Author's message: Hi! It's me, finally! I wrote this, my first time to write a fanfic, but I wrote a lot of stories many times already. Please do not underestimate me, knowing it's my first time to write a fanfic. The story's title came from John Cena's entrance theme song title, 'My time is Now." Even though I can be girly, I watch wrestling sometimes, with my little brother! I had a draft of this story on my notebook, and this is not super-long… but some characters are slight OOC…
I edited this prologue because I saw a lot of mistakes! I hoped you'll enjoy this story! And This IS a Sasusaku fic. Please try to give some reviews, because I need them.

My Time is Now!
Prologue: The Life Machine
Konoha is a very peaceful village, especially during the warm summer season, when vacation starts for everyone—except Ninjas, who had those missions to save someone, kill an S-rank criminal or even help another village with its problems. But the Hokage, the ruler of the village, is a very kind person, really… that she let all ninjas have easier missions this summer.
But it's very different for Team 7, the most outstanding ninja team at Konoha, who successfully finished many missions with all their efforts. Here at the Hokage's office, Tsunade, the Hokage herself and one of the legendary Sannin, sat comfortably on her large, but soft chair. She was also the first female Hokage of Konoha, and one of the most beautiful old ladies in Konoha, that she even don't look her age (which is 53!)… her blond pigtails matched her perfectly, because of her pale skin tone and her beautiful amber-colored eyes brightens up her face too.
Infront of her are the Team 7, which forms—The copy ninja Hatake Kakashi, with his face hidden by his mask and hair as siver as steel ; the fun-loving Uzumaki Naruto, that blonde-haired kid who stood nearest to Tsunade, the noisy leader of the group, eyes as blue as the sea; the very handsome but silent Uchiha Sasuke, the sole survivor of the fallen Uchiha clan, eyes very good-looking but very dangerous because of the Sharingan (his clan's bloodline) and don't ever forget the warm-hearted girl Haruno Sakura, the only female in the group, her hair as pink as her name's origin: the beautiful Cherry blossom, and very intelligent.
The Fifth hokage looked looked at them seriously, her hands crossed to support her head. "Team 7…" She called them.
Naruto jumped with Excitement. "YAY! We'll have a MISSION!" He shouted joyfully.
Tsunade sighed, and hissed to make the noisy blonde quiet. "You have a D-rank mission."
Anime sweatdrops started to fall from their faces. Naruto's eyes widened in surprise and disbelief. "WHAT!" He shouted at the top of his lungs.
Sasuke, who was standing beside the gentle Sakura, hissed like a wild tiger and folded his arms quickly. "Naruto, you moron… Why the hell can you be quiet for a minute?" He whispered softy.
Sakura giggled and stared at Sasuke childishly, observing his handsome face and "almost" perfect body. Her pink hair sways with the wind, and a big smile plastered on her face.
Sasuke glanced at her for a few seconds, and suddenly, his face becomes light red. "Stop it." Sasuke told her.
Sakura always thought that she was the best at annoying the handsome Sasuke, but it's not really true that Sasuke is annoyed at her… deep inside him, he thinks that she's just too girly but still a nice person. Sakura has a crush on him, but it's really confusing that Sasuke likes Sakura or not. During missions, he always tries to help Sakura, especially when Naruto is not around. But during ordinary days, he never talk to Sakura or even visit her even once.
Kakashi sighed while looking at the fifth hokage anxiously. 'I hope it's not babysitting' he thought.
Sasuke looked towards the Hokage. "So what's the mission?" He asked.
Naruto smiled as he glares happily at Sasuke. "Oh, Sasuke... you finally spoke to Tsunade-no baachan!" He said.
Sasuke frowns and showed Naruto the "deadly Uchiha" glare. Naruto had anime sweatdrops falling again and looked back at Tsunade again.
Tsunade walked nearer to Naruto and held his shoulder gently. "It's a mission to live an ordinary life, a very simple life." She said.
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked while raising an eyebrow.
Tsunade chuckled happily and walked away from Naruto She went towards a blanket-covered something. "That means you'll live simply an ordinary life... You can't use techniques, Kunais or any Ninja thing. You'll do what ordinary people does..." She said.
Kakashi chuckled and he pointed the blanket-covered thing. "What's that for? Is it a hidden gate or something?" He asked.
Tsunade smiled. "Shizune!" She called.
Suddenly, a black-haired lady came, or commonly known as Shizune, the right-hand woman of Tsunade. "What is it, Tsunade-sama?" She asked.
Tsunade glared at her seriously and she pointed towards the blanket-covered thing. "Can you show them this "Life machine" the high-level ninjas made for the mission?"
