So, this is an idea I got watching TMNT Season 5, the Ninja Tribunal one, and I couldn't resist.

"You fail again!" Juto said. "You maggots are worthless." The Ninja Turtles and the rest of the Acolytes frowned as they panted. "Especially you, Leonardo." Said turtle growled at the Shisho (yes, in my fic they can growl. deal with it)

"That is enough for today, Acolytes. I pray you will do better tomorrow." Chikara said as she went through a door. The Acolytes all looked at one another and went to bed.

That night, Leonardo woke up. Seeing as how he couldn't sleep, he decided to explore the temple a bit. He quietly exited the room, not wanting to wake up his brothers. Little did he know that they and Splinter were already awake, roused by the sudden movement.

He walked the halls of the temple, arriving in the area which housed the rooms of the Tribunal. He was just about to pass by, when he heard weeping coming from a green-doored room. He was curious, and a little frightened, seeing as how that particular room was of Chikara-Shisho. So he decided to enter.

He saw the Shisho kneeling in front of the stone figure sitting in a chair. She had her hands cupping his, for it was obviously male, and her head rested on his lap. She was mumbling something, and Leo tried getting close in order to hear it. He made the wrong move, however, as she turned around and saw him.

"What are you doing here?" She growled.

"Easy, Shisho." He tried calming her down. "I just heard crying, and I thought you might be in trouble. Are you ok?"

She looked into his eyes and relaxed. She didn't know why, he reminded her so much of him. Same sense of loyalty, same sense of honor.

"Yes. It's just….."

"Who was he?" He asked as he stood next to her. By this time, the other residents of the temple, the other Acolytes, Splinter, the Ancient One and the rest of the Tribunal arrived, but neither sensed them.

"He was another member of the Dragons, before. He was the best of us, the strongest of us, and he sacrificed himself to save us. His name was Namikaze Naruto, the Master of Elements. I suppose Splinter told you of the Legend of the Five Dragons?" After his nod, she continued. "Well, not many know, but he was the Sixth. He was the strongest by far, surpassing even Oroku Saki in knowledge and skill. And…. he loved me. He loved me so much. And I hurt him. It started with the defeat of Tengu Shredder."

Flashback

The Six Dragons got their banner, which was handed to Oroku Saki, and celebrated the defeat of the Shredder.

At the celebration, Naruto approached Chikara, thinking that today was finally the day he could get a date with her.

"Hey Chikara." He called as he approached.

"Hello Naruto. What is it?" She turned to him, smiling slightly.

"Um, Chikara, I was wondering. Now that Shredder's dealt with and all, would you like to, um…. Would you like to go on a date with me?" He smiled at her.

"Please tell me this is a joke, Naruto." He raised an eyebrow. "Just like you, always kidding, always making light of the situation. Why can't you be serious, like Saki is? No wonder he's the best of us."

Naruto's eyes widened and he lowered his head, casting a shadow over his eyes. "Yeah, a joke. Forget I said anything, Chikara. I'm feeling a little tired now, I'll see you guys tomorrow." He left, passing by Hisomi, Juto and Kon, who were all worried about him, knowing how much he loved their teammate. They looked at her, but she was looking at Saki instead.

Meanwhile, Naruto was in his room, packing all his stuff in a travel bag. "Well, Chikara." He spoke to himself silently. "You want me gone. So I'm gone. I love you that much. I pray you find your happiness with the uptight bastard. Goodbye Kon, Juto, Hisomi. Don't try and stop me."

"We won't Naruto. Goodbye and good luck." The three males appeared from the shadows.

Fast-forward within a flashback (kinda weird, huh?)

Ten years later, the Tribunal circled Oroku Saki, all in their Dragon Forms, for the final confrontation in his fortress. They attacked and attacked, but even with their new powers, they were still no match for the formidable Shredder. He fell them all, one at a time, canceling their Avatar Forms, before he did the same to his own. He approached the down Chikara, readying his sword.

"Pathetic. You are nothing without your precious Naruto. And it was your fault that he disappeared." Tears welled in her eyes. She was having flashbacks of Naruto, of the man she had come to love and miss, and feel guilt in making him leave. She only wished for another chance with him, but it appeared that she would not get it.

