Chapter 1: Pilot
(Konoha Ravine, Afternoon)
Thirteen year old Naruto Uzumaki was scared. He had tried to summon a toad to save him, but was too terrified. He used what little chakra he had to try and grab onto a ledge, but ended up cutting his hands.
He could see his life flash before his eyes, everything he's been through, until, "THUD!" He landed hard, on the unforgiving ground, at the base of the Ravine. Thankfully him grabbing a ledge had at least slowed him down enough to survive the fall, but that didn't mean his body was unharmed.
His entire body was shattered, his upper and lower arms broken along with his thighs and legs, his back felt numb. His breathing heavy, in his unfocused gaze, he felt something next to his hand. Looking towards it with a blurred vision, all he saw was a golden key-shaped sword. This made him think "Kinda weird that something so beautiful would be in the hands of someone so broken," giving out a sigh Naruto looks up to the sky, while his hand grips the handle, "All my life, I've been nothing but Naruto the deadlast, baka, dobe, demon etc. I said I wanted to be Hokage to prove them, but honestly I don't care about being Hokage. I just want love and attention."
Tears began to fall down his face as he broke down, the key-sword beginning to glow a golden light, "I WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING OF MYSELF AND FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN LOVE ME FOR ME!"
He then fell unconscious from the stress of his wounds and his sorrow. The key-sword dematerialized into golden particles and went into Naruto's body, causing a change in him. His wounds began to heal, and his body was rebuilding itself. There were also changes going on in Naruto's mind.
(Naruto's Mindscape)
Inside Naruto's mind was a sewer with multiple halls. The main hall led to a giant cage with a piece of paper with the Kanji for seal on it. Behind the cage was a large orange kitsune with blood red eyes. This was the Kyuubi, the strongest of the Nine Bijuu. And right now he had his curiosity peaked. The source? A strange man standing over Naruto's unconscious body in front of his cage.
He has light colored skin with crimson eyes and spiky blond hair pushed back. He wears expensive looking garbs, giving off a kingly look (1). He radiates with a foreign energy and has a divine feeling to him. He turns to Kyuubi and speaks in a calm voice:
"Greetings beast. My name is Gilgamesh, the First King and King of Heroes."
"I am known as the Kyuubi. What is your business here mortal?" questioned Kyuubi.
"This boy has found the key to my vault of treasures. In that key was a copy of my saint graph which is basically a soul for beings like me. When the boy absorbed the key, he absorbed that copy and it is now changing him." said Gilgamesh in a calm tone.
"You aren't from this realm are you?" Kyuubi asked. "That energy that you're radiating is powerful. What do you mean beings like you?"
"In my realm there are beings known as Heroic Spirits. They are basically mortal heroes that have made great achievements that caused them to become immortalized as objects of worship after their deaths." said Gilgamesh "They ascend to a realm called the Throne of Heroes, where they become beings of higher existence. Right now my saint graph is turning the boy into a Demi-Servant or a human that has taken in the saint graph of a Heroic Spirit and fuses with it."
"So you gave the boy a power boost? Interesting." said Kyuubi. He noticed Gilgamesh giving him a look. "Is there something you wanted from me?"
"I wanted to ask you to tell me about the boy's life. I want to know who is going to succeed me. But before you do," said Gilgamesh, turning towards the hall yelling "I know there's someone hiding back there!" There were footsteps, before two people entered the main hall.
The first was a woman with a slender, but feminine build, fair skin, violet eyes, and red hair. She wore a high-collared, sleeveless blouse under a long, loose-fitting dress with a wristband on her left wrist and standard shinobi sandals.
The second was a man with blue eyes and spiky, blonde hair, with jaw-length bangs framing either side of his face. He wears a standard Konoha uniform with two bands on both of his sleeves, a green flak jacket, blue forehead protector, and blue sandals. He was wearing a short-sleeved long white haori over his normal attire, closed in the front by a thin, orange rope. The haori was decorated by red flame-like motifs on the edges.
"Minato, Kushina!" growled out the Kyuubi.
"Who are you and what are you doing near our son?" shouted Kushina in a threatening tone.
"Calm yourself, it is my power that is currently healing and improving your son." said Gilgamesh in a nonchalant tone.
"Improving?" questioned Minato, curious.
"As I told the kitsune, the boy is being changed into a higher being due to absorbing what is basically a copy of my soul." replied Gilgamesh, shocking Kushina and Minato. "Anyway, Kyuubi you may tell me of the boy's life now."
Kyuubi nodded and began the tale of Naruto's life in Konoha. How the villagers scorned and isolated Naruto, telling their children to treat him badly. How he lived in an apartment by himself and the Third's Hokage's refusal to tell him who he was. How he wasn't taught properly and made fun of for failing. How the lack of attention led to him creating a bad habit of slacking off and pulling pranks.
