Naruto: Fullmetal

Chapter 1: Death and Rebirth

AN: Welcome to yet another Chrisdz fanfiction. This like all my fics will be a harem fic. Before anyone asks yes it will contain lemons cursing and other adult themes. This one is my try at a Naruto/Fullmetal Alchemist crossover that just wouldn't leave my head until I wrote it down. So with that said here it is.

It was a quiet and peaceful night within the walls of Konohagakure no Sato. Today had been a great day for the village which had just signed a peace treaty with the Village Hidden in the Clouds. Because of this the village had thrown a huge festival in honor of the peace to come. Even after the festivities were over and some of the villagers stumbled home drunk there had been no incidents much to the relief of the ANBU and Konoha's Military Police.

Of course most noticed this was due to the absence of one person. Said person was no more than a small boy of four years old. He had bright blonde hair and three whisker like markings on each side of his cheek, his name is Uzumaki Naruto. The boy had spent the day hidden within the forest surrounding the village, having not been allowed within the orphanage the previous night. He had made it a point NOT to venture within the village on this day knowing from experience if he did only a beating awaited him.

He had watched the fireworks from the safety of the forest knowing none of the villagers would venture out tonight due to the festival. He had also forgone returning to the orphanage knowing that if he even tried the drunken villagers would beat him to within an inch of his life once they noticed him, like they always did whenever there was any type of celebration.

For as long as he could remember he'd been hated by the villagers though he had no clue why. For a while he had thought it had been something that he'd done though that theory was quickly shot down since he was too young to have done anything. He'd also believed that it had been something his parents had done though that was shot down since nobody had a clue who his parents were. He'd even briefly entertained the idea that he was hated because he was born on the day that the Kyuubi attacked four years ago. After a while he had just accepted the fact that this was how things were though that didn't mean he liked the way things were.

Unfortunately for the boy such plans hadn't really worked out in his favor as he now found himself lying in a pool of his own blood. Things had worked out beautifully for him at first since he hadn't been attacked by any of the villagers. No instead he'd somehow managed to be found by a jounin from Kumo as he made his escape from the Hyuga Compound.

Naruto had seen him coming from his position within the trees and had watched the man warily as he rested in the clearing. He had planned to just mind his own business and pretend the man didn't exist. At least that was until the man had opened the bundle he was carrying and he was able to see the little girl tied up within it.

Unfortunately for the blonde his conscious had taken that moment to act up and instead of minding his own business he had idiotically jumped from his safe position within the tree, which had taken forever to climb, with a kunai in hand intending to surprise the man like he did the animals when he'd hunted for food in the past. It had almost worked too, until the man had looked around to check his surroundings and saw him coming from the tree.

Faster than Naruto could blink the man had reacted to the threat and the blonde had hit the ground. He didn't even whimper when he hit the ground mostly because he was in shock, though seeing his entire right arm lying next to him separate from his body would have that affect. Of course the lightning he felt coursing through his body could also be the cause. He didn't even blink as he looked into the man's eyes as he approached his downed form his bloodied ninjato still held in his hand.

The man himself looked down at the boy with pity in his eyes. He hadn't wanted to take this mission but it was one that he couldn't refuse and now that he had his prize he could not allow anyone even a child to interfere. Opting to give the boy a quick and painless death he positioned his sword over the boy's neck readying for a quick thrust to end it.

Suddenly just as he was about to thrust his sword forward the boy's blue eyes blazed red with an animalistic slit pupil as a deep red chakra surrounded him. Faster than the man could react an ethereal arm of pure chakra shot from where the boy's right arm had been and grabbed him before slamming him into a tree with enough force to snap it in half. This was the scene that Hyuga Hiashi witnessed as he arrived within the clearing with his Byakugan blazing. Just as quickly as it came the red chakra disappeared as the boy's once again blue eyes rolled into the back of his head.

