"Well wouldn't you rather go into a village as a kid and everyone think you are one, or go in as an adult, turn into a kid and people think you just a freak with a pedophile fetish?"

"Good point, wait… did you just call be a pedophile? Man you are so close to me not caring why these two want you." He said glaring at him.

Kakashi pulled him back to make sure he didn't try to lash out and finally deal what damage Satsuki deserves. And again the silence over took the four as they finally got to the gate.

'Damn, either they don't like outsiders or they are really paranoid because this gate is about four or five stories tall.'

---

"Big enough?" Kyle says to them. "Well we don't just let anyone walk in," Kakashi says razing a hand to his covered mouth, "Open the gate!" he yells. A man in the tower looks over then disappears.

"Well yeah but isn't this overkill?" Kakashi goes back to his book, "No."

The gates begin to open, and as they start to enter they hear off to the left, "Hey Kakashi looks like you got a prisoner!" "Damn…" Kyle looks over and sees a group of people walking to them. One was kinda tall, huge nose, with huge black eye brows, black bowl cut hair and has a stupid looking smile on his face. The second looked like him but was wearing a full green spandex suit. 'That's not right…' Kyle thought trying not to laugh.

The third was a girl wearing a pink Chinese style top; sweat pants, and brown hair tied in buns. The forth looked dead serious, long brown hair, about as tall as the girl, but the thing that got Kyle's attention was his eyes, they were a white-ish lavender color.

"Yes Gai I have a prisoner…how observant of you." Kakashi replies to the stupid looking man. "So who's this little guy then?"

'He did not just call me little guy' Kyle thought while turning the safety on his gun off, and glaring at he Gai. The girl just giggled at Kyle's reaction.

"Don't mess with him he can and will hurt you." Anko warned hoping he would keep pressing his buttons. Gai looks at Kyle, and then to Kakashi, to Anko then back to Kyle, "Nah this guy wouldn't hurt me! He doesn't look too dangerous!" "Not him you should worry about, trust me." Kakashi said eyeing the shotgun Kyle had in both hands.

"Yes well we must be going, we have a mission to do, so see you all later." Gai said and proceeded to walk through the gate. While they were walking the kid with the odd eyes and Kyle exchanged glances, Kyle put the safety back on, and then they went their separate ways.

"Who's the idiot?" Kyle asked while they kept walking. "That's Gai, he's a Jounin and that was his team of Genin. The one that looked like him is Lee, the girl was Ten-Ten, and I think and the last one was Neji, he's of the Hyuuga clan."

"Hmm…" 'He better not call me little again' Kyle thought looking back at the gate.

They enter the housing district, Kyle just started taking in the new surroundings with a smile. 'Wow it's like old school Japan, buildings, no cars or trucks, no planes, kids running around and everyone seems content' "Like what you see?" Kakashi said in response to Kyle's smile.

"Yeah, it's peaceful." Just then he notices four faces in a mountain and starts laughing. "That's almost scary!" "Anko and Kakashi give him a glare when they see what he's talking about. Waving his hands and trying to calm down he says still kinda laughing, "No no no I'm just saying that it's scary because we also have four important people to our countries history engraved in a mountain," he took a deep breath, "It just took me by surprise, sorry for laughing."

"Well, I didn't know anyone else would think of it that's all…" Kyle then just shut up realizing he just did something very stupid not even ten minutes into the village. "Don't worry about it, I probably would've done the same." Kakashi said trying to make the atmosphere not so dense.

As they kept walking it got more and more crowded with people going about their day, and some people stopped and looked over Kyle with a funny look. "Is there something on my face?" Kakashi looked around then at Kyle, "No, but I think it's two things. One: you're an outsider and they don't know who you are, Second: Your clothes." Kyle looked down at what he was wearing and replied jokingly, "Yeah I guess desert camouflage doesn't make sense in the forest."

They approached a tall building in the center of town, went in and climbed several flights of stairs then finally reached the second to top floor and stopped.

Kakashi put his book away then turned to Kyle, "Stay here, Anko and I will go in, do our report then come back and get you." Kyle nodded and sat down on the bench outside the Hokage' office. Kakashi knocked on the door, "Come in." came from the room, he opened the door went through, Satsuki and Anko followed right after.

