One Hell of a Crazy Whirlwind
A Fanfic by Erianne Du
This is my first ever Fanfic and I hope you guys enjoy this crazy tale about ninjas, pokemon trainers, mobile suit pilots, tennis players, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Basically it's just one hell of a crazy whirlwind. By the way, this story has two chapters so far and I hope I'll be able to make my third chapter soon.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the animes mentioned in the story.
CHAPTER 1
Once upon a time, there were three young friends who go by the names of Ash, Brock, and Misty. They were Pokémon trainers and as trainers, they had their Pokémons with them, namely Pikachu and Togepi while Brock's Pokémon was in his Poke-ball. They were hiking around a certain forest that had so many strange and incredibly large trees. They were awestruck at the sight of the forest ever since they entered it. The forest, unbeknownst to the three of them, is actually the Forest of Death in which the yearly chuunin exams in Konoha are held.
"Wow! This forest is so cool!" said Ash. "This would be such a great place to have a poke-battle!"
"Up until now, you still keep on thinking about poke-battles, Ash…" remarked Misty.
"Pika, pika!" cried Pikachu cheerfully.
"But we're Pokémon trainers! We are, therefore, obliged to think like this always, Misty!" admonished Ash.
"Well, here we go again…"sighed Brock.
And once again Misty and Ash started a really dumb and pathetic argument about how a real Pokémon trainer must act and so on and so forth.
-----------MEANWHILE--------------------
Team seven, which is composed of Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, and Haruno Sakura, were assigned by the great 3rd Hokage Sarutobi to clean up the mess that was recently made by a bunch of rowdy trespassers in the Forest of Death. As usual, Naruto was exceedingly pissed-off because of the once again 'lame` mission that they got.
"Damn this! Hokage no jii-chan must have a grudge against me or something!" complained the yellow haired and blue-eyed gennin as he picked up some trash and stuffed it into a sack.
"Will you shut up and stop whining just for one second Naruto!" said Sakura. She too was angry since she knew that girls shouldn't be in dark smelly forests, picking up trash, and cleaning up everything in sight.
'I couldn't agree more with Naruto. This is a forest for heaven's sake! It doesn't have to be cleaned!' thought the inner Sakura. 'But I have to just suck it up to impress my dear Sasuke-kun…' Sakura heaved a deep sigh.
"Hmph! If only that damned geezer would allow us to go to better missions than this, then I wouldn't have any reasons to complain!" replied an extremely pissed Naruto.
As Sakura continued on scolding Naruto for whining, Uchiha Sasuke was starting to get more pissed-off as compared to Naruto. He had better things to do rather than cleaning up some ultra-lame forest.
'At this rate, I'd be a damn fool to show my face to Itachi.' thought the infuriated Sasuke. 'Damn this! Instead of becoming a ninja who'll avenge my family, I'm becoming a lame and pitiful janitor…'
To add insult to injury, the constant clamor was driving him nuts and because of that, he has decided to create a distraction that would divert their attention from their noisy conversation.
Sasuke took a deep breath before he spoke words that he thought he would never utter.
"Hey, let's take a break for a while. It's quite obvious that the stress is getting to our heads…" announced Sasuke.
"That's an excellent idea, Sasuke-kun! You're so calm and level-headed unlike a certain idiot over there…" said Sakura.
" 'Let's take a break?!' I couldn't have heard a wimpier statement in my whole entire life!" said Naruto. "See, Sakura-chan. Sasuke isn't so great. He's just a stupid, loser-like----"
And in a flash Uzumaki Naruto was cut off by his most favorite sound in the whole entire world: the sound of an instant ramen cup-noodle being opened.
"Waaah! Ramen!" yelled a suddenly hungry Naruto. "Let's eat!"
"Stop screaming Naruto! Or else the only thing you'll be eating is blood from a soon-to-be cut from your lip, courtesy of my fist." said an incredibly irritated Sakura.
"Ye-yes Sakura-chan…"
So, due to the group's intense hunger and stress, they decided to begin eating.
"Ittadakimasu!" the three chorused.
And so, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura ate their ramens peacefully.
-----------MEANWHILE---------
Ash and Misty soon grew tired of squabbling. Fatigue as well as hunger had started to set in. Neither Ash nor Misty wanted to continue their arguing any longer. Not even Brock could speak a single word from too much exhaustion and hunger.
"Pika, pika…" said Pikachu in a weary tone.
"Yeah, I'm hungry and tired too, Pikachu…" said a very drained-out Ash.
"Ugh! I'm starving…" Brock who was usually the less likely to complain suddenly felt extremely hungry.
