Team 7: Missing in Action
Five weeks passed since anyone from the Village hidden in the Leaves seen Team 7. No word has come from the Sand village about their whereabouts. The last mission they were sent on was at the Village Hidden in the Sand. They were sent to capture a thief that was teleporting all over the place with an unknown jutsu.
At the Hokage tower, Tsunade still stared at the gate where the team left. She now dreaded sending more young ninja to these missions after the disappearance of the team. Muttering to herself, she knew they didn't die…but it felt that they were gone from this world. But why is she worrying right now, there is a stack of papers that needed to be signed…papers she was putting off for 5 weeks.
Heading for her desk, she started filling the mountains of forms that were all from the villagers and their usual complaints. Others were from other villages needing help…things that Team 7 would have done. Though what Caught the Hokage's eye was one paper for a request to voyage off to the Sand Village…And it was signed by Hinata.
Probably the most depressed person about Team 7's disappearance. Hinata sat at the gates, taking guard duty. She wasn't really paying much attention to her job. She was waiting for the day for Team 7 to arrive. More specifically, the day a certain blonde haired ninja would arrive. But today wasn't that day. She sighed and continues to stare at the road ahead.I
Some people were sent to the Sand Village and search for the ninjas. Neji was on the scene, trying to use his special ability to search for the missing team. Even with his advance 360 degree vision, he couldn't find them.
Bushy Bro- I mean Rock Lee wasn't sitting around. He probably ran around the entire Sand Village 12 times looking for them. As well, Guy Sensei wasn't relaxing somewhere. His reasons for looking…to attempt to beat Kakashi in a game of poker…hoping it's something he can win after losing a one-legged race, and a game that resembled ping-pong. But, after the 13th run around the village, still no luck.
"What happened between the thief and Naruto's team?" Bushy Brows asked as they turned a corner, "It's like they just fell off the face of the earth."
"Something just hit me," Guy excitedly shouted as Lee stopped to hear, "Maybe they did fall off the face of the earth."
Lee looked at his sensei with a confused expression, but then realized what he was going at, "That's right, the thief had a strange teleporting jutsu…but wait, wouldn't the team head back to the village even if they were teleported somewhere?"
"Yes," Guy responded, "But what if they were sent somewhere where they couldn't normally travel back…somewhere not of this world."
Lee thought for a few seconds, "You mean to tell me the thief could be an alien?"
Guy thought for a few more moments and responded, "Tsunade said that many people who teleport sometimes never are seen again. The jutsu is unstable so much that a slight attack could send a person into another universe."
Lee looked at his sensei in shock, "You mean to tell me that we will never get to see Naruto and the others again?"
Guy sadly nodded, "I'm afraid it could be a possibility. There's no point in looking around for people who might not exist in this world. If the hokage hasn't realized it yet, let's go inform her of one possible fate for Team Kakashi."
After that was said, the two gathered the search party and headed back to their village…
…but what happened to Team 7? Let's go back 5 weeks ago.
After searching for this notorious thief for a few hours, they finally caught up to him as he was low on chakra. The thief was a short man with blue eyes, short red hair, and a dark suit that most thieves wore. Team 7, consisting of Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi, who Tired the thief out, was a great plan, and the thief was too tired to continue. He kneeled on the ground, panting as he tried to muster any energy to teleport again.
"Be careful," Kakashi warned his teammates, "He may have some energy left for a teleport, and disturbing it in anyway could send us to unknown places- Naruto slow down!"
"Why?" Naruto yelled, excited that the thief was a mere few meters away, "he's cornered."
"Just be careful Naruto," Sakura scolded as she bonked her teammate over the head, "I rather not teleport over an active volcano or anything like that!"
While Naruto and Sakura were arguing, the thief stashed a food pill just for the occasion that he was low on chakra. He quickly swallowed the pill and felt his energy return tenfold. He attempted to teleport before being apprehended, and began performing hand signs for his teleportation jutsu.
