Disclaimer - I don't own either Ranma1/2, nor do I own Naruto (not so 1/2). I do however wish I owned them both, then I wouldn't be stuck working at this dead end job.

Jonakhensu Response - Well if you think about it, Kiba isn't all that weak. When he lost to Naruto, it was a fluke incident that Naruto farted when Kiba was behind him. Sure he looks a bit weak when compared to TWO level 2 cursed seal opponents, but think about it. He lived. They didn't. Sure Kankuro helped, but I feel he did well in both strength and intelligence.

keichan2 Response - I love a good bashing as well, when I take my time out of Akane bashing. However, there's a small problem. I like Ranma / Shampoo crossovers all the same,... doesn't mean I like the amazons though lol. As for the flask,... let's just say he has other means for it to be useful.

Nysk Response - Oh you will see more of them,... after this chapter or during, I haven't fully figured it out yet. Since I did promise to almost double the size, it will probably be THIS chapter that they appear again, maybe in the end. Ranma's encounter with Mousse,... you will be disappointed. That is all I will say to this right now.

FalseExact Response - It is indeed interesting isn't it? . I'm going to add a bit of Tsubasa Chronicles, and Ah! My Goddess into the mix. It will help to, minorly, explain the sudden comprehension of Ranma's jutsu learning, as well as provide a gateway in the future. As to going back to Naruto's world,... in the long run, YES.

Last Time on The Terrible Trio -

Sneering down at the woman, Kiba allowed a vicious smile to envelope his face, followed by barking from his coat "Yea,... let's kill this bitch" Seeing her shaking from the amount of power Kiba was beginning to radiate, Cologne quickly got to her feet and ran away, causing him to bust out laughing "What a weak bitch,... all talk and no action" He grinned at Ranma and walked toward the group, his hands on his head "So,... what'd I miss?"

now,... ON WIT DAS SHOW! (meh)

------------------------- The Terrible Trio ----------------------------

Ranma watched Kiba walking toward them, and offered a small smile at the act that just happened "Never knew you had it in you Kiba, what was that about?"

Stopping in front of them, Kiba snorted before unzipping his coat revealing a snarling Akamaru "That lady stunk of cats, pigs and ducks. Akamaru doesn't like two of the three. So basically, since we've grown up together, I don't like them either.

Chuckling a bit, before playfully rustling Kiba's hair, Ranma shook his head "That's both good and bad. The cat I can understand. But for her to have pig smell on her can only mean Ryouga. That would explain how he became so strong in so little time." Seeing their curious looks, Ranma shrugged "Before I left, I could have walked all over him without breaking a sweat. But this time was a little different. Sure it was easy, but that was because of the Hiraishin and the Raikiri jutsu's." Taking a deep breath, and releasing a sigh, Ranma shook his head sadly "That means that Ryouga plays a part in her so called plans. The duck though,... has me a bit worried"

Taking her place to Ranma's right, Anko playfully wrapped her arms around Ranma's waist and pulled herself close "Why does a duck have you worried?"

Getting slightly jealous of Anko taking Ranma's attention, Tsunade placed herself against Ranma's other side and kissed his cheek as her arms wrapped around him "That is a bit weird, even for you Ra-chan"

Blushing only a small bit, Ranma offered them both smiles before pinching their behinds, and smiled innocently at their blushing stares "Ducks don't worry me. But the fact that she smells like a duck can only mean Mousse is either involved in her plans, or he has been captured and being held for helping me get away"

Naruto frowned for a moment before sitting on the sidewalk where they were, ignoring the frowns of many passing people "So that means that the short alien person who just left, is holding your friend hostage?"

Biting back a bitter laugh, Ranma nodded "That seems like the obvious choice, but Cologne is more intelligent than that. She doesn't know that Kiba can sense smells, so she didn't expect us to know about them. But the sheer fact that they are with Cologne is a bit unsettling." Waiting a moment as he listened to the passing people's comments with a small smile, Ranma looked up "There's not much we can do right at the moment, since sneaking across the sea to China is a bit much without passports."

