(I know it's been a long time since I made a new Naruto Fic, but that's because I was brainstorming on what I really wanted to do for my next one. And now I've decided to go Ben 10. I've seen a lot of them under the category involving Naruto receiving the Omnitrix, or one character landing in the others world. I'm going with the first one here. As always I don't expect it to be flawless, but I'm willing to give it a try. Enjoy my first chapter, and I hope you enjoy it.)

Naruto Uzumaki had been in bed at his old apartment. He looked out his window thinking to himself, 'It's been only a few days since we got back from Wave, and I still can't get over what happened. Imagine them calling me a hero. Sure I convinced the people to stand up for what they believed in, but I always thought being a hero meant you had to defeat an enemy.'

He gazed up at the night sky seeing all the stars, 'Is there truly an answer for what it means to be a hero?' he suddenly noticed one of the stars appeared to be moving. He sat up and looked out his window further to see the star looked as if it was falling, "What is that?" he asked himself, as the star started look like a flaming bullet that fell right into the forest area of Konoha.

"Whoa, it landed?" he started pondering, "I wonder what that was? Maybe I should check it out." he got out of bed and changed into his orange jumpsuit. After dawning his headband, he slipped on his sandals and went out the door.

Naruto jumped along the buildings of his village through the night, before reaching the forest area, "It should've landed somewhere around here." he said, as he searched around before coming upon a crater in the earth.

Narto approached cautiously, before seeing in the center of the crater looked like a small metal pod. He looked down at the pod inspecting it, "What is this thing?" he tapped it with a kunai, and backed away expecting a reaction from it. When he saw nothing happened he chuckled to himself feeling he was fretting over nothing, until he heard the pod opening up and releasing steam.

Naruto worried at what was about to happen armed himself with his kunai before seeing something emerge from the pod. Though with the steam pouring out, he wasn't sure what it was. When the steam vanished he saw it was a little creature approximately five inches tall. It looked like a bipedal frig-like amphibian with large, bulbous, green eyes with thin lines for pupils.

"Oh, that was an uncomfortable landing." the creature answered, before he looked up seeing Naruto looking down at him in shock, "Greetings. I am Azmuth of the planet Galvan Prime. And I need your help." he blinked, with his eyes closing horizontally from both sides of his eyes.

The reaction he got from Naruto, was the boy screaming in fright, which knocked the creature off his small legs. Naruto backed away while trembling, "What the hell, what are you?!" he panicked.

The creature groaned, as he got up, "You need to calm down, I'm not going to hurt you. Though after that outburst I wouldn't mind taking a few swings." he grumbled to himself.

Naruto still trembling as he backed away tripped on a rock and fell on his back. The little creature climbed up onto Naruto's chest and looked down at him, "Are you finished?" he asked rhetorically. Naruto cringed and nodded, still nervous about what he was talking to, "Good. Now let me start over." he jumped off Naruto's chest, so Naruto could sit up.

"As I was saying my name is Azmuth, and I come from the planet Galvan Prime." he began again.

"Planet?" Naruto asked in confusion, before looking up at the sky, "You mean you're an alien?"

"To you I am, yes." he answered.

"Are you going to probe me?" Naruto asked in worry.

Azmuth groaned with a roll of his eyes, "Where would you get an idea like that?"

"I don't know." Naruto answered with a shrug, much to Azmuth's irritation.

"Anyway I am looking for someone and I require your assistance."

"Looking for someone, who?" Naruto asked.

"I am looking for one known as Naruto Uzumaki," the alien explained, "Do you know where I might find him?"

"Uh, that would be me." Naruto pointed to himself.

Azmuth looked at Naruto while analyzing him, "Well, then the easy part is done."

"Easy part?" Naruto wondered, "And why were you looking for me?"

Before Azmuth could answer, they both heard incoming footsteps, "I'll explain later. Right now we should go someplace less conspicuous."

"Uh, right," Naruto agreed, as he picked Azmuth and put him on his shoulder, "Hang on tight."

"Wait, we can't leave my pod." Azmuth pleaded.

Naruto sighed as he tried to pick it up only for his eyes to bulge up and cry as his hands were burning up, "HOT!" he waved his hands around to cool them down. He then removed his orange jacket and wrapped it around the pod. He was able to pick it up without getting burned and ran off with Azmuth quickly before Anbu arrived.

"See anything?" one asked another.

"Over there." the second said, as the group went to the crater.

They saw the burned spot in the center where the pod was, "What could've landed here?"

"I don't know."

"We report report this to Sandaime-sama, right away." another said, as they took off.

Meanwhile, Naruto managed to get back to his apartment where he placed Azmuth's pod in the center of his room on the floor as it rested atop his jacket. Naruto sat on his bed panting in relief, as Azmuth stood at his side, "That was a close one." Naruto panted.

"Too close," Azmuth said, "I must say you run exceptionally fast for a human."

"Been doing it since I learned how to walk, and it's really come in handy. Don't ask why." Naruto said.

Azmuth nodded and got down to business, "Back on track. Naruto, I've come here to earth because I am in need of your help."

"What do you want with a guy like me?" Naruto asked, "And how did you even know my name or even to come here?"

