Fairy Godninja in Training
Part Two
Naruto sighed to himself again as he stared at the people he turned into plants. He still had no idea what he was going to do with them. He wasn't even sure what he did wrong to bring them here in the first place. All he knew was he couldn't stand around here all day long. He needed to gather them up, get back to his place, figure out what went wrong, and get them back to where they belonged before Queen Tsunade came back to the village. Sighing again, he waved his wand over their plant bodies and himself. A brown bag formed over his shoulder while his guests plant bodies shrunk just enough to get them inside of the bag. Once they all were snug inside, he adjusted the strap over his shoulder, flittered his wings, and took off into the air.
He carefully looked around the forest and the sky as he flew back towards his home, looking for others that might be out and about. It was still fairly early so not many should be out right now. He really didn't need to run into anyone else he knew. The gatekeepers were a close enough call. He was a bit surprised they didn't notice nonmagical creatures in their forest. Usually nonmagical creatures are easy for magical creatures to spot. Their nonmagical auras just stuck out in a world of nothing but magic. Grumbling to himself, he said, "Don't worry about that for right now. Just get home and get this taken care of. If not, Queen Tsunade is going to kill me. Not to mention what Sakura is going to do if she finds out I messed up on this simple assignment. And I still have to finish this assignment too. Ugh! Such a pain!"
"Hey! Naruto!" Rock Lee shouted out. He flew up to Naruto and whacked his friend on the shoulder.
"Ah!" Naruto screamed. He grabbed a hold of the bag and squeezed its strap until his hands turned completely white and ached from the intense move. He knew it was all over. Rock Lee was gifted. Rock Lee surely would sense the humans he had hidden in his bag. It was all going to be over. He was really going to pay for this one.
"Sorry, Naruto. I did not mean to scare you like that," Rock Lee said. He flittered his light green wings as he hovered in front of his friend.
"It's fine. You didn't really scare me. I was just startled a bit," Naruto said, still clinging to the bag's strap. He carefully eyed Rock Lee for any signs of sensing the humans in his bag. He relaxed a little when the young black haired man in front of him didn't seem to notice the people that didn't belong in their world.
"Oh? What you got there?" Rock Lee asked. He pointed to the bag clutched in Naruto's hands. "Out picking snacks from the forest again?"
"Uh, yeah. That's what I was doing. That's exactly what I was doing," Naruto said. His heart skipped a couple beats when Rock Lee pointed at his bag. He thought for sure this time his friend would notice. But Rock Lee didn't. He forced himself to release his hold on the strap. His hands thanked him for the relief.
"You really should go easy on that," Rock Lee said. He crossed his arms over his chest. "The gardeners do not like it when we eat too much of their hard work."
"It's not their hard work," Naruto grumbled. "They do nothing but stand around while the younger kids practice their magic in growing all of the candy trees and flowers and stuff. They just supervise and get praised for doing nothing. "
"I suppose you are correct," Rock Lee said with a laugh. "Still, be careful with how much you take. They will still yell at you. And you can get sick from eating too much junk as well."
"I know, I know," Naruto said, waving his hand in the air like he was shooing away a bug. He paused to let his friend speak again, but he didn't. "So what did you want?"
"Oh, I was heading to the training field to meet up with Tenten and Neji," Rock Lee said. He jerked his thumb over his shoulder. "I was just wondering if you would like to join us today. We're going to practice our ninja skills in combination with our magic. It is going to be great. I am planning on beating my record of three thousand-"
"No thanks," Naruto said, cutting his friend off. He really didn't need or want to hear this right now. "I'm kind of busy right now."
"Really? Doing what?" Rock Lee asked.
"I'm trying to finish up an assignment before Queen Tsunade gets back," Naruto said.
"I see. Well you had better hurry then," Rock Lee said.
"Why? She's not due back for a few more days," Naruto said.
"Did not you hear? Queen Tsunade has cut her visit with the Sand Kingdom short," Rock Lee said.
"What?!" Naruto gasped. "So she's coming home tomorrow?"
"She's coming home today," Rock Lee said.
"You've got to be kidding me! Sakura didn't tell me that!" Naruto screamed. He ran his fingers into his hair while kicking his legs wildly. "What am I going to do?! What am I going to do?! I'm so dead! I'm so going to get killed for this!"