Anko frowned for a moment before looking into Ranma's eyes, her own dancing with lust, before responding "So we just need to visit the Hokage of this town and get travel papers. Doesn't sound so hard"

Giving Anko a small smile, before leaning down and kissing her gently on her lips, eliciting a purr from the purple haired Kunoichi, before saying "It is a bit harder than that. Ya see, Hokage's don't exist in my world" Seeing both Tsunade and Naruto frown a bit, Ranma gave them a comforting smile "There does exist and Emperor though. He is the same as a Hokage, but doesn't do any fighting. He is in a position of political power, versus physical power"

Tsunade released Ranma and stepped between the group and gave a small smile, ignoring all the lecherous looks that were being sent toward her "Then we just have to see this Emperor"

Ranma became silent for a moment before grinning "Ya know,... if I remember right, the Emperor does owe me a favor" he heard a few people scoff around him, before Ranma sneered "What the fuck, you people have been listening to our conversation non-stop since Cologne was here. WHAT DO YOU WANT!"

One of the people snorted before stepping forward, his chains swinging as he walked "I'll tell you what I want. I want them there girlies! A losing liar like you doesn't need something that pretty"

Snorting a bit, Anko released Ranma and sneered at the man "I don't know what the fuck your problem is, but your going to pay for making me release my Ranma-sama." she reached down into her pouch and twirled out a kunai, taking a ready stance "And that price is high."

The man snorted before pulling a pocket knife from his,.. pocket, and brandished it amateurly "So you wanna play knifey, huh girly? All right, but be whining to me when you get yourself cut" before he could even move, Anko was behind him with her kunai placed against his neck, drawing a small amount of blood "W-What the fuck!" As Anko whispered something into the man's ear, the man turned green before his eyes widened in terror, and took off running down the street screaming "MONSTER!"

Ranma shook his head at the action before starting down the street "This might take a few days, so we have to find a place to stay, and for cheap."

Snuggling up to Ranma's side now that the crowd was gone, Anko smiled at him, before pinching his behind in revenge "Why not sleep out under the stars. I always did find that most comfortable" She leaned against Ranma's side again and whispered into his ears "Especially on my back"

Blushing bright red, Ranma smiled nervously at the obviously horny ninja to his side, before nodding "I wouldn't mind that, but there's not a lot of places we can sleep outside here, without having the police bother us. Especially not with what your intending." Ignoring her blush as he announced that to everyone, Ranma looked to the side and saw a bank "I wonder,..." glancing at the suspicious group of ninja's, Ranma snorted before holding his hand out for them to stop "You guys wait here, I'll be right back" Without waiting for a response, Ranma stepped inside of the bank, disappearing into the group of people waiting in line.

Staring at him as he walked away, Naruto frowned "What do you think this place is?"

Seeing a couple people coming out of the building, counting money, Kiba grinned "Jeez you idiot, don't you know a mission center when you see one?" He pointed to the doors as a man walked out, counting money "You go in, get a mission, then recieve the money upfront. It seems a bit different then our own, but it's a center all it's own" He wanted to get confirmation from Tsunade, but noticed she was staring down the street, her eyes narrowed "What's wrong Hokage-sama?"

Breaking from her staring contest with the sky down the street, Tsunade shook her head "Nothing,... thought I felt a powerful chakra energy from that direction, and don't call me Hokage-sama anymore. My name is Tsunade, that's it."

Anko shrugged as she began to impatiently tap her finger against a nearby street light, getting annoyed "I'll call you Tsuna-chan just like Ranma does, if it would get him out here faster. All he has to do is take a A-ranked mission, and get back out here." Anko ignored the small bouts of laughter her group was going through, before a smile lit up on her face "Ranma-sama!"

Grinning at the energy woman as she practically jumped into his arms, as he was forced to catch her, Ranma held her close "Miss me?"

With a wicked grin, Anko pressed her lips tightly against Ranma's, letting her tongue slide into his willing mouth, before breaking it off "Does that answer your question?"

While watching Ranma turn a interesting shade of red was fun, Naruto was a bit anxious about the mission they were about to undergo "Anosa, Anosa! What type of mission did we get this time Ranma-neechan?"

Blinking as he allowed Anko down on her own feet, Ranma shot a questioning look toward Naruto "What mission are you talking about Naruto?"

Pointing to the 'mission center', Naruto grinned "I'm talking about the fact that you went into the mission center to take up a mission, so that we can get some Ryo"

Ranma followed his finger before smiling, a snort slipping past his attempts at not laughing "You think that's a mission center?" Seeing their nods, Ranma chuckled a bit more "sorry to burst your bubbles, but that is a bank. I was checking to see if my bank account was still active after being gone so long." He frowned for a minute before sighing "Unfortunately my old man cleaned it out, the minute Japan saw me as legally dead" Seeing their blank looks, Ranma allowed a small smile to appear on his face "Basically, we're back to where we started. We have no money, and nowhere to stay"

Naruto hesitated before reaching behind him, and pulling out a frog sized wallet "Ano,... if we need money that bad Ranma-neechan, we can use the Ryo I was saving for Ichiraku's month end blow out"

Patting Naruto's head gingerly, Ranma allowed a geniune smile to appear on his face as he roughed up his hair a bit "That's very kind of you Naruto-kun, however the money we use here is totally different from what you use there." He stopped for a moment, before grinning "Let me see one of your coins Naruto" Seeing him hesitate, Ranma grinned his cocky grin again "I have an idea that might get us some cash"

Handing over a couple coins, Naruto placed his wallet back into his pockets, frowning a bit "Ranma-neechan,... we're going to be okay,.. right?"

