Lucario's POV

Lucario sat up and looked around. His surroundings were mostly trees, but you could also see some sort of training dummies and some abnormally huge rocks with rope and small paper on them. Nearby there was a pond.

Lucario walked to the pond as he wondered to himself, "The hell!? What was with that light…?"

He looked at his reflection from the water. He was amazed! He had gotten a cool, new red vest, although everything else was the same. His hair was the same, but there was one difference…A small puppy was sitting on his head.

He analyzed the puppy. The puppy was colored a light brown and had a moon-like pattern on its pelt. The puppy also seemed to be very young, yet powerful.

"Aren't you a cute puppy? What are you doing here?" Lucario asked the puppy. The puppy gave out a long yawn and made himself comfortable on Lucario's head. Lucario nodded his head and looked around. Where was everyone?

"Yo, Jacob! Senoske! Arkanin! Kira! Kidan! Kyle! Where are you guys!?" Lucario yelled. No one answered. Lucario looked around and then picked up the puppy off of his head. He analyzed the puppy and then said, "Hey, you need a name…How about…Moon?"

Moon barked in amusement. Lucario gave a hearty nod and responded, "Cool, so your name's Moon now."

Suddenly, Lucario felt something against his neck. Lucario struggled to look without showing fear. He turned far enough so that he could see what was against his neck. It looked just like a kunai. A real kunai. The person who was holding the kunai began to speak.

"Who are you, and what village are you from?" The person growled. Lucario tilted his head in surprise. He turned his head farther to see who was holding the kunai.

"Oh my--!" Lucario said in surprise. He looked to see Kiba, from Naruto.

"I get it…I'm dreaming…Man, that sucks…" Lucario sighed. Kiba just looked at Lucario with a puzzled expression. Kiba kicked Lucario onto the ground and responded, "What are you blabbing about!?"

Uh oh…I felt that…That means…This is real! Wait! This is real…THAT IS SO COOL!!! Lucario thought to himself happily. He turned to Kiba and said, "Um…You're Kiba, right?"

Kiba stepped back in surprise and replied, "How'd you know!?"

"Um…You are quite popular in the Leaf Village, Konoha." Lucario smiled, saving himself with his vast knowledge of Naruto. Kiba stepped back farther and questioned, "Who are you?"

"Lucario Yukai…Um…Member of the Leaf Village…" Lucario answered. Kiba seemed to buy it. Lucario was so psyched! This was the Kiba Inuzuka, from the great anime Naruto. And he was in it. He analyzed Kiba a little more.

Kiba was wearing the same grey sweater that he does in the anime. His hair was brown and messed up a bit and he had the same face markings. This was cool!

"Yo, where are we going?" Lucario asked, holding in all of his excitement. Kiba gave him a dumbfounded look but responded, "To the village…"

Kyle's POV

Ow…My back hurts…Where am I? Kyle thought to himself as he regained consciousness. Kyle looked at his surroundings. It looked just as haunting as the Forest of Death from Naruto. In fact, it looked exactly like the Forest of Death.

Kyle looked at his clothes. They were okay, just covered in dirt. Kyle stood up and looked at his knee. He saw a Naruto headband on his knee, which fell to the ground when he stood up fully.

"Senoske must be near…Better take this with me…" Kyle said to himself, as he picked up the Naruto headband. Kyle took a closer look at the headband to see a slight reflection of his face. He looked carefully at his eyes and noticed that they looked like the Hyuuga family's eyes.

Wow…Man, everything seems to resemble Naruto today…Actually… Kyle thought. Kyle looked around again and then whispered to himself, "Since when was there a forest near the camp? And where's everybody else?"

Just then, he heard a faint cry for help. Kyle quickly jogged to where the noise came from, noticing he was a bit faster than normal. When he arrived to where the sound came from, he saw Arkanin laying on the ground, clutching her chest.

Arkanin looked different, but it was definitely her. Arkanin was wearing a Jonin vest and attire, except it was all black. Almost like an ANBU outfit, but it was a Jonin outfit. Her hair was the same, except for the color, which was dark purple.

"A-Arkanin," Kyle blushed, quickly regaining his composure, "Are you alright?"

Arkanin struggled to sit herself up as she said, "No…I am not okay. Where is Kira?"

"Not sure…" Kyle answered. Arkanin looked up at Kyle and quickly said, "Go look for Kira and Senoske! Forget about me for the moment!"

"You just said you weren't okay," Kyle pointed out as he inspected Arkanin. Arkanin shoved Kyle away and replied, "Just go!"

Just then, they heard a loud hissing noise.

"W-What was that!?" Arkanin said, fear was apparent in her eye. Kyle looked behind Arkanin and froze in fear. Behind Arkanin was a huge, hungry snake.

