I don't own Jack Squat. Or Naruto and Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones.

Chapter 1

Salvation

"Kill the Demon!"

"Tonight we avenge the Yondaime!"

"Don't let him get away!"

Why…?

A scrawny five-year-old boy named Naruto Uzumaki who had spiky blond hair, blue eyes, and three whisker-like birthmarks on each cheek wearing a hideous baggy orange jumpsuit was being chased by a mob of people with makeshift weapons.

And the day was going so well…

He had gone to his favorite ramen stand for breakfast before celebrating his birthday by covering the Academy in pink paint before leading the teachers and students on a merry chase through Konoha, the Village Hidden in the Leaves. Then he had lunch before going to visit the old man and then returning home. And along the way home the mob jumped him.

Why do they hate me? That question had plagued him for as long as he could remember. The hate and attacks had caused him to mature faster than any other kid his age, having a mindset of someone at least twice his age, but he still couldn't find the answer.

The chase stopped when a kunai thrown by the mob's leader, a chunin named Mizuki, hit his left leg and he fell to the ground, easy prey for the mob.

Inside the seal…

…Won't work…Impossible…Completely insane…DAMN IT ALL! There has to be something I can do to help the kit!

These thoughts belonged to the infamous Kyuubi. The Kyuubi had been furious at the villager's behavior towards his host. One thing that the beast hated was people who harmed the defenseless, especially women and children. It had been trying to find a way to help the boy, but so far could only speed up the body's natural healing process. It had recently been trying to find a way to get Naruto away from the village and its hatred but that was even more difficult to find a way than trying to help the boy directly. This attempt was even more urgent due to the fact that he had a bad feeling that this night's attack would be the end of his host's life if it continued.

Suddenly the Kyuubi froze as his mind produced an idea he had once thought to be impossible without the aid of someone else others, and then there was the massive amount of chakra needed for the technique... What made it possible now was that in his research of the seal that held him in attempts to find loopholes that could help the child, he had found something else sealed with him: Naruto's father, Minato Namikaze.

While he was loath to ask for aid from the one who sealed him, it was the only viable option possible at the moment. So the Kyuubi sent out his chakra to manipulate the seal in a way that would trigger Minato's appearance. Now began the task of convincing him to help. Fun…

Minato Namikaze was a fairly tall man who had bright blue-eyes and spiky blond hair with jaw-length bangs framing either side of his face. His attire consisted of a standard Konoha-nin uniform with two bands each on both of his sleeves, a flak jacket and a forehead protector, and a short-sleeved long white coat decorated by flames-like motifs on the edges, with the kanji for "Fourth Hokage" (四代目火影) written vertically down the back, and closed on the front by a thin orange rope.

"What do you want furball?" Minato said. The plan had been for Minato to show up if the seal ever tried to come. Since the seal was fine, that meant that the Kyuubi must want them.

The Kyuubi growled softly but bit back its retort, he couldn't afford to waste time on unnecessary arguments, "While I am loath to admit it, I need your help."

"And why the hell should I help you?" Minato questioned.

"What I need is in all of our best interests, including your son."

That got his attention. "What have you done to Naruto!?" Minato yelled in anger.

The Kyuubi snorted, "I haven't done a thing. Let me show you what you precious village has done."

The Kyuubi then linked the former Hokage to Naruto's senses, allowing him to witness firsthand just how his beloved village respected his last wish. The Kyuubi then showed him a quick summery of Naruto's important memories, giving him the rundown of his son's life. By the time the information dump was complete, Minato was shocked and furious.

"How dare they…Kyuubi, I have three questions. Where are Kushina and Natsumi? Why are you helping Naruto? And just what do you need my help for?" Minato seethed.

"While I despise you sealing into your son, I have no grudge against Naruto; who, unlike Mito and Kushina, had no choice in being my container. And I will not allow this abuse to continue. I know a ritual that will send Naruto far away. However, I need you to loosen the seal so my chakra can do its job."

"After you finish your part, you will probably pass out from lack of chakra and vanish. However, I have decided to use some of my chakra to preserve you for fifteen years at max, ten at minimum, leaving you the opportunity to watch over and have the option to contact Naruto. There is a slight side effect of incinerating the nearby area, AKA the mob and a few buildings, but I think we can agree that that is a good thing."

"As for my former host and my current host's twin sister...I have no idea where they are. My guess, is that Kushina was tricked by someone like Danzo to believe that Naruto is dead, causing her to leave in grief, taking her daughter with her. I remember my host hearing the human called Sarutobi speaking to your old sensei about whether or not he had found any leads on someone, but my container interrupted them before I could hear who."

Minato thought for a moment. For all he knew, the Kyuubi could be lying, and the ritual could free it, killing Naruto. But on the other hand, he couldn't stand by and let this happen.

