Schizophrenia

Prologue

Schizophrenia: A situation or condition that results from the coexistence of disparate or antagonistic qualities, identities, or activities

Sasuke was nervous.

Dreadfully, unspeakably, dejectedly nervous.

"Tch, boy. You look like you're about to pass out. Can I get a little trust here?" Tsunade mumbled through tightly knit lips. Her brow was furrowed in concentration. "This is the last ingredient, so I need to get this just right...so bring forth a more trustworthy atmosphere, your nerves are wracking my nerves."

Sasuke tried to fake a confident smirk, but his sweaty, shaky palms gave him away. The silver liquid in the dropper was placed right above the narrow test tube.

This is it, Sasuke thought, I'm officially betraying Naruto's trust because of my insecurities. Kami...

The silver liquid fell from the dropper when Tsunade's gloved hands pressed the black cushion at the top.

Sasuke watched it all in slow motion as the lucid ball descended down to the clear liquid. The plop! seemed just as noisy as Sasuke's racing heart.

A smoke cloud emitted from the beaker, and Tsunade sighed, seemingly pleased.

Sasuke, however, was still unnerved.

"It worked." The Godaime removed her gloves and tossed them in a near bin with practiced ease. "Go get the gaki." She shooed the Uchiha away but Sasuke did not move.

"I'm-I'm not so sure about this anymore. What if what I hear isn't what I want to hear? The chance is too great. He never showed any indication that he cared for me...that way, before..."

Tsunade rolled her eyes as she placed the vital liquid into a cup of instant ramen with careful, concentrated drops from a new, clean dropper

"Uh...duh?" She rolled her eyes and suspected the rumors of the last Sharingan-user's genius must have only been rumors. "That's why we're doing the jutsu on him. To see how he feels. He won't remember any of it anyway, so I don't see what the big deal is. Go bring the idiot!"

"But Tsunade! I--"

She walked up to the Uchiha, lifted him up by his trademark high-collared shirt, and growled, "Listen, boy. You begged me for a week to create that jutsu, you forced me to send out our top Jounin to retrieve the ingredients from Lightning, and I spent sixty-seven hours creating that potion. So get the fuck out of my office and get the blond idiot!!!"

Sasuke was out of the door before the powerful female could blink.

At first, Sasuke thought there was no way any ninja, hell - any person! - could easily accept food from another with such a mischievous smirk and radiative wicked intent.

Yet, Naruto was never normal, and after all, "It's ramen, Teme!"

The last of the broth was gone with a final slurp and the blond seemed pleased and at ease, yet undeniably anxious.

"Mmmm...Tsunade-baba, that ramen was better than the usual kind. Is it a different flavor?" He examined the styrofoam cup yet Tsunade's impish smile and Sasuke's jitteriness never faded. "No, it's normal chicken. Did you buy it from a different market? No. I buy all my ramen from all of Konoha's markets. Kami, it was soooo good! Wait!" Realization dawned upon the bright ninja's butter-colored head. He gasped.

"You! You two put something in my ram--"

Naruto passed out.

"Kami! Was that supposed to happen?!" Sasuke cried as he rushed to the unconscious boy's side.

"Don't touch him!" Tsunade stood up, her hand put out in front of her in a signal to cease. Sasuke froze and then stepped back.

The two watched the blond for a good five minutes.

"Nothing's happening." Tsunade muttered.

"No shit?" Sasuke muttered, yet his worry was unmasked.

Tsunade ignored the rudeness, her entire being focused on the slumbering child.

"He should've woken up by now. I don't know what went wro– Shit! Did you see that?!" Tsunade screeched, thoroughly disturbed. This never happened before!

"What!" Sasuke spun in a frantic circle. "See what? What I miss?"

A luminescent blur that reflected the light pouring in from the windows with majestic colors, shimmered next to Naruto.

"Wow..." Sasuke mumbled, viewing the anomaly. "Should we move the dobe, now?"

"No..." Tsunade whispered. "He seems undisturbed. Just leave him as he is. We're going to observe this oddity and try to make a guess as to wha--" the busty blond was halted as five chronological 'poof!'s echoed throughout the room, leaving much smoke in its wake.

When the fumes and fog finally cleared, a very conscious, but very different Naruto was sitting up, staring at his rival and his village leader with blank, glacial eyes.

Behind him were five more Naruto's, that could in no way, be confused with Kage Bunshins.

Pink.

Red.

Orange.

Purple.

White.

"What. The. Fuck?"

//author notes;; Wow...where did this idea come from...? Oh yeah! That episode of "Fairly Odd Parents" where Timmy wished all his emotions away and all the feelings were all personified by cute little shapes and iconic symbols. Adorable.
