Original Chapter Title: The Times are Changing

I own none of the following three: Naruto, Snicker Bars, or the French language

In this chapter I tried my hand at humor, which I am much better at in real life, so please tell me how I did. Now on with the awesomeness!

--(Konoha Hospital)--

Before he was even fully conscious, Naruto recognized that smell. A unique smell combination of disinfectant and blood.

Opening his eyes, he saw a blindingly white ceiling with a humming florescent light in the middle. Yep, definitely a hospital.

Briefly wondering how he got there, he remembered his battle with the traitor Kabuto. The last thing he remembered was hitting Kabuto with the Rasengan, getting the necklace, a sharp pain in his chest, then blackness. He must've fainted from using too much chakra.

Sitting up he noticed that he wasn't hooked up to any monitors, so that was a good sign. He also didn't see Jiraiya, Shizune, or Tsunade-baachan anywhere and it was a bit hurtful that his new precious people weren't there.

Naruto remembered that both Ero-sennin and Baa-chan had been students of the Sandaime. This brought more unwanted grief into his heart as he remembered the old man. The third always visited him on his birthday and whenever he was in the hospital; usually the two times would coincide with each other since his birthday meant the Kyuubi festival and the festival meant his hospitalization from angry drunks.

Walking over to the window, he could see that it was about midday, so he had been out for nearly a day or more since the fight took place near 4 pm. He wondered if this hospital was in Tanazuka Gai or Konoha.

Deciding that no answer came without asking a question, Naruto found his clothes folded on the visitor's couch and proceeded to get dressed.

As he was strapping his sandals into place, the door opened and a nurse came in.

"Oh! You're awake. This is good news. We were wondering when you would wake up," she said with a smile.

Smiling back, Naruto asked, "Excuse me miss, how long was I out for?"

"We don't know exactly how long you your out before those three ninja brought you here, but you were nearly out for a whole day here."

Okay that didn't help. So Naruto tried again.

"Is this Tanazuka City or Konoha?" the blonde asked.

"This is Konoha," the nurse answered. Satisfied, Naruto started walking past her, but was stopped. "Before you can be dismissed, I need to perform one last diagnostic to make sure you're okay."

Figuring that it would be easier to just accept the check up than make a scene, Naruto sat down on his bed while the nurse checked his blood pressure, chakra stores, and all that other medical stuff.

"All done," the nurse said in a sing-song voice. "I don't know how but your wounds healed quite nicely. There's barely even a scar."

If you don't know about the Kyuubi, lady, you're either new to the Leaf village or you've been under a rock the past 13 years. Naruto though with a slight scowl. "Do you know where Ero-sennin and Baa-chan are?" Naruto asked while rolling down his sleeve.

The nurse gave a bewildered stare before asking "Who?"

Realizing the nurse didn't know Naruto's nicknames for the two Sannin, he explained "Jiraiya is the guy with long, white, spiky hair and is the world's biggest super pervert and Tsunade is this old chick (though she pretends to be young), has blonde hair, big boobs and a bad temper."

"Oh yes!" the nurse exclaimed. How could she forget the teen who kept trying to peek up all the female nurses' skirts or the blonde who would pound him to the ground every time he tried? But the nurse was confused by the 'big boobs' comment. The girl who had brought this boy in was barely pushing A-cup. "Those two are down in the visitor's lounge. They said they wanted to be here when the 'mysterious boy who slept in the woods' regained consciousness."

"K thanks!" Naruto said running past her, not even hearing the part about sleeping in the woods. When he was far enough away to avoid anymore awkward questions, he slowed down and headed down the stairs to the visitor's lounge on the 2nd floor.

The visitor's lounge was a wide room filled with vending machines, lots of chairs, TVs on the walls and a few couches. Looking around Naruto could see a man in a patient's outfit standing on a couch loudly proclaiming to be someone named Napoleon and yelling out random French words while two orderlies tried to get him to come down.

Next to the patient was a pale kid with long black hair bending in front of the snack machine trying to reach up to a Snicker's bar that got caught.

Then Naruto saw the tale-tell sign of spiky white hair that announced the presence of Jiraiya. He could see that Jiraiya was talking to a young blonde girl about Naruto's age. Naruto decided to announce himself to his perverted sensei.

"Yo, Ero-sennin! Isn't it illegal to hit on girls less than two-thirds your age?" Jiraiya didn't even look up. Scowling, Naruto walked over to the white haired man and tried a different approach. "Hey Jiraiya-sensei! Aren't you going to say hi to your…favorite…pupil?"

Naruto could only stare. This was Jiraiya wasn't it?

Long, white, spiky hair? Check.

Red tattoos under the eyes? Check.

Large bump on his head by getting pounded by Tsunade? Double check.

But it wasn't Jiraiya. This person was too small. Too young.

