Well, chapter 8 is here. One of the most famous maps in Birthright. And I intend to have Naruto fight with a certain someone. You'll find out who.

And before you start about Garon not supposed to being able to use magic, in chapter 27 of Birthright, he is seen attacking Ryoma with appears to be a Ragnarok. So I take it he does know how to use magic without the need for tomes, but he prefers his axe over them.

VoidLing: Thanks for your thoughts. I'll admit that upon watching the recent Shippuden episodes, my version of Naruto is different than the cannon. The reason being is that while I'm an efficient writer, I'm not the best in the entire universe. I'll keep in mind what you suggested and change him a bit in this chapter and future ones, but I can't guarantee I'll do everything you ask. Just keep in mind that this story is mine and I have complete control of the final decisions.

Guest: There is a reason why I nerfed Naruto. And that is because if he just went full power on an army which has no chakra mind you, he could take them out easily. I don't want that. Naruto still has Sage Mode and Kurama's chakra, but they would defeat the entire squad with little effort which is why they will appear in very certain chapters. Hope that makes sense.

Enoix27: I'm sorry, but I don't exactly understand what you're saying.

Matt: I'll use your idea in a couple chapters time if I can't think of any more ideas. Regardless, that is a pretty good idea for a personal skill and suits Naruto really well.

Rio Skyron: Oh Selkie's gonna have her moments alright. And to answer your question, for normal Rasengan's, once it is formed, no additional chakra is required so there is no definite limit on how many times it can be used. Rasenshurkins on the other hand require a great deal of chakra, even in Sage Mode - as seen in the Pain battle. Naruto in Shippuden has been seen to be able to make at least three before tiring out and it isn't until the last movie that he was able to make them without the aid of clones.

So to fully answer your question without going into technical terms, I would assume he used quite a fair bit of chakra last chapter.

BlizzardWolf77: Yes I do plan on doing a Conquest story and a Revelations one after that one in complete separate stories.

Please enjoy this chapter. It took a lot of work and effort to get it done. Just don't bash or flame it.

And as usual, Naruto and Fire Emblem do not belong to me. If they did, then they would be a DLC battle between Ryoma and Walhart to see who would be the top Lobster and Naruto would have noticed Hinata much earlier.


Nervous. Excitement. Terror. Those were the feelings that were rapidly going through Naruto's head right now. As he stepped out onto the stage he took note of two things; one was Corrin and Takumi on a boat which was on a lake of water and the other was a roped off section in the audience, and the man sitting inside it.

The man was rather old. If anyone had to guess, they would assume that he was in his late 50's, (but that's irrelevant to the story). His skin was a pale grey, as if he was a ghost. And to top it all off, he was wearing a crown and heavy armour complete with a cloak on his back. The expression on his face showed a scowl, and there was a sense of authority and suspicion. Naruto could only assume that was King Garon.

Naruto held his breath, he could tell that the man was very powerful as he had professional guards with him who were standing behind him with blank looks. Not to mention Naruto felt this... odd energy from him. And it wasn't a good feeling either.

But he had a job to do and so he cleared his throat. "My sincere apologies King Garon. But the singer you requested has been involved in an unforseen incident and as such, won't be able to perform tonight," Naruto said loudly enough for the king to hear. He also hoped that Garon would buy his disguise.

"...I see. That is a shame indeed," Garon spoke in a deep, menacing voice, the scowl on his face deepening further.

"But don't worry your majesty! For we have a young lady who has gladly volunteered to fill in for the absent dancer! She's also just so happened to be one of the best dancers in the world...or so I am told!" Naruto shouted. Garon just sat there indifferently. "May I present...Azura!" And with that, Naruto rushed back behind the curtain feeling the rush of Azura as she bolted onto the stage.

"Did it work?" Kaden asked as soon as Naruto got off stage and undid his disguise in a puff of smoke.

"I hope it did. He looked angry for some reason. King Garon I mean," Naruto replied a bit nervously as he peeked his head around to watch Azura. He was surprised when he saw water coming out of her hands and spreading through the whole auditorium as she started to sing.

