Familiar Faces

The local antique store was an inviting place, with an outside the door, even inside was nice with many old items, but the owner was not. All he did was television, and grunt at the customers, the only time he looked away from his T.V. was when they were paying him. Three young youths are browsing though the items in the store. The group consists of a girl with red ponytails and two boys, one with glasses and green hat covering his flat brown hair, while the other has brown spiky hair.

"Hey! How about this one? Sniff"

"Yeah that looks cool!"

"How can you grandpa like this junk?"

The spiky haired boy gives the owner a couple of coins.

"It's not junk! Grandpa believes in it!"

"He also believes sprits live in this sock draw!"

"That's completely different! Besides, at grandpa's age he's allowed to go a bit crazy"

As the group leaves the owners turn his attention back to this television which was showing a news report.

"Suna archaeologists have found what appears to be battle site, near the site where a statue of a head with 9 eyes and 2 hands was found. The scientists say that this find will greatly help then understand the ancient Suna culture"

---Time Skip no Jutsu---

"Is it me?" Naruto asked himself "or have the past 200 years been really boring!"

"Quack!"

"Today's times are just to peaceful, no wonder Kyuubi went on rampages, at least then there was action"

Naruto was sitting on a bench beside a lake which as many duck swimming around looking for food or talking their young to see that bran new world. Naruto stares up at the clouds as they blow across the sky.

"I don't care what Shikamaru says, you can only watch the clouds for long"

"HEY! SLOW DOWN GUYS!"

"Eh?!" Naruto tilts his head to see what all the commotion is.

"WAIT UP! OW!!!"

"From Ninja to nurse… What are the odds?"

"You guys all right?"

"Please don't cry"

"You know not to run after it just rained…"

"I must have hit my head harder then I though"

In front of him were the youths from earlier in this story. The girl had fallen over in her rush to catch up to the boys, who were now trying to comfort her.

"Yeah we know!" said the spiky haired boy "Moegi's still hurt though" while the other boy was talking to Moegi.

"Shhh, if you stop, Konohamaru and I will buy you an ice-cream"

"Don't worry Moegi; we'll get you home in one piece!" Konohamaru tells her.

"Ready Udon?"

"Ready! Heave"

"Ho-What the!!"

"Eiii!!!"

"Ho-Oww! My back"

Konohamaru and Udon had proceeded to try and pick Moegi up, only to collapse when her full weigh was put on them.

---Time Skip no Jutsu---

"Thanks for helping us out …?" Konohamaru says.

"The name's Naruto"

"Ok that's Udon and Moegi and I'm Konohamaru, that was harder then I though."

"Don't worry about it."

"Trust me… I'm the one that should be worried"

After seeing the groups failed attempt at caring Moegi, Naruto had offer to take her back to her house and because Konohamaru home was closer they were going there.

"Hey, how come you're not sweating, isn't she heavy?"

"She's quite light actually"

Moegi turns her head to Konohamaru and growls at him

"Comment on my weight one more time and I swear!"

"Konohamaru, Udon Moegi, there's no recognition of me in their eyes… I guess it was too much to ask for, though I can't help wonder…"

"It's right over here" Konohamaru point to a tradional Japanese estate

"Could there more of them around?"

"Hey Grandpa! Where back!"

"Welcome back"

"Eh… Interesting!, I never though I'd get to see you grow wrinkles twice old man"

Sitting on the porch playing shogi where Sandaimeand Asuma. Asuma got up to tend to Moegi wounds, while Sandaime turned his attention to Naruto.

"Oh! It was about time you came, you've left me waiting quite a while"

"He can't, Impossible"

"Come here a moment"

Sandaime reaches for Naruto hands

"Let me see you hands, mmm, about time someone answer that job application"

"Well this proves this isn't a dream because only in reality is he this stupid!"

"Though say goodbye to those smooth hands, you'll have blisters the size of Hokkaido when I'm through with you"

"My Cells regenerate to fast for that you nimrod!

"Grandpa! Stop scaring all my friends!"
