Chapter 6: Tsunade's Punishment. Revealed Memories.
Crap!! I found a blooper on my part in chapter 5. Sasuke was in the hospital and was one of the ones that didn't get brought to the future, so pretend he wasn't there.
Tsunade smiled at them as they approached.
"You want me to take the heat?" Naruto-mirai muttered to Gaara-mirai.
"No," the sand-nin muttered back.
The seven boys stopped in front of the Fifth Hokage. She looked down at them with a fake, very fake smile. "What are you two doing?" she asked, her voice was low and cold.
"Um...going home?" Naruto-mirai ventured.
Glare. "What were you doing?"
"Playing!" Naruto-mirai said.
"Playing?!" Gaara-mirai asked. That was the best he could come up with?!
"Playing with your new Jutsus? In front of your past selves?" Tsunade leaned down she that she was at the shorter ninja's level. The only thing running through the two boys' minds though was, 'she's gonna kill us!'.
"Um—uh...Look!! Ero-sennin's peeping at those girls!" Naruto-mirai yelled pointing to the left.
"What?" Tsunade turned to look where he was pointing. Seeing nothing, she turned back even angrier to find herself looking at the past-nins. Naruto-mirai was running for his life, dragging Gaara-mirai behind him. "...."
Forty-five minutes of running from an enraged monster, also know as Tsunade, found Naruto-mirai and Gaara-mirai tied up and chained to chairs. Naruto-mirai was desperately trying to rack his non-existant brain for a plan to escape. Gaara-mirai just sat looking annoyed, figuring he might as well get this over with.
"Baka," he muttered to the panicking boy next to him. "Why is it that every time I spend time with you I always end up in trouble?"
"Cause you always do what I tell you to," Naruto-mirai stated.
"I didn't do what you told me to!!" Gaara-mirai quietly shrieked. "You attacked me!!"
"You didn't have to attack back."
Death glare. "......"
"Gaara and Naruto," Tsunade said from her desk where she had been trying to catch her breath. "Why do you insist on making my job harder then it already is?!"
"It's his fault!!" Naruto-mirai cried, unable to think of anything else.
Gaara-mirai fell over anime style. 'What happened to 'you want me to take the heat'?!' Gaara-mirai chose to out loudly ignore this comment as he already knew Tsunade knew it was false. He would just get him back later.
"I refuse to talk about this to you two, so I'm just going to skip to your punishment..."
"I refuse!"
"That's it?" Naruto-mirai asked in surprise.
"I refuse!!"
"I thought it would be harder." Naruto-mirai mused as the sand-nin panicked next to him.
"You'll be going with Kankurou and the mission should take about three days." Tsunade said.
"What?! What'd'ya mean 'with Kankurou'?!" Naruto-mirai cried.
Tsunade smiled wickedly at them. "Go ahead and get ready to go." Two chunins untied them and led them out the door.
"Aw, this wont be so bad Gaara! I mean besides going with Kankurou—um..Gaara?" Naruto-mirai watch the petrified sand-nin walk past him and several of their friends (past and future) that happened to be standing outside the Hokage office.
"What's wrong?" Sasuke-mirai asked staring after Gaara-mirai.
"Tsunade's making us go to Sunakagure with Kankurou for a few days," Naruto-mirai explained.
"So?" the raven haired nin asked.
"As girls," Naruto-mirai finished. "She said that using chakra to make the illusion for a few days will be good training to make Gaara's chakra return faster so we can send you all," motions to the past nins, "back home. Plus she seems to think we get in too much trouble here."
Temari-mirai sighed as she walked to Sakura-mirai's house. Since her brothers and Naruto had left yesterday it had been very dull around the house. Well, a lot of their friends still came over to hang out, but it was much quieter the before. She knocked on the door and greeted by Sakura-mirai. Ino-mirai and the younger Sakura and Ino were there too.
Sasuke-mirai walked through the deserted area that was once the dwelling of the Uchiha clan. He stepped into the Nakano Shrine and down into the secret Uchiha meeting place that his brother, Itachi, had told him about. He looked down at the manuscript where the purpose of the doujutsu was written. (A/N: Chapter 225-ish)
Damn Itachi. Damn curse.
He shouldn't have come here. It brought back bad, painful memories. He smiled sadly. His past self was one of the few that Gaara-mirai didn't bring. Sasuke-mirai half wished he was here and half glad he wasn't. Sasuke-mirai unconsciously rubbed the place where he had received Orochimaru's curse.
Sasuke-mirai backed out of the room. Naruto had been right. He didn't need Orochimaru for more power. He made several hand seals. "And I don't need to be like you brother!" Sasuke-mirai took a deep breath. "KATON!...GOUKAKYUU NO JUTSU!!!" Sasuke-mirai watched the meeting place burn. 'I don't need the past anymore....'
He stepped out of the Shrine to see Neji-mirai waiting for him with the younger Neji, Gaara and Naruto. The past nins looked confused, Neji-mirai had a small grin on his face.
"Thought we might find something to do for the next three days since Naruto and Gaara will be gone," the Hyuuga said.
"Where's Lee?" Sasuke-mirai asked.
"Both are training," Neji-mirai explained. They stood in silence for a few minutes trying to think of something to do. Neji-mirai sighed. "Do you guys know how to play rugby?" (a/n: I love this game)
"No," Gaara and Neji said.
"Hell yeah!" Naruto cried.
"We know you know." Sasuke-mirai said. "You're the one who taught us."
"Let's go get the others and have a big game!" Naruto said, already starting to head back to the Sand house. On the way there he explain none stop to Neji and Gaara how to play. Which was pointless since he would have to explain it again to everyone else when they got there.
They met up with the girls half way. Temari-mirai looked desperate to get away since the girls had decided to go to the mall and stare at cute boys. Not her idea of fun. Ino-mirai didn't want to play but agreed to watch. The Ten ten's and Sakura's agreed to play. Sakura-mirai went off to get Lee, who she knew would agree to leave his training if she asked him. Ten ten went to the Hyuuga house to get Hinata-mirai and, on her way back, Kiba-mirai. No one had any idea where Shino-mirai lived, but they were assured that Kiba-mirai could find him with Akamaru-mirai's help.
Within twenty minutes all the past and future nins were gathered at the old field near Shikamaru-mirai's house. Eleven past nins and eight future nins....and two dogs. It was immediately ruled out that Gaara and Naruto couldn't be on the same team (though it confused the two since they weren't friends yet and it was really Gaara- and Naruto-mirai who were the dangerous team). In the end Shikamaru-mirai divided the teams up and agreed to play sideline referee.
Three hours later.
(a/n: there's a camp near my house and they have this thing called Teen night where teenagers all over can come and hang out for about five hours. My friends and I go and play Rugby the whole time.)
"GASP GASP!!!"
To tired, or to beat up to play the ninjas laid down where they fell, gasping for breath. Everyone had at least a bruise or two (except for Gaara, who just looked completely exausted). Both Ino's went to Shikamaru's house and brought back water for everyone. When everyone had drank their fill and had nearly caught their breath, they asked Shikamaru-mirai who won.
Blink. "You wanted me to keep score too?" he asked, then ran as an enraged Temari-mirai chased him around with her fan.
