Darkvizardking: Hello ladies and gentlemen. I do apologize for the long absence, life does tend to get in the way of things like this you know. Now, what some of you may not know, is the rise of a certain card game that's been going on, Cardfight Vanguard. It's a fascinating game that caters to all types of Asthetics through 'clans'. My personal favorites being Granblue, the undead pirates, Shadow Paladin, the dark knights, as well as the two that shall become the focus, Murakumo and Nubatama, the twin ninja clans. I had the idea of this story in my head for a long time, but I never could get it right, until the two clans expanded. Now I've got a better understanding of the lore, I may be able to work with it, if I fail, please tell me. Writers, like movie stars or a band, are nothing without their fans. So without further adieu, let's get this experiment started!

Magatsu Naruto, ninja of Cray.

Chapter 1: Induction, return.

Minato Namikaze was not having a good day. In fact, to say he was having a bad day was an understatement. First, his wife, Kushina Uzumaki, was currently in labor. Normally this would be a good thing, considering he was about to become a father. However, what made this worse was the fact that his wife happened to be the Jinchurikki to the Kyuubi no Kitsune, the strongest of the Bijuu (Tailed Beast). And that was because of one little secret, the fact that a female Jinchurikki's seal weakens during pregnency. And because of the chakra being diverted to both the seal and the baby at the same time, the seal is at it's weakest during labor. So he, being the best seal master since his sensei, had to be on hand to keep the seal together.

This comes with the second problem of the day, Kyuubi. The beast was thrashing about from inside the seal, making it hard to keep it together. Coupled with the actual childbirth, it was turning out to be a very difficult process. However, just as the childbirth ended, with a healthy baby boy, things took a turn for the worse.

Out of nowhere, the two nurses on hand to aid in the childbirth, because Tsunade was unable to be found in time, were laying dead on the floor along with Sarutobi's wife Biwako. Standing above them was a figure in a black cloak, the only things visible were his hands and wrists, which had chains attached to iron cuffs, and a orange mask with a single eye hole decorated with black flames that seemed to spill from the eye.

In his hands was something that made Minato's heart nearly stop. Naruto. His newborn son was being held hostage, a kunai right next to his throat as the intruder said "Now that I have your attention, hand over the Kyuubi, before your son's life is ended at the tender age of a minute old." Minato rushed the intruder, who tossed Naruto into the air, and when Minato caught him, he noticed an exploding tag on the blanket. Using the hirashin, a jutsu that gave him the name 'Kiroi Senko' (Yellow Flash), the father and son were able to escape the blast. One thing was missing though. Kushina.

(Clearing outside the village)

Kushina, still tired from labor, screamed as she felt Kyuubi being ripped from her. The seal seemed to open much like a gate would as red chakra poured out of it. The mass of chakra then formed into Kyuubi itself, Kushina still on her last legs. "My, the Uzumaki vitality lives up to the legends. Normally a Jinchurikki would of died from their Bijuu being extracted." The masked man looked at Kyuubi, putting the beast under the spell of his Sharingan. Kushina vanished in a yellow flash, making him scoff as he thought, 'As expected of you, Minato-sensei'

Sarutobi rushed to the site of where his wife was helping Minato, only to see the Kyuubi appear in the village. He borke out of his shock as he started giving orders to the surrounding ninja, helping them stall the fox until Minato could arrive. 'Just what the hell happened in there Minato?!'

(An hour later)

Minato and Kushina were impaled on a claw that was headed for their son, Minato already performing the Shiki Fuin (Reaper Death Seal), the Shinigami behind him. What no one noticed was the god looking at young Naruto, and in his curiosity, took a peek into his future. 'This, this is disgraceful! These humans would have him go through a life of torment and pain because of this night! This child is to become their savior! Yet they will damn him if he is left here. Perhaps, perhaps an old favor is in order.'

The Reaper noticed that it was time to finish the sealing, and fulfilled it's duty. However, as it left back to it's realm, it took a passenger with it. Naruto. As Sarutobi reached the site, all he saw were the bodies of Minato and Kushina, but Naruto was gone.

(Planet Cray- Murakumo clan compound.)

