God I am so bad for this, I always start stories and never finish them! Well, no more! As of today, I am going to attempt to get chapters out for all – if not most – of my already started stories. In saying that, I really want to start a story for Mondaiji with my own twist on things. I do not know whether to class this as a 'cross-over' or not yet but I will be using Naruto, so yeah, I guess you could class this as a crossover. Do I put it into the crossover section? Maybe. I do not really know or have the patience now to care.
In saying that, let us get a few things noted to start with:
- This story will feature Naruto, as well as the characters from cannon, i.e., Kuro-Usagi, Izayoi, Asuka, Yo etc.…
- Naruto's character will be set after the fourth shinobi war - for those of you who have not read or seen Naruto - It is the ending.
- Yes, Naruto will be strong. He has to be if he wants to stand a chance of competing with the people in Little Garden, let alone Izayoi.
- Naruto will be OOC. I say this because while I enjoy the personality of Naruto, that will not change, but I feel he will need to suit the atmosphere of Little Garden. In saying that, there will not be any character bashing. Harsh things will be spoken but there will always be a reason for it.
- On a side note, the plans I have for Naruto might make you hate him, it is possible but it all serves a purpose within the story.
- Naruto will have the Sharingan, you will understand why. For those that do not know what the Sharingan is; The Sharingan is an ocular-doujutsu (a genetically inherited power up that turns the eye red with three tomes that surround the pupil.) that allows the user certain benefits: the ability to predict fast movements, enhanced vision, photographic memory and Genjutsu. (Genjutsu is the ability to trap someone in an illusion that affects the mental state of the opponent.)
- Naruto will have the Jubi, you will understand why. (Jubi is the ten tails demon of the Naruto world that has unrivalled power.)
- This will be either a Naruto x Kuro-Usagi story or a Naruto x Harem story; I have not made my mind up yet. It could quite possible start out as a Harem and lead to a single pairing. Do not ask me why, I have ideas.
- Finally, Naruto will be 18 when this happens, while Izayoi, Asuka and Yo will be 17. Black Rabbit is 200 years old or older but that will become apparent soon.
Now that I have all that out of the way, shall we begin with the story?

Chapter 1: Prologue
-X-
Madara Uchiha stood atop the Gedo Mazu statue, his blazing red eyes staring out among the huge battlefield he had created for the sole purpose of trapping everyone in the infinite Tsukuyomi. As he stared out towards the war he had instigated through a good use of his pawns, he could not help but think over how poorly this war was going.
What started out as the growing thorn in his side quickly demolished all the older man's plans. The boy was none other than Uzumaki Naruto. The blonde haired shinobi that had ruined his efforts towards the war made it increasingly difficult for the black-haired Uchiha to capture the Biju. Just like his name-sake suggested, Naruto was a maelström, wreaking havoc throughout the war, not to mention a Uzumaki through and through, having picked up where his sensei, Jiraiya, left off in terms of Fuinjutsu. (AN: Sealing arts) Naruto had managed to create his own version of Tobirama's Hirashin Jutsu – if word was believed, then it even surpassed his father's Hirashin which was allegedly greater than Tobirama's own. The boy, apparently, did not need 'seal markers' to teleport like Tobirama or Minato, but instead had used a long-thought-lost Uzumaki technique to inscribe the marker into his own eyes. Of course, if he believed the white Zetsu, the boy could also place markers to travel distance; the main point was that, as long as it was within the boy's vision, he could teleport to it.
Such a fearsome technique had few counters, if any at all, but Madara was called one of the strongest for a reason. The man quickly proved that he could go toe-to-toe with Naruto throughout countless battles. Even then, that the boy could keep up with an Edo Tensei version of himself, was horrifying in its own right. If dying were something Madara did, then the boy would have slain him already.
Now, standing on top of the Gedo Mazu, Madara pondered down at the battle that lay before him. A battle that reminded him so much of his earlier conquests; his own fight with Hashirama Senju. The glaring difference in this fight, though, was that Sasuke had no chance in a fight against Naruto.
From the reports he had heard about Naruto Uzumaki, and what he had seen himself, the boy was horrendously protective of his friends, and had a brotherly bond with Sasuke. However, he hadn't accounted for the boy to be hardened by the war, thinking that he wouldn't hurt Sasuke and would instead pull his punches, just wasn't the case.
The fight was clearly one-sided from where the older man stood. As his red Sharingan eyes blazed down towards the fight below the statue, all the man could make out were yellow flashes as the blonde haired person quickly and effectively destroyed Sasuke.
