Hi! So, I've intended to write this for a while now. Ever since I discovered Fairy Tail. I hope you like it...
"Is this the right one?" Naruto asked, holding up a bright yellow flower with pointed leaves. "No," Sakura replied, "That one causes blindness." Naruto groaned, throwing the flower back to the grass. After their mission in the Hidden Sand, the two needed some recovery time, as did anyone else who went on the mission.
They were collecting medicinal herbs. Sakura found this mission a bit therapeutic. She wasn't straining herself and it was nice to be out in nature, collecting some plants. After being trained by Tsunade, Sakura was in her element. It was the opposite for Naruto.
As amazed as he was with Sakura's medical knowledge, he couldn't understand her at all. He looked at a field or forest and he saw plants. For Sakura, she looked and she saw medicines. The two long years Naruto spent away from the village had put a bit of a wall between them. Even after completing a mission together, they both got a sense that they no longer knew each other as well as they once had.
That was part of the reason of why Sakura made Naruto join her on this little trip. His company was appreciated, even if he was totally incompetent at this job. "It's this one, right?" He said, waving around a red flower with narrow leaves and a thorny stem. Sakura sighed with frustration. "No, that one gives you a rash if you touch it." Naruto dropped the flower, yelped, and wiped his hand on his pants vigorously. He looked down at his hand; it didn't look like a rash was spreading.
Sakura rolled her eyes, Naruto sure could be an idiot. "You should have known that you shouldn't touch that one by the thorns on the stem." Sakura commented. "When something has thorns on it, you shouldn't touch it!" Naruto groaned, he was way out of his element.
He needed something to keep him busy, otherwise, it was possible that he would get himself poisoned or something. "Look," Sakura began. "Just go peel some bark off of that tree." She said, pointing to a tree with bright green leaves and ashy bark. He wouldn't get himself killed with a simple task like that, right?
"Got it." He said as he pulled out his kunai and ran toward the tree. Any normal person would have only scraped the bark from a spot within his reach, but Naruto was Naruto. So naturally, he created two shadow clones and scaled the tree. Sakura sighed, 'That's Naruto for you.' she thought.
She bent down, looking for a few painkiller herbs in the grass. They could be hard to find, being so small, and blending in with the grass blades. She plucked some grass from the dirt and examined the roots. It was medicinal. She stowed it away in her pouch, once she dried it, it would be helpful.
After she found an amount that she was satisfied with, she moved on to mushrooms. Sakura examined the base of the tree for any. No luck. They should stand out, the ones she was looking for were a bright orangish yellow. She sighed and continued to look.
"Hey, Sakura!" She heard Naruto call. "There's something you should see!" Sakura temporarily abandoned her place.
"What is it?" She asked, walking up the tree that Naruto was in. "Look." Naruto said simply, pointing to a paper seal.
"What do you think it is?" She questioned. "I can't read the writing." Sakura stated.
"Good," Naruto said. "I thought it was just me." He began to prod it with his index finger. "What are you doing?" Sakura hissed, slapping Naruto's hand away from the seal. "Well, how else are we supposed to find out what it is?" Naruto countered.
"We can have a team study it later, but really, it could be dangerous to touch it. We don't know what it's sealing." Sakura said, her voice being the only reason.
"Come on, it's not like it will tear off if we poke it a little." He inched his fingers under a corner of the paper gingerly. Without warning, the seal peeled from the tree and fluttered down.
Sakura snatched it from the air. "Idiot!" She said as she hit Naruto on the head. "No, no. It's fine." Naruto said, taking the paper from Sakura's hand and pressing the seal in its original spot. It stuck. "See," He said. "Not a problem."
He smiled, but Sakura could see the nervousness it hid. She almost relaxed, nothing appeared to have happen. The seal came loose and drifted down into her hand again.
Suddenly, they found themselves in a tunnel. They were flying or falling, one of the two. The tunnel was strange. Full of color. Full of darkness. They traveled at such a speed that it was frightening.
The impact when they touched down on solid ground was hard. Naruto landed on his back. Sakura landed beside him, her left arm hitting the ground first. She gritted her teeth. "Are you okay?" She asked as she saw nothing but orange next to her.
Naruto sat up, stretching his arms. "Yeah, I'll live. You?" Sakura flexed her left arm. It didn't feel broken, but had they fallen just a bit harder, she could have a more severe injury on her hands. She'd heal it later. "I'm fine."
She put a hand to her head, calming the raging headache. That's when she actually saw where they were. They sat against a tree, much like the one that Naruto was taking bark from earlier. A little ways off, there was a small people there didn't look like ninjas, no headbands, no weapons.
They were far from the Leaf. Something was very off. Sakura looked down at the crumpled seal in her hand. Her injured arm didn't hinder her from grabbing Naruto by the collar of his shirt and yelling. "Naruto, you idiot!"
Sorry if I made any mistakes. I need to refresh on both animes of this crossover. I'm not sure if I really want to continue with this. I have my hands a bit full with life and a Star Wars Rebels fanfiction. I would appreciate any comments, questions, or suggestions. Please let me know what you think! Thank you!
