Hey, what's up? Fan of Fanfics back with my revolutionary Naruto Matrix crossover with the mouthful of a title. Before we get started, I've got a few things to say.

First off, if you didn't catch what I said in the first chapter, Naruto will be paired with Sati. I'm going with a back-story where her shell as a little girl was terminated at some point between the end of Revolutions and the beginning of this story, and her new shell is that of a teenage girl, around the Rookie nine's age. If anyone can guess why I made Sati so important in this story, the first one to do it will be sent a preview of the next chapter of ANY of my stories of their choosing before it even is published, or a preview of any of my non-published stories.

Next, just would like to say, I am a registered Beta Reader now… What…you were expecting more? Nope, that's it; I just wanted to tell you.

Now, on with the story

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or The Matrix Trilogy

Turning toward the source of the sound, Gato almost screamed as he saw Naruto, or more importantly, what was under him. He seemed to be standing on a metal squid with many glowing red eyes.

Naruto was gladly gulping down the air, as he hadn't been able to get a breath before the sentinel pulled him into the water.

As Naruto stepped down onto the bridge, Kakashi noted that Naruto was carrying himself differently than normal. He also saw that Naruto's normal expression was gone, replaced by an ever so slight smirk and cold, calculating eyes, though even behind those, Kakashi could almost sense something more.

However, he too was almost frightened at the monstrosity which Naruto had been standing on. It looked like some mechanical squid with many tentacle-like appendages and numerous glowing eyes. As Naruto stepped down, it seemed to hover around above Naruto's head, giving it the appearance of swimming through the air itself.

"Kakashi-sensei…what happened here?" asked Naruto. Now Kakashi knew something was definitely wrong. The way Naruto spoke, it was slow, deliberate. That wasn't like Naruto at all. Naruto looked around for a moment. He took note of how everyone seemed to be separated into two sides. Naruto guessed that Gato must have betrayed Zabuza for some reason, because by any point of view, it appeared as though he was ready to attack his employer.

"What should be done with them" echoed a voice, which seemed to shock Naruto back to his normal self. Looking around, nobody seemed to hear the voice but him. Continuing to look around, Naruto noticed that the sentinel was facing him.

"Was that you?" he thought to himself, not expecting anything, however…

"Yes…What should be done with them" Once again Naruto heard the "voice" of the sentinel. Feeling odd for some reason, Naruto indicated the group of thugs with Gato, before standing up straight and in a commanding voice that scared those on the bridge, said…

"Terminate them." This got several wide eyes from the others who were in earshot. The sentinel then faced the thug army before stretching out its tentacles in front of itself, many of them with sharp claw-like appendages at the end.

The sentinel shook before sending out what seemed to be an energy pulse of some kind, knocking back several of those on the bridge. Everyone seemed shaken but ok.

Gato, gaining back some of his cockiness began laughing.

"Wow…I'm so scared" he said. "Looks like your little pet squid is a hunk of junk. Boys, put it out of its misery" he finished; his army gaining back some of their confidence. However, everything that had been gained back was lost again, as several splashes were heard and nine more sentinels flew up onto the bridge to join the first. The sentinels then began attacking en-masse, flying straight into the heart of the thug army, grabbing several of them and literally ripping their limbs off before simply crushing their skulls or throwing them over the side of the bridge.

A few of them would also use their tentacles to stab through the thugs while others were held still and hit with a red beam, killing them instantly. As Gato's army was being slaughtered, the crime lord himself attempted to sneak away. Attempted being the key word. In running away, he managed to run right into Zabuza, who even without the use of his arms killed the little man by kicking him down and delivering a sickening, skull-crushing stomp to his head.

As the last of the thugs were finished off, the sentinels began floating above Naruto, as if they went from cold, killing machines, to peaceful, non-violent creatures. One of them flew down and landed on the bridge, giving what appeared to be a bow to Naruto.

"It is done, sir" rang the sentinel's voice in Naruto's head once again. Naruto was about to respond, however, he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head. The pain got larger and larger, feeling to Naruto as if his head was going to break open from the inside.

