Hello guys, its DragonEmperror2810 again.

After reading your positive reviews on the previous chapter which served to boost my already-high egoistical demeanor and brought me closer to my impending salvation, I've decided to finish up chapter five ASAP. Spoiler alert, chapter five is actually meant to be a part of chapter four but I separated it for cliffhanger purposes and how it's already past the intended deadline but I'm sure you don't need to know that*insert evil cackle of doom here*

Oh, before I forget, I'd also like to take the opportunity to say something important.

In case you haven't noticed, I usually do a Reviewer's Review section once I've passed the intended number of chapters and reviews in my other long-chaptered stories. And I intend to do the same for the Sentinel of Harmony now that it has reached chapter five.

While this section does not serve any recreational purpose to the story or whatsoever, it was made so that we can do a two-way conversation between author (me) and readers (you guys) instead of the common Hey-guys-I-posted-a-new-chapter-so-do-give-me-your-opinions-on-it. That is so overrated. Plus, it allows me to get to know you guys more and vice versa which I always fond of doing. Not in the creepy kind of way, of course.

Of course, I'm not that generous so there might be some reviews that I might not acknowledge at all. Particularly to those that served no relevance to the story or whatsoever. I'm not joking. One time, a reader inserted poetry inside his review but said poetry – regardless how beautiful it was – does not relate to the story or anything for that matter.

Anyway, let's move on to the Reviewer's Reviews (for chapter 4)!

To hussbek:

Thank you for your patience all this time and I hope you look forward to more of it.

To :

Thank you for waiting! :D

To Day358-2:

Thank you!

To Onimad:

I believe I already explained on why he became a pony in the second chapter, did I not? . Plus it'd be weird if he was introduced to Equestria as a human, a creature at which not even Celestia was familiar of. Moreover, with the things I've planned for him, I don't wanna be accused for supporting bestiality or anything related.

To AnFan-n-More:

*Insert Fluttershy shocked expression meme here*

I'm not even gonna lie but you just pointed out some the things that were meant to play an essential role later in the story. Did you hack my laptop of the story's plan or were you that keen-eyed to begin with? Heck, even my co-author got scared when I shared your review with him. Well done. Seriously well done.

On the bright side, at least now I know I need to step up my game more if I want to surprise readers that are as sharp as you. You have been warned, AnFan-n-More.

To Guest:

Oh, I doubt he can run from Celestia of all ponies. Just sayin ;)

To Karlos1234ify:

Thanks :D

To CanaryInTheCoalMine:

Only one way to find out

To Banjo the Fox:

Glad you enjoy the cliffhanger :)

To Silber D. Wolf:

Thank you :D

To ABitterPill:

Well, I did put Naruto and Princess Celestia characters under the summary but you never know ;)

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

The Beans Finally Spilled

Appleloosa is a small town located in the western most part of Equestria amidst the sandy desert. At first glance, the settlement had no significant features aside than a saloon, a stage meant for musical performances, a clock tower, huge apple orchard and a few other buildings but was nonetheless inhabited with more pastel-colored ponies.

Hiding in the shadows of one of the town's buildings, the hyperactive blonde silently watched as the hostages slowly filed out of the train unscathed. He had managed to leave the train just before it came to a halt at the town's train station where a few important-looking ponies were waiting by. It seemed the town ponies here had received a word of the partially-successful hijack incident and had deployed a welcoming committee for them. Not that they need any since Naruto had taken care of it earlier hand.

He grinned when the bandits stepped out of the wagon next, each wrapped and gagged in ropes courtesy of the ever so kind karma. Served them right for trying to the impossible while he was nearby. It was a good thing he couldn't use Chakra, otherwise, their punishment would've been much severe than what he originally did.

Speaking of punishment, Naruto's grin contorted into a grimace when he felt a familiar presence trotting beside him.

"I've summoned a group of Royal Guards from Canterlot a little while ago," Princess Celestia declared as she followed his line of gaze. "They'll arrive here in this town shortly to escort all the passengers back safe and sound."

