Chapter 1
"Damn, I still can't get it right just like Sasuke," complained a spiky haired boy.
We find the spiky haired boy walking toward his favorite ramen stand after taking a break from training. The boy in question has blonde spiky hair, blue eyes, three whisker marks on each cheeks, slight tan skin and seem to be ten years old. He was also wearing a white shirt, blue shorts, and blue sandals. The boy is named Naruto Uzumaki, son of Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze a.k.a the fourth Hokage, and the jinchuuriki of the nine tailed fox. Right now, Naruto is taking a break from trying to copy the same shuriken trick from the ninja academy. So far, he was frustrated at the fact that he couldn't get it right but he decided to try it again after eating some ramen. As he sit on the stool inside of his favorite ramen stand and ordered his ramen, he was unaware of a pair of eyes are watching him from around the corner.
As he was not aware that someone or something was watching him, Naruto continue to talk to the chief Teuchi and his daughter Ayame for the day. After a few minutes of talking to the two about his day, Teuchi placed Naruto's ramen in front of him. As Naruto reached for a pair of chopsticks, he soon felt something hit him to the side near his ribs. The hit was strong enough to knock him to the floor and hit his head on the wall. Naruto slowly got back to his feet while shaking out the slight dizziness. After he got rid of the dizziness in his head, he finally hear some slurping coming from where his ramen was placed. Naruto looked over to where his ramen is to find something there eating his ramen.
"HEY THAT'S MY RAMEN," yelled an angry Naruto as he continue to look at the thing that is eating his ramen.
The thing in question looked up from eating the ramen to look at Naruto. The thing seem to be a small creature with brown fur, with the tip of its bushy tail and its large furry collar are cream-colored. It has short, slender legs with three small toes and a pink paw pad on each foot. It also has brown eyes, long pointed ears, and a small black nose. And in its mouth was a single noodle hanging out. Naruto yelled at it again and try to grab it, but it quickly slurp the noodle into it's small mouth and jumped off the counter. After it landed on the ground, it quickly ran away with Naruto going after it. However when he turned the corner, he already lost it inside the crowd of people. So he went back to the ramen stand and check to see how much of his ramen is still left. When he got back and checked his ramen, he found that all that was left was the fishcake, the egg, the beef, and the broth.
"THAT THING ATE ALL THE NOODLES," yelled Naruto as he cry anime tears while not realizing that Teuchi and Ayame have watched the whole thing.
-Time Skip: Three years later-
We find a thirteen year old Naruto wearing his kill me orange jumpsuit walking toward his favorite stand as he try to get his mind off something. Normally it would be another rejection from his crush Sakura or his angry at Sasuke. But the thing that is on his mind is the little creature that had ate his ramen. He still remember that whenever he eats at the stand, the creature would always attack him then eat all the noodles before running off. He once watched it take the bowl with the ramen inside and run off with it without spilling a drop. And every time he chased after it, he would always lose sight of it in a crowd. Naruto slowly reached his neck as he remember one time where he tried to name it after his crush Sakura right after he caught it and that didn't end well. It almost bite his throat and ended up chasing him all over the village. The chase ended when Naruto jumped into a pound to only find out that it is part of the Yamanaka garden when he saw Ino's dad walk into said garden to see what the splash was.
After that he hasn't seen it much, that is until after team seven was formed. Now not only does it appear when he eats ramen, it'll also come around when its team meeting and stay until the missions for that day is over. The only reason it stayed that long is that it was taking a nap on his head, that is after trying to attack Sakura for waking it up from its nap with her yelling at Kakashi. But Naruto always managed to hold the small creature from actually attacking his crush. The spiky blonde ended up naming it Rika during the time it would nap on his head just to be able to spar with Sasuke. For some reason it seem to listen to him when he call it Rika.
"Hello Naruto," said the cheerful tone of Ayame as she greeted him.
"Huh, oh hey Ayame-nee-san," said Naruto after snapping out of his thoughts and smile.
Naruto sit down while not noticing Sasuke is there eating ramen with tomatoes in it along with not seeing a small creature down near Sasuke's feet eating a piece of cooked beef. Naruto quickly ordered his ramen and sat down while calling out a hiding Rika to come over so that they can share the ramen. Naruto turned to the left to see Rika runs up to him before jumping onto his lap. Naruto smiles and finally notice that Sasuke was there as well and asked him why he was there. Sasuke just answered that it's the only other place that he can hide from the fangirls. Naruto sweat drop at this as he didn't notice his ramen was placed infant of him and Rika quickly started to eat it.
"Maybe I don't have to worry about Rika eating all the noodles this time," thought Naruto as he turn his head and see an empty bowl along with a satisfied Rika.
"YOU AT ALL OF IT RIKA," yelled Naruto as he glared at Rika.
Rita looked at him and smiled before quickly taking the last tomato that is inside the ramen bowl that Sasuke was eating and ran off with is. After seeing this, Naruto and Sasuke paid for their meal before quickly going after Rika with the small creature already running next to Sasuke. Naruto was yelling at Rika to come and face her punishment for eating all of the ramen. Sasuke was running after her to get the tomato that he was going to eat before back from her. Since Rika had a head start on the three, she quickly turned a corner. Thinking that he might lost sight of her quickly, Naruto soon heard Sasuke tell someone named Leo to catch up to her. Naruto was a little by that and was about to asked who was Leo when he notice the small creature next to Sasuke as it speed ahead of them. The creature had dark brown fur with pale brown fur on its paws, ears, the tip of its tail, and face. It also had a reddish orange tuft between it's ears and the nose was the same color as the tuft. The tip of the tail seem to be in a shape of a tear drop.
"Sasuke, when did you have that," asked a curious Naruto as the two keep running as Leo turned the corner.
"Three years ago, for some reason it stayed with me," that was all Sasuke could answer as Rika and Leo came running the corner that they just turned.
