Chapter 3: Reinforcements

"So why exactly are you scanning all of us again?" asked Ino as she and other ninja laid down on the beds as Ratchet scanned them.

"The data that's collected from your scans can be very useful," the doctor bot said, "since you ninja have a slightly different body structure from most humans on this planet, we can use your unique body structure to locate the chakra network, as you call it, in your other friends to help locate them faster."

"I guess that makes sense," nodded Sai.

"So by using the readings you get from us," Shikamaru emphasized, "you can find similar ones anywhere in the world and help find Neji and Kiba's squads on that machine of yours."

"That's the idea," Ratchet confirmed, "you all seemed to catch on pretty quickly."

"We do have some technology that you have like computers," Kakashi said, "but they're still pretty rare and not anywhere near as high tech as yours are."

"I hope they're okay and aren't in trouble." Naruto said with.

"Yeah," Choji agreed.

A honking sound was heard from the entrance as Jack, Miko, and Rafael came into base with their guardians. The Autobots transformed into their bipedal modes as the kids got off of their vehicle forms.

"What do you three do when you're out of base in the morning?" asked Sakura.

"School." said Rafael.

"Work." Jack said.

"Detention." mumbled Miko.

"You still have to go to SCHOOL!?" Naruto and Choji exclaimed in shock.

"What?" asked Miko confused, "Don't you go to school?"

"We did when we were younger." Sakura explained, "but when we were twelve we passed the genin exam and graduated from the Academy to become ninja, so we haven't needed further schooling, unless you count the lessons that our senseis gave us in training."

"So you went to school to learn to be ninja?" asked Jack.

"Yeah," nodded Ino, "there we learn mostly the basics of ninja arts, like ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu, what chakra is and how it functioned, our hand seals, and other stuff around that area."

"Oh," Rafael nodded, "so any sign of your friends?"

"Nothing yet," Yamato replied, "but it's only been a day. We didn't expect to pick them up right away."

"So what do you guys do in your free time?" asked Jack trying to change the subject, "Like back in your village?"

"Not a lot usually," said Naruto, "when we do get a day off of missions we usually just use that time to get some rest." his expression then turned into a mischievous grin, "Though in my case if I have enough time on my hands I'll go and pull a prank on someone."

"I usually volunteer at our hospital or play trivia games." said Sakura, "That is if mom and dad don't send me on an errand."

"Drawing," Sai answered simply, "I enjoy calligraphy too."

"Reading," Kakashi said as he flipped another page of his Icha Icha book.

"Same as Kakashi." Yamato said.

"Same with Sakura," Ino said, "though most of my days off I work at my family's flower shop or run errands. I do love shopping though!"

"Playing shogi or taking naps." Shikamaru shrugged with his hands behind his head.

"Not much," Choji shrugged, "Shikamaru and I will hang out from time to time, I do enjoy getting different types of snacks and comparing them, especially potato chips."

"Huh," Miko nodded, "I guess I could expect that from a fa-" before Miko could finish, someone's hand slapped against her mouth, and turning her eyes she saw it was Jack.

"What the-" he exclaimed in surprise, "My body! It's moving on its own!" Miko and Jack then looked down at their feet and saw that there was a black strip reaching across the floor from Jack's feet to Shikamaru's shadow. He was positioned in the same way that Jack was with his hand held about half a foot in front of him as if covering the mouth of someone around MIko's height.

Shikamaru chuckled nervously, as he lowered his hand, Jack following suite in shock, "Shadow Possession Jutsu, complete."

Ino walked up to Jack and Miko and whispered, "Guys, you don't want to use the 'f' word around Choji. Trust me, you'll regret it." The two nodded in understanding.

"Okay," Miko said after nodding, "so you think you can tell us anything about your friends we haven't met yet?"

The three teenage ninja looked at one another before they sighed.

"Okay, we'll start with Team 8." said Sakura, "Their team includes the members Kiba Inuzuka and his dog Akamaru, Shino Aburame, and Hinata Hyuga."

