This is my 2nd Naruto fan fic and I must say I'm very excited about it. I'm not sure if their has been a Naruto X FFCC ( Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles) cross over already if not then I'm the 1st (yay!) this is story was the idea of myself and one of my best friends who I will refer to as Turtle. Turtle and I started ranting about Naruto and FFCC and we actually mended the two stories together so he is my Co-Creator and also my idea-assistant. I know it's an awkward idea making a Naruto X FFCC but give it a shot before you judge! Also this story will be taking first priority over my other Fic Several Thousand Miles. Well enough of my ranting please read, review, and enjoy
I Do Not Own Naruto Or Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. This Is Purely Fictional For The Enjoyment Of Myself And Any Other Fans.
Chapter 1. My name is…Tobi
Itachi flees from the Uchiha estate as fast as his legs could carry him.
"I know you had to leave him alive but why use Tsukuyomi on him? You could've permanently hurt him for life. You have yet to master that technique." Itachi was being scolded by a rather easy going entity that does not seem to be anywhere.
"…" was the only response that the murderous Uchiha Itachi offered to the voice.
"Then again, if he can't get passed a faulty Tsukuyomi then his Sharingan is weaker than yours, which would make his eyes useless to you." Stated the voice to Itachi who proceeded to say nothing.
"It will be some time before Konoha figures out what happened. But before we leave, we have another that we need to take with us." Stated the voice.

Naruto was walking home from the Konoha Ninja academy. Today was his first day and already we did not want to go back
Flash Back
"We can not let that child be around the other children!" stated a very concerned parent
"Yes he's a danger to all of those around him!" yelled another parent amongst the crowd
"There's nothing I can do!" defended Iruka, "He was placed in this class under the Hokage's orders!" Stated Iruka trying to calm the group of parents that refused to accept the 'demon-child' as a shinobi candidate.
"I don't want my child affiliated with that little monster! If he's in the class then I'm pulling my son out of the academy!" yelled the first parent
"Me too!" yelled another
"So shall I!" stated another
End Flash Back
After the first 20 minutes of the first day of school over half of the class had been pulled. It wouldn't have been so bad if all the parents hadn't exploded in front of Naruto's peers. Now all the kids in the class looked and treated Naruto funny.
Flash Back
Naruto sat on the swings during recess. He sees a young girl with pink hair sitting under a tree all by herself. Naruto wants more than anything to make some friends so he decides to try his luck.
"Ano, wanna play with me on the swings?" asked Naruto
The pink haired girl was happy at first until she saw who was talking to her. Her smile turned to a frown faster than the smile appeared. When Naruto saw her frown he knew what was coming next.
"Sorry Naruto-kun, but I can't play with you or talk to you." Stated the pink haired girl as she got up and walked away.
All of the kids in the playground said that same thing to him every time he asked one of them to play. None of the kids knew why Naruto was out casted by their parents but they weren't about to disobey their parents to find out.
End Flash Back
Naruto walked home slowly trying to force back his tears. He didn't know why every one hated him but he hoped that if he joined the Ninja academy he could at least make some friends. But it seemed that because he joined half of the class left and a lot of the kids lost some of their friends.
"That's why they all hate me." Stated Naruto to himself. In his eight years of existence and constant hatred by the villagers he seems to have adopted the mentality that everything is his fault.
He continued to walk towards his 'home' if you could call it that. And just wanted to go to sleep and never return to that awful academy.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Who am I looking for?" asked Itachi to the same, unknown presence
"I need you to find the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki and persuade him to come with us." Stated the voice
"For what purpose?" asked Itachi
"Don't question my methods and just do as you're told." Scolded the voice
Itachi was not one to be talked down to, but this man was a very powerful Uchiha. And with his tutelage Itachi would become an even greater Shinobi than any one else before him. So until the time came Itachi decided to just follow his orders and apparently not question his methods.
Itachi was instructed by the Hokage to guard Naruto-kun from the shadows on several occasions to make sure no villagers tried anything funny on him. So he knew all about Naruto.
He proceeded towards Naruto's house, but found him several blocks away crying.