Naruto's special graduation exam and the reveal of his Jinchuuriki status. His assignment to team Kakashi and the bad relations between him and his teammates.
Naruto's first mission outside the village and the freedom of Wave Country, along with the naming of The Great Naruto Bridge. The first, second and third part of the Chunin exams and Naruto being blown off Kakashi for the Uchiha. Naruto meets Jiraiya and gets trained by him. Jiraiya's smart idea of throwing Naruto down a ravine to force him to summon a toad.
At the end of the tale, both Minato and Kushina were crying at the misfortune of their son, while Gilgamesh wore a frown.
"Honestly Minato that village wasn't worth saving. I would have chosen to save my family instead of sacrificing my own child." Kyuubi mocked getting a glare from Minato.
"I have to agree with the kitsune. You made a foolish choice in having the boy's status publicized like that." said Gilgamesh, shaking his head in disappointment. "As long as the boy stays here he will be under the foot of the village. And I refuse to have my successor live such a life any longer."
"But what do you suggest we do? He'll be hunted down as a missing-nin." said Kushina, understanding that Konoha was never a home to Naruto.
"I have an idea. But first," said Gilgamesh. He turned to Kyuubi "Kyuubi, I offer you a chance at freedom." This shocked the other occupants.
"NO!" shouted Kushina.
"You want to free Kyuubi!? Don't you know how dangerous that is!?" shouted Minato in a furious tone. "You could kill Naruto letting it out! Besides I gave it to Naruto in hopes that he would use its power to protect himself in the future."
"Can you not talk about me like I'm a thing!" growled out Kyuubi.
"Silence don't you dare disrespect me! My power will be enough for him to survive. Besides he won't have any 'Chakra' to wield the beast's power soon." said Gilgamesh, giving the couple a harsh glare.
"What is the catch? There's always a catch." said Kyuubi, wanting to know what he was getting into.
"All I ask is that you be this boy's friend." asked Gilgamesh, shocking the other occupants for a second time. "For this boy will need a close companion on his journey." His mind flashed with the image of a green haired man.
"You want me to be friends with this brat? Never. He's too rude and brash." replied Kyuubi.
"Well what do you expect given his upbringing. He had no parents to teach him manners and to show him affection." said Gilgamesh with a deadpan. "That Third Hokage certainly didn't do the boy any favors by leaving him clueless to his origins." He shook his head. He then thought for a moment and snapped his fingers "I know. How about you test the boy to see if he is someone you could trust to have your back?"
Thinking about it, Kyuubi decided to humor the king and agreed. Minato and Kushina stood at the side, worried at how their son would react to them. They all heard a groan and saw that Naruto was waking up. He then saw that he was in his seal, but there were extra occupants there.
"Who are you people? What are you doing in my mind?" he questioned, a little scared.
Gilgamesh walked forward, stretching out his right arm for Naruto to grab. "Calm yourself child. We mean you no harm. I am Gilgamesh, Ruler of Uruk and the First Hero in my world." He pulled Naruto up, and dusted off the boy's shoulders "That golden key-sword you found was the key to my vault, which holds all the treasures and knowledge I've gathered. This makes you its owner and my successor." This shocked Naruto, not able to comprehend the full weight of what was said.
Kushina walked forward and said "Hello Naruto. My name is Kushina Uzumaki and that," she pointed at Minato "is Minato Namikaze. We're your parents. It's been so long since we last saw you."
Tears began to gather in Naruto's eyes, his emotions varied at the revelation of his parents. But in that moment he chose anger, dashing forward and striking Minato in the crotch. The older man let out a girlish wail, and crumbled to the ground.
"Why?" he groaned out. Kushina and Gilgamesh giggling, while Kyuubi let out a burst of laughter.
"DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID TO ME!? HOW MUCH I SUFFERED BECAUSE OF YOU!? I WAS CALLED A DEMON, KICKED OUT OF STORES AND TREATED LIKE THE PLAGUE!? HOW COULD YOU SEAL THE KYUUBI INTO YOUR OWN SON!?" roared Naruto, his eyes crimson.
"Naruto sweetie please calm down, you're drawing on Kyuubi's chakra." spoke Kushina. Seeing him calm down she continued "Now Naruto, Gil here has an offer for you. But before you hear it, the Kyuubi has something to say first." She gestured to the beast behind the cage.
"Listen well brat. I have a little test to see if you are worthy of my trust. I will tell you a story and you have to remain quiet until I'm done, got it?" spoke Kyuubi. Naruto nodded in agreement.
Kyuubi began his tale, starting with the appearance of a woman called Kaguya. How she consumed the Chakra Fruit from the plant known as the God Tree and became the first person to wield chakra. How she used her newly acquired Rinne Sharingan to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi, which entrapped the world in a genjutsu that showed the victims their deepest desires. She was originally viewed as a benevolent deity, but then later seen as a demon for her harsh act of turning people trapped in the Infinite Tsukuyomi into White Zetsus.