The two small creatures kept running and even ran past Naruto and Sasuke as the two stopped running. Both genins blinked as the Rika and Leo continue to run before turning to the corner just in time to see a horde of girls coming their way. It didn't take a genius to figure out what had happened as it seem Rika ran into these girls and started running from them. And the sad part is that these girls happened to be Sasuke's fangirls, so now Sasuke and Naruto are running from them like their lives depends on it. As they ran, they were able to catch up to Leo as it seem that both Leo and Rika split to get away from the fangirls. So, doing the same thing as Rika; Naruto soon found a near by alley and ran into it while wishing Sasuke's and Leo's survival. Naruto could already tell that Sasuke along with Leo have tick marks on their heads.
-Few hours later-
We now find Naruto looking around the village for Rika since he refuse to give up finding the little ramen theft. Although, Naruto have met with the other rookie 12 except for Sakura. He found out that they too have strange creatures with them with them being different. He first met with Kiba at his clan home who was playing with Akamaru and a puppy that seem to be slightly bigger that Akamaru. Its fur was orange with black strips on the back and legs, fur on its muzzle, chest, belly, and tail is cream-colored, as well as an additional tuft of fur on top of its head, and two notable claws on its front paws. When he talked to Kiba about the puppy along with if he seen Rika, Kiba explained about finding Tiko in an abandoned tree stump three years ago and decide to keep Tiko. He also told Naruto that they haven't seen Rika at all. So, Naruto went back to his search.
He soon ran into Shikamaru and Choji on a grassy hill. He notice that the Nara was taking a nap with what seem to be baby deer with its face, legs and belly being cream white, pink fur on its back and ears, and a yellow flower like thing between its ears. It was laying next to Shikamaru sleeping with him while Choji and a creature with mist green fur covering its hole body except for the bottom half of its face and a small circle in the middle of its chest that seem to be connected to the lower part of its face, were both eating bbq potato, Naruto even sweat drop at how in-sync the two eats were but got over it as he as them if they seen Rika at all. Shikamaru racked one eye open as the baby deer lifted it head up to look at the blonde. Naruto re-gain his sweat drop as both Nara and baby deer looked at him with bored looks before the deer went back to sleep with Shikamaru saying that he agree that its troublesome and called it Kai before going back to sleep. Choji was nice enough to answer Naruto's question that they have seen Rika at all.
He soon left the four alone and went back to searching. He soon decided to look in the forest without realizing that he was in Shino's clan forest. The only way he realized that was Shino appearing being him while asking why he's there. Naruto jumped and looked at Shino and saw a big purple centipede with its thorax and head are mainly magenta with black markings that consist of rings on its shoulders, a band around each antenna, and an upside-down 'Y' on its neck. A prominent ridge leading down to a pointed tip splits the top half of its head, and its lower jaw is black. It has round, heavy-lidded eyes that bulge away from the head slightly. It also has a dark green abdomen is segmented, it has four pairs of stubby black legs, and two short feelers at the end of its back.
Naruto could feel the thing glaring at him with those eyes but not until Shino calmed it down while calling it Dokuko. Shino asked Naruto his question again, which Naruto answered that he was looking for Rika. Shino told him that his friend wasn't here and that he hasn't seen her either. Naruto thanked him before leaving the forest and back to the village. As he make his way back to the village he ran into team nine training without Guy. Naruto noticed that the three weren't alone as he noticed the four creatures with them. The one with Ten-Ten seem to look like a sword that is floating and blocking all the weapon using ninja's attacks. The two with lee seem looked exactly the same both skins were light purple with the feet and butt were covered in brown looking shorts and shoes. They also had three fingers, a moharking spikes on it head, and bandages around their wrists and lower body. And all three were doing push ups with Lee counting in the 300s.
The last one was with Neji seem to have a yellow fur, with round ears, red eyes, and a pink nose with a whisker on each side. Its has arms that look similar to flared sleeves, and the paws are yellow. Its chest has a small red band, and its pelt piles around its thighs resembling a robe. Its legs are red, and its yellow tail is also tipped red. Naruto can see that the two were sparing what look like the gentle fist with Neji not using his byakugan. He decided that it wouldn't to ask them if they have seen Rika before they started training. Both Lee and Tenten told him that they haven't seen her while gave Naruto a clue with seeing it being fed by Hinata in the park. Naruto quickly told them thanks for helping before running for the park.
When he has gotten to the park, he saw Hinata there playing with what he thought was Rika. So, without thinking he ran over there and tackled "Rika". Naruto was smiling as he finally got the ramen theft that is until Hinata asked him what was he doing with Kohaku. Naruto blinked and looked at the creature that he thought was Rika but soon found out that it wasn't her but a different one. It almost seemed like a fox with red-brown pelt, brown, pupil-less eyes, large, pointed ears with dark brown insides, and six orange tails with curled tips. It also has three orange curled tips between the ears and it seem to be glaring at him. Before Naruto could do or say anything, Kohaku blew fire right in his face for a little bit before stopping to show a coal color faced Naruto. Naruto then let go of Kohaku and processed to pass out from the burn.
It took only a few minutes for the spiky blonde to wake up to see Hinata scold Kohaku for burning someone. Naruto made himself known by chuckling to which made Hinata blush and stuttered as Kohaku simply look at Naruto. Naruto apologies to Kohaku for mistaking "him" with Rika, he then have to apologies again for mistaking Kohaku for a male after dodging another stream of fire at him. Hinata asked if he was looking for Rika, to which he answered yes. She quickly told him that after she had fed her, she fall asleep before a passing by Ino saw her and took her back to her place. Naruto thanked Hinata for telling him and quickly took off to Ino's family flower shop.
Once he has gotten there, he saw Ino tending the flowers with what seem like a huge blue berry with feet and five large grass leaves sprout on its head. He watched as she called it Maiko while placing a small pouch around the grass leaves with a floor pot in it and told it to go to her mother. Ino soon notice Naruto standing at the door way and told him to move from the door way so costumers can come in. Naruto quickly walked in and asked Ino if she still have Rika with her, but got a head shake and told him that he just missed her. Naruto sighed and was about to leave when Ino asked him what Rika going to do with a dirt covered tomato. It only took him a few second to get an idea what she should do with it. And that idea involve Sakura being the victim of Rika. Naruto left while telling Ino that it might involve Sakura and left it at that.
