Ok, so here's the next chapter. And we finally get to see the completed Hiraishin, there's an omake to explain how it get's finished at the end of the chapter since I couldn't find the right spot to put it in while maintaining the flow I created. So, read and enjoy... or read and hate it, it's your choice, just let me know what you think of it in a review

Mita shielded her eyes as a brilliant splinter of light appeared in the middle of the living room, a light that slowly cleared and revealed Gina's time bubble silently hovering above her head.. Moments later the sphere settled on the floor and Gina popped the hatch, clambering out with a victorious grin plastered on her face.

"Mission complete Mita, I got my man back! Oh and I found some of your friends too." Arnie and Asrial both grinned ruefully as they exited the time bubble, knowing that there was no slight intended by Gina... she was just more concerned with Naruto. Ryan on the other hand grumbled softly as he exited the time bubble, annoyed that he hadn't even been included... again. Mita frowned and cocked her head to the side after turning to look at Gina.

"Well, where is he?" Gina grinned as she jerked a thumb towards Mita's couch and Mita had to cover her mouth to prevent a giggle from escaping. Naruto, the unstoppable shinobi of chaos... was taking a nap. Gina grinned as she crossed her arms under her breasts and shook her head at her boyfriend.

"I can't really blame him, after all he did take out more than half of an undead horde on his own and he's been going full throttle since we were all separated. If anyone needs a break, it's him." Gina softly trailed her fingers along the whiskered check of the sleeping man and was rewarded with a soft purring sound deep in his chest, an action that caused her to smile fondly. 'Don't worry, I'll find the girls and we'll get home babe... after all, we got a groom to hunt down for my little sister!'

Naruto groaned as he brought an arm up to cover his eyes, not wanting to wake up from his heavenly dream, his girls were a little busy tending to his needs and he didn't want to interrupt the dream for anything. But an insistent poking in his side pulled him from the grip of said amazing dream and thrust him back into the waking world. Opening his eyes a mere sliver Naruto watched a grinning Gina trying to prod him awake. 'Oh no Kirei, I'm not letting you get away with that again...'

Gina was keeping her laughter restrained as she gently prodded the 'sleeping' hyperactive engine of chaos, knowing that he was awake, having had multiple opportunities to watch the blonde man shift from sleep to his cautionary wake up. Even after having both herself and Brianna in his bed for over a month now the blonde man still seemed a little surprised every day that he woke up with them at his side, almost as if he thought that everything he had experienced so far was a dream. Gina closed her eyes and took a deep cleansing breath as she realized that there were still a few walls the blonde shinobi hadn't brought down around his heart, but her and Brianna were making good progress. 'Don't worry, neither of us are going anywhere, we're with you till the end, my love...eh?'

Naruto nearly grinned when he saw Gina close her eyes, seeing a perfect opportunity to strike. Swiftly reaching up Naruto grabbed the distracted scientist and pulled her towards the couch, rolling over on top of the surprised woman and giving her a deep kiss. Gina's eyes widened in shock then slowly closed as as her arms wrapped around Naruto's neck, holding him close as he deepened the kiss. Naruto slowly pulled back and brushed the back of his hand across Gina's cheek, a grin showing his happiness to the woman beneath him. "Kirei... you do remember what I said I'd do if you ever woke me up like that again, don't you?"

Gina's content smile immediately became a confused frown as she thought back to an incident last week, her frown quickly morphing into an expression of panic. Naruto grinned evilly as he flexed his hand and struck, his attack penetrating Gina's defenses as if they weren't even there. Gina valiantly tried to hold in any sound of discomfort but it was in vain as she let the sound she was desperately trying to hold in. "AHAHAHAHAHAH! NOOOOOO!"

Naruto grinned as he slowly stopped his tickle attack and kissed Gina again, giving him time to get up as the happy girl relished the feelings that Naruto caused in her. Rising up from the couch and stretching out slowly, Naruto turned around and nearly fell back as he saw the Quagmire contingent all looking at the awoken powerhouse with looks of shock. Causing Naruto to remember where he was. Chuckling nervously, Naruto idly rubbed the back of his neck then suddenly pitched forward as Gina smacked him in across the back of his head and walked away in a huff. Naruto chuckled as he watched his irate girlfriend walk back over to Mita and her systems, causing the man to look at the others and grin. 'Hey guys, what did I miss?"

''Well young man, other than the return of myself and our comrades from the era of the Dragon Pharaoh, nothing else has recently occurred." Naruto raised his eyebrows at the sound of the cultured voice behind him and glanced over his shoulder, seeing the man that had spoke.

"So I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume your Professor Azland, right?" At the professors curt nod, Naruto nodded back in greeting as he saw there were several new faces that must have arrived while he was taking his nap. Naruto recognized Genn and May as well as the girl that had dropped in with Azland, so almost everyone was accounted for. "Well, looks like everyone is here, cept the girls. Any luck finding them yet Gina?"

