Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Mario


I am sorry for the long wait but I had a lot of stories that were coming out of my head and needed to upload them so I don't lose them. I also had a few that I chose to drop or redo. Not to mention I am going back to the early chapters of my other fics to fix them and add to them. And improving my drawing skills

Thank you, Midnight Lost for helping me edit this chapter.

Review: Hmm, so Naruto will become female huh going to be interesting what he or she looks like when it's all said and done anyway keep up the great work!

Response: yeah, I am still working on the design. And I am glad that you don't find that a reason to stop reading the fic. I hope to keep this fic going and as entertaining as before

Nathair1

Review: FINALLY, a new fantastic chapter

pretty BIG shock to me to find out that bowsette was a girl, to start with

best guess is that the crown is SUPPOSED to turn the one it chooses into a girl

sorry, I haven't played Mariokart in YEARS

maybe he'll choose the motorcycle?

i honestly have NO idea for the track

Response: I felt like making her female from the start would be funny. And that being a large spiky koopa just made everyone think she was a male

Planar-Walking-Entertainment

Review: Would any other naruto characters be joining this race (say, tenten or some of naruto's friends like Ino, Sakura, or hinata), or would it only be naruto for now?

Hiruzen might get a little worried when Naruto vanishes again for the kart tournament (naruto won't tell him).

Wonder If Bowsette will contemplate throwing the race a little because of what Mario said? (Even if she contemplates it, I know her answer: she's the queen of Koopa's she has to be the best. The runt will have to earn it. To simplify, she'll contemplate, then ignore as she'll give it her all like she usually does.)

Response: you will find out in this chapter. Hiruzen might but…. . Who knows what Bowsette will do? :P

Review: Luigi's Circuit for the Wii, there're no actual obstacles besides the inactive Warp Pipes plus there are the ripple Banks. I won't suggest Waluigi's Stadium be it the original from the Gamecube, or the remake for the Wii. The original if you missed that jump you'd have to make your way back around to the jump and the Wii remake had the stunt ramps around the Wooden Pirahna Plants.

Response: ooh, nice choice for a first track

God of Wind 200

Review: Dose Naruto gender have to switch or can it be Kurama instead

Response: it was one of the things that the one that gave me this challenge said had to be part of it. Though I might be able to change it since this has become more my fic than his since I built it up to this point

Calderoneric758

Review: Why not a custom one like a bike that link has cause one versatile and if not... I got nothing else

Response: hmm, interesting. I would have to design it but it should be fun to build it.

Dragon and Sword Master

Review: I enjoyed this chapter a lot and I have a feeling that Tenten will be enjoying the Mushroom Kingdom as much as Naruto is.

Response: she might but we will have to wait to see if she goes.

Review: looking to seeing Tenten's reaction to the Mushroom Kingdom.

also wonder what she wants to talk to Naruto about.

Looking forward to next update for this

Response: well here is the next update and you will see what it is she wants

Midnight Lost

Review: Alright, finally caught up.

Kind of hoping Naruto does win the race, and really am looking forward to more bonding between Naruto, Peach, and even Bowsette. In one of your replies, you said this was a harem, so also eager to see who you have chosen to fill the spots.

Ain't Tenten going to be in for a surprise when she sees the Mushroom Kingdom. Lol

Response: take your time, the fic ain't going anywhere except forward. As for the spots, they are still open. Well, a couple are taken but there is still a couple of spots left

Review: Don't tell me you're having the crown turn him into a girl

Response: that is the thing about the crown. But after this story has gone far enough, I am going to see if I can change that aspect but as of now, yes

Review: It would probably funny if bowesste followed naruto back to his world and just started fights the entire time she was there

Response: interesting idea. I could use that


Chapter 7: Final Preparations

Naruto wasn't sure what Tenten wanted from him but he shrugged and invited her in. Once she was inside, he closed the door and asked. "So what is it that you wanted?"

Tenten turned to Naruto with a critical eye. "I wanted to know what it is you are hiding!"

Naruto was a bit startled by the sudden attitude change and felt himself begin to sweat as he wasn't sure how the hell she was able to tell he was hiding something. "I… don't know what you are talking about?"

Tenten was close to rolling her eyes since Naruto's eyes were going in every direction but at her. This was one thing Naruto could not do. He is absolutely terrible at lying. 'How the hell does he expect to be a shinobi if he can't even lie?" After letting Naruto's head shift in random directions for a minute, she brought her hand up before slamming it on top of his head to get him to stop. "Hmm? Naruto?"

The boy's nerves were on alert when she stopped his head but now he was in full panic as he realized that her hand wasn't on his head, it was on the crown!

"What is that?" She began to pull the hood off his head but didn't finish as Naruto grabbed the hood and ran into the other room. Tenten realized that whatever she felt was something he was hiding, and as his childhood friend, it was her duty to find out why and bug him about it. "Naruto! Get back here!" She chased after him with the goal of doing just that.

"Never!" He began to panic as he knew that Tenten was the better chaser. The many games of tag at the orphanage can contribute to that statement.

"You better get back here and tell me what that is or I am going to use you as a kunai pin cushion!"

He began to panic as he knew he wouldn't be able to get away from such a thing. He jumped from the wall to the ceiling fan and hung there for a second, only to drop when Tenten jumped up after him. The two went back and forth in the main room, going over and under the table, around and over the chairs. Naruto even stood on the backrest of two chairs for a second before he lost balance and fell to the ground with the chair flying in the air.

