A/N: Hey there, AntiHero here! This is a Fanfic idea that I came up with after watching TMNT 2012 to the end and let me just say that it was unsatisfactory to me. I mean seriously, Mutant Apocalypse, a future where everyone aside from the Turtles is dead because some idiot unleashed a Mutagen Bomb, and they didn't even tell us who that idiot was! Plus the last episodes about Bebop and Rocksteady weren't the best of the episodes, and there are no more enemies for the Turtles and their allies to fight anymore. So I thought, too bad they can't advance in their ninja training like the ninjas in Naruto could, but then it hit me: what if they could? And thus, the Go Ninja Fanfic was born! I won't explain much yet, but basically, this is after the series is over and the Turtles, April, and Karai want to take their ninja skills up a notch, and one only person can help them…

Chapter 1 – The Calling

(Cue After The Blackout by the Fold)

…

Nighttime in New York, the city was pretty peaceful; no weird brain aliens trying to mutate the planet, no crazy Dino freaks trying to destroy the earth, and no Shredder or Foot Clan trying to conquer the city. Just a dull town full of ordinary people and good mutants coexisting, which was precisely the problem. High above the citizens' heads, four Ninja Turtles and one psychic kunoichi were scaling the rooftops like child's play. After a few minutes of patrolling together, the five ninjas split up to search their beloved city. The leader in blue made it all the way to the chemical factory in Chinatown before he picked up his T–Phone. "How's it going, team? Any sign of trouble?" he asked hopefully.

The brute of the team had made it to the movie theater when his phone rang. He answered his T-Phone and replied, "Nah, just a few punks who weren't worth my time." He stood in the center of 6 unconscious thugs. "How about you, Donnie?"

The brains of the team was at TCRI. "Nope, nothing going on here. I guess without the Kraang, TCRI is just a boring, peaceful, company. How are things on your end, April?" His question was answered with various noises of fighting. "April?!"

The psychic ninja punched a muscular man in the face before kicking a man with sunglasses. Four men lay flat on the ground in pain as April fanned herself with her tessen. "Sorry D, just had a little run-in with the Purple Dragons; other than that, nothing," she answered.

"What?! You got to beat up those lame wads instead of me?! No fair!" Raph groaned. "Hey Mikey, how are things with you?"

The team goofball sat on top of Antonio's Pizza Pallor, munching on a pepperoni pizza. "Nah Bros, I got nothing but pizza going my way," he said, which made his comrades roll their eyes.

"MIKEY!" they shouted.

"Sorry guys, but I got hungry just patrolling an empty city where nothing happens," Mikey defended himself.

"I hate to say it, but Mikey's right," Donnie agreed. "Ever since we defeated the Foot Clan, the Kraang, and the Triceratons, there are just no more threats to the city or the planet."

"I guess peace can get pretty boring after a while," April mused.

Just then, Leo got a message from the leader of the new Foot Clan; he quickly checked his message before telling the others. "Text from Karai: 'Nothing strange going on. Feels like my plan to redeem the Foot Clan is pointless. Talk later.' Well, I guess we can call it a night. How about we all head to Mr. Murokami's place for some pizza pot stickers?" Leo suggested.

"Sounds good to me," April decided.

"Sure," Donnie agreed.

"Cool," Raph said.

"Alright! Gyoza for the win!" Mikey cheered.

The head of the Hamato Clan hung up his phone and put it away; he then felt something trying to peer into his mind, like it was trying to speak to him. Kinda like April or Rockwell's telepathy, but different. "I seek the assistant of all ninjas." Leonardo looked around to see if anyone was nearby but saw no one. "Accept my offer, and your skills as a ninja will exceed their current limitations." Leo's first instinct was to ignore this strange message, but he couldn't deny that his curiosity wasn't piqued; who could possibly be calling for his help, and how can his Ninja skills be improved? "Sensei. Is that you?" Leo asked the air. "I am not your fallen Master, but I can teach you new skills that you've never even dreamed a ninja could possess. All you have to do is come and find me," the voice instructed. Leo closed his eyes for a moment as he thought about what he should do; his eyes then opened and he began scaling rooftops toward the source of the voice.

