Warning this is AU.
Wormholes are fickle things. No one has ever gotten close enough to really figure out what they did to a human being, except for four Warriors. Warriors that had come through a wormhole created by a rabbit goddess as her last ditch effort to place their world under an unbreakable illusion.
Naruto Uzumaki was the first one to fall through. He had done his damnedest to keep everyone away from that black hole. It had howled and sucked in loose dirt and discarded weapons when it had opened its yawning mouth. The pull was strong but stable for the most part and could have been ignored with the help of Chakra. The hole had turned unstable when Kaguya finally went down. The sudden spike in force levels had ripped Naruto off his feet and face first into the gaping blackness of the churning hole.
Kakashi Hatake was the second one to fall through. He had fought Kaguya with what little chakra he had left and as a result, couldn't keep himself grounded when the pull suddenly got stronger. Had he been closer to the dimensional rift he would have been the first to be swallowed up.
Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno stood no chance against the gales of wind rushing into the opening. They had rushed forward to try and grab their teammates and missed a step. Sakura tumbled and rolled along the ground until she had fallen through. Sasuke had slid on his back all the way through.
The landing was harsh.
Where ever they had crash landed to was hard and made out of cement. It bruised ribs, broke wrists, strained muscles, and of course offered concussions. The world in their eyes had swum in dark blues and blacks before nothing at all.
All four of them landed on the top of a rather tall home.
The first thing Sakura thought when she had come to was, ow then soft. Whatever it was that she was laying on was fluffy, it felt wonderful to her bruised and more than likely broken rib cage. She had frowned when memories of hitting the ground assaulted her throbbing brain.
She wrenched open her aching eyes and was relieved to see that whoever had taken her here had thought about keeping the lights low. She turned her head and forced her eyes closed as a wave of nausea swept over her making her vision swim. She groaned quietly and forced her small reserves of Chakra to her head to calm the throbbing.
She had taken the time to slowly mend her body as she laid prone to the world. It wouldn't do to be so weak when she didn't have a clue of where in the world she even was.
Within a twenty-minute time frame, she had deduced that she had a concussion, three fractured ribs, large bruises down her back, a strained muscle in the back of her right thigh and a dislocated arm that had been popped back into place. The joint was actually put back into place rather well but it wasn't completely healed. Whoever she was dealing with was a civilian at best, at worst she was the least injured and therefore least likely to die from not getting treated with chakra. Her ribs were bound and so was her head.
She opened her eyes and gingerly sat up. She glanced around her taking in the smallish room she was laying in. She noticed the other three right away but ignored them in favor of searching the room. There were three windows about three feet wide each and about four feet tall, all three sat against the far wall opposite of the dark cherry door and about four feet from the ground. All three windows had drawn curtains that were a light green shade letting in the very little light the bedroom (because there was a single bed in the room, just big enough for four kids.), other than the bed, the windows and a few darkened square shapes on the wall the room was empty.
She had turned back to the other three when one of them shifted and lifted himself up to sit against the wall. Green clashed with gray. Her eyes widened.
"Kakashi?" He tilted his head to the left a little bit.
"Sakura?" His voice wasn't the same, but neither was hers.
"Why do you look like a four-year-old?" She questioned ignoring the way her voice cracked at the end.
"I could ask you the same thing." He stated before looking down at the other two prone bodies on the bed with them. "Sasuke, Naruto." His brow furrowed. "Looks like they are in the same boat."
A knock on the door forced Sasuke's eyes open and nearly made Sakura jump. She turned to the doorway when it softly opened. A child stood on the other side. Her Ash-blue eyes wide with wonder. "I knew it." She turned back around into the darkness of just beyond the door. "Mommy, I told you!" She whisper-shouted down the hallway.
She let herself in the room. She didn't look much older than any of them. Her hair was in loose pale blonde spikes around her head that ended about chin level and had rounded cheeks. A small puckered mouth under a button nose and long pale eyelashes that brushed her cheeks whenever she blinked. The child was wearing a tee shirt and leggings both in the color of green. Sakura nearly shuttered just thinking about how much Gai and Lee would have swooned at the sight.
The child put her hands on her hips, "You all gave us such a scare dropping on the roof like you did."
Sakura held up her hand. "Gomen?" None of what the little girl was saying made any sense.
The girl's eyes widened, "Gomen, I didn't realize you spoke Japanese."
Sasuke had sat up by that point, he was giving the other child the stank eye.
"My mom and I found you on our roof in the middle of the night." The child frowned, "You made a lot of noise banging on the roof like you did. We thought it was going to cave in."
"We are sorry." Kakashi spoke with a sheepish look on his face, "What were you speaking when you first entered the room?" Sakura could see the calculating gleam in his eyes.
"English." She tilted her head to the left a bit, "You don't know what English is?"
