Opening by Neostardustdragin101

The wind blows wildly through a meadow going through a small town before revealing two figures standing atop of a telephone poll back to back. These were Naruto and Ranma both flashed grins as they stuck out a peace sign.

taikutsu na madobe ni fukikomu kaze ni

kao wo shikameta no wa terekusasa no uragaeshi

Naruto and Ranma rush out the Tendo dojo putting on their back packs with a piece of toast in their mouths.

aimai ni unazuku tenohira no kyou

egaite'ru jibun wa sukoshi oogesa de

nanika kawarisou na ki ga shite iru yo

kokoro ni yobikakeru kimi no sei da ne

Genma in panda form comes out yelling at the two only to be swatted away by a fox tail.

kumorizora nozoita yokan

te wo nobasou itsu yori mo chikarazuyoi yuuki de

As the walk down the sidewalk Akane and Nabiki catch up to them Ranma and Akane sneering at each other while Nabaki wraps her arm around Naruto who rolls his eyes, Shampoo hiding behind a tree narrows her eyes at this

hikari mo kage mo mada tookute sore de mo bokura wa

yasashisa no riyuu ga shiritai

ima wa dare no namae de mo nai kagayaki no kanata e

zenbu kako ni naru mae ni mitsuke ni ikou

Kuno swooned over Akane as she walked by while Ryoga simply shook his head while trying not to swoon himself.

kono sekai wa marude tayorinai ne to

usobuku boku no me wo karakau you ni

kimi ga mite'ru sora wa naniiro darou?

kitto aoku takaku kiyoraka na hazu

Naruto and Ranma train together when suddenly the boys falls into the water jumping out in his female form narrowing her eyes at Naruto who was in his kitsune form.

kotoba no mama ja modokashikute dakara nando de mo

bukiyou ni kasanete shimau ne

yorokobi mo kanashimi mo koko de imi ga umareru koto

futari kizukihajimete'ru sono riyuu mo

Happosai sneaks through the shadows smirking as he sees a dresser opening it to find Kushina's panties. Suddenly he feels a wave of killing intent and sees Kushina standing behind him.

kotoba no mama ja modokashikute

nando de mo bukiyou ni kasanete shimau yo

koe ni naranai setsunasa goto

kono omoi, kimi ni todoke

Naruto, Ranma, Ryoga, Shampoo, Kuno, and Ukyo stand together in front of the dojo running out at the shadowed figures jumping at them one of them being a green haired girl with lightning around her

hikari mo kage mo mada tookute sore de mo bokura wa

yasashisa no riyuu ga shiritai

Naruto and Ranma along with Ryoga began beating down any and all enemies that came their way while Shampoo jumped into the unleashing a flurry of kicks with Ukiyo swinging her spatula blowing away her foes.

ima wa dare no namae de mo nai kagayaki no kanata e

zenbu kako ni naru mae ni mitsuke ni ikou

Naruto lands back on the ground with Ranma both smiling as they fist bump suddenly Nabiki jumps on Naruto's back kissing his cheek while Akane wraps her arm around Ranma both blushing.

kimi ga kako ni naru mae ni mitsukeru kara

The gang looks towards the horizon giving a thumbs up

(With Naruto)

It had been a few days since Ranma's mother had shown up and he was still getting used to having his mother around after so many years. But he found it nice to have a somewhat competent parent after just having Genma as a parental figure for so long.

Currently, Naruto and Ranma were sparring in the Tendo Dojo, while they waited for Lum to show up, as they figured that eventually she would find out Naruto was back.

"So what's your plan for getting Lum to share information on this Sasuke guy?" Ranma asked curiously, as he ducked under a strike from Naruto using Kami-e.

"No idea. I'm hoping that she just tells me what she knows about his power up without any trouble. She can't stand him, so the odds are in my favor" Naruto said, as he threw a Rankyaku at Ranma, who quickly jumped over it.

And caused the blade to put a big cut in the wall behind him

"Hey! Repairs aren't cheap, whiskers!" Nabiki's voice yelled from the other side of the wall, before said Tendo sister opened the door to the dojo and looked inside, as she gave Naruto a look of annoyance.

