And here it is, the next chapter, I must say, I am quite surprised by how popular this story has gotten, I mean, 90 followers already? Please keep reviewing.

By the way, things may get a little violent in the beginning.

Konoha alleyway

'Why? Why do they hate me? Why do I have to suffer like this…?'

That was the question that plagued young Naruto's mind as he ran for his life, since he was being chased by a large mob of at least fifteen civilian men, four Chunin's and a Jonin.

He had just finished having lunch at Ichiraku Ramen Bar, where Teuchi and his daughter Ayame had treated him to a free meal. As he left the mob and Ninja's saw him and decided to hell with the Hokage's orders about not harming him, for they see only the Kyuubi itself and not an innocent little boy like a bunch of buffoons and went after him, Naruto had tried to hide but the Jonin that lead the mob was a former Hunter nin and was able to find him quite easily.

Also Naruto knew that fighting back now would be suicide, the Jonin and the Chunin's would beat him up and kill him along with the mob, or the Council will try and have him executed on bogus charges and for simply defending himself, the life he has lived so far had forced him to mature quicker than other kids, so he was a bit more insightful the he let on.

It was as he was running down the street he took a quick turn right into an alley hoping to escape from the mob, but unfortunately when he did he found it too be a dead end. Before he could even try and turn back he found the entrance into the alley being blocked by the mob.

"Nowhere to run now demon," sneered the Jonin.

"It time to finally finish what The Yondaime started and end you once and for all and avenge every one you killed," said one of the Chunin's, pulling out a long sword.

"Please don't, I don't know what is going on? What did I do?" pleaded Naruto frighteningly as he had his back to the corner of the Alley.

"Save you pleads for someone that cares, you monster, it's time to die!" shouted a civilian man, holding a broken bottle by the neck so it's sharp, jagged pieces could be used. He then used the bottle to cut Naruto's stomach, drawing a pained gasp from him. The mob then charged forward and start to beat, kick, stab and hit Naruto, all the while, the only thing he could do, was silently plead.

'Please… someone… please, help me!'

This continued for several minutes until a voice suddenly shouted from behind them.

"That's enough!"

The crowd started and looked behind them, only to notice leaves flying about, they heard a soft 'whoosh' sound from behind them again, close to where Naruto laid. They turned to see that Naruto had disappeared.

"What?!" the mob cried in surprise when a mysterious, black-haired individual wearing weird clothes and carrying a mouse creature, which looked like it was trying to comprehend that it just teleported from somewhere, suddenly appeared out of nowhere holding Naruto's prone form under his arm, with a glare so intense, it made their pants feel a little wetter.

"You dare do that to a kid, especially when he can't fight back?" he asked slowly, putting the mouse and the kid on the ground, it turned out that young Naruto had fainted from the pain he had received. "You all sicken me,"

"A kid?! Do not be fooled! That thing is a monster! A demon! And we are going to put it out of its misery once and for all!" the Jonin that seemed to act as the leader answered Ash's question. "So stay out of the way, or else!"

"Demon?" Ash raised an eyebrow and looked at the kid. "He sure doesn't look like one, so either you guys are blind, or more likely you all are idiots,"

"Idiots?! How dare you-"

"Uh, hello? What kind of demon would allow himself to be attacked like that from the lots of you people without fighting back, even a little?" Ash said in a snide tone. "I think that makes it pretty obvious that you are idiots,"

"Why you…" one of the ninjas, who was a Chunin from Ash's memories, said in outrage and charged at the black-haired boy with a kunai at the ready. Ash merely stood still and didn't move an inch, Pikachu was all prepared to shock the charging man and light him up like a Christmas tree but it was not needed. Ash sidestepped to the left, dodging the lunge, making the man overextend, causing him to stumble and leave his back wide open for Ash to cleanly stab right through his body with his left hand. The crowd and Pikachu gasped at the speculation.

"Like I said, idiots,"

"Ack! He killed him!" one woman cried out.