How she amassed her White Zetsu army in preparation for her clansmen who would arrive to steal her chakra. She became a tyrant, erasing all those who opposed her. She would eventually give birth to her sons Hagoromo and Hamura, both having their own chakra. She grew jealous that they inherited some of her power. That jealousy eventually grew to the point where she couldn't accept it and merged with the God Tree, becoming the Ten Tails to regain her chakra from them. Hagoromo and Hamura fought her, with the fight changing the land as they fought her.
The battle lasted for months, with Hamura and Hagoromo eventually getting the opportunity to seal her away, ending her rain of terror. The Ten Tails' chakra was sealed into Hagoromo, while its husk was sealed into the moon. Hamura migrated some of the clan onto the moon, to keep watch over the husk of Ten Tails.
Eventually Hagoromo used the power of the Rinnegan, which he attained during the fight with Kaguya, to split the Ten Tails' chakra into pieces to create the 9 Bijuu. Kurama the Nine Tailed Fox, Gyuki the Eight Tailed Ushi-Oni, Chomei the Seven Tailed Beetle, and Saiken the Six Tailed Slug. Kokuo the Five Tailed Dolphin Horse, Son Goku the Four Tailed Ape, Isobu the Three Tailed Turtle, Matatabi the Two Tailed Bakeneko, and Shukaku the One Tailed Tanuki. Each had sentience and their own personalities.
Centuries passed and the Tailed Beast watched over the Elemental Nations, until Hashirama Senju deemed them too dangerous to leave out. He captured Kurama and his brethren, giving them to the other Shinobi Villages as peace offerings. They were sealed in human hosts, beginning the Jinchuuriki system.
Kurama was sealed in Hashirama's wife Mito Uzumaki, since her Uzumaki traits made it possible to contain his massive power. Eventually Mito died, with Kurama being transferred to Kushina. Then came the night of October 10th. Minato and Kushina cut in to tell this part.
Kushina was giving birth to Naruto, while Minato was monitoring the seal to prevent Kurama from Naruto was out, a masked Uchiha claiming to be Madara threatened Naruto's safety. While Minato secured Naruto, the assailant kidnapped Kushina and released Kurama from her. He used his Sharingan to control Kurama and set him loose in the Village.
Minato engaged the fake Madara and eventually released his control over Kurama and teleported him away from the village. He and Kushina decided it was best to seal Kurama into Naruto, so Kushina restrained him with her chains while Minato prepared for the sealing. Kurama, in an attempt to keep his freedom, aimed his claws at baby Naruto. Only for Kushina and Minato to take a claw to the gut protecting him. Minato then used the Reaper Death Seal and sealed all of Kurama into Naruto. Giving their last words to Naruto, the two parents then passed on while sealing imprints of their chakra into the seal. They also mentioned naming Jiraiya as his godfather.
"Wait he's my godfather? Why the hell would he throw me down a ravine then? Why is he just now coming into my life?" questioned Naruto in sadness. "And the old man Third, he knew this whole time and lied to my damn face. Can I really trust no one in this damn village? Is it cause I'm a jinchuuriki?"
"This is why I hate humanity, those Damn Uchiha's even more. You all demonized us and locked us away like wild animals, abusing our power for war. And mistreating our hosts as well." Kurama growled out with venom. Minato and Kushina flinched at that, while Gilgamesh had a thoughtful look on his face.
"Your world's history is quite interesting. Though that Kaguya reminds me too much of the gods of my world." he said in a disgusted tone. "But now young Naruto I believe you should take the time to think about Kurama's tale."
And he did, taking some time to go over Kurama said. Finding out that the Sage of Six Paths was real was amazing. Learning that the Bijuu all had names and personalities was interesting to say the least. But what really stood out to him was how the Kurama understood his pain more than anyone else. With that thought in mind, he made a decision.
"I want to free you." said Naruto, shocking the Kurama greatly. "You suffered just like me. You understand my pain more than anyone else can. After hearing your story, I can't bring myself to keep you here anymore. I would be a hypocrite to treat you like a monster, when I've been treated the same way." Kushina and Minato smiled at this, while Gilgamesh gained a fierce grin.
"This brat. He really is something else." thought Kurama. He then saw a familiar looking silhouette behind the boy. It had eyes that were a glowing purple with rings in them. "Could it be… Father?"
"Well color me impressed. That is an answer that surprised even me." Gilgamesh laughed at this. "Now and hear my offer, young Naruto," Seeing that he had the boy's attention he continued "Right now my saint graph or soul is changing you. You will lose this chakra your people use, and gain a Divine Magic Core along with a varying amount of magic circuits. They work similar to the chakra network you used to have, but it carries mana which is the energy used for magic."
"So magic is real in your world?" interrupted Naruto, with excitement in his voice.
