Mega Man Neo!

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Six year old Naruto Namikaze was walking around in the forest training himself. He was punching a tree multiple times and his fists were covered with his blood. But he didn't care! He was too angry at the moment to even care.

The reason why he's angry?

It's simple.

It's because he's been ignored for too long by his family and everyone in the Leaf Village, all for his siblings, Naomi, Natsumi, and Menma. Yes, he was born a quadruple. Naomi is the big sister since she was born first, Naruto is the second, Menma is third, and Natsumi is the last, making her the younger of the quads.

The reason why he's been ignored for so long is because his siblings were the Heroes of the Hidden Leaf Village. Six years ago, a masked man came and extracted the Nine-Tailed Fox out of his mother and used it to nearly destroy the Village along with it's people. But thankfully, his father, the Fourth Hokage of the Leaf, tried his hardest to stop it. He was planning to sacrifice his life to seal the beast into one of his children. However, the Third Hokage beat him to it and split the Beast apart and seal in three of the children.

The Yin-Half for Naomi.

The Yang-Half for Menma.

And the soul itself for Natsumi.

After the battle, everyone was heart broken by the Third's death and sacrifice for the Village, but they soon broke out into cheers as the three of four children were declared heroes for saving the Village and their lives.

Years passed since that battle and things were pretty good for Naruto. His family were once happy and they loved each other very much, but...after the quads turned four, things have changed. For some reason, Minato and Kushina decided to train Naomi, Natsumi, and Menma. When Naruto asked why he wasn't included, his father told him it was because they needed to learn how to control the fox's powers.

Naruto understood it at first, since he figured after they were done, then they would include him.

But that never happened.

The months after their training was announced many people in the village started to cheer them on, knowing full well that the children will learn how to control the Fox's power, seeing how their the children of the Fourth Hokage and Red Death.

Slowly everyone soon started to ignore Naruto. Even during their 5th birthday party, everyone brought lots of presents for his siblings but not one present for him, making him heart broken and confused.

The children were then enrolled into the Ninja Academy in hopes of one day becoming Ninjas. On their first day, the Heroes of the Leaf, scored an excellent score during their very first ninja course and of course gained popularity among the children.

Naruto however, didn't get an excellent score like his siblings. He got an average but he was close to becoming Dead-Last, making everyone, especially his siblings, to laugh at him. He never could make any friends at the Academy, because his siblings were popular and he wasn't, so of course they would ignore him or make fun of him whenever he got something wrong or did something stupid.

So, he took it upon himself to train in the Shinobi Arts. So when he asked his parents again, they told him no and went out to ignore him again, causing the pain to increase in his heart. Even then his siblings would always either mock or laugh at him.

A year later after their birthday, Jiraya and Tsunade begun to train his siblings as well, bringing even more shock to him.

It was then that Naruto finally decided that he had enough of them. He packed up his stuff and moved out the home and into a nice looking apartment. If they were going to ignore him, then fine he would too! He don't need those guys! He'll show them! He'll show them that he'll get strong!

It was then Naruto made one last punch to the tree, causing a fist-sized crater to be formed. He blinked for a few minutes. Then started to run around in circles, screaming comically while nursing his fists.

"Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!"

He tripped on something and fell into the grass. He sat on his knees and was holding his face. "What the heck was that?!" He looked back at the thing he tripped on, only to blink in surprise.

Instead of rock, which he thought it was, it was something blue and it looked like it was buried in the dirt.

"Now what's this?" Naruto asked himself. He then used his hands and started to dig out...whatever it was, out of the ground and into the service.

As he continued to dig, he could see that he was close to finding out what the strange object is. He finished digging and saw the thing that tripped him, making his eyes widened in surprise and awe. In his hands was a blue helmet.

And the cool thing is, is that even though this thing was buried in the dirt, it still looked brand new! He can literally still see his reflection on it. He looked around the helmet admiring it's coolness. It looked something from the future!

