Author's Note: I really just had to rewrite the whole thing. I started this thing a bit too weirdly and things got crazy from there... So, here it is...

A Chance?
Chapter 1: Transported
"Naruto! Hurry up!" Sakura yelled at the orange-clad figure coming towards them.
"I know…you don't have to yell so loud, dattebayo…" panted Naruto as he arrived. "Where's Kakashi-sensei? …He's late again isn't he? Oi! Teme! At least say something when he arrives dammit! Being all silent doesn't exactly help us lash out on sensei! Gaaah! Koitsu! Are you even listening? Teme!"
Sasuke, who was leaning on a tree, scoffed and turned away. Naruto glared at him but the Uchiha continued to ignore him, no matter how intense his glares got every minute.
"Naruto cut that out! Seriously…I can't stand having the two of you fight everytime." Sakura ranted.
"Demo Sakura-chan!"
"Urusai Naruto!"
"Sasuke's a bastard! C'mon! Let me take a crack at 'im!"
"I said Urusai Naruto!"
"Demo Sakura-chan! Naze?"
"URUSAI!"
"A-Anoh, Sakura…"
"SHUT UP DAMMIT! HOW MUCH OF AN IDIOT COULD YOU POSSIBLY BE?! JUST SHU-" Sakura stopped. She was no longer facing the blond idiot, instead, she was facing their silver haired jounin sensei.
Sakura's face immediately flushed red. She was stuck in her pose, with her right fist raised up high, ready to punch Naruto, who was her original target.
"My, my…Everyone's in high spirits today. This is good I suppose…Ja! Let's get going." Said Kakashi cheerfully and went ahead, leading the way. Sasuke, who didn't seem to be interested on what happened earlier, followed suit.
Naruto went next, jogging up beside Kakashi. He seemed to have forgotten about it already.
"Kakashi-sensei! Not another D-rank!" he whined.
Oh no…I've just messed up…BIG TIME…and what's worse…it was in front of Sasuke…
"Sakura? You coming?" Kakashi yelled. The three of them were already quite far from where she was standing.
"H-Hai…" Sakura answered silently and followed them.
"Naruto…for the last time, all missions that are available to genin teams right now are D-ranks. Even if you'll whine all day the Hokage won't be able to change it."
"Demo Kakashi-sensei, we accomplished an A-rank mission! Surely they can make us an exception. I mean, Zabuza and Hakku were tough and we accomplished the mission no problem! And then there's the Chuunin Exams! Can't they assign us to a C-rank at least? Damn Tsunade-oba-chan! She knows how strong I am! Why'd she have to assign me to a D-rank?"
"Naruto, I think it's best if you stop wasting your energy on complaining. You're gonna need your energy today. We've got a pile of work-I mean D-rank missions to accomplish. And first is cleaning up the river at the top of the waterfall…again."
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAATT?!"
"Damn Tsunade-oba-chan! We're shinobi! Why the hell are we stuck doing jobs like these?!"
"Because were Genin and we don't have any other choice but to do this. Just stop complaining and concentrate, dobe. I've just been released from the hospital and I don't want to waste my energy on saving you if you'll fall down for the second time." Sasuke said.
"Kuso! Who asked you teme?!" Naruto yelled.
"Apparently you, baka." Sasuke replied.
"TEME!" Naruto yelled and ran towards Sasuke with his fist raised. He had barely just moved three steps when he stopped in his tracks.
"What's wrong? Too scared to attack me?" Sasuke taunted.
"Urusai baka! I-I think I'm stuck. Hnnnggggnn…Yup! I'm stuck!"
"You're so lame! You wanted to attack me and now you're stuck? Pathetic!" drawled Sasuke.
"Urusai! Somebody! Help me out! My foot's really stuck. I can't get it out!"
"Seriously Naruto, you're such a wimp! Here. On three. One…Two…Three!" Sakura said and pulled his arm. But Naruto was still stuck and was slowly descending, as though he was being sucked in.