"Yes dear" Naruto said with an exaggerated feeble voice, before he was kicked in the chin by Ranma, thanks to him being distracted.

"Ha! I got a hit on ya!" Ranma yelled happily with a fist pump.

"Nice job, gold digger. I think he chipped a tooth" Naruto said, as he gave Nabiki an annoyed look.

"Walk it off whiskers. Oh and watch your back" Nabiki said, as she saw the back door open.

"Ha, like I'm gonna fall for - gah!" Naruto was saying, before he was hugged from behind by Lum.

"There you are darling! I missed you while you were gone! Why didn't you take me with you?" Lum asked as she hugged Naruto.

"It wasn't a vacation, Lum" Naruto groaned out, as he struggled to get loose from the Oni girl's grip.

"Yea, it was a training trip" Ranma said as he nodded.

"You guys came back early, because Shampoo got attacked. How good could it have gone" Nabiki said as she rolled her eyes.

"…. you took Shampoo?" Lum asked as she looked at Naruto with a look of sadness, before she started to growl and her hair started to spark.

"Oh jeez" Naruto said, as he tried even harder to get loose from Lum, as knew what was coming.

BZZZTTT!!!!

But it was too late, as Lum let loose a blast of electricity, shocking Naruto.

"Gaaaah!!!!" Naruto yelled loudly, before he fell to the ground, twitching.

"Well if anything, you can consider this training for your fight with Sasuke" Ranma said, as he looked down at Naruto.

"Sasuke?" Lum asked curiously, as she looked at Ranma.

"Who is Sasuke?" Nabiki asked curiously, as she hadn't been told about him. Just that Naruto had a duel coming up, against someone that attacked them while they were training.

"It's none of your business, you -" Lum was saying, before she was cut off.

"He's Lum's Ex, who's come looking for a fight to get her back," Naruto said with a groan, as he stood up.

"And you're actually gonna fight for her? Should I be worried, whiskers?" Nabiki asked curiously, as she raised an eyebrow.

"Why? You want to keep me all to yourself?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow of his own.

"……the bill for the wall is 100,000 yen," Nabiki said with a hard tone, before she left the dojo.

"Gah!" Naruto yelled, as he fell over in shock.

"I think Nabiki won that one, cuz" Ranma said with a chuckle.

"Why are you fighting Sasuke? That's usually so boring, seeing as you always win" Lum said with a bored tone.

"Yeah, but he's since learned some new tricks after our last fight," Naruto said, as he stood up.

"Yes. He had these freaky red eyes and was able to use lightning to instantly beat Shampoo" Ranma said, as he looked at Lum.

"…he copied my lightning?!?!" Lum yelled, as her hair started to spark from her anger.

"Wait wait, copy?" Naruto asked, as he looked at the Oni girl with a cocked eyebrow.

"Yea, he must have unlocked his clans sharingan eye, which allows him to copy any technique just by looking at it" Lum said with a scowl.

"…..so he's a technique thief" Ranma said with a frown at this.

Lum nodded at this, as she looked at Naruto. "Was he able to copy any of your techniques?" she asked him.

"No, but….." Naruto said, before he paused and smiled evilly, as an idea hit him.

"You're smiling like your mom," Ranma said, as he slightly shuddered at seeing Naruto's smile.

"Don't joke about that!" Naruto yelled, as he looked at his cousin, who jumped back a bit at this

"So what's your plan, darling?" Lum asked, as she looked at Naruto with a curious look, as they all left the dojo

"Don't worry about it, this is gonna be easy" Naruto said with a smirk, as he started to lightly laugh under his breath.

"Good, then I can adjust the bets in your favor and make a killing," Nabiki said, as they all entered the living room, where she was sitting at the living room table, watching TV.

"Is money all that you think about?" Naruto asked, as he gave her a deadpan look.

"I think about other things, whiskers. You just haven't asked" Nabiki said with a pointed look at him, before she went back to her show.

Naruto blinked at this, before he slightly frowned, as this was a good point.

"Ha, my darling knows things about me," Lum said with a laugh, as she hugged Naruto's arm and gave Nabiki a smug triumphant look.

"Yea, like how to distract you, so that he can flee like a bat out of hell" Nabiki said with a bored tone, as she changed the channel with a remote.

