(I know this has been done, but I have always wanted to do a Naruto/Battle Royale Crossover. Everything in this story from the winner, to the death order, to the weapon distribution was chosen completely at random using a D20. Please let me know what you think and how I can improve. No flames please.)

Sai's head hurt. Sai's head hurt a lot. He groaned as he sat up, blinking his dark eyes as they adjusted to the dim light. All around him were bodies, and before long he could make out that they were his classmates, some laying on the floor, some slumped against the walls. Dead? No. Some of them were starting to stir and look around with slightly glazed eyes.

That prompted Sai to look around as well. Where on earth were they? It was a classroom, that much was for sure, but how did they get here? Last thing he knew, he and his classmates were on a bus for their class trip to Kyoto. Then everyone had fallen asleep... but now...

He looked around at his classmates again as it began to get a little more noisy in the room. Class clown Naruto Uzumaki was rubbing his head and swearing under his breath as he shook Sakura Haruno, the nurse's aid awake. "Hey, Sakura-chan... Wake up..."

The pink-haired girl made a small noise as her eyes opened. "W-where? Sasuke-kun?" But Sasuke Uchiha looked like he'd been awake for a while. He was sitting on a desk, eyes trained on the front of the room. Sai looked over in that direction, but as of yet, it was empty.

"Neji, Tenten, hey, wake up guys." That was Rock Lee's voice. Lee was a friendly but slightly eccentric boy with a passion for fitness and martial arts. Tenten and Neji Hyuuga were close friends of his, despite the fact that none of them had a single thing in common. "Why do I feel like I've been hit by a truck?" Tenten groaned.

When Neji was fully roused, he went to check on his cousin Hinata, who was sitting on her knees, her head bobbing a bit. "Are you alright Hinata-sama?" He asked, steadying her with one arm.

The girl nodded a bit, then looked around as her silvery eyes winded in fear. "What's going on? What happened?" She asked. Neji could only shake his head, indicating that he had no idea himself.

"Wake up lazy-ass!" Snapped blonde and pretty Ino Yamanaka as she lightly slapped Shikamaru Nara on the cheek. "Now isn't the time to be sleeping! And... I can't believe you're eating!" This last was directed at Chouji Akimichi, an obese but very friendly boy. "I can't help it Ino." He said. "I'm always hungry when I first wake up..."

Sai saw that finally everyone was awake. Bookworm Kabuto Yakushi was standing, looking around as he straightened his glasses. The Sabaku siblings, Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari were all talking in hushed whispers in one corner of the room. Haku, a feminine boy with a tendency to crossdress and an older boyfriend was sitting next to Kimimaro, a quiet boy of poor health.

Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburami had gone to check on Hinata. It was Shino that noticed something they all had missed. "Hinata, you're wearing a necklace."

The girl blinked and touched the silver band wrapped snugly around her neck. "Um... You all are too..." She said softly.

One by one, everyone reached up and touched their throats. Sai's brow furrowed when he felt the cool metal Underneath his fingers. What on earth was this all about?

"I'm scared!" Said Konohamaru, another of the class clowns who tended to follow Naruto around like a little lost puppy. Normally, his friends Moegi and Udon would be with him as well, but they didn't get their permission slips for the field trip signed in time. Sai was beginning to think that may be lucky for them.

All of a sudden, the door at the front of the room opened, causing several people to jump. Several heavily armed men dressed in military fatigues filed in, followed by an unfamiliar man in a designer suit. He leaned against the low podium at the front of the room and surveyed the group before smiling. "Good evening. My name is Kakashi Hatake. I will be your instructor this evening. I hope we can all be friends." He turned and began to write something on the board, when Kankuro stood up angrily. "What the hell is going on here?!" He demanded.

"Who are all these people?" Sakura asked.

"What's the big idea?!" Came Tenten's irritated addition.

Kakashi just smiled at all of them and pointed at the board. "Oh, I think you all know. You've heard of The Program, I'm sure. And you, Konoha 9th grade class, E have been chosen to participate. Congratulations."

Several people began to make small, panicked whispers, and even Sai felt himself tense up a bit. The Program. The most dreaded event anyone could imagine. Every teenager feared it. Parents used it to make their children behave. 'If you don't do as you're told, they'll put you in The Program.' The source of many a rumor and speculation.
"Now, now, settle down. Seeing as you already seem to know the basics, I only need to be brief with my explanation. You will take part in a game of Battle Royale. You will each be given a bag that has food, water, a map, a compass, a flashlight, and a weapon. It might be rocket launcher, it might be a bottle of nail polish. It's completely random. And once you exit the building, the rules become simple. You have three days to kill each other off."

The terrified whispers began again, Hinata Hyuuga began to cry softly. Kiba stood up with a growl. "Who the hell do you think you are?!" He demanded. "None of us is going to kill anybody! Fuck you, and fuck your program." He reached up and made to rip off his collar. There was a small 'beep' and then a POP as the small metal device exploded. Kiba sank to his knees, his eyes widened in shock as his life's blood sprayed all over Hinata, Neji, and Shino.

That was when the screams began. First one, from Hinata, then another and another until almost everyone in the room was screaming, shouting, or sobbing.

It took a long time for everyone to be silent again, Kakashi watching with amusement until the noise subsided into small sobs and whimpers. "One important thing that Inuzuka-kun just demonstrated for us is the collars." He continued in the same casual tone he'd been using. "The collars monitor your vitals, and have GPS locators so we always know where you are and who's alive. They are waterproof and shock proof, if you try to leave this island or come back into this building after you leave, they will explode. If you try to remove them, they will, obviously, explode. And if more than one person is alive at the end of three days, they will explode, so try not to let that happen. Is this unclear to anyone?"

Sai looked around and saw the others doing the same. But nobody said a word. "Now then," Kakashi continued. "You will exit in alphabetical order by your first name, one minute apart, and be given your bag at the door. Chouji Akimichi."

"Y-yes." The large boy stood, and after exchanging a glance with Shikamaru, rushed out the door.

"Gaara Sabaku."

The redhead was much calmer than Chouji had been. He walked out at a leisurely pace, casting a sidelong glance at the proctor, and was gone.

Haku was next, he hurried but seemed more nervous than outwardly afraid.

"Hinata Hyuuga."

The girl gave a small whimper and stood on shaky legs, Neji took her arm just before she could leave. "Hide near the school. I'll come find you." She nodded and half ran, half stumbled out.

Ino was next. She and Sakura shared an embrace, swearing that no matter what, they were still friends.

Kabuto, Kankuro, and Kimimaro all left with seemingly uninterested expressions, as if this were nothing more than another day. Konohamaru, on the other hand took off at full speed.

When Lee's name was called, he turned back to look at Neji, Tenten, and Naruto. He gave them an encouraging smile and a thumbs up before he took off at a fast, but unafraid pace.

Naruto looked at Sakura when his name was called, and managed the same smile that Lee had. "I'll wait for you." He said, then was gone.
Neji was next. He didnt' have a word to say to anyone, though he did exchange nods with Tenten.

"Sai." He looked up when his own name was called, then looked back at who was remaining. Sakura, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Shino, Temari, and Tenten. He considered Sakura and Naruto to be his friends, but didn't think that teaming up with anyone would be a good idea. After all, only one of them was allowed to leave.

He got up and rushed out the door, catching his bag as it was tossed to him before sprinting off into the night.
