(NOTE): Hello! I'm kinda breaking tradition here by posting a chapter fic. I usually post a oneshot when I write for a show for the first time, but I've watched Naruto long enough to at least understand the characters, and besides, this is AU and some of the characters are OOC. Not TOO much but enough to at least notice.
NE way, what first inspired me to write this was when I visited San Francisco and became facinated with Alcatraz (I know, I'm strange, but better weird than boring ;)) and, I have no idea why, but this just popped into my head as I was on the tour.
Backstory (sorta): In this story, the lands (I know they're villages, but it was too complicated for me so they're lands instead) of Leaf, Sand, Mist, Cloud, and Stone are all under the control of the Sound Empire. The Sound ninja gather up anyone in the captive lands that show special abilities to try to force them into joining the Sound Empire. Those who refuse are sent to the Sound Penitentiary (yeah image Alcatraz, k?) which also holds common but dangerous criminals. The familiar Rookie 9, Team Gai, the Sand Siblings, and Haku (because I luv him! ) are among the prisoners being held there, and one night, they finally get the opportunity to escape...
(BTW, this story is different from my others, just to make it more intersting. At the end of each chapter, there will be something to vote on. Sometimes big, sometimes small, it just depends :). This first chapter is just filled with basic information, but remember to vote at the end!!)