"Yes and it has just as many applications, if not more than chakra does. Anyway, back to my offer," Gil said waving his hand "You also gain access to the various weapons and tools in my vault. There is one specific tool that can allow limited use of the Second Magic Kaleidoscope. This magic governs the operation of parallel dimensions." This shocked Naruto and his parents. "This is my offer. Use that tool to travel to a different dimension. In addition, I will be training you in the use of the gate and how to act as a king. You are my successor and I can't have you making a fool of yourself. For magic, weapons, mental and physical training, I have something in mind."
Naruto thought for a moment before nodding and said "I accept your offer King Gilgamesh, or should I say father." This shocked Gilgamesh, filling his heart with a warm feeling and making him smile.
"Yes from now on you shall be known as Naruto Uruk, son of King Gilgamesh of Uruk." he said with great pride.
Naruto nodded, then turned toward his biological parents and saw they were beginning to fade. He ran forward, grabbing them into a hug. "I love you guys. You will always have a place in my heart. Dad, I forgive you. I realize you had no other choice." He let them go and continued "I'll miss you guys."
"We'll miss you too. I just want to say thank you for letting me be your mother, and for letting Minato be your father. Thank you for being our son. Thank you… Thank you!" she shouted with tears flowing down her face as she finally disappeared.
"Take care son and your mother said everything else." said Minato with a cheeky smile as he disappeared.
Naruto had a sad smile on his face. He turned to speak to Kurama, when Gilgamesh suddenly spoke "Do you plan on revealing yourself, old man?" Naruto was going to question him about who he was talking to before a deep voice:
"I merely didn't want to waste the time the boy's parents had left, I am patient."
Turning around, Naruto is greeted to an interesting sight. It was a tall and pale-skinned man, who had deep wrinkles and a strong jawline in his elderly age. He had spiky, shoulder-length, pale brown hair, with a chin-length, braided lock hanging in front of his left ear.
He also sported a goatee, which tapered down to his waist in his old age. He had a pair of horn-like protrusions extending from either side of his forehead. His eyes were a light purple, with rings in it.
He floated, while sitting in a lotus position. Below him were nine black orbs that floated in a circle formation.
"Father!" shouted Kurama with concealed joy.
"Father?... Wait, the Sage of Six Paths!?" shouted Naruto, shocked at seeing the literal God of Shinobi here.
"It is good to see you again, Kurama. And nice to meet you, young Naruto and King Gilgamesh." said Hagoromo. Gilgamesh smiled at getting his respect.
"What brings you here, old one?" questioned Gilgamesh, intrigued by the power radiating from Hagoromo.
"It actually involves the possible return of my mother and young Naruto's role in that." said Hagoromo "You will need to return to this world eventually." This caused Kurama to growl
"Father you can't be serious. This world has strayed from your teachings. You would force Naruto to save the same people that scorned him?" Kurama asked, not believing what he just heard.
"Kurama stop. I hold no hate for Konoha, but I hold no love as well. They've lied to me and mistreated me for too long." said Naruto, surprising the occupants. "I'm not going to let the actions of a few govern the fate of this entire world. You know how much of a threat Kaguya is." Turning to Hagoromo he said "I understand you have something for me then."
Hagoromo nodded, then gathered white chakra in his index finger as his Rinnegan glowed with power. He then pressed his finger in the middle of Naruto's forehead, causing Naruto to get a headache and stumble. Gilgamesh moved to Naruto checking his forehead and was shocked when Naruto opened his eyes. Both his eyes were now in the form of the Rinnegan, though it was golden in color.
"You gave the boy mystic eyes. They look just like your's." stated Gilgamesh. Hagoromo nodded.
"Your world has its own form of Doujutsus? Hmm, interesting." said Hagoromo. "Yes I did try to give him the Rinnegan, but it seems to have mutated due to interacting with this "mana" you've given him."
"Rinne huh?" said Naruto thinking for a moment, before snapping his fingers. "That it, we'll call them The Mystic Eyes of Saṃsāra."
"A fine name for such divine eyes, my son." said Gilgamesh.
"I'm not sure how much they've changed, but Kurama will be around to help you figure it out." spoke Hagoromo.
"He's right brat. You've managed to impress me with how quickly you matured. You will have my aid." Kurama said in a friendly tone. He then made his hand into a fist and moved it in front of Naruto. "Bump my fist, friend." Naruto did so with a cheeky grin on his face. Gilgamesh smiled, his mind flashing back to his dear friend Enkidu.
They then notice Hagoromo beginning to fade. He gave Kurama a sad smile and said "It appears that my time with you is almost at an end. My son I hope you can forgive this old man for how you've been treated." Turning to Gilgamesh "I thank you again King Gilgamesh." And finally Naruto "I wish you good luck in your endeavors. I will appear before you when it is close to the final battle."
He then faded away, giving one last smile to the trio.
Naruto clapped his hands and said "All right, first we get out of this realm and then we free you, alright Kurama." The Bijuu nodded and then Naruto disappeared from his mindscape.
