Hello readers! I would like to thank Kingdom Infinity and pikachucat for reviewing the previous chapter plus Jazz for doing so twice as well as Tetradrive for favoriting in addition to following! Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!

Thanks pikachucat! (:

Yep! All bets SURE are placed on them Jazz! :D

I agree; that IS hilarious! Poor Zorua! He didn't know what he was saying! :3

The thing is though, Zorua was simply shocked that they were living together; being as young as he is, he didn't realize that people of the same gender could share the same roof permanently even if they aren't family. C:

As much as I LOVE akuroku, I can't make them official in the Two Worlds Collide series due to some...closed-minded people out there. That's ALSO why SasuNaru isn't official here. Flames in my shounen-ai stories should be more than enough explanation. I don't want to lose readers due to relationships even though this story is all about fighting and friendships. Just saying. /:

Your interpretation if there's anything between them! J:

Yehey indeed! Ü

It SURE is! :1

Thanks! ^_^

I'm certain that it's your aura! n_n

Next time?! In a few weeks?! NOO! DX

Yay! I'm glad you decided to drop by before leaving! WOO! XD

I'm glad you like that part from the previous chapter! I wonder when too? :P

I agree! Mothers are VERY protective of their young! :I

What nice days! :D

You'll see! ^o^

By the way, can you please review EVERY chapter that you will miss?! I REALLY love reading your reviews. They are the primary reason I'm even still writing despite all the work I have to do for it and little appreciation I get! Thanks! (:

Thanks for the chat! I'll reply to your review in the next chapter of Of Thirty-One Days! See you then! ;)

The String Shot wrapped around the ninjas' dominant hands, trapping them together. "NANI?!"

The pair came crashing down as their trajectories clashed, unable to move ahead. Once the shock of the situation had passed, the shinobi slowly turned to face the bind, eyes becoming saucers at the incredulous sight.

"What in the world just happened?!" Naruto screamed as he yanked his right arm only to take his partner with him, not budging at all.

Sasuke scowled. "Those two tricked us into being near enough for Zorua to tie our wrists together in order to hinder us." He then extracted a kunai, channeling electricity into it. He brought the tool to the ropes, sawing it back and forth but to no avail. The raven growled, activating his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. A stream of blood flowed from his left pupil as he stared at the silk. "Amaterasu!" The fetters were ignited in pitch-black flames only for them to be immediately extinguished. "What?!"

"AHH! TEME!" The Uzumaki shrieked, pure panic written on his features. "Are you trying to burn us alive?!"

The accused scoffed. "I can put it out at will, remember dobe?" His expression became solemn. "Why did Amaterasu fail?"

"That's because just as I unleashed that String Shot, I used Role Play to copy the Flash Fire Tsutaaja had retained when I was Kyuukon." The 'frog' grinned. "I managed to transfer that ability into the threads; in other words, the so called 'flames that can burn through anything' are useless against that binding!"

The squamata joined in. "And since at the time of use Zorua was a bug-type due to Protean, the resulting STAB made the binding stronger!"

"Don't give us that; we need to break free!" The blond created a Rasenshuriken in one of his chakra limbs, bringing the whirling blades down only for nothing to change even in the slightest. "What the—"

The sable snarled. "Idiot! Are you trying to chop our hands off?!"

"You're one to talk Mister-I-Was-About-To-Burn-Us-To-Ashes!" The flaxen countered, both getting into each other's faces at that.

The 'amphibian' was extremely smug as he watched them argue. "I put a lot of strength into that move; that String Shot is so powerful that only the creator can break it!"

"My boy is growing up so nicely!" Zoroark cried, tears of joy pouring out. "He's very strong now!"

Axel smirked. "It's not over yet you know. However, with those ninjas stuck together, the Pokémon have gained a huge advantage!"

"Plus disunity has increased between." Roxas added.

The audience was in absolute shock; they just couldn't believe what had happened. "You brats! You can't let it end like this!" Tsunade's voice echoed throughout the building, snapping the pair out of their quarrel. "If you lose this too soon, THEN YOU'LL REGRET IT! THIS IS A TEST OF SKILL, REMEMBER?! WHAT KIND OF SKILLS CAN YOU DISPLAY IF YOU ARE TAKEN OUT OF COMISSION BEFORE YOU DISPLAY THEM?!" The entire stadium had to cover their ears at that, the screaming causing the foundation to quake.

