I am, for lack of a better word, on FIRE with this story, updating wise of course. I've gotten my groove, yes, people do still say groove, back when it comes to Pokegirls, and I hope to get those files for Start of a Unique Journey as quick as possible. Oh the ideas I have with Naruto being in the clutches of Team Rocket...
*Blinks*
You didn't hear that from me, got it? Anyway, onto the story! I don't own Naruto, Pokegirls, or anything in between the two. So lets get to the story, shall we?
"Normal Talking."
'Mental Thoughts.'
"Kyuubi."
"Radio and other devices"
"Flashbacks, lets hope there are none in this story, ever..."
-Chapter seven-
"Good morning my precious genin." Naruto glanced from the tree he leaned against and saw Kakashi walking towards them with a bento in his hand.
"You're three hours LATE!" Sakura screamed, causing Kakashi to pause as he moved the bento to his other hand. Oddly enough, he was wearing a watch and showed it to them.
"No I'm not. Its ten on the dot." Naruto looked at the watch and felt the urge to claw the man's throat rising. From the corner of his eye, he saw Sasuke's left hand twitch towards his kunai, and Sakura's mouth quivering.
"Sensei...YOUR WATCH IS BROKEN!" Kakashi looked down and tapped it a few times.
"Well what do ya know, it IS broken. Oh, but there isn't anyone in Konoha who can fix a watch, and they're so expensive, so I'll keep using this one."
'Must...not...kill...sensei...' Naruto struggled with his inner demon (not the Kyuubi, thank kami) that wanted him to kill their lazy sensei.
"Now that we've all said our hellos, its time for us to begin training. First, I must ask you, did you wake up to see that your starter Pokegirl was acting rather funny?" The three genin nodded. Vicky kept on mumbling something about spells, Sasuke's Phoenix tried to peck him, and Sakura's Skatey simply purred like a kitten. "The state you saw them in is called Taming Shock, a normal process which can last from a few hours to a week or two. During this time, the Pokegirl's mind reconfigures itself to the bond you made with it, making them more loyal to you in most cases, unless you obtain a rather violent, psychotic, or disturbed Pokegirl. In these instances, it takes more than one taming to get them into a Taming Shock.
"Whether your Pokegirls recover within a week, for the remainder of this week, we'll be working on teamwork exercises to get you three in unison with one another. When your Pokegirls do recover, they can be implemented into certain exercises I've made, so don't expect for them to be doing all of the work for you three. Now I want you three to try and take these bells from me. Aren't they shiny my precious genin?" Kakashi plucked three bells from the loop on his belt and jiggled them, creating a light 'ping' sound. "You have three hours, oh, and you can only use the surrounding area to hide in. I have clones that are spread out in this area and they'll force you back into this area. Is this clear?"
"Hai, sensei!" The three genin replied.
"Then GO!" Instantly, the three genin hurried into the surrounding trees, glancing at one another with some uncertainty in their eyes.
"He's a well trained jounin." Sakura began. "You heard what he said yesterday. He's well trained in jutsu and knows how to care for electric, rock, and ground type Pokegirls. That has to mean that he's aligned to raiton and doton jutsu I bet!"
"I'm sure you two can distract him while I attack him up close to get the bells." Sasuke stated as he kept his gaze on Kakashi, who was reading the orange book from yesterday.
"He's a jounin Sasuke. That means that he's going to be more than prepared for a frontal attack. Do either of you know genjutsu that isn't the henge?" Sakura raised her hand.
"I know the Kori Shinchuu no Jutsu thanks to my father buying the scroll from a dealer, but I don't have enough chakra to hold it for longer than a minute." Naruto nodded, though Sasuke turned to her.
"The sly mind affect technique? I've read it in my clan's personal library, but didn't find much of a use for it myself."
"Its still a useful technique!" Naruto quickly stated, hoping to keep Sakura's mood positive. "I was hoping that one of you could use the Kokohi no Jutsu to change the details on the kunai and shuriken, ya know, making them seem thinner or smaller as they're being thrown. That way, Kakashi would try to dodge, but wouldn't know how far he'd have to before they struck."
"Hn, this is just a waste of time!" At that, Sasuke ran out from the tree and threw kunai at Kakashi, who brought out his own and deflected the others. It looked as if Sasuke was pushing Kakashi back, but Naruto knew better than to underestimate a JOUNIN of all people, and some-what expected the sudden kick to the stomach that Kakashi delivered. As he spun in the air, Sasuke began to perform hand-seals, and brought his right hand to his mouth.