Gina looked back at Naruto with a even glare then turned back to the systems that she was using to find her wayward sisters and turned away with another huff, still not over the payback that Naruto had dished out to her. Mita shook her head at the scene and grinned at Naruto. "We've found them, but we're still locking onto the coordinates. It'll take a little while longer to pinpoint their exact location in the time stream since the Chronoverse is in such as state of flux due to the time warp Peachbody is employing against us."

Naruto nodded as he grabbed a can of soda from the table and took a long drink. 'I wonder what they're both up to... and when exactly they landed.'

During the time of El Dorado's landing

"SORRYGOTTAGOANDTAKECAREOFSOMETHINGBYE!"

"BRITTANY, YOU GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE RIGHT NOW!"

Back in the present

Naruto paled as a feeling of dread settled over him, causing him to look over at his annoyed girlfriend. 'I wonder if I could get away with trying to make Kirei hurry up...'

Chapter 10

Brittany gritted her teeth as she raced desperately towards El Dorado, her determination coursing through every fiber of her being. 'If I can just grab the power coupling that Stripe showed me during my tour of the city, I can stop him from ever leaving!' A nagging voice that sounded suspiciously like Gina tried to tell Brittany that she shouldn't mess with the time stream, but Brittany squelched it with a savage thought. 'I just want him to be safe, here, with me! When I bring the coupling back to him in the future then we can all go together to save his planet!'

Brittany slid to a stop right below the city ship that had finally descended far enough that she could sneak on board. A quick glance and Brittany leapt towards a outer hatch, using the code she and her sisters had been given to open any door in the city during their visits, the determined girl swiftly disappearing inside the massive ship.

Brianna arrived just as her sister was entering the hatch and managed to catch a glimpse of Brittany's disappearing tail. Growling in frustration Brianna raced forward and entered the same hatch, intent on stopping her sister before she made things worse. 'She better not let ANYONE see her! She's going to seriously screw things up at this rate!'

Deep inside the ship

Brittany growled internally as she desperately clung to the ceiling of the corridor, hoping that no one below her had the bright idea to look up. Brittany had just entered when a contingent of guards rushed down the passage and the only place she could hide was above their heads. Brittany's claws dug into the ceiling and she held on with all her strength... hoping that her rarely used claws that were desperately trying to hold up a three hundred pound, seven foot tall were-cheetah would come through for her. As the group of guards finally passed through the corridor, Britanny's claws gave out and dropped the annoyed woman on her ass. 'Dammit Stripe, if you had just told me that your home planet was in danger and took me with you, none of this would be necessary! You are in so much trouble when I get you back home!'

Just as Brittany was about to stand, a frosty voice cause the young woman to slowly look behind her. "You're SUPPOSED to land on your feet, Brittany..." Brittany nervously chuckled at the angry glare she was receiving from Brianna and slowly backed away. Brianna lunged forward, and jabbed her finger right in Brittany's face, freezing her to the spot in surprise. "I know exactly what your trying to do Brit! Remember, I used to be 50% you! You think you have it all figured out, don't you? That you can make things go your way? What if you change history? You could end up making it that you and Stripe never meet!" Brittany's gaze lowered to the floor and she took a deep breath as she let Brianna's words sink in.

"It's a risk I'm willing to take! Bye!" Brittany immediately ran for it, leaving a very annoyed Brianna to chase after her.

'Dammit! But, at least I know where she's headed. You shouldn't try and outsmart someone that's got most of Gina's brain sis, it never works out well!'

In the present

Naruto finished re-sealing up all of his materials, looking at his now finished tri-prong kunai with a smirk. 'Well, it's pretty much ready, now I just need a situation to test it in. And I better thank the person that made it possible.' Naruto pocketed the weapon then walked towards Gina as she continued to work on pinpointing her sisters. Wrapping his arms around Gina's waist Naruto leaned forward and kissed the top of her head. "Thanks for the help Kirei, any closer to knowing exactly where to jump?"

Gina, having long since gotten over being annoyed with Naruto leaned against him and hummed softly. "Yep, got them right now actually, ready to go pick them up?" Before Naruto could even answer a flash of light caused him to pull Gina close as he jumped away from the computer terminal that they had been in front of, the smell of burning electronics causing the man to cough uncontrollably. Mita shrieked in anger as she saw her system having a complete meltdown right in front of her eyes.

"What in the... I just upgraded this thing! ARGH! Arnie, look in that drawer beside you, you should find the warranty info there, I need to get this thing fixed now!" Arnie leaned over as instructed to help Mita out but a quick glance outside changed his plans immediately... also the shaking walls kinda tipped him off there may be a problem outside.

