Pokémon Master Naruto
Chapter One: Naruto's Song: We Will Be Heroes

Naruto

The Forbidden Scroll of Seals: the scroll filled with techniques that had been forbidden for one reason or another.

The Forbidden Scroll of Seals: the scroll I just pretended to steal from Old Man Hokage.

I smirked. "Okay Mizuki-teme, it's time to spring the trap." I hunched over the Scroll, trying to find a good jutsu or three, or four or five, to learn.

The first one was the Shadow Clone Jutsu.

It sounded interesting, so I read the description.

It made solid clones that could actually do jutsus, and everything the clone saw and did came back to the user when the clone dispelled.

Sounded like my kind of technique.

I needed to do a Clone Jutsu to pass anyway, so maybe if I learned it, Iruka-sensei would pass me anyway if I showed it to him (wouldn't that be nice).

With that thought, I got to work on learning the Shadow Clone jutsu.

Time skip— a few hours later

I wiped the sweat off my forehead. "Glad I got that down. Let's see what else is on here."

There was the Exploding Shadow Clone Jutsu, which created clones that exploded. I worked on that one a bit before looking at the second thing on the scroll. There were three balls and a handwritten note from— the Fourth?!

If you're reading this, then you've accepted a challenge that I couldn't meet. These three balls that left the seal hold creatures called Pokémon. I found these three along with the device, called a Pokédex, in some ruins in the mountains of the Land of Fire. From what we learned, they're the last of their kind, or at least in this world. They're said to have powers that are in many ways similar to Shinobi, and in some ways superior. However none of us could summon them. All of us failed the test to see if we were worthy to summon them. Maybe you'll have better luck. Just hold the Pokédex in your hands and it will test you. Best of luck, Namikaze Minato, Konoha's Yellow Flash, the Fourth Hokage.

Doing as I was told, I took the Pokédex in my hands. My life flashed before my eyes.

After a minute, it spoke. "You have endured many hardships, and have come out strong. You have earned the right to be called Trainer, Namikaze Naruto."

I gaped, before the three balls opened on their hinges, and released three beams of white light, which formed three rather large dog like creatures.

"Huh? What are these things? Maybe the Pokédex will have some information." I said, pointing said Pokédex at it to use as a reference.

"Entei." It announced, making me jump out of my skin. "The Volcano Pokémon. Volcanoes erupt when it barks. Unable to contain its sheer power, it races headlong across the land."

"Entei huh?" I muttered. "Okay, let's see about the next one."

"Suicune," The Pokédex continued. "The Aurora Pokémon. Said to be the embodiment of the north wind, it can instantly purify filthy murky water."

"Okay, so we've got Entei, the Volcano Pokémon, and Suicune, the Aurora Pokémon." I repeated. "So then what's the last one?"

I pointed the Pokédex at it again.

"Raikou, the Thunder Pokémon." It announced. "The rain clouds it carries let it fire thunderbolts at will. They said that it descended with lightning."

"So these three are Entei, Sucuine, and Raikou." I recited. "The Volcano, Aurora, and Thunder Pokémon. They look kind of small though."

I looked at the Pokédex for their height and weight, which said that they were supposed to get a little bigger. From the looks of it, they were almost done growing, maybe half way (they were probably about four and a half feet tall, while they'd get about six feet tall).

"So then they must still be growing." I deduced. "Which means that I'm gonna have to get a lot more food. I'm gonna need a bigger apartment too."

"Naruto!" Iruka-sensei bellowed. "Why did you steal the Forbidden Scroll of Seals? Do you have any idea the trouble you're in?"

I snorted. "Sure I do, but I think you should leave now."

Mizuki could be here at any minute, and I didn't want Iruka-sensei getting hurt because of my plan (Jiji had wanted to bust the traitor on the spot, but we needed evidence of wrong doing, and so far, he'd done nothing wrong, so that was why we set this trap up. Besides, I got to learn a new Jutsu in the process, so that was a bonus).

"Look out!" Iruka-sensei cried, shoving me to the ground as a giant shuriken hit the tree near where my head had just been.

