Summary: The H.E.A.T team are on assignment and this time they're dealing with two Godzilla Juniors. It's nurture vs. nature gone crazy especially when a disgruntled artist and a hyperactive ninja (guess who) become parents to giant fire breathing lizards with demon chakra powering up their pipes.
Author's Note: I don't own Naruto or Godzilla the series. This takes place in an alternate universe since I don't know how much damage bouncing baby lizards the size of football fields can make. I've been researching all over the place to make sure this story is believable. My friend and I have also thought up a few running gags to make sure this chapter is full of the funny.
(What happened so far)
"Um excuse me, Gomen nasai?" I thought, my brain whirled for the right words but my mouth answered for me, "Us . . . Need help?"
"Otoochan, Otoochan," The golden eyed shadow spoke as if tasting the ability to speak for the first time. It gently shook Naruto's shoulder, "Papa, Papa?"
"He's fine . . . Just exhausted," I toned. The red eyed one sniffed Naruto's hair before casually licking his cheek with a long slithery tongue you'd expect to find on a komodo dragon.
The gold eyed one gave me a worried look whining, "Okaasan?"
"Okaasan is exhausted too," I chided before my world went black. Then common sense hit me like a ton of bricks! Did that thing just call us parents?!
(Now on with the show)
Kaiju Chaos Kyuubi Style
Chapter 2: Unready Parents
The light; it beckoned, but I would not give in! I couldn't give in and that was final. I mean if that light was the light at the end of the tunnel that led poor mortal souls down the River Styx(1).I was going to go down fighting. In fact I think that was what I thought I was doing but instead of strangling a shinigami(2), I was strangling Sakura who held a Flashlight.
GONG
"YOU BAKA!(3)" Sakura roared her fist grated into my skull as she brought all her weight into that 'weak' punch; what, blunt force trauma much? "You're not. Supposed. To. Move dane it! What do you want to do kill your nerve endings and everything else with it?! You know you'd die if you kill your chakra coils Clarity. Tsunade-shishou(4) even gave you a doctor's notice in her handwriting for you to remember that."
Okay what do I tell Sakura, the medical ninja? Do I tell her, hey guess what both the demon chakra in my system and the Kyuubi chakra in Naruto's system just got sucked out by a glacier that turned out to be a giant egg. We fought a mutated Sasuke and then got rescued by giant hatchlings, who adopted us as their parents! Yeah Tsunade(5) just taught Sakura how to disembowel people with her bare hands. I'm not going to tell her I became the mother to a couple of bouncing baby lizards. Still curiosity got the better of me.
"Hey Sakura," I choked, "How would Naruto react if he learned he was a father?"
Sakura looked and looked at me. Then she burst out rolling and laughing. Naruto was laying right beside me with this scrunched up look on his face, sign of extreme confusion. He looked like he was pondering the universe. I guess it didn't hit him yet he got imprinted upon by another.
Naruto was about to ask something but Sakura cut in first with this long interlude of patting me down, sending a glowing hand of chakra up and down as she chattered, "You know Clarity, it took quite a while to find you two." She pointed at Naruto with her free hand as she continued to explain to us both. "I waited for Yamato, Shikamaru, Murray and Sai to get to the beach before we started to look for you two. This beautiful red and multicolored blast of light suddenly lit up the sky and when we went to the source. We saw you two getting dragged off by giant lizards. Don't worry we chased them-"
"HEY THOSE LIZARDS WERE JUST BORN AND YOU USED VIOLENCE?" I snapped, bad move I kicked Sakura in the region no foot should go as I threw a hissy fit, "THEY SHOULD'VE NAMED YOU DR. PEIN!"
An awkward silence enveloped us both. Sakura, used to outlandish emotional displays coming out of Naruto instead of me, grabbed what looked like a handful of giant malt balls with one hand. The other hand was propping me up. She jiggled her hand aiming for my face.
"Shut up and eat a food pill." She snapped shoving the load down my throat.
