AN: A very helpful reviewer has managed to spur me on with his very constructive review. He pointed out a few grammar mistakes that I made and threw in a few good comments that made me even more excited to write this story so I went ahead and started writing this chapter ahead of my schedule.

Now without further ado, here we go!

OoOoO

Konoha's Legendary Trickster Illusionist

A Naruto/Pokegirl crossover story that doesn't have sex as its main focus.

Chapter 1: Tricked you.

OoOoO

15 years after the Kyubi attack:

Uzumaki Naruto was hidden within the confines of the attic in a condemned building as he admired his work from a window.

Dressed all in black, with a scarf wrapped around his head to hide his brightly colored hair, Naruto could only smirk as he watched the frustrated chuunin run around below as others made quick work to try and clean up his latest work before word spread too far about it.

'As if.' He thought to himself as he looked up to the painted faces of the past Hokage's. 'This has got to have been seen by the whole village already. They can't clean what isn't really there anyways.' That final part came with an increase to the size of his smirk.

What many people in Konoha keep forgetting is that along with being an insatiable prankster, Uzumaki Naruto is what they believe to be a genius level genjutsu specialist.

'Well, time to make my appearance.' Naruto thought to himself after admiring the painted faces for another minute. He proceeded to unwrap the scarf from around his head revealing bright blonde hair that had red streaks through it, and then he gave his head a good shake to make it stand back up again in its normal style.

Throwing a few pieces of candy into his mouth as he did so, Naruto left the room by walking through the wall in the back of the room as if he was a ghost.

OoOoO

Umino Iruka was pissed. There were only two days, TWO DAYS, until the gennin exams and one of his students had to go and pull something like this.

Oh, he would admit later to himself that the looks that were put on the Hokage's faces were quite humorous. However, it was the fact that it was even done in the first place that was the problem.

He returned to himself from his internal rant and looked down upon the grinning form of Naruto who was tied up with several feet of rope at the front of the class and shook his head.

"Naruto, Naruto, Naruto." He said as he gave a disappointed look to his #1 troublemaking student. He suddenly smacked the blonde upside the head. "What the hell do you think you're doing, pulling stupid stunts like this right before graduation?" He then proceeded to glare at Naruto as others in the classroom snicker.

Naruto gave a slight glare at Iruka out of the corner of eyes which changed as he smirked again. "I was having fun? What else would I be doing painting the monument?"

Iruka couldn't help but rub his temples to try and rid himself of his quickly spreading headache. Naruto couldn't help but shiver at the smirk that suddenly started to spread across Iruka's face while his back was to the rest of the class.

"Ok, then." He said while continuing to smirk at Naruto while the others couldn't see it. "Then I'm going to have fun giving all of you a POP QUIZ!" Iruka spun around at the last two words and grinned at the sudden groans that came from the most vocal of his class.

Mizuki who was quietly sitting in the front corner of the room stood at this class and started rallying the students into a line barking instructions as he did so.

"Alright kids, line up alphabetically by last name. You'll be doing a henge into a fellow classmate given to you as your turn arrives."

As Mizuki gave his orders and the other kids proceeded to line up, Iruka smiled at Naruto and pushed the boy into joining the line. He then walked picked up his clipboard and stood in front of the chalkboard where the first of the kids, Aburame Shino, stood waiting for further instructions.

"Alright Shino, I want to see you Henge into Shikamaru-san." Shino gave a nod before quickly making the necessary hand seals and disappearing into a cloud of smoke. A few seconds later, an exact copy of Shikamaru (slouched stance included) appeared from the dissipated cloud.

"Good job, Shino." Iruka smiled at Shino with a nod. As Shino walked back to his seat he continued down the list. "Chouji, I want you to transform into Kiba."

At this point Naruto lost interest in watching his fellow classmates and decided to look out the window as the line slowly moved forwards. He heard a couple chuckles here, a sigh of exasperation there. It continued along until Naruto heard something that caught his attention making him watch again.

"Okay Hinata," Iruka said with a smile to the blushing girl. "I want you to transform into Naruto."

Naruto could've sworn that he had never seen the girl turn atomic red so fast before.

The wide-eyed girl stared at Iruka for a few seconds before she suddenly eeped and quickly made the necessary seals.

This time when the cloud of smoke cleared Iruka and Naruto were both baffled. Around them the other class members started laughing causing the shirtless Naruto at the front of the room to turn red in the face.

Glancing quickly down the front of his shirt, Naruto had to wonder one thing. 'How the hell does she know what I look without my shirt on?'

The Hinata-Naruto quickly looked down at the well-toned chest she (currently he) had and with a sudden squeak of surprise disappeared in a cloud of smoke before Hinata quickly marched back to her seat amidst the laughter of her peers and the curious eyes of her Sensei and Naruto.

With a chuckle and a knowing look Iruka continued down the list while Naruto went back to looking out the window. It was another few minutes before Naruto was brought back to the room mentally as his own name was called out.

"Naruto, since you're the reason behind this pop quiz I'm going to instead ask you to transform into somebody outside of this classroom that I know you played a trick on a few weeks ago." Naruto gave Iruka a sheepish grin before becoming serious as he awaited the name of the person he'd have to change into.

Iruka took a few seconds to watch the serious stance that Naruto held as he relished in the rare mood that Naruto was displaying. He eventually decided to just get it over with by announcing the name. "Sarutobi Asuma."

Many of the students glanced at each other questioningly while many of those who were clan heirs gawked at the knowledge that Naruto had played a prank on one of the Sandaime's children and got away in one piece.

