AN: I am quite proud to be one of the very few authors that have thought to attempt a Naruto/Highlander crossover. There is a slight problem with this. I've been knocking the idea around since I first discovered fanfiction. I currently have three unique time period ideas with an average of 5 different way of doing each. To get on with my point I'll be writing my easiest option first. Enjoy the randomness.
Prologue part 1
First death
A flash. That's all I remember of the end of the fight. A bright purple flash. Kyu-kun tells me I scratched the temes headband. I don't remember it though. *Sigh* I feel so tired. I wonder if obaa-chan will be able send someone to retrieve me.
"I doubt it kittling."
I figured as much. Couldn't you have just let me die with hope?
"... sorry kit."
It's ok. Oh look Kakashi-teme is here.
"Go to sleep kit he'll get you home safely. Even though it's only to keep Tsunade from killing him."
Alright Kyu I'm too tired to stay awake. Watch after my body.
"No problem kit rest now."
Kakashi and a small pug dog crouch down by Naruto. Kakashi then grabs the fallen hitae-iate (sp?). "*Sigh* Pakkun we're taking the Demon back. Sasuke is to far away right now."
The small dog, now revealed to be Pakkun, then says. "Is it wise to take this thing back? You could finish what Sasuke started with another chidori."
Kakashis response was shocking to Kyuubi. "It's a good plan Pakkun. It's not like Tsunade will be able to tell it was my chidori that killed him. However, Sasuke needs to kill him otherwise he won't get the power he needs." Pakkun then agreed. At that point Kyuubi was ready to get out and gut Kakashi followed by that yappy little mutt.
"Alright Pakkun let's hit the path. Maybe if I take the rough long route Naruto might die thus giving Sasuke get the mangekyou?" Kakashi then took off with the bleeding body of Naruto tossed roughly over his shoulder. Pakkun followed with Sasukes headband in his mouth.
Narrators PoV
After many hours of travel Hatake Kakashi finally arrived at one of the gates of the Konoha. He ran as quickly as he could through the market street. Word was past on that the Kyuubi brat was greatly injured. By the time that Kakashi arrived at the hospital Tsunade had arranged for a surgical room to be prepared as well as a quick response med team. Unfortunately by the time they started to give him blood he had already... snuffed it.
Later, after sending the body to the cold storage room, Tsunade announced Narutos death and failure to the Konoha twelve. The results were mixed. Teams 10 and Gai were saddened. Sakura tried to get into the storage room to more mutilate his body. Team 8 well... Shino wasn't back yet and Kiba was in intensive care still knocked out. Hinata? Hinata was heart broken and went home thinking only of the fact she failed. She knew that this was a sign that she was a complete failure. After all she loved the most hated person in the village, she couldn't move through the jyuuken forms easily, she liked weapons and medical jutsu more than taijutsu, and she was so shy. Maybe she should just end it all so she was out of her families' way... maybe even give her father a reason to have her killed or even to kill her.
When she arrived at the family compound she found that the council was in session there she decided to do it now no sense keeping Naruto waiting for her. She approached the door to the council chambers two branch members stood guard outside.
"Stand down 'lady' Hinata. We don't want to... 'Hurt' you." the guard on the left said.
Hinata said, "Back off Hiro I don't want your family to suffer."
Hiro didn't believe her and signaled for the other to attack. The guard rushed forward only to fall dead a foot away from her when she touched his outstretched hand. Hiro was now scared and asked, "How did you do that?"
"I warned you Hiro." Hinata said as she reached forward as if to touch him. Hiro tried to ward her off by raising a hand. However, as soon as she touched it he felt as is if something inside him had just exploded. As he collapsed all he could think is 'What a fool I was.' Hinata kept walking towards the door. She stopped right before taking one last look at her life. Then she kicked the door off it's hinges sending it flipping end over end into the council chambers.
