Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or its characters. They all belong to Masashi Kishimoto. I do not profit from this work. I merely enjoy writing. Is all.
This is my first Naruto fanfiction, but I do hope you all will like it.
PS. I might have altered the location of Tsunade's meeting with the elders and Danzo to fit my story. Heh.
Prologue: Bent reality
A loud shattering of glass was heard in the direction of the Hokage Tower as a man was sent flying through the window. He could barely make out what was happening with his one good eye but he vaguely remembered being assaulted by a rogue ANBU and briefly wondering what had happened to his loyal ANBU Root, which had failed him.
A second man came flying out of the same shattered window a few seconds later, a mask covering his face, black cloak flowing in the wind. To commoners, he was an ANBU member, an elite ninja serving the Kage. Yet, he had differences from any normal ANBU. His mask was not of an animal, just a normal white mask, dark sharp eyes and a thin smile. Another difference is that he had chains loosely crisscrossing his body, some dangling from him.
Two of the chains were constricted tightly around two elderly people, one man and one woman. Both of them seemed to be having trouble breathing, but to the ANBU imposter, he was merely fulfilling his contract. And he was enjoying the pleasure of taking out these people as he heard them gasping for breath.
The first one fell to the ground with a sickening THUD! If that was not enough to kill him, the imposter landing directly on his head would have done the trick. This, lead to another two more revolting crashes as both elders were brought to the ground by the force of gravity.
As quickly as possible, he let the special chains he used to drag the elders dissolve, turning to water and re-solidifying after they are cleared of the dead bodies. In that instant, real ANBU members were swarming around him. Under his mask, a wild grin emerged as he rushed forward, barreling through the ANBU members, even as the mask he wore cracked under the first attack of many.
With Naruto
Naruto was in the midst of searching for a new team member. He had seen and asked Team Kurenai but they were being sent off for another mission. No sooner than he had left, he heard a loud cry. His head reactively flew in the direction of the cry and saw a villager pointing at the sky. Slowly, he turned his head to look at what the villager was pointing and he too found himself gasping.
There was a huge black cloudy vortex spinning in the sky. The proximity of the vortex was also very close to the Hokage tower and also to where he had seen Team Kurenai, and he hoped that it was just Tsunade obaa-chan that was messing around and not some freak disaster that was going to strike the village.
What the hell is happening? He thought as he rushed in the direction of the spiraling vortex. He was worried about the Godaime and his friends.
Suddenly, he heard a big yelp as he approached the area where he had last seen his friends. What he saw shocked him and angered him to no end. A man with a headband tied around his eyes and chains crisscrossing his body had landed a hit on Kiba and his pet dog, Akamaru with his chains as Kiba tried to defend Hinata, whom was already bound to the man's side.
Both Kiba and Akamaru were struggling to get up after the massive blow, while Shino had called his insects to disable the man. Shino knew his insects will be able to evade the massive chains, so he was fairly confident. Yet, as the chains was in the midst of the swarm, it liquefy, turning into water and thus, soaking the insects rendering them unable to fly.
Even as Hinata struggled to get free from the binding chains, the kidnapper had leapt to the roof. She watched the man look up with his covered eyes. Her eyes followed his 'gaze', and locked on the black vortex above her and her kidnapper. Just then, Hinata felt the man grabbing her and crouched, as if concentrating chakra on his feet.
Oh my God! What is that? Is he going to jump into that thing? She thought.
Naruto, who had watched the event unfold, was running towards the kidnapper. He was not about to let a stranger lay a finger on his precious friends and get away with it. He was going to get Hinata safely back.
Then, simultaneously, both launched into the air, the kidnapper with Hinata shooting at the vortex, while Naruto was aiming a punch at the kidnapper.
The man felt a killing intent towards him, and through his senses, detected a young boy, much like his target's friends, coming towards him. He couldn't avoid the punch, nor could he let the punch connect and destabilize his trajectory to the vortex that was going to take him back home. So he did the most possible thing. As soon as Naruto's punch was thrown at him, he caught it with his free hand, breaking a few of his bones on his hand as well.
Looks like I'm going to have another hitchhiker, he thought as his head touched the force, with him still holding Naruto and Hinata. At that point, everything seemed to slow down for him as he felt himself disintegrating into tiny molecules to be sent through the dimensions. Yes, he was going home with not one, but two extra luggage.
Kiba and Shino watched from the front row, while the Godaime Tsunade watch from afar on top of Hokage tower where the murder of Danzo and the two elders of Konoha had taken place, as the murderer who had kidnapped Hinata, and held onto Naruto as well, fade into the black vortex along with his hostages.
All in all, it was a dark day for Konoha.
Somewhere else
Under his headband, which he had worn through his life in the world of ninjas, he could detect a faint light peaking through the folds of his headband. Slowly, he pushed himself off the ground and untied his headband.
Light shone brightly through his closed eyelids and he welcomed the familiar sense back. A small creak through his eyelids and the light blinded him momentarily. Yet, he is still delighted that he could finally see.
He welcomed the sight of the metropolis in his world. He had been in the other world for far too long.
Then, he heard a small groan and he turned from the view of the metropolis below him to see the dark-haired konoichi and the blonde shinobi that he had brought back from the other world. He was finally able to see a ninja. Both, he noted, were still sleeping, probably from the trip through dimensions. Traveling through dimensions or worlds can be pretty exhausting for the inexperienced.
He also noticed the bag he had left back when he started to travel to the ninja world was still there. Realizing he was not in the mood to be carrying to unconscious ninjas through the streets, he ransacked the bag for his hand phone.
After dialing in the number, the call was hastily answered by a very frantic but welcomed voice: "Nagi-sama! Oh! Thank God! I was so worried about you. You were missing over a month and we got nothing on you, until the GPS signal on you finally beeped for the first time this morning. Oh Nagi-sama!" The woman on the other line continued with her ranting.
"Yes, Kazumi-chan. I'm fine. There's nothing to be worried about. I'll explain everything to you once I get home, so can you stop your lecture?"
Kazumi let out a long sigh and finally started to cool down.
"Don't you EVER do that to me again! But ok, Nagi-sama. I'll let you off the hook for now. By the way, I'm on my way to pick you up right now," she ended on a calm tone, thankfully.
"Yup. Thanks. Oh yeah! I also have a few," Nagi paused as he looked at the two shinobis, wondering his predictment. "Guests. I'll be needing to do some arrangements," a slight chuckle left his mouth as he smiled once more.
"Hai, Nagi-sama!"
Ending the conversation, he flipped the phone back off and turned back to look over the building which they had landed from their trip. The sight he had longed for, with skyscrapers and cars and technology filled his eyes as he laughed out for the loudest since he was in the other world.
"Welcome, to my world. Earth twenty-twenty (2020)" he said to no one in particular.
Behind him, a helicopter hovered, waiting for him to come back home.

A/N: I was just trying out my luck with a new story and ended with this. Pls RxR. I'm just a newbie, to take it easy on me. Thx ways. Sori it was way long, but I just hate Danzo and the elders. Really made me feel like writing the beginning part.
