Chapter 1: King of Conquerors Reborn
I do not own Naruto or any of Type-Moon's products
-The Day of the First Exam-
"Ugh," Naruto groaned, turning over in bed, the whiskered redhead blinked twice to clear the sleep in his eyes as he sat up in his bed to look at the wall in front of him duly. It was another day in his annoying life as the pariah of the Village Hidden in Leaves, he bet himself that Sasuke would be getting all the attention today as usual, plus all the secret training that Kakashi was giving him; oh yeah, Naruto knew, he had after all stumbled upon them after the mission to Wave to find the cyclopean teaching the ungrateful Uchiha an A-rank fire jutsu.
After deciding that no one would want him for anything after the fight he had with his lazy sensei the other day he decided that he would try to get away with taking a sick day, he rolled over and went right back to sleep, not caring that he'd probably get hit by Sakura today for being late.
A few hours later his nap was interrupted, first by loud banging on his apartment's door, which he ignored by rolling over, then he groaned as a loud shouting filled the air.
"NARUTO-BAKA!" Sakura Haruno, his pink haired teammate and almost former crush screeched as she slammed open his door, he really needed to get that lock fixed, her jade green eyes wild with rage and her aura actually visible due to the rage she was feeling towards her redhead teammate.
Before the boy had a chance to sit up and mumble a puzzled, "Sakura-chan?" His supposed kunoichi teammate stormed into his room and turned over his bed, flipping him off the mattress onto the hardwood floor beneath him.
He got as far as blinking, sitting up from his new position, and muttering a puzzled "Saku..." before the pink banshee hauled him to his feet by the front of his nightclothes and began shouting in his face. "SHUT UP YOU RETARDED MONKEY! WE HAVE ONLY TEN MINUTES BEFORE THE EXAM STARTS SO GET YOUR ASS MOVING BAKA!"
Quickly pulling on his orange and blue jacket and pants, the red haired boy swiftly followed his irritated teammate out into the street and towards the Academy building where the Exams would be taking place. After a lot of Sakura's ogling of their brooding Uchiha teammate, a groaning Naruto followed them into the building, where there was the disguised eternal gate guard chunins standing by a door under an illusion, trying to turn the test hopefuls that weren't ready, away.
The boy watched on awestruck, as a bushy browed young individual dressed in spandex, like everyone else challenged his Uchiha teammate. Though the way he did so impressed the redhead somewhat, he wanted to prove that anyone could beat a genius with hard work.
The Uzumaki boy then tiredly followed after his two teammates, after being introduced to the Glory of Youth by Rock Lee and a man that could have passed as his father, until they reached the testing room.
"Oh good, all of you decided to come," a clearly bored voice said as the three finally reached the door of the classroom.
Team Seven turned to find their usually late sensei standing in front of them giving them an eyesmile since his lower face was covered with a mask, "What do you mean it's good that we all came?" The usual book smartish, Sakura, asked.
"I mean that if any of you guys failed to show up the rest of you would not have been allowed to participate in the exam since the first two parts are team efforts," Kakashi said as he whipped out his orange backed smut.
Sasuke snorted self righteously at the silver haired man's words and was about to boast about how he wouldn't need a team since he was a 'great' Uchiha, had the porn obsessed Hatake not shooed them into the examination room wishing them, Sasuke, good luck.
The sight that greeted them was the room's inhabitants sending different levels of killing intent in their direction, but Sasuke of course, grew more excited instead of the terror the foreign teams were hoping for, 'So many tough opponents to test my power. I shall soon be able to face HIM…' Sasuke thought.
Before he could think further on the topic, the Uchiha heir was instantly interrupted by a flying mass of blonde and purple slamming into his back, "Hey cutie where ya been?"
"Damnit Ino-pig! Unhand Sasuke-kun this instant!" Sakura yelled in her righteous fangirl fury as she stared at her rival pressing her high A-Cup breasts into her crush's back. "Oh piss off Forehead!" Ino retorted while sticking her tongue out at her rival with her middle finger pulling down her eyelid, the three of them not noticing the tired look on Naruto's face as they were absorbed into a who was Sasuke's future wife arguement.
"Troublesome… so you guys are taking this test too," grumbled Shikamaru as he and his best friend Choji lazily walked over to join the loud group, Shikamaru looking like he had just woken up and the chubby boy next to him munching away at the bag of chips in his hand.
"HA! Found you losers!" Called a feral looking boy with a small white puppy sitting on his head.
"Mutts here too?" Sasuke asked with an arrogant grunt as he looked at his old classmates, "So all the rookie teams got nominated, this will be easier than I thought."
"You know, you guys really should keep it down," came a voice from behind them, turning they found a silver haired teen with glasses standing behind the Rookie Nine. "You're the rookies right? Screaming like little girls, sheesh."
"I'm Kabuto by the way."
"I take it this isn't your first time taking this exam." Sasuke said as he looked at the way the silver haired teen diffused the situation. "Very astute Uchiha-san, this is my seventh time actually." He answered getting a snicker from Kiba.
