Well, it took me a while, but I'm back. A lot of crap and stuff is going on and, yeah. On the plus side i got a crab feast on Sunday and Otacon in about three weks.

Ok, here's a note on the crossovers.I'm gonna tone them down a bit. instead of random encounters that make no sence and don't do anything, I'm going to try to have them make sence with the story, most of the time. Some i just can't not do, you know what I mean.

Anyway, last chapter had Jimmy Kudo/ Conan Eda, gwua...dona? From Case Closed/Detective Conin. The extra team was from Great Teacher Onizuka. The jounin was Onizukka and his students were his little 'gang'

Well, with nothing else to note, i'll start where everyone else starts this chapter. Though only a bit differant. XD

Ok, a quick note, I didn't get a chance to send it to my Beta for spell check and stuff, seeing as it's 1AM and I want this out ASAP.

And I would like to thank William Giles for being my fanboy and follow me where ever I go till I updated this thing. Almost creepy. I think I have a stalker now... Anyway, on with the show!

"Everyone, what's your 20?"

"Three clicks south by southwest of your position."

"A quarter mile downstream Sasuke-kun."

"..."

"Naruto? What's your position. I repeat, what's your position." After a minute of silence a voice crackled over the radio.

"Everywhere." The other three were perplexed untill a 'Bunshin no jutsu!' was heard being yelled out across the forest. followed by various yellings about 'that damn cat'

"Baka" Kakashi heard his two students comment about the third one as he smiled and read his book. Interesting team indeed.

Saroutobi couldn't help but chuckle at his favorite gennin's rantings. Even more so when he imangined Naruto on an assasination mission.

Kakashi, Sakura, and Sasuke could be seen hiding from a pair of missing nin sitting around a camp fire.

"I'm Uzumaki naruto, the future Godamine Hokage and I'm on a mission to kick your ass!" Naruto yelled as he jumped out of a tree.The two nin looked at each other in disbelief as the camera pans up. A few fighting sounds later Naruto is seen laying down dazed with bruises and bumps.

The third smiled and puffed on his pipe as his teammates yelled at the poor blond. Sighing, he pullled out a random paper from a pile to his right. It was the second farthest of five piles of papers. Glancing over the paper, he put it back. As Iruka lectured about the mission ladder, from S class to D class, a particular mission caught his eye. 'Wave huh? Seems simple enough. They would probolly like some of the other ones more, but there's something about this that seems, off. Might be fun. Atleast it will get Naruto out of my hair for a while.'

The Third cleared his throat as the genin and Iruka turned thier attention to him.

"Well, since you guys seem impatient, you can take this one. A mission to the wave escorting someone there." He looked at a random chunnin who poked his head through a pair of doors where Tazuna walked in. He watched the introductions, silently counting down in his head. '3, 2, 1'

"I'm gonna kill you!" Saroutobi watched in amousment as Naruto was held back from beating up the client. After decinding to meet first thing in the morning, the group left as Team 10 entered with another enraged blond. Sighing, he reached for the stack labelled C.

Naruto was tired, yet he couldn't sleep, and he didn't know why. He tried warm milk, he tried ramen, a bath, ramen, and then even more ramen. This was one problem that ramen couldn't solve. Then he had an idea. Maby the Gaurdian wouldn't let him sleep. But if he gave him some ranem, then he could sleep! He knew it Ramen DID solve everything!

The gaurdian sighed at the simple-mindedness of Naruto. More out of fond memories and frustration. Eventually, the blond showed up inside of his mind.

"Oy! What's up with me not sleeping?"

"I'm going to be blunt here, your taijutsu sucks. It is relativity formless and doesn't compliment your fighting style." Naruto stood there confused.

"Compliment?"

"Ok, first a little history. Before the five ninja great ninja countries today, there were four large nations. Fire, Earth, Water, and Air." A screen showed a map with a large amount of brown for Earth along with a red island representing Fire, blue at the poles for Water, and white at random islands for Air. "The ninjas there were referred to as 'benders' and could only do one elament, which depended on your chakra affinity. But eventually everyone with similar affinities converged with one another. Since genetics affect chakra affinity, then the four nations were born. these 'jutsus' were much more difficult to do since it used chakra to move the objects directly and required a specific type of taijutsu to use it.

