Naruto: The Heir of Arceus

Well today before we start I want to take this moment and say this this. Many people have been saying that I have been going in the path of Naruto returning to Konohagakure no sato and forgive his family, well yes and no, for the path I want Naruto has to return to the village, as for forgiving his family not so much, he will NEVER forgive them. Now like I said this has been done tons of time with other neglect fics, however I'm gonna say this only once and I will post a poll that will help decide the future of this story the choices are as follow:

Naruto returns to Konoha, doesn't forgive family just tolerates them, will possibly be a harem.

Naruto doesn't return to Konoha instead runs away with Haku, will join another hidden village/creates village.

Or I can do something I have never done before and make a branch story meaning I continue with my original plan of this story and publish a second one that will depict Naruto not returning to the village.

Well this is what I can do let me know what ya'll think about this and I will choose the best option, but at the moment I will actually say that I'm actually thinking of doing the branch story.

One more thing before we start, someone gave me a pretty good idea on making a new crossover that will continue this one, in this sequel Naruto is sent to the DxD world after his battle with Kaguya, he will retain the plates of course. In this he will be trying to look for a way to return to his world.

Well now that this is all out of the way let's start.

Chapter 6: Wave Part 4: Countdown to the final clash

Naruto sat looking at the sun rise in the horizon, his mind still fogged from the fight he had with his former family. The nerve of that woman to call him her child after all she did to him when he was small. Now she says that's shes sorry for what she did and that she wants him to return to the village to be the happy family that theyre supposed to be. As if he would go back to that hell hole, he left to find a place to belong a place where he would be able to become who he was meant to be.

He swore that he would make them pay for what they had done and he got the chance to do it, however he allowed his anger to blind him. But he would get a second chance soon enough and when he did then he would not let what happened repeat itself, this time he would go all out. However he knew that the next time he fights he will need more power and for that he will need to awaken another plate.

The blond stood up from his spot on the roof of their current hideout and jumped to the ground. Quietly he walked up to the door only for it to open before he could touch it. Naruto stepped back as he saw that his female teammate was coming out with a basket in hand.

"Good morning Haku-chan," greeted the blond.

"Morning Naruto-kun," Haku replied even though she was still a little mad at her blond companion.

"Where are you headed this early in the morning?"

"Just going to find some herbs to help Zabuza's wounds heal faster."

Naruto let out sigh, even though he could recover, there was a limit as to the amount of damage he could heal. Bruises and minor cut or fractures were easy enough along with restoring lost stamina and chakra, but the damage Zabuza received in his fight with Hatake, those were beyond his level. Now the man was bedridden healing the old fashion way, but with Haku's medical knowledge he would be up and about within a few days.

"Okay, just be careful," Naruto told her as he moved out of the way.

"I will," with that Haku made her way to the forest to look for the herbs she needed.

Naruto watched her go hoping that she would be alright… who the hell was he fooling, he knew Haku could take care of herself. After seeing her disappear in the trees, the bond walked inside the hut and went to sit on the mat in a lotus position, it was time to start the test for a new plate.

Mindscape

When Naruto opened his eyes he found himself in one of the strangest places yet. He found himself in a mountainous area, that alone wasn't the strange thing though, what was strange was that there were strange blue crystals all over the place. The blond soon began to walk around to try and locate the answer to awakening this plate. The more he walked the more he was amazed by the place, soon he came to a cliff that gave a great view of a giant tree.

"Man that is one big tree," he said to himself, "but what is this weird thing I'm sensing, it feels familiar for some reason, oh well questions for later."

Naruto turned his back to the tree and began to walk, but soon stopped when he heard a rustling sound. Quickly turning he saw that a shrub had been hit by the wind or something. Just as he was about to turn around a shadow fell over him. As if sensing the danger, Naruto, jump as fast as he could just as something crashed into the ground causing a dust cloud to kick up blocking his sight.

The blond quickly brought his palms together and took his regular stance to get ready for whoever or whatever would appear.

"That was quite the evasion," a soft voice said.

Naruto's head turned in the direction of the trees and watched as a tall man walked out of from within the forest. He had dark blue hair, he wore a strange outfit that consisted of gray pant, gray undershirt with a blue vest over it, blue boots, blue gloves with a blue jewel of some sort, a dark cape, and in his left he had a staff with a large sapphire on it. Though the one feature that drew the blonde's attention the most were the man's ocean blue eyes, the very same color of his.

Before he could respond the man he, Naruto, was force to dodge an incoming attack. Now he finally got a glance at the thing that had attacked him before the man appear. In front of Naruto, where he had been standing not too long ago was a tall bipedal dog like creature glaring at him.

"Who the hell are you two?" Naruto asked as this was the first time he actually met someone that could communicate with him within his mindscape.

"Oh how rude of me," the man said, "the name I go by is Sir Aaron, and the pokemon before you is my friend and partner Lucario. And we are here on behalf of Arceus-sama to give you the toughest test yet."

"From Arceus…" the blond repeated, it had been years since he had heard anything about Arceus, "what is my test then?"

Sir Aaron chuckled before he responded, "your test is to defeat Lucario using nothing more than Aura."