"Kiba is loud, impulsive, short-tempered," Naruto listed the characteristics on his fingers, "and can get frustrated in battle easily if it doesn't go his way. But he's also an awesome fighter when he and Akamaru team up. Even I have a hard time against him sometimes."

"So, personality wise, he's pretty much your twin." Jack said bluntly.

"Yeah exact- Hey!" Everyone chuckled at Jack's joke.

"Next there's Hinata," Ino chirped, "a really sweet girl, you guys will definitely like her. You are going to have to bear with a her a little though at first, even at sixteen she can be pretty shy around new people and..." glancing back at Ratchet, Arcee, and Bulkhead, "...giant, talking, alien robots that she meets."

"And then there is Shino Aburame," Sai said, "just like me he can be hard to read, but he has proven to handle himself on several different missions. Including combat, escort duty, search and seizure, and is a specialist in the secret jutsu of manipulating parasitic insects."

"... So he uses bugs to help him fight?" asked Rafael hesitantly.

"If you put it in simple terms yeah," Shikamaru confirmed.

"Okay..." Miko said, a bit creeped out, "I don't know whether to be impressed or creeped out."

"Not much of a bug person are you?" Yamato chuckled.

"Yeah, I HATE bugs. Especially spiders!"

"Hate is understatement Miko." Jack smiled.

"And the other team?" asked Rafael, hoping to change the subject in Miko's favor.

Everyone, including Kakashi, looked at each other before grimacing.

"Wait, they're that bad." asked Jack.

Team Kakashi and Asuma began to talk at the same time, trying to say something different before pausing and sighing.

"Yeah," they said in unison.

"Well, technically they're all okay on their own," Sakura said, "but if put them together," off to the side she whispered, "especially Lee and Gai-Sensei," before returning to normal, "you better watch out, both in the village and on the battlefield."

"Well, what are they like?" asked Miko in curiousity.

"Well first there's Tenten," said Sakura, "she's very fierce, stubborn,-"

"And scary." Naruto interrupted.

"-but she's a great friend and kunoichi when she's in a good mood."

"Okay," Rafe said with a nod, "and the boys and teacher?"

"Well first there's Neji Hyuga- and before you ask," Shikamaru intervened before Miko could interrupt and ask a question, "yes, he is related to Hinata, they're cousins."

"Personality wise though, he's... complicated." Choji finally said, not able to think of a better word.

"He's that bad?" asked Jack.

"Well-" Choji was interrupted by Ino before he could continue.

"Neji's just had a bit of a hard and complicated past, but he could've turned out a lot worse. He's very serious and mature, and he's had this obsession that people are bound by fate up until a few years ago."

"But he's a true genius nonetheless." Kakashi said, describing one of the other ninja for the first time, "A prodigy, having mastered several techniques from his clan that very few could master in a lifetime."

"Whoa," Rafael said in awe.

"And finally there's Rock Lee and Gai Sensei, or as I like to call them: Bushy-Brow and Bushy-Brow Sensei." Naruto said, leaning his finger in front of his eyebrows, "emphasis on the brows."

"So," Miko said, "they have very thick eyebrows?"

"HUGE eyebrows!" Naruto exaggerated, getting in Miko's face a bit, "so big that they're almost alive!"

Miko, Jack, and Rafael grimaced a bit, trying to imagine how big of eyebrows people have.

"But," said Sakura, "once you get past that, both of them are very nice, but they're also obsessed with training and the 'Power of Youth' and stuff like that."

"Okay..." Jack said.

"Yeah," nodded Kakashi, "when you meet just watch your step."

A sound went off on Ratchet's computer as Optimus stepped into the room. "Energon on the move." asked Arcee.

Bulkhead sighed, "Do the Decepticons ever stop?"

"Ratchet," Optimus addressed, "open the Groundbridge."

Ratchet pulled a lever that opened a green swirling vortex.

