After getting nostalgic, I came up with this idea, hopefully everyone'll like it and someone'll adopt it.
Samurai Fox
Chapter 1
Pilot
Unknown Location
"Long ago, in an distant land, I, Aku, The Shape-shifting Master Of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil, but a foolish Samurai Warrior, wielding a magic sword, stepped forth to oppose me!"
"Before the final blow was struct, I threw open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is LAW, now the fool seeks to return to the past and undo the future that is AKU!"
While the Samurai falls through the portal, something else hits into him, allowing both to fall out the other end of the portal.
"But, due to some unforeseen circumstance, or perhaps, dumb luck, someone else was caught in the portal, who happens to be a ninja from another dimension."
The Samurai was quick to notice the falling individual that was falling with him, as luck would have it the Samurai was quick to grab him, seeing as the person was unconscious and injured to such a degree that it would take some time for him to heal.
Though once the Samurai had placed the young man, who looked no older than 18, on his back, the Samurai was soon to notice the tall buildings and flying cars whizzing by, thus allowing him to jump from one car to another, until he reached the ground safely with his passenger, until he "met" a few people who were talking in a strange language for him, well, for just about anyone really, where he only managed to at least catch one word.
So, after a few words were exchanged, along with the Samurai finding out that Aku was in charge of everything somehow, he first needed to focus on his injured party, though he was a little thankful that the person wasn't awake to hear the group talking in some sort of coded words, he was still somewhat thankful that they pointed him towards a place that could possibly help.
Though as he enters the place wasn't exactly a place for someone to heal in, since the place had loud booming music, so much so that the Samurai had to cover his ears as best as he can while carrying the injured person.
Making his way through the crowd, his eyes soon landed on a lizard-type person, causing him to become shocked at the sight, but unfortunately this upset the person, causing him to punch the Samurai away, hitting the container that was holding the dancing girl behind it, though luckily the Samurai had shifted the injured passenger out of the way before he could hit the container, but again he couldn't help but stare at the strange sight before him, different beings and individuals were in this establishment, with each person being bizarre for the Samurai, even the girl in the container that he had hit was strange, seeing as she had 3 eyes once she moved her hair out of the way.
With that the Samurai rubbed his chin, wanting to ease the pain, while shifting the injured person off his back and out of the way, even though the Samurai tried to apologize for starring, the lizard person wasn't having it and tried to cut the human up, but the Samurai had managed to dodge and cut the lizardman's arm off, causing his friends to get involved as well, thus the group soon began attacking the Samurai.
Though they were no match for him, seeing as he cut their robotic arms off, but once he put his sword away, "(Ahem!) Pardon me fine sir!" He looked around, trying to find the voice, until he felt a tug on his kimono, "Down here!" The voice exclaims, "I was just wondering if you would be so kind as to join us, as we are-!" "TALKING DEMON DOG!?" Unfortunately for the talking dog, the Samurai was shocked and thought the dog was a demon that worked for Aku.
But luckily the dog had managed to calm things down by explaining that he doesn't work for Aku, or wish to harm him, though the Samurai was still a little freaked out by everything, making the dog realize that the man was a stranger in these parts, where the dog then offered him a place in his and his companions booth along with some refreshments and an explanation on what seems to be happening.
Thinking things through, "Very well, let me just grab the injured person that was with me, hopefully your "booth" can help me dress his wounds and help out out as best as I can." The Samurai soon exclaimed.
Hearing this, the dog was quick to agree, "Oh, but of course, better make it quick before some ruffian scarpers off with him."
With that, the Samurai quickly went to the injured stranger, picked him up, though soon noticed the 3 eyed woman was looking at the pair, though she simply smiled and gave a wave, showing that in a way, she was "looking after" the injured person, granted she did it behind her container, but still she kept her eyes on the teen, with the Samurai bowing his head in gratitude and moved himself and the teen towards the booth that the dog had offered.
In The Booth
Though the music was more muffled, they could still hear it, but right now the group were working on helping the injured teen that was with the Samurai, thanks to the waitress that serviced them, though the Samurai was a little put off due to his drink, along with the dogs "drinking" their own drinks.
