Hello this is Serpentrepent and I decided to try my hand at a Naruto and Magic the Gathering cross-over. I thought I should let you know that I'm only going to use info from the MtG worlds as a template to guide me not as an absolute rule. This Story Was Beta'd by CreedKeeper

It was again the 10th of October, the day of the Kyuubi's ill fated attack on the Village of Konohagakure. I have not come to tell you of that attack, I'm sure we all have heard that tale to many times to count, instead I'm here to tell you of the fate of the boy into which the Fox was sealed. This boy, Naruto Uzumaki, has had his story told many times in many ways.
This is the story of Naruto's discovery of a long hidden power, one that rocked a world distant from his own. The strength of these powers was so great that even in our world the ripples were felt. Many people felt the ripples these powers created but passed them off as nothing but fantasy and fiction, but this is the true story of that power. This is the story of Naruto and the Eldrazi.
It has been seven years since the attack and Naruto has lived a fairly normal life, he grew up in the Konoha's Last Sanctuary Orphanage. He is still currently living there, where he is treated harshly, but not to the extent some would have you believe. There were no beatings; there were no times he was locked in the basement; the worst treatment he received was glares and harsh words. The reason Naruto avoided harsher treatment was the Anbu Black Ops.
These soldiers were the Hokage's own special force of extreme skill, elite soldiers who believed all prejudice should be left behind when they put on their masks. They believed all laws should be followed by everyone no matter who they were trying to harm. And so Naruto avoided many injustices thanks to these masked law enforcers.
On this day Naruto knew that the villagers were the most belligerent. He knew why, or so he thought, he believed every one hated him because he was born after the fox was defeated and he was the fox reincarnated. Naruto understood their hatred. He didn't like it, but he understood it. He knew on this day he should make himself scarce to avoid riling up their tempers. So he headed into the forest to hang out until dinner time, when he would return to the orphanage.
In the forest Naruto explored, looking up at the great trees that surrounded him, reaching up into the sky, looking like the indomitable ancients they were. Naruto ran among their roots, he crawled under them and explored the caverns beneath them. Today Naruto went deeper into the forest than he had ever before. He found what appeared to be a dead tree that had become so gnarled and warped that it was but a shade of the once proud ancient it had been.
Naruto approached the dead tree with caution, feeling unexplainable dread. He walked bravely around the tree's twisted trunk until he saw a gap between the ground and the warped giant's roots. He approached the gap to see if he could fit into it and found that the gap was just large enough for him to squeeze through. Naruto grabbed the mini flash light the Hokage had given him on his last birthday and shined it into the hole, when he looked in he saw a small cavern with a stone structure inside.
Naruto started to wriggle his way into the cavern he fought and kicked against the ground until he managed to slide into the cavern. He ended up slipping right into the stone structure. Naruto stood up warily staring at the structure before him. It looked as if two pyramids had been stuck together at their bases. The structure was covered in exquisite ethereal carvings. Naruto looked on in awe, even on its side it was three times as tall as he was. Naruto approached the structure warily, illuminating it with his flashlight.
Near the center there was a plaque with an indentation in the shape of a hand. Naruto warily reached his hand toward it, feeling compelled to reach out to touch the monolith. When his flesh made contact with the stone there was a great rumbling from within.
"Hello Child." Naruto heard a voice whisper; the voice seemed to be coming from within the monolith. In his fright at the disembodied voice Naruto tried to yank his hand away from the plaque.
When his hand refused to come free he panicked and whispered, terrified, "Who are you, and why won't you let me go?"
"Child my name is Ulamog and the reason you cannot free yourself is simple. When you touched that plaque your natural Mana bound to it." The voice whispered into his ear.
"My natural Mana... Do you mean my chakra?" Naruto asked fearfully.
"Yes child, your natural Mana, the energy that gives you life. This chakra is just another name created for it by you pitiful humans. The plaque is binding your Mana to the hedron and using it to awaken me and my kin." The voice oozed.
"You and your kin, you mean you're not human?" Naruto exclaimed in slight fear.
"Of course not, did you not see the etchings on the hedron? Those are etchings of my kin." The voice hissed at Naruto.
Naruto took a closer look at the stone and noticed the carvings were not just simple designs but etchings of strange beasts towering over what appeared to be humans. The beasts seemed to be crushing the humans beneath their feet. But as Naruto followed the etching he noticed that they told a story which seemed to depict the beasts conquering a whole planet, then being defeated by a few men. One man in particular seemed to be featured in the greatest relief. It showed him standing against the three biggest creatures killing two and driving one to a place where he was sealed into, which seemed to be….a hedron?
"Is that man the one who sealed you here?" Naruto asked curiously, having lost his fear while observing the story of the beasts.
"Yes child, I am the being the hedron imprisons. My full title is Ulamog the Infinite Gyre. I was defeated and driven into the hedron by a Planeswalker called Gideon Jura." The Voice spoke with undisguised venom.
