Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Fullmetal Alchemist

First of here's some responses to reviews:

Ninja bat master: Thanks for your suggestions, I think I'll use the summoning contract idea and maybe the alchemy. I won't be giving Naruto the Rinnegan. (He'll get Wraths Ultimate eye though). As for the pairing I'm not going to be writting a harem though if theres any particular girl you want to see Naruto with just ask.

Lexor: You've got the idea right. As for Naruto's weapon, If you want I could send you a PM telling you what it's going to be.

Pairings and Teams still undecided. I'll decide upon the paring once Naruto graduates so if theirs some one you want to see with Naruto just ask. Also if you could put a reason why Naruto should be paired up with them that would increase the chances of me picking them. Though as this story will feature a dark Naruto however his paired with will be somewhat darker personality wise as well. As for teams I've decided on one team member for Naruto but I'm still open for suggetions for the other team member and sensei. Same as before, if you give me a reason I'll be more likely to pick them.

Normal speaking/ Pride's 'Selim' voice

Pride's 'true' voice


Konoha Hospital

"Naruto, wake up."

Naruto slowly began to snap back into concousness.

"Naruto, if you wake up now I'll treat you to some ramen."

Hearing that line, Naruto shot out of bed.

"Really! Thanks old man."

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled at the young boy he considered a grandchild, his small smile then turned to a frown as he remembered what he needed to talk to the boy about, "Naruto, I need you to tell me everything that happened to you last night."

"Sure old man, first I went to get some ramen from Ichirakus, then when I was walking home some of the people started gathering together and chasing after me, then one of them used a weird Jutsu thing which caused their Shadow to expand and grab me and that's all I remember before I passed out."

"Are you sure that's all you remember Naruto? You don't know what happened to the mob after you were attacked?" The hokage said with a worried expression on his face.

Naruto looked thoughtful for a moment, "Nope, wait Pride did say something about some people being killed."

Hiruzen looked worried, "Naruto, who is Pride?"

"Pride's my new friend that lives inside my head!"

"Naruto, stop right there."

"Pride?"

"Naruto, it's probably best that they don't know about you becoming a Homunculus or which of us are inside you, for your sake."

"Why."

"If another mob comes after you it's probably best that they don't know what you can do."

"Plus it will kind of ruin our pranking plans if they know that you can transform."

"SHUT UP ENVY, I WON'T LET YOU CORRUPT OUR BROTHER LIKE THAT!"

"IT WAS HIS IDEA NOT MINE, LUST!"

"BOTH OF YOU, SHUT UP!"

"Now, Naruto did you get all of that?"

"Yep!"

"Good, now it's probably best if I come out and do all of the explaining myself..."

"Naruto? NARUTO! Did you even hear a single word I just said?"

"Sorry Old man, I was talking with Pride."

"Well what did he say?"

"He said he was coming out to explain himself."

"WHAT!"

This was it for the Sandaime, the day the council had feared had arrived, the Nine-tailed fox was coming out and it was up to him alone to stop it. When a sudden flash of light happened, Hiruzen shifted into a battle ready position... Only to find himself facing a small child. "Are you... the Nine-tailed fox?"

Pride just gave him a deadpan look, "No."

"Who are you then?"

"As Naruto said my name is Pride."

"Well then Pride, who are you and what are you doing here?"

"I could tell you, but I think your council would want to hear what I have to say as well, besides I'm the one you want, it was me who killed all those people"

"Very well then, follow me, you'll have to explain your actions before the council, Naruto, you stay here, okay"

"But what if the doctors try to attack me?"

"Don't worry, I'll be keeping an eye on you." Pride said with a smile as a giant eye appeared in the shadows on the roof.


Konoha Council Chambers

Half an hour later Sarutobi and Pride entered the council chambers, where Sarutobi took a quick look around to see if everyone was in attendance.

On the Shinobi side, First was the Nara head Shikaku. Shikaku Nara had two scars on the right side of his face along with dark hair tied up into a spiky ponytail and dark eyes as well as a goatee. His ears are also pierced. Shikaku wore a meshed shirt underneath his flak jacket, a deer skin coat over that and hand guards. The Nara clan were known for the intelligence and laziness, as well as the tendencies to find things troublesome. Their unique abilities allowed them to manipulate shadows. They have a strong bond with the Yamanaka and Akimichi clans and it was common for the clan heirs to be placed on a team with each other. Shikaku was one of the few who supported Naruto and had argued the boys case multiple times in the past.