Soon Naruto ran into his bedroom in order to head to the balcony and get away. But as he was halfway across the room, he felt a harsh tug as he was flung to the wall. He blinked as his brain couldn't understand what had happened but when he tried to move his arm, he realized what happened. The sleeve of his jacket was stuck to the wall thanks to a kunai. He hear something to his left and turned his head in time to see something shiny flying in his direction. "Ah!"

*thunk thunkthunkthunkthunkthunkthunkthunkthunkthunk*

Naruto found himself stuck as an outline of his entire body was made with kunai. He saw Tenten smirking at him while twirling a kunai on her finger.

"So, are you going to tell me what you are hiding now, or do you want me to use my old torture methods?" She gave a devious smirk that made Naruto want to hide.

Naruto gulped as he thought of what he could do to get out of this. He tried moving but he was thoroughly pinned to the wall. Now that she was only a couple of feet away, he knew that he didn't stand a chance of escaping. "I'll never tell!" 'Why the hell am I being defiant?'

Tenten hummed at him still holding out on her. "Ok, then." She put away her kunai as she walked up to him. She brought up a hand in order to start torturing him. She always did this when Naruto tried to hide something he did back at the orphanage but…

*nom*

Tenten found a wet pink appendage around her wrist. She followed where it came from and saw that the baby Yoshis were behind her with the pink one being the one that stopped her. Now that she was looking at all the babies, she could see something akin to anger in their eyes.

*nomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnom*

Tenten found all her limbs being restrained and a couple around her waist before she was pulled down. She landed on her back with a soft grunt but before she could even get up, the tongues were retracted as the baby Yoshis jumped on top of her. She wondered what they were about to do till they began to jump up and down on her as if attacking her. "YAH! Stop that! Stop!" She began to laugh as their jumping tickled rather than hurt.

Naruto watched this happen with a smile. He had a small army of cute reptiles that came to his rescue. He wasn't complaining. As Tenten was being jumped upon by the yoshis, he tried to pull himself off the wall but couldn't since he could barely move any of his limbs. After a few futile attempts, he gave up. After a minute of hearing Tenten laughing while he was stuck to the wall, he called out to the Yoshis. "Ok, guys and girls, can you let her up so she can let me down?"

The babies stopped their attack and looked toward Naruto. They didn't move for a few seconds before they jumped off of Tenten, letting her get up.

Once she was free of the Yoshis, she looked to Naruto who was looking at her with a look. It was just a simple look that could be mistaken for just an expressionless one. But she knew what he was really thinking.

He was asking her not to look into it.

She sighed in resignation before she bent down, picked up a stray wire, and tugged it hard, getting the kunai to come out of the wall.

Naruto finally relaxed his pose with the first one pinning his arm being the only one that was still in the wall.

Tenten walked up to him and pulled it out. She watched as he moved his wrist as she put the kunai away. "Is it so bad that you can't tell me?"

Naruto looked at her and saw the slight worry she had for him. She always was the one to make him feel better when he was bullied by the other kids and the caretaker. He thought about whether he should tell her about the crown. But if he did, he would have to tell her where it came from, which would mean he would have to tell her about the Mushroom Kingdom. Though, she didn't really dig too deep into where he had gotten the Yoshi egg and even so, he did want to tell her about the Kingdom since he was considering inviting her to join him there so she could watch him as he raced. His eyes went to the TV that still had the disk player connected. 'I guess it would be easier to start off with that.' He opened his mouth to start telling her till….

"Hey, Tenten, did you find Naruto?"

Naruto was confused about the new voice and moved to the main room to see that Ino, Sakura, and Hinata were standing at his doorway. He turned to look at Tenten and saw that she looked sheepish.

"Oops, I almost forgot that they were waiting for me."

Naruto looked at the girls and asked. "Why were you looking for me? Did I do something?"

Ino huffed as she put her hands on her hips. "You've been acting weird for a while, when you come back you have a new set of clothes and won't take off the hood, you come home with a bunch of these cute Yoshis, and during training, you made a small crater with a kunai. Why do you think we would want to look for you."

Hinata put a hand on Ino's shoulder and tried to calm things down. "What she means is that we are just curious about what is going on. Tenten even said you were hiding something."

Sakura shrugged. "Not just us, even the guys know that something is up with you but they had things to do."

Tenten rolled her eyes. "More like they had excuses."

Naruto groaned as he should have known that they would want to know what was going on after all the stuff he showed off. He was even more unsure if he should tell them. Hell, he was reluctant to tell just Tenten, now these three came in. He looked to his Yoshis for some sort of support but they had gone back to sleep. 'Thanks a lot.' Looking back at the girls, he took a breath through his nose. "Ok, I'll tell you but you have to promise not to tell anyone else. Not your parents, not a sensei, and NOT any shinobi."

The girls were a bit shocked to hear that Naruto was indeed hiding something and didn't want to tell the shinobi.

