Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. 1. Merry Christmas! Author's Note Thank you all for being supportive and giving me great ideas for different movie crossovers. As a thank you, I have finished my latest story, How to Train Your Dragon, and I hope you all enjoy. **Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! ! ! ! ! ! !** . . >. Side Note, you will notice that there is more How to Train Your Dragon than Naruto in this story. That it because I saw no real reason to change the movie that much. It was a great move and I didn't want to change it. But, for How To Train Your Dragon 2, I will add more Naruto elements to it when I start it. Thank you. I would also like to thank trebeh for being the beta for this story. 2. Dragon Rider Author's Note- I would like to thank Nick Tanico for he gave me ideas for this story. I am actually proud of myself at the fact that I'm doing these one-shot movie crossovers. To be honest, when I started and was in the middle of National Treasure I was worried because I wasn't able to finish it. But I got past that and now doing great with this, so thank you all for your support. For Naruto's appearance, go to DevientART and look up Assassins Creed-Shinobi. It should show a guy in white robes with two swords on his back. Just imagine the robes to be pitch black with the sashes being blood red and without the leather armour parts until later on. Also, Naruto will keep a few things in his robes, just roll with it and don't ask questions like how did it fit or something. jarein. deviantart art /Assassin-s-Creed-Shinobi-253723769 (Take away the spaces and it should be the first link. If you do find it, imagine it in black and without the weapons) Also, when Naruto say's "Toothless", I will start calling the Dragon that from then on. I would like to thank trebeh for being the Beta for this story. This was actually the first of my stories to actually have a Beta and it actually helped a lot more than I thought. Please read, like, and review. * * * >[Start] * * * >It was a dark and windy night as a village on an island slept peacefully. The ocean, surrounding the island, had waves crashing into it, not disturbing the residents of the island or the animals. On the island was a simple village with random animals walking about. _"This is Berk; I know it's not much to look at but it is home to everyone here. We like it even though it's always freezing and rarely gets any warm days. You could say my village is sturdy, but I would say strong, persistent, and in most cases, idiotic. It's all been here for seven generations, but every single building is new. There's not much to do here, to be honest. You could fish, hunt, or admire the view from the cliffs"_ The goats were still awake even though it was very early in the morning. Right now, they were eating the grass without a care in the world. _"The only problem are the pests"_ One of the goats was suddenly grabbed by a large flying creature. _"Most places have mice or mosquitoes, not us. We have..."_ Hearing screams, a teen no older than seventeen woke up. Sighing, he went down to the front door of his house and opened it, seeing a sight that is quite common. Looking, you could see people running around and animals running away from a large creature with wings. It saw the teen before spewing fire at him. Without even flinching, the teen shut the door and leaned against it with a bored look as the flames slammed into the door. Because it was made of wood though, the flames began to seep through the door, illuminating everything in the room including the teen. "Dragons" he said in a bored manner. The light revealed the teen to be a young man with spiky blond hair, tanned skin, and three whisker marks on each cheek. His deep blue eyes stared at the flames in slight interest, not bothered by it. He was wearing a thin black robe with leather greaves and a blood red sash that went around his waist. Reopening the door, the teen ran out and jogged throughout the village, seeing others attack the dragons. _"Most people would leave, but not us. We're Vikings. My name is Naruto, and before you ask, it means maelstrom, not fish cakes. Parents believe that hideous names will frighten off gnomes and trolls. In fact, my parents even tried to name me Hiccup. But it's not like our Viking demeanour would scare gnomes or trolls."_ An explosion knocked Naruto off his feet, sending him onto his back. A large man suddenly appeared and roared at him. "Morning!" he said before running to a random dragon. Getting up, Naruto continued to run in the direction he was headed in. Just as he got past the stairs, another Viking picked him up. This one was taller and bigger than the others and his presence demanded respect. "What is he doing out again?" asked the man, pointing to Naruto before looking him in the eye. "What are you doing out? Get inside!" he then threw Naruto away. _"That's Stoick the Vast. Chief of the tribe. They say that when he was just a baby, he popped a dragon's head clean off its shoulders. Do I believe it?"