Write an interesting, riveting, action-packed short story in the form of a crossover fanfic chapter between Naruto and ZETMAN, showing  how a pre-time skip Naruto Uzumaki could have become Shinji Kanzaki, the version of Shinji Ikari seen in the Evangelion doujin ZETMAN, after the Sasuke Retrieval Mission and escaping from Jiarya during the training trip.


After escaping from Jiarya and avoiding Konoha nin searching for him, Naruto fakes his death and sneaks on a ship headed towards the world outside the Elemental Nations. After the ship is destroyed during a strong storm, he is able to survive and is washed up on a beach near Tokyo-3.

Naruto, having grown up in the relative comfort of the Leaf Village and then in the bloody battlefields of war as a rouge nin after escaping Jiarya, is confused at first but quickly adjusts to his new environment. He becomes a master of hacking and gathering information, and also achieves a reputation in the underworld as a renowned vigilante under the name of the “Black Sweeper”.

Naruto takes the identity of a young boy around his age who had died in an accident and lives a normal life under his new identity, adjusting to life as a middle school student with ease.

But all of that changes when he is kidnapped by agents of Gendo Ikari, and subsequently forced to pilot the EVA Unit-01 as “Shinji Ikari”, the supposedly deceased son of Gendo, in order to slay the Angels.

Shinji/Naruto escapes after the defeat of the Angels and the subsequent fall of NERV, living a life of a ronin on the streets of Tokyo-3 and using his combat skills gained from his time as a rouge nin to take down bad guys and major criminal organizations while also helping those in need.

This continues until he saves a family from a burning building and is confronted by Mitsugai Amagi, the elderly founder of the Amagi Zaibatsu. Mitsugai knows the truth about Shinji’s origins, and wishes to help Naruto unlock his powers as the superhuman mutant ZET to defeat the monstrous Players, created by the desires of the Amagi Zaibatsu and NERV to play God.

With no choice, Shinji reluctantly agrees and becomes a mercenary of sorts for the Amagi Zaibatsu, taking down rouge Players and learning to master his abilities as ZET.

A way to make Naruto’s evolution into Kanzaki plausible within the world of the story, would be for Minato to be in a secret polyamorous relationship with both Kushina, who would be the de-facto to the Hyuga clan due to the Hyuga and Uzumaki clan being both descended from Hamura Otosuchi and Sasuke and Itachi’s mother Mikoto Uchiha.


This would make Minato Namikaze Itachi’s true father, although Fugaku would still be the father of Sasuke.


When it was discovered that Kushina was unable to produce eggs due to a genetic disorder, Mikoto offered up some of her eggs and Naruto was conceived by a combination of a tantric magical ritual and mad science that involved transferring Mikoto’s eggs into Kushina’s fallopian tubes.


Unknown to the Hokage or his two lovers, the organization that helped Kushina to become pregnant with Naruto was actually a division of NERV, which along with the Amagi Zaibatsu was seeking to create the perfect human through the NET project to pilot the EVA units and also to combat the monstrous Players that lurked in the shadows of Tokyo-3. Before Kushina had Mikoto’s eggs implanted into her, the eggs were altered so that any child conceived with them, would end up inheriting the power to transform into the superhuman mutant ZET.


This makes Naruto not only the son of Minato and Kushina, but of Mikoto and the Nine-Tailed Fox, as well as Lilith.


The Nine-Tailed Attack still happens and Minato and Kushina still sacrifice themselves to save baby Naruto and seal Kurama inside of him, but Naruto’s hair is black, not blond. He doesn’t have his whisker marks and nobody knows he has the Nine Tails sealed inside of him.


The story should end with Naruto/Shinji making his way to Kuoh after helping save his childhood friend, the shy green-eyed brunette Konoha Amagi and her older brother, the charismatic sliver haired and blue-eyed Kouga, who has become the armored hero of justice known as Alphas, from an attack on the Amagi conference room by the terror group EVOL, lead by the charismatic Seiji Haytani who wishes to destroy humanity and replace it with Players.


As he makes his way towards a hotel Naruto/Shinji stops, calling out a “old cripple” for “not sending his best”. Two ROOT agents rush out to attack him and Shinji obliterates them with a ki blast, getting into a kata as more ROOT agents and Leaf nin surround him.