"Wow, then you must know a lot about this exam," Sakura spoke.
"Sure do, I have collected enough information on the Exams and their Participants for a whole deck of Ninja Info Cards," the elder genin stated proudly while holding up a deck of bluish cards. "Here let me show you," before channeling some chakra to reveal the info on the card, showing a graph with a picture on the upper right corner, "This is the card I use for the number of participants and which village or organizations they hail from, this year we have Twenty-Nine teams from our beloved village, Ten from Sunagakure, Seven from Amegakure, Two from Kusagakure and One from the newly formed Otogakure."
"Do you have anything on individuals?" Sasuke asked, interested on what he could get from the spandex wearing boy that beat him up and the sand using boy from the other day.
"Sure do, though it's not completely perfect, got anyone in mind?" Kabuto asked as he got a glint in his eyes at being able to show off his hard work.
"Sabaku no Gaara and Rock Lee."
"You know their names hmm? That's too easy," he muttered a bit put out at not getting a challenge while grabbing two cards out of the deck.

"The scariest part is," Kabuto said, gaining the attention of the gathered Chunin Hopefuls. "Gaara has never even been scratched on a single mission." The silver haired boy began returning the cards to the deck, "anyone else?"
After a couple shakes of the head with Naruto having joined his old buddy Shikamaru in sleeping on the desks. Well, that is before they were woken up by a large blast of smoke at the front of the room.
"Alright maggots," a tall man wearing a black trench coat yelled out as he appeared in the front of the room, catching everyone's attention. "Quit your lollygagging, it's time for the exams to start."
-The Forest of Death; Six Hours Later-
Naruto panted in complete exhaustion, he was standing with his arms and legs spread out, blocking the giant snake that the missing nin Orochimaru had summoned from eating his teammate Sasuke, like he had almost been half an hour before with his own snake that he had spammed the inside of with his clones. His whisker marks were thicker and darker than usual, his canines sharper and his fingernails more claw-like, signs of the Kyuubi's interference. Naruto himself was a short boy and he had sky blue eyes and crimson, spiky hair. Naruto's most prominent features, however, were the three whisker birthmarks on each cheek. His clothes consist of an orange tracksuit with blue on the shoulders area, a white swirl with a tassel on the left side, a red Uzumaki swirl on the back, a large white collar, orange pants with a shuriken holster on his right thigh, blue sandals and a blue forehead protector that was given to him by his older brother figure, Iruka Umino.
So far since his rude awakening this morning by Sakura, his day had just been getting weirder and weirder, transferring from an unbreakable sunset genjutsu to a freaky lady proctor that liked drinking his blood to being eaten by a massive snake and now to be facing the Snake Sannin of all people.
"That's it? That's all Orochimaru of the Three Sannin's got?" Naruto taunted the man as he fought to keep the snake at bay and he turned his head to use his ruby red eyes to glare a hole into the man's yellow own. "A bunch of overgrown garden snakes?"
"Why you little piece of Leaf garbage!" Orochimaru snarled as a tick mark appeared on his forehead. "How dare you insult the greatest of the Legendary Three Sannin? I'll have your head on my wall, you mongrel! Eat him and keep his bones for a toothpick!" He roared to the snake beneath him.
"You'll have to do a lot better than this guy," Naruto smirked as he spun around and stabbed the giant snake in the eye with his last kunai. The snake let out a cry of pain before poofing away in a cloud of smoke. Orochimaru just snarled as he jumped onto the branches, angry that he was being shown up by a mere genin.
Naruto panted from exhaustion. Being blown through the forest by a large Wind jutsu, being eaten by a large tree-sized snake, using the Kyuubi's chakra and holding back yet another huge snake back from eating the emo, had taken a toll on him. But he kept a smile on his face and pointed his slightly dulled knife at the traitor sannin. He took a quick glimpse at his two teammates; both Sasuke and Sakura were still frozen in fear and astonishment. Naruto turned his head slightly towards Sasuke and smiled. "You're not hurt, are you scaredy-cat?"
Naruto's taunt cut through Sasuke deeper than any blade ever could and the egotistical teen quickly snapped back to reality at the jab to his pride. Sasuke activated his Sharingan and leveled a glare at Orochimaru after mentally swearing to put Naruto in his place later. "Kukuku! Look who joined the party," Orochimaru laughed as he reached a hand towards the eyes that he coveted so much. "Those eyes… oh those beautiful red eyes. I can't wait to try them out for myself." The ending was punctuated by a high pitched girly squeal, drawing sweatdrops from Team Seven.
"What do you mean by that, filth? You're not one of the Uchiha. The Uchiha are the elite of all Shinobi. You're just a wretched old fake that squirms in the dirt at the feet of the Elite," Sasuke sneered in his usual arrogance, his ego no doubt trying to overcome the jab to his pride from his redhead teammate. He had however forgotten that his own sensei, Kakashi, had a Sharingan beneath his forehead protector/eyepatch.