It was a quiet night, but as the clan knew, even silence can hide danger. None knew this more then the head of the clan, Magatsu Arashi (storm). As he sat in meditation, the moon shined over head, it casting an unusual glow. The elder dragon felt a presence behind him, and he said "What brings you to this realm Reaper? Surely this place is not meant for one such as yourself?"

He then noticed the bundle in the reaper's arms. With the dagger still in it's mouth, it said, "This child is meant to be the savior of a different world. However, his future will only leave him weak because of the ignorance of others."

Arashi looked over the little bundle, blonde hair with streaks of red, Amethyst eyes with a slit pupil. His face was marked by six scratches, three on each of his cheeks, giving the appearance of whiskers. "His appearance, I have a feeling the second energy source I sense from him is the cause of it?" The reaper nodded, and said, "Yes, you would be correct. He has a demon sealed into him by his father. And that would be what will cause him suffering in the future. Suffering that may have turned him into their destroyer, rather then savior."

Arashi sighed, and said, "I suppose you brought him to Cray, to us, to avoid that possibility? My clan's training will be no less strict." The reaper once again nodded. "Strict as it may be, it would be far better then what I have seen. Both your clan, and your sister clan will need to work together to aid in this. One last chance, can I trust you to aid this boy?"

Arashi stroked his beard as he looked at the boy again, who this time was looking right at him. Taking a closer look, he noticed that boy seemed, imbalanced. "His energy, it's out of balance. The Yin and Yang are offset." The reaper sighed, "That was his father's doing. He split the beast's power in half, hoping that the beast would be easier to deal with later down the line. I have the other half with me, which i'll give to the boy if you accept this task."

Arashi gave it no other thought "I'll accept. The boy will be raised by our clan, and with aid from the Nubatama clan." 'I'll have to speak with Kabukicongo about this matter in the morning. Their stealth arts along with our clones and summoning techniques, this boy will be more then ready for what lies ahead.'

He noticed the Shinigami passing more energy into the boy, allowing him to be balanced. The read streaks grew until his hair was blood red, and the whisker marks grew a little thicker. "It is done. I will return in 15 years for the boy. Train him well until then." Naruto was then given to the Elder dragon, the Shinigami vanishing from the realm, not to be seen again for 15 years.

(Fifteen years later- Konohagakure)

A red circle, a magic portal, opened outside the village, a figure stepping out of it into the night air. The figure had blood red hair, Amethyst eyes whose pupils that were slit like that of a fox. A blood red scarf hid the lower half of his face, covering the whisker marks that were one his cheeks. He was dressed in a style that befit the clans he was raised by, a mostly black attire that consisted of black steel toed boots, black pants with a strip of red going up the sides, a black wire mesh shirt under a black short sleeved shirt. On the back of it was a kunai in between a Fuma Shuriken, a sign of the union between the two 'clans'. On his arms were a gauntlet on his left arm, pitch black with a dark red Paulderon on the shoulder. On his right was pitch black fingerless glove that was elbow length. Both the gauntlet and glove were covered in seals, hiding his vast array of weapons. 'Better this way then like Brother Oborozakura, fool carries his weapons everywhere!'

He felt a purring in his mind, and heard 'But of course koi. But then again, he doesn't have your talent for seals. If he did, he might lose track of his 'precious trophies'.'

Naruto let himself smile. 'Indeed Kura-chan, but I wouldn't KNOW about seals without your aide.' He fondly remembered their first meeting, when the Elder told him of his tenant.

(Flashback- five years earlier)

Naruto sat in the meditation hall, along with a few of the other trainees, his mind on a subject the elder told him of. What was behind the markings on his stomach, that he recognized as a seal. He felt himself slip into a trance, and the next time he opened his eyes, he saw himself in a sewer. "My mind is a sewer? How did this come about?" He started to wander, before coming to what appeared to be his destination, a large Ornate gate that took up most of one wall. The 'gate' was made of bars that were quite wide apart, enough that he might be able to slip through. In the center was the 'lock', a blue box that had a slip of paper on the front, the kanji for 'seal' being the only thing that was on the paper. \

As he stepped closer, he saw a pair of red eyes open from behind the gate, and a claw coming straight for him. He bent backward, at an angle only his training could provide. He then heard "Damnit, so close. So, what brings you here? Come to see your 'helpless prisoner'?"

