I don't own Naruto, fate any shows or movies the following a fan based fanfiction please support the official release
She was alive, Isabella Harkness, heir to the Harkness family in America. A family whose origin date back to Salem, the second mage whose magic ended with the result of Akuseru's arrival in this world and now apparently her as well. Isabella slowly walked up to Naruto having him binded by a spell her mother taught her. In her mind she was furious ,and seeing Akuseru made her recall how she got to his world. The plan was simple, raid the Tohsaka estate kill anyone inside, gathering a group interested in fame or mage knowledge they attacked.
However the plan went aire for another group had shown up before them alerting the owner of the estate and the bounded field's. Sending out her group proved effective yet futile for in they're efforts they weakened the Tohsaka heir, but died in the process. Seeing this she grew confident and stepped into the fight as the last raider fell. To her quick surprise turned fury Akuseru had managed to still equal her. Isabella took great pride on surpassing her mother and everyone in spells and witchcraft, but to see this magus great family or not, keep up with her after fighting two raid groups enraged her.
Using All her most powerful spell, and all her mana, not knowing the magus of the Tohsaka family did the same. Both spell and magecraft clashed resulting a explosion and a white light sending her to this realm. She swore he was dead having seen his body lying as she disappeared. She arrived in a place called 'Kusagakure' founded by a pale skin man who reeked of snakes. He was going to experiment on her,but she quickly put a stop to that. She blasted him away with a energy blast, and offered the snake a better deal then experimenting on her. She would teach him what she knew and work with him if he did vice versa.
For years with the snake, and his grotesque method's of experiment's, She studied these land's, and powers discovering she too was embedded with it, and in her time she stumbled upon a Book. Sown skin made it's covers,pages upon pages of dark magic from her world inscribed in it contents.(can you guess?) Soon she became engulfed in the book, studying all she could read Until one day she heard a voice "it awakens". Soft as it was, she could barely make out what it said, but the book as if hearing flipped through pages rapidly landing in the middle. The pages shown A figure shifting between a man and a woman with a title, 'The Scarlet witch/Warlock'.
She began reading, And as she read the voice became more clear to her 'Find the vessel'. Then it hit her, this was the book that was once in her family's possession,but it disappeared as her mother said. Deciding to follow what the voice said, she used her familiars, and spies that Orochimaru provided, after a week the results she collected made her grind wickedly. Akuseru was here and he allied himself with the Village Orochimaru plans to destroy in a few years. Finally she found her target thanks to her Rabbit Familiar. It saw The moment Naruto activated his Chaos magic and watched the process of him becoming a magus.
Suddenly a intense pain ignited in her hand, and she watched as three Red seal grafted themselves on her left hand in the shape four angel wings protruding from a shakujo (think hagoromo sun side of his staff). She knew what these seals were and it only solidified her resolve, which is why she's here now. Looking at the boy she towered over, as Akuseru's Gandr bullets try to break her barrier. "You asked what I want hun,hm.. oh I know I want to summon my servant, and I want your power", She said with a evil glint in her eye. She then took out a dagger and a torn dusty cloth, and with the dagger, cut Naruto's stomach right on the seal.
This Dagger was special, it construction was a blend of her magic,seals taught to her by orochimaru and runes. Embedded with the powers of the kusanagi after receiving a few pieces from Orochimaru. This allows the dagger to cut anything added with the spells seals and runes attached this dagger itself could cut a tailed beast even when they're inside the seal. Which is what she wanted,knowing the tailed beast will heal the host,this dagger allows only a small bit of chakra to leak through,and heal while the rest is blocked off allowing more blood from the beast and host to flow through. Inside the seal Kurama was writhing in pain from a large gash in the same spot as Naruto. Blood poured freely from the wound and traveled through the seal as the beast tried to close both of wounds.
Outside blood flowed from Naruto's wound surrounding him and a large puddle. Tossing the dagger aside Isabella activated her magic circuits and manipulated in the blood into forming a large seal array one that Akuseru knew very well. the mage try as he might for all his efforts could not make significant progress, he had traced even common swords, halberds, spears, kunai, shurikens only succeeded in minor cracks. He needed a better weapon,he needed a Noble Phantasm. He searched desperately through his reality marble 'unlimited Warfield'While he searched, Isabella finished manipulating the blood. When done she tossed Naruto to the edge of the Barrier for now and began the incantation holding the cloth.
"Silver and iron to the origin.
Gem and the archduke of contracts to the cornerstone.