"Foolish boy. You really have no idea what horrors you stand against," Orochimaru sneered.
"Bring it on, old fart!" Naruto shouted and stepped in front of Sasuke. Red chakra leaked out of Naruto's body, slowing beginning to assume a vague shape around his body into a fox-like cloak. "I can take you on, believe it!"
"Insolent brat," Orochimaru snarled as he shook in anger and then sank into the tree trunk. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura searched the trees for him, but there was no trace of the traitorous Sannin.
"I guess he took off," Naruto smirked. He spun his kunai around his finger before returning it to his pouch. "I can't believe that guy had you and Sakura shaking in your sandals, Sasuke."
"Shut up you stupid baka! Sasuke-kun was about to destroy Orochimaru when you had to go and show him up!" screamed Sakura, the insult to her 'precious' Sasuke-kun snapping her out of her frightened daze as she punched Naruto in the face.
"What do you mean Sakura-chan? The Snake Teme had you guys terrified!" Naruto protested as he rubbed his aching crimson nogin. While the two teammates continued to bicker, Sasuke leaned against the tree and pulled a bandage onto the self-inflicted wound on his leg.
'I can't believe I froze up like that… That man's power… It was much worse than anything I've felt, it was almost like Itachi. Why the hell did I freeze up and Naruto didn't? I'm an Uchiha dammit! It must have been that red chakra that was leaking off of Naruto… That power should be mine!' Sasuke thought as he kept watch on the trees.
Sasuke stepped away from the tree trunk and was about to grab a hold of the 'dope' to get an answer about where he got that power from, when a sinister laughter cut through the air. The three Genin spun around in circles, but couldn't see anything. The laughter stopped and a soft twinkling of musical notes replaced it.
"Three pairs of eyes and not a single pair that can see a thing," Orochimaru said calmly as he appeared in front of Naruto with one hand behind his back. He leaned down and whispered directly into Naruto's ear. "But I can see. Kukuku, I see what you are, little Jinchuuriki!"
Naruto froze in shock and terror. 'How does could he know about Kyuubi?' Naruto thought, while inside its cage, the Kyuubi growled and tried to force more chakra through the seal and into Naruto. Naruto's body shook with the sudden overload of power and red chakra poured off his body, forming a pair of long ears over Naruto's head and the beginnings of what seemed to be a bushy tail. His eyes turned red with slits, while his nails turned to claws.
"Now there will be none of that, little Jinchuuriki," Orochimaru smirked and the fingertips of his hidden hand burst into purple flame with Kanji over the tips of the fingers. "Five Elements Seal!"
Orochimaru then slammed his burning fingers into Naruto's stomach, the blow tore into Naruto's insides, cutting off the Demon's chakra and disrupting the boy's own chakra flow and control. The vile, red chakra vanished into the air and Naruto's features quickly returned to normal, yet twisted in pain, as he fell to the ground in front of the insane sannin.
"Pathetic pile of trash, I'll teach you to insult far more powerful and important people than you!" Orochimaru snarled and he slammed his foot into Naruto's chest with all of his strength. Naruto shot through the air in an orange-colored blur as his ribs snapped and he smashed into another tree with a bone-crunching thud. He hung there for a second, embedded slightly into the tree, before he started falling into empty space and then to the forest floor hundreds of feet below.
"Naruto!" Sasuke shouted and hurled a kunai at his unconscious teammate. The kunai cut into Naruto's shoulder, before it pinned his jumpsuit to the tree, preventing him from falling to his doom.
"Fufufu, you shouldn't turn your back on your opponent so easily, my dear Sasuke-kun," Orochimaru chuckled. Quickly, the traitorous Sannin unnaturally extended his neck towards Sasuke. Then Orochimaru sank his teeth deep into the base of the Uchiha's neck.
Sasuke screamed in pain as Orochimaru's curse mark venom spread like a wild fire through the genin's body and then collected back at the puncture area. Three black tomoe-shaped marks, similar to Sasuke's Sharingan, formed just above the bite marks on the back of Sasuke's neck.
"Fufufufu. I've given you the little gift known as power, Sasuke-kun," Orochimaru whispered sweetly into Sasuke's ear, sending shivers down the boy's spine. "Use the power I've given you and become stronger than Itachi ever dreamed of. This is but the beginning of what I could give you. Seek me out and I shall bestow even more power onto you than you could imagine. At least, it will be more than what Konoha is holding back from you."
Orochimaru retracted his neck back from Sasuke's twitching body. "Remember what I said, Sasuke-kun. Survive and seek me out," the Sannin said before turning to mud.
"He was a clone!" Sakura exclaimed as she rushed to her crush's aid. She caught the boy just before he collapsed and held him in her lap. She looked around, but didn't see a single trace of the Sannin. After noticing that he was gone, she returned her attention to her crush. She placed a hand on Sasuke's brow and pulled away quickly.
