A/N: This is my first fanfic so in the beginning it might not be that good but it will improve. This is an Ed, Edd, n' Eddy and Naruto crossover. The idea has been buzzing in my head for a while now. The grammar and stuff might need some work
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Ed, Edd n' Eddy. I own the plot or any oc's I decide to make.
"RASENGAN!""CHIDORI!"
The two attacks collided with an overwhelming amount of force. The surrounding valley walls cracked slightly as did the two statues that the young combatants launched from. The fighter to the left was a boy who had long grayish blue hair. He wore a blue short-sleeved shirt with a red and white fan on the back, a pair of white shorts, blue sandals, and a headband that had a symbol of what looked to be a leaf. He had sickly gray skin, with a black four point star in the center of his face. Instead of fingernails he had claws, the whites of his eyes were black, and his irises were crimson with three tomoe in each eye spinning at rapid speeds. But these were not his strangest features, for sprouting out of his back were two hand-like wings with webbing made out of more fingers to keep the two abominations together.
The fighter to the right was also a boy but with a wild mane of short, spiky blond hair. He wore a torn up orange jumpsuit, blue sandals, and the same kind of headband as the other boy. He was shrouded in a red cloak of chakra in the shape of a fox. Like the other boy he had claws instead of fingernails, on each of his cheeks he had three feral looking whiskers marks, and his teeth were fangs. He had scarlet eyes with slits to replace the pupils of a regular human.
The two had been fighting for what felt like days but had only been a few hours. But with theses final attacks it would all come to an end. The tainted chakra of the first boy Chidori fought hard against the blonds Rasengan.
'How is Naruto's attack so strong, and just what is that red chakra!?'the winged boyyelled in his head. Naruto's thoughts were focused on a different matter.
'Damn how can I beat Sasuke without seriously hurting him?'then he got and idea. Using the tail granted to him from his chakra cloak, Naruto used the tail to move Sasuke's arm so he could ram his Rasengan into one of Sasuke's wings. Sasuke who was not expecting this couldn't counter the attack so it connected. The small ball of chakra hit his wing and started to rip it apart until Sasuke was rocketed to the ground below unconscious. Naruto pleased with his win passed out and fell to the ground.
Several Minutes Later
Naruto awoke to the rain pouring down on him. He no longer had his chakra cloak around him. He had lost his feral appearance, and his eyes returned to being ocean blue with normal pupils. He shakily got to his feet and looked around for Sasuke. Finally his eye landed upon Sasuke's still. Painfully Naruto walked over to his best friend and observed how he changed. With the curse mark's influence gone Sasuke returned to his normal self. His skin was no longer gray but still somewhat pale, he no longer had claws, and there was no trace of the star that had rested upon his face. His hair had turned black and shortened a bit with two medium length bangs framing his face, and the back of his hair in the shape of a duck's tail.
While Naruto was inspecting him Sasuke began to wake up.
"W-what happened?" he asked weakly, to drained to do anything else.
"I won teme, now I'm taking you back to Konoha,"
"Why did you stop me, this was my chance to get the power to finally kill Itachi," Sasuke moaned.
"Because Orochimaru was just going to use you to get a new body and probably abandon your goal," Naruto stated while picking Sasuke up and putting him on his back.
"Anyways why can't the village make you stronger, I'm mean look at Kakashi-sensei, Ero-sennin, Obaa-chan, hell even Itachi all came or come from Konoha, so there is no doubt in my mind that you can become strong enough to avenge your clan," Naruto said, his voice full of confidence for the raven haired avenger. Sasuke was silent as he mulled this over in his head. Naruto after a few minutes started towards Konoha.
"Naruto?"
"Yeah Sasuke?"
"Arigato"
Naruto just smiled and kept walking forward.
Unbeknownst to the two young ninja a plant-like figure had been watching them. The figure without a single word sunk into the ground.
An Hour Later Somewhere In The Woods
Naruto was exhausted, for an hour he had been walking with Sasuke on his back. So he and Sasuke decided to take a break at a bunch of chopped down trees. When Naruto took a closer look he realized that this where Shikamaru fought one of those Oto shinobi.
