Authors Note: Hello all, This is my first story, it centers around a group of six. Naruto, Hinata, and four Ocs, as this takes place in Naruto's universe it will involve their teams and those close to them. While I did say it revolved around six protagonists, it's more like just Naruto and the main Oc. This story takes place in an alternate universe and though some cannon events need to take place, it doesn't mean it will be full cannon.
The Pairings in this story, at least the ones decided right now are Naruhina and OC x OC. Other couples I might hold a poll on.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, Final Fantasy, or anything else. I thought up these Original characters to work in any setting. They are only modified for the universe they are in.
Chapter 1: The Legend Begins
There are many tales either spoken about or read throughout the ages, some hidden away and forgotten, some get recovered, while others do not. Our story is one passed throughout generations and it begins in a militaristic village, where shinobi and civilians coexist. Although they coexist you the civilians are under rule of the village's Kage, or shadow. This village is Konohagakure no Sato, or the village hidden in the leaves. It is lead by the Hokage, or fire shadow, and resides in Hi no Kuni or rather fire country.
It is an early October day, the area has started cooling off, villagers and shinobi milling about their daily activities. Though at the gate, unbeknownst to the residents of Konoha, there was a large group coming up to the gates. While most of the group wore hoods, only those leading left themselves exposed to the world.
Those exposed were three people, two women and a man, along with a pig in a red vest. The group behind the trio or rather quartet, considering the pig, all had hooded cloaks to conceal their identity. Usually this would make some weary of the group, however from their body language to the way they seemed to be silent had others think they were refugees.
The lone man of the group was a fair skinned tall man standing six ft and two inches, he had waist length spiky white hair and red lines below his black eyes. He wore a red haori with two gold circles on the front, with green colored kimono shirt and matching pants, black belt, and geta. Underneath his top and pants he wore mesh armor and had hand guards, hanging on his back was a large scroll. This was Jiraiya, the Toad Sage. A man revered throughout the elemental Nations for not only his ninja skills but also his novels. Though the same novels created a notoriety with the women who met the author.
The first of the two females was a brown eyed busty Blond woman that was five feet and thirty-five inches with fair skin, whose hair parted in the front and the back was held in two loose pigtails and has a purple diamond on the center of her forehead. She wore a green haori, with the kanji for gamble on the back in a red circle. She also wears a gray kimono styled shirt with no sleeves, it is held closed by a large blueish gray obi, the top was left partially open to show her cleavage. She wears dark bluish gray pants that matches the obi along with heeled sandals. Also noticeable on her was her red nail polish on her fingers and toes, she also wears a green stone necklace. This is Tsunade Senju, the granddaughter of the first Hokage. She was known to be considered on of the strongest Kunoichi, or female ninja, in the world as well as one of the best medical ninjas alive. She unfortunately was also known less commonly to love to drink and gamble.
The second woman looked slightly younger woman of five feet and five inches and slender build, she had black straight hair along with black eyes and also had fair skin. She wears a bluish-black kimono with white trim held closed by a white obi and open-toed sandals with a low heel, mesh armored. This woman was Shizune, known to be the apprentice of Tsunade, right now she was carrying TonTon, the vest wearing pet pig. She puts up with Tsunade's vices and tries to help her overcome her past and bitter loss she has endured in her long life.
As the group arrives to the gates Jiraiya turns to the guards, while waving to the group behind him before saying, "No need to be alarmed, this group is a group of refugees that we happened to find. We need to get to the Hokage to tell him urgent news and the group needs an area to settle and rest from their journey."
Though the guards knew there must be a story behind this group, they also knew the Toad Sage and Tsunade well enough that they admitted the group to enter Konoha. Upon entering citizens, civilians and shinobi alike, stopped and watched two of the sannin and apprentice lead the refugees toward the hokage tower. The crowd was gossiping and muttering sympathies to the refugees as they passed. In this crowd was two children who was watching the refugees, before catching the eyes of two of them, who seemed to be their age since they caught brief glimpses of their faces, who seemed to nod before moving on.
Of these two children, one was a blond haired boy of four feet that was fair skinned with blonde spiky hair and blue eyes. He wore a black t-shirt with a red spiral on the front over a white long sleeved shirt, brown pants and blue sandals. He also had three whisker marks on each cheek. This young boy was named Naruto Uzumaki and he had been watching the gate, having a feeling that today would bring something good in the orphans life.
The other of the two children was a young girl that was slightly taller than Naruto, she stood at four feet and two inches. She was fair skinned with dark blue hair in a short hime cut, she had lavender pupiless eyes and wore black pants with a blue shirt and black sandals. This girl is named Hinata Hyuga. She is the Hyuga heiress and had been following Naruto, the boy who saved her two years ago from bullies. She saw despite the villagers treatment of the boy or how he struggled, Naruto never gave up and kept training and striving to be better. This inspired the young girl and she wanted to be like him and become friends. Even developing a secret crush on the boy, a secret many knew despite not telling anyone. She watched as Naruto seemed to follow the group and decided that she would as well, if only to be able to help Naruto if he ended up in trouble.