Lum growled at this, before she glared at Nabiki, as her hair started to spark.

"Abort, abort" Ranma whispered to Naruto, seeing what was coming.

Naruto nodded at this, before he quickly used Soru and ran out the backdoor into the yard with Ranma, as Lum yelled in fury at being called out.

(A few days later)

It was after school and Naruto was walking out of the school gates to wait for Sasuke to show up in front of the school, as this was the set day for their match.

Naruto paused as he saw what looked like a setup arena and stands for people to watch. There were also a bunch of food stands set up, which students were already in line for, in preparation for the fight.

"I'm gonna guess that Nabiki got the word out?" Naruto asked Akane, as she and Ranma approached him.

"Yup and she's already taking bets. Is it true what she is telling everyone, about this guy's ability to copy peoples techniques?" Akane asked, as she pointed at a betting booth, where the middle Tendo sister was taking bets from her fellow sister.

"Yes, but don't let that fool you, like the rest of those suckers" Naruto said, as he saw the odds Nabiki was giving for the fight and Sasuke was the one with the better odds, which was obviously a ruse to scam people out of their money.

"Hey brat!" Kushina yelled out, getting their attention.

"Hey mom" Naruto said as he, Ranma and Akane turned to look at the stands, where all of their families were sitting, along with Lum Shampoo and Cologne.

"Niho Naruto, you ready for fight?" Shampoo asked, greeting Naruto.

"Yea, you better beat that brat," Kushina said with a scowl.

"I'm sure your son will do great, Kushina," Nodoka said, as she patted her sister on the shoulder.

"Make him pay for hurting Shampoo" Shampoo said as she frowned.

"Relax, I have this handled" Naruto said as he smiled at them.

"I'll enjoy crushing that confidence, loser," Sasuke said, as he appeared in the arena.

"You don't stand a chance against my darling, Sasuke!" Lum yelled from her seat next to Kushina.

"Humph, we will see" Sasuke said as he looked at Lum with a confident look, as Naruto got into the arena, while Minato in a referee uniform approached them.

"Ok you two, this is a fair fight and it will end when one of you can't fight anymore or surrender, so no killing" Minato said, as he looked at them both.

"Fair enough" Naruto said, as he nodded at this.

"Fine" Sasuke said, as he glared at Naruto, activating his sharingan, causing Naruto to mentally smirk, while his face remained stoic.

"Begin!" Minato yelled, as he held up his arm to signal the start of the match.

Naruto quickly jumped back, as Sasuke made some lightning cover his body, before he fired it at him, which hit the ground where he had been standing before.

"Lum's lightning is faster than that, duck butt!" Naruto yelled, as he swung his leg at Sasuke, sending a Rankyaku at Sasuke.

Sasuke quickly avoided the attack, causing the attack to leave a deep cut mark in the ground. "Heh, thanks for the new technique, peasant" he said with a smirk of victory, before he swung his leg and sent his own Rankyaku at Naruto.

Naruto held up his arms in a blocking motion, as the air blade hit him.

"Naruto!" Nabiki, Shampoo and Lum yelled out, surprised at this and also worried.

But Naruto just smirked at this, as he then forced his way through the air blade, like it was made of wet pepper.

"Huh?" Akane asked, surprised at seeing this.

"Yea, I don't get it either" Ranma said, as he tilted his head to the side in confusion.

"…..wait for it. Duck butt should be getting it, right about now" Kushina said with a grin, as she realized what was gonna happen.

CRACK!

"GAH!!! MY LEG!!!!!" Sasuke yelled in pain, as he fell to the ground while holding his leg.

"Here's an interesting tidbit about my family's techniques Sasuke; if your body isn't trained to use them, then, well, your leg for example just shattered and made a pathetic air blade, that didn't even hurt me" Naruto said with a smirk, as he approached the downed Sasuke.

"Give him a technique and let him destroy himself. Very clever, future great grandson in law" Cologne said, as she smiled and nodded in approval at this.

"Well, seeing as you can't fight anymore, I'm gonna declare Naruto the winner," Minato said, as he pointed at Naruto.

"Heh, easiest money I ever made," Nabiki said with a grin, as she started to count her winnings.

