Naruto skipped merrily for a while until he found himself back to a familiar place, it was already close to midnight so there was nobody there. It was that place all those years ago where those bigots chased him and almost killed him.

"Ah, the memories, good times, good times" Naruto sighed as he sat down

Out of boredom, he started to play with the earth underneath him and molded them into those ANBU guys he just killed, there were three of them, a perfect replica, if not only for the earthy color.

"Fire" Naruto whispered as he shot multiple fire darts at the statue that exploded upon contact, molten earth was scattered everywhere.

"Quake" Nartuo whispered. Suddenly a large spike erupted from the ground and bisected the made-up man cleanly, the two halves fell and shattered on the ground.

"Aaaand Water" Naruto finished as a small explosion of high-pressure water erupted from below the earthen doll, crushing it to bits.

Naruto reveled in the rain of water and bits of rock, imagining they were human entrails and blood.

"*sigh* If only they were real, it would be a bit more fun" Naruto said, quite a bit bored and disappointed at the lack of fun things to do.

"…Lack of fun things to do" Naruto heard in his head "Cool, voices inside my head" Naruto said as he began tapping on his temple.

"Heeey" a voice began in his head

"Hello? Who are you?" Naruto asked back

"I'm the author of this story" the author spoke up

"Huh? Story?" Naruto asked

"Yes, you're just a made up thing, well, not really my own creation but I'm making a story out of you. Bottom line is you don't exist" said the self proclaimed author

"So I'm just a made up person eh?" Naruto said, rubbing his chin.

"You have a firm grasp of the obvious" said the voice inside his head

"Anything else you have to say?" asked Naruto

"…" No response

Naruto tried tapping his temples again but the voice did not return.

Naruto was then snapped out of his reverie when he heard some strange noises coming from the bushes. He stopped tapping and went there to investigate, imagine his surprise when he saw a man clad in the ugliest green leotard he ever saw. He also sported an evil looking bowl cut and two large black rectangles above his eyes.

"Are those eyebrows?" Naruto said as he squinted his eyes for a better look "That's just strange, not to mention wrong"

As he watched the man move gracefully, striking the tree trunks and shouting "Flames of youth" or something like that, he can't help but notice the man's posterior clearly imprinted on the fabric of the aforementioned leotard.

"Oh, the humanity" Naruto thought nonchalantly

He shuddered at the thought of seeing more and so he turned to get away. Unfortunately for him, the leotard man's senses were honed to perfection and before he could get away, he found him self being hugged to death. Naruto struggled against his bonds, but to no avail. This guy had an iron grip.

"Let us bask in the springtime of youth, oh youthful stranger" Said the weird man as tears were streaming down his face.

"Eh?" Naruto questioned

"I shall help you with your youthful pursuits my youthful friend" the guy said as he clutched Naruto's hands

Suddenly, from out of nowhere there was a scene with a sunset and crashing waves.

"This guy, is he screwed up in the head or something?" Naruto thought to himself

Suddenly, he got an idea, he's gonna have a little fun with this guy "Let's just hope he lasts" Naruto said to himself. And then another idea hit him.

"Let's mess with him a little" Naruto thought

"Hey, I have a question" Naruto said

"What is it my youthful companion?" the guy said, making an emphasis on the word youthful

"Have you ever heard voices inside your head telling you that you don't exist and your life is all made up?" asked Naruto

"NO! MY YOUTHFUL FRIEND! I AM YOUTHFUL, THEREFORE I EXIST! THAT IS ALL I AM AND THAT IS HOW I AFFIRM MY EXISTENCE" the man said as he cried some more

"…Cried some more" Naruto heard in his head again "I have a feeling someone is narrating this certain scenario in my life" Naruto thought to himself "Oh well time to play"

"Let's start the game shall we?" Naruto said as he threw a tiny fireball that singed the guy's impressive eyebrows.

"How UNYOUTHFUL! HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY IMPRESSIVE AND YOUTHFUL EYEBROWS!!!" said the man as visible energy was escaping from him in waves

"I MAITO GAI SHALL TEACH YOUTHE PROPER MANNERS OF YOUTHFULNESS!!!" the youth guy said as he reached for his leg warmers and detached the weights, he dropped them and charged Naruto.

"Hehe, I think I may have gone a bit overboard" Naruto said sheepishly. Imagine his surprise as a fist collided with his stomach from out of nowhere, he was thrown a few meters but he stood up again, a little shaken but unharmed.

"Good thing I enhanced these clothes, that punch hurt" Naruto said as he wiped off blood from the side of his mouth.

"Oh well, this makes it more fun Bio" Naruto said as he focused on the man, suddenly, large poisonous globs appeared and entered the man's body, Gai fell to his knees and was no more.

"That was a bit disappointing…He died too fast" Naruto deadpanned

THAT was what Naruto thought, an elite ninja was not that easy to bring down, Gai may be weird but he's freakishly strong nonetheless. As soon as Naruto made to leave, he felt a powerful surge of an unknown energy, he turned to see that Gai has just dispelled his Magic using chakra.

"Celestial Gates open! Kai-mon release, Kyu-mon Release, Sei-mon Release Sho-mon Release" Gai said more energy erupted from his body, his skin color changed from a pale yellow to a furious red and numerous blood vessels made an appearance all over his body.

Naruto nearly got thrown off by the amount of energy the man was exuding.

