Chapter 2

"Huh? What do you mean "who's there?"?" asked the voice.

"Oh man I am going crazy!" Naruto yelled aloud.

"Ok kid, stop screwing around! Where the hell are we?" asked the voice, a little bit angrier this time.

"We? Who are you? Why are you inside my head?" Naruto kept asking loudly.

"Just shut up! People are starting to stare!" the voice pointed out. Naruto looked around to notice everyone looking at him. Even Sakura and Sasuke took notice. Naruto gave a nervous smile and ran towards the bathrooms.

"Gee, what do you think all that was about?" Sakura asked Sasuke mildly confused.

"I don't know. I always knew he was stupid. Didn't realize he was this mentally unstable." He responded.

Naruto ran into one of the stalls still somewhat embarrassed of what had just happened.

"Ok, seriously who the heck are you and why are you inside my head?" Naruto asked.

"You do realize you don't have to talk aloud so I can hear you. I can read your thoughts." The voice responded sounding a bit annoyed yet confused.

"What?" Naruto began to freak out, "So you're saying all those thoughts about Sakura, you were able to read them?"

"Again, you don't have to talk, much less yell, aloud! And yes, but what else would you expect from a 16 year old boy?" the voice snickered.

"16?" Naruto became even more confused, "I'm only 12."

"Wait, what? How can you be- oh now I get it."

"What? What?" Naruto asked nervously.

"I've come up with two conclusions. Either the Uchiha hit you so hard in the head you suffered severe brain damage and now believe you're 12."

"Or…?"

"Somehow you got sent back in time."

"What? No way! Time travel's impossible!"

"Do you really have to keep saying everything aloud? Just come in here."

"Come in where? And not until you answer my question! Who are you and why are you inside my head?"

"It seems you also lost all memory of the next four years. Oh damn it, fine I'll tell you. My name is Kurama and I'm not inside your head, I'm inside your being. You're my Jinchuriki."

"Kurama? Doesn't really answer my question but you also mentioned that I'm your Jinchuriki? Don't tell me you're…"

"The Nine-Tails? Yes, yes I am."

Naruto gulped. Here he was, talking to one of the most feared creatures to ever exist. The shock would've been worse if Mizuki hadn't already told him about his status as a Jinchuriki. Naruto sat there silently for a bit still taking all this in.

"You alright kid? Huh it's funny, first time we actually met you referred to me as 'Stupid Fox'. Where are those guts now?" Kurama mocked.

Before Naruto could respond someone knocked on the stall, "Hey are you almost done in there? Or are you going to keep talking to yourself?"

"I know that voice." Naruto thought. "Shut up Kiba!" he yelled. Kiba began to laugh and Akamaru could be heard barking. "Haha you're such an idiot! But seriously can you get out? I really need to go do my business."

"You're part dog aren't you? Go do it in the park!" he replied bitterly.

"I already have! But it's something the village frowns upon. Whatever I'll just hold it. Can't wait to tell Sakura about your dirty mind!" He said running off.

"Ah! No!" Naruto quickly chased after him but just like in their childhood, Kiba was still faster than him. He eventually lost Kiba and found himself on the path that led out of the village. He noticed Sakura sitting all by herself on the bench and he decided this would be the perfect time for one of his plots. He went behind a tree and emerged as Sasuke. He began to smirk internally as he approached Sakura. .

"I'm such an idiot!" Sakura thought to herself. "What would a hottie like Sasuke see in someone like me?" Someone whose forehead is so big it should be called, a ten-head. Her head dropped.

"Hey Sakura." said a familiar voice. Sakura quickly looked up and her face became hot. She saw 'Sasuke' smirking at her with his arms crossed and leaning up against a tree.

"Sa-Sasuke." She stuttered. He began to approach her and she felt her face getting even hotter. Is-is he really coming to talk to me? She thought.

"Sakura-." He said smoothly, "Your forehead. It's so big and beautiful. I just want to kiss it."

Sakura's whole face became red, "Am I dreaming?" She began to pinch herself.

"Nah just kidding. Only Naruto would say something like that. You alright?" asked 'Sasuke'.

"Oh yeah! I'm great just making sure this isn't one of my crazy fantasies." She began to laugh nervously.

"Mind if I take a seat?

"Oh yes please! Sit! Sit!" Sakura couldn't help but let out a squeal of delight. Sasuke had just complimented her, and on her forehead!

"Yes! She actually thinks I'm Sasuke!" Thought Naruto "If somehow I meet the person that came up with Transformation Jutsu, I am going to kiss them!"

"Hey Sakura-chan?" asked Sasuke, "Mind if I ask you something?"

"Sure Sasuke-kun, whatever you'd like!" she said smiling sweetly, something Naruto wasn't used to.

"What do you think of Naruto?"

Her smile quickly faded, "I hate how he loves to interfere with my love life. I think he likes watching me struggle. He doesn't know a thing about me. He's just annoying!"

"She thinks I'm annoying!" He thought.

"Saw that coming." Kurama said. "You're still infatuated with this girl?"

"Of course I am! I've had a crush on her since the first year of the academy."

"Didn't seem that way when you were holding the Hyuga girl's hand."

"I did what now?"

"Haha never mind, I guess some things are better left as a surprise." He said with a smirk.

His stomach suddenly felt awful. If he didn't find a bathroom in the next ten seconds, he was going to do something the village apparently frowned upon.

"Sasuke?" asked Sakura.

"Oh what? Sorry Sakura, I gotta get going! I'll be back!" He responded quickly getting up.

"Did you not just hear a word I just said?"

"Oh yeah I did; Naruto, annoying, love life. Yeah that's great I'll see you in a bit." He yelled as he ran off.

"I was talking about after that!" she yelled back. She sat back down and sighed, "It was worth a shot."

Naruto quickly made his way into one of the bathroom stalls and pulled down his pants. "Why is this happening?"

"You drank expired milk moron." Kurama responded.

"What? How do you know?" Naruto asked.

"Because unlike you I remember this. I remember the next four years. Not every little detail but the important stuff, yes."

"Then why didn't you warn me about the milk?" he asked infuriated.

"Well for starters I was asleep and even if I was awake, where's the fun in that?"

"You're a jerk." Naruto growled, "Wait so if you know everything that's going to happen maybe you can help me find a way to make Sakura like me!"

"Yeah...you're on your own kid. I'm not much of a wingman being a giant demon fox and all. I like the Hyuga girl you were staring at better anyways."

"Hinata?" Naruto asked, "Hey I wasn't staring at her! I just happened to doze off while looking towards her direction."

"Sure kid, sure!"

"Seriously! Shut up you stupid fox."

"Hehe there are those guts."