"Baa-chan's right teme!" The tawny exclaimed as he addressed his teammate. "We can't afford to lose right now!"

The onyx nodded at that, agreeing. "Hn." The two suddenly began running in the opposite direction, trying to rip the bind apart.

"That won't work either!" At that moment, the metamorphose shifted into a small creature resembling a white ice cream cone containing blue eyes and crystals throughout his body sporting two short limbs, advancing on them. "With a -58 degrees breath, you won't be able to move!"

"Like I'll let you!" The Jinchūriki sent out a multitude of ethereal hands, making to swat the 'sprite' away only for... "Nani?!" ...a pit to land dead-center on his back, mistletoe rapidly growing as it wrapped its shoots around its host, draining energy. Unable to be maintained, the extensions vanished as the golden aura faded. The victim was astonished beyond words. "Why did Kurama Mode vanish?!"

The serpent smirked. "The Leech Seed I launched absorbs your power and gives it to me. Because of that, you are no longer able to sustain it."

"Oh crap!" The flustered turned back to the rapidly approaching foe, panic overtaking him. "I DON'T WANT TO FREEZE!" He ran away from the 'frozen being', taking his partner with him.

The Uchiha directed a death glare at the Uzumaki as he was being dragged along. "YOU IDIOT! STOP! STOP!" Infuriated, Sasuke kicked a leg forward, catching Naruto's foot and tripping him.

"What was that for?!" The blond growled as he landed on top of his rival, snarling.

The addressed was seething. "You didn't stop when I told you to you brain-dead moron!"

"BRAIN-DEAD?!" The insulted screamed. "YOU B—"

"Now's not the time to be aruging." The snake smirked before inhaling deeply, a chilling wind escaping her lungs as an Ice Beam rained down from the other.

"Tch." It was the sable's turn to get up, forcefully pulling the flaxen across the ground.

Fury ignited in the tawny's features. "TEME! IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE REVENGE FOR EARLIER?!"

"Maybe." That word did nothing to reassure the questioner.

The Pokémon were hot on their trail, relentlessly pursuing them. The two then split up, aiming for a pincer attack. The creatures had the pair cornered, them unable to escape.

"YOU BRATS! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR TEAMWORK FROM EARLIER?!"

The deafening roar snapped some sense back into the ninjas. "We can't keep fighting between ourselves!"

The stoic grunted. "You're right for once." Pausing, the ebon allowed his friend to stand up. Their fingers morphed into different seals before touching, clasping together without even having to be told.

Their opponents surrounded them from both sides, the reptile unleashing a torrent of biting cold which burned upon impact as a Blizzard raged from the metamorphose. The twin assaults collided into their targets, a frosty explosion ensuing. The audience was silent as they witnessed the spectacle.

"Is that all?" Tsutaaja crossed her arms.

The 'sprite' grinned. "They couldn't have withstood this!"

"Are you sure about that?"

"Don't count us out!"

A collective gasp rang out as the dust had cleared, revealing the shinobi unscathed...amongst a whole crowd of them. The disguised was shocked. "But how?!"

"I thought we struck you both dead-on!" The snake hissed.

The raven smirked. "I used the Kawarimi no Jutsu to create a replacement to take the brunt of the offense just before it could strike." As if on cue, a puff of smoke abruptly appeared, a frozen log emerging from the cloud.

"But that doesn't explain why there's so many of you two!" The fox yipped.

The Jinchūriki shrugged. "I simply used my Kage Bunshin no Jutsu to create a lot of clones."

The verdant was confused as she scanned the facsimiles. "Then why are there Sasuke replicas among them too?!"

"What the?! Really?!" Upon gazing at the bunch, he realized at she was right. Zorua swiveled to the tanned, astonished at the feat. "I thought you were the one to use that technique, not Sasuke!"

The boy grinned, a malefic glint in his orbs. "When we brought our hands together, our chakras mixed; that's why I was able to create clones of him as well."

