Chapter 9: You're a Ninja Naruto!

It'd been three years now since Robin arrvied in Konohagakure and became Naruto's caretaker.

The boy had progress well in the different sets of training Robin had been able to set up for him.

The blonde had been able to finally hit Lyndis about a year ago. The boy had been shocked when he originally did it, until Lyn revealed the true meaning of the training.

The entire point of him trying to hit her had been to help increase the speed of the boy's swings until he was able to hit a target that moved faster then him.

The training with Lyn had effectively become sparing now.

Naruto's training with Ike and Alm hadn't changed much over the years. Ike would merely help adjust the boy's fighting style to suit him more.

Alm still basically beat the boy up for an hour until Robin called it off.

Naruto's durability had improve greatly however through the training with Alm so that was good.

Naruto's training with the Whitewings continued normally with Naruto switching through it's members and learning how to work with them.

The training altered however when Robin had a strange idea.

*Flashback*

When Naruto had arrived at the clearing today, he hadn't seen the Whitewings. Instead, only seeing his caretaker.

He looked around in confusion. Was his training with the Whitewings getting called off today?

"Perfect timing Naruto!" Robin called out as he walked over to his charge.

"Where are Palla and Catria?" The boy questioned as he pulled Est's card out of his pocket.

"Don't worry Naruto, they'll be here soon, but first." the Tactician put his hand on Naruto's shoulder and knelt down so that he was facing Naruto's face directly. "I want you to fuse using Est's card."

Naruto looked towards his right hand in slight fear before responding. "But Robin-nii. I thought you said not to do that to avoid any more of the side effects."

"Don't worry about that. If this works out like I think it will, this'll help your training greatly."

Naruto proceeded to nod and looked at Est's card as he began to channel energy into it.

While Naruto did that. Robin went back over to the centre of the clearing and began to summon Palla and Catria.

Hopefully this didn't cause any negative side effects.

Naruto didn't really like the idea of fusing with Est. The idea felt wrong to the boy.

But if it would help with his training then he'd do it.

The azure circle appeared and the flash of light followed shortly afterward.

Robin turned around after the light vanished to see what the result had been.

The boy's height had grown slightly. His hairs spikyness had disappeared but it's lengh hadn't altered, it's color was now a mix of pink and blonde. Just like the other fusions, Naruto lost his tanned skin, being replaced by the white coloring. His features had also became more feminine just like the Micaiah fusion.

His clothing had become more dress like but retained it's black coloring, while a white breastplate had appeared on the boy's chest. His fingerless gloves had extended further up his arms and now actually covered his fingers. His shoes had been replaced with heeled boots that were connected to the brown leggings that now covered his legs. The boy now had a small belt like piece of clothing that held the steathed Dagger that Est had given him. The final pieces of clothing were the orange scarf that Elincia had given the blonde that was tied in a way that it only reached his butt and a white headband that all the Whitewings wore.

The boy also held a lance in his hands, from what Robin could tell it was only a Steel Lance.

The boy was noticeably embarrassed, Robin guessed that it had something to do with the dress like clothes.

The sound of a horse startled the boy as he turned to look at where it came from.

A pegasus had appeared behind him.

Robin smiled. It seemed that his idea might actually work.

*Flashback end*

With that discovery made, Naruto's training with the Whitewings had changed to Naruto fusing with Est and then working with Catria and Palla in full team exercises.

The first part of that training had then become teaching Naruto how to ride a Pegasus.

That had taken awhile.

The side effects from fusing with Est had been hard to notice at first until Robin noticed that the boy seemed to have a faint bit of pink in his hair and seemed more...petite then before?

The boy's tactics training with Katarina had been useful for the boy whenever it could happen.

Hell the boy was even starting to get close to beating the white haired Tactician at chess now.

The training with Micaiah had very slow progress. Naruto had been able to use the basic Tomes of each element but had been unable to use any of the stronger versions yet.

Micaiah had been able to example about the mark that had appeared on the boy's arm. Stating that it was the mark of a Branded.

While she didn't know if certain effects of the brand would affect the boy. They had found out that the boy had obtained an ability that allowed him to heal others but caused him to take on an injury similar to the person he healed.

The training with Elincia went basically as well as it could.

Naruto's performance in the Academy had been going well from what Robin could tell. While the boy wasn't the top of his class or anything like that, he was doing alot better compared to when Robin originally arrived.

