The Leaf Ghostbusters
A/N: Due to watching the trailer of that atrocity remake Chaossonic1 showed me. *shudder* He suggested this idea and I agreed. I don't know if anyone made a Naruto X Ghostbusters crossover. But I am happy to make one just for the fun of it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Ghostbusters.
Konoha, the village hidden in the dense forests of the Land of Fire, mostly populated by ninjas like the other elemental countries of the Shinobi Nations. However, there is a problem with Konoha, it's not the decimation of ninjas from the Kyuubi attack 16 years or the Massacre of the famed Uchiha Clan. It's not even the secret organisation on an insane quest for world domination.
The main problem Konoha have are ghosts.
When the Kyuubi attack and sealed away by the Hokage, these Ghosts are haunting various places, scaring them and tormenting them. The fear and anger is placed on one teenager who they believed is the source of these ghost attacks: Naruto Uzumaki. But Naruto doesn't give a shit what these idiots think, but the ghosts are an issue and he can't have those spectres have their way at those villagers, even if they are complete twats to them. So Naruto made a new revaluation, to get rid of all those ghosts before even becoming Hokage.
But he can't do this alone. He needs a plan. This is how he becomes… a Ghostbuster.
Chapter 1: I'm afraid of no (Librarian) Ghost
Konoha: Library
It is late in the evening, the Konoha library is getting sorted by the Chunnin since the librarian was found dead last night, crushed by a bookself (it wasn't pretty). The Chunnin grumbles as he has to put the books away in the right sections and in alphabetical order. The mission logs in chronological order and deal with *shudder* paperwork.
"I think that old witch died on purpose" said the Chunnin muttering in anger. "Too convenient of her to get crushed by that loose bookshelf. Too convenient, but at least I won't get hushed every time I speak."
"SSSSSHHHHH!"
That caused the Chunnin to drop a book when he heard an echoing hush.
"Ok that was creepy, it almost sounds like she's here" said the Chunnin until he bursts laughing. "HA HA HA HA, YEAH RIGHT!"
Suddenly the books shoot out from the bookshelves. This startled the Chunnin and he draw out a kunai. "Who's there?! Show yourself"
Suddenly a flash of light appears, nearly blinding the Chunnin until he corrects his eyesight to see that just appeared. But what he saw, he suddenly screamed in pure terror.
"AAAAAGGGGHHHH!"
Hokage Tower
"AAAGGHHH, COME ON!" exclaimed Naruto when he, Shikamaru and Kiba are all gathered to the Hokage Tower. This morning he was given a mission to retrieve Sasuke Uchiha who defected to Orochimaru. Choji and Neji are in critical condition and only Naruto, Shikamaru, Kiba had a few broken bones, bruises and cuts, but nothing life-threatening. "You've gotta be kidding me!"
"I wish I was, Naruto" said Tsunade regrettably. "But the bastard council overruled me and voted (behind my back) that you, Kiba Inuzuka and Shikamaru Nara are no longer ninja anymore."
"Why?" said Naruto "We brought the bastard, didn't we?"
"True you did bring the traitor back, but you know them council members" said Tsunade. "They'll find an excuse to get you fire, exiled or worse, executed"
"Now hang on, I understand Naruto" said Kiba, gaining a hateful glare from Naruto. "But why us?"
"The mission was given by a team made by Shikamaru" said Tsunade "and unfortunately the whole team are no longer shinobi."
"So Choji and Neji are also fired?" said Shikamaru
"I'm a afraid so" said Tsunade, "gentlemen, your hitai-ates please"
"Oh man, this is so troublesome" said Shikamaru as he takes off his flak jacket and hitai-ate around his arm. "I knew it's too good to be true"
"Damn it!" cursed Kiba as he takes off his Hitai-ate and slams it on the desk.
Naruto frowned as he reluctantly unties his Hitai-ate and looks at it. He sighs as Iruka gave this to him, to him it's a sign of his dream, his goal to become Hokage. He lowered his eyes and placed his discarded Hitai-ate on the desk.
"From this moment, all jutsu scrolls, weapons and tools are hear by forbidden to be purchased by you 3. You are branded as Ronin, a title that a ninja would rather die than take. With this title, you cannot retake the ninja training and come back as a ninja. Now go"
Kiba growled and turned away in anger, Shikamaru sighed lazily but sadly as he turns to leave. But Naruto is distraught, his dreams is shattered when he stares at his discarded Hitai-ate, it is like staring at his own beating heart and ripped it out for display. Naruto leaves the office in silence, Tsunade feels guilt and regret in doing this and wished she can do anything to make Naruto a ninja again. But the branding as Ronin is an ancient but official punishment made by the Shodai Hokage. Hashirama first used it on Madara Uchiha after defeating him.
