A/N: All right, second chapter! The ONLY reason that it took so long to post was because we're having Internet issues at home. I, of course, typed up all my stuff on my laptop, and then...the wireless router broke. O woe is me. Thankfully, the public library in town has WiFi! Thank you my amazing library! Enjoy the chapter...

Disclaimer: As the Ownership Jutsu appears to have failed last time, I shall try it again. Maybe it's like a Firefox browser with the Inbox for - by that I mean you have to refresh the page. Maybe it worked, but I didn't know it 'cause I didn't refresh the page! Woot! Okay, just a sec...and...

...it didn't work. WHY? Well, I STILL don't own Naruto...

Naruto groaned as he woke up, the alarm next to his bed blaring in his ear. He smashed a hand down on it to shut it up.

What do I need to do today? He thought blearily. Translate that stupid scroll…it was talking about time travel jutsu's – wait! Time travel!

He sat up quickly, memories coming back to him. He glanced around, recognizing the familiar posters of ramen decorating his old (current?) apartment that Pein had razed (would raze?) to the ground when he attacked.

At any rate, this was definitely not the Namikaze Manor, nor the ruins of Konoha.

"I made it back," whispered Naruto. "YES! I made it!"

He scrambled out of bed and gazed out the window to drink in the sight of a healthy, happy, alive Konoha. The blond snorted when he saw looked at the Hokage Mountain. It looks so weird without baa-chan's face…and mine…

"What day is it?" Naruto asked himself out loud, glancing over at the calendar hanging on the wall. It was the day before the Genin Exams, which meant…"Dammit, I have the Academy today!"

Naruto ran over to his wardrobe and pulled it open to see…orange.

"Ah," he muttered. "I had almost forgotten I used to always wear so much orange. Man, I miss my cloak…"

Sighing, Naruto pulled out a jumpsuit and put it on, then grabbed a bowl of instant ramen, poured some water in it, and warmed it with a Katon to eat on the way to the Academy. He also slipped on the goggles that had worn all the time before he got his hitai-ate.

All right, so right now it's a day before the Genin Exam…I need to meet up with Sasuke and we'll discuss what to do then…12:00 at Team Seven training grounds…

Naruto walked into the Academy a few minutes later, feeling slightly uncomfortable. Scratch that, he felt awful. Another thing he had forgotten was how much the citizens of Konoha hated him before the Pein incident and him becoming Hokage. It depressed him slightly, but also annoyed him somewhat.

Do they really doubt my father's sealing abilities that much? He was the best! He was better than his teacher, Jiraiya of the Sannin! Speaking of Ero-sennin…I'M STILL MAD AT YOU FOR NOT TELLING ME YOU WERE MY GODFATHER! I'M ALSO MAD AT YOU FOR NOT TELLING ME THE YONDAIME WAS MY FATHER! Iwa nins coming after me or not, I think you should have let the truth out. I can take care of myself! Well, at least I could in the future. I wonder what skills I've retained…

He entered the classroom still deep in thought, then looked around, wondering where to sit.

The future Rokudaime caught a flash of blue and black out the corner of his eye and turned to see Sasuke. The Uchiha was staring directly into his eyes. Naruto held the look. Sasuke slowly nodded, smirking.

"Dobe," he mouthed. "Hokage-sama," his eyes said.

"TEME!" Naruto shouted, playing the part of being an idiot, though he was grinning ear to ear. "Sasuke, my friend," his eyes returned.

WHAM!

Naruto crumpled to the ground as a fist smashed into his head. He looked up to see Sakura standing threateningly above him.

"Ah," he said. Kuso! "Sakura-chan!"

"You're so annoying!" the pinkette shouted, glaring at him. Naruto caught a glimpse of the beautiful woman and amazing medic nin she would become for a brief moment before that vanished and she was back in her twelve-year-old fangirl mode. "Sasuke-kun!" she squealed.

Sasuke had to resist the urge to roll his eyes. Really, Sakura was so annoying in this time…

Naruto was sitting on the floor, rubbing his head and trying to figure out what to do. On the one hand, in this time I would usually just bounce right back up and demand a date from Sakura, but that seems so wrong – it'd feel like I'd be betraying Hinata-chan…and not to mention what Lee would do if he could somehow came back from the grave and travel through time to here…Naruto winced at the thought. Yes, the Springtime of Youth had traumatized him for life. Or I could just go sit by someone…

His mind made up, Naruto jumped to his feet and looked around for a place to sit. The only places open were next to some nameless other Sasuke fangirl (no!), Ino (MAJOR NO!), Sasuke (tempting, but Sakura was dead set on sitting there), or…

"Hinata-chan!" shouted Naruto, running towards the back of the room and to his future wife.

Hinata's eyes widened at the sight of her crush running towards her and calling her name (-chan?). She felt a blush stain her cheeks as her brain overloaded and she fainted.

I forgot she used to do that all the time, thought Naruto fondly as he sat in the chair next to her.

A few seconds later Hinata's eyes fluttered. She opened them to see the grinning face of Naruto in front of her.

"N-Naruto-kun?" she managed to stutter out.

"Good morning, Hinata-chan!" said Naruto cheerfully.

"H-h-hello, N-Naruto-kun…" Hinata said, before fainting again.

Naruto shrugged. Until he could give the kunoichi her memories back (and he most definitely would!) and thus by default have her regain her confidence, there wasn't really anything he could do about the fainting situation. For now he would just wait patiently and try to…pay attention…in…class…z z z

The bell rang and everyone rushed out for lunch. Everyone except the two time travelers, that is. They made their way leisurely from the classroom and then around the corner of the school.

Naruto nodded to Sasuke and vanished in a swirling tornado of wind and fire. Sasuke smirked before following the blond with a crackle of lightning.

No one noticed their disappearance.

All RIGHT! Second chapter - done! Here come more!

Please review, by the way.

Seriously. I've gotten three review so far. Thus I thank Sasuke's pal and Luiz4200 profusely. Yay first reviewers! I also thank Mej Cat, but she's my bud (and I specifically told her about it), so it was also sort of obligatory...I STILL LOVE YOU FOR IT, MEJ CAT!
