Disclaimer: I don't own Shaman King or Naruto
I realized a problem. I don't know Japanese. This means that I have no idea how to name people and I don't feel like using western names like Chad or Brad. Therefore, my great reviewers, please submit names and express what they mean and their gender.
Another thing, people have been telling me to make this a harem story. The problem is that I don't know if I can do that without ruining the story. Plus I really don't know who to put him with and how they would meet up. I'm just making this story up as I go.
Keep suggesting spirits for Naruto to use, but these are off limits: Minato, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Rikudō Sennin, Kushina, others will be added as they come up. The spirits can also be animals with intelligence, this includes animal summons.
Remember, spirits don't have to be just weapons. They can also be armors.

It was a cloudy day. The sun was covered by dark storm clouds and it looked like it could rain at any moment. Yet, one child did not care. This child was outside, training. This single child was training when others were inside their nice cozy homes with their families. This child was Sasuke Uchiha.
Sasuke Uchiha was once part of the powerful Uchiha Clan. However, one week ago his entire clan had been wiped out by a single ninja. That ninja was, Itachi Uchiha. Sasuke's older brother.
Sasuke couldn't believe it. One week ago, he was part of an incredible clan. Now, he was all that was left from that clan. He had lived when his whole family was killed. He couldn't understand it. Itachi left him live so that he could take revenge later on in life. Itachi wanted him to get stronger by using his hating him. And he would. He would get stronger by using his hate as his drive. He would get strong enough so that the next time they met, he would have Itachi begging him to spare his life.
With that final thought, Sasuke collapsed. An ANBU appeared and draped Sasuke over his shoulder and took him to the apartment Sasuke was given after the massacre. Sasuke had been put on suicide watch. After all, he had been tortured by Itachi's genjutsu and if trained ninja's couldn't fight off its effects, then what chance did a ninja-in-training have?
On the other side of the village a young child was getting ready for the day and as had become common, started cursing his hair out.
"Stupid long and silky hair. Stupid girls in school. Getting angry cause my hair is better than theirs." Yup, everyday Naruto started his day out like this. A month ago, Hao had given him his shamanic abilities. A month ago, he had learned about a world that was not his own. A month ago, he became part of two worlds.
Flashback
After he read the beginning of Hao's book, he decided to go home from all of the things he learned that one day. Of course, he didn't really realize how different he was at that moment until he accidentally bumped into someone. Looking up to say sorry, he froze when he saw that the person he walked into was transparent.
"How?" The man was just as surprised as him if not more-so. The man couldn't seem to believe the fact that he had just felt for the first time in decades. He moved his hands shakily towards Naruto's face and pulled at his cheeks. Once again, he was surprised that he was able to actually touch Naruto's face.
"How is this possible? Decades and not once has anyone alive seen me and yet you've not only seen me, but I can actually touch you. Why? How are you different from other people?" The man could not keep his enthusiasm out of his voice and all the while he kept pulling on Naruto's cheeks.
"Uh, can you stop that? It's starting to hurt." Naruto snapped out of his shock from the growing pain in his cheeks.
"Oh, my apologies. It's just that I've been dead for decades and nobody living has been able to tell I've been here." The man apologized, while rubbing the back of his head.
"It's alright, just don't do that again." Naruto stated while rubbing his sore cheeks. "So... whats your name?" Naruto asked after staring at the man for a minute.
"Ah, it seems I have forgotten my manners. My name is Hashirama Senju." The man stated this with great pride. Pride that was lost on Naruto as he didn't pay attention in the academy when this was taught.
"Well, hello Hashirama! I'm Naruto Uzumaki, future Hokage!" Naruto couldn't help saying the last part even though the guy he was speaking to was dead.
"A future Hokage? Really now? What makes you think your deserving of the title of Hokage?" Hashirama could only grin at Naruto, when he heard about his dream.
"I'm going to become the greatest Hokage ever! That way everyone will acknowledge me!" The fire in Naruto's eyes, showed Hashirama that he did have the drive to become Hokage. However, his reason to become Hokage wasn't what he had hoped for, but that could change when he got older.
"Naruto, what would you say if I said that I could help make your dream come true?" Hashirama asked this with seriousness that made Naruto instantly pay attention.
"You would really help me?" Naruto could only ask with shock. Nobody had ever really believed that he would ever become Hokage. Yet, here was some stranger who wanted to help make his dream come true. However, he remembered the Kyūbi words from earlier.
"Why? What would you have to gain from helping me?" This question threw Hashirama into a loop. He hadn't been expecting Naruto to distrust him, but considering the fact that Naruto didn't recognize his name was probably why.
"Well, why wouldn't I want the future Hokage to protect the village I worked so hard to create when I was alive?" This question confused Naruto. He could vaguely remember that Iruka-sensei had said that the first Hokage and his clan along with another clan had helped create Konoha. Following this thought he began to connect the dots.
"Wait, if you helped create this village, then that means...You're from one of the founding clans of Konoha!" Naruto yelled out while pointing at Hashirama.
"Correct, however I am more than just from a founding clan of Konoha. I am Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage!" I sounded so awesome!' Hashirama was able to look completely serious while he said this, even though he was grinning like crazy on the inside.
Naruto could only stare. Today, had just been filled with nothing but surprises. He had thought that nothing could surprise him anymore today. He was wrong. Here, right in front of him was the first Hokage. THE FIRST HOKAGE. His brain shut down.