GAWK
AWK
GULP GULP
Yuck, it tasted more like a big gulp of nasty! Sai was right, those food pills(6) really did taste like mud but they did their job. Much needed energy rushed through me enough for me to grab my coffee thermos, rip it open, and poured big mouthfuls of coffee down my throat to wash out the taste of Malted Mud Balls. Even though food pills take a good degree of medical prowess to make them effective (Sakura has medical prowess running out her ears). It also takes a good degree of cooking sense to make them taste edible. Sakura fails in the taste department that she tries to make something so healthy that it tastes worse than Ramen mixed with strawberry ice cream and anchovies. I call it healthy poisoning and I won't touch Sakura's home cooking with a ten foot pole.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(Aleutian Coastline: Third Person Point of View)
Shikamaru stretched and walked lazily along the shore with his hands in his pockets. In his mind he was on a sunny beach down near that one place called Cuba watching the clouds fly away. Yet every time he tried to find that happy place in his head his mind would wonder back to that giant beam of light that parted the sky. He wanted to find out what was going on as everyone else too. Yet Sai already had a bunch of his little cartoon rats scampering all over the island. Why waste energy when you can use it to think, was all he was thinking of right now when something big . . . Very big came thundering his way on unsteady feet.
CRUNCH
CRUNCH
Panicking Shikamaru hid behind a cliff formation and waited. The bumbling big thing stepped closer, closer, than jumped. Shikamaru cocked an eyebrow. He looked around one corner. A humongous lizard head with glowing red eyes peeped around the other corner sniffing whatever delicious smells came from the backside of his pants. Shikamaru spotted a wagging brown tail that looked like it belonged to a man sized T-Rex. He followed the tail. The lizard followed his pants, they went round and round and round the rock till Shikamaru turned and went face to face with the scariest sight of his life!
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh," Shikamaru screamed
"Grawwwwwwwwwr," The red-eyed lizard warbled claws flung up in fear.
"Ahhhhh"
"Grawr"
"Ah . . ."
"Grawr"
". . ." Shikamaru stood silently dumbfounded.
"GRAWWWWWWWR," sobbed the lizard as it up and ran away.
Shikamaru was trying to reach for Murray's Cell Phone when he paused and found a hole. The lizard ripped his pants! Cursing inwardly, he stomped up the cliff side to where his team mates were trying to restrain a hyper orange clad guy from killing a disgruntled young woman in a pink parka.
Shikamaru sighed, "This is becoming one troublesome mission."
(Earlier Back at Camp; Clarity's Point of View)
Ever had to deal with a wound up hyperactive teen? Well this was the first time I've had to deal with one hyped up on food pills and coffee. Sakura shoved the same food pills down his throat as the ones I just had to swallow (they're huge). Gagging, Naruto went ballistic looking for something to wash the taste out of his mouth. I hand Naruto a random thermos. He drained the contents.
"Blech," Naruto cringed, "What kind of tea is that?"
"Uh Naruto let me see that container." I murmured motioning him to throw the thing my way, I looked for my name and there it was in bright bold letters, "Naruto you just . . . Ah screw it."
Naruto fidgeted and hummed as he tapped his foot and stared around wide eyed ready to spring. I explained the edited version (kept the egg out of the conversation for now) about our fight with Sasuke to captain Yamato. Sakura threatened Naruto to hush with a clenched fist and lots of yelling. Sai was uncharacteristically quiet for a spell.
"Th-that's the honest truth." I stammered still not being able to keep a poker face (darn nervousness).
"Are you sure?" Yamato asked, smirking about me being in the hot seat for once.
"You're lying," Sai beamed with his fake little grin of a 'mirth mask', "Even I can tell!"
"But I'm not lying," I blabbed flailing, "I just didn't want to tell you there's giant baby lizards on the island that just imprinted on Naruto and I as their parents . . . Uh-oh . . ."
They simultaneously face faulted. Sai looked up quizzically from his sketch of me running for the hills. Silence filled the scene for a time. Yamato scratched the back of his head until a devious grin spread across his face. Don't ask me how I know this but by hanging around a bunch of stealthy assassins, I could only guess the gestures before Yamato said the three words I haven't heard in forever.