As the door flew into the room, several of the older elders struggled to get out of the way. It hit one elder, who was to slow to get out of the way, on the head killing him instantly. Hinata strode forward purposely as two more branch members rushed her with hands outstretched. One of the elders who hated her watched this happening while smirking. Next thing he knew he saw her a foot past the guards as they collapsed forwards onto the ground. All he could think is it was just a trick.
"What the... what did you just do daughter?" Haishi asked.
"Chuckle* Daughter that's funny Haishi. Since when have I been your daughter?" Hinata asked sill chuckling. "I was never your daughter and now I will show you how far I am from being your daughter."
"I doubt that will happen Hinata. Everyone attack her!" Haishi shouted then charged as did every elder and branch member there. Hinata backed up into the open doorway and said a quiet prayer for the branch family members "Go to Kami." As each Hyuuga reached out to hit her she would gently touch their open palm taking a step forward. Body after body fell until before her there were 4 council members and her father.
"You shouldn't be this powerful we placed a seal on you!" A council member shouted
"You can't possibly be my daughter." The foolish clan head said, "You are a demon."
"Then execute me 'Father'. Oh wait you don't have enough power. You should try something before the Hyuuga are no longer is strong enough to save themselves." Hinata taunted.
She rushed towards the council member that mentioned the seal. He tried to land an attack but she only touched his hand then redirected it towards her left causing his body to fall that way.
As the body fell she quickly flipped over it to get away from any counter attack. As she landed she noticed something wrong her father wasn't standing by the others. Then she felt him behind her. 'Darn I didn't even finish my job oh well I'll let him hit a lung then finish them off.' She moved slightly to her left as her father hit her back. Sending her flipping forward. Then standing before the last two elders winked before plunging her only two kunai into their hearts. Then turned and stared at her father. He was on the ground struggling to breathe quite obviously dieing. She then smiled went to the doorway closed the door turned and fell forward dead.
Tsunade was in her office crying when the news of what happened to the Hyuuga arrived. She instructed the Hyuuga bodies to be moved from the room then burned save Hinatas. She had known of Hinatas crush on Naruto and so decided they'd be buried next to each other. So she had Hinatas body placed into the cold storage room at the hospital so they'd be in the same place and easily moved later.
Later that evening Tsunade was in her office drinking with Jariaya they were drinking in memory of the two best genins ever. When a hospital attendant rushed in saying there is a problem with Naruto and Hinatas body. Next moment Tsunade and Jaraiya shunshinned into the hallway outside the storage room. "What's the problem Ryuu?" Tsunade asked.
Ryuu stuttered out, "W-Well... I-I-I don't no for sure ma'am. You should go look for yourself." Ryuu stuttering this had never happened before. Even Jaraiya knew this. Both Sannin could only think 'WTF is happening'. Tsunade took one last glance at the scared anbu lieutenant. Then glanced at Jaraiya he looked her straight in the eye and nodded. She then did what anyone else would do when walking into an unknown situation... she kicked the door in.
The dramatic and intimidating effect that Tsunade was hoping for was ruined by the fact that all the hinges in the hospital were Tsunade-strength-proof. His was because she liked to kick them in quite often. However, the door flew open as she and Jaraiya rushed in eyes temporarily blind because of the sudden lack of light. After a moment their eyes at last adjusted. It was Tsunade that saw it first. Someone impersonating Naruto was sitting by Hinatas gurney crying. She motioned for Jaraiya to approach him and check him. Jaraiya was slowly drawing near to the impersonator when the figure said. "Ero-sannin it's really me. How did she die?"
Jaraiya gave Tsunade a look as if to ask her to explain. "Gaki she died killing the Hyuuga council. You should be proud of her. She succeeded after all."
He sniffed one more time tears still falling, "Did she also get her father?"
"Yeah gaki she got him. But he landed a killing blow on her before he snuffed it. He was the only one that landed a hit... it killed him. We decided to let her ability go with her to the grave we burned the bodies not checking what she did." Jaraiya said patting him on the back.
