Note: Hey guys! This is my first story as well as chapter here in Fanfiction. If I have any errors then please by all means correct me either in a private message or a review. Hope you like the first chapter of Saving a Friend!
It's been three long years since Naruto had left to go training with Jiraiya to get stronger to save his best friend, Sasuke Uchiha, and his friends were expecting him to be coming home to Konoha very shortly. They were all eagerly waiting for their friends return, having met up with each other sometime earlier, and decided to wait at the front gate. They decided earlier that as soon as Naruto came back from his training trip that they would go and treat him to his favorite place to eat, Ichiraku Ramen, and then catch up with him as well as ask him about how his training went. What surprised them even more was that Team 7's squad leader, Kakashi, had actually showed up on time, something amazing all in itself since he was never anywhere on time.
Sakura was standing next to Hinata and Ino at the time and she looked excited to see Naruto again. She wanted to tell him everything that she had learned from Tsunade and that she could now help him in saving Sasuke as well. Hinata as always was very shy she was standing on the opposite side of Sakura with her hands clasped in front of her in a nervous gesture. Kakashi as always was slumped against a tree reading his Icha Icha book with no care in the world as he waited for his student's arrival. What none of them knew however was that something awful was about to happen where Jiraiya and Naruto were at.
- Where Naruto and Jiraiya are at-
Naruto and Jiraiya were currently walking through a dense forest off the outskirts of Fire Country. They weren't really talking right now since they were more focused on going back to Konoha. Naruto for one wanted to see his friends again and wanted to tell them all how much he had trained hard to go and bring Sasuke back home. As he was walking he suddenly felt a surge of chakra that was close by. He as well as Jiraiya stopped and listened. "What do you think that was Pervy Sage?" He turned his head to look at his teacher who was staring straight ahead at the moment just trying to figure out whose chakra that belonged to.
"Finally I've been waiting for you to show up Nine Tails." Out of nowhere from the direction that Jiraiya was looking at was Madara standing there looking rather calm and collected at the moment. Jiraiya and Naruto both looked shocked at seeing Madara there of all places they all knew that he was there most likely to capture Naruto and to get the Nine Tails from him, which would ultimately end in Naruto's death.
Madara jumped down from where he was standing at on a tree branch and landed gracefully. "Don't worry I'm not here to capture the Nine Tails…yet anyway." He chuckled as he said this and looked directly at Naruto. Naruto had an almost ominous feeling about this whole meeting between him, Jiraiya, and Madara. Surely Madara wasn't here to just not capture him or was he planning on doing something else to him. He and Jiraiya were in a defensive stance, him slightly behind Jiraiya; even though Madara had told them that he wasn't there to fight they were still not going to take their chances against him.
What they didn't realize was that Madara had made a shadow clone before they had showed up. That shadow clone was hidden in the darkness of the trees at the moment with its Mangekyo Sharingan glinting red in the shadows. The shadow clone quietly snuck behind where Jiraiya and Naruto were at and quickly put his hand on Naruto's shoulder teleporting him away to where only Madara knew. Jiraiya quickly turned around seeing that Naruto was gone and in his place stood one of Madara's shadow clones. Madara got rid of his shadow clone and seemed to chuckle. "So long Jiraiya." As soon as he said this he disappeared to go to where his shadow clone had teleported Naruto to.
Jiraiya quickly left where he was at, jumping through the numerous trees that surrounded him, and finally made it back to Konoha in about 40 minutes. Everyone that was waiting for Jiraiya and Naruto seemed to be extremely happy to see Jiraiya the only problem was that Naruto himself wasn't there. Sakura and Hinata were the first to notice and spoke to Jiraiya about it. "Jiraiya-Sama where's Naruto?" They asked this almost like they were scared about what had happened to their friend. Jiraiya looked over to them both while everyone in front of the gate was watching him. "Naruto's been captured by Madara."
And there's chapter 1! Not bad for a first chapter if I do say so myself. :D hopefully I didn't make too many grammar mistakes in this chapter. What do you think is going to happen to Naruto now that Madara has him? A big thank you to Princess Santa Clause for betaing this chapter for me I appreciate it! Anyway please leave a review on what you think on this fanfic. Until next time!