The oldest ninja turtle appeared in front of the gate of Coney Island, but before he could go in, someone landed behind him. He instinctively brought his sword and swung at the person, who blocked the attack. Getting a good look at the person, Leo could see that it was none other than a Kunoichi with black hair, wearing a black mask guard over her mouth. "Karai? What are you doing here?" he inquired as he withdrew his blade.

"I heard a voice telling me to come here to find them," she explained.

"So did I," Leo said.

"Looks like we weren't the only ones to get the message," said a voice from the gate. Leo and Karai turned and spotted the three other ninja turtles and the Kraang/Human hybrid approaching them. "So, it called you here, too?" Raph questioned.

"Who is it?" Leo wondered.

"We don't know," Donnie answered. "We all just got a telepathic message asking for help and promising to improve our ninja skills if we came here."

"Do you think it can be a trap from some of our surviving adversaries? Maybe it's Tigerclaw," Karai pondered.

"Nah, last time we saw him, he declared a truce and left the city," Raph shot down that suggestion. "That was months ago."

"What about Baxter Stockman? He was still pretty mad at us for turning him back into a human," Leo commented.

"Can't be, Stockman's been recruited by Bishop and the Earth Protection Force," Donnie said. "Now he works at TCRI as its CEO and helps develop weapons with the Utrons."

"Maybe…it's the Pepperoni Demon come to take revenge on us by turning into the world's first mutant pizza!" Mikey exclaimed.

"Or not." Leo deadpanned.

April suddenly grasped her forehead and groaned. "Ugh, guys, I'm sensing something. Someone's watching us," she said. She then looked up, and her comrades did the same. The six of them were shocked at what they saw; in the sky was a man or what looked to be a man in a white robe, holding a staff with two different heads, sitting cross-legged like he was meditating. The man had pale skin, deep wrinkles, pale brown hair, a long goatee that went down to his waist, and a pair of horns sticking out of his head, but the most distinguishing feature he had was the third eye that rested on his forehead. "Whoa, who is that?" April questioned, though none of her comrades could answer as they were just as surprised as she was. The strange man slowly started to descend toward the ground until he floated right in front of the ninjas while still keeping his eyes closed.

"Wow, he's seriously floating!" Donnie observed.

"That's what you noticed about this guy?!" Raph shouted. "Not the fact that he's got pale skin?!"

"Pale skin?! Do you not see the horns sticking out of his head?!" Karai questioned.

"Does no one see the third eye he's got?!" Leo asked.

"What about that goatee?! It's even longer than Splinter's!" Mikey noted.

"Is this guy a mutant?" Leo wondered.

"He looks pretty human to me," Donnie said.

"What human do you know has pale skin, horns, and a third eye?!" Raph exclaimed. "He's gotta be an alien!"

"He doesn't feel like an alien, at least not fully," April responded.

"What do you mean by that, O'Neil?" Karai asked.

"His presence feels ghostly, kinda like Ho Chan, but much greater than that," April explained. "He also feels different from us: almost alien, but human too."

"That's because I am an alien," the man answered. The Ninjas all stared at him in surprise at what he admitted. "Half alien to be precise, as well as half human."

"Are you the one who called us here?" Leo inquired.

The man nodded. "Indeed, my message was to the best ninjas in this place. I assume that the six of you are the best ninjas."

"Well, with Splinter, Tatsu, and the Shredder gone, I guess we are the best ninjas now," Karai mused.

"We're totally the best ninjas, Alien dude!" Mikey agreed.

"So, you said that you could help us improve our ninja skills," April reminded him. "Is that true?"

"Yes, it is," the man answered.

"Sorry, but we don't really believe you," Donnie said dubiously.

"Then allow me to prove it. I would like to see how well you all have trained as ninjas," the man said. All of his eyes then opened as he stood on his feet; he twirled his staff around before pointing it at the New York ninjas. "Come at me with everything you've got, or else you won't stand even the slightest chance against me," he instructed them.

"Ha! Listen, old timer, you don't know who you're challenging," Raph warned as he brought out his Sais. "But I'd be happy to show you if that's what you want!"

