I Always wondered who would win in a fight between American Military Muscle and the ninja of the Sound Village. This is a spin off from "Transported to Naruto Renewed" and it's sequel "Love never fails" both by halliday'n'inuzuka4ever. We are good friends and I am in those two stories by her so I'm returning the favor.
*NOTE* It be best to read those two stories before reading this one so you are familiar with the characters because they will be about the same.
Disclamer: I don't own anything except the military related stuff.
-American G.I.s vs Sound Ninja-
"MEDIC!" shouted Major Colby Miles as he saw one of his men jerk back with his hands clutching the side of his neck with blood squirting like a fountain from between his fingers.
"Richards! Get over here and help me with Dakota till the medic gets here!" Colby shouted over to Will Richards, who always seem to be the medic before the medic when a fellow soldier went down.
"Where the hell is that medic? GRRR! MEDIC!" again shouted Colby.
"Calm down Miles. The medic is coming I can see'em. It's Ahlquist who's comming this time." said Richards.
"S-Sir. Tell Morgan, that... That I.. I love her", gasped Dakota. Dakota was engaged to a medic from another unit that had been deployed with the one Colby had been in charge of, but her unit had gotten orders to move to Whitefield and set up a field hospital.
"Dakota don't talk like that. You will get to see Morgan again, Kevin is here to help patch you up and get you out'ah here." said Colby.
"Where's he hit?" asked Kevin.
"In the neck, just below the ear"
Kevin was a highly experienced combat medic and long time friend of Colby's. The went to high school together and were both in their high school's Air Force Junior ROTC program.
"He's lost a lot of blood, I think the best I can do for him is give him some morphine." Kevin said
"No. It's too late, he's already gone." said Richards.
Dakota's eyes had now taken on a glassy blank stare into eternity. Richards took his hand away from Dakota's neck to revile the wound. Kevin and Colby just stared at it. A half dollar sized chunk of flesh had been blown away.
"Hate those god damn, .75cals" said Richards "Nothing we have can stop the bleed in time cause by those rounds and nothing we can wear can stop them either."
'Taisen. That's another one I've lost. I'm starting to doubt I can bring the rest of my men out of this alive." Colby said quietly.
"Now is not the time to doubt your ability to lead. Believe it or not YOU are all that remains of the leadership of this platoon. There will be time to reflect later, but now you need to help what is left of your platoon survive until the end of this fight. I have a feeling we will be getting orders to move out soon." Taisen replied. "Also Suzanna and Amanda need for you to get back to them by the end of the week. Time is running short."
"Sir?" asked Kevin "You alright?"
"What?" asked Colby "Oh, yeah I'm fine. Kevin head back down the line and tell those that are left pull back and regroup by road. We need to regroup."
"Yes sir" and with a quick salute Kevin dashed back down the line.
"Here, his tag" Richards handed Colby the dog tag that hung around Dakota's neck. Colby pulled out a pouch and put the dog tag init.
"That makes 40 men I've lost in the past six months and still no replacements have come to fill in the gaps" Colby said. "I no longer have a platoon to lead. Ha, Thanks to the enemy I've been demoted from a Platoon Commander to a Squad Commander." Colby chuckled at this because he knew it was true. Six months ago he was in charge of a fifty man platoon with five squads of ten men. Now all that remains is one squad and he is now in charge of it.
"Ha-ha, your right now that I think about it." laughed Richards. "So SQUAD Commander what do we do next?"
"We head to the road and regroup there, then figure out our next move, Vice SQUAD Commander. Though I wonder what happened to those reinforcements we were suppose to get?"
"Don't know, they probably got nailed by those planes we saw earlier"
-American G.I.s vs Sound Ninja-
Just a few miles out side of the Hidden Leaf Village the reinforcements that Colby had wondered about found themselves alone and in a land that was greatly different from what they had just been in. From a cratered road leading to the battle field to being on a dirt road in a quiet forest is a change the two squads of ten didn't expect.
"Hey Morgan! I found him, he's over here! Joseph you alright?"
"Friggen-A what the hell happened? Where are we Matt?" asked Joseph. Matt and Joseph were apart of Colby's platoon. Colby had sent them to the rear to get reinforcements.
"I couldn't tell ya but I don't like the looks of this. It's too quiet, I think we are being watched"
Just then a familiar voice echoed from the bushes "THUNDER!"
"FLASH" replied Matt "come on out, area is clear"
The first to come out of the bushes was a female medic, with blonde hair and a average to slim body build.
"Joseph you alright?" ask the medic.
"Yeah I'm fine Morgan, though why you here with us? Thought you had stay at the field hospital?"
