Well I want to thank for everyone that voted for the pony that Naruto should be paired with. It was a long journey and for those who feel that their pairing didn't make it, then I have decided to make MLP/Naruto crossovers to make up for it. It won't be right away, but I am sure I will make up for it so I don't invoke your wrath. I might make up another voting poll if I can ever learn how to put the poll on my profile like so many others I have seen. Anyways, thanks for voting and here is the next chapter of the story.
Cerberus Kyuubi: He is. Naruto being pulled into her world was his choice. No worries I will best outline the reasons in the future.

Chapter 4: Exploring Canterlot
Naruto stretched his hooves as he started to stir up looking around noticing that his dream of being turned into a pony was in fact real. The Pegasus stumbled off of his bed as he looked outside seeing that he was going to spend a few months in this realm to see what he thought of it.
Naruto walked outside of his room seeing the guards was standing near their posts. He could tell these pony guards were loyal to the princess. He was still trying to process all that has happened and all that he has learned in the last few days. Learning that his mother was the Princess of the Sun. How she has lived for a thousand years. What was she not telling him about her life. He heard so many stories from within the castle.
Naruto realized that he had been staying at the castle for the day without exploring what was outside the castle. Naruto decided to set off. He searched for his mother and realized that she must be doing her 'royal duties' as ruler of Canterlot. The ninja was still trying to adjust to his pony form. He kept tripping on his own hooves, his wings kept opening up at random times, and his eyes were bigger than his old eyes.
Naruto grabbed his bag, and walks outside the castle with his hooves. His mother had told him that bits was the currency of this land. So, his mother gave him enough for him to buy only the essentials he will need. He needed to see this new world for himself. What this world had to offer in terms of people or its sights.
Naruto was overlooking the marketplace seeing so many mares and colts walking around. Naruto was exploring Canterlot as he had never seen a place so big and packed with citizens or ponies for that matter. He was still getting use to how the ponies talked. If his ninja friends were to see this sight, then they would all freak out.
The ninja tried to make his way into the marketplace, but due to the crowd that seemed larger than he expected, Naruto was pushed back. Naruto was thinking of a way to go pass the crowd. He then looked at his wings.
"I keep forgetting i have you" Naruto hit his head with his hoof "Ow"
The ninja tried to remember how to fly as he levitated a few feet off the ground. The ninja only realized then the reason he never used his wings before. He wasn't a skilled flyer. Naruto kept hitting walls and other ponies realizing he was an out of control Pegasus. Naruto kept crashing into things and saw a bunch of barrels containing water.
"NO NO NO NO NO NO" Naruto cried out as he collided with the water barrels with such force that he broke them. He was both wet and bruised. "Sure, Naruto let's fly over the crowd that sounds like a good idea. This had to be a land ruled by horses"
The ninja got out of the barrel mess as he tried to adjust to where he was. He hoped he didn't scare anypony away with his antics. He suddenly heard the cry of a mare "AH, my water barrels"
Naruto freaked out remembering a similar altercation during his childhood, except it was with apples. He knew what to do in this situation. "Ahhhhh sorry by"
The ninja took off running as he didn't want to get caught by some pony else. This moment kept reminding him of his pranking days on the Leaf village. Naruto kept feeling homesick. He stopped his running seeing the beauty that was Canterlot. He wasn't sure what to explore first. His eyes kept turning trying to see which way could he go.
The ninja wondered why his mother never really explored Canterlot like he was doing.
Princess Celestia was attending to her royal duties. She had a lot on her plate in terms of paper work, filling out pardons, agreeing to certain things that happened throughout Canterlot. She just hoped she had enough time to spend with Naruto. Luna was asleep at the moment and Princess Cadence was with her boyfriend. Celestia could clearly see the secret that Cadence thought she was hiding from Celestia. The princess of the sun smiled seeing that her work was finally finished for the moment. A guard approaches her.
"Is there a problem Princess Celestia" The pony guard asked
"I wanted to know if an orange pegasus passed by here?" Celestia questioned
"Umm" the guard thought for a moment before it hit him "Yes, there was an orange pegasus that passed by here. Something about exploring the outside of the castle. I didn't question any bit about it"
The answer made Celestia's eyes widened. The princess had warned any pony not to let Naruto out. Who knows what could happen if he were to talk to anypony. She even told him during their talk not to talk about the other world he hailed from.
