(A/N: Grammar Will Be Shitty So Heads Up. Also This Is An AU Of The Metal Saga And Naruto Shippuden. With The Road To Ninja Concept, Hence The Name. Also Heavy Narusaku Here. Enjoy Lads.)
Deep In The Land Of Fire.
The eight members of the Akatsuki who are meant to be dead, are actually alive and are battling Konoha shinobi.
This in-turn unsettles Naruto Uzumaki And Sakura Haruno, Two Of Team 7's Shinobi.
Shikamaru Of Team 10 states there is no point in wondering why the dead are back alive and quickly comes up with a counter plan, but Naruto quickly attacks Akatsuki head on, forcing the rest of the Konoha 11 to attack. Ino And Choji VS Kakuzu, Hinata VS Konan, Sai VS Deidara, Kiba And Shino VS Pain, Lee And Guy VS Kisame And Itachi, Sakura And Kakashi VS Sasori, And Tenten And Neiji VS Hidan.
The battle continues until is Naruto caught by Kakuzu. Sai frees Naruto by cutting part of Kakuzu's arm off, causing the Akatsuki to retreat.
"Well... That Was Strange..." Naruto Blinks.
Naruto and his friends return to the village, where most of Naruto's peers are congratulated by their families, all of whom promise to write a recommendation letter for the promotion to becoming a Jonin.
"What!? Mom!?"
Although Sakura has a little fight with her family who embarrass her in front of the others.
"I Wish The Two Of You Would Just Butt Out Of My Life! Your Annoying, Not Funny, And Act Like Total Fools!" Sakura Shouts.
"Hey Sakura Wait A Minute Don't Say-" Naruto Tries To Intervene.
"Oh Shut Up And Mind Your Own Business Naruto!" Sakura Snaps As Naruto Backs Up.
"OK... Geez..." Naruto Muttered.
Everyone Leaves As Sakura Grumbled. Naruto Was Conflicted.
As Naruto returns home, he passes many families making him reminisce about his father and mother causing him to feel lonely.
Later while eating at the Ichiraku Ramen, he meets Iruka. He then asks for a letter of recommendation of his own, but Iruka refuses as Naruto is only a Genin and must become a Chunin and rise through the ranks just as Minato and all other jōnin did.
"But Why Iruka-Sensei!?" Naruto Begs. "I Don't Even Understand! I Saved The Village From Pain!"
"Naruto! You Must Follow The Rules! You Can't Do Things On Your Own!" Iruka Scolds. "Your Being Rotten!"
"And This Stupid Menma! I HATE IT! Ramen Without Naruto Isn't Ramen!" Naruto Shouts.
"Naruto You-" Teuchi Tries To Remind Him Of The Bill.
Naruto is saddened by his lonely lifestyle and so storms off saying that no one seems to understand him, and also that he doesn't like the extra menma on his ramen.
"Damnit Iruka..." Naruto Muttered.
"I Told You... I'm Not A Little Kid Anymore!" Sakura's Voice Is Heard From Her House.
"Hold On! Where Are You Going?" Her Mother Sternly Asks.
"Just Stay Out Of My Life." Sakura Groans As She Left.
Naruto meets Sakura, who had an argument with her family and also stormed out, grabbing Naruto's hand and telling him to go on a date with her.
"Oh... Sakura, What's Up?" Naruto Plainly Greets.
"We're Going On A Date! Let's Go!" Sakura Declares.
"Wait... Seriously... I Mean That's Fine But..." Naruto's Ear Is Harshly Pulled As Sakura Drags Him Across The Village. "And Didn't You Shout At Me..." Naruto Thought.
"No Buts!" She Barks.
"OWOWOW! I Can Walk On My Own!" Naruto Complains. "Yea No! This Is No Date!"
The Two Of Them Arrived At A Small Park, They Resided At The Swings Where They Chucked Rocks Around And Had Very Awkward Idle Conversation.
"So... Sakura..." Naruto Tries To Speak. "Your Mom Sounded Pretty Upset. Like She Wanted You To Come Back."
"Best To Leave Her Alone Naruto, She's Always Like This..." Sakura Laments. "Butting In On Everything Possible In My Life And Running Her Mouth Off... My Dad's Not Any Better. He's Not Only Ungodly Annoying With His Dad Jokes But He Also Likes To Say I'm A No Good Chunin With Only Brute Strength With No Shot Of Becoming A Jonin! Throw Me A Bone Damnit!" Sakura Said As Naruto's Frown Only Darkened.
"You Know..." Naruto Said. But Again... Interrupted.
"I Wish They Weren't My Parents." Sakura Flatly States As Naruto Got Up And Let Out A Long Hard Sigh.
"Alright Sakura, That's Enough!" Naruto Snaps. Sakura Stares At Him Aghast.
"What!? Are You Taking Their Side!" Sakura Shouts. Naruto Vehemently Shook His Head.
"No No NO! I'm Just Saying Your Acting Unreasonable!" Naruto Said.
"You Heard Them Earlier! They Made FUN Of Me In Front Of EVERYONE!" Sakura Growls.
"Well You Just Have To-" Sakura Interrupted Naruto Once Again.
"You Don't Understand My Pain. Why Are You Here With Me Anyway!?" Sakura Sighed As Naruto Blinks With A Deadpan Stare. "Sasuke Would Of Understood."
"Cause You Dragged Me Here On A 'Date'." Naruto Crosses His Arms. "Also, Be Happy You Have Parents... I Didn't Even Know Mine." Naruto Outright States.
"Geh... Ummm..." Sakura Stumbles.
"Even If They Nag You Around, They Gave You Respect. Mine WOULD Have... But... Of Course, My Respect Had To Be Earned." Naruto Grits His Teeth.
"By Defeating Pain." Sakura Muttered.
"Exactly... And Another Thing, Sasuke's Clan Is Gone Sakura... How Stupid Do Have To Be To Think HE Understands?!" Naruto Spat.
"... No... He Wouldn't." Sakura Hung Her Head Down.
"Right Sakura... Now-" Naruto Said Before.
