Astol:Hello Everyone...I had a depression...yes...again. But It's the last! I'm going to start anew! I will start this story and rewrite some of my other stories!
This story will take elements from all the FF but in a first time there will be a lot of FF Unlimited and Chocobo Tales, I will also have some freedom and add things of my own to this Stories chocobos and maybe other elements from Final Fantasy which I don't own so I consider the disclaimer done.
Prologue:
Chocobaba, that's what the rumor says
It was a beautiful day in Konoha as usual, most villagers were minding their business more or less happily. Why not all you may ask ? Well again as usual whenever a certain kid would walk by all the villagers would stop what they were doing to glare hatefully at him.
This Kid's name was Naruto Uzumaki, he was a young boy with spiky blond hair ocean blue eyes and the most noticeable feature was six whiskers like marks on his face, he also wears only orange. He was an orphan who's parents died during the Kyuubi no Kitsune's attack.
He did not know why the villagers glared like this at him, but he never let it get to him and always kept smiling no matter what the life threw at him...or at least that what he showed, but sentient beings are like the ocean, if you stay at the surface you'll never truly know what lies beneath the appearances.
The young boy went into the great forest that surround the village to get some time to himself. His favorite place was a small clearing with a small pond, it was beautiful and away from the village. A perfect place for the blond to relax in.
But When he entered the clearing the blond noticed what looked like two big Ostrich hybridized with another kind of bird. Both had yellow feather and dark orange beak, the eyes of the smaller one were blue while that of the bigger one were hidden by blinders, he also had a saddle like a horse suggesting that he was a tamed bird meant to be used as a mount.
Naruto approached the birds out of curiosity. He was noticed by the smaller one who looked at him with curiosity, the bird crossed the distance between them and stared in the blond's eyes.
Naruto did not really knew what to do « Huh hello? » he said with uncertainty then the bird nuzzled his face with his beak and also hugging with his wings.
Naruto smiled and stroked the bird's beak laughing at the sudden show of affection. Then suddenly this touching moment was interrupted by the entry of someone in the clearing. It was an old woman who wore an old fashion green dress, her blond hair reminded Naruto of a bird's feathers because of the strange hair cut she had, she also had sun glasses.
« Well,well…..He seems to like you little guy » she said with a smile.
Naruto was puzzled, it was the first time someone he did not knew did not hate him or ignore him « Well yeah looks like it….and you are ? » he asked.
« My name is Chocobaba and I love all the chocobos ! Or at least that's what the rumor says» Chocobaba said confusing Naruto.
« Chocobo ? The rumor ?» he asked tilting his head at the strange woman.
Chocobaba sighed and face palmed « These birds are chocobos,or that's what the rumor says » she said as the smaller chocobo had went to look in the bags attached to the saddle of his elder and took two things : a feathers with a strange little green ball shaped jewel on its quill and a huge scroll that could not possibly fit in the bag seeing its ridiculous size.
Chocobaba looked at the chocobo with a surprised look « Are you sure ? » she asked , the chocobo just nodded unrolling the scroll in front of Naruto and putting the feather in the blond's hair.
« There ! Now all you got to do is to sign the contract ! » the chocobo said.
« What the hell ! I understood what he said ?! » Naruto exclaimed in shock.
« That's an effect of the feather, as for the scroll it is the chocobos summoning contract, or at least that's what the rumor says. Just sign it with your blood, like the previous summoners did » Chocobaba explained.
« Do you know something else than rumors ? » Naruto asked as the catch phrase of Chocobaba started to get on his nerves.
The blond was still freaked out but knew how cool the ninjas that summoned looked, and he would certainly not pass this chance to bit Sasuke at something, since the Uchiha who had all the girls fawning at him did not had a contract yet it was his only chance right now.
Naruto signed the contract « There ! I signed it ! Yay I'm finally one step closer to be Hokage dattebayo ! » he shouted bumping his fist in the air while the other chocobo did the same « Hey guy, do you have a name ?Mine is Naruto » he said to the chocobo.
« My name is Ciel , nice to meet you partner ! » Ciel answered with a smile on his beak.
Chocobaba climbed on her chocobo « Well now I got to go...or at least-» Chocobaba was interrupted by Naruto and Ciel «-That's what the rumor says we already know about that ! » they shouted at her as she shrugged and took off on her chocobo who took the scroll in his beak before disappearing in the burst of speed.
« Well let's go to the village…. I gotta go to the Academy anyway» Naruto said as he began to walk but was caught by Ciel who put him on his back « Better make a good entrance then ! » Ciel said with a smirk and Naruto smirked back « Yeah let's do it ! The guys are all going to be jealous ! »
Ciel took off fast, and Naruto clung to the bird's neck for dear life as he told the chocobo which way the Academy was. All the peoples in the village kept staring blankly after having seen a kid ride a giant bird.
Once they arrived at the Academy everyone stared at them curious about the curious bird Naruto brought with him.
« The hell is that ! » Sakura shouted seeing the chocobo « Naruto-baka why did you bring this giant chicken here ! »
« Hey Ciel is not a chicken ! It's a chocobo one of my summons Sakura-chan» Naruto replied sort of disappointed by his crush's reaction.