To his left was his former team mate Choza. Chōza Akimichi has long red hair and has markings on his cheeks, a common trait in the Akimichi clan. He wore a samurai like outfit which entails a black suit completed with armor that has the kanji for "food" on it. He also wears a rope belt, hand guards, and instead of a forehead protector, wears a piece of cloth tied around his head. The Akimichi were famed throughout the continent for their great physical strength. The clans abilities allowed them to convert calories into Chakra which they use to perform the clans multiple techniques, such as the super expansion jutsu. Choza was one of Naruto's few supporters in the room.

To Shikaku's right was his other former teammate Inoichi. Inoichi Yamanaka has long blond hair reaching into his back, which he wears spiky on top and ending in a long ponytail, blue-green eyes and strong facial features, and a well defined jaw line. He wore the standard Konohagakure flak jacket over a black outfit, complete with hand-guards, forehead protector and a sleeveless red coat. The Yamanaka clan were a clan known for their use of Mind related Techniques, making them experts at information gathering and espionage. The clan members also frequently display sensory abilities, allowing them to easily sense the Chakra of other shinobi. Like his former team mates, Inoichi supported Naruto.

On the other side of the room was the Aburame head Shibi. Shibi Aburame has his eyes obscured by dark glasses which feature a single tassel hanging down from one-side. He has very spiky short black hair and a moustache. He was wearing a high collared outfit, while carrying a gourd on his back that is used for holding more kikaichū. The Aburame clan were characterised by their use of the kikaichu insects in battle as weapons. At birth members of the Aburame were implanted with hives of insects with live in a state of symbiosis with their host. The clan were also known as being some of the most logical shinobi in the leaf. Shibi was one of Naruto's strongest supporters in the council, due to his clans conection with bugs he felt a certain kinship with the boy.

Next to him was the Hyuga head Hiashi. Hiashi Hyuga has long dark brown hair and featureless white eyes of the Byakugan like all members of his clan. He was wearing traditional, loose fitting robes with a cloak, a common outfit for members of the Hyuga clan. The Hyuga clan were the most powerful clan in Konoha and were famed for their doujutsu the Byakugan which allowed them to see the Chakra system as well as their Jyuuken which allowed them to close the Chakra points. Hiashi had adopted a wait and see approach with Naruto, supporting the choice to allow the boy to live.

To Hiashi's left was the Inuzuka head Tsume. Tsume Inuzuka has an animalistic look to her, something common to the Inuzuka clan, namely long spiky brown hair, vertical slit-like pupils, fang like markings on her cheeks elongated canine teeth and nails. She wears the standard outfit of a Konoha shinobi. The Inuzuka clan were famed for the use of their teamwork with their Ninken dogs. They also had the ability to communicate with their canine companions and their bonds with their partners afforded them enhanced senses. Tsume supported the call for Naruto's death as the Kyuubi had killed her husband during it's attack.

Next to Tsume was the Kurama head Unkai. Unkai Kurama was an old man who was part of the branch family of the Kurama, as only his niece Yakumo remained of the main house. He was the temporary representative of the clan in the council until his niece became old enough to take the position. The Kurama were a clan of skilled Genjutsu users. They had a bloodline that appeared every few generations that caused the users Genjutsu that allowed their illusions to become reality. Unkai was a cautious man who supported the call for Naruto's death not out of any dislike for the boy, but out of fear of the Nine-tails power.

Finally for the shinobi side there was the Uchiha Head Fugaku. Fugaku had short black hair and onix eyes and wore the standard military police outfit. The Uchiha were the villages other founding clan and had the ability to use the Sharingan, a dojutsu that allowed the wielder to copy techniques. Fugaku was also known to be one of the largest supporters of calling for Naruto's death, due to his concerns that with the Kyuubi's power that he could rival the Uchiha's power.

On the other side of the room were the heads of the civilian guilds.

The first of the guild heads was merchant head, Lily Haruno, Lily was a middle aged woman with pink hair, she also wore a red dress. She was also amongst those most vocal in calling for Naruto's death. She was the leader of the merchant guild, who were responsible for selling non-shinobi supplies within the village.