"Hey, I better get a cut of that," Naruto said, as he got out of the arena and approached Nabiki.

"Your cut goes to repairing the dojo," Nabiki said simply, as she continued to count her money.

Naruto groaned at this, as he should have seen this coming.

"……oh fine. I'll buy you dinner, but no ramen" Nabiki said, as she sighed in defeat.

"Oh? Are you asking me out, Miss Tendo?" Naruto asked with a teasing grin.

"…… watch your back, whiskers," Nabiki said after a few moments of silence, before going back to her counting.

"Huh? Ah! Hey!" Naruto was asking, before he was tackled into a hug from both sides by Shampoo and Lum.

"You won! You take Shampoo on date to celebrate?" Shampoo asked with a smile.

"Oh. like hell he is, you bimbo! He beat my ex boyfriend's best technique, so he's taking me out!" Lum yelled, as she hugged Naruto's arm.

"He beat ex, but he avenge Shampoo" Shampoo said with a glare at Lum.

"What even is my life anymore?!" Naruto yelled, as both Lum and Shampoo pulled on his arms.

"You didn't even last 5 minutes! Gahahahahahaha!" Kushina yelled out, before she started to laugh hard at Sasuke.

"Shut up, you hag!" Sasuke yelled out in a rage, as he held his broken leg.

"…..HAG?!?!?!" Kushina screeched out, as her hair started to go crazy behind her.

"Oh dear" Nodoka said, as she frowned upon seeing this.

":Call the police!:" Genma's sign said, seeing as he was in his panda form.

With a war cry, Kushina jumped into the arena and started to beat up the downed teen, her hair flying wildly.

"Oh, wow. I didn't know that Miss Kushina could get this vicious" Akane said, as her eyes widened, as they all watched this beat down happen.

"Yes, I don't think she was this brutal with you Soutome" Soun said as he lightly winced a bit, as he watched this happen.

":I know better than to not use that word with her. I'm not that stupid:" Genma's sign said, as he shook his head.

"There is evidence to disprove that, pops," Ranma said with a shake of his head.

Sasuke yelled out in pain, as Kushina finished her beatdown and sent him flying into the air by throwing him with her hair.

"Talk big now, ya punkass!" Kushina yelled out after the teen.

"Nice beat down, auntie" Ranma said, as he gave a thumbs up.

"Yea, I didn't think you could get that mean, unless it involved the last pork bun being taken," Naruto said with a chuckle before he groaned, as Cologne smacked him on the back of the head with her cane.

"Respect your elders, son in law," Cologne said with a firm tone.

"Anyway, who wants to have something to eat?" Minato asked everyone.

"Sounds good to me. I'm starving" Naruto said with a smile.

":I could eat:" Genma's sign said that he held up, while rubbing his stomach.

"Alright then. Food at my restaurant at a discount" Kushina said with a smile at everyone.

Everyone cheered at this, as they followed Kushina.

"But not you, fat boy!" Kushina yelled after the panda, who groaned at the missed discount.

(A few days later )

It had been a few days since the incident with Sasuke and things had gone back to relative normalcy.

Currently Kasumi, Akane and Nabiki were in town together, doing some shopping together.

As the two younger Tendo sisters waited for Kasumi to finish with her grocery shopping, they both noticed what looked like a commotion down the road.

"What's going on over there?" Akane asked with a raised eyebrow.

"It looks like some kind of parade or something" Nabiki said, as more people started to go take a look.

"You wanna check it out, while we wait for Kasumi?" Akane asked curiously.

"Sure" Nabiki said, as she nodded at her sister.

The two sisters walked down the street a bit and soon they saw what looked like a parade of what looked like people in Chinese garb walking down the street juggling and performing, while some of them passed out what looked like fliers to people.

"Hmmmm. It looks like the circus is in town" Nabiki said, as she took a flier and looked at it.

"Do you think Shampoo knows any of them?" Akane asked, as she took note of their Chinese garb and accents, as they greeted people.

"Probably not. Remember, her village is out in the sticks" Nabiki said, as she shook her head at this

"Akane, Nabiki! There you are!" Kasumi yelled, as she ran over to them with her bags of groceries.