"I need to find her before she gets to Sakura," said Naruto as he kept looking for Rika.
"I finally found you done," said Sasuke's voice from being him.
"Huh," was all Naruto said before almost getting hit by Leo.
Naruto turned around to see a mad Sasuke and an equally angry Leo glaring at him. Naruto nervously chuckled as he know why the two were angry at him since he did practically abandoned them to their near doom from the fangirls. Sasuke then told Naruto to give him one good reason why he and Leo should beat him into an inch of his life for abandoning them. Naruto quickly told Sasuke that Rika might use the tomato on Sakura. This got Sasuke's attention since he is now conflicted as he could go catch Rika and get his tomato back or let her use it to attack Sakura. Leo was now wondering what Rika might do to the tomato. Before the two's thoughts could go any further with Naruto sweat dropping at them now, all three were snapped out by yell from a very familiar voice.
"RIKA GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE PEST," yelled Sakura's voice from 10 blocks from them.
They all blinked and looked down the road just in time to see Rika run by them very quickly with a smirk on its face. They soon see a dust cloud coming closing into view and see a very anger Sakura with what seem be a brownish red splashed on her face. Sasuke and Leo had to keep down a laugh from seeing her face, while Naruto just hoped that Sakura won't go after him for that. Oh how he hoped that she wouldn't go after him as well but it doesn't seem like luck was on his side.
"AFTER I'M DONE WITH YOU RIKA," yelled Sakura as she gets closer to the three, "I'M GOING AFTER BAKA-NARUTO!"
Sasuke and Leo soon felt a breeze go by them and looked where Naruto was standing to see that he was gone. They then looked in the direction of here Rika ran to and found a running Naruto going after Rika since his life was really on the line if he does get Rika first. Sasuke and Leo watched as Sakura ran by then with what seem like a strange bird looking with pink feathers hanging on for dear life on her shoulder. Sasuke looked down at Leo and looked back at where his teammates ran through.
"You think we should help the dobe," asked Sasuke as he look down at Leo, "or go watch the show unfold."
"lit," said a very happy Leo for the second idea.
Sasuke picked up Leo and then took to the roof tops and followed his teammates while not drawing any attention from any of his fangirls that they had rid of. To say the least Sasuke was enjoying watching this with the scene unfold, as Naruto finally caught up to Rika and scooped her up while trying to get away from Sakura. Naruto finally decided to use shadow clones to escape from Sakura and went into hiding with Rika. Sasuke and Leo watched as Sakura hunt down very single Naruto and Rika clones all over the village. After getting bored of watching the show, Sasuke decided to go and get something to eat while Sakura continue to destroy clones. However, when he landed on the ground, he was quickly spotted by Ino who happened to be take a stroll with Maiko walking next to her.
Sasuke cursed his luck but didn't look at Ino, instead he just ran from her. This just made Ino pick up Maiko and ran after him, now this is the start of another chase but not the last. The last Naruto clone managed to last the longest since it was running with Lee and his training partners named Hiroki and Nobu. Speaking of Lee, the clone managed to out smart Sakura by telling Lee that Sakura told him that if he catch her, she'll go on a date with him. So, right now the Naruto and Rika clone is running behind Lee as he and his training partners runs after a now scared Sakura. While at the East side of the village, Neji and his sparing partner named Minoru are running from Tenten who is trying to cut them with the sword she named Aki. The only reason the two are running from Tenten was that Minoru send up breaking one of Tenten's weapons.
-Time skip: Sun set-
"You think its save to leave the forest now Rika," asked Naruto as the two sits under a tree.
"Eev," said Rika she shakes her head.
"You know we wouldn't be in this mess if you didn't throw that tomato at Sakura-chan's face," said Naruto with mono tone.
"Eev eevee."
"If thats means "but she deserved it for stepping on my tail before" then you should have just waited to knock her into a small stream."
"EEV EEVEE!"
"Hey, don't give me that tone Rika."
The reason that the two are hiding in the forest is because it would be the last place Sakura will think to look because of how big it is. Both of them are currently, eating dinner that is if you count two bowls full of berries as dinner while they argue. While they hid, Naruto keep getting images of Sakura destroying his clone but the last one dispelled itself to show Lee chasing Sakura into a training ground. Naruto and Rika just sighed and continue eating as they wait for morning to come so that they can get back to the village. Naruto was glad to himself that he always have a scroll full of camping equipment on him just in case he needs to stay somewhere outside the village. And is planning to set up a tent after eating.
"I hope Sakura-chan forgets about the tomato," said Naruto as he finish eating his berries, "after being chased by Lee and the twins."
"Eev eevee ee," said Rika with a bored look on her face.
"Your right who am I kidding, she'll remember with no problem when she see either of us," said Naruto with a depressed tone.
"What did Rika do with the tomato," asked Ino's voice from behind him.
"Rika threw the tomato at her face," answered Naruto then blinked his eyes, "huh?"
When Naruto turned around, he nearly jumped to find Ino and Maiko behind him. Naruto asked her why the two were in the forest, to which Ino gotten depressed while answering that she got lost looking for Sasuke in the forest. Rika sweat drop at Ino's answer of getting lost in the forest near to the village as said girl sit down to rest from walking so much. As the two human stayed quiet, Rika finished eating and walked up to Naruto so that she can lay on his lap before falling a sleep. Ino had Maiko on her lap and watched Naruto gently pet the sleeping Rika.
"I wonder why Rika just hate Sakura-chan," asked Naruto as he keep petting Rika.
"I think I know why," answered Ino as she remember the reason.
"What was reason," asked Naruto as he look at Ino.
"It was three years ago, and Sakura stepped on her tail," answered Ino as she scratched her cheek, "she didn't know that she stepped on Rika's tail until she was attacked by Rika with what seem like a dark purple orb shooting at her right in the middle of our argument."
"So, thats why Rika hates Sakura-chan," thought Naruto as he look at Rika.
