Mwahahaha, this story is getting so many reviews! I love you all! Your reviews are what keep me typing, 'cause otherwise I'd probably be sleeping right now...yay insomnia! ONWARD TO THE STORY!!!
Naruto was about to respond to Kuchi's message when he heard a knock. This knock wasn't comming from where you expected it to come from...or from where I think you're guessing it came from. I really can't know now can I? This knock came from the window. Naruto, not the least bit suprised, opened up his window and saw his former sensei sticking to the side of the building.
"Hi Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto greeted him, "What're you doing here?"
"I'm not your sensei anymore Naruto," Kakashi said lightheartedly, "You can stop calling me Kakashi-sensei now."
"I know," Naruto said, rubbing the back of his head, "Old habits die hard I guess." Kakashi then gracefully jumped into Naruto's appartment.
"I just stopped by to see how you were doing," Kakashi said as he sat in an extra chair, "You know, making sure you were brushing your teeth, changing your underwear, not dieing from sodium poisoning. The usual."
Naruto visably twitched at Kakashi's remark, "Geese, you sound more like a mother than a sensei," he mumbled to himself. Unfortunatly, Kakashi (with his mad super hearing) heard his statement.
"Now Naruto," The silver-haired man said, "you should be flattered by the amount of concern I'm showing you. And besides, I'd at least be your father because last time I checked I wasn't a woman." As Naruto gaped like a fish out of water, his ex-sensei's only visable eye fell upon the notebook still lying on the table. He idly picked it up and asked, "What's this? Has little Naruto decided to keep a diary?"
"No way Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto protested as he snached Kuchi from the older man's hand.
"Oh, sorry," Kakashi said with a (non-visable smile) "only girls have diaries. So Naruto, is that your journal then?"
Naruto would have snapped back at Kakashi if he wasn't deep in thought. 'Should I tell him about Kuchi?' he thought, 'he would totally think I was crazy...but then again, if I showed him that it works, he would have to believe me. And I can trust sensei...right?' He was abrubtly awakened from his musings by Kakashi waving a hand infront of his face.
"Naruto, you still with me?" the jounin asked, Naruto blinked for a second the nodded, "You zoned out there. So, what's in the notebook?"
Naruto gathered all of his willpower to remain calm and serious while he tried to explain, "I found this notebook the other day when I was coming home from Ichiraku's. I don't know where it came from, but I opened it up and there was this note saying that it was a magic notebook that knew everything. So I was like, 'yeah right, that's stupid' but it was true! I asked it a question, just to test it out, and it answered me Kakashi-sensei! It really works!"
There was a rather awkward silence after that, which was quickly broken by Kakashi, "Naruto, are you sure that wasn't a dream?" Naruto immediatly lost his resolve.
"Of course it wasn't a dream!" he said, a little steamed, "I know what's a dream and what's not!"
"Right, like the time you said you where attacked by evil trees."
"That's different! That dream was really realistic and I had had some bad milk that night and it messed me up. But this is different Kakashi-sensei, this book answers your questions!"
"If you're so sure, would you mind if I tried it out?" Kakashi asked, not believing it for a second. Naruto nodded and handed the notebook and a pen to Kakashi. The jounin opened the book up to a random page, and with a smug smile on his face, wrote a simple question.
"What is my name?"
He then sat back and stared at the page. After a moment, his eyes flickered up to Naruto's face, "Well," he said, "nothing's happening."
"You've gotta close the book, then open it again," Naruto explained. Kakashi sighed and closed the notebook, the reopened it to the same page. Now at this point we must give Naruto some credit. Where he was only shocked stiff when he saw Kuchi resond to his question, Kakashi actually fell out of his chair when he saw the words under his own.
"Wow, you don't know your own name? That's pretty sad. I mean, sure it's not a common name but I don't think you would be able to easily forget your name if it was Hatake Kakashi. Your parents have a thing for farms or something?"(1)
Kakashi (after getting back onto his chair) stared at the message for a second. He quickly checked for any type of jutsu being used. Bafled at the lack of any jutsu traces, the copy-ninja looked at the smug face of his former student.
"Naruto, how is this notebook talking to me, and why is it giving me lip?"
(1) Kuchi is making fun of Kakashi's name. 'Hatake' means 'feild' and 'Kakashi' means 'scarecrow'.
Yes! Kuchi strikes again! What will Kakashi do now that he knows Kuchi isn't all that he seems? How is Kuchi actually talking? Was Naruto really attacked by evil trees? Keep reading and find out!
