Naruto: On to the reviews, then.

Chapter 1: Dodomon

"I'm sorry, but I've never seen an egg anywhere like this before." Hana said as she examined the large egg.

"Oh. I see." Naruto said disappointedly.

You might be wondering what's going on, well, yesterday had started out like any other, Naruto got up from bed and ate breakfast, but just then Shikamaru came at his door and said that Sasuke had left the village. So together with Shikamaru, Choji, Neji and Kiba, Naruto set out to bring Sasuke back, and after a long and hard battle, he succeeded, but then the council decided to banish the boy. After he left the village however, he found a weird egg in the woods and wondering what it was, he decided to take it with him. Shortly afterwards though, he ran into Kiba's older sister and heiress of the Inuzuka clan, Inuzuka Hana who was on her way back from a mission. Kiba had once told Naruto that Hana was a veterinarian, so he hoped that she might know what animal the egg belonged to.

"Well, I gotta get back to the village." Hana said as she gave the egg back to Naruto and stood up on her feet "But you must remember that when the egg hatches, whatever creature's inside, you must give it your full attention."

She then shunshined away, leaving Naruto alone with the egg, and said goggle-wearing ex-Genin decided to continue walking.

"So, egg, where should we go?" Naruto asked as he walked "Oh. I know, what about Tazuna-san's place?" He then thought for a minute and rather decided against it "No, but what about ka-chan's old village!"

"Wherever that is." He muttered before letting out a heavy sigh.

As he walked, he didn't realize that he was being followed by two missing-nins. They were the two Chunin-level Oni-brothers. Two ninja formerly of Kiri who were also the first ninja that team 7 ever faced.

They quickly and stealthily jumped down from the trees and rushed at the blond, and he wouldn't have much time to escape, cause he'd only get a single warning.

"One little piggy." Naruto's eyes widened as he not only recognized the phrase, but also the voice.

The oni-brothers quickly ran around him as the chain that connected their gauntlets came around Naruto as well as the egg he was holding. As the two missing-nins pulled on the chain to cut up the kid however, Naruto turned into a log which was cut up in his place.

'NANI?' One of the two thought before they sensed a presence above them and they looked up to see Naruto standing on a branch.

"How are you guys here? I thought you were supposed to have been picked up by some ANBU and sent to prison." Naruto said.

"We were, but no prison can hold us in for very long." One of the two said.

"Hmmm… I see. So you escaped." Naruto said.

"Yes. And now we're gonna take revenge for the death of our master Momochi Zabuza-sama." One of the two said.

"Well, you're attacking the wrong guy. I'm not the one who killed him. The ones you should really go after would have to be the remnants of Gato's thugs." Naruto said.

"Gato's thugs? Hah, don't make me laugh, those fools wouldn't stand a chance against someone like Zabuza-sama." One of the two said.

"Well, he was badly injured after his fight with Kakashi-sensei, that might have something to do with how he lost." Naruto said.

"Enough with your lies. You're Uzumaki Naruto, aren't you?" One of the two asked.

"Yes I am, why?" Naruto asked.

"You're the one they named that bridge after, you've got to be the one who defeated Zabuza-sama!" One of the two said. (Kurama no Kyubi: At least that makes more sense than Mei, Ao and Chojuro believing it was Sasuke.)

"They named the bridge after me? Guess I must have made a bigger impact there than I thought." Naruto said mostly to himself.

"Enough chit-chat, let's get this over with already!" One of the two said.

"Hmmm… Okay." Naruto said before jumping down and putting the egg down by the side of the tree.

As Naruto was putting down the egg however, the oni-brothers used this opportunity to charge at him. But as they passed Naruto, said blond drew the sword that Tenten had given him and he attempted to block the chain, but he was surprised when the chain, not only were blocked, but the sword cut right through it.

"Whoa. This sword's sharp." Naruto muttered to himself before the oni-brothers went for plan-B and attempted to strike the blond with their poison-covered gauntlets, but Naruto made a quick shunshin and they hit eachother instead.

"NO. We've been poisoned instead!" One of them said before they turned to Naruto "You…"

They then fell down from the poison, apparently they had gotten a new poison for their gauntlets, one that would take effect much quicker, not even giving them enough time to reach for the antidote.

"That was easier than I thought it'd be. Oh, well. At least they won't bother me anymore." Naruto said before picking up the egg and continuing on his way.

3 days later

It had been three days since Naruto's banishment and he had gotten out of the Land of Fire and was now currently in the Land of Hot-Springs also known as the Land of Steam due to its local ninja village.

Naruto was walking through a village at the country's eastern shore, he had long since decided to put the egg inside a sealing scroll instead of carrying it around all the time. He then came down to the shore and noticed an island that was a ways out in the ocean and he turned to an old man who was standing near him.

"Hey, mister. What's that island out there?" He asked.

"Oh, that's the Land of Whirlpools, there used to be a village there, but now no one lives there." The man said. (Kurama no Kyubi: I actually find it weird that the canon name of the island is "Land of Eddies" yet in every fanfic I've read it's been "Land of Whirlpools".)

'The Land of Whirlpools? That's where ka-chan's village is!' Naruto thought before asking "Is there any way over there?"

"No. Boats stopped going to the island a long time ago." The man said.

"Excuse me, did you say you wanted to go to Whirlpools?" Naruto turned to the voice to see a man with shoulder-length red hair and he had three scars over his left eye.

