Naruto: Through the Looking Glass

Satori, Hanako and Junshin all walked down a dirt road on their way back to Konoha from a mission to the Sun Country. They were only a few miles away from the gates.

"You know who I haven't seen in awhile?" Satori asked.

"Who's that?" Junshin asked.

"Naruto." Satori replied.

"As a matter of fact you're right." Hanako said.

"It seems like ever since he came back with Jiraiya, he's been going on more missions than we have and his have been a lot more interesting. He comes back, then he leaves to go rescue Gaara, comes back, then goes after that bastard Sasuke, comes back, does some training for his new technique, then goes to help Shikamaru's team to fight those two bastard Akatsuki members, comes back, heals for a bit due to his new technique having unexpected side effects and now his team and Hinata's team have gone after Uchiha Itachi. That kid is going to get burned out one of these days." Satori said.

"So why do you not like Sasuke other than him being a traitor?" Junshin asked.

"Well, a few years ago when he defected. He left the village with a group known as the Sound Four. While they were transporting him back to Orochimaru they encountered Raido and my father. Those Sound bastards almost killed Raido and my father. If Shizune and Tatami Iwashi hadn't been there they would've died. So thanks to that bastard, my father almost died. That's why I don't like him."

"I see." Junshin said. "So is Tenten seeing any…?"

"Stay away from my sister." Satori cut in.

Hanako laughed. "Satori is a bit protective of his sister."

"I see that." Junshin said with a bit of laughter in his voice.

Hanako and Junshin stopped when they saw Satori's hand somewhat outstretched. They looked up ahead to see what Satori was worried about. There was a wall of fog in front of them.

"It's fog, so what." Hanako said.

"Yeah but it hasn't been humid at all today. Nor has it been raining nor is it after sunset."

"What does that have to do with it?" Hanako asked.

"Fog forms when water vapor in the air at the surface begins to condense into liquid water. Fog normally occurs at a relative humidity of 100. Some fog forms after sunset because of the cooling land." Satori said.

"So what do you want us to do, Mr. Dictionary?" Hanako asked.

"I'm not sensing any of those fog breathing Mist Ninjas so I guess we'll be alright but stay cautious." Satori warned.

The three Chuunins cautiously stepped through the fog. The fog was only a few feet thick and they passed through it without any problem.

"There's nothing abnormal about that fog." Junshin said.

"Yeah but something isn't right." Satori said. "I'll feel better once we get back home."

The three of them continued walking and saw that the Konoha gates were in sight. Satori noticed there was something odd about the gates. Then he realized that the odd thing about them was that they were closed. The gates were never closed only during times of war were they closed and to Satori's knowledge they weren't at war with anyone.

"Hold up, you two. Something isn't right."

"What now." Junshin asked.

"The gates are closed, don't you find that odd?"

"Now that you mention it, yeah that is odd."

The three of them crept closer to the gates.

"Well, I guess we're going up." Satori said.

He and his team began to walk up the wall. When they reached the top of the wall they saw something they didn't expect to ever see; Konoha in ruins.
