I own nothing from Naruto or Ben 10, Ben 10 alien force, or Ben 10 ultimate alien.
Chapter 7: Welcome to the Moon Village!
Naruto stood in front of his friends from the plumbers with his arms crossed.
"So do we all understand the plan?" Naruto asked them
"We beat the snot out of anyone we fight in the Chuunin exams," Kevin answered, "and we make it especially painful if they're from your old village."
Naruto nodded at Kevin.
"Now then," Naruto said, "Steel your nerves people the competitors will be here in a matter of hours. Oh, and Sunny…no picking fights with people this time around!"
Meanwhile on Earth…
Tsunade stood as she looked a piece of paper that had printed out of the small drone that had sent her the invitation. Around her were the contestants, Jiraiya, the jonin, and clan heads.
"Where our transport?" Sasuke asked aloud.
"Yeah, where are these idiots?" Sakura said trying to get in good with her crush.
The outburst caused a lot of annoyed groans to go through the gathered.
Before Sakura or Sasuke could go on they became aware of a few figures approaching from the distance.
They noticed that some of them were jonin level ninja. There were however sights most of them knew. Five of the figures were wearing kage robes. One for Sand, one for Rock, one for Mist, one for Cloud, and one for Rain.
"Tsuande," the kage from sand said, "its been a while."
Tsunade smiled an held out her hand saying, "Its good to see you too Gaara."
"So you're Tsuande Senju," Mei said with a smile, "My name is Mei Terumi. The old guy is Onoki, and muscles there is A."
Tsuande shook the Mizukage's hand and said, "Good to meet you all. I'm also glad to see the ladies get their due in another village. By the way what are you doing here."
Mei smiled sweetly and said, "We're here for the Chuunin exams. We were given invitations as spectators in the kage box."
Sasuke scoffed and said, "What kage doesn't' have any active ninja?"
Tsuande, and everyone else, save Sakura, rolled their eyes at he arrogant statement. The foreign kages all glared at the boy for his clear disrespect.
"For one thing," the Amekage said, "My village, as well as Mist, just recently got out of recent war. And for future reference, just because we don't have ninja now…doesn't mean we won't have them later."
An ANBU who was with the Amekage glared at the young Uchiha. You could feel a sense of annoyance and disappointment coming off of him. Jiraiya go at good look at the three from Ame and a look of recognition crossed his face.
"Konan?" the old sage asked.
Konan smiled at the man and said, "It's good see you Jiraiya-sempai."
Tsunade looked at Jiraiya with a surprised look.
"You know her?" Tsunade asked.
"She was an old student of mine," Jiraiya said shocking Tsunade.
The busty kage walked over to Konan and whispered, "He didn't try anything inappropriate with you did he?"
Konan shook her head and answered, "No. I have a bloodline that allows me to control paper. I told him that if he tried anything indecent then he would know what if felt like to have a great deal of paper cuts on a certain part of the male anatomy."
All the males who heard winced. The only exception was Sasuke. He was staring at the woman disdain. She had a bloodline jutsu. That mean they were jutsu he couldn't copy. Suddenly a smirk came a cross his features. All he had to do was charm this woman and she would be his. Maybe he could do the same with the mist kage. she was pretty hot.
"You said you had a bloodline right?" Sasuke asked Konan.
The woman simply nodded.
"Well," Sasuke said, "Come with me than. Back in Konoha I can offer you much."
The Amekage clenched his fists. The other Konoha nin were disgusted at the fact that Sasuke was trying to get into this girl's pants just because she had a bloodline. Sakura was pissed because Sasuke wasn't flirting with her.
'How dare that little rain bimob try to steal my Sasuke-kun!' she mentally raved.
Konan knew what Sasuke was trying to do and simply scoffed at the boysl offer. She was about tot tell him off whne the Amekage strode up to Sasuke, grabbed his throat and lifted him to his eye level.
"Listen good boy," the kage growled his eyes flashing, "I'm only going to give you one warning. Stay…away…from….my…wife."
He punctuated each word by adding more pressure to Sasuke's throat. When he finished his threat the threw Sasuke away. The boy landed on the ground hard and dazed. He rubbed his sore neck. The young Uchiha go tup and was about ot start yelling until a loud noise cut him off.
