A Ninja's Partners

Dragon King156

Chapter 2 Path of the Ninja!

(Myra the Dovahkiin) Yes these are Ash's Pokémon the reason they got stuck in the scroll and in the Narutoverse was because of a vortex that sucked them into the scroll.

"So you wish to become the Hokage someday?" Pikachu asked Naruto as they were all going back to his apartment curiously.

"That's a pretty big goal you have in mind" Charizard quoted to Naruto as Naruto got to know his new partners better. The whole walk was filled with the same old glares of hatred Naruto got every day but it also was mixed with confusion as they looked at Pikachu and the other Pokémon wondering what the hell they were.

Naruto smiled and nodded his head rapidly "Yeah that's my dream and I'll be the greatest one out of all of them believe it!"

Pikachu and the other's sweat dropped at Naruto's enthusiasm and loud voice "well one thing I want to know is how are you going to be a ninja in that Jumpsuit?"

"What do you mean?" Naruto asked confused "what's the problem with it?"

Its bright orange and blue Pikachu said with a deadpanned look. People will see you and shout hey look we can use this guy for target practice. Greninja and Hawlucha chose this moment to chime in, "Yes I must agree with Pikachu in that remark you really need to change that outfit," Greninja said to Naruto. "I also must agree with them, it makes you look both unprofessional and an idiot at the same time," Hawlucha said to Naruto.

"Well excuse me you fashion critics but this is the only thing I have," Naruto shouted in protest. "Besides it's not like the stores will let me buy anything else due to the beast inside me."

Pikachu and the other's shook their heads at what the villagers thought of Naruto in thinking he was the nine tails. Ok Pikachu asked what techniques do you know.

Naruto thought for a bit, "Transformation Substitution and shadow clones," he finally answered.

Upon hearing this they all nodded. Pikachu then asked, "Well couldn't you just use your transformation jutsu and go in to one of those stores unnoticed?"

The blonde Jinchuriki stared at Pikachu for a while with his eye's twitching for a few second's not realizing that he could have just done that after so many years. "I can't hold my transformation for very long because of my terrible chakra control," Naruto muttered. "I will have to talk to the old man later, about improving my chakra control…"

Pikachu and the others nodded and then Pikachu asked, "Okay so what do we do now?"

"I would like to do some training with all of you guys, so I can get to know as many moves as possible so we can form patterns and combinations," Naruto said.

"Sure we're all game right guys," Pikachu Asked?

"Yep," Charizard said.

"Sure are," Squrtle said.

"Defiantly," said Bulbasuar.

"Totally agree," said Greninja.

"Yes we are," said Hawlucha.

"But, can we first get something to eat? I'm hungry, and I'm sure the others are as well," Pikachu said smiling.

Naruto chuckled. "Sure guys…" Naruto was silent for a moment.

"Hey, sooo, what do you guys think happened to the other Pokémon that were here?" As they walked down the street. "And why were you guys the only ones in the scroll?"

"We don't really know Naruto," Pikachu said. "Maybe there are more Pokémon out there we don't really know but we intend to find out right guys!" "Right!" they all said.

"What do you mean," Naruto asked? "You guys are the first that we've seen in a long time."

"I'm talking about the legendaries," Pikachu said. "They are too powerful to just disappear."

"Yes," said Hawlucha. "Legendaries are way too powerful to just up and disappear."

"So you guys think they may just be hiding," Naruto asked?

"Exactly," they all agreed.

With that out of the way the group of 6 made their way to a place called Ichiraku's Ramen stand. "Hey old man, can I get A few bowls?

"Who are you calling old man, Oh it's only you Naruto." Teuchi said as he walked out but he looked surprised at seeing Pikachu and the others. "Either I'm going crazy and seeing things or that's one big mouse, one weird bird, one overgrown lizard, one little turtle one weird plant, and one wacky frog."

Naruto laughed, as Pikachu and the other's as they glared at Teuchi for that comment. "Actually these guys are my partners Pikachu, Charizard, Squrtle, Bulbasuar, Hawlucha and Greninja," Naruto explained. "Like how the Inuzuka clan has dogs."

"Ah I see," Teuchi said, while chuckling. "So I take it that they want something as well," he asked?

"6 bowls of miso ramen," Naruto told him. "We will be doing some training after this."

"Coming right up," Teuchi said, as he walked back to the kitchen.

"Hey so where is Ayame?" Naruto asked.

"It's her day off." Teuchi said. "I had her take one since she works so hard and hasn't had on in a while."

"Sounds like she's really dedicated," Pikachu said to Naruto.

"That sounds just like her," Naruto said as he laughed.

After they all ate their ramen they left to go to training ground 17. "Okay guys we are all going to spar," Naruto said as he stretched.

