Chapter 2 - I am Him but not Him!
"Kakashi Sensei?!"
Naruto stood still in shock. The man hesitated to reply.
"Uuuhh, yy-yes ...and no!" he response. Naruto frowned. "I am not your sensei." he held his both hands in front of him. Naruto getting confused even more.
"What do you mean you're not my sensei?" then he realized. Kakashi was supposed to be dead. If he is dead then that means...
Naruto pulled out his kunai and put up his battle stance.
"Hey, hey hey! It's okay, I come in peace!" he tried to calm Naruto down.
"Who are you?!!" Naruto asked loudly as he keep his guard up to the guy in front of me.
"Like, I said. I'm Kakashi Hatake. But, I'm NOT your Kakashi Hatake!" he explained briefly. Naruto frowned even more by his words. "By the way, you can call me Kay." he held up his hand to Naruto as a greet. Naruto still unsure if this guy is friendly. He scanned every inches of the man's appearance. He has the same jonin vest and a mask covering his face, even the same hair style and Konoha headband and scarred left eye. But, his left eye is not a sharingan, only a simple red colored one. And, his eyes seems to be more...lively. Kay raised his eyebrow.
"Come on, don't leave me hangin'!" and the way he talks is also different. He sounds a lot more sociable than Kakashi always does. A lot more...interesting. Yet, Naruto won't risk to act foolish this time. He might be an imposter, using a transformation jutsu to look like him and he failed. But, he also didn't want to assume too much.
"How should I know if you weren't trying to trick me?" Naruto denied. "How will you convince me if you're not an imposter who disrespect the death of my sensei?" Kay raised an eyebrow.
"Okay, first of all, that was not nice,... at all. And, second of all, how long did you take to came up with such theatrical speech? and, finally... if you shake my hand, you might know the answer already." Kay still held up his hand, Naruto keeps staring at it. Not sure what to expect if he do what he told. "Now stop being rude, and Shake!" He feared he had no choice, the man offered peace towards him. Naruto slowly lowered his kunai and back to his normal stance. He paused for a moment, wondering what will happen if he accept the peace offering. It could be a trigger for a genjutsu, just trying to put him into illusion and kill him without everyone's notice or possibly to trap him and take away the kyuubi inside him, just like what would Akatsuki do. There might be it. There are very high chances that this guy might be a spy from Akatsuki. But, what if he is telling the truth, that he never want to do any harm. Cursed to himself where he might die stupidly to his own action, he silently swallowed his nerves and accept the handshake. Kay nodded as he smiled under his mask.
"There you go! Wasn't that hard, wasn't it?" he shake his hand and Naruto's, up and down. So far so good, there's no intention to harm each other at this point. But he still let his guard up even when Kay let his hand go. Kay scratches his neck, trying to figure out what to say. "So yeah, about the sudden confusion.." Naruto blinked.
"You probably thinking, why am I look like him? Okay, and this is not some sort of a transformation jutsu, alright?" Naruto blinked again, surprised by the convenient assumption. "You see...I, uuhhh...uuuhh, how do I say this?" he rubbed his chin while tapping his foot rapidly. Naruto quite distracted by how fast he taps his foot. "The reason, why...I look a lot like him...it's because..." he waved his hands around as he speaks. "I'm his actor."
A long awkward pause happen, Naruto still froze out of confusion. "Huh?" he said in a small tone. Kay sighed, dropped his both hands.
"Of course, you wouldn't understand. Well, the point is...that I am HIM but different. That's all I can say." he threw his hands up, gave up the explanation. Naruto nodded in doubt. Still confused of what in the world is going on. He said that he is Kakashi's actor? What does that even mean? But, since they make a friendly gesture, meaning it is safe enough to throw some questions.
"Sooo,... what brings you here? Uuuh... Kay, right? Why are you here? And, where did you came from?" Naruto adding up questions like there's no tomorrow. Kay raised his eyebrow by the questions, then he replied.
"I am here to save your sensei." he exclaimed, directly. Naruto frowned towards the statement.
"Excuse me?" he thought that this guy went insane. Why all of the sudden he planning to do that? What does he really want? And, what does he mean by 'saving his sensei'? Like, bring him back from the death? How? But, if he does that, why? What does he want from Kakashi? So many questions were floating across Naruto's head about this guy. He seems utterly suspicious and act like they both know each other so well. Naruto still hadn't trust this guy being all opened up to him, or was he stupid enough to let his guard down by someone that he never met. Or was Kay are the crazy one, thinking that he knew who he is and he might have mistaken him for someone else.
