I'm back! I know, it took forever for me to update, but I have a valid excuse! I was rereading the Shaman King manga and I watched the Shaman King anime. I didn't want to mess up, and that's why I did my research.

Anyway, for those who wanted to know, I won't be pairing Naruto with Anna. The reason is because if I did that, then Yoh would not train himself as hard as Anna makes him. However, I'm looking at Tao Jun, Kanna Bismarch, Meene Montgomery . Naruto might even have all three.

Remember! In this story, Naruto is gonna be badass! This means that he is going to be incredibly strong. I'm still deciding how strong. He might be Hao's equal, or he might even be stronger. Probably stronger.

Naruto will use a variety of spirits from enemies to allies from the Narutoverse. I'll even let him use chakra.

Now, on with the show!

"I'm so bored! Bored, bored, bored!"

The yeller was laying on his back on the ground. Looking up at the night sky, the yeller could only stare, mesmerized by what he now knew about them.

Checking his Oracle Bell, he saw that there was still about half an hour left before his fight began. Sighing, the yeller stood up and dusted off his pants. Looking around to see if anyone was near, he sighed again in disappointment when he saw that no one was near.

"I knew getting here early was a waste of time. Why did I listen to you Gaara?" The yeller looked to his side to see his spirit Gaara, however his eye started twitching when he noticed that Gaara was asleep.

"Wake your ass up!" The yell woke Gaara up, but instead of being startled he slowly opened his eyes to look at his partner through lazy eyes.

"Do you need something?" The tone in his voice showing no emotion. He was quite proud that he could still do that even though he was dead.

"What the hell! You told me to get here early and when I do, you go to sleep!" The yeller spoke while pointing a finger at his spirit partner.

"And?" Gaara knew that his monotone voice would irk his partner and he was right as his eyebrow began to spasm sporadically.

"Gaara," the yeller whispered while keeping his anger restrained, "from now on, whenever we have a scheduled fight you will stay awake with me got it?" In his eyes you could tell how enraged he was.

Gaara however, knew his partner very well and could tell that he wasn't actually angry, but he just wanted something to do in order to kill some time.

"Fine, I'll stay awake. I'm always amazed that after having lived for so long you can still act like this, Naruto."

"Hey! I'm only 18!" The now named Naruto yelled while shaking his fist at Gaara.

"You know exactly what I mean. While your body may only be 18, your spirit is old." Gaara explained, monotonously.

"You can't talk! Your older than I am!" Naruto defended himself while staring at Gaara straight in the face.

"I'm only a few months older. That is nothing considering how old we are." Gaara could only smirk as the twitch came back.

"Yeah, well what does it matter? I'm physically 18 and that's what I'll go by." Finishing the conversation, Naruto crossed his arms and turned his back towards Gaara.

"Yes, bu-" Whatever Gaara was going to say was lost when he heard a large crash behind him. Seeing Naruto smirking in that direction, Gaara could only conclude that it was their opponent.

"So your Uzumaki Naruto? Hmm, aren't you a strange looking one, and is that your spirit? He doesn't seem all that impressive." Dust from the crash was still clouding the area and only as the dust settled could they see their opponent.

He stood at about 4'9", not counting his tongari, and while he didn't look too impressive his spirit more than made up for it. His spirit was clad in green and gold armor and wore a red cloth around its neck.

Naruto immediately knew that this was Ren Tao. He remembered seeing Ren years ago and giving him the plush tiger as a present. However, the Ren from then and the Ren now, where different. The Ren in the past was a very sensitive boy. This Ren seemed angry.

"Yeah, Gaara's my spirit and there's more to him than meets the eye. Now, why are you here? Children like you should be at home sleeping, and not out and about this late at night." Naruto knew that this irked Ren by seeing his tongari get slightly taller. Apparently he still had to ability to piss people off with his words.

"I may be a child, but I'm also the future Shaman King. You shouldn't underestimate me just because I'm younger than you." Ren anger at being underestimated shown through his voice.

"I'm not underestimating you. I'm just telling you that kids your age should be sleeping this late at night."

"Hmm, you have the uncanny ability to anger me. I'll give you this one chance to forfeit or else I might kill you when we fight." Ren didn't know why he was giving Naruto a chance to forfeit. Usually whenever he fought someone he just killed them without a warning, and yet he was giving this stranger a chance to forfeit. He must have been getting sick if he had such a lapse in judgement.

