Hey guys! NeroReborn here again with another chapter and answer with a little bit of bad news. I've lost a bit of my inspiration for this story so the updates for it are going to come a little slower than usual.

Another thing is I know that Konoha is a ninja village and should only have a shinobi council but if you look at a few other stories like this, you will see that the civilian council is a common theme in Naruto fanfiction. And remember, this is my first try at writing fanfiction so I welcome CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, not reviews that insult me. You can't call me a bad writer just because I used a common theme.

Right now I'm also working on a secondary story that is a crossover that I have wanted to see but nobody has written. A NarutoxArmedWithWings crossover. So if you want to read it, expect it to be posted sometime soon. Also, the updates are going to come a lot slower once I hit chapter 9 or 10 because I'm not going to be able to prewrite anything until the poll is done so vote now. Anyways, Here is the next chapter. ENJOY!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Dark Souls

Naruto was still walking away from Konoha when a man with white long hair landed next to him. "Hey Naruto." It was Jiraya. He looked sad at the blond and said "I wish that I could help you kid, but the council has forbidden me from training you. But I can give you this." He pulled out two large scrolls. Then he said "The first one is a letter from your parents explaining who they were and what they wanted to happen to you. The second one is a scroll of your father's jutsu that he was developing. I hope that these will help you Naruto."

Naruto took the scrolls wondering "These are from my parents. Why weren't they there for me?" Jiraiya hugged Naruto and said "I'm your freaking godfather and I couldn't protect you." Naruto returned the hug and said "It's alright ero-sennin. I don't blame you." Jiraiya let go of Naruto and then said "By the way, I figured out a way that we could keep in touch." Naruto looked surprised. Jiraiya then said "All you need to do is write a letter and then summon Gamakichi and give it to him. Then I'll get the letter and relay it to the Hokage." Naruto hugged Jiraiya saying "Thank you." over and over again. They separated and said one last goodbye. Then Jiraiya headed back to Konoha, leaving Naruto alone.

Kisara then spoke up "Kit, we need to go. Knowing the council, they've already sent ninja to assassinate you. Head to the land of wind. In there is where we will get to Lordran." Naruto looked behind him one last time and started walking.

Timeskip

Night had fallen and Naruto had set up camp. He decided to read the letter from his parents. He pulled out the letter and began reading.

"Dear Naruto, If you're reading this then you've either become chunin or your sixteen years old. My name is Minato Namikaze, the fourth hokage, and I'm your father. I know this must be a bit of a shock for you but please keep reading. Your mother and I wanted you to have a good life. When I learned that my wife was pregnant with you I about screamed it off of the Hokage monument. I wanted to train you to be the greatest ninja in the world, one that could even surpass me. Your mother and I loved you and we never wanted to leave you, but we knew that we couldn't when the Kyuubi attacked. I am proud to be called your father Naruto. Never forget that. Signed Minato Namikaze."

Naruto was shocked that the fourth was his father but noticed that there was letter in the scroll and began to read it.

"Hello Naruto. I'm your mother, Kushina Uzumaki. If you're reading this then you've already read your father's letter. I just want to say that I'm proud to be your mother Naruto. I would give anything to be with you right now. When I learned that I was pregnant I was excited, thinking of all the precious memories I would make with my little boy. Your father has too much faith in the village. When he chose you to become the Jinjuriki of the Kyuubi I knew that your life was going to be a living hell. Baby, just know that we loved you with all our hearts'. I never wanted to give you the horrible life that you've probably lived. I know what that life is like because I was the previous jinjuriki of the Kyuubi. I love you Naruto. Kushina Uzumaki."

Naruto was in tears thinking "They didn't abandon me! They loved me and wanted me to have a good life!" After crying for a few minutes Naruto decided to sleep.

Timeskip

Naruto was walking in a desert towards Sunagakure. He approached the gate and went to the ninja standing guard. "Name and purpose." "Naruto Uzumaki and here to see Gaara of the sand." The guard looked at him in surprise and said "What business do you have with the Kazekage?" Naruto was shocked as asked "He's Kazekage?" The guard nodded and Naruto said "I'm a friend of his and I need some help." The guard nodded and let him in.