"Excuse me, but would you by chance happen to be Uzumaki Naruto now would you?" asked Itachi knowing full well who he was.
"Um…" Naruto was hesitant to answer, but he did not see any hatred in this man's eyes so he tested his luck. "Yes I am can I help you?" he asked hoping for the best but expecting the worst.
"I hope so." This time it was a different man who spoke, he walked out of the shadows of a near by building. He had on a long black cloak with red clouds, whose collar came up to his cheeks.He also had a rather large straw hat on his head which allowed no light to pass through leaving his facial features a mystery to the young blond.
"Naruto-kun I am a collector of sorts and you have something that is of great value to me." Stated this new mysterious person who spoke very articulately and politely to Naruto.
"What is it?" asked Naruto fishing out all the contents of his pockets.
"Heh Heh" chuckled this mysterious man. "No no Naruto-kun it's not something you can hold or touch, it is something inside of you." Stated the well spoken gentile man, pointing at Naruto's stomach
"Inside of me?" asked a confused Naruto "You mean like my organs?" asked Naruto scaring himself
"Ha ha what a funny little boy!" said the mystery gentile man. "No nothing like that at all. Believe it or not Naruto-kun. You have something very dangerous and evil inside of you, it was put in there when you where born and it's why all of your villagers hate you. But I need it for my collection, and since it just makes your village hate you I figured you might be willing to part with it and entrust it to me. I am very skilled at handling it and I promise it will not hurt a bit. When I'm done I will have you home safely and before your bed time." said the gentile man reassuring Naruto
"What is it?" asked Naruto "What's inside of me?"
"I will explain in due time Naruto-kun." Stated the man extending his hand so that Naruto could take it.
Naruto was hesitant at first but something told him he could trust this man, his mind told him that he was a stranger and shouldn't be trusted. But his gut instinct and his drive to have friends lead him to trust this fellow.
"Ok, I'll help you…um…what was your name again?" asked the Demon container
"My name?" asked the Featureless man. "Oh well my name is…my name is." The man scratched his head thinking of a name to tell the Demon vessel. "My name is…Tobi." He finally stated in a manner that if it had been anyone else but Naruto, they could tell that it was obviously made up on the spot.
"Ok Tobi-san, I'll help you with your collection." Said Naruto taking Tobi's hand
"Naruto isn't very bright now is he?" Itachi thought to himself "No matter, it makes it all that more easy to take him."
But unknown to the two taking Naruto and obviously Naruto himself. This conversation did not go unheard by a very skilled former ANBU Captain.
"Gotta tell Hokage-sama" thought Hatake Kakashi who had found Itachi talking with the young Naruto.
He Shunshined to the Hokage's tower and informed the Hokage off all the he had just overheard.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Are you sure this is what you heard Kakashi?" asked the old Kage
"Hai Hokage-sama." Was Kakashi's response
"This is very serious. If I think this what I think this is, we must send a group of shinobi to rescue Naruto." Said the old man
"Who was that man that calls himself Tobi?" asked Kakashi
"I can't say for sure. What I'm about to tell you is classified, you must not tell anyone what I'm about to tell you." Said the Saindame
"Hai Hokage-sama!" Said Kakashi still at his knees
"My apprentice Jiraiya has a vast network of spies through out the shinobi world. He established this network for one primary purpose. That purpose was to track my former student, and one of the most dangerous S-class missing Nins Orochimaru." Stated the professor taking another pull from his pipe
Kakashi remained silent waiting for the old man to continue
"But several years ago Jiraiya found out that Orochimaru has joined an organization of S-class missing Nins called Akatsuki."
"Akatsuki?" asked Kakashi
"Yes, they are extremely powerful and their plans are a complete mystery to us. But we do know one thing; their plans have something to do with the Bijuu." The Saindame took another pull from his pipe.
