A/N ok guys I think this should catch me back up on time and I plan to have another up this weekend. I really appriciate all of the reviews and this chapter is a bit more fighting and I am still new to multiple opponet fights so tell me how it is. Most of my fights are going to follow Naruto, the Pokemon or Iruka so anyway on with the show.

Chapter 6: Heat hazard

"Summoning Jutsu!" Four puffs of smoke appear behind Naruto. "Meet Lucario, Greninja, Blaziken, and Septile."

"Naruto what happened to the Toad contract you had?" Asks Shika

"Oh I still have it I just have trained with these guys more so I know their abilities better." Naruto states.

"Thank you for coming to help us." Iruka says "I need the fastest of the group on the right and left flanks with the slowest at point. Although you all look very strong and fast"

"You're very welcome. Tadpole explained the mission to Gama and I last night we are honored to be part of such a noble pursuit to end tyranny in your country Miss Mei." Greninja bows to Mei and Iruka. "You heard him boys. Blaze I know you're still fast but of the four of us your point, Lucario your rear, Septile take left flank and I have right." Each of the Pokémon nods and forms up with their partner for the travels. "We are ready to move out Iruka."

"Ok half pace guys I want to be in water country in three days."

"Right!" They all shout while launching off

That evening

"Miss Mei are you comfortable?" Iruka asks "I know your still recovering from the battle in front of the village gates."

"I am fine Iruka but I am worried about talking to Naruto," She says. Naruto is across the fire talking to Shizune while Shika was passed out next to a tree due to having the middle of the night guard. Naruto had released the summoning on all but Blaziken and he was building a fire smiling at his student/summoners tale of his training.

"Well I am sure he would be very excited to know he has family even if it is in Water country"

"I mean Lucario was ruthless after I taught him the Shadow clone. He might only create ten or so comfortably but his style is so amazing and he can feel you coming before you strike. Between Greninja, Blaziken and him I don't know who is stronger but Blaziken never showed me his real power." Naruto Glares at Blaziken and sticks his tongue out.

"There is a reason for that Naruto, My full power is not something I feel comfortable with."

"Why is that Blaziken?" Asked a confused Shizune

Sigh "I suppose it is story time since Naruto asked me to help on this mission full time I will tell you. Long ago in our realm there was a young one named Tyrouge. He was a very gifted fighter but he wanted to fight me one day without me holding back. Now I didn't agree fully I told him I would use my battle ability but I refused to go full out."

"Battle ability what is that?" Spoke out Iruka

"A battle ability is an Ability that each species of Pokémon have access to. Some Species have as many as three abilities some only have one but each individual Pokémon has only one." Naruto explains

"Great explanation Naruto." Blaziken smiles "My species has two different abilities one is Blaze which allows us to overpower our fire attacks when we are weak as a last resort, the other ability, my ability, is much stronger…" Blaziken winces at the memories of Tyrouge.

"Blaziken, its ok if it's hard to talk about we can talk about something else..." Mei says after seeing the pain in the fire chickens eyes.

"No its ok." He takes a deep breath and continues, "My ability is called speed boost."

"That sounds pretty straight forward Blaziken." Says Shikamaru from under the tree with his eyes closed.

"That it is young shadow. It is very straight forward. The more chakra I push into my muscles my speed and agility will rise exponentially. When Greninja said I was slowest it is true in my base power I am but if use speed boost… I can run circles around all three of them. At my maximum my speed increases by 400%. When I was training Tyrouge I didn't know how to control it and I ended up hurting him, very badly at that. The boy couldn't train for many weeks until he was healed."

"Wow so that's what it means to fight you at full power. I can barely keep up with you as is!" Naruto shouts.

"Naruto that's not my full power." Blaziken states as he stands up and walks into the forest.

"Huh?"

The next morning everyone was ready and left at dawn after eating some ration bars. All of the Pokémon came back for the travels and left when they set down for the night again.

"Alright guys. Water country border is straight ahead so tonight and tomorrow until we get to the Rebellion camp we are on high alert. I want two people on watch at once. Blaziken would you take middle watch with me?" Blaziken nods. "Ok Shikamaru and Shizune you have last watch. Mei you and Naruto can have first watch" He looks at Mei and sees her eyes shine with unshed tears of appreciation at what he did for her."

"Well I guess you are with me Miss Mei." Naruto says with a grin

"I suppose so but please call me Mei." She smiles

After a short dinner of rations due to the danger of starting a fire everyone lays down for the night. Mei and Naruto were sitting on a tree branch above their comrades looking in opposite directions.

"Naruto,"

"Hmm?" He mutters as he looks out at the trees

"Iruka told me that your last name is Uzumaki is that right?"

"Well that is my name but the old man told me it was from my mother's side I don't know my true family name because I have no idea who my dad is."

"Ah…" Mei pauses trying to think about how to talk to the boy about their relationship. "I wanted you to know that the Water country used to have a Family called Uzumaki." Naruto's head whips to Mei's direction. "Actually my family the Terumi are cousins to the Uzumaki's." She says in a quiet voice. She pauses to see how he would react to this news. After a few moments she turns to Naruto to see tears streaming down his face. "Please don't think bad of me Naruto I had no idea I had any family left in the leaf or otherw-" she was cut off by Naruto launching himself into her arms and hugging her tight.

"C-cousin. I have another cousin" he manages to choke out between sobs.

"Shhh Naruto its ok. Shhh." Mei hugs the boy tight "We will always keep in touch now that I know your family."

*CRACK* "Awww isn't this sweet the Lava Bitch found herself some family looks like We get to kill both of them and their Leaf Friends." Both of them whirl around to see five mist chunin and a jonin on a limb over hanging the clearing while one of them drops a handful of purple pellets into the clearing where Iruka Shizune and Shikamaru are. Upon impact they explode into a purple smoke that lingers around them. "There not they won't get in the way and can keep sleeping like babies" the Jonin states with an evil grin."

