Second chapter! Please enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Minato was on a mission with his team when he felt a sudden flare of chakra in the forest. He gestured to his team. "Follow me."
"What is it?" Obito asked as they hopped through the trees. "Why are we going this way?"
Kakashi rolled his eyes. "Dobe. Didn't you feel that chakra?"
"Teme! No, I didn't."
"Dobe."
"Teme!"
"Shut up," Rin ordered, glaring at the boys, her face flushing a bit as she looked at Kakashi. She turned away.
Minato stopped and silenced them. "Shh. Look."
They saw four people lying unconscious in a clearing. There was a girl with pink hair, a boy with blond hair and whiskers, another boy with black hair, and a man with a mask, silver hair, a hatai covering one eye, and one arm.
"Hey, that man looks a lot like you, Kakashi-teme!" Obito noted, and hopped down from the tree. They all stared down in shock. "Obito!"
He looked up at them. "What? They're unconscious." He nudged the Kakashi look-alike with his toe. "It's not like they're going to do anything to me. Plus, they're Konoha ninja." He pointed to their hatai. "They're not enemies."
"Obito, I've never seen these ninja in my life," Minato said. "And I think I'd notice if I saw one of them. They're obviously spies."
The Kakashi look-alike suddenly opened his eye. Obito flinched and stepped away. He pushed himself up partly with his one arm and stared at Obito for a few seconds. The ninja in the trees tensed, waiting for what would happen next.
He creased his eye in a smile. "Yo!" he greeted, lifting his arm to wave, only to have nothing holding him up, and he slammed back into the ground.
Team Minato sweatdropped.
'This guy,' Kakashi thought, 'Is a complete idiot.'
'I take back what I said about this guy being like Kakashi,' Obito thought. 'Kakashi would never be caught doing something like that.'
'Who is he?' Minato wondered.
'His arm... How did he lose it?' Rin thought to herself.
The man pushed himself back up, muttering under his breath. "Note to self: no waving while holding myself up with my arm." He smiled at Obito. "Hey, could you help me up?"
"Oh- yeah." He broke out of his trance and pulled him up, so he was in a sitting position.
"Thanks!" He stood up and looked at his sleeping companions. "How to do this..."
He then bent down and whispered something into the blond boy's ear. His eyes shot open and he scrambled up. "Noooooo! Don't take my ramen!" He then blinked, taking in his surroundings. "Wha- Hey! You tricked me!" he shouted, pointing at the silver haired man, who was smiling innocently.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
The boy sighed. "Whatever. I'm not going to waste my time arguing with you when I know it'll go nowhere. Did it work?"
"Look over here." The man guestured to Obito, who was watching this exchange curiously. He adjusted his goggles nervously, feeling their eyes on him.
"... Who are you?" The boy asked, and Obito grinned at him.
"My name's Uchiha Obito, and I'm the best ninja ever! If you're a spy, you don't stand a chance!" he exclaimed jubilantly, and everyone around that was awake sweatdropped.
'Really, Obito?' went through all their minds.
The boy grinned at him. "All right! It worked! I'm Nar-"
"This is Naro Ranaki. My name's Kako Somoto, and the sleepyheads are Saso Emohite, and Sakura Chinai." The man, Kako, interrupted. "Now, who are they?" he said, pointing to the people in the trees. They were shocked for a second, before resigning and stepping out into the clearing.
"I'm Minato Namikaze," Minato said warily.
"My name's Rin." Rin smiled at the strangers.
"Kakashi Hatake," Kakashi said.
Naro burst into laughter.
"Hey, what's so funny?" Obito asked.
"Hahahahahahahaha! Chibi Kakashi! Hahahahahahahaha!"
Kakashi twitched.
Older Kakashi snickered as Naruto laughed at his younger self. It was funny, seeing him so annoyed. Even though it probably wouldn't have been funny to him when he was that age.
He'd never get another chance like this again, though. It was now his new resolution to annoy little Kakashi as much as possible for the next week or so.
"Naro, stop laughing at the poor, chibi Kakashi. It's not his fault he's so short." Obito burst into laughter as chibi Kakashi glared at him.
"I'm not short!" he burst, turning to Naruto. "You're shorter than me!"
Oh yeah, he forgot. Apparantly they were 4 years younger now, and Naruto was not the tallest 12 year old around.
Kakashi covered one ear with his hand and closed his eye in mock agony. "Maa, you're so loud, chibi Kakashi. Have pity on the man who is incapable of covering both his ears and quiet down."
Now even Minato and Rin were laughing, and Kakashi looked like he was about to explode.
Sakura chose this time to wake up. "Ugh..." she mumbled, then widened her eyes as she took in the scene around her. Naruto and three people she didn't know were laughing as a little Kakashi fumed and Kakashi-sensei smiled at her innocently. "Ah, Sakura-chan, you're awake."
She gave him a look. "What did you do now?"
"Me?" he asked indignantly. "Why would you think ~I~ did something? Who's to say it's not chibi Kakashi's fault?" Little Kakashi growled at this.
She stared at him incredulously. "Oh, no reason, just that everyone's laughing and little Kakashi's staring at you like you killed his dog, or something. Plus, it's always your fault," she added.
"I'm not little! Why does everyone keep saying that?" little Kakashi yelled.
Kakashi clutched his hand to his chest and gave her a fake heartbroken look. "Maa, Sakura-chan, how cruel. How could you say such a thing to your wonderful sensei?"
"Wonderful. Sure." She then turned to Naruto. "So, what happened?"
