This chapter has a few references to Naruto filler and/or movies. I'm sure you will recognize them when you get there. Unknown reviewer Anon, I apologize but I can't take your suggestion into consideration. 1) Now that Sasuke is 7, it wouldn't be right. 2) Sasuke already showed that he didn't love Sakura. 3) Sasuke and Sakura are in different universes, it would be impossible to have a relationship like that. I hope you guys enjoy the third chapter of Full Metal Shinobi. Sorry for the wait.
FULL METAL SHINOBI.
CHAPTER THREE- SHIKAMARU, STOP THAT TRAIN.
Shikamaru signed. Why did Naruto always have to start something? Al eventually lost his hold on Edward and he and Naruto were currently wrestling on the floor. Either Naruto lost most of his taijutsu skills when he became a she, or Edward is an amazing fighter, strong enough to fight shinobi. Probably both. Suddenly a spanner flew into the room and hit Edward on the head. "Guys aren't supposed to hit girls." Was the only exclamation Winry gave as she and Kiba walked inside, tired from having their little game with the dogs. Shikamaru decided that it doesn't matter what universe you are in, Girls are troublesome. End of story.
Pinako Rockbell came in with a large pot almost as tall as herself. She smiled and pointed to the table. "Everyone sit down. It's getting late and I'm hungry. You too shorty. Hope you Strangers like curry." Edward jumped up, "who you calling shorty, a pigmy, An Oompaloompa?" the two got into a heated argument as everyone else sat down. Sasuke growled and went to fetch a pillow to sit on. Naruto and Kiba couldn't help a snort coming out at seeing a little cute Uchiha prodigy with a cushion to sit on. Sasuke gave them each a look and in an attempt to change the subject, Naruto offered to get a cushion for Edward as well. One punch and a Spanner later both were sitting at the table rubbing their heads. 'That girl reminds me of Sakura', Sasuke thought to himself, looking at Winry. 'How did I ever get into this mess?'
Edward took one bite and turned as red as a beetroot. As did Naruto and Kiba. Neji didn't eat any. He didn't eat curry anymore after that particular curry shop they went to with Guy-sensei. Shikamaru liked spicy hot foods. That and he was too lazy to stop eating. Sasuke ran outside where he blew a little ball of fire and began choking. Pinako looked at everyone's reactions. 'Perhaps I used too much spice." "Don't worry about it Ma'am. This is delicious." Choji told her, Shoveling a second helping from the pot onto his plate. Lee Stood up and gave her a High five. "This is even better than the curry of life. This must be it, what Gai-Sensei and I have been searching for. I found it Gai-sensei. The Curry of Youth." Lee ran outside and started to run towards the setting sun at high speeds. Rockbell signed at the state of these strange people. She wasn't making curry for them again. Maybe she should have made ramen.
Al stared at all the commotion. He looked at his empty plate and tried to remember the taste of the famous Rockbell Curry. At least they left a plate for him; even though he couldn't eat, he appreciated the thought. Shikamaru put down his fork, definitely easier to eat with compared to chopsticks. "Naruto, what do trains look like?" Naruto thought for a while before answering. "Two massive yellow glowing eyes. Body as long as a snake. Metal armor covering it from end to end. It moves extremely quickly and can throw more KPS (Kunai per second) than twelve angry Tentens." Neji whistled at that last part, she knew exactly how many Kunai that was. Shikamaru looked at the laughing Alchemists and mechanics. "It's not funny; it almost ate me and Princess Fuun." Kiba perked up at this. "You mean the actress, no way. I heard she was in fact the real princess of snow country." Sasuke sighed and decided to participate in the talk. "We were on the mission when everyone found out she was really a princess, Dobe-two."
Winry perked up at this. "You mean you met a Hime-sama and saved her from being eaten by a train?" she asked, not even bothering to hide the disbelief in her voice. "You better belief it, she even gave me an autograph." Naruto handed an envelope from her bag to Winry. "You still have that, Dobe? I should tell her that in my next letter to her." Naruto looked shocked at Sasuke's statement. "Unfair, How come she talks to you and not me. I'm the one whom saved her from the killer Traintrain, I mean train. Sorry, was thinking about Tenten earlier." Sasuke just shook his head at how dense and Gullible this idiot was. Winry suddenly pointed at the autograph and said, "Wait a minute, that's a guy." Naruto gulped. He'd forgotten that Winry didn't know he was really male, and that the autograph had a picture of him on it.
