RANMA-NARUTO XOVER

I don't own Naruto or Ranma 1/2

CHAPTER 2

The Sandaime Hokage had a smile on his face as he returned to the Hokage Tower after the incident at the academy. He knew Naruto and his small list of friends won't be able to focus on anything except for the blond boy's return so he had ordered both Naruto and Iruka to take Hinata home to rest, giving them a day off. He even subtly mentioned to pass by Ichiraku on their way just so they could include Ayame and Teuchi for a small reunion party.

He entered his office and had just closed the door when he felt a foreign presence inside his office. Turning around, he saw a young woman with pageboy-cut brown hair, wearing some formal civilian business suit sitting on his chair reading a familiar top secret files on Uzumaki Naruto's history.

Before the Sandaime could question her identity, she put the files down and turned to him with calculating eyes and said in a cool and emotionless voice, "Good morning, Sarutobi-san. Please take a seat. We have a lot to discuss."

The Sandaime stared at the woman intently, sizing her up if she was a threat or not. He sensed that her chakra was minimal and merely genin level but her entire posture was too cold, too calculating to get any solid conclusion. Taking a risk, he sat down on an empty chair across from his desk and said, "Good morning as well, Miss. . ."

"My name is Tendo Nabiki, Sandaime-sama." She said with a good dose of respect before going back to her formal, cold, emotionless, and business-like self.

"If you know who I am, then you also know what my title represents?" He said, pouring a bit of his enormous chakra out in the open to tell her that he didn't just given the title of Hokage by being old. No. He had earned it by being the strongest of the Leaf in his prime.

But the woman was clearly not intimidated. The only change seen in her posture was a tiny raise of one eyebrow. "Yes, I do. But titles, not even as prestigious as yours, have any meaning to what we are to discuss."

"Then please tell me what it is you wish to discuss."

"The continuous healthy welfare of one Uzumaki Naruto."

That had got the Sandaime's attention in a flash. He stopped his intimidation tactics and said, more of a statement than a question, "So, you are with the people that took Naruto during his absence here. Then tell me, why did you not arrived with him?"

"To answer your questions, yes, we took him in when he arrived with my brother in law. The reason we are not with him will be classified for the time being. And if I had any say in the matter, he wouldn't have set foot back in this village ever again. But such decisions are not mine to make." The Sandaime admits that this was no ordinary girl. She seems to have played this political game all her life to have such a perfect poker face like that. Not a single detail of change was seen on her but the Sandaime had felt the sudden drop of temperature in the room, telling him that this girl was harboring a great hatred for the village. To hide her emotions from his critical eye was a feat on its own. She would be a devastating opponent in a political debate.

"Naruto had told you of his childhood?" He asked solemnly.

"He didn't need to. His emotional and mental state, when he first came to us, were enough for us to draw our own conclusion. When we finally managed to get a clear scope of his psychological damage entirely, the findings almost caused the demise of this village. If my spies hadn't come across the files on the Crimson Dolphin, then the most powerful of us would have decimated everyone here."

"You assume that Konoha would lose, Tendo-san. We are a village of shinobi, trained since childhood to fight and quite ready to die in battle."

"I assume nothing, Sandaime-sama. I'm sure Naruto told you the story of the Pheonix King, Saffron."

At this, the Sandaime narrowed his eyes. Naruto had told him how his Ranma-nii-chan had defeated a powerful fighter named Saffron, who has the power to destroy an entire mountain with a single strike. But the Sandaime wasn't inclined to believe such a tale like that.

But the girl in front of him seems to believe such a story had actually happened for real. And if such powers do exists, then Konoha is doomed. "Are you saying that this man, Ranma, who happens to have a water-based gender curse, was able to defeat a being of such power he was considered a god?"

"Saffron was a demi-god, not a pureblooded god. Ranma was barely seventeen when he defeated him in a battle. How much stronger do you think he had become two years later? Not only that, imagine several other people, friends and rivals alike, who had spent their entire lives training to either defeat or keep up with him fighting alongside him. I don't think Konoha will survive if a battle occurs."

