Chapter 1: The Journey Finally Starts
Author's Note: THE STORY HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED! Get ready for an epic Pokémon story featuring Naruto characters and such.
4 YEARS LATER
"NARUTO UZUMAKI-NAMIKAZE! WAKE UP OR YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE TO PICK YOUR STARTER POKEMON!" the voice of Kushina Uzumaki shouts throughout the household. Minato winces at loud tone of his wife and silent prays to Naruto that he arrives on time so he doesn't have to face the wrath of Kushina. Meanwhile, the Ninetails Kurama looks up at his master.
'Crap! Crap! Crap!' Naruto thought as he bursts open the door of his bedroom. His hair is messy while his clothes appear hastily put on. He runs down the stairs, only to trip on one of his shoelaces. As a result, he falls tumbling down. Minato winces at the display while Kushina is at the bottom of the staircase holding a backpack.
Naruto is currently wearing an orange and blue jacket with a white collar, a white swirl with a tassel on the left side, and a red swirl crest on the back. He's also wearing orange pants with blue sandals. Underneath the jacket is a black shirt with a red swirl on the front. The now 12 year old blonde boy gets up from his fall with a sheepish grin on his face.
"Didn't I tell you to set your alarm clock before you went to bed?" Kushina asks her son, giving him the backpack.
"I did. Well, I thought I did," Naruto mutters.
"Well, you better hurry now. I doubt Professor Sarutobi has much starters left," the redhead tells him. "Now, I've packed all your clothes for you to wear, your Pokegear to call us for emergencies or at least give us updates, and traveling money for spending. I believe that's everything you're going to need for your journey."
"Thanks Mom," the blonde boy says, giving his mother a smile.
"Oh, I'm going to miss you," Kushina mutters, wrapping her son into a tight hug.
"Kushina, Naruto is on a hurry. You told him that the professor won't have that much starters left," Minato tells his wife as he walks over to the two, facing his son. "Now Naruto, I wish you good luck on your journey. There's no doubt that you're going to enjoy it."
"I will. And I promise, I'll win the Konoha Pokémon League and become the new Konoha League Champion. Believe it!" Naruto vows. The former champion chuckles at his son's enthusiasm.
"Remember while winning Pokémon battles is good and all, that's not what the journey of a Pokémon trainer is about. What a Pokémon journey is truly about is bonding with your Pokémon while having fun along the way," Minato advises his son.
"Don't worry. I know," the blonde boy states.
"Good. Go out there and have a great journey," Minato encourages.
"Thanks Dad," Naruto says before heading to the front door. "Bye guys, I love you two so much!" After which, the blonde runs off outside to Professor Sarutobi's laboratory for his first Pokémon.
Standing outside the gates of Professor Sarutobi's laboratory, 12 year old Sasuke Uchiha is ready to start on his journey. He was the first one to receive his starter Pokémon, five empty Pokeballs, and a registered Pokedex. He made sure to arrive early so he won't be swarmed by his fangirls. Being the son of a successful business owner and the younger brother of the Konoha League Champion, Sasuke has received a very popular reputation. However, it did bring him a lot of unwanted attention that he couldn't escape from.
Sasuke actually had to travel from Sugiyama, the city where the headquarters of Uchiha Industries is located at. Fugaku, Mikoto, and Itachi wanted to say goodbye to the young boy before he taken by the company's private jet to Sakaki City, the closest major city near Sarutobi's laboratory. The lab itself is in Red Town, the same town his childhood friend/rival Naruto lives in.
Sasuke is currently wearing a navy blue, short-sleeved shirt with a high collar, white shorts, and white arm warmers. The back of his shirt has his family crest. He's also wearing blue sandals with long white socks reaching up to his ankles. He still retains the same hairstyle he had from four years ago.
Sasuke takes out a Pokeball, which contains the starter Pokémon that he chosen from Professor Sarutobi. He opens up the capsule, sending out the new Pokémon. Sasuke takes out his Pokedex and uses the machine to scan its Pokémon, getting information about it.
The starter appears to be a small, bipedal Pokémon with bluish fur on top of its body, and a milky color on the underside. It has echidna-like features due to the flames on its back while its general body shape is shrew-like. Its eyes are closed, and it has a long, thin snout. It lacks claws on its forelimbs but has a single claw on each hind foot.
