Author's Note: So, I haven't posted an actual fanfiction in a while. I've posted oneshots and stuff, but not an actual fanfic with a plot and chapters. I'm sorry if it seems rushed at certain points, but I did my best. I hope I did a good job of keeping everyone in character, especially since I don't know what some of the characters even act like. And I apologize in advance for any spelling errors - I always get confused about the amount of U's in words like "Hyuuga".

Enjoy!

He thought that his new jutsu would impress Sakura. He thought that it would cause Sai to finally gain some real respect for him. He thought that it would help him on his way to becoming Hokage. But Naruto couldn't have been more wrong.

"Sai! Sakura!" the blonde cried, running toward his two teammates, who were currently standing outside the ramen shop.

"Yeah?" asked Sakura.

"I have something really cool to show you! It's a new jutsu!"

"It's not anything like that one which turned everyone in Konoha into a British ninja, is it?"

"Nope! Nothing like that at all! It's more like an ultra-powerful replacement jutsu!"

"Ultra-powerful replacement jutsu?" Sai raised an eyebrow. "How powerful, exactly?"

"Powerful enough to move everyone in Konoha to a destination of my choice!"

"You do realize that that will require other objects to be in whatever place we're being transported to, right?"

"I know! That's why I put all those pebbles outside the village the other day! Now can I show it to you?"

"Go ahead," Sakura and Sai answered in unison.

Naruto did the replacement jutsu. And everything went black.

"Ugh…" Tenten sat up, rubbing her head. "What just happened…?"

"I don't know, but it happened when I was right in the middle of training!" Rock Lee stood up, glaring angrily around the room. "Nobody interrupts my training! Whoever it was, I challenge you!"

"Give it a break, Lee." Neji sat up and stared around the beige-carpeted room they had ended up in. "Where exactly are we?"

"You should know, Byakugan guy," Tenten grumbled.

Neji sighed. "Byakugan." He stood up and stared around the room, or rather, through the walls of the room. "We've ended up in a completely different village, apparently."

"Huh?!" Tenten leapt to her feet. "How on earth did this happen?"

"I don't know."

"Where's Guy-sensei?" Rock Lee wondered.

The door suddenly burst open, and their sensei stood in the doorway, grinning. "Greetings, students of mine! Have no fear, I am completely okay!"

"Guy-sensei!" Rock Lee rushed over to hug him.

"Phew!" Tenten sighed. "For a second, I thought something horrible had happened to him!"

"Darn…" Neji groaned. "For a second, I thought something horrible had happened to him…"

"Akamaru~!"

"What's wrong, Kiba?" Hinata asked her teammate. She looked around. "D-does anyone know where we are…?"

"I don't care where we are!" Kiba cried. "Akamaru's missing!"

"It's OK, Kiba." Kurenai placed a hand on his shoulder. "We'll start looking for Akamaru as soon as possible."

Shino stood by the window. "…I don't think we're in Konoha anymore."

"Then… where are we?" Hinata joined her teammate by the window.

"Oh, no!" Kiba started to tear up. "What if Akamaru got left behind?"

"Don't worry." Kurenai patted her student on the shoulder. "If the rest of us ended up here, I'm sure Akamaru did, too. We just have to look for him."

Kiba wiped a tear away. "You're right. Let's start searching right now!" Without waiting for a response, he rushed out of the room.

"…Guys, we're not in Konoha." Chouji, holding an empty bag of chips, stared out of the window.

"I can see that!" Ino stood up furiously. "And I was about to take a shower! Does the world not realize the importance of hygiene?!"

"This is so troublesome…" Shikamaru groaned.

Ino whacked him in the side of the head. "You don't say?!"

"Yeah? Well I was in the middle of eating my lunch!" Chouji stated angrily. "This place had better have something to eat!"

"Are you joking?!" Ino stormed over to him. "You've eaten enough for one day!"

"But–"

"No buts! You always eat way too much!"

