Yo! ShinobiGama back with another Chapter! Wow! I was really surprised by how quickly 6 people reviewed this thing. That made me happy. I guess original stories have that affedt on people. Anyway the plot thickens this chapter and new faces are introduced. Please enjoy this next Chapter. Now here Is Takan from THE SANTORI CHRONICALS to do the disclaimer
Takan: Hmmph. SG does not own Naruto or Pokemon. As if he ever could. He is far too much of a weakling. ONLY BRUTE STRENGTH COULD MAKE HIM POSSESS THESE TWO ENTERPRI-OOOF!
Riku: oops hee hee sorry Tak! Gotta Dash!
(Mob of girls chase Riku right over Takan)
Takan:...
SG:......yahhhh on with the fic!
Naruto, I Choose You!
After countless hours of running around in circles Naruto finally calmed down....slightly.
"Ok, Ok, I can get throught this. Im just a fox now. That's all....A fox with six tails....a red fox with six tails...a red fox with six tails with evil beady eyes and OMYGODIMKYUUBI AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!"
So once again, Naruto was in hysterics.
After watching (well more like sensing) Naruto run around a few more times, the Uchiha decided that enough was enough. He flew...somewat, hey! he was new at this, down to the spazoid of a fox and swiftly smacked him with one of his wings
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*swish. BONK* OW! What the hell was that for you teme!?!"
"CALM DOWN goddammit! Do you have any idea how hard it is to retain my sanity with not only coming to terms that i died but that now I am some sort of BAT?!"
"You dont understand Sasuke! All my life I struggled to prove to the villagers that I wasn't a monster, now look at me! I am EXACTLY what they accused me of! I'm a Demon fox!"
Now the last...okay that title belonged to Itachi now, now the bat like Uchiha was confused. As far as he had known the Dobe had never had problems with the villagers before, and now he is told that he was treated like a pariah? The Uchiha did not like not having the answers.
"What are you not telling me Naruto? Why did the villagers call you a demon?"
Naruto sighed and turned his beady little eyes towards the bat.
"Sasuke, do you know what happened thirteen years ago, on the night of October Tenth?"
"Ofcourse, the Kyuubi no Yoko attacked our village and the Fourth Hokage killed but lost his life in exchange"
Naruto had a small,sad smile. He nodded his fur covered head saying,
"Yah...thats half true, but I was also born that night. Whats more, the Fourth Hokage did not kill the demon. The Kyuubi was far too powerful for that, no instead he sealed the beast into an infant who had not yet been in the world long enough to see the sun. I was that baby, Sasuke."
All of a sudden it all made sense. Sasuke had always known that Naruto did not get along well with the villagers, but he had always assumed it was because he was an idiot who played pranks on them. Whenever he had been in Naruto's company in the village he had seen those glares, and now they held so much more malice than what he had first perceived. Naruto had been fighting to earn their respect and love since he had learned of the villager's dislikeing of him.
And now, Sasuke, the prodigy Uchiha who had never felt remorse or regret, felt like a jerk. An asshole. He inwardly grimace when he found the right word for what he was. ...a teme.
He was the boy who was had and was given everything.
Respect for his name. Naruto was spat upon for his.
Adoration for his social standing. Naruto was the scum of the earth to most.
Admiration for his skills. Naruto would be lucky if someone taught him anything.
A large, beautiful compound. Naruto lived in a dingy, cold, cheap apartment.
He had once had a Family. Naruto...he had never known a mother's embrace.
And just when Naruto had finally found someone he considered a brother, Sasuke left to gain more power to kill his own real brother.
The bat turned it's head towards the fox and gently placed a wing on its back.
"You have never been, nor shall you ever be that monster. You are Uzumaki Naruto, a shinobi, a dobe, and...my friend. Who cares if you now look like a mini rokubi? Take a look at me! Do you see me calling myself a demon bat? No, you see me cursing some sick deity who has it in for me."
Naruto looked at Sasuke in bewilderment. The Uchiha was being friendly? Now he knew he was dreaming.
Sasuke allowed himself a small smirk before he flew a foot above Naruto,
"Now I don't know about you, but I'm goin to act like a real ninja, and find out just what the hell is going on."
"Hey! I am just as good a ninja as you are! Don't leave with out me Teme!"