"Damn it, Kyle, what are you looking at!?" Arkanin repeated meanly. Kyle just shook his head and grabbed Arkanin's arm, "We have to leave!"

"Why!?" Arkanin said in a panicky voice. Arkanin pulled her arm away from Kyle and flipped herself around. Arkanin's facial expression showed that she was scared out of her mind. After all, she was a foot away from a 50 foot snake. And it looked hungry.

Kyle pulled Arkanin to her feet, but Arkanin dropped to the ground as soon as Kyle let go.

"What?" Kyle said in confusion. Arkanin clutched her chest harder and then explained, "Sorry, I can't walk…At the moment…" Fear grew in both of their eyes.

"Do a jutsu or something!?!" Arkanin blurted aloud, obviously in true desperation. Kyle looked at Arkanin with a puzzled expression.

What the hell? We aren't going anywhere…Mind as well try…Heck, maybe this is all a dream and it'll work…That…Or this is a prank and I'll look like a fool… Kyle could've debated to himself a bit more, but he had to do something! That, or Arkanin and Kyle were snake kibble.

Kyle reacted by using the following Naruto hand seals: snake, tiger, monkey, boar, horse, and tiger, then he formed a circle with his hands and yelled, "Fire Style; Fireball Jutsu!!!"

Suddenly, fire burst out of his hand leaded by his breath. The fireball hit the snake directly, causing the snake to recoil in pain.

"Holy crap…It worked?" Arkanin said, puzzled. Kyle looked at his hand with shock. Then, he gave a gesture of triumph and thought, Alright! So this is just a dream! A dream about Naruto…Awesome!

Kyle's thoughts were interrupted by a series of coughs. Kyle looked over at Arkanin who was now coughing out blood. Kyle panicked. He looked around for any sign that would lead them out of the forest, but found only the huge snake coming back.

There was no hope. Oh well, Kyle would awake from his dream in a bit. That's when he tripped and cut his ankle. He saw his blood crawl to the bottom of his shoe.

"How can I bleed in my dream?" Kyle wondered aloud.

"Dream!? This is real, Kyle!" Arkanin managed to say through all of her pain. "Let me try something!" Arkanin added.

Arkanin formed the tiger, dog, and monkey seals and then placed her palms together. Inside the palms, Arkanin was gathering up electricity.

"KA," Arkanin started off as she faced the snake, "ME," Arkanin added. The snake traveled closer and was about to bite into Arkanin. Arkanin rashly yelled, "HAMEHA!!!"

Suddenly, all of the electricity that she built up was fired at the snake, ripping through its flesh. Arkanin's palms were burnt and now she was basically puking out blood now. Well, at least the snake was dead, right?

Kyle had to do something, but what? He looked around and yelled, "Someone help! Senoske, Kira, Kidan! Lucario…Um, Jacob! Help! ANYONE!"

"Wow, she looks pretty banged up…Believe it…" Someone said from behind Kyle. Kyle twirled around and saw the one and only Naruto Uzumaki. Behind him was Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, and Sakura Haruno.

"We need to rush this ninja to the hospital!" Sakura noted as she inspected Arkanin. Shikamaru just shook his head and added, "Do we even know these ninja?"

Choji gripped Kyle's arm to see the headband he was carrying. It was the symbol of the hidden leaf.

"Well, this guy's from Konoha as well. Um…As for this girl…" Choji continued as he looked for any headband. Choji could find no identification.

"So what do we do?" Naruto added. Sakura smack Naruto on the back of his head and yelled, "Well, we take her with us! She's in a terrible state!"

Kyle dropped to his knees and pleaded, "Please! Arkanin, this girl, is with me! She's my friend!"

Naruto nodded as he grabbed Arkanin and placed her onto his back. "Then we better hurry…"

Kyle nodded and followed them as they jumped through the trees. Kyle didn't know how, but he was soaring through the trees.

Senoske's POV

Senoske sat up. He was in a tree, and below were children. Senoske was going to go back asleep, but jolted up when he noticed he was in a tree.When he jolted up, he fell out of the tree and onto one of the kids.

The kid began to cry loudly. Senoske rolled his eyes and retorted, "Sheesh, you'll get over it…"

The kid gave a big sniff and stopped crying. Now that that was over, Senoske observed his surroundings.

"Kid, where are we…?" Senoske asked. The kid gave a puzzled look and then answered, "The Konoha leaf village…Why?"

"No reason…Just curious…" Senoske answered nervously.

I'm dreaming of Naruto when I could be unconscious? Or…Maybe I'm dead…Nah, just unconscious…Well, better act cool and have some fun! Senoske thought. He looked at the kid and waved goodbye.