Earth used the Hunguar type of taijutsu, a style known for it's strong stature and it's rooting to the ground. They stepped, slamming chakra into the ground forcing a chunk of rock up then kicking it using thier great strength. Hungaur bases it's moves from animals. Most notably the tiger, which represents hard power and the crane, which stood for soft power. Eventually the doton jutsus were created, along with other nature based jutsus. These range from the Shodaimines uses of wood, through a bloodline, and some clans, like the Inuzuka's, use of animalistic characteristics."

He continued his lecture. "Next up is fire. The fire benders use the most popular style, Northern Shaolin. It's a very strong dynamic style that uses powerful hand and leg movements. And like fire itself, it is beautiful to look at, but very deadly. Almost all styles used today come from this. It was because of thier connection with fire that caused them to be ferocis in battle. With out help, earth won't move and water flows gently, but fire can easilly rage out of control. These fire benders summoned fire from deep within themselves sent it out in sync with thier breathing from thier feet or hands. Eventually raiton, or lightning jutsus, were founded..

Next if the water style, which is what you've seen already." A clip of Hinata practicing her jyuuken stances is shown. "Water benders use the tyle of Tai Chi. Tai Chi is less about strength and more about alighnment, body structure, breath, and visaulization. In water bending and Tai Chi, softness in breath can be more powerful than hard agression. These water benders used chakra to form the water into streams and whip people with them." A small stream of water is superimposed between Hinata's hands. " But on a larger scale, with ample water, huge tsunamis could be made to wipe out the enamy. This stance and affiliation with water eventually evolved into the strong suiton jutsus we use toay.

Air benders use a style called BaGua, relativly translated means circle water. This stlye is known for moving in a circle, constantly spinning back and forth. Since they're always moving no one can get a solid hold on them. With speed as the key, the constant circular movement builds up tremendous energy and power. These air benders use thier chakra to form a ball of air to attack, defend, or even ride on it. Eventually through the manipulation of the atmosphere around, light and sound were found to be manipulated into genjutsus.

The down side to using the elaments like this were the lack of refinement, especially in the earth style. But this created excellent chakra control and capacity as these moves required a huge amount of chakra. Take one of these benders and teach him the jutsus of today, he would be nearly unstoppable."

Naruto sa there after this long lecture about the four main base fighting styles and thier elaments. But it was still a bit confusing. "So basicly, the taijutsu and ninjutsu styles were directly connected at one point, then seperated as each evolved?" The gaurdian nodded in approval.

"I think that with your speed and desire for...flashyness, you are best suited for BaGua." The gaurdian pulled out a tape and slid it into an opening that appeared into the wall. "This will help you learn the style. The tape has all of the information regarding BaGua and all you ned to do is think about it."

"So I have learned it already?" Naruo asked, hoping to be an expert at it already.

"No, no. Far from it. It is the same thing of giving you a book on it, except you don't have to worry about loosing it. But before you do that I want you to master water walking for your chakra control. Once you got that you will practice all BaGua on water, or what ever the highest level of chakra control you are on is." he was met with a quizical look. "The first level is tree climbing followed by water walking. After this there are numerous exercises such as balancing on the sharp edge of a kunai with out cutting your self. The possabilities are endless with proper chakra control.

"Even flying?" Naruto looked up expectantly. I mean who hasn't wanted to fly? The Gaurdian scratched his head in wonder.

"Uhhh, I guesse it's possable, I think. Very few have tried it and those that do often die."

"Why, couldn't they just fly off of low heights?"

"Yeah, but people do well under pressure. Remember when you were trying to make a bunshin and instead made a hundred?" He was met with a nod. "Well, that's because you knew that failure was not an option, so you searched deep down for evey bit of chakra, even if it could kill you. In the case of these dozen of so flyers in history, it killed them because after flying for even a short time, they got tired and fell, or they just fell. So don't even worry about it.I mean what is the point of flying when numerous techniques exist to make you hover or jump higher, plus there are many arial attacks." Naruto nodded in affirmation. It was just another flashy jutsu. Looked cool but essentially did nothing.

"Ok, so before I let you get to sleep, where's the ramen you made for me?" Naruto looked around rubing the back of his head, as if looking for it.

