A Different Future

Chapter one

"Sakura-chan!" yelled a blonde haired hyperactive orphan as he ran towards his best friend, Sakura Haruno. (Yes they were best friends back then)

"What is it Naruto-kun?" asked the pink haired girl

"I got a weird invitation to something," Naruto said, pulling out a crumpled piece of paper, "see? Look"

Sakura took the paper from Naruto's hand. The first time she skimmed it, then she read it slowly, taking in each word on the crumpled 'invitation'.

Dear Naruto,

Please come to a party at 6:00 pm in the diner ally in the western part of Konoha, it will be hosted in Bob's Smokey Deli. There will be free food, including 25 types of ramen, to celebrate your birthday.

The third Hokage

"Cool!" Sakura exclaimed, "can I come?"

"That's what I was going to ask you"

"Sure I'll come!"

"Kay then," Naruto said nodding, "come to my house at 5:30, see ya then!"

Naruto turned around, and started to run waving his hand, "Bye Sakura-chan!"

"Bye Naruto-kun!"

"He really is stupid, isn't he?" whispered a figure in the shadows, who had been watching their conversation.

"He just ensured the demise of him and his friend," replied his partner, "what a fool"

"We'll have done this town good, getting rid of that brat."

"They'll praise us like gods," he started to chuckle, "anyway, we should set up the trap."

"Hai," nodded the first man. They disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Entrance of Konoha

"Zabuza, why are we here?" asked Kimimaro in a calm voice.

"Yes, why are we here Zabuza-san?" Haku asked eyeing Zabuza.

Zabuza looked at both of them, then back in front of them.

"To collect someone," Zabuza said calmly.

Haku's eyes widened, "Really? Who?"

"You'll find out later," Zabuza replied calmly, "we are wasting our time, come." He started to walk forward. Kimimaro and Haku looked at each other, then shrugged and ran to catch up with him.

A/N: Well, that's the end of the first chapter, I'm not updating until someone reviews so, REVIEW! (please?)