"Heehee, the fun is just getting started, don't die on me now" Naruto said with glee as he charged his eyes with Mana to better see the guy's movements and conjured up two Shield elementals. They look like metallic turtles with no feet at the back and at the front. They have four diagonal arms converging at the center that form an X-shape, these elementals absorb energy from attacks and then releases them when enough energy has been accumulated (Think Arrogance Legion from Chaos Legion). Naruto then charged his Mana, ready for anything this guy throws.

Without warning, Gai blurred and suddenly appeared behind Naruto and delivered a vicious roundhouse kick and uppercut combination, luckily, the elemental was there to block the attack. Naruto noticed some cracks appearing on the elementals back from that attack alone.

"Release" said Naruto and the elemental fired off a blade containing the absorbed power's attack. Gai just caught it and crushed it like it was nothing.

"Weak elementals, they won't survive anymore, time to get serious" Naruto said as he charged up his Mana

"Volcano" As soon as Naruto said that, the ground trembled and cracked beneath them. Suddenly lava started gushing out, threatening to engulf everything in the vicinity. Gai just flared up his chakra and walked along the lava like it was nothing. Naruto then sent his elementals toward Gai, they exploded but Gai just shrugged it off. Naruto then flew and began raining down Lightning bolts at Gai who just deflected them or redirected them back at Naruto.

"Hehe How about this one: Quakera" Naruto said as he suddenly raised his hands, below him multitudes of large earth spikes erupted from beneath the ground, Gai was busy dodging them and Naruto saw this as an opportunity to strike.

"Aero" said Naruto as wind blades converged upon Gai and cut him up, to Naruto's surprise these were only shallow cuts, that gate open thing Gai did not only increased his power and speed but also his durability, that attack should have made ribbons out of a normal guy by now. Naruto was interrupted when a strong shockwave hit him and nearly made him plummet to the ground.

"THAT WAS A VERY UNYOUTHFUL THING YOU DID STRANGER, NOW COME DOWN HERE AND SHOW ME THE EXTENT OF YOUR TRUE YOUTHFULNESS" Gai said as he threw more shockwaves at Naruto.

Naruto was getting pissed. "Time to up the ante hehehe" Naruto said maniacally as he began his assault.

"Watera" Naruto said with a snap of his fingers, suddenly a large geyser of superheated water erupted from under the lava and exploded, solidifying the lava underneath. It hit Gai but he only sustained a minor burn on his arm.

Naruto quelled the lava causing it to solidify, he needed it to be for the next step.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING STRANGER?" Gai said as he jumped up and proceeded to beat up a very surprised Naruto. A right hook and uppercut combination hoisted him upwards where Gai delivered powerful knees to his abdomen and finally a brutal elbow brought Naruto plummeting to the ground. These attacks were so powerful that with every strike, shockwaves would ripple outwards and gouge the land.

Naruto fell on the cooling lava with a thud, clearly dead, until the Naruto on the ground melted, it was only a fake, what a crafty little devil.

"Next is Flood" Naruto said with a wave of his arm and a burst of Mana, suddenly ice walls enclosed him in a small space followed by a rush of water brutally banging him along the walls. As the waters receded, the ice walls closed in on him and crushed him.

"Heheheheehee, that was really fun, lets do that again sometime" said Naruto flying gleefully like a bee.

"OH YOUTHFUL STARANGER! LET US REACH THE CRESCENDO OF YOUTH TOGETHER" Gai said and he raised up his fist, his eyes streaming with more tears than ever before.

"What in the seven burning hells is that?!?! Why are you still not DEAD" Naruto half said half screamed

Gai then jumped up and attempted a kick but Naruto was able to dodge.

"Blizzard" Naruto retaliated, a large ice crystal appeared above Gai and fell on him, sending him crashing to the ground.

"That's it, I'm mad FIRAGA Combo" Naruto said with malice as he condensed his Mana.

Suddenly, a jet of fire shot up from below Gai, he tried to dodge it but then more jets of flame began shooting up until one caught him and threw him in midair, then it was followed by two red orbs that encircled Gai. They spun faster and faster until they formed a fiery tornado that scorched everything in the vicinity, it spun Gai faster and faster all while burning him, it was then followed by a wave of flame that planted him firmly to the ground and finally a fiery explosion completed the chain.

"Please die, please die, please die" Naruto chanted with closed eyes

When the smoke receded, Gai was lying there apparently dead. Naruto, satisfied with his handiwork cleared the magma and repaired the area, making sure nobody knew anything happened there that night.

It was close to morning and Naruto had so much fun this night.

"I wonder what will happen next time" Naruto said as he walked along trying to find a resting spot away from people and away from the sun. after a few minutes of searching, he came across a cave on the outskirts of Konoha. It was damp and cool inside, a nice place to rest, away from the prying eyes of the populace. What is unknown to him is that a certain Kage has caught wind of our blonde hero's actions and is taking measures to enslave him.

Sarutobi just saw what Naruto was capable of and he was surprised to say the least. He did not expect that the fox's power was that immense, it may have caused him the health of one of his best men but it was all worth it.

"Tomorrow we get the child, make your preparations" Sarutobi ordered his men

"And will someone check up on Gai and send him to the recovery room. We are going to need all the information he can give us" Sarutobi snapped

Back at the park, Gai stood up and rubbed his neck, he stretched out the kinks on his back and muttered "That was some youthful kid, I would love to have a spar with him again and next time, I'm giving my all"

He walked towards the Hokage tower, a little injured but smiling, he had found another youthful rival with which to test himself.

Naruto on the other hand, lay in his cave, content and happy. What he did not know was that there are people coming out for him and the guy he killed, he's still alive.