Kakashi watched the "thing" bow to Naruto, before his student clutched his head and began screaming in pain before passing out on the bridge.

Naruto awoke to find himself in an endless white hallway filled with doors. As he looked around, one of the programs he met earlier…Seraph…came out of one of the doors and bowed to Naruto.

"What the hell is going on?" shouted Naruto. "It felt like my head was gonna explode"

"I must apologize" replied Seraph. "We are currently transferring any and all information relevant to your current situation directly into your mind. You also are getting used to more than one presence that can roam freely in your mind, thus, your very personality will become something of a compilation of every program currently in your mind. The more prominent ones will be shown more often. That is why you felt such pain. It is a lot to take in, and you could not handle it, so you passed out. We are currently quite safe inside your mind" he finished, indicating for Naruto to follow him down the hall.

As they walked, Naruto began to get curious.

"So what kind of information is relevant to my "current situation?" asked Naruto.

"At the present time, you are learning how to fight, utilizing every fighting style created before the shinobi era, and several created after. We are also giving you knowledge of weapons, machines, psychology, and almost anything you can think of. Several jutsu as well. We have several small drones active throughout the world, recording data and sending it back to the source, which is now also directly linked to your mind" replied Seraph.

"Ok…why did those sentinel things listen to me?" asked Naruto.

"A sentinel leader once downloaded itself as a program known as the General onto the Matrix. As you now posses the General's program, as well as house most important programs and exiles, most machines will obey your commands" said Seraph, removing a key from a pocket.

"Ok, you said my mind is now linked to this Source thing. Does that mean that I can gain access to the Matrix?" asked Naruto as Seraph unlocked one of the doors and indicated for him to step through it.

"I don't know. You would have to ask the Oracle or the Architect" replied Seraph as Naruto walked through into what looked to be an apartment of some sort. Naruto turned around to find the door closed and Seraph gone. Opening the door, Naruto watched him walk further down the hallway, remove another key from his pocket, and use it to enter another door. Closing the door once again, Naruto turned around and walked right into someone.

The girl seemed to be around the same age as him. She had long braided, black hair and brown eyes, along with a very light brown skin tone. She wore a white sleeveless shirt and black pants. Bending down, she picked up a metal tray, along with several…cookies…that had been dropped when the two had bumped into each other.

Naruto bent down to help and the two began picking up the rest of the cookies that had fallen. When they finished, both stood up and Naruto got a good look at her. He had to admit, she was rather cute. He was brought out of his musings as she offered him one of the few cookies that had managed to stay on the tray when it fell.

"You must be Naruto" she said as he took a bite from the cookie, his eyes lighting up as if it were the best thing he had ever tasted. "The Oracle and the Architect are expecting you. This way" she said as she walked through what appeared to be a living room, through a doorway that instead of a door, had strings of beads hanging in it.

Walking inside, he saw that he was in a kitchen, the girl from before standing next to the Oracle, who was sitting smoking. On the other side of the table, the Architect was seated, face as serious as ever.

"Well now, it took a lot of work, but I think we did a good job of redecorating" said the Oracle, getting a smile from the girl and a confused look from Naruto.

"Us you've already met" said the Oracle, indicating the Architect and herself. "This" she continued, "is Sati."

"Which brings us to the point of you being here. We have brought you here to meet the many other programs now residing here" said the Architect. "As I have said before, with the use of your chakra, you could replicate several abilities of the programs residing here. With the chakra of Kyuubi, or as he referred to it "youki" you should be able replicate several more."

"This" he continued, removing a key from his pocket, "is the Master Key. Each major program has set up their own domain inside your mind. The entrance to each domain is represented by the doors in your mind. You can either open up a door to the hallway you arrived in, or focus on which domain you wish to enter" he finished, standing up and handing Naruto the key, before leaving.

As he left, Naruto watched Sati stick her tongue out at the back of the Architect.

"Is he always like that?" asked Naruto, eliciting a "Yes" from the Oracle and Sati simultaneously. "So, these other programs, are any of them seriously dangerous?" he asked.

