Chapter 2
(Last time)
"Ow."
Naruto was surprise, "D-did you just..."
"Speak?" Green Sphere finished
"Yeah." Naruto said with a nodded.
"I did. Then you drop me on my head." Green Sphere said.
"Sorry. It just, balls don't talk." Naruto said.
"True. But I'm not a ball or a toy." Green Sphere then open up, "I am the Bakugan."
(On with the story!)
"Ba-what-gun?" Naruto asked in confuse.
"Bakugan. Ba-ku-gan. A beings from different dimension, living on the planet call Vestroia." Green Sphere said.
Her open up shows a butterfly with a humanoid face, "I'm Ventus Monarus."
"Ventus?" Naruto asked.
"To make it easy, it means 'Wind' at Vestroia." Monarus said.
Naruto stare at his surprise friend before he turn towards other spheres, "Can all of you..."
"Talk." Black Sphere finished.
Naruto nodded.
"We all can." Blue Sphere said before she opened up, shaping herself as a snake, "Aquos Serpenoid. Aquos is what you like to call, 'Water'."
Red Sphere opened up, shaping herself as a hydra/dragon, "I'm Pyrus Hydranoid, at your service. Pyrus is word for 'Fire'."
Brown Sphere opened up, shaping himself as a centipede, "Subterra Centipoid is the name, fighting hard is my game. Subterra means 'Earth'."
Black Sphere opened up, revealing himself to look like a skeleton with horns. "I'm Darkus Reaper. Darkus is the word of 'Darkness'."
And last but not least, White Sphere opened up, shaping himself as a knight, "My name is Haos Siege and I am an honorable knight."
"Let me guess, this Haos is like 'Light'?" Naruto asked.
"Very good." Siege said.
(Meanwhile)
Hiruzen Sarutobi; the Third Hokage is walking towards Naruto's home.
"I hope Naruto is alright. Mizuki really has mess him up." Hiruzen said.
As he arrives at Naruto's door, Hiruzen was about to knock when he heard something inside; Naruto's voice along with six strange voices.
(Meanwhile)
"So when this 'Drago' saved the New Vestroia from the BT System, all Bakugan are returning but somehow, you six got separate from others and landed in my world?" Naruto asked.
"That's how it happen." Reaper said.
"Also, there's another Darkus Bakugan along but we don't know who it is." Hydranoid said.
"All we know is that this Bakugan is so evil." Siege said.
KNOCK, KNOCK.
The knock on the door, cause Naruto and his Bakugan friends to flinches. The Bakugans close up as Naruto made his way towards the door.
"Who is it?" Naruto asked in worry tone, in case its one of those village that wish to harm him.
"Naruto, it's me." Hiruzen's voice said.
Naruto calm down before he open the door and let the Third Hokage in. Then the Hiruzen look around.
"Was someone there?"
"Um, me." Naruto said while carefully look at the spheres.
"Strange. I thought I heard six different voices." Hiruzen said.
"They were from my Shadow Clones with Transformation Jutsu. You know me." Naruto said.
"I see... I just come to see how you're doing after what happen in the forest." Hiruzen said.
"I'm doing OK. In fact, I'm more than OK now I'm a ninja and one step closer to my dream." Naruto said.
Third Hokage smile, "That's good to hear. I also need to inform you that you need to get to the Academy tomorrow morning for the team announcement."
"I'll be there." Naruto said.
Monarus stare hard at the old man before she turn towards Serpenoid who says, "If my calculations are correct, Ninjas form teams. And I bet this 'Hokage' is the one in charge of it."
"Then, let see what he had in mind for our friend." Monarus said before she roll to the table ege and hop to Hokage's pocket.
(A while later)
Hiruzen is sleeping on his bed.
Meanwhile at his desk, Monarus jump out of the pocket of the hanged coat nearby and land softly on the desk.
"Perfect landing." Monarus said before she roll over paperworks.
A few seconds later, she found the files of teams.
"Let see, if my hearing of the old man is right, Naruto should be in Team 7." Monarus looks through the files till she found Team 7 file, "Here it is. Now lets have a look."
Monarus looks through the file, four profiles; three Genin and one Jonin.
"Let see... Here's Naruto Uzumaki... Someone really must hate him. Maybe because of this 'Nine-Tailed Fox' everyone been talking about. Then there's the pink hair girl, Sakura Haruno... Doesn't look like a ninja or fighter. I've seen Ninja like Bakugans all the time and they are way batter than her. Then there's Sasuke Uchiha... Man will it kill him to at least smile? Now for the 'Jonin'; Kakashi Hatake... Not bad but his records said he always left his team mate behind to complete the missions. Not very helpful team mate, isn't he?" Monarus asked.
