A wasteland that's what their world had become. Their enemy had suddenly sped up his plans and caught the villages by surprise. Madara had managed to capture the Hachibi during the Kage summit. He then turned all his resources to capturing the Kyuubi. He even went so far as to use the other 8 bijuu to flush its container out.
The release of the bijuu turned the tide against the allied forces. The bijuu went on a rampage destroying everything in sight. Villages were razed to the ground due their powers. Small countries were wiped off the map almost overnight.
Eventually the allied forces fled underground to regroup themselves. They stayed down there for close to a year preparing for one final assault against the madman Madara and his forces of nature. The final plan was to seal the demons into new bodies and then kill whoever was the container to end the demons life. The plan was harsh but everyone knew that it had to be done they needed to destroy the bijuu in hopes of never having to deal with another madman like Madara.
The day of the assault came and the allied forces emerged from their underground base to find that the bijuu had turned the world into a barren wasteland. No life whatsoever. The shock soon wore off when they felt the chakra of the bijuu approaching them.
The battle was over as soon as it started the volunteers who had sacrificed their lives to kill of the bijuu did their jobs. With the bijuu gone the severely weakened Madara and Sasuke had to rely on themselves to fight. But in the end the alliance managed to kill both Uchiha, but at the cost of taking the whole alliance with them with the exception a nine ninja.
"It's finally done." A the blondes tired voice spoke. "It's finally all over."
"It's over but we were already to late. Look around you Naruto there's nuthin' left but us." Another voice spoke though this one was a bit louder.
"Way to state the obvious Kiba." A dark skinned red-haired female sarcastically retorted.
"Fuck you Karui I'm just saying that there is nuthin' left for us so what are we gonna do now, the villages are gone, the land is a wasteland hell we don't even have anyone to fight anymore." the voice now know as Kiba answered back.
"You'd like to fuck me wouldn't you, you mutt." Karui replied.
Just as Kiba was about to make a retort another voice beat him to the punch.
"Stop we all know that we have nothing left. Your not achieving anything by making it sound like we are completely hopeless." the voice said.
"Well excuse me for venting my frustrations, Shikamaru."
"Well whatever, we need everyone to be calm so we can figure out what we're going to do next." Shikamaru said.
"Well what do you have in mind Shikamaru?" a blonde female spoke this time
"Well first off we need to list our needs. Like water, shelter, and sustenance."
"But how are we going to get food? This wasteland won't be able to produce anything?" the same female voice spoke.
"We'll figure something out Ino now can I finish?" Shikamaru answered the girl just a little irritated that he had to stop.
"Okay well we need to find someplace that was untouched by the devastation caused by the 8 bijuu. Then when we find someplace to settle down we can start brainstorming goals for ourselves." Shikamaru finished explaining his plan to the other 8 ninja.
"Or we can go with what I have to say." the first voice spoke.
"Oh and what's your plan of action? I hope it isn't to try and rebuild Konoha just so you can become Hokage Naruto." Kiba said,
"Wow Kiba…just stop talking and listen?" Naruto said.
"While you guys were chatting about our future. I was also having a chat with Kyuubi." he paused to make sure he had their attention. "Kyuubi says that he has a jutsu that will send us to another world full of life in exchange for his freedom." Naruto finished explaining.
"So your saying that we should use a jutsu that we know nothing about and free the demon who could kill us all in an instant!" Kiba sarcastically shouted.
"It's not like we have anything to lose…except our lives but since we are the only ones left alive on this world why not just go for it?" spoke the blonde.
"He's got a point you know." all eyes turned to the red-haired speaker as she spoke.
"And what point is that Mei?" a black-haired female asked.
"The point is Kurotsuchi that we have nothing to lose but our lives. Even if we stayed here we would no doubt lose our lives due to the limited resources." Mei responded.
"Yeah but we have no clue what effects this jutsu could have. Who knows the jutsu could send us out into a world that is exactly like this just to spite us." another blond haired female spoke.
"He could Temari but I don't think he will. I think that he wants his freedom bad enough to help us out just once." Naruto answered.
"I agree with Naruto on this." all eyes to a red-haired boy this time. "I know what it feels like to have a demon in my gut and he was willing to do anything to get free, going so far as to declare itself as my mother. So I am supporting Naruto's idea."
"Alright thanks for the vote Gaara." Naruto grinned. "Now is the time to vote for Shika or Me cause in a minute I am taking the Kyuubi's offer whether you like it or not so let me know if you plan on following in before he finishes the jutsu."
"I'm in it beats sitting around here." Kiba spoke.
