Chapter 5:

With Naruto and the Hyuga:

The Hyuga prodigy holds up a fist and the group stops. "What's wrong, Neji?" whispers Hinata.

Neji replies, "I sense something evil nearby. It could be a threat."

"Something evil?" Naruto echoes blankly.

The fox demon Kyuubi in Naruto's stomach roars, 'Evil? Evil?? I am the King of the Demons! I am the most evil thing around! That small fry is nothing compared to me!'

The blonde young man appears next to the Kyuubi's cage and shouts, "I know you are evil! We all know you are evil. You never shut up about it! Give it a rest or I will change your cage to be filled with flowers and cute little stuffed bears!" The intimidating fox demon looks scared.

'You wouldn't,' Kyuubi says, staring in horror at Naruto.

Naruto leans in close to the cage and grins, "Try me!" He disappears before the Kyuubi can try to claw at him.

'Why me!?' Kyuubi shouts while staring at the roof of his cage. 'All I did was attack the puny village and terrorize mortals for several millennia! It's not as if I did something worthy of being stuck in this brat's stomach! All he eats is ramen, for crying out loud! I live in the stomach that digests all of that ramen! Nothing but ramen, I'm telling you!' He receives no answer and roars in frustration. A single daisy sprouts up in front of him. The mighty fox lord quickly stomps it out and glares at the crushed daisy. 'Nothing I did could make me deserves this," he mumbles.

In the real world, the three ninja hear the deep, raspy breathing of something in the alley. Naruto jumps down only to come face to face to Darth Vader. Neji curses the blonde's lack of strategy and joins him with his cousin.

"I sense much fear and anger in you!" the Sith Lord says as he points a finger at Naruto. Hinata and Neji try to stifle their laughter. "Join me, and we will rule the universe!" he finishes grandly.

Naruto tilts his head and stares at the strangely armored man. "Huh?"

Darth Vader draws his lightsaber and ignites it. "You are mocking me! Nobody mocks a Sith Lord and lives!"

"What?" Naruto says blankly.
Vader shouts, "Die, boy!" Naruto easily dodges the blade and kicks the lightsaber's handle, causing it to fly up into the air. Its owner attempts to call it back, but ninja wire hold it firmly in place out of the way of the glowing blade.

The Sith Lord stares at the stuck lightsaber and turns back to his opponents. "Fear me! I, the mighty Darth Vader, will kill you all!" He looks down to see Naruto randomly pressing buttons on his chest panel.

"Oh! What does this one do?" Naruto asks as he presses a green button.

Darth Vader shouts as he grabs for the clumsy ninja, "Don't touch the green button!" Hinata and Neji's faces wrinkle in confusion. "What is so funny?" he shouts, his voice now very high and squeaky. He presses the green button again and his voice returns to normal. "Do not mess with my buttons, weaklings, or I will crush you all!"

"Weren't you going to do that anyways?" Neji asks pointedly.

For once, Vader is at a loss for words as he tries to think of a reply. "So if the green button makes it high, than the blue button makes you sound like…" Naruto says loudly, attracting the Sith's attention. He reaches for Naruto again, but the button has been pushed.

"Stop pushing my buttons!!" he roars. He would have sounded intimidating, if his voice didn't sound like Daffy Duck. Naruto rolls on the ground laughing. "That's it!" Vader shouts furiously. He throws Naruto against the wall with a force push. "Now you know the power of the Dark Side!" he states smugly, his voice back to normal. Naruto pops into a puff of smoke. "Your power is no match for the Dark Side!"

"So, you want to get serious, huh?" several voices say from above him. Darth Vader looks up to see four Narutos clinging to the walls. Vader snaps the wires with the force and calls his lightsaber back to his hand. Igniting the red blade, he force pushes the Narutos into the air.

Vader leaps at him and slices through the Narutos with ease, all of them going 'poof'. He lands silently and prepares to go onto his gloating speech when he feels someone tap on his shoulder. He looks over his shoulder and sees a fist. The armored man flies backwards, and three feet kick him upwards. "UZ" a clone shouts. "U" another clone continues. "MAKI" the third shadow clone yells. The real Naruto finishes with "BARRAGE!" His kick drives Vader into the ground, creating a small crater.

"Good job, Naruto!" squeaks Hinata. Naruto lands and grins, scratching the back of his head. He opens his mouth to say how great that move was, but he trips over a trash can lid.

Neji intones, "Still a loser, a powerful loser, but still a loser."

The blonde ninja jumps to his feet and shouts, "I am not a Loser!"

Anko and Tenten drop from the roofs and land behind Naruto. "I-it's Kurenai sensei's crazy snake friend!" Naruto stammers. He hides behind Neji fearfully. "I knew she would come for me someday."

"Naruto, would you please stop this ridiculous behavior?" Neji states, embarrassed for him.

