He’d think of it as a nightmare, but normally you’d regard a nightmare as something scarier than a boring gray desert. Shikamaru had been walking through the endless expanse for an hour or so, it may have been longer but at this point he didn’t care anymore and just walking was no longer looking like it was going to help. He did have a second idea though, and that was going back to sleep right where he stood, why not, after all, he had woken up in this place so maybe going back to sleep was all that it would take to get out.
Yet, the Nara doubted that it would be that easy.
And as time continued to pass him by, he was beginning to doubt more and more that this was a dream. While he didn’t doubt that he could dream up a place that was so gray and dull, the issue was that it felt too real to be a dream as the sand gritted and shifted beneath his feet. That left one other potential theory… genjutsu. But the last memory he had was of being at home, asleep. It didn’t make any sense. |

THINGS |
[/color][/font] got a bit too real for Naruto's taste, but it was an adventure all the same. Even so, there was an air of mystery around the entire situation, almost as if there were some unknown force at work. But as far as this idiot blonde went, he still believed himself to be dreaming and that this was apart of some strange nightmare that his subconscious decided to dream up for him. The only thing that made him wonder was the fact that this place seemed so real, yet so unreal all the same. Finally standing up to get his bearings, he would look left and then right, staring into the void that seemed to be endless in each direction. "Whoa, this is a crazy dream." Well, he couldn't stay in this dreary desert forever so he might as well tried to get somewhere before night fell or worse, before he got hungry. Trudging through the landscape yielded none of the results he had been hoping for, his walking now slowing to a crawl. "Ugh! So...hungry...I wish I had some ramen! KAKASHI-SENSEI! TREAT ME TO SOME RAMEN PLEASE!"Collapsing face-down in the sand, the boy finally gave up on finding some kind of safe haven or just anywhere he could go that wasn't this desert. Believing that this was the end, his blue eyes would blink as they looked up and caught sight of a pineapple bobbing up and down in the distance. Or rather what he understood to be a pineapple. Mouth salivating, the blonde quickly gathered himself off the ground and found his body running at a high rate of speed. Forming a single handseal, three copies of the boy would join the original before all four launched themselves in the air at the 'pineapple.'Yes, he would be full! He would have food in this endless sand world! Arms held outward in an attempt pin the pineapple down, it wouldn't be until he was directly above it that he would finally realize that it was no pineapple at all. "S-Shikamaru???" Too bad there was too much momentum to stop himself. Though, the clones were smart enough to disperse before colliding. As for the original, gravity would take him wherever it liked.

…Yellow… Orange…
How the heck were there four Narutos?! Last he remembered, the kid couldn’t even make one decent clone, and yet here he was, getting pounced on by four class clowns. There wasn’t any time to react, the knucklehead was already on top of him before Shikamaru could even flinch. The other three had disappeared so the last remaining Naruto was the only one to collide into him as they crashed down onto the sand below.
With Naruto sitting on his chest, Shikamaru kept his eyes closed and made little effort to stand back up, all that weight pressing down against his ribs was annoying enough without him trying to shove Naruto off to roll down the dune. He thought about what he could do to avoid this situation, how about if he pretended to be unconscious... the kid was dumb enough to believe that his attack could have knocked Shikamaru out. Then again, Naruto would probably just shake the life out of him until he 'woke up' so never mind that thought.
Shikamaru's arms lay limp at his sides, aiming a lazy glare up at the Uzumaki. “What are you doing, Naruto?" |

[/color][/font] then the two males collided, ended up with Naruto sitting on Shikamaru's midsection all the while his neck would be craned downward in an awkward angle. Of course, before he had made his rough landing he closed his eyes to brace for the impact. Opening his eyes once more, the blond would realized just how close their faces were to each other. Actually, there wasn't any room between them as their lips had been touching. Oh no! Not again thought the blond as those blue orbs widened as he quickly pulled away. Oh god, was Shikamaru even conscious anymore? Not like it mattered, wasn't this a dream anyway? The blond spit twice out in the opposite direction as he sat up, legs on either side of the pineapple-headed genin as he continued to sit on the lumpy mass of flesh that was his friend. Eventually, Shikamaru would 'come to', glaring up at the idiot ninja. Ah, it looked like he could be in deep trouble. A nervous feeling filled the pits of his stomach, as a bead of sweat dripped down the side of his face. "I totally thought you were a pineapple!" Naruto would go to say, stopping when he realized just how dumb that sounded, not like he wasn't used to saying dumb shit. "But what are you doing in my dream? And why am I dreaming about such a creepy place like this?" He would draw attention away from the accident and more toward the situation. This was honestly a weird dream!