"I can't let you do that." A familiar voice sounded behind Oroku Saki, surprising all five combatants. There, on a rock, stood Naruto, his cape swishing behind him, his hat concealing his golden hair. "You're the one that's pathetic, Saki. Stooping so low as to consorting with demons? You always were too ambitious for your own good. And ours, too."

"Naruto?" Chikara called weakly, still not believing he came.

"Hey Chikara." He smiled at her. It was the same smile he always gave her, and it filled her with joy and confidence, seeing it once more.

"Naruto, I'm…"

"Save it for later, Chikara. I need to deal with Saki now."

"Naruto! You're too late! I'm unstoppable!"

"Ha!" Naruto smirked, his eyes glowing white. "What do you think I've been doing all these years, while you were gallivanting about? Playing chess with trees?" He chuckled. "I, too, have been training. Training with Kami, and the Elemental Gods." The Tribunal's eyes widened, while Saki sneered.

"It doesn't matter. I will destroy you." He charged at Naruto, who stood his ground. He swiped at him with his sword, only to be blocked by a finger. This went on for some time, Naruto apparently better, yet again, but still unable to slay Saki.

"I cannot kill you Saki. I cannot destroy your evil spirit." Vines shot out of the ground, and ensnared Saki." So I will do the next best thing. I will seal you, and split you into three pieces. But." He looked at the others, his eyes staying on Chikara the longest. "It will use all of my life-force. So I will be sealed as well. Goodbye, Oroku Saki." He glowed white, a glow which enveloped the surrounding space. As the glow died down, There were three coffins, all with the Dragon symbol, and a statue of Naruto, sitting in a chair, his fingers in front of him, touching the tip of the other hand. (ya know, what Burns does in Simpsons) The final thing they heard from him, as he was turning to stone, were four words that almost shattered Chikara's hear. "Chikara, I love you."

"Naruto!" She cried, hugging his stone figure. "I love you too!" She muttered sadly, her face pressed in his stony neck.

Flashback End

Chikara had tears in her eyes once again. "After he did that, I grew bitter. Bitter at the world, for taking him away, but most of all, butter at myself, for driving him away. I never forgave myself."

"He sounds like a strong and noble warrior. He sounds like….. "

"You, Leonardo. You remind me so much of him. That's why I'm always so hard on you. I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused you and the others." Leo approached her and put a hand on her shoulder.

"From what you told me about him, I don't think he would blame you. I think he would love you regardless. I was once in a similar situation." He turned his eyes to the ground. "I also think that…" He was cut off by a light blue glow coming from his talisman. The beam of light was directed to the heart of the statue, or the area that once housed the heart.

Leo fell to his knees, gasping as jolts hit him. Mikey, Don and Raph jumped to their brother's side, trying to help him up. But, instead, three more beams shot, joining with Leo's, making a bright white beam of pure energy. Thunder struck from the skies, hitting the statue. Fire from the candles nearby flew to it as well, along with the water from the basin and the wind from all around, finally followed by earth from the floor outside. They all hit the statue, but, instead of it being broken, they seemingly entered it. Then shockwave was felt and dust rose, hiding the statue.

As the dust settled, everyone there felt a presence enter their minds and leave just as quickly. A figure appeared from the dust, coughing and trying to clear the dust in front of him with his hand.

"Hey guys." The figure of Namikaze Naruto called as the dust fully settled, leaving a wide-eyed Tribunal, exhausted Turtles, worried Splinter and Ancient One, and a teary-eyed Chikara. "Miss me?"

"Naruto!" She flung in his arms, burying her head in his shoulder, crying tears of joy.

"I, uh… I'll take that as a yes." She lifter her head and looked into his white eyes with her green ones, before locking lips with him in a loving, passionate kiss. "Or maybe a hell yes."

I just couldn't help myself, I had to do this story. I always loved TMNT, and Leo was always my favorite. The pairings of the fic will be NarutxChikara, obviously, and I'll give two Turtles girls, along with CaseyxApril. Guess which Turtles get which girls. Come on, guess. I even gave ya a hint in the chapter.
