Summary: Sasuke can't stand it anymore. He tries his best to ignore the fangirls and weaklings who tries to drag him down. Why can't they understand he has no wish to waste his time like them?! Already in a bad mood without adding another bout of unprovoked name-calling by Naruto, Sasuke finally lets his class understand what he REALLY thinks of them.

Time. It is an infinite thing. With even the smallest of changes, everything can change.
What would have happened if Newton decided not to sit under an apple tree and instead sprawled out on the grass? What would have happened if Alexander Fleming had been more careful when doing his laboratory experiments? What would have happened if James Watt's friend choose not to tell him about his theory of using steam as a source of power?
Everything could have changed, wouldn't it?
But the fact is these things DID NOT happen. In our timeline, Newton did sit under an apple tree, Fleming did accidently contaminated his experiments, and Watt realised steam was a viable source of power. All these events, and others, added up to the currently world we are living in.
But that's not the main focus of this story. I'm pretty sure you already know of these events, and probably better informed then me.
What this story is REALLY about is if a simple little thing changes. What would happen, from that small, inconsequential change? Would everything still continue as normal? Or would the actions caused from the incident cause another whole new timeline?
Please sit tight, and keep an open mind. I will attempt to broaden your horizons by introducing what would have happened from something small, which could have happened to you just thus morning, and yet bring about such enormous changes.
This story starts with a coin in the world of Naruto.
In the most widely-known timeline, a harassed civilian mother drops a 20 ryo coin. She however notices it dropping, and turns her wailing screaming children around to pick it up.
In this timeline, she does not, and continues her way, trying to get her children to stop crying.
In that timeline, the grocer Momiji's young grandson dearly wished to buy a handful of colourful glass marbles he saw in old man Ryuuki's shop window. However, he had already spent his monthly allowance and did not have any more. He would resolve to wait till next month, but when next month did came, he would have already forgotten about that jar of wonderful coloured glass.
In this timeline, the young grandson was walking home after leaving the store when he came across the 20 ryo coin. Not believing his luck, he hurriedly picked it up. Upon confirming it was, indeed, a 20 ryo coin, he ran off to old man Ryuuki's General Store to buy a large handful of glass marbles.
Clutching his handful of marbles, he ran off home, and spent the whole afternoon at his family's home above their fruits and vegetables shop playing with his even younger brother. They had so much fun even just admiring the way the light shone through the marbles, so it was understandable that they forgot that their grandfather and father would be coming home soon.
Upon reaching home, the grandfather attempted to sweep his grandsons into a hug. However, he did not notice the marbles scattered on the floor, and fell onto his back after spinning his arms like a pinwheel. The son bellowed, seeing his aging father fall with a thump, and attempted to try and pick him up, but instead also stepped on the marbles, which cracked under his weight, but not before making him fall forwards and onto his right side.
The grandson's shrieked shrilly, which caused their mother to come out of the kitchen where she had been cooking dinner, to see what was going on. Upon seeing her father-in-law and husband on the floor, she shrieked even higher than her sons and tried to rush to their sides.
Unfortunately, she did not have the strength to lift up her dazed husband, and she knew better then to try lifting up her father-in-law, who was lying on the floor moaning in pain and clutching his back. Fortunately, the family's loud noises alarmed the neighbours, who alerted a passing chunnin with long brown hair and a scar across his nose, who then went to investigate. Upon seeing this scene, he shunshined away to the Konoha Civilian hospital immediately to get a doctor.
