The following story is a joint effort of me and shkamaru15. We liked each other's work and after talking about it for a while we decided to try writing a story together. The story is a crossover between Naruto and Stargate Atlantis. The idea for this story had been floating around in the back of my head for a while, but I really hadn't gotten around to doing anything with it. We hope to get about a chapter out every one to two weeks if possible. The time frame of our story begins with Naruto filler episode 173 and the first season of Stargate Atlantis.

Anyway here is the first chapter of our story we hope you enjoy it!

Disclaimer: We don't own Naruto. As much as we want to we just don't, please just ignore our heartbroken sobbing as we absorb this reality.

A Simple Job, Yeah Right!

The three, young shinobi were standing at the front gates of the village of Konoha. They had been given a mission they couldn't fail by the fifth Hokage. Tsunade had been quite clear on the matter: failing meant going back to the academy, and that was something that Naruto Uzumaki,
Kiba Inuzuka and Hinata Hyuuga weren't willing to do. The mission actually
looked rather simple: their client, a man named Agari Kaisen, had trusted them
with a map revealing the location of a treasure. All they had to do was get
the treasure.

At the moment, Kiba was arguing with Naruto about him being a burden to the
team.

"Naruto you idiot! I'm the one who should be in charge. I've spent weeks training out in the mountains with Akamaru!" shouted Kiba while Akamaru growled from his familiar perch atop Kiba's head.

"But the map says this is the fastest way to go!" Naruto shouted back, jabbing the map with his finger.

The conversation ended when both shinobi agreed to a race to see who the real burden to the team was.

"Hey Hinata!" Naruto shouted as he shoved his face up next to Hinata's.

"W..W..What N..N..Naruto?" asked the now red faced girl.

"You're going to come with me right?" Naruto asked.

Hinata could only silently nod her head and desperately wish that the mission would
go well.

Hours later, both Hinata and Naruto were completely exhausted. In his determination to prove that he was not a burden to the team, Naruto had set a grueling pace. Hinata had faithfully and without complaint followed Naruto. Needless to say, Kiba won.

Unfortunately with all the arguing they weren't able to notice the three people that had been quietly following them. The three mysterious figures with flashing red eyes now sat hidden a short distance away carefully watching the trio as they stood at the mouth of a cave.

It was a limestone cave, like the one the treasure was supposed
to be in. But the map said the one they were looking for was supposed to
be further ahead. Naruto didn't really care, so he entered the cave, closely
followed by Hinata and not so closely followed by an annoyed Kiba. It
happened when Naruto and Hinata reached a dead end. A pair of red eyes
flashed once again in the darkness of the cave, followed by the glint of a kunai knife
soaring through the air. Suddenly the ceiling of the cave was collapsing
over them filling the air with dust and debries.

Luckily, Kiba and Akamaru were able to save their teammates, but Hinata
was left with a nasty gash to her leg. After wrapping it up in bandages, Kiba decided to search for the treasure alone. The upcoming terrain would be much more
difficult and it was not something an injured shinobi or a knucklehead ninja would be
able to go through.

"You stay here and watch Hinata Naruto." Kiba ordered. He braced himself for the expected outburst from Naruto. Much to his surprise the only argument he got was from the normally quiet Hinata.

"No Kiba-kun Naruto should go with you!" Hinata said in a firm voice.

Kiba wondered if the subject of the discussion would notice Hinata's lack of a stutter. Hinata's long time crush on the blond headed ninja was well known to everyone in the village with two notable exceptions: her father and the knuckle head Naruto himself.

"No Hinata, Kiba is right I need to stay here with you." Naruto said.

Both Kiba's and Hinata's heads whipped around and they stared at Naruto in surprise. Neither had ever heard Naruto give in so easily.

"What?" said Naruto sheepishly as he stood with his hands behind his head, elbows pointed out and a sad grin on his face. "It is partly my fault that Hinata got hurt."

"I..i...it's al...all right Naruto." Stammered Hinata.

