Story start

"RASENGAN BARRAGE!!!" a boy cloaked in glowing orange chakra shouted as he and his legion of shadow clones assaulted the Uchiha with a barrage if massive glowing blue spiraling orbs resulting in a massive explosion of blue spheres. As the dust settles the Uchiha was still conscious but heavily damaged.

"ITS OVER, MADARA!!!" the Uzumaki declared however the Uchiha lets out a dry laugh.                                                            
"I-is that all you got you nine tailed brat?" the Uchiha arrogantly asked. The teen then creates another rasengan and as he dashes towards him he suddenly feels like have given out causing him to trip losing the blue orb. 

Madara who is still panting heavily laughs at him. "Looks like your at your limit," however the teen gets back up but his chakra shroud begins to dissipate loosing its coat like appearance.

"Bad news kid I'm almost out of chakra so you need to use what's left of it wisely," the tailed beast within him stated.

"Ok I'll try not to waste it," the Uzumaki replied as he got back up to his feet.

"Hehehe. Your joking right?" Madara was shocked and also quite enraged at his persistence. "Just take a look around you. your teammates lying there like a bunch of stray dogs, the allied shinobi forces fallen on my infinite tsukiyomi, your power failing what is there that you can possibliy do huh?"

Taking advantage of Madara's babbling he reignites his chakra shroud taking form of his tailed beast.

"This is it Naruto once you use this technique I'll be out! you only got one shot at this," the fox explained as Naruto creates a gigantic rasengan with shuriken shaped rings spiraling around it along with three tailed beast balls.                      

"I know now sync with me Kurama!" Shouted Naruto.

"PLANETRY RASEN-SHURIKEN!!!" both beast and jinchuriki yelled as Naruto throws the gigantic spiraling orb towards madara. The Uchiha screamed in pure agony as he becomes engulfed by the vortex that is both a combination of wind and the fire generated from the explosion. The explosion lasted for several seconds and once it dissipated it left nothing but a large crater and a motionless Madara in the middle of it.

With most of his chakra drained the chakra avatar dissipates and Naruto falls to the ground panting heavily. After a full minute he has gained enough energy to get up and slide down the crater to approach the fallen Uchiha. He the kneels down and examines his broken,run down body. "It's finally over, ya know."

However he is unaware that Madara was reaching something in his pocket it was a blood red paper with the word "Dimension" and the word is surrounded by seal marks.

With the last of his strength Madara slammed the paper onto Naruto's chest the paper then transforms into a red aura quickly enveloping the Uzumaki. "H-hey! W-what the hell did you do to me?" Naruto asked in a state of panic but the Uchiha did not respond. 

"Hey!"    

Madara lets out a dry chuckle. "Hehehe...consider that your reward for defeating me.....or rather consider that your punishment for defeating me," he weakly said.

The red aura turns pure white brightening by the second and as every second pass Naruto begins to feel less physical.

"Mmmaaaddarra!!!" 

The light has fully engulfed him, becoming a makeshift star and in a split of a second the light dissipated and the Uzumaki is nowhere to be found.

Madara remained on the ground and with his life slipping away he lets out one last laugh for at least getting back at that brat for foiling his plans before dying from his injuries. His death has ultimately deactivated the infinite tsukiyomi, as the sun rises the blood red moon reverts back to its milky white Color. The risen sun has given birth to a new dawn, a new era.

"Mmmmm......w-where...am I?" Naruto weakly mumbled after a few minutes he gets up finding himself in a strange location. Everything was pale yellow. "A-am I in heaven?" Naruto asked to himself.

"No this is not the after life Naruto Uzumaki." He quickly turned to the source and was surprised the he would see him again. He was an elderly man with spiky pale red hair that was shoulder length along with a third rinnegan on his forehead. He was wearing a white kimono with magatama patterns below the high collar.                                                                                                 

                                        
"G-grandpa sage of six paths!"Naruto instantly remembered him. 

"Im glad that you didn't gave in to your forgetfulness," the sage said with a smirk. He then snapped his fingers instantly repairing his shredded tracksuit including the cloth of his headband reverting it back to its longer length.

"Whoa...t-thanks for fixing my outfit and all but...where are we?" Asked Naruto.

The sage remained silent for a few seconds before facing him to reply.

"...We are on a dimensional plane Naruto uzumaki you are en route to a different world...a new home. this jutsu Madara casted on you is irreversible,"this shock the blonde to his core. 

After a few seconds of being shocked and speechless he finally replied. "D-different world....new home? ....N-no this can't be happening grandpa sage ya need to bring me back!!" the teen yelled.

"Listen to me Naruto and let me explain"the sage calmly replied and Naruto reluctantly nodded.

"That seal that Madara used on you that was created by me," the sage flat out revealed leaving an confused look on Naruto's face .

"W-what do you mean and why make something like that?" Naruto asked with a slightly angry face.

"When the ten tails began its rampage around the world i originally intended to send it to a different world far,far from ours but I cancelled it after realizing that while it would liberate our world it would no doubt doom the other world for we don't know what kind of world it will get sent to we don't know it would be empty or have people, After I sealed the ten tails within me I hid that paper deep into the earth with countless seals....but to think that Madara would gain possession of it,"

After hearing its story it's time for Naruto to ask some questions. "You said that you hid that seal.but why didn't you just ripped it?" Asked Naruto.

"Because that paper was infused with a portion of my special chakra and well as a tiny piece of the ten tails that paper is indestructible and the only way to make it disappear is to use it on someone which would be cold and heartless," the sage explained.

It's was no time to ask the question that was hanging on Naruto's head, "Why did you say that the Jutsu is irreversible?" Naruto asked.

"Like I said I originally intended to permanently banish the ten tails from our world.this Jutsu is designed to banish anyone from their perspective world and once you get hit by that Jutsu your perspective world will no longer recognize you as it's resident forever.I am only able to talk to you here because I'm now a spirit,I'm no longer physical,"

"But...what about my friends, my family, becoming Hokage?" Naruto asked with sadness and worry.                          
"Rest assured Naruto I have created an exact duplicate of you he's celebrating with your friends he'll be the one to carry your original ambitions.....and I can already see the world you'll be living in. Like in your world you once lived in you'll also have a very special purpose there you'll have friends,family...and romance. I assure you Naruto Uzumaki it is also peacefully there you'll grew fond of it it's very....Colorful,"

Naruto began thinking about this as his life was about to begin anew. "I can sense what your thinking Naruto Uzumaki this isn't Genjutsu. all of these are real and even I the sage of six paths creator of Ninjutsu itself can do nothing about it, all because I made a selfish plan to doom some other world and for that i am truly sorry," the elder said with shame.

Naruto's gaze remained down on the next half hour thinking about his current predicament. At first it looks like Naruto was frowning but one he faced up he was actually smiling. 

"Okay if there really is no way back.....then I accept my new life, second chance or whatever in this other world I just hope my duplicate doesn't mess things up since he's carrying my dream,"

The sage's lips curled into a smile. "I'm glad to hear that you accept it however -" he snapped his fingers summoning a back pack containing more copies of his track suit but underneath the clothing are notebooks. "- your new life would involve you going back to education you'll be going to a place called "Canterlot high", "

"EEEEEEEEHHHHH???!!" Naruto exclaimed with his comedy face."but does my new world have ramen?" 
the sage nodded.
"Then I'm okay with it!" Naruto said as he excitedly put on his backpack. A portal then opens in front of the two indicating that the dimension travel is coming to an end. 

"Well see ya grandpa sage!" Naruto shouted as he waved him goodbye.

The sage waved back at him with a smile. "Farewell Naruto, I'll make sure to inform your parents about this,"

Naruto nodded in agreement. And with that he runs through though the portal about to enter the other world.

> Canterlot High
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto dashes on the portal and enters it's multicolored tunnel he then crosses his arms awating what comes next. "Gee I wonder what this new world would be like? would it be just like mine with the people I know acting differently?" he asked to himself as he remembered the alternate world adventure he and his teammate once had.

He then sees a light at the end of the tunnel. he then shields himself from the bright flash and closes his eyes.

A few seconds later he opens his eyes and finds himself standing on solid ground but it's not the ground that bothered him but it was the strange building he's standing in front of. It had maroon colored walls with a fountain in front of it along with horse themed windows. Though he realized it was a school it looked more like a mansion.



The school's bell then rang as a horde of students dashes toward the entrance. as the dust settles Naruto (bearing his comedy face) was left wondering  what just happened. 

"W-what the heck," he then looked at his backpack, remembering what the sage has spoken to him he realized that this was Canterlot high.

However before he could approach the entrance a girl with light pink skin along with a dark pink poofy hair dashed in front of him. She was wearing a white shirt that had a heart with a light blue short sleeved jacket, a lightpink skirt with ballons on the hem and light blue boots.

"Hi there my name's Pinkie Pie! what's your name? are you new here? huh huh huh are you?!" the hyper active girl asked him excitedly asked him.

Naruto grinned. "Yeah! I'm completely new here my names Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki!" He replied his excitement matching pinkies as he pridefully points his thumb at the logo of his forehead protector.

Pinkie Pie's excitement rose to soaring heights. The revelation of having a new friend, the excitement was too unbearable to contain as the girl shakes his hand in a rather fast pace nearly numbing his hand.

"C'mon lets go I'll show ya my friends, in fact everyone here is my friend so I know who's new and who's not...wait! since your new here you need to see principal Celestia!" she exclaimed as she grabbed his wrist and drags him trough the halls.

"Wwwhhhooaaa!!"

The two then reaches the door leading to the principal's office. "Principal Celestia, Principal Celestia we have a new student!!" the pink girl joyfully shouted. Naruto got up and saw the principal. she was wearing a vibrant yellow jacket matching his blonde hair, along with purple pants and yellow shoes she also had milky white skin and her hair consisted of multiple light colors.

"A new student? why that's wonderful Pinkie," she then looked at the blonde."Oh where are my manners i am principal Celestia. and you are?"

"Naruto Uzumaki, pleased to meet ya!" he said with a smile saluting her. the principal giggles at his enthusiasm.

"Well its a pleasure to meet you to Mr.Uzumaki take a seat so i can explain to you everything about this school and the schedules you'll be going to and prepare you for everything," Naruto then sat down with Pinkie following suit.

After about half an hour. Naruto and Pinkie exited the office with the class schedule and textbooks in his hands. as they walked the halls toward their classroom they spot a commotion. 

"Gimmie back mah bag!" yelled a girl with a western accent. she had long read hair with a pink bow, green shirt and long jeans accompanied by two other girls the one on the left has lavender and purple hair with curly ends and on the right was a girl with reddish-pink hair that flares out on the side.

The girl that has taken possession the redhead's bag had blue eyes purple hair with white streaks. "Come and get it loser," the girl taunted. the redhead tried to grab it but the bully raised out out of her reach causing her to trip. the bully accompanied by a girl with braided grey hair laugh at her.

"Cut it out diamond tiara and just let as pass through!!" the reddish-pink girl exclaimed however they ignored her and continued laughing much to the annoyance of all three young girls.

Naruto and Pinkie has heard enough and stepped in front of the two bullies. "Stop that your being mean!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"Yeah pick on someone your own size," Naruto seconded.

The two bullies glared at them and after a few second diamond tiara drops the bag. the girls then lets out a "Hmph!" simultaneously and walks away.

Naruto and Pinkie approached the young girls. "You guys okay?" Naruto asked. 

"Yeah thanks fer the save..oh! I'm Applebloom by the way," the young apple greeted.

"Naruto Uzumaki!" he said with a smile. 

"My names Sweetie Bell," the curly haired girl introduced. 

"And I'm Scootaloo," the tomboyish girl introduced.

"Naruto here is a new student so I'm showing him around," Pinkie explained much to the girls excitement. though they were interrupted by two voices.

"Applebloom!" 

"Sweetie bell!"

The girl on the left had long blonde hair with the end tied along with a light brown cowboy hat. She wears a white buttoned shirt with the upper part dark green. a Jean skirt a brown belt with an apple for the buckle and brown boots with two apple insignias.

The girl and the left had long violet hair with elegant curls at the ends along with a blue clip which have the shape of three diamonds. She wears a light blue blouse along with a purple skirt with three diamonds on the hem along with a black belt and violet boots.

"We heard ya yelling what happened?" the cowgirl asked in having western accent as well. 

"Ah'm okay sis it was just diamond tiara with her hooey. Naruto meet my sister Applejack, Applejack he's a new student and pinkie is just showing him around," she explained. 

"Hey you two!" Pinkie greeted. "She's telling the truth Naruto here is new and its up to me to get him to know everybody!" she declared. Naruto chuckled as her determination completely mirrors his.

"Nice to meet you Naruto my name is Rarity, Sweetie Bell's sister," the girl with the violet hair introduced but her blue eyes then sparkled the moment she looked at his outfit and hair. 

"And I must say darling as a lady of fashion I absolutely love the design of you outfit! and your hair even though its so wild its so... vibrant!" complimenting the blonde. 

"But where with those stripes on your cheeks came from darling?" Rarity asked.

Concealed by his headband Naruto's forehead was sweating like crazy.  "Great what am I gonna tell her? that i have a gigantic nine tailed beast inside me and the whiskers are a side effect? yeah like they would be not so scared of that," Naruto thought to himself.

However he doesn't like lying to his friends especially new ones. he then decided that he would first get to know everybody in school and that he would eventually tell the truth to the friends he can really trust and he can already that list starting to build.

"She's right! I was so excited about you that i completely forgot to ask where you got those whiskers Naruto can you tell us ppppplllleeeeaaassseee? Pinkie pleaded.


"I was born with it, guess its some kind of birth mark or something," Naruto stated. he really hated himself for lying to them as he was dying to show them his techniques. but he reassured himself that he would eventually tell the truth.

"Well ya got whiskers and ah got freckles," Applejack said chuckling."hey what's with the headband by the way?" she asked. 

Naruto had to come up with a decent answer. 

"Well you see I'm actually a ninja.mMy teacher gave it to me when I graduated the ninja academy,". everyone's jaw's dropped. 

"Wait THE ninja academy! the one far away from here in the farthest reaches of Canterlot city?!" pinkie loudly asked. 

Naruto nodded thanking god for the coincidence. "I never give up and I always train and work hard!" Naruto declared slamming his right fist onto his left palm.

"What about you Applejack what's with the hat?" Naruto asked smiling. 

"It's mah trademark as a cowgirl sugarcube," she replied at this point they both smiled at each other. however when Naruto asked her that question he noticed her eyes get filled with sorrow for a spit second.

An idea suddenly came into Rarity's head. " Naruto Applejack you two would make a perfect couple! think about it both of you wear headgears, have mark's on your cheeks and both of you are strong willed hard workers! oooohh so perfect!" rarity elegantly declared.

Naruto blushed. "HUH?"

Applejack's cheeks ignited deep red."R-Rarity stop it!!". earning a giggle from the Fashionista.

"Just kidding darling but we all need to go to our classes," she said as she looked at the clock. the three young girls then waved goodbye as the head of on the opposite direction.


"First day on a new world and its going be a long day already," Naruto thought to himself smiling as he walks down the hallway with his new friends.
> Getting to know the others part 1 
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first class was Math, as Naruto and his friends walk trough the halls to get to their class room Pinkie continues to bombared him with questions.
“Hey do you like parties? I LOVE THROWING PARTES!, and besides who in the world woudn't like parties?, hey what kind of cake flavor do you like?” Pinkie asked him without a moment to exhale.

“Well I did celebrated my birthday with my friends a couple of times. heck even my super strict teacher would give a cake or treat me Ramen. because of that i guess my favourite cake flavor is chocolate,” Naruto replied.

“Then it's settled...I'm gonna throw you an official welcoming party!!” the pink girl excitedly declared.

“Really ya don't really have to Pinkie. we can just celebrate at lunch..with lots of cake and Ramen!” the blonde exclaimed. as Naruto and Pinkie continue with their energetic conversation, Rarity and Applejack are having a conversation of their own.

“Quite the energetic one isn’t he?” Rarity asked.

“Yeah. Ah never thought i would see the day that there would be someone else that has that kind of energy,” Applejack stated.

However the fashionista saw a light blush on the cowgirls face. “This is going to be soooo interesting,” Rarity thought to herself.

The class room door was now in front of them. “Wonder how this one would turn out?” Naruto asked himself.
The four then entered the room finding the teacher and the other students.

“Oh you must be the new student Naruto Uzumaki correct?” The teacher asked.

“Yep that’s me professor calculus,” he replied."Gee this world has some weird names," Naruto thought to himself. All of the students looked at him with curiosity. This completely reminded him of the time he first entered the academy.

(Flashback)

“Alright class we have a new student today. Would you care to introduce yourself?” Iruka sensei asked.

The young blonde then stepped forward. “My names Naruto Uzumaki and I’m gonna be Hokage believe it!”

This caused the students to laugh at him loudly. “Hey! I’m dead serious!” the boy yelled in annoyance.

(End flashback)

“Well it’s nice to meet you Naruto,” the teacher said to the blond. “There’s an available seat over there,” he gestured to available seat which was right next to Applejack’s.

Naruto then excitedly sat on to his chair. Applejack took her seat as well as her lips began curving to a smile with Rarity looking from the distance.
The session then began with the teacher lecturing the equations where Naruto listens in a confused state, back at the academy there wasn’t that much math it was all about ninja stuff.

The teacher then gave them a quiz with several equations they need to solve.

Though one student was lying his head against his desk with his hands clutching the back of it.

“Dammit! I suck at these kind of paper tests. It’s my first day here and I’m gonna screw it!” Naruto exclaimed to himself in worry.

“Are you having trouble there?” Naruto turned his head to the source. She had long indigo hair with a pink streak and lavender skin. She was wearing a pale blue buttoned shirt along with a red bow, a dark purple skirt where on the hem was a large pink 6 point star with white sparkles around it and dark purple boots.

“Yeah pretty much” the blonde replied with a sheepish smile while scratching the back of his head.

"My names Twilight Sparkle by the way" the lavender girl introduced.

"She's also the smartest in all of Canterlot high," Pinkie stated who's seat was in front of Naruto's.

Twilight blushed in embarrassment. "Pinkie I don't want everyone to think I'm some kind of show off," she stated.

Pinkie then nodded and ran her finger across her mouth "zipping" it.

"Now that that's settled I'll help you out," said Twilight. She then began helping him with his quiz.

"Aaannndd done,"

"Man thanks a lot sparkles yer a life saver!" Naruto said thanking her.

She giggled. "Anything for a friend," over the next half hour the session continued as Naruto spent most of his time scratching his head in confusion until the bell finally rang.

"Okay class that's it for today you can all take your recess, but remember to do your homework," the teacher stated.

"Yes profesor!" All of the students replied as they exit the class room.

"Man Math and physics are sooo hard!" Naruto whined.

"It's not that bad once you study and learn about it," Twilight stated as they walk out of the classroom.

"Ya'll don't have these kind of subjects back at yer old academy?" Applejack asked.

Naruto shook his head. "Not really it was mostly training, shuriken throwing, tree climbing and most of the lectures are ninja related stuff but they do use these kind of subjects but not that much," Naruto explained.

"But now that it's recess let's continue with the tour!" Pinkie excitedly told the blonde.

"Yeah let's go!" Naruto replied raising his fist up with pinkie doing the same.

"Well while you two darlings continue on with your tour me and Applejack will just get something to eat," said Rarity. She and the cowgirl then departs from the group.

"Well I gotta study the professors latest lesson so I guess I'll be seeing you off," Twilight said to Naruto and Pinkie.

"Where ya gonna study?" Naruto asked the lavender girl.

"I think I'll just do it at the cafeteria," Twilight replied but as she turned around to walk off she bumps into someone causing her books to fall to the floor. He had spiky blue hair and was wearing a white shirt with a blue shield and yellow lightning bolt with a brown jacket over it, blue jeans and a pair of runners.

The blue haired teen the knelled down to pick up the books but Twilight does the same causing their hands to make contact.

"Oh Flash! Im so so sorry!" Twilight said as she retracted her hand blushing madly.

Flash chuckled. "It's okay Twilight we always meet up like this so I'm already used to it," he replied to the lavender girl who was still blushing as he hander her the books.

She took the books and nods before clearing her throat. "Flash this is Naruto Uzumaki he's new here and Naruto this is Flash Sentry,"

"Hey nice to meet ya Flash!" The blonde greeted as the shook hands.

"Nice to meet you to Naruto," Flash replied. "What's with those whiskers ya got a fox inside you or something?" He asked.

Before Naruto can reply Pinkie answers on his behalf. "He was born with them but I hope no one would think that it's weird," Pinkie stated.

Naruto knew that pinkie had a point because the reason why most of the students stared at him with curiosity was probably because of his whisker marks.

"Don't worry I think there pretty cool," Flash assured the pink girl and the blonde.

"Yeah something that rare are really unique," Twilight explained.

Both Naruto and Pinkie sighed in relief. 

(Cafeteria)

Rarity and Applejack were eating their snacks peacefully but Rarity could not help but notice how her friend was smiling with a light blush during the next few minutes promoting her to break off the silence.

"Are you thinking off a certain blonde boy darling?" Rarity asked deepening the cowgirls blush.

"W-what? No!...ah was just thinking of a joke mah brother told me," she then turned away concealing the rising heat on her cheeks.

This only made the fashionista giggle. "Applejack because you've become so honest in your entire life you don't know how to lie in a convincing way," she explained.

"S-shut up," the cowgirl said with a pout.

Rarity then got out of her seat. "I'll just be going out for a walk," but as she walks off she faces the cowgirl once more. "But if you need any advice, feel free to tell me darling," she said winking making Applejack pout once more.

(Back at the halls)

Naruto had just told Twilight and Flash about his status as a ninja.

"That's pretty awesome being a ninja and all," Flash said with an impressed face.

"But is it okay if I ask you a bunch of questions about your ninja status later?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah that would be awesome!" Naruto declared. "But now I need to go the tour continues right Pinkie?"

"He's right! c'mon let's go!!" Pinkie shouted as she grabs Naruto by the wrist dragging again.

Twilight and Flash watched the two run off into the distance.

"Well I gotta go Twilight, hope I bump into you again" Flash said waving her off with the lavender girl nodding. as he was no longer visible she lets out all of the compressed heat in her face.



"So where to now Pinkie?" Naruto asked as she finally slowed down.
"I know: the soccer field!!" the pink girl the tightened her grip on the blondes wrist as she dashes onward.

The two then arrived on the soccer field there stood a girl with cyan skin and long rainbow colored hair. she was wearing a white shirt with a primary colored lightning bolt with a dark blue short sleeved jacket, a pink skirt with white stripes with black shorts and blue boots.

She sees the two and waves at them as they approach her. "Hey Pinkie, who's this guy?" the cyan girl asked.

"This is Naruto Uzumaki! he's new here so I'm showing him around," Pinkie explained.