"Wait!" The squamata's eyes widened. "Then does that mean—"

"That the clones are enchanced with Katon and Raiton?" The sable interjected, smug. "Precisely."

The serpent tched. "This just got a lot harder for us."

"What a comeback!" Axel voiced out, impressed.

Roxas nodded in agreement. "It's time for the counterattack!"

"It better not be too intense though..." The Nobodies sweat-dropped; a mother's love cannot be compared to anything else.

The 'cone' snarled. "I can't let them move!" Another flurry was released, catching all of his opponents in it. "Succes—"

"You were saying?" A grand gust blasted out in addition to many large fireballs, the natures melding into a wave which melted the snow.

The reptile was stunned. "Daitoppa and Gōkakyū...I guess those two can still combine their powers into one; how troublesome."

"Despite this bind, we can still perform combination attacks!" The tanned grinned. The remaining flames still existed due to the oxygen, burning the parasites off of the afflicted's backs. The original sighed in relief before glancing at his teammate. "That Leech Seed was really getting to be a bother; I'm glad it's gone now. Thanks Sasuke!"

The addressed shrugged as if it was no big deal, yet the red tinging his cheeks belied his supposed indifference. "Hn." He suddenly smirked. "Enough talk!" His lips morphed into a sinister curve as his next words came out. "It's time for revenge!" In that instant, the entire group leapt, heading straight for the Pokémon.

"We need to switch to a new strategy." As the snake said that, a ball of purple sludge compounded with a Gunk Shot formed between her arms before it was launched, aimed precisely at the advancing foes.

The listener nodded in agreement as he morphed back into Gekkōga. "I got it!" He took out a pink heart-shaped morsel before proceeding to consume it, inhaling deeply as soon as he had finished. "TAKE THIS!" The 'frog' burped loudly, the residual gas flying out of his mouth.

"Eww!"

"Gross!"

The viewers couldn't help but be disgusted at the stench. The assassin pinched his nose as he waved the air in front of him. "Was that necessary?"

"What was that?!" The samurai groaned as the smell overtook him.

The mother grinned, seeming to not be affected by the odor. "That was Belch, a poison-type move with a power of 120%." She smirked. "Don't play my son off as a fool; that was a really strong attack!"

The botulin merged, the toxic cloud enveloping the shinobi. Immediately, Zoroark created a Wide Guard to prevent the bystanders from falling ill.

The 'frog' smiled smugly. "Could they have withstood that?"

"Don't underestimate me!" Shocked, the creatures swiveled toward the source of the voice; the pairs emerged, the ravens leading each one as the blonds covered their orifices. "Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!" The Pokémon Protected themselves just in time, avoiding getting charred.

The 'amphibian' sighed in relief. "Whew."

"Don't be so sure." The serpent watched as the blaze spread over the field, neutralizing the chemicals. She snarled. "That was Sasuke's true goal: to make the air breathable again for Naruto."

The 'ranidae' quirked a brow. "But how was Sasuke unaffected by all that poison?"

"Orochimaru made me immune to most poisons, including the ones used just earlier; in other words, your 'new strategy' was useless." The unharmed responded in an arrogant manner.

The ectotherm glared. "But what about Naruto?" As if on cue, the flaxens dropped onto the ground, coughing heavily.

"I might have not breathed them in, but I'm still affected teme!" The ailed screamed.

The accused huffed. "Don't make such a big deal of this, dobe." The Uchihas dug into their pockets, extracting a certain fruit. "Eat this."

"...Thanks." He accepted the offering, gobbling it down. Immediately, the boy was cured.

"To think Bunshin also have their supplies replicated..." The shifter humphed before leering at his partner. "Thanks a lot for telling them about Pecha Berries."

She shrugged. "It was useful information; besides, how was I supposed to know that this was going to happen?"

"...Good point." The metamorphose reluctantly admitted.

A throat was cleared, drawing their attention back to their opponents. "Now that that's over with...CHARGE!" The ninjas sped towards the two, launching a barrage.

"GŌKEN!" All of them readied balled their hands, putting a lot of force into the slugs. However, their targets utilized their Double Teams, creating a multitude of mirages which concealed their creators.

