A/N: So I recieved a review asking if I was taking pairing requests, and the answer is unfortunately, no. There will only be one pairing in this story as far as I'm concerned, although I'll let the story speak for itself. Sorry anyone who doesn't like it, but I always have the plots of my stories planned out before I write them, sometimes all the way to the point where I have a clear ending in mind. Anyways, enough of my rambling, let's get on with the show.

Unknown Location

Right here, we find our protagonists, lying on the floor, completely unconscious, with a type of record and record player on a pedestal near them. Gaara was was lying face down on the ground, it looked like Darui was using Chojuro as his personal bedtime plushy, and Naruto and Kurotsuchi were laying on their sides next to each other. About fifteen minutes later, Darui started to stir, and as he opened his eyes, he found himself in a place that was obviously not his bedroom.

'Huh, where am I? Did I go out sleep walking or something?' He thought. He then noticed that he was holding on to something, and looked down immediately to see Chojuro's unconscious form. Panicking a little, he seperated from him and crawled somewhere away from, only to lay his eyes upon everyone else.

'Okay, I certainly don't remember having a sleepover with anybody, especially people that I don't know.' Thought the Kumo nin. Just then, Chojuro started to wake up. Opening his eyes, he rubbed his head from the pain of Jiraiya's bat.

"Ugh, my head. What is going on here?" He asked himself. Darui then spoke up.

"Hey, do you know how we ended up here?" Asked Darui. Chojuro looked up at the dark skinned man.

"Umm, hello sir. Sorry but I don't know how I ended up here, or how you or these others did. All I remember before waking up was getting hit by something hard." Answered the bespectacled sword wielder.

"That's strange, before I ended up here, I went to bed, was out like a light, and then I'm here." Recalled Darui. Then Gaara was beginning to enter the realm of consciousness.

"What happend? Why did Jiraiya knock me out?" He asked himself rubbing his eyes.

"Hey mister, do you know where we are?" Asked Chojuro.

"I can't say I do, but I remember Jiraiya the toad sage entering my office before he knocked me out." Said Gaara. Darui raised an eyebrow.

"Jiraiya? One of the members of the Sannin? Could he have been the one that brought us here?" He asked.

"That's a very strong possibility, by the way, I'm Gaara no Sabaku, Godaime Kazekage of Sunagakure no sato."

"Aren't you a little young to be the Kazekage?" Asked Chojuro.

"Maybe, but our village was in need of a Kazekage, and ever since my father was killed, the Yondaime Kazekage, I became a likely candidate." Answered the jinchuuriki.

"We're getting off topic here just what the hell are we doing here, and also can somebody wake up those two before the start to cuddle?" Asked Darui pointing to the still unconscious Naruto and Kurotsuchi.

"Don't worry, they're already starting to come around." Said Chojuro. Just as he said, the Konoha shinobi and Iwa kunoichi finally started to wake up.

"Ugh, never thought the sake would be this strong, my head feels like a rock fell on it." Said Kurotsuchi holding her head.

"Ero-sennin, what is his deal, knocking me out like that, I'll get him back for this." Said Naruto. It was then that they both looked at each other. While Naruto was questioning who this girl was, Kurotsuchi was thinking something entirely different.

'Oh Kami, don't tell me I was raped by some random guy on the street.' She thought, very much worried for the possible outcome of her little sip of sake. It was then she noticed the other three staring at them, her mind was having many thoughts racing through it, and she fainted. It was silent for a few seconds before Gaara decided to break the awkward silence.

"Naruto, it's good to see you again." He said with a smile. Naruto turned to see him and gave his own smile.

"Hey, long time no see Gaara." Their reunion was interrupted when Kurotsuchi woke up again.

"Okay what is going on here?!" She screamed, demanding to get answers immediately.

"Well if you're worried if we did something to you while you were out, we didn't, so you don't have to worry about anything unplanned." Said Darui, making Kurotsuchi breathe a sigh of relief.

"That's good to know, now for my second question, where are we, why are we here, and who was the jackass that brought us here?"

"Technically that's three questions miss..." Said Chojuro before trailing off.

"It's Kurotsuchi, granddaughter of the Sandaime Tsuchikage, and stop being a smartass, I don't like those type of people." She answered sending a glare at Chojuro that told him to shut up.

"Right, my apologies." He said lowering his head a little. Darui sighed before answering her questions.

"Well to put it simlpy, I don't know where we are or why we are here, but we have come to the conclusion that Jiraiya the toad sage knocked us out and brought us here." He said. Kurotsuchi scoffed, of course it was a Konoha ninja, she thought.

"Hey, what's that thing over there?" Asked Naruto pointing to the record and record player. He went up to it, took the record and played it. Everyone listened in closely.