Senoske ran on top of the roof tops and leaped from building to building. He was having so much fun. Well, until he was hit by a big burst of wind.

"HEY!" Senoske yelled. Senoske was furious. He looked towards the direction where the wind came from. He saw Kidan. At least, he looked like Kidan.

Kidan's shirt was still black, but his jacket was now midnight blue. And…His hair was a bit longer in the back.

Next to Kidan was Jacob. Jacob also looked different. He was wearing the same clothes except for his grey sweatshirt. It was replaced by an awesome looking vest that had so many pockets, and it was colored red. As was the rest of his clothes, just in different shades. His hair was red and still spiked backwards.

"Stupid! Stop jumping around like this is a dream!" Jacob yelled, though not loud enough for anyone else to hear.

"This is a dream…" Senoske pouted. Kidan shook his head in pity and asked, "When I hit you with my wind jutsu, did it hurt?"

"Yeah…" Senoske answered cautiously. Kidan smiled and replied, "Well, in a dream, you can't feel pain…"

"Yeah you can! I had a dream that Kira slapped me for stealing her manga…" Senoske defended.

"You idiot! That was real! Trying to steal my Absolute Boyfriend manga…" Kira said as she landed right next to Senoske.

Senoske gave a nervous smile and then asked, "So, where to now--CRAP!!!" Senoske looked around frantically for Arkanin. He looked in the alley way and then yelled, "Where is Arkanin and that guy that I think likes Arkanin!?!"

"Likes Arkanin?" Kira thought aloud. Kidan decided to answer Senoske's question, "She's at the hospital, but fine. Kyle is waiting outside the hospital for her."

"And the Pokemon dude?" Senoske added. Kidan simply replied, "In Tsunade's, or the Hokage's, office."

"Aw man…The Third Hokage already died…?" Senoske whined. Kidan just shook his head in pity again, but then added with a bit more emotion, "We have to go there as well."

"Kay…Wait, so we are going to get a mission or are we in trouble?" Senoske added.

"Does it matter? Oh yeah, let me tell you, Tsunade's going to serve us cookies and tea…" Jacob added sarcastically.

"Really?" Senoske replied obliviously. Jacob just slapped himself and added, "No! We are getting a mission!"

"Oh. Well, lets go." Senoske smiled as he took a head start. Everyone followed closely behind.

Tsunade's Office (Naruto)

1:32 PM, June 6

Kidan's POV

Kidan awaited patiently for Tsunade to begin her speech. Kidan watched everyone stare intently at Tsunade, as she began her speech.

"Hopefully, you are the ninja we are waiting for. We have info on the Akatsuki, and we know where they are going to strike next. We hope that you guys will agree to help us fend them off. We also hear that Orochimaru will be there as well. You guys are more than welcome to take any of our ninja." Tsunade explained, getting right to the point.

"You want us to fight the Akatsuki?" Arkanin clarified. Tsunade nodded and added, "Well, aren't you a smart Jonin?"

"Jonin? Oh, uh…Right!" Arkanin smiled. Arkanin sat up triumphantly.

"Well, I'll give you guys ten minutes to choose your groups. Good luck, and thank you for assisting us…" Tsunade concluded, as she dismissed them from her office.

Arkanin looked around and then looked at Kidan, asking, "Why don't we just tell them we're from a different dimension?"

"Oh yeah, that won't get us sent to the cuckoo hut!" Jacob added sarcastically. Kidan just nodded, "Well, uh…Jacob's right…And we don't know what could happen if we do anything stupid…"

"So who are guys grouping up with!?" Senoske asked happily. Arkanin thought for a moment and then answered, "Naruto…"

"Why Naruto? You have the hots for him?" Jacob teased. Kira and Kyle just looked at Arkanin, waiting for her answer.

"No, I owe him one…" Arkanin answered. Kira and Kyle gave out a huge sigh.

"Hmmm…I'll take Neji. He's my favorite character and since I have the Hyuuga bloodline, it would be a great combination…" Kyle explained.

"I would be best paired up with Lee. So leave whoever we face up to us!" Kidan said, making a fighting gesture.

"I'll fight with Kiba. I mean, we both have dogs." Lucario said, as Moon jumped up and barked happily.

Senoske played with his headband and then said, "I'll group up with Shikamaru…He's smartical!"

"I'll fight with Hinata. She's one of my favorite characters." Kira decided. Everyone looked at Jacob, expecting his answer.

"Hmmm…I guess I'm with Choji…" Jacob responded. Arkanin nodded and replied, "That's a good choice…"

"Well…Lets go…" Kidan suggested, as he turned around and motioned towards Tsunade's office.
