Here with chapter three of Not Everything Has To Be Ghostly. So far believe it or not I'm enjoying writing this story. And it seems everyone is liking it too. I don't own anything related to Naruto or Danny Phantom, so lets get on with it.
Before I forget though, I'm changing the timeline a bit to where the next chapter took place a little while after Danielle fought the Lunch Lady.
I own nothing.

(The Fenton Family, a few weeks later.)
Jack Fenton, the adult male of the family was doing what he did best. Or at least what he thought he did best. And that was catching Ghosts. What could possibly be his methods on catching these Ghosts? Jack was doing the best thing that he believed would help him capture and experiment on a Ghost.
Jack Fenton was sitting on a chair, dressed in his usual jumpsuit and was wearing a hat on his head that held two soda cans. Two tubes ran from the soda cans which allowed him access to drink the liquid. In his hands though was what looked to be a fishing pole. That's right everyone, the brilliant Jack Fenton was fishing for Ghosts.
It just so happened that at this moment, our favorite Ghost girl was walking down the stairs with her backpack on her shoulders. Danielle looked at her dad, wondering just what crazy idea he had come up with.
"Um dad, what are you?" Danielle didn't even get to finish her question before her father raised his hand to silence her.
"Be quiet Danielle, you're going to scare away the Ghosts" Jack said while Danielle rolled her eyes. Yes her voice was so loud and terrifying that any spectral being would flee from it. She watched as her father gestured towards the pole in his hand. "This is the Fenton Ghost Fisher, it has a line attached to it that no Ghost can escape from should they get ensnared on it" He said proudly before turning back towards the portal.
"Dad I hate to sound skeptical but I highly doubt you're going to catch something with this device."
"No honey don't be such a party pooper, ever since the portal started working. Your mother and I have been determined to use this opportunity to catch a Ghost"
"If you say so"
Suddenly her father's stomach rumbled violently. Danielle gave him a look while he quickly shot to his feet.
"That soda really went right through me" Jack said before forcing the Fenton Ghost Fisher into his daughters hands! "Here take this, I'll be right back after I use the Fenton latrine" With that being said, her father took off up the stairs in a rush.
It seemed fate or whatever you wish to call it enjoyed making Danielle's life complicated. Danielle felt the line on the pole begin to pull violently towards the portal. With as much strength as she could muster, Danielle pulled against the unknown force on the other end of the line.
SNAP!
Danielle watched as the line on her pole dropped to the ground, showing that it had indeed been snapped. Suddenly two transparent and massive claws began reached out of the Ghost Portal. The claws began to pull at the tiled floor of the basement and within moments, in the middle of the Fenton Basement, stood a massive Dragon!
"Shit" Danielle muttered with wide eyes. She had thought Dragons were a myth, a fable told by parents and grandparents to entertain children. Obviously there was some truth to it as she was staring the beast in the eyes.
"I want to go" The Dragon actually spoke to her, grinning the whole time. Danielle did the most logical thing she could think of, she turned around and ran from the beast. Danielle didn't get far though as the massive claw of the Dragon wrapped itself around her much smaller frame. ""I have to go!"
Danielle sighed, it looked like the only option she had left was to fight. And she really had wanted to avoid that option. "Not sure if you'll want too once my dad is finished in there" She said before summoning her powers. In a bright flash, Danielle had morphed into her alter ego, Danielle Phantom.
Danielle turned intangible and phased out of the Dragon's grip. The Ghostly Dragon looked surprised by this before it's eyes narrowed at Danielle. The Dragon took a swipe at Danielle who flew around the massive appendage. Danielle even had to dodge a column of flame the Dragon released from its mouth.
"This is getting out of hand" Danielle muttered before flying top speed at the Dragon. She reared her leg back and with a well executed kick, sent the Dragon flying towards the portal. Danielle missed the golden necklace fall from the Dragon's neck and land into her backpack. Danielle stood floating near the Dragon cautiously, waiting for the creature to make its next move.
