Chapter 36: The Big Announcements
Naruto, Opal and Arashi were being fitted for their ceremony that would take place the next day… the one annoying that Arashi was alive again and he would be Co-Hokage with Tsunade.
"Do I seriously have to wear this?" asked Naruto.
He was wearing some ceremonial robes… that were blue…
"So what wrong with them?" asked Arashi being fitted for his Hokage Robes.
"Their not orange…" said Naruto.
"Naruto-Niichan…" sighed Opal who was being fitted for a pale pink kimono with a white obi.
"Fine… we'll get you something orange…" sighed Arashi.
"So dad… I was wondering how did the meeting with the heads of the Clans go?" asked Naruto.
Arashi chuckled…
(Flashback)
Tsunade and council were meeting with the heads of the most important clans… in other words: Hiashi (the head of the Hyuga Clan), Shibi (the head of the Aburame clan), Choza (the head of the Akimichi Clan), Shikaku (the head of the Nara clan), Inoichi (the head of the Yamanaka Clan) and Tsume (the head of the Inuzuka Clan)…
"So Tsunade why did you call us for?" asked Hiashi.
"You see recently Orochimaru revived Arashi using his jutsu…" said Tsunade.
All 6 clan heads gasped…
"However someone used a mystical crystal on him that made him truly alive again…" said Tsunade.
"You're kidding… right?" asked Choza.
"No she's not…" said Arashi entering the room.
"So… how long have you been around?" asked Shibi.
"Nearly month… I've been working on important things…" said Arashi, "Like patching things up with my son…"
"You have a son…" said Choza.
"Congratulations…" said Inoichi, "But why didn't any of us knew…"
"It was deemed and S-Class Secret and the child went under his mother maiden name…" said Tsunade, "Only myself, Jiraiya and Kakashi knew about this…"
"So who is your son?" asked Hiashi.
"Uzumaki Naruto…" said Arashi.
Dead silence… Shibi was stunned, Tsume's eyes twitched, Inoichi, Choza and Shikaku all had identical expressions… while Hiashi was happy… being the only that had accepted Naruto.
"I should have realized it…" said Hiashi, "Thought admittedly I'm a little disappointed…"
"Why?" asked Arashi.
"I was sort of hopping to adopt him into the clan in the future…" said Hiashi, "now that he comes from a clan even more prestigious than the Hyuga, I think you should take my daughter should our children ever decide to marry…
Arashi chuckled…
"So what did Naruto do for you?" asked Arashi.
"Many things…" said Hiashi.
There was a silence in the room, "I think everyone else fainted…" said Arashi.
(End of Flashback)
"I think most of them think I'm going to kill them…" said Arashi laughing.
"So you're going to…" said Opal.
"No… but I might maim them…" said Arashi.
"Should I bring a pin?" asked Naruto who now being fit for Orange robes.
"Why?" asked Arashi.
"I want to see if it's so quiet that we can hear a pin drop…" said Naruto.
"Sure…" said Arashi, "It might be pretty funny…"
"Well tomorrow will be the day…" said Naruto, "When everything changes…"
The next day in the Pokemon World in Pallet Town, Gary (who was staying there until things are normal again) was helping with his Grandfather… why? Because in the past two days it had been snowing Pallet Town… in the middle of summer…
"Strange…" said Gary whop was on the computer monitoring the weather… he wasn't the only one… Pokemon Researchers all over the world was researching this.
"I know…" said Pro. Oak.
"It's almost as if the balance have been effected again…" said Tracy who as helping them.
"You mean what happened on Shamouti Island… right?" said Pro. Oak.
"So what exactly happened?" said Gary, "I've only heard parts of the story…" said Gary.
Tracy began to tell the story… during the story… Gary realized something… this strange weather is somehow related to Ash becoming Black Lady.
"But what's the connection?" thought Gary.