"I did but Matt convinced my CO (commanding officer) to let me head back up the front line to bring back anymore wounded." explained Morgan as the rest of the two squads came on to the road and instinctively formed a circle around the three of them.
"Alright you guys bring it in. Let's figure out what we got for gear and we rest here for a bit before moving on." ordered Joseph. As the group gathered around Joseph, Matt and Morgan. Matt ordered two men from each squad head down the road in either direction as look outs.
"Squad leaders figure out what you got then report back, have your guys rest under those trees there for now, we want to be able to get to cover should we be surprised. Morgan what you got for medical supplies and Matt try the radio see if we get anything, I got a feeling it's not going to work but it's worth a try" Joseph started to get things organized for the squads and to figure out what their next move will be when the lookouts signaled to Matt that people were coming and fast.
"Alright you guys! Grab your gear, we got bogies' inbound, don't know if they are friendly or not but I don't want to get caught with my pants down if they turn out to be hostile." shouted Matt. "Hey bring it in a bit closer but don't lose visual contact!"
-American G.I.s vs Sound Ninja-
Kiba, Ino and Shikamaru were headed back to the Leaf Village after escorting Gaara, Temari and a couple of other sand ninja back to the boarded of the Fire and Wind Nations. Akamaru was leading when he stopped suddenly and started growling.
"What's up Akamaru? You smell something?"
'RUFF!'
"Kiba, up ahead. Those two guys that are up there, they are probably what Akamaru is telling us about" said Ino. The two men at the top of the hill started to move back out of sight from the four of them.
"Kiba, Ino we walk from here I think we spooked them, or they are lookouts for a bigger group. We could be walking into a trap but I don't have that feeling we are." Shikamaru said.
-American G.I.s vs Sound Ninja-
"Joseph, bogies have stopped, There is two white males and a white female and one big ass dog. Two hundred yards out. I think they know we are here." reported one of the lookouts.
"Alright then if they know we are here then no use in trying to hide, grab your gear lets head out to meet them but keep your weapons on safe for now. Matt and Morgan you come with me along with squad one. Squad two stay behind and proving covering fire if things get messy."
As Joseph, Matt and Morgan approached the top of the hill they saw the group the lookout had described. Two white males, a white female and one big ass dog.
-American G.I.s vs Sound Ninja-
"Great there's more than we thought" said Kiba. Akamaru started growl and his fur stood up on end. "Akamaru they really that powerful or you just don't like them already?"
Shikamaru was surprised that they would show how of them they were but he figured that if they were to show themselves like this then they probably don't want to fight.
Ino was having flashbacks to the last night she got to sleep with Colby before he went back to his world. She remembered what he told about what he would most likely be wearing next time she saw him.
-Flashback-
"Hey Ino?" asked Colby
"Yeah? What is it?" Ino looked puzzled at Colby a moment ago he was quietly telling her funny stories from his world but now his mood seemed to have become more serious.
"It will be a while before you see me again so I want you to know something. The next time you see me I wont be in normal cloths like this."
"What do you mean? I know you are going into combat when you get back to your world.." Ino tried to finish but Colby cut her off.
"I want you to see the uniform and the gear I'll have with me next time you see me incase you don't recognize me, you should be able to remember the uniform I wear. Go into my mind and you will see what I'll be wearing next time we see each other. But before you exit my mind take that image with you, and know this I maybe part of a group and we will all be wearing the same uniform so I maybe be hard to spot a first."
Ino hugged him and used her mind invasion jutsu and saw the ACU (Army Combat Uniform) uniform with it's distinctive camo pattern, the M-16 with it's sleek black metal shine, the helmet and bullet proof vest with the same distinctive came pattern. Ino released and as they woke back up, Colby smiled at her and hugged her.
-End Flashback-
"Kiba, Shikamaru wait. Colby might be in that group some where." Ino said and with that Ino took off running towards the group at the top of the hill.
"INO! STOP" shouted Kiba but Ino didn't listen, she kept running towards the group hoping that Colby would be among them.
As Ino reached the top of the hill all she heard was the clicking of weapons being taken off safe and all she saw were the sleek black metal barrels of the M-16 being raised and pointed at her.
"Hold your fire you guys", said the man in the middle of the group dressed in the ACU uniform Colby had shown her.
"Colby? Is that you?" Ino asked.
"Colby? There is nobody named Colby here. I'm Joseph" said Joseph as he introduced himself. "This Colby that you asked about what's his last name do you know?
"His last name is Miles. Colby Miles, do you know him?" Ino asked hopeful that Joseph would say that he knew Colby.
Surprised that this girl knew his platoon commander Joseph looked around to see if he wasn't the only one who was surprised at this. He was relieved that he wasn't the only one who was surprised.