"I want you to summon all the guards and bring that orange colt here" Celestia ordered
As the guard vanished, Celestia was really worried. What if somepony found out about her exploring worlds? That would send a message to all of her enemies that Naruto could become a target not just because he comes from another world, but also because Naruto is her son. Suddenly, a pony guard comes along.
"Princess, there has been a disturbance in Canterlot. Apparently a Pegasus is running amok causing all kinds of chaos throughout the city"
Celestia looked at him. She kept thinking oh goodness, please don't tell me that's Naruto
"Is there a description of this pony?" Celestia asked nicely
"Yes, he is an orange pegasus with a blonde mane. He said something in an unknown language that we are still trying to pick up on" The guard said
Celestia's fears were realized "I know who that is. Double your search for him"
"Roger that princess" The guard saluted and went on his way.
Princess Celestia rubbed her face with her hoof Oh Naruto, what am i going to do with you.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. THIS IS AMAZING" Naruto screamed as he used a cart to surf from street to street.
Naruto had tried to fly again, but he accidentally jumped into an empty cart, which started to move on its own. Naruto didn't mean for him to start his descend down, Naruto was having the time of his life. He felt like a kid again. The ninja was also making sure that he went into streets that have little to no ponies in them. This mindset was from his own training in the ANBU. However, he would hope that he wouldn't have to use all of his training.
In the excitement of Naruto's fun, he didn't that two guards had set up a road block that would stop the cart in its tracks. Naruto turned when it was too late. Naruto had flew from where he was to the ground. Naruto made a sliding motion as he was dragging dirt with him. Naruto closed his eyes not wanting to be blinded by the dirt.
When Naruto opened his eyes he viewed many armed pony guards surrounding him. Some of the colts and mares held spears pointing at Naruto. There was a large room when he saw trouble flying by. He saw the alicorn swoop down as he recognized her immediately. Naruto sighed as he put a hoof on his cheek and dusted the ground away as he looked away.
"Hello Mother" Naruto said blankly.
He could see that the conversation about his exploration into Canterlot wouldn't go over well.
"One destroyed cart. The endangerment of the lives of several ponies. Property damage from various stores. Did you really think of what you were doing there?" Princess Celestia was overlooking the list of the damages that her son caused.
Naruto looked from the ground seeing he was getting lectured by his mother. There was a first for everything. It was the first motherly thing she has done. Naruto looked up seeing that there was another princess that was overlooking the situation. She was right next to his mother. His mother told him that she had a sister. Naruto must have suspected the mare with the moon on her flank was his aunt Luna or Princess Luna to other subjects.
"Are you even listening to me?" Princess Celestia spoke
"I am sorry that i actually wanted to experience fun instead of being coped up in this castle. I am not some exotic bird for you to hide from other ponies" Naruto spoke up. This shocked both princesses "Don't think that i don't know that you don't want me to tell anypony of what i really am"
"Naruto, you have come from another world. If anypony was to understand what you were. It would raise too many questions and harms that come with those questions and answers"
Naruto knew that secrets came at a high price. "I only came here to spend time with my mother and to learn the real person or pony rather she was. I am begining to see that this has been a big mistake"
Naruto took off as he ran out the door.
"You wait right..." Princess Luna extend her hoof to stop the orange colt
Celestia put her hoof on her sister's to stop her. "No, he has a point"
"But he..." Luna looked towards her sister
"He just needs a little time to adjust to our ways. I should have understood his need to explore Canterlot" Princess Celestia said
"Maybe he needs a little him adjusting to Equestria more than we thought" Princess Luna smiled
"You don't mean sending him to..." Princess Celestia looked at Luna, she understood what her sister was suggesting.
