Pants could be heard, as we close in on a hooded figure, holding his or her knees, gasping heaps of air. "Holy fuck, that was scary as fuck." We heard the figure exclaim.
'Be happy we even survived, Jodo.' A broken voice scolded. "Oh, shut up, Rei." The figure - Jodo - rolled her his/her chrysanthemum eyes.
A slithering hiss.
A whirling vortex opened, "Should we go in?" Jodo asked.
A mob of pitchforks and torches are seen.
Jodo quickly weighed his/her options. Going through the vortex seemed to weigh more. "Oh well, what could go wrong?"
Little did Jodo know, that this would be the adventure of a lifetime.

There were three figures, two adults, and one child. "Mizuki, don't tell him! It's against Hokages law!" One of the figures protested, his brown eyebrows furrowing.
"And what will you do about it, Iruka," A condescending smirk, "Send me to the time out corner?" The one with white hair - Mizuki - laughed cynically.
Mizuki reached behind his back, pulling out a larger that average shuriken, throwing it towards the smaller figure with much force. The brown haired male - Iruka - shunshined to the frail blonde.
As the blade neared, Iruka was in front of the blonde, and the sound of metal impaling flesh was heard.
"I-Iruka-Sensei," The blonde stuttered, "Why'd y'do that?"
Iruka smiled, albeit painfully, and said with a broken voice, "N-Naruto," Blood leaked down his chin, "Its-"
Iruka's eyes rolled into the back of his head, and his face contorted into a gruesome scene, his nose suddenly on his forehead, his eyes popped out, and his tongue falling out of his mouth.
"It's all your fault." A wicked grin from Iruka's left cheek.

Naruto sat up from his bed, gasping, his lungs on fire. He suddenly started coughing, sweat dripping down his neck, sealing itself into the collar of his shirt.
Tears ran down his face, ugly sobs coming out of his mouth.
He quickly wiped of the tears, not wanting to be weak.
Naruto looked around his room, or his and Sasuke's room, as he should put it, and glanced at the window, noticing the curtains pulled, so the light shines through.
A knock on the door, "Naruto-kun? Breakfasts ready, dear." He heard his surrogate mother say through the door.
"O-okay, ma. Just lemme get ready." Footsteps slowly backed away from the door, then leading down the hallway.