Just then, through a small open window, the other Bakugans enter.
"Took you guys long enough." Monarus said.
"Sorry. We need to make sure Naruto is asleep safe and sound. What do we have?" Siege asked.
"Judging by these profiles, Naruto will be place with a pink hair girl who doesn't seem to take Ninja things seriously, a boy who only care about himself and a teacher who will leave everyone behind for his own missions." Monarus said.
"By my calculations, Naruto's chance of surviving with those three are... -100%." Serpenoid said.
"I knew you were going to say that." Centipoid said.
"Then in order to be sure our new friend is safe, we need to place him with the team that will be fair to him." Hydranoid said.
The others agree and set to work. A few moments later, the Bakugans has set up the teams as Siege and Centipoid wrote a note.
Hydranoid went to Siege and Centipoid, "Ok, let see what you got." Hydranoid then starts reading the note, "Due to my restless sleep, I may have lost my memories about these teams, so do please not change the teams no matter what I say." Hydranoid turn towards Siege and Centipoid, "Great job, except the 'please' part. Hello! He's like, the leader of this village! Try make it sound more like an order, please? You know what I'm talking about?"
"Right, ma'am." Siege said as he and Centipoid write a new note.
After read the new note, Hydranoid if can, smile, "That's better. Much better. Ok, place the new note in one of these files and we'll take the old note and get out of here."
"Right." Bakugans said.
With that, they slide the new note into the file and after manage to hold the old note, the Bakugans left towards Naruto's house. During the trip, they throw an old note in the ally bin.
(Next morning)
Hiruzen yawning as he put on his Hokage uniform on. Then, he pick up the files and went off.
(A while later; At the Academy)
"This is going to be so great." Naruto said to his friends.
"You have been saying that for 3 hours, 90 minutes and 80.7 seconds." Serpenoid said.
"Smarty snake." Naruto muttered.
"That's what I said all the time." Reaper said before Naruto and the Bakugans quietly laugh.
Just then, Shikamaru arrive near Naruto, "What are you doing here, Naruto? Only ones who passed comes here."
Naruto foxy grin while point at his headband, "I passed. See? See?"
"Whatever..." Lazy ninja muttered before went off.
"Lazy guy, isn't he?" Siege whispered.
Serpenoid notices a blue hair girl; Hinata Hyuga, watching Naruto with a blush, "So, the little note about her having a crush on Naruto is true. Good thing I saw the note." She muttered with a small smile.
Just then...
"FIRST!"
Sakura and Ino enter the classroom.
"I win, Ino-Pig." Sakura said.
"What are you talking about, Forehead? I was way head of you." Ino said.
Monarus hop to Naruto's shoulder and whispers, "Do those two always act like that?"
"You have no idea." Naruto whispered.
Then Sakura and Ino rush pass Naruto to the desk where Sasuke is and then, Sakura, Ino and pretty much fangirls all fighting to see who get to sit next to Sasuke.
Just then, Iruka enter the class and all newbie Ninjas run to their seat while Naruto got all the Bakugans and place them inside his pocket.
"I just want to say, congratulation for making it this far. Now, I'll begin the team announcement." Iruka said.
(Meanwhile)
Hiruzen is in his office along with many Jonins and one ANBU with cat mask, "Let see the flesh Genins."
With that, the Third Hokage summon his crystal ball and it shows him, ANBU and Jonins the classroom.
(Back at the classroom)
"Team 7; Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno..." Iruka started
"Yeah! True love conquers all!" Sakura said where Ino glare at Sakura.
"And Kiba Inuzuka." Iruka finished.
"NO! Not that mutt!" Sakura moaned.
"Team 8; Naruto Uzumaki, Hinata Hyuga and Choji Akimichi." Iruka said.
Hinata's face glow red so bright, it's like growing in the dark. Naruto is a bit sad he won't end up with Sakura but at least he won't be with Sasuke. Choji... just keep on munching his crisps.
"Team 9 is still on, so we'll go straight to Team 10; Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka and Shino Aburame." Iruka said.
"NO! Why with lazy jerk and freak bug and not cool Sasuke?!" Ino asked in angry.
Meanwhile in Naruto's pockets, the Bakugans head butt each other.
"Plan goes well." Reaper said.
"This type of battle is not over yet." Serpenoid said as she pop her head out of the pocket.
"What do you mean, fair lady?" Siege asked.
Serpenoid glare at her knight friend, "I have told you 25,000 times not to call me that! Anyway, three, two, one and cue the door!"
