Disclaimer: I don't own Shaman King or Naruto

Having to retype that sentence over and over again is gonna drive me nuts.

Now story details!

I should have told everyone this first, but Naruto will not be starting off being able to use oversoul. He will have to work his way up just like everyone else. Now about his oversoul, I don't want it to be super powerful at the start. I want his oversoul to evolve in stages, much like Yoh's did. The ghosts he'll use are still up for grabs, but I have a plan for a certain clan.

Italics – 'Thoughts'

Bold – Jutsu or beings of great power

Underline – Emphasize and reading

"Where the hell am I?" Naruto was very confused. He looked around himself to see a sewer. The walls were cracked and the pipes were broken. He wondered how he got there. The last thing he remembered was talking Hao about something, but it got kinda cloudy when he tried thinking about it. Scrunching up his face Naruto tries to remember what he was missing. "I know that something happened afterward, but what?"

Giving up after a minute, Naruto looks around to see if he could find some way out when he noticed something strange. "Why is there a draft in a sewer?" That was something he didn't understand.

'Wait a minute! What did Iruka-sensei say about a draft in an enclosed space? Uhh, he said that if there was a draft, then there must be an opening to the outside!' Proud of himself that he actually used something that was taught in the academy Naruto ran against the wind.

'Wow this must be a huge whole if it makes such a strong wind!' Of course, what Naruto didn't know was that he was running towards the exact opposite of where he wanted to go to.

Running for what he thought was forever, but was actually more like two minutes he emerges into a huge room. He was amazed by the sheer size of the room. However, but what drew his attention was the giant gate that was on the other side of the room. As he followed the gate up he was startled to notice that the gate didn't actually reach a roof. It just kept going to an infinite darkness. The dim light from the candles on the walls didn't provide enough light to see that far.

As he admired the gate he failed to notice the shifting of a large creature beyond the gate. The creature was large. It was larger than anything that Naruto had ever seen before and its size seemed even more gargantuan by the fact that only its face could be seen through the bars. Its glowing red eyes looked upon Naruto's small form with an uninterested gaze.

'Now what is my jailor doing? Is he in some life or death situation and he unconsciously tried to use my chakra?' One thing that most people didn't know about the Kyūbi was that it was incredibly intelligent. Unlike its brethren, it was sealed in two different people for long periods of time with very little time in the outside world. This caused it to develop a more intelligent mind because it was not running wild which would deteriorate its mind. This intelligence was the only reason that he had not tried to attack little Naruto. It was trying to determine what way it could use the situation to its advantage when Naruto finally noticed him.

"!" Yelled Naruto as he fell down from fright. He had stared straight into the Kyūbi's eyes, and saw himself die in infinitely many different ways. When he finally stopped screaming he noticed that he was still alive and nothing was wrong with his body.

When he looked up, he noticed that the presence of the creature in front of him was just full of anger, hate, rage, envy, and all other negative human emotions. All of the negativity was enough for him to to fall on his butt and just stare at the being.

For quite some time they just starred at each other until, the Kyūbi got fed up and asked, "What are you doing here child?" The Kyūbi knew that the child had not yet realized what it was, and was trying to keep it that way.

Realizing that the creature was talking to him, he tried to speak without letting out how scared he truly was. "I-I'm not sure what I'm doing here. I felt a breez-ze a while back and follo-owed it trying to find a way out when I got he-ere."

"Is that so?" the Kyūbi stated while trying to find a way to get an advantage to its situation.

"What is the last thing you remember doing before you arrived here?" The Kyūbi asked with faked curiosity.

"Umm, I remember talking to Hao about something, but I can't remember." Naruto stated with sadness.

"Do you remember any of the emotions you felt?"

"I remember feeling really scared and then awe, but I don.. oh." Naruto stopped abruptly with wide eyes and an open mouth.

"Hmm? Did you remember?"

"Y-yeah, I remember. Hao said that if I wanted to be able to do the things he did I would have to die."

"What do you mean by 'die'?" The Kyūbi began to worry when he heard this.

"He meant die, as in no longer living." Naruto stated with increasing panic in his voice.

Stunned, the Kyūbi could only stare wide eyed at Naruto. If Naruto had been telling the truth, then that meant that they were both dead. However, it quickly looked at the seal to see if it had begun to deteriorate. To its surprise it was still as strong as ever. However, looking back at Naruto it could tell that he had been telling the truth. So, why were they still bound together?

"If he truly is dead, then the seal should have shattered the moment he died, and yet the seal is still in place. What could have kept our souls bound together?" The Kyūbiwondered as he stared at Naruto once more to see him still panicking. In fact, Naruto had gone beyond normal panicking, he started running around and screaming that he was dead and how he still hadn't become Hokage.

"Calm down, child." Amazingly enough Naruto stopped running around to stare at the Kyūbi.

"Good, now tell me who this Hao is." Kyūbi ordered.

"Hao? Oh, he's the Shaman King." Naruto stated not understanding why the creature was asking him this.

"Shaman King? What is the Shaman King?" The Kyūbi was genuinely confused. In all of the years of its existence, not once had it encountered a Shaman King. It had encountered shaman's but not once a king of them.

"I'm not sure what a Shaman King is, but they might actually be stronger than even the Hokage!" Naruto yelled with awe in his voice.

Once again the Kyūbi was confused. A shaman, being stronger than a ninja? That did not make sense to it. "This Hao, was the one who killed you?"

