Comments: It may not update as fast as some others, but it's certainly one worth reading! Naruto does not encounter his friends from the canon universe, but James also includes other video game characters, mostly from other Final Fantasys and Soul Caliber. Different characters means different team assignments, which leads to getting Naruto teammates such as Hinata, Twem Llednar, and Riku years after the defeat of Xemnas, and Destiny Islands is destroyed by the Chasers. Plus, due to Naruto's 'roommates', he has different abilities, including able to control darkness, which in turn let's him use dark portals, and Organization XIII's powers when he combines with them.