The ancestor is my great master Schweinorg." as she began the seal of blood glowed as did her's, Naruto's and Akuseru's command seals, one responding to the summoning and the other two in warning of an incoming servant. Meanwhile Akuseru had found the weapon He was looking for, thinking if he ever met this servant He would have to thank them "Trace on!!"
"The alighted wind becomes a wall. The gates in the four directions close, coming from the crown, the three-forked road that leads to the kingdom circulate.", she could sense Mana, and chakra rising outside the barrier but ignored it thinking Akuseru wouldn't break it. Akuseru poured a large amount of mana into this, his energy taking form of a large construct, before it emitted a flash of light.
"Shut (fill).
Shut (fill).
Shut (fill).
Shut (fill).
Shut (fill).
Repeat every five times , shatter once filled. I announce." Isabella turned back as the light died, showing Akuseru holding what appears to be a massive gray club like mass with large obsidian shards protruding from the bottom resembling a sword or an axe. Lightning danced off of the large weapon held above the mage who had a serious face.
"Your self is under me, my fate(doom) is in your sword.
In accordance with the approach of the Holy Grail, if you abide by this feeling, this reason, then answer.", Isabella quickens the spell as Akuseru winds his arm holding Nine lives back, his circuits active reinforcing his body "Nine lives blade works!", Akuseru roars and slashes at the Barrier consecutively his pace quickening with each strike. Large cracks start appeared in the barrier, slowly repairing itself, but not keeping up with the mage's speed. Unfortunately for Akuseru who wanted to stop her,Isabella was wrapping up.
"Here is my oath. I am the one who becomes all the good of the world of the dead, I am the one who lays out all the evil of the world of the dead. You, seven heavens clad in three words of power, arrive from the ring of deterrence, O keeper of the balance!", "Rahhh!". With a shout and a final swing the barrier broke, and when it feel a beam of light exploded upward from the sealing array, covering the area in smoke.
wasting no time Akuseru rushed to Naruto's side and traced a dagger his grandfather has shown him long ago 'Rule breaker', The dagger of princess Medea of Colchis. Using the dagger he broke the bindings on the boy and picks him up,just in time to hear these words. "I ask of you, Art thou my master", The voice was feminine despite the slight rough tone. It was a beautiful tan-skinned girl with red eyes and white, veil-like hair under her actual white veil. Her body is carved with the white marks of war and tattoos of combat. Strapped to her hip was a Tricolored broadsword of red,green,and blue. Dread washed over the magus Shinobi, for in front of him was a Heroic spirit. The first servant summoned for the Holy grail war, and if that weapon was any indication of class then this was the servant of the sword: Saber.
"Yes I am Isabella Harkness", the witch responds to her servant getting a nod from the white haired woman. "Then our pact is sealed..", Akuseru couldn't hear what else this servant said for he had chosen to flee with Naruto in his arms. Jumping through the trees toward the village as fast as he could muster, he had to get away. Akuseru knew he was no match for a servant no matter the rank no human could go toe to toe with one and expect to live or at least intact. Suddenly his senses instincts were screaming at him to move, listening he attempted to drop down, only he did so to late.
The servant had caught up to them, and in a burst of speed past them, only to grab a tree to whirl herself back around, Landing a jawbreaking kick to Akuseru's face sending the mage crashing through the trees, as he landed back at the sealing array. A smug smile danced on Isabella's face as she watched the mage tumble back to her holding the boy she came for. Struggling to get up Akuseru stared at Isabella then towards her servant who returned to her master's side. In this moment Akuseru mentally cursed at himself, for not training more in his magecraft and Jutsu, but also he cursed his eyes. He remembered waking up in a medical room and seeing himself with a different pair of eye's, but they returned to normal after he saw them, and he could never see them again.
"Just give me the boy Akuseru, you see his hand, He is to be a master in this upcoming Grail war, he is the Scarlet Warlock he's unstable, a danger to the very fabric of reality why help him?", Isabella inquired, in hopes of egging on the Tohmiya heir. Naruto who managed to stay awake during the whole ordeal, watched on in fear and curiosity. Inside his mind Kurama who just finished healing himself, looked through the boy's eyes, when Naruto's eyes landed on the 'Servant' they were shocked. Words and letters surrounded the figure telling them about this servant and it's strengths.

"So this is what that mage meant, that kick alone was unbelievable!, He won't survive against them both Naruto not without help",Kurama said slowly conjuring up plan. "Kurama Do you have anything in the tank", his host asked in hope but the beast shook his head, "No my chakra was all used to heal us both, whatever that dagger was it disrupted our chakra flow, but in your case it stole from your chaos energy too, u still have magecraft but right now it's weakened until your magic fully refills ". Naruto grunted hunched over trying to get himself up.Kurama stared at the circle around them deeply, and then the idea fully formed "Tra-".