Better not to think about it. Better to pretend as though he’d been out of it when it happened. Still, it didn’t help that Naruto’s ‘kiss’ was giving him the urge to puke.
“A pineapple? No, I’m just the guy who doesn’t wanna be here,” wherever ‘here’ was. He sighed, wishing for the ability to breathe better were there not a guy crushing his lungs. “And would you mind getting off of me?” That shouldn’t have been too much to ask, considering all that Naruto had already put him through in the past few seconds.
He wasn’t surprised that the blonde had the idea he was dreaming, considering it had been his first thought as well. However, it seemed even less likely now than it had earlier. “More like a nightmare,” he mumbled, the presence of the one guy who was such a pain made it more closely resemble a nightmare than a dream of course. “But I don’t think that’s right either… We’re not dreaming,” he stated with a sense of certainty to his tone. “Have you ever been under a genjutsu before?” |

[/color][/font] male knew he know overstayed his welcome on his makeshift chair and promptly got off of Shikamaru. Now standing up, the blonde looked around the landscape once more whilst the black haired youth would speak. There was something odd about the situation, he couldn't put his thumb on it at all. Where were they and how did they get here? Was this some kind of attack on the village? The idea of that latter thought both scared him and angered him greatly. They had to get to the bottom of this and quickly. "Huh? Genjutsu? No." The boy would place his index finger up his chin while he looked upward at the sky as he became absorbed in his thoughts. "But I'm sure if this was one, we woulda noticed already." Naruto would deduce, thinking himself to be smart enough to tell the difference between reality and an illusion despite never having been under the influence of genjutsu before. "This smells fishy, huh?" He now crossed his arms, staring directly at his comrade. [/div][/td][/tr][/table] template by synchronicity [/center] |

He wished that he didn’t have to be the one trying to determine what exactly was going on, but it didn’t look as though he had much choice considering… well, considering that if he had to choose between Naruto or himself he just felt a lot better following his own lead than that kid’s. He looked around some more, sure the terrain looked and felt real enough, but there was no location like this close enough to Konoha where they could have been brought to in such a short time. Yes, brought, because he sure as hell hadn't walked here. Might as well attempt to rule out the fact that it’s a genjutsu. Shikamaru formed a sign with his hands, ignoring Naruto’s comment. “Kai [Release]”. Opening his eyes proved that nothing had changed, which meant that either this wasn’t a genjutsu or that it was a stronger one than Shikamaru could dispel in that way. He could stab himself with a kunai and see if that would break it, but hell, if someone was really going through so much trouble to keep him under then he wouldn't want to ruin that for them. “This doesn’t make any sense…” he groaned. “I should be in bed asleep right now,” this situation, whatever it was, didn’t even have the decency of being interesting. It was just the two of them and a whole lot of sand… It wasn’t a dream, nor was it likely a genjutsu… but it wasn’t the ‘real’ world either. So, then, what was it? In seemingly giving up, he fell back down into the sand, lying down on his back as he had been earlier. Kai [Release]
Kai is a technique that is often used to dispel Genjutsu. However, different people can dispel different level of Genjutsu. It depends on their level of understanding genjutsu and chakra control. It goes as follows:
Genin
Primary- B rank Kai- A rank pain
Secondary- C Rank Kai- B Rank pain
Weakest- D Rank Kai- C Rank pain

IF I COULD FALL INTO THE SKY DO YOU THINK TIME WOULD PASS US BY? “Byakugan!”The Hyuuga girl called for the third time today. She was tired of walking for two hours. She was left there defenseless in an endless and colorless desert. The sand that rose thanks to the occasional wind wave was clouding her vision, but it wouldn't last much as the girl's eyes started to change. Her once almost invisible pupil became much more apparent. Veins bulged around her eyes as she felt chakra pumping towards her eyes. The (almost non-existent) colors started to blur and disappear leaving the girl seeing a black and white world. She frowned as she saw a trail of chakra running through the sand. She zoomed in the distance. Her vision traveled 20 meters to the front, looking through a big dune that was covering her sight. Her eyes widened as she finally saw something different than the desert. There were two figures and one was lying down, relaxing in the sand. Her vision cleared and she saw the figures of Naruto and Shikamaru, she didn't check their chakra pathway obviously it was not needed at the moment. She had to tell them that this was probably not a simple genjutsu as her Byakugan, as inexperienced at it was,could see through simple and not-that-complicated Genjutsu, if she was right this had to be a really big genjutsu or a real place, probably the first as there was chakra in the sand. The weirdest thing was that she had different clothing that the one she was using to go to sleep. She was wearing her normal attire, the cream-colored jacket and her blue pants. As she sprinted and finally reached her destination she ran to the two guys and feel on her knees she was really tired. “N-Naruto-kun! Shikamaru-kun! “ Said the exhausted girl “This is not a normal genjutsu! I would have been able to see through it With m-my Byakugan…I-It has to be a really complex genjutsu or …” she said, her Byakugan now slowly deactivating. “...T-There's chakra running through this sand... The desert has chakra in it...”
Byakugan
A doujutsu which helps the user to be able to use the Gentle Fist. The Byakugan, Devil eye or White eye can see through solid objects working as an X-ray. It can also be used in something that can be viewed as a bubble-vision form to see in a nearly complete 360° degree except for a point in the back of their heads. The Byakugan has a tunnel view who works to look at great distances easily.
Hinata's range (at the moment) is 2km and she has an average control of the Byakugan. She is better at using her Byakugan for spying than for combat. Just as expected for someone her age, she can’t pin-point the location of the Tenketsu or Chakra Points, but she can perfectly see the Chakra Pathway System

