Chapter 1 -Unwanted Message

Igros castle; a mighty castle to the west of Gariland Magic City. For many years the castle has been the seat of power for the nation of Gallione as well as the home of the mighty Beoulve family the leaders of the Hokuten Knights. Now adays however it's no longer the seat of power for Gallione since the nation no longer exists. As does neither Lionel, Limberry, Zeltennia or any other individual nation. All the nations are now one under the rule of King Delita, the first ruler of the Ivalice Nation. Delita rose to power during the height of the Lion's War as he united the people in order to fight against the Galabados Church and the demonic Zodiac Braves. Along with his trusted friend Ramza Beoulve, who took command of the Hokuten Knights after his brother Zalbag had been killed by their other brother Dycedarg fell into demonic lure, and a stranger from another land Naruto Beoulve, the Holy Knight of Ivalice.

Inside his room in Igros castle Naruto sleeps, but it is anthing but peaceful. His eyes and body all show that he's caught in a dream. A dream that constantly comes no matter how much he tries to block them out. The dreams that force him to relive his last days in the Elemental nations.

At the Valley of the End the two warriors stare the other down in a dead lock. On one side stands Naruto Uzumaki; the other stands Sasuke Uchiha. One is trying to ring his friend back to their home; the other is on a quest for power. Neither of the two knows how long they've been fighting, but their torn clothes, battered bodies, and heavy breathing are all sighns that the fight has been going on for a while.

On the one side Naruto stands ready to continue the fight. His body engulfed in the Kyuubi's red chakara. Across from him Sasuke stands equally ready. His body having just finished it level two Curse Mark transformation which has given him hand like wings and made his skin a dark grayish color. Both stand ready to make the final attack. Naruto attempted to lift his right arm, but grunts in pain as the Kyuubi's chakra has taken a heavy toll on his body. Instead he lifts his other arm and begins to form the Rasengan. Seeing the damage Sasuke feels confident. With the Curse Seal's power added to his own his Chidori would easily overwhelm Naruto's attack. Sasuke wastes no more time and begins to form the hand seals; both in a race to finish powering up their attacks. As Sasuke finishes the last hand he grabs his wrist and starts to shout "Chidor-." He's unable to finish the move as a hand made of red chakra suddenly grabs him.

Naruto smiles triumphantly. He'd baited Sasuke into thinking his arms was useless and now he's got him right where he wants him. Pulling with all his might Naruto drags Sasuke towards him; cocking his arm back he waits until Sasuke is close enough before launching it forward and shouting, "RASENGAN!" The spinning orb hits Sasuke sqaure in the stomach; forcing all the air in his lungs, along with some blood, to leave his body. Wasting no time Naruto releases the Rasengan and begins to pummel Sasuke with his fist; it takes several hard hits to the head, but soon Sasuke is down on the ground unconcious. Naruto lets out a loud victory roar before the last of the Kyuubi's power leaves his body. More exhausted than he can ever remember being Naruto falls to his knees. He looks over at Sasuke and says nothing; he just smiles triumphantly. A cocky grin knowing that the best in their class was beaten by the worst. Naruto moves towards Sasuke and tries to pick him up, but his body has no energy left. He tries to use his Shadow Clone jutsu, but he's also out of chakra. Suddenly he hears voice calling out to the two; Naruto turns and see his one eye sensei Kakashi Hatake comming towards them. Naruto raises his hand to waive, but he doesn't even make it half way before darkness over takes him and he falls to the ground passed out.

He doesn't remeber much after passing out. He remebers clearly though thinking, ' this is it, this is where my life changes.' He was right, his would change. Just not in the way he thought it would.

In the dimly lit room Naruto rested; both his body and chakra exhausted from trying to keep on equal footing with Sasuke. To an on looker he looks as though he's resting peacefuly; inreality howeverthat is far from the truth. In his dreams Naruto is reliving the battle with Sasuke; every punch, every jutsu, and every word the two exchanged. Eventually the dream became too much for Naruto as he suddenly bolts up in his bed in a cold sweat breathing heavily. Groggily he swings his stiff legs out of bed and attempts to stand; he's a little shaky at first, but soon he feels his strength return and is able to move around. He makes his way to the door and attempts to open it, but finds that it is locked.

"Hello is any one out there?"

He continues to shout for several minutes, but gets no answer. He tries to create a shadow clone but finds that he's unable to mold his chakra for some reason. Sitting back on the bed he stares at the cieling for an unknown amount of time until he finally hears the door open and several Anbu enter the room. Without a word they throw him to the ground, put on chakra suppresant cuffs around his wrists, a bag over his head before they drag him from the room.