"Its Been Awhile... Naruto Uzumaki..."
Just As Naruto Was About To Continue, Someone appears in front of them. A Masked Man From MLp The Akatsuki.
Madara.
"Madara!" Naruto Jumps Into Action Readying A Shadow Clone And Rasengan. He Misses As Madara Warps Through Him.
"Oh Cmon!" Naruto Growls.
"You Never Change." Madara States.
He Sat As He Notices Sakura Readying An Axe Kick, He Once Again Evades As Sakura Slams Into The Ground, Creating A Crater.
"We WON'T Let You Destroy Our Village!" Sakura Cracks Her Knuckles.
"That's Right!" Naruto Agrees.
Naruto Rushes To Attack Him Again But Madara Flips Over Him And Punched Him In The Gut. Immobilizing Naruto.
Sakura Powers Chakra To Her Fists And Punches, Only To Destroy The Park Swings And Slides As Madara Appears Behind Her, Picks Her Up And Throws Her Into Naruto.
Madara Then Proceeds To Get Out A Red Ball With The Sharingan Logo Embedded On It.
Naruto And Sakura Both Look Intensely At It With Worry.
"What's That?" They Both Thought.
"This Was Unplanned... No Matter... Allow Us To Proceed." Madara Throws The Ball Into The Air Reflecting The Moon.
he then activates the Ball... The Limited Tsukuyomi. Naruto and Sakura are absorbed in a flash of light. With Two Nearby Rocks And Two Nearby Twigs Glowing Brightly.
"Madara! What Are You-" Naruto Is Interrupted As The Scenery Changes.
They both later find themselves In A Large City, That Was As Bright As Day, Brimming With Life, with no signs of a fight or Madara...
"What Was That? Where's Madara!?" Naruto Said.
"What Is This Place?" Sakura Stares In Wonder At The New Scenery Before Them.
"What Do You Me- Woah..." Naruto's Eyes Widened As They Take In What Just Happened. They Also Notice Two Strange Toys In Front Of Him Glowing Orange And Pink, With Some Sort Of Grips With Them.
"Wha..." They Both Thought.
Meanwhile Relatively Close By.
A Beyblade battle is currently taking place at a Beyblade stadium.
"Go Flame Sagittario! Be the Beyblade!" Said a green haired boy as both beys continued to collide with each other. This Was Kenta Yumiya. A 11 Year Old Kid.
"Don't be so sure of yourself! Come on, hit em back!" Said Kenta's opponent. The crowd cheered.
"What a day of Beyblading it has been here at the WBBA competition! Doesn't it get any better then this? I don't think so! Lets watch and find out. Which point hungry blader is going to come out on top today?" Said Blader DJ, The Local Commentator.
Kick some bey, Kenta!" A boy shouted.
"Rip it up! Spin, spin, spin!" Another boy added.
"Beat Him Kenta! Show Him Saggitario's The Best!" A Third Boy Adds.
More people are running toward the building where the bey battle is taking place. While On The Other Side Of This City, Were Two Lost, And Confused Shinobi Of Konoha.
"This Place... Its So Big!" Sakura Said. "But What Is It?"
"Who Knows? One Thing Is... Madara's Out There And We Need To Find Him! And Warn These People!" Naruto Said.
"Hold On Naruto... First Off, Madara's Probably Long Gone By Now... And Second, We Have No Idea Where We Are... Lets Ask For Help." Sakura Suggests To Which Naruto Shook His Head.
"Naw... I'll Just Let My Shadow Clones Find Out... Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto Attempts His Signature Jutsu...
But...
Nothing Happens.
"What The? Again... Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto Tries Again.
Nothing Happens... Again.
"What The Hell? Why Can't I Make Clones?" Naruto Asks.
"Strange... Hold On... Naruto Wait..." Sakura Said As Her Eyes Widened. "Naruto!"
"What's Goin On?" Naruto Asks Upon Noticing Sakura's Worried Expression.
"Naruto... I Can't Sense Your Chakra!" Sakura Said. Naruto Paused As He Blinks In Surprise.
"And I Can't Sense Yours!" Naruto Responds.
"This Is Bad! Really Bad! Without Chakra! We Can't Perform Jutsu!" Sakura Worries.
"Did Madara Teleport Us To Some Weird Chakra Restricted Area Or Something!?" Naruto Asks.
"Who Knows? Lets Ask Around... Like I Said!" Sakura Said As She And Naruto Notice The Glowing Beyblades. Naruto And Sakura Both Feel A Radiance From Them That Magnetizes Them Towards Them.
"What Are These Things? High Tech Ninja Weapons?" Naruto Asks. He Blinks In Suprise Upon Seeing A Orange Fox Motif On The Top.
"The Nine Tails!?" Naruto Thought In Shock.
Sakura Also Notices A Pink Slug Motif On Top Of Hers As Well.
"Is That Lady Katsuyu? Lady Tsunade's Summon!" Sakura's Interest Peaked Slightly.
"These Launcher Things Came With Them Too..." Naruto And Sakura Grab The Launcher Grip And Gently Pull The String As The Winder Moved.
"Huh..." Naruto Said As Both Of Them Notice A ginger red headed boy, 14-Year-Old Gingka Hagane walking through town Across From Him.
"His Headband..." Both Ninja Notice The One Winged Pegasus Headband Easily.
"Hurry! The match is already starting!" Said a boy as he and another boy ran past the Two Ninja.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Said the other boy.
"Wait Hold On A Second!" Sakura Calls Out To Them.
"We Need To Ask You Something!" Naruto Adds As The Second Boy Freezes And Turns To Them.
"What!?" He Shouts.
"What Is This Place? Where Are We?" Sakura Asks As The Boy Blinks.
"Metal Bey City!" He Runs Off.
"Metal Bey City?" The Two Ninja Say In Confusion.
Gingka stopped walking and watched the two boys run off.
"Hmph." He Said.
Back In The Beyblade Stadium...
Sagittario hits the other bey As The Clash Continued.
"Take that!" Said Kenta. Sagittario then hit the opponent's bey, knocking it out of the stadium.
