To my esteemed fans:

I am sorry that I am uber late on this. I had school and finals and whatnot so this was put on the back burner. (I have like three projects on back burners). Soon, it will be no school and more time (hopefully) to work on this. I'm so sorry!!! I'm so sorry!!! I swear I will try to update this maybe every 2-3 weeks. I just finished junior year so I have to start looking at and applying for colleges and trying to get a job… Blehh… But, anyways, my fans will always be in my top three priorities!

Thank you, (even though it's just the second chapter) for sticking with me this far! I appreciate the support I get from you, all of you! Please keep sending in more reviews from everyone and maybe comments and suggestions, but of course that's what reviews are for. Haha!

Now, without further distractions the second chapter of Turning Back the Hands of Time: Graduation Day! Again?!

"Damnit," Naruto cursed under his breath, "I went back too far."

The Sandaime eyed the mysterious visitor. "You… you look like Naruto. But, you're too old to be him… unless… I must be dreaming…" He rubbed his eyes.

Thinking quickly, Naruto crossed the first two fingers of both of his hands. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Nine clones appeared, making ten Narutos total.

The old hokage stood up defensively, "I don't know who you are, but if it's a fight you want, I'm not that old to beat you."

The ten Narutos made the Hitsuji sign, "Transform! Harem Jutsu!"

"Wha- Gahhh!!!" The Sandaime Hokage fell back, confused, dazed and with a massive nosebleed all over his robes.

"Heh heh," Naruto celebrated as he jumped out of the office window, "Still got it."

Naruto quickly found his way through the village, which was a lot easier without the rubble of fourteen years later. He reached the small balcony of his old apartment, staring in. He sighed as the memories rushed in. This was the place where he lived from when he was kicked out of the orphanage at six to when he was engaged to Hinata at eighteen. He turned, eyes still pressed to the glass window, and noticed someone, a boy, was sleeping on the bed. The boy was sleeping on his back. He wore white pajamas and a black sleeping cap that prevented his blonde hair from getting bed hair. Then, he realized it was him, fourteen years ago, sleeping on the bed. Naruto then noticed a brand-new Konoha headband on the nightstand next to the boy, which reminded him. "Oh, graduation day," He muttered as he picked the lock and entered.

Naruto stepped into the cool atmosphere of the apartment. He snuck over to the bed, taking wide steps not only to prevent sound but also because there was a lot of trash on the floor. He sighed and contemplated what he was about to do. "No choice," He decided as he made hand signs, "Ushi, I, Mi, Tora, Saru, U, Hitsuji, Inu, Tori, Hitsuji. Sleeping Jutsu!" He slammed down on the boy's stomach.

The boy woke with a fright. He screamed, "Ah! Who are you?! What are you doing in my house?! Get out of here!! Help!!! Hel-" The boy quickly fell over in sleepiness. The Rokudaime sighed with relief as he carried the genin over his shoulder and stuffed him in the closet.

"Haha. There. That should do it," He said with self-approval. Naruto made a hand sign and shouted, "Transform!" His features turned into those of the genin he had just stuffed in the closet. He walked into the kitchen and made a quick bowl of ramen. He glanced at the frog clock. "Snap! I'm gonna be late!" He checked his body for his teleport tag. He found it then looked for a reasonable target.

Sakura.

Twelve-year-old Sakura Haruno was walking down the street in her classic red dress and with that long hair he secretly despised. The Rokudaime Hokage threw the tag to make sure it landed on her back unnoticed. It did and he celebrated. "Yes! That gives me so much more time now."

Naruto walked into the closet and searched for clothes to wear. He sighed half-disgusted at the genin's sense of fashion. He took one of the jumpsuits and put it on. After dressing, he quickly prepared a cup of instant ramen. When it was finished, he snatched it and ran out the door.

Naruto walked around the local shops and buildings admiring the beauty of it. It broke his heart though, knowing he wasn't strong enough to save all of neither it nor all of the citizens. But, deep inside it motivated him for his fight to preserve Konoha. He glanced at the shop next to him. The electronic clock caught his attention. Seven forty… "Oh, man," Naruto thought, "Class begins in five minutes. I'm so gonna be late." Naruto started booking it, but even with his current hokage speed, he would still arrive late enough to get Iruka's famous lateness speech. He scratched the back of his neck. Something was itching his neck and making it terribly uncomfortable. A tag.

"Ah! The Teleportation tag!"

"Ryu, Uma, Saru, Tori, Hitsuji! Thunder God Gate!" A loud whooshing sound was heard. Naruto blinked.

When he opened his eyes a fraction of a second later, he was in a cramped container with a door in front of him. He peeked through the door's opening and saw a mirror and a sink. He looked down. He groaned in disgust. One foot was on the teleportation tag. The other was in the toilet. He looked at the door again. It read: Sasuke's a total hottie. I want Sasuke!!! Sasuke-kun is MINE! MMM! Neji's eyes are HAWT! I want Naru-kun! (Naruto knew the culprit of that one) Naruto is ugly. Naruto is super fugly. Naruto has no-

Naruto stopped reading. He sighed and muttered, "Oh crap! How the hell am I supposed to get out of here?" He stood up on the toilet and looked around. "Wait a sec. I know! Transform!"

