DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto or Code Geass.
Summary: During the final battle Naruto is thrown into far away universe where racism and oppression is rampant in the country known as Japan, or to Britannians, Area 11. Naruto, finding his resolve, sets out to create peace in this world. 6 years later, he sets his plans in motion, but there was a snag, as someone named Zero emerged.

In this story, Naruto will be 28, so in the final battle, he was 22. Naruto will not have the sharingan, the Rinnegan, nor will he have any other bloodline other than chakra chains. This story will follow canon closely of the Code Geass universe with only a few minor changes. I will admit that I drew inspiration from Jinchuuriki of the Crimson Knightmare, but I will not outright copy him. Also to those Gundam fans, you might recognize the name of the Knightmare.
'You seem to have a reason for living. I am asking if you would like enter a contract with me. In exchange for the power change, you must grant my one wish. Should you accept the power of the Kings, you will be forever alone, but you will live.'
Lelouch, still frantic by what he had witnessed, threw away logic and gave a gut response. 'I ACCEPT YOUR CONTRACT!'
Updated: November 5th, 2014. I have hopefully fixed the tense issues. Past tense and present tense is, admittedly, my Achilles heel.
Chapter 2: Shinjuku pt. 2 Enter the Shining Knightmare
Lelouch's mind is boggled. What was it that he just witnessed? He shakily, and slowly, stood up from his kneeling position. The images of what he witnessed still going through his head; lights flashed through his head, and the image of two planets so close to touching. Two words resounded in his mind.
ABSOLUTE.
OBEDIENCE.
"Hey," he began, bringing his hand to cover his left eye, "what do you think a Britannian who hates his country should do with his life?" Lelouch seemed to have gained a bit of confidence now. He did not know why, but he felt that if...
The commander just smirked and raised his gun at Lelouch. "Are you some kind of radical?" he replied, completely unaware of the exchange that took place in the subconscious of the Britannian student. However, there is something wrong. The boy showed no sign of fear and one of the things he thrived on, was the fear of his victims. It is what drove him as a soldier, seeing the unbridled fear in a persons face. The teenagers and children had the best.
"What's wrong?" Lelouch said. "Why don't you pull the trigger? Or have you realized that only those who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed." He removed his hand to show that his left eye was shining, so much so that the soldiers could not help but look at it. They found themselves paralyzed, their bodies not responding to their mind's commands. A bird appeared to take flight out of his eye and straight at them. "I, Lelouch vi Britannia, order all of you," he paused and made a sweeping motion with his hand, "to die."
On the roof, a masked figure watched the sickening scene through a hole. He saw all the men begin to hysterically laugh. He would have assumed that it was due to the absurdity of the order, if the soldiers had not taken their guns and put a bullet through their necks. 'Was that genjutsu?' the masked figure thought. 'I should have felt it being cast, and that boy, a prince no less, did not use any hand signs. So what did he do? He said his name is Lelouch vi Britannia, is this Clovis' supposedly dead brother?' However, before he could jump down to question the boy, a Sutherland Knightmare Frame rode in.
"What happened here, boy?" a woman's voice came through on the speakers. The masked figure, who if you have not figured out is Naruto then that is sad, discerned her voice as someone of maturity, possibly between 27 and 30 years old. "And why is a Britannian student here in a place like this?" There is a pause before she continued, "Are you deaf?!"
'Oh, she sure has a temper,' Kurama spoke in Naruto's head. He decided to ignore the comment to continue watching the situation.
"Answer me or I will-"
"You will what?" Lelouch replied, only to be answered with large bullets spraying the wall behind him. "I order you to come out, at once!" The light shined again, only this time Naruto saw what happens to the boy's eye. This time, Naruto definitely felt something being cast.
'It feels like a genjutsu, but it is like no genjutsu I have ever felt.' Naruto thought on what he just saw. 'But it obviously had no effect. Do the Knightmares shield it from the genjutsu? No that cannot be it, I tested that. This genjutsu must be from a doujutsu, therefor requires eye contact.'
