Chapter 4 - Naruto Goes East
{Timeskip 3 years}
It has been three years since Naruto pulled Caliburn from the stone. Three years since he started his training with his friends to prepare himself before he starts his conquest. He became a great swordsman during his training period. He mastered Caliburn to an extent that he can summon enough holy power to defeat a ultimate class devil. However, training wasn't the only thing that he focus on the three years. He spent his time with Arturia, where they got close. To the point it was obvious that they love each other, but were too afraid to admit it or change their relationship. Then he learn how to be a mage under the tutoring of Rin Tohsaka. The twin tailed girl in red was a great teacher for Naruto. Her harsh teaching really got through his thick head. However she still had trouble handling any more current technology like the radio that was common in both east and west. She ended up destroying it when someone tried to call them.
Also, they became great friends. Then she grew some feelings for him, but she was a tsundere, so it was hard for her to admit her feelings. Naruto always got insulted and hit by her when he got close to her. The two girls knew that they both like Naruto and Naruto couldn't choose one of them because he he didn't want to hurt any of them. He cared for them both too much to satisfy his love life. So they agreed to share Naruto with any other girl that genuinely loves him like themselves. That was the start of Naruto's harem. Although, it was a great thing for him, he said that Arturia will always be his first love and nothing can change that. Of course Rin understood that, but that didn't change her being a tsundere.
Even Merlin decided to pop back in. She has found another member of the sins. She found Escanor for the Lion's Sin of Pride. It fitted him perfectly with his weird split personality during the day and night. Although he is the strongest human, he wasn't given the sin of wrath to be captain. There was someone else to fit that position. She needed to find him. Even though, she was searching for members, she found someone unexpected. She found a Goddess. The Lady of the Lake, Lady Vivian. The ruler of Avalon knew of the legend of Naruto becoming king, so she decided to aid him. She order Merlin to bring Naruto to her. She gave Naruto a holy sword, but not just any holy sword. The Sword of Promised Victory. The sword forged by the planet as the crystallization of the wishes of mankind stored and tempered within the planet. A sword that formed from the prayer of 'Victory' from all races and brought into reality by fairies. It was a sword specifically crafted for him and only him. Along with Excalibur, she gave him the scabbard of Excalibur, Avalon. Avalon grants the ultimate defense against anyone. Even against time to a certain extent. Avalon is capable of extending the youth of a person. Which he shared with the girls. Plus there is the amazing healing effect that surpass the healing capabilities of Jinchuuriki. After receiving, Excalibur, he gave Caliburn to Arturia. She couldn't accept it, but Naruto countered with the power she will need and as a token of being the first woman he ever loved. After hearing a love felt speech she accepted Caliburn. Naruto knew how much Arturia always dreamt of pulling the sword in the stone and becoming a noble knight. She now owns the sword she always wanted since her childhood. Of course she couldn't stop thanking Naruto. Naruto didn't get any sleep during the night and Rin was angrier than ever the next morning.
Even after mastering Excalibur, he still use his Gate of Babylon. He mastered a few weapons in his treasury like Gae Bolg, Ea, and Enkidu. Although he usually uses the gate as a projectile weapon, he would summon the gate and fire the weapons at a rapid speed to take down his enemies. When experimenting with the Gate of Babylon, Rin notice his circuit doesn't connect to the dimension that hold the treasury. It was himself that connects to the Gate. It only brought her a lot of questions about the Once and Future King because this is the first evidence in both east and west that it was the person, not the power, that allow such a miracle to happen. He develop his own technique to counter any physical or magical attack. He called it Banishing Shift. Banishing Shift is a skill which could only be unleashed as a counter of an opponent's attack, could repel or disperse any kind of attack, physical or magical. Its true form is able to erase everything to the zero dimension, erase anything to nothingness. The perfect technique against any powerful attacks, but Naruto only uses it when necessary. He prefers the challenge of the battle and sees that technique as a last resort. Or when he is too lazy to deal with an attack.