"A Planeswalker, what's that?"
"Planeswalker is a powerful mage able to manipulate Mana in ways others could never imagine."
"Okay, but a more important question is what are you and your kin?"
"We are the Eldrazi; we were born in the space between worlds. We're beings beyond the colors of Mana, ultimate life forms destined to rule. But we were driven back by that presumptuous Planeswalker and his allies. After we were sealed he cast us into the space between worlds again till we landed here and here we sat for a thousand years waiting for one to free us. You are the one who will free us and in return we will serve you till your death upon which we will destroy this world and all others."
"Why would you serve a human if you're supposed to be so superior?" Naruto asked with skepticism.
"We do not wish to serve you. It's the hedron forcing us to serve you until your death, if you release us. The Planeswalker only expected a Planeswalker to be able to free us therefore we would never be free since Planeswalkers are immortal." The voice added with a growl.
"Why should I free you? Who says you're not lying in order to trick me into freeing you from there?" Naruto asked Ulamog warily.
"Simple, human, Gideon Jura ensured that we served the person who freed us by binding our Mana to his life-force."
"Let's say I believed you, how would I free you, anyway?" Naruto asked.
"Just pulse your ma... I mean chakra." Ulamog instructed.
Naruto took a deep breath and focused on his chakra network, feeling the flow of the energy rushing about his body, bringing life and powering his every move. He focused the energy into the hand stuck to the hedron. When he had built up enough chakra he released it in a pulse that surged throughout the cave. The hedron flashed, blinding Naruto and driving him back. When Naruto opened his eyes the structure was gone and his palm felt burning hot.
In the center he saw a small crystal in the shape of the hedron imbedded in his palm. When he looked up he noticed a figure looming above his small frame. It was about his height and it looked like a human but without a face and multi-colored skin.
Naruto looked up in awe at the Eldrazi and asked. "Are you Ulamog?"
"No, child, I am not the great one. I am just a modified spawn sent by the great one to inform you of how our bond will work and of the different kinds of Eldrazi. Before I begin my explanation I ask that you hold any questions till the end. The bond we now share is focused on the crystal in your palm, that crystal will allow you to summon us. The more energy you put into the crystal the larger the Eldrazi.
The most important thing you need to remember is that spawn like me are used like batteries to summon larger and more powerful Eldrazi. The most powerful Eldrazi you can summon is obviously the great one, but you will need many spawn to summon him. Other than the great one and the spawn, there are many classes: Brood Warden, Predator, Artisan, Drone, Hatcher, Crusher, Pathrazer, and Spawnsire. Each class has its own purpose and we will go over those later but for now I will teach you to harness spawn like myself." The Spawn lectured. "The First thing you should do is push a small amount of energy into the crystal, much less than what you put into the hedron."
Naruto stared at the spawn with his mouth agape, trying to process what he had just heard. He quickly realized the spawn was waiting on his attempt to summon an Eldrazi spawn. Naruto focused on his chakra pathways once more; he guided a small amount of chakra from within his chakra system to the crystal on his palm. When he released the chakra into the crystal there was a flash a large Eldrazi appeared accompanied by two smaller Eldrazi spawn. The larger Eldrazi resembled a large four legged predator with a mass of tentacles where its mouth should be. The Eldrazi was at least twice his height.
"I told you a small amount child!" The first spawn snapped.
"That was a small amount!" Naruto snapped back. "What did I summon anyways?" he asked.
"You managed to summon a Predator, and he brought a few spawn with him. The Purpose of a predator is that of a tracker and a hunter."
"Why did he do that?"
"Certain Eldrazi will bring you Eldrazi spawn to make up for the energy you spent to give them a chance to hunt in this world. Now the way to harness the energy is to command the Eldrazi to rupture and pass their energy onto you. You should try it now."
Naruto listened carefully to the spawn's instructions. He took a deep breath and focused on the two Eldrazi spawn and said. "Rupture." In a great burst of light the two Eldrazi spawn exploded. The light swirled in the air for a few seconds before it slammed into him and he felt a definite boost to his chakra levels. He then realized to his horror he had ordered two beings two kill themselves. He was about to panic and then he realized something. That's what the spawn were for, that was their purpose in life.
After his near panic attack he turned to the first spawn and asked. "Is that everything for the night? If it is I want to head home to rest because that's a lot to take in, in one night.
"Yes that will be all for the night. You may go home after you dispel both me and the predator."
"How do I do that?" Naruto asked.
"Just order us to dispel." The Spawn replied curtly.
Naruto nodded and said "Dispel" and in a flash of light both predator and spawn were gone. Naruto walked over to where he slid into the cavern and started to ascend the slope back to the outside world. When he reached the top and pulled himself through the roots he noticed it was getting dark. Noticing it was 5:45, he decided to head home.
