Hello everybody!
This is my very first story! Woohoo! It's also the first time I've tried updating on a schedule, so don't freak out if the update time changes frequently.
Also, please don't hurt me if the story isn't completely canon; I'm leeching off one of my friends for information. Mainly because my mother won't let me sign up to or download from any of the sites that have the episodes. And, sadly, I don't like reading from right to left, which rules manga out.
So, after this brief disclaimer, on with the story!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. That wonderful universe belongs to Masashi Kishimoto.
Prologue: Right Place, Wrong Time.
The boy had just returned from a S-ranked recovery mission, and was taking what he found to his village's leader. He wondered just what powers this unusual artifact had. It looked like nothing more than a fist-sized pearl. It also had no signs of chakra around it, which added to the mystery. Why would the village need something like this so badly?
The boy was brought out of his thoughts, however, when he arrived at his destination: the Hokage's mansion.
He entered the gigantic structure and headed for the Hokage's quarters. When he came to the door, he knocked until someone answered.
"Come in," a voice said.
He did, and was greeted by the sight of his father.
"Well, hello there, son! Did the mission go well?" he asked, filled with joy at his son's return.
"Yes, father, though I still don't know why you need something like this." the boy replied as he pulled out the pearl from his pocket.
As if on cue, the pearl emitted a bright flash of light. Afterwards, it disappeared, taking the boy with it.
Tsunade had just finished her paperwork for the day and, frankly, she couldn't take anymore.
She was about to fall asleep on her desk when a bright flash filled the room. When it cleared, there stood a boy with red, silver-tipped, spiky hair, and mirror-shades so that you couldn't see his eyes. He also wore a black vest over a long-sleeved red shirt, black and white camouflage jeans, red sandals, and a Konoha forehead protecter. He was also holding a fist-sized pearl.
The boy took one look at Tsunade and exclaimed, "Oh, crap!".
Well, thats the prologue. R&R.
Author's Note: This is a prologue. The actual story takes place when Naruto is coming back to Konoha after the time skip, which is one week after the prologue ends.
