Author's Notes: In this lovely chapter I am going to do is the today's popular anime, Naruto. Actually, I only seen a few episodes of Naruto, and I have less experience with it, so I came to my best friend, Nia, for little assistance with this chapter. Yes, she's knows more anime than me and she's Japanese, and she used to leave in Osaka for a while. SHE'S A FRIGGIN' BIG NARUTO FAN! All I know about Naruto from her is about a blonde-haired boy who goes to a Ninja Academy and learns some ninja techniques and meet new friends and rivals along the way (please forgive me that I'm making a lot of stuff up as you read along). Anyways, Sora, Donald, and Goofy are going to their world today. And yes, you get see Yuffie and Squall were they left off too. This is going to attract a lot of Naruto fans out here… I might get corrections, a little good comments and flames, too. So, Here is Greenwood- I mean, Naruto!


Chapter 12: Welcome to the Ninja Academy!

Where we left off, Yuffie and Squall were surrounded by ninjas! Luckily, Yuffie and Squall used their weapons to fight back. The two looked at their ninja enemies scornfully. Yuffie slightly pulls out her stars, ready to take action, and she threw them at the enemies. Squall used his powerful Gunblade and shoots it right at them. At the moment when the Ninjas got mad, they started to clone.

"I hate Ninja scrums!" Squall sneered.

"Well, you're calling me one!" Yuffie replied, as she looked at Squall in the eye.

A millions of daggers flew passed them and wiped away all the Ninjas. Suddenly, Squall and Yuffie looked at the boy with black, spiky hair and matching, dark eyes with the daggers in his hands. He wore a silver headband on his forehead and he look at Squall and Yuffie like he was missing something. Yuffie and Squall just blinked repeatedly at the black-haired stranger. Were they going to say anything or were they going to stand there looking at each other fascinatingly? That was the question running through their heads.

Unexpectedly, Yuffie broke the silence off, "Hi, there!"

Sasake gasped, and he silently said to Yuffie, "Hi."

"You know, you have great ninja tactics."

"Yeah…" Sasake said, and he walked off.

"Hey, where you going?" Yuffie asked.

This was going strangely. A boy save their lives and the next thing, he's too shy to say anything back.

"Scared off another one, I presume?" Squall uttered at Yuffie, closing his eyes in disbelief.

"Hey, at least I said something nice to him. Why don't you try saying thing nice to people and loose the cool attitude? Then, I'm sure people would start to appreciate you more."

"Give me a break…" Squall said, putting his hand on his forehead.

"I would break your head for giving me that look!"

"What look?"

"THAT look!"- Yuffie snapped furiously and constantly slaps the Squall for being, you know, Squall

Hidden Leaf Village

Sora, Donald, and Goofy have arrived at the new world. This time they had to walked through and not fall from the sky like last time. As they saunter on, the things that the boys saw were ninjas, ninjas, and ninjas. These ninjas were practicing routines in the middle of morning dawn.

"Wow, I never had seen so many ninjas in my life." Sora gasped excitedly.

"We should keep a low profile by wearing these," Goofy uttered, holding up some gears in his hands. The first gear he first shotout were three Ninja Headbands, which he stole from the Ninja HQ unexpectedly.

"What are they?" Donald asked him.

"I don't know, but this is what those ninjas are wearing."

"Cool, ninja headbands!" Sora busted out, snatching the forehead protector headband out of Goofy's hand. Sora put on his headband like an eye patch. Donald put his on around his neck, and Goofy puts his on his forehead, putting his goggles around his neck. Goofy and Donald put their protection gloves on. Now that they have disguised themselves, they were ready to fit in with the ninja crowd. "So what do we do here?" Sora asked.

"I'm thinking practicing Ninja things!" Goofy blurted out the obvious.

"And how are we supposed to do that, exactly?"

Goofy looks at him, "Donald?"

"Hey I am a mage, not a ninja!" Donald exclaimed, folding his arms like there isn't a care in the world.

"Well, I think we should-"

"May I help you?" An unexpected voice questioned them.

"Whoa," Sora turns around and looks at him in the depth in the eye. He was only a ninja instructor here, but he looked very vicious at first. "We are kinda new here." Sora replied.

"Aren't we all? Welcome to the Hidden Leaf Village. You must specify your name, age and place." Ninja Instructor instructed.

"Sora, age 15, and I live in a village…very faraway…"

"What type of village very faraway?"

"Umm, I don't know," Sora was starting to panicked. If he doesn't start thinking of a place soon, the ninja instructor will think that he's faking it all out.

"You're telling me that live in a village, and you don't know the name of your own village?" Ninja Instructor asked.

"Yes…I mean, no!" Sora was starting to get panicky for a second.