Finally the youth decided to speak up. "Whaddaya mean 'sensei' kid? I haven't taught anyone a day in my life. The day anyone calls the Gallant Jiraiya 'sensei' will be the day Tsunade grows a pair of giant tits, stops gambling, and becomes Hokage. In other words, it ain't ever gonna happen!"

This was a giant mistake. Faster than a speeding bull, Tsunade's fist connected with the already sore sport on Jiraiya's head, causing the crazy patient to scream "K.O.!!" while being dragged out of the room by the orderlies

"Baka!" screamed Tsunade at the downed pervert. "We just met this kid and already he's going to think of us as idiots!"

"Slehxnvbiebgs" Jiraiya babbled with little dizzy circles for eyes.

This has to be a dream. I'm still probably unconscious. Naruto thought to himself, barely aware of the ass kickin' that just happened. I'll just pinch myself and wake up.

Naruto the grabbed his cheek and pulled hard. "Ow! Not a dream. Maybe a Genjutsu?" He then put his hands in the ram seal…but forgot the dispel word.

What was it again? I remember Sakura-chan telling me about it after she woke me up during the Chunin exam. "That's it!" Naruto exclaimed, proud to remember the obscure word.

"Cake!" Nothing happened.

"No wait! Kel!" Again nothing.

Then he finally remembered the correct word.

"Kai!" This time, Naruto felt a pulse of his chakra go through his body. When he opened his eyes, the two teens were looking like they wanted to call the orderlies over to have this weird kid go join Napoleon.

Jiraiya, being the bravest on his team, cautiously approached the boy. "You okay there, buddy? Ya didn't hit your head before we picked you up, didja?"

Before he could answer, Naruto heard something that made his blood run cold.

"Ku ku ku. Have you two already made a new friend out of our mysterious forest boy?"

Feeling his breath catch in his throat, Naruto turned to see a face that he positively hated. Pale skin, yellow eyes, forked tongue, and the stench of snakes was almost palpable.

For a moment, Naruto had no thoughts, no rational state of mind, and no idea where he was. All he knew was a howling deep in his mind that screamed at him to annihilate the snake bastard, the one who dared attack the sanctity of the Leaf village and killed the only grandfather he had ever known.

"Oh, by the way, Tsunade, Jiraiya's Snicker bar got stuck and I couldn't reach it, so I just paid for a second one to knock the other down. Do you want it?" Orochimaru said holding out both chocolaty treats. Jiraiya took his, peeled it down and shoved it in his mouth. Tsunade decided she had been doing well on her diet and deserved a little treat.

"Thank you very much, Orochi--" she was cut off has an enormous blast of red chakra exploded out from the blonde boy.

"OROCHIMARUUUUUU!!" Naruto roared in a deep, guttural voice, his eyes turning red and silted, and the whisker marks on his face becoming deeper and darker. "I'M GOING TO KILL YOOOOOUUUU!!" And with that, Naruto ran at the confused snake child, fully intent on ripping his heart out.

Only quick thinking from Tsunade saved his life. Please let this work! she thought desperately. This was the first time she would use this technique in a battle situation, and she knew the risks. Too little chakra would bruise all the bones in her hands, and too much would shatter her whole arm.

Focusing the chakra to her arm, Tsunade punched the floor, causing a small fissure to appear in between her teammate and the murderous blonde. Naruto faltered on the uneven surface for only a second, but a second was all that was needed. Orochimaru performed a substitution jutsu with a chair just before Naruto's claws killed him.

"Holy shit, Orochimaru!" Jiraiya yelled at his friend. "What the hell did you do to piss him off so much!?"

"I don't know!" Orochimaru yelled back, putting as much distance as he could between himself and his would be killer. "I've never met him before!"

"Well just apologize anyway!"

But Naruto would be having none of that. He roared again and all the glass in the windows and TVs exploded outwards in a flurry of deadly shards.

Orochimaru then decided to leave before any more damage could come to the hospital or the patients. He turned at leapt out of a broken window, cutting himself slightly on the jagged edges.

Turning around, Orochimaru settled himself in a defensive Taijutsu stance that Sarutobi-sensei had begun to teach him and waited.

Orochimaru expected the blonde to exit out of the same window he did. But his eyes nearly popped out of his head when Naruto broke through the wall, red chakra lashing out around him.

Deciding that there was no way he could survive a fist fight with him, Orochimaru turned tail and ran off again, this time yelling for help.

An ANBU on patrol heard the commotion and landed if front of the fleeing Orochimaru, who deducted from the porcelain wolf mask on his face, grayish-white hair that defied gravity by staying up, and bladeless katana at his waist could only be one person.

"Sakumo-san! Thank God you're here! This crazy blond haired kid is trying to kill me!"

Looking the way that the pale child had come from, Sakumo could see an orange and yellow person surrounded by red chakra running down the street, and leaving a trail of rubble behind him.

The white haired ANBU held up a hand and spoke in a commanding voice. "Halt! In the name of the Hidden Leaf village you are to stop or deadly force will be used against you!" Naruto didn't seem to hear him, his focus only on Orochimaru.