"Autobots," Optimus said, "Roll out!"

The other Autobots transformed into their vehicle forms and drove through the swirling vortex, leaving Team Asuma and Team Kakashi in shock at what they had seen.

"Whoa," Naruto, Choji, Ino, Sakura, and Yamato said in unity.

"Yeah," Jack agreed, "We were pretty shocked when we first met them too."

Shikamaru suddenly looked around and noticed that their group was a girl short. "I'm probably going to regret asking, but where's Miko?"

Jack, Rafael, and Ratchet's eyes widened with worry. "Scrap," Ratchet said, "I have get back now!"

"Perhaps we could be of assistance," Kakashi suggested, closing his book, "we can get her for you while you wait for Optimus and the others.

"Are you out of your mind?" Ratchet asked in disbelief, "None of you have even seen an Autobot fight a Decepticon!"

"Look," Shikamaru sighed, "it will be simple. We'll just grab her and bring her back. One of the easiest D-rank missions in the book."

Ratchet looked like he wanted to object, but sighed seeing the logic behind Kakashi and Shikamaru's remarks. He had to stay behind to activate the Groundbridge again when the Autobots wished to return. He opened the Groundbridge as Team Kakashi and Team Asuma jumped from the upper platform.

"Make sure you aren't seen," Ratchet warned.

"Understood!/Got it!/Right!," all the shinobi replied semi unison before charging through the Groundbridge.

"Finally some action!" Naruto yelled before they disappeared.

o~o

A Groundbridge opened up as Team Asuma and Team Kakashi flew out of it. Their hair was a bit messy and all of them had a bit of a headache, which shinobi rarely got. Below them they saw what looked like a cliff with a lake and field at the bottom.

"That's something we're going to have to get used to." Ino said as she fixed her hairclip that had come out a bit in the Groundbridge.

It didn't take long for the group to spot Miko over the cliff's edge taking pictures. "So cool!"

Yamato ran up and grabbed the girl's arm, "Miko," he said in a stern tone, "What are you doing?"

Miko pointed towards the battle. The ninja looked over in total shock. The Autobots were firing at Decepticons like crazy. The odds seemed to be four against forty at best. Even so though, it still looked like an even match.

"Isn't it cool?" Miko asked.

The answer she received were either an annoyed or stern glare from each of the ninja, causing her to shy away a little.

"Do you seriously think," Ino began, "that taking pictures at a place like this is a really good time?"

Miko just shrugged, causing Sakura to growl, "Seriously, you're worse than Naruto sometimes!"

"Hey!" said blonde protested. Miko just smiled.

"Miko," Kakashi addressed, "the only reason we're here is because Ratchet sent us to bring you back to base. So you can either come quietly, or we can use other means of returning you."

Miko groaned. She had been wanting to get some pictures of the Autobots fight and now she was being told she had to go back? No way! It wasn't fair!

"Argh!" a voice suddenly cried out. Everyone looked down to see Arcee be thrown to the ground in pain. The Decepticon towered over her ready to finish her off.

"Arcee!" Naruto shouted in alarm. Before anyone could stop him, Naruto sprinted down the cliff to help her.

"Naruto! Wait!" Shikamaru called out, but Naruto didn't hear him, and if he did he wasn't listening. Sighing in frustration Kakashi quickly jumped down after his student.

"Sakura, Sai, Yamato follow me. Shikamaru, you, Ino, and Choji will keep an eye on Miko." he ordered before charging back after Naruto, the ninja he called following shortly afterwards.

Arcee had taken a shot to the chest and was struggling on the ground. She looked up and saw the 'Con about to end her life. At least she could see Cliffjumper again. As she looked at the sun, believing she was seeing her last ray of light though, she saw something blue... and two figures seemed to be holding it!

The Decepticon must have noticed too, because he looked up just in time to see the blue orb slam right into his face.