"AAAAACCKKK! What's happening? Help me!"
"Kakashi-sensei! Sasuke! Naruto, he's-"
Kakashi and Sasuke immediately responded and tried to pull Naruto out. It didn't seem to have any effect and a few minutes later, only Naruto's head was visible.
"Help meeeeeeeeee! It's sucking me up even faster!"
"What do you think we've been doing all this time?!" yelled Sasuke, who, like Kakashi, grabbed hold of Naruto's head in the attempt of pulling him out.
"…"
"Oh no! He's underwater! He's gonna drown!"
Naruto watched the sweaty and terrified faces of his teammates and Sensei as they stuggled to pull him out. Naruto tried moving his hands from underneath but he can't feel his body.
"…been doing all this t-"
Naruto didn't hear the rest of Sasuke's sentence. He was now underwater and then all he could see was a purplish dimension all around him. Naruto looked around and then below. And what he saw terrified him.
Below was large gaping hole with sharp teeth at its edges. He was being sucked into it. Rapidly.
"NO! I DON'T WANNA BE EATEN! AAAAAHHH!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Naruto opened his eyes, stood up, and took deep gasping breaths. What was that? What happened? What? Where am I? Why's it so dark? Is this-Am I on a bed?
Naruto looked around. Where am I?
Suddenly, the door flew opened and two people came in.
"Naruto! What happened?" said one of them. The other one turned on the light. Once it was on, Naruto got a better view of them. The one who spoke was a man with spiky blond hair like him, only some strands were long which framed his face. There was a woman beside him. She had very long red hair and was very pretty.
"Naruto, what's going on?" the woman asked as she moved closer to Naruto. Naruto quickly scrambled off the bed and backed up against the wall opposite to the door.
"Naruto?" the woman asked.
"How do you know my name? Who are you? What do you want?" Naruto yelled. His hand went instinctively to the brown pouch he could normally locate behind his pants. What? Where's my equipmen-Oh no…I'm wearing pajamas aren't I?
"What? Naruto what are you saying?" said the man and walked towards him.
"Gah! Don't come any closer! Stay away!" Naruto yelled again. The man stopped and glanced at the woman beside him. The woman moved closer and held the man's arm.
"Naruto? What's going on?" the woman asked, fear evident in her voice. "Why are you talking like that?"
"What? Look, I don't know what kind of genjutsu this is but you better back off, dattebayo!" Naruto told them.
"Naruto stop joking around! You're scaring us…" said the woman whose face was full of fear now. The man went closer to Naruto despite his yells and placed a hand on his shoulder. Naruto froze for a moment before falling forward and landing on the floor, unconscious.
"Minato, what did you do?" asked the woman.
"Don't worry Kushina." Said the man. "I just put him to sleep."
"Don't worry?! You used one of those techniques again! I told you not to use that with our children!" Kushina screeched.
"Hai. Hai. Mataku!" Minato said as he scooped up Naruto and placed him on the bed. Kushina helped him in positioning Naruto. Once they were done, they stood back and looked at him.
"What do you think is wrong with him?" Kushina asked.
"To be honest, I don't know Kushina... Maybe he's still a bit sleepy. That's probably why he was acting up. Don't worry..."
"But...what about the reason why he screamed?"
"I don't know..." A yawn escaped Minato's lips. "I guess we'll talk about this tomorrow. I'm getting sleepy..."
"WHAAAT!?"
Kakashi, Sakura, and Sasuke all shifted uncomfortably as the Hokage bore down on them. Shizune, who was standing next to Team 7, was equally terrified.
Tsunade punched her desk in rage. The poor desk was disintegrated and a small crater had formed from where it once stood. She glared at them and her next words sent shivers down Team Seven's and Shizune's spines.
"Find him. NOW!"
All of them immediately ran outside her office. Yes, even Kakashi, the famous Copy Nin and considered prodigy.