Rock Lee laughed at his friend's display of panic. "Sakura might not have been informed yet. She's been running around all morning completing tasks. There is nothing for you to worry about, Naruto. It is just a simple assignment, correct? You have plenty of time to get it done before the queen arrives. She will not be here until after the sun goes down. And, let me guess, it is just the assignment where you pick a mortal and grant them wishes correct?"
"Yeah, that's the one," Naruto said, calming down from his outburst.
"Then you will get it done. It is easy. Just pick someone and grant a couple wishes. Neji, Tenten, and I got that assignment done in just fifteen minutes," Rock Lee said. He turned away from Naruto, ready to head off to his training session with his teammates. He paused and looked back at his friend. "I can help you if you need it."
"No, that's okay. I'll get started on it right now," Naruto said, his eyes dropping down to the bag on his shoulder. In fact I already have started it. I just need to fix it.
"Well, that is good to hear. If you finish it up in time, come out and join us," Rock Lee said. He waved to his friend then flew off.
"Yeah. Sure." Naruto waved. He watched his friend fly off with another heavy sigh. "If I live long enough to ever join you again. This is the worst thing that could have possibly happen."
Naruto flickered his wings. He turned his attention back to heading home. This time he flew as fast as he could. He really didn't need to get stopped again like that. He was still baffled at how Rock Lee didn't sense the out of place humans. He dropped his eyes down to the bag as the wind whipped against his face. "That's very odd. I was certain that he would be able to sense that they were here. But he didn't. I wonder why."
He shook his head in frustration. "One problem at a time. First, get them back to my place. Second, get them back to where they belong. Third, grant that one guy some wishes. Fourth, figure out what went wrong. I only have until tonight to get this mess cleared up."
Naruto dipped down when he came to his tree apartment building. He eyed the other windows, all the curtains were closed still. He landed gracefully in front of his own apartment and looked around to see if he had been spotted. No one appeared to have seen him. He relaxed a bit with a soft sigh. The wind picked up, blowing the smells of breakfast from all the restaurants and vendors into his nose. It made his stomach grumble in protest of not having breakfast yet. "And above all I forgot to eat breakfast. Maybe I have some ramen I can eat. I haven't been shopping in a while. I hope I have at least something in here. It's a good think I left the door unlocked."
He grabbed the door handle and pushed it open and entered into the dark room. Quickly slamming the door shut, he locked it behind him, turned on the light, and rushed into his apartment. He placed his bag down on the table then rushed for his kitchen cabinets. He went through them while mumbling to himself. "Maybe the spell messed up because I was hungrier than I thought I was. Food should help some this problem. I can eat before working on my other problem. Everything will work out just fine. Here we go! Instant ramen! This will be a quick fix. Then I can change them back and get them back to their world."
Naruto grabbed the instant ramen from the cabinet. He stood back up and grabbed his coffee pot off the stove. He filled it with water then set it back on the stove. He lit the burner before walking back over to the table. He plopped down in his chair and started pulling out the flora he had shoved inside. He laid them out on the table. Sitting there he just stared at them until his coffee pot whistled when it became hot enough. He got up and walked over to the stove. Shutting the flame off, he ripped open his instant ramen, poured the boiling water inside of it then when back to his table. Quietly he ate his breakfast while he continued to stare at the flora spotting his kitchen table, thinking about what happened and what might have gone wrong.
"That was great! I'm feeling a lot better now. All right, let's get this over with," Naruto said. Picking up his wand from the table he waved it over the plants. Sparkles shot out of the end of the wand. They rained down over the plants and changed them back into the people they were meant to be. The table creaked and groaned from all the weight now sitting on top of it. "Ah! No! What was I thinking?!"
The table legs snapped. The pirates and the table all went crashing to the floor. Their voices mixed together when they hit the ground all piled on top of each other and tangled together. They all cried, "Ouch!"
"That hurt!" Shachi said.
"I think I broke my spine!" Brook cried.
"This is so not super at all!" Franky said.
"Somebody better remove their hand!" Nami hissed.
"Sorry, Nami! I didn't mean to! Honest!" Sanji said.
"Get off of me, you stupid cook!" Zoro snapped.
"Shut up! It's not like I fell on you on purpose!" Sanji growled. "I'd much rather have land on Nami or Robin!"
"You idiot!" Nami said before slapping Sanji.