They had a small laugh as they began trekking through the woods. Naruto turned to Sasuke.
"...Sasuke?...Thank you."
Sasuke only kept flying in response
!!!!!!!!!
"......I spy with my little eye"
"I am NOT playing that game Dobe! What part of I cant SEE anything did you not understand?"
"......something green"
"....a tree"
"Dammit! something hmmmm tall?"
"a tree."
"Damn! You ARE good at this okay, something with bark?"
"a tree"
"ERRRG somethi-"
"Tree"
"Thats not fair! You have to let me finish!"
Sasuke was annoyed. After walking and flying for three hours straight the two transformed shinobi had encountered no clue as to where they were.
"I swear if we dont find anythin-, wait, whats that sound?"
Sasuke had heard something, a rustling of sorts in the grass lands just up ahead. Screw rustling, it sounded like a freaking war was going on.
"I dont hear anyth- sniff sniff, Hey Sasuke, you smell that?"
"I dont have a nose dobe."
"oh...."
"...."
"...yah sorry. Anyway it smells like, smoke? yah smoke and some kind of vegetable up ahead."
Just as Sasuke was about to respond, what looked like a blue radish burst through the bushes crying.
"HELLLLLLLLLP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! I DIDN'T MEAN TO BUMP INTO YOU! HONEST!!!"
The Blue radish continued running and crying until he smashed into Naruto.
"Ow! Watch where youre going little guy!"
The blue,armless radish with tall grass for hair slowly looked up and saw the fox. Tears started forming again as his eyes widened in fear. The radish began walking backwards while squeaking out
"...a vulpix, it had to be a vulpix. Another fire type. It just cant get any worse!"
All of a sudden, from the same bushes emerged a blood red...dinosaur? The radish sighed and said,
"It just got worse"
Sasuke, through his radar vision, was shocked at the shape of it. It had a prong on its head, large claws and feet and it was fairly large, about 5 times his size. Ofcourse he didnt see the most odd attachment, luckily Naruto pointed it out, explicitly.
"DUDE! YOUR TAIL IS ON FIRE!!"
The red dino looked at his strangely before saying,
"I hope so, otherwise id be dead!" in a deep gravelly voice
At this the two ex shinobi blanked.
"Let me get this straight...if you are NOT on fire, you'll die."
The crimson overgrown lizard nodded.
"Duh, I'm a Charmeleon. Cm'on, this is common knowledge for any Fire Pokemon. Now enough chit chat and GIVE ME THE FRIKKIN' ODDISH! HE IS DEAD MEAT!"
At this point, the blue radish, now identified as Oddish, started crying again.
Naruto was suddenly reminded of a little boy curled up in an alleyway while a whole gang of adults laughed at the boy and began beating him. Naruto grew angry.
"Why do you want to hurt this poor guy? What did he ever do to you?"
The Charmeleon merelt smirked and laughed saying,
"The little clutz bumbed into me while I was training! I am so close to reaching the evolution stage and this pathetic worm was obviously volunteering to be my punching bag. Besides he is a weakling and therefore a waste of space. The only thing worth doing in this world is gaining more power!"
This struck a chord within Sasuke. He had spent his life believing those very words. It was those words that had ended up being the death of him. Now here was this red dinosaur, picking on the poor defensless weed, simply because he was stronger.
Just as Naruto was about to speak up, he was surprised by Sasuke beating him to the punch.
"Youre wrong! Strength and power is not what life is all about! And even if it was, the way you are going about it is all wrong! You cannot gain true power through looking down on those weaker than you!"
The Charmeleon looked at him and then began to chuckle which soon turned into full blown laughter.
"WAHAHAHAHAHAAA! Ok then, little bat, what is true strength? What is the path to real power, since you appear to know so much."
Sasuke was about to reply, when he realized something very important. He had no idea what true power was. All he knew was what it was not.
" I-I dont know! But I do know that the way you are going about this is all wrong!"
Naruto nodded his head and took his place directly in front of the Oddish and said,
"True power is finding something that you wish to protect with all your being, and doing so! Whether it be a person, a place, or a bond!"
Sasuke was shocked, before he smirked and shook his head. Of course it would be the Dobe who understood this alien concept to him.
The Charmeleon merely glowered and began stalking to wards the three while scraping his claws against each other.