Tenten narrowed her eyes since if he didn't want any shinobi to know, it could very well be something that could be a threat to the village. But this was Naruto, there was no way that the boy she had grown up with would do something that would threaten the village. Sure, the villagers didn't like him, outright hated him, but Naruto isn't one to be petty enough to seek revenge for something like that. She was torn between trusting her childhood friend and her duty as a genin. "Naruto, you know I am a genin. That means that I am a shinobi and if this is something that can be considered a threat to Konoha, I have to tell my sensei and in turn the Hokage."

Naruto looked her in the eye and held in the hurt that she would consider him a threat at all. He shook his head as he began to explain. "This isn't a threat to Konoha. This is just something I don't want to share with anyone in Konoha. And I don't want the Hokage to know about it since he had been keeping something important to me. It's like he is trying to keep me in the dark about everything that could affect me. I ask him something important and all he ever does is brush me aside. I don't want him to try and take this away from me."

Ino, Sakura, and Hinata shared a concerned look with the blonde of the trio asked. "What is it that is so important to you?"

Naruto shook his head. "I won't tell you if you don't promise that you won't tell anyone!"

The girls eyed the boy for a second and thought about the pros and cons of this.

No matter how this may sound, Naruto isn't the type to bring major trouble to anyone. The three female academy students chose to go with it since it was their friend's secret, with the only genin of the group taking her time to consider it.

Tenten let out a sigh as she chose her friend over her duty. "Alright, Naruto, I promise not to tell anyone. But if this comes back to bite me in the ass, I am using you as a test dummy of my biggest and most dangerous weapons." She pulled out a scroll to emphasize her point.

Naruto didn't feel threatened since the secret wasn't any problem for Konoha. He looked at the other girls and saw them nod to him, saying that they would also keep this a secret for him. Once he got the confirmation, he slumped before pointing behind them at the TV. "That is what I am keeping from everyone."

The girls turned to see what he was pointing at and saw a paused image on the TV.

Hinata was the one that asked. "Naruto, what is that?"

Naruto moved to the TV as he spoke. "It's something that I am going to go to soon. And it's connected with what I have been doing recently." He turned to them as he hit play. "I am going to take part in this since the place I am going to is going to have another one."


An hour passed as they all watched the video Naruto was watching previously. He had started it from the start so that they could see what he had watched before.

None of them said anything as they just sat and watched. Naruto knew that they had questions and were dying to ask them but they had remained silent.

Once the next clip had ended, Naruto paused it and looked at the girls with an expectant look. "...well?" They all gave him a blank look, unnerving him as it was his first time seeing it. After a few tense seconds, Ino broke the silence.

"Naruto, where the hell is that?"

Sakura nodded in agreement. "I have read all about the Elemental nations and I have never heard anything about the things I have seen in this video.

Tenten crossed her arms as she thought about the missions she had gone on while she was a genin. "Not to mention that I don't recognize any landmarks. With how large the mountains and hills are, it should be easy to get a layout of where it would be but I haven't seen anything like it. Honestly, I would believe it more if you told me that it was a movie or something since it looks like it could be."

Naruto rubbed the back of his head as he chuckled sheepishly. "It's where I got the Baby Yoshis."

They all looked at the sleeping babies and it made a sort of sense to them. They had never seen such an animal before.

Sakura then remembered something. "Wait, is the Yoshi we saw using one of those karts their dad or something?"

Ino had another thought about that. 'Does that mean that the babies would be able to use one like that?'

Naruto shrugged. "I think so. He was the one that gave me the egg when we first met. Princess Peach told me that it was a sign of deep friendship."

Hinata tilted her head. "'Princess Peach'?"

'CRAP!' He let his guard down and spoke the Princess's name. He was still wary of telling them the whole truth but it turns out that he can't keep his mouth shut. "Uh.. well…." He saw them give him another expectant look and slumped. "She is the person in charge of that area. I met her when I ended up there… by accident."

Tenten couldn't help but see the hole in his explanation. "Naruto, when did you leave Konoha to get there? Not only that, where would this be for you to make it and come back in the amount of time you hadn't been seen?"

The girls understood that way of thinking. In order for this place to exist and not be seen by a genin who has been on missions that took them throughout the nations, it had to be exceedingly far away. But even for shinobi going at full speed, it would take a long time, maybe a month. Two for a round trip. Naruto has only ever been unseen for days.

Naruto chuckled nervously as he didn't think of a way to explain that without telling them the truth. "I um…. Have a special way of getting there."

Ino huffed as she put her hands on her hips. "Naruto, you gotta tell us more than that. You bring up this place that none of us have heard of, not even Forehead who has read every book in the library-" She gestured to Sakura who gave her an indignant look. "- and that there is a princess that none of us have heard of, and you expect us to just accept it with no real explanation?"

Naruto felt sheepish as he was doing a poor job bringing this up to them. "I um…. It's true. I was even thinking of taking you there next time I go." 'Well, I was thinking of asking Tenten if she wanted to go but now you three are here too.'

His classmates looked interested at the prospect of going to this area, but Tenten was still wary.

The weapons user thought about what he had told them and the vague way he says he got there. She looked back to the Baby Yoshis then back to Naruto. This went against what she learned about gathering information but Naruto was a friend. She nodded to the boy. "Ok, if you are going to take us with you, then I guess I can keep this from everyone. Though, I don't see how that is possible since we would need to get past the gate guards."

At this, Naruto chuckled as he was now excited to see their faces when he summons the pipe. "Don't worry, I said I have a special way of getting there. I plan on going in a couple of days, so just meet me at my place and we can head there together."