"My name is Alan Spacer." Naruto continued to watch the events unfold, silently creating shadow clones to start rescuing the civilians in the area. "I am the son of a Duke. I have my ID in my breast pocket, once you have confirmed my identity, I will ask for you to escort me."
'That is some lying right there,' Naruto thought. 'I don't remember ever having lied as well as he did.'
'Nor as quickly.'
'That's right,' Naruto agreed with a shake of his head, until he realized what was just said. 'Shut up you furball!' Kurama's only answer is a chuckle.
The hatch of the Sutherland opened to reveal a gorgeous dark skinned, silver-haired female in an outfit that left NOTHING to the imagination. In fact, if Naruto had not seen something just like that, he would be dying of blood loss via his nose. That is when he recognized the women.
'That's Villetta Nu! She is part of the Purists. Man, Clovis is really pulling out the stops for whatever is going on here.'
'That reminds me,' Kurama begins, 'why are you friends with that racist peacock?' It truly is a wonder. Despite Naruto's status as only half-britannian, he and Prince Clovis were good friends. Was it because his medical supplies have saved more people than he can count. 'Which is not a lot.' Or is it because, well it's Naruto.
'I don't know, really. I always hated his views towards anyone who is not Britannian. I guess it's because once you get passed the racism, he is actually a nice guy, and arrogant guy, but a nice guy nonetheless.'
"Keep your hands up!" Villetta's voice broke Naruto's train of thought on the flamboyant prince.
"Now then," Lelouch said, gaining an evil smirk, "hand over your Knightmare."
'There it is again!' Naruto definitely saw the genjutsu take its hold on Villetta.
Villetta took her gun by the muzzle and handed it over to the prince vi Britannia. "Understood," she said as though she was in a daze. She twirls the key to her Knightmare and tells him the access code. Lelouch passed by her and entered the Knightmare. After pressing the required code, it whirled to life and took off.
Naruto, having received the memory feedback of his shadow clones learned that all the civilians were safe and away from harm, decided to get a closer look at the scene. He jumped down in front of the Purist female and noticed her eyes have a ring of red around them. He takes this as a tell of what happens when people become under the influence of the genjutsu. He placed his hand on Villetta's shoulder and gave her a shake, to see if outside influence will break the jutsu. Whether is worked or not, he can't tell, as she started to come to.
"Wha-" she began, blinking her eyes blearily, as she took in what was in front of her. What she saw frightened her, as a ferocious fox bore it's fangs with red slitted eyes (contacts). She immediately backpedaled and began to fall, only to be caught by a gloved hand.
"Whoa there Ms. Villetta," a voice emanated from the fox. She took a second look and realized it was a man in a mask that is painted to look like a fox.
"Wh- who are you?" She attempted to reach for her gun, only to grab nothing but air. Going for option two, she brought her knee up in between his legs.
Now, you would have thought that Naruto being one of the best ninja to ever come out of the Hidden Leaf Village, that he could stop the onslaught to his crowned jewels. And you would be right, he could, only he knew Villetta. But, he never knew her when she was in military mode. So the knee was unexpected.
"HMPH!" Naruto let out a loud grunt, followed by, "FUCK! What the hell is wrong with you woman?!" Covering his manhood from any further onslaught, he backed away. "What kind of manners does a noblewoman have where that is her first reaction?!"
"Well maybe you should not have gotten so close then!" she retorted to his offensive question. "Now, who are you?!"
Naruto regaining his composure, he picked himself up, ignoring the throbbing pain in his nether region. "Now isn't that paradox. Who indeed. What I am is a man in a mask."
"What paradox? And I can see you are wearing a mask! I want to know who you are! I won't ask again!"
"I mean the paradox of asking a masked man who he is!" Naruto swung his arms out and chuckled to himself. "The very reason for one to wear a mask is to hide ones identity because he, or she, doesn't wish for his, or her, identity to be revealed."
Now Villetta is thoroughly confused and she did not have time to have this crazy conversation with a masked man.
