A/N I don't own Kingdom Hearts nor Naruto but I hope you enjoy this chapter. Part of the Riku and Mickey scene will be in flashback mode. This is also the same scene where Kairi meets Sakura and I plan to develop their bond. They will go to worlds together.


Yen Sid was sitting at the mysterious tower talking with one of the new Keyblade wielders.

"I see that your training is paying off as your strength improved over time and I am very impressed by your magic. Because of your improvement as a wielder, Once Sora and his friends return, I permit you to go to other worlds. The Keyblade wielder giggled in amusement.

"Thank you, Master," Kairi said. "Now, why did you ask for me?" But before Yen Sid could answer they see the door opened by familiar faces with new ones coming in.

"Hey, there." Sora greeted them. He looked over to see Kairi there. His childhood friend waves at him.

"K-Kairi?" Sora stammered. "What are you doing here? Not that I'm not glad to see you but aren't you training?"

"Yen Sid said I've done enough training enough to travel to other worlds." She said. Sora looks back at Yen Sid in surprise.

"Yes, Sora. She trained in a world where time is frozen and to her, it felt like a year. I sent Lea to patrol Radiant Garden so I'm sending her to travel to other worlds to get stronger." Sora looked at her in bewilderment. Kairi smirked and puts her Keyblade on her shoulder. She looks behind to see Sakura and Naruto.

"Oh, are these new friends of yours?" She asked. Sora nodded then he turns to Master Yen Sid.

"Oh, Master. We brought Naruto and Sakura here as you asked." Yen Sid nodded and turns his head to the two Shinobi.

"Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura." Yen Sid began. "I summoned Sora, Donald, and Goofy to bring you to add to our champion of lights."

"Champions of light?" Sakura asked. Yen Sid nodded.

"The champions of light are a group of heroes to counter Xehanort's 13 darknesses." He explained. He told the story of Xehanort to the newcomers. He told them the story of the missing Keyblade wielders named Aqua, Ventus, and Terra. Sakura put her hand on her heart and frowned.

"That's sad." She sniffed. However, Naruto was confused.

"So, I get you asked them to come to help us but why have Sora bring us here?" Yen Sid turns to Sora and Kairi. "Sora Kairi, show me your Keyblades, and when they do... I need you to touch the handles." Sora and Kairi revealed their Keyblades then Naruto and Sakura touched it. Then, at that point, something startling occurred. A flash of light sparkled out of their hands to uncover Keyblades that showed up in their grasp.

Naruto looks at her Keyblade with awe. The Key is shaped with an orange-like fox and its keychain is nine-tailed. Sakura's is similar to Kairi's only her Keychain is a first aid kid. She looks at it with great admiration. Suddenly, she heard the door open. She looks to see a Riku with shorter silver hair than ever. He wore a black, hooded jacket that he keeps unzipped, with short sleeves, gold buttons, and a checkered pattern at the hem, and a white, V-neck shirt underneath. He also wears blue cropped trousers that are hemmed with the same checkered pattern as the jacket, black gloves on each hand, and black high-top boots.

"Whoa." Sora pointed out.

"Nice outfit, Riku." Kairi commented. Riku smiled.

"Thanks." He said.

"So, you're all here." Mickey said. He then noticed the new guests here.

"Oh, and who are they?" Mickey asked.

"Your majesty, this is Sakura Haruno." Sora pointed to the girl on his left who gave Mickey a bow. "And this is Naruto. They are the new Keybearers." Mickey mentally jumped.

"It can't be. I haven't seen him since he was a baby. I better talk to Yen Sid before they depart." The King shook the blonde boy's hands and forced a smile.

"Nice to meet you, Naruto."

"You, too." He grinned. Riku Was taken back by his smile. He then looked at Sora and noticed that they looked similar.

"So... What have you been up to?" King Mickey asked.

"We went.." Sora was about to speak but Donald pushed him aside.

"We went to Konoha to retrieve Naruto and Sakura. And for Sora to get his powers back." He then whispered to the king's ear. "But it was a big disappointment." Mickey frowned.

"Well... what a shame." But, honestly..."

"...we didn't fare any better." Riku followed up... They explained their time in the realm of Darkness. After hearing their story, Donald frowned.

"She's gone?"

"No..." Riku said. "Sora was dragged into the abyss during his exam. And I went in after him. So, I think if we find someone who was really close to Aqua, and they make the dive, they could reach her down there." Mickey shakes his head sorrowfully.

"I'm not sure who's even left to ask. Ventus is hidden...and Aqua's the only one who knows where. Plus, nobody's seen Terra in ages. Aqua was the last."

"So Aqua... she's gonna be the key to finding all three."

"Yes." Master Yen Sid finally spoke, drawing the attention of everyone in the room. "Their teacher, Master Eraqus, would have been another possibility, had Xehanort not mercilessly struck him down." The room was silent as none could think what to do. Sora places a hand over his heart.

"I'll save her." This caused the whole group to jump in surprise except for Yen Sid.

"You can't!" Donald shouted.

"But Sora, that's gonna be super hard since you don't have the power of waking." Goofy pointed out.

