AN: Hello my people! Thewackness135 here with a sample of a new story idea here. I have stated that I would do either a Naruto/Akame Ga Kill or a Naruto/Fire Emblem: Awakening crossover, and left it up to you fanfictioneers to decide which would become reality.
But lately it has become too close to call so I decided I would write 3 chapters for both stories and whichever gained the most attention within a certain time period would be the one I continued alongside A Will of Fire, A Heart of A Hero. The time period would end three days after the final chapter for each story is uploaded.
I will be using Naruto just after Asuma died, because even then he would be in the upper tier of the empires military in terms of power. I always thought that Esdeath was Jonin level in terms of power, so Naruto will still be more powerful than most here.
Although I would still probably, maybe on a special occasion write a chapter for the other story, but it wouldn't be updated as frequently as the winner and A Will of Fire.
So here it is! The first sample chapter of my Naruto and Akame Ga Kill crossover story!
Final thing before we get on with it, which title do you prefer?
Story: A Simple Cartographer
(Or From Assassin to Map Maker, and Back Again)
Summary: The death of Asuma Sarutobi makes Tsunade realize just how dangerous the Akatsuki really are. In haste of getting Naruto out of harm's way, she sends the Blond knucklehead on a relatively simple mission, go to a recently discovered continent, and map out the area whilst on reconnaissance. It would take him long enough to complete for the threat of the Akatsuki to be taken care of, simple, right? Not like she had sent him anywhere dangerous. Or so he thought, until he met a girl with red eyes, "I consign you". "Why do you need my signature?"
Fonts:
regular text- speech, etc.
Bold: Important, jutsu, loud yelling, and Beings of power
Italics: Thoughts.
Underlined: Serious.
Bold Underlined: Kurama.

STORY START!
CH.1: End of a boat ride.
3 Months.
3 Whole months of being on water.
3 Whole months after Asuma-sensei had died, and Baa-chan had sent him on this mission. Alone.
Naruto Uzumaki had been in a state of depression for a couple weeks after the death of Asuma Sarutobi at the hand of the Akatsuki member Hidan. He had gotten out of the mood and had returned to his usual self later on, but he would forever miss the man who had taught him what he knew of Wind Manipulation.
He remembered when the Hokage of Konohagakure no Sato, Tsunade Senju, had issued him a mission to do some reconnaissance on the newly discovered continent they had yet to name, the only thing they knew about it was that the locals called it, 'The Empire'.
Naruto looked at his palm, breathing in deeply before closing his eyes, focusing on the raging energy that every shinobi wielded, the energy known as CHAKRA. As he called upon his massive reserves of this potent and volatile energy, he focused it onto a kunai he had in his hand, continuing the exercise he had been taught by the late Asuma. Soon, the knife was covered in a soft blue glow, a wavy look to it. Naruto tightened his grip on his knife, before picturing his chakra as two opposing blades, clashing and grinding against each other, ever sharpening the other.
The soft, wavy blue outline on the kunai suddenly turned into a more refined, sharp looking shape, the edges of the energy looking like multiple razor edges.
"Looks like all that training finally paid off! Naruto thought as a large grin spread across his features. He had spent the majority of his time on the boat training his wind affinity; focusing on trying to lower the time it took for him to form Hien (Flying Swallow) on the blade of his kunai. He did, however, still train on trying to add his wind nature to his Rasengan but he had no luck in that department, he couldn't do any of the serious stuff with the training because he would either rock the boat too much and get people injured, or destroy the ship completely.
He could now form Hien in little more than 2 seconds.
Naruto continued smiling, even as he made his way to the deck of the ship from the living quarters he had been granted, muttering a few "hello" and "Good mornings" to members of the crew that passed by.
The Blond covered his eyes to allow them to adjust to the harsh sunlight that was invading his sight compared to the dark crew barracks below. "Shit, it's damn bright!"
He began to walk towards the ship's captain, one Captain Yamamoto, "Yo, how much longer do you think it'll be before we hit land?"