As they turned to look at their sister, they didn't notice what looked like a man with long black hair and a white mask approaching them.

The masked man quickly ran at them and quickly snatched Nabiki's shopping bag from her hand.

"Hey!" Nabiki yelled out, as her bag was taken.

They soon heard the masked man laughing, as he jumped and landed on a power pole and looked down on them, as he dropped the now empty bag, pulling out and holding what looked like a stuffed fox with orange fur. "If you want your sister back, then tell Naruto Uzumaki he better show up at the circus" the masked man said, before he took off jumping across the rooftops.

"Hey! Give that back, you thief!" Nabiki yelled after him with a look of rage on her face.

"……you bought a stuffed fox?" Kasumi asked curiously.

"Yea, what of it?" Nabiki asked, as she looked at her big sister.

"It looks like Naruto's cursed form," Akane said with a teasing grin, while Kasumi started to giggle behind her hand.

"Grrrrrrrr" Nabiki growled, as she grit her teeth in frustration, but ignored this.

"So, does this mean that you actually have a soft spot for him? And that you'll snuggle with the stuffed fox and pretend that it's him?" Akane asked with a smirk, as Kasumi continued to giggle.

"To quote Miss Kushina: I'll make it look like a bloody accident, sis" Nabiki growled out, as they started to walk back home.

"Oh my, do you think Naruto will find you saying that scary or hot?" Kasumi asked, as she tilted her head to the side curiously.

Akane burst out laughing madly at this, while Nabiki groaned at her sister's unintentional burn.

(Later at the Rising Tide)

Later, Nabiki and Akane were at the Rising Tide, after they'd escorted Kasumi home.

"Hey you two, what brings you here? Are you looking to pick up dinner?" Kushina asked, greeting the two teens as they entered the restaurant.

"I need Naruto to -" Nabiki was saying, before she was cut off.

"Oh, I knew this day would come! You want my boy in the worst way, don't you?!" Kushina asked with a grin, as she pointed an accusing finger at the middle Tendo.

Akane snorted at this, but quickly went silent, as Nabiki glared at her.

"Kushina, leave Nabiki alone," Nodoka said, as she poked her head out of the kitchen.

"But sis, teasing her is so much fun" Kushina whined with a pout.

"Yea, but she has your glare. Do you really want to see how far she will go, when she snaps?" Nodaka asked, raising an eyebrow at this.

"…..good point" Kushina said, as she saw Nabiki's glare and had a feeling she was reaching her limit.

"Now, what would you girls want my little nephew for?" Nodoka asked, as she came out of the kitchen.

"I got robbed by some jerk from the Chinese circus and I want him to beat the tar out of him and get my property back" Nabiki growled, as she sat down at the bar in front of Kushina.

"Deep breaths. Save it for whoever has it coming" Kushina said, as she handed Nabiki some chips.

"What moron would rob you? They must either be stupid, or not know that you will put him in debt forever" Naruto said, as he entered the restaurant along with Ranma.

"Where have you two been?" Akane asked, as she looked at the two Uzumaki's.

"Training. I finally got the hang of Tekkai. Well, mostly. Auntie, ice pack!" Ranma yelled, as he turned to look at his aunt, showing the big lump on the back of his head.

Kushina rolled her eyes at this, as she threw an ice pack at Akane, who gently put it to the back of Ranma's head.

"So, any idea where this thief is?" Naruto asked Nabiki, as he sat next to her.

"Nope, and all he said is that he's waiting for you at the Chinese circus," Nabiki said, as she crushed a chip in her hand.

"Wait, this guy said he is waiting for me?" Naruto asked, as he raised an eyebrow at this.

"Huh. Well, that explains why you got this challenge letter" Kushina said, as she held up an envelope.

"Lead with that next time, woman!" Naruto yelled, as he snatched the letter from her and opened it.

"Does it say who it is?" Ranma asked curiously, as he and Akane walked over.

"No, it's just a flier about an act at the circus. Something about a girl turning into a duck" Naruto said, as he held up a flier, which had a drawing of what looked like Nabiki and a duck.

"Well, the kidnapper thinks he kidnapped Nabiki, when he took her shopping bag" Akane said, as she shook her head.

