Naruto of the Homunculus

Naruto finds something interesting in the forbidden scroll instead of the Shadow Clone jutsu and his life as a ninja is changed forever.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Fullmetal Alchemist.

Naruto had just failed his Graduation Exam again, but one of his teachers, Mizuki, had offered him a lifeline: steal the Forbidden Scroll from the Hokage Tower and learn a single technique from it. This is how Naruto ended up sitting in a secluded part of the forest going through the Forbidden Scroll.

"Damnit!" yelled Naruto, "Why are all the jutsu in here so hard to use?"

As he went through the scroll he came across a strange sealing pattern.

"What's this? A seal?" wondered Naruto, placing his hands on the design and channeling chakra into it.

Suddenly the seal glowed bright blue and energy began to arc from it, engulfing him.

The Third Hokage saw the flash of light from his office.

"Naruto, I hope you are ok…"

Naruto opened his eyes and found himself in a white expanse with a set of large stone doors in front of him.

"Where am I?" he said looking around.

"Well, I haven't seen someone like you in a while," said a voice, "so what brings you?"

Naruto turned and saw a figure that looked like a white silhouette with a grinning mouth.

"Who are you," asked Naruto, "and where am I?"

"Who am I?" the being said, "Who am I? I guess you could call me the world. Or you could call me God. I am all and I am one, I am the Truth."

"So, Truth," said Naruto, "why am I here?"

"Well, you activated the human transmutation circle," said Truth, "so you've been brought here for the equivalent exchange. So kid, what are you going to trade?"

"Honestly, I don't know," said Naruto, "I just wanted to learn a technique from this scroll so I could become a ninja and become Hokage so people would respect me."

Truth smiled, "I like you kid, so here's the deal: I will give you the powers you need to become the greatest ninja this world's ever seen…in exchange for your chakra and the fox in your gut."

"Fox," said Naruto, "what are you talking about?"

Truth frowned, "I see nobody's told you about the Kyuubi."

"What about it?" asked Naruto, "The Fourth Hokage killed it, right?"

"…Naruto, the Fourth Hokage didn't kill the Kyuubi. He sealed it in a newborn child, his son."

"What are you saying?" asked Naruto in horror.

"Naruto, the Kyuubi is sealed in you," said Truth.

"So that's why they hate me," said Naruto darkly, "that bastard made me into a demon!"

"ENOUGH!" yelled Truth, shutting up Naruto, "Your father sealed the Kyuubi within you because he could not place the burden on another person's child if he couldn't do so himself. Also, you are no demon. In fact you are a hero to the village for containing the beast that could destroy them all if released."

"You think I'm a hero?" asked Naruto as tears fell from his eyes, "Th-thank you Truth."

"No problem Naruto," said Truth with its usual grin, "so do you agree with the exchange?"

"So what kind of powers are you going to give me?" asked Naruto.

"First of all you would have the power to use Alchemy and the knowledge to properly transmute objects by clapping your hands. Second of all you will be given a philosopher's stone as a core, giving you the ability to heal from any wound as long as the stone is intact. In addition, I will give you the powers of seven powerful beings known as Homunculus. The first power will be the ability to control your shadow to form blades to cut through and bind objects. The second power will be the power to shape-shift your body into different forms or weapons. The third power will be the ability to form an ultimate shield around your body by manipulating the carbon in your skin. The fourth power will be the ability to extend your fingers like an ultimate spear. The fifth power will be extreme strength and durability along with the ability to move extremely fast in straight lines. The sixth power will be an ultimate eye that will allow you to find the flaws in your opponents fighting style along with great prowess with a blade. The final skill will be an enhanced sense of smell that can track people by sent alone. Are we in agreement?"

Naruto nodded, "Let's do this."

Truth smiled and the stone gates behind him opened revealing a large eye. Soon black arms shot at Naruto. The arms went into his body through the seal on his stomach and emerged holding a bound Kyuubi and a mass of blue chakra. A final arm thrust a red stone into Naruto's body before he was pulled into the gate.

Naruto opened his eyes and found himself back in the forest with Iruka standing over him.

"Iruka-sensei, you found me," said Naruto, "I was only able to study one thing in the scroll."

"Naruto," said Iruka sternly, "why did you steal the Forbidden Scroll? You could be executed for that."