_ Stoick looked around and saw a dragon flying away with a goat. Picking a cart up with one hand, he threw it, showing his immense strength. The cart hit the dragon, making it drop the goat. _"Yes I do"_ "What have we got?" asked Stoick to one of his men. "Gronkles, Nadders, Zipplebacks. Oh, and Hoark saw a Monstrous Nightmare" the man listed, his muscles tense in case he needed to move. An explosion went off nearby, causing the man to raise his shield on instinct. Stoick listened to the Viking and nodded "Any Night Furies?" The man shook his head. "Good" he said, swiping off a piece of debris that fell on his shoulder. Massive torches were raised into the air, allowing everyone to see the dragons that were attacking. Naruto ran until he was finally at the blacksmith's. "Ah! Nice of you to join the party!" greeted another large man who had a braided moustache, hammering a sword. "I was starting to think you were carried off!" Putting on a leather apron, Naruto began to gather around the scattered, damaged, weapons. Smirking at what his friend said, he answered "Please, I would beat them before they knew what to do with me." "They need toothpicks don't they?" the man said in a rhetorical and teasing manner. Naruto just smiled as he began to use the forge to help fix the weapons. _"The meat head with the attitude and interchangeable hands is Gobber. I've been his apprentice for as long as I can remember but I think of him as more of an Uncle. Although I wouldn't admit it out loud of course"_ As he gave the final fixed weapon back to a Viking, Naruto saw a bunch of sixteen-year-olds run past, getting water to stop the fire that was spreading through the village. _"If you are wondering who the others are, then I'll tell you. They're names are Fishlegs, Snotlout. The twins are Ruffnut and Tuffnut. And finally, the other girl is Astrid. I've talked to them a few times, mainly because Snotlout is my cousin so he is family, even though he doesn't like me much, but they are all alright"_ The teens all threw their water into the flames, but that didn't make a difference. As soon as Astrid used her water, a dragon blew up the house, creating a small explosion that didn't seem to bother the girl. _"Even though they are just putting out fires, I'd rather join them so I can at least help more"_ Deciding he could do better outside than in the shop, Naruto tried to leave. Only for Gobber to grab him by his robe's hood and hoist him back into the shop. "Why can't I go out and make my mark?" asked Naruto in annoyance, knowing that this isn't the first time this has happened. "Well you've made a lot of marks, just in the wrong places," said Gobber. Naruto just gave his friend a deadpan stare. "And why can't I go out and help?" Using his good hand, Gobber started to list the reasons. "You can't lift a hammer, you can't use an axe, you can't even use one of these" he said, showing an iron ball connected to a short rope. A Viking from outside the shop took it from Gobber's hand threw it at a dragon, sending it crashing into the ground. "I can't see any use for using a hammer or axe. You just swing it around and hope to smash something." Sighing, Naruto went further back until he went to another contraption. "Well, I also made this so it could throw at a long distance." The second he touch it, it activated and threw an iron ball, hitting a Viking who passed the shop in the head and knocking him unconscious. "See, right there is what I'm talking about" Gobber sighed "If you ever want to get out there to fight dragons, then you need to stop...that" he said, gesturing to all of Naruto. "Really?" asked Naruto in a questioning tone "You just pointed to all of me" Gobber smiled, seeing that Naruto knew what he was talking about "Yes, that's it! Stop being all of you!" He then tossed Naruto a blunt sword. "You, sword, now." Naruto just grumbled as he took the sword and began to sharpen it against a grinder. _"There are many types of dragons out there, too many to name by memory. But you do remember some, like Gronkles, Nadders, Monstrous Nightmares. But there is one that all Vikings fear, one that never reveals itself. Those that have seen it have never lived to describe it. It is too quick for anyone, and too dangerous. It's called..."