White Lights
Team 7 was just getting back from their mission in the land of waves. Unknown to them, there was a robed-hooded figure standing behind them. Kakashi, feeling its gaze turned to see nothing there but the forest path.
"What's wrong Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked.
"Oh, it's nothing. Let's keep moving."
He sounded convinced to them, but Kakashi knew there was something there. The figure was crouched in the trees, staring at them as they were walking into the gates of Konoha. Before the door closed, with incredible speed he dashed inside and into the shadows of the adjacent forest. This time, it was Sakura's turn to look behind them.
"Hey what's up Sakura?" Naruto asked.
"I thought I saw something."
"Get behind me now!" Kakashi commanded, and they followed.
From out of the shadows of the trees emerged the robed figure with a bowed head. It walked out slowly, head bent, but they could tell from its posture that it might be male. His head rose and everyone was shocked at what they saw. His eyes were white orbs, bright as a light bulb. From his nose to the bottom of his neck was a black mask that sported the same bright white lines trailing down. He appeared to be wearing a black shirt, pants and boots that also bore the white lines. Only his robe, black as night, looked normal. His hair, ironically, was jet black and locked.
"Who are you supposed to be?" Kakashi asked.
The guy just stared at him, eyes blinding yet hypnotizing them all except Kakashi. It was at that moment thought, that more ninja arrived and surrounded him.
"I'm not going to ask you again." Kakashi said warningly.
"My name...is unimportant. What you must know...has no value in my eyes. I...am here...for her." He said pointing at Sakura, who was put behind Kakashi, Sasuke and Naruto. He sounded young, about 17 in their ears.
"Oh yeah! I'd like to see you try and take her!" Naruto bellowed.
"If I must...I will fight." He said.
Kakashi pulled up his mask to reveal his sharingan.
"Naruto! Sasuke! Protect Sakura!" He ordered.
Kakashi leaped at the fluorescent teen. Asuma, Kurenai, and Guy joined him. The boy's eyes merely looked up at the charging jonin, then he was gone in a flash. Through his sharingan, Sasuke saw him coming, but because of how under developed his sharingan was, he wasn't able to see his movements at a speed he could counter. He flew past Naruto and Sasuke, wrapped his right arm around Sakura's waist, and jumped into the trees, Sakura's screams echoing through the trees.
"Help! Get your hands off me! Help!"
Everyone else was in full pursuit of the kidnapper. The chase went on for quite some time, with both parties determined to endeavor their own personal mission. Kakashi threw a kunai ahead of him to stop the guy, who turned around and smacked it away with the flick of his hand. Sasuke thought he saw something shimmer when he hit it.
They came upon a clearing where there was an eerie looking portal that had a hypnotizing glow. As the kidnapper leaped within the creepy abyss, everyone, rather cautiously, followed his lead. "What the-" were the only words Naruto could exclaim as they took in the sight before them.
They were standing before a grand Utopia of tribal villages with a giant golden palace within the middle. Looking down, they saw their mysterious character, Sakura still in his arms, and dashed towards him. Their assault was met with the counter-attack of the palace guards, who wielded strange looking crystal weapons with a dim glow at the tips. They resembled spears, while the guards themselves had dark skin with the same white markings as their visitor, only theirs looked like tattoos, not the glowing brightness of the other guy's.
They dealt with the guards quickly and made a grand entrance into the main chambers, where a man wearing no shirt, but was decorated from head to waist in jewelry. At first glance, you'd think he was some kind of necklace/ring/bracelet rack, but when he spoke, everyone was somewhat surprised.
"How dare you invite yourself within the vicinity of mine property! What say you to this intrusion?" He spoke in a booming voice.
To his left, they saw Sakura, unconscious, and still in the grasp of the her cloaked captor.
"We've come for Sakura! So give her back or else!" Naruto warned.
"You...dare to threaten Lord Mooru?" The cloaked teen said in a dangerous voice.
"Yeah! What of it?" Naruto exclaimed.
"Senra, enough." Lord Mooru said calmly. "Perhaps we should explain our reason. You see, for a while now, I, as well as my nephew Senra, and daughter Sasha, have felt some terrible force that arises within the dimension of mortals. To answer the question of how, would be the markings upon the anatomy of my nephew. Here, our guardian spirit, all knowing and powerful, combined its heavenly entity with my nephew in hopes of joining the mortal world and combating this threat."
"Just what is this threat?" Kakashi asked.
"The threat, is a demon known to us as Sensem. But in your dimension, he calls his future avatar Orochimaru."
"Who's this Sensem guy anyway? What's so bad about him?" Sasuke asked.
"Twelve years ago, he was behind the release of the demons that terrorized your world. They were his creations, as well as his pets, each one more vicious and powerful than the latter, his prize being the Nine Tailed Fox." Mooru said looking precisely at Naruto.
"I am, however, embarrassed to say that, within his excitement, my nephew mistook your Sakura for him because our only clue to who he was were the words 'feminine in nature' to which he, rather foolishly grabbed the first girl that he saw. You may put her down Senra." Mooru said.
Senra placed her on her feet, then gave her a little push. She awoke with a start, turned into his eerily soulless eyes, screamed then ran into Naruto, who blushed at her newfound dependence.
"I do have one favor to ask of you though." Mooru said.
"What?" Kakashi asked.
"I beseech you to have my nephew accompany you. Without the power our god bestowed upon him, you all aren't a match for Sensem, even with the Nine Tailed Fox on your side." He added looking at Naruto.
"Very well, though we should talk this over with the Hokage, I'm sure he'll understand anyway." Kakashi said.
"I, and my people Thank you. Senra!" He said in a hard strict voice. "Show these people the respect you would show your father and mother had they been amongst the living. Is my diction clear?"
"Yes...my lord." Senra said with a bow, rising only to glare at Naruto and Sasuke, who only glared back.
"Well, best be heading back. I bet Asuma, Kurenai and Guy are worried sick about us." Kakashi said to himself.
They stepped through the portal and out into the Hidden Leaf Village.
"Or not." He said.
