Been a long, long, long, long, did I mention long, time since I did this one, but it is only a pet project so I guess it is understandable.

So here we have it, the start of Naruko's journey.

Begin!

0

It had been ten years, ten years of friendships, intense training, tests of one's heart, and much more.

Naruko, now the tender age of 14, walked the long white corridors that had pulsating chains with the multiple Keyblade Master symbols etched on the walls of the corridor.

She was wearing a blue short-sleeve formfitting shirt with a black sleeveless tunic with artistic silver curves etched into it and the Uzumaki spiral on the back of it. She wore a blue skirt, a white hip pouch, and black stockings that went up to her mid-thigh. For footwear; she wore metal boots that had tri-prong blades jetting from the back of them on the outer side of her feet. Finally, she wore an armored plate on her shoulder that was blue and had a yellow button on it for her Keyblade armor.

As she continued walking, two people started to walk behind her.

"So, you're ready for this?" asked a concerned male voice. It was her father Namikaze Minato who was wearing his Hokage outfit.

"Of course she is! We taught her after all." The confident female voice of her mother Uzumaki Kushina said as she smiled at her baby girl.

Master Yen Sid had found the connection of her parents lingering chakra in her seal while investigating it. With his immense wisdom, he rearranged the seal slightly and aligned her parent's lingering chakra to her own so they could continue to exist by siphoning off hers. They could even come out into the real world, but could sadly not interact with the environment or even herself.

At least they could in her mind.

With her parents, they had explained what had happened to them while she in turn explained how she lived before she left Konoha. To say they were furious was an understatement. They asked what happened with Jiraiya, her godfather apparently; she didn't know who he was. They questioned why the Sandaime revealed her status as a Jinchuuriki, something they had to explain to her. She had somewhat accepted it, but she did yell at her father for doing that to her.

They had a rough start to say the least.

After they had a heart to heart, Minato and Naruko made up and both parents started to teach her about chakra along with her Keyblade training.

They had been surprised about what a Keyblade was along with the honor and duty that came with it. Kushina was of course so proud and shouted that her baby was the best, but Minato was a bit depressed, wishing she became a Kunoichi of Konoha, but supported her none the less…after Kushina beat him up a bit~

She learned about Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, Kenjutsu, Fuinjutsu, Spells, and more.

Every second of every day was intense, but she prevailed in her training and became strong.

As she walked down the hall of her mindscape, she stepped in front of a metal door with the kanji for seal on a piece of paper that was over the lock.

"Good luck." Her parents said with a smile as they faded from sight and she looked up to the being in the cage.

"Well well well, if it isn't the little girl, finally coming to see if you can control me?" The Kyuubi question snidely.

She had met the Kyuubi once before and she held no ill will towards the being, she was more along the lines of curious as to what he was.

The only reason why the Kyuubi was not hostile, well more hostile then his usual snide remarks was that she was a Keybearer, something that the Rikudou Sennin was.

That had shocked the girl greatly, to think the founder of chakra was a Keyblade Master.

It was only the fact that Naruko had gained a Keyblade, thus proving her heart, that the fox stated she couldn't be as bad as the rest of humanity.

But the fox would still watch her if she ever faltered.

Naruko shook her head, "I only wish to battle with you Kyuubi and I will only use your chakra if you allow me to." She said as she held respect for the tailed beast.

Kyuubi looked unconvinced at this and watched as Naruko ripped off the seal and pointed her Keyblade at the lock.

Her father could have unlocked the seal with a bit of time to help her make a second key, but in her opinion this was far easier no matter how amazing it would be to see such a great feat of Fuinjutsu.

A beam fired from the tip of her Star Seeker Keyblade and it hit the lock, thus unlocking it.

"Let the games begin." Naruko muttered to herself as Kyuubi slammed opened the cage and charged a Bijudama in his mouth and fired it as a beam at the blonde.

As the beam came at her, Naruko immediately summoned a Barrier around her. The blast sent her reeling back to the edge of the room, but her defense held true and protected her.

As she dropped her Barrier, she rushed at the Biju while launching a Triple Blizzaga, but the large fox brushed off the damage as he lashed out with one of his claws.

With a quick Doubleflight, she double jumped over the threatening claw and landed on the extended arm.

In a second, Naruko ran up the arm, "Thundaga!" she chanted as she fired multiple lightning attacks at the Biju.