The boy had attempted the Graduation exam last year but had failed due to his inability to perform one of the three basic jutsus, the Bunshin.

When Robin had learnt of this. He spoke with the Hokage about it to see why Naruto had problems using the Jutsu.

The Hokage had revealed that it had to do with Naruto's large amount of the energy known as Chakra, and because of Naruto's large amount he would always overload the normal clone Jutsu.

Because of this, Sarutobi allowed Naruto to learn a similar Jutsu by the name of the Kage Bunshin.

This seemed to have solved the problem and Naruto was now currently in the Academy attempting the Graduation exam once again.

The sudden opening of the door alerted Robin, until he saw Naruto come through the door and hug him.

"Robin-nii, I did it! I passed the exam!" the boy cried out in happiness as he hugged the older Tactician.

Robin proceeded to pat the boy's head with a smile clearly visiable on his face. "Good job Naruto. I'm proud of you!"

Sasuke growled as he kicked the wall of his home. How did the Dobe pass while he, an Uchiha elite hadn't?

This wasn't fair. How was he suppose to kill Itachi if he couldn't even pass a stupid test? He was never going to obtain the power he needed at this rate!

"You seek power boy?"

Sasuke jumped in surprise as he glanced around the room trying to find the source of the voice.

"Who's there? Where are you!?" He demended.

A dark vortex appeared in the corner of the room as it gave off an eerie presence. Sasuke could make out the slightest form of a silhouette standing hunched over in the vortex.

"I am here boy, and I can give you the power you desire!" The being spoke in a voice that fit it's eerie presence greatly.

This thing could give him power? The power to kill Itachi? That sounded to good to be true.

"What's the catch?" The dark haired boy questioned as he stared at the vortex.

"There is but one simple catch boy." The being uttered slowly. "You will become my vessal and assist me with anything I desire. In exchange I will give you the power to kill your brother and become the strongest being in existence!"

Sasuke grinned after hearing that. All he had to do was become a vessal for this being and he'd have the power to kill Itachi and anyone else that got in his way?

He chuckled in delight as he walked over to the being. "Where do I sign?"

Unknown to Sasuke, the being grinned in delight as well and held out what appeared to be a deck of cards.

"Simply take these cards for now and wait for me to return in the coming week." The vortex began to disappear. "When I return. I will give you all the power you desire."

Sasuke took the cards before asking one final question. "What do I call you?"

Sasuke hadn't realized it, but after taking the cards, a mark appeared on his left hand. It was colored purple and had a set of six eyes on it.

"You may call me...Grima."

Weapon/Jutsu Information.

Steel lance: Stronger then the Iron lance but weaker then the Silver lance and noteably more heavyer then the silver lance.

Bunshin and Kage Bunshin no Jutsu: Clon Jutsus. The normal Bunshin is a basic clone that isn't solid while the Kage Bunshin is a solid clone and also has the added effect of transfering anything the users clones learn to the user.

Authors Notes.

A short chapter. But still important in the long run.

So yeah I've made it that Naruto graduated a year early compared to canon, making him 11. This is mostly so I can do more unique things with the pre Chunins exams arcs and because I wanted to do a different team set up for Naruto compared to canon.

And oh my god, what is Grima doing here? Isn't it meant to be dead? And what is it doing in the Naruto universe? So many questions that don't have answers yet!

You've probably all guessed that the cards that Sasuke was given are Einherjar and your probably wondering which ones he has.

At first I was only going to give him Villians but then I remembered something. Half the villians in Fire Emblem are Magic users and that wouldn't of been a great line up, so I've given him several different characters to work with.

And to be nice I'll let you guys know who three of his Einherjar are gonna be.

Karel, Ashnard and Zephiel.

So yeah that's three of em and the rest will be revealed over time.

Some of you might dislike the fact that I'm giving Sasuke something like this but hear me out before you hate this idea.

Sasuke is meant to be Naruto's rival so putting Naruto above Sasuke in terms of power level is unfair in theory, what's the point of a rival if you out match him all the time? So if Naruto had access to the skills of powerful Fire Emblem characters and Sasuke didn't, there is no point in having the rivalry if Naruto outscales Sasuke in power.

Don't get me wrong I dislike Sasuke's character quite abit actually, but this allows me to not have to set up a new rival for Naruto.

Anyway, I've said enough. Have a nice day/night dear reader.
