Avid X-over (Naruto) Chapter 8 The Unexpected Twist

Disclaimer: I own nothing , this is purely a fanfic for enjoyment. Cross-over from various games , books and anime.

Zed's POV:

I seem to have given Kurenai-san the impression that I'm funny, I don't really know, maybe it is an inside joke?. Hmm, possibly, Maybe it's a hit and miss kind of thing. It's hard to be a comedian, since when did I become a comedian again?. Oh right, after Kurenai-san pointed out that I'm funny for having a sarcastic personality. Oh well, at least somebody's happy. I was pondering these thoughts while eating at a restaurant, Hours passed by and I think I saw Kurenai-san enter this establishment. She saw me, I hope she got that funnybone out of her system.

Kurenai: "Hello again zed-san."

Zed: "Hello Kurenai-san, how did it go?."

Kurenai: "Oh, it seems a hit, zed-san, only those who knows Guy-san and Lee can get the joke, and that is mostly all the villagers and ninja's in this village."

Zed: "Ahh, I see."

Kurenai: "By the way, I never did get the answer to the side-project of yours, let me guess, the hurdle was too high?. I would not blame you if you quit half-way to it." Kurenai said in a knowing voice.

Zed: "Actually I finished it ages ago."

Kurenai: "Really?, did it stop them from using the sunset no jutsu ever again?."

Zed: "Yes, but only whenever I'm around, The shock of my completed jutsu was effective, but they don't remember it to be permanent, they only get the feeling of dire consequences when they do it near me."

Kurenai: "How did they ended up like that?, What went wrong with it?, did it only suppress their instinct to do it near you since that jutsu is only associated to you?."

Zed: "Oh, they only seem to affect me, The jutsu was so effective that I put Guy and his team incapacitated. Guy, and Lee were hysterical or mentally unstable, while Neji and Tenten where put into a comma."

Kurenai: "Impossible!, that rumor was about you?, it only lasted 3 days for that rumor to stop as Guy's team was seen fit as a fiddle the very next day that rumor started, and the rumor became baseless and died shortly just as quick is it started."

Zed: "Hmm, Someone healed them apparently, with skills that rivals Tsunade. Who healed them though is up for debate."

Kurenai: "Ahh, but wait If you did that jutsu that could incapacitate a veteran Jonin and his team, It would definitely cause an international uproar, even if someone managed to do damage control by fixing Guy's team."

Zed: "Yes, your right about that, the hokage made another damage control method that could both salvage and turn around that whole fiasco."

Kurenai: "I'm curious, what did the hokage do?, and why do you know so much about it."

Zed: "I'm surprised you haven't noticed, The only other thing the Hokage could do, is to turn the said person into a ninja of the leaf village, therefore the strength that caused severe damage to a veteran jonin shinobi and his team, becomes the Villages Power that can inflict damage to potential enemy ninja teams, metaphorically speaking."

Kurenai: "Impossible, that would make you a ninja." said in a shocked voice.

Zed: "I'm shocked that you haven't notice my Hitae ite on my shoulder Kurenai-san."

Kurenai: "Gasp!!, your right, I was to busy laughing at your jokes, OMG!! we're those part of your secret weapon really?, it certainly was effective."

Zed: "No, that was me trying to strike a conversation with you, but as you have noticed, certain quirks of my teacher seems to have rubbed off on me. Be thankful, I did not follow their hairstyle and facial eyebrow sense of style, and especially those Mystical green spandex jumpsuit."

Kurenai: "Gasp!!, your right, I'm thankful that you only acquired their quirks that has a good side effects on you, especially that smile. God forbid you started wearing those green spandex jumpsuits too."

Zed: "Quite, I was barely able to avoid wearing that mystical object when Guy-sensei wanted to officially induct me to be his second apprentice."

Kurenai: "Luck seems to be on your side zed-san."

Zed: "Quite, with my other quirkiness I even gained a brother through a strange and convoluted means."

Kurenai: "I'm curious, in what way did you gain a brother?, what method."

Zed: "The answer is quite simple really, you girls do it to guys you like."

Kurenai: "You mean."

Zed: "Yes, through food."

Kurenai: "That is unusual, well, it has been nice talking with you zed-san, I hope we meet again soon."

Zed: "See you soon as well Kurenai-san, I have to go now, I have to prepare my house to receive my new brother who will live with me."