"Well thank you for pointing out the obvious," Ash said sarcastically, sliding his hand back out, and letting the now dead body fall to the floor. He turned to rest of the crown who frozen from the sight of the dead body. "Now, unless you want to the same thing happen to you, I suggest running, fast," he emphasized with an intense glare, and added in a small amount of KI to emphasize, that made the whole mob, even the 'brave' ninja feeling a little wetter beneath their waist. Without wasting a second, the crown started fleeing from the scene, intent to get away. After the crown left in a hurry, Pikachu slowly turned towards the trainer that committed a murder so effortlessly. "Relax will ya, he's not dead," Pikachu blinked and saw that the man that Ash had stabbed through was fine, breathing even, he didn't even have a scratch on him much less the grievous wound Ash just dealt him, and was just unconscious. "Genjutsu sure comes in handy, I can see why Itachi favored them," Ash chuckled lightly. "Now, for the… kid…" he trailed off as he looked at Naruto. Now that he was out of danger, Ash got a good look at him, and noticed his key details. 'That hair, that skin tone… it can't be!' With a panicked look in his eyes, Ash slowly walked towards the young boy, kneeling down and inspected his face. 'The whisker marks too, can it really be…?!' with a trembling hand, Ash grabbed the shirt Naruto was wearing and lifted it up, exposing Naruto's stomach, he placed his hand on Naruto's mid-section and closed his eyes, his arms started mysteriously emitting a soft blue glow, before the glow was being transferred to the young boy, making his torso glow in the same soft blue light. Pikachu was both surprised and confused about what is happening before him. Markings started to appear on Naruto's body. Ash opened his eyes, and when he saw the markings, his eyes narrowed. "Yes… the Eight Trigrams seal, the only time that a seal this powerful would be needed is when…" Ash trailed off as memories he wanted to forget came rushing in like a flash flood. Pikachu looked up at Ash, now more confused than before. Ash stood up, holding the young boy in a protective manner. Pikachu looked at Ash's eyes, the part that shocked (pun not intended) the young Pokémon the most so far since coming here to this village, was the emotions that were swirling around in Ash's brown globes, hope, sadness, confusion, guilt, but nothing could compare to the amount of love Ash was showing to the young, injured boy in his arms. "Naruto… it really is you," he whispered as he cradled the young boy. "Better get you some medical attention, then I'll get answers," he glared up at the Hokage Monument, specifically, the part that represents the third's face. "You have a lot to answer for, Sarutobi," he started walking off, Pikachu following him like the loyal friend he was.

…

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village, nicknamed 'The Professor' due to his extensive knowledge on almost every possible jutsu the leaf village has set for store, was sitting in his desk, when one of his ANBU came in, it was none other than the leader of the ANBU that confronted Ash earlier, the one named 'Kakashi'.

"Dog, is there a problem?"

"…Yes sir, we just made contact with an intruder in the village, but he managed to escape, leaving behind no trails,"

Hiruzen frowned in thought. "This is troubling, an intruder with unknown motives in my village, anything more to elaborate?"

"Yes sir, this intruder, he somehow knew who I was in an instant and he knew about my Sharingan, and who I got it from,"

"That is surprising news," Hiruzen mused. "Whoever this is, he must very dangerous if he found out your identity that easily,"

"Also, he was able to escape my ANBU squad, even when we had him surrounded, he just disappeared, and none of us were able to track where he went, I barely followed the general direction of where went and that's me using the Sharingan,"

The Hokage 'hmm'd' in thought as his crystal ball flashed, he looked to it to see an image of Ash carrying Naruto to the hospital inside the crystalline orb.

"Is this him?" he asked the ANBU.

"Yes, that is him," Kakashi confirmed.

"The fact that he could tell your identity alone marks him as a very dangerous young man then, wait…" he stared at Ash's face intently.

"Sir?"

"That face…" The Hokage mused.

"You suspect it as well?" Dog said knowingly.

"Yes, he looks awfully like… and he's got Naruto to boot. Dog, keep an eye on him, I want to know if he has any relation to Satoshi Namikaze,"

"At once,"

Dog disappeared without warning, and yet the Hokage kept his composure, while in his mind, The Hokage was going through a million thoughts.

