Chapter One

A Lost Shinobi

Sunlight streamed through the trees to land on the form of an unconscious figure. Slowly the figure's eyes blinked open to reveal clear sapphire eyes. He groans as he props himself up on his arms to get his bearings. Looking around, the male takes in his surroundings.

An open meadow greeted his eyes with a forest far off in the distance. Looking to his right he takes note of a small pond and slowly gets up and makes his way toward it.

Peering into the waters surface a startling sight is what greets him. Looking back at him is a strange creature with bright yellow fur covering most of his body except for the two brown stripes curling around his back. Atop his head twitched two long rabbit-like ears with black tips.

Below his ears wrapped around his forehead was a headband with a metal piece sewed into it bearing a strange leaf insignia and had two long straps flowing behind him. Around his neck was a small crystal necklace and three whisker-like marks were on his cheeks.

This was Naruto Uzumaki, shinobi of the hidden leaf village, or was once a shinobi. Now he couldn't tell whether he was some kind of rabbit or a rat.

Startled by a flash of yellow in the corner of his eye, Naruto turns his head to see a strange thunderbolt shaped appendage moving behind him and reaches out to grab it. Only to realize that he could feel a slight painful sensation as he yanks on the strange appendage.

"Gyaaaaaaa!"

Naruto screamed as he lets go and falls over looking horrified. It couldn't be! That was his tail! He didn't have a tail! What the hell was going on!?

"Ok Naruto, settle down." he says, getting up and pacing back in forth. "You've been through worse than this."

He rubs his head in frustration. " I can't remember what happened though." All he remembered was being on a mission with Kakashi, Sai, and Sakura, but he couldn't remember anything else.

That's right! He was with his team! All he had to do was find them.

"Kakashi and the others shouldn't be too far." He says taking two steps and falling flat on his face.

"Ughh!" Naruto groans as he rubs his face with one of his furry paws. "Guess I should figure out how to walk on my new legs before I do anything else."

Standing back up he looks down to observe his feet. "It's so strange; my feet are really tiny, and my hands are longer then my feet. It makes it really awkward to try to run on two legs."

Suddenly he slams a fist in the palm of his hand. "Who says the animal I am now is supposed to be on two legs!" Naruto crouches down onto all his paws and takes a few tentative steps forward.

"Its still weird, but it's easier than before." Slowly he starts to practice walking on two legs and running on all fours.

"Ok!" He says, stopping closer to the forest then he was a moment ago. "I guess I'll try applying chakra and see if I can use it." Naruto focuses his chakra into his hands and feet. He then sprints right for the trunk of a tree without slowing down and he runs right up the tree. Getting to the top, Naruto stops and surveys his surroundings.

According to the sun's direction, the meadow that he woke up in was to the east. Toward the west the forest spreads for as far as the eye can see. Off toward the southwest Naruto spies several smoke stacks and what appears to be a large cliff overlooking a lake.

"Well, my chakra seems to still be working, so no problems there." He scratches his head. "The first thing I should probably do is head toward the smoke. There might be someone I could ask for help." Naruto heads back down the tree and lands gracefully on the ground, starting in the direction of the smoke.

As he's running between the trees he starts to wonder how he got there, why he looked the way he did, and why he was having so much trouble remembering what happened to him.

Naruto all of a sudden comes to a halt, his ears twitching. He swore he heard something, almost as if it was a cry for help. "P-Please somebody help!" There it was again: it was a faint but desperate cry. Without a second thought he shoots in the direction the plea was coming from. Coming to a break in the trees where a small pond rested, Naruto was slightly stunned by the scene he had stumbled upon.

There by the pond stood a huge blue creature several times his size with a shell and twin cannons on its back. With one foot it had a small-blue rabbit thing with floppy ears and a long tail with a rounded end at the tip pinned to the ground with several injuries across its body. With one of its hands he held a little newt-like creature with antlers on the head, his tail swaying hopelessly under him. All in all it was a very intimidating sight for most.

"Who the hell do you think you are stealing from me you little pests?!" the bigger creature growls, tightening his hold on the newt in his hand. As the small creature gives out a terrified squeak, the blue rabbit desperately wiggles under its foot.

"P-Please!" She begs. "Leave my son alone! He didn't mean anything and is till learning!"

The large blue turtle only laughs as he raises the little newt further into the air. "I suppose the little brat needs to learn a lesson then!" With that he hurls the newt high into the air.

Aiming his cannon, a huge rush of yellow energy rockets out and heads straight for the poor creature.

"Nooo! Please don't!" screams the desperate rabbit as her struggles intensify.

The energy continues to head right for the flying newt, but right before it can hit him a yellow blur darts out and grabs the newt out of the sky.

Landing with the newt in his arms Naruto turns to face the large turtle. "Hey, what's your problem? Picking on a little guy like him!" He sets the newt on the ground. "Why don't you fight me instead of these guys."

The large turtle smirks as he takes his foot off the struggling rabbit. The rabbit and newt run to each other.

Stomping over to Naruto he leers down at him. "Well what do we have here, some little rat trying to act tough!"

Naruto gestures to the two scared blue creatures. "What did they ever do to you!"

