Away in a dungeon…
Looking down the narrow hallway Naruto didn't exactly know where he was or what to expect. He was being dragged by an annoyed Itachi and Kisame farther and farther into what appeared to be the Akatski's lair. The smell of the place was that of dampness and the only lighting he could see was the lanterns hanging from the wall giving the place an ery look. As the sealed doors crawled past Naruto started to remember what had gotten him into this mess.
Flashback
"Naruto run! With all of the Akatski here we have no hope of winning!!!" Jiraya shouted as he ducked a blow from both Sasori and Kisame.
"Why so you can have all the fun?!" said Naruto cocky as ever.
"Naruto I'm serious! This is a fight you can't win!" Jiraya was getting more and more fed up with his students inability to listen to orders and this was not the time or place to be goofing off.
Naruto was just about to call back another remark when he looked over to see that Itachi had his Sharingan out and was ready to go. Unfortunatly it had been a few seconds to late, Naruto fell to the ground and all he could hear as he started to loose conciousness was his worried sensei calling his name and then a shriek of pain. When he woke up he was just past the entrance to the hallway that the trio now traveled.
Snaping himself out of the trance the blond looked around to find his captors unsealing one of the door and before he relized what was going on Itachi had thrown him into the small room. As the Uchiha closed the door Naruto felt something clamp around his ankle. It was a cuff made up of metal and chakra and it didn't give him much slack for moving around. Looking around his new enclosure the Kyuubi vessel didn't see the girl in one of the corners of the cell, but when he did he noticed that she was strangly farmilliar. She was about the same age as him if not a little older and he could plainly see that she had been there a while. She had on a tattered long sleve button up shirt that was completely unbuttioned to reveal a worn tang top, she also had on a shabby pair of jeans and no shoes. Relizing someone was there the young girl looked up, her tangled brown hair fell into her face as she looked over the new arrival with amythist eyes.
"Who are you?" she asked with a casual expression on her face.
"Naruto Uzumaki, and you?" he replied.
"My name is Naomi Rai."
