Author's note: First of all I have forgotten to mention though it should be obvious... I do not own naruto or pokemon... as for the pokemon they will be showing up within three chapters... how it happens I will leave you to guess. Second I wanted my character to be old enough to take care of themselves if needed but young enough to not be considered an adult where I'm from which is the United States, I thought sixteen would be a good age so I stuck with it despite having misunderstood the difference between age of consent and age of majority (never had need to know it) and seeing as I have a headache just thinking about it we are just gonna go with 16 being technically an adult in this story.

Chapter 3 – one eyed watchdog

POV: Dustin

"Explain to me again why you are here? And how you can possibly be considered a good guard when you just read the whole time?" This fucking guy is about as annoying as can be. He waltzed, introduced himself as my guard and has just been sitting their reading and giggling randomly ever since! If I could get up I'd kick him right where it hurts.

"You seem to be quite energetic for someone who has severe damage to six chakra systems. Most of us only have one and end up in the hospital with that kind of damage so you just relax I've got an eye open none of the big scary ninjas are gonna get near you." That answers nothing as per usual, he never does. When I first woke up a week ago everything hurt and apparently so did all of my inner personalities but they were fine now and Jacob was restaked even worse than before. After his vitals were taken a Yamanaka had come in and fixed his broken knowledge of the language by essentially implanting the language into his brain and for hours the system of government was explained to him and the plan Issac had come up with was explained. "Kakashi San... there are many things I do not know about how this place has changed me or how this... chakra... works. I agree with Yamanaka San that having the knowledge implanted would not give me the understanding needed. We need to fix this. I may not be able to practice right now... but I can at least read."

If they won't give me anything else to do I can at least study right? That's what I was thinking when I said that but apparently Kakashi had other ideas. "Now now we can start that later for now we have a guest!" He seemed so happy at that it annoyed the crap out of me but all that flew out the window when a medic opened the door but I only had eyes for one thing at that moment and he was flying at me in just as much of a hurry as I was trying to get out of the bed to get to him. Of course this being me there was no heartfelt moment where the lovable ball of fur known as Duke jumped into my arms and all was right in the world. I fell flat on my face due to pain and exhaustion and he simply ran onto my back and started licking the back of my head wiggling the whole time waiting for the inevitable wrestling that usually came after any amount of separation.

This might seem funny if it had happened to anyone else but all I could think was how much it hurt. Duke is not a small dog but neither is he large. He is only taller than my knee by his head but he is built like a pit bull despite being a complete mutt. As I rolled over the medic started blurting out apologies and went to pull Duke away and then the oddest thing I have ever seen happened... Duke bit him... I chose him for how well behaved and gentle he was, him seeming to add energy to rituals was a bonus... this doesn't happen... Duke doesn't bite... But I'm not hallucinating and oh my god there's blood and how do I fix this!? I didn't even apologize as the medic threw a scroll at Kakashi and barreled out the door I just gaped like a fish in my shock at Duke as his hackles slowly smoothed back down until Kakashi finally spoke. "Well let's hope none of your other presents manage to pull off any surprise attacks."

Three days later – Hokage's office

POV: Kakashi

"It would seem Ibiki was right he acts much different if he doesn't know I'm here. As instructed over the three I have steadily returned all his things to him and other than the scroll found next to him it all seems harmless. Though he swears in his world the slim flat device's main function was communication it seems to have what seems to have what I think is supposed to be music on it and is capable of reproducing the sound as long as it is charged. The thicker folding device seems to hold games involving the capture and battling of strange creatures and he seems to play one of them every time he is visited by a medic or my clone. Likely due to stress, ever since he got them and his dog was allowed in the room his building panic has dwindled considerably!" I say this with a smile but I don't know why I'm guarding a guy who acts like such a kid. Ibiki and Inoichi have both found him to be harmless so long as certain memories and whatever that scroll was he didn't even seem to recognize it just the writing on it and he just casually set it aside after scanning it like it wasn't important right now. Even with the academy level texts he was given he read them and seemed to shrug it all off like it was no big deal. Clearly he doesn't care enough to be a ninja much less a threat to a village full of them I should be out dealing with actual threats.