Naruto had no idea what's going on, or where he's going. Soon, after around twenty or so minutes, he's roughly sat in to a chair and the bag removed from his head. He easily recognizes that he's in the council chambers of the Hokage tower; on both sides of him are the civilian and shinobi councils, all of which who are scowling at him, and in front of him is the Hokage Tsunade and her advisors who are all wearing scowls as well. Danzo standsand addresses the chamber.

"Naruto Uzumaki; do you know why you are here?"

Wearily Naruto responds, "No I don't."

"You are here to know the punishent for your crimes."

Naruto's face becomes one of shock. "What crimes!"

"Attempted urder of clan heir; as well as exceeding the mission parameters."

"But he wouldn't return and Baa-chan said-."

"SILENCE!" Tsunade shouts. "I don't care what I told you, or how you interpeted my instructions. Because of you Sasuke will be out of commition for several months while his body heals. The people of Konoha want you gone and thats what we're going to do. Naruto Uzumaki; by order of the Hokage of Konoha you are hereby banished from our village forever. As soon as Jiraiya arrives your chakra will be sealed and then you'll be escorted out of the village. Now anbu return him to his cell."

The anbu unceremoniously grab Naruto and drag him back to his cell. A week passes before Jiraiya finally arrives; during that time various guards came and beat him out of sheer enjoyment. A member of the Yamanka clan attemtped to enter his mind to force himto relive his nightmares; but the Kyuubi atacked the man and drove him back into his body. While Naruto was gratefulfor this the man had taken a kunai and added several cuts to his torso.

When Jiraiya entered the cell he didn't even look at Naruto; instead he simply took out his supplies and began drawing an intricate seal pattern on all the walls in the room the process takes nearly an hour, but eventually it's completed and then Jiraiya turns his attention to the anbu in the room. "Leave us."

"But sir we can't the Hokage-."

"The Hokage ordered you to guard him. He may posses the power of the Kyuubi, but I'm a Sannin if he tries something I'll be more than a match for him. Now send in councilman Homura; he said he wants to watch this personally."

The anbu nod and do as their told. A few minutes after they leave Homura walks into the room; He nods to Jiraiya who begins making hand seals. Naruto braces himself for the pain that is coming, but he's shockedwhen he hears Jiraiya say, "Silence Jutsu." The room gloes brightly and then fades quickly.

"Okay were good; they can't hear us."

Naruto is confused by Jiraiya's words unti he comes over and hugs him; tears running down his face. "Naruto I'm so sorry."

"Ero-sennin I don't understand?"

"Naruto please let me explain." Homura says speakingfor the first time. "Jiraiya was contacted by Tsunade saying that he needed to run a specialmission for her and had him gather several things; while he was doing this Tsunade quickly decided your fate then locked you in here.I thought it was odd that she was waiting for Jiraiya to returnto the village just to simply seal your chakra away so I confronted her and found out she intends not seal your chakra, but have Jiraiya remove the Kyuubi and seal it into a artifact."

Jiraiya nods his head. "Once Homura learned of this he told me and together we came up with a plan to get you out of Konoha."

"But why Homura; I thought you hated me?"

"Sarutobi was my best friend. He believed in you and I never once doubted him. I know for certain that he would be sick to his stomach with what Tsunade and the other are doing. Thats whenI decided I would do whatever I could to get you out of here and thats whats were going to do."

"But-."

Jiraiya shakes his head. "No buts Naruto; we know what were doing. Now we must send you on your way. Once we activate this seal you'll be transported out of the village using the Fourth Hokage's Hirashin Jutsu to one of the many anchorage points that he set up. I set it be random so I'm sorry to not have more info for you to where you'll end up."

Homura pulls a scroll out of his robe. "Here; this contains supplies and equipment you'll need. It also has some scrolls you can use along with a item that belongs to you."

Naruto has no time to say ask about the item before Jiraiya envelopes himina hug."Good bye Gaki. Takecare of yourself."

Their are tears in Jiraiya's eyes as he begins to form the hand seals; he goes through several before he slams his hands into the edge of the array; the room glows as brightly as the sun for asplit second before fading just as quickly as it came. When the light was gone they saw that Naruto was nowhere to be seen.

"Well Homura time to go face the music."

Homura only nods and exits the room to face their punishment with pride.

