Disclaimer: I don't own Hunter x Hunter or Naruto. Only this story.

Just to clarify a few things, this story is going to take place in the Naruto world but the actual plot isn't going to play out the same. Additionally, since a lot of feats in Naruto are inconsistent (Sasuke's speed feats), there are abilities that have almost no drawbacks for certain people (Naruto making 1000+ Shadow Clones), and plotholes that could've been easily avoided (Sasuke having the ability to copy jutsu but barely ever using it), I'm going to be making changes to balance things out. So please don't leave reviews saying things like 'oh that's not how that works' or 'that's not what happened in the series!' because this isn't Naruto or HxH, but my story using the characters.

Additionally, for the Hunter x Hunter side of things, the story is mainly going to go by the manga primarily, which isn't that different from the 2011 version. The main difference is that in the manga, Gon met Kite in the first chapter and was inspired to become a hunter by him while 2011 didn't really depict their relationship well, only slightly brushing upon Gon's backstory when Kite was introduced in the Chimera Ant Arc. If you haven't read the HxH manga, I highly recommend it. Even the parts you've already watched in the show. From the very first chapter, the characterizations are much more well done than both anime adaptations, especially for Gon and Killua.

Constructive criticism is welcomed. Enjoy the story!

Departure x and x Arrival

"What will you say to Ging first when you meet him?"

"I'll introduce him to Killua of course! My best friend in the world!" Killua's heart nearly stops.

"C-cut it out!" Killua says. He could never understand how Gon could say those things without getting embarrassed. He was just giving him that clueless look!

Bisky, meanwhile, was crying her eyes out. "You know you're getting old when you start being sentimental," she says. "And to think at first I was going to ruin your friendship!" No surprise there.

"You were?!" Gon says. Killua laughs mentally. Of course the old hag would do something like that. Typical transmuter schemes.

"Yes, well, that's all in the past," Bisky says while wiping at the tears streaming down her face. "Anyway, I'm really going to miss you kids!"

"Then why don't you come with us? I could introduce you to Ging too!" Gon offers. Killua sees Bisky's face sober up in momentary contemplation before she turns her back on them.

"Nah... I'll pass," she says. "I'm not interested in men with kids." Maybe it was because they're both transmuters, but Killua knew the true reason as if he could read her mind.

"If I stay with them any longer, I'll get too attached." Despite this, he understands and respects her decision. Even if he might miss the old hag a lot. She was like the mother he never had after all.

"Oh... okay." Gon looks slightly sad but understanding. Seems he's caught on too. "Well, thank you for everything Bisky! We truly appreciate it!" he says.

"Osu!" Killua says. Bisky turns back, probably to get one last look at them before they go. She smiles softly and nods as if to say 'My pleasure.'

Gon looks at Killua for confirmation that he's ready. Killua nods and Gon raises a card in the air.

"Accompany on! NGIG!" That was when something strange happened. Instead of the normal instant take off that happened when accompany was used, a strange yellow aura shrouded not only Gon and Killua, but Bisky as well.

"What the hell is going on?!" Killua says.

"I don't know! I just used the card like normal!" Gon says. He looks really nervous but also guilty, as if he feels it's somehow his fault.

"How the hell did I get caught in this mess?! Can't you cancel the spell or something?!" Leave it to the old hag to remain calm.

"No there's no way t-" Before Gon could finish his sentence, the auras around them suddenly intensified. They all started floating slowly higher into the air.

"I don't like this! What will happen to my Blue Planette-chan?!"

"Can you be serious for once you old hag?!"

"Guys calm down! We can figure this ou-" At that moment, they all instantly vanished without a trace. They didn't even notice the very familiar figure that witnessed everything that transpired.

It was a very mundane day for Kite. He was casually sitting on a cherry blossom tree stump in front of a lake and fishing. For the past week he's gotten no leads and today was just supposed to be a day to kick back and relax a little. At least, that was the idea. What he didn't see coming was for a large mass of aura to suddenly appear above the lake and for three people to fall into the water. He was instantly on guard with his katana out and his crazy slot ability ready to be activated.