"Thanks... Jaraiya-sensei... Tsunade... I'm sure she would appreciate it. After all it was something she figured out watching me. She kept it secret all this time. I'm sure she would prefer to keep it that way."
Jaraiya was shocked Tsunade as well. Naruto invented what she did?' Was it that shocking to them? ...yes it was. After all Naruto was always being an idiot. How
could he possibly have invented anything apart from that stupid hentai jutsu?
"I know what you're thinking Ero-sannin. I didn't really create it. I was talking about things I wish I could do with her. Then, right before the 3rd chunnin exam, she told me she had succeeded in creating a knock off of it." Naruto said tears still in his eyes.
Jaraiya just had to ask him. "What was it Naruto? What did she create?"
"A chakra bomb." Naruto then sighed before continuing, "The caster needs to be absolutly calm but incredibly angry to do it. Then just touch someone placing in chakra latent in feelings. If anyone is angry, panicky, or tries to attack you or anyone else they'll die from a network explosion. On the flipside, if the person is calm, happy, or seeks only to help someone it creates a telepathic bond for about a minute. It's good for fighting in teams. But only if you can remain calm."
What did the sannin think of this attack? You could describe Jaraiya as, 'You can knock but no ones home or even in the same universe.' Tsunade? Tsunade could only think, 'How did sensei neglect two such talented genin? They should have been put together with a sensei that would help them.' Then it occoured to her that perhaps academy senseis had noticed and had kept this seceret from him. Perhaps they even seperated Hinata from Naruto just so they could further put down both. Not allowing them to help each other through their problems. 'It didn't work though did it? *chuckle* they only made Hinata realize she loved him. But if Naruto had these ideas... why didn't he try to make them?'
The sannin had thought of the question at the same time. And then again at the same time asked, "Gaki/Brat, why didn't you try to invent this jutsu?"
At this Naruto started chukling darkly. "Really you think that I would still be alive if I could do such a thing at such time? ... You know Hinata-chan offered to teach me the attack. I really would have liked to have learned it. B-B-But this cursed village has kept me from learning anything that could help me. Now I have nothing to remind me of her. Obaa-chan... what am I going to do? I can't stay here the council will try to kill me while insisting that since I'm alive I must be Kyuubi." While he was speaking his tears started flowing harder.
Tsunade felt like crying for him too. Jaraiya had a suggestion, "Gaki, you could come with me quietly we'll leave tonight."
"... Sure Sensei... I'l go with you. Anywhere to get away from here."
"C-Can I c-come with you, N-Naruto-kun?"
"NANI?!?!?!?!" shouted Jaraiya, Tsunade and Naruto.
"I-I said---" By this time Naruto had figured out who was talking and tackled Hinata off the gurney in a hug. Jaraiya and Tsunade were still shocked. 'Why aren't they dead?'Time stopped suddenly when a kunai flew into the room landing right where Hinatas head had been. As the Sannin looked around trying to find the source of the knife. Naruto noticed there was and exploding tag on its handle.
"GET OUT OF HERE!!!!" Naruto shouted trying to warn the Sannin as he grabbed Hinata and tried to run. All of a sudden the Sannin realized that there was a quiet burning sound. The Sannin then realized what it was and took off after Naruto. As they ran down the hospitals corridor Tsunade realized that the hospital must have been evacuated. As they reached the end of the corridor they realized the only way out in time was through the wall. Naruto took Hinata with him as he jumped through the window while Tsunade punched the wall then ran out of it with Jaraiya following. They kept running only to stop and look back when the hospital exploded.
"Baa-chan... w-what just happened?"
Suddenly six nins appeared in front of them with katanas drawn and wearing anbu masks with the symbol 'NE' on them. "Kyuubi, you have been ordered to stand down and be executed according to the wishes of the council." The lead nin said.
While Naruto put Hinata down Tsunade exclaimed, "NANI?!?!?! They don't have that power and whos anbu are you?"