Soon they began their introduction, after they finished applying first-aid to the teen, with the dogs explaining how they were archaeologists, along with the history of how Aku ended up raising to power, along with explaining how Aku had nearly ruined earth's resources and had ventured into space for more, while also bring evil beings from across the stars to do their own business on earth as well, shocking the Samurai, since never knew about such a thing.
Where he then explains his past, causing the dogs to examine him with a gadget on their nose, pointing out that the Samurai was over 25,000 years old, allowing the swordsman to realize that he was flung into the future.
With the dogs agreeing that time-wormholes were possible, seeing as Aku had pretty much created one for the Samurai to be flung in, "Though there may be a problem, seeing as my injured companion here had "joined" me halfway through the portal, so I have no idea where he came from."
Ruffchild soon began sniffing with the gadget again, "Well, if what you say is true, then this young man must have traveled from another dimension, truly astounding, this means he is a living success of The Theory Of The Multiverse being true!"
Hearing such a thing had confused the Samurai, so the dog explained, "You see my boy, through out the years people have been discussing a possibility of there being different universes, similar to our own, but entirely different to ours, and with it being a multiverse it basically means there would be infinite worlds in such a dimension, where for example, in another plain of existence you could've been a fisherman, or an artist, or quite possible a villain, but like I said, there are infinite possibilities of you being a completely different person."
After hearing this, the Samurai was rubbing his head of hearing such a thing, since trying to think about it was causing him a headache, with the dogs noticing and agreeing that for the time being it was best not to think about such a thing, since it wasn't their area of expertise, though they knew about the Multiverse through comics growing up as kids, but they didn't need to bring that up.
So they soon began explaining their background of wanting to find out what their ancestors did in the past, even though the Samurai already knew what the dogs of the past were like, he decided to let them go through with it, though they then explained about finding gems that have power that Aku took interest in, taking over their dig-site and enslaving them to dig more gems, where they then explained that they want to escape and continue digging in secret for their history.
Soon, after a few seconds of thinking, "I will help you." The Samurai exclaimed in a serious manner.
"So will I!" A unknown voice soon exclaims, catching their attention, though their eyes quickly landed on the injured person that was supposedly unconscious, though before their eyes he was removing his bandages, showing clear, unblemished skin, but what really got their attention were the bright blue eyes filled with unbridled innocence, but a fire that would never go out.
With the Samurai seeing this look and coming to the realization that this young man would stop at nothing to help those in need, having the same eyes of a Samurai, though there was a spark of mischief in them, but that could just be because of the young teen's age.
"U-Um! Well young man, if you're truly sure, but may I ask, when did you wake up?" Ruffchild couldn't help but ask, seeing as the teen was pretty injured, but now he seemed fine.
The teen simply rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment, "Umm, abouta few minutes before ya started bandaging me," The group was shocked at this reveal, "Ye~ah, I'm sorry for the faking, but I needed to know if I was in a safe place or not and if I could trust you guys, ya know!" The teen soon finished.
With them nodding in understanding, "That's quite alright my friend, it is understandable that you would use such a tactic to find out if we had any nefarious intentions involving you." The Samurai replied back.
Soon Ruffchild exclaims, "Well now, it seems we've got 2 people to help us, come along now, we should head to the dig-site."
But as they were leaving, "OH GOOD LORD WE ALMOST FORGOT SOMETHING! Please gentlemen, tell us your names if you would."
The Samurai's mind flashed to the people that pointed him towards the bar, with only one word that he could remember, "They call me, Jack!" He exclaims seriously.
The other person simply looks at the Samurai, now known as Jack, and shrugs his shoulders, "Um, Ye~ah, hi nice ta meet cha, I'm Naruto Uzumaki!" The teen exclaims with a big smile on his face, causing the Samurai to smile slightly as well.
Where Jack soon says, "Ah, Maelstrom of the Whirlpool, a strong and fitting name." With a smile at the end.
Though Naruto quickly exclaims, "FINALLY! Someone gets that my name means Maelstrom and not Fishcakes!" Causing the others to chuckle at the teens exuberance and make their way out of the bar, though when the dogs talk about a rocketship it confused both the teen and Samurai completely, never noticing someone watching them.
