Chapter Text
The "HEY MOVE THE FUCK OVER"'s never ended as you and your friends squashed each other practically over the edge of the couches.
Until someone fell off.
Everything went silent, then explosions of laughter began from a corner, spreading contagiously to all of you.
You had all planned to watch Naruto Shippuden at your house. Only you and your friend, (friend 1), had watched Naruto! Shonen Jump series, and you'd all been avoiding spoilers waiting for this moment.
You dimmed the lights slightly, pulling blankets from your boss pillow forts and sat back, enjoying the moment.
Until it was ruined.
"Hey guys. I'm late....again," Your friend, (friend 2), heaved herself through the window, lazily pulling her legs over and landing with a soft thud! onto the carpeted floor,
"But I brought costa," She added.
Everyone's eyes snapped to her in an instant, sniffing the air and sensing the chocolaty aroma, it smelled like heaven.
Then, like a pack of hounds, they all jumped onto your poor friend, asking her if she'd bought their favourite drinks.
"Why didn't you just use the door?" You questioned (friend 2) as she took a seat beside you.
"The windows closer" She shrugged off your comment and took almost all your blanket cover, wrapping herself up like a burrito and staring at the TV screen.
You shook your head and picked up the remote, signalling to your friends to shut up and sit down quietly, which they gladly did seeing the glow from the screen.
"Naruto Shippuden Episode 28, Return Of The Kazekage." Popped up and you gladly clicked on it feeling your friends encouraging nudge.
You were only that far into the series, you still had a looooong way to go.
Click!
Just then everything went black, the screen, the room, the world was consumed in a darkness so pitch black it was like an endless hole.
Startled, you shot up. What was happening?!
Your friends started screaming frantically, and if not for their loud shouts you wouldn't have known if you were even with them anymore. You felt (friend 2) grip your arm, she wasn't screaming, she wasn't like that, neither was (friend 1) who was on the other side of you. They remained quiet and listened to hear for what was happening. You didn't scream either, but you had a really bad feeling about the situation.
As soon as you thought that, the lights flickered on, blinding you.
"Huh, what am I doing here." A low voice was the first one to speak, maybe Sasuke? Yeah, it was Sasuke.
"Naruto..." That one sounded like the voice actor of Kakashi.
"Huh, what's going on?" Sounds like the guy called Gaara, weird, why weren't your eyes adjusting so you could see what was going on?
"Where's Kisame?" Kisame?! As in from Naruto?! You tried rubbing your eyes now, but it wouldn't work. Was that Itachi?!
"Hey, I could've sworn I was getting groceries for Ma...." Ma? Kiba? Nani?
"Lady Hinata?!" That sounded like the stuck-up Hyuuga Boy, where your ears hearing weirdly or something?
"Man...What a drag" Your eyes were still to blurry to see through, but you were sure that was Shikamaru.
Had the episode already started? It sounded so real, it was weird.
Blinking a few times, the water cleared out of your eyes, and what you saw shocked you.
"I'm just glad your alright, Gaara! Believe it!" Naruto scratched the back of his head before looking in you and your friends direction, then his face dropped.
He realised he wasn't where he had been a few seconds ago the same time as his friends did, and within seconds they all turned towards you, kunai knives in their hands.
Itachi, Neji, Naruto, Gaara, Kiba, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Kakashi. Eight of the most powerful shinobis glared at you, all menacing. Sasuke hadn't recognised Itachi yet, Kiba and Neji hadn't realised the rest of their friends yet, same with Kakashi and Naruto. This was dangerous territory.
You looked over to Itachi then Sasuke, making his eyes wander to his little brother. Upon seeing him, he fled and nobody had even seen him leave.
That was one problem taken care of.
You looked back to the rest of them, holding your hands up in a surrendering position. Kakashi lowered his blade.
"They look like simpletons, no, they haven't even got a chakra signal, probably just villagers or something," You watched his bored eye take a quick survey of your front room, committing everything to memory in case it had to turn into a battle field.
"I agree." Shikamaru nodded his head with his hands in his pockets, but still looked wary of you all. There was a slight twitch in his eyebrow and small changes in all of their faces upon realising eachother but they quickly hid it so their enemy (you and your friends) wouldn't recognise their vulnerability in this situation.
Sasuke backed away upon noticing a mass of blonde hair, just like his brother had him, and scurried off so quickly no-one even acknowledged him in the first place.
Naruto turned to Kakashi, "So we don't have to engage in battle? Dattebayo?"
"Yup" Kakashi replied.
"That's seems the gist of it," Neji continued his doubtful glares at you all, making a snarky comment.
"Fine..." Kiba huffed, placing his Kunai back in his pouch.
"Well, that's good news." Gaara stated, murmuring under his breath.
You and your friends exchanged glances, but none of them were willing to speak, afraid of the knives they had earlier seen, so you mustered up all courage, which considering the fact you might die wasn't a lot, and confronted them,
"If this a Naruto Shippuden characters prank, guys, just stop," You addressed your friends but none of them wavered. This wasn't planned and it wasn't a joke.
TV characters had transferred to your world.
You turned to the Naruto characters,
"I know this is going to sound really bizarre, but the way we know is you is from a television show called Naruto Shippuden," All of them froze, shock evident on their faces. You waited for it to register...."Me and my friends were just on episode 28, return of the Kazekage when you guys came out of nowhere. This is strange, but we come in peace! And we know all about Naruto, of course, the main protagonist-"
"NARUTOS THE MAIN PROTAGONIST, NO WAY!" Kiba interrupted you, but you glared him down and continued,
"We know all about your lives and" You picked up the remote, "We can prove it."
They were all intrigued but stayed on guard.
You frowned.
"I'm serious, all you guys have is radios that give live readings, right?" They nodded slowly, permitted by Kakashi to do so, "Our dimension is advanced, we can actually show pictures through the same radio transmitter network. I can show you Naruto! Shonen Jump at the click of a button."
Before they could stop you, you clicked the remote and the flat screen began glowing.
They turned their attentions towards the TV, kunai's up but dangling out of their loose grips.
They were awed.
You flicked through the channels and your friends caught a breath seeing the ninjas turned the other way. You went right back to Naruto Episode 1 and put it on, flopping down trying to calm your racing heart.
You watched the intro of Naruto's life, and it felt weird that he was watching it too, but you had to let the thought slide.
(TIME SKIP TO THE END OF THE EP)
Now, all the Naruto characters were sitting huddled in a circle, debating on whether to trust you or not. Every event that had taken place was one that had happened, every word spoken had been said. The series followed their lives so correctly it even surprised them.
They looked between each other, then turned to you and the one who spoke was Kakashi,
"We're deciding to trust you, seeing as Neji took a survey of the surroundings and everything is as you say, no genjustu...."
"Great!" (friend 3) exclaimed.
"....But don't think we'll hesitate to slit your necks if needed." He finished in a creepy vibe, giving a closed eye smile.
Wow, sadist much.
You nodded an turned towards your friends.
"Guys." They all looked to you, "I can't keep them all at my place, my mom and dad are gonna find out, the max we can all keep is one, there's enough of us here."
Some looked like they were going to protest but realised that this is what had to be done.
You turned back to the Naruto! guys, who seemed to realise what direction their journey was going in. They all parted ways, not without a little complaining of course, but the main point is you got it done.
They'd realised that none of the ways they tried transporting home worked, so it wasn't like they had a choice either way.
The Ninjas had summoned basic clothing items from their worlds and your friends had styled them to make them look normal so they wouldn't get stopped by anyone for having a cosplayer with them. You and your friends went your separate ways, and you realised you were left with a Naruto boy too.
Looking back, you saw......