"Kako-sensei woke up first, then he woke up Naro by telling him that Saso-teme took all his ramen, which was mean, by the way, then he made chibi Kakashi mad by calling him chibi Kakashi. Then you woke up."
Chibi Kakashi was held back by Minato as he tried to attack him.
"Ah, I see. And why is Naro speaking in the third person?" she mocked, although she already knew it was to let her know their new names. Apparently, judging by how Kakashi-sensei addressed her, she kept her name.
"Because Naro wants to!" Naruto retorted, sticking his tongue out at her.
Sasuke then groaned and opened his eyes. "Where am I?"
Naruto ran over to him. "Saso, you've got to help us! Chibi Kakashi wants to kill us!"
"Huh?" He sat up to see the little Kakashi, his face fuchsia red. "Wait... Why is Kakashi so small?"
...
"I'm going to kill you!" he shouted, taking out a kunai and throwing it at them. Kakashi-sensei reached out with his one hand and caught it.
"Be careful, chibi Kakashi. Knives are sharp. You could hurt someone," he lectured, and put the kunai in his kunai pouch.
"Hey! That's mine!" Chibi Kakashi shouted.
"What is?" Kakashi-sensei asked innocently.
"The kunai!"
He stared at the boy blankly. "I know it's mine."
"Not yours! Mine! Hatake Kakashi's!"
"Yes. I'm Kakashi Hatake." Kakashi-sensei smiled at the furious boy.
"No you aren't! I am!" Chibi Kakashi was outraged.
"What?!" Kakashi gasped dramatically. "Who are you, and why are you pretending to be me?!"
Minato decided to interrupt before his student killed Kako. "Who are you? Where do you come from?" Chibi Kakashi calmed down and looked at them curiously.
"Ah..." Kako scratched the back of his head. "Well, my name's Kako Somoto, and these are my students, Naro Ramaki, Saso Emohite, and Sakura Chinai. We come from Konoha."
"Liar," Minato deadpanned, causing the four strangers to sweatdrop. "I know most of the ninja in Konoha, and I know I would recognize any of you. I don't. So tell me, where do you really come from?"
He sighed. "I guess I have no choice but to tell the truth." He waved off his students' incredulous stares. "Now, now, they were going to find out sooner or later. Why not sooner?"
"But-" Naro started.
"We live in a small village," he began, ignoring Naro. "It's not a very well known village; in fact, very few living people know it exists. This is because everyone there has a certain bloodline. It's a rare, special bloodline, yet extremely dangerous if it falls into the wrong hands. This is why we prefer to keep ourselves secret.
"We can see the future.
"The reason us four came here is because we saw something terrible happening extremely soon that will cause Konoha to become ruins in less than twenty years. We were sent by our elders to prevent this tragedy from happening, by masquerading as Konoha nin. On our way here, though, we were ambushed. The enemy did something that knocked us out without harming us. Before you ask, I'm not sure what. I think they knew just where we come from. We don't know what happened next, but next thing we knew, we woke up in this clearing with you guys." He looked solemnly at team Minato's stunned faces. "Awfully coincidental, considering you're the ones in the heart of what we're trying to prevent."
...
"Pretty big words you're using there, sensei," Sakura noticed, relieved. For a moment she had thought that Kakashi-sensei would tell them all about being from the future. "Are you trying to sound smart or something?"
His whole persona changed as he beamed at her. "Why, yes, Sakura-chan! Did it work?"
"No," Sasuke deadpanned, and Kakashi-sensei pouted.
"How cruuuel, Saso-kun! When did my cute little students lose all their respect for me?" he whined.
"Respect?" Sakura cocked her head in mock confusion. "What respect?"
"Don't blame Saso, Kako-sensei. You never sound smart," Naruto told him, and Sasuke smirked.
"You're one to talk, Dobe."
Naruto turned to Sasuke angrily. "Grrrrr! Teme!"
"Shut up!" Sakura shouted, hitting them both in the head, then turned to the frozen team Minato. "Sorry about them. They're just idiots."
"Hey!"
Obito was the first to break out of his stupor. "Woah! You can see the future? Cool! What's my future like? I bet I'm gonna be really strong, huh?"
"Oh, very," Kako told him. "You will be one of the strongest ninja in the world."
Obito fist pumped. "Yatta!"
"Plus, you'll wear a lollipop mask everywhere," Naro added, and he lowered his arm, confused. "Huh?"
Kako turned to the rest of the team. "For you guys, before you ask. Minato's son will be a fox, Rin will change someone, and chibi Kakashi will talk to a rock every day."
They all looked at him like he was crazy.
"Change someone?" Rin asked. "Change who? And how?"
"What do you mean, a fox?" Minato demanded. "Why would I ever have a fox as a son?"
"Lollipop mask?!" Obito cried. "What the heck am I thinking?"
Chibi Kakashi snorted. "As if I'd ever talk to a rock any time, let alone every day. And I'm not chibi!" he shouted as an afterthought.
Kako's eye crinkled. "Rin: you'll see. Minato: I don't know. Maybe you just like foxes. Obito: don't worry. It's a very pretty mask. Kakashi: You're not alone. I talk to this one rock all the time. It's actually a very good conversationalist. Always listens, never interrupts, never argues. And yes, you are chibi."
They stared at him. "Do you even have a shred of sanity?" chibi Kakashi asked.
His three students snorted as Kako smiled at them. "Sanity? Who needs sanity? I lost that a long time ago."
They sweatdropped.
"Well," Minato told them, "Even if you say you're trying to save Konoha, we still have to take you to the Hokage."
Kako nodded, understanding. "Of course. Lead the way."
And that was the second chapter! I hope you liked! Please review!