I growled. "Mizuki." I spat. "Tricking an Academy student into stealing the Forbidden Scroll of Seals isn't enough for you? Now you want to kill me too?"

"Humph." Mizuki scoffed in a decisively uncaring manner. "So do you want to know why everyone hates you? Why no one likes you?"

I raised an eyebrow. "Alright teme." I decided. "I'll bite. Why does everyone hate me?"

"No Mizuki!" Iruka-sensei shouted. "You can't! It's forbidden!"

"Shut up Iruka!" Mizuki snapped. "Naruto, the reason no one likes you is because the Fourth Hokage did not kill the Kyuubi, so instead he settled for sealing it, into you! The Kyuubi has taken over your body! You are the Kyuubi!"

I froze and for the longest time couldn't bring myself to say anything.

"I'm . . . the Kyuubi?" I managed at last. "The Kyuubi took over my body? I guess I really am a demon like the villagers say I am."

"No you're not!" A voice declared.

I blinked. "Huh? Who said that?"

"Us!" Another voice declared. "You know, your partners."

"Entei! Suicune! Raikou!" I realized. "You're right, I'm not the Kyuubi, and if anything, this teme is closer to being the Kyuubi than I am. Now let's get him! Charge!"

The three of them charged at Mizuki as I made another clone.

"Punch it." I ordered. Music began to play.

Iruka-sensei looked confused. "How's she going to pull this off?" I heard him mutter. I'd never tried fighting to music before, so this was entirely new.

"Another day, another fight.
Another chance to make things right (Pokémon).
We will be strong,
The way it should be,
Ready for the challenge,
You and me."

Ignoring Iruka-sensei's amazed look, I danced around the kunai and shuriken Mizuki threw at me. Just to have some fun, I closed my eyes as Suicune, Entei and Raikou did the same. Together, we all danced to the tune of the music, beating Mizuki up in the process.

"We will be heroes (Pokémon).
We can change the world if we try (Darkrai).
I go where you go (Pokémon),
Forever friends you and I (Darkrai).
We will be heroes (Pokémon)."

I briefly opened my eyes as Raikou shot a thunderbolt at Mizuki, Suicune charged at him, a jet of water enveloping her and Entei roared, a flame coming from his mouth. They all nearly hit Mizuki, but he dodged at the last second. When he started using Genjutsu, I closed my eyes again so they couldn't trick me.

"The moment's right,
The time has come,
For us to stand together as one.
So take my hand and follow me,
'Cause it involves our dest-uh-nee."

I smirked. I was doing pretty good with my eyes closed. I didn't even need to open them to know what the teme was doing. Sensing that Mizuki threw more projectiles at me, I danced backwards to the tune of the last three beats.

"We will be heroes (Pokémon).
We can change the world if we try (Darkrai).
I go where you go (Pokémon),
Forever friends you and I (Darkrai).
We will be heroes (Pokémon)."

I used my Shadow Clones to thoroughly beat Mizuki up, but I wasn't done with him just yet. After all, my song wasn't done yet, thus, the Mizuki beat up fest wasn't done either.

"We will be heroes (Pokémon).
We can change the world if try (Darkrai).
I go where you go (Pokémon),
Forever friends you and I (Darkrai).
We will be heroes (Pokémon).
We will be heroes (Pokémon).
We will be heroes (Pokémon).
We will be heroes . . .
Pokémon."

Finally, the impromptu 'Mizuki beat fest' was over. I grinned at Iruka-sensei, very proud of myself for beating Mizuki up without moving out of tune once. He smiled wearily back at me.

"Nice job Naruto-chan." He complimented. "Hey come over here for just a second, would you?"

I blinked. "Um, okay Iruka-sensei. What for?"

"Just come over here." He commanded. "And close your eyes while you're at it."

I shrugged, went over to my sensei, closing my eyes as I was commanded.

I felt my goggles being removed, and something being tied in its place.

Iruka-sensei told me I could open my eyes.

I looked to see that he didn't have his headband on anymore.

"Congratulations Naruto." He said. "You graduate."
