Hello readers,

before I start on this, I would like to say that I write as a hobby, my readers can influence me, advise me, but will not force me. I write what I feel will bring me the most joy and what I find to be the best way to tell a story. If I'm doing it wrong, TELL ME, I want to know what so I can atleast make the experience enjoyable for everyone.

Now with that grim stuff out of the way, I'll also like to say that when I write, I write with passion. A work with no passion is usually utter shit. I have written many things before, and have come to accept the fact that if at any point in time that passion is lost temporarily or permanently, it's time to stop. I have never lost my passion for a story permanently before, so rest assured that I still do think about The Dubious Moon for those people who have read it. I do plan to continue it once I get out of my procrastination stage, but will not force myself to release a chapter simply because I have to.

This story has been on my mind for quite a while now, and I find that I have a lot more ideas and passion for this than my others stories at the moment, So I've decided to start it out. This is currently only a 2 way crossover between FSN and Naruto, but will evolve into a 3 way crossover into the DxD world.

The story will only stay in the Narutoverse until the timeskip or during the timeskip, then we will be leaving it behind PERMANENTLY for the mixed DxD and FSN universe which I will be merging. This will NOT include a random dimension travel, but will be played out so all three universes are interconnected into one. I have a very good idea as to how I will do this, so when the time comes, tell me if you don't like it.

Now this will be an alive Kushina/Minato story, but they aren't a main focus, since they won't even be mentioned much after we leave narutoverse. They are only here to set a backstage for Natsumi's (A fem naruto, because I detest harems and this is one viable way I'm going to force myself to avoid one once we get out of narutoverse) siblings. The two siblings will play an important role in the later parts of this story, so stay tuned.

Something I find about most naruto fanfics with neglected naruto is that somehow naruto turns into the ultimate angst/emo lord of all time, when he has gone through the same or perhaps WORSE in the original timeline and turns out to be a cheerful and forgiving person. Naruto's forgiving and cheerful and playful personality literally defines him and his nature, his soul. If you turn him into anything else, you might aswell make an OC.

Now I know that its fanfiction, you can do whatever you want, but I'm just pointing out that naruto is and always be a cheerful and forgiving person, I mean, the kid forgave Nagato an hour after he destroyed his whole village and killed someone very close to him, think about that for a second.

So for the record, Naruto will NOT be an emolord in this story. He will retain a cheerful personality, he will be playful, he will be forgiving but he won't forget. He will learn from his experiences and he will adapt.

CURRENT PLAN FOR TIMELINE:

Naruto verse until timeskip (or after)

Natsumi's adventures in various heroes' times(practically an entire arc or two's worth of what natsumi does between Naruto's time until events of FSN/DXD verse, will include natsumi's journey's during several important servants' lifetimes.)

Great War (DxD verse event)

Civil War (DxD event)

Fate zero

Beginning of Cannon DxD

UBW

More Cannon DxD

Apocrypha (Yes, After much internal debate, I have decided to make apocrypha a part of this story. Firstly the events of apocrypha are far too interesting to pass up, including Atalanta's appearance, which I find is literally worth the thing in itself, this means that though characters are the same (Yep, I'm moving characters from being in the 4th grail war to a completely new grail war but still on the same stage). There's just far too many good interactions (*cough* artoria and mordred *cough* that could occur here that I'm not willing to pass up. I will try to make this as smooth as I possibly can. I will also try to keep it as original from the, well, original as possible.

Now I'm not saying that for certainty I can get this far before running out of steam, but I'm gonna try my very best. planned stories usually are better than the winged ones, so this is the one I'll be abiding by.

So without further notice, Happy reading~.

8 YEARS AFTER KYUUBI INCIDENT

"Get the demon!"

"Get the brat before she leaves the compound!"

Several figures were shouting under the starry sky as three figures chased a smaller figure through the streets. The smaller figure, a child with bright blonde hair and three whiskers on each cheek, was panting as she turned and went into an alleyway in a hurry, not daring to look back and check if her pursuers were gone.