"I know that jutsu." Naruto mumbled, watching as a stream of flames came out of Sasuke's mouth, forming a large sphere that made direct contact with Kakashi. As Sakura cheered for the Uchiha, Naruto looked around, hoping for a sign of Kakashi, and noticed that where Kakashi should of been was the shadowy image of a log. 'So he used the Kawarimi no Jutsu? That means that he has the advantage now with not just Sasuke, but with all of us.'
"Why are you frowning Naruto? Sasuke just cooked Kakashi-sensei!"
"Exactly Sakura. Its like you said, Kakashi-sensei is a jounin, so he won't die from something so obvious like most katon jutsu. This means he has the advantage to attack not just Sasuke, but us too." Sakura slowly nodded and brought out a kunai from her pouch. Once Sasuke ended his jutsu, he walked towards the scolding remains of the log, and kicked it away. As soon as he kicked it, a pair of hands grabbed his ankles and dragged him into the ground. Moments after, Kakashi appeared with a smile on his hidden face. "On the count of three Sakura, we'll throw some kunai and go to another tree. Once we're away, I'll make some kage bunshins to distract Kakashi while you get Sasuke, are you fine with this plan?"
"Yea, got it Naruto."
"You were too forward with your attack Sasuke. I could see what you were planning before you even sought to do it. Always look underneath the underneath." As soon as he said that, Naruto and Sakura threw their kunai at the man, causing him to use Kawarimi no Jutsu again. Sakura, instead of following him, hurried out of the tree towards Sasuke.
"Dammit!" Naruto mumbled as he created twenty clones and sent five of them to follow Sakura. "I want the five on my right to go east, the other five to go west, and for the rest of you to wait until the clones with Sakura come into contact with Kakashi. He won't be expecting another batch so quickly."
"I won't be expecting what now?" Naruto, recognizing who was behind him, jumped out of the tree, instantly recalling how his remaining five clones were killed with a series of punches. As he landed, Sakura, Sasuke, and the clones looked at him, only to see that Kakashi was coming towards him.
"Get Sasuke out of there Sakura! I'm gonna need some help in a few!" Naruto shouted as he made ten clones and sent them towards Kakashi. Kakashi was able to take on ten unsuspecting clones under ten seconds, so, as long as Naruto got thirty seconds for him to set up Fuuton: Daitoppa, he would be able to force Kakashi away from the area. Hopefully, the time given would be enough to get Sasuke out of his hole and come up with an actual plan.
Ten seconds...
"This won't be enough to keep me occupied Naruto." Kakashi calmly stated as he landed a kick to two of the clone's heads, making the total number eight.
Fifteen seconds...
"Why are you just standing there Naruto! Make more clones!" Sasuke shouted as Sakura threw a kunai towards Kakashi. Instead of dodging it, he grabbed it by its handle and stabbed one of the clones with it, leaving six clones to fight. Why did Sakura have to try and help?
Twenty five seconds...
"This is the end!" Kakashi stabbed the last clone and ran towards Naruto while preparing hand-seals of his own.
"NARUTO!" Sasuke and Sakura shouted as Naruto counted thirty seconds.
"Fuuton: DAITOPPA!" Naruto shouted as a surge of air slammed into Kakashi, forcing him to fly over a patch of trees as a consequence of being so close to Naruto at the last moment. He cancelled the jutsu and turned to Sakura and Sasuke, who was almost out of the ground, and helped get him out.
"What was that?" Sasuke asked, wiping the dirt from his shirt as Naruto made fifteen clones to form a circle around the genin.
"Its a wind jutsu I learned the day before, but that's not important. What is important is that Kakashi-sensei will be coming back soon and-"
"Tell me how to do it." Sasuke interrupted, causing Naruto and Sakura to look at him in confusion.
"Uh, Sasuke-kun, this isn't the time to train. We need to come up with a plan to get the bells from sensei."
"Tell me how to use that jutsu." Naruto glared at the Uchiha, who glared right back at him. Right as he was about to reply, Sakura began to scream. Her eyes were wide with tears pouring from them for about fifteen seconds, that was, until she passed out.
"Sakura!" Naruto shouted as he reached for her, only for someone to grab his hand. He looked up to see Kakashi's smiling face, and then saw nothing but darkness.
"So, my new impression of you three is, you suck when it comes to working as a team!" Kakashi happily said as he sat in front of the three genin with his bento halfway gone. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura were tied to three wooden stumps with their heads tied to the stump as well, forcing them to look at their sensei. "I was impressed the first two minutes, when you three went to hide and talked about potential plans, but then we had someone who wasn't patient and decided to wing it." At that, Sasuke grunted.