Aku's Palace
The spy soon arrived at Aku's palace, just as he had finished his business, with her telling him about the Samurai, where Aku see's Jack with the group, though he becomes confused, "And they boy, do you know who he is!?" He asks in puzzlement.
Hearing this question, the spy was slightly surprised, but replied, "From what I have heard master, he ended up caught halfway through the time portal that you made."
Now this surprised Aku, "WHAT!? A being was caught halfway through the time portal, huh~ I wondered why it took a few seconds longer for my portal to close, I just figured it was a delay due to my weakened state," He mumbles to himself, though quickly looks towards his spy, "Well, who is this boy, seeing as I know the Samurai but not the boy." He orders.
The spy quickly states, "Forgive me my lord, but I only managed to catch his name, and how the Multiverse may be real because of him."
Though Aku knew about the Multiverse, he decided to leave it alone, seeing as he's quite pleased with running things in the universe he was already in and everything, "That's fine, I have no desire for ruling the Multiverse, it would cause me too much of a headache to run such a place, so for now, tell me the boy's name." He orders.
The spy simply states, "He calls himself, Naruto Uzumaki."
Aku soon began to laugh, "HA! HA! HAAAAA! What a ridiculous name that the boy has, to be named after a Fishcake is downright embarrassing!"
Though the spy quickly coughed, gaining the Dark Lord's attention, "Um, actually, my Lord, the Samurai stated that the teen's name meant The Maelstrom Of The Whirlpool, sir."
Hearing this, "Ohhhh! Yes! That makes much more sense, but while facing the Samurai, I will be calling the teen Fishcakes while battling, it won't be on his wanted posters since I may be a Dark Lord, but even I know such a thing would be going too far, yes, I can see it in the boy's eyes, he is going to be a thorn in my side, just like the Samurai and his accursed sword." With that, Aku paid the spy a good amount and let her leave.
Soon he began talking to himself, "Yes while may years have passed that day, and now my formidable foe, you will pay for my pain in the past, with your pain in the future! Along with your new companion! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" He began laughing, while a large amount of robot beetles began scurrying towards their objective.
With Naruto and Jack
Both Naruto and Jack were fearful at the speed they were going, with Naruto somehow managing to tell the group of his history of being a ninja in his village, though Jack was slightly hesitant at being in the same transport with a ninja, he soon found out that Naruto wasn't like the ninja he knew of from his past, realizing that the Multiverse theory was playing a part in such a thing, with Jack also managing to explain his own past and how he ended up in this time, as well as his training in order to defeat Aku once and for all.
Hearing such training, Naruto soon began getting a little excited, thinking of all the training that Jack went through and everything he learnt, but they soon arrived at the dig-site, though as the two humans try getting out of the transport they soon fell over, not being use to such a travel, though being thankful that they both took their minds off of the flight in order to get to know each other.
Ruffchild was slightly worried at their fall, but the two brushed it off, explaining how they prefer walking, the dogs soon began showing the two around the site, explaining their findings along with the gems, along with the dogs punishments, causing both Jack and Naruto to be shocked at the sight, with Naruto exclaiming, "If Kiba saw this he'd attack Aku, and anyone working for him, relentlessly!" With his eyes narrowed at the sight, along with his eyes flashing red for a moment.
Soon another dog running up to them, telling them about Aku's drones, where they spot the army approaching them in a large a quick fashion, making Naruto and Jack glare at them in anger.
The dogs, Naruto and Jack began planning their defense strategy, with the dogs helping Naruto out by giving him some new clothes and armor, along with a few simple throwing knives, since he didn't have many weapons on him, along with the dogs making him a simple sword for now, "I'm afraid that sword is the best we could do at the time, since we are only archaeologists after all."
Naruto looks at the blade, giving it a few test swings, "Hmm, I guess it should do for now, I might not be a weapon expert like my friend Ten-ten is, but I think I can figure it out along the way."
While he may not have much training in weapons, he at least have a slight understanding of them, though hearing this, Jack became concerned for his new friend, Naruto though didn't catch the look since he was too busy familiarizing himself with the temporary weapon in hand.