'Could it really be?' He mused. 'Satoshi is really alive? Danzo, if I find that you've been lying to me all these years about his and Kushina's deaths, there will be hell to pay,'

…

"Let's see, the hospital should be… here!" Ash exclaimed as he came to the building that he was searching for the past 10 minutes. He entered the lobby and addressed the female receptionist. "Excuse me madam, but I need help, this boy has been attacked and needs medical attention immediately"

"Of course sir, let me have a look at him," spoke the nurse but the moment that she saw that the boy that Ash was carrying was Naruto her face suddenly turned to anger and disgust. "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT DEMON DOING HERE? HE DOESN'T DESERVE ANY THREATMENT AFTER ALL THE PEOPLE HE'S KILLED. THROW HIM OUT TO THE STREET AND LET HIM DIE IN THE GUTTER WHERE HE BELONGS! HE SHOULD B- ARGH!" shouted the nurse until she was suddenly grabbed by Ash by the throat and lifted up and held in the air by the teen's free hand. As the nurse was lifted in the air she struggled to breath due to the vice-like grip on her throat, and was petrified by pure terror as she looked into his cold murderous eyes, that told her that one wrong move or word will result in having her neck snapped. Ash gently placed Naruto in a free seat nearby so he had both hands free, with one chocking the air out of his captive.

"Now listen to me, I shall only say this once, you'd better make sure to watch what you say about other people, while someone who cares about them, and can kill you 40 times in the spam of one minute is in the area, otherwise it might just be the last mistake you make," To emphasize this, Ash's hands sparked with electricity, and the nurse looked on with fright very heavily shown in her eyes. Pikachu looked at the scene with even more shock than before, it knows that one more surprise today will send it over the edge. "Looks like we're clear," Ash let the electricity die down. "Now where is the nearest free room?" he demanded as he let her go, letting her drop to the ground, on her back.

The nurse coughed to get air back in her lungs. "R-Room fifteen, i-i-it's just down the hall, on *cough* on your right *wheeze*"

"Thank you, now I shall treat this boy's wounds myself, since obviously, none of you are up to the task," Ash said, emphasizing the word boy as to let the nurse know never to call Naruto a demon again. And with that, the black-haired youth picked up Naruto and left for the room the nurse described.

After getting Naruto to the room and onto the bed inside to rest, Ash used what limited knowledge he had of medical procedures that he picked up over time from Brock and other good friends of his that were medics to treat Naruto's wounds as best as possible. Naruto was in a stable condition.

"…Sarutobi, if you have lied to me, that village will burn to the ground," Ash seethed. "I will make sure of that," he sensed someone looking at him and turned to see Pikachu, perched on his shoulder, looking at him with a look that demands for answers. "I'm guessing that you've got no idea what's going on and would like to know, huh? About why I'm so protective of this boy, and everything that you've seen," Pikachu just kept his gaze on him, silently answering Ash's question. "Well, first and foremost, Naruto, this boy here," he motioned to the sleeping boy. "… is my younger brother,"

"…"

"…"

"…By blood,"

"…"

"…"

"…PIIIIIKAAAAA?!" Pikachu cried out in shock before suddenly jumping off Ash's shoulder like it was just punched in the gut and then rolling away for a while, and then diving headfirst into the wall, making spider web cracks appear and knocking himself out in the process.

"I get it, it's surprising," Ash sweatdropped. He had to wait for a while before Pikachu woke back up.

…

"So, you want to know the truth, thing is… I not sure what's going on myself," Ash admitted. "I was told that Naruto was dead, so I never talked about him. You're going to have to wait while I gather enough information," Pikachu nodded while it sat on the bedside table. "All you have to know for now, is that I'm not exactly a normal trainer,"

Ash waited patiently by Naruto's bedside, before his eyes hardened all of a sudden as he turned around while grabbing a scalpel and used the small blade to hold back a kunai that was aimed for his head, the arm holding it belonging to none other than the ANBU captain he had encountered, Kakashi.

"Don't think I've been letting my detection skills rust, Kakashi, you've still got a long way to go before you can surprise me," he said smugly.

"So… it is you," Kakashi said slowly as he pulled back and put away the kunai and Ash put the scalpel down.

Ash smirked. "Come, let's step outside," Pikachu hopped back onto Ash's shoulders as they left the room.

