Gamabunta: -sigh- The idiot, I mean, Writer of Fantasy owns nothing this may reference to in terms of games or videos, or anime or whatever humanely possible for the average person to own, they belong to whoever they belong to and do not, in anyway, belong to Writer of Fantasy.

Me: That was Gamabunta folks! The Boss Frog! Oh look, he brought more frogs...with weapons...and..Oh crap. Anyway BEGIN THE STORY! -Runs into the distance with all of the Toad Summons coming after me-

Chapter 1: Intervention of a Higher Kind.

The night sky…Space, the so called final frontier. Not many are sure what is beyond the veil of space, nor do they know if there truly is anything else other than the stars! –Cough- Anyway, enough of this! Now please, direct your attention to this endless void of stars. What do you see? I see two worlds close together, but not enough to cause a disturbance…Two worlds spinning in orbit, so close, yet not know of each other's existence.

What do you think separates these worlds? The power of Gods? Barriers? Dimensions? I honestly don't know, anyway, direct your attention to the world on the right, the one that just looks like one big Island continent, with a few islands around it. You see it? Good! Now, listen closely it was never supposed to happen...Or maybe it was always supposed to be, who knows, but now...Both of these worlds are going to be connected...Intertwined!

As for how and why? Well...you'll just have to watch and find out...for now we travel to the world of the Elemental Nations, the island world.

-Outside a Village, surrounded by Trees.-

This world, the Elemental Countries or Nations whatever you know it by, was a strange land with many strange things. A lot of people who lived here, had a strange energy, a mix of spiritual and physical, named chakra. With this strange energy, they could do many things, heal wounds, manipulate the elements...Even summon extraordinary creatures if they had a contract!

Of course, with such power comes war, and this land's history was filled with war. Countless deaths over the river of time had made resentment and betrayal, and violence a common thing in this land. Peace was existent, but relatively unseen. Times of peace hardly lasted too long, before some fool started another war.

There was also another danger through the lands...The Nine Tailed Beasts, the Bijuu. These creatures, full of malice and destruction, were creatures with extreme levels of chakra, more than any human could POSSIBLY ever acquire...Each able to destroy a village if it wanted. The weakest was the One Tail, Ichibi no Shukaku, while the strongest...and most fearsome one was the Nine Tails, Kyuubi no Yoko. Not many were sure of the Bijuu's origins but there many legends or myths on how they came to be.

Said to split mountains, and cause tsunamis with a flick of its tails, the Kyuubi would be the closest thing to a God in terms of power a thing could get. Some even thought it was one, but it wasn't. This is where we begin our tale...Outside of Konoha, the Hidden Leaf Village...where One man was fighting the creature.

Screams filled the air, while flames burned south of a clearing. There were bodies everywhere, fallen trees, and the smell of death in the air, as a menacing roar filled the air. Not far in the clearing, stood a huge beast. It had red, orangish fur, nine huge, flailing tails, and two menacing red eyes. It was many meters tall, taller than the great trees around it as it roared again.

Standing in front of it, was a frog "TOAD!" wearing blue vest type thing. The toad was a rusty red color, with a little orange and bright red markings on him. In his...'hands' was a huge blade, what looked like a katana, fit for something of its size. The frog "I'M A TOAD!" also had a freshly bleeding scar over one of its eyes, but it could still see.

On top of him, was a young man. This man had a solemn expression on his face as he stared at the fox. This man wore a green jacket, blue pants, and a white cape with flames at the bottom. He had bright blue eyes, that seemed dimmed at the moment, spiky blond hair with two bangs going to his jaw.

In front of him, on top of the fr-toad, was a little baby. This baby had a small patch of blond hair, and two blue eyes. The baby was crying as the man stared at the fox sadly, before starting a few motions, connecting his hands together to make what looked like symbols...or signs. Who were they?

They were Gamabunta, the Boss Toad, Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, or Fire Shadow, also known as Leader of the Hidden Leaf Village...And the boy? Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, son of Minato and a woman by the name of Kushina Uzumaki.

"Gamabunta! I need you to stall for just a little longer!" Minato yelled out as he kept making those signs. The toad, just sighed before yelling. "Are you MAD? I almost lost an eye to that thing, and you want me to go back into the fray with it?" Gamabunta yelled out, obviously displeased.

The blond Hokage just sighed, before shaking his head and muttering. "I have a plan this time, Gamabunta. Just trust me...One last time my friend. If this works, it'll all be over." The toad heard the sadness in the new father's tone, and shook his head.