Then a thought came to him. What was a helmet doing out here? Why was it even buried here? He shrugged his shoulders.

"Like they always say, finders keepers!" He said happily as he finally got something new and cool!

He lift the helmet over his head and started to put it on, completely unaware that something amazing was going to happen once he put that helmet on. Something that would completely change his life.

As Naruto put the helmet on, he was surprised that the helmet fit him perfectly. The reason why he should be surprised is because out of all the Quads, he is the shortest one, even in the Academy! The helmet looked like it wouldn't even fit him

"Wow." Naruto blinked, touching the helmet. "This helmet is really-!"

Naruto gasped as he stood motionless as though he was in a trance. It felt as though he was struck by lightning. His eyes began to glow a lighter shade of blue, along with the helmet. A mini-earthquake erupted from around the area Naruto was at. The ground itself felt as though it was beginning to move and mechanical sounds began to erupt from it.

And low and behold, a secret entrance was opened up in front of him.

Naruto remained where he was but then his entire body began to glow, save for his head. His body began to grow taller while his face started to get leaner. The glowing on his body began to shrink to shape into what looks like clothes. The glowing on Naruto's body and helmet disappeared and it showed Naruto's new appearance.

He wore a skintight bodysuit with large rounded coverings on his lower arms and legs. He wore black gloves. The center of the bodysuit is black, while the sides were dark blue, along with rounded coverings. Over his chest is a round gray section with a blue circle in the center. On the top and lower sides of the gray were neon glowing lights, that was blocking the center bodysuit from the sides in the shape of an X, with lights surrounding his shoulders in a circle. On hips of his bodysuit were round blue section with red circles in the center. On the lower arms and legs were the same round blue sections with red circles in the center.

His helmet changed. It was now dark blue and it had sharp ridges and the inclusion of a yellow crystal. It also has blue round sections with red circles in the center over his ears.

Naruto's eyes were still glowing but it stopped in a couple of seconds. He blinked a couple of times and shook his head, putting a hand on it.

"What was that about?" He asked. He stopped what he was doing as his eyes darted to his body. He looked over himself with wide comical eyes. "WHOA! WHAT HAPPENED TO ME!?" He looked over himself some more. Where did this come from!? How did they even get on him!? And how did he get taller!?

"Oh man! This is crazy! How did I..." Naruto trailed off as he saw a secret entrance in front of him, leading somewhere underground, causing his eyes to turn into dots. "How long has that been here?"

He looked around then back to the entrance. He shrugged his shoulders and decided to enter. As soon as he did, he found himself looking at an ordinary silver door. He raised an eyebrow at that. What the hell was a door doing underground? He walks up front of it.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

"..."

KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Hello? Is anyone here?" Naruto asked. He was about to knock on it again, but the door slid open by itself, catching him by surprise. "What...?" He enters the room as the door closed shut behind, making Naruto turn around.

He turns back around and found himself gasping in shock and awe. He was inside a Secret LABORATORY!? Holy crap that's cool!

"But wait a second...what's a Laboratory doing under here?" Naruto asked as he began to explore the Lab.

It looked ancient yet advanced at the same time. Was this the Leaf Village's Lab? No, that's impossible, all of this stuff looked like something from the far future, so there's no way no one in the Village knows about this, not even the Hokage himself. As he continued to walk further, he didn't notice a shadowy figure appear behind him

"Ah, hello there!"

"WHOA!" Naruto screamed as he turned around, to see the person who spoke.

It was a really old man, that made think it was Santa Claus. He has white hair along with a big beard. He wore a white Lab Coat and red pants. And if it was one thing he noticed, this guy was almost as big as Choji's father.

"Sorry sorry," The Old Man laughed. "I didn't mean to scare ya Lad."

"Um, it's okay." Naruto waved it off. He watched as the Old Man stopped laughing and was now looking at him. His eyes widened as he saw what Naruto was wearing before tears gathered in his eyes, bringing Naruto to gasp.