Meanwhile in a cave by the sea, somewhere far from Pallet Town, the Pokemon Mewtwo took shelter in it… He was no ordinary Pokemon… he was the clone of Mew… not only that but he was an extremely power Pokemon and nearly destroyed the world… however there was something he was always grateful to… or should it be someone… Ash Ketchum… he had met Ash twice… the first time was forgotten by Ash… well not because of something… because Mewtwo made him forget… but the 2nd time Ash remembered… He knew Ash was a special kid… as Ash risked his life to save Pokemon… and died one of those times (but was revived…) someone he knew that something changed in Ash recently and that change was somehow effecting the balance of the world…
"Mewtwo…" came a voice.
That's when a Lugia came out of water… but not any Lugia… the Lugia that guards the sea…
"Lugia…" said Mewtwo (well technically it was telepathy).
Meanwhile in the world other Ninjas Naruto and Opal were showing off their ceremonial clothes to Sakura, Hinata and Sasuke.
"So how do I look…" said Naruto.
"Great Naruto…" said Hinata.
"I'm only going to say this once… what is it with you and orange..." said Sakura.
"What's wrong with it?" asked Naruto.
"Just never mind…" said Sakura.
"The senshi gave me a day off for this…" said Naruto, "Because this is very important…"
"Unless of course something ruins it and you have to help out…" said Sasuke.
"That's what you are for Teme…" said Naruto.
Sasuke sweatdroped, "Oh… okay thanks for clearing that up…"
"So how do you think their going to react?" asked Sakura.
"This is how I see it…" said Opal, "First there's the announcement that he's alive… the crowd cheers, Arashi mentions he have son, the crowd murmurs, then he reveals that his son is Naruto… the crowd becomes mostly silent… after saying something about Naruto the crowd continues to be silent, then announcing that he adopting the me the crowed continues to be sliest… and when the ceremony/ announcement is over half the crowd runs away thinking "I was mean to him" or "I tired to kill him" or Oh dear god no!" with the universal thought "Arashi's going to kill me…"
"How do you know that is going to happen?" asked Sakura.
"500 Ryou says it's going to happen…" said Opal with a smirk.
"You're on!" said Sakura who realized something, "I've been spending way to much time with Tsunade…"
Meanwhile in the Black Sun HQ…
"First I like to say that we have the perfect way to cut Ash's tied…" said Black Lady screen appeared behind her… showing the abnormal weather patterns.
"What going on?" asked Koko.
"I'm messing with the balance that exists among 4 Legendary Pokemon by slowly killing the link between the Legendary Birds and Lugia…" said Black Lady, "Soon that world will be dead too…"
"That's brilliant…" said the Master of the sun.
"Well…" said Orochimaru, "Are planning to ruin the even announcing Arashi's alive…"
"But of course…" said Black Lady, "But let's wait until after they announce it… I really want to see the faces of people once they realize that Naruto is Arashi's son…"
"Why?" asked The Master of the Sun suspiciously.
"I don't know why…" said Black Lady.
Master of the Sun knew it was part of Ash breaking though slightly… he only hoped that that it was only a small thing and that Ash would be the one that will prevail.
"Let's just choose who will go with them…" said Master of the Sun.
The one who was chosen to go with Orochimaru and Black Lady was Sea.
Meanwhile in the Village Hidden in the Leaves the entire village came for the big announcement… Sasuke, Hinata, Kakashi, Sakura and Iruka stood together near the tower. Tsunade made her very important announcement.
"I have a very important announcement to make… more than a month ago Orochimaru sued his forbidden jutsu to revive the 4th Hokage, Kazama Arashi…" said Tsunade.
The crowd began to murmur some looked afraid.
"However thanks to be mystical crystal that headed him… he is now truly alive again…" said Tsunade.
That's when Arashi want onto the balcony.
"That's right… I'm back…" said Arashi, "Death was okay… there was a shortage of chairs… but other than that it was okay…"
This got a laugh at and some cheers…
"However there's something you should know… before my death my late wife gave birth to a son… since I died his identity have been hidden from all…" said Arashi.
The crowd began to murmur again, "I would like ot present my son… Kazama Uzumaki Naruto…" said Arashi.