"This may be a shock to you, but this isn't my first time on planet earth."

"You've been here before?"

"Yes. Well, not here in this ninja land per say, but in another section of planet earth that this side of the planet detached itself from and has not moved on so far in terms of technology and weaponry."

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Naruto said, feeling clueless.

"Of course you don't. My intellect far outweighs yours or anyone else on this planet." Azmuth replied.

"Ok, don't start insulting me, and tell me how you know me."

"As I was saying," Azmuth continued, "I came back to planet earth after millennia because I desire someone to wield my greatest to creation and protect this planet from the threat of invading forces that desire to conquer this planet."

"Invading forces?" Naruto gasped.

"Correct, as for how I know you. I've done a background check of this planets current inhabitants and searched for a human similar to the last hero of this planet who wielded my greatest creation."

"Creation, what's that?" Naruto wondered.

"Allow me to show you." Azmuth jumped off the bed, and went to his pod opening it up. He picked something up and climbed back onto the bed. He placed what he was carrying on the bed, as Naruto looked at it.

It looked like a wrist watch with a squared face plate and had a white and green color scheme. The faceplate was black with two green stripes forming an outline of an hourglass.

"Is this a watch?" Naruto asked, feeling unimpressed.

"You dimwit boy!" Azmuth scolded him, "This watch as you call it is one of the most powerful creations in the universe, created by me. I call it the Omnitrix."

"Omnitrix?" Naruto asked.

"Yes, I designed it to be a tool to help understand all matter of life out in the galaxy by giving the wearer of it to walk in the shoes so to speak of other life forms." the genius explained.

"Other life forms? You mean there are other aliens out there?" Naruto gasped, while looking up at the sky.

"Precisely," Azmuth confirmed, "However, the Omnitrix attracted a whole galaxy worthy of tyrants who sought to use the Omnitrix for means of war and conquering. To protect it from harm I sent it via escape pod to planet earth where it was discovered by a ten year old boy who went by the name of Ben Tennyson."

"Ok." Naruto said, feeling there's more.

"When Ben first dawned the Omnitrix he used it's function to become several alien species whose DNA were stored into it to become a hero."

"A hero? That sounds cool!" Naruto grinned.

"Yes, when he himself wasn't causing the trouble himself." Azmuth mumbled to himself.

"What do you mean?"

"I'll get to that later, but while he used the Omnitrix for heroic deeds he also attracted the attention of several of the galaxies infamous criminals, bounty hunters, and warlords."

"Yikes."

"However as time passed, Ben continued to wield the Omnitrix like a master. Thanks to his efforts he actually managed to save the planet if not the galaxy a multitude of times."

"This Ben sounds totally cool when you put it that way." Naruto said, feeling more admired.

"Yes he was," Azmuth admitted, "Anyway, I chose you to become the new wielder of this Omnitrix because both you and Ben share multiple similar characteristics."

"Such as?" Naruto inquired.

"Both of you are immature, clumsy, cocky, reckless, lack respect for highly respectable superiors, and disregard orders strictly given." he explained.

"Gee, thanks." Naruto answered sarcastically.

"But," Azmuth continued, "Both of you are headstrong, good-hearted, and sincere. Willing to put aside your own needs to help others, and fight for what you believe in. It became apparent to me that the universe needed more people like Ben. Then enters you. With proper motivation I feel you will become a worthy successor to Ben Tennyson."

"You think so?" Naruto asked.

"I do. Because I feel this planet will need a hero of the Omnitrix once again as it did in the past."

"Why's that?"

"Because I believe that there are still forces out there looking to take planet earth for their own."

"Really?" Naruto asked and Azmuth nodded.

"Yes. And I require you to help me in protecting this planet by wielding the Omnitrix as Ben did years ago."

"But how does it even work?" Naruto asked as he looked at the watch.

"I will teach you how to use it along with every alien species stored into it. Do you accept this task Naruto Uzumaki, even with all the dangers and risks that will come with it?"

Naruto pondered on Azmuth's question, and thought, 'This is all just too freaking weird. Here I am talking to an alien who wants me to use some important alien creation to help save the planet from some threat he feels is out there. But Azmuth said I may be the only on capable of wielding the Omnitrix's power. He gave me more credit than my own team does. And if I do accept this, maybe I could become a hero like this Ben guy. Plus maybe doing this will answer my question as to what it means to be a true hero.'

Naruto looked at Azmuth and answered, "Azmuth, I accept."

Azmuth cracked a smile, "Definitely like Ben."

"So when do we begin?"

"Tomorrow, so I suggest you get some sleep, because we've got a lot of work ahead of us."

"I can't wait." Naruto said, as he went to bed, while Azmuth went back to his pod and typed onto a keyboard.

Azmuth spoke to it, "He's accepted the offer. Now we can begin."

(And that's the opening. I will clear things out here. Naruto will only have access to ten aliens at this point and will receive new ones down the road. As for keeping it a secret, well instead of doing it like how young Ben kept it a secret he will use it to combat his enemies. Because let's face it in the Chunin Exams there's no way he'd be able to keep it a secret. Just enjoy this opener and look forward to Naruto learning about Ben and the Omnitrix from Azmuth. See you around.)