"Um, Mita? I think you'll want to look outside, I have a feeling that the problem with your computers isn't covered by your warranty."

Above Mita's house

"Benji, I do believe I went about defeating my enemies in a completely half-assed manner. I think it's time to make their defeat a little more... permanent." Peachbody grinned as he watched the very fabric of space become unraveled before him, causing sections of the town under the time craft to slowly disappear.

"What exactly do you mean Doctor? I thought that we did a good job in getting them thrown around time before!" Peachbody looked at his attack boy, sighed as he shook his head in exasperation.

"Benji, all I ended up doing was basically playing temporal hot potato with them! So we need to go about getting rid of them in a more... destructive way. Alas, I will miss this era, I put so much hard work into it. But, on the bight side, it does mean I can rebuild it to be less... tacky."

In Chronospace

A flash of light and three time bubbles raced through the newly formed time fissure, narrowly avoiding their imminent destruction. Professor Azland let out a deep breath that he had been holding as the group had been attempting their escape. "Is everyone alright? Did we leave anyone behind?" A screen projected itself in the air, showing the interiors of the other two time bubbles. Mita was alone but Gina was with Genn, May and Ichi-kun. "Well, with Asrial, Arnie, Akaru and Ryan here that means... wait, where's Naruto?!"

Gina sighed as she swung her arm away from the controls and a meaty thwack was heard over the comlink. "He's right here, he's just pulling another prank. Brianna and I haven't been able to break him of the habit of pulling them at the worst possible times!" A sheepish looking Naruto reappeared, his hand rubbing the back of his neck.

"I'm sorry, it's instinctual now! I must prank, for it is my very nature! That's like trying to get Brittany to stop eating tuna... actually, that gives me an awesome idea for a new..." Naruto trailed off at the death glare his girlfriend was leveling at him. Finally everyone burst out in laughter, the nervous moments that followed their near erasure from time currently forgotten at Naruto's silliness.

"Well, since we're all here, I'm going to take my group and head for the Sphinx artifact. We can't let Peachbody keep using it for his time warp, it's much too dangerous to our continued survival! Mita, how about you?" Azland's time bubble did a quick U-turn and rocketed for the distant past while Mita's continued on ahead.

"I'll take the future, see if there is anything I can use from Peachbody's own time line to end this madness! Gina, you take your group, find your sisters and meet up with us later!"

Gina nodded resolutely as the com channel was cut and her time bubble flew through the Chronoverse, directly towards the coordinates that would take them to their quarry.

In the past, El Dorado's engine room

Brianna leaned forward, peeking around the corner of the corridor that led to the main drive systems for El Dorado. Multiple Kryn technicians were milling about, doing everything they could to keep their equipment functioning under the heavy bombardment from Atlantis' weapons. 'Brit is going to have to make her way here if she wants to stop them. The only way to do it would be to take out the main power coupling, which is insane with all these people around. Not even Brittany is fast enough to do that and not be seen'

Brianna scanned back and forth, hoping to catch a glimpse of her elusive older sister. A sudden movement in her peripheral vision caused Brianna to quickly look to her right, the sight before her making her blood run cold. Brittany was grasping onto what she must have thought was the power coupling and was getting ready to rip it from it's housing. 'OH SHIT! That's the shield regulator! NO!' As soon as Brittany pulled the component off the massive city ship shook violently, alarms blared as heavy fire was causing massive damage to the already over taxed ship. Brianna growled in frustration as she ran forward and grabbed her confused older sister by the shoulder.

"Brianna! What happened, I thought that the engines would just shut down!" Brittany was clutching at the shield regulator and looked like she was about to cry as the ship took a pounding.

"YOU. OUTSIDE. NOW." Brianna roughly pulled her sister out of the engine room and the pair dashed towards an outer hatch, managing to make it a short distance away from the apparently doomed city. "Well, that was a great idea sis, now Atlantis can destroy El Dorado since it's shields are down. Apparently your so mad at Stripe you don't want him to even exist, is that it? Cause if it is then your doing a mighty fine job!"

"But... you're saying this isn't the power coupling?" Brianna gave a mocking laugh as she pulled open her jacket, assembling several pieces into a very large gun.

"Got it in one. Brit. You're holding a shield regulator, the second you ripped that off you sealed El Dorado's fate."

Brittany's eyes widened in horror as she shoved the component towards Brianna. "Quick, we have to go back, we can put it back in it's place!"

Brianna slowed the assembly of her weapon and looked at Brittany seriously. "Sis, you ripped it out of it's casing. It's junk now, every internal circuit was fried when that happened. It'd be like trying to fix the lights with a broken fuse. But this... this may even the odds a bit." Brianna held up the very large handgun that was giving off a very high pitched whine. Squeezing the trigger a large blast of blue energy was flung towards Atlantis. Moments later the blast hit the Atlantean shields and both girls held their breath, waiting to see if their prayers were answered.