Tenten shrugged as Naruto was just being so vague about a lot of things, but there was one thing she wanted to know now. Something she wanted to know when she put her hand on his head. "Ok, Naruto but one thing I want to know now. With a straight answer." she towered over him and looked him in the eye. She brought her hand up and pointed it in between his eyes before tilting it up. "What are you hiding under that hood?"

Ino, Sakura, and Hinata were also curious since it was obvious he was hiding something under it but they didn't know what.

Sakura bent forward to try and look under the hood but it was covered up well, "that is true. What are you hiding? Ever since you came back with those clothes, you never take off the hood."

Naruto pulled his hood closer. He was sure that they would laugh at him if they saw him wear such a silly little crown on his head. But they were closing in on him as if he was their prey. Not to mention that Tenten had tried to find out what it was earlier and he had barely been able to keep it a secret. "It's….. Um….nothing."

Ino was the next to push for answers this time. "Come on, Naruto. You know that you are a terrible liar and that all of us know that you are hiding something. So unless you have another head growing out of your hair, you should just show us what you are hiding."

Naruto groaned as Ino's statement made him feel like he should learn how to hide things better. He let out another sigh as he was just being exposed all around today. 'At least this isn't as bad as telling them I have the Kyuubi in me. I still don't know how that happened.' He looked at each of the girls as his mouth thinned. "Just… don't laugh."

This caused the girls to raise an eyebrow, wondering why they would laugh at him. They watched as he slowly lifted the hood off and pulled it down. At first, it didn't look like he had anything to hide till something shined a different gold than his blonde hair. When they saw that, they noticed that there was something on his head and when they focused on it, they saw that it was also pink with white polka dots.

Sakura was the one to ask. "What are you wearing?"

Naruto eyed each of the girls for any sort of judging or sign that they would start laughing at him. Yet so far, all he saw was just slight confusion. Feeling relieved that he wasn't going to be laughed at, he pointed at the crown. "I got this crown when I arrived at Princess Peach's kingdom." He paused and rubbed the back of his neck. "Actually, it accidentally fell on my head when I got there and she told me it gave me some new power."

Sakura snapped her fingers before she pointed to it. "Is that where you got the strength to throw that kunai to the point of making a crater?"

Naruto shrugged. "I think so. I wasn't given all the information about what it gives me."

Ino crossed her arms as she thought about the ability to throw a kunai with that kind of power. "Hey, you mind letting me use that the next time I spar with Kiba? I want to pay him back for ripping my clothes during that spar two weeks ago." she gained an evil aura as she was tempted to punch the dog boy into the ground for that little mishap.

Naruto began to sweat as Ino's aura scared him. He remembered that spar and Kiba had told them that it was an accident. He was trying to injure her to the point she would give up but his first swipe was aimed poorly and it shredded her top, exposing her bra to the rest of the class. Ino swore revenge for that as she ran back toward the class to find something to cover herself up.

Naruto cleared his throat as he spoke to the girl. "Well….. I would if I could, but…. I can't take it off."

Question marks popped up over their heads as they wondered what he meant.

Hinata was the one to vocalize the question.

Naruto pointed to the crown. "I tried taking it off when it landed on my head but for some reason, it won't come off at all no matter how much I pulled."

Tenten eyed the crown for a second before she reached out and grabbed it.

Naruto looked up at her arm before he felt her pull on the crown, causing him to wince.

Tenten felt resistance to her pulling and began to use more strength to try and get it off of his head. After a few tugs with one hand, she brought her other hand to join the first and began to pull harder.

"Ow! Owowowowowowow! Stop it, Tenten! I told you it won't come off!"

Tenten gave one last tug before she let it go. She watched as Naruto rubbed the area around the crown and frowned. "Naruto don't you think it is odd how that thing won't come off you? Maybe they put a seal on it to keep you on your head and track you down or something."

Naruto shook his head. "I don't think so. They don't have chakra in her kingdom so I don't think they would be able to put a seal on it."

Tenten put a hand on her hip as she scowled. "Naruto, the more you tell us about this place, the more unbelievable it is. 'Don't have chakra'? Everyone has chakra. Even civilians have chakra, so you telling me that they don't have chakra makes me think that they put you in some sort of Genjutsu."

Naruto shook his head. "No, I'm serious. Princess Peach told me that she had never heard about chakra. They had another sort of power that they used that was different from chakra."

Tenten shook her head. "For now, I'll assume that is what you believe but I would have to see it for myself if you want to convince me about something like this."

Naruto looked to the other girls to see if they believed him but they all had some level of disbelief on their faces. He grumbled at them not believing him. He was more accepting of the idea that there would be people not having chakra as he was not in attendance when it was discussed that every living creature had chakra thanks to Mizuki coming up with a reason to send him to stand outside, and with Naruto not being patient enough to stand there for who knows how long, skipped the rest of the day.

The girls may not believe Naruto in the fact that they didn't have chakra but they did believe that the people he met must have some form of power. The stuff they saw on the video attributed to that but the girls thought the ones in the video were using chakra-based techniques.

Choosing to move things along, he shook his head and looked at them. "Anyway, I don't think you need to bring anything so just come with whatever you want to bring."

The girls agreed as they didn't know if they should bring anything at all. With each of them making the decision for themselves, they figured that they had done what they needed to do and chose to head out.