"Look, Togepi looks terrible!" exclaimed a worried Misty. And she was right by the way. Togepi was hardly bounding with any energy. Togepi was totally wasted as well.
As the three continued their hike, Pikachu stopped for a moment, sniffing the air as Ash and the other two continued their walking.
Realizing that Pikachu was no longer by his side, Ash stopped in his tracks. He then turned around to look for his little Pokémon and soon enough found him a few feet away, sniffing the air eagerly. He ran towards Pikachu, all the while wondering what the heck was wrong.
"What's the matter Pikachu?" asked Ash.
"Pika, pika…" replied Pikachu.
Soon after Pikachu's reply, Brock and Misty came running towards Ash and Pikachu.
"What's going on?" inquired Misty.
"Yeah, what's the hold up?" Brock asked as well.
"Pikachu said he can smell some food nearby…" said Ash.
"Oh really?!" asked both Misty and Brock. Immediately the two of them started imagining what kind of food Pikachu might have smelled. Then, soon enough, they too both started sniffing the air but unlike Pikachu, they were acting like a bunch of starved and equally crazed animals.
"Hey guys, just chill..." said Ash calmly. "Let's just follow Pikachu, okay."
"Okay" replied the other two in unison.
"Well Pikachu, lead the way." said Ash.
"Pika, pika!"
Finally Pikachu's voice held a cheerful and hopeful tone.
--------------MEANWHILE-----------------------
Team seven was having their peaceful ramen-moment under an old large tree. For those moments, not one person spoke a word. Naruto was busy slurping his ramen-noodles. Sasuke, on the other hand, was thinking of a good way to speed their errand up in order for him to have more time to train. Sakura was simply too tired as well as too dazed by Sasuke to speak.
It was pure tranquility amongst the three team seven members.
Suddenly, Sasuke's senses were disturbed.
'There are 3…no wait…4 people, coming this way' thought Sasuke.
Naruto and Sakura must have felt the presence of the 'intruders' as well since they had stopped eating ramen a long time ago. They too were trying to calculate how many people were coming this way.
'That's odd.' thought a confused Sakura. 'I can't seem to sense any chakra at all…but I know there are people coming this way…I can feel it'
"Well then!" announced Naruto in his usual annoyingly loud voice. "Since there might be ninjas coming this way, let's get into our battle for----" Sasuke had cut him off, putting his hand on Naruto's mouth and then dragging him to some nearby bushes. Sakura hid behind the bushes as well, awaiting the four mysterious ninjas.
Sasuke then heard a sound of slight shuffles of footsteps. Soon enough, the four ninjas had shown themselves, emerging from some bushes.
What Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura had seen somewhat bewildered them.
There were four of them. Each of them was wearing identical jackets as well as carrying some heavy-looking bags on their backs. There were three taller ones and one was quite short. Sasuke analyzed each of the intruders. He first focused his attention on the guy with a bizarre green towel on his head. He had a strange and scary face but Sasuke could not sense anything harmful about him. Next, Sasuke turned his attention to the tallest one with weird spiky hair. He appears intimidating because of his height but just like the first guy, Sasuke thought that this one was also as harmless as a mouse. Then Sasuke turned to the redhead with a piece of white bandage on his cheek.
Now, in the entirety of Sasuke's life, he knew that guys with bandages are always scary as well as dangerous. Even ninjas who don't have bandages but are still trying to cover something up are always the incredibly strong and destructive ones. Take for example their sensei, Kakashi. Examples of ridiculously strong and bandage-wearing ninjas are Rocklee and Rocklee's teammate Neji. That sound ninja Sasuke knew from the chuunin exams was also an incredibly dangerous fellow.
Bottom line: Sasuke doesn't trust people with bandages.
Anyway, Sasuke continued on examining the redhead, all the while trying as hard as he can to sense anything dangerous about him. But in the end the bandage-wearing redhead was once again extremely harmless.
"That's so weird…" said Sakura in a whisper. "They don't look like ninjas at all. They appear to be just passing by and what not…"
"Well, you know what I think?" intervened Naruto in a loud whisper. "I think that hiding in these stupid bushes is a wimpy tactic. Look at us! We're trained ninjas for ramen's sake and those guys over there don't at all seem dangerous to me!"
"Are you done blabbing stupidly again, Naruto?" asked an annoyed Sasuke. He continued his analyzing. He focused on the last member of the bunch which was the shortest one. He had on a cap and he was the only one among them who wore shorts. 'Well, he isn't exactly dangerous but he's intimidating enough…' thought Sasuke.
'Oh, look at the short one. He seems cute…' thought the inner Sakura. 'But no! I must be loyal to my dear Sasuke-kun!'
