It Begins Now!

It was peaceful that night, the stars shined without clouds or smog to dim them from the eyes of every animal that looks up into the sky to witness their beauty. There was creatures that normally don't find in a forest, human beings. Two of them to be exact, a boy and a girl, leaning on each other while resting their bodies on the truck of one of the biggest trees in the entire forest; there were also deer, squirrels, birds and such you can find in a forest there too. They were Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga, two people that seemed made for each other; one loud to cover the other who is shy while one with love can share with the another hated by everyone else.

Why are they in the woods while they could be in their village, Konohagakure no Yoto? Simple, there is no Konoha to sleep in. At least, not anymore. Confused? Then let's look into this couples' minds as they were reliving what had happened in their dreams.

Flashback Begins!

"But sensei, I thought we were a team!" Naruto yelled while hearing that his teacher didn't have the time to teach him at the same time as his teammate, Sasuke Uchiha, while his other teammate, Sakura Haruno, didn't seem to mind, just annoyed by the blonde's presence.

"Shut up Baka! Don't ever question our sensei! If you are a waste of time, then that is all there is too it!" Sakura yelled thinking it was enough to get praise from her mountain sized crush on the Uchiha but it was not to be.

"Sakura you are too loud and while I agree with that, you are no different." Sasuke in his usual harsh tone of indifference. Naruto never understood why Sakura keeps going after such a rude and cruel jerk.

"Enough! All of you!" Kakashi Hayate, the leader and teacher of Team Seven that Naruto was assigned to with Sasuke and Sakura, yelled to diffuse the situation. "You must understand that if Sasuke dies then the future of the village is ruined. We must make sure he survives and gets stronger." That unfortunately showed pure favoritism for the Uchiha that Naruto has to listen to ever since the rest of the clan was massacred in a single night by the traitorous and murderous Itachi Uchiha who happens to be Sasuke's older brother.

"That is my point sensei!" Naruto hated that no one would even treat him like a comrade the least ever since he finally became a ninja. "We are a team and we look out for everyone! You said it yourself; those who break the rules are trash but those who abandon their comrades are worse than that!" Naruto tried to look up to his teacher like a role model but was only given even more disappointment that no one ever admitted; and it is all because that Kakashi is a prime candidate for Hokage if the current one dies in the office like the Third only a week ago in an invasion.

But it was not to be as Naruto was answered with a slap on the face and a kick in the belly from Sakura and Kakashi respectably. That really stunned the blonde, sure he was hit on the head many times by Sakura for being 'stupid', even though Naruto has his doubts on that, but he was never hit by Kakashi outside of spars and training.

"No one asked you Baka! What do you know about this! You are nothing but a demon who is going to betray us to death sooner or later!" Sakura was told by her mother that Naruto was a demon who attacked and killed a lot of Konoha Shinobi and civilians thirteen years ago, despite the fact that Naruto was born on that day. Another thing is that it doesn't make sense for Sakura to hate Naruto since she never personally knew anyone that Naruto 'killed' so there is no possible reason for the pink-haired girl to hate him. But no one ever thought of that and in their twisted mind, it all made sense no matter what anyone has to say.

"While I don't personally agree with Sakura but I wouldn't have any student of mine question my ways. I am doing what is best for the village and if you so much as ruin it, I will kill y~" Kakashi said his own opinion until he was silenced by the dark and crushing pressure that erupted into the air around him and this,

"SHUT UP!" Team Seven flinched they knew that Naruto was loud but that ready took the cake. "I have had enough of this bullshit! It is always 'Sasuke this' and 'village that'! So what!? A village is supposed to fall down, because they can be rebuilt again and be even better because whatever destroyed the village cannot do it again!" Naruto yelled which really started to scare his audience and before they could retort back, he went on "And why are we placing our future on the Teme!? Don't give me that 'he is the last Uchiha' crap! So what!? He was supposed to have awakened his bloodline when he was six and he just got it only two months ago while he was still thirteen! I may hate the Uchihas for being stick-up assholes but I will agree that is pathetic!"

"Shut Up Dobe! I have my Bloodline now and that is all that matters!" Sasuke managed to yell back but was cut off again.

"Then what about the rest of us!? If we die for you, then are we heroes!? Will you fight for us!? To protect our homes!?" Naruto continued his rant and only paused to hear Sasuke's answer before getting impatient, "ANSWER ME!"

"NO!" Sasuke then answered with a volume that struck Sakura and Kakashi like a cold arrow and flinched but Naruto was used to such things and just listen to what the boy had to say, "Why should I? You all are useless, from the day you were born not as an Uchiha! Only the Uchihas are worthy of being ninjas! The Village is still standing all because I survived against my brother who managed to kill everyone else in my clan! I am the strongest in the village!" Sasuke would have went on until he was struck hard in the face by none other than Naruto but no one saw that he walked over to his other teammate and slapped her on the face, leaving a red mark and finally, went to Kakashi and kicked him where the sun doesn't shine.