Naruto nodded half-heartedly at that. As curious as he was, he didn't want to question how she managed to make 'contact' with ponies that were no doubt several dozens of miles away from their current location in such a short time. Instead, he sighed. "I'm guessing you want the truth?"

Celestia quirked an eyebrow at that. "As a matter of fact, yes, I do want the truth." The orange stallion flinched at the tone of voice the Alicorn used. It wasn't exactly stern but it wasn't a pleasant one either. "But now is not the suitable time and place for that. Let us go back to Canterlot first."

"Go back to Canterlot? How? The train aren't exactly operatio—" Naruto stopped midsentence when Celestia's horn glowed yellow. "…Oh right, magic. Duh."

Using her magic, the Alicorn princess teleported them back to Canterlot in barely less than a second. The spell was almost similar to the Body Flicker technique the shinobis always like him always used except it was too flashy for comfort.

To avoid any unwanted attention, Celestia took the precaution of teleporting the two of them in a shaded alleyway somewhere deep in Canterlot. The blonde was eternally grateful for that. The last thing he need was a group of pastel-colored ponies to come in and swarm them again, further worsening the thick tension between them.

As Naruto took a peek outside the alleyway, he realized that the alleyway the Alicorn teleported them into was in fact right across to the very shop where he previously were in. Heck, if he looked closer, the blonde can actually see Shining seemingly engaged in an intense argument against the shopkeeper through the glass window. While he should've been concerned with what they were fighting for, he doubt it was anything of utmost importance if Cadence's amused and Twilight' deadpanned expression behind him were of any indication.

Still hidden in the shadows, Celestia asked, "Judging from the look of things, I'm assuming Shining and the rest aren't aware of your unorthodox trip?"

He sighed once again. "No, they don't," To be honest, he wasn't aware of the trip either considering how he only acted on a whim but he doubt Celestia will acknowledge such pathetic excuse.

"Then you should return to them for now," She stated with a brief nod. "As much as I want to have my answers as soon as possible, I still have plenty of royal duties to attend to this afternoon. We'll discuss about this later at midnight once I'm available. I believe Shining had told you where my resting chamber is, correct?"

Naruto nodded. It wasn't that hard to find considering how it was located in the northern part of the castle and has a door that were comparable to the throne room entrance itself.

"It is settled then. I'll see you back at the castle," Not giving him any time to argue, Celestia flared her magic once more and disappeared in a burst of golden light, leaving the orange stallion all alone in the alley before he could come with an argue.

Alone, Naruto sighed as he trotted towards the store. Guess there really is no avoiding it this time, huh?

I've said it before, I'm gonna say it again, Kami hates you regardless whatever dimensions you're in.

Once again, he chose to ignore the bijuu's remark in favor of the building in front of him. Putting on a happy façade, the blonde opened the door and marched back into the store.

"Hey everypony, what did I miss?"

…

Courtesy of the magical powers bestowed upon the white Alicorn ruler, nightfall has once again blanket over the magical land of Equestria. Not only did this allow its pony inhabitants to take a break from their daily hectic, the curfew also served to provide them with the opportunity to reflect on their everyday life.

"Well, here we are,"

Naruto let out a long sigh as he gazed at the door in front of him. Today has been proven to be quite a tired day for him and he was confident that it would escalate further once he told Princess Celestia the truth later on.

You sound like you're about to attend your own funeral or something.

That's because I am.

Hm, point well made.

"Here goes nothing." Raising a hoof, he knocked on the door several times. For the first few seconds, there was no response from the other side and just when he thought she was unavailable, he heard Celestia's voice from inside.

"Who is it?"

Naruto cleared his throat at that. "It's me, Naruto."

Another moment of silence lingered by before the door opened on its own, in which he assumed was accomplished by her magic. "Come on in."

Glancing around, he arrived at a bedroom that was practically several times fancier than his own. With a cozy operational fireplace that casted the whole room in a comfortable lighting, a huge shelf that occupied numerous hardback books and tomes, a circular cushion in the centre of the room that was lusher than the one he slept on, a large wardrobe that might as well been a huge door in disguise and an empty brass birdcage hanging by a thin pole at the corner.

An animal keeping an animal as a pet. Kurama snickered. How amusing.