After finishing his training, he and his friends went to the wall that divided the world. There stood Naruto in a black armor resembling that of a knight (AN: Berserker's armor from Fate/Zero. Lancelot's armor while it's still black), Arturia in her armor (AN: The same armor in Fate Stay Night), and Rin in her usual red turtleneck shirt, black skirt, and long black socks under brown leather flats. Kurama decided to sleep inside of Naruto. Even though she is free, she is still part magical creature and kitsune. That means she is very lazy. She spent most of her time in Naruto because it's no longer the sewer prison for her. It change to more of a hotel now.
"So we are gonna go back to your old home?" Rin ask
"Yup" The blonde said.
"Will they be able to recognize you?" Arturia ask. Afraid if someone sees him, they will take him away.
"Not really. I have heterochromia eyes now and the whiskers are gone. I also have this helmet." He pulls out his knight helmet and shows her. Making Arturia a little sad. She still miss his whisker mark. One day, Naruto brought back a puppy back to the Tohsaka's estate, where they were living and Arturia went full on girl mode and played with the dog all day long. Rin never let it go. Naruto found it cute. Both never stop teasing her about it.
"Don't worry Master, no one can harm you with me here." a voice came from Excalibur(AN: I use the voice of Astil Manuscript or more commonly known as Sora from Trinity Seven) on Naruto left side of his waist.
"Me too! Even though I serve Lady Arturia now, I will always come to your aid." Caliburn exclaimed from the side of Arturia.
"Why are we heading to the other side by the way? I mean, it's weaker world compared to ours, according to your stories. Don't get me wrong. I want to see how different it is from here myself." asked Rin.
"I wanted to see some people before we start the war. It maybe the last time I see them" he gave with a sad smile.
"Don't worry. We will survive the upcoming war. No matter what happen, we will get through it together." as Arturia hugs him to comfort him.
"Thank you." as he hugs her back.
"Okay, okay. It's time to go through the wall. I'm a little excited to see the other side." said Rin with some glee.
Naruto place his hand on the wall while channeling Kurama's chakra into it to open the door way. Then a door open like a spiral portal opening up. The group walk through to see Naruto's world. The first thing that came to mind is...
"It's hot" both girls said with a deadpan tone.
"We are in a desert. Rin, don't you have something for this heat. Being in the armor is kinda cooking me alive here." he asked Rin.
"I do have some jewels that will keep us cool in the heat." as she hands out a blue jewel for her friends.
"MUCH BETTER" Naruto shouted in relief. Wearing a full blown knight armor isn't a good idea under the sun. "First off, we head to the Village Hidden in the Sand!" as he pointed toward the village.
They didn't take long to get there. Naruto summon Byakko again to give him a quick ride there. It only took a few hours to reach the village. However, when they arrived, they came to a bloodied scene. Debris and some dead bodies were at the gate. It look like they were recently attack. Only Temari was at the front gate, waiting for a squad.
"What happen here?" Naruto shouted at her, while wearing his helmet to hide his identity. Rin and Arturia just stayed behind and let Naruto do the talking.
"Halt! State your business!" Temari shouted back while preparing her fan. Not sure if they are friendly or not, due to the current circumstance.
"So you don't remember me?" he asked while shaking his head. Only for Temari to look confuse. "I guess wearing the armor is a good idea to hide who I am." as he begins to take off his helmet.
Temari saw the blonde hair and one blue eye and said "Naruto?" still not sure due to the missing whiskers and the red eye. It's wasn't uncommon to have a shinobi get a transplanted eye due to the life of a shinobi.
"So you do remember me!" he exclaimed. "I came here to see Gaara. So what happen?"
"Naruto! You are alive! We thought you died since no one could find you!" she came up to give him a hug. "Right now Gaara been kidnapped. Can you help us?"
"What! Where is he! Just tell me where he went and I will get him back." Naruto said with concern for his friend.
"Just follow me. Kankuro and I are about to go and rescue him." Naruto and his team followed.