Naruto showed up and gave a sheepish smile, "Hi!" said Naruto.
The crowd was completely silent… Naruto dropped the pin that he was holding… and yes it was so quiet that it could have been heard.
"Now I have also decided to adopt into the Kazama clan Opal…" said Arashi.
Opal showed up and gave a small wave… "Hi…" she said.
IT was still very quiet many of them had very scared faces.
"Their probably going to run…" said Sasuke.
"I shouldn't have made that bet…" cried Sakura crying anime tears.
"Now you must be wondering if I will return to my duties as Hokage… well sort of…" said Arashi, "I will be sharing the duties with Tsunade.
The crowd war still silent.
That's when there was a rather loud explosion coming from a nearby forest… the crowd was wondering what was going on…
"No one worry… we'll be sending in a special team to see what it is…" said Tsunade.
Sasuke and Kakashi nodded to each other and left…
They ran to the forest to see what it was… it was indeed Orochimaru, Black Lady and Sea riding a giant snake.
"Sorry but you're a little late and a little too far away from the festivities to cause any damage to anything…" said Sasuke.
"Looks like we won't be ruining it after…" said Black Lady.
Kakashi took out his communicator and contacted everyone else including Naruto.
"Naruto… first I'd like to say everything's fine… it is the Black Sun but tell everyone a rather large tree fell and it caused many other trees to fall…" said Kakashi.
"That a horrible excuse…" said Naruto over the communicator..
"I know…" sighed Kakashi.
"But I'll tell them that…" said Naruto who then hung up his communicator.
"Which forest?" asked Gary over the communicator
"The northwestern…" said Kakashi.
"Okay…" said Luffy over the communicator.
"We'll be right there…" said Ranma communicator.
Kakashi hung up his communicator.
"Uranus Planet Power!"
"Pallas Asteroid Power!"
"Make-up!"
That's when both ninja Sailor Senshi transformed.
That's also when the summoned snake disappeared, Sea took out a clear blue ball.
"Go my Jouji!" said Sea.
The Jouji looked like a monster girl in a bikini. The monster girls formed a weird beach ball made of energy and shot them at the Sailor Senshi who dodged. When it hit the ground it made a small explosion.
"Okay…" said Sailor Uranus.
"What's the plan…" said Sailor Pallas.
"Wait for the other to arrive…" said sailor Uranus.
That's when Sailor Ceres landed next to Sailor Pallas.
"You didn't want to get lost again did you?" asked Sailor Pallas.
"Not at all…" said Sailor Ceres.
"Do it again!" said Sea.
The Jouji sent another beach ball at them and they all dodged. Then the ball exploded.
"It shoots explosive beach balls…" said Sailor Pallas.
"I can see that…" said Sailor Ceres.
"Hey!" yelled a voice.
That's when the other senshi arrived with Zatch, Hyde and Pikachu.
"So the Calvary is here…" said Black Lady.
"Give them a bigger ball…" said Black Lady.
The girl Jouji sent out another ball... which exploded, all the senshi dodged…
"That sends monster sends out exploding beach balls…" said Sailor Uranus.
"We can see that…" said Sailor Jupiter.
"Now send out a never ending barrage!" said Sea.
The monster began to send out more and more each balls one after another.
"Great… if we don't' stop it soon the village might go into Chaos…" said Sailor Uranus.
Orochimaru laughed, "Of course it will with the information they just received about Naruto…"
They senshi glared at the snake like man… none more so than Sailor Pallas who began to glow sky blue… that when an attack came to her.
"Pallas Ice Kunai Barrage!"
Several Kunai made out of ice appeared behind her… they shot themselves at the ball which frozen then crumbled and at the Jouji which froze to such an extent that it turned it shatter, into bits of was looked like blue glass then those shards turned to dust.
"Great you win again…" said Black Lady, "Let's go!"
"Wait!" said Sailor Saturn, "Are you upsetting the balance of the Pokemon World?"