"RASENGAN!" Naruto shouted as he buried his attack into the 'Con's face, causing him to fall over and unconscious. Naruto then dropped to the ground with ease right next to Arcee, who's optics widened.

"What are you doing here?" asked Arcee.

"Thank and blame Miko," came the reply. Arcee looked up toward the cliff and did indeed see Miko with Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji on the cliffside. She sighed, Miko really needed to learn to think things through.

"Lightning Blade!" shouted another voice. Arcee turned to her right and saw Kakashi tearing through the battlefield, lightning crackling in his palm as he slammed it into the chest of one of the Decepticons, cutting his spark off and killing him. He then turned to Naruto. "Naruto, how many times must you be told not to rush onto the battlefield like that?"

"Sorry Sensei, but Arcee needed help." Naruto said pointing at the female Autobot as she stood back up.

"Wood Style: Tree Bind Eternal Barrier!" came another voice called as the Autobots saw Yamato slam his hands into the earth. Seconds later, under the feet of two of the Decepticons, huge tree roots rose from the ground and wrapped around them like octopus tentacles. The 'Cons tried to tear or shoot them away, but the more they struggled, the more roots and vines grabbed them. Eventually, the could no longer move, and both cried out in pain as the branches crushed their faces and sparks before they disappeared into the trunks of two trees that had replaced where they stood.

'Wait, where are Sakura and Sai?' thought Arcee, before a shadow suddenly flashed over her head for a moment, causing her to look skyward and she saw a small shape in the air. It looked like a bird. It suddenly dived downward and she saw that it was a bird, with two passengers on its back. One of the passengers jumped off it and started falling to the earth with the heel of her foot high in the air.

"Cherry Blossom Crush!" Sakura yelled her heel made contact with the ground with four 'Cons within a few feet of her. Her heel didn't just hit the ground though, the force and strength of it was so intense that the ground gave way underneath and created a crater in the ground, dragging the 'Cons in with the dirt.

Bulkhead and Bumblebee shielded their faces with their hands as flying debris and rocks came at them from the point of impact. After seeing the crater, Bulkhead's jaw dropped. "Bee, make a note. Don't mess with her... EVER!"

"Agreed!" Bumblebee nodded immediately in agreement.

"What ridiculous strength!" Optimus said in shock. Optimus then got another shock as what looked like white chinese style lions start to fall from the sky and maul at the 'Cons that were unfortunate enough to have one land on them. Looking up at the bird they all saw earlier, they saw Sai drawing something on a scroll at inhuman speed before making a handsign in front of his face.

"Ninja Art: Super Beast Scroll!" next thing they knew, more lions jumped from the surface of the scroll and landed and bit at more Decepticons they caught.

The Autobots then watched in shock as Naruto quickly made an army of about a hundred shadow clones before they charged at the 'Cons screaming battle cries in their wake.

Miko laughed as she saw the Decepticons easily being clobbered by the Naruto clones and quickly snapped some photos. The Autobots continued to shoot at the 'Cons as more continued to pool into the area.

One Decepticon was unfortunate enough to be punched into the ground by Sakura's fist, but another that she failed to see snuck up behind her and raised a battle hammer it was carrying.

"Sakura!" Ino yelled in alarm. Sakura turned around in alarm to see the Decepticon tower above her and braced herself for the hammer's impact... that never came.

Instead the Decepticon found himself being launched into the air by a flash of green, being kicked in the face several times in a row.

"HOW DARE YOU TRY AND HURT SAKURA YOU FIEND!" cried the attacker in fury as he delivered one more kick to the Decepticon's face. Next thing the 'Con knew, he felt himself being tightly wrapped together by something. He was so tight that he couldn't break free of the bindings. He then felt something flip over onto his back and clutch the sides as they turned downward and plummeted to the ground, leaving a crater as it made impact.

The attacker, now revealed to be a bushy-browed, bowl-cut, black haired boy in a green jumpsuit, wearing the same flak military jacket as the other Leaf ninja, orange leg warmers, a Leaf forehead protector around his waist, and had his hands wrapped in white bandages, leaped out from the dust cloud completely unharmed and landed in front of Sakura, who's face brightened in recognition.