"That's it! I'm damn through with this cowardly strategy." And with that Naruto leaped out of the bushes with kunai in hand, poised and ready to attack. "Here comes Uzumaki Naruto from Konoha! I'm going to finish you all!" said Naruto, charging towards them.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" screamed the four intruders. "Ple-please spare us…" said the redhead in a trembled voice.
"Ye-yeah…we're just passing by. We're just really lost." said the tallest one.
Naruto stopped in his tracks and saw that the four of them were really harmless. The one with the green towel on his head looked like he was about to cry any second now. The redhead was uttering things under his breath, like he was praying or something. Meanwhile, the other two, the tall and short one, were asking each other frantically what the hell they should be doing.
"Momo-senpai! We're gonna die here now aren't we?! Wah! What the hell should we do?!" inquired the short one. But before the tall one could answer, he stopped short, hearing something else.
"Naruto!" The blonde-haired gennin turned around to see Sakura scolding him again as she walked towards him as Sasuke tagged along behind her. The two seemed relax, like nothing really happened. "What the hell are you doing?! We're a team! You shouldn't be doing something so dumb and reckless like that alone…"
"Gee, Sakura-chan. It seems that you're worried about me…" said Naruto, smiling sheepishly.
"Worried?! Na-ru-to…I'm gonna kill you!!!" and with that Sakura gave Naruto one of her famous punches, sending him flying across the area.
"No shit! That girl must be some kind of monster or something!" commented the taller one with the spiky hair.
"What the hell did you just say?!" Sakura asked.
Then the tall one suddenly regretted saying what he had just said earlier.
"Why you…!" And with that, Sakura was ready to punch him senseless as she started to charge towards him when suddenly, the tall one started to kneel down and started to, what appears to be, begging for his dear life.
"Please! Have mercy! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to offend you at all…!" begged the taller one, looking as if he was about to cry as Sakura continued to charge towards him. Realizing that maybe there was no more hope, he then turned to the shorter one.
"Echizen, if I die right here, right now, I want you to tell everyone to please remember me always…" said the tall one, his eyes almost brimming with tears.
"Momo-senpai…" the shorter one was almost crying as well.
"Momo! You can't die now!" said the redhead.
"You punk, don't say stuff like that!" uttered the one with the strange green towel on his head.
Then Sakura stopped charging. She put her fist down and looked at the pathetic sight in front of her.
"Wait a minute…" said Sakura. "Are you guys really ninjas?"
"Ninjas?!" said the four in unison.
"Yeah, ninjas…" said Naruto.
"They're not ninjas." proclaimed Sasuke.
"Of course we're not!" said the redhead. "I'm Kikumaru Eiji, a 15-year old junior high student from Seishun Gakuen also known as Seigaku." The redhead then turned around to let Naruto and the gang see the word 'Seigaku' that was written across his jacket.
"So, you're not ninjas?" asked Naruto.
"Don't you guys have any ears or anything?!" said the tall one in an exasperated tone. "We're just junior high students! I'm Momoshiro Takeshi. You can call me Momo by the way." Then he turned to the shorter one beside him. "This one here is Echizen Ryoma." Then he looked around for the fourth member of their group and soon enough spotted him in a somewhat fetal position by a nearby bush. "And that scaredy-cat over there is Kaido Kaoru. We're all from Seishun Gakuen."
"Seishun Gakuen? I've never heard of a village or a country like that before…" muttered Sakura.
"Yeah…and what's a junior high student? Is that the same as an academy student?" added Naruto.
"Seishun Gakuen is not a country or a village." said Eiji. "It's the name of a school that we go to."
"A school?" asked Sakura.
"Yeah, a school." replied Momo. "You guys look like you're about Echizen's age, so you must know what junior high is let alone a school."
"Is that 'junior high' thing a ranking like gennin or chuunin or something like that?" Naruto whispered to Sakura.
"I honestly have no idea, Naruto…" replied the equally confused Sakura.
Sasuke decided that things like that don't really matter. All he cared about was what the hell were these odd people doing around in a dangerous and off-limits property such as the Forest of Death.
"What are the four of you doing here in the first place?" asked Sasuke.
"We were supposed to have our training session." said the one named Kaido.
"Training session?" wondered Sasuke. 'So, they might be ninjas after all then…'
"Yeah. Its spring break so we're supposed to be using this time to train for the Kantou regional tennis tournament." replied Momo.
"What the hell is that?!" asked Naruto suddenly.
"Don't listen to him." said Sasuke. "Anyway, this is restricted property. You guys shouldn't be here unless you were permitted by the Hokage himself."
"The Hokage? Who's that?" asked Eiji.
