear.
~Yawn!~ "Greetings young man, wait, you're the one who is to become king? You're so scrawny it's hard to believe that you are descended from the great King Arthur! And you are nothing but a knave, an apprentice, you probably don't even know how to wield a blade!"
"Ah! The sword is talking!"
"It's scary!"
"What the hell kind of sword is that thing?"
~Ahem~ "I'll have you know that I am Caliburn, a sacred sword! And only one who is descended from Arthur Namikaze, the great King of Camelot, can draw me from the stone! Meaning that they are to become king!"
"Wait, Naruto's a KING?"
"Technically he is still but a prince, unless he can prove himself worthy in battle or reaches a certain age can he officially become king, and rule over a vast majority of this world inhabited by ninja!"
"So that means if I marry Naruto then I'll become a princess?"
"Hinata, you technically already are a princess, heiress to the Hyuga clan. Remember?"
"Wait, did you say heiress to the Hyuga clan?"
"Yeah."
"Then that means you are descended from Lady Percival, one of Arthur's Knights of the Round Table. The Knights of the Table were among the bravest and most skilled knights, and they all could use ninjutsu."
{Cool!}
"Yes, well, I see you have a scroll tied to your back my lord, so does that mean that you, Lady Hinata, and the duck-haired boy are training to learn knew techniques?"
"We sure are."
"Well my lord, how would you like for me to teach you and your friends the way of the knight while we're at it, I am going to be with you for the rest of your life, young knave."
"Why the hell were you calling me 'my lord' then all of a sudden you start calling me 'knave'!"
"Because Sire, you are still but a knave in the ranks of a knight."
"Oh, well, when I become stronger that'll change, because I'm Naruto Uzumaki, the next King of Camelot! And I'm going to make my own Knights of the round table, but they're all going to have to be ninja or samurai to start out, because there aren't any knights left in the world, they've been gone for thousands of years."
"I've been in that rock for thousands of years?!"
"Yep."
"Oh well, I guess it couldn't be helped, anyhow, If you are going to start a new Table, then you should probably start with the descendants of the original members, Lancelot, the head of the Uchiha clan, and his son Galahad, who is your ancestor, the son of Arthur, Mordred Namikaze's half-brother, because they have the same mother, Queen Gweneviere, the wife of Arthur, Arthur and Lancelot had a slight hatred toward each other because of their shared affection for her, Gawain, head of the Inuzuka clan, Percival, as you already know, she was the head of the Hyuga clan and Lady Hinata's ancestor, her brother Lamorak, who's descendants might have overlapped with his sister's at some point, meaning perhaps one of Lady Hinata's siblings if she has any, or maybe a first cousin. And then you can add whom ever you desire."
"Wait, did you just say that one of the Knights of the Table was the head of the Uchiha clan, and that his son was a member as well?"
"Indeed. Why?"
"Because my name is Sasuke Uchiha, and I'm the heir to the Uchiha clan since my brother was removed after the killing of the rest of the clan."
"I see then, since you are the one who will become the head of your clan, you will get Sir Lancelot's Sword, and your brother, if you can convince him to join you, shall receive Galahad's, unless he should die, then it shall go to your first born child."
"Thank you."
"You do not need to thank me, it is your birthright."
"Okay, so Inuzuka clan head, oh no, that means we'll have to recruit that jerk Kiba!"
"If this Kiba character is unruly, then we shall just have to discipline him."
"Okay, that just leaves Lamorak's heir, Hinata's little sister Hanabi is out of the question, she's too young, so that leaves her cousin Neji. He'd probably be surprised to hear that he has a birthright other than that stupid Caged Bird Seal."
"C'mon King Blondie, let's hurry up and train!"
"If I may be so rude as to interrupt, but do you not need the swords of your ancestors first?"
"Who said that?"
"I young Naruto, am Nimue, the Lady of the Lake, Lancelot's mother, and Arthur's aunt. I am also the one who created the Sacred Swords. And I shall give them to you, Sasuke and Hinata, take these swords, Arondight, the sword of my son, and Laevetin, the sword of the Mistress of the 64 Blades."
"64 Blades? Like the Eight Trigrams: 64 Palms?"
"Yes, exactly like that Jutsu, except used with a bladed weapon."
"Uh, pardon me ma'am, but why do you look like this girl that we know named Sakura Haruno?"
"Because I am her ancestor as well."
"Great, I'm related to the fricken' banshee, and the sad thing is, out of all those stupid fan-girls, she is the only one who is still infatuated with me even though I hang out with Naruto."
"That is because it is more than mere infatuation, she truly loves you."
"I was afraid of that."
Nimue then handed Arondight, Laevetin, and the other swords over to our heroes, who sealed away the extras into a small scroll Naruto always carries with him in case he has to go on a mission the requires more gear than his cheap backpack can hold. And began training, Sasuke decided to learn Madara Uchiha's favorite Jutsu, Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation, Naruto learned the Shadow Clone Jutsu, and Hinata learned how to use the Eight Trigrams: 64 Blades technique that Percival had invented, practicing on Naruto's clones that he had reinforced to be able to last until the 64th slash was delivered.
They had decided to rest when they had learned their Jutsus, especially when Naruto inform Sasuke, Hinata, and Caliburn of Mizuki's true plans. So that they'd be ready when Mizuki came to steal the scroll from them and leave them to be arrested.
"Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata! I've finally found you three. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING STEALING THE FORBIDDEN SCROLL LIKE THAT?! Because of your stupidity, you have been accused of treason by Mizuki."
"Yeah? Well your old buddy Mizuki is the one who sent us near here as a trap! And I saw through it right from the beginning!"
"What?! Mizuki tried to trick you, you knew about it, and yet you did it anyway, why?"
"To each learn one Jutsu from this scroll, for me to be able to finally graduate so we could be put on the same damn team! And we didn't just learn Jutsu, we also found a map that belonged to my family, which led us here to the Misty Lake, where I drew this talking sword out of a cliff," he emphasized his point by raising Caliburn up so he could be face to face with Iruka and say hello, "learned that I am to become king of a kingdom called Camelot that the Five Great Nations reside in, and learned how to wield swords and be knights from the afore mentioned sword! All in all Mizuki's little scheme helped us out!"
Iruka looked like he heard something, and Naruto could feel Mizuki's presence thanks to Kurama.
"Kids, get down now!" Iruka pushed them all down to the ground.
~Thunk!~ A bunch of shurikens became embedded into the side of the cliff.
"Iruka, why are you protecting the very thing that killed your parents, and these children that he's obviously brainwashed?! Don't tell me you've been brainwashed too?"
"Mizuki, we're not allowed to talk about what happened 14 years ago, it's the law!"
"It's okay Iruka-sensei, I already know who he's talking about, I've already met him, and we've become friends, he's sorry for what he did, but it wasn't his fault, he was under the control of a man who is a member of the Akatsuki and wears a mask that only reveals his right eye. Hey Mizuki! That's old news ya loser! I ain't no fox! I'm Naruto Uzumaki, no, I'm Naruto Namikaze, the son of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and I am going to become king of Camelot, just like my ancestor Arthur before me! With my Sacred Sword Caliburn by my side, there's no way I can lose! Especially when I have my Knights of the round table fighting along with me! Ready Caliburn?"
"Indeed."
"Sasuke?"
"Hell yeah!"
"Hinata?"
"Right!"
"Let's Go!" He formed a cross-shaped handsign. "Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
In several puffs of smoke appeared 99 physical copies of Naruto and Caliburn, all taking sword stances with the blades of the great swords held out forward, while Sasuke held his longsword backhanded, and Hinata held her rapier in a revised version of her family's famous Gentle Fist style, Byakugan active.
Mizuki stood there in shock, here were three children with swords and who knows what other Jutsu they learned from that scroll. "No, this can't be possible! There's no way you're the Fourth's son, that's impossible! And a demon can't become king!"
Naruto had enough of Mizuki's whining. "Shut the hell up! I'm tired of your shit Mizuki! Everyone, ATTACK!"
And on command Naruto, his clones, Sasuke, and Hinata all attacked Mizuki, nothing lethal, but still painful. By the time they were done with him, he was covered all over with cuts, big and small, and he was lying on the ground mumbling about demons taking over the world.
Iruka was surprised by the teamwork of the three (Naruto dispersed his clones) children before him, he new in his heart they were all worthy to become ninja, so he decided that it was time Naruto finally got what he deserved. "Hey Naruto!"
"What is it Sensei?"
"I want you to come here while you all have your eyes closed, I have a surprise for all of you, I know it'll make jump with joy."
"Okay." 'I wonder what Iruka-sensei's going to do.'
"It's obvious that he's going to take his headband off his forehead, put it on your forehead, and tell you that finally, after three failing years, graduate."
'I kind of figured that, and plus this seal is designed so that your Chakra gradually becomes part of mine, so I'm starting to be able to sense emotions too.'
"Okay you three, you can open your eyes now." Sasuke and Hinata gasped at what they saw, tied around Naruto's head, was a blue Hidden Leaf headband!
"Congrats Naruto, after failing three years in a row, you graduate!"
"Woohoo! Go Naruto!"
"Yes, this is a good thing Naruto, now you're one step closer to becoming king!"
"Oh, so you were still nothing more than just an apprentice, now you are a knave."
"Caliburn! SHUT UP!"
Iruka, Sasuke, and Hinata started laughing at the display made by the future king and his sword, while back at the village, Hiruzen was explaining everything he saw through his crystal ball to the shinobi and civilian council along with all the Jonin ninja who went looking for the trio of knights. All in all, they knew that this was the start of something big.
HeliX: So, what'd you think? Please review, and yes, this is a NaruHina story. For all of you who are confused, I just like the idea of Naruto and Kurama being friends, so I decided that in this story, they are friends throughout his entire shinobi career. I don't like how Sasuke is such a jerk, for those who are mad because you think that since he is already best friends with Naruto that he won't go off and train with Orochimaru, don't worry, he'll still get the Curse Mark, he'll still train with Orochimaru, but when he kills him, he just goes to do what Itachi wanted him to do, kill him before the disease does and receive the Mangekyo Sharingan, meaning Sasuke will have the Amaterasu, Susanoo, Tsukuyomi, inherit the Totsuka Blade from Itachi's Susanoo, along with Kotoamatsukami, Izanami, and Danzo's Izanagi. If anyone can guess who Naruto will convince to join his knights in chapter three, I will use any suggestion you make for the story, unless it's stupid, I don't like it, or I believe it doesn't help the story in any way. I will also take suggestions that I like even if you don't guess correctly, I just like to make my stories better.
Naruto: And feel free to ask any of the characters questions, any questions.
HeliX: This is GunHeliXmon signing off. See ya!