No! He doesn't seem that obviously stupid, wouldn't he? If not, what was he hiding? Or, was he actually telling the truth? Naruto hasn't feel comfortable enough to trust him. "Look, pal! I don't want to play any of your tricks by now! You should leave!" Kay's eyes went a bit wider, Naruto turn around ignoring.
"Hey, I was telling the truth! I have to save him!" he said in denial. Naruto stopped, and spun around.
"Really? You don't even know him. And in fact, you don't know anything about what you were saying." Naruto disputed.
"Of course, I know him. Basically, know everything about him." he said, defending himself.
"Oh is that so? If you do know him so much then, you might also know me as well, is that it? Well, hate to break it to you but, you don't know anything about me either." he turned away...
"Is that a challenge?" "GAAAH!!!!" Naruto jumped a few back away when Kay magically right in front of him. Kay looked at him with a competitive eyes, arms folded on his chest. He looked behind and back at Kay, astonished. Naruto stared at him with cautious.
"This guy is fast. Even faster than Kakashi Sensei." he thought, slightly amazed by the speed of the guy in front of him. But, still in defense mode. "He could've killed me when I have my guard down. No! Even when I'm in full caution, I don't think I could catch up to him. But, come to think of it. He could've just killed me earlier. So, why didn't he?"
"H-how did you...?"
"Well, I got some moves." He smirked. Even with his mask on, it still visible for Naruto to be annoyed. "I tell you what, if I could guess what's your likes and dislikes, was that enough to make you trust me?" He put up a sarcastic look on Naruto.
"Hm, what makes you think you know so much about me?" Naruto folded his arms in disbelieve. Kay smirked, he lowered his head to meet Naruto's eyes up close, cynically.
"Wanna bet?" that look on his eyes is already enough to make Naruto reach his boiling state. Naruto's eye twitched in disproval.
"Fine, then! We have deal!" and the bells rang, challenge accepted! *dingdingding*. " If you able to answer this one question, I will considered you a little bit. But, If you failed, then walk away and never come back." Naruto challenged him to it. Kay chuckled with pride.
"Deal!" then, let it begin!
"What is the one THING, that I like the most??!!" he pointed greatly towards Kay.
"Ramen." he answered it fast and easy. Naruto jawdropped.
"W-well, that's just too obvious. I mean, everyone loves ramen." he refused to accept defeat.
"Well, you talked back at me. That means you're triggered. And, that means is the truth." he said sarcastically. Naruto denied, he chuckled.
"Well, of course. That was just a trick question. I might believe that you able to figure it out." he said in pride. Kay chuckled arrogantly.
"Whatever you said, Lemonhead."
"Then, What was the one Thing that I love even more??!!" exaggerately doing a dramatical point to him.
"Ramen with double portions." he answered right away. Naruto jawdropped even more.
"Well, more than that???!!!!!" he dramatically point again. And, Kay answered, smirking.
"Double portion with extra eggs."
"More Than That???!!!!"
"Seaweed additions."
"More Than THAT!!!!!!"
"Extra beef with special fish topping."
"More Than THAT???!!!!"
"Free discount and tickets."
"MORE THAN THAT????!!!!!!!!!"
"Someone else treating you." *doooong* The bell toll. Naruto cornered himself to the tree in defeat. While Kay doing a pose with Meme Glasses and 'X Gon' Give It To Ya' song played in the background. Then, the song stopped as Kay took off the glasses and threw it away, sound of shattered glass was heard. "There it is. So,... we have our deal?" he said in victorious. Naruto slowly stood up with a long face.
"Hhhhhh,... I guess I have no choice."
"That's the spirit, Naruto." he motivated Naruto, giving a little side hug.
"And, you also know my name." he surrendered. Kay lifted his brows up and down twice. Then, he let go off Naruto and walked away. "But, how do you save him then? I mean, he's already dead. How do you save someone who is already dead?!" he doubted.
"Simple." "GAAHH!!!!" Kay appeared behind him again while holding something in his hand, tilting it around. Naruto gasped. "We go back through time."
"Would you stop...DOING that?!! And, Wait-...what did you say?!"
"We GO back through time." he said again while examining the thing his holding. Naruto begin to think he's starting to be delusional.