"Naruto," Yamato barked, "Get her!"
ZOOM
Naruto, in a blaze of orange, bounded down the mountain at quadruple his normal speed! Geez, that food pill and coffee hype must've been an overdose of energy. Panicking, I chucked a snow ball in his face. It didn't phase him! A snow flurry followed in his wake. Oh sure, I had the head start but a hyped up Naruto was gaining fast!
Note to self: Never ever give Naruto food pills washed down with extra strong coffee.
Shikamaru, meanwhile, was moseying up hill. He quickly turned sideways. No way did he want anyone to see his Mothra boxers. He already had a big enough hole in his pants. I didn't notice much. I was too busy fleeing the scene.
"Oh-hey-Shikamaru-nice-boxers-got-to-jet-bye-bye," I chattered running for my life. Naruto hot on my heels. Shikamaru opened his mouth to say something but got buried in a snow drift. He looked like a skinny snow man with pineapple hair.
I scrambled up the mountain; knees ached, ribs on fire, and my throat felt like a desert chasm. I wheezed, coughed, turned around to face Naruto only to be tackled standing up.
"Gotcha!" He cheered for a brief moment we floated in midair. I felt around beneath me but my hand only caught air. I glanced, squeezed my eyes shut hoping to never see that hundred meter drop.
"Uh Naruto," I wheezed, "Don't look down."
"Why?" Naruto asked, he looked down; too late; drop started.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
THUD
FWOK
SMASH
CRASH
WA-BAM
We fell through the branches of a pine tree and hit the springy mossy earth with a thud! Oh sure, it wasn't unusual to see pine trees in Alaska. I remembered lecturing Naruto one time about Siberian fur hunters competing with the local Aleuts over spots like this in the 17-1800's. What got me though was the smell. I'm no super nose, but I could already tell from experience in my travels what that smell was.
"Did someone leave rotten eggs around?" Naruto asked with a curious sniff.
"Here's a hint," I remarked, "What's one of Jiraiya's(7) favorite peeping places?"
"Oh yeah the hot springs!" Naruto beamed than furrowed, "and this makes sense why?"
"Oh come on!" I stated, "Spring water is pretty much fresh water unless you want to drink straight from the Pacific Ocean and die."
Naruto grumbled some smart remark but a roar rumbled. He froze up, stiffened, eyes darted and whirled around at a twig snapping. I never saw Naruto this tense in my life! His shoulder raised; kunai in hand. I had to grab his wrist before he threw it between those golden eyes.
Owner of said eyes stepped from the shadows on a pair of long lean legs. Her slender, almost angular, head cocked itself slightly at this orange clad creature or at least I think that's how she felt. I don't know what went through that gold eyed lizard's mind. All I knew was she just stood there and stared that black panther stare, it was unnerving. She reminded me of someone familiar but who? A pair of eager red eyes glowed with life in the shadows, his tail thumping wildly against the trees.
"Cool your fires Naruto," I whispered under my breath in the same soothing tone I used on whiny kids and their angry moms, "Remember when I blabbed about the giant baby lizards?"
Naruto looked confused as the two giant bipedal lizards just went back into the shadows. They whispered in hushed gutturals. Naruto, deciding to have a lunch break, plopped on a log and concentrated Chakra into his hand to warm up a steamy cup of instant Chili Fish Ramen he fished from his bag. I don't know how he could eat at a time like this but when I saw the twins eye that food the way a cat eyes sushi. I guessed they hadn't eaten since well, ever.
"Hey Naruto can I borrow one of your cups of ramen?" I asked, Naruto sighed and reluctantly handed the cup to me before starting on another one. I opened it, took a bite, it wasn't half bad, and waved for the twins to come out. They wouldn't budge! I didn't need to get down eye level with the babies. They were eye level with me.
I held my arms out wide as if to receive a hug and crooned, "C'mere you two."