"Aura?" repeated the blond.

"Eh!" said a confused Aaron, "you don't know what aura is?"

"Sorry this is the first time hearing that word actually," Naruto said turning his attention to Lucario who had released a growl.

"Really? Well then I will give you the abridge version. Aura is the spiritual energy that lies in the bodies of humans, this energy can be used to do many things, it can help you communicate telepathically, sense those around you, create barriers, and even create attacks," Sir Aaron said.

"Sounds almost like chakra," murmured the blond.

"In way it is, but however Aura is more versatile and can be deploy in a more pure form, it's also the essence of life," the man said.

"The essence of life…wait, is that why I'm alive?"

Sir Aaron smiled, "yes, it's shocking, but you are alive because aura replaced the chakra that you were born without, and with aura you will be able to use some of the same skills as shinobi, such as tree walking and water walking, but to get there you must first reach a certain level in using aura."

"Sir Aaron, this talk has gone long enough, it's time to finish what Arceus-sama requested us to do," Lucario spoke for the first time.

"indeed my friend," Aaron responded, "Naruto-kun its time, you must fight Lucario using only aura, all you need to do is reach deep within you and grasp the essence that has been dormant within you."

Before Naruto could ask something, Sir Aaron tossed him a piece of cloth.

"One more thing, as I said you must awaken and use your Aura to defeat Lucario, but to do this you must fight blindfolded, this will help you use your other senses that will help you with completing this task," Aaron commented.

As soon as Naruto put the cloth on, he was sent flying back courtesy of a strong kick to the stomach. As the blond stumbled through the ground, Lucario jumped into the air and its foot began to glow as he dived down towards Naruto. Just as Naruto was getting back to his feet gritting his teeth, he tried to use his ears to pick up any movement around him like Zabuza had tried to teach him. However for some reason he was unable to pick up anything, then out of nowhere he was struck on the side of his head knocking him to the ground once again.

Sir Aaron stood in his same place watching as how his first student attacked the blond and couldn't help but wonder why it was taking him so long to open his senses to the aura within. Something was not right, the man frowned as he saw Lucario deliver another powerful Force Palm.

"Lucario stop," Sir Aaron called out to his student.

The bipedal dog stopped at the command from his master and glared down at the blond who removed the blindfold and glared at Aaron.

"Take a break Naruto-kun," the man said not even bothered by the glare.

"Why can't I use the power of the other plates I already awaken?" the blond asked.

Sir Aaron looked at him the turned his gaze to the sky, "Why? It's quite simple, the Fist Plate is the Fighting type, which in turn is more in tune with Aura, it is why most of the fighting type pokemons where able to use aura much easier than the other types."

"So if I can use aura then I will be able to use the fighting type moves and abilities a lot easier?"

"Indeed," the man said, "all you need to do in reality is pull the aura and you will awaken the plate, after awakening it, it's up to you to practice with it to learn how to master the pure aura and not its elemental variety."

-Meanwhile-

Back in Konohagakure, the Hokage was in his home preparing for his trip to Nami, where he would be apprehending his own flesh and blood. It pained Minato to have to resort to this, but it's the only way that he would be able to bring him back home. Yet even when he does bring his son back, there is no guarantee that he will forgive them from what he and Kushina did to him. Still he had to try and he would keep on trying till he forgives them and then they can be a happy family that they were meant to be.

Looking up from his work, he glanced out the window and looked at the bright moon that showered the village in it soothing glow. When he brings Naruto back he knows that the council will do everything in their hands to get his son's mysterious abilities at any cost.

"Soon, we will be a family again even if I have to use this," Minato said looking at this hands.

-Konoha shinobi-

Naomi was sitting on the roof of Tazuna's house looking at the moon wondering if her brother was also looking up at it. Just thinking about him brought tears to her eyes, it had been all her fault that her brother had abandon them. She could have been there for him, but she was far too focused on the attention that she was given that she became blind to anything else. Now here she was face to face with her brother again after 8 long years and things had sure changed a lot.

Naruto had become strong, stronger than she thought he could ever be, and he didn't without being able to use chakra at all. She wondered how he acquired such powerful skills that allowed him to immobilize their mother for a few minutes. Yet she had also been tossed around like a ragdoll all because she didn't want to hurt him, however he didn't have a problem hurting them.

Sighing, Naomi stood up and turned around to look at her former classmate whom had decided to show up.

"What the hell do you want Sasuke?" she asked in an annoyed tone.

"Tch, you're thinking about that loser aren't you?" the Uchiha responded, "I don't see what the big deal everyone is making about him, he got lucky against you."

"My Onii-sama, is no loser teme," she said angrily making the boy scowl.

"He's a loser who left because he was weak, and yet you still pin to him, I don't see what you see in him that makes him better than an elite Uchiha such as myself," Sasuke said, "sooner or later you will become mine one way or another."

With those words the duck haired boy left, leaving a seething Naomi behind who seemed ready to pull a kunai and stab it into his skull.