"The man named Tobi is one of their members but it sounds to me that Tobi is not his real name. He told Naruto that he has something in him meaning he knows about the Kyuubi and is planning on extracting it." Said the old Kage
"But Hokage-sama, I know it'd be unwise to leave the Kyuubi to a group of S-class missing Nins, but I belief it is in Naruto's best interest if we let them take the Kyuubi, also it will allow us to further evaluate their plans once we know they have one piece of the puzzle." Stated Kakashi
"I thought about that already." Stated the old man. "But we can not allow them to extract the Kyuubi from Naruto."
"And why not?" asked Kakashi a little impatiently
"Because to extract the Kyuubi from Naruto would result in his Death. To forcefully take out an entity as powerful as the Kyuubi would kill Naruto." Stated the Saindame coldly
"…My apologies Hokage-sama. I did not mean to allow my emotions to get the better of me." Apologized Kakashi
"It's quite alright. I will be going on a mission to rescue Naruto from their grasp and I want you to be there with me. Please go to the Inuzuka compound and the Aburame and gather some of their strongest members to help aid in tracking them, also please bring any other shinobi that you see fitted for this rescue mission." Said Sarutobi
"Y-You are coming to Hokage-sama?" asked Kakashi
"I may be old but I can still put up a good fight. And Naruto is still a citizen of Konoha so we are going to do everything in our power to retrieve him." Said the old man, "I'm trusting you to gather together a proper team to rescue a hero of this village, we owe him that much at least. Be at the northern gate in half an hour with our team."
"Hai Hokage-sama!" Kakashi said as he disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Sarutobi went into his closet to fetch his battle attire for the upcoming mission
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"YEAH! FASTER! FASTER!" yelled an ecstatic Naruto as he hitched a ride on Tobi's shoulders.
"Please keep it down Naruto-kun you wouldn't want to disturb anyone now would you?" said Tobi
"Who will we disturb? We're in the middle of the forest, no one can hear us." Argued Naruto
"Their could be some Shinobi who are sleeping if you yell like that you might alarm them and they won't get back to sleep until much later, so you'd be cutting hours off of their already limited amount of time for sleep." Stated Itachi
"Stingy!" was all Naruto said but piped down none the less.
"Where are we going?" asked Naruto "It's already been hours and it's almost my bed time." He stated
"I'm very sorry Naruto-kun I forgot how far we where but don't worry, we're almost their." Said Tobi
After about another 10 minutes they arrived at a cave, it looked like an ordinary cave until they went inside. After they where several feet into the cave it's mouth closed and they where in complete darkness. Absolutely no light was available and there was a very uncomfortable chill in the air.
"It's really dark." Stated Naruto
"Don't worry about that Naruto, after you get some proper shinobi training you might be able to see as clear as day in all of this darkness." Said Tobi
"What? You're going to train me?" asked Naruto
"Erm…Yes! Of course I will! It's Payment for helping me with my collection." Said Tobi
"What gave him that idea?" Itachi asked himself
"Just hold onto my hand and I'll guide you to where we will take out that bad thing from inside of you." Stated Tobi
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Is this all that came to help?" asked Sarutobi
"H-Hai Hokage-sama, I only picked those who I believed would be useful in our retrieval mission." Said Kakashi
"An Inuzuka and an Aburame like I suggested a Hyuuga, and 3 ANBU." Analyzed Sarutobi.
"Hai Hokage-sama, I asked Hyuuga Miko to aid us with her Byugan and these three are my most trusted allies from my ANBU days, they specialize in Search and rescue missions and Assassination missions." Stated Kakashi
"Well done, now we just have to wait for our last member to show." Stated Sarutobi
"Who?" asked Miko
"A man who would put his life on the line several times over for his pupil's son." Said Sarutobi
"You rang?" asked Jiraiya appearing in a giant puff of smoke on top one of his trusted frogs.
"It's about time you showed up." Said Sarutobi
"Sorry I was caught up doing my research." Said the toad sage
"Well…I wouldn't you to get rusty now do I." asked Sarutobi "So how's it coming along?"
"Just fine! I'm almost done with my 2nd release." He stated
"I'm looking forward to it." Said Sarutobi slightly blushing
"Um what kind of research are you talking about?" asked Kakashi
Jiraiya's answer came in the form of a small orange book he pulled out of his back pocket and handed it to Kakashi. "Read it" was his only explanation
When Kakashi read the author's name he stared at the strange white haired man in shock.