"Raph, wait!" Leo called out, but his command fell on deaf ears as his brother charged at the alien hybrid. Raph twirled his sais as he tried to strike the old man, but the alien easily dodged his strikes before knocking his weapons out of his hands and palm striking the turtle aside. "Raph!" Leo cried as his brother bounced across the ground. The second to attack was Splinter's daughter; she swung her sword at the old man numerous times, but he blocked her slashes before using his staff to swipe her off her feet and jab her stomach. "Ninjas, attack!" Leo ordered, and the leader and his comrades charged at the old ninja. Donnie got to him first and tried to stab him with the blade from his bo staff, but the alien deflected his assault before using the sun-shaped end of his staff to grab Donnie's weapon and swing him over his head. Mikey and April tossed multiple shurikens and kunai at their opponent, but he spun his staff rapidly, deflecting all of them. "Booyakasha!" Mikey cried as he rushed at the alien with his nunchucks ready; the goofball swung his chains at the man's pole, yet each time, the attacks were blocked. Mikey then extended his chain, tossing his bladed nunchucks at the alien, but to his surprise, the old ninja caught the chain and pulled on it, bringing Mikey closer to him before slamming him into Donatello. April attempted to strike the alien with her tessen, but he blocked her attack. She then tossed her razor fan at him, yet he merely sidestepped it. The psychic kunoichi smirked as her weapon swerved through the air and headed back toward her target, believing he was unaware of its return. To her amazement, the alien grabbed her fan a second before it could strike the back of his head and tossed it at her; it hit her in the face and knocked her down.

"Hyah!" Leo shouted as he brought out one of his katanas. The Hamato leader swung his sword at the old man, who dodged all of his strikes flawlessly. "How is he doing this?" Leo wondered while continuing his assault. Then the turtle noticed the third eye on the man's forehead moving from side to side before he was struck in the chest by the man's staff and kicked away. Karai and April got back up and charged at the alien hybrid at the same time; using their blades to attack, both girls swung at the old ninja with all their might, but he quickly avoided all of their blows. Leo noticed once again that the alien's third eye was moving in sync with the two humans. The alien countered by knocking April away with his weapon before jabbing Karai in the neck, knocking her out. "Is his third eye somehow reading our movements?" Leo thought as his brothers attacked the alien hybrid again. Raph jabbed at the old man with his Sais numerous times, yet each time his attack was blocked. The alien raised his staff to strike back, but Mikey quickly wrapped his chain around the man's weapon, preventing him from lowering it on his brother. However, the alien still brought down his staff, dragging Mikey with him and slamming him into Raphael.

Donnie jumped over the alien's head and tried to whack him with his stick, but the oppressor blocked the attack, and the two were engaged in a bo staff battle. It ended with Donnie trying to jab the alien but missing, allowing him to grab the turtle's staff and jab him in the head with it four times before kicking him away.

Leo got back on his feet and pulled out a smoke bomb. "I know your trick!" Leo announced to the alien. "That third eye you've got allows you to read and anticipate our movements. With each attack we make, you can somehow predict our next move and react before it happens! But let's see you do that when you can't see your opponent!" He then threw the smoke bomb at the Alien; the old ninja deflected it with his staff, causing to explode and release a cloud of purple smoke that blinded him. Leo suddenly appeared behind him and thrusted his blade forward. "Gotcha!" he thought, but the alien dodged the attack despite not being able to see his opponent. "How?" Leo asked before he was kicked in the face and out of the smoke cloud.

The Alien stepped out of the smoke and nine small black orbs suddenly appeared behind him. His staff then shrunk down until it formed a tenth sphere and returned to his back. Two of the balls flew into his hands and took the shape of black katanas. The alien hybrid pointed one of his blades at the turtle swordsman, Leo brought out his second sword, and the two were soon engaged in a sword fight. Leo swung as hard as he could, but the old ninja blocked all his strikes easily before jabbing him with the hilt of his sword. Leo skid across the ground before Raphael caught him. "Thanks, Raph," he thanked his brother.

"No problem, brother," Raph replied. The two were joined by their fellow Ninjas, including a now-conscious Karai.

"Oh man, this dude kinda remains me of when we fought Pugtaro after he got his powers," Mikey said.

"More like Jei, but without the evil," Leo corrected.

"Who's Jei?" April asked.

"Who's Pugtaro?" Karai added.

"We'll tell you later," Donnie answered before asking his brother, "Leo, do you have a plan to beat this guy?"

