"Great job guys," said Sakura as she came towards them.

"Thanks," said the Bladebreakers.

The ninjas were at the stadium to go watch the bladers beyblade. It was exciting to watch the heated battles between the teams. What was more shocking to the ninjas was the battle plans Tyson came up with. He was supposed to be a dobe to them, but here he is! He made a lot of moves that was pretty smart, in their point of view. Kai was telling Tyson that he should have finished the guy off instead of playing with him. That was playing! How strong is Tyson, thought the shock group.

"Fine, Mr. Sourpuss," said Tyson.

"Mr. Sourpuss," asked TenTen.

"Yeah! He's always has a stick up his butt," said Max.

Everyone blinked at Max's words. It sounded like Gaara, Neji, or Sasuke to them. They were also sourpusses to them and to Naruto when he was… well… in Konoha. Tsunade, Sakura, Temari, and TenTen ran towards Tyson and enveloped him in a hug, crying their eyes out. Shikamaru was saying something about them being troublesome. Tyson blinked when they started to brawl their eyes out. All the guys looked away as they felt sad that Tyson can't come back. "What's with all the waterworks," asked Mariam.

"We can't see Tyson anymore. He's staying here and can't come back to the village," brawl Sakura.

"Why," asked Hilary.

"He was banished by the councils of our village," brawl TenTen.

"You sure missed Tyson," said Gary.

"Yes, we miss Naruto," brawl Temari.

"But you all can visit him," reasoned Dr. Judy.

"It's not the same," brawl Tsunade.

Everyone sighed at the reaction. They were being very annoyed by their water works. It was the second time that happened to Tyson. He was being hugged tightly by them when they were at the dojo! Jim, Oliver, and Max started to get the four girls off of Tyson because he was turning blue from lack of oxygen. Unbeknownst to everyone, five guys were glaring at the said girls for touching Tyson. Well, the four girls felt the glares and wondered who would glare at them when they hugged Tyson. The girls finally let go of Tyson as Tyson held in a lot of oxygen. "Are you all right," asked Neji.

"Never better," breathed Tyson.

"Were you girls trying to kill Tyson or something," asked Ozuma.

"Sorry," said the girls.

"Let's check out the place," said Tyson as he dragged Kai out into the open.

- Outside -

"Let's check out the shops," said Hilary.

"No way! That's boring," said Tyson.

"But we never got to see the shops of England before," said Salima.

"Suit yourself," said Enrique, "But I want to check out the babes."

The bladers face faulted when they heard Enrique's comment. Same old Enrique will always flirt with the girls. The ninjas sweat dropped at his comment. Who knew that Enrique was a playboy? They saw Enrique walk towards two girls, asked them for a tour, and had them grab his arm and drag him around the town. The bladers sighed when they saw the same reaction from the girls. The ninjas saw Enrique like another Jiraiya, except he wasn't a pervert like the sannin. Everyone turned towards the said sannin to see him going towards a young woman. "Jiraiya," mumbled Tsunade.

"Shall we go, Hiro," asked Brooklyn.

"Sure," said Hiro as they walked away.

"What was THAT all about," asked Sakura, pointing towards Enrique.

"Enrique is a player. He always goes towards girls and asks them out. It's always been his trademark," said a nonchalant Miguel.

"He was sweet though," said Temari.

"Yeah," said TenTen.

"Don't be fooled by those charms," said a frantic Queen.

"Yeah! He's always going to go for other girls," said Mariam.

Throughout the day, everyone split up. Gaara, Shikamaru, Kai, and Sasuke dragged Tyson towards the carnival, trying to win his heart. The bladers sweat dropped by their aggressiveness. The ninjas never knew that Shikamaru could be aggressive. It was weird to them since he's always a lazy ass boy. Itachi and Ino were with Grandpa and Tsunade. Since Jiraiya went with a young woman, it was just them guarding the two. They didn't trust them that much. This will be a long day, thought everyone.

- In the hotel -

"That was the best afternoon off ever," said Tyson as he held onto four giant stuff animals.

"Woah," said Max.

"Who gave you those," asked Raoul.

"The giant wolf is from Sasuke. The giant phoenix is from Kai. The giant dragon is from Shikamaru. And the giant fox is from Gaara," sadi Tyson as everyone went into their room.

"How much did they spend on you," asked Iruka.

"I don't know," said Tyson as he went into his room with Iruka and Hiro on his tail.

Everyone was shock that the four guys were doing this much to get Tyson's affection. It was weird in a way. If Shikamaru, Sasuke, or Gaara get Tyson, they would either move to Okiyama with Tyson. No more Rookie Nins, even though Tyson left the village. No more sand siblings to be with them, even thought they had two siblings. When the four guys went into their room, everyone started to talk. "Who wants to bet that Kai will get Tyson before the other three," said Kenny.

"I'm in. I pick Shikamaru," said Ino.

"I pick my little brother," said Itachi.

"I pick all four," said Iruka as he went into the living room.

"All four," asked Gary.

"Because they have the right to be happy with him," said Iruka.

"I second on what Iruka says," said Kakashi.

"Only because he's your lover," said Jiraiya.