"Me too." Karui said.
"Me as well." Mei answered.
"Fine I'm I'd rather try my chances world jumping than being dinner for the Kyuubi here." Kurotsuchi added.
"What about you Shika? Temari?" Naruto asked the pair as they looked between each other before Shikamaru sighed.
"Fine we're in as well so do the damn thing already."
"Alright just one sec."
Not a minute later the nine ninja felt like they were being stretched like elastic bands. The pulling sensation lasted for about a minute before the group was deposited onto a grassy clearing. The ninja each took their time regaining their bearings as they all were hit by a unfamiliar sensation like that.
Naruto being the one to reach his feet first observed their surroundings. The Kyuubi had held true to it's word and sent them to a new world. The landscape looked fairly similar to that of Fire Country. He used his chakra to walk up one of the surrounding trees.
When he reached the top he was able to see that they were in a valley with a mountain to the west and east and a body of water to the south. He was also able to make out a few buildings a couple miles away. Hopping back down he was able to see that everyone was now standing.
"So what did you see up there Naruto?" Shikamaru asked.
"Well we're in some sort of valley and I saw a couple buildings a couple miles south of here we can go there and gather some Intel." Naruto replied.
"Yeah that sounds like a good Idea. We need to know what kind of place we are in after all." Shikamaru said.
"Alright I'll lead the way." Naruto said as he tree hop in the direction he saw the buildings.
"We should keep our ninja skills a secret until we know where we are…so that means no tree hoping, we're gonna walk there." Shikamaru warned.
Everyone nodded and they all jumped back to the ground. They continued the trek making small talk here and there most of which was about the first thing they were going to do when they reach the town. As they moved they all could feel the faint signatures of chakra all around them.
This put the battle hardened ninja on edge since they didn't know if the signatures were hostile of friendly. So they prepared themselves just in case the signatures turned out to be hostile. A rustle in a bush up ahead caused the group to stop and prepare for an attack when a yellow mouse with red cheeks jumped out of the bush.
The mouse stopped as it saw the group before them it was about to take when another rustle jostled the bush it jumped out of. A man wearing a white lab coat appeared and threw a red and white ball at the mouse. The ball made contact with mouse and opened up causing a red aura to appear around the yellow creature. The aura disappeared into the ball which closed and fell to the ground, it rocked three times as a red light flashed at its center until it stopped.
The man who threw the ball walked up to it and picked it up. It was only then that he had noticed the group of individuals before him. He saw that they were probably in their mid to late teens. They were also strangely dressed.
"Hello there what are a bunch of teens doing out here?" the man asked.
"Well we're new to this region and we are kind of lost." Naruto replied as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"Oh well why don't you follow me and I'll lead you to town. By the way I'm Prof. Oak." Oak greeted and turned to lead them to town.
"I'm Naruto and these are my friends. Shikamaru." he gestured to the pineapple headed teen. "Gaara." pointing to the red headed teal eyed boy. "and Kiba." pointing to the wild looking boy. Oak nodded to each one and waited for Naruto to introduce the females of the group.
"Now the ladies here are Ino." pointing to the blonde pony tailed teen. "Temari." pointing to the other blonde female. "Mei." gesturing to the red haired beauty. "Karui." pointing to the other red head. "And Kurotsuchi."
"It's a pleasure to meet you all. So where are you folks coming from?" Oak asked as he continued walking.
Naruto looked at the others for help but it was no use the others didn't have anything. Thinking quickly he decided to make up some random place.
"Where from a small village to the north." Naruto hoped he would buy and not question any further. His wish went unanswered as the man asked.
"Oh what is the name of the village maybe I've heard of it? I've traveled to many places in my younger years so who knows maybe I've been there."
"I doubt it. But its name is Konoha, It's really small and really well hidden." Naruto said.
"Oh well can't say I ever heard of it, it must be really well hidden. So what made you kids travel all the way down here to Pallet Town." Oak asked as each of the ninja memorized the name of the town.
"Oh we just thought it was time to finally leave the village and go on adventures." Naruto said with a grin.
"Oh so you guys are Pokemon trainers then?" Oak said.
"Poke-what?" Kiba spoke for the first.
Oak looked at them weirdly. He wondered briefly how isolated their home was that they didn't even know what a POKEMON was. He decided to enlighten this children and open their eyes to new things.
"Pokemon are creatures that have lived side by side with mankind since the first human was born. They have the ability to use special moves. For instance the yellow mouse that you saw earlier is a Pikachu, it stores electricity in its cheeks and can fire off an electrical charge." The group was now really interested in learning more.