"You're beautiful when you're angry, Nami my sweet!" Sanji said after his head hit the floor from Nami's slap.
"Where are we?" Penguin asked.
"What happened?" Chopper asked. His eyes shot to Neo. "Neo! Are you all right?! Did you or the baby get hurt?!"
"We're fine, Chopper," Neo said. She was wrapped in Law's arms, pressed tightly against his chest. "Law managed to pull us away from getting hit."
"That's a relief," Chopper said with a sigh. He moved closer to Neo and tickled her round belly with his hoof. "I'm so glad you two are all right."
"Well, that was an interesting experience," Robin said as she looked around the room.
"That was funny!" Luffy said. He sat up, adjusted his hat, and looked around the room.
"You would think so," Shachi and Penguin said as they glared at the Straw Hat captain.
The pirates quickly untangled themselves and stood up. But with the large number of them in such a small room, they kept elbowing each other and hitting each other when moving just the slightest bit. Their voices mixed together again as they complained about the tight space.
"Hey! Watch where you're pointing those big arms of yours, Franky!" Usopp said.
"Sorry. It's not my fault this place is so small," Franky said, shifting his position.
"Now you're poking me!" Sanji said.
"Sorry. There's just no room in here," Franky said.
"Ouch! You stepped on my toes!" Shachi said.
"Deal with it," Penguin replied.
"If any one of you hit's Neo or our child, I'll severe you into a million pieces," Law said. He wrapped his arm around Neo and pulled her to his chest again.
"I'm fine, Law. You know our child is protected by my crystals," Neo said. She glanced up at Law and smiled.
"I know," Law said with a smile back to her. 'I'll still hurt them if they hit you.'
'You just enjoy causing them panic.'
'I sure do.' Law pressed his lips to her hair.
"We have to get out of here," Nami said. "It's too small for all of us to be inside here."
"No! You can't leave! I'll make it bigger!"
"Who said that?" Usopp asked. Suddenly millions of sparkles erupted in the room. The walls moved out from everyone, given them more space to move and spread out from each other. "Ah! What's going on?! What's happening?! Why is the room suddenly getting bigger?!"
"That's because of me."
The pirates turned to the somewhat unfamiliar voice in the room with them. They stared at the person they had briefly met a few minutes ago.
"It's you!" Usopp said while he pointed at Naruto accusingly. "What happened?! Where are we?!"
"Now call down," Naruto said. "I'll explain everything. My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I'm a Fairy Godninja in training."
"You are Fairy Godninja?" Usopp asked.
"That's right." Naruto nodded. "Bringing you here was just an accident. See I was trying to finish an assignment."
"So you're really a fairy?" Luffy asked. He bolted right up to Naruto and inspected the ninja's wings. "These wings are real?"
"Yes. They are real. Now if you would-Ouch!" Naruto snapped when Luffy tugged on his wing. He spun around and slapped Luffy's hand away from his wings. "Stop that! Don't pull on those!"
"It hurts you?" Luffy asked.
"Yes! What did you think would happen?!" Naruto asked.
"Neo's wings don't hurt her when I pull on them," Luffy said with a smile.
"One of you has wings?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah. She does," Luffy said pointing to the only blue haired girl in the room.
"Straw Hat! You're not supposed to go around blabbing about stuff like that!" Law snapped.
"So? Everyone already knows about it with what happened in Dressrosa," Luffy said. He put his hands behind his head and frowned at Law.
"But we're clearly not in the New World, now are we?!" Law demanded. He pointed right at Naruto. "For all we know this guy is an enemy!"
"He's not an enemy," Luffy said. "If he was, why did he bring us here?"
"I'm actually trying to explain all of that," Naruto said. "If you would just let me-"
"Ah!" Brook suddenly screamed. "What's wrong with my body?! Well, I mean my bones since I don't actually have a body! But that's beside the point! I'm a tree!"
"Huh?" All of the pirates turned their eyes to the skeleton. Their eyes about bugged out of their heads when they noticed that Brook's spine, his arms, and his legs were made of tree bark.
"That's funny!" Luffy laughed.
"It is not!" Brook snapped. "I'm a tree!"
"Sorry about that. I'll fix it," Naruto said. He waved his wand at the skeleton. More sparkles shot out and around Brook. "There that should do it."
"Are you kidding me?!" Brook asked when his bones turned into licorice. His candy body swayed back and forth before he finally collapsed to the floor. "What did you do to me?!"