Naruto only grinned again at the name. "Oh yeah, Smokie-san." His reaction got several more incredulous stares and some chuckles from other students.

Naruto then made a single hand seal, disappearing into a cloud of smoke.

When the cloud of smoke disappeared there was a tall black haired man standing there. Many of the students began to recognize the famous Jounin that now stood before them smoking a cigarette.

Iruka proceeded to march around Naruto as he mentally ticked off all of the defining features that he knew would be given in a description of the man right down to the trench knives he could see sticking out of the open equipment pouch on his right hip and the slightly slouched stance.

Iruka nodded to himself, impressed despite himself of the well done Henge before him.

"Good job Naruto." He praised aloud to the class. "I don't see anything wrong at all with the henge."

With another cloud of smoke Naruto reappeared as he walked to his seat for the first time that day. "Heh, you know I'm awesome sensei." Naruto stated with a thumb pointed at himself.

Iruka could only roll his eyes as he called on the next person. "Sasuke, I want you to henge into Shino."

OoOoO

That afternoon the streets of Konoha around the base of the Hokage monument were busier then usual. Looking up at the faces from the amongst the crowd Yuhi Kurenai couldn't help but let out a small chuckle as she quietly took in the changes made to the otherwise boring stone faces.

Hearing whispers begin to float back from the base of the monument about the one who had the gall to do such a thing Kurenai began skillfully slipping her way around people as she worked her way towards a better view of who she just heard was being punished with cleaning the whole thing up.

She reached where she wanted to be just in time to hear the end of a lecture that Umino Iruka was giving to Uzumaki Naruto.

"And that Naruto is why this monument has stood here as a memorial to our villages greatest hero's, our leaders."

Naruto's reaction to the lecture was a roll of his eyes as he picked his left ear with his pinky. "Yeah, yeah Iruka-sensei. I know all about this already."

"THEN WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THIS??" Iruka yelled causing Naruto to arch an eyebrow towards him before he answered.

"Because one day I will join them on the side of that mountain." Naruto said as he lifted one hand before his face where to his point of view it covered the blank space right next to the Yondaime's face.

Hearing Naruto's heartfelt answer, Iruka could only smile down at the blonde with red streaks while he couldn't be seen by the boy.

"Alright then," Iruka finally said after a few seconds of silence from the two of them. "Then your first step towards that goal from here is to clean up your own mess." Iruka finished off his statement by dropping a bucket of water with a sponge into the boy's hands.

Naruto looked at the bucket in his hands for a second before smirking at Iruka and putting the bucket on the ground.

"That won't be needed Sensei." He stated as his hands entered the ram seal.

Suddenly the images that adorned the faces started to fade and disappear before the gaping audience.

"Soap and water can't wash away illusions after all." He finished before beginning to walk away dragging Iruka. "Come on, I feel like Sushi right now."

From within the surprised and confused crowd a set of red eyes stared up at the now blank faces of the four kage's before she looked after where the student/teacher duo walked off to.

With a calculative look in her eyes, Yuhi Kurenai walked off from the gathering with a puzzle on her mind.

OoOoO

A few hours later, after eating his fill of sushi, Naruto was finally unlocking the door to his apartment. Stepping into his place Naruto took a minute to inspect all of the rooms and made sure that all of his blinds were already closed.

As he walked away from the last window a shimmer appeared around Naruto's waist and on the sides of his head to reveal pointed ears and nine blonde tails with red streaks unfurling from around his waist.

With a stretch and a yawn that revealed two large canine's Naruto then proceeded to shower and prepare for a good night's rest.

'I have a good feeling that the exams will be a cinch.' With that thought Naruto drifted off to sleep in his bed.

OoOoO

End Chapter

OoOoO

AN: A pretty short chapter for me, I know. Just so you know though, the only reason this chapter is so short is because it has already covered all of the things that I wanted it to. I even went as far as to extend the classroom scene by including the little 'Hinata henges into Naruto' part for some added humor.

For those who are cheering about a Naru/Hina pairing right now, please don't. That part isn't a statement to hint at a pairing.

Other chapters will be longer as I reach ones that I want to cover more ground in. Heck, as far as I know some chapters may even go as far as to reach the 10k+ word range.

Well, as a treat for you guys to make up for the short length, I'm now going to throw up some basic information on the 'Kyubi' Pokegirl to give you all some idea as to what Naruto might have inherited from the Pokegirl sealed inside of him. Though do know that not everything stated in this bit of information applies to Naruto.

OoOoO

KYUBI, the Trickster Mystic pokégirl

Type: Very Near Human (vulpine)

Element: Magic/Ghost

Frequency: Extremely Rare

Diet: Pokéchow, fish, candy

Role: Spy, Illusionist, Trickster, Entertainer

Libido: Average

Strong Vs: Psychic, Fighting, Dark

Weak Vs: Fire, Electric, Normal, Bug

OoOoO

Now, please remember that it's just some things that Naruto has taken from this information. Namely that his favorite foods are what are listed under diet (except the pokechow part) and that two of the weaknesses hint at more things about him. This means that this Naruto's favorite foods are Sushi and Candy, not Ramen as much as I myself love the stuff. You've probably also noticed that I chose not to post anything about the enhancements, limitations, and attacks of the pokegirl since not all of each apply to Naruto here, though some still do.

Once again, I hope to hear your opinions on this story. I hope that there aren't any rants about Naruto's food preferences in this fic. They wouldn't change anything anyways.

A hint of a future treat is that I will be listing what blood gifts/curses Naruto has due to being the Pokegirl's vessel. That probably won't be until some more of them are revealed though. That means at least a few chapters.

Adios for now,
