New Ninjas On The Block

Disclaimer: I do not own FullMetal Alchemist, Yu Yu Hakusho, or Naruto.

Author's notes: First, I've added new squads from FMA and YYH, making for even more action. Plus, there are going to be plot twists diverting from the series.

Second, please send me reviews on this story. I want to know that people care.

Third, I notice that I've lost a lot of readers around chapters two and three, but I promise, it gets much better. This is just an introduction, and you know those are usually kind of boring. Please, just have a little patience. It gets better by chapter four.

Warning: By the way, I must warn you, there is going to be a certain amount of bad language. "I'm not talking about split-infinitives. I mean, of course, there will be a lot of swearing in this story. So if you are offended by this sort of material, for God's sake, don't be a d**k about it."

But, I won't make it too excessive.

Ch. 1 "Journal Entry"

Journal- April 12, 1917

Well, it's official. The Chunin Exams are going to be held one week from today. Finally, we get to show what we're really made of. I have to admit, at first, I almost hated this place. It was so new to me, I didn't have any idea what the hell was going on or where I was. But it didn't really take me long to understand it all. The hardest thing to understand, in my opinion, has to be the writing these people use. It's nothing like the Germanic writing I'm used to.

A voice rang out from down the hall, "Hey, hurry up! We're gonna be late!"

"I'll be finished in a minute!"

My roommate is such an impatient pain in the ass. He's always got his ass on his shoulders about something. And to make things worse, he's one of my teammates! I have to spend all day around him. I've tried to relax since I've arrived at this busy village of Konoha-gakure. Luckily, since we don't have any way to support ourselves, the leaders of this village have worked out a deal, and we get to stay in a place one of them owns, as long as we do the housework. Our other team member actually preferred to stay out in the woods, surrounding the village. And every morning, all he has to do is cross the gate to get in and see us.

Like me, these guys aren't from this village. They aren't even from this world. They said some sort of 'rift' opened in some place called "the Demon World" and pulled them in. It's not very believable, if you ask me; then again, I can't say anything about it. My excuse wouldn't be much more believable to people who don't know about the Gate, or my world on the other side...

There was a long pause...

Looks like I'm drifting again. I still miss my old friends. I also still owe that bastard colonel a good right hook (that should really hurt... he-he).

But, since I arrived, I've actually made a lot of progress in becoming a ninja. It only took me a few months to graduate the ninja academy. Now, almost a year after arriving here, I could become a Chunin. I don't know how to get back to you from here, Brother, so this is the only thing I can really do to try and feel closer to you. Who knows? Maybe there's a technique I could learn to actually open the Gate back home.

"Hey! If you don't hurry up and finish, I'm leaving without you!"

Well, I gotta go, now. I can't really say I like this place, but I've gotten used to it. But, I'll never give up on finding you, Alphonse. I'll keep looking, no matter how long it takes.

Edward Elric, Age 16

Genin of Squad 6

"Edward, this is the last time I'm going to call you! Get your ass out here, now!"

Ed grabbed his black, long-sleeved shirt off the back of the chair as he ran down the stairs. "I'm coming, already! Sheesh! You know, Yusuke, you've really got to learn to lighten up. You knew I wouldn't take long, I never do. And I told you already, I have no intention of being late."

"Whatever! Just come on. We're already cutting it close. We've gotta meet Kurama back at the ramen shop in ten minutes." With their headbands secured, the short, blonde-haired boy and his younger, but taller, black-haired friend leave to meet their third teammate.

Remember, guys, I want to entertain you, so please, R&R. I need to know what you really think of this stuff.

P.S. This is my first fic, so please, be patient with me.
