Hellllllooo everyone! So, I decided to take a shot in the Naruto fandom. I had just recently started watching the show and enjoy the crap out of it. So don't kill me if something doesn't make sense. I got this idea from watching Naruto and Wizard of Oz and decided to combine the two sooooo really, I would APPRECIATE if you gave this story a chance and would really appreciate it more if you shoot me a review. I also take ideas into consideration. Hell, maybe your ideas are better than mine lol. ANYWAY please enjoy the first chapter of Wizard of Konoha
Disclaimer! I own nothing. If I did, I would make Kakashi more pervy and Sasuke less up tight, but what do I know?
The streets of Konoha were buzzing with life on this fine day. Everyone went on with their business without a care in the world. Fire country was at peace now and every person seemed to beam with happiness. A trio of shinobi strolled down the street where one blonde hair man with whiskers grinned like a maniac. One raven haired man looked pissed off at the world while another with untamable silver hair with his trademark Icha Icha Paradise book in his hand. It was the oddest trio that anyone had ever seen.
"Oh man! It's such a gorgeous day outside! The people are friendly, the birds are singing, the sun is shining! Sakura-chan is so nice for inviting us ov—"
"Hn. This is stupid. We should be training. Not going to hangout." The raven haired man spat. Besides Naruto's incessant blabbering, the start of the day was not going his way. All he wanted to do today was go to the old training ground and work out some techniques. However, his ex-sensei had run into him, pure coincidence he presumed. Kakashi had told him about Sakura inviting him over to hang out and watch some movies. Of course Kakashi had politely declined saying he was busy, having to save the world and such. And of course, Sakura had insisted and could not turn her down then. Kakashi, being so selfless, had also asked her if he wanted to bring Naruto and Sasuke. Sakura then beamed with glee and asked if he would grab her other teammates and bring them over.
So, Kakashi had rustled up his other two ex-students and were currently taking their time to Sakura's abode. Naruto was excited to be hanging out with his teammates again. It has been awhile since he has seen them. His time was always preoccupied with Hokage training. Tsunade has been "mean", according to Naruto. All the paper work was annoying, but he could handle it. Giving out missions was confusing, but he could handle it. Running Konoha smoothly, terrified him beyond belief. He would not call himself a leader in his eyes. Sure, when his friends and other shinobi needed him the most, he would take it upon himself to take care of business. But running this village was not a matter of life and death. Naruto always had this nagging feeling in the back of his mind that he would never be a great Hokage like the past Hokages. Naruto internally sighed and decided to put this nasty thought on the back burner so it could come back later to cloud his thoughts.
"Kakashi-sempai! You better not be reading porn at Sakura's! You know how she hates those books!" Naruto joked. Sasuke kept his stoic face in place as Kakashi switched his emotionless gaze towards Naruto and slightly glared.
"It is not porn. For the millionth time, it's romance." Kakashi argued.
"Hn. It's smut." Sasuke deciding to put in his input. Naruto put on a cheeky smile.
"Romance. Here let me read you a couple of lines—"
"NOOOOOO!" Both teammates shouted; earning some weird glances from onlookers. Kakashi sighed and kept on reading. He could see from the corner of his eye that both men had visibly relaxed. Kakashi had heard Naruto mumble 'thank Kami'. The ex-teacher shook his head. 'What would I have done with my life if these books had never existed…?' Kakashi had pondered the thought and shuddered. He probably would have been either sleeping or sitting on his couch in his apartment staring at a wall. No, he would have not enjoyed that. Even though he is re-reading his favorite book of the Icha Icha series for the millionth time; it still never got old. Perhaps even better from the last time he read it. He could not focus on the same line he was reading over and over again. All he pondered about was, what if, in a crazy dimension, this series had existed but he could not read? Kakashi wanted to punch himself in the face for even considering that kind of thought. He dwelled no more on that thought and moved on to his favorite thing in the entire world.
Finally, after taking forever to get to Sakura's house. Which was not too extravagant but quaint enough to be happy. Naruto quickly ran up to her door in excitement and hit the door with such force, Kakashi and Sasuke thought it would have broke in half.
