Sorry for the long wait. I'm trying to rewrite the chapters of this story because some people aren't understanding what is being said between Angel, Stitch and Naruto (experiment form). So, it's going to be a long...LONG time. But, hopefully, I can still upload the new chapters. Please enjoy the chapter.
The group made it back to the village and everyone was happy with the return of Konohamaru; however, were still not pleasant with Stitch and Angel.
Kiba asks Naruto while they, Akamaru, Chōji Yamato, Hinata, Sakura, Blaze, Airmid, Stitch and Angel, walk over to Tsunade's office. "That blue furball is what caused the problem?"
Naruto nods, "Yup."
"He so tiny," Kiba comments, "he could be a chew toy for Akamaru."
Akamaru barks in agreement.
Naruto states, "Remembered what I said, Kiba. Don't judge his small stature, he is very strong."
Kiba yells, "Yo Stitch!"
Stitch turns to face him and then runs back to him, "Ih?"
Kiba informs him as they continue to walk, "How about you against me and Akamaru?"
"Gaba?" Stitch tilts his head confused and Kiba sighs, "Man... I don't think he understands me."
Naruto retorts, "Oh, believe he does. He's very smart, I bet even smarter than Shikamaru."
Chōji turns to Naruto shocked to hear that, "Really? I'd love to see him face off against Shikamaru then."
Naruto smirks, "No doubt Stitch will beat Shikamaru in Shōgi."
They continue to talk while Sakura was talking with Angel.
"So, Angel," Angel turns to face Sakura, "tell me. Was Naruto a troublemaker back home for you?"
"Ih," She nods and Sakura asks, "I'm guessing 'Ih' means yes then?"
"Yes," Angel explains with a smile, "he broke school's stage with Rasengan."
"What!?" Sakura shrieks as she tries not to laugh, "Really, he did?"
"He even took deep freeze shower by accident," Angel adds with a soft smile.
"Please tell me more," Sakura asks as Angel nods, "Okie-taka."
Flashback...
Angel was watching TV while everyone else was out; except for Naruto who was still asleep. She continues to watch until she hears a scream, "AIIIIII!"
Angel turns to the open door and tilts her head in confusion because she knew the door was closed before. She stands up and closes the door, but she felt something behind her and slowly turns around. There stood behind her was Naruto, shivering in his fur covered body.
"Naruto!" Angel screams shocked, "Gaba youga doing?!"
Naruto continues to shake and Angel notes that some parts of his fur had a light blue frost covering over it.
"Naruto?" she asks.
"Th-the water..." he stutters as he shakes, "in shower misa cold. Water too cold."
Angel rushes over to him and takes him to the shower upstairs. She turns on the shower and slightly warm to hot water runs down. She turns to Naruto and assists him into the shower.
She goes in and helps him the best she could to get rid of the frost and other dirt in his fur.
She asks, "Where youga go?"
Naruto turns lightly trembling and answers, "Meega went Jumba and Pleakley's Bed-And-Not-Breakfast. Meega shower in there."
Angel stops and looks at him, "But...the shower naga work in there."
He sighs, "Well, someone was in the shower in the house."
She continues with cleaning his matted fur, "Where youga go next?"
"Into Jumba's lab," Naruto simply answers, "Meega thought meega found shower and went in. But, isa too cold."
Angel, didn't mean to but, lightly laughs, "Oh Naruto."
Naruto crosses his arms over his chest, "Hmmm."
She explains, "That naga shower, that isa cooling chamber."
"Ohhhhh," Naruto said as he looks down.
She adds, "At least youga came hagata fast. Youga catch cold with wet fur."
Naruto looks down, "Soka."
Angel lightly smiles, "Isa alright."
"Isa just..." Naruto sighs, "meega still getting used to this."
He continues, "Meega understand now. After leaving meega world and entering this one, meega naga do anything for meega-self. Meega naga nota a thing hagata in this world."
She questions him, "Naruto, gaba isa matter?"