"If she and her friends were able to help return me to my natural state, maybe she and her friends could help convince Naruto that Equestria isn't so bad" Luna smiled
Naruto growled as he stomped on every piece of the red carpet. He was still mad at his mother for reasons even he couldn't explain. Naruto was only having a bit of fun. No matter how ruthless the ANBU tried to make him, he couldn't resist having a little fun in his life. Yet, he should have taken in the fact that not everything in this world is fun and games.
"Well that went as well expected" Kurama, the nine tailed fox said
"Oh yea, you are still here. How are you taking in all this" Naruto asked. It seemed like the nine tailed fox demon was the only person or thing Naruto could trust at the moment.
"Well, i am still trying to process all the magical junk this world is throwing at me. This world would be a six year old girl's dream come true. Not all of it is bad, but not all of it is good. It's strange to imagine Kushina as a thousand year old horse with wings and can do some powerful magic. Have you been able to follow all she has done with those thousand years" Kurama said with a bored expression
"Not much really, just some villains getting banished, some dude named Star Swirl the Bearded was their teachers. Some objects that have weird shapes that my mother used to banish my evil aunt to the moon for a thousand years" Naruto said before he noticed they were in a garden full of stone figures.
"This place gives me the creeps. Let's get out of here before Princess Kushina decides that stepping on a flower will put us ten thousand years in the dungeon" Kurama laughed
Suddenly, Naruto halted his steps seeing a weird statue of a being he hasn't seen before. The creature seemed to have a different set of everything. His horns were of different creatures. The creature had a lion paw for his right hand and an eagle claw for his left hand. He had a horse's hoof for a leg and a lizard leg as well. His tail looked like a dragon's tail and his head was of a goat. Naruto was really curious about this creature.
"What the hay is that thing. I would imagine this creature must have stepped on a thousand flowers to enrage Kushina. This creatures seems in disharmony. This creature is seems full of my kind of chaos, but if only he had my malice" The nine tails laughed
"Wait, it has a name" Naruto dusted the nameplate "Discord?"
"That statue has a bit of history to it" a voice called out
Naruto jumped as soon as he heard the voice "Pleases i am sorry i didn't mean to touch it"
"It's okay, i know who you are" The voice revealed itself to be another Alicorn. Naruto noticed this Alicorn was pink and her hair was streaks of light red and pale gold. However most of her mane was of a violet. He could tell this mare was a Princess, which made Naruto smile.
"I guess my mother told you to come fetch me huh. Afraid i might run away i see" Naruto sighed as he looked at the mare.
"My name is Princess Mi Amore Cadenza" Cadance smiled
"Oh okay Princess Me Amora Cadennzzzzahhah" Naruto said trying to pronounce her name but realizes he was butchering it.
"You can just call me Princess Cadence if you like" Princess Cadance smiled as she didn't want to overcomplicate the stallion
"Oh thank goodness that makes things so much easier" Naruto smiled
Cadance turned to the statue "Like i said, there is much history to go with this statue. This creature is a being called Discord. He is a Draconequus" Princess Cadance said
"A Draconeqqus?" Naruto trying to pronounce another difficult word.
"It's a being made out of several parts of multiple animals. Anyways, Equestria was under a state of eternity chaos under the rule of this Draconequus. He ruled for many years until Princess Celestia and Princess Luna used the Elements of Harmony to petrify him in this stone prison" Princess Cadance telling the story of the statue.
"I see, so he is locked there up good" Naruto tapped on the stone
"Yes, he is. Now, if you follow me, i can take you back to where your mother is" Cadance smiled
"Sure" Naruto nods as he was walking with the princess back to where his mother was. Unknown to the two ponies, an evil laugh was admitted from the stone prison.
"Oh Dear Celestia, how you have hidden so much from me. Even i didn't even think you had a child. This could turn things over in my favor quite nicely" the voice laughed in his thoughts.
Naruto and Cadance were both walking inside the castle when Naruto noticed a glass window that looked interesting to him. The ninja saw the figure of six ponies. Each of them were two of the same race. He noticed there was a Pink and an orange earth pony, a white and purple unicorn, and a cyan and light yellow Pegasi. It looked like they were shining lights on a dark pony in which he had seen it to be Nightmare Moon, a mare that his mother told him about.