Imagine Danielle's surprise when the Dragon looked at him sadly before going through a transformation of its own. The Dragon began to shrink and morph until it took on the form of a… young woman. Danielle could hear the young woman sobbing.
"All I wanted to do was go to the costume ball!" The woman sobbed before looking at Danielle. "But my mommy wouldn't let me" And with those final words, the woman was seemingly dragged back into the portal.
"Um.. I'm sorry" Danielle muttered. Her words reached nobody as it was only her alone in that basement. Danielle reverted back to normal, it would probably be best for her health if her father didn't see her in her Ghost form. As she landed on the floor of the basement, her phone began to ring. Once she picked the device out of her pocket, she smiled a bit at who was calling her.
"Hello" Danielle said, though mentally smacking herself for how lame that sounded.
"Dani, it's good to finally talk to you again. I should apologize for not having called sooner" A bit of a raspy male voice replied on the other end of the phone.
"Oh it's fine, I understand that you've been busy and all with the move. How are you liking the new place by the beach?"
"It's great, sand and the ocean are my view every morning when I wake up" The male replied. "But I do have some good news though, my parents are letting me fly back into town for the week to see you, Tucker and Danny"
"That's great news!" Danielle's grin was almost from ear to ear and a small blush dusted her cheeks. "I can't wait to see you."
"I can't wait to see you either, I miss getting to see you." Danielle could almost hear the smile on the other end of the phone. She figured it wasn't a big one like hers but dammit a small one was better than nothing.
"So.." Danielle began to trail off on her words.
"So?" The male replied.
Danielle sighed. "So there's this dance coming up."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(The next day, with Danny)
Danny yawned slightly as he listened to his teacher, Mr Lancer, drone on and on about some sort of subject he was teaching. Danny didn't really consider it much important at the moment. He was too exhausted to really care. And what might be the reason for his exhaustion?
Well ever since Danny had woken up from his coma, Sasuke had been giving him lessons and drills on training in the Shinobi arts. He had wondered if he should tell his parents about what was going on but he quickly shot that idea down when Sasuke told him not too. His parents might get the crazy idea that he was possessed by some Ghost or going insane. Then again he had the Spirit of an old Shinobi dwelling within him and teaching him techniques that were impossible for regular people. Yeah it was definitely a better option to not let his parents in on his secret training routine.
Everyday after school or when Danny got free time, he would go off into the woods on the outskirts of Amity and practice with his Chakra. So far he hasn't learned any cool Jutsu, the only thing Sasuke had been teaching him was the history of Shinobi and Chakra control exercises. When Danny questioned Sasuke about the history, Sasuke explained it was a good idea to know your origins and where they stem from. To take pride in the generations before you or something like that.
"Kami" Danny heard Sasuke groan from within his mind. "This place is just as boring as the Academy. At least there we learned to develop our Shinobi skills."
'Well not here' Danny thought back to the Uchiha. 'We get the wonderful opportunity to learn about math, chemistry and other wonderful subjects' Sasuke smirked slightly, the kid was a sarcastic ass. He could respect it, when it wasn't directed at him of course. When it was directed at him, he made sure to punish Danny with either a massive migraine or amp up his training.
The rest of school was uneventful, he had finished up Mr Lancer's class, done all his schoolwork and even somehow managed to avoid picking a fight with Dash. Not like he minded anyway, the meat head always had it coming to him. Danny walked out of the school to see Tucker with a frown on his face and a depressing sort of aura shrouding him. Danielle on the other hand looked like she was trying not to laugh at her best friend.
"What did I miss?" Danny asked. Danielle stopped her giggling.
"Poor Tucker here just got rejected for the dance.. again" Danielle said.
"There's a dance?" Danny was surprised that he didn't know about this dance. Then again he rarely paid attention to the little things Casper High offered, it just never appealed to him.
"Of course brother, they announced it like two weeks ago."
"Well you must forgive me if I don't seem that too concerned about a dance, considering my recent awakening from a coma" Danny said simply, noticing the slight flinch Danielle made. He guessed that she blamed herself for the accident that caused him to go in that coma. Danny didn't blame her, hell he loved his little sister and because of it he was able to meet Sasuke. A blessing in disguise one could say. Suddenly the frantic shouting of male students caught their attention.
