Clearing

"Who are we going after next?" Takashi asked.

"Let's check the map and see who's the closest," Kyu answered as he opened the map.

"Hmm, looks like the Nekomata and Houkou are the closest ones to us. Their both living in the same tree, why do you think that is?" Naruto asked.

"I'm not sure, it may have something to do with the Shinikami," Kyu answered.

"Why would it have to do with the Shinikami?" Takashi asked this time.

"We'll you remember the info on the Nekomata,"

"Hai," Naruto and Takashi answered together.

"Since the Shinikami had to save Nibi from death, he could be punishing Nibi through imprisonment and Gobi has to guard Nibi until the Shinikami is satisfied with their punishment," He answered the two.

"That would make since as to why the two are living in the same tree, but why would the Shinikami punish them. I mean come on, he as all of the power and he gets upset that he had to save his pet," Naruto retorted.

"I can answer that question," Takashi interjected. "You see, even though you have power that doesn't mean that you want to save people all the time, and with the Shinikami who wants death so he can get souls. I could understand why he'd be upset at having to save something, even if it was his pet," She finished.

"When you put it that way it makes since," Naruto said.

"Enough talk lets make our way to that giant tree," Kyu said.

Two Weeks Later

"Hay is that the tree up ahead?" Takashi asked.

"Yep that's it, but before we head any further we need to stop and come up with a plan on how to convince these two to join the village," Kyu said coming to a halt.

"Why can't you just do what you did with the Sanbi?" Naruto asked.

"Simple Nibi's lazy, just like all cats. And Gobi, well he's a dog and we've never seen eye to eye," Kyu answered.

"Then there's also the fact that you nearly killed the two of them," Takashi added.

"There's that to, so I'm not sure if the two will come and join or not," Kyu said.

"There's no point in just standing around and talking about it. Lets just ask the two, if they join they join, if they don't they don't," she said while walking toward the tree.

Suddenly there was a deep rumbling in the ground and lightning filled the air.

"WHO DARES TO ENTER MY TERRITORY," Came a booming voice from seemingly every where.

"We have come to ask the Gobi and the Nibi if they will join our village to help conquer all of the nations," Naruto called back.

"WHY WOULD WE WANT TO JOIN A MEASLY HUMAN VILLAGE!?" boomed a different voice, this one had a purr to it.

"Our village is not just a human village, its houses all who are exiled. Be it Hybrid, Vampire, or Demon we open our doors to all," Takashi answered this time around.

"WHY IS THE KYUUBI NO KITSUNE HERE? IS THIS SOME KIND OF JOKE, I WOULD NEVER FALLOW UNDER THE BEAST THAT NEARLY KILLED ME!" boomed the purring voice.

"I WOULDN'T MIND FALLOWING UNDER YOU. I'D BE ABLE TO LEARN SO MUCH MORE AND BECOME STRONGER," Said the other voice.

"YOU WOULD LEAVE ME HEAR?!" yelled the purrish voice.

"IN A HEART BEAT," Just then Gobi appeared in a miniature from of himself.

"Kyuubi," He greeted.

"Houkou," he answered back.

"Can we leave now, we need to get to the other bij-" But before Naruto could finish the Shinikami appeared before the group in all his godly form.

"Gobi, I have not released you from you duty of guarding the Nibi. What do you think your doing?" Asked the Shinikami. But the Gobi was too frightened to answer him. Before the Shinikami could speak Naruto broke in on the conversation.

"Excuse me sir, but this is not Gobi's fault for leaving the Nibi alone. You see we-"

"I know what you three are doing; I've been watching you guys for some time. Don't worry I was just making sure Gobi here new that I'm still in charge. But you've served me long enough you may do what you want. But you Nibi your coming with me, we're going home," And with that the Shinikami disappeared just as suddenly as he came. Every one was stunned at what had happened.

"That was the weirdest thing I've seen in a long time," Takashi said.

"Not the weirdest?" Asked Gobi.

"Nope, the weirdest thing I ever saw was my brother Cloud hanging upside down, tide up, and being paddled by revenues fan girls. And to this day I still don't know how they found out were we we're living," she finished. At the same time the three boys shuddered at the thought of fan girls, the worst fate to befall anyone.

"So now that we have Gobi who's next on the Bijuu list?" Naruto asked.

"You three are going after all of the other Bijuu?" Asked Gobi.

"Yep, and now the only ones left is the Yonbi, Rokubi, Shichibi, and Hachibi," Kyu said.

"I'll tell you now the Hachibi also known as Orochi will not join your village as he would like to rule the world alone. The Shichibi is currently preoccupied, with evading Yami as he stood her up on the date that the two were supposed to go on," Came Gobi's response.

"Wait who's Yami?" Takashi asked.

"She's the Goddess of Chaos," Gobi answered. "And so Shichibi is going to stay in hiding for the rest of his natural life thinking he can out wit her," Gobi finished up.

"So that just leaves the Yonbi, and the Rokubi," Naruto said.

"We should get on our way-" But before Kyu could finish Sephiroth appeared before them.

"ONI-SAN!!" Takashi yelled while giving a flying glomp, but before she could make contact Sephiroth grabbed her by the scruff of her shirt, holding her an arms length away.

"Sephiroth, let me go," she wined.

"No," was his flat response.

"So, why are you here?" Naruto asked. Looking at Kyu, Naruto, and the Gobi.

"I've come to deliver a message from Ka-san, she said 'You three must stop what your doing and return to the village immediately'," Sephiroth finished up. "Now if you'll fallow me I'll transport all of us back to the village via an inter dimensional gate," he continued as he opened the gate.