The child was no older than eight years, and wore a simple white shirt covered in dirt with grey pants that were in even worse condition than the shirt. Yes, the child was indeed Natsumi Uzumaki Namikaze, eldest of the Uzumaki Namikaze children.

Why was the daughter of the yondaime being chased in her own village by the villagers no less, you ask? It all started eight years ago, when the Kyuubi attacked. The yondaime managed to defeat the masked Uchiha that had reportedly controlled the Kyuubi, and managed to seal the Yin and Yang of Kyuubi's chakra inside of Menma and Mito Uzumaki Namikaze, the second son and youngest daughter of Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze, two of the three triplets' born on the day along with Natsumi.

As the consciousness was linked to the Yin and the Yang, it meant the splitting of the soul would be necessary, a feat that could only be performed by the Shinigami himself, ensuring Minato's death during the sealing, which prompted him to seal the soul and consciousness of the Kyuubi into his remaining daughter, Natsumi Uzumaki Namikaze

Yet when he finished the sealing, his life was not taken as a price. He didn't not understand how, nor didn't anyone else, yet it did happen.

The two siblings were regarded as heroes in the leaf, being burdened with such corrupt chakra. The treatment was the complete opposite for Natsumi, who many believed to be the Kyuubi in human form. Slurs and insults, beatings and stabbing were commonplace for Natsumi as the village vented on her throughout the years. To the village, the girl didn't have the burden of the poisonous chakra like her siblings, whilst housing the evil demon, Kyuubi itself. If people were to dig further, it would be pretty clear exactly who was in control of the frail body, but to the village that had lost so much in a single night, such thoughts passed by them without even registering in their heads.

For the first two years of her life, it was manageable for Natsumi. Once she started becoming aware of her surroundings, it was clear that her parents were spending far more time with his siblings than her. Was she jealous? no. Was she confused? Yes. For another year, she spent her life in her siblings' shadows, as they slowly took up their parents' time. The year after that, she learned about the Kyuubi and jinchuuiriki after overhearing her parents talking about what they would do in regards to containing the volatile chakra held in her two siblings

Though it did hurt to know that such was the case, she accepted it knowing that her siblings needed the attention, yet over time it slowly became worse.

The only people who talked to her somewhat were Itachi, Jiraiya, Sasuke (who was probably the only person she could call a 'friend') and Mikoto Uchiha, who had provided her with shelter and food after the incident when she turned seven and a half.

After re-updating the blood-seals on the Namikaze Estate, her parents forgot to register her inside the seal, which led to a very nasty backlash in the form of being thrown by an invisible force - . , impaling her through the shoulder when she tried to enter the compound at night. Though the remnants of the Kyuubi Chakra healed her in about half an hour, it was possibly the worst experience in her life, both physically and mentally.

She knew that bringing it up to anyone would be a bad idea. If she wasn't bulldozed by the council about how her true colours were showing and that she wasn't a true Namikaze since she was rejected by the seal, only the Kyuubi, she would only be brought back to the family through guilt, wthich she did not need for now.

Instead, she stayed in a forest that she found to the west of Konoha's walls, only a few hundred meters out. It was close enough to get food from her friends at the Uchiha (which by divine luck, the Uchiha Compound is located on the edge of Konoha.)

It had been half a year since then, she learned to fish by herself to survive most of the time, but still went to Konoha once a week to get supplies, and also to meet Itachi, Mikoto and Sasuke. The Namikaze's hadn't noticed her absence for the time, which was surprising even to her, who had bet that it would be a few months before she was found. It didn't matter to her, as the longer they were ignorant, the better, as she enjoyed the quiet life outside the city.

The young girl leapt over a building with the limited chakra control she developed over the last half year to get around the forest. Using the moment of confusion displayed by the villagers, she then dived towards the small hole she used to get in and out of the Konoha walls undetected. Ignoring the dirt clinging onto her hunting gear that was fashioned by Mikoto after hearing her predicament, she grabbed the bag of food that was given to her by her surrogate mother during the visit and leapt outside of Konoha's boundaries and into the forest.