"Not yours Tsunade-hime." Danzou appeared behind the anbu along with half the council. "I recommend that you submit to the will of the coucil Tsunade. You'll be allowed to live as a figure head for the village then."
"LIKE HE---" Naruto interupted her saying."Danzou leave her, Hinata, and Jaraiya alone and do what you came for."
"Very well Namikaze-san. Captain, carry out your orders."
Tsunade was startled 'How could he know?'"Nani?" She said, "How did you find out Danzou? You shouldn't even have an inkling of his heritage."
"A man should be able to recognize his own childs offspring shouldn't he?" Danzou smirked as everyone one elses anger and blind hate changed to shock. "Carry on captain."
The anbu captain signalled his lieutenant to stab Naruto. As the junior officer ran forward Hinata ran in front of Hinata shielding him. The nin decided he should kill the Demoness as well. Having made his decision he stabbed her in the heart, kicked off her chest, flipped landing a little behind her, and started to charge at Naruto with a helm breaker slash. Right as he took his first step he felt something touch his back. Let us share a moments silence for the death of the 'ELITE' but foolish ninja... ... ... YA RIGHT!!!
The anbu, the Council and Danzoun were stunned... what happened? One moment the heiress was standing off to the side the next she was stabbed in the heart and then her hand lightly touches the anbu officer and he dies. Then one of the stupid council members spoke up, "It's the Kyuubi he took over the heiress as well!"Another Council member spoke up, "Quick kill the beast and retrieve her body."
Meanwhile the captain was trying to figure it out. 'That doesn't explain what happened though... he fell forward as if pushed... but only the girls hand touched his back.'The captain then realized what happened. "Oh crap. GET AWAY FROM HER BODY!" But he had realized it was to late. Two of the anbu had just grabbed her wrists to pick her up. When her body turned into a log(LOGGED!!!{my version of pawnage}). Hinata appeared behind the one of the anbu and stabbed him in the back causing him to fall dead across the log.
The other anbu sliced at her. But Hinata tripped into him over the fallen anbu and onto the sword looked up at him some and, with blood leaking out of her mouth, said, "fooled you... BUNSHIN BAIHAKU(sp?)" She then exploded in such a way that Diedara, the explosions master of Iwa, would have been in tears watching.
Meanwhile, the last two anbu rushed towards Naruto one aiming to stab him in the throat the other to gut him. Naruto smirked right before they 'killed' him. But as it turns out elite ninja really suck at chakra sensing or else they'd have realized that they had just killed a Kage Bunshin. Then two Narutos ran through the smoke staying below both of the anbus swords. The first clone stabbed the anub on the left in a lung just to watch the anbu struggle to live. The other clone had a rasengan charged in his hand as he dashed towards the other living anbu he spun around a sword slash and slammed the attack into the anbus head rearranging the anbus priorities at the source.
At this point Danzou knew he was screwed. After all it was apparent from the beginning that his grandson was a shadow clone. 'He must have stolen the heiress away.'"Captain... get me my army." At this command the Captain shunshined away.
A voice echoed around the area then, "Tsunade take Hinata and run Shizune is already dead. Jaraiya I'll need your help against my... grandfather." As Tsunade turned to leave Hinata appeared in her path running pell mell back towards Jaraiya and presumably Naruto.
"Oh no you don't!" Tsunade huffed as she grabbed Hinata around the waist pulling her along after. She could hear and feel the reinforcements appear back where Jaraiya was but she still couldn't feel Naruto. All of a sudden a the sound of many birds was heard off to her right. She jumped back knocking Hinata backwards as well. Kakashi zoomed past thrusting a Chidori into the building that they had just been about to pass.
"Kakashi!!!" Tsunade screeched at him. "What are you doing your supposed to be help---" She was interrupted by a flying kick to the head.
"Don't worry hokage. I, Matio Gai, shall rescue you from the demons hip and UNYOUTHFUL control! Kakashi my eternal rival you rescue Hinata." The Matio Fool, Gai, said while pounding his chest like a gorilla when threatened.
