Author's note – Kishimoto Masashi owns Naruto while Guyver is written by Yoshiki Takaya.
I make no claim to either, I am merely playing in their sandboxes.

Possible Scenes
Academy
.
Hinata looked around at the other students curiously as she entered the classroom for her first year at the Academy. Although she recognised the other clan-children, the rest were a mystery to her.
Near one side of the room, Ino sat beside a pink-haired girl, both whispering to each other. In the darkest corner sat Shino, communing with his bugs while Shikamaru half-sat, half-lay at his desk, obviously nearly asleep while Choji sat next to him, snacking on a bag of crisps. Kiba shifted in his seat while Sasuke sat by the window, staring out blankly and Hinata felt a brief surge of kinship with him.
After all, both of them had been saved by the actions of the mysterious ANBU known only as Hiro.
While her rescue had been rather low-key with Hiro intercepting the man who had tried to kidnap her, knocking him out and then snapping the ropes that had bound her and carrying her home before departing, his actions against the man who had tried to wipe out the Uchiha clan were the stuff of legends.
Hiro had managed to fight Uchiha Itachi (who had been under forged orders) and the unknown masked Uchiha to a standstill, their weapons bouncing off his armour while the odd beam of light that had issued from the small recess of his helmet-blade had cut off the masked-man's right arm, forcing him to flee into an odd vortex. Itachi himself suffered serious injuries, but was expected to heal.
The planned Uchiha Coup had been abandoned after Hiro bowed deeply to the Hokage (freshly arrived on the scene) before flying off. Realising that the Hokage commanded a warrior like no other, Fugaku had promptly vanished with the Hokage, re-appearing the bext day to announce the transfer of a large number of Uchiha from the police force (to be replaced by Hyuuga, Inuzuka and Aburame shinobi) to the regular forces. In addition, Fugaku became one of the Hokage's new advisors with Hiashi becoming the other, replacing the Hokage's old team-mates (much to their annoyance).
Walking up to Sasuke, Hinata bowed.
"May I sit here?"
Sasuke nodded, staring at her questioningly.
"I am Hyuuga Hinata." She said quietly and his eyes lit up in recognition.
"Hiro saved you as well, didn't he?"
"He did." Hinata confirmed, thinking back to the tall armoured figure who had carried her back to the Hyuuga compound. "He did."
Sasuke nodded. "One day, I will become as strong as him."
Hinata was about to answer when blond hair caught her eye. Looking out of the window, she winced as she saw a young boy being punched out of the sparring ring by a boy two years older.
"Ano… who is that boy?"
"Hmmm?" Sasuke turned to follow her gaze. "I think he's called Nato or something. Half the clan really dislike him, but no-one will tell me why."

Hiruzen Meets Hiro (Armoured Naruto)
.
Hiruzen was stood on the roof of the Hokage mansion, staring out at the dusk with his pipe cupped in one hand, when a movement in the sky caught his attention. As he watched, the flicker of reflected light swelled into a familiar shape, one with a blade on each arm and a blade-like fin on its helmet, a figure which ignored the half-dozen ANBU hidden around him and simply landed far enough away as to be out of immediate striking distance, but close enough that they could talk.
"Hiro, I presume." Hiruzen said politely and the armoured figure gave a deep nod that verged on being a bow.
"Lord Hokage. A pleasant night, is it not?"
.
As he finished his first sentence, Naruto flinched under his mask. Saying it out loud allowed him to realise that it was nowhere near as cool as he had thought it was. He was committed now, though, and he had no choice but to see it through.
.
Hiruzen almost smirked at the self-confidence that the armoured figure showed. No claims of coming in peace or promises of not meaning harm, just a simple comment about the weather with all the subtleties inherent in it that would only be discernable to a Jonin or above. An offer of truce, a statement of lack of hostile intent, notification that if the speaker was attacked then they would strike back without mercy, all wrapped up in six simple words.
"I find it to be so." He replied, half-turning to look across Konoha while still keeping Hiro in his field of vision. Hiro followed suit, resting his open hands on the railings, thus further proving that he had no intention of instigating combat. "I like to remember…"
Hiruzen trailed off, knowing that the ninja (whoever he was) would catch his meaning.
.
Naruto blinked in confusion. Why hadn't the old man finished his sentence? He liked to remember? Remember what?
"…but I doubt that you came simply to enjoy the view with an old man like myself."
"It is different from when it was just me on the Fourth watching over the village." Naruto replied, his mind flashing back to all the times that he had looked across Konoha from the stone head of the one whom, thanks to the records in the base, he now knew to be his father and the one who had sealed the Kyuubi into him.
.
"It is different from when it was just me and the Fourth watching over the village." The armoured figure stated and Hiruzen almost dropped his pipe.
Hiro had served Namikaze Minato!
That explained the Konoha symbol located on the odd disc embedded in his helmet!
No wonder he couldn't find anything on who Hiro was, he had probably been placed into hiding by Minato's order, told to remain hidden unless certain requirements were met…
He had appeared after Naruto had been reassigned from the orphanage.
He had been watching over Naruto!
"You are aware of the burden that Naruto carries." Hiruzen probed cautiously.
.
"…that Naruto carries."
Naruto's eyes widened in shock, then he tried to change the subject. Maybe a comment about the sunset? That was probably random enough.
"The sun…" Naruto trailed off, uncertain of what he was going to say.
.
"The son."
Hiruzen mentally nodded at the proof that Hiro knew about Naruto.
"I understand and I will ensure that he is gifted his inheritance." He said. "However, there will be a problem with storing it somewhere safe…"
Hiro turned to face him.
"Like a secret base?"
"You know of one?"
.
Naruto mentally cursed. What was the old man doing? The statements and questions were totally unanticipatedand now this? Why didn't the old man stick to the script that he had planned, allowing him… to…
Naruto grinned. He could use this. Now… how to phrase it… ah yes!
"In seven days, a base will be made. He will know. He will show you. If you approve, he will use it."
"And how will his move be explained?"
Naruto focused and felt his heat-gem on his head-blade briefly flash.
"I understand." Hiruzen said slowly. "Seven days?"
"He will know by then." Naruto repeated, then he activated his ability to fly and rose into the air, lifting almost to the odd chakra dome that encased Konoha before switching on the odd ability that he had discovered barely a fortnight ago, the ability to fade from sight. Once wrapped in his field of hiding, Naruto flew towards his apartment. He really needed to do some reading on carpentry (so he could put together the pieces of the small house that had once belonged to his father, a house that he had used the notes from the base to find before he emptied and disassembled it) and building, as well as finding new clone techniques. Mizu Bunshin, Iwa Bunshin and Doton Bunshin may be useful for moving things and performing simple tasks (like laying foundations), but he needed something better.
.
Hiruzen watched at the armoured figure flew away, flying through the invisible chakra shield without triggering the alarms, yet another piece of proof that Hiro had truly been a trusted shinobi,one either recruited by or trained by Minato.
Even after Hiro vanished, Hiruzen stared at the stars, lost in memory.