He sighs, "Just... Meega feel so out of place hagata. Meega isa loneliest guy hagata and meega naga have anything."
"Naruto..." Angel speaks softly as she helps clean him.
Later...
Angel was close with Naruto as he tries to sleep, but Angel could sense he was restless.
She asks him, "Youga naga sleep well Naruto?"
She pulls off the covers and sees him still shivering, "Meega still little cold."
Angel looks at the thermostat and was about to turn the heat up, but remembered that Nani said it wasn't working well. She then got the idea of using extra blankets for Naruto, but stops when she recalled Pleakley and Jumba claiming all the extra blankets and bed sheets for their Bed-And-Not-Breakfast.
She turns to Naruto and ponders, 'Gaba meega do?'
One more idea came into her mind and before Naruto knew it; the covers over him were gone and Angel was on top of him.
"Angel, gaba youga doing?" he asks her.
"Meega naga have choice," she speaks as she crawls over to him and holds him.
"Angel..." he didn't know what she was doing.
He holds her and notes softly, "Wow. Her fur isa soft and warm."
She comments, "Isa also natural."
He turns to face her and she kisses his cheek.
She asks him, "Youga... Youga warm right?"
He nods, "Ih."
She puts her head on Naruto's shoulder and lightly rubs and Naruto asks, "Youga sure youga wanna be hagata? Gaba about Stitch?"
"Meega naga doing anything wrong," she speaks tiredly and he too was getting tired.
Soon both fell asleep next to each other.
End of flashback...
Angel states with a soft laugh, "He really isa troublesome, but meega been in worse situations."
As she was going to say something to Sakura, something caught the gang's attention.
"Hello," all turn and see Tsunade was walking up to them, "how is everything and everybody?"
The majority stated, "Good."
She smiles as she directs them and Blaze asks, "So...Who's Hokage now?"
"Me," Tsunade states, "I'm the Hokage of this village."
Then in a swift motion, a group of Blaze's tribe had surrounded Tsunade and separates the rest of them from her. They started screaming and hollering at her. The gang goes over and sees that the tribe was fighting her while another group was throwing rocks and stuff against the Hokage's Tower.
Tsunade was easily dodging the attacks, but then they were becoming more than she could handle as she now had to block their attacks.
'How did they manage to increase their speed and power in an instant?' She thought as she tosses one man behind her and kicks two in the face.
"Enough!" Blaze bellows out and all turn to him, "Stop this at once!"
The groups bitterly stops and bow down to him as he continues, "The next time I see this... There will be consequences."
He turns to Tsunade, "I'm so sorry about my tribe's behavior."
He turns to the group and adds, "Looks like we still have those that want trouble with the Leaf."
"It's fine," all turn and see an ANBU member there and then more appear, "we'll take care of this."
As they took away the members attacking Tsunade and the Hokage's Tower, she glances at them and wonder. 'I wanna know why they are letting us take them.'
She turns back to the group and orders, "Everyone. My Office. THIS INSTANT!"
Hokage's Office...
After talking with the rest of the group, Tsunade now was left to discuss things with Blaze alone.
He states as he bows, "I was surprised you wanted to meet."
He continues as he stands up straight, "Especially after hearing about how our tribe is."
She remarks, "Not as surprised as I was when some members of your tribe became a frenzy mob."
He looks down to the floor, "I'm sorry, but you got to understand how they feel."
He sighs, "Though, it shouldn't be too surprising. My tribe has a ton of anger, rage, etc. at the Leaf."
She comments, "They had a right to. The Leaf has neglected your clan for far too long. The way our forefathers had treated your clan is unspeakable, but I'm my own person. And I'm not your enemy."
Blaze retorts, "Well...you certainly aren't a friend either to me or to the people in my clan."
She sighs, "I am, hoping to prove otherwise."
"So how much will it cost to help you get on your feet?"
He states, "Miss Hokage, not everything has a price that can be settled. Real change can't happen until your council realizes it is morally unacceptable to have thousands of people living in a neighboring village in a third world stature."