« A summon ? Don't make me laugh, you are just trying to look cooler than Sasuke again. To get a summon you would have to sign a contract ; and only the best academy student or a member of a clan could receive that kind of offer before being out of the academy » the pink haired girl said with a scoff getting nods of approval.
« I am a summon miss know it all » Ciel replied glaring at Sakura.
Sakura stood back after hearing Ciel speak « Huh she understood what you said ? » Naruto asked with confusion obvious on his face as he thought he was the only one able to understand the chocobos « Yup the feather you have is not the classic version it traduce what Chocobos said for all those who are close enough, Chocobaba just did not know it but I did. Hence why I picked that one instead of the others » Ciel replied in a low whisper.
« Well you got your proof Sakura, now please stop shrieking Akamaru and I are getting tired of hearing you shout your head off all day long » Kiba said then turned to Naruto « And you should send your summon back before Iruka sensei arrive » Naruto nodded and looked at Ciel who gestured for him to dismount which he did, then Ciel disappeared in a plume of smoke.
Naruot went to sit next to Kiba who gestured to him « Hey Naruto, I'm curious about this summon of yours. What was it ? I never heard of bird summons in the village » Kiba said with Akamaru nodding in agreement.
« Well it is a short but weird story….Ciel is a chocobo and well the contract was given to me by a crazy lady in the forest. But you won't see her since she left on her chocobo...she was really really weird. She kept repeating « that's what the rumor says » all the time ! She was truly crazy I tell you, and she left on her chocobo after I signed the contract » Naruto explained.
« What ? So that must be a really shitty contract you got for getting it from such a weird woman » Ino said mockingly having heard Naruto.
« I would not say that seeing how fast that bird was. Not many summons are and this fast, not too mention that it was certainly not the only member of his kind since the « crazy lady » went away with one, so you don't know what the others can do » Shikamaru stated lazily since he could not sleep with all this noise.
« Yes it would be interesting to see you summon another one since today's lesson is on summons » Iruka said as he appeared in a plume of smoke suggesting he had been there the whole time.
« Oh yeah that would make the lecture less boring » Kiba said with a smirk.
Naruto nodded and went to the front of the classroom « Now Naruto show us how you summon a...chocobo I think it was ? » Iruka said getting a nod from Naruto who smirked and bit his thumb and slammed his hand on the ground, there was a plume of smoke.
The room was silent waiting for what would happen next « So you are the new summoner Ciel told me about ? » a rather rough and loud voice said, it carried authority and imposed respect, the whole classroom was silent.
When the smoke cleared it revealed a towering chocobo who was at least seven feet tall he was also rather large and strong. His feathers were black with red tip for the tail feather, as well as the primaries and secondaries of his wings. he also had tuft of red feather on his chest and forehead. His eyes were red and his beak had a cross shaped scar on its let side of his beak. His feet looked more talon like than Ciel's and incredibly sharp and dangerous.
« I hate when I am right….troublesome blond summoning troublesome birds » Shikamaru muttered under his breath.
Some academy students mostly the civilians, were scared of the bird, Naruto was also not fairing good because the bird stared at him from his full height, he already felt somewhat more small than he already was in front of this giant of a bird.
« Y-yeah….I-I am » the blond knucklehead stuttered nervously not daring to look right in the chocobo's eyes.
« Really ? Is that so shrimp ? » the dark chocobo said with an amused smirk etched on his crow like beak.
« Hey ! I'm not a shrimp dattebayo ! I'm the future Hokage believe it !Who do you think you are calling shrimp you overgrown crow ! » Naruto shouted.
The bird laughed at the lame catch phrase but also because he already liked Naruto « You got guts kid ! I got to give you that ! But never insult me again or you shall regret it… » the last bit was said in a cold tone that screamed danger to Naruto's ear « ….Anyway my name is Volg the boss of the Chocobo Contract, and I accept you as the new summoner of my kind. You better bring honor to us kid »
Naruto smiled « I won't disappoint ! Believe it ! » the blond exclaimed.
Volg shuddered at the lame catch phrase « We'll have to do a lot of work for you to become a suitable summoner » he muttered before disappearing in a plume of smoke.
The other students still stared at the spot where the bird was ; The next hour went really smoothly as the students were very interested in learning about summons after seeing one.
When the bell finally rang to signal the end of the classes Naruto left for his apartment. When he opened the door he was shocked because he was greeted with the sight of three grey chocobos who wore striped black and white shirts and black hoods, they all had the same malicious smirk.
« Huh you are chocobos, right ? » Naruto asked confusion obvious on his face.
« Yup we are the jailbirds ! We were curious about our new summoner » one of them said
« And we heard you were an infamous prankster » the second said
« So we thought we could have fun together » the third added with a huge smirk quickly mirrored by his two friends and a few seconds after Naruto joined them and they snickered which quickly became an evil laughter…..After this fateful meeting, no one knows how….but the next morning the Hyuuga clan found all of its member's under-wears decorating the compound and the hokages stone faces had been toilet papered.