"Are you going to put her down?" Kyu asked, becoming a little concerned as to why Sephiroth didn't let Takashi glomp him.

"…" Sephiroth then stepped into the gate still holding Takashi at a distance.

"That seemed like a no to me," Said Houkou as he and the other two stepped into the gate. They were instantly back at the village in a clearing with a lot of other people. Naruto noticed that Sephiroth had disappeared with Takashi but what confused him was all of the other people that he saw sanding in the clearing.

"Naruto, Kyu, Houkou. It's a pleasure to see you again and to meet you, Houkou. Now if you will fallow Shu here he will explain what it is that will be going on and he'll show you to you living accommodations," Shu (Shukaku) led Houkou off to were ever he was going to be living.

"Now Naruto, Kyu, the reason you're back is that I started to get info from the three that are in Konoha that they were going to try and track you all down and figure out what your up to. Now I couldn't take any risk in letting our plan being discovered, so I called you all back hear. Since your all back early I can assign your teams for the Chunnin exams that will be partaking in 4 months. (A lot of time passed while they were out gathering the bijous). This will give you all plenty of time to get to know one another and to learn to fight like a team," Amy finished.

"That's nice to hear, but what happened to Takashi? Sephiroth had her by the scruff of her shirt and now he's no were to be seen," Naruto said.

"Oh that, it's really simple Sephiroth took Takashi away to train with her one on one. She'll be back in about two weeks," she responded happily.

"But I thought we were going to get to know our team so we'll be ready for the Chunnin exam?" Kyu asked this time.

"Yes, you two will because Kyu you'll stay as Naruto and Takashi's sensei. But the third person on your team Takashi all ready knows. His name is Toshiro Hitsugaya and he's one of Ichigo's friends. Takashi wont have any problems working as a team with him, but you two will need to get to know him so you two wont have any problems," Amy answered.

"But if Toshiro is Ichigo's friend wouldn't that make him too old to be on a gennin team?" Naruto asked.

"Your right he is too old. But he looks young enough as you can see," After that Toshiro stepped forward from the others.

"Hello, I'm Toshiro it's a pleasure to meet you," he greeted with a small bow.

"Wow he does look like a gennin," Naruto communicated to Kyu. "Yes but don't let that deceive you, he's probably skilled enough to cause me a sweat in my human form," Kyu said back.

"It's nice to meet you to, now Ka-san who else is going with us to the Chunnin exams?" Kyu said.

"That would be Gaara, Hinata, and Shukaku and their sensei is Demyx,"

"Shu but isn't he a bit old?" Naruto asked.

"He was, but I did a time reversal jutsu on his human form so now he looks the same age as you all. You'll recognize him as he looks similar to Gaara but his hair is longer, it's black with red streaks running through it and his eyes are a deep green. Unlike Gaara's who's is a teal green," she summed up.

"Ok who else is going?" Naruto asked.

"The last team is an all boy team Riku, Sora, and Roxas and their sensei is Axel,"

"I thought that there couldn't be an all boys team," Kyu commented.

"Usually there can't but I all ready sent a letter to Konoha saying that our village was lacking in female ninja so we had to make an all boys team. I also explained how I didn't want to hold the three back for a year when they passed the graduation test," she finished.

"Wow you really think of everything," Naruto commented.

"Thanks for the complement now off you go; I want you all training with each other until Takashi gets back. Then you'll continue training until the exams," And that's what all of the teams did, they trained for the rest of the time to the exams. But before that we go back and revisit Team Kyu two weeks into training.

Training Area

"Naruto, Toshiro that's good for now. Lets take a break and then you'll get back to training," Kyu shouted from the side lines. For the last two weeks Toshiro and Naruto had been training hard with each other becoming rivals in who could train the longest (think Naruto and Sasuke before he got the curse mark from Orochimaru). The three had gotten to know each other and they all didn't have a problem with each other.

"Hay, Kyu-sensei do you know when Takashi is getting back from-" Right were Naruto was about to step the ground exploded sending all three flying in different directions. Before they could react their feet had been intertwined in vines hanging them all upside down.

"What's going on?" Toshiro asked.

"No clue," Kyu answered.

"All this time you three have been training, and you couldn't even detect that I was close by," Came a voice.

"Takashi?" Naruto asked.

"Bingo," Takashi said coming out from a dimensional portal.

"I guess I should put you all down now,"

"That would be very nice," Toshiro said.

"Ok," Takashi snapped her fingers and the trio fell to the ground. Naruto and Kyu landed with a thud, while Toshiro had quickly activated his banki form where he has ice dragon wings.

"So have you all missed me?"

"Because of that not so much," Naruto responded.

"Sorry, I wanted to surprise you all,"

"You did a great job on that," Toshiro said. "Say what did your brother train you in for the last 2 weeks?"

"Sephiroth helped to improve my swordsmanship, and so did Cloud,"

"Was that all?" Kyu asked.

"Sesshomaru also helped me to improve my control over any element that I may release from my sword, other than that not much. Some more chakra control exercises here and there," she finished.

"That's pretty cool, so now we should get back to training," Naruto said.

"Fine we won't have a brake, now all of you start fighting each other and work out any flaws that you may find in each other," Kyu demanded, getting back into the part of Sensei.

"Hai," was their unison reply. For the next 3 months and 2 weeks, Takashi, Naruto, and Toshiro all trained together in preparation for the exams.