Naruto looked up and was about to speak, but bit his tongue as he noticed something in the beasts' eyes. Anger, ALOT of it. But hidden under that anger was, to his shock, sadness and fear. He then, to Kyuubi's shock, bowed and said, "I was recently told of you presence within me. The elder Dragon told me himself as he deemed me ready to handle such knowledge. Had I known sooner, I would have been here sooner."

Kyuubi's eyes widened in shock, and Naruto felt something wrap around his waist and pull him past the bars. To his surprise, he was face to face with not a giant fox, but a young woman. She looked to be in her early twenties, with crimson hair, blood red eyes that were the same as before, but she had black lines around her eyes, much like her fox form. She had fangs, as he saw she had an angry look on her face, and he noticed that she too had whisker marks. And the last thing he noticed, she was naked.

He was cut from his thoughts as he heard, "You think that would make it any better?! You stupid ningen (human)! I know EXACTLY how your species works! Your kind has imprisoned me and my brothers and sisters for CENTURIES! One after another, without a chance for freedom!" He saw that she had tears pouring down her face. "And now, even now, you stand here before me, and," She froze as she felt his hand on her cheek.

"I wasn't aware of the pain you being here caused you, now I know if I had known about you sooner, I would of come here sooner, to help you with your lonliness. I can't imagine what it must be like for you and your kind. But I promise you, i'll help you break the cycle of the Jinchurikki. No one should be a prisoner" She had to choke back sobs. It was the result of her chakra being put back together so soon after it was split. Seeing as most of her emotions lied in her 'Yin' chakra, having it taken would of left her an angry mass. But since she was whole, her emotions were 'normal'.

Kyuubi wrapped the two of them together in her tails, and she said, "Maybe, maybe you can do it. Maybe you were the one Rikodou-Otousan told us about." Naruto felt something press against his face, and when he finally noticed, it was her breasts. Thus causing him to pass out in a nosebleed. "Maybe, you'll be the one meant to be my mate." She let herself giggle at her container's condition, her anger subsided.

After that first meeting, the two bonded, until Kyuubi, or Kura, trusted him enough to start learning how to control her power. '"You did promise me, but until then, i'll help you however I can." She let a sultry smirk cross her face. "After all, it's not good if my mate dies before he fulfills his promise"' He could not look at her without blushing for a week.

(Flashback end)

Naruto smiled and he walked toward the village, the large gates being a big indicator. 'Remembering something koi?' He smiled as he said, "Just remembering how we met. I will keep my promise. And find a way to get you out here with me." 'I know you will.'

He heard a alarm go off in the village, and he dove into the trees, thinking that they saw him coming, and that they thought him an intruder. He then saw what looked like ninjas, the headbands and flak jackets matching the descriptions of what he was to expect to a T. He heard a couple of them mutter, "Damn that Mizuki, stealing the Forbidden scroll like that. What the hell is he thinking?!"

Naruto let a smirk cross his face as he unsealed his favorite weapon, a black Kusarigama with the scythe blade being blood red, along with kunai shaped other end. He slipped away before the others could find him, not even a scent was left.

(a clearing in the village)

Mizuki let a grin cross his face as he hid, confident that the shack was hidden so he could rest before he made it out of the village. He never noticed the pair of eyes watching him from the brush. He also never noticed the blade attached to a chain before it sliced through his neck.

Minutes later a group of ANBU, led by a chunin with a scar on his nose arrived at the shack due to the scent of blood. What they saw nearly made them vomit, their experience the only thing stopping them.

Mizuki was pinned to the shack by chains and black ninjato going through his limbs, his neck sliced open in a manner that left him unable to talk, unable to scream as he bled out, dying merely seconds after they arrived. They saw a teenager with the Forbidden scroll on his back. "My my, you're late. So sloppy for the so called 'Elite' of this village. Well, I have artifact to deliver. Ja Ne" He then tossed down a smoke bomb, leaving them coughing until it cleared, with him nowhere in sight.

(Hokage's office.)

Hiruzen waited paitiently as he saw the teen slip into his office. "You certainly made a splash young man. Who are you?"

He took a better look at the young man before him, and he was shocked at the pure resemblance he had to Kushina, the blood red hair giving it away. "I know that orb of yours saw everything. Considering that man was a traitor to this village, the punishment was correct yes?" Hiruzen nodded, but asked "That still doesn't answer who you are."