"But if you wish for a name to apply to this mask you may call me… Kurama," Naruto decided to ignore the dark chuckle emanating from his mind.
"Kurama," Villetta let the name roll off of her tongue with slight distaste. 'A Japanese name, he is probably a terrorist.' "What are your intentions then, Kurama?" Identifying intentions when dealing with an unknown entity, a priority for a soldier like herself.
"My intentions?" Naruto brought a hand and cupped the chin of his mask, letting it show that he was thinking on his words. "It is to protect. For too long have I seen people not be able to protect themselves and by extension, their families. Like what you and your Purist friends were doing out here, I will protect the innocent from these atrocities. I am no vigilante, but a defender."
"So," Villetta began with narrowed eyes, "will you kill me for these so-called 'atrocities'?"
A dark chuckle emanated from the masked man, until it became full blown laughter. So much so that the Purist began to think there is a reason he wears a mask. Anyone who laughed like this cannot be sane. "I will not kill you," he said calming down a little. "You are unarmed and at my mercy." He pointed to her chest and the telltale sign of a sniper is taking aim at her chest. However, unknown to her, it is a shadow clone that is shining a laser pointer. "As of now you have no more power than the Japanese you have killed this day. I'm in power here. But I did say I will not kill you, so..." He raises his hand as a signal and the red dot that was on Villetta goes away. "Let me show you something." Naruto placed his hand on her shoulder and she suddenly found herself on top of the roof.
"How did you do that?" Villetta said as she stumbled back a bit. 'How are we up here?'
"I am simply just one hell of ninja," he replies, letting it slip of just what kind of person she was dealing with. "You are going to have a front row seat of my capabilities and just how dangerous I am." She looked at the man with a confused expression. Does he have a Knightmare? "I want you to witness this first hand. You will be my messenger, because you, my dear Villetta, will tell the tale of Kurama's rise."
'You are so full of yourself.'
'Be happy I'm using your name to instill fear into the military and politicians of Britannia.' Kurama just let out a grunt. After that Naruto disappeared again.
Naruto: Pilot of Knightmare Exia
"So are we having a bad day~?" a voice resounde through the room, jolting Suzaku Kururugi into the land of the living. "It looks like you missed your chance to go to heaven, Private Kururugi," the voice echoed in his head again as he painfully sat up.
"Where?" is the only word he was able to muster due to the pain. Everything around him began to take form as he realized that he was on a bed and in a medical truck. The smell of cleaning alcohol perforated his senses. Looking down he realized that he is bandaged up around his chest and side, where most of the pain emanated from.
"You are still in the Shinjuku ghetto, I'm afraid," the same voice from earlier answered his question. Suzaku looked up to see the voice belonged to a pale, blue eyed man in a lab coat and glasses.
"With Prince Clovis nearby," a purple haired lady standing behind the man announced her presence, "this is probably safest place." She brought forth a broken pocket watch, one that Suzaku immediately recognized. "This is what saved you."
"You're lucky you had it under your protective suit, because it deflected the bullet."
The lady's face went from a happy expression to a frown. "Was… it a keepsake?"
Suzaku had a sad face on his look, but it is not for the loss of the pocket watch. 'Why? I don't deserve to live for what I did to get that watch, especially this being the reason for me living.' "Yes, very."
"You Elevens believe that gods live in everything, even objects," the scientist stated as-a-matter-of-factly. "I guess this one rings true."
"Is Lelou-" Suzaku began, remembering he was not alone when he was shot. He stopped short of saying his name, thinking that he will pursue a search later. 'If he is not here with me, that means he either is dead, or he got away.' "What's the situation?"
"It looks like the poison gas was released. Massive Eleven casualties have been reported." The scientist had a really creepy grin on his face, it is really starting to bother the soldier. "Private Kururugi, how much experience do you have piloting a Knightmare frame?"
A look of confusion forms on the Honorary Britannian's face. 'A Knightmare?' No Honorary Britannian has ever become a knight. He would be the first. "But, no Eleven has ever become a knight." He has no idea what is going on, but he felt that his life will forever be altered. He was right when the scientist's grin got very wide as he held up a Knightmare key.