"Thousands?" she asks him.
"We were a bigger group once and now we just below the hundreds," Blaze informs her, "majority went in different directions because of how hopeless the situation was. Then the rest that was left behind split into two different factions."
She comments as she stands from her chair, "How's this then, I'll host a benefit banquet and make you feel home. Then I'll invite the council as well as the other Kages so we can discuss the matter of things. We can show them what needs to be done, what needs to be change."
Blaze turns to her, "The people seeing you...The nations' greatest leaders and their people seeing you, the Hokage, taking responsibility as well as being the cause's public face. Mm….that would make a difference."
She smiles as she extends her hand, "Then let's make a difference."
He takes her hand and shakes it, both release their hands and Blaze sighs in relief.
"Listen...I'm truly sorry about what happened with my people. Their emotions get the better of them sometimes," Blaze apologizes once more.
"It's fine," Tsunade states as Blaze walks over to the window and looks over the Leaf, "I guess we must look small compare to you guys."
"Not at all," Tsunade replies, "now we're equals. Comrades."
"Thanks," he smiles at her.
"Thank you for coming," Tsunade returns the smile as Blaze leaves her office.
Minutes later...
Blaze sees Naruto and Sakura walk over to him.
Naruto asks him, "So, how did everything went?"
"Everything went well actually," he nods with a smile, "things are changing fast."
"That's good to know," Sakura states happily.
They start walking and bump into Airmid, "Hey guys!"
"Hi," they chorus as she goes to them.
"Oh yeah," Blaze snaps his fingers, "I almost forgot."
"What?" Naruto asks him.
"There is going to be a big banquet sometime this week. It is going to honor the Leaf Village and Salamander Tribe alliance," Blaze smiles, "And it's all thanks to you Naruto."
"What?" Naruto was caught off guard.
"Thank you Naruto," Blaze pats Naruto on the back hard, but both gasp as Blaze's hand, on Naruto's back, is cover in white charka.
Before they know it, both were surrounded by pitch darkness and Naruto looks around.
"This place..." he starts.
Blaze asks as he looks around, "What is this? What's going on?"
Naruto speaks as he faces Blaze, "Blaze... This is where Kurama dwells inside me."
"You mean we're..." Blaze speaks and Naruto nods.
He asks Naruto, "How did we end up in here?"
Naruto shrugs, "I don't know."
He runs to the Kurama's cage, "But I need to see something!"
Blaze chases after him, "Don't leave me here!"
They run to a big cage and Naruto grabs the bars as he yells, "Kurama! Kurama, where are you?!"
"Naruto," Blaze states, "I don't think this is a good idea."
He turns to Blaze and he continues, "What happens if Kurama tries to take control over you?"
Naruto snickers, "I'd like to see him try."
Both hear a small groan and look into the cage.
Naruto asks, "Kurama, is that you?"
They hear a voice, but it is inaudible; however, the voice continues and then Naruto and Blaze are back to where they were; standing there with Sakura and Airmid calling them.
"Hey, guys!" Sakura calls out, "You two going to be standing there all day or what?"
"Huh?" Naruto asks unsure of what just happened.
"Blaze, come on." Airmid states, "We need to tell the other members of the tribe."
"R-right," Blaze stammers as he runs over to her and both leave Naruto and Sakura.
She walks back to Naruto and asks, "Naruto, you okay?"
"Yeah," Naruto nods.
He adds with a smile, "We need to tell Lilo and the gang."
Meanwhile...
Tsunade had asked both Kakashi and Yamato to come to her office at once.
"What seems to be the problem?" Kakashi asks her.
"Those Salamander members that the ANBU capture," she answers, "are what seems to be the problem."
"How so?" Yamato asks her.
She turns to him and explains, "When they surrounded me, I noticed that in an instant, maybe even more that their strength and speed increased."
"What?" Yamato states bewildered.
"It would make sense since that was Kabuto's old lab right next to the tribe. Won't surprise me if some of the members went in there to be stronger," Kakashi explains.