"Ji-JI-JIRAIYA-SAMA?!" yelled Kakashi
"That means…" Kakashi had a life altering revelation
"Naruto is"
"We have spent enough time idling around, we must rescue Naruto at once, and there is no telling how much time he has." Interrupted Jiraiya
Kakashi composed himself and all the shinobi darted off with the Inuzuka taking the lead.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"So you and Itachi-nii-san are going to take what ever it is out of me?" asked Naruto
"Nii-san?" both the man named Tobi and Itachi thought
"Not Itachi, just me and a few of my friends who are waiting for you." Said Tobi
"Ok, hey Tobi…are….are we friends?" asked Naruto which caused Tobi to stop in his tracks for a moment
"Of course we are! You are helping me and I'm helping you! That's what a friend is! Don't you know that?" asked Tobi
"Well Tobi-san you and Itachi-nii-san are my only friends, everyone in the village hates me. I don't know why but they all stare at me with hate in their eyes and they always call me demon or monster. Even the kids are told by their parents not to speak to me." Naruto said frowning
"Well then I guess Itachi-nii-san and I are the lucky ones who are allowed to be called Naruto-kun's first friends" Tobi said warmly, he put much emphases on nii-san trying to make fun of Itachi to some degree.
Naruto was very happy at this moment; he didn't care about anything but helping his newly found friends. He was practically beaming happiness as they walked deeper into the dark corridor. After about 5 minutes of walking they stop abruptly causing Naruto to run into Tobi's leg.
"You're late." Stated an unfamiliar voice
"Sorry, we got a little held up." Stated Tobi
"Is' at the new guy?" he said pointing to Itachi (A/N: Naruto can't see anything because it's pitch black but the one that is talking now is Hidan, and the you're late guy was Sasori)
"Yeah I'll introduce everyone later but right now we have other matters to attend to." Said Tobi stepping forward. He then turned around and made a peculiar hand seal and the whole room was illuminated dimly, he then turned towards Naruto.
"Come here Naruto-kun."
Naruto walked forward and got a good glimpse at all who inhabited the cave. Tobi's face was as obstructed as ever and he recognized Itachi who stood near the entrance to the room from the path way. Then there was a weird looking guy with read hair, he looked really fat and hunched over and had a weird tail made of metal. The next guy was very pale and had long black hair, it looked like he had purple eye makeup on and seemed to look at Naruto in a very peculiar way (AN: Orochimaru is actually one of my favorite characters, I like how he fights and his I don't give a flying fuck what you think about what I'm doing ways, but I do honestly believe he is a pedophile and I will go out of my way to make sure my message gets across) The next man was also very pale, but his eyes where the opposite way, his pupils where white while the other part was black, the only Normal looking man was very tall and had silver hair, not white hair like an old man, but naturally silver hair. He also had a huge, three pronged scythe hosted on his back. Their where a few others in the room but they didn't seem to actually be their, more like a projections of some sort and they sounded like static from a television. There was one in particular of the group of projections that caught his attention, He had rings in his eyes and he was barking orders like if he was the leader.
Tobi spoke up. "Pain-sama this is Uzumaki Naruto, he is the Jinchuuriki for the Kyuubi no Yoko and he was agreed to allow us to extract the Kyuubi" (AN: various translations debate between Pain and Pein and idk which is right so just for spell check convenience I'm saying Pain)
"Kyuubi?" asked a bewildered Naruto
"Yes the evil thing inside of you that we spoke about is the Kyuubi that attacked Konoha village about 8 years ago." Stated Tobi
"But why is it inside of me?" asked a still bewildered Naruto
"Well the fourth Hokage was very powerful, but not powerful enough to defeat the Kyuubi, so instead he did something desperate. He grabbed an innocent little child and sealed the Kyuubi inside of it. The villagers think that you are the demon's reincarnation but we know you are not. We know you are just an innocent little victim of a man who was too weak to do his job.