"That mass of energy didn't feel like chakra... it felt like nen." Kite thought as he surveyed the water for any sign of the people that fell in. "Meaning these three could be nen users... most likely from my home world!" He watched as the three people, two young boys and a young girl, slowly emerged from underneath the water and started to argue with each other as they stepped onto land.

"Well MAYBE if you had gotten farther away from us you wouldn't have gotten pulled in hag!" said the white-haired boy. He wore a white V-neck shirt with a blue sweatshirt underneath, black shorts with white lines running down the sides as well as purple and grey sneakers. There were multiple white straps around his arms which connected to a dark red backpack. He had one of the palest skin tones Kite had ever seen, with cool blue eyes that seemed very aware but were currently filled with annoyance directed towards the girl.

"Well aren't you just a disrespectful little brat! I was a good enough distance away from you two and your stupid magic card!" This girl looked like she was dressed up as a princess for Halloween. Between her shining blonde hair and her bright pink eyes, pink dress and pink shoes, Kite was damn near blinded by the sight of her. Overall, she looked non-threatening. However, years of experience told him that she shouldn't be taken lightly because of her appearance.

Once he took a good look at the last boy, Kite's eyes widened in shock. That couldn't be who he thought it was right?

Gon was definitely not the same little boy that he had met and scolded on Whale Island all those years ago. He was now much taller and reached up to about Kite's chest. His spiky black hair was more pronounced, and he wore a white tank top with a mystical-looking necklace along with green shorts and boots. He also had a yellow backpack on with a fishing pole strapped to the side of it. What really caught Kite's attention, though, was the boy's amber eyes which were even more radiant than when he'd first seen them.

Gon sighed. "Damn... now my backpack is soaked!" He turned to look around and spotted Kite before his eyes widened considerably.

"Gon.. is that you?" Kite asked. What a dumb question. He knew that was him. He was the splitting image of his father, especially those eyes.

"Kite?!"

Meanwhile, back in a Greed Island simulation room, Elena was doubting herself for where she sent Gon and his friends. Even if it was brought upon by Ging's request.

"Could you set it so that Gon would fly to me if he used magnetic force but fly to Kite if he uses accompany?"

"That's what he said but... does that rule still apply with where Ging and Kite are now?" Elena hasn't been able to pinpoint Ging's or Kite's exact location for years now. She knew they were still alive and that they were still out there somewhere, but it was in a place far beyond their own world. The only reason it was even within her ability to send them to Kite is because she had a preset nen condition that would only activate if Gon used accompany or magnetic force to "NGIG." It boosts the nen and transports them directly to the target which is much safer than having them fly into an unknown territory and possibly catch unwanted attention from anyone who sees them flying through the sky. She feels bad for sending Gon and his friends there with no clear way back and without even sending them to Ging, but there wasn't much she could do now. All because Ging was shy and a terrible father.

"Ging… I really hope you know what you're doing..."

"A game? Yeah, Ging-san took me in there once. Can't remember what name I used though. Seems like he mislead you."

"Damn it! He got me again!" Gon looked peeved but more at himself than anything. Killua's eyes slid over to Kite and wordlessly acknowledged that this man was very cool looking. He had a tall, lean body that looked toned and had long flowing whitish-blonde hair that put Killua's curls to shame. He wore a large red cap as well as a light purple turtleneck, black pants with a weapon pouch strapped on one leg and finally, dark brown shoes. Despite being relaxed, he could tell that the man was very in tune with his surroundings and ready to move at a moment's notice. He stopped analyzing when Kite made eye contact with him.

"Oh, excuse my rudeness. My name's Kite, as Gon just said. I'm a Pro Hunter and also the student of Ging-san. Or at least, I was until I finished my training."

"My name is Killua." He saw Kite nod and look away from him. He followed his eyes and saw Bisky who was practically drooling and making googly eyes at Kite, clearly making the man uncomfortable. "Oh, that's Biscuit. Don't worry though, she's not a kid like us two are. She's actually an old hag in disguise and our mentor."