Shikamaru watched the two of them argue as Asuma, their sensei, tried to calm them down.

All the brunette said was: "…Troublesome…"

"…So I was in my office, minding my own business, and suddenly I'm here! What is the meaning of this? I demand an explanation!" The redhead stopped storming around the room and pointed at his older brother. "Kankurou! Explain!"

"I don't know how we got here!" Kankurou raised his hands defensively.

"Maybe it was some sort of replacement jutsu?" Temari, the oldest of the three siblings, suggested.

"Why would anybody want to transport us here, though?" Kankurou wondered.

Gaara frowned. "I don't know… but I swear, when I find them, I'm going to kill them…"

"…Waaaattteeeerrr…."

"Quit whining."

"...Water, though…"

"I said quit whining, Suigetsu!"

"…But waaaattteeeerrr…"

"Stop it, moron!" Karin yelled. "You're making Sasuke angry!"

"…I neeeed…."

"If I hear the word "water" one more time, I'm going to shove a knife up someone's ass," Sasuke growled.

"…Water…"

Sasuke glared at him. "Are you doing this on purpose?"

"Guys, he needs a drink," Jugo pointed out.

"We know," Karin snapped. "And he's not getting one."

"Why are you guys so cruel to him?" Jugo sighed.

"Because he's a moron," the other two replied in unison.

Team Hebi, otherwise known as Team Taka, had landed up in the middle of a field somewhere in the village. There were buildings visible on the other side of the field, but they were unfamiliar – they obviously weren't in Konoha, or any of the other villages they had visited for that matter.

"Well, I'm gonna take him to one of those buildings and get a glass of water," Jugo stated, picking Suigetsu up.

"Fine by me," Karin huffed.

Sasuke stared at the other three as if they were idiots. "Guys, we can't just walk into a village which is most likely full of people!"

Jugo didn't listen. He just walked off.

"What's going on?"

"It's so dark. I can't see a thing."

"Whose butt is in my face?!"

"Someone find the fuckin' light switch!"

"Shut up, Hidan!"

Click.

Zetsu sighed in relief. "Found it."

"Deidara!" Pein roared. "Get your rear end out of my face!"

"It's kind of hard to move in here, yeah," the blonde replied.

There was a loud noise, like a dog barking.

"Is that Tobi?" Sasori asked.

"No, I think it's this guy," Konan said, pointing to a large white dog who was taking up quite a lot of the space in the storage closet they were all cramped into. Akamaru barked.

Itachi gasped. "Look out! That dog belongs to a boy from Konoha!"

"It does?" Konan looked sadly at the dog. "So it's an enemy…?"

"Let's just fucking kill it," Hidan grumbled.

"No!" Tobi cried, hugging Akamaru. "Akamaru is a good dog! No killing!"

"Let's keep him as a hostage," Kakuzu suggested. "He might be useful later."

Akamaru looked around at the Akatsuki and whined.

"Naruto!" Sakura yelled. "How the hell did we end up here?!"

"I-it was an accident!" Naruto stuttered, backing away from his enraged friend.

"What village are we in?" Sai mumbled, glancing around at their surroundings. "I don't recognize this place."

"There's a sign over here…" Naruto walked over to a sign nailed to a grey stone wall and read it out loud. "It says "Welcome to the Hidden Fanfiction Village"."

"What's a fanfiction?" Sakura asked.

"It says at the bottom, "You're in one"," Naruto answered. "I don't know if that's supposed to answer your question or not…"

Team Kakashi had ended up near the entrance of the village. Well, it wasn't exactly an entrance; there weren't any gates, just stone walls. Kakashi jumped onto one of the walls.

"There's nothing but forest for miles around," he said. "Looks like we're stuck here for a while."

"We don't even know how to get to Konoha from here," Sakura added.

Naruto stared sheepishly at the ground."Sorry, guys…"

"Don't be." Sakura patted his shoulder. "It's not your fault that your jutsu went wrong."