"I guess these ponies are the bearers of the Elements of Harmony" Naruto pointed out the six mares that took down Nightmare Moon
"Yes actually, Princess Celestia put that up there a couple of months ago" Princess Cadance smiled "They are the new bearers of the Elements of Harmony. There is Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle"
Naruto looked at each of the mares that Cadance had named. For some reason his heart had slowly beats when he heard their names. He shook his head and smiled. "Well i hope i meet them one day and thank them on behalf of my family"
"I am sure you will have your chance to meet them. Twilight is Princess Celestia's star pupil" Cadance smiled "Actually, you kind of remind me of Twlight"
"Oh, in what way?" Naruto asked wondering what could he share similarly with Celestia's star pupil.
"Well, once you two put your minds to something, you focus your attention to that task" Cadance smiled
"I see" Naruto smiled as he looked at the Princess
The two smiled as they journeyed forward to see what his mother wanted to talk about.
It was dinner time and Princess Celestia was looking at Princess Luna. Naruto was looking at both of them wondering what exactly they were up to. Though, Naruto wouldn't have to wait too long to realize why they were staring at him.
"Naruto, upon futher actions and to avoid suspicions we have decided to have you go to Pony..." Luna said
"Wait, Sister i don't think it is wise to send Naruto there" Celestia interupted
Naruto raised a brow wondering what was going on. He saw the two sisters arguing left and right. Even though they were whispering, Naruto could make out what they were saying behind his back.
"Luna, pleases we can deal with this matter some other way. Please don't send Naruto there. There is so much i could teach him here in Canterlot" Celestia pleaded
"Sister pleases, you are going through enough as it is. Besides, Twilight and her friends can help Naruto understand our world a bit more than you can" Luna sterns her eyes at her sister
"I don't want to be a bad mother. I want to be there during all the moments in my son's life" Celestia argued
Naruto tried to get a word in, but he could tell the two sisters were ignoring his pleads of including him into the conversation.
"What are you so afraid of? I am sure your son is old enough to understand some things in Ponyville" Luna said
"Well, i am afraid that he might also endanger the lives of the ponies in Ponyville" Celestia lied. She had complete faith in her son, but she wasn't sure what with him being there would affect him. What if the opposite happened and he ends up going back to the Leaf village because of his adventures in Equestria.
"I am sorry to be rude, but i want in on this conversation too. Am i not part of this so called 'family'," Naruto shouted as he looked at the two Alicorns.
"Princess Luna was suggesting the idea of sending you to Ponyville, a small rural area that is just a train ride from here. That request is completely out of the question though, so just ignore it" Princess Celestia darted her eyes slowly towards Luna.
"I think it's a great idea" Naruto annoucned
"No, you are not going to Ponyville. Completely out of the question" Princess Celestia called out
"Why not?" Naruto asked "What's so bad abut this Ponyville? Is it infested with some kind of large monster or something"
"It's not that, it's just that i feel you should spend some more time with me. You still need to learn flying"
"Oh, like you have the time to teach me" Naruto muttered under his breath
"What was that?" Princess Celesta send a death glare to her son.
"The only reason you don't want me going to this Ponyville is that you are afraid some pony is going to find out who i really am and do something horrible to Equestria, or it might ruin how the subjects will view you. I think it's a great idea to have me go away so i won't be as much as a nuisance to you" Naruto said putting himself down as he excused himself from his food.
"I think i would like going to Ponyville. I am leaving tomorrow morning. With or without your approval" Naruto looked to his mother "Unless you want to keep me cope up here causing all kinds of damages you are going to keep fixing"
Celestia felt very hurt by Naruto's words. Luna was about to light up her horn feeling his words were completely out of line. "Okay Naruto you can go to Ponyville"
Luna turned off her magic and looked at her sister. "Sister?"
"You are right. You need to discover this world...So, starting tomorrow you will be on a train to Ponyville" Princess Celestia tried to hold back her tears
"Good night, Princess Celestia" Naruto said before he went outside the kitchen as Princess Celestia was crying that she was going to let her son explore the world, yet it was so hard to let him go. Celestia just hoped the ponies of Ponyville would accept Naruto as one of their own.
Well, i hope you liked this chapter.