"Pokemon can be caught by a person called a trainer. Trainers can do a several things upon becoming trainers, they can battle them with other trainers and either compete for the League Championship or compete in contests of beauty and skill. Some even tend to become breeders or researchers."
"How do you become a Pokemon trainer Prof. Oak?" Naruto asked he definitely liked the thought fight with these Pokemon.
"Oh all you need is a Pokemon and you can be considered a trainer. But to make it official you would need to register to become one. Which I can help you kids do you if you would like me to." Oak said with a smile on his face.
"Yeah I think I'm interested in becoming a trainer what about you guys?" Naruto asked his companions.
Each individual thought about it before stating their answers. Some were thinking of what kind of trainer they wished to become. Others just wanted to hurry up and get to Oaks home so they could get a Pokemon.
"Well down to become a trainer." Kiba grinned.
"You can count me in to." Karui said.
"Those contests sound pretty fun I think I'll try it." Ino said.
"I agree I think I could like doing those contests you spoke of." Mei spoke.
"If everyone else is doing it so will I." Kurotsuchi said.
"We're in too." Shikamaru spoke as he and Temari had consulted each other.
"Splendid! While we get you registered I'll have you kids read up on the basics for Pokemon trainers, like carrying for Pokemon, how to catch them, what types there are. I'll even have you watch some battle and contest footage to let you see how things work." Prof. Oak said.

It took them around half an hour to reach the town but due to all the small talk and random Pokemon that they had come across the trek went by rather quick. They walked through the small town and saw many of its inhabitants out and about. It was rather nice to see people so calm and smiling as they went about their business.
The group had felt comfortable as soon as they entered the town. It was such a stark contrast from their previous world where everyone had to constantly watch their back. It was nice to relax since that was something that hadn't even crossed their minds during the war with Madara.
The trip through the town was quick as the group found themselves in front of Prof. Oaks lab. The Professor led the group into the building which had machines that the ninjas didn't no the function of and into a room which looked like a large office. As soon as they all entered the room he addressed them.
"Alright this is my library." He gestured to the shelves lining the walls. "Feel free to help yourself to the books. I have to get ready for the four new trainers who are coming to pick up their first Pokemon." Oak finished and left the room.
"All right I think I'll try to find out as much as I can." Naruto said as he created several clones which went to the shelves and started to pull of books that looked helpful.
The group seeing what Naruto was doing followed his example. They were ninja after all and information was the lifeblood of a ninja. The group all found random place to sit as they tried to find out more about this new world.
Naruto and his five clones had to keep their senses sharp, just in case Prof. Oak returned and he had to dispel his clones. The clones had picked up books on the Pokemon League, Gym Leaders, other towns, Pokemon of this area, and the history of this world. While he himself picked out a book on how to teach a Pokemon a new move.
The others had done the same and picked up a book pertaining to the type of trainer they wanted to become. Mei and Ino had picked up books about contests. Karui, Kiba, and Kurotsuchi picked up books on the types of Pokemon there were. Temari and Shikamaru had picked up books on breeding, and caring for Pokemon, when asked why he chose this he simply said it was to troublesome to go out and catch and train Pokemon to which Naruto laughed.
The group spent several hours in the library reading up on everything they could when suddenly Prof. Oak came back into the room. He smiled at the group and started to speak.
"Well now that my business is taken care of I can answer any questions you may have, and if you have none we can get you registered and outfitted to become trainers."
"Are you going to give us a Pokemon after we register?" Kiba asked. He hoped the man said yes, but the man just shook his head.
"I'm sorry but I don't have any Pokemon to give out. You see I had originally been asked to get only three Pokemon, but then a friend of mine whose son would start his journey but was late to register so I had to rush out and catch a wild Pokemon. The Pikachu you saw is actually the Pokemon he received."
"So how do we get a Pokemon do we just run out there and grab one?" Kiba asked again.
"That's right! You just need a Poke ball and you can go out to catch your own Pokemon. I will give you six unused balls after we get you registered. So who wants to go first?"
Kiba and Naruto had bum rushed him but Naruto tripped Kiba and ended up being first. The Professor led Naruto out of the room to his computer. He sat down and pulled out the registration program for new trainers.
"Okay Naruto all you need to do is fill in the blanks." Oak gestured to the screen.

"Kay Professor I'm done." Naruto called out.
"Okay let me double check to see if you did it right." Oak then spent the next minute overlooking the information.
"I see that you listed Pallet as your hometown why is that?" Oak questioned.
