Hello everypony, its DragonEmperror2810 here again. How have you been doing lately. I hope you guys are doing well because things are certainly going well in my case.

Why do you ask? Well, it's because we are nearly complete with the prologue aspect of The Sentinel of Harmony. Soon we'll be entering the first arc (which is the first season of MLP) I can't exactly tell how much chapters we have left but we are definitely getting close.

As of now, Naruto has met majority of the character that I deemed to be important that originates from Canterlot. All that's left are the characters from Ponyville which he'll be making contact with soon in this chapter and the next one.

Let's move on to the reviewer's review section, shall we?

To T-B-R:

Yes, I apologize for that. There was something about that previous chapter that demotivates me from writing any further and I just had to let it out of my system less I want to make any more delays with the story.

To Guest:

Don't worry about it. Naruto won't have any harem but that doesn't necessarily mean he's no longer dense with the females around him. Just continue on giving me your full support and you'll see what I mean.

To AlphaBlackWolf21:

Thanks, I really appreciate it!

To :

I'm glad you like it!

To ABitterPill:

As much as I want to do so, there are a few problems that prevents me from doing it

Not everyone has a Fanfiction account so I can't exactly give a PM to them.

I do not have the time and courtesy to PM every single one of you so this is more convenient for me.

Not everyone checks their inbox so this is more convenient for all of you.

The last time I sent PMs to my readers, I was returned with an array of spam messages because they thought that just because I sent something to them personally, they thought we were close buds.

Most of the time, some of your feedbacks (Like this one for example) is actually a reasonable FAQs so by posting it along with the latest chapter, I'll be able to reduce the number of people asking the same questions which in return keeps me from repeating myself over and over again since most people (if not everyone) will have a chance to read it.

Those are my reasons for this. If you think having this thing is a nuisance, you'd be surprised how bad it'll be if I didn't. That being said, we'll take your feedback into consideration and will try to keep the response-to-story ratio as minimal as possible for your reading comfort. Thanks for pointing that out.

To Betoran:

Yes, about that. When I first participated in , I expected that the story-uploading aspect of it will be similar and easier just like . Turns out it was much more complicated than what I've done before this. The fact that I did it on my old laggy laptop didn't help one bit.

Thankfully, I've acquired a new laptop now so I should be able to resume updating. Be advised, the chapters in might differ than what you see here in because the latter acts as a trial for me to figure out any loose knots of a particular chapter before posting it to the former account. It was for this reason that I need all of your feedbacks so that we can fix our mistakes.

To Guest (2):

Don't worry, you'll see more very soon!

To X3runner:

Thanks! When I first joined the fandom, I wasn't too keen when I noticed that majority of the stories are harem-based so I figured I'd step out of the box and make a much more unique one where Cadence, Shining Armor and Twilight has a sibling-like relationship with him.

That being said, those three aren't the only ones who'll be in similar relationships with Naruto. You'll find out what I mean in the next three chapters or so.

To elemental wolf sage:

Whoever said I nerfed him? I just merely made him having problems using his old powers. Besides, you'd be confused yourself if you were turned into a Pegasus or unicorn.

To jordanlink7856:

Thinking of a bizarre crossover story is one thing, writing it into reality is on a whole different level. And for us authors, it's a challenge we can't help but accept and give a go.

With that said, let's move on to the story!

Making New Friends (Part 1)

The train trip to Ponyville was relatively short but Naruto had no complains with that.

Glancing outside, the blond could see the outlines of the relatively neighboring town. Truth to be told, he wasn't particularly interested in using transportations because they're slower than regular shinobi travels but he'll have to make do since it was Princess Celestia who arranged it for him. Plus, the books he was carrying in his saddlebags would slow him down in more ways than one.

"Mares and gentlcolts, we have now arrived at Ponyville!" The conductor declared from the front of the wagon. "Please don't forget to bring your luggage along as you went outside. We look forward to your next visit!"

