Solar Fox

A Naruto/Boktai/Lunar Knights Crossover

A/N Update of 5/10/12: Hey, everyone! Nanaya Zero here with a newly-reformatted, slightly redone chapter 1 of Solar Fox. I'm mostly doing this to get back into the mood for continuing this story (Which I really want to do, considering how far I've gone with it already), and because I've changed my writing style enough to warrant a reformat.

As you'll notice, I took the advice of a reviewer whose username escapes me at the moment, and broke up a lot of the text blocks into smaller, easier to read portions. I also changed a few details and bits of dialogue here and there. Anyways, expect the other chapters to get this same treatment.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Boktai or Lunar Knights. They belong to their respective owners. I am not making any money off of this piece of fanfiction, either. It's not like you'd get anything from suing me, though...

First Sun: Awakening! Birth of the new Solar Boy!

'This is not good...' This was the prevailing thought on Naruto's mind as he raced through the village of Nami no Kuni. Our favorite blond had managed to sleep in, and thus, was left behind by the rest of Team Seven when they left for the bridge Tazuna was building in an attempt to free Nami no Kuni from Gato's influence. Said businessman knew about the effort, and had hired several shinobi to assassinate Tazuna. Namely Momochi Zabuza, his apprentice Haku, and the Onikyoudai(Demon Brothers). The Onikyoudai had already been dealt with thanks to the combined efforts of Naruto and Sasuke, with the finishing blow dealt by Kakashi-the sensei of Team Seven.

The next challenge came in the form of Zabuza. The battle was at a stalemate for a while, until Kakashi got caught in Zabuza's Suirou no Jutsu. However, thanks to Naruto's quick thinking, he and Sasuke had managed to get Kakashi free, and thus turned the tides of the battle in their favor.

However, as luck would have it... Zabuza's accomplice, Haku-who was disguised as an Oinin- had intervened just before the killing blow could be delivered. Thankfully for the injured and tired Team Seven, the method she had used rendered Zabuza incapacitated for a little over a week.

The team used their time wisely after recovering, and trained for the upcoming rematch against the Kiri Nukenin. Kakashi had instructed the three Genin on how to climb trees using chakra. Sakura, the third member and only female of Team Seven had been the first to get it down, while Sasuke and Naruto had both needed to work long into the evening to master it. They achieved their goal, but Naruto chose to stay behind to continue working on the exercise. He continued training into the early hours of the next day trying to improve his Chakra Control. He succeeded in doing so, but wound up sleeping in the forest clearing he had been training in due to the sheer amount of fatigue he had built up.

When he awoke, he was greeted by a beautiful young girl that was only one or two years older than him. Having plenty in common, the two became fast friends, despite one of them knowing they'd be facing each other in the upcoming rematch. Just as the two parted, the girl imparted a bit of wisdom into the blond, teaching him the importance of fighting for those you cared with all of your might, and how that was when could truly be strong. Naruto took the wisdom to heart, and resumed training with his resolve stronger than ever.

However, he managed to overdo it, leading to his current predicament-being left behind by his team. The young jinchuuriki had awoken to a great commotion outside Tazuna's house being caused by two mercenaries hired by Gato. They were quickly taken care of with Naruto's clever usage of the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. Seeing this as the signal that the rematch was about to begin, Naruto hurried on towards the bridge, bringing us to his present situation.

"Crap, crap, not good, crap!" Naruto exclaimed as he ran as fast as he could towards the bridge, unaware of the stares he was getting from the female population of the village thanks to his change in clothes this morning. Gone was his orange jumpsuit, wrecked from the damage it sustained during his training, and in it's place was an outfit consisting of a dark blue, form-fitting sleeveless shirt, and pair of black shorts with strips of dark blue going down the sides, and on his feet, instead of the normal shinobi footwear, a pair of steel-toed boots were worn(1).

At the Great Bridge...

When the blond finally reached the bridge, he was surprised by the sight that greeted him. Kakashi was locked in a one-on-one match against Zabuza himself, and it seemed like they were on equal grounds, however, the real thing that caught his eye was the dome of icy mirrors off to the side. Squinting his eyes in an attempt to get a better look at what was inside, he caught a glimpse of pink and blue.

'Sakura-chan! Sasuke!' He thought in a panic, before rushing towards the Ice Dome, intent on breaking through it to get to his teammates. It was not to be, however, as some of the mirrors shifted positions, completely blocking off any chance he had to get inside to help them. He pounded at the wall with both fists, his desperation growing. It was to no avail, as the mirrors stood strong.

