Chapter 3: An End To The Madness
"What the heck was that all about?" Naruto asked Iruka after being pulled out of the building. His former teacher looked rather nervous.
"Naruto, I believe that woman in the problem." he said in a serious tone.
"She is strange," Naruto began, "but what makes you think so?"
"A few things. First of all, that strange feeling we experience at my house was a type of genjutsu. It alters the mind that allows the ninja performing it to add false memories into their target. She seems to be some kind of master of it, as she can affect the Hokage." Naruto nodded in agreement.
"But how are we immune to its effect?"
"I think it's due to-" Iruka looked around to make sure no one was close by, "-the nine-tailed fox inside of you. I think it's protecting you from it."
"Okay... but what about you?"
"That I'm not entirely sure about. Maybe because you were seeking me out, you were subconsciously extending the fox's power to me as well."
"I can do that?" Naruto said, a little excited.
"Sorry, it was just a theory. But regardless, we aren't affected by her. Now, the second thing is the way everyone is changing. I think that this is the way she views them, taking their personalities and multiplying them."
"Yeah, I didn't think Lee and Neji were the kind of guys that would like ana-"
"AHEM," Iruka interrupted Naruto, "So I believe that if we confront her about this, we can force her to stop. Her only technique can't harm us."
"Right, she's show that bitch the what-for!"
Before the two could go back for a confrontation, there was suddenly a loud explosion! Whirling around, the two missing nins, Zabuza and Haku came jumping down from a rooftop, with Leaf ninja close behind!
"Wait... you two are dead." Naruto spoke aloud, seeing but unable to believe it.
"omg they are stronger than b4!" Kakashi appeared suddenly. Iruka jumped in surprise.
"Kakashi! How are they still alive!" Naruto asked, desperate for some answers.
"there power lvl is 1 million!" Kakashi said, looking with his Sharingan as if it had the added ability to tell such a thing.
"What the hell is a power level?" Naruto asked, even more confused.
Before he could be answered, Meri-Su bust out of the top floor window of the building her and the Hokage were in. She did like 40 flips in the air and landed in a cool pose behind Zabuza and Haku.
"I won't allow you to destroy my village!" she said fiercely.
"We'll see about that!" Zabuza yelled, and Haku sped towards her.
"Forbidden Technique: Neko Wai Wai Sugoi no Jutsu!" Meri yelled and performed a series of complex hand-seals. She began to glow and suddenly PRETTY, PRETTY ANGEL WINGS GREW OUT OF HER BACK, THE COLOR OF VIRGIN SNOW. With a shower of feathers, Meri-Su knocked out Haku and teleported in front of a shocked Zabuza.
"I'll show you the error of your ways! Luw Luw Revolution no Jutsu!" Meri said and performed more hand-seals. A heart-shaped beam flew from her hands and into Zabuza, who's expression turned from fear to deep regret. He walked over to Haku's prone form and picked him up as if he were a small baby.
"Oh Haku, I luw you." he said and kissed the boy on the lips to 'seal the deal.' The crowd of people that had grown started to cheer.
"Naruto," Iruka whispered, "we need to confront Meri now, before things get even more out of hand!"
"Let's do it." Naruto said, eager to stop the insanity.
They quickly walked up to her, unnoticed because the crowd was too busy congratulating Zabuza's heroic display of love. Meri had changed back to her non-angelic form and turned when she felt someone tap her shoulder.
"Hmm? Oh, yes boys?" she said, turning around and facing the two stern looking ninjas.
"The gig is up, Meri, if that's your real name!" Naruto said in a menacing tone.
"We know your using some advanced form of genjutsu, give it up now and it won't come to violence." Iruka threatened.
"Oh my, what ever shall I- GET THEM!" she jumped back and pointed a finger at the two of them. The crowed turned as one and immediately pounced on the unsuspecting duo. Although they put up a valiant fight, the last thing Naruto saw before getting knocked in the back of the neck was Iruka being dragged down by a pack of ninja.