Leonardo thought for a moment before answering, "Let's all try attacking at once. He shouldn't be able to take us all on."

The six Ninjas of New York surrounded the alien hybrid in a small circle; they all jumped at the same time, but before they could reach him, their bodies suddenly stopped moving and became suspended in the air. "What the heck is this?" Raph questioned.

"Feels like this alien is releasing some sort of magnetic pulse that affects us rather than metal, preventing us from engaging in his proximity," Donnie replied.

"Right, I totally get what that means," Raph said sarcastically. Before anyone could say anymore, the Alien mumbled, "Almighty Push!" The six ninjas were then blown away by an invisible force. "Ugh, what the heck was that?!" Raph asked again.

"He somehow turned the magnetic repulse into a magnetic repel," Donnie answered.

"Uh, he what?" Mikey inquired.

"He blew us all away," Donnie explained simply.

"Oh, got it," Mikey said.

"Let's just stop talking and take him down already!" Raph exclaimed as he charged at the alien again. The old ninja reacted by tossing his blades into the air and using his hands to weave signs. "Fire-Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!" The old ninja placed his hand by his mouth and blew out multiple fireballs; they crashed into the ground in front of Raph, blasting him backward. April was the next to advance on the alien hybrid, and just like with Raph, he used his hands to weave signs, except these were different from the ones before. "Water-Style: Raging Wave!" The alien spit out a massive torrent that washed the other female hybrid away. Donnie brought his staff forward and charged at the alien; once again he weaved hand signs for another attack. "Wind-Style: Giant Breach!" The brains of the team was suddenly blown into his love interest by a strong force of wind. Mikey tried to hit the weaver before he could perform another attack, but he effortlessly dodged all of the turtle's strikes while still weaving signs. "Earth-Style: Rising Soil!" the alien cried as he placed his hand on the ground; a large chunk of the earth shot upward and nailed Mikey in the chin. "Mikey!" Leo yelled before he and Karai rushed at the old ninja. Just like before, he dodged their attacks while making hand signs for another technique. "Lightning-Style: False Darkness!" He held out his hands, releasing two bolts of lightning that struck the clan leaders; Leo and Karai were electrocuted, but not fatally.

"That's it! No more holding back!" April stated as she rolled up her sleeves; she extended her hands toward the alien as she attempted to use her telekinesis on him, but he merely looked at her before walking her way as if her powers weren't affecting him, which they weren't. "Why… aren't… my powers… working on you?!" she questioned.

"Because I am not from this dimension, child," the Alien answered. "Your powers won't work on me."

"Then how about this?!" Karai shouted as she changed into her form into a mix of her human and snake traits. Her hands shifted into snakeheads, her skin turned scaly while, her teeth grew two fangs, and her eyes became jade green with blacks slits. The serpent ninja jumped to attack the alien from behind, but he quickly dodged her. Karai continued to attack him with her striking snakes, but he evaded every blow before palm striking her away. He then turned around to see Leonardo on his feet and putting his hands together. "Rin. Pyo. Toh. Sha. Kai. Jin. Retsu. Zai. Zen." With each word Leo spoke, he made different hand signs. "Interesting, it looks like he's performing a jutsu," the old Ninja observed. Leo's hands suddenly started glowing; he placed his hands on his chest, and the light spread throughout his whole body. He then charged at the alien with his hands still glowing. Leo made many attempts to strike the alien with his Healing Hands technique, but his target evaded him swiftly before kicking him back.

Leo quickly recovered and brought his blades again; he swung wildly at the alien hybrid, who blocked all of his slashes. He then pushed the turtle away, but Leo quickly backflipped onto a wall and pushed himself back at the old ninja. Catching the alien by surprise, Leo swung both his swords at him, cutting his body in half. His friends had surprised looks as Leo turned around and saw the two halves of the alien suddenly turn into pieces of wood. "No way! That's impossible!" Leo shouted. He didn't have the time to figure it out as he was suddenly knocked onto his shell with the old ninja's blade at his throat. "Leo!" his comrades cried as they rushed to help him, only to stop when the Alien withdrew his swords and said, "Your skills as ninjas are most impressive." His swords then changed black into the small black orbs they once were. "I apologize for being rough with you, but I wanted to see how good your skills as ninjas are. You're definitely excellent warriors."