-With Sasuke after losing Ino-
"We finally lost her," said Sasuke as he and Leo walks around the village.
"Leo," said Leo in a depressed tone.
"Hn, lets go back home," said Sasuke.
Both Sasuke and Leo decided to walk through the park to get back to Sasuke's apartment. While Leo ran ahead, he looked back to Sasuke and didn't see where it was going until he ran into something. Sasuke is now smirking as he watched Leo runs from a fox like creature as it chase after him and is hot on his tail. He soon noticed that he wasn't the only one watching as he spotted Hinata near by giggling at the scene. He walked over to the giggling girl and sat next to her and watched the little chase with her.
-With Neji and Tenten at the time-
Tenten finally calmed down after making Neji and Minoru climb up the hokage mountain with the two holding onto the second's forehead. Who knew Neji can climb without using chakra and hold on for hours with Minoru. After the two climbed down with Neji walking down half way while carrying Minoru, Minoru apologized to Tenten as she apologized back to the two she chased with Aki. Right now, the four are watching their third teammate chase after Sakura with Hiroki and Nobu next to him.
"How can those two keep up with Lee," asked a confused Tenten.
"I want to know how long can that girl keep running," said Neji as he continue to watch.
"Mie nfoo," said Minoru as he eats some popcorn from the bowl in Neji's lap.
-With Shikamaru and Choji-
We find the four in one of Choji's family restaurant eating with the sand siblings. In Temari's lap, sits a purple bat like creature with its head and body are round and roughly equal in size. It has long, triangular ears and triangular eyes with small pupils. Two large pointed teeth protrude from its upper jaw, and a pink tongue is often seen lolling from its mouth. Its arms are segmented at the wrists and end in large pincers. Spread between its arms are two blue wing membranes, each tipped with a purple claw. Its legs are thin and likewise segmented at the ankles, with its round feet having one claw each. It also has a long tail split into spherical sections, ending in a large, round stinger. Temari called it Aya as she feeds it pieces of beef before Choji can get it.
Kankuro is also eating with them with a strange dark blue puppet like thing floating around them with different colored eyes of light blue, navy blue and yellow. Shikamaru and Choji thought it was a puppet that Kankuro was controlling but didn't see any strings and at one of the beef. And finally Gaara has an orange creature with a round body with a white underside and four stumpy legs. It has proportionally large head, small eyes, and a zigzagging mouth sitting on his head like its nothing. Kankuro named the stage puppet creature Aoi as Gaara named the creature Jun as he just fed it lettuce.
"Kankuro get Aoi to stop eating my meat," asked Choji as he try to eat but Aoi eat the meat before him.
"Not my fault that you and Shin try to hog all the food," answered Kankuro as he try to eat while holding a chuckle back.
"I had a feeling this would be troublesome," said Shikamaru as he pets Kai.
"For once we agree on something," said Temari as she continue to feed Aya.
"Inch," exclaimed Jun as he eats another lettuce leaf.
"Mind telling me how Gaara found Jun," asked Shikamaru as he try to ignore the argument of Choji and Kankuro.
"He found it during training," answered Temari, "it tried to stay hidden in the sand but Gaara keep finding it."
"I'm guessing he kept it," said Shikamaru as he gets a nodded from the sand shinobi, "must be troublesome."
-With Naruto and Ino-
"So, you met Rika three years ago too," asked Ino she try to waste time.
"Yeah, but not in a peaceful way," answered Naruto as he still recall back then.
"What did she attack you," asked Ino with a curious look.
"Well, yeah she did attack me," answered Naruto as he chuckled a little, "then she ate all the noodles in my ramen."
"You got to be kidding."
"I wish that I was, even Ayame-nee took a picture one time of Rika eating just the noodles."
"Are you sure it really was Rika?"
"Oh, I'm sure since she once stole the whole bowl from me."
"Now that you say that, I do remember seeing Rika running with a bowl on her head once."
Ino had been asking Naruto questions about when he met Rika and what Rika have done in the pass. So far, she only got that she would attack him when he order a bowl of ramen the first time. Naruto then told her that he tried to name Rika after Sakura once, to say Ino laughed at the reaction that Rika did afterwards. Naruto cried anime tears as he still remember running from Rika and jumping into Ino's family pound. Ino also remembered that as well since she remembered her dad forcing Naruto to work at the flower shop for a month for jumping in the pond while wearing a sign that said, "I jumped into the Yamanaka's pond and now I'm paying the price." To say the least, business was better when Naruto worked there since he always manage to make the wrapping for the flowers look beautiful. Hell, they would sometime get a request from the fire daimyo for flowers.
"By the way Ino," said Naruto as he realized something, "you met Maiko three years ago right?"
"Yeah, she was in our garden looking at all the flowers," said Ino as she remember, "when my mom found her, she chased her off so many times."
"That sound rough for Maiko."
"Yeah, but one day I talked my mom into letting me keep Maiko."
"I bet you and Maiko had your fair share of arguments."
"Yeah, it always start with her somehow destroying my pictures of Sasuke-kun."
"Why am I not surprised," thought Naruto as he remember that she is also one of his teammate fangirls.
-With Sasuke and Hinata-
"You think we should stop them now," asked a curious Sasuke as he watch Leo chase after Kohaku.
"N-No, I think t-they're having f-fun," answered Hinata as she could tell that the two are switching turn chasing each other.
"Hn," was all Sasuke said as he and Hinata try to ignore Sakura's scream for help.
"Sakura-san is so annoying," said Hinata in an annoyed tone.
"Hn, I just hope she doesn't come to the park."
-With Sakura, Lee, Neji, and Tenten-
After finally having enough of her screaming, Tenten threw a smoke bomb filled with sleeping powder right in front of Lee and the twins. Once the bomb hit the ground and let out the smoke to which Lee and the twin ran through, the three instantly fall asleep with a very tired Sakura fall on her butt and panting from running for so long. It wasn't long before the strange pink bird let go of her shoulder and try to fly. But instead, it landed on Sakura's lap with its face looking at Sakura. The pink haired girl looked at it and saw swirls in its eyes.
