Some notes before we begin. As many people know offline (and online if you check my profile) one of my all-time favorite series to ever exist is the Stargate franchise. I absolutely loved SG-1, I practically grew up with it, especially when I could watch it on what was then UPN (yeah I'm dating myself a little there, but my local UPN showed it on the weekends). I mean the last year or so I've been getting all 10 seasons from Netflix just to watch again. Atlantis was a great spin-off that could have gone another season personally, but whatever. I own all 5 seasons of that, and I love it so. Best purchases I ever made at Wal-Mart. Universe could have been better for the second season, but given the fact that they got gypped by the guys at NBC-Universal they didn't get that third season they were depending on to finish up the story properly and had to do a shoddy mid-season finale. But I digress.

Now Naruto is one of my favorite shounen series that, again, I grew up with. In fact, it was one of my first manga series that I got, thanks to my cousin, great guy him. Thanks to him, and Naruto, I got into manga and anime other than Pokémon. I mean I own the first two volumes as well as two later Shippuden manga, though I read the rest online. Seriously, that has 72 volumes and running at close to US$10 a pop (assuming I don't get them for less on Amazon) leaves me with a close to a US$720 deficit, before tax. And shipping. Yeah, my wallet will have none of that. I mean I got the ten volumes of Black Lagoon at a steal, but that is thanks to my work giving me money at a raffle and the membership to Barnes and Noble that my parents forgot about, so discount. But again, I digress.

So a thought came to me one day while trying to get my computer to work, "What if I combined Naruto and the Stargate franchise for a fanfic?" Well, this ladies and gents brought up some interesting questions like "how?" and "where?" Well, I think I have those answered enough in my mind to write up this pilot chapter to test the waters. I have seen others write this crossover and they have done fine, with the exception of one guy who blatantly ripped off another's work completely and didn't even say "hey I borrowed this opening" or anything. Yeah, that's plagiarism pal. So here's how this is going to go… no, wait… I'm going to let Naruto do all that expositional shit, not me. Gives you a bit of an incentive to read, now doesn't it *insert wry grin here*? But I will say there will be divergences from the Naruto canon.

BIG OL' DISCLAIMERS: I only own my laptop and my copy of MS Word. I do not own Stargate as it belongs to MGM and NBC-Universal, though I'd be honored to take it from them if they'd let me. No? Damn. I also don't own the Naruto franchise, that belongs to VIZ Media and Masashi Kishimoto. For full disclaimer see the foreword.

Rating: T for a nongraphic reference to sex. May not escalate beyond that if continued into a series.

Now that's all taken care of, let's get this show on the road!

Naruto Uzumaki didn't have the greatest of lives. Sure he had a mother and father, as well as two younger sisters, however, no matter what Naruto did he was never seen as a success in his parents' eyes. When Naruto was born it was a joyous occasion in Konoha, all the heads of family clans and their spouses came to see the newborn blond boy. Many of the villagers labeled him as the 'Honorable Son' from the get-go. While his father Minato was the Hokage the child would be treated as a prince, though this would be completely true due to his mother's lineage. Five years would pass before the conception of Naruto's twin sisters, who would be born that October, came to be. The almost six-year-old would witness something that would be ingrained in his memory for years to come: the attack of the Kyuubi no Kitsune, or the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.

That day lead to many deaths of shinobi and civilians that were not evacuated to the shelters, some of which were under the Hokage monument, others under the main houses of major clans like the Uchiha and Hyuuga. When the smoke cleared hours later Minato emerged victorious with his wife who had sealed the demon fox into his twin daughters, at the price of Sarutobi Hiruzen's life. This would be the day that changed Naruto's life for the worse. Ten more years would pass. Over these years Naruto was neglected by his parents for his sisters. He asked for help for his homework from the Academy, he received none. He asked for pointers for his taijutsu lessons, again he received none. Any lessons or teaching that happened from his parents went to his twin sisters. He failed the final exam numerous times before he had enough, he quit. The 'Honorable Son' had become 'The Rejected Son'.

