Something that just came to me a while ago and I decided to share. This is a real short one and I suppose you could see it more as a challenge or a foundation to launch a fic.

As for my actual fic which I haven't even touched since the last chapter I updated...I apologize. Every time I got to update it, I just blank out. It's not abandoned, I assure you that, I am just in between the decisions of "Start it over with some new ideas I had" or "what to do next and how to do it right"

If you were to ask Uzumaki Naruto; the Suna kunoichi, Temari; the former companion of Momochi Zabuza, Haku; the Tsuchikage's grand-daughter, Kurotsuchi; or the Kumo shinobi, Omoi when exactly their lives changed, they would all tell you that it started on the day they each found that ring.

No one is quite sure when it was that Uzumaki Naruto, who has an affinity for Wind jutsu, suddenly seemed to have a high affinity for Water jutsu. Nor could they figure out how it was they he could form water techniques without hand-signs or even a verbal command.

No one in Suna was able to figure out how it was that Temari, one of the last battle-fan users, had suddenly come into such powerful fire techniques.

The same could be said about Haku who suddenly was capable of Wind techniques that she had not been previously known for.

It wasn't too surprising to see Kurotsuchi being capable of Earth techniques, but the ones she had taken to using had never been seen before in Iwa.

Omoi...well everyone already use to think he was strange, but if his wild paranoia and controversial theories had set him apart before. The fact that he suddenly was on friendly-speaking terms with so many different summons, not to mention the wild animals that seemed to follow him everywhere, surely raised many an eyebrow.

The final straw, for the Elemental Nations, was during a Chunin Exam in Konoha. The Ichibi was loose just outside of Konoha. There were two, three-headed, snake summons tearing down the village walls. Orochimaru of the Sannin was currently on the verge of killing the Sandaime Hokage. Then...IT happened.

What appeared to be five streams of color shoot upwards into the sky, all heading towards each other. Orange, Blue, Green, Brown and Red. The five streams collided in the air and an orb of chaotic bright white formed.

After an explosion of color cascaded over the village, a voice was heard.

"By your Powers combined, I...am Captain Planet!"