Naruto smirked and said, "I am Magatsu Naruto, jonin represenative of the Magatsu clan. I was sent here to join this village, as it apparently is my father's birthplace." Hiruzen nearly did a spit take with his coffee, "N-Naruto!? T-that name, it's-"

Naruto nodded and said "Yes, I know. It's the name my father, Minato Namikaze gave me. Apparently he and my mother, Kushina, agreed to name me after a character in his sensei's book. Well, the only one not filled with smut."

Hiruzen was stunned. He knew that Kushina was giving birth that night, and that they had the name already picked out. "So, you were the one that vanished that night! We thought something horrible happened to you!?"

Naruto nodded, "I know of the story, I heard it from someone who was there that night, even though she really didn't want to be." Hiruzen tried to think, going over who he was refferng to. "But Naruto, the only one you could be talking to would be t-the"

"The Kyuubi, yes. You'd be surprised at what a sweet girl she can really be, if you just take the time to get to know her." Hiruzen slammed his hands on his desk as he said, "BUT THAT BEAST NEARLY DESTROYED THIS PLACE! SHE, wait, KYUUBI'S A GIRL!?"

Naruto nodded, a smirk on his face. "Yes, she is. And her attack on this village was not something she wanted. When a mad man attacked my parents during my childbirth, he killed the nurses that were helping them as well. That includes your wife." Hiruzen was stunned. He wondered what happened to his wife, but he always thought the Kyuubi was to blame. It was, but not for the reason he thought. Shaking his head clear he asked "So, you're a jonin in your clan? I don't see a flak jacket."

Naruto shook his head and said, "The ninja of the Magatsu clan don't follow that type of tradition. We have our rank and how we're dressed mostly is up to them." Hiruzen nodded and said, "Well, unfortunately, the Genin exam was earlier today, and all of the teams have already been filled and given a sensei, so I can't put you there. Hmm, perhaps as a Tokubetsu jonin on reserve to help out the teams that pass?"

Naruto nodded in agreement, and said, "That is acceptable. Now, about my residence here? I assume my father's place is still around?" Hiruzen nodded, going over to the picture of Minato that hung in his office, undoing a seal that kept the safe behind it locked, retrieving a pair of scrolls and a key. "The key is to open the gate, the scrolls are letters your parents wrote before you were born. Kushina had a bad feeling about that night, so she had her and your father write these in case. Seems she was right to do so."

Naruto nodded and placed them into a spare seal on his gauntlet. He was then handed a headband with a black cloth and a green jonin flak Jacket. He looked to see Hiruzen smiling as he said, "Its good to have you back Naruto. Many people missed you while you were gone. Jiraiya went looking all over the nations to try and find you."

He noticed Naruto laughing, so he asked, "Something funny?" Naruto shook his head and said, "It's just that you said Jiraiya, right?" Hiruzen nodded and Naruto continued, "Well, the clan I was raised by has a member named Jiraiya, who has a giant toad as a summon partner."

Hiruzen mentally compared what he just heard to his student, and couldn't help but laugh. "Well then, you'll be introduced to the other Jonin tomorrow. Until then, you're dismissed." Naruto bowed as he placed the Forbidden scroll on the desk vanishing in a cloud of smoke a second later.

Iruka and a pair of ANBU arrived a moment later, seeing the scroll on the desk and Hiruzen having a smile on his face. "Ah, Iruka, I just had an interesting conversation with the young man that brought this back."

(village rooftops)

Naruto easily jumped from roof to roof, his armor making him seem like a blur in the moonlight. He passed by a alley, and saw something that made his blood boil.

A group of what looked like four chunin had a woman pinned down, not for her lack of trying to resist. The moonlight passed over the alley, allowing him to see her purple hair that fell down in a mess, no doubt from the struggle. "Hey boys, looks like the snake bitch is still feisty." "She'll ease into it-" He was cut off, along with his head, as purple chains erupted from all sides, piercing trough them, a black figure standing in the middle.

Anko merely heard a whisper "Stealth art: Spider web Technique." True to it's name, the cris-crossing chains gave off the illusion of a spider web, blood dripping out of the bodies before the chains broke, dropping them on the ground. The last thing Anko saw was blood red hair, then her eyes closed.