"I don't know," Tsunade looks down, "just something about this isn't giving me a good feeling."
"Probably because you're still on edge about what had happened with Pain's invasion," Yamato comments, "he did destroy the entire village. Haven't it been Naruto to stop before things got worse."
"Then again, what's worse than a crater where once a village stood?" Kakashi retorts.
She reclines in her chair, "Believe me, there are worse things than a crater."
She stands up and orders, "I want both of you to go to the Medical Center with Shizune and test those guys."
"Why?" Kakashi asks her.
"Because if they were in Kabuto's lab," she reasons, "they might've been in contact with him and the last thing we need is a repeat of the Chūnin Exams attack."
Both nod and she adds, "Don't tell anyone else about this."
"Okay, but they're prisoners. What harm they can do?" Yamato questions her.
"Then why do I feel like they wanted to go to prison?" she asks him.
"Understood," both Kakashi and Yamato said as they leave the office.
Later...
Naruto and Sakura arrive to Lilo's temporary/permanent house in his world. They tell them of the news and Lilo was ecstatic to hear that.
"Yes. We can show the people here how we hula!" she smiles and Sakura turns to Naruto, "Hula?"
"Hula in Hawaii is a traditional dance," Naruto explains, shocked that he actually remembered what 'hula' means.
"Ih," Stitch nods, "isa great way to have fun and spend time with friends."
Naruto turns to Sakura and grins, "Maybe you should learn from Lilo and Nani how to hula Sakura."
Sakura was about to protest, but Lilo interjected. "Yeah, that's a great idea. We can show Sakura and everyone how our dance is and they might like it."
Naruto retorts skeptical, "Um... Lilo, I don't know. I don't think the villagers will like it."
Lilo replies, "How can not like it if they've never seen it?"
Sakura smiles, "Hmm... Fine, you can count me in and I know a few people that wouldn't mind joining."
Lilo laughs as she grabs Sakura's hand and pulls her out the door with Stitch trailing behind them, "Come on Sakura! We need to bring your friends into this, they might like it!"
Naruto lightly laughs as they leave, but then turns to see Angel kneeling near a table; she seems troubled as she hasn't even acknowledged Naruto's presence.
"Angel?" he calls out to her and she turns to him, shocked that Naruto was there.
"Naruto?" she asks confused as she stands up and walks over to him.
"You okay?" he questions her.
"Ih," Angel states as she puts her paws behind her.
"You don't seem like you are," he comments.
He bends down to her level and places a hand on her shoulder, "Is it because you killed someone?"
"Maybe," she drops her ears as she looks down to the ground, "Meega naga nota gaba happened. Meega just acted without thinking."
"In the heat of the moment," Naruto comments, "we tend to lose ourselves, take my word on it."
"That isa naga it," Angel states as she closes her paws.
"Then what?" he asks her.
"Isa gaba meega felt," Angel answers as she unclenches her paws.
"What did you feel?" Naruto asks.
"Meega naga lost it in moment, but remembered it. Meega remembered everything, but that isa naga worst part. The worst part isa meega liked hurting him; meega liked how meega killed him. Meega felt powerful, fearless, and in control. Meega ohana must naga nota about this. Naga one must nota about this," Angel's eyes begin to water.
"Angel, it's going to be alright," Naruto comments.
"Nagatay," Angel retorts while sobbing.
"They naga see meega like this... Like... Like..." Naruto interjects, "Like a monster."
She cries as she nods, "Ih, like a monster."
Naruto hugs her close and states confidently, "Angel, listen to me. You're not a monster, not a beast, nothing like that."
He breaks the hugs and looks directly at her, "You're Angel, not just another experiment or beast. You're Angel. You're beautiful with a nice name and a good person, and no one else can tell you otherwise."
She just nods as Naruto hugs her again; Angel cuddles into his chest as she tries to calm herself down.
She mutters, "Takka Naruto."
He smiles, "Anytime Angel."
She kisses him on the cheek and he kisses her head.