"You're going to use that aren't you? You know the consequences!" Minato hardened his eyes, as the Kyuubi roared at them, and jumped at them while Minato said in a cold tone. "I am well aware of the consequences...But either way this is the end of me! Now please my friend, Please!"

Gamabunta just shook his head in a solemn gesture, before he grew a smirk. "It was a pleasure being your partner, Gaki!" The Toad then jumped, blade in hand as it tackled the airborne fox, causing it to roar as they smashed into the ground.

Minato stumbled, before using chakra to stick his feet to Gamabunta, while making sure the baby was okay. Naruto's crying filled the air as the two huge beings battled each other. Gamabunta had blood flying off of him, as he blocked and parried the fatal strikes on his person. Minato was forming handsigns as fast as he could, before stopping.

Just at that moment, the Kyuubi shot all nine tails at Minato just as he finished, Gamabunta was too busy blocking a claw to his chest, to block those causing Minato to widen his eyes in surprise. However, several blue and silver chains shackled onto the tails, before they were brought, or smashed into the ground.

The blond blinked in surprise, before looking to see a woman standing off to the side. She was panting and coughing as she held up her arms toward the fox, the chains sprouting around her. This woman had long flowing red hair, purple eyes, and a sad look on her face as tears fell down her face. She wore what looked to be...a type of hospital gown.

"Kushina!" Minato yelled, shocked and worried about why she was here. She shouldn't be here, not in her condition! She could die being here, and using her chakra like that. "You need to go Kushina! You aren't in the condition to-"! He was broken off by a yell from Kushina, who was glaring at him with tears.

"I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO! I'm not a fool, you know that, but don't expect me to let you do this without me! We're married you and I, and if we must we will die together! NOW FINISH IT UP!" The red head yelled, causing Minato to blink it surprise, and tried to retort before another yell happened from under him.

"HURRY UP GAKI! I'm DYING HERE AND THIS STUPID FOX ISN'T WANTING YOU TO FINISH IT!" He looked to see Gamabunta sliding backwards as Kyuubi had two of its claws trying to slice him, despite it being anchored to the ground. The Bijuu had other plans than to let Minato finish whatever he was doing.

"Stupid Fox am I? I'm going to enjoy destroying you, Toad!" The Fox chuckled darkly, a malicious voice it had. That caught everyone off guard, not expecting it talk, but the blond just did one last handsign. "NO YOU WON'T! Reaper Death Seal!" Minato finished it off, by smashing his hand on the back of Gamabunta.

Immediately, a coldness filled the air. As if all life left this area. A feeling of despair and dread filled the area as everything stopped moving, breathing even. Even little Naruto quieted down as something started to appear. Everyone couldn't help but shiver as a creeping cold touched everyone.

A figure started to form, revealing a hooded figure. This hooded figure had purple/gray skin along with several arms. Blueish and white flames appeared all around the figure, as white hair was shown falling out of the hood, while two dark eyes looked directly at Minato, causing him to gulp.

"You who have summoned me, you know the Price?" A chilling voice rang through out everyone's heads, as if it was talking to their heads, not their ears. Minato slowly nodded sadly, and the Shinigami looked around, and saw the Kyuubi. Immediately, the Shinigami appeared in front of it, staring intently which caused the Kyuubi to gasp in fear.

"What do you have me do, My Summoner? Destroy this creature? Destroy the world? Seal this into a bag and leave it be? Tell me you despairing soul." As it talked, the Death God appeared around the area, standing in front of Naruto, Kushina, Gamabunta, before floating in the sky.

"Shinigami...I want you to seal this Beast away, into whatever you can. Preferably my child, so my village would live in peace from this monster. I need to do anything to stop this from moving any closer to the village!" Minato stated with conviction, staring hard at the paling fox. The Shinigami just looked back at the fox, and noticed something odd, before it grew an unseen smirk.

"Your order has been heard." The Shinigami stated in its cold voice, before it appeared in front of the Fox, and grabbed it. "But it will not be followed." Everyone paled as the Shinigami had one of its other arms grab a sickle and sliced the Fox in half. The Kyuubi roared in extreme pain, as it flailed before it was split in half.

One side immediately turned into an orb, an orb of fiery red energy that the Shinigami held in its hand, smirking. On the other hand was a transparent fox, the size of a small wood fox as it shivered in its hand. "WHAT?" Minato shouted, as he started to fall on his hands and knees. Kushina instantly fell to her knees, as her chains disappeared.

The Shinigami then turned, and shook its head. "Foolish mortal. I am the Shinigami, the Death God. As one of the Gods, I have been gifted foresight. I have seen many outcomes from this night, where your wife dies and your son descends into madness from it. I have seen him grow into a strong person and still fall at the end. I have seen him lose many things, and taking revenge on what caused him this loss."