Pulling the hood over his head, the blond silently obliged and reached for his 'luggage'. It was the same conductor that he rescued a few months ago but it doesn't look like he recognized him just yet. Slinging the pair of saddlebags that contained all the books he was entrusted with, Naruto got off the bench and headed off to one of the many opened doors available.

As he waited for the train to came to a halt, Naruto took the opportunity to recap what he learnt before this. He had heard plenty of good stories about Ponyville but the blond never actually get to see said town. Now, he has finally the opportunity to see the vast world outside the high walls of Canterlot.

Stepping outside the train, the first thing he noticed was the smaller number of pony population. The next thing he realized was the fresh air that was flowing through the air, one that was devoid of the usual choking sensation Canterlot had.

Naruto took a deep sigh before grinning. "Five seconds in Ponyville and I'm already liking this place." He admitted.

"I know right, this place is awesome!"

"Huh?"

Surprised by the reply when he shouldn't be receiving any, the blonde glanced to his left. He jumped a bit when he finally took notice of the pink mare that was standing beside him. When did she…?

In terms of appearance, the filly has messy mane that looked like she just got out of a washing machine accompanied by a pair of blue eyes filled with uncontrollable joy. But that wasn't what caught his interest, what did was the huge bag that was resting on her back. It was literally cramped with a multitude of random things to the point where it looked like it could explode any minute and if he knew any better, the bag was probably three times as big as the pony carrying it.

"Hi there! I'm Pinkie Pie, what's your name?" She asked in an extremely cheerful matter.

"Uh Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki." The blond was a bit skeptical to reveal his name but he supposed there's no harm in doing it.

"Na…ru…to…U…zu…maki?" She repeated each syllable carefully before giggling. "You have a really weird name, Nato Uzumaker!"

The blond did a doubletake at the new nickname and found himself wondering whether if his name was indeed the weird one here. He shook his head and grinned, albeit sheepishly

"It's nice to meet you…Pinkie…Pie, I'm gonna go ahead and go somewhere now."

Taking a side step to the left, the blond tried to trot pass the hyper go lucky pink mare, only to be stopped when she reflected his action albeit in a faster manner.

"Ooooooooooh, where are you going?" She asked, putting her muzzle directly against his own.

Naruto slowly took retracted his head to a comfortable distance, a sheepish grin on his face. "Uh…somewhere important?" He responded as he sidestepped to the opposite direction and went on ahead. Good news: she didn't block him again. Bad news: she was now bouncing beside him.

"Really? What kind of important? Is it like top secret government kind of important?"

"Uh, I don't think it's like that…"

"Don't worry, I can keep a secret!" She hissed loudly. As if they weren't obvious enough.

"I appreciate the thought but like I said, it's not that kind of important." Naruto didn't know why but he began to feel himself sweat a little from being around with this filly. She didn't look like she posed a threat to him but his shinobi instincts told otherwise.

"Say, have you heard of the Sugar Cube Corner?"

Naruto stared at her as if she just defied the laws of this universe itself. "The what now?"

"The Sugar Cube Corner! You know, the place in Ponyville where they make and sell all sorts of sweets!" She elaborated, as if it would answer everything. It didn't.

"Sorry but I don't think I've ever heard of a place called Sugar Cube Corner." With the bizarre names the occupants of this world managed to make, he'd be surprised he'd be able to remember one on the next day.

Pinkie gasped loudly at his response, effectively earning the attention of everypony that were within a hundred feet radius. So much for keeping a secret. "You've never heard of the Sugar Cube Corner!?"

The blonde recoiled at the sudden increase in volume but went on ahead with his response. "Not that I remember any."

"Why!?" She demanded rather hysterically, shaking his body back and forth like a possessed individual. "The Sugar Cube Corner is, like, the best place you could ever go to! Not that I have ever visited that place or anything but still—" Suddenly, she gasped, as if she was gifted with a splendid idea. "I know, why don't we go there together!"

Naruto gazed at her with swirls in his eyes. "What?"

His inquiry fell deaf on her eyes as the pink mare wrapped his hoof around him and pulled him closer without any slightest of warning. For a little filly, she sure was strong.

