~Life Swap~
When Naruto had envisioned the whole swap thing, he had not expected this. Currently he was on a plane to California. Yeah, California, on the other side of the mother fucking country. Two thousand four hundred and sixty-one miles away from his cramped home in New York. He missed his small apartment already and he hasn't even seen the new place he'd be staying at for a month yet. If he had to be honest with himself, he had to say he was completely dreading this. And Sai didn't help matters.
Even though Naruto had already planned on being the one to do the swap, he expected Sai to maybe disagree with him and argue against it. But no, he insisted that Naruto go. He didn't even see him off at the airport. Naruto let out a frustrated sigh. Well then if the asshole was going to play it like that, he hoped Sai had the worst time ever with his replacement. The insensitive bastard could choke on his karma for all he cared.
Naruto fiddled with his MP3 and changed the song to one of his favorites. He felt like listening to something that fit his mood and chose Homestruck Blue Lips. He wished he hadn't packed his laptop away in his other luggage for the trip. The flight was very boring and uneventful and he had been feeling restless for what seemed to last for ages.
"Attention passengers. We shall be landing momentarily. Please prepare for the landing."
Naruto practically sagged in his seat with relief. "Ugh, finally!"
A few of the older passengers sitting around him gave Naruto an annoyed look while others thought the same as he did. The plane finally landed and Naruto was eager to get out of his seat. He just couldn't sit still in one place for so long when he was fidgety and nervous. Unfortunately, even when the plane had landed, passengers were not allowed to move from their seats just yet. Instead they had to sit and wait for another twenty minutes until they were allowed to get off the plane.
After that Naruto went through the whole complicated process of retrieving his luggage and trying to find a god dam bathroom. Seriously, this place was like a maze, and it didn't help with the hordes of people walking around every which way and ultimately confusing the shit out of him.
And after his epic journey in search for the bathroom, Naruto made his way to the front entrance to wait outside for his ride to his temporary home. He expected to wait for half an hour, an hour tops, but was surprised to see Kakashi already outside waiting besides a limo. Right away Kakashi spotted him and waved him over.
A few people passing by actually stopped and stared at the limo, looking intrigued. It suddenly made Naruto feel a little awkward as they then stared at him walking up to Kakashi who opened up the door for him. After a muttered thanks as he got into the limo, it suddenly dawned on him. This was only the beginning of the stares and attention he was going to get in public. He was going to be on T.V. and watched by probably millions of people across the country! What the hell did he get himself into?! It was times like this that he hated how his perverted uncle's unwanted words of wisdom would ring through his head. How many times did the old geezer tell him that he was always doing shit without thinking things through? Like when he married Sai…
With a scowl Naruto shoved that thought aside. He was not going to think about that right now. He huffed and didn't even see Kakashi slide into the seat across from him.
"My, my. Your face can really brighten a man's day."
Naruto scowled even more at the sarcastic remark and shifted slightly so he was facing Kakashi. The man still had half of his face covered but still gave off that professional vibe that demanded respect. And Naruto did respect him…sort of.
"Good evening Mr. Hatake-wait it's early noon here isn't it?" Naruto looked at his watch and then outside to one of the city clocks and grimaced. He forgot about the time difference. Any moment now he was going to feel that jet lag.
"Ah call me Kakashi, Naruto. There's no need to act so formal with me, we'll be seeing each other quite a bit throughout the month after all. And yes, it is indeed noon right about now."
"Oh. Alright then…Kakashi."
Naruto saw the corners of Kakashi's eyes crinkle slightly as his lone eye closed. That was the only indication of a smile that Naruto got and it was probably going to be hard trying to distinguish whatever emotion might pass through this guy. He was just so…mellow. But he knew there was more to the man than he let on.
For a couple minutes the two men just studied each other. Depicting bits and pieces of each other to come to a better understanding of the others personality. After another minute Kakashi cleared his throat.
"Well, I suppose I should get down to business now. We shall be arriving at our destination in about forty minutes and before we get there, there are some things you need to know."
Naruto sat up a little straighter and leaned in a bit closer. He did not want to miss a single detail about this. When Kakashi had sent for someone to pick him up early this morning, he had asked the man about the family he was going to be staying with. How far away it was and what were the people like and such. He had a feeling the man knew everything but refused to disclose any sort of information. Naruto was hating how he was walking into this situation blindly but he had no control over the matter.
"Yes, please tell me anything I need to know. That guy that picked me up this morning wouldn't tell me a thing!"