"Cyndaquil, the Fire Mouse Pokémon. It is timid and always curls itself up in a ball. If attacked, it flares up its back for protection."
Cyndaquil looks around its new surroundings, scared of this new situation. The Fire-type remembers being in the laboratory only a while ago but now all of a sudden, it's outside with a human stranger it has never met. Meanwhile, Sasuke is looking over Cyndaquil's other information in the Pokedex.
Due to Cyndaquil being a start Pokémon, it's currently on a low level. From the information he's getting, Sasuke sees that the Fire-type only knows two moves so far. Tackle and Leer. True to what the Pokedex says, Cyndaquil has a Timid Nature. Another interesting fact is that the Fire-type is a male.
"Hey, you're scared aren't you?" Sasuke asks, catching the attention of his starter Pokémon. Cyndaquil looks up, staring at the black haired boy. "I get it. You're given a new shift in your life, and don't know what to do. However, it doesn't mean you'll have to stay scared. As your new trainer, I can help you become stronger and overcome your timid nature. You know longer have to worry about anything."
Cyndaquil takes in the words of its new trainer and no longer feels scared and tense. The Fire-type finds itself willing to trust this human stranger. If it can become stronger, then it'll accept its trainer's help. Cyndaquil lets out a squeak, letting its new trainer know of its acceptance.
"That's good to know," Sasuke says, giving it a small smile. "Our next stop will be Sakaki City. It's best that we leave now before any unwanted attention comes to our way." Cyndaquil tilts its head, wondering what his trainer meant by that statement. Nevertheless, it follows Sasuke as he makes his way to Sakaki City.
However, Sasuke isn't the only trainer heading to Sakaki City. Making its way to an airport in the town is a black private jet decorated with red clouds. Inside the jet are three occupants. One of them, of course, being the pilot. The other two are 12 years old rookie trainers like Sasuke, Hikaru and Karin Uzumaki.
Hikaru is currently wearing a white fleece jacket with black lines. On the left portion of the jacket's chest is a small red cloud while a larger version is on the back. Underneath the jacket, he's wearing a plain black T-shirt. He's also wearing red pants and a pair of black and white sneakers.
Karin herself is currently wearing a light purple chanel jacket with a small red cloud on the left portion of its chest area and a larger version on the back of it. Underneath the jacket, she's wearing a red T-shirt. She's also wearing black shorts that reaches down to her knees and a pair of red and light purple sneakers.
"This is going to be so exciting, traveling in an entire new region!" Hikaru exclaims with excitement.
"You sure you can travel an entire region by yourself?" Karin asks, raising an eyebrow of doubt.
"I would've if not for Mom telling us to travel together," the male twin answers. "Seriously, you and I are going to face the gyms to compete in Konoha's Pokémon League. Wouldn't it make sense if we go solo and compete without knowing each other's battle strategy? Make things more challenging for us?"
"We don't have to watch each other's gym battles. Plus, Mom and Dad traveled with each other during their journeys since they were kids," the female twin points out. "Besides, you and I both know that I will come out on top thanks to my starter." She takes out a Pokeball and opens it, releasing a Pokémon.
Karin's starter is a small, pale green Pokémon with a darker necklace of buds. It has a large head in proportion to the rest of its body with large red eyes that appear to have no pupils. It has four short legs with a single nailed toe on each and a small tail. A distinguishing feature is the large leaf on the top of its head, which appears to be longer than the rest of its body.
"Chikorita, the Leaf Pokémon. It loves to bask in the sunlight. It uses the leaf on its head to seek out warm places."
"Oh please, you only have the advantage right now because you chose your starter right after I did!" Hikaru accuses. He takes out his own Pokeball and releases the Pokémon that resides inside it.
Hikaru's starter resembles a bipedal, blue crocodile with red spines on its back and tail. The spine on its back is larger with additional ridges. Its head is large, with ridges above its eyes and most of its size is composed of the snout and jaws. There are two visible teeth on the tip of its upper jaw, and two rows of three teeth on each side of its lower jaw.
On its chest is a yellow, somewhat V-shaped pattern that extends to its arms with a line bisecting the pattern. It also has five sharp claws and three toes. Its eyes are red and surrounded by a dark blue or black pattern.
