"YOU WANT ME TO DO WHAT?!" Tsuande was standing in her office with the Mane 6, Naruto, Kakashi, and Hinata. Twilight just asked for something that seemed downright absurd.

"I will repeat myself," Twilight said with a grin. "I want Hinata to use her Byakugan to study mine and my friend's, including the Princesses', chakra paths. I also want you and Kakashi to train us as ninja of the Hidden Leaf. This new training, combined with our Elements and our own power, will help to defeat any foe. Besides, I sense that since that portal opened, ALL of us, including the ninja, have had their abilities increased. My friends have told me they picked up on it as well."

Tsuande stood there mouth agape as to what came out of Twilight's mouth, she couldn't believe the Mane 6 had picked up on it, something only high level jounin could accomplish. "Maybe they could be helpful afterall, especially after seeing Pinkie Pie's, what did she call it, "Sonic Sugarboom?" She thought to herself. "Ok Twilight, you win. As the Hokage of the Village Hidden in the Leaves, I hearby make you, your friends, and any other pony willing to help, honorary Shinobi."

"This just brought back memories..." Twilight thought to herself, causing a tear to form, which Tsuande saw and realized the irony to what she just said and she immediately felt guilty.

"I'm sorry if this just brought back bad memories Twi..I just realized the irony to what happened all those years ago with Celestia making Minato, Kakashi, Obito, White Tiger, and Rin honorary citizens of Equestia."

"It is ok Tsuande, and I believe I am speaking on everypony's behalf when I say we accept your offer."

"You bet!" Everypony said in unison.

"Good, now Hinata if you would please do as Twilight asked." Tsuande said since she was curious herself, although she would never admit it.

"Yes ma'm." Hinata bowed. "Will you all please remain still, this is not going to hurt, it is just my way of seeing your chakra potential. I'm going to do it twice, once without the Element necklaces on and the second time with them. It will also judge if you will be given the rank of genin, chunnin, or jounin. For Tsuande told me you will be given a special exemption to the exams unless you are a genin or chunnin without the Elements, in which case you can take the exams to move up. Now please remove the necklaces." They did as they were told, when they did this, she closed her eyes and activated her Byakugan. When she did this, she was shocked at the results. She deactivated it and had the process repeated with the Elements on. After deactivating it a second time, she reported her results.

"Lady Tsunade, their chakra potential without the Elements is identical to Naruto's. They all would be jounin in rank, except Fluttershy, she is an extremely high level chunnin that could beat the weakest jounin. She would have to take the exams to be promoted. The strongest, which is not surprising, is Twilight." This stunned everyone except Twilight, what she was surprised was how strong they really could be.

"What about with the Elements?" Fluttershy asked in a whisper.

Hinata's response caused Naruto, AJ, Rarity, and Lady Tsunade herself to faint. "Minato's and Naruto's Six Path Sage modes...combined. They are the highest of the jounin, and could probably beat you in a fair one on one fight Tsunade." Twilight used her medical jutsu to wake them up after recovering herself from a mix of sadness (at the mention of Minato) and shock.

"So Fluttershy, do you want to take the jounin exams?" Kakashi asked.

"For the good of the herd, I'll do it. How long I got?"

"Once you full develop as a shinobi you will take the exam. However, unlike most chunnin, you will be given jounin level assignments with your friends so you don't feel left out." Tsunade answered.

"Um, I hate to be the bearer of bad news darling, but how are we supposed to do jutsu without hands?" Rarity asked, which just so happened to be the one question in everyone's mind, luckily Twilight had a response.

"Concentrate your chakra into your hooves, then picture in your mind the hand signs for a jutsu. Me and you Rarity are unicorns, so we have an added bonus of magic, but that is how I learned medical jutsu, self-teaching and lots of experimentation. Since you don't know any jutsu signs since we were not paying attention during that fight, all of us, including myself so I can get a refresher course, are going to be part of the Academy on our next visit here. Now I am going to use my magic to put the signs in your mind, including *sigh* Naruto's variations of them that he showed me on the way back here to the village in private." At this, Naruto's, Hinata's, Kakashi's, and Tsunade's faces, and even the Nine Tailed Fox, blushed crimson from her saying that outloud.

Just like that her horn glowed orange and the other's learned the signs. "Now, let's go to mine and my brother's old training grounds and practice. Rainbow, Pinkie, and Flutters, since you have wings, practice in midair to develop a combo after you train on the ground."

After walking for a few minutes, they reached their destination, and a wave of nostalgia, grief, and happiness ran over Twilight. She stood there for a few minutes reminiscing before starting. By this time, Sai, Sakura, Ino, and a strange man, who Naruto called "Octopops" had joined them. They all watched as Twilight's friends gave each other room to practice and the first two to cause a shock were Rainbow and Pinkie. In their hooves were a Rainbow ball of chakra for Dash and a pink one for Pinkie. "THAT IS A RAINBOW RASANGAN!" Twilight, not Naruto or Tsuande, since Tsunade was attempting to revive Naruto, exclaimed. "Pinkie Pie is using it as well, but since both her coat and mane are pink, it makes sense for her chakra is as well. Now could you both use it on those trees?" They did as they were told and the trees split in half, and to everypony's surprise, Fluttershy split one of her own with a bright pink blast...using a move that made the Kyuubi inside Naruto faint...