One night while Naruto was borderline brooding on what he should do with his life, he was abducted by shinobi from the Land of Lightning in the dead of night. Unable to fight back, due to being tranquilized, the ninja snuck him out of the village before they reached the border. That's when something strange happened, the boy disappeared in a white light and musical tones. At first, the kidnappers thought that Konoha's Yellow Flash had caught up to them, but their fears were alleviated as none of them lay dead, however, the boy was gone. Days later a search team made of Aburame and Inuzaka trackers made their way to the site that Naruto had disappeared at only to find the same kidnappers still looking for the child. The ones that they didn't kill were interrogated, telling what they saw: a white light and musical tones took the child away. The night Naruto disappeared would be the last time for close to another decade before he would be seen again by the ninja of Konoha or his family.

When Naruto awoke he was restrained, but not in the normal sense. He was floating while green orbs orbited him. When he was able to move his head he saw a little gray man with big black eyes, a wiry body, and an oversized head.

"Interesting, all other subjects were asleep when they arrived," the being said.

"Who. Are. You?" Naruto managed to growl out through his mostly forced shut jaw.

"I am Loki of the Asgard," it replied looking at a holographic screen.

"What do you want with me?" he strained.

"You are part of an experiment. Please hold still so my scans can finish so I may return you," Loki replied distantly.

"Why?"

Loki paused for a moment, "Your species may have the answers for which I seek: the salvation of my race."

Naruto then passed out. Whether it was from the Asgard named Loki putting him back under or from the exhaustion from being kidnapped, he did not know. Days would pass until he would be discovered by the Asgard named Thor, Supreme Commander of the Asgard fleet. When Naruto awoke he was surprised, to say the least, the sixteen-year-old boy had aged a year physically. Thor had said it had to do with the meddling that Loki had done with his genetic code when scanning him. The conversation between the two got interesting when Thor had said he could return Naruto home.

"No," Naruto said firmly.

"Why not, young one?" Thor asked. "Surely your progenitors worry about your disappearance."

"They would if they cared." Naruto looked down sullenly. When he looked up he saw the Asgardian looking at him in interest, as if to continue. "You see they favor my twin sisters over me. They ignore me really." He then went on to describe his home life, while it wasn't the worst thing that Thor had heard about, even on goa'uld worlds, it was still saddening to the being that outwardly showed no emotions.

"What if I told you there was an alternative?" Thor asked.

"I would most likely take it."

"I know of humans of your homeworld that know of my race, as well as other races among the galaxy. If I were to take you to them, they could grant you sanctuary."

"There's a catch, isn't there?"

"You definitely have learned well from your ninja society. There is one. They may ask for genetic or blood samples to study as they are in the field of protecting Earth from the goa'uld. Any research material that you give them could aid them in the defense of the planet and its people. While my species does protect this world, we may not be doing so for much longer as there are so few of us than there used to be millennia ago."

"You are dying off," Naruto said with realization.

"Indeed. We used to procreate as your species and many other sentient species do, but now we use cloned bodies that house our consciousness. Eventually, these bodies will break down if a solution is not found first," Thor trailed off in thought.

Naruto thought long and hard. What was literally spitting in a cup and maybe giving a few bags of blood if it meant defense of the world against an alien onslaught. Naruto saw recordings of what the goa'uld did to worlds, wiping out civilizations out from orbit; even the shinobi of his and other countries cannot withstand that. The Elemental Countries were isolated from the Outer Countries behind a barrier erected by the Sage of the Six Paths himself. Only those with chakra could pass through either side of the barrier, but with the right tools, one would be able to see the Elemental Countries right from orbit without their knowing. While Naruto despised his parents, he did not hate his sisters. One does not blame one for the sins of the father, and mother in this instance. He would not be able to live with the deaths of his sisters on his conscience.

"I'll do it," Naruto replied.

