NARUTO: DEAD PLANET DEAD PLANET

[haruno]

It was used for bowling by a bored (giant) alien.

Approaching Konoha's projected location, a solar system of several planets is observed. Moving past the fourth, there's a break in line before the empty place where Konoha should be orbiting is observed.

Tracing the world to where it ended up at the end of its use in a giant alien bowling game takes our travelers along the pathway to another world. Dead planet dead planet is located along the way.

The first thing she noticed was the lack of anything. The number of planets made sense, if she'd never planned to see them like this. The moon was gone -- gravitating closer to the sun, she supposed, if she hadn't been able to place it.

At least there was nothing for Madara to work his plan on left.

She closed her eyes, making herself breathe. Maybe this wasn't the right place. Maybe...

One of the sensors she'd put on distance beeped and whirred, reading out information. An object of the mass she expected, located at some distance from this system.

"This is Sakura speaking," she announced over the intercomm system. "We're moving out of Solar System k-14H1M0T0. There's a small planetoid we'll be moving by before moving out to the CAU-DAY sector. I'll warn before we hit significant travel speeds."

Kakashi idly looked down at his guide and set the star map to default. When he held it up he blinked, reset his parameters, and walked it outside of the kitchen

"Kakashi-sensei," she said, almost started. Almost, because she was still too distracted. Her eyes wandered down to what he'd brought, and she summoned up a smile. "Thank you."

She doesn't move toward it right away, Guy currently out of the area. Looking out the front window display (so useless, really, you didn't navigate by this kind of sight), she gestured off to the right. "We're coming up on the object of equivalent mass soon."

Sakura has too much not to say. She falls quiet again, thinking.

"They didn't throw it too far," he said, and thought... but far enough. It's funny that he spent so long out here in space that it seemed like such a short distance.

He became quiet, also thinking. He sat down in Guy's seat and looked forward, placing his guide on the dashboard before him. "How long?"

[haruno]

"Fifteen minutes before we're in orbit range. The gravity won't be quite the same. What's weird is the planet stopped at all. Something must have been set up... the impact has to be insane."

[plznospoilers]

"Probably the pins," he replies. "Which means we might be seeing craters." That punches in his gut quite a bit; he's not possessive but hearing about the planet that way...