"Gah!" Kyuubi grunted from the lightning fired at his eyes.

As she continued to fire the lightning, her form then brightened by being covered in lightning.

"Thunder Bolt!" she announced as she fired more and more lightning along the body of the Biju, until he bucked, and sent her in the air.

"Wahh!" Naruko shouted as she started to fall back to the group, with the maw of the Kyuubi opened wide to devour her.

Just as she fell in and the Biju closing his mouth, he felt it hard to close.

"Not today!" Naruko shouted as she made a large Barrier at the last second, thankfully it was far too big for the Kyuubi to swallow.

"Burst!" Naruko commanded and her barrier shattered in a Counter Blast, which opened the maw wide.

Landing on the tongue of the beast with chakra, she ran out just as he closed his jaw with an audible snap, but missed her by the skin of his teeth, literally. Naruko lashed out a lightning covered boot right into the muzzle of Kyuubi, getting him to move back at the snap of his nose.

In mid-fall, Naruko pointed her Star Seeker at the Kyuubi, "Firaga!" she chanted as she fired several large fireballs at his face.

"That's getting annoying, Naruko!" Kyuubi shouted as batted the fireballs away with his paw, and lashed it out at Naruko.

Time moved to a crawl as the attack was an inch away from Naruko, but the blonde smirked.

"Teleport."

And then she was gone.

"Really, really annoying." The Biju grumbled loudly.

But he yelped at the stab of his rear and turned sharply around with a leap and his landing made a tremor on the battle field.

He saw Naruko wielding a large violet aura longsword that covered her Keyblade and it was twice the size of her body!

Keyblade magic was just ridiculously broken.

"Blade Charge." She stated as she crouched down and launched herself with a wide swing.

Kyuubi jumped back and fired another Bijudama as he landed, but Naruko did a few Cartwheels to avoid it.

Kyuubi fired a Bijudama into the air and it separated while raining down on Naruko. The blonde danced around the falling chakra blasts as she used her Blade Charge to swat a few back at the Biju, who flicked them away with his tails.

Speaking of tails.

Naruko jumped back as one by one, Kyuubi's tails rained down in order to stab her with them.

"Wahh~ that was a bit scary." She muttered as she used Shunshin-(Body Flicker), to get right under the beast and began to spin the extended blade of her Blade Charge at Kyuubi's back legs, and slammed down once more, making a shockwave of energy causing the blade to return to normal.

"RAHH!" Kyuubi shouted as it jumped around and swatted Naruko with his front left paw.

"Ouff." Naruko grunted as the blow connected, but she countered with a Payback Surge which covered her in a barrier as she tackled the Biju in the face.

Naruko back flipped of her opponent's nose and landed on the ground, but back flipped a few more times as the stabbing tails came once more. After getting some distance, Naruko surrounded herself with blade-like energy beams and the area around her started glowing with light. She fired the blade-like beams at the Kyuubi who tried to dodge them, but they were homed in on him.

Naruko surrounded herself again with the blade-like beams and jumped in the air, "Haa!" she shouted as she sent them into the ground, causing 4 pillars of fire to rise and blaze towards the Kyuubi.

Kyuubi countered by swiping his claw, making several claw-like blades run through the ground as they canceled out the pillars of fire.

"Pearl!" Naruko shouted as she fired several balls of pure light at the Kyuubi, making him hiss in pain.

"Now! Kage Bunshin no Jutsu-(Shadow Clone Technique)!" Naruko said as she made several clones and they fired chains of light towards the Kyuubi and latched onto him.

"Pull!"

The clones did and began to pullout the Kyuubi's chakra.

"Did you truly think it would be that easy? You can't handle all my hate, Naruko!" He shouted as malice red chakra ran down the lines of blue chakra and tired to travel down the chains, but faltered from there and scurried back to the Kyuubi, "What? How?!" He shouted in disbelief.

"True, I may not be able to contain your malice Kyuubi, but, that is if I were alone." Naruko said as she closed her eyes and her figure began to glow with Holy power.

"Gah!" Kyuubi shouted as he covered his eyes with one of his arms, that light…so bright, so pure.

This…It was almost like the old man's presence.

Could she…could she be the one?

The one he spoke of.

One by one, figures of people began to stand side by side with Naruko.

Both Minato and Kushina smiling as they flanked her left with Kushina resting a hand on her shoulder.

