The air shimmered like there was a heatwave, and a figure garbed in a dark robe fell from nowhere; from the shimmer. The tear in the space/time continum fadded away, and Madara felt under his back.
"What is this? A severed arm! Must be Deidara's."
Madara discarded Deidara's arm off to the side and stood up to take in his surroundings. He appeared to be ontop of some sort of metal heap at the edge of a village.
"Where in the world am I?" he wondered to himself. "I've never been here bef-"
Madara was cut off as the air shimmered once again. Madara ran behind a car door propped up on a refridgerator to keep his presence concealed. Sasuke and Naruto fell through the portal, landing ontop of each other, belly-up, on the metal heap.
"Ow..." Naruto said. "That hurt. At least there was something soft to break my fall."
"That 'something soft' was ME, you idiot! Get off!!
Naruto and Sasuke stood up and looked around.
"Where are we?" Naruto asked.
"I don't know." Sasuke looked back at Naruto, who had his back turned, and began a Chidori. Looks like we can still mould chakra, he thought. Sasuke fell into a quick stance and ran at Naruto, who jumped just in time for Sasuke to run under him and off the pile. Sasuke grabbed onto the arm of a couch and pulled himself back up to the platue where Naruto stood.
"What was that for!?" Naruto yelled.
"No matter where we are, Naruto," Sasuke replied. "You will always be my enemy." Sasuke ran at Naruto with his sword, and Naruto dodged it, hitting Sasuke with a Rasengan as he did so.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you, Kyuubi." Madara stepped out from behind the car door and helped Sasuke up.
"So you're here, too."
"Where did you think I went!? We were warpped with the same jutsu!"
"How would you know? You were here first!"
"Well, you're here, aren't you!?"
"Enough, gentlemen," Sasuke said, slightly calmly with a hint of irritability. "We're not here to fight..." Sasuke made a Chidori. "With our words, at least."
Naruto made a Rasengan. "I agree!"
Naruto and Sasuke ran at each other, colliding and creating a massive energy ripple that sent both of them down the sides of the pile. Then Madara (who phased through the blast) noticed that the air was shimmering again.
"And that's my que!" Madara warpped away just before Kakashi fell onto the pile of melted metal.
"Hot, hot, hot, hot ,hot!!!" Kakashi jumped up and onto an old chair that wasn't singed to a point that it burned his skin. "Now, where is everyone?"
Sasuke, who was at the bottom of the hill on a soft, yet old and run down recliner, sat up and rubbed his head.
"Oh, that's worse than I remember." Sasuke activated his Sharingan to see where Madara and Naruto were, and saw that Kakashi was there, and Naruto was on the other side of the hill.
"It's not worth it," he said to himself, and warped away with his Mangekyo Sharingan powers.
Naruto sat up in his less comferatable, and now smashed, landing place, an old table that was falling apart, even more so thanks to his landing.
"Owww... My head hurts!" Naruto rubbed his head and sat up, seeing a very small village quite a ways off, maybe a couple minutes run.
"Maybe there's a healer there, I don't feel to good." Naruto ran over to the village, and found that it was surrounded by a metal fence.
"No matter." Naruto jumped the fence and started to walk around the small village, about the size of a market in the Hidden Leaf.
Kakashi stood, swordless, with his headband up, trying to find the others. Where could they be, he thought. From his high perch, Kakashi managed to miss the village Naruto spotted, and instead saw a much larger one to the north, where as Naruto was going to the northeast.
"Maybe they went that way to find out where we are," Kakashi said to himself. "They probably didn't but that's my reason for going." With amazing speed, Kakashi ran down to the large village/small city.
"Not much out here, is there?" There was a 'honk' and Sasuke spun around to see the entrance to a city, and a mechanical vehicle comming towards him.
"What in the-?" Sasuke crashed his hand down hard on the front of the car, which he had never seen before, with a Chidori. With a small explosion, the car flipped verticle, and fell back down, a gaping hole in the engine and all the electricle circuits fried. Sasuke looked into the eyes of the family of four inside the car with his Sharingan, and then teleported into the city.
