Prologue
Sunday afternoon...
"Hey, Kestrel!"
"Hey, Shiloh. What's up?" Shiloh had just called me over the phone.
"I was wondering if you and Elizabeth could come over this afternoon."
"So, just you, me, and Elizabeth?"
"And Wolf.""I'll call you back in ten minutes or so, after I find out, 'kay?"
"Okay!"
An hour later...
"So...Whaddya wanna do?" Shiloh asked.
"I dunno...write a Naruto story?" I suggested.
"A story about people falling into the Naruto world?" Elizabeth added. Caleb and Wolf came in just then.
"Whatcha doin'?" Wolf asked.
"Writing a Naruto story about some kids who fell into the Naruto world," Elizabeth said.
"Okay..." Caleb said.
Suddenly I felt a tug in my stomach, and from the faces my four friends were making, they felt it, too. The tug got stronger, until something shifted.
The room around us blurred into whiteness, and a silhouette appeared in front of us.
"I have gifts for each of you before you cross into the Ninja World," It said.
"Who are you?" Elizabeth asked It.
"You do not need to know who I am," It said. "Now I will give you your gifts." It moved to Elizabeth first, placing a formless hand on her forehead for a moment, then continuing to Shiloh, then Wolf, then Caleb, then me.
"Of these gifts, I will tell you one. Each of you now possesses Chakra and the ability to control it. You each will have to discover your others on your own."
It started to fade away, and the white started fading to black.
"If you can affect the world positively," It said, "Then you will be able to return home. If you do not, then you will never return to your world in life."
Then the world was completely black.