In the future

Mita had done it, she had managed to enter Peachbody's personal time stream... and the sights she was witness to made her sick to her stomach. Peachbody had been right, canines ruled this world... or rather, a canine ruled this world, Peachbody himself. All others were under his thrall, the smallest hint of disobedience or rebellion was quashed immediately. Mita had switched over to Ghost mode, making her invisible to the population below her. Placing a portable emitter on her wrist Mita exited her time bubble after it had landed at what appeared to be a museum. Moments later several messages were broadcast over the pa system, all of them sounding innocent enough, but Mita was not convinced. Taking a audio sample she ran it through the time bubble's systems and found a underlying audio stream, which caused Mita to growl in anger as she heard what was being said underneath the 'innocent welcome'.

"Obey or die! Peachbody is supreme! All hail Peachbody! Independent thought is treason!" Mita quickly entered the museum, desperate to find something that would prevent such a insane dog from ruling the world under his iron paw. Mita looked towards a very large statue the obviously was Peachbody and saw a small puppy with another dog that could only be it's mother. As Mita stepped closer she heard their conversation and smiled at innocence of the puppy, not understanding that some things( such as it's parents disgust with Peachbody) shouldn't be repeated in public. As Mita stopped to listen she head something that was potentially helpful. As she continued to listen a devilish smirk appeared on Mita's face, a smirk that was present as she re entered her time bubble and left the era of Peachbody. In the Museum the message Mita had been listening continued to play back and no one knew how bad this would be for their 'beloved' ruler.

"The Legacy of Dr. Peachbody began with the birth of a primitive puppy named Pickles at the Rosey Hill Puppy Farm, his date of birth was..."

"Is it working Brianna?" As a salvo of return fire from El Dorado was shrugged off by the apparently unfazed shields, Brianna sighed as she lowered her gun.

"In a word... No. This E.M.P Blaster just doesn't have enough power to make a difference. I've got nothing left sis... I'm sorry but it's over for El Dorado."

Suddenly both girl's were cut off from seeing El Dorado by a large silvery sphere that landed right in front of them. A moment later Gina popped her head out of the entrance and jerked a thumb inside. "You two, get in the time bubble, we've got to get out of here!"

"Whoa, hang on Gina, we need your help! Brittany here doomed El Dorado and we need to save them!" As Brianna stopped talking she gasped in joy when Naruto leaned out of the time bubble to look at the warring cities behind him.

"Wow, that looks like a awesome... MMPH!" Naruto was cut off as Brianna jumped in his arms and kissed him deeply, her arms around his neck preventing him from pulling away. A moment later Brianna realized what was going on and pulled away, a sheepish, "Sorry!" her only apology.

"Naruto! I need you to get up there and take down their shields! Go get'em stud!" Naruto looked at Brianna incredulously and shook his head, backing away from the fight.

"Oh no, I ain't going up there! First off, I can't fly! Well... not yet anyways, still haven't gotten the hang of that and second, all the attacks I have are for massive property damage, the only one that could hit them from here would the Rasenshuriken. But at that range, I'd have to make it insanely over powered! Not to mention if it even penetrated the shields it would completely destroy the city! There has to be another way!"

As Brittany chewed on her lower lip nervously, Brianna had the feeling she should look inside the time bubble. The sight before her made her cock her head to the side in surprise. "Genn? Why are you leaning on a... a nuke! That's perfect!" Letting go of Naruto, Brianna grabbed the nuke and placed it in front of Brittany. "Brit! This is the answer to all our problems! Ready for a fastball special?"

Brittany grinned and grabbed the weapon, not even paying attention as Gina started to throw a fit at her sisters stealing her weaponry. Naruto sighed and pulled Gina back into his arms, causing the young genius to stop yelling and settle for pouting at her two sisters while being held. Brittany reared back and let the nuke fly from her hands and everyone watched as it hit the shields of Atlantis, collapsed them and forced the largely intact city to fall towards the ocean.

Gina sighed as she watched the city ship crash into the ocean and begin to sink beneath the waves, a victim of her enhanced weaponry. "It was even one of my special types of nukes, no radiation, very little residual heat..." Gina trailed off as she made her way back to the time bubble, pointedly ignoring her sisters as they tried to explain just why they took her bomb without even an explanation. Brianna looked at Brittany, shrugged her shoulders and latched onto Naruto, grinning as everyone entered the time bubble.

"So, what did we miss?"

With Azland and his group

Professor Azland was having a very bad day. He had assumed with the large number of experienced fighters he had with him they could restrain Peachbody's attack boy long enough to wrest control of the Sphinx from the clearly insane mongrel. 'Of course, I think I may need to reassess the combat potential of my associates, after this fight is over. And if we survive.' Azland looked at all of his friends as they slowly picked themselves off of the ground and faced their opponent again.