"He's teleporting!" Kakashi said as the two stopped arguing and looked at the man who was making hand signs, "It's too la- Naruto! What are you doing?"
Ignoring the warning of not interrupting anyone using teleportation, Naruto dashed forward and charged up a small Rasengon to stun the man. The man looked mortified as he had to finish the jutsu before getting hit. His hand signs came out even faster.
"You're not getting away after all this time. AAAAAAHH!" Naruto Yelled as he nearly was in blasting distance. Kakashi and Sakura chased after the blonde to stop him. But it was too late. The man performing the jutsu screwed up the hand signs due to speeding his rate up, and now has no idea where they were going.
"You screwed us all kid!" The man said as he was hit by the blonde's attack, and a bright, yellow light enveloped the two.
"Huh?" Naruto was heard saying before the light consumed him as well.
"We need to-" Kakashi was cut off as he was also sucked in. Sakura attempted to turn from the light, but was quickly out sped, and joined the others. The nearby villagers noticed only the light the thief used, and thought he got away again.. Little did they know, the thief wouldn't be bothering them for a while.
Back at the hokage's tower, Guy proposed the idea that Team 7 might have been teleported somewhere not on this earth. Many of the ninjas were standing right at the door listening.
"Only Naruto would be dumb enough to interrupt a teleportation," Shikamaru muttered while listening, "Ugh, it's such a drag to listen to this."
Hinata just glared at the lazy ninja, but resumed staring sadly at her fingers. Ino was a bit glad for at least Sakura to vanish…but a nagging feeling inside her wanted them back. Sheeno, sensing that nearly everyone in the room was acting like the team had died spoke something to change the mood.
"They just teleported to a place unknown to us. There is still a good chance of them still being alive. We shouldn't act like we're morning their deaths."
Lee jumped in, "Yeah! We should be hoping for them to have good travels wherever they are. They could be doing some good for the place they could end up in."
Tenten and Neji nodded, and during the meeting in the hokage's office, Guy also nodded…even though he wasn't in listening distance.
"Let's hope the power of youth will help them on their travel!" Lee shouted.
"Yeah!" Guy shouted for no reason in the meeting as everyone in the room looked oddly at him, "…Lee said something uplifting somewhere else…"
"…" everyone resumed the meeting on whether or not to continuing searches in other areas.
After hearing these words, Hinata looked up to the sky. She wondered which land far above the skies, and maybe far apart from this universe did Naruto go to. As she thought of Lee's words, she knew that he would do good wherever he went. It was one of his qualities she grew fond of. But, deep inside her, she wished he would return.
"AAAAAAAAHH! The four teleporting ninjas shouted as they were thrashed around and sent into many different locations, only to be quickly pulled away. Soon, they were warping to other planets…which had no air. Luckily, it was for a second.
Eventually, they separated from the thief, as he was flung somewhere through this portal. The tunnels were very bright, and the three remaining ninjas had their eye's close to resist the light.
"You had to go screw the man's jutsu up after being warned about it," Sakura shouted as they teleported into a random mountain, and pulled out quickly.
"AAAAAHH, I was getting tired of running after this guy," Naruto complained as they warped into a dark region of some unknown place.
The place had a cold and eerie feeling to it…like only the dead exist, but the bright light came and warped them away…well, Naruto and Sakura didn't notice a ghostly hand pull Kakashi from the group.
"Huh? What?" Kakashi looked around confused. The two ninja with him teleported without him, "Great…I'm stuck in a place that smells like death, and Naruto is roaming around the universe…"
Suddenly remembering that he was pulled out of the warp, Kakashi tried to look for the beast that did it. Soon, a young kid appeared in his view. The kid looked like an Ochiha, yet he only had one eye. After studying the apparition for only a half a second, Kakashi smiled under his mask.
"Long time no see Kakashi."
"So, I'm in the realm where the dead roam," Kakashi said as Obito, the person that yanked him away, was floating in circles around him, "Can you tell me why you separated me from my teammates?"
