Chapter One: The Tales of King Arthur
It was a clear sunny day in the village Hidden in the Leafs. Naruto was in the middle of a sparring session with Rock Lee within the compounds of the training grounds. While Hinata and TenTen sat casually underneath the shade of a nearby tree watching the two ninjas locked in combat.
"So Hinata what's it like to be dating the hero of the Leaf village?" TenTen asked.
Hinata didn't answer right away but focused more on Naruto as he and Rock Lee sent a barrage of attacks towards each other.
"For so long I've dreamt of being with Naruto. To stand by his side, to hold him tightly in my arms and now that we're finally together there are no words to describe how happy I' am." Hinata said with a warm smile on her face.
"And I bet being the one to press you're lips against his is just as exciting huh?" TenTen asked with an devilish grin on her face.
"TENTEN!" Hinata shouted.
"Huh is everything all right Hina… Oooff!" Naruto shouted.
"What is going on Ten… Arrgh!" Lee shouted.
Unknowing to Hinata at the time she had accidently distracted the boys as they both swung a right hook towards each other. Both girls ran towards they're injured comrades.
"Naruto ar..are you okay?" Hinata asked as she help Naruto lift himself off the ground
"Ugh… I'm alright Hinata." Naruto said as he rubbed the side of his face.
"Are you alright Lee?" TenTen asked.
"Yes TenTen I'm fine." Lee replied.
Both Naruto and Lee grinned at each other while the bummed they're fists against each other. Then all four ninjas parted ways as Naruto and Hinata made their way to the Ichiraku Ramen shop.
"I'm sorry I made you and Lee hit each other Naruto." Hinata said in an apologetic tone.
"It's okay Hinata it was a sparring session we we're meant to hit each other after all."
"But still if TenTen hadn't brought up me and you… um never mind." Hinata said with a blush.
"Huh what was that?" Naruto asked with much curiosity.
"Oh Naruto please don't ask me it's embarrassing."
"Well alight but only cause I love you." Naruto said as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
Hinata's face grew a deeper shade of red as Naruto pull their bodies closer to each other. Hinata responded by wrapping her arms around Naruto's neck.
"Oh Naruto." Hinata said in a soft tone.
Then both Naruto and Hinata shared a quick passionate kiss.
"Ohhhh you guys are so cute!" a famine voice cried out.
To both Naruto and Hinata's surprise it was Ayame the daughter of the Ramen shop owner.
"Hehe well well if it isn't our favorite couple." The old man said as he stirred a batch of freshly made noodles.
Both Naruto and Hinata had a blush on their faces as they entered the famed noodle shop.
"So what'll ya have?"
"The usual for me please." Naruto said.
"Same too please."
"You betchya two lover's specials coming up comin up." Ayame said with a wink.
While Naruto and Hinata waited for their orders another famine voice called out to the both of them.
"Well well well if it isn't Mister and Misses Uzumaki."
"Sakura cut it out." Naruto shouted.
"Hey calm down you know I'm just kidding."
"Oh okay then so what's up?"
"Nothing I finally got some free time from all the paper work Lady Tsunade had me do and decided to take a walk through the village."
"Oh that's good." Hinata replied.
"Oh by the way Naruto when I was at the library today I stumbled across a book that I thought you'd like."
Then Sakura dug into her book bag and brought out a book titled "The Tales of King Arthur."
"Huh what's it about?" Naruto asked as he and Hinata over looked the cover of the book.
"Well it's about this boy named Arthur who became the king of this kingdom called Avalon. When he pulled out the legendary sword Excalibur from a sacred stone created by a woman they called the Lady of the Lake."
"Excalibur?" Naruto asked himself.
"What was that?" Sakura asked.
"Huh oh nothing just talking to myself." Naruto replied.
"Well anyways I thought you guys would like it."
"Oh thank you Sakura." Hinata said.
Then after all three ninjas enjoyed their meal filled with casual conversations. Naruto and Hinata returned to their apartment and while Hinata cleaned the apartment, Naruto read the book Sakura had given him and Hinata earlier that day. With each page he read the more interested he got into the story.
"How's the story?" Hinata asked as she finished cleaning.
"It's pretty interesting this Arthur kid fought of hordes of demons, and evil sorcerers, and dragons with this awesome sword called Excalibur. Not to mention he wants to be king of that kingdom Sakura mentioned."
"Just like how you want to be Hokage one day huh?" Hinata said with a smile on her face.
"Hehe yup." Naruto replied.
"Well it's getting pretty late Naruto are you coming to bed?"
"Yeah (yawn)…. I better get some sleep before I get too interested in this book." Naruto replied.
Then as Naruto and Hinata prepared themselves for a goodnight's rest an epic battle was taking place. Massive rain storms covered the land, lightning and thunder shook both the havens and earth. As two figures one in a white hooded cloak and the other in a black cloak sung their swords in an epic clash of steel while a woman in a dark hooded cloak stood high above the mountain range watching the two men fight one another.
"Dark arts: Chaos Lightning Strike." The man in the black hooded cloak shouted as he raised his sword into the air.
Then as he swung his sword down a massive black thunder bolt came crashing down. The man in the white hood had only a second to spear as he dodged the blacken thunder bolt as it tore the land scape apart. The man quickly took shelter in the nearby forest hoping that it would give him the cover he needed to rest while he came up with a strategy.
"I can't believe this." The man said to himself.
"Mordred was my best friend why is he attacking me now?"
"I already told you Arthur when he tried to pull me out of the sacred stone I could sense he was surprising a great darkness within himself. Now he has completely allowed the darkness within his own heart to consume him." A mysterious voice replied.
"Excalibur you are correct my most trusted sword I remember you telling me that once before." Arthur replied.
"We both know Mordred and Morgana are going to win this fight Excalibur."
"Arthur don't speak like that!" Excalibur shouted.
"It's the truth I'm too weak to keep up with the two of them and it is the upmost importance that we do not allow them to possess you or your scabbard Excalibur."
"Indeed."
Then Arthur quickly grabbed Excalibur's scabbard from his side and placed Excalibur carefully within it.
"Sacred blade of Nimue Lady of the lake I cast to you your sword take it under you wing and summon the chosen one who will take my place to defeat this evil." Arthur shouted.
Then Excalibur transformed itself into a white light and flew high in the sky and disappeared from sight. Arthur was pleased with this and slipped into unconsciousness unaware that both Mordred and Morgana stood above him.
"He cast a spell and returned the sword to the Lady of the Lake." Mordred said.
"It does not matter we know where it went. All we have to do is reach her before she can summon the chosen one." Morgana replied as she cast a spell and trapped Arthur inside a barrier of black magic.
"We have the king now and soon we will have the power of the demon fox within him." Morgana said as she laughed in the most evil of ways.
Meanwhile underneath the clear midnight skies stood a white gazebo lying on top of a shimmering lake stood a woman in a blue vial. Enjoying the beautiful scenery the night had brought. The moment was interrupted when she sensed the present of Excalibur coming towards her.
She quickly looked out and saw the bright light coming towards her and gently lifted her arms out. As she caught the sacred sword as it returned to its original shape.
"Arthur!" The woman said in shock.
