--Chapter 3: Reinforcements!--

Meanwhile, back in Naruto's world, Sakura and Lady Tsunade had just gotten wind of their colleagues' disappearance.

"What should we do?" Sakura didn't want to admit it, but she was worried about Naruto. She had already lost Sasuke, and she didn't want to lose him either.

Tsunade thought for a moment. "Sakura. You, Lee, and Neji will go after them. If they have disappeared, it might be the Akasuki that are behind it. Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara will join you later.''

Sakura bowed, then left to go find her teammates.

Meanwhile, at the Sooga noodle shop, Naruto was enjoying his meal.

''This is as good as the Ichikaku ramen!''

''Don't slurp it all down at once, Naruto! We are in the presence of the authoress!'' Jaryia scolded.

''What's so great about her? She seems pretty normal to me!''

''You saw what she did to that ninja right?''

''The one who ended up dancing and singing 'I'm a Little Teapot' and then ran out of here crying and screaming 'I'll get you for this!'?'' (A/N: Oh yeah, I wondered what happened to Tobei...)

''She could do the same thing to you.'' Jaryia said a little too casually.

Naruto got scared again.

''The authoress has powers beyond the imagination of you or I. She controls whatever world she's in, and nothing can harm her. As long as she has that laptop or something to progress the story, she can control it.''

''So...she could do anything?''

Jaryia took a sip of his tea. ''Yeah. Pretty much.''

Meanwhile, Sakura, Lee, and Neji had just gotten to the Pucca Hole.

''This is where they were last seen?'' Neji asked.

Sakura nodded.

Neji focoused his chakra. ''Byakugan!'' His eyes changed, Neji quickly scanned the hole. ''Nothing. They must be very far down.''

''Then we must go in after them! They might be in grave danger!'' Lee shouted.

''Lee! Wait-'' Sakura tried to stop him.

''I WILL NOT FAIL YOU, GUY SENSEI!!'' And the courageous, if not a bit daft Lee jumped into the vast Pucca Hole.

Neji shook his head. ''What an idiot.''

''Big brother!'' A small voice called out.

Neji knew that voice. ''Lady Hinata! What are you doing here?''

''Lady Tsunade sent us to help too.''

Kiba, Akamaru, and Shino were there too.

Kiba, being a loudmouth and a showoff as usual, was the first to jump into the Pucca Hole with a loud ''Yahoo!''

Sakura stopped Neji from protesting by saying, ''Well, we do need all the help we can get.''

Neji just nodded. And with that, he, Shino, and Sakura jumped down into the Pucca Hole.

SF15: Well, most of the Naruto cast is now down the Pucca Hole. What havoc will ensue?! Please read and review!