"Bummer!" Said the other boy.
"That is a stadium out! The winner is, give it up for, Kenta Yumiya! He now advances to the third round!" Said blader DJ.
"Alright!" Said Kenta With A Little Cheer.
"Aw. This totally bites Hard." Said the other boy as he held up his bey points. Kenta also held up his. Kenta now has 1250 bey points, while his defeated opponent has 840 bey points.
"Booyah!" Said Kenta.
The crowd cheered Kenta on, unaware that two teenage boys were watching.
"Not Bad... I Guess..." One Said With A Grin.
"Whatever... He's Fresh Meat." The Other Said.
"Yeah!" Kenta shouted.
Naruto And Sakura Continued Walking Around As They Continued To Process Arriving In Metal Bey City.
"So... It Looks Like This Place, Metal Bey City Isn't A Village At All..." Naruto Said... "But A City In This Weird Nation Called Japan."
"Actually They Call It A Country... Something Tells Me This Isn't Home." Sakura Sighed.
"This Place... Is So Weird... What The Hell's Going On Here... I See Giant Screens, Strange Moving Machines, Weird Style Clothes, And These Little Digitial Scrolls People Keep Tapping On..." Naruto Laments.
"I Think... When Madara Used That Jutsu... We Were Sent To Another World..." Sakura Said. "Its The Only Thing That Makes Sense."
"What Do You Mean A Whole Other World?" Naruto Asks.
" I Don't Know Exactly And I Don't Have Enough Information To Figure It Out..." Sakura Said.
"All We Can Do Is Keep Investigating." Naruto Said. "And Use These Things I Guess..." Naruto Gazes At His Beyblade.
"Yea That's Right! I Think... I've Seen This Type Of Weapon Before Somewhere... Tenten Showed It To Me On A Mission Once." Sakura Glances At The Launcher. "Its Supposed To Fire Shuriken..."
"Oh... Then Are These Things Supposed To Be This World's Shuriken?" Naruto Said.
"I Guess So." Sakura Said As They Walked Off.
Nearby... Gingka is now sitting on a water tower, gazing at the view of the city. He Briefly Stares At The Ninja With A Interested Look.
"Looks Like I'm Not The Only Newcomer In Town." Gingka Said.
"Get ready, Beyblade fans! It's time for the quarter final! First up: Koji Yamada vs Kenta Yumiya!" Said the DJ. Kenta approached the stadium. Facing Koji.
"Ready. Set." Began DJ.
Both Kenta and Koji put their beys in their launchers.
3!
2!
1!
"Come on! Let it Rip!" Said Kenta as he launched his bey into the stadium.
After Awhile, Naruto And Sakura Both Grabbed Lunch At A Local Ramen Bar Since They Were Still New To Metal Bey City And Didn't Know The Cuisine. Naruto Was Merely Disappointed At The Level Of Mediocrity The Ramen Displayed As It Left A Uninteresting Taste In His Mouth. While Sakura Seemed To Slurp It Up Just Fine.
"I Don't Get It Though. This Whole Place Could Of Been Created By Madara's Jutsu... But It Doesn't Look Like The Citizens Mean Us Any Harm." Sakura Said As They Continued Walking Across The Streets.
"Right... And We Don't Really Know This Place... Just Its Name... And Its Nation..." Naruto Adds. "But The People We Encountered Treat Us Like We Belong..."
"Everyone's Different... In Some Way... But I Can't Wrap My Head Around It... Maybe We Should Go See Metal Bey City's Kage... Maybe They Could Help." Sakura Suggests.
"I Don't Think Kage Are Here... Hell I Don't Think Any NINJA Are Here... Just Us." Naruto Said.
"If That's The Case... Then... This World Might Actually Be Decent." Sakura Smiles As Naruto Stares At Her With A Befuddled Expression.
"What!? Sakura... This Isn't Home Though... What About The Leaf Village?" Naruto Said.
"We'll Figure It Out... We Need More Time To Adapt Here First." Sakura Reminds Him.
"Anything Madara Made Can't Be 'Decent'... I Call Bullshit." Naruto States.
"Really? I Mean There Aren't Any Big Threats Around Here... It Could Be Peaceful." Sakura Said.
"Have You Forgotten! Its Fake!... Ugh... Nevermind That... The Sun Looks Like It's Setting Soon... Lets Find A Place To Stay Along With Some Necessities." Naruto Said As He Paces Off.
"Hang On. Wait A Minute..." Sakura Follows Behind Him.
As The Shinobi Left, Back To The Water Tower Gingka was now sleeping on the water tower while holding his Beyblade, Storm Pegasus in his right hand.
"Pegasus... Gooo..." He Mutters In His Sleep.
Back At Kenta's Tournament, Him And His Friends Were Leaving The Arena After He Suffered A Loss Against Koji. Ending His Tournament Run.
"(Sighs). After all that, I only got into the top eight?" Kenta said. He and three other boys were going down an escalator.
"The last time we watched, you didn't even make it to the third round. At least you're getting, uh, a little better. Right?" Said Kenta's first friend, Osamu. Kenta and his two friends got off the escalator.
"Yeah but you lost in the third round so you're getting a little worse." Said the third boy known as Takashi.
"I have a cold." Osamu laughed.
"Next time you should try using my Beyblade." Said the third boy before pulling out his bey. "You could get a lot further using an attack type. Don't you think?" Takashi Tells Kenta.
"Well, thanks." Said Kenta. "But I Wanna get stronger with Sagittario. I think we make a good team. I know we can win together. Right, Sagittario, old buddy?"
"Y-yeah. Right. I guess it doesn't mean anything if you Don't win with your own Beyblade." Said Kenta's third friend, Akira.
"In the end, the only way to get better is to practice, huh?" Osamu said as he, Kenta and the other two boys continued walking.
"Alright! Lets get our act together and practice." Said Osamu.
"Lets have one more battle." Osamu said.
"Hey guys, look." Said Takashi. All three boys look at the sky and saw it was getting late.
"Aah! How did it get so late so fast? I gotta get home." Said Osamu.
