Recap:
Looking at the stunned Kakashi, Naruto flipped off of the tree and landed in front of the slightly shocked jonin in a crouch. "Now Kakashi-sensei, Sasuke-teme and I have something to show you. And something to teach you and Sakura-chan," exclaimed Naruto as Sasuke and Sakura came down from their trees at a much more sedate pace.
Story Start:
Kakashi raised his visible eyebrow and said "Oh? And what might that be?"
Naruto held out his wrist showing off his bracelet and said "remember when we told you about Ichigo, and Uryu?"
Nodding his head Kakashi said "Hai."
With a grin Naruto said "This is Ichigo."
Kakashi's brow nit in confusion and said "Ichigo is a bracelet?"
Naruto laughed and said "Not quite this is form one. Now for form two. Wake Ichigo!" the blond finished flipping his wrist as the blade appeared so that he grasped the hilt.
Well there goes the theory of sealed weapons Kakashi thought as he eyed the double bladed weapon grasped in Naruto's hand.
"Alright this is form two of three." Naruto said angling the sword so the blades caught the light.
Kakashi cocked his head and asked "What exactly is Ichigo?"
Sasuke sighed and bonked Naruto upside the head. "Owww…okay I'll be clearer, jeese." said Naruto rubbing his head.
"Ichigo, and Uryu for that matter are summons." Naruto explained.
Well that makes sense Kakashi thought nodding his understanding.
"Okay so Otou-san has given us permission to allow you to take the Toraiaru no Ryuu (trial of dragons)." Naruto said.
"Toraiaru no Ryuu?" Kakashi questioned in confusion.
Sasuke sighed again and raised a brow at his brother. "Alright I get it jeese some people." Naruto said at the look.
"Ichigo and Uryu are not ordinary summons. You don't form a contract with the entire species, but instead form a contract with just one of them. This one is chosen for you by the Shiyakusho no Korou (council of elders) only if you pass the Toraiaru no Ryuu." Naruto explained.
"Okay, so why would we want to take this Toraiaru no Ryuu?" Kakashi asked.
Naruto blinked and said "Well you don't have to, but we thought we'd ask."
"I'll take it!" Sakura said a look of determination on her face.
Nodding Naruto looked at Kakashi and said "Before you decide let me show you the third form."
"Very well." replied Kakashi unimpressed.
Nodding Naruto said "REND THE HEAVENS ICHIGO!" as he tossed his blade sky ward.
Kakashi's visible eye widened as the sky darkened. "Whadya want?" echoed as the smoke cleared reveling a black dragon with a white underside and golden eyes. Atop his head a crown of horns rests in bright orange.
With a gulp Kakashi stared at the giant western beast that rose above the trees beating its wings in a slow sweep so as not to destroy anything. "Kakashi-sensei, Sakura-chan meet Ichigo-san." Naruto said motioning to the beast.
"Ichigo-san, this is Kakashi-sensei, and Sakura-chan." Naruto continued finishing the introductions.
Cocking his head Ichigo said "Konichiwa…" and let his sentence trail off.
Sakura bowed and said "Konichiwa Ichigo-san."
Nodding Ichigo acknowledged her reply as he eyed the shocked Kakashi. With a pulse of energy Ichigo shrunk in size, stopping when he reached the size of a small dog. Flying over the now miniature dragon landed on Naruto's head and said "I'm board."
"Really? Well Sakura-chan's gonna take the Toraiaru no Ryuu, so that should be interesting right?" Naruto replied.
"Oh?" replied Ichigo lifting his head to look at the pink haired girl.
Sakura blushed under the dragon's gaze and looking down said "Hair."
"That's Ichigo?" exclaimed Kakashi finally finding his voice.
"Hair!" exclaimed Naruto happily.
"Got a problem with that?" asked Ichigo pinning his slit eyed gaze on the silver haired shinobi.
"Iie, not really." Kakashi was quick to reply.
"That's what I thought." Ichigo said with a huff.
Sasuke rolled his eyes before flipping his wrist and saying "Wake Uryu!"
"Your not going to…" Kakashi started only to trail off as Sasuke tossed his rapier into the air and said "ARISE TO THE HEAVENS URYU!"
Once again the skies darkened. This time they revealed a white (Asian style) bodied dragon with blue black horns/whiskers adorning his forehead. The dragon turned his black gaze of the miniature form of Ichigo and said "Scum."
Ichigo rolled his eyes and said "Cry me a river."
Shaking his head Uryu pulsed with energy shrinking until he reached the same size as Ichigo and rested on Sasuke's shoulders. "Konichiwa Uryu-san." Sakura said bowing to the now miniature dragon.
Nodding his head Uryu acknowledged Sakura's greeting. "So what do you think Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked.
Shaking his head to clear it Kakashi said "Iie, I don't think so."
"Kay, that works to after all we'll be gone for about a week and someone should look out for Tazuna-san and his family." Naruto said with a smile.
"We're going some were?" Sakura asked in confusion.
"Hai, to take the Toraiaru no Ryuu you have to go to Rikujou no Ryuu (land of dragons)." Sasuke said.
"Umm okay…how do we get to Rikujou no Ryuu then?" Sakura asked.
"Oh that's easy we'll just ask Ichigo or Uryu to open the Iriguchi no Yajuu (gate of beasts)." Naruto chirped happily.
"Okay…lets go!" exclaimed Sakura eager to go.
"Hold on a minuet." Kakashi said drawing the group of genin, pulse dragons attention to him.
"Nani?" asked Naruto in confusion.
"While it is true that Zabuza will be out for about a week. I myself will be of little help for the same amount of time." Kakashi explained.
"I'll stay." Sasuke volunteered before Naruto could say anything.
Naruto sighed and said "Okay well then Ichigo open up the gate will you?"
Sakura gulped as the mini dragon flew to a spot in front of them and seemed to disappear all together. "Wha..?" the pink haired kunoichi asked as a large gate shimmered into existence were the dragon had disappeared.
Slowly the gate opened reviling a shimmering portal behind it. "Alright here we go!" exclaimed Naruto as he led his pink haired teammate threw the portal.
Kakashi blinked as the gate swung closed behind his two genin and then it seemed to disappear. "Well that's interesting." said Kakashi.
"Hnn." replied Sasuke as he and the silver haired jonin turned and let the clearing. Making it back tot Tazuna's house the two entered the small house. "Back already?" Tsunami asked coming into the living room.
"Hai." replied Sasuke nonplused.
Blinking Tsunami looked back and forth between Kakashi and the dark haired genin before asking "Were are Sakura-chan and Naruto-kun?"
"Oh they had something they had to take care of." Kakashi answered giving the women his trade mark eye smile.
Tsunami looked back at the silver haired man a slight blush to her cheeks as she frowned and said "Are you sure they will be okay by themselves?"
"They are with Ichigo. While incompetent in most things when it comes to looking out for his friends the strawberry is fairly good." Uryu spoke up from Sasuke's shoulders.
Tsunami's eyes widened as she looked at the mini dragon. He's not a stuffed animal! she thought to herself in shock before fainting.
"Well that went well don't you think?" Kakashi asked as he caught the fainting woman before she could hit the ground.
…with Sakura and Naruto…
Sakura squinted at the suddenly glaring sun as she shielded her eyes and looked out over the dessert she and her blond companion had arrived at.
The end.