"It'll be awesome! We'll be able to eat all sorts of candy they have there! Oh, maybe we'll be able to get a job there as well! I've always wanted to work at the Sugar Cube Corner or even any bakery for that manner!"

At this point, the pink mare who calls herself Pinkie Pie started to drool excessively, almost to the point where her saliva was pooling around her hooves. Naruto doubt any sensible commentary would reach her now.

"Uh Pinkie?" Naruto called out, taking a step back so that he doesn't mistakenly stepped onto the pool of saliva. "I appreciate the offer but I've got something important to do somewhere else so I can't go with you."

Naruto then glanced around for a bit to make sure the coast was clear before he spoke, "So yeah, have fun at Sugar Cube Corner without me!" Taking the short moment of distraction to a good use, Naruto disappeared in a blink of an eye.

…

"Well that was unexpected,"

After having a brief encountered with the rather odd pink pony, Naruto was finally able to get away from her while she was distracted.

Deciding to take a short break, he was now leaning on a random tree to take a few breather.

"Now where is the Golden Oak Library?" He said that. "Scratch that, where am I?"

In the midst of escaping Pinkie Pie, the blonde found himself somewhere in the outskirts of Ponyville. How he got here, he had no absolute clue.

"I didn't go that far, did I?" He said worriedly.

Not too soon after he said so, the orange stallion caught sight of a mare all by herself next to the river. He quickly rushed to her side, failing to notice the gloomy look she had on her muzzle.

"Excuse me!"

The yellow mare evidently jumped at that, no doubt was surprised by his presence. Unfortunately, the blond was far too ecstatic to actually notice this sort of reaction.

From a first glance's perspective, she was a rather petite mare with curly baby-pink mane that covered over one of her blue eyes and was covered in pastel yellow fur.

"Sorry for disturbing you but I was hoping if you can help me for a bit. I got a bit lost in case you didn't notice."

Said mare gave no response. Instead, she let out a barely-noticeable whimper and gingerly took a step back.

"Huh, is something wrong?" He inquired upon realizing the look of discomfort on her partially-mane covered face. "Was it something I said?"

Again, the pink maned pony said nothing in return. Instead, she looked somewhere else, prompting Naruto to do the same.

Not too far from their current position, there was a line of trees nearby and perched on one of the many high branches of one of these trees was a white fluff. Further investigations led him to believe that it was a rabbit. A white rabbit to be exact.

"Ah, I see what's going on." He said, adding one and one together. He grinned. "Don't worry, I got this covered."

Had he been focused enough; the blond would've noticed that she was a Pegasus and that she should be able to fly up there and get the bunny herself. He mentally shrugged. He supposed not everypony was able to do what they're born to be.

Resting a hoof on tree bark, Naruto tried to assess how tall the tree was and whether if he can accomplish such a feat. A moment of silence lingered by before he grinned, "Not a problem for me."

Closing his eyes shut, the blonde tried to tap into his Chakra source. It was hidden deep within his body but it was definitely still there. Pressing a forehoof on tree bark, the blond inwardly grinned when he saw the faint bluish outline of his Chakra. His grin grew wider when he felt the signature magnetic-like sensation of his appendage being stuck onto the surface.

"Let's do this."

Once he was sure his Chakra flow was consistent on all his four hooves, the blond then did the process of vertically climbing up the tree step-by-step. The tree was taller than he expected but it wasn't proven to be an issue for him as he arrived at his designated tree branch.

"Hey there, bunny-chan." The blonde cooed once he was sure he was secured on the branch. To be fair, he could've used his Chakra but he didn't want to rouse any suspicion especially with the mare down below watching him. "Don't be scared, I'm here to save you."

Said bunny simply spared him a brief glance before looking back into the horizon.

"Heh, you're a stubborn one, aren't you?" He remarked when he saw its initial reaction. "Tell you what, why don't we make a deal."

Said bunny's long ears visibly perked up at that, a minute enough sign to tell that he caught its attention.