Then Matt spoke up in typical Matt Evangelista fashion.
"How the hell do you know our platoon commander Major Colby Miles?" asked Matt surprised that such a girl would know Colby but a feeling of familiarity about this girl came over Matt, but he had a sneaking suspicion about this girl.
"What's your name?"
"My name? It's Ino Yamanaka of the Hidden Leaf Village" the girl replied. Matt, Joseph and Morgan were shocked to hear this. They knew of the Hidden Leaf Village through Suzanna and Amanda because they knew they were really into the Naruto anime series back home. Matt was even more shocked because he some what knew Ino through Colby who told him about his trip to the Hidden Leaf Village just after they were deployed.
"So you're the girl Colby talks about! Damn and all this time I thought he was pulling my leg!" exclaimed Matt as a smile came across his face. "Never thought that crazy tail of his would have been true."
By this time Kiba, Akamaru and Shikamaru caught up with Ino and again the sound of weapons coming off safe was heard only thing time the M-16s were pointed at them.
"At ease you guys. Ino these two and the dog friends of yours?" asked Joseph.
"Yes. These are my friends Kiba Inuzuka and Shikamaru Nara." Ino said introducing them. "Oh and I almost forgot this is Akamaru, Kiba's dog." Akamaru growled quietly at group of strangers before him. It would have made him felt better if Sashta was with the group.
"Easy boy these are friends of Colby's." said Kiba.
"That is what I'd call a big ass dog" said Morgan. Everyone chuckled at this. Then Morgan and Ino looked at each other and both realized that they looked almost alike. They both were about the same height, and had blond hair.
"So which one of you is the leader here?" asked Shikamaru. "We could take you and you team here back to the village. We could talk to the Hokage and see what we could help you out with."
Matt, Morgan and Joseph looked at each other. They were all Chief Master Sergeants, and they hadn't chosen who would lead among the three of them.
"All three of us are in charge of this team." said Joseph "Alright you guys come on out!". Then to Kiba, Ino and Shikamaru's surprise another ten soldiers came out from hiding. Shikamaru and Ino were impressed at how well they were hidden, but Kiba wasn't.
"Ha! I knew you had more men with you!" boasted Kiba trying to act like he was better than them.
"Bull Crap! You didn't know we had more men hiding!" countered Matt.
Joseph then stepped in. "Colby told me all about you and your big were down wind from you, so if we had had your kind of smell we would have smelled you coming when we first dropped in here and we wouldn't have had to send out our lookouts. Not to mention that most of these guys use to be snipers and masters of hiding in plain sight and they could take you out from a mile away, which, if I recall is far beyond your range of smell!"
"What did you say!" roared Kiba as he took a few steps towards Matt and Joseph
"You heard us. Your so call superior smelling ability ain't worth shit, you mutt!" said Matt as he loosened the strap on his M-16.
"That's I've had enough of your talk!" yelled Kiba as he started to charge towards Matt but stopped when he ended up staring down the barrel of Matt's M-16.
"One pull of this trigger and you can kiss your head good bye!" Matt said glaring down the sights at Kiba's head. Then from out of the corner of his eye Matt saw a white blur headed towards him.
"Akamaru! NO DON'T!" shouted Kiba but he was too late. Matt turned towards the on coming blur and with his M-16 on semi-auto pulled the trigger and fired three rounds at the white blur just as it leaped into air at Matt. The rounds flew with lighting speed and hit Akamaru the shoulder and neck, stopping him dead in his tracks. Akamaru falls in a heaping pile of wipers as blood flows from the wounds.
"HA! Take that you over sized mutt!" shouted Matt at Akamaru. As Morgan and Kiba rushed up to Akamaru.
"Matt that's enough. Cease FIRE!" said Morgan rushing towards the bleeding dog. "Friggen-A Matt! You ass hole! You could have killed him!"
"Well that was kinda the intention when I shot it! What else was I suppose to do let it come and attack me and rip my arm off?" exclaimed Matt.
Morgan was able to stop the bleeding and remove the bullets from Akamaru's shoulder. With help from Ino, Akamaru was patched up and ready to call it a day and head home.
"Matt that is enough! Put down your weapon and get away from Akamaru. Now!" ordered Joseph. Matt grudgingly did so and a few members from both squads offered to help carry Akamaru back to the village. Kiba was still fuming from Matt's insults and from Matt shooting Akamaru, but Shikamaru was able to calm him down.
-American G.I.s vs Sound Ninja-
"Hey Ino?" asked Morgan.
"Yeah?"
"Sorry about Matt starting things up with Kiba and shooting Akamaru. He can be a real ass sometimes. He's not always like that" explained Morgan.