Unaffected by his attempt at a joke, Naruto was more occupied with the Alicorn that was sitting at the center of the room, calmly sipping on her cup of tea with her eyes closed.

"Good evening, Naruto, I hope you're ready to explain yourself." She remarked as she put the cup back onto its saucer. "And I sincerely hope you don't leave out any minute details this time."

"Princess Celestia, I can explain—" The blonde shut his lips when Celestia raised a hoof in a halting motion.

"Not yet, let us wait for the others to arrive first."

Others? What others? He thought with a small frown. I don't like where this is going.

And he had every right to feel that way as not too after she said so, he heard more knockings coming from the door accompanied by the familiar squeak of the wooden door opening.

"You called us, Princess Celestia?" Cadence inquired as she opened the door slightly and peeked through. "Naruto?"

"Cadence?" He responded back. "What are you doing here?"

"I could ask the same thing for you." The Alicorn of Love replied as she stepped into the room. "Princess Celestia called us, saying that she had something important to talk about."

He nodded but then blinked. "Wait, what do you mean by 'us'?"

"Naruto's in there?"

If he was confused before, he was more confused now when he found out that Cadence wasn't alone. Shining Armor and Twilight stepped into the room as well. Both looking as equally as confused as he was. He glanced at Celestia.

"I believe they have the right to hear what you have to say as well." Celestia acknowledged his unspoken question.

Naruto pondered on that before nodding in defeat. "I guess they do." On the bright side, at least he didn't have to repeat himself all over again.

"What do you mean, Princess Celestia, hear what exactly?" Cadence asked in confusion.

"Yeah, what's going on here?" Shining added his two-cent.

Facing all the four ponies, the blonde took a moment to clear the forbidding lump in his throat before he spoke, "The truth is, I didn't actually tell you guys the whole story."

"You didn't?" The three said in unison.

"First off, my name is still Naruto Uzumaki," He remarked, earning him inquisitive eyebrows from the three ponies. "Secondly, I'm actually not a pony to begin with."

"What?" If they were expecting an answer, it certainly wasn't that. "What do you mean you're not a pony?"

"Before this, I was actually a human…whom I assume you ponies aren't familiar with," Judging from the puzzled expressions on the four ponies muzzles; he'll take that as a yes. "Anyway, I came from an entirely different world inhabited by these humans with the aid of a space-travelling Ninjutsu I made – that's an equivalent to the magic spells in this world." He added the last part when the purple foal raised a hoof.

"As to how I managed to create and utilize such a thing, I'm actually a shinobi which are essentially humans that are gifted with a means of unique energy called Chakra that allows us to do exceptional abilities such as walking on water surface and climbing on walls." He finished. "Any questions?"

As soon as he finished his explanations, the blonde unconsciously found himself bracing for the incoming verbal lash in which he wouldn't blame them if they really did. Best case scenario: He might be kicked out of the castle with his head intact. Worse case scenario: He might be sent to rot inside the prison for his entire life. He greatly hoped it wasn't the latter.

He had no idea how wrong he was.

"So let me get this straight," Shining began with an unreadable expression on his muzzle. "You're a visitor from a different dimension. You're not a pony but instead a…human that are capable of using these Chakra power."

"Yep, that sums up pretty much everything."

"That is the most…" Shining spoke. "…awesome thing I've ever heard in my life!"

"Huh?" The blonde blurted out though it fell deaf on anypony's ears, each too occupied with their different reactions to notice.

"I knew it!" Twilight exclaimed as she hopped around the orange stallion like the excited little filly she was. "I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! I knew he wasn't a normal pony!"

"Wha—?"

"You never cease to amaze me, Naruto." Cadence remarked. "First it was you rescuing Twilight and now this? If I weren't in love with Shining Armor so much, I'd probably fell in love for you by now."

"Wait, hold on just a moment here," Naruto asked in disbelief. "You ponies aren't mad with me?"

They looked at him like he had just grown a second head. "Mad at you? Why would we? It's not like you did anything bad." Princess Mi Amore Cadenza interjected. "If anything, we're just angry that you didn't tell us about this from the very beginning."