"Oh well I was just had a feeling that my friends and I would be staying here in Pallet. By the way do you know how we can purchase a plot of land to build on?" Naruto answered.
"Oh well that's very nice it will be nice to have some new faces in town. Since Pallet Town doesn't have a Mayor so you can just find any plot of land and fence it off to show that it is your property." Oak answered as he finished Naruto's registration.
"Okay your all done let's just get you a Pokedex and upload your information to it. Your Pokedex will act as your identification so don't lose it. It also keeps track of how many Pokemon you have seen and captured. It also shows you your Pokemon's stats, level, and moves. It will also help you to identify wild Pokemon." Oak explained as he uploaded the data to the red device.
"All done now you fiddle with that while go get you some Poke balls and a Poke belt." and Oak left to do just that.

"Okay here you go why don't you send in the next person." Oak handed him a belt and six compact Poke balls.
"Thanks a lot Professor." Naruto said as he left to get Kiba.
"Yo Kiba your up." Naruto said as he got to the room.
Kiba rushed out of the room so he could get registered. Naruto looked around the room before spotting Shikamaru. He went over to the lazy shadow ninja.
"Hey just so you know I told Prof. Oak that we would be living here in Pallet Town. Matter of fact I'm about to go find us a plot of land far enough away from the other homes so we can have our privacy."
"That's fine I was going to suggest staying here anyways. I'm thinking of working around here with the man you know since it's less troublesome since I could just study the Pokemon you guys send here." the lazy ninja replied.
"Alright well I'm gonna go search for a place to use my jutsu tell the others will ya." Naruto said as he made his way out of the lab.
Using his ninja skills Naruto had made it to the edge town in little time. He continued traveling until he came upon the Pallet Town Cape. He saw that there was a medium sized grove which looked like it provided enough privacy for them.
He continued running until he was near what he thought was the center of the grove. He like this spot a lot, he had a perfect view of the water which was less then a hundred feet away. He summoned a few clones to help clear the area so he could use his jutsu. The clones had cleared the way in five minutes making sure the area was big enough for the jutsu he was about to use.
"Wood Release: Four Pillar Serial House!" Naruto called out as he slammed his hands onto the ground.
When his hands made contact with the ground 2 two story wooden homes sprung from the ground. Naruto had then ordered his clones to make sure that there were enough rooms for everyone. He then went into the room he claimed as his and began to take off his ninja gear.
He had pulled out a dozen scrolls which held a bunch of items he would decorate his room with. He went about unsealing each scroll one at a time. He opened a scroll that held his extra ninja weapons, another that held a cache of canned and dehydrated food, and another that had a bunch of blankets and pillows which he used to set up a makeshift bed.
His senses perked up when he felt a chakra signature nearby. Deciding to check it out since he nothing better to do he clipped his Poke belt with his unused Poke balls to his waist and went to investigate. He felt the signature coming from the beach so he headed that way.
When he reached the beach he saw a flock birds attacking something. He pulled out his Pokedex and pointed it at the scene. The screen on the Pokedex lit up before displaying the following information.
"Spearow: The Tiny Bird Pokemon, It busily flits around here and there. Even if it is frail, it can be a tough foe that uses MIRROR MOVE." the Pokedex said.
"Hmm, It's a flying type so it could be useful. I bet Kiba would be pissed if I came back with a Pokemon so fast." Naruto said as he pulled a ball from his belt and enlarged it. He was about to throw it when a beep from his Pokedex stopped him.
"Horsea: The Dragon Pokemon, Known to shoot down flying bugs with precision blasts of ink from the surface of the water." the Pokedex finished before turning off.
"So that is what they are attacking. We'll might as well kill two birds with one stone." Naruto said as he took another ball from his belt.
Moving forward with speed only trained ninja can achieve he appeared in the middle of the chaos and tapped one ball on the small Horsea and another on the biggest Spearow which he assumed was the flocks leader. The two balls shook in his hand before they stopped signaling their capture. Deciding to try out his battling skills he released his new Pokemon.
"Hmm let's see what you guys know so far. So Spearow only knows Peck and Growl, and Horsea knows Bubble. Alright then let's get this started." Naruto said as he put away his Pokedex.
"Horsea use Bubble, Spearow use Peck." he ordered.
The wild Spearow were confused their leader was standing next to their prey. Then they saw that both their prey and leader were attacking them. The flock tried their best to dodge but two were unfortunate and were hit injured.
With two injured that left only three left. The three looked at their injured comrades and then their leader. But one Spearow was smart enough to know that he wasn't their leader anymore so he attacked it. The other two followed suit and charged their opponents.