"Gods, you're burning up," Sakura muttered and shifted the boy slightly, doing her best to resist groping her crush to find out the size of his cock and failing in the process, and reached into her pack for her water, having long since forgotten to get her second teammate down from his position on the tree. She opened the canteen and carefully poured a small mouthful into Sasuke's mouth. The boy quickly swallowed the liquid and shuddered in pain.
"I need to get you outta here, Sasuke-kun," Sakura grunted as she struggled to pick up Sasuke's dead weight. She finally managed to hoist Sasuke onto her shoulders in a fireman's carry and, when she stood up to collect her pack, she suddenly remembered her red haired teammate. She looked up and saw him hanging from the tree, not moving and unconscious.
'I can't leave the baka here all alone, Sasuke-kun and I need him so we can pass the Second Exam. If one of the other participants don't get him, one of the animals in this goddamned forest will. But I can barely carry Sasuke-kun as it is; there's no way I can carry them both at the same time!' She thought as she shift her crush to a more comfortable position. While Sakura wrestled with her tiny fangirl moral compass, a sharp ripping sound tore through the treetops. Sakura's eyes grew wide as Naruto's jumpsuit ripped beneath the kunai holding him against the tree. She held her breath, hoping that the first rip would be the only one, that the cloth would hold and Naruto would stay right there until she could get Sasuke somewhere safe and come back for him.
The second rip erased the idea from her mind. Naruto's body slumped and swayed against the tree trunk, every movement making the rip larger.
"Ss… akura…" Sasuke whispered between painful breaths. Sakura blushed deeply, her inner self swelled with pride. 'Cha! Sasuke-kun needs me; he's calling out to me. When he needs help the most, he's calling out for me! This is it… once I nurse him back to health, he'll take me into his arms and…' She thought as she blushed up a storm when the Uchiha's hand grazed one of her 'breasts', her thoughts turning XXX-rated.
An even louder rip brought Sakura from her perverted thoughts as the piece of cloth holding the redhead in place gave way, he plummeted from the tree down to the forest floor, several hundred feet below them. "Naruto-baka!" Sakura cried out and ran to the edge of the branch she stood on, but didn't go after him as his body left her line of sight.
'I have to take care of Sasuke-kun,' she thought. 'There's nothing I can do for that baka anymore. Sasuke-kun needs me and Naruto-baka would just get in our way anyways!'
"That's right. There was nothing you can do for that Baka. But Sasuke-kun still has a chance. He's fighting for his life, fighting for your love. He needs you to help him while there's still time." Inner Sakura yelled in righteous fangirl fury.
'But Naruto…' Sakura thought as her weak and insignificant moral compass tried to fight her fangirl side. "Cha! Sasuke-kun is way better than that nobody, Naruto just gets in your way, you both can come back and find Naruto's body later. You can give him a proper burial, that's what teammates do, right? After that you can console Sasuke-kun and help revive his clan." Inner Sakura bellowed, somehow having a nosebleed.
Sakura blushed and giggled before she shifted Sasuke on her shoulders so her hands were free to move along his body while she carried him. She cast one last look in the direction Naruto fell before hurrying off to find a place to nurse Sasuke back to health, while grabbing the emo's ass.
-Forest Away from remainder of Team 7-
Hitting the first tree branch during his long fall, forced Naruto back into the Land of the Living and into a world of bright pain as his nose broke. He smashed through branches and slammed off of tree trunks. Naruto felt a few of his ribs snap again as he became folded across a thick branch that then snapped under his momentum, he felt his arm rip and tear against the rough bark of another tree, even felt the sharp pain of the kunai below his collarbone dig deeper as he slammed against another tree, and finally, after falling for several hundred feet, he plunged headfirst into a small swamp.
The murky surface of the muddy water felt like he had just jumped off the Academy building and failed to stick the landing, like in a few of their first lessons to be ninja. The impact blew all the air out of Naruto's lungs and made his broken ribs hurt all that much more. Naruto choked on the ice cold water and he struggled for air as he tried to reach the surface. His head broke the surface and Naruto almost choked on the first heave of fresh air. His broken bones barely able to keep him afloat, Naruto drifted for only a moment before he became fatigued and again slipped beneath the freezing water.
Naruto struggled to move his devastated and torn body, but his weak efforts did little to slow his descent into the dimly lit depths of the murky swamp. Naruto tried to concentrate, tried to focus his chakra to his limbs, but only received a great and blistering pain in his stomach for his efforts that felt like the seal was trying to burn him alive. Darkness began encroaching on the edges of his vision as he sank deeper and deeper into the abyss.
Naruto reached the bottom of the swamp and tried to scream in pain, only bubbles escaping, when his broken arm landed on what appeared to be a large stone sarcophagus. Pain lanced through Naruto's jarred arm and he looked at the offending object, momentarily forgetting about the danger of drowning. Dirt and mud, kicked up by his rough arrival at the lake bottom, settled and Naruto saw a massive stone coffin that had odd engravings on it and breaks around the edges. The stone itself was a thick grey that had what seemed to be runes shining on it, despite the lack of sunlight at the lake bottom, there was even some sort of crown on it that Naruto recalled was called a diadem.
