I do not own Naruto or Mega Man.

Chapter 5

Dr. Light's Laboratory; Roll's Room

Kinzoku slowly woke up after his exhausting battle with the Robot Masters and regaining his memories as Naruto Uzumaki. Kinzoku looked around and saw that he was in a girl's room, with the owner of said room next to the bed asleep. She must have worn herself out taking care of me, thought the former human ninja as he saw the bandages covering her body, That shroud of mine had to have done a number on her. Kinzoku slowly sat up from the bed, careful not to wake Roll, and thought back on his last memories as Naruto Uzumaki.

Kinzoku remembered that he was on a five man team, six if you count Akamaru, consisting of himself, Neji Hyuuga, Kiba Inuzuka, Choji Akimichi, and Shikamaru Nara, the leader and recent chunin of the team. Their mission was to bring back Sasuke Uchiha in his attempt to defect from the Village Hidden in the Leaves to seek out Orochimaru, a rogue sanin, in order to gain more power. His team had met the Sound Five, Orochimaru's personal guards, each one of them trying to slow the team down. Choji fought Jirobo, Neji fought Kidomaru, Kiba and Akamaru fought Sakon and Ukon, and Shikamaru fought Tayuya while Naruto (Kinzoku) himself chased down Sasuke. Naruto soon met up with Kimimaru, a shinobi who could manipulate the bones of his body as weapons, and Naruto would have lost Sasuke if Rock Lee hadn't intervened and let Naruto chase Sasuke while he fought Kimimaru.

Then Kinzoku got to the memory of his epic battle with Sasuke. At first it was one-sided as the Teme actually had training all his life while Naruto got jack squat. Then Naruto had tapped into the demon fox's chakra and got the upper hand, which was until Sasuke had completed his Sharingan's first stage when he got the final tomoe. Then there was the Chidori to the heart; Kinzoku placed a hand over his heart at that memory. Most people would have died after that, but Naruto wasn't like most. Then came the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox. Kinzoku remembered how it felt; the power was literally oozing from his body as he was engulfed in pure raw power and he felt like he could even take on Kami herself. The battle was insane as Sasuke had to rely on the power of that love hickey he got from the pedophilic snake, transforming him into a heartless monster. Then the battle ended with one final clash of two empowered forces; Naruto had the Rasengan that was fueled by the Demon Fox's chakra and Sasuke had his Chidori that was fueled by that Curse Mark. Time slowed down when the two clashed, but the Rasengan was stronger as Naruto's drive was the reason that sent Sasuke flying into the wall. "That was one hell of a scrap," joked Kinzoku before he got to the memory that got him in Wily's clutches in the first place.

Naruto had returned home with Sasuke on his back and Kakashi following, saying how proud he was. That was the last good appraisal Naruto had ever received before everything went to hell. After seeing the state Sasuke was in, Sakura Haruno, the very girl he made a promise to, had beaten him nearly to death before Kakashi and Tsunade, the Hokage at the time, stopped her. But it wasn't enough as the most of the village council had gone behind Tsunade's and ordered Naruto to be executed for using the Fox's power and harming their golden boy.

The execution process was one thing that Kinzoku wanted to forget; getting hit by Justus of five different elements, getting stoned and cut up, and even getting venom injected into his system. Naruto would have died if the Fox hadn't used a special jutsu that only he knew to transport Naruto somewhere safe. Boy did that plan ever backfired, thought Kinzoku as the last thing he ever remembered as Naruto was a grey-haired man in a white coat: Dr. Albert Wily, the very man who changed his life.

Kinzoku then looked over his own memories when he was Metal Man, one of the feared Robot Masters. He remembered training, committing crimes, fighting and being defeated by Mega Man, being friends with Bubble Man and Splash Woman. He even remembered both weddings as he was Bubble Man's best man as Metal Man and the best man for Kiho as Kinzoku. Kiho…Ningyo, thought the red-haired cyborg ninja as tears fell from his face, I'm sorry I couldn't save the both of you. Then he got to the memory of when he met Roll and how she comforted him and how she really cared for him, even if it was just for that day.

Kinzoku looked at Roll's sleeping form with a gentle smile. I have a new life now, thought Kinzoku as he got off the bed and placed Roll on the bed, Naruto had died three years ago in his attempt of escape his execution from the injuries he had received during that very execution. Kinzoku heard a low growl in his skull; it was the Nine-Tailed Fox. I didn't forget about you Fuzzball, thought Kinzoku as he spoke to the Demon Fox. "Don't even think about leaving me out of the picture," said the Demon Fox, "especially after I tried to contact you for the past THREE YEARS!" Kinzoku laughed as he agreed to at least talk to the fox every now and then.

