R & R!

Once again, not very imaginitive...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto went around, enlisting the help of the other shinobi. Some more reluctantly than others, but they still came.

"Okay everyone...I'm glad to see that you came. We need to find the wormhole that leads to our village! W-Where's Sasuke?!" Naruto yelled.

"He said something about a fight in America," Kakashi said, reading Make-Out Paradise.

"Rrgh...well, we just need to keep a constant watch over the city. Kakashi will be making a portal that should lead to the city back home. If someone finds it, call everyone with these," Naruto handed out walkie talkies.

"What if the portal closes?" Hinata asked.

"Use your chakra to keep it open. It should give us all enough time to get there and through."

"What if it's the wrong one?"

"Use your chakra to keep it open ande take a peek through! Go back if it's the wrong one!" Naruto nodded.

'Wow..Naruto thought this through so well!' Hinata thought.

"Any questions? Good. Hinata, you're at point A, and..." Naruto read off a list of names and points. "So, we're ready now? Let's go!"

They reported to their assigned points and Naruto thought... 'I sure hope that what I taught Emi has paid off...'

"Demon Fox to team, Demon fox to team, Kakashi will be generating a wormhole. Keep your eyes out for the tiniest hint of a portal, over!"

"Demon Fox? What's with the stupid nicknames?"

"Hey, shut up Dog Breath!"

"Who the squeaky gave me that squeakyen name?!" he growled.

"Found it! Outside the marketplace!" Emi fizzled over bad signal.

"Ozayzzzbezzrightzzzzthere!" Naruto barely came through. "Keepzzzzzzzzzportal!"

"I think I know what he means," she jumped over to the portal and made it big enough for everyone else to get through.

They all walked through and emerged into a naked forest.

"Wh-what happened to all the leaves? What is this ground...I've never seen this kind of surface. Only this portion of the forest is burnt up," Kakashi looked around.

"Everyone! Head towards the village, or else we may not find it..." Emi said.

"What do you mean? It's not like he could have moved the village!" Naruto raised an eyebrow.

"No, but from what I learned from Kakashi, he can move us away from us. Move the tip of a compass, teleport us through the village without us knowing, and if he's as strong as Kakashi says, kill us," Emi said seriously.

"Alright, well let's transform into something...peaceful. I know what I'll be!" Naruto nodded.

Everyone changed into an animal of some sort and ran into the woods. The village came into view and they emerged to a completely empty scene.

Kiba changed back. "What the heck is going on?! No bad guys, no fighting, where's the-"

A kunai shot through his arm and dragged him with indescribable force. It took him a few feet and pinned his arm to the tree.

"Hm. Any other animal friends, Mr. Dolittle? Ah, hello there..." his foot moved quickly and launched a ferret which turned back into Hinata. He threw more kunai which nailed her feet into the ground. His foot raised and was few inches away from crushing a lizard. Just before impact, Naruto changed back and launched the enemy.

"Nobody is gonna crush me! Uzumaki Naruto, the future Hokage!" he held out his fist. Emi became human and attempted to release her captured friends, she pulled back her hands in pain.

"What did you do to those kunai?" Emi asked the man.

"I left behind traces of chakra in order to give them power and to slowly electrecute your friends. I assume you are wondering, so here...bow down to me, Sentinel, your future ruler!"

"Emi?" Naruto glanced over.

"Let's do it!" she nodded back. The grabbed each others' elbows and ran toward Sentinel. They wrapped around a log which took his place.

"Do plan two!" they turned around and shot the log back in his face. he unfortuantely caught it and dashed towards them.

"Very good control of your body..." he wrapped them back around the log and speared their arms through each others' and the log. "...but lack of your mind. It get's easier to pin ya every time. Looks like the only real competition is going to be Kakashi!"

Naruto tried to move, but the small electric shock got much stronger. Emi clenched her arm.

"If you move, you're just torturing your friend! Good luck escaping! Mahahahaha!" Naruto clenched his arm and ripped it off of the spike.

"Just a second Emi!" Sentinel still didn't notice that Naruto got free. He grabbed onto the spike and took away some of the chroma of it.

"Naruto, what are you doing?" she whispered. "Wait...This isn't hurting me! Naruto stop! You're gonna kill yourself!"

"I don't care. This jackass is gonna die! All his chakra is in me. It hurts, but it's more energy I can spend!" the spike released and Naruto flung it around back at Sentinel.

"You're very skilled little Hokage. Ha! If you honestly want to be Hokage you'll have to train for a few more years. Say, 30, maybe 40 years!" he caught it and crushed it in his palm. Naruto ran over to the pinned fown ninjas and attempted to do the same to their items of capturism. (A/N: Not a real word, is it?)

"I don't think so," he grabbed Naruto by the neck. "...one of you is annoying enough! I can't imagine any more."

"Hey Sensiless! Are you just gonna babble on or actually fight one of us?!" Kiba pulled on his hand, cringing.

"Don't make me angry, I'm much more powerful than any of you would really think," Sentinel glared at Kiba. Naruto by then was near passing out from lack of oxygen.

"Let..." Emi made a handsign. "...go..." did a quick routine of more signs. "...of my boyfriend!!!" Vines sprouted out of her body.

"That's so much creepier than BugBoy Shino's anthill of a body..." Kiba grimaced.

"What kind of move is that?" Senitinel looked at the hand signals in his head. "A combonation of the hiding technique...and utilization of trees in your towns variety of attacks."

"Hey man, it's not my town, just my move!" she poofed up behind and wrapped a large entanglement of vines around him.

Sentinel maintained his hold of Naruto and tightened his grip. Naruto's body relaxed, and Sentinel released his grip.

"You...bastard!!!!" Emi pulled kunai out of her pouch using the vines. She began cutting at Sentinel.

"Easy, easy, You'll be the same place as him soon enough!" Sentinel released a charge of chakra. "Now..."

All of a sudden, a kick blasted out of nowhere...