What came next made the blond's blood run cold. Dual yells of pain came from inside the dome, followed by the sound of two bodies dropping to the concrete. Naruto's eyes widened in fear and sorrow as he heard the yells. The ice dome began to melt away, revealing both Sakura and Sasuke laying on the ground, their littered with senbon... dead. The blond couldn't believe it...

'They... They're gone...' He thought in shock as he slumped to his knees. He failed to notice the beautiful young woman standing in the middle of where the dome once was, with long chocolate brown hair, and crimson eyes that gleamed as they spotted Naruto.

"Naruto-kun..." The voice spoke, sympathy clear in the tone, causing the blond to look up at the speaker. He blinked as he recognized the person speaking to him, despite the different eye color and outfit.

"... Haku-chan..." Her outfit consisted not of the oinin attire she wore during the first battle, nor the kimono that was worn when they met in the forest, but rather attractive black gothic lolita-styled dress that happened to accentuate her bust, topped with a mantle adorning her shoulders, covering her back from view. If it weren't for the situation at hand, Naruto knew he'd probably be admiring her appearance.

She walked towards him slowly, the sound of heels clicking against the concrete echoing through the area, before she placed a hand gently on the blond's shoulder.

"Forgive me, Naruto-kun... I must follow Zabuza-sama's will..." She said apologetically, a frown marring her beautiful face. Naruto looked down to the ground, his bangs hiding his eyes from sight.

"Y-you... You killed them..." He managed to say, as a faint spark of energy coursed across his body. Haku blinked as her senses began to warn her of an incoming danger. She pulled her hand away and began to back up, as more and more sparks began to surge around Naruto, becoming more and more visible.

"They're gone... Because of you...!" He growled, as he slowly stood up, his arms hanging limply, before a large beam of crimson light pierced through the mist, striking where Naruto stood, causing Haku to jump back in surprise, and for Kakashi and Zabuza to stop their battle.

'This power...' Kakashi thought, fear beginning to grip at his heart. 'Could it be that the seal is weakening...?'

Zabuza's thoughts were of a similar track. 'That power... It can't be... The Dark Sun(2)...?'

Back with Naruto and Haku, the beam of crimson light continued to pour into Naruto, causing his power to begin to rapidly increase. The blond roared loudly, anguish and rage clear in his voice. Haku continued backing away, as she began to panic.

'T-this power... It's overwhelming... What on earth IS he...?' She thought, unaware of the struggle going through the blond's mind at that very time...

Within Naruto's Mindscape...

Darkness... That was all that Naruto could see. He felt like he was floating in a sea of nothingness... It was almost at the point of being total sensory deprivation.

'Where... Where am I...?' He wondered, only for his thought to echo throughout the area, further confusing him. He tried to move around, only to find that he couldn't. All he could do was just float there... Until a strange red ball of light formed in front of him.

"Kukuku... I see, so it's finally time for you to awaken..." A voice coming from the light said, causing the blond to blink in surprise. It wasn't every day that one saw a talking ball of light.

"Awaken...? To what, dare I ask?" He replied in a confused tone of voice, causing the red light to chuckle again.

"To the power of the Dark Sun... Solar Boy!"

"Dark Sun...? Solar Boy...? What the hell are you talking about?" Naruto's confusion only grew as he voiced his questions. The red ball of light began to float closer, and Naruto could swear that somehow, it was giving a malicious grin.

"What I am saying is that you're being given an opportunity... You want to pay that bitch back for killing your friends, don't you?" Naruto flinched at that, but nodded.

"Yeah... I don't want to let her get away with that... But she's a good person at heart!" Naruto tried to defend Haku, only for the red light to cackle.

"Hah! Would a good person follow someone like the sword-wielding one? Would a good person kill two genin in cold blood? You need to kill her! Make the world know that nobody shall mess with the wielders of the Dark Sun! Follow me, child, and I shall grant you all the power for that, and more!" The voice exclaimed, as it seemed to grow with each statement. Instinctively and slowly, Naruto began to drift towards the red light, his right arm reaching out to it...

… Only for his path to be cut off by a brilliant flash of golden light.

"What?" The red light roared, as the new light shoved the blond away, before it faded, revealing... a Sunflower with a face, of all things.

"Sorry, but I shall not let you corrupt this child, Agent of the Dark Sun!" It exclaimed, despite lacking a visible mouth. Naruto blinked as he stared at the Sunflower and the red light argue with each other.

