"Naruto. Wake up damn it."
Naruto began to open his eyes. He saw a blur of pink hair in front of him.
"Sakura-chan?" Naruto said softly.
"Yea. About time you woke up. Where are we?" Sakura asked as Naruto began to look around. They were in a big crater with chunks of clay and mud around them. No trees were visible around them. Fog was thick in the area.
"I don't know." Naruto said. Then Naruto saw something in the far end of the crater. He got up and began to walk towards it. Sakura followed slowly.
"What is it Naruto?"
"I think I saw this somewhere. For some reason it looks familiar." Naruto said in confusion. It was then that Naruto realized what he was staring at.
"Oh my God. I know what this is." Naruto said in shock.
"What is it?" Sakura asked as she was staring at the object. "It just looks like a branch.
"It isn't a branch. It is an arm. And I think I know who it belongs to." Naruto said. "What, an arm? Sakura screamed.
"Yea. Remember when we went after Gaara when those two weird Akatsuki guys captured him. While you were fighting that short guy with Chiyo, me and Kakashi-sensei went after the guy on the bird. While we were chasing him, Kakashi-sensei showed me his Mangekyo Sharingan. Then he used it on the Akatsuki bastard, but only got his arm." Naruto said as he remember the chase.
"But why is it here?" Sakura said slowly.
"Because Kakashi-sensei's Mangekyo Sharingan teleports an object which it is focused on to another dimension. And I think that we got sent to that other dimension when Kakashi-sensei woke up." Naruto said.
"Then how do we get out of here? There has to be a way out." Sakura said with a scared tone.
"I don't think we can. We should get out of here and look around." Naruto said calmly.
Naruto leaped into the air and landed on the cliff of the crater. Sakura appeared beside him shortly. The fog made it hard to see into the distance. Naruto and Sakura began to walk forward.
"Do you think anyone else is here" Naruto asked Sakura.
"How should I know? Sakura screamed at him.
"Hey no need to yell. I was just asking."
"Sorry, I am just scared out of my mind right now. I never thought that this would happen." Sakura said. "What I don't understand is how did we get teleported if Kakashi-sensei's Sharingan eye was covered with a cloth?
"Don't know. Probably slipped off when he got up from his nightmare." Naruto said wondering at the thought.
They both continued to walk until they saw a little cottage ahead of them. Naruto went ahead and looked around to see if anyone was inside. Sakura came up to the door and knocked on it. No noise came from inside the cottage. Naruto then opened the door and walked in. "Naruto, don't go in. It isn't polite." Sakura said as she walked in after him.
"Doesn't look like anyone lives here. Maybe it was deserted." Naruto said.
"If it was then by whom?" Sakura said as she looked around. The cottage wasn't too big, but not too small either. A kitchen was visible in the back and a door partially open to show a bedroom. A table and three chairs were in the room which appeared to be the living room. Nothing else was seen.
"This is getting creepy. But at least we have somewhere to stay." Naruto said. "Oh no. What if this place doesn't have any ramen?"
"Idiot. How can you think about ramen at a time like this?" Sakura began to scream.
"But what are we going to eat? This place doesn't look like there are stores around." Naruto replied. "Then I guess we will have to scout around for them." Sakura said as she began to walk towards the door.
"Hey wait for me."
They walked outside and began to walk in the direction they were originally walking. After about fifteen minutes, a cliff was seen in front of them. As they neared it, Sakura gasped.
"This cannot be happening." Naruto said in anger and shock at the same time. In front of them was a city in ruins. Fire was still burning all over the place. As Naruto looked down, he noticed where they were. "Oh no. This can't be…." "What? What is it?" Sakura asked as she also looked down to where Naruto was staring at. She then let out a loud gasp as she saw five giant heads all distorted on the cliff wall.
"This can't be Konoha. How could this have happened?" Sakura asked.
Naruto then jumped down and began to surf his way to the ruined city. Sakura followed him. Naruto began to look for survivors as he screamed out for anyone who could hear him. Sakura caught up to Naruto and they looked around.
"We should go to the Hokage's office. Maybe someone is there." Sakura said as she began to go into the direction of the building with the Hokage office.
As they neared the building, the fires were burning here as well. Naruto began to form hand seals for a water jutsu. Naruto began to form a cloud over the building as rain started to pour over the building. After a few moments, the fire began to die down. Sakura went in and dashed towards the office. She tried to open the door, but the door knob was to hot. Naruto then came from behind her and kicked the door down. The fire was all over the place as papers were scattered on the floor. It was clear that no one was here.
"Where is everyone?" Sakura asked as she and Naruto walked back outside.
"Maybe they all evacuated. But if they did, then where would they go?" Naruto replied. "In case of an invasion, Konoha's manual states that everyone is to be evacuated into the Hokage monument. But the Hokage monument looks like it is falling apart. So they can't be in there." Sakura said.
"Lets look around some more." Naruto said.
After searching the city with no progress, Naruto and Sakura met up at the Hokage tower. "Did you see anyone?" Naruto asked. "No." Sakura replied. "We should try to get some food."
They then went to some stores and found some food lying around. They took as much as they can carry and went back to their cottage. As they were nearing the cottage, Naruto tried to talk to Kyuubi. But no results came out of that. They entered the cottage and Sakura put the food they got into a cupboard in the kitchen. Naruto took two chairs from the living room and took them outside. Sakura came outside and sat in one of the chairs.
"How long do you think we will be here?" Sakura asked.
"I don't know. Hopefully Kakashi-sensei will figure something out soon." Naruto replied. "Maybe it will be soon."
"I don't think so you brat."
Naruto and Sakura looked to the direction of Konoha and saw someone standing there with a big sword behind them.
"Who are you?" Naruto screamed at the mystery person as he and Sakura both got up and prepared themselves for the worst.
"Oh come on. You don't remember me? Has it been that long that you don't even remember me."
"I asked who you were. I won't repeat myself." Naruto said.
"Its me, Zabuza."