Upon arriving at the Hokage tower, the group became two groups. The two groups consisted of the two sannin, the head of the refugees with an advisor, and two kids who knew other information on the events that led to this. This group would meet with the hokage not only to seek asylum, but also to tell their story and alert the leader of the village to the tragedy beyond their borders. The second group was lead by Shizune who reassured the refugees that nothing bad would happen and lead them to a secluded area to give them some privacy and rest. While on the way she flagged down anbu and recruited them to help protect the group, though they doubted it would be needed.
In the Hokage's office the Sandaime Hokage, or third fire shadow, was sitting at his desk doing his paperwork while smoking his trademarked pipe. The sandaime Hokage was an old man with tanned skin and gray hair with a goatee. He has three lines stretching to his cheek and a mole on his nose, he wears the traditional outfit for the hokage, a red full length kimono that is tied with a white obi wears a white haori. His his name was Hiruzen Sarutobi, besides being the third hokage he was also the clan head of the Sarutobi clan. When he finished off writing on a sheet he took a second to breath only to hear a knock on his office door, causing him to look at the door curious to what was going on.
"Enter" Hiruzen said, wanting a distraction from the paperwork that haunted his waking dreams. His secretary entered, his secretary was a slim woman of average height with black hair and brown eyes. She bowed to the hokage before saying, "My apologies Hokage-sama, but your Jiraiya-sama and Tsunade-sama are here with a few people saying that it was of utmost importance that they talk with you as soon as possible."
"I see, interesting" Hiruzen said in contemplation, before nodding and continuing, " please send them in."
"Yes Sandaime-sama", the secretary said before sending the group into the office. As the group gathered, Hiruzen smiled seeing his two beloved students. However the looks on their faces, told him that something dire had happened, despite the small smiles they sent him to let him know they were happy to see him. He looked at the five people that had entered with his two students and could tell that two of them were just kids, since the hooded cloaks covered most of their features he couldn't see them.
"Jiraiya-kun, Tsunade-chan I am glad to see you both. Please tell me what is so troubling and introduce your guests here." Hiruzen asked of his students.
"Sensei, these.." Jiraiya began as he motioned the hooded figures to remove their hoods and he continued when he saw them doing so, "are Gengetsu Hozuki, the grandson after said man who was the second Mizukage. He is joined with his Wife Katsumi Hozuki and their son Shingetsu Hozuki." he started while said family stepped forward to be seen by all.
Gengetsu was a fair skinned man with brown hair and green eyes, he was six foot one. His clothes hidden by the brown cloaks they had traveled in. Meanwhile his wife Katsumi, had brown hair and brown eyes, she was fair skinned and had long hair. Her figure and clothes also hidden by the cloak. Their son Shingetsu was four feet two inches, he was fair skinned and had brown hair and dark green eyes. Shingetsu had moved so his cloak with silver clasps revealed a Dark blue short sleeved Tunic, Mesh armor with another tunic, except this one was a long sleeved green tunic. He had a brown obi and black shinobi pants, with black closed-toed boots.
"While this is Raiden Ringo, Son of Ameyuri Ringo, and his daughter Hikari Ringo." Jiraiya continued motioning to the second family who then stepped forward. Raiden was fair skinned, had short brown hair and brown eyes, and he was six feet tall. He had walked up to Gengetsu and his cloak, like the others so far had covered his clothes. His daughter Hikari stepped up beside Shingetsu and looked nervous. Hikari was fair skinned and was four feet two standing the same height as Shingetsu. She had Long brown hair, that reached to her mid back, and had strikingly crimson eyes, which although he could see the anxiety, could tell she wasn't afraid. Her cloak was opened and like Shingetsu, her cloak had silver clasps, underneath she wore dual tunics with mesh armor between, the top tunic which was sleeveless is green and the the long sleeved tunic under the mesh armor was Dark Blue, with a red belt and black shinobi pants and black closed-toe boots.
"Sarutobi-sensei, they have come here with dire news." Tsunade finished for Jiraiya, wanting to move this along. Jiraiya wanted to pout, but he knew that this group wouldn't react well to it, as if he would make light of this situation. He wasn't an idiot and he wasn't heartless.
"Very well, please tell me the news Gengetsu-san, and if I may I will help in anyway I can." Hiruzen stated with an encouraging smile directed towards said man, who nodded. Gengetsu took a calming breath and organized his thoughts one final time.
"Hokage-sama, as I am sure you have heard, Kiri is in the middle of a civil war." Gengetsu started and continued when he saw the Hokage nod, "However that is not the truth of the matter. It is not merely a civil war, but rather a blood-line purge." Gengetsu let the bomb drop and saw the shocked and horrified look appear on the aged Hokage's face.
