Chapter 2: 1st Encounter
Naruto P.O.V.
His desk was a mess. Paper, stapler, pencils and other objects were thrown all over the mahogany desk. Not a square inch of the it could be seen. It's tough being Hokage, all this damn paperwork! Naruto was hurriedly writing and filling out documents. Well...more like thrashing his pencil around and putting dark pencil marks on the page. But at least he was getting the job done!...right? Anyway everyday more and more paper work came in, almost as if he never worked at all the day before. Ramen would be great right now. He looked back at the piles of paper work. He sighed. If there are so many great hokages, then why haven't they created the paperwork jutsu?
But not even the paperwork could bring down anyone in the leaf village. The weather was perfect, the cool breeze and warm sun were a perfect combination.
Argh! I'm going to go insane by doing paper work for 5 hrs straight!
~O paper beats weather. Got to remember that.~
Naruto was rubbing his eyes, but no matter how hard the letters were still swimming around on the page. Fine. I could take a little break. He put down his pencil and re-rubbed his sore eyes. Then he got up and walked around, looking through the windows at the beautiful scenery. The tall trees swaying in the breeze, children playing on the playground at ninja school, and the bustling market in the center of the village. It was one of the beautifulest summer day in the leaf village and many people were happy. Suddenly he heard knocking on the door. "Come in!"
Shikamaru popped through the door.
"Naruto, some genin have come. They want their next mission."
"Okay let them in" Konohamaru and his 2 other friends walked in. Naruto smiled, he remembered when he was just like those kids.
"We want our next mission!" The three called in unison.
Naruto laughed. They were so much alike, him and those kids. Well...he wasn't exactly like them back when he was a kid. Because of the nine tailed fox in his body. Thinking back he thought, What might have been different if I had no nine tailed fox inside? Or if the 4rth hokage didn't die? Naruto stopped himself. No. Everything that happened was suppose to. If it didn't, there might not even be a leaf village. Naruto thought again when he first met his dad. He smiled. I wish I got to know him better. My own dad, so great. But the 4rth hokage was only known to him by all the books in the library and momentums. Not by actual memory in his mind, except for that one moment.
Konohamaru ran to the glass windows, pressing his face against the window and looking up at the sky. "Hey! Look at that!"
"What is it now Konohamaru? A bird?"
"Nooo. Don't you see it?" Naruto looked up at the blue skies, nothing. He turned away from the windows.
"Come on stop kidding around. Don't you want your mission?"
"Ahh!"
"Konohamaru!"
Konohamaru was surprised by the pure white light that was lighting up the room. Naruto looked back at the sky, he could definitely see it now. It was so bright, it's light illuminated the entire leaf village. He squinted, trying to see better. The light was burning his eyes, but he had to see. Looking closer he could tell it was almost like some sort of bright rock falling fast through the air. Though the strange thing was that the light didn't come because it was falling, but almost like the strange light was coming from the rock it's self.
"Hokage! Hokage! Someone is trying to attack us!" The leaf village has almost returned to what it was before, but if another attack came the village it wouldn't be able to take it.
"I need Kiba, Shikamaru, and Sakura to scope it out. Don't engage unless you have to!"
"Yes, I'll get them" a guard quickly ran out of the room in search of the other 2 ninjas.
"Make sure every one stays in their homes!"
"Yes sir" Another guard fled out of the room.
"You 3 go to your homes immediately."
"Whaaat! we just got here."
"NOW!"
"Jeez ok ok."
When the 3 genin left the room, it was just Shikamaru and Naruto. "What do you think this means Naruto?" questioned Shikamaru. Naruto didn't know, he looked down at his village again through the glass windows all around his office. Nobody was around and everything was silent. Except for the sound of the crash in the forest.
Bleach P.O.V
It was so bright, almost hurt to open his eyes. He put his hand over his eyes hoping to shield away some of the light. His whole body hurt, but going against the pain he sat up and looked around him. He was on the ground of the van. He could see the damage to the car of the fall. The windows were either cracked or smashed in, and dents were all over the car, almost like the craters on the moon. But worst of all was the gear changer. It was black and shriveled, and hot steam was coming out of it.
Guess we aren't going back home in this thing. Ichigo looked through what use to be the car windows, all he could see were green leaves. He could hear a bird in the distance. Where the heck am I?
Suddenly he remembered what happened. They were falling. Fast. Oh my god! Renji, Rukia, Orhime, Chad, and Uryu. He looked around, but they were no where to be seen. In panic he quickly opened the car doors, he was about to jump out the door when he realized that action could be fatal, the ground was way farther than what he expected. He realized where he was. On a tree. A big one. Slowly he leaped from branch to branch, making his way to the bottom. He finally landed softly in the grass when he saw his friends, they too seamed lost. Looking around he realized they were all in a large clearing in what seamed like the middle of a forest. How are we going to get back home?
His friends didn't even seem to notice that Ichigo was there. Annoyed Ichigo called, "Wow thanks everybody for waking me up and telling me where you were." he said sarcastically. Rukia and Renji were bickering and didn't even notice the annoyed strawberry.
"Sorry Ichigo. We tried everything to wake you but you just wouldn't wake up. We figured that you would eventually and you would come find us." Orihime replied.
"Yeah it was almost like trying to wake up the dead. In fact we almost thought you were dead" Renji said interrupting and breaking away from his argument with Rukia.
"Grrr. Renji! it's all your fault we were in this mess! Nobody would have been thought dead if only you didn't use that car!"
"Shut up you! It's your fault we are even here! You were the one who found the stupid thing!"
"ME! It was you! And YOU were the one who was BEGGING to GO!"