"Totodile, the Big Jaw Pokémon. It is small but rough and tough. It won't hesitate to take a bite out of anything that moves."
Now in a new environment, Totodile instantly begins to explore the room the twins are in. As for Chikorita, it lies down and stays by its trainer's side. Due to the twins recently choosing them a few days ago, the two starter Pokémon are at the same level Sasuke's Cyndaquil is at.
Totodile only knows two moves: Scratch and Leer. Chikorita also knows only two moves: Tackle and Growl. The Water-type is currently running back and forth in enjoyment, showing off its Jolly nature. The Grass-type is currently staring at its trainer and wonders what she has in store for it, showing off its Docile nature. An interesting fact, Totodile is a male while Chikorita is a female.
"It doesn't really matter anyway. I'm going to form the strongest Pokémon team and will leave you and every other trainer in the dust!" Hikaru declares.
"Hmph. I like to see you try," Karin responds with a smirk. "Anyway, how do you think our friends are doing?"
"Well, Aito and Suiren are having their Pokémon journey in the Taki region. I always found that to be a weird choice of region for them to travel in. Rei, Ajisai, and Fuyo are traveling in the Kiri region to for their Pokémon journey. Thankfully, that region reformed due to their new champion," the male twin answers.
"Yeah. At least we all decided to meet back in the Ame region once our travels have finished," the female twin points out. She looks out the window and lets out a sigh of relief. "We're finally at the airport in Sakaki City."
"Nice. The sooner we get off, the sooner we can start on our journey," Hikaru says. "Totodile, return." He holds up his Pokeball and a red beam is shot out, bringing the Water-type back into the tool.
"You too Chikorita," Karin tells her Pokémon. She returns the Grass-type back into its Pokeball. Grabbing their backpacks and supplies, the twins head to the doorway as the plane lands in the foreign region.
Meanwhile at Professor Sarutobi's laboratory, Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze has finally arrived for his starter Pokémon. The blonde pants after the running he had to do to keep himself from being late. The old professor is seen waiting for him along with a couple of Pokeballs resting on a table beside him.
"Hey Gramps, I'm ready for my Pokémon!" Naruto calls out, walking towards the table.
"It's about time. I was worried that you might've changed your mind or something," Professor Sarutobi responds.
"Ah please! Nothing is going to keep me from starting my dream of becoming the Konoha League Champion!" the blonde exclaims.
"Glad to see that you still have that enthusiasm of yours," the old professor says. "Now then, you may choose your starter Pokémon while I get you your Pokedex."
"Wait, did Sasuke and Sakura came here already?" Naruto asks.
"Ah yes. Sasuke was actually the first one to receive his starter. He actually came here very early," Professor Sarutobi answers.
"Really? Which Pokémon did he chose?" the blonde asks.
"I can't say. He specifically asked me not to tell anyone," the old professor replies, causing Naruto to frown in disappointment. "As for Sakura, she came here at the exact same time as Ino. Both of them chose a Grass-type as their starter, with Ino choosing a Snivy while Sakura chose a Bulbasaur."
"I see. Did anyone else come here before me?" Naruto asks.
"Of course. You are the last person to arrive after all," Professor Sarutobi responds. "Shino chose a Turtwig. Hinata chose a Fennekin. Choji chose a Tepig. Shikamaru chose a Treecko. Kiba was the only one who didn't choose a starter from me since he picked his Growlithe as his starter but still came here to pick up his Pokedex."
"Oh man, even Shikamaru gotten ahead of me," the blonde mutters in disappointment, considering that Shikamaru has been known to be the most extremely laziest kid in Red Town.
"It's alright Naruto. Let this serve as a reminder to you," the old professor advises him. "Now then, please chose your starter Pokémon." Naruto walks closer to the table and begins to inspect the Pokeballs on it. He didn't know which Pokémon was inside which, but it didn't matter to the blonde. What matters is working together with the Pokémon that he chose.
"I choose this one!" Naruto announces, instantly picking up a Pokeball right up. He opens the ball, releasing the Pokémon that was inside it.
Naruto's new starter is a bipedal Pokémon resembling a chimpanzee. Its fur is primarily a shade of orange, though its face, outer ears, underbelly, hands, and feet are light yellow. Its rear has a small, round, red patch. Its ears are large in comparison to its head size and red inside and has two pointed teeth in its upper jaw. It also has red markings nearly surrounding its eyes, a swirl-like symbol on its chest, and five fingers on its hands with three toes on its feet. Its last feature is a swirly crest of hair on its head.
