"Huh?"

Naruto looked around at the room he found himself in. This... wasn't his apartment. It kind of looked like a rec room. Three comfortable-looking couches, some nice armchairs, ottomans, beanbags, coffee tables, microwaves, food and drinks on some tables off to the side, and a really big TV screen on the wall. On the other end of the room were some tables, a dart board, and what looked like some big gaming systems. The dark red carpet beneath his feet was soft and fluffy.

Naruto turned to head back out the door, only to see a blank white wall where the balcony should've been.

Alright, let's see what's in here, he thought. The tables were all different; one had a fuzzy green surface with different colored balls in a triangle and sticks leaning against it, and another had a bunch of little wooden people lined up on metal bars. He figured he was right about the other things being gaming systems; they all had buttons and bright pictures on them. There were two doors off to the side. A quick inspection revealed a bathroom behind each one. Naruto walked back to the main room.

His door was gone.

Immediately, he clapped his hands together and pulsed as much chakra as he could. Not only did the scene not change, nothing in the room even budged! He tested everything in the room. It felt real. If this was a genjutsu, it was one hell of a good one.

There is no genjutsu to break, Kurama said in his mind. I've been flooding your system with my chakra, and nothing is changing. Most likely, there was a seal in your doorway that brought you here.

That isn't good, Naruto answered.

The sound of a door opening behind him had him turning around.

"Sasuke!"

Sasuke took one look at Naruto and the room and activated his Sharingan.

"It's not a genjutsu, Sasuke. Kurama and I can't sense anything."

"Hn." Sasuke held out his hand. "Transfer your chakra into me."

"It's not gonna work," Naruto muttered, but grabbed Sasuke's wrist anyways and poured his chakra into him. After a few seconds, they let go. "See?"

"Where are we?"

Naruto shrugged. "No idea. I got here a few minutes before you did."

Before Sasuke could reply, two more doors opened, one right after the other. They turned to see Kiba, Akamaru, and Tenten looking around in confusion.

"What the hell?"

"We don't know," Naruto said. "But it isn't a genjutsu."

Two more doors opened at almost the exact same time. The shinobi turned to see four people walk through each one, six girls and two boys. The three groups stared at each other for a few short seconds.

"Greetings, shinobi of Konoha and defenders of Vale."

Everyone jumped and spun around to face the… TV screen? Naruto almost thought it was off, but there were white words across the screen that matched what had just been said. Just when Naruto realized that the writing didn't look like anything he'd ever seen before, they were replaced by another line that was read aloud.

"The twelve of you have been selected to look into an alternate universe, a universe that was created when your universes collided into each other.

"This new universe has properties of both of your universes, although it obeys the laws of the universe of Remnant with some influence from the universe of the shinobi nations."

Naruto's brain finally caught up to what it had just heard. "Wait, our universes collided? Shouldn't we have felt something?" That sounded dangerous.

"The universes are always moving and always colliding. When they do, a new universe is formed. The usual result is a parallel universe where one or more people from the first universe are thrown into the second, but sometimes an entirely new universe is created, such as this one.

"To date, the universe of the shinobi nations has had thirty-one thousand and eight hundred sixty-four recorded collisions with other universes, six hundred and eighty-seven of which were with the universe of Remnant. This meeting makes six hundred and eighty-eight.

"You will find that all language barriers have been dealt with, so please introduce yourselves and use any of the remotes to start the viewing. Feel free to have food and drinks. You will be returned to the exact moment you entered once you are done."

Naruto stuttered for a moment. "Do we get a choice in this?!"

"No.

"Enjoy."

The screen went black.

Everyone stared at each other for several moments. Eventually the blond girl waved cheerfully. "So hey! I'm Yang, Yang Xiao Long, on team RWBY. This is my little sister and team leader, Ruby!"

"Um… yeah… hi." Ruby was clearly uncomfortable with being thrust into the spotlight so suddenly. "I'm Ruby Rose. I lead team- uh- RWBY."

"You have your own team? That's impressive," Tenten complimented her.

Ruby rubbed the back of her head awkwardly. "Uh… thanks."