The Death God then chuckled, that sent chills down everyone's spines as it appeared in front of Minato, who was staring in shock. "I have seen this village stab him in the back. I have seen his mother do the same. Many outcomes could come from this night, and the Gods would never be able to interfere...But you summoning me has given me a chance to rectify that."

The Shinigami then made it where only Minato, and Gamabunta could hear him. "Your son shall grow up strong, in a world full of wonders that are not his own. He will grow strong...Hopefully strong enough for when your land figures it all out...He shall know family, but not of your wife...I will give him another fate...One where no one knows how it will end."

"But...I summoned you...Shouldn't you follow what I say? You're only here because I summoned you here!" A heartless chuckle greeted his question, before he saw a smirk and the face of the Shinigami...A skeleton-like face greeted him.

"You are correct in that you are my medium into this world...But no, you aren't strong enough to control me. No one is necessarily. I do...what I think is correct, and what would bring me enjoyment."

The blond gaped in shock and outrage, while Gamabunta roared at the entity. "HOW DARE YOU! YOU LITTLE-!" The Shinigami just interrupted them, leaving Kushina wondering what was going as he channeled into everyone.

"Do not forget who you are talking to, toad. Now, I will seal Kyuubi's soul into your son, but the power? The power will be sealed into a scroll, and only the one with the Soul of the Fox will be able to open it."

This caused Minato to raise an eyebrow as he started to feel his energy leave him, coughing some more, he looked up at the Shinigami and said. "Whe-Where will my son be...Where?" The Shinigami grinned as a scroll appeared beside him, and ink appeared in a huge complex seal instantly as it sealed the Orb into it.

"What are you talking about Minato?" Kushina yelled as she looked at her husband, and the Death God. "Kukuku. Do not worry Uzumaki, and Namikaze? Your son will be in a world...a world that will now be tied together with this one sometime soon. A planet of magic and summons different from your own...The World named Gaia."

As it said this, the Shinigami grabbed Naruto who was crying at the cold hand, while the transparent fox laid down on his stomach, before a seal appeared on it and it fell in as if Naruto's skin was like water. As the Shinigami started to leave with Naruto, Kushina yelled out at Minato. "What's going on Minato! Tell me whats happening?"

Minato just sent her a sad glance, while Gamabunta just kept his mouth shut as the Shinigami flew upward. "Fear not Uzumaki. Your son will be fine, but when you will see him? You may never see him. Now, before you die Namikaze...Decide what to do with the scroll while you still breath!" It ordered, before vanishing with little Naruto.

"Gama...bunta..." Minato whispered, his energy leaving faster than before. "Yes Gaki?" Minato just smiled and shook his head. "I want the Toads to...keep the scroll. And tell Jiraiya-sensei...What happened. Please? I didn't expect this to happen, I honestly didn't. So, forgive me for asking one more thing on you."

Gamabunta just laughed, a sad laugh but a laugh nonetheless. "Gaki. This is your final request, there isn't a toad in the world that wouldn't uphold one last request. I will do it, and you...I hope you find peace sometime." Minato just nodded, as he started to close his eyes, the life leaving them.

"Tell Kushina...what happened...and that...I...lo..v...e...h..." His sentence was never finished as he passed on, his breathing stopped as he laid motionless on his partner's back. Gamabunta just shook his head sadly, and nodded. "I will do that and more...We'll find a way to get your legacy to know of you."

Kushina started to cry, as she screamed "NOOOOOO!" She couldn't tell if he was dead, but she saw him not moving when only a moment ago his mouth was moving. She cried, cried that she lost her husband and her son in one night, as she fell into unconsciousness muttering. "Noo...Not both of them."

Gamabunta just shook his head sadly as grabbed Kushina, and put her on his back as he jumped toward the village. 'How did this all happen...Why did it happen is more like it...'

-/-/-/The Other Planet, Gaia-/-/-/-/-

Gaia...The Home of various countries and Continents, there were four continents in this world. The Mist Continent. The Outer Continent, the Lost Continent, and the Forgotten Continent. These continents all had secrets, among other things. The most heavily populated was the Mist Continent, home of three countries or four technically.

The Countries of Lindblum, Burmecia, Cleyra, and Alexandria. These four countries and cities stood apart from each other, creating a sort of balance, but in the past there have been wars. All these lands though, were a home to magic and great soldiers. Burmecia and Cleyra with their impressive Knights, known as Dragon Knights.