"I see, hey there the names Rainbow Dash the strongest and fastest!" she said holding up her fist.

"Nice to meet ya too!" the blonde replied as he bumps her fist.

"Hey you ever played soccer before?" Rainbow asked the blonde.

Naruto recalled back in the Academy he would join the other kids to play that game though he would usually loose maybe this time it would be different.

"Yeah I used to play that game when I was a kid," Naruto replied.

"Great! then I challenge you!" the cyan girl said to the blonde.

"Oh you're on!"

The two then began their match with Pinkie acting as referee. it lasted for a few minutes with the score tied from 10/10 though both were now exhausted.

"Guys that was sooo epic!!" Pinkie exclaimed as she ran towards the two.

"You're not that bad blondie," Rainbow said while panting.

"You too....Rainbow crash!" Naruto joked making Pinkie fall to the ground laughing but while it had a positive effect on her it wasn't so much for Rainbow Dash as she began cracking her knuckles while gritting her teeth.

"Rainbow-WHAT?! WHY YOU LITTLE!" Rainbow delivers a powerful punch onto Naruto's face sending him flying through the air.

As the blonde continues to gain altitude he remembers a certain pink haired girl that would also tend to do these kind of things to him.

"RAINBOW DASH IS THE SECOND SAKURAAAAAA!" the blond declared as he begins to descend back to the ground.

> Getting to know the others part 2
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the Cafeteria Applejack has finished her snacks and takes a stroll trough the school. though the image of a certain blonde boy smiling has yet to leave her mind.

"Geez...ah can't think of anything else besides him...maybe ah should have a talk with him," she said to herself as her pace quickens to find him.


Back at the soccer field Naruto crashes back to the ground lying down as Rainbow Dash begins to calm down.

"R-rainbow what the heck?!" Pinkie angrily asked.

"Hehehe....whoops," the cyan girl said sheepishly. as the two approach him Applejack arrives.

"Hey ya'll...where's Naruto Pinkie aren't ya his tour guide?" the cowgirl asked. Pinkie and Rainbow turned their gazes with scared and sweaty faces.

"Heyyy Applejack what's up," Pinkie greeted with a half baked smile as she and Rainbow block the half concious blonde from the cowgirl's view.

"What's that behind ya?" she asked as she tried to look at what their blocking so desprately but was futile as they keep getting in the way.

"I-it's nothing AJ just go back to your applebucking," Rainbow said with a sweaty face.

"Were at school Rainbow and Don't lie tah me what are ya guys hidin?" she asked with a stern face. before one of the two could get a chance to reply Naruto rises from the ground with a swollen face.

"N-naruto?! what in tarnation happened to ya?!" Applejack asked in panic and worry.

"Uuuugghhh," Naruto weakly mumbled as Applejack rushes towards him.

She would then patch up the blonde's swollen cheek with the cyan and pink girls watching on. 

"Gee Rainbow it was just a joke," Naruto said rubbing his cheek.

"Wait a minute you did this Rainbow?!" Applejack asked with her own comedy face.

"Ehehe...sorry bout that whiskers," Rainbow said while scratching the back of her head.

"But you kinda remind me of a person..no make that two persons to be exact," Naruto said as Applejack continues to tend to his cheek.

"Really? who's the first one?" Rainbow asked as she and Pinkie sat in front of him ready to listen to the blonde but before he can begin Pinkie digs her hand through her thick hair and lets out bags of chips.

"Here, a story won't be really good with an empty tummy," Pinkie said to which the others agreed as she hands out the chips.

"Hmmm where should I start...well she really likes to snap when she's pissed, whenever I end up doing that she would punch me flying. Heck I think you just beat her record on sending me on highest altitude ya know!" Naruto snickered.

"Well that's quite the person sugarcube," said Applejack who has finished cleaning up his cheek. 

"Yeah! Who would've thought that Rainbow Dash would also be good at SSF," she stated though her acronym gave everyone confused faces.

"SSF?" all three of them asked.

"Sending someone flying, duh!" she explained.

"Pinkie Pie..your so random," Dash commented earning a chuckle from all three.

"Well anyway her names Sakura and despite that scary side of her and being a little one sided she's really kind," Naruto explained while chewing in his chips.

"Now who's the second?" Rainbow asked, also chewing in her chips.

"Oh right well..this guy also likes to show off..a lot, his names Sasuke," Naruto remarked, earning curious looks from the girls.

"Really? what kind of person is this Sasuke fella," Applejack asked with Rainbow and Pinkie nodding in agreement for Naruto to answer the question.

"Well back at the academy he was really popular with all the girls," Naruto remarked as this earned the girls curiosity even further.

The blonde then puts up a smile. "He was also really cool and good lookin too...just like me I suppose" he added which made the three girls laugh for comparing himself to another person just like that as Naruto laughs along at his poor joke.

"Well anyway his grades and abilities were always top notch...exactly like me," he said with a grin but it had the same effect on the girls: laughter.

"Any more descriptions your gonna connect with yer lies?" Applejack asked while snickering though Naruto now had an annoyed pout on his face.

"However..he was a total loner with a bad attitude who always talk trash to other people like he was an absolute smart-ass totally unlike me!!" Naruto exclaimed with his comedy face.

"Seems like a pretty decent guy to me," Rainbow shrugged casually as Naruto grinned.

"But...he was my rival!! and even now that hasn't changed," He remarked which made the girls smile in amusement.

"Really? where is he now?" Pinkie asked and Naruto has to come up with a decent answer.

"Right now he's away traveling but don't ask me where his exact location is," he explained.

"Wait what kind of academy were you in Naruto?" asked Rainbow.

"The ninja academy!!" Pinkie replied before Naruto could.

"Wait your a ninja?! that's so cool!" Rainbow sqealed.

Naruto grinned. "Yep I'm the a ninja alright!" he replied. as they continue their conversation they hear the bell rang.

"Looks like recess is over ya'll," Apllejack stated.

"Hey Naruto can I borrow your headband pleeeaaase?" Pinkie requested.

"Hehe okey-dokie-lokey!" Naruto said as he took of his headband exposing the rest of his bangs.

"H-he looks kinda cute without that headgear of his," Applejack said to herself as her lips curled into a smile and her blush deepening.

"Yeeeyyyy I'm a ninja!" Pinkie exclaimed as she dons Naruto's forehead protector and begins running around punching and kicking the air.

"What's the next class anyway?" Naruto asked.

"Next class is Gym," Rainbow replied as an idea quickly came to her head.

"Wait a minute...Naruto you said that Sasuke is your rival right?" Asked Rainbow and Naruto nodded.

"And you said that I reminded you if him right?" She asked.

"Yeah and?" The young ninja asked.

"Then that means I'm your rival too!" Rainbow shouted in excitement. The idea of having a ninja for a rival was really interesting for the cyan girl.

Naruto smiled. "Hehe I guess so!" he replied as the two shared another fist bump.

"I'm so gonna pummel ya at dodgeball!" She declared with a smile to which the blonde snickered.

"Well see about that!" Naruto smiled back.


The four then proceed to head to Gym with Pinkie running ahead still playing ninja. Applejack continues to look at Naruto's bangs that suited him well.

"Hey Applejack thanks again for fixing up my cheek!" Naruto said while smiling brightly making her blush a little and slightly avoided his gaze.

"Not a problem sugarcube and Rainbow please learn how to take a li'l joke will ya," the cowgirl stated making her sheepishly nod.

The four then sees a girl walking towards them but she was reading a book. the girl had yellow skin and long pink hair with a butterfly clip, she was wearing a white sleeveless shirt along with a light green skirt with butterflies on the hem and light green boots.

The girl almost bumped into rainbow if she din't looked ahead and stopped in time.

"Hey Fluttershy," Rainbow greeted with a smile.

"Oh hi Rainbow Dash," Fluttershy said in a soft and timid tone.

"Naruto this is Fluttershy and Fluttershy this is Naruto," Pinkie introduced as she tightened her loosening headband.

"Hey there!" Naruto happily greeted at the yellow girl.

"Oh...um..h-hi," she timidly replied as she hid her face behind her hair.

Naruto chuckled at her timid actions. "She's kinda like Hinata," he thought to himself.

"Sorry bout that Naruto she's just really shy," Applejack said to Naruto.

"Hehe it's alright," Naruto replied as Pinkie stepps in.

"Mr. whiskers here is a ninja and this headband belong to him and im just borrowing it!" Pinkie explained in a slightly fast tone.

Fluttershy becomes interested at this. "Oh my! a ninja in canterlot high? that's really interesting,"  she said as some of her shyness dissipates.

"Hehe that's right!" Naruto said smiling.

Seeing his bright and cheerful smile make her face tomato red and once again hid her face behind her long hair.

"There's no need to be shy fluttershy were officially friends!" The blonde happily exclaimed while also realizing how her name mirrors her personality. 

She mustered the courage to reply. "R-right were now friends!" She said with a bright smile

"Oh! I-I almost forgot here's the new "daring do" book you've been asking for," she softly said as she hands out a thick book to the cyan girl.

"Oh right! Thanks a lot Fluttershy!" Rainbow said as she thanked the timid girl.

Naruto slightly snickered as he remembers a certain person that would have a similar reaction when he's favourite book gets a new release.




"Well..um I just need to get some things from my locker so um..see you all at gym class?" Fluttershy softly asked.

"Yeah you bet!" Naruto happily replied to the timid girl as he blushed but managed to smile as she waved her friends goodbye and walks off.

"Alright to the gym!" Both Naruto and Pinkie yelled as they dash off with Rainbow and Applejack not far behind.

"This is some warmup huh AJ?" asked Rainbow with a smile to the cowgirl.

"Yeah those two have the exact amount of energy!" Applejack replied as they catchup to the two.

"Look there's the gym!" Naruto joyfully shouted and finds the other students going through the door as well.


The four gets though the door while panting. "T-that's it for the warm uuupp" Naruto said in an exhausted tone and sits to the floor.

"Whoa! You okay there blondie," Naruto looked up to the source. She had amber skin and long red orange hair with yellow streaks. She was wearing a black leather jacket with a dark purple shirt that had a red and yellow sun along with an orange skirt with yellow and purple stripes along with brown boots like Applejack's minus the apple logos.

The girl offers her hand to which the blonde accepts. "Yeah just a little intense run to the gym!" Naruto said with a smile as she helped him up.

"I'm Sunset shimmer what's your name?" she asked but before he can reply Pinkie cuts him off again.

"Hey there Sunset! This is Naruto Uzumaki he's new here and I'm showing him around oh! And he's also a ninja and I'm borrowing his headband!" Pinkie said without a breath as she gestures at the black cloth around her.

"I see, then welcome to Canterlot high Naruto!" she said smiling.

"Hehe thanks!" Naruto happily replied as he shook hands with her. The coach then enters the gym and blows his whistle.

"Alright everyone listen up your PE is about to begin so get changed!" He said to the students.

"Yes coach armour!" all the students replied as they went to their changing rooms.

"And you must be Naruto correct?" the coach asked the blonde.

"Yes coach armour that's him!" Pinkie said.

"Pinkie! stop cutting me off!" Naruto yelled with his comedy face to which Rainbow and Applejack chuckled at.

"Well anyway since you're new here you don't have the required PE uniform yet so I'll let it pass," coach armour said with a smirk.

''Yes coach!" Naruto replied with a salute.

The coach chuckles. "Well then as for the rest of you, go to your changing rooms," the girls then went to their changing rooms as Naruto waits for them.


A few minutes later everyone shows up in their required clothing. "Gee I feel so out of place, first I was the only one not wearing the shinobi uniform at the war and now this?" Naruto thought to himself slightly upset.

''Hey Naruto!" he turned to the source and finds Twilight and Rarity walking towards him.

"I must say Darling you look quite strange without that headgear of yours but it suits you well," Rarity remarked but she quickly looses interest at his spiky hair as she begins scanning his track suit again. "oooohh his outfit is just sooo unique! I wonder if I should make a line up out of it?" she tittered to herself.

"Alright everyone the first one will be the usual obstacle course so everyone get up front," the coach said as everyone heads to the front of the course which were three sets enough for everyone to takes turns to.

"Okay everyone split into three groups," the coach ordered as everyone splits into their perspective courses.

Naruto joins the group on the far right side which also had Pinkie, Rainbow, Sunset and Applejack in it.

"Ya ever been in an obstacle course Naruto?" asked Applejack to which he nodded.

"Yeah! I've been in these kind of things through the academy," he happily said which made her blush a little but smiled back.

"Oh! I almost forgot here you go Narry!" Pinkie said as she hands his headband back.

"Alright I'm gonna nail this ninja style!" Naruto declared as he pridefully dons his forehead protector and helds out his fist.






"Yeah! lets do this!" Rainbow declared as she slams her fist onto her palm.

"Right behind ya Rainbow!" Applejack said as she stood beside Naruto, Rainbow, Pinkie and Sunset.

Both Sunset and Pinkie giggled. "This is gonna be fun!" Sunset said with Pinkie giving a thumbs up.

"Okay GO!" the coach blows his whistle as everyone first on their line dashes fourth with the next ones not far behind.

They would climb the walls go through beams and jump over several objects.

Finally it was Naruto's turn as the girls and boys get through the course flawlessly. "You'r turn Naruto!" Applejack said to the blonde to which he smirked at.

"Finally!" he joyfully shouted as he dashes fourth. 


Meanwhile at an local park something rises from one of the tree branches. he had short spiky green hair, one half of his body was jet black with a single yellow eye while the other half was pure white and distorted along with green tentacle like appendages.



"W-where am I?" the creature asked to himself.


> Getting to know the others part 3
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto dashes fourth at the obstacle course as his friends watch and cheer him on. he would effortlessly leap over the wall, walked the beam with his hands, swiftly went past the poles in a zigzag pattern, jumped over object to object.

He then runs back to his group where all of his friends especially Rainbow gave him a high five. "Dude that was awesome!" Rainbow happily shouted to the young ninja.

"Hehehe I'm the best!" he declared while pointing his thumb at his forehead protector. 

"Naruto you just made a new record!" coach armor declared with a smile.

Before Naruto can celebrate a girl pushed him away. She had long white hair with pale blue streaks along with sky blue skin and purple eyes.

"Out of my way blondie whiskers it's Trixie's turn to get through the course!" The girl declared as she runs toward the obstacles.

"Who the heck was that?" Naruto asked a bit annoyed at her rudeness.

"That's just Trixie she thinks she's the most popular girl in school," Applejack remarked.

"Now, watch in awe as the Great and Powerful Trixie goes trough this course with grace!" She shouted as she runs fourth.

"This should be priceless," said Applejack as she sats on the bleachers.

"Hehe your telling me," Naruto replied as he sat right next to her. They would then watch the show off clumsily go through the course as most of the students began laughing.

"Hehe more like the Great and Powerful phony!" Naruto joked which made Applejack laugh.

"That was a good one Naruto," the Applejack commented smiling but as he smiled back she could feel her heart pound faster by the second as Naruto moved closer to her as they continue to watch Trixie's clumsy performance and the students laughter grew.

"Hey Applejack you're a cowgirl right?" Naruto asked to which she nodded. "Then that means you live in a farm right?" 

"Nice guess there sugarcube," she replied. "It's called Sweet Apple Acres we mostly just do Applebucki'n, makin Apple cider and all other stuff," Applejack explained.

"Hehe That's kinda awesome!" said Naruto oblivious to her blush from those words as they smile at each other. 

"What about you? What's it like being a ninja?" asked Applejack.

Naruto was aware that this world didn't have that much forests. "Well...after I was done with the academy all I really did was jump from building to building, tree climbing sometimes even sparing matches," Naruto explained.

"And lemme guess, you were dead last at the academy," Applejack said between her giggles which made him laugh sheepishly.

"Y-yeah I guess I was!" He said with a bright smile. Applejack's blush resurfaced as she edged closer to him to the point where the sides of their arms are touching but Naruto smiled as he enjoyed her company.

Meanwhile Trixie continues to get through the course still getting humiliated.

"H-how dare you all laugh at the Great and Powerful Trixie?!" she angrily asked with her comedy face. "S-she's just not feeling well that's all," she added with a pout.

Naruto grinned. "Heh! Maybe next time stop pushing others!" He added to which she only huffed and walked away.

"Ya really showed her Naruto!" Applejack said making him laugh sheepishly while scratching his head. "Gee..he's so cute when he's embarrassed," she thought to herself.

"Alright everyone next one is dodgeball," the coach stated. In the next few minutes the students helped each other in cleaning up the obstacles.

Naruto would see how strong Applejack was and smiled as she helped him out but he was oblivious to the faint red flush on her cheeks.

Dodgeball was now about to start and everyone was seperated into two groups with Naruto, Applejack, Pinkie, Twilight and Flash in group 1 while Rainbow, Sunset, Rarity and Fluttershy were in group 2.

"Hey there newbie!" Naruto looks at the source from the first group. She had yellow skin along with long spiky orange hair. "Naruto right?" The girl asked.

"Yup that's me!" He replied smiling.

"Well nice to meet ya whiskers I'm Spitfire!" She said smiling back at the blonde as they bumped fists. "Hope your good at dodging cause I'm not holding back," she stated.

"Hehe of course I am," he stated as he remembers those times he would dodge enemy projectiles.

"Okay everyone get to your positions," the coach ordered to which everyone quickly compiled to.

"Let's do this black and orange!" Spitfire declared with a smirk.

"Oh it is on!" Naruto smirked back as the coach blows his whistle starting the game. Everyone quickly grabs a ball as a barrage of rubber balls rain on.

With his quick reflexes Naruto was able to easily avoid the red spheres hurling towards him. "Wow! that guy's hard to hit!" Rainbow commented as she watched him dodge.

Naruto then unleashes a barrage of balls at his opponents taking out some of them. "Hehe! how do ya like me now?"

Spitfire smirked. "Not bad there blondie!" she said as she throws more red spheres at her opponents taking them out and the two are the only ones remaining.

Naruto then throws a ball at her but she easily catches it and throws it back at him. the ball slams powerfully onto his face causing him to crash to the floor with a nosebleed and cartoonish spirals for eyes.

"You weren't bad there Naruto," Spitfire said as she helped him up.

"Yeah you too!" Naruto replied smiling as the coach blows his whistle.

"Match over! group 2 wins!" he shouted.

"Aw yeah!" Rainbow bragged in excitement.

"Hey Naruto nice face print," Applejack commented at the face print at the ball that slammed on his face.

"Hey It even got your whiskers!" Pinkie added as Naruto laughs at his face print. Pinkie would then take his headband as she once again plays ninja.

"You were awesome out there Mr.Naruto!" Naruto looks to the source. she had light grey skin and long blonde hair however perhaps her most distinguishing features are her yellow eyes as one is facing upward and the other a bit lower.

(start music)

Naruto felt a bit disturbed at her eyes as he could not tell where she's exactly looking. "Uhhh...thanks," Naruto replied still disturbed at her eyes.

"My names Derpy! It's sooo nice to meet ya!" the girl squealed though the ninja still had that disturbed look on his face.



"W-what's with her eyes it looks creepier than Itachi's sharingan...!" he thought to himself. Applejack quickly noticed his state of mind and decides to break off his trance.

"Naruto, Derpy's eyes are really just like that but she's a really nice girl honest," she explained with a smile which calmed him down a little.

Naruto finally mustered the courage to reply to the crossed-eyed girl. "H-hey there Derpy nice to meet ya too!" 

Derpy giggles. "There's no need to be shy Mr. Naruto I'm super nice!" she said oblivious to what he's really felling.

"Y-yeah! and were now officially friends!" Naruto said as the two share a high-five. "What do ya do around the school?" Naruto asked.

"I just do whatever I can to help!" Derpy cheerfully replied.

"But ya'll can't do all that unless you make one hey of a mess," chuckled Applejack.

"Judging from her eyes, i think that's to be expected," Naruto teased.

"But not all the time!" Derpy protested between her giggles.

"Well everyone that's it for today you can all go back to your perspective classrooms," said coach Armour.

"Yes coach!" all of the students replied.

"Well I gotta get to my classroom, see ya Naruto!" Derpy said as she waved them off.

(end music)

"That...was weird," Naruto commented as he watch the grey girl run to the dressing room.

"Ya'll get used to it once ya get to know her Naruto," Applejack explained. "Well ah better get changed," she said as she and the others head for the dressing room leaving him alone once again.

"Hey kid, you starting to get used to this new world?" asked a familiar voice inside him promoting him to enter his subconsciousness.

"Kurama! how's it going?!" Naruto happily asked to the fox.

"I'm fine but most of my chakra is still drained so you can't go kurama mode for a while," explained Kurama.

"That's fine with me!" he replied smiling. "It's not like Madara just came back from the dead and went with me right?" 

"I guess you do have a point," stated Kurama. "Though I've been looking at you're vision..this world really is something, " Kurama commented.

"I know right, everything here is kinda epic!" Naruto excitedly replied to the fox. 

"And the names here are rather unique too,'' Kurama added with a smile."But earlier when that girl with violet hair asked you about your whisker marks and you sweat like crazy as if that crossed the line" he said with a stern face.

"I know.. I really wanna tell my friends about this," Naruto said to the fox.

"Then stop being so scared and give them a chance!" Kurama shouted to the blonde.

"I know that Kurama!" Naruto shouted back. "But at the right time," he added to which the fox nodded in agreement.

"Hey look your friends are coming back better go," Kurama said as Naruto exits his subconscious.

The girls were now back to their initial outfits. "What's the next class?" Naruto asked.

''The next class is music which is currently held at the band room since it's now gonna involve the instruments," Twilight replied. 

"Hey are you good with instruments Naruto?" Rainbow asked Naruto.

"Yeah! I tried playing that guitar once," he replied to the cyan girl.

"Great! then that means you don't need the manuals on playing one even though it's probably just one pickle of a lecture!" Pinkie said to the two. "Leettsss goooo!" She shouted as she and Naruto runs to the hall.

"Warm up time!" Rainbow shouted as she and rest of the girls runs after the two.

Naruto and the 7 girls then reached the band room where the girls quickly entered the room. Inside there was a few instruments and a small stage.





They are soon greeted by a girl with magenta shades. she had white skin along with shoulder length spike dark blue hair with light blue streaks. she was wearing a white shirt with dark and light blue linings and a white skirt with a music note on the hem, she also had dark pink wrist warmers which extends up to her hands along with long dark pink socks with black and green boots.

"Hey there Viny!" Pinkie greeted to the girl as they shared a high-hive and a hug. "Naruto this is Vinyl Scratch, Viny for short!" Pinkie happily introduced.

"Nice to meet you Naruto," Vinyl greeted to the blonde before noticing the black cloth on Pinkie's head. "What's with the headband Pinkie?" she asked.

"Oh this belong to Naruto because he's a ninja!" she explained which made her eye's sparkle brightly.

"A ninja?! here in Canterlot high?! THAT'S SO AWESOME!" Vinyl loudly squealed to the blonde.