"No." Sakura shook her head and nudged Naruto with her foot out of the other girl's sight.
The child's eyes lit up and she clapped her hands together in front of her body, "I knew it!"
The door swung open again. "Knew what Musume?" A woman about three feet taller than the child walked in. Her legs were long and thin, just like the rest of her body. She wore a white lab coat over a white button up that both of them were rolled up to her elbows and slightly wrinkled from wear, black slacks that were both form-fitting and loose at the same time. She was barefoot and had stress wrinkles on her lightly tanned skin. Her black hair was tied tightly back behind her head and reading glasses hanging from her neck.
"Last night, it wasn't just the Justice League! It was an actual black hole." The daughter laughed gleefully.
The woman sighed. "Mika, could you perhaps go and make our guests something to eat?"
Mika's shoulders drooped slightly. "Hai, Okaa-sama." Mika walked out.
The woman's shoulders dropped and she pinched the bridge of her nose. "I didn't really know what to think when the neighbors were calling and telling stories about sand and strange weapons falling from the sky. It was about midnight and dark, how in the world can three old senile couples see all of that? Then came the crashes." The woman looked over her hand at the each of them, passing over Naruto's sleeping form. "Please tell you four did not just jump through a wormhole." The woman practically begged.
"We aren't a bunch of idiots." Sasuke snapped.
The woman straightened out. "I am not calling you an idiot. The science behind wormholes is still just a myth. We are working on it though." The woman placed her hands on her hips mirroring her daughters earlier stance. "I do not want to know your secrets, I'm a builder, not a researcher. There are some things I believe must stay mysterious."
Sakura blinked slightly confused.
"I am offering you four a place to stay and a place to learn if you would like to." The woman walked to the door. "You all could stay with my daughter and me." She placed her hand on the door. "Just think about it for a moment. I'll give you some time."
"Momma! There's someone at the door for you!" Mika's voice traveled into the room from the open door.
"My name is Nori Tsukino." Nori spoke to them before exiting the room.
"Wake up, Naruto." Sakura kicked the blond off of the bed.
"Wha-"
"Good you're awake." She crossed her very short arms.
Naruto sat up from the floor rubbing his face from the meeting with the floor. "Sakura-chan..." His blue eyes landed on her tiny form. "What the fuck! You're not Sakura!" He jumped to his feet and pointed a finger in her face.
"Naru-baka, it's me." Sakura batted his hand out of her face. "We just all have been deaged by a few years."
A snort came from behind her. Naruto turned his head to the speaker and nearly shrieked. "Kakashi-sensei! You're-you're."
"Tiny?" His eyebrow raised and he folded his arms across his chest.
A sparkle shown in his blue eyes as he shook his head rapidly, "You're not wearing a mask, dattebayo!"
Kakashi deadpanned in the blink of an eye and Sakura's palm met her forehead. "Baka."
"What?" Naruto demanded, placing his hands on his hips.
"Idiot." Sasuke supplied before leaning forward from the wall. "You're in a four-year body. We all are."
Naruto blinked twice then looked down at his short body and then back at the three sitting on the bed. "Why?"
"We aren't sure but that thing Kaguya opened took us to a completely different world," Sakura explained with a frown.
"A woman with her daughter had been taking care of us in our unconscious state," Kakashi added.
Sakura nodded, "Yes Nori Tsukino-san and Mika-chan." Then Sakura gestured to the small table that looked like it was dragged in. "Mika-chan made us food to eat and brought water."
Naruto perked up at the word food.
"Naruto, you were the first one through, what do you remember?" She started off gently.
Naruto paused in his speedy maneuver to get closer to the sandwiches. "Not much, just pain and then nothing. Until you shoved me off the bed." He gave her a pout.
Silence fell and Naruto resumed his food hunt.
"What are we going to do?" Sasuke broke the somber silence.
"Obviously in this world, we know nothing." Kakashi started and pushed himself off the wall. "We are physically the age of about four, I don't think we are 'adult' material in this world." He folded his hands in his lap. "Nori-san gave us an option of staying with her and Mika-chan. We should stay and learn as much as possible before we make any more moves."
"Recon?" Sasuke raised his eyebrow.
"More like information gathering." Sakura corrected lightly.
"Exactly." Kakashi smiled.
"Mika-chan makes excellent food. Think she'll cook for us more?" Naruto asked with a brilliant smile.
Both OC's are indeed Japanese/English ancestry. Mika's father was Japanese with a father who was also Japanese and a mother who was American. Nori is both Japanese and English decent in very much the same way except her father was American.
This is just a prolog. I will be skipping a good amount of years for the sake of the story. If I get enough support I will upload a 'side story' of basically the four regrowing up alongside Mika with Nori's parenting.
Also, I would like to let you all know that as of this moment no pairings have been decided.