As if on cue, the door suddenly open and Third Hokage and the Jonins along with ANBU Cat who wave at Naruto who wave back, enter the class room.
"Iruka, may I have a look with clipboard?" Hiruzen asked.
Iruka nodded as he hand the clipboard over. Hiruzen then read through the clipboard.
"That's weird." Hiruzen muttered.
"What's wrong?" Iruka asked in confuse.
"These are not my choice." Hiruzen said.
"But the files you gave said they are." Iruka said even more confuse.
"I see." Hiruzen muttered before he turn towards the Genins, "I need to check something out. I'll be right back."
With that, Hiruzen, Iruka, Cat and Jonins leave the classroom. A while later, they arrive at teacher office where on the desk, the files are.
"Here they are, Lord Hokage." Iruka said as he handing the files to Hiruzen.
Hiruzen took the files and see that somehow the profiles has been switched.
"Someone has switch my choice." Hiruzen said.
"Well then, just tell Iruka to switch them back." Kurenai said.
"I'm afraid I'm not allow to do that." Iruka said.
"And why's that?" Kakashi asked.
Iruka pull out a paper from his pocket, "Lord Hokage wrote this note. Saying no matter what he says, I must not change the teams."
ANBU took the note and have a read, "It does say it."
Hiruzen took the note, "I don't recall writing that note."
"Maybe the guardian angle has finally smile down on Naruto." Cat said.
Kurenai glare at ANBU, "How can you say that about that de-" Cat point her blade at Kurenai's neck, "Finish that word and I'll cut off your tongue."
Asuma got himself between Kurenai and Cat, "Ladies, ladies. Why don't we just calm down."
"STAY OUT OF THIS!" Kurenai and Cat said before they punch Asuma right on the face, causing him to fall back.
"Women..." Asuma muttered as he rub his sore face. (ouch.)
"You always care for that brat. Maybe you should be his team Sensei." Kurenai said with a glare.
"Fine, I will." Cat said as she removing her mask.
"Yugao, I don't think-" "Lord Hokage, you've denied Naruto's name, you've denied his birthright and you've denied my adoption for him! At least let me be his sensei, for Kushina Sensei or Minato, the Fourth Hokage. Think about it, would they really want him killed or have no happiness?" Yugao AKA Cat asked.
Hiruzen is in deep thought before reply, "Since with this note, I can't change the teams... Very well, Yugao,since Kurenai refused to become the Sensei, You'll be Sensei of Team 8."
Yugao smile then bow, "Thank you, Lord Hokage."
Kurenai turn towards Hiruzen, "Lord Hokage, you're leaving Hinata with that... 'boy'. She'll be in danger!"
"Untill we found out who done it, I can't change the team or everyone would have think I lost my mind or something. You, Yugao and Kakashi will come with me." Hiruzen said before he turn to Iruka, "Allow your former students out for lunch."
"Right away, Lord Hokage." Iruka said.
(A while later)
Hiruzen, Yugao. Kurenai and Kakashi are in Hiruzen's home at the desk where the files were. Sniffing around, are Kakashi's Summoning Dogs.
"They'll be able to find out who didn't." Kakashi said with a proud smile.
Then...
"Can't find any." Pakkun the miniature pug said.
"WHAT?!" Three out of four asked in shock.
"Besides Hokage's, there's no scent anyway." Pakkun said.
"That's can't be right. Are you sure?" Kurenai asked.
"We smell around three times and it's the same answer." Pakkun said.
"Then without prove, I can't change the teams. Maybe you're right, Yugao. Maybe the guardian angle has really smile down on Naruto." Hiruzen said with an smile.
Yugao smile back before turn towards Kurenai, "Last chance, will give Naruto a chance to prove to you he's not the demon?"
"Never! I'll never be that monster's Sensei." Kurenai said before turn her back on an ANBU.
"Then I'll retire of ANBU to became Team 8 Sensei." Yugao said as she hand her mask over to Third Hokage.
Hiruzen nodded as he took the mask.
"Now then, I must head home and get ready for 'my' team." Yugao said before went off.
(A while later; At the Academy)
The Genins has return to the classroom and are waiting for their Sensei.
Naruto, Hinata and Choji have a good chat, getting to know each other. One the desk near them, the Spheres stand still. Cause A; Hinata and Choji might get spoke and B; Kiba's dog; Akamaru is watching them, either not trusting the toys or think of them as the chew toys.
Just then, a fly come by and land on Hydranoid.
"Hey. Go away. Shoo, shoo!" Hydranoid whispered.