Next was Masamune Havoc, the leader of the guild responsible for shinobi supplies. Masamune had at one time been a Shinobi but had given up the career after losing the use of the lower half of his body in the battle against the Kyuubi. Despite this Masamune was the only one of the civilian heads not to hate Naruto. Masamune was also famed as one of the best users of Kenjutsu and in particular projectiles from his generation and was currently teaching his daughter TenTen how to use these skills.

After Havoc was the head of the farming guild, Yamcha Raiden, Yamcha wore simple overalls as well as and had short black hair. Yamcha was also a very suspicious man and greatly distrusted Ninja's. He was also held a great hatred for Naruto, due to the fact that he saw the boy as the demon.

Finally, there was Fu Ichigo, the head of the tribune Guild. His guild was responsible for managing civil disputed between merchants and the like, the Shinobi council handling criminal actions and disputes involving ninja. Fu also greatly disliked Naruto and some civilians often sued the boy, knowing that no matter the evidence that the guild would always side with them.

Also seated in the room were the Hokage's two advisors Homura Mikotado and Koharu Utatane. Homura had grey hair, a beard and wore glasses. He also wore robes similar to those worn by the Sandaime. Koharu had grey hair, pulled back in a twin bun. Koharu was also wearing a simple long kimono, closed by an obi, a jacket, and a sash over it. The two were known to place what they thought best for the leaf village over all else.

Finally was Sarutobi's old rival and an elder of the Leaf village, Danzo Shimura. Danzo was the leader of a secret sect of ANBU known as ROOT, which he had tried to recruit Naruto for numerous times in the past. Danzo was a large believer in military might over all else, and thought the Hokage's attempts to preserve peace were foolish and only putting the leaf in a weaker position.

Seeing the Hokage walk in the council quietened and Koharu spoke up.

"Hiruzen, why have you called us here?"

"Were here to discuss the events that occurred yesterday."

At the start of this most of the civilians burst out in shouts,

"KILL THE DEMON BRAT."

"AVENGE ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HE'S MURDERED."

"SILENCE."

When the room quietened down the Hokage began again, "Naruto was not the one responsible for yesterdays murders..."

"WELL IF HE WASN'T THEN WHO WAS?" Lily Haruno screamed out in her banshee like way.

Chuckling Pride stepped forward, "That would be, me."

Hearing Pride's disembodied voice sent shivers down the spines of nearly all present.

After recovering and beginning to scowl at Pride, Homura began to speak, "Well then we've heard enough ANBU, arrest the boy!"

Two ANBU then jumped out of hiding before rushing at Pride, who simply smirked before sending shadows out to grab the ANBU before lifting them up to the Shadows mouth.

"Thanks for the snack."

Screaming the two ANBU were lifted into the mouth of the shadow which quickly consumed them.

Shaking in fear Ichigo asked the boy, "Who are you, What are you?"

Smiling Pride introduced himself, "My name is Pride, I'm what's known as a Homunculus."

Confusion appeared on the faces of many of the council members faces, except for Danzo whose one visible eye widened in fear.

Being the first to break out of his stupor, the Hokage asked, "What exactly is a Homunculus?"

"A Homunculus," Danzo began, "Is an artificial human created by a long forgotten form of Science known as Alchemy, supposedly they had super human abilities and could recover from any form of injury."

Pride looked over towards Danzo before smirking, "Your remarkably well informed, aren't you?"

Shrugging Danzo replied, "I have my sources."

"ENOUGH," Fugaku Uchiha said, interrupting the conversation, "Why are we even listening to this brat speak, let alone believing him!"

Picking up a kunai, Fugaku threw it at Pride. The Kunai imbedding itself within Prides neck.

"Now that that's done, perhaps we can get onto some more important issues such as punishing..."

Hearing a laughing sound, the council turned to look at Pride, who pulled the Kunai out of his neck before some red lightning sparked in the spot of the injury before healing itself.

Walking over to Fugaku, Pride held out the Kunai before smirking, "I think you dropped this."

For once Fugaku was speechless, "What, but how."

"I told you, I'm a Homuculus, I'm immortal."

Lifting his head lazily Shikaku spoke, "Since nobody else has any question's, I'll ask one, how did you copy the techniques of my clan?"