"A friend of mine brought me way too many carrots this morning. If you cooperate with me then I might be able to share some if not all of them with you." He offered, the smallest of smirk forming on his muzzle. "So how about it? Do we have a deal?"

Again, the bunny showed no acknowledgement for the first few seconds and the blonde wondered if the snow fluffy creature understood his manner of speech but scratched such thought aside when the bunny averted its gaze to him, a mischievous smirk that rivaled his own plastered on its face.

As silent as it was, it quietly hopped over to his side before putting its paw out towards him. Naruto gladly shook it back with his own hoof.

"A pleasure doing business with you."

Having met various woodland creatures in the past, both docile and hostile, he had learnt that the best way to earn their trust is by giving them food. It was for this reason, the blond always kept some small food rations in his pouch with him all the time. And luckily for him, the rule also applies in this world.

"Now come on, your friend over there look like she might have a heart attack if we don't go down." He pointed out as he peered to the mare on the ground.

If Naruto knew any better, the look of absolute terror on the pink-maned mare's muzzle awfully reminded him of Shikamaru's face when he was informed that his wife was in labor.

Once again, the blond questioned why the Pegasus didn't just fly her way up top with that wing of her's but he decided to save the question for another day. Right now, he has a rabbit to 'rescue'.

Eagerly nodding at his inquiry, the white rabbit went into a crouching stance before doing a massive leap into one of his saddlebag underneath his cloak. Once he was sure that it was secured, he did the inevitable effort of scaling down the tree bark.

He could've just hopped like he always does but that probably wouldn't go well with his spectator now, would it?

"Here you go, I believe this is your frie—"

"Angel Bunny!" Faster than he could ever comprehend, the pastel yellow pony practically lunged and snatched the white rabbit from him before he could as much as finish his sentence.

"Oh thank goodness you're alright!" She cried out in absolute relief as she clutched the animal to her death before examining it for any signs of injury or whatsoever. "You're not hurt, are you? Were you scared, Angel Bunny? Because I certainly do!"

As she continued to cuddle herself with the bunny, the orange stallion had to resist the urge to chuckle when he saw how unamused and grumpy 'Angel Bunny' looked. At least now he knew the reason why it got up there in the first place.

"I'm not a healer myself but Angel Bunny looks pretty fine to me." Naruto stated, ignoring the 'Are-you-serious?' the woodland creature was giving him.

It seemed the mare had totally forgotten his existence there for she immediately went timid again, much to his dismay. Naruto winced. He should've seen that coming.

"Say, now that I helped you, would you mind if I ask for a small favor"

"O-Oh, um sure thing."

Naruto grinned. "Great, I was hoping if you can show in the direction of the Golden Oak Libr—"

Not long after he said so, the blonde stallion felt his fur stood up on their ends in an instinctive manner.

His grin now faltering, the blond sighed. "That's not good."

"I-I beg your pardon?"

Whether if he heard her response or not, Naruto didn't acknowledge it as he squinted his cerulean blue eyes into the horizon. It was faint not to mention still a distance away but he could see something was heading their way. Fast.

"Get away from her!"

Fast to react, the blond did what was best for them and stepped back just in time for the blur zoomed passed between them at the speed of sound, leaving the two to eat their dust. Naruto was pretty much used to the distraction but the unfortunate Fluttershy wasn't and went into a coughing fit.

"You alright?" He inquired out of concern.

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine."

"I'm guessing she's a friend of yours'?" He inquired as he looked into the horizon where the blur disappeared to.

"Y-Yes."

As if on cue, said blur appeared once more. This time, it learnt better and was able to screeched to a halt right in between him and the mare.

As it turned out, the blur was in fact another filly that was probably the same age as the pink-maned mare. She has messy rainbow-colored mane that reached down to the base of her neck and was covered in a layer of light blue fur.

"What do you think you're doing to Fluttershy, huh!?"

Naruto casted her a pointed look. "Excuse me?"

