Naruto/Sailor Moon (Earlier this Year/2013)

Shinobi Fire Senshi

Prologue: Senshi of Mars

In the Elemental Countries there are many forms of warfare, But they can be broken down into Three Groups. Chakra Warfare, practiced by Shinobi, Samurai and Monks, this is the most common of the three Warfare groups on an international scale. Physical Warfare, the use of the body and weapons without the aid of chakra, practiced mostly by bandits, thugs and soldiers. The Second Warfare Group to be discovered, it was once the primary means of combat until the advent of the Chakra Era, a thousand years earlier.

The Oldest and most powerful of the Three Warfare Groups is the Celestial Senshi Warfare, Used by Nine Special warriors called Senshi or Sailor Scouts and by their underlings this group of warfare is highly destructive. Split into Nine sub-groups for each of the Nine Celestial Bodies capable of supporting a Senshi or Sailor Scout. The Nine bodies in order of power are: Mercury, Jupiter, Neptune, Venus, Uranus, Pluto, Mars, Saturn and Moon.

Ten Thousand years ago the majority of their power disappeared with the ancient scripts required to learn their abilities, however when the Kyūbi attacked Konoha Twelve years earlier, the ancient scripts were re-discovered in the ruins and every child in Konoha was tested to see if they had the ability to become a Senshi. For while ordinary people or Shinobi could wield these powers, they were mere shadows of the powerful and deadly Senshi. At the age of one the Jinchūriki of the Kyūbi was tested, due to the villagers hatred he was the last child to be tested, however the result was startling, not only did he have a powerful link to Three Celestial Bodies, but… He was also the Senshi of Mars.

The villagers hatred was now tempered with respect and veneration, while they didn't openly praise him or help him like they would Sasuke Uchina. They did accept him, for Mars' Senshi were always beings of great honor and Loyalty. However, they were only truly loyal to the Royal Family of the Moon Kingdom. For this alone the villagers feared, and they asked themselves. What if the Royal Family ordered their destruction?

Twelve years passed and many things happened, Kumo had been planning to abduct a Hyūga during the peace negotiations Three years after the Kyūbi's attack. But upon learning of the presence of the Senshi of Mars they instead chose not to attempt anything, just in case the Senshi were to retaliate, It wasn't for another Nine years that the identity of the Senshi would be known. The moment it was discovered Kumo collectively cried in shame at being royally fooled by Konoha, they had stopped their plans due to a three year old boy who had no idea of his powers.

Six years after the Kyūbi attack another Tragedy befell Konoha, the mighty Uchina clan was slain by one of its own. While Konoha tended to the Survivors (Sasuke Uchina, His Mother and all the Women and Children under the age of ten), Iwa had public celebrations on the deaths of so many of the Uchina clan, For while they had a dislike for Minato Namikaze, Iwa also respected his humility and honor, where as the Uchina clan openly mocked them and stole their jutsus.

Nine years after the Attack Naruto Uzumaki the Jinchūriki of the Kyūbi no Kitsune begins his training in Celestial Warfare that had become mandatory in Konoha, While knowledge of the Celestial Senshi and their abilities and personalities was widespread, Konoha was the only Hidden Village to possess the ability to train Celestial Warriors and Senshi due to their possession of the Ancient Scripts required to train the Senshi and Lesser Warriors (A/N: While 'Senshi' does mean warrior, in this case I'm using it to separate the true Sailor Scouts from lesser practitioners of the same Celestial Body) Konoha had separated the abilities of the Celestial Powers into Seven Ranks: Novice, Apprentice, Journeyman, Adept, Expert, Master and Grand-Master. Senshi while respected still fell into these ranks, but they had a greater respect to other practitioners as a Novice Senshi was equal in power to a Grand-Master.

However in the Three years since the Uchina massacre some discontent for Naruto's status had arisen and the teachers tried to hide knowledge from him by saying he was incompatible with the Planet Mars. Naruto while disappointed for reasons unknown to himself, then threw himself into studying the other Celestial Body powers, he quickly rose through the ranks ending up as a Grand-Master Moon practitioner and a Master Practitioner of Saturn.

However as a consequence for their duplicity, the thirty-eight Mars Practitioners in Konoha lost their powers, for the planets were sentient and highly protective of their Senshi. Naruto's actions had accidentally resulted in him achieving a 'Honorary Senshi' position in the other two celestial beings minds. They knew that the Time of the Silver Millennium was up in this Universe, but they knew of a sister Universe where the Dark Kingdom still existed.

This is Naruto's Story, This is his discovery of his true status, and later on his journey to a new life. He would bring about a new Silver Millennium, but… not in the Elemental Countries. To another world he'll travel, and there he'll find acceptance, friendship and eventually love.

-S.F.S-

Chunin Exams, Konohagakure. Day One of Thirty-One till Third Exam.

(A/N. Prelims, same as Canon. None of the Konoha Twelve used their Senshi powers due to restrictions)

Naruto sighed to himself, he knew he wasn't the smartest, he knew that he like Orange too much and ate too much Ramen, He knew that Neji was many times stronger than him and far more skilled. He also knew that Ebisu was a complete idiot who had just gotten himself knocked out by a pervert with giant toads.

Naruto then does the only thing he can think of, he shouts "Hey, you just knocked out my trainer for the Chunin Exams. Now who is going to train me huh?"

The Old Pervert with long white hair and a unique Headband with the Kanji for Oil on it sighs and shushes Naruto before commenting "Hey now, be quiet. I'm trying to research here"

Naruto then grins and says "Well, I'll give you a deal, you train me OR I'll scream pervert at the top of my voice while henged as a woman. I'd give you maybe two seconds before one of the Kunoichi in the bathes seriously injures you"

The Old Pervert thinks for a moment before he nods and says "O-okay, y-you've got a deal. Damn kid you managed to pull a good one over me"

"Who exactly are you?"