"Oh no, Asami I'm so sorry," said Sakura as she pick up Asami, "I forgot that you were on my shoulder."
"So, it was a bird," said Tenten as she walked over to the girl, "I mistook it as part of your hair at first."
"I was kinda hoping that Tenten did that after Lee caught the girl," thought Neji and unknowingly Minoru.
"So, how long will they be asleep," asked Sakura.
"Knowing them, within two hours," answered Neji while seeing Sakura's face go into a look of horror, "but he won't move for until night fall."
Sakura relaxed and went to tend to her dizzy friend as Minoru decided to draw in the twins' faces to pass the time. Neji just shuck his head as Tenten giggled at the sight of the little prank of Minoru as he drew a drawing of a him standing on top of them and writing baka and dumber on their foreheads. After Sakura had tended to Asami and laid her on her lap so she can sleep, she decided to ask all of team guy meet their creatures. Tenets answered that she met Aki when a merchant tried to sell fake weapons to her two years ago. She even still remember Aki almost cutting that guy's hand off and then use its hand like cloth to grab him and throw the guy into a near by con. That was then, she decided to take Aki home.
Neji answered that he met Minoru after the chuunin exams but never got near him for three weeks. It wasn't until Minoru suddenly attacked him during training, to which Neji quickly evaded. Sakura asked him why would Minoru attack him; he answered that it to see test his own version of the gentle fist. After that, he also remembered after the little match and winning it, Minoru would stay with him no matter what; he even followed him to back to the Hyuuga's mansion and to his room. Sakura sweat dropped at this and asked what about Lee. Tenets simply answered that Lee met them after they became Guy's genins, along with a comment of saying that she thought one Lee was bad enough with Guy but when add those two then its much worse.
"So, how did you met Asami," asked Tenten as she was curious.
"I met her three years ago," answered Sakura, "well more like saved her from a bunch of cats that was chasing her."
"Why do I get the feeling that you ran from those cats too," said Tenten as she watched the girl chuckled nervously showing that she indeed ran from those cats.
-With Shikamaru, Choji, and the sand siblings-
"So, Kankuro met Aoi during one of his late night training when he was little," said Shikamaru as he talks to Temari.
"Yeah, and back then Aoi would scare me and Aya," said an annoyed Temari as Aya looked equally annoyed, "only when we were waking up."
"Sounds very troublesome," said Shikamaru as he try to ignore Kankuro's cry for help.
The reason why he is crying for help is because Shin is currently sitting on top of him. Aoi could be helping him, if it wasn't the fact that it was busy laughing at his friend. Choji is trying to figure out how Gaara and Jun can keep eating while ignoring Kankuro. Shikamaru sighed as he was glad that this was Choji's family restaurant and they didn't need to pay for the food. Temari just petted Aya in a calming way as this was payback from all those years ago with those pranks.
-Location change: Unknown space-
"Hmm, I thought I fixed those dimensional cracks," said Palkia as he looked at window viewing the Pokemon in the Shinobi dimension.
Palkia is one of the legendary Pokemons of the Pokemon world. He is also the one that has the power over space. Right now, he is trying to figure out how did those Pokemon get into a different dimension. After all, he thought that he has fixed any dimensional cracks before any Pokemon found them. But unknown to Palkia, there were random dimensional portal that had popped up all over the Pokemon pulling things into a different dimension. The only reason he didn't know about it was the one time he took a nap and only really woke up after a Trapinch and a Mienfoo were pulled in. After he woke up, Palkia went to work finding the Pokemon that were pulling into a different dimension.
However, it took him about three years looking through thousands of different dimensions to find the right one. When he found the shinobi's dimension, he found not just the Trapinch and Mienfoo but also a Eevee, a Spritzee, a Litleo, a Growlithe, a Venipede, a Vulpix, a Deerling, a Muchlax, an Oddish, a Honedge, a Tyrogue,a Gligar, and a Shuppet in the dimension; interacting with humans there.
"I could keep them here," thought Palkia as he thought it over, "nah, I'll sent them back to our dimension; I just hope my powers won't affect that world."
After having that one last thought, Palkia processed to open portals that would suck in the Pokemon without sucking in the humans also. But unknown to him, the portals would be not have the affect that he wanted and wasn't expecting at all.
-Back to the Shinobi world-
Portals started to appear around elemental nations but mostly around Konoha. A portal appeared above Naruto, Rika, Ino, and Maiko just as Naruto decided to set up camp. All four of them looked up to see the portal as it started to suck in air. Naruto grabbed Rika and put chakra to his feet so that he can stay in place as Ino did the same Maiko. As the two try to stay on the ground while holding on to their friends, the suction started to become stronger.
"What is that thing," asked Naruto as he continue to hold on.
"I don't know," answered Ino.
-Sametime: Tenten, Neji and Lee-
Right now both Neji and Tenten are currently trying to stay grounded while holding onto their friends. Lee, Hiroki, and Nobu are still with them and not through the portal is because Sakura tied them up with one end tied to a tree before the portal appeared. The portal appeared just after Lee, Hiroki, and Nobu has woken up from the sleep powder filled smoke bomb to find that they were tied up together. The only reason that Sakura isn't with them anymore is because she was the first one to go through the portal. The reasons behind that is that she lost concentration of her chakra to her feet is because she yelled at Lee for his content yelling of youth to them.
"If we get through this," thought Neji as he continue to hold his ground, "we don't have to hear that girl anymore, now if only Lee goes in too."
"If I live through this," thought Tenten as she continue to hold her ground with her teammate, "I'm going to beat the thought of dressing normal into Lee and Guy-sensei's heads!"
-Sametime: Sasuke and Hinata-
"What the hell is that thing," thought Sasuke as he holds Leo while keeping chakra into his feet.
Hinata and Sasuke notice the portal just as Leo and Kohaku ran to them and jumped into their arms. However, they weren't able to get away as the suction soon started to pick up. Sasuke was able to get chakra into his feet just in time, but Hinata wasn't able to get her's in time and was soon went toward the portal. Before she was two feet away from the ground, an anbu appeared and grabbed her foot while using chakra to stay on the ground.