"Is that so?" asked Pain with a very static coated voice. "And why would you willingly let us take the Kyuubi out of you little boy?" He asked
"HEY! I'M NOT LITTLE AND I'M NOT A BOY!" stated Naruto
"You're a girl?" asked Tobi knowing what he meant but decided to tease Naruto
"I'M A MAN!" yelled Naruto
"Why would you let us take the Kyuubi from you?" asked Pain completely ignoring Naruto's outburst
"Because…Tobi-san said he needed it and he's my very first friend so I want to help Tobi-san as much as I can." Said Naruto never retrieving his gaze from pain
Several of the Akatsuki members chuckled but the majority remained silent
He was silent for several seconds "Alright then." He made several hand seals and then placed one hand on the ground, from the ground erupted a giant statue made of wood and metal, it had 9 eyes and a scroll inside of its mouth. It seemed as thought the statue was being held in place by a large number of very large branches that seemed to spike out. It had two large hands the came out in front of it.
"W-w-what's that?" asked a startled Naruto
"I know it looks scary but this is how we are going to get the Kyuubi out of you." Reassured Tobi
"A-All right" said a still scared Naruto. "What do I Have to do?" he asked
"All you have to do is lie down and be very still. I promise it will look scary, but absolutely nothing bad will happen to you. Can you be very brave for me Naruto-kun?" Tobi reassured and asked very sweetly
"H-Hai!" Naruto said with enthusiasm
"Good then, will you please lay down now." Asked Tobi and Naruto hesitantly but quickly obliged
"Let's begin" ordered Pain. All of the men jumped on top of a finger from the statue and made a hand seal.
The statue inched its head forward and opened its mouth despite the scroll and a blue light slowly inched its way towards Naruto.
"S-So after this Tobi-san, will you and Itachi-nii-san train me?" asked Naruto mostly to try and distract himself
"Train you?" asked the Silver haired man (who we all know is Hidan)
"Kid you're gonna die." He stated
"W-What?" asked Naruto
"By taking the Kyuubi out from your body, you forfeit your life." Said the man with the reverse colored eyes
"H-huh?" said Naruto about to get up, but the blue light had reached him by now and he was unable to move.
"THAT MEANS YOU'RE GONNA DIE LITTLE BOY!" shouted Hidan
"Fuin Jutsu: Genryu Kyu Fujin" (Sealing Technique: Illusionary Dragon Nine Consuming Seals) shouted the leader of this group of men.
Naruto felt a warm sensation pass through his body.
"T-To-Tobi! WHAT ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT?" asked a desperate Naruto "The-They're joking right?"
"I'm afraid not Naruto-kun, you see, we need the Kyuubi's power but since it's inside of you we can't get to it. So wee need to take it out, but by taking it out you will die in the process." Stated Tobi in the same tone as always, speaking of Naruto's death as thought it was a cheerful event.
"Ku Ku Ku, It seems you have been deceived by Tobi's wicked tongue." Stated the pale man with purple makeup
Naruto's body felt progressively warmer, slow at first but gradually picked up heat until he was uncomfortable. At first it didn't bother him because all that he could think about was his up coming demise. But soon the burning sensation was very intense. Every fiber of his being was burning; fire was not hot enough to describe this intense sensation. Pain was not potent enough to describe it. Naruto was in utter agony as the blue light sucked the life out of him. This feeling was so great, so vast that Naruto more than welcomed death if it meant an end to this beyond hell pain.
"Orochimaru, Zetsu, stop with the sealing process and put up Shishienjin" (Four Violet Flames Battle Encampment) "We have company"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Hokage-sama!" yelled Inuzuka Yunko (AN: I'm making up bull shit names so if I spell one wrong or it's not really Japanese then…..too bad I'm not changing it P)
"What is it?" asked Sarutobi
"The trail ends here at the face of this cliff" said Yunko double checking
"Miko" yelled Kakashi
"On it!" replied Miko forming several seals and activating her Byugan
"The face of the wall is only a few feet deep, there is a cave concealed within the cliff." She yelled
"Leave it to me!" yelled Jiraiya
"Rasengan!" he yelled as he drove a yellow swirl of chakra into the face of the cliff leaving an opening large enough to squeeze a jeep through. (AN: chakra is yellow it's blue in the anime because Naruto looked too much like a super saiyan which would have given Naruto the wrong stigma)
"Let's go!" he yelled Yunko sniffing the ground along side his partner Mizuchi. The dog sniffed around, whined and then barked at Yunko.