(Konohagakure, Ravine)
There was a flash of gold, before it died down, revealing Naruto with a new appearance. His eyes were now a deep crimson, while his hair had grown longer and was pushed back, with two strands in the front. He was clad in an orange long sleeve shirt with a black jacket over it. He had black jeans with a chain hanging from his pocket and black dress shoes (2).
"All right, father, how do I summon this Kaleidoscope tool?" asked Naruto.
{"Allow me to take over. You're still inexperienced at using the gate."}spoke Gilgamesh in his mind. Naruto nodded and was covered in gold aura before it died down and his eyes snapped open glowing white.
With a wave of his hands, a golden portal opened up next to him and displayed a strange looking blade. It is a ritual dagger with a silver jeweled blade, an alien technology embodying general knowledge from a far future, beyond the reach of modern man. This is the Jewel Sword Zelretch. Named after the wielder of the 2nd True Magic Kaleidoscope himself, Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg.
Taking it in his hand he charges it with mana, causing it to glow a rainbow of different colors. Then comes the hard part.
"S-Sparkle and Shine!" he called out, gritting his teeth in frustration and embarrassment. "This Wish is mine!" He began to move the blade in a circular motion, creating a thin white line as he did. "To leave this world is my plea. Allow this Magical Girl to be free" almost done, "Kaleidio Sword Zelretch, Activate!"
He finished moving the blade, leaving an outline of a circle. The outline then turned into a portal that glowed multiple colors. The glow in Naruto's eyes died down, signaling that he was back in control.
"The hell was that?" asked Naruto, confused and embarrassed.
{"That unfortunately was the incantation needed to activate the sword. The creator had some weird obsession with magical girls."} said Gilgamesh {"Anyway get a move on!"}
Naruto nodded, jumping through the portal with it closing right behind him. His last thought being "I cast aside this old life and old ways for better ones."
A few moments later Jiraiya arrived at the base of the ravine and was greeted to the sight of Naruto's old clothes on the ground.
"This isn't good." he said in a worried tone.
(Enchanted Forest)
It was night time, the only ones out were a few nighttime animals here and there, but they soon scattered when something landed in the clearing.
The portal that spat the teen out closed. There was Naruto Uruk, looking amazed by the new place he arrived at. He then clapped the sides of his face.
"All right time to free you Kurama." said Naruto as he sat down in a lotus position and meditated himself into his mindscape.
(Naruto's Mindscape)
He appeared before the seal, Gilgamesh laying against one of the bars. He floated up to the sealing tag, ripping it off. He then summoned a portal, getting a feeling for it after Gil summoned it the first time. Out came an iridescent and jagged dagger that is thin, brittle, and blunt. This was Rule Breaker, the sword of negation and betrayal, wielded by Medea of Colchis, the Witch of Betrayal.
Channeling his mana into the dagger, the blade glowed a deep purple as he jabbed it into the lock of the seal shouting "Rule Breaker!" Purple cracks began to form over the gate, before it shattered. Gilgamesh then pointed a finger at the freed Kurama shooting a white light into him.
"What was that?" questioned Kurama.
"I just bestowed on you the ability to control your size. Can't have you knocking over buildings can we?" replied Gilgamesh making Kurama blush.
"You're right. Anyway I'll see you outside Naruto." said Kurama. Naruto nodded and Kurama glowed red and shrunk into a small red ball before shooting out of the sewer.
"Before you leave, please change your mindscape. I refuse to stay in this sewer any longer." asked Gilgamesh.
"Of course father." Naruto closed his eyes focusing for a moment, before his mindscape changed from a sewer to a lush grassy field, with sakura petals falling. "Enjoy." He then disappeared from his mind.
(Back in the Enchanted Forest)
He woke up and was greeted to the sight of Kurama about the size of a wolf cub. He honestly looked really adorable like this.
"~Aww who's a little cute kitsune? Yes you are yes you are~" he cooed, embarrassing Kurama.
"Silence! I am Kurama, the strongest of the Bijuu. A walking force of nature and I will not be treated like a damn pet!" he huffed with a blush on his face.
"Yeah yeah I got you buddy." said Naruto as he picked Kurama up and placed him on his shoulder. "Well time to find some civilization. Hopefully there's a library so I could learn about this world's history."
{"Yes, gathering information is priority right now. We're in a brand new place we know nothing about. Make haste my son."} said Gilgamesh.
Nodding his head Naruto began his journey to find information on this new world.
(10 Months Later)
Once he found civilization, a now fourteen year old Naruto began to adapt to the world, getting a better understanding of the new fantasy-world that he was now a part of. It was full of princesses and princes, all children of different fairytale parents, such as Snow White and the Evil Queen. There was also a school known as Ever After High, a high School for the next generation of fairy tales. Where spellbinding students are destined (or not) to follow in the footsteps of their fairytale parents. Gilgamesh suggested he attend in a couple of months, so he filled out an application.