"Lee!" she exclaimed. The bushy-brow teen winked and gave her the 'nice guy' pose in response, his teeth glimmering the sunlight.

"I am not the only one either Sakura," he proclaimed as he pointed toward the opposite cliff that Team Asuma was occupying. Sakura looked to see that Lee was indeed telling the truth, for sprinting down it was the rest of Team Gai, and Team Kurenai trailing not too far behind them.

"What just happened?" asked Miko from the cliff after seeing Lee's display of taijutsu.

"Reinforcements." Shikamaru said with relief as they watched Team Gai and Kurenai leap from the opposing cliff to join the brawl.

Pausing in their own combat, the Autobots and Decepticons looked toward the commotion near Lee's assault to see several more figures descending the cliff.

The one leading them seemed to be the adult version of the boy had just saved Sakura for he wore the same jumpsuit, flak jacket, orange leg warmers, Leaf forehead protector, bowl cut hair, and eyebrows. Only difference was that this man wasn't wearing white bandages.

The other next to him the 'Bots and 'Cons alike almost mistook for a female, until they took a closer look of his body structure, for he had the longest hair they had ever seen on a male, which was dark brown and tied in a low ponytail with a few strands of it framing his face. He had a white shirt with loose sleeves, closed on the right shoulder, with a fastener running down the right part of the chest, matching white pants, with a dark navy grey apron tied around his waist and black shinobi sandals. His most distinct characteristic were his eyes though, which seemed to have only the outline of a pupil and several veins bulging around it.

The first girl (real girl) they saw descending had dark brown eyes and hair which she had in Chinese-style buns on either side of her head with short fringe-bangs falling over her forehead protector on her forehead. For her outfit she sported a long-sleeved white blouse with a high collar and red fastener and edges paired with similarly colored, puffy pants that looked like a hakama, with the exposed parts of her legs near the waist covered in bandages. She had brown fingerless gloves, open-toed sandals with low heels, and the shoes extend to the lower ankles. She also had a giant scroll strapped on her back.

Following the her was another male that was wearing dark round sunglasses, a jacket hanging down to his knees with a hood that obstructed a majority of his face. He had black pants with black sandals and another jacket below the first with a high, upturned collar. He also had a satchel on his back.

Another boy next to him was riding on a large white dog and was wearing a leather form fitting black jacket, with zips over the chest and sleeves, along with black pants and sandals, also zipped, matching the jacket. He had messy brown hair, sharp black eyes with vertical slit-like pupils, and pronounced canine teeth He also had some distinctive red fang markings on his cheeks. The dog he was riding seemed to vaguely represent the Great Pyrenees dog breed.

The final figure was also female. She had dark blue waist length hair with shoulder-length strands that framed her face, and the same strange bulged eyes as the long haired male. She also donned an attire comprised of a loose fitting, lavender and cream hooded-jacket with lavender cuffs over mesh armor with navy blue pants and black, low-heeled sandals. She wore her forehead protector around her neck, its color being black.

"Lee," the bun-haired girl scolded as they all landed near him, "how many times have we told you not to rush in like that?"

"I could not simply allow Sakura to fall to an enemy Tenten!" Lee argued, causing Tenten to face palm.

"Let it go Tenten," the long-haired boy sighed, "you know as well as I do that he won't listen."

"Forget that!" the boy on the dog said as he leapt off his companion and got into a fighting stance with the rest of them, "It's time to kick some robot heine!"

"Right!" the adult form of Lee exclaimed, "Everyone spread out and start attacking. When you've taken down one, move on to another!"

"Right!" everyone said semi-unison before leaping away to different areas.

Kakashi chuckled as he saw his rival and the other Teams jumping into the fray. 'Perfect timing Gai.'