"He says that the scent breaks up into every direction." Stated Yunko
"My Byugan can't see anything but blackness" said Miko
"This way…" said Aburame Juntekoo walking ever so casually onwards
"How do you know?" asked Miko
"His bugs." Answered Sarutobi. "He sent his bugs to map out and decipher the labyrinth."
"What labyrinth?" asked Yunko
"Didn't you find it do that a member of an S-class organization would not cover up his own tracks?" stated Jiraiya
"What does that have to do with a Labyrinth?" asked Miko
"He must have been confident in the traps of their base; they probably won't use this base again and are planning on taking us out with what ever traps they have inside." Stated Kakashi
"So the most Un-logical way would be a Labyrinth it would take a normal group of shinobi hours upon hours to decipher it, and with traps behind every corner they would all die, but luckily we have an Aburame with us, he can map out the Labyrinth and tell us which way is safest." Finished Sarutobi
"I still don't get how they came up with Labyrinth." Stated Yunko
"Me either." Said Miko
"Nor I." said Juntekoo
"Us either." Said the three ANBU
Everyone sweat dropped as the three kage level shinobi deduced the same predicament out of pure, un-logical- logical thinking (hope I said that right)
"This way!" said Juntekoo
After a few turns at a painfully leisurely walk they arrive at a large room with an enormous statue in the center with a hollering Naruto in front of it.
"What the hell is that?" asked Miko
"I don't know" said Jiraiya and Sarutobi
"It's extracting the Kyuubi from Naruto!" yelled Kakashi
"We have to stop them!" Said Jiraiya
"Leave it to me!" yelled Yunko
"Wait!" yelled Sarutobi
"Look at what's in front of you" he said
"Ku Ku Ku. Nice to see you again Jiraiya, Sarutobi-sensei." Chuckled Orochimaru
"Orochimaru" spat Jiraiya
"Ku Ku Ku Ku I presume you came to rescue the Demon brat but we can't allow that now can we?" Said Orochimaru with a maniacal smirk plastered on his face
"DAMNIT TOBI YOU'RE FUCKING USELESS!" yelled Zetsu (AN: Zetsu's bad half will be in Bold while his 'good' half will be Italic so we can all differentiate the two halves if he is thinking then I'll just let it be known)
"Hey I resent that! I tried really hard to not leave any evidence! And I'm not the fighting type or the tracking type; I'm the run away type dammit!" Yelled Tobi
"Silence" Yelled Pain
"If they break through Shishienjin all but Sasori and Kakuzu will fend them off. This includes you Uchiha Itachi." Stated Pain
All three ANBU tensed up, they new that Itachi defected but now it had just become reality to them. None the less they all where ready to take him on.
But before the blood bath could commence, the resonating Chakra from Naruto to the Statue was flowing wildly, it lashed back and forth violently and incinerated the air around it in a blazing heat.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto was engulfed in a white light. He looked at his hands and questioned his very own existence.
"Where is this?" he asked himself
"I could really use your help Naruto-kun" herd Naruto in his dazed state
"Itachi and I will train you after we get that thing out of you" Naruto's attention turned towards his memories
"My name is…Tobi"
"Monster" came right after at a whisper
"Of course we are friends, friends help each other out!"
"Demon!"
chingling (sound of the Akatsuki bell)
"YOU'RE GONNA DIE LITTLE BOY!"
"Sorry Naruto-kun, but I can't speak or play with you."
