Hey y'all!! How yah doin'? Here's chapter 4.

A Ninja and a Keybearer

Chapter 4: An Alliance Made

Sora ran through the streets. This was harder than he thought. You'd think anyone wearing 'Kill Me!' orange would be easy to spot. Not true. He ran to the first district and met up with a bunch of people he had seen before. He'd asked every person he could find and ended up with the same answer. No. Might as well try once more. Sora walked up a young woman wearing a teal skirt and a white blouse. "Have you seen a little blonde kid around here? He's wearing an orange and blue jacket and orange pants."

She thought for a moment and the spiky haired youth was fixing to walk away with a suppressed sigh, when she spoke up. "Actually," she said, looking back at Sora, "I did someone that matches your description. He was very loud."

Sora grinned. "That's him! Thanks!" He paused, realizing he was forgetting something. "… Do you know which way he went?" he asked sheepishly.

The woman chuckled. "He ran over and tried to open the door to the third district. You know, the one that's locked? When he found that out, he yelled about needing to get out of here or something of the like. Then he ran down the alley. He might still be there. I haven't seen him come out yet."

Sora said, "Thanks again," and ran off in the direction she had pointed out. Before Naruto even came into view, Sora heard the loud blonde.

"YOU STINKIN' CREEPS!! GET AWAY FROM ME YOU SLUGS!!"

Hurrying around the bend, Sora saw that the Kyuubi kid was surround by a group of heartless. Holding out his hand, he felt the keyblade flash in instant, ready to wield. Sora charged straight for the nearest heartless. He mentally thanked Riku for all the lessons in sword fighting as he sliced through another heartless.

Sora glanced at the blonde ninja. He had made about ten clones and was attacking any heartless that got in his way. Although he couldn't tell which one was the real one, he had to admire the younger boy's handy work. Each clone was armed with a chakra-enhanced kunai and was tearing mercilessly through the ranks of heartless. Sora turned his attention back to his fight as a soldier heartless jumped, trying to gain an advantage over him. Sora thrust his keyblade up and watched as it dissolved to dust before getting started on the next one. Several times he heard loud blasts and could only guess what Naruto was up to.

The said blonde had taken out his explosive tags again and so far taken out a wall. Not to mention many of the little black alien things. One of the heartless slashed its claws into his back, tearing through clothes and skin. But it became extremely confused when its prey poofed into a log with marks of where he had slashed it. The heartless didn't have much more time to think as a foot made contact with its skull. Naruto grinned his trademark foxy grin. His smile was suddenly wiped off his face as a somewhat bigger heartless appeared.

Naruto made four more clones quickly. Jumping on one's back his launched himself into the air and watched as his clones tripped the big creature. "U-zu-ma-ki!" the clones shouted. The Genin finished the name by bringing his foot down yet again, flattening his opponent. "Naruto Rendan!!"

Both boys sat amid the rubble caused from the explosions. The spiky haired kids looked at each other and burst out laughing. "That was some serious butt-whoopin'!" Naruto yelled, showing his signature foxy grin.

Sora nodded and grinned right back at him, but then remembered what he was supposed to do. "Naruto, you have to come with me," he said. The Leaf Nin's smile faded and his eyes lost the sparkle in them.

"No." he said after a few moments of silence. "I can't."

"Why?" Sora asked. He was well aware of the promise Naruto said he had made, but other than that, he knew nothing.

"I…" Naruto paused, wondering how much to tell him. "I have to find someone."

"Who? And why do you have to find him?"

The blonde ninja sighed and started his story. "It was very stormy in Konoha last I remember. Sakura, Sasuke, and I were heading out of the Hokage building. I woke up in the middle of the night suddenly and looked out the window. I saw someone running in the street. I thought they were crazy, but then I saw that it was Sakura." Naruto sighed.

"Sakura may be a lot of things, short-tempered, destructive, angry, but one thing she isn't is crazy. She almost always has a reason for doing something. So naturally, I ran after her. She saw me and asked where Sasuke is. I have no idea why she even cares about that idiot, much less why she was looking for him, but that's not the point.

"By that time, the storm had gotten extremely bad, and I was kinda creeped out. But what was even scarier was when this guy stepped out of this black portal thingy. He grabbed Sakura, and stopped me by sending those… heartless?" Sora nodded. "Well, he told me that if I wanted to restore my world, I'd have to find and help the keybearer."

That brown haired boy straightened suddenly when he heard this. Naruto took note and resolved to ask later. "Sasuke, the jerk, showed up just then and told me that we could use darkness to find Sakura. When I refused, he knocked me out and I ended up here, fighting Leon." Naruto nodded, showing that he was done.

Sora looked at the ninja with wide eyes. His story was just like his own! How could he tell this boy he had to stay here!? And not only that, he was looking for him!!

"Naruto, you don't have to worry about finding the keybearer," he told him.

"Why?" Naruto glared accusingly at Sora. "You gonna make sure I stay in this stupid town?"

Sora shook his head. "Nope. Because I'm the keybearer." The Kyuubi host just stared at the older boy.

"But… what… when… HUH?!"

Sora grinned at the blonde's confusion. "Tell you what. If it's so important for you to find me, I'll let you come on my big… journey. I'll smuggle you along. Leon won't know a thing," he winked, bringing out Naruto's signature grin.

Just then a noise sounded from above. "Yeaaahhhhhhhgggg!!" Looking up, Naruto was just quick enough to escape the two strange figures that fell on top of Sora.

The said boy, in daze, was spread out on the ground. On top of him were what looked like a duck and a dog… that were wearing clothes… and had weapons. They both looked up from their place on the ground and stared at the outstretched hand that held the keyblade. In union, they cried out, "THE KEY!!"


Sasuke tried not to show the annoyance in his face. This was worse than when Naruto challenge him to a fight! It was worse than Sakura trying to gain his attention! It was even worse than the rabid fan girls chasing him everywhere he went!! Well, almost. He was standing at the front of a hallway with an elgant stairway going up. The boy with silver hair stood in front of him.

He had brought him here. It was all his fault that he had to wait. Sasuke decided to glare at him until whoever this all-powerful lady he was supposed to meet came. The boy obviously felt the tension in the air and tried to break the silence by starting a conversation. "You'll like her. She can give you all the power you want and more!"

"Hmph," was all the reply he got. It would have to take a whole lot more to get the raven haired boy talking. Just as Sasuke was about to express his hatred of waiting, a green light glowed eerily. And with a blinding light, a lady stood in the middle of the hallway.

She wore a long black cloak with the ends cut to look like flames. Her hair was up in two tight peaks, so it looked like horns, and her light green face was beautiful, but any fool could see that she was dangerous. She smiled coldly when she the Uchiha. "Welcome, Sasuke," she said, her voice sounded sweet, but the raven haired boy could detect the slight bit of poison in it. "My name is Malificent."

Okay, I have a question. This idea suddenly popped into my head one day and I was all like, "Ooo!! That's cool!!" But I want to know if it'd be a good idea. What if, while Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Naruto are traveling the world, they run into some of the Naruto gang? If I do do this, I'd only do about 6 or 7. And if you'd like to read this, tell me who you'd want to see, and where.

Donald and Goofy come into the story and explain that they're looking for the keybearer, too! They say they have a way to get from world to world, but before anymore is said, a huge metal heartless comes into the scene! The four are going to have to work together to fight it. Will they sucede? Will Naruto be able to get away from Leon's watching eyes?