"Naruto! Sakura! Sai! Kakashi!"

All four of them looked up to see Kiba running toward them, his teammates struggling to keep up. The dog tamer finally reached them, out of breath. "Have you guys seen Akamaru anywhere?"

"No," Sai answered. "Is he missing?"

Kiba nodded. "We woke up here, and Akamaru was nowhere in sight."

"Maybe we should look for him before we start trying to figure out a way home," Kakashi suggested.

"We'll help you look for him!" cried a voice in the background. They turned to see Asuma running toward them, followed by his team.

"So now Akamaru is missing?" Shikamaru groaned. "This whole thing just gets more and more troublesome…"

Ino slapped him. "If all you're going to say is "troublesome", you can shut up!"

"Hey, guys!" Team Guy joined them. Rock Lee turned to Naruto. "Do you know how we got to this weird place?"

"Uh, well…" Naruto rubbed the back of his head. "My replacement jutsu sort of went wrong, and…"

Lee gasped. "So it was your fault! You interrupted my training, you know!"

"Relax, Lee!" Sakura told him. "You can train against the other ninjas here if you have to."

"So, everyone else ended up here, too?" They looked upward to see the sand siblings standing on the roof of the building behind them. The three jumped down and stood next to the others.

"At least we don't have to find a way home by ourselves," Kankurou grinned. But his grin faded when he noticed Naruto squinting over his shoulder. "Uh, Naruto… what are you staring at?"

"Hey, who's he?"

Jugo stopped cold. He had been noticed! He broke into a run, trying to get away from the large group standing by the "entrance" to the village.

"Hey, stop!" Someone grabbed him by the arm. "Who are you?"

Jugo slowly turned around to see a man with white hair, a black mask covering most of his face. "I just want to get a glass of water for my friend here. There's running water in those buildings up there, right?"

"Oh, OK." Kakashi let go of his arm and pointed to a nearby building. "That one is unoccupied, as far as I know. You can probably get some water in there."

"Thanks. I'll get a glass of water, then I'll get back to Sasuke and Karin."

Naruto froze. "Wait… did you just say Sasuke?"

Jugo turned around. "Yeah. Do you know him?"

Ino gasped. "Sasuke's here? Where?!"

"More importantly…" Sakura snarled, cracking her knuckles, "who's this Karin chick?"

"That would be me." Karin walked casually toward them. "Jugo, Sasuke said that you shouldn't run off like that. He asked me to come with you."

Ino narrowed her eyes. "Are you Sasuke's girlfriend?"

"Is that really important right now?"

"It's always important," Sakura growled.

"Fine. Yes, I'm Sasuke's girlfriend."

"No you're not," Jugo pointed out.

"What do you mean? Of course I'm his girlfriend!"

"Drop the act, Karin. It's going to get you hurt," Sasuke snapped. "I came here because I wanted to know why you fools were taking so long."

Karin smirked at Ino and Sakura. "See? See how much he cares about me?"

"The only reason I protected you is because we're on the same team." Sasuke glared at Karin. "An injured teammate is useless to me."

"…Sasuke?" Naruto whispered.

"Yes, I'm here. Get over it."

"…Sasuke!" Suddenly, Naruto, Sakura, and Ino all charged at Sasuke, glomping him. "We missed you!" Naruto cried as Karin fumed with jealousy.

"Why did you leave us?" Ino wailed.

"You know why I left!" Sasuke yelled. "Now get off me!"

"Never!" Sakura hugged Sasuke, squeezing him so hard he could barely breathe.

"Karin! Jugo! Suigetsu!" Sasuke choked. "Get these morons off me!"

Karin stared at him with something like disappointment. "But you're strong, Sasuke. Can't you handle them yourself?"

Jugo had already run off toward the apartment building Kakashi had pointed out earlier.

Sasuke groaned. Looks like I have no choice but to put up with them until they let go.
