Chapter 10- sorry for the wait.
As Naruto, Kakashi, Hinata, Jiraiya, and Lee walked onto the gray, shadowed loading dock of Nar Shardar. Unblinking eyes stared out at them from dark corners, and even from the dim ceiling. There were many interesting things that Shino would not go see, preferring instead to study his new specimen.
Kakashi was just amazed at all the strange and wonderful goods coming and going before his eyes. He had studied the ship they were currently living on and had to admit that it was definitely a combat model- not one of those civilian models. The big, blocky style of the civilian ships gathered around the dock were useful only as transport. He pulled out his book and began reading while using the 360 degree vision his helmet offered. He was really liking the high-tech helmet so far.
Lee was ecstatic that he was on a different planet. "How youthful!" he thought. As he watched the ships move in and out of the docks area, he was mesmerized. "Gai-sensei, I will learn how to pilot those most youthful ships." he thought, then he looked towards his eternal rival Naruto. "Naruto, my most youthful rival. Would you please teach me how to pilot those ships?" He was grinning under his helmet at the very thought.
His rival looked at him and said with a slight questioning tone "Sure I will, but why do you want to?"
Lee responded "To show the universe the power of youth!" he exclaimed, but a little quieter then usual so as to not draw too much attention to their party. He had continued to scan their surroundings in wonder while talking to Naruto. His eyes widened when he saw a sign 'Hand to hand combat. Tournament prize offered to winner.' He quickly turned to his friends, wordlessly (for once!) grabbed all of them, and hustled them off to the tournament.
Jiraiya had seen some beautiful alien girls and was about to introduce himself to the lovelies when that green spandex idiot grabbed him and ran off to a fighting tournament. "Well at least there might be catfights." he thought to himself.
Hinata was taking in all the sights and was amazed when Lee grabbed her arm she let out an 'Eep' while being dragged to a fighting tournament. She was really scared that she might get hurt or even her teammates.
Back on the ship, Shino was carefully studying the bug he had caught. He had determined that it was an amazing tracker. It would follow a scent for days judging by it's olfactory senses [he used an x-ray type of device]. He was overjoyed at the discovery and immediately started to breed it to his bugs. It would take a few days to see the results, but he was very excited about the possibilities. He had a notepad ready and lots of time to burn. Of course, Naruto's dog-like thing Hunt really liked having someone stay with him in the ship.
Back on planet, Lee had just ran up to the fight promoted. It was a Bothan. Lee was surprised to see an alien, but after giving it a quick up and down appraising look, introduced himself in his usual manner. "I am the glorious Rock Lee. The green beast of Konoha has come with my youthful friends to fight in your most youthful tournament!"
Naruto just let out a groan while shaking his head minutely. They were going to make a lot of enemies! Well, maybe not Kakashi, Shino or Hinata, but the others- well that was a different story. While he was signing up, a call lit the inside of his helmet- it was his dad. He put his hand to his helmet and answered. "Naruto, make sure you stop at Kashyyyk. Soon we will meet up and meet the new recruits." They spoke a little more, Naruto catching Fett up on their travels so far. Naruto ended the call just as Lee made his way into the pit for his first fight.