"A good choice if I say so myself," Professor Sarutobi praises as he hands the Pokedex to the blonde. Naruto takes the device and uses it to scan his new Pokémon.
"Chimchar, the Chimp Pokémon. It agilely scales sheer cliffs to live atop craggy mountains. Before going to sleep, it extinguishes the flame on its tail to prevent fires."
Naruto looks into the Pokedex to find more information about the Fire-Type. Due to being starter level, Chimchar only knows two moves: Scratch and Leer. It also possesses the Brave nature and happens to be a male.
"Hey Chimchar, let's hard together and become champions!" Naruto exclaims, earning a cheer of approval from the Fire-type.
"I can tell that you're going to be best friends," Professor Sarutobi states. "Here are your five Pokeballs to start off with." The old professor hands the blonde five empty Pokeballs, which he places into his backpack.
"Thanks Gramps. I'm off to start my Pokémon journey!" Naruto exclaims as he heads out of the lab with Chimchar at his side.
At the Pokémon Center in Sakaki City, Sasuke has finished calling his parents about his update on his Pokémon journey. He promised his mother that he would call them after he chose his starter from Professor Sarutobi. Starting from here, he will go challenge the eight gyms before participating in the Pokémon League. Right now, he's registering as an official contender in the town's Pokémon Center.
"Excuse me, Miss Joy. Where can we register for the region's Pokémon League?" a male voice asks.
"Of course. Its right over there where that young man is at," Nurse Joy instructs. Sasuke turns around, wondering who's going to compete with him for the Pokémon League. He sees a pair of redheaded twins, one boy and one girl. The Uchiha stares at them before he notices the red cloud emblems on their jackets. The twins past him, registering themselves for the Pokémon League. The female twin moves the corner of her eye towards Sasuke, taking notice of the stare.
"Scouting the competition?" she asks, catching his attention. The male twin turns his head, facing Sasuke as well.
"You two are competing in the Pokémon League?" Sasuke asks.
"Yeah, we came to challenge all eight gyms of this region," the male twin answers.
"You're from the Ame region, aren't you? I can tell by the Akatsuki logos on your jackets," the Uchiha deduces.
"That's right. I'm Karin, and this is my brother Hikaru," the female twin introduces.
"Yo," Hikaru greets.
"Your names sound familiar, as if I heard them before," Sasuke says.
"I bet you have. We're the children of the Ame region's current Pokémon League champion who also happens to be the owner of Akatsuki Industries," Karin explains, surprising Sasuke.
"My older brother told me about a pair of twins he helped taught when he partnered with your company in the Ame region," Sasuke responds. Four years ago, Itachi told his family that he would partner up with Akatsuki Industries as well as being a part of the Ame region's league while still champion of the Konoha region. Since then, he acted as a bridge between Akatsuki Industries and Uchiha Industries.
"Older brother? Oh, you're talking about Itachi which makes you Sasuke," Hikaru states. "He always talks about you. He's a great member of our Elite Four and a cool person. We came here to see if we can overthrow him as champion so he can be a full-fledged member of the Akatsuki League's Elite Four."
"Well if anyone's going to defeat my brother for the championship, it's going to be me!" the Uchiha declares.
"Is that so?" Karin teases with a smirk. "You'll have to go through us in order to win the tournament."
"Then so be it," Sasuke says. "In fact, I challenge both of you to a Pokémon battle!" Hikaru's ears perk up at the challenge declared upon him and his sister, and the male twin forms a grin of excitement.
"Sure, we'll accept your challenge!" Hikaru states. "So, how are we going to do it? Karin and I only have our starters with us, so are you going to battle us one after the other?"
"No need. While I was on my way to this place, I caught a Pokémon. Therefore, we'll have a double battle," the Uchiha answers.
"Sounds good. The Pokémon Center has a makeshift field right next to it outside. We'll have our battle there," Karin tells him.
The scene changes to the battlefield right next to the Pokémon Center. At one end, Sasuke is standing by himself while Hikaru and Karin are standing side by side at the other end. Some people began to gather as they are intrigued by the upcoming battle. The young Uchiha takes out two Pokeballs while the twins each takes out one.