_ A sound was heard throughout the village, making everyone tense in fear. The second they heard it, they ran away. _"Night Fury"_ An explosion went off, making people shout out. Even Stoick was terrified but he hid it well as he led his people. _"No one has ever killed a Night Fury; that's why I'm going to be the first"_ Gobber quickly ran to the front of the Forge and changed his hammer to an axe. He looked at Naruto and said, "Stay. Put. There. You know what I mean." He then ran towards the battle, not noticing Naruto had a smirk on his face. Not long after Gobber left, Naruto was running through the village, avoiding the Vikings that neared him. He was pushing along the catapult he'd made and was intent on taking down the Night Fury. After a while he finally managed to reach a cliff that gave him the perfect spot to aim from. Setting up the catapult, Naruto waited and stared intently at the sky, waiting for a sign of the dragon. He waited for what seemed like hours, cursing slightly as the Night Fury was camouflaged into the night sky. Another sound was heard, showing that the Night Fury was preparing to attack. Suddenly, the defence tower that Naruto was near, exploded and a shadow of the Night Fury flew by for a split second. By accident, Naruto shot the iron ball and net, but it missed and must have frightened the dragon as he heard a loud screech and then a slam. Thanks to the flames, Naruto was able to see a dark dragon, moving under some rubble before flying off in an awkward manner. "I hit it?" muttered Naruto with wide eyes before grinning, "I hit it! Did anyone see that?!" As if answering his question, a dragon that Naruto knew was called a Monstrous Nightmare, climbed up the cliff. "Anyone but you!" * * * >-With Stoick- As the Viking Chief helped others hold down Nadders, he heard a familiar dragon's roar. Turning, he saw Naruto running and dodging the dragon's swipes with ease. Alarmed, Stoick shouted to his men "Do NOT let them escape!" before running to help Naruto. * * * >-With Naruto- "Who would have thought this would happen?!" muttered Naruto in annoyance as he continued to dodge the dragon's fire attacks. He took a sharp turn, making the dragon try and follow, only for it to slam into a wall. It quickly recovered and continued to chase after him though. Looking around, Naruto saw that the only shelter available was the last standing giant torch. Naruto turned and saw the dragon was preparing to attack with a lot of fire, so without wasting any more time he ran and hid behind the torch just as the dragon attacked. Seeing that it stopped, leaving only the torch on fire, Naruto peered round it, accidentally leaving his back open for attack. The dragon was about to attack from behind until Stoick suddenly appeared and stopped it in time. The dragon tried to attack but could not produce and flames, making it widen its eyes in fear. "You're all out" said Stoick as he began to repeatedly hit the dragon with his bare hands and strength alone. After a few hits, the dragon flew away, allowing Stoick to turn and look at Naruto. _"Oh, and there's one thing you should know..."_ "Hi, Dad" said Naruto with a sigh as he hung his head. He heard a massive crack and cringed when the torch behind him snapped and fell down, rolling throughout the village, unfortunately allowing some trapped dragons to be freed with goats and sheep. As if gloating, all the dragons flew by the Vikings with their catch, taunting them to try and attack. Unfortunately everyone ran out of weapons so they couldn't, and the dragons were flying too high. Everyone looked at Stoick wondering what he was going to do, especially when his own son caused the trapped creatures to escape. Stoick glared at his son, not in hate but in anger. He grabbed Naruto by his robe's hood and dragged him. "I'm sorry!" shouted Naruto, trying to get his father's attention, but nothing was working. "I know I messed up again, but I can do better!" "Enough!" shouted Stoick, tired of his son's excuses and promises. They stopped, with everyone watching. "Every time you step outside, disaster follows. Can you not see I have bigger problems? Winters almost here and I have an entire village to feed" he then sighed "Why can't you follow orders like everyone else?" "I don't want to be like everyone else," confessed Naruto "I want to be me. To prove that I can help, without killing dragons." Stoick just nodded with another sigh "You are many things, Naruto. And a dragon killer is not one of them." Stoick then looked at his friend, Gobber "Make sure he gets home, I have to go help everyone else rebuild the village." Gobber just nodded as he put a hand on Naruto's shoulder, making them both walk. The group of teens saw what happened and commented to Naruto as he passed, although Fishlegs didn't say anything because he was friends with Naruto. "Quite the performance" said Tuffnut with his twin sister laughing. Snotlout spoke next, happy that his cousin messed up big time. "I've never seen anyone mess up that badly! That helped!" he shouted the last part in sarcasm, making Naruto roll his eyes in annoyance. He looked at Astrid but she just glared at him, making Naruto sigh as he continued walking to his house. Neither he nor Gobber said anything as they walked. When they reached the house, Naruto just walked inside as the large man walked away to help the others. For a minute, Naruto just thought back to everything that happened and then remembered about the dragon he nearly hit _'It flew off into the forest quite slowly. And I'm pretty sure I heard a crash, but that might have been something else'_ He thought before shrugging. _'Still worth a look.' _With that last thought, Naruto went to the back of his house