"Y-yeah I'm a ninja alright," Naruto replied as his ears recover from her sudden shout.

"Ohh this is gonna be the best day ever," Said Vinyl. "Hey you ever played music before?" she asked.

"Well I did played that guitar once," Naruto replied. ''Why do ya ask?"

"That's because I'm the best DJ in this school,'' she explained.

"Cool," Naruto commented. "Whatever a "DJ" is," he thought to himself.

"Oh look class is about to start, better grab my gear, see ya guys," said Vinyl as she separates from the group as the teacher and more of the students enters.

"Alright class settle down. Now were going to start with our latest lesson which is all about the instruments now before all of you can sit down on the floor you can all pick out an instrument," all of the students complied as they all sat looked for an instrument with the teacher sits on the stage starting their lesson as the students sat on the floor as the class goes on.

Naruto's instrument was a black guitar and begins to scan it full of curiosity. "Hmmm...these guitars aren't really like the ones at my world it's kinda....futuristic," he thought to himself.

The class continued in the next several minutes with Naruto who was on the far back continuously fiddles with the strings of the guitar with curiosity sending quiet but rhythmic tunes.

"Hey yer kinda good," commented Applejack who was sitting at his right.

"Yeah kinda like I do with my drums," Pinkie whispered who was sitting at the left as the blonde sheepishly smiles, surprised that he got a melody at the first try.

"You're the new student correct?" Asked a girl with grey skin similar to Derpy's except slightly darker. She had long elegant black hair and was wearing a white buttoned shirt and a pink bow with a light purple dress over it she also had long white socks and flat black shoes.

"Oh hello Octavia," greeted Rarity who was not far to the left. "Naruto this Octavia, one of the schools finest musicians," she introduced.

"Yo!" He greeted her with a smile and a salute. Octavia wanted to frown as she expected to greet her with even a little formality but it somehow felt normal to her and instead smiled and giggled.

"It is nice to meet you Naruto and what Rarity said was true I'm one of the schools finest musicians," she explained.

"Hehe cool!" He commented. "Hey what's with the giant violin there?" He asked gesturing at the large instrument at her hands.

"It's called a cello Naruto It's a member of the string family," Octavia explained to the blonde which put a confused look on him making her realize that he has an idiotic and naive side to him but found it suitable to his demeanor.

"Sorry, Naruto is kind off a slow learner," Applejack explained to the musician as she remembered how easily he got confused during math class.

"I think it's slow learner level 2," Twilight seconded.

"Hey im right here ya know!" Naruto told the girls in annoyance which got a giggle from all of them.

"N-naruto?" Called Fluttershy who was sitting right behind him who had a tambourine in her hands. "D-do other ninjas ever play instruments?" She timidly asked.

"Yeah! Some ninjas are also traveling musicians I met tons of them before," he explained which immediately brightened her features. "T-that's good to know you know...that some ninjas are musicians as well," Fluttershy said with a smile.

They then ended their conversation as they fear the teacher might notice them and they listened on with the discussion being held they would then begin playing with their perspective instruments helping Naruto get used to it but in a slow and slightly clumsy manner . After what seemed like an hour the bell finally rang.

"Okay class that brings an end at our class you go take your lunch," said the teacher as he and the students exit the room leaving Naruto and the girls behind.

As the girls placed the instruments back at their proper places Naruto spots an object of interest. it was a black electric guitar and out of curiosity he runs toward the instrument and picks it up.

"Hmmm...this is gonna be tricky,'' he stated with a smile as he raised up his arm and runs his fingers through the strings unleashing a wild tune.

"Wooaahh...that was so epic! how did you do that?!" Rainbow dash squealed in surprise and excitement as she ran towards the ninja.

"hehe...just got lucky i guess,'' Naruto replied sheepishly while scratching at the back of his head.

"Dude do it again!" Rainbow requested.

"Yeah that was some mighty playin there Naruto," Applejack stated. But everyone's stomachs began rumbling.

"Let's get some lunch first!" Naruto requested with a smile to which the girl nood in agreement.
> Noodles?

Back at Naruto's world:

The Naruto duplicate and the rest of team 7 has recovered from the war and are now enjoying ramen at ichiraku.

"YUP! nothin' tastes better than ramen after a job well done!" the Naruto duplicate exclaimed.

"Geez...you haven't changed a bit," Sasuke stated in slight annoyance. Sasuke, like everyone else are unaware that their Naruto is an exact copy of the original who is now banished from this world.

"I don't think he'll ever change," Sakura said smiling. as the three continue their conversation kakashi was about to take off his mask to eat his meal.

"Hey guys look," Naruto whispered to Sasuke and Sakura gesturing at their sensei.

"W-what?" Sakura looks at her sensei and resisted the urge to scream in pure excitement.

"F-finally after all these years.." Sauke commented with a slight excited face.

"Time to eat my mealll," Kakashi said in a lazy tone. As he pulls down the heart beats of his three students went faster by the second, the mask has now gone below his nose.

"Finally.." Naruto said in his mind.

"After..."  Sakura continued in her mind.

"All these years..." Sasuke finished in his mind.

"THE FACE OF KAKASHI IS FINALLY REVEALED!" all three mentally yelled in excitement.

The mask was about to be completely pulled down until....

"Hey there guys how's it going?!" Ino and her teammates happily asked blocking their view at the last moment.

"AAAAAAAHHHH!!" Naruto and Sakura yelled in horror.

"OUT OF THE WAY INO-PIG!" Sakura yelled.

"WHAT DID YA SAY FOREHEAD?!" Ino furiously asked as they beat each other up. After a full minute of slaps and punches the girls calmed down though Naruto as Sasuke were caught in the middle of their cat-fight.

"Uugghh Sakura why did ya hit me too?" Naruto whined.

"Instead of whining around we need to see Kakashi's face while we still have the time!" Sasuke shouted as his teamamtes follow him back at the stand.

However once they arrived back at the stand Kakashi has finished his meal with his mask once again leveled up. "Ahhh that was a good bite," he commented. But Teuchi and Ayame had dreamy expressions on their faces.

"S-so handsome!" both of them squealed with Teuchi having a light blush while Ayame had hearts for eyes.

"I-i really want to know that guys face..." all three whispered.

"Hmm? what's with those faces?" Kakashi asked to his subordinates who still bared suprised and curious faces. 

"I wonder how's my original doing? i hope he's not going on a rampage out there since the Hokage gig has been passed onto me.." the duplicate thought to himself.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________
(Back at the other world)

Naruto and the girls were walking down the halls having various conversations.

"Hey..don't ninjas normally wear masks and back suits?" Sunset asked to Naruto.

"Nah..I don't wanna look weird around everyone," he joked which got a giggle from the girls.

Rarity then walks beside Naruto as she begins rubbing her fingers on his sleeve with sparkling eyes. "Ohhh my! the fabric... it's sooo smooth!" she squealed. "Where did you ever found such an outfit? Please tell me so I can get in touch with it's tailor!"

"I actually me and my master just got this from a random store...and i can't really remember the store's name ehehe sorry," Naruto apologized.

"That's okay Darling for this is giving me new ideas for my line up!" the fashionista happily replied. "Was this always your outfit?" she asked while still rubbing her hands at his sleeve.

"No, my previous outfit was similar to this only it was a bit more loose and the colors are blue and orange," Naruto replied. "but I had to switch since it was worn to shreds over the years," he continued.

This made Rarity imagine his previous color scheme. "Hmm...I think black and orange suits you better Naruto," She replied while still rubbing his sleeve and a few seconds later she let go as she memorized every inch of the sleeve's fabric.

"But what about yer headband? what's with that spiral thing on the middle?" Applejack asked as she gestures at the insignia on the headbands metal piece.

"Hmmm...how do I put this?.. Well it actually represents a leaf," Naruto explained.

"But why is it a spiral?" asked Applejack.

"I don't really know," he replied with a shrug.

"Uh uh I know! maybe because the leaves always blow with the wind in a spiral direction!" Pinkie suggested.

"Hey your right that might be the reason why!" Naruto declared with a smile as wide as the party girl.

"Wait why'r we walking let's speed up! the line's gonna pile on!" Rainbow dash shouted as she runs at a fast pace with the rest not far behind.


They arrived at the cafeteria and fortunately the place was not yet that crowded with students.



"Whew! it's not crowded yet let's go guys!" said Rainbow as they grabed their treys to get their lunch with Naruto at the back of the line.

"I wonder what's Ramen like in here?" Naruto thought to himself. "I guess since this is a different world the It's not gonna be like the ones at ichiraku, ya know." he sighed. A minute later it was finally his turn.

"Hey there kid waddaya need?" asked the lunch lady.

"Ramen please!" Naruto replied.

"You mean noodles?" the lunch lady asked to which he nodded. "Well why din't ya say so? one bowl of noodles commin up!" the lady said with a smile as she placed the bowl of soup and noodles on his trey.

Naruto then takes in the delicious scent of his meal in exhales in a hungry fashion. "Hey lady ya got any chopsticks?" asked Naruto as he stared in curiostiy at a metal piece where it had four metal appendages jutting out as he holds it in front of his face.

"Why? you never used a fork before?" asked the lady.

"Fork? is that what this thing is called?" Naruto said to himself before responding to the lady. "Y-yeah of course i use a fork, i just use chopsticks when it comes to ramen," he said.

"Noodles kid we don't really call it ramen that commonly," she explained.

"Oh I see..well anyway thanks!" but as he prepares to go to his table the lunch lady stops him.

"Wait a minute kid that would be 4 dollars," she said. Naruto then digs his hand onto his pocket and lets out his frog wallet but as he opens the zipper he finds it empty as a small bit of dust floats out.

"Ummm..." he murmured has he digs his hand on the wallet but finding nothing. 

"Idiot..you should've asked money from one of those girls, " Kurama stated which made the blonde pout in both annoyance and embarrassment. "And even if you did had money it would not be valid since this world has a different type of currency, " the kitsune added.

Naruto began mentally panicking bearing his comedy face. "It's on me," said Applejack as she hands the lady the required money. "Ah would also like noodles please," she added as she added the money she gave to the lunch lady.

"Thank you," said the lady as Naruto and Applejack walks toward their table.

"Oh man thanks a lot Applejack!" Naruto said as he gave her a hug in gratitude and This made Applejack's cheeks flare out instantly. "I really owe you one!" he said smiling, oblivious to Applejack's rising blush.

"Y-ya don't owe me anything Naruto it's what friends are for," Applejack protested as Naruto broke off the embrace. They would then grab their meal as they try to find their table.

"Hey how did ya know that I didn't had any money you were at you're table with the others right?" Naruto asked the cowgirl as they were getting close to their table.

"Pfft please ah can see yer troubled face from a mile away!" Applejack replied with a smile. "But really the school year just began and ya'll don't have any cash at yer first day of school?" she teased.

"Ehehe...sorry 'bout that," Naruto sheepishly replied while scratching the back of his head.

"There he goes again with that embarrassed smile...It's mahty idiotic but it looks good on him," Applejack thought to herself giggling.

"Hey earlier ya called noodles "ramen" which is the actually foods secondary term but it hasn't been really pronounced that much," she explained.

"Yeah I know that lady explained it to me... wait a minute you sound like Twilight all of a sudden," Naruto said slightly shocked.

"Well ah have been taking tutoring sessions from Twilight, guess ah got that from her," Applejack chuckled as they were now a few meters from their table.

"You know ah was also dead last at school when ah was a kid even Applebloom back when she was younger," she flat out revealed which put up a curious face from Naruto.

"R-really?!" Naruto asked. "W-wait that means it runs in the family...T-that means I'm your long lost brother!" Naruto shrieked only to be whacked in the head by Applejack with her other hand holding her lunch.

"Its not like that ya Idiot!" Applejack shouted with her comedy face. "Now lets go to others," she said as she quickly calmed down.

"Ugghhh...Yes mam," Naruto replied in a slow manner as she follows her to unite with the others.

"Hey! Naruto, Applejack over here!" Pinke shouted waving at the two as they approach her and the others. Pinkies lunch were hotdogs and burgers the others had the same but Fluttershy had more vegetables than meat.

"Hey Pinkie!" Both Naruto and Applejack greeted and did the same with the others. Naruto then sees a large cake at the center of the table that says "welcome Naruto" in the middle in red bubble letters. "Okay let the Naruto welcome party begin!" shouted Pinkie as a group of students gather around to share the cake and give Naruto a greeting in the next following minutes.

"Hehe thanks a lot everyone!" Naruto said to everyone as they went back to their perspective tables. "Hey Pinkie where did ya get the cake anyway?" Naruto asked.

"She works at the "Sugarcube corner" It's actually a bakery so you'll find lots of cakes, cupcakes or any other pastries," Twilight explained but she soon feels a familiar sensation as someone greets her as she turns around and sees Flash right behind her.

"Hey Twilight mind if I join in?" he asked the lavender girl.

"F-flash hey there! and y-yeah of course you can join in! ehehehehe," Twilight sheepishly said as she tried to contain her crimson blush with a smile but futile.

Flash chuckled in at her actions. "hehe she always acts so embarrassed around me," Flash thought to himself as he sat right next to her but they were so close to the point were the sleeve of his jacket was touching Twilights arm as her cheeks feel like they'll burst into flames .

Naruto then sits down next to Applejack as he stares at his meal with his mouth threatening to drool. 

(start music)

"Time to eat!!" he joyfully shouted as he grabs his chopsticks and takes in the strings of broth onto his mouth while entering his fantasy world.

 

"MMMMM! soooo good!" Naruto shouted while still slurping his dish. "This is a lot like the one at ichiraku except that this one has a lot more flavour into the soup!" he said to himself.

"Naruto don't talk while your mouth is full darling!" shouted Rarity avoiding some of the soup he spilled out of his mouth.

"Sorry," Naruto responded with his mouth still full as he continues to slurp the strings of broth and everyone was dumbfounded at how wild he eats.

"W-woah," said Sunset.

"O-oh my," said Fluttershy.

"I could have an eating contest with him to start our rival score!" Rainbow squealed.

"How can he eat that fast?" Asked twilight.

"The answer is easy Twilight: it's called hunger," Flash replied much to her embarrassment at the fact on how someone as smart as her could not answer something so simple.

"H-he eats a lot like Winona," Applejack commented.

Naruto then tackles for the pork and the egg along with the rest of the soup except for the vegtables. "Ahhh..I want more!" Naruto joyfully shouted as he gets up to taste more of the dish.

(end music)

"Wait a minute there sugarcube yer vegies aren't done yet!" Applejack said to the blonde as she grabs his wrist and pulls him back to his seat.

"Yeah I know but I need to fuel up first!" He said smiling as he tries to get up only to be pulled back down.

"Oh no ya don't yer gonna finish yer vegies whether ya like it or not," Applejack said with a serious face.

Naruto becomes slightly scared by her face. "O-okay AJ," he politely said. "Ahhhhh" he murmured as he openes his mouth waiting for the vegetables to enter his mouth.

Applejack's face instantly turned from stern to shocked. "H-he wants me to f-feed him?!" She asked to herself but Naruto was oblivious to her shock as he thinks this is normal.

"W-well might as well get his over with," said Applejack. But because she wasn't really good with chopsticks she had to do it bear handed. She picks up the group of herbage and places it on Naruto's mouth blushing. But the moment Naruto closed his mouth an inch of her fingers were trapped in it felling the inside of his lips.

Applejack felt this as her face becomes tomato red and quickly retracts her fingers as Naruto chews on the herbage. "Mmmm...it actually tastes kinda good thanks AJ!" Naruto said to the Applejack as he runs toward the counter completely oblivious to how the cowgirl felt during that moment.

"W-wait Naruto ya forgot yer cash!" Applejack shouted as she ran after him and handed him a fifty dollars.

"Oh right! Thanks AJ!" Naruto said as he took the dollars and resumes his rush towards the counter.

"Gee..he's such an idiot sometimes," Applejack murmured as she returns to her friends who then beam her with smirks. "What?" She asked.

"Naruto and AJ sitting in a tree K.I.S.S.I.N.G!" Rainbow dash teased only to be whacked in the head by Applejack as Rainbow's head comically crashes on the table.

"SHUT UP RAINBOW!" shouted Applejack with her fist steaming while Pinkie bursts out laughing except for the others.

"A-applejack please stop fighting!" Said Fluttershy in a slightly scared tone.

Rarity then giggled ignoring her friends outburst. "Ohhh you two looked so cute together! Especially that moment where you fed him!"
She squealed.

"But he's dense as a rock, he didn't even know that Applejack was blushing!" Sunset tittered.

"Hmm I wonder if Flash is like that?" Twilight asked to herself. "Hey Flash are you dense as a rock," she asked the blue haired teen.

"No probably not," he replied.

"Whew" Twilight sighed in relief.

Applejack took a deep breath as her friends had stopped teasing her but her lips curled into a smile. "You really are something Naruto," she said to herself with a bright smile.

Naruto was now at the counter. "Oh hey there kid what do ya need now," the lunch lady asked with a smile.

"Six bowls of Ramen please!" Naruto cheerfully said.

"You really like calling it that, maybe it might make the term much more popular," said the lady as she prepared his giant meal.
> Shenanigan at the cafeteria
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto now has his six bowls of Ramen and prepares to head back to the group. "Hmm..maybe I should start playing that guitar again later?" he said to himself with his usual grin.

Meanwhile the girls and flash were having a conversation. "Whatcha doing there Rartiy?" Pinkie asked to the seamstress who was drawing something on her notebook.

"Oh, this is the sketch for my new line up!" Rarity replied as she showed the party girl her drawing which was Naruto's tracksuit with accurate details. "Wait a minute...we can make this the new PE uniform!" she squealed as she thought of all the possibilities this opprotunity has.

Rainbow Dash continues to tease Applejack who would whack her head again doubling the lump on her head.

As the shenanigan continues Flash and Twilight were talking. "Though you gotta admit Naruto and AJ looked kinda cute together," Flash whispered to Twilight. 

"Yeah they kinda do," she replied. "Just like us right now," she whispered to herself with a smile but Flash heard a fraction of it.

"What was that?" Flash asked.

Twilight's face flushed as she mentally panicked. "H-he heard me?!" she mentally screamed as she was frozen in place.

"Hey Twilight you in there?" he said as he placing his hand on her shoulder increasing the red flush on her cheeks.

"Y-yeah! of course I'm here Flash w-why woudn't I be?" Twilight said while laughing nervously.

"Oookayy," Flash bluntly said as he turned away and sips his drink.

Twilight then sighs in relief. "Gee what was I thinking? I suck speaking at Fluttershy's volume," she said to herself and tries to recover from the embarrassment but she then hears Flash snickering. "What's so funny Flash?"

"Nothing.. it's just that you haven't changed a bit Twilight," Flash replied. 

"Is that a..bad thing?" Twilight asked with a frown.

"What? N-no of course not! I like you the way you are Twilight and I hope it stays like that," Flash replied with a bright smile.

"I-I like you the way you are as well Flash!" Twilight smiled back and tittered at each other.

Sunset sees this and giggled. "They're so perfect!"

Naruto then arrives."Hey guys! Sory I took so long!" Naruto cheerfully said as he sat down with his trey occupied with six large bowls of broth and soup.

"Hey are the others for us?" Pinkie asked but the blonde shook his head. "No these are all for me," he replied much to everyone's surprise.

"R-really?! Can you even handle it?" Asked Applejack.

"Yeah! Ramen is my favourite food! I did had twelve bowls once," Naruto casually added. "WHAT?!" Everyone asked in disbelief.

"Gee Why are you guys so acted up?" Naruto asked as he starts to feel out of place, slightly reminding him of hs childhood. 

"Um..well it's just that a person wouldn't really need to eat that much," replied Fluttershy.

"I guess this world doesn't have that much heavy eaters?"Naruto asked to himself. 

"Well I really can eat all of this, belive it!" He holds out his fist smiling.

"That's one heck of a meal Naruto, are ya sure you can eat it all?" Applejack asked with slight concern. 

"Yeah Of course I can! dont even worry about it AJ!" Naruto happily replied to the cowgirl.

This calmed her down a little bit. "Well alright, but if it's too much for yer stomach please don't hurl at the table," she added to which he would give a thumbs up.

"Alright let's eat!" Naruto joyfully shouted as he takes his first bowl and wildly slurps his dish and everyone watches on astonished. 

"Look at him go!" Rainbow dash shouted.

"Go is the go to word for vegies and noodles!" Pinkie randomly said making Naruto pause his eating. 

"Huh?"

"Oh, It's just that go is the go go go!" Pinkie replied which only confused the blonde more.

Naruto was more confused than ever. "I don't get it!" He whined.

"She's just super random Naruto but you'll get used to it," Applejack explained as she remembered the things Pinkie would say and grab out of nowhere.

"She's sooo random it took me a week to get used to her," Rainbow commented gaining a laugh from everyone.

Naruto snickered. "I guess your randomness is something I can't beat you at Pinkie,"

"It's something no one can beat," Flash joked making Twilight giggle. "Good one Flash,"

"Glad I can make you laugh Twi," he said wrapping an arm around her, deepening the red flush on her cheeks but smiled and nuzzled on his shoulder.

Naruto resumes his rambunctious eating as he takes in the strings of broth while loudly slurping. "Hey are you girls a team?" Naruto asked while still eating causing trails of soup to spill out.

"EEEEWWW!" Rarity screamed as she avoided the soup droplets. 

"Naruto! Fer goodness sake You really need table manners!" Applejack yelled as she wiped the trails of soup from her shirt.

"Hehe..whoops," he replied sheepishly. "Well anyway are you girls a team or something?"

Twilight tries to explain "Well were actually a band called-"

"THE RAINBOOMS!" Rainbow continued. "No scratch that...We're the super awesome RAINBOOMS!" 

"You guys are a band?...THAT'S SO COOL!!" Naruto squealed with sparkling eyes.

"REALLY COOL!" Rainbow corrected the blonde.

"He hasn't seen our band perform yet but he's already hooked!" giggled Applejack as Rainbow excitedly tells Naruto more about the band.

Naruto listens on to the girls story about their band while he finishes the soup of his first bowl. "Woah!..so three evil girls that feed on emotion actually hosted a battle of the bands?!"

"It was supposed to be an upcoming school musical," Fluttershy explained.

"Hehe and they're called the Dazzlings?" Naruto lightly laughed. "And I thought Team Kakashi was a dumb name," Naruto commented.

The particular team name got AJ's curiosity "What in tarnation is that?"

"It's my old team but right now I kinda wanna know more about these Dazzlings," Naruto replied with a smirk.

"Well moving on the Dazzlings actually feed on negative emotions to control others trough their singing," Twilight explained.

"So their singing makes people weird...Like Sirens!" Naruto exclaimed as he remembers Kakashi telling him scary stories about these things, which easily made him hide behind Sakura as he listened on

"Exactly," said Twilight.