[/color][/font] seemed Shikamaru wasn't really quite listening to him as he went about doing things his way for a moment. The handseal he had placed his hands in seemed familiar enough, but he forgot what it did and what it was. Blinking in anticipation, the blonde watched as absolutely nothing happened. With the lack of results, Naruto believed that whatever that release jutsu was had to be weak. Maybe he was glad he wasn't all that knowledgeable. "And I should be eating ramen at my house." The boy would say, letting it be a known fact that he had become famished. With no warning, a figure began to approach them. "Hm? Is that...It is! It's Hinata!" The blue eyed ninja would say excitedly as he squinted to make out the girl's lithe form in the colorless desert. Listening to Hinata, the blonde would face Shikamaru with a playful smirk. "See!? I may not be the best, but even I could figure out this wasn't a genjutsu. You should listen to me more often Shikamaru. Hahaha!" The boy would let laughter bellow out from his chest with that last little statement though his laughter would soon die as he became quiet and his eyes widened a bit. "Wait. So we teleported?" That was the only explanation for any of this. If this was real, then it was obvious that they were no longer in Konohagakure. [/div][/td][/tr][/table] template by synchronicity [/center] |

The Hyuuga girl, Hinata, showing up as a new arrival to their… whatever, was just a change enough to get Shikamaru to sit up in the sand, allegedly lacking in energy otherwise as his gaze carried slowly from Naruto over to Hinata who had just dropped down into the sand beside him.
The Nara heard the girl’s observations, about it possibly being a complex genjutsu which he had already gathered might be the case. And about the sand having chakra running through it… a detail which would have gone right over their heads had it not been for the Byakugan.
--Nope, nope, nope, it didn’t matter. Shikamaru didn’t want to waste his time trying to figure out what any of this meant, he refused to allow himself to get distracted by weird happenings that didn’t make sense. If he let himself get too involved in what was going on, then that was exactly what was going to happen, and he just didn't want to deal with it. It was all so... so... troublesome.
“Teleported, Naruto? You’ve got to be kidding me…” He closed his eyes again, as if it caused some big strain on him merely to keep them open. Lifting his hand, he gestured as he spoke, waving his hand through the space in front of him if only slightly, “In that case I guess I can just sit here until I get teleported back to my bed,” the preteen remarked sarcastically, yet, judging by his lack of any further actions, it would almost appear as though that’s what he was hoping for.

IF I COULD FALL INTO THE SKY DO YOU THINK TIME WOULD PASS US BY? “ I-I don’t …really think we teleported Naruto-kun.”
Hinata said looking as Shikamaru simply sat there mocking Naruto for his conclusion about teleportation. The Hyūga girl stood once again, cleaning the sand from her pants and looking around. There was no where they could go; everything was the same, just colorless sand. The Hyūga girl sighted and looked back at the blond Uzumaki.
“ A-Ano, …Usually in cases w-were people get lost they stay where they are to be found by others…” She said as she started to join her index fingers together. Now she looked up at both guys. “B-But…In this case I don’t think we will last much without water or food…” She concluded looking around; she knew Shikamaru could do good strategies. She had gathered that information at the academy even when he hardly decided to show it.
She knew that using her Byakugan just know was just a waste of time and chakra, she had just used it to find them and there was probably nothing more nearby. She simply looked at Naruto, he never gave up, did he? He would probably make Shikamaru move and try to help…maybe?
The girl just turned to look at the distance. She didn’t exactly miss her home, but she didn’t want to be trapped in a desert with no water or food and be left to die there. |

THIS |
[/color][/font] was probably the biggest load of bull he has encountered yet as a shinobi. The blond had become annoyed at the fact that he hadn't been able to figure out anything about this situation yet. Not only that, but every time he tried to draw a conclusion or just put an idea up in the air the pair he was with would simply shut it down before they truly analyze his deductions. He would almost like to say they weren't even taking him seriously as they skipped over what he was saying altogether. "Well that's the only thing that makes sense. Do either of you have better ideas? I don't think so, otherwise you would have said it." He would cross his arms, annoyed with the entire situation at hand. As if on cue, he began to get agitated, as if only something was stirring deep within him. "I mean, if we were all in different places before this and now we're all here, that could only mean we teleported!" The boy's stomach growled angrily, mad at the youth for not treating it like it deserved. It needed food and water, so really Hinata had the right idea. "We need to find food though! I'm starving Hinata! Find some ramen with those eyes." [/div][/td][/tr][/table] template by synchronicity [/center] |