On the way to rescue Gaara, Naruto learned a lot. He learned that a terrorist group, the Akatsuki, are gathering the tailed beast for some kind of plan. Gaara was the start of the plan. Naruto told her that he been over the wall and have been living on the other side of the world. She couldn't believe it, but Rin and Arturia supported his claim. Also, Excalibur and Caliburn were very good at convincing non-believers. Temari still couldn't believe that Naruto is destined for something as big as this. To become king of the west was unbelievable.
Temari also told him about what has happen after his banishment. The Leaf Village lost their treaties with Land of Waves, Land of Spring or was called before Land of Snow, Village Hidden in the Waterfall, and The Village Hidden in the Sand as well. News got out about his unjust banishment. The entire Land of Fire went into an economic decline. The Fire Daimyo wasn't pleased with the lost of treaties. He went to the Leaf and threw a tantrum at the council. He ended up cutting 30% of the annual budget.
Then he order Naruto Namikaze to return and lifted his banishment. Too bad that Naruto Namikaze never existed. Naruto was never accepted by the Namikaze or Uzumaki and during the trial, Minato only referred to Naruto as only Naruto, so giving a surname now was pointless. Jiraiya use his spy network to find him, but couldn't find Naruto anywhere, so it was concluded that he died. It was a good thing he was wearing a helmet, so that no one trustworthy can now that he is alive, including the Akatsuki. However, the current problem is saving Gaara and they already broken off the alliance with the Leaf, so there is no aid from them. Well, as they now. The Leaf are more than aware than the Akatsuki's movement. They knew about Gaara's attack, so they could have planned for something.
"Bloody hell. It sucks to be a leaf ninja now." said Naruto.
"Bloody hell?" Temari asked with a question mark on her head.
"Just a term used often in the west. It grew on me." Naruto replied.
"That explain your new accent. It completely different from anything I heard." said Temari.
"I find it cute" said Arturia.
"I call it going native." Rin stated. Naruto quickly adjust life to the west no problem. Even with a the strict laws on traveling due to the ongoing war, he still had a nice time in the towns nearby. It was quite refreshing seeing that children playing and enjoying life instead of training to prepare for an upcoming war. Throughout shinobi history, shinobi were in an endless conflict as well till the shinobi system was established. Once establish, the war became worse than ever before. The only good thing about the system is the time of peace that came after the massive death toll on shinobi population, not counting civilian population. A good ten or so years to rebuild their numbers.
"Lord Naruto, I sense the presence of another just like you." said Caliburn.
"That has to be Gaara." Naruto as he approach a river with a large boulder in the way. Then suddenly...
"What are you doing here Leaf shinobi!" Temari growled when she saw Kakashi, Guys, Mito, Sakura, Neji, Lee, Tenten, and Sai, Naruto's/Sasuke's replacement.
"Ma, ma. We are here to help." Kakashi said trying to be friendly. He focus his attention on the man in a suit of metal armor. Unable to sense who he is due to his lack of chakra. "I'm more worried about your friend in the armor. He seems weak" making Rin and Arturia a little mad for the insult of their boyfriend. Something that Kankuro bitch about when he talked to the girls. "and who wear a full body armor. Only a samurai would wear one." It was the common belief that shinobi were superior to samurai in every way, but that was a lie they tell themselves. Samurai take their training far more seriously, so a single samurai could give a chunin a death battle. There are rumors that the a samurai survive Hanzo, the Salamander when many powerful shinobi died against him, not including Konoha's Sannin where they were spared.
"No is not the time to debate about this. All you need to know is that we are allies with the Sand and came to their aid. You, however, shouldn't be here. The Akatsuki moved too fast for you guys to come for the rescue. So that means you planned this." Naruto said in his armor while crossing his arms.
"Is it a problem that we are helping?" Mito asked. She may have not agreed with this tactic, but accepted it because it was for Konoha according to her father.