"Well, you see, uhhh. Well, the smell kept me from meditating and I uhhh, kinda, ate it... hehe" He cocked his head slightly as he smiled, hoping not to beaten to a pulp. Not with out just cause mind you. If anyone kept ramen from him, Naruto would kick thier ass.

Naruto woke up at dawn, feeling as if he still had the lump on his head for eating the gaurdian's ramen, and decided that it was time to train in the ways of the GaBua. Or was it Bae Juan? Bo Derek? What ever it was, he had to learn it, while walking on water. It was going to be hard learning Bong Shong.

"I hate water, is is too wet, and cold, and evil. When I become Hokage, I will destroy all water." Naruto mumbled to himself as he went off to refuel himself. Soaking wet and tired, he attempted to make his way to his favorite restaurant, Ichiraku's ramen. But he was interupted by something loud, and pink.

"You're late again kakashi-sensai!" Naruto froze as he remembered the mission he was supposed to go on. He cursed himself for his memory and bolted to the entrance, forgetting all about his hunger. He barely made it in time to hear his sensei talkgive hius excuse. "Sorry, I had to go buy clothes for a fish." His eye curled up in a smile as Sakura gave him an earful. "Aww, speaking of which, here he is now." He handed a shopping bag to a panting soggy Naruto. " I didn't know what color you liked but I thing that this suits you well. It may not be orange, but it's close." Naruto gratefully opened up the bag. No one had ever been genuinly nice to him. It was always 'fit for an Uzumaki' or 'I know he liked it', all because of the gaurdian. Slowly he pulled it out. His eyes light up. He saw a bold green top of a jumpsuit, the same model has his. Slowly he pulled it out, excitement growing, when he saw what color it was. Bright. Hot. Pink. He was shocked. He'd rather the fake gifts than this. It was then that Sakura started to laugh loudly.

"That's a perfect color for you Naruto! It almost matches my hai-" She froze in horror as it dawned on her what it could mean. Looking over at Sasuke, he smirked at both thier perdicamates. But Kakashi had something for him as well.

"Here ya go! I had this personalized just for you." Sasuke warrily took out the shirt Kakahsi held out for him. It was the same he had on now, but it was bright neon pink. And the Uchia crest? Outlined by flashing LEDs.

"Not in the nine levels of hell would I ever degrade myself to this travesty." He was about to leave the village to start the mission when he was floored by something flat and wooden followed by a loud laugh. He turned around ready to pummel Naruto but instead saw a flustered Sakura with a Yaoi paddle. Judgeing by what he could make of her babling and the looks on the faces of Naruto and Kakashi, it was obvious who smacked him. "So what about you then?" He asked his sensei.

"Easy, this." He held up not his usual orange book, but a pink book with a woman chasing another woman. "The brand new Icha Icha Paradise, Yuri Edition." A 'Ta-da' was heard from somewhere as Kakashi held up his new find.

The five were walking for about an hour, unusually quiet. Sakura had stopped bugging Sasuke twenty minutes ago while Naruto barely made any advances towards Sakura within the first five minutes of thier journey. Kakashi was still sulking over the loss of his new limited edition Yuri book. With a light sigh, he turned the page of the first volume of the Icha-Icha series. It was always the best.

"So, Tazuna-san, what's the wave country like?" Sakura broke the silence.

"Well," he started, his nervousness slowly increasing since they left the safety of the village " It's a nice town with huge potential. Once the Tazuna Bridge, patent pending, is built, then we shall be a huge mecca for trade. Right in the middle of three of the great nations, prosperity is near. Untill it is completed we will be a poor nation, and it is a good breeding grounds for bandits and thugs like Gat-oh watch out for that puddle!" He tried to cover up Gato with a distraction, which failed."Anyway... I have a lovely daughter, the greatest cook I ever met and an onry little grandson. Infact you kinda remind me of him Naruto. Naruto?" The other three turned around to see Naruto stareing at the puddle Tazuna pointed out, looking deep in thought.

"Naruto you baka! Keep up or we're leaving you behind!" Sakura yelled at Naruto.as he eyed the puddle curiously. Slowly he turned and ran to catch up with his teammates, his mind still on the odd puddle. He didn't kow what it was, but something was off. Sakura then noticed somthing amiss with Sasuke and Kakashi. She felt Kakashi's chakra levels rise slightly, as if preparing for a low level jutsu like bunshin or kawarmi. Sasuke also tensed up ready to move fast on a moments notice. But the group of five slowly passed out of sight as Tazuna resumed to talk of his wonderful bridge.