The Yellow Flash sighed, "Let's do this."

Outside the seal the mob finally backed away from he unconscious and bloody form of Naruto. Mizuki then pulled out a kunai and raised it above his head, "Time to die, Demon!"

However, as Mizuki began to bring his kunai down towards Naruto's heart, Naruto suddenly became enshrouded in a massive amount of red chakra that incinerated the mob.

An elderly man with short spiked gray hair and small gray goatee wearing white and red robes has sitting at a desk doing paperwork. The man, Hiruzen Sarutobi, sighed as he thought about the child he considered his grandson and the villagers treatment to him. His expression brightened slightly when he remembered getting a message from Jiraiya saying that he had finally found Kushina and Natsumi and that the trio were returning as fast as possible. As the Sandaime reminisced, he was shocked as he sensed a massive amount of chakra he hadn't felt in five years. The Kyuubi's chakra.

Hiruzen quickly rushed to where he sensed it to see a heavily injured Naruto lying on the ground surrounded by heavily burnt corpses and red chakra that was swirling into a pillar. More shinobi arrived, and a few retarded chunin tried to rush into the chakra to kill the "demon," only to be incinerated. The pillar began to swirl faster before their eyes before exploding in a crimson flash.

When the light died, Naruto and the chakra had disappeared, leaving only a crater.

"Sensei! We felt the Kyuubi's chakra! What happened!? Where's Naruto!?" Hiruzen turned to see that his student and the wife and daughter of his successor had finally arrived. But it was to late. Naruto was now dead. Or so he thought…

Naruto woke up to find himself in an unfamiliar sewer. "Where am I?"

"Come…"

Naruto jumped, "Whose there!?"

"Come…I will explain."

Naruto followed the voice and ended up in front of a large cave, and inside, to his shock, was the Kyuubi. However, the Kyuubi didn't look fearsome. Instead, it was lying on its side with its tails limp, panting. When he arrived, the Kyuubi fixed one of its eyes on him. In those eyes, Naruto saw satisfaction and exhaustion.

"What the…?"

"Come here kit."

Naruto slowly approached the Biju. For some reason he didn't feel scared of it.

"Good…Now listen and try not to interrupt, I don't have much time before I pass out from exhaustion and I'm only going to explain this once. You are a jinchuriki, a living prison for a Biju, AKA me. The day you were born, a masked man forcedly freed me from Kushina Uzumaki, your mother and my previous jinchuriki, just after she gave birth to you and your twin and by using a Genjutsu forced me to attack Konoha. Your father, the Yondaime Minato Namikaze, defeated the masked man and freed me from his control. Your father then gave their lives to seal me into you. Your father's last wish was for you to be seen as a hero."

Naruto was stunned, but he had to admit it made sense. The Kyuubi coughed before continuing.

"Unfortunately, only a few kept that wish, the others thought you were my reincarnation and must be destroyed before you could grow strong. Stupid infidels. I believe that your mother was deceived into believing you were dead, causing her to leave and unknowingly abandon you. Your heritage was kept secret to keep your father's enemies from assassinating or kidnapping you. I became furious at the villagers treatment to you and eventually found a way to help you, by using a ritual to send you far away, to a distant continent. Unfortunately, the process combined with the seal's restrictions drained me of far more chakra than I expected, which is why I'm so exhausted."

Naruto's eyes widened. The legendary and feared Kyuubi, the reason for his treatment, had done more for him than anyone else ever had. The conflicting emotions that had welled up since the beginning of the conversation erupted, and Naruto ran into the cage and hugged the Kyuubi's neck, "Thank you…" he said as he began to pass out from emotional stress.

"Crazy brat…Should have sent him flying for hugging me…

In a remote area of one of the few forests in the north end of Jehanna on the continent of Magvel, a tall, muscular teen of sixteen years with short green hair kept back by a purple headband and black eyes with a scar across his face walked. He wore a sleeveless purple shirt with a leather shoulder pad on the right shoulder. He had a purple fingerless glove on his right hand and white bandages wrapped around his left wrist, palm, and lower forearm. He also wore white pants with brown boots, and around his waist was a brown belt with a flap of leather armor hanging over his left thigh. Hanging in a sheath on his back was a steel blade. His name was Gerik, a Mercenary.

As he walked he suddenly felt a faint violent pulse of…something nearby. He rushed to see what it was, drawing his sword in the process. He quickly arrived at a scorched clearing, and in the center was, to his surprise, a badly beaten child.

"Holy shit…" What the hell happened to him? Gerik sheathed his sword and crouched down next to the boy, checking for a pulse. Finding one, he brought out an elixir and gently forced it down the boy's throat. All of the more serious wounds and most of the minor ones quickly healed. Gerik then picked the boy up and headed to his friend's place, where he had been headed earlier. Something tells me my life just got a whole lot more complicated.