Applejack began giggling. "Fer a total goofball yer pretty smart Naruto," she teased.

"Hehe eeyup!" Naruto cheerfully replied. 

Applejack's lips quivered in a smile "He's so cute ah just wanna squeeze and stretch those whiskered cheeks!" She mentally squealed with a light blush.

"And the Dazzlings songs has kinda taken a toll on everyone's personality," Flash explained.

"Yeah! Everyone was acting all mean!" Pinkie exclaimed.

This made Flash remember that moment. "Yeah..including me," He said with a frown.

This made Naruto pause his slurping. "Whatddaya mean?" He asked.

"Well I was kinda under the spell too and because of that I started acting aggressive towards everyone....including Twilight," he stated as his frown deepens.

This caused an idea to pop on Naruto's head. "Then you started called her names like "acid tongue!" Or "a Hercule!" Or "Dork!" Am I close?" He suggested only to get whacked repeatedly by Applejack.

But to everyone's surprise Twilight giggled. "No it wasn't like that at all Naruto he just accused me of stealing the show from him" she calmly said. "And I'm not mad one bit," 
"And you weren't yourself so it's okay!" Pinkie assured him and everyone else supported her statement.

"Thanks you guys I mean that," Flash replied.

"Anytime Flash," Twilight said to him.

"But how did ya guys beat the Dazzlings?" Naruto asked while resuming his meal with his usual slurping.

"We sang so epic that they lost their ability to sing!" Rainbow dash bragged.

Naruto's eyes widend. "REALLY?!" 

"Well actually they sustain themselves with magic jewels and when we shattered it with our singing they can't sing anymore like how the sound waves can't propagate in a sealed area!" Twilight explained.

"Uuuhhhhhhhhhh..." Naruto mumbled, confused at her statement.

"Those Dazzling hermits are powered by magic jewels and that our singing shattered it," Applejack explained in a much more simplistic way.

"Oh! well why didn't ya say so?" Naruto asked.

Applejack lightly laughed at how he gets overwhelmed at detailed explanations while Twilight face palmed with a smile at his simplicity.

"What about you Sunset Shimmer? did something awesome happend to ya since your part of a band?" Naruto asked.

This made the redhead frown. "Well...I used to be the schools bully," she said sadly.

"Really?! What happened then? did ya had a lot of enemies back then?" Naruto asked Sunset.

"Y-yeah..pretty much," she replied. "I was so mean to everyone, I did a lot of things and I just kept using and using Flash....but thanks to Twilight and the others I was able to change my ways!" She said with her spirits up.

"No problem Sunset were just glad to get rid of that old you," said Applejack to which the others seconded.

"That kinda reminds me of Sasuke," Naruto commented.

"You mean your rival?" Rainbow asked.

"Yeah," Naruto replied. "He..was also sort of a bully..and with that weird "smile"..!" he stated, intimidated as he remembered that disturbing and maniacal smile of his that would always give him the shivers.






"What kind of smile was it?" Applejack asked.

"Was it a happy smile? huh, huh, huh?!" Pinkie asked as she popped in front of Naruto's face.

This gave Naruto an idea for his ultimate prank and hides under the table much to everyone's confusion. "Weelll..it was something like...THIS!" Naruto rises from the floor, perfectly imitating Sasuke's maniacal grin.

His jumpscare made the girls shriek in horror and because Applejack had the closest view she slapped him out of fear while Fluttershy and Rarity nearly fainted with shrunken eyes, Flash only chuckled and Rainbow bursted out laughing.

"Owww...what was that for?" Naruto asked while rubbing the crimson handprint on his cheek.

"Don't scare me like that again!!" Applejack yelled. "Great! Now yer cheek is all ruined!" She added.

"Naruto! That was so rude of you!" Rarity shouted while helping Fluttershy recovering from the shock.

Naruto smiled at his pranks success. "Hehehe...well moving on, I was able to get him out of his bad shell thanks to the power of bonds!" He declared which puts a confused look on Twilight.

"Bonds?...I think you mean the power of friendship," she corrected.

"I think they're pretty much the same thing," Naruto replied to which she agrees to.

The girls then watch on as Naruto continued eating large amounts of Ramen from the six large bowls once again astonishing everyone.

"H-how wide is his stomach?" Twilight asked dumbfounded.

"I think it's about as wide as your intelligence," Flash teased making her smile and gave him a light punch on his shoulder.

"Ahhh! That was sooo good!" Naruto shouted. "Next one!"

"Your still not full?!" Sunset asked, baffled at how far Naruto can go. "I guess it's called a ninja stomach," she sighed with a smile.

"Hehe I'm the best eater there is!" Naruto bragged.

"Oh yeah?! well I'm the captain Canterlot High's sports team and I challenge you to a Ramen race!" Rainbow shouted with a smirk.

"Heh! you're on Rainbow!" Naruto smirked back and fortunately there's two more bowls left. Naruto takes one bowl and gives the other to Rainbow.

''Alright here are the rules: Were gonna be eating it while doing a handstand!" Rainbow said with a wide smile.

"Okay bring it on!" Naruto happily said. The two then uses their left arm to stand on their table while the right would hold the chopsticks.

"GO!!" both of them yelled as they started eating and everyone cheered on.

"Oh my! P-please be careful you two!" Said a worried Fluttershy while Applejack face palmed at the race.
> A lesson in music
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto and Rainbow continues to eat their ramen while still hand standing on the table and everyone watches on. The two rivals would also bicker while they were eating.

Rainbow was almost finished with her bowl. "Almost there!"

"I'm the one who's gonna WIN!!" Naruto shouted.

"No I WILL!" Rainbow countered as the eating gets wilder to the point where soup rains out of their mouths.

Applejack tilts her hat forward to protect herself from the shower of soup. "Geez..where did Naruto got that energy? He's a lot wilder than Apple bloom when she's in "hanging out with her friends" mode," she commented.

"But despite his rowdy way of eating his charisma is rather unique, just like his outfit!" Rarity said as she adds the finishing colors to her drawing of Naruto's tracksuit. 

"Ah guess so," Applejack replied smiling. "But it's not just that Rare, Naruto's like a nine year old stuck in a man's body," she added snickering. 

However Rarity spots faint red circles on the cowgirls cheeks. "Oh my, has Applejack finally found her crush?" She teased.

"W-what?! N-no! Ah just think he's an annoying idiot, End of story!" Applejack replied with her blush increased drastically which made the seamstress giggle.

"Your skills at lying truly are horrendous Applejack," Rarity teased again as the blonde rubbed her cheeks pouting. "If you don't like him how come your cheeks are red?" She added.

"They're not red!" Applejack comedically yelled before sighing. "Okay..maybe just a little," she admitted.

This made Rarity titter again before returning to her drawing. "Hmm...Maybe I should add some variants on the color?" She thought.

Meanwhile Naruto and Rainbows race comes to a close as they stood back to their feet. 

"Heh I won!" Naruto shouted whole stretching his arms out.

"In your dreams whiskers I won!" Rainbow countered with a smirk.

"Me!"

"Me!"

"Me times two!"

"Me times infinite!"

The two continues to bicker until twilight intervenes. "Wait! Your bowls still have some soup left so how about whoever has the least amount of soup is the loser," she suggested since there's still mere inches of soup left to which they agreed on.

Twilight then grabs a small ruler from her pocket and measures the amount of soup with her keen eye. Half a minute later she was done.

"So who won?! Who won?!" Naruto eagerly asked.

"Yeah who?!" Rainbow seconded.

"Nobody won, both amounts are the same," Twilight replied.

It took a second for Naruto to get the picture. "E-EEhhhhhhhh?!"

"T-then it's a tie?!" Rainbow asked.

"Eeyup," Twilight replied as she went back to her seat. "But I think you guys are lucky because when you always win you'll won't even think about improving your tactics," Twilight explained.

"Mmmm...I don't think "lucky" is the right term when you lose," Naruto whined while scratching his cheek.

"I know right," Rainbow replied.

"But she's kinda right you two," Applejack stated. "Ah mean think about it when you lose you'll learn where you messed up so that y'all can fix it in a lickety split," She further explained.

"Guess your right about that one," Naruto and Rainbow said simultaneously causing them to 'jinx' each other.

Pinkie pie suddenly pops in front of them. "And the Naruto-Rainbow rival score is now tied to 1!" 

"Hehe! This is gonna be fun!" Naruto said as he and Rainbow high-fived.

"Yeah! And I'm gonna have the highest score!" Rainbow declared.

"Heh! We'll see about that!" Naruto smirked. "Oh by the way Pinkie can I have some of that cake?" He added.

"YOU'RE STILL NOT FULL?!" Everyone asked in disbelief.

--------------------------------------------
After a minute of cake and ramen Naruto's bottomless stomach was finally content. "Ahhhhh that was good!"

But Applejack's wallet was almost empty since she payed most of his meal. "Ah really need to stop being in charge of the bill," she sighed.

This made Naruto laugh nervously. "S-sorry about that AJ I'll bring my own cash next time," he said which brightened her up a little.

"Well you better cause ah'm not yer personal ATM," she replied.

This made Naruto confused. "ATM? does it mean Alien Tank Monster?" 

"No it means Automated teller machine," Twilight explained. "Why did you asked? have you ever seen one before?"

"Wait do ninjas even use an ATM?" Pinkie and Rainbow asked.

Naruto began sweating. "Me and my big mouth," he mentally murmured before breaking off his trance. "Y-yeah of course we do, I just didn't know what it meant,"

Suddenly Rainbow remembered something. "Hey Naruto there's still time for you to play that guitar!" she screamed.

This caused Naruto rises from his seat. "Alright guys lets get back to the uhhh..what was that room again?" This made everyone collapse in disbelief at his forgetfulness. 

"The Band room!" they all yelled.

Flash then gets up from his seat. "Well i need to get back with my band so guess i'll be seeing ya guys," he waved.

"See ya later Flash!" Naruto replied as he and the girls waved back .
-----------------------------------------------

Everyone was now back at the band room as Naruto rushes towards his guitar. "There you are!"

"Alright play it now!" Rainbow excitedly screamed.

Naruto raises his arm up. "Here it goes!" He swings his arm downward and rushes his finger nails on the strings but it did not let out a single tune. "Hey what gives?" Naruto continues to mash his nails on the strings but to no avail.

"Is this thing broken?" Naruto asked as he shakes the instrument but the hears Applejack giggling. "Hehe I really suck do I?" He said sheepishly.

"It's okay Naruto we'll teach ya," Applejack replied.

"We will?" Asked Rainbow dash.

"Nah, just play with yer own instruments while I grow Naruto's pea sized brain," Applejack teased which made him pout in embarrassment but quickly got over it .

"Thanks a lot AJ you're the best!" Naruto happily said as the others went to their perspective instruments.

"So what's wrong with this thing Applejack?" Naruto asked, gesturing at his guitar.

"The problem ain't the guitar Naruto, the problem is you," Applejack explained.

"Eh?"

This made her sigh. "This is gonna be complicated," she murmured as she grabbed her bass guitar. "Ya need to get yer fingers to swing correctly like this," Applejack demonstrated him the correct finger movement and plays the strings accurately but she immediately enjoys her music to the point where the tune gets wild and intense.

 


"Uhh Applejack?" Naruto called out but was futile as she was lost in her musical trance.

"We're the RAINBOOMS!" Applejack yelled as she continues to make the music louder and remembers the battle of the bands.

"Applejack?" His words fall on deaf ears again.

"Nothin's gonna get in our way!!"

"APPLEJACK!" Naruto yelled, finally breaking her of the musical trance.

Realizing what she just did Applejack shook her head. "Woah, sorry 'bout that Naruto got a little overboard there,"

"Hehe it's okay but I almost memorized the way you moved you fingers so is it okay if you do it again?" Naruto asked to which she complied as she repeats the same pattern of her fingers on the strings.

"Oh like this?" Naruto imitates Applejack's finger movement thus allowing the guitar to let out pitch but was rather faint.

"Naruto yer doing it too hard like way too hard, that's why you can't let out a single pitch," AJ explained to the inexperienced guitarist. "Also your other set of fingers should hold down the ends of the strings to make the pitch perfect," she added.

The young ninja then repositions his fingers. "This the Rasengan all over again!" He mentally whined as he still fails to make a perfect pitch. "Agh why isn't it working? I got it on the first try earlier!"

Applejack then stood right next to him. "How 'bout I hold down the ends of the strings while you run down yer fingers?" She suggested.

"That could work!" He cheerfully replied as she holds down the different ends of the strings.

"But don't run the strings too hard," Applejack reminded to which he nods at.

"Here goes nothing!" Naruto then swings his fingernails onto the strings which finally lets out a pitch. "H-hey it worked!" He then continues the same finger movement thus intensifying the pitch.

"Now can ya do it without my help?" Applejack asked.

Naruto then puts out an unsure face. "Hmm...I guess I'll try,"

This made Applejack concerned. "Ya don't seem so sure sugarcube," 

Naruto then laughs sheepishly while scratching the back of his head. "It's just that I really appreciate the help that you've done for me ya know," 

"Of course I'll help you out Naruto, whenever someone needs help you step in and give that person a hand," Applejack explained which made him smile and chuckle. "But can you now play that guitar yer own?"

Naruto then raised up his arm and repositions the fingers holding down the strings, remembering how AJ did it. "I guess well find out," he then swings down his arm as his nails once again disturbs the metal wires, unleashing the same pitch from when Naruto fist played the guitar.

"H-hey..I did it!" Naruto shouted as Applejack stood in front of him and grabbed his hands.

"You finally did it Naruto!" She joyfully shouted as they shared a laugh together. A few seconds later Applejack realized that her hands were still in contact with Naruto's and quickly retracted them with ignited cheeks.

Naruto raised an eyebrow at this, oblivious to the cowgirls state of mind.

Suddenly Rainbow dash and the others rushed toward him. "You can finally play you guitar!" Rainbow shouted with excitement.

Naruto gives them a thumbs up. "I guess I'm officially an amateur!" 

"Yeah you are!" Rainbow replied smiling. 

"Hey let's all play our instruments together!" Pinkie suggested.

"That's a great idea Pinkie," said Twilight as the others agreed.

"Well let's go while we still have the time!" Naruto and Rainbow shouted causing them to 'jinx' each other again.

"Ha! I jinxed you first so you owe me a soda!" Rainbow declared.

"Heh! I jinxed you first so you owe me ten bowls of ramen!" Naruto countered.

"I won!"

"No I won!!"

"Me!"

"Me!"

"Me!!"

"Me!!"

The two would comedically bicker again as the girls laughed nervously while Applejack sighed and facepalmed but giggled. "Idiots,"
> Fun in the playground
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto and the Rainbooms got on the stage and are now ready to play their music. 

"Alright let's do this!" Shouted Rainbow as she grabs her guitar.

"Remember to hold down the strings Naruto, ya hear?" Applejack reminded the blonde.

"Roger!" Naruto replied with his usual grin as he stood next to the group and soon enough Pinkie starts to tap her drumsticks.

"One, two, three, GO!" Pinkie shouted as everyone began playing their instruments. At first the rhythm was scattered and off but the group managed to fix it.

"This is really fun!" Naruto shouted.

"Darn right it is!" Applejack replied as the music continues on.  

After several minutes of rock 'n' roll they stopped with exhausted hands and fingers but a certain blonde had a little worse. "Ahhh! My fingers! There almost jammed!" Naruto yelled as he looks at his now red and wounded fingers.

"Ah told ya not to do it too hard Naruto!" Applejack scolded but quickly sighed with a concerned look. "Lemme take a look at yer fingers sugarcube," 

While the rest of the girls placed their instruments back at their perspective places Applejack and Naruto sat on the stage as she examines his fingers. "Hmmm...it's not all that bad but it still needs some patching," 

She then digs into her pocket and let's out a long bandage and wraps it around Naruto's fingers as a light blush formed on his face from her tender touch.

"Ow,Ow!" Naruto yelped as Applejack tightened the bandage.

"Aaanndd done!"

Naruto then looks at his right hand where the fingers and the rest of the hand were now coated in bandages. "Thanks Applejack you really helped me a lot ya know!" He said smiling.

"No problem sugarcube!" Applejack replied as the two shared a laugh together, enjoying their company as the rest of the girls approached the two.

Fluttershy was the first who stepped forward. "U-um Naruto w-we would like to tell you something,"

"Sure Fluttershy what is it?"

She was about to respond but Pinkie steps in. "We want you to become part of the Rainbooms!!"

This made Naruto a bit baffled. "E-eh..for real?"

"Yeah! And having a ninja in the group is really interesting," said Sunset.

"Not just interesting, it's really awesome!" Rainbow added as not only does she have a ninja for a rival but she'll get him as a band member as well.

"And this gives me the opportunity to make copies of your outfit right now!" Rarity squealed.

"This might even prove how ninjas can become great musicians!" Twilight seconded.

The girls continue to shriek over the possibilities until Naruto puts up a nervous face. "Uhhh But don't ya think your group is now...crowded enough?" He asked as he nervously rubs his hands.

"The more the merrier silly!" Pinkie said as she grabs his shoulders and shakes him.

"Were gonna be the ultimate band!" Added Rainbow.

Though Naruto was still a bit hesitant. "Hmmm...I don't know," 

"Ah fer one think that you make a great addition Naruto," said Applejack.

Naruto still didn't know what to decide but was still very interested. "I guess I'll think about it," 

This made the girls pout in disappointment but they nodded, understanding his predicament since he pretty much just met them but they really wish for him to join them.

The then hear the bell ring throughout the school. "Let's get back to class you guys," Twilight said as she opened the door with the others following.

----------------------------------------------

Later in the classroom all of the students listened to the teachers lecture though Naruto still had a hint of distraction on his face.

Applejack saw this and became a little concerned. "You alright there Naruto? You look a little distant," She said as he placed her hand on his shoulder.

"Y-yeah i was just thinking of...stuff," he replied.

"Yer thinking about the band aren't ya?" She guessed to which he nods at.

"Yeah I mean I just met you guys and you already want me on your club," Naruto said with a sheepish smile.

"Band! it's a band," Applejack reminded him. "And of course we want you to join yer a ninja! And this is a one and a life time opportunity! " She said with her features brightened.

"Gee are ninjas really that rare in this world?" He asked to himself. 

"And like Pinkie Pie said "the more the merrier" right?" Applejack added.

"Yeah I guess so!" Naruto lightly laughed.

After a few more hours the school day was now finished as the all of the students exit the school with Naruto and the girls not far behind with their bags.

"Ahhhhh! I'm soooo tired!" Naruto whined as he stretched out his arms.

"Your telling me," Rainbow said as she rubs her back and prepares to go home. "Well I gotta get back home to finish my home work. See ya Naruto!" 

"Yeah see ya Rainbow!" Naruto said as he and the others wave her off. "What about you guys?" He asked the other girls.

"Well I gotta get back to my place so I can finish my homework in a lickety split!" Pinkie said as she walks off with Sunset not far behind but not before waving the others off. "Bye Naruto! Bye girls!"

"By Pinkie! Bye Sunset!" Naruto waved back.

"Goodbye darlings! I need to get back at my boutique for I have a new line up in mind," Rarity said as she smirks at Naruto's tracksuit and waves everyone off.

"Um... well I need to visit the animal shelter before I head back to my home," said Fluttershy. "Bye everyone,"

Naruto and the others waved her off. "Bye Fluttershy!" 

As the yellow girl walks in the distance Naruto needed a snack and a place to sleep. "Well I need to um...go grab a snack see ya guys,"

"I see well bye Naruto!" Twilight greeted him off.

"Take care out there ya idiot," Applejack teased to which he laughed at as he walks off in the distance and waves them off. Several seconds later Applebloom rushes towards her sister. 

"Let's go big sis! Oh hey there miss Twilight," the young girl greeted.

"Hey there Applebloom," Twilight greeted back as she looks at the orange tinted sky. "Hey you two should get going, it's getting late,"

Applejack places her hand on her sisters head before greeting off the lavender girl. "Well ah guess ah'll bee seeing you off now Twi,"

"Yeah take care you two!" She said as she waves off the two siblings. A few seconds later she sees Flash approaching her, making her blush.

"H-hey there Flash!" Twilight greeted.

"Hey there Twily!" Flash cheerfully replied which increased Twilight's blush as she was only used to hearing that nickname from her brother.

In the distance Flash sees a certain blonde. "Hey isn't that Naruto?"

Twilight nodded. "Yeah he is and he's quite the person huh?" 

"Yeah and his idiocy is something you'll instantly notice about him," Flash said. "And I think he can beat anyone when it come to foolishness," he joked which made her giggle.

After seconds of awkward silence Twilight speaks up. "Hey uh..Flash can I stay at your place for a while?...if that's um okay with you?" She asked with her face tomato red.

Flash was silent with surprise for several seconds which began to make Twilight laugh nervously. "I-it's okay i knew you'll turn down the offer anyway so I'll just get back to the library and-"

"What? N-no I was just surprised that's all," Flash said before clearing his throat and dons a bright smile. "And yeah of course you can stay with me Twilight, you can stay with me for as long as you want!"

This made the lavender girl don a wide smile with her violet eyes sparkling. "R-really?! I-I'll wont be dead weight in there will I?"

This made him snicker. "No Twilight of course not, and besides I sorta need a partner at my board games," Flash stated and suddenly Twilight rushed towards him and pulled him in a tight embrace.

"Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!" Twilight joyfully said as she planted a huge kiss on his cheek which made him blush and sheepishly laugh.

"Well shall we be off princess?" Flash asked as he extends his hand.

Twilight's cheeks burned but smiled as she took his hand and walks off with him talking about more facts about the blonde ninja they just met.

--------------------------------------

The sun has now settled more giving a purple tint on the sky with the setting sun in the distance.

Meanwhile Naruto has bought himself some snacks and drinks from a convenience store using his remaining change and tries to find a place to sleep. After a few minutes he finds a small hotel. "Jackpot!" He shouted as he runs towards inside but sees a small sign next to the main door.

One night: 300$

"EEEEhhhhhhhh?!" Naruto shouted in disbelief. "Great where am I supposed to sleep?" He asked as he runs his hand through his hair.

"How about just sleep on a bench? It will make you look even more of an idiot than that comic guy with the straw hat," Kurama laughed much to the blonde's annoyance.

"Shaddup stupid Kurama!"

"Well you got any better ideas?" the kitsune asked.

Naruto then looks at the purple sky thinking about his predicament. "I guess sleeping on the bench wouldn't hurt," he muttered as he heads to a local park and looks at the sign.

Canterlot park

There were still some people hanging out in the vicinity with many trees and illuminated lamp posts. "Woah! This place is kinda epic!"

Naruto then spots the parks large playground and with a wide grin he rushes at the area while leaving his bag on the side and plays around. He would ride on the high slides, climb and swing on the ladders, ropes and slanted walls and monkey bars but in an athletic fashion.

