A/N: Arrghh… I can't believe I'm sick AGAIN (IN SUMMERTIME TOO! Well the weather's like autumn but meh) I will try and post as much as I can before university starts up (where has time gone now?) I feel that I need to re-read Naruto (honestly, I haven't watched/read it for 3 years now… really don't know what's going on) So if there are mistakes in the plot or the characters, I apologize in advance.

Disclaimer: I think I forgot to mention last time… whoops… but I'm too lazy so there… Kishimoto-sensei and Square Enix


What news will we hear this time?

"Heh heh, thank you!" Yuffie grinned as the moogle handed her the mail. While double-checking to see if it was addressed correctly, she noticed an opal-coloured envelope amongst the other letters. Curiously, she turned the envelope over and noticed the seal bearing a familiar crown insignia. Recognizing who the sender is, she quickly ripped open the seal and started reading. After a minute or so, Yuffie's eyes widened as she quickly stuffed the letter along with the other mail and dashed out of the post-office. Oh man, I didn't think it was going to be this bad…


Flashback in Konoha…

"Although it isn't necessary for Sora, Donald and Goofy to go to the Academy to learn," Tsunade began as she sipped her tea, "they need to catch up to at least genin level." Naruto gave a wide grin and pounded his chest.

"Well have no fear, cause Naruto is here!" Naruto exclaimed happily, "I will teach all you need to know about being a ninja…." A huge punch was thrown at his face as Sakura fumed angrily. You idiot...

"I wouldn't trust Naruto on this one…" Shizune sighed while holding Tonton, "Tsunade-sama, didn't you say someone else will be there to train them?" Tsunade sighed before resting her chin on her elbows.

"Besides Naruto and Sakura, there will also be someone else who's going to help you guys." Tsunade stated, "As long as they understand the basic ninja skills, then they can accompany you guys."

"Eh, so what will we get out of this?" Naruto whined while rubbing his cheek, "I didn't spend two and a half years training with Ero-jiji for nothing…" A large vein was beginning to show up on Tsunade's forehead until an idea came up.

"Hn, consider this as another one of your missions… how about B-rank?" Tsunade let a smirk. "You don't want slack off, right Naruto?" A grin tugged fiercely on Naruto's face before he cheered with joy. You are still a kid after training with Jiraiya. Sakura shook her head.


Trudging towards Suna…

"I didn't expect things to go this smoothly…" Deidara muttered as he tightened his cloak, "Oi, ugly, why do you have to bring that hideous piece of junk with you, hnn?" Sasori glared daggers under his puppet form.

"Speak for yourself," Sasori replied smoothly as he adjusted the hat, "no one cares about your so-called asthetics of art, bastard."

"Why you little…" Deidara began not until a loud shrill sound filled both Akatsuki's ears.

"DEIDARA, do as you are told." A loud voice boomed at the blonde. "We will tell Leader about this." Deidara glared the source of the yelling while rubbing his ears.

"Oh shut the hell up," Deidara snapped before he finished building up his clay bird. "I'll do this crap mission, Konan."

"If you can handle it." Sasori sneered.

"Oh just leave me alone…" Deidara muttered and noticed Sasori began to wheel his puppet form away from the blonde. "I MEANT LITERALLY! Geez, this is going to be a total BANG for me."


Back at the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee…

"This does look like the king's personal stationary," Leon flipped the letter back and forth, "Are you sure you read the letter correctly?" Yuffie shot an annoyed glare at him.

"You think I'm dumb enough to make things up?" Yuffie snapped as Tifa tried to calm her down, "Geez Squall, sometimes your ego is pissing me off…"

"The King says 'The Worlds are fluctuating and seem to be unstable due to unknown forces'," Aerith took the letter from Squall and began reading, "he asks that the Hollow Bastion Restoration committee to double security and keep a record as to how many heartless are there and their appearance."

"Hmm, this does sounds like serious business," Everyone turned to see Cloud walking in, "

"Well, I guess the first thing is to tighten the network around here," Cid smugly said as he entered a few keys into the computer, "I'll also install a full-range scan of Hollow Bastion before adding the monitor." Leon nodded as he turned towards the rest of the group.

"Merlin, would you mind casting a few more spells around the area?" Leon nodded towards the wizard, "at least it compliments with Cid's detectors…"

"Che, I'd rather not work with that old geezer." Cid sneered, "Who'd know if his troublesome magic will ever work."