"And what of the scroll?" The Hokage seems to be fixated on that but I guess I can understand that at least. If that scroll is a powerful enough jutsu or summons it could be a threat but it is unlikely he can use it despite it seeming to be in his language so it is likely they can't, best to be safe anyway.

"No one has managed to figure out any more about the scroll while he sleeps and he seems to be genuinely unaware of its purpose as well. Perhaps it has something to do with the being that brought him here?" If that is true I can only pray it isn't a summoning scroll. The last thing we need is someone who is getting warier of literally everyone in the village being able to summon gods from another world. Although he does seem to be warming up to me for some reason...

"How is he reacting to others, and are the others still taking over in the presence of others?" He seems worried about this one despite the fact that unlike a jinchuriki the other people inside him are just that, people, one of them has shown himself to be very violent although using what is apparently his chakra core just to break out of his mental seal was enough to push the physical body to near unconsciousness. If he was to manage complete control and managed to gain strength it would be bad for everybody. Due to all of this I can understand the look in his eyes right now as he watches me pipe forgotten, determined yet cautious. That young man's life depends on my answer but honesty is the best policy.

"He seems guarded around others if they seem formal but if they act like everything is normal he tends to goof off. He makes fun of my clone often for the book and one other seems to show up consistently the others do not exception of the rare showing of Issac to study the reading materials himself afterwards he seems to explain them mentally to Dustin. I believe the other showing up is called David. He seems to be social but odd and tries to creep out the medics among other things." I was hoping to avoid discussing this but based on that raised eyebrow I figure I should explain. "David appears to be homosexual Hokage Sama and he seems to have an attraction to me if the flirting is anything to go by, or he is just trying to creep me out I am not sure." At this point I can see one of the Anbu in the corner tighten his muscles a bit, unnoticeable to most but I have been around them too long to not notice. He is trying not to laugh and honestly I can't blame him. When Dustin is relaxed even he can be amusing in a way similar to David even if he does tend to rant about his latest achievements in the games or beg me to show him a jutsu. Even the Hokage is smiling at this point and nods to himself as if something has been confirmed.

"I see, very well then, ask him tomorrow if he would like to join the academy and become a ninja. If he does I will see to it that he gets funding for research into creating his own jutsu. He himself from your previous reports seems to have an innocent curiosity and no lust for power so there shouldn't be any problems." I carefully didn't react to the flash of sadness in his eyes at this last statement, we all knew what he was thinking there was no need to say it out loud... Orochimaru. "If he does not wish this perhaps there are some restaurants that will be willing to take him under there wing. If he will not fight perhaps we could get some value from him with his knowledge of foods from his world. I am sure this would please the Akimichis." We both grinned slightly at that, it was definitely a viable option but we both knew that was to break the tension but if it works it works.

"Hai, Hokage Sama, and lodgings?" I had thought this a simple question but the Hokage seemed to really need to think about this. He could be watched easily from anywhere so why did he need to think so hard about this?

"Put him in the apartment across from Naruto." After saying this some of the tension seemed to slip out of him even more and I didn't even need to hear him say it to understand. If formal people tended to unnerve him then him and Naruto were going to be the best of friends despite the four year age difference. I'm sure Dustin will find his pranks relaxing cause the worst he will expect is a good natured prank, and surely he won't join him... will he? But if he does... What if it all gets worse when they start getting along? If they work together to come up with new pranks they surely will. Oh Kami if two heads are better than one the things he may think of! "Kakashi I assure you this is the best place we could put him no one else will stay in that building and with his personality Naruto will be good for him till he adjusts." He seems so sure but I still couldn't keep the doubt out of my voice when I agreed.