"Oh, most of them" replied the Oracle. "You don't have to worry about them though. It may be their domains, but it's your mind, they can't harm you if you don't want them to" she said. "Not even that bastard Smith is a threat here. You should go say hi to everyone. Take Sati with you, she can answer most of your other questions. Oh… and don't worry about the vase."

"What vase?" asked Naruto, turning to look for it, knocking over a beautiful vase as he turned.

"I'm so sorry" said Naruto, trying to apologize, only for the Oracle to laugh.

"I said don't worry about it. This is your mind; anything broken in here can be fixed easily. All it takes is a little focus" she said. Naruto shut his eyes and concentrated on fixing the broken vase. When he opened them, the vase was sitting right where it was before he knocked it over, looking as if it had never been broken.

"How did you know that was going to happen?" asked Naruto.

"Oh, what's really gonna bake your noodle later on is…would you still have broken it if I hadn't said anything" replied the Oracle, once again causing Naruto to dawn a confused look.

The Oracle began laughing. "Don't worry kiddo" she said. "I did the same thing to Neo when he first came to meet me." Sati just shook her head before taking Naruto's arm and leading him out into the hallway. As the two walked down the rows of doors, one of the opened, and out stepped a man wearing a black suit and tie and a pair of sunglasses. He walked toward them and Naruto watched Sati settle into a fighting stance.

"I remember you" said the man, talking to Sati. It was his tone that freaked Naruto out. It was the exact same tone he had been speaking with when he ordered the sentinels to kill Gato and his lackeys. "But you were younger back then. Outer shell get terminated did it?" the man asked with a smirk.

"Anyway, you don't have to worry about ol' Smith right now. I just came out to say hello to our gracious host, Mr. Uzumaki" finished Smith, before pulling out a strange, hand-held black object. He pointed the object at Naruto and there was a loud noise before Naruto felt a pain in his shoulder. Looking, Naruto noticed there was a hole in his sleeve and he was bleeding. It didn't last long however, as a strange red energy began leaking from underneath one of the doors. It seemed to flow up Naruto's arm, expelling a small metal object, before healing his shoulder seamlessly.

The red energy then flowed over to Smith, literally forcing him back through the door he came from and melting the door frame, sealing it shut. It then receded back under the door it had come from. Pulling out his key, Naruto quickly ran with Sati to a door farther along the hallway and opened it, finding them in a grand entrance hall.

Panting, Naruto looked at his shoulder. "What the hell, I thought the Oracle said I couldn't be harmed" he said.

"You didn't know what was coming, and so you couldn't protect yourself. Your mind is still adjusting and learning, so until you know, your mind will not be able to protect itself" replied Sati.

"So I'm basically defenseless if I don't know what's coming. I'm no better off in here than I am out in the real world. That makes me feel so much better about it" said Naruto. He then remembered what the man had said to Sati, but before he could ask her about it, a door on the other side of the room opened, revealing the two strangest looking people Naruto had ever seen.

Both were wearing all white clothing, including a white coat. They both had long white dreadlocks and wore identical pairs of sunglasses. As they entered the room, one pulled out a straight razor while the other pulled out another object similar to the one held by the man in the hallway. Behind them walked another pair, one man and one woman.

The man wore a dark suit and had a cocky smirk on his face. His hair was slicked back and black in color. The woman wore an elegant red dress. She had long, black hair. She was very beautiful to anyone looking at her.

"Well, well…look what the cat dragged in" said the man in an accent that Naruto had never heard before. "If it isn't our host. We've been expecting you, please come with me. I am the Merovingian and this is my wife Persephone."

Naruto looked at Sati, unsure of what to do, but eventually the two followed the group as the door closed behind them.

Chapter End

OK, so next chapter revolves around Naruto getting used to the Programs and the powers he gains in the real world. Also, the chuunin exams officially get under way. And I will be making the chapters much longer, but I'm a little swamped right now and wanted to get some things out of the way so I could work on my other stories as well. Man I wish I had my own computer.

Anyway, do you see that little review button…that little one below…? Click it. You know you want to. I know you want to. Go ahead…I won't tell anybody.

Peace to all my fans
