There were only a few moments in Naruto's life when he would admit that he was afraid. The first would be when he tried to steal ramen from his favorite ramen shack, Ichiraku. When he did this, he never expected for Ayame, the young cook who worked alongside her father, to wrap him with rope and forced him to taste experimental ramen flavors. That along nearly made him give up on one of the few stands that gave him food at a fair price.
The second most memorable moment was when he, Kiba, and Sasuke, before the Uchiha Massacre happened, went through the girl's locker room and swapped their panties with a thong that, thanks to Sasuke's Kokohi no Jutsu, made them appear as the original. Once the girls felt the difference in their new underwear, their screams made the three boys hauler in snickers and laughs, but this led the girls to their location. If it wasn't for the fact that he was use to using his Oiroke jutsu, he would of been as embarrassed as Sasuke and Kiba, since the three of them had to wear bras and panties. It would be the only time "Sasuka" and "Kibi" would ever be seen.
The worst of the moments had to of been when he pulled a prank on Iruka with an explosive tag and sent him to the infirmary. Sarutobi yelled at him to the point of one of the windows behind the man cracking, telling him that he was an inch away from being banned from ever becoming a ninja. It had taken him a month for him to convince the Hokage to not ban him, and instead took two months of detention with no trips to Ichiraku.
"OUT OF ALL THE SILLY, CHILDISH THINGS YOU'VE DONE, THIS HAS TO BE THE WORST OF THEM ALL!"
Comparing the current predicament to those three, he could of swam in an ocean full of shark summons and wouldn't be as scared as he was at this very moment.
"But Jiji-" Sarutobi slammed his hands to the table, making the papers on the desk fall.
"THAT IS HOKAGE-SAMA TO YOU GENIN UZUMAKI!" Naruto gulped as he saw two windows develop cracks. He could tell that Jiji was PISSED. "Out of all the things to do, why would you leave your GunValkyrie to handle a Pokegirl that she was weak against!"
"I-I needed to get healed by the Nursejoy provided for the ninja that were there Hokage-sama. I got injured-"
"SO DID THE THIRTY OR SO NINJA THAT WERE ON SIGHT BEFORE YOU AND ANKO ARRIVED!" Sarutobi shouted. The killer intent, or KI as Iruka-sensei called it, swarmed the office. "You've suffered broken arms before Naruto, and your Pokegirl is much more important than something that could of been taken cared of later on! You are lucky that I hurried over there when I was told that you were allowed to be apart of the task force."
"I was following Anko-sensei's orders Hokage-sama. Not only that, the Whorizard came at Valkyria and I out of nowhere. I wasn't allowed a chance to think of a plan of action against it." Sarutobi's gaze focused on Anko, who gulped at the sight like he did.
"Now we come to the heart of the problem. Mitarashi Anko, explain to me why you allowed a genin, one that was in your class to learn the proper care of Pokegirl ownership, to fight alongside the task force when he wasn't ready at all!"
"Hokage-sama! His GunValkyrie was battle ready, battle equip, and his particular skill with the Kage Bunshin was useful to allow whoever he had to help obtain the necessary observation time. It was thanks to him that the ones assigned to take out the Plussy and Miboobsy found out a useful fact that helped them restrain the Plussy, and his GunValkyrie was the one who took down the Miboobsy, sir!"
"That is correct," Sarutobi sighed and picked up a folder that fell off the desk, "Naruto was a deciding factor in the capture of the Plussy and Miboobsy, who have survived the battle, and will be reconditioned as long as it takes."
'Reconditioned?' Naruto thought as Sarutobi opened the folder.
"Naruto, Anko, you should be grateful that this incident won't be on your official record. However, from the 500,000 SLC you could of obtained for each girl, you'll each be receiving 25,000 as the combined total. Not only that, you won't be eligible to obtain the Whorizard or the Plussy and Milboobsy. Also, Naruto, since it was your reckless actions that injured more of the shinobi during the capture, you're assigned to helping out at the hospital for the next two days. You two may use the rest of today to think of your actions. You're dismissed."
"Thank you Hokage-sama." He and Anko said, though he said his silently as Anko spoke hers with a harsh tone. Once he walked out of the office, he punched the wall and bit his lip in frustration. He felt a hand on his left shoulder and turned to see a frowning Anko.