The captain of the ship was a rather slender man, with dark eyes and brown hair that was tied into a loose pony-tail. He actually appeared to be rather gaunt, but that was betrayed by the massive grin that the man always seemed to have in place, even in storms. Especially in storms, he could be seen shouting orders with excitement in his voice, his crew always shouting in agreement whenever he issued his orders,
"Not much longer my boy! Should be seeing sweet land in a ji-"
"LAAAAAAAND HOOOOOOO!"
Naruto rushed to the railing of the front of the ship, his lips turning upward, before splitting apart in a huge mega-watt smile.
"LAAAAAAAAAAAAND!"
The crew replied to his shout of joy with shouts of their own, men were seen hitting each other on the backs, laughing, and even breaking out drinks that he had heard the crew called 'Rum'.
Naruto had skipped the entire process of docking the ship, not even looking back as he strapped on his traveling pack and hopped over the rail, "Thanks old man Yamamoto!" and began sprinting across the water as he once again channeled his chakra, although this time to his feet.
Cpt. Yamamoto leaned over the rail, and began waving at the Blond that had departed, "Take care YA BRAT!" He turned to his crew, "All right boys! Package delivered, let's take her home!"
Naruto looked back at the ship he had been sailing on, the Seawhiskey, and witnessed it turn, before sailing back in the direction of the Elemental Nations.
He turned once more and continued his sprint to the mainland, eager to make his debut in this new world.
"Hold on Empire, here comes Uzumaki Naruto!"
LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
The people of the Empire had seen many strange things.
They had witnessed massive beasts emerge from the ground, the sea, and even the air. They knew that the first emperor had strange weapons called the Teigu (Imperial Arms) that had a variety of different abilities.
They were surprised, however, when a Blond boy with Whiskers on his face ran on top of the water, jumped 10 feet into the air to land on the dock, and continued on his merry way, walking casually as if he hadn't just performed an amazing feat of physical prowess. "What the fu-"
Naruto was excited, today was his first official day on the job, look out world! Here comes Naruto the Cartographer! Naruto th-
He was on his back on the ground, falling on his back after he had bumped into someone during his (delusional) fantasy. He then realized he was being offered a hand.
It was a rather burly man, with black hair that was styled in a weird pompadour shaped in the form of a heart, wearing a black coat with spikes on the shoulders.
"Ah, sorry about that, here, let me help you up." The man said.
Naruto was going to take the hand, and his face paled and his eyes became blank as he saw the man had a blush on his face, as well as Sakura petals started falling with a pink background formed behind the man. He quickly retreated his hand, before saying, "I got it." And rose from the ground.
"Sorry about bumping into you like that, I just got so excited because I'm kinda new here, Ya' know?" Naruto elaborated with an apologetic look, chuckling nervously because of what happened moments before.
"No problem, completely understandable" The man replied.
Naruto extended a hand to the man, "The names Naruto Uzumaki."
"You can call me Handsome or Aniki" The stranger said.
"Uhhh, okay, Aniki it is." Naruto nearly facepalmed as he saw the man visibly sulk at his declaration, seemingly disappointed in his choice. The young Uzumaki's face lit up in realization when he brought out a piece of paper, and asked, "Hey, do you mind answering some questions real quick?"
"Sure, what are they?"
"Well", Naruto began, "What's the name of this town?"
"Kurage town."
"Jellyfish? They named their town Jellyfish?"
Seeing the Blond's confusion, the man that wanted to be called Aniki explained, "It's because when the town was founded, its main export was the massive amounts of Jellyfish that were caught around here."
Naruto nodded appreciatively, "Thanks."
He jotted the name of the town down on his paper, making notes as to why it was named what it was. Naruto asked him a couple of more questions regarding the surrounding area, before humming to himself in a positive manner when he thought he had enough information.
"Thanks Aniki, I gotta get going so I guess I'll see ya later!" Naruto finished as he began to walk away, waving back to the burly man
"See you later Naruto!"
LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
"Awwwwww, Damnit, where can I get some fooooooood?" Naruto lamented as his stomach growled for the fifth time in a row, "More importantly, why the hell didn't anyone tell me they use different currency! Damn you Baa-chan!" He had entered a bakery, only to be told to leave once they saw his ryo coins; instead they told him to make some, 'Yen' if he wanted food. No-one would give him any handouts, nor would he beg for money, so he was stuck in quite the predicament.
He wandered out of Kurage Town, almost like a zombie, as he stumbled down the road. A small spirit in the shape of his head coming out of his mouth.
He didn't get far out of town, before he was snapped out of his stupor by the sound of what sounded like a mix between a rooster and a screech. Seconds later, a creature resembling a massive Chicken burst from the brush, taller than the 5'10 Ft. Blond by a solid 3 feet.
A fellow traveler that had been on the road had begun to freak out, "It's an Evil Bird! Everyone, Danger Beast!" screaming at every person as he ran back to the town.
"Why the hell is everyone running away, this 'Danger Beast' looks dopey as all hell!" The Whiskered Boy thought in curiosity.
Seeing that everyone was currently in hysterics and not doing anything to lend a hand, Naruto took a kunai out of his pocket and rushed it, jumping high into the air to dodge a clumsy strike from the oversized fowl. As he was plummeting back to the earth, Naruto stabbed his kunai into the Evil Bird's head, creating a long and deep gash as he used his kunai to not only slow his descent to the earth, but also dealing massive amounts of damage to his opponent.
Blood splattered everywhere as the Danger Beast roared in pain, a long gash from the top of its head to the middle of its body now marring it. The Evil Bird's eye was dangling outside of the socket.
Naruto decided to finish off the beast and rushed forward, launching himself off the ground and slashing the throat of the Danger Beast in one, clean, fluid motion, the corpse falling to the ground, still, and unmoving.
*GROOOOOOOOOOWWWW*
Naruto groaned as his hunger once again made itself known.
"Great, now I'm starving and I still have to figure out what to do with this…oversize….Chicken…" A smile made its way upon his features, and he grabbed the Evil Bird's corpse and dragged it into the nearby woods.
LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Crackling could be heard just beyond the brush line of the forest near the town called Jellyfish.
Naruto had taken what appeared to be an oversized chicken and cooked it on a spit, using the skills he had learned on his training trip to prepare it into a proper meal. As soon as he deemed it okay, he tore off a leg of meat and dug in with gusto.
"This…This….This is AWESOME!"
NarutoXEvilbird Meat, I can ship it.
Tears crawled on the edge of his vision as he tore into the meat even faster after his small revelation. Soon his hunger was satisfied, and now there was still a little over half the meat left.
"Well that solves my money problem for now".
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
"GET YOUR MEAT HERE! FRESH FOWL HERE!"
Naruto was back in the town, selling what remained of the Evil Bird he had slain. Turns out it was quite the expensive and tasty meat, and for the prices he was selling them at, it was apparently a 'steal'.
Needless to say, he had amassed quite the sum of money, if the number of people buying from him were any indication.
"Oi, Naruto!"
Naruto turned to the familiar voice, "Aniki-san?"
"Whoa! You're the guy I've been hearin' about? The sucke…dude that's been selling low-priced Evil Bird?"
Naruto nodded, "Yep, I needed money, and I wasn't hungry anymore so I thought, 'Hey, let's kill two birds with one stone'". (I don't apologize for the terrible joke, worth!)
"Heh, you just get stranger and stranger Naruto-san."
"I'll take that as a compliment."
LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Two days had passed since the slaying of the most Evil of Birds, and people were still talking of the Blond stranger who had shown up out of the blue and killed a high ranked Danger Beast. Many who were visiting the town wanted to meet the stranger, but he had left the previous day. Stating, "he needed to get back to work".
Which is where we find our Blond Hero, traveling down a road making additions to his map as he walked by different landmarks as he walked by, although he was still curious as to the existence of the so called 'Danger Beasts' that wondered the country side. The most he could equate them to were Summons.
"Wait, the oversized animals In the Forest of Death, would they count?"