Kakashi made that eye crinkling smile again and for some reason, Naruto could feel a smug and knowing aura coming off the man and it made him feel only slightly perturbed. Kakashi's soft chuckle didn't ease off any of his uneasiness in the slightest.
"Sorry about that, I informed Yamato to not say a word about it. His job is to only give away some information to the other person switching with you. And to direct the crew and camera men and check in with Sai and his new companion at least two or three times a week for an interview. Exactly the same as I will be doing with you."
"Interviews…?" Naruto wasn't sure if he was going to like that. Sure you're taken off to the side to express your thoughts and feelings in private but it was live television! Everyone was going to see it. Maybe not the people he'd be staying with but they'd find out eventually!
Kakashi saw the brief flash of discomfort in the blonde man's eyes. "Don't worry. You can say whatever you want on the interview, it doesn't have to be any kind of deep personal feelings. You could use it as a way to vent out on your frustrations."
Naruto relaxed a bit. Okay so maybe it didn't sound so bad as he had previously thought.
"But anyway, the couple we chose to have you swap with are the Uchihas. Sasuke and Sakura Uchiha to be exact."
"Uchihas huh? Why does that name sound so familiar?"
"Maybe because Sasuke Uchiha is one of the wealthiest men here in the United States. He's probably somewhere in the top one hundred wealthiest men in the world."
Naruto gave him a disbelieving look but Kakashi just stared at him blankly. And as if lightning struck him, he remembered the Uchiha name. Sasuke was some type of entrepreneur and incredibly successful. He probably saw him on the news maybe once but that was so long ago, he could hardly remember what he looked like. So he was going to be living with…with…
Oh God. Oh my fucking GOD!
"Are you serious?! You have to be kidding, why would such high class people participate in a show like this! No offense of course…but seriously, oh my god!"
Kakashi waved off the slight jab to what he was considering to be the making of a masterpiece. The blonde just didn't understand that even people from the upper class in their society did at times take part in shows like theirs. Though, he did have to side with Naruto on this one. Mostly celebrities did this sort of thing, not top notch successful businessmen like the Uchihas.
"Hmm I did share in your confusion at first when I received a call from them. But after doing some digging on them, I believe I may of discovered the reason."
Naruto quirked an eyebrow. He wondered what kind of reason or secret it was for them to…degrade themselves into doing this. Unless it was a publicity stunt…He opened his mouth to ask what it was that Kakashi found but was cut off by him.
"Before you even ask me, I will not tell you a single detail on the matter. That is information you'll have to find out on your own if you wish during the course of the month. Just like how Sakura will have to uncover your dirty little secrets, such as your marital problems."
Naruto's mouth snapped shut and clenched his jaw. How in the world…"How'd you know about that?" he asked in a hushed whisper.
Kakashi's eye squinted and if he had to take a wild guess, he'd say the man was smirking at him. "Of course I did background checks on both couples. However, even though I may know Sakura's reasons for entering in this show, I'm not too clear on your intentions. There is always the matter of finally catching up on all your debts, and then maybe investing in the rest of the prize money; however, I get the feeling you have another reason. There are many possibilities, but I've yet to narrow it down."
There was a glint in Kakashi's eye that told him the man would stop at nothing at uncovering everything he needed to know. And it pissed Naruto off.
"Just what the hell gives you the right to dig into my personal business! I understand I'm gonna be on live television and nothing will be private, but that's my personal life that has nothing to do with this show!"
"On the contrary," Kakashi leaned forward and rested his head on his knuckles, "It has everything to do with the show. It makes it more interesting and it pulls the audience in. Millions of Americans have similar problems like you, so they'll be able to relate to you. As for the Uchihas, they've never been in anything like this so it raises the hype. Taking a typical American couple…or almost typical…and mixing them up with the big shots? This will drag in a large audience and ratings for the company will skyrocket exponentially. And, I do in fact have the right to pry into your business. You did check the box on the application saying you agreed to the contract."
"What? I don't remember ever reading a contract on this shit!"
There was a small hint of amusement in Kakashi's voice. "It was on the application you filled out. Maybe you missed it. It was on the back in very small print."
Naruto felt his eyebrow tick in irritation. He should of known. Of course all the bad stuff about this deal would be in tiny print so he'd either wouldn't be able to read it, or miss it completely. He was being completely and utterly used, but it was his own damn fault. Instead of shouting the injustice of this like he so wanted to, Naruto sat back and glared harshly out the window. He didn't want to hear anything more.
