Chapter Four
"Uzumaki Naruto! That's my name" Naruto nearly shouted enthusiastically at Cloud, "The future Hokage!"
"Hello Cloud-san, my name is Rock Lee"
"M-my name is Hyuuga Hinata." she introduced herself while bowing.
Cloud gave them a once-over, holstered his sword behind him and returned to his vehicle.
"Beat it kids, it's too dangerous here." Cloud said as he pulled out a device which resembled a radio. He flipped it open and pushed some buttons then spoke into it. "Vincent, you find anything? Well, give me a call if you find anything else."
At this time the three ninja were all thinking the same thing 'how rude!'. Naruto marched up to Cloud and proceeded to give him a piece of his mind.
"Hey! What do you mean 'beat it'! We're ninja!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Naruto-kun is right, we were sent here to investigate the situation here." Lee explained.
"Ninja? Sorry my mistake, I thought you were from this village." Cloud apologized to them.
"Anou.. it's okay really" Hinata said to Cloud, "ar-are you a ninja as well?"
"No, I'm just a delivery boy." Cloud answered as if he were hiding something.
"Hell yeah! You just delivered an ass kickin' to those fools'" said a large, burly dark skinned man wearing white vest with a fish-net shirt underneath.
He arrived with a woman with a large chest dressed in a black, sleeveless, leather tanktop and black shorts with a long skirt-like clothing draped around her waist. A handful of men and women who wore gray uniforms also accompanied them.
"Barret you find anything?" Cloud asked him.
"Naw, not yet anyway." he answered.
"Cloud how are you?" the woman in black spoke up.
"I'm fine Tifa." Cloud assured the woman.
"If you don't mind me asking what are you looking for?" Rock Lee asked them.
"We're looking for any information as to who is leading these soldiers and how they crossed over into your world." Tifa answered the ninja which all sported a look of disbelief; who could blame them, it's not every day random nut-jobs attack a village with advanced technology; then again there is the Akatsuki.
"Did you just say those guys are from another world?" Naruto questioned them in a skeptical voice.
"Yes they are, hell we are too! What do you think that light back there is for!" The dark-skinned man answered while pointing his left thumb behind him at the pillar of light shooting up into the sky.
"So you're saying that light is a gateway into another world? It seems very hard to believe" Lee asked.
"Yes that is correct." Tifa answered smiling at the ninja.
"Very well, it still seems hard to believe but allow us to help you; we still need to investigate this situation; Hinata-san, Naruto-kun, let's help them" Lee decided.
VII--VII
A man dressed in black with a torn-up red cloak and bearing a clawed, golden gauntlet in place of his left hand was creeping around in the ruins of the underground cave; his red eyes beset on his pale face scanned his surroundings. His name was Vincent Valentine and he was far older than he looked, Vincent had followed the Deep Ground soldiers awhile back before they evacuated. He saw two men dressed in black cloaks with red clouds outlined in white arrive at the cave and then saw them escorted inside by two guards, that was puzzling to him. Who were these men? Why were they allowed to go in? Those were the type of questions that ran through his head.
So as walked through the ruins he scanned each room he found for any information he could find. Every room he looked in was completely stripped of every electronic equipment that had been located there. So far, this place was empty, all the Deep Ground soldiers that had been there had evacuated. Those that stayed behind were already dealt with.
One exception was a single door, it was locked and heavily reinforced preventing any access inside. Above the door was a sign that read 'Genetics Lab'.
"Cloud, I've found a room here, it's locked, Well it is the only place left we haven't searched, Okay I'll wait here." he hung up his phone and leaned back on the adjacent wall across the door, starring at it intently.

"That was Vincent, he said he found something, it might be nothing though." Cloud told his companions and the three Konoha ninja.
"Alright! Let's go!" Naruto shouted causing everyone to look at him.
Awhile later Naruto and the others arrived at the cave and were traversing through the dimly lit corridors. Just one more corner and they were approaching the room, from this distance Naruto could see someone leaning against the wall. Upon closer inspection he saw his long, black unkempt hair and his undead appearance and did what any ninja would've done.
Naruto immediately reached for a kunai and threw it at the man who simply raised his clawed hand and blocked the incoming projectile.
"Naruto stop! He's a friend" Cloud called out to Naruto, "this is Vincent."
"Oh, heh heh, sorry about that, I thought you were a bad guy." Naruto scratched the back of his head while grinning nervously.
"I seem to get that reaction a lot." Vincent said in his grave voice.
"So what's behind the door?" Cloud asked Vincent even though he already knew the answer.
"If I knew I wouldn't have had to stay here would I?" he answered.
"Anou.. c-can I have a look?" Hinata spoke up surprising some who had no idea she was there. This also surprised the other worlders since with Hinata's pale pupil-less eyes they thought she was blind.
"What? But I thought you were blind?" Tifa looked at Hinata clearly confused.
"Hinata? Blind? Ha ha, no Hinata has the best eyesight in the world! Isn't she great?" Naruto then put his hand on Hinata's shoulder which caused her to blush from both the compliment and his touch.
'Naruto-kun complimented me, and he's touching me! No I must not faint! Not now!' Hinata pushed her thought to the back of her mind and focused her chakra to her eyes, 'Byakugon!' as Hinata activated her Dojutsu the veins along her temple bulged and her pupil-less eyes became more defined with a barely visible pupil appearing in the iris.
As her vision faded into a world of colorless features, she gained the ability to look far, past solid objects, and see life around her. She peered into the room and saw something horrible, grotesque creatures roamed around broken free from their cages bringing destruction all around them. The monsters bore shredded clothing akin to what villagers wore.
"Oh no!" Hinata cried.
"What did you see Hinata-san?" Lee asked the girl who bore a shocked expression.
"T-the villa-villagers! They're m-monsters!"