"No Naruto!, stop look",Kurama interrupted allowing Naruto to see Akuseru trace the Saber class servant's blade,and now Naruto was shocked. "I will protect this boy because very few have, Because he deserves to be treated with kindness. I will protect him because he is my apprentice, and my brother so it's my right to do so. I will protect him because he is citizen of Konoha, and my comrade. I will protect Naruto till he becomes the strongest warlock,mage, and Shinobi in the multiverse, even from you!.", Akuseru shouted with conviction standing firm in front of a now teary eyed boy. Isabella snarled and merely flicked her wrist motioning her servant.
"If you would be so kind Saber, dispose of him", That was all Saber need for she dashed at Akuseru with Great speed tearing up the landscape, Appearing above him she brought her blade down ready to cleave the mage in half only for the replica of her sword To parry the strike and reflect her away. Using his free hand Akuseru grabbed 3 gems from his tool pouch one yellow and shaped like a sapphire, one emeralds and shaped like a star, and one red and shaped like a diamond. Placing the red diamond gem on the hilt of the blade, the gem glowed faintly. Akuseru took a swing and it's slash cut down a tree next to them. "There we go let's start again Saber!", Reinforcing his body Akuseru dashed at the servant and the two began a deadly dance.
Akuseru dodged a deadly strike towards his jugular, and grabbed saber's arm and planted the green gem on her which stuck to her skin. Kicking her away Akuseru shot a Gandr bullet at the gem causing a big explosion. Definitely not enough to harm a servant but enough to push Isabella away as she found herself blown back after trying to reach Naruto. "Trace on!" In a few seconds eight different swords surrounded Naruto like a barrier, Just in time as Saber had returned to the fight.
meanwhile Naruto was listening to Kurama and with a nod the blond turned his attention towards the summoning circle.
"Repeat after me Naruto" Kurama said after finishing explaining his plan and looking through Naruto's current memories.
"Silver and iron to the origin.
Gem and the archduke of contracts to the cornerstone.
The ancestor is my great master Schweinorg
The alighted wind becomes a wall. The gates in the four directions close, coming from the crown, the three-forked road that leads to the kingdom circulate.
Shut (fill).
Shut (fill).
Shut (fill).
Shut (fill).
Repeat every five times , shatter once filled. I announce!"As Naruto and Kurama chanted, and Akuseru fought desperately against Saber, Isabella who recovered resumed her attempt of getting Naruto when she heard something faint. "Your self is under me, my fate(doom) is in your sword. In accordance with the approach of the Holy Grail, if you abide by this feeling, this reason, then answer!" It was the summoning Chant, The brat or the fox remembered only hearing it once!. Isabella in her haste attempted to stop the boy using her magic to grab him, but nothing happens. This was because the very swords Akuseru placed around Naruto were all Defensive each embodying their own protection skill/spells from their original's.
""Here is my oath. I am the one who becomes all the good of the world of the dead, I am the one who lays out all the evil of the world of the dead. You, seven heavens clad in three words of power, arrive from the ring of deterrence, O keeper of the balance!", Naruto yelled and the seal below Saber and a now fallen Akuseru glowed with power taking on a red color. Red and black energy exploded upwards as what occurred earlier covering the area in dust again. The female sensing another presence jumped to her master's side.
In a flash of red eight red streaks zipped past Naruto's sword Barrier, and a second later all eight were shattered like glass. "You mortal child, I ask of you Art thou my master", The voice was male it had a deep and rough tone. It was a two and a half meters tall man. Deep red skin with a white scar running along his chest and arms, his face was covered by a long black shroud with golden fur outlines. On the shroud was golden outlines of diamonds with black diamonds in each gold's center. Surrounding the shroud was a chain that glowed with the colors of molten lava, the only thing of his head that could be seen is the man's long unruly black hair.
He wore a long black and gold sash around his waist held up by a symbol of two diamond tips overlapping with a circle behind it and three chain rings coming from the lower point of the symbol. Underneath were white bandages stretching down to his thighs. His legs were covered in ancient Grecian black footwear with black and gold guards over his lower legs. His left arm supported these same bracer guards, but also had a golden ring on each arm his right arm was wrapped in a black sash with a plain pattern on it. Finally in his left hand was a large Bow wrapped in a tan cloth.