"Who are they?" asked Miko as she looked at the newly arrived to Team Kurenai and Team Gai.

"That Miko," Ino smiled, "is Team Gai and Team Kurenai!"

"Really?" Miko's face lit up.

The seven newly arrived shinobi rushed toward the robot brawl, dodging blasts from the Decepticons in their wake. Gai landed near Kakashi along with Lee. While Tenten and Sakura were shooting barrages of super punches, kicks, and weapons at the 'Cons, Neji and Hinata had sprinted off to assist Naruto. Kiba and Akamaru went to help Sai, whom was having trouble keeping a 'Con back because his bird had been shot down moments ago. Shino was currently backing up Yamato's wood style jutsu with his insect jutsu.

"I was wondering when you would finally show up Gai." Kakashi remarked as the two senseis stood back to back.

"No way I'd miss a fight like this Kakashi," Gai said with his trademark grin.

Naruto would've been skewered in the back by an incoming Decepticon if the Hyuga duo hadn't blasted it away with an Air Palm attack. "Neji! Hinata!" Naruto exclaimed as they landed by his side, "About time you two showed up!"

"Is there a plan here Naruto?" asked Hinata.

"Not really," Naruto admitted, hiding the fact that he was the reason the ninja even got involved in the fight at all, "just focus on getting out alive."

"Real specific." Neji deadpanned.

Miko continued to snap pictures as Team Asuma kept a close eye on her. The battle had started to get more intense as more 'Cons seemed to keep coming from no where. The Ino-Shika-Cho trio knew that they could help, but Kakashi given them orders to stay put unless completely necessary.

"FANG OVER FANG!" Kiba shouted as he and Akamaru spun and drilled into a row of Decepticons as Sai started to bind some of the fallen Decepticons with his ink snakes.

"Hidden Jutsu: Beetle Sphere!" Shino said as his insects began to swarm over the Decepticons that were successful enough to evade Yamato's wood style.

"Where the hell are all these things coming from!" a frustrated Tenten asked as she took out two weapon scrolls and placed them on either side of her. "Rising Twin Dragons!" she shouted after making a couple handsigns. The scrolls unraveled in the form of two smoky dragons before dispersing with Tenten in the middle, summoning and throwing weapon after weapon at the 'Cons charging. They didn't seem to be do much against their metal armor, but it did cause them to stop and shield themselves.

"Hey!" Miko said, getting the attention of Team Asuma, "since you guys are ninja and have been in plenty of battles, shouldn't at least one of you be able to do something really cool and awesome that'll make the 'Cons run?"

The trio blinked before Shikamaru smacked himself in the forehead. He was such an idiot! Naruto had his Sage Mode, technically making him the most powerful ninja in the village! He should have told Naruto to use it when he had the chance! Ino and Choji were thinking the same thing.

Ino gave Miko the stink eye before saying in a voice that said 'if you don't follow my instructions exactly, I'll kill you!' "Miko, stay put! There's something we need to do and we don't want to be worrying about you while we do that! Got it?!""

Miko immediately nodded her head, "Yeah, yeah! Got it!"

"Good!" Shikamaru grunted before he, Choji, and Ino jumped down the cliff to join the brawl.

The ninja all looked up in the sky to see more of the 'Cons descending onto the battlefront. Before most of them could land though, Neji and Hinata fired another wave of Air Palms into the air, knocking most of the 'Cons out of the sky.

Most of the 'Bots had started to resort to hand to hand combat by now as well. Optimus's hands transformed to swords and beheaded a group of 'Cons in front of him while Bulkhead smashed some with his wrecking ball. Arcee's guns retracted and were replaced with her arm blades, and flipped over one of the 'Cons before slicing him to ribbons. Though Bumblebee had no secondary weapons on him since he wasn't in the warrior class just yet he resorted to the rare form of taijutsu known as boxing.

