After school that day, the six friends went to Elmer's Pharmacy to get some ice cream. There, the genin became acquainted with the Box Ghost, who had decided to make his daily appearance at the teen hangout.
"He comes and bothers us almost every day," Tucker explained as Danny punched the blue specter in the face behind him.
"Doesn't he ever learn?" Sakura asked. "I mean, after a while, wouldn't he realize that there's no point in even trying?"
"Apparently not." Danny sucked the Box Ghost into the thermos and flew away; he couldn't simply transform seeing as the pharmacy was filled with patrons who had come to watch the ghost fight.
After the pharmacy, they went to the park to hang out and finish up their homework out in the sunshine. Sakura finished her work almost immediately, and she, Sam, and Tucker spent the majority of the remaining daylight hours explaining everything to Danny and Naruto while Sasuke sat stoically and got ogled by the majority of Amity Park's teenage female population. The six of them then went over to Tucker's house, where he introduced the genin to video games.
"So you collect these key thingies and then you put them into this door and you win?" Naruto asked.
"Basically. But you have to dodge all the baddies and other players along the way," Tucker explained.
"Awesome! When can I start?"
"As soon as you make up a name for yourself. I'm 'Fryer-Tuck'."
"I'm Ghost-Boy," Danny added.
"And I'm Chaos," Sam finished.
"Come on, girls don't play video games!" Naruto asserted. Sam, Tucker, and Danny all stared at him for a second, then burst out laughing.
"You think so?" Danny asked. "You can verse her, then, and we'll se what you think afterwards."
"Okay, can I be 'Hokage5'?"
"Sure, if you want."
"Alright! Let's play!" Naruto happily logged on, and got a Game Over within ten minutes thanks to one of Chaos' grenades.
"Alright, alright, I guess girls are good at video games," Naruto admitted.
After that, they went to the backyard of FentonWorks to watch the genin train. Danny, Sam, and Tucker were amazed at some of the moves they were able to do. Danny was slightly worried that he wouldn't be able to face that kind of tai jitsu when fighting Zabuza, but the genin reassured him.
"Leave the tai jitsu to us," Sakura said.
"Yeah, we can take him, as far as hand-to-hand combat is concerned," Naruto boasted.
"But what if he pulls a jutsu on us? I can't prepare against those, either!" Danny complained.
"Danny, any jutsu he does you'll be able to defend against using your powers."
"Really?"
"Yes, now stop worrying!" Sakura said, and turned back to the other two genin so that they'd be able to train. By then, it was starting to get dark, so they all decided to call it a night and head home. Sam and Tucker said goodbye and went back to their respective houses, and Danny, Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto went inside FentonWorks. After dinner, they watched a little bit of TV, which amazed the genin, then went upstairs to bed. The three of them changed into pajamas, and Naruto donned an odd black hat that looked like some sort of animal. Danny didn't press the issue. The sleeping arrangements were as such: Danny slept in his bed, Sasuke was in a sleeping bag to his left and Naruto was in a sleeping bag to his right. Unfortunately, sleep seemed to elude them.
"So now what?" Naruto asked.
"I don't know…what do you want to talk about?" Danny replied.
"Uh…how terrible high school is?" Danny smirked.
"Yeah, you've been there for all of a day. Imagine having to spend an entire year there!"
"How do you live?"
"I wouldn't mind," Sasuke noted.
"Yeah, 'cuz you had every single girl in school fawning over you!" Naruto asserted.
"Yeah, and we have like 291 girls at my school!" Danny added. Sasuke shrugged.
"The only problem with staying…I can't avenge them…" Sasuke said in a dark voice.
"What? Avenge who?"
"The Uchiha clan. My clan. It's my responsibility to rebuild the clan."
"Rebuild? What happened to them?" Danny asked, confused.
"They were murdered," Sasuke replied, his voice no louder than a whisper.
"Whoa…I'm so sorry…"
"Thank you. But I don't require apologies. I will avenge them, and I'll do it on my own. Believe it."
"Now you sound like Naruto," Danny noted wryly.
"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" Naruto asked. Sasuke snorted and rolled over so that he could block out the other two and try to get some sleep. It wasn't long before Danny and Naruto did the same.
The next day, Danny, Jazz, Tucker, Sam, Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto all met up outside of FentonWorks to begin their walk to school.
"We need to get rid of Zabuza quickly," Danny began.
"I agree," Sasuke replied. "I don't like the idea of just waiting until he strikes next. We should try and think of a way to take the fight to him."
"But how?" Naruto asked. "We don't even know what he's doing when he isn't attacking us. How can we predict where he'll be next?"
"Well, where were you fighting when he died?" Danny asked the group.
"It was on a bridge."
"So the first place we should look for him is the biggest bridge in town-the one that crosses the Amity River. We can go right after school today."
"If you're not busy having that girl ignore you but go ga-ga over your ghost half, that is," Naruto quipped. Instead of snapping, Danny simply smirked and turned intangible. Before Naruto could react, Danny flew into him and overshadowed him.
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki, and I'm going to be the guy that cleans toilets at the ninja academy! Believe it!" Danny shouted in Naruto's voice, and then flew out of him. Naruto regained control over his senses in time to see Tucker, Sam, Sasuke and Sakura rolling on the ground, laughing.
"Uh…what just happened?" He asked as he held a hand to his head, the overshadowing leaving him slightly dizzy.
"Nothing, Naruto," Sakura said as she picked herself up. "We should get to school."