"Alright Horsea get on Spearows back, Spearow I want you to circle around those three while Horsea shoots Bubble at them." the Pokemon nodded and did as they were told.
The Spearow were caught off guard as Bubbles began to appear all around them exploding on impact with their bodies. The flock was confused once again they had no where to escape without sustaining damage since the Bubbles were all around them. The duo kept this up until the flock of Spearow couldn't handle anymore damage and fainted.
"All right good job you two." Naruto said as he recalled the Pokemon.
"I think I should head back and check on the others." Naruto said as he strapped the two balls to his belt and then took off in the direction that the lab was in.
Naruto was thinking over the battle and the attacks that the Pokemon used. He could feel a slight shift in the Pokemon's signature when they used their attacks, so he confirmed his earlier thought about them being just like ninja who use jutsu. He began to think if he could teach Pokemon jutsu, then maybe it could work vise-versa and allow him to use Pokemon moves.
He saved his idea for another time as he realized that he was almost at the labs entrance. Walking through the doors he found that Shikamaru was just now getting registered, and seemed to be having a conversation with Prof. Oak. Naruto just ignored the two and walked towards the room holding his other companions.
In the room the 8 other ninja sat around making small talk. When they Naruto they perked up. Mei was the one to ask the question on everyone's mind though.
"So did you find a spot?" the beautiful woman asked.
"Yup. It's in a grove down near the beach. I already have the houses built all we need to do is furnish it." Naruto answered.
"That was really quick. But what do you mean by houses I thought you would just make one large building like this and then that would be it." Mei questioned.
"No I only made two one for us guys and the other for you ladies. You know so you have your privacy." Naruto said with a smile.
The females in the group all smiled thinking that what he did was thoughtful. Though one of the girls took this opportunity to make a joke.
"You know I wouldn't have minded sleeping under the same roof as you Naruto, hell I wouldn't mind sleeping in the same bed as you." Mei said in a flirtatious tone.
Though he had been around the woman for over a year he had still not gotten used to her flirting. She always liked to tease him and see him blush like a little. This comment caused a few graphic images to appear in his mind and it caused him to blush, which he suppressed before speaking.
"If I had known earlier I would have just made one house, though we can always share a bed." Naruto returned with a saucy smirk.
None of the people in the room expected that kind of comeback from Naruto, least of all Mei. She had to suppress a blush as she thought of sharing a bed with the young man. Mei replied with another playful comment.
"I just might take you up on that sometime."
"Oh yeah check this out." Naruto says as he changes the subject.
He pulled two balls from his belt and threw them in the air. A white light appeared and out of that white light came a bird and sea horse looking creature. The balls closed up and returned to Naruto's hand.
"Oh look at that how did you manage to capture two Pokemon already?" Prof. Oak who now appeared in the door way with Shikamaru following.
"Oh well I went out to find us a place to set up shop, which by the way is near the beach. When I saw a flock of birds attacking something in the sand. Turns out this guy." gestures to Spearow. "Was the leader of the flock that was attacking this little guy." gestures to Horsea. "So I ran out and decided to catch Horsea to prevent it from getting further injuries and Spearow to take apart the chain of command in the flock. But that didn't work so we ended up battling five other Spearow and winning." Naruto finished up.
"Wow already you show great promise as a trainer being able to take freshly caught wild Pokemon and win a battle, impressive. Alright so all of you are all registered trainers now so you can begin your adventures anytime you want. Feel free to drop by and say hi when you're around." Prof. Oak said before taking his leave.
"What the hell man that's totally unfair why should you get two Pokemon and we have none?" an agitated Kiba spoke.
"Hey if you want them that's fine with me I didn't plan on catching them so if any of you wants either one I'd be happy to give them to you." Naruto said recalling the Pokemon.
"Well I'll take that Spearow then." Kiba said as he held his hand out.
Naruto placed the ball holding the recently caught Spearow in Kiba's hand. But when Kiba took the ball Naruto still held his hand out. Looking at the blonde he said.
"What?"
"Give me one of your Poke balls it's only fair since I used one to catch the Pokemon." Naruto said to which Kiba nodded and handed him a Poke ball.
"Any takers on Horsea?" Naruto said holding out the ball containing the Pokemon.
"I'll take it." Mei said as she reached for the ball and handed Naruto an empty one.
"Alright can we get going now?" Shikamaru asked in a bored tone.
"Yea yea let's go check out our new home." Karui said.
"Alright everyone follow me." Naruto said as he took off to the newly created houses.
