Insert opening song: 'GO!', Naruto op.

Chapter One:"Ayahh! Too too tragic tale..."

'I can't believe I did that' was basically the only thought Ranma had in his head as he stared out at a flooded Jusenkyo. 'I can't believe I killed him' him being the phoenix lord Sa Fu Lang or Saffron, thought to be immortal by many, until now, that is. 'Now if only my fiancées could get along' he thought staring at where yet again his three main fiancées were fighting over... something... presumably him. 'Dammit pops did you have to get me engaged five times over?' was his morose thought. He was so engrossed in his thoughts and so tired that he never saw the mallet, which had been aimed at Shampoo by Akane but deflected, headed his way.

KU-THWAP!

Went the mallet against his head, sending him hurtling into space to land...

SPLASH!

..in the only uncursed pool still in the valley.

'This is just my luck...' Was his last thought before thought slipped away and water slipped into his lungs.

#$just for some background$#!

In heaven or what ever you want to call it, the goddess of randomness snapped her fingers,

"Dang it! He was my best avatar to date! I wish there was a way to get him back! Hey wait a minute! I can! All I need to do is..."

And thus she began plotting...

#$now back to the regular story$#!

Little did those standing on the cliff above know this was not the last time that the walking chaos nexus known as Ranma Saotome would grace this fine world. After all Jusenkyo always has victims, no mater how many lengths are taken to keep people away. And many, many, years later a certain Sannin would hear of these legendary springs and would send a certain red eyed boy and a white haired medic nin to investigate, starting a chain reaction that would lead Chaos itself to take form on this planet.

Chapter two: "10,896 years and an atomic war later"

"So, what are we suppose to be looking for anyway?" this statement was delivered dryly by an apparently 15 year old boy who went by the name of Uchiha Sasuke.

"There have been reports of shape shifters originating north of stone country. Orochimaru has grown curious and has sent us to investigate, also your brother has been sighted in the vicinity" came the reply from his traveling companion Kabuto who handed him the report.

'Itachi.' Just the name alone was enough to make him itch to put his hand through someone's chest, preferably said brother's.

"Hn." was his only verbal response. The valley they were to investigate was three weeks travel away from there current position. "We'd better get moving." No need to lose his brothers trail and not have the chance to put him out of Sasuke's life. Permanently.

Three weeks hard running and five days straight rain later

They were fast approaching the valley that there investigation said was the root of the mysterious shape-shifting ability was located. As they entered the valley the first thing they saw was an abundance of pools with many bamboo poles sticking out of them. The second thing they saw was a hut on the opposing side of the valley. By mutual consent it was agreed that the best place to scout for information was said hut. The fastest way to any where is a straight line and, thus, they took to the pole tops not trusting the wet earth banks to hold there weight. Unfortunately they should have trusted the poles even less.

The first to receive Jusenkyo's dubious blessing was Sasuke. When he landed on a pole in a pool about midway to their destination (and rather near a certain cliff from which a god-slaying martial artist fell to his death 10,896 years ago), it splintered under his weight and, with nothing to grab on to, down he fell, to a soaking that would change his life.

SPLOOSH This is the sound that caught Kabuto's attention and lead to Jusenkyo claiming its 5th victim that day.

"Hey Sasuke! You alright?" Kabuto asked worriedly when Sasuke failed to surface. When there continued to be no sign of the boy hey hopped over to see what was the mater. You remember how I said they didn't trust the earth banks? Kab-chan forgot about it, and thus, when he hopped down next to where Sasuke was still trying to figure out why he felt so funny, the bank he landed on gave way to the water behind him.

#$POV change$#!

The following is what passed through the minds of our two protagonists as the water engulfed them

Sasuke: 'What the? Dammit I'm soaked! Hey! What? I feel strange... almost like when Pops knocked me into the spring of drowned girl. Hey wait a minute father never did that! This is my first time here! Where did these memories come from? Wait, wait... oh god please don't let it be...' With that Sasuke surfaced.

Kabuto: 'Dammit! I'm soaked I hate getting wet! Wha? Why am I suddenly having such a hard time swimming? Why is everything looking different? Where'd these wings come from... wait...WINGS! Oh god, oh god please no, please nooo...' with that Kabuto surfaced.

#$POV change$#!

As the two nin surfaced they already knew that something was horribly wrong. They didn't know just how wrong until they got on solid ground and got a good look at themselves. When they did...

"SCCCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

From the trees bordering the valley two figures who had watched the whole embargo enfold watched in silence as a buxom red-headed girl and an unusually large white peregrine falcon screamed and screeched in horror at what they'd turned into.

"Well looks like my foolish brother and his companion have joined the ranks of the cursed, neh Kisame?" said a small black haired girl to her companion, who was oddly enough, a musk ox that had a sharkish look about him.

The musk-ox now identified as Kisame, nodded and looked at his companion.

"Come on lets get our hands on some hot water" Itachi spoke in a slightly irritated voice, and with that girl and musk-ox left in search of a substance that would become the object of many searches in the near future.

Unknown to either party, a third watched the scene with great amusement.

'Tsunade-sama will want to hear about this! Ufufufufufufu...'