In the white light, a hand reaches through.

A double edged blade cuts your heart in two.

Waking dreams fade away, embrace the brand new day.

Sing with me a song, of Birthrights and Love.

The light scatters to the sky above.

Dawn breaks through the gloom, white as a bone.

Lost in thoughts all alone...

Naruto was amazed by her performance, as was Kaden who was peeking out from the curtain. They had never seen such beauty and elegance in their entire lives up until this moment.

"CAPTURE THEM! NOW!" Garon's yell broke them out of their thoughts as they rushed onto the stage and saw the king and his personal guards facing Corrin's army. All of them were standing on wooden platforms which floated on the water.

"Did you think you could outsmart me boy? My spy told me about your little plan long before you arrived. And even without him, I could already sense the magic in that child's disguise. Pathetic," Garon growled as a young girl riding a horse rode up beside him.

"Is that you big brother!?" she shouted which made the prince's eyes to widen. "Elise!" he cried out in surprise at seeing her.

"Interesting. Despite your treason and betrayal, you still seem to care about your sister," Garon noted to himself out loud which peaked Naruto's interest. He'd have to ask Corrin about it later.

"How did you know we were coming?" the prince asked and Garon's lips straightened into a thin smirk.

"My agent from Izumo told me when he saw you in the streets. He has a grudge against one of your soldiers it seems," Garon explained, as a familiar face rushed up to him and bowed shakily.

"D-does this mean you'll tell Lord Leo not to kill me your majesty?" Zola asked with a stutter as the king looked down with an evil grin.

"No. One way or another, your work is done. For good," and with that, he drew out a massive axe and swung at Zola which struck the mage and sent him flying across the room until he hit a wall. Even the thickest of people could figure out he was dead.

"Bah. Coward," Garon spat uncaringly while wiping the blood off his axe.

"Corrin! We can't fight these guys! I have a feeling they're better than us! Just save what you're doing for another time!" Naaruto yelled and the prince, standing between him and Garon and his men, cursed under his breath at the predicament he was in.

"Everyone! Retreat! Make for the curtain!" Corrin barked a bit desperately. The rest of his army realised that the plan to capture Garon failed and so they started to rush towards the curtain, only to find a mass of soldiers blocking their path.

"I don't think so boy! You may have escaped at the Hoshidan Border, but you shall not escape this time!" Garon thundered, the platform above the water holding him shaking slightly.

And from that moment on, it was pure chaos. Corrin's army tried to flee, but the platforms were very narrow and shook creakily which made running across them very difficult. And that wasn't a good thing as Hinata and Oboro were struggling to fend off heavily armoured knight on a horse with what seemed to be a hammer. The rest of Garon's soldiers rushed towards the stranded army, while the king himself stood impassively at the far back of the battlefield.

Naruto bit his lip before setting his gaze on Garon. He thought that if he took him out, then the soldiers overwhelming Corrin's army might retreat. It was a risky plan, but it was better than nothing. He took a deep breath as he rushed onto the stage and leapt onto a Knight's head, causing him to stagger in his heavy suit of armour, as Naruto jumped through Garon's soldiers with ease until he was facing the king directly.

"You're actually intending to challenge me boy? You're certainly not most like others who have dared fight me," Garon stated a bit disbelievingly, brandishing his massive axe which gleamed brightly in the light.

"And you're about find out why old man," Naruto said forming a hand seal. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" he shouted and five replicas of Naruto appeared beside him in puffs of smoke.

Garon just smiled. Whether it was an evil or a genuine smile, nobody could figure it out. "Very well then! Let's see if you can impress me!" By now, Corrin was watching and couldn't help but feel slightly impressed. He had heard that very few people had the gall to challenge Garon from what his siblings told him, yet Naruto was standing up to him with no fear at all.

"Oh you bet I will!" Naruto yelled forming a hand seal. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" he exclaimed and three replicas of Naruto appeared beside him.