"Yeah I know what mean. It's the same thing with Kiba. By the way we never got your name." said Ino.
"Chief Master Sergeant Morgan Gilman. Chief Medic, 2nd Platoon, A Company, 101st Air Borne, United States Army." Morgan said automatically giving her rank, name position and what unit she is from. Ino blinked questioningly at what Morgan had just said. "Oh sorry. I mean my name is Morgan."
"Hey Joseph. We can take you back to our village were you and your men can stay for a while. Long as your men don't cause too much trouble." Shikamaru offered. Knowing that getting them to the village could be helpful if they agree to help defend the village.
"Sounds like a idea. Alright, men grab your gear and get ready to move out." ordered Joseph
As the newly acquainted American infantry and their Leaf Village Ninja guides walked down the road towards the Leaf Village, Ino couldn't help be notice that the two squads were walking on either side of the road in single file. They would walk in the ditch then walk along the very edge of the road almost as if they didn't want to even walk on the road it's self.
"Hey Morgan. Why do your two teams walk on opposite sides of the road from each other and why do you walk along the edge of the road rather than on the road?" asked Ino.
Morgan smiled. "Well it's habit I guess. Back in the war dirt roads like these would be mined like nobody's business and the only safe way was to walk in the ditch or along the very edge of the road. On some roads even trying to cross it was risky. There were many times where I had to help Colby patch up some of his men who tried to cross the road to reach supplies. As for walking on opposite sides, well it lessens the likely hood of the entire columns being taken out by enemy aircraft and it's easier to duck into the ditch for cover if there are less people on one side of the road."
"Oh. So I guess the war was really bad then if you couldn't trust the roads you walked." Ino said. She wondered if Colby was still alright.
"So Ino, seeing as how you know Colby, do you know Suzanna and Amanda too?" Morgan asked. This caught Kiba and Shikamaru's attention and Morgan noticed this.
"Suzanna and Amanda? Yes, I know them. I actually met them the day before I met Colby down at the lake. He came to our world along with Suzanna and Amanda but he got separated from them and didn't get to the leaf village until the day after I met Suzanna and Amanda." Ino said smiling as she remembered the first time she saw Colby.
"So Morgan you talk with Suzanna or Amanda before you came here?" asked Kiba and Shikamaru.
"Last time I talked to both her and Amanda was just before I deployed with Colby. They didn't say anything about visiting this world but Colby did tell me that he had met another girl just before he deployed and the only details about her he gave me was that the girl looked almost like me but a little shorter. Seeing Ino today I realize he was talking about her" Morgan said nodding to Ino.
"So when did you last see Colby? Is he alright?" Ino asked intently. She really wanted to know if Colby was alright or alive at the very least. Morgan smile and laughed.
"Yes Colby is fine. Last I saw him he was getting what remained of his platoon ready for redeployment to the front line again." Morgan said.
"Hey Shikamaru that the Hidden Leaf Village up ahead?" asked Joseph.
"Okay. Alright you guys listen up! Weapons on safe, we are headed into a civilian population. Weapons on your backs as we get closer." ordered Joseph.
As they approached the gates to the Hidden Leaf Village the squads were in amazement of the large gates at the main entrance to the village.
"Damn first a big ass dog. Now big ass gate to a big ass village. What's next super sized meal portions?" muttered Matt.
-American G.I.s vs Sound Ninja-
As the two squads of American troops enter the Hidden Leaf Village they were impressed by the size of the walls and gates as they passed by the guard post. As they passed by the guard post, one of the guards called Shikamaru over to talk to him.
"Hey Shikamaru, who are these guys you got with you?" asked the guard, as he nervously look over at the troops behind Shikamaru.
"We ran into them on the road as we were headed back to the village. Three of them say they are friends of Colby, Suzanna and Amanda. The rest I think were just reinforcements that got transported here with Colby's friends. Kiba and Akamaru pissed one of Colby's friends off and Akamaru got shot by his weapon." said Shikamaru. Reflecting back on how quickly Matt was able to see Akamaru coming and how quickly Matt was able to react and fire his weapon in time to stop Akamaru before the dog was able to attack Matt.
"Akamaru took a hit from one of them? Wow those weapons of their's must be a hell of a lot better than what we got." said the guard. He was surprised that these new comers were able to land a hit on Akamaru, let alone stop him cold in the middle of his attack.
"Yeah. I'm going to take Colby's friends up to see Naruto and figure out what to do with them. Not sure if we could incorporate them as part of our military strength but it would be a great asset if we could." Shikamaru then turned back towards the group and went to talk with Matt, Morgan and Joseph. Joseph was just finishing up talking to the troops about what was expected of them in this unfamiliar village. Ino and Morgan were talking about each others ways of attending to the wounded, while Matt and Kiba kept a glaring eye on one another.