The red eyed one backed away at first until the gold eyed one growled free food. The red eyed one burst from the bushes in a gallop! Looking at him now he looked all arms, legs and humongous head with a scrawny chest. I'm certain once he grew into that head he'd be a colossal giant! His scales sparkled like a bronze cast in the mid-day sun. His sister, however, was a lot more cautious. I know lots of mutations aren't supposed to be pretty but she had potential to be an absolute beauty! Right now she was all arms, legs, and narrow komodo dragon head with a scraggy chest. We were traipsing on their four legged biological mama now that I think about it. Boy, they're going to be big.
The gold eyed one eyed me curiously, gave me a cautious sniff and kissed me with a forked tongue. I handed her a noodle. Her eyes brightened as she gobbled down the delicious treat. Her brother on the other hand was hiding behind the log giving Naruto baleful puppy eyes. Naruto was busy slurping up noodles with some chopsticks before he could feel the stare.
"Awww what is it wittle guy?" Naruto crooned which struck me, when did Naruto ever use baby talk? "You want wamen too?"
"RARR," answered the lizard with a sudden lunge he hoisted the cup and unceremoniously dropped the contents in his mouth. Naruto fell off the log in fright. Broth dribbled down the red eyed one's nose.
"What the-" Naruto vehemently swore as he landed backwards. The brown lizard threw the cup aside and landed opposite Naruto's head. He smothered him with wet slobbery dog style kisses. He curled up behind Naruto's back and wrapped his tail around his 'father'.
"Otoochan?" The gold eyed one chirruped, "Papa is that you?"
"NANI?!" Naruto shouted, eye's wide and white as he looked back at one lizard then the other.
"Like I said before," I announced now that it finally sunk into Naruto's thick skull, "Congratulations you're now the father of a couple bouncing baby lizards."
"Okaasan," She chirruped again, "Why's Otoochan weird?"
"He was K.O.'ed when you took him out of that crevice remember?" I asked, which the gold eyed one gave a knowing nod. Jeez these two are like what twenty four hours old how smart could giant lizards get? Boy if Naruto wasn't freaked out before he sure was freaked out now.
(Meanwhile back in camp)
Shikamaru was exhausted. A giant red-eyed lizard ripped a huge gaping hole in his pants. He could feel the wintry breeze between his knees. He had snow in all the wrong places thanks to Naruto chasing Clarity down a snowy mountainside and Naruto burying Shikamaru in his energy crazed wake. Now he had to not only dig himself out which was too much wooooork. He now had to hoof it up to a campsite which was a Mokuton style one room house in the middle of nowhere. Yamato beamed at him, happy to see him alive till he passed Yamato and landed head first into the bed roll.
"This is such a drag," he whined, "Will the troublesome nightmare ever stop?"
"What's gotten into you?" Yamato asked till he noticed the gaping hole where Shikamaru's back pocket used to be.
Murray noticed the hole in his pants too and asked, "Hey is that Mothra flying out your pants? Cool! Cause I have the blue and green Godzilla boxer set in my bag!"
"Unnnn be quiet you guys," Shikamaru groaned, he wanted to sleep and Murray picked now of all times to . . . Not . . . Shush . . . Up!
"C'mon what'd you find out? Did you find out any cool ninja stuff? Huh? Didja didja didja?" Murray beamed, "Where'd that hole come from? Why're you covered in slush. Oh HEY SAI GEUSS WHAT? SHIKAMARU HAS MOTHRA FLYING OUT HIS PANTS!"
Sai perked at the mention of his name and peeped in to see what was going on. He'd been drawing for so long that he forgot what time it was when Murray called. Yamato was chocking back a fit of the giggles. Yes he was a shinobi but sometimes he found this group's antics just too funny. Sakura had the politeness to laugh to herself but her inner Sakura was rolling and howling with laughter. Shikamaru hid his tomato red face in shame. I mean all this fuss over some troublesome underpants what next?
"Report Shikamaru," Yamato smirked, fighting back the urge to laugh.
Shikamaru didn't know what to say. He could just lie than he could go back to sleep, but then guilt would set in. He toyed with the idea of ignoring everyone but Murray kept poking his head. Even that's hard to ignore. He sighed and turned to face the group. He could only tell the truth.