"How unfortunate…" the black-haired man said to no one as he peered down at the fight intently. The Sharingan rendered useless against the blonde-haired shinobi. One feature of the Sharingan was the ability to predict movements before they even happened by watching the way that chakra circulated around the body. Increased by the Sharingan's ability to detect contraction of muscles and subtle movements made fighting an Uchiha practically impossible. However, could you predict someone who did not move, but instead could teleport? The blonde, Naruto, wouldn't even need to twitch his muscles to teleport, as was testament to how powerful his Fuinjutsu-inscribed eyes were, which was a considerable blow to a Uchiha who prided themselves on their ocular advantage, "if only Naruto was on my side." With Naruto on Madara's side, no one would have stood against them. The blonde-haired person was an incredibly talented shinobi.
It was with a slight shake of his head that Madara jumped from the top of the statue and dropped towards the fight. The intent to finish the fight and be done with Naruto was clear in his eyes as he planned to remove the Kyubi from inside the blonde. The last piece of the puzzle needed to complete his long-awaited plan.
A small thud signified that Madara landed in the field where the fight was taking place. It was lucky that the Uchiha had managed to land next to Naruto as the blonde-haired shinobi launched a sage-enhanced punch towards Sasuke's temple. The punch laced with his own natural strength and amplified by Senjutsu was quickly surging towards the dark-haired youth that could do nothing to avoid the hit. Sasuke's Sharingan seeing the punch but not quick enough to stop the attack that would kill him, could only watch in morbid resignation as the fist inched closer to his face.
However, the boy was pleasantly surprised when Madara had landed next to the blonde-haired boy and watched in anger as Naruto teleported away before Madara could even raise his arm towards him. Sasuke could not help but shake his head at the power that Naruto was seemingly pulling out his arse.
After landing, Madara watched as his opponent teleported away, his eyes not being able to track the instantaneous movement, but more than able to spot the blonde-haired man from across the clearing.
Noticing Sasuke right himself as they stood opposite the boy of 17 years of age, Madara checked over Sasuke's wounds with a brief scan of his Sharingan. Multiple lacerations to his face as well as swelling under his right eye. Blood was starting to leak through a wound on Sasuke's chest that the younger boy was quick to ignore as they both stood to face Naruto who was across the clearing.
The silence was palpable as the three men stood in the clearing; two sets of Sharingan, which could not keep the boy in a Genjutsu, strained on their opponent.
For Naruto, who was staring down, possibly the two strongest men alive now, was faring well. He was confident in his abilities that he could remove the two men from existence, thus ending the war. After the death of the Kages, at the hands of Madara himself, the people of the Shinobi Alliance had turned towards Naruto for guidance and leadership. For a large part of the war, Naruto had been the one that had sent countless of his shinobi, his friends, to death to make victories. Such a heavy burden weighed on his conscience that the boy surprised himself by not turning into hollow husk. That was not to say that he had not changed. In fact, he had changed tremendously.
Laughing had become a privilege, ever since the start of the war, with hard eyes and subtle grimaces towards the death of the people becoming more and more plain. He had watched shinobi and civilian alike perish around him, unable to help and that had broken his heart. Now, with no room left for heartbreak, Naruto had to become a monster that would end the war. A demon that labelled him in his youth. Despite becoming a demon to end the war, the blonde's personality had not changed at all. There was less laughing and not as many heartfelt exchanges between people, but Naruto had managed to keep his cheery self.
With eyes that did not belong to a youth like him, Naruto gazed back at Madara, opting to ignore Sasuke in favour of keeping his eyes on the bigger threat.
Outraged at the ignorance that Naruto displayed towards his form, Sasuke let loose a cry as he shot off at Naruto with a speed that was hard to match.
Unless your name was Naruto.
With actions quicker than the Sharingan could catch, Naruto had disappeared in an orange flash only to seem right next to Sasuke. He allowed his outstretched fist to be stationed into the awaiting face of the Uchiha and was forced to disengage from the punch that would have killed Sasuke due to an attack that he could feel was coming from his blind spot, curtsy of Madara.
Seemingly appearing next to Madara, Naruto let loose a punch that pulverized the torso of Madara's body, only to watch as the body stitched itself back together before his very eyes. Giving the man's body no time to regenerate, Naruto teleported to where Madara's head had flown and brutally stomped a Senjutsu-enhanced foot into the man's dislodged head which caused a newly formed crater to appear.
The added load of regenerating his head would buy Naruto the few needed seconds in which he would need to dispose of Sasuke, if he had any chance of winning this fight. Sensing a build-up of chakra behind him, Naruto spun his body around in time to come face-to-face with a fireball that easily dwarfed the blonde-haired youth.
