Jiraiya walked into the village with Naruto young adult sprinting ahead, he walked up the pole and shouted "Hey everyone Naruto Uzumaki is back!"
The group of time travellers watched in interest.
Sasuke eyed the scene carefully "You went somewhere?"
Naruto shrugged, "Well if I left the village, then you're DEFINITELY gone."
Sakura glared at him "How do you figure that one out?"
Naruto sighed and pulled out a chart from no where, "Look research shows that Uchiha's don't like to be bested at ANYTHING, so if I left the village there is a 75% chance Sasuke left as well, also from looking through my own notes and recordings it shows that Sasuke believes myself to be inferior to him and therefore would want to be exceedingly better. Kinda sad actually."
They flipped through Naruto's charts.
Kakashi Sensei blinked in surprise "Wow these are pretty thorough."
Iruka looked in puzzlement "Where did you get those charts from?"
Naruto shrugged "Dunno sometimes stuff just appears out of nowhere for me."
An uneasy silence took hold.
Minato coughed "Riiighhhtt, OK anyway lets henge all ready so we can find out if Sasuke left the village or not. Yeah?."
The group nodded and one transformation jutsu later with hasty slapping of mini-Kakashi by Obito to stop him gazing at Hana they headed towards Naruto young adult and Sakura young adult who were conversing nicely... until she punched him twenty feet away.
Naruto squeaked hiding behind Obito in fear, Rin whistled appreciative oh her strength, the other guys shuddered, Iruka coughed lightly trying to get the scary pink haired young women's attention.
She smiled over sweetly at him, "Can I help you?" he shivered at the death aura radiating off her.
He swallowed and asked "Uh yeah I was wondering where we could find Sasuke Uchiha?..."
The silence was grim.
The tension thickening until you could cut it with a knife.
Young adult Naruto exhaled, "Don't worry kid I'll bring him back from Orochimaru even if he doesn't want to come home."
To say Sasuke was a bit surprised would be covering lightly, his jaw literally dropped in shock, Obito pulled him with Gaara's sand helping by shoving him away whilst Iruka politely thanked them for information and shuffled away.
Zabuza grinned "So you ran off to join the cross dressing psycho huh? And I thought Itachi was bad."
Sasuke grit his teeth, "I didn't.. I wouldn't but..."
Naruto laughed "Hate to say it but told ya!"
They in return glared at him, except Gaara who no-one could really tell if he made any attempt at expression change, Sasuke looked like he was going to be sick "I run off voluntarily to join a fifty year old crazy hick with a passion for giving life threatening piercings! With hobbies that include sculpting live bodies!"
At that point Sasuke was hyperventilating, "What the hell was I on?!"
Kakashi was busy plucking a daisy in a dream like state humming "She loves me, she loves me not..."
Naruto listed off his fingers "My guess weed, though it could be something else as it's really hard to keep track with you Sasuke. I mean the last time I checked your stash was three months ago, who knows what you're on now.
" Sasuke glared at him, "For the hundredth time that was in Itachi's room! AND WILL YOU STOP SNOOPING IN MY HOUSE!"
Naruto dismissed him "Eh No promises."
Minato yawned "So... since this moment is completely awkward... Are we gonna try a different time era now?"
Iruka watched him carefully "You know for a Hokage you're rather irresponsible."
Minato grinned "Well after deciding the likely hood of us ending up back in the right places is next door to nothing, I figure we should chill and enjoy the ride! Plus I don't like this time period."
Rin was surprised "Why?!"
Minato pouted "Cuz my son's not dating his future wife yet which means no ample teasing opportunity's. Duh!"
Zabuza responded first "Riiiigggghht. Anyway..."
Naruto jumped up and down "Can I do the jutsu! Please, please, please, please, pretty please with gummy bears, chocolate sprinkles and a cherry on top!"
Gaara blanched "Naruto that's just sickening."
Ignoring that comment Naruto went starry eyed "PLEASE DADDY!"
Minato bit his lip, "AHHH! I cannee resist the foxy eyes! Of course ya can!"
Obito blinked "Foxy eyes?..."
Minato shrugged "More appropriate than puppy eyes considering his ah.. Furry little problem and all."
Rin angered like a feral cat "SENSEI! WE TOLD YOU TO LAY OFF THE HARRY POTTER BOOKS!"
Sasuke groaned "Oh god he's actually reading those? Don't bother, trust me it's not worth the effort."
Sakura looked at him oddly "So does that mean you read them all?"
Sasuke paled "Er of course not! Itachi read them to me! I mean... I was bored! Ah crap... um Look over their Orochimaru invaded the village disguised as his psychotic ex student Anko!"