Obito smiled in his response, "I'm bored…and after seeing that you were teleporting around the universe, I wondered if you would come here. And when I saw the bright light, I quickly pulled you here to torture you a bit…no, not that kind of torture," Obito exclaimed as Kakashi looked around for any demons.
"Well, after your done with me," Kakashi said with some harshness in his voice, "Mind you tell me how to leave this place.?"
Obito poked the mask on Kakashi's face and started performing the hand signs for the teleportation jutsu, "It doesn't work for the dead, but I believe I'm allowed to warp anyone away from this place if they don't belong."
"You spent a lot of time training here," Kakashi said as Obito laughed.
"No, I just copied that ninja's hand signs while you were chasing him. I'm surprised that you didn't use your Sharingan to teleport after him."
Under Kakashi's mask, anyone could have saw his teeth gritting after hearing that.
"…He did it out of our views."
"Not mines!" Obito shouted as he opened a window to many different realms, "Let's watch your partners survive wherever they are…"
Kakashi stared at the odd windows. They resembled screens to many worlds. There were too many to count, yet Obito quickly found the one that Naruto and Sakura were in, "Hmmm…it seems that they landed in a very interesting world."
Kakashi was trying to locate the screen Obito was watching, but Obito just enlarged the one he was staring at, "Well, the annoying girl isn't with the blonde, but Naruto landed at a very good spot…at a very good time."
"Hmmm," Kakashi stared at the odd world Obito was watching, and saw nothing interesting.
"Just watch," Obito said as he laid on his back in mid-air.
The landing left Naruto unconscious on a sandy, and dirty ground. Wind blew across his body as he began to stir himself awake. The taste of bad Raman was in his mouth…usually that is what he described the taste of sand. Hey, maybe they are in the desert near the Village Hidden in the Sand.
"What…hap- AAAAAHH!" Naruto shouted as the moment he opened his eyes, extremely bright sunlight entered his eyes. The heat around him was unbearable. Yet, but the light was more painful. He shut his eyes tight, and began to open them slightly. His eyes didn't recover yet, but he thinks' he sees a figure approaching. Though, even with the sound of the wind, Naruto could just hear the sound of something large and metal hitting hard on another large metal object. Naruto hoped it was someone friendly…he felt tired, and his senses were being impaired by the wind and sunlight.
Sakura woke herself up in a much dimmer area. She was lying on a medical bed, and saw a strange, floating metal object next to the bed. It looked like a floating metal man with some letters emblazoned on its front. But, before she could look at it any further, it floated away into another room. But as soon as it left, a voice began to speak.
"Is our strange friend doing all right?" Came a voice that sounded like the person was an old male human.
"Yes sir," came the voice of another man that sounded like it was said through a plastic cup, "Her vitals were in perfect condition, and sensors showed that she was no stranger to combat. She is one tough soldier!"
"Good," the man responded as another person was heard approaching the two people.
"Did anyone find out how she fell out of the sky in the middle of the training grounds?" The voice sounded like it came from a young female. The old man began to speak again.
"Everyone here found it baffling that someone just dropped out of the sky like that. At least none of our initiates accidently shot her."
"But the next matter that the people were talking about was letting an outsider enter a restricted area," the female voice responded.
"You know very well that the Brotherhood look to help those that are in need. If rules need to be altered, then let them be."
"Fine…but we still need to question her." Suddenly, Sakura sensed that the footsteps were heading in her direction. Well, if they didn't kill her while unconscious, why would they do her any harm? Relaxing her muscles, she awaited what was going to Approach her and speak. Will it be human, or more of those metal things?
This take place with the Shipuden versions of these character's. It's also AU.
I wonder if I gave to much description on what world they landed on? Can anyone guess? And how will they return back to where they came?
The category and name of the story will be changed when the second chapter is added. It's going to be a cross-over…but I'll add the second chapter first, and then change the category.