For a whole minute Hashirama stared at Naruto. He began to worry when Naruto didn't blink. He started to panic when Naruto wouldn't respond to his name. He began freaking out when Naruto wouldn't react to being touched. He was about to try and smack Naruto when he heard, "Hashirama, what are you doing?" He froze. "Ah ha ha ha, nothing Mito, just trying to wake this kid up."
"And how would you wake him up, when your a ghost and he can't see you, let alone be able to feel anything you do?" Mito was smirking at her husbands frozen form. She was proud to say that she had her husband wrapped around her pinkie. After all, she almost killed him once with nothing but a slap. A seal covered hand, that greatly augmented her strength and concentrated the force of the slap, but he didn't know that.
"Well, I don't know how, but for some reason, Naruto here is able to see and hear ghosts. He can also physically touch us." Hashirama really hoped she didn't slap him. The last time she had, he almost died. It had only been the recent advancement of medical jutsu's that had saved his life. He really didn't want to try to see if he could survive as a spirit.
"Really?" Her shock was obvious as her eyes widened and she turned to stare at Naruto. She was concentrating so hard that she didn't here what her husband had said. "I'm sorry, what did you say?"
Hashirama's twitching eye was the only indication of his annoyance. "I said that his dream was also to become Hokage." You could hear how proud he was that someone else wanted to become Hokage.
"Really? Let me guess, you wanted to train him?" Mito knew her husband far too well. She could instantly tell when he was up to something.
"It freaks me out that you know me so well."
"It come with being married for decades, dear. Get used to it. Anyway, I'll leave you to it. I have to go and speak with Kushina. She's still depressed after all of these years." With that Mito left Hashirama to try and wake Naruto.
"Well I've tried everything except hitting him. Oh well, he'll forgive me later." With that he pounded his fist into Naruto's skull.
"Why does my head hurt, and why am I staring at the ground?" Naruto could not remember why he was on the ground. One moment he was speaking to Hashirama and the next he's on the ground.
"Oh, are you awake now?"
"Yeah, why was I on the floor?" Naruto was rubbing his head gingerly. It really hurt.
"Oh you tripped."
"I tripped." Naruto could only state expressionless. He really didn't believe that he fell. Hashirama probably hit him to wake him up.
"Yes, you tripped. Now, enough of that. You wanted to become Hokage, yes? Well, what do you say I help you train to become Hokage? Before that though, you must realize that the road to become Hokage is long and grueling. You will often want to quit and sometimes it may even seem impossible. However, you must not quit, if I believe that you are not giving me your all I will stop training you and leave you to fend for yourself, understood?"
"Yes, I already promised someone that I would become strong. This is just more motivation to achieve that." The fire in Naruto's eyes would have made Maito Gai, start screaming about youth.
"Very well, we shall start tomorrow in the training ground you just came from."
"Yes, Hashirama-sensei!"
End Flashback
Now, finally coherent enough that he could actually start to train correctly, Naruto went to the book that Hao had given him. It made him really happy that someone would trust this to him. It was also why he kept it a secret from everyone. He didn't want anyone to steal it, even if it would just look like a child's story book to them. This was his most prized gift and he wasn't going to lose it.
Opening to the first page, where Hao's note was, he reread the message knowing that he would achieve this 'oversoul' before he became an official ninja. Going to the next page he found the basic information of being a shaman. He had learned that a shaman was someone who claims to connect this world and the spirit world. He learned that all religions in Hao's world began with a shaman that had incredible power. It even mentioned someone named Jesus, who apparently was such a strong shaman that he created a religion that had survived for over a thousand years! That was longer than Konoha had even existed.
He had finally learned about the reason why he could see ghosts. He had finally learned what furyoku was. Furyoku is the measure of the sixth sense that an organism is born with. He learned that it was generated by willpower and its integrity is contingent upon the being's conviction. However, he learned of one drawback. Furyoku is an inborn power that cannot be improved merely through physical training. The process for increasing a shaman's Furyoku usually involves a "pseudo-death" experience.
This experience usually strips the being of all other senses except for their sixth sense. While this is happening the shaman must contend with the onslaught of negative emotions from their own being, relying only on their strength of heart to sustain them.
He also learned of an alternative method. He learned that actual, physical death or near death would actually increase a shaman's furyoku dramatically. However, since he didn't want to die, or almost die, he would have to try and do the first method if he wanted to increase his furyoku.
He also learned of the most basic shaman technique. The Hyoi Gattai or Spirit Unity, allowed a shaman to unite with a spirit to be able to use that spirits knowledge and skills. The book stated that this was technically an oversoul, but because it used such little furyoku, it didn't count.
He couldn't wait to try the Hyoi Gattai, but first he would have to learn how to do the Hitodama Mode or Spirit Ball Mode. He would have to compact the soul into a ball shape and then integrate it into his own body in order to effectively use this skill. Therefore, he decided that today he would practice it with Hashirama. He couldn't help laughing when he imagined what Hashirama would do when he found himself inside a living body again.
Sorry for taking so long to update. I didn't know how to end this chapter and I was distracted by trying to think of Naruto's oversoul's. Also, Naruto will increase his furyoku, just differently from what you think.
So keep sending suggestions. Obviously, Hashirama and Mito will be guardian ghosts, but not Kushina. She'll have a special place. Also, who saw the tribute to Anna?
Sorry that it's so short!
