Author's Note: I'm doing this to get me back into writing as I want to finish several books that I had intended to get published some years ago. I'm hoping this will help me get back into writing and to help improve my writing skills. So feedback is greatly appreciated.

Also this is technically a crossover, however cannot be placed in the crossovers. This is because the other story of which is crossing over into the Naruto story, is a story I was writing and haven't published yet.

This also takes place before the final movie. (not going to give any spoilers here) Thus will not have the same character progression and will be centered in a point of time where there is no big enemies to face. This is partly due to me adding in a new threat for everyone to face. You'll have to forgive me a bit as I've fallen behind on Naruto. So to compensate this the story will happen after the battle with Obito, so all major villains have been dealt with and the fourth great ninja war is at an end. Naruto will be sixteen and have gained Kurama's trust.

Furthermore this story will be told in the main character's point of view, with the exception of when the main character is not in proper state of mind and when the main character is not in the specific part of the story being told.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. I do however own everything else in this story. (If you find this statement incorrect, please tell me exactly what it is you find so that I may correct it.)

Reading directions.

This is the character thinking.

This is the nine tailed Fox speaking.

In a field outside of Konoha

"Are you sure about this?" A voice spoke from behind her. It was a deep and gruff voice, one that sounded as though it belonged to someone who had seen more war than any human should ever see.

The girl stood in silence for a moment, the wind lifting her black hair ever so gently, like a sheet of midnight sky. She wore a suit of steel plate and scale armor beneath it, both finely crafted to fit her form, and a dark brown cloak fluttering lazily in the wind.

"If I don't do this. . .then my promise will have meant nothing. You know how I feel about keeping my promises."

The owner of the gruff voice gave a simple, "Humph," and there was only the sound of the wind left.

The girl now stood alone, her traveling companion having left her to return to their own lands. Now the girl stepped forward, stepping into the lands of the elemental nations, and stepping closer to fulfilling a promise made so long ago. . .

Konoha

The two ninjas sat bored in their hut at the village gate. Their job was an easy one, yet tiring nonetheless. One was a young woman, whom had a single scar running vertically down her jaw bone, about two inches in length. It was the only blemish upon her otherwise very attractive face. She had long brown hair that reached down to her shoulders, and wore a simple black bandana atop her head. The other ninja was rather unremarkable, sitting with his head leaning back and snoring softly as he slept. This left the young woman to do all the work unfortunately.

"State your name and reason for visiting the village." the ninja droned for the hundredth time that day.

"I've come to speak with the Hokage." a voice replied in a serious and straight forward manner.

The ninja looked up from her paperwork and blinked in surprise. Before her stood a girl of maybe fourteen years old, with a dark brown cloak, and steel armor. She was attractive, even for a fourteen year old, with midnight black hair, slightly pale skin, and bright red eyes. Her facial features while quite good looking, gave the impression that one of her parents were from another land outside of the elemental nations. Her armor as well seemed to belong to another land. Though the girl appeared to be on the short size, being a few inches shorter than many other teenagers at fourteen.

"If you've come to request aid of the village I'm afraid you can't see the Hokage directly. You will need to fill out a form and submit your request." spoke the ninja blandly.

"I must speak with her." the girl replied.

"I'm sorry but you you will have to fill out the forms like everyone else."

"Aaah! Just take her to see the Hokage already!" the second Gatekeeper groaned in annoyance having awoken from his nap.

"But-" started the woman before she was cut off.

"Listen, if she's dressed like that and needs to see the Hokage than there must be something important going on don't you think?"

"But!" she said again.

"If this is a political issue you really shouldn't be holding the girl up like this."

"Fine!" she grumbled.

Then turning back to the girl she said, "I will escort you to see lady Hokage."

"Thank you for your compliance." the girl replied.

The Girl's Point of View

I followed in step beside the female ninja as we left the gate behind us. The streets of the village bustled with activity as civilians went about their daily lives. Shops and street vendors sold their various products, wares, and produce, while shoppers spent their hard earned money.

I did not look about as we walked. Instead I used my peripherals to examine the village as we traveled through it. Ninja where literally everywhere. Walking among the civilians on the streets, running and leaping across rooftops, and some hidden from sight entirely. Although the village lacked in any form of defense structures save the massive wall guarding its front, the amount of ninja I both saw and didn't see were likely only a handful of those whom called this place home. I decided that the size of its military forces was how this village protected itself in times of war, as there was no real defensive capability in its construction.

I looked up at the massive cliff face as we drew closer to the Hokage's mansion, and gazed upon the faces of Hokage's both past and current upon it. I thought about how it was such a place had managed to survive this long. Perhaps it's military forces were skilled enough that they didn't need insurmountable towers and walls? Or perhaps they used diplomacy to survive all this time? In either case this village seemed to be the central point of power in the land of fire and would undoubtedly have enemies.

We reached the mansion and entered it without a word. The female ninja guided me along its halls and up its stairs until we reached a closed wooden door. There the female ninja knocked gently.

"Come in." a voice replied on the other side.

My guide opened the door and ushered me inside, closing it behind us and leading me to stand in the middle of the room. The room was circular and for the most part empty, opening up to a balcony on the opposite side from the entrance. Between me and that balcony was a single desk piled with opened scrolls and paperwork. Sitting behind the desk was a woman with long blond hair brought back into a pair of ponytails and brown eyes. She had a blueish purple tattoo the shape of a diamond on her forehead.

Holy crap those are the biggest breasts I've ever seen!

I stared for a moment in shock then ripped my focus from her cleavage and looked at the woman standing beside the desk. This woman was almost a painfully sharp contrast to the other. This one had short black hair and ebony black eyes. Her chest was utterly flat and devoid of any cleavage. I was silently grateful that I had an average bust that was proportional to the rest of my body. However these were not the only people here. I felt the presence of several that were hidden, though I did not know how many. They were likely the Hokage's personal guard.

"Hokage-sama, this girl has requested a meeting with you."

The blond woman looked me over and studied me for a moment. I felt uneasy under her gaze, but I stood firm. I wasn't willing to let her unnerve me.

"Thank you," the Hokage said after a moment. "You may leave."

The ninja whom guided me here bowed and exited the room, leaving us alone with the exception of the guards I knew were hidden nearby.

"What is your name and why have you come to see me?" The Hokage asked.

I cleared my throat and prepared to speak. However my words caught in my throat and would not form. I stood silent for a moment, not believing that I was actually here. I had waited so long and worked so hard just to reach this point. Just to learn if it were possible to fulfill my promise. I had trained since I was six years old. For eight long years I shed blood, sweat, and tears to become strong enough that I might fulfill the promise I had made so long ago. And now here I was, standing before one of the few people who might be able to tell me what I needed to know to fulfill that promise. Yet I remained silent. God I hate myself so much right now.

"I'm waiting. . ." the Hokage stated, shaking me from my silence.

I clear my throat again and this time I do not remain silent. I speak my words strong and proudly, placing my whole being into them.

"My name is Nodoka Uzumaki!"