30 minutes Konoha Hospital:

The Sandaime Hokage was a man known for many things and to the villagers of Konoha the most well known was his kindness. When he received the news of the night's events however that kind old man was gone and in his place was the living legend that had been picked as the Sandaime Hokage, the man praised as the legendary 'God of Shinobi'.

As he paced through the hall of the hospital it took a supreme effort for him to reign in his killing intent. Every shinobi in the village had been alerted by the chakra spike Naruto had given off and it hadn't taken long for him along with the ANBU to arrive at the scene. The Kumo nin was currently in critical condition and might not make it through the night, though it wasn't like he cared.

What he did care about was the little boy he'd found in the forest whose entire right arm had been separated from his body. There had been so much blood within that clearing that he found it hard to believe that it all came from one person, much less such a young child. To make matters worse none of the medics were certain if they'd be able to reattach the limb which would make it impossible for the boy to become a shinobi like he had wanted. That thought alone had his killing intent leaking out once again.

From his chair near the Hokage, Hiashi found himself struggling to not buckle under the feeling of the Sandaime's killing intent. After he'd retrieved his daughter he'd sent her home along with his brother while he himself came to the hospital with the Sandaime. He had to fight the urge to grit his teeth in frustration knowing that it was only because he was out of shape that he hadn't arrived earlier.

When he was still in active duty that Kumo nin would have never been able to outrun him like he had. With his Byakugan active he'd witnessed the entire thing and was still cursing himself for his lack of speed. When this was over he was definitely be getting back into shape as well as looking out for the boy elder's wishes be damned.

He was surrounded in a sea of white. The only other thing around him was the large black gate that stood in front of him. As he looked upon the gates he couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding in the pit of his stomach.

"It has been a while since we last met Naruto." Said a deep voice as the void he was standing in seemed to darken.

"W-who said that, where are you." Shouted out the blonde in slight fear though he quickly overcame it.

"I am someone who has watched over you since the day you were born." Spoke the voice once more as it echoed around the boy.

Suddenly the form of a large transparent…thing seemed to materialize in front of him. It wore long white robes that covered its entire frame and had long spiky white hair. A pair of red horns stuck out from its head and it had deep purple skin along with deep black eyes.

"While I have many names boy you would know me as the Shinigami." Spoke the being causing the boy to pale.

"So I actually did die." Muttered the blonde angrily

"You're not dead boy this is merely the border between life and death. I have merely brought you here in order to speak with you." Spoke the Shinigami catching the boy's attention.

It was a bright and peaceful day in the hidden leaf village. The birds could be heard chirping as children ran through the streets happily.

"SARUTOBI."

The enraged yell echoed over the village from the village gates abruptly shattering the image of peacefulness the village had held. The source of the yell was not one but two people. One of these people was a blonde woman whose hair was held in two long pigtails that looked to be no older than 25 years old. She wore grey pants and a sleeveless grey shirt that was held together by a blue obi with a pair of flatfooted black shoes. Over her shirt was a large green jacket with the kanji for 'Gamble' on the back in black. A diamond marking was on the center of her forehead and a green gem hung from her neck nestled safely between her rather large breasts.

The second was from a man with long spiky white hair that hung down to his mid back while thin red lines trailed down each side of his face. Unlike the woman he looked to be in his 40's. He wore a pair of green pants with a grey shirt a red vest worn over it. instead of regular sandals he wore a pair of geta sandals with a strange headpiece with the kanji for 'Oil' printed in the center. Finally a large scroll could be seen strapped to his back.

As the two stormed through the village towards the Hokage Tower the adults jumped out of the way some pulling their children along with them as they did. Neither of the two had been seen in the village in at least four years yet everyone knew who the two of them were. They were the Slug Sannin Tsunade, and the Toad Sage Jiraiya two of the village's Legendary Sannin.

Within his office at the tower the Sandaime shivered as he heard the dual screams of rage and wondered for the first time if it had actually been a good idea to call them like he did. He quickly smashed that thought down knowing it was the best option he'd had at the time. His thoughts on that matter however were broken as the doors to his office were thrown open as the body of one of his jounin skidded across the carpet.