Lindblum with their great many airships, and soldiers. And Alexandria...Home to the Knights. Their whole army comprised of well train male and female knights. However, the entirety of the Mist Continent was covered in a Mist, developing monsters and odd plants. But this same Mist was also used to pilot Airships as a power source.

Here on an Airship heading to Alexandria in one of the rooms, was a couple. The man in the room had red hair, with pale green eyes. His body was built as if he had been in a war, or a soldier, bearing scars on his arms and on his cheek. He wore a leather tunic, that was covering a red shirt while he wore black pants and leather boots with a sword on his waist.

Beside him was a young woman, who had a strange get up. She had light blue eyes, long blond hair and a black hat on her head. The hat was crooked and pointed at the top, as she wore a tight black dress that ended as a short skirt, with blue linings showing off her ample bust. She had a serene smile on her face as a staff was beside her.

They both had a ring on their finger, and were in a embrace that would show someone as lovers. The blond had her head on the man's shoulder as she smiled. "So we're finally going to Alexandria?" The man nodded. "That is right Clare. We're finally going to Alexandria, maybe there we can find a suitable life for us."

The woman, Clare just smiled and nodded. "Maybe, but as long as we have each other, I'm perfectly fine Roy." The newly named Roy, just shook his head. "I am the same way, but still." Clare just smiled and nodded. "I know."

After a few moments, the beauteous silence was broken when the Shinigami appeared in front of them both. This caused both of them to fall off their bed, before grabbing their weapons. Clare brought up her staff and started to summon what appeared a fireball, while Roy drew his sword and pointed it at the intruder.

"Who the hell are you?" Roy shouted angrily, one moment it was quiet, and another this person or creature was in front of them. Clare just kept making her fireball bigger, before the Shinigami just put a hand in its robe, causing them to tense...before pulling out a baby. This caused both of them to gasp, but kept their weapons up as a cold voice entered their heads.

"This boy...His name is Naruto. Naruto Uzumaki, or whatever you wish to call his last name. Now I suggest you put your weapons down, Mr. and Mrs. Firebrand." This caused the couple to freeze, and pale at how this thing knew their names, but why would it tell them the name of the child?

"Who are you?" Roy shouted at the Shinigami, who just shook its head and grinned. "Who I am is of no importance, I just have one small thing to ask of you two." Roy blinked at that, before he kept his weapon pointed at him, while Clare narrowed her eyes.

"What is it? What do you want spirit?" Roy looked confused, and sent her a look, but Clare just shook her head while the Shinigami's ethereal voice sounded in their heads with a chilling laugh.

"Very very good Witch, it seems you know what I am...Or at least at the moment. Anyway, as for what I want? I want you two to raise this child...Teach him what you know, treat him as your kin. I know you two cannot have a child of your own, so I am solving two problems with one child."

This caused them to take a step back, causing Clare to look down sadly at being reminded of that fact. Roy growled, and got in front of her while shouting. "You little..." The Shinigami just waved its hand at them, dismissing them.

"Temper temper. Every world its the same. Oh well, this child is now yours and yes before you go about experimenting on it, it is a human child not some cross-breed or cursed person...I just want this child to have an...acceptable home. Believe me or not, its up to you but the child is now in your hands...Now goodbye Roy and Clare Firebrand."

The 'spirit' put down the child on a dresser, before it started to vanish as Roy and Clare both shouted. "WAIT!" However all they got was a wave in return as it disappeared, causing them both to look at each other. "What the hell was that about?" Roy questioned angrily, while Clare shrugged.

"I don't know, but that thing..It was a spirit, a physical manifestation of something, but not entirely the true thing...Or at least I think that was what it was." Clare explained calmly, but she still had a sad look in her eyes. Roy just put a hand on his wife's shoulder, causing her to turn and see him smile at her.

"Don't worry about it." She smiled back, and they just looked at each other before..."WAAAAAAAAAHHH!" Naruto started to cry, causing them both to look at the baby. "I forgot all about the baby!" Clare shouted out, before running toward the child, causing Roy to sweat drop as Clare tried to stop him from crying.

'What just happened...But I wonder, if this will make Clare happy? Us having a real family.' He thought to himself, before shaking his head and looking at the baby. It had stopped crying and was laughing as Clare was giving it silly faces, which caused Roy to smile. 'Just maybe...This is what we needed the most...'

The red head walked up beside Clare, and smiled at the baby Naruto, who just reached his tiny arms at both of them as the Airship got closer to Alexandria.

So it begins, now how will things play out and what will happen when things start to change? Wait for the Next Chapter, Training with Mom and Dad!