Everyone looked toward the skies to see two large metal air crafts coming down through the clouds. The first ship was large and gray. And had two leg like appendages coming off the back (Tetrax's ship). The other was large, black, and had a design that resembled circuitry (Ship).
The two ships landed. The first one opened up and a large hulking figure wearing black and gray armor with a green triangle in the helmet stood at the entrance to the air craft.
"This is the hidden village group right?" the man said his voice clear through the armor.
In their shocked stupors everyone nodded.
"Good," the man said, "All kages and bodyguards enter through here. All contestants use the ship on the left. Any questions? No? Good."
The kages and their body guards entered the ship. The contestants entered the black and green ship.
Once inside the contestants noticed something. There was no pilot.
"Uh…who's flying this thing?" Kiba asked a little freaked out.
"Ship. Ship. Ship," answered a small mechanical voice that made everyone jump.
Inside the kage shp everyone had sat down in seats and rails that resembled the latches on a roller coaster came down. Much to his humiliation Onoki had to have a booster seat.
"Okay," the large metal man said, "My name is Tetrax. I'll be your guide for today. Before take off I would like to point out that the seats have little red buttons on them. In the case of an emergency feel free to press aid button. You will then be ejected out of the ship. don't' worry there is a parachute. Thank you for your time and attention."
At that moment the engines roared to life and the ships took off. Form their seats the kages and body guards screamed. Well most them did. The crow masked ANBU didn't and neither did the Amekage.
In the contestant ship they hadn't had such a talk because they were too shocked about the ship talking. All the contestants were currently in pancake form on the rear of the ship.
Eventually the ships broke through the atmosphere. As soon as they did everything started floating. The contestants smiled in amusement as they started floating, even Sasuke. At least until the artificial gravity kicked in and they all fell to the ground with a loud crash.
A the artificial gravity kicked in on the kage ship the restraints on the ship released.
"We will be arriving at the Hidden Moon Village in exactly twenty minutes," Tetrax said into a microphone that lead to the contestant ship as well, "Until then…DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID!"
In the contestant ship Sakura said to herself, "Must…resist…stupidity impulse." She took out a paddle ball and started playing with it. "Not resisting well."
After twenty minutes of Sakura mumbling to herself. Tetrax's voice came over the intercom and said, "Attention all passengers we are now approaching the Hidden Moon Village. Please sit down and brace yourselves for this might be a rough landing."
Everyone braced themselves against something and both ships shook as they landed on the ground. As soon as the ships landed the doors opened revealing light gray earth.
The group slowly exited the ships they found themselves greeted by strange creatures with a banner that said welcome to the moon village.
The kages walked out of the ships. The Lunakage smiled behind his mask and walked up to the group.
"Welcome to our humble little village," the masked kage said with a smile under his mask.
"Glad we were able to come," Mei said to the kage shaking his hand.
"Thanks for accepting my invitation," the Lunakage said holding out his hand to shake Tsunade's.
"Now then," the Lunakage said, "The Chuunin exams here work differently here. Instead of three parts there will be one part. All contestants will compete in a tournament against the fighters from my village. You're skills will be judged by jonin from both your villages and the others. It will then be decided if you are ready to go to the next level. Understood?"
Sasuke smirked and said, "You might as well just hand me a chuunin vest now."
The leaf nin rolled their eyes while the kages groaned at the boys arrogant attitude.
The Lunakage walked up to the boy and glared down at him with angry eyes.
"Listen boy," the man said, "No victory is guaranteed. If you pass…you pass. If you don't…too bad."
With that the Moon Shadow turned away from the arrogant boy. He turned to the important people and said, "Come there is something we must discuss in private."
As they left he turned to the contestants and said, "The tournament is tomorrow. Don't do anything to piss anyone off, and you'll be fine."
With that the kages, their bodyguards, the clan heads, and Jiraiya stepped on a pad and vanished in a flash of light.
"That was interesting," Sai said with a bit of curiosity in his voice.
In the Lunakage's office…
There was a flash of light and everyone appeared in the Lunakgae's office.
"That was…interesting," Shikaku Nara said as he tried to gain his bearings.
"I think I lost my appetite," Chouza Akamichi said.
"Cooooooool," Tsume Inuzuka said with a smirk.