The fly flies off and land in front of her and get a closer look... only for the red sphere hop on it and knock it off. The fly in dizziness, fall away from the spheres and land near Akamaru.
The fly after recover, glare at the spheres before turn to Ninja dog and starts to saying "Live ones! Hopping ones!" Then roll itself into the ball and bouncing.
Getting the message, Akamaru head towards the spheres, snarl and barking like mad.
Then suddenly, Sakura grab Akamaru and lift him up, "What's got into you, you stupid mutt?!"
"Don't Akamaru stupid or mutt. He just saying that something is not right about those balls of Naruto's" Kiba said.
"Then he IS stupid! Cause those are toy balls! Useless toy balls! They can do us any harm. Here, I'll prove it." Sakura grab Reaper, "Look you two. It's a sphere like a ball and it made of plastic." Sakura tap Reaper on the desk, "See? Plastic. Plastic! PLASTIC!" With the 'plastic' words, she tapping Reaper few times, "Now Dog Brain, keep your mutt quiet! He's bothering Sasuke." Sakura then throw Reaper back to Naruto's hand before Reaper pop out a sign saying "Ouch".
Making sure no one is looking, Naruto whisper to Reaper, "Reaper, you're alright?"
"I have lots of headaches." Reaper muttered.
Just then...
"Team 8, with me!" Yugao Uzuki in Jonin uniform, said while stand by the door.
Naruto after put his sphere friends in his pocket, Hinata and Choji went off with their Sensei.
(Few moment later)
Team 8 arrive a nice restaurant which surprisely, will allow Naruto Uzumaki to enter.
After the team order something, Yugao look at her students, "Ok you three, we'll start with introduce ourselves. Names, likes, dislikes, dreams for the future, stuff like that. I will go first. My name is Yugao Uzuki. I like moon, dango and nice tea. I dislike cruel and harsh people and traitors. My hobbie is watching the moon. And my future dream is to pass my skills of Kenjutsu to my students. Alright, your turn. We'll start with the chubby one."
"My name is Choji Akimichi. I like my crisps and all kinds of food. I dislike someone taking my crisps or call me 'fat'. My hobbie is to eat as many food as I can. My dream is to own my own restaurant and win in every eating contest." Choji said.
'Hum, he sure loves to eat.' Yugao thought before say, "Ok, girl. Your next."
My name is Hi-Hinata Hyuga. I like my s-sister, my cousin a-a-a-and..." Hinata stare at our blonde hero, "I dislike people who look down on someone and the Bird Cage Seal. My dream is to reunite my clan and... and..." Hinata try to finshed while stare at Naruto with red face.
'So, Hinata does have crush on Naruto. Maybe even more. Time will tell.' Yugao thought before says, "Ok, Naruto. You're last one."
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, I like all type of Ramen, friends even my imagination friends..." Naruto started
"Imagination friends? Seriously?" Reaper quietly asked.
"Queit!" Hydranoid whispered before bump herself on Reaper.
"I dislike bullies, waiting for the ramen, someone who think they are better than others. My dream is to be greatest Hokage. Then everyone will treat me like somebody important." Naruto finished.
'He's an interesting as I know. Ok, I have a none-stop eating chubby, a very shy Hyuga and the most unpredictable ninja. Look like I got my hands full.' Yugao thought before the meal has arrive.
As the team eats, Yugao look at her students, "Tomorrow, we'll start your test."
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah, we passed already." Choji asked.
"Sorry, but that test was only to weed out the weakest of the weak. All Jounin's who are assigned a squad must administer an additional test to see who can make the cut." Yugao said.
"W-what kind of t-test?" Hinata asked.
"You'll find out tomorrow. Come to Training Ground 16 at 8:00, and be prepared to work hard if you want to keep those headband. For now, just enjoy." Yugao said.
Unknown to Team 8, Kurenai is spying on them while glare at Naruto.
"I know you have done this, monster. But you'll never pass. I'll make sure of it." Kurenai muttered.
(Later that night, at Uchiha's place)
Sasuke just arrive to his room.
"Teams? They'll only slow me down. I work alone. Power is all I need." Sasuke said.
"Sounds like you and I are so alike." A dark voice said.
Sasuke look around and could see a blak and purple sphere.
"What's a matter? Never seem a talking ball before?" Black Sphere asked.
"No. What are you?" Sasuke asked.
"I'm a Darkus Bakugan." Darkus Bakugan then opens up, "Call me Dark..."
(Dark What?! Who is that Darkus Bakugan with Sasuke? He sounding so evil. Will Naruto friends be prepare for this? Stay tune to find out. Till then, see you all soon!)