Soon they began construction of their defenses, along with using the equipment that was on hand, with Jack fashioning some weapons from the gems as well, along with Naruto helping, though while he wished he could use his clones to help out, unfortunately he still wasn't at 100% yet, seeing as he needed time to recharge his chakra, as well as the tailed beasts chakra inside him needing to be recharged as well, "Stupid Akatsuki! Stupid Fourth Shinobi War! Stupid Madara! Kaguya! But most of all, STUPID SASUKE! Ya just had ta be an idiot and try fighting me one last time after we just finished the war..."
Soon Naruto began ranting inside his head about what had happened to him, while helping Jack and the dogs out as best as he can, seeing as he was running low on chakra for the time being, meaning he needs time to recover, granted he may have physically recovered, but chakra-wise, he still needs more time, hence the reason why he's helping out in such a way.
They then began preparing even more traps and other things that could either slow the drones down or destroy them.
While also fashioning Jack some armor as well as the horse-like creature, along with Jack making a flag for them, though a couple of dogs walked on it, putting their paw-prints on it, seeing this, Jack realized that it seemed to work for their cause, "Um, Naruto, could you come here for a moment please!" He calls out to the ninja.
With the blond heading towards him, noticing the flag and the marks on it, "Naruto, if you would, could you please put your family mark on the flag as well."
Naruto looks towards Jack in shock, a Samurai willing to work with a Ninja was pretty unheard of, but seeing as they had the same goal, "I would be honored Jack." With that, Naruto took the Calligraphy pen from Jack, then drew the Uzumaki Spiral on to the flag as well.
Seeing the Spiral next to his own family mark, Jack simply smiled, "Thank you my friend, may our family look down on us in pride and luck in our battle that is about to come." With Naruto nodding in agreement.
It was the next day, everything was ready, with a dog yelling to take cover, thus allowing Naruto and Jack to jump over the dog, with Jack riding the horse-like creature, while Naruto runs beside him, managing to keep up with the creature, with the flag waving behind Jack on the creature.
Before long, the traps were going off, with both Jack and Naruto setting them off, destroying some of the drones as best as they can, the drones soon stood up, their scythe-like blades glistening in the sunlight.
Each one aiming to take Jack and Naruto's heads off, but both Naruto and Jack were doing their best at defending themselves, both slicing and chopping the drones apart, with both being glad that the drones were just robots and not living beings.
"CCRRAAAASSSSHHHHH!~~~"
That is until Naruto's sword broke, looking at the broken blade, "Well, it was only a temporary weapon, hmm, OH! That could work." Quickly ducking and dodging, Naruto had managed to acquire a scythe from one of the destroyed robots, using it to slice the other bots apart, "It might not be a sword, but it'll do for now." He then finishes, charging back into the fighting.
Unfortunately one of the bots had managed to knock Jack of his ride, but soon both Naruto and Jack were back-to-back, "Well, we certainly got their attention." Naruto spoke to Jack.
"Yes, but it's a shame that their attention is on us." He replied back with a smile towards Naruto, with Naruto smiling back, since he knew what that meant.
They both jumped into the fray, both slicing and dicing the robots apart, proving that what they said was true, because of the robots attention on them, the robots were gonna be nothing but scrap metal, with the dogs being kept out of it thankfully.
Though unfortunately, Jack and Naruto's armor was being sliced off bit by bit, along with Naruto's scythe-blade being chipped away, but luckily there was plenty of robot parts for him to use along the way, but there was still quite a horde of them left, so Naruto and Jack continued to slice the bots apart.
But having no choice, and Naruto cursing his luck of not being able to use his chakra because of his chakra-exhaustion, they 2 rushed back to the traps, going into hiding until they were sprung, while using the traps along the way, with the drones chasing them, while a lot of them fall for the pitfall and spikes, the rest just carried on after the pit was filled.
With that, both Naruto and Jack were surrounded, with Naruto managing to get a "new" scythe to use, they then began attacking, swiping and slashing along the way, at one point both their clothes began getting ruined, along with both getting some cuts and getting covered in oil, until they both finally came out on top of the drones in victory.