Anko laughs loudly, walks to him as Neji steps aside, and slaps Naruto on the back. "That's me!" The blonde Genin is smashed face first into the hard ground. Tenten sighs and helps Naruto to his feet.

"Hey, Hinata," Tenten says politely. She faces Neji solemnly. "I don't know how we got here. Is Rock Lee here too?"

Neji activates his Byukagun and looks around the town. "No, I do not believe he is here." His teammate sighs but nods in acknowledgement. "But, the Byukagun has revealed that all of us have dual chakras. The residual chakra traces from the darker chakra trails towards the southern part of town."

Naruto shouts, "Then why didn't you mention this earlier?"

"Because I did not have time to mention it before now," Neji replies, clearly annoyed.

Anko frowns. "I felt that something was off about my body. Have you found any others?" Naruto shakes his head, rubbing the bump now protruding from his skull.

"At least she doesn't hit as hard as Sakura," he mutters. Naruto quickly looks around for signs of retaliation from a hidden Sakura and when none comes he relaxes.

Neji states, "We are trying to gather as many ninja that we can in hopes that we can figure out where we are and how to get home."

"We were thinking about doing the same," answers Anko. "Let's stick together." The Genin agree. They all walk out of the alley into the street, various creatures and people running past them.

Hinata asks the special Jonin, "Miss Anko, I-I was w-wondering, do you think that there are more powerful ninja around that can help us?"

"I wouldn't doubt it, Princess," Anko replies with a sigh. The team works their way down the street. They leave behind a tangled mess of fictional characters tied to trees, fire hydrants, and fence posts.

At Kakashi's Location:

Kakashi eyes the two missing nin suspiciously. His sharingan shows dual chakra and the faint chakra trail. "Have you two noticed anything…odd about your bodies?" he asks.

Haku blushes while Zabuza points a thumb at her. "He is now a she! Odd enough for you?" Kakashi stares at the young nin for a few seconds.

"Yeah, that definitely qualifies as odd," he says. The famous Copy Nin lets out a perverted giggle at the thought of the boy-turned-girl.

A sebon needle pins the pants right next to his crotch to the wall. "Get those thoughts out of your head, Kakashi," Zabuza growls. Haku holds up his hand with four sebon needles ready to be thrown.

Kakashi's eyes widen again and he exclaims, "Gone? Yes! They are long gone. I didn't even know they were there!" He thinks to himself, 'I can't believe I actually thought that! Maybe these books are getting to me?" A few moments later, he decides, 'Nah! Wait a second, what if it happened to me…" Chills run down his spine.

Zabuza clears his throat to get his attention. "So, what have you discovered, Kakashi?" he glares menacingly. "It had better be a way to change Haku back!"

"Actually," Kakashi says in his usual bored tone, "I think that we are not in our own bodies. That would explain a lot, from our physical changes to our location." He pulls his forehead protector down over his eye. "We all have dual chakras. One suppressing the other. There is also a faint chakra trail from the oppressing chakra leading back to its source."

Haku looks to her master for instructions. "Let's try to find out where we are from the locals. With any luck, we can find out why we are here and not in Hell like we should be!" Zabuza orders.

"You want to be in Hell?" Kakashi asks in surprise.

Zabuza glares, "Of course not, you moron! But at least in Hell I know where I am and what to expect! Let's go, Haku. The copy nin will join us in his own time. Haku?"

The young ninja starts swaying and says in a sing-song voice, "The two heads are one, their eyes glow bright!"

The older missing ninja shakes his ward, "Haku! Are you all right?" She seems to break out of whatever trance she was in.

"Is something wrong?" she asks.

Kakashi says, "You said 'the two heads are one, their eyes glow bright'. What did you mean by that?"

"I have no idea," Haku shrugs. "I must have zoned out for a few seconds."

The two rogue ninja leap onto the rooftops and break off into a sprint; non-ninja miss them completely. Kakashi sighs and runs after them.

Sebon needles disable any creatures that cross their path. Haku halts and shoots a sebon at an obscured figure in the shadows. Unlike the other creatures that crossed their path, this person deflects it with a kunai and steps into the view of the street light. "Another Konoha headband," the apprentice mutters to her master.

"I can see that, Haku," the Demon of the Mist replies. "Who are you, blonde?"

The girl steps into a defensive stance. "Watch it! You almost cut my hair!" The missing nin stare at her in disbelief. "Anyways, my name is Ino!" She notices Zabuza's headband. "Wait! You're Mist Ninja!" She flips her ponytail over her shoulder and down her back; the young ninja draws a second kunai.

"Ino, it's okay. Stand down," Kakashi commands as he reaches them.

The vain ninja squeals, "Kakashi-sensei! Where is your team and why are you with these Mist ninja?"

"None of us are here of our own free will. I have no idea where my team is, and these two are the only other ninja I've seen around here. I'm starting to think that something intelligent is responsible for this." Kakashi says with his eyebrow raised.