"Very well," Thor replied. "Please stand still as I transport us to the SGC."

Again white appeared around Naruto as musical tones played before the scenery changed from the silver metal of Thor's ship to what looked like a bunker made of concrete, and a bunch of people who looked to be inside of a meeting. There was a bald man in a white shirt with stars on his shoulders at the head of the table. On the sides were a large dark skinned man with what looked like a gold engraving on his forehead, a blonde woman with short hair and eyes that lead to an inquisitive mind, a man who was the youngest in the group who had glasses, and finally an older man with graying hair and what looked like silver birds on his shoulders.

"Thor, buddy. Long time no see. So how are things? And, ah, who's the kid?" the gray-haired man asked.

"Greetings General Hammond, Colonel O'Neill, Major Carter, Daniel Jackson, and Teal'c," Thor replied. "To answer your question, O'Neill, this is Naruto Uzumaki of Konoha," Thor gestured to the young adult.

"Of the 'Leaf'?" Daniel asked translating the shorthand of Naruto's home city into English with a raised eyebrow.

"Indeed."

"Ok. I'll bite," O'Neill stood up. "Why'd you bring this kid to us? I mean you couldn't just take him back to where he's from, right?"

"He has requested asylum from the tau'ri instead of returning to his own people, in return he would provide genetic and blood samples for you to experiment on." Thor then proceeded to explain the origins of Naruto's birth. Daniel was shocked, to say the least, that a complete secret series of countries lay inside of a dimensional rift that made the Warring States Period of Japan's history look like a bad lover's spat. The constant wars that extinguished hundreds of thousands of lives each time a 'Shinobi World War' was enacted. To say everyone at the table was disgusted at the table was an understatement. They were even more abhorred about children as young as five years old joining the military to kill others in either full-on wars to hiring themselves out to the highest bidder when Naruto explained Academy lessons, especially what kunoichi were supposed to learn in the 'Arts of Seduction' lessons. Naruto then explained his home life where he summarized it as him returning would leave him to become some sort of husband to be wedded off in some sort of loveless political marriage or to become breeding stock if one of the freakier members of the 'Civilian Council' had their way.

Jack whistled in amazement at the end of Naruto's little lecture, "Geez kid, and here I thought one of my old war buddies had a rough childhood. I mean you weren't abused, but being neglected isn't much better."

"This 'chakra' that you spoke of, the abilities sounded a little like what the System Lord Nerti did with her experiments on making a more advanced human host," Daniel commented. "Though last time I checked Cassandra wasn't breathing fire or moving faster than the eye could see."

"Legend says that it was someone called the Sage of the Six Paths that first brought the teachings of 'ninshu' to my ancestors. Some records state that he wanted humanity to become closer together, but power hungry people used the power of chakra for war instead," Naruto said sadly.

"Are there any artistic representations of this Sage?"

"No, though legend says that he rebelled against his mother, the Demon Rabbit Goddess. It was said that she had abilities that could warp reality."

"Did he too have these abilities?"

"He and his brother to a lesser extent, why?"

"I agree. Where are you going with this Dr. Jackson?" Hammond asked.

"General, if I am correct then these three historical people could well be Ancients, possibly before they Ascended. The Sage it seems, taught about peace and harmony, something that the Ancients upheld. We all saw what happened when Jack was exposed to the Ancient Repository and other humans that had their genetic code tampered with, it isn't that far of a stretch."

"What would you recommend then?"

"We take whatever samples he lets us, keep them marked as 'Anonymous Donor' to keep him hidden from the NID, The Trust, and other agencies that would want to use him as a weapon against not only the Goau'ld but also those that are considered our allies," Daniel suggested. "We find him a host family, maybe one that's already involved with the Program preferably. Forge records that he's a foreign exchange student for school records and an orphan. Whatever he does after that is up to him."