The bets were on. Who said all four were Kakashi, Iruka, Tsunade, Lee, Neji, Li, Ozuma, Mariah, Tala, Ray, Max, Alan, Brooklyn, Hiro, and Wyatt. Who said Shikamaru were Ino, Chouji, Asuma, Kurenai, Jim, Salima, Goki, King, Queen, Gordo, Steve, and Oliver. Who said Kai were Kenny, Dr. Judy, Ian, Enrique, Zeo, Johnny, Robert, Daichi, Claude, Aaron, Raoul, Eddy, Michael, Rick, and Gary. Who said Sasuke were Sakura, Gai, Jiraiya, TenTen, Kevin, Mystel, Julia, Ming Ming, and Garland. Who said Gaara were Temari, Kankuro, and the rest of the bladers. The ones who weren't betting were Ibiki, Anko, Baki, Grandpa, and the other teachers not mentioned. "Let the best man win," said Ray.

"Right," said everyone who betted.

- That night -

"Thanks you guys for the animals," said Tyson.

"Troublesome," said Shikamaru.

"Hn," said the other three.

"You guys sure aren't talkative today," said Tyson.

"Maybe they are afraid of what they will say," suggested Hilary.

Everyone was so caught up with the bet that they didn't see the four guys blush slightly. They didn't want anyone to know that they had a crush on Tyson! But it was futile since they saw them being aggressive over Tyson, and protective at that. They remembered in a carnival someone hit on Tyson.

Flashback

"Can you get me that," asked Tyson as he pointed towards a giant fox.

Everyone split up at the carnival, and only Tyson, Gaara, Shikamaru, Kai, and Sasuke were in a group. The four were competing on who will get his heart at the carnival games. They went towards the booth to see a man giving out a fishing rod. The red color gives you a big prize, the blue gives you a large, the black gives you a medium, the silver gives you a small, and the white gives you nothing. The four tried their luck, but Gaara was the one who got the game. Tyson hung onto Gaara after that with his arms around the giant fox. "Thanks for trying guys," said Tyson.

"Troublesome," said Shikamaru.

"It's a carnival. You NEED to have fun in these places," said a smiling Tyson.

Unbeknownst to the five, everyone met back to spy on the five. They saw how the four were very aggressive and wanted to see what would happen. They followed stealthy, as Tsunade commented that this is great stealth exercise. The only exception is to NOT GET CAUGHT. So, everyone followed the guys to see who will win what for Tyson. When they saw them, another guy came onto Tyson! "This is going to end bad," whispered Mariam.

"Hey, sweet cheeks," said the guy, "How about you come with me?"

"What did you call him," asked a glaring Kai.

"Why would you like to know," asked the man as he eyed Tyson.

"Because he's with us," said Sasuke as he punched him in the jaw.

"Guys," said Tyson slowly.

"Damn them. We're probably going to be banned from the carnival," said Hilary.

What really surprised them was that the police came to handcuff the guy Sasuke punched! The police said something that this guy has been wanted for rape and child molestation. He got away from them when he almost raped a girl in an alley. Everyone sweat dropped at the irony of it all. They bladers did say that Tyson looked sort of girlish with his looks. The ninjas said the same thing when Tyson was Naruto. The ninja girls started to cry when they were remembered them.

End Flashback

To this day, they still sweat drop at the irony of it all. The guy was going to rape Tyson when the day got dark. Iruka wanted to bust the guy's head off when he heard the information from the police. It was weird in a way. Iruka was a father figure to Tyson and was still overprotective. He was going to wonder if he could stay within the dojo and take care of Tyson like he used to. Kakashi would then move into Okiyama as well since he loves to follow his 'dolphin'. Sighing, they think about it. They wanted to go and help Tyson to get back into the village, but the villagers were still prejudice towards Tyson. "yawn Time to sleep," said Tyson as he got up.

"We should really get back to our rooms," said Asuma.

"And tomorrow is training," said a stern Kai as he went into his room.

"Aw," said Max, "Can't we have anymore free time?"

"Training," said Kai.

"Darn him. We wanted to hang out with you guys," said Tyson.

"It's fine. We should train as long and hard as we can," said Temari.

"Yeah! And we can go and help others with our stealth," said Tyson.

"You already do so much in the battles," said Mathilda.

The bladers nodded their heads when they heard Mathilda say that. Tyson blushed cutely as he ran straight into Kai. Kai wanted everyone to go to their rooms, but he was knocked down by Tyson. Tyson apologized and went to his room. Kai asked what that was about when he heard laughter about some things Tyson did in battles when he was Naruto and Tyson. Kai sat back down to listen to the stories. Everyone didn't know that Tyson was smiling when he had attention. It was nice. 'Right guys,' said Tyson.

"Yup. We helped you along the way, kit," said Kyuubi.

True to that, said Dragoon.

'Have you been eating sugar,' asked Tyson.

"He ate so much that the place is filled with sweets," said Kyuubi.

Shut up, said Dragoon.

The two laughed at Dragoon's suspense. It was refreshing when Tyson got into his pajamas and went into bed. Wonder what is in store for us, thought Tyson as slept crept slowly towards him.

AN: Hey! Finally, the shadows are revealed. All right, the boy who is going to be paired up with Tyson is narrowed down by four people: Kai, Sasuke, Gaara, and Shikamaru. Vote on which one will get Tyson! Who will get Neji, Itachi, and Tala? Suggestions for the rest of the bladers that aren't paired yet are opened freely! Thank you!
