Naruto: Rise of the Emperor Revised
A Naruto Fanfiction
Original Story 'Naruto: Emperor's Dawn' by ChrisM2011
By Snafu the Great

Disclaimer: Naruto belongs to Kishimoto. Now, when I did Two on Two, I said that fanfic would be my only Naruto fanfic. But this fanfic was so damn good and at the time the author was not updating as much, and with his permission, decided to write this as a alternative piece to his story. Originally, I had the first three chapters written out, but after how I saw how much it was looking like ChrisM2011's version in some cases, so I decided to start from scratch (Chapter 2 is still mostly intact). Rather than have Hinata defect from the Leaf mid-story, she is with Naruto from the start. How is explained.

Also, the major twists I had in the original story still apply - Nagato is not of the Uzumaki clan, but rather Yahiko. And as you read, the Akatsuki invade Suna, rather than Konoha. Second, Sakura and most of the Hyuuga are hostile (haven't decided what to do with Neji, but Hiashi and Hanabi are definitely hostile).

About the Western Empire: Picture the Galbadian and Centra Continents (with islands) from Final Fantasy 8 and you got the Western Empire. The north continent is known as the Northern Region (with the city of Kimon as the Imperial Capital) and the south continent known as the Southern Region. Originally, I thought about using a much bigger landmass, but decided against it. I wanted the Unified West to be much more compact.

UPDATE: All of the grammar has been corrected.

Official Title: First Sovereign Emperor of the Unified West, His Imperial Majesty, Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze
Nicknames: The Maverick Emperor, The Crimson Fury of the Empire, The Man in Black, Akatsuki Killer, The Boss, The Chief, Lord Namikaze
Full Name: Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze
Alignment: Konohagakure no Sato (formerly); Western Empire

Naruto came across the sword by accident while returning from a successful campaign. It is because of this that gets Naruto interested in learning samurai swordsmanship. The sword has the ability to split into two seperate swords (ala Doku's Kitesu), of which Naruto can wield with deadly efficiency.

Background:
- Age 0: Became the jinchuuriki of the Nine-Tails
- Age 6: Enrolls into the Konohagakure Ninja Academy
- Age 12: Graduates with the rank of Genin, assigned to Team 7 with Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno. Banished from Konoha following the success of the Sasuke Retrieval Mission.
Mission. Escapes from Fire Country and heads west. Rescues Kumo kunoichi/jinchuuriki Yugito Nii from the Akatsuki and heads for the Western Continent.
- Age 13: Kills the most powerful of the warlords, Rokubungi Oda and takes control of his forces. Begins a campaign to unify the continent and bring about peace. Former Mist swordsman Zabuza Momichi and his partner Haku join Naruto's growing army.
- Age 14: Frees the Kyuubi no Kitsune from the seal, and begins to train under her. Later trains under Sonshi in samurai swordsmanship and politics.
- Age 15: Defeats the last three warlords, thus ending the Unification Wars. With the backing of his army and the people, Naruto is made Emperor of the Western Empire.
- Age 16: Summons Kazekage Gaara of the Sand and Mizukage Mei Terumi for a secret summit. The three leaders sign a military and trade alliance. Later trains Suna genin Maru Sarutobi, Moegi and Udon at the Kazakage's request for the Chuunin Exams. Later grants Kumo jinchuuriki Killer Bee political asylum in the Empire, along with his brother A, the deposed Raikage, having been overthrown by a Oto-backed Raikage. A serves as one of his senior advisors, while Bee...is still Bee
- Age 17: Rescues Asuma Sarutobi from Akatsuki members Hidan and Kazuku. Hidan and Kazuku are both killed (in truth, this was inadvertently, as Naruto simply avenged the death of the warrior monk Chiriku, who had offered him shelter in light of his banishment). This also leads to several confrontations with Konoha ninja. Rescues renegade Akatsuki founder Yahiko and the deposed Amekage Konan from Nagato, who later serve as his part of his Elite Guards. When the Akatsuki resumes their efforts to capture the jinchuuriki, he tracks down the majority of the jinchuuriki (Roshi, Han, Utakata and Fu) and protects them from the Akatsuki by offering them asylum within the Empire. At the conclusion of the Chuunin Exams, Naruto grants Hinata Hyuuga political asylum within the Empire.
- Age 18: Marries Hinata Hyuuga in a private ceremony. Assists Suna in the war against the Akatsuki led by Pein and Madara Uchiha. With the jinchuuriki backing him up as well as the Nine-Tails and a sizable amount of soldiers, Madara and Itachi Uchiha are killed, and the Akatsuki are routed and destroyed. The jinchuuriki are declared national treasures of the Empire.