"Battle you later, Kenta." Said Takashi as he and Osamu ran off.
"Keep spinning guys!" Said Kenta. Kenta was now running home, Happy And Energized. "Stronger, huh? If I keep practicing, the sky is the limit."
Kenta Daydreams About Being A Godlike Blader.
"Check it out! Talk about lightning in a battle! We have our winner!" Said DJ.
"Alright!" Kenta said.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, please give it up for the winner of the national tournament and new holder of the title, blader number one, Kenta, king of the Beyblade, Yumiya!" Said DJ.
"Oh hail, king Kenta!" Osamu said.
"Long live the king!" Takashi added.
"Thank you! Thank you so much everyone! I'd like to thank my Beyblade and my agent." Said Kenta, who was holding a golden trophy.
The Daydream Ends As Kenta Continued On His Way.
"I wonder if I should thank my mom." Kenta said as he kept walking. Kenta then bumped into something and landed on his bottom. He looks up and sees a fat boy, Benkei Hanawa. and the two boys who were watching him earlier. Along With A Bunch Of Others. The Face Hunters.
"What's your problem?" Asked Benkei.
"I fell on my butt?" Said Kenta.
"What, you think this is funny?" Asked the boy on the left.
"So you think its a joke, buddy? A little shrimp like you running into mister Benkei, hmm?" Said the boy on the right.
"B-b-b-b-b-but I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose." Said Kenta Fearfully.
"BAH!" Roared Benkei, causing Kenta to flinch.
"That isn't exactly the point, is it my little friend?" Said Benkei.
"It isn't?" Kenta questioned.
"Nope. To make up for it, You can face mister Benkei in a bey battle. When you lose, we get all your points." Said the boy on the right.
"All of them? Wait! You guys are Face Hunters, aren't you?" Kenta questioned, getting to his feet.
"Nice one, you noticed." Said the boy on the right.
"And we know you have a few points saved up." Said the boy on the left. Kenta Shook His Head.
"No way. You can't have all my Beyblade points! If you want them, just enter a face off and win them fairly. That's how it's done." Said Kenta.
"Do you actually think we'd earn a measly 10 or 20 points using the standard rules?" Questioned the boy on the right.
Kenta then turned around to run away but was surrounded by more Face Hunters.
"If you don't wanna lose your points, all you gotta do is beat Benkei." Said face hunter.
"Yeah, yeah. He'll show us the awesome skills of the competition top eight, right?" Said another face hunter.
Kenta was now frightened and was in tears as the face hunters laughed at him. "S-somebody. SOMEBODY HELP ME!" Kenta screamed.
Sakura And Naruto Were Inside A Cornerstone To Buy Food And Gather Information. So Far... The Things They Were Told...
Were Mind Boggling.
"Are You Freaking Kidding Me? So Not Only Is This World Completely New! Along With The Planets, Galaxies, And UNIVERSE ITSELF! And Isn't Fake! With High Tech Cities, Various World Leaders, And The Works... But No Ninja Exist AND Chakra Don't Exist." Naruto Stresses.
"Yes... It Seems So... So Madara Creating This World Is Completely Outta The Question... But Why Would He Send Us Here? It Still Doesn't Add Up." Sakura Said.
"Who Knows... Question Is... How Do We Get Home?" Naruto Asks.
"I Already Asked About That... They Don't Know What Were Talking About... But The Short Answer Is... There Is No Way... They Can't Tell Us..." Sakura Said.
"Then Theirs Only One Option... Find Madara!" Naruto Decides.
"Again... He's Probably Gone... So We May Be Outta Luck... Look, Lets Find Us A Place To Stay, And Use These To Communicate." Sakura Buys Some Toy Walkie Talkies.
"Cheap But OK..." Naruto Mumbled.
They Walk Outta The Shop To Find Different Houses And Apartments... Yet None Of Them Were Vacant. They Turned A Sharp Right Towards A Downhill Towards A Subway.
"Maybe We Should Travel Deeper Into The City." Naruto Suggests.
"Your Right About That. But Look At The Fee... Its Too High Price." Sakura Sighs Upon Seeing The Steep Price.
"The Hell? Its Just A Dark Tunnel. Lets Just Walk Though It." Naruto Said.
"What!? No You Idiot! We Could Get Hurt! Cmon... Lets Find Sometwhere Else To-" Sakura Walks Away As She Hears A Cry.
"SOMEBODY HELP ME!" A Young Voice Shouts. Catching Sakura's Attention.
"Sounds Like Trouble..." Sakura Flares Up As He Traces The Sound Of The Scream Down Towards The North. "I'll Go Check It Out!"
"Wait... Wha!- Sakura! Where Are You Going Now!?" Naruto Chases After Her.
Meanwhile... Gingka is still sleeping on top of the water tower... But His Snore Bubble Finally Pops As He Sits Up.
"There... That Was A Nice Nap... Now Then! Time To Continue On The Path Of Exploration! And To Find New Bladers To Fight! Hopefully Strong Ones!" Gingka Hops Down The Water Tower With Storm Pegasus And Heads Left.
Meanwhile, Kenta Was Inside A Dark Corridor Under The Bridge In A Forced Battle Against Benkei While The Face Hunters Watched. The Kid Was Shivering Hard.
"Ha! Yell all you want. No one is coming to help you. Alright! Lets get ready to battle!" Benkei said, aiming his launcher.
Kenta tearfully aimed his launcher.
"Here we go. 3!" Began a face hunter.
"Stop it, please! I don't wanna fight this kind of battle." Kenta tearfully pleaded.
"2!" Added another face hunter.
"1!" Said two other face hunters.
"Let it Rip!" Said Benkei as he launched his bey. Kenta launched his bey as well and the two beys began to collide with each other.
"My grandma spins harder then that." Benkei laughed.
"Yeah, looks like you're the top 8 of baby bladers." Added another face hunter. The other face hunters just laughed.
"Come on Saggitario!" Kenta said. The two beys continued to hit each other.
"Ooh. That tickles!" Benkei said. His bey then hit Saggitario, sending it flying. It bounced off the cealing and fell to the ground, only to be hit by Benkei's bey again, again and again.