"Ah! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'll fix it! I'll fix it!" Naruto said. He flicked his wand at the skeleton again.
Brook sighed when his body changed from licorice to a cupcake.
"Sorry! That's not right either!" Naruto said, flicking his wand again.
Tears ran down Brook's skull when his body changed into a sucker, then a marshmallow, a cookie, a stick, and then a bag of popcorn.
Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp laughed. They pointed at their friend's constant change into multiple sweets while dropping onto their backs on the floor.
"You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?!" Brook shrieked from his popcorn body.
"At least you smell good," Robin said as she sniffed the salt and butter that filled the air.
"Yeah. I'm hungry," Shachi said.
"Do you think we can eat him?" Bepo asked.
"Don't you dare! You could eat an important part of me!" Brook shrieked.
"I'm sorry," Bepo said, hanging his head in a depressing aura.
"All right, all right! I got it this time!" Naruto said. He waved his wand one last time. Sparks flew out and around Brook's body, turning the skeleton back to his correct form.
"I'm back to my beautiful self!" Brook cried happily.
"Do that again! I wanna see him transform into something else!" Luffy said.
"Yeah! Do it again! Do it again!" Chopper and Usopp cheered.
"No way! Don't you dare do that to me again!" Brook cried.
"I won't. I won't," Naruto said.
"Now that that has been taken care of," Law said, gaining everyone's attention. "Would you mind telling us where the heck we are and how we got here?"
"And why not all of us was brought here?" Penguin added.
"Well, it was an accident that you all came here," Naruto said. "I was working on an assignment."
"What assignment?" Nami asked.
"It was as assignment where we got to pick who we wanted to grant wishes for," Naruto said.
"You grant wishes?" Robin asked.
"That's right. We're Ninja Fairies. We combined our magic with our ninja skills. We go out on missions too," Naruto said. He grabbed his viewing mirror off the table and showed it to them. They peered into it, seeing both their ships.
"It's our ships," Neo said with a sigh. "It doesn't look like anything has been hurt. The crew's going to be worried when they find we're not there."
"It should be a while," Naruto said.
"Why's that?" Sanji asked.
"Time flows differently here," Naruto said. "While it's morning here, it's still night where you all came from."
"Well, that's a relief," Neo said.
"I'm hoping to get you all back to your ships," Naruto said.
"You're hoping?" Zoro asked.
"Well, you see," Naruto said while fiddling with his wand. "I'm not the most talented fairy ninja around. And because of that, I accidently brought you all here. I was suppose to send myself to your ship and grant you wishes." He pointed at Luffy.
"Hold on! You're going to grant Luffy wishes?!" Nami asked.
"That's right." Naruto nodded. "During our training we're allowed once a year to pick whoever we feel like granting wishes to. Normally we're given already assigned people to grant wishes to. This just allows up to be more free and independent."
"You're granting me wishes?" Luffy asked.
"That's right," Naruto said with another nod.
"That's so cool!" Luffy said. "Then I wish for-"
"Don't you dare!" Nami and Sanji growled as they clamped their hands over Luffy's mouth, preventing him from speaking.
"Huh? What did you do that for?" Naruto asked. "I still have to grant him wishes."
"I'm sorry, but you picked the wrong person," Sanji said.
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked. He tilted his head sideway and glanced back at Luffy.
Luffy struggled to get free of his friends hold, but they refused to release him.
"Luffy gets us into enough trouble as it is," Nami said.
"We really don't want him messing around with wishes," Sanji said. "Who knows what kind of trouble he'll get us into?"
"But I still have to grant him wishes," Naruto said. He waved his wand again. Sparkles twinkled out of the end and floated down to the floor.
"You're just going to have to pick someone else," Nami said.
"Please, pick someone else," Shachi and Penguin begged.
"Sorry, I can't do that," Naruto said.
"Why not?" Franky asked.
"After I decided on him there's no way I can undo that decision," Naruto said. "It's like an unwritten contract. It's a contract done in magic. I have to grant him wishes."
"That's just great," Nami said. She and Sanji released their hold on Luffy.
"How many wishes do you have to give him?" Chopper asked.
"Three," Naruto said.
"Three wishes shouldn't be that bad," Robin said. "All we have to do is have Luffy wish for meat three times. That should be an easy wish to grant."