Aqua with her hand on her other shoulder, Ventus giving her a thumbs up, Terra crossing his arms giving her a solid nod, and Eraqus nodding to her as well as they flanked her right.

Donald and Goofy jumping behind her while Max was giving her two thumbs up.

Yen Sid standing a bit further back, but nodding with a small smile.

Chip and Dale running by her feet.

Huey, Duey, and Luey also running by her feet as they waved at her.

Mickey and Minnie standing in front of her with kind smiles pointed towards her.

Even old man Hokage was standing by Yen Sid giving her a nod of support.

"But that's just it, I'm never alone Kyuubi. Each and everyone I care for is here, in my heart. And as long as they are, my light will never lose to your malice and hatred!" Naruko declared as she held out her left palm and swirling blue energy, but her glowing form began to transfer to the spiraling ball.

As it finished, the ball of light floated firmly in her palm and she rushed forward.

"Rasen-(Spiraling)!" She shouted as she pulled her left arm back.

"Hikari-(Light)!" she finished as she slammed her palm into the belly of the beast.

After a few seconds of it grinding, the sphere grew larger and larger as it pushed the Kyuubi back more and more until it was the very size of him.

"Go!" Naruko shouted and she pushed even more, snapping Kyuubi from his chakra and sending him hurling into the back of the chamber.

The chakra slowly flew into the seal on her stomach, causing her to transform.

Her form was covered in a golden flickering flame chakra shroud with six black magatama around her neck with a swirl design that resembles the Uzumaki clan's symbol. The color of her eyes changed from blue to orange.

Naruko gazed at her hands and placed her palm on her stomach, giving it a good twist, closing the cage on Kyuubi.

"I promise." She murmured, "I won't abuse this, that I promise you…Kyuubi." She said as she looked at the Biju with a small smile as he looked back at her impassively and said nothing.

Naruko took that as an 'I understand' and turned to leave, vanishing from the chamber.

'Old man…I think I found the one. Hee, maybe, just maybe, being sealed in this girl wasn't such a bad thing after all.' Kyuubi thought to himself as he laid down and rested his head in his arms.

Naruko opened her eyes to see Master Yen Sid with his hands expanded as they formed the barrier around her, just in case she had lost.

Yen Sid looked at her and nodded as he took down the barrier and folded his arms into his sleeves, "I take it you were successful." He stated as it wasn't really a question since she was there.

Naruko gave a silent nod.

"Good. Now, meet me in my study in one hour. I have a mission for you." He stated as he walked out of the room with a dramatic flair of his robe.

Naruko's face lit up at the thought of a mission, her first mission as a Keybearer no less!

This was going to be great!

Naruko returned to her room and opened the door as she smiled at her little world in the tower.

The room was big, much like the one in the Land of Departure. The walls were painted in moons going through various cycles and stars along with a bit of magic of her own design to make them move slowly around the room. Her bed was big and fluffy, just as she liked it and had various bookshelves carrying many tomes of magic and history…along with a few cook books and a romance novel or two.

It was her mother's idea; it wasn't like she read them or anything!

She had a corkboard on the wall with a good number of pictures of her friends and special events from Disney Castle. There was her good friend Max, who had just recently become a Squire under his father's, Goofy, command along with Huey, Duey, and Luey. Donald Duck, the Court Wizard and Goofy, the Knight Captain, as they hung out and played with her in her younger days.

Her majesty, Queen Minnie Mouse and her duchess Daisy Duck teaching her etiquette and scolding her for being covered in cake that one time during her party, well it was mostly Daisy doing the scolding. Also that one time she tried to learn more about Gummi Ship technology from Chip and Dale, but failed miserably if the oil and smock stains on her are any indication. Finally, her times playing with the royal dog, Pluto. Along with moments of her mentoring under her sempai, King Mickey Mouse.

Even her parents in their spectral forms were in a few for her birthday and other such events that were special to her.

Really, those times never could stop bring a smile to her face. She was such a rowdy girl back then, but she grew up and had now become a Keyblade Apprentice, hoping to finally enter the realm of Mastery.

After checking her supplies of kunai, Shuriken, and other essentials that were in her magical infinite space hip pouch, a Master Yen Sid custom made product where you can merely store something and only have to think of the object in the pouch you want. Her parents were very envious of the pouch since they wished they had something like that when they were alive; it was much more effective than sealing something away.