"A ta...ta..tailed beast bomb!?" Everyone yelled in unison, "HOW?!" She turned around and all the color drained from the faces of the ninja. Fluttershy's eyes were a light soft purple with six black radials around the pupil.

"What's wrong wit' Fluttershy?" AJ asked looking at the ninja, who were frozen in fear.

"That's impossible!" "Octopops" exclaimed "she has th-" He was cut off in mid sentence by Twilight, who was in shock as well.

"The Rinnegan." She dryly answered as Fluttershy's eyes returned to normal.

"How do you know about it?" Tsuande questioned.

"Well, after it was discovered I could learn medical jutsu, Minato gave me this book," Twilight said as she brought out of her saddlebag an old worn out book. "It covers all types of jutsu, clans,...and even the Forbidden Techniques...I can pull off a perfect Resurrection Jutsu."

"YOU CAN WHAT!?" Tsuande was scared, if she turned evil, God help them all... "Then why do you need to go back to the academy?"

"Don't want to leave my friends and gives me a chance to learn new jutsu since this book is outdated apparently." That point was hard to argue against considering the date printed on the inside cover and how old Kakashi was now.

"Fair point." was the only response Tsunade could think of.

"Yep," Twi said with a smile. "and it is possible for her to have it. Remember during the fight she used her stare on BOTH the Kyuubi and Madara at the same time. Before he died, he must have transferred it to her. I have seen happen before...once, she used it on a vampire fruit bat and a mirror, which combined with a spell of mine to end the bat's apple thirst, transferred it to Flutters...she nearly became a vampire fruit bat herself until I managed to correct the error."

"I noticed that I felt a surge right before he died." Fluttershy said softly trying to comprehend the situation at hoof.

"Confirms my theory, as far as the Tailed Beast Bomb, she acquired the Rinnegan before the Kyuubi disappeared. So by the same rule, she acquired the Nine Tailed Fox's abilities as well. She is pretty much now a pony Nine Tailed Fox jinchuuriki, complete with its chakra, and the Rinnegan...a combination of Naruto and Madara."

"In light of this, Miss Fluttershy is now a jounin." Tsunade said with a visible wince as she thought of how much damage the sunshine yellow pegasus could cause if enraged.

"Thank you Lady Tsunade." Fluttershy answered with a small bow. "Now can we all get back to training?" Before anyone could respond, Might Guy, Rock Lee, and TenTen showed up and were briefed on everything. Soon, the training resumed with AJ pulling off an orange Eight Gates and Rarity a purple Leaf Hurricane. Soon Twilight joined in.

"I wonder if this would work?" She thought as she imagined several quick hand signs and started charging her chakra. Soon her hooves were coated in a magenta veil and she went into a full gallop. At full speed, she jumped in the air and hit the ground with one hoof, setting off a mini earthquake and creating a crater 100 feet in diameter.

"I'm impressed," Tsunade thought to herself, "that is a variation on my move."

"Heavenly Hoof of Pain" Twi said with a sly grin, "Me and Fluttershy are the ultimate shinobi, we can learn, copy, and counterattack any jutsu. I am not selfish though, please stay still." She then activated her magic, instantly fixing all the trees and the crater before floating into the air. Then a bright magenta ball of chakra surrounded her and everyone there as her eyes went white.

"Hidden Technique: CHAKRA CLAN LIMITBREAK JUTSU!" There was a flash before everything went back to normal.

"That seemed to be useless." "Octopops" observed.

"Shut up Killer B and let her explain!" Tsunade said as she smacked him.

"You are wrong sir," Twilight responded, "Naruto, try preforming a Chidori, without ANY hand signs and going into your Six Paths Sage mode at the same time, trust me, all you have to do is get the Nine Tails' chakra and concentrate."

He looked stunned, but did as he was told when he refused at first and Twilight got pissed and turned into a pure fire unicorn. That got everyone's attention, seeing her like that caused Naruto to gulp and give in. "Ok, here goes nothing..." He went into his Sage mode then tried the Chidori. Slowly but surely, lightning formed around his hand and he smashed a boulder with one blow.

"What did that jutsu you preformed do?" Lee asked.

"It is a forbidden hidden jutsu that I combined with my magic, I just gave each of you my ability. You can now learn any jutsu and I just set your chakra reserves at my level, all of you are now stronger. I am going to preform the jutsu on the pony-nin and the princesses as well... Nothing can touch us, and there is a side jutsu I used as well...Naruto, I believe you recognize this ninja and kuninachi, for I did a special Resurrection Jutsu just for you, and for me and Kakashi as well." When she finished, two people emerged from the bushes, and both Kakashi and Naruto started crying.

"Minato sensei..." Kakashi said amazed.

"Mom...Dad..." Was all Naruto could say before his words became choked between his sobs.
