Uzumaki Naruto could handle the gigantic monster in his head just fine (and really, the fact that a part of him is some large nine-tailed fox that seemed to hate the world and everything else, especially the Uchiha, spoke so much of his sanity or lack of it). The beast-fox-demon-innerself-or-whatever-it-they-were-to-him growled at him loudly and terrifyingly that he actually feared them more than the other inhabitants in his mind, but that was ages ago. He got weeks to figure out that the beast was just a giant softie compared to other freeloaders, or should it be mindloaders?

It really said something about his character that the young boy (who would be called Naru to avoid confusion with other persona) felt safer to the biju sealed in him than his actual counterparts and reincarnations from other universe, who decided to spend time in his mindscape out of whim.

Ramen

"Remember to eat at least ten cups of ramen this morning," a red-haired Naruto advised like a wiseman with a fox-like grin. His violet eyes sparkled with restrained childish glee but his posture was that of an adult despite his obvious young age.

The actual Naruto, who owned the mind they were in, backed away from the unusually determined push of his usually serious counterpart. He liked eating ramens as much as the other Narutos, but it didn't mean that he could eat more than five cups in just sitting. What's scarier was the fact that this red-head actually could do it everyday.

The young blond glanced at his surroundings in an attempt to ignore the other boy, only to find a peculiar scene from the other inhabitants in his mind.

The slightly crazy Naruto from a slightly bizarre world that had many weird religion pushed many cups of noodles to a rather overwhelmed Sawada Tsunayoshi, who was his reincarnation from a world that had flames and mafia.

"How could you not be a fond of ramen when you're me—" that Naruto with his high worship to the ramen and his rather unofficial religion of promoting the holiness and godness of ramen proclaimed dramatically while the brunet looked ready to run for it.

"—reincarnated, not necessarily you!"

Naru found a kindred soul, but this guy seemed to be doing far worse than him.

Names

"Since you guys seem to be staying here, what should I call you all?" the youngest among everyone of all the people in the plane asked the most legitimate question yet. "I mean, it's confusing since you're all Naruto, too so what should we call each other? I call dibs on Naru!"

"My name isn't really the same so just call me Tsuna," one of the reincarnated children suggested and the other reincarnated children followed his lead at being called by their real name. Easy enough there.

The serious red-haired Naruto smiled gently, "Namikaze is enough for me," while a wider blond Naruto grinned energetically, "I'm Uzumaki, dattebayo!"

Confusing but could work. What the six-year-old boy wanted to know was where Namikaze came from. He would be asking Jiji the next time they meet when he woke up.

"Naruko!" a female version growled out among all the others and nearly knocked Naru out. The boy nervously backed away from the catfight in front of him and glanced at the uninterested beast behind the bars.

"What about you? What should I call you?"

For their part, Kurama couldn't decide who was more stupid. The young boy that never figured out that they were not in fact part of him and were actually the real Kyuubi that attacked his village or the other counterparts that never said anything about that fact.

Never Alone

As much as Naru complained about the voices in head, they made the best company in the dark and he would never give up the chance to talk with them.

It helped that some of the persona trained him and taught him awesome jutsu.

(He never wanted to go back to the days when he never had visitors in his head and he only heard silence. It was lonely, so very lonely.)

A/N: Naru is technically just six years old so the fact that he's okay with hearing voices in his head and even interacts with them says so much about his sanity. Well, compared to the other characters, he's still very much saner. Until next update then...