The aging general looked into Naruto's eyes before closing his, contemplating his options. "Mr. Uzumaki. If we were to give you asylum, a new name, and identity, all for a few samples of your DNA and maybe a demonstration of your skills and all that you know of your home continent, would you do it?" Hammond asked.

Naruto also ran over his options, the little that he had that was. "If it will protect my sisters and the entire world at large, then yes, I will," Naruto replied.

"I will have the appropriate forms brought up in a few hours. But unofficially," the general stood up and extended his arm. "Welcome to the United States of America and Stargate Command."

Naruto took his hand and shook it firmly, "Thank you."

Seven years later, Konoha, Evening

It was an average day in Konohagakure no Sato, or the Village Hidden in the Leaves. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, flaming balls of death weren't falling from the sky ready to annihilate those standing below them, and the echoing scream of 'What!?' from a trio of redheads was heard throughout the village.

"What do you mean you THINK you've found him?" Kushina asked the old spymaster. "You've told us over the years your agents thought they've seen him but all that's done is send us on wild goose chases."

"This time I'm certain," Jiraiya stated. "One of my spies in the Outer Nations reported seeing a blonde, spiky-haired young man with similar physical traits seen on both yours and Minato's sides."

"Where is our onii-chan?" the blonde twin named Natsumi asked. She was the container of the yin half of the Kyuubi. Her personality was bubbly, friendly, and sweet outside of fighting. Natsumi uses indirect approaches when she fights through poison and medicine. Her misnomer is known as the "Poison Princess of Konoha".

"Yes, where is our dear brother?" the crimson haired twin named Kasumi asked flatly. She was the container of the yang half of the Kyuubi. Her personality was cold and calculating, she has a short fuse on her anger, and is generally says what's on her mind especially when it's insulting or demeaning both on and off the battlefield. Her anger inside of battle has earned her the misnomer of "The Second Coming of the Red Hot-Blooded Habanero", but behind her back she's called the "Mini-Tomato".

"According to my informant he is in the city of Colorado Springs in the state of Colorado in the country of the United States of America," Jiraiya replied.

"Well, what is he doing there of all places? Also, where is this place?" Kushina asked.

Jiraiya sighed. "According to the information that my informant's been feeding me over the years, the United States is one of the superpowers of the world along with Great Britain, Russia, and China. The United States is divided into fifty different plots of land all ruled by a governor called states, the country in a whole is ruled by a president elected by the people and he controls the entire country's military."

"But what is he DOING there?" Minato asked, annoyed at his former teacher's lecture.

"My informant looked in their civilian databases and the names 'Uzumaki Naruto' or 'Namikaze Naruto' aren't in the records."

"Then how do we know that is, in fact, our Naruto and not a person that either looks like him or some sort of doppelganger?" Kushina asked.

"I have a suggestion," said Jiraiya. Minato waved him on. "I propose we sent a scouting team to this sighting."

"Who would you suggest that we send on this borderline suicide mission? We would entering another country's sovereign soil. If we were to be found out we don't know what would happen. Jiraiya, why is this nation considered a superpower?" Minato asked.

"Because of the weaponry and weapon technology that they possess. They and several other countries possess a weapon that can easily wipe an entire city such as ours off the map completely and leave the land uninhabitable for well over forty years for miles around, assuming the land survives at all."

"Then I suggest we exercise extreme caution with whoever send." Minato got a nod of agreement from Jiraiya.

"I would recommend sending one of your daughters if this is, in fact, Naruto he will react less violently with one of them as he never had any ill intentions towards them. I will leave you to decide on that. As for who else, obviously you can't leave as you are the Hokage and with the escalation of tensions in the Mist you will be needed here as a certain 'Mummy' would like to attempt to take control while you are gone. It would be a bad idea to send Kushina as-."

"Why shouldn't I go? He's my child," Kushina asked angrily.