"Shall I finish them off for you now sir?" Peachbody laugh softly as he relaxed from his seat on the time craft, having a ball watching these foolish humans try and beat his attack boy.

"Oh no Benji, the fun has just begun, let them struggle some more so they can see the futility... wait a moment, what's that sound?" A high pitched alarm was coming from the control system of the sphinx, Peachbody accessed his terminal and whined pitifully. "No... NO! Benji, we must leave immediately!"

Azland cocked his head to the side as he watched Peachbody and Benji jump on the time craft and retreat... when they were already winning. 'What in the... huh?" Azland felt his temporal communicator vibrate, letting him know that Mita had texted him. Pulling the device out of his pocket as he walked over to the sphinx and began the process of stopping the time warp, Azland read the message and grinned. His task complete Azland locked the main computer against any other users and went to help his friends to their feet. "Brilliant, absolutely brilliant Mita. So, who wants to take a trip to the 80's for the final showdown?"

With Naruto and company in the Chronoverse

Naruto had unrolled a scroll and was attaching several pouches that he had unsealed to his belt and his thighs, soon after he began to fill them with multiple throwing stars and kunai. Brianna rubbed her chin as she saw that some of the kunai were shaped differently, a tri-prong design she hadn't seen before. Before she could ask about the new weapons one of the indicators on the controls for the time bubble began to beep softly, getting Gina's attention from her scanning. Several moments later Gina turned around, a triumphant look on her face as she grinned at her passengers.

"We've got him cornered now."

Naruto's face gained a feral grin, as he began to open and close his hands in anticipation for the chance to actually beat the crap out of Benji without any distractions. 'No more synthoids or time warps to save you this time. Just you, me and the ass whupping you deserve, teme!'

In the 80's with Mita

Mita smiled in victory as she read through a magazine in the veterinarian's waiting room. 'Well, I give it another... thirty minutes and this whole debacle will be a bad memory.' Mita grinned as she turned the page on her magazine when a massive crash behind her quickly changed the grin to a look of dread. A hand reached through the hole and grabbed Mita by the back of her jacket, roughly hauling her out of the waiting room. Said hand held her in the air in front of the very instigator of this whole mess, Peachbody.

"The sheer audacity! To have the utter GALL to threaten MY ancestor! Benji! Finish her once and for all!" The fingers in Benji's free hand stiffened and the loyal attack boy thrust his hand forward, intent on ending Mita's life with a single blow. Mita shut her eyes, knowing that she had no way out and accepted that she as going to die... but several seconds later when the blow didn't land Mita cautiously opened her eyes and nearly sobbed in relief, her friends had arrived just in time to save her again.

Asrial had a solid hold on Benji's arm as she balanced on his thigh, using it as a foothold to stop the killing strike. Arnie had arrived from above, his falling elbow drop impacting the top of Benji's head. Akaru and Ryan took the open sides of Benji's face, Akaru using a powerful right to Benji's jaw and Ryan(ever the showoff) did a double flying kick to Benji's left cheek. The stunned attack boy let Mita go and all four of his assailants thought that they had managed to beat him, at least for now. But this hope was shattered as Benji reached over, grabbed Asrial by her forearm and threw her through the nearby storefront of a Crafts store. The others immediately backed away, but Ryan was too slow and he met a similar fate, crashing into the local Taco Hut, scaring the hell out of all the diners inside as they fled the resturant.

Akaru and Arnie looked at each other, nodded once then ran forward together, hoping that working together they could overpower the enraged attack boy. But Benji was keeping up with their coordinated attack and managed to put Akaru down again with a powerful palm strike, sending the boy skidding along the ground till he hit a fire hydrant. Arnie raised his arms to block an incoming blow but Benji's fist blew right through his defense, stunning the large man and setting him up for multiple followup hits from Benji. Benji finished off his attack with an uppercut, sending the massive man tumbling back, blood leaking from the corner of his mouth. All four of the beaten youths stood up on shaky legs, more than willing to go another round against the monstrous strength of the attack boy but Peachbody's mocking laughter stopped them in their tracks. "Ah, I see that you have followed me here as well. Pity, you would have lived longer if you had run away. Of course I would have tracked you down eventually, so I must thank you for saving me the trouble. Benji, remove your limiter, it's time to finish this."

Benji grinned ferally as he ripped his spiked collar free from his neck and wisps of energy began to slowly circle his body. A massive surge of power exploded from his body, sending all the debris around him flying. Arnie's eyes widened as Benji literally exploded into action, his speed having increased dramatically as he crossed the distance between both fighters in a second. Benji savagely buried his fist in Arnie's stomach, forcing the tall man to his knees as he spat out some blood. Benji pulled Arnie's head up by his hair, his free hand glowing with an eerie light as he prepared to end his opponents life.