"Morgan, Matt, Joseph would you please come with me and Kiba to see the leader of our village and Ino stay here with the squads and keep them out of trouble" said Shikamaru.
"Ok, I will" said Ino as Matt, Morgan and Joseph went with Shikamaru and Kiba to see Naruto. "So which of you are in charge after Joseph, Matt and Morgan leave?" asked Ino.
-American G.I.s vs Sound Ninja-
"We are. " said two of the of them as they stepped forward.
"I am Master Sergeant Ryan Dillingham and I'm in charge of squad 1." Dillingham said. Dillingham was a tall slim build of a person and was known as Sergeant Nazi behind his back because of his strict and by-the-book personality. He was also an old friend of Colby's but he and Colby never were close friends.
"I am Master Sergeant Noah Sherwood. I'm in charge of squad 2." Sherwood said. Sherwood was also an old friend of Colby's from his high school days. Sherwood was a LOT more relaxed and laid back then Dillingham but was strict when he needed to be.
"Nice to meet you Ryan and Noah. My name is Ino Yamananka, we probably have a good hour or so to kill anything you guys wanna do?" offered Ino.
"How about we take a 15 minute lunch then a tour of the village. Say you know if there are any sand pits or old abandoned building around we could use for our training?" asked Dillingham. This was accompanied buy deep sighs and shaking of heads by his squad. Noah's squad was smiling thinking that Noah wouldn't agree to Ryan's proposal but they were soon disappointed when Noah agreed to Ryan's idea. After a quick fifteen minute lunch of MREs (Meals Ready to Eat) Ino showed them around the village. First she showed them Hokage Mountain with the six Hokage faces carved into them, then she showed them the major parts of town. However the members of the squads were still in combat mode and were only taking mental notes of potential spots for cover and vantage points. The snipers were sighting down potential shooting corridors and pre-marking estimated distances from potential shooting locations. All the while at least one member was constantly checking the roof tops looking for anything or anyone that could attack them from above.
"Stay sharp you guys and take notes" Sherwood said as the group walked towards the training grounds.
-American G.I.s vs Sound Ninja-
"This is our training area for ninja in our village."Ino said as they walked towards training ground 7 where Neji and Rock Lee were training. Neji and Lee stopped sparring as Ino went up to them.
"Hey Neji, Hey Lee."
"Morning Ino" Neji said "Who are these guys you got with you? They are defiantly military but I've never seen ninja dress in any kind of camo except sound ninja."
"They are kind of friends of Colby's. There are three more of them but they are with Kiba and Shikamaru talking to Naruto."
Lee's eyes grew wide. "So these are the comrads Colby so dearly told me about."
"What are you talking about Lee" asked Neji
"During one of my few brief encounters with Colby before you brought Sasuke back.I had asked him if he had any comrades beside Suzanna and Amanda back in his world. He told me that he had thousands of comrades, many of which he did not know personally but they all had something in common." Lee said
"What did they all have in common?" asked Ino.
"What we all have in common is what you can see and what you can't see." said Sherwood as he came walking up to them. "We are all like brothers and sisters in our military. It doesn't matter what race, color, religion, gender you are, what town your from. All of us are Americans and we fight so the ones we love don't have too. We have a song that you guys need to listen to."
"Say Williams, you still got your Ipod and speakers?"
"Sure do Sergeant. Why?" said Williams with a grin because he knew what the answer would be.
"Well jease bub, what are ya waiting for? Break em' out and lets get some tunes going here, and put on the Warrior song. Ino and her friends here need to hear it." Sherwood smiled and the squads smiled. The Warrior Song was the favorite. Williams took out his Ipod and speakers and started to play the Warrior Song by Sean Householder. When the song started to play the squads joined in on the singing of the song, and it went something like this:
"I've got the reach and the teeth of a killin' machine, with a need to bleed you when the light goes green, best believe, I'm in a zone to be, from my Yin to my Yang to my Yang Tze. Put a grin on my chin when you come to me, 'cuz I'll win, I'm a one-of-a-kind and I'll bring death to the place you're about to be: another river of blood runnin' under my feet. Forged in a fire lit long ago, stand next to me, you'll never stand alone. I'm last to leave but the first to go, Lord, make me dead before you make me old. I feed on the fear of the devil inside of the enemy faces in my sights: aim with the hand, shoot with the mind, kill with a heart like artic ice.