As they got to the door, Sakura turned to look at the boy. "Hey, Naruto, wanna come along? We plan on letting the others know and then get something to eat."

Naruto thought about what he would do with the rest of the day and shrugged. He had already seen most of the video he was given so he could do something else. He moved to pick up the baby Yoshis before heading to turn off the TV. he paused when he saw what they had paused and couldn't help but mentally ask himself. 'I wonder who that big guy is? I should ask Bowsette after I beat her in the race since he has a shell like she does.'

The image the video was paused on was a large Koopa that had a spiked shell. One that reminded him of Bowsette.


~Days later, early morning~

It was time for Naruto to head back to the Mushroom Kingdom but this time he was going with more than he originally thought he would.

Tenten, Sakura, Ino, and Hinata were standing outside his apartment door. He had told them to arrive early to make the most of their time in the Mushroom Kingdom.

Naruto opened the door and smiled at them before inviting them in. Once the four were inside, they waited for Naruto to show them how they were getting to the mushroom kingdom.

Naruto saw that each of them had a pack on them, all of varying sizes.

The reason they had packed on them was due to them did not know how far the Mushroom Kingdom was. They stocked up enough for a day or two as they assumed that it wouldn't be that far since it didn't take Naruto that long to leave and come back.

Without anyone noticing that he left.

Tenten also had a small storage scroll attacked to her hip with extra supplies just in case.

Ino noticed that Naruto didn't have any pack or bag to carry for the trip. She looked around to see if he had it on the ground or something but the only thing that looked like it was ready to be taken was the egg bowl with the Yoshis. She smiled at how excited they looked as they were restless and bouncing around each other in the bowl. "Naruto, arent you packed to go?"

Naruto tried his best to keep his snickers in but a few snorts escaped his mouth. Taking a breath, he shook his head. "I don't need one. I didn't think you girls would bring packs for a long trip."

Sakura huffed as she put her hands on her hips. "Well, you haven't told us how we are getting there? All you said was to meet you here and then we can make our way to it."

Naruto still smiled as he picked up the Yoshis. Once they were firmly in his arms, he gestured for them to follow him. He moved into his bedroom since it had more space for them to jump in. Once he was in, he turned to look at them to see that they were all looking at him expectantly. "Ok, I'm about to summon the thing that is going to take us to the Mushroom Kingdom. You girls have to go in first since I don't know if it will stick around if I go in first."

The girls looked at each other before shrugging. They still didn't know what he was talking about but they chose to just wait and see.

Seeing the shrug, he figured that would be the best "yes" he was going to get. He turned to the middle of the room and closed his eyes.

The girls jumped when out of nowhere, a large green pipe was erected out of the ground. They were confused since there was no sign of the floor being damaged, almost like it went through the wooden ground.

Naruto looked at them and smiled. "Well, here it is. Who wants to go in first?"

The cheeky tone that came from Naruto bugged the hell out of Ino as she took her eyes off the pipe and gave him a glare. "Naruto, what the hell is this?"

Naruto gained a look of befuddlement as looked from her to the pipe, and back at her. "It's a green pipe."

Ino groaned in frustration as she was still reeling from the shock of the sudden pipe reveal. "I can see that but how the hell is it even in here?"

Naruto shrugged. "I heard that some shinobi can summon animals, why is this so shocking?"

Tenten had to smirk at that as he had a point. She can summon an immense amount of weapons from her combat scrolls and the legendary sannin are able to summon animals of great size, something she learned about her idol: Tsunade, so it shouldn't be so surprising to summon something like this.

Ino was tempted to hit Naruto for his cheek but her curiosity about this Mushroom kingdom and the pipe that came out of the ground held her fist. She can bonk him on the head later.

Naruto moved over to the pipe and gestured to the top of it. "All you have to do is jump into it and it will take you to the Mushroom Kingdom. So who's first?"

Tenten, Sakura, and Ino were hesitant about going into something they had never seen before.

Hinata on the other hand walked up to it. She saw no mischievousness in Naruto's eyes so she would trust him on this. Taking a breath, she jumped up onto the edge before looking into the black abyss of the pipe. Steeling her nerves, she slid into the pipe.

Naruto smiled as he heard the sound of something entering the pipe, meaning that Hinata had gone through. He looked to the rest and smiled. "Next?"

Ino and Sakura looked at each other and nodded. There was no way they were going to let Hinata show them up. Together, they ran toward the pipe and jumped into it, Ino being the first with Sakura following.

Tenten walked up to the pipe before sighing. 'I gotta stop being so wary about things. This is Naruto here.' She brought her hand up and flicked him on the forehead. "Let's see what it is you've been hiding from us all this time." She jumped into the pipe, not giving him a chance to answer her.

Naruto rubbed his forehead before shaking his head and smiling down at the Yoshis. "Ready?" seeing them bounce in anticipation, he jumped into the pipe himself with a large smile on his face, looking forward to arriving back at the Mushroom Kingdom.

Once he was in, the pipe retracted into the floor.

Just as the pipe vanished, there was a knock on the door, before it opened up to reveal the Hokage. "Naruto?"


Naruto laughed as he was flying through the pipe that was taking him to the Mushroom Kingdom. Even the yoshis seemed to cheer as they were flying through the in-between.