Naruto shook his head as he felt like it was calling for him. The lack of oxygen was beginning to make him lightheaded. He quickly tried to kick off the bottom, but only drifted a few feet upward before sinking back to the murky bottom.
'Reach out O King. Rise again Iskander, King of Conquerors.' A voice said, echoing around the red haired Uzumaki as he struggled to breathe. High above the Forest of Death, dark and heavy storm clouds appeared in the sky. Thunder rumbled and streaks of lightning danced between the clouds, everyone in the forest looked up at the sky wondering what had happened to the cloudless, blue sky that had just been there a second ago as they scrambled for the closest safe place to hid from the impending rain. Team Seven never noticed due to one of their members being at the bottom of a swamp, another was unconscious and the last was currently molesting the second under tree roots that somehow had formed above ground.
Naruto's vision blurred as his body gave up its struggle to reach the surface. He sank to the bottom, chest and belly first, his arms and legs spread eagled at his sides.
'Reach out my King. Reach out!' Came the voice once again, sounding like a young boy's, for some reason giving Naruto the image of a young black haired boy that was wearing a green sweater and had his dark hair in a straight short style that had it split on both sides of his forehead.
Naruto looked closer at the coffin. Words forming from the runes, but Naruto was unable to decipher any of the words due to the lack of oxygen in his brain. His vision darkened.
Naruto, using his last bit of strength, reached forward and pressed his fingers to the ancient stone. The exertion of that simple task caused Naruto's lungs to finally give out and he took in a deep breath of water.
'It's so quiet down here,' Naruto thought as his brain beginning to shut down from the lack of air. 'It's… So calm… Nobody is fighting down here, no one's chasing me and attacking me. Guess it's not the worst place to end up.' A sad smile pulled at the corners of Naruto's lips as he turned his thoughts to Hiruzen, the Sandaime Hokage and Naruto's surrogate grandfather. 'I'm sorry Hiru-jiji; I guess I won't be taking that hat from you after all. I'm sorry Sasuke-teme, Sakura-chan, Kakashi-sensei; I tried my hardest. You guys will have to become great ninja without…'
Naruto's eyes closed for the last time as he drowned. His body convulsed and then stopped. He never saw the rift open in the sky because of that and the mud, nor the massive lightning bolt in the form of an ox drawn chariot leave it to crash into the swamp that he lay.
-Naruto's Mindscape-
Naruto woke up in what seemed to be the water of a sewer. Quickly panicking as he woke, he jerked upwards, sending water flying and took a deep breath of a deep, foul smelling air. He was sitting on his hands and knees, coughing up invisible water that he felt in his throat; the water surrounding him was only calf deep. Naruto coughed some bile out of his mouth and looked around the large sewer. He was in a massive dank and filthy sewer, a large and cylinder-like tunnel, the water pooled at his feet came from many of the rusted out pipes bolted to the walls.
Naruto got to his feet; all of the injuries and pains from the Sannin's attacks and his fall through the forest were gone. Naruto started walking slowly down the corridor, somehow feeling like he was being pulled in that direction. The sounds of voices talking echoed throughout the sewer tunnel and Naruto walked faster.
The tunnel opened into a massive chamber with a massive cage at the end and what filled it stopped Naruto in his tracks.
At one end of the chamber was an enormous cage with thick bars and a piece of paper sealing the doors shut. Dead snakes covered the floor in front of the cage, the effects of Orochimaru's Five Element seal. At the cage, Naruto was shocked to see a massive muscular red haired man, the man who was currently talking to a young girl that had fox ears sticking out of her pinkish/orange hair and a bushy tail sticking out the back of her blue short kimono. She had golden eyes, and butt length pink/orange hair that she kept in a ponytail that was held up by a blue ribbon. She was wearing a long-sleeved, dark blue and white kimono that fell just below the knees, open on the sides to reveal her thighs. The kimono only covered the upper part of her arms and the underside of her breasts, making Naruto avert his gaze with a blush. She also from what Naruto swore he couldn't see was wearing a pair of white panties and underneath the bottom of her kimono, she wore black leggings and a pair of sandals.
The two of them looked like they were having a nice conversation as he got closer, catching the man asking her why she was imprisoned.
Naruto was slightly shocked by everything he was seeing, he had never seen a man so large, albeit he had sometimes seen Choji's dad use the expansion jutsu, but this man screamed all natural. The redheaded stranger was well over six feet and nine inches tall and covered in thick slabs of muscle from head to toe, He had sternly chiseled features with eyes that gave off a dazzling glow, seemingly able to overtake the younger redhead's soul in an instant with their sharpness, and burning red hair and beard; and he was the strangest dressed man Naruto had ever seen. He wore bronze armor with cuffs and greaves with fringes that left his arms and thighs unprotected. He wore a thick cape, with furry fringes like his cuffs, dyed in a similar red to his hair. It was luxuriously decorated, and looked like a curtain wrapping the stage of a theater.
