As the soft white glow surrounding him faded, his eyes slowly opened for the first time in what seemed like eons. His hand went to his chest, feeling the vicious scar which had torn straight through his torso leaving a hideous wound in its wake. Now he needed information, the fact that he had returned meant that the seal had been broken and if he had been released, then so had all of the pokégirls that he had sealed as well. Struggling to stand upright, he placed a hand against a nearby tree as the soft sea breeze glided across his body. First he would need information about where he was and more importantly, when he was. He prayed that technology had advanced to the point where recapturing all of the pokégirls was going to be an easy task.

Naruto rubbed his eyes as the first gleam of the morning sun pierced through the entrance of the cave. With a stifled yawn he tried to get up only to find that he still couldn't move his limbs due to the pressing weight. Yet only now with the light of the sun was he able to get a clear understanding of what was holding him down, the thick body of a snake. He opened his mouth to scream in fear but a soft hand was clamped across it, muffling the sound. "It's too early to be making so much noise young one," said the woman whom had slept alongside Naruto the prior night.

Breathing heavily, Naruto now had the opportunity to look at the person whom he had spent the night with and blushed when he saw her perky breasts sitting out in the open without any clothing upon them. Shifting his gaze upwards he found her to have bright pink hair, much like Sakura-chan yet of a lighter shade. The features on her face were mesmerizing as the flickering tip of the snake's tail waved behind her. With his mouth still covered, he followed the length of the tail with his eyes, horrified when he found it connected to the waist of the woman, the human and creature merging into one. Beads of sweat began to form on his brow as he quickly came to the conclusion that he was in a lot of trouble, tucked tightly within the creature's coils.

"You need not fear me young one, for I shall do you no harm," said the creature as she took her hand away from his mouth. "My name is Aizako and I am known as a Sideviper, a pokégirl."

"A pokewhat?" asked Naruto in confusion trying to swallow his fear.

She put her palm to her chin as if deep in thought, "I see, so the young ones of this time do not know of us," she muttered under her breath. "How can I explain this?"

"Umm, if you don't mind could I get out of your...coils?" asked Naruto politely causing Aizako to look up.

"Of course," she said as she rearranged her body so that her snake half was no longer surrounding the young boy. Naruto stood there, rubbing his arms nervously as he contemplated running away yet knew that it would only be a matter of time before he got caught, and the thought of being squeezed in those coils was enough to keep him still. "Now I need you to listen to me very carefully, for it is going to be up to you to tell all your friends about me and my sisters."

"You mean there are more of you?" asked Naruto.

"More than you could possibly imagine," said Aizako with a smile. "We are known as pokégirls, beings created by a man known as Sukebe who used us to fight in a war many years ago. Not all Pokegirls look the same however, we take many different shapes and sizes, I'm not quite sure how many types of us there were in the end."

"How did you end up in the scroll?" asked Naruto, now sitting on the floor cross legged as he listened to the story intently, his fear of her all but vanished.

"It was three weeks before the war ended when a bright light illuminated the battlefield," said Aizako sitting on her coils for support. "As the light struck the ground, a giant shockwave knocked everything back several dozen meters, a giant crater having been formed. My sisters and I arrived their first to find a man half dead, blood slowly spilling through a hole in his chest the likes of which I had never seen. Believing that he may hold vital information, he was taken back to our base where we healed with the idea of taking information from him once he was no longer on the brink of death. A Mysticangel also made the discovery that his soul had all but been torn away and thus it took the best Magic element pokégirls to heal what was once lost. He would soon wake however, with his strength restored and as soon as he learnt what had happened he let loose, attacking all those around him, aligning himself with the humans."

"How do you know all this?" asked Naruto.

"I was the one who gave him the information, that was after we had formed a special bond," she said poking her fingers together in a nervous position before shaking her head. "Because of this bond, I went with him and swapped sides, fighting alongside those I had maimed and killed. Yet this man was unlike anything I could imagine once on the battlefield. I watched as my sisters rushed the battlefield to be completely defeated within seconds by this man, yet he was a man of virtue, and while he injured them he never killed one of them. For that I was thankful."