I headed home that night and prepared my house to receive a special household member. I woke up the next morning, did some light exercise, took a bath, and finally used my kagebunshin to prepare a feast for Naruto. I then heard a knock on the door.

Zed: "I'll be right there in a minute." opens the door.

Zed: "Why hello there Hokage-sama and Naruto, I'm glad you could make it. Come in, I made a feast just for this special occasion." Zed led the group inside the dining area.

Zed: "I'm assuming that hokage-sama is here about the land of Waves mission?."

Sarutobi: "Yes that's a part of it, another part of why I visited you here personally, is to congratulate you on your success as a comedian, God, I haven't laughed like that in ages, I almost died of laughter, first that jutsu, and now this, are you trying to kill me zed-san.?"

Naruto: "Nooo!, you can't die yet Jiji, not untill I take the Hokage position from you."

Everyone in the room sweatdropped.

Sarutobi: "Anyways, the main reason I'm here is to make sure that you were sincere to Naruto, and seing the preperations you made, I can only assume that what you said to Naruto was genuine."

Zed: "Hokage-sama, I assure you my actions are genuine towards my ototo, I can see that he deserves a chance of happiness, and I too wanted a family member."

Sarutobi: "I see, in that case there is something you must know. What I'm about to reveal to you is an S-rank village secret, punishable by death if you tell people without my permission and Naruto's consent. You see years ago our village was attacked by a biju, a biju is a being of mass chakra and harbingers of destruction. One of the biju that attacked our village is one of the strongest, the "Kyubi no Yoko". We lost half of our forces that day, and it weren't for the fourth hokage, this village would not be standing at all. He used a forbidden sealing technique that cost his life in exchange for summoning a death-god to seal the beast into a newborn baby, and that baby is Naruto Uzumaki............"

Zed: "????, was there some kind of reaction your waiting for Hokage-sama?. I know Naruto is a good kid and not some monster that your villagers portray him to be, You may or may not know this, but I started studying the art of sealing myself or fuinjutsu and I am an advanced practitioner of it, if I say so myself. I understand the difference between a scroll and the sealed kunai within the scroll are two different things."

Sarutobi: "I'm glad, You pass my test zed-san, If I thought that you were only using naruto for your own gains, I would have killed you on the spot."

Zed: "I would do the same too Hokage-sama, from what Naruto told me, You are one of his precious people he wants to protect, and one he considers family. Family always sticks together, and one does not let any harm to one's precious loved ones, and one must do all we can to insure the happiness of the person we want to protect, even if we dirty our hands." said with conviction.

Sarutobi: "Now that I know what your true intentions are, I heard from naruto that you wanted to be real blood brothers, and become real siblings."

Zed: "Yes, but one can only dream hokage-sama, one can only dream."

Sarutobi: "Well why don't I grant that dream for you."

Zed: "What!!??, please tell me your joking Hokage-sama."

Sarutobi: "I'm afraid not, you see, we of the Sarutobi clan have a really old ancient technique that lets people become real live relatives, Its called the blood adoption ritual."

Sarutobi: "The ritual literally makes the adopting recepients become related by

blood. Depending on how powerful the recipients are, the parties involved would share the physical appearance they change into, and also share their abilities in rare cases. Their names will also show up on the parties birth certificate."

Sarutobi: "So zed-san, Naruto-kun do you want to go with the ritual?."

Zed: "I would be honored Sarutobi-san."

Sarutobi: "How about you Naruto?."

Naruto: "Are you kidding me?, I'm all for it Jiji, Now I can have a real

nii-san datebayo!."

Sarutobi: "We will need an empty room with enough space for the ritual."

Zed: "Ahh, we can use one of the empty guest rooms."

We all went into the the guest room and prepared for the ritual. Sarutobi used some ink and brush to draw some complicated runes on the floor, He also cut Naruto's and my wrist to get some blood, and he started mixing them with questionable ingredients, and divided it in two cups. He gave one to each of us.

Sarutobi: "Now both of you stand in the middle of the circle, and when I say drink the cup , drink it simultaneously."

"Okay." Both Naruto and I said simultaneously.

Sarutobi: "Mumble, mumble, mumble, Oh God's above, May you bless these two souls who want to become a true family, May their journey bear fruit, and may your blessings bring them happiness,

Secret art: Blood Ritual no Jutsu!, now drink the cup."

We quickly drank the cup and the runes started glowing. Excruciating pain filled my body, I could feel my body transforming into something, deep level of pain overwhelmed my senses, and finally I passed out.