"Hey Sasuke I think this where Shikamaru fought one of those guys that was trying to take you to Orochimaru," stated Naruto.
"Really, which one?" asked Sasuke with concern for his old classmate. Sasuke knew by first-hand experience that the Oto nin were insanely strong.
"Well I thi-" but before Naruto could finish a groan cut through the air.
"What the hell was that?" asked Naruto while turning his head from side to trying to find the source of the groan.
"Don't know but it sounded like it came from over there," Sasuke replied pointing towards a fallen tree to their left. Slowly Naruto walked over to the large tree to try and see what made the sound. What he saw shocked him, for it was the sole kunoichi of the Oto nin. She had long reddish pink hair, which was no longer obscured by her hat. She wore an outfit like Orochimaru's but it was now torn and dirty.
"Hey Sasuke, it's the Sound chick and she looks hurt!" Naruto called over to his companion. Sasuke painfully got to his feet and limped over to where Naruto was and observed to Oto kunoichi.
"Hm, looks like one of her legs are broken, I doubt she'll survive on her own," Sasuke mused out loud.
"Then let's take her to the village, Baa-chan could fix her up," Naruto said out of concern. Don't get him wrong he isn't friends with her but Naruto can't help but feel sorry for her. "Good idea, we could then get information about Orochimaru from her," Sasuke replied thinking of the good that will come from having some up to date info on the snake.
"Right, Kage Bushin no Jutsu!" yelled putting his hands in the cross shaped seal. In a poof of smoke another Naruto was standing next to the original. The bushin Naruto hopped over the tree and picked up the kunoichi bridal style.
"Come on let's get to the village," the original Naruto said gesturing for Sasuke to get on his back. Without a word Sasuke got on Naruto's back and the four were off.
******************
Konoha Main Gates******************
At the main gates of Konoha one Sakura Haruno was beyond anxious. Already all but one of the members of the Sasuke retrieval squad have returned. All of the squad had looked worn and beaten. With only one coming back with one significant injury, that being Shikamaru with a broken finger.
"Oh, where's Naruto-baka with my Sasuke-kun, I swear to Kami-sama if he doesn't bring him back I'll-" but before Sakura could finish her threat out of the corner of her eye she saw two orange specks. When the specks got closer she could see that they were Naruto and his bushin carrying Sasuke and some girl.
'Ah, Sasuke-kun he's- wait he looks hurt, WHAT THE HELL DID NARUTO-BAKA DO?!' Sakura thought as she saw the state in which Sasuke was in.
'Yeah Sasuke looks like shit but Naruto doesn't look to hot either, plus who's that girl he's carrying?' Inner Sakura asked being the voice of reason and showing concern and curiosity for their blond teammate.
'WHO THE HELL CARES HE HURT SASUKE-KUN!' Sakura screeched to her inner.
"Hey Sakura-chan look who I got, its Sasuke!" called Naruto to his pink haired crush. When he got closer to her he failed to notice the look of pure fury she was giving him.
"Hey Sakura-chan yo-"
SLAP!Naruto put a hand up to his sore cheek and looked a Sakura.
"Sakura-chan wh-"
SLAP!Again Naruto was slapped and looked to the pink haired girl.
"DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME THAT, YOU HURT SASUKE-KUN, YOU DAMN DEMON!" screeched Sakura. Naruto eyes widen when she said this, he then looked down to the ground. Sasuke who was still on Naruto's back (and conscious I might add) was getting pissed. What the hell was wrong with this girl? From what Naruto told him she asked for Naruto to bring him back. Hell, she was probably begging Naruto to bring him back!
"SAKURA, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" yelled Sasuke.
"But Sasuke-kun, he hurt you," Sakura pleaded.
"Sakura it's to be expected I tried to go missing nin, I would have been at Orochimaru's by now if Naruto hadn't kicked my ass," Sasuke replied in a tired voice.