"It's you...it's really you..." The Old Man whispered.

"Hey, are you okay?" Naruto asked in concern.

The Old Man blinked the tears away and shook his head. "Yes, I am fine. Sorry about that."

Naruto looked at him, uncertain but nodded his head. "Anyway...who are you?"

"Ah!" The Old Man gasped. "Oh yes yes. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Doctor Thomas Light, but you may call me Thomas or Dr. Light."

"Dr. Light, huh?" Naruto asked, giving his hand out for a handshake. "It's nice to meet you Doctor. My name is-"

"Naruto." Dr. Light said, shaking Naruto's hand.

"Huh? How do you know my name?" Naruto asked in a surprised tone. Most people don't even know him let alone his name.

"That's my little secret." Dr. Light said, causing Naruto to face-fault to the ground.

"Right..." Naruto said, standing up and looking around. "So is this your lab?"

"Yes it is." Dr. Light said.

"So then what are you doing down here?" Naruto askee.

"Waiting for you of course." Dr. Light answered.

"Me? Why?"

"Come along and I'll tell you. But believe me son, it is a really long story." Dr. Light warned jokingly but Naruto just shrugged his shoulders.

"Meh, ain't got nothing better to do. So please tell." Naruto said as the two walked to a nearby table and sat down.

"Well, allow me to start from the beginning." Dr. Light started.

Later

"Whoa..." Naruto said, eyes widened comically. "You weren't kidding Dr. Light. That is a long story."

As Dr. Light stated, he started his story from all to the beginning and Naruto had learned many things. In the 20th century, Dr. Light attended the Robert Institute of Technology where he met a fellow student named Albert W. Wily and became classmates with him. The two graduated together with their doctorate degrees (PhDs), although Dr. Light always received more credit than Wily. The two were nominated for the Nobel Prize for physics, but only Dr. Light won.

Dr. Wily, with his pride hurt and tired of being in second place, vanished, and Dr. Light never saw him again. At some point, Dr. Light founded his laboratory to further the development of computing and robotics technology for the benefit of mankind in the Coming Era. Light became a world-renowned scientist and the leading expert on robotics.

Naruto had learned that Dr. Light built a series of household and civil service robots, which made Naruto do a spit-take. Not long after that, he created a humanoid robot with a much more advanced A.I., DLN-000 Proto Man, the first Robot Master. However, Proto Man's dangerous imbalance in his energy core and having a strong sense of independence, went A.W.O.L. before his repairs were complete in fear that his personality would change in the process. Yet, in the year 200X (sometime in the first decade of the 21st century), Light would build on the successes and failures of the Proto Man project to build other Robot Masters, like Rock (his lab assistant), Roll (a householder), and a series of industrial robots, much to Naruto's amazement.

When Dr. Wily grew jealous of Light's works receiving credit and his works not, he stole and reprogrammed Light's industrial robots, attempting to take over the world, which made Naruto angry that someone like him would do such an awful thing. He learned that Rock, having a strong sense of justice, volunteered to be converted into the super robot known as Mega Man.

Dr. Light had helped Mega Man on many of his adventures to stop Wily from taking over the world and to save everyone of his Robot Master's that Wily reprogrammed, that part made Naruto cheer much to Light's amusement, before the young blond told him to continue.

Light continued to tell Naruto that at some point he ran into Mega Man X, making Naruto confused before Light explained that Mega Man X was from the further future and told Naruto what X told him. In the year 20XX (later in the 21st century), Dr. Light began work on Mega Man X (the "X" standing for a factor of unknown potential). X would possess the ability to make his own decisions in life, unlike Rock who was bound by Asimov's "laws of robotics". However, Light knew that he would not live long enough to fully test X's potential, so he had X sealed in a capsule on September 18, 20XX, not to be awakened for thirty years. He is presumed to have passed away some time after.