The Sandaime may look calm on the outside but inside he was squirming just thinking of fighting such powerful people. He doesn't know if the woman sitting in front of him was bluffing, but he knows he couldn't risk such a thing happening to Konoha. As Hokage, the safety of the village comes first, even before his personal pride. "Very well, you wish to make a deal. As long as it doesn't affect the security of my village, I shall grant it."

"Oh, it's not much a deal as it is a warning." Nabiki said, allowing a small smirk adjourn her face. She knew she had won and could ask for much more than she originally intended but she knew Naruto holds the Sandaime Hokage in high regards so she didn't give in to her greed. Instead, she said, "In the following months, several people from my world would be arriving here in your world, particularly here in Konohagakure."

"May I ask what is the purpose of their arrival?"

"Most of them would be drawn here because of Naruto. Let's just say there's a lot of people in my world that have a certain interest in him. Others would be travelling here for their vacation, while the rest might possibly even migrate here."

"I see. Are those people that would be arriving pose a threat to this village?"

"Just as much as a threat as anyone of your own shinobi." She vaguely answered. "Most of them would be powerful fighters, that I assure you. Whether they become a threat to your village is up to you and the people of Konoha. I would be sending someone to make sure that the more impulsive members of the group stays out of trouble."

"So, you want diplomatic immunity for them?"

"Not quite. If they break the law, then you have the right to punish them for it. But you are the only one permitted to do so. I'm sure you would be fair in handling it."

"What makes you so sure of that? And what makes you so sure your people would just obey me?"

"Oh, they'll listen to you, if they don't want their ass drag all the way back to our world to receive an even more brutal punishment. Every one of them would be told that it would be up to you, to either let them stay or get thrown out of Konoha. Naruto seems to hold you in high regard, and you do have vast experience in handling subordinates that are trained since birth to be assassins of the highest caliber."

The Sandaime thought about the entire deal for a moment. He turned to look at the Hokage Monument outside while stroking his goatee. The only problem he could foresee would be from the council and the civilians. But then again, he is the Hokage and he have complete command of all shinobi in the village. And if some of those other wordly people come to migrate here, Konoha would have an extra weapon to protect them. His mind made up, he turned back to the woman and was shocked to see another person in the room.

This new person was a woman beautiful woman in a pink kimono with flowery designs. She has long black hair tied in a high ponytail. He could see that she was wearing ninja garb under her kimono if the net shirt on her neck and the metal arm bracers on her arms are any indication.

"Thank you, Konatsu-san." Nabiki said as the new girl, Konatsu, finished pouring hot tea on the cup she was holding. Nabiki turned towards him and said, "I do hope you enjoy your tea, Sandaime-sama. Konatsu-san is quite good at making them."

It was just then that the Sandaime saw the cup of steaming tea in front of him. How did this Konatsu person managed to sneak inside the office without him noticing? He tried to sense how powerful she is but he felt absolutely no chakra from her, which was impossible since every living thing should have chakra to stay alive. To hide in such a degree is extremely difficult and requires a minimum of Sannin-level skills.

Picking up his cup, he used a small amount of detection chakra to see if there was any poison in the tea. Finding none, he sipped a bit and found it quite delicious compared to everything he have tasted before. "This is quite good, Konatsu-san."

"Thank you, Hokage-sama." The girl said with a slight bow and a smile.

"Tell me, how did you managed to sneak inside my office just now?" he asked calmly without a hint of threat. He was just genuinely curious.

"Oh, I have been in here since yesterday, Hokage-sama. I was ordered to prepare for Nabiki-dono's arrival." Konatsu said with a warm smile.

It was then that Nabiki decided to intervene. "Konatsu-san is the best ninja of our group and also Naruto's primary teacher in ninjutsu. She doesn't have what you people call chakra so it was possible for her to hide her presence from you. She would be our official representative here in Konoha and would be in charge of handling the newcomers since she is already well versed on your laws and culture here."

"Can you describe for me those people that would be arriving?"

"Konatsu-san would provide you with the general profiles of everyone that would be arriving. And also, since Konatsu would be migrating here in the future, it would be in the best interest of both parties to make her an official liaison officer between our worlds."

"Can I safely assume that Konatsu-san here is one of the spies you have told me about?"