"Come on brat." Anko whispered. "Lets go get something to eat. My treat." Naruto simply nodded and followed her out of the tower, knowing full well that if he opened his mouth, he would of shouted.
-Skip-
The lunch that he and Anko shared was the most awkward moment in his life. The only good thing about it was that Haniko, the hostess to the dango shop, didn't bother them with her rude comments. Naruto sighed before taking a large bite of his dango, slowly chewing it without the usual luster he held for food.
"This sucks," Anko clentched her hands and slammed them to the table, "dammit!" Naruto said nothing, preferring to take a drink of his soda as Anko ravished her food. "We didn't do a damn thing wrong. Okay, I didn't do a damn thing wrong." Naruto glared at her, yet stayed quiet since he knew she was right at the moment. "Its not like it hasn't been done before."
"Come again?" He asked.
"Its not exactly unusual for a jounin, hell, or a chuunin to bring someone who knows about them in order for them to get a better understanding." Anko leaned closer to him. "When Mizuki tried to get you to steal the scroll, there was an anbu that decided to bring along a highly skilled medic of genin rank for them to get more practice."
"Wait," he interrupted, "we have a medic-nin that's still a genin?"
"Yep!" Anko bit into her dango. She didn't even chew the rest of her food before she started talking again. "He -munch- failed the chuunin ewamz -munch- seven times already!" Naruto flicked a bit of dango that landed on his cheek.
'She should know by now to not talk while eating. I'm trying to kick myself out of that habit.' "But wait, I thought Sarutobi could hand out field promotions if a team does well enough on their missions?"
"You're right," Anko took a sip of her drink, "But their sensei doesn't want them to get promoted in such a manner. I believe the bastard is a no good spy with his genin team being along with it, but no one, not even Hokage-sama, is willing to listen, let alone check it out." A sense of dread slithered through his mind at the thought of spies being in Konoha. The Anbu, Barrier Team, and the Military Police, before the massacre, were the main groups that kept sight on any foreigners entering Konoha. The thought of a TEAM of them reporting to someone else for SEVEN YEARS was frightening. How long was the sensei a member of Konoha before he got the team? What abnormal abilities do the genin have? These questions and more started to flood his mind.
"You have a theory sensei?" As Anko was about to speak, she noticed something to his left and frowned. Curious, he was about to turn his head.
"Don't you dare turn your head gaki." She whispered in a dangerous tone, freezing him to the seat. "The sensei just walked in, and I don't need for you to somehow get caught in with my theory." Naruto nodded and finished the rest of his food.
"Should I leave?" Anko slowly nodded, and forced a note in front of him.
"If you ever notice something strange Naruto, you can come to my house, or go to the interrogation center and have them send me a message. Promise me Naruto." The seriousness in her voice, as well as the mix of concern in her eyes made him agree and pocket the note. "Thanks gaki. Now get the hell out of my sight!" Naruto laughed as he left the dango shop.
'Well, since I would be in Anko's class around this time, I guess I could get some additional training in.' Naruto nodded at his thought and jumped onto the roof of the dango shop. When it came to roof hopping, no one could beat him, or go the same pace he went.
However, despite being so enthusiastic to head straight into training, he realized that he was at a learning block of sorts. Taijutsu wise, he still had the horrid style he developed during his time at the academy. With a bit of weight lifting and some other exercises, he knew that he could become stronger body wise, but he didn't want to loose how fast he currently was. There was the additional fact that there weren't that many Taijutsu teachers anymore, as they either became a ninja, or were too old to properly teach their stances.
His worst area was Genjutsu, or the art of mental attacks and illusions. He had too much chakra to actually use the art to his advantage, other than the simple henge no jutsu, or his oiroke form. It actually made him wonder if he could find a seal master that could make him an item to detect genjutsu. To him, it would be more helpful than using most of his necessary time to kick the dead horse known as Genjutsu.
On the other hand, unlike Taijutsu and Genjutsu, he was best suited for Ninjutsu. If he kept on using the wall walking exercise, his chakra control would improve, which would lower the amount of chakra used in his jutsu, as well as increase his sexual stamina. However, he didn't have anymore jutsu to work on. Genin weren't allowed to look into the Jutsu Library of Konoha, a very specific place where all of the jutsu obtained from enemies, created, or simply improved upon, were kept for ninja reading. The only way a genin could look through this library was by entering with their team, as well as the sensei signing a waver saying that they could read through a certain ranking of jutsu.