Naruto woke with a start. He attempted to rub his eyes but couldn't move his arms. Looking down at himself, he realized he was tied to a pole. To his right, Iruka was just coming to as well, similarly bound to a pole. All around them were the citizens of Konoha, as well as the ninjas-turned-corpses-turned-lovers Zabuza and Haku, that were looking at one another in a way that suggested they had more than a teacher/apprentice relationship. Meri-Su stepped forward, hands on her hips, a smug grin on her face.
"Well that was exciting!" she said, "But now its time to pair you two up! Dolphin-teacher, you of course are going to Kakashi-sensei." Kakashi could be heard squealing with delight somewhere in the back of the crowd.
"As for you, Naruto-kun, I think you'll be with..." she put a hand to her chin in deep thought, "Kiba AND Akamaru sounds good to me."
"Me too!" Kiba yelled out, while Akamaru barked.
"No! Oh hell no!" Naruto struggled against the hemp ropes, desperate to get free.
"I... I'm sorry, Naruto." Iruka said, mournfully.
"Now, time to get the pairings underway! Luw Luw Revo-" she was cut off mid-sentence by a flying kick from a very angry Naruto.
"I've had enough of this! Stop this shit right now!" Naruto screamed, the Kyuubi's chakra flowing through him. He stomped towards Meri's prone form, the crowd parting out of fear. What Naruto saw surprised him.
Meri had changed from a raven-haired beauty to a fat, young woman. Girl, rather, she only looked about fourteen or fifteen. Her hair was about to her shoulders, and was obviously dyed blonde. She wore a t-shirt that was much too small for her, with some kind of big-eyed red-head girl on the front with the words "Hook-Ups" under it.
"Kyaa~!" Meri screeched, "Someone help me!" All of the demon-fox's chakra drained from him, this was the biggest display of sad he had ever seen in his life. Before he could make any sense of what happened, a man started pushing his way through the crowd.
"Move it, move it," he grumbled to himself. When he got to the girl, he roughly pulled her up by the arm, "Young lady, you are in deep trouble!"
"Otousan!" she slurred out the phrase.
"Speak English like I tell you, damnit! And for all this I'm taking away your internet for one week!"
"YOU CAN'T DO THAT YOU'RE NOT MY REAL DAD!" she screeched back.
"Yes I am Goddamit, I'll get a blood-test if it'll shut you up with that shit!" The girl's father yelled to her, forcing her to walk with him.
"What the hell is going on?!" Naruto himself screamed.
"Yeah, yeah sorry 'bout this folks, I'll take care of this." The man said.
Suddenly, a gray box popped up into the air above them, with words inscribed on it.
Confirm File Delete - Are you sure you want to send 'me in naruto!1!' to the Recycle Bin? Yes No
A white arrow floated up to the 'Yes' and made a clicking noise.
"Everything that happened here will be undone." said the man, slowly disappearing with his chubby daughter.
"I regret nothing!" yelled Zabuza, before 'poofing' away.
"It was a good ride!" Haku yelled, then going back to the dead like Zabuza.
"Oh thank God!" Lee said, seeing Neji walking towards him.
"k thx." said Kakashi
"What the hell was all that?!" Naruto yelled, then there was a loud ringing noise.
Naruto bolted up in bed and slapped his alarm clock off. He was panting and covered in sweat, like he woke up from a nightmare. Taking a few deep breaths, he slowly got out of bed and went into the shower. After changing into his clothes and eating, Naruto went out to the woods where Kakashi had told Team 7 to meet him, although he had a feeling of dread as to what he would find. Getting to the spot, he looked and saw...
Sasuke, leaning against a tree, and Sakura sneaking peeks at him. Naruto was too nervous to say anything, and half and hour later Kakashi showed up, being ignorant to the fact that he was late. They went out on a simple mission of helping out a small farming community, all the while Naruto felt like things were out of place. Team 7 returned to Konoha in the evening, and once free for the rest of the day Naruto bolted about the village, looking for people he knew.
When he found them, they were acting completely normal. By the time Naruto finished up some of his own training and was getting ready for bed, he forgot about whatever it was that made him worry all day and have a nice sleep.
The End!