"Kieske your traitor! Your family were all killed by the Mizukage and now you are going to work for him!"

"Why yes since he pays better and has offered to restore my clan with my non blood line relatives with me as clan head I will work for him. Quite the lucrative deal if I do say so myself. All I have to do is kill you and any help you brought which is simple I have three down and that boy is no threat. Hahaha to easy!" Kieske shouts "You two take the boy and kill him. The other two on me!"

"Naruto, I am still hurt I don't know what I can do my chakra isn't even half what it should be yet. With the others passed out we don't stand a chance. Run away and get home and be safe."

"Never. I won't abandon my friends or my family! Your opponent is me, ass hole!" Naruto flashes through hand signs and lands on Bird "Wind style: Air Slash!" Great scythes of wind shoot toward the group of mist nin and all of them dodge except one who reacted to late and got sliced through by the beam of wind. The three remaining chunin flew backwards and flew through hand seals.

"Water style: Water trumpet!" They chorus as three streams of water fly towards Naruto and Mei

"Shit! Protect!" a green shield appears before Naruto when the protect fades Naruto sees Kieske flying in from his right with a sword that is glowing blue.

"Blue Breaker!" shouts Kieske

"Honedge he wants a sword fight let's go! Fury cutter!"

The two swords men are in a flurry of steel but Honedge gradually starts glowing green and it is getting brighter and brighter with each strike.

"What is this? In the Beginning my strikes were over powering you and you had to deflect now your strikes are stronger!"

"Hehe that's the wonder of Fury cutter each strike that I make makes the next stronger. If I am right the next will be your last take this! Fury Cutter!" Naruto screams as he slashes at Kieske. The Mist nin brings his sword up and it shatters on contact then Kieske goes up in smoke of a replacement. When it clears on the ground is another of the Mist Chunin instead of a standard log. His face one of absolute horror. "What is wrong with you? You used one of your own for a Replacement! You're a sick bastard."

"Hehehe that I am but you stand no chance boy! Water style: Great Vortex Jutsu!" Naruto didn't know what to do he didn't have enough time to counter with a large technique. He was almost going to be over taken by the Vortex when he heard a scream of Mei. One of the Chunin had caught up with her in her weakened state and stabbed her in the side. At the sight of his cousin dropping from the tree something snapped inside Naruto.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH" All around Naruto a red chakra flies up and deflects the Vortex and completely evaporates all of the water. When the steam clears there is Naruto in the center of a crater with red wisps of Chakra floating off of him. Naruto's Hair has gotten spikier and his nails elongate into claws and teeth into fangs. One of his eyes were flashing red and blue with the other being a solid red with a slit. It was obvious he was fighting the effects of the chakra he was using. "You have made a big mistake" Both eyes were flashing blue now but if anything the red chakra is increasing its intensity "I am not sure how long I can control this form but I will destroy you!" He shouts as he phases out of view and appears in front of the chunin ready to stab Mei again. "Close Combat!" Naruto unleashes a combo of amazing punches and kicks that launch the nin through a tree and knocks him out. Naruto faces the other two chunin then and readies his next move but before he can he grabs Honedge and holds it in a Kendo stance and charges his Chakra into the blade but before the release of the move Honedge glows in an angry white light that splits into two pieces. Each forms the shape of a sword in each of Naruto's hands and then the light fades to reveal two blood red blades with Purple and yellow cloth coming off of their silver hilts. "Doublade! Heh you are so screwed. Night slash!" Naruto shouts as he slashes both blades into the chests of both of the remaining chunin. As he faces back to Kieske he feels a prick in the back of his neck and collapses forward into Blaziken's arms.

"What the hell are you? You're dressed up as a chicken?" Shouts Kieske

"Miss Mei are you ok?" Blaziken asks as he sets Naruto on the ground near her.

"I am fine but is Naruto ok that was tailed beast chakra."

"He will be fine but he can only hold control of that form for short times. He was at the end of his limit I will take care of this." Blaziken states. He then turns to Kieske and glares at him "you have once chance to leave before I destroy you. I have no reason to hold back and I won't be responsible for your injuries."

"HAHAHA you think you scare me you over grown feather duster!"

"Your funeral." Blaziken crouches down with both of his hands at his side and fire forms at his wrists and a red fiery aura forms around him then a blood curdling eagles screech comes out of his beak as the aura intensifies. The leaf nin then begin waking up and saw Blaziken as flams start rolling off of his body. Two streams of fire flow off of his wrists in a waving pattern almost like cloth wristbands. His whole body then turns a combination of deep red with black whips. With a final screech the black and red aura morphs into a multihued ball of energy around Blaziken then cracks and shatters around him. Standing in his place was a Bird much the same as Blaziken with his crown feathers sticking up and back rather than down and streaks of black instead of yellow feathers. As Blaziken rises up he brings one leg up into a ready stance. "I hope you're ready." Blaziken's body takes on a red hue and disappears from sight then there is a shout of "Sky uppercut!" Kieske flies up into the air and breaks though the canopy of the trees. On the ground Blaziken disappears and reappears above the mist nin "Blaze Kick!" Fire forms around the firebirds leg and impacts with a crash into Kieske's chest. "This is the end for you. Over heat!" a large ball of fire forms in Blaziken's hand and is thrown into the crater that the ninja created on impact with the ground then exploded in a pyre that reached above the tree canopy.

Blaziken lands and takes a knee as he glows and takes his original form. From behind him he hears our favorite Blond

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT SENSEI!?"