Naruto: Pilot of Knightmare Exia
Back in the one armed Glasgow, the red haired pilot fired off a slash harken and destroyed a tank that was attempting to shoot at some civilians running away. The bullets never reached them as a masked man appeared out of nowhere and grabbed the civilians.
The girl in the Knightmare has tears in her eyes and her face is set in an expression of unbridled rage. "You damn Britannians!" she cried out. There is a fire in her eyes the likes of which no one has ever seen.
"Kallen!" a man's voice came from the radio the now identified Kallen had taped to the console. "Can the Glasgow still move?!"
"Don't worry Ohgi!" Kallen responded. "I will be alright, you worry about getting the people to safety!" Getting innocents out of the line of fire is the first priority.
"Don't worry about the civilians," a calm, adult voice came through on the radio. "I have personally seen to their safety. You people need to focus on staying alive."
"What?" Ohgi/Kallen voiced their disbelief. "How did you get this frequency?" said Kallen. All that she got in response is a chuckle. "What is so funny?"
"It's because you are not in a position to be questioning how I tapped into your frequency," the voice calmly replied. Both Kallen and Ohgi are unable to discern just who this person was. There is no identifiable accent, so they cannot tell if the person is Britannian or Japanese. "You may call me Kurama. Just know that I am on your side and today, history will be made."
"Wait!" Kallen replies, but she had no time to further her speech as the two Sutherlands that were pursuing her before appear. "Shit!" She punched the Glasgow into high gear and takes off around the corner. 'Shit, shit, shit, shit!' She was getting desperate, she needed a way out. The energy meter began to go off, signifying that she is running low. "Just thirty minutes left?!" she had been operating this machine for a while now.
"The west entrance," another voice, this one definitely younger, came through on the radio.
"HOW IS EVERYONE GETTING THIS RADIO FREQUENCY?!" she exclaimed. It is beginning to get really annoying. "DO THE BRITANNIAN'S HAVE OUR RADIO?"
"Use the tracks to get to the west entrance," the voice came through again. "If you want to win, you will have to trust me."
'To win', a phrase that she was unfamiliar with. Against the Britannians, defeat was all the Japanese has ever felt. Victory, was a concept the Japanese did not know. She decided to take a leap of faith.
With a jump, she got the her Glasgow onto the train tracks. After she takes off, she is immediately pursued by the two Sutherlands.
"Now, why do you run?" the first Sutherland's pilot spoke over the speaker. "There is no thrill in the hunt when you don't fight back." Kallen wanted nothing more than to kick the man in the face.
"Because you trusted me, you get to win." There is a pause in speech. "Jump onto the train."
Kallen responded by complying with the 2nd radio voice. Jumping onto the train, she got to the first car and jumps to the next. The Sutherland behind her grabbed the train and it screeched to a halt. The second Sutherland jumped to pursue the Glasgow, but it was halted by a slash harken and a barrage of bullets that came from a Sutherland in the building to the left. Next thing that happened was it began to fire upon the first Sutherland, causing the blue haired pilot on the inside to eject.
"You saved me," said Kallen. "How did you get a hold of a Sutherland? Huh?" She noticed that her savior had disappeared.
"Kallen!" she looked over and sees Ohgi come running up with his group in tow.
Naruto: Pilot of Knightmare Exia
"ALLLLLLLLLLRIGHT!" Naruto yelled as he stretched out and popped his back. Pulling out 6 tri-pronged kunai, he gave them a toss to the middle of the battlefield. Going through several hand signs, 6 became 100. As the kunai littered the battlefield, Naruto pulled out a scroll and unfurled it on the ground. Placing his hand on the symbol on the scroll there is a giant poof of smoke. "Ahh… My baby!"