Outside the hospital, Ash stopped. "Pikachu," he said, catching his first Pokémon's attention. "I need you to step off and stand back for a bit, this might get a little shaky," Pikachu was confused but complied, standing at a safe distance. Ash grabbed hold of his shirt and took it off, exposing his upper body, Kakashi was confused, but understood as he saw the seal that has appeared on Ash's shoulder. Ash closed his eyes and shifted into a horse stance. The seal started glowing before fading from existence; all at once, Ash's body started glowing an intense blue, Pikachu, Kakashi and the civilians who had come to watch had to hold on from the sudden force that emitted from Ash's body, the civilians and Pikachu weren't so lucky as they didn't have any training in the art of Chakra before, so they were blown back. Before their eyes though, Ash's body started to change. His physique increased showing a bit of muscle on his upper body, but his body was still lean, his hair turned a bright, vibrant red, his skin turned whiter than before, and lastly, his eyes turned from their usual chocolate brown, to a stormy gray, other than that, he mostly remained the same, he even still has the 'Z' marks on his cheeks. The blue aura receded as Ash relaxed his stance.

"Satoshi," Kakashi whispered. "It is you,"

"Been a long time, I can see that you've been busy, huh?" he glared slightly at Kakashi. The silver-haired man winced, knowing what Ash was implying.

"I have actually, believe me, it wasn't easy keeping track of Naruto and maintaining the village's economy," Kakashi sighed. "Sometimes I wish I never went back to ANBU, maybe then I would've actually be there to help him, and while I did check up on him every now and then, I thought he was doing just fine, and I didn't need to interfere much on any mistreatment. Unfortunately, the village was still recovering from the nine-tails attack and needed more income to pay for the damages, so the ANBU were forced to go on more missions with fewer breaks, that's why I haven't checked up on Naruto as much as I'd like to,"

The both of them were silent for a while as they gazed upon at each other. It wasn't until Ash broke the silence.

"So, what happened while I was gone? How're Itachi and the others?" Ash asked, before his eyes sharpened as he noticed Kakashi stiffened, not by much, but he noticed it anyway, that meant something was wrong. "What happened?"

Kakashi hesitated at first, but soon relented as he saw the look on Ash's face. "Well, first and foremost, you should know that just recently, the Uchiha clan were all but extinguished. Every member of the clan is now dead,"

"…What?! The entire clan gone?! What about Itachi?! Last I heard, his mother had given birth to his baby brother, what happened to them?!"

"…Sasuke, Itachi's brother, was spared, he's safe, but was traumatized by the whole ordeal; as for Itachi…"

"…"

Both were silent for a while.

"He's not dead is he? He's like one of the only people my age that can actually give me a run for my money, besides the others of the old gang,"

"No, no he's not dead, it's just…" Kakashi seemed hesitant on what to say next. "Itachi is the one who committed the slaughter, and now he's gone rogue,"

"…"

"…"

"…I see," Ash looked down, his hat shadowing his eyes. Kakashi sighed, knowing how close Itachi and Satoshi were back in the day.

"Kakashi," he said, getting the man's attention. "Let the Hokage know I'm going to see him soon, first, I have to go and meet up with old friends, get the full story, while I'm gone, I'd like for you to watch over Naruto, let me know as soon as he wakes up,"

"Of course," Kakashi nodded and left.

"Pikachu!" he called out to his partner Pokémon. "Come on, time to meet some old friends,"

Ash's Harem:

Misty, May, Dawn, Serena, Leaf, Hilda, Skyla, Elesa, Korrina, Anabel, Lillie, Anko, Samui, *surprise*

Naruto's harem:

Sakura, Hinata, Ino, Tayuya, Temari, Tenten, Shizuka (of the Nadeshiko village), Isarabi

As you can see, I've added Lillie from Sun and Moon to Ash's harem, she is really cute and nice, and I added Temari, Tenten and Shizuka from the Nadeshiko village to Naruto's. Someone suggested that I added Shizuka to Ash's harem, but I don't think it was going to work out. By the way, I think I'll add one more girl to Ash's harem before it becomes final, Should I add one more character from Sun and Moon, or one more Naruto girl or just another girl from the older generations of Pokémon? One more thing, for those who are wondering what the *surprise* is, it's a surprise character in Ash's harem that is neither from Naruto or Pokémon, but one more series that I will include in a sequel to this fic, I will say that this fic will last until the end of the Chunin exams, then both Ash and Naruto will find the 'key' to lost family on another world entirely.