"Well, I'm Naruto Uzumaki. Euh! That sounded weird!" Naruto made a face as his name came out backwards.

"If you don't mind my asking, what sounded weird? I'm Pyrrha Nikos, by the way," the tall girl with red hair said.

"Saying my name like that," Naruto answered. "It was supposed to be family name first, given name second, but it just came out backwards."

"Kiba Inuzuka. Ugh, you're right, that is weird. This is Akamaru. He's my best friend." Kiba waved his hand at the giant dog by his side, who took the introduction as an invitation to approach the other side and start sniffing them. Naruto idly noted the way the black-haired girl's eyes widened before she screamed and jumped up to the ceiling and grabbed onto one of the lights.

"What the hell is that?!"

"He's Akamaru, I just said!"

*Bark!*

"Get it away from me!"

Akamaru was indeed sitting right underneath her, enjoying all the petting he was getting from Ruby, Yang, and a girl with awesome orange hair.

"What's your problem with Akamaru?!"

"I don't like dogs!"

While Kiba busied himself with arguing with the girl clinging to the ceiling, Tenten took it upon herself to continue the introductions. "So, I'm Tenten Tamura. Nice to meet you."

A boy with a pink streak in his black hair spoke up. "Lie Ren. Just call me Ren." He pointed at the girl with orange hair, who was still petting Akamaru. "That's Nora Valkyrie."

She waved at them energetically. "Hi!"

"Uh… hi, I'm Jaune Arc." A blond boy with blue eyes stepped forward and nervously extended his hand.

Naruto gave it a firm shake and almost pulled Jaune off his feet. "Woah, sorry."

"Ah, it's fine." Jaune rubbed his shoulder and grimaced. "Yeah, don't worry about it."

He was cut off by a short girl that made his eyes hurt. Seriously, too much white. "My name is Weiss Schnee. It's a pleasure to meet you," she said with a high-brow nod.

"Yeah, you too." Naruto turned to Sasuke. "Well?" he prompted when Sasuke just stared at him. "I'm not gonna introduce you."

Sasuke stared for another second or two before moving his eyes to the new people in front of them. "Sasuke Uchiha."

By this point, Yang had stopped petting Akamaru and joined their little group. "Nice to meetcha, handsome!" She smiled and winked.

Sasuke just stared some more, and Naruto felt the need to say something about it. "Sasuke, stop staring. It's creepy." Sasuke gave him an unamused look- so it was his normal face, really- and just sat on one of the armchairs.

"Don't mind him," Naruto said to the colorful teens in front of him. "He's never been any fun."

Yang crossed her arms and nodded. "Right, I get it. Blake isn't any fun either." She jerked a thumb at the girl on the ceiling. "That's her. Blake Belladonna. She's my partner." Naruto waved at her; she didn't notice. "So, about this whole different dimension thing… I'm not sure I believe it."

"Neither am I," Weiss said. "It sounds like something out of a bad movie."

Naruto blinked at her almost-challenging tone before shrugging. "Nah, trust me, different dimensions exist. Or different universes, whatever. I've seen them."

Weiss blinked, her eyes wide. "You have?"

"Yeah, they weren't really much, just big worlds of ice or lava, but if they exist in the first place, I guess it isn't too much of a stretch to say that others exist, too." He shrugged. "So, are we gonna see this one or not?"

Everyone made general noises of consent, and they moved to take their seats. Naruto took the armchair next to Sasuke- it was a recliner- Tenten took one of the armchairs with an ottoman in front of it, Kiba and Akamaru took up one of the couches by themselves, Nora dragged Ren and two beanbags between that couch and the one Jaune and Pyrrha were using, and team RWBY all sat on the last couch. Blake put as much distance between her and Akamaru as possible.

Naruto grabbed the closest remote and looked around. "Everyone ready?"

Ruby and Nora quickly grabbed some snacks and rushed back.

"Alright. Here we go." He hit play, and the lights dimmed as three words faded onto the screen.

Hunting or Bust

A/N: Alright, here's my first story. Can't really believe I actually did it. Goddamn, writing is hard.

Sorry if the writing is amateurish. It's never been my strong suit.

Next chapter will probably be up in an hour or two.
