Chapter 1: New Mission

Naruto had been back at Konoha Leaf Village for a week now and he was beginning to feel restless. He was impatient to go on another mission. After his training with Jiraiya and becoming a sage, he had began to take more missions hoping it would make the village accept him more. Needless to say, he had no such luck and began taking missions just to get away from the village. When Naruto finally got Sasuke to come back to the village everyone doted on him to make sure he wouldn't leave again, especially Sakura.

Whenever he went to look for Sakura, she was always with Sasuke and telling him to leave them alone. The only thing that kept him sane were his friends and Grandma Tsunade. It took a while but eventually he became friends with Neji, Shikamaru, Kiba, Hinata, Shino, TenTen, and Lee. He hung out with them every once in a while, but he was mostly always on missions and didn't spend much time with them. He was also friends with Gaara, but with him being the Kazekage and all Naruto only talked to him through messages.

Naruto was in his room laying on the bed hoping for anything, anything at all to happen. He shifted when he heard something land on his window ledge. He jumped off the bed and opened it to let the bird in. When he took the scroll the bird left. It was a summons from the fifth hokage. He immediately jumped out the window and headed to the Grandma Tsunade's office.

----------------------- POV change: Tsunade-----------------------

Tsunade sat behind her desk slowly sipping her sake. She had sent a notice out to eight of her shinobi for a very special mission that had just arrived not to long ago. She knew Naruto would be the first to arrive, just because he wanted to leave the village more. You would think that the stronger he got the more the village would accept him but no it was the exact opposite. She knew Naruto was lonely, Sakura and Sasuke weren't really talking to him and Kakashi was away on a two year mission. She hoped that this mission and spending some time with his friends would liven him up a bit. She was interupted from her thoughts when Naruto walked through the door followed by Neji, TenTen, Lee, Hinata, Kiba, Shikamaru, and Shino walked through her door.

They stood around the room and waited for the hokage to brief them on the mission. "I will let you know now that if you choose to go on this mission it will be a long term mission. You would not be allowed to come back for several years." Nobody said anything so she continued. "You would be going to another world all together. The world don't have shinobi so you would not be able to use all of your abilities, at least not in front of others. These people battle with animals they call pokemon. Now your probably wondering how, right? Well, these pokemon can use the elements and other such things to battle, it's actually quite interesting. Anyway when you go there you will gather pokemon and battle to reach the top. Now your probably wondering what this has to do with the mission, well one of the pokemon masters there named Ash Ketchum found out that someone was trying to destroy them and all the pokemon on their world and knows that he can't do this by himself, so he asked for help from us. Also, if you rise to the top of the ladder in your field then you'll be more helpful to him and jis friends that way."

"So basically we go train with our pokemon in whatever feild we're given to beat a group of terrorists or something or nother; and to do that we need to go to the top of said feild, right?" Naruto said calmly. Tsunade nodded not believing in how much Naruto had grown in the past seveal years. "Ok then, I'm ready.", he said as the others nodded their head in agreement.

"Ok then, there are four things you can be in the pokemon world: a trainer, a breeder, a handler, and a coordinator. Naruto and Lee will be trainers, Shino and Kiba will be breeders, Shikamaru and Neji will be handlers, and Hinata and TenTen will be coordinators. Pack for several years stay and be back in two hours to leave. I will give you scrolls on what you need to know along with a pokeball to catch one pokemon each before you go to get you started. You will be able to catch six pokemon to carry with you at a time while the rest stay with the professor of the town your staying at I think his name is Professor Oak. You will stay one day in the forrest you land in studying the scrolls before going to see Ash and Oak about anything you need or have to look out for. Dissmissed!"

Everyone left her room at that command to pack and say good-bye to their family members.

------------------------- POV change: Naruto ---------------------------

Naruto couldn''t believe his luck. He gets to leave the village for several years while hanging out with friends and training. he didn't think life could fet any better than this. He went to his apartment and wrote a note to Gaara telling him what happened, packed, and then went to say good-bye to Sasuke and Sakura because he was just that damn happy.

A/N: Well there you go the first you liked it. Plz R&R. Also I am in need of a beta so message me if your interested.

Note: I know I know Sorry to all the Sakura and Sasuke fans the way they are in this story is because I need them to play this role. I myself am a Sasuke fan but I want Naruto to shine so unfortunately Sasuke gets the backburner.