"The guy must be blind" Ranma said, as he scoffed at this.

"Yea - wait a minute…..chinese circus and was so blind he kidnapped Nabiki's shopping bag, thinking it was her. Hmmmmmmm" Naruto said, as he started to think.

"What are you thinking, whiskers?" Nabiki asked, as she looked at Naruto.

"Think about it. Who do we know that has a vendetta against me, is from China and is blind as a bat?" Naruto asked, as he held up a finger for each clue.

Nabiki thought about this for a few moments, before her eyes widened. "Oh, for crying out loud" Nabiki said, as she pinched her nose in annoyance

"What? Who is it?" Nodoka asked curiously as she didn't know

"It's that moron with the hidden weapons style; Mousse" Nabiki said, as she cursed herself for not figuring this out sooner.

"I'm surprised that you didn't figure this out right away. Are you slipping?" Naruto asked, as he raised an eyebrow at Nabiki.

"Yea, you wish. He just made me mad, stealing from me" Nabiki said, as she went back to her chips.

Naruto raised an eyebrow at this, before he nodded. "Well, don't worry. I'll deal with Mousse and get whatever he stole from you back for you" he said, as he patted Nabiki on the shoulder.

Nabiki passed at this but said nothing, as she tried not to let this bother her.

"Looks like Mousse wants you to show up, no matter what brat" Kushina said, as she picked up the envelope the letter was in and pulled out several tickets.

"Well, if anything, at least we can have some fun with this, at least" Akane said, seeing that there were enough tickets in there for the Uzumaki and Tendo families to go to the circus.

"More like he wants an audience, to see whatever dumb plan he pulls, when Naruto shows up" Ranma said, as he rolled his eyes at this.

"Well, either way I'm going. I may as well deal with Mousse now, instead of ignoring him and making him just attack me randomly" Naruto said.

"Well, at least you know what's coming, so you can prepare for it and not let that idiot surprise you," Kushina said with a firm tone.

"Yea, and hopefully this is the worst that happens right now" Ranma said as he sighed, as he felt the lump on his head get smaller.

(Space)

Out in space near the earth, what looked like a space motorcycle stopped in front of the earth and looked at it.

Two figures were sitting on the bike and looking at the earth.

One was a teen girl with red hair, wearing red armor with a chain over her shoulder.

The second one sitting behind the redhead on the motorcycle, was another teen girl with silver hair that looked like ice, which was done up in a high ponytail. She was also wearing what looked like a kimono.

"So, this is where Lum has been hanging out" the girl with ice hair said, as she looked at the earth.

"Yea. I heard that her new guy ditched her and ran off, hiding, when she went to visit her family. What a wuss!" the redhead said with a scoff at this

"Oh, I'm sure he can't be that bad," the girl with ice hair said.

"Well, we're gonna find out. And if he's here, I'll break him in half, for messing with our best friend!" the redhead yelled with a grin, as she started her space motorcycle and started to fly towards the earth.

P.O.M and Kfbanime87 were both chillaxing in their office, when….oh, you already know who it is

Hey, I take offense to that: Deadpool said, as he walked into the office

What do you want, Wade? Kfbanime87 asked with a look of annoyance

The readers are wondering when you'll be doing your One Piece fanfic: Deadpool said, as he leaned against the wall and looked at P.O.M

That's next, you moron: P.O.M said as he rolled his eyes

And after that, it's off to whatever he picks, like normal: Deadpool said, pointing at Kfbanime87

Exactly. Now let me game! I need my fix! Kfbanime87 yelled, as he looked away from his TV

Oh jeez, what are you playing now? P.O.M asked

South Park - Snow Day. Now let me focus, dammit! Die Kenny, die! Kfbanime87 yelled, as he looked at the TV

Wait, they actually made that TV show into a game?! P.O.M asked in surprise

Where have you been? They have made several modern games, based on South Park: Kfbanime87 said with a roll of his eyes

Yup, this is the third one: Deadpool said, as he nodded at this

Anyway, see you all soon. Sorry that this chapter took so long to get out to you. I had to look ahead and make some plans: Kfbanime87 said, as he looked at the reader

Later folks! P.O.M said, as he waved at the reader