I am a soldier and I'm marching on, I am a warrior and this is my song
I bask in the glow of the rising war, lay waste to the ground of an enemy shore, wade through the blood spilled on the floor, and if another one stands I'll kill some more. Bullet in the breach and a fire in me, like a cigarette thrown to gasoline, if death don't bring you fear, I swear, you'll fear these marchin' feet. Come to the nightmare, come to me, deep down in the dark where the devil be, in the maw with the jaws and the razor teeth, where the brimstone burns and the angel weeps. Call to the gods if I cross your path and my silhouette hangs like a body bag; hope is a moment now long past, the shadow of death is the one I cast.
I am a soldier and I'm marching on, I am a warrior and this is my song
My eyes are steel and my gaze is long, I am a warrior and this is my song
Now I live lean and I mean to inflict to the grief, and the least of me's still out of your reach. The killing machine's gonna do the deed, untill the river runs dry and my last breath leave. Chin in the air with a head held high, I stand in the path of the enemy line. Feel no fear, know my pride: for God and Country I'll end your life.
I am a soldier and I'm marching on, I am a warrior and this is my song
My eyes are steel and my gaze is long, I am a warrior and this is my song!"
-American G.I.s vs Sound Ninja-
As the song ended the squads cheered a and started laughing because they knew they couldn't sing but it was still fun to try. Ino, Neji and Rock Lee started laughing too, but Ino got a feeling deep down that she might be hearing this song again. As the next song came on, Neji spotted another person walking towards them, she was dressed like the others but didn't have a weapon like then and had a white armband on her left arm with a red cross on it.
"Hey Ino. This another one of Colby's friends?" Asked Neji. Ino looked toward the road leading towards the training and saw Morgan coming.
"Yes it is." replied Ino "Hey Morgan!"
"Hey Ino! I heard some singing going on down here and it sounded horrible." joked Morgan "Sherwood did you guys sing the warrior song?"
"Hahaha! There is nothing wrong with our singing. We sing like angles" laughed Dillingham. Dillingham although known behind his back as Sergeant Nazi, did have a fun side. Everyone started laughing at this, but then Sherwood noticed another person coming and it wasn't Kiba, Shikamaru, Joseph or Matt. Ino saw where Noah's gaze was headed and instantly her mood changed because she knew it was Chouji that was coming. The group noticed the change in Ino's mood and stopped laughing. A few of the squad members grabbed their M-16s just in case things got ugly.
"No, not him. Not now" muttered Ino.
"Hey Ino, who is this guy?" asked Morgan.
"His name is Chouji. He and Ino broke up the day when Colby first came to the village. When Colby left with Suzanna and Amanda to head back to your world, Chouji gave Ino endless crap about Colby leaving and made up crap about how Colby never truly loved her. It was not pretty the fights between the to of them. Chouji always is the one to start things between them." Neji explained. Morgan looked at Ino. She knew the same kind of situation Ino was in. It happened to her when her fiancee, Dakota left on his first deployment. Morgan got endless crap from some of her ex's.
"Ino! What the hell you think you're doing hanging out with these guys? Don't you know they are friends of that leaving bastard of a boyfriend of yours?" said Chouji. This caught the attention of everyone and one by one member of both squads went and got their M-16s. Sherwood and Dillingham motioned to them to keep their weapons lowered.
"What the hell Chouji! So what if they are friends of Colby's doesn't mean I can't be friends with them! Why don't you back off and leave me alone!" shouted Ino. Neji and Rock Lee didn't want to get into the mix but knew they would have too if things got bad.
"You know that Colby is a lying, cheating, bastard that doesn't love you or anyone else! Hell, I bet he would even turn against his own comrades." Chouji sneered. This got the squads really fired up. Even Dillingham and Sherwood were just about ready to have a go at Chouji and Morgan saw this.
"Squads 1 and 2 stand down" commanded Morgan. She too was getting mad at Chouji but she couldn't let them turn this into something bigger than it already was but that went out the window was a crowd started to form as Ino and Chouji went at each other in a highly heated argument. As the crowd grew larger and the insults from Chouji became more and more direct and Colby. Ino and the two squads both got madder with each insult. Even Gaara, Kankaro and Temari who were visiting the village to see Naruto joined the crowd. Then Chouji said one insult too many and to everyone surprise it was not Ino who snapped.
"Well then I guess this other blonde one here must be Colby's new girl friend! I knew he would go back to going out with his own people insted of you Ino." shouted Chouji. This last insult really ticked Morgan off because years ago she and Colby had a short stint together but they lived too far anyway from each other for their relationship to truly work.
Morgan had had enough and started walking towards Chouji with a look in her eyes that was known simply as, The Warrior's Eye, to the soldiers back in Morgan's world. As Morgan walked up to Chouji, he had one last thing to say.