I woke up hours later feeling sore throughout my body, I noticed Naruto sitting in a chair near me with Sarutobi talking about something.

Zed: "I see you look the same Naruto, I'm sorry the ritual failed."

Naruto: "What are you talking about nii-san?, the ritual worked, here take a look at yourself." Naruto handed me a mirror.

I took a look at my reflection, and I see a person I don't recognize. My tame black hair became a spiky sunkist blond hair like naruto's, and my black eyes became cerulian blue like naruto's, My body still feels the same, except I seem to have more chakra.

Zed: "Wow I almost don't recognize myself."

Naruto: "You see nii-san, the ritual worked, now we really are brothers. I just wished I got something from you, I don't feel any different."

Zed: "Naruto, I want you to try something, I want you to gather as much chakra in your hand, and think of a person you want to heal or get better. Imagine yourself trying to heal, well, yourself, and say healing hand."

Naruto: "Well okay nii-san."

I can see Naruto trying to gather chakra in his hand.

Naruto: "Healing Hand!!."

Naruto was ingulfed in a bright white light, and as soon as it disappeared, his complexion was healthier now from our earlier debacle from the ritual.

Naruto: "I feel much better now, nii-san, what was that?."

Zed: "Well it seems some of my abilities got shared with you during the ritual, and finding out which ones will be a surprise."

Sarutobi: "That's great you two, you both got something from each

other."

Zed: "Thank you very much Sarutobi-san, can I ask you a favor?, can you put a privacy seal around this room, there's something I want to talk about with you two."

Sarutobi: "Your welcome Zed-san, and as for your request, its as good as done." makes hand seals for the privacy jutsu.

Zed: "Well, where to start, I come from another world, or a dimension similar to this one."

Sarutobi: "What!!??."

Naruto: "OMG!!, my nii-san's an Alien."

Zed: "Yes, I would probably fall into that category to some degree, but let me tell you where I am from. I came from a world where humans didn't have chakra, and people rely on technologies that it advanced to a frightening degree of development."

Naruto: "But nii-san, you have chakra."

Zed: "I'm getting there, You see our technology was so advance that we have carriages that don't need a horse to run, and we have giant metal birds that carry people across the country in a mere hours. Our greatest achievement was the creation of a World within a world. let me clarify this for you. We have created an artificial world where we people access it from our house. These artificial worlds are like the real ones with one exception. You can become someone else, and use a variety of abilities that seem limitless , just like your jutsu here. I was a very well known there, and you could say that I run my own village there, and quite successful at that. We survived countless attacks from many enemies, and we expanded our village that we became a famous city."

Naruto: "Wow! my nii-san's a kage!!." said in an awed voice.

Zed: "Why thank you Naruto, now where was I, Even though our abilities in this artificial world are great, we don't have that abilities in real life."

Zed: "One day when I fell asleep, I woke up in the outskirts of Konoha, and I seem to gained my abilities from that artificial world that carried over to this one along with chakra. One of those abilities is the one I just showed you."

Naruto: "Wow!! that means my nii-san is not just a super awesome Medic, but also great warrior."

Zed: "We'll not a warrior, but a strong magician."

Naruto: "Sugoi!!, my nii-san's a magician."

Zed: "That's just a term we use for people who rely more on jutsu's than taijutsu."

Sarutobi: "Ahh, I see, I assume one of these abilities was the one you used to ressurect the dead, and its not just a false revival, but a true revival without the use of a human sacrifice?."

Zed: "Why yes Hokage-sama , along with my other abilities that I have kept hidden, since such information can be deadly if it falls into enemy hands."

Sarutobi: "Ahh, so true zed-san, with that little show you did at the wave, many enemy shinobi would have heard of it right by now, and your bounty in the bingo book would make you an easy target."

Zed: "Oh, they are in for a surprise Hokage-sama. They only think that I'm a medic, and has no fighting repertoire of jutsu's that can harm them, but they are in for a nasty surprise."

Sarutobi: "That's reassuring Zed-san, I have to go now and let you two celebrate your new siblinghood."

Sarutobi: "See you soon Zed-san, or should I say, Zed Uzumaki."

The hokage quickly left with shunshin and went to his office. He pondered on the things that happened today and one thing came to his mind.

Sarutobi: "I'm too old for this shit!."

Meanwhile back at the New Uzumaki's house, both siblings can be seen eating the feast, and both fell asleep peacefully from having eaten too much food.

Zed never did notice a new pop-up in his window.