Her side ached from the village ambush that had probably left a rib or two broken, but she went on whilst the Kyuubi fixed the wound. She only managed to run for a minute before having to stop for a break due to her condition. Lying next to a tree, she laid down the bag next to her before starting to tend to the wound. Her palms glowed pale green whilst she applied it to her side. She flinched from the contact, but forcefully held her hand to keep it from moving. Numerous incidents and injuries from attempting to use chakra in the forest had given her experience in the medical techniques. Though very basic and rough, it did help lessen the pain.

The blissful moment under the moon only lasted a minute as she heard the leaves ruffling in front of her. Shortly after, a large boar double her size stepped out of the shadows with bloodthirsty eyes. It was already clear that this was a mutated being, animals that harnessed the chakra in the air. They were said to be much larger and more fierce than normal animals, and from the looks she was getting from the boar, the talks were true.

Fear coursed through her body as she recognised her chance of survival- practically impossible. Yes, she could utilise chakra to a certain extent, but mutated beasts were said to be on par with jonins, whilst she could only compare to a fresh academy graduate even with her experience. Even if she was a prodigy, it was nigh impossible to skip more than 5 years in her education, and that was not including her physical capabilities with her current body.

She reached for the makeshift hunting bow on her back that she was familiar with. The Uchihas and tried to teach her basic hunting skills with kunai and shurikens, but in the end it as revealed that she was most apt for the bow out of all long ranged weaponry. An uncommon weapon in the elemental nations, seeing that shurikens and kunai were far more versatile and easier to carry. Though it lacked the power a bow could put out, it was more than enough to slit throats.

In the end, she had come to rely on the bow due its cheap cost to both create and sustain along with arrows compared to the expensive metal kunais that she would have to continuously purchase after hunts.

Jumping onto a nearby tree, she nocked an arrow out of desperation before loading her upper body with chakra to allow her to draw the bow, before firing it at the boar. Though it hit dead center right in between the boar's eyes, the arrow simply bounced off the skin as if it were metal.

seeing that the attack had no effect, dread began to seep into her mind. There was no way she could outrun a mutated beast, her attacks had no effect whilst she had a wound that was still regenerating, albeit not very well due to her constant movement.

Seeing an opportunity, the titanic boar surged forwards and sped towards the tree she was on with a blur. She couldn't even register the movement before pain erupted through her body as she was sent flying backwards before colliding with another tree. She gasped for breathe before clutching her previous wound that had just reopened.

'damn, I'm losing too much blood' She thought as she clutched her bow before drawing a final arrow and aiming it at the direction which she came from in anticipation of the boar, though she knew that it would do nothing. With a roar, the boar emerged from the woods with the same red eyes thirsting for blood.

Seeing those eyes, something awakened within her, something familiar.

Strength, familiar strength that was yet not familiar.

What was it? Was it even the correct time to ponder on such thoughts? She didn't know, but the familiar power was already surging through her body. Why did those eyes bring back memories, memories that she possibly couldn't have?

She couldn't help but staring at those blood red eyes, as if she were infatuated with it. Though unknown to her, her two golden bangs were slowly turning a light emerald whilst her ocean blue eyes were filling with a foreign green glint, eventually stopping once it turned to turquoise. A memory played from deep within her mind, though it felt more like a vision.

In the vast plains, a large boar roared as armies of men were trampled, arrows flew yet not one slew the beast as they harmlessly fell to the floor, failing to injure the beast.

"Damn, Artemis must've been either really pissed or drunk to send that thing down" A young blond said in exasperation.

"Don't insult Lady Artemis in my presence boy" A female voice cried whilst raining arrows upon the beast with her large black longbow. The bow exuded a presence unlike any other meager bow that the men were holding, as if it were blessed by God itself.

The teen had long flaxen hair whilst her two bangs were a unique shade of green. Her outfit was that of a huntress, leaving much room for flexibility whilst a knife was holstered at her side, though was not openly visible. Natsumi could swear that she had never met her before, yet deep in her soul she was screaming- no, longing for her, as if she was as familiar as family.

