Author: welp, I don't really have anything to report...wait, I'm updating the other two Naruto stories I have up here, for all those that are interested. Have fun with those...
Vid: that may have been true, if you hadn't gotten it all wrong...Shizune Is her blood child, kakashi was the one that was adopted...the first eight chapters of the last story pointed that out.For future reference I will state which ones were blood child, and which ones weren't
The fourth Hokage, Shizune, and Iruka were all Tsunade's and Jiraya's blood children, Kakashi being adopted a little later. That help? I don't really blame you for the mix up...it's kinda been awhile since it was pointed out.
General Misc: Also known as miscellaneous Soldier.
Doing well is the whole point...XD...hope you enjoy this chapter.
Boomfur riottail: ...( Head implodes at the thought of that pairing)
glad you enjoyed the pairing...expect to have quite a few pairings that stand out among the rest...
Like Shikamaru and ( static is heard in the background)...that's going to be fun to type...
Anidragon77: Jiraiya was the fifth Hokage...as stated through out most of the last story...along with Shizune being Tsunade's daughter...which was stated within the first eight chapters...
...yeah, I think you missed something...
Though I don't blame you XD, it's kinda been a little long since you had to worry about it, that and the giantass mechanical robots kinda distracting everyone.
Gunslaver: (claps) congratulations, not only did you guess the song from last chapter, but you also guessed the inspiration for Ruby. Yes, she was passed off Raider from fate/stray nights. Figured I could go beyond the cross overs that usually happen in the Naruto world, for example: Bleach, inuyusha, Yu Yu hakiso ( or however the hell you spell it)...harry potter ( shudders at the thought) Though I still don't know how that one would work.
As for Irvine's inspiration, no He was not based off berserker, no, the Hercules thing was decided from the simple fact that Hercules was the only person that was strong enough when you took out the Olympus ( or however you spell it) gods, the monsters, and the titans...so yeah. Besides, if Irvine was based off Berserker, then how would that explain his brother, Zack?
As for the genin's, give it time, I can't exactly throw all thirty something characters that are in this story into the same damn chapter at once. Your only allowed to state something like that after the story is finished...
Matt-kun: It's all good, but you should know ahead of time...I'm more then just a Otaku my friend, no, I actually spent most of my childhood in japan, till my father retired from active duty and moved back to the states. To me, anime just reminds me a bit of what my old home was like...
And about the awesome parks they had over there...XD damn, I missed those large parks.
If you never check alerts. Then just attach it to favorites...all you have to do is get off your lazy ass and do it...XD
Hasabusa: what can I say, I wanted to sue the song from one of my favorite animes. The man who made it was truly a genius, and to think, he didn't just show up one day with it, no, he went through quite a bit of manga idea' before finally being able to come up with one that worked...tis is one of the few people I respect.
That and the person who first created anime in general...most people don't even think about him
Thedisturbedone666666: alas, it seems I'm becoming to predictable, in a way that is true and in a way that is false. Which one is false and which one is true I will leave to you...
Basically, I'm not giving any real information on it...you'll just have to read for yourself.
Major Hinata Fan: Tis been awhile since you last reviewed, and wow, even with being so long you managed to remember that Jiraiya was the fifth..( Whistles loudly) He nice to see that your still breathing...
Razzy the player: no one is sane in this world, so no, your not insane..your just like everybody else...
That, and thinking is overrated...like pants.
.( Hands him the package)...be careful...it breaks easily...
disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, or anything else for that matter...unless I divided by zero and created a black hole that would engulf the world itself, that would show them...
Wait, what was that?
Enjoy the fic

Another Village, another point of view...
" Alright, is everyone accounted for?" Hinata called out, as she made her way through the giant grass and into an seemingly 'open' area. It was tall enough to come up to her shoulders, making it hard to travel. She would have jumped through the trees, but they hadn't seen a forest for half an hour. It was just one giant grassy plain, all of which made sense, since they were looking for the village hidden in the grass after all. Looking back, she wondered if some of them had wandered a little to far way from the others.
" Yo." Hinata heard someone call out, turning around to see Kakashi with his book out. Hinata wondered why he would chose a time like this to read his book, of all places. The second thing she wondered was how he was able to travel through the grass. Taking note that he was indeed alive, she looked out for the others. " If your wondering, everyone except Shino should be fine."
" Why?" Hinata asked, once again giving her attention back to the older nin.
" Well it turns out that this area is a breeding grounds for his bugs, and they are apparently taking up the opportunity as it's given." Kakashi stated, turning the page in his book. " Basically, they're screwing each other in his body and causing him to act a little...abnormal." A shadow flew by them, A scream following it. Hinata raised an eyebrow at Kakashi.
" We theorize that after a certain amount of time, he will slowly revert back to his regular behavior patten. Though we have yet to take into consideration of his amount of bugs, the things he had consumed before hand, the hormones of said bugs..."
" Basically saying, you guy's have no clue when he's going to be normal again, right?"