"WHAT IS IT THEN?" Ninja Instructor yelled at the bottom of his lungs.

Sora know that he's really, really mad and especially impatient. "It-It's…"

"He lives in Hidden Leaf Village!" Donald blurted out as soon as he saw the sign that just say 'Hidden Leaf'.

"Hidden Leaf Village? That's not very far away?" the Instructor replied, "Besides, we are in Hidden Leaf right now!"

"Well, we know that, but my house is far, far from the village!" Sora said, sweat dropping nervously. He was once saved thanks to the mage, Donald.

The Ninja Instructor wrote down Sora on the list. He next pointed to Donald with his pen. "Okay, Duckhead?"

"Donald, age 9, Hidden Leaf Village!" Donald replied.

"You're 9?" Sora whispered a question in Donald's ear.

Donald replied back in a whisper, "No, I'm just saying that!"

The Instructor wrote down Donald's registration. "Now, the dopey one?" Ninja Instructor said, pointing his pen directly to Goofy.

"Goofy, sir, I'm 16, and I live in Hidden Leaf Village!" Goofy replied to the Ninja Instructor.

"What a coincidence, all three of you are from Hidden Leaf Village. Now would you please excuse me?" Ninja Instructor excused himself as he writes Goofy's name on the list. Then, he walked off. The threeall took a deep sigh for relief.

"That was a close one!" Sora gasped for air.

"You said it…" Donald added.

"So, are we going to learn any Ninja stuff?" Goofy recalled.

Sora and Donald took another deep gasp from their gullible friend.

"Hello, you three must be new here." A young girl smiled atSora, Donald, and Goofy. She was at least 12, and she had pink hair and greenish set of eyes. Furthermore, she has a very intelligent personality.

"Yeah," Sora replied, looking at the girl confusingly, "who are you?"

"The name's Sakura!"

"Another Sakura?" Sora murmured.

"What?"

"I didn't say anything." Sora gasped nervously.

"I swear you said something!"

"It's probably nothing, right?"

Sakura took a deep sigh and gave Sora a remark, "You're weird, but you got spunk, kid! And spikes too…" Sakura said when she was touching his head.

"Uh… thank you, I think?" Sora replied, taking Sakura's hands off his hairdo.

"What's your name?" Sakura asked.

"My name is Sora."

"Sora!" Sakura held Sora's hand, "I see you're going to fit right in!"

Sakura pointed Sora to the two ninjas fighting each other, almost killing each other to death. "Heh heh, I can see it right now…" Sora nervously grinned and asks himself, 'why was I here in this crazy ninja world?'

"Who are they?" Sakura pointed.

"This is Donald and Goofy" Sora replied, introducing them to Sakura.

"What's happening?" Sakura waved.

"Hi!" Donald and Goofy waved back.

"Cool, so you wanna train me, since Naruto went off and left me?"

"Sure." Sora muttered, "Where is Naruto, anyways?"

"Probably somewhere playing tricks on people again."

Actually, Naruto was inside the Ninja School Cafeteria playing cards with one of his fellow Ninja members.

"Okay, big shot, give me what'cha got!" Naruto said obliviously loud.

"A queen?" said the guy, putting it smack down on the table. "Got anything above a queen?"

Naruto didn't have anything in his deck that is higher than a queen. All he had was a pair of nines, a ten, a one, and a three. He was out of options until he found a way: a way to cheat in the arts of a ninja. He replaced his three with an ace. He smiled and smashed the ace on the table. "I win!"

"That's- how did you?" he gasped in question.

"Just like that. It takes an experience ninja to win a card game!"

"Oh man!" the guy sighed in belief, he paid up, "Here's your ramen I save for-"

"Naruto, what do you think you're doing?" Kakashi the Ninja Teacher screamed in his ear.

"Um, playing a game?" Naruto lied.

"You better not be gambling again in this Ninja School."

"No, sir!" Naruto hid the ramen that the kid gave him from gambling.

"So…"

"We're just playing a game, c'mon Kakashi!"

"Yeah, it would've been better if you didn't use any ninja tricks involved!"

"What do you mean ninja tricks?"

"I know a lot of who you are, Naruto!" Kakashi pulled out the three card out of Naruto hands. Kakashi finally snatches the ramen from Naruto and gives it back to the student. Kakashi got calm with Naruto for a while. "Aren't you supposed to be practicing with your teammates, Sakura and Sasuke?" Naruto nodded his head to 'yes'. "Get out of here, Naruto! And I don't wanna see you gambling for ramen again!"

Naruto got out of the cafeteria by Kakashi's orders. "Can I at least get my stuff since your kicking me out?"

