Welcome to Séance City! This idea just came to me while I was thinking about my favorite dead characters of Naruto. (Damn you Kishimoto!) Anyway, Here is the beginning and as the story proceeds, I'll have different spirits coming in with different people to summon them! Enjoy!

Séance City
The Beginning
Naruto was in his favorite place in the whole world. You guessed it, Ichiraku's Ramen Shop. He was wolfing down bowls of noodles while the pile of empty bowls next to him continued to grow. He wasn't too worried about his wallet today because Hinata had offered to treat him. Said girl was currently sitting next to him, staring worriedly at the stacked bowls. But inside, she was happy to have this time with him. Meanwhile, Naruto was about to order another bowl when he overheard something strange from the couple beside him. There was an orange haired guy and a black haired girl. Both were wearing a strange black outfit.
"Rukia, we have to try it!" said the orange haired guy. But the girl, who must have been Rukia, didn't seem very interested.
"No way Ichigo. I don't believe in séances." she said without even looking at him.
"Come on! Please?" Rukia turned to him, and judging by the look on her face, she was going to yell but she stopped herself.
"Oh you know what? Forget it. I'll do this stupid little séance but then you have to leave me alone!" she snapped. Ichigo nodded happily. By now Naruto was very interested. He tapped Ichigo on the shoulder.
"Yeah?" he turned. Naruto smiled at him.
"What's a séance?" he asked innocently. Hinata turned in their direction too.
"You don't know?" Ichigo seemed very eager to gab about it and so he did. "A séance is a special ritual that can call the dead back to Earth!"
"What? That's impossible! No one can bring the dead back to life!" Naruto felt that this guy was playing a prank on him. But Ichigo shook his head.
"Not that way. It just calls back the person's spirit from the afterlife until the end of the séance." he explained.
"Oh. Then what's the point?" Naruto was a bit disappointed. Ichigo scratched his head.
"Well… have you ever imagined how tragic it would be if you wanted to say something important to someone but couldn't because he or she died before you got the chance? By performing a séance, you can talk to that person as if he or she were alive again!"
"I see!" Naruto broke into a smile. Hinata raised an eyebrow.
"S-so h-how is th-this r-ritual p-performed?" she asked. Ichigo was about to speak but then he began to rummage around in his pocket. He pulled out a black book.
"Séance for Dummies." was written on the cover. Ichigo handed it over to Naruto.
"Explaining it is a bit of a headache so you can keep that. I don't need it anymore. I can always use the internet." Just then Rukia stood up, handed the old man some money and began to walk out.
"Come, Ichigo. We've got that, that er… science?"
"Séance." he corrected.
"Right. Let's go." Ichigo waved at Naruto and Hinata before speeding off after Rukia.
"Wait, what's an internet?!" Naruto called after him, but he was already out of earshot. Naruto shrugged. Then he turned to Hinata with a huge grin on his face.
"Guess what we're doing today, Hinata!" Hinata sighed. Yet another strange experience with Naruto. Ah well, as long as she was around him, she was happy. She paid the whopping bill, trying not to think about it and they exited the shop. Naruto had started reading as they walked through the street. The sun was shining strongly, suggesting the entrance of summer. The city was generally full of life and it was just another good day in Konoha.
"It says here that at least two people are needed for the séance to be successful." said Naruto, startling Hinata a bit.
"N-Naruto a-are you s-s-serious? Th-things l-like th-that don't e-exist." she said. Naruto gave her a glance.
"Maybe, but let's just try it anyway alright? It'll be fun and besides, we don't have anything better to do." Hinata shrugged. But she decided not to object.

"N-Naruto…Th-this i-is w-weird…" Hinata glanced around nervously as Naruto drew an intricate pentagram around her. They were in his room, but Naruto had turned all the lights off. He just put a finger to his lips, telling her not to make a sound and continued with his work.
"There, that finishes the pentagram, now for the candles." he walked into the darkness, apparently to fetch some candles. Hinata was a little freaked out but she didn't move. Naruto had told her that it was important for her to stay within her respective space in the pentagram or something could go terribly wrong. Meanwhile Naruto returned and lit candles at regular intervals around the pentagram. Finally, he carefully stepped into a small space directly across from Hinata.
"This is the last one!" he placed a single thick white candle exactly between them.
"N-now what?" Hinata asked. Naruto pulled out a matchbox.
"Once I light this candle, we'll be able to summon a spirit of someone who has died. The séance lasts until we blow it out or it burns away completely." Naruto looked very eager. Hinata thought this was a waste of time.
"Okay, here I go!" he struck the matchstick and lit the candle. There was a few seconds of silence while Hinata wondered what was going on. Naruto blew it out again. She gave him a questioning look.
"Uh…who should we call, Hinata?" he asked sheepishly. She frowned, thought for a while and shrugged.
"Hmmmm…" he looked like he was in deep concentration. He snapped his fingers suddenly.
"Oh I know! The First Hokage!"