Thinking quickly, the blonde moved his gaze from the dark black flame of Amaterasu and located a tree that was just at the edge of the clearing. Vanishing to appear next to the tree that was only a few feet from Sasuke, Naruto allowed himself to teleport again to appear behind the boy who had sent the fireball.
With a Rasengan charged in his hand, Naruto was about to drive the blue ball of chakra into Sasuke's unprotected back. The ball of supercharged chakra was only inches from his body and ending the fight completely when Naruto saw movement in the peripheral vision of his right eye. Quickly diverting his attention to the side preparing to teleport from danger, Naruto did not see the hidden blade that Madara's regenerated body had sent at him before it was too late.
With a strangled cry, Naruto felt as the blade sliced across his right eye and into the left, quickly and efficiently ending the blonde's vision completely. Naruto, forced to dive backwards to avoid the follow-up punch that Madara had sent his way before his vision was forcefully taken, was quickly caught off guard by a two-pronged attack. Doing his best to sense out the attacks, combined with his natural agility and strength, Naruto was able to fend off a few of the attacks that had suddenly increased in vigour and strength
One punch from Sasuke had managed to turn the tide of the battle. Naruto, who was hard pressed to dodge the attacks that were sent from both Madara and Sasuke had finally succumbed to a fist that managed to break the blonde's guard, sending his balance completely off. It was thanks to the lack of balance from Sasuke's punch that spurred Madara into quickly charging the blonde-haired boy, landing consecutive punches and kicks that were enough to send Naruto airborne and above the tree line.
It was shortly after that Naruto was quickly starting to lose the fight. The added stress from not having his eyes and overusing his chakra was taxing for his tired body. It was with once swift axe-kick from Madara that sent Naruto plummeting into the ground where he did not stand up again.
Seemingly, in shock at the blonde-haired youth's defeat, the sky above the trio began to rain.
-X-
"Hurry up Sasuke, you impudent child! As soon as the Kyubi's sealed, there will be no one left to challenge us!" Madara shouted towards his pawn, noting with disgust as beads of sweat starting to travel down Sasuke's face. The boy had used up a vast amount of chakra fighting Naruto and now had to expand the rest of his reserves to help him take the Kyubi from the defeated boy's body.
It was a chilling thought to Madara as he realised that Naruto had not used an ounce of the Kyubi's power throughout their fight. Madara was certain that if Naruto had used the power of the strongest Biju, Sasuke would not have survived the battle and ultimately, Madara would have lost the war.
Instead of replying, Sasuke gave a sharp glare to the man, one that while not appreciated, Madara would ignore for now, until Sasuke's usefulness had ended.
The grotesque, humanoid figure that made up the Gedo Mazu had eight of its nine eyes open, the ninth seemingly opening as more and more red, potent light streamed from the broken blonde and into the awaiting mouth of the brown statue.
Sensing his life force leaving his body warned Naruto that if he was going to act, it had to be quick. He had formulated a plan for such a time he was captured, the last failsafe that would ultimately save the world. Against all logics of physics, Naruto's body that was suspended in the air shifted slightly, the movement catching Madara and Sasuke's attention as they both made out the blonde-haired boys muttered words.
"Got to hell." Naruto whispered with a smile on his face as he shakily brought his hands together to form the Ram sign. A large sealing array exploded from his body and quickly expanded throughout the entire surface of the sky around where his body floated.
With a resonating boom that echoed throughout the entire Nation, the statue of the Gedo Mazu exploded. All the potent red light that coalesced inside burst forth in a show of unholy red light. Wisps of power shot throughout the sky as the clouds darkened overhead.
As if sensing the power that had escaped from the statue, Naruto's sealing array lit up the sky like lightning. Brief flashes from the darkened clouds was all that could be seen throughout the Elemental Nations as the unholy Chakra of 9 tailed beasts shot towards the sealing surface.
"Madara, do something!" Sasuke's shout, barely heard over the surging wind that was shooting around with a ferocity that was hard to match. The power emanating from the explosion of the Gedo Mazu allowed Madara no time to comprehend Sasuke's shout before a bright yellow chain pierced him straight through his reanimated body.
Wide eyes travelled up to the complicated spiral of Kanji before he felt his very essence sucked away completely. One last thought flashed through Madara's conscience before his soul integrated into Naruto's body along with the Biju's energy that collected in the Gedo Mazu.