"Naruto? What in tarnation are you doing here?!" Naruto turns to the source and sees Applejack and Apple Bloom.

"Oh hey there Applejack!" Naruto greeted before turning to the little girl next to her. "Hey you're that kid from earlier right? Apple uhh..."

"It's Apple Bloom mister Naruto!" The redhead cheerfully reminded.

"Well anyway what are you doing here Naruto? It's really late," AJ asked.

"Oh uhhh just playing around," Naruto said with a fake smile in an attempt to hide the true reason but Applejack was able to see right though it though normally she would question him now but decided to do it later. "But what about you? What are you doing here?" Naruto asked.

"It's Apple Bloom, she really wants to play here 'cause apparently she had a boring day," Applejack explained.

And soon enough Apple Bloom pops in front of the ninja. "Hey let's play Naruto!" She suggested with a wide smile.

"Sure lets go!" Naruto smiled back.

In the next several minutes Naruto and Apple Bloom were playing in the playground with both of them cheerfully laughing. Applejack on the other hand was sitting on the swing watching to two goof around.

"Hey Applejack! C'mon join in!" Naruto said as he approached her but she kindly turned down the offer.

"Naruto ah'm not a kid anymore,"

"So what? You can't let age stop you from having fun ya know!" Naruto explained to her.

But Applejack still refused. "Sorry Naruto but ah'm not gonna embarrass mah'self just so you can prove a point,"

This made Naruto frown at her stubbornness but an idea came to his head. "Well AJ if yer not gonna have fun then I'll make you have fun!" Naruto said with a devil like smile as he pulls up her swing and gives it a strong push causing her to yelp in surprise.

"Woah! Wooaahh!  N-naruto! What are you doing?! Stooppp!" Applejack yelled but was futile as Naruto kept on pushing her swing with each push getting stronger by the second.

Naruto on the other hand was laughing in amusement at her screaming. "Not until you play with us!"

"Never!" She countered but this only promoted him to intensify his push causing her to gain much more altitude. "Woooahh!"

Apple Bloom then joins in and takes turn with Naruto in pushing her sisters swing. Eventually Applejack's terrified screams turned to joyfull laughs to the point of tears as she enjoys the ride.

"So will you play with us now?" Naruto asked as he stops her swing.

Applejack thought about it and nods. "O-okay ah'll try," she said as she wipes her tears of joy and with that the trio starts off with hide and seek with Naruto being the it.

With his countdown finished Naruto began searching for them for several minutes but his unable to find them. "Agh! Where are they!" Naruto screamed as he pulls his spiky locks of hair.

After several more minutes of searching he gives up. "I give up! You guys can come out now!" He then hears a one on a large bush behind him where the Apple siblings emerged.

"Gee Naruto we were right behind you but ya just keep runnin in circles," Applejack said while laughing.

"Ah think its because ya kept using yer mouth instead of yer eyes!" Laughed Apple Bloom.

This made him turn around with pout and his arms crossed, feelings hurt.

Applejack now felt dumb and guilty because of this but she had an idea on what might brighten him up. She walks toward him and pulls him in the most caring hug she could offer with her cheeks red as Apple Bloom's hair

"Sorry 'bout that Naruto we didn't mean to hurt yer feelings like that okay?" She said as she tightened her embrace on the blonde as she felt him hug her back.

Naruto the spoke. "You..didn't have to do that ya know," this made AJ baffled as she looks at him and to her surprise he was smiling.

"Wait ah thought you were hurt back there,"

This made Naruto snicker. "I was just doing that to make you fell guilty and I didn't expect it to go this far,"

This drastically increased her blush. "W-what?" She just embarrassed herself. "Oh horse Apples!" She yelled as he stomps her boot on the ground with Naruto and Apple Bloom watching on.

"Your sister sure is somethin," Naruto commented.

"Ain't she?" Apple Bloom giggled.

The next game was Tag with Applejack being the it and sure enough her sister and Naruto were running at full power as she was rather fast for a girl in boots.

Several seconds later AJ slammed her hand on Naruto's back. "Tag!" 

Naruto was now it and began chasing the two Apples for another several minutes. Half a minute later Apple Bloom took a break to catch her breath.

Naruto was now getting close to Applejack and with most of his stamina depleted he knew he only had one shot.

He extends out his arm while screaming at the top of his lungs but she easily evaded it with a simple step to the side. Now completely exhausted Naruto's legs gave up. "That's it f-for the game night ya kknnnowww," 

He proceeds to crash on the grass but Applejack was able to catch him as she settles down on the grass with her knees while letting Naruto's head rest on her lap.

Naruto was panting heavily while Applejack smiled in amusement with her cheeks glowing pink. "Ya just got beat by a girl," she bragged.

This made his lips quiver in a smile. "Hehe..guess so," 

However he did something unexpected as he begins to gently rubs his left palm against her warm cheek which made the cowgirls blush grow hotter by the second but eventually she gave in and nuzzled on his hand enjoying the sensation.

But suddenly Naruto slammed his bandaged hand on her shoulder. "Tag! your it!" He said as he quickly runs off.

"What?!! Oh yer so gonna pay fer that you no good nut brain!!" Applejack yelled as she runs after him with her sister watching on laughing.

> To the farm!
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The trio's game of tag continues on with Naruto once again the it. "Ahh not again!"

Applejack laughed uncontrollably. "Ya really suck at this Naruto! How often do ya play this game?"

"Ehehe...I wasn't really good at tag," Naruto said bashfully as he scratches his head and lies down on the grass. "But maaann I'm really beat!"

"Ah'm just gonna go to the batroom!" Said Apple Bloom as she runs off to find the nearest restroom leaving the two blondes behind.

Naruto then sats up looking at the stars of the darkend sky. "Man I wonder how the others are doing back there? I-I know I have my duplicate out there and the girls and Kurama are here for me but...I miss them..I miss them so much....but if there's really no way back then I guess I'll just need to do some adjusting and settle in here " he thought to himself sighing.

Applejack then sat next to him. "Hey Naruto?"

"Yeah?"

"Tell me the truth," she said which made his eyes widen in surprise.

"D-does she know that I'm homeless? Well i used to have home," he mentally stated but AJ broke off his trance by waving her hand at his eyes. "W-what was that AJ?"

Applejack's face became slightly more stern. "Do ya got corks in yer ears? Ah said tell me the truth," 

Naruto then tilts his head to the side. "What truth?" Though his attempt to hide the truth failed as her face just got more serious.

"Why were ya really at the park?" She asked which made him nervous.

Naruto slightly becomes scared at her stern face. "W-what do ya mean Applejack? I said I just wanted to play around here and-"

"Don't lie tah me Naruto!" She shouted before taking a deep breath. "Please...tell me the truth why were ya really here?"

At this point Naruto was putting a nervous smile while attempting tell her about his predicament. "Well you see I uh...."

"Don't break off! Tell me,"

"Well um...I kinda just moved here and uh.."

That last statement made Applejack slightly confused. "Whataya mean there Naruto? don't cha live with yer parents?"

That question made Naruto don sad smile. "I-I don't have any...there dead,"

Applejack's eyes widened as she placed a hand on her mouth with her face changing from stern to sad. "Naruto..ah..ah'm so sorry about that,"

"Nah it's alight Applejack! Don't worry about it so-" he was cut off as AJ slapped his shoulder..

"How could ya say that Naruto? How can you be so casual about it? Don't ya ever miss them?" She asked.

Naruto still had that sad smile on his face but placed his hands on her shoulders. "The truth is that I still really missed them Applejack but I know that they really loved me from the bottom of their hearts!" He said with his smile lifted from the saddnes.

And sure enough this brightened her up. "Ah'm gad y'all were able to find that out Naruto," She smiled. "But ah'm really sorry fer bugging yer personal space there,"

"It's okay AJ..but anyway I just kinda moved here and I haven't found myself a home yet so I'm sorta sleeping on the bench for tonight," 

Applejack got shocked at first but dons a determined smile. "Well why didn't ya say so Naruto? Yer welcome to stay at my place fer as long as ya like!"

"R-really I-I don't wanna impose or anything," Naruto said defensively.

"It's okay Naruto now c'mon let's get Apple Bloom and get y'all settled!" Applejack said with a smile.

But Naruto was hesitant with her decision. "I don't know AJ I mean you've helped out at lot today and I haven't even repaid those things you did for me ya know,"

"Naruto ah told you that ya owe me nothin and this ain't different from the other times ah helped ya out, now c'mon ah insist!" she said as she helped him up.

"Are you sure about this? I hope things don't get awkward because of me," 

"Don't worry about it Naruto! And being the idiot you are ah'm sure they'll love you!" Applejack said while patting his shoulder with a playful smile.

"Hehe..guess you're right 'bout that!" Naruto said with the same smile as he scratches his cheek.

Apple Bloom then arrives back to the two blondes. "Sorry for the wait there Applejack the line was huge!" She said panting.

"Apple Bloom, Naruto here just recently moved here and he needs a place to stay so ah offered him to stay at our farm!" Applejack explained as she placed her hands on her waist.

This made the redhead pop in front of Naruto with a smile so huge it could mirror Pinkie's. "REALLY?!"

"Ehehe yup! But it's kinda your sisters idea Apple Bloom," Naruto replied.

Apple Bloom began running around squealing. "We have a guest! We have a guest!! Oh and mah sister told me you were a ninja!" She told Naruto. "Let's play ninja back at our home!"

Naruto was about to reply but his stomach loudly rumbles making him blush with embarrassment. "Okay! But first I need to get some ramen at the store," he said as he leaped and dashes forth.

"Woah! Did ya see him made that leap?!" Apple Bloom watched in awe.

"Well they don't call him "ninja" fer nothin," Applejack snickered.

Minuted later Naruto returned. "Okay let's go!" He said as he points at the far distance and marches towards the side walk with Apple Bloom doing the same march.

Applejack's eye twitched at how far Naruto's childish excitement can go, then again that was the biggest part of his charisma. They then stopped here the edge of the side walk but Naruto keeps on going promoting AJ to call him out.

"Hey Naruto! Where ya goin?! Were watin fer a taxi here!" 

Naruto went back to them and quirked an eyebrow. "What in the name of ichiraku is a taxi?" he asked to himself with a shrug and decided to wait and see.

Minutes later a taxi arrives but as Applejack opened the door he spots Naruto gawking at the vehicle running around it with his mouth agape.

"These are like the rickshaws back at home only there a lot more futuristic!!" he mentally noted before opening the door with Apple Bloom on the front seat as her sister tells the driver their destiny.

During the trip Naruto would listen to the radio still bearing his wide grin. The radio would eventually resort to classic music from the 90's something that would usually make Rainbow Dash drown in boredom.

Naruto would then rest his elbow at the edge of the door while his cheek would rest on his palm. "Gee...what a day! I ended the war but it cost me my world residence and now I'm in a new one....hehe that duplicate better not mess up or I'll-" Naruto's mental talking was interrupted when he hears some humor on the radio.

"Aaanndd welcome back to quiz mania!" the host yelled.

"Oh! Ah love this one!" Apple Bloom said as she turns up the volume and Naruto would lean forward to listen in.

"Alright Michael here's your question: what kind of weapon is a black diamond shaped dagger with the handle wrapped in bandages with a ring at the end?" he asked to the contestant and judging from his mumbling he wasn't very bright.

"A mini spear!" He answered only for the buzzer to go off signifying his mistake and Naruto began laughing in disbelief.

"Ya know the answer?" Applejack asked.

Naruto then faced his blue eyes into her green ones. "Yeah! It's actually a type of ninja weapon a-"

"Kunai! Kunai was the correct answer! But as for penalty Michael you will get the pie!" the host declared as the Naruto and the two apples heard a barrage of pies being thrown onto the contestant who pretty much enjoyed it.

The trio and the driver were laughing hysterically at this. "What else is on that thing?" Naruto asked to Apple Bloom so she pressed the radio button and finds another station as they heard the host snickering.

"Hey what would a banana say when his peel was removed?...I find this form very appeling!!" he said as he bursted out in laughter.

Though the driver and it's passengers only had blank stares. "Lame," they bluntly said together.

Naruto would then grin. "Heh! I can do better than that! Ok what would a bear say when he makes a table?...I built it with my BEAR hands!" He said as he drowns in his guffaws while Applejack loudly snickered with her sister giggling.

Several minutes later they were now at their destination and at the moment he exited the taxi Naruto's eyes would slightly widen at Applejack's home.

It was a large red house that had a purple roof and right next to it was a red barn that was slightly shorter that the house itself and many apple trees would also surround the vicinity staying true to its namesake.

Apple Bloom would excitedly rush though the front door while Naruto became nervous. "A-are ya really sure about this Applejack?" He asked as he pulls onto his jackets collar to let the heat out.

This promoted Applejack to pat his shoulder and gave him a friendly wink. "A hundred percent!" 

This calmed him down a little but Naruto then grabs Applejack's hand making her blush madly form his touch. "But since this your idea you kinda need to be my escort ya know!"

"Y-yeah! O-of course ah will! After all what kind of a person would leave someone out in the cold?" Applejack replied as she forced out a smile to hide her flustered state.

"Hehe guess you're right! But right now let's go meet your family!" Naruto said while smiling cheerfully.
> Meeting the Apples: Use normal words!
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apple Bloom would excitedly rush though the front door while Naruto became nervous. "A-are ya really sure about this Applejack?" He asked as he pulls onto his jackets collar to let the heat out.

This promoted Applejack to pat his shoulder and gave him a friendly wink. "A hundred percent!"

This calmed him down a little but Naruto then grabs Applejack's hand making her blush madly form his touch. "But since this your idea you kinda need to be my escort ya know!"

"Y-yeah! O-of course ah will! After all what kind of a person would leave someone out in the cold?" Applejack replied as she forced out a smile to hide her flustered state.

"Hehe guess you're right! But right now let's go meet your family!" Naruto said while smiling cheerfully as they walked to the front door which he then opens.

Applebloom then rushes towards the blondes with two people behind her. The one on the left was an old woman with light green skin, light red eyes and white hair which was tied in a bun. She was wearing a pale yellow shirt with an orange cloth around her neck that had apple patterns and a long red skirt with a stained apron over it.

On the right was a male teenager that has light orange hair that flares out at the front with green eyes and freckles like Applejack. His outfit was an open red shirt with the upper part brown where the insignias consisted of sliced green apples with a white shirt underneath along with brown wrist bands, blue jeans where the tips are ragged with red and white sneakers.

"That's our guest you two!" Said Apple Bloom as Naruto puts up an awkward smile and tightens his grip on Applejack's hand making her realize that the idiot was getting nervous again.

"Everyone ah'd like y'all to meet Naruto! He's going to be our guest for a while since he just moved here," Applejack explained.

"W-well she was the one who insisted y-ya know," Naruto said as he bashfully scratches the back of his head but the old woman suddenly lunges towards him, gripping and stretching his whiskered cheeks.

"My aren't cha the cutest thing!" She cooed.

But Naruto was grunting from her grip. "Ow! Ow! Ow!!" Fortunately Applejack pulled her away.

"Owww..." Naruto moaned as he gently rubbed his cheeks. Apple Bloom then tugged his sleeve to get his attention.

"The old lady right there is Granny Smith and that guy on the right is Big McIntosh but you can just call'im Bic Mac!" She explained.

Naruto then waved at the two. "Nice to meet ya guys!"

"Well it's nice to meet you too little rascal!" Granny Smith cheerfully commented. "But now just settle down and get to know the family while ah prepare dinner!" She added as she walked in the kitchen while Naruto place his bag on the couch.

Applejack and Big Mac would then settle down on the living room and turns on the TV while Apple Bloom was playing ninja with Naruto with paper folded shurikens and daggers.

"Naruto! Enemy ninjas at one'o clock!" She whispered as they hid behind the recliner while pointing at their "enemies".

"Pony plushies for enemies? Though Hinata did had tons of those and she would play with them at the park." Naruto mentally chuckled.

"Alright Naruto here's the plan we need to-" Apple Bloom tries to explain her tactics but Naruto jumped from his hiding spot.

"Like I'd just sit here and wait! Bring it on you baby horse girl toys!" He shouted with a smile as he lunges at one of them and proceeds to Roll on the floor pretending that the plush is actually fighting back while Apple Bloom shrugged before joining in.

And a minute later the plushies were now tied up. "Heh! how do ya like me know?" Naruto bragged as he slams his fist into his palm.

"Look it's the boss!" Said Apple Bloom as she points at a rather large gorilla plush.

"Woah! Even King Kong exists here!" Naruto mentally squealed as he and Apple Bloom made it fall with a single kick.

With the "enemies" defeated Naruto and Apple Bloom shared a fist bump and a laugh together before they turned their attention to Big Mac.

Naruto then gave Big Mac a smile. "Hey there Mac! So uhh...we haven't really met before so uhh...ya like noddles?"

Mac turned his attention to the blonde. "Eeyup," he replied flatly.

Naruto felt a little awkward at his way of speech but continues on. "Well d-do ya like ninjas? C-cause I'm the most epic one!" He said as he points his thumb at his headband.

Big Mac one again gave him a blank stare as he bites on a green apple. "Eeyup," 

Naruto felt even more awkward at his lack of social skills. "Uhhh...do ya have anything else to say?" 

Mac shook his head. "Nope," 

Naruto's eye began twitching wildly in annoyance and wondered how he can make friends with such limited speech. "A-are you an annoying old geezer?"

"Nope,"

"Do you like chocolate?"

"Eeyup,"

"Ya know how to play a guitar?"

"Nope,"

Naruto began getting more annoyed by the second. "Gee what's with this guy?! Why can't he talk in full sentence?!!" 

Several questions later Naruto still couldn't get through as he screams and falls to the couch while griping his head. "Aaarrrrggghhhh!! You're like one of those annoying geezer's ya know!!"

Applejack sighed. "Now pipe down there Naruto, that's just Big Mac being..well Mac. He's usually like that all the time and yeah it can be a little annoying sometimes," she said with an embarrassed smile.

Naruto gave a light nod before getting up to face him again. "C-can ya speak a little more smoothly with easy, normal words?" He asked with his eye still twitching.

"Nope,"

Naruto couldn't even talk now as he had no idea what to do about him and let's out an angry sigh before asking one last question as he tilts his head to the side. "A-are you an alien or something?...I mean your super dignified but..."

Big Mac gave him a blank stare before opening his mouth to speak. "That's a bit too much dontcha think? An ailen seriously?" 

"..........eh?!"

Mac fails to notice Naruto's reaction and continues. "Well yeah ah'm super dignified but-" he cuts off as he notices the blondes shocked face. "Hm? Do you still fail to understand me? To think that conversation would pose such a complex challenge-" Naruto cuts him off.

"Oh no no no no! Keep talking like just now! I finally got ya! I was just shocked that your speaking style changed so drastically, ya know!"

Big Mac lets out a light smile. "Oh, for real? Then I shall keep going like this much pleased!"

"Uhhh..." Naruto murmured as his eye twitched again and nervously rubs his hands. "Uh yeah...but those words don't really match up with your face at all, so it's kinda super-scary," he said. "And he loses all dignity too!"

The blonde continues to rub his hands. "Y-you be a little less formal...otherwise you come off kind of dumb!"

This made the teen glare at him. "Now you're going too far, no? And whaddaya mean by dumb?!" He then quickly calms down. "Well considering how I was talking before I guess I can't blame you for that," he said.  "Well....how's this then?" He asked with a more less formal tone.

Naruto puts up a huge smile. "Yes! Right there! That's perfect!!"

Mac happily nodded. "Yeah, and ah'm getting the hang of it too!" He said while Naruto took a huge sigh of relief.

"*ssiiggh* I can finally talk to you, ya know!" Naruto snorted as he lays on the couch.

Applejack smiled while crossing her arms. "Who would've thought calling him somethin like that would get through him,"

"The times where he talks normally are kinda rare!" Said Apple Bloom as she sat on the edge of the couch. 

Naruto raised his eyebrows at this. "Why? Does he have a curse on his tounge or somethin?"

"What? No!" Applejack said with a stern face. "What makes ya think he has some darn curse on his tounge?"

Naruto frantically waved his arms defensively. "H-hey I'm not saying that he's not human!..I was just curious s-so calm down Applejack..." he said as his face began sweating with fear.

Applejack sighed which calmed her down. "Sorry 'bout that sugarcube it's just curses kinda creep me out," she sheepishly said.

"Really?! I'm also kinda scared of that stuff..especially scary stories, ya know!" Naruto said with an childish smile while scratching the back of his head.

"What else are ya afraid of?" Asked Apple Bloom.

"Well...I-I'm scared of rats," Naruto admitted promoting Apple Bloom to throw a rubber mouse at his face, causing him to shriek and crash on the floor while the Apple siblings laughed.

Naruto pouted for a second but spots a chicken feather and swiftly grabs it and proceds to tickle it under Apple Blooms nose making her laugh harder.

Naruto's grin grew wider as he continues to mercilessly tickle her and stopped half a minute later and sits up with his legs crossed.

"H-how did ya know that ah was ticklish under mah nose?" The redhead asked.

Naruto then closed his eyes and placed his fingers on his chin trying to think of something. "Mmmmm...I didn't really knew...I just kinda guessed it, ya know,"

Suddenly he remembers a certain memory. "Hey Applejack, Pinkie said that you and Rainbow used to be enemies why?" He eagerly asked as he quickly edged closer to her. "Did she punched ya? Barraged ya with soccer balls? Super brutal training? Jammed your guitar? Gave ya the ultimate prank? Lost a game to ya? Pushed you on the well-"

Applejack cuts him off as she whacks his head with her fist steaming while a large pink lump grew on Naruto's head. "Don't ask so many questions darn it!!" She quickly took a deep breath and calms down.

"Owwww..." Naruto moaned. "But was I close?"

The Cowgirl smirked. "Not even close," she said before frowning. "It's just that Rainbow and her team didn't showed up at mah bake sale as they promised,"

Naruto's eyes widen. "Y-you two were bitter...because of a bake sale?!" 

"It's just not some random bake sale Naruto!" Applejack countered. "Well it was more like the grand opening fer our delicious apple pies,"

Naruto then formed a light smile. "And lemme guess Rainbows team was supposed to help ya with the opening and be their first customers right," 

Applejack smiled faintly. "Guess ya do have a smart side after all..but yeah it was sorta like that but in the end we got everything was fixed,"

"All that for a bake sale.....g-girls are scary..." He whispered with his eyes still widened in shock but Applejack easily heard him and playfully gave him a light slap.

"Owwww" Naruto muttered sarcastically.

Applejack dons devilish grin as she grabs the feather and tickles it under his nose.

"N-no! No!! Hahahahah!! No sto-hahahahhaha!!" Naruto drowns on his guffaws as he once again falls to the floor.

"Serves ya right!" Applejack snickered while Naruto comically groaned with Apple Bloom and Big Mac chuckling in amusement.