"Is this a trick question Naruto?" Pikachu asked. Naruto Smirked as he got ready and replied. "No, we are all going, and we are going to go all out."

Pikachu started to get ready when he heard laughing, and everyone saw it was coming from Charizard and the others.

"Awesome!" Charizard shouted.

"This will be a great fight," said Hawlucha.

"I can't wait!" said Squrtle, as he took out his trademark sunglasses. (He can't be Squrtle without those, now can he?)

"Let's do this," Bulbasuar said.

"Can't wait to begin," said Greninja.

"Let's begin, Naruto said.

(Insert DBZ hero Flow)

Pikachu was the first to move firing off a thunderbolt, as Naruto made 60 shadow clones; 10 to spar with each of them.

Pikachu vs. Team One

Pikachu began by unleashing a thunderbolt on the first 3 clones making them go poof. The next 4 clones tried to attack Pikachu from all sides, but suddenly Pikachu disappeared in a blur of pure speed as the clones looked around trying to find him. They didn't notice a blur coming right at them, when they turned it was already too late as Pikachu's tail glowed a metal color and they all went poof. As the last 4 tried to hit him, Pikachu kept dodging while charging electricity into his tail making an electric ball appear.

He then moved a few feet away, "Take this!" as he threw the electric ball at the clone's destroying them in a badass explosion.

As Pikachu looked around he wondered how the how the others were doing as he walked back to Naruto.

Charizard vs. Team Two

As 5 of the clones attacked Charizard, he suddenly flew up and unleashed a huge flamethrower, which scorched all except two clones. The clones were shocked at the power of his flamethrower, but didn't have time to do anything else as they got hit with two white glowing punches. As he looked around he notice that Pikachu had just finished and left and was headed back to Naruto.

Squrtle vs Team Three

Squrtle immediately started to blast his opponents with a water gun, while spinning, hitting all ten of the clones at once. He saw that he was the first one done, so he waited for the others to finish so they could all walk back to Naruto together.

Bulbasuar vs. Team Four

Bulbasuar was having fun, because as the clones tried to punch and kick his he would jump, then use his razor leafs to hit the clones. Thus, destroying them all he then saw that Squrtle had finished just a few seconds before his battle so he also waited for the others and joined Squrtle.

Hawlucha vs Team Five

As the clones started to charge Hawlucha kept dodging and hitting them all with fast karate chops until there was one left. He then lead that one to a tree where he performed a flying press while spinning hitting the final clone making it go poof! He saw everyone else, and joined them walking back to Naruto.

Greninja vs Team Six

As the clones attacked Greninja he immediately fired a cloak of smoke blinding the clones alloying him to hit each clone with a mini water shuriken destroying them all. As the smoke cleared there was not a single clone left and Greninja looked to see that everyone was done with their opponents and everyone joined Naruto. (End Theme)

"Okay, from what I saw and read in the book that was thunderbolt, quick attack iron tail, and electro ball. Next I saw a Flamethrower and mega punch, followed by razor leaf and water gun. After that I saw Hawlucha's Karate chop and flying press, and finally I caught Greninja's smokescreen and water shuriken."

"Okay we are done guys." "By this point everyone had defeated their opponents and came over, it's late and we have to take our ninja I.D. picture tomorrow."

"Already?"said Pikachu.

As they all looked to the sky, to see the sun going down.

"Wow that was quick," Charizard said.

Naruto smiled, "I know Right?"

Pikachu jumped back onto his shoulder as all of them began walking back to his apartment.

Later that night as all of them were asleep Naruto suddenly found himself in a sewer.

"What the heck? Where am I?" Naruto said to himself. That is what we would all like to know, said a voice and Naruto was surprised to see that all of his partners were there.

"Pikachu?" Guys what are you doing here," Naruto asked."

"Honestly, we don't know either, said Charizard."

"I can answer that one for you," said a voice that made them all shiver a little.

"Who said that?"

"Come this way and find out," said the voice. "Aright." said everyone as they traveled down the path to a cage with a white piece of paper in the middle.

"Who are you?" Naruto asked the question that everyone was thinking.

"So my Jailer finally visit's me," said the voice. "I am the beast that can cause earth quakes and tsunamis I am the creature of pure hate I am the nine tailed fox!"

"You're the nine tails?" Naruto asked. "Huh you know you seem to be a lot less scary than I thought Naruto said"

"What you're not scared me?" he asked, shocked. "Why not? I am the strongest tailed beast there is, you and your friends should be afraid."

"Yea yea, we here you," said Pikachu calmly."

"We just don't care, you may be the strongest, but that doesn't mean we have to fear you, said Charizard."

"Hehehe, Haha haha haha, well I thought I could but whatever," said the Nine Tails.

"So why did you attack the village?" Might I ask, Naruto asked?

"It was that damn fool of an uchiha going under the title of Madara."