Sasuke watched in horror as Madara's body slumped to the floor with a small thud. So surprised that THE Madara Uchiha had been bested meant that it was too late for Sasuke to react to the giant surge of power that emanated from Naruto's body that knocked over all trees in the general vicinity. The power that was leaking from the boy was immense, so much so that Sasuke couldn't stare at the blonde with his Sharingan active, lest he be blinded. Acting quickly was the only way Sasuke might have been able to live, and act quickly he did. Applying a small amount of lightning Chakra to his leg muscles allowed Sasuke a sudden increase in speed as to get as far from Naruto as he could. The shock waves released from the blonde's body were becoming more erratic every second that passed and Sasuke feared for the worst.
Running with speed that was hard to match, Sasuke stopped a distance away from Naruto. The sky still darkened by the ominous looking clouds and the giant black writing in the sky. A brief flash of light erupted before the black-haired boy's eyes and vanished before he could comprehend what the light was. By the time the boy's eyes had readjusted, the black writing had vanished from the sky along with the blonde that had been suspended in the air. No sign of Naruto or Madara could be found within the giant crater that had formed from the flash of light.
Sasuke looked around briefly, noticing that a lot of fighting that had gone on had ceased with the Gedo Mazu no longer there, as well as their leader, Naruto. Sasuke branched out his senses as he tried to search for his old friend's Chakra only to find not even a hint of it present.
"Where are you, Naruto?"
-X-
With a shout, Naruto's eyes burst open but shut far too quickly for his own liking. Having remembered that Madara had slashed his eyes in their fight, it was a miracle that he could open his eyes at all. The sun was beginning to quickly irritate his sensitive eyes, hidden behind his scarred eyelids that, with one final push, allowed his eye sight to quickly focus on the lush green grass the surrounded him.
"Funny…" Naruto whispered to himself, his eyesight was clearer than he remembered it while he also did not remember the area he was fighting Madara and Sasuke in to having any grass at all, it was barren clearing, "I don't remember grass..." Naruto trailed off as he looked around the area where he found himself situated.
The sun easily seen in the sky, its heat and light caressing his skin in ways he could not remember. The war had meant there was constantly cloud cover; the days where they fought in the sun were very few. The grass was a vibrant green that swayed slightly in the breeze and the trees were full of life, he could feel the natural energy flowing freely in them, unhampered by human interference.
Noticing a lake off to the side, Naruto carefully and wearily dragged himself off to the edge, intent on washing his face from the grime and muck that had undoubtedly gathered around his face.
However, the seventeen-year-old boy was not ready from the reflection that awaited him.
With a shocked gasp, Naruto peered down at his reflection in the water's surface. Staring at his hair that was once a vibrant yellow was now a dark and metallic silver, reminiscent of his old sensei; Kakashi. His face, which was slightly round, was now more angular with a more defined jawbone while the most startling change was his lack of blue eyes. No, instead of his azure blue, what started back was a pair of angry red Sharingan eyes that were changing rapidly from a six-star windmill to the normal three tome Sharingan. So startled by this revelation that Naruto was not ready for the loud boom that exploded from behind him. Averting his eyes to the side while leaving his newly acquired Sharingan active, something he would ponder on later, Naruto quickly came face to face with a large beast that was thought to have died out with Hanzo, a huge Salamander.
"What are you doing here, peasant?" the Salamander asked haughtily, his bright yellow eyes never leaving the bright red eyes of the boy before him. The Salamander had sensed the disturbance as clear as day; it was as if 10 demon lords were falling from the sky, the power was that palpable. He wondered if the eastern-floor host had sensed the disturbance that had launched itself through Little Garden.
'Knowing that little runt, she probably wouldn't even care.' The Salamander thought to himself as he stared down at the boy who had invaded his sanctuary.
Naruto, in shock, could only stare back at the giant lizard, the first thing that left his mouth left the Salamander sweat dropping into the ground.
"It's a huge-FUCKING-lizard!" Naruto shouted, his finger-pointing out at the face of the Salamander that was before him.
"I would hope you learn not to refer to me as a lizard, from now on child." The salamander hissed back. It watched at the boy seemed to gain his thoughts as his eyes narrowed slightly in response to the hiss directed at him.
"You would hope not to call me a child, Salamander." Naruto shot back, his eyes narrowed as he regarded the Salamander before him. No one had spoken to him like that since he and the toads had shown the summons who the strongest summoned was.
Naruto watched as the Salamander's gaze increased in intensity, clearly not having expected the boy to retort back to him, "You seem to be aware of what I am, yet you are not afraid?" the salamander questioned.