But it doesn't end there. Light explained some more things to him. Like how Rock and X weren't the only Mega Men. There were each and every Mega Men throughout history, each coming from different eras in the future of Rock, the Original Mega Man. There were also Mega Men in a whole new dimension!

From what Naruto learned, in this dimension, there was the Original Mega Man, Mega Man X, Mega Man ZX, and Mega Man Volnutt.

In the other dimension, where instead of Robot Masters and such, everything is intertwined with the Internet by something called a NETNavis, sentient programs that inhabit the Internet. In this dimension, there is a Mega , who is one of the NETNavis. In 200 years of that dimension's timeline, there is a Star Force Mega Man,

Naruto was beyond speechless after Dr. Light finished the story. Robot Masters, Dr. Wily, Other Dimensions, the Mega Men! This was all too much, but thankfully he managed to process all of them. But then a thought came to his head as he remembered something.

"Okay, Doctor, I just have one last question for you."

"Oh? And what's that?"

"Can you tell me exactly what's up with this?" Naruto pointed at himself, showing Light that he was referring to the outfit, which made the Old Man chuckle.

"That's easy my boy." Dr. Light said as he pointed at Naruto. "You, Naruto, are the new Mega Man of your current era."

Naruto gasped in shock. He...he's a Mega Man? Him!?

"You see Naruto, in the past before you were born, there was an incident that caused the both dimensions to cross over. Dr. Wily and many other villians were the cause of that incident as they tried to take over both dimensions. Each and every Mega Men from both dimensions in different era came together to stop them. They succeeded but at a terrible cost. They sacrificed themselves and are gone." Light said sadly, looking down at the floor, remembering Rock and every other Mega Men he met.

Naruto gasped at the sudden information

"I knew all along that a new Mega Man would rise up and I've been waiting for him." Dr. Light looked at Naruto and smiled happily at him. "And he's standing right in front of me right now."

"Me." Naruto said in a whisper as Dr. Light nodded.

"The moment when you put on the helmet, it meant that it chose you because you have the same thing all Mgea Men possessed."

"What's that?"

"Courage, determination, and most of all..." Dr. Light saw the spirits of all Mega Men appear behind Naruto as they smiled at him. "The guts to never give no matter what! And that makes you, Naruto Namikaze, the legacy of all Mega Men!"

Naruto gasped at that. He looked down at the floor, the helmet's shadow covering his eyes. For years, he knew that he was born to do something great.

For years, he had to deal with his siblings mocking him and treating him like an idiot. For years, he had to deal with his parents ignorance of him, saying that he wasn't worth their time and that he'll just slow his siblings down.

But now...not anymore! He felt a smile appear on his face as he looked at his hands. Him, the legacy of the greatest heroes he just now hearing about!? Awesome!

"Ahem." Dr. Light coughed, getting Naruto's attention. "I know you probably have lots of questions of what to do and what not, so I'll be more than happy to answer them."

"Really!?" Naruto asked excitedly.

"Yes." Dr. Light reached behind his back and pulled out a book, holding it in the air as though it was a national treasure, and causing Naruto face-fault.

"Um...what is it?" Naruto asked.

"It's my journal." Dr. Light answered. "Inside this Journal holds knowledge of the Mega Men's skills and abilities, all passed down into you." He handed the book to Naruto as he was looking at it in a whole new light. "Study it carefully."

Naruto continued to look at the book with a bright smile on his face. He nodded his head. "Thanks a lot Dr. Light-huh!?" He looked up to thank Dr. Light, but much to Naruto's shock, he just vanished. "Dr. Light? Dr. Light!" He called out only to receive no response.

He looked at the book and found himself looking at a mirror, taking in on his appearance. A determined grin appeared on his face as he fist pumped. "Alright!" He ran out of the Lab. "Look out everyone! A new Mega Man is in town!"

As soon as he ran out, Dr. Light appeared again as he watched on with a proud smile on his face. "Good luck, Naruto...make us all proud." He turns to walk away but vanished.

Soon, everyone will know...that a legend has been reborn.