After taking a small break from roof hopping, he glared at the once populated Uchiha Clan apartments.
'Clans.' Naruto mentally spat out. He didn't hate clans like the civilians did, as they were afraid of their abnormal abilities, or bloodlines. What he didn't like about them was the high advantage they had against normal ninjas like himself. It was well known that children from clans recieved training around the age of six, while most normal academy students started to learn the art around the age of eight. If he added their physical capabilities, such as the Akimichi and Inuzuka clan, who were physically stronger than most kids, or the Hyuuga and Aburame, who were faster than other children. The Uchiha were the most alluring to fight, as they could copy nearly anything thrown at them, with the exception of bloodline techniques, but the remaining clans weren't pushovers either.
It was then he started to think about how much of an impact a Pokegirl, let alone the hundreds that the Pokedex said existed. What if they made clans stronger, or even weaker than they are now? He was sure that new bloodlines would exist, which would make people that aren't related to one another a 'clan' if their children end up with the same abilities. Maybe the Hokage would be forced to keep certain Pokegirls strictly for certain clans in order to prevent massive Pokegirl clans.
"I should check out Valkyria..." Naruto mumbled to himself as he rubbed the Pokeball on his belt. Since he didn't want to release her on the rooftops, nor did he want to risk someone seeing him, he went to area 13, an clean training ground based around water training This particular area was made for this purpose due to the river that passed through the area. The thick patches of trees made it a good spot for ninjas to practice their stealth skills as well. A few seconds later, Valkyria and Naruko, much to his surprise, were in front of him. Valkyria bowed in front of him as Naruko hugged him tight enough to make his shoulders pop out of place.
"Let go of master!" Naruko turned and slapped Valkyria, an action that shocked him more than it did Valkyria.
"How DARE you let master get hurt!" The GunValkyrie glared at Naruko before pouncing on top of her. Both girls ended up rolling on the ground, pulling patches of grass with them. Naruko suddenly kicked Valkyria's forehead, making her fall on her back.
"Leave me alone!" Valkyria's shout was acknowledged with a patch of dirt being flung at her head. The dirt was easily dodged, but Naruko began another assault on the GunValkyrie.
"Enough!" Naruto yelled, creating eleven kage bunshins that had a pair of kunai in their hands. "Now face each other and apologize!"
"Sorry." Naruko mumbled with a blush on her face.
"I apologize." Was Valkyria's whispered response. Naruto smiled and pulled both Pokegirls into a hug.
"And I apologize for letting you get hurt Valkyria." Naruto chuckled as Valkyria kissed his cheek, though a thought entered his head and made him look at Naruko. "How did you know that I got hurt Naruko?" The Bunnygirl tilted her head in confusion. "You weren't out of your Pokeball at all, and I know that you haven't been released from the ball at all. So how'd ya know?" Naruko widened her eyes and smiled, which made her ears straighten out with the fur standing up.
"Oh THAT!" Naruko pointed to the Pokeballs on his belt. "The ball lets us girls see what goes on outside the ball like a tv! I feel like a tiny ant, or a mini Fairycute that has shrunken down by a spell. You're literally a giant like that master!" Naruto took Valkyria's Pokeball and spun it a little. He didn't notice anything specific allowing the girls to view the outside world.
'Maybe it's something dealing with the technology?' Naruto shrugged and placed the Pokeball back on his belt. With no warning, all of his kage bunshins exploded, forcing him to experience their painful death in a matter of seconds. Naruto pushed both Pokegirls to the ground as he swapped places with a kunai, taking the chance to look at the attacker.
The attacker had light blue skin with green slits running down her ribs. The slits moved a little, as if they were breathing, yet this didn't prevent him from noticing that the girl had webbed hands and feet. Her breasts, which were a rather small A, made him notice her erect nipples, though the sudden snarl that escaped from her lips forced him to look at her head. Her violet eyes promised pain, and her seaweed for hair dangled lifelessly across her cheeks.
"Diue!" The girl flicked her hair to the side, sending a horde of spinning pieces of seaweed at them. It was easy for Naruto to dodge the assault, but he watched as Naruko took all of the attack. Valkyria was able to roll away, but a sudden burst of water from the girl made her hit a tree.
