Summary: The battle at the valley of the end is over and Naruto is victorious (barely). All the fighting caused a crack in the mountain. Naruto goes training with Jiraiya, 3 years later they come back and an earthquake makes the crack widen revealing a hidden city, more advanced then anything they have ever seen before, so what happens when they find a small spherical device and during tests a flash of light comes from the "orb" revealing that Tsunade, Naruto, Hinata, Sakura, Sasuke and Shino disappear.

Chapter 1

"Sorry Sasuke. I told you I won't let Orochimaru have you and I never go back on my word." Naruto said. He was breathing heavily, a side affect of using the large amount of the nine tails' chakra for the large amount of time that he had.

He lifted Sasuke over his shoulder and started the long trek from the valley of the end to Konoha. He had only gone about 30 meters when Kakashi-sensei jumped from the tree's in front of him to the ground next to him to take Sasuke off his shoulder. "Hey Naruto are you ok?" Kakashi asked after putting Sasuke onto his shoulder.

Naruto then collapsed from chakra exhaustion, physical exhaustion and from the effort that it had taken for him to defeat Sasuke without killing him. "Oh crap" Kakashi said to himself.

After a slight mope Kakashi gritted his teeth and picked Naruto up onto his other shoulder and started walking back to the village.

Sound village 1 hour later

Kabuto walked though 2 double doors to the hall that Orochimaru was currently seated in on his "throne" that he had made himself. "Well. Is he here yet?" Orochimaru asked. He had lost his impatience half an hour ago. It shouldn't take this long just to kidnap a child. Even if they sent reinforcements after them, the sound 4 and Kimimaro was his elite squad after all.

"No sir, I'm afraid that they have failed." Kabuto stated his voice quavering as he knew that to be the bearer of bad news could get you killed, and his master had already worn through his patience this day.

"WHAT?" Orochimaru's voice rang through the empty hall, echoing around the room with a sinister intent in it. Though that was something that was always in his voice and Kabuto had gotten used to it after a few years.

"The sound 4 and Kimimaro have failed to bring Sasuke back. And Naruto has beaten Sasuke and he and Kakashi have returned to Konoha with Sasuke." Kabuto answered.

"How can that Kyuubi brat beat Sasuke the Uchiha genius? That's impossible." Orochimaru said worry edging its way into his voice along with a slight tinge of fear. And Kabuto knew that if something scared Orochimaru then it was indeed a threat and something to be feared.

Konoha hospital 1 hour after Orochimaru heard of the failure

Naruto and Sasuke had both been stabilized when they got back, though they had yet to wake up. All of the genin that had gone after Sasuke had been stabilized though Choji was shockingly thin compared to how he had been before.

Hinata had been to see Kiba and was now sitting next to Naruto's bed holding his hand. The only thing going through her head was 'I could have lost him, I could have lost the person I care about and he would never have known how I felt.' These thoughts were interrupted by the door opening, Hinata quickly withdrew her hand.

She turned around to see Jiraiya. "Hello Hinata" He said smiling.

"Hello Jiraiya-sennin."Hinata replied not looking away from Naruto. Her stammer had recently vanished much to the joy of Hinata.

"Hinata I have to take Naruto." Jiraiya said causing Hinata to whirl round to look at Jiraiya with a look of pure shock and horror.

"You cant he hasn't recovered yet." Hinata replied outraged that he would try to remove him when he had just been brought back from a battle.

"I'm taking him training; we'll be gone for 3 years." Jiraiya told her, seeing that she was going to continue to protest he started talking again. "Don't worry he'll be fine with me." And with that he headed over to the bed and picked Naruto up and carried over to the door.

"Wait." Hinata suddenly said running over to him. Jiraiya just turned around to her. She looked at Naruto and kissed him on the cheek, pulling back she said "be safe my Naruto." Then Jiraiya walked out of the room.