"Interesting, alright. PROVE to me that this is strength! See if you can protect that Oddish from me. This wont take to long. A pathetic Vulpix and a dillusional Zubat are no match for a Charmeleon elite!"
Naruto and Sasuke began looking around trying to find the people with those names.
The Charmeleon sweat dropped.
"...IM TALKING ABOUT YOU TWO! YOU WITH THE TAILS, YOURE A VULPIX RIGHT? FIRE FOX?? AND YOU! WITH THE WINGS! YOURE A ZUBAT! THE LACK OF EYES PROVES IT!"
Naruto grinned at Sasuke
"heyyyyy look! We got a clue! now we know just what the hell we are!"
Sasuke nodded
"Now all we gotta do is find out WHERE the hell we are!"
The Oddish screamed at the top of his small lungs
"FLAMETHROWER!!!! TWELVE O CLOCK!!!"
The fox and the bat turned their head as one and saw a huge stream of fire coming straight at them.
Nartuo rolled to the left whereas Sasuke picked up the Oddish and flew to the right all the while saying,
"Shit! this guy can use jutsus?!?"
Naruto only grinned,
"C'mon Sasuke! This only makes things more interesting! Time to counter with Kage Bunshin no.....shit"
Sasuke flew over to Naruto (while dodging anothe fireball) and dropped the Oddish in the bushes behind them.
"Naruto, what the hell is wrong!?!"
Naruto looked at him sheepishly while he put a paw behind his head.
"heh heh....I dont have hands. No hands, no handseals"
Sasuke groaned exaspertly
"No handseals, not jutsus. God dammit. Kami! Youre really out to get me arent you!"
The red dinosaur landed right between the two before smashing his tail into Naruto (who went flying into a tree and knocked unconcious as a result) and head butting the already in air Zubat who then slammed into the bush with Oddish.
Now Sasuke was mad, as he pulled himself up, the Oddish started yelling at him.
"Just forget about me and get out of here! Run away and live!"
"Run away and cling to life. Live in an unsightly manner and when you have eyes like mine seek me out"
"....no."
The oddish was shocked "Wha-What!?"
"I spent my life running away from things when they became to hard or to dangerous. Not this time"
He burst out of the bushed flying towards the Charmeleon at top speed
'I wasted my life listening to you Itachi, and now, without your eyes I will become the strongest of all'
The Charmeleon was surprised (and a tad bit intimidated) when he saw the Zubat screaming towards him at a speed even he could not register.
Little did Sasuke realize at the time but when he began his charge he tapped a bit into the same cursed power which had landed him there in the first place, the result? The Charmeleon felt as if a great pressure was choking him. Killer Intent is a scary thing.
However, no matter how terrifying he may have seemed, Sasuke was still a small bat ramming into a Prehistoric terror. Needless to say, the attack was not very effective. In fact, it eneded up being worse for the Uchiha because his blow knocked the Charmeleon out of his trance.
Enraged, the Scarlet reptile seized the bat and slowly began chocking the life out of him.
This was the sight that Naruto woke up to.
The Charmeleon was happy to see that these two pokemon were as pathetic as they had intially seemed. He was about to finish off the Zubat when he was suddenly hit with an unbelievably large sense of dread and doom.
He looked behind him only to see the Vulpix had regained conciousness, and some sort of red energy was covering his entire being. For the first time since he had evolved, the Charmeleon truly feared for his life.
Naruto's beady eyes turned blood red
His fur became more dark and rough
His fangs elongated until he finally...he spoke
"SASUKEEEE!!!!!"
What Naruto was unaware of was that when he yelled his best friends name, he had tapped into the neww energy that he would have to master if he was to get by in this world. With the shouting of the last Uchiha's name, Naruto unleashed a rather devastating first move as this new creature.
The Charmeleon's eyes bugged out of his skull as he witnessed the largest fire blast he had ever heard of...coming straight at him.
Sasuke took this opportunity to break free from the stunned dino's grip. He barel flew out of the way before the giant character for fire consumed the Charmeleon entirely.
The Charmeleon began howling in pain as even his most heat resistant skin was burned utterly by this overwhelming power.
The energy around Naruto slowly dissapeared as his features returned to normal. Before Sasuke could even fly over to catch him, Naruto collapsed, unconcious yet again.