'There's no way that is a summon, and I'm sure as hell not going to believe that is an Ame ninja.' Naruto brought out the Pokedex and scanned the girl. 'Now time to keep her distracted!' Twenty kage bunshins ran towards the feral, who seemed to froze in place. A surge of bubbles from the river slammed through a third of the clones, making them explode instantly. The feral slammed her hands on the ground, bringing out a green whip out and lashed at some of the clones.
"Master, from above!" Naruko's warning made him swap places with a clone, and threw several kunai at the seaweed feral. The feral let loose a scream before jumping back into the water. Right as he and the six remaining clones were about to throw kunai into the water, three of the clones were attacked by small black blurs, making them explode. Naruto, feeling the surge of information running through his skull once more, looked up to see three crows flying around the area.
A gurgle from the river made him focus on it, despite the feeling in his gut that promised that something bad was about to happen.
"Pokegirls confirmed!" The Pokedex stated in a professional manner. "Kelpie, the Seaweed Pokegirl. For being an uncommon Pokegirl, as well as her dual element of water and plant, she has plenty of attacks and the common photosynthesis trait to keep her going in battle. Avoid letting her rest in large bodies of water, as well as allowing her to bathe in bright sunlight when battling." As if summoned by the statement, the Kelpie floated to the water's surface, snarling as she slammed her hands onto the water. Two long, rather large whips made of water spawned from the river, swaying a little.
"Gezt HSIM!" The Kelpie pointed its webbed fingers at him. The two whips launched themselves at him, slamming into the ground to make him jump away. As he was in midair, six crows slammed into him, making him gasp from the sudden attack.
'What are up with these things!' Naruto made four clones and used one of them to pull him away from the birds. What seemed like a minute of him being in the air was actually a few seconds, which left him unprepared for the sudden crash landing into a tree.
"Leader, there's a Skatey that is standing on the river. Do you want me to attack it, or would you prefer for me to attack the Ravage?" Before he could ask Valkyria a question, the Pokedex beeped.
"WARNING! Skatey, a dual element Pokegirl, which has water and bug type allignment, and Ravage, another dual elemental of the flying and dark type, have been scanned in the immediate area! CAUTION! Skatey are light enough to stand on water, are much faster on it than they would be upon land, and have a rather aggressive fight style by ultilizing the bony exoskeleton plates that cover their arms and legs! Ravage, on the other hand, can split into the form of four crows on average, which know all of the attacks they know, and are dangerous to attack physically, since their claws and beaks are as sharp as steel!" Naruto looked at Valkyria, noticing how she was already in her armored form, then glanced at Naruko, who picked up a pair of kunai from the ground.
"I'll attack the Kelpie master!" Naruko shouted, making him widen his eyes in shock.
"Are you sure you want to? I can make a ton of clones to-"
"NO!" Naruko stumped away from a water tentacle. "I will show you my worth as a member of your harem master!" With that said, Naruko ran towards the submerged feral, leaving Naruto to glance at Valkyria.
"Val, no, Omega, I order you to attack the Skatey and render it unconscious."
"Hai Leader-sama." Valkyria, now in her Omega mindset, hovered and shot her gauntlets towards the Skatey. The water/bug feral must of been six foot with blue skin, bleached blonde hair, and a pair of antennae that bounched with vigor as the feral sped towards Omega. Naruto looked up at the six crows that were giving his clones a hard time. He could tell that, unless he made the Ravage merge together, that he would never actually defeat the Ravage in its crow form.
"I'll just have to beat it in its own game. It doesn't know who it just challenged." Naruto smirked and put his hands in his favorite handseal.
"KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!"
-Author's Notes-
Sorry for the rather long delay. If any of you have read the latest chapter for Surviving the Rules, you would of saw my reasons for not updating. There isn't much to be said about this chapter, other than a tough battle shall be fought in the next chapter, and I'm enjoying the potential of a Naruto/Anko pairing right about now. It should only be a few more chapters, two to three at the most, before we get to see Konoha 9 get their Pokegirls and begin the Ninja Project.
Also, I'm half tempted to give Hinata a Domina, if only to see a kinky Hinata be born to the world for all to fear.
Until next time everyone!