Garon just raised his eyebrows quizzically, but made no comment. His response was to raise his free hand and giant fireballs materialised around the Narutos and closed in on him, creating a massive explosion when they met, resulting in a giant cloud of smoke. However, the Narutos easily jumped out of the cloud, dusty and panting a bit, but otherwise mostly fine.

"Hm," Garon grunted as he swung his axe behind him, dispelling a clone which had attempted to rush up behind him with a shuriken. Naruto was pondering his next move when he heard Kurama's voice in his head.

"Brat, don't try to beat him. The plan failed and all you're doing now is just providing a distraction so that everyone else can get away," the fox ordered and the real Naruto looked between the king of Nohr and Corrin's army, who was struggling to fend off Garon's guards. Naruto bit his teeth in frustration and then noticed the platform that he and Garon were standing on and had a brainwave.

"Got it Kurama, I know exactly what to do!" Naruto said with a mischievous tone, as he motioned his clones to come closer so that he could tell him his idea. The two clones responded with nods and grins -that is until they registered Garon's axe flying at them. Naruto barely moved his head to avoid getting impaled while cursing himself for being careless. His clones dived out of the way and into the water.

"So this is what you are capable of? I expected more out of you," Garon declared as his axe flew back to his hand on its own. "Must be some magic," Naruto guessed.

"Trust me, I'm capable of much more! But I'm not here to beat you, I'm here to distract you," Naruto said. He rushed towards Garon with his last shuriken and jumped over a swing and tried infused chakra into his fist, swinging at Garon right at his armoured chest. Despite the strength the powered attack had, it did nothing other than simply make the king skid back slightly and make Naruto's hand throb in pain.

Naruto didn't know what to do. He knew he wasn't supposed to defeat, let alone kill, Garon, but Corrin was struggling with an armoured knight on a horse on the stage and if he died, then they had pretty much lost. He just hoped that his clones would hurry up with what they were doing.

Garon still retained his stoic expression. He raised his hand yet again as a surge of lightning bolts struck Naruto without any warning. However he easily shook them off and swiftly regained his balance as he watched the water closely.

"Have you given up already?" Garon asked, as he tossed his axe at the boy who immediately dodged it twice as it returned to its master.

"No. It's just that I'm waiting for..." Then he saw it: bubbles rising from underwater. "NOW!" he yelled jumping up. Garon looked confused until the platform literally somersaulted. And with it, the king was thrust forward, falling straight off.

"WHAT!" Garon yelled in shock, before falling face first into the water, resulting in a loud splash which caught everyone's attention on the battlefield. Garon resurfaced, wet and enraged, and it was safe to say everyone was taken aback by the display.

"Oh would you look at that!" a familiar rude voice drawled from the Hoshidan side, which belonged to Azama who was struggling not to burst out laughing. "It seems that the mighty King Garon just got knocked down a notch! And he's supposed to be the leader of Nohr as well!" Some people with hatred for Nohr grinned at that.

But back to the issue, Garon swam over to the platform and climbed onto dry land which was a wet platform. Only this time, he was angry. Angrier than anyone had even seen him before.

"GUARDS!" he thundered and all the Nohrian soldiers looked at him obediently. "Forget the Hoshidan Army! They can die another day! For now, make this boy PAY for humiliating me!" and with that, he ran at Naruto with speed that nobody thought was possible and grabbed him roughly by the collar.

"Be thankful that I can't be bothered to stay here any longer, boy. Know that from this moment on, you have made an enemy out of the Kingdom of Nohr," he spat and threw Naruto at a boat near the stage.

As if things couldn't get any worse, they did."Father! Are you alright!?" a deep regal voice shouted, as a man with blonde hair, wearing black armour and riding an armoured horse burst through the wall, looking concerned.

"Xander!? What are you doing here!?" Corrin exclaimed, surprised. Xander's gaze harshly rested on him and instantly turned into a scowl of anger.

"That is none of your concern TRATIOR," Xander spat with venom. "I cannot believe you actually had the nerve to stage an attack on the man you once called, 'Father'," He then rested his eyes on Garon who was stomping out of the opera house by a passageway. He looked back at Xander briskly and nodded, as well as throwing Naruto a glare that could melt an iceberg, before finally stomping off.