"Wait, you mean that an imposter made you attack the village," Naruto asked.

(Play Naruto shippuden Kushina and Minatos theme)

"Yes now let me finish. It all happened 13 years ago, right when you were about to be born. A man in an orange mask attacked your mother, and kidnapped you so he could take me from your mother. As everyone knows a female Jinchuriki is weakened due to child birth, he thought it was the perfect chance to take me. Before he could try and get her your father grabbed you, quick like a flash, as he pulled you away this masked man had attached your bundle with paper bombs. So your father had to teleport you away. As he left the mask man took your mother from where she laid. He took her to a high point in the village and extracted me from your mother. He then used that blasted sharigan of his to control me. I didn't know what happened for next few hours as I couldn't see anything, while I was being controlled. It wasn't until I awoke to see your father using the reaper death seal. I tried to stop him, because I wanted to be free but then somehow your mother used those blasted chakra chains to try and hold me. I broke free eventually and tried to stop your father by stabbing threw him but your mother got in the way and both died after saying some stuff to you. Your father then used the reaper death seal thus splitting me into two halves, they died after that, said the Nine tail finishing up his story. Before saying, "I'm sorry about what happened there, I just didn't want to be a prisoner again can you forgive me?"

(Play Naruto departing to the front lines)

"Of course I can," Naruto said. "I know it wasn't your fault after all if it wasn't for that fake Madara bastered damn sure we both would have been happy. I know you didn't do this because you wanted to. I just want to say that I am now your friend and together I know all of us can be friends. We can help you in getting rid of that hatred," Naruto said smiling. The Nine tails for the first time felt true happiness.

"Kumara huh," asked Naruto."

"Kurama that's my name and I'm happy to call you my friend Naruto."

"Thanks, I happy to have you as one now we have to get going I will see you again Kurama."

(End Theme.)

Naruto and everyone walked out ending up back asleep at Naruto's apartment. Meanwhile in his mindscape Kurama was thinking, "Naruto I guess I can now be happy I know you will become Hokage I can tell it will happen."

The next morning Naruto noticed that he was running late he didn't have time to put on face paint like planned and in his haste ripped his jump suit. So he had to do a transformation jutsu in order to get some new clothes he now wore a blue and white short sleeved jacket with a black shirt Black and red fingerless gloves and dark blue jeans with black sandals. (Ash's kalos look except no hat and black sandals) In his partner's option it was way better than that orange monstrosity. Hiruzen was surprised by the picture of him and his partner's it showed them all together looking cool.

"To be perfectly honest I thought you were going to paint your face as a joke but this is way better," said Hiruzen.

"Of course I wasn't going to do that," Naruto said lying through his teeth. I'm a ninja now I'm no longer a little kid.

"Liar! Lol, though his partners with a bunch of sweat drops.

Everything was suddenly interrupted with the door sliding open as a kid with a grey helmet, yellow shirt and a blue scarf came running in.

"Old man I challenge! Todays the day I defeat you and become the fifth Hokage, said boy running at Sarutobi, when he tripped and fell down. Naruto and the other's sweat dropped.

"My grandson," I'm going to have a big headache after this Hiruzen thought.

"Did this kid seriously trip," Naruto thought. This kid is more unbalanced Then Totadile when he's dancing all the Pokémon thought. Something tripped me the kid said just then a Jounin wearing black glasses a blue bandana headband.

"Are you ok?" Honorable grandson said the man and by the way there is nothing here for you to trip on its super flat said the man as he adjusted his glasses.

"Naruto who is this twit," he thought.

Then the boy and the Jounin turned the Jounin thought it's that boy the nine tailed fox he's the worst kind of trouble. Before he saw Pikachu and the others oh and I see he's found some fellow trouble makers.

Then the boy yelled, "Hey why did you trip me?"

"Huh?" Naruto asked, as his Pokémon were laughing their furry asses off.

"I demand to know why tripped me!" The boy shouted.

"You tripped on your own feet you idiot," Naruto said annoyed.

"Hey you take your hands off the honorable grandson right now! Don't you know he's the grandson of the third Hokage?" Naruto just stared as the boy thought that's right he won't hit me now he's just like all the rest thought Konoharamu.

"What's the matter tough guy aren't gonna hit me or are you afraid now because you know my grandfather's the 3rd Hokage."

The Jounin was freaking out.

"Well Pikachu and the others sighed here we go again."

"I don't care if he's your grandmother or Arceus!"

Naruto's shouting got him a shocked look from Pikachu and the others before he punched the back of the Konoharomu's head this guy's different. The Jounin just stood there shocked.