The humans attacked all of them, dispelling all of the illusions yet their origins were nowhere to be found. "Where did they go? I can't sense them anymore!" The flaxen swiveled his head from side to side, attempting to find their targets.

"Keep an eye out." The teammates searched the area with their gazes, confused as to why there were twin puddles on the terrain all of a sudden. "Something's fishy—"

As if on cue, the fluids emerged from the earth, taking on the shapes of the creatures who then cannoned at their adversaries in ExtremeSpeed, catching them both by surprise. Dual Mach Punches were delivered immediately before identical fists of vast concentration struck the main pair, knocking them back a considerable distance.

The sable was a bit stunned. "How did you do that?"

"We used Acid Armor to liquify ourselves to avoid you both until the moment was right." The verdant shrugged as if it was no big deal.

Roxas was astonished. "I remember Tsutaaja used something like that against me!"

"Not bad!" Axel awed.

Zoroark beamed. "What a strategy!"

"Mada mada!" The duplicates surrounded their quarry, ready to pounce. "Raikō Shishi Rendan!"

"U!"

"ZU!"

"MA!"

"KI!"

The bunch closed in on them, cornering the intended. "NARUTO RENDAN!" The quarry attempted to elude them but to no avail; there were simply too many to dodge. Despite being trapped together, the boys were in sync, their movements mingling. While being kicked around, the duo searched for openings in their combos only to find none; they covered each other's weaknesses.

Being able to make a bit of space between their assaulters at last, the snake then spoke to her partner. "There's only one way to escape this; for now, store energy and prepare to Counter. On my mark."

"I got it." The shifter nodded in understanding. The shinobi ganged up on the pair once more, beating them up severely. The victims endured however, waiting for the right moment.

After a partially potent blow, the reptile cried out. "NOW!" The Bide that had been waiting was unleashed along with an orange force, both strong enough to sweep the assaulters off their feet. Taking advantage of the opportunity, the verdant dispelled the Shadow Clones via her Power Whips as a Hydro Cannon slammed into the true foes, knocking them onto their backs. The grass-type ignored the electrocution she had received from the enchanted replicas as she observed their originals' next actions.

"Chidori Nagashi!" The swift current of electricity prevented the Pokémon from drawing near as the ninjas stood up, regaining their composure before charging again. "Chidori Eisō!"

"Rasengan!" The four fought, the humans lashing out at their targets as the snake and 'frog' countered by Close Combat as well as Superpower respectively. The battle was intense as neither was able to easily land a hit, dealing minimal damage.

The boys managed to leap, getting some room to move freely as their hands met once more. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" A countless number of duplicates appeared in clouds of smoke which nearly blocked the sun, the facsimilies raining down.

"I'll take care of the clones; go after the real ones!" Tsutaaja hissed.

The 'amphibian' nodded before jumping high into the air. "Wakatta!"

"Katon: Gōryūka no Jutsu!"

"Fūton: Renkūdan!"

The draconic flames fueled by the wind bullets came pouring down, aiming straight for the reptile. "LIKE I'LL LET IT END LIKE THIS!" The ground roared as Earth Power erupted from it, followed by Precipice Blades and Stone Edge. The counter collided into the conflagration, neutralizing it.

Meanwhile, the 'ranidae' confronted the sources, clashing with them. "Hold still!" The 'anura' threw his fists wildly, attempting to make contact only for the two to constantly dodge, perfectly in sync as they advoided each try. Frustration built up as the shifter just couldn't succeed.

"Like we'll let you!" The Uchiha scoffed.

The Uzumaki grinned. "We haven't lost yet!"

"Oh yeah!" Violet claws formed at Zorua's fingertips, him bringing it down at them.

Axel's eyes widened in shock. "What is he doing?!"

"This won't end well!" Roxas seconded.

Zoroark covered her face, unable to watch what was to occur. "Don't do it!"

"Don't do what?!" But it was too late.

Tsutaaja couldn't help but face-palm at that. "You!"

Seizing the opportunity, Sasuke and Naruto thrusted their bounded hands at the Night Slash, the threads tearing apart.