"Let me see that quickly" Naruto asked politely. She had to think up something quickly as Winry may not be the best person to confess to. After all, he had seen her throw that spanner. Winry handed her the Autograph. "Ohhh, I must have gotten mine mixed up with Sakura-kun's. He must have mine." At this Sasuke couldn't help but laugh. "Isn't Sakura a girl's name?" Winry looked at Naruto, She felt like Naruto was keeping something from her. Just who was this orange clad girl anyway? 'Maybe I shouldn't have gone outside while they were explaining things' Winry thought to herself. Seeing as everyone, even Pinako Rockbell, Edward and Alphonce, was trying not to laugh at the situation.
"No, its one of those mop-head names. Sakura is the blond in the autograph. He is our team member, Right Sasuke?" at the last part Naruto gave Sasuke a look that would have made Orochimaru seem as scary as a Fluffy animal toy. "Y-Y-Yeah, That's right. Sakura is our teammate." Winry gave up. It seemed she was getting nowhere. Although she could swear the boy in the autograph looked like a male Naruto. Maybe they were siblings. "Oh, by the way Naruto, its co-ed, not mop-head. Work on your Vocabulary." This from a tired looking Shikamaru. "Man today's been nothing but troublesome."
Eventually they all went to sleep except for the two Alchemists, whom wanted to make a little bonfire before they slept. Neji walked with them, as she didn't want to be left alone with the others in her new form. It was quite weird, yet natural being in her new body. Still, luckily none of them were like Al. Talk about a relief. At least they were still human, except for Akamaru of course. Even though he was now a wolf, he acted so much like a dog that even Winry couldn't thought he was one, and she was playing with Akamaru all afternoon without figuring it out.
Lee went and stood by the window looking outside. He was still upset at being so much older than everyone else, Shikamaru excluded, of course. As he was looking out among the fields he heard soft feminine footsteps walk up to him. 'It's Sakura-chan.' He thought to himself, 'She has come for me. I just know it. YEAH, Gai-sensei. Another Victory.' "Why are you smiling like that Lee?" Lee turned around and there before him was Female Naruto.
"Hey, Naruto-Ku… Naruto-Chan, What do you want?" Lee was still a bit disappointed that it wasn't Sakura-chan. Naruto went and stood next to Lee. "Why are you so sad about being older? Now aren't you more like Gai-Sensei? Wow, Check out that fire over there. Now that's what I call a fire." Lee was so surprised by what Naruto said all he could do was nod and look at the fire, feeling proud that he is now more like Gai-Sensei.
Shikamaru rolled over on his mat. Those two idiots just didn't understand they had to get up early tomorrow. They wanted to look at some fire off in the distance. If only that old woman had more beds. Why do Neji and Naruto get the spare beds anyway? And why was Naruto in this room to start with. So troublesome. Why are girls always so troublesome? Talk about a bad day. Talk about a bad week. 'At least my mother can't scream at me anymore.' This thought, instead of cheering him up, only made him sadder. With one last yawn, Shikamaru did what he did best, besides shogi. And it was just Naruto and Lee awake, starring at the smoke from a distant fire.
Neji watched the two alchemists as they watched their house burning down. "October 8th, 1910. The day we burned down our house. We have nowhere else to go, No path except for the one in front of us. No matter what happens, we will keep moving forward. We will stick together forever Al, We are brothers and share the same burden of breaking the taboo and trying to bring our mother back to life. As the fire dances before our eyes, I swear that I will find a way to restore your body back to you. You have my word." Neji listened to the resolve in Edwards's speech, and noticed how Alphonce tried to tell Ed that he would be the one restoring his arm and leg to him. "Fate has landed you two a hard card, yet you still want to fight against fate. Naruto once taught me that believing in yourself is how you can overcome fate. You two will go far." Now it was the two Alchemists turn to stare at the Shinobi. They nodded and the three walked back to the house.