"But there's no way Naruto-baka could beat you Sa-"
"Sakura, just shut up and get the hell out of my sight I don't want to see your face," Sasuke snarled activating his sharingan for good measure. Sakura was stunned with fear at the look in Sasuke's eyes.
"Naruto, let's get to the hospital," Sasuke sighed. Naruto nodded his head silently and took Sasuke and the sound kunoichi to the hospital.
Three Days Later At Konoha Hospital
Naruto had been staying in Sasuke's room for the past three days. The hospital staff was first opposed to having the 'demon' brat staying close to the last Uchiha but quickly changed their minds when Sasuke gave them his greatest death glare to date. The sound kunoichi they brought was in a different wing of the hospital. They heard she was doing fine, though they could hear her swearing even in Sasuke's room. In the three days that they were here at the hospital a few of their friends had come to see them. In that time Sakura had not shown up once but that was fine as neither genin wanted to see their teammate at the moment. Sasuke was being allowed to leave the hospital today so he donned his usual attire. Before he and Naruto could leave the proctor from the first part of the chuunin exam came in to give Sasuke a mental checkup.
"Well everything checks out, now if you two will come with me the council would like to see you," the grizzly looking man said while he made his way to the door. The two gave a questioning look to the back of the man's head but followed him nonetheless. It took them about ten minutes to get to the Hokage's Tower and another five minutes to get to the council room. As they stood before the large oak doors that stood between them and the council room a small bit of panic wormed its way into them. Ibiki looked over to them to see if they were ready. They both nodded in confirmation and braced themselves for what ever they would face.
The inside of the room was dimly lit with cream white walls and polished wooden floors. On the side opposite to the doors were three half-circles set up in rows. In the half-circles sat Konoha's council. On the left sat the civilian clans while on the right sat the ninja clans. In the center of the third row sat Tsunade with her advisers Koharu and Homura on either side of her. In front of Tsunade sat an old man whose right eye and arm were covered in bandages. But the council were not the only people in the room aside from Naruto, Sasuke, and Ibiki. Situated near the center was the rookie nine and their sensei's, all of team Gai, the second proctor of the chuunin exams, and Jiraiya. All of the genin held looks of confusion on their face while all the higher ranked ninja had looks of anxiety.
"Good you two have arrived," spoke the old man in front of Tsunade.
"Excuse me but what is this meeting about Danzo-san?" asked Kakashi who surprisingly was not reading his "Icha Icha" book.
"Well Kakashi this meeting is about a few things," Tsunade replied before the man now identified as Danzo could speak. Tsunade's face was expressionless while looking at the ninja gathered in the room, a fact that did not go unnoticed by five of the shinobi present.
"First I would like to congratulate the Sasuke retrieval squad for a job well done," at this most of the squad had prideful smiles adorning their faces at being praised by their Hokage.
"Next the council would like to announce the promotions of the following people," Tsunade said turning her head to Koharu.
"The following genin by decision of the council shall be promoted to chuunin," Koharu took a brief pause to see if the genin were paying attention to what she was saying.
"Akimichi Chouji, Hyuuga Neji, Inuzuka Kiba, Rock Lee, and Uchiha Sasuke, you have been chosen to be promoted," she stated with a hint of a smirk. Chouji, Kiba, and Lee started to celebrate their promotions until a very important question was asked.
"What about Naruto, shouldn't he get promoted as well?" asked one Shikamaru Nara.
"My thoughts exactly, for was it not Naruto who brought Sasuke back?" added Neji raising a brow. Members of the council exchange glances with each other before Homura spoke.
"Regarding Uzumaki Naruto, Konoha's council and Hokage here by banish him from Konoha," stated Homura with a smirk. A collective gasp was let out of the ninja gathered before the council.
"What! What did the gaki do to get banished?" questioned Anko. Out of the corner of her eye she could see Naruto staring wide eye at Tsunade.
"Hey hurt Uchiha-sama!" shouted out one of the civilian council members.
"What the hell kind of stupid reason is that, Sasuke was going rogue!" yelled Kiba with Akumaru yipping in agreement.
"It is not just for that reason Uzumaki is being banished, it is also about the power he used to retrieve Sasuke-sama" Koharu said wearing the same smirk as her old teammate.