She waited around a bit and headed to her Master's study when it was time.

She stood up straight like a soldier waiting a commanded as Yen Sid sat on his chair looking at the stars outside his window and waved his hand so she may stand at ease.

"Many worlds have blinked out recently my young Apprentice, Mickey has already noticed this and set forth to do what he can." The wise wizard said as he turned his chair around to face the blonde with his ever stern face, "He has tasked Donald and Goofy to seek out another Keybearer as both he and I fear that we will need as many as we can find." He stated as Naruko nodded to this, "I think it would be best if you catch up to them and assist this Keybearer in the knowledge that goes with the Keyblade, but you will also assist in fending back the Heartless, as there is no doubt that Mickey is trying to find a way to do this as well."

Naruko nodded and bowed her head, "At once Master Yen Sid." She said as she turned to leave, but stopped short and turned back sheepishly, "Um, perhaps my most wonderful Master would like to give me a starting place for my search?" she asked as her cheeks turned a slight shade of pink.

Yen Sid gave a small humorous smile, "I was about to tell you when you started to leave." He stated as her cheeks turned red now, "A good starting point would be Traverse Town. I have already opened the Lanes Between." He supplied and Naruko nodded as she turned around once more.

"One more thing." The old Master said, gaining his Apprentice's attention, "This is your test." He stated.

Naruko blinked, "My, my what?" she asked in shock.

"This journey will be your Mark of Mastery exam." He merely stated, "Just as your senior, you will travel through the worlds investigating this crisis we have before us. Whether you pass or fail will be my decision at the end of this journey. I wish you luck my young Apprentice." Yen Sid said with a slight bow of his head.

Naruko was awestruck and nodded numbly as she rigidly walked out of the room and closed the door…before letting out a girly squeal, covered it quickly by clamping her hands over her mouth so not to get into trouble.

"By Kingdom Hearts…my Mark of Mastery exam, it, it's so sudden. I guess it was a pop quiz." She joked lamely to herself and slapped the back of her head for saying something so lame.

'Stop worrying baby, you'll do great! And just think, you'll get to see all kinds of things!' Kushina said in her mind.

'Yes, this will be a very good experience for you Naruko. I also find myself curious of the other worlds out there.' Minato supplied his opinion.

'I, yes, you're right. I'm really excited, I've only been to one other world and that was Disney Castle. This is going to be tough though due to the Heartless, but no one says I can't enjoy this chance at leaving home for a bit.' She thought back with a smile.

She packed all her things, but noticed a small blue journal that held a note, 'Aqua had left this with me, may it help serve you on your journey my young Apprentice. Yen Sid'.

Naruko let a small tear prickle from the corner of her eye as she handled the journal with utmost care and packed. After seeing that she had everything, she headed to the entrance of the tower.

As she exited, she took a calming breath and pointed her Keyblade into the air, firing off a beam of light to open a portal to The Lanes Between.

Naruko threw her Keyblade into the air as it transformed into a glider, similar design of that of her Master's.

With that she nodded to herself, "All right, time to rock it." She said and slammed the button on her shoulder. In a flash of light she was in a suit of armor.

The armor was an ocean blue color and had gold as a secondary color. The helmet was angular and had tri-prong looking blades jetting out the sides, pointed back. The chest plate had an upside-down crescent moon shape on the top and showed a breast area, telling him that the wearer was female. Her boots seemed to be pointed and had the same three blade-like designs on the outer side of her boots as her helmet had.

She hopped onto the glider and revved it a bit.

"Look out worlds, Namikaze Uzumaki Naruko, up and coming Keyblade Master is making her entrance!" she announced as she flew through the portal.

For her journey has finally started.

Done and Done!

Wow, long time right? Lol, sorry about that.

As to why this is so short? Well, I only wanted to do up to here as I plan on doing a long chapter for the start of her journey and having her go to Traverse Town now and maybe see Sora, Donald, and Goofy or not.

Who knows, maybe challenge the Great Ninja Yuffie~

I mainly wanted to just go over her life thus far in the story for this one and have her fight Kurama.

Bet you guys didn't expect the Rikudou Sennin to be a Keybearer, did you~? I thought it would be an interesting twist, since if it's that guy, well; it's safe to say he had anything and everything since he was so badass!

R&R, no flames, peace off!