"Do you know why he left the house before being nabbed?" asked Jiraiya. He got two 'no' shaking heads. "He was angry at pretty much being ignored for the twins. While I do not blame you two entirely as the twins did need to learn how to control the Kyuubi's power, you have to see this from his perspective too. You two were the source of his anger and frustrations. I heard what the Council was attempting to have done with him, and I don't entire blame him from running away: the CRA. If he were to see you two he might think you're trying to bring him back to be a 'stud.'"

"We would never-!"

"I know you wouldn't. However, these are just my suggestions, nothing more. As for the rest, I would suggest someone from the Aburame or Inuzaka clans for their tracking capabilities or even a Hyuuga. If you can find any girls that were sweet on him that would be an even bigger bonus."

"I will take your suggestions into consideration. You are all dismissed." As everyone left the office of the Hokage, Minato rubbed his temples, this was going to be a long night.

Two weeks later in Colorado Springs, early morning

"Mmmm, Nathan," a woman cooed. "Please tell me you don't have to get up yet," she said sweetly as she tried to press her nude, lithe body against her lover's.

"Sorry sweetheart, but if I don't show up then I'll be declared AWOL, and we both don't want that," Nathan replied as he tried to get up, but was stopped as the woman gripped his arm and pressed Nathan's arm between her breasts.

"But I won't get to see you for three whole days," she pouted.

"What are you talking about? You'll be able to see me during meal times when I'm on base."

"Yes, but we won't get to do anything other than seeing each other."

Nathan leaned over and kissed her passionately, "I know, Tiff. But that's just the way our life is. Now come on, we need to get up and going to report to the SGC, me to the Colonel and you to Dr. Li."

One hour, and one extended steamy shower later, the couple made the drive to the Cheyenne Mountain Complex. Nathan arrived in the office of Colonel Mitchell.

"Welcome back Sargent. Enjoy your weekend?" Mitchell asked while handing over a file folder.

"If by the weekend you mean three generic days off filled with binging on Netflix with my other half, then yes," Nathan replied taking the folder. "What's the mission?"

"You and your squad will be checking out P3X-2105 for possible signs of Ancient tech. One of Teal'c's off world informants said there may be a treasure trove of Ancient stuff there."

"Sounds like fun." He then closed the folder and placed it on the table, "When do we leave?"

"1400 hours today."

XxXxXxX

Outside Cheyenne Mountain Complex, 1330 hours.

To say it was a rough two weeks for the shinobi team assigned to contact and retrieve Naruto was an understatement. It took a week of straight sailing to the coast of California, and that was by using water jutsu to propel the ship that they used to a relatively fast speed that a motor or sail boat would never achieve. They had to have several shinobi going around in shifts to keep the boat on course and at speed to get them to shore before their supplies ran out. Then, due to a lack of foresight, they didn't pack enough money to get them to Colorado Springs, that, and none of them spoke a shred of English. So they had to walk. It wouldn't have been that bad if it weren't for the fact that they had to walk across a desert followed by an entire mountain range. The altitude sickness was the worst of it, causing them to slow down to acclimate to the altitude. Finally, they made it to the small city that was Colorado Springs, the winter covered town.

They saw a person that looked like Naruto and followed him to what a tunnel in a mountain to which he went inside a tunnel wearing a set of olive drab clothing that when they looked at the others in the general area, was a uniform. He walked inside and the shinobi team followed him from the shadows. It became apparent to them, as the snuck lower and lower into this facility that it became more and more difficult to follow him closely. Therefore, the decision was made to tag him with a chakra locator tag. He wandered around until he went to an armory of sorts before meeting up with three other people in a large room whose roof was hundreds of feet above them as well as a ring with symbols on an inner ring inside of the ring.

Natsumi peeked out to get a clear look at the person she thought was her brother and, for a moment, he looked right at the corner they were hiding in inside of a genjutsu. They then heard a booming voice over a speaker talking about starting something.

The ring on the inner portion began spinning and stopped on one of the symbols and the same voice said, "Chevron one encoded," as one of the orange triangles lit up.