Naruto was launched out of the green pipe and he landed on the stone pathway. He looked around and was happy to see the bright world of the Mushroom Kingdom. He then noticed the girls standing with their backs to him at the railing that looked over the town that was close by. He walked up to them and looked at their faces to see the look of shocked awe each of them had. "Well?"

Without taking their eyes off the world they were now in, they spoke.

Hinata took in the sight of all the beauty in front of her. "Naruto, this is amazing."

Sakura nodded as she rubbed her eyes. "I first thought that you were making things up but….. This."

Ino got out of her stupor and looked at the boy. "This place looks incredible. So different from Konoha. I can see why you would like to come here."

Tenten nodded. "Yeah, with how….. Happy this place feels, I can see this as a vacation spot. A place you can come to when you are feeling down or just want to have a bright environment."

Naruto smirked at them. "Told ya so." He then gestured for them to turn around. Seeing them do so, he moved to stand in front of them. He was surprised when the Baby Yoshis jumped out of the bowl he was carrying and scuttled around his feet before positioning themselves behind him. He smirked at that as it seemed they were joining him in his presentation. One of them even jumped under him and bumped the bowl out of his hands with it landing on a bunch of the babies as they carried it around. Making a grand gesture to the massive castle that was on the other side of the courtyard, he announced, with Yoshis bouncing around. "Welcome, to Princess Peach's castle. The home of the ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom."

"Naruto!"

Said blonde male turned to the castle to see the mentioned princess waving at him. Looking at his friend from Konoha, he waved his hand for them to follow. "Come on, let's go meet the princess!" He ran toward the woman with the girls following him.

Each of the Konoha females wondered, not for the first time, how Naruto met an actual princess.

When they made it to stand in front of the princess, Naruto jumped at the woman and hugged her.

The sight of this caused the newcomers to freeze. Naruto was hugging a princess, something that didn't fit any cordial custom they knew of. They were even more stunned when they saw her return the hug.

The two separated after a few seconds and Princess Peach smiled at him. "It is good to see you again, and just in time too. I was just on my way to begin the final preparations." She then looked up at the new faces. "Are these friends from your home? The ones that you mentioned you wanted to bring?"

When they were noticed, the four girls bowed in respect as they were in the presence of royalty.

Princess Peach gave a soft laugh before addressing them. "You don't need to bow to me, any friend of Naruto is a friend of mine."

Hearing that, the girls stood back up straight but remained slightly rigid, so as not to seem too relaxed.

Naruto moved to his friends and began to gesture to each as he introduced them. "Yeah, this is Tenten, Ino, Sakura, and Hinata. I told them about me taking part in the race and they got curious. I showed them the video that you gave me and wanted to see this place even more."

Princess Peach nodded as she folded her hands in front of her and gave a small bow in greeting. "Well, welcome to the Mushroom Kingdom and I hope that you find your visit to be enjoyable."

Tenten chose to be the leader of this squad since Naruto doesn't seem to be the one to take charge and represent the village. "We're sure we will. I do want to ask, where in the Elemental nations are we? Naruto hasn't been very clear on where the Mushroom Kingdom is and with how we got here, I couldn't get a solid direction."

Peach looked at Naruto with a raised eyebrow. "You didn't tell them about the world pipe?"

Naruto sheepishly rubbed the back of his head. "I didn't think they would believe me if I told them that we aren't in the Elemental Nation anymore. They had a hard time believing the stuff I told them anyway."

The Princess nodded. "I suppose that being told that you are in another world would be difficult to believe." She then spoke to the girls. "Well, to tell you the truth, you are no longer in your world." seeing the surprise on their faces, she continued. "The pipe you used to arrive here is a world pipe. A Long forgotten one from what we could tell and your world has long since disconnected from our own. Though that is only a theory since it might just be a broken world pipe that accidentally connected with yours."

The girls were stunned to hear about them being in another world. They never thought about such a thing being possible.

Naruto looked at the princess and gestured his head to them. "See, they wouldn't have believed it unless you were the one to tell them."

She nodded. "Well, hopefully, they will get 'used to it' in time to enjoy the races." She then smiled at the Yoshis around his feet. "Looks like they are starting to move around on their own."

Naruto nodded as he looked at the bouncing babies. "They actually just started doing this minutes ago. Every other time I carried them." He then perked up as he remembered what the princess said earlier. "You said you were doing the last bit of prep, right? What are you gonna be doing?"

The princess smiled as she held out her in the direction she was going. "Well, if you follow me, you will be able to see. It is something we all must do if anyone wants to take part in the races."

Naruto smiled in excitement before he turned to his friends. "Come on, I can give you a tour after we finish what the princess was going to do."

The girls nodded as they were curious about both what the princess was going to do and the rest of the kingdom.

As Naruto took a step, the bowl was thrown into the air, where he caught it so it wouldn't fall to the ground. Once it was in his arms, he blinked in shock as the Yoshis jumped back into the bowl and waited for him to get moving. He gave them a dry look before he began walking. "Lazy little lizards." He heard them snicker and just chose to keep walking.

The group walked down a large set of stairs that led them to the lower levels that had living quarters for a good amount of toads. After that, they walked through the small part between the castle and the town, with the newcomers interested in the floral surroundings.