And now to reply to new reviews, again in chronological order

fangs of death: thanks, and Ash's nickname will be explained

fanfic meister: Yeah, you're right, Ash is the firstborn of Minato and Kushina, yes he is a Jonin level, and no, he won't be working with Kakashi as Team 7's sensei, I've got something different in mind. By the way, big fan of Heartland's Master of Magicians and Pokémon Love Ru.

Pokeevee57: Thanks for the compliment, and you can see Pikachu's reaction in this chapter, funny right?

Pikminfan: thanks, please keep reviewing

Kamencolin: which pairing? It is a harem for both Naruto and Ash

DonPJuan: thanks!

Sam: He isn't exactly that dense, if you're talking about Ash, in this fic at least. But if you're referring to Naruto, yes, yes he is.

Guest: Glad you like

Tsukoblue: …Yeah…no

Link60fly: Ash's name will be explained, and also, Amourshipping is really popular, huh?

Red Satoshi Ketchum: Okay, you have a fair point, but what's one more Pokéshipping story? Besides, we all got our own opinions, and also, this is a HAREM fic, Misty's not the only one gunning for him

Firem78910: Great choices, only I don't think Shizuka and Isarabi should be with Ash, the both of them might be closer to Naruto's age so I'm adding them to his harem instead.

Guest: I keep telling you people, updates will be slow, and also, I'm not exactly sure how I can fit Arceus in all this, I'll think of something, don't worry, as for ninjas thinking Ash was dead, everything will be explained next chapter

Guest: thanks but again, slow updates, live with it

Guest: yeah, maybe, but this will mainly be Ash in Naruto fic

alwaystheright: I am not stopping this, I keep telling you people, updates will be slow!

I guess that's about covers everything I wanted, except one thing, I feel a little bad about taking so long, so I put in a sneak preview of what's to come…

Ash narrowed his eyes at the white rabbit. 'Strange, that rabbit has white fur. Normally, at this time of year they tend to be brown, unless it was bred indoors, so that means…' his head snapped to the right, having heard the sound of something cutting through the air. 'It was used for substitution!'

Quick as a flash, Ash unsealed his treasured sword out of his hand and with a heave, threw it in a seemingly random direction. The genin and Tazuna watched as Ash's sword flew and connected with something, resulting in a loud 'CLANG'. As Ash's sword flew back to Ash thanks to the seal, the young man hardened his gaze at the sword that would've cleaved all them in two as it landed on the ground sticking straight up, before a man appeared out of nowhere standing atop of the hilt of the sword, scaring the group except for Ash at the sudden appearance. The man was quite tall, had pale skin, short spiky black hair, brown eyes, and his eyebrows were quite small. He was wearing bandages like a mask over the bottom half of his face. He had a headband around his head with the forehead protector attached to the side, unlike Ash the others, his protector had lines and grouped together, resemble a mist symbol, the protector also had a cut through it. He was shirtless, and wore baggy pants. Lastly, he had wrist-warmers and leg-warmers in the same pale-blue color with lines.

"Well, that was quite impressive of you, managing to block my sword like that," he said, his hissy and raspy voice bringing now the chills down the three young kids spines. Ash was unaffected.

"Zabuza Momochi, the Demon of the Hidden Mist I assume?" he asked.

"You've done your research!" The man laughed. "I shouldn't be surprised considering you are the Chaotic Wolf Blade of the Leaf himself, although I heard that you were dead for the last 10 years,"

"Rumors of my death were just that, rumors," Ash shrugged. "May I ask if there's something we can help you, an A-rank Missing-nin, also one of the famed Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, with?"

"Nothing much," Zabuza shrugged. "All you have to do is hand over the old man, and you all can walk away with your legs," as he said that, Zabuza jumped down from his perch, grabbed the hilt with his two hands and shouldered his blade, he was lifting the blade like it was a twig.

"Sorry," Ash said. "But I can't agree to that request," Ash lifted his sword and pointed at his adversary, knowing that he was in for a tough battle.

I'm not gonna lie, I can't wait until I write this out fully, as it is when you can see Ash's full prowess.

That's all for now, please keep reviewing! I might update quicker if that happens!