"I'm sorry" Naruto said to himself
"If I had never been born then this…" Naruto's being was being pulled to something
"This…" Naruto's being was engulfed in a white light
chingling
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
An inhuman roar resonated threw out the crypt that was the temporary Akatsuki layer. All eyes where on Naruto whose expression was of a loathsome hate so intense is seared itself into the soul of all who looked on it. The statue holding the Jinchuuriki up by a blue light creaked like an old ship under the pleasure of the massive amount of chakra oozing out of Naruto. Chakra so intense and Concentrated that it did not flow like normal chakra, instead it dripped to the stone floor beneath. The stone floor hissed as the pure chakra burned the stone. An un-godly feral wind blew fiercely throughout the corridor as the blue light lowered Naruto to the ground. He took in a deep breath and roared at the top of his lungs which caused the whole cliff side to rumble. Some looked at Naruto in awe, some in fear, and others passively. But only one stared down Naruto and seemed content to do so.
"My my that's a nice yell you got their Naruto-kun" said Tobi as though Naruto was just another everyday kid
Naruto stared at Tobi for several seconds, the giant statue which shook heavily began to crack and rip apart. Through the fissures in the Statue the Kyuubi's Chakra Flowed out and returned back to Naruto. Naruto's body was overwhelmed at the recoil of such a massive amount of power; His flesh tore apart, long deep gashes cut through Naruto's skin, muscle, and bone as Kyuubi's chakra forced itself back into his body. Naruto's animalistic scowl did not waver once as his body shred itself. Naruto's eyes where completely blood shot. No longer was their white eyes and a blue iris; there was no differentiation. His eyes where just a deep, solid, crimson that seemed to bulge out of his eye sockets as blood pulsated through his body.
"I-Is the Kyuubi going to be released?" asked Miko
"I don't know." Said Jiraiya "There is no telling what they might have done to his seal, or what that statue has done."
"Worse case scenario…" Sarutobi looked over at Jiraiya
Jiraiya nodded and understood what Sarutobi meant
"We need to focus on getting Naruto out of there, first we need to deal with this troublesome barrier" Said the Professor as he maid several hand-seals
"How?" asked Kakashi
"The easiest way is to over power it, but…it seems there is not need." Sarutobi stops his series of hands seals as the Barrier falls on its own accord
"What happened?" asked Zetsu
"There is too much Demonic Chakra in the air, the barrier was dispelled." Answered Tobi
"Hurry!" yelled Kakashi as he bolted towards Naruto
"Not so fast!" yelled Hidan as he threw his Scythe at the charging Jounin
Kakashi easily dodged and pressed forward towards Naruto
Tobi appeared in front of Kakashi before anyone else could react. With the same blinding speed he knees Kakashi in the stomach causing him to stumble backwards. From above appeared Itachi with his Katana drawn and ready to pierce Kakashi's skull.
"Kuchiyose no jutsu!" (Summoning technique)
A Large frog with arm guards appears to absorb Itachi's attack
"Garouga!" yelled Yunko as he tried to pierce through Itachi and Tobi
They both steps aside and where about to retaliate when Naruto started acting up again
The same feral roar passes through all of the Shinobi in the cave causing all of them to stumble.
"Those freakin roars are getting annoying" complained Hidan
"That kid is super charged cause of all that Chakra." Stated Kakuzu
"Everyone! Get away from The Jinchuuriki!" said Pain dissembling and all of the other holograms disappeared as well.
The statue started to move, its hands receded back into the ground but the statue itself grew taller. All of its eyes turned black, they glowed black which was a contradictory that no Shinobi present save for Itachi, had seen before. The statue yet again opened its mouth but this time allowed the scroll to drop on the floor. Its mouth was large. It seemed to take a deep breath but it never exhaled, it just kept sucking in air. All shinobi fought to stay planted on the ground but to no avail. The statue sucked and sucked air (so….so wrong….) the first to fall victim was Hidan who cursed heavily as he was sent into the statue's belly. Second was Orochimaru who used his long tongue to cling onto his partner Sasori, the extra weight caused Sasori, who despite excellent Chakra control, could not hold him and Orochimaru down so he to was taken. The next was one of the three ANBU who flailed in the air. One of the ANBU tried to keep him down but ultimately was taken as well. The two ANBU tried desperately to cling to the Third ANBU member but He would not let them he simple watched as his teammates disappeared. Naruto was the Next one to fall victim to this pressurized vacuum, he unlike the others did not put up a fight, and seemed to go unconscious as his body was drifting off. Jiraiya and the Saindame ran up towards Naruto and tried to hold him in place, they slowed Naruto down but where still dragged at their feet. Kakashi soon jumped forward and tried to help his Kage level companions. And with Kakashi's help Naruto and the others effectively stop several yards in front of the statue.