"Paulina will you go to the dance with me?!" One male shouted.
"Paulina will you be my girlfriend?" Another male voice asked.
"No Paulina is mine!"
Ahh yes, Paulina was the most popular girl in all of Casper High School. She was a Latina with flawless skin and beautiful hair. She dressed in a pink t-shirt with blue jeans. She was a cheerleader and the most wanted female in the school.
Danielle snorted with a huff. "Paulina, sheesh I don't get what the big deal is. She's a dime a dozen."
Both Fentons watched as Tucker suddenly began to furiously dig through his pockets.
"Danny do you have a dime I could borrow from you?" Tucker asked with a smile. Danny snorted at his friends joke, it was cheesy but the Fenton male would give him credit. If there was anything Danny liked it was a witty pun.
Danielle on the other hand just rolled her eyes. "Very funny Tucker."
"Hey dude" Tucker said while looking towards his best friend. "Why don't you ask her out to the dance?"
"As if, why would I want to take Paulina of all people to the dance. She's a total bitch" In another life, Danny Fenton would have been head over heels for Paulina. But this isn't that life. Danny used to have a bit of a crush on Paulina before he found out that she and her best friend had been trying to bully his sister. That instantly killed the feelings he had for the cheerleader. Paulina though had tried to flirt with Danny on more than one occasion. She found it attractive when he stood up to Dash and the other bullies of the school and Danny wasn't bad in the looks department. But with every attempt, Danny shut her down. The girl was persistent though; he'd give her that.
The old saying ran true though, speak of the devil and the devil shall appear. Paulina approached the three.
"Hello Danny" She said with a smile. Usually this smile would melt the hearts of other men. But then again Danny wasn't like other men.
"Paulina" Danny said curtly. His sister and Tucker watched the interaction between the two intently, to see what would happen.
"I'm glad to see you're out of the hospital. How are you feeling?" Paulina asked.
"I appreciate that and as for how I'm feeling, eh getting right back into school probably wasn't my best idea" Danny said before he sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "But we both know you didn't come over here to make small talk Paulina."
"Very clever of you Fenton" Paulina said, smirk still in place.
"What do you want?"
"For you to go with me to the upcoming dance" Paulina said. The way she said it though made it sound like Danny should feel honored or something by her request.
"I'm sorry but I'd like to take a rain check on that" With those very words, it caused the smile on Paulina's face to vanish.
"Why so?"
"Because I have better things to do"
"Really now?" Paulina asked skeptically.
"Yes"
"Do you have a girlfriend you need to see?"
"No" Danny replied, getting a bit annoyed that he was being practically interrogated by Paulina. Meanwhile on the inside, Sasuke found the situation to be amusing. While Danny didn't have as many fangirls as he did in his time, Danny understood his suffering a bit.
"A boyfriend?" Paulina asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I don't swing that way Paulina" Danny said, his voice laced with irritation.
"Then why won't you go to the dance with me?!"
"Because I don't fucking like you!" Danny screamed at her before turning his back to the Cheerleader. "And again like I said, I have more important things to do" With that Danny began to make his way home with Danielle and Tucker following right along. It was true, Danny did have other thing going on. He just failed to mention it was more vigorous training from Sasuke.

(A few hours later)
Danny had managed to ditch his family thankfully. He was ready to see what the ancient Shinobi within had to teach him today. Currently right now Danny was standing on top of a beautiful lake. Practicing a Chakra control exercise known as Water Walking. Never in Danny's wildest dreams did he believe he would ever walk on water. Yet here he was, his feet firmly planted on the watery surface as if it was like a regular ground. Surrounding Danny was a forest, this place was well concealed and outside the limits of Amity Park, total privacy.
"So what's the plan for today Sasuke-sensei?" Danny asked the ancient being.