"This isn't fair! Stop it already!" Kenta said.
"Well then, shall i finish this off now?" Benkei questioned. His bey then stopped hitting Saggitario. "Watch closely. You might wanna take notes. THIS IS HOW YOU ATTACK!" Benkei's bey then charged at Saggitario.
"Saggitario!" Kenta screamed. Just as Benkei's bey was about to collide with Kenta's bey, a kunai is thrown and Knocks it Away before it could collide with Saggitario.
Benkei's Bey Falls Motionless Behind Him.
"What?! But how?!" Benkei questioned in shock. "Is That A Knife!?"
"Hey!" Said the figure standing outside the tunnel. Sakura. "You Leave That Kid Alone! Now!"
"What did you say?" Asked a face hunter." Who do you think you are?" Benkei asked.
"Sakura. Sakura Haruno." Sakura Said.
"Sakura?" Kenta questioned.
"So you think you're a tuff girl!" Said a face hunter.
"Not a smart move to get in the way of my battle." Benkei said. A face hunter then handed Benkei his bey. "Alright then. If you really wanna help this kid, then battle us."
"So You Battle... I See..." Sakura Said, Cracking Her Knuckles.
"But this is going to be a handicap match. One vs five." Said a face hunter as he and the other face hunters aimed their launchers.
"What? But that's not fair." Kenta said.
"Just zip it. This is how it's goin down." Said another face hunter.
"So will you battle? Or do you wanna cough up all your points now?" Benkei said.
"I Guess I Will." Sakura Slowly Walks Towards Them.
"No, don't do it! This is my battle! It has nothing to do with you!" Kenta said.
"Don't Worry, kid." Sakura said as he approached Kenta.
"But..."
"I'm not gonna lose to these guys." Sakura said cuts Kenta off.
"Okay." Kenta said.
"Sakura..." Naruto Is Seen Watching From Afar.
"Heh, this ain't no joke! Does this girl think she's funny or something?" A face hunter asked.
"Who cares, lets do this! Let it-" Benkei said... Before He Could Launch, Sakura Ran Forward, Clocked Back Her Fist And Gives A Right Jab Straight Into Benkei's Face. The Impact Was Nothing Compared To Her Normal Punches In Her Own World Considering The Lack Of Chakra... But It Was Still Enough To Send Benkei Flying Into A Wall.
Everyone Was Shocked, Naruto Simply Sighs.
"Even In A New World Sakura Still Has Brute Strength..." Naruto Blinks.
"W-W-What!?" Kenta Stammers.
"You Hurt This Kid Again... And The Next Punch Will Be Worse." Sakura Growls.
"What The HECK Is Wrong With You!? That REALLY Hurt!" Benkei Shouts. "We Were Going To Beybattle! You Know What... Your REALLY Getting It Now!" The Large Boy Picks Himself Up While Rubbing His Wounds And Preparing To Launch.
"You Were Supposed To Launch Your Beyblade... Not Punch Him." Kenta Meekly Said.
Beyblade?" Sakura Asks.
"Do It You Guys! Let It Rip!" Benkei And The Face Hunters All Launch As Sakura Digs Her Beyblade And Launcher Outta Her Pocket And Replicates Them Rather Easily.
"And Go!" Sakura Pulls On The String Releasing Her Own Beyblade. It Races Around The Other Beyblades And With A Blue Energy Omitting From It. One Hit Sends The Beys Flying.
"Was That Chakra!?" Sakura Thought. "Is That Why We Don't Have Chakra..."
"Whoa, it's too strong! It wasn't even 5 seconds and she won!" Kenta thought.
"That Was!-" Benkei Sputtered.
Sakura then Notices Her pointer and gained 50 bey points.
"Are These... Digital Points?" Sakura Asks.
"Wha..." Kenta Said.
"What You Only Have 50 Points!? Useless! Your Worse Than The Kid!" Benkei Spat.
"But I've never seen so much Power!" Added another face hunter.
"Sakura's Not Someone You Should Mess With." Naruto Finally Reveals Himself.
"Theirs Another One..." Kenta Thought.
"Are You Are..." Benkei Growls.
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki You Know!" Naruto Said.
"You Want Some Too!?" Benkei And Face Hunters Ready Their Launchers Again.
"Ah... You Use Those Weird High Tech Shuriken Weapons Too... Sure Bring It Fatso." Naruto Said As Benkei Launches.
"Let It Rip!" The Face Hunters Once Again Launch As Naruto Does The Same.
"OK. Show Me Your Will To Fight!"
This Time, A Hidden Claw Emerges From The Beyblade And Swipes At The Face Hunters Beys... Again... They Were Defeated Rather Easily As Benkei's Beyblade Slams Into His Groin
"AhHhHhh... My... Balls..." Benkei Groans!
"They're on a completely different level! There's no way we can win!" Said another face hunter.
"I'll remember this!" Benkei said as he and the other face hunters ran off.
"They Were Weak." Naruto Flatly States.
"That Takes Care Of That." Sakura Smiles. "Hey, Are You OK Kid?"
"Wow! So cool!" Kenta said in excitement To The Two Of Them.
As Kenta, Naruto, And Sakura Finished Their Business With The Face Hunters... Gingka Was On The Other Side Of Town. Firing His Pegasus At Some Steel Structures, Breaking Them Apart.
"Don't Worry Dad... I'm Training Every Day To Become Strong." Gingka Said As He Stares Into The Stars.
"And As For You... You'll Get Yours... You Monster." Gingka Glares As He Notices Another Group Of Face Hunters Slowly Approaching Him.
"What's Up?" Gingka Asks.
"Do You Realize Where You Are... Fool! This Area Is For The Face Hunters Only!" A Face Hunter Shouts.
"Aren't Warehouses Public?" Gingka Smirks.
"Not This One!" Another Snaps At Him.
"Now Cough Up Your Points!" They Ready Their Bey Launchers.
"Hmmm... I Don't Know... Should I?" Gingka Asks.