The past few months he had spent doing light physical training, along with learning how to use the gate and researching this world. Gilgamesh had gone into full detail about the Gate of Babylon, explaining that it is the storehouse that he built to store all the world's treasures he claimed in life, referred to as the "Divine Gate". It connects the space of reality to the vault, opening an "invisible door" between dimensions that allows for the contents to pass through upon their owner's command. Allowing for easy access to the items of the treasury, he would be able to pick and utilize them as he pleases.
Within the gate were a multitude of things such as riches, clothing, technology, weapons, knowledge on the history of Gilgamesh's world and even special items known as Noble Phantasms.
These are "crystallized mysteries", powerful armaments made using the imagination of humans as their core, and are the weapons and/or abilities owned by Heroic Spirits. As humanity's illusions, they embody the ultimate mysteries of a hero as symbols of their existence through historical fact and anecdotes. They can be physical weaponry (e.g. swords, spears, bows) or support items (e.g. shields, rings, crowns). There are some that come in the form of abilities as well. Every Noble Phantasm in the vault is a prototype of the ones used by heroic legends from Gilgamesh's world.
For example, Gilgamesh has a Noble Phantasm known as Sha Naqba Imuru. It is the mentality of Gil said to have "spread across all corners of the world as if the brilliance of the stars, seeing through all creation." It is constantly active, but Gilgamesh keeps it intentionally restrained. Possessing tremendous efficiency, it can discern heavily concealed truths with a single glance. It also works as a high tier clairvoyance skill.
It was now the month of October, three days after Naruto's birthday. He had spent it with Kurama, just relaxing at home and enjoying a small banquet of food. Right now, Naruto was in the backyard of his new house, which he recently purchased with some gold from his gate. It was two stories with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with a spacious backyard. He was clad in only black shorts and a white muscle shirt. Kurama was next him, watching in interest. On the ground was a giant magic circle that Gilgamesh had him draw. In the middle of the circle were several artifacts from Naruto's gate.
"What is the purpose of this father?" questioned Naruto.
{"You will be summoning your teachers, my son. You remember what I told you about the Throne of Heroes and Heroic Spirits?"} spoke Gilgamesh in a calm tone. {"That is why I had you pick up those specific artifacts. They will be a catalyst for specific heroic spirits I want for your education. They will also serve as valuable allies when you return to your home dimension."}
Naruto mentally nodded, remembering Gilgamesh's lesson on that subject. Heroic Spirits can be summoned as familiars using a specific ritual that connects to the throne of Heroes. They come in 7 different classes: Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Caster, Assassin and Berserker. There were also some extra classes known as: Ruler, Avenger, Alter Ego, Foreigner and Moon Cancer.
"Hurry up already! I'm interested in seeing how strong these Heroic Spirits are!" said Kurama, in a battle hungry tone.
"All right, all right I'm starting," said Naruto as he began to chant:
"Let silver and steel be the essence.
Let stone and the archduke of contracts be the foundation.
Let black be the color I pay tribute to.
Let rise a wall against the wind that shall fall.
Let the four cardinal gates close.
Let the three-forked road from the crown reaching unto the Kingdom rotate.
Let it be declared now;
your flesh shall serve under me, and my fate shall be with your sword.
Submit to the beckoning of the Holy Grail.
Answer, if you would submit to this will and this truth.
An oath shall be sworn here.
I shall attain all virtues of all of Heaven;
I shall have dominion over all evils of all of Hell.
Come forth O'Heroes
Serve this blooming king
Nurture me and we shall prosper
Follow me and we shall be victorious
From the Seventh Heaven,
attended to by three great words of power,
come forth from the ring of restraint,
protector of the holy balance!"
Red command seals appeared on his hand in the form of a Rinnegan with 6 rings and 3 tomoe in each ring. The circle flashed a blinding light and exploded with power kicking up dust, as he finished. As the light died down, here heard several voices speak:
"I ask of you, are you my master?"
He was greeted to the sight of five different beings standing in a circular formation, though their appearances were blocked by the dust. He then spoke "I am your master. The command seals on my hand are proof. Inform me of your classes and names."
"The contract is sealed." they all replied as the dust settled, revealing their appearances.
"Servant Archer, Chiron Teacher of Heroes." The first one said. He is a calm-looking man, with long brown hair and green eyes. He wears a somewhat archaic style of dress, without any traits to reveal his identity. He was a man of delicate features clad in leather armor. Indeed, the style of his appearance was truly that of a bowman.
"Servant Lancer, Scathath the Witch of Dun Scaith." The second one said. She has long purple hair and red eyes, and wears a full-body outfit that highlights her curvaceous body, with metallic shoulder pads. In her hand, a blood red spear that gives off a feeling of death. This is Gae Bolg, the cursed spear that brings certain death.