"Well brat I was thinking, I've had you work on Chakra Control for the last few weeks now. And I can tell you've been getting bored with the Chakra Control and History lessons" Sasuke said and Danny could almost feel the smirk on his teacher's face.
Don't get me wrong Sasuke-sensei, using my Chakra to stick leaves to my body, walking on trees and even water. It's been an awesome experience! But with all the cool stuff you've told me Chakra can do, I'd just really like to try it myself." Danny said, he didn't want to sound unappreciative towards his sensei. He heard Sasuke chuckle from within his mind.
"Trust me Danny, I know almost better than anybody the drive to improve. The desire to learn new techniques as fast as possible, I will admit though I'm a bit thankful you're not as arrogant as I was in my youth. Otherwise I probably wouldn't be training you" Sasuke replied back. How Kakashi-Sensei ever put up with him back when he was going through his revenge phase is beyond him.
"So what techniques will you be teaching me?"
"I've actually thought of four techniques that I'm going to teach you"
"Four techniques?!" Danny thought back in surprise. He was expecting one but to hear he was actually going to receive four techniques! He was excited! Sasuke shook his head, the first three techniques were the ones you needed to know in order to graduate the Academy. Yet since this era knew nothing of Chakra, Danny was still probably going to find these techniques pretty cool.
"Alright the techniques you'll be learning is the Kawarimi Jutsu, Bunshin Jutsu, Transformation Jutsu and the final one is the most important. At least I see it that way. The final Jutsu is a trademark of the Uchiha clan, the Gokakyu Jutsu or in your language, The Great Fireball technique." Sasuke replied.
Danny whistled slightly in amazement and his hands shook slightly with anticipation. After all those little Chakra control exercises, it was time now to finally start learning some cool techniques!
"Alright cool! So how do I perform these Jutsu?" Danny wondered.
"Well unlike me usually telling you how to do things, like I regularly would when it came to you practicing Chakra control. I'll send the information on how to execute the hand signs to your brain. You just need to have your body do the rest gaki."
Inside Danny's mind, Sasuke flared his Chakra a bit and sent the flux of information to his descendant. On the outside though, Danny stumbled a bit and clutched his head as the surge of information hit him. From the way Danny bit back some colorful choice words, it seemed the process wasn't the most gentle of ways.
"You didn't say it would cause such a migraine." Danny said as the pain in his cranium started to fade. Though on the bright side, he now knew how to execute the hand signs for each technique.
"You never asked."
"Asshole" Danny muttered before silencing the connection between sensei and student. He needed complete focus if he was going to execute these techniques correctly. Within moments, his hands started moving rapidly and performing signs that he hadn't known how to do minutes ago.

(Later that evening)
All three Fenton children were at the dinner table while their parents were unsurprisingly absent. Danny guessed that they were downstairs working on some Ghost related invention. Danielle was too busy brooding about her lil run in with Paulina today to really care. The Popular girl purposely bumped into her and knocked her on the ground. The female Halfa figured it was in a way payback for her brother rejecting her shallow self. Then Paulina had taken a necklace that had seemingly fallen from her bag, Danielle wasn't one for jewelry but that damn thing looked real familiar.
Jazz was sitting at the dinner table, her favorite Psychology book in hand. Her task was focusing on the book itself and maybe choosing the college she'd like to attend one day.
The front door of the Fenton household flew open and all three heard their parents enter the room in what seemed to be an excited haste.
"Kids we have great news!" Their mother said with a smile.
"Really now?" Danny asked, he put the sandwich he had been eating back on his plate before looking at his parents. "And what's the big news, not another Fenton kid coming right?"
"No Danny-boy, the Fenton baby maker hasn't been uh.. put to use as of late" Jack said, while sending subtle glances towards Maddie. Before Maddie could respond, Jazz decided to speak up.
"As nauseating as that sentence was dad, I'm more curious about the news!"
All three Fenton children looked at their mom.
"We're chaperoning your school dance!" Maddie said with a smile. Her smile faded a bit because she hadn't received the reaction she had been expecting. Both Jazz and Danielle looked mortified while Danny didn't seem to care in the slightest.