"Old Geezer you say?!" Merlin readied his wand. "I'll make sure everything is working top-notch." With a spin on the heel, Merlin disappeared.

"I'll help with the documenting." Aerith smiled as she gathered the loose paper on the floor, "Just make sure you keep count and let me know."

"I'll go with Leon to do some scouting," Yuffie grinned and lugged her oversized shuriken on her back, "besides, I wouldn't mind a little competition."

"Bring it on," Leon smirked as he grabbed his gunblade and dashed out of the building along with Yuffie. Geez, those two better not destroy Hollow Bastion like last time, Cid rolled his eyes, It takes forever to clean up after those two…

"What about you Cloud?" Tifa ask as the spiky-haired blonde sauntered towards the door, "Are you going to join us?" Cloud turned around and gave his dead-pan stare.

"I'm going to go find him," Cloud muttered quietly. "He's probably part of this screw up." He turned around and left the door. Sigh, it seems as if he's still obsessed with him, Tifa shook her head and straightened her gloves. I hope it wouldn't darken his heart again like last time…


Let's start with some training soon…

"So, what is your preferred way of fighting?" Sakura asked Sora as they walked through Konoha, "Are you close-range combat or do you like illusions?" Sora scratched his head as he pondered this question.

"Hmm, I usually use a sword-like weapon so I guess it'll be close-range?" Sora said. "Although once in a while, I sometimes use magic if the enemy is too strong."

"Ahh so most probably the basic ninjutsu will do then," Sakura said, "What about Donald and Goofy?"

"A hyuck, I guess we'll be doing ninjutsu training since we pretty much use magic as well," Goofy exclaimed."

"Ehh… they like ninjutsu then? Aww man, I suck at ninjustu…" Naruto began to mutter to himself, "Ahh! We're here!" The group stopped in front the training grounds.

"This is so nostalgic…" Naruto grinned as they walked towards the clearing, "as if it was only yesterday we were training."

"So why don't we see how well are your combat skills?" Sakura asked cheerfully as she lead Sora, Donald and Goofy towards the former Team 7 training area. "I just want to know what's your level of combat."

"Well, I've only been fighting with a keyblade..." Sora shook his right hand downwards. "Eh? That's strange... I'm pretty sure I had it with me..."

"Erm, are you sure you're not making this up dattebayo?" Naruto asked while he twirled a kunai in his hand. "I mean, the keyblade sounds really cool but I've never heard of it..."

"I swear that I have one!" Sora tried his other hand. "Dammit! Donald and Goofy have always seen me with it!" Donald and Goofy gave Sora a weird look.

"Well, I'm guessing that your abilities don't work here..." a lazy voice startled the group. "If you're from a completely different dimension, it shouldn't be working right now..."

"WOAH! SHIKAMARU! Don't scare us dattebayo!" Naruto snapped as Shikamaru walked towards the group.

"What?" Shikamaru covered his ears and stared at Naruto, annoyed that the blonde almost hurt his ears with his loud voice. "The hokage wants me to come over to see what you guys are doing..."

"So a lazy person like you has something to do?" Naruto teased as he punched the said-lazy person in the shoulder, "aww, you're so dedicated to your shinobi duty…"

"NARUTO!" Sakura clenched her teeth, "you are causing enough trouble for us today…"

"Ahh, I almost forgot, this is our friend Nara Shikamaru!" Naruto grinned at Sora and his gang. "Shkamaru, that's Sora, Donald and Goofy." Sora held out his hand as Shikamaru lazily shook it.

"You're those people who just arrived right?" Shikamaru scratched his head, "This is troublesome, especially since you don't have that weapon of yours…"

"I'm honest! I even carry it around with me all the time!" Sora began to panic. "Aw man, I feel so useless now…"

"Well, what should we do about it?" Donald asked as Shikamaru placed his hands forming a square and closed his eyes. After a few minutes Shikamaru opened his eyes and stared blankly from Naruto to Sora.

"This is troublesome but…" Shikamaru gave a loud sigh as he spun the kunai in his right hand, "we'll have to start from scratch."


A/N: An unfortunate cliff hanger I see… I just don't want to overwrite (which I tend to do a lot) so you're just gonna have to wait until the next chapter. I hope you enjoyed this fanfiction so far and let me know what you liked or hated about it. (in fact, any suggestions are more than welcome :P)