Looking up he found himself looking into the enraged eyes of his two students as they stalked down the hall towards him. Standing to his feet he met his two students just as they reached the doors to his office several jounin and ANBU members trying to restrain them.

"Let them go." Spoke the old man surprising everyone with the force in his voice though the gathered shinobi quickly complied.

"Drop the injured off at the hospital and return to your duties." Ordered Sarutobi before turning his eyes towards his students who were both glaring at him murderously.

"Let's talk inside." Said the old man before turning on his heels to enter his office.

"Where is he?" Demanded both his students in unison causing the old man to pause though he quickly continued forward.

"Damn it Sarutobi where is my son?" Demanded Tsunade shocking everyone including Jiraiya.

"We'll talk about it inside." Said Sarutobi the seriousness in his voice leaving no room for argument.

"Before we begin I'd like to apologize for calling you two as I did but it was the only way to insure that you both would come." Stated Sarutobi as he sat down in his seat looking for all the world like the old man he was.

"I don't know how to tell you this so I'll just start from the beginning. Tsunade to start I should tell you that when you first brought your son to me I changed his name in accordance to your wishes. In order to hide him from your enemies he was named Namikaze Minato. Instead of placing him in the orphanage however he was raised by the Sarutobi clan so that I could keep a closer eye on him. By the time he was ten the boy was certified as a genius of the highest caliber when it came to the shinobi arts and upon graduation I had him placed on Jiraiya's gennin team.

As you both know Minato eventually became the greatest shinobi the village had ever produced becoming our Yondaime Hokage. Of course in all that time I never told him of his heritage which was once again in accordance to your wishes." Said Sarutobi before taking a puff from his pipe.

"Minato as you know Jiraiya had secretly married Uzumaki Kushina, the heiress and sole survivor of Uzu no Kuni's royal family, during the war. About five years ago I had begun using all of my resources to find you Tsunade, only for you to dodge my messengers. Kushina had been found pregnant and I had wanted you to be there to help her along as well as deliver your grandson." Explained the man causing the woman's eyes to widen.

"Unfortunately barely a day after their son's birth the Kyuubi struck. In the aftermath of the attack their son was left orphaned as Kushina had been killed when the hospital collapsed and Minato died sealing the Kyuubi. Once again I stepped in, hiding all evidence that could link him to his parents and in turn to you, he became Uzumaki Naruto. Nor did I even announce his birth all to protect him from Minato's enemies; he'd already had enough of his own." He paused here taking a puff from his pipe before continuing.

"Several members of the council in their infinite knowledge decided to tell the village of Kyuubi's sealing and led the people to see the boy as Kyuubi reborn. Danzo was the leader of this scheme believing that the execution of Naruto under the guise of Kyuubi would give him enough support to take up the position of Hokage in the wake of Minato's death."

He was stopped here as the combined killing intent released from his students finally broke through their restraints and he had to once again calm them. Once the two had regained some form of their composure he sighed in relief and continued.

"I managed to stop the execution, but the damage had already been done and only a few aside from the Aburame and Inuzuka clans would believe that the boy was only a vessel and not the demon itself. In response to this I created a law stating no one would mention the true events of the Kyuubi's defeat to anyone especially the younger generation under the penalty of death.

Danzo then tried to persuade the council to give him possession of the boy in hopes of turning him into a weapon, I forbid it. Both Inuzuka Tsume and Aburame Shibi had tried to adopt him only for their efforts to be blocked by the civilian council who had control of all orphans. I once more began to send for you Tsunade but Jiraiya also this time since the only loophole would be for a blood relative to take him in." he paused here at their combined confused looks and chuckled.

"I had always told the two of you that you drunk too much. It seems one of your drunken exploits resulted in Minato, Tsunade which is why you couldn't remember who the father was. I myself didn't figure this out until I was forced to look for someone who could take the boy in and away from the councils clutches. Though I do believe I joked to you that Jiraiya could very well be Minato's father."