The smoke cleared away to reveal a Knightmare frame the likes of which has never been seen before. Standing at 4.5 meters tall, this Knightmare was all white with a blue chest and shoulders. On the back, there were four protrusion, two from the shoulder, and two from the hip. There was a fifth protrusion that was more rounded off. It looked like it is some kind of engine. On the two arms of Knightmare were two blades respectively that folded along the arm. The slash harkens sat on the wrist of the frame. On the right arm sat a large shield. And of course the land spinners attached to the legs.
All in all, the Knightmare was insanely impressive. "My Knightmare is the best!" It was Naruto's greatest achievement to date. He designed and built it all by himself; so he is immensely proud of it. After admiring his masterpiece, he jumped into the open cockpit. The leather seats conforming to his back as he sat down. The Knightmare came to life with the push of a button. The lights and the screen that gives him 270 degrees of vision blinks alive. Naruto began to grin behind his mask. This was exciting.
Placing the radio he swiped from one of the terrorists, he turned up the volume and placed on the dash. "-through the wall," Naruto recognized the voice as the prince with the doujutsu.
"Everyone, check your weapons!" was the reply from what Naruto recognized as Ohgi. The man had taken over Naoto's resistance fighters. He also recognized Naoto's little sister earlier. It has been a few years since he had seen little Kallen.
"Alright," Naruto begins, getting exclamations of confusion on the radio. "K-1, this is Kurama, or you can call me a Gold General." The Gold General, one of the pieces in the game Shogi, the Japanese version of Chess. A fitting designation for someone like him. "K-1, I will enter the battle when I see the opportunity to make my debut. My custom Knightmare's engine will disrupt all communications."
"What kind of engine does that?" came the reply of the prince.
"One of my own design," is the only reply the prince will get.
"Fine, Kurama, if your engine does do that then it would be best if you entered only when you need to." He was sure that Lelouch did not like this, but at least he had warning. The stories he had heard from Clovis about Lelouch spoke volumes of how much of a control freak he was.
Naruto sat back and waited for the opportunity to take the field presented itself. After several minutes, he had to hand it to Lelouch, he was a brilliant strategist. He was actually making this resistance group look like a disciplined army worthy of posing a threat to Britannia.
"Q-1, do you have a map of the area?" the prince voiced over the radio.
Naruto saw the map he had and noticed the move that Clovis is making. Quickly picking up the radio he had, Naruto pressed the button. "Don't bother," he started. "Clovis just ordered a break in formation. I am bored here so I'm jumping in. Everyone pull back, I don't want you getting in the crossfire. Remember, all communications will be out. Go through the tunnels, there is a storage area at the end of it." Turning off the radio, Naruto started his GN drive. "OAAAAAAKAAAAAAAY!" He thrust his controls forward as Exia surged into the battlefield and he disappeared in a yellow flash.
Reappearing in the middle of four Sutherlands, Naruto released Exia's right blade and twirled around, bisecting the Knightmares like they were butter. Glancing over he saw another Knightmare take aim at him. Flashing away once more, he got behind the frame that fired at him. With an uppercut, he cuts off the arm holding gun. After this, all five Knightmares eject.
Flashing away again, Naruto releases the second arm blade and starts cutting Sutherlands like there was no tormorrow. Using his slash harkens to propel himself into the air, Naruto retracts them and engages his flight mode. He surged toward the next three Knightmares in his sight with a spin and took them out.
Back at Clovis' transport, he began to sweat. They tried contacting the other Knights with no success. It is like all the radios were shut off. Only the IFF signals were received. So when 5 Knightmares show ejection, panic set in. Then it was 6, then 7, 8, 9. 11. 15. 18! 18 Knightmares are forced to eject. What was going on! "Bartley!" he snapped, grabbing the attention of the overweight General. "Send someone to tell that maniac Lloyd to send his toy out!"
A/N: I was so excited about this chapter that I had to write and get it out. A few things first. Firstly, I will announce the intended pairing on the next chapter. Secondly, no harem. I despise harems except on actual anime or manga where a harem is a part of the original story. And thirdly, I believe Lloyd Asplund is the best comic relief ever. By the way, first person who identifies the reference gets a shout out!
Read and Review, it's just good manners.