"THAT'S just ridiculous!!! How do you even supposed to do that??!! And, what do you mean by 'we'?!" he exclaimed in denial. Kay smiled at him. Then, he showed him the stuff his been holding. Naruto lifted his eyebrow at him. "What is that?"
"THIS,..Naruto! Is the answer!" he clicked a small button on it and the device turn shape from a cube into a ball. Naruto's eyes widened in awe.
"Woow!!!! That is cool! It's like... a super secret spy gadget."
"That's right! This here, is called The 'FUTURE'. Is a short for 'Fast Ultimatum Timetravel and Under Rated Estimation." Naruto blinked.
"Under Rated Estimation??"
"Because the government didn't approved." he shrugged. "Now, this will help us to go back through time and yes, I said 'we' because I need your help in order to save him. But, have this in mind! We only have one shot at this, so don't screw up!" Naruto looked away. He afraid that if he did failed to save him, then he will be gone forever.
"A-are you sure this is gonna work?" he stuttered at his words.
"No, I don't." Naruto threw his head down in disappointment. Kay patted his head to comfort him. Naruto looked up to him. He smiled down to Naruto. "But I'm sure we'll make it. So don't you worry too much!" He eye-smiled at him. Naruto could slightly felt the presence of his sensei when he smiled like that. He smiled back for response. Then, Naruto frowned.
"Wait! Uhm, why are you doing this again? Does he has something to do with you?" he asked, curiously. Kay opened his mouth, but not a single word came out. He hasn't found a good reason or explanation simple enough for Naruto to understand.
"W-well, you see-" he looked at the device in his hand, then an idea suddenly popped out. "I uuh...I came to fix the future. Yeah! You see, I came from another dimension, I mean you did see the purple beam, right?" Naruto nodded. "Right! So, I came from a dimension that uuh, filled with people who read the future!" Naruto getting too intrigued.
"Yes, that! And, I came here because...whatever happened to YOUR sensei, were happened to be not should have happen to be happened." he rolled his eyes as he counted the word 'happen' with his fingers, making sure if he even saying a good enough sense. He shrugged away, though.
"Wait! You mean, Kakashi sensei wasn't supposed to be dead?" Naruto's mind blown. Kay pointed at him in approval.
"Correct!" he froze by that fact. If Kakashi Sensei wasn't suppose to die, then what actually happened back then.
"If he wasn't, then how did he-"
"Weeell, that part is basically my friend's fault." he added. Naruto tilted his head.
"Your friend?"
"Yeah, uuuhhh...something in this dimension that were not suppose to be here were creating some chaos that caused the script to-...I mean, uuh...our CARDS...yeah, it caused our future reading cards to be disoriented, more like broke the future." he explained, semi-lying to Naruto. Naruto put his fingers on his chin and closed his eyes, trying to process of what he just said.
"So, you're here to fix the future...by saving Kakashi sensei...and retrieve the thing that caused a chaos for the future?" he concluded. Kay clapped and pointed him.
"YES!!! That's it! That's why I'm here! To Fix The Future!!" he approved Naruto's conclusions. "Good thing he's stupid." he thought to himself. Naruto smiled at him.
"Then, you can count on me. I WILL help you save Kakashi sensei and fix the future!" Naruto pointed greatly to himself. If this the only way to save his sensei, then so be it. Kay nodded.
"Now, that's the true spirit. And, I think you understand of what you need to do, right?" Naruto closed his eyes, confused.
"Uuuhh-"
"Good!" he grabbed Naruto's hand and pressed the device. The area around begin to looked twisted in swirls. Naruto glances around, astonished. Wondering what has happening.
"Uummm, Kay? What is happening?" Naruto slightly worried.
"Fear not, my friend! It just gonna give a slight nauseas or not at all."
"Have you ever done this before?"
"Nope. But, I do ever fly on rocket. And it's almost has the same feeling... and it's getting a little dizzy." he shook his head in a slight.
"You ever fly a rocket? What are you? An alien or something?"
"Trust me! If I was an alien, I will kidnapped Trump." Naruto give him the dumb face. "Forget of what I just said. Now remember! We only got one shot at this! Make it count!" Naruto gulped, he took a deep breath and prepared for the worst.
"Alright, hold on to your butts!" he twisted the ball sideways, and soon everything begin to spin around in great speed. Naruto panicked a bit, he looked at Kay.
"Kaayy???!!!!"
"I'll meet you there!" he shout out to him. then, everything went white.
