Chapter 2

It was at this time that Team 7 walked by. "You're looking for the Hokage tower?" asked Sakura.

"Yes, unfortunately the person we were following got lost." it was the violet eyed young man that answered, finally getting over his laughter. When he said this he got a glare from the red head.

"Well since we are headed there ourselves we can take you. Isn't that right Sensei?" said the ever helpful Sakura.

"I don't see why not." Kakashi said sounding bored with the conversation but was inwardly interested.

Team 7 started walking again, this time with the five strangers with them. "I've never seen you guys around here before. Who are you?" asked Naruto

It was the tallest of the five that answered once again, "It's impolite not to introduce yourself first."

Before Naruto or Sasuke could think of anything rude, or insulting in Sasuke's case, Kakashi answered the unspoken question "Your right that was impolite of us. I'm Hatake Kakashi and these are my students; Haruno Sakura, Uchiha Sasuke, and Uzumaki Naruto."

The introduction seemed to calm the golden eyed young man down since he looked less tense and looked to the red head who introduced the five. "My name is Phoenix, the multi-haired and the blond or my friends Wolf and Stubborn, and the brunette and raven are my younger brothers Galaxy and Earth." As he said this he pointed to each person in turn.

When the now introduced Phoenix said Stubborn's name he got strange looks from Team 7. "Who the hell names their child Stubborn?"Asked Sasuke sounding a little hostile

"My name is Stubborn because when my family died I was too young to remember my own name so I now go by the first thing people called me." Explained Stubborn.

While they were having this talk they had reached the Hokage tower and were just outside the door. They knocked and waited for Tsunade to say "Enter". When they walked in they saw that for once it looked like she was doing work. Once the door was closed, Tsunade looked up and saw the strangers. "Who are these people?" she asked, confused.

It was Kakashi who answered, "They said they needed to talk to you."

"Well what do you want?" Tsunade now sounded suspicious since it was quite possible that the five were hired assassins. Just because there were others in the room didn't mean they wouldn't attack, especially if they were professionals. Wolf reached into one of his many pockets and the 

ninjas reached for their kunai. When all he pulled out was a scroll, the tense ninjas instantly relaxed their hold on their weapons.

Wolf handed he scroll to Tsunade saying, "Our village leader asked us to give this to you." Tsunade unfolded the scroll and read the contents. While she did this Sakura asked the question that was on the ninja's minds "What village are you guys from?"

It was Earth that answered "We are from a samurai village called the Village between Realms. I doubt you have heard of it, we are not well known among ninjas." This was the first time that Team 7 heard him talk and it freaked them out a little because he said all this with no emotion at all. He almost sounded like Gaara had before his seal was fixed.

By this time Tsunade had finished reading the scroll and looked up to meet Phoenix's eyes and asked, "Is this true?" all he did was nod. Naruto seeing her troubled look asked "What's wrong Baa-Chan?" for once Tsunade didn't hit him for the nick-name.

"According to their village leader, an enemy of theirs has joined forces with Orochimaru. They want to start a war with us." When they heard this the only thing Team 7 could say was "Nani!?" After they all shouted this Naruto pointed at the Realms villagers and asked "Then what are they doing here?"

It was Phoenix who answered with an insanely cheerful gleam in his eyes "We are the ones sent to help you."