"Ummm… Yes, mister. But there's no boats going there." Naruto said.

"Then why don't I take you to the island?" The man asked.

"Arigato! I'm Uzumaki Naruto, by the way. What about you?" Naruto said.

"People call me "Red-Haired" Shanks." The man, now identified as Shanks said.

Later, Shank's pirate ship

"So you guys are pirates?" Naruto asked as he and Shanks stood on the deck, looking out over the sea.

"That's right. And you're a ninja, right?" Shanks said.

"Not anymore." Naruto said in a sad tone as he looked at the Hitai-ate which he had wrapped around his right bicep.

"Banished, huh?" Shanks asked.

"Yeah… Wait how did you know?" Naruto asked as he looked at Shanks.

"It's written all over your face." He said.

"Say, have you ever been banished from your home village?" Naruto asked, but Shanks shook his head.

"No, my village was destroyed a long time ago." He said.

"Oh. Sorry…" Naruto said.

"Don't be. It's not your fault that it was destroyed." Shanks said.

"We're approaching the island, cap'n!" The ship's helmsman called out.

Land of Whirlpools, shore

"Bye, Naruto. This is where we part ways." Shanks said as he looked down at Naruto who was standing on the shore.

"Do you think we'll see each other again?" Naruto asked.

"Who knows? Maybe." Shanks said before the ship set sail as he turned around before taking one last glance at Naruto and thinking 'He really is a lot like you, Minato-san, Kushina-nee-chan. You should be proud.'

Naruto turned around and walked into the forest of the island. As he walked, he noted that it was very quiet, there weren't only humans that didn't live there anymore, but animals and even insects were gone too. After a while the blond finally came out of the forest and saw a sign where it said "Uzushiogakure no sato", and behind the sign were the ruins of a large village.

"This is Uzushio? Ka-chan's home village?" Naruto said as he walked through the destroyed gate and into the village.

Suddenly, he felt his back-pack jump slightly and he opened it before taking out the scroll that contained the weird egg he had found and he quickly bit his thumb, went through several hand signs and slammed his palm down on the open scroll and in a puff of smoke, the egg appeared.

Naruto then noticed that there was a crack on the top of the egg and soon after, it was accommodated by more cracks until the top of the egg eventually shattered and a small purple-furred… head came out.

"DODO!" The head said as it jumped into Naruto's hands.

"Ummm… Hi there… head." Naruto said nervously before he suddenly felt something hard in his hand, and he noted that his hand was where he guessed the creature's rear end to be. He moved his hand away from the creature's butt, hoping that it wasn't what he thought it was, he then breathed a sigh of relief however when he saw that what he had in his hand wasn't what he had feared it was.

It was a small, weird device with a screen in the middle with purple lines around it. (Kurama no Kyubi: It's a D-ark/Tamer-style Digivice.)

'Did I just pull this out of the creature's butt?' Naruto thought with a disgusted expression on his face.

"DODO! DODO! DODO!" The creature kept on saying as it jumped up and down in Naruto's hands.

"Hmmm… Are you hungry?" Naruto asked and the creature nodded.

Suddenly there was a peep from the device and Naruto looked down on it to see that there was an image of the creature on the screen and below the image was the word "Dodomon" and there was also some more information.

"Dodomon? Is that your name?" Naruto asked as he looked at the creature while pocketing the device and the creature nodded.

Shortly after were Naruto and Dodomon sitting in front of their respective meals, Naruto in front of a bowl of ramen, and Dodomon in front of the dog food that Kiba had given Naruto.

"ITADAKIMASU!" Naruto said before he started to eat and he saw that Dodomon was eating the dog food 'Hmmm… seems like I got some good use out of that dog food after all.'

"Excuse me, are you Uzumaki Naruto?" Naruto and Dodomon turned to the voice to see a young blond boy wearing a white t-shirt with the word digital written in kanji on the front and grey pants. He also had the image of eight wings on the back of his t-shirt.

"Yes I am, but who are you? I didn't think there'd be anyone living here." Naruto said.

"Oh, I don't live here, Naruto-san. I came here looking for you." The boy said to Naruto's shock.

Chapter preview

Weird boy "This is called a Xross-Loader. You can store a Digimon's data inside of it, like this." (Brings Dodomon into the Xross-Loader)

Naruto "So this is the Digi-Quartz? Dorimon, you ready to hunt some Digimon?" (Dorimon nods)

Dorulumon "I'll take care of him, Cutemon, get away!"

Greymon "Inferior Digimon, bow before my power!"

Cutemon "Next time on Naruto: Shinobi Hunters: Digi-Quartz."

Dorimon "NARUTO!"

Kurama no Kyubi: Yes, in this story Shanks is an Uzumaki which would explain his red hair. He's also Kushina's younger brother and Naruto's uncle. By the way, you know how all the different Uzumakis have special powers like Kushina's Chakra Chains or Karin's sensory skills, well I were wondering if you guys could come up with some suggestions for what kind of ability Shanks could have. It could either be an already existing Uzumaki ability or you could come up with one yourself. Also in the next chapter will Dorulumon and Cutemon come in, and I was wondering if you think I should make Cutemon a boy or a girl.

Naruto: Other than One Piece, there will be characters here from several shows that is in no way linked to either Naruto or Digimon, so if you want, you can review and make your own suggestions on who we should add.

Kurama no Kyubi: And in case I don't know about the character you're suggesting, remember to mention where the character's from and I'll do a little research.