"Don't worry about me dying. I won't be dying anytime soon. Besides, we have only one minute before the fight starts. Hmm, I wonder where the Patch Officiate is at? They are always present to help judge a shaman fight."

Right when Naruto finished speaking another crash is heard. Looking toward the dust cloud he is surprised to see that Bron was there. He looked at him and he was surprised to see no animosity. He had thought that Bron would be angry at him for attacking him the way he had, but he was even further surprised when Bron just smiled in his direction. That confused him even more. Deciding to figure it out after the fight was finished. He focused on Ren as Bron walked up to both of them.

"Contestants Ren Tao and Naruto Uzumaki, you both know the rules, correct?" Getting a nod from both of them, he continued. "Very well, then I believe that the shaman fight on Mt. Fuji is ready to begin." Turning around as the Oracle Bells began to count down from 10, he left the immediate area so that he wouldn't get caught in the fight. Smirking as he mentally counted down from zero, he was excited to see how Naruto would fight.

"Well then, lets get started. Sabaku no Gaara, into the sand gourd!" Turning Gaara into a hitodama, he smirked when he saw that Gaara's hair and tattoo were still present in it. Pushing the red orb into the gourd strapped to his waist, he smirked when he saw designs exactly the same as the ones that Gaara's own sand gourd had, appear on his.

Turning to look at Ren, he saw Ren pull out a kwan dao from a briefcase. He then pushed his spirit into his weapon. He was surprised when Ren's weapon started shining a golden color. After the light died down, he saw that Ren's kwan dao now had eight golden balls meeting together. The balls resembled Ren's spirit's shoulder armor. The spirit's head was at the top of the kwan dao which sprouted the spear tip from the top of its helmet.

"Nice, your oversoul looks pretty intimidating. Now, are you ready to lose Ren Tao?" Naruto smirked as Ren's tongari got bigger by another few inches.

"Hmph, for that comment get ready to die." Ren had had enough of Naruto's comments and was waiting to shut him up.

Ding!

The Oracle Bell had finished counting down.

Almost immediately, Ren had jumped and tried to skewer Naruto with his oversoul. Naruto jumped back to gain distance so that he could attack from afar. He then had the sand from his gourd come out. He had the sand fall to the ground and settle around him so that he could have it ready at a moments notice.

Ren noticed the sand and knew that it would cause a problem. However, he didn't have any sort of attack to get rid of it. Plus, he didn't know how Naruto could manipulate it. So, all he could do was wait so that he could see what Naruto planned to do with it.

Seeing that Ren was fighting cautiously, he had the sand around him fly toward Ren. Ren managed to dodge, but was shocked when the sand began to follow his movements.

Seeing that Ren was able to dodge his sand at the current speed, he decided to move it faster using his hands. The sudden increase in speed surprised Ren and he was unable to dodge the sand. The force of the sand surprised him as it not only took him off his feet, but also sent him flying into the air. Flipping in the air, he was able to land somewhat gracefully. Putting his hand toward his stomach, he was surprised to feel blood. Looking down he saw that he had a multitude of tiny little cuts. Scowling, he looked up to see that Naruto was waiting for him to stand back up. Growling in anger, he decided to attack Naruto using one of his best attacks.

Seeing that Ren was scowling he believed that he would attack him straight on, but was surprised when he turned his weapon around.

"Now, what are you doing Ren? You can't possibly think that I could get hit by that little spear point do you?" His answer was a smirk that promised pain. However, before he could say anything else Ren's oversoul exploded from behind propelling him forward at incredibly fast speeds. Too surprised to dodge, Naruto could only stare as he was stabbed through with the spear point of Ren's kwan dao. He could only look as his blood splattered across Ren's face.

Ren's grin widened when he felt Naruto's blood splatter across his face. "I warned you that you might die, and here you are, dying." Ren's laughter could be heard as he ripped his kwan dao from Naruto's body. "Oh well, at least you helped me test out one of my attacks."

Turning around he expected to see Bron congratulate him for his victory, however he saw that Bron was staring at the sky with a confused expression on his face. Looking up, he was shocked to see Naruto floating on a small island of sand. Turning to look back at the body, he was further shocked to see it fall into small pieces of sand.

"Suna Bunshin, allows me to replace myself with a sand copy. Works pretty well doesn't it?" From on top of his floating sand island, Naruto smirked down towards Ren. Putting his hand out to his side all of the sand on the ground started to form into an orb around his hand. Pointing his hand toward Ren, he saw Ren tensing ready to dodge his attack. Smirking at the futility of it, he unleashed his attack, "Suna Shigure."