As the three Alchemists were approaching the house, they saw someone crash through the window. Running they saw Lee staggering to his feet and swaying around. Suddenly five girls, All looking remarkably like female Naruto, jumped through the window and started to attack Lee. Neji grabbed one with Edward grabbing a second. Lee popped another clone with Al holding one in each arm. "What are you doing Naruto?" Naruto looked back at Neji and put on a face of pure disgust as he told him what happened.
"That Teme went to drink the medicine Baa-chan had given him, when he started talking strange and then he… he… he asked me out." Naruto spat as he said the last part. Edward and Alphonce stared in shock as the clones they were holding popped. "Lee, you are drunk. Calm down and get dressed up." Lee looked at Neji and shook his head. "I'm not drunk, haven't had a single drink. Look at me I'm fine. Isn't that right, Naruto-Chan? Naruto-Chan and I were discussing how pretty the smoke looked, so pretty, and then I had Tsunade's medicine. After that Naruto-chan and I were discussing plans to go to this pretty Curry shop. Naruto-chan can wear a pretty green dress too. And then…" Lee stopped talking after Naruto knocked him out cold. "Taijutsu master and yet one simple punch and he's out. Talk about weak." Neji shook his head, giving up, at Naruto's remark.
"Why where there so many of you earlier? Was that human Transmutation?" Naruto just looked at Edward. "I don't have a clue what you are talking about. That was my shadow replication." Edward nodded his head, thinking he understood. "So you transmuted your shadows into physical bodies. Interesting. You really are an amazing girl" Al perked up at this. "She is your height too, Nii-san. Glad to see you have found a girl you like." At this the two girls (Naruto and Neji), Lee having been forgotten about and lying in a comical way , looked at the two brothers fighting each other and chasing each other around in circles.
Eventually it was morning and all the Shinobi, with the two brothers and Winry, walked to the train station. Winry spoke with Kiba as Lee complained to the others about waking up in the bushes with little animals watching him with beady eyes. "My head hurts, and it's not just the nest pieces those birds left behind either." Neji sighed. Of cause Lee had to have a hangover and complain the whole day. Its little things like these that make you feel like having your gender swapped overnight isn't so bad. "How far till the Killer Traintrain?" everyone shot Kiba a look. "No one has a sense of humor anymore. Even Naruto seems to have lost his." This remark made Naruto reward him with a minor concussion. "Sakura and Ino clone" was all Kiba managed to get out before Naruto realized what he was doing. "This stuff is affecting my mind. Someone change me back, change me back now."
Eventually they arrived at the train station and everyone, whom has never seen a train before, watched the trains in awe. Edward made a phone call instead. Shikamaru looked at the trains. "No red eyes, No mouths and no visible means of throwing kunai. Looks like these trains are different from the ones Naruto saw." Suddenly Edward leapt back from the phone and shouted at them to board the train that was just departing. "Shikamaru, use your Kage Mane already" This from Naruto, whom had found out that trains move at quite a high speed. Shikamaru sighed and tried pointing out that shadow possession can't affect machines. He tried anyway, and shadows leapt from the ground, pinning the train in place. "Shadow sewing, I thought your father wasn't teaching you that yet, munch." Shikamaru looked at Choji, and pointed at the train. Telling him to hurry up.
Everyone climbed aboard and Edward fixed the holes Shikamaru made with his shadows. The conductor wasn't happy, but seeing that the damage was repaired, left them alone. Edward and Alphonce starred at Shikamaru, wondering how he did that. Shikamaru just returned the stares. "How did I use the Shadow Sewing Jutsu? Has my chakra evolved with my age?" Seems there were many unanswered questions, and Shikamaru didn't know the answer to a single one.

Sorry but this chapter was longer than I intended, so I've split it in two, and we have the train battle in the next chapter. Hope you guys don't mind. Tried to make this funny and interesting. Hope you enjoyed Edwards little speech, but I thought it would be a nice touch. I am planning on making some of the Shinobi learn Alchemy, but only one will be a state Alchemist. Alchemy and Ninja techniques met a little, but I still haven't had the proper Jutsu VS Alchemy thing yet. Hope you guys continue reading. That's it for FrozenShadowWolf. Next chapter is -Battle for the Train-
