Beware of what you play

Jumanji

A game for those who seek to find, a way to leave their world behind. You roll the dice to move your token, doubles gets another turn, the first player to reach the end wins.

Adventurers beware; do not begin, unless you intend to finish. The exciting consequences of the game, will vanish only when a player has reached Jumanji and called out its name…

Dear readers! Hello, well, this idea sort of popped out when I was re-watching Jumanji again, for the millionth time. Ok, I see my friend's face falling… Haha, that's a little habit of mine. So now after the game flows in the rivers, sailed the seas, flew over skies, and now who's the lucky ones to pick it up?

Presenting Jumanji, Naruto version!

Disclaimer: I don't own Jumanji and Naruto cast.

Chapter 1: Lost and Found

The village of Konoha sits quietly in the cool afternoon as ninjas busied themselves with missions and trainings. Those with nothing better to do would just sit around, enjoying the peace that the serene village offers. Peace, how wonderful marvelous the word is. However it is not something that should be taken for granted…

Naruto was training in the forest outside of the village all by himself. Somehow the perverted hermit isn't back from his mission.

"Right, mission my foot. He's probably somewhere drinking Sake and peeping at women!" Naruto pouted as he threw another kunai at a falling leaf. The weapon hit the leaf and sent it pinning into the nearest tree trunk. "Well, that's certainly an improvement!"

The smile on the genin's face faded again as he realizes how much time he is wasting. Training alone isn't going to help much, and no one is there to help him. Sighing, he let himself fall backwards into the grass and stared at the sky above.

The clouds crawled slowly across the sky. The breeze bended the grass and leaves of the tree to one side gently. Naruto's eyes grew tired, and slowly, they began to close…

Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.

Naruto jerked his eyes opened.

Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.

There was a distant drumming, a rhythm he never heard before, not in his village, not in his country…

Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.

Naruto sat upright and listened.

Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.

The ninja got up and looked around. Curiosity came over him as he followed the drumming. Faster and faster he ran into the forest, searching for the source of the rhythm. Then the drumming started to get complicated…

Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.

He started to leap to get to his destination faster. He leaped and leaped, ran and ran. Soon the trees parted to reveal the edge of the forest. A gigantic cliff now loomed over Naruto and a small stream separated him from the towering monster.

Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.

Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.

Naruto leaped across the stream and hurried forward. The drumming now filled the entire area. Then suddenly, it stopped.

"Eh?" Naruto turned around frantically to look for the drumming again, but no sound came. The winds continued to blow, the trees continued to rustle. He turned back to the foot of the cliff. He began to dig into the wall…

As he dug further, he hit something hard, something metal. It was a handle. Then with all his might, he pulled hard.

A chest…

A very old chest…

Naruto checked the chest front, back, side, and center. It was locked, with a rather odd lock. The ninja tugged on it but it won't budge. He stared at it for a while before a bulb lights up in his head.

"Rasengan!" he roared as he smashed the ball of Chakra right at the lock, only to smash the entire chest. The surrounding air was stirred, taking the bits of wood with it into the sky.

Naruto stared at the pieces of wood chips flying upwards like a torrent and sighed.

"So much for control…" he mumbled. Then he looked down and saw something. He bent down to take a closer look at the mysterious object…

Shikamaru was back staring at clouds. There's no sun, no rain, perfect for cloud watching. And just as usual, something is about to happen, he just knew it. The peace was too peaceful, so peaceful that it was just like the stillness before a destructive storm hits.

Shikamaru heard footsteps approaching so he turned on one side to see whom the intruder is. Here it comes.

The silhouette turns out to be munching on something… then something trailed behind it… followed by a bark.

"Chouji." He said lazily. As usual, his best pal knew where to find him.

"Yo Shikamaru!" the approaching ninja called out cheerfully, pouring a pack of chips into his mouth before crushing the packet. "I brought some people."

Shikamaru turned to one side and thought to himself, trouble… He sat up and saw behind Chouji were his two other friends, two of who skipped classes with him in the past when they were still very young.

"Shikamaru!" Naruto chirped, followed by an acknowledgement smug grin by Kiba and a cheerful bark by Akamaru. Shikamaru noticed the noisy ninja was carrying something. There goes my afternoon, Shikamaru thought. He looked back at the clouds, only to find none in the vast sky. As if reading his thoughts…

"Naruto said he found something and you might know what it is. Then Kiba tagged along." Chouji said before opening up another pack of chips.

On cue, Naruto set down his 'something' on the bench and sat down. The four heads and one dog head peered at the object.

"Jumanji?"
