Shinobi no Pokémon

Chapter 5

The shinobi regained his composure before relaying his message. "Tsunade-sama has fallen ill!"

"WHAT?!" The flaxen exclaimed. "DON'T TELL ME WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS TRUE!"

"Shut up dobe!" Sasuke scolded whilst rubbing his forehead. "Why in the world would someone joke about something as serious as this?!"

The blond continued his rant as if the latter had never spoke. "I MUST BE DREAMING! THAT'S RIGHT! I MUST BE IMAGINING EVERYTHING! BAA-CHAN CAN'T GET SICK! I MADE ALL THIS UP BECAUSE SOMETHING AS RIDICULOUS AS 'POKÉMON' DOESN'T EXI—!"

A round of harsh whacks resounded throughout the area. The Kyuubi holder stared in shock as he tenderly held his abused cheeks. "WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!"

Zoroark huffed. "To prove to you that this is real; the unexpected happens and we have to accept it no matter how strange it seems."

The cub sighed in disbelief. "I can't believe you thought Meema and I are imaginary."

The ninja crossed his arms indignantly after he had calmed down. "How couldn't I? Since when could anyone use jutsus without chak—"

The scout cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention to him. "Tsunade-sama specifically requested to see you all. We have to depart immediately!"

"Can we go too?" Zorua pleaded.

The man knelt down to make eye contact with the fennec. "What's this?"

"A summon." Kakashi replied immediately. "They're a special type of kitsune called 'Pokémon'. I called them out to aid us on a mission."

The scout shrugged. "Alright. Let's go!"

"Follow us." The jōnin instructed to the foxes as he faced them. "We're going to rush to Konohagakure!"

The group exited the obscure forest and arrived at the gates of a vast settlement dotted with buildings that matched the color scheme of a mountain characterized by four distinct faces carved into the rock.

"Welcome to our village!" Naruto beamed as he turned to the newcomers. "Nice, isn't it?"

"There's no time to brag!" Sakura scolded. "We need to see the Hokage immediately!"

The fennec quirked a brow. "So this Tsunade is your leader?"

"Yeah, she's this village's sannin, a group of three legendary ninja, hailed as the world's most powerful kunoichi, a female shinobi, and is the greatest medical-nin there is!" The pinkette praised. "Ah, if I could be like her..."

"That's already happening..." The blond muttered.

"WHAT!"

"No time for bickering!" The sensei commanded. "We have to see Tsunade-sama immediately!" He then directed his attention to the scout. "Lead us to her room."

The group was led to the front of a polished wooden door in a blinding hospital reeking of sterility. Labored screams could be heard from the other side of the barricade.