Grinning, Shining hooked a hoof behind the blonde's neck. "Yeah dude, I know you're hiding something but I honestly didn't expect you to hide that kind of thing!" He happily agreed with his lover.

Naruto averted his gaze to Princess Celestia for that. "Does that I mean that I won't be kicked out the castle?" He asked a little too expectantly.

"No, of course not. Why would I do such a thing?"

The orange stallion opened his lips and was just about to answer that question when a random thought popped into his mind. "Wait a second, how come you're not surprised of me coming from another world?"

Princess Celestia simply smiled at the question. "Tell me, Naruto, have you heard of the types of ponies in this world?" She asked and he responded with a shake of his head. "In this world, the ponies are divided into three major race, they are Unicorn, Pegasus and Earth Pony."

"First off, the Unicorns are ponies gifted with a horn that allows them to utilize magic for various purposes such as teleportation and telekinesis." To emphasize her point, Celestia's horn gave off an ethereal glow and she prompted the teapot on the table to pour some tea into two of the teacups.

"Secondly, the Pegasi are ponies that can be easily identified by their wings." She spread her majestic white wings to prove her point. "Though they can't wield magic as much as the Unicorns, they possessed passive magic that allows them to do feats such as controlling the weathers and walking on clouds." Naruto opened his lips to say something about that but decided against it.

"Last but not least is the Earth Pony. Contrary to the first two, this particular pony race cannot wield magic as directly as the first two races but they have a strong connection to nature that makes them as equally as important, not only that but they're also granted with physical strength that surpassed the Unicorns and Pegasi combined."

"Do you know what race you're a part of?"

The blonde instinctively looked at his newly-profound body. He had no spiraling horns on his forehead nor a pair of wings (which oddly enough, he had no qualms with) so it can mean one thing only.

"I'm…an Earth Pony?" Celestia nodded. "Ok but that doesn't answer the question."

"Remember what you said to me the first time we met?"

Puzzled by the sudden question, Naruto fell into a deep silence as he tried to retrace back what he said on that particular day. Once he did however, he immediately facehoofed himself. "I told you that I got here by a teleportation spell I used."

"Exactly," Celestia confirmed, an amused smile slowly creeping up to her face. "It was from that very moment I knew you were hiding something. Though that does beg the question: What will you do if I did ask you to leave the castle?"

"I…I've no idea actually," He spoke earnestly. "I'd probably just wander around Equestria actually and learn things as I go along. Unless, of course, you kicked me out of Equestria. Then I'd probably be screwed."

"I see…" Celestia commented half-heartedly, smoothly ignoring the last remark. "While I do not question your survival capability considering the things you have done, I doubt that would still be a safe action to do especially in your circumstances."

"Well, it's not like I have anything else to do."

"There is another way though," The Alicorn pointed out, effectively garnering his attention at once. "You can continue living here in the castle instead. It may not look like it but the castle actually has plenty of job vacancies in most of the departments. I am sure we can find a job that suits you while you stay here."

"That's a good idea and all but I'm not sure if I'd find a job that suits me." Naruto deadpanned. "I'm not good with hospitality in case you're wondering."

"Oh, I beg to differ," She retorted vaguely. "In case you haven't noticed it yet, there is one particular role that suits you just fine. One that employs your combat skills to a good use."

Shining suddenly gasped, prompting everypony to avert their gaze to him in utter puzzlement. "Princess Celestia, you don't mean that, do you?" He asked in surprise, finally getting what the princess was trying to hint at.

"Why not? I don't see any problems with him being a part of it."

"Uh, be a part of what exactly?"

"Yeah Shining, don't leave us in the dark like that." Cadence added with a frown. "What are you two talking about?"

Said Alicorn and her Lieutenant exchanged furtive glances with each other before returning their attention back to the blonde, this time with knowing smile and grin plastered on their respective faces.

"Naruto Uzumaki, how would you like to consider joining the Canterlot Royal Guard?"

And that concludes the fifth chapter! Don't forget to review the story once you're done reading. Remember, more reviews means more updates, more updates means more reviews and the cycle goes on.