Roll slowly awoke to the sound of laughter and sat up. "Naruto?" asked Roll as she stared at the red-haired cyborg. Kinzoku turned to face Roll and said, "It's Kinzoku Kitsune; Naruto Uzumaki died on the day of his execution." Roll was confused and asked about the name change. Kinzoku sat next to Roll and then said, "I'm going to use this new change in my life to start over, starting with the name change and this." Kinzoku leaned in closer and gave Roll a long kiss on the lips and Roll returned it with her own. Roll broke the kiss and said, "Well I guess there will be some documents to change later."

"Well, Kinzoku," said Dr. Light as he entered the room, "the public have already heard about how three of Dr. Wily's robots have defected and joined Mega Man's side in protecting the peace." Kinzoku's laughter died as he remembered his two friends and how they were killed for helping him. "Do not worry," said Dr. Light as he sensed Kinzoku's uneasiness, "I have already rebuilt them and reprogrammed them to follow my instructions; thinking for themselves and helping humans." Kinzoku smiled as he quickly exited the room and the doctor walked towards Roll. "Kinzoku is really starting over," said Roll as she listened to Kinzoku's cheers of joy, "and I'm going to be there for him."

Kinzoku was glad to see that Bubble Man and Splash Woman, in their Kiho and Ningyo personas, were alive and well. "Easy there Kinzoku," said a blue-haired woman in a teal sundress, "we just got these bodies and the both of us need to be there for the child." Kinzoku stared at his two robot friends in shock. "Yes, Kinzoku," said a round, dark-haired man as he held up blueprints, "Ningyo Hime and I are going to ask Dr. Light if he could do this for us. She will represent how we all are starting a new life by turning over a new leaf."

"She?" asked Kinzoku as a teenaged boy in a blue t-shirt and blue jeans. "Yes," said the boy as he kneeled to pet Rush, "These two both agreed to have a daughter and decided to name her after the one person who helped Naruto find his drive: Haku Momochi." Kinzoku smiled as he thought of the very boy who helped him find the drive to fight becoming the very symbol of change. "We haven't been fully introduced," said the boy as he stood and offered his hand to shake, "I'm Light Rock, otherwise known as Mega Man." Kinzoku was surprised to shake the hand of Mega Man while the Blue Bomber was out of uniform. "Kinzoku Kitsune," said Kinzoku as he shook Rock's hand.

"Dr. Wily's been quiet," said Rock as he sat on the couch and turned the television on, "so I've never had to power-up unless it was needed." Roll entered the living room and gave Kinzoku a hug from behind and then gave him a peck on the cheek. "You were out for a whole week," said Roll as se tightened her grip, "I was afraid that you would never wake up." Kinzoku turned around and gave Roll a hug and a kiss. "I can be really hard-headed at times," said Kinzoku as he gave another quick kiss, "but we all know that Wily can't wait for long." Everyone had a serious look on their faces as they knew that what Kinzoku had said was true: Wily would soon make another attack.

"Well," said Dr. Light as he decided to break the tension, "we will just have to wait until that happens. Now, Kiho, Ningyo, do you have the blueprints for Haku?" Kiho handed the blueprints of their ideas for their daughter and the doctor looked over them. "I think some of these ideas are good," said Dr. Light as he viewed the plans for Haku. "We will mostly let you decide on what she gets," said Ningyo as she sent a smile towards Kiho, "but Kinzoku will be the child's godfather."

Kinzoku smile at the revelation and Roll gave him another hug. "I guess that makes me a godmother," said Roll, getting a confused look on the cyborg's face. "Yes, Kinzoku," said Dr. Light, "even though you were unconscious, you and Roll are husband and wife." Kinzoku let out a big whoop at the news; he and Roll was now officially a married couple. Nothing can ruin this moment! Kinzoku cheered in his mind.

The doorbell soon rang and Kinzoku answered it in his joyful mood, only for it to immediately drop at who was at the door. At the door was a middle aged man with gravity defying silver hair wearing a mask and a bandana over his left eye, a pink-haired girl in a red outfit, and a raven-haired boy in a black shirt with a symbol of a fan on both sleeves and black belts on his arms. Why did Kami decided to hate me at this moment, thought Kinzoku as he recognized the symbol on the headbands, I just got married and announced that I was the godfather of my best friend's daughter. "Excuse us," said the man as he held up a photo of a blond-haired boy with whisker-like marks on his face, "but we were wondering if you saw this boy by any chance, have you?"

Now that Konoha is looking for Naruto, Kinzoku will have to be careful as he has to watch what he does since that he remembers his life as Naruto, he remembers all of his jutsus. Kinzoku will not summon any toads as that would ruin all chances of being happy.