Zabuza gives a barely perceptible nod; Haku slides her sebon into her equipment pouches. "Another one of your Konoha brats?" Zabuza grunts with one hand on his huge sword.

"Yes, Zabuza, she is one of ours. She will be joining us until we can get out of here," the Jonin explains. The long-haired blonde frowns in disapproval.

"Zabuza? That name sounds familiar," she says slowly.

The man growls, "I am Zabuza, the Demon of the Mist. Got it?" Ino jumps a little in recognition.

Haku states, "Good. Shall we move on?" Zabuza nods and they take off as Ino and Kakashi hurriedly follow their lead. Ino shouts after them, "Hey! Aren't you two dead?"

Haku calls over her shoulder, "We get that a lot."

"Kakashi-sensei, why are we letting them go in front?" Ino whispers.

Kakashi's eye curves upwards into his well-known Eye-Smile and he says quietly, "With them in front, we can keep an eye on them. Also, we are in unfamiliar territory. If anything attacks us, they will get attacked first and give us time to prepare. And lastly, they are missing nin who are used to traveling in unfamiliar territory. We can use their experience to our advantage." Ino's frown shows that she understands, though she still dislikes the idea of working with criminals.

At Gaara's Location:

The red-haired boy slowly strolls through the streets, his sand automatically tossing any attackers into nearby trees. "Strange place," he murmurs.

"Gaara!" Kankuro exclaims as he runs up to his younger brother. "There you are! We felt your chakra flare."

Gaara mumbles, "My chakra flared? Interesting."

The flute-toting sound ninja scoffs, "This is Gaara of the Sand? He doesn't look like much to me." Kankuro glances back and forth at his formerly crazy brother and Tayuya.

"Yes," Gaara states in a monotone voice. "What is this place?"

Kankuro groans, "We have no idea whatsoever!" Gaara ignores him and stares at the young woman.

"What are you staring at, raccoon boy?" she snaps.

He tilts his head and mutters, "Your hair is like mine. It makes my demon want to kill you."

Tayuya tightens her grip on her flute, "That is a good thing?"

"Yes," he says after a few moments of silence. "My demon hates beautiful things."

The sound ninja blushes but retorts, "Yeah, whatever! Your girly brother over there said that we can work together to find a way out of here." Kankuro watches their exchange nervously.

"Then come on," states Gaara without emotion. He walks away as his sand slides in circles around him protectively. Tayuya looks to Kankuro for an explanation and he shrugs. Before she can ask, he joins his brother. The flute girl scowls but walks with them.

A few minutes later, they round the corner of a building and almost bump into Sasuke and his companions. Sasuke jumps back with his weapon drawn. "Stay behind me, Sakura," he says, staring at Gaara.

The pink-haired girl needs no encouragement, and Temari draws her fan. "It is nice to see you, sister," Gaara drones. Temari is caught completely off guard, still not used to hearing nice things from her brother. He walks past her and pauses to look at the Uchiha.

"What do you want, monster?" Sasuke grunts, his free hand hovering over his weapons pouch.

"Where is Naruto Uzumaki?" Gaara inquires flatly.

Sakura frowns worriedly, "He's not with us, but why do you want him? Do you want another chance to kill him?"

"No," Gaara says, to their surprise. "He made me able to sleep at night. Let's find him." He walks away from them. The two Konoha ninja are confused.

Sasuke says, "But what about me? Don't you want to kill me?"

"Yes," Gaara states again. "But Uzumaki would not like that. Let's find him." He turns back around and continues walking at a leisurely pace. His siblings rush after him with Tayuya. Sakura thinks, 'What is so special about Naruto?' They join the slowly growing group cautiously.

At Naruto's Location:

Naruto babbles on loudly despite Neji's constant reprimands. The three girls stay quiet as they listen to their arguing. Naruto lands on the ground and sniffs the air. "I'm hungry!" he declares.

"Naruto, if you keep announcing our presence like this, we could be discovered by Orochimaru!" Neji snaps.

"Hey, Hinata, are you sure we are going the right way?" the blonde shouts.

Hinata stutters nervously, pressing her index fingers together, "Y-yes, I am sure, Naruto."

Nearby, Yugito hears his yelling and draws nearer to investigate. She peers down on him from a roof and Naruto looks up at her. His surprise is quickly replaced by shock as red chakra starts surrounding him instinctively as blue misty chakra flows off of her.

Naruto's whiskers widen and his canines lengthen. He stares at her with blood red eyes. He growls, "What's weird is that I feel like I know you."

"Kyuubi, it has been awhile," Yugito purrs with a deep demonic voice. Naruto's companions watch with a mix of shock and awe at the power the two demon containers are radiating.

Neji states, after he quickly activates his Byukagun, "Her chakra! It is just like Naruto's was at the tournament!"