Isabella was furious for not stopping the boy in time, no she was furious at Akuseru for protecting the now Master of Archer for the Grail war. She turned towards the servant to gauge it's stats, only she couldn't make out a thing. In her eyes a red mist covered both the servant and his stats giving her no information. "I ask you again young one, Art thou my master?",The man asked again ignoring everyone else in favor of the blond Infront of him. "H..Hai, I'm Naruto Uzumaki", Naruto responded meekly at the giant man, "Then our pact is sealed,I am your servant Archer and we shall fight to obtain the grail. Shall I dispose of the servant and master's?", Archer asked.
Naruto looked at his left hand and saw the command seals glow in confirmation. His command seals was shaped into three wings with the beginning of the first and last forming a bow, the middle with formed a arrow, behind the wings was a thin half circle. His attention then turned towards Saber and her master's then towards the downed Akuseru, and finally on his servant.
Instantly information poured into Naruto's mind and As before with Saber information about his servant's stats appeared before him.

Naruto stared in amazement at his servant,but quickly focused on more pressing matter's. He was about to call his servant name when Kurama stopped him. "No Naruto! do not say his name, I believe there's a reason that girl calls her servant saber, and why he introduced himself as Archer. Just stick to his class for now", Nodding to the Nine tails Naruto addressed his servant. "Archer Save Aku-nii, Drive saber and her master away!" Naruto yelled his command seals glowing bright. With a firm nod Archer turned towards Saber, He couldn't understand why his master would want to save an enemy master with no servant, but listened anyway hoping to get answers later.
with quick speed Archer had loaded 4 arrows and fired them faster then the master's could blink. Saber on the other hand saw them and quickly sliced the four arrows before dashing at Archer. Seeing the servant of the sword rush at him blade poised, Archer merely ducked under her swing and land a vicious punch to her sternum, not finished Archer delivered a back hand across Saber's head. Saber in her now rising fury Slashed at the Servant of the bow again only to be blocked by bracer on his left wrist. Naruto's servant Went for another punch, but Saber predicted that and used her free arm to block his assault trapping the two in a deadlock.
Unfortunately it seemed Saber Didn't originate from the same era, or at least never fought A Greek, Alcides brought his foot up towards Sabers chest then in one fluid motion and enough Force Kicked the Saber class servant Sending her flying through the trees destroying them as she flew. Giving her no time Alcides Reloaded his Bow this time tmhe 4 arrows were coated in a purple substance. He released two sending them towards the flying Saber, then he released one At her Master. Isabella wa.s able to avoid the Arrows but barely as it torn through her dress.
Saber who recovered in mid air just in time to slice the two arrows while her master Ran to her side. Meanwhile Archer had o.e last Arrow loaded, With a calm deep breath from Archer the arrow glowed a bright red blinding the very weapon, Looking at Saber and her master's Direction Alcides called out. "Shooting The Hundred Heads!", Releasing the Arrow which split into one hundred glowing red arrows all aimed for Saber and her master. Isabella erected a Barrier in hopes to prevent the Arrows from attack them, only for her barrier to be blown apart by the first ten arrows, Saber in all her skills Managed to take out sixty arrows with though ten had pierced her body, ten more arrows where blocked by another of Isabella barrier's.
However the last ten managed to break it with two arrows piercing her Left leg and right shoulder. These arrows were special to Alcides legend and Noble phantasm king's order 2nd labor, these arrows were dipped in the venom of the Lernaean Hydra. subjecting anyone including Gods with a excruciating pain. "Give up Saber, and I will give you the antidote, But if you stay,and fight you,and your master will die". Alcides told them holding up a small vial, his Enhanced eyes from being in the Archer class saw the servant nod and with a flick of his wrist threw the vial at her, Saber reached forward and caught the flying vial, before grabbing her master and vanishing.
Sensing no more threats Alcides turned towards his master who had ran over to the Fallen mage. "Aku-nii come on, it's safe now, get up brother", Naruto called out to the older mage shaking him, but to no avail, for Akuseru was low on magical energy, chakra, and sporting various cuts,slashes and bruises. "Archer can you take us to Konoha?" Naruto asked the servant.
nodding Alcides placed Akuseru over his left shoulder and with his hands picked up his Master and headed towards the Hospital.