and left. But not before grabbing a knife that could be hidden in his robes and putting his hood up. Running straight into the woods, Naruto searched for what felt like hours, trying to find any proof that a dragon landed here. Looking at his notebook that he always kept hidden in his robes, Naruto scoured off another part of the forest that he was in. Sighing, he closed it. "I was wrong" he muttered "Just like every other thing I do and say." Suddenly, he stumbled a little as he tripped over a stone. He managed to get his footing but froze when he saw the trees in front of him; most were destroyed and toppled over onto the ground. There was even a long trench that he followed after a moment. He reached a hill and looked over, before ducking quickly as he saw a dragon laying on the ground. Taking out his knife, Naruto slowly climbed over the edge and approached the dragon, but looked confused as there were branches on top of it and he could clearly see some blood, showing that it was injured. Taking a moment to study it, Naruto noticed that it was not a dragon that he had ever seen before, making him realise that he had actually hit the Night Fury. This one had a small body, one that was obviously built for speed. It was completely black all over and the only colour he could see was the yellow eyes that were staring at him. Naruto didn't know what to do. On one hand, he could kill the dragon and prove to everyone that he killed one so they would finally accept him. On the other hand, he just didn't know. He was hesitating and the hand that was holding the knife was shaking. Both dragon and Naruto stared at each other before the dragon closed its eyes, seeming to accept its fate. It waited but nothing happened, confusing the Night Fury. Then, its eyes widened when it saw Naruto lift branches off of it and start to pull out the larger splinters. It did make a few noises because of the pain, but Naruto realised that it was trying to stay still for him to help. "I did this" it heard Naruto say "So that means I have to fix this." The second the last splinter was out, the Night Fury suddenly jumped and slammed Naruto into a boulder. The first thing Naruto thought he should do was stay perfectly still and not shake from fear. But he ignored that feeling as he stared into the dragon's eyes with his own glare, noticing that it seemed slightly surprised. It then breathed in, looking like it was preparing an attack so Naruto braced himself and almost prayed that he would make out of this alive. He was not prepared for it to roar at him though before jumping and trying to fly away. Naruto stayed there a few moments longer, processing what just happened. After a minute, he got up and took his knife that he accidentally dropped before putting it back into his robes. Once that was done, he got up and slowly walked back to the village before muttering in shock "The hell just happened?" A while later, Naruto stealthily approached his house. When he was younger he realised that he could hide from anyone but his father with ease for some reason. Right now he slowly eased the door open, hoping it didn't make a noise. Looking inside his home, he saw Stoick sitting in front of the fireplace, in deep thought. Trying to use this to his advantage, Naruto quietly closed the door and tiptoed to the stairs. He didn't even make it one step as his father said "Naruto" without even looking. _'How does he do that?!'_ thought Naruto with his right eye twitching in annoyance and a sweat drop appearing on the back of his head. "I need you talk to you" said the large man, making Naruto sigh. "I have to talk to you as well," said Naruto, taking a seat on the steps he was on. Both took a deep breath before talking at the same time: "I caught a dragon/I think it's time you learn/and let it go/to fight dragons" Naruto and Stoick spoke, respectively. "What?" they both said again. Shaking his head, Stoick said, "You go first, son" Naruto shook his head. "No, you go first. It's probably more important than what I have to say," he said before thinking _'Not what's more important than freeing a Night Fury.'_ "Alright" said Stoick with a sigh, trying to think of the right words "I've talked to Gobber and you will be starting dragon training, first thing in the morning." Widening his eyes at that, Naruto quickly said, "I should have gone first. Dad, you know I don't want to fight dragons." "But you'll learn" said Stoick with a smile, already imagining his son killing a dragon in a glorious manner. He then reached over his side and picked up an axe. "You'll need this" he said, handing it to Naruto, who was not use to the weight "When you carry this axe, you carry all of us with you. Which means you walk like us, talk like us, and think like us." He then gestured to all of Naruto "None of this." "What is it with people doing that?" muttered Naruto. "Deal?" asked Stoick in a stern manner. Naruto tried to think of an excuse but could not come up with one. "Deal?" he said again but in more of a demanding