Waking up from his nightmare Naruto casually sits up and breaths deeply to calm his rapidly beating heart. Its been fifteen years since he left Konoha and not a day goes by that the nightmares don't plague him no matter how well his life has changed since that day. After the Jutsu had ended he'd found himself in the woods just outside Igros castle; he didn't know how long he was there before he was discovered by a patrol of Hokuten knights escorting Balbanes Beoulve back to the castle. After determining that he was no threat he brought him back into castle where he spent a week being nursed back to health. After his strength had returned he told his story to Balbanes who felt for the boy and in the end decided to take him in as his fourth son. He can still remember to this day how excited he was to finally have an actual family.

For the next few years Naruto spent everyday training in all the weapons of the land in order to one day become a splendid knight. Naruto took to the battle skills very easily mastering all the Squire and Knight abilities within the first year. While he didn't posses the ability for magic as Ramza Balbanes discovered that he possesed skills very similar to a Holy knightwith the ability to channel energy through the sword. From that point on he became Balbanes personal apprentice until his sickness forced him to bed rest. Still not wanting him to suffer in his training Balbanes sent him to train with the Lionsgaurd until he could enter the academy with Ramza in one year. Despite being saddened about being leaving his brother and true friend Naruto found himself enjoying life in the Lionsgaurd where he ended up developing a friendly rivalry with another apprentice named Agrias Oaks. Together the two of the mmastered the basic powers of a Holy Knight until he was forced to leave to attend the academy at which he promised Agrias he would see her again.

Eventually after the Deathcorps rebellion was put down and Ramza and Naruto deserted the knights they became caught up in the grand plot of the Galabados Church to revive the Zodiac brave and control the people. Despite their reservations Ramza, Naruto, and all the others who had joined up with them over their journey agreed to fight along side Ramza's old friend Delita; with his help they were able to rally the people under one banner and after a short but bloody war were able to stop the church and all of its evil plans. After the war Delita married Princess Overlia and together the two formed the Ivalice nation. Any doubts any had about the nation have long since passed and for more than ten years the land has flourished under the united rule.

Seeing as he can no longer sleep Naruto gets up from his bed wearing nothing but night shorts he begins to do his morning stretches to work out the kinks in his body and keep fit. Over the years his body has grown much; no longer is he the short, malnourished child who came to this land. His body is now much taller as he is over six feet tall. His once wirery frame is gone and now become a man with a well tone, but not overly developed muscular frame. His body is riddled with scars from the various fight he's been in since the Kyuubi has been sealed away, Balbanes final gift before his passing, and he no longer has it regenerative powers. A heavy price, but one he's happy to pay to have the fox no longer have any influence over him.

Finishing his morning routine he dresses in a simple white shirt and brown pants along with a pair of slippers before exiting his room. Feeling hungry he heads to the dining room eats several pieces of fruit for breakfast since the chefs are busy going over plans for a banquet in the next few weeks. With his belly now satisfied he heads to his office and begins going over reports and other information gathered by the Hokuten Knights about events in the land. After an hour he's sorted the reports into two piles, ones that are low priority, and the others are ones that he'll need to show to ramza once he returns from he capital. He's almost done filing his reports when he hears a soft voice talk to him.

"Don't you have anything better to do than to be working?"

Looking up he can't help but smile at the sight before him. Agrias Oaks, or rather now Agrias Beoulve his wife of five years. Still looks as beautiful as the day he met her, though now she's a bit more filled out and none of it in the wrong way as her body posses curves that her armor hides all too well. wearing a red noble womans dress she smiles as she approaches naruto and wraps him in a tender hug.

"Well I would rather be in bed with my wife rather than working, but she felt a need to go to Dorter Trade City for a week and watch over the Queen."

Agrias laughs out loud. "Well I apologize for going to Dorter Trade City to watch over the Queen, but she insisted that she inspect the new airship port and see if theirs anything that the people needed. And like it or not I'm still one of her bodygaurds."

"But your also third in command of the Hokuten Knights. What would you have done if something happened to me and Ramza?"

"Celebrated my promotion?"

Naruto gives a look of mock horror before the two burst out laughing. For the rest of the day Naruto gives Agrias his complete undivided attention as she talks about the Dorter Trade City inspection. That night the two goto bed early and catch up on the time they've been apart. At breakfast the next day they are brought a message that makes Naruto go as white as a sheet.

"What is it my love?" Agrias asks

"We are both to report to Leslia as soon as possible and meet with the King."

"Why, what's going on that requires us?"

"It's me he only wants, but I need you to come with me to help me."

Seeing the strange look on her face he continues. "We've recived an official invitation to go to a special conference over in the Elemental nations. Some kind of trouble is brewing and Delita probrably wants me to go with him to help advise."

"I see, but whats going on that your so troubled?"

"The gathering is in Konoha. My former homeland"

Well R&R and tell me if this is better.