"Yes and no." Nabiki said, gracing the Sandaime with a small smirk. "Konatsu-san is the only spy sent here on Konoha since she alone was enough to get the job done."

"I see." The old man said. Then he asked, "Do you know of the creature that resides in him?"

"If you are talking about the Kyuubi no Kitsune, then yes. But I wouldn't worry about it much since it isn't anything we haven't handled before. He may not have complete control of it yet but he's getting there."

"What do you mean?" The Hokage asked urgently.

"It means that Naruto is learning how to control his fox persona. As of the moment, he could use one-ninth of the fox's power without reverting to his berserker mode. Konatsu will provide you with information on his general progress. If you want to know more, you would just have to ask Naruto personally." Nabiki said, dismissing the topic of the fox altogether, which the Sandaime caught on.

"Very well." The Sandaime said, "Those arriving would get the same treatment as any of my shinobi provided none of them jeopardize my village's safety and they follow the rules I will provide them with."

"Agreed, provided these rules would be subjected to my approval to prevent conflicts."

"Agreed. In the case this village would find itself in danger, they would provide assistance in defending it."

"Agreed, provided the village is not the one to start the hostilities."

"Agreed."

With a simultaneous nod from both Nabiki and the Sandaime, the deal was done.

Suddenly, the door to the closet suddenly burst open and a young man walked in saying in an aggravated tone, "Where the hell am I now?"

"Ah, Ryoga, just in time." Nabiki said to the yellow-and-black tiger-stripped bandanna wearing man, who blinked at them a couple of times.

"Ohayo, Ryoga-dono." Konatsu said politely to the newcomer.

"Oh, hey there, Konatsu. Haven't seen you in a while." The man said casually before turning towards the other girl. "Hey Nabiki. Are you done yet?"

"Just finished, Hibiki." Nabiki said as she stood up and walked towards the young man, who nodded at her and started to lead the way towards the office doors followed by the girl. But before they left, Nabiki glanced at the Sandaime saying, "Goodbye, Hokage-sama and thank you for your time. It would be a while before we see each other again. I trust you would provide Konatsu's needs until my family arrives to establish their place here in the village?"

The Sandaime nodded and said, "Of coarse, Tendo-san."

Nabiki nodded at him before turning to Konatsu and saying, "Take care of yourself, Konatsu. And try to keep Naruto out of trouble."

"Of coarse, Nabiki-dono. We both know how much he takes after Ranma-dono when it comes to attracting chaos." Konatsu said with a teasing smile, earning a snort from the two other Nerima-residents in the room.

Ryoga opened the door, but instead of the hallway, the Sandaime saw a dojo on the other side. Nabiki walked out first followed by the young man, who closed it after him. A millisecond later, the door burst open once more and three ANBU entered the office all battle ready.

"Hokage-sama! Are you alright? Your secretary had said someone had put a locking seal on your office door barring every one out." One of them said before noticing the calm Konatsu standing beside the old man. Thinking she was an enemy, they went into their battle stances.

"Stand down. Everything is fine. Konatsu-san here is a representative of a foreign village that wishes an alliance with us. You are ordered to treat her like any friendly dignitaries to our village. And please inform my secretary to set up a meeting with the shinobi representatives in all levels in three days, that is all." Seeing them suitably calmed down before they left, the Sandaime then turned towards Konatsu and said, "Would you mind pouring me another one of your marvelous tea?"

Konatsu merely smiled at him and said, "Not at all, Sandaime-sama."

The first thing that Hinata saw when she woke up was a pair of concerned brown eyes of one Ichiraku Ayame, who smiled immediately after seeing her awake.

"Oh, Hinata-chan. I'm glad you're finally awake. Now you don't have to miss the party." Ayame said, a smile on her face.

"Party?" Hinata asked groggily as she tried to sit up from the couch she was laying on. Looking around, she saw herself in the familiar living room of the Ichiraku house. She was just about to ask how she got here when the memories of the events that happened this morning came rushing back to her: meeting a cute fox on the way out of the apartment, the Hokage Monument vandalized, turned away from the Hokage Tower, and seeing Iruka-sensei fall out of the third story window crying Naruto's name. Naruto!