Shizune nodded her head gently. "Hai!" She replied, walking towards the blanket-covered thing. She removes the blanket with her bare, slender hands.
Then a huge steel machine appeared, human-sized, and with several buttons surrounding the right side. There's also a huge gate for one person or two slender persons right in the center.
Naruto's eyes grew larger in surprise. "WOW!"
Sasuke's eyes widened in surprise and looked towards Sakura, who was trembling in fear and looking at him sadly. "Is this... dangerous?" She asked him.
Sasuke showed her his most handsome smile, which can make any girl scream or any boy jealous. "No." He replied.
Tsunade chuckled happily. "This Machine will help you transport to the Ordinary world. Your weapons will be surrendered to us because this can't be used if you had deadly weapons like Kunais and Shuriken. Your clothes will be changed too... and it's all thanks to Technology!" Tsunade said.
Naruto raised his eyebrow again. He felt more curious again, as usual... his curious self will never disappear no matter what happens."And so... what?"
Tsunade sighed, as she expleains further. "Your appearance will change, but your body and mind will be still the same... for example Naruto will wear goggles instead of the forehead protector... But his adorable won't change!"
Naruto puts his point finger on his nose childishly, making that bad habit again. "hehehe.." he laughed.
Tsunade smiled beautifully at them. "But all of you will be separated when you come. You will appear into different places around the Ordinary world. Of course, you won't be living in the same residence. You'll be lucky if you find each other. You can be friends again and can become closer. The three genins will be studying. Books instead of Scrolls! But Kakashi, the jounin, will work a job or something." She explained more.
Sasuke faced towards the Hokage, and looked at her calmly. "Will we meet people from here too?" He asked.
"Yes, You will meet people from here too in different situations, and you will also meet people from your past, even though they're dead here, in your Ninja life... You'll be living there for a month!" Tsunade nodded gently.
Sasuke's eyes widened on shock. Suddenly, he remembers his parents and his whole family. Then his calm face turned into a blank one. 'No way... My parents... my family...' he thought.
Tsunade looked at them seriously once again, and this time, her hands are holding her hips. "So who will begin first?"
"It will be me!" Naruto raised his hand and said that bravely. It was Naruto who always do an action first, but sometimes, it was Sasuke, but now, he (Sasuke) was in a strange mood...
Sakura gasped, surprised on her teammate. "Naruto!" She shouted his name.
Suddenly, Sasuke gently held Sakura's shoulder.
Sakura faced at him, her cheeks turning bright red because of her blush. "Sasuke-kun..." She whispered.
Sasuke showed him his handsome smile again, but this time, it's a real one, one that came from his heart..."Don't worry, Naruto will be fine." He said as he tried to calm Sakura down.
Naruto walked towards the Machine's gate, and looked towards his teammates sadly. He waves his hand goodbye to them,and showed a fake smile.'Sasuke... Sakura-chan... Kakashi-sensei' he thought.
He entered the gate, and gets in the "Life Machine". Shizune pushed the red button, which is for activating.
The Machine trembles and makes Booming sounds, which is like a drum's sound.
Sakura looked at it with fear. "Naruto... I... hope you're fine." She whispered sadly.
Suddenly, the gate opens itself again, and thick smokes started to come out.
Kakashi smiled and walked nearer the machine. "So... Naruto successfully came there... Good for him! And I'll be the next one!" Kakashi said, as he raised his left hand. Kakashi is the next one, being the oldest and the most amazing member of Team 7, having the Sharingan given by his former teammate Uchiha Obito, which is coincidentally one of Sasuke's relatives.
Sakura started to have tears coming out from her Emerald-green eyes. "Kaka-" Sasuke cuts her dialogue again... by holding Sakura's hips gently. Then Sakura looked at the serious Sasuke again.
"Calm down. He'll be okay for sure..." Sasuke whispered to her, trying to calm her down again.
Tsunade smiled at Kakashi and shook each other's hands. "Good Luck, Kakashi!" Tsunade told him.
Kakashi chuckled and walked towards the gate. He faced towards Sasuke and Sakura, and waved his hand. "Well, It's Bye for now! Sakura, you should stop those tears. All of us will be fine! I'm sure of it!" Kakashi said optimistically.
He enters the "Time Machine" and it trembles again.
Sakura sheds more tears. "Kakashi-sensei!" She cried.
Sasuke suddenly wraps his arms around her body, giving her a sweet little hug. "I said 'calm down' so...Stop crying!" He told her.
The gate opens again, and smoke comes out again.
Tsunade chuckled and looked towards the two genins. "So who's next?"