"Hello everybody!" By the voice, Naruto recognised it as Jiraiya.

"Now, I'm sure you're all wondering what this place is and why you are here. Well, this place is an obstacle course, and an extremely big one that can't be finished in just a day or night." Then, lights turned on to reveal a very empty space where a door was located at one of the walls.

"I built this place because at one time, when I was not an old geezer, I had a thought once, and it's something that some of you may think is extremely stupid. I did complete this, but a week later, I started to think otherwise of this idea. But thanks to my star pupil, he proved to me that stupid ideas can work sometimes, I decided to do this idea once again." Naruto lowered his head in shame, thinking that he was inadvertently responsible for why they were in this mess.

"The reason I decided to do this is because I want to create peace with each other, and what better way to get everyone to cooperate, than by getting everyone to cooperate! This course will allow you to work together, talk with each other, maybe fall in love with one another, and if things go smoothly, we may have taken a big step to achieving peace."

"Okay, I'm all for stuff like this, but I think Ero-sennin is becoming to much of an idealist, and that is coming from someone who is a huge idealist." Said Naruto. Everyone looked at him strangely.

"Did you just call one of three legendary Sannin a pervert?" Asked Chojuro.

"Trust me, I've been around him long enough that if he stopped being a pervert it would be a miracle." The recording continued.

"Now I chose you five specifically because I know that you are going to be the most accepting of this stuff, even if your villages have heavy grudges with each other. If you guys do this right, I'll give you all a big reward at the end of all this. I left you guys a bag filled with storage scrolls that contain food, hygiene products, weapons, everything you guys will need to live in this place. I have the highest hopes for all of you, good luck and stay safe. Jiraiya, out."

"This guy is crazy, just like every ninja in Konoha." Said Kurotsuchi earning her a glare from Naruto.

"What is up with you and my village?" Naruto asked.

"Simple, your Yondaime Hokage killed off many of our shinobi in the Third Great Ninja War. Your village can burn to the ground for all I care." Naruto growled and as he was about to respond, Darui interfered.

"Your Hokage also fought against our forces back in Kumo, but thanks to our peace treaty that we had years ago, we are now in a good enough alliance, so I wouldn't exactly hold a grudge against you." He said.

"Yeah, well after the day the treaty was made, one of your Kumo shinobi tried to kidnap one of my friends, who also happend to be the next in line to be clan head for the main branch of the Hyuuga clan, so no offense, but I hope you can understand why I'm not very trusting of you right now."

"Look, I'm sure our problems can be talked about later, right now, we just need to find a way to get through this place, however big it may be." Said Chojuro.

"And who exactly said you would be the one calling the shots four eyes? Sorry, but I don't think having someone from the Blood Mist Village lead this group is a good idea." Said Kurotsuchi.

"Hey, I was part of the rebellion to overthrow the Yondaime Mizukage, and our village has changed since then." Gaara wasn't really paying attention to this quarrel and instead picked up the bag filled with essentials and headed for the door.

"Enough of this nonsense, we are supposed to be working together here. Let's just head out and we can talk when we are outside." Called out Gaara. Chojuro just followed after him, as did Naruto and Kurotsuchi. Darui was looking at the situation more closely.

'So, it seems that the guy with the glasses will be easy to deal with. The Kazekage is a little hard to read, but he seems accepting enough. The real problem is Kurotsuchi and that other guy, I can tell they are going to fight more than a married couple once we step out that door, and that will make them working together more of a problem.' He thought as he exited the room along with the others, with no idea of what they would encounter.

Konoha

Jiraiya was enjoying his day, writing his next big Icha Icha Paradise novel, when he heard a knock on his door. He went to open it up to reveal Tsunade.

"Hey Tsunade, how are you doing today?" He asked kindly.

"Cut the shit Jiraiya, we need to talk about where you took Naruto, Gaara, and the Tsuchikage's granddaughter. I know it was you who took them because one of Suna's messengers gave word that you took their Kazekage, making it obvious of who took the other two." She said sternly.

'Uh oh.' Thought Jiraiya with a look of horror on his face.

Akatsuki base

We see holographic figures talking with each other.

"So let me get this straight, when you went to look for the Ichibi jinchuuriki, he was gone?" Asked the figure whose eyes were purple and had a few ripples in their design.

"Yes that is exactly what happend, un." Said the figure with one visible eye. Suddenly, a plant like figure emerged from the ground. it opened to reveal a person with green hair, yellow eyes, and half of his body black and the other was white.

"I think I know who took the Kazekage Leader-sama." Said the white half.

"Very well Zetsu, give it to us straight." Said the leader.

"With pleasure Leader-sama" Spoke the black half of the now identified Zetsu.