The turtle snorts. "Not that you need to know but that little brat stole some hard earned food of mine!" Suddenly the turtle tenses up and aims his canons at Naruto. "I think both of you need to learn not to mess with your betters!"

Naruto jumps into the air as a huge torrent of water shots out at him. Putting his paws together Naruto shouts out a familiar saying as chakra gathers in his body. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" With a pop, smoke fills the area, and when it clears ten Naruto's are standing there all tensed for a fight.

"If you think a simple Double Team attack will help you, you're dumber than you look!" the turtle says with a mocking laugh.

Naruto tilts his head in confusion. Double Team? What was that?

"I don't know what you're talking about. This is my Shadow Clone Jutsu don't underestimate me!"

With that Naruto and his clones charge toward the Turtle.

As Naruto gets closer, the turtle lowers it's body towards the ground and aims his canons at him. A huge gush of water rushes out to meet him and takes out a couple of Naruto's clones. The rest start to surround the blue turtle in a circle.

"Betcha can't catch me"! One taunts. With that all the clones start to circle their enemy, making him dizzy.

"You little brat!" The turtle growls. He retracts his arms and legs to Naruto's confusion. Suddenly the turtle starts spinning fast and knocks into all the clones, and with a puff of smoke they all dispel.

Coming back out of his shell the turtle smirks. "You're weak! Just like everyone else around here!"

He hears a whooshing sound behind him and turns around to see two more Naruto's holding up a bright blue glowing orb that seems to be spinning fiercely. "I said not to underestimate me!" Both Naruto's sprint toward the turtle with the glowing ball in their palms.

They dodge the turtle when he tries to chomp down on them with his jaws. In the air the clone Naruto poofs and disappears. "Take this! Rasengan!" He slams the orb onto the turtle's head and a cracking sound is heard as his body slams into the ground, leaving a small crater around him and his eyes swirly.

Landing lightly Naruto sighs and turns towards the turtle, who was rising to his feet with a groan and a large lump on his head.

Shaking his head the large creature eyes Naruto angrily. "What type of electric type Pokemon knows Aura Sphere?"

Aura Sphere? Naruto thinks as he once again tilts his head in confusion.

The turtle snarls and turns his back to Naruto and the other two. "Don't think this is over you little rat!" He makes his way off shooting angry glances at them over his shoulder.

As his opponent was walking away Naruto turns around, only to be tackled into a hug by the large blue rabbit he had just saved.

"Oh, thank you so much!" she said as the newt hopped up beside her. "I don't know what we would have done without you!"

"It's OK, really!" Naruto squeaks out as she tightens the hug. "I'm just glad you two are safe!" The little newt giggles as the rabbit gently sets Naruto down gasping for breath.

The rabbit smiles sweetly as she gestures to herself and her son. "My name is Kali, and this is my son Nile." She reaches out a blue paw towards Naruto. "If its fine with you I'd like to know your name."

Naruto grins as he reaches out to shake her paw happily. "My names Naruto Uzumaki. It's nice to meet you!"

She smiles back as they drop their hands and her son hops up and down happily. "Thank you so much Naruto! Please, is there any way we could repay you for what you've done?"

He shake his head quickly. "No, I don't need anything. I was happy to help." He pauses as he brings his paw up to his chin to think. "But if you could tell me where I am and answer some questions I would really appreciate it."

Kali tilts her head as she gives him a confused look. "You don't know where you are? Are you lost?"

Naruto rubs his neck sheepishly. "Well, kinda. I honestly woke up in a clearing not far from here and don't really remember much before that." He jesters to his tail and ears as he continues. "I also know I didn't have these either before I woke up here."

Kali seems even more confused as her son stops hopping to give the ninja a confused look as well. "Are you saying you weren't a Pikachu before you woke up?"

Now Naruto was the one confused. "Pikachu? Is that what this thing is called?" He reaches up to pull his ears. "I honestly don't know what I am, or what you two are either since I've never seen creatures like you where I'm from."

Kali and Nile just stare bewildered at Naruto as he starts to feel nervous thinking he said something wrong. He lets go of his ears as Kali starts to talk again.

"If you say you aren't a Pikachu then what are you?"

Naruto's ears twitch as he answers her. " Well I'm a human, been one all my life."

Kali shakes her head completely astonished. "Dear, humans are just creatures in stories, they aren't real." She peers at him concerned. "Are you sure you didn't hit your head in some way?"

Naruto shakes his head. "No, I know what I am, and that I was a human. I just don't know how I got here or how I was changed into this Pikachu thing."

Nile hops closer to his mother and gives Naruto a funny look. "Mom, this guy is weird!"

Kali pats her son on the head softly. "Now Nile, he isn't weird, he just needs some help." She looks down at him. "He also saved us so he isn't a bad Pokemon."

She looks back up to Naruto. "I think we should go somewhere so you can explain to us better what happened to you dear." She waves her arm as she starts to walk away with her son following. "Follow me and we can go somewhere more private to speak."

Naruto nods his head as he decides follow along behind her thinking about how he got there and how he could get back home.


So that was the first chapter of Rescue Team Shinobi!

Once again I have trouble with grammar and spelling so advice is welcome.