Many ex-ninja who were branded as Ronin commit suicide to escape the shame and dishonour to their family. Tsunade fears on what Naruto will do now that he's a Ronin.
With Naruto
Naruto silently walks in the streets of Konoha at night, he succeeds in a mission and the thanks he gets is the execution of his career and eternal dishonour as a Ronin. He learned about Ronin in the career and about their fate, he laughs dishearten at it. His personal life before being a ninja is much worse than what those Ronin suffered. But he's not gonna let it get to him.
Beep
Suddenly something beeped in Naruto's jacket and pulls out a small black gizmo with a flashing red light.
"*sigh* Perfect" muttered Naruto irritably when he frowns and heads for his apartment.
Naruto's apartment
Naruto ran as fast as he can to his apartment to see his apartment getting wrecked by a Ghost. This ghost is of a dead and really pissed off Konoha ninja, probably died in the Kyuubi attack and is here to haunt Naruto as vengeance for his death. But Naruto is not having any of this as he walks to the closet to get something that will deal with this unwelcomed guest.
What Naruto pulled out is a small blaster pack, modified with fire Chakra, but just chakra, the Kyuubi's chakra. He loads it with a power cell filled with 1 tail's worth of chakra. Then he takes out a metal orange metal disk that looks like a turtle's shell. (1)
"Like I said to those other ghosts, you're busted" said Naruto cocking his blaster and aims at the ghosts.
He fires a stream of red chakra that waves and swirls like a fox's tail. The ghost dodges and screams angrily at Naruto, the Ghost fights back by tossing stuff at Naruto. But Naruto dodges the stuff and tries to catch the ghost with the chakra stream. The stream binds the ghosts but it tries to struggle to get free. But Naruto reels it in like a fish while he turns on the disk with his foot to suck it in. the struggling takes minutes before finally the ghost is trapped in the disk.
"Gotcha" said Naruto the now steaming disk, which is a Ghost trap.
"You're running out of chakra in those power cells, Kit" said Kit "You need to refill them"
"Yeah I know; them bastards are resilient" said Naruto as he heads for the refrigerator to get something to eat. But the moment he opens the fridge, a Hell Hound roared "Zuul!" pop it's head out and tried to bite Naruto's head off but he closed it shut. "Looks like Ramen again"
Later at Ichiraku Ramen
He heads Ichiraku Ramen, there he is welcomed by Teuchi and Ayame Ichiraku. He slightly smiles while he sits on his usual spot and orders the usual. Then suddenly Kiba and Shikamaru enters with suitcases and also sat next to Naruto.
"Got kicked out?" said Naruto.
"How did you guess" said Kiba sarcastically before he turns to Teuchi "I'll have a Pork Ramen and your strongest Sake you've got"
"Just a miso ramen please" said Shikamaru when his lifts up his suitcase and opens it. He takes out a strange device, Naruto saw this and gaped in awe.
"Is that a P.K.E meter?" said Naruto
"Hai, I see you have an interest in the supernatural" said Shikamaru, "it's one of my hobbies, apart from cloud watching and napping."
"Well having a demon sealed up in me does peak my interest in ghosts, plus I use to live in a haunted apartment. The toilet keeps asking me if I want either blue or red toilet paper. My bathroom is getting licked clean by a dirty looking ghost and I have a Hell Hound living in my fridge.
"Wait, what?" said Kiba when he heard about the Hell Hound in a fridge.
"You have ghosts in your apartment?" said Shikamaru with slight interest.
"Yep, mostly they're spirits of the pissed off dead from the Kyuubi incident." said Naruto "Typical, even the dead hates me."
"How unfortunate for you" said Kiba still in a moody sarcastic way.
"How did you manage to get rid of the ghosts?" said Shikamaru "Not even monks or exorcists can manage that.
"They don't like the Kyuubi's Chakra, so I did some tinkering to help me use the Kyuubi's chakra. It and I made peace if it involves stopping ghosts, he can't sleep with them around."
"Who doesn't?" said Kiba "but what does that matter anyway, we're not ninjas anymore"
"But we can get new jobs, 3 us can for together and hunt ghosts" said Naruto. "I've got the equipment to do it, I only use it in case more ghosts haunt the place again"
"I reduce myself to be pest control for ghosts?" said Kiba "I rather commit Harakiri."
Naruto and Shikamaru rolled his eyes, the 2 continued talking.
"So what do you say, Shikamaru?" said Naruto
"Meh, why not?" said Shikamaru "What can go wrong?"
"Cool, we'll talk to Neji and Choji to see if they're interested too" said Naruto before he turns to his Ramen. "But first, Ramen time"
Now Kiba and Shikamaru rolled their eyes and eat their Ramen.