Naruto walked to the Kazekage's office and knocked on the door. A monotone voice said "Come in." He walked in and smiled. "Hey Gaara." Gaara was surprised and said "Naruto Uzumaki. What are you doing here?" Naruto's smile turned into a sad one and said "It's a long story Garra." Gaara nodded and called in his siblings.

Naruto then explained everything about his banishment to them. Gaara was BEYOND pissed. he was thinking of taking Shukaku's advice and destroying a few buildings. Naruto then said "Gaara I want to go into your seal. There's something that Kisara wants to tell him." Gaara was confused and asked "Who is Kisara?" Naruto laughed and said "That's the Kyuubi's real name." Gaara was shocked that the great Kyuubi no Kitsune was a woman and seemed to be quite nice. He nodded and Naruto placed his head on Gaara's.

Inside the seal Shukaku was restless, wanting to destroy something when Naruto and Gaara appeared outside of the cage. They looked around to find themselves in a desert with the Shukaku's cage being a cave with bars on the entrance. Shukaku roared and said "Tremble mortals for tonight you die!" Shukaku sent his tail through the bars at Naruto. The tail was just about to hit him when a burst of fire and electricity stopped the tail from killing Naruto. In the middle stood Kisara, holding her flaming claw in her right hand and her lightning claw in her left.

Shukaku gasped and said "Sister, why are you in that form? We swore that we would never take on our human forms again until we found him." Kisara chuckled and said "Because I have found him and you just about killed him." Shukaku was shocked. He looked at the blonde and, to Naruto and Gaara's surprise, bowed. Then he said "Please forgive me for my actions sage, I didn't know that it was you." Then sand suddenly surrounded Shukaku. When the sand fell, instead of Shukaku, stood a 6 foot tall man with pale white skin. He wore clothes that could have been mistaken for rags. On his back was a large pike made of sand and on his side was a strange weapon that looked more like a mace but was elegantly decorated with gems. "I believe that it will be easier to talk like this."

Naruto then said "It's good to know that you won't try to kill me instantly" Shukaku chuckled at this and then said "If you're here then we need to start the transfer immediately!" Naruto was confused and asked "Kisara, what transfer is he talking about?" Kisara face palmed and said "I knew that I was forgetting something." She turned towards Naruto and said "The last duty of the sage is to absorb all nine of the bijuu. This is so that the sage can gain immortality."

Gaara couldn't take it anymore and asked "What are you talking about? What sage?" Naruto face palmed himself and explained everything that Kisara had told him. Gaara was shocked. Shukaku then spoke up. "When the transfer happens I will leave you Gaara. You will be able to sleep and I will leave you with my control over sand. we need to start the transfer." Kisara removed the seal and Shukaku went into Kisara's cage.

Outside Temari and Kankuro were worried for their brother when both Naruto and Gaara woke up. Gaara explained everything to his siblings. At the end Temari hugged Naruto saying "Thank you for everything you've done for my brother."

In his mind Shukaku said "We need to get going. The entrance to Lordran in in the forbidden cave behind the Kazekage tower." Naruto then said "I need to go Gaara. I need access to the forbidden cave." Gaara and his siblings looked at him and said "Are you suicidal? No one has ever entered that cave and come back out." Naruto laughed and said "Because that cave is the portal to Lordran I need to go there to speak with the Lords." Gaara nodded and wrote up the paperwork and handed it to Naruto and said "Be safe Naruto."

Naruto walked to the forbidden cave. The guard tried to stop him and he showed the guard the paperwork and was let through. He went into the cave with a flare. He walked for about an hour until he came to a deep hole. He dropped a glow stick down the hole. He waited for two minutes and still didn't hear it hit the bottom. "This is the portal. You need to jump down." Shukaku said. Naruto steeled his nerves and jumped into the darkness.