"Apple Bloom! Big Mac! Could y'all help me in settin up the table?!" Granny Smith called out promoting the two of them to enter the kitchen thus leaving the two blondes alone.

Naruto's forehead has gone sweaty to the point where he discards his headband as he climes back on the couch. "Ow!" Naruto yelped as his head has become much more sore as he climbs back on the couch but leans forward, placing his face inches away from Applejack's.

"That hurt, ya know!" He said with a pout but Applejack was blushing with her mouth agape but still managed to hold herself together as she gently runs her hand on the sore part of his head.

"Ehehe...sorry.." She said abashed but Naruto deepens his pout in annoyance which was childish but really cute.

Naruto then retracts his head which decreased Applejack's blush a little bit.

"Nah it's alright AJ!" He said cheerfully.

"He gets over things so easily!" Applejack mentally chuckled as the two shared a laugh but suddenly...

"Dinners ready!!!" Apple Bloom called out where Naruto instantly ran past her.

"RAMEN!!!"
> Meeting the Apples: Stories
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

"RAMEN!!!" Naruto rushes in the dinning room and to his shock there were none, instead there was just a turkey and an array of Apple pies beside it with a large bowl of stew.

"Ugghh I think I lost half of my appetite," he murmured as he placed his hands on his belly.

"Oh quit yer whining there Naruto," Applejack said with a playful smirk before sighing. "Lemme guess: ramen?"

Naruto blushed and laughed with embarrassment. "Y-yeah uhh any chance you can cook one for me? I have lots of them at my bag,"

The request made her sigh again but still has her smile. "Sure Naruto!" She exits the kitchen and into the living room and opens the backpack and grabs the plastic cup of noodles.

Applejack went back in the kitchen to boil the broth as she fills the pot with water and activates the stove. "But this'll take a while Naruto so you'll min'as well eat what's on the table okay?"

"Okay, Sure!" He cheerfully replied as he sat on the chair and took a leg from the turkey before taking a bite of it. His eyes instantly became wide as saucers as he quickly took more of the legs contents to the bone.

"That was really good!" The blonde shouted as he took another leg and rapidly bites out the meaty goodness.

"My that's quite the boyfriend ya got there Applejack!" Granny Smith teased.

Naruto blushed at this. "W-well t-that's more or less of it, ya know."

Applejack also blushed at the comment. "Granny!!!!" She shouted as she clenched her fist while Naruto laughed and still had that blush on his cheeks.

"Heh, Wonder who's gonna play matchmaker in this?" Kurama muttered as he continues with his nap.

Applejack then joined the table while the Ramen heats up. "Could ya please stop with the comments there Granny?" She glared to which the old woman laughed at but she couldn't help but smile at how Naruto munches on the rest of the leg as the rest of the family joins in.

Naruto lifts up a part of the bandages of his hand to see how his wounds were doing and judging from the angry shade of red it still wasn't good. 

Apple Bloom saw those bandages earlier and gave in to her curiosity. "W-what happend to yer hand there Naruto?" 

Naruto raised his eyebrows. "Hm? This, well I uhh-"

"He tried to play a guitar but he went too hard on it," Applejack explained as she takes a piece of the turkey with a knife.

Naruto scratched the back of his head. "Ehehe, Hey Applejack we're you always stayin at this place?" He asked out of curiosity.

This made her frown a bit. "Well...back when ah was young ah was a bit of a lazy head and didn't really liked the work in here," Applejack then hears Naruto snicker in amusement. "Hey lemme finish the story first ya whiskered vermit," she playfully teased to which Naruto complies by "zipping" his mouth.

"Well ah went to mah aunt and uncle to try to see what life's like outside the farm annndd it was really weird and boring,"

"Did they at least had great food?" Naruto asked.

Applejack playfully stuck her tounge out. "Pftt, hardly! 'Twas barely even a full plate,"

"Not even a single cup of Ramen?" Naruto asked while chewing.

Applejack quirked a brow. "Hey Naruto, how did ya came tah like Ramen anyway?"

Naruto gleefully smiled. "Oh well it all started when I was little....."  Naruto first needed to make sure not to say the word "Hidden Leaf Village." 



-flashback-

Teuchi was washing the bowls on his Ramen stand from the previous customers until he heard footsteps heading towards his stand. He looks at the corner and sees a little boy with his clothes and blonde spiky hair drenched from the rain outside.

Felling pity Teuchi gestured the boy to come in, only for him to yelp and run away making him sigh with a frown, however the boy was intrigued enough to return promoting him to wave once again and sure enough the young blonde gives in and enters.

"Hey there mister," he greeted rather flatly as he took a seat.

This made him frown slightly but smiled as he begins to cook something, the blonde tries to take a look but he was in the way. As the food heats up Teuchi gives the boy a towel to dry himself up. "Hey kid, what's your name anyway?"

"Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki."

He smiled at this despite on how cold the introduction was. "Well nice to meet ya to kid, I'm Teuchi." He introduced before returning to his cooking.

A few minutes later he puts the pots contents onto a bowl allowing Naruto to get a glimpse of his cooking and it was none other than Ramen.

"Here you go kid, my best Ramen on the house!" He cheerfully said as he puts on the pork and the eggs and places the meal on the table.

Naruto was speechless and he stared in awe at the delicious sight and dons a wide smile at the man in gratitude. "Thanks a million!!"

-end flashback-

"And that's how I fist met Ramen!" Naruto concluded.

"Aww that was a nice story," Apple Bloom cooed.

"But what where ya doin in the rain?" Applejack asked.

"Uhh..bath! I like bathing in the rain!" Naruto laughed nervously.

This made Apple Bloom a little confused. "Wait, wouldn't that give you a cold?" She asked as Naruto was blushing in embarrassment.

"Y-yeah I actually did, I kinda sneezed the entire night, ya know!" He replied while Applejack face palmed with a smile at his idiocy.

An idea then popped onto Naruto's head. "Hey Applejack, did your guitar had a story? Like did that thing went through something?"

Applejack smiled as there was a certain event like that but she still needed to clear a certain question. "Well there was that time where Granny Smith sold mah guitar!" She glared at the old woman causing her to laugh sheepishly.

"Sorry 'bout that again Applejack dear," she apologized.

"It's just that Granny Smith can sometimes become super forgetful," Apple Bloom explained.

"Eeyup," Big Mac seconded which made Naruto slam his hands on his ears.

"I swear if he keeps saying that for the next few months I'm gonna go crazy!!! he mentally whined.

Applejack clears her throat. "Well anyway mah bass guitar went to a couple of vermits named 'The Flim Flam Brothers' so me and the others stormed into their store and-" Applejack cuts herself off as he hears Naruto trying to conceal his laughter with his hands.

"What in the name of Canterlot are ya laughing at Naruto?"

"Well storm and store get it?!" Naruto said as he resumes his laughing.

"Thats more like Pinkie Pie's stuff," Applejack mentally sighed as she continues on. "Well we found those two brothers but they really doubt that ah was the owner so ah proved mah'self by playing it at its fullest!" 

Naruto was slightly shocked. "Well...that was easy,"

"Nah, ah was jut awesome," Applejack bragged making the two hare a laugh again. She then smells something delicious and realized that the Ramen is now cooked.

Applejack went back to the stove and pours the contents back into the cup and pours the rest of it on her own bowl and adds the finishing ingredients. "Here ya go sugarcube!"

Naruto wildly smiled and gladly took the rather large cup of Ramen. "Thanks Applejack!" This made the cowgirl smile sincerely.

"No problem at all Naruto!"

Naruto then took a fork though at first he felt weird on eating with it since he was always using chopsticks. "Hey Apple Bloom, those two friends of yours, how did ya meet them?" He asked while chewing.

Apple Bloom placed her hand against her chin as she tries to recall the day she met the two. "Well it actually began at Diamond Tiara's party and ah was kinda scared to even step in there?"

Naruto continues to slurp on the broth. "Why? Anti-social much?" He asked promoting Applejack to give him a light smack on the shoulder.

"No it's just that ah wasn't really good at anything back then and they just kept teasi'n me about it," Apple Bloom said sadly ad she ate her piece of the turkey.

Naruto patted her shoulder in reassurance with a bright smile. "You're actually just like me Apple Bloom!" This shocked the redhead.

"R-really?!"

Naruto gave her a nod. "Yeah, I was barely getting any good grades back at the ninja academy," he explained while Granny Smith was intrigued at the blondes former academy.

"Hmm...Big Macintosh did said the yer 'the most epic ninja'...that does explain a lot," she said which made Naruto snicker lightly on how a super quiet guy like Big Mac can still have a good memory.

Naruto cleared his throat. "Well anyway back at the academy I really stink at target practice, really really bad at combat, and I can barely pass a test ya know!" He said with a childish pout.

Applejack smiled at this. "You know, Rainbow Dash is a black belt in karate and she would always invite us to training sessions and ah'm mostly focused on kicking,"

"Really?! H-how much leg power do ya got now?" Naruto asked in pure curiosity.

Applejack lets out a smirk. "Well...ah can break dozens of boards thick or thin, heck ah even stomped a log into two!"

Naruto's eyes widened along with his forehead slightly sweating as he imagines a chibi version on himself running around whining in his head. "Applejack can do that after just a few training sessions?! It took me forever and ever to get strong, ya know!!!"

Naruto continues with his story. "And back then I would always lose at most of the other kids games and I was super slow that it took me forever to break an old speed record,"

"So in other words you were a loser," Granny Smith commented which made the blonde pout.

"Granny! Please watch the comments!" Applejack yelled which promoted the elder to snicker and "zips" her mouth as Naruto continued eating while Applejack sighed and sat back down.

Naruto placed his hand on Applejack's shoulder and gave her a reassuring smile. "You didn't really have to yell at her Applejack after all she's your family right?" 

Even though his hand was bandaged Applejack still felt its warmth and her lips quivered into a smile with a light blush.

"But Applejack can be quite the temper," said Big Mac causing him to receive a death glare from his sister.

Naruto then turned his attention back to Apple Bloom. "But anyway Apple Bloom I really was a loser back then but I never gave up no matter what comes up and I always get back up on my feet, believe it!"

Apple Bloom still had her insecurities over her lack of talent but she couldn't help but feel stronger from Naritos words and so she gave him a cute and gratefull smile. "Thanks Naruto, ah'm not gonna give up no matter what!"

"That's the spirit!" Naruto cheered as they bump fists and laughed together which bought smiles to the rest of the family.

"Ah haven't seen Apple Bloom that happy ever since she met Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle...ya know! " Applejack mentally cheered but took notice on how she mimicked the idiots catchphrase. "Great..now ah'm doin it"

Naruto then continues eating his Ramen at a wilder and faster rate which slightly surprised the rest of Applejack's family to which she took noticed of and sighed. "This is gonna be a long night...but ah wonder how Twi is doing she just returned so...where's she stayin at?"
> Meanwhile (Evil never sleeps)

Back at the park Black Zetsu continues to scan the area while keeping himself hidden by merging from tree to tree. 

"These people...all of them vary in skin color but some have the normal one..I'm definitely in an alternate universe," he muttered as he remembered what happened before.


-flashback-

"PLANETRY RASEN-SHURIKEN!!!" both beast and jinchuriki yelled as Naruto throws the gigantic spiraling orb towards madara. The Uchiha screamed in pure agony as he becomes engulfed by the vortex that is both a combination of wind and the fire generated from the explosion. 

"Argh!!" Zetsu managed to avoid the attack at the last moment as he sinks on the ground.

The explosion lasted for several seconds and once it dissipated it left nothing but a large crater and a motionless Madara in the middle of it.

Zetsu rises from the surface and sees Naruto approaching the near dead Uchiha. "Lord Madara is still alive," he then sinks back to the ground in an attempt to attack the blond from behind.

After getting close enough Zetsu pops up his head, but something was wrong for Naruto was in a blood red aura.  "H-hey! W-what the hell did you do to me?" Naruto asked in a state of panic but the Uchiha did not respond. 

"Hey!" Naruto frantically backs away from him and looks at his arms which were slowly becoming transparent.

Madara lets out a dry chuckle. "hehehe...consider that your reward for defeating me.....or rather consider that your punishment for defeating me," he weakly said.

The red aura turns pure white brightening by the second and as every second pass Naruto begins to feel less physical.

"Mmmaaaddarra!!!"

Zetsu's eye widens in shock as he too gets enveloped by the light. "Arrghh!"

-end flashback-

"That's all I can remember...that was stupid of me!" He groaned before quickly calming down and spots the buildings outside the area. 

"I've got a lot of exploring to do here,"
______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Hidden Leaf Village

Team Kakashi was in the Hokage's office fore the details of their mission. 

"Alright Team Kakashi there's a large group of bandits that just robbed one of the largest banks and your mission for today us to stop them!" Tsunade shouted.

"You got it Granny!!" Naruto saluted with a grin while a mortified Sasuke facepalmed which got a chuckle from Sakura and Kakashi.


The group then exits the building and leaps on one of the rooftops and spots a cloud of smoke from the distance promoting Sasuke to activate his sharingan to take a much closer look. 

"There they are, let's go," He said as he jumps off in a black blur.

"Sasuke, wait up!!" Naruto shouted as he follows suit.

Sakura on the other hand was giggling in amusement. "I'm glad things are now back to the way they used to be sensei,"

Kakashi puts a cheerful look on his eyes. "Indeed Sakura," he replied as they leapt off after the two.


The bandits have gotten some distance away from the Bank carrying several bags full of cash. "Heh! Those chumps didn't even stood a chance!!" Shouted the leader to his subordinates.

"We have one helluva load here!!" The other Bandit shouted in a bliss of joy until four black dashes landed in front of the group of thugs shocking them.

"That's as far as you go!" Said Kakashi as he draws out his kunai.

One of the thugs were slightly frightened.  "Shit! We've been found, w-what do we do?" He asked to his leader.

This made him snarl at him. "Isn't it obvious? Pulverize 'em!!!"

The horde of criminals then rushes towards the four which promotes Naruto to even the odds as he crossed his fingers. 

"Shadow clone jutsu!" In an instant several clones appear in a large puff of smoke. 

"Chaaarrggee!!"

While Naruto and his clones clash with the bandits the other three confronts the three main members. All of them were at least 6 feet and extremely muscular build.

"Hehehe...prepare to get squished!" Shouted the leader as he cracks the knuckles on his massive hand though thee trio remained unfazed as Sasuke coats his left hand in shimmering lightning and disappears in a black flash.

"Hey where'd he go?"  

Sasuke immediately appears behind him and thrusts his lightning on his back. "Chidori!!" The lightning immediately erupts on the brutes back electrocuting him to submission.

Sakura goes after bandit number two as she leaps into air charging her fist with chakra. "Shannaro!!!" She slams her fist in the ground with the impact powerful enough to send the brute flying where Sakura one again jumps in the air and finishes him off with a fist to the gut which sends him crashing back to earth.

The leader begins to shudder in fear as Kakashi rushes toward him while charging lightning onto his hand and extends it out to the criminal where the lightning morphs into a wolf. "Lightning beast running technique!"

The wolf of lightning immediately erupts once it slams onto its target. "Arrrrgghhh!!"

At first it seems it's over for him but the brute gets up, unfazed as his burned shirt falls off revealing armor underneath as he rushed towards Kakashi with his first clanged.

Naruto spots this and leaps into the air spawning a shadow clone by his side to help him with the formation of the Rasengan as it expands to the size of a basketball.

"Giant Rasengan!!!" Both Naruto's slams the spear into the brutes abdomen shattering the armor as it drills onto his skin, making him scream in pain as it sends him flying and crashes into a tree trunk as the orb explodes.

"Heh! I saved the day again, ya know!" Naruto bragged with his usual grin.

"Hmph!" Sasuke scoffed. "Don't be so sure about that Dobe," he added as he points at the many thugs that managed to take down the clones.

"Heh!" Naruto cracked his knuckles as he created dozens of shadow clones where they then cling onto each other's feet, forming a chain formation with the original holing onto the last clone.

With all his strength Naruto swings the clone chain onto the thugs. "SUPER DUPER CLONE WHIP!!!" All Naruto's said in unsion.

The clone at the top helds out his leg as his feet powerfully slams into the enemy's thus sending them flying high in the sky. The clones then broke off their formation as they disappeared in several puffs of smoke.

Sasuke then jumps in the air and draws out his sword and coats it in lightning, Naruto and the others saw Sasuke dashing off in a blue blur and slashes all of the enemies in mere moments, not really wounding them just letting his sword make contact to them, lightning then erupts on the spot where his sword hit on the bandits.

Several minutes later they were all tied up, all of them were completely unconscious and the four then left the rouge ninjas to be picked up by the ANBU.

The team were now heading back to the village as they jump from branch to branch.
> Meanwhile (A Peaceful Day)

Back at the other world


Naruto's dinner with the Applejack's family, despite the blondes way of eating, was still going pretty well. Naruto has now finished his first bowl but was still hungry as ever and has since discarded the bandages on his hand.

"Seconds please!" Naruto cheerfully requested as he claps his hands.





"Ow!!" Naruto yelped as he dropped his chopsticks and looks at his right hand and sees several spots were a little bit red as he grips on it, the wounds have not yet fully healed. 

"Ow,ow,ow.."

"Mmgghh, I can't eat with my left hand darn it," Naruto whined with a childish pout.

Applejack scooted closer to Naruto and uses her fork to pickup the broth and helds it in front of his mouth. "Here, now say ahh." She muttered while avoiding his gaze.

"Eh? You're feeding me again?" Naruto blushed a little but was too happy to notice as he smiled and took it in, it was the same pattern over and over again.

As Applejack fed him she can hear her family holding their laughter in amusement but she really couldn't care less since this was her idea after all.

Once it was finished Naruto accidentally knocks off Applejack's hat. "Ah! Sorry, sorry," Naruto picks up the hat for her but before she can grab it Naruto put it on his head and runs off laughing.

"Wha-Naruto!!" Applejack immediately ran after him, they went in circles in the living room before Naruto goes outside still laughing.

But Naruto gets slightly scared as he looks behind him and sees a super pissed Applejack. "Uh Applejack.." Naruto puts up a nervous smile as she getting scarier by the second.

"Naruto Uzumaki!!!" Applejack yelled with fire in her eyes as she was now a few meters from him.

Naruto was officially scared. "Ah A-Applejack I-i didn't mean to-" it was too late as Applejack tackles him to the ground. Naruto then shuts his eyes expecting a beat down from the cowgirl but nothing was happening.

Naruto opened his eyes and sees Applejack with a playful grin, at firsts Naruto was confused but the moment she started tickling him the confusion was erased. 

Naruto tried to speak but most of his words were drowned by his guffaws. "A-Appleja-hahahahaha!! S-stop it!! Hahaha!" 

"Are ya really a ninja?" Applejack asked while giggling. "Sounds like a bunch of hooey to me," she added as Naruto was still laughing.

"Hahahahaha- Ahahahaha!!"

Applejack then stopped promoting Naruto to open his eyes but shut them immediately as he felt a hard jab to his gut. "Ow!!!" This of course made her smirk as she helped him up.

"Ugghh.." Naruto moaned as he hugs his stomach. "What was that for?"

Applejack lightly laughed. "Just tellin ya not ta mess with my stuff," she then gave him a playful, but still strong, punch in the shoulder as they head back inside.

"Y-yes mam," Naruto murmured but he still had that curiosity on where Applejack got the Stetson.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Team 7 was still leaping through the forest but was now near the village with the Naruto duplicate chuckling at himself. "I gotta admit after all that resting after the war I hadn't had this much action lately, ya know!"

"Hmph," Sasuke scoffed. "You're still reckless as ever, of it wasn't for me you've probably ended up getting fried by Madara back there," Despite the petty mockery at the blonde Sasuke's lips curled into an amused smile.

"Say that again i dare ya!" Naruto countered.

Sasuke grinned at him. "Hmph, I can tell that you actually got scared at Madara when you looked at his rinnegan," he teased.

Naruto's eye was now twitching in annoyance. "Tch! Don't get so cocky just because you a sharingan!" He said as he leapt ahead and immediately helds his rear out. "Take this!!"

Naruto lets out a massive fart directly to Sasuke's face making him instantly fall to the ground coughing and covering his nose.

"Hehe! Serves you right ya bastard!" Naruto laughed as he excludes the last of the gaseous waste.

Sasuke immediately gets up with a scowl. "That little..!"

Naruto continues to laugh at Sasuke until a giant purple skeletal fist rockets towards him which sends him slamming onto a tree trunk.

The Uchiha then sighed as he dispels his susano arm with Sakura giggling in amusement. "We're finally back together!"


After the mission The Naruto duplicate was now taking a stroll throughout the village thinking about what he should do for fun right now. "Mmm...what should I do next? Train with Konohamaru? Or try out that new special Ramen at ichiraku?" though it was just a thought Naruto began drooling on the thought until someone was approaching him.

It was a young girl that had long dark blue hair with straight bangs and fair skin, her eyes on the other hand were blank white but had a lavender shade on it.

"Oh, hey there Hinata!" Naruto cheerfully waved at her as she approached him meekly as always.

"U-um...Naruto I..uh..I" strangely Hinata was much more shy than usual, Naruto noticed this along with a paperbag on her hands.

Hinata's gaze remained fixed on the ground fidgeting the paper bag. "Um..Naruto..I.."

"What's in that bag Hinata?" Naruto asked with his voice thick with curiosity which deepened the blush of the already meek girl but in a split of a second she shoved the bag onto his face.

"Eh? For me?" He asked has he held onto it while pointing at himself as Hinata gave him a nod. Feeling something soft inside Naruto opened the bag and took out the object and made him particularly more puzzled.

It was a plushie that had the shape and form of a pony, but it's appearance and outfit were perfectly identical to his. "A horse?"

Hinata was finally able to face him. "W-well technically it's a pony," she corrected.

Looking back at the object made him remember a very popular show. "Hey isn't there a show about these uhh...what's the title again?"

"P-Ponies: the magic of friendship," Hinata meekly reminded him.

"Yeah! That's the one and you're a super fan of it right?" Naruto asked her with a grin.

Hinata rubs her hands in embarrassment. "Y-yes..yes I am. I love the show w-with all my heart,"

Naruto smiled it her as he helds out his thumb. "Thanks Hinata I'll treasure it for the rest of my life, Believe it!" 

"N-Naruto," Hinata's face at this point was now tomato red but slowly gave him a smile back but when she looked at the clock at a nearby store she becomes shocked.

"Oh no!"

The blonde's eyes widened. "W-what's wrong Hinata?!"

"It's almost noon! The show is about to start! S-see you later Naruto!" Hinata said frantically as she leapt into the distance leaving Naruto alone.

"Hmm..I still don't get how that show has guy fans, ya know" Naruto murmured inwardly but quickly smiled. "Maybe I should give that show a shot!"

As Naruto prepares to walk to his home he hears someone calling him.