They remained silent for a few minutes. Kakashi wanted to give the pissed off blonde man a little time to let this sink in before he told him the rest of what he needed to know. He checked his watched and noticed they would be arriving at the Uchiha household in about twenty minutes.
"I think you've done enough sulking for now. We do need to get back to business."
Naruto continued to ignore him.
Kakashi sighed. "Don't let it bother you so much. It's not like I'm going to reveal everything about you on the first episode. That is just something that may or may not be revealed throughout the course of the show. But it's only natural if some secrets are revealed during that amount of time."
For a few moments Naruto said nothing, but decided to put his ill contempt aside for now. He turned back towards Kakashi to listen to the rest he had to say.
After getting the blonde's attention back Kakashi spoke. "Alright then. I can't tell you much about the situation because the company executives think it'd be more interesting if you were continually surprised and shocked when discovering things and some facts on your own. But there is one thing I personally think you should know."
Curious, Naruto paid rapt attention to Kakashi.
"As it's obvious, Sasuke and Sakura are a heterosexual married couple, and you and Sai are a homosexual married couple."
A sinking feeling started to form in Naruto's stomach.
"They have no idea that they have switched with a gay couple. Now I don't know where Sasuke stands on the whole same-sex marriage controversy that has concerned Americans for years, but I do know that Sakura is completely against it. Because of Proposition 8, a passage in the amendment of the California constitution in 2008, the opinion of gay marriage has been up in the air and divided up between the people of the state. In other words, I'm giving you a forewarning on the matter. I'm not against same-sex marriage but I know how ruthless people can be and want you to be prepared for what may come."
Naruto groaned and slid down in his seat. He did figure that he'd be switched with a straight couple. There were only six states that legalized gay marriage and a couple others that recognized it, but didn't perform it. He was lucky he grew up in New York, one of the states that did legalize it. He had grown up in New York, and couldn't imagine living anywhere else in the country. But still, this kind of sucked if he was stuck with a guy who was against everything that he was.
"Does that guy Sasuke have to know that I'm gay?"
Kakashi gave Naruto a small sympathetic look. "It is within his rights to know. Even if you didn't tell him, he'd know right away since a man swapped places with his wife."
He should of expected this. They probably set up these circumstances on purpose to create tension and drama in the show and draw in a large audience. It was all for profit in the end. Suddenly Naruto felt exhausted. It was only a matter of time till that jet lag kicked in. He rubbed at his temples to prevent the oncoming headache he felt forming.
"Is there anything else that I need to know?"
"No not that I can think of." Kakashi thought for a moment. "Well except that they do have a child. Just their son."
That didn't sound so bad. Naruto liked kids well enough as long as they weren't brats. He only hoped the kid wasn't some stuck up little rich monster. If he was, that would just be the icing on his cake of growing misery.
For the rest of the ride it was silent. When they finally arrived, Naruto was too consumed in his own thoughts to even notice. Kakashi had to tap him on the shoulder a couple times to bring him back to reality.
The limo driver was nice enough to help get Naruto's luggage from the trunk. He thanked the man and insisted that he could carry it all inside himself. Being doted on or having people at your beck and call was not something Naruto liked or felt comfortable with. He was a man who liked to do things for himself with hardly if no help at all. It's how he's always been.
What surprised him was that there was a big bronze gate locking them from the outside. Beyond the gate Naruto saw a bunch of shrubbery and trees, and far off in the distance, he saw what he figured was the house…or more accurately, a mansion.
Kakashi pushed a button on the gate and it gave out a long annoying buzz. "Mr. Uchiha? This is Kakashi. I've arrived with your wife's replacement. Would you please let us in?"
For a few moments nothing happened. Then with a slight groan, the gates opened on their own. Kakashi walked in and after a moment of hesitation, Naruto followed him. The further they walked in the bigger the place seemed. He wondered how many acres of land this guy owned and if the woods a few miles behind the house belonged to him too. There was even a bush trimmed down into the shape of…was that a labradoodle? It sure looked like it. And not too far off was another hedge trimmed into the shape of, get this, a tree.
Naruto stared at that one for a few seconds in bewilderment. Seriously, who the hell shapes a bush into a tree? Why not just buy a tree and plant it there? He didn't see the creativity in this at all. Well, maybe he'd give the guy whoever made this some props because at the top there were rose buds. That looked kind of pretty, but still the whole idea of it seemed retarded.
So that's mainly what Naruto could see of this place. It was very beautiful. Lots of shrubbery and trees, and even a fountain with greenery growing on it. It almost had a mystical feel to it.