Seeing as how threats didn't work, Sakumo flew through several hands seals and said, "Doton: Doryuuheki! (Earth Style: Mudslide Barrier)" and spat out mud that quickly formed a wall in front of Naruto.

Naruto merely bent his knees and jumped over the barrier. Sakumo had planned for this and called his next attack. "Doton: Torppingu Kiba!" (Earth Style: Trapping Fang (Original))

A giant wolf made of earth sprang up and caught Naruto in its mouth. It then landed in front of Sakumo. "Now are you going to calm down and tell me why you were attacking a Konoha ninja?"

"That bastard attacked the village and killed the third Hokage! What are you protecting him for!?" Naruto screamed in anger.

Sakumo looked backed to Orochimaru, who had bewilderment all over his face. Sakumo then turned back to the captive. "Kid, I'm afraid you're badly mistaken. No enemy has yet dared to attack this village and the only Hokage we have is the Shodai."

Naruto refused to believe this, thinking that this bastard was either messing with him or else this white haired bastard was Kabuto in disguise.

This thought brought new fury to Naruto. "STOP SCREWING WITH MY HEAD!!" the blonde screamed, as another explosion of red chakra overtook him and destroyed the earth wolf.

Sakumo and Orochimaru jumped back several feet. Then their eyes widened in fear when they saw the boy hold out his right hand and red chakra started to swirl around in a ball shape. They could both tell that whatever that jutsu was, it was very powerful.

Naruto then charged, fully intent on killing Orochimaru and whoever sided with him.

I've got no choice! Got to use it! Sakumo reached for the hilt on his waist and held it in front of him. Any other opponent would have laughed at the sight of someone trying to defend themselves with a hilt that had no blade. But all that Naruto knew was that he held death in his hand, and his target was less than 10 feet away.

Just as the kid was about to strike, Sakumo sent a powerful surge of chakra to the hilt and formed an incredibly white blade, pulsating with power. Sakumo blocked the sphere and held the blonde boy at bay.

Naruto responded by summoning more of the Kyuubi's chakra, increasing the size of the Rasengan by an inch. Sakumo retaliated by pumping more of his chakra into the blade, which had begun to bend to the sphere, but now held equal ground.

Just as it seemed like these two forces would be in a forever stalemate, a sudden cry of "SNEAK ATTACK!" followed by two feet slamming into the side of Naruto's head ended the battle. Naruto slammed through a building and lay there, seemingly unconscious.

In place where the blonde once was, now stood Jiraiya, face split into wide smile at the success of his attack.

Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you so much, Jiraiya-kun. I don't know how much longer Sakumo-san could've held him off."

Ignoring the ANBU's indignant glare, Jiraiya just gloated. "No worries, citizen. It's all in a day's work for the Gallant Jiraiya! Ha ha ha!"

Deciding to end this little stupid party before he got involved, Sakumo spoke up, "Now we just need to call the Uchiha Police Force to come and--" Sakumo's voice caught in his throat as all three felt an incredibly powerful killing intent.

Looking over to the blond, all three watched in horror as Naruto bent forwards to stand on all fours. The red chakra surrounding him began to take shape of some kind of animal, but they couldn't tell what.

But before the boy could attack, the crystal around his neck began to glow an unearthly green light. The chakra around him started to recede back into his body and the boy cried in pain and then truly fell unconscious.

"Are you three all right?" called a worried voice behind them. The trio turned around and saw three other people coming down the road. Two were hurrying while the third was walking slowly with his hand held out in front of him, the necklace around his neck glowing with the same light as the other one.

"Sarutobi-sensei! Tsunade-hemi!" Jiraiya and Orochimaru called, glad to see their teacher with and their other teammate.

"I was so worried about you two!" Tsunade said hugging her teammates. "Don't ever run off like that again, Jiraiya-baka."

"I'm sorry, Tsu-hime. But I had to make sure Oro-teme would be okay," Jiraiya said.

"Why did that boy attack you?" Sarutobi asked Orochimaru.

"I don't know, sensei. We were in the hospital, he saw me, freaked out, chased me, and said I attacked Konoha and killed the third Hokage."

Sarutobi looked at the other adult. "What should we do, Hasirama-sama?"

The Shodai gazed at the unconscious blonde for a moment. "Bring him to cell 66. I would like to have a little talk with our guest."

IMPORTANT

The following are ages and timeline rules, so I can go ahead and get it out of the way to avoid any more confusion.

Naruto-13

Tsunade-13

Nawaki-8

Jiraiya-13

Orochimaru-13

Sakumo Hatake-17 (it never really gave an approximate age for him, but I think he was a few years older than the Sannin, so this seemed appropriate)

Sarutobi-31

Shodai-58

Nidaime-48

I will be following DBZ Future Trunks timeline rules. Meaning that whatever Naruto does in this past timeline won't affect his timeline.