"Otenko, you bastard! You always get in my way!" The one known as 'Otenko' gave the equivalent of a shrug with his leaves, before leveling a glare at the red light.

"It matters not. As long as I am around, I shall keep you from corrupting this Solar Boy! Now, begone!" With another flash of golden light, the red light was forced to recoil, as if it were struck, before it began to shrink to it's original size and then some.

"You haven't heard the last of me, Otenko! I will get my hands on the power of the Solar Tribe!" The red light roared, before it vanished completely, leaving Naruto alone with Otenko.

"What... Was that all about...?" Naruto asked dazedly, as he lightly shook his head. Otenko just looked at the blond, before hovering close to him.

"That was a Denizen of the Dark Sun Tribe... They have been trying to obtain the power of their enemy-the Sol Tribe-for over a millennium. And as it happens, you are a descendant of the Sol Tribe." Naruto just blinked in confusion, before shrugging, and asking the next question on his mind.

"Okay... So, who, or what, are you? I'd at least like to be able to call you something other than Sunflower-san." Otenko nodded in agreement, before introducing himself.

"My name is Otenko, and I am a guardian of the Solar Tribe. My duty is to guide each Solar Boy through their life." A question mark appeared over the blond's head as he struggled to figure out what Otenko was talking about.

The guardian just sighed, before giving the blond a stern look. "Alright, I shall explain this, but only once, so be sure to listen carefully." Otenko said, earning a nod from the blond.

"Long ago, there was a group of people that worshiped the Sun. It was the source of their unique powers, and allowed them a clean lifestyle. They were known as the Solar Tribe. Now, every generation, there would be a child born with exceptional powers in regards to the sun. That child would become either a Solar Boy or a Solar Girl. They would be allowed to explore the world, and with my guidance, help keep the peace by eliminating the undead that were trying to destroy the peace." Otenko turned around so his back was to Naruto, who was listening intently.

"Over many years, the Solar Tribe began to scatter around the world, blending in with the others, until their existence was all but a memory. Solar Children continued to be born, succeeding the previous generations in keeping the peace." Otenko let loose a heavy sigh at this point.

"Sadly, nothing could prepare them for the day when an Undead of incredible power emerged... He was simply known as... The Count of Groundsoaking Blood. Many Solar Children tried to vanquish him, but almost all of them failed, and lost their lives in the process. Except for one... Who had incredibly strong Solar Blood mixed with another lineage. He is your ancestor... His name was Django. He managed to defeat the Count, and save the world from eternal darkness. He was a great Solar Boy, who surpassed every one of his predecessors." Naruto was awed by this information. Here he was, an orphan, discovering he had a savior of the entire WORLD as an ancestor! He was about to comment, when Otenko began to speak again.

"Now, like all good things, Django's protection of the world had to come to an end. He eventually passed away from old age, but not before ensuring that the legacy of the Solar Children would go on. Years went by, and the Solar Tribe's remnants spread across the world even further, until one year, when the undead managed to finally gain the upper hand... They managed to engulf the world in eternal night. This continued on for many a decade, until finally, a single pair put a stop to it. One was a direct descendant of Django; his name was Aaron. And the other was a direct descendant of Django's sibling, Sabata; his name was Lucian. Both were very powerful in their own rights, and through their teamwork, they managed to bring daylight back to the world."

Naruto couldn't believe what he was hearing. His ancestors were heroes! This was almost too much for the young preteen to handle. Finally, Otenko turned back around, and hovered closer to the blond.

"Now, young Naruto, it is time for you to awaken to your lineage. It's time for you to become... A Solar Boy." Naruto nodded, a grin on his face, and a firm resolve in mind.

"Alright. I'll do my best to become the greatest Solar Boy ever, and protect everyone from the Undead!" Naruto exclaimed proudly, causing Otenko to give his equivalent of a smile.

"That's exactly what I was hoping to hear. Now, return to reality, and do what you know you must." With that, a brilliant flash of light emitted from Otenko, blinding the blond, as he faded from his mindscape...

Back at the Bridge...

The fighting had come to a stop. Nobody dared to move, in fear of what was unfolding before their very eyes. The Dark Sun's energy continued to flow into Naruto, growing in intensity. Even Gato, who had arrived on the scene with an army of mercenaries, had stopped to watch the spectacle.

Eventually, the intake of the corrupt power finished, and the blond stood there, unmoving and silent... Everyone in the area held their breath, waiting for what was to come next... When finally, he began to move. Leaning forward, Narutp gripped at his chest.