Each of these 'chevrons' lit up in a sequence, that the four ninjas could tell, but for what exactly? Finally, the man on the loudspeaker said, "Chevron seven, encoded. Locked."

Then the most confusing, amazing, and somewhat beautiful thing happened. The inside of the ring, which was once hollow and empty, was filled with what looked like water that gushed outward before falling back in on itself forming a pool of standing water that seemed to defy all logic and reasoning. Then a second voice came over the speaker, "SG-25, you are clear for embarkation. Good luck and godspeed."

The four-person squad moved towards the shimmering 'pool' of 'water' and one by one they walked right into it and they didn't reappear on the other side, as the sensor of the group could tell, and signed. The shinobi squad had to think and move quickly, Naruto was standing at the edge and was about to walk through when he stopped for a moment and looked around the room before shrugging it off and walked through. The shinobi then made their decision and sprinted at top speed towards the pool of water with chakra enhanced running. By the time the alarms went off in the control room alerting the base of an intruder the four-person shinobi team was already through the Stargate.

What the Namikaze twins, the Hyuuga girl, and the Nara heir saw would remain for them in their memories for years to come. This water didn't act like water it as it looked like there was another sun on the other side, however, they went through it though as it were water and not something else. A swirling vortex appeared colored in blues, whites, and blacks that eventually made way for a white flash. Points of light then lined up in a line from left to right as they sped past them. Two blue panes appeared at the top and bottom of their vision as the lights continued to speed past them, they twisted and turned as a light or two came close enough to 'blind' them. Finally, they headed straight for one of the lights and passed into it.

On the other side Nathan Yamada, son of deceased parents of the Yamada family and formerly known as Naruto Namikaze, came through the Stargate like normal. He had gone through it enough time to learn a few things about the strange, alien device. First: never hold your breath even though your mind tells you to as you go across the Event Horizon. Second: to limit vertigo, outside of a combat situation where a tactical retreat is needed, closing your eyes as you enter helps reduce the visual overload some experience while traveling through the wormhole, regardless of the demolecularization. Third: Always keep walking once you get through at least three steps, you don't want yourself half inside a Stargate when it's about to deactivate unless you want to die for some reason.

This is what kept Naruto alive through his missions that he was given. He walked down the stairs that the Stargate sat raised upon and joined his squad when he heard several people fall over in the tell-tale sign of an 'oof' as they fell on top of each other. He and his squad turned around and pointed their weapons at these new persons, startling their informant. These four people managed to clear the Stargate before it closed on any part of them as they were sort of thrown from the gate. Naruto looked down at these newcomers, weapon in hand, and froze as he recognized several of these people.

One of his subordinates noticed and asked, "You ok, Sarge?" Noticing his eyes pointed towards two of the people, girls at that, he then asked, "You know them or something?"

"You could say that," Naruto replied, "those two are my sisters."

To be continued...?

XxXxXxX

Alright, that's all I have for this pilot. Why did I cut it off so abruptly? Well, I've been keeping this one on my hard drive for over a year, if not longer (but I can't really see the original metadata as it's saved on my OneDrive originally and not my HDD where it was originally created). Plus, I thought I would mix it up a little. If you have been reading all of my pilots that I've posted here in my repository you might recognize the similarities between this one and the one I dubbed "Prodigal" a while back, it came from the same mindset as I created the files for both stories around the same time.

What's keeping me from doing this as a full-on saga-style story? Time, having to create new storylines and an alternate universe for both Stargate and Naruto as Naruto wasn't involved with Konoha after he left at all and so far I don't know how Naruto's DNA has affected the SGC and the Tau'ri allies as a whole as that would be something that I would have to create, and not wanting to do too many stories as series as possible so that I can focus on creating quality content for all of it.

Will I come back to this? I don't know honestly. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. I'll let you guys decide as I don't want to make this one whole cliché story like I've seen time and time again; I want to make this my own like I have done with many of my stories I've written for this site even though they may share similar elements with others. But that's just my thoughts on it.

Until next time!