"Aww, I did I piss you off my dear?" sneered Chouji.
"Yes you did." replied Morgan and with that she threw a single punch that connected square on Chouji's cheek and sent him flying across the training ground. Members of both squads then went running up to Morgan incase she decides to go after Chouji again or if Chouji tries to make a move against Morgan. Chouji stunned but not deterred got up.
"Well now..."
"Shut up fat ass." said Morgan cutting him off. Ino and everyone else but the two squads were shocked. Nobody called Chouji fat a got away with it.
-American G.I.s vs Sound Ninja-
Word had now gotten to Naruto that there was a fight going between Ino and Chouji and show how the two squad were also caught up in the mix of things.
"We better get going before things get out of hand." said Joseph. Matt, Kiba, Shikamaru, and Naruto agree and they all booked it towards where the fight was happening.

"Gaara, we should stop this before someone gets hurt" said Temari.
"I want to see what Colby's friends can do to put Chouji in his place. If Chouji tries to use his jutsu then we will step in" said Gaara.

Chouji got up and glared at Morgan.
"Nobody calls me fat and gets away with it!' roared Chouji
"I just did fat ass what are you going to do about it?" said Morgan. Taking her turn at throwing insults at Chouji.
Just as Kibe, Matt, Joseph, Shikamaru and Naruto showed up. Chouji yelled "Why I ought-ah!" as he started to charge at Morgan. The troops around Morgan instinctively formed a defensive formation in front of her and took their M-16's off safe. As Chouji got closer, one of them put their M-16 back onto safe, flipped his rifle around so the barrel was facing away from Chouji. Just as Chouji was upon them the soldier stood up and slammed the butt of his rifle into Chouji's face. Breaking his nose, jaw, and taking out a couple of his teeth. Chouji fell back in pain and briefly passed out from the impact.
When Chouji woke back up, he awoke to seeing both squads aiming at him all locked and loaded, ready to shoot. Chouji's face was covered in blood and he couldn't talk even if he wanted to. His nose was smashed off to the side and bleeding heavily. Chouji tried to move his hands to form a hand sign but just as he did Gaara, Temari and Kankaro suddenly appeared from the crowd and were between Chouji and the squads in a flash. Naruto, Kiba, Shikamaru, Matt and Joseph also emerged from the crowd and rushed over to them.
"Chouji what the hell are you doing?" asked Shikamaru. As Kiba and Sikamaru went up to him.
"Squads Stand Down! What the hell is going on here?" ordered Joseph as he walked over to squads.
"Chouji what the hell are you doing?" asked Shikamaru. As Kiba and Sikamaru went up to him.
"Sergeant, we had a bit of a tussle with Ino's ex. He tried to make a move against Morgan after she stepped in and broke up the fight between them" explained Sherwood. Sakura then arrived with a couple of medical ninja to take Chouji to the hospital.
"Chouji what happened to you?" asked Sakura.
"He got his face smashed by my rifle" said the soldier who smashed Chouj's face.
"Alright let's head back up to Naruto's office, so we can sort this out there and we need to talk to all of you about a few things." said Shikamaru "Gaara, Temari, Kankaro you should come too." Gaara nodded and started towards the Hokage building with Temari and Kankaro next to him. The rest of them shortly followed.

Everyone was in Naruto's office as Ino finished explaining what happened when there was a knock at the door.
"Enter" said Naruto. The door opened and in walked an anbu black ops member. Matt, Morgan, Joseph, Dillingham and Sherwood could tell that they were apart of an elite unit from their outfit and how they carried themselves, but they wondered why they had an animal face mask on. Back home, members of special units wore masks when they went into combat but didn't usually wear them outside of combat unless they were being filmed by news crews.
"Sir, we have gotten reports of Sound Ninja gathering at the boarder in small groups. A few groups have tried to cross the boarder but retreated when our units confronted them."
"They must planning something big and toying with us." said Naruto with a concerned look on his face. "That all you have to report?"
"Yes, Sir"
"Dismissed" said Naruto and with a nod the anbu member left the room. "They are planning something. I know it"
"Naruto who are these Sound Ninja?" asked Joseph.
"The ninja of the Hidden Sound Village are our enemies, and they have been for the past few years now. They always do this when they are planning something." said Naruto. "If this village is attack while you are here, will you help defend the village against the Sound Ninja?"
"Yes sir we will." replied Joseph as he snapped to attention.
"Colby would have our heads if he found out that something happened to Ino while we were here" joked Matt. Ino glared at him and Matt saw this "What Ino? When ever we talk about our friends and family while we are out in the field he always talks about you, and we thought he was joked when he told us that if any of us met you that, we would keep you safe. Now that us meeting you has become reality, our orders from Colby are to keep you safe."
