[A/N: Hey! I'm back and haven't ditched these stories. Well, if people are still reading this, thanks for still following. I've been somewhat busy and out of ideas. So, yeah, this is going to be a short chapter, just to tell that I haven't abandoned anything yet. My other stories are going to be updated soon.]
Past and Future Collides: Chapter 4
Sasuke was taken by surprise when he heard his name being called out. 'Naruto...how in the world?..' He thought but quickly dismissed the thought. The raven-haired boy had already seen what Naruto could do earlier. He warily walked out of the nearby bush.
Naruto saw the figure walking to the ramen stand. 'Sasuke, I promise that I shall change your fate.' Sasuke sat in the seat beside the blonde. The two sat in a comfortable silence for a while. Yet, neither boy tried to start a conversation.
Teuchi, the ramen shop owner, looked over at the newcomer. "Now, what would you like?" He asked directly at Sasuke.
The reply was with the simple coolness, "Beef ramen, please." Sasuke had responded politely. He braced himself for a taunt from Naruto, but none came. The whole 'new' Naruto was hard to get used to. All he could really remember was the loud-mouthed, idiotic, simple-minded blond.
A few minutes later, Teuchi returned, with two large bowls of ramen. "Itadakimasu!" Naruto thanked in delight. Seriously, how long was the last time he ate ramen, much less, when was the last time he ate? Quickly grabbing a pair of chopsticks, he dug in.
Sasuke thanked the shop owner as he too, began to eat the ramen.
The two ate in silence once more. Not surprising Naruto, Sasuke stopped eating for a moment spoke first. "What's going on, Naruto? What happened in the forest?" For once, he did not add the -dobe suffix to the blond-haired's name.
Naruto stopped as well. If he were to give an honest opinion, he would've said that he didn't know whether he should tell Sasuke or not. Sighing, he secretly used a few eye seals. This jutsu was specifically to not let anyone else hear their conversation, much like a genjutsu, making others think that the two were eating with no verbal contact.
The blond-haired boy began to explain a few key things. "You do know who the sannin was, correct?" He began.
Sasuke just nodded.
"He was going to give you the heaven mark," Sasuke raised an eyebrow at this, "The mark that will give you immense power, while also eating away at your soul. Orochimaru wanted to use you as his new body." Naruto glared at nothing in particular, "And you would've of agreed because of your 'vengeance' against your brother, Itachi. You wanted more power." Sasuke's eyes widened when he heard the name of his older forsaken brother. How in the world did Naruto know? Back at the Hidden Mist Village, all Sasuke had revealed was the person he needed to kill, not the name.
Naruto watched the surprised actions of the Uchiha boy. It was really the time to reveal what happened to Itachi. "You're brother, was a great person. The clan wasn't murdered by just him. Itachi just followed the orders of some of the mindless higher tiers. He was ordered to kill the whole clan, since the superiors suspected that there was going to be an overthrowing within village. Danzo ordered Itachi to murder the entire Uchiha Clan. But he couldn't bare to kill you, Sasuke. Even your mother and father, he had a hard time and decision to kill them." Naruto sighed as he saw Sasuke glare at the ground, sadness in his eyes.
"How do you know this?" Demanded the raven-haired boy, after a moment of silence, "And how are you an ANBU?"
The blonde sighed again, he didn't want to lie, but this wasn't the time to tell Sasuke about the future. "Your brother was the one who trained me at an early age. He told me everything right before he left. I am an undercover ANBU deployed but the sandaime to protect you for harm, especially from Orochimaru." No regrets now. What was said, was done. Sasuke should have some time to intake all this information before other things are revealed.
Sasuke, on the other hand, was finding all this hard to believe. His older brother had trained Naruto? Was that why Itachi was usually late coming home?
A white bird in the sky caught the eye of Naruto. Quickly dispersing the genjutsu around them, he dropped the money for the ramen. "Sasuke, I'll see you later." He told the other boy with his usual cold-tone. Using Hiraishin, he flashed to the rendezvous point for the meeting.

Kakashi, Hiruzen, , the requested ANBU and surprisingly Jiraiya were all present. Maybe, not exactly all present at the point, since the super-pervert Jiraiya was peeking in the women's bathhouse again. With a slight twitch on Naruto's forehead, he smacked the toad-sennin, hard...very hard on the head.
"OWW! What was that for gaki?!" The white-haired sennin yelled as he turned around, "I was researching! Did you have to-" the sight of his old sensei caught him off guard. "Hiruzen-sensei? What are you doing here?"
The sandaime chuckled as he turned to Naruto, "How did you manage to get him here?"
The blond shrugged, "He was being perverted again, Hokage-sama." Was the straight answer.
Kakashi and the three ANBU bowed, "Jiraiya-sama" they greeted.
Naruto didn't mind the greetings exchanged. He quickly ran through some hand seals and after slamming his hand on the ground, two people appeared, making everyone flinch.
"Shizune, where-" the blonde woman looked around in surprise. How in the world did they manage to get here? They were just in the middle of going to the next gambling pub. Tsunade looked in at the sandaime. "Hiruzen-sensei?"
The Sandaime smiled again. It was very exciting that he saw two of his former students with in front of him.
Tsunade turned and saw the other sannin, "Jiraiya?! Why are you here?"
The answer was a shrug and an accusing finger pointed to the 12-year old boy. "Ask him!"

Kakashi was taken aback to see two of the three legendary sannin here. He thought back to how Naruto summoned the two females. 'Naruto, how advanced had you gotten in the future? What really happened?' No doubt that the blonde had a striking resemblance to his former teacher, Minato Namikaze, the Yodaime.

Naruto was both happy and upset seeing his teacher. In the future, Jiraiya had died by the hands of the Akatsuki. He still remembered sobbing for his lost. Jiraiya was the closest thing there was to a father he had.
"Jiraiya-sensei.." He managed at first, catching everyone off guard and stopped their chatting, "Could you summon ma and pa from Mt. Myoboku?"
Jiraiya was surprised, very surprised. How did this boy know of the secret region? As if reading his mind, Naruto quickly added, "It's something that happens in the future..I promise I will explain after everyone is present."