"Yes it is. We don't trust the leaf. You could be here to kidnap Gaara and hold him hostage or take his biju away." Kankuro sneered at them. Making a couple flinch. It was public knowledge that Mito couldn't control the chakra of the 9 tails chakra, so many thought the Leaf will steal another's tailed beast for a proper jinchuuriki.
"How un-youthful. We are here to help." Guy said, trying to calm them down.
"Ahhhh. Master." Excalibur said. Surprising the Leaf ninjas and making Tenten more intrigue with a talking sword. "The signal just died."
"Gaara!" Naruto, Temari, and Kankuro shouted in panic.
"Enough! Rin and I will watch the Leaf ninja. Saber, you will go with the Sand ninja to get Gaara." Arturia said to regain command of the situation. It was also decided that Naruto will go by Saber when they aren't alone due to the order on Naruto. It will be bad if Naruto was forcefully taken back to the Leaf. Getting a nod from the three.
"Excalibur, get ready. We are busting up that rock and killing whoever is in there." Naruto said as he drew Excalibur from Avalon. Everyone could feel the sheer power that Excalibur was giving off. Making the Leaf shinobi more intrigue. Naruto then slice through the boulder.
"It won't work. Your sword can't cut through the seal that the Akatsuki placed." Kakashi said with a smug eye smile. Only to have a few Leaf shinobi to laugh at this attempt, but soon stop. Saber cut the boulder in half like it was nothing. Opening the entrance and allowing everyone to jump in. Leaving the Leaf ninjas shock at seeing what they had seen.
'A sword like that could be helpful to the leaf. Plus it can talk. It can gives us a lot of information.' Kakashi thought while he plans to steal Excalibur. Believing that Naruto is weak because of his armor and the girls useless. They didn't give any chakra out, so he automatically thought they are weak. 'Even a newborn child have more chakra than any of those three.' He thought as well.
"Well, well, well. Look at this. The 9 tailed jinchuuriki finally arrived. Now-" The blonde haired bomber, Deidra said while sitting on top of Gaara's body.
"Get the hell off him, you bastard!" Naruto shouted as he grip Excalibur.
"Who is gonna make me" Deidra taunted. Shifting his attention to the armored individual.
Then he saw a many gold ripples appear behind Saber. With swords, axes, spears, and many weapons came out of them. That was when the Leaf ninjas jump in to only witness Saber's power.
'What the hell is that' thought everyone, but Rin and Arturia. The two only gave a smug smile that they saw.
"Let me show you what happens when you hurt my friends."
Naruto fired one of his weapon at them at incredible speed. Making Deidra jump away.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?" Deidra shouted in surprise. He saw the hole behind him and it was deep and large. Something that a sword can't ever do.
"Hahaha. Time to show you the power of a king!" as Naruto fired more projectile at the two members. He manage to force Deidra onto his bird and destroyed Sasori's puppet.
"Damn you. King or not, I will make you pay for destroying that puppet!" Sasori shouted in anger as he pulled out another puppet.
"Rin, can you save Gaara?" getting a nod from her. "Good. Go revive him. It will be good to see an old friend again." Naruto ordered her and she complied. "Arturia, Kankuro, Temari, watch the Leaf ninjas and protect Rin. She revived me once before, she can save him from death. I will handle the Akatsuki members." getting a nod from the three. It was true that Naruto was revived by Rin. Naruto was killed by Escanor one time and she use one of her best jewel to save him. She had another just in case for moments like this. That day, he learned that you be very respectful to Ecanor during the day.
"What?! Are you crazy! You can't handle the Akatsuki by yourself!" Mito shouted at Naruto. Worried for the supposed weakling.
"Don't doubt my power, girl." Naruto said as he faced Mito. "I am a king. He is no match for me."
"Like hell we are!" Deidra shouted as he charge against Naruto. Deidra had orders to focus on the 9 tail jinchuuriki, but Naruto was pissing him off. Kakashi ordered his team not to interfere, so he could see Saber's power. Kakashi has never seen anything like this before and need to collect information on the self-proclaimed King. Plus, he hoped Naruto would be killed, so he can take his sword for the Leaf. His home was facing a crisis with the lack of power, so a power sword like Excalibur would help them.