Madara found himself in a simmilar situation, inside the city. He was in the middle of a street, and a car (which he hadn't seen beofre, either. No one had seen cars before) was comming straight for him. There was a loud honk, and people on the sidewalks pointed at him in horror. There were shops on either side of Madara, because that's what he was focusing on, where he was, instead of what was comming for him. At the last second, the masked man looked towards the car and murmered, "Almighty Push," sending the car flying backwards just as it was mere inches from his face.
Onlookers stared in shock as the man who came out of nowhere sent a car flying without touching it. Then Madara, unwanting such attention, teleported ontop of a nearby inn (apartment building) to look around.
I appear to be near the center of this large village, he thought to himself. It appears to be larger than the leaf, and it seems as though no one has ever heard of what I can do. Interseting...
Naruto found the small village to be nearly empty, and those who were there not very hospitible.
"Hey, kid," one of the people, wearing old clothes, said. "Why're you wearing that stupid orange jumpsuit?"
"You're one to talk!" some young kid, maybe 12 or 13, said to the man.
"Be quiet, kid." Naruto turned his back on the man and kept looking for a medical ninja.
"Excuse me," he said to a person sitting behind a table near a gate in the metal fence. "Is there a medic in this village, I think I hit my head."
"Did you pay?" the woman sitting behind the desk, also wearing old clothes, asked.
"Pay?"
"You have to pay to be in here, kid-!"
"Oh, sorry. Here you go." Naruto pulled out his wallet. "How much?"
"Five dollars."
"Alright." Naruto pulled out five Ryo. "Here's five Ryo."
"What the heck's a 'Ryo'? Are you trying to rip me off!?!?"
"What? No, I-"
"What's going on, here?" a man, keeping with the theme of old clothes, asked.
"This kid's trying to pay with some fake money he calls 'Ryo'."
"Ryo?" The man took the coin, examined it, and bit it. "We need real money, kid."
"I'm sorry, that's all I have-"
"You're trying to scam us, aren't you?"
"No, I'm serious, I-"
"Save it for the cops, kid. They're on their way."
Naruto's anger got the best of him, and he made a Rasengan. "RASENGAN!" He punched the man in the stomached with his jutsu, sending him flying into the wall of an old building, causing it to collapse.
"FREDRICK!" the woman called. There was the whirring of sirens and the rumble of tires on gravel as police cars began to arrive.
"What in the world...?" Naruto said to himself.
"Enough with the act, kid. It's the cops. You know, the police?"
"Oh, man. It's the ANBU!"
"Call 'em what you want, they're comming for you."
Two police cars pulled up in front of the gate and four policemen began to come out of the cars.
"YOU CAN'T TAKE ME!" Naruto ran out the gate, jumped over the cars, and ran down the road they came from.
"Unit One to base, Unit One to base. Our suspect is on the move, we need back up. He's a young kid, sixteen, maybe fifteen. He has messy, spiked blonde hair, and wears an orange and black jumpsuit. No problem in connection, sir, I did say an orange and black jumpsuit. Over."
"Roger that, Unit One. Reinforcements are on the way, keep on his tail." The cops drove after Naruto, who was running at ninja speed.
"Base, this is Unit One again. Another trait of this kid is he can run at about speed limit. Nope, he's definitly on foot and he's going forty. I'm telling you, sir, there's nothing wrong with our connection, I'm actually saying this. NO I DON'T NEED A DRUG TEST!!!! Over and out!"
The cops chased Naruto down to the end of the road, where he turned right, down more gravel road, towards a bridge. "Suspect has turned right towards the bridge, over."
As Naruto made it down to the winding road to the bridge, three more cop cars cut him off, and the two that were following him cut him off so he was in the middle of a circular dirt driving pit. Two cops got out of every car and crouched down with their guns ready to fire.