"But sensei-"
"And then there was you Sakura." Kakashi interrupted, forcing the girl to be silent. "You stayed with Naruto and agreed to his plan, but the moment Sasuke was alone, you ran to his rescue, forcing Naruto to create the clones sooner than necessary to protect you and Sasuke. Not only that, but you kept on focusing on Naruto rather than getting Sasuke out of the ground. If you solely focused on Sasuke, you could of gotten him out in a minute, which would of given Naruto the additional aid he needed to combat me, especially if you helped him. At least you know something about teamwork, even if your timing is horrible.
"Then we have Naruto who, in comparison to you two, did the best. He was able to offer a plan, explained a bit of a strategy thanks to Sakura's information of what I told you three yesterday, and came up with a plan to keep me busy while Sakura got Sasuke. It wasn't the best of plans, but I'm not expecting for the Neo-Sennin from you three anytime soon. Even with how great you did Naruto, you relied on your clones far too much for my liking, and the last jutsu you used could of been implemented from the very start, especially with Sasuke's katon jutsu. So not even you are escaping punishment."
'Punishment?' Naruto thought as Kakashi put the bento on the ground and picked up his orange book.
"Chapter 1: An Orgy of Seventeen. Kimiko walked towards Ben in a lovely black bra with her panties torn to shreds from their previous night of blissful, enchanting sex. Even the greatest of kunoichi couldn't hold a candle to Kimiko's perfect hourglass body, her plump, delectable FF-cup, or even her smooth, curvy thighs..."
For the next week, all Team Seven did was teamwork exercises with a few combat plans discussed every once and a while. Their day started with Sakura yelling at Kakashi for being late, the three genin doing a teamwork exercise, which could last anywhere from an hour to ten minutes depending on how much they were willing to work with one another. After the exercises, they were to practice tree walking, something that Naruto could already do, but continued to do it in order to get better chakra control.
Sakura, from Naruto's perspective, began to change from her fangirl ways, slowly, but it was noticeable. The first sign was that she was focusing more on the tasks at hand, rather than focus on what Sasuke said in general. This tended to happen during their teamwork exercises, since after that she would cling to the Uchiha's words as if they were from the Hokage. In terms of strength, the push ups and sit ups she was assigned to do helped, but give the extra "kick" that a punch should have, as Kakashi told her. The one area she did excel in was with chakra control, which was thanks to the tree walking exercise. She was the only one, other than him, to run up and down the tree until she couldn't stick onto the tree any longer, which increased her chakra reserves. At least, that was what Kakashi told them at the end of the week.
Sasuke was, without a doubt, the most troublesome person Naruto had ever met. Each day, whenever Kakashi used a jutsu that he didn't know, the boy would ask for information about it, what it did, and how he could do it. All Kakashi did was show him the hand-seals, but nothing else, forcing Sasuke to get angry and try to force his anger on their sensei, as well as Naruto and Sakura during the teamwork exercises. With all of the physical work he and Sasuke did, the Uchiha got not only stronger, but faster as well. He could run circles around Sakura, and forced Naruto to channel chakra into his system in order to catch up to the Uchiha at times. In terms of chakra, Sasuke couldn't run up the tree like he and Sakura could by the end of the week, but he could walk up and down it several times before having to take a break.
With himself, Naruto found that he, while he couldn't use the teamwork exercises with his teammates to the full extent, could use them with Naruko and Valkyria. When Vicky got out of her Taming Shock, which only took three days, he had her fight against Valkyria and Naruko to determine what she could do with her "magic" attacks. All Naruto could say was that he was honestly impressed with what magic could allow. It was like chakra in many ways, except more spiritual with a third of the it being physical, with the power it produced in the form of attacks being stronger than most C-ranked jutsu. Magic could still be beaten, since it was neither strong or weak against any type of element, so getting past Vicky's Barrier and Aura Barrier, which she could make nearly at an instant, was tricky if not timed right.
Vicky's Barriers, for example, could be broken with a strong enough attack if they're projected in front of her, rather than being "held" by her physically. It was the same with her other magic attacks, Mystic Bolt, Mana Bolt, and Power Bolt, which were launched from the jewel on her staff. He didn't know what made each Bolt different from each other, but he wasn't going to question it while they were being launched at him and his clones. By the time that she was done fighting against Valkyria and Naruko, the three were exhausted, making the three-way spar end in a draw, though the three Pokegirls promised to fight again in the future.