Soon the dogs were grateful at both of their help, offering them a place for them, but Jack refuses, stating that his mission still needs to continue in stopping Aku once and for all.
Naruto was walking next to Jack, catching the man's attention, "Why are you following me Naruto, surely you can find your own path once you've regain your chakra as you call it."
Naruto smiles at the black covered man, "As far as I can tell, you're gonna need all the help you can get in stopping this demon, and I have handled a few demons myself," He tells Jack in a joking manner, causing the man to smile at the atmosphere lighting up because of Naruto, "Besides, it may be fun to journey with across this place and figure things out along the way, who knows, I might find my own weapon along the way as well!"
Hearing this Jack smiles, "Yes, that does sound nice, though I wonder, would you like to be my student, since after seeing your fighting skills, I can see you are sorely lacking in some areas."
Now Naruto understands that he didn't have as much skill as Jack, or the others back home, and while he did feel somewhat insulted, he understood that he could use some help in his training, but really what happened was, "REALLY! OH THIS IS GONNA BE SOOO AWESOME! I GET TA TRAIN WITH A SAMURAI! OHH~ I CAN'T WAIT TO FIND MY OWN SWORD TO FIGHT WITH!"
Jack simply laughed at the young man's exuberance, it brought a feeling of lightness to everything, "Yes! Yes! Naruto! I understand your excitement, please, try and control yourself!" He couldn't help but exclaim.
Catching Naruto's attention, who ended up rubbing the back of his neck in embarrassment, "Sorry Jack, I guess I got a little excited."
Jack smiled, "I take it, that you agree to be my student then." He knew this wasn't a question, since Naruto was obviously happy about someone teaching him things, but no doubt during their journey they'll also learn a few things from their new environment as well.
Naruto paused and looks towards Jack, "Yes, I would be honored to have a Sensei such as you to teach me in our travel together." Here both bow to each other, along with shaking each other's hand, showing that they have become student and teacher.
Aku's Lair
While this was happening, Aku was watching the pair become a teacher and student, being angry that such an outcome would happen.
"BAH! He is stronger than I remember, not to mention that I've underestimated that teen with him, but no matter, for you see little Samurai, the world is MINE! My eyes and ears are everywhere. nothing you and your student do will go unseen. Quest as you may, but we will meet again when I see fit. In a time and place of my choosing. And it is I who shall put an end the war started in that age long passed, Samurai Jack. I will also capture and figure out how your new student had crossed over into our universe, with each test being as painful as I see fit, seeing as he's become your student, he will be in such pain after your defeat! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"
All the while Aku watches the two travel, with both cleaning up after their battle, along with getting new outfits, with Jack's being his usual kimono, while Naruto's outfit was some army boots, black jeans, a muscle-shirt and a leather jacket. A.N. Naruto's outfit will be up to whoever adopts.)
The End.
There you have it, Naruto ending up in Jack's Universe and became his student, learning the ways of the sword, along with how an Aku-infested world works.
But for Naruto's weapon, I can see him gaining the sword, Alastor, from Devil May Cry, seeing as he has a "compatibility" with lightning and everything, along with it being a demon sword that not even Aku can use, but due to it's lightning it can hurt him.
As for the pairing(s) I'll leave that up to whoever adopts, though I can see Naruto having a few "flings" with a couple of girls along the way, even the bounty hunter girls while traveling.
Though come Season 5, I can see Naruto and Jack having a falling out, mostly because of Jack's frustration at all the time portals being destroyed on earth, with Jack's frustration making him saying something truly hurtful towards Naruto that caused them to split up.
Where Naruto has a run-in with half of Aku's daughters, since they'd split up wanting to kill Jack and Naruto, with Naruto managing to catch them alive and show them the truth about Aku, while not realizing that the girls had fallen for Naruto.
Also, Naruto's aging would stop, like Jack's, only it would stop when Naruto reaches 26, seeing as Naruto traveled through the time portal half way, while Jack traveled completely through it.
But I can also see Naruto being on good terms with the Scotsman, to the point that the Scotsman offers one of his daughter's to Naruto, with Naruto seeing how many there are states that the old man must've been too busy to fight. lol
I Do Not Own Naruto Or Samurai Jack.