"Huh?" Sora went back to reality as he rubbed his head. "Sorry... I have no idea why that just popped out."

"Well, it was pretty convincing," Mickey said.

"Yeah, better not let us down." Riku added. Kairi walked to him.

"You're still a lazy bum. Always act before you think." She giggled.

"Hey." Sora playfully glared.

"You sound like this baka. Only I think you're smarter." Sher smirked, earning a glare from her blonde-haired teammate.

"Yeah, yeah." Naruto said, deciding not to get into a fight. Yen Sid silently smiled.

"Sora, you must focus on regaining your lost power of waking." He then turns to Naruto. "And Naruto, you must aid him, Donald and Goofy. Perhaps you two could learn with each other." He turns to Kairi.

"Kairi, you have trained long enough so you go in a different gummi ship. Sakura will accompany you and will gain powers as well. The other Gummi ship is in Twilight town. You will retrieve it from my good friend Ludwig Von Drake. Sora will drop you off there." Kairi and Sakura looked at each other and smiled. They have a feeling they're gonna have a good relationship.

"Mickey and Riku, I recall that Master Aqua journeyed to many worlds, and connected with others who could be the link we need."

"Good plan, sir." Mickey answered back. They hope this time they are successful "Riku and I will retrace her steps and see if we can find any sort of clues, but first..."

"Hmm?" Master Yen Sid ponder what seemed to be the trouble as Mickey approached his desk.

"We got hit pretty hard in the realm of darkness." He walks closer to Yen Sid's table. "My Keyblade was damaged, and the Heartless broke Riku's clean in half. So, we're gonna need to get replacements before we can continue." Yen Sid nodded.

"In that case, rendezvous with Lea, He is stationed at Radiant Garden after he accomplished his training with Kairi under Merlin.

"Yes, Sir!" Mickey saluted.

"Also, I would like you to deliver this for me." He waves a hand over the table, a red briefcase appears. "This is a special vestment for him. It'll shield him from the darkness."

"We got 'em," Mickey nodded, and Riku stepped forward to take the briefcase.

"What?" Sora whined. No fair! What about my outfit, Master?"

"Sora, Don't bug him like." Donald Scolded.

"Donald's right." Kairi agreed. "Show some respect."

"Settle down. I have new clothes for you and Kairi, too, Sora."

"Yeah?" Sora said excitedly "A gift from the good fairies."

"I knew you'd come through for me. Thanks!"

"Those are no ordinary garments, Sora, like before, they have very special powers, so it took extra time to prepare them. In addition, there is a gift from Chip and Dale inside."

"Cool. Okay!" Sora exclaimed. He gave Kairi her briefcase. She thanked him.

"Happy now, Sora?" Asked Riku.

"Yep."

"Now, you are all ready to proceed." Yen Sid told them. Suddenly a cricket jumped on the table.

"Hey, Wait, don't forget about me." He cried. Sora, Donald and Goofy cheered.

"Jiminy!"

"Every journey worth goin' on needs a cricket to keep track of it." Jiminy said to them, "And I can't let ya start this one without ol' Jiminy Cricket by your side."

"The whole team's back!" Goofy said.

"Yeah, and with our new friend Naruto by our side, Xehanort is history." Sora said.

"Believe it!" Naruto exclaimed with a raised fist. Sakura rolled her eyes.

"Good." Yen Sid said. "Now, to mark the beginning of a new journey, I wish for you to have this, Sora." With a wave of his hand, he produced something in Sora's free hand. It looked like a shield-shaped charm of sorts, with a silver rim and a magenta face, along with a familiar symbol on the face.

"Okay? Sora said in confusion.

"That is a Heartbinder." Yen Sid explained, "Think of it as a good luck charm made just for you. You have a gift, Sora, for connecting with others, and this makes that gift stronger." Sora nodded.

"It's time to go." Mickey nodded and bowed to Yen Sid then they stopped to listen to his whispered voice.

"May your heart be your guiding key..." Sora, Donald, and Goofy huddled to themselves.

"See?" Goofy asked. Sora nodded and they head out. Sakura and Kairi walked with them. Mickey turned to Yen Sid.

"Riku, wait for me outside. I need to talk to Master Yen Sid for a minute." He said. Riku nodded and walked out. Mickey turned to his monster.

"You sure this is wise, Master? Having Naruto go with Sora. I mean what if the Fox takes over?"

"Mickey..." Yen Sid began. "I understand your concern but Naruto and Sakura are in the universe we are victorious. I've seen other visions and every one of them has Xehanort winning."

"But, what if they find out about their connection?" Asked Mickey. Yen Sid closed his eyes.

"I feel that it's time for them to know about Sora's true heritage. And in due time... both Naruto and Sakura will master the Keyblade."


Huh? What does Yen Sid mean? Why is Sora and Naruto connected. And when will Naruto and Sakura get their Keyblades? Well we'll find out in later chapters. And yes, Ludwig Von Drake will make an appearance. Which Disney world would you like to see Kairi and Sakura go too? Please review and until then, see ya.