The man bore a strange type of a straight and long sword at his waist, that had a golden lion's head placed on the end of the hilt. The man looked over his shoulder at his fellow redhead's approach and smiled down at Naruto. "I shall be with you in but a moment, young one," the giant said in a firm, but hearty voice. "First, I need to finish talking to this beautiful fox."
The man then turned his back to the young Uzumaki, who just sat there in stunned silence as he watched the strange people talk as if he weren't there.
"Hey boy!" The stranger said catching Naruto's attention as he walked over to him. "I need you to come here and remove this seal from the cage." The giant pointed to the large seal tag placed on the intersection between the cage doors, that seemed to be holding them shut.
Naruto's mouth hung open comically as the stranger held out his hand and waved it in front of his face. The stranger shook his head and rolled the kinks out of his shoulders, a bright smile on his face as he opened his mouth. "It's been a long time since I last left the Hero Throne, even one as short as this is refreshing," the stranger said and he looked down at Naruto. "So you are the one that is my reincarnation. Apologies friend, I assumed you would be larger."
It took Naruto another minute to find his voice. "Who… Wha… Huh?"
The older redhead laughed; it was a hearty laugh that started deep within his belly and sprang out happily. "Such was the reaction of Waver upon meeting me for the first time, but that was a long, long time ago my young friend. What is your name, little one?"
"N-Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto said, still speechless at the sight of the man. "Such a strange name," The stranger said as he stroked his crimson beard. "But the strangeness of a man's name matters little. I am Iskander, the King of Conquerors, or as people thousands of years ago called me, Alexander the Great."
"Um, ok, Mr. Conqueror, where exactly are we?" asked Naruto politely. "We are in your, well our, mind, Naruto. What do you remember before you arrival in this dismal place?" Iskander said as he patted the boy on the shoulder, having learned to be gentle with his pats, after he had sent Waver Velvet into a wall during the Fourth Holy Grail War; oh, that was a sight to behold back then, the red mark didn't leave the boy's face for a week.
"Um, we were fighting that pedophile Orochimaru-teme, who of course was only interested in Sasuke-teme like everyone else, when he hit me in the stomach with a weird purple fire and then kicked me into a tree, where it seemed I passed out. Next thing I know, I feel a lot of pain because I am hitting tree branches and bouncing off tree trunks and then I fell into a lot of water. After that… I think I drowned, didn't I?" He looked up at the giant with realization on his face.
"Nah, you didn't drown," Iskander laughed as he shook his head. "You were about to, but then you entered here after hitting that runestone, you entered your mindscape and somehow called me here, where I first encountered Ms. Tamamo."
"If this is my mind, how the heck are you in here, Dattebayo? Just what is going on here? And who is Tamamo?" Naruto asked, his nervousness forgotten as he became curious about why a hulking giant and a cute fox girl would be in his head.
"I am in your mind because I am what you would call your past life and when you hit that sarcophagus, I was somehow brought here. She is Tamamo, I believe you humans call her Kyuubi," Iskander said and he raised his massive arm, pointing at the pink haired girl sitting in the cage who waved at them, the mention of Kyuubi causing fear to flash over Naruto's face. "So you are my past life, she is the Kyuubi, whose actual name is Tamamo?" Naruto said, trying to sort out his confusion. "Did I get that all correct?"
"Indeed," The now named Tamamo said with a cute giggle at his expression, "you are so cute, Naruto-kun."
"Um, Tamamo-san?" Naruto asked, catching the fox spirit's attention. "Why did you attack Konoha?" The girl's expression immediately became downcast at the mention of what she did that caused her to be sealed inside the young redhead. "I didn't mean to, I was just minding my own business at my favorite shrine and some weirdo with an orange spiral mask and a red eye cast some Illusion over me, making me go on a rampage and unleash my full power; also, my full name is Tamamo no Mae by the way, nice to meet ya." Iskander just nodded while stroking his beard while he watched the supposed Fox Demon and his reincarnation interact.
"So, Iskander-san," Naruto said catching the giant's attention after he finished his conversation with Tamamo. "When were you alive and what were you famous for that got you called King of Conquerors?" Iskander smirked at the boy and sat down with a thud, his clothes turning into what seemed to be old blue jeans and a white shirt that clung tightly to his barrel shaped torso, making him smile fondly at the memory of the Fourth Grail War and the time he spent with Waver. "I led the largest army in the world from where I was from, I conquered dozens of nations and empires and lead hundreds of victories against any enemy, mainly that of Macedonia, my homeland and Persia, a great Empire that had been a long time enemy to my people." Iskander declared proudly as he thumped his mighty chest. "I was a King."
"How long ago was that?" Naruto asked.
"A few millennia," Iskander answered sadly. "My tale and so many other heroes are now long forgotten, lost in the cataclysm that tore this world apart, I believe it was one of the corrupted Holy Grails."
"What is a Holy Grail?" Naruto asked, curiosity flashing over his face.