"YES!" They All Shout In Annoyance.
"OK... If You Beat Me I Will." Gingka Hops On Top Of The Steel Structure.
"LET IT RIPPP!" The 15 Face Hunters All Launch As Gingka's Storm Pegasus Blasted Forward In A Flash Of Blue Light Which Pierced All Their Beys And Left A Huge Dent In The Wall.
"Uhhhh..." Everyone Gulps.
"Heh!" Gingka Reveals His Beypointer.
37,000 Points.
"OVER 30,000! WHAT IN THE WORLD!?" They All Shout.
"That's WAY Too Many!" One Is In Awe.
"Forget It, You Don't Fight Like True Bladers." Gingka Shook His Head While Retrieving Pegasus.
"Why You!- You'll Pay! Wait Till Kyoya Finds Out About You!" They Retreat.
"Whatever..." Gingka Said.
Gingka Starts On His Way Again. But He's Left To Wonder.
"Who's Kyoya?"
Naruto, Sakura, And Kenta are now walking through the riverbank at nighttime.
"That was awesome, Naruto! Sakura! Do you mind if I call you Naruto And Sakura? How about Mr. Uzumaki And Miss Haruno? Uh-no, lets go with Nauto And Sakura. You rock You Two. I'm Kenta by the way, Kenta Yumiya. Thanks for helping me. I don't know how to repay you. Lets see what i got here. Half a donut? Mr. Froggy Tookus? Lent." I've got nothing." Kenta said.
Naruto And Sakura Chuckle As They Face The Little Boy.
"You dont need to thank Us. Just tell Us who those guys were back there." Naruto said.
"Who, them? Their the face hunters." Kenta answered.
"The face hunters?" They Both questioned.
"Yeah. They force younger opponents into battles and steal their points. They've done it to alot of my friends. Their just bullies." Kenta said.
"What Kind Of Battle?" Naruto Said.
"Beyblade Battles Of Course." Kenta Perks Up. "I Think Sakura Didn't Understand Since She Tried Punching Them."
"And What's Beyblade?" Sakura Asks. Kenta Blinks In Confusion.
"You Don't Know What Beyblade Is? Its The Coolest Game Ever, You Take Your Beyblade, Place It On The Launcher And Let It Rip Against Another Beyblade! You Win When The Other Bey Is Knocked Out Or Stops Spinning. Its Really Fun!" Kenta Said.
"Huh... Interesting... Never Really Had That Back Home." Naruto Said.
"Really? You're not from here? Well where are you from, You Two? Tell me." Kenta said.
"Where from?" Naruto began. He And Sakura then jumped over the railing and landed of the grass on Their backs. "Our Home... Is Somewhere Else.
"Huh?" Kenta said.
"We're traveling around the whole country to search To Learn More About This Place, and become the world's strongest Ninja... To Be Hokage." Naruto said.
Kenta then hopped over the railing and slid down the grass next to Them. "The whole country by yourselves?" Kenta asked.
"Yep." Sakura answered.
"Wow! That's so cool! I'll bet you fought a lot of tough battles. That must be what makes you so strong. I don't wanna bug you too much. You must be tired. I'll let you rest." Said Kenta. "Anyway, how can I become stronger like you?"
Naruto And Sakura then sat up. "Stronger?"
"Yeah. It's normal for a blader to wanna become stronger, right? I know i need to work on my attack power and stamina. If only i could become as strong as you Two, Strength, Speed, And The Works. Those face hunters wouldn't be able to make a fool out of me." Kenta said.
"Stronger... At Beyblade... Well We Don't Know Anything About It..." Sakura Begins
"Hmm. It takes a lot of heart." A Voice said.
Everyone Turns To Find Gingka Watching Them As He Too Plopped Onto The Grass. "Hey There."
"Wait What?" Sakura Asks.
"It Takes heart?" Kenta questioned.
"Yes it does. Because a Beyblade attacks you here." Gingka said as he put his right hand on his chest.
"Uhhh..." Naruto Said.
"I Don't get it." Kenta said.
Gingka then laid back down on the grass and looked at the starry night sky. "Don't worry about it. Just relax like this."
"Like this?" Kenta asked as he laid back down on the grass. As Did Naruto And Sakura, Wanting To Also Learn.
"Okay. Wow!" Kenta Glammers.
"A Beyblade's true strength has nothing to do with attack power or stamina. It attacks using the feelings of the blader who's connected with it. The power of the cosmos is being poured into it. You must put your heart, as big as the starry sky, into it." Said Gingka.
This Once Again Baffled The Ninja.
"The Power Of The Cosmos?" Sakura Said. "Are You Saying Beyblades Have That Much Power!?"
"Yes. Its True..." Gingka Nods As Naruto Sighs Peering At His Own Beyblade.
"I Guess So... Umm..." Sakura Said As Gingka Sat Up.
"Gingka Hagane. And This Is Storm Pegasus." Gingka Shows Off His Beyblade.
"Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto Points To Himself. "I Don't Know The Name Of This Beyblade. But I Guess I'll Call It..."
"Kurama... That's Its Name." A Gruff Voice In Naruto's Beyblade Rung Out. Naruto Blanks Out As He Stares At His Stomach.
"Huh?" Sakura Asks.
"Kurama... This Beys Name Is Kurama." Naruto Said.
"If The Nine Tails Really Is In This Beyblade... I..." Naruto Thought.
"And I'm Sakura Haruno... This Beyblade's Name Is Lady Katsuyu, The Slug Princess." Sakura Said.
"Wow, that's heavy! Really heavy." Kenta said. "Hey, You Three. Are you leaving for the next town soon?" Kenta asked.
Naruto And Sakura Stare At Kenta, Both Sporting Unsure Looks.
He then sat up. "Cause, you know, if you'd like, maybe you All could stay in this town a while." Kenta then saw that Gingka was sleeping.
"Huh?"
"Yeah. Let it Rip." Gingka said in his sleep.
"Never mind." Kenta said. "Well... Mom Might Be Worried If I Stay Out This Late... So I'm Going To Go. Bye Naruto And Sakura! I'll See You Tomorrow!" Kenta Leaves As The Ninja Wave.