"End of the road, kid," the one cop of Unit One who did the talking said. He cocked his gun. "Or, whatever you are." He fired a bullet that just barely skinned Naruto's shoulder.
Naruto fell to the ground, gropping his injured shoulder.
"HOW DARE THEY!!!" the Kyuubi screamed in Naruto's head. The Kyuubi's chakra exploaded into the cut, and then around Naruto's body, creating his new Kyuubi cloak.
"Base, this is Unit One. Yeah, it is about that kid again. You might want to make sure our connections good before you hear it this time."
Naruto launched a Kyuubi claw towards one of the cop cars in his way to the bridge, and crushed the engine and electronic diveiced, causing it to blow up, to a degree. The two cops were blown to the sides, and Naruto fell to all fours and ran through his opening, all other bullet's stopped by his cloak.
"Whoa, boy!"
"What is it, Unit One?"
"You really won't belive this one."
Kakashi ran through the town, keeping his speed to a minimum as to not draw suspicion. I don't know where I am. My ANBU training should let me blend in perfectly in a minimal ammount of time, and while I'm trying to figure out the norm, not draw people's eyes.
Two people looked oddly at the quick jogger, with some sort of headband covering his left eye. Kakashi waved and looked back down the street.
Obiviously, either the flack jacket or the headband isn't normal. Or both of them.
Kakashi ran down to the library and asked the librarian, who also gave his headband a funy look, for history books . After being pointed in the right direction, Kakashi sped read through all of them in minutes to learn as much as he could about where he was.
Such odd place names, he thought as he read through textbooks, and atlas's for references. China, Japan, America, Canada, Russia, all of them, really.
Kakashi put the books back and thanked the librarian, finishing off their conversation with an odd question.
"This may sound odd, but I hit my head, and I was wondering where I was."
"Weyburn, Saskatchewan."
"Come again."
"It's in Canada. You seem to like atlas's, look it up!"
Kakashi went back to find out where he was before he left. What a shrewd old lady.
After he left the library, he went down to the next place he thought his skills would come in handy.
"You want a job?" the receptionist asked, in a dull tone that never changed.
"Yes I would." The receptionist eye Kakashi up and down. Kakashi had replaced his Joint Shinobi Alliance headband with a bandana, combed his hair back, but kept the flack jacket.
"And you don't have a resume?" she asked.
"No I do not."
"What's with the bandana?"
"Wouldn't you rather ask if I have any past experience?"
The receptionist sighed. "Do you have any past experience?" she asked, in an even duller tone.
"I fought in 'Nam, ma'am. I lost an eye out there, thus my bandana, and I became so fearful for my life, I never took my flack jacket, or 'bullet-proof vest' off. After the war, I calmed down so my paranoia went away, but I was almost... Addicted to my flack jacket. I could never really give up the feeling of war, so I thought this would be the next best thing."
"You think being a small town cop is equivalent to being a soldier in 'Nam?"
Kakashi froze for a second. "Yes...?"
"You're in. You start now. Your first assignment is with senior officer Georgeson. Your going to be tracking a very... Interesting kid..."
Will Kakashi's story fly for much longer? Will he have to arrest Naruto? Where does Naruto plan to go? Where did Sasuke go? What will Madara do next? Who hasn't figured out where they are yet? All these questions answered, and more, in the next chapter! Don't miss!
"What is this? A severed arm! Must be Deidara's."
Madara discarded Deidara's arm off to the side and stood up to take in his surroundings. He appeared to be ontop of some sort of metal heap at the edge of a village.
"Where in the world am I?" he wondered to himself. "I've never been here bef-"

Sasuke found himself at the outskirts of the city Kakashi was going into, but on the other side. Not only that, but Sasuke had his back turned so all he saw was open space, and a few bushes to his left."Not much out here, is there?" There was a 'honk' and Sasuke spun around to see the entrance to a city, and a mechanical vehicle comming towards him.
"What in the-?" Sasuke crashed his hand down hard on the front of the car, which he had never seen before, with a Chidori.