"Totodile, time for action!" Hikaru shouts, throwing out his capsule.
"Chikorita, prepare for battle!" Karin shouts as well, throwing her Pokeball.
"Cyndaquil, Poochyena, let's show them how it's done!" Sasuke yells, sending out his own Pokémon. All four Pokémon are released onto the field. Totodile appears to be energized, eager for a fight. Chikorita appears next to the Water-type, ready to follow its master's orders. Cyndaquil looks around in confusion while the Pokémon next it stands guard.
Sasuke's new Pokémon appears to be a quadruped one similar in appearance to hyenas and canines. Its body is primarily gray with a black face throat, paws, and belly. Its eyes are red with yellow sclerae and has a red nose. Its lower jaw has two pointed teeth sticking out, and the fur at the base of its tail is rumpled and shaggy.
"A Poochyena, huh?" Hikaru mutters as he takes out his Pokedex to scan the Pokémon. "Big Bro Hidan has its evolved form."
"Poochyena, the Bite Pokémon. At first sight, Poochyena takes a bite at anything that moves. This Pokémon chases after prey until the victim becomes exhausted. However, it may turn tail if the prey strikes back."
Due to not having Poochyena in his team, the only other data Hikaru can have access to is its typing (Dark-type) and its gender (male).
"Since you're the one who challenged us, you get to go first," Karin states.
"Fine with me," Sasuke says. "Cyndaquil, Poochyena, use Tackle!" Both Pokémon obeys their trainer and race towards their opponents.
"Totodile, wait for Cyndaquil to get close and use Scratch!" Hikaru shouts.
"Chikorita, show that Poochyena your Tackle!" Karin orders.
Chikorita and Poochyena ran towards each other, tackling each other. Both receives damage, though the Dark-type took in a little bit more than the Grass-type. As for Cyndaquil, it gotten close to Totodile only to be scratched by the Water-type. The Fire-type got knocked back but is still ready to continue fighting.
"Leer!" Sasuke and Hikaru shouts at the same time. Cyndaquil and Totodile glare at one another with their eyes glowing light blue, lowering each other's defenses.
"Chikorita, use Tackle on Cyndaquil quickly!" Karin tells her Pokémon. The Grass-type moves away from Poochyena and charges toward the Fire-type.
"Stop it with Tackle, Poochyena," the young Uchiha says. The Dark-type begins chase, but Chikorita is ahead due to its head start. Cyndaquil is still using Leer on Totodile and vice versa but suddenly stops when it receives a strong tackle from the Grass-type. Poochyena catches up to Chikorita and tackles the starter, knocking it away from the Fire-type.
"This is your chance Totodile! Use Scratch on Poochyena!" Hikaru commands. The Water-type heads forward and delivers a series of scratches on the Dark-type. Poochyena yelps at the amount of damage it receives and is beginning to show signs of fatigue.
"Cyndaquil, his Totodile's physical defense is still lower than before thanks to Leer," Sasuke states. "Use Tackle!" Cyndaquil charges toward its opponent to unleash its attack.
"Not so fast! Chikorita, use Growl on Cyndaquil!" Karin orders. The Grass-type opens its mouth and lets out a high, piercing growl that distorts the air. The Fire-type gets hit by the attack, stumbling for a bit but continues forward with its objective. Soon enough, Cyndaquil is able to land a tackle on Totodile but the damage done is significantly weaker than it was intended to be. The growl Chikorita used lowered the Fire-type's physical attack.
"Totodile, Cyndaquil's close by," Hikaru says. "Retaliate with Scratch!" The Water-type attacks the Fire-type, using its small claws to scratch it multiple times. Cyndaquil cries out in pain, getting ready to faint.
"Don't give up! Poochyena, Cyndaquil, use Tackle on that Totodile!" Sasuke shouts. The Dark-type and Fire-type made one last ditch effort, advancing towards the Water-type.
"Chikorita, weaken their attacks with another Growl!" Karin commands. "The Grass-type steps forwards and unleashes another high, piercing growl, distorting the air once again. The attack reaches Sasuke's Pokémon, causing them to stumble in the process. Poochyena and Cyndaquil each land their tackle, but even their combined attacks couldn't deal a favorable amount of damage against Totodile despite the Water-type beginning to tire out.
