Edited 8-20-15 (slightly changed the intro, follows the same concept, just more info and slightly less rushed, fixed some minor grammar errors.)

Tsunade looked down at her desk questioning how good of an idea what she was about to propose would be. With the Akatsuki closing in on the tailed beasts, there wasnt much else she could do to protect her villages jinchurikii. She read over the report again, wondering how she would explain the complex classified practice behind the mission to two young shinobi. For a moment she doubted herself and everything she had this whole idea riding on. She thought about backing out, but at that moment the door to her office opened and in popped a bright pink and bright yellow head.

"We were told you requested an audience with us, mi'lady," Sakura stated, standing infront of the desk with her cheery team mate.

"Naruto, Sakura." Tsunade decided to spit it all out at once, with no prelude. She bluntly began, "I have a very important mission for you that is far far away against different kinds of people. You may not come back. Unlike other missions, though, only the person you are helping will be able to send you back, and once your mission is complete you may choose when you return, if you want to return. Before I can tell you more, do you accept this mission?"

Naruto looked at Sakura blankly. What was going on? What kind of mission briefing was that? Sure it piqued his curiosity, but... what?

"Uh pardon us for a minute, please." Sakura said courteously before vigorously pulling Naruto out of the room. "What do you think, Naruto?" Sakura asked.

The blonde shrugged, "Seems kinda untraditional. Just calling us in and telling us that were gonna be sent away to some weird place. But I'd never turn down a mission, or my name isn't Naruto Uzamaki!"

Memories of Naruto trying to turn down many many D ranked missions flooded through Sakura's head but she just chuckled a bit. "If you say so," she agreed without much dialogue. She wasn't sure what to think, it wasn't like her teacher, or anyone in general to approach a mission this way, but she had an obligation to serve her village and it's causes. Without further ado, the duo walked back into the office.

"We accept."

"Are you two sure, once you agree, you can't turn back." She said sincerely.

"We can handle it, Believe it!" Naruto shouted excited. Sakura just nodded with a smile.

"Ok, you will be traveling to a different dimension-" Before she could finish the first sentence, Naruto interrupted.

"A different dimension?!" he shouted. Sakura said nothing, but the look on her face showed she was thinking the same thing.

Lady Tsunade cleared her throat to get the attention back on her, ignoring the interruption. "Yes. In this 'realm' if you will, there is an 'Avatar' that keeps their world in balance with a technique that they call 'bending'. The problem is that-" she was interrupted again

"Bending?! What's that?" Naruto interjected, but this was too much for a very interested Sakura, she punched Naruto, sending him flying into the wall, and a picture came crashing down from the wall onto his head. As you may assume, he didn't interrupted again.

"Thank you, Sakura, I was about to do that myself." Tsunade smiled and Sakura returned the gesture. "Anyways," she said, dragging the word out giving Naruto a piercing stare. "There are four nations, but the 'Fire Nation' is trying to gain control of their world. This war has been going on for near a hundred years." Even Sakura couldn't help but gasp at this. "I know." Tsunade responded. "But, there is hope. Last night, the much needed stroke of fate happened. A young water bender, about your age, found the long lost avatar! But their mission will be hard and complex, and nearly impossible, but with your help, they should succeed." She finished.

"How will we meet them?" Sakura asked.

"Good question, for once" Tsunade mumbled "Aang, the young avatar, will be traveling with his companions across the world. Tomorrow morning they will arrive at the Air Temple in which Aang used to live. Unfortunately, there was a genocide while he was away and no one is left. You will meet there." For the next hour they played a question-and-answer game. By 6 o'clock, Sakura and Naruto knew a slew of forbidden jutsu, years of classified information, and everything they needed to know to defeat the 'Fire Nation'. Everything, that is, except for what 'bending' was.


"Are you two ready?" Lady Tsunade asked the next morning.

Naruto looked at his orange suitcase containing a set of orange clothes for every climate, some knives, shuriken, scrolls, other weaponry, and even- a box of condoms. Sakura looked at her suitcase which contained dresses, skirts, shirts, swimwear, a few weapons, her drawing book, and some er 'girl stuff'. The two 15-year-olds nodded their heads.

"I assume you've bid your farewells?" they simply nodded again, too nervous for words. "If no good news is heard in 3 months, you expect to see Kakashi, ok?" Once again, a simple nod. She did a variety of sacred hand motions "Realm jutsu! The world of the Avatar and Four Nations!" for the first time ever, Naruto saw someone do a jutsu during a jutsu to perform some unknown jutsu, forbidden jutsu he assumed (thats a lot of the word 'jutsu').

The world began spinning through Naruto and Sakura's eyes.


What Naruto Saw (Naruto's P.O.V)

I looked around, but I couldn't move. Everything seemed to be moving in super speed, but reverse. People were walking backwards, and I could feel the earth rotating the wrong way.

"What is happening?" Is all I could think to my self as my- the world spun in reverse. I heard voices, including mine, I seen Sakura, Kakashi, and even Sasuke, but it was only a brief second of them, and it was when we very began our ninja training over two years ago. I saw a girl that looked like a young Sakura. That's when it hit me- we were going back in time. I continued watching and saw buildings being un-built. Then I saw what I never thought I would I saw ninja, tons of them fighting the nine tail fox, but not before I saw the seal being put on, on me. Then it went further back, to before I was born, I saw a red haired woman walking into the hospital, she was clearly pregnant. Everything was fading and becoming more of a blur than before. The man with her was tall and blonde. I could faintly hear talking.

"What will we name him?" The man asked. "I know we've narrowed it down tot two, but what one?" He was trying to get her mind off the pain.

"Naruto." She said then smiled and walked into the hospital building.

I stood dumbfounded that I had just seen my parents. Then the ground shook and I felt as if I was nothing, I could feel the life literally leaving my body. I closed my eyes. Then everything was still. I was hit with bitter cold, and thought I had died. But then I opened my eyes and was shocked to be in an icy cold- temple? I looked around. Sakura laid on the ground not far form me, rubbing her head just like I was, I couldn't help but wonder what she had saw.


What Sakura Saw (Sakura's P.O.V)

I looked around as I saw the world start spinning, the grass un-growing, the leaves going into the trees, the sun and moon playing opposite day. I knew this must be the jutsu's affect. There was really nothing interesting for me to see in the past, so I just closed my eyes and waited for it to be over. But something compelled me to open them two minutes in, and I did. everything was blurry, and I knew this was my world before my time. What I saw, though, struck me with shock and surprise, there was not village, just thousands and thousands of Cherry Blossom Trees, their leaves rising and falling as time went backwards, they shrunk and shrunk until only one was left- sitting in the exact spot that my house sat. This tree was different though, it slowly shrank, showing how old it really was. My vision began fading more and more and I had to sit down, I realized how far back in time I must be and couldn't believe that I could see a time before my existence. I closed my eyes again becoming tired and drained. I felt week and as if I had been stabbed and was loosing all my blood. I thought that the jutsu failed and said my final prayers. Then I felt pricks on my skin thinking that it was safe to open my eyes because I was in the after life. I looked over and Naruto was a few feet away from me.

"Great, hes in the after life with me." I mumbled and looked around realizing we were in a temple, we had made it!

I didn't know where it had came from but I felt knowledge enter my mind.

"Be there when they name the lemur. Momo. Watch them though, you will learn" I didn't know where the knowledge had come from, perhaps Lady Tsunade, regardless of where, I listened.


A/N Ok, how was it, as you can tell it's a Naruto Avatar crossover, I haven seen many of them. I plan on posting the next chapter at hmm 3 reviews?