Nodding his head, Naruto shot back, "Why would I be afraid of you, even without the toads I could beat you." The shock on the Salamander's face easily recognised by Naruto, one who had adapted to reading the body language of those around him, a skill he had obtained from his childhood.
"You talk with arrogance. That same arrogance will be your down fall!" the Salamander started as it took a step towards the stationary boy, "I challenge you to a gift game."
"A what?" was the most intelligent reply Naruto could think have as he started at the Salamander, his head tilted in confusion even as the anger in the lizard's voice grew fiercer?
"Don't play dumb with me, boy!" it roared back.
Naruto's eyes narrowed even further, "I told you not to call me that." He was quickly losing his patience with the arrogant Salamander, "What the hell is a 'Gift Game' anyway?" Naruto questioned.
The salamander hissed as it regarded the boy, "A gift game is what we, beings of Little Garden, use to settle fights. A Gift Game only becomes active when the opponent receives a Geass roll." At seeing Naruto's slow nod as he tried to follow the information, the Salamander continued on, "a player must clear the conditions set by the host, and clear the goal of the game win. Gift games can be hosted by anyone that is able to offer a prize, and players usually must wager a 'chip' that can be anything, including gifts, money, land, resources, prestige and even people." At the last part, the salamander noticed the boy's eyes narrow even further, clear at not having enjoyed hearing about the possibility of slavery.
The silver-haired boy pondered over the information he heard, quickly coming to a startling conclusion that was almost enough to knock him into unconsciousness. Somehow, along with some starting changes to his appearance, it appeared to Naruto that he was no longer in his own world. He had been teleported to this… new world called little garden which must have been the summoning world for the Salamanders.
"Why am I in your summoning world, Salamander?" if Naruto annoyed the Salamander with his question then it was not shown. The Salamander's own visage contorted into a confused frown and he regarded the words issued by the boy.
"What do you mean, 'summoning realm'?" the Salamander asked, confusion etched into the deep voice.
"A summoning realm is where animals too big to survive in the Elemental Nations live, they can usually talk." Naruto said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. Quickly disproved by the frown that had not lifted from the Salamander's face, Naruto could not help the fear that latched itself into his conscience.
"Elemental Nations? I have heard of that place from the ancestor tree. It derives from a place called, 'Earth' does it not?" questioned the lizard.
"Well yeah, I mean, Earth is where I am from." Naruto shot back, quickly agitated by the conversation and lack of information spread between the two.
The Salamander seemed to get an almost whimsical look on its face before it he returned his attention to the boy before him, "You aren't on Earth any longer, child. This world is called Little Garden."
The Salamander wasn't prepared for the loud shout that escaped the Silver headed boy's lips shortly after the revelation.
"WHAT?"
Naruto had heard many things in his lifetime, but travelling to a different world was not something he thought possible. What about all the people he had left at home, the war that he had abandoned in coming to this place, "I need to get home, people need me!" Naruto shouted as he went to run around the Salamander, only stopped by the giant green tail from the beast itself.
Anger seeped into the eyes of Naruto as his path was halted; Naruto shifted his red eyes straight to the yellow ones of the Salamander. The bright yellow glow that leached from his eyes quickly reminded Naruto of the Snake Sannin, Orochimaru.
"You need to complete my gift game first." The salamander hissed first. He was annoyed at being ignored so readily; he did not like feeling as though we was a fly.
After a few seconds of quiet deliberation, Naruto shot a seething glare at the lizard, "What do I need to do?" he grounded out through clenched teeth.
A rather toothy grin over took the Salamander's visage that gave it a feral look. The male salamander stared down at his prey, the boy, as he gazed down at his next meal, "It's quite simple really, defeat I in a fight and I will do one thing you ask, however, if you lose, you shall become my next meal."
Without giving it much thought, Naruto started at the scroll that materialised in front of him. It glowed a healthy golden as the rules listed quite simply on the parchment.
Player: Naruto Uzumaki

"Do you accept the terms, boy?" The newly appointed Coraldo the Salamander hissed.
Naruto read the parchment twice before signing the paper with his blood, something that surprised Coraldo, and watched as the scroll disappeared in a puff of smoke. Glancing his eyes towards where the Salamander stood, Naruto cracked his neck slightly as his newly acquired Sharingan took in the form of –his now- giant green opponent.
"Heck yeah I do!" Naruto shouted as he leaped towards the hulking form of Coraldo, "I told you to stop calling me BOY!" with a mighty raw, Naruto appeared before the Salamander as his fist collided with the side of the beast's head.