"Thank you, but it's clear your skills far surpass ours," Leo admitted as his friends appeared by his side.

"So, who are you anyway?" Karai questioned.

"My name is Hagoromo Õtsutsuki, but I am mostly known as the Sage of Six Paths or the God of all Shinobi," the old ninja introduced himself.

Leo, Raph, Donnie, April, and Karai stared at Hagoromo with wide eyes while Mikey just looked unimpressed. "Why couldn't you be the god of pizza?" he inquired, earning a slap from Raphael. Leonardo stepped forward and said, "Forgive my brother's rudeness; it is an honor to be in your presence Lord Hagoromo." The Hamato Leader bowed to the Ninja God and his comrades followed his lead, though Mikey had to be forced by Raph.

"It's quite alright," Hagoromo assured as he sat on the air again. "Even though I'm referred to as a God, I'm actually just as mortal as the rest of you. It's just due to the fact that I'm the one who brought the way of the ninja to the world."

"Um, Hagoromo-san, if you don't mind me asking, what does the God of all Ninjas want with us?" April inquired.

Hagoromo closed his eyes as he entered a thought before answering, "I come from a world where the existence of ninjas is greater than this one's," he began. "There are so many fighters with abilities similar to mine that they have formed villages all over the world."

"Sounds like our kind of place!" Mikey stated.

"Like your Sensei, I was also the head of my clan, and had tried to lead the world to peace through my beliefs and teachings," the Sage continued. "When the time of my passing came, I had decided to choose a successor who would continue my work. I had chosen my younger son, Ashura, who had learned that love was the key to peace, rather than my older son, Indra, who believed strength was the key to peace, and it was that descision that seems to have plunged the world into darkness."

"What do you mean?" Leo argued. "If your younger son believed that love was needed for peace, then doesn't that mean you made the right choice?"

"You are correct, Leonardo," Hagoromo said. "Although I do not regret the decision I made, I feel great anguish from the results of my decision."

"Why?" Leo asked.

"After my choice was made and I passed my powers onto Ashura, I had hoped Indra would accept him as my successor and aid him as brothers should, and advised Ashura to reach out to him." Hagoromo's face turned sad as he looked away from the New York Ninjas. "But Indra became consumed by jealousy and refused to accept my decision. His jealousy turned to hate and he was consumed by darkness. He even killed the few people who supported him for more power, believing that he did not need the strength of others to bring peace. Indra declared war on his own brother, attempting to become my successor by force; although he was powerful, the bonds Ashura had with our people gave him the strength to win the fight, yet even then, Indra still refused to accept Ashura or my teachings."

"Wow, this story's strangely similar to our master's story," Donnie commented. "Tang Shen choosing Splinter rather than Shredder, Shredder refusing to accept her descision, and his hatred leading to the reignition of the feud between the Hamato Clan and the Foot Clan."

"Yeah, but the feud ended after Shredder killed Splinter and Leo killed Shredder," Raph said. "Since Ashura won, I'm guessing this feud didn't end there."

The Ninja God nodded. "Years later, after Indra had established his own sect that idolized ninjutsu as power, he came to see me the night before my death. He stated that I feared true power, using love and bonds as a shield, and said until he destroys Ashura and his followers, their fight will never end. Even if he died, he promised to be reincarnated in order to continue his goal. Even though Ashura tried to assure me that my teachings of ninshu would spread throughout the world rather than be wasted, and that his soul would reincarnate as long as Indra's did, I still can't help but feel responsible for my world's condition. My creations have been used for weapons of war and power rather than keys of peace, my teachings have been misinterpeted, and the clans of my descendants have spent so long fighting and killing each other and their kin in order to continue the war between Indra and Ashura." The Sage only seemed to grow more depressed as he spoke. "For so many years, hate has only seemed to spread throughout the world, outweighing the little love that exists, and my sons grow more and more distant in their paths, refusing to make peace with each other and darkening the world even more, all because of the descision I made."

"That's not true!" April argued, getting everyone's attention. "You believed love was the key to peace and chose the son who shared your views. That was the right decision; it's how others accepted it that was wrong!"

"April's right! Indra should have accepted your descision and helped his younger bring peace like you desired; it was him who made the wrong descision, not you, Hagoromo-san!" Karai spoke up. The turtles nodded in agreement.