Bisky had the decency to stop ogling Kite long enough to be pissed. "Don't go spreading that around you damn brat! I'm 18 at heart!" Killua just smirked.

"I suppose anything is possible with nen but... what type of ability does she have? I'd guess a transmutation ability. Or maybe she just slowed down her aging extremely with Zetsu?" Kite shook his head before smiling. "Nice to meet you Killua and Biscuit-san." He promptly ignored the 'call me Bisky-chama!'

Gon, who had been deep in thought, suddenly stood up in surprise. "Wait! So you've already found Ging and trained under him?!"

Kite gave a slight chuckle in response and nodded. "Quite a while ago. Now, I can call myself a real hunter." He studied Gon's expression for a minute before asking, "Do you want me to tell you where he is?" Dead silence. Killua was sure that if he listened closely enough, he could hear the gears turning in Gon's head.

"...Nah," Gon says. "I'll find him myself."

Kite smiles. "Good answer. Although I don't think you're considering how hard that will be exactly. The situation is even worse than you thought."

"What do you mean?" Gon asks. Killua also looks at Kite in curiosity.

"Well I can't blame you for not noticing. To put things lightly, we're not exactly in familiar territory right now..." Kite says. He looks uneasy, like he has information that he's reluctant to tell them for their own sake. Killua doesn't like it.

"What does that mean? Please tell us Kite-san." Killua has a really bad feeling. One look at Bisky lets him know that she is now serious too and is preparing herself for bad news.

"You can just call me Kite, Killua," He says. "But anyways... I had to do a lot of crazy things to track Ging-san down.. and one of them includes following him here." Kite was being very cryptic and Killua didn't like it.

"And where is here?" Surprisingly, Bisky asked this in a no-nonsense tone of voice. So much for the ogling.

"Well... to be blunt... we, along with Ging-san, are somewhere in a different world right now."

...

"WHAT?!"

Somewhere in the world, a man with rugged clothes and amber eyes sneezed and wiped his nose on his sleeve.

"...Somebody's talkin' bout me... again..." For some reason, he felt like it had to do with Kite and his son. That wasn't a reassuring thought.

"What do you mean by a different world?" Killua asked. "Different world as in an unexplored part of our world? Or just a whole different world or dimension." He had read a lot about this kind of stuff but usually it was just part of a storyline in one of his brother's manga. Now that it's a real possibility, it was very unsettling.

"Both, kind of," Kite said. "The first in the sense that this world can be accessed from an unexplored part of our world, but it is still very much a different world. Dimension? I'm not sure." After seeing the confused looks on the other three's faces, Kite realized they weren't following. "Okay maybe I should explain better."

"Yes... please," Gon said. He looked like his brain was about to overheat.

"Well... would you believe me if I told you that the world we come from is only 10% of the entire world?" Gon looked shocked and made a surprised noise. Killua looked skeptical but intrigued. Bisky just nodded her head meaning that she already knew. "Well, it's true. The rest of the world is off the map and is home to other types of humans and other interesting but dangerous creatures. It's said that magical beasts also came from the outside world. They call it the Dark Continent."

"Wowww… so that's where we are? Ging is somewhere out here?" Gon asked. Killua couldn't help but notice that the boy was once again nervous but excited.

"We're not in the Dark Continent per se... it's more like the Dark Continent was a pathway to get to this world." Kite saw the confused looks again. "Listen. I got here by going through the Dark Continent and tracking Ging-san's whereabouts. I was in a boat flowing along the water when suddenly a large whale swallowed me from below before I even had time to react. The inside of the whale suddenly filled with aura and everything was bright for a moment. Next thing I knew, I ended up here, in the world of the Shinobi."

Shinobi. Killua knew what that was. A Shinobi was a ninja, like that guy Gon fought in the Hunter Exam, Hanzo! Did that mean Hanzo was from here too? Did he ever come back here after passing the exam? Does he know how to switch between worlds? So many questions and possibilities were going through Killua's head that he had to force himself to continue listening to the conversation.