"I shall help dear sensei..." Gais chibi copy said.
"YOSH well done my YOUTHFUL apprentice!" After this they seemed to go off on a tangent that the author of this fic feels is best left uncharted.
"*chuckle* You forgot about me." Anko had appeared wielding... dango sticks... {"Anko what are you doing with dango sticks?" "Shut up and go along with it!" "Fine but you oh me Pocky."}
"*AHEM* If I help destroy the Kyuubis taint the council will clear my record. I shall not lose."
After this it is best for the sanity of the author and those reading. That I the author just sum up what happens.
The fight between Jaraiya and Naruto versus the entire anbu forces, both Ne and village forces, was long and bloody. by the end of it Jaraiya had lost an arm and an eye before finally succumbing to the loss of blood. Before his passing both he and Naruto succeeded in killing off most of the villages anbu and all of Danzous secret Ne anbu. After Jaraiya fell Naruto felt it was time to show the coucnil just how mad they had made him. Isn't it lucky for them he didn't have to hunt them down. he killed every single council member on the scene. He did leave his grandfather alive... mostly alive... ok he left him a chance to live. However, seeing as the villages top healer had been slain and the other healers were busy trying to save the anbu forces it wasn't very likely that they would be able to heal a torn of arm and leg.
In Tsunades fight? ...Lets just say many of the villages top sensei... only sensei lets be honest... had died trying to kill her. Kakashi finally succeeded after Tsunade ran out of chakra from healing her wounds. Hinata killed him not long after when he tried to hit her with the mystical palm technique. Isn't it funny that most of the villages top shinobi... weren't that... on top? Oh well.
Naruto eventually caught up with the fleeing Hinata at the place where Lee fought Kimimaro. They took off with absolutely nothing... just them, their weapons, and their collective intelligence... and maybe their love for one another.
In unrelated news the loss of so many of the villages 'top' shinobi led to the destruction of Konoha in 6 years later by the Village hidden by the gays... errr... I mean Otogakure.
AN:
5 years after the events of VoE
Two people wearing cloaks with red clouds are walking along the road. One of them has an orange mask and seemed to skip along the otherhad blue skin. They finally arrived at their destination, a small town on the outskirts of Konoha, they then proceed to walk into a bar. After they order they start to listen in on the news and gossip going around.
"Really she did that?" "Sure did and she---" "Price of rice has---" "No way you won that bet." "They wouldn't except my mission---" "Ya and so the Hyuuga are---" Various other things were heard over the din but all of them seemed less and less interesting.
Their saki arrived then. The blue one stopped listening after awhile seeing as the voices seem to merge with one another after a point. As the masked one was about to stop he heard something interesting.
"---Ya and then this girl in a mask came running up and they started banging their swords against each other." As the man mentioned the sword fight he stood up to mock it. "And so then the guy they were fighting well his sword gets knocked out of his hands right. And then the girls companion says something and sheaths his weapon as the girl cuts off his head. Then just as i turn to walk away some white cold comes up from his body and rushes towards her and there is lightning and----"
All of a sudden the man was interupted,"And floods and eartquakes then you finally woke up and had one hell of a hangover right?"
"I told you I was on me way back from Kusa at the time. And their saki is the worst of the land." After the man said that he paid for his booze and left staggering his way out.
"Well that was interesting." The masked man said.
"What was interesting?" His companion asked.
"Oh nothing... let us go see about retrieving the Kyuubi SO THAT PEIN WILL REALIZE THAT TOBI IS A GOOD BOY!!!!"
"Why did I even ask you Tobi?" the blue man said.
"Kisame, could it be because Tobi is a good boy?" At this question Kisame looked ready to bring out his sword and start destroying the pub
"Never mind Tobi. I'll go ask the bartender where we can find the demon spawn we were 'asked to kill'." Kisame then stood up and walked over to the bar to get away from Tobi.