The man face plants then starts to sing and dance with a ridiculous background, noisemakers and streamers, eventually he ends up standing on a giant toad before saying "I'm Jiraiya the Legendary Toad Sage" and holding his thumb out in the patented Gai Good Guy Hand Sign™, Naruto holds up a sign saying 6.4. Jiraiya slumps before Naruto comments.

"Not bad, but you need to work on it a little, it's very tacky" Before Naruto's eyes a small storm cloud appears over Jiraiya's head and starts storming down on him. 'Not bad, I work on that for years and all I get is a not Bad. Sigh, Face it Jiraiya, you just aren't going to get everyone to like you or to enjoy your entry scene!' Naruto sweat-drops at the look of utter despair on the toad sage's face. 'Has he never gotten bad criticism before?'

Jiraiya quickly recovers and says "So you want me to train you huh, well what can you do?"

Naruto smiles and says "I can use the Kage Bunshin Jutsu, Tree Walk, Solid Henge and Kawarimi. I'm also a Grand-Master Moon Celestial Warrior, and a Master in Saturn Celestial Warrior, I wanted to learn Mars but I was told I have no talent or compatibility with. I'm also practicing Fūinjutsu on the side. I'm terrible at Genjutsu and my Taijutsu is High Genin. I'm considered a Solid C-Rank Shinobi according to ANBU Records, Also my stealth is considered Kage-Level"

Jiraiya's eyebrow has almost disappeared into his hair (Considering its above his head band, that's a hell of a trick) and he says "Did they ever tell you why you were incompatible with Mars" Jiraiya's senses were screaming something was off.

Naruto nods "Something about being born under an opposing sign or something like that, why?"

Jiraiya frowns and says "Because your aura seems to be very closely aligned with Mars, It seems strange that you of all people would be incompatible especially with the…"

"Kyūbi" Naruto finishes, Jiraiya looks up in shock and says "So you know about it then, I suppose it's for the best. If I remember right you were to be informed of its existence should you make Chunin or reach the age of sixteen" Jiraiya then pulls out a strange object, it's circular in shape and about the size of a Wall Clock. In the centre is a hemisphere of crystal with Nine radiating Crystal lines with Ten separate sections leading to a Symbol, from left to right the order is: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Moon, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. "Put your hand on the crystal in the centre Naruto"

Naruto with some hesitation puts his hand on the Crystal in the centre, The Device explodes into light. The Saturn line fills up to Nine sections, The Moon line lights up to Ten sections. The Mars Line lights up one section and the symbol also lights up. Jiraiya sighs and mutters "Damn fools, no wonder we were punished"

Naruto overhearing asks "What do you mean?"

Jiraiya looks him in the eye and says "Three years ago all the Mars Practitioners in Konoha lost their connection to Mars, the reason for this was due to the teachers telling you that you had no connection to Mars"

Naruto tilts his head in confusion and a faint yell of "Kawaii" is heard. "Why would that have an effect on their powers?" Jiraiya looks around for the voice before answering.

"It's quite simple, You know of the Senshi yes?"

Naruto straightens and nods "Yeah, the Nine Senshi have a deeper connection to their planets then the rest of us. The difference is said to be the same as the difference between a Grand-Master and a Novice. They are also said to embody the nature of their planets, Also they are said to be Royalty of their planet but I'm not sure if that's true or just a legend"

Jiraiya nods "Oh it's true alright, and Mars punished Konoha because of you"

"Me?"

Jiraiya nods again "Yes, you Naruto Uzumaki. You the Warrior of Passion. Honor. Loyalty and Fire. You the Senshi of Mars… You. Are. Sailor. Mars"

Naruto reels back with shock plainly seen on his face, but then he smiles as a warm comforting presence enters his mind and he hears in a voice filled with Fire and Passion 'Finally, you know. I have waited years for you young one. Don't Disappoint me'

Suddenly a phrase, almost a Hymn enters his mind and Naruto chants "Mars, Planet of Loyalty, Honor, Passion and Fire. Grant me the strength to protect the weak, To punish the cowardly and the dishonorable. To stand as a bulwark against the Dark, To guard the Royal Moon Princess. Mars I call to thee, I am your servant, your warrior, your prince and your King. I am Sailor Mars" Jiraiya had backed off during the ritual. Suddenly a ring of fire appears around Naruto and engulfs him, when it disperses Naruto's clothes have changed. No longer is he wearing a Orange Jumpsuit, instead he is wearing Plate Armor colored Dark red ochre, with ornate Red and Orange decorations on the sides and breastplate that resemble flames burning. On his head is a Angled Helm with Red Lacquer embellishments and the Symbol of Mars in the centre of his visor above his Eye sockets. (For the Helm think something like a Grey Knight Helm from Warhammer 40K but a dark red ochre with fiery red highlights) On his back is a black cape with the Symbol of Mars displayed predominantly in the middle in bright Red, Around the edges white flames ring the cape with red threads depicting individual streamers of fire. On his waist is a Katana with a Fire Pattern on its Tsuba, and Red Hilt Wrappings and Tassels, at the end of the tassels are Symbols of Mars. Naruto draws the blade and it is Fiery Red with a Waves of Fire design on the flat of the blade.

Chapter 1: Chunin Exams Round Three - Neji

Almost a month has passed since Jiraiya started teaching Naruto the Celestial Powers of Mars, but in that short time he's already half-way to mastering them.