-Sametime in front of a hotel: Shikamaru, Temari, and Gaara-
Right now, the three are trying to stay put onto the ground while holding their friends. The only ones missing are Kankuro, Aoi, Choji, and Shin, reason being is because Choji and Shin were chasing after the other two. The reason for the chase is because Aoi the rest of the food and Kankuro called Choji the taboo word. The four were the first to be go through the portal. Right now, Shikamaru and Temari are trying to figure out a way to escape from the portal as Gaara just stand where he is.
-Sametime: unknown location-
"What the hell is that thing," shouted Hiden as he and his partner Kakuzu try to hold their ground.
"I don't know but," answered Kakuzu as he uses both chakra and his strings to stay put, "I don't want to know what will happen if we get sucked in."
"I'm with Kakuzu on this," said Sasori as he was forced to change into his true form to stay put.
"Seem we're all in an agreement here," said Kisame as he uses samehada as an anchor incase his chakra ran out.
We find all of the group known as the akatsuki trying all they can to stay where they are. All of them were having a meeting in person instead of using their hologram jutsu to meet with each other. The meeting was to decide to let Tobi join them with said person present with the ever annoying Zetsu absent so he can gather information. But the meeting was interrupted by the portal appearing and trying to suck them in. Their leader was able to away with the help of his other path but unknown to them, the real Pein is having a hard time holding his owned to stay grounded with a portal over him.
"This can't be good at all," thought Tobi as he try to hold his ground, "all I can do is stand my ground, I can't even use my sharingan to escape."
-All at once-
The portals that have appeared above all these people have started to increase their suction quickly. It wasn't long for it to take one person inside, and that person was Deidara. It could have been Ino, if Naruto hasn't grabbed her hand at the last second. The second to go through was Lee as the rope holding him and his two little friends snapped. The next people to go was Shikamaru, Temari, Gaara, and Sasori since either of them were running out of chakra or slipped when the suction was too much. Soon Sasuke and Hinata were next since Sasuke slipped and was pulled in as the anbu lose his grip on Hinata's leg. When Shikamaru, Temari, Gaara, Sasuke, and Hinata were sucked into the portal that were above them, the said portals disappeared without a trace.
The next people to be pulled in were Neji, Tenten, Hiden, Itachi, Tobi, the real Pein, and Konan. Just like the other two, the portals disappeared without a trace. Now the only people left are Ino, Naruto, Kisame, and Kakuzu. The only reason Kisame and Kakuzu hasn't been pulled in is the fact that the two are using something beside chakra to help them stay put. As for Naruto being able to stay put while holding both Rika and Ino's hand is because he is subconsciously using the nine tailed fox's chakra as said fox also refused to let his jailor get pulled in. However, all of this had come in vain as Naruto finally lost focus on his chakra just at the same time the ground under Samehada and Kakuzu have broken up. Naruto and Ino could have been sent into the portal, if it wasn't for someone coughing Naruto's legs. So only the portals that have sucked in the Akatsuki has closed.
-With Naruto and Ino-
"Kiba Shino what are you two doing here," asked Ino as she continue to hold onto Naruto's hand.
"We're here looking for you two," said Kiba as he holds Tiko and holding Naruto's right leg with a transformed Akamaru holding the left leg.
"We didn't expect to find you two like this," said Shino as he hold both Kiba and Akamaru's shoulders as Dokuko is clinging onto his right arm for dear life.
The three tried their best to keep everyone from being sucked in, but it was all in vain. The portal's suction has increased to the point to where it can sucked part of the ground into it. As it so happened, it sucked in a big part of ground that so happened to have Shino, Kiba, and Akamaru standing on. Naruto and Kiba cursed as all of them were sucked into the portal. With all of them went into the portal, it finally disappeared with no trace of ever being there except of the missing chucks in the ground.
-Location change: Unknown space-
"Oh no, I sucked in the humans and others with the Pokemon," said Palkia in a worried tone, "I hope Arceus doesn't notice the humans."
"PALKIA WHAT DID YOU DO THIS TIME," yelled the Pokemon god Arceus.
"Damn, now I have to make some excuse for my mistake," thought Palkia as he is soon appear in front of an angry Arceus.
-Location Change: Sycamore Lab's Pokemon habitat-
We find Naruto, Rika, Ino, Maiko, Shino, and Dokuko in a big pile with the three Pokemon being on top of the three shinobis. Naruto was frowning as he ended up being on the bottom of the pile. But he was surprised to find that his landing was surprisingly soft and waited for everyone to get off of him. Rika was the first to get off the pile and landed on the ground in front of them. Then Maiko, Dokuko, Shino, and Ino got off the pile in order before Naruto finally stood up and looked around to see where they are but it was dark to see. That was before lights started to turned on around them and blinding those without sunglasses on.
"May I ask how you all got inside my lab," asked a person's voice as said person walked up to them.
Naruto, Ino, and the Pokemon's eyes soon adjusted to the brightness to see who is talking to them as Shino try to think of an explanation of how they got here and where they are. The person that is standing in front of them seem to an adult male that looked to be in his late twenties. He is wearing a blue button up shirt with the top two buttons undone with the collar open with a white lab coat over the shirt, the sleeves of both shirt and lab coat are rolled up to his half way up his lower arm, black dressed pants, red socks, and brown shoes. He also has black hair, grey eyes, and fair white skin. His face has a look of confusion written all over his face. They could also see two women wearing lab coats behind him with confused faces on their own.
"Umm, we really aren't sure how we got here," answered Naruto as he scratched behind his head while not noticing the height different or where he is standing.
"Hmm, how about you tell us what you do remember," said the adult male and looked down, "are those two your guardians you're standing on?"