'Though it seems to be a bit excessively extravagant…'
When they stood on the doorstep and knocked on the door, Naruto looked up. This mansion had to be about three stories high. He wondered why a family of three lived in such a big mansion. It seemed so pointless. All that extra space probably went to waste.
There was a muffled shuffling on the other side of the door and Naruto could hear the faint click of a lock unlocking. The door opened. In the doorway stood a man, probably about the same age as him. If Naruto had to guess he was probably just an inch or two taller than him. He wore an expensive, crisp black suit with a dark blue tie. His hair was done up in an unusual style. Short and spiked up in the back, while the bangs in the front fell to the tip of his chin and framed his face rather nicely.
Despite Naruto's efforts, he could not find a single hair out of place on this guy. Everything about him screamed perfection and he wondered if it was natural for a guy to look so…flawless. The only thing Naruto found fault in was the guy's face. It was blank and practically devoid of any emotion. How the heck does a person pull that look off so easily? But despite that, Naruto had to admit that the guy was absurdly handsome.
Suddenly, Naruto felt a bit self conscious. Here was a guy dressed to impress, or maybe that was how he always dressed, and here he was dressed way too casual. He was wearing faded blue jeans with a white, short sleeved v-neck shirt and a light, black jacket over it. He didn't even have that buttoned up. Even his shoes were old and almost worn out. He wondered just what kind of impression he was making for this guy.
For a few moments nothing was said while Sasuke looked at the newcomer from head to toe. A confused and then suspicious look flashed through Sasuke's eyes until he looked over at Kakashi. "Mr. Hatake, who is this?"
"Sasuke, Sasuke, I told you to not be so formal, call me Kakashi-"
"Mr. Hatake. Who is this man?"
The blank look on Sasuke's face was then replaced with one of immense annoyance and Naruto started to feel a bit put off by the tone of voice of this guy. He hadn't even acknowledged him! Not to mention he preferred the guy's expressionless face way better now. He even noticed Kakashi straighten his back a little and he could just hear the forced politeness coming from the man.
"This man Sasuke is the other spouse switching with your wife Sakura."
Sasuke shifted his gaze over to Naruto and narrowed his eyes. "Is that so? Why didn't his wife switch then?"
Naruto's gut feeling told him that Sasuke knew that he was gay, but it was as if it was the guy's own way to make a jab at him about it. If that's how Sasuke was going to be, then Naruto had no problem at playing the bastards game. "Well you see I don't want my wife living with another man across the country for a whole month. I don't want said man to take advantage of her and force himself onto her. You never know in this day and age. So I came instead."
To finish it off, Naruto gave a cheeky smile just to piss him off more. He could practically see the steam coming out of his ears as Sasuke glared murderous daggers at him. And he was loving it. If Sasuke thought he'd make a jab at his homosexuality, then Naruto would make a jab at his ego and indirectly call him a lecher.
Kakashi stood off to the side and watched the two men's interaction with an amused glint in his eye. The tension that was building up between the two was so thick Kakashi could just feel it. He smirked. Oh yes, he had a feeling Life Swap was going to become very popular.
"Well, I suppose I'll make the introductions then. Sasuke, this is Naruto Uzumaki who came across the country all the way from New York. And Naruto, even though I've already spoke of him, this is of course, Sasuke Uchiha." Just to be cruel Kakashi added in, "Why don't the two of you shake hands to finalize the introduction."
Naruto inwardly cursed at Kakashi. The last thing he wanted right now was to even look at this guy, let alone shake his hand. Surprisingly though, Sasuke held out his hand first, but kept his hard glare fixated on him. Naruto grit his teeth and tried to make his lips twitch into a smile. Sadly, Naruto wasn't as good at making fake smiles like Sai. Naruto lifted his arm and took a firm hold of Sasuke hand. Sasuke in turn gripped his hand tightly and they both gave one stiff shake, and immediately let go.
Kakashi smiled. "Very good. I shall take my leave then. May the two of you get along and have fun during the show."
Naruto blinked in surprise and swiveled his head towards Kakashi's retreating back. "Wait! You're leaving already?"
He had expected Kakashi to maybe stay for a bit to study closely how Sasuke and he acted, or to ask them both questions or explain more about the show. Not only that but he didn't want to be left to his own devices so soon with this pompous asshole.
"Yes. I apologize, but there are some things that I need to attend to and prepare for. I'll come back to see how everything is going tomorrow." Without another word Kakashi left.
