Quick note: "Italics" Means they're talking in Japanese/Elemental Nationese, "No Italics" means English. Enjoy.

Naruto was having a bad day. First he had missed out on a ramen breakfast due to a ramen beast attacking him from his cupboards this morning, and then Ichiraku's was closed due to the owner and his daughter being sick with the flu. Then Sasuke had ran away, meaning he had to chase him. They fought and the teme stabbed him through the chest again with a Chidori. And then he died... only to wake up standing in some office building with fancy computers, a giant screen, and four people shouting at him in some language he didn't understand. Each one pointing some squarish thing with a hole in the center at him.

Assuming they were weapons of some sort he raised his hands slowly, showing that he was unarmed. "Hey... I'm Naruto Uzumaki, shinobi of the Leaf Village... where the hell am I?"

The younger two males looked towards the older silver haired male, while the black haired woman kept her weapon trained on Naruto. He wasn't sure, but it looked like she and the old man understood what he had asked.

As the older man lowered his weapon and walked around, Naruto heard the others putting theirs down as well. "Uzumaki-san, I am Gibbs, and you are in NCIS headquarters..." the newly identified man turned to look at the younger ones, which Naruto assumed were his genin he was training. "DiNozzo!"

"Calling the Japanese embassy Boss, seeing if he's one of theirs..." the taller more athletically built one answered while dialing on a phone.

"McGee!" Gibbs snapped, getting Naruto's attention on the softer, probably most junior male gennin.

"Checking security to see how he got in here," McGee answered crisply typing with a manic fervor at the keyboard in front of him. Naruto leaned in to see a sea of letters and numbers that he didn't recognize being hit as the gennin's fingers flew over the keys. Maybe these were chuunin rather, they seemed to be very well trained and capable.

"Ziva!" Gibbs barked again, causing the woman to step around the desk and hold out her hand towards Naruto.

"I'll take him to the briefing room, and make him comfortable..." she answered before smiling at Naruto. "If you would come with me please?"

"Thank you, Ziva-san?" Naruto replied, testing out the curious name. Getting a nod from the woman, he took her hand and for the first time realized that they were all at least 30, instead of the late teens like he had been figuring. He felt like the kid of 13 that he really was. "Excuse me... but what is NCIS?"

"It stands for Naval Criminal Investigative Services..." Ziva explained while escorting the boy to a pair of metal doors. Pressing a button she waited calmly next to the orange clad boy.

"Woah! A whole Navy! Cool... which nation? Probably Mizu no kuni or Yuki no kuni... Hey if this is Yuki no kuni, can you tell Princess Koyuki I'm here? She'd be really glad to see me..." Naruto rambled while looking around like a kid who had just downed an entire case of pixie stix. "I mean it's gotta be Yuki no kuni, since you got those strange weapons and I haven't seen a single shinobi other than you guys here..."

Ziva took a few minutes to filter everything through her mind before trying again, and coming up with the conclusion that this boy was more than a little lost. "No... this is the American Navy..."

"Oh..." Naruto answered as though that explained everything. After a moment he spoke again. "Where's American in relation to Hi no kuni?"

Ziva's answer would have been cut off by the silver doors opening and the pair entering, if she had one. Instead she waited until the room had stopped moving, revealing a new area to the shocked blonde shinobi. As he looked at the box curiously, almost warily, she began escorting him to a room just down the hall. Another piece of the puzzle fell into place in her mind, and she wasn't liking the picture at all. "I am going to have to ask you to relieve yourself of weapons..."

Naruto turned around to find the woman holding a box made of some strange wood with pore through the sides. Taking it, he was surprised at just how weak it was. Shrugging away his questions, he began dumping his shuriken, kunai, garrot wire, ninja wire, fishing line, explosive tags, lock picks, senbon, stink bombs, smoke bombs, and various other weapons, leaving the box rather packed by the time he was done. "Should I remove my armor too? And do you want to put a chakra disruptor on me?"

"No..." the woman replied, looking a little impressed at the vast array of weapons Naruto had squirreled away. "Would you like something to eat or drink?"

"Got any ramen?" Naruto asked hopefully, hoping for some of that sweet ambrosia he'd been denied all day.

"I will see about getting you some..." Ziva explained while picking up the box that threatened to burst with even that simple movement. "And Uzumaki-san? I have never heard of a Hi no Kuni... and I have been all throughout Japan."

"What's Japan?" Naruto asked curiously.

Ziva David looked blankly at the boy for a moment before nodding. "I see... you are very lost indeed..."