"Arnie! NO!" Asrial ran out of the destroyed shop that she landed in but she knew she would never make it in time. But as she tried to reach her friend, a blur raced by her and careened towards Benji. The blur reached the pair and suddenly everyone was able to see it was Brittany, her fist lashing out in a powerful left cross. Benji was thrown back into the vet's office, crashing through the room that Pickles was being operated on, letting the young pup run free until Genn grabbed him in his arms. Brittany grabbed Arnie and raced away from the scene, knowing what was going to happen next.

"MOVE! GET OUTTA THE WAY EVERYONE! CLEAR THE ROAD!" All of the injured fighters heard the serious tone of the running were cheetah and knew it would be a bad idea to stay there. Just as they all got out of the middle of the intersection they had been trashing Benji managed to pull himself free of the ruined vet's office, confused at the fact everyone had run away. A moment later a tri-pronged knife flashed through the air, hit the ground in front of the confused Benji and suddenly the area in front of Benji was bathed in a bright flash of light. A moment later a powerful uppercut knocked the attack boy off his feet, sending him crashing to the ground, but the attacker was not done. Grabbing Benji by his shirt the attack boy was hoisted up and a swift palm strike was delivered to his stomach, causing Benji to stumble back in agony as he coughed up blood. As the attack boy fell to his knees he looked up at the very serious face of Naruto, his red eyes causing Benji to freeze in surprise.

"Anyone that helps the mutt deserves what's coming to them. You tried to kill Arnie and Mita right now and you tried to kill my girlfriends multiple times before. So, you've used up the last ounce of mercy I could possibly have for you." Naruto disappeared from Benji's sight causing the now worried attack boy to frantically try and find the newest fighter he faced. A shadow above Benji caught his attention, his eyes widening in shock as Naruto rocketed towards him at breakneck speeds, his arm extended and a glowing sphere extended at the attack boy. Benji dove to the side, narrowly escaping the attack but the immense pressure from the resulting explosion sent him and a large amount of debris skidding away. As the smoke cleared Benji paled at the destruction that Naruto had caused, a crater that was easily ten feet wide was located on the spot he had been standing. Naruto's angry stare pinned the attack boy to his spot as his opponent spoke again. "I'm done playing, BOY. You want a fight, I'll give you a fight. And then it's the end for you Peachbody, no more games, you're going to die today."

Peachbody blinked at the sudden turn of events and growled softly. "Never, I'll never end my mission until my goal is complete and you are all dead! Benji! Engage Hypermode!" At these words Benji crossed his arms over his face as a massive influx of energy kicked up strong winds around his body. Naruto frowned deeply, this feeling reminding him of something... or rather, someone. As Benji's energy reached it's peak a blast of pressure flew off of him, his now red skin causing Naruto to growl lowly in anger. Naruto leveled a murderous glare at Peachbody and pointed his finger at the canine furiously.

"How in the hell did you do that to him! He shouldn't be able to use the Gates!" At Peachbody's smirk Naruto's growl stopped and he turned back to Benji, barely having felt the enraged boy move towards him in a mad dash. Naruto raised his arm to deflect the blow facing for his face but the chakra enhanced fist sent him skidding back but failed to knock him off his feet. Naruto wiped the thin line of blood that trickled from his lip and immediately created two clones, nodding at them as they left the battle. Closing his eyes, Naruto took a deep breath as he lowered his guard. Benji raced forward with a roar, intent on destroying the ones that had stopped Peachbody at every turn. All of Naruto's friends screamed for him to move, but the man didn't move a muscle.

Just before Benji's strike was about to his Naruto, the blonde's hand rose up faster than anyone's eyes could follow and stopped Benji's fist a mere centimeter from his face. Naruto's eyes snapped open, his yellow eyes promising intense pain for the attack boy as he began to squeeze his hand, nearly crushing Benji's fist. "You know, you should never take you eyes off of your surroundings, especially when fighting the most unpredictable shinobi of all time!" The two shadow clones suddenly reappeared, kicking Benji high into the air. Naruto disappeared from sight again and was suddenly far above the rapidly rising Benji, his arm extended towards the sky above him as he looked towards his rapidly approaching foe. A blast of focused wind chakra sent Naruto hurtling downward as he spun and landed an axe kick on top of Benji's head, sending him crashing to ground with a massive explosion of dust and debris. Naruto landed and watched shock as Benji slowly rose, his wounds starting to slowly close one after another. Naruto growled again, his mind racing as he tried to think of a way to end this fight quickly, the voice of Peachbody suddenly interrupted his concentration.