"Uh, yeah. But he said not to worry! He said he could bring me back to life in a jiffy!"

"And you believed him? How long have you known him?"

Naruto instantly stopped grinning. He hadn't thought of that. What if Hao had lied to him and killed him without a way to bring him back.

"Well? Are you going to answer?"

"Hao said that he would. Plus he said that he would fix what he did to my hair."

"That's it? You believed him, because he said he would fix your hair?"

Naruto could only stare at the floor in embarrassment. He had believed a stranger who he knew nothing about just because he was awed by his abilities. It certainly didn't help him build any confidence in himself.

Suddenly, before either of them could say anything else, there was a surge of energy going throughout the area. The energy quickly began to fix the broken pipes and cracked walls. However, it didn't stop there. The energy went towards the candles and started to break them apart. After the last candle was broken everything was dark, not even Kyūbi's eyes could be seen. Then both Kyūbi and Naruto started seeing a glowing lines along the walls. The energy had created glowing lines along the walls that got steadily brighter until everything in the room could be seen, even the ceiling. Strangely, the glowing lines began to connect with the pipes and mix, but they didn't mix.

Once he finished looking around Naruto turn back to the creature in front him. He could only stare in shock. The creature in front of him was the being that the Yondaime Hokage had killed. In front of him was the Kyūbi No Yoko.

"Ah..." That was all Naruto could get out. His mind had temporarily shut down from shock. He had been speaking to the Kyūbi. He had a civil conversation with the Kyūbi. He had been speaking to the being that almost destroyed his village.

"Hmm? Can't speak child? Or is it the fact that you now recognize me for who I am, that has made you speechless?" The Kyūbi was getting far too much enjoyment from the way Naruto looked.

Before Naruto could say anything in response, he felt himself fading away. He started panicking when he saw himself slowly disappearing from the bottom of his feet and was nearly hyperventilating when his chest disappeared. When his mouth disappeared he could only stare as he lost his eyesight and then all feeling in his body.

"Interesting," The Kyūbi had noticed the way Naruto had disappeared and found it interesting that instead of instantly disappearing like how it thought he would, Naruto instead disappeared slowly.

"This jailor will be quite a bit more interesting than Mito or Kushina." With that last thought the Kyūbi laid down to rest, when it realized that with all the light in the room it wouldn't be able to, so using its tails it covered its head in order to sleep.

"Welcome back to the land of the living, Naruto." That was the first thing Naruto heard when he woke up from his death.

"You actually killed me! I can't believe I trusted you and you went and killed me!" Funnily enough, death was not enough to make Naruto anymore quiet than usual.

"But I told you I was going to and I even brought you back to life."

"I don't care that you told me! You still killed me! Besides, I don't feel anymore powerful! I don't feel any power like you said I would!"

"I never said that you were going to feel more powerful. All I said was that you would be able to use the same abilities as me, and if you want to be able to use the same abilities as me your going to have to learn how use the new energy inside of you called furyoku." Hao explained with the wisdom of one who had lived a long time.

"Does this mean your going to teach me your super awesome jutsu!" No one could ever say that Naruto wasn't eager to learn new battle skills.

"No."

"Then how am I going to learn how to use this fuoku then?"

"First of all, it's fu-ryo-ku, not fuoku and second of all I will leave you this." In Hao's hand a glowing book appears. "This book has all of my current knowledge about shamanism. It was created by me over one-thousand years ago and I have recently added even more information to it. This book will serve as your source of information regarding anything you may have about your new found abilities. Now, to make sure you don't jump into something your completely unready for, I have put a spell on this book that will test you when you have reached a certain level of proficiency. When you pass that test more of the book will become readable to you."

Naruto could only stare. Here was a person who he had just met and who was giving him something this important.

"Hmm, is something wrong Naruto? I thought you wanted to learn to do the things I could."

Naruto could only look at Hao, before he took the book gently and held it close to his chest.

"Thank you" That was all Naruto could say for receiving such an amazing gift.

"No need to thank me Naruto, just make sure you read that book, okay?"

"I will Hao, and I promise that I will have finished this whole book by the time I become a ninja!" This was said with as much conviction that a seven year old Naruto could make.

"I doubt that you'll be able to read the whole book, after all it took me fifteen-hundred years to write what was inside so I doubt that you'll be able to finish this before you become a ninja. How about you become proficient enough to form an oversoul? That is something that not many shamans ever learn how to do properly."

"Oversoul? What's that?" Naruto asked with curiosity.

"Get far enough in the book and you'll find out." Hao stated as he started walking away. "You may never see me again Naruto, but I hope that if we do meet you'll be a capable shaman." With that Hao disappeared from existence.

"Whoa" Once again in awe Naruto could only stare at the spot that Hao was standing on before he looked at the book in his hands. It was covered in brown leather with no designs or markings of any kind. When he opened the book, he saw that there was a message... and it was addressed to him!

Naruto, I'm going to guess and say that you like to brag. So to make sure that you don't do something stupid like get this book taken from you I have placed a spell that will make this book seem like a child's story for those that don't have furyoku. Of course I also placed some spells that will keep the book from being destroyed in any way. Now get started.

Not as much as last chapter but still quite a bit. Now tell me if I did anything wrong or you believe that I messed something up.

I might set a poll up later for Naruto's ghost, but don't bet on it.

Oh, and just to let you know the pairing is unknown, but if I do make one, it'll be a heterosexual couple.

And in case I didn't mention it before chakra and furyoku, together, react differently than separated.