Jiraiya could only sit there his eyes wide in shock. His godchild, the son of his greatest student, was in actuality his grandson. Minato was actually his son and by the one woman he had always longed for. Suddenly that shock turned to horror as he realized he'd actually had sex with Tsunade and couldn't remember it. Before he could wallow in his self pity Sarutobi spoke again.

"Two weeks ago Kumo tried to make a move on the Byakugan using a peace treaty signing to enter the village. On his way out he encountered Naruto, who had been hiding within the forest in an effort to evade the villagers. Though he tried to protect himself it was useless against a trained jounin which led to the loss of his entire right arm as well as severe damage to several of his internal organs. It was as the man went to finish him that Naruto managed to tap into the Kyuubi's chakra and according to Hiashi used an arm made of pure chakra to slam him into a tree with enough force to splinter it.

Needless to say the council was in an uproar over the events of that night. Many of them were ready to declare war on Kumo for the attempted kidnapping of the Hyuga Heiress. In fact the only reason they hadn't was the knowledge that we haven't fully recovered from the Kyuubi's attack. Unfortunately more than a few calls have also been made for Naruto's death as well most notably from the civilians.

Luckily Hiashi stepped up to his defense and placed the boy under the protection of the Hyuga clan. Furthermore he stated that any and all acts made against him would be taken as acts against the clan."

Before any thing else could be said however the door was slammed open as a panting chuunin that each instantly recognized as a Hyuga rushed into the room.

"Hokage-sama come quick something's happening to Naruto."

The three were gone before the man could blink.

The scene that greeted the Sandaime and two Sannin as they entered the floor that held the hospital room where Naruto was placed was one of utter chaos. Medic nin could be seen rushing about throughout the halls. As they reached the blonde boy's room they were met by both Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi.

"What happened." demanded Hizuren almost as soon as they arrived.

"We're unsure what caused it but about five minutes ago Naruto had a heart attack. Since then we've been out here since the medics won't allow anyone inside." Started Hizashi before a yell interrupted him.

"SHIT HE'S ENTERED CARDIAC ARREST. HURRY UP AND GET THAT HEART RESTARTED.

"I'M TRYING NOTHINGS WORKING."

For nearly five minutes those in the hall could only wait and pray that everything would be fine. Even Tsunade, Konoha's most legendary medic was left powerless as she couldn't even enter the room. Finally the doors opened as at least seven medic's emerged from the room each covered in a fine layer of sweat and panting in exhaustion before sliding down the walls to seat themselves.

Finally one more medic emerged from the room and approached the group though each could tell he was as tired as the rest. He stood at a height of 5'8 and had dark brown hair that was pulled into a ponytail. Each of them stood silently for several minutes as they waited for the medic to regain his breath until finally the man spoke.

"He's fine now just resting. For a while no matter what we tried nothing would work and he seemed to just get worse. He was gone for exactly two minutes, somehow though he managed to comeback. It was at that point that his heart started back up seemingly on its own accord everything from there will be covered in the report." Stated the man getting a relieved nod from the Sandaime before the man spoke again.

"We believe the cause was a rupture in the seal as there was youki flooding his system throughout nearly the entire process. After his revival the flow of youki had disappeared as did the seal. Since Naruto technically died we believe the seal fulfilled its purpose but that is only speculation as we are not experts in that field. This belief however is supported by the fact that his 'whiskers' have disappeared from him completely. We will have to wait to discover any other changes when he awakens." Finished the man.

"Thank you doctor Nishimura. You should go and rest" said Sarutobi getting a grateful nod from the man who did as told

As the man left them Sarutobi merely sighed before entering the room with his former students as well as Hiashi and Hizashi. As the door closed behind the group each of them couldn't help but wonder what would happen next.

AN: That's it for the first chapter. Tell me seriously what you think as that will determine if I bother to continue this or not.