"W-what is t-this power?" stuttered Hinata with tears in her eyes from hearing that her crush was being banished. Before one of Tsunade's two advisers could answer Jiraiya stepped forward with an intense rage and hate shinning in his eyes making the whole council cringe.
"Don't you dare say it, it is forbidden to say," Jiraiya hissed out.
"We the council with permission of the Hokage have abolished that law," stated Danzo looking Jiraiya squarely in the eyes. Upon hearing this all of the jounin, Jiraiya, and Naruto eyes widened in shock.
"Tell me, all of you genin know the story of the Kyuubi do you not?" Danzo questioned while never taking his eyes off Jiraiya.
"Yeah, the Yondaime killed the Kyuubi and gave up his life to save the village thirteen years ago," stated Ino remembering what they had been taught in school.
"That is only half true, the Yondaime did beat the Kyuubi but he could not kill it, so he sealed it inside a newborn child," Danzo stated with a monotone voice as if he was dully stating some boring trivia fact.
"So you're saying-," Sakura whispered thus speaking for the first time since she had arrived in the council room.
"Yes, Naruto Uzumaki is the container to the nine tailed biju, Kyuubi no Yoko," replied Koharu, her smirk never leaving her face. At this almost all of the Konoha twelve backed away from Naruto in fear and apprehension.
"N-naruto y-you're the K-kyuubi?" Hinata asked her pale eyes as big as dinner plates.
"Naruto you're that monster? The same demon that killed so many people!" Kiba accusingly shouted at Naruto, which in turn made him cringe. Naruto was about to put his hands to his ears to shut anything else that was to be said by his so called friends, but a yell stopped him.
"ARE YOU ALL STUPID?!" came the infuriated yell of Sasuke with his sharingan blazing to life in his rage.
"Yeah, I mean so what if Naruto has the Kyuubi in him, doesn't mean he is the Kyuubi," Chouji agreed shoving chips into his mouth as if nothing happened at all.
"Just by bringing Sasuke back Naruto has once more proven he is not a demon but one of the village's finest shinobi," said Neji giving one of the famous Hyuuga glares to the council, making most of them cringe under it's icy gaze.
"And it only seems logical that Naruto should be respected, for if not for Naruto the Kyuubi could have destroyed us all a long time ago," Shino stated which earned him an approving nod from his father Shibi and a few others.
"YES, I SEE NOW THAT NARUTO-KUN'S FLAMES OF YOUTH BURN EVEN BRIGHTER THEN I COULD OF EVER IMANGINED! YOSH!!" cheered Lee striking a nice guy pose.
"It seems pretty stupid to me to be banishing one of your best," Shikamaru added also giving the council a glare. Naruto gazed at his six friends, tears of joy bordering his vision.
"Hokage-sama don't you think punishing Naruto is little bit much, I mean he was only doing his duty," Kakashi stated stepping forward to help defend his student.
"Yeah, if not for the gaki the duck head would have been at that snake fags lair by now!" shouted Anko putting a hand on Naruto's head making him blush. Naruto stared in utter amazement at the people in front of him. He just couldn't believe that people other than Iruka, Jiraiya, Teuchi and his daughter, and the Konohamaru corps really did care for him.
"I'm sorry but this is for the safety of the village, Uzumaki-san you have until sunset to leave the village" Tsunade said while giving Naruto a blank stare, while he had cringed at the cold formality that Tsunade had used. Those who had stood up for Naruto and the other jounin senseis were about to protest this but stopped when Naruto spoke.
"Guys, it's okay really, you don't have to worry about me, I'll be fine," Naruto said putting on one of his famous fox like smiles. But all the people in the room who still thought of him as just Naruto just knew he was lying.
"I'll… see you guys again someday, it's a promise of a life time, BELIEVE IT!" Naruto shouted putting on a real smile for his precious people even if the number of them had decreased. So with that Naruto turned on his heel and walked out the door not really knowing what the future will hold for him but he had a feeling that things would look up for him soon.
He couldn't be more correct.
