Author's Notes: I do not own Fate/Stay Night or it associated media such as Fate/Grand Order nor do I own Naruto

Naruto slowly pulled himself out of the comfortable bed as began to realize the events of yesterday were real and not some ramen induced fever dream. He would shed some tears right now for the fact that his parents loved him and the fact he would never be able to meet them, but he understood he had to be strong to get justice for his parents. He also now understood why people shunned him, sort of anyway, but he wanted to talk to Vivian to clear a few things up. Truthfully though he wished he could be acknowledged by the people around him, but he had grown apathetic towards them as a whole and he realized he did not need their affection but their cooperation to succeed.

As he looked around for Viviane he spotted a nearby table that a small little not on it with some breakfast on the side. Deciding to look for her after he finished eating breakfast, Naruto began to eat through anything that was on the table as he realized he hasn't eaten anything substantial in a while.

While enjoying his breakfast, Naruto began to read the note which said 'Hello Naruto, I have to do some last minute preparation before we can get started, so enjoy the breakfast I made you and I should be back in half an hour or so.' Naruto smiled a little as the fact he had someone other than the old man that was willing to help him.

As he finished his breakfast, Naruto felt a subtle tap on his shoulder which caused him to turn around to find Vivian carrying a bag of stuff.

"Naruto before we begin I want to ask you, do you want to go through with this?"

Naruto knew the answer to that answer simple question. He would go through with it for selfish reasons such as power, revenge, and answers but also a chance to something no one would expect him to do, to save the world.

"I will go through with it and I will see through the end."

"I see if that's your answer hold my hand."

Nodding his head in confirmation, Naruto grabbed hold of her hand and a near instant near instant they arrived at their destination.
Naruto immediately noticed the environment wasn't really that much different with but there was a big circle with many weird symbols and designs on the ground.

"Well, Naruto are you ready to meet your teacher?"

"Uhh, question Viviane...ugh….where is he suppose to be? I mean there not many spots to hide out here?"

"Silly Naruto I'm going to summon him, so pay close attention to me as I do this."

Heeding the lady's words Naruto watched as she gracefully walked towards the circle and carefully placed down a piece of blue cloth. With that done she whispered something that Naruto could barely hear but what parts he heard sounded like complete gibberish, but whatever she did worked as the world exploded into light, forcing Naruto to close his eyes.

When he opened his eyes he saw where Vivian was once was, but she was no longer there. Instead the beautiful redhead he saw a tall blonde man with a blue cape caring a large sword that radiated warmth.

The man saw no one else besides the little blonde boy, but he could not feel a connection with him so he decided to solve his master problem later and greet the awkwardly standing boy.

"I am Gawain, a Knight of the Round Table." He introduced himself while offering a handshake before asking him "What is your name?"

Naruto wasn't used to talking to interacting with people and awkwardly shook his hand while saying " My name is Naruto."

"It is nice to meet you Naruto, but I must wonder are you master."

Naruto thought to himself a few things such as what does he mean by 'master' and where is Vivian while Gawain just stood there waiting for an answer for a few minutes.

"Sorry I forgot something so had to pick it up really quickly and Gawain I am your master," Viviane said from out of the blue.

Gawain turned towards the voice and immediately kneeled before her as soon as he recognized the lady.

"Lady of the Lake it is an honor to serve you in the holy grail war. What is your plan for victory my lady."

"Ouhh that won't be necessary Gawain as I did not summon you for a holy grail war"

"Then what is my duty, Lady of the Lake?"

"Rise, my knight, I need you to help train Naruto in the ways of a knight."

"I understand my lady."

"Good before we start I will explain the situation to you later, but before you begin training Naruto, I want to talk to Naruto"

"As you wish," Gawain said before astralizing.

"Naruto if you want it back out now I will understand-

"Vivian, I won't back down."

Vivian did not what Naruto to get hurt, especially for the sake of her and Merlin, but she realized that on the current path that he was taking Naruto will get into many dangerous fights plus the world is at stake. So perhaps it would be best if he had some initial training and guidance to help make the most of it.

