It was just supposed to be a normal, everyday C-Rank escort mission. All that Shikamaru Nara and his team, consisting of Sakura Haruno and Naruto Uzumaki, were supposed to do was accompany a group of merchants from Konoha to Suna. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem. But what happened was not normal.

Itwas far from it.

hey had been setting up camp for the night, a little ways away from the campsite of the merchants. As Naruto was unrolling his sleeping bag next to the small fire, he yawned.

"I can't wait to get to Suna tommorow. I'm probably gonna go see Gaara." Naruto turned his gaze to Shikamaru. "What about you?"

Shikamaru turned his gaze from the clouds above to his teammate. "Huh? What do you mean?" he asked confused.

"What I mean is, what are you planning on doing while we're there? You gonna go see Temari?" Shikamaru knew what Naruto was implying with his question.

"Uh... Yeah I plan on seeing her, but like I've told you before, we're not together like that. Honestly she's probably one of the most troublesome girls I've ever met."

Naruto simply laughed. Sakura sat up in her sleeping bag and groaned. "Would you two please get to bed already?"

"Well, I've got first watch, so Naruto can go to sleep. But we all know he probably won't" as Shikamaru said this he looked at Naruto to see him glaring into the woods. "Hey, Naruto. What's going-" Naruto cut him off by shushing him, standing up, and pulling a kunai out of the holster on his right leg. He immidiately got into a denfensive position.

"Someone's out the-" Naruto was cut off as a kunai flew by his head, barely missing him. The knife embedded itself in a tree, and instantly the tag that was attached to is began to glow. A blindingly bright white filled the eyes of the team and a high pitched ringing resonated through their ears. "A flash tag!" Sakura yelled.

Naruto heard a snort in his head. "That was no flash tag." the voice of the Kyuubi rang out in his skull. Naruto paled. The fox only talked to him in times when Naruto was in great danger. And normally Naruto had to go into his mindscape in order for them to communicate. "This is the effect of a dimension gate tag."

And what does that do? Naruto asked the kitsune through his mind. Is it dangerous? Under normal circumstances, Naruto would've been wary about asking Kyuubi anything. But these weren't normal circumstances.

"In order, it opens a gate to another world, and it very well could be dangerous." As Kyuubi said this, the white light around Naruto faded into black as he fell unconcious.