"I should have realized you'd figure it out…" said Black Lady, "But yes… I am…"
Sailor Saturn instantly paled…
"The world has two weeks at most until it's destroyed…" said Black Lady, "Let's go…"
"Right…" said Sea.
Sea snapped her fingers… and all three of them were gone.
All the other senshi looked at Sailor Saturn.
"Gary… what's going to your world?" asked Sailor Mars.
Sailor Saturn sighed then looked down, "It's a long story…"
After detransforming… Gary explained what's going on…
"So unless we can get Ash back soon… the world is going to get destroyed?" asked Ranma.
"That's not the worse part…" said Gary, "If we don't make it time… I'm going to end the world… and when that happens… I… will die…"
All the other senshi froze when they heard this… expect for Setsuna.
"We have to prevent that at all coasts…" said Setsuna.
Everyone else nodded in agreement.
"Well we should get back to the ceremony…" said Kakashi.
"I really want to see if Sakura looses the bet…" said Sasuke trying not to laugh.
"I really don't want to know…" said Zoro.
"Me neither…" said Gary.
Kakashi and Sasuke raced to where ceremony was being held…
"What did we miss?" asked Kakashi.
"Tsunade trying to explain what happened in the forest…" said Hinata.
"Especially after the more recent explosions…" said Iruka.
"And that's how many more trees came down…" said Tsunade.
The crowd was silent… mostly because it was a bad explanation/ excuse.
"You suck!" yelled some guy.
The crowd seemed to move away from one person… it was guy that yelled.
"I see who you are…" said Tsunade.
"Damn…" mumbled the random guy.
"There's going to be a festival to celebrate tomorrow…" said Tsunade, "And that is all…"
The crows stood frozen… mostly because of several though ran though their head some thought "I was mean to him" while other thought "I tired to kill him" even more thought Oh dear god no!" all these sentences were followed by ""Arashi's going to kill me…" of course all these people ran away...
"Oh man… no I owe Opal…" said Sakura.
Sometime later as Naruto was leaving the tower he was grabbed by the other members of the rookie 9… as well as Team Guy.
"Where do you think your going Kazama… your treating us all for lunch…" said Kiba.
"That's right don't think that you're getting away from paying for lunch…" said Choji.
Later some time later, all 10 Genin, 1 Chunin and a ninja on probation/ butler were talking about Arashi.
"You from the most prestigious clan in the history of the village… that is too unbelievable…" said Kiba.
"But you have heard about the Kazama Clan… most of them were dead last when it came to the academy mostly because grades on written tests…" said Sakura.
"That's because pa told me book learn in' is fo' sucker…" said Naruto in a southern accent.
Everyone else looked at Naruto with sweat drops.
"Dad told me it's an old Kazama clan joke…" said Naruto.
A chorus of "Oh" filled the tables.
"But Sakura how did you know that much about my clan?" asked Naruto.
Sakura hit him in the head "Maybe if someone paid attention in class…" she said.
"Naruto rubbed his head and sighed…
"What's wrong?" asked Hinata.
"Yes… Hinata is right… this should be a good day for you…" said Lee.
"It's just that something's going on with a friend and I'm worried…" said Naruto, "You don't know him and it's not on of those things where I come up with a fake name…"
"If you say so Joey Jojo…" said Shikamaru.
"You swore you would never make fun of me…" said Naruto.
But it's true… I've met his friends and so have Sakura and Hinata…" said Sasuke.
"Actually Lee met him once…" said Naruto.
"Oh one of those friends that you go into fight with a while back…" said Lee, "and you needed Guy-Sensei's help…"
"That's right…" said Naruto.
Sasuke raised an eyebrow…
"I'll expel later…" said mouthed Naruto.
Sasuke only nodded…
Meanwhile on the Thousand Sunny, Gary landed with a thud.
"Hey Gary…" said Drew.
"Hey… can you get everyone else from our world…. I need to tell them something…" said Gary.
"Sure…" said Drew.
Gary sighed… this wasn't going to be easy telling that their world may end… and the only hope was to get Ash back and soon…