"Shinobi huh? That sounds familiar..." After hearing Gon say that, Killua briefly considered reminding him of Hanzo, but it would be best to bring it up later.

"A Shinobi is a ninja, Gon. They're pretty much like Killua and his family but more low profile and have their own ninja villages and such. There's a lot in our world too!" While listening to Bisky, Kite hears something interesting.

"'Like Killua and his family?' What does that mean?" Kite asked.

"Oh, my full name is Killua Zoldyck." Killua saw Kite's eyes widen a fraction, not in fear, but surprise.

"I can't imagine the Zoldycks would be exactly happy that you've gone missing..." He sighed and Killua had to agree, immediately thinking of Illumi and his mother.

"At least this way I can hopefully be off their radar for a while. I wouldn't put it past them to find a way to make it here though." Killua thought.

"But anyways, yes Biscuit-san you are correct." Kite says, once again ignoring the 'call me Bisky-chama!' "However, ninjas are much more prominent in this world to the point where there are much more here than there are Hunters in our world." That really got Gon's attention. "There are Five Great Nations and each has it's own powerful shinobi village, with at least 10,000 ninja on active duty." Gon 'wowed', Killua whistled, and Bisky just looked surprised. "Ninjas are a real big thing in this world, and a lot of them are just as strong if not stronger than many Hunters."

"Does that mean that Ging has become a Shinobi himself because Hunters don't exist in this world? Or at least has befriended them?" Good question Gon, Kite thought.

"Honestly? I have no idea. He acts in this world very much like how he acts in our world: He just does what he wants. When I was travelling with him, he never stayed in one place too long and didn't bother trying to join any ninja village. But as for what he is now? No clue." Gon looked very contemplative after hearing this. "I myself am affiliated with a village though. I'm a shinobi from Konohagakure. But I have an agreement with the Hokage, the leader of the village, that allows me to move more freely like a hunter."

"So let's see. We're in a completely foreign land with a small group, no allies, big threats all around and limited resources and information. Not to mention the lack of money. Could we travel with you or stay at your village too? Even if it's just temporary to sustain ourselves?" Killua asked. On the inside, he was annoyed because he had tried so hard to run from assassin life and it seemed like he had no other choice but to do something very similar to it. He couldn't see himself doing a civilian job, especially not while he's with Gon.

"I could definitely bring you back to the village and vouch for you to the Hokage. I'm sure that he'll believe you're trust worthy since he already knows about my situation. And if he doesn't? He can just have one of his shinobi scan your memories." Killua didn't know how to feel about that last part. It sounded like a repeat of Pakunoda. "Not sure if he'll let you be ninja though. I was only able to convince the Hokage to become one because I impressed him with my skills. He says that since I didn't have chakra, I had to be very impressive to make up for it. If you're skills aren't up to par... well..."

"Chakra? What's that?" Gon asked. Killua could've sworn he'd heard about some type of spiritual practice with that name.

All heads turned to Bisky when she spoke. "I'm guessing that's the energy that shinobi use for their special abilities?" She looked intrigued. Kite nodded. "I've always found nen interesting and now I'm very interested to learn about this 'chakra'! Is it similar to nen? Is it as complex? Can people develop as creative abilities as they could with nen? What are the limits? Is ther-" Killua had to place a hand over Bisky's mouth to stop her. Kite could only chuckle.

"It's kind of similar to nen. It can be used to amplify and protect the body but it isn't as mentally influenced and interactive as nen is. No custom conditions or contracts. Instead, there are techniques called 'jutsu' that use chakra but can be learned by anybody. Instead of creating a unique power, focus is more on learning 'jutsu' that already exist. A lot of them exist, ranging from transformation jutsu to fire jutsu. But obviously it's completely possible for someone to create their own jutsu. Pretty interesting stuff. I'd say chakra can be more versatile if the user knows a lot of jutsu but nen is more creative by default and has the potential to be more versatile if it's well thought out because it's more interactive." Bisky looked even more intrigued, Killua looked analytical, and Gon for once didn't look ready to burst after a long explanation.