"You get used to it," the Lunakage said with a smile behind his mask.
"All right," Jiraiya said as the dizziness wore off, "I got to get this off my chest. You seem familiar to me. I don't' know hwy, but I think I've seen you somewhere before."
The Lunakage sat at his desk and chuckled, "Oh you don't remember me? I'm hurt…ero-sennin."
Jiraiya gasped and asked, "Naruto?"
The kage shook his head and said, "Right family…wrong generation."
Minato then took off his mask and kage hat to reveal the face of the revived Yondaime Hokage now Shodaime Lunakage.
"Minato?" everyone gasped at the same time.
"Yep," Mianto said, "Now close your moths. They'll attract flies."
"How are you alive?" Jiraiya asked with a shocked look on his face.
"Naruto made a deal with the Shinigami," Minato explained, "In return for me coming back to life he gave her the souls of a great deal of powerful missing nin. Namely Orochimaru and the Akatsuki."
Tsuande nearly reeled back when she heard that.
"You mean Naruto was the one who wiped Otogakure off the map?" she asked.
"Yep," Minato said, "He's not even my age and he's already more powerful than me. I'm so proud."
Tsunade gained a serious look and asked, "Is he here? In the village?"
Minato shook his finger and said, "Now that would be telling now wouldn't it?"
Tsunade grumbled to herself about annoying blondes and trying to get on her nerves.
"Is Naruto here in the village?" Mei asked wondering where her boyfriend was.
"He is," Mianto said, "but don't bother him. He's giving my fighters some last minute training."
Shibi Aburame approached Minato and said, "I believe we are here for a reason other than just an examination of skills."
The blonde in front of him gained a serious face and said, "Yes. You all know that the leaf village has fallen from grace. The village itself is just a shadow of it's former glory. In other words "The Will of Fire" is pretty much all but gone. I brought you here to make an offer."
Tsume approached him and said, "You want us to join the hidden moon village."
Minato merely nodded in confirmation.
The clan heads seemed to think it over. The hidden leaf hadn't really recovered from it's fall from grace. On top of that it had gotten a really bad re with the fire lord which made things much worse. In other words it only took them a few seconds to think.
"We're in," all of them said.
"Okay," Minato said reaching into his desk and taking out a transparent material with glowing words on it. All I need are the fingerprints of all the clan heads here and it is a done deal."
The clan heads, one by one, placed their hands on the object. After it did a flash of their hand print appeared then their name.
"Now then," Minato said, "There are some empty mansions on the east side of the village. You can set up there. We'll arrange for the rest of the clans to be transported up here within a few weeks. Now hwy don't you guys go and check out the village? Not you Amekage-dono I want to have a word with you."
The kages and the newly former clan heads of Konoha all left except for the Amekage, his body guard, and his wife.
"So…" Minato said as he eyed the Amekage, "You can take off the mask now Nagato."
The Amekage took off his mask and then released the genjutsu on his eyes. His face was slightly pale and his hair was orange and spiky. His eyes were purple with a black dot pupil and multiple rings around his eyes.
"So how have you been since your beat down at the hands of my boy?" the blonde kage asked the rinnegan bearer.
Nagato gave a shallow smile and said, "I've healed up quite nicely."
Nagato gained a slightly distant look as he remembered the incident.
Flashback begin…
Nagato grunted in pain as he felt his flesh being cut. He struck the opposite wall with incredible force. He fell to the ground in incredible pain. He rose up to look at the armored face of the Chimera. The armor slowly slide back to reveal the face of Naruto Namikaze.
Around them were the destroyed bodies of the Akatsuki and the destroyed bodies of his paths of pain. The only ones he could tell were still alive were Itachi and Konan.
"You," the man growled, "The Kyuubi Jinchuuriki."
Naruto shook his head and said, "Former Jinchuuriki. The Kyuubi is dead."
Nagato growled and said, "My plan…ruined."
Before he could go on mounds of crystal shot up and pinned him to the wall.
Naruto stepped forward his arm turned to complete crystal and electricity lined the rock like material. He slowly made his way forward and drew back his arm before starting to swing forward.