" Pretty much." Kakashi replied, looking over towards the side. " Looks like you finally made it, Shizune." Shizune sighed as she walked towards them, not having the best of times from what they could tell.
"Why the hell did I wear high heels again?" Shizune asked, looking down at her now ruined shoes. Of all the times she had to chose to wear high heels, it had to be today. She thought that getting to the village wouldn't be so difficult, and now, she was paying the price. Hinata could only look at the jounin in pity. " This was one of my good pairs too.."
" It's a long shot, but when we left konoha, was one of those large suitcase's you packed full of your shoe collection?"
" Don't, start, Kakashi." said person only changed the page, seemingly paying more attention to it then the two women before him. Hinata looked at the two, wondering when they were ever going to grow up. Hinata noticed that they were missing someone.
" Where's Sakura-chan?"
" Present." It took her some effort, but she was able to crawl her way out of the grass and make it into the area. She gasped a bit, some sweat coming down her forehead. " That had to be the most annoying environmental obstacle I have ever witnessed...I hate how tall the grass is." Everyone stared at her, blinking. Wanting to change the subject, Sakura looked over at Kakashi.
" So, when are the people from grass going to arrive?" Sakura asked, Kakashi snapping too and thinking about it himself.
" It depends on how long it takes until they know we're in the area. Smaller villages have a tendency to actually hide they're villages, as opposed to the larger ones. They usually send out a group of people to meet with anyone how wants to enter the village, so we may be waiting awhile.." Suddenly, Shino was thrown out of the grass and into the area, quickly getting up and preparing his bugs. "...or not."
The grass rustled, whoever was heading towards them apparently moving towards them at a decently high spend. Jumping up from the grass, the nin started to run on top of it towards them ( pissing off every one save for Hinata and Shino, for not thinking of just running on top of the grass ). Reaching the area, they lowered they're various weapons towards them, looking down on them from on top of the grass.
" What is your business?"
" We wish to talk to your leader about making a treaty?" Hinata stated, stepping forward. " In hopes of being able to fend off the metal creatures." The grass nin talked among one another, the apparent leader of the group looking back over at Hinata.
"Denied."
" Why!?" Hinata asked, the leader glaring at Hinata.
" In joining with you, the creatures would most likely target the hidden grass. As far as we know, the metal creatures will be heading for only the larger villages, leaving us out from any of the destruction. " The leader stated, running his hand through his brown hair. " Leave now."
" But-."
" Oboro, stop being an ass." someone called out, walking next to the 'leader' of the group. It was a tall woman, her long hair around the same color as Hinata's and kept in a pony tail. She wore and interesting outfit. A red and white top, no sleeves, and greenish shorts. What really stood out about her was the large color around her neck, and the extremely large sword she was carrying on her shoulder. " We were already told to let them through."
The woman looked over at a few of the nins that were standing on the grass. " You, take are guests to the village leader." The nin looked at each other, then over at Oboro. Knowing that he was going to be defeated in this, he nodded his head to give them the go ahead. Jumping down, they started to explain on how to run on the grass. Oboro glared at the group, turning around and making his way towards the village. The woman turning towards him.
" Leaving?"
" I'm going to go scan over the forest, I'll be back in a few hours Karura." With that, he started to make his way in the opposite direction of the group, the remaining ( those who weren't talking to the group of people from the leaf) members of his 'squad' following suit and leaving the area. Karura looked at the back of Oboro with so amusement, turning back towards the group of leaf nin.
" So, have you learned it yet?" she asked, seeing Hinata, Sakura, Kakashi, and Shizune standing on the grass. " Where's the other?" She heard someone scream, looking up to see someone flying out into the grass.
" Yeah, when he found out about how he could expel himself off the grass like a catapult, he-."
" An Aburame, right?" She asked, Kakashi nodding his head in confirmation.
" Yes, but how did you k-?"
" They come by here every so often to breed they're bugs, they have a neutral contract of not disturbing the village in exchange for being able to let they're bugs breed here, it's amusing to watch them dance, launch themselves into the air, skip on the grass..." Everyone of the leaf nins let they're jaws drop tot he floor.
" Skip!?"
" Yeah, they especially like to do that. We even have a few recording scrolls of one Aburmane by the name of Shibi skipping around the area, trying to pick various flowers. I know this because he tried to get me to help him in the process..."
" Oh, my, god...this is perfect black mail material." " Regardless of that, would you mind leading us to the village now?" Shizune asked, Karura raising an eyebrow.
" What about your friend?"
" He planted a female bug on me an hour back, so he should have no problem catching up." Kakashi stated, pulling his book out. " Lead the way..."
" Sure, sure..." Karura turned around, looking over at the other nin in the area. " Go ahead and return to your squad, since I'm apparently going to be leading them. That, and I'm not going to miss the chance to watch an Aburame during matting season." The nin jumped out of the area and onto the grass, running along the grass towards they're squad. Looking at the group of leaf nin, she tilted her head in the direction of the village and started to walk towards it, the leaf shinobi following suit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It had been around half an hour since meeting the grass nin and making they're way towards the village, taking they're time and walking on the grass. To those who did not wear boots of various kinds, the grass felt good to walk on, and because it was so thick, it was like a elevated version of sand. Only without it getting in various improper places, much to they're delight.