Naruto just launch more projectile at Deidra and destroyed his bird. Then Sasori summoned the Third Kazekage to fight. However, the iron sand wasn't strong enough to fight against Naruto's weapons. He ended up destroying the Kazekage puppet.
"How dare you! That puppet was one of the rarest of have!"
"Damn you. Don't think you beaten me yet!"
Deidra prepared a dragon made of clay and Sasori revealed himself to be a puppet. The people watching can watch in awe.
"Okay. I got a heartbeat. Gaara should be okay now. He will need rest. There is no injury left that I haven't fixed on him." Rin said as she finish bringing back Gaara.
"Thank you" Temari cried out while hugging her.
"Ya. Thanks." Kankuro said as he smiled at her as he check on Gaara. He was relieved to see him breathing.
"Of course, I only did it for that idiot up there. I swear, he likes to show off." Rin said as she shakes her head in disagreement with Naruto flaunting his power right now.
"Uhh. Excuse me Ms..." Sakura asked trying to find out she brought back a dead person without the resurrection jutsu.
"Rin. Rin Tohsaka or in your culture, Tohsaka Rin"
"Ms. Tohsaka. How did you bring him back. I checked. The Kazekage's heart stopped and he was dead." Sakura asked. Extremely intrigue due to her being a medic.
"That isn't your concern. It's a technique that belongs to my family." she said.
"That is impossible. There is no bloodline that can bring back the dead!" Sakura retorted. She knew many healing jutsu and healing bloodline, but none to bring back the dead. According to her master, Tsunade Senju, you can't heal the dead to bring them back. She should now, she tried.
"I never said 'bloodline'. I said it's a family technique." Rin said as flaunt her twin tail hair.
Boom! A loud explosion came from the fight between the Akatsuki pair and Naruto. Naruto just finish stopped using the gate as a projectile and started to Enkidu and Excalibur to fight them. Naruto used the Chains of Heaven, Enkidu, to latch onto the clay dragon and bring it down in front of him, so the flamethrower that Sasori fired at him hit it instead of Naruto.
"He's a tough son of a bitch!" Deidra shouted to Sasori as he jumped to his side after his dragon being defeated.
"I had enough of you!" Sasori screamed. He lost his patience when dealing with the lone king. He pulled out a scroll and summoned 100 puppets. Deidra lost all hope already. When Naruto use his chains, he pulled out his arm out of his body when the dragon came crashing down.
"Ha! Do you think that an army is enough to stop this king." Naruto said with a lot of arrogance in his voice. As he drew Excalibur. "Get ready" he whispered to Excalibur. Excalibur just glowed in response.
"I took down entire villages with this jutsu. You will be no problem." Sasori said as he laugh. Deidra already left him to save himself and to inform the others. Deidra was smart enough to know when he lost.
Naruto just raised his sword. Then everyone paid attention to Naruto and Excalibur. It was giving off a golden shine. A beautiful shine that no one couldn't resist looking at it. Golden light started to appear all around the entire room, like droplets. Then some people started to hear some voices.
Kakashi just stared at the sword. With such beauty, how couldn't he. Then he heard a voice.
"Son." A older version of Kakashi without a mask appeared. He just gave Kakashi a sad smile and shake his head. Disappointed about what he has done. Kakashi could only let a single tear fall out.
Then Guy look at a man that look like him, but with a mustache and a beard.
"I'm proud of you" as he gave a thumbs up to his son.
Guy started to cry tears of youth.
Neji saw his father. The same father that sacrifice himself to save his brother. He just smiled at him. Making Neji cry.
Sasori was ready to attack him to stop that next attack. The sheer power is enough to win. However...
"Mom... Dad..." He said as he saw his parents. He look very sad because his parents were smiling at him.
"No matter what..." His dad said as he hugs him on the left side of his body.