"Well... Tobi guesses that Tobi will find out about this strange cloud later. Guess Tobi shoul let Madara-kun take over for awhile." No sooner than the man, Tobi, was done talking than the feeling around him shifted. "Very well Tobi I shall go talk to the man that just left you wait." He quickly got up and ran after the man that had left leaving Kisame a note.
45 years later(50 years after VoE)
the great upsetting and the time of heroes
The criminal organization known as Akatsuki had been destroyed a while back. While no one could tell you who did it they could tell you this. That whoever had done it was incredibly powerful after all they destroyed all of Rain as well.
Konoha was gone wiped from even the history books bye the village hidden by the gays(Otogakure). And those who were once spoken of as the strongest in the land were now dead. There were a few remaining but not many. Now there are new names spoken of. There are even pairs that would work together that were now famous. The two most well Known are 'Kage Tenshi and Kage' and 'Gesshoku and Sakura'. The last group is the most feared in the land while the first is the most loved.
200 years later (250 years after VoE)
Loss of power
Again the land has changed the great ninja villages have dissappeared and many technolgies have been lost. Currently it is a time when most are going back to farming trying to support the great population that has arisen since the end of war over 100 years ago. Their are still countries but each country is weaker than their earlier counterparts. Still the names of both Kage and Kage Tenshi are remembered.
750 years later (1000 years after VoE)
the time of the great forgetting
A great loss has happened the continent holding the Elemental Nations has sunk beneath the sea giving rise to more land elsewhere allowing more freedom for people; however, due to the sudden shift worldwide the climates have also changed it is now colder than ever. Unfortunately, all of the technoligical advancements have been lost and there are none who remember the old stories. The stories of ninjas and of great powers long since forgotten are now gone. Now is the time of great cold. where humans are struggling to survive amongst the frozen plains northward. Still there are some championed as the greatest and strongest in the land.
2000 years later (4000 after the VoE)
Time of Gods
Strange things have happened in this time. Wars are being fought civilizations dying and being subjected. However, amongst all this a game has started to be played... a game in which there can be only one. The leaders of civiliations are now thought to live forever. Many believe it is true for these men never die. Until finally these men started to die. One by one they would fall each being found with their head by their side. And last but not least stories are being told of beings possessing great wisdom and power.
1000-2500 years after the Time of Gods (5000-6500 after VoE)
reinvention of the human race
Many things that were lost have been rebuilt or 'reforged'. And many new things have been brought to the attention of the world. The most powerful weapon to ever be created has not only been recreated for a time but also surpassed in quantity and quality by gunpowder. Ninjas had there time and when someone tried to recreate them they fell through along with samurai and many other important warriors all thanks to a simple party favor. Heroes no longer are spoken of aas a fact but more of as an ideal. Things that they once accomplished thought of as myths and legends and old stories told to frighten kids. And still great evils hav risen and fallen. One such evil is yaoi... just kidding. Truthfully though one such evil is called Sakura or Cherry no one knows who or what this evil is all they know is it kills anyone that finds out about it.
490 years later (6990 years after VoE)
the last stop
The world now has changed a lot from what it once was over 6000 years ago there are different modes of transport, there are new stories, there are new and better weapons. But one thing hasn't changed and that is war. It still exists and will forever exist as long as there is pain of loss in someones heart. Moving on, one thing has been brought to the attention of many 'near normal' people. Beings such as immortals existed once long ago and they continue to exist today. The immortals that exist now believe only a few things. First, that they are safe on holy ground. Second, that there can only be one on one fights between them. Thirdly, they can't have any children. And Lastly, "There can only be one."
AN: Right well some of you may have notice that I condensed the prolouge finally. Let us have a little cheer for that . YAY!!!! Please rememer any feed back would be good and I know there are things wrong cause as I was shrinking them I found a lot of things wrong. So please take the time it only improves the story. Nothing bad happens I swear no universe ending or anything.