Back to Naruto's training with his team, the physical exercises helped him become stronger, though most of it was shown when they had to fight against Kakashi-sensei. He could punch harder than Sasuke could, but against the Uchiha's speed, each punch was met with two, making Naruto add buying a pair of weights to the total list of things he had to do in the future. Chakra wise, he felt his chakra become more at ease when he used it, finding out that he could create twice as many clones as he could in the past, as well as use the Goukakyuu no Jutsu for about thirty seconds without any pain in his chest. Another benefit of the tree walking exercise was, with all of the leaves that would fall as he ran up and down the tree, he could grab them and attach some with his chakra, forcing him to manipulate it as he continued to run.
All in all, Naruto had to admit, despite the troubles that his team first had, he was starting to get used to his teammates, his late sensei, and found himself enjoying them. Sakura was starting to like him, Sasuke wasn't pursuing him for jutsu, and Kakashi started to show up up half an hour earlier than usual, making things worth it with his team. With his Pokegirls fully equip with some necessary items he thought would be best for them, he was sure that, as long as he had his Pokegirls, that nothing could stand in their way.
"Hello my precious little genin. Today is the day where we'll be implementing our Pokegirls into our teamwork exercises, but first, I'd like to explain to you the benefits the Hokage mentioned to you three last week. You see, one of the perks of being a Pokegirl-possessing ninja is that you're allowed to look into the Shinobi Library without the need of a sensei, but you're still restricted to B-ranked jutsu without a signature from one. Despite this, you can only check out a jutsu from C-rank and below, though you can hold onto them for a month, rather than the week limit most ninjas have to abide by.
"Another benefit is that your money can be split from coin to bill, or to credits, which is Pokedex cash, that can be spent in the village, or at the Pokegirl shop that is registered in the map function of your Pokedex. With each emergence of a Pokegirl, new things are brought with them, meaning that certain items are unique for a limited time, so always check into the shop when you have free time. Finally, the last thing that is most beneficial to you three is that, thanks to you being in the Ninja Project, you are allowed to bring out your Pokegirls in the village, as well as outside it with permission from the Hokage or myself. Its time that Pokegirls are known in the village, and with the public seeing good things from them in the hands of genin, the older shinobi won't be as hard pressed to getting a Pokegirl."
"So how are we going to use our Pokegirls with us sensei?"
"AAAHHHHH!" Naruto, as did his teammates and their sensei, looked around with their hands reaching for their kunai. Whatever made that sound was not only close by, but was emitting a powerful chakra signature. As it got closer to them, the trees in front of them began to turn white, withering with the leaves dropping with ease.
'What the hell?' Naruto suddenly thought as a half horse-half girl Pokegirl came running towards them. She had to of been nine feet tall with pale blue skin, silky white fur that covered her horse body and a blue tail that matched the color of her hooves. Her hair was sky blue, though her eyes were a stunning red, and her breasts, which had to of been a bountiful D, were covered in bandages. What had him so surprised was that there was a girl riding on the back of the half horse Pokegirl.
The rider of the Pokegirl was 6'7 with obvious muscles that made her more sexually appealing in his eyes. She had a DD-bust, making it one of the largest Naruto ever saw on someone, though they were wrapped up by bandages, didn't hide her gray skin, the long, charcoal black hair the girl had, or her gold eyes with black scleras, which was something he thought was cool about her. She wore a torn cloak with what looked to be a quiver of arrows on her back, but couldn't see anything in the form of a bow. Once the two were close enough, the horse girl stopped, releasing a loud neigh as its rider looked at them.
"Where are we?" The rider spoke. Her tone was calm, though demanding, which reminded him of Sasuke in more ways than one.
"You're within Konoha. I take it that you and your mount are Pokegirls?" Kakashi asked, lowering his kunai. The rider nodded, looking at Naruto and his teammates with a cocky look in her eyes.
"They wield weapons like you, but don't seem to know the true meaning of battle, nor of the realization of death. Pathetic." Naruto glared at the Pokegirl, and felt Sasuke's chakra spike at the last bit of the woman's sentence. "Oh, so I guess you two know of death then? Then show me..." With no sign or reason, a snowstorm suddenly began, forcing Naruto to cover his eyes. "SHOW ME HOW YOU'LL KILL LIKE THEY'VE BEEN KILLED!" The woman screamed as Naruto created twenty clones, sending five to scope from above as the rest began to try and attack the two Pokegirls.
"Formation D!" Naruto called out, hoping that Kakashi and his teammates heard him as he prepared to use Fuuton: Daitoppa. Instantly, he stopped and created three clones to use Fuuton: Daitoppa as he tried to regain his senses. 'Its so cold...Whatever killed the clones did it with something colder than I've ever felt before.' The cold sensation died after two minutes, but during those two minutes, the two Pokegirls were able to get closer to his position, killed two out of his three clones, and somehow came into contact with Sasuke.
"Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu!" He heard Sasuke and Kakashi shout as the clearing was visible again, revealing that the two Pokegirls were riding away from the twin fireballs. Kakashi, most likely thanks to his years of shinobi service, was able to stretch his fireball longer, as well as control it much better than Sasuke could, allowing him to hit the back legs of the horse Pokegirl.
"Mina!" The woman shouted as she got off the horse girl and pulled out an Ultra Ball. As the horse Pokegirl was recalled, the woman glared at Kakashi, waved her hands, and caused a bow made of ice and steel to appear. Before I became a Hun, I was taught how to use the magic of hammerspace, and now it shall be used against you! INFINITE ARROWS!" In one smooth motion, the Hun grabbed an arrow, lined it up with her bow, and shot a hundred arrows at the same time.
"The hell!" Naruto said as he swapped placed with one of the clones watching from the trees. He felt his body become numb, most likely thanks to the Ravage launching those senbon-like feathers at him, and noticed that Kakashi, Sakura, and Sasuke were running up the nearby trees. "Do you got a plan sensei?"
"Yea." He stated as he replaced himself with a log, appearing next to him. The moment he did, he lifted his arms above him and fired a large burst of raiton chakra. "Calling for backup." Another sudden blizzard appeared, quickly making it hard for Naruto to see anything in front of him as he heard the sounds of air splitting.
"Get off the trees!" Naruto shouted as he hurried down the tree he was on. As soon as he saw the others get down, arrows broke through them, making chunks fall towards them faster than he would of expected. 'Shit!' Naruto swapped places with one of the tree chunks, creating five clones to use as much of a Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu as they could manage while he found a good spot to use Doton: Dochuu Eigyo. Not only that, but he would have to get a clone to Kakashi and his teammates to tell them what he would do, hoping that they would be able to keep the Hun occupied, as well as weaken her enough for him to land a kill shot, or even knock her out. 'Could I bring out my Pokegirls?' He knew that he could, but he knew that Valkyria and Vicky would be the only ones that would be useful in this situation, and even he wasn't sure how they could be able to see in a snow storm.
Then he had to take away Sasuke's Phoenix from the total equation. Normally, like with the katon jutsu, a fire type would be rather good, but they didn't have to start a forest fire, not to mention that he was sure that the team would have to pay for the damages that are done to the area. Then there was Sakura's Skatey, which was weak against the Ice type attacks, hence limiting Sakura's overall usefulness to the situation. Kakashi, their sensei, could of taken care of the Pokegirl by himself, Naruto figured, but couldn't as long as the freaky snow storm was still in place. It could be for that same reason that Kakashi didn't bring out any of his Pokegirls the moment that things started to turn south.
"Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu!" Naruto heard three of his clones call out.
"Fuuton: Daitoppa!" The other two clones responded, creating an inferno that made the snow storm stop instantly. Thanks to the sudden visibility, he was able to see that Sakura was on the ground, bandaging her right shoulder and hurried over to her.
"Stupid arrows nicked my shoulder. I hope she gets executed." Sakura told him as he pulled out more bandages for her to use. Naruto nodded, though he didn't feel the same way as he watched Kakashi lift his headband, and, without a reason to do so, the Hun passed out, causing Kakashi to pull out an Ultra Ball of his own to catch the Hun. Right as he did so, Naruto felt another spike of chakra, and looked upwards.
"Kakashi-sensei, ABOVE!" From his position, Naruto could see the huge, light blue portal that brought clouds towards it, spinning in a hypnotic fashion as twenty brown feathered Pokegirls with wings that were separate from their body, reminding him that they must of been Racks, the pre-evolved form of the Phoenix Sasuke had, and began to fly amongst Konoha, as well as five of them towards them. 'Why do I get the feeling that we're going to be quite busy from now on?'
-Author Notes-
Yea, I'm still in the writing mood, and I'm happy with what I've written at the moment. I might write more tonight and tomorrow, I might not, but I know that there should be about two, maybe three more chapters to explain more of the basics of being a tamer, Pokegirls, and a member of the Ninja Project before we get off to the next part of the story.

Man, I can't WAIT til the next part of the story. I'll be having fun with our favorite Kiri nukenin!
Well, you know the drill. Review, ask questions, and if you have a suggestion for a NON-Legendary Pokegirl's appearance, suggest it, and it might make an appearance in the story either now, or at a later date.
Until next time everyone!