Sakura trembles like a vibrating cellphone, and her tears can't stop flowing from her beautiful eyes. "Tsunade-sama... I..." Sasuke interrupted again, and this time, he covered Sakura's mouth to calm her down for the fourth time.
"Hokage-sama..." He called Tsunade's attention.
Tsunade smiled and looked at the Uchiha prodigy. "What is it, Sasuke? I never saw you doing that to Sakura..." Tsunade asked him.
Sasuke suddenly blushed. "Sakura... is scared... so can we go... together?" He requested shyly, as he wiped Sakura's tears with his own bare hand.
Tsunade smiled, and nodded her head. "You two are so slender that you can fit in the machine. So it will be okay, Sasuke. And Sakura..." She looked at the crying Sakura.
"Sakura, I wish you will trust us. You will not die in this mission. After all, there are no S-rank criminals here!" Tsunade told her as she walked nearer them and winked her right eye happily.
Sakura wiped her tears carefully and nodded her head. "...Okay."
Sasuke smirked and released her from his arms. "So, can we go now?" Sasuke asked Tsunade and Shizune.
Shizune smiled joyfully and nodded her head. "Of Course! Naruto-kun will be happy to see both of you there, even Kakashi-senpai will be very pleased if both of you came there!" Shizune replied.
Sasuke looked at Sakura, who was already smiling and looking determined. "Sa... kura." He whispered her name.
Sakura raised her hands happily, shouting... "Let's go, Sasuke-kun!" Sakura said, as she held Sasuke's hand gently.
Sasuke had anime sweatdrops falling again, and his face is blushing again. 'She's always like this...' he thought. Sakura is really showing everyone that She loves Sasuke so much, even Sasuke knows it. But Sasuke never shown his affection yet, just his friendship with her. After all, they are still too young to deal with this, even Sasuke, the oldest one on the trio.
Tsunade giggled and waved her hand goodbye. "Sayonara, Sakura and Sasuke!"
The two walked inside the machine carefully, and... yup, they really fitted exactly inside. Sakura was slender enough.
Sakura looked around the place with curiosity. "Are we going to be separated?" Sakura asked Sasuke.
"Aa." Sasuke replied. He always replies that in asking Yes or no questions, and that means "yes", he is really so unique. Jeez, where on earth did he learned about that!
Suddenly, the gate closed itself, and weird sounds started to be heard by them. Sakura gasped and grabbed Sasuke's arm. The machine started to tremble again. "Sa— Sasuke-kun!" Sakura shouted.
"Calm down." Sasuke replied, wrapping his arms around Sakura again.
Sakura's heartbeat suddenly beats faster than ever as she felt Sasuke's body near hers. Her face turns red, and then she hugged him back. 'What is Sasuke-kun doing?' She thought.
Tsunade looked at the machine again, her face as serious as the boss at a certain company. "There it goes again." She smirked.
- - - - -
Suddenly, inside the machine, Sasuke saw nothing but darkness. "What?" He asked himself, confused on what's happening. He looked below his body, and saw nothing but his clothes. Sakura was not there around his arms anymore.
"S-Sakura?" He asked again. But he heard nothing but echoes of what he just mentioned.
Sasuke felt his heartbeat beating faster, and a lot of sweats are running down from his face. "Where are you!" He shouted loudly, with the feeling of anxiety.
It was a weird sight for him, but he can do nothing but look...
- - - - -
Just like Sasuke, Sakura was in nothingness. She saw herself around eternal darkness, and found out that her "Sasuke-kun" wasn't there anymore…
She trembled with fear, and wrapped her arms around her slender and fragile body. "S—Sasuke-kun… What… happened?"
She heard nothing but echoes of her own voice. Her eyes felt a little wet again, and tears started to flow down again. "SASUKE-KUN!" She shouted at the top of her lungs.

Back to the Hokage's office, the machine's gate opens again and smokes started to come out. Tsunade smiled happily as she walked nearer to Shizune. "YEP! It was a Success!" She said joyfully.
Shizune giggled and switched the machine off. "They'll be back after a month. I'll just turn on the machine next month, that is, if they come back, Tsunade-sama. I wish them good luck." Shizune said.
Tsunade walked outside the office carefully, her arms folded around her chest. "Of course they'll come back! AHHHHH… I just want a bottle of Sake now! I'm so overwhelmed from work!" Tsunade said, stretching her arms.
Shizune giggled and grabbed Tsunade's pig Tonton. "Okay, Let's go…" She said.
But… will Team 7 succeed? Will they find each other in that complicated world of Ordinary People? Will they survive all the burdens and hardships?
…TO BE CONTINUED!