"Oh Naruto~"

Naruto turns his head on the alley. "Mm?" It was a young woman with long black hair and is wearing a green dress that was so short it was showing almost all of her figure.

"You're the village hero, Naruto, aren't you?" The lady asked in a slutry tone but the blonde was to oblivious to notice.

"Me?" Naruto asked before laughing sheepishly while scratching the back of his neck. "Ehehe..I'm no hero, stop it," Naruto pleaded but was obviously flattered.

"Oh? Then I must be talking to the wrong person, eh?"

Naruto was about to respond but when the woman said that last word he recognized that catchphrase anywhere and points his finger at the lady. "Ahhhh!!! You're Konohamaru!!!" 

This made her pout. "I'm not Konohamaru!" She argued.

"Don't lie!!" Naruto runs off in utter embarrassment but Konohamaru runs after him with his teammates right behind him.

"Heyyy!! Wait up!!"

Naruto smiles as he speeds up his pace. "In that case I'll do this!" He shouted as he crosses his fingers. "Multi-shadow clone jutsu!"

All of the Naruto's then scattered in multiple directions to confuse the trio.

Knohamaru, still in his female state, crossed his fingers as well. "You're not getting away! Harem jutsu!!" In an instant several female clones appear which made the blonde mob more fearful.

The Naruto's try to get away but the females keep catching up and bombarded them with questions such as interview, dating and other personal stuff.

At this point the blonde mob began shrieking and they ran at full speed. "AH! BACK OFF!!!"



The mob of women continues to chase the blondes back and fourth with no end as they cross the alleways over and over before running down the road.

Sasuke was casually sitting on a rooftop eating dumplings as he hears Naruto's shrieking but sounded multiple promoting him to look down and sees the chase.

"Some things in this world never change," Sasuke sighed with a huff as he chews on his food.

Flash Sentry's house

Twilight was still blushing madly as she sat on the recliner of Flash's living room. "I-is this really a good idea? L-living with Flash and all,"

Her trance was broken when something was wiggling in her bag at first Twilight quirked a brow in confusion but instantly remembered the animal that was in the bag.

"Spike!!" She frantically ran towards the bag and quickly unzips it where a purple dog emerges from the bag panting heavily.

"Geez Twilight what took ya so long?!" He whined.

Twilight puts up an apologetic smile as she pats his head. "I'm so sorry Spike normally I would let you walk but you were sound asleep so I had to put you in my bag," 

Spike sighed in annoyance but puts up a smile. "It's okay Twilight," he said as he settles on the carpet, resuming his slumber.

Flash then emerges from the kitchen with a trey with burgers and cans of soda and places it on the table in front of the TV. 

He then passes her one on the burgers. "Here Twilight,"  

"Thanks," Twilight replied as she lets out the giggle the Flash would never get enough of. 

"So? What do you want to watch?" Flash asked as he turns on the TV and settles on the couch.

Trying to decide, Twilight placed her hand on her chin and one channel came to mind. "Oh! Put it on discovery channel!" She suggested. "Sunset said that it would help learn more about this world!" She continued with sparkling eyes.

Flash chuckled at this as he changed the channel to the one she desires. "You're so cute when you're excited," he teased.

Twilight's face flushed at this but smiled as she always knew that Flash's piercing blue eyes would always make her melt.

"W-well you always look cute when you sing," she teased back.

Flash lightly laughed with a blush as well but noticed how far she was away from him since Twilight was on the recliner. "Hey don't tell me that just because you've been away for a while you've now gotten shy around me,"

Twilight eyes shot open. "What? N-no of course not...well maybe..maybe just a little," she muttered with her blush deepening and soon hears him snickering in amusement which made her frown slightly.

And when Flash sees her face he stopped and puts up the sweetest smile he could offer. "I wasn't making fun of you Twilight," he assured her. "I'm just happy that well..you know you're right here with me Twilight,"

Twilight was touched by his statement as she lunged towards him and wraps her harms around him. "I'm happy too Flash. Way happier than I can imagine," she smiled as she rests her head on his chest.

This made the couple share a laugh together as they watch the channels documentary with their arms around each other.

Spike, who was still awake, rolled his eyes.
> Here's mud in your eye!

As Applejack went back in the house Naruto's stomach continues to ache from AJ's jab as he continues to hug it. 

"Ugh..I don't wanna hurl my ramen out!" Naruto muttered as his stomach continues to feel like it was flipping.

As the two blondes went back inside the aching on Naruto's stomach begins to subside as he looks on the apple pies while also making a mental note on how not to mess with Applejack otherwise she might send his head flying into next week.

Apple Bloom quickly grabbed one of the pies. "Hey Naruto, think fast!" She then throwes the pie at him.

"Wha-" before Naruto could question, he catches the pie inches form his face. At first he quirked a brow but the moment he took a bite, his eyes sparkled instantly. "Wow! This is the best pie I've eaten since like..well ever!!"

Naruto then inched himself closer to Applejack. "You're pies are amazing!! No wonder ya guys had a bake sale!!"

Because of how close their faces were, Applejack avoided his gaze with a sheepish smile and her cheeks flushed. "He-hey no need to yell at my face there Naruto," she said playfully.

Naruto then continues to chow down on the delicious pie as he jumps back on the couch. "Rainbow and her team really missed out on this one!!" 

"Tell me about it," Applejack muttered with a smirk as she eats in her own pie as Naruto ties his headband back.

"Hey Applejack, did ya once got stuck on a tree?" Naruto asked with his mouth still full, causing crumbs to spit out.

This made her quirk a brow. "Now what makes ya say that?" But Naruto simply shrugged.

"It's just that..uhh..well it's just that how other way can ya guys get your apples, ya know," he explained while holding up his index finger.

Applejack slightly snorted at just how cute and innocent Naruto looks whenever he tries to explain something. "We don't really pick 'em Naruto, we buck 'em!" She said as she gave her leg a light swing.

At first Naruto was confused but he remembered their conversation back at the school. "Ohhh! Applebucking! I get it now!..w-wait a minute..what's Applebucking?"

Applejack then puts up a huge smile as an idea pops on his head. "Ya really wanna know?" He asked to which the blonde nodded. "Follow me,"

AJ then stood up from the couch and lead him back outside. "Hey where are we going Applejack?" Naruto asked to which AJ said that he'll see it soon.

They then exit the house thus allowing Naruto to look at the massive apple orcherds once more. "Man you guys should just call this place 'Apple Heaven' ya know!"

This made the cowgirl laugh with her hands on her waist. "That ain't happenin' partner," she said as she leads him to the nearest apple tree.

"Okay so the manuals of Applebucking is super simple, you just do.." She paused as she gave the trunk a strong kick. "..This!!"

Instantly several apples rained down from the tree and lands on the baskets below with some of them crashing on Naruto's head. "Ow, ow!" He yelped. "So you just give it a kick?"

"Eeyup," Applejack replied in a deep voice, trying to mimic his brother and this instantly made Naruto groan with a pout as he covered his hears.

"Mmm!!"

This made Applejack chuckle slightly at his reaction before regaining her focus. "But yeah, y'all just give it a really hard kick, but did Big Mac really dug that deep in your nerve?" She asked chuckling again while tipping her hat.

"It's just a little annoying ya know. Did he really used just those two words in his entire life?" Naruto asked.

Applejack casually shrugged. "Ah don't really know since I never really asked him about it," she said but something suddenly pops in her head as she covered her mouth, trying her best to contain her laughing.

"What? What it's it? Tell me," Naruto asked curiously with an interested smile.

"Nothin, it's just that ah remembered how the principal interviewed him..." Applejack paused as she laughed again. "And when she came out she looked so mad her head was gonna explode!" She continued as she continues with her laughing.

And sure enough Naruto was laughing along. "R-really?" He asked between his guffaws. "What did she say after?"

"Hmm..as far as ah can remember she was like "Applejack, talking to your brother was like talking to a rock" somethin like that" Applejack shrugged again but with a smile.

"But don't fret there Naruto, you'll get used to it,"

Naruto gave her a reluctant nod. "I think Big Mac's words even give Sai a run for his money in the 'super annoying department' ya know! " The blonde mentally muttered with his eye twitching.

With that aside Applejack gestured her finger on the trunk. "Now why doncha give the Applebucking a try whiskers," AJ said while saying that last word in a playful tone.

"O-okay," because of the nickname Naruto lets out a slight blush of embarrassment before facing the trunk. "Here goes nothing!" he slams his foot onto the trunk thus allowing more apples to rain down on the basket.

This made Applejack smile in amusement as she takes and bites on one of the crimson fruits she caught. "Not bad fer a fist timer there Naruto,"

"Ehehe, thanks  Applejack," Naruto said while sheepishly scratching the back of his head with a light blush.

AJ then placed her unoccupied hand on her waist. "But you need to bring down more apples than that Naruto," she instructed.

"Heh heh! Not a problem!" Naruto said with his cheerful grin while slamming his fist against his palm. "Here goes!" He once again smashes his foot on the trunk but much harder causing dozens of apples to fall on the basket.

Applejack's smile got a little bigger. "Now that's more like it," she lightly laughed while her hand went back to her waist. "Keep it up and ya'll might become as half as good as me," she said with a wink.

"H-half?" Naruto asked slightly dumbstruck.

AJ shrugged again while taking another bite. "Well yer still an amateur after all,"

But in a blink of an eye Naruto inched a lot more closer to her, igniting her cheeks. "Sure I maybe an amateur at those guitar things but I just know that this one's gonna be a piece of cake, ya know!" The blonde comically whined.

Applejack was speeches for a second as Naruto inched a little more closer to her as her blush increased but manged to let out a chuckle as she pushed him back while avoiding his gaze. "W-well if ya say so whiskers," Applejack lightly laughed.

"Stop laughing!" Naruto comically yelled.

The cowgirl puts up an apologetic smile, unaware that she was still blushing. "Ok ah'm sorry," though it was meaningless as she began laughing again, she couldn't help herself since the way Naruto whined with a high pitched voice was really cute.

At this point Naruto's eye were twitching widly as he pouted while blushing from embarrassment again, however the blonde sees a patch of soil next to his foot, with a playful grin he scoops a small piece of it and throws at at Applejack's face, dropping her apple

It was now Naruto's turn to laugh as the blonde drowns in his guffaws while rolling on the grass.

It took a second for Applejack to realize what just happened and her flustered blush was now a blush of anger as she sooped a hand full of mud and throws it at the blonde's face.

Even though his face was full of mud Naruto was still smiling "S-sorry..Ahahahaha!" He couldn't let out more words as he continues to burst out laughing.

At first Applejack's face was stern with annoyance but now she couldn't help but laugh along as well due it just how cute he looked. "That's 'mud in the eye' for ya," she said between her laughing.

The moment Naruto stopped his laughing and opened his eyes he feels a wet towel landing on his face thus allowing him to remove the mud from his face.

After he was done he saw Applejack cleaning her face with her own towel. Thankfully the wash cloth was really soaked to the point that it also allowed her to wipe off the mud on the bangs that frame her face.

After that she gave her long blonde hair a flip with her hand as a gust of wind blows buy.

The moment her hair flipped with the wind Naruto couldn't help but blush madly at just how beautiful she looked with her long hair blowing like that and the overall sight just left him utterly speechless.

Applejack saw Naruto's dumbstruck look and became slightly concerned as she knelt down. "Y-you okay there Naruto?"

Naruto could barely hear her question as everything went pink with Applejack having sparkles everywhere and the blonde was so lost in is trance that Applejack's word were misinterpreted.

"You like it Naruto?" Applejack asked in a seductive tone as she gave her hair a few more flips.

Naruto's mouth as practically about to drool at this point. "I-I do..a looott.." He murmured dreamingly.

"Huh?" Applejack was dumbstruck as that was not the reply she was expecting but her mind went completely blank as Naruto takes one of her golden silky locks into his mouth and practically begins chewing on it while taking in its scent.

"Mmmm...I like it..a looott," Naruto murmured again while slurping on her hair, Applejack wanted to move but her body was frozen and she knew that her cheeks were practically redder than their signature fruit.

Kurama was watching the scene unfold and bursted out laughing. "Gwahahahahaha!! He truly dose beat anyone in stupidity!!"

Applejack's emerald gaze was still locked at the side of Naruto's face as he continues to chew and slurp and lick on her hair with her face still flushed.

She couldn't believe it but she was actually enjoying this, the way he was devouring her hair felt rather relaxing for the cowgirl. However her mind eventually kicks in as she helds out her first. 

Granny Smith was washing the dishes but hears a rather loud tremor. She looks at the window and her worried face turns into a smile of amusement.

Naruto's head was on the crater with his cheek swollen with a large purple bruise as well as massive lumps on the top of his head along with a nose bleed.

Applejack on the other hand was trying to catch her breath with her face still flushed red while her fist was steaming as she grabbed Naruto by the collar of his jacket and was wildly shaking him.

"THAT WAS SO FREAKI'N DISGUSTING!!! AH CAN SMEEL YER FOOD ON MY HAIR!!!" Applejack yelled as she continues to shake the half conscious blonde.

The rest of the Apple family was watching through the window and was bursting out laughing, not caring what the cause is.

Kurama in the other hand was laughing even louder. "Gwahahahahaha!!! Best day ever!!"

> Settling in and memories
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

"THAT WAS SO FREAKI'N DISGUSTING!!! AH CAN SMEEL YER FOOD ON MY HAIR!!!" Applejack yelled as she continues to shake the half conscious blonde.



The head trauma and the shaking made Naruto feel a little bit nauseous as he begins groaning with his mouth drooling.

"Ugghh.."

Fortunately Applejack dropped his limped body back on the ground as she takes a deep breath to calm herself while glancing at her saliva coated lock.

"What in the hay just happened?" Applejack asked to herself as she groans in disgust at the drool on her hair while grabbing her wash cloth.

"That was really...random of him to just straight up chew on mah hair," she muttered as she washes the drenched part of her hair.

Applejack then realized that the smell was still there and groaned with a face palm. "That dumb idiot..." She then looked at Naruto and even though his face was battered he still looked cute to her.

"Growing up without any parents....that must've been real hard for ya Naruto,"  Applejack mentally muttered and she takes off her hat and ran her fingers on the brim, remembering a really old memory.

But before she can relive the memory she hears Naruto starting to stir thus breaking her trance so she can help him up. In one pull Applejack made Naruto sit up on the grass.

"Ow, ow, ow, ow!!" Naruto yelped as he touched his cheek. "Oww..." When Naruto opened his eyes, Applejack knelt down in front of him and while her face was stern there was still concern on it as she tenderly placed her hand on his bruised cheek.

"Naruto, please don't ever do that again," she said with a slight pout but her eyes were stern.

The blond was confused at this as he quirked a brow. "W-what are ya talking abou-" but Naruto instantly remembered what he just did to Applejack and quickly wraps his arms around her which made her gasp a little.

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry Applejack! I-I didn't know what came over me!" Naruto said frantically but with a ton of regret and embarrassment. 

"I'll won't ever do it again, so please don't be mad at me anymore!" He said while tightening his grip on her.

Applejack was once again blushing but she didn't care as she felt like Naruto was gonna have tears in his eyes in the next few seconds and hugs him back and even though this was embarrassing for her, Applejack found Naruto's warmth rather comforting.

But Applejack was a bit confused on what in the hay was making Naruto so frantic. It was like she was Naruto's first friend and thinks he was gonna lose her over a minor inconvenience.

"N-Naruto it's okay," she assured him with a smile. "Just don't pull of that stunt so suddenly again," she said while patting his back which calmed him down.

"O-okay But still I'm really sorry for that Applejack,"  Naruto said as they break off their embrace.

Applejack then playfully ruffles his already messy hair. "It's okay and besides yer pretty easy to forgive with that face of yers," this made Naruto sheepishly laugh while scratching his index finger on his cheek.

"Thanks AJ," and with that Naruto's cheer was back. "It's just that you've helped me out a lot ever since I um..moved here, ya know." 

This made the cowgirl smile at him. "Hey you've already said that a dozen times, ah'm starting to get a little embarrassed,"

Naruto's eyes widened a bit but smiled. "Oh s-sorry 'bout that." 

After once again sharing a laugh together Applejack picks up a rotten apple and kicks it in the nearby container.

"W-what was that?" Naruto asked as he glanced at the container.

"It's a bruised apple, we can't sell those so we gave 'em to the pigs," Applejack explained while kicking another rotten apple on the container and then glanced at the tree showing more bruised apples.

Applejack tried to buck them down but the stems were rather strong and after a few more kicks the rotten fruits were still clinging on their branches and this made her goan.

"Let me try Applejack," Naruto insisted as he approached her and sure enough Applejack took a step backward to let him try.

With a wide grin the blonde cracked his knuckles as he channels chakra on the soles on his sandals. "Gotta make sure it's not too visible though," 

And with that he jumps on the tree trunk and rushes towards the branches collecting the bruised apples before glancing back down to see Applejack's shocked face.

"N-not what ah had in mind," Applejack said while scratching her hair, attempting to get over her shock. Naruto then jumps back down with the rotten fruits gathered in his arms.

As Naruto drops the fruits on the container AJ realized that her jaw was still dropped and quickly closed it. "W-what did you just do?"

"Easy! I ran really fast!" Naruto replied with a smile as he goes to the next tree hoping to find more rotten apples but as he took a few steps on the trunk the chakra under his sandals suddenly vanished, causing Naruto to loose his footing.

"Wah-?!" He soon finds himself descending on the ground but Applejack was able to catch him while a certain fox was dumbstruck by this.

"Naruto suddenly lost control on his chakra just now, but what's making that brats chakra unstable?" Kurama muttered while placing his fingers on his jaw. 

"Maybe it's because of this new world and that Naruto's chakra is still not properly adjusted to it,"  the kitsune theorized. "That or maybe he's still low on chakra," he shrugged.

Meanwhile Applejack released Naruto from her grasp as he stands back up. "Guess 'reckless' can be added to his personality," AJ mentally snorted as she gave the blonde a light smack on the head.

"That's what y'all get fer bein' arrogant,"

Naruto lets out a slight pout. "I'm not arrogant, ya know!"

Applejack shrugged with a playful smile as she takes the container with one hand. "Ah'm just gonna take these to the barn, but just stay put so you'll won't crack yer skull while climbin another tree," she sighed.

Naruto saluted her. "Roger!" And this made her chuckle before walking off.

As Applejack enters the barn Naruto stretches his arms out while taking in the fresh air. "I really owe Applejack a lot and she's now letting me stay at her house, gee I wish there was something I can do to show my huge gratitude but all I can do is say thanks," he sighed.

"Wonder what Sasuke would do?" Naruto internally asked while sighing again. "I'm still getting used to this, ya know...but Applejack and the others are there for me no matter what, so I can't let them down!" he mentally yelled to regain his spirits while holding his fist up high.




Flash Sentry's house

Twilight was now currently playing chess with Flash as they listen on the TV's documentary.

"Your turn Twilight," Flash said after moving his bishop. Twilight takes her time and chooses the horse piece and moves it forward. 

The error made Flash chuckle in amusement. "Twilight, that's not how the knight moves,"

This made her violet eyes widen. "W-what? but I thought that's how they moved?" She said as she brought the piece back to its previous position.

"Back in your world maybe," Flash smiled while moving his pawn.

Twilight then quirked a brow. "Are you sure that's not how the knight moves?"

"The way they move is kinda like an L," Flash explained while drawing an L on the air with his finger. "Oh and I got your king," he added with a smile as he captures her black king.

Twilight's jaw dropped. "Wha?!" 

Flash lightly laughed. "You know, this is the first time I actually win at chess, and the first time I actually beat a princess," he teased which made Twilight playfully shove him.

"Oh shut up," she rolled her eyes but with a smile. However Flash leaned froward and poked her waist which got a laugh from her.

Now finding out where Twilight's ticklish part is Flash pushed her on the carpet making her yelp but began laughing out loudly as Flash began poking harder at her weak spot as tears of joy began forming at the corner of Twilight's eyes.

Flash was laughing along as he always liked seeing his girlfriend happy however a certain sentence began haunting him..

“I want this twilight! You’re trying to take it away from me… some friend!”

Flash tried to brush it off but it continued playing in his head.

“Then you decided to come back here and beat me in the Battle of the Bands!" Flash's mind continues to get haunted by these cruel words that he said to her.

"...I bet you have no idea what you’re even doing!"

Twilight notices that Flash stopped his tickling and looks at him and immediately became concerned as she saw his frown and sat up. "Flash w-what's wrong?"

But the girl was taken aback as Flash pulled her in a tight hug. "Hey..what's wrong?" Twilight asked again but in a much tender tone.

"I missed you Twilight," Flash said as he continues to cling to her.

"Flash..I missed you too," Twilight responded as she hugged him back and Flash couldn't help but sigh in relief as the memories stopped lingering in his mind.

Twilight on the other hand had a fairly good idea on what's making Flash act this way. "Is this about the time where the Dazzlings took control?"

Flash gave out a reluctant nod. "Y-yeah.."

Twilight quickly pulled him in a hug with her arms wrapped around his neck. "Flash.."

"Sometimes I even had nightmares about that moment...I'm so sorry Twilight," Flash explained as he hugged her back and he was just content on just staying there with Twilight as her warmth was stopping those horrible memories from haunting him.

"Flash it's okay that was far in the past and I already forgiven you and.." Twilight paused for a moment. "..whenever your sad...I feel sad too and whenever your hurt, I'm hurt to. So please stop beating yourself up Flash," she said as her voice was cracking a bit.

Flash tightened his grip on her. "I-i didn't know you felt that way...I'm so sorry Twilight, I'll never let you down again," he said as his lips begins to quiver in a smile.

"Flash, you've never let me down not ever," Twilight encouraged with a smile as they broke off their embrace.

"Thanks Twilight, I'm glad that you came back," Flash said with a cheerful smile. "Oh and Twilight, that's was the cheesiest speech I've ever heard," he teased, promoting the girl to playfully smack his arm.

"Hey uh..Flash is it okay if I get to sleep in you room?" Twilight asked. "Maybe I can help you ease up your nightmares,"

Flash smiled. "Sure thing Twilight, I'd appreciate it," and with that Twilight hugged him again.

"Wonderful!"

The guitarist lightly laughed. "Oh and you forgot to interview Naruto," and sure enough the girls eyes widened.

"Oh darn it!"





Applejack's farm

Naruto continues to wait patiently for Applejack while glancing around with a smile like a child and soon enough he sees her.

"Over here Applejack!!" Naruto called as he waved at her but as Applejack approached him the hear a familiar voice.

"Naruto! Applejack!" Apple Bloom called out as she ran towards the two blondes.

This made the blondes raise a brow. "What is it Apple Bloom?" Naruto asked the redhead.

"Granny Smith is just askin' on where ya gonna sleep,"

Naruto then placed his hand on his chin. "Mmm...I think I'll just take the couch, ya know."