She immediately turned to Ayame and asked in a hopeful voice, "D-did it r-really happened? Is, is Naruto-kun r-really . . .?"

Knowing what the stuttering Hyuuga was going to ask, Ayame gave the younger girl a huge smile and said, "Yup! He's at the front store with the others."

Hinata almost teleported herself through the house to get to the ramen store up front, which was connected to the house, followed by a smiling Ayame. She could already hear his loud and a bit angry voice from behind the door shouting, "Get back here you little furball!"

When she opened the door, she squealed startled when a little fox, with a rice ball held on its mouth, ran between her legs as if being chased by someone. And that someone just happens to be Naruto himself, who was too surprised to see her that he wasn't able to stop fast enough to avoid collision with her.

Ayame, Teuchi, and Iruka winced when both teens tumbled down the floor in a heap. They were just about to help them and ask if they were alright when they stopped upon seeing the discriminating position they ended up with.

Trying to take the impact for the both of them, Naruto had wrapped his arms around her waist so he could turn both of them around but Hinata herself reacted as well and tried to grab onto his shoulders. But when Naruto turned their body around so his back would hit the floor first, her hands slipped and ended up wrapped around his head, his face getting buried between her slightly developed breasts.

Both teens were breathing hard from the sudden rush. When both of them finally realized their some what awkward positions, both of them had stood up so fast that it would have put the Hiraishin to shame.

Ayame squealed in awe at the two blushing teens while Iruka and Teuchi both snorted with a teasing grin on their faces.

"AWE! That is so cute!" Ayame squealed once more, causing both younger teens to blush like mad.

Luckily for them, Iruka decided to be merciful and said, "I think we should go and start the feat. The food is getting cold."

Hinata and Naruto gave him appreciative looks before sitting down by the table along with the others. The little fox, who was the cause of the incident earlier, jumped up to Hinata's arms and hid itself inside her baggy jacket, where it found itself quite safe from Naruto's earlier irk.

"You'll get yours later, you mangy furball." Naruto grumbled at the little fox as he glared at it. The fox just gave him a somewhat smug response.

"So, Naruto-kun, what's the little girl's name?" Ayame asked as she scratches the fox behind the ear, earning her a purr from the little fox.

"Fuzzball." Naruto answered immediately, with a wicked smirk directed at the fox, who gave him a growl.

Ayame gave him a stern look and said, "Naruto-kun, that's not very nice."

"Fine. Fine. Her name's Naomi. She wouldn't let me name her anything else."

"N-Naomi is a v-very cute n-name." Hinata said, finally having enough courage to enter the conversation.

"I agree." Ayame said, nodding her head.

Even the fox seems to agree since it nodded her head before giving Naruto the fox-equivalent of a smug look.

Naruto bristled at that look but decided to change the subject by saying, "Anyway, I'm hungry. Let's eat!"

And as soon as Naruto's hand touched his chopsticks, ramen started to disappear from the table at an alarming rate. With the time it took Iruka to blink, four bowls of ramen have been devoured by the blond boy.

"Naruto, would you slow down!" Iruka said after a moment.

Naruto at least had the decency to blush before settling in a more subdued phase of eating. "Sorry about that. But where I've stayed at, you had to be pretty fast at eating and defending the food on your plate or else you only get leftovers."

"You mean they starve you there?" Iruka asked in rage, every else was giving him their entire attention.

"Only when either Kasumi-nee-chan or Nodoka-kaa-san weren't around. It's for speed training. And I've gotten quite good at it too."

"How good?" Ayame asked.

Naruto gave her a grin and pointed his chopsticks at Iruka's bowl, which is now empty of its contents. The look on Iruka's face had earned a round of laughter around the table.

After finishing his 50th bowl, Naruto patted his now oversized and full belly before sighing in contentment. "Damn! Ichiraku's is still the best ramen this side of the world!" He said, earning a proud grunt from Teuchi. But what he said next had crushed his former praise to dust. "It's almost as good as the one the old mummy makes."