"Well at least I get to rest." Kyle said sitting back and putting the shotgun on his lap.

In the Hokage' Office

"Lord Hokage," Kakashi said bowing, "mission complete with total success. This is the summoner Satsuki Michihiro." The old man in the chair looked at Satsuki, who jumped when his gaze fell on him. The Hokage motioned Satsuki to sit in the chair in front of his desk, when he did Kakashi and Anko stood on either side of him just behind enough to be out of view.

"So…why did Genzo hold you captive?" The Hokage asked sitting back comfortably in his chair. "He captured me to summon creatures to fight for his entertainment!" he exclaimed getting mad at the thought of being used for entertainment.

"Hn…why didn't you just summon something to kill him instead of your friend sending us on a wild goose chase?" the Hokage said irritated that he had to send his people out to get him.

Anko and Kakashi replied at the same time, "He did."

"Were they just not strong enough?" He asked eyeing the two. "Well he's sitting outside your door right now."

Outside the Hokage' Office

"Achoo! They must be talking about me…" Kyle said while looking at the man down the hall that keeps walking in-between two rooms.

Inside the Hokage' Office

"What do you mean 'sitting outside my door?" The Hokage said sternly like he thought a demon was out there.

"Sorry if I wasn't clear on that," Kakashi bowed, "He is a warrior from another land that Satsuki summoned a few minutes before we got there." "Yes he is very good!" Satsuki blurted out with a smile, "He comes from an elite force called Marines and has weapons that are very powerful!" Anko smiled evilly and nodded in agreement with Satsuki.

"Ok send him home." He waved at the summoner. "I can't." he replied looking down. "What? Why not, you brought him here send him back." "That's just it you can't send something back, all the monsters that won the matches Genzo killed so they wouldn't turn on him after. True he can summon things but not like my abilities. The only way he can get home is by someone there summoning him, and there aren't any Jutsu' where he comes from, Chakra isn't even accessible in his realm."

Everyone in the room just stood there looking at him and thinking the same thing, 'No Chakra, how is he alive? How does this guy fight without that?' Couple of the guards that were in the room snickered at the thought that there was a warrior that couldn't use Chakra.

"That's a little peace of info you left out... But I can feel that he does have it, and a good supply too." Anko said with a glare at Satsuki. "Well I think that when he came threw that the rules of here now allows him to use Chakra but he doesn't know how. Maybe he could also become a ninja and serve to earn his keep!" he said looking at the Hokage with hope that he would say yes.

"Before I speak with him, what do you know about him?" The Hokage said without his focus drifting away from Satsuki.

"Well his name is Kyle Christian, he is a Lance Corporal in the United States Marine Corps. His culture is very different from ours so he may not know some customs, he was twenty-one but now is twelve, I changed his age so he could become a ninja if you aloud him too. And to clear up something, a Marine is an elite warrior of his military."

"Right…" the Hokage said pulling out a peace of paper, then wrote something on it. "Give this to Iruka immediately and send him in." He said to his assistant standing next to the door.

He walk over got the paper then went to the door, he opened it stuck his head out and saw Kyle sitting on the bench wiping his shotgun with a rag. "You, come in." Kyle put the rag in his vest, put his weapon on his back and took a deep breath, stood up and entered the office, and then the man exited and closed the door behind him.

As he was walking to Kakashi's side he sees a man in a chair that has a red and white hat on and is starring right at him. 'Ok Kyle don't screw this up!' he thought as he glanced around to his sides and looked around the office, it was big, lots of guards which some were snickering at him.'

"Sir." Kyle said nodding at the man, who nodded back. "So Kyle was it?"

"Yes sir."

"I understand you were summoned by Satsuki, correct?"

"Yes that's correct. He brought me here to help him."

"Hmm… so he tells me. Odd outfit for the forest don't you think?"

"Well yes, but before I was brought here, I was fighting a war in a desert country called Iraq. I was with my squad when he brought me here."