"The Holy Grail was a Christian holy relic from the ancient world that received the blood of of a great man named Jesus Christ, many people considered it to be to be an Omnipotent Noble Phantasm," Iskander said as he had Naruto sit down in front of him. "The name is utilized as the name of an artifact purportedly capable of granting any wish to whomever comes to claim it in the Grail Wars. Its advent was the ultimate goal of the Holy Grail Wars." He looked at Naruto, who had a look of awe on his face before Iskander began again. "In the War, I was what you would call a Heroic Spirit, a Great Hero of the past, I was famous for my Kingship and for becoming the Great conqueror I was. In the Fourth Grail War, I was summoned by a young boy named Waver Velvet, he entered the War because he wanted to be seen with respect by his peers. He is long dead now."
"I'm sorry about your friend," Naruto said. "Nah it's ok, there is no need; he may not have been a great warrior, but he was a great man and the halls of Elysium are brighter with his admittance. From what I've seen in your memories, young Waver would have liked you as well. Well, since we have met, though you are actually me reborn, you shall become the new King of Conquerors."
"The new… King of Conquerors?" Naruto asked in confusion. "But aren't you the King of Conquerors?"
"No boy, you can never be completely me, nor can I truly be you, young Naruto. You will always be Naruto Uzumaki, only as the new King, the King that will conquer these lands. The Heroic essence that binds me to my Noble Phantasms shall pass onto you. You will become a King, a Legend, just as I was. You shall gain my strength, stamina, speed, reflexes, agility, Noble Phantasms and durability. All of your senses will become sharpened tenfold, your already impressive healing factor from your lineage and having Lady Tamamo inside you, shall become a true regeneration; you, Naruto, shall become an immortal conqueror! Mastery of any and all forms of combat that I have gained in my life as a King and a Servant of the Grail, shall now become yours, as well as my armor and my Sword of the Kupriotes. Lastly, the Gordius Wheel and my endless armies shall be yours to command." Iskander said with a hearty laugh, clapping the boy on the back each time he got excited, which was quite a lot now that they thought about it, much to the sweat dropping visage of Tamamo.
"This is completely and utterly insane," Naruto muttered as he stared in shock at the great King. "First I am drowning, now I'm going to be immortal and super strong, with something called a Noble Phantasm and…"
"No boy, nothing in all of Time truly lives forever," Iskander interrupted his reincarnation. "I myself and hundreds of Heroes and Antiheroes are proof of that." Naruto sighed and rubbed his aching head. "Ok, but still, this is a lot to take in. What about me being a shinobi? Will I still be able to use chakra?"
"I fear that I know nothing of this chakra or of being a, what was the word? Shinobi?" Iskander said as he stroked his crimson beard in thought. "The only shinobi I knew of were called Assassin and they were cowards and weaklings that hid in the shadows, skulking, and I can see that with the Assassins of your time, this is not always true. I cannot foresee what will happen when this conversation ends and you take all of my, well our, powers."
"And what about her?" Naruto asked as he pointed to the still caged fox girl, who in turn waved cheerfully at them when Iskander turned to look at her. "I fear that she must remain as well. Unless of course, you are able to let her out of this place, then she can stay close to you." Iskander said as he turned back to Naruto. "In my time and Land she was known as a greatly liked spirit, always cheerful and happy. I am not sure of what got her imprisoned inside of you, but Lady Tamamo shouldn't be imprisoned like this, maybe you could try removing her from your body, so that she can be free once more."
"Hey, um, how am I gonna learn how to do all of this stuff? Who's gonna train me?" Naruto asked as he noticed the giant's armor forming on his own body as it left Iskander, the Sword of the Kupriotes appearing on his hip. He was looking a tad confused as the King of Conquerors began to fade from his mindscape.
"Training will always be necessary to fully be able to use my powers and rule this land," Iskander replied as he stared down at his fading feet. "You shall gain my memories and knowledge in the transference, but my powers shall grow at the same rate you do. Until you fully mature, practical use of your powers will take a long time to master and much hard work will be needed. In time, as you grow, you will learn from my memories and train until you are as powerful as I was, if not even more so."
"Hehe, I was wondering if I was going to wake up looking like, well, you?" Naruto smiled and rubbed the back of his crimson head sheepishly.
"Like me?" The man asked confused.
"Yeah, you are like the biggest guy I have ever seen or met!" Naruto exclaimed as he compared his short height to Iskander's giant frame. "Well, except for Choji's dad when he does his clan's Expansion jutsu, but you're still the biggest person I've ever seen without using a jutsu!"
"Ha ha, such a thing would be an interesting sight for me to see and perhaps do battle with. I too had many a friend capable of many different feats! Hmm, such a memory serves purpose. My Gordius Wheel is ageless and close to indestructible, unless you have an Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm like the King of Knights. My friends and fellow heroes had such gifts, like my Gordius Wheel, perhaps their relics and weapons have survived like my legacy has. Search the world and you may find the legacies of the Ancient Heroes," Iskander said with a smile.