"SAKURA-CHANNNNN! YOUR FAVORITE THREE MEN IN THE ENITRE WORLD ARE HERE! LET US IN OR SASUKE WILL BLOW YOUR HOUSE DOWN!" Naruto smiled brilliantly as he heard laughter from inside the house as well as snickering from Kakashi. Sasuke on the other hand, was not amused.
"Dobe….I will not hesitate to kill you." Sasuke glared. If looks could kill. Naruto would have been dead years ago. After a minute or two, the door opened to present a pink haired kunoichi. Her emerald green eyes showed happiness and excitement. Her smile was almost as big as Naruto's.
"Hey guys! I'm glad all of you made it! Considering I asked Kakashi to bring you guys over well over two hours ago, but it's fine because I had counted on that!" Sakura motioned them into her house. Which she must have cleaned because it is spotless and smelled like cleaning supplies. Naruto waltzed right in with a Kakashi in tow. Sasuke hesitated for a moment, ONLY for a moment, but Sakura had a knack of catching him. Without hesitation from her, she opened and closed her arms around his neck initiating a hug. Sasuke was used to her hugs. He held his arms numbly at his sides like he always did. Not that the raven haired man would ever admit this to another soul, but he kind of, sort of, likes her hugs. They were always warm and inviting. She finally released her grip and held on to his shoulder smiling at him. He stared blankly before his eyesight shifted to what Naruto and Kakashi were doing. Naruto and Kakashi were both making kissy faces at him.
Sasuke glared visibly and Sakura whispered, "They are totally making kissy faces right now aren't they?" Sasuke merely nodded where Sakura quickly spun around to see only Naruto making the kissy faces where Kakashi was hiding behind his book. Sakura skipped over to behind the two jokesters and put her arms around their shoulders.
"So, you guys think it's pretty funny to make fun of people hmm?" Naruto and Kakashi visibly stiffened and saw an evil smirk appear on their teammate's face. Quickly she knocked the two of them upside the head with such force; both men had their faces smashed into the ground. Both men groaning from pain had resumed to lay there with no shame. Sasuke smirked and walked over to the pink haired kunoichi.
"Nice going, but I would have done something entirely different." Sakura rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, I'm sure killing them would have been WAY better." Sasuke smirked a little more.
"Anyway, if you two are done being idiots. I made food and picked out a movie we could watch." Kakashi was already sitting on her couch reading his favorite book while Naruto was already sitting at her kitchen table with chopsticks.
"Well! What are we waiting for!? BRING OUT THE RAMEN!" Naruto brought his fist down the table demanding his food now. Sakura turned to glare at him.
"First of all, I am NOT your damn servant. Second, I didn't make ramen so you are shit out of luck buddy boy. Lastly, STOP BANGING ON EVERYTHING." Naruto made a groan of annoyance as he slouched back into his seat.
"Whatever. What's this movie we will be watching? ARE WE WATCHING SAW AGAIN?" Naruto quickly perked up at the thought of watching a scary movie. Sasuke and Kakashi both perked up and looked at Sakura. Sakura just looked horrified.
"HELL NO. NEVER AGAIN. THAT WAS THE WORST MOVIE EVER! I don't feel like hiding underneath a blanket again!" Sakura shuddered. Kakashi resumed reading his book while Sasuke resumed leaning against the wall with his eyes closed. Naruto let out an annoyed sigh.
"Man, I just can't win today." Sakura shook her head.
"Well I AM SO SORRY if this isn't the hangout you wanted!"
"Sakura-chan. What is the movie feature we will be watching?" Kakashi asked. Even though it looked like he wasn't interested, he needed his curiosity satiated.
"Well, I've actually never seen it myself. Remember when I went on that escort mission in Kirigakure? Well, I had some time to kill so; I went to different stores to peruse and stumbled upon this little ole film." Sakura grinned whilst holding the movie up. Before she knew what happened, someone quickly grabbed, not too gently, out of her grasp.