As the sharp object went toward his eyes the Rinnegan bearer's eyes he saaw his entire life. His dark childhood in Ame during Hanzo's reign. The day they met Jiraiya. The death of his friends. The day his eyes awoke. The fights with the Jinchuuriki and their deaths. He saw every life he took every drop of blood that was spilt in the name of peace.
Nagato finally came back to reality here the crystal was stopped just an inch from his face.
"Is it true what they say?" Naruto asked, "ife flashes before your eyes when you're about to die?"
Nagato only nodded.
"I know your goal behind this whole escapade," Naruto said, "Your dream was to create an everlasting peace. A valiant dream, but you went about it all wrong. You killed innocent people in the name of this dream. With your power you could have brought them back."
Nagato hung his head the dread of all he had done finally caught up to him.
"What have I become?" he asked.
"You've become what you've tried to stop," Naruto said, "A dictator. A man wanting to rule through fear and pain."
The crystals crumbled. Naruto slowly turned around and started to leave. As he did he said, "Look into your heart Nagato. You'll know what to do."
Flashback end…
"Hey big guy," Minato said, "I lost you there for a second."
The orange haired man shook his head and said, "Sorry I was just having a flashback."
Minato looked at him strangely and said, "So how have you been Itachi?"
The crow masked ANBU took off his mask revealing the face of the Uchiha clan murderer.
"I have been fine," the elder Uchiha said.
"So," Minato said turning to the Amekage, "How are the Jinchuuriki doing."
Nagato answered, "They are adapting well to life in the village. They were a little nervous after the resealing, but they adapted. They are also learning to control their bijuu quite well. They can go at least a half an hour before the consciousness of the bijuu starts to influence them."
Minato smiled and said, "I'm glad to hear it. Now then why don't we celebrate? I know this restaurant on the west side. The food may be strange, but it is in fact delicious."
Nagato shrugged and said, "When in Kiri."
The next day…
Bright lights shown in the sky as the spectators made their way to the arena in the middle of the village. A few residents made their way to the arena and took a spot in their seats. There was a special box with the kanji for moon. In this box sat the kages and their bodyguards. Minato, disguised again sat in between the group. In the box next to them was the spot made for certain people.
"Your seats are this way sir," said a Plumber agent while guiding Mr. Tennyson to his seat.
As Mr. Tennyson made his way to the seat he found that he among other parents were there.
"Hey honey," his wife said as she got up and kissed his cheek.
"What are we doing here?" Mr. Tennyson asked.
"I heard something about our kids competing in this tournament," an African American woman said.
"Really?" asked a Caucasian woman with dark hair, "I heard the same thing about my daughter."
After a few minutes Minato stood up and said, "Welcome all spectators of Earth and beyond. As leader of this city I welcome you to this tournament. Those who win, or those who show exceptional skill will be promoted to the rank of chunnin. For those of you who don't know how this works check the pamphlet under your seats."
A great deal of aliens searched through pamphlets and surprised murmurs went up through the crowd.
"Now then," Minato said as the murmurs died down, "Please turn your attention to the large holographic projector in the middle of the arena. The names of the contestants will be announced there. For those of you who are gambling men place your bets. And for future reference I will not be taking complaints about fights being rigged. Now then…lets get started with the first match."
The holographic projector started randomly going through fighters from Konoha and Luna.
It landed on one figure and a deep voice said, "Rock Lee."
Lee smirked before he jumped down from the Konoha fighters box and landed in the arena.
The screen cycled through more fighers until it landed on a picture of a moon fighter.
"Tiny."
The contestant from moon gave a slight laugh under his armor and jumped down from the fighter box into the arena. What made this one stick out was the fact that he had four gun holsters on his back.
As the two landed two large rings began to spin around the arena forming a dome that was made to protect the bystanders should any attacks get out of hand. Holographic images started to rise up off the ground until what looked like a black arena with large pillars formed.
'Incredible,' the earthlings thought except hose who knew of this technology already.
Lee was staring around him in awe until he heard the sound of Tiny cracking his knuckles.
Tine smirked under his mask andsaid, "You're going down little man."
Lee simply grinned flashing his bright teeth and said, "You talk big. Let's see how you back them up!"
With that the two contestants charged at each other.
Cut! Okay the fights have begun with Manny (obviously) vs. Rock Lee. Who's will is strong? Who's strength this greater? Who will come out of this insane grudge match.