"Master Splinter once told me, we can never move forward to the future if we keep thinking about what changes we could've made in the past," Leo said. "Indra kept thinking that you should've chosen him as the successor and never thought about how to help his brother bring peace to your world as his partner rather than his leader."

"Just like how it would've been wrong for Splinter make Raph the leader, it would've been wrong for you to choose your eldest son to lead the world to peace," Mikey added.

"Yeah... hey!" Raph shouted before he tackled his younger brother.

Hagoromo smiled from the team's comforting words. "Thank you, young ninjas. I am glad I spoke with you, and now I am sure that I was right in choosing you."

This caught everyone's attention, including Raph and Mikey, who stopped wrestling and looked at the Sage in confusion. Their fellow ninjas were no different. "Uh, choosing us for what exactly?" Donatello inquired.

"I came to this world hoping to find a group of ninjas who would be worthy of becoming my disciples," Hagoromo answered. "After watching my world corrupt for so many years, I thought my choice in choosing Ashura was surely a mistake, but I see that even in different dimensions, my ideals for peace are still valued and there are some who support my decision. This is one of the reasons why I chose you six to become my pupils."

"Wait, become your pupils? Does that mean you'll teach us how to use those sweet ninjutsu moves?!" Mikey asked.

Hagoromo nodded. "Yes turtle, I will give you the ability to manipulate chakra just like my people in order to perform jutsu. But you must learn these skills on your own. You'll have to take the same lessons my people do, become one of them, and learn their ways if you wish to improve your ninja skill," he instructed.

"Sign me up, bra!" Mikey cheered.

"I'm in!" Raph seconded.

"Me too!" Donnie agreed.

"I'm so in!" Leo spoke.

"I'm ready to take my ninja skills to the next level!" Karai stated.

"If that means I can learn new ways to kick everybody's butt, I'm in!" April answered. She then thought for a moment and asked, "Wait, you said one of the reasons. What's the other reason you've decided to give us these skills?"

"You are very perceptive, April, and you are right, I have another reason for choosing the six of you," the Sage explained. "I know that the darkness that's corrupting my world is growing stronger as time goes on. However, my time as the world's guidance is long over, and I wish to entrust my will to the six of you, so that you may help my eventual successor lead my world to peace."

"So you'll help us in our ninja training in exchange for us going to your world and helping end your sons' feud to bring peace," Leo summarized. "That's quite a deal you've made for us."

"I know you don't really have any reason to trust me, and that I'm asking a lot from you, but my world is truly in grave danger and I can no longer watch it suffer while my people praise me as its Ninja God," Hagoromo replied. "Although I cannot directly intervene, I can give others who share my ideals the power to help shape the world, if you will accept my gifts."

The six ninjas of New York City looked at each other before Leo said, "Give us a minute." The ninjas then separated from the Sage of Six Paths and huddled together to talk about what they've been offered. "Alright guys, what do you think we should do?"

"I'm still skeptical about whether this Sage can really help us learn new ninja skills," Donnie replied. "How do we even know he is who he says he is?"

"I'm with scrawny, how do we know we can trust this guy?" Karai questioned.

"Hey! I'm not scrawny, I'm stealth!" Donnie protested.

"Guys, focus! What if this guy's telling the truth and his world really does need our help?" Leo asked.

"Dudes, he says he's the God of Ninjas, and he clearly has the skills to back it up," Mikey said. "If he wants our help in return for giving us new ways to become awesome ninjas, we should do it! I'm sure Splinter would."

"Yeah, well, Splinter isn't here!" Raph countered. "We can't just trust this guy; what if this is a trap to destroy us?!"

"I don't sense that Hagoromo-san is lying," April said. "He does feel like an Alien/Human hybrid like me, and he does seem like a ninja, but it feels like there's more to him than we know; and his presence is too strong for a ghost, but feels like a memory."

"It's your call, fearless leader!" Raph said to Leo.

Leo thought for a moment; the six of them then broke apart and approached the Sage of six Paths. "We have just a few more questions," he declared. "First, how do we know this isn't a trap for you to destroy us?"