"Thank you. That is all I and the rest of the world needed to know; what the ignorant bastard civilians meddling in our affairs and the senile old crones had done to a single boy and turned another into. They have made that boy's life as horrible as hell as they could possibly can and they turned the other boy into a complete selfish and brooding bastard. Some great village this turned out to be!" Naruto yelled at the top of his voice for his team to hear as they withered in pain, "I am done with this hellhole of a village and I will be sure that the founders will never recognize this place of crap and parent teaching kids to hate if they were here! Good bye!"

As soon as those words were spoken, Naruto fled from the training grounds, snuck past the guards into the forest outside the walls to go and let out his frustrations. What he and the others didn't know was that the blonde's words of anger and disgust for his former home were heard and seen by eyes of a being that cared about only one thing; judgment to those who tortured the pure hearted and praised of the corrupted evil as well as something else for the same person in question

"I can't believe those jerks!" Naruto muttered to himself rather loudly while being surrounded by destroyed and startled forest animals at his power and rage. After the blonde started to calm down and sat down, leaning on a nearby tree that wasn't even scared lest burned. "Why? Why did they had been so? I really thought we were cool as a team and they said a lot of things about being a team. So why didn't they act like one and picked on me when I try to make the best of it?" Naruto then started to cry in confusion and heart wreck that got the woods animals feeling it too. "Was all that a lie? Was all of that just to get me and the Haruno killed while only protect the teme and get him stronger?" Soon, Naruto was crying too hard to keep talking to himself, the critters then started to feel sorry for the blond and approached him softly to comfort him. When he noticed, he didn't fight their attempts. Just allowed them to do what they wanted. Naruto then felt welcomed and loved even thought it was just for pity; a thing he never gotten back in the village. It was too good to end but fate proved them wrong.

The earth started to rumble until it violently shook the trees, which startled the animals for real as they flee away from the tremors. But Naruto was a ninja and a curious one at that so the blonde went the other way. When he came back to see the village, he saw something he could never have even dreamed of.

There, from the sky and who know where, tentacles reached down and grabbed the chunk of earth that the village was resting on and began to take it back to where it came from. Now Naruto could care less about the village especially right now but he had a reason to hurry and stop this from happening. But when Naruto even got close, he was halted and sent back by something that felt something, flat and flexible but nothing you could find in this world.

"At Ease Young One." That voice was like that of a god's and it definitely came from somewhere but as Naruto looked all over, he couldn't see anyone nearby. "You Are Right. This Revolting Place Deserved To Be Punished For Its Crimes. Rest Assure. What You Seek Will Not Be Harmed. This Is Merely Judgment." That left a thousand questions running through the blonde's mind but since he was helpless of the moment, he had no choice but to listen and trust the voice as all Naruto could do was watch the village disappear into the hole in the sky while listening to the screams of fear and panic that belonged to those who were unfortunate to be on the receiving side of this 'judgment'.

When the deed was done and the nightmare was over, Naruto left himself from the ground to see nothing but a crater from which a proud village was constructed on. His mind only had one thing on it. 'What I seek will be spared of this 'judgment'? But...where is she then?' Naruto was starting to panic over how to make of this scary situation until he heard a voice that he recognize anywhere.

"...Naruto-kun..." It was the voice of a girl and it was faint but Naruto knew for sure the direction it was coming from. As the blonde ran down the trail, the voice became louder; a clear sign that he was getting closer. Soon enough, he could see a shape in the horizon that looked like a girl heading in his direction, "Naruto-kun!"

"Hinata!" Yes, Hinata Hyuga was the same reason Naruto ever dared to go back towards Konoha again. It was a secret but Hinata had been seeing Naruto before training and going home; it was great times, Hinata will always welcome Naruto's company and Naruto will always make Hinata laugh and smile while sharing the humorous antics that happens in his team days. It wasn't until they were found and the reactions to 'Demon Brat' being with Hinata, who is the heiress to the Hyuga Clan of warriors who also had a bloodline like the Uchiha Clan, weren't pretty; they were outraged on how 'disgraceful' Hinata was acting while being with the one boy who will treat her like a real person instead of a princess for once. Now, there is nothing keeping the two soul mates from each other again as they hugged tightly.

"Naruto-kun, I thought I was never seeing you again!" For some reason, Hinata seemed to be as panic stricken as Naruto was about never seeing her again. "There was this voice telling me about some 'judgment' and then the village was lifted and taken into the sky and disappeared! It then told me that the one I was 'seeking' will be spared! I am just glad it was you!" Hinata yelled as she dug her fingers into Naruto's clothes, like he was going to disappear if she let go.

