Please note: This is a series of ficlets. The chapter name will tell you which story the ficlet belongs to.
Konoha, 12:59 in the afternoon, Tuesday, market place.
From four directions, four figures approach.
From the north came a black haired and eyed youth in tight black pants, a white tank top, and an arm band known as Sasuke Uchiha carrying a suitcase.
From the south came a white haired man with one eye covered by an eye patch, a flamboyantly colorful outfit of patchwork pants and a light, floaty, silk red shirt known to many as Sharigan Kakashi carrying a treasure chest.
From the west a pink haired girl in a black body suit known to a few as Sakura Haruno came carrying a violin case.
From the east came a sunny blond haired kid wearing a bright orange spandex suit with green lightning bolts that lead to an eye at his right ankle and an eight ball on his left known mostly as that brat, but is named Naruto Uzumaki, carrying a small box wrapped in brown paper and tied closed with twine, a light ticking coming from the box.
All things considering, it was a very odd lot, with Naruto looking incredibly stupid in his outfit, meeting up in the middle of the market place.
At precisely 1:00 PM, Naruto asked, in a rather bland tone of voice, "Is this the real life?"
Sakura followed that up with, "Is this just fantasy?"
"Caught in a landslide," Kakashi said.
"No escape from reality," Sasuke said with less emotion than normal. "Open your eyes."
"Look up to the sky and see I am just a poor boy, I need no sympathy, because I am easy come, easy go."
"Anyway the wind blows."
"Little high. Little low."
"Anyway the wind blows doesn't really matter to me. To me."
"Mama, just killed a man. Put a gun against his head. Pulled my trigger, now he's dead."
"Mama, life had just begun, but now I've gone and thrown it all away."
"Mama, oh oh oh, didn't mean to make you cry."
"If I'm not back again this time tomorrow, carry on. Carry on as if nothing really matters."
With Sasuke's third line, he traded his suitcase with Naruto while Sakura and Kakashi traded then Naruto and Sakura traded their packages. After a look to the others, the foursome nodded, turned around and left.
Up above the street level where many a citizen was confused about what just happened, an Anbu pulled out a notebook and began to quickly write down what he had heard before going to report in on the odd occurrence.
Nearby, another Anbu began to follow one of the figures, only to lose his mark after a turn down an alleyway. The Anbu missed the smoke left behind.
