A/N - The current world of Naruto where this story starts is sometime after he has developed sage-mode and defeated Pain. I'm not necessarily sure if this story will loosely be canon and follow the storyline, or will split off into an entirely new world. We'll both find out as the story develops. There will be a few amount of changes in the world, hopefully none find too drastic.
Setting
As Naruto and his friends grow as shinobi they constantly discover new and greater threats, prompting them to grow stronger themselves. Their destiny can only be shaped and forged by their own will. Will Naruto and the gang create a masterpiece? Or shall their futures crumble before their eyes. When Naruto and Hinata get thrusted into another dimension after uncovering a mysterious relic, how will they react and more importantly, how will they get back home? With the looming threat of Madara in their own dimension, they can't afford to spend time in another one. And If they can reach their home how will they stop the overwhelming force that is the Akatsuki and their allies from thrusting the world into oblivion.

Flashback - Self Explanatory
Chapter One – A Foreign World in a nostalgic place.
Naruto groaned as he struggled with his eyelids to force them open. His head pounded like no other and his body ached like he had been in a sparring match with Baa-chan.
He got to his feet and tried to focus his eyes in the dark to no avail, the only thing he could make out was the faint glow of the mysterious relic he found which he believes caused his current pain. Naruto forced his arms to move and crawl towards the relic, grabbing it when it was within arms length. He tried to study the device, but found nothing that stood out to him other than the foreign symbols that were etched onto it.
Shaking his head he carefully stood up, once again attempting to adjust his eyes to the darkness of his surroundings. He stretched out his free hand to try and balance himself, his hand finding a cold and damp wall he leaned against it. Naruto was having trouble remembering exactly what had transpired just moments ago.
After a while his eyes adjusted, and he saw that he was in a cave. It hit him that he was exploring the cave while on an S-rank mission. He was supposed to root out-.. Naruto strained but couldn't remember what his mission objective was.
Naruto had his eyes closed while coming back to the world of the living when he heard a disturbance in the same room, a rustling of the ground in front of him. His senses sharpened and his body forcing him to go into alert-mode. A soft groan came from somewhere nearby.
Hinata.
Naruto remembered that he was with Hinata before he blacked out. Teams 7 and 8 were working on this mission together since both teams had one member currently elsewhere. Naruto and Hinata were scouting a room while Sakura and Kiba were outside keeping watch.
He groaned again as his brain pained him once more. Trying to push past his shakiness he took a step forward, calling out to Hinata.
"Hinata, are you there?" he asked only half-expecting a response.
He fumbled a bit more before his left leg bumped into something. Naruto bent down slowly and discovered it was a body. He mentally cursed to himself, if only he had a light source!
He reached out his hand that was previously supporting him against the wall and slid his hand over the inanimate object, trying to figure out if it was Hinata or something else.
Hinata's brain went into overload.
Flashback -
She awoke moments before around the same time Naruto did, and was also in the same predicament of having trouble with collecting herself. She found it impossible to move, not able to speak. Her mouth lazily moved but no audible noises came forth.
After she heard Naruto stand up, she took an extra effort to move as well, and managed to slightly roll over so she was on her back. She gave an inward sigh of relief when she noticed that Naruto took notice. Hinata decided to take a moment or two longer before trying to move again. What a mistake that was.
End Flashback -
If Naruto had the ability to see in the dark, he would have been drawn to the fact that Hinata's face was a scarlet shade of red.
Her eyes were blasted open when she felt Naruto's hand rest on her thigh. Unable to move or speak, she was having trouble to convey to him that she was awake and here.
"Hinata, is that you? Are you awake?" Naruto was able to croak out, as his hand innocently moved further up the young Hyuga's body trying to discern who it was for itself.
Hinata twitched her body with her tremendous will to move, the amount of embarrassment she was being subjected too was torturing her endlessly. She felt Naruto's hand move past her thigh onto her stomach. Her face reached a new depth of red when she felt his hand reach the bottom of her chest, the side of his hand bumping into the bottom of her breast.
Once again, Naruto found himself on the floor, in pain, and unaware of what exactly happened to him moments before. He was trying to figure out where Hinata was, and he thought he found her. He was checking with his hand because he could not see when all of a sudden he was knocked on his back as a sudden unstoppable force whacked him in the chin.

Feeling confused and slightly abused, he grew a bit agitated.
"Ow, what the hell. How come I keep getting knocked out!" He exclaimed to no one in particular.
He heard inaudible muttering right next to him.
"Hello, is anyone there?" He asked, trying to discern what made the noise.
A whisper he could barely make out confirmed to him that it was Hinata.
"I-i-i'm sorry Naruto-kun. I d-didn't mean to hit you. You s-s-surprised me." Hinata meekly forced out.
Upon realizing it was Hinata who whacked him the second time he lost his agitation.
"Oh Hinata, it's okay. Don't worry about it. I was just confused. Are you alright?" Naruto asked as he got up once again.
He walked over to Hinata and helped her get on her feet, moving one of her arms over his shoulders to help support her as she stood.
"F-f-fine. I'm f-fine." Hinata stuttered out, embarassed to be helpless within such close proximity as Naruto.
"Where are we?" She managed to say shortly after, slowly regaining composure.
"I'm not sure, I remember we were scouting out a cavern on an S ranked mission, and then the next thing I know, I wake up in pain with you also unconscious."
"Do you think the others are alright Naruto-Kun?"
"Yeah, of course! They can handle themselves, Sakura and Kiba are capable shinobi." Naruto stated as Hinata's question reminded him that it was the four of them together who were on the mission.
"If I remember correctly, they were waiting outside while we scouted the inside, so it couldn't of been too long otherwise they would of come in to get us!"
Hinata seemed a bit relieved upon hearing Naruto's words.
"Yeah, you are right. We should get out of here and reassess ourselves Naruto-kun."
Naruto helped her move slowly while they felt their way through the cave. "I agree, if we were knocked out something must of happened." He looked into his other hand holding the relic, "I think it had something to do with this, I remember touching it and it emitting a really bright light."
Hinata looked down at the relic that Naruto was holding and nodded her head in agreement, also recalling such events.

After some time of slowly working their way through the cavern, they saw a light upon turning a corner. With growing encouragement from the source of freedom, they attempted to hurry their way out.
Upon reaching freedom, Naruto felt a rush of brisk air hit his face and body, refreshing him.
"Kyaaaa! It's nice to be back outside, the stale air in there was really starting to get to me!" Naruto said as he took both his arms and stretched them into the air while grinning with his eyes closed.
"Uhm, Naruto-Kun?"
Naruto looked over to Hinata wondering what it is she could want.
"Yes Hinata?"
"Uh.. Naruto-kun, where are we?"
"We're in the Land of the Mist, remember Hinata? Our mission?" Naruto stated like it was common knowledge.
"Well... yes... but. Naruto-Kun? Why are there two moons?" She gestured into the sky. "And why are the tree leaves purple?" She then gestured to the trees.
Naruto blinked a couple of times taking this all in. His mind tried to fathom a reason that made this all plausible, but none came to mind. After a significant response in a delay, all he managed to force out of his mouth was- "WHAAAAAAA?"
Well, That's that. First chapter, hoped yall liked it. When I get more into the story and have it more fleshed out the chapters should become longer! Thanks for reading it!