"Okay, well your teacher was a knight of the round table, one the best warriors of his era, he a kind and sincere person who will be able to teach you to the best of his abilities and if you ever need to talk to someone he is a good listener."

Taking all the information in Naruto looked at the rising sun and felt like this is a chance for him to become something bigger than what he currently was so with a slight smile he asked Vivian "So when do we start ?"

"Whenever you are ready" Vivian replied while placing a hand on Naruto's Shoulder.

"I am ready" Naruto responded immediately with determination.

"Okay then, swing by the lake once a week like you usually do to train and the rest of what you learn will come from Gawain as the sword you wield needs a few finishing touches that Marlin and I will be working on.

Naruto nodded his head and wondered what training with Gawain will be like.

"Gawain you may come back now."

"I see your talk with Naruto is over" the knight commented as he waited for her next command.

"Well, I will be leaving Naruto in your hand now Gawain. I will check every so often to how he is progressing."

"I understand my lady."

"Well I'll be going now, have fun training," she said as she began to walk away from the blonde duo.

Gawain observed the boy and came to a few conclusion for one Naruto was not in the best of shape as it seems his diet is rather limited which would hinder his future growth. The first things first would be to do simple exercises that will set him on the right paths and the next thing to do is ask the lady of the lake to acquire Naruto a suitable supply of nutritional foods.

"Naruto lets start out light, I want you to start with 30 push up, 20 situps and a kilometer jog," the knight of the sun asked Naruto.

"Yes sir" Naruto responded as he began to start out his workout. Naruto knew he far away from avenging his parents, but he wondered to himself what will he do afterward. What would he do after he killed the masked man? He knew that the village did not see him in the best of light so becoming the Hokage was a crackpot dream, and what would the others think as he became more powerful? Maybe becoming a shinobi is not the best course of action as even though grandfather is kind to me he is still the Hokage, which means he has to look out for the village as a whole. Why can't things be simpler? Why does fate so cruel...it doesn't matter I have to be strong if I am to survive such a cruel world. I need to-

"You can stop now Naruto you went above and beyond what I expected from someone so young, you did 120 pushups 100 situps and you ran for 5 kilometers"

Naruto gave the knight a confused look before wondering how long he had been thinking about the future. "Did I really do that?" he asked earnestly as he wanted to make sure Gawain was not joking.

"Indeed you did with such gusto it seems like I need to up my training if you are to progress" he stated proudly before tossing Naruto a wooden longsword.

Naruto looked at the wooden blade. It seems just like a regular training sword except it was different from any other blade he has seen. It was double-edged and it had a cross-like shape at the hilt.

"What type of sword is this" Naruto asked out curiosity.

"It's a longsword the type of sword I assume the lady of the lake and Merlin are creating for you. I want to help you to become a master swordsman before you wield such a blade."

"I understand."

"Good, now watch me carefully," he said with a lighthearted smile.

Gawain performed simple set motions that mainly helped with practicing and perfecting the alignment of a sword. After performing the simple exercise Gawain gestured Naruto to try out for himself.

Naruto tried to copy what Gawain showed him, but while he was able to get the general gist of it, his swings were sloppy and haphazard. Though this was to expected as Gawain did not expect Naruto to be a master swordsman in a day though he has to give the boy credit as he seemed focused on perfecting as every time he tried the exercise he slightly improved every time.

Having seen enough, it was time Gawain for him to discuss being a knight is.

"Naruto you can stop going through the exercise I showed you. It time to learn what it means to be a knight. Truthfully I not sure I'm the most qualified to be discussing what it means to be a knight as I believe my king would be better at discussing such a topic, but I'll do my best" Gawain said to Naruto as he took a seat on a nearby stump.

"To start, a knight should always be loyal to his king. While it seems simple it is more difficult than it seems as great men have always been plagued by greed and ambition. There may come a point where you believe you would be a better fit as a leader and what take control yourself, but beware for such thing may lead to calamity such as in my time a treacherous knight by the name of Mordred came out against the king for his own selfish ambition. This lead to ultimate destruction of the kingdom and the death of my king" Gawain sighed as vividly remembered the final clash at Camlann.