Naruto saw the woman pass out, no doubt due to the drugs in her system. "Seems those fools poisoned her sake. Disgraceful, such a drink is meant to relax one, not endanger them." He quickly grabbed a spare cloak from a seal, covering her as he vanished with her, taking her to his home to recover.

(The next morning)

Anko felt the sunlight hit her eyes, making her open them. She then looked around, sitting up quickly when she realized that she wasn't at her home. She then felt another bout of pain pass through her head. "What the hell happened last night? I remember leaving the bar, then," She panicked, checking herself, noticing that she was wearing a nightgown, her bra and panties still with her.

"I do apologize miss, they tore your clothes to shreds. The only thing I was able to save was your jacket." Anko turned to see a figure in black approach her, a glass filled with, something, in hand. "This will help with your hangover. Your sake was drugged, that's why you were having so many problems last night."

Anko blushed as she saw the blood red hair, it almost reminded her of Kushina, someone she saw as a mother. She took the glass and with a gulp, downed the concoction. She felt it burned as it went down, but her head slowly cleared. "Thank you, for, well, this. And last night." She felt her cheeks heat up in a blush as he chuckled, "It's not a problem miss. I merely despise people like that, so I stepped in to help. Oh, how rude of me, I haven't introduced myself."

He bowed and said, "I am Magatsu Naruto, newly instated Tokubetsu Jonin of this village. And you are?" Anko bowed from her position on the bed as she said, "M-miterashi Anko, Tokubetsu jonin of this village."

Naruto smiled, making Anko blush as he said, "Well then, seems we'll be comrades then. I do wish we met under better circumstances, but I guess that it can't be helped." She merely nodded as she looked down at the nightgown, "W-wait! This place, it's-"

Naruto nodded, "Yes, it's my father house. I was on my way to get settled in when, well." Anko nodded, and asked, "So, you're really Kushina-okaasan's kid huh? You vanished all those years ago."

Naruto smirked and said, "You make it sound like you were eager to see me hmm?" He saw Anko blush a deep red and look away. "I'm right. Well, i'm sorry to have worried those that wanted to meet me. But i'm here now."

Anko nodded and asked, "Um, I don't suppose you have a copy of my clothes, do you?" Naruto sadly shook his head and said, "Sorry, I don't, the only thing that was saved was your coat. I'll be happy to walk you home if you wish." Anko smiled and thought, 'Well sensei, you did say i'd find a good man one day. Guess you were right.'

Anko nodded and slipped the nightgown off, seeing Naruto turned around to give her privacy. She put her coat on and closed it, making her only look barefoot. "It's early in the morning, so we can make it without anyone noticing."

Naruto nodded and put on the rest of his gear, something Anko nearly drooled at, and the duo walked toward her apartment. Thankfully no one saw them, and as they reached her apartment, Anko turned and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks for the help handsome. Maybe later we can get better 'acquainted'." Naruto merely stood still, a blush on his face making Anko giggle as she slipped into her apartment.

Anko sighed in relief as she closed her door. She then heard "So, where were YOU last night?" She turned and saw her roommate, Kurenai Yuuhi, giving her a glare. Anko gulped in slight fear as she got closer, and was pale as she saw Kurenai look out the window, but Naruto was already gone.

Anko chuckled nervously and said, "You will not believe the night I had."

AN: ANNNNNNDDD DONE! Hell of a place to leave off isn't it? I know I have been on the site in quite a while. And I do apologize for such an absence. Now this was a test run to see if I still got it. I do plan on continuing this, just as I will the rest of my stories.

Next time: Naruto's first night in the village was quite a eventful one wasn't it? Now how will a ninja trained by the duo clans of Cray handle things like missions, flirty jonin, and the most annoying aspect, Genin? See it all NEXT TIME! Remember to review!

Naruto: hey! I didn't get to truly show my stuff this time!

Darkvizardking: That's for the next chapter, can't show everything off in one siting you know?

Naruto: Fine, glad I at least helped Anko-chan this time.

Darkvizardking: Oh? Anko-chan already huh? I knew it was a good idea.

Anko: hugs Naruto from behind well foxy, seems we'll be having a lot of screen time together huh?

Darkvizardking: Oh yes you will, if I have anything to say. Now what do we say to the audience?

All: PEACE!