"WHAT! You BRAT!"
Renji lunged at Rukia, but missed. The two were now running around avoiding the attacks from the other.
"Wow, I can tell those two are really close" Orhime said.
"Are you kidding me? Those two practically hate each other" Ichigo replied.
"Aww Ichigo you wouldn't understand. It's a woman's intuition!" Orhime said gleaming, happy to think that she had the edge on something.
Suddenly Uryu felt a presence near their area. It was weird, something he haven't felt before. "Everyone! I think something is here."
"What? Nothing is here. It's probably some animal, humans don't even exist right now."
"Ichigo first of all you never have really been good at detecting spiritual energy so I wouldn't be talking if I were you. And second of all, by looking at our surroundings, we have only gone back probably when there are still humans around here. If there are humans around I doubt they have any communicating abilities, so we have to be very careful interacting with them."
Ichigo grumbled something under his breath but Uryu wasn't paying attention.
Suddenly Ichigo felt it too. A weird spiritual energy that felt almost human. But not quite.
Rukia and Renji stopped, eyeing the forest behind them, they felt it too.
Renji and Ichigo took out their swords. Preparing themselves for what ever was to come.
Naruto P.O.V.
"I see the intruders. Close in everyone." Shikamaru signaled Kiba and Sakura to come closer. The three were all hidden carefully away in the forest, Akamaru was even farther away in the trees, to make sure no one saw his large form."Hmm weird clothes. They are definitely not from around here. A far off village that we haven't heard of?"
"Probably, question is what are they doing here? And are they are allies or enemies?" Sakura proposed.
"Their defense is weak, but we shouldn't underestimate them. I think Sakura should go in with Kiba and Akamaru just to be safe. I will be back here. I could use the shadow jutsu if things go wrong. Remember, don't engage! We are simply here to get information."
"Right!"
The 5 strangers looked at the ninjas and Akamaru in surprise. Orange head and red head moved to the front of their group. Both holding swords.
The ninjas stopped 10 feet away from them. The groups eyed each other. Thinking the same thing. Who the heck are these people?
Hmm their clothes are so strange. Nothing I have ever seen before. Sakura looked at the small girl with raven black hair. A simple blue dress? She doesn't look like she has any combat abilities. She turned to the other girl. Same thing, she doesn't look like she would fight anyone. Cute clips though. Sakura looked at the next intruder, the tall dark skined guy. Whoa he's huge. He probably has combat abilities. I better be careful dealing with him. Sakura inspected the 2 guys up front. Both wearing black robes. Those two. They look like fighters. Probably swordsmen. Sakura looked at the last stranger, glasses and one of the most bizarre clothing. That's a weird one. Maybe the brains of the group but doesn't look like he could actually do anything.
Suddenly the stranger in glasses spoke up. "I-Uryu" He pointed at himself. "My-friends." His hands pointed to the rest of the group. "We-come-in-peace." He continued moving his hands around and trying to have a conversation in basic words, but Sakura wasn't listening, she was reanalyzing the intruders.
They were idiots.
Sakura then decided to speak "Uh, we are ninjas of the leaf village. We don't wish to fight you. You have come into our territory and we wish to know what you came here for."
The boy in glasses went a little pink.
"Haha wow Uryu you really look stupid now"
"Oh shut up Renji!"
After the guy in the weird white clothes fixed his glasses. He spoke again "Uh, sorry about that. I didn't know you could communicate. Well, we don't wish to fight either. We came here to be able to go back in time. But considering your ability to speak and all I highly doubt we have actually went back in time. So I think instead of going back in time...we just accidentally found another world!"
A second passed. Sakura looked at the little group. I highly doubt that's the truth. But it's so dumb. I don't think they are actually trying to trick us. Unless they really are stupid. So what could it be? Two options, either truth or idiots. I should ask Kiba. Sakura turned to Kiba. Kiba was gripping his stomach.
"Kiba! Are you ok?" Kiba's body was shaking.
"Kiba?"
Suddenly he burst out...laughing. "Trying to go back in time-haha-falling into other worlds-hahhahaha. What crap!" He was practically using all his energy to keep him from rolling on the ground now.
"Kiba!"
Gaining control, he assessed the situation. "This has to be a LIE! These people must be trying to sabotage the village. But we caught them just in time. I say we tie them up and bring them back right now!" He told Sakura.
Akamaru growled.
"Kibaaa! This is only a recon mission. We shouldn't be doing that!" Sakura whispered.
"So are you saying that we should just let them go!"
"No, just that we shouldn't be making rash decisions."
Kiba started to feel anger build up inside. He couldn't believe it. Sakura wouldn't even think that the strangers could attack the village? Even after that crazy lie that was obviously not true. They couldn't afford to be nice to people and give them benifit of the doubt, the village was weak and it was up to the ninjas to keep it safe.
"O fine I'll do it! I need to protect the village. So if I need to do this to protect the it I will. Come on Akamaru!
"Kiba STOP!" Sakura yelled. But it was too late.
"Beast Human Clone!"
Akamaru howled, and slowly he was starting to transform. In seconds, the transformation was complete.
"Now Piercing Fang!"
Quickly the intruders organized themselves, into battle formation. "Release! ZABIMARU!" yelled the red-head. His sword changed form into a spiked sword.
HAHA with this jutsu they wouldn't be able to even catch up with me. It doesn't matter what they do to their swords I'll break them. And take them captive back to the village!
"Akamaru! You get the orange head!" Akamaru nodded his head. This is going to be fun.
In a burst a speed he ran at the red head.
"KIBA NO!"
But it was already too late.