Haku tutted "Like that's gonna work."
Strangely enough Anko poofed back into Orochimaru "CURSES! Why is it every time I try to invade a village I'm discovered?! I will be back with my sex to- I MEAN apprentice Sasuke! Muhahahahaha!"
He threw a smoke bomb and when the smoke cleared they watched him run out the gate.
Sasuke stared hyperventilating again even with the girls comforting him.
Kakashi Sensei turned his eye into it's casual upside down shape "I think we should go before Sasuke wets himself."
Everyone swore they heard a quiet "Too late."
But chose to ignore it.
Naruto grinned "OK gather round! Ehem!" I-Inu-Hitsuji-Tatsu-Uma-Tori-Tora "Ninja art-"
Minato shouted "Bite your thumb! For the love of Tsunade sama BITE YOUR THUMB!"
Naruto complied chuckling sheepishly, "Ninja art time travelling jutsu."
Their surroundings melted away, the village looked a lot more underdeveloped than expected, even when they had gone back to Jiraiya's genin days it looked better than it did now. Zabuza groaned "Damn and here I was hoping to get back to the mist village..."
Obito got all shifty eyed "No-body say anything about the missing you-know-what."
Gaara raised an invisible eyebrow "You-know-what what?"
Confused Kakashi snapped out of his love filled stupor as Hana's presence was no longer detectable resuming his usual impassive mask "What do you know about the you-know-what?"
Intrigued Haku joined in "What are you referring to as the you-know-what?"
Naruto looked confused, -swirly eyes- "What's all this talkabout what the you-know-what is about, cuz I don't what the you-know-what is!"
Iruka blinked owlishly "Uh what?"
Obito pulled on his hair in frustration "I'M TALKING ABOUT THE ABSENCE OF SMOKE!"
POOF!
They were smothered in bright blue smoke.
Sasuke cursed "What did you have ta mention it for!"
Obito crouched in the corner -anime tears and gloom- with Rin shushing him before she stood up straightening her skirt "So when are we?"
Sasuke sighed "Oh how I miss conversations that didn't start with when are we?"
Minato grinned "Then in that case I saved you from boring!"
Sasuke muttered "Boring is good at times like this."
Sakura glanced at the Hokage monument only to find there wasn't one...
"Uh is that right?"
Minato followed her line of vision and eeped "Uh boys, girls, and missing nin. I believe we have landed when Sarutobi was a genin himself."
He closed his eyes bracing for the yells of horror, when none came, he cracked an eye open to suspiciously find everyone standing as if he'd said nothing. "Um did you hear what I just said?"
Kakashi Sensei gazed up from his book "Oh we heard."
Sakura examined her finger nails "We just don't care."
Minato face faulted, "Don't you understand how serious this is! One false step and we could destroy the leaf village! Or even worse stop Sarutobi becoming Hokage!"
Iruka raised an eyebrow "And you're point is?..."
Minato face palmed himself.
Naruto stretched "Hey it's not a problem believe it! We'll just do what we've been doing all along."
Gaara looked at him sceptically "Oh and what's that? Prank, run, get caught, laugh, be beaten up by homicidal girls, then repeat."
Naruto smiled, Obito wiped a tear from his eye, "Our little baby is all grown up! And I promised myself I wouldn't cry!"
Iruka put in "You know it sounded like a shampoo advertisement the way he said it."
Naruto patted his back "Don't worry son you're time will come when you're of age to."
Zabuza and Haku sweat dropped "You're insane... All of you complete wack jobs."
Naruto faced them with a maniacal grin "Don't worry you will cross over to the dark side."
The girl's shrieked until Sakura punched him "IDIOT! Stop holding that damn torch under your face!"
Sasuke added "You know you may wanna take it easy on the dobe's brain cells, he is future Hokage after all."
Sakura cracked her knuckles "What was that?"
Sasuke stepped back "Nothing dear."
Obito, Naruto, Iruka, Kakashi -though trying to cover it- laughed.
Naruto smiled "Dude you are so whipped!"
Minato flicked him "Hey trust me even though we never met your wife women are scary when angry."
Naruto waved him off "Please sweet little Hinata? Tch She'll be a calm wifey."
Kakashi Sensei muttered "Yeah. So was your mum, then guess what? She got pregnant and hi ho it went downwards from there."
Naruto shivered, "Anyway gang lets go and corrupt the old man Hokage!"
Rin shied back "Isn't it wrong trying to corrupt him because he'll be younger and more impressionable and most likely a moody teenager."
Sasuke, Obito, Naruto, Kakashi, Gaara, Iruka all shared a look before answering "Nah."
