Author's Ramble: So it was a little short...Who cares? it's just a Prologue. The actual story should be longer. Though I'm not exactly sure what I want to do with this piece yet. I know I still have other pieces to do, but hey...It gets hard for me to write in the summer. In fact, as ironic as it sounds, I find more time when I have less of it! Kind of awkward, huh? I guess it's because I'm always wanting to do everything, and ending up doing nothing in the end. Good thing school's about to start back up. Should be like in a few days...OH yeah, enough of this. And so we go!

All was still. In the dead night, very little moved so much as a peep. The houses all shut up, and the lights were out. Most of the light that illuminated the Leaf village, Konoha, came from the moon above.
This was the home of many shinobi, but a select few were the targets of a top secret mission. "You go that way with your squad, and we'll go this way with ours." Someone murmured an order. With that, the Mist shinobi made their move.
None in Konoha expected this to happen. After the fall of Orochimaru, things settled down once more, and the town had blossomed into one of the largest villages.
"Make sure they're only capture," said the leader momentarily, "I wouldn't want master to get angry again", remembering what happened last time.
The two teams of shinobi separated and went after their respective targets. The list was short. So short, you could count all the targets on one hand. That made things easy. At least easy enough for an elite team of nin.
Passing a training obstacle course, they make it to a street lamp. They stopped for a break, letting the lights from the lamp blare at them heavily. To make sure they couldn't be seen, one of the nin whipped out a kunai and thrust it above. It flickered once, twice, and was out.
"Ok, our first target…Is Naruto Uzumaki." said their leader, pulling out a picture. A boy with unruly, golden hair stared back at him. His cerulean eyes full of life. And his hand…balled into a fist. He looked as if he was ready for a challenge. He was about to get his wish.
"So this is him?" asked the woman that destroyed the lamp from before. With a flashlight in hand, the leader effectively showed her the picture of Naruto. She ripped the picture from the hands of the leader nin and studied it a bit more. "He looks weak." She scowled and slammed it back into her boss' hands.
"So it seems, Kari, but that just makes easy money." He replied energetically. Kari spat in disgust and turned away, but he seemed unaware, or just didn't care. After all, he was getting hundreds by the hour.
"He should be near. Come on team, we've got a boy to kidnap." He barked. They would not fail this mission.
Quickly advancing a small apartment building, they knew they had to be as quiet as possible. Even a bit avoidant if there was a protection jutsu put on any of the targets' homes. Still, that wouldn't stop them. Luckily they brought a tactical officer just for the occasion, such an event would occur.
They drew upon the apartment number 114 on the third floor. According to the file, this was the target's home. "Wait. Boris, what if it-" one of the ninja asked their leader. Boris, the leader, replied hastily, "Trust me..."
No later than a second, and the crew was inside the apartment. They scouted out the length of the apartment in search of the boy, but found no one. "Is it abandoned?" There was a pause. Boris said, "No…"
He opened the door, revealing a boy, sound asleep. Quietly they did their job.
Out in the park area, where grass grew ankle high and bushes carried vast flower species, a single boy sat on a swing set, pushing himself back and forth slightly, allowing it to carry him off. "Will this work?" asked someone from behind. But the boy made no change in movement.
A woman in her thirties stared at her child emotionlessly. To her, this was just another one of his games. He would always get bored, and move on to something else. But little did she know the plot unraveling in his mind at that moment.
Abruptly, he snapped to attention, and stated, "Maybe. And maybe it won't. Who can tell the future? It doesn't matter. This will all be over soon."
An evil smirk crossed his face. From head to toe, he could feel himself twitch in excitement, in anticipation of the upcoming event. He knew that for his prey, their lives would change drastically within the next few hours. They would see the truth, though little at a time, and they would know what it's like…to walk through the boundaries of dimensions. And that was only the half of it.