As the group made it to the town, they followed the princess and Toadsworth through the streets with the girls looking around in awe as they each thought the place was amazing.

Toads were running around setting up their shops, putting up signs, and making sure their merchandise was set up on the shelves.

Many of the items and foods seen were something the girls had never seen before and they felt more excitement about the upcoming race and what came with it. They even saw, in the distance, a massive screen, one that almost seemed to be as big as the Hokage monument, being set up and tested with a few of the toad people waving at the camera and playing rock paper scissors.

Sakura whispered to Ino as they walked past a few groups of toads. "Is it me or do you want to just hug some of them?"

Ino nodded as she watched another group walk by. "I know, look at them, they're adorable!"

Hinata smiled as she nodded in agreement. Her eyes caught sight of what looked like would be a sweets stand and she wondered what the sweets in this world would be like. She promised herself that she would check it out when they open.

Tenten felt like she was foolish bringing weapons scrolls with her since nothing here seemed to be a threat. She even made sure she wasn't in a genjutsu when they arrived since this place seemed too incredible to be real. The biggest thing that she really wanted to see was the races. From the clips she saw in the video that Naruto had was that it looked exciting to watch.

Naruto was also looking around in awe since he still hasn't explored the whole world.

"You should hold onto the Yoshis tightly as we use these."

Naruto snapped back to the princess as she spoke. He saw her standing next to another pipe, though this one was transparent with a rainbow shine to it. "Are we using that?"

Princess Peach and Toadsworth nodded with the former explaining. "This will take us straight to where we need to go."

The Konoha citizens looked at each other with the girls looking at the male expectantly. Naruto shrugged as he never used something like this before but since they used a green pipe to get to this world, he guessed it would be the same.

The Princess and Toadsworth saw the confusion in them and the old toad chuckled. "Do not worry, this is how many of us get to areas that would take us too long to get to by foot." He looked up at the princess. "Will you do the honors?"

Princess Peach nodded as she walked in front of the pipe. She grabbed her skirt and ran toward the entrance before jumping headfirst.

Naruto was surprised to see the princess be sucked into the pipe but his eyes followed her figure as it shot through the pipe and made sharp turns around the wall the pipe bent around.

Toadsworth nodded as the princess left. "See, perfectly safe."

Naruto couldn't help but smile as it looked fun. Looking down at the Yoshis, he nodded before looking at the girls. "Well, come on!" Without a second thought, he ran toward the pipe and jumped in.

Tenten was shocked at his quick action and ran after him. "Naruto!"

Sakura, Ino, and Hinata followed suit and then all of them were in the pipe, following Naruto.

Toadsworth chuckled at them all jumping in before he walked into the pipe and was launched after them.

"Wooooooohoooooo~" Naruto was having a blast as he was launched through the clear pipe. He would feel dizzy when his body was twisted into making the sharp turns but it was outweighed by the exhilaration he felt.

Even the Baby Yoshis were cheering at the ride.

Behind him, the girls were screaming as well, with Hinata and Sakura being the only ones that were screaming in panic.

Tenten was smirking as she went through the pipe and Ino was laughing.

As the pipe turned to be over the town, their eyes widened as they saw it split into multiple paths

Naruto laughed as he was flung upward

Tenten twisted her body as she to the pipe on the right.

Ino whooped as she to the one that went straight down.

Sakura yelled as she was sent to the one that went left.

Hinata yelped as she went in the pipe that went at a left downward angle

Naruto looked down at the sight he got from the pipe. He could see so much of the world and some of the areas in the distance. "This place is incredible." He looked down at the Yoshis as he asked. "What do you think about exploring it sometime?" The yoshis nodded in agreement as they were also interested in exploring, though for them, they didn't mind exploring this world or Naruto's.

Tenten's pipe was going through the forest that was on the outskirts of the town. Despite the speed, she could see a lot of what this world had to offer. She smiled at how this place was much different from Konoha. "I can see why Naruto didn't want to share this with anyone. Wouldn't want any of our problems making it here." She was suddenly shot upward and then back toward the Town.

Ino was laughing as she was spun in a loop-de-loop that brought her over a lake. She watched as dolphin-like animals jumped around her as she flew by. "I have got to come here more often." she then made a sharp turn and back toward the busy part of the town.

Sakura's pipe took her through the town streets as she watched toads walking about as if nothing was wrong. "HOW LONG IS THIS THING!?" A few toads stopped what they were doing as they heard her shout as she flew by.

One toad smirked as he picked up a crate he need to move. "Hmm, newbie."

Sakura was then launched upward into a corkscrew portion of the pipe before heading toward a certain part of the town

Hinata yelped as she was sent straight down. She closed her eyes as she thought that she would crash into the ground. Yet the pipe took her underground before launching her in a straight path. With her eyes shut, she knew she was in a dark area that faded into blue. Opening her eyes, she saw that she was underwater and she looked around at the sight of so many different types of fish and squid. "Beautiful." she looked up to see something purple and blonde over the surface of the water. She assumed it might have been ino since she hadn't seen anything else that had that color in this world. She found herself moving upward till she was out of the water and flying off toward a large building.


Naruto jumped out of the pipe that shot him straight up before flipping and landing on the ground.

"Took you long enough."

He looked up to see a smiling Princess Peach as she was waiting for them to arrive. He smiled back as he got up and walked to her. "Hey, I had no control over where the pipe would go. And to be honest, I wish it lasted longer."