Widening his eyes in shock, he saw Naruto's sand in a wide scale area attack, with him in the center! Trying to escape, he ran trying to avoid as much of the attack as possible, but he was still hit all over his body. Even glancing blows hurt. He was just barely standing after the attack ended. His eyes widened in shock as he noticed that the ground was pockmarked from the attack.

Looking back up at Naruto, he grew angrier when he noticed that Naruto was still smirking down at him. Putting his hand on his oversoul, he pushed all of his furyoku into his Golden Oversoul turning it into Bason, Big Oversoul.

"I won't have you looking down on me! I will show you the strength of the future Shaman King!" Using Bason's upper body to fly, he flew towards Naruto's position in order to end the fight.

Naruto, seeing that the fight would end soon, grabbed his gourd and sent his furyoku into it to transform it from the Sand Gourd Oversoul into the Shukaku no Hoko. His oversoul now looked similar to the spear that Gaara had created whenever he needed a weapon. However, in the middle of the spear, inside of the red rhombus, Gaara's tattoo glowed in a red color. Along the pole of the spear, the designs of Gaara's gourd wrapped all along the length.

Allowing his sand island to disperse, he fell toward Ren. He positioned his spear into place to absolutely destroy Ren's oversoul.

"Golden Chuuka Zanmai!" Bason's upper body grabbed an oversoul kwan dao and started thrusting it incredibly quickly making the attacks look like blurs of light as they headed towards Naruto.

"Saikō Zettai Kōgeki" Naruto met each thrust with his own and as Ren finished his attack, Naruto struck down with his spear completely destroying Ren's oversoul and his kwan dao.

As they fell, Naruto landed on his feet, but Ren crashed into the ground. When Naruto turned to look at Ren, he saw that Ren had been knocked unconscious. Turning to look at Bron, he saw him walk toward him with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations Naruto Uzumaki, you have won you first shaman fight." Bron stated with a smile.

"Uhh, aren't you like pissed or angry at what I did to you?" Naruto scratched his head, while looking away.

"Not at all, you defeating me like you did means that you have a strong furyoku and that is what we look for in the Shaman King."

"Oh, well, okay then. So, what do we do with him?" Naruto asked while poking Ren's unmoving body with a stick.

"I'll take care of him until he reawakens. You now only need one more victory before you qualify for the 2nd round of the Shaman Fight. I hope you continue to do well." With that Bron lifted Ren's body and left Naruto by himself.

Seeing that he was alone, he began thinking about how he would get down. "Screw it, I'm using oversoul."

Gathering sand at his feet, Naruto began to float all the way down Mt. Fuji.

Timeskip

It had been one week since Naruto's first round in the Shaman Fight. In that time he looked at all of the contestants in the Shaman Fight. He was surprised at how many kami-class shamans were participating. He was really hoping that he got to fight one.

At the moment, he was in an apartment complex he owned.

"Hey Gaara, in the next fight do you want end the fight quickly or draw it out?" Turning to look at Gaara, his eyebrow started twitching when he saw Gaara sleeping again.

"Wake up!"

"What do you want? I'm catching up on a lifetime of lost sleep." Gaara's eyes promised pain if Naruto's answer was unsatisfying.

"I wanted to know how you wanted to deal with the next fight." Naruto was glad that Gaara was dead. If he had been alive he would have been grabbed and smacked against a wall for waking Gaara up.

"I am not participating in the next fight." With that Gaara resumed his nap.

"What do you mean your not participating! I need someone to help me in the fight or I"m disqualified!" This time Naruto grabbed Gaara and shook him back and forth to wake him up.

"Use someone else. You have an entire universe of spirits to choose from." That comment froze Naruto, and Gaara used the opportunity to float into another room to sleep.

"I can't believe I forgot that. Now, the question is, who?" Rubbing his chin, Naruto contemplated on who to bring to the next fight.

Wow, I must say that I am enjoying writing this story. Now, obviously Naruto will fight using another spirit. Now, you must suggest some spirits from the Narutoverse. You can't suggest spirits that have been sealed like the Hokage's. Anything else is free game.

Now you must suggest who Naruto will fight next! It can't be Hao, but it can be anyone else. You can also suggest places where they will fight.

Hmm, I can't think of anything else that you might need to know, so until next time!