A few minutes later

"Listen carefully you are the honorable grandson of the 3rd hokage," said the man whose name was Ebisu. "You can't let rift raft like that draw you into a fight," said Ebisu. "Yes I am always right I will take you to the top said Ebisu," as he started to boast about his greatness at making Konoharomu the next hokage, and when he turned Konoharomu was gone. "AHH! WHERE HAS HE GONE NOW?"

"I think he followed Naruto, but I have no idea where they are going," Hiruzen said, with his pipe in his mouth.

This made Ebisu immediately run after them.

"So was what you were saying true about no caring if his grandfather was Arceus?"

"Yep, Naruto said." "I truly meant it no one should act like that no matter who they are."

"So true," said all of his partners.

Then Pikachu's ear's twitched and they all stopped.

"You know someone is stalking you right?" Pikachu said. "Its Konoharamu isn't it?"

"Yep, sure is," replied Charizard with the other's nodding.

With a sigh Naruto and his partners turned the corner and jumped over a fence.

"Huh?" I know for sure he was here a second ago, Konoharamu said as he looked for Naruto. Before Naruto came up from behind him.

"Why are you following me," Naruto asked?

"Wow the rumors are true, you are good please make me you student," Konoharamu said.

"Huh," Naruto and everyone else asked.

"I need you to be my teacher," Konoharamu said.

"This must some kind of joke right?"

"No, I need a new teacher please boss?" Konoharamu said begging.

"What do you think guys," Naruto said asking?

"I say go for it!" replied Charizard.

"Could be fun," said Squrtle.

"I would like to see what happens," said Bulbasuar.

"I think this will be good experience Naruto," said Hawlucha.

"Well you will need to know what it feels like to teach people, and I can help you," said Greninja.

"Hey, I'm on board," said Pikachu.

"Alright I take you on as my apprentice," Naruto said smiling.

"Alright, thanks boss!" Konoharomu said.

As they headed to the training ground Ebisu was looking for Konoharomu I will not let that rift raft corrupt the honorable grandson. Who knows what he could be doing to the honorable Grandson

Once at the training ground Konoharamu was doing basic Ninjutsu.

"Okay Konoharamu, your test is to turn into Pikachu and Charizard. You do this then I will teach you substitution."

Konoharamu Nodded and said "Yes boss."

For 4 hours they practiced Naruto and his partners were impressed by Konoharamu's stamina it wasn't as good as Naruto's, but it was still good stamina.

"H-H-How did I do boss," Konoharamu asked panting tiredly.

Naruto nodded, "That was really good Konoharamu." "Right guys?" He asked his partners.

"He did much better than we first thought he would," Pikachu said, with the other's nodding, and getting a confused look from Konoharamu before Naruto translated what they said.

"Sweet, at this rate I'll be the fifth Hokage in no time!"

"It's not that easy," Naruto told him, getting a shocked look from Konoharamu.

"What do you mean Boss?"

"You keep saying you'll be hokage but it's not that simple," Naruto explained. "Learning one technique doesn't mean you will just become Hokage if it was that simple then everyone would be hokage. What is your reason for becoming hokage anyway Naruto asked him?"

"When I was born my grandfather named me Konoharamu because that's what the village is named after. So it would be easy for everyone to remember but all they ever call me is the honorable grandson and not my name that's why I want to become Hokage so everyone will acknowledge me for being me and not the honorable grandson."

"Well, I'm going to call you Konoharamu." Naruto said with a smile.

Pikachu and the others chuckled we know you would never call him honorable grandson even if someone payed you.

To true.

"Look Konoharamu becoming Hokage doesn't just mean gaining respect it's also about protecting the village and everyone in it also before you could become Hokage you would have to beat me and my partners first."

"Why?"

"Because me and my partner's Pikachu, Charizard, Squrtle, Bulbasuar, Hawlucha, and Greninja have trained really hard to make me hokage so you would have to beat me first," Naruto said with a smile. "You can become hokage to, but you have to train hard if you want to beat me and my partners."

Unbeknownst to the two Ebisu was watching. "Maybe I was wrong about the boy, he seems to be right about everything that's being said but I will never admit that."

"Who are you to tell me what to do?" Konoharamu said. "That's it you're no longer my boss, but my rival and one day we'll fight to see who will become the Hokage." Konoharamu said.

"That's a fight I can't wait to have," Naruto said, as he fist bumped Konoharamu and left while wave goodbye as he and his partners left.

"That Konoharamu will make an impressive rival in the future am I right Naruto," Pikachu asked.

"Yea he sure will, Naruto said.

"I hope we fight someone soon, I'm getting annoyed at not having any good fights," Charizard said.

"We will, I can feel it," said Naruto.

"Oh that's right, Naruto don't you have team placement tomorrow?" Bulbasuar asked, "Are you excited?"

"You know it!"

As Naruto and his partners walked home unaware that tomorrow there would be a surprise waiting for them at the academy tomorrow…