"Well, she does have a point," Shachi said.
"But this is Straw Hat we're talking about," Penguin said. He then pointed at Naruto. "And this guy messed up on his magic twice already. Who knows what he'll mess up if Straw Hat starts making wishes?"
"Hey! I'm not that bad!" Naruto protested.
"You transported two pirate crews from another world into this world when you were suppose to come to our world," Robin said.
"Well, when you put it that way," Naruto said with a pout. He fiddled with his wand, looking depressed.
"What do you think, Neo?" Chopper asked. "You're the only one of us here that has magic."
"You do?" Naruto asked.
Neo flinched when the young blonde man looked at her. She stepped closer to Law and nodded. "Yeah."
"That's right. That one guy did mention you have wings," Naruto said. He eyed her up and down. "But where are they? I don't see them."
"Uh." Neo looked up at Law. 'Should I tell him? He doesn't feel like an enemy. He appears genuinely sorry for the trouble he's caused. He actually seems very nice. I think we can trust him.'
'You know I've always trusted your instincts. If you think we can trust him, then we can trust him. We might need to use your magic and wings here anyway. It all depends on how quick this guy can get us back to our world.'
Neo nodded. She pulled her eyes from Law and looked back at Naruto. "I have wings and magic. But my magic is a bit different from yours."
"How so?" Naruto asked.
"I don't grant wishes. I'm an Elemental. I can control the elements and create them through my crystals," Neo said. She summoned ten crystals of each element. "I can summon as many crystals as I want."
"Wow. That's incredible," Naruto said. He inspected the crystals before him. One group was light blue, one light green, one red, and the other a greyish blue. They were different sizes and shapes from each other. "Do you have a limit on how many crystals you can summon?"
"I don't think so. The number of crystals really depends on the strength of an Elemental," Neo said.
"Then you must be really powerful," Naruto said. He lifted his eyes to hers, carefully taking in her magic he now easily sensed. "There's something else about you, isn't there?"
"Yes, but I'm not really comfortable talking about that," Neo said. She tucked herself closer to Law.
"Neo needs time to adjust to new places and people," Robin explained. "It's a bit out of character for her to just tell someone new what she just told you. She must sense that you are a good person."
"I see," Naruto said. "I guess being in magical world helped that. What about your wings?"
"It does help keep me calm that we're surround by magic and I have Law and everyone else by my side," Neo said. She summoned her wings onto her back. "My wings are just like an accessory. I don't have to wear them. They're also like hair. They can get damaged and will grow back."
"Ah, you are so lucky," Naruto said, eyeing her blue ombre swallowtail shaped wings. "If our wings are damaged too much there's a chance we can lose them. They're basically the same as our arms and legs."
"Yeah, yeah. That's all nice and good. Now what about getting us out of here?" Zoro asked.
"Oh, right. We need to get going with that," Naruto said.
"Why the rush? And what was the deal with turning us into trees and such?" Penguin asked.
"I really don't want to relive that," Brook said.
"Oh, well, see humans aren't really allowed in this world because they can become extremely greedy when it comes to magic. In the past, humans have seriously hurt the magic population. We had to separate ourselves from them," Naruto said. "So if you get caught here you'll get thrown into the soul sucking dungeon."
"Soul sucking dungeon?!" Chopper and Usopp shouted as they clung to each other in fear. "That doesn't sound good at all!"
"It's not. It's literally like it's name says," Naruto said. "It'll suck your soul until you're released back to your world or you die."
"I don't want to die!" Usopp and Chopper shouted. "Send us back! Send us back!"
"Yeah. Let's go," Nami said with a shiver. "I don't want to see that dungeon at all."
"Right." Naruto nodded. He waved his wand in the air. "I'll send you back right now. Are you ready?"
"Yeah," several chorused.
"I'm ready," Sanji said.
"Let's go," Shachi said.
"I'm already packed," Usopp said.
"Luffy's gone," Zoro said casually.
"What?!" everyone shouted. They all looked to the door. It was wide open and Luffy was nowhere to be found. "That idiot!"

Lightningblade49: Glad you like it.
Guest: I'm not surprised someone thinks that considering the type of show Naruto is. It's just a short story done for fun. It'll make sense why I did this at the end. I actually thought my Silver Blood cross over would get more likes than this one. I was wrong. Lol Guess that just proves you never know what people will like and not like.