Hagoromo's third eye closed before he answered, "I understand your suspicions. However, if I truly wanted to kill you…" His third eye suddenly snapped open; the six ninjas of NY stared into the red eye until they felt a sharp pain in their bodies. They looked down to see that their bodies were impaled by a black blade made from Hagoromo's orbs. Blood spilled from their abdomens before their bodies started to turn to ash. Mikey went first, then April, then Donnie, then Raph, then Karai, and finally Leonardo disintegrated. Leo closed his eyes as he awaited death; his eyes reopened and he saw that he was unharmed. He looked over to his comrades and saw that they were all alive as well, though all of the ninjas were on their knees, sweating bullets and breathing heavily. "I could've easily done so by now," the Sage finished.

"W-What was that?" Karai questioned.

"That was my Genjutsu, an illusion cast on your mind and one of the many abilities shinobis possess in my world, and you can do the same if you accept," Hagoromo replied.

"Okay, so you're clearly not here to kill us," Raph decided. "But how do we know that we'll actually have these abilities that you've promised?"

"I give you my word that you will have these ninjutsu skills. Even when you return to your world, your skills will still remain with you," Hagoromo assured. "But I must warn you that these powers come with a price, and that you will need to train hard to fully master and evolve them, plus the dangers you will face will be severe. If you accept this offer, you could die."

None of the NY warriors spoke for a moment, until finally Leo stepped forward and answered, "Your world is in danger. You offered us new ninja skills in exchange for our help, and I see no reason to turn you down your offer. We accept your discipleship!" His fellow ninja nodded in unison.

Hagoromo smiled at their answer. "I just have one more question," Mikey spoke up. "Does your world have pizza?"

"No," Hagoromo answered simply.

"WHAT?! NO WAY! I'M NOT GOING TO SOME CRAZY WORLD WHERE PIZZA DOESN'T EXIST! I'D RATHER DI— OW!" Mikey screamed before Raph bonked him on the head.

"Anyway," Leo went on, rolling his eyes. "What happens now, Hagoromo-san?"

The Sage of Six Paths clamped his hands together, and six of the ten orbs floated from behind his back and flew toward the NY ninjas. The black spheres phased into the teens, causing them to kneel as they felt a slight pain in their guts. "Ugh, what the heck was that for?" Raph asked.

"I just shared some of my powers with you and unlocked your inner chakra," Hagoromo explained. "But you will not be able to use them until you've entered my world."

"So, what's next?" Karai inquired as she and the others stood back up.

"Now it would be best for you to say goodbye to your loved ones; we will be leaving shortly," the Sage instructed. "Meet me back here when you're ready to go." The Ninja God suddenly vanished from their sight.

Leo turned toward his family and ordered. "April, go tell your Dad and Casey about this! Raph, and Mikey, you two go alert the Mighty Mutanimals! Donnie, go to TCRI and tell Bishop about this! Karai, I don't have to tell you to tell Shinigami and the Foot about this." The other five ninjas nodded before Leo turned to leave.

"Wait, where are you going?" Karai asked him.

He turned to her and said, "I'm going to see Master Splinter," before leaving.

The rest of the NY ninjas quickly left to carry out their orders. After they left the amusement park, a black shadowy-like person materialized from the ground. "So, Hagoromo Nisan is recruiting disciples of his own, eh?" the being mused. "Then I shall do the same, and who better to fight ninjas than other ninjas?" The dark person sank back into the ground and disappeared.

Then the lights came on

Brighter than ever before

Can you see them shine?

Go ninja go, go ninja

Won't let them fade

This city's meant for much more

Gonna hear us shout

Go ninja go, go ninja

...

A/N: Done! Now how's that for a fanfic?! I don't think anyone's come up with something like this before! Now, time for the Ninjas of NY to make their way to the Shinobi world and start their journey to bring peace in the name of their new Sensei, Hagoromo Õtsutsuki! They're still gonna be together and they'll be administered in the Village of the Hidden Leaf. I won't reveal too much, except that each NY ninja will be given the abilities of a different clan; anyone wanna guess who will be a part of which clan? Hope this fanfic grabs the interest of many readers, I've put a lot of my heart and soul into this one, and it might be one of my best yet! Send your reviews, they inspire me! Next chapter – Hagoromo's blessing. Until next time, TTFN, AntiHero out!