"And your squad didn't come with you I'm guessing." He sighed and continued, "Well I have an offer for you since its been brought to my attention that you can no longer go back."

"Yeah that's correct." Kyle said gritting his teeth, clinching his fists, and giving Satsuki a glare.

"Well since you are now the maximum age to become a ninja, if I send you to the academy and you pass, you work for us. You get the same pay, benefits, training as all the others," he saw Kyle start to smile, "however, you will be the low man in everything, you get the last of the others. The only reason I'm going to allow you to join the academy so late is because the new year started a week ago and you already have basic training, do I make myself clear?"

Kyle smirked, "yes sir." The Hokage smiled, "Good, a man is coming here, he is a sensei at the academy, he will see if you can use Chakra or not. From what he has told me (points to Satsuki) you may now be able to. If Iruka tells me that you have learned even one simple Jutsu, you will be allowed to enter the academy, if you cannot…well we'll talk about it if it comes to that." Kyle nodded in under standing as a knock came on the door. "Come in." the Hokage said and a man stepped threw. He was average height, had brown hair back in a ponytail, and had a scar across the top of his nose and a little before the eyes.

The man walks up and bows, "Lord Hokage where is the new student?" "Right there in the camo." The Hokage says and points to Kyle, who bends forward to see him and waved. "Oh… can I take him to another room for a while so you can continue your work?" "Yes of course, come back when you're done." Iruka bows again and walks behind Kyle, "Follow me please." Kyle saluted the Hokage and got odd looks from some people in the room, "Pleasure to meet you sir." Turned around and walk behind Iruka as they both left the room and proceeded down the hall.

The Hokage looked at Satsuki, "Well you were right about cultural differences, now for you."

In another room in the building

"Here we are." Kyle and Iruka stopped and entered into a room down the hall from where they just were. After they entered he closed the door he turned around to introduce himself.

"I am Iruka Umino, Sensei at the ninja academy for hidden leaf ninja. I'm going to give you a…crash course in controlling Chakra. So it's Kyle right?"

"Yes sir." Kyle nodded. Iruka smiled, "Ok take off your…belt and vest you won't need thoughs right now, it's just weighing you down."

Kyle was kind of uneasy about taking off his weapons and Kevlar vest but since he didn't really have a choice he did. He was kind of relieved that he got to take off his heavy equipment that he didn't really need. Kyle walks to the wall and sets his shotgun and helmet down on the floor where the wall meets, then takes off his belt that has his shotgun ammo, grenades, and C4 on it and sets it down with a thud.

Hokage' Office

Kakashi and Anko look around, "Wonder what that was?" Anko said and Kakashi just shrugged.

Back to Iruka and Kyle

Next Kyle takes off his Kevlar vest and drops it from knee level and it lands with another thud even bigger than the last.

Hokage' Office

Everyone in the room looks around this time, "there it is again, what is he doing throwing the kid?" Kakashi again just shrugged. One of the guards this time left to see what the thuds were.

Back to Iruka and Kyle
"Well got a lot of stuff huh?" Iruka said jokingly. Kyle put down his sidearm and unsecured it so he could pull it out quickly if he needed it, then he turned around and smiled, "well yeah we went out for a mission and needed twice what we usually took because of all the insurgents."
"Ah so you have combat experience, good then your ahead of the class in that. How much weight is that anyways?" Kyle walked over in front of Iruka, "Well the helmet is five pounds, the vest is thirty pounds, C4 about ten pounds, shotgun four pounds, shotgun ammo about fifteen pounds, pistol one pound, pistol ammo three pounds, about two pounds water, one pound meal ready to eat (MRE), and my kbar knife is about eight ounces. So yeah it's a lot of weight for us, but we get used to it.
"Wow that's," Iruka looks up and adds it up, "about seventy one pounds eight ounces, ninjas don't carry anywhere near that much." After that sentence someone walked in and saw Kyle without his gear on, "What was all that thumping?" he asked, Kyle look at him and pointed to his gear near the wall, "That was me putting down my gear." He looked at it and nodded then walked back out.
"Well now that that is out of the way, how about we start?" Iruka asked and Kyle eagerly nodded. Umino Umino