"It over Mordred, your rebellion ends here today," Gawain shouted to the treacherous knight.

"Stand out my Gawain this is between me and my father," Mordred commanded the lone knight of the sun.

"You have no right to call my king your father," Gawain said as he powered up Excalibur Galatine.

"Fine have it your way and perish with the rest" Mordred yelled as he charged at the knight.


"Ugh, Gawain can you please continue" asked Naruto.

"Oh sorry about that, I was thinking about Camlann a bit too much," Gawain said as he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Are you alright?" Naruto asked Gawain attentively as it was not exactly normal to space out in the middle of a lecture.

"I'm fine it's just an unpleasant memory. Continuing on a knight must have control of his emotions as acting irrationality could lead to dangerous consequences." Gawain stated to Naruto but at the back of his mind he felt like hypocrite for saying such a thing as it was inability to let go of his anger against Lancelot, for him killing his brothers and his initial betray of the king, that may of lead to death of their king that they served as he refused to let Lancelot join them in their final battle against Mordred.

"A knight should not look down upon an opponent, but confront them with politeness while maintaining his fighting spirit and resolve even when the opponent lacks in skill or capacity," Gawain said to Naruto, who seemed to be understanding the underlying meaning of what Gawain said.

"The last principle I want to discuss is something that makes no sense in the sense from what information I have received, your world uses Shinobi which in essence would be exact opposite of a knight as shinobi should be pragmatic and use tricks that are deemed dishonorable ,but a knight should be honorable and follow the codes of chivalry that call for direct and honorable confrontation of enemy. Such may be impossible in this world, but I highly recommend such a confrontation when possible though it is up to your discretion." Gawain commented as he realized he will have to teach Naruto tactics as soon as possible as in such a world where shinobi are the dominant fighting force, the mind would be the most powerful asset a warrior could wield.

"That will be all for today Naruto. If you have any questions, please ask as I will try to answer to the best of my ability."

Naruto thought to himself for a bit and realized he really had no question as everything seemed straightforward, except there was one thing wondered. He wondered what happened to Gawain. He knew he died as he was a summoned spirit or something, but when and how. He mentioned something about at Camlann so perhaps it had to something with it.

Naruto looked Gawain straight into the eyes and asked: "what happened to you at the battle of Camlann."

Gawain slightly recoiled at the question, but quickly put his shock away before answering Naruto's question "Well….during the battle I confronted Mordred and engaged him in combat….it was an epic battle, but I was slain before the king could arrive…..the traitor struck an old wound, which would lead to my demise…"

"I-"

"Its fine...but its all in the past" Gawain interrupted as he noticed the young boy was about to apologize over something that caused no harm.

"You should get going before someone begins to worry about."
Naruto then remembered that he had to back in Konoha before someone notices he was missing or worse if gramps gets worried and send the ANBU to find him.

"Yes sir" Naruto replied to Gawain before rushing off.

A few minutes later Naruto came back slightly exhausted and confused as realized he does not know how to get out of here…."Ugh, Gawain how to I get out here?"

Truthfully the knight did not know, but before he could respond the Lady of the lake appeared before them.

"So how was your first day Naruto?"

"It was fine Viviane, but I've been wondering ugh...how to get out here?"

"I got that covered. Just close your eyes and you will be out the lake in no time."

Naruto followed the lady's instruction, and then when finally opened his eyes, he realized he was back in the woods where the lake was. He smiled for a bit before making his way back to Konoha.

As he snuck back on the village, he couldn't help and feel happy as this was the best birthday he ever had. He made some new friends, found out the truth of who his parents were and that they actually loved him. It also revealed why people disliked him, but more importantly, it revealed that he had the Kyuubi sealed inside of him. How would he deal, he did not know, but, for now, he will focus on the more positive side of things.

Back in the lake as Gawain and Viviane chatted about the future, Gawain asked: " Do you intend to give him a blessing?"

"Well of course, but I'm not sure what to give him yet and I may also give a tip or two on magic and chakra."

"In any case, he still has a long way to go, but I believe he can easily surpass our expectations and perhaps even surpass are legends."