Naruto slowly opened his eyes to see not only Sasuke-bat, but the blue radish as well....ugh, radish....he hated vegetables.
"Nehh teme...what happened?"
The Oddish and Zubat exchanged glances (sort of).
"Ummm well you see Vulpix, because of your powerful Fire Blast attack, you kinda..wellll-"
"You killed him Naruto"
Silence, that was there was through the wood region. Not a bird cawed, not a mouse squeaked, not a-
"IM NOT DEAD YOU MORON!!"
Sasuke swung his wing backwards and smacked the Charmeleon with half his face and his arm coverered in leaves.
"OWCH!! Careful! I'm hurt!"
The Oddish glared at the fire lizard. Charmeleon blanked when he realized that he actually looked intimidating.
"And WHOS fault do you suppose that is? hmmm? You were soo eager to show off your 'awesome' power that you thought it would be okay to attack the nearest thing which ticked you off...namely, me! I dont even know why I bothered healing you!"
The Charmeleon had the decency to look embarassed. The Oddish glared at him for a bit longer before he sighed.
"But I understand, you were eager to evolve, and I was a convenient opportunity. As long as you promise not to attack someone weaker than you for sport again, I'll forgive you."
The Charmeleon's head shot up and his one good eye watered a bit before he tore his gaze away from the talking weed and instead focused on the two low level monsters who had bested him.
"Thank you both, I dont understand yet, but I will one day, You both became so much stronger when you were protecting one another. I will find something worth protecting too!"
The Oddish was worried and began to sweat a little when the crimson dinosaur turned his sights towards him.
"Liilte one, you used your own power to heal even after I sought to use mine to destroy you. From hence forth, I will protect YOU to repay this debt."
Before the Oddish could shout out any form of denial, the Charmeleon turned back towards the two friends.
"Vulpix, Zubat, Thank you so much for opening my eyes, I hope we meet again someday."
He was smacked on the head by both Naruto and Sasuke who were shouting
"Those are NOT our names, those things you have said may be what we now are, but inside we are still Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto!"
This caught both the Oddish and the Charmeleons' attention. The little one spoke first.
"You two have actual names?"
"Well yah, dont you?"
Both the Charmeleon and the Oddish shook their heads.
"Didnt your parents ever name you?" Asked Naruto the Vulpix.
The Charmeleon spoke up this time.
"We Pokemon aren't given names. We are simply known for our species type."
Sasuke shook his head and said, "Well that simply wont do. If you are to recreate your own identity, you must have a name."
The Oddish began jumping up and down exclaiming, "OO! OO! can I have a name too?"
Naruto laughed while nodding in the affirmative. The fire fox then put his paw on the Oddish's head and put on a thinking expression before he smiled and said,
"From now on, your name shall be Chibi Moku, Little Wood, or Chimoku for short."
The Oddis- Chimoku grinned at his new title.
Sasuke grunted and then turned to the red dinosaur while saying,
"I guess that leaves me with you"
The Charmeleon's eyes started shinining.
"hmmm ah, that will do. Okay Dino breath, hence forth, you are Gouka, Grand Fire. Ya like that?"
Gouka only grinned in response.
The new four friends laughed together as they had unwittingly just witnessed the birth of a new age.
As Gouka, with Chimoku riding on his head, walked off into the dying day, Naruto and Sasuke remembered his advice. Humans with red and white balls were dangerous. If they wanted to remain free they would have to avoid these "trainers".
"hey Naruto?"
"Yah teme?"
"Why do you think we were turned into these 'pokemon' for?"
Naruto tried to recall the final words the Kyuubi had spoken to him before he was reincarnated, but found that he could only think of a garbled phrase.
"I dont know Sasuke. All I know is that if we stick together and work hard, we will find out eventually."
Sasuke nodded before he took to wing again. Once again he was on a quest for strength, but he had company this time.
The two friends began their journey towards this "Mt. Moon" in hopes that perhaps the sage like pokemon there would help them.
Little did the suspect, that their journey would soon change the fate of another group of friends also making their way to the treacherous pass of the Mountain.
What will happen to our heros? Will they ever see their new friends again? What Will they encounter in the dangerous moon pass?
Find out next time on Naruto, I Choose You!