"Fine it is settled then." Said Kiba before Naruto could change his mind. With a quick wave Kiba and Akamaru headed out.

Soon after Kiba and Akamaru had left Naruto and Hinata behind, two of the red eyed
ninja that had been following them jumped out of their hiding spot, throwing
smoke bombs at them. Neither Naruto nor Hinata were able to put up a struggle.

When Naruto came to his senses several hours later, he was laying down on the floor of a cave,
all tied up. Glancing around he saw Hinata a short distance away from him.

"Hinata!" Naruto shouted. But the answer didn't come from the Hinata he was
looking at.

"I'm over here!"

There were two Hinatas, tied up just like him. After asking if they were
twins, it was clear to Naruto that one of them was a fake, but who? Even their
voices sounded alike! He asked them the name of Hinata's father, but they both
got it right. Naruto whispered that he wished that Kiba and Akamaru were here because they would be able to distinguish them by their scent. At that moment a familiar voice denied it. A man slowly emerged from the shadows. It was their client, Agari Kaisen.

"Hey, weren't you the client who hired us for this gig? What're you doing here?" Naruto asked.

"I hired you, but it wasn't the buried treasure I was really after. It was your faces."

"Faces?"

"That's correct young man. I already have your face." Another Naruto got out from who knows where.

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki! Believe it!" he said.

Agari Kaisen said he was now going out to get his last face. One of the tied up Hinatas got up, and the rope fell on the floor. The fakes gazed at the real Leaf shinobi with evil looks upon their faces. They were going after Kiba.

Sure enough, about an hour later, Kiba was also imprisoned in the dungeon,
along with the real Naruto, Hinata and Akamaru. His face had already been
copied and Kaisen, along with the fake shinobi, stood up, looking at their
prisoners from above. Apparently, they were of the Kedwin clan, and were going to infiltrate the Village Hidden in the Leaves and carry out their mission of destruction. They already knew of the good places to attack, thanks to the arch enemy of Konoha, Orochimaru. But the real shinobi knew their plan now, and weren't going to be allowed to live. Fake Hinata held up a
light. The cave's ceiling was covered with paper bombs, hundreds of them.

With in moments of their departure the three leaf shinobi struggled to free themselves from

their bonds.

"What's that?" asked Kiba pausing his struggles for a moment.

With horrified looks the three all looked up at the ceiling of the cave. They could clearly see the

explosive tags beginning to burn.

With a frantic burst of energy Kiba managed to wiggle himself close to Akamaru.

"Akamaru bite through the ropes!" Kiba shouted at his partner. Using his sharp teeth the small dog made short work of the ropes. In a flash Kiba freed both Hinata and Naruto.

Just as they made their way out of the pit they had been in the explosive tags began to go off.

"Oh no!" cried Hinata "That's coming from up ahead! We're trapped!"

"Everyone this way! We can go this way!" Naruto yelled as he scampered down an opening that had escaped their notice earlier.

Without a moment of hesitation, Hinata, Kiba and Akamaru followed the blond ninja. Seconds after they did the rest of the tags exploded bringing down the rest of the cave.

After a short journey down the side cave the team the team noticed that there was a light ahead.

"Hey maybe this is the way out!" said Naruto. Heedless of traps or ambushes he took off down the cave tunnel towards the light.

"Naruto you idiot! Get back here!" Kiba said in a harsh whisper. Naruto paid him no attention.

"Naruto-kun..." Was all Hinata could bring herself to say.

"Hey guys come quick I found the treasure!" Naruto exclaimed excitedly from up ahead.

Looking at each other in surprise the team hurried to catch up. Rounding a corner they found themselves in a brightly lit room. On one side stood Naruto proudly pointing down at what could be described as a treasure chest.

"I found it! I found it!" Naruto shouted. Spinning around he pointed his finger at Kiba and said "Who's the loser now?"

Before her two teammates could start to argue Hinata asked the most important question" What do we do now?"
