Author's Notes:

This story is a mix between the TMNT: 2k3 and TMNT: BTTS. Ever since TMNT: BTTS started, all my Ultimate Ninja fanart has been based off of that show. You can find my art at:

For those who don't know, Ue-chan is the Ultimate Ninja. He has been given many names, but based on the official model sheets, I've determined that his adult for is named "Ve"-Sama while his child form is named "Ue"-Sama. Since my stories are Post-Grudge Match, I shall be referring to him as the latter.

In the "Ultimate Ninja" episode, the Ultimate Daimyo said that his people had introduced ninjitsu to Earth, and since ninjitsu originated from Japan, I have decided that Battle Nexus native language would have had some Japanese undertones.