"Servant Caster, Medea of Colchis." The third one said. She has long blue hair and blue eyes. She has knife shaped ears, like that of an elf. She wears a hooded bluish-purple robe.
"Servant Assassin, King Hassan the First Hassan." The fourth one said. He wears an intimidating thick black armor that conceals his whole body and a skull themed mask. Blue flames dance around his form. He feels as if he's death itself.
"Servant Caster, Merlin the Magus of Flowers." the fifth one said. He has long pinkish white hair and purple eyes. He wears a robe woven with the finest fabrics, though he still looks modest.
"Servant Archer, EMIYA the Wrought Iron Hero." the final one said. He wears a black tight and sleeveless shirt with silver accents which outlined his muscles and a metal plate on his collar, and black pants that had two black straps on his thighs, and another two strapped around his shins separate from each other. He wears black metal plated shoes, which appear to be attached to his trousers. Over them he has two red sleeves connected by a metal plate in the back and a red skirt attached to his trousers.
Naruto's body glowed before the ghostly figure of Gilgamesh appeared. EMIYA flinched at the sight of him, which Gil noticed.
"Greetings fellow Heroic Spirits. I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes and Wise King of Uruk. You have been summoned here to aid me in the training of my heir, Naruto Uruk. " He gestured to Naruto "He found the key to my Gate of Babylon, which contained a copy of my saint graph that he absorbed, turning him into a Demi-Servant. I will let him give you the details of his situation."
Naruto began his tale, summarizing his life in the village. He then explained how he came to acquire the key to Gilgamesh's vault and the meeting between him, his parents and Gilgamesh. He then skimmed over the history of his world and Hagoromo's warning of Kaguya's return. Finally he went over the basics of the realm they were currently in.
"So let me get this straight. You came to this realm to have the freedom to train and rehabilitate yourself. In a couple of years, you have to face the possibility of a deity level threat back on your home world. And the realm we are currently in is a fantasy land where children of fairy tale figures go to school to be trained in following the path of their parents and keep their stories alive. And we're tasked with preparing you for this upcoming task." said EMIYA.
"Yep. You got pretty much everything." said Naruto with a cheeky grin.
"Curse my E-Rank luck." said EMIYA, facepalming.
"Tis quite the predicament thou art involved in Contractor." spoke King Hassan in a deep voice.
"I agree with Assassin. But I will aid you in any way I can master." spoke Merlin in a giddy tone. "Oh I haven't trained anyone since Artoria!"
"Hmm indeed. It will be like training Cu all over again. And you have so many weapons to become a master with." said Scathath with a reminiscing smile.
"Hm, there is no presence of Gaia in this realm. My magecraft will be way more useful." said EMIYA with a thoughtful look.
"It will be nice to have another student to train. Be ready for hell." said Chiron with a smile.
"If education is what thou seeks, then I may be of use to thee." said King Hassan.
Medea walked forward, looking deep into her master's eyes and saying "Do you promise to treat us as equals? Not to turn on us?"
Naruto knew why she was asking this. He read about her tale and the injustice she faced at the hands of Jason and Persephone. She wants to know he is trustworthy.
"I swear to you, all of you that we shall be equals. If I ever abuse your power or trust then I shall hand over my head to the King Hassan." he said with a fiery conviction.
Medea smiled at this and bowed to him saying "Then I look forward to teaching my master. I hope you can keep up."
"Oh I plan to. I don't want any of you to hold back against me." he said to all his servants, no friends. His servants nodded in acceptance. "So anyone hungry?"
"I'll cook master. And from now one the kitchen is mine!" said EMIYA with a fierce look "Nobody enters or touches anything!"
Everyone laughed at the servant's antics before heading inside. Naruto stayed back and thought to himself "This is turning out to be a really interesting adventure. Mom, dad I hope you're watching me up there. "
(11 Months Later)
It was now the month of September, and today was the first day of Ever After High. It had been a productive few months for Naruto.
For physical and weapons training, Chiron and Scathath didn't pull any punches. They had put him into rigorous physical training that was not made for regular humans. His body would be screaming but they wouldn't stop. They had pummeled into ground, with him improving with each fight until he could trade blows with them. He was also taught archery by Emiya, swordplay from Merlin and spear/pole-arms by Scathath. He also occasionally sparred with King Hassan, though he would always lose. He vowed to one day make him yield.
For mage craft training, they had decided to check his circuit quality and his Elements and Origin. In addition to his magic core with A rank quality, he had 40 magic circuits of high quality making his mana output really high. For his element, he had an affinity for all five Great Elements, making him an Average One, while he had a dual origin of {King} and {Shinobi}. He had no idea of how to utilize them though, with his teacher being very vague about it.
For spells, Scathath taught him about Primeval Runes, while EMIYA taught him about Projection, Alteration and Structural Analysis. Medea taught him elemental spells and her Rain of Light spell, which turned gold for him. Merlin taught him the Gandr curse and its stronger variant Finn Shot, along with some healing magecraft.