"Not the time now, any ideas on how to take that thing down?" The blond asked again.

"... Yes, It probably won't kill it, but it will be good enough. I can only use one of mother's two more destructive abilities, but it should be able to slow it down." She replied after some hesitation.

"Then do it quick, the more time we waste the more people are left dead."

"-Uh 'Anta? You might want to hurry up, the oversized pig is looking our way!" Another man with green hair shouted from a distance.

The huntress didn't reply as she pulled the bowstring as far back as she could without changing her posture. Slowly, she aimed it towards the sky in the direction of the boar. Sparks flew from the tip of the arrow as it was released.

"[Phoebus Catastrophe: Complaint Message on the Arrow]" She whispered. The chant was completely missed by the onlookers, but for some reason she heard it as if it were clear as day.

The vision suddenly ended as she was back at Konoha's forest, laying injured in front of the boar with a feeble arrow nocked.

The bow suddenly exploded in light as it began to morph into a larger, yet similar shape, blinding the boar temporarily.

As the light faded, a pure white longbow with mysterious gold markings appeared in her hand. Though it was nearly twice her size, it still felt comfortable in her grip. The bow was missing the markings of the Sun and the Moon, but in its place were two obscure marks resembling a fox.

Without questioning the change, she began to pull on the bowstring as the boar began to break out of its stupor. Letting out a furious roar, it began to charge in her direction.

Though she pulled on the bowstring, it didn't go far. In fact, she could only pull around 10% or perhaps less, yet she felt it would be enough. Releasing the bowstring, she let the arrow fly.

The boar tilted its head in confusion at the apparent lack of strength Natsumi put in the attack even though it was her last chance. She hadn't even pulled the bowstring far enough for an arrow to pierce paper.

Yet the arrow was released with a shockwave. The wind howled as the arrow pierced through the air and shot towards the boar like a bullet. It didn't even have time to react as the arrow pierced its skull and threw the boar over 20m back, destroying all trees and debris along the way.

As the smoke cleared for Natsumi, she witnessed the destruction she had caused with wide eyes. Before she could think further, The headache from earlier resumed as she fell to the ground screaming. The emerald strands in her twin bangs multiplied as it rapidly took over the entirety of her front face. Though she wouldn't find out for another day, her now turquoise eyes turned a slightly greener shade whilst her original smooth golden hair grew down to her waist.

'I'm alive...'

With that final thought, she lost consciousness.

HELLO Readers

Did you enjoy the chapter? Anything you didn't like or like? please leave a review and tell me! But lets clear up a few things before things get too confusing.

If you haven't realised yet, the short memory she played is that of the Calydonian boar's rampage and the Argonaut's involvement, along with the famous arrow from Atalanta that struck the boar.

FIRST OFF-

No, this is not a Natsumi/Naruto becomes Atalanta story. I will not spoil it now, but Natsumi is not a Atalanta reincarnation or takeover, but is a separate entity herself. Her strong resemblance to Atalanta and the vision she saw of the battle is not because of some link she has to Atalanta, she saw all of it for another reason, all to be revealed in the (hopefully) Second part of overall story after we are done with narutoverse.

Natsumi's bow being different from Tauropolos is the first sign of that, they are not the same people nor spiritually linked, they are completely different people and beings, but are connected in a way that may surprise you when you find out.

Secondly, Atalanta's mother is not mentioned, so I'm taking alot of liberty with that, I may be giving away too much information and people are probs already putting two and two together, but for those who haven't, stay tuned~

Thirdly, this will not be the only *awakening* ish that she will go through, in the next few chapters, the second and final one will occur. The characters section of this story should give you an idea to who.

And since it might get confusing, I'll simply put it out now.

I am not going to pull the 'dragged into another world' scenario. That's plain lazy way to do a crossover, no.

I will be attempting to join all three universes into a single comprehensive universe. DxD and Fate are VERY compatible worlds, so that isn't too hard, the only hard part is the narutoverse, and I have a good idea on how I can do this. If you want to know, PM me, and I'll tell. I'd rather not spoil for casual readers.

Stay tuned~