Observing the battlefield below him, Kakashi saw that the Autobots were starting to get outnumbered and overwhelmed by the Decepticon horde. Most of the shinobi, including himself, were also starting to run low on chakra. This was bad! Looking to his right, he saw that Team Asuma had descended the cliff and rushing to where Naruto was located.

'What are they doing?' Kakashi asked himself, but made no move to follow. He knew that if Shikamaru had some sort of plan that forced them to run to the battlefield, it was bound to work.

"Naruto!" Shikamaru shouted, catching the blonde's attention as he blasted another 'Con with his Rasengan.

"What?" asked Naruto with great urgency.

"Naruto, how long does it take to get into Sage Mode?" asked the genius.

Naruto looked at the Ino-Shika-Cho trio before smacking himself in the face. Sage Mode! How could he have forgotten about it?! He should have started using it from the start! He sighed.

"Usually five minutes at the least, but it might take longer because we're on a different planet!"

"Troublesome," Shikamaru muttered, as he formed the sign for Shadow Stitching, "alright, Naruto head back toward Miko, it's a safe distance away. We'll hold them off until you're ready."

"Got it!" the blonde leapt toward the cliff.

"Battle formation: Ino-Shika-Cho!" Shikamaru ordered with companions, "Neji, Hinata, go help the others."

"A-alright!" Hinata nodded.

"Understood." Neji answered as he and the heiress leapt off to the other battlegrounds.

"Formation E! Ino! Choji!" Shikamaru knelt and cupped his hands into a hand seal, "Shadow Grab Jutsu!"

"Expansion Jutsu!" Choji immediately grew to be about the size of Optimus Prime before immediately bending over into a ball and spinning rapidly in place. Shikamaru's shadow then proceeded to grapple to Choji's. Ino then had her eyes shut and scanned the area with her Sensory Jutsu. At that moment there were about fifteen enemies surrounding them.

'Fifteen enemies!' she thought before clasping her hand onto Shikamaru's head 'Alright! Lock on... Perception Transmission Jutsu!'

'Human Bullet Yo-yo!' they all exclaimed in their heads.

Within his own mind, Shikamaru saw the outlines of several Decepticons surrounding them, along with the outline of a tall man holding a large yo-yo in his hand. In reality, Shikamaru's shadow suddenly lashed out with Choji in tow, clobbering two of the Vehicons with just the first smash. One of them even tried to sneak up from behind, but even though they all had their eyes closed, the Choji-yo-yo suddenly lashed backward and smashed it to the ground.

Many of the Autobots widened their optics at the sight. The way the three combined their abilities was similar to how the Decepticon Devastator was formed by several constructicons to make something more powerful and dangerous. Miko grinned at the awesome move of Team Asuma and quickly snapped a picture. Naruto leapt beside a split second later startling her.

"What are you doing here?!" she exclaimed, "Shouldn't you be helping your friends?"

"Miko," Naruto addressed in almost monotone as he got into the lotus position for meditation, "I need to concentrate for a little bit, so I would appreciate it if you wouldn't bother me!"

Miko had no idea what was going on but nodded and turned her attention away from the blonde and back to the fighting Bots.

"So we'll have to hold these guys off until Naruto gets back Kakashi?" asked Gai as he and Lee stood back to back with the famous Copy Ninja.

"It appear so," he nodded, "Naruto usually takes about five minutes to enter that state, but we're in a different environment."

"Then it would appear we will have to hold them off until Naruto is ready!" Lee proclaimed.

"Indeed!" Gai nodded before he and Lee rushed another 'Con, smashing him head first into the ground with a powerful kick.

"Don't these things ever stop?!" Tenten quipped in exasperation as she threw more kunai from her scrolls.

"How many of them do you think their are?" asked Kiba as he, Sai, and Akamaru, rushed to where the two girls were. They were momentarily joined by Hinata, Yamato, Shino, and Neji after. One of the Decepticon heads landed near the feet of the Hyuga genius and he saw a bluish liquid leaking out of it. Neji suddenly got an idea.

"All of you," Neji called to the others, "listen up!"