(few weeks later)
To say Naruto had a swimmingly good time would be false. Firstly Upon returning to Konoha and informing the aged Hokage what had transpired, Which resulted in Mistake number one. The hokage didn't entirely believe that Alcides was a servant and when Anbu appeared to Restrain him, well let's just say the Hokage required new anbu. This in turn however alerted the Hokage on the seriousness of the situation, He remembered Akuseru's words on The Holy Grail war and seeing the minor power of one decimate his anbu did not ease his mind. It was only through Alcides himself, saying he "would never go against his own morals" did the Hokage lighten up a little, Though he questioned what those Morals were.
Second Alcides didn't trust Akuseru even after a few dream sequences of Naruto's memories, The servant did not fully trust the mage, maybe it was due to his previous master or Akuseru's command seals. Regardless this created mistake number 2, and by Naruto's account this one was hell, Alcides wanted to train him. it was after the first dream sequences a week ago. He had met up with Akuseru who finished healing to begin the two's daily routine, only this time Alcides added his two cents into the mix.
At first it was minor, giving snide remarks to Akuseru's teaching, or his magecraft such phrases that irked the Mage was. "Interesting style, are you gonna 'fight' your way to the ball?", "Am I watching Just dance", or his favorite "Fakermesh, Fakemiya". It then turned bigger with Alcides taking Naruto after training, Teaching him the ancient Greek fighting pankration, or pushing Akuseru's training aside for his. This led to the two arguing About how Naruto should be trained, and who takes charge. Naruto not wanting the two to fight tried to interfere,only to get his ass handed to him by both of them, and seeing how they both dealt with the boy caused an evil glint to appear in Akuseru's eye's and a sinister laugh from Alcides.
this led to a Long Horrible week of training where half of the day was spent with Akuseru and the other half with Alcides, sometimes the whole day together especially on spar's. From this Naruto had learned a lot more, Despite supplying Alcides with Magic, Naruto still has High reserve's. His chakra control was at least low Jonin, He had begun the Advance level of tracing. Much like Akuseru, Naruto found out he could also Trace noble phantasm's or as he preferred Corrupted phantasm's. Since everything he trace's turns into a corrupted, or demonic version of itself. He was proficient in both Pankration and the Uchiha interceptor fist to the point he could fight Jonin on equal grounds.
Finally mistake Number three. Alcides hates being called Heracles, Naruto unfortunately found this out during training two days ago. While practicing his accuracy Alcides called Naruto over to introduce a new training regimen. "Master we are going to try something new today" Alcides told him getting a confused look. "What are we doing Heracles-sensei?" Such a simple question the blond thought at the time,his response was a wave of Killing intent sent his way. Fight or flight fought and Flight won, Running as fast as his legs could go Naruto Soon added dodging to the mix as Alcides unleashed Arrow after arrow at the blond, Not bothering to Restrain his power.
This was proven when arrows would zip by Naruto quickly some ripping his clothing or cutting his skin as they grazed him. "The lesson you brat Is Dodge!" Akuseru stood by He would have stopped this if it was anyone else, but after a considerate thought he likes his life thank you very much. "Why~ Heracl-AH!", Quickly rolling out of the way from an arrow that was aimed for his mouth Naruto proceeded to run faster adding Kurama's chakra to his feet, since Kurama would die too from Naruto uttering Alcides divine Name. "Suffer for your crimes!", the servant Yelled launching another volley of arrows at his Master.
Since that Day mentioning of or referring to Alcides as Heracles was a landmine of all taboos. But for now he was waiting on Iruka-sensei to arrive and hopefully give him competent teammates. Fearing getting put on a team with Sakura or Ino, In this Alcides Snickers at his Master. That was until The said girls in question arrived in screaming they're very lungs out. it took everything in Alcides not to Shut them up or at very least Bang his head on the wall, 'Curse C rank Valor!'.
Meanwhile Akuseru thought back to that Day when Archer and Saber were summoned, and stared at his command seals. 3 pairs of demonic eyes each held by a chain connecting to what appears to be a Cross. He knew The Grail war would begin, He felt the warning of another servant being summoned, and he was sure Naruto, Alcides, Isabella (if she wasn't involved) and Saber felt it as well. To him it was unbelievable.the Grail should have been destroyed in the last war, How was it back and why in this world. Why was Naruto and he chosen as masters, Questions such as these and more rain through the mage's head.
But he decided on something, Akuseru Left a note for Naruto, and pulled a strand of his hair out "Zel" fueling the hair with Mana the hair twisted and morphed into a white little bird like creation, giving the bird the note, the familiar creature took off towards Naruto's Direction. Naruto should be at the academy for team placement with Alcides in spirit form. Heading out of his house and activating the seals and bounded field,Akuseru leapt towards the forest carrying a long rectangular box.