Princess Peach nodded. "Yeah, it is fun."

Toadsworth walked out from behind the princess and gently tapped his cane. "I understand your enjoyment, but we must get things moving."

Naruto looked at the elderly toad and he, along with the Yoshis, gained a question mark over their heads. "...How did you get here before me?"

Toadsworth smiled at the boy. "Years of practice."

That just made the question marks grow in size.

The sound of someone coming out of the pipe grabbed their attention as they looked back to the pipe.

Tenten landed before brushing herself. "I gotta admit, that was really fun and I wish I could travel like that sometimes."

Laughing was heard as Ino came out. When she landed, she had to fix her hair but the large smile on her face told them that she didn't mind. "I wish I could go through that more often. They should make something like that back in Konoha."

Hinata was the next. She stumbled when she landed. She took a breath as her nerves were trying to calm down. "This world is beautiful. I wish I brought a camera."

Everyone looked up as Sakura was launched into the air. Seeing that she wasn't going to land on her feet, Ino moved and caught her in her arms.

Sakura held onto Ino as her hair was frazzled. "I-i-ii-s it over?"

Ino nodded as she put Sakura down. "Yes, Sakura, it is. Don't worry, after a few more tries, you'll get used to it."

Sakura glared at Ino. "how are you used to it when this is the first time you ever went on something like that?"

Ino shrugged. "I just thought it was fun."

Sakura grumbled at Ino as she tried to straighten her hair.

Once she saw that they were all there, Princess Peach called all of them to follow her. She led them a short distance to a massive structure that had a large metal wall. "Here is where the final steps will take place. And, Naruto, you should take your time in your selection." She went over to a normal size door and opened it before walking in.

Naruto was confused about what she meant but followed her anyway with the others behind him. When he got inside, he was bombarded by the cacophony of different bits of music and the sound of mechanics. But it was the sight that made him pause.

The building was a massive hangar that had loads of machinery moving pieces and parts from one side to the other. It looked like vehicles were on platforms that were being worked on by buff-looking monkeys that were making adjustments based on the rider's preferences.

There were even a few of the monkeys looking over some plans of the vehicle and explaining them to the riders, pointing out how they can improve something, though they looked like suggestions since the rider would point out how they wanted it.

Princess Peach looked at Naruto and gestured to the monkeys. "These are denizens of the Kong Kingdom, which can be found on Kong Island. When Kart racing first started, we were the ones that started the construction of the vehicles used, yet the Kongs took to it so well that they are now the experts in making karts. And with their numbers and strength, they can help build whatever the riders want quickly."

"Woah~!" Naruto looked at all the different vehicles and couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.

"Naruto, over here!"

He was snapped out of his awe and saw the princess standing by a large lit-up piece of machinery. He ran over to her and saw that there seemed to be images of things on three wheels.

"This is where you make your selection of the type of kart you want. Spin the wheel to what you want and the Kong just above-" she spun a wheel to demonstrate. "-and the kong will bring it up for you to choose." She gestured to a kong that was sitting on a chair and brought up the piece of the kart selected.

Naruto was even more excited about this as he nodded to the princess and moved to the next wheel so he could start his selection. The Yoshis jumped out of the bowl and bounced it out of his hands so he could do his work. He nodded gratefully as he looked at the wheel. He moved one of the wheels as the ping of the selection was heard each time he moved to something.

*ping ping*

He looked to his right to see a smirking Tenten.

"You think you're the only one that's gonna take part in this? No way, I'm participating in the races."

Naruto looked toward Peach to see her smiling at him.

Tenten had asked the princess if she could be part of it when Naruto was looking around the garage. The princess said that it would be easy for her to take part, all they had to do was inform the toads setting up the roster.

Naruto looked back to Tenten and gave a cocky smirk. "I have someone else I have to beat but if you are racing, then be ready to lose to me." He looked back to the kong that was above him, who gave him a wide smile and thumbs up. "Now, let's see what I get to use."


End of chapter

I watched the Super Mario movie, only four days ago and I loved it. Really good movie, don't know what the critics were talking about when they gave it mid-reviews.

Anyway, I had a good portion of this chapter already done when I saw it but when I came back to it, I could not help but hear Anya Taylor-Joy's voice. That changed the whole perception of Peach from being a damsel in distress. Despite how I was making her less of that, the movie pushed it further. So I redid some of it.

I am also adding some things from the movie, like the Kong garage. However, this is in the mushroom kingdom and changed the idea of where the kart thing came from. And with that, yes, Donkey Kong will be part of this

So now the crown is revealed to his friends but they don't have any real thoughts about it. They will find out about it soon and honestly, I want to get that out of the way so I can build more on this world. If I had to give a guess when the change will happen, I would say maybe another at minimum ten chapters. There are a lot of things I want to do before I get to that.

The races will start in about two to three chapters. Time for you readers to give suggestions on the first track and reasons. If not much is given, I will just use Mario's circuit or Toad Harber first. I'm thinking four or maybe five races overall. There is more to the story I want to do.

One of the reviewers gave me a really good idea I want to do so I look forward to that. Your reviews do give me ideas and I love reading them so please review.

Changed to cover art. It will be temporary till I make one specifically for this fic

Flames will be ignored.