"I won't..." He managed to get out through gritted teeth, as his body began to reject the Dark Sun's power. "... Let you control me!" He exclaimed loudly, as all the corrupt power he absorbed from his initial rage erupted from his body in a single massive wave.

Both Kakashi and Zabuza were able to avoid being blown away by the wave, by applying chakra to their feet, and sticking to the ground. Haku, who had seen the power burst coming, had quickly moved, and channeled a good amount of energy into her mantle, allowing it to shift into a protective dome around herself and Sakura's and Sasuke's bodies. Tazuna had moved far enough away to avoid the majority of the blast's power, and was only just returning.

Gato and his Mercenaries, however, were knocked back quite a distance from the blast. When everyone had recovered from the knock back, and Haku had dispelled the dome, they all looked towards the source, and were surprised at what they saw.

Naruto stood there, a calm, confident expression on his face, as his clothes rustled lightly in the breeze. A soft golden aura that gave off a comforting, warm feeling surrounded his body, and now adorning his neck was a long red scarf. In his hands was a strange, handgun-like device that instead of a barrel and a sight, had lenses and what appeared to be a battery behind them. Haku's eyes widened in fear as she recognized the power emitting from the blond.

'S-Solar power! Naruto's of the Solar Tribe!' She thought in fear, as the blond began to approach her position. She jumped back in fear, worrying that he was going to attack her. However, he didn't even look at her, and instead, knelt down to Sasuke's and Sakura's bodies, and held a hand over them.

"Heal..." He whispered, causing a soft green light to emit from his hand. Slowly, but surely, the senbon in their bodies began to be pushed out, until they all clattered to the ground harmlessly, and all the wounds they had left were completely closed up.

Standing up straight, Naruto then looked to the end of the bridge, where Gato and his Mercenaries stood yet again, with the short businessman wearing a cocky look on his face.

"Well, well, well... What do we have here? It seems you weren't capable of killing the Bridge-builder, Zabuza. Even your little bitch of an apprentice couldn't make it happen..." He chuckled darkly, before gesturing to the mercenaries behind him.

"No matter, this just forces me to speed up my plans a bit. I was planning on not paying you, and killing you off once you finished the job, but now it seems I'll just have to kill you all! Men, attack!" He exclaimed, as the mercenaries all gave a roar of approval, and began to charge at them.

"Well, Kakashi, it seems we no longer have a reason to fight each other..." Zabuza said as he looked over to Kakashi, and gave a smirk underneath the bandages covering his face. The silver-haired jounin nodded in agreement.

"Yes, and it appears they we now have a common enemy. Shall we call a truce?" He asked, while holding out a hand. The Kiri nukenin took it, and with a firm shake, the two turned to face the mercenaries head on-Zabuza with his Kubikiri Houchou, and Kakashi with several dozen Kage Bunshin ready to attack. Haku, upon seeing the two jounin ready to work together, held out both hands and formed a pair of ice nodachi before assuming a battle ready stance. Naruto, however, simply grinned, and aimed his new weapon at the oncoming army of mercenaries, before leading the counter-charge.

The minute the two forces met, all hell broke loose. What the mercenaries lacked in skill, they made up for in sheer numbers, while the shinobi(Plus a Vampiress and a Jinchuuriki-turned-Solar Boy) had them easily outmatched in skill. Kakashi and Zabuza were killing mercs left, right and center, while Haku was making short work of them with her ice blades. Naruto, however, was cutting through the group, only shooting a few of them dead as he headed straight for Gato. The minute he reached the businessman, he glared.

"So, you're the one behind Nami no Kuni's suffering?" The blond asked, causing the fat little man to smirk cockily. Naruto would have punched the man in the face right then if he wasn't so sure something would go horribly wrong.

"So what if I am? What's a child like you going to do to stop me?" It was then that the blond noticed something... A dark aura was coming off Gato. And while he had only seen it once before, he could immediately recognize it from his awakened Solar Tribe blood. Gato was an undead himself.

Taking aim, the blond fired several solar shots at Gato in an attempt to subdue him, only for the portly man to move out of the way with an incredibly surprising amount of speed. Ceasing fire for a moment, Naruto narrowed his eyes at Gato before speaking up.

"I thought so... You're one of the undead, aren't you..?" He asked, causing the fat man's smirk to turn into a maniacal grin.