He shook his head at the thought, "Kinda weird though, why are they only on this continent?"
He focused on the road in front of him, temporarily putting his map and sketch brush into his pack
As he continued walking forward, he brought his palm up to chest level, curled his fingers, and began to circulate his chakra, making it spin, rotate, RAGE in every direction. Sweat dripped from his brow as he concentrated on the chakra sphere slowly made its way into existence. Naruto let out a sharp breath as the failed Rasengan faded from view.
"Still not there, huh?"
His thoughts turned to his progress, sure he was progressing faster than people had said they expected. But it wasn't his progress he was now thinking about. Instead, he thought of how far HE had progressed.
"Sasuke….."
He shook his head, ridding himself of those negative thoughts, but because of his shaking, his headband fell to his neck which let his hair fall across his forehead, shadowing his eyes.
"Just focus on the mission you were given."
He hadn't liked what his Baa-chan had done. He knew the real reason that he was given this assignment, so that he would be out of harm's way until the Akatsuki were dealt with. He had argued that if they were after him, it should be HIM that faced them. His notion was shot down and the mission forced upon him.
Now he was here, and he was going to complete his mission, go back to Konoha and then kick some Akatsuki ass!
LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
"Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck, I'm hungry again!"
It had been a month since he had eaten the delectable meat known as Evil Bird, and now he was facing the same problem he had then, and the problem of every teenager on the planet.
He was fucking hungry as shit!
He had mapped out a decent size of the local area, mainly around the coast as he stuck to it, but he had begun heading west inland to get more variety in the map.
Not many towns along the way, plus a lack of animals along the way, because apparently his luck had cast him away and disowned him for the time being.
He was starving.
Soon, he heard rumbling, then felt as the earth around him began to rumble, and he heard two shouts, men if he heard correctly, from further down the road.
He soon saw them, "UWAAHHHHHH, RUN! IT'S AN EARTH DRAGON! RUN KID, RUN!"
Naruto just looked at the massive beast that was charging at both him and the two traveling caravaneers that had been attacked. His eyes dulled, and saliva began to drip from the corners of his mouth.
"Food"
One of the men looked at the boy that they were currently trying to get moving, "What did yo-"
"FOOOOOOOOD!"
Naruto ran forward, dual kunai drawn and prepared to cut down the great beast and make it into his greatest Ramen Topping ever!
As soon as he reached it, however, he saw a male around his age in the air, spinning as he came down to earth, slashing the Danger Beast multiple times, which then sheathed his sword when he landed.
*CLINK* As soon as sword met scabbard. Blood exploded from the multiple wounds on the Earth Dragon, before it fell to the ground dead.
Naruto looked at the young male irritably, before voicing his opinion, "Who the heck are you?!"
The swordsman looked forward chuckling, before he looked straight at the Blond Cartographer and the two travelers behind him.
Naruto and the two behind him sweatdropped when the sword wielding young brown haired youth, who was wearing what appeared to be a long-sleeve white shirt with a vest over it, revealed his face.
He was currently lightly laughing as a blush was on his face, his face the very epitome of full of himself, one hand rubbing the back of his neck and the other pointing to himself, (You know what look I'm talking about)
"I'm Tatsumi!"
LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
AN: Hey there everybody! How'd ya feel about this story! I wanted to do something with a not so OP Naruto this time, where he was still strong, but would still be challenged by some people he met (Esdeath, Bulat, and Budo) and would have to fight his hardest to face said people. I also wanted to do something different than the whole, "Dimension hopping" deal and went with something different, where he was sent away for both a practical purpose, and would allow Tsunade to keep the Akatsuki away. The Akatsuki will appear later, as will others, but for now Naruto's location is unknown to them for now.
As I have stated in the beginning, I will do Three chapters for this, then the Fire Emblem: Awakening crossover, and see which one gains more attention, at which point I will continue the winner and update it in tandem with my Naruto/High School DXD story.
Do you want Naruto to have a Teigu? Because if so, I have a couple ideas.