Naruto looked at him in confusion, "But Mizuki-sensei told me that if I could steal the scroll and learn a technique before I was found, I would graduate."

Now Iruka was confused. Why would Mizuki say that unless…

"Naruto GET DOWN!" yelled Iruka as he heard a whirring and shielded him with his body.

A barrage of kunai embedded themselves into Iruka's back. Naruto looked up and saw Mizuki standing on the branch of a tree with two large shuriken on his back.

"Nice job finding him," said Mizuki, "now give me the scroll, Naruto."

"Naruto," yelled Iruka, "don't give him the scroll even if you die!"

"What's going on?" asked Naruto.

"The scroll contains forbidden ninjutsu!" yelled Iruka, "Mizuki's a traitor and he lied to you to get the scroll!"

"I'll tell you who's been lying," laughed Mizuki.

"Stop!" yelled Iruka, "It's forbidden!"

"Naruto, do you know of the Kyuubi attack?" asked Mizuki, ignoring Iruka.

"Yeah," said Naruto, "the Fourth Hokage saved the leaf village by defeating the Kyuubi and sealing it in a newborn child."

"So you know who the child is?" asked Mizuki, a little rattled that Naruto knew all this.

"Yeah, it's me," said Naruto, "where are you going with this?"

"Then you know that you're the demon!" yelled Mizuki, "You're the Kyuubi!"

"Is that all?" asked Naruto.

"Wh-what?" stammered Mizuki in surprise. He had thought that the brat was unaware of this, but this revelation had barely fazed him.

"The Kyuubi is old news," said Naruto, "and I'm not a demon."

"Shut up you freak!" yelled Mizuki, hurling a large shuriken at Naruto.

"Naruto get out of the way!" yelled Iruka

Naruto simply stood his ground and swatted the shuriken aside when it got close enough.

"What?" exclaimed Mizuki in shock.

Naruto rolled up his sleeve to reveal that his skin had turned dark grey and his fingers had become sharp claws.

"What are you?" asked Mizuki in horror.

Naruto clapped his hands.

"I'm the future Hokage of the leaf village!" he yelled before slamming his hands into the ground, causing stone fists to rise up and start slamming Mizuki.

When the beating was over, Mizuki lay there black and blue and beaten to a pulp. Iruka was shocked by what just happened. Naruto, an academy failure, had just beaten Mizuki, a Chunin, and not just that, but he used abilities that had never been seen before.

"Are you alright Iruka-sensei?" asked Naruto.

"Yeah," said Iruka. "Hey Naruto, close your eyes. I have a surprise for you."

Naruto did so and felt his goggles be removed and be replaced with something else.

"You can open your eyes," said Iruka.

Naruto did so and saw Iruka holding his goggles. He looked and saw that Iruka's forehead was bare. Naruto then felt his own forehead and felt a metal shinobi headband in place of his goggles.

"Congratulations Naruto," said Iruka with a smile, "you graduate."

Naruto gained a large smile that kept growing, "AWESOME!"

"We have to meet with the Hokage about this," said Iruka, "but afterwards we're going to Ichiraku's for all you can eat ramen, my treat."

"YAHOO!" yelled Naruto.

When Iruka and Naruto arrived at the Hokage's office, they were ushered inside by two Anbu guards and the Hokage activated silencing seals around the office.

"Naruto, can you explain to me what happened with Mizuki?" said the 3rd Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, "I'll need the whole story."

Naruto nodded and told him about what happened with the scroll and Truth.

"So in exchange for the Kyuubi and your chakra, you gained new abilities and defeated a chunin while still an academy student?" asked Hiruzen.

"Yup," said Naruto.

"I'm going to have to bring this up with the counsel," said Hiruzen, "they will probably want Naruto to surrender all knowledge of his abilities."

"Lord Hokage," said Iruka, "what if you make it a clan secret?"

"That would be perfect," said Hiruzen, "but Naruto isn't part of any clan."

"Um, Old man," said Naruto, "I know who my father is."

"What?" exclaimed Hiruzen, "How did you find out?"

"Truth told me when he gave me my powers," said Naruto.

"That changes things," said Hiruzen. "I believe we could give you your father's compound to live in and resurrect the Namikaze clan."

"Thanks Old man," said Naruto.

"Meet me in my office tomorrow morning," said Hiruzen.

"Thank you lord Hokage," said Iruka.

That's a wrap. Please read and review, but no flames.