"Ah Benji, truly he is the epitome of our experimentation in genetic research. He was the only one out of a thousand to survive the necessary experimentation to implant the... what do you call it? Ah yes, chakra circulatory system. That added in with several enhanced 'gifts' makes Benji nigh unstoppable. Of course, all of his wonderful abilities would not be possible if not for me. Where I managed to get such wonderful specimens... I'll let you figure that out. Alas, I think it's time we upped the ante, as you appear to be finally taking this seriously.. Benji, Final fusion!" Benji leapt towards his master, his maniacal grin letting everyone know that the fight was far from over. Both Peachbody and Benji began to glow brightly and a pillar of light shot to the sky, causing everyone to pull back, Naruto merely stood tall and watched the storm of energy before him, feeling the two distinct patterns of energy for Benji and Peachbody meld into a single form.

'Well, that's probably not a good thing.'

Gina, Mita and Professor Azland watched the battle from an alleyway, knowing that they'd be a liability in this fight if they got too close. Gina cocked an eyebrow at the scene before her and sighed. "What the heck is this, a rip off of Dragonball Z? Professor Azland, there must be something we can do to stop those two. Naruto should be able to take them down but he'll probably end up destroying half the city... if we're lucky. He may be a shinobi, but when he gets serious he's not exactly the most … subtle person."

The professor rubbed his chin as he looked at the resulting fusion of Peachbody and Benji, the clearly enraged Naruto and his time craft that was innocently floating above their heads. A smirk slowly appeared on his face and Azland turned to face Gina and Mita. "I have a plan and it let's everyone have a crack at the insane mutt.."

Naruto was dodging as the new and improved Benji was racing towards him and began to rapidly throw multiple punches and kicks, trying to box the shinobi in for a more powerful attack. Naruto, fully immersed in his Sennin modo, was able to dodge out of the way of each attack, further infuriating the amalgam before him. Just as Naruto was about to move in and attack, he noticed Gina out of the corner of his eye as she waved to get his attention. Naruto created a new clone to see what she wanted as he focused back on his opponent, watching him gather more chakra before he rushed Naruto, nearly catching him off guard. Naruto began to block each attack, putting more power into the final block that knocked Benji's leading arm downward, providing him with a perfect opening. Naruto raised both arms and brought them down in a double axe handle, slamming Benji into the ground and sending a cloud of debris into the air as the falling Benji caused the street to crater and break apart. Jumping back Naruto smirked at the effectiveness of the attack, having learned it from flipping through channels on tv and catching part of a wrestling match. He knew the fight was obviously not as serious as both men had portrayed it, but several of their moves interested Naruto in their potential to be added to his freestyle form of combat. A sudden influx of memory caused Naruto to grin as he looked at Gina, winked at her and then leapt back into the fray, knowing exactly how to get Benji to fall into their trap.

Another hand sign and Naruto vanished from sight, causing Benji to immediately put up his guard, expecting an attack from any angle... except directly below him. The pair of hands that flew out of the ground grasped Benji's ankles and pulled the fused being part way into the ground and continued to hold on. As Benji struggled to free himself Asrial ran forward, holding a pickup truck in her hands and used an overhand swing to try and crush the stuck attack boy. Benji's screamed in pain as the truck hit him and in a fit of rage he used his enhanced strength to tear the truck to pieces. Just as he was about to try and free himself again a blast of azure energy hit him from behind, face planting him into the ground. Turning around, Benji growled as he saw the smirking Ryan Tabbot beat a hasty retreat before Benji could even think about reaching for him.

"Gnats, all of you are gnats! When we free ourselves we will destroy you all!" Benji continued to pull against the grip that kept his body half buried and was surprised to feel it mysteriously vanish. A moment later the fused man pulled himself free, cackling madly as he imagined what he would do to his foes. A moment later a blonde and white blur appeared before him and Benji was greeted by the smirking face of Brittany and a spinning heel kick right to the chin, sending Benji rocketing towards a storefront but before he could hit he was intercepted by May who threw Benji high into the air. Akaru and Ichi both leapt towards the rapidly rising man and with perfect synchronization they sent Benji flying back to the ground with a pair of axe kicks, both hitting the being's collarbones. Everyone on the ground winced as the sound of the bones snapping and the shrill scream in both Benji and Peachbody's voices as they fell towards the ground, but they were not done, Naruto intercepted Benji again and threw him back in the air, towards a falling Arnie. Arnie grabbed onto Benji and held him close in a deadly looking pile driver, ramming the fused man's head into one of the few undamaged portions of the street that remained. Arnie quickly ran towards Naruto and the others, ready to keep pounding on their enemy but Benji suddenly leapt from the ruined street, the heavily beaten man's injuries slowly healed before their eyes but the man leapt away towards the stolen time craft. "A noble effort, but you managed to only knock out the portion of my brain currently occupied by Benji! Although that means my skills in fighting are now gone, so I will take my leave of you all and return to finish you all off later!"