Suddenly a Chunnin, who looked terrified, his hair stick out and white from fright and his skin pale like a ghost enters the Ramen shop and crash his face on the counter.
"Your strongest Ramen please, and leave the bottle" said the scared.
Shikamaru's P.K.E meter beeps wildly when the Chunnin arrives, the Nara boy decides to scan the Chunnin and sees the readings are out the roof.
"Did you see something unnatural?" said Shikamaru
"Hell yeah I did" said the Chunnin "You remember that old librarian"
"You mean that miserable old bitch who kick you out for even coughing in the library, even if you're just quietly reading?" said Naruto
"Yeah, but you wouldn't believe this but her ghost haunts the library in the Jutsu section. It's fucking scary, I'd rather chase Tora for a life time than deal with that shit."
The Chunnin just drank his fears away and cares nothing else after that, Naruto and Shikamaru looked at each other, the Nara kid sighed despite being interested himself, he curse his lazy persona and also at his paranormal interests.
"you wanna go check it out, right?" said Shikamaru
"Well duh, a ghost in a library is an awesome opportunity" said Naruto "Plus I want some payback on that bitch for kicking me out for even learning some training techniques during my academy years, Dattebayo!"
"You wanna come too, Kiba?" said Shikamaru
Kiba sighed when he finished his bowl of ramen.
"I might as well, I've got nothing else to do now I'm homeless and out of the job" said Kiba "I'm might die if I'm lucky"
"Oh don't be so dramatic, dog breath" said Naruto "It might be fun"
"Fun for you, Mr. Ghostbuster" said Kiba sarcastically
"Ghostbuster…I like that name for my new career" said Naruto "I was thinking of something like spooky ass kicker or Spirit banisher"
"Those are fucking crap names, Baka" said Kiba "Boy do I feel sorry for your children when you name them"
"Oh ha ha, now shut up and let's go" said Naruto as he puts on his Chakra Ghost Blaster and his old green goggles on. "Let's bust some ghosts"
Konoha Library
Naruto, Shikamaru and Kiba snuck in the library, their ninja training is no waste for them as they infiltrated the locked building.
Alright we're in" said Naruto as he pulls out 2 scrolls and give each to Kiba and Shikamaru. "Here, you 2 might want to arm yourself for this"
Kiba and Shikamaru opened the scroll which each contain their own Chakra Ghost Blaster pack. They strap the pack over their shoulders and turn them on.
"OK, before we do this, some safety tips" said Naruto "Don't use the blaster for over 10 minutes as it over heats. If you do, the blasters won't work until the system cools down for 5 minutes."
"Anything else?" said Shikamaru
"Don't cross the streams, the energy that power these is pure Demonic Chakra and crossing the streams will cause catastrophic results."
"Like what?" said Kiba
"Boom, bye bye us" said Naruto
"So let me get this straight, you're telling me that you've given us weapons power the Kyuubi itself and crossing the power streams will cause BLOW UP!"
"And everything in a 10 metre radius" said Naruto
"And how do you know this?" said Shikamaru
"Kyuubi told me" said Naruto
"You're gonna trust a demonic beast that killed about THOUSANDS of lives if not millions of life in it's eternal lifetime." Said Kiba "Trust the thing which is the source of everyone's hatred of you"
"So you hate for containing the Kyuubi?" said Naruto frowning at Kiba
"No, I hate you for other reasons, first you humiliated me in that preliminary round, second you just piss me off and last is for being a fucking BAKA!" exclaimed Kiba
"Quiet!" whispered Shikamaru harshly as he saw a purple glow coming from the History Section of the Library. "I think she's here"
"Let's go" said Naruto cocking his blaster. "Follow my lead"
"Grr, what a fucking Baka" growled Kiba as he and Shikamaru follows Naruto to the History Section.
History Section
Naruto Kiba and Shikamaru quietly enters the History Section and split up to search for the Ghost haunting the section. Shikamaru uses his P.K.E meter to scan for Psycho-kinetic energy, the source of energy of Ghosts.
"Shikamaru, look at this" said Naruto calling for the Nara teen as he sees an extremely high stack of books and a 9-foot-high pyramid of scrolls.
"She's been here alright, I'm getting a moderate reading" said Shikamaru as he got a moderate reading from his P.K.E meter when scanning the stack of books and the Scroll pyramid.
"Hey guys, I found her!" said Kiba in a whispering tone.
Naruto and Shikamaru rushes to Kiba and they also see the Ghost, it is the Ghost of the Librarian that died last night from a loose bookshelf that fell on her. She is glowing purple and see through. She doesn't seem to notice the 3 Ronin and appears to be reading.