Naruto sighed and cursed his luck and the injustice of it all. He turned back around to Sasuke who had gone back to his 'devoid of life and emotion' face. The tension between them suddenly turned awkward.
"Um…do you mind if I come in?"
Sasuke just looked at him with a blank look and turned around to walk into the house. "Hn."
Well, Naruto guessed that was the best kind of permission he was going to get out of the guy, so he grabbed his luggage and walked in and closed the door behind him. He was amazed by how big and spacious the place was on the inside. Directly in front of him was a grand staircase that split in two and led to the upstairs. He peeked over to his right and noted that there was another hallway that led to who knows where. And to his right looked to be…the exact same thing.
'Whoever built this place certainly made everything symmetrical.'
Along the walls where many paintings of landscapes and cities as well as portraits of what he concluded was Sasuke's family. There were so many pictures of family members, he wondered just how large his family was. Deciding to do more exploring later, Naruto picked up his bags and took one step forward and came to a halt. He realized he was all alone. He never even noticed that Sasuke had left him there without showing him to his room. The least the bastard could of done was tell him how to find it! The hell was he suppose to do now?
Naruto glanced to his left and then to his right and then up at the stairs, not sure which way he should go. He got a feeling that if he wandered aimlessly, he would get lost in a matter of minutes. Using his common sense, he decided to go for the stairs. Most houses, or mansions, usually had the bedrooms upstairs anyway. As he walked up the stairs, he couldn't help but wonder why he hadn't seen any housekeepers or maids. Didn't rich people like Sasuke with a grand home like this employ such people? It was odd.
While Naruto was pondering on that, he didn't notice the trick wire at the very top of the stairs. Before he knew it he was falling forward. Instinctually, he dropped his bags and threw his arms out in front of him to soften the impact. His hands hit the floor to try and catch himself but the rug slid, causing him to yelp as he slipped and went skidding across the floor and colliding into the wall. A couple of paintings fell from their place on the wall and landed on the back of his shoulders. Thank God they didn't land on his head or neck.
Naruto groaned. He laid there for a couple minutes before he shakily picked himself up. His body shook a little bit and he felt the ground sway beneath his feet. He probably had a slight concussion. Naruto looked behind him to see what the hell had happened to cause that. All of his luggage was spewed out at the bottom of the stairs.
Looking down the stairs was making him feel dizzy so he decided to wait till he regained his sense of balance and got his wits together before even set foot on one step. But out of the corner of his eye he saw something. He squinted his eyes and saw…was this trick wire? Naruto picked it up to examine it closer. It was. And it was set up perfectly at the foot of the stairs to trip any oblivious person.
'God, what is this Home Alone 5? Last time I checked Macaulay Culkin was trying to bail out of jail and get out of doing rehab…'
Naruto heard hurried footsteps coming his way. He looked up and cursed to the high heavens. It was Sasuke with a bewildered look on his face as he looked at the mess. Then the guy looked up at him and his eyes narrowed dangerously.
"I leave you alone for five minutes and this happens?"
Beyond angry and embarrassed Naruto sputtered. "N-No I don't know how-I didn't know where to go so I was going up the stairs and this tripped me!"
Sasuke gave him an incredulous look. "There's nothing there."
"Wha-" Naruto looked down at his hands and saw that the trick wire wasn't there anymore. He stared blankly at the emptiness in his hands.
It was just there! In my HANDS! Where'd it go!"
Naruto's eyes darted all around him, looking for any trace of the wire that had tripped him and made him look like a clumsily moron in front of Sasuke.
"It was right here. Some kind of wire that tripped me. I swear!"
"Or maybe, you just tripped over your own feet going up the stairs." Sasuke made his way towards him while giving Naruto a look that clearly said he thought he was a complete incompetent idiot.
Naruto's mouth dropped. He couldn't believe Sasuke thought that he was stupid enough to trip while going up the god dam stairs! Okay, sure he may have done that a few times when he was in high school, but back then it was quite alright to do stupid stuff! Now though, at the age of twenty-seven…God he felt like a retard right now.
Sasuke stopped and stood right in front of him. His gaze swept over the fallen paintings and Naruto grimaced slightly. Who knows how much those paintings cost. Probably more than what he made in a year….
'Fuck my life.'
"Um…I'm sorry about all this. I'll clean it up." Naruto stood up but immediately felt hi body tremble a bit. He staggered slightly. To keep himself from falling again he leaned against the wall for support. All the while Sasuke had been watching him.
"No. I'd prefer if you stay seated until I call a doctor for you to check your head."
