I - Giggles and Fish

Slowly prying his eyes open Naruto looked around. He was surrounded by dense forest. He could hear the sounds of birds chirping in the distance and other wildlife going on with their life. The bright sun blinded him forcing him to cover his eyes until they adjusted. The dull aching pain in head was all the was on his mind and the sun really wasn't helping, the rays of light feeling like knives. He put his head in his hands and tried to piece together what was happening. 'Where am I?'

He blinked slowly and sat up as the pain started to ebb away. Brushing off his tattered clothes he shakily got to his feet. His orange jacket was shredded and almost unrecognisable but thankfully his top wasn't half as bad and recoverable. Reaching up he stretched out his body loosening his stiff muscles. He started walking in a random direction which he assumed was south while massaging the many knots in his shoulders developed from sleeping on a tree. He hummed a soft relaxing tune quietly and kept walking peacefully until he came across a small lake surrounded by wild flowers and animals.

The sun was shining and animals roamed happily by the lakeside drinking from it now and then. It was serene. But Naruto didn't really care for those sort of things. Grinning excitedly he stripped down to his underwear and jumped in disrupting the quiet. He was splashing around scaring any animals away when he noticed a very peculiar thing. "E-EH?!" Catching his reflection in the lake his hand immediately went towards his face. He looked at least 10 years younger.

He was rapidly slapping his face questioning his sanity when he heard a small giggle behind him. He spun around so fast he lost his footing and went under. The laughing got louder. His head came up with a grumpy look on his face and a fish flapping about on top of his head. "HEY YOU!" He shouted pointing his finger angrily at a small girl causing the fish to go flying off his head, "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE LAUGHING AT?!" The little girl shut up immediately and had a scared look in her eyes, her face looking like that rabbit he threw a kunai at in wave.

Naruto got a flustered look on his face as she started to run away. "H-hey! Wait!" He quickly swam to the edge and put on his clothes then chased after her catching up quickly. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to scare you". The little girl stopped running and turned around. They held eye contact for a second then she stuck her tongue out at him and blew a raspberry. "Screw you old man!" She shouted while turning her back and running again.

All traces of worry or guilt immediately disappeared from Naruto's face and instead an indignant look replaced it. He sat for a second wondering what just happened then finally comprehend what she called him. "Come back here you little brat!" He screamed while chasing after her again. After a while he started to catch up to her again but a small village came into sight. He slowed his pace to a walk as he heard the small girl a little while away.

"Oba-san! Oba-san! There's a strange fish boy following me and he's trying to kill me!" She was pulling at a old lady's skirt.

"Oh Mika. What did this strange boy look like?" The lady asked patting her head. The newly dubbed Mika scrunched up her face in thought.

"He was blonde, and uh.. had whiskers!" The old lady started laughing "I thought you said he was a fish boy" she inquired. "HE WAS! Let me finish! You're so mean oba-san!" Mika screamed out in anger and frustration.

Naruto had heard enough and burst out in uncontrollable laughter. Mika jumped up three feat in the air then her eyes widened in recognition. "IT'S YOU!" She pointed her finger repeatedly, "SEE! Oba-san I'm not crazy hah!"

The delight on her face almost made her look crazy. The old lady blinked a couple times then with the speed of a 20 year old athlete she ran and kicked Naruto in the balls. He started howling in pain and dropped to the ground holding what's precious.

The lady looked at the poor boy rolling around in contempt. Tears were streaming down Naruto's face rapidly. "W-why?" He painfully moaned out.

"You tried kill me precious granddaughter you're lucky just get away with a kick" She turned her nose at him. A defensive look grew on Naruto's face. "I wasn't going to kill her! I just wanted to know we we are." He started sniffling.

"YEAH RIGHT YOU OLD PERVERT!" The Mika screamed while kicking his head like a soccer ball making him go flying back. Naruto hoped to his feet this time, a big swollen black eye was starting to form. Very impressive for a little girl. "That was too far this time!" Naruto pointed an accusing finger at Mika.

The old lady started laughing. "Okay, okay let's get you back to our place to clean you up before you really do kill my precious granddaughter." The lady offered while slowing down her laughing, "and Mika how do you know the word pervert your only 6!" She raised an eyebrow at Mika and waited for an answer.

Mika had a proud look on her face. "Ayami-chan told me whenever a old guy came near me to kick him in the who hahs, call him a pervert and run away. But you already kicked him in the who hahs oba-san so I just had to go for the face." A bright smile was written on her face.

The old lady scowled and started muttering about that Ayami-san but Naruto's quiet whimpers brought her back to reality. "Oh you!" She exclaimed helping him up, "our house isn't far, come on." Naruto slowly dragged himself up and started limping behind the skipping girl and proud old lady.

Okey dokey so this is a time travel book mainly focused on Naruto and a couple other peeps. I originally wrote this book on wattpad under potatoes_gona_potate so I'm not stealing their story btw. Yah so the chapters are short enough between 1000-2000 words but I updated regularly enough soap hopefully it's not too bad. I've no idea how the beta shizdoodles work so if anyone wants to explain it'd be much appreciated. I'm new here and I came for the time travel stories since there isn't many good ones on wattpad. Anywho bye for now.