Sakura walked into the bathroom to Ino walking out of the stall. Her eyebrows furrowed as she saw the blonde. Ino exhaled deeply and looked at herself, running her hands over her stomach and hips. Ino finally noticed Sakura standing next to the door with her eyes completely narrowed. Ino laughed sheepishly.

"What were you doing in the bathroom for so long?" Sakura said, "Were you hoping that you would be with Sasuke? Well, too bad, Ino-pig. I'm going to be on his team."

"Oh… uh, okay? Well, I already know… that you're gonna be on," Ino hesitated, "Sasuke-kun's team… and yeah. Bye, Sakura!" Ino ran out of the bathroom leaving a stunned Sakura.

Sakura broke into a light laugh and said, "Oh, Naruto. You're such a bad actor. If only you knew…"

Naruto entered the classroom as Naruto. He scanned the room for his target. There he was, twenty feet away. Hands clasped under the tip of his chin, sitting in a cool, smug style. Naruto felt rage surge in the pit of his stomach enough to the point where his eyes turned red. He heard a grumble in his stomach which changed the color back to blue. Naruto faded out of consciousness for only a moment.

"What's up, Kyuubi?"

I felt that. Don't think I didn't.

Felt what? What are you talking about?

You wanted to kill that boy. Heh-heh-heh. You wanted to kill him so bad.

Yeah, what about it? Haven't you ever wanted someone dead?

Madara Uchiha was different.

Not really.

Beside the point, you know what you have to do.

Kill Sas-

If you kill Sasuke, you'll make the biggest mistake of your life. You'll regret it for as long as you live, which won't be long after.

Oh, I see. So, now you're telling me. I get it…

If you can't get along with your Biju, how do you get along with your wife? Or your friend?

Well, unlike you, she's beautiful. And, it's not your business anyways, so get out of here.

What are you-

Are you still here?

Good. Meeting adjourned.

Naruto opened his eyes slightly annoyed from the meeting with the Kyuubi. He felt more rage build up and he confronted Sasuke. In an instant, Naruto was squatting on Sasuke's desk engaged in an epic staring fight. The air turned dry when Naruto's eyes met Sasuke's. In his mind, Naruto went through mental lists of reasons why he hated Sasuke and all the people Sasuke killed. Sasuke was only wondering why the hell Naruto was so close to his face.

"And dude I totally forgot my headband!" A brunette ninja behind Naruto laughed nudging Naruto forward only the slightest amount. He apologized, "Oh, haha, sorry. I accidentally pushed you a little bit."

A little? A little?! Okay, let's consider the scenario and everything that led up to said scenario. Naruto walks into the room, sees Sasuke and gets very tense. Sasuke is sitting in his desk like the smug jerk he is. Naruto confronts Sasuke five inches from his face. Genin A behind Naruto tells a moderately unfunny story to Genin B. There's a swarm of fangirls shouting for Sasuke's attention, but that doesn't matter. There's a guy outside giving out rice cake samples, but that doesn't matter either. Anyways, the trigger ends with Ninja A laughing ridiculously at his own joke and pushing Naruto from behind leading to one of the most talked-about and sexuality-questioning events in the history of the Leaf Village.

Naruto lip-locked with Sasuke. Five seconds later both were on the ground grabbing their throats and gagging.

"Oh, jeez! Why didn't I avoid that this time around?" Naruto shouted mentally.

"Gross!" Sasuke choked out.

Iruka walked in at the right time to save Naruto from the fury of angry fangirls. Iruka raised his voice, "Alright everyone! Settle down! I'm going to start reading the team assignments. As of today, you have all graduated from the academy and are on your way to become an experienced shinobi. Today, you will be put in a three-man squad to carry out missions and train and live together. Each team will be led by a jonin, an elite ninja. With this in mind, I will begin reading off the genin assignments. Squad Number Seven…" Iruka began, as Naruto mouthed his exact words.

"Naruto Uzumaki…"

"Sakura Haruno…"

"And Sasuke Uchiha."

"Hm." Naruto sat back in his seat and glanced over at Sasuke. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Hinata was sneaking a glance at him and blushing madly behind her jacket's sleeves. He turned back and mouthed, "I want you."

Hinata fainted. Her face was beet-red.

Naruto smiled to himself. "I'm so glad I married her," He thought to himself. He turned back to the front to receive the last part of Iruka's speech.

"After a thirty minute break, you will be meeting your jonin squad leaders. You will all get your room numbers after you leave. Be sure you get there on time. Good luck and well… don't forget to visit me when you're rich and famous," Iruka finished dismissing the class.

"Kakashi Hatake again," Naruto smiled as he thought to himself, "I wonder how the bell test will be this time. It's gonna be a cinch." Naruto looked ahead and glared at Sasuke who was being followed by Sakura. "And after that, I'm going to kill you and set everything right."

How will the bell test go? What will Naruto do? Will Kakashi find out Naruto's secret? Hold on for the next installment of Turning Back the Hands of Time.

Please read and review. I would love to hear your comments and suggestions.

Domou Arigatou to Sayonara!