The statue continues to swallow everything in its presence but after seeing Naruto come to a halt it bends forward.
Everyone in the room looks on as the seemingly lifeless statue moves on its own accord and bends down to get closer to Naruto, Jiraiya, the Saindame, and Kakashi.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING?!" yelled Yunko
"I don't know but all of my insects that it sucked in haven't come back." Stated Juntekoo far to calm for the situation
"We have to help!" yelled Miko "Worse case scenario we'll abandon Naruto and focus solely on Hokage-sama"
They all looked at each other in agreement. They all sprung forth and attached themselves to the clump of people trying to hold Naruto back.
The statue narrowed its suction stream and directly at the clump of shinobi. Its face came closer and it inched itself forward. It opened its mouth wider but still kept the suction focused solely on the Konoha Nins. Jiraiya and Yunko where the first lifted off the ground. Miko and Juntekoo where securing Kakashi by his waste and Kakashi held the Saindame by the arms. While the elderly man kept Naruto fastened safely at his chest.
"I promise you on everything that I am Naruto I won't let you go!" the elderly man said to himself.
The statue inched closer and Jiraiya and Yunko where already in it's mouth but still holding on, soon the Saindame and Naruto where also air-born and in it's mouth. Kakashi held the Saindame by one arm and with his other the old man held Naruto. Jiraiya held on to the old man's legs but was quickly loosing his grip and Mizuchi was clawing into Jiraiya's torso while Yunko held on to Mizuchi's tail.
Mizuchi's grip was the first to falter which sent him and Yunko into the dark abyss that awaited them. The next to tumble into the Statue's stomach was Jiraiya whose grip was stripped due to the Saindame's old pants. Kakashi, Miko, and Juntekoo held as hard as they could to the Saindame and Naruto. The Saindame's whole lower torso was already in the Statue's mouth and it was still inching forward.
"HOKAGE-SAMA!!" yelled Miko and Kakashi in unison
The Hokage looked at the three shinobi the held him fast and gave them a warm smile. He mouthed out "good bye my comrades" as he left go of Kakashi's hand.
"I'm sorry Naruto, but I can't let us all die." Sarutobi thought as he and Naruto tumbled violently down the beast's throat.
The minute the Saindame and Naruto went into the Statue's mouth it stopped its assault. Its mouth promptly shut close and in a flash it resumed its original position. After a very loud and grotesque sounding gulp, the statue made a very familiar sighing sound and quickly descended back into the ground.
"What just happened?" Asked Miko in a disbelieving shock
No one gave her a reply. They all just stared at where the statue was in confusion, anger, and disbelief.

Naruto opened his eyes and all the pain in his body came back to him full force. His weary eyes came across the face of a large and muscular old man who smiled very warmly at Naruto.
"Do not worry child, you shall be safe." Is all the old man said with the same smile as before. Naruto promptly passed out and slumped in the old man's arms.
(DONE)
Well that's chapter one, and I have a few comments. I know Tobi is not suppose to join till later on but since he is Madara and created Akatsuki it's obvious he was around so I'm planning on him just being one of those constant fillers for when they need 10 members. No he does not have his mask he just had on the straw hat and a large collar. Their wasn't much action in this chapter and I kind of completely ignored the Uchiha massacre, just take it as by the time they left they still hadn't realized it. The statue ate all of the Shinobi but none are dead this was the only way I could think about for getting Naruto into the FFCC world. I don't' know if Akatsuki had this statue this early on but they do here so P. There was more but I 4got it for now \. If u have any questions or don't' understand something please feel free to ask. Please review and tell me what you think and if you want to flame then go right ahead ). The crystal chronicles aspect doesn't show up until next chapter. Till then, Adios!