"And as for you," Xander turned to Naruto who stumbled out of the boat. "I don't know how you made my father so angry, but humiliating Nohr's leader is an act that cannot go unforgiving," Xander said, readying his sword which was coated in darkness. He then raised it in the air and a beam of darkness erupted from it, heading straight at Naruto. However, Naruto dodged and glared at Xander.

"Brother please! This is madness!" Corrin cried rushing to Naruto's side. The blonde was surprised that the prince would actually help him fight this man, but he shook off the surprise as he readied himself.

Xander remained silent for a second before gritting his teeth. "I am not your brother anymore Corrin, get that idea out of your head. We are enemies of your own choice. That is all I have to say to you, prepare to fight and die," and with that, he charged at Corrin, who barely blocked the strike, but Xander followed with an uppercut strike which sent the prince flying. It was pretty clear that he knew Corrin better than anyone here and knew his weaknesses like the back of his hand.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto shouted, creating two clones who charged at Xander with chakra infused kicks, which the High Prince blocked with ease without any damage to his sword. Xander retaliated by firing another dark beam at the real Naruto, who was pushed out of the way by a clone, killing him instantly in a puff of smoke.

"Lord Xander!" a shrill and raspy female voice yelled from the hole where Xander emerged from.

"Are you alright, Milord!?" a male voice shouted with concern. Xander sighed, he obviously knew who the voices belonged too and seconds later, the newcomers entered the battlefield.

The first one was a girl, perhaps a couple years older than Naruto, on a horse. She had sky blue hair with slight pink traces at thetips which also happened to be tied into two pigtails and covering one of her eyes. She was wearing armour and had a lance which had slight traces of blood on its sharp end.

The other was a man with brown hair and who was wearing a navy tunic. He clutched a sword tightly in his hand as he intently observed the battleground.

"It took you two long enough. The fight is just about over," Xander scolded, making the newcomers look down sadly. "None the less, I have a job for you," Both looked up, determined and obedient.

"I need to you to occupy that boy while I deal with the traitor. When I'm done with him, I'll kill that kid personally," Xander ordered and charged at Corrin, who tried to frantically fend off his brother's fearsome attacks. Naruto on the other hand focused on the two newcomers, one who was smiling with glee.

"Yay! It's been long since I last saw the blood of my enemies!" the girl cheered in a delighted tone eagerly which surprised Naruto, and the man next to her just breathed deeply and looked at Naruto with an solemn look.

"Don't mind Peri, she's always like this," he said nodding to his partner. "And don't take this too personally, I'm just following Lord Xander's orders, as his retainer," he apologised, before rushing at Naruto swinging his sword. Naruto dodged each strike nimbly and threw a chakra infused punch at the man who wasn't expecting the strength, and was sent sprawling on the ground, but he quickly leapt back up again.

Naruto didn't have time to do anything against him as Peri rode up and swung her lance with great skill and efficiency. When Naruto jumped away, she pulled out a speared object which she threw at the blonde, however, he caught it and turned around to see Corrin struggling with Xander. With quick thinking, he threw the javelin like object at the crown prince, which collided with his heavy armour, startling him. Corrin used this chance to attack Xander. He only got one blow in before Xander blocked the rest effortlessly.

However, he didn't expect Naruto to actually latch onto him and try to grab his sword. The prince retaliated by firmly grabbing the blonde by the hair, and glowering at him before throwing him into the danger zone of Peri and that other man whose name he didn't know. When Naruto looked up, he saw Peri standing over him with a sword and a devilish look in her eye.

"Hah! Got you now!" Peri chanted as she swung at the blonde who barely rolled out of the way to avoid getting stabbed. However, the man was expecting this and thrust his sword at Naruto as he was getting up, sharply jabbing him right in the shoulder.