"I'm the copy?" Pride spoke with some amusement in his voice.

"What do you mean?"

"You do know the story of the sage of six paths, don't you?"

"Yes, but that's just a legend."

"Oh, he was real alright. Allow me to explain, long ago the elemental nations didn't exist, after a massive struggle in the country of Amestris a small contingent from the neighbouring country of Xing returned back to their homeland. Upon their return, the party's leader, Ling Yao, was crowned as the Emperor of the country. However some time after, he found his body altering as a result of his transformation into a Homunculus during the struggle. Ling's eyes changed, becoming what is known today as the Rinnegan and he gained the ability to use what you call Chakra. He also gained the ability to alter a persons very DNA, which he used to give his subjects control over Chakra, however as a result they lost the ability to use their native Alkahestry. He also gave to the original fifty clans of Xing their own exclusive abilities which would later become known as bloodlines. "

"So, every bloodline is linked to the original clans of Xing?"

"That's correct"

"I know there's less than fifty clans in the world."

"Some died out in the clan wars, while others changed their name, for example the Yao clan renamed themselves to the Hyuuga. Now don't interrupt again"

The room soon quietened down and Pride continued his story, though Hiashi showed a small smile at the fact that the most powerful shinobi in history was a Hyuuga.

"Soon after this Ling received word that the neighbouring country of Amestris had recently been attacked and lost most of their defences. At the urging of Xings council the emperor declared war on Amestris and quickly overcame the defences conquering the country. Soon after the emperor continued his conquring eventually overtaking every country in the world, eventually creating what is now know as the elemental nations. The emperor than changed all of his new subjects, giving them control over Chakra, though he didn't give them any other gifts. Soon after however as a result of all the lives that had been ended, a creature known as the Juubi was created. With no other choice, Ling was forced to seal the creature within himself. Many years later, after Ling's wife LanFan had given birth to two children, Ling discovered that he was dying as a result of the creatures presence. Given no other choice, Ling separated the creature into 9 parts and shot the Juubi's body off into the atmosphere where it became sealed in the moon. As he lay dying he asked his sons, what the key for peace was. His oldest replied with power, while his youngest answered love. Hearing this Ling named the youngest his successor, before he died. Filled with rage the oldest and his family attacked the youngest. Despite the youngers best effort for peace, a war eventually broke out between the two. The elder's family calling themselves the Uchiha and the younger's calling themselves the Senju."

With Pride's story ending the room broke out into conversation. After a few minutes of this the Hokage ordered the room quiet.

"We can discuss all this at a later date, but for now I've still got one more question for you Pride, Why are you here?"

"It's because of that boy, Naruto."

"What do you want with him!" The Hokage snapped at Pride.

"He can... sustain me."

"What do you mean?"

"Homunculus are created using human souls, with the decline of Alchemy this resource became very difficult to obtain, Naruto has very large Chakra reserves however, which the Homuculus can use to sustain ourselves."

"Very well I'll allow it seeing as I don't have that much choice, but I must ask that you swear to me that you mean this village no harm."

"I won't got out of my way to harm this village, but I WILL protect my host, so if any of your villagers try to attack him, I will react with Lethal force."

The Hokage let out a weary sigh, "Very well then, you may leave."

As he was walking out Pride turned around one last time, "Oh yes, I should probably inform you that I'm not the only Homuculus within Naruto, so don't think your safe if I'm not there."

After Pride left, the others soon got up to leave to, until it was only the Hokage, his advisors and Danzo left in the room.

"I don't like this Sarutobi," Homura began, "We should have just gotten ridden of it there and then."

"I have to disagree," Danzo said, "That power could certainly be a great boon to the leaf."

"Not if the boy decides to turn on us." Koharu snapped.

Looking out the window, the Hokage responded, "We must hope then that Naruto's will of fire shines through."


Hope you enjoyed the chapter.

I'll probably be fairly slow with Updating for a while, I just got every episode of FMA Brotherhood so I'm going through and watching all of them again.

If any one knows which of these happened first, the Uchiha Massacre or Hinata's Kidnapping could you please tell me, the next chapter will be on the events of one of them. (And the following one on the other one). If theres no real timeline just ask for which one you'd like first. Note that next chapter if also begining of the Dark Naruto and after the next two chapters will be the start of the Academy.

And finally as always Please Review.