All was quiet for a few minutes before the puddle disiapered in a puff of smoke and two ninjas in gas masks appeared in it's place. Both were identical from the claws to the chain connecting thier arms together. The one on the left spoke first.

"Why didn't you let me take out our target! The were unaware and would be easy. A swift kill on the jounin, the brats wopuld of been nothing, then the client would be dead, 1 2 3!"" The second grabbed the first by the mask and judging by his posture, glared at the first. Listen to me brother. do you even know who that jounin was? It was The Copy-nin Kakashi!"

"Really? Then why didn't we get him? His head would of fetched a massive bounty on the market. To hell with Gato, we'd be-" He was interupted by a punch by his brother.

"You fool! He was trained by Konoha's famous Yellow Flash, and he has the Sharingon. There only two other people who have it, and one was the black haired brat. Face it, we may be the demon brothers, but that guy is as strong, if not stronger, than Zabuza." The two stared at each other, tension thick. But soon, they relaxed and lept ino the forest, blending in the trees.

"and then he said 'That's not a hydroxinator, that's my wife!'" Tazune laughed at his joke as Sakura gave a nervous giggle.

"What an amazing sence of humor you have there Tazuna, where did you learn these wonderful jokes?" Kakashi asked with his 'happy eye' showing. Sasuke scoffed while Naruto yawned, loudly.

"Am I boring you kid?" Tazuna asked with a little resentment in his voice. "I'll let you know that I have all the top jokes that is in wave country and that no one, and I mean no one has any better ones that -"

"Get down!" Kakashi yelled as he pushed Team 7 and thier client to the ground as a giant sword with a hole in the middle flew across the path and imbedded it'self into a tree. Replacing his book with a kunai, he turned to the right to face his foe. "Zabuza, I was wondering when-" He stopped when he saw half of the sword break off, soaked in blood. He turned back to the figure in the forest where a pair of evil red eyes greeted him. "No, it can't be. You, you're dead." He started to shake in fear, even though the figure didn't send out an ounce of killing intent.

"K-kakashi-sensei?" Naruto spoke up, clutching his stomach, "I'm scared, I think it wants to kill."

Kakashi, after forcing it'self to be calm for the sake of his students. "It's ok Naruto. No matter what, I won't let him hurt you, even if it's going to cost me my life." He smiled at the four behind him, calming three of them.

"No sensei, it's something else that scares me more."

"I see" The figure stepped forward, holding his katana over his shoulder. "So it is still alive. That explains why Konoha is still standing today." The figure wore a black samuri's robe with a white stripe lining the chest opening and dark black hair. Slowly Kakashi turned his head as an even more powerful fear took hold. He stared at Naruto who was now on his knees in pain clutching his stomach.

Meanwhile, Naruto's mind was in complete chaos. The Gaurdian was in front of the gate reinforcing the seal as best as he could while the beast inside thrashed about.

"I'M GOING TO KILL THAT BASTARD!!! i'LL RIP HIM LIMB FROM LIMB AND TEAR HIS THROAT OUT. HE WILL PAY FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE EVEN IF IT KILLS THE BRAT AND ME WITH IT!!!" The beast let out a blood curling yell that even made naruto grab his head in pain.

TBC

Yeah, sorry for the uber delay. But between, my keyboard/mouse dying, me getting a 350, the four games I have with it, school, work, a death VERY close to me (essentially why I'm going to school for cooking) and a crap load of procrstination halted me from updating. Ok, I procrastinated first, then in the middle of typing, my mouse died on me, and then the keyboard a few days later.

Well, I'm going to thank Wendy Travazowsky(sp?) and his show, Dexter's Lab for the hilarious joke that Tazuna told.

Anyway, I'll be picking up a new keyboard/mouse tommorrow, I'll hope to update soon, maby, and the Ravens had a very close but exciting win against the Titans today. The Steelers won too. Hey, even a crappy team deserves three wins in a season.. (My dad's a Steeler's fan)

As long as you don't flame me for making you wait or about my crappy spelling, reveiw away!