He also gained a potion from Medea, granting him an advanced healing factor possibly better than the one he had when he was Kurama's jinchuuriki. Kurama also aided him in partially understanding the basics of his Mystic Eyes.
With Gilgamesh, he had gotten more kingly wisdom and practice with the gate. He had practice with some of the Noble Phantasms as well, marveling at their destructive power. Though Gilgamesh had banned him from using one in particular, Ea The Sword of Rupture. He deemed it only usable when the situation was truly dire, since even the lowest output could level a couple of buildings. Gilgamesh had also told Naruto of his legend, allowing him to grow closer with Naruto. Naruto after hearing Gil's tale was shocked and saddened by his loss and sympathized with him.
(Ever After High, Morning)
We now find a 15 year old Naruto making his way towards a tall castle-like building. He was wearing his usual casual outfit and had Kurama on his shoulder. He honestly was excited to go here and meet new people. As he was walking, he passed a certain girl with a red hood. As he passed her, she got a whiff of his scent, making her eyes widen and looked towards him, thinking to herself, "Who was that guy? He smells like an alpha. And those whiskers really give him that wild look." As she finished thinking that she shook her head to get rid of those thoughts. Once her head was clear, she lost sight of the blond.
Naruto reached the front entrance, ignoring all the girls ogling at him. Suddenly everyone began to run away yelling about the "evil queen's daughter" called "Raven Queen". He looked to his left and standing there was a girl with long, wavy black hair with purple streaks tied into a single braid at the back and parted at the top to back room for her spiky tiara. She has violet, magenta, and purple-maroon streaks in her black hair.
Raven has fair skin, or rather, pale skin, and purple eyes. She has long, thick lashes, dark purple lipstick, and light-purple eyeshadow. Her eyelashes go into a wing at the end and so does her shadow.
She wore a black and purple dress with a silver shoulder-pad-for-sleeves holder with silver feathered sleeves and a high, feathery collar, and a purple pendant in the middle; her dress also has a chain, belt-like accessory around the waist, she wears fishnet stockings, and open-toed short-wedged-high-heeled boots with buckles and an opening in the backs for shoes.
Next to her was another girl with curly and wavy hair that comes in three colors: dark turquoise, mint green, and dark purple or violet. She has bright blue-teal eyes and light skin. She wears a magenta puffy-sleeved layered dress with a blue bow around the waist. White leggings cover her legs. They are blue-spotted. She wears white-cream shoes with gold teapot-handle-resembling wedges or heels at the bottom of them.
He heard Raven say how she wants to choose her own destiny and not be in her mother's shadow to the other girl. Naruto smiled at this and walked over to her saying "I couldn't agree more. There is no such thing as destiny and we should pave our own paths." She turned to him and he put his hand forward "Oh sorry I'm Naruto Uruk, son of King Gilgamesh of Uruk. Nice to meet you."
Raven blushed getting a good look at him before replying "Oh hi. As you've probably heard I'm Raven Queen, the Evil Queen's daughter." Naruto could sense her nervousness.
"And I'm Maddie Hatter! Daughter of the Mad Hatter!" said the other girl in a super bubbly tone, while jumping on his back. "Omg, those whiskers are hat-tastic!" She kept continuously poking his cheek, but he didn't mind.
How will Naruto's arrival interfere with the school? Will he be a rebel or a royal, though considering he was the heir of a demigod king, will he accept the royal part? Or will he rebel against the choice?

Author's Note #1
Hope that you all remember to be safe with this pandemic spreading across the world, and remember to always wash your hands, and to not Panic Buy. And remember you need to follow the rules, so that no one else gets it.
1) Caster Gilgamesh the Wise King of Uruk
2) Look at the cover photo.
Hello readers this is Giblenator speaking. As you can see we have Naruto as the heir of the Wise King Gilgamesh from Fate Grand Order and he's attending Ever After High. Naruto has also summoned some Heroic Spirits to tutor him and aid him. Naruto will be returning to the Elemental Nations around the time he turns 16. So he has 3 years to train up and prepare for Kaguya's possible return. Let me know if I should make Kaguya the final villain or Madara.
Now onto Naruto's eyes. They're basically the Rinnegan in the form of mutated Mystic eyes. I named them The Mystic Eyes of Samsara because Rinne means Samsara in English. It keeps the Six Paths Techniques, except Outer Path. For his eyes' unique ability, I'm giving him the Susanoo.
I am also thinking of including heroic spirit legends in the Story Book of Legends and possibly introducing some of their descendants. There's gonna be an Enkidu for Naruto's story most likely. Let me know what you guys think about that.
Don't be afraid to comment. I take all types of comments, except flamers. Your comments let me improve my writing and fix any mistakes made.
And that's all readers. Hope you enjoyed the chapter and stay tuned for the next one. This is Giblenator signing off.