Kushina who had been close frowned as she heard what the arrogant brat had told her daughter both about her son and how he would own her one way or another. Never had she had the urge to kill the son of her friend before, but now that's what she wanted to do. However something else occupied her mind, she kept thinking back to the encounter with Naruto. He had been able to subdue her with that strange silky thread and her chakra chains had been unable to remove it, which meant that he didn't use chakra, but that was impossible no?

"Kaa-san?" Kushina heard the voice of her daughter call her.

-Naruto-

He didn't know how long he had been here, nor did he have the time as he kept being sent crashing through the ground by a dog. Naruto shakily once again stood up and saw nothing but darkness as he was still blindfolded, how was he supposed to defeat an opponent who was a master at using aura without seeing and using his plate's powers.

'Fuck, this is fucking ridiculous, how am I supposed to fight this mutt, I need the power of my plates, yet this bastard says I can't use them, and his explanation of aura was so vague,' thought Naruto angrily, 'come on Naruto think, there has to be a way to awaken this aura shit.'

'Calm down and concentrate, let go of your emotions and concentrate on your task ahead,' a voice suddenly said in the blonds mind, a rather familiar voice.

'It can't be,' Naruto said, 'Arceus?'

'indeed, I can barely communicate at the moment, I'm using the little energy I can to do so now, but for now concentrate like I said,' the god of Pokémon said, 'we will meet again…'

With that just like he had spoken to him, he was gone again, but even if it was for just a little bit, he had heard the voice of the one he cared for, and that made him happy.

'Ok just like Arceus said, concentrate you dumb blond,' he repeated, 'first thing first calm down."

Naruto took in a deep breath and then released it, he inhaled and exhaled again, slowly he began to calm down. Images of his former family soon surfaced and once again he began to get pissed, but he stopped for a moment.

'NO! Now's not the moment, tossed your anger aside, that's it,' the blond muttered, 'feel all around you…"

Letting the images fade into the background, Naruto began to look deeper into himself, he had to do this. Then he saw something, ahead of him he could see a small blue orb, he lifted his hand and reached for it. While he tried to reach time for him seemed to get longer.

Sir Aaron, gasped as he felt what he had been waiting for, a small smile appeared on his face as he saw that his student also sensed it. It looked like the heir had finally done it, he had taken a big step towards his future.

Lucario shot forward to strike down the blond, his paw began to glow white as he charged up a Focus Punch. Once close he threw the attack, however the attack never hit home, as Naruto's hand shot up and grabbed his wrist stopping the attack.

"I see you Lucario," he said smirking as he cocked his free hand back and his fist glowed blue before punching the dog sending him flying for the first time.

Naruto wasted no time, he ran straight at his opponent, both of his fist glowing with the blue flame like energy that he had finally discovered. Without even stopping his momentum, he ducked as Lucario formed a Bone club to strike him with. A smirk plastered on his face, he delivered an uppercut hitting the dog in its chin lifting him slightly off the ground. He didn't stop there though, as he used his other fist to punch him in the stomach knocking him away only to land at the feet of Sir Aaron.

"Well, how was that," Naruto said removing the blindfold.

"Very well done Naruto-kun," the man said with a smile, "you finally did it."

Before the blond a dull colored plate appeared before it began to glow turning a maroon color signifying that it had awaken.

"Now that you have awaken the aura within you, it is up to you to harness its full power," Aaron said, "our time together may have been short but we will surely meet again in the future, for now return as you friends are getting worried."

"Thank you," Naruto said with a slight bow.

"Go, and make the Arceus-sama proud as you are his legacy."

With that Naruto disappeared from his mind returning to the real world.

"Although he released some of it, his hatred still for his family still runs deep in order to fully become one with the plates he must let go of it," Aaron said.

"Indeed, Arceus-sama, never hated humans, he didn't like them either, Naruto must learn to do the same," Lucario said standing up.

"Are you alright?"

"Yes, he punched me well, but it's nothing I can't handle, I did take it easy on him after all."

"Haha, yes you did, had you mega evolved he would never had done it, for now it's enough, next time though it will be different."

-Hideout-

It had been four days since Naruto had gone into his mind to awaken a plate the longest time he had ever taken. Zabuza was sitting on the couch as he stared at the blond, Haku was making something to eat. The day that they would confront the Konoha shinobi was approaching and the brat had to wake before they can go. Sighing he closed his eyes to rest a little, when he was suddenly hit with a wave of powerful energy. Eyes snapping open the man stared as Naruto stood up from his position, as a blueish hue cover his body, his eyes open revealing a pair of glowing blue eyes.

'Holy shit, what is this energy!?' Zabuza thought, 'he's stronger now, I can feel it.'

"Naruto-kun…" spoke a worried Haku who had ran into the room with sembon in her hands ready to attack.

"I'm back," the brat said with a smirk as the energy died down.

"About time brat," the man said, "get ready we will be striking at dawn."

Zabuza stood up and walked out of the hideout, Haku came up to Naruto and wrapped her arms around him.

"Baka don't worry me like that again," she said softly.

"I'll try not to," he said, 'soon I will be able to put my past behind me, thank you Arceus. Now they will soon know the full power of Nami…no, of Aruseus Naruto.'