"Hey! Easy with that! It's old!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Wizard of Konoha?" Sasuke questioned with a quirked eyebrow.
"Hmm. How intriguing. It sounds like a must see film." Kakashi murmured from the couch with his book still in his face.
"Sounds stupid. Is Saw still an option?" Naruto asked. The two other men gazed at Sakura remaining hopeful.
"No. Shut up. We're watching this. Now all of you sit your asses down and let's get this show on the road!" The three men groaned and made their way to the couch and plopped down.
"Kakashi! Put that porn away! No porn while watching the movie!" Sakura lectured. Kakashi put the book away with an annoyed sigh. Naruto snickered with Sasuke smirking. Sakura went to go open the cover the movie and something fell out on the floor.
"Hm. What is this…?" Sakura questioned while the boys looked over with tilted heads.
"Aw. Just throw it away. It's probably something about pirating the movie or something." Naruto quickly snatched the paper away to look at it. However, he could not read the language on the paper. "What the hell? What's with these random symbols? Looks like gibberish to me." He kept rotating the piece of paper until it made sense but to no avail. Kakashi then snatched the paper away from Naruto and studied the piece of parchment.
"Hmmmm. I've seen this type of writing before, however I can not place where or when I have." Rubbing his masked chin with his hand, looking sternly at the piece of paper as if though it would set on fire. Sasuke then took his turn in trying to decipher the lettering. With a faint shake of his head, he turned to grab the movie case and looked it over.
"C'mon guys, this isn't a murder case! It's a movie for crying out loud! Naruto is probably right. Let's just sit down and watch the movie, ok?" With the consent of two of the three men she went to put the movie in the player. Sasuke quickly captured her wrist.
"I don't know Sakura. I don't like this. It doesn't feel right." Sasuke looked peeved, but Sakura brushed him off.
"Oh relax Sasuke. What's the worst that can happen?" She giggled as Sasuke let go of her wrist. He sighed and went to sit on the couch. "Alrighty fellas! We are set and ready to go!" Sakura plopped down between Sasuke and Kakashi and grabbed for the remote. "And pressing play, now!" As Sakura hit play over and over again, the screen froze. Eventually the television went black. All of the lights in her house flickered on and off. Finally the room was shroud in darkness. All of them got up and tried to turn on lights and flicked switches on and off but nothing.
"Okay this is ridiculous. I can't see anything! Someone try opening the shades or the door or SOMETHING." Sakura put up her hands to try and touch something. She finally felt something fleshy and warm. She put her other hand up and felt a face. Sakura began squeezing and pinching.
"Um, Sakura? Stop touching me." Kakashi pleaded. She awkwardly laughed and muttered an apology. She felt him grab her hand and lead her along. It felt like ages until she finally found the door. However, when she opened the door, she didn't expect to find more darkness. She lost Kakashi's grip wondering where he went.
"Guys? This isn't funny. If this is some kind of sick joke, I am in no mood to laugh!" Sakura felt a chill go up spine. She was officially freaked out. "Naruto!? Sasuke?! Kakashi?! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS?" Only silence answered. She continued to walk around hoping to find something until she heard a faint whisper pass by her ear. It happened again on her other side.
"Who's there? Come out and fight! Chicken-shit!" Nothing. She kept hearing quiet whispers that wouldn't cease. Her anxiousness getting the best of her. She ran around swinging at anything that got in her way. Sakura felt like she was lost in this pitch blackness. She ran and ran finding it strange that she was still in her house and not running into one thing? 'What the fuck is going on!' Fear crept into every inch of her body. Still running, she had no idea where she was going.
Finally, a light appeared. A very dim and tiny source of illumination appeared ahead of her. In an instant, she bolted for that light hoping it would never go out. The light was getting bigger and bigger. The source of exit seemed like a giant white hole and Sakura was hesitant in stepping through but if it got her out of that darkness; she would gladly dive in head first.
Once she stepped through, bright colors attacked her eyes and immediately felt out of place. "Oh my, I don't think I'm in Konoha anymore…"
