A/N: Hello one and all. At first I didn't really read Fan Fiction, mainly because I didn't have the time for it. But then someone sent me a link to a fan fic where Naruto ended up on Hinata's team instead of Kiba. I absolutely loved it and have fallen in love with other fan fic as well.
So this is my first fan fic outing and I figured I'd stick with the canon characters for this. So I tried to think of what I could do with the characters everyone loves without just doing weird other stuff that happens to them (like filler hell yay!). So I thought and thought and thought… and about 30 seconds later I remembered a picture I saw of Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke dressed up in strange clothes as if they were from another dimension or something.
I'm also going to use that pic as their clothing bases so don't be surprised when I describe their final clothes and they're not wearing the stuff from the show/manga. (Sasuke's going to be wearing his original stuff for a chapter or two until I have him switch over. There is a point that's why I'm having him start off in his original stuff.)
So lightning struck my brain and that's what I decided to do, a parallel dimension of the Naruto universe. So this fan fic will try to answer the question of "What if?" So we will examine what might have happened if certain events had ensued differently.
And just to calm some people down (incase people are fearful I may change they're favorite character) I'm really only changing Team 7 everyone else should be just as we all know and enjoy them. Just with different experiences cause events had changed. So without further ado let's start the prologue where we see the events that changed Team 7.
------------------------------
Prologue:
In the middle of a battle between Iwa-nin and Konoha-nin two Konoha ninja fight desperately to save their friend from the clutches of an Iwa-nin. Working together they manage to land a significant blow to the Iwa-nin. Sensing defeat is near unless he does something desperate their enemy launches a large boulder at the two.
"Kakashi!" One of the Konoha ninja yelled and moved to shove his friend out of the way.
However, the one named Kakashi stood his ground and flipped the other so that he went right back out of the path of the boulder. It came to a deafening crash with the one named Kakashi still underneath its path.
Underneath the boulder in a small cave Kakashi's friends coughed from all the dust and immediately looked to find their friend. They found him crushed under the boulder with only his upper left torso and head exposed. They rushed over to aid him. The one that had tried to save him from the boulder pulled the trapped boy's mask off revealing a rather handsome face underneath.
"Can you breath better now?" He asked.
"I can't breath at all baka. I have a boulder on my lungs." Kakashi responded.
"Well come on you just got promoted to Jounin. You can't wimp out now." He told his friend.
"God I hate you Obito." Kakashi said.
"Come on try and get him out of their I can still heal him." Their female friend said.
"It's too late Rin." Kakashi said. "Just get out of here kill those Iwa bastards for me and get back to Konoha with sensei for me… I guess I can't escape the heritage my father left me… I'm a fool that'd rather save his friends than complete a mission too… I have our talk to thank for that Obito… Now go!"
Rin and Obito shook their heads no but Kakashi just kept yelling at them to go until they finally caved and began to leave. Pulling Kakashi's mask on Obito left the cave first he activated his Sharingan and prepared the jutsu that Kakashi had just recently finished, and thanks to the Sharingan, Obito copied. He ran off zigging and zagging until he got to the Iwa-nin that killed his friend and used the jutsu his friend invented to kill him.

7 years later…
Naruto was running down the street towards the Hokage tower. He loathed having to meet the old man once a week but it got him out of sight from the rest of the village and he wouldn't have to deal with their glares and hatred, some of the more terrible villagers even through things at him. He didn't really complain when they did that though. He usually got free fruit out of it.
He ducked in between merchants and around families as he ran to the tower. He finally arrived and began the long trek up the stairs to get to the old man's office. Some of the ninja in the tower gave him friendly looks while others gave him ones of contempt. A lot of the ninja that frequented the tower had gotten to know the boy a little bit at least and knew that he was all around a good kid. Some of the others though refused to see him as anything other than a pest and a demon.
Naruto arrived at the door to the Hokage's office and without even knocking just burst right through and collapsed into a chair exhausted. The Sandaime had been staring out the window at Konoha just taking a moment to enjoy the peace of the village when Naruto burst in. After the boy had collapsed into the chair Sarutobi slowly turned in his until they were facing each other. He had a warm smile on his face as he looked at the boy who had to be barely older than 6.
"So enjoy your first week at the ninja academy Naruto?" he asked the young boy.
"NO!" Naruto exclaimed. "None of the teachers answer any of my questions. Most of the time they just act like they don't even see me but sometimes I'm the only one with my hand raised so they have to see me at least some of the time. I mean there's one good teacher but that's only one class. I'm doing horrible in the rest."
The Sandaime was a little surprised at what the boy was telling him. But it passed quickly he hadn't entirely been oblivious to the possibility of these events. So he sadly nodded as the boy continued to complain about how the teachers didn't treat him like the other students. When the boy ran out of breath and seemed to be done complaining the Hokage spoke up.
"That is sad, Naruto, that the teachers are refusing to teach you. You know I was quite the teacher back in the day when I was actually a teacher. You could stop by my office every day after school and I could help you learn what the teachers went over in class that day." He offered to the boy.