"See Ya." They Both Say As Sakura Briefly Feels A Twinge Of Guilt As Kenta Mentioned His Mother. With How Sakura Treated Her Own... She Was Most Certain She Was Actually In The Wrong.
"I Wonder What We'll Do Now... I Didn't Want To Tell Kenta The Truth... But I Think We Should At Least Wait Before Trying To Find Madara Again. Right Naru-" Sakura Stares At Naruto Who Also Fell Asleep.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu." Naruto Said In His Sleep.
"Heh... Idiot." Sakura Smiles.
During The Night, At Some Lone Warehouses, Benkei And All The Face Hunters The Newcomers Faced Were Gathered There With Some Other Face Hunters And Their Leader.
"So, you got your butts kicked. And then you just came crawling back her like little babies." Said a mysterious person before they kicked a barrel at Benkei and the face hunters.
"I'm sorry. But these guys were so Strong." Benkei pleaded. "The Girl Sakura Even Punched Me In The Face!"
"That Naruto Guy Too! A Giant Claw Came Out And Attacked Us! Freaking Crazy!" A Face Hunter Adds.
"No way Man... They Can't Be As Bad As The Scarf Wearing Dude WE Had To Face. His Bey Was Going Faster Than The Speed Of Light! WE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TIME TO BLINK IT WAS THAT FAST!" A Face Hunter Across From Them Shouts.
"True True! And He Had The Nerve To Call Us Fake Bladers! That Guy Pisses Me Off!" Another Adds.
"But if you face Them, Kyoya." Began one of the face hunters.
"Yeah, you could crush him with your Leone." Added another face hunter.
"What was that? How dare you speak the name Leone without my permission." 15 Year Old Kyoya Tategami, The Leader Of The Face Hunters said With A Dangerous Glint In His Eyes.
"I'm sorry sir." Benkei said.
"You will be really sorry if you don't man up and take care of these Idiots." Kyoya said. He was sitting on top of the pile of stacked crates.
"What Should We Do?" Benkei Asks.
Kyoya Whistles As More Face Hunters Emerge.
"Well then...just do whatever you have to do." Kyoya said With An Animalistic Smirk.
The sun comes up and Gingka, Naruto, And Sakura were still sleeping in the same place they was sleeping last night. As they were sleeping, someone approached him.
They woke up to see Benkei towering over Them.
"Havin a nice nap?" Benkei Joked as a smile appeared on his face.
Gingka, Naruto, And Sakura sat up to see that They was surrounded by many more face hunters then last time.
"Great, The Local Circus..." Naruto Groans.
"Not You Guys Again, In The Middle Of The Morning Too." Sakura Sighs.
"We're having a get together and you're All invited." Gingka growled a little under his breath.
"Oh Well..." Gingka Shrugs As Everyone Stands Up.
"You Really Want Another Sock To The Jaw?" Sakura Raises A Brow.
"No! Just Some Revenge!" Benkei Said.
"I See..." Sakura Sighs.
"Fine..." Naruto Said. As The Three Of Them Follow The Face Hunters.
Meanwhile Kenta was running through the city streets to see The Three Of Them again.
"I hope Gingka, Naruto And Sakura are still here. I want Gingka to give me some Beyblade tips today." Kenta said. But when he got to the riverbank, however, they were nowhere to be seen.
"Gingka!" Kenta called out. "Looks like they left to go to the new town after all. But I thought we could all be friends."
Kenta then searched in town to find them. "Well, they couldn't have gone very far yet. they're probably somewhere around town. I gotta find them. where are you Guys? I cant believe you left without saying anything." Kenta said.
"Gingka! Naruto! Sakura!" He called out.
He then saw two face hunters walk into a construction site.
"Huh? Those face hunters again. Don't tell me."
Gingka, Naruto, And Sakura Were surrounded by face hunters as they towered over him on the construction site with Gingka in the middle.
"Gingka Hagane! Naruto Uzumaki! Sakura Haruno!" Benkei began. "You thought you were pretty clever embarrassing us yesterday. So today we're gonna return the favor with the face hunters specialty. A 500-bey battle!"
All the face hunters got their beys ready including Benkei.
"Excuse Me 500!? We Barely Know Beyblade!" Sakura Argues.
"Don't Care!" Benkei Barks.
"Leave It Sakura... Its No Use Arguing." Naruto Said.
"Alright. I accept. a hundred bladers or a thousand." Gingka said.
"Gingka! Are You Sure?" Sakura Said.
"Yep! Don't Worry About It." Gingka Assures Her.
"I Accept Too!" Naruto Said. "And You Sakura?
"... Yep... Guess I'm In Too!" Sakura Declares.
"Fine." Said Benkei.
"Ha! Now you're gonna pay for your big mouth." Said a face hunter.
"Yeah. We'll teach you what happens when you cross the face hunters." Added another face hunter."
Maybe you'd like to take a moment to kiss your points goodbye." Said another face hunter.
"Like We Have Any!" Naruto Retorts.
The face hunters just laughed. Kyoya was scouting the upcoming battle. Kyoya was laying sideways.
"Well then. Lets get this party started." Benkei said. He then aimed his launcher.
3!
2!
1!
"Guys!" Kenta shouted as he ran in.
"Let it Rip!" Benkei said as he and the other face hunters launched their beys at Everyone's direction.
"And Go!" Only Sakura Launches.
All the other face hunters were laughing as they watched the blades fly in all directions. Kenta then arrived on the scene just in time to see what was going down.
"This does not look good!" Kenta said as he watched the bey battle take place. "Their everywhere! There are just too many Beyblades! It's impossible to tell where a ricocheting bey might come in from!"
Sakura Was The Only One Attacking. Her Bey Was Swerving All Over The Place Occasionally Hitting One Or Two Beys Outta The Way.
"Nothing warms my heart like a nice five hundred bey battle." Benkei said. "Beys Bounce Around Everywhere Increasing Speed And Strength. And Its Extra Unpredictable!"