"I was patrolling the Coastline to see if there was a way to signal the S.S. Borealis, which is a drag," Shikamaru sighed, sure they could've asked Sai to fly all the way back but Sai didn't have the chakra for it and it would've been a waste of energy, good thing everything was a wild trip with Naruto always putting his I.Q. to the test, "I stopped when I heard strange foot prints and hid, so did whatever was following me. I looked to find a giant brown lizard tail and followed the lizard which come to find out it was following me! Biggest scare of my life, I screamed, He, she, I think it was He that screamed, I stopped screaming. The lizard began to cry and ran away. It was only after word I discovered the hole in my pants and I'm sorry Murray the lizard took your cell phone."
"Ah nuts," Murray pouted before brightening, "But you got to admit, that lizard must be pretty cool."
"Yeah," Shikamaru admitted, "He's pretty cool."
Sai tried to be nice and not embarrass Shikamaru any further but his plan backfired as he stated, "Can I sketch your underpants?"
"You definitely are not a social person are you?" Shikamaru inquired giving Sai a death glare.
Everyone looked at that hapless artist like he lost his marbles. A passing hawk keened in the background since there were no crickets to chirp and fill in the awkward silence. Sai squirmed; unused to the feeling of being in the hot seat. He thumbed through his communication book. Murray gave him a blank stare with his bright teal eyes. Sai decided enough was enough and switched the subject to something he did know; the mission.
"Actually," Sai stated with a gulp, "I think I know I might know where the lizards are hiding. While Shikamaru was trudging back to camp, Clarity dropped her cell phone."
"I get where you're going," Shikamaru stated since they had one cell phone and the lizards had the other, "Murray do you know Clarity's cell phone number?"
"Know it?" Murray scoffed, "You just hit speed dial, she's the only one on line 2. Hey if we find the lizard with my cell phone could he autograph my extra set of Godzilla boxers. I think I'll hang'em up next to my Ponyo(8) plushy in my room."
(Back near the hot springs: Clarity's point of view & Naruto just fainted from shock hours ago)
DO-DO-DOO-DEE-DO-DA-DO-DO-DO . . . CARAMEL DANSEN
Murray's cell phone went off right next to one of the lizards. The red eyed one that curled up around Naruto just reached out to grab it and got sliced by a flying kunai.
"So," Shikamaru drawled, "Are those the lizards?"
"Baby lizards," I implied, placing my hand up before the gold eyed one beside me before a fight broke out, "They don't know any better, and . . . Wait is that Mothra flying out your pants?"
"GAAAAAARRRR," She roared, leaping past Shikamaru into the brush.
"Let me go!" Sakura yelled, her black gloved hands pinned beneath the fore claws, her ankles pinned between long black toes. Okay I know it's not supposed to funny but to see the strongest girl I've ever met get whooped by a baby lizard was stinking hilarious. I was laughing my head off.
"Mokuton no Jutsu" Yamato called as he hit his palm to the ground. Wooden slats emerged from the ground and wrapped around Sakura's attacker.
"Let . . . Me go!" the gold eyed one snapped, "Let me go!"
Naruto still didn't know what to do. First, long story short, he just woke up from the biggest caffeine induced headache in history. I heard a slight moan and whipped around to see the red eyed one just helping Naruto up before crawling off to nurse a hurt hand. I sighed, Shikamaru sighed and Sakura was cussing out her big gold eyed baby attacker. That lizard sobbed and let out a pathetic whine.
"Alright alright that's enough!" Yamato shouted in a voice commanding everyone else to shush; the gold eyed one chewed her way out of the slats by now, "Now can anybody make sense of what's been going on so far?"
"Oh I know I know," Murray beamed, "Naruto and Clarity taught the babies a new trick!"
Yamato face palmed and Sakura looked at him like he was nuts. Sai had out a digital camera and was taking pictures. When did Murray and Sai show up anyway?
"Well there is one trick," Naruto pondered aloud before asking, "Ne Clarity, could you pass me your Ramen." There wasn't much left, the lizard got the lions share so I handed it over without complaint.
"C'mon you two," He yelled, "Who wants Ramen?"