"Don't act dumb with me! You're trying to bully her, aren't you!?"

"U-Um Rainbow Dash, he's actually—" Fluttershy began, indirectly revealing the blue mare's name to the confused blond.

"Don't worry Fluttershy, I'll take care of him, you just stay there!" Rainbow Dash declared, still oblivious to the scenario.

"No, that's not what I meant to—"

Once again, the unfortunate shy pony was stopped from saying any further when Naruto raised his forehoof.

"It's alright, Fluttershy, I can deal with her."

"Oh no, why doesn't anypony ever listen to me?" She quietly cried to herself as she clutched Angel Bunny tightly.

"So you're name's Rainbow Dash?"

"Heck yeah, I am!"

"Listen here, Rainbow Dash, I'm not here to cause any trouble. I just wanted to ask for directions from your friend, that's all."

Rainbow Dash snorted. "Oh yeah, as if I'm believe that!" She retorted. "You just want to bully Fluttershy just like everypony else!"

Naruto quirked an eyebrow at that, partially offended by the half-baked accusation and partially interested by the brief information. "Bullying? That's not—"

"Enough talking!" She cried out. "I'll show you what happens when you mess with my friend!"

"Well, I tried to talk my way out of this—" The orange stallion sighed in disappointment.

'Talk your way out of this? When does that ever work for you?' Kurama mentally stated.

"—but you leave me with no choice."

"Ready or not, here I come!" She said as she suddenly charged at him.

The blue mare referred to as Rainbow Dash was fast. Faster than a regular filly if he would.

The second he saw how her body and legs tensed up in preparation, Naruto knew she wasn't somepony he should take lightly off. His amazement grew even further when she covered the distance between them within matter of a split second.

Unfortunately, that amazement went out the window when she harmlessly zoomed pass him. Blinking his cerulean blue eyes in utter surprise and confusion, Naruto spun around just in time to see her ram herself muzzle first into a random tree bark.

SMACK!

Wincing at the sound, Naruto opened his eyes to see that the blue mare has rammed into a tree bark and was partially stuck inside it with her flank sticking out.

"You coward! You dodged me!" Rainbow Dash muffled cry can be heard from inside the tree.

Naruto jerked his head at that. "Uh no, I didn't." He pointed out blankly. He barely even moved a single muscle, much less evade completely.

"Liar! You'll pay for that!" She said as she tried to pull herself out but failing miserably. "After I, ugh, get out of this!"

"Are you alright there?" Naruto asked when he saw her struggling to pull herself out.

"I'm perfectly fine!" She snapped. "Just you wait! Once I'm out of this, I'm going to kick your butt!"

Naruto quirked an eyebrow. The threat would've worked a slight bit if she wasn't partially stuck in a tree with her flank sticking out in his direction which he didn't need to see.

"Well, at least that take cares of that." He spoke. Seeing the worry in Fluttershy's eyes, Naruto elaborated, "Don't worry about your friend, she'll be fine."

"A-Are you sure? She doesn't look like it."

Naruto shrugged. "Well, judging from her attitude as it is now, I highly doubt that being stuck in a tree trunk would stop her."

"Hey!" Rainbow Dash's muffled cry can be heard from within the tree bark.

"See what I mean?"

"I-If you say so."

"Still, I think it'd be better if I go now." He said.

"In the meantime, I think you should help your friend there. She looks to be in a pickle."

"Again, it was nice meeting you

"Y-You too, um—" Fluttershy's voice trailed away when she remembered something. "I'm sorry but I don't know your name."

"…You know what, I'm going to go ahead and take my leave." He got this weird feeling that the more he stayed here, the worse the situation would become.

"Yes…you should." She meekly agreed, nervously glancing between him and her stumped Pegasus friend.

Casting the unlucky Pegasus one last concerned look, the blond resumed his journey in search of the Golden Oak Library.

'Do you even know where that place is?'

"…Kami, I forgot to ask!"

Alright, that's a wrap for chapter 10! Don't forget to leave a review and tell me what you think about this chapter!