"Is there a limit to how many jutsu one can learn?" Killua asked.

Kite nodded. "Depends on their own potential. The more potential, the more jutsu they can handle. Kind of like nen. This is why a lot of shinobi usually learn jutsu in a specified area to become a specialist like a medic-ninja. I'd still pick nen over it though. Just feels more personal and has more potential."

Gon has had a contemplative look on his face for a while before finally speaking. "So... could we learn chakra too and add it to our nen?"

"Impossible. While the bodies of humans here and from our world aren't that different physically, we have different energy systems entirely. We have micropyles that aura is released from, they have chakra coils and what is known as the chakra network. There is nothing to learn because we just don't have the system for it just like they don't have the system to learn nen." Kite explained. Gon nodded and looked down deep in thought once again. "What is it Gon?" Killua and Bisky also looked at him.

"Well... I was just thinking... I'm sorry Bisky and Killua for getting you guys mixed up in this." Gon's voice sounded so guilty that it threw everyone else for a loop. "I was so caught up with finding Ging that I didn't even think abou-" Gon didn't get to finish because two hands smacked the back of his head. "Ow! What was that for!"

"You have nothing to be sorry about, idiot! You didn't know this was going to happen!" Bisky scolded him.

"But now you're stuck with me here in a dangerous place with people who sound really strong and have all these crazy abilities and-" Another smack.

"So just business as usual, right?" Killua asked with a smirk. Bisky made a sound in agreement and crossed her arms. Gon looked at them with surprise before smiling and nodding. He then stood up and turned to Kite.

"Kite... please take us to your village! At least until we can manage on our own." Kite looked at Gon for a moment before nodding.

"Do you plan on becoming a ninja? Or are you just going to the village to stay there as a citizen?" he asked. Killua and Bisky both looked at Gon for his decision.

"I... don't know," Gon says. "I wanted to be a Hunter because Ging is a Hunter and I wanted to find him... but you said Ging hasn't become a ninja... so should I have to? Do I need to become one to find him? Can you even be a hunter and a ninja at the same time? It doesn't sound right..."

Kite chuckles. "Wow Gon. So offensive." Gon looks at him confused for a moment before it clicks and he looks embarrassed.

"Sorry! I forgot you said you're a hunter and a ninja!" he says. Kite just smiles and waves his hand dismissively. "But even still you're not really a ninja. You said yourself that you and the village leader have an agreement that basically gives you the title but allows you to keep acting as a hunter."

"True. But I am still a certified ninja. I have to follow orders if given. Now granted, I could always go against orders and leave the village but that's hardly the wise thing to do." Killua looked at Kite and a question came to his mind.

"If we impress the Hokage or whatever enough, will we be able to get the same deal as you? Being certified ninja but able to roam around as we please?" he asked.

"Well let's go see, shall we?" Kite said as he started walking. "We're a good distance away but not too far. We should be there in a couple of hours if we run. Think you guys can keep up with me?"

"The real question is... do you think you can keep up with me?" Bisky asked before she turned to look at her students. "Don't disappoint me boys. If you do, I will find shovels and have you digging till you hit bedrock." She promptly turned and walked away while her students blanched at her. "Lead the way pretty boy."

Kite laughs. "This woman is definitely older than she looks... maybe around my age," he thought. "This way," he said before sprinting off. Bisky easily kept pace with him and the boys were a little ways behind them. He studied Killua in his peripheral for a moment. "I can tell that this boy is a very loyal friend. He doesn't seem too keen on becoming a ninja, and I can only guess why, but it seems he's doing it to stick with Gon." He then studied Gon. "Gon… I understand your dilemma. I faced a similar one. Constantly asking myself questions like 'What does it mean to be a hunter?' 'What does it mean to be a ninja?' 'Will being a ninja contradict me being a hunter?' 'Will Ging be disappointed if I become a ninja?' I get it. But you need to learn to make your own decisions without Ging-san's influence. Find the answers you seek and then come up with your own answer." He focuses back on the pathway in front of him.

"Your admiration and desire to please Ging-san... they're shackles to you."