Applejack snickered while placing her hands on her waist. "Well Naruto, ah guess this means yer gonna be working with us from now on, just don't be reckless and you'll be fine,"

"Roger!" Naruto smiled while holding out his fist in front Applejack which made her look at him in confusion.

Naruto then gave his fist a little shake. "Don't leave me hanging," the cowgirl got the picture and bumped her fist against his.

"And as for yer first job you need to buy Granny Smith's groceries!" Apple Bloom said with a smile as she gave him a long list and a roll of dollars.

"Eh,me?" Naruto asked while pointing at himself.

AB nodded. "Mhm!"

Naruto then takes both items in his hand while the other is scratching his hair. "But where am I gonna buy all these stuff?" 

"If you take the road on yer right and go down the corner you'll see something called Canterlot Supermarket" Applejack explained. "And the sign is pretty so big so ya can't miss it," she added while giving her hair a flip.

The way Applejack flipped her hair made Naruto blush again. "W-whenever she flips her hair she's like a goddess, ya know.." Naruto muttered dreamingly.

"Go now Mr.Naruto!" Apple Bloom encouraged while jumping to slap the spiral on Naruto's back, breaking the goofy look he had on his face.

"O-oh yeah! The road on the right! Gotta go!!" Naruto then jumps on the road and turns around on the wrong side.

"The other right Naruto!!" Applejack shouted which made him stop and rushes on the right path. 

Applejack sighed with a face palm now knowing all to well that a person like Naruto can easily make the simplest disrespect into a maze.

Naruto first began dashing forth on the road before taking a leap and jumps from lamppost to lamppost.

The blonde then spots the buildings nearby and as he takes a big leap on the last street lamp he spawns a clone in front of him while in midair, where the clone gives Naruto a boost by grabbing his arm and throwing him several more meters into the air and lands perfectly on the first rooftop. 

As he takes in the air Naruto couldn't help but let out a scream. "I almost forgot how fun it is to jump around, ya know!!!"

After a few more meters he spots the store. "There it is!" Naruto then lands in a nearby alleyway and first goes through the people on the sidewalk. He then runs at the main entrance but the door looked quite strange.

It was made up off glass and there was no handle. Naruto stared in confusion at the door before deciding to approach it but the door separated suddenly when he was a few inches from it.

"Ahh! I-It's alive?!!" He shrieked as he jumped backwards in a fighting stance but he felt a hand on his shoulder. It was a man in a simple business suit. He had white skin like Rarity's along with blue eyes, wavy blue hair that was swept back with a mustache with matching color and a monocle.

He also had a woman with him. She also had white skin and long pink hair. She was garbed in a simple white dress shirt, a long black skirt and black flats.

"Relax little child it's called automatic," he explained in a polite tone.

Naruto couldn't help but quirk his brows. "A-auto what now?" The blonde was now a bit more confused than before.

The fancy persons eyes widened a bit. "Do you live in a cave or something?" the man asked but still in a polite tone.

"N-no I live in a farm with the Apple family," Naruto replied. "I-it's just that it's the first time I saw those kind of doors, ya know."

The man fiddled with his monocle. "You're staying with the apples?"

The lady hummed in amusement. "Those people have the best quality apples in the world," she then glanced at Naruto's hair. "But I must say little boy you really need to comb your hair, it's so wild and unkempt,"

Naruto gave an awkward smile. "I-I'll try," he said. "But who are you guys?"

The lady stepped forward. "You may call me Fleur and this gentleman you see here is Fancy Pants," 

The moment he herd the man's name Naruto's cheeks inflated, trying to stop his laughing. "F-F-Fancy Pants?! Is she serious?!" at that point Naruto fell on the floor laughing.

"Hahahahaha!! That name is more weirder than Killer Bee!!"

Inside Kurama faceplamed. "You're so dead..." 
> Goodnight...sorta
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The moment he herd the man's name Naruto's cheeks inflated, trying to stop his laughing. "F-F-Fancy Pants?! Is she serious?!" at that point Naruto fell on the floor laughing.

"Hahahahaha!! That name is more weirder than Killer Bee!!" Naruto couldn't help but remember his octopus jinchuriki friend.

Inside Kurama faceplamed. "You're so dead..." but to the kitsune's surprise the fancy man was chuckling.

"Yes I know, I get that a lot," Fancy Pants shrugged. "But you must be a strong person because the Apple family doesn't just randomly choose their helpers blindly," he chuckled.

Naruto laughed sheepishly while waving his hands in defense. "Oh no, I-I'm not that strong, ya know. But I am getting used to it,"

Fancy Pants smiled. "I see, well it was nice meeting you err.."

"Naruto Uzumaki Fancy-pops!"  The blonde happily introduced to the gentleman which made him smile as he walked past him.

"Naruto.." Fancy muttered with a smile, making sure to remember the boys name if they cross paths again as Naruto waved him goodbye.

However Naruto sees that Fleur doesn't seem to notice her partner's departure as she was busy with her makeup at her portable mirror.

"Uh lady, yer umm..boyfriend's leaving," This broke off the lady's trance as she rushed to Fancy's side as the door opens for them.

Naruto first glanced at the couple before going through the still-open door and watches it close. "That door is a lot weirder than Sasuke's purple monster thingy!"

Getting over his shock Naruto looks at the list. "Mmm..this is a lot of stuf..I'm gonna need tons of hands for these, ya know."

An idea suddenly popped in his head as he snapped his fingers with a smile before hiding on the far corner where there was no people around.

With his smile getting bigger, he crossed his fingers. "Shadow clone jutsu!" Naruto desired at least eight clones but only four clones appeared, much to the blondes confusion.

"I-I guess I'm still low on chakra," Naruto mentally shrugged as he faces his clones.

"Alright everyone! We need to grab all of the things on this list!" He said as he showed his clones the list of items as they gave a nod.

Naruto then goes through the list. "Okay! Clone number one you're in charge with the sacks of seeds! Clone number two you're getting the chocolate milk and sodas! Clone number three! You're getting the beef jerks! Clone number four! You're getting the boxes of pancake mix!"

The clones gave him salutes with huge smiles. "Got it!!" The clones said simultaneously before scattering in different directions.

Naruto then glanced back at the list. "Mmm...this leaves me in the fertilizer, snacks, eggs, cereal, oat meal and....comic books?" The last item got Naruto a bit confused but realized that the way it was written was different from the others.

"Apple Bloom..." Naruto chuckled before dashing off into the isles of the store.





Naruto has gathered the respective items he needed but they were blocking his eyes, causing him to bump onto one of the workers but still maintained his balance.

"Oh, sorry bout' that mister!" The blonde apologized frantically but the worker gave him a confused look.

"Wait a minute...weren't you just at the meat isle a second ago?"

The blonde's forehead sweated a little. "Uh...you see..I'm just really fast, ya know! Ehehe," Naruto laughed nervously.

The man raised a brow but decides to shrug it off as he gave him a nod and walks away. "I forgot to tell the clones to be stealthy!!" right now Naruto just hoped to avoid suspicion as he rushed back to the same corner to meet up with the rest of the clones. 

Naruto then grabs a trolley for the items to put in, and with help from the clones the cart was full as the clones disappear in puffs of smoke.

After paying for the items Naruto exits the store but his vision is blinded again due to the large paper bags. He could use his shadow clones but Applejack might suspect on how Naruto got home so quickly with that many bags, so he decided to hail a cab.

But unfortunately most of the passing cabs are occupied making Naruto groan in annoyance. "Oh come on!! I'm standing here!! Im an awesome ninja, ya know!!!" Naruto comically shouted while stomping his foot as another cab passes by. 

"Hey Naruto, is that you?!!" yelled a familiar voice and when Naruto turned to his side he saw Scootaloo waving at him while riding her scooter with Sweetie Belle by her side.

Naruto managed to see though the bags and waved back. "Oh, hey there Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle!!"

"What'cha got in those bags Naruto?" Scootaloo asked while tilting her head. This made the blonde peek through the bags again.

"There just stuff I bought from Applejack's list," Naruto explained to the two.

Sweetie Belle lightly gasped with a huge smile on her face. "Wait, you live with Applejack?!" she asked, though her voice was rather squeaky during the sentence.

"Yep,pretty much," Naruto shrugged with a smile.

The two girls smiled in delight at this. "But good luck with the chores they got there Naruto, it's like torture in there!" Scootaloo warned the blonde.

Even though his vision was once again obscured, Naruto managed a thumbs up. "Don' worry Scoots I can handle Applejack's chores, believe it!" He assured her but slightly blushed as he remembered Applejack's skilled work. And the way she swinger her mile long legs just made it rather alluring.

A random lightbulb suddenly manifested above Sweetie's head. "Hey were actually just heading over to Sweet Apple Acres to meet with Apple Bloom! Maybe we can help you with your bags there Naruto," she suggested.

This made Naruto sigh in relief as he knelt down in front of the girls and hands over some to the bags. "Thanks guys,"

As the two young girls walked with him Sweetie remembers spotting her sister in her room sewing something that was rather similar to the Uzumaki's jumpsuit and slightly cringed at the maniacal expression Rarity was giving during that time.

"Hey Mr.Naruto, did you get your outfit from Carousel Boutique?" She asked but made the blond raise his brows.

"Carousel- what now?"

The white girl tilted her head on how Naruto doesn't know about her sisters place that was practically everyone's standard clothing store. "Did you just moved here Mr. Naruto?"

The blond nodded which made the girl continue. "Oh well Carousel Boutique is where Rarity lives and works, you see I saw her drawing and maki'n something that's exactly like your outfit," she explained.

Naruto's eyes slightly widened. "O-oh I guess she really likes my awesome outfit then!" he smiled but muttered internally. "I-is that why Rarity keeps bugging me?"

"Well it does make sense, since your choice if wardrobe is weirder than Sasuke's and yours completely stands out amongst everyone else in the school," Kurama chuckled which made the blond mentally groan.

"Hey! My outfit is way more good looking than Sasuke's!! I mean did you even saw his clothes? It had a skirt on!!" Naruto comically yelled to the titanic fox.

Kurama chuckled again. "Yeah your outfit is so "good looking" that it basically screams 'come and get me losers!',"

Before Naruto could counter he hears extremely loud sirens and as the trio turned around they spot in the distance a couple of white cars with blaring red and blue lights on top.

"Woah.." That was all they could mutter as they witnes the cars chasing two black SUV's with flame patterns on the hood and sides.

Nauto suddenly felt the strong urge to intervene this chase. "Guys..I uhh just need to use the bathroom, I'll be back in a jiffy you guy just stay there!!" He said while putting down the bags and rushes at an alley. Naruto then wall-jumps on the alley and dashes onto the rooftops.

He then jumps from building to building at a fast pace so people wouldn't notice him. Naruto quickly got near the chase but is unsure who the bad guys are.

"Uhhh...who should I hit?"

Kurama spoke to him. "The vehicle with the flames, since the guys there have weapons and masks, duh"

Before Naruto could yell at him the drivers partners started pulling out firearms and tries to fire at one of the white cars gaining more of the peoples attention as they ran in fear. The bullets managed to flatten one of the tires of the police car as it swirve onto a building. Naruto was at first worried but let's out a relived sigh as the officers exit the vehicle unharmed.

As the bandits continue to open fire, so does the other people at the second flame patterned vehicle and with that Naruto decides to take action. He leaps into the air and creates a giant sized rasengan with the help of a clone and dives downward, but he felt a painful sensation spread throughout his body and it then hit him, the rasengan he created drained almost all of the remaining chakra reserves he had, save for Kurama's own chakra.

"Massive Rasengan!!"

The driver immediately notices a large sahdow hovering over them. "What the he-"

At fast speeds, Naruto slams the orb onto one of the SUV's completely crushing the roof against the bandits as the car swirve so out of control and slams onto the other flame patterned car with both vehicles slamming against a building.

Though fortunately for him the officers didn't see the giant blue orb as they were busy avoiding the bullets that have been fired.

Naruto smiled in satisfactory as he leapt away while the officers arrive with some backup. As they cuffed the bandits the driver of SUV number two were rather hysterical about his explanation.

"I swear! There was a big ball thingy that hit Mikes car!!"  

But the officer rolled his eyes. "This is what drugs does to you, it lets you do crime and hallucinate to the point where you can't even drive properly,"

"I'm not high!!" The bandit said as he continues with his explanation but falls on deaf ears as the cops take them away while some of them recovers the sacks of money from the vehicles.

Naruto rushes back to to the two girls while Kurama was yelling at his head. "You idiot! You were lucky those people from the sides evacuated immediately! If even one of them witnessed your stunt, you're doomed!!"

"Stop freaking out!!" Naruto said in mock anger. "I originally wanted to have my clone transform into a giant shuriken so that I can take 'em out super fast! But since there's no people around to watch I decided to do the massive rasengan, ya know!"

Kurma sighed to clam himself. "I see...but be careful in the next time you use your powers in public. You won't be lucky every time," 

Naruto smiled. "Don't worry! I'll be more careful next time!" He assured the fox but he only sighed.

"I really doubt that, and once Applejack knows your powers she's probably gonna have to be the one to save your ass at the last second and drag you out of the mess,"  Kurama mentally chuckled at that thought.




Naruto and the two girls then arrived back at AJ's farm with Naruto being the last one through the door due to the groceries. "Hey Applejack, I'm back!"

Applejack, who was sitting on a couch, smiled at him for greeting her first. "Hey there Naruto!"

She then helped Naruto with the groceries which made him sigh in relief now that he can finally see. The blondes then went to the kitchen while Sweetie and Scotaloo were talking to Apple Bloom.

As Applejack settled the bags on the counter she couldn't help but become curious on how was Naruto's lifestyle since he is an orphan but she could imagine that someone like Naruto probably doesn't know proper cleanliness in ones room.

"Hey Naruto," AJ called. "Since yer on orphan and all...how was your life?"

"Hm?" Naruto looked at her oddly at first. "Oh..well, it was super quiet back there and I always buy instant ramen 'cause I really hate waiting three minutes for normal ramen to cook, ya know."

Applejack blinked. "T-that's it?"

"Oh! I also barely clean my room, it's a really big dump!" Naruto admitted without hesitation.

The cowgirl sighed with a small smile. "Figures," but her mouth retracts to a straight line. "But..did ya ever though of what yer parents were like?"

Naruto smiled. "Oh, I already know. Mom was called the "Red Hot-Blooded Hanabero" because of her red hair and fierce temper! And trust me you didn't wanna make her mad," he explained while shivering at how frightening his mother can be when angred.

Applejack smiled. "And what about yer Pa?"

"Oh my Dad? Well I guess you can say that he's a bit more calmer than mom and he's really awesome and super fast!"

The explanation made Applejack chuckled in mild amusement before nodding in understanding. "Pretty decent couple,"

Naruto snorted at her comment but when he attempts to look at her, his hand accidentally hits AJ's eye causing her to flinch in pain as she placed her hand over it.

"Oh! Sorry about that Applejack! I-" Naruto was cut off when Applejack delivers a punch to his gut..again.

Naruto crashes on his knees with his face paled and his eyes turned into white saucers and immediately lands his forehead on the floor with his rear up.

Applejack then smiled, getting over her frustration quite quickly. "Well now with that outa the way lets-" she stopped to look at the blonde boy's position. "Naruto, i barely put any strength in that punch," she said while shaking her head with a small smile on her lips.

"R-really? Cause that felt like full power to me, y-ya know." Naruto wheezed.  

Applejack sighed as she helped him up while slinging his arm around her for support and slightly blushed at how close their faces were but gave a bashful smile. "Well sorry if ah can't control my strength,"

Naruto weakly chuckled. "W-well at least your punches wasn't anything compared to Rainbow Dash," he muttered while shivering at how the athlete's punch was just as strong as Sakura's.

Applejack blinked. "Oh? Well do ya wanna see what happens when ah don't hold back my punches?"

Naruto jerked his head up with his face now paled with fear. "No!!" 

This made her chuckle at how he easily got intimidated by her thoughts on her full strength. "Well ya might be expecting that to happen anytime soon now that yer stayin' with us," she said with a mischievous smile but Naruto only swallowed the lump on his throat.

She lets Naruto settle in the couch while she washes the dishes, but while she was washing them Applejack couldn't help but smile in amusement again at how Naruto got quite scared of her but also blushed at how cute it looked. 

"Geez, ah know Naruto's cute...really, really cute- argh! ," Applejack groaned with a pout while placing a hand on her cheek. "And I keep on blushin' so much, geez of this keeps up my cheeks might actually explode," she sighed, not noticing her lips quivering in a faint smile.





Twilight exits Flash's bathroom, now clad in her yellow heart-patterned pajamas, as she jumps on the bed on her belly with Flash sitting cross legged on the soft matters. Flash was now wearing a plain white shirt with black pants. The couple were currently watching an anime show while they take in the cool breeze of the air conditioner.

As Twilight cups her cheeks in her palms she takes a glance at Flash. On of the things she noticed about him recently is that the hair at the back of his neck was slightly longer and his jaw was less rounded and on her opinion it made him look a bit more mature.

Flash made a chuckle at the shows funny moment where the girl manifests a fiery aura as she spots her boyfriend talking to another girl and sends him flying before the boy could explain.

Flash then scooted closer to his girlfriend. "So, how is staying at my place felt so far?"

Twilight smiled. "It's feels great!" She said while swinging her legs back and forth. "I'm really thankful that you're letting me stay here since I kinda decided to spend my vacation here,"

"Hey anything for my princess," Flash teased while caressing Twilight's cheek as the lavender girl giggled at him with a blush tainted on her cheeks.

As they continued through the anime's episode Twilight decided to make a small conversation. "Hey Flash, how are things with your band?"

"Laid back as usual," Flash said with a sheepish smile as Twilight chuckled nervously with the same expression. "What about your band?"

Twilight blinked as she takes in his question before answering. "Well now that the Dazzlings are gone and there isn't really gonna be another 'Battle of the Bands' anytime soon, we haven't been really playing our instruments lately. So um I guess you can say everything has been a bit lazy," 

This made both of them snicker with embarrassed smiles, knowing that both of their bands have become rather peaceful.

"Oh, and by the way Twilight I saw your drawing during art class," Flash said which made Twilight's eyes slightly widen. The blunnete remembered on how he took a glance at Twilight's drawing before she submitted it to her teacher.

"It was a chibified version of me," he chuckled while Twilight blushed with a cute pout and looked away.

Twilight stammered a bit. "I-it's your fault for introducing me to anime!" 

Flash smiled. "Hey, you were the one was so eager to find out what anime is,"

"I-I couldn't help it..it looked so interesting," Twilight said still blushing with that cute pout as Flash only snickered which made the girl soften and snicker as well.

Spike, who was lying down below the bed, blinked in confusion. "What's an anime?"





Throughout the rest of the hour Naruto would watch TV with the three girls and introduced him to one of their favorite cartoons which was about a Bluejay and a Raccoon...kinda weird at first.

Though the two girls eventually left by the time it was now 8:00 where Granny Smith and Big Mac then went up to their rooms because they needed to wake up early, but not before bidding goodnight to Naruto and hoped he would do well in their family.

Apple Bloom then handed Naruto a large apple-patterned blanket for him. "Thanks Apple Bloom!"

The redhead happily giggled when Naruto ruffles her hair  before heading to her room while also making him promise to play in her room tommorow.

Naruto the sits down in the couch and unties his headband as he stares at the insignia. "Gee...with everything that's happened, I wonder if I can sleep?"

But he then felt the couch shift a little as he saw Applejack sitting right next to him. "So how did ya felt about yer first day here at Canterlot City?" She asked.

"Great!" Naruto smiled, but still can't find the urge to sleep thus making him feel like it was still day time.

Applejack giggled. "Well ya better get some sleep cause it's still a school day tomorrow," she explained.

"Easier said than done, ya know." Naruto said with an nervous smile. 

Applejack was still smiling but nodded in understanding. "First nights on a different place can always make it hard to sleep, but you'll get used to it whiskers," she teased with a small blush. 

Naruto sighed. "But I don't think I can really sleep right now...tons of things have happened so fast to me, ya know."

Applejack slightly frowned at how empty his eyes were starting to look. She had an idea that can help Naruto sleep but she really doesn't know to to give it a start though after a moment of thinking AJ had something that can probably be the best start.

"This is gonna be embarrassing.."

Blushing heavily Applejack suddenly grabbed Naruto's head. Before the boy can question her, Applejack pulled him down on her lap but his cheek briefly brushed against her breasts, which deepened his already scarlet blush.

"A-Applejack?" Naruto stammered and suddenly found his body numb.

The cowgirl was also blushing but cleared her throat to regain her composure. "Well...how bout we tell each other stories. It always put me to sleep whenever ah do that with Granny Smith," she explained.

Naruto was still extremely embarrassed at his predicament but nodded and Applejack smiled contently. "Ok...well maybe you should go first,"

"Why do I have to go first?" Naruto comically whined but is enjoying her company.

AJ looked at him in confusion. "Well you are the new kid in town so it only makes sense for ya to go first," Applejack then though of something. "Hey, how bout you tell me where ya got that silly headband if yers?" She suggested.

"Hm?" It took Naruto a second to register her question. "Oh, you mean this thing?" He held up his discarded headband as Applejack nodded.

"Mmm... Well it all started back at the academy. I actually failed the exams so I didn't get a headband while everyone else had." Naruto looked up and saw Applejack giving him a look that urged him to continue. "I was really sad when I failed. I actually give tried my best there. And at that moment I was thinking about what happens next...maybe ending up getting a job as plain old janitor or just repeating over and over at the academy,"

"Wait, so instead of a ribbon or a medal y'all just get headbands?" Applejack asked.

"Yeah!" Naruto replied cheerfully before continuing. "Well anyway, my teacher, Iruka-sensei was then attacked later at night, and I was in the middle of it.."

Applejack's eyes slightly widened as she becomes more interested on what happens next. "The evil ninja was then going to attack me but Iruka-sensei protected me." Applejack lets out a slight gasp at that part as the blonde continues. "Seeing my teacher hurt made me really mad! But I managed to beat him to a pulp!!" Naruto said proudly.

Applejack was dumbfounded. "J-just like that?"

Naruto nodded. "Mhm!" Normally he would tell her that on that very moment he has now perfected the 'Mulit-Shadow Clone Jutsu' to beat up that evil ninja but that would be for another time when Applejack would now be aware of his abilities. (to this day he still dosent remember the name of the evil ninja)

"After that Iruka-sensei told me to close my eyes and I did. And when I opened them I found myself wearing his headband!" Naruto cheered. "And he proudly decalred that I've now graduated!" Naruto conclued woth a sunny smile.

Applejack giggled in amusement. "I see," the girl then looks at the clock and finds out that at was almost nine but Naruto was still not sleepy while she was.

"This is gonna be a long night.." Applejack groaned but still smiled at the opportunity to get to know Naruto a bit more.