Anko released Ranma from her hold, before wrapping her arms around Naruto's body, holding him gently "We're going to be fine Naruto. If all else fails, we hunt for our food. Kami knows we're good at that"

Ranma blinked at Anko before thinking -Anko,... would make a very good mother- he blushed slightly before clearing his throat, more to banish the blush, but got their attention all the same "I'll be back again guys"

Tsunade watched Ranma walked back into the bank, a frown on her lips -Should I tell him about the aura I felt?- she was thinking for so long that Kiba was staring at her in a worried fashion "W-What?"

Tilting his head slightly as Akamaru popped his head up from inside his jacket, Kiba grinned "You blanked out there for a minute,... what were you thinking about?"

Blushing at being caught so unaware, Tsunade placed her hand on Kiba's shoulder "Nothing that a child should worry about" Seeing him about to burst a blood vessel in anger, Tsunade giggled a bit "Sorry Kiba-kun, but a woman has to have her secrets"

Ankos glanced at Tsunade for a moment, before grinning to herself from her new perch -So Tsuna-chan is worried huh,... this oughta get her to loosen up- Placing her chin on top of Naruto's head, Anko tilted her head to the side "Is it that time of the month already Tsuna-chan?"

Blinking at the question for a second, Tsunade then gripped Kiba's shoulder tightly, causing the boy to gasp in pain as he fell to one knee, his face showing utter pain "WHAT DID YOU SAY SNAKE WOMAN!"

Grinning as she seemed back to her loud self, Anko jumped from Naruto, so he wouldn't get in the middle of the fight, and took a loose stance "BRING IT ON GOLDEN OLDY!"

They both stopped and blushed when they took notice of Ranma, who had coughed to get their attention, standing in front of the bank, his arms crossed "Are you two quite done? Because your drawing attention to yourselves"

Anko looked around them and blushed a little more as everyone was staring at them with wide eyes -Shit,... when did they start looking- she giggled lightly at their predicament, more to ease the tension than to laugh, before taking her place next to Ranma "S-So,... did you get some cash?"

Grinning at her obvious discomfort at the situation, Ranma slung his arm over Anko's shoulder and walked next to Tsunade, taking her hand into his own "Yeah,... appaerntly your coins are considered rare, considering they never existed. So for each coin I gave them, we got seventy thousand yen. So all together we got more than enough to find a hotel and eat for a few days, weeks at the most." He gave Naruto a wide grin and, after letting go of Tsunade's hand for a second, ruffled his hair playfully "Thanks for saving us Naruto,... if we ever get back to Konoha, I'll do a S ranked mission and give you all the money for it"

Both Naruto and Kiba froze at that sentence, before glancing at eat other, their thoughts the same -If we ever get back?- before following Ranma as they walked down the street.

TO BE CONTINUED-----------------

Yeah,... I don't know what I was trying to do with the thug antagonizing Anko,... but I think it was more filler. After all, Naruto isn't Naruto without filler

That being said,... sorry about the size,... but I rather put it out there with LESS content, than to leave you all thinking I'm not updating anymore. I just hit a minor writer's block (where I find reading more interesting than writing)

Next Chapter -

"Anko here. Next time on The Terrible Trio,... what a stupid name,... Me, Tsunade, Ranma, Kiba and Naruto find ourselves in a high end hotel at the curtosy of the emperor himself. It takes some doing, but Ranma gets us passports to travel toward a place called China,..." Fiddling with a Kunai, Anko stood up and glared "What the hell kind of place is this,... There are no other ninjas in the world!" She blinked before staring at something in a nearby tree "Oh wait, there's one!"

A man stepped out from a store front and stared at Anko with a open mouth "My purple haired angel! I WILL DATE WITH THEE!"

Screaming at the top of her lungs, Anko proves just how repulsive Kuno truly is "GET AWAY YOU FREAK! AND PULL UP YOUR PANTS!"