Kakashi aims the deck of cards at Naruto's head, and then missed. "Hah, that's perfect. You missed by a mile." Kakashi hits him with his bag and it hits him directly. Naruto falls on the ground. "I'm okay…"

Meanwhile when Naruto wasn't unconscious, he was walking all over the Ninja Academy looking for his teammates. "I wonder where Sakura is." Naruto asked himself. Suddenly, Sasuke showed up, crossing paths with Naruto. "Huh, Sasuke have you seen Sakura?"

"No I haven't…" Sasuke sounded harsh.

"Whoa, bad vibes makes a man turn into a cold-blooded killer, you know that!" Naruto knows that he doesn't like Sakura, but Naruto sure does. Naruto keeps whispering to himself, "Where is Sakura, you know we have to practice?"

Sakura was with Sora, Donald, and Goofy all long. Sora tries to criticize Sakura's every movement she makes. When Sakura hits Sora to the left, Sora goes left and repel. When Sakura goes to the right, Sora repels to he right. "You're really good at this! You must be taught by someone great!"

"Not really, I live near a place where there is lots of trees and water," Sora replied.

"Like an island?"

Sora excitedly exclaimed, "Yeah! That's it! An Island!"

"Sakura, I've found you!" There they were, loud mouth and Mr. Lonely, late as usual.

"About time, Naruto!" Sakura screamed, "What's the excuse this time?"

"Um, card playing?" Naruto replied with a nervous grin.

"For ramen noodles, huh?"

"How did you know?" Naruto gasped.

Sakura got into her scary mode and scares Naruto, "I know all there is to know!"

"Wow, I think your forehead is getting too big!"

Sakura hits Naruto on the head. "Don't start this today, okay?"

"Okay," said Naruto all dizzy-like.

"Can we start training now?" Sasuke asked.

"You're letting him join on our team?"

Naruto nodded, getting in front of her before it even got personal. "Remember what Hatake said, we're a team and teams always stick together."

"We'll if he is teaming with you, then I teaming with them…"

Naruto looked at the three behind Sakura. They look like they seem to be lost or something. "Who are they?" Naruto asked.

"They are Sora, Donald, and Goofy."

"New recruits, huh?" Sasuke said, "Sakura, you can really pick out a-"

"For your information, they are skilled!"

"Yeah, first class in swimming." Sora recalled, making the three faced at him stupid. Sora nervously grin, "Anyways, I'm Sora…"

"Nice to meet you too, I'm Naruto!" Naruto announced. He pointed to Sasuke, "This is Sasuke."

"Hi." They all waved.

"Naruto, do you notice anything weird today?" Sasuke asked.

Naruto looked at Sakura's forehead. "Yes, I see a slight difference that Sakura's forehead has gotten bigger." Naruto got hit double the times from that remark he just made about her.

"I saw some ninjas on my way to school. They were all wearing black, and they all came from some other village. They also were attacking a ninja girl and a guy with a scar on his face."

Donald, Sora, and Goofy gasped in unison.

"A ninja girl?" Donald reacted.

"A guy with a scar on his face?" Goofy reacted too.

"Yuffie and Squall!" They all remembered it together. It's was true. When they said their vows, after all of Sora's friends separated from each other, they promised, 'No matter what happens, their hearts will be connected and, alas, they will find each other'. "Have you seen them, are they in danger?" Sora asked Sasuke.

Sasuke didn't say a word. Naruto was confused.

Sakura just exclaimed, "Hey, it looks like they know them…"

"Sasuke, we gotta know!" Sora came up to him.

Sasuke started saying words, "Um, I think they're… alright…"

"We should go and find them!"

"Wait, you can't leave the ground without telling the teachers, that's strictly off limits," Sakura shouted at them.

"Don't worry your big head, Sakura, we got it all planned," Naruto replied in a wink.

"Naruto, I'm warning you!"

Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura told their teachers that they'll be leaving the forest for emergency and they'd agree. Just as long as they be back by daybreak. The three reported back to Sora, Donald, and Goofy.

"Thanks for helping us out," Sora said generously.

"Anytime." Naruto puts his thumb in the air. Naruto looked back at Sasuke, who was being silent as usual. Naruto said, "Sasuke, what made you wanna go?"

"Um… before I left…" Sasuke whispered in Naruto's ears, "I saw that ninja girl was looking right at me. And she said some things, but I left her without saying anything back. I just wanna chance to say 'thank you'."

"Was she cute?" Naruto asked which caused him to be hit on the head by Sakura again. Only this time, it's triple the times. He looked back at Sakura, "What was that for?"

"For being stupid! We can all hear you, you know? No wonder people call you the 'loudest' out of the whole damn ninja school…"

"Dang," Naruto whispers in Sasuke's ears, "Between you and me, I think she likes me."

SMACK! Naruto got slapped…

"Ouch, what did I do?"

Thus, the search for Squall and Yuffie had begun.