Neji explained to them the idea that he had before they all nodded and proceeded to form a large circle around the 'Cons while Neji, Kiba, Akamaru, Sakura, and Tenten stayed by the head. Yamato, Shino, and Sai then proceeded to use their jutsu to hold the 'Cons in place so they wouldn't have time to transform or dodge. Sakura, using her strength, lifted the head over her head before launching it at the immobilized 'Cons. Tenten and Kiba both took out a kunai with a paper bomb attached to them and threw them at the head. Yamato, Shino, and Sai, rushed back and joined the others just as the kunai made contact with the head. After the head collided with the 'Cons, the paper bombs activated and the head exploded. The Hyuga duo quickly created a barrier with their Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation to shield them from the attack.

"Good thinking Neji!" Yamato commented after they stopped spinning.

Back up on top of the hill, Naruto was still in the lotus position, and Miko watched in awe as she saw what appeared to be orange eye shadow pigmentations around his eyes slowly appear on his face. His eyes suddenly snapped open to reveal yellow, toad-like irides in place of his normal blue eyes.

"Alright," he said standing up, "here it goes!" He proceeded to make several shadow clones before jumping down the cliff. Sensing a huge spike in chakra the other ninja turned to the source to see that Naruto had already finished his transformation. He and his clones were currently proceeding to form multiple Rasengans.

Knowing what was coming, Kakashi signaled to the other shinobi to retreat. He then called toward the Autobot leader who had just slashed a Vehicon in half.

"Optimus!" the leader of the 'Bots turned to Kakashi, who was pointing towards Naruto, "Retreat to a safe location, now!"

Optimus looked to where Naruto was coming and saw that the blonde and the clones' blue energy balls were starting to grow to an alarming rate, becoming almost as big as Bulkhead's body!

"Autobots!" he commanded, "Fall back!"

Following his orders, the rest of the Autobots transformed and sped off after the ninja to a safe spot. Naruto and his clones then leapt forward and held their Massive Rasengans in the air as they hovered over the 'Cons.

"Sage Art: Massive Rasengan Barrage!" they exclaimed in unison as they all smashed their Sage Chakra enhanced Rasengans into the remaining 'Cons. The few 'Cons who had been able to survive the barrage immediately transformed and tried to make a fly for it.

"No you don't!" Naruto shouted as he and two other clones created a Rasenshuriken in his hand before launching it at them, hitting one before expanding to destroy the others, sending them spiralling to the ground.

With the last of his Sage chakra used, Naruto collapsed onto his knees and began to pant heavily.

"Naruto!" Sakura cried as she quickly scampered to his side and proceeded to heal him, Ino, Hinata, and the rest of the Leaf Ninja following close behind.

The Autobots transformed back from their vehicle forms and surveyed the battleground in shock. This teenage ninja... this boy had the strength to pull something like that off? There certainly seemed to be more to these new human allies than what met the eye.

"So what do we do with these guys?" asked Tenten, pointing to the Autobots.

"That was so awesome!" a voice yelled. Everyone turned to see a smiling Miko carrying her cell phone in her hands, "That was the coolest thing I've ever seen! And I got it all on my phone!"

This caused all members of Team Asuma and Kakashi to sweatdrop and sigh in irritation. The other ninja who had just arrived looked confused.

"Who's the chick with the weird hair?" Kiba asked no one in particular. Akamaru barked in response.

Review Answers:

To Jose19: That's true. I think that's why Hinata such a loving character. She's a prime example that says that if you work hard enough and set your mind to it, you can do anything!

To Blizzarzord: Thanks for the response! Haha! Kiba's going to be sooo ticked with Miko. I guess if I get stuck on which characters should be in certain episodes, I can come to you huh?

To Guest: Is this enough action for you?

To TheDeathly-Z: Yes, these first couple chapters I have gotten from the Last Airbender one, but there will start to be changes in the coming chapters. Thanks for liking it.