"Impressive! You must be a prodigy of a Solar Boy if you're able to see through my disguise so soon after awakening!" Gato exclaimed, as the dark aura intensified, and soon formed a black bubble around him. "However, it doesn't matter how much of a prodigy you are. A newbie is still a newbie! You'll fall easily enough, and I'll be able to strengthen myself by draining you of your blood!" Gato's distorted voice rang out from inside the bubble.

When it faded, it revealed an abnormally-muscular looking humanoid with blue skin, and crimson eyes. His business suit was torn to shreds from the sudden change in it's wearer's size.

"Let's get this over with quickly, as I have a country to suck dry in every meaning of the phrase!" He cackled, before charging the blond, with one clawed hand ready to strike.

"I won't let you!" Naruto yelled, as he fired Solar shot after Solar Shot at the vampiric businessman, only for a few to manage to hit, and fail to slow the vampire down.

"Is that all? I've felt mosquito bites that hurt worse than that!" The transformed Gato roared, as he gripped Naruto by his neck, and slammed him forcefully into the concrete. This resulted in an impression being left in the bridge, ans Naruto's eyes widening from the pain as he coughed up a bit of blood.

"You can't hope to stop me, Newbie Solar Boy!" Gato exclaimed, as he lifted the blond up, and flung him into the air, before launching a volley of dark energy shots from his mouth. Naruto winced as he flew through the air, but quickly righted himself, and countered the dark shots with his own solar ones, just barely saving himself from being struck.

However, it was then that Naruto felt a huge surge of energy enter his body, and he looked up. He was past the mist and clouds, and getting a great amount of sunlight at this point.

"I'll put all of my power... into this one shot!" He exclaimed, realizing this would be his only chance at beating Gato. His weapon soon began to glow brightly.

"Take... THIS!" Naruto yelled, once the charge was complete, causing a large beam of solar power to erupt from the lenses, and rocket towards Gato. Said Vampire was caught off guard by the size of the attack, having not expected such power from a "Newbie" Solar Boy, and was hit by the full force of the attack.

"GWAAAAAAAAARGH!" He roared in pain, as the Solar Power burned away at his very existence. It wasn't long before nothing remained of Gato except for a pile of ashes.

"Heh... Gotcha', bastard..." Naruto managed to say weakly. He was completely spent at this point, the stress of awakening and unleashing such a strong attack in the same day catching up to him. Closing his eyes as he began to fall, the blond silently waited for the fatal impact on the bridge.

Haku, who had caught sight of Naruto's aerial attack, noticed how high up the blonde was and quickly dispelled her weapons. Channeling more energy into her mantle, Haku forced it to shift into a pair of bat-like wings, before taking to the sky after the attack ended.

Rushing to the falling blond, the ice-bearing vampire was able to catch him once he was back within the mist. Naruto slowly opened his eyes in surprise when he felt a pair of delicate, yet strong arms catch him, and was even more surprised to see Haku smiling at him as they slowly descended to the ground below.

Back with Kakashi and Zabuza, the pair were just finishing up the last of the mercenaries, the battle having somehow turned into a competition to see who could take out the most. Kakashi was at 64, while Zabuza, thanks to the size of his Kubikiri Houchou, was at a whopping 88.

When the last mercenary fell to the ground dead, they both looked over in the direction of Gato, and were surprised to see a somewhat battered and rather tired Naruto being set down gently by Haku. Said blond then held up one hand to the sky the best he could in his fatigued state, and flared his remaining Solar Energy, causing a Solar-reinforced coffin to appear and close around Gato's ashes.

Once he was sure the remains were secure, and that everything was okay, the blond gave a grin to his Jounin-sensei, and a thumbs up... Before promptly collapsing and letting unconsciousness take him. This marked the beginning of a great adventure of Uzumaki Naruto... The new Solar Boy!

First Sun: "Awakening! Birth of the new Solar Boy!"... COMPLETE!

A/N: And cut! That wraps up the first chapter of Solar Fox! Now, for some info.

(1)-Naruto's new clothes: Basically, think of a recolor of Django's outfit, only without any sleeves.

(2)-The Dark Sun: This is NOT the same as the one from Disgaea! It's a plot device created for this fic.

With that said, I'll see you all next time I upload a chapter to this, Legacy Zero, or Omamori Naruto! Until then, Later!

P.S.: Magan no Naruto is NOT abandoned. I'm still working on chapter 4 for it, and it's coming along slowly but surely. Also, wanna' become a Beta-Reader and/or Co-writer for this story? Send me a PM, and we can discuss the possibility of that happening!