"We will love you." His mom said as he hugs him on the right side of his body.
Sasori started to cry, but he had no eyes or tears.
Then all the spirits disappear.
"What was that?" Mito said while stuttering as she pointed to Excalibur. As well as the others as they too witness those dead people.
"While one could say there are many other swords crafted more splendidly and with better skill, this sword is an illusion far, far superior to them You calling it 'beautiful' would dirty its appearance. It is instead something sacred, forged from people's conceptions, legends weaved only out of hope." Arturia said with such compassion. She continued.
"It is a crystal trained by the alone of mankind, making it reign as the strongest fantasy. The crystallization of the prayer glory and all the things etched in the hearts of those who are scattered at the sword's exuberance; the nostalgic, the sorrowful, and hallowed dreams of those who found themselves on the bloody hell called a sword represents a desire of all warriors, past, present, and future whom have been fully exposed to the nightmares of the battlefield. And that desire? To be exalted." Arturia added. The most one out of the two that knew more of holy swords.
"Its name transcends all boundaries! Time and space! Cultures and languages! Nations and borders! For its name is-!" Arturia finished.
"EX-" Naruto shouted as he raised his sword. Preparing to strike down the army.
Sasori sent all his puppets to attack after getting over seeing his parents.
"-CALIBUR!" he swung his sword down. Destroying all of the puppets. Including Sasori. Sasori only smiled and welcome the golden light that is here to claim his life.
'I'm coming mom.. dad.' he thought with a smile. Naruto saw that smiled.
"Find peace and happiness in the ever distant utopia."(AN: The 'Ever Distant Utopia' is Avalon. The afterlife. If that is wrong, I don't care. It is what Naruto believe in.) Naruto said fast enough so Sasori can hear him. Even against people he doesn't like, Naruto is kind enough to pray for his enemy to rest in peace.
"Thank you... My king." Sasori finally accepted him as a king. Being destroyed by his attack. Naruto let a smile out. The blast left a massive hole in the side of the mountain they were in. Naruto headed to Gaara to check on him. Then Kakashi walked up to him, but Rin got in front of him.
"Would you like to join the Hidden Leaf Village?" Kakashi asked. Trying to get a powerful people in the hands of the Leaf.
"Ha! You think I would abandon my family! I know all about your reputation and it's isn't noble at all. We are a family. We never abandon our own." Rin said as she gave a smirk at them when they widen their eyes to hear her devotion to her family. The family of Naruto and Arturia.
"I asked kindly, but it seems that you left me no choice." Kakashi said as he drew his kunai. As did the rest of the Konoha shinobi.
Kankuro and Temari got ready for battle. Naruto wasn't paying attention, he was picking up Gaara. However, Arturia was already a step ahead.
"I wouldn't do that if I was you." Arturia said as she has Caliburn ready to slice Mito's throat. She knew that the daughter of the Hokage is worth a lot in the bounty station. Naruto told the girls that they shinobi system ran more like a mercenary guild instead of an actual government.
'I didn't sense her' thought Kakashi and Neji. The best sensors of the squad didn't see a girl get behind them and set herself in a position to kill them.
"I'll say it once. Back off or you will be at war with us. The Leaf sent two squad to fight two members of the Akatsuki and we only need one person to fight the pair of criminals. Do you really think that you stand a chance?" she asked the group.
After giving it a moment to think about their situation. "Everyone, we are going back to the Leaf." Kakashi ordered. Surprising his team. They knew how important the mission was to their village.
"What! We can't leave yet. The Akatsukis are a threat. We can take them here and now. Plus those strange those strange people have incredible powers! If we-" Mito shouted before being cut off. She understood the need of the village outweighs her own needs and morals.
"Do that and you will be starting war with the Sand. They are our allies and promised to help us in our need. We won't abandon them." Temari shouted at her. Believing that allying with Naruto would pay off in the long run.
"We can't start a war over a few people. Fall back!" Kakashi ordered as all the remaining Leaf ninjas left.