Naruto was confused on what was going but he decided to follow his instincts since it worked before. He just let Hinata cry in his chest before she calmed down. When she did, Hinata fell asleep in his arms so Naruto decided to take her away since they were vulnerable as long they remained in the clear. Naruto silently was surprised that it was easy to carry Hinata into the forest from which he just came from himself.

He found the critters who fled the tremors, they were shocked to see the human had remained unharmed and now has another human but seemed to be different to him. They consulted him and his companion all the same until Hinata woke up, startling them once more.

She was surprised to awoken as be carried like a bride and by her crush never the less. "N-naruto-kun..." She muttered in nervousness which grew when she saw Naruto smile at her.

"It is okay Hinata-chan, it is okay. We are together and no one can do a thing about that anymore. We're safe." Naruto said to help her relax and it worked as Hinata no longer blushed and snuggled into Naruto's chest, making the blonde chuckle at how cute she looked.

"Thank you Naruto-kun, I always dreamed of a day like this." Hinata said with a streak of confidence even herself didn't know and she didn't fight it back at all. She just told herself that nothing can happen now she is where she wanted to for years.

Flashback Ends!

Now that was a long flashback but it was the entire story, now back to the present. The couple was still there, leaning on each other for warmth and support throughout the night but that was going one they will never forget, in ways they never will think of.

"Young Ones, Bounded Together By Fate, Arise." That same voice came back to life and while may not have awakened the couple; instead, their souls were taken a place to be told of something never imagined and may never happen to anyone else for the better.

"Mph...How did the grass get some soft and flat?" Naruto muttered while lifting his eyelids in slight confusion only to notice that he wasn't in the woods anymore; he wasn't where he remember at all! In an effort to prevent himself from panicking again, he looked for Hinata and found her still by his side but there was something different about her. Her clothes were gone!

Naruto started to really freak out and blush that he had a sleeping and naked girl of such great proportions on his arm without a care in the world. That is, until she woke up as well and noticed something about Naruto; he was without clothes too!

"N-n-naruto-k-kun...w-why a-a-are you-u-u n-naked?" Hinata couldn't believe her shutter came back after this predicament came about. Naruto then noticed what Hinata did and covered himself while convincing the lavender eyed girl to look down and noticed her naked form; she screamed in embarrassment and covered herself with her arms and legs like Naruto did.

"If this a joke, then I am not laughing!" Naruto yelled out in his own embarrassment until they heard a voice from before.

"Rest Assure Young Ones, This Isn't A Joke." Naruto and Hinata tried to find the voice before remembered when they first heard it and just sat there waiting for what the voice had to say next. "Good Now You Have Settled. Now To Start Off, The Village That Was Taken From Your World Will Be Remain In Its Prison For Five Years." Naruto seemed a little convinced but remained silent. "That May Not Seem Much But There Is A Time Difference Between Your World And The One The Village Has Been Taken Too. The Closest Ratio Will Be That One Day In This Dimension Will Equal To One Year In Your World." That was it, Naruto couldn't take it anymore.

"What! And you said that Konoha will be in that world for three years as well! What does that equal to!?" Naruto went on and he got a chuckle as an answer.

"Indeed It Sounded Like Quite The While But You Will There When This 'Konoha' Will Return. Now Please Listen To What I Am About To Tell You." The voice said and the couple listened.

It was daylight when the couple woke up and got up. They just looked at each other, held their hands and hugged together.

"Come on Hinata-chan, let's make best of what we are burdened with." Naruto said and Hinata nodded, "I know of a good place to go first; Wave Country. I will show you where to go. It is time to start over." Hinata nodded again and the two ninjas took off into the direction of their destination. What they know is that they will be around for a while, watching the world change around them. Then, a blue hedgehog and a yellow fox with two tails appeared from behind the tress looking at the couple from a distance with the desire to join them in their eyes.

End of Chapter 1

*Wow! I started two stories in one day! I am really on a roll ever since I got a brain rush on an idea that actually was in my head for a while but I couldn't get it into words until today. Now if you think I am changing the story of Sonic the Hedgehog, don't worry I have got it covered and another thing, I will be following the games under the name, not the comic series. To be honest, this is the first time I have made a story where the main characters are ageless and immortal so please be easy on the critics.

Another thing is that I have read the reviews for my other story I published today, that some fans were not happy with the epilogue as it defeated the purpose of the series as the development of Naruto and Sasuke. I am sorry about that but I am not the owner of the series so don't sue me for making it worse. Have a nice day!*