"BLASPHEMY! NO ONE CAN RIVAL ICHIRAKU'S RAMEN!" Teuchi shouted in indignation, defending his lifetime achievement of making the best ramen in the world. He was just about to throttle this ungrateful blond boy to death but what the blond boy said next stopped him dead in his tracks.

"Tell that to the Chinese Amazons. They had this entire book of martial arts technique for cooking this stuff."

"Amazons?" Teuchi asked in a suddenly serious tone, earning some raised eyebrows, particularly from Ayame.

"Yup. From Juzetsuzuko. Most of my best techniques I learn came from them, but they're a real pain in the ass to deal with, especially when they go on about their laws." Naruto shivered a bit after saying that, reminding himself of that one particular Amazon that usually caused quite a lot of problem for him. "I'm just glad I'd be free of them for a few months before they can track me down again."

"So, the Amazons would be coming here?" Teuchi asked again, more seriously this time. He turned a glanced at his daughter before turning back to Naruto to hear his answer. The movement earned him another raised of eyebrows from the rest of them, except for Naruto, who didn't notice the seriousness of his voice.

"Them and everyone else in Nerima. They promised me they'll let me settle in first before they come." He said with relief in his voice.

"I see." Teuchi said before going silent. He saw his daughter about to question him but he shook his head meaning he would talk about it with her later. Ayame conceded but promised herself to ask as soon as the opportunity presents itself.

Since that particular topic of discussion was done for the moment, Iruka decided to say, "Well, anyway, Naruto, tell us about this Nerima, it is where you've been to this last few years, right?"

"It was home." Naruto said softly with a wistful smile, earning him the raft attention of everyone in the restaurant. The next two hours was spent with Naruto retelling his tale about Nerima and his experiences in general, being interrupted from time to time so he could explain several things in detail. It was more edited version that he told to the Sandaime. It wouldn't do if his precious people suddenly sends him to a psychiatric ward for being mentally unstable. Besides, unless they see a full pledge Nerimian martial arts battle, they would not believe it.

Akimichi Chouji was afraid. Why is he afraid you ask? It is because one of his childhood friends, Yamanaka Ino, was quiet. And having 'Ino' and 'quiet' in the same sentence could only mean trouble, for him and Shikamaru that is.

"Shikamaru . . ." Chouji whispered fearfully at his bestfriend, who was sitting next to Ino.

"I know. I'm scared too." Shika whispered back, being careful not to let the girl hear them. "As soon as class is over, run like hell."

Chouji could only nod in agreement. He wouldn't want to be anywhere near the girl once she decides to end the silence. They tensed instantly when they saw Mizuki-sensei was about to end the class. They were already inching towards the doors and would just need one good burst of speed to escape.

"NOW!" Shikamaru hissed as he bolted for the door along with his friend towards safety.

THUD! THUD!

At least that was the plan. It's quite difficult to run when someone got a hold of your ankle.

"Owwie!" Chouji whined with his face on the floor.

"Troublesome girl." Shikamaru added painfully.

"Guys, I need your help." Ino said, which is Ino's way of saying: You two are going to assist me in this self-proclaimed mission whether you like it or not. "Please." She said in a voice that sent shivers down both boys' spines.

The last time she used 'Please' and they didn't comply, Chouji was hospitalized for not being able to eat anything for three days while Shikamaru didn't manage to sleep for a week due to nightmares.

"Okay! Okay! Just don't hurt me! Please!" Chouji said fearfully on his knees in front of the scary girl.

"Fine. What heinous crimes are going to commit now?" Shikamaru said trying not to show any fear, and failing miserably.

Ino turned towards someone and said, "That girl with the pink hair, I know I've seen her somewhere before. I want you two to keep taps on her and gather any information you can. If either of you get caught or killed, I will deny any involvement of your actions." She said in her most official tone before turning back on the two. "Do I make . . .myself . . . clear . . . Hey!" only to realize that they were both gone. When she turned back to the girl, she bristled when she saw both of them talking to the pink haired girl.

"So, let me see if I got my facts straight, you're name is Haruno Sakura. You used to live right here in Konohagakure but you left six years ago for your apprenticeship. You came back for the Gennin Exam and that you are planning to finish your apprenticeship once you took the Chuunin Exams, right?" Shikamaru asked a bit lazily.