"Alright then." said Naruto "it's getting late and we still need to find you guys a place to stay for the night"
"Too bad all the hotels don't have enough rooms for all of us" said Morgan. "Staff Sergeant Kevin Ahlquist and I already scoped out the hotels here and none of them had enough rooms available."
"Well looks like we will be sleeping outside tonight" said Matt.
"Looks like it" said Joseph.
"Hey Morgan if you want I could see if you could take at my place for the night" offered Ino.
"Sweet! Sounds good" Morgan said "sorry guys but I'm not sleeping outside tonight"
"Look like that's everything" said Naruto "go get some rest" With that the group left Naruto's office and headed towards the training grounds.
-American G.I.s vs Sound Ninja-
The squads arrived at training ground 7 and set up camp back in the woods and along the bank of the river. Their tents were set up in two rows with the openings facing each other with a wide path between them. Williams had taken out his Ipod and speakers and was playing music as Kevin Ahlquist and Dillingham got a fire going. Joseph and Matt were talking about the possibility of the Sound Ninja attacking and which tactics would work best against them. When Ino and Morgan showed up with bags of food.
"Who goes there?" joked Matt "We'll shoot if you didn't bring food!"
"Haha. Very funny Matt. Yes we did bring food" Morgan replied rolling her eyes. Ino just laughed.
"So what did you get for me and my boo-dah belly?" said Matt patting his belly.
"I didn't get you anything, but Ino got the squads dinner" said Morgan. Ino laughed some more.
"What the hell. I can make Ino laugh but not you?"
"Alright. What did you two gets us?" asked Dillingham
"Food" replied Morgan
"Ok. That works. A nice hot meal would hit the spot after eating MREs for the past few weeks." said Dillingham.
"Yeah it would." said Joseph "Let's get the food out and let's eat!"
After dinner the squads gathered around the fire and Joseph didn't waste any time getting down to business.
"Alright guys you know the drill. Go get your gear, inventory time." said Joseph as he pulled his pack out from behind him and started to empty it. The squads got up and got their gear from the tents, and when they came back they too emptied them. Ino was amazed at how much stuff each of them had in their packs. One thing after another, pocket after pocket was emptied of it's contents. When all of them were done each soldier had a respectable pile of stuff in front of them.
"Alright then. Check what you got." said Joseph and everyone started going through their pile and made several smaller piles of stuff. From the light of the fire Ino could make out their M-16s and stacks of what she assumed were the ammunition magazines for their weapons, piles of round metal balls with a small handle, stacks of green pouches with MRE written on them. However out of all the gear Ino saw in front of each soldier the one thing that surprised Ino the most was a a little red box with "First Aid Kit" written in bold white letters. Joseph then took out a pen and a pad of paper and started to make a list of what he had. Then he went around and asked what each soldier had and how many.
"Kevin what you got?"
"One M-16. Six ammo clips, five grenades, nine MREs, three breakfast, three lunch, three dinner, one K ration, one bayonet with saw tooth back, one M-16 cleaning kit, one first aid kit with three rolls of gauze, six gauze pads, two triangle bandages, one pair of scissors, eight packs of aint-germ powder, and one pair of tweezers and finally my favorite ten pounds of C4 and five sticks of dynamite"
As Joseph went around asking what each of them had, Ino noticed that each of them had the same gear while also having something that is unique to them. Much like with the ninja of her squad. When Sherwood finished reporting in what he had Joseph announce the final talley.
"So, we have 20 M-16 rifles, 24 side arms, 138 clips of ammo, 115 grenades, 24 bayonets all with saw tooth backs, 216 MREs, 24 K rations, 24 first aid kits, 40 morphine shots, 3 M-21 sniper rifles with 30 ammo clips. Ten pounds of C4, 20 sticks of dynamite, 10 flares, 24 sets of chemical warfare suits, 10 smoke grenades, 10 flash-bang grenades, 2 anti-tank rockets, 6 claymores, 4 two way radios, 3 land mines, 1 Browning .30 cal with ten belts, 20 climbing ropes each 75 feet long, 1 crowbar and 10 of Matt's favorite stink bombs." said Joseph, as the group started to laugh at the last item on the list.
"Hey my stink bombs worked like a charm the last time I had to use one, against them Eastern Axis soldiers back on Wake." said Matt laughing "Guess they couldn't handle bear crap and skunk piss!" Morgan and Ino made a disgusted face as the rest of the troops laughed.
"Alright pack this stuff up and get some sleep. Sherwood, Dillingham you two got first watch. Half hour interval ok?"