"Wow," said the boy in awe.

"Indeed, wanting to end the fighting, he came up with a solution and by using my DNA was able to activate a seal which sucked every living pokégirl into the scroll that you read from yesterday. To ensure the procedure's success, it was made that he too would be sealed within the scroll, so that the day we were released we would know that he was still out there."

"Amazing," said Naruto throwing a brief glance at the scroll that lay on the ground.

"For releasing us into this world Naruto, you have my gratitude and the thanks of every pokégirl in existence. However, that does not mean that they will give you any special privileges. Having been locked away for such a time has ensured that none of my sisters will fall into a state of mindless drones, we do still feel basic instinct overtake us."

"Basic instinct?" asked Naruto. "Does this have something to do with the special bond you talked about earlier?"

Aizako nodded her head. "Our kind thrive off of sex, no matter what the age of the other party member," she said and watched in amusement as Naruto's face screwed up. "However, if it is only light sex then we will remain in our current states. If somebody is to tame us however, we see them as masters and as such a bond is created between the two and they will fight alongside one another until either passes away."

"What's the difference between sex and taming?" asked Naruto disgusted by the fact that he had to ask the question despite needing as much knowledge of the situation as possible.

"Sex is what it is, there are no iff's or but's about it," said Aizako. "Taming however is a true connection of love between a human and a pokégirl, it is not something that can be faked. That being said there are ways around it."

"You said human then, not man," said the blonde haired boy picking up the detail.

"There is nothing wrong with a pokégirl having a woman as her master," said the Sideviper as she stood upright, her body towering over Naruto. "I hope this has been insightful, you must remember it all when you tell your friends, make sure everybody knows this information. I know some of my sisters will resist the urge to seek sex for months at a time, yet some may already feel the urge. Be careful on your way home young one."

With that she began to slide through the cave. As she reached the exit however she was stopped as Naruto ran to her side, the scroll in his hand. "What's his name?" asked Naruto to which she looked at him peculiarly. "If I meet him at some stage I can tell him that you are looking for him," he said rubbing the back of his head with a smile across his face causing her to giggle.

"That's the exact thing he did when he asked for something nervously," she said as she ruffled Naruto's hair. "You know you remind me of him, and it's not just your cuteness," she complimented.

"So what was his name?" asked Naruto.

"Minato Namikaze."

Naruto walked through the bushes towards the village, muttering the name he had been given over and over again. He recognized the name from somewhere, perhaps one of his history lessons but he just couldn't put a face to his name. The blonde boy stopped in his tracks however as he heard movement behind him. It was only thanks to his shinobi training did he dodge the ball of fire that incinerated the spot where he had stood.

Turning around to face his attacker, he found a young woman, one who looked barely older than he was, standing there with a smile across her face. She had tanned skin and red hair which seemed to flare up like a wild fire. One of the major differences which told Naruto that this was a pokégirl was that instead of fingers and toes there were scaly talons, resembling that of a bird. Much to Naruto's displeasure, she wore nothing to cover her breasts despite how small they were but he was thankful that she had the decency to cover up her lower half with what looked like a torn brown skirt.

"I'm surprised you dodged that," she said coyly as she lifted a talon to her chin, the clawed appendage scratching at her skin. Her eyes shifted slightly as a smirk came across her face. "Most of it anyway."

Confused, Naruto looked at his hand to find the scroll he had been carrying was now set alight and burning quickly. He shouted in fear as he dropped it to the ground, stamping on it in a feeble attempt to put it out despite the flames licking at his foot painfully. "So you're the one who released us," said the pokégirl realizing what she had destroyed. "I was right in choosing you as my mate."

"Sorry, I'm not for sale," said Naruto as he slid into the basic combat stance that the academy had taught him.

"Well I'm sorry, this Torch Chick says that you don't get a say in the matter," she responded as she prepared to attack, Naruto bracing himself for anything.