manner. Sighing, Naruto realised that he had no choice. "Deal" he said with a frown, which Stoick didn't see. Satisfied with the answer, Stoick smiled. "Good." He then put on his helmet and picked up a duffel bag "Train hard, I'll be back. Probably." "And I'll be here, hopefully" muttered Naruto as Stoick left. * * * >-The Next Morning- Because it was winter, everything froze over due to the decrease in temperature. But no one seemed to mind as they were used to it. Gobber and the group of teens stood in front of a cage as he opened it. "Welcome to dragon Training" he said, noticing that everyone had some type of weapon with them. Astrid stepped forward first, excited for the training. "This is it" she said to herself "No turning back." The cage was built to help train new recruits on how to slay dragons and protect themselves. There were multiple doors that held different kinds of dragons, each used for the training. "I hope I get some serious burns," said Tuffnut with a grin. His twin had her own words "I hope to get some mauling. Like on my shoulder or lower back." "Yeah" agreed Astrid with a sigh as she looked around "It's only fun if you get a scar out of it." "What is wrong with you people?" said Naruto, getting everyone's attention, as they didn't know he was there. He walked forward still carrying the axe but with one hand as it stayed on his shoulder. "Were not here to get injured." Before anyone could say anything, Gobber began to speak "Let's get started! The recruit that does best will win the honour of killing their first dragon in front of the whole village" "That's clearly going to be me" gloated Snotlout before pointing his mace at Naruto. "But he doesn't want to kill a dragon, so does that disqualify him or something?" he asked, getting laughs from the twins, an unsure look from Fishlegs, and a head shake from Astrid. Naruto sighed, already regretting this. Gobber walked up behind him and put a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry. You're not as strong or big as the others. That will make you less of a target. They'll probably see you as sick or insane, and go after the more Viking-like teens." He then pushed the smaller blond forward, making everyone get in a line. Roars and bellows were heard coming from the massive doors. "Behind these doors, are just a few of the many species that you will have to fight. The Deadly Nadder" he said, indicating to a door. Fishlegs, who was practically bouncing with excitement, said, "Speed eight. Armour sixteen." "The Hideous Zippleback," continued Gobber. "Plus eleven stealth, times two," said Fishlegs, a little louder. "The Monstrous Nightmare," "Firepower fifteen!" "The Terrible Terror," "Attack eight, venom twelve!" Having enough of Fishlegs, Gobber shouted, "Can you stop that?!" Sighing, he went up to the final door "And...the Gronkle" he put his hand on the lever. Fishlegs hesitated before whispering to Naruto "Jaw strength, eight", who just nodded actually finding this information useful. Snotlout saw what Gobber was doing and stepped forward. "Whoa, whoa, what are you doing? Aren't you going to teach us first?!" Smiling at the reaction that he was hoping for, Gobber spoke "I believe in learning on the job." He then pushed the lever down, making the barricade, which was holding the door shut, move out the way. The doors were suddenly slammed open as a Gronkle flew past it. "Today is all about survival." Everyone dove out of the way as the Gronkle flew past them. "If you get blasted, you're dead. Quick, what's the first thing you're going to need?" Astrid shouted out first, with a smirk. "A shield" she stated, knowing it was right. "Shields, go! Your most important piece of equipment is your shield. If you have to make a choice between a sword and a shield, go for the shield!" shouted Gobber, making everyone run to a shield. Unfortunately Ruffnut and Tuffnut argued over one before the Gronkle destroyed the shield with a fire attack. "Tuffnut, Ruffnut, you're both out." "What?" they both asked in a daze before walking to Gobber. "Those shields are good for another thing. Noise, make lots of it to throw off a dragons aim" advised Gobber, making everyone but the twins start to hit their shield to distract the dragon "All dragons have a limited number of shots. How many does a Gronkle have?" "Five?" shouted Snotlout. "No six!" shouted Fishlegs as he raised his shield in the air, which caused the dragon to aim for it. Gobber laughed, although no one heard it "Correct six! That's one for each of you! Fishlegs, you're out!" Astrid kept her eyes on the Gronkle, but Snotlout's constant failed attempt at hitting on her was slightly distracting. "So anyway, I'm moving into my parent's basement. You should come by sometime to workout. You look like you work out." Just as he finished his sentence, the Gronkle attacked. Seeing that it was headed her way, Astrid cart wheeled out of the way, making the attack hit Snotlout's shield. "Snotlout, you're done!" shouted Gobber, enjoying this.