"Poochyena is weaker, so use Scratch on him!" Hikaru tells his Pokémon. Totodile leaps forward, delivering some scratches on the Dark-type. Not able to deal with anymore damage, Poochyena. Sasuke can only watch as he has one Pokémon left on the field. He takes out the Dark-type's Pokeball, recalling it back into the device.
"The fact that you stayed in this long proves how strong and capable you are. You'll get another chance at victory," the young Uchiha whispers to the Pokeball before putting it away. "Alright Cyndaquil, the odds are against us and you appear to be at your limit. If that's the case, then we're going to go down fight. Tackle that Chikorita!" Cyndaquil lets out a war cry and charges toward the Grass-type.
"We lowered its physical attack enough, so counter with Tackle!" Karin tells her Pokémon. Chikorita gives a chirp of acknowledgement and heads towards the Fire-type. Both starters tackle each other but gave a different amount of damage. Chikorita received two hits earlier, but Cyndaquil's attack isn't enough to keep it down. As for the Fire-type, the Grass-type's attack as well as the amount of damage it received after the Leer causes it faint.
"It seems Cyndaquil is unable to battle as well. Therefore, Karin and I win!" Hikaru announces. "You did awesome, Totodile!" The Water-type erupts into a happy dance at its trainer's praise.
"Same with you, Chikorita. You performed exceptionally well," Karin praises proudly. The Grass-type happily gives a quick nod but unknowingly sends a leaf flying. The three Pokémon trainers stare at the leaf with their mouths wide open. "Chikorita, you did you just use Razor Leaf?" Karin takes out her Pokedex to confirm the move.
"Chikorita has learned Razor Leaf. Its species is the only Grass-type starter capable of learning the move at an early level."
"Wow. That's amazing," Hikaru mutters. Totodile does another happy dance, spraying a spiral of water from its mouth. This catches the attention of the three trainers. "Totodile, was that Water Gun?" This time, the male twin takes out his Pokedex to confirm the new finding.
"Totodile has learned Water Gun. With the exception of the Piplup and Froakie species, the Totodile and other Water-type starters are capable of learning the move at a very early level. The Popplio species are born knowing the move."
"With every win in a battle, Pokémon gain new knowledge and experience which allows them to grow stronger and learn new moves," Sasuke explains.
"We know that, but we didn't expect to learn those moves already," Karin replies.
"Understandable. I was surprised as well. After all, those two moves are one of the best of their types," the young Uchiha says. He notices Cyndaquil sitting down miserably, obviously saddened by its first trainer battle being a loss. Sasuke approaches it, kneeling down next to it. "Hey, it's alright. We aren't going to win every battle. It was my fault that we lost since I rushed in and openly challenged them. Next time, we'll be stronger and will win for sure." The Fire-type looks at its trainer and happily nods with its new resolve.
"You guys battled well yourselves," Hikaru tells the Sasuke and Cyndaquil. "You pushed Totodile to its limits and if it was a one on one match between our starters, I'm not sure who would've won then."
"Well you two have proven to be worthy trainers, so I'll be expecting you guys in the League tournament," Sasuke tells the twins.
"Likewise," Karin replies. After the young Uchiha pays the twins prize money for winning the battle, the three part ways with the Uzumaki twins heading to the Pokemart to buy potions and other medicine for their Pokémon while Sasuke heads back to the Pokémon Center to heal his own.
Meanwhile, Naruto is at a small forest located between Red Town and Sakaki City. Right now, Chimchar is out of its Pokeball as it and Naruto are in battle positions. Facing against them is a wild Pokémon that Naruto has every intent to capture. It'll be his first caught Pokémon on his journey.
The wild Pokémon is an avian Pokémon with primarily grayish-brown plumage. There is a white marking on its face, resembling a mask, and a white spot on its chest. The rest of its head and the lower half of its wings are black. The Pokémon has a long, orange beak with a black tip and oval, black eyes with white pupils.
A small tuft of feathers curls over the back and its head, and a small, pointed ruff surrounds its neck. It has two black tail feathers with a white feather between them. Its feet are orange with three toes in the front and one in the back.
"Starly, the Starling Pokémon. Though small, they flap their wings with great power. Because they are weak individually, they form groups. However, they bicker if the group grows too big."
"Alright Starly, you're mine!" Naruto declares.