"Um, yeah. That's right." Sakura answered cautiously after a few moments of QandA.

"So, have you ever met an aggressive, bossy, and sometimes frighteningly scary blond haired girl with blue eyes that likes flowers?" Chouji asked immediately, earning a large sweatdrop from the said pink haired girl.

"Um, I think I remember someone like that." Sakura said, taking an involuntary step back from the two boys.

"Great!" Both boys exclaimed before disappearing, only to reappear a few seconds later with a familiar looking blond haired girl in between them.

"Ino, this is Sakura. Sakura, this is Ino." Chouji said immediately.

"Yes. Enjoy." Shikamaru said to both girls before both boys started running out of the room like their lives depended on it.

Both girls blink at the cloud of dust that accumulated by their hazy retreat, both thinking, 'What the fck was that all about?'

Both girls turned towards each other looking a bit nervous, which isn't that strange since the two boys just left them right there like they were supposed to know what to do next.

"So, um, I'm Sakura." She said.

"Ino." She said shyly.

Sakura gave the girl in front of her a few inconspicuous observations. She noticed that the blond girl seems to be fidgeting every once in a while, particularly everytime she looks at her. She seems to be trying to say something but words wouldn't come out of her mouth. Being an apprentice for a medic nin, Sakura had a few lessons concerning human behavior. She gathered all the symptoms the other girl was doing and arrived at a conclusion.

"OH!" Sakura exclaimed suddenly, as well as turning several shades of red.

"What?" Ino asked nervously.

"Ah, um, I-I'm flattered, really. But, um, I'm straight." Sakura said apologetically at the other girl. "I'm sure you'll find somebody else, preferably a boy, not that I think there's anything wrong if you found another girl first. But it's just not my cup of tea."

Ino was gaping the moment the other girl's word finally sinked in. A moment later, after turning several shades of red herself, she shouted, "I AM NOT LIKE THAT!"

Suddenly, the entire room was put in silence, everyone staring at the fuming/blushing blond girl and the blushing yet confused looking pink haired girl.

"Oh." Was all Sakura could say, earning herself a blush of her own.

But Ino's anger wouldn't diminish with just a simple apology. It's just not in her nature to let someone have the last say on things. "And if I ever became like that, I'm not saying that I am, I have better taste than someone with a deformed forehead!"

"Excuse me? What do you mean by that? My forehead is not like that!" Sakura screeched.

"Sure. Keep telling yourself that." Ino said with an evil smirk.

The pink haired girl bristles at that. Taking a deep breath, she glared at the other girl before saying, "At least my parents weren't demented enough to name me pig when I was born. Or maybe they named you pig because they knew you'd end up with an attitude like that!"

"What did you say!" Ino said through clenched teeth, bringing her face close to the girl.

"What, you have a hearing problem as well?" Sakura asked just as viciously, pushing her forehead against the other girl.

"Forehead!"

"Pig!"

"FOREHEAD GIRL!"

"INO-PIG!"

Both girls suddenly gasped. They backed away and pointed a finger at each other shouting a shocked, "YOU!"

There was a tense silence as several witnesses await what could very well become one of the most vicious cat-fight in history.

"INO-PIG!"

"FOREHEAD GIRL!"

Both girl squealed in delight before giving each other an excited hug. They squealed several more times before backing away and giving each other a very huge smile.

"Where the heck have you been, Forehead Girl? I haven't seen you in, like, six years?" Ino asked excitedly to her long lost best friend.

"I had an apprenticeship to be a medic nin. I wouldn't have mind studying here but my teacher doesn't like staying in Konoha for some reason." Sakura said happily.

"That's cool! You gotta tell me all about your travels!"

"As long as you tell me everything I missed when I was away."

Both girls left the room chatting happily, leaving several confused witnesses. Two particular boys, who had been hiding behind the corner, came out of hiding blinking at the two girls' back.

"Shikamaru, what happened?" Chouji asked softly. "I'm scared."

"I don't know." The other boy said, trying to hide his own fear, and failing miserably. "But something tells me we should stay away from those two. Far, far away."

"Agreed."