"There's other cool stuff from your time lying around too? All right, Dattebayo!" Naruto said in excitement as he pumped his fist in the air eagerly.
Iskander scratched his head sheepishly and smiled at the younger redhead. "Interesting as you are, time has grown short, Master Naruto. Are you ready?"
"Um, I…" Naruto paused. His mind raced. 'At this rate, things will never be the same around here after this,' the new King thought. 'I'm never going to be normal, never going to be accepted by the village after this. There's a good chance the civilians might hate me even more after all of this… I don't care about them anymore. I don't understand what exactly is going on, but I gotta get back to help Sasuke and Sakura-chan. And seeing that Iskander says that I'll become as strong and have the same powers as him, then that's good enough to for me. I'll show all of those assholes in the village that I'm not a demon and I'll protect my precious people, no matter what!'
"Let's do it." Naruto said as he sent a determined look to the almost completely gone giant. "You have a good heart," Iskander smiled and placed his hand on the redhead's shoulder. "I know this decision is never an easy one to make, even when it has already been made for you by others, with either good intentions or bad. Always know that all the might and power of the King of Conquerors and my endless armies will always be with you through life and even death. Honor your comrades and know, no matter what happens, to win, but not destroy; to conquer, but not humiliate; That is what true conquest is!" Iskander said smiling cheerfully. "Glory lies beyond the horizon… Speak of conquest and demonstrate it!"
"I'll remember that, my King," Naruto smiled as the rest of the ancient king faded away. "Goodbye and good luck on your conquests, Naruto, King of Conquerors," Iskander said and he gave a mighty yell as he faded away, like he was going to battle. Naruto stared at the sword he held in his hand for a moment. Naruto felt a great calm swell over him, the prelude to the new, yet ancient, power he was about to claim. Naruto tightened his grip on the Spatha's handle and swung it towards the ceiling of the sewer, even as the dank, dark place was changing into a large forest. An orange light-like slash appeared in the air above him as a large bolt of lightning enveloped him and his world world turned a bright white.
-A clearing a few miles from the lake-
Sakura giggled as she played with her unconscious crushes hair, she had always wanted to be able to touch him like this. She had already seen him in his birthday suit, when she first checked for any wounds that she couldn't see… Unable to stop herself from molesting Sasuke's body after seeing his uncovered manhood. She had even just taken his virginity by sucking his unconscious form off.
'Finally, Naruto-baka isn't here to get in the way of my and Sasuke-kun's love!' Sakura cheered in her head, her earlier feelings of sadness about her red haired teammates fall completely gone. The pink haired girl stiffened slightly as she felt one of her sensory tags at the edge of the clearing go off and a voice rang out.
"Give us your little boyfriend and we won't kill you."
-Forest of Death-
A great blast of thunder shook the entirety of the Forest of Death, causing everyone including a certain Sannin to jump in shock, and Naruto rose above the surface of the swamp, his injuries healed and none of his visible cuts and slashes gone. His muscles were more defined, not completely to the extent of his past lives at the moment, but he still felt stronger than he had ever been in his life. His malnourished frame was gone, leaving a muscular and lean form in its place and he was covered in Iskander's armor, with the sword at his hip. His red hair had become slightly wilder and his eyes had obtained a piercing glare.
Naruto took a deep breath of the fresh air, his slightly abused air lacking lungs sore and he looked out at the surrounding forest, taking in the sights, sounds, and smells with his enhanced senses. He looked off to his left as he heard Sakura's screams a few miles away.
Naruto reached down and picked his sword up off the ground. He stared at the blade and tossed it gently from hand to hand. Naruto gave the spatha a few test swings, gauging the weight, and surprised himself with the ease and familiarity he handled the ancient sword.
'Heh, Iskander told the truth about having all of his memories,' Naruto thought. 'It feels like I've used this blade all my life. But I'll have to sort the memories out and talk to Tamamo-chan later; right now, it's time to give these new abilities a little test drive, Uzumaki style!'
Naruto gripped his blade in his hand and slashed it into the air over his head in order to open up a rift in the empty space resembling a gaping mouth. With a thunderous roar and a tremor, a massive battle chariot emerged from the rift onto the ground right in front of Naruto, who nodded his head in respect for it's previous owner, Naruto climbed onto the chariot and grabbed hold of the reigns, whipping them and the Bulls at the front took off through the air with a mighty bellow. Lightning scorched the ground around the chariot as it flew off through the sky above the Forest of Death as he searched for his teammates.
Heya guys and gals, Iskander Mandoraekon here with the remake of my King of Conqueror story. I decided to make this story after noticing that there are no Rider Zero and Naruto crossover stories at all. In this story Naruto will be having all of Iskander's powers and Noble Phantasms and become the new King of Conquerors. Just so you all know, Iskander is Alexander the Great's real original name so that you guys don't throw a hissy fit over it and declare that it is bad spelling. This will be mainly Sasuke/Sakura/Civilian Council and Danzo for bashing and Naruto will slowly but surely conquering the Elemental Nations.