Naruto thought about it for a minute before smiling and looking up at the old man. "That sounds great old man."
A vein in the Hokage's forehead started pulsing. "Could you not call me old man! Why aren't you more respectful!" He stood up an leaned over the desk to glare at the boy.
Naruto flinched as the Hokage yelled at him. "Gomen… old man Hokage…"
With the vein still pulsing the Hokage sat back down and closed his eyes. "That's better… I guess…"
And with that the pact between the Hokage and Naruto to teach the boy was sealed.
------------------------------
1 Year later…
Sasuke was running home from the ninja academy. His messenger back was smacking against his right knee but he didn't care he just kept running. He had gotten his grades that day and he was first in his ninja class. Albeit just barely, a blonde haired boy had lost to him by one point in ninjutsu and that's what secured his rank as the first in the class. But still he was first in his class and that should be more than enough to make is father proud.
The boy turned the corner to enter his clan's compound only to stop suddenly. He looked around and saw that something wasn't right. It was nighttime but none of the lights were on and it couldn't be late enough for everyone to be asleep yet. He moved cautiously towards home unsure of what was going on until he turned another corner and saw the street was filled with the bodies of his relatives and friends.
He stood their shocked and scared for a minute before he began running. He ran and he ran and he ran. He finally reached his house and began shouting for his mother and father trying to find his parents. He finally found them. But he was already too late. He found them dead in their storage room. He began to cry and crawled forward trying to wake them up.
"Don't be so pathetic Sasuke… They're dead." A voice said.
Sasuke looked up and saw his brother standing on the other side of his parents.
"Why Itachi-nii-san?" He asked. "Why did this happen to the clan?"
"I had to do it to test my ability." Itachi responded.
"What? No… Not you Itachi-nii-san." Sasuke pleaded.
"You're weak Sasuke. You're not even worthy enough to kill." He said.
Hearing that Sasuke jumped up and ran off. He didn't even make it down his street before Itachi intercepted him and used his Mangekyo Sharingan on his brother showing him the destruction of their clan over and over again for 48 hours in Mangekyo's time. Once he was finished Sasuke collapsed and just sat there staring at the floor drool dripping down his chin onto the floor. Itachi smirked and told his brother what he would have to do to kill him and then left.
Half an hour later ANBU members with the Hokage and Uchiha Obito arrived and began looking for survivors. The Hokage and Obito kneeled down next to Sasuke and tried to rouse him from his stupor.
"You're lucky we were in a meeting Obito or whoever killed the rest of the clan might have gotten you too." The Hokage said.
"I know… That's the scary part… someone was powerful enough to take out the whole clan." Obito said. "Come on Sasuke time to get you someplace safe."
The two of them picked the boy up and carried him to the Konoha Hospital. Where after a few days awoke from his stupor but was scared of even the slightest noise.
------------------------------
6 Months later…
A pink haired girl ran after school to catch up with her friends. They were talking about boys that they liked. As girls their age were common to do. She was quiet as she caught up to them. She had only become friends with them recently so she was slightly afraid to voice her own opinions.
However, her blonde friend was determined to bust her out of her shell.
"Say who do you like Sakura-chan?" she asked.
"Ano… well Sasuke was kind of cute before he got all depressed and stuff… I don't think I like him anymore though." Sakura said. "Who do you like Ino-chan?"
"Me? Uhh…" The question had caught her by surprise.
"That's easy! She likes Naruto!" Said one of the other girls.
"Really? But he's so loud and annoying." Sakura said.
"That doesn't matter to Ino. She likes him cause he's #1 in the class." The girl said.
"Hey! I'm right here!" Ino yelled at the girls. "Don't talk about me like I'm not here!"
Sakura and the other girl cringed in front of the angry blonde.
"So Sakura who do you like?" Ino asked again sterner this time.
"Umm… Shikamaru's kind of cute I guess…" Sakura said.
"Shikamaru? But he's so lazy and he knows absolutely nothing about women." Ino said.
"Yeah," some of the other girls agreed with her.
"Well I don't know then…" Sakura said.
"Don't worry Sakura-chan" Ino said, "When you find the right person it'll just hit you and you'll know."
Ino wrapped her arm around the downcast girl and they all marched forward to go to their favorite diet restaurant.
------------------------------
A/N: And there you go. My first attempt at fan fic… well sort of. I mean it's not much by way of story. This is just the prologue to set up the changes in their characters. I know I said I wasn't going to change any of the characters out of Team 7 but when I had to say who Ino liked I just figured I'd switch it over to Naruto cause he was the new #1 in the class. So she's a power whore oh well. I never really liked her anyway… Kidding. I'll see where it develops. It may change later.
So please review! Bash me, hate me, praise me, ask me questions, do whatever just leave something so I can get a general feel for how this is being responded to… PLEASE. (Plus reviews will probably encourage me to write more.)
Next chapter I won't be basing off of events that have already happened it'll be more of me so that should be good I think.