"Gah!" Naruto gasped looking over quickly at the new wound which was slowly forming. It was a nasty wound that pierced his skin, but thankfully it didn't hit any bone or muscle or else he would have been in serious trouble. Naruto didn't notice Peri sneaking up behind him.

"Right where I want you!" Peri cackled as she charged forward, swiping her sword and making Naruto barely dodge as she did a combo attack which he was only just able to evade. One attack brushed his jumpsuit, tearing it a little. The Cavalier frowned a little upon seeing it.

"Oh boo! Stay still so I can see your blood! I promise I'll leave your intestines alone... probably!" Peri pouted childishly as she pulled out her lance in one hand while brandishing her sword in her other hand, as her horse charged forward and bent down so Peri could get some hits in. But like the pervious times, Naruto was faster than her and dodged and ducked each one. As soon as he heard her declare that sentence, he'd had enough.

"Well, it's been fun, but I gotta go now!" Naruto said forming a Rasengan in his hand and charged at Peri who in turn lunged as well with her lance so both attacks would impact with one another.

"Rasengan!" Naruto shouted as he shoved the ball of chakra into the pointed of the lance which overpowered it easily. BOOM! The explosion startled even Xander - he looked over his shoulder to see his retainer covered in smoke and stuck under her horse at the far end of the room.

"Lord Xander! Laslow! Help!" Peri cried as the finally named Laslow rushed to assist her in her predicament. Xander on the other hand, just gritted his teeth and appeared to get a burst of strength, which didn't help Corrin at all. Knowing he had to help him, Naruto did the only thing he could.

"Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!" he shouted and as soon as he was done a dozen copies of Naruto surrounded Xander. One of them whispered something to Corrin who nodded and got ready to bail out of there.

POOF! All the clones popped into a massive cloud of smoke which effectively blocked anyone from seeing what was happening inside it. Xander had the unfortunate issue of being trapped inside and as such, was blinded and had to swing his sword around wildly in an attempt to get rid of the smoke.

While the Crown Prince of Nohr was busy slashing away, Corrin and the real Naruto rushed behind the curtain where the rest of the army was waiting for them, all bruised and exhausted.

"Don't rest just yet! We need to get out of here before Nohrian reinforcements arrive!" Corrin ordered. Everyone wasted no time in hurrying out the back entrance and down the dark night streets to escape to the outskirts of town, where the portal to the fort would be waiting for them.


Back at the stage, Xander, along with Laslow and Peri who was resting on his shoulder, finally blew away the smoke, but was shocked, (the retainers), and angered, (Xander), to see that Corrin and his army was gone. Not wasting any time, Xander turned to face his retainers.

"Laslow, Peri. I am going after that traitor and the kid. You are to head back to the convoy on the outside of town. When I get back, we will return to the castle," Xander ordered and commanded his horse to head behind the curtain, which did so with a bounding gallop. A door was then heard being knocked off its hinges - Xander must have found the back exit.

Sighing, Laslow turned to his partner who was being nudged by her horse. "Are you alright Peri?" he asked concerned. Even if she was a bit... odd at times, she was still his partner and friend and therefore, he worried for her.

"I'm fine Laslow. The maids back at the castle will make me better in no time," Peri replied standing up and suddenly hunching over from the pain. Laslow quickly adjusted her so that her arm would be around his shoulder as they walked slowly out of the opera house.

"Tch. I can't believe he beat me Laslow! Next time, I'll spill his blood for sure!" Peri suddenly declared a bit angrily. Laslow just sighed and thought about Naruto.

"No matter what she says, you fought well and seemed like a nice guy. I just wish we could have been on the same side though..." the brown haired mercenary thought solemnly, as he and his partner left the opera house and started the trek to the Nohrian convoy stationed outside town.


And that's chapter 8 done! Sorry if the ending felt a bit rushed, I just wanted to get the chapter up.

Next chapter: the Lobster Lord arrives! The entire Nohrian army stands no chance against the most broken character in all of Fates. Takumi comes in a close second in terms of brokenness however.

Please leave a review! I value all kinds of feedback and criticism as long as it's not bashing or flaming this story.

See you guys later!