"Um no" Jazz was the first one to say something.
"Not going to happen!" Danielle replied, not wanting to think about the tragedy that would befall her already low reputation at Casper High if her parents chaperoned the dance.
"Your teacher was the one who offered us the position, um honey what was his name?" Jack asked.
"Mr. Lancer sweety"
"Ah yes, Mr. Lancer was the one who asked us to be Chaperones for the dance. He also mentioned something about getting to see the rest of the Fenton family" Jack said.
It didn't take a genius to figure out what that meant. Danny and Danielle knew that Mr. Lancer, while their favorite teacher, was strict on them. Danielle had no doubt he had their best intentions in mind. But actually having Mr. Lancer and her parents in the same room, well it was a frightening thought.
Maddie suddenly turned towards her eldest son. "So who are you taking to the dance honey?"
Danny snorted while crossing his arms over his chest. "Nobody because I'm not going."
"Oh yes you are!"
"No"
"Honey you need to socialize and get out more. Most of the time after school you just run off somewhere." Maddie said.
"I do get out mom."
"I mean be with people your own age!"
"I've got Tucker as my friend and Mrs. Know it all over there" He said that last part while pointing at Jazz. His older sister rolled her eyes at him and stuck her tongue out in a childish manner. Danny chuckled slightly.
"Your going and that's final" Maddie said with all the parental authority she could muster. Danny gritted his teeth but knew better than to argue with his mom. Yes they'd had their clashes in the past but his mother always seemed to win somehow. And he could have sworn in the back of his mind he heard Sasuke laughing at him. Maddie smiled at seeing her son back down and planted a kiss on his forehead. She then turned to Danielle.
"So who are you going with sweety?" Maddie asked. She ignored the grumbling of Jack about how his precious baby shouldn't be taking a boy.
"Nobody mom." Danielle asked. Though Jazz was the one to notice the faint blush on her sisters cheeks and the way she seemed to want to avoid this conversation.
"Liar" Jazz said with a smirk. "Your mouth says one thing, but your body language is telling a whole different story"
"Who is it Danielle?" Jack asked sternly, wondering who he'd have to threaten if he hurt his baby girl.
Danielle muttered the reply.
"Who sweety, speak up please" Maddie said.
"It's Gaara okay" Danielle said while Jazz's smirk grew as if she knew the answer.
Suddenly Danny felt nauseous and stumbled a bit. Small beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. "Excuse me for a moment." With that Danny took off towards his room. As soon as he reached his room, he looked in the mirror to see Sasuke standing in the reflection along side him.
"Who did your sister just say she's taking to the dance?" Sasuke asked.
"His name's Gaara, an old friend that we used to hang with before he moved away a few months ago. His parents came into a bit of money so now they own some beach house by the ocean." Danny replied to his sensei. Meanwhile Sasuke was looking at his pupil, it couldn't be possible could it? Could the former Kage of the Hidden Sand Village really have reincarnated himself. And if it was true, then why now of all times? Sasuke had to confirm a few things.
"Does he have red hair, kind of spiked out? Maybe black rings around his eyes and a strange tattoo above one of them as well? Walk around with a gourd?" Sasuke asked.
"Red spiked out hair, yes. Black rings around eyes and strange tattoo above one of them, you get a yes there too sensei. As for the gourd question, I can't say I have seen him with one" Danny replied. "How do you know all that about Gaara? Did you go through my memories or something?"
Instead of replying, Sasuke began to shake his head. Things were about to get interesting indeed. Was this the same Gaara he remembered from his time or would his reincarnation know anything about his past life? He had to find out.
"Danny"
"Yes sensei?"
"I think it'd be a good idea for you to go to this dance"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
With that being said, I've decided I'll end the chapter here. Finally got home and got this thing finished. I'll continue on with the Dragon episode in the next chapter. Things aren't finished here, not by a long shot. Now I bet your wondering when Danny might unlock the Sharingan. Let me just say it won't be until the right episode hits. And so on and so forth.