"You mean you came here, not knowing at all that this is an off-limits area as well as not knowing who the heck the Hokage is?!" said Naruto.
"Umm...yes." replied Momo.
"What the hell?!" exclaimed Naruto. "You guys are seriously pulling my leg right now!"
"We're telling the truth!" said Momo. "Our coach, Ryuzaki-sensei, simply dropped us off in front a huge gate telling us that this is where we'll be training and that our other teammates were already waiting for us."
"Then she told us to go to the forest area of the place since that's where our other teammates would be waiting…" added Eiji.
"Then we wound up getting ourselves in this forest by entering the gate that read 'entrance'." said Echizen.
"A gate?" asked Sasuke.
"Wait a sec, was the gate already open when you arrived?" Sakura wondered. 'I asked Naruto to close and lock the gate…'
"Ye-yeah…" replied Eiji.
"NARUTO! You didn't close the damn gate like I asked you to, didn't you?!" asked the fuming Sakura.
"Well…" said Naruto.
"Damn you! You can't do anything right!" Sakura was once again ready to beat up Naruto but then Sasuke stopped them.
"Naruto, Sakura quit messing around!" admonished Sasuke.
"Yes…" said Naruto ad Sakura.
"Anyway, continue." said Sasuke, motioning to Echizen.
"As I was saying, we entered the gate then pretty soon we got lost and we've been lost for about two hours now." finished Echizen.
"So you guys really aren't ninjas who are just trying to act innocent and might attack us while we're not looking?" asked Naruto.
"NO! WE TOLD YOU BEFORE! WE ARE NOT NINJAS!!!" yelled the four irritated guys.
"Well, that's a relief…" said Sakura.
Then Sasuke suddenly remembered that there was still a chore to be done.
"Crap! Naruto, Sakura." said Sasuke. "We've wasted so much time already. Let's get this cleaning up done quickly before we might get scolded again."
"Wait, Sasuke! We still haven't introduced ourselves to them yet." said Naruto.
"That's not important anymo----"but of course Naruto, being the hardheaded ninja that he is, didn't listen to Sasuke and had started introducing himself.
"Nice to meet you all! I'm Uzumaki Naruto of Konoha. I love ramen and I dream of one day becoming the greatest ninja of all Konoha, the Hokage! I want to be Hokage so that people in this village will start respecting me." introduced Naruto with a wide grin.
'That guy looks like a mischief-making idiot…' thought Echizen Ryoma.
"I'm Haruno Sakura by the way." started Sakura. Then she turned to Sasuke. "And this is Uchiha Sasuke."
'The Sasuke guy looks dangerous…he kinda reminds me of someone…' thought Echizen.
"Hey, you guys have such funny outfits." exclaimed Eiji. "Also, what are those things that you have around your heads?"
"This is called a 'forehead protector'." said Naruto pointing to his head. "The leaf-like sign engraved in our forehead protectors tells people and other ninjas, both from Konoha and other villages, that we are Konoha ninjas." said Naruto.
"How about the outfits then?" inquired Momo.
"Oh, these are our ninja outfits." replied Naruto.
"I honestly don't think that a ninja should be wearing something in that kind of color…" remarked Echizen, referring to Naruto's orange apparel.
"You better watch your mouth! Don't you know guys like you get killed easily if you mess with a ninja?" said an infuriated Naruto.
"Don't provoke him Echizen." advised Momo.
"What's he gonna do?" said Echizen. Then he turned to look at Naruto. "I'd beg to differ actually, Momo-senpai…"
"That's it! I'll show you what we ninjas are capable of!" yelled Naruto.
"Naruto, stop messing around! Kakashi-sensei will be here soon!" scolded Sakura.
"Don't you worry Sakura-chan! We'll get this job done in no time." boasted Naruto. He turned to look at Echizen to make sure he was watching. He was watching all right.
'Now, let's clean this mess up!' thought Naruto.
And with that he did his hand signs.
"Tajuu Kage bunshin no jutsu!" he cried. And in a flash, hundreds of Narutos appeared, leaving Echizen, Momo, Eiji, and Kaido undoubtedly speechless.
"AMAZING!" cried Eiji.
"INCREDIBLE!" exclaimed Momo.
"WHAT THE…" Kaido was still speechless.
Naruto turned to look at Echizen's reaction. Seeing his jaw drop like that made Naruto give Echizen a smirk when he turned to face Naruto. But because of his huge ego, Echizen quickly tried acting as if making a hundred clones come out was the most normal thing in the world.
Out of the corner of his eye, Momo saw it all.
'Looks like you have a new friend, Echizen' he thought.