Karura stopped, looking down at the grass, the leaf nin stopping and wondering what she was doing. Looking around the area, she walked a little towards the left, sinking her foot a little into the grass. Wiggling it a bit, she smiled and looked towards the group. " Alright, I've found the entrance to the village, if you would be so kinda as to enter..."
"Want entrance?"
"The one below the grass." Karura stated, Shizune looking at the grassy area with a curious expression. " Oh, wait, I forgot to do it again..." Looking towards the area that she was examining earlier, she began to form seals, whispering something. A symbol appeared over the grass, it retreating into the earth, revealing an open area. Jumping into the area, Karura signaled for them to follow suit. Glancing at each other, they looked at her in confusion.
" It's the entrance to the village, just trust me." She said, seeing everyone fo the leaf nin hesitating a bit. " Besides, if anything happened to you all, Naruto would have my head."
" You know Naruto-kun?"
" More or less, if you want, I can tell you what I know about him." With that, Hinata immediately jumped onto the ground next to Karura, looking back up at the others.
" What are you waiting for?" Everyone else sweat dropped, the remaining leaf nin jumping onto the platform. When everyone was on, Kuraru began to form seals. A symbol appeared underneath them, the earth shaking and beginning to sink into the ground. It suddenly picked up, deciding rapidly into the ground, everyone using chakra through they're feet to cling to the ground. In just a few short seconds, they had made it through the earth and reached they're location...the grass village.
" Wow..." Was all Hinata could say after seeing it, the sight of the immense city over whelming her. The area was immense, able to hold five or six story buildings and still have room for an extra two or three. The buildings were made out of stone, beautifully made from what she could tell were minerals of the earth, from the way it shined. There were many streets, some suspended high in the area above other ones, yellowish rocks used to light the way in the city. The bottom was almost impossible to see, however, it being completely dark.
The ground of land they where standing on was floating in the middle of the air, flying through out the city and heading towards a predestined area. They're were other piece's of ground flying throughout the city, transporting various people to they're destination. With a city like this, they would need something to get around it for the people with no Shinobi training. Maybe the new village could benefit from this sort of thing in a away, maybe.
Flying through the air for a few minutes, the finally reached they're destination.
A large building stood at the end of the giant 'cave' in which the city was, it reaching from top to bottom of it. Most of the streets connected in some form or manner to it, from what Hinata could tell anyway. The banner of the grass village hanging down in front of the building, it being a combination of various green/ white/ black colors. The piece of ground they where standing on soon landed in front of the building, thankfully at the top of the long set of stairs that where in front of the building. Kuraru stepped off the ground, walking towards the building with the group of leaf nin following.
The Shinobi guarding the door stood to attention when Kuraru walked by, just a simple nod signaling them to let the leaf nin through. From there, they traveled down a hallway full of doors, passing by various offices, facilities, and even a briefing room or two. Finally reaching the end of the hallway, Kuraru entered the very last room, the group of shinobi looking at each other and wondering on who should go in. Stepping forward a few seconds later, hinata went inside of the room.
Inside the room sat a woman, probably thirty years old and above. Her outfit being mainly a tan like color , a little bit of red running down it and on the end of the short sleeve's, a white long sleeve one being worn underneath it. She wore a similar skirt, the only thing about her shirt that wasn't red being the blue collar of the shirt. Her cat like ears twitched, her pony tailed hair swaying as she looked up from her work.
" I'm guessing these are the leaf nin?" Kuraru nodded in confirmation, " Welcome, Tsunade sent us message ahead of time about you coming to form a treaty."
" Yea, that's what we hope to accomplish..."
" First, allow me to introduce myself, my name is Elulu, the leader of the hidden village in the grass and the head medic-nin. You are?"
" Hyuuga Hinata." Hinata was taken back when Elulu suddenly stood up from her chair.
" Your..." Hinata was waiting for what Elulu was about to say, preparing herself for what may happen. The person in question shaking her head and regained her composure, sitting back down in her chair. " I'm sorry, you just took me by surprise. You must be tired, please rest here and let us talk about it tomorrow." Hinata was about to ask her about it, but let it drop and walked out of the door. Elulu sat back in her chair, thinking about what she had just learned. Karura walked in a minute later, seeing Elulu deeply thinking about what had gone on.
" You sure about making a treaty with them?" Karura asked, Elulu looking over towards her.
" I have no problem with it, but Oboro is going to give us trouble on the matter." Elulu leaned forward. " Ever since that time with the poisonous gas..."
"He'll never forget what Naruto did..." Elulu just closed her eyes as she thought about it.
" We all won't..."

author: Well, that's all for now...damn, I don't have a catchy phrase to say at this point...screw it, anyway, Read and review.