Naruto shook the half empty cup causing the lizards to stir. Eyes shined upon the prize. Naruto grinned a foxy grin. The lizards lunged. He ducked and rolled. The only thing we saw was a blur of black and brown.
(Meanwhile where the Ramen cup was landing Third Person Point of View)
Sasuke, trudged warily forward to a source of heat, any heat. He hated the Alaskan cold. He hated being dumped out into the wilderness all to find some stupid DNA for his Snaky Sensei's insane new pet projects. Kabuto(9), always the first to jump, volunteered to put his medical expertise to good use. Leaving Sasuke to do the one thing he hated the most, putting his life's work aside for later.
(Flashback brought to you in Emo Vision)
"You're not training me until I do more of your lousy footwork?" Sasuke remembered snarling at his sensei, Orochimaru, who just warmly chuckled at his future body's rarely riled temper. "Why do I have to help you? What's in it for me if I can't have any more of your power to defeat my brother?"
"Oh you can be so power-hungry," Orochimaru(10) crooned, "I was just wondering if you'd be interested in a new kind of training. Sure it involves pain, screaming, and crying your head off but I wonder have you ever watched the television news about Mutations."
'What news,' He thought to himself, 'What television? We can't even stay in one place long enough to even afford cable.'
(Flashback end)
He shook his head with a small chuckle at himself saying, "That Clarity woman is rubbing off on me a little too well. It's no wonder the Dobe(11) takes such a brotherly shine to that harpy."
He slumped a moment to check his wounds, 2nd and 3rd degree burns every where he turned his pale body; check. Face still intact; check. His new mutated body parts burnt; check. The wonderful surge of absolute power; priceless.
"Oh I know I know," A childish voice loudly beamed causing Sasuke to freeze with a familiar sense of dread, "Naruto and Clarity taught the babies a new trick!"
'Babies?' Sasuke wondered, 'What babies are they talking about?'
He heard Naruto mumble something about asking Clarity for something about Ramen before he heard Naruto clearly say, "C'mon you two who wants Ramen?"
Something bright crimson flew into his field of vision. Sasuke caught it without a second thought. He did wince from the sudden hot flash of pain lacing his crispy fingers. He whirled it around one handed to find it to be a half eaten cup of instant Ramen. His lips moving precariously as he read the label.
"Chile Fish Ramen?" Sasuke chortled, "Is this some kind of joke?"
Unfortunately the blur of ravenous black and brown Ramen obsessed lizards aimed at his raven haired head was not a joke at all.
(Back at where the Ramen cup was thrown; Clarity's Point of View)
ROAAAAAARRRRRRR
GYAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
KRACK
SNAP
ROAR
SQUELCH
"Oh no," Naruto and I screeched suddenly remembering someone long forgotten, "SASUKE!"
All of us ran to his rescue but too late. When we reached where Sasuke last stood. The gold eyed lizard stood back suddenly; wide eyed horror engulfing her golden glowing eyes. Her red eyed brother grabbed the cup and drained the contents but when he looked up from the cup to her sister staring at him sitting on someone's face. He keened and ran to Naruto's side burying his face into Naruto's once pristine winter cloak. Myself along with several others fought the urge to hurl as Sai kept snapping photos. I mean, 2nd and 3rd degree burns, lacerations, bruises, broken bones and gnaw marks so did not look good on Sasuke.
"Oh! I see you taught the twins how to beat Sasuke up!" Murray cheered until he realized what he said and frowned, "You know that's not as funny. That don't bend that way right?"
"Mah . . . He looks more troublesome than when he left." Shikamaru lazily droned, hands in his front pockets knowing the gaping hole in the back of his pants was nothing to Sasuke's plight.
"Yuck," I cried finally being able to say something, "This looks worse than when he was taking steroids under Kabuto's care but the whole gene spliced deal is definitely Orochimaru's fault."
"Hey let's get him to Grandma Tsunade," Naruto quipped, "Someone dial 1-800-baachan! Believe it!"
Sakura bravely ran to Sasuke's side. She reached into her Kunai pouch. She pulled out her favorite black gloves. She cracked her knuckles. Round up for the pitch and . . . If Sasuke wasn't in pain before . . .