"There she is, the Ghost of that bitch Librarian" said Naruto
"Why is she reading?" said Kiba
"Must be the last moment she did before her demise" said Shikamaru "She is kind of a bookworm"
"So shall we blast her?" said Naruto
"Hold on, Naruto" said Shikamaru "I don't think it's nessecary to use the Ghost blasters. Maybe we can communicate with her"
"C-Comuni… are you fucking mad, I dealt with these ghosts back when I was 13 years old, and neither have tried to commute with me"
"That's because those ghosts blame you for their deaths because of the Kyuubi incident" said Kiba
"Fuck you Kiba, and I'm not just talking about vengeful spirits, I'm talking about unnatural ones like Yokai, elementals and poltergeists." Said Naruto "I'd say her blast and trap her"
"She'll only be hostile to you because of… obvious reasons, but let me try" said Shikamaru. "It'll untrack unwanted attention, trust me on this"
"Grr, fine" said Naruto as he stands back and allows Shikamaru to try and communicate for the Ghost.
"*Sigh* Troublesome" muttered Shikamaru before he slowly approaches the Librarian Ghost. "Hello, I am Shikamaru Nara, ex member of the Nara and Ex-Chunnin."
"Shhh" shushed the Ghost
"Okay, I tried" said Shikamaru lazily as he aims his blaster at the Ghost.
"Not surprised there" said Naruto aiming his blaster at the Ghost. "Ready Kiba"
"Might as well, better die in battle against a ghost than live in shame as a Ronin" said Kiba
"Or survive with glory from such a battle" said Naruto "Now, GET HERE!"
"Rah!" roared Shikamaru and Kiba as they charge at the Librarian Ghost. Said Ghost saw this and got aggressive by transforming into a hideous spectre, her eyes are now hollow, her teeth crocked and sharp and her hair long and wild. "Whoa!"
"Don't worry, they do turn ugly if their aggressive, now blast her!" said Naruto firing a stream of Kyuubi's chakra at the Ghost. Kiba and Shikamaru join. "Remember, don't cross the streams!"
"Right" said Shikamaru and Kiba as they aim carefully at the Ghost and bind it with each of the chakra streams. The Ghost hovers viciously and angrily at the 3 humans that she starts tossing books and tipping bookselves to get free and scare them off.
"Keep her steady, I'm deploying the trap" said Naruto as he reaches for the Ghost trap and slides it underneath the Ghost. "Ready, deploying…now!"
Naruto activates the trap and it slowly suck the ghost in, Shikamaru and Kiba help Naruto keep the Ghost in the spot while the trap sucks her in like a whirlpool. After the struggling, the Ghost is now sucked in and caught in the trap. The trap seeps out ectoplasmic vapours while Naruto pulls it back to him and lifts it.
"Oh yeah, we bag ourselves a ghost. High five" said Naruto hoisting his hand in a high five.
Shikamaru and Kiba high fived Naruto and each other.
"We came" said Naruto
"We saw" said Shikamaru
And we kicked" said Kiba
"Ghost Ass!" yelled each other.
Suddenly a squad of ANBU barges though the windows and surrounds Naruto, Shikamaru and Kiba. The 3 turn to see themselves surrounded and raise their hands to show their surrender.
"Naruto Uzumaki, Shikamaru Nara, Kiba Inuzuka" said the ANBU squad Captain. "By order of the Shinobi Council, you are under arrest for breaking and entering a restricted area and vandalizing sacred historic archives of Konoha's History."
"Oh shit" said Naruto and Kiba, Shikamaru only muttered "Troublesome"
Next on the Leaf Ghostbusters
Naruto, Shikamaru and Kiba stands in the Konoha council room at the defendant's podium to be judged for their recent crimes. Their judge is none other than Danzo.
"Naruto Uzumaki, due to you being the ringleader of these crimes, how do you plead?" said Danzo
"Not Guilty" said Naruto
"Then what are these weapons you wield to destroy the Library?" said Danzo
"Not weapons, sir" said Naruto "They are tools to catch and trap Ghosts, the Library is infested with one and I caught it"
"Ghosts, you actually think I would believe such nonsense" said Danzo "Ghosts are nothing but superstitious nonsense for superstitious fools"
"Then that makes you the fool for believe me as a demon for having it sealed in me"
What Naruto said caused the Council to exclaim in anger but Danzo slams his gavel.
"ORDER, ORDER IN THE COURT!" yelled Danzo
Splat
Naruto noticed a splatting sound and look up to see the ceiling with a crack and pink slime seeping through and dripping behind the council. Naruto frowned as he knows what that pink slime is.
"Oh no" said Naruto in silence.