"No! I'm alright! I'm just a bit dizzy is all. Don't call a doctor." The last thing Naruto wanted was to owe this guy. He had no money for this type of shit.
"Dobe. I'm calling a doctor and that's final. Now wait here while I make the call." Sasuke glanced back at the mess and all of his belongings just chilling on the cold floor at the bottom of the stairs. "And I will have a servant come help you to your room and bring you your things."
Without leaving any room for argument, Sasuke walked down the stairs and around the corner out of sight. Naruto sighed and rested his head against the wall. His temple was throbbing and he knew he was going to have a killer headache pretty soon. And to make it worse, he felt like an imbecile. His first day here and he already managed to screw up and make a fool out of himself in front of this bastard.
Off to his left Naruto heard a faint sound. It sort of sounded like a snicker. He turned his head towards the sound and narrowed his eyes. A few feet away from him was a doorway. He saw a shadow coming from it.
"Who's there?"
Another snicker was heard before a head peeked from the doorway. It was a kid about maybe about ten or eleven. He had dark spiky hair and dark mischievous eyes. This must be Sasuke's son that Kakashi mentioned.
"Oh, hey there…kid. What's your name?"
The kid just continued to look at him weirdly and had an impish grin on his face. It was starting to unnerved Naruto a bit. Naruto was about to say something else to the little guy when he looked down and saw the trick wire in the kid's hands. He snapped his eyes back up to the boy's and glared.
"You set that trap up didn't you!"
The grin on the kid's face widened even further. "Yea I did. What of it! It's your own fault for falling for such an easy trap." That little brat actually started to laugh at him.
Naruto felt his temper flaring. Forgetting that he most likely had a slight concussion, Naruto sprung to his feet and charged towards the brat. "Why you little punk I'll rip you a new one when I get my hands on you!"
The kid's eyes widened in fear and took off down the hall. Naruto chased after him but he hardly got far. His sense of balance was completely off and he yet again tripped and fell face first to the floor. Only this time, he tripped over his own traitorous feet. He heard the little fucker laugh at his expense from down the hall.
"You little fu-BLEEP- I'll…was I just censored?!"
Naruto pushed himself to his knees and looked around, wondering where that bleep came from. Behind him, down another hall, he saw a small camera crew. Naruto's mouth dropped to the floor and he blanched. He couldn't believe it. He couldn't fucking believe it! They were already starting to film and record for the show? Had they been filming when he took that tumble and faced such utter embarressment in front of Sasuke?
'Oh my god. This can not be happening. My life can't suck this much. Kakashi didn't even tell me that they were starting today!'
Another laugh was heard and Naruto whipped his head back over to that kid, and immediately regretted the action. His head swam and he swore he was seeing doubles.
"My dad told me that some person was gonna come today for some T.V. show, so I decided to play a prank and warn you that there will be more to come. My name's Konohamaru and you better remember it!"
Naruto could barely comprehend what the kid was saying. All he really made out was his name. He suddenly felt nauseous and light headed. He laid his head back on the floor before he puked his guts out in front of the camera men. They had recorded enough of his screw ups for one day. Naruto hated rich brats. And he was going to get back at this Konohamaru when he was back on his feet and all better.
Naruto blacked out and slipped into unconsciousness.

A/N: Hurray for chapter two! Hope everyone enjoyed it. For everyone's information, Konohamaru is one of my favorite characters. He's just so cute and adorable and I love how he's like a little brother to Naruto in the series. At least, to me I think so. I love how he calls Naruto nii-chan. It's so adorable! I almost made up my own original character to be Sasuke's and Sakura's child but to be honest, I really can't stand original characters in fan fiction. I don't mind them if they're not one of the main characters. Just as long as they're a minor character that you hardly see throughout the fic.
I have read a few fan fiction with Sasuke having a child that was an original character by the author. Some of them are actually pretty good and it works, while others are…not so good. I've only ever made one original character in my fanfics and while they do play an important role, they're hardly ever mentioned much. Jut there to play a part for the plot. For this fanfic I couldn't trust myself to make a good enough character that could interact with Naruto well. But then Konohamaru came to mind and I was like YES! He's perfect! So for those of you wondering, Konohamaru pretty much looks like Shippuden's Konohamaru except he's eleven, almost twelve here.
Okay, hope everyone liked this chapter. Please leave a review for me! I love to see what my readers think. Criticism is welcome as long as it's constructive criticism. If you have any questions please feel free to ask and I will definitely get back to you and answer them! Thank you again! ^^