"He's doomed. No one survives a one hundred bey attack." Said a face hunter.
"So hurry up and lose. We have brunch reservations." Added another face hunter.
One of the beys then cut Gingka's blue bandana. Other Slices Naruto's Hi Ate. And One More Cuts Sakura's Arm.
"These Hurt Ow!" Sakura Jumps Back. "You Two! What Are You Doing!? Get Your Butts Moving And Fight! I'm Not Going To Be The One Doing The Heavy Lifting! CHAAAAAA!" Sakura Powers Her Bey With Chakra To Blast Away A Group Of 20 Beys.
"Look out, Naruto! Gingka!" Kenta warned.
"Looks like your big buddies are too scared to move." Benkei said.
"Stop it! Stop it already! This isn't a real bey battle! Gingka, Naruto, just run!" Kenta said.
"Zip it! You just zip it and watch!" Benkei shouted to Kenta.
"Yes, Kenta! Watch! I'm not going anywhere." Gingka said.
"Yea Man... Something Like This Is Easy For Me." Naruto Smirks Tightening His Headband.
"But Gingka..." Kenta began.
"Remember, Kenta. A bey's strength doesn't come from its attack power or stamina." Gingka said.
"What?" Benkei asked.
"And it doesn't matter how many there are." Gingka said.
"Or Their Trickery And Conception." Naruto Adds.
A blue aura surrounded Gingka. And A Orange Aura Surrounded Naruto. His Whiskers Darkened.
"Is Naruto Using The Nine Tails Power Again... No! Impossible... And What's Gingka Doing!? Does HE Have Inner Power Too!?" Sakura Gasps.
As Kyoya's expression changed to a confused look.
"What The Hell Is That Energy?" He Thought.
"Lets roll!" Gingka said before getting out his launcher and pointer. He then got out his bey. "Its show time, storm Pegasus!" Gingka in put his bey in his launcher.
"Yep! Follow Ya Gingka! Lets Go Kurama! This One Time Please!" Naruto Does The Same As He Got Out His Launcher And Pointer, Along With His Bey. "Nine Kurama! Its Time!"
"Gingka!" Kenta said.
"Naruto!" Sakura Also Says.
"Let it Rip!" Gingka said as he launched his bey, Pagasus.
"Let It Rip!" Naruto Copies Him And Sends Out Kurama.
Pagasus And Kurama sent every bey flying.
"No way!" Said a face hunter in shock.
"You kiddin me!?" Benkei added.
"Nice One Naruto!" Sakura Cheers.
Kyoya stood up at the sight of this.
"Hmm. Thats impressive." Kyoya said.
"KURAMA SMASH THEM APART NOW!" Naruto Commands As Kurama Slowly But Surely Emerged From The Bey As A Spirit. The Fox With Nine Tails Boomed Across The Build As The Face Hunters All Stared In Horror.
"Jesus..." Kyoya Muttered.
"WOAH!" Kenta's Eyeballs Grew Wide.
"A Giant Fox!?" Gingka Steps Back.
Kurama With One Swipe, Smashes Down As The Beys All Followed. Over 200 Beys Were Defeated From The One Attack.
"WHAT!?" Benkei Shouts.
"NOOO!" A Face Hunter Shouts As The Sight Of His Broken Bey.
"Amazing." Kenta said. "Now i understand what gingka was talking about." Kenta thought.
"Go, Pegasus! TORNADO WING!" Gingka shouted. Pegasus began to spin around Gingka real fast, creating a twister that picked up all of the face hunters beys.
"That's Cool!" Naruto Exclaims.
"Wind Style!" Sakura Exclaims As Well.
"That's What a true blader's battle is." Kenta thought.
The twister then formed into the form of Pegasus.
"What's happening?" Benkei asked.
The twister then sent the beys flying at the face hunters, Striking Them In The Faces, About 200 More To Be Precise.
"Hey! Don't run away! You guys!" Benkei said. "GRRR! EVERYONE ELSE GOOOOO!"
The Remaining Face Hunters Charge At The Two But Sakura Acts First.
"Not So Fast! Your Also Dealing With Me! SHOW ME YOUR POWER! BURST KATSUYU!" Sakura's Bey Was Last To Reveal Its Spirit. The Massive Slug Summon.
"That's Gramma Tsunade's Slug!" Naruto Exclaimed.
"... A Slug?" Gingka And Kenta Thought.
Lady Katsuyu Shoots Out Acid Which Melts The Girders And Slams Into The Face Hunters And Their Beys. The Last 100 Were Swiftly Defeated.
"RUNNNNNN!" Benkei Shouts before losing his balance and falling on his groin. "Mommy!" He said before he fell off the construction. "You'll pay for this! Ow!" Benkei said as he ran off.
Gingka, Naruto, And Sakura Stood There As The Beys Were All Defeated.
"Like I said...the difference between winning and losing..." Gingka the caught his bey.
"Is the blader's spirit." He Finished.
"I Guess So." Sakura Smiles.
"That's Really REALLY Corny... But... It Also Kinda Makes Sense." Naruto Shrugs. "Nice Job Gingka!"
"You Too Naruto! Sakura!" Gingka Gives The Both Of Them A Fist Bump.
"Yes! I see! That was awesome, Gingka!" Kenta said as he ran up to The Three Of Them.
"Gingka Hagane... Naruto Uzumaki... " Came a male voice. Gingka and Kenta both looked up to see Kyoya and Leo standing up.
"Storm Pegasus, And Nine Kurama huh?" Kyoya said. "At last my friends. It seems some opponents worthy of me and my Rock Leone has made themselves known." He said as he showed Gingka and Kenta his bey.
"I'm Here Too You Know! Damnit!" Sakura Spat Obviously Annoyed She Was Ignored.
"Who are you?" Gingka asked.
"Yea! Spit It Out Now!" Naruto Adds.
"I am Kyoya Tategami." Kyoya Introduces Himself. "Heheheh! This Should Be Interesting!"
Naruto And Sakura Look Towards Each Other And Then At Gingka And Kenta, And Then At Kyoya.
"BRING IT ON!"