Naruto grinned as he looked over at his girlfriends, Mita and Azland as they put the finishing touches on their contribution to the fight, a detonator that could produce a signal that would overload the time craft's engines. "Hit it!" Gina grinned as she pushed the plunger down, transmitting a signal that caused the time craft to explode before it could make it's jump to the Chronoverse. Naruto sighed as he walked towards Gina and Brianna, wrapping his arms around both girls shoulders and letting them support him. "Finally, the mutt is gone. So, did he get blown up? Please tell me he was blown to pieces."

Gina looked at Naruto and grinned as she adjusted her glasses. "Nope, he wouldn't have died from that explosion... but he did get thrown somewhere in time. Where would you say he landed, Professor?"

Professor Azland rubbed his chin as he went over several calculations in his mind. "Well I would have to say that he's going to have a very long wait to reach his own time line, after all he's about five hundred million years in the past now... give or take a million years."

Naruto closed his eyes as he relaxed, the fight was finally over. "Ok, now we are going home. I'm hungry, I'm tired and I really need a shower." Gina and Brianna both grinned at each other as they dragged their tired hero towards a time bubble.

"Well, it looks like your so tired that we'll have to help you with your shower Naru. Don't worry, we'll make sure your cleaned up properly." Naruto looked at each girl in shock, then he began to smirk as he was dragged towards the time bubble, his thoughts on the upcoming activities with his girls. Brittany, Genn and Ryan all looked at each other and shrugged, making their way to their ride home.

500,000,000 years in the past

Benji sat on the ground and sighed as he looked around, seeing nothing but dirt, plants and large prehistoric lizards as far as his eyes could see. "I really, really, hate that man. I'll get him, one way or another, someday. I, Alfred Peachbody, will crush all my enemies beneath my paws and rule the world once more."

End Chapter

Omake – How did Naruto fix the Flying Thunder God Seal?

Naruto was sitting at a table in Mita's house, several scrolls and a multiple books covering almost every corner of the eating surface he had claimed. A very interest Ichi-kun was watching as the ancient shinobi unsealed several weapons, checked them for signs of wear and then sealed them back up. To his right was a very complex array, it seemed to call out to the inquisitive young girl and she couldn't resist reaching for it. A iron hard grip caught her wrist just as she was about to touch the unfurled scroll and the ninja girl weakly laughed in embarrassment. "Sorry?"

"Oh, it's ok, I just wanted to make sure you didn't drain almost all your life energy out of you by touching that. It's a stasis seal and even if I release it you'd be out of commission for at least a week." Ichi-kun eep'ed and pulled her hand back, staring at the multitude of seals laid out in front of her.

"Wow... what do they all do? I've never seen anything like them before!" Naruto grinned and put down the book he had been consulting as he pointed at several seals and rattled off information about each of them.

"Explosive seal, containment seal, seal of holding, seal of darkness which is totally awesome, it makes someone think they've gone blind. And here we have the creme de la creme, the Flying Thunder God seal... which is completely useless at the moment. I still haven't had time to work on finishing it yet, because some people keep having crazy amounts of insanity occurring around them at all times!" Naruto finished off his explanation with a massive grin directed at the back of his still annoyed girlfriend. Ichi-kun looked at the Flying Thunder God seal in confusion.

"So why isn't this one finished? What exactly makes it useless?" Naruto sighed as he picked up the kunai marked with the seal formula and looked at in exasperation.

"Because every time I use it all of my chakra gets sucked out to power the technique. I haven't been able to figure out a way to power the technique without becoming a complete invalid for a day. It's completely useless in combat right now but I know it works, my dad used it to defeat an entire army before I was born." Naruto sighed as he rubbed his head furiously in frustration. Gina sighed as she walked over, looked at the array and then pointedly stared at the source of her annoyance.

"If I tell you how to fix it, you owe me... big time. Deal?" Naruto looked at Gina in wide eyed amazement and nodded solemnly, knowing his girlfriend was able to piece together answers from the barest of clues and hoped that this was one of those times. Gina smirked as she traced a finger along Naruto's cheek, leaned forward and said only three words. "Kinetic energy absorption."

Gina turned around abruptly and sauntered back over to her terminal. As she heard Naruto quickly searching through several manuals her smirk became more and more pronounced until finally she heard the sound of her man repeatedly hitting his forehead against the table and softly repeating a mantra that was music to her ears. "Stupid, stupid, stupid!"

'Heh, score's all tied up now babe... it's your move now.' Mita shook her head in amazement at the events that had just occurred and the triumphant smirk on Gina's face.

'Yep, they're definitely made for each other.'