Now all three shinobis and awake Pokemon looked to where Naruto is standing to find a woman and man laying on top of each other. They only see that the woman has blue hair and fair skin that are exposed from the black coat with red clouds on it. The guy has red hair and looked to have pale skin but that was all the can see with the expose skin from the coat. Naruto said that he doesn't know them with Ino and Shino agreeing with him as the adult male sweat dropped at this. And said that maybe they should talk in the morning that way the other two can talk too since they looked to be unconscious for the time being. They all agreed since Rika and Maiko yawned with Dokuko just fell asleep where he is.
-Timeskip: Morning-
We find both Naruto and Rika still sleeping in the bed while dreaming of a land full of ramen. The bed next to them is occupied by the red headed man who was also sleeping. These three are the only ones still asleep as the others were discussing who would wake the three as they were afraid of what will happened to them. However, it doesn't matter as Dokuko was the one that took action by waking up Rika with one of its antennas to poke her. And thus the wake reaction chain started, Rika slowly woke up to see Dokuko staring right her and freaked to which Naruto woke up before getting tackled by the freaked out Rika. He was then sent flying toward the slowly waking red head who happened to sit up just in time to be hit by the flying blonde and into the wall.
The others in the room watched the whole thing unfolded and still watched as Naruto and the red head try to stand up straight. Naruto was asking what hit him as the red headed man try to shake off the dizziness from his head. Ino and the woman known as Konan were giggling as Shino stayed silent during the whole thing. Naruto was the first to snap out of it and glared at Rika who is trying to act all innocent. He went over to Rika and started arguing with her about tackling him. Konan walked over to the red headed man who sat on the bed to check to see if he is all right after being nailed into the wall by the blond.
"I'm all right Konan," said the red head as he looked around, "where are we?"
"I don't know Nagato," answered Konan as she looks outside the window, "but the buildings here are very different that anything in the elemental nations."
"Your right they are different," said Nagato as he seen notice a change, "Konan, I don't feel the rods in my back anymore."
"I notice that as well," said Konan as she looked at Nagato, "I also noticed that your body is back to normal."
Before they could think of how that was possible they were interrupted by someone walking into the room saying that breakfast is ready. Everyone started to follow the other woman with blue hair out of the room and down the hall. Nagato noticed the creatures with the kids and that one of them was a jinchuuriki. Nagato asked Konan why didn't she take the jinchuuriki to the base yet. The answer she gotten was that she didn't want to risk anything since all of them are in unknown territory. Nagato nodded as he could understand that and without knowing where they are then it could be impossible how to get to the hideout.
Soon they arrived to a big table full of food and before anyone could blink, Naruto, Rika, and surprisingly Nagato sat down and is already eating. Ino and Shino sweat dropped at all three are eating the first food being ramen. Konan can understand Nagato's behavior since it been so long since he used his legs and arms before using that forbidden jutsu. everyone sat down and started to eat while not noticing that the brown haired man and red headed woman sat down and eat with them.
-Timeskip: After breakfast-
"Now that everyone has finished eating breakfast," said the brown haired man as he see Naruto and Nagato with swollen stomachs, "We can introduce ourselves, I'm Professor Sycamore."
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki," said a grinning Naruto with Rika jumping onto his head, "and this is Rika."
"I'm Ino Yamanaka," said a smiling Ino as she holds up Maiko, "and this is Maiko."
"I'm Shino Aburame," said the ever indifferent Shino as Dokuko climbed up to his head, "this is Dokuko."
"You can call me Konan," said Konan in a polite tone.
"You can also call me Nagato," said Nagato in a polite tone as well.
"Naruto, Ino, and Shino are you three Pokemon trainers," asked Sycamore as he looked at all three.
"What's a Pokemon trainer," asked a confused Naruto as he voiced the group's question.
"I would also like to ask what is a Pokemon," asked Nagato who voiced the second question.
Now this confused Sycamore as none of them know what a Pokemon is while three are present with them. He asked them where they from, the answer he gotten has confused him even more as he never heard of a town or village named Konoha or even rain country before. When one of them asked where they are, he answered that they are in his lab within Lumiosy city on the Kalos region. He watched as everyone seem to be confused on what he said. He asked them what was the last thing they remembered before he found them in his lab. The people from Konoha explained that they were being sucked into a round like portal. Konan and Nagato said that was what they remembered. After a few minutes of explaining, Naruto remembered that he saw something in a brief moment. Sycamore asked what was it that he saw. All Naruto said was that it was a huge white creature with purple lines and pink orbs in it's shoulders.
"N-Naruto the creature that you described I believe was the Pokemon deity Palkia," said Sycamore in a surprised way.
"What is Palkia's power," asked Konan in a curious way, "and is there a way to find him?"
"Palkia is said to be the deity that rule over space," explained Sycamore, "some even say that he can go into different dimensions, but it would also seem he can bring others from different dimensions."
"Are you saying that we are in a different world," asked Nagato as he can understand what it means.
"Yes, I am and there also no way to find Palkia," answered Sycamore while answering two questions at once.
"Wait, you mean we're stuck in this world," asked a scared Naruto.
"I'm afraid so Naruto," answered Sycamore with a frown on his face.
Naruto soon got depressed since now he can't become hokage. Ino looked to be in the verge of crying at the thought of never seeing her parents ever again. Shino just looked to be indifferent, but Dokuko can tell that he was depressed at the news. Konan was looking at Nagato to see him in a mix of sadness and little happy. She could tell that he was happy because he can finally got rid of the rods in his back and being able to walk again. Sycamore decide to let them have time to think everything out and told them that they are free to walk around the lab and if they want to go outside to ask one of his assistants to come with them. They all just nodded and walked in their own path to think of what they will do now.
-With Shino-
"I'm stuck inside this world," thought Shino as he try to think, "but how come Kiba didn't arrive with us?"
His thoughts were snapped out as he walked into a door. Dokuko made some nose as a way to ask him if he was all right. Shino just nodded as looked at the door before opening said door. When he opened the door, he was soon tackled to the ground by a big blue beetle with one horn. Dokuko was lucky enough to jump off Shino's head before the beetle hit him. The said beetle stood up and got off Shino before being scolded by Dokuko for tackling Shino. Shino watched as someone walked up beside him and sighed. The Aburame looked the person to find it was the red headed assistant of Sycamore.