WA-BAM
. . . Oh boy is he moaning now . . .
"Sasuke you idiot!" Sakura openly sobbed, "You idiot! Idiot! Idiot! WHAT DID THAT SNAKE DO TO MY SASUKE-KUN?!"
She just went from mad to crying to cheery in five minutes flat as she looked up and beamed with a cheery grin saying, "Sasuke looks like hell but I'll make him well!"
Naruto and I respectively cringed. She gets scary around Sasuke. Believe me, the last time Sai said something bad about Sasuke just to test her, she bodily threw him off the Borealis Cruise Ship. Sai flew nearly two hundred feet away. Naruto proceeded to let the poor guy swim for it until I went to knocking skulls together. Good grief, we had to tie extra ropes and bed sheets to a life preserver and Yamato made Sakura throw it Sai's way. Sai had to spend days in sick bay for pneumonia, bruises, and a broken jaw.
Yamato took a deep breath and called everyone's attention.
"Clarity, Sakura, find some way to make a stretcher for Sasuke. He's going to need it. The rest of you, bring our gear back down from the mountain. Something tells me we should set up camp right here."
Entertaining Footnotes: This is just a refresher or just a few clues and hints for those that may be unfamiliar with either Naruto or Godzilla: the Series. I also included a few hints on how Clarity ended becoming familiar with the Ninja World.
(1) River Styx- In other words the river that separated the world of the living from the world of the dead. It's actually a Greek Mythology reference. Clarity can be so weird sometimes.
(2)Shinigami- A death god; otherwise known as an the oriental version of a grim reaper. I'm some people may've heard of it from Deathnote or Bleach. In Naruto, the fourth hokage offered up his soul to a Shinigami to seal Kyuubi, the nine tailed fox into Naruto when he was a newborn baby.
(3)baka-The Japanese word for saying stupid.
(4)Shishou-a Japanese suffix that an apprentice might give a master. Sakura was an apprentice of Tsunade's in order to become a medic nin for obivious reasons Jiraiya dubbed her as Tsunade Jr (temper, monster strength).
(5)Tsunade Senju-The 5th Hokage or current village leader of Konohagekure (Village Hidden in the Leaves) One of the three Legendary Sannin. She's a medical whiz who's revolutionized what it means to be a Medical Ninja.
(6) Food Pills- It's a specially made pill full of proteins and a special stimulant that causes a boost in energy. Basically it's a chakra booster.
(7)Jiraiya-Another one of the three Legendary Sannin. He's also a legendary pervert. He's the famous author of the Icha Icha Book Series it's basically as Naruto calls it a pervy book. Kakashi the Copy Ninja loves to read this series and coincidentally so does Clarity but she's one of the few to ever read it and not get a nosebleed. Thus she states "Au Contraire, you do not have to be a pervert to enjoy steamy literature."
(8)Ponyo Plushie-Yes most of the DVD's of that magical little fish Ponyo come with a plushy of Ponyo herself when she was a goldfish. Yes Murray is a complete anime nerd, he once broke into Shikamaru's house at four a.m. and watched Sailor Moon with the volume turned up full blast and the whole Nara house hold still slept through Murray making himself at home fixing himself a sandwich.
(9)Kabuto Yakushi-Orochimaru's most loyal henchman. He's a medical whiz with an AB blood type personality and a sadistic streak. He's most known for sewing up corpses in the most gruesome ways imaginable. Too bad Clarity and Kabuto are always at odds with each other. Every time Kabuto plays mind games. She gets cheerful and plays 20 question (loves research).
(10)Orochimaru-One of the three Legendary Sannin. He defected from Konoha years ago. He's obsessed in forbidden Jutsu. He's the mad scientist of the Naruto Ninja World. He also seeks immortality by switching bodies but the bodies soon reject him like one big body organ so he has to switch to another. In other words, Sasuke is his future body. Clarity hates him for talking about Sasuke like he's a Gucci handbag.
(11)Dobe- A Japanese word that's a rude way of calling someone a complete idiot.