"Did Heracross tackled you to the ground Shino," asked the red head assistant, "and my name is Cosette if you're wondering."
"Yes, but I'm fine," answered Shino as he looked at Dokuko and Heracross, "is Heracross a Pokemon?"
"Why, yes he is," answered Cosette, "to be more precise, he's a bug type just like your Venipede."
"So thats what Dokuko is called here," thought Shino as he thought Dokuko was a new specie of bugs.
"Are there different bug types like Heracross and Dokuko?"
"Well, yes but some are dangerous to approach."
"Do you mind telling me more of these bug Pokemon?"
"I don't mind but, I do want to know why your interested in bug types?"
"Back where I'm from, my clan communicate and battle with bugs."
Cosette shivered as Shino also told her that he has a nest of bugs on him. However, she volunteered to tell him more over tea to which Shino, Heracross, and Dokuko followed her. Shino knows that he and everyone else are stuck in this world but he can't help but be curious about the bug types Pokemon and want to know more after finding out. He'll even ask her what are Pokemon.
-With Ino-
We find Ino and Maiko walking the streets of Lumiosy city with Sycamore's other assistant named Sophie. Ino and Maiko were looking at the building and technology of the city with awe looks. Ino has asked Sophie what are Pokemon. Sophie gladly answered Ino's question about Pokemon as they walked along with questions about the technology of the city. As they walked, Ino gotten the understanding of what Pokemon are and is happy to be Maiko's friend. They soon arrived to the park so that they can take a break from their stroll. They sat down and watched Maiko run around the park.
"This city is so cool and beautiful," said Ino as she recall all the thing she saw, "even the clothes here are better than the ones back in Konoha."
"I'm glad that you're enjoying our stroll so far Ino," said Sophie with a smile on her face, "however, there are even more beautiful things out in this world."
"That would sound like a great journey to see all that," said Ino in a sad tone as she recall her parents.
Sophie looks at her with frown on her face before noticing a wild Budew and a wild Petilil come over to Ino. She watched as the Budew jumped on her lap as Petilil floated around her in front of her head. This snapped Ino right out of it and looked at Budew and Petilil as the said Petilil snuggled into her cheek. Ino giggled and hold Petilil before petting it along with Budew while thanking them for cheering her up. She watched as the two moved from her and went to play with Maiko.
"Oh my, it seem those two like you very much," said Sophie as she smiles, "normally wild Pokemon aren't that friendly to people."
"Really, I thought it was normal and sweet that they cheered my up?"
"Well, there are Pokemon that are friendly to humans."
Ino asked Sophie to tell her more about Pokemon as she has grown curious. Sophie happily told her more about Pokemon as Maiko played with the Budew and Petilil.
-With Naruto-
Rika followed beside a depressed Naruto as he just walked while saying that he can no longer be hokage. The two didn't notice that they walked into the Pokemon habitat, the same one that Sycamore found them in. When they walked in, the two notice a fight going on with Sycamore trying to break up. Both of them walked over to Sycamore with Naruto asking what is going on. Sycamore looked them and explained that he's trying to back up a fight with a Tyrogue and a Torchic. Naruto looked at the two Pokemon and said that the two remind him of both him and Sasuke when one of them started to argue.
"Sound like you two are good friends," said Sycamore as he chuckled.
"Yep, I even think of him like a brother," said a grinning Naruto.
"So, how did you two stop arguing," asked Sycamore as he looked at the two Pokemon.
"Well, someone would hit me for bothering Sasuke," answered Naruto as he watched Rika throw a dark purple ball from her mouth and at the Tyrogue.
The ball hit Tyrogue and sent the Pokemon to a tree with a shocked and feared look while the Torchic looked at Rika with slight fear and admiration. Naruto chuckled as it seem Rika showed them who's boss. Sycamore was looking at Rika with interest and voice out that he never seen an Eevee so brave and not scared of anything. Naruto caught this and asked him what is an Eevee along with the questions of what a Pokemon is along with a Pokemon trainer.
Sycamore happily answered his questions with the Pokemon trainer being more in depth. Naruto and Rika soon started to get excited about what a Pokemon trainer does. However, Naruto was more excited about the champion of each region. The way Sycamore explained, the champion is like the hokage in term of being the best there is. Now, Naruto started to think that since he can't be hokage anymore, why doesn't he go after being a champion of a Pokemon region. While Naruto thought more on the idea, he failed to notice Nagato and Konan being in front of him.
"Are there anything else beside a Pokemon trainer," asked Nagato while scaring Naruto.
"Why yes there is," answered Sycamore as he smiled, "there's Pokemon rangers, nurses that treat Pokemon, professors that study about Pokemon like me, police offices, and gum leaders."
"Is that all of them," asked Konan as Naruto got curious about the rangers.
"Well, there are some regions that has people being coordinator for contests," answered Sycamore as he try to think, "there also our region Pokemon performer."
"What does the rangers do," asked Naruto with a Rika being curious.
"My your a curious one," said Sycamore before answering the question, "rangers goes around the world helping both human and Pokemon almost like a nice trainer would do."
"Thats so cool," said Naruto as he grinned, "do they also capture Pokemon with pokeballs you told me about?"
"They can capture Pokemon but not with a pokeball," explained Sycamore, "they use a device called a styler to capture them and use the Pokemon's help."
"Thats quiet interesting," said Nagato.
"Yes, but they can only have the Pokemon help them once before letting them free," said Sycamore as he also remembered one more thing, "I just remembered the rangers can have one Pokemon partner with them."
"Just one Pokemon," asked Naruto in a depressing tone.
"I'm afraid so Naruto," answered Sycamore.
Before Nagato and Konan asked him anymore questions, Sycamore told them that he has to go back to doing his study. The two understand and bid him goodbye as the professor left the Pokemon habitat. Nagato started to think of what to do now since they're stuck in a different world. They can't go back to their world with Naruto for the tailed beast. For now, they would have to find the other members, Konan just hope that none of them done anything stupid